It has become traditional that each senior class selects a capable staff to publish this yearbook. We hope that in the years to come the “Odontolog will serve as a diary through which we can review the years of hard work, friendship and pleasure that were spent here at Temple Dental School. We hope in addition that the senior classes of the future will continue to publish the “Odontolog, and maintain the high standards that have been the governing factor of this publication. Dedication Dr. Louis Herman As we, the Forty-Niners, approach our goal, we pause in retrospect to summarize the incidents and personages that have made our journey through the past four years enjoyable. In reflecting back, we feel that we are especially indebted to that congenial gentleman with a heart of gold—Dr. Louis Herman. As a member of the Admission Committee, Dr. Herman was one of the first faculty members we became associated with in dental school. Since that time, Dr. Herman has been a constant source of assistance to the Forty-Niners. He was never too busy to listen to our problems or to intercede for us when necessary. He was a true friend when we needed friends. For the many contributions, both large and small, which he has given to us, we respectfully dedicate the 1949 “Odon-tolog” to Dr. Louis Herman, who will always remain in our memories as “Uncle Louie. Theme—The Forty-Niners FROM the sunny shores of California to the rocky shoals oi Massachusetts, the seventy-seven Forty-Niners, who only four years ago began their quest for a golden reward in the profession of Dentistry, have at last received a clear title to their respective claims. Each Forty-Niner now has his own acre of diamonds to work upon, and his returns will be measured by his own contributions to his profession. Like our forefathers, who one hundred years ago completed their journey westward in quest of their golden fortunes, our journey has not been without incident. The journey has been long and weary—the days and nights have often melted into one. We have gained our inspiration from the success of those who have gone before us. When we began our journey we were inexperienced and uncertain. Our trail was charted, however, having been traveled over many times before by men and women who were no better prepared than we. We were protected by scouts and guides who were more experienced in the ways of the road and who guided us safely past pitfalls and unforeseen dangers. Now that we are completing the first important phase of our journey, our guides have left us to bring other groups of adventurers safely over the same trails. We have now entered upon the last phase of our journey along life's highway, where every man must be his own guide. Whether, or not, we successfully complete this adventure is our own responsibility. It depends upon the way we utilize the tools and knowledge that have been given to us, and last, but not least, the consideration we give to fellow travelers along the way. Let the spirit of the first Forty-Niners be our inspiration! The Dentist’s Creed To respect my profession, my reputation and myself. 'I'o be honest and fair with my patients as I expect my patients to be honest and fair with me; to think of Dentistry with loyalty, speak of it with praise, and act always as a custodian of its good name. To be a man whose word carries weight with my fellow citizens; to be a booster, not a knocker; a pusher, not a kicker; a motor, not a cog. To base my expectations of reward on a solid foundation of service rendered; to be willing to pay the price in honest effort. To look upon my work as opportunity to be seized with joy and made the most of, and not as a painful drudgery to be reluctantly endured. To remember that success lies within myself, in my own brain, my own ambition, my own courage and determination. To expect difficulties and force my way through them; to convert hard experience into capital for future struggles. Finally, to play the game like a gentleman; and to endeavor to grow as a dentist and as a man with the passage of every day of time. THIS IS MY CREED! minis tra tion President’s Message 0««t v. i HNS0S preside 1 nc hundred years ago a seemingly endless caravan of intrepid men was moving along overland trails into the West. Discovery of gold had made a 1 ornia the land of opportunity, and these, the Forty-Niners, were going out to starch for the metal which always has been a seductive lure to bold spirits. Hundreds died in desert wastes enroute. Thousands reached their trail's end only to find bafflement and despair instead of the pots of gold of which they had dreamed. But all, by their hardihood, made a contribution to opening to America that rich land beyond the range. You who are the Dental School's Forty-Niners have more in common with those pioneers than the numerals which identify your class. The path you traveled has been long and hard. Along the way was a war of unprecedented magnitude. Academic hurdles of increasing difficulty cut down your number through the preparatory years. Others became weary and dropped by the way-side through indifference. Now graduation and entry into your profession come to you who represent truly a survival of the fit. Unlike the Forty-Niners of old, you will not face the certain disappointment that awaits so many of those who stake their future on a lucky strike. Trained by a great faculty in an educational plant that has been described as the finest of its kind in the world, you will move into a field of growing need where the reward is assured This does not mean sudden wealth. It probably does not mean ultimate riches by any monetary scale. Your reward will be the security given by a professional man's competence, the respect accorded by your community, and the satisfactions found in alleviating the distress and protecting the health of those who come to you. I can wish for you no recompense more durable than this. Robert L. Johnson, President 10 Dean’s Message So you have elected to call yourselves the Forty-Niners! I hope when you made this selection you realized the full import of such a selection and appreciated the train of thought which immediately, by chain reaction, begins to unfold. One hundred years ago the persons whom you have selected as your counter parts set out upon a long and dangerous journey with but one thought in mind gold. Some realized the full extent of their dream while others fell prey to the many hardships they encountered. Thus it is with you as you embark on an eventful journey—that ot professional life. As happened before, some will find the pot of gold while others will be beset with disappointment but in your instance the circumstances will differ from those of one hundred years ago. You, as a class, will not encounter the physical hardships on your path to glory but you will face the many pitfalls of professional life through which only your conscience will guide you. There is gold in your class and my sincere wish is that when the final record is written the assay will show a preponderance of the noble metal with but little dross and may the heat from the crucible of life remove the alloys which can only lower the value of the end product. My best wishes to you all. Gerald D. Timmons, Dean Operative Dentistry Clinical Raymond C. Walter A.B., D.D.S., F.A.C.D.

BUHLER. D.D.S., F.A.C.D. Dean of Emory University School of Dentistry The announcement in the spring of 1948 that Dr. Buhler was to become the Dean of Emory University Dental School was received with a feeling mixed with pride and admiration by the Forty-Niners and the entire student body and faculty of Temple University School of Dentistry. Our felicitous reaction to the news, however, was tempered by the realization that we were losing the counsel, guidance and teaching of a man we had grown to lean on quite heavily during our three years at Temple. We became officially acquainted with Dr. Buhler during our sophomore year; and who of the Forty-Niners will ever forget those Materia Medica quizzes. During the Junior year, “Dr. John listened to our many troubles and came to our assistance whenever possible. His jolly laugh and pat on the back gave us a more pleasant outlook on the future. The Forty-Niners can say without reservation that Temple's loss was Emory's gain. John E. Buhler D.D.S., F.A.C.D. GEORGE H. SANDMAN, D.D.S, F.A.C.D. Lieutenant Commander, U. S. avy Dental Corps In January of 1949 the Forty-Niners, as well as Temple University School of Dentistry, lost a friend and teacher when Dr. George H. Sandman accepted a commission as Lieutenant Commander in the U. S. Navy Dental Corps. Dr. Sandman was a member of the Admissions Committee for several years and was serving in that capacity when our class was admitted in 1945. Thus, he was one of the first faculty members we became acquainted with and our friendship grew with the passing of each semester. We became academically acquainted with Dr. Sandman during our Sophomore year when he lectured on Crown and Bridge. We sincerely feel that his friendly and helpful advice, fine series of lectures and capable assistance on the clinic did much to enhance the value of our dental education. The Forty-Niners wish to take this means of expressing our appreciation for the efforts he put forth on our behalf. Geor.ce H. Sandman D.D.S., F.A.C.D. 20 ARTHUR P. ADLER 311 W.

