f mm 32JJJ33J3 331T5JI3 - rj_ r t E r iv l fro If ODONTOLOG OF DENTISTRY • P H I L A ., PENNA FOREWORD Four years ago the members of the senior class scanned the future, some with skepticism and uncertainty, others with optimism and assurance, but each with an unswerving objective. Nearly every individual in the class had served his country during the unprecedented war which had just ended. Mature minds had developed during the conflict and their goal had become an obsession. To them the path was clear and straight, but gorged with obstacles only the courageous dared engage. Problems of financial independence and supporting families, enough to falter the meek, had to be compounded by the full time requirements of a professional education. While the laity struggled in their readjustment to the post-war world, these individuals shouldered the added burden of a relentless quest for knowledge. Today, in retrospect, the years have been short. The seemingly insurmountable obstacles have dwindled or disappeared. The first milestone in a career has successfully been passed, and not without its lighter moments. All has not been drudgery. Fo remain, and pleasant associations These arc the tangible in the Odontolog for future school and the city where these memories for reflection in the years to co ain, enduring friendships ve been made. rs which we have attempted to record ence.

It is our earnest desire that this yearbook will provide a “treasure chest” of fond recollections of Temple Dental School days and help bring back to our thoughts the numerous friendships, hardships and pleasures that we all encountered while receiving our education. With the benefit of the excellent training that we have been given, we will be better equipped to take our places in the world of dentistry and help to carry on the fine ideals and standards set by the members of our profession. May this Ondontolog serve as a stepping-stone to bigger and better records of achievement by the men and women who are privileged to be a part of the School of Dentistry of Temple University. 6 Dedicates This Issue to . . . To give prudence to the simple. To the young man knowledge and discretion, That the wise man may hear and increase in learning. And the man of understanding may attain unto wise counsels . . Proverbs 1:4, ? At this point we pause to honor one of our teachers, Dr. Michael A. Salerno, a man on-dowed with the rare ability to find the best in everyone of us. Many men have great technical skill: still many others are excellent teachers; but, “our Mike combines these qualities with understanding and encouragement. His criticism is coupled with explanation; he instructed us to help ourselves. Dr. Salerno, for your understanding of our needs, for your patience and guidance, and for your sheer good-heartedness—we thank you. Dr. Michael Angelo Salerno In token of our appreciation for your services to us. Dr. Salerno, we of the Class of 1950. proudly present this boohK to you. s:. K 1 Many Before Us Have Taken This Pledge The Dentists’ Creed To respect my profession, my reputation and myself. To 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! They Establish the High To study or work or live in Philadelphia is to be an intimate of history. The Republic was nurtured in these environs, and its shrines are almost as numerous as street corners in the ceo-tral city. Not all the shrines are political. Milestones in the development of education, science, invent' tion, the arts, religion, healing, industry, and social welfare are strewn thick through this old city, and each tells of America's greatness and her growth. Temple University Dental School is one oi those milestones. You graduates in the class that comes mid-point in the twentieth century are joining hands with a line of distinguished practitioners and fellow alumni reaching back into the middle years of the nineteenth century. The Dental School in almost a literal sense represents the child that has been the father to the man. Its establishment antedates that of Temple University by more than a score of years. Only three other dental schools were in existence in the United States at the time of its founding, and the Philadelphia Dental College, then its name, wrote itself indelibly into the annals of the profession. It was first to make oral surgery a part of its curriculum. The first hospital devoted to surgical treatment of diseases of the mouth and teeth was set up under its auspices. Those accomplishments were forerunners of many others. A wise commentator on the human scene has described history as prologue. Your school is exemplification of that wisdom. The leadership given to the profession by the Philadelphia Dental College was the preface to the story of service and achievement that you yourselves have seen unfold at the Temple University Dental School in a way that has thrilled us all. Yet that story has not ended. The chapters yet to come will be written by you as much as by me, the faculty, and the trustees. Working together we can make them brilliant episodes. I am counting on your encouragement and help. ROBERT L. JOHNSON PRESIDENT ROBERT L. JOHNSON President 10 Standards We Maintain GERALD D. TIMMONS Dean TO THE CLASS OF 1950: Nineteen Hundred and Fifty!!! What a flood of thoughts those figures bring forth and how much meaning they can have for you if you will but pause and reflect on their meaning. They mean the end of the first half of the twentieth century and to Dentistry that is a very significant period. At the beginning of the cen-tury Dentistry was struggling for recognition. It was then but a mechanical art. The training re' quired was minimal, at that time it was only necessary to have one year of high school educa-tion before one could embark on a three year training in the profession. Think what that training could include and then compare it with the training you have received. Does it not immediately point out the fact that Dentistry has changed from a mechanical to a bio-mechanical profession? Does not the training you have received make you truly a guardian of the health of the people and should you not accept this as your major responsibility? We still sec around us some of those men who graduated fifty years ago. Ponder on their thoughts as they view the transition which has occurred and then pause to consider how much many of them have contributed to the progress of the profession. Many of you who graduate in 1950 arc old beyond your years because you participated in the gigantic struggle between Nations. You helped to preserve a way of life without which there would be little reason to live. In making the contributions and sacrifices you have made, you have earned your right as citizens in a free country. Guard well those rights, help protect them for those who are to follow you. Let me charge you now to so pattern your professional life that when the next fifty years have passed those who are to come may point with pride to the service you will have rendered not only to your profession but to your fellow men.

