The Dentist, like all members of society, is guided in his endeavors by the usual obligations to himself, his family and mankind. But, because he has been awarded, through specialized study, the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery, certain further obligations are imposed upon him. He is in a position to diagnose and treat specific diseases which are outside the realm of every other branch of the medical sciences. Since he has the duty to care for these problems, he must provide himself with knowledge and skill concomitant with the best that Dentistry can offer at any particular moment. The advances in research, these new machines, these new methods, are the fruits of the labors of men dedicated to the alleviation and ultimate eradication of disease. This is the end to which they should be applied. The Dentist must take cognizance of these findings and use them, not for excessive financial gain, but for the benefit of his patients. This is the ideal to which we of the Class of 1957 now dedicate ourselves. unish-bom Andre Uiant 1543 treatise on anatomy, I)e humani corporis fabrica.

Clinician Educator Friend Dedication Devoted to his family, devoted to his students, devoted to his profession ... an unselfish man. We, the senior class, in deep appreciation, honor Dr. John J. Lucca with the dedication of the 1957 Dental Columbian. An outstanding member of the profession, Dr. Lucca is a Diplomate of the American Board of Prosthodontists, a member of the American Dental Society, the youngest associate member of the Greater New York Academy of Prosthodontics, a prosthetic consultant to the Veterans Administration and the U. S. Public Health Service, a member of the teaching staff of the First District Dental Society and a member of the Bergen County Dental Society. Dr. Lucca was born in 1921 and graduated from Columbia University, School of Dental and Oral Surgery in 1947. While a student, he was elected to the William Jarvie Society and became a member of Psi Omega Fraternity. He is now Assistant Executive Councilor of Psi Omega. He and his wife, Mary Ann, were married in 1946. After graduation, he remained at Columbia in a research capacity for two years through a Stern grant conducting research on precision attachments. Upon completion of this work, he then went on the full-time teaching staff and has been an assistant professor since 1952. Since this time, Dr. Lucca has been giving an ever increasing number of lectures, clinics and courses and will be a member of the group who will lecture at t he International Dental Congress in Rome this coming August. This year, Dr. Lucca is celebrating his tenth anniversary as a dentist. The past ten years have been fruitful ones for the Luccas. They attribute their success and good luck to having four daughters (Diane, Eileen, Denise and Nancy). We, the senior class, feel certain Dr. Lucca will continue to grow in professional stature in the years to come. Faster than a speeding bullet Lucca ' s corner Family portrait Bdwwistration GILBERT P. SMITH, D.D.S. Associate Dean of the Faculty of Medicine for Dental and Oral Surgery Executive Officer, Department of Dentistry Professor of Dentistry Congratulations to the Class of 1957 upon successful completion of the course of study in Dentistry. It has been a long, difficult and, we trus t, a worthwhile experience. Columbia, as in all fields, has endeavoured to establish an excellence in dental education of which she and you can be proud. In you is embodied the measure of her success. Beginning with the biological sciences you have been given a broad base upon which to build professional experience. A sound train- ing in the techniques of restorative dentistry prepared you for early clinical activities. The biological sciences were integrated and cor- related with the clinical aspects of dentistry giving you an appreciation of the relation of the oral cavity to the human body in its en- tirety. Training in the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases, the preservation of oral tissues and in the preventive phases of dental treatment have given you the means of meet- ing the responsibility of a practitioner of an important health service. This foundation in the biological sciences and in clinical dentistry represented by the four years of training that you have completed is only a beginning to the career that you have selected. To continue to meet your obligations to mankind you must keep abreast of develop- ments in your chosen field. Dentistry is enter- ing upon an era of intensive research and this seeking of scientific truths will add greatly to the profession ' s knowledge. It will be incum- bent upon you to assimilate these findings and put them to practical clinical use. Your in- terest should be broad, thus keeping you informed on all phases of dentistry. Giving of his knowledge Sincere norker o ur prayer that God may look with favor upon his future efforts goes to Gilbert P. Smith, D.D.S. Associate Dean Smith has in the past shown him- self to be an outstanding clinician, a devoted edu- cator and a respected leader in the dental profession. But, more than this, he is a sincere man who asks for no more than he himself is willing to give. GRAYSON KIRK, Ph.D., LL.D. President of the University It will be impossible to be eminently quali- fied in all facets of the profession. You will develop special interests in limited areas and you should pursue them with vigor and zeal. Preventive dentistry should be your primary objective even though much of your effort will be directed toward treatment in a particu- lar field. Your education should be continued by keeping abreast of current developments through the literature, attendance at meetings, lectures, special courses, service in hospitals, clinics and other institutions. Participation in professional and community activities is a prime obligation. The real yardstick of your professional achievement will be your con- tribution to research and dental literature. It is with firm confidence that the faculty wishes the Class of 1957 Godspeed on a long and useful career knowing full well that you will meet squarely the obligation that the public, the profession and Columbia have en- trusted in you. Dr. Gilbert P. Smith WILLARD COLE RAPPLEYE, M.D., A.M., ScD., Med.Sc.D. Vice-President in Charge of Medical Affairs Dean of the Faculty of Medicine Dr. Maurice J. Hickey devoted over eleven years to Columbia University. He was made Professor of Oral Surgery in 1945 and Associate Dean of the Faculty of Medicine for Dental and Oral Surgerv three years later. He held this position until October 31. 1956 fulfilling the duties of his office with exactness and integrity. e. his former students, are certain Dr. Hickey will bring dignity to the office of Dean of the School of Dentistry. University of Washinaton. LEWIS R. STOWE, D.D.S. Professor of Dentistry Director, Division of Stomatology Oral Diagnosis STOMA EDWARD V. ZEGARELLI, A.B., D.D.S., M.S. Associate Professor of Dentistry Acting Director, Division of Stomatol- ogy No one would disagree with the statement that accurate diagnosis is the essential prerequisite to successful therapy, but many will disagree on the meaning of diagnosis. Some will define it as the ability to recognize the existence of an abnormality — a departure from normal. Others look upon diagnosis as the skill of an individual in identifying an abnormality. Neither definition, however, completely satisfies the implications of diagnosis if we are to adhere to the principle that accurate diagnosis must precede successful therapy. A child possesses the ability of recognizing the existence of an abnormality when confronted with a person whose facial contours are asymmetrically enlarged. But he would hardly be expected to ap- preciate the nature of the many disease entities which this abnormality might suggest. Identification of an abnormality also falls far short of accurately defining diagnosis. The simple process of identifying by name a disease state on the basis of its overt clinical signs hardly fulfills the meaning of diagnosis. To adopt this approach to diagnosis is similar to the belief that recognizing or identifying an individual by name signifies that you knoiv that person. Identification of a person hardly means that you are familiar with his character, his emotional status, his tastes and distastes, his feelings and attitudes. Similarly, in respect to diagnosis — diagnosis is more than recognition of the existence of an abnor- mality — diagnosis is more than identification of a diseased state — diagnosis is knowing the abnormal- ity thoroughly and intimately. Diagnosis is knowing the cause of disease; diagnosis is knowing its histo- genesis, its clinical signs and symptoms, its histology and roentgenology, its effects on the various body systems and its prognosis. Not only will the prob- lem of diagnosing a disease become simplified but, following this philosophy of diagnosis, scientific and accurate therapy is almost certainly assured.

