When September arrived, the Class of ’64 had 39 returning seniors. Not being allowed to waste a minute, they plunged into clinic duties throughout the school. They hoped that all the difficult classes were in the past, but dis- covered a full schedule of clinic gave them little of the anticipated free time. During the first week of school the class welcomed the new freshmen with a Jr. ADHA coke party. It seemed no time at all before the end of the first trimester and the capping ceremony which marked the achievement of the first big goal. It was then Christmas and the annual DH dance was combined with a supper at the Executive Inn. Our true Christmas spirit was shown by the caroling at the Young Home for the Aged. The new year began with the threat of National Board Exams. The beautiful snowfall of winter, Easter time . . . and then the boards. The burning of the midnight oil was well spent as everyone passed. One of the highlights of the year was the banquet given by the freshmen. At last the purple ribbons were re- ceived. Another activity this year was participating in the annual senior skit of the Dental College. After finals and requirements were completed, all students and their dates relaxed at the “Senior Farm Party.” White Rock Lake was the scene of the Jr. ADHA picnic where each enjoyed baseball and horseback riding. Graduation and the awards luncheon came. Each girl walked across the stage to receive her pin and certificate. It was indeed a wonderful feeling . . . at last to be a registered dental hygienist.