TEMPLE UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY 98 3n ffclemortam Hernan Jose Facio The tragedy which brought an untimely end to our colleague's career came at a time when plans for the 1946 Christmas holidays were uppermost in the minds of all. Hernan, his wife and three-year-old daughter, were never heard from after their transport left Miami on the last leg of its flight to Costa Rica. The extensive search conducted for a number of weeks over the Caribbean Sea and the dense jungles of Central America by the Army and Navy were all in vain. Hernan, born in 1920 at San Jose, Costa Rica, came to this country-in 1929. Before coming to Temple he attended Harvard University. Everyone who knew Hernan will recall his sincerity and congeniality. In the short time that he was our classmate, he was looked upon as a brilliant scholar and a true gentleman. The Senior class deeply mourns the loss of Hernan and his family. ♦!� The Saga of the Forty-Niners Arthur Williams Alt,. Chialastri Stanley Lipkowitz Bernard Geltzer Leo Wiley President Vice President Treasurer Secretary Student Council It was on a cold bleak morning in September, 1945, that we, a small band of about 90 brave prospectors, aspiring to fame and fortune, gathered in a dilapidated factory building in an abandoned section of the city of Philadelphia now known as 18th and Buttonwood Streets. It was our purpose to make preparations for a most vital undertaking. Every possible precau-tion was exercised to ferret out the incapable and weak. We were the cream of the crop.” After the formalities of registration were finally completed, we waited nervously for some' thing to happen. Some sat and smoked cigarette after cigarette, others huddled together in small groups. The same question was on the minds of everyone: What did the future hold? The atmosphere was tense. Minutes turned into hours in endless streams; finally the moment arrived. We were to gather in secrecy in the basement of our meeting place to hear our leader, who for security reasons will be referred to as G.D.T. It was only a matter of minutes before the room was filled. The air was filled with cxcitc-ment. The rafters vibrated with enthusiasm. Then, all alone, he entered through a secret panel in the wall and stood before us. Complete silence enveloped the room. The men sat erect, their faces beaming, their eyes reflecting faith in his leadership. In the dim light his head reflected a peculiar brilliance that resembled a halo. He spoke. It was in a soft, deep, re-assuring tone. He outlined for us our plan of operation and stressed the importance of our mission and the risks involved. Those who so desired could turn back now while there was still a chance. It would take most of us until 1949 to strike pay dirt we were told. Some would need more time, others might not even survive the journey. He left by the same way he had entered. The group sat in silence. They were stunned, but none the less determined to go forward. Our wagon train started rolling. The following weeks were filled with excitement. This was so very different from anything ever experienced by any in the group. In some respects it was terrifying. Months passed and there was no sign of relief. There was time for nothing but hard work. We were beginning to show signs of fatigue. To many of us there weren't enough hours in a day; to others the days seemed endless. A bit of reminiscence reveals that it was under the guidance of Chief Prospector “Uncle Louie” and his capable assistants, that we prospective men of fortune were taken on those exciting excursions up the inclines of the highest cusps and down to the depths of the deepest grooves. Tours on prevention extended into some of the most dangerous pits and fissures. “Dude Miller and his associates took us on trips along the banks of the Trigeminal, and we explored the Sterno-Clcido-Mastoid from origin to insertion. Oh how we sang, letting loose all ol our pent-up emotions. Remember how “Spatch” Rowen taught us to avoid the dangers of slumping plaster, and how “Moe” Leitch's travelogues in the dark gave us a chance to catch a few more winks? Early morning (Back) Tea with (S) Herbert Cobc and his “gate-keepers was refreshing, and those daring spins around the curve of Spec with Sumner “X were breathtaking, to say the least. Learn the fundamentals we were told, and learn them we did. Winter passed unnoticed. Spring was just another time ol the year. Finally it was summer and time for exams. These were 100 7c rat ier' Fo c(t The un __Curly handled successfully by most of us, but a few succumbed to the hazards of the ordeal. To those of us that survived this meant that we could spend the entire summer in preparation for the second phase of our journey. To those that failed, there was nothing. Fate had indeed dealt them a severe blow (or had she?). The officers appointed for that year were: M. Sperbcr, Big Time Operator; M, Pomerantz, Small Time Operator; R. Mosser, Recorder of Claims; R. Pitman, Assayer; L. Perahia, Chief Scout. It was in our sophomore year that we received advanced training in crossing bridges under the leadership of “Admiral” Sandman who “dared to say. It was one called “Jymes whose notoriety spread further than that of his namesakes of wild west fame. He will be remembered for his exams with the easy answers to difficult questions, colored drawings, and open-book sessions. “Shorty” Donnelley introduced us to Joe Bush, the victim at the necropsy table and constant reminder of our own possible fate. Those bruises incurred from sessions with “Laughing John and his frequent quick kicks (in the pants) have long since healed. He'll be remembered as a staunch friend upon whom we often depended for advice. Lighter moments were provided by those early morning frog races in the Fizz Lab under the sponsorship of Froggy Larson. During this phase of our journey to fame and fortune wc were prepared for “THL FLOOR. Before long its mere mention during the course of any lecture left many of us quaking in our lxx)ts. It was months before we realized that “Uncle Louie's reference to the “infirmary applied to the patients and not the students. Perhaps the most welcome bit of news during that entire year was the announcement that we were to move to a new location. The news was received with skepticism; could it possibly be true? No longer would we have to brave the hazards of Red's, Bob's or Betty's. This would be a new era of peace and plenty. It was rumored that the proposed location would even have a lavatory and other modern conveniences such as lockers, lights, etc. This was unbelievable! We would not permit ourselves to be the victims of malicious propaganda and disillusion as those before us. The representatives elected that year were: 101 A. Austin, Big Time Operator; H. Lord, Small Time Operator; B. Geltzer, Recorder of Claims; J. Chiantella, Assaycr; S. Cohen, Chief Scout. Our summer vacation that year was a bit pro-longed but the result was well worth waiting for. Much to our surprise 1947 found us situ-ated in comfortable surroundings at Broad and Allegheny. Our new field of operations was something out of a dream. It was spacious and accommodating, with the most up-to-date facilities. We are indeed grateful to G.D.T. through whose efforts the dream was realized. This change presented new problems of housing, meals, and transportation, but we quickly adjusted ourselves to our new environment. Together with this change in location there were instituted changes in systems, courses, instructors. and requirements which left many of us confused. Thus, we were slow in getting started, and once we caught on—the term was over. But by no means was the term spent without recompense. We investigated the realm of radioactivity from Alpha-L p-de-Beta {grave) battled with the Indians on the Franklord Plains with “General” Jackson; luxated in rhythm to the means of the condemned with ”4-sep” Stetzer and maintained our spaces with “Ernest” Ritsert. We scaled the ladder of Perry Odontia with “Two point-contact” Rothner and his group. Remember how patiently we waited for the vagabond king “Mad man Munch” to return from his round-the-world week-ends? It was probably during the third year of our training that most of us received our inspiration. For this we are indebted to those men we uncountered who devoted their every effort to helping us realize our future. The knowledge on various subjects that they imparted to us has been invaluable. Heading this list are “Medicine Man” Kolmer and “Big Jim” Cameron. There were others, many more. Together with the theoretical aspect of our TnS a t o ? cacfit- vcuJo D s crpp o n t nen t « n 102 Wtf er training there was the practical. We looked so handsome in our new white gowns. It was with caution and trepidation that wc first set foot on “THE FLOOR.” We had expected the worst to happen. It did. First there were demonstrations, then we demonstrated. We tried everything more than once, but could satisfy no one. We labored end-lessly, but to no avail. In Operative, exposure left us in the cold. In Crown and Bridge, our bridges collapsed behind us. In Prosthetics, we were characters without impressions. “Bucky Walter told us many, many times that we would never become seniors unless we showed improvement. The school was losing money, and patients were becoming scarce. The situation was most distressing. Unfortunately, only we ourselves knew that we were not a hopeless group. We were the victims of disorganization, incoordination, and inconsistency. We were determined to overcome these handicaps. Maybe the acquisition of several new members to our fold had bolstered our strength, for they say that there is strength in numbers. Anyway, at the end of our Junior year we emerged victorious again. Our losses again were only slight. Our success against seemingly overwhelming odds gave us added incentive to finish the race. We would not permit ourselves to be beaten so easily. We braced ourselves for the last lap of the journey. Our goal was already in sight, and we Forty-Niners were determined to achieve it. The class officers in that year were: S. No win-ski. Big Time Operator; P. Caruso, Small Time Operator; G. Rossnick, Recorder of Claims; L Wiley, Assayer. Travel was now becoming difficult. We had to lend much effort to our work. The obstacles we encountered were almost overwhelming. Clumsily we stumbled through mock boards. Every endeavor was met with resignation. We would meet our requirements and serve out all 103 our duties. That would prove to the whole world that we were worthy of our chosen profession; however, a review of the dismal past will reveal some gayer moments. Entertainment was provided weekly by the three-ring circuses with “Wild Bill Baglivo. Remember those adventurous cruises with “Gondolier Amsterdam through those tortuous canals? How inarticulate we remained in spite of “Pee Wee (Give 'em Hell) Miller? Then there was Sage (Brush) Campbell who taught us that “a winner wins and a quitter quits. We learned our rights and privileges in Jurisprudence and how to regain our health in Nutrition. Our class officers that year were: A Williams, Big Time Operator; A. Chialastri, Small Time Operator; B. Geltzcr, Recorder of Claims; S. Lipkowits, Assayer. Finally, the end of the term put an end to our frustrations. Our clinical requirements were completed, and we crammed for exams. Then there was nothing for us to do but wait for the verdict. So we waited. The training we received and the determination with which we accepted each challenge could not have failed us. In full force we emerged victorious. We had struck pay dirt by earning for ourselves the distinguished title of Doctor of Dental Surgery. Our journey was over. No more were we a weary, haggard, almost beaten band of prospectors tossing aimlessly on the sea of destiny. Now we were professional gentlemen with visions of a bright future seeking newer conquests. It is with sincere gratitude that we express our appreciation to Temple University School of Dentistry and its educators for helping us to realize our ambitions. The knowledge and confidence they have instilled within us have prepared us well to be a part of a glorious profession. May our every action reflect well upon them. This has been the Saga of the Forty-Niners. u id 104 The Juniors March On From September 17, 1946 to the present time, our class has marched on and are continuing to do so. The purpose of this march is two fold. Firstly, our efforts are directed to add more laurels and keep the banners of Temple Dental flying high. Secondly, our aim is to gain the coveted D.D.S. on graduation day. The first part of this goal has been reached and more will be added until that joyous day has arrived to fulfill the second part. For three years we have been jumping high hurdles. As freshmen we were hardly known. It was a difficult task to acclimate ourselves to school directly from the battlefields. As sopho-mores we began to come into prominence. The Minstrel Show paved the way. Our talents were coming out, and the battle fatigue was wearing off. Much of this credit belongs to Freddie Williams, who inspired Alex McKechnie, Joseph Viscione, Henry Yavorek, George Green, Bill Schwartz, and many other men to make it a reality. As a result the school was able to pur chase visual education equipment which has ah ready proved of value. This not only brought about closer harmony among the members of the class, but also with the faculty and the rest of the student body. We started this affair and we sincerely hope that this will be an annual occurrence. In our present year w'e have jumped a few more hurdles, and our class has gained added prestige. Through the efforts of our president and the executive committee, our class has been welded into one unit. This is a unit which has no weak link along its chain. This bond has brought to Temple Dental a feeling of home where there are no strangers. As a unit it has accomplished what the classes of the past have not been able to do. As a result a weekly newspaper w'as born. You know it under the title of the “Dental Mirror.' Once again our president Alex McKechnie undertook the task of creating it. He and his staff have done a wonderful job in bringing Temple to us. Our class has backed it up to the limit and will continue to do so until the succeeding class has taken it over. In the near future two handbooks will be issued—one to the incoming freshmen and one to the incoming juniors. For the freshmen, it will enable them to familiarize themselves with the school and the faculty. For the juniors, it will help them solve some of the problems that they will be confronted with on the clinic floor. This has been a hard job, but the class under its president has done a wonderful bit of work. Before this class graduates, many firsts will he in their records. Although wc are older than most men of other classes, we really hope we have started something that the following classes will carry on. On behalf of the Junior class, our best wishes to the Seniors upon graduation. As for the Juniors, well, march on fellows. 106 H. Abrams J Bisbas V. Carroll D. Doyle S. Gelb R. Averbach F. Boris H.

