You who will become the leaders in the dental profession tomorrow, must see that the profes- sion continues to meet, in the fullest, its technical, scien- tific and social responsibilities. As the responsibilities and demands increase, bear in mind that the people, through due process of law, have given the dental pro- fession a monopoly in the rendering of dental care and they can take it away when the profession fails to meet its responsibility. Section I of the Principle of Ethics states that the right of a dentist to professional status rests in the knowledge, skill, and experience with which he serves his patients and society. Every dentist has the obligation of keeping his knowledge and skill freshened by con- tinuing education through all of his professional life. _. t . 6 t piacutioner will u t . and those that do feel that this litetatute could be greatly and markedly improved. To an increasing degree, the availability of continu- ing education for the dental graduate and the extent to which this is utilized will influence the quality of the dental practice of the futute. Education is not only knowledge or the accumulation of facts but, rather, it is the ability to translate the accumulated facts and knowledge into service and skill. Education is not learn- ing for learning ' s sake but it is the training of the mind to think, to reason, to explore and to educate oneself so that there will be created a well of knowledge from which to draw inspiration, technique of performance and production. Those that have been taught that one must think, read, and relentlessly pursue the quest of knowledge, and that knowledge is latgely useless if not applied in the course of time are fortunate men and women. Dentistry may be defined as a health science primarily concerned with the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of the oral cavity and associated structures. One practices dentistry by virtue of the satisfactory com- pletion of required education, and thereupon the receipt of permission from the government to practice. With the assumption of this responsibility and privilege go in- escapable duties — the dentist ' s duty to the public, to his fellow practitionets, and to himself. Today, dentistry is being challenged not only to continue to develop its science, its research and its clinical practice but to see that dental care is made available to more and more of our people. To find the causes and cures for disease is a major goal of the health professions, but it is not the basic prob- lem today. This nation and its people are interested in se- curity both in the world of nations and the health world. In one way or another, man wants security from the disastrous impact of unexpected health costs. Unless social security in health is provided by private initiative an attempt will be made through some form of govern- ment care. The dental profession must join with the other health professions in guiding and counseling so- ciety as how best to solve the social and economic aspects of the health problem. For these reasons the dentist must stay ahead in his and his patients ' education. The dentist of tomorrow must become a member of a health team which is dedicated to the service of the patient. As an important member of that team it will be necessary for us to acquaint ourselves with the problems of the physician, the nurse, public health officer, dental hygienist and assistant so that we will have a thorough knowledge of the responsibilities and problems of those who serve with us. Percy Phillips, past president of the American Dental Associa tion, stated that to fulfill its responsibility to society and to survive as a profession, dentistry must call on all its priceless ingredients: honesty, integrity, professional independence, maintenance of the high quality of dental service, continuing study, expansion of dental research, the clinical application of the findings of research, and observance of our code of ethics. CARL E. RODENBURG Editor in Chief DEDICATION AUSTIN H. KUTSCHER A.B., D.D.S. Ass ' t Prof, of Dentistry If we who are about to conclude our formal dental education will pause for a moment and ask ourselves who will be responsible for enriching our practices with the new and miraculous wonder drugs, the improved methods of treatment, and the host of other advanced dental techniques which we hope to acquire as we con- tinue our dental education, we will not hesitate to think of those seemingly tireless individuals who have literally dedicated their lives to the advancement of dentistry through research. It is to one of these men, Assistant Professor Austin H. Kutscher, that the Class of 1961 proudly dedicates its Dental Columbian. Over the past four years all of us have marvelled at the drive, dedication, and inspirational qualities em- bodied in Dr. Kutscher. He has instilled in each of us a keen interest and appreciation for dental research and has placed this vital aspect of dentistry in its proper perspective. His vast knowledge of therapeutics, much of which was gained through his own observations and painstaking research, was presented to us in a series of stimulating lectures in our junior year. Dr. Kutscher has devoted full time to dental research since giving up his own private practice several years ago and has been faculty adviser to the William Jarvie Society. Through his efforts this society has become, in the past few years, a valuable and dynamic adjunct in the field of under- graduate research, a purpose for which the organization was originally founded but for some reason had become mired in a held of indifference. Dr. Kutscher earned his A.B. from New York Uni- versity and received his D.D.S. from Columbia in 1946. After brief internships at Memorial Hospital and the Guggenheim Dental Clinic, he was appointed to the staff of the School of Dental and Oral Surgery as a Research Assistant in December, 1947. Since that time Dr. Kutscher has held attending positions at the Pres- byterian, Francis Delafield, and New Rochelle Hospi- tals. He has been on the editorial staffs of various dental and scientific journals in New York State and Connecti- cut and has been the Associate Editor of the New York State Dental Journal since 1951. He is presently the editor of the new Journal of Clinical Stomatology Con- ferences published here at Columbia University. Dr. Kutscher has also been extremely active as a member and officer in various societies and research organiza- tions including O.K.U., the New York Academy of Science, the International Association for Dental Re- search, the American Medical Writers Association, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. With all of his activities we feel that Dr. Kutscher is the only man who actually works 25 hours a day. To top it off he depends on the Pennsylvania Railroad to carry him home each day to his lovely wife Helene and their three sons, Harlan, Austin Jr., and Martin. Even on the train he cannot afford to catch up on lost sleep for fear that one nap too many will carry him far past New Brunswick to the outskirts of Philadelphia. It is reliably reported that Dr. Kutscher occasionally offers his family a taste of his Chinese creations which are the epitome of his culinary accomplishments. Thus it is to you, Dr. Kutscher, that our class shows its appreciation and gives its sincere thanks for your friendship, guidance, devotion, and inspiration to us and for the entire profession. GRAYSON KIRK, Ph.D., LLD. President of the University ADMINISTRATION To the members of the Class of 1961, my sincere congratulations upon the passing of an important milestone in your professional lives! It has not been an easy road for any of you and the degree for which you have strived has been hard won and well earned. The selection of Continuing Education in Den- tistry as your yearbook ' s central theme is appropriate and well timed in this day and age when changes in all aspects of dentistry are o ccurring so rapidly that the very thought of trying to keep abreast is stagger- ing. That you recognize the necessity of continued learning, not only through experience but also through more formal methods, points to your understanding of the responsibilities of the professional man. During your four years in the Dental School you have worked diligently and each one of you has sacrificed a great deal to achieve your goal. You have acquired a strong foundation of ideals and an understanding of con- temporary methods upon which your professional career will be built. If there is a student who feels that he has learned enough in his undergraduate years of dental education to conduct a practice which is both awarding to him and in which his patients can place their utmost trust and confidence, he is a rarity. On the other hand, most of you realize that the training you have rece ived at Columbia has not only provided the basic tools of your profession but has also given to you an acute awareness of how much more there is to learn, and we hope it has created a desire in you to continue your education through every means avail- able. Throughout your years at Columbia you have also come to realize that this training has been one of quality and excellence. How you develop from here on is entirely up to you. If you rest upon your training, you will probably become enslaved in a dental prac- tice with perhaps adequate monerary compensation but lacking in inspiration and satisfaction to you. However, if you not only uphold the high standards that have been set for you but continually strive to improve them through continuing education, then your life, your school, your profession, and society as a whole will benefit immeasurably. Remember always, the close bond that should exist between Columbia and her alumni — they are and will be judged together. The School will be only as good as her graduates, and the graduates will stand on the reputation of the School. It is our sincere desire that this bond be maintained by all of you through active participation in the affairs of the alumni and of the Dental School. To the Class of ' 61, on behalf of everyone asso- ciated with Columbia, we extend our best wishes and a hope that your future will be happy, rewarding and full of progress! Dr. Gilbert P. Smith DR. GILBERT P. SMITH, D.D.S. Prof, of Dentistry Dean of Faculty Director, Division of Restorative Dentistry PREFACE q JOSEPH C. DE LISI Ass ' t Clinical Prof, of Dentistry Every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. Therefore, by their fruits you will know them. Matthew, Chap. 7 The graduating class has selected for the theme of their Dental Columbian 1961, Continuing Education in Dentistry. This concept, like the season of spring, is not new, but warmly welcomed. The faculty looks proudly and hopefully to the graduates. We have planted a seed in each of you. We have cultivated you and provided an environment favorable to growth. This has been a labor of love and sacrifice. Your faculty looks upon you now, not as the fruits of our labor (or your labor) — but as the buds. The fruits will come after the buds have blossomed. Your awareness of this need to continue your educa- tion is the distinguishing characteristic in the analogy between you, the budding dentist and the budding tree. It is such awareness that distinguishes mankind from the other biological wonders insofar as it implies pur- pose, intelligence, a sense of responsibility — and a con- science. Man ' s actions, yours and mine, do not go un- noticed. They may be subject to praise or blame, freedom or restrictions. In this great country of ours, we talk of freedom to think and say and do things. In fact, we are guaranteed these rights. However, we correctly rec- ognize the limitations and restraints on the freedom of some of our actions. This regulation we accept because it can be argued that the principles of anarchy and totalitarianism can best be served when mankind has 100% pure freedom. Consider for example, such state- ments as I am a free man, subject to no one ' s authority. I shall do as I please and no authority exists to stop me. There is no law — I am the law. Or perhaps, I want this nation and its wealth; I shall take it! Or even closer to home, I want this education, this degree or this specialty for what it can do for me. The pages of his- tory condemn this type of thinking and the usual suffer- ing and enslavemenr that invariably follows. Such in- dividuals are selfish. They take far more than they intend to give. They are usually irresponsible and do nothing to enhance the true dignity of man. Though freedom and justice, on occasion, can be dis- torted to work in opposite directions, certainly in the broad sense we know that liberty and justice for all are happy partners in our democracy. So too, may edu- cation and morality be either frustrating to each other or supplementary. We may seek to further our educa- tion, our knowledge and our skills, because it is our responsibility to do so — or we may do so, like Nietzsche, motivated by the ultimate goal of personal power. Is it because we want to take or because we are going to give? And so to the graduating class: We are grateful to you for your serious thoughts on continuing your edu- cation. We ask you to examine your motives and your responsibilities. We hope you will find the practice of dentistry a rewarding one both materially and spirit- ually. As President Kennedy said in concluding his inaugural address, With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessings and His help, but knowing that here on earth God ' s work must truly be our own. Joseph C. De Lisi, D.D.S. Faculty Advisor IN MEMORIAM DR. GEORGE A. SCHWENDENER 1899-1960 Doctor George Schwendener was born in Buchs St. Gallon, Switzerland, on July 20, 1899- His aspirations to become a dentist were realized after graduation from Ecole de Chirugie Dentaire et de Stomatologic in Paris. After coming to the United States he entered Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery and attained his degree in 1935. The years from graduation to 1951 were spent in a most gratifying and successful private practice with some two years of that time teaching at Columbia. He was an active member of the First District Dental So- ciety in Manhattan. In 1951 Doctor Schwendener gave up private practice and re-entered his much loved teach- ing position at Columbia. He devoted his full time in- structing in the Prosthetic Department until 1959, attaining the rank of assistant professor. He also became a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon dental fraternity. His decision to retire and enjoy a deserved vacation w ith his lovely wife Florence ended all too soon in the moun- tains of Colorado amid the sparkling trout brooks which he enjoyed so much. Doctor Schwendener leaves behind an image and example which every individual strives for in a lifetime. His kindness and sincere friendship to his students, col- leagues, and all who knew him has left us with cher- ished memories. 1 t FACULTY PRECLINICAL SCIENCES The conclusion of your formal undergraduate dental education represents the attainment of a plateau in your professional development. Your efforts during the ensu- ing years will determine whether you rise above or de- cline from this plateau. If, during rhe next five years, your practice experience is limited, you may tend to lose some of the diagnostic acuity and thetapeutic ability you now possess. ' To prevent any decrement in your profes- sional skills necessitates a real appreciation of their in- evitable loss unless you work to prevent their loss. W. M.