D.D.S. rOLOGY Pmodontology The modern professional man, whether in den- tistry or medicine, is respected by the general public and his patients because they are cognizant of the many years of arduous study necessary to attain the high quality of his specialized knowledge. Upon graduation the present trend for the major- ity of dentists will be to enter either private practice or the armed forces. This necessitates the making of decisions for their patients without guidance or su- pervision by instructors. The recent graduate is well equipped to diagnose, plan and prescribe treatment for many dental disorders, because he has been in- structed in the fundamentals of the art and science of dentistry. However, there will be sufficient num- ber of complicated periodontal and occlusal prob- lems which would unduly burden the recent gradu- ate if he attempted therapy without advanced train- ing. All dentists should continue their studies shortly after receiving their dental degree. This is the ideal time, since they are accustomed to study and geared for learning. Furthermore, it is the professional re- FRANK E. BEUBE, L.D.S., D.D.S. Clinical Professor of Dentistry sponsibility of every dentist to constantly enlarge the scope of his dental knowledge in order to adequately minister to his patients. Periodontal diseases and dental caries are the most common dental abnormalities and will con- stantly require the dentist ' s attention. Periodontal disturbances rank first as the cause of edentulous mouths. It is paramount, therefore, if dentists wish to prevent the loss of their patients ' teeth and suc- cessfully treat the varied periodontal lesions, that they broaden the basic education received at dental school by continuing their studies in periodontology through adequate reading and from postgraduate courses.

Professor of Dentistry OPERATIVE DENTISTRY Improvements in technique and materials used for impressioning prepared cavities for the reception of cast gold inlays have been a boon to dentistry. It is now possible to carry out the restoration for a tooth or a number of teeth with prepared cavities on a model outside the mouth, returning the finished restorations to the teeth, with a good assurance that the restorations will fit and that contour and contact will be just right. This has become possible because of the development of the hydrocolloid materials, the rubber base materials, the silicone gel and, in some instances, the alginates. They all offer a high degree of accuracy. Cutting of the teeth is possible with a greater de- gree of comfort to the patient and less strain on the dentist by use of several new methods. Firstly, by the use of increased speed of rotation of our present rotary instruments, a spray of water being played upon the tooth being cut to prevent abrupt tempera- ture rise and consequent pain. Speeds from 20,000 to 175,000 r.p.m. reduce tooth structure rapidly and with a minimum of trauma. The air turbine for pro- ducing rotary motion to the bur or disc is being tried as is the water turbine. With these methods, a stream of air or water strikes the blades of a small turbine situated in the head of the handpiece. Speeds up to 50.000 r.p.m. with a minimum of torque can be obtained in the bur or cutting tool by this means. The most revolutionary and probably the best of all the new methods is the ultrasonic dental unit which converts electrical energy into mechanical en- ergy in the form of 29,000 vibrations per second with an amplitude or working stroke of the tool tip of .0014 inch. These vibrations are transmitted to finely divided particles of aluminum oxide, sus- pended in an air water mixture, which is sprayed over the tooth. The particles are thus forced against the surface of the tooth and the shape of the tool in the handpiece is reproduced in the tooth. Bone conducted head noises, vibration, heat and a great portion of the pain usually experienced are thus eliminated. These changes in methods and materials result in a superior quality of service to the patient. By im- proving the quality of this service, we are fulfilling our obligations as a profession to a greater degree. It is our duty as dentists to keep abreast of research and development. We should be eager to appreciate and apply methods and skills which will contribute to the benefit of mankind. Dr. Carl Oman Irvin L. Hunt, Jr. Edward A. Cain, Jr. D.D.S. B.S., D.D.S.

Suomi A.BvD.D.S. In this era of mechanization and automation, rich with its progress and advancements in all fields for the benefit of mankind, one is easily caught in the tide of speed and materialism brought on by such advances. In such a tide, the consideration of the individual is often minimized or sacrificed, and the true aims and purposes of the advancements are lost. This is applicable to all fields, but especially so in medicine and dentistry. This most certainly is true of prosthetic dentistry. Each patient, each case, should represent an individ- ual challenge in itself, bringing its own problems, its own peculiarities, and also its own rewards. How the dentist meets these challenges is also an individ- ual matter. In your courses in prosthetic dentistry, an attempt was made to teach you the basic present-day tech- niques based on modern concepts of the restorative phrases of dentistry. Without a firm foundation in the biological sciences, this would be impossible to achieve or perpetuate. The procedures you followed in the clinical phases of prosthetic dentistry were a composite of the views of our staff. By means of monthly seminars through- out the junior and senior years, you were exposed PROSTHETIC DENTISTRY to many other theories and techniques which their exponents feel are equally as successful. If nothing more was accomplished for you through these sem- inars than the establishment of an open mind when reading and evaluating various controversial articles in the literature, we feel they were worthwhile. The responsibility for using all the knowledge im- parted to you for the benefit of the patient and the advancement of the profession is on your shoulders. We, the staff, of the prosthetic division, feel that as graduates of Columbia University there will be very few phases of prosthetic dentistry with which you will be unable to cope. Of this, we are justifiably proud. We extend our sincerest congratulations to you at this time and hope you will never cease to be students of dentistry. The hopes for the future of our profession lie in you. Dr. John J. Lucca GILBERT P. SMITH, D.D.S. Professor of Dentistry George W. Hindels M.D., D.D.S. Robert Kelley D.D.S. 13 ORTHODONTICS! ARTHUR C. TOTTEN, D.D.S. Professor of Dentistry Professor Hooton states Malocclusion is princi- pally a phenomenon of modern civilization, and it is increasing most alarmingly — for if the human den- tition breaks down, it will carry with it in its fall the human species. It is the general dental practitioner, who admin- isters to the needs of the oral cavity, that is in a po- sition of solving the dental health problems of the people as a whole. The modern dentist must have a complete under- standing of the growing child in order to advise the parents accordingly. He must have some understand- ing of the orthodontic problems in order to differ- entiate between the normal and abnormal and their variations at the various age levels. The incidence of caries and malocclusions could be greatly reduced if the dentist recognized insipient conditions. The incidence of dento-facial deformities is grow- ing at an alarming rate. It is believed by many au- thorities that this is primarily cau sed by our modern diet. Form and function are synonymous terms. Normal function begets normal form and abnormal function begets abnormal form. Today ' s soft diet does not stimulate normal function; produces poor muscle tone and poor supporting bone. Todays ' general dental practitioner must be a man of vision and understanding, mentally awake and stimulated by the problems of tomorrow. Dr. Arthur C. Totten Harry A. Gallon D.D.S. James Jay D.D.S.