Young 110 omore Sophomore Class in Review Tempus Fugit—here we are coming down the home stretch of our second year; we wonder what category or nomenclature we can be placed under. Perilous days are behind us and the class has been perforated with all the sciences known to man, and even some unknown to society. We, the Grey Coat Boys, struggled through the first two years of our Dental Career with the following memoirs, lest we forget: Dr. Faggert Hamurabi—Royal Mineral Sue-ccdancum—Our old friend J. Foster Flagg. Dr. Herman—the centrally located cigar. Dr. Rowen ‘’Some fellows come to the lab to study chemistry, and others come to watch the pretty colors.” Dr. Donnelly—We've heard all about you! Dr. Leitch—Ontogeny recapitulate phylogeny. Dr. Baralt Tying up loose ends—the inevitable swinging of a bridge. Dr. Larson—“I have a notation on this lecture, but 1 imagine it pertains to the class of 41.” Dr. Miller—The Philadelphia Phillies and the “Whistle Jokes.” Dr. Jackson—“Esthetic harmony. Conventional esthetics, and you know the rest. Dr. Pallardy—“If you can’t convince them, confuse them.” Dr. James—“Let’s have the next one, Frank. Recapitulation of the Freshman Year Worry- Recapitulation of the Sophomore year—Get those punches! “Did you get the punch on the line?” “No, mine was off—off altogether; I didn’t get a punch. Well, all was not work last year; for the first time in school history our class put on a show under the assumed name of the “Temple Dental Players. The presentation of this show was planned primarily to promote enthusiasm and develop school spirit among the student body. The cooperation of those in the cast and the faculty demonstrated what could be done when we all do our part. Prof. Jymes’ old adage was brought to light, “don’t let studies interfere with your extra curricular activities.” Everyone has a far-reaching mental view of the coming “White Coat Days” when we shall put into practice the sciences we have absorbed to this point. Our goal is in sight. The class promises to be a prominent satellite in the “constellation of the Dental School. Our esteemed congratulations to the Senior Class. We have studied, worked and played together. Your wholehearted cooperation was ever prevalent in the interests which we have in common. Together we have undertaken many tasks which would have been impossible to perform singly. Here’s hoping we shall meet again on the threshold where our friendship was born. 114 Worry'—Worry. R.

