Then you have hardly got accustomed to your teeth when it is time for them to be replaced by a whole new set. Some are obstinate about coming out and have to be pulled. There is little fun in that, either. So at last you have a full set of permanent teeth and should be able to assume ) ' our troubles are ended. Not so. They ache. They have to be filled. Before they can be filled they have to be drilled by a kindly dentist who says, This is going to hurt a little. His idea of little isn ' t yours. Teeth have to be brushed. Things get between them and etiquette frowns on toothpicks that could bring comfort. The nerves in the teeth begin to die, but not all the way. So they have to be put out of their misery. It is not a painless death. And, oh yes, teeth have to be straightened with braces that do not make for beauty. Considering the amount of work that has been done on your teeth you might imagine there was no space left for a new filling. But the dentist can always find one. And the fillings that are in fall out at inconvenient times. Having passed through all the prehminary stages you are at last ready for extractions. And bridge work. And plates. And whole sets of false teeth. Are you rheumatic? Does it hurt you when you raise your arm like that? Your teeth instantly come under suspicion. Suppose that arms and legs, skulls and torsos, tibias, fibulas, and femurs, and other parts of the human body were as unreliable as teeth; and as frequently subject to breakdowns. Suppose, like teeth, they had to be replaced, filled, bridged and extracted. What a pickle we would be in. Christopher Billopp Reprinted from The Evening Sun, January 2, 1949. = 3 J ' (pJm jLcknL OF THE UNIVERSITY HARRY CLIFTON RYRD Dr. Byrd was born in Crisfield, Maryland, on February 12, 1889. He attended Cris- field High School and the Maryland Agri- cultural College, where he received his de- gree in 1908.

In 1912, he became athletic coach and in- structor in English and history at his alma mater. During World War I, he organized and directed the Students Training Corps at College Park. At the close of the war he was made assistant to Dr. A. F. Woods, President of the University. He remained in that position when Dr. Woods was suc- ceeded by Dr. Raymond Pearson. When Dr. Pearson resigned in 1936, Dr. Byrd was chosen to succeed him. OF MARYLAND WILLIAM PRESTON LANE, Jr. Governor Lane was born in Hagers- town, Maryland, on May 12, 1892. He graduated from the University of Virginia in 1915 and was admitted to the bar in 1916.

In January, 1947, he took the oath of office as Governor of the State of Maryland. © ' ' IF (Wilh aj)()l()}i,ic lo Kndyard K pIhi,ii) By John H. Morse If you can keep your nerve when all about you I ' m placing instruments you hate to see; If you can grip yourself when I ' m ab(nit to Bear down upon a nerve not tenderly; If you can grin, and not bite when I ' m grinding, Or when you hear me snarl, don ' t try to speak — Because my office girl I ' m merely asking To get another drill before next week. If you can dream, but not of what I ' m doing; If you can think, and hold your thoughts in check, If you can take a probe, or clean scraping. And keep your luncheon down below your neck; If you can bear to hear the bur ' s swift whirring. As up and down a nerve I softly play, And hold yourself without a muscle stirring, And then come back again for more next day; If you can let me grab the tooth that ' s aching; Grasp tight the chair and never pitch or toss, Nor cuss, nor faint, nor die, while I ' m extracting. And never groan a bit about your loss; If you can force your jaw to open wider. Your tongue to keep away when I ' m at work. And hold them there while I drill that incisor, And never spoil my technique with a jerk; If you keep still while I move each bicuspid To places where I think they ' d better be. And tell you that you ' ve been to stupid dentists Whose work I ' ll rearrange for just my fee; If you then pay the bill which I will send you At once, nor murmur of an overcharge. Yours is the world and everything that ' s in it. Because you are the only one at large! Reprinted from Tbc Dental D gcsf XXVIII (November, 1922), p. 703.

THE WOMEN OF B.C.D.S. 12 f THE SENIORS CLASS OFFICERS President John E. Parent Vice-President Mitchell J. Burgin Secretary George E. O ' Roark Treasurer Charles R. Milne Historian Pedro H. Hernandez Sergcant-at-Arms Norton J. Bloch SENIOR CLASS HISTORY As we raise sails before the wind, exhausted, somber, but serene, our Odyssey slowly nears its end. The swallows meeting our ship announce that soon our eyes will rest upon the longed-for shores of Ithaca, Calypso, Circe, Lotophagi, Polyphemus ... a fearful tetralogy which only a stout determination to survive, a patient wait, a glorious hope, could vanquish. But looking back on four years ' work, the hardships met are but sweet memories which live forever in our souls. They bring us joy and gladness, assurance, faith; a feeling of composure earnestly won. _ Though we know too well our shortcomings, and how wide and fathomless the ocean of experience is, we wish to answer our conscience when it calls thus: Now seek the strength to use which thou hast spent in getting. We feel that our efforts have not been in vain, for our goal is noble. And on the eve of achievement, when we stop for a moment and look back, in retrospect, on the un- ending hours of redundant work, the anxiety spent in expectation of a passing grade, the iuy dreariness of doinj; tliin, s over williout achieving the proposed ideal, we arc glad that ihey are over. Jiut we are conscious that these austere experiences were necessary to make us worthy of our profession and prepare us for the services that our fellow citizens expect from us. Our class has been unique in all its phases. It has not lx;en exceptional; rather, it has been looked at by some as an unwanrcd stepchild. But circumstances have made it a class of firsts, in which anything might be expected to happen. As a group this class may be considered outspoken, independent, daring, unin- hibited and cheerful. Always ready to laugh, the seriousness of formal lectures never concealed a humorous connection, and jokes were received as manna from the heavens. Being a small class was our greatest privilege, for it multiplied the occasions of personal contacts with those who taught us, bringing us closer. Our highest appreciation goes to those who with their zeal and fervtjr led us through the intricate paths of knowledge, who inspired us with their wisdom and devotion, who encouraged and helped us in developing our potentialities. On accepting our responsibilities to society, we realize fully that we are but neophytes who will continue with unfaltering ardor in the task of mastering our pro- fession. To its glory, and to the betterment of our communities, may we dedicate our hves. ' P. Hernandez, Historian Stanley H. Dosh, D.D.S.

Mayer Sergeaiit-at-Arms Alt Nassir-Hassoun JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Jovial shouts and lusty greetings were sounded as summer beavers and vacationists met on registration day. Gowns were issued, rubber dams applied, patients assigned, and the clinic wheels began to turn. To an outsider this procedure would have seemed merely routine, but to us each step led into the unknown. The white clinic gowns tranformed us to the heights of bliss, while the first pulp exposure carried us to the depths of despair. Everyone looked confident and profes- sional on the clinic floor, but closer examination would have revealed beads of perspiration and shakine limbs. ' o The one-day-a-week academic classes were a snap, and we discarded the midnight oil so frequently burned during our first two years; but the bombshell of examinations repeatedly ex- ploded in our midst and the books were hastily withdrawn from the shelves. An increased volume of gas hung over the clinic floor this year, but with the able assistance of Dr. Randolph and Company we managed to stay out of the stratosphere. The instructiveness and patience exhibited by the Gaver-Nuttall combine made the downst airs clinic a pleasant place to work. Class elections, the annual School Mixer, and fraternity rushing dotted the first three months. A new extracurricular organization — The Research Study Group — joined the Gorgas Society and the Gaver Seminar. The three-year jaunt to the top floor ended with the close of the first trimester. The long hours of laboratory work in oral pathology, plus the excellent view of the nurses home, were willed to the incoming class. The new year held many surprises for us in the way of examinations, new subjects, local anesthetic injections, x-ray and extraction techniques, and the ever-present clinic floor. We look back with pride and forward with anticipation as the senior year becomes a reality. To each of the seniors we offer our thanks for their help and our best wishes for a long and successful practice. J. Mayer, Historian i 25 THE JUNIORS F rst row: G. Minnix, L. Harrison, C. Horan, E.

