IRWIN HOWARD AUSLANDER The freshman year was quite momentous for us because that was when we met Doctor Buccinator. Little did Bux realize, when he completed his pre-dental training at New York University, that a facial muscle would play such an important role in his life. Bux is a very versatile person; he is a proficient bridge and pinochle player, and his favorite hobby is set- ting up teeth. He is a member of Alpha Omega and it is rumored that he made a contribution to Dental Abstracts. When Bux finally finishes the grind at ye olde dental school, he hopes to intern and eventually practice in Brooklyn. HAROLD DAVID BAURMASH Harold is the only one in the class who does not walk to the clinic floor — he bounces on. Rubber legs Hal got that way from plugging gold foils. Hal is a member of Jarvie, Alpha Omega, and is on the staff of the Dental Co- lumbian. He received his B.S. degree from New York University. Baumsquash is an ac- complished cartoonist. In the first two years, there used to be quite a battle as to who would sit next to this versatile gentleman. His carica- tures of the lecturers helped immensely to keep us awake. Another noteworthy characteristic of Harold ' s makeup is his ties. His cravats are by far the most unusual creations since the House articulator. An internship at City Hospital will take care of his immediate future. 25

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

LUIS BLANCO-DALMAU When it was discovered that Luis had a fluent knowledge of the Spanish language, every Spanish patient that came into the clinic was referred to him, either for treatment, or trans- lations, or both. To add to his woes, the Ab- stracts Society decided that it would be a good idea to have translations of some of the Latin dental journals, so Luis became the recipient of as many of these as the Abstracts Society could find. In addition to his work with Abstracts, Luis is also a member of Jarvie and the Dental Columbian. He has recently become engaged, and upon graduation, he intends to marry and intern iri Puerto Rico. JOHN MARK BLUGERMAN John is o ne of the less noisy members of our class (especially when coming to lecture ten minutes late). He has spent a considerable amount of time with Columbia University, hav- ing received an A.B. degree from Columbia College. He is a member of Jarvie and has con- tributed numerous articles to Abstracts. John is a lover of good music and spends a large por- tion of his spare time attending concerts and recitals. His future plans include an internship and later a private practice. 26
