Bernard Jules Biron With characteristic calmness, Bernie has navigated his way, unruffled, through the four year dental course. His taciturnity belies his diligent application to his studies. In the clinic, his careful, deliberate manner has inspired patient confidence. Born in Antwerp, Belgium. Bernie now resides in Manhattan. He came to Columbia from New York University College of Arts and Science. Early recognition of the benefits of the Navy ' s Early Com- missioning Program prompted Bernie to sign up in the fresh- man year. This was in complete harmony with his interest in boating. He can be seen on balmy Sundays piloting his craft up the Hudson River. An active Alpha Omegan. Bernie and his wife. Debora, are always prepared to demonstrate their terpsichorial skill with a lively Mambo at fraternity dances. After two years of Navy Service, Bernie expects to enter private practice in the New ork City area. 25

Martin Asness J If we were to elect the man most likely to give Cary Middle- coff competition, our Max would be the one. A spring afternoon would often find Marty exercising his talents at the nearest golf course and there are few he has not played. The enthusiasm and proficiency shown in golf is equally mani- fest in Marty ' s enthusiasm and proficiency in dentistry. Outwardly unassuming, never loquacious, we were fortunate when he came to us from Columbia College on professional option. His ability has been recognized by both the Queens Dental Association from whom he has received a scholarship and by Dr. Herlands who selected him as his assistant. Marty ' s popularity with his patients is undoubtedly due to his relaxed, steady manner as well as to his technical capability. Interest in athletics has afforded Marty an opportunity to earn some money during summer vacations as golfing in- structor in a children ' s camp and during the school year as a basketball coach in an evening center. A number of the Alpha Omega Fraternity, Marty is planning to take an internship or enter the Armed Services following graduation. This he hopes will be followed by post-graduate study in dentistry. 24
