Gorgas elections: two seniors edge in. Woody Corder, Jim Criss, and Andy Ama- trudo secure charter for Sagrog (Gorgas spelled backwards). And so another great in- stitution is founded at B.C.D.S. Clinical results tabulated — A Group— Oh! B Group — Gee!! C Group— Ah!!! D Group— Whoops!!!! More foil, more inlay, more gas. Time was going fast. Every Senior was working hard to fulfill all the requirements for graduation. The scarcity of patients made the going more dfficult. National Board Dental Examinations for Part I meant long study- ing hours and plenty of midnight oil. Five Seniors worked up the courage to take the examinations. Pearl Harbor attacked! We were shocked at the treachery of the Japanese. We shall remember this barbarism and its perpetrators. Seniors were well aware that they would ultimately serve under the colors of the red, white and blue. Innumerable questions of when?, where? and how? The two weeks of Christmas recess were more than welcome. Conventions, ath- letics, business and other things took up our time. Many men had interviews for in- ternships, and some were engaged; others worked, and many took advantage of the chance to catch up on their sleep. The first semester was over the end of the month and then we would enter the last lap. We are anxious to graduate, though our future be uncertain. Gratz, Lichtenstein, Lewis and Rogoff have received notification of acceptance as dental interns in their chosen hospitals. Everson is still making prosthetics his hobby Cohen has his day of comedy at least once a week. Savage gets a letter from North Carolina every day. The Glens Falls Bugle blasts ethical advertisements about the Helitzer. And speaking of Ethics, Dean Robinson ' s course continually involved lively discus- sions of the dentist ' s role in ethical conduct. Normally it is a subject in which many students would fall asleep, but the Dean ' s resourceful presentation created a good deal of interest. On the clinic floor Dr. Liberman exhibited his newest invention — combination face bow, ear warmer and pumice cup holder. He also claims that it can be used to hold cotton rolls, and to hang out the wash on a rainy day. Our spirits were depressed considerably by the passing of our beloved Miss Mullens. Unselfishly devoted to the interests of the students, she served the school conscientiously and to the utmost of her ability. Her cheery smile and ever optimistic predictions will always remain among our favorite recollections. Two more of our classmates deserted their bachelor quarters. Irv Katz was married during the first week of the semester. Shortly afterward Art Herrschaft renounced his singleness and became a better two than one man. That we are growing up is indicated by the increased percentage of married men in the class. Dr. Ide now lectures to us three hours a week. Timely discussions on gold foil technique and various other subjects make these hours seem short. We spent Washington ' s Birthday in the clinic. Governor O ' Conor felt that we could do more for George by continuing our education uninterruptedly during the emergency. Dr. Wilkinson returned to the roster of lecturers. His snappy quizzes made us keep wide awake and many collections of last year ' s notes were brought out just for an airing. March winds! The days go by fast, and according to Scoop Rogoff we ' ve got forty-one and three-quarter days of lusty clinic practice left before graduation. A good number of the class are taking informal first-aid instruction one hour a week. From all accounts this course will serve its purpose when we enter military or naval service. Al Herman ' s excellent work in securing an instructor and a lecture hall is worthy of mention. A history of the future of the class is not too hard to envision. We ' ve worked hard and diligently and the results have been gratifying. A prophecy of a happv future for the entire class is not out of focus, for we ' ve learned a lot and are ever ready to learn more. We expect no miracles this year. The war will see the greater part of the class in service. Some already have naval commissions; others have dental internships Whatever happens, the present senior class will be set. Jason R.

WiELAND Student Representative OaaI a the —irvto tde - Converging from the four points of the compass the 64 members of the class returned to the fold. They came by rail, road, ocean, and Nathanson by plane. Pardon me! We have one less among us — Miss Elsa Chiques, now Mrs. Tolley, has forsaken dentistry to become the proud mother of a beaming daughter. 63 Scholars now! A grand old gentleman, Dr. Harry Latcham, passed away during the summer. His enduring patience and meticulous instruction will always be remembered by his students. Dan Cupid has hit the mark again. Glenn Steele and Miss Alice Elchenko decided it would be much easier to be Mr. and Mrs. Of the same mind was Danny Rakosky who didn ' t take much time to decide that home-cooking was better than restaurant fare. Pages of rules and regulations in regard to smoking, clinical procedure, and general conduct. White jackets to be changed only on the mezzanine floor; no smoking in class- rooms or near lockers; instruments to be kept sharp; cases clean, and charts all filled out. Seniors, Juniors, take heed. Looks hke a bit of collaboration between Dean Robinson and Dr. McCarthy. Cliff plus Ch£F, Jr., provide refreshing welcome to hungry students. The new lounge is really modernistic: chrome and royal blue chairs and tables; red leather divans for two, and a swell radio. Miss Mullen ' s smiling welcome, Mrs. Reed ' s cheerful Good Morning and Mrs. Carroll ' s Want a full upper? are all part of the first week of school. Margaret hands out clean gowns and towels, and handy Nick keeps the clinical equipment in running order. Class lectures are old stuff now. Dr. Ide opines on social security — notes are profuse everywhere. Physician Waller bends backwards — the lecturer in Jurisprudence looks longingly out the window. New jokes by Dr. Leonard call for booming chuckles. Nuss- baum asks the first question, then gives the answer, and so on. Some men go to school in their spare hours, work at the railway express at night — others work the Gayety. Ouellette and Wieland arrive on time, sometimes later — Rogoff scoops Information Please, and September passes on. Football season! Stadium lounge provides real thrillers — Dr. Deems passes the ball to diagnosis. Herman will take odds on Minnesota against Siwash — finally makes enough to take quarter bets. Dr. Roh knows his horses — Dan Bixby says Aw Gee! Good news! Dean Robinson made president-elect of the American Dental Associa- tion. Large delegation from Maryland attended the annual convention at Houston, Texas. Kolman still claims height on Dr. Grempler — stout fellow, Irv. Clean case, washed trays and basins, sharp instruments, and gold foil restorations recommended by Dr. Randolph. Hehtzer ' s press agent in Glens Falls, New York, takes care of home-town publicity. Says Bernie, My brother does a good job, huh? Myron S. Aisenberg D.D.S., F.A.C.D. Honorary President Page Twelve