Curt Proskauer, D.M.D., Curator of Museum Actually to enhance your level of professional at- tainment is a much more difficult undertaking. It can be done, however, if you have matured sufficiently to recog- nize the limitations to your knowledge imposed by hav- ing spent only four years in formal professional educa- tion. Unfortunately there are many areas where your exposure to a given subject has had to be confined to fundamentals rather than to an exploration of the subject in depth. Your ability to treat patients with complex oral problems is severely limited at the conclusion of your formal education. To prepare yourself properly to meet the challenge of any type of oral problem requires con- tinuous additional training. There is a danger, however, in merely accepting additional training in any of its available forms. Passive acceptance of the literature, or course-content, can result in distorted concepts of diag- nosis and treatment. To prevent this, you must utilize your ability to be critical. Do not accept the word of an authority ' without a critical analysis of the evidence presented. Test the basis for conclusions by carefully- following the logic of an argument after you have satis- fied yourself as to the acceptability of the evidence upon which the conclusions are based. When you start to treat patients in private practice you will quickly realize the areas in which you are most deficient. Let this stimulate you to further study rather than force you to narrow the scope of your practice. From my own experience, I woulri suggest that addi- tional training in the diagnosis and treatment of peri- odontal disease is of prime importance. Increasing your understanding of periodontia will be reflected in a more sound approach to many of the cases of oral disability which you will meet in general practice. Maintaining a working knowledge of basic science subjecrs requires special emphasis. There is no doubr that the significant advances in the understanding of etiology, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of oral disease must be predicated upon sound concepts derived from the basic sciences. Unless you pursue the literarure actively, you may become prey to inadequately supported concepts. It is your professional responsibility to continue to read and study in the basic disciplines so that you may be able to contribute to the advancement of dentistry. The pursuit of technical competence, alone, pro- duces a technician, while the constant acquisition of knowledge produces a professional man. Dr. Herbert J. Bartehtone Magnus I.

Prof. The Staff of the Restorative Division extends its sincere congratulations to the Class of 1961 upon completion of the prescribed course of study. We hope that our basic objectives have been attained and that you have acquired a useful core of principles and skills. Teaching and learning cannot stop here. It would be a sad commentary on dental education if you, as a group, were not stimulated to study, read, write, and participate in the never- ending search for answers to the problems of oral health and disease. Teachers by tradition are presumed to be dogmatic and authoritarian. Their self-confidence, bred by skill, experience, and success, may impart to the student the false impression that there are no problems as yet unsolved. We hope this is not the case at Columbia. The Staff of the Restorative Division has always invited and encouraged your participation in the search for information and its application. We regret that the pressures of an overcrowded curriculum have precluded an even greater utilization of a well-accepted principle of edu- cation — that learning occurs in direct proportion to the mental activity of the learner. We appreciate the need for more inde- pendent study, more extra-curricular reading, research and writing — in other words, a greater development of the mental resources and a greater intellectual effort on the parr of the student. To keep abreast of new developments, to evaluate new materials and techniques, to render an optimally beneficial professional service to patients, you must continue your dental education. This education need not be along formal lines, nor in traditional areas. Participation in Dental Society section and committee work, hospital service, oral health community efforts and allied activities provide opportunities for education in a broader sense and give the graduate an awareness of his relationship to the public, whom he is dedicated to serve.

But the exercising of a privilege in any area of human relations carries with it a duty or re- sponsibility to society. So too with the privilege of practicing dentistry — you do automatically assume an associated obliga- tion to your patients. One of the incumbent obligations is that of continuing your education — continuing it as long as you remain in the practise of dentistry. Four years of learning dentistry as an undergraduate should be viewed as merely an excellent start. Surely, even the most learned and skilled amongst you must realize that your dental school can be expected to supply only fundamentals of a pro- fession — that there is much more which has not been taught. Add to this the fact that advances and progress in our profes- sion — both technical and scientific — are almost daily occur- rences and one must necessarily conclude that learning must be continuous. The public — your patients — have a right to expect that you, the family dentist, will be aware of, will be familiar with or prepared to supply the best professional health services. Not only have they this right but, more important, you are under obligation to possess this knowledge by virtue of being a member of a health profession. You cannot escape this inherent responsibility of con- stantly learning, of continually striving to improve your knowledge and skills. By so doing, you not only fulfill your obligation to society but you also become a worthy member of a worthy profession. The members of the Division of Stomatology extend to you our best wishes as well as offer the hope that you will live up to the high standards of our profession. Dr. Edward V.

Savoy, B.S., D.D.S., Clin. Prof, of Dent. Continuing education has always been one of the bench marks of a truly professional man. Today, more than ever before, the de- mands of an ever expanding science and technology in dentistry along with the increasing social pressures assure the health profes- sional that he will never reach the point where he can relax in his pursuit of new knowledge and skills but will, at best, spend his entire professional life in becoming this type of individual. Truly the dentist generally and those with a special or limited interest in oral surgery have attained full stature in the health pro- fessions. As an integral component of the health professions the dentist then can not avoid his responsibility for pursuing the truth continually. He must pursue the truth in the art and science of dentistry, the truth in the biologic sciences, and the truth in the cultural development of man. DR. RUDOLPH H.