We were the Freshman Class of “48” . . . the graduating class of “52.” Wc represent fourteen states and the territory of Hawaii two of our fellow classmen being from the South Seas. Our first encounter with this fine institution and some of our professors was many months earlier. After submitting applications and taking the dexterity and aptitude tests we had an interview, and from there on in it was anybody’s guess. Our patience was rewarded by a letter informing us of our acceptance. The few days that followed our registration were days of confusion, bewilderment, and anxiety. There were more tests, more forms to be filled out, pictures to be taken and books to be bought. In the midst of all this there was the hunt for suitable living quarters. But time heals many ills and we gradually quickened our pace to meet the new challenge. We received our equipment, filtered it, and carried the residue home to be analyzed at some later date. Classes began and the wheels of progress started turning. There were jaunts through the city in search of extracted teeth to be used in Oral Anatomy. We learned to differentiate between compound and wax, ciliated columnar and stratified squamous epithelium, vein and artery, cuspid and incisor, sucrose and levulose, and student and professor. Laboratory periods kept us busy during the day and fraternity smokers, various meetings, and studies kept us occupied at night. We were in the midst of a whirlpool of activity a never ending spin. As the first lap of our journey is over, we are awakened with a realization of what lies ahead and sincerely hope that we can maintain the fine traditions which were established by those before us. Wc heartily congratulate all seniors and extend our best wishes for their continued success. 122 Ackerman Bartoshesky Brink Cohen Difcnderfer M. Antonis J. Behlcr E. Bruno E. Cook V. Dunston A.

It is the purpose of this society to en-courage and develop a spirit of emulation among students in Dentistry, and to recognize in an appropriate manner, those who distinguish themselves by high attainments. The name of this fraternity and the design of the key, which is the badge of membership, are founded upon the initial letters of four ancient Greek words: Sateria, Adantos, Kai, and Hy-geia, which translated into English means Con-servation of Teeth and Health. Only twelve per cent of any graduating class may be elected to membership in this honorary fraternity. The twelve per cent being selected from the upper quarter of the class because of meritorious professional conduct and excellence in academic attainment. The following Seniors were elected: Orlando C. Campoli Paul B. Caruso S. Eugene Cohen Robert E. Higgins Ernest B. Johnson, Jr. Edmund H. Lange Stanley T. Nowinski Leonard N. Parris Raymond A.

In the fall of 1945 the format of the Temple Dental Review was completely revised by the staff and Faculty Advisory Board for the purpose of having the Review take its place among the select group of national dental publications whose object are to further dental education throughout the country. Previous to this time the Review was confined to the portals of Temple University, and con sidered merely a local publication organized by the students for the education and entertainment of the students. As the official quarterly publication of Temple University School of Dentistry, the Review is primarily concerned with increasing the stature of dental education, and offering the student body an opportunity to acquire the invaluable experiences obtained from the association with a student publication. Among other things, the Review serves as a medium of demonstrating to other dental students at other dental schools and potential dental students at undergraduate schools the activities and calibre of students we have at Temple University Dental School. 137 The Dental Mirror STAFF Editor Alexander J. McKechnie Feature Editors Fred Williams. Witold Kreswick, Peter Young Reporters Herbert Shire, Walter Kinsey, Orlando Campoli, Frank Keating Publishers Henry Yavorek, Joseph Viscione, John Warren, Leonard Zebrowski Circulation Carmen Rocco The Dental Mirror is a publication giving a cross section of life at Temple Dental School. It is published weekly by the students with the principal theme of reflecting student opinion. Letters, opinions, and criticisms are welcomed and serve as editorials or open reflections of thoughts concerning the school. The staff this year proved its capabilities and showed much enthusiasm in its work. Any student interested in this issue and proving his ability is qualified for membership on the staff. The physical make-up consists of a mimeographed legal size paper printed on both sides. Features arc all of dental interest with the main purpose of making Temple Dental School a better school and instilling some school spirit into the student body. Essentially a project of the class of '50 the other year groups have joined to put the paper across. It is financed by the students and an entirely extra-curricular project. With continued support of an ambitious repor-torial and editorial staff, there is every reason to believe that The Dental Mirror is on the campus to stay and will make definite and more rapid advancement towards a more representative professional college newspaper. 138 paternities Alpha Omega Fraternity President .....

