While clinic work was our major concern, there were still lecture notes to be taken. The Huntsman, down from the hills at 181st Street, interrupted his 6-day bike-race to lecture us on ethical behavior and legal ins and outs. Sen- ior lectures in Periodontia covered the more advanced problems of periodontal therapy, i.e., biopsy indications, prognosis in tooth mobility, fixed splinting, and treat- ment planning. With the burden of point requirements, partials, spe- cial assignments. State Boards, and preparation for post- graduation positions, the Senior year will best be remem- bered for the hectic spasticity that prevailed unabated throughout. Boys with carefree manner and gentle dis- positions in earlier years showed signs of the strain as often the only humor discernible was the giddiness that comes with overwork. With the end finally in sight, we strove to revitalize our sagging dispositions, while strug- gling through Roach Arms, Immediates, Class III foils, and State Board practice setups. Despite our trials and tribulations, it was a year of learning and experience. The staff ably drew upon our extensive preclinical science training to make the Senior year a logical culmination to our earlier education. To this, they added training in the most modern tech niques of dental practice, plus the personal instructor-student rela- tionship particular to Columbia. While we know that we still have much to learn, we are convinced that we have been prepared for it in the best possible manner. Ashley Brown Stephen Stambler Bernard Tolpin I 26

Victor C. Auth il ' nintii Vic , as he is best known to his classmates, came to us from N.Y.U. There, in addition to being a member of several organizations and Honor societies, he was Vice-president of the Fauchardian Society, and Senior Advisor to Pre- dental Students. After many spins on the commuter ' s merry-go- round, Vic finally surrendered and became a local resident. This afforded him vast opportuni- ties to concentrate upon his chosen career, and saved him from extinction when he began workings for the Luc . In his spare time Vic enjoys playing the violiu,. on which he performs with professional skill, and attends numerous concerts around New York. Unfortunately, he may very well be remembered by his classmates for the consistent manner in ' which he contracted most of the class ills, and compounded them into the most potent symptoms. Constant, well-directed attention to detail pro- cedure, and organization have made Vic one of the finer students in the class. It is certain that these qualities will quickly .lead him to realize his plans for a successful practice in New Jersey,!; and perhaps, one day, a prosthetics specialty. y 10 '