SOLOMON N. ROSENSTEIN, B.S., D.D.S. Profes.-wr of Dentistry Professor of Dentistry i ■ EDODONJICS i % Increasing attention is being centered on dental care for children in all sections of our country. As newly developed residential sections become popu- lated the accompanying increase in numbers of pre-school and school age children thrusts a com- bination of responsibilities on those communities which tax severely their education, recreation and health facilities. Among the several services which represent local efforts to fulfil their health respon- sibility for these children, dental care is considered a necessary service. This is manifested by the desires of many communities to appoint official school dentists, often on a competitive basis in order to obtain highly competent personnel. In some areas caries is present in more than 95% of the school age population. In addition, caries incidence is increasing in the pre-school age population. This represents a professional task of tremendous proportions. It is imperative that every general practitioner of dentistry welcomes the chil- dren of his area as patients for com plete dental care. As an essential part of complete dental care he must include emphasis on sound confirmed measures for prevention of dental disease. Many of these measures must be brought to the attention of par- ents and children, as they can be applied readily at home. Other measures, whose application is on a broader basis, must be brought to the attention of school and civic authorities by the dentist. Only with emphasis on. and exercise of, measures for prevention can the dental profession fulfil its respon- sibility to provide complete dental care for children. Dr. Solomon N.

Director of Oral Surgery ORAL SURGERY The pledged ideal of this graduating class is be complimented. To foster such a thought throug out one ' s lite, infers many self-sacrifices. It is n sufficient for one to give his all to his privs practice, for such is not truly gratifying. Practit as such, would not be stimulating enough to arous and keep aroused the ideas of research and aid one ' s fellow man. Several pathways are open to you, to stimula you throughout your professional life. Among the are dental internships and postgraduate courses. The internship broadens the basic education i the dentist; wherein he comes into closer conta with his patient; wherein he slowly adopts the a titude of his medical and surgical conferees, tht enlivening his interest in the eradication and all viation of disease processes. This in effect transpost him from a chair-side technician, to one truly inte: ested in the medical aspects of his work. The postgraduate course, enlivens a student in specific field, which will aid him in his future plan and make him more expert. Your training should not end here. Rather, th individual should project these instruments of ed cation into further usefulness, such as teaching, re search or clinical work. Where such ideals are carried into the teal-bin, field and with clinical work at hospitals for th needy and indigent, then only could dentistry trul come of age with medicine. Dr. William J. Savo ' It is the rare dental student who does not, at least at some time during his training, ask why he must spend so many precious hours in the study of sub- jects classified as the basic sciences. Yet it does not require much reflection to realize that if the dental student ' s education were restricted to the learning of techniques without an understanding of biological principles, dentistry might flourish as a trade but would certainly die as a profession. The practice of dentistry today is different in many respects from that of earlier years. The den- tist of a century ago restricted his practice largely to the removal of infected teeth and to their replace- ment for esthetic reasons. Over the years the prac- tice has grown to include greater proportions of pre- ventive dentistry, periodontics, endodontics and or- thodontics, as well as improvements in restorative dentistry which now emphasize the biological as well as the technical requirements. The importance of elimination of oral sepsis to the general well-being of the patient required an un- derstanding of the process of inflammation and a knowledge of the role of bacteria in disease. The dramatic change in the management of infections with the rapid advance of chemotherapy and anti- biotic therapy within the past decade required in- tensive research in microbiology and ph armacology. Pharmacologic research has continued to give the practitioner more efficient anesthetics, analgesics, hemostatics and other agents to increase his arma- mentarium in the treatment of oral disorders. The etiology and mechanism of the caries process, although not yet completely understood, has come closer to elucidation with advances in the fields of microbiology, histology and biochemistry. Recent findings regarding the function of the sa- livary glands suggest that there is an intimate rela- tionship between these glands and some of the en- docrine glands, especially the thyroids and gonads. Caries researchers have, from time to time, pointed out that modifications in endocrine gland function may affect the caries rate in experimental animals. It remains for the future to disclose whethei and to what extent alterations in salivary gland function may affect dental tissues. BASIC SCIENCES The recording of action potentials of nerve and muscle tissues moved out of the physiology labora- tory and into a position of importance in clinical medicine. Recently great interest has attended the measurement of electromyograms in skeletal muscle. Already several attempts have been made to use this technique in such dental problems as the determina- tion of the intermaxillary distance at the so-called physiologic rest position. Others are using this method to investigate whether the development of certain types of malocclusions can be predicted from measurable alterations in activity of the oro-facial muscles. These are but a few of the more obvious examples of the close relationship which dental practice has with basic science research and serve to reinforce our belief that clinical dentistry cannot stand alone. We, as practitioners, in order to afford our patients the best of care, must continually remain informed of the activity and progress in those sciences upon which our profession is based.

This is thestory of our class, as we lived it. as we remember it. We came here to become dentists, but in those early months they sure had us fooled. Luckily our while jackets saved us from oblivion. Our early courses consisted of anatomy, histology and hearts. ' tomy was the course devoted to sitting around !■ i..iig table and reviewing old and new jokes while the Kog was out checking heart sounds. Once in a while, a bird named Robin would fly in and ask all sorts of einbarrasing questions. And will anyone ever know wlrat happened to cloves Click ? ' Wax chips fell like snowflakes. A bucket of pig embryos. All aspiring dentists carry them. You ' re not too bright, Harry. Physiology (a course where cats don ' t have a chance on sunny afternoons) taught us that pit- ressin really works. It was in this class that one of our alert faculty members discovered the Donald Duct. It wasn ' t until mid-winter that we discovered teeth. It seems that teeth are surrounded by bone (which is bone, boys) and a structure called the periodontium — which reappeared three years later in, of all places, senior prosthetics. In the spring, it was biochemistry and more hearts, time being divided equally for both. Dr. Karshan wanted to give us the old time-tested exams, but that young upstart kept whispering in his ear — change the questions, new exams. Due to some oversight, the annual freshman- faculty barbecue was not held that year. Vacation rolled around quickly and we basked naively in the warm summer sun contemplating the year that lay ahead. Upon returning to school in the fall, we were introduced to that Garden of Eden — the eighth floor. While we were sharpening our pencils in pathology under the tutelage of J. Wellington Pencilpoint, the sophomore committee was sharpening the axe which was soon to fall.

Bacteriology taught us the principles of anaphylaxis in pregnant guinea pigs with cervical caries and the mating habits of vaccinated rabbits in an incubator. In an ivy-covered chapel on the 7th floor, we learned the facts of life from our new Bible, Good- man and Gillman. Here, Reverend Bart, the dental student ' s Billy Graham, preached the true way of life. Here, emesis became a household word. Once again we cruised through the periodontium reaffirming our faith in reattachment As finals neared, there was a bull market on dexedrine stocks. Students in mid-May could be seen studying in over- coats, mufflers, and gloves while the rest of the city decried a new heat wave. And. so it ended. The test by fire was finished. Some of us got through with only a third degree burn, some fried and others cremated. . Novo I ' ll tell you something 1 Now, when you do this over These things happen. 23 Fore! Caddy!