Dl SALVO, B.S., D.D.S., Ph.D., Prof, of Dentistry, Director, Division of Orthodontics ORTHODONTICS Continuing education in dentistry generally takes one of two forms. One has to do with keeping abreast of developments in theory and technics of general practice; the other deals with the acquisition of new knowledge required for specialty practice. Not all of us will be concerned with the latter but, if the efforts of your instructors during the pasc tour years have achieved their objective, all of you will be keenly aware of your responsibility to main- tain your proficiency in all phases of practice in which you will be performing. In many ways this presents more of a challenge than preparing for a specialty, for in the latter case there are usually specially prepared university curricula for which the student merely enrolls. On the other hand, keeping current your present fund of knowledge requires individual effort and self discipline. During your career there will be many opportunities to do this, and it is only necessary that you recognize and exploit them. Whatever the method you choose to continue your education be sure to begin immediately. If you delay even for only a year, the process of stagnation will begin and the chances of reversing it become slimmer with each passing year bringing mediocrity as the inevitable result.

ROSENSTEIN, B.S., D.D.S., Professor of Dentistry Dentistry is entering an era of progress more dynamic than ever before. Our profession is becoming alert to the powerful and different needs for the future in order to serve our changing society effectively. It is in transition, ready to alter its contour and purpose, according to the influences of these needs. In pedodontics as in other branches of dentistry there is a broadening of the horizon, necessitated by the multitude of services demanded for the important and large young age group of our expanding population. Preventive dentistry represents the service of major significance and advances are being made rapidly in this essential area. The modern graduate who wishes to remain modern must continue his formal learning at the various levels of postgraduate instruction. Only in this way can he keep pace with the sound advances in prevention and other aspects of pedodontic service and apply them directly in his daily practice for children. DR. SOLOMON N.

We want to express our gratitude to all members of per- sonnel of the School of Dental and Oral Surgery for their exceptional cooperation in the performance of their duties. Their wonderful efforts have helped make our school an effi- cient organization. Each member of personnel in their re- spective position has been instrumental in achieving this result. Without the assistance of the clerical, technical, and adminis- trative staff no business or school functions with any degree of efficiency. Every member of personnel of the dental school focus their attention on the needs of the student with the knowledge that in assisting him perform his clerical, technical, and other responsibilities they are also furthering better dental education. f, % A i Seated, Left to Right: Mrs. Rose Tarantino, Mrs. Josephine Lamas, Mrs. Constance Scarvalone, Miss Marliese Roehrig, Mrs. Doris Tormes, Miss Joan Graham.

A The pre-game ceremonies began sometime in Sep- tember, 1957, with grand pep talks from distinguished members of the pre-clinical coaching staff. To many of the forty members of the team who suddenly found themselves at the kick-off of their chosen profession, these words at that time may have seemed to be unre- lated to a dental career. What did all this forthcoming study of kidney and liver cells have to do with a tooth- ache? Who cared about the anatomy of the gluteus maximus? (From a dental standpoint. ) At any rate, we tried power plays to get through microscopic anatomy but injuries ran rampant. Thanks to a good trainer and coach everyone survived with nothing more than badly bruised stratified squamous epithelium and protruding eyeballs. Many a ligament was torn in gross anatomy but fortunately the age of our opponents made it easy to score. We were playing the belly series at the right time but the head and neck plays may have served us better later in the game. The opposition was tough, however, and it kept throwing in such razzle-dazzlers as embryology, biochemistry, and some strange options such as dental anatomy, C and B, and operative, just to give us a hint of what was to come. During a couple of time-outs the coach sent in neuroanatomy and dental materials but our signals got crossed somewhere in the pons and the referee tossed in a gutta percha football. The first period ended with several of the boys stagger- ing from exhaustion brought on from breaking training and one was knocked so senseless he left to study Greek. All of us had heard from the shock troops who had played this game before that the second period was the roughest, toughest, and meanest, and anyone who let up for a minute would be carried out of the Dean ' s office on his burlew. It started out in typical fashion with broken down handpieces, centuries-old slides, and worn out Joe Dandys. Microbiology had us running laterally across the field so all we could do was punt and hang on. It was at this point that the other team used dirty tactics and completely ruined our cultures, not to men- tion the poor rabbits who gave up their carrots to prove virus pneumonia was intimately connected with caries. About midway in the second period the opponents pulled out all stops and hit the team with everything but Pierre Fauchard ' s denture in the form of pharma- cology. They even went so far as to call signals in some strange language at times. Our offense bogged down completely and our bodies were spewing out acetylcho- line instead of epinephrine, adrenergic nerves became cholinergic, smooth muscle became striated, and signals became completely botched up in the sympathetic cen- tral autonomics. 25 Pathology came along about this time and we tesorted to drawing our plays on paper. The team split in a vote taken to determine who would be on the all-opponent team — coccidioidomycosis or tsutsu- gamushi fever. Brustein led the cheering in favor of the latter. Physiology gave us some insight into the func- tions of a nerve fiber and proved that a toothache is caused by a red-dogging sodium ion busting through center while the offensive potassium ion skirted the end. This apparently set up some sort of chain reaction which ended when everybody collided with the goal post in the cerebrum. A sudden downpour made everything a bit muddy toward the end of the first half and periodontology was sent in to clean cleats. At this point we took ten time-outs to determine the history, make, type, and shape of the shoe and on the last play we cleaned two cleats. Coach Arden and his staff showed us the funda- mentals of the bite wing formation with special empha- sis on the importance of a lateral position when the defense was in protrusive. The operative staff, led by head coach Cain, drilled us in the I, II, III, IV, and V formation plays and reiterated the necessity for prop- erly plugging holes in order to foil the state board referee. We were told that all the skull practice and scrimmaging with dummies would assure success in the field. The team heaved a great sigh of relief during the half as we counted noses and discovered only one cas- ualty. The third period found us running around in a circle but enjoying it immensely. Fumbles ran rampant but no one seemed to give a rubber dam except, per- haps, the patients. We sliced through guards, soldered a lot of mistakes, tore up a lot of turf, and occasionally exposed a quarterback, but somehow we scored a few points. Nervousness gave way to confidence but the backfield speed was still limited as we entered the fourth and final quarter. The coaches advised us ( or maybe it was rumors ) that we needed about 600 or more field goals in opera- tive and about 43 touchdowns in crown and bridge, plus an assortment of fancy plays in prosthetics. This added up to a lot of work with insufficient time, and to make matters worse, the commissioner ordered no work dur- ing time-outs. A 15 point penalty was invoked on all those found scrimmaging after hours. The fans found out that they had to pay a higher admission price for all this and while it did not affect the quality of play, it did dampen their enthusiasm and limit their numbers a bit. The team began to poop out around the middle of the last quarter and besides aching feet, the nerves be- came a little frazzled. Points were being scored all over the place and in the melee that followed the opponents threw in one last desperate defense — the long pin facing. And so it went — a tedious, difficult, frustrating, yet enjoyable four years. The scrimmage is over, the game is ahead. Let ' s play it as we were taught and the rewards will be great.

