Kelly Editor-ui'Chief Murray Super Salvatore Petrucelii Martin Yalisovc Robert Ryono Associate Editor Business Editor Photographic Editor Art Editor THE fast moving events of the past few years at Temple are now re' corded in the school history. These happenings have transpired so rapidly that one wonders how so much could have taken place in such little time. Time, in itself, is a very constant factor. Never does it stop in its progress to allow one to actually view in reality the events of the past. It is for this reason that we feel that this yearbook should help its owner remember the events of the time spent in the pursuit of the profes' sion of Dentistry at Temple University. We sincerely hope that the purpose of this yearbook is successful in recalling to all, the years of happiness, study, and determination that have marked the past we are leaving behind. CI I -50

Their task was a tremendous one but not impossible, We, of the Senior Class, feel especially proud to become the first graduating class of the new Temple University Dental School which we sincerely feel will soon become the epitomy of dental progress throughout the world. It is for these reasons that we dedicate the 1948 Odontolog to ALL those ho so untiringly gave their time and aid towards the establishment of the 00 I Temple University, School of Dentistry, broad street
