Moses Sergeant-at-Arms Leonard Nardozza It was without deep regret that we left the stench of the anatomy lab and divested ourselves of the ever-present sense of impending doom so characteristic of the freshman experience. Sixty-two strong we entered the sophomore year in November, ' 43, with faltering footsteps, but with the high resolve to assume the added responsibilities of being privates in the Army of the United States, and to tackle seriously the job at hand. And so it was with ideals such as these that we launched into the story of inflammation and the depressive action of the barbiturates. Even the vast myriad of complex, physiologic, graphic charts presented by Dr. Oster did not stop us, that is, for any great length of time. The sense of repetition was developed strongly within us as Dr. Warner casually complimented us on our castings and in the same breath requested us to do it again. We soon learned that line angles and point angles do have their place in operative dentistry and were constantly reminded of the fact by Drs. Randolph and Trommer. These temporary inconveniences, however, did not daunt us in the least, for with our usual high dignity of purpose we smoothed the rough spots and kept our eyes elevated to the Junior Year. Now as this second year is drawing to a close we find ourselves sneaking into the Clinic to see what is in store for us, and to pray silently for the safety of our future patients. How constructive our prayers are will depend largely upon the knowledge acquired in the past nine months. We feel confident that in the coming Junior year . we shall reap the rewards of serious endeavor. Group 1. Left to Right First row: M. Greenstein, L. Towlen, M. MorcUi, J. Cappuccio, M. Colecchi, J.

Anxiously, fearfully, and with very little braggadocio we tried on the new and attractive white gowns and then cautiously made our way to the clinic floor beneath the doubtful looks of the instructors and the condescending looks of the Seniors — Marquis de McCarthy, we are here. The staccato banging of our falling cases was enough to unnerve the none too steady seniors and the even less placid natures of the helpless patients. The big push was on — fatalities at this writing consist of one crushed toe from one big box, suffered by one Stan Oring. Turning to the more frivolous side of our existence, it is worthy to mention that a super-scintillating dance was run by the class at the Merchants ' Club on April 29, 1944. This fact can be well attested to by the Freshmen, the Sophomores and especially the Seniors. History, too, was made during the past year. The Junior Class Family was increased by two — one a future oral surgeon contributed by John Mc Williams; the other a dental hygienist-to-be, by John Keighly. Two worthy and admired members of our faculty, Dr. McCarthy and Dr. Grempler, were unable, because of ill health, to complete the year with us. Their instruction and their friendship were sorely missed. To a man, we look forward to greeting them, happy and healthy, in our senior year. There has been much talk of late that a definite need has arisen for closer cooperation between the Army and Navy. Little such cooperation has been exhibited here at School. In its stead there has grown up in both groups a healthy esprit de corps leading toward a friendly rivalry. It is difficult to enumerate the usual run of dances, quizzes, and Army and Navy formations, and to describe the humorous and interesting circumstances that have surrounded these occasions. It hasn ' t been an unusual year as far as Junior years go, but to us individually new vistas have been opened and we have become endowed with a strong desire to master cur profession. We march forward on the road to graduation and to the fight against the common foe. r 19 1
