PAGE 28 IAMES D. HART President TED E. RITZE Vice-President FULLER WARDEN Secretary amor Cfiflfifif The Senior Class of '46 has arrived, per- haps not with the 105 students she began vvith, but surely leaving behind her a trail of blood and Weeping tissue. Dental school has proven one thing to her - and that one thing is: It was an long hard grind, fellows. As a place of learning, mit udder vorts - Na respectable joint she admires her dear old Alma Mater. As a senior class should, she can boast of a fine bunch of men who are novv ready, she thinks, to go out and meet the world in the professional aspect. With the A.S.T.P. Working out as a flash in the pan, still a good many of us could have had harder and bigger gripes, but We didn't. What say Navy? There was a deal for you. Let's not forget our friendships that have grown from physiology and anatomy through the foil tests and senior set ups. In fact, if vve could only realize, then look back after the years have closed in about us, we would say, What a gang. Wish I could see them all now. Into the future then we now gaze thought- fully, wondering vvhat sort of a doctor we will make. Will vve be a credit to our pro- fession? Will vve be a success? All of these and many more questions keep racing through our minds. Post-vvar dentistry holds much for usg there is much to be done, so much to be gained. We have our foundation: our professors, our doctors have aided us this far - now We are on our ovvn. Let's build! Where could a man find a bigger and better opportunity 'than to be one of our graduating class of this year? - The Bushwhacker

The Bushw we 388 I never see a twisted tree, All torn by gale and bruised by storm, And yet whose torn and twisted form Still lifts its branches full and free Toward Heaven as though in prayer to be, Whose roots deep down in Mother Earth Still grasp the soil that gave them birth, That something does not say to me: Here is a lesson you should learn, When storms of life you too, shall smite, And hope and faith seem nearly gone, And doubt your faltering steps would turn, Stand firm for what you think is right, And in God's name fight on and on. - EDWARD LGVELLE STEWART, MD. ln service of the sclfzool as Professor of Histology and Bacteriology for thirty-five years, Dr. Edward Lovelle Stewart died january 24, 1945. hacker PAGE 29