After we learned how to clean out the patient ' s pockets, we met Occlusal Louie. It was eleven weeks of slides, word and models, none of which gave us centric. The debate between The Barndoorgraph and the Transograph raged on through the spring. The year ' s social calendar reached its height at the Senior Farewell, where the production of Guys and Dents brought down the house. Go to sleep . . . you re feeling drowsy . . . look at my thumb . . . go to sleep . . . keep your eyes on my thumb, you in- grate ! 24 He called me ' Doc, ' Harry. Will you cease those unprofessional bird imita- tions. Wonder what the market is for used ticker tape? Did you use the Baronometer? ' But, son, I don ' t understand why you want to change your name to Aaron Aaronson. Dad, it ' s something that only a senior in the third group could explain. Yes, here we are at the senior year. A senior, in order to graduate, must secure six hundred opera- tive points, three partials. two and one-half, full fientures, and assorted crowns. Each student is equipped with three years of knowledge, clinical materials, and a pair of roller skates, in order to play the game. An addendum to the rules, this year, reminded the student that the teeth are surrounded by the periodontium. Hurley was King of all crown and bridge. The Streak was the full-denture consultant. The Baron, inventor of Baron Lug-seat formers, Baron-trays, and Trips to Ireland arranged cheap, was the partial expert. How many partial harnesses has your group cast? Questions heard around the benches this year were: — Does the Baron really own Vanderbilt Clinic? — Did G.P. really create Hurley from a ball of blue wax? — Does Dr. Scrivani know that an inlay can be worth more than ten points? — Who will be cast as Lou Fox as a boy in the forthcoming Cecile B. DeMille epic, Odonto- plasty ? — Was Dr. Fireball really right about Tommy Dorsey? — Is it essential, that the cow bone powder be Kosher? In Dr. Hunt ' s lectures, we learned that a good lawyer was worth his weight in gold foil and how to find a patient lost in the files. Bert and Harry sold us a case of T.M Joints and public health was redefined as health for the public through statistics. And, so it went. If we may leave but one message behind, let it be, IN DUCO WE TRUST. WElHUtf Pharmacology, pathology, bacteriology ake for a well rounded Dentist, Bert. ' ' Who ever heard of a square Dentist, arrvi xou dullard. Stanley Berger A son of the world-famed borough of Brooklyn, Stan has been one of the more academically dis- tinguished members of our class. Coming to us from N.Y.U. where he was a scholarship holder and a member of the Fauchardian pre-dental honor soci- ety Stan brought with him that institution ' s physics medal and a New York State Scholarship for pro- fessional study in dentistry. At Columbia his scholastic competence was quickly rewarded by his election to the William Jarvie Society. In his spare time he has been a very active member of the Alpha Omega fraternity which he has served as secretary, editor and repre- sentative to the National Seminar Council. in Mil- waukee. During his junior year Stan devoted his free time to service as an aide at the Psychiatric Institute. Summers have found him engaged in the applica- tion of his many talents as a waiter in the Borscht circuit. On graduation Stan will enter service in the Army for two years after which he will enter private practice in the metropolitan area. 26 Hail to the Chief is our greeting to one of the nicest guys we have the pleasure of calling class- mate. Reserved, friendly, cooperative and remark- ably talented in getting things done — that ' s John. A resident of Floral Park, L. I., the Chief received his educational background leading to a B.S. degree at Fordham University in the Bronx. New York State has rewarded John ' s academic prowess with a professional scholarship for his dental studies. He has had an additional source of income from the Psychiatric Institute where he has worked part time for two years. John ' s curricular achievement has led to membership in the William Jarvie society and he has contributed in part to creating the fine decorations at all Psi Omega dances. Aside from assisting Mrs. Lang on the clinic floor, John is currently at grips with a patient who claims to have come from the planet Venus. Such association can only lead to his rising to great brilliance and becoming a star in his profession. John M. Brady 27 It was a happy day for Columbia and the dental profession when Vic cast off his Navy blue, com- pleted his studies at Hofstra and headed our way. Though modest and unassuming in nature, his sin- cere consideration for his fellow students, his in- fectious warmth and friendliness and his varied and outstanding capabilities have won the respect and admiration of all who know him. For his entire four years at Columbia his dental work has consistently approached perfection itself. The Jarvie Society recognized his many achieve- ments and hailed him to membership. His fellow Psi Omegans elected him as Grand Inquisitor and Treasurer and his classmates elected him as Stu- dent Council Representative. He is equally at home assisting Dr. Lucca as he is displaying his dancing wizardry with his charm- ing wife Marian. Upon graduation Vic will enter private practice. Both Susan and his most recent joy, Stephen, agree with us. that their daddy can ' t miss. 28 A ready smile and authentic Ivy League tailoring have contributed to making Tweed a popular favorite among his classmates. His talent as an ar- tist has been aptly utilized in the care and finess accorded each piece of his work, be it veneer crown or costume jewelry. Morty received his A.B. degree from Columbia University. More recently he has become a redoubt- able commuter, leaving punctually at 4:30 each Friday afternoon from Kingston to see his lovely financee Judy, to whom he will be wed in June. Weekdays have seen him limiting his commuting to the D train on which he has enjoyed the New ork Times editorials and crossword puzzles. As an active member of the Alpha Omega Fra- ternity, Morty served as pledge chairman and was a leading laugh-getter in the annual Senior Fare- well skits. Following service in the Army, he plans to enter private practice in Kingston, where he will be able to see if fluoridation really works. 29 Joe came to Columbia dental school from Sche- nectady and Siena College where he received his B.S. degree in the class of ' 52. He spent an addi- tional year there studying biochemistry. After a quiet beginning at dental school, Joe soon got into the swing of class life. Most of us will no doubt remember him for his animated man- ner in the course of discussion and the ferocity of defense of his arguments, both in and out of classes, and with anyone who ventured to disagree with him. Joe ' s willingness to enter into debate, however, did not overshadow his ability to produce dental work fine in all respects. Joe ' s capability has been reflected in his election to the Jarvie society and selection as an assistant by Dr. DiLisi. He has also been an active Psi Omegan. Joe is positive that the future holds an army commission for him and afterward he will probably enter private practice with his brother in Schenectady. 30 As one of the few surviving members of the original Hearts ' Council, Herb has not only found time to be congenial, but has amassed in his unas- suming manner a highly creditable record of achievement and service during his four years at Columbia. A product of Syracuse University, his main loves lie on the ski slopes of Vermont or the nearest tennis courts. Sometimes his athletic interests were diverted by the tempting offerings, both equine and feminine, available in his home town of Yonkers. Dr. Budowsky has taken advantage of Herb ' s technical ability. Even though the bank was often crowded, Herb always found time to answer the call of his fraternity brothers and classmates. He served with competence and ingenuity both as treas- urer of Alpha Omega and Business Manager of our DENTAL COLUMBIAN. His future holds intern- ship, Army service and then private practice. 31 Philip G. Frey Every morning at nine o ' clock ensconced in a chair near the front of the lecture room, index finger raised, protesting to the instructor that his name is pronounced Fray not Fry we find Phil. His unusual intellectual capacity was evidenced at New York ' s City College where he won a New York State Dental Scholarship and election to Phi Beta Kappa in addition to his B.S. degree. This intellectual capacity, however, did not over- shadow certain other prodigious capacities as evi- denced during freshman physiology or a creative one used in developing a unique baseplate adapter under the benevolent guidance of Dr. Pleasure. At Columbia Phil has been an active member of Alpha Omega, the Harvey Society and a literary editor of the DENTAL COLUMBIAN. Summers have found his talents employed at children ' s camps where he has been employed at jobs as diverse as journalism counselor and crafts head. Graduation will find him serving as an intern at the Bronx Municipal Hospital Center, a dental officer with the Army and a private practitioner — in that succession. 32 (1 Herbert H. Frommer Herb first saw the outline of his dental career as he rowed up the Hudson for the Columbia varsity crew. The class of 1957 soon warmed to his friend- ly jovial manner. A part-time managership at the Lion ' s Den and a position as court jester of the Club 504 have left Herb little time for his favorite sport. His theatrical abilities have served many useful purposes, especially in his production of very successful Senior Farewell skits. Herb is a member of the Harvey Society and Alpha Omega and has served his fraternity as so- cial chairman. His technical abilities and profes- sionalism will make him an outstanding practitioner of dentistry. Professional Herb ' s winning ways have made him one of the most popular members of our class. Future plans for Herb include service in the U.S. Navy after which he contemplates private practice in a suburban community. 33 Roland J. Garofalo If we were to elect a Mr. Ivy League it would undoubtedly be Rollie. This versatile Yale alumnus has proved himself in many varied endeavors. His winning of the Gardner Millett award while on Yale ' s track team and a New York State Dental Scholarship are but two. His diplomacy, dynamic personality and propen- sity for leadership is attested to by his being elected to many positions: Vice President of the freshman class, President of the sophomore class and student council representative. Psi Omega fraternity elected him to the offices of Chaplin. Junior Assistant Secre- tary and Secretary. In addition to these extra-curricular . activities Rollie somehow found time to assist Dr. Zegarelli. However, most striking of all is Rollie ' s uncanny ability to remain calm, cool and collected during the most ominous situations as proved by his cele- brating the completion of the first few months of the sophomore year by marrying his lovely Ger- aldine. 