And Big Hank beating off all his women with a club. Oh well, everyone dreams as he pleases. Remember the supra-labial fuzz on Arslan. Goldwasser, Baurmash and Shapiro. They say that Goldwasser transplanted it from the top of his head. Joe argues that at birth he had even less hair, which is one way to look at it. Who will ever forget Nick Cava ' s actions when his patient swallowed a crown? First he screamed for an emetic, then a cathartic. Finally he demanded surgery after holding her upside down by the ankles and pounding her head against the clinic floor had failed. Oh well, every- thing came out for the best. Wha happa? Leo Kantorowitz (he ' s a sure one) and his buddy Mel Klickstein for four years displayed what the well dressed man should wear (while he ' s working in the garden). Someone should tell Mel that the stuff on top of his head should be combed. Thev say that Professor Eli Stern is work-

President— RUDOLPH V. PINO Vice President— LIONEL E. REBHUN Secretary-Treasurer— MICHAEL |. DEREYLANY 1948 Upper classmen continually told us that the junior year would be a pleasure in all respects. What a life! Many of us, however, were soon downtrodden with the intoxication of the paradise that this pleasure brought. In fact, we wished we had taken the advice of Lingusius Ratchet, an- cient prophet and artiste, a little pleasure is a dangerous thing. Besides assuming the dignity of distinguished clinicians, we kept trying to open the door on die secrets of diagnosis and we found out how efficacious sex hormones really are. Through the turmoil on any typical day at about 4:30, we could discern through the mad scramble the following: Big Hank hurrying to the convention at the T. G.; Art rigorously cam- paigning unassumingly for the following year ' s elections; or Korney sniffing around for some talent for his private programs. The end of the third trimester brought exams with each man looking to Nick for the moral encouragement which made the ordeal easier. I shall always remember Nick ' s disciple, the old prophet Cacciola and his assistance in spreading the Gospel. Senior year meant hard work and little pleasure and we were all resigned to the grind of 18 units of C. B. Comprehensive cases were compared and everybody else ' s was a shoor ceench. Everyone worked hard, some for grades and the top positions in the class. But it was always diffi- cult to discern who the A men really were. Discussions could be heard, behind the lockers, on the psychological sequelae of the towel treat- ment. The years through Columbia were tough but, I believe that here we were formed, both as dentists and as men. We can look back on the happiest and most worthwhile years of our lives. Harold R. Englander

ing on a new technique for mixing plaster. The water is measured with a buret and its temperature controlled by means of a thermostat to within .OOOOOrC. The plaster is weighed with a milli- gram scale to the correct proportion. The spatula is used in a circular motion, 35 4 times. 36 times would ruin the mix by causing expansion in set- ting. This procedure must be carried out in a room where the temperature and humidity are con- trolled accurately. While mixing, the operator must stop breathing because the exhaled CO- ' hastens the set. They say that Artie Zinn is attending our school to practice politics in order to run for Governor of California in the near future. We can say that he has mastered the methods. It is true that Maillard, using a brand new scalpel, needed two weeks to cut through Scarpa ' s fascia on his cadaver. He must have been counting the cells. Oh Mona! That streak that just went past us was Don Disick. He hasn ' t stopped moving since 1944. Facts prove that Pino and Lazoft weigh more than Scrivani, Mand, Delasho, Fenning, Haufe, Arslan and two x-ray machines all combined. Also, Prince is taller than Fennins standing on his James Delasho Til ride, ' em ■myself Hurx. , Jr er ' - „ o -)v£k to me 77 G. f k i- codple. of se£ ?s
