ADOLPH BENEDICT CARREIRO Even though Al spends many hours assisting Dr. Lucca in addition to his time on the clinic floor, he has managed to remain one of the most active members of the Senior Class. A B.S. from Providence College and an M.S. from the University of Kentucky, plus work with the Medical Department of the U. S. Army pre- pared Al well for his tenure at Columbia. Besides fulfilling his requirements with the greatest of ease, Al has given much of his time to the Student Council as Secretary in 1952-53, to the William Jarvie Society as Secretary in 1953-54, and to Psi Omega as Social Chairman. Al and Jane have recently become the parents of a baby boy, Joel Robert. Following gradua- tion Al goes into private practice as the first dentist to pratice in Portsmouth, R. I. JAMES A. CHICHETTI There has been speculation as to how, after working up four comprehensive patients and losing each one, Jim can sigh, crack a joke and start on the fifth. Rumor has it that he practices post-hypnotic suggestion in a mirror to help himself forget (he learned hypnosis as a junior interne at Letchworth Village last summer). Another explanation could be that since he is one of our most facile operators he will turn out a glittering case in May no matter when he starts. After serving with the Air Force in the European Theatre, Jim attended St. John ' s University, graduated with a B.S. magna cum laude, and was awarded a War Service Scholar- ship. Jim is a Jarvie member, has held the office of Chaplain in Psi Omega, ' and is Secretary- Treasurer of the Senior Class. Wife Norma and he have one child. The future holds either a residency at Letchworth Village or private practice.

LIONEL ABZUG Whenever you look at this yearbook just think of Ab, who has been carefully catching us off guard for six months, snapping, develop- ing and editing pictures. Our thanks go to him as Chief Photographer and Managing Editor of this yearbook. Member of Alpha Omega Fraternity, Student Council for two years, and the William Jarvie Honor Society, Lionel is also a winner of the New York State Profes- sional Scholarship. His knowledge of music and drama has added the class to our heterogeneous crew. Using the magic of his articulateness to clear the haze surrounding us during lectures, Lionel frequently managed to come up with just the explanation needed to banish our confusion. His summers have been spent doing research with Dr. Levy and acquir- ing stories for us in Europe. Future plans con- sist of internship, service, and private practice. MORREY BERKWITZ Four years of dental school have not tar- nished Morrey ' s good humor, nor has absence from his native Boston rounded his New Eng- land a. Comino to Columbia with a B.S. o degree from Northeastern University, Morrey proved his mettle by doing laboratory work for two in Biochemistry and Bacteriology and by keeping an auxiliary supply depot for lockers 27, 29, and 30. Alpha Omega recognized his qualities by electing him Vice-President, and he has long been a favorite of the nursing staff at Psychiatric Institute, where he supervises patient activities after school hours. Last sum- mer was spent in a junior internship at St. Lawrence State Hospital. A Navy Dental Corps commission awaits him on graduation, while future plans call for a private practice in Mas- sachusetts.

HARVEY B. CORNELL A firm believer in doing things on-the- double, Harvey possesses an endless amount of energy and drive. Coming to us by way of Canisius College, he has been a member of Alpha Omega. During the war, Harvey was with the Naval Air Corps and saw service in the Pacific Theatre. He is the holder of a War State Scholarship. Not confining his restless spirit to dentistry alone, Harvey has managed to engage in various gainful activities outside of school. He has worked as a policeman in Tallman Mt. State Park during the summers, and he serves as a Councilman at Shanks Vil- lage, where he lives with wife Sybil and daugh- ter Sharon Linda. For the future, Harvey plans either to enter state service, or to set up a pri- vate practice in Rochester, N. Y. - JT GEORGE MAC DONALD COULTER Waxing up ear-to-ear splints or shoed cusp inlays, soft-spoken George can always be found working to the late hours of the evening in his extracurricular capacity as assistant to Dr. Cain. George is truly Psi Omega Fraternity ' s gift to the Class of 1954. Senator during his sopho- more year, Junior Grandmaster and Senior Grandmaster, George has climbed the ladder of success and led Psi Omega in a commendable fashion. A recipient of an A.B. degree at Bard College, George came ready and eager to work at Columbia University. During the past year George has received a Dean ' s Scholarship. Last summer George was fortunate enough to spend his time working for Dr. Cain. Future plans consist of possible United States Naval duty, and subsequent to that a private practice.