Allenby Stratford ' s answer to the big city came to Columbia from Fairfield University where he majored in biology and received a Bachelor of Science degree. Bob ' s exceptional ability was recognized early by students and faculty members alike. He was elected to the William Jarvie Society in his Sophomore year and has been an assistant to Dr. Portway. During his Senior year Bob served as vice president of the Jarvie Society and was an active member of Psi Omega. Weekends found Bob in the fair state of Connecticut where he somehow found time to construct the Allenby- Crosley, a red fiberglass miniature Corvette sports car. This project was completed between time spent giving piano lessons and courting his lovely fiancee, Nancy. Immediately following graduation Bob and Nan will be married. After completion of military service Bob intends to set up a general practice. 28 Arthur Ashman Art came to Columbia after three years of under- graduate school at Queens College, where he earned his B.S. degree on Professional Option. At college, he played trombone with the Queens College Symphony and Long Island Symphony Orchestras, as well as leading his own jazz band for a number of years. Art also participated in varsity baseball and basketball. In dental school, Art received a scholarship from the Association of Dental Alumni, and was an assistant to Dr. Herlands. He has been an active member of Alpha Omega, a member of the Dental Columbian staff during his Junior and Senior years, has done research with Dr. Kutscher, and has been the Associate Editor of the new Journal of Clinical Stomatology Conferences. To help keep the exchequer solvent, Art worked as an attendant at the Psychiatric Institute. His post-graduate plans include an Oral Surgery in- ternship at Bronx Municipal Hospital, followed by Army service and private practice. 29 Henry Barnaby, Jr. Often seen, seldom heard, is a tall, easy-going guy we call Hank. His watch words seemed to be, a time and place for everything. When at work Hank was the epitome of quiet efficiency, when at play — well, just go to a party with him. Hank came to Columbia after spending three under- graduate years at Franklin and Marshall College. Here at Columbia, his fine clinical work and a New York State Regents Scholarship attested to his proficiency as a student. Hank served on the Student Council and was elected the Senior Secretary of Psi Omega, the fraternity he had also served as an Executive Council member for three years. Never one to hang around the lab, when work was done Hank was off to see his charming wife Martine and his recently arrived son, Hank III. Plans after graduation seem to be a toss up between the U.S. Public Health Service and the U.S. Army. Hank then intends to set up a genetal practice. 30 Paul R. Bjorklund Paul ' s main occupation seemed to be commuting daily from far out in the hinterlands of Hicksville, Long Island. In his spare time here at Columbia, he also managed to excel in both his clinical and academic en- deavors. He was Dr. Cain ' s assistant in the summer of 1959 and became a member of the William Jarvie So- ciety in his sophomore year. Paul served as class Sec- retary-Treasurer for two years and senior Vice President as well as Literary Editor and cartoonist of the Dental Columbian. After receiving a Bachelor of Arts from Dartmouth College in 1949, Paul ' s career was both varied and in- teresting. He was awarded a teaching fellowship in zoology for one year at his alma mater and subsequently spent a year teaching high school biology. He left teaching in 1951 and became a Special Agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for slightly more than six years with assignments in Texas and New York. Paul is married and is the proud father of eight year old Paul Jr. and five year old Kristin. He claims that his dental aspirations would never have materialized without the help and sacrifice of his wonderful wife Ginny. Following graduation Paul plans to practice general dentistry on Long Island. 31 David D. Brustein Dave commenced his higher education at the Uni- versity of Nebraska, in what was undoubtedly an at- tempt to escape city life. Being a loyal New Yorker, however, he entered Columbia after three years at Brooklyn ' s St. Francis College, where his outstanding undergraduate record resulted in his selection as a mem- ber of the Duns Scotus Honor Society. Initially, Dave impressed us as the perpetual first man to early classes and the owner of one of the finest sets of notes in existence. Early in his freshman year Dave joined Alpha Omega and was elected Treasurer in his senior year. He was also a Student Council repre- sentative for two years and the pioneering president of Columbia ' s chapter of the Junior A.D.A. Dave was elected to William Jarvie membership in his fourth year. Following graduation Dave plans a general practice and further work in Stomatology and Diagnosis at Dela- field Hospital. After a year he plans to be married to Lynn Landau, a lovely young lady who came to the attention of the class in the senior year. 32 Joseph P. Casale Before coming to Columbia, Joe made quite an aca- demic reputation at Iona College where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology and was listed in Who ' s Who in American Colleges. This young man subsequently demonstrated his great efficiency, ability, and speed in the clinic where he seemed to specialize in complex mouth rehabilitation. Since his second year Joe has been an active member of Psi Omega and those attending the meetings bene- fited greatly from his words of wisdom. It was during his association with Drs. Sherman and Fiasconaro and the pain threshold experiments that he met Theresa Vertucci, so it is understandable that this period of his life at Columbia will be well remem- bered. Joe and Terry plan an early June marriage with a honeymoon that will terminate at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, where Lt. Casale will embark on the first lap of a two year commitment with the United States Army. After discharge from rhe service, Joe plans to either associate or enter private practice. 33 r Coming from the land of pine trees and lobsters, Sewall fast acclimated himself to the big city life and excitement. Born in Bangor, Maine, Sewall received his college education at both Tufts University and the University of Maine, where he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1955. For two years he worked as a re- search assistant in Cancer Research at the New England Medical Center in Boston. While at college, he served as an officer of Tau Epsilon Phi Fraternity and was active in sports. His hobby is playing the clarinet in his spare time, but at this writing he is far from being another Benny Good- man. During his four years at Columbia, Sewall served as Vice President and President of Alpha Omega Fra- ternity. In his junior year he was chairside assistant to Dr. Herlands and in this capacity gained a great deal of knowledge and experience. After graduation, Sewall plans to take an internship or enter military service. Eventual plans call for a private practice in his native state of Maine. 34 Stewart M. Chodosch A banana at lunch each day is the secret of Stu ' s suc- cess. This daily banana is given credit for his election to such Alpha Omega offices as Junior Secretary in 1959- 1960 and Corresponding Secretary in his Senior year. Stu came to Columbia from N.Y.U. where he was a member of Phi Sigma Delta and the Freshman track team. This latter training served him well in the clinic where his quick and sometimes frantic paces were ob- served. Stu was always ready with a quick smile or a story about anything from ball scores to his experience at a federal reformatory where he spent a summer under a U.S. Public Health Service grant. Stu, a bachelor, was a popular addition to the Friday evening Alpha Omega socials. All good things must end, however, and Stu will accept a commission in the army. Stu has no definite plans following military serv- ice but if he is still a bachelor, he may once again join the Friday socials. 35 Paul, a native of Brooklyn, attended St. John ' s Uni- versity, where he majored in Biology and received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1957. Immediately after his arrival at Columbia, Paul ' s natural wit came to light and earned for him the un- disputed title of class humorist. During the trials and tribulations of the second year Paul ' s priceless and per- fectly timed remarks did much to relieve the tension which had built up in the class as a whole. Needless to say, his easy going and relaxed manner had the same effect on his patients, and these traits, coupled with a genuinely serious attitude toward good dentistry, will assure Paul ' s professional success. Paul is a member of Psi Omega and manages to be up on the various dances throughout town. How long his bachelorhood remains is questionable but he does make good use of his professional tenor voice marrying off his friends at church weddings. As a Second Lieu- tenant in the U.S. Army, Paul attended the weekly re- serve meetings where he was occasionally observed giv- ing lectures on such topics as Army Water Supplies. After graduation and two years in the army, Paul plans to enter private practice in general dentistry. 36 William S. Dudzinsky Bill came to Columbia from the University of Notre Dame where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in 1957. During the first two years Bill commuted from his home in Palisade, New Jersey. During his Sopho- more year Bill met Susan Pearson, a Dental Hygienist, to whom he was married in June, 1959- Since their mar- riage, Bill and Susie have resided in North Bergen, New Jersey, and the commuting problem remained unsolved. Bill is known to many of his fellow students for his easy going manners and exceptionally calm attitude in the face of disaster. His hobby of model building seems to have given Bill a gteat deal of help in attain- ing a high degtee of skill in dentistry. Bill joined Psi Omega in his Sophomore year and has been active in all fraternity functions along with his wife. Following graduation. Bill plans to entet the United States A rmy. His eventual goal is to set up a private general practice. 37 I Harris Friedman Harris would possibly be the one to single out as the individual who was least likely rattled in the face of impending doom in the guise of exams, technique deadlines, and sundry other disturbing situations. In the typical class uproar which frequently occurred under these conditions, Harris usually gave the impression, outwardly at least, of not having undue concern. This should help him graduate with less than the average amount of aggravation experienced by his classmates. Harris graduated from Alfred University in 1956 with a Bachelor of Arts. He worked as a junior chemist at the Kings County Hospital for a year before entering dental school. His summers were spent in the dining room of one of the Catskills ' better hotels. Harris ' immediate plans call for an internship in oral surgery at Cumberland Hospital. After that he will probably heed the beck and call of Uncle Sam. 38 Marvin Goldberg Marvin will be well remembered by our class for his light hearredness and good nature. This was shown mainly by the vast amount of humor he gave to us in four years of association. Marvin, being a generous per- son, was always willing to let you use the equipment he borrowed from you two weeks before. He was also hon- orable, maintaining the highest possible standards for his clinical work. Combining these qualities with his anxious quest for knowledge, his ability for self-organ- ization, and his business acumen, we find the ingredients for a very successful practice. Marvin came to Columbia from one of the main training grounds for students of the professions — the Heights Campus of N.Y.U. where he received his A.B. in 1957. He is currently a bachelor although he has many lovely young lady friends. Marv spent his summers gaining valuable laboratory experience in his father ' s dental office. His immediate plans call for a two year association with the United States Army where he will undoubtedly astound the brass with his own original techniques. 39 Allen R. Heifer Our four years togerher have been made pleasant by the warm engaging smile of Al Heifer, and to use one of his pet expressions, You ' d better believe it. champ! Shortly after entering Columbia his classmates elected him Vice President of the freshman class. Al came to us from Yeshiva University where he played varsity basketball for the Mighty Mites and com- piled an admirable scholastic record as well as field goal percentage. Helf is a Brooklyn boy and so one full month of every year was spent underground on the subway learn- ing how to get along with people. Our dauntless lad, however, found the time to strive for perfection in the classroom and the clinic. His overall scholastic ability was officially recognized by his election to the William Jarvie Society. Al is married and his wife Beverly will shortly have a little graduation gift of their own to present to the world. Al has decided to associate following graduation and both his proficiency and charm should insure a successful career. 40 Robert Jarsky Bob is one of our Brooklyn contingent. As a member of that hardy group he has braved the elements, the subways, and the crowded parkways to reach our hal- lowed corridors. Once he arrived, Bob was a valuable asset to fellow classmates in search of a better method to perform any dental procedure. His command of the theoretical and technical aspects of dentistry has been obtained by much dedicated and hard work. When studying was in order Bob studied, and the night before examinations found him sound asleep at a reasonable hour. Bob came to Columbia after three years spent at N.Y.U. where he was a member of the Fauchardian Dental Society and a leading scholar in the biological disciplines. Bob is now a Second Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Reserve and upon graduation he will receive a silver bar in that organization. When his service is completed Bob plans to enter general practice. 41 Sanford Krotenberg Sandy was an outstanding member of the BMT Trans- portation Club, a group devoted to the philosophical contemplation of stalled trains. The time spent in medi- tation may be the reason Sandy has attained scholastic eminence in our class. He was elected to the William Jarvie Society at the end of the freshman year, at which time the Newark Alpha Omega Alumni Chapter award- ed him their Outstanding Freshman Award. Sandy came to us from Brooklyn College where he earned a cum laude Bachelor of Arts degree in biology and was a recipient of a New York State Regents Schol- arship. At our institution Sanford was a leading proponent of the Non-Spastic Theory of dental education. No late hours at school for this young lad when his beautiful red-headed wife Joan awaited him at home. Despite this admirable distraction Sandy has produced quality dental restorations and meticulous notebooks open to all who required accurate and neat information. The Dental Columbian has made use of his talents on its literary staff. Sandy intends to fulfill his service obligations and then enter private practice in the metropolitan area. 42 Edward L. Ladin After receiving his Bachelor of Science degree from Holy Cross, Ed quickly became established as a student who got things done in a quiet and efficient way. During his Sophomore year Ed was a chairside assistant to Dr. Portway and during the third and fourth years he worked for Dr. Zegarelli. During the summer of his Junior year Ed received a Public Health Fellowship for research work. He was actively engaged in the affairs of Psi Omega and always kept up a running comment on the fortunes of his alma mater in the field of football, baseball, and basketball. As a proud suburbanite hailing from Westchester, Ed often gave enthusiastic accounts of sailing on Long Island Sound. During the hunting and fishing seasons the State of Maine found Ed within its boundaries look- ing for that elusive fish, the size and fighting ability of which only a fisherman can describe. Ed plans to enter an internship followed by service in the armed forces before settling down to a private practice. 43 Robert T. Lalor Bob came to Columbia equipped with a Bachelor of Science from Notre Dame and a New York State Re- gents Scholarship. Since his equipment also included definite convictions, a flair for polemics, and a well developed sense of humor, it was only natural that he became a frequent participant in the Great Debate series, now ending its fourth consecutive year. Bob also found time for membership in Psi Omega and has become an enthusiastic flyer of light planes as well as a photography bug. Many issues of Aviation magazine were well read by Bob during some of the morning lectures. Of late, however, his principal interest has been Adriana, his much photographed fiancee, to whom he will be married in early June. Bob also served as Dr. Portway ' s assistant during Junior year. After graduation. Bob will stamp out disease and boredom for the Public Health Service following which, he intends to set up practice in some spot per- mitting him to enjoy the great outdoors. 44 Eugene P. LaSota Without further ado we will let Gene ' s record speak for itself. Gene entered Columbia after receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree from Hofstra in 1957. Prior to this time he served for four years in the U.S. Navy as an airborne electronics technician with the rank of petty officer, second class. Gene ' s popularity among his classmates was substan- tiated by his election as Secretary-Treasurer of our class in the freshman year and subsequently as class President in the sophomore, junior, and senior years. He has served on the Student Council for three years and held the offices of Vice-President and President. Gene was most active in Psi Omega and served as its Editor, Junior Grand Master, and then as Grand Master. For three years he was Dr. De Lisi ' s able assistant and he is a holder of a New York State Regents Scholarship. His undergraduate activities at Hofstra and his academic and clinical records at Columbia have been equally impressive. Gene spent the summers as a waterfront director at a children ' s camp and his vast variety of active hobbies and interests would be full time occupations for most men. He is a Student Editor of Journal of Clinical Stomatology Conferences. After graduation Gene plans to intern at Philadelphia General Hospital. 45 Walt has been the true Mr. Ivy of the senior class. One can not speak to him without visualizing his marks of distinction — the crewneck sweater and the Barnard notebook. Of course Walt ' s wife, Billie, holds true to form as a charming ivy leaguer, having been graduated from Barnard. In his undergraduate days Walt distinguished himself as the infamous Lion at all the Columbia football games. Being both a member of the university swim- ming team and the 150 pound football squad, Walt showed his true interest in sports. Although a bit more reserved now, Walt ' s skiing and golf activities still take a great deal of his leisure time. Having studied under a Ford Foundation Scholarship in undergraduate school along with all his other interests, he still managed to be active in Alpha Epsilon Pi fraternity. At dental school, Walt ' s even temperament permitted him to do just about everything with calmness and un- wavering efficiency. Walt is looking forward to a two year stand in the U.S. Army. He hopes to take his wife to Europe through the service and after discharge desires to practice in the New York area. 4 46 Rudolph E. Micik As one of the top five men in the fteshman year, Rudy was elected to the William Jarvie Society, of which he served as Secretary in his third year. However, it is not his scholarship but his sense of humanity which is his most memorable characteristic. He has won a fol- lowing of loyal and enthusiastic patients with his in- telligent and sympathetic chairside man ner. Rudy came to Columbia under professional option from Hunter College. He became a member of Psi Omega in his first year and his sophomore year was memorable to all of us for his imperturbability in the face of adversity brought on by a mix up of typodonts. The experience that he gained when he worked week- ends as a dental technician had served him well during the senior year. During his four years his pleasant, friendly manner and unselfish attitude has made many fast friends, all of whom have threatened to remember him next Feb- ruary when he will be in the midst of his U.S. Public Health Internship in sunny New Orleans. 47 To those of us who have ever missed a lecture, the neatly printed name of Allen Parks will always be remembered. Few can boast of as complete a set of notes as Al ' s, or his generosity in sharing them. His good nature and helpful manner rarely faltered in the four years here at Columbia. A native of Brooklyn. AI attended New York Uni- versity on the Heights and before graduating managed to chalk up membership in Alpha Epsilon Pi, the school glee club, the student activities committee, and the stu- dent council. After freshman year at Columbia, Al married his lovely wife Ronnie. He became class representative to the Student Council for two years and school representa- tive to the All University Student Council. After spend- ing the past summer under a U.S. Public Health Fel- lowship, Al capped his career by being elected to the William Jarvie Society. Because of his unquestioned ability to get along with people, he is also doing a bang- up job as Business Editor of the Dental Columbian. After graduation Al will enter the Air Force and subsequently follow through on his plans to set up a private practice in periodontia or pedodontics. 48 Edward F. Poroski Old Dad, as he is affectionately called by class- mates, graduated from Manhattan College way back in 1952. Three years plus in the United States Navy interrupted his formal education but at the end of this period the Navy lost a Lieutenant (j.g) and Columbia gained a very capable student. Ed adjusted easily to the grind and was quick to master the various dental techniques, a contributing factor to which was his skill at fashioning models and oil painting while at Manhattan. He majored in Biology and contributed his athletic ability to the baseball team. Many social events owe their success to the musical talents of Ed ' s golden horn and band. He has been the Junior and Senior Social Chairman for Psi Omega and class Vice President in the third year. In addition, Ed was Dr. Cain ' s able assistant during the junior year. Senior year was considered no honeymoon for many here at Columbia, but for Ed and his lovely bride, Alicia, it was a different story. Future plans call for a general pracrice in suburbia. 49 = w. m . ii s s ps Seymour K. Hettinger Through four hard years at Columbia Sy has not aged appreciably nor has he lost his boyish appearance and vitality. Perhaps his easy going attitude and im- munity to panic has played a large role in forestalling the aging process. He brought these qualities from his alma mater, New York University, where he earned his degree in English while a member of the swimming team and working for the meteorology department. At Columbia Sy was an active participant in Alpha Omega socials and other fraternity affairs. He was awarded a United States Public Health Fellowship and was thus busily engaged this past summer in the Divi- sion of Oral Surgery and the Dermatological Service of Vanderbilt Clinic. After graduation Sy plans to spend two years in the United States Air Force and then qui sait? 50 Carl E. Rodenburg Carl came to Columbia after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Arts degree in zoology. He also attended N.Y.U. graduate school where he majored in biology. With his entry to Columbia, Carl finally saw the realization of his ambitions in the field of dentistry. His patient, meticulous manner is obvious in both his clinical and laboratory work and neatness is his motto in all he undertakes. While at Pennsylvania, Carl ' s extra curricular activi- ties included participation on the rifle team and playing a cool trumpet in the university band. At Columbia, Carl has been a member of Psi Omega and served as editor for one year. He was selected as Editor-in-Chief of the Dental Columbian for 1961 and has been on the photography staff of this publication for four years. In March of this year Carl married the charming Helma Kumme. Following graduation he plans to enter the United States Army after which he will enter private practice. 51 Abram Rosenthal Abe, better known to some of his classmates as Abo, travels to Columbia via the D train from the Bronx. The fact that he has chosen dentistry as his life ' s work comes as no surprise to us, for he is travelling in the footsteps of his father. A graduate of Franklin and Marshall College, Abe received his Bachelor of Science degree in biology after his four year tenure. He was an active member of Zeta Beta Tau fraternity and still make pilgtimages to Lan- caster for the annual homecoming. Abe, in addition to his academic prowess at Franklin and Marshall was also a member of the tennis team. Abe is an active Alpha Omegan and, in his capacity as one of its most eligible bachelor members, is official delegate to all sorority parties. Upon graduation Abe plans to take an internship at Montefiore Hospital, followed by an associateship with the possibility of specializing in oral surgery. 52 Sanford Salz A native of Flushing, Sandy came to Columbia from Queens College where he received his B.S. degree in chemistry and was a member of the baseball team. At Columbia, Sandy and his four centrals have added humor and relief to many trying and tedious days. He is a member of Alpha Omega Fraternity and served as its Social Chairman in both his junior and senior years. At the end of his third year Sandy married his lovely fiancee Elaine who hailed from Toronto, Canada. It was to this city that he traveled each weekend to see his fair lady. Sandy ' s outside interests are many and varied. He possesses a considerable knowledge of high fidelity and when not putting together some component of his Hi- Fi, he was invariably found watching an ice hockey game at Madison Square Garden. Following graduation, Sandy plans to enter the Air Force Dental Corps and then a private practice. 53 Kenneth I. Saltzman Kenneth was one of the most dexterous members of our class. We attributed such proficiency to the practice obtained in maneuvering the family Fiat into minuscule parking spaces. Ken graduated from N.Y.U. with a Bachelor of Arts degree in biology. He followed this with a very reward- ing stint of postgraduate courses in advanced physics. During the freshman year Kenny became Dr. Kutscher ' s research assistant. His interest in research culminated in his election to the William Jarvie So- ciety During summer vacations Kenny worked under a U.S. Public Health Research Fellowship. In the near future Kenny hopes to have some of his work published. Kenny ' s interests are wide and varied. He builds and sells sailboats and he is the class authority on horti- culture. Kenny is married and his lovely wife Anita has often graced the dental school premises while he worked on this brave lass. After graduation Kenneth plans upon service in the Air Force followed by a private practice. 54 Robert A. Saporito Bob ' s pre-dental days were spent at Franklin and Marshall College where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology. Within a few days after entering Columbia he was elected Vice President of the fresh- man class. During the following three years he served as a student assistant to Dr. De Lisi and in his senior year was elected to the William Jarvie Society. Bob also served as Treasurer and Grand Inquisitor of Psi Omega, Art-Photography Editor of the Dental Columbian, and was awarded a National Institute of Health Research Fellowship during the summer of I960. Bob was eliminated from the ranks of the most eligible when he and his most attractive Ruth were married during his junior year. Their honeymoon was extended when Bob was selected as one of Columbia ' s representatives to the Student ADA Clinic at Los An- geles in the fall of I960. Following graduation, the Saporitos hope to continue their travel record via the United States Navy. Subse- quent plans call for an associate-ship with his father, a former member of the Columbia Dental Faculty. 55 Combine a pleasant disposition, sincetity, and over- whelming enthusiasm with a fetchingly distinguished, balding dome and you have Herb Schlussel. Herb came to us from Yeshiva University where he obtained his A.B. and where his athletic prowess ex- pressed itself on the varsity basketball team for four years. Schluss — as he is affectionately termed when the less formal Herb won ' t do — is a resident of the Bronx where he is comfortably domiciled with his lovely wife Rita and the recently arrived Richard Norman, who sports the famous Schlussel cleft chin and smile. Rita also deserves commendarion for exrending her secre- tarial duties to include the typing of lecture notes and reports for Herb and his classmates. Between his junior and senior years Herb took an externship in a Bronx hospital which included a great deal of oral surgery and which added to his already very considerable stock of dental lore. Upon graduation Herb plans to associate and then enter a private practice in the New York City area. 56 Terry W. Slaughter Success has been the by-word for Terry during his four years at Columbia and can be exemplified by his many accomplishments. Having received a bachelor ' s degree in economics at the College of William and Mary, he came to Colum- bia on the Betty Godley Memorial Scholarship with an excellent background. During the freshman year he was elected class president and student council representa- tive and became Dr. Lucca ' s assistant in his sophomore year. In the summers of 1959 and I960 he was awarded National Institute of Health Fellowships and his in- terest in research continued in his senior year as a research assistant to Drs. Zegarelli and Kutscher. He also served as Secretary of the William Jarvie Society. Terry has been an active member of Psi Omega for the past three years and served as Junior Treasurer. This past fall Terry ' s career was highlighted by his selection as co-clinician representing Columbia at the American Dental Association Convention at Los An- geles. The future surely holds more success for Terry, Bar- bara, and their two daughters, Beth and Cass. Terry plans to specialize in oral surgery after an internship at Bellevue Hospital. 57 Early in our years at Columbia, we realized that there would always be something different about our class. This difference was presented to us by way of God, Eng- land, and Hunter College in the form of a really warm, sincere, and friendly young lady. Diane entered on a professional option with a Bach- elor of Arts from Hunter College after two years of undergraduate school. Among her many interests are music, the ballet, folk dancing and sewing. At Columbia, Diane was awarded a W.A.Q.D. Dental Society Scholarship, as well as membership in the Wil- liam Jarvie Society. Diane ' s interest in dentistry has shown itself in research work with Dr. Kutscher, a public health research fellowship, and in the Associate Editorship of the Journal of Clinical Stomatology Con- ferences. She has represented the class on the Student Council, as an alternare on the Columbia University Student Council, and on the Dental Columbian staff. Diane ' s future includes an internship at Long Island Jewish Hospital and a possible specialization in Pedo- dontics. I d 58 Marvin L. Stern Marvin came to Columbia from University Heights of N.Y.U. after only three years of undergraduate work. His excellent academic record led to immediate ac- ceptance to dental school. He could always be found in the front row of the lecture hall taking notes better than most secretaries take dictation and whenever a word was missed, Marv ' s notebook was a sure source of reference following the lecture. This, plus his desire to learn, has given him one of the best basic science records in the class. It has been said that Marv remembers more Pharmo than he ought to. In the clinical phase of study Marv has shown ex- ceptional capabilities in carrying preclinical training into the clinic and applying it soundly. As dentistry has always been his goal in life, his days in clinic have been the happiest ones. After graduation, the United States Air Force will claim him for the next two years. 59 Paul J. Tannenbaum Paul, another victim of commutingitis, made the long trip to Columbia from Brooklyn and spent many of his lunch hours trying to cure this malady by looking for a room closer to school. On Friday evenings, how- ever, he was ready, willing, and able to make the journey to Russell Sage College in Troy where he was courting the lovely Wilma Reichek. Paul solved his traveling problems to Troy at least by marrying Willi, but the only change in the Brooklyn problem was riding the BMT instead of the IND. Paul, a graduate of C.C.N.Y., compiled a truly en- viable clinical and academic record at Columbia which he combined with an intense interest in research — factors which have earned for him membership in the William Jarvie Society for Dental Research. Paul was astute enough to realize the benefits of the Navy Ensign Program when we were in our freshman year. He will spend the next two years in the Navy after which he intends to divide his time between gen- eral practice and research pursuits. 60 Ronald F. Tenore Ron ' s four years at Columbia have been crammed with so many activities in the form of service to his classmates and to the school that it is difficult to realize that he found time to become the fine clinician he is. He has been an extremely active member of the William Jarvie Society and was honored with the Presidency of this organization in his senior year. In the summer of I960 Ron worked with Dr. Kutscher in research and has found time to serve on the Student Council for two years including one year as Secretary-Treasurer. Socially, Ron has been very active in Psi Omega affairs and his classmates have tried to get him married for four years. Through Fordham and Columbia, how- ever, Ron hasn ' t been caught. He still prefers golf over women, and is still trying to break 100. After graduation, Ron is spoken for by the U.S. Ait Force, but he is not a man to become idle. We feel sure that he will continue his studies in some field of den- tistry because of his desire to continually investigate and learn. If there ' s a dent to be made in dental diagnosis and research by our class, Ron is the man who will do it. 61 Our class received its continental flavor in person of George, who arrived from France in 1947. He attended lona College where he earned his Bachelor of Science degree, cum laude, with a chemistry major. When George was not preaching to his patients that this is a teaching institution, he was in the laboratory philosophizing to his fellow students about such di- vergent subjects as Panky-Mann or professional ethics. When George had some free time he was usually found splashing around in the Y.M.C.A. pool or on the tennis courts in Central Park. Concurrent with George ' s loquacity is a deep-seated sense of professionalism and sense of responsibility to advance his scientific knowledge and improve his dental skills. After graduation he will embark upon an internship at the Brooklyn Veterans Administration Hospital. Fol- lowing the internship, George anticipates military service. 62 Robert M. Wein A talented all-around person with outstanding ability may well be applied to one of the leading eligible men of our class. A Sigma Nu at Colgate, Bob entered Columbia after three years of undergraduate prepara- tion. Bob never seemed to lose his composure on the clinic floor or during the demanding preclinical science years. While others were running in circles he talked about his latest round of golf, crewing for the races on the sound. Sarah Lawrence, East Side haunts, or his hitch- hiking tour of Europe and Scandinavia during the sum- mer following his sophomore year. Life at Columbia hasn ' t been all casual, however, for Bob has devoted much time to research in association with Dr. Benfield, working on the Dental Columbian staff, as a member of Psi Omega, and most effectively as class Social Chair- man during the past four years. In his junior year Bob gained much experience in handling apprehensive pa- tients as a member of the Psychiatric Institute ' s student staff. Bob ' s future plans include an internship at Philadel- phia General Hospital, additional travel, and then a prac- tice in mid town New York or his native Westchester. 63 Ralph ' s undergraduate work was accomplished at Columbia and he came to the dental school with a New York State Regents Scholarship. He became estab- lished as a vast source of knowledge in a variety of fields and as such was often sought to settle a class debate. However, he was not beyond engaging in the art of debate and, in fact, was always a part of the more vig- orous-discussions. His ability and readiness to submit his very straightforward opinions led to some interesting albeit embarrassing moments during the past four years. Ralph ' s active and agile mind, his fine sense of humor, and his helpful and good nature, have made him an important part of our long years together at Columbia and will assure him of a wonderful future. A private practice is Ralph ' s ultimate goal but the United States Army will perhaps forestall his aspirations along this line for about two years after graduation. 64 Anyone who watched Alba in freshman year knitting or doing crossword puzzles, going away for long skiing weekends during exam periods, or always carrying one or two fashion magazines along with her notebooks, may have stopped to question a woman ' s place in den- tistry. It soon became evident, however, that her relaxed attitude was primarily due to a constant self confidence and a remarkable ability to grasp and do well in both didactic and technical aspects of dentistry. Alba came to Columbia via Barnard College where she was a zoology major. During her years at the dental school she was able to find time to be employed as a dental assistant for one of our ortho instructors. An avid outdoor enthusiast, her extracurricular interests include tennis, skiing, and ice skating. Throughout her four years here Alba has added a lively element to the class and raised many an eyebrow and whistle with her new hair styles, new figure, hula hoops, the chemise, ski pants, and ortho appliances. Alba ' s plans for the future are indefinite but a spe- cialty in periodontia is a possibility. 65 UNDERGRADUATES NINETEEN HUNDRED SIXTY TWO Seated, Lett to Right: Michael Alexander — Sec, Richard Lichtenthai — Pres., E.

Now past the halfway matk, the class of ' 62 returned to face a year which was to show whether or not our efforts in technique and basic science were to be re- warded with clinical results. Those of us, and there were many, who were faced with empty chairs proceeded instead to dig deep into out lockers and began flourish- ing practices in typodontics — until more suitable clinical material, i.e. patients, became available. We soon discovered that rubber dams can be applied to third molars, that picture book restotations are usu- ally found only in picture books, and that pulp ex- posures are not necessarily the end of the world. With the passing of time we branched out — one of our num- ber limited his practice to pedodontics, others to the taking of histories, and still others to the search and capture of centric relation — now you see it, now you don ' t! Another highlight of the year was our initiation into the intricacies of the water spray — a refreshing, if some- what hazardous, addition to our armamentarium. We were also notified of period requirements — to be made known to us as soon as they were determined. We found our instructors to be patient, understanding, and help- ful .. . when we found our instructors. Hours spent in diagnosis, radiology, and surgery were hours well spent indeed. Sorely missed, however, was the refresher course in medical statistics. The lectures in pharmacology soon proved that u kn ri 120 wpm. Front seats were at a premium as the class filed in to find the blackboards bedecked with exotic formuli, some of which were NIB, NIAB, while others were IEB. Needless to say we transcribed them all and picked up a great deal of information in the process. The course in oral pathology taught us the importance of a thorough knowledge of the history of oral lesions with which we, as dentists, will be con- fronted. Most important of all, we became increasingly aware of the scope, complexities, and opportunities of the pro- fession we hope proudly to enter one year hence. Morton Sobel and Sheppard M.

The freshman year was but a pleasant memory as the somewhat lighter class of 1963 returned sun- tanned and rested to face the reality of the sophomore year. After a fond exchange of greetings and the for- malities of registration, Operation Evacuation com- menced. The new sophs moved from their former ninth floor lockers to the housing development on the eighth floor in the heart of the dental city. The problems of furnishing were met as contact paper provided wall to wall shelving and pegboards artistically decorated with dental gadgets paneled the doors in a space saving effort. Shortly that summer glow gave way to the student look. Weekly visits were made to the scene of the dental bitthplace, the ninth floor lab. The heavier luggage — black operative kits — was conveyed directly from 8 to 9 by cart while smaller items were awkwardly carried. When typodonts were not being remodelled, green teeth not being restored, partials not being planned, or Steele ' s facings not being backed, the realms of micro- biology, physiology and pathology were being e xplored. What kind of year was it? In retrospect it was a year in which greater knowledge in the basic sciences was attained, old skills perfected and new skills acquired. It was a year of microscopes for examining pathological disorders and microbes, syringes for injecting rabbits and mice, petri dishes for growing bacteria, scalpels and hemostats for dissecting cats, as well as burs, hatchets, and carvers for executing dental techniques. It was a year of many dental firsts — first pontics and first full dentures, first encounters with gold foil, alginates and hydrocolloids, and first research projects. Dental work took on a new meaning. These firsts could be climaxed only by the experience of meeting first patients in clinic. Above all, it was a year which brought the sophomores a year closer to the realization of a goal. Lillian H. Bachman and Barry C.

Not too long ago a nervous group of fumbling fresh- men entered the Columbia Dental School for orientation — this time without the usual notes on Why I want to become a dentist ; this time with the self confidence of having become a part of the school where nobody flunks out ; this time with the drive of an individual who has a definite goal in mind — to find out how many of his classmates were from Harvard or Yale. Some of us quickly noted the type of colleagues we were to have for the next four years as at least five or six of these buttoned-down intellects attacked the front row and proceeded to scribble down every please see me if you have a problem and wear a clean white shirt being issued from the podium. So here I was sitting in the histology lab and this guy comes up to me, rubs my back, and offers me some lens paper. Two minutes later we held class elections. The next week or so was spent wandering rhrough the halls looking for our classrooms and holding class meet- ings. It got so we couldn ' t do anything without taking a class vote. At these meetings, which were usually held during a histology conference or a gross anatomy lec- ture, some joker wearing galoshes, a hand-painted tie, and with a three day growth on, would invariably ad- monish us on our unprofessional attitude. Other areas covered were: Should Saturday ' s party be stag or drag, Should we send Albert a valentine card, and Why we need an honor system, in order of their apparent importance. On we went pursuing our many bread and butter courses without ever seeing a tooth. Our professors seemed quite tolerant and a wrong answer was fre- quently handled with a sweet, yet sincere, Like hell it is! There were all types of characters to be found in our happy forty, all with one thing in common — rings under the eyes. We all learned from each other also. Things like the value of betting the favorite only on Tuesdays, the connotation of the grade L at some of the better schools, or how to break in a 65 tf pipe. Mostly, however, we learned a new way to speak. ( Oh, might we ever have not! ) We ' ve griped plenty and perhaps have had plenty to gripe about, but it ' s certain that every man in the Class of 1964 is proud of the institution to which he now belongs.

From the original four mem- bers it has grown to boast of over 30,000 members in its alumni and undergraduate chapters thus making it the largest of all the dental fraternities. Psi Omega is inter- national in scope with over twenty-nine countries rep- resented. The Gamma Lambda Chapter was founded at Colum- bia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery in 1906. Under the capable guidance of Dr. Cain in the past, we were taken by surprise when he resigned as Deputy Counsellor. An election was held at which time Dr. John J. Lucca became Deputy Counsellor and Dr. Joseph De Lisi the Assistant Deputy Counsellor. Dr. Lucca had been the Assistant Deputy Counsellor for the past five or more years. These men have always tried to affect a positive influence so that dentistry and Psi Omegans would advance in their moral and ethical character.

Many social functions were held throughout the year. Smokers for prospective members were held in the early months culminating in initiation, at which time the guest speaker was Dr. Rudolph Friedrich, Director of the Oral Surgery Division. Dr. Joseph Cuttita was taken into the fraternity at this time. Dr. Cuttita has always been present at Psi Omega functions. Guest speakers were included at many meetings. Psi Omega has also held two dances this year in conjunction with Alpha Omega. A good time was had by all and once again the music was supplied by a Psi Omegan in the person of Social Chairman and band leader Edward Poroski. There still remains the thought of the Senior Farewell to come. We are proud of our fraternity and its members. We are also proud of the aims it instills in us. We are proud of the senior Psi Omegans who are about to leave and wish them success in ; !I of their endeavors.

The objectives of the fraternity are to pro- mote the profession of dentistry, foster and develop high standards, to commend all worthy deeds, and to accept, sponsor, and develop the cultural and tradi- rional achievements of our faith. Alpha Omega has developed into a fraternity of over eight thousand professional people, organized into 47 alumni and 35 undergraduate chapters throughout the world. Members of Eta Chapter have benefitted from the fraterniry on both social and professional levels. These were monthly meetings and smokers with guest lectur- ers. Our objective for the year was promoting interest within the chapter to acquire a fraternity house of our own. We now have this house and have spent many a happy day and night in making this place a home away from home. Eta Chapter has not had a house for many years and this great accomplishment will be remem- bered for years to come. It is easy to undetstand why we of Eta Chapter are proud and privileged to be associated with the fraternity. Seated, Left to Right: Stewart M. Chodosch — Sec, Sond- ford Z.

Thus there will be a continuation and growth of this leader- ship to ' maintain the high standards of dentistry that will help produce a golden era rhat we and posteriry will enjoy. We wish to thank Psi Omega for their cooperation in the jointly held dances of the year, especially the wonderful Senior Farewell for the Class of 1961.

DENTAL COLUMBIAN Somehow from beneath the pile of models, unfin- ished cases and many odds and ends within the confines of lockers numbered 143 and 80 came the 1961 Dental Columbian. Much work has gone into our publication including a great deal of help from the freshman, sopho- more, and junior staff members. Many problems have arisen in the publication of this yearbook and some have gone unsolved if only for the lack of space. Every senior student has contributed in some small way to the overall result. It was the inten- tion of the staff to compile the information and the photographs without offending anyone and we sincerely hope that this has never occurred at any time. The editor s and staff are extremely proud of their achievement and I feel they all deserve the heartiest of plaudits from everyone. We of the staff wish to thank . . . Dr. Joseph De Lisi for his excellent guidance and the time which he volunteered as faculty advisor. The departmental contributors for their prompt ac- tion and greatly appreciated articles. Mrs. Kathy Vetter for her cooperation in securing use of the Kamen Room. Departmental secretaries for their lists of staff mem- bers. The students and faculty for their support by pur- chasing copies of the Dental Columbian. I would, as Editor-in-Chief, at this time like to thank everyone who worked on this yearbook, especially Paul Bjorklund, Allen Parks, and Robert Saporito. Without the able committee handling by these men I feel sure that a yearbook would never have come to pass. Carl E.

OMICRON KAPPA UPSILON Annually, on the basis of high scholarship, outstand- ing character, as well as professional maturity and con- tributions to dentistry, a select few of the graduating class are elected to Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the na- tional honorary dental fraternity. The fraternity had its origin at Northwestern Uni- versity Dental School in 1913 in a petition from the Class of 1914 to its Dean, Dr. G. V. Black. Today there- are 47 chapters. The Greek letters, Sigma — standing for conserva- tion, and Omicron and Upsilon which mean teeth and health, located on the pin within the larger symbol of conservation, symbolize the guiding principle of the fraternity. The Columbia University chapter, Epilson Epsilon, was granted a charter of a component chapter in 1934. The members of this chapter extend to you, the Class of 1961, our congratulations and best wishes for a life- time of professional success and happiness. We hope that the standards you have been taught and the high principles which have guided our members will act as guides for your professional careers. 81 Seated, Left to Right: Joseph Cacioppi, Robert Allenby, Ronald Tenore, Dr. Thomas Portwoy, Dr. Austin H.

However, interest in research must be encouraged, stimulated, and developed. It is of prime importance that the investigator be given the oppor- tunity to be surrounded by an atmosphere of scientific inquiry. This is the function of the William Jatvie Society, an undergraduate organization at Columbia Dental School, founded through the efforts of Dr. William Gies thirty five years ago. The students within the society not only conduct research projects of their own choice, but are offered the oppottunity of seeking the advice and guid- ance of many prominent dental investigators. Thus, throughout the year, many individual as well as group research projects are carried out under the inspired guid- ance of its faculty advisot, Dr. Austin H. Kutscher. STUDENT COUNCIL The purpose of this organization is to foster a more intimate relationship between the faculty and the students and to assist in improvement of the insti- tution in order that it may be the foremost school of the profession. Thus, with this as its prescribed aim, the Student Council functions as the official voice of the student body. With Dr. Joseph A. Cuttita as its liaison between students and faculty, the council acts to air items of general interest and to promote harmony of function among all components of the school.

WINBER a Denture is an Emotional Experience. . . . . . and the natural patient symptoms of fear and depression can be greatlv reduced, and sometimes overcome, by skillful use of the many elements in the Trubyte Esthetics Program THE FIRST CONSULTATION CAN BE INFORMATIVE AND REASSURING ' Trubyte Patient Education Aids make it possible for you to show your patients, clearly and dramatically, what modern prosthetic dentistry can accomplish. When your patients see Living Dentures. they will understand, perhaps for the first time, that the denture experience need not be associated with advancing age and declin- ing vigor. The proper presentation of this beautiful new patient education book will contribute immeasurably to the process of psychological readjustment, and will enlist the patient cooperation so neces- sary to the final success of the restoration. - AA THE PRELIMINARY CHAIR WORK CAN BUILD PATIENT CONFIDENCE AND FACILITATE THE INITIAL STEPS OF THE DENTURE CREATION. The Trubyte Bioform Professional Den- ture Service Unit can be invaluable to you and your patients. The Unit is an impor- tant aid to preliminary tooth selection and arrangement — equally important, perhaps, is its value in demonstrating to your pa- tients the personalized and individualized character of your denture service. Your patients will understand what you are doing for them, and why. THE TRY-IN CAN BE A MOMENT OF RELIEF AND GRATITUDE. The first try-in of the completely successful restoration can be a richly rewarding ex- perience for both you and your patient. Certainly, this experience is dependent pri- marily upon the application of your profes- sional knowledge and skill to the problems of esthetic denture design. Yet many den- tists have found that the Trubyte Bioform System of Tooth Selection and Arrange- ment, and the exclusive use of Trubyte Bioform Teeth, are essential to consistently excellent results. This is because the Tru- byte Bioform System is based upon over sixty years of continuing study of Nature ' s underlying principles as evidenced in the healthy, natural dentition, and because Trubyte Bioform Teeth provide the wide variety of natural tooth forms, and the radiant vitality of natural tooth shades, which simulate the beauty of living teeth. Esthetics and Trubyte are inseparable. Your Trubyte Representative will show you how both Esthetics and Trubyte can build your prosthetic practice.
