Uamdae 7071 l-IREE years of artillery bombardment are nearly over. Three preparatory years of much necessary cannonading are being terminated. They were needed to clear the way for future advances. Soon comes the zero hour, the hour that caps all the preliminary work. The time at which you rise from the trenches and go over the top encroaches on the present. Go- ing over the top, the State Boards, is quite a feat. After going over the top you enter the no man's land of practice and from that point you must rely almost wholly on your own initiative and experience. The terraine is rough and irregular and the light is poor. Stumbling and falling will be your lot. The goal you reach and the success you obtain involves overcoming these and many other difficulties. Success can be measured in innumerable ways: renown, prestige, money, happiness, or power. l like the idea of doing the most good for the greatest number of people: success that is measured in the happiness that comes from doing a good deed. As members of the healing fraternity we have opportunities to help beyond the ken of average men and it is up to us to fulfill these opportunities to the greatest extent. The class of '40 has both individually and collectively, exhibited sympathy and un- derstanding, acting as nurse all night to an ailing classmate, helping in studies for the weak, promoting ideas to increase the prestige of chiropody and plans for the con- tinued welfare of the Ohio College of Chiropody-these it has been my province to note, and it is good. l deeply appreciate the honor of having been chosen your class advisor. My con- nection with you ends with the severance of your official connection to the Ohio Col- lege of Chiropody but unofficial ties need never be broken. SIMON BUNlN,M. D. Class Advisor

OR our class the hour glass of time is rapidly closing the academic life at O. C. C. A few short weeks more and the class of nineteen hundred and forty will have scat- tered: remaining will be only the nostalgic recollection of hours spent together. Not for us is the motto l have fought the good fight I have finished the course.' A life of strenuous activity in a competitive profession is ahead. To us the mainte- nance of the ideals of our craft and the enlargement of our sphere of service are ambi- tious goals, not incapable of attainment. Our class will always have a warm and gracious regard for O. C. C. ln behalf of the class of '40, l wish to express appreciation to the officials and instructors of the col- lege for the material given us for a foundation: business skills, professional ideals, and pleasant associations which we shall carry with us as a result of the years spent here. Greater proficiency and increased knowledge of our limited sphere of medical activity will aid us, and future classes, to add our small share to the sum total of human achieve- ment. Graduation is too often regarded as the long awaited opportunity to relax one's mental activities. An inevitable result is a similar attitude towards real advancement in any line. Graduation to this class means not Hail and Farewell, but a pressing forward. We shall not forget that Life Begins in Forty. WALTER E. MARSHALL, President of Class of l940. geqind, in uaofzlzf