Pitman ....................Alvin Melser ..................James Holzman .....................Irvin Gerson .................Jerome Horowitz ....................Sol Kornblum The Theta Ramach chapter of Alpha Omega evolved from one of the founding chapters of the national fraternity. It was originally the Ramach fraternity of the Philadelphia College of Dentistry. In 1908 Ramach joined with Alpha Omega fraternity of Baltimore, Maryland, to form Alpha Omega, an organization which to day boasts of national prominence in dentistry. Fraternalism and professionalism are the basis of all activities, the focal point of which is the chapter house at 3234 North Broad Street This house was purchased just before the dental school moved to its new location. Unlike our school. the house was not a marvel of modernity and comfort upon occupancy. Despite the many hardships and vicissitudes which usually acconv pany house renovations of late, the men persevered and were able to whip the house into a very presentable condition. They are all very proud of their house and the efforts expended in its behalf. As always Alpha Omega takes pride in the graduating class, and extends to all heartiest congratulations and best wishes for a very sue' ccssful professional career. 140 Seniors Arthur Adler Jack Bernstein Merritt Brodie Emanuel M.

Worthy Master Scribe Treasurer Historian Deputy Assistant Deputy Delta Sigma Delta is the oldest of the dental fraternities, having been created on November 15, 1882. at the Dental School of the University of Michigan. It is also the first fraternity to restrict its membership to students of dental schools or practitioners of dentistry. Delta Sigma Delta granted a charter to Rho Rho Chapter at Temple University on September 18, 1945, at which time a nucleus of thirteen members were initiated. The objectives of the fraternity are to keep high the standards of dentistry by inculcating in the minds of dental students and practitioners a spirit of fraternal cooperation towards scientific, ethical, and professional progress. It is the desire of Rho Rho Chapter to stimulate a feeling of cooperation and enthusiasm about the campus in all professional, social, and athletic programs. Attainment of high scholarship is one of the prime objectivesol the organization. We believe that by succeeding in these purposes, we instill in the mind ot the student a foundation upon which he can build his future professional career. In the fulfillment of these objectives he will bring credit to the profession, the school, and the fraternity. We wish to thank our graduating seniors for the encouragement and leadership that they have given us; and to wish them success in their coming professional endeavors. 142 Seniors Steve Dobranski Gene Konopka Roy Mosser Gene Munchak George Purdue Leo Wiley Juniors Edward H.

We feel, however, that this is not just another anniversary which will he remembered by a numerical title, but rather it is one that marks a year in which the objectives of Psi Omega Fraternity have reached a new height of attainment under the guidance and leadership of our Deputy Councilor, Dr. Carl E. McMurray. The remarkable progress made in dental education at Temple University during the past four years is well known to all. Just as well known to Psi Omegans of Eta Chapter is the remarkable progress made in fraternalism during this same period. We saw the dream of a new Psi O Fraternity House at the new school site become a reality. We saw the Fraternity cultivate the social qualities of its members; surround each member with friends to whom he could turn for advice and assistance when needed; assist its members in all their laudable undertakings; and we saw the Fraternity exert its influence untiringly for the advancement of the dental profession in methods of teaching, of practice and of jurisprudence. These arc the objectives of Psi Omega, and we saw them in action. 144 Seniors Richard E. Boothman Orlando C. Campoli Phillip Golden Albert Hazzouri Ernest B.

During the preceding quarter of a century the society has succeeded noticeably in fostering the fraternalism and in' culcating the ideals of the profession among the students. In the hearts of those of us who for the past four years have been a part of Sigma Epsilon Delta, there is a feeling of pride. We are proud of the role that we have played in helping to maintain the position that our fraternity has held among professional societies; a position of precedence. We, who are now to be graduated, do not feel that this is the termination of our close friendship. The years of our immediate asso- Bernard Kreshtool Samuel Schwartz Burton Schwartz Melvin Denholtz Martin Robert Bon da Dr. Jack Solot Dr. S.

From the freshman smoker in the Autumn of ’45 to the senior farewell in the spring of ’49, we will always cherish the amity that we shared. Some one to listen to your story, some one to laugh with you or console you. The Fraternity gave us that someone. As we step forward to receive our diplomas, we turn to the underclassmen. Quickly will the time pass until you too will don the cap and gown. Rather than alone, you must strive mu-tually, for the reward is one to be shared. We, the graduating seniors, fully realize the significance of fraternalism. For, in sincerity, we have come along together. OFFICERS 146 Seniors M.

The Junior A.D.A. has maintained its usual one hundred per cent membership. This year the society set aside May 9, 1949, as Junior A.D.A. Day. This was an unprece- dented event in the life of the Temple Chapter of the Junior A.D.A. The event was conducted as a dental scientific meeting and included scientific papers and table clinics. The meeting was terminated by a dinner that evening. The principal guest speaker that night was Dr. Harold Hillenbrand, secretary of the American Dental Association. 151 MARGARET A. BAILEY Professor of Oral Hygiene Supervisor of School of Oral Hygiene RUTH M. HECK Assistant Supervisor of School of Oral Hygiene Greetings: It is with pleasure that I extend this greeting to the Oral Hygiene section of the “OdontologT This is the first time that the members of this department have a part in the yearbook while they are still undergraduates. As the first class to be matriculated under the extended curriculum I wish you every success in this first year and hope that all of you may appear as graduates in the next year book. Sincerely, Margaret A. Bailey Professor of Oral Hygiene Supervisor, School of Oral Hygiene 154 Class Officers President Vice President Carolyn Coleman Edith Whitaker Secretary Treasurer Doris Davis Becky Harmon To the Oral Hygiene Class of 1950. Dear Gang: Here we arc studying like beavers in the Oral Hygiene Class of 1950. With the completion of our first year at hand, we are quickly becoming acquainted with the requirements set by the School of Oral Hygiene. What’s school about? Well, frankly, it's the tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth. Few become better acquainted than do the oral hygienist and her teeth. This year we are very proud of our new' dormitory which is located on Allegheny Avenue. It’s just another home for us and furnished just the way we want it. With all of its good at' mosphere and fine girls, it’s something to be proud of. Surveying the class, we find girls from many parts of this country. There are girls from Maine to Florida and from Pennsylvania to Indiana. It didn't take us long to get acquainted, and soon we had elected our class officers. Activities began with a song, “Be True to Your Teeth or They'll Be False to You.” which was introduced to Miss Bailey by all the girls. The idea of singing together developed into a wonderful plan for the Christmas show. The Temple Dental All Girl Choir, our recognized name, added color and a touch of solemnity to the show with its processional and Christmas Carols. Here we want to tip our hats to Gwen Cooper, our director. Of course several of our outstanding O. H.'s became stars in the show. We were very proud of perky little Janice Wright, who rendered a fine tap dancing routine and of Sue Israclit and Beverly Osier, who sang their w-ay into the hearts of the entire audience. Semester finals came with the usual amount of nervous tension and anxiety. This was soon over and forgotten, for clinic was in the near future. When the day arrived, we were all bursting with eagerness and excitement, but our stiff white uniforms helped supply the professional manner which we had to acquire. The rest of the year saw us spending more hours in clinic and special assignments. We are all aware of the work and experiences ahead of us. How shall we all come out? Well, next year we shall be back on these pages again to tell you. There will be something new and different about us though, for next year we shall be a graduating class!

(It’s hard to tell which one has the most troubles.) This mild mannered chap has worked out a system all his own. He and his wife both attend Kolmcr clinics. Frank sleeps and his wife takes notes. Later Mrs. Behler lectures and you can be sure he doesn't sleep then. Jack Bergftein— Medicine Man The modern medicine man. Jack has discovered many new techniques which he hopes will soon be recognised by the Dental Profession. The only chap ever to use a 22-gauge tube for the purpose of measuring tube teeth. He improved his Cr. and Br. technique after discovering that voids in soldered joints can be treated with gold foil. Has a devastating power over women. Arthur Adler— The Crooner A local boy who has made the grade. Became known as the crooner when caught singing to a patient while plugging foil. Does all his technique using the latest methods approved by “Reader's Digest. Mahah spent the summer tending to the damsels that wandered into Camp Log Tavern. Jack Bogdanotf— Carnpoli’s Buddy Bog is a very amiable fellow. Made a fortune in his sophomore year selling physiology chimograph records. Specializes in Root Canal Therapy for O.H's. Travels with Gampoli and is still trying to figure out how to cross the Delaware River Bridge without paying toll. 160 Martin Bonda— The Lip A product of the plains of New Jersey, the “Lip ventured across the broad expanse of the Delaware River and took up residence in the S.E.D. house. He rarely hollers above a scream, and usually waits until the conversation dies to a shout. Although age has left its mark, he is really a young fellow and often looks to Edcl-inan and Seigel for paternal guidance. Merritt Brodie— Shoulder Shoulders is no relation to the famous Steve, proven by tracing his family tree back to the cave dwellers. He roomed with Elkis for many years, yet in spite of this maintains a good average. lie blames his ups and downs on elevator shoes. A card shark, he is known as Banker Broker Brodie to his victims. Herbert Brilliant— Muscle “Muscles is the strong arm boy of the class'. His padded gown has made him the envy of the clinic. He often hides in lus operative case when try' ing to avoid instructors. A great aid to the operative department, for without his profound knowledge of horology Dr. Herman would have been late for many lectures. Richard Boothtnan— Ladies Dentist Hand some Dick cun always be found where there is a crowd of young ladies. All his patients are females between 20 and 25 Runs a dating agency on the side. He sets aside one day a month for studying. Takes a different O.H. to Lancaster every week-end. Enjoys various indoor sports. He did a fine ;ob as Grand Dragon of Psi Ornega. Plans to specialize in feminine molar mangling. Orlando Campoli— The Operator Camp spends most of his time polishing the old apple. He is disliked by some instructors who have not been invited to his parties. The only student to complain of too much instruction on the clinic floor. He occasionally is seen doing his own technic. Catches for a semi-pro ball team and holds the position because he looks terrific behind a mask. Emanuel Carbonaro— The Comedian” Carby is a constant source of amusement for himself and others. Always docs head-stands and imitations for his patients to get them in a good mood A weight lifter in spare time, he now can life his operative ease over his head. Carby will be a great asset to the Army Dental Corps, and may completely revolutionize Army tactics. 161 Anthony Caruso— The Lover” Tony is a very quiet fellow, but don’t let that fool you. In the presence of the fairer sex he changes completely. Being a Lt. in the Maritime Service may have something to do with his expert feminine technics. Well liked by all. he seems to work hard at anything he tackles, especially above. Paul Caruso— The Voice” Here’s a fellow that seems to enjoy life even though he is married. Has often entertained the class with his fine voice. Sings continuously during lectures and while working on patients. A good actor, he has imitated Groucho Marx with very little effort. We are sure his office will be filled with music lovers. Augustine Chialastri The South Philly Flash The pride of the South Philly bookies. Gus is quite a fellow. He is well noted for being able to shout louder than any instructor or classmate during lectures. Always considerate of his classmates he never heckles anvonc (unless he gets the chance). After graduation he expects to become one of Dr. Baglivo’s henchmen. Joseph Chiantella— The Irish Rose” Chanty” is a true son of St. Patrick. He has often helped to spread good humor by his actions and jokes. He belongs to the mob headed by the South Philly Flash. Noted for his brilliant questions and remarks, he has helped to maintain hilarity during lectures. Sidney Cohen— The Student Top man in the class. Gene seldom is seen without having his nose in a book. Has been known to sit at his desk for 2 weeks before exams without moving. Once during his four years he took time out to attend a party at Lazar’s apartment. Bridge constructing a specialty, he has recently become an honorary member of the marine engineers league. Changes character on Sunday to become a morsel distributor. A hardworking student. Gene is sure to be a success. Emanuel Comora— The Pedo Kid” This New Yorker is strictly professional. He never wears loud ties or sharp suits. He will probably win the Pcdo prize for service beyond the call of duty. It has been suggested that a portrait of him be painted in the Pcdo waiting room. His blonde hair is the envy oi all the O-H.'s. Recently entangled in the bonds of matrimony, he is now an earnest advocate of that institution. 162 Horace Cutronc— Flat Bush Boy” Hal is a close associate of the South Philly Flash. He is a likeable fellow who recently got himself a life-long partner. We understand the agreement between Hal and his father-in-law is something like this—for every gold foil he inserts on the clinic he receives a new car. Never missed a week-end at home during his four years at school. Stephen Dobranski —- Camera Man Steve is known for his tailor made suits, starched collars, and 14K gold cull links. He has a collection of the most modern scientific developments in Dentistry. These range from a device for casting amalgam inlays to a radar unit fur locating impacted root tips. His hobby is photography, and he deserves a well done” for his donations to the Odontolog.” Alfred Edelman— Clast Father Everybody thinks A1 is old. but he doesn’t look a day over 35. His fatherly advice is always welcome. A1 has been doing some experimenting and recently announced development of a performed cement base for all types of cavities. This should increase production of fillings in the clinic to about two per month. A1 comes from the Pittsburgh area where he owns a mine that produces dental alloy. Francisco Fernandez— Cuban Pete Our South American friend is usually a pretty quiet fellow. Once in a while he finds someone who understands his lingo and then he can really talk. Wc think he spends pretty much of his time at home with his pretty wife, and wc don't blame him at all. Preston Elkis— Money Bags Press manages to scrape along on his $5,000 a week allowance. He was recently expelled from the clinic floor when found to be plugging $5 bills in a class 1 cavity. In the French section of Quebec he is known as the American Charles Boyer. Enjoys his technic courses so well that he thinks nothing of recasting inlays and partials four or five times. Stanley Flandcr—1 The Turtle Speedy Stan was loaned to Temple for four years by the New York Chamber of Commerce and the Philadelphia C. of C. will be glad to give him back. He showed the local boys a few new angles, especially since he met the I ain’t no friend of yours” girl. Handball is his favorite sport and he gets his practice by retrieving dentures that bounce off the lathe guards. 163 Bernard Gcltzer— The Secretary” Bcrnic is a friend of everyone, especially the fairer sex. He is a well known night club operator and specialises m a wide range of chorus girls as dental patients. He therefore has no trouble getting assistance on the clinic floor. Insists his curly hair is due to good living. Sidney Glanz— The Muff The Muff recently moved to Mohc-gan Lake, N. Y., and wc understand he is trying to collect water rent from the fishes. This fellow leaves no stone unturned in his ctlort to please Dr. Baglivo. He went as far as chopping down a 100 year old cedar to obtain a block of wood on which to mount his operative technique. En|oy$ playing card;- with Brodie Philip Golden— The Snabby A veteran of sonic of the fiercest engagements of the V-12's. Has many interesting stories to tell of his earlier days at T.D.S. A quiet fellow at school, he manages to come to life whenever there is a Psi O party. Intends to return to the Navy and swab out Class II cavities Albert Greenfield— Ozark Ike” A1 is known as the Ozark Ike of North Broad St. He changed his residence during the senior year and looks much better since breathing West Oak Line air, During a recent transit strike he was clever enough to make appointments with a patient having his own car. The fact that this patient lived next door to him was coincidental. Jesse Gutman— Jap Jesse, much misrepresented when referred to as “Jap, has always helped his classmates. Willingly loans and borrows instruments, especially the latter. His hobby is breaking master models (not his own) the day they arc to be turned in. We wonder what effect he will have on the Navy. X t Reginald Harvey— Early Bird” Reggie's entrance into the morning class is a signal for the roll to begin. In his four years at school he can proudly state that he never made an 8:00 o’clock class on time. A hard worker, especially the week before exams when he decides to do his year's technique. He has promised Higgins a job as his chief lab. man. A family man, Reggie has sold insurance and pulled many big deals to keep him in the high income bracket. 1 C 4 1 hts Wont Hurt A dtt Better Lute r ra t W ‘uer Ha atess Dentist F«U }ht Scuter L Demonstration Men at U orA hmrftnx of a Km at Albert Hazzouri— The Banana Man” A1 plans to have a banana stand in his office—needs the extra cash to keep his three Buick convertibles running. He has become a well known agitator and instigator. Clinic instructors fear his threatening glances and check his work quickly. He believes that gen-crating heat in cavity preparations kills the bacteria. Expects to win the Hess Prize for Pulp Exposures.

The lights are out and the curtains pulled enveloping the room in darkness. The doors are locked from the inside. There is a knock on the door no one moves. Then there is another knock followed by a rattling of the door knobs. Still no one moves. Silence prevails for about five minutes, then suddenly the transom bursts open and Dr. Gaboliv squeezes through head first. The class officers assist him to the floor. Everyone rises and sings the Sulfanilimide Song. Dr. Gaboliv: “O K. fellas!' Class (in unison): “O K. Doctor. Dr. Gaboliv “Let's have the roll call, Williams. Williams: “Come on Doctor, you know we're all here. Dr. Gaboliv: “Then we'll dispense with the roll. Are there any questions before I start lecturing? Harvey: “Will you show us how to mix cement. Doctor? Dr. Gaboliv: “Very well. Will someone go to his locker and get some cement, a slab and a spatula? Class. “We have no lockers. Doctor. Dr. Gabohv: “Then will someone go down to the clinic floor and get his case? Class: Today is a Junior day. Doctor, and no Seniors are allowed on the floor. Dr. Gabohw “Then will someone go down to the supply house and buy some? Press: “I'll go, Doctor, I have a ring in the oven and I have to cast now anyway. He leaves. Parris: “In the meantime, would you please discuss the technique of taking an impression for an inlay by the indirect method? Dr. Gaboliv: “First take the cylinder into your fingers and manipulate it until it reaches the desired shape. Be sure to lubricate the cavity well. Tease it into place slowly, then drive it home. If you are satisfied, remove it from the cavity. Chiantella: “How long must you leave it in the cavity? Dr. Gaboliv: Until it cools. Carbonaro “How much do you charge for that? Dr. Gaboliv ignores the question. Press then returns with the cement, slab and spatula. Dr. Gaboliv: “O K. fellas! Class: “O.K. Doctor! Dr. Gaboliv: “Now let's cut the stuff, fellas! He then proceeds to demonstrate the technique of mixing cement for cementation of an inlay. “With two drops of liquid we incorporate 760 million particles of powder, or if preferred, 580 million per drop and a half. Now we spatulate, spreading the cement over a large area. Kornblum: “Is that clockwise, or counter-clockwise? Dr. Gaboliv: “That depends on whether you are right or left handed. Chialastri: “Would you please draw that on the board? Dr. Gaboliv ignores him. Class: “Diagram, diagram! He then proceeds to draw a slab with cement smeared over it. Loud whistles and boos follow. Dr. Gaboliv: “Alright fellas, I'm going to let you out early today—fifteen and one half seconds before twelve. The class then cheers and breaks into farewell song as the distinguished Dr. Gaboliv exits. 175 Fundamentals of Successful Orthodontic Treatment Front the lectures of Dr. Stonewall J. AcJ son THE PATIENT PRESENTS HIMSELF AT THE OFFICE. THIS INDIVIDUAL IS THE PRODUCT OF THAT COMBINATION OF 6,000 MALE AND 6,000 FEMALE GENES WHICH HAS MADE HIM A UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL. DOES HE PRESENT STRUCTURAL BALANCE? FUNC' TIONAL EFFICIENCY? ESTHETIC HARMONY? THESE QUESTIONS MUST BE ANSWERED IN ORDER THAT TREATMENT CAN BE STARTED. THERE ARE CERTAIN AIDS WHICH ARE HELPFUL WHEN IN DOUBT. THESE AIDS INCLUDE: THE X-RAY, PHOTOGRAPHS, THE POSITION OF OCCLUSAL ADVANTAGE, AND CERTAIN LINES WHICH ARE DRAWN THRU IMPORTANT POINTS. (SEE FIG. 2.) NOTE: IN THE ILLUSTRATION THESE POINTS ARE LABELED TO AID IN STUDY. HAVING MADE A DIAGNOSIS, AN APPLIANCE IS SO CONSTRUCTED WHICH WILL PROVE EFFECTIVE IN IMPROVING THE FUNCTIONAL EFFICIENCY AND ESTHETIC HARMONY FOR THIS UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL. 176 THE APPLIANCE INDICATED IN THIS CASE IS A COMBINATION EXTRA-INTRA ORAL TYPE WITH AN INFINITE VARIETY OF AUXILIARY SPRINGS. CALLED THE “DOUBLE WAFFLE IRON BY SOME. A MORE SU1TABE NAME PROBABLY WOULD BE THE WAR SURPLUS. (FIG. 3.) AFTER YEARS OF CAREFUL OBSERVATION. CONSTANT RE-EVALUATION, THE CASE FINALLY IS COMPLETED. THE APPLIANCE IS REMOVED AND, IF INDICATED. A MAINTAINER IS PLACED IN POSITION. IN THIS CASE A MAINTAINER WAS CONTRAINDICATED. THE PATIENT NOW POSSESSES A SUITABLE COMBINATION OF STRUCTURAL BALANCE. FUNCTIONAL EFFICIENCY AND ESTHETIC HARMONY (FIG. 4). AT LEAST, WELL WITHIN THE BIOLOGIC LIMITATIONS OF THE INDIVIDUAL. 177 Point Song (Sung to the tune of “TheMoneySong”) If you got them, You don't need them; 11 you need them, You don't got them.

If you work hard Points come slowly If you pat backs Points come easy You don't want them You’re coo'coo Funny, funny, funny What points can do. 178 Helpful Hints for Underclassmen A common complaint of dental students is that they are overworked. The Freshmen are told of the increasing requirements that will be piled upon them as they progress up the ladder. This causes many students to unnecessarily loose their hair. Upon careful calculation the fallacy of this assumption is brought to light. Carefully examine the following: There are 365 days in a year. The Dental Student sleeps 8 hours a day ................................122 days Count out Saturdays and Sundays........104 days Take 3 hours daily for meals ........... 46 days Dental Student's vacations yearly ...... 80 days 5 minutes daily for toothbrushing ...... 12 days Total .............................364 days This leaves 1 day per year in which to work and that turns out to be Labor Day when no one works. Therefore the average Dental Student has only one day in his four years at school to work and that is during leap year. So, why worry????? Excerpts from Previous Exams Prosthetics: Interpretation of the question is impossible, so please do not seek information from instructors. TRUE OR FALSE: 1. It is not entirely untrue, not withstanding certain limitations, that taking the impression is the most important phase of denture construction. 2. Eccentric occlusion is not centric occlusion, but it may be mistaken for centric occlusion; therefore it should be associated with eccentric occlusion. 3. The patent number of the Hanau Articulator is X6243195-65. 4. The free way space was once referred to in Dental Literature as the breathing space, or swallowing space. 5. Plaster of Paris gives excellent impressions of the ridges, as well as the tonsils, uvula, chin, nose, and eyelashes if the patient is cooperative. 6. The static impression technique gives an over-extended impression but does not impinge on the soft tissues. Roentgenography (X-Ray): FILL IN THE BLANK SPACES: 1. The of — X-Ray -------is-------. 2.

Suddenly his eye balls popped out. He swallowed his false teeth his face turned green while his ears remained salmon pink. The toes on his right foot turned up, while the toes on his left foot turned under. He was seized with convulsions, vomiting, sneezing, and hallucinations of dying— which he did. A post mortem showed he had hemoglobin in his liver. Outline the cause of death and chemical processes in the tissues responsible for the symptoms produced. 179 My Periodontia Case By Stew Dent I was nervously awaiting a call from Oral Diagnosis the first clinic day of my Junior year 1 sat in the Sobel Lab. with many equally worried classmates. After smoking two packs of cigarettes and chewing the corner off Dr. Gisse's desk, I entered upon what was to be one of the most pathetic ventures any dental student ever experienced. I was paged to report to Oral Diagnosis for a patient. Here 1 examined the patient's oral condition and discovered deposits of calculus and debris (referred to more properly as schmutz ). The patient was aware of his condition and desired prompt treatment. I proceeded immediately to the X-Ray department. After spending two weeks taking five sets of X-Rays (with retakes) and reporting to diagnosis every other day, 1 was permitted to take my patient to the periodontia clinic. Here I was greeted by many smiling individuals all having different types of mustaches. I learned later that these were the instructors. Their names were Dr. Venus, Dr. Scalin and Dr. Brushner. Each instructor brought a bundle of charts to me which, 1 was told, had to be filled out in triplicate before any treatment could be given. After sterilising my fountain pen, I set to the task. Six visits later, I had almost completed the charting. There were only a few questions to be answered, such as: “What was your Grandfather's Mother's middle name? “At what age were you born? “When did your first deciduous bicuspid erupt? I was told these questions had an important bearing on the case diagnosis. Finally at the end of the seventh sitting, 1 completed all the charts. 1 had at my disposal a complete history of my patient and all his ancestors as far back as 4000 B.C. (It was not necessary to investigate the family tree further, since the value of the earlier ancestry was questionable.) The next procedure I undertook was diet analysis. I carefully instructed my patient to record everything inserted into the oral cavity over a three week period. In order to “Save Time I also gave toothbrushing instructions at this time. I explained both “Starter's and Chill-man's techniques. At the end of the three week period, I carefully checked the diet chart and to my amazement found that the patient was deficient in everything but No-Doze tablets, alcohol (90 proof), and chewing tobacco. This had a definite bearing on the case. I highly recommended a diet containing less No-Doze tablets and chewing tobacco, and informed the patient to switch to Calvert. The next sitting I was surrounded by the smiling instructors who were very anxious to demonstrate the next procedure. Each daintily demonstrated the various uses and movements of the scaling instruments. (I had previously sterilized my 758 periodontal instruments, which included scalers, saws, chisels, curettes, diggers, planes, toothpicks and probes.) 1 was just about to begin the procedure myself when Dr. Scalin said that he wouldn't peek, but if I needed him I should just call and he would come over as fast as he could. I lost count of the number of visits after that, but it was getting close to the end of the term, so 1 called Dr. Brushner to examine my patient and check off the case. Using a ball burnisher, he carefully examined the teeth for any remaining deposits. He found a granule of calculus at the apex of the upper third molar, and informed me that I had to do another complete scaling procedure. The last week of my Senior year, 1 finally had completed all the necessary steps and called the instructors to examine my patient. They looked in the patient's mouth, uttered something unintelligible, and turned away sorrowfully. Apparently my patient had been the victim of some dreadful condition. They insisted that although the teeth were in good condition, the gums had to be removed immediately. When I gained consciousness, I realized that I was back on the farm with my parents. They informed me that I had not been permitted to graduate because I had not completed a Periodontia Case. To myself I said, “Oh well. I didn't want to be a Dentist anyway.” ISO Crystal Qazing—Ten Years Hence ADLER Understudy to Frank Sinatra. BOOTHMAN—Playing concertina ducts with an accordionist. BRILLIANT- Assisting Bailin.