34 The substitution of aluminum foil for gold foil as a more esthetic anterior filling material was Frank ' s contribution to dentistry during our soph- omore year. Both gold foil and Frank are still with us although aluminum foil has been relegated to service in freezers and refrigerators. Coming to us from Uptown New York University with an R.O.T.C. Air Force commission, a bache- lor ' s degree and a record as an outstanding Glee Club member Frank has become an active member of Alpha Omega at the dental school. Financing his own education he has held varying summer jobs — loading refrigerated trucks, acoustical estimator, and architectural draftsman. Prior to beginning his Junior year, Frank was wed to a lovely redhead named Cynthia. After grad- uation Frank plans to go on active duty as a First Lieutenant in the United States Air Force Reserve. When he has completed his service he plans to enter private practice in suburban Connecticut. Frank M. Gasthalter j ( 1 35 Eliot G. Gesner Each day through the jam of the subway Eliot comes to us from the bustling borough of Brooklyn. Though this change from the quiet surroundings of his undergraduate days at Hamilton College would perturb a lesser man. Eliot has continued his same outstanding job. On the basis of his consist- ently high scholastic standing he was elected to the William Jarvie Society in his sophomore year and he has been the recipient of a Dean ' s Scholarship. On the lighter side, he has been a stalwart mem- ber of the Alpha Omega Fraternity and a valued addition to the business staff of the Dental Colum- bian. As if to typify his outlook on life. Eliot has spent his summers as the manager of a Good Humor stand. The future holds much for Eliot. Upon gradua- tion he and his lovely financee. Sandy, will be mar- ried. Using those talents he has gained at Columbia. Eliot plans an internship at the Brooklyn Veterans Administration Hospital followed by two years serv- ice in the Army and eventually private practice. 36 Leonard M. Goldfarb The expression, ' ' He knows where he is going, can with justice be applied to Lenny. It is evident that he selected his profession at a comparatively early age and that he has been diligently and relent- lessly applying himself to the point where dentistry is both vocation and avocation. His technical skills resulted in his employment as Dr. Herlands ' assistant, while his scholastic achieve- ment led to his election to the William Jarvie So- ciety. Goldie came to us from City College where, in addition to wooing the muse of knowledge, he wooed and won his lovely wife, Elaine. Despite a busy senior schedule he finds time to breed rare tropical fish in his bathtub-size tanks and livens up many an Alpha Omega smoker and dance. Plans for the future include an internship at Mount Sinai Hospital, followed by private practice. 37 Gesner. — Here. Goldfarb. — Here. Haas. — (Silence), Haas? — (Silence). This fa- miliar situation at morning classes has been due to Bob ' s rarely arriving more than one hour late. How- ever he usually has arrived in time to display his multifold clinical talents. Bob ' s proficiency in den- tistry was matched by his ability as a surgeon in Freshman physiology. He also will be remembered for his work with aluminum foil. ( If only it were cohesive. ) Among Bob ' s accomplishments was avoiding our sophomore pharmacology final by uniquely having a serious automobile accident several days prior to the year ' s end. He has completely recovered and hardly misses one kneecap lost in the accident. Bob ' s pre-dental training was supplied by Cham- plain College and Ohio State University. Summers have found him working at summer camps or be- hind Macy ' s complaint counter. He plans to spend next year at Harlem Hospital as an intern before entering the army. The last, but hardly the least important of his future plans is his wedding to Lois prior to graduation. 38 If any one of us outfits his office entirely with home built equipment it will be our versatile Mike. Judging by such notable creations as his Rube Goldberg tooth brushing machine for testing tooth powders and his home constructed dental en- gine assembled from an assortment of miscellaneous parts in no way intended for these purposes it wouldn ' t surprise us if some old light bulbs coming from Canal Street, Lenny ' s second home, wouldn ' t miraculously turn into a home-bulit x-ray machine. Lenny came to us from N.Y.U. at Washington Square where he was a member of Fauchardian, the pre-dental honor society. His good scholarship at Columbia was attested to by several Dean ' s scholar- ships awarded to him. Our Junior year saw Lenny living at Psychiatric engaged in maintaining discipline among the chil- dren and morale among the nurses. However, though we may be wrong, he has maintained his byword of no entangling alliances thus far. Len is one of the many many students who owes his financial backing to employment as a waiter in the Borscht circuit. His postgrad plans include an internship and then a two year association with the U.S. Army to be followed by suburban practice. Leonard H. Hammer 39 Very few men can lose a long pin facing, laugh at that misfortune, then make another, crack it and still remain as happy-go-lucky as if Cheyenne had just been made a nightly TV program. This is Karl, congenial, steady, dedicated to dentistry, always striving for perfection and ever-willing to give a helping hand to fellow sufferers. Karl ' s varied interests include being a Hi Fi ad- dict with a fine record collection, the opera (sans Puccini, good books, wrestling, and a passion for card-playing, the latter clearly testified to by his fellow Hearts players who have heard his admoni- tion of There can be only one winner. Karl is a charter member of two local organiza- tions of renown, namely the Hearts Council and the Exalted Order of Enamel Hatchets. His scholastic achievement is testified to by his having received a State Professional Scholarship. His outstanding leadership abilities have been recognized in his unanimous election as senior class president. The future holds an internship at Mount Sinai hospital, military service and private practice in New York. 40 James B. Horn Outwardly unassuming, never loquacious, Jim concentrates on his high standards and principles as can be seen by his consistently fine work. His en- ergies are not solely channelled in the direction of producing fine dentistry but otljer pursuits, most notably a love of good literature vie for his time. Indeed, this sublime pastime, which fills his free hours, can be attributed principally to oversubscrip- tions in book clubs, ' ' which keep him busy at read- ing five different books at any given time. Fortunate- ly this burden is shared by his loving wife Frieda, which undoubtedly is the secret to their enduring marital bliss. Previous to coming to us from Hofstra College Jim spent four years in the U.S. Army of Occupa- tion in Germany. A New York State Professional Scholarship and membership in the Jarvey Society attest to his high scholastic ability. He is also claimed by Psi Omega. Jim ' s future is bright with plans for a private practice in Long Island after graduation. 41 Philip E. Koski One of our few classmates to hail from elsewhere than New York is Phil Koski. The Senator, as he is sometimes called, is a proud son of the Bay State of Massachusetts. Most people can tell you how to smoke or chew tobacco but Phil can tell you how to grow it too. An expert on agricultural economy, the Senator is ever willing to debate parity with an unsuspecting theorist. Soft-spoken and always the gentleman, Phil has won a host of friends here at Columbia. He has been a brother of Psi Omega Fraternity for four years as well as a charter member of the Harvey Society. Besides academic and social affairs Phil has found time to take advantage of New ' York ' s cultural opportunities by frequent visits to the theater and even trips to as far away as onkers to observe the local fauna. After graduation Phil plans to intern back in Massachusetts and then to enter private practice somewhere in New England. 42 rv Bob. or as he is better known, Jose, came to us from Columbia College. He has been very active in school affairs, serving both as a class representa- tive to the Student Council and as a social chairman of the Alpha Omega Fraternity. His interests are not limited exclusively to den- tistry as he is constantly following the events of the day. This is evidenced by the fact that he always carries a newspaper under his arm. Aside from his accomplishments in social areas Bob has demonstrated ability as an outstanding student. He was elected to the Harvey Society dur- ing his sophomore year and won a Dean ' s scholar- ship . This year a pretty young lady named Janice has finally put an end to Jose ' s bachelorhood. Bob and Jan will be wed this June. After graduation Bob will serve for two years in the Navy and then re- enter private practice. ■r W- Robert Lester 43 With the air of a man unperturbed by the sur- rounding chaos, this human dynamo has forged through four years at dental school with the great- est of ease. Life at school would have been dull in- deed, at times, if Al had not answered the Clarion Call and brought many a smile to his classmates with his articles and photos as Editor of the Daily Dental. A sturdy son of his beloved C.C.N.Y., Al ' s popu- larity and business acumen led his classmates to elect him as a student council representative, class treasurer and business manager of the Dental Co- lumbian. His fellow Alpha Omegans honored his leadership qualities by electing him to the Vice- presidency and Presidency of their fraternity in his junior and senior years. Al has been selected by the Air Force for three years of service following graduation as a member of their Senior Dental Program. Bowling or bell- hopping, basketball or hearts, dancing the cha cha or at the dental chair, Al ' s smiling confidence has always given him the proper touch for the job. 44 Dignified and imperturbable. A student leader, John received his B.S. from St. John ' s College where he was president of Sigma Tau Alpha Fra- ternity and elected to Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. John has accomplished much during his four years with us at Columbia. Most of his time has been devoted to the Gamma Lambda Chapter of Psi Omega Fraternity as Senator-Editor, Junior Grand Master and finally, Grand Master during his senior year. As editor-in-chief of the DENTAL COLUMBIAN, John carried most of the burden on his shoulders and almost every page carries the mark of his ar- tistic or literary talents. But, John will readily ad- mit that his supreme accomplishment was awarding the degree of Mrs. to his beautiful Vi and find- ing the time for a honeymoon in Bermuda. Following military service, he intends to open practice in or around New York City and pursue further study in a specialty of dentistry. A dynamo of human energy and willing to give his all to any task, his success is assured. 