«£ Frederick Berlin A n ative of Flushing. N.Y. and a product of Columbia College. Fred came to us in 1956 as the holder of a N.Y. State Regents Scholarship. Always consistent in his scholastic excellence, Fred maintained the high standards he had set for himself at undergraduate school, and became a member of the William Jarvey Society as a Sophomore. In the following year he was granted a National Institute of Health Summer fellowship for research in the dental sciences, and was elected secretary of the William Jarvey Society. Finally, in Senior year, he was awarded a scholarship from the Women ' s Auxiliary of the Queens County Dental Society as the best Senior Student from Queens. Fred ' s outstanding academic achievements did not hinder his social activity. A member of the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity in college, he joined Alpha Omega when he came uptown, and was an active participant in all of its functions. Al- ways a center of attraction among his friends, he became the most envied senior of all when he announced his engagement to the charming and beautiful Judy Leopold, a nurse in our own Oral Surgery department. Fred is an avid follower of both the Opera and the on-and-off Broadway theater, and on more than one occasion he has been able to boast of being present at a new show ' s opening perform- ance. Upon graduation, Fred will spend a year as intern in the Long Island Jewish Hospital. Fol- lowing this he hopes to specialize in periodontia.

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 '

In Junior and Senior years lie was a part time Biology lab instructor at Adelphi ..:, his Aima Mater. Finally, in midseason of senior year, he married his fiancee Helene, thus climaxing his array of extracurricular activities. Undoubtedly a most dynamic individual, his ig personality won many friends for him. Continuing in the tradition of athletic participa- tion which was his trademark at Adelphi. he initiated the Beube-Diamond-Blum Golf Compe- tition and represented group one in the class hand- ball tournament. In Freshman and Sophomore years Howie chose not to commute from his home in Lynbrook. L.J., and so resided in an apartment near the school. This became a favorite study pad for one group of students, until some Second-Story men stripped Howie of his most valuable possessions, forcing him to join the trekkers of the Gran Central Parkway. After graduation, Howard would like to eTHW the U.S. Air Force. Subsequent to this 2-year period in the service he plans to specialize in Oral Surgery. s d J