ELDRACHER It is with deep regret that the class of 1950 mourned the passing of our fellow classmate, John G. Eldracher, who was stricken with poliomyelitis while serving as Captain of the Beach Patrol at Sea Girt, N. J. He succumbed on August 13, 1949. John was graduated from Trenton Central High School in 1937 and from Villanov.i College in 1941 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. He entered the Army in 1943 and served with the Office of Strategic Services in the China'Burmalndia theatre of war. He was honorably discharged in February 1946. Upon his admission to Temple Dental School in September 1946 he immediately became affiliated with the Newman Club and Delta Sigma Delta Fraternity. To his many friends “Jack” was a true symbol of a fine spirited young man who in his quest for education stood out as a well-liked and respected member of his class. He will long be remembered by his fellow students. The Progress of the Class of ’50 Perhaps you may recall that eventful day, Sep-tembcr 17, 1946, when we were first gathered as a class in the upper amphitheatre of the “Old Building paying heed to those generous words of wisdom professed by Dean Timmons, “Gentlemen and Miss Henneberger, may I welcome you to Temple Dental School and may I add to a noble branch of the art and science of the healings arts. You are the first post-war class, and I feel that your many experiences will benefit you a thousandfold in your chosen career. The average age of this class is in the neighborhood of twenty-seven which indicates to me, and the members of your Faculty, that you have a very excellent idea of what you want, where you wish to go, and that you are here to gain a degree of D.P S. on graduation day. Permit me to remind you that you should learn, early in your student days, to budget your time. Your schedule has been planned in order that you will have sufficient time to grasp the basic principles and fundamentals of your pre-clinical years. Learn to utilize your time wisely these first two years for this one factor will eliminate many of your problems of the Clinic Floor and later on as you enter your practice. . . .“ On and on these words of kindly advice seeped into our minds. As we retrospect we also find that it was one of the very few times during our student days at Temple Dental that each and every student remained silent while someone was addressing the class. For the first few weeks many members of our class were amazed by the respect that some of the upper classmen offered us.

