II 1 1 1 VV. HiHIM 1 ' . Bill came to us in the Freshman year as the only m.in with two children. Suzanne is now 8 and Sheila is ti and Bill and Ann are justifiably proud of their beautiful blonde daughters. Incidentally, while Bill is bus) ai school. Ann has found time, besides caring for the two girls, to run a disk-jockey show- on a local (Jtica, V Y. radio station. Bill got his undergraduate education at Colgate and of course had to go on to dental school because all readers of the Re . . . r ' s Di . . st know that Colgate reduces tooth decay. During the war. Bill served as an Army Air Corps pilot flying twenty five missions in the ETO. At school he has ablv represented our class on the Student Council through the freshman. sophomore, junior, and senior years, and served as its secretary in his junior year. He is also a member in good standing in the William Jarvie Society and in Psi Omega. He plans to rejoin the Air Force as a dental officer following graduation. • ' • ■ ■ . PHILIP KUTNER Phil ' s forte is making models. There is little else that gives him the exquisite pleasure of a model well made. For Phil, the model is God, and dupli- cating colloid its Prophet. Another outstanding quality of the man is his unexcelled popularity at exam time. Phil received his B.S. from C.C.N. Y. in 1944. and entered the field of petroleum chem- istry. His job sent him to Lake Charles, Louisiana with his brand new wife, Eth. During the war the chemist was converted to an infantrv T Sgt and Phil served in the Philippine Campaign and later in Japan with the 25th Division. Phil has served the class well as Secretary during the sophomore, junior, and senior years. He has been a member of the William Jarvie Society and this year ablv served as Secretary of that organization. Phil had a junior internship at Creedmore State Hospital last summer and liked it so well that he plans to return at least for a short time after graduation.

ROBERT D. GREENIER Bob is one of a tightly knit group in class who are known collectively as the Shankers because thev commute daily to and from their respective domiciles in Camp Shanks. Bob came to us from Fordham University where he received his B.S. in 1 94 1. From Fordham he went into the Navy Air Corps and earned two full stripes as a pilot of PBlMs and PBYs, and saw service in the Pacific Theater around Hawaii and the Aleutians. Inci- dentally, Bob ' s charming wife, Elaine, is an R.N. and has been employed in a dental office, so Bob shouldn ' t have any assistant problem when he goes into private practice in Bloomingdale, New York after graduation. Bob enjoyed the benefits of a summer junior internship at Rockland State Hos- pital. He has been a member in good standing of Psi Omega fraternity. f ■ EDWARD MITCHELL GRIFFIN Eddy hopes to be the dentally distinguished son of a dentally distinguished father, since his father is a noted orthodontist of Manhattan and Brooklyn, New York.

Previous to that, he served as a Naval officer in a mine disposal unit and reached the grade of Lieutenant Cj-g.)- Ed ably served us as class Secretary during the freshman year and is a member in good standing of Psi Omega fraternity.

STANLEY E. MACHENBERG Stanley got his B.S. from the University of Connecticut in 1943 and thence to the Armv Medi- cal Department. Stan was one of the few sea-going soldiers for he served as a corpsman on a hospital ship. It seems that he not onlv had his hacks and forths, but I ' m told he had his ups and downs on that ship too . . . some story about painting stair- cases, but the details are rather vague. After the sailor in khaki had done with the ETO and the MTO, he took Gloria to Florida to seek his fortune in the Palm Beach and Miami area. Fortune was not to be found under the Florida sun, but this enterprising young man did find time to take several courses in the U. of Florida to help him along on his dental career. While in school, he has found time to engage in research related to bio- chemistry and dentistrv. At present. Stan is unde- cided about his future plans but it can be assumed that whatever he decides to do, he will do it both well and in Connecticut. A EMIL ANTHONY MELLOW Emil entered the army as a private in 1940 and left it as a captain five vears later. In those five vears, Emil passed through each succeeding grade, and served in a variety of army corps, all the way from infantry, through medical, and finally in the Air Force. During the war he served as a navigator with what he modestly describes as the 14th Air Force but which we know bv its more famous title of the Flying Tigers under Gen. Chennault. In the summer of 1947, Emil married Inez and com- pleted his honeymoon on the steps of Columbia Dent when he registered for the freshman year. They are now the parents of a boy and a girl. The circumstances of the birth of the son will not soon be forgotten. Emil had not one. but two obstetri- cians engaged, but being a man who likes to do things himself, Emil successfully delivered his first- born all bv himself. In school. Emil is a member in good standing in the William Jarvie Society and Psi Omega. He received his predental education at Scranton College. Following graduation, he plans to rejoin the Air Force as a first lieutenant.
