We found that our studies and efforts as freshmen were an investment toward the success of our three final trimesters of instruction. More was required of us than just the completion of 80 oral prophylaxes, 20 fluorides and 25 sets of X-rays. Using the anatomy and microbiology we had learned the year before, we delved into physiology and pathology. Then came the study of pharmacology and dental materials. We began to see the relationship between cause and effect, the theory and practice of the care that bridges the gap between disease and health. And as we increased in our knowledge, we received one by one the signs of our profession. First the cap, then the pin—and finally the purple ribbon was presented by our little sisters at the banquet. But the fact that we were seniors, striving to achieve professional status, did not stop us from challenging our little sisters, the Baylor Burrs, and finally the Baylor Graders in basketball. And with a little luck and a lot of help from the referees, we, the Baylor Scalers, rose victorious. But our achievement as a class went beyond athletics. We joined in mutual congratulations at the banquet given for us by the freshmen when we learned that we all passed the National Board with a class average of 87. The end of our last year of formal education will not be an end to our learning. For if we remember nothing else, we will remember that Baylor taught us to live as students of our profession always. 148
