THE GRADUATING CLASS Seated: R. Litton (president), M. Volatile (secretary), J. Richmond (vice-president), J. Abbott (treas- urer). Standing: F. White (sergeant- at-arms), E. Maxwell (historian). With graduation day upon us, we look forward to the freedoms of the non-academic world. Such expectations are normal after years of study, but they must not over-shadow the responsibilities which we now face. No professional man ever completes his studies or closes his books ; his quest for knowl- edge never ceases. The real test of our education will not be our state board examinations, but rather our ability to cope with the unknown problems which we shall all encounter. We must be able to apply and amplify our basic knowledge. Consequently, our thinking cannot be stereotyped or channeled; it must be fresh, liberal and challenging. We must question our old beliefs, and if these beliefs cannot bear the chal- lenge, they must fall. As we leave school we take serious thoughts with us. If certain of these are critical, then let us express them as an active alumni group. Let us return to our school with a new spirit to better the financial lot of dental educators, establish research fellowships and endowments, and, most important of all, to express an active interest in the education of the future graduates of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery.

The Honorary Class President r Y Stanley H. Dosh, D. D. S. Associate Professor of Fixed Partial Prosthesis Doctor Stanley H. Dosh has been selected by the Senior Class as its honorary president. Docto r Dosh, whose pleasant manner has made him the good friend of every student who has asked for his advice and assist- ance, graduated from the Dental School in 1935. He served as an instruc- tor in the Department of Crown and Bridge Prosthesis from the year of his graduation until 1942, then accepted the obligation of full-time professor in the department. He is a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon Fraternity, Gorgas Odontological Society and Delta Sigma Delta Fra- ternity. Doctor Dosh is no stranger to the Senior section of the School year- books. He was voted the honorary president by the Class of 1949, and again by the Class of 1953. The Class of 1954 is extremely proud to add its congratulations to those given him in the past. Don ' t let this fool you; they ' re working on Dr. Dosh ' s tweeter. It ' s probably an aerial view of Rhode Island.
