Get on the good side of Dr. Mac Boyle-he has one. Always apply the rubber dam before making another ap- pointment with your patient. Whenever you see an amalgam filling take it out and in- sert gold. Don't let your patient know how little you know. Use the same piece of rubber dam at least on three different patients, it saves time in cutting holes. Don't get a big head. Remember what a mighty class preceeds you. Never be considerate to a freshman unless you want some work done. Never buy a text book. You won't need it. Use the library. Join the Y.M.C.A. if you can find it. Bruce Adams

Sitting down to write this brief biography brings back some thoughts from the first year of dental school. When we were told that year that this would be the fastest four years of our lives I just couldn't believe it. But now as a senior l realize how true this statement was. Learning the basic medical sciences the first two years did not leave much time for anything other than study. Much was learned, but unfortunately, too much was forgotten mainly because of lack of clinical correlation of these dis- ciplines. For example, in order to correlate pharmacol- ogy, we should have been exposed to much more anes- thesia experience which is very important to us as den- tists. The current dental clinical training is much too standardized and rigid. Through elective clinical areas more emphasis should be placed on learning and motiva- tion and less on doing procedures with little academic value. l plan after graduation to continue in the specialty of oral surgery. I will be taking my internship and residency at Cook County Hospital. The reason l picked the spe- cialty of oral surgery is because I feel this is the only specialty in which the highly sophisticated biological and scientific training that we have acquired in the last four years can be more practically applied, and the capabi- lities of my degree will be used more efficient and more often, as a doctor of dental surgery.