Schneider Treasurer John H. Dearman Historian Roland V. Reed Sergeaiif-at-Anns Paul D. Torre SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY Fortified by a green light from the Vanden Bosche, Hahn, McCrea trivimvirate, the members of the class of ' 5 1 descended upon the northwest corner of Lombard and Greene with more con- stitutional spirit and animation than a Tatum-tutored terrapin. And why not? There were things to be done: apartments to rent, freshmen to gas, mezzanine lockers to secure, dental mirrors to display, and bite blocks to set up. A quick roll-call disclosed that more of the old faces were missing, and on the first school night members of the class gathered in small groups throughout the city to toast those whose quixotic apparition is now but a memory. Such evenings of relaxation and mirth were soon to come to a screeching halt. By Christmas we were submerged so deeply beneath a pile of pathogenic bacteria that all of Dobbs ' serums and all of Dobbs ' drugs, couldn ' t help us one bit to get rid of the bugs. We had our troubles in technic too. The transition from the Boley gauge to the dental gauge was finally accomplished, and it was comforting to realize that the manikins couldn ' t talk (or bite) back. Pathology and Physiology made their appearance with the new year, and it was gratifying that the texts were less cumbersome to carry than Shay ' s green bible. Barry, Blondet, Glower, Fidler, Fontanella, Inouye, Moran, Pleet, Reed and Ridinger made the fatal mistake and took unto themselves spouses. A contingent of the most hearty decided to gamble one more time and joined the ROTG, while the boys in the back room offered three to one the Navy would sail in with a better deal. But most important of all, as the year progressed each of us became more and more aware of the task assumed. Dentistry no longer was giving the impression of being a bed of roses. As the year progressed, the class still laughed and played, but this dissembling outwardness in no way ex- pressed the deep craving of each member of the class to do his daily best. Thus, the Sophomore, like the five-legged Shmoo, has two behind him and two in front. The past two years have been enjoyable and fruitful, but our interest is now focused on the Junior year ahead. R.

It affords alumni as well as students opportunity to publish any new material about which they may have developed new theories or technics. An annual feature of the Journal is the publication of an abridgement of the preceding year ' s prize- winning thesis. All alumni of this Dental School receive the periodical and thereby acquaint themselves with the various activities of their alma mater. The Journal has published and will continue to publish items from literature concerning dentists and dentistry, selected from the collection made by the Department of Dental History and Dental Literature.

As a result of suggestions made to the Council by the classes through their representatives, the Council has, in its several years of existence, brought about many worthwhile improvements in the general conduct of student affairs at the School. Each year the Council co-sponsors the social functions of the various classes; it also plays an active part in the support of the School ' s publi- cations.

Burgin Faculty Ailiisnr William E. HahN; D. D. S. The Gorgas Odontological Society was founded in 1916 as an honorary student dental society on principles of scholastic ability, character, and professional bearing. The organization is named after Dr. Ferdinand J. S. Gorgas, a pioneer in dental education, a teacher of many years ' experience, and during his life a great contributor to dental literature. It was with the idea of perpetuating his name that the Society adopted it. At first the organization was somewhat gangling, and unprepossessive; but gr.idually the young Society began to formulate more definitive rules and more exacting requirements. As of 1945, requirements for entrance into the Society were made quite stringent so that today membership is limited to no more than thirty per cent of the junior class. First row: M. Sagawa, J.

Secretary Vernon Thomas Hart Trciisiini- Theodore Leizman The Interfrateinity Council was organized in February of 1944 for the purpose of coordinating fraternity affairs. The Council controls under constitutional laws the rushing of new men and the fraternity affairs that involve all fraternities. This legislative body is composed of three members from each of the fraternities, whose responsibility it is to serve the best interests of both the school and each member fraternity. Through this representation, each fraternal organization may adeq uately present any fraternity problem before the Council, and by means of a round-table dis- cussion with members of the other fraternities, these problems can be solved. Since Its founding, the Council has been an important factor in promoting the good will and fraternalism present in all student relations. First rotv: T. Leizman. E. Kostas, A. Picozzi, N. Blocli.

