ODONTOS THE DENTAL HYGIENE DEPARTMENT OF Central Piedmont Community College Charlotte, N. C. 1 9 7 3 IF If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you. But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting. Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies. Or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream-and not make dreams your master If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools: If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to the: ‘Hold on!’ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it, And-which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son! —Rudyard Kipling DEDICATION Mrs. Marilyn Armstrong, R. D. H. You are the one Who showed understanding at the beginning Who gave us encouragement when the road was rough And a smile to brighten the way. 3 Harry G. Snyder, D. D. S. Dr. Harry G. Snyder, a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, is the chief of Dental Hygiene.

We must know the anatomy of our teeth; therefore, we have to draw and carve in the fall and winter quarters. This is a neces- sary evil we all must face. 26 Even though 1971 was coming to an end, as future se- niors of 73, we were only at the beginning of our long journey through dental hygiene. Anne, Joyce, Cathy and Jackie acted as our leaders and guided us through bake sales, car washes, and selling stationery. As freshmen we eagerly awaited the time when we would wear a white uniform, a cap, and a pin. But as we became aware of what the dental hygiene curriculum en- compassed we realized that our dreams would not be- come realities as easily as wishes are granted from an Aladdin’s lamp. Winter 1972 brought us halfway through carving, karate and chemistry lab and the arrival of Mrs. Armstrong. With the coming of Spring also came our first patient. We launched HMS purple and white for our big sisters’ bon voyage party and surprised them with caps already bear- ing the purple ribbon, and a jewel box for their pins. At least our dreams were slowly becoming realities as capping changed us from freshmen to seniors. We said goodbye to Mrs. Hodges and Mrs. Pressley and welcomed Mrs. Hayes and summer quarter. 29 This was the time of study models, X-rays, and getting to know the fun and friendly side of Dr. Snyder. Just in time for our first practical came Mrs. Shoe- maker. As the leaves began to turn we became aware that we were halfway through. In Oc- tober, we began going to Salisbury, making posters, and teaching plaque control. 30 Giving the Dalton Day Care Center a party and playing Santa Claus to the faculty helped give us the Christmas spirit. Between the snow, going to schools and seminars, we managed to study for National Boards. The months became weeks, and the weeks became days, and suddenly March 26th was upon us. Spring was with us again and we gave way to spring fever. All too soon, State Boards were upon us. As we all took various State Boards we realized we would soon be leaving irre- placeable and unforgettable friends and memories. Our formal training was coming to an end, but we were only beginning our profession as dental hygienists. Our little sisters surprised us with our caps bearing the purple ribbons. And on June 3, 1973 we received our pins and Dental Hy- giene certificates. 31 As we look back upon our days at Central Piedmont we recall that the road of learning was rough and the hours were long. Without the patience, dedication and guidance of our instructors, parents, and as- sociates none of our dreams would have come true. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS !
