Dr. Scancarello once told a few of us, One of the most impor- tant things in life is to gain the respect and admiration of those around you. Everything he has done for us has yielded this reward for him, not in the form of a cold I.O.U. on our part, but rather in our sincere innermost feelings. Few men can give so completely of themselves to help others. His range of love and dedication to the student is only sur- passed by the volume and depth of his laugh. He revels not only in the hearing of a good joke but also in the construction of a good piece of dentistry. He shares the happiness of our successes and the frustration of our mistakes, because when he gives us advice about a case, it becomes his case also. Our clinical exposure tohimis unfortunately very short, only two years. What we take from him lasts much longer, a lifetime. And he has built his philosophy of teaching upon this thought. Each year, when he must overcome the depression of losing the previous graduation class, he rededicates himself to a new group, moulding what he hopes will be a thinking, intelligent, and complete professional man. That is why many years from now, we will have forgotten our first denture case, our undercut crown preps, even our cursed sixty points. But we will not have forgot- ten his pat on the back or the things he said and did for us. And as a result of his sincerity, warmth, humor, help and love, we the Class of 1969, reap a tremendous reward of having the pleasure of dedicating our yearbook to Dr. Joseph Scancarello. We Thank You
