Honorary Class President Joseph C. Biddix, Jr., D.D.S. during the freshman year, because of the war and othsr unforeseen conditions, the class was unintentionally converted into a guinea pig, as it were, for the School ' s experimentation with its teaching staff. By the time we became sophomores, diffi- culties resulting from faculty changes and shortages were fairly well straightened out. The Class of ' 45, unlike any other class that preceded it, had the opportunity to join the Army and yet be separated from it while still in School. Few of us will ever forget the days we spent at Fort Meade during our induction period and during the time of our discharge. In particular, the ones who won the seventy-dollar dice games will relish the thought. With the advent of our donning clinic gowns, many of us felt the breath of professional life and with it the wisdom Dr. Ide ' s wise counsel that professional men should be family men. As a consequence, a goodly bunch of the boys have become benedicts. As the final curtain began to close on our days at the B.C.D.S., our minds were laden with the thought of the immensity of the require- ments of the senior year. They constituted an horrendous obstacle that had to be hurdled by all of us. We now look forward with firm conviction and stout determination to taking our places side by side with our fellow men in the Armed Forces of our nation, to help effect a quick end to the war and the attain- ment of a just and lasting peace. iuy