45 Arnie is one of those rare people who admits to having lived almost all his life in Brooklyn, U.S.A. Since November of 1953 he has lived in that bor- i ough at 64 Church Avenue, an abode which he shares with his charming wife Roslyn and where he assumes the guise of family man. During the Spring, Fall and Winter months, when the birds fly South, Arnie migrates daily to dental school where the family man guise is displaced by one which he terms inconspicuosity. Incon- spicuosity is hardly an apt description of his ac- tivities. Scholastically, he was a holder of a partial scholarship at Bethany College where he received an A.B. degree in 1954. At Columbia he has had a New York State Professional Scholarship and a Dean ' s scholarship. Extra-curricularly we have found him serving as Secretary and President of his class, Vice-president, Secretary-treasurer and President of the Student Council, and President of the Jarvie Society. He has also served the Alpha Omega Fraternity as Vice- President. Following grad uation his inconspicu- osity will be the property of the U.S. Army . . . Uncle Sam — beware! 46 After only a three year stay at Fordham Univer- sity, Ray gained admittance to the School of Dental and Oral Surgery. He was awarded a New York State professional scholarship and was elected to the William Jarvie Society within a very short time. Psi Omega Fraternity was also quick to claim Ray as a member. Ray will always be remembered for his hearty- laugh and keen sense of humor. The past Christmas season saw Ray and his bride. Margie, honeymooning in Miami Beach. The future appears very promising for Ray. In June he begins a rotating internship at Mary Im- maculate Hospital in Jamaica. After completing his internship, he will enter private practice imme- diately. Raymond M. Milano 47 Joseph P. Moffa Unfailing good humor and perfect inlay margins are the hallmark of Joe, for whom the appellation Craftsman is, if anything, an understatement. Coming here from Manhattan College, he soon dis- tinguished himself by being the first student in the history of the school who knew all the intricacies of a dental handpiece, having worked as a machinist in the Chayes plant — but had never seen a tooth. His natural mechanical ability enabled him to sail through Sophomore technique, and Dr. Cain was quick to utilize Joe ' s gem-like masterpieces in his own service. In the midst of disposing of his Senior requirements via umpteen hydrocolloid impressions of assorted sizes and shapes, he still finds time to liven up many a Psi Omega smoker and dance. Future plans include marriage to his lovely fian- cee, Barbara, active duty in the U. S. Public Health Service, and, ultimately, private practice. ;■ m i 48 Donald L. Olson Prior to the initiation of his career here, Wheaton (111.) College was privileged to play host to Ollie and his pack of Nyack Knacks. As an accomplished cellist, he added mellow zest to the school orchestra. His notoriety for the concoction of smorgasbord spread far and wide over the campus and his selec- tion as cook was inevitable. Ollie took advantage of his lofty position to spoon with the salad girl who is reputed to be quiet a dish by those who know Mrs. Olson. With the completion of his sophomore obligations Ollie yielded to marital obligations. A New York State Professional Scholarship and a summer milk route have helped him whiz through school and still leave time for him to look for a fourth for a string quartet or a baby sifter for his year-old daughter. After graduation Ollie ' s talents will be applied ■ during service in the U. S. Army. Following service he will enter private practice and possibly the spe- cialty of Oral Surgery. 49 Joseph Ponwrantz Ability and common sense have made Joe suscep- tible to the questions of his classmates who regard him as a pretty reliable source of information. A graduate of Columbia College, Joe put his A.B. de- gree to good use when he worked as a waiter in some of the more renowned Catskill resorts. Joe began his dental school career by winning a New York State Professional Scholarship and has maintained a high scholastic standing as evidenced by his election to the William Jarvie Society. His popularity and confidence have won him offices as pledgemaster and program chairman in Alpha Omega and as a representative of the Senior Class in the Student Council. The senior year was highlighted for Jo,e by his marriage to his lovely Carol in December. His fu- ture plans include an internship, army service and private practice. 50 Arriving rather inobtrusively from- Columbia Col- lege where he received his B.A. degree Bob soon distinguished himself at the dental school with his rare individuality. Displaying an unparalleled talent for practicality, uniqueness and humor he soon had won our class title as most unforgettable char- acter. When the words: ' Laugh, sneer, deride echoed through the eighth floor lab we knew Bob was busy brightening the many dreary lab hours for his classmates. His witty commentaries and satires on life in dental school will always be remembered for their keen humor. During his more serious hours Bob was busy with his hobby-work! Dr. Rogers and the anatomy de- partment availed themselves of his talents. Bob has been a member of Psi Omega and the winner of the Samuel D. Birenbach award in oral surgery. His omniverous interest in basic sciences and surgery will doubtlessly be employed in further study after graduation. Robert D. Rhodes 51 Jerry is one of the large number of our classmates who arrived here after undergraduate days at Co- lumbia College. He was a top student there and has continued to be one here at dental school. Conse- quently he was honored at the end of the freshman year with election to the Jarvie Society. Jerry has also taken part in class activities, serv- ing as Treasurer during the freshman year, and Vice- President and Student Council Representative dur- ing the junior year. During that very same busy junior year Jerry acted as secretary for the Jarvie society. He also managed to take a little time off to marry his charming Barbara, thus putting the final touch on one of our classes ' long-term romances. Not wanting to let any spare time pile up, he has also been working after hours as one of Dr. Her- lands ' assistants. As for the future Jerry looks for- ward to internship at Mount Sinai Hospital, two years in the service and then a private practice. 52 During the past four years Wally has proven him- self to be our outstanding scholar and source of ref- erence. As his classmates fondly recall, his words often made a trip to the library unnecessary. A Phi Bate from Columbia College and the recipient of a New York State Professional Scholarship, he has maintained an enviable academic record. His scholastic achievement earned him the dis- tinction of being among the first in our class to be elected to the William Jarvie Society. An active member of Alpha Omega Fraternity, he also served Jarvie as treasurer in his junior year. During the Christmas recess in our hectic Sopho- more year Wally abandoned bachelorhood by tying the knot with his charming sweetheart Marcia. After an internship and service for Uncle Sam, Wally in- tends to enter into private practice. 53 Showing that good grades, a full social life and clean living are not necessarily antagonistic, John spent four peaceful years in a quiet quest for knowl- edge and in a successful attempt to become a su- perior operator. John came to us from Glen Ridge, New Jersey, via Colgate University where he re- ceived his A.B. degree. As a member of Psi Omega, John directed their social activities in his Junior year. His scholastic achievements brought his election into the Jarvie Society during that same year. One of our foremost camera enthusiasts, John is always prepared to whip his camera from drawer number five of his kit in order to snap a good one for the year book. His summer labors at Silver Bay have added im- measurably to his dental knowledge as they have made him more cognizant of conditions existing in the oral cavity. John looks forward to military serv- ice upon graduation, after which he plans to settle and practice in Summit, New Jersey. 54 Take equal parts of intellect and sarcasm, add one dash of wry and shy ways, mix well and what do you have? It ' s Burt! A native of HicksviUe, in the distant land of Suburbia, Long Island, Burt has spent the last eight years living in New York City, first as an undergraduate at N.Y.U. ' s Heights center and more recently at the dental school. Coming to us with a B.A. degree and New York State Professional Dental Scholarship, Burt has ex- celled in many areas, becoming a member of the Jarvie Society and Vice-president of our senior class. Summers have seen Burt ' s rare character em- ployed in the inspiration of youth as a camp counsel- lor or dispensing his good spirits along with a more alcoholic sort at a seaside resort. The future holds an army commission to be followed by private prac- tice. Burton A. Weidman 55 Stephen M. Winber Winber! Here, sir, — and with this the roll is complete. 01 Steve has survived another hectic trip in from Larchmont, where he and his lovely wife, Gloria, reside. Columbia College sent Steve to us, and Alpha Omega as well as the class have ac- claimed his photographic talents. His wit and quick powers of observation have fre- quently managed to banish class confusion during lectures. Steve proved his scholarship early in his dental career by being first in winning the New York State Professional Dental Scholarship in 1953. The William Jarvie Society was quick to recognize his scholastic abilities by electing him early to mem- bership and currently to Vice-Presidency. Summers during his dental school career have found Steve enjoying his nomadic treks as mountain climber and scenic photographer throughout the United States. His future holds service in the Army and ultimately private practice. S y 1 1 1 56 I The time is 1:30. The clinic is ftnallv-closed for the Class of ] 957. ■ : ' Back Row: D. Wolmer, A. Palermo, C.