For the first few weeks many members of our class were amazed by the respect that some of the upper classmen offered us. Occasionally some Senior or Junior would step aside in the congested corridors to let us pass by or perhaps hold a door open in order that we may enter a room without much effort. Later on when these upper classmen discovered that these aged creatures were Freshmen and not new instructors—the amazement disappeared along with the respect. Many members of our class easily acclimated themselves to the surroundings of 18th and Button' wood. Occasionally we would hear some chap say, “Holy cow, this part of the school reminds me of tooth. The more artistic student had his “Pin Ups displayed while the less artistic chap was not ready to exchange Jane Russel or Lana Turner for a bell' crowned molar or a sleek cuspid. The well defined and sweeping curves of the teeth were duplicated in wax carvings by the little pcn'kntfe Santa brought us that Christmas. Do you recall how each anatomy lecture began with a songfest and how Jack Eldracher would lead us Not a creature was stirring, not even Steinberg If the Mountain won’t go to Mohammed. . . . Our own Jolson Story I thought this was Dental School Now let’s see, is this a posterior or an What do you think he has? anterior tilt? Anzio or another say, “Don’t look now but a few battered palm trees and a bit more dirt around this part of the place and tt would look just like Tarawa. Most of the first year proved somewhat bewildering when we were asked to identify “red dots, “black dots. “gray matter or duplicate in our notebooks a projection flash of some involved histologic drawing in a completely blacked out room. Perchance you might recall the A-.D.A. specifications for various dental products. The Bureau of Standards took great pains in testing these materials and we were willing to take their words for it, but “Rip Rowen made us spatulate, manipulate, triturate, and applicate each material for our own satisfaction. A few sessions with “Uncle Louie brought out the creative genius in our class and after some persuasion wc somehow visualized the curvacious beauty of the over each note? After a jolly song and a snappy joke and a lecture about some structure of the head or neck we ambled into the anatomy lab. Jerry Steinberg took all honors for dissection work. Phosthetics was somewhat of a nightmare at first, but gradually after hours of lecture and laboratory work we somehow arranged the plaster on the walls in a more uniform manner, rather than splatter it about haphazardly. Some members who attempted to recreate the Battle of the Bulge” with some of the equipment were asked to write a short fifteen hundred word composition relating the cardinal points on “How To Take Care of Laboratory Equipment. Just as wc were beginning to understand vertical dimension, centric relation, the summer vacation was at hand and the Freshman Year came to an end. After some slight delays, we started classes as 83 Sophomores and it was during this year that wc gained prominence. After we unfolded ourselves from the scafolding, and the Instructors were able to distinguish the students from the painters, carpenters, plumbers, plasterers and electricians, the members of our class began to display certain talents. We felt that the new building needed life and through the efforts of Freddie Williams, who inspired many members of the class, the “Minstrel Show took place. Herb “Little Ambassador” Abrams took care of the Red Cross and' the March of Dimes. Ray Spatz succeeded Herb Shire as President of the Class and we soon learned that Joe “Scooter” Loiacono was our biggest problem of the Sophomore Year. We also became acquainted with “Joe Bush,” that is, after we got on the beam and became astute students. After one thousand and nine questions and answers we proliferated through oral histology and pathology. Dr. Sandman entered the Navy after trying to teach us some Crown and Bridge, and the latest reports have it that the Lt. Commander has recovered but wishes to remain in the flotilla. Prosthetics became a bit more involved with partial dentistry and immediate insertions. Somehow the storms of a rough second year were over, and we looked forward to a rest with the hope that the Promotion Committee would permit us to enter the Junior Year. A bit of reminiscence reveals that wc were proud to don the starched clinic gown and march out on the clinic floor. Our expectations were great and as we collected bits of information from various demonstrations, the gowns began to wilt as we struggled with our cases, rubber dam exercises, and prophylactic treatments. We possessed such intestinal fortitude and tried many, many things many, many times. At first it was rather difficult to satisfy everyone, but through the efforts of our President, Alex McKechnie, and the Executive Committee, and the instructors of the clinic floor, we soon found organization. As a well organized unit we were able to reap the full benefit of the instruction offered to us and accomplish far more knowledge and work than previous classes. While some of us spent weeks in Wc have with us tonight the most renowned . . . DR. CARL E. MacMURRAY; gave unstintingly to us many hours of his valuable lime as faculty advisor throughout our junior and senior years. Radicdontia wading through retakes, others thought of a weekly newspaper. The first “Dental Mirror” was edited and published and it helped to instill a friendly feeling at Temple, Dental School. Subsequent issues continued to add to this friendly atmosphere. The class did not sit back and relax, but gained added prestige by formulating “Handbooks” for the Freshmen and Juniors. The Freshmen were able to acquaint themselves with the school and the faculty. For the Juniors, the handbook aided them in their problems vvhich they would find on the clinic floor. Between a high cement base or a leaky rubber dam, wc gained much knowledge on various subjects and acquired sufficient skill to complete the required credits of the clinic. We are sincerely grateful to those members of the faculty who devoted their every effort to help us achieve these credits and realize our future. We are also grateful to Marie Sammartino who cheerfully greeted our patients and efficiently assigned our chairs; to Edith Guerra and Peggy Eddings who collected the fees and cheerfully doled out the materials; to Alice who issued towels and napkins and sterilized our instruments; to Jean Whiddcn who aided us in our problems in the Pedodontic Clinic. The successes we harvested, against seemingly overwhelming odds, afforded us additional spirit to better our record during the Senior year.

