The Mirror extends congratulations to Dr. Joseph C. Biddix, Jr., upon his election as Honorary President of the Class of 19)2. Dr. Biddix was grad- uated from the B.C.D.S. in 19} 4 and is now Professor of Oral Diagnosis. Joseph C. Biddix, Jr., D.D.S. Honorary Class President returned to school feeling that ( 1 ) they knew a little more about technical proce- dures, and (2) they would soon be receiving toothbrushes through the mail. As the year progressed, more and more of our members succumbed to the siren lure of the wedding march. Bachelors became as scarce as hen ' s teetlr and cigar bands became as prevalent as wedding bands. This was a year of firsts. Freshmen no longer carved ivorine teeth; the unwritten law of bumping became a written one; Dr. Gaver and Dr. Nuttall no longer had their office in the center of a thoroughfare; Prosthetics now had fluorescent lighting; and a new public address system was installed. Our individual plans for the future are varied. Some will return to their native states and countries to establish practices. Others will accept dental internships. It is likely that many will go into the service. But whatever our courses of action, each of us looks forward to the ensuing years with an earnest desire always to be a credit to our School and to our profession. Dean H. Hausrath, Historian 1 M. W.

The collars now fitted snugly around our necks and the Midas touch of time seemed to have etched an extra glitter into the yellow threads of our embroidered names. It was great to be a senior! But we were soon to learn that our gasconade was soluble in gas. Senior require- ments dwarfed the junior quotas as a megakaryocyte would a chylomicron 1 . However, we diligently set our noses and stone models to the grindstone and flipped the switch. The American Dental Association convention in Washington, held in October, was one of the highlights of the year. But some iconoclastic demonstrators left many of us puzzled. The man who told us that there was no need to incorporate the compen- sating curve into our dentures would have had better luck in trying to convince a four-year-old that there is no Santa Claus.
