THE DENTAL HYGIENE DEPARTMENT of Central Piedmont Community College Charlotte, N. C. An Outstretched Hand Each of us wasmkle by God and some of us grew tall. Others stood out in the wind their branches bent and fell. Those of us who walk in light Jr must help the ones in darkness up. For that’s what life is all about and love is all there is to life. Each of us was made by God beautiful in His mind’s eye. Those of us that turned out sound should look across our shoulders once and help the weak ones to their feet. It only takes an outstretched hand. I —RODMcKUEN Dedication Mr. James E. Hall “In all the world there’s only one” . . . he’s our NUMBER ONE! Love, The Class of’72 3 Special Appreciation To Mrs. Carma Pressley and Mrs. Marilynn Hodges The seniors and freshmen owe Mrs. Carma Pressley and Mrs. Marilynn Hodges a big vote of thanks for the additional help they have gladly given during their clinical, classroom, and spare time. We will always remember them as two dedicated individuals whose ad- vice we respected highly. A fond farewell to you both from all of us. H - Dr. Harry Snyder Head of Department In 1934, Dr. Harry G. Snyder graduated from Washington University in St. Louis. From 1934-42, he worked in private practice. Fort Logan, Denver was the first base Dr. Snyder was stationed. After starting his military career in 1942, he took a post- graduate course and acted as assistant professor at New York University from 1950-52. Fort Belvoir in Virginia was the last place he was stationed. In July of 1966, as a retired military colonel, Dr. Harry G. Snyder assumed the position of head of the Dental Hygiene department.

Seniors Prepare For Their Future “PURPOSE” Not for the sake of the gold, Not for the sake of the fame, Not for the prize would I hold Any ambition or aim: I would be brave and be true Just for the good 1 can do. I would be useful on earth, Serving some purpose or cause, Doing some labor of worth, Giving no thought to applause. Thinking less of the gold or the fame Than the joy and the thrill of the game. Medals their brightness may lose, Fame be forgotten or fade, Any reward we may choose Leaves the account still unpaid. But little real happiness lies In fighting alone for a prize. Give me the thrill of the task, The joy of the battle and strife, Of being of use, and I’ll ask No greater reward from this life. Better than fame or applause Is striving to further a cause. Edgar A.

We were welcomed as “little sisters” by the seniors and felt honored by the picnic they gave for us. With the election of class officers—Bev Barringer, president; Lynn Trawick, vice president; Megan Knox, secretary; Marjorie Hassett, corresponding secretary; Anne Burns, treasurer—we actively began to organize our efforts and function as a class. Our historians, Nancy Darling and Wanda Patterson, were appointed and com- mittees were formed. The Purple Lunch Box proved to be a successful project for the class. And who could forget the time we sold Krispy Kreme doughnuts? We learned to work and play together; each experience drew us closer as a family. Fall and Winter passed. With the arrival of Spring, we began to anticipate a great change in our lives. We busily prepared to “surprise” the seniors with lilac banded caps at the picnic we planned for them. As a special token of friendship and appreciation, we decoupaged plaques for each of our big sisters. Trudie Albaugh was the repre- sentative of our class as Marshal at the seniors’ pinning. The Highlight of Spring Quarter was our own capping ceremony. We were no longer freshmen—it was a great step forward. We happily elected our senior class officers—Liz Gun- ter, president; Trudie Albaugh, vice president; Doris Konicki, secretary; Marjorie Hassett, corresponding sec- retary; and Susan Graham, treasurer. They also served as our officers in the CPCC Chapter of the Junior American Dental Hygienists Association. Summer quarter passed quickly in a flurry of note- books, x-rays, plasters, and patients. We were halfway there! It was a transitional period between little and big sisterhood . . . and we anxiously awaited the arrival of a new class of freshmen. In Seven Quarters We began our second year with a “Welcome Fresh- men” party-complete with entertainment: our skits! Fall quarter not only brought our “little sisters,” but also II3’s, the V.A. Hospital at Salisbury, posters, and serious talk of National Boards. Selling stationery and fruitcakes were relatively painless yet worthwhile proj- ects. With the approach of Christmas, we sponsored a party for underprivileged children at the Dalton Day Care Center ... it was a truly rewarding experience. The Christmas party we gave for our faculty was enjoyed by all. All too soon, we were deep into our 6th quarter. Time was beginning to fly. Teaching Dental Health Ed- ucation in the schools was an important and memorable phase of our training. Studying for National Boards became our major pastime. Once again, Spring was a welcomed change. With it came the relief that National Boards were behind us. Pinehurst was an educational and enjoyable experience for us. We were delighted when our little sisters pre- sented us our caps with the lilac bands. On June 4, 1972, we received our Dental Hygiene Pins and Certificates. With the approach of State Boards, we realized that we would soon be going our separate ways. For two years, we had grown to laugh together, and cry together . . . but it had been such a short time. The tears and triumphs we experienced helped to prepare us for our roles after graduation. In June of 1972, we eagerly took our places as members of the Dental Hygiene Profession. We’ll always remember our days at Central Piedmont with deepest appreciation. We weren’t the first class, nor the last, but we were unique; for it was us. IINISTRAT 37 We enter with time. Seventy some souls each living a segment of life. We progress alone and with each other. We add several blocks to the structure we call ourselves. We add blocks of hope, we add blocks of joy, each an experience, each a time—though the same, vastly dif- ferent. Time passes—the structure grows—the segment dies. We pass on—some to college, some to work-all pursuing life, all grow- ing, all building, but the founda- tion we have built remains. A foundation that is to be relived in the folds of a dream. For this time is gone—never to return—but never forgotten. ODONTOS ’72 The publication of ODONTOS ’72 could not have been possible without the interest and cooperation of many fine people.
