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.