CLASS OF 1958 With nails polished, jackets spotless and still wearing our Catskill suntan we unpacked our Junior kits and became clinicians. Our green lab knives were honed sharp, our Arkansas stones oiled and our Hanau pans percolating at exactly 145°F. as we anxiously awaited our first full denture patients. As clinicians we were no longer concerned with Lepto- spira biflexa, hexamethonium, Coeflo or Sophomore Committee meetings. We were again becoming whole men and Playhouse 90, Broken Arrow, Wyatt Earp and the Daily Racing Form were in vogue. The first Junior-Senior interclass touting pact was signed, truly a momentous occasion. Class social ac- tivity reached a new peak as the Tropical Gardens will attest. Why, we were feeling so good that no one even complained at our faculty cocktail party. Patients were scarce those first few lean weeks of clinic. We glanced anxiously at the chance appoint- ment list and prayed fervently to the Great White Goddess of the clinic — Mrs. Moore. Slowly and surely they came, gummy ridges clattering as they walked. Hard ridges, soft ridges, crossbite ridges — no ridges. The compound flew, the wax came next, then the plaster and before we knew it (anywhere 58 .O ,0 .o Back f?ou - R. Neuberger, L. Slawin, R.

New hurdles replaced those we had overcome. Was that an odontoma or the maxillary tuberosity? If you didn ' t know, you could always get a consen- sus from the thirty answer sheets handed in ahead of yours. What angle did you use for a molar bite- wing? Parasympathomimetics presented no prob- lem here, but sterility did. Did our carpules really contain saline and did Dr. Herlands actually want us to complete that por- celain jacket were the philosophical enigmas of the year. As spring approaches, and with it. the opening of golf courses, new shows, local racetracks and of course. L. A. Cohn ' s lecture series, we await the things which lie ahead — patients for practicals, pulp capping, class 3 foils, tuberosity reductioris — and we mustn ' t forget curettage. Our Operative points are mounting now and finishing lines beginning to appear on our dies. Bring on those comprehensive cases and senior requirements. We ' re the Class of ' 58.

