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

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-

PAUL ARSLAN Paul, with his Charles Boyer accent, should be quite popular with his female patients. How- ever, this is to notify all enterprising females that Paul is happily married to a very pretty and charming lady. Before coming to New York, Paul spent considerable time studying in France. He arrived at Columbia with an A.B. from New York University and has managed to keep quite busy, belonging to Jarvie, Dental Abstracts and serving as class vice president in the freshman year. Being a bridge fiend, Paul holds weekly sessions at his home at which he manages to trim many unsuspecting victims. He also plays chess with great zeal, and carries a miniature chess set around with him so that if he can ' t get enough people together for bridge, he can always find someone to play chess with. Paul plans to move out west and practice in California. GABRIEL IRVING AUERBACH If some of the lower classmen happen to be passing by the senior lockers someday and hear a barrage of French being spoken, this is to in- form them that it is not a new student from France but Monsieur Gaby. Having spent a portion of last summer in France, Gabe now qualifies as our class expert on French styles, customs, and language. He hails from Spring- field, Mass. and before entering these sacred halls, received a B.S. degree from the Univer- sity of Massachusetts. Gabe is a member of Jarvie and Dental Abstracts. After graduation, he plans to practice with his brother in Massa- chusetts. 24