Erlacher T.' Feldman E. Flood I. Friedman The History of It was October 20, 1947, that we, the class of ‘51, with much uncertainty and little knowledge made our first stumbling steps in the maze that was the new dental school. We were the first freshman class to matriculate at the most modern, spacious, and well-organized dental school in the U. S. A. Our minds were not charred with memories of the Old School; we all realized that we were a fortunate group to have the honor of fulfilling our dreams at a school which marked a new era in Dentistry. We were a determined group of freshmen, the majority of the class being veterans, a large number being married, who were willing to settle down and work towards the goal we had selected. After the manual dexterity test some of us wondered whether our selection had been wise. Then quickly came registration, photographs, checking of supplies, lectures, fraternity smokers, and before we realized it, we were in the thick of school activities. Dental politics entered our lives for the first time and Frank “Cecil” Clement was assisted by John “On my honor Albert in the government of the frosh. Stan Dietz recorded the minutes while Perry Matz took care of the shekels. Sam Paul was our student council representative. These boys did a swell job. Memories, oh memories. Our class is loaded with them. Remember . . . “Will you please stop that silly noise?” pleaded Mr. “Moe“ Leitch whenever Marshall “Kiss Me” Ludwig asked a question. The lab exam and “Whats the red dot?” “Move on—time's up! Oh, well, when you don’t even get a look at a slide and the odds are 60-to-1, always take the liver. Who has the Duco? 88 the Junior Class Did your brass pass the acid test, or did Mr. Rowcn scratch you from that race? Is this essential or non-essential? John Eck switched to Calvert because Calvert contained more amino-acids. Dr. Herman plus the pep boys—Mcrvy, Crandy, and Fag—let us cut off our finger tips to develop digital dexterity. Many of us tripped over line angles and were stuck by point angles before the year was over. Dr. Sporty Miller quick-kicked a number of us with his quizzes, but Joe Skellchock always led us to victory singing “Dry Bones. Dr. “D Limquico: “Know your anatomy or you flunk.” After a short but delightful summer we all returned for round two of this four round title bout. An upper classman told us the freshman year was the hardest; if we could only remember his name, we'd expose him. The woes of the sophomore arc heaped high. We realized hdw much we appreciated Moe after our good friend, Dr. Jymes, bombarded us with proliferation, failure of the tooth band to atrophy, “the perverted metabolism of the ameloblasts, and only 687 questions and answers at the reduced price. Irv “De Mille Friedman and Shelly Maestro Greene were the shining stars in this course. Dr. Timmons told us we were a hand-picked class. However, we still had Dr. Herman to deflate our ego with memories of tooth carving. “Uncle Louie again greeted us, but with an entirely new script. Put that tooth back in the typodont, Tony.” Keep the mirror in the left hand at all times” (this confused and slowed down all the southpaws in our class).

Dr. Donnelly and Joe Bush caused many peculiar “conditions to exist in our class. After much thought and discussion we finally solved most of our conditions with a biopsy. No one will ever forget Dr. Larson. He entered the lecture room at 2 P. M. (more or less), had five or six books with him, erased the board and then turned to the class and said Shut up! He then proceeded to give us tips on the Physiology exam the following day. Look over blood, circulation, digestion, nervous system, respiration, Pennsylvania Dutch baked beans and pages 3 to 999 inclusive. That’s all. We certainly were busy bees the last few weeks of the sophomore year, but with Carmen Riviello as President, Tom Smith as Vice-President, Bob Moyer as Treasurer, John D'Alessandro as Secretary, Ted Jarvis as Student Council Representative and with a little cooperation from everyone, we all survived the crucial sophomore year with our eyes on C day and round three. And so in this, our junior year, we realize how important our first two years of theory and typodont work were. No longer do we gaze enviously upon the upper classmen.

