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. Honorary Class President A 15 f