CLASS OF 1959 Sophomore Sounds: If it weren ' t for Bact., Path, and Pharmo., there ' d be nothing to it. Had to borrow on my Blue Cross policy to pay for this kit. There must be someplace to store all these empty boxes. I hope I get finished with all these drawings so I can get a chance to look at the slides. Dr. Ellison questioned me on a question I had. I missed yesterday ' s Pharmacology lecture. Do you think I should fast today? Do you think these eggs will hatch before Easter ? This is it. Boys. Real calculus!

But. due to circum- stances beyond our control, we were born one year too late and so have not yet arrived at that blissful Garden of Eden, Junior Year. But, the great day is approaching. Yes, it won ' t be long now. Who will work for Dr. Cain? Who will oil Dr. Lucca ' s roller skates? Who will spend his next two years shining up Dr. Herland ' s Sophomore technique model? And, who will be picked as Sam the Janitor ' s assistant? May we sum the whole year up in one word.

CLASS OF 1960 Like all other freshman classes, we are unique, intelligent, the ' cream of the crop ' . Note, for ex- ample, our list of firsts: First to be introduced into Dentistry with an ar- ray of luncheons, lectures, and cocktail parties. First with a complete survey of the cortico-spinal tract in four weeks. First to try the showers in Biochem. Lab. First to learn our Dental Technium as well as our theory in the first year. First to write our own anatomy midsemester. First to flunk our own anatomy midsemester. Of course, as Freudians say, the personality of the class is still in the oral stage of development. It is in the process of being formed from the many in- dividual personality traits that we find: Those who fight off sleep and study every night and those who cram the night before; those who commute from Jersey and Brooklyn and those who live across the street: the serious and the easy-going; the married and the single, the fat and the skinny, the various preconceived ideas of what is or is not dentistry, dental school, and the professional attitude. 62 Back Row: Henry J.

Michael Costanzo — Treasurer, Albert Thompson — Presi- dent, Henry Seligmann — Student Council Representative, Michael Diamond — Vice President. We are, so to say, an experimental class. The new program had many kinks in it, and admittedly, we were at first quite overwhelmed. At present, how- ever, as the haze of purple wax chips begins to clear, our perspective clears with it, and we are able to look back and laugh at the things once foremost in our minds. Things like new name tags, those first days in Anatomy lab., carbohydrate unknowns, thorax and abdomen, the shock of having to recarve a maxillary lateral, the autonomic nervous system, prosthetics Boxes, class finances, makeup, saliman- dus, weasels, femoral nerve, etc., etc. This combina- tion of activities and mishaps has produced friend- ships among us, which, (platitude though this is ) are the greatest wealth available. Almost in spite of itself, the new curriculum has indeed helped give us insight into what the future holds for us. We look forward to the years ahead when we will be able to perfect what we have learned and put it into practice. And maybe someday they will even allow the dental hygienists to talk to us. 63 see a Ford in your future. ' Real dentists for a change. The new look in freshmen.

The Student Council, designed to promote Stu- dent-Faculty cooperation, has advanced in stature until it now stands as a vital and constructive organi- zation. The growth and maturity of the Council is due to the active leadership of Arnold Max, Presi- dent, the quiet guidance of Dr. Joseph Cuttita, Fac- ulty Advisor, and the interest of its members. As Dentistry advances, dental education must un- dergo minor changes. At Council meetings, student opinions, problems and ideas are brought into the light, openly discussed and form the basis for later faculty meetings.

The dentist has an obligation to be a student throughout his professional life. His four years of dental education serves only as a sound foundation, a basis for the development and subsequent evalua- tion of new theories and new techniques. The Wil- liam Jarvie Society was founded with just such a goal in mind, the advancement of dental research. This year the Society formulated plans for a project to histologically study pulpal reactions following crown preparation. Dr. Barnet Levy 70 Somehow, from beneath the pile of unfinished crowns, inlays and dentures in locker 84. the 1957 DENTAL COLUMBIAN emerged as a completed work. A lot of sincere hard work went into this year- book. We have tried to treat each organization, each class, each department and each individual fairly. Naturally, a yearbook could not tell the whole story, would not be complete without some humor. Life it- self is not complete, not livable without some humor. It is our sincere hope that no one will be offended by what they find contained within the confines of these pages. The editors and staff are proud of their achievement and. I feel, justly so.

Psi Omega was founded at Baltimore College of Dental Surgery in 1892. From its original nucleus of four members, the fraternity has grown to a membership of over 25,000 in its alumni and under- graduate chapters making it the largest brotherhood in the field of dentistry. International in scope, Psi Omega is represented in twenty-nine countries of the world. The Gamma Lambda Chapter was established at Columbia University, School of Dental and Oral Surgery in 1906. Since its organization the chapter has striven to instill in its members a feeling of kin- ship and cooperation. Thru this attitude of coopera- tion many things out of reach of each individual have been made attainable. Because of the Frater, correspondence, and conventions, we have been able to contact other members of the fraternity throughout the world. Under the capable guidance of our Deputy Councilor, Dr. Edward Cain, and Assistant Deputy Councilor, Dr. John Lucca, we of Psi Omega have as a group tried to exert a posi- tive influence so that the profession of Dentistry would advance in its practice and in its high moral and ethical character. Hardly a month goes by without a Psi Omega social function. Smokers, dances, parties, initiations, banquets enable students to forget for a moment the hectic whirl of dental school and relax. But. these get-togethers are also intellectually profitable. Many of this year ' s meetings were sparked by guest lecturers speaking on some of the more interesting aspects of dentistry. We are proud of our fraternity. We are proud of its aims. We are proud of the ten young Gamma Lambdans about to take their rightful and well- earned places in the profession.

OMICRON KAPPA UPSILON The admission to membership in this national honorary Greek letter fraternity is made on the basis of professional maturity and integrity, as well as the attainment of outstanding scholastic achievement during the four years of dental education. To be selected as a recipient of this award should be a gratifying experience, especially if the history Dr. Edward Zegarelli Secretary -Treasurer of Omicron Kappa Upsilon is considered. The fra- ternity had its origin in June 26. 1913. in a petition from the class of 1914 of Northwestern Dental School. Their address was to the Dean of North- western, his name, G. V. Black. Through his efforts there were ten dental schools participating by 1915. At present there are forty-three component chapters. iUcn ueuicau ' d to liu: propoMlion uiai ai Yearbooks must ] e paid for . . . oil) SUBSCRIBERS Patronize llif !

Today, every dental student in the United States and Canada cuts his first teeth on Columbia Dento- forms, for we supply Dentoforms to every dental college in the United States and Canada, as well as in many other lands. In these 36 years, there have been many improvements and additions to Dentoforms to meet the ever more exacting demands of teachers. Today, Dentoforms number more than a thousand and present conditions that the student will encounter in practice. And in graduate years, Dentoforms continue to help clinicians in postgraduate education and to help the busy practitioner in his endless task of patient-education by showing the better dentistry he seeks to give.