The majority of us were as stiff as the starch in our jackets, but slowly and cautiously we adapted ourselves to our new environment and new difficulties such as patients, appointments, disappointments, x-rays, prosthetic work, pathology cases and last but not least, requirements. We are all gaining more knowledge and poise from th'e inspiring lectures of Dr. Cameron, Dr. Heck, Dr. Kolmer, Dr. Ritsert, Dr. Updegrave, Dr. Baralt, Dr. Rothner, Dr. Castigliano, Dr. Flanagan, Dr. McMurray, Dr. Pallardy and our class advisor, Dr. Weil With their thoughtful guidance the horizon is coming closer and closer, and we are all anxiously awaiting the day when we are seniors. To the graduating class of 1950 ... we juniors are proud'of you. You have set an example which we will endeavor to duplicate and pass on to oncoming classes. Temple Dental has profited by your untiring effort; you have added the spirit and helped mold our stu' dent body and faculty into a unit which is a credit to dental education. On the other hand.

To add to all this, there is the cloud of State Boards hovering overhead ready to break loose during vacation. Many new techniques were to be handed in and mysteries solved before wc could be titled juniors. In operative lab we found Dentistry could be interesting (and expensive at fifty cents a tooth). The use of the many new “Tools of the trade were quickly absorbed and class Il's were found to need just a slightly larger reien-tion point. The use of patients (in the form of a typodont, of course) proved very helpful and at times amusing. And who will ever forget the many tedious hours spent plugging the class IV with gold? The mysteries of centric relation and vertical dimension were finally cleared up this year along and so became restless for the sophomore year to begin. If the first year seemed to move rapidly, the second really flew by. In the early days wc were in low gear, but within the'week we kicked into second, and before long were rolling month after month in high. From the upper classmen we had learned that the sophomore year was one continuous examination and rightly so. As soon as 100 Boy, isn’t that a beaut?

Dr. Freyvogel said he wanted 63. mm. and 63 mm. it's got to be. In crown and bridge many found it difficult to carve an occluding pattern, cast without ob-taining some old monstrosity, and to get all the pits removed from the finished crown but we feel I came here to learn Dentistry and they’ve got me playing a new fangled saxophone. that although our failures were many, our knowl edge has broadened. Dr. James had the difficult task of teaching us Histopathology, but once he announced that he would award a bronze plaque to the outstanding student, there was a great increase in activity. From that day anyone who dared look at a slide was bucking for the plaque. However, these two years have not been all work. Our instructors added humor to many lectures, and our classmates always had a fitting remark. These along with fraternities, social functions and inter-class sport activities kept our spirits from reaching an all time low. Being so closely associated with the dental faculty, may wc show our gratitude by wishing them well. To our associates, we sincerely hope we have maintained the fine tradition of our predecessors and will continue to do so in the remaining years. And to the seniors, we sincely hope the future holds many happy and prosperous years to a deserving class. 101 in the mouth. And I thought apple polishing was rough.

After waiting patiently we received that great letter of acceptance and were all eager to meet the new challenge. On the 13th of September, 1949, one hundred and thirty men assembled in the auditorium of the Temple University School of Dentistry; we were given our instructions and calendar of events and once again we took the 108 the Freshman Class Close the door Doctor, there’s a draft.

The purpose of the society is to stimulate an interest in clinical pathology, to aid re-search, and supplement individual and lecture room study by clinical demonstration. This is accomplished by practical and motion picture demonstrations and by outside speakers who at the monthly meetings discuss topics having dental interest. Membership in the Society varies yearly, depending upon the scholastic abilities of the stu' dents in the courses pertaining to Dento Histo Pathology.

Erlacher The Newman Club, as we know it at Temple Dental-Pharmacy School is an entity in the mosaic formed of some five hundred Catholic clubs spread throughout the United States and Canada. These Catholic clubs are part of the National Catholic Youth Council, a co-ordinated organization approved by the American Hierarchy. The majority of these clubs are Newman Clubs founded through the foresight of the eminent Cardinal Newman, who banded them under the Newman Club Federation which has eighteen Provinces covering the United States and Canada. The National offices of the Federation are located in the Youth Department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, Washington, D. C., from whence eminates counsel, ideