Through ceaseless, untiring effort, Arthur Kleinberg in his capacity as class president has, for the past two years, displayed a spirit of leadership and organizing ability upon which the success of many of our collegiate enter' l prises depended. ln return for his un- flagging interest and his promotion of the welfare of our class, we extend our sincerest gratitude and deepest thanks. This issue of the OCCOPODIAN is dedicated to the founders of our school, those men who had the fore-sight, the initiative, and the industry to found The Ohio College of Chiropodyf' We, of the 1935 graduating class, have heard from. our dean, Dr. Harmolin, the inspiring history of the origin of our school, a story that will engrave itself deeply and permanently into the annals of Chiropody. It is a far cry from those humble beginnings to our present day Alma Mater. Chiropody has gained world-wide recognition, with our school, and by its aid. Today it is an established branch of the medical science, and a branch of which Hippocrates fthe father of rnedicinej could well be proud. Our class has the distinction of being the first three-year group to graduate from The Ohio College of Chiropody. We step out with confidence, knowing that we now have more than just the fundamental necessities for the practice of our profession. The fact that we are better prepared than any previous group will make it somewhat easier for us to withstand this period of financial stress and readjustment. The knowledge of the science, however. is not enough: it must be coupled with honest ethical practice and personal integrity. Only on such foundations can we build a practice that will bring to us those things which we all desire: financial security, public respect, and most important, per- sonal happiness. lt is my sincere desire that every one of my fellow graduates will have at- tained that success when we meet again.

It is with mixed feelings of pleasure and regret, I address you, the class of SENIOR CLASS ADVISOR DR. R. L. DRYFUSE The graduating class of l935 takes this opportunity to express its sincere appreciation of the splendid advice and cheerful assistance given by Dr. R. I.. Dryfuse in his capacity as class advisor. His timely counsel, coupled with his helpful clinical instruction, proved a boon on many occasions. We point with pride to a gentleman whose wise instructions will help us to assume those roles of responsibility which are incidental to active practice. 1935, collectively for the last time, regret, that our pleasant associations of the past three years are to be disrupted: with pleasure, as I look upon your going to the various sections of this great country to surmount the obstacles of your professional life, with the enthusiasm of youth and the assurance of knowledge second to none in your profession. It is with confidence that I look upon you as the reserve force for the ad- vancement of our profession. With your feet on the Hrst rung of the ladder, and your eyes on the lofty pinnacle above I counsel you to strive for that which is best for those you serve, for yourselves, and your associates. With our help, your foundation has been nrmly laid, and now we are turning over the superstructure to you, with the following admonitions: Do not shirk your duty no matter how hard the road may seem. Use only the best materials. And above all, do not consider anything well done unless it is your best. Do not hesitate to ask for advice, but first exhaust your own resources. And last but not least, do not consider your education ended-but just begun. Verbally, I am not able to express the honor I feel you have conferred upon me in choosing me your confidant and class advisor, so with my sincerest wishes I conclude in the hope that this trust will not end with your graduation.

SENICRS HERBERT N. REHNBORG BERNARD S.. FIPP Treasurer Vice-President ARTHUR O. KLEINBERG President VIOLET KLINE Secretary SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On a bright morning in September 1933, sixty-five freshman students, eager anticipation overbubbling within them, entered 'neath the portals of our Alma Mater for the first time. June 1935 finds but six who have fallen by the way- side in the march toward graduation. As freshmen, we were imbued with an immature enthusiasm based upon a crumbling foundation of inexperience. Lectures, didactic work, anatomical dissection, clinical observations Hlled the academic air surrounding us. New and strange medical terminology plus an entirely different outlook on life seemed to heighten the temporary confusion. Besides our varied subjects and con- cepts of collegiate interest, we discovered ourselves making companionships and becoming accustomed to our novel environment. As time sped onward and ever onward, the conclusion of the initial year found the gradual accom- modations of the freshman to his college, friends, and profession. In our junior year, we were afforded the clinical and practical facilities in order to develop up on the fundamental principles taught us. A new world was thrown open to us portraying actual experience with patients and pro- viding the opportunity of realizing what was to come in the future. Prac- ticability coupled with experience comprised the entire second year. lt was during this time that technical ability, personality, and all the necessary require- ments of an able practitioner were evolved. And finally with the secure strength of theoretical knowledge plus the fortii- cation of actually applying this learning, we embarked upon a program of re- search and experimentation during our senior year. Individual deviations from the accepted chiropodial technique: plans for future laboratory experiments: unfinished enterprises which may yet prove a boon to our profession were the encouraging results in our Hnal term. We look forward to June third, when midst unforgettable ceremony, the commencement exercises will take place at I-larmolin Hall. As each student goes his individual way and leaves the portals he entered such a short time ago, let us hope that our paths will merge again. Somewhere, perhaps, in that uncertain future, we may rekindle the light of our memorable friendships. ll8l