The Baltimore College of Dental Surgery, Dental School, University of Maryland, established an Army officer- training unit imdcr the Reserve Officers Training Corps program in September, 1948. Over sixty students indicated their interest in the R. O. T. C, but an enrollment quota was set at thirty-eight members. The quota was quickly filled by thirty-eight veterans who sought places on the roster of the unit. The course of instructi on is based on one hour of training for a period of thirty-two weeks, and six weeks ' attendance at the Medical Field Service School, Fort Sam Houston, Texas, during the summer. The unit is under the direction of Lieutenant-Colonel Frederick H. Richardson, D. C. A graduate of Kansas City- Western Dental School, he practiced for several years before enlisting in the Army Dental Corps in 1937. His war record is of unusual interest. He spent sixty-eight months in overseas service. Captured at Corregidor, he was held prisoner by the Japanese for three and one-half years. After a long period of hospitalization, following his liberation on September 6, 1945, Colonel Richardson was assigned to Hamilton Field in California, where he served for two years prior to his coming to Baltimore. i uy THE MIXER DANCE 45 h Xi Psi Phi ETA CHAPTER Foiiinlcil at the University of Michigan in 1889 Floii ' cr: American Beauty Rose Colors: Lavender and Cream Joiiniiil: Xi Psi Phi Quarterly OFFICERS President Albert Carmen Picozzi Vice-Prrshicnf George Evans Mannix Secretary Clement Freeman Hahn Treasurer Robert Gordon Jones Editor Kenneth Kerwood Kline Guard Paul Carl Wainwright Pledge Master Donald James McElroy Fint row: R.

To establish contact between the cuspid and bicuspid, insert separator between molar and bicuspid until MO amalgam on the first bicuspid is checked off. 2. Invest wax pattern in powdered chalk to get a polished, well-fitting casting. 3. To perform simple gingivectomy around Cl. V restorations, use steel lightning strips, Black ' s finishing knives, or pumice on a wire brush. 4. To get practice in alveolectomies, just extract quickly and rotate buccally without seeing what you ' re doing. ■{ 57 Y WE REMEMBER - - - The Patient Who Said: — I just want my teeth cleaned. - — You ' ve been drilling for three hours; why don ' t you pull the tooth out? — All I care about is the white fillings in my front teeth. — It can ' t be a cavity; I had sodium fluoride treatments last year. — I can come in any time, only Saturdays. — Why are you holding your hand up so long? — Do blue collars mean that they are instructors? — Is he an instructor?

P. Foley, faculty advisor, for his guiding hand, and for his never-ending patience and time which perpetuate the Mirror from year to year. Vi Diefenbach, for his invaluable and constant assistance, his ideas, and ahnost all the photography including the processing which consumed many of his clinic and home hours. Bob Jernick, who congenially contributed his unequaled talent to produce the superb art and cartoon work. John Clemson, who adeptly handled the majority of the business matters. George Spiegel, Roy Durocher, Pete Hernandez, John Parent, and Clem Hahn, for their efforts, suggestions, and cooperation. Mr. Love and Mr. Hicks, for their interest, workmanship, and passive resistance to delays. Miss Muhl, Miss Ezekiel, Miss Cross, and Miss Herbert, for their aid. Those students on the staff and those students and persons not on the staff, for being more than willing and helpful in times of need. It is extremely difficult to record in cold type the vital, moving forces that make up a year or years. However, the success of a yearbook stems not so much from what It exhibits in content, but from the spirit contained therein. If this Mirror of 1949 reflects some of the spirit of pleas- ant bygone days and past friendships, then it will have served its purpose. Mitchell J.

Operating equipment so modern it speaks for itself and commands attention and respect. We, and every distributor of S. S.
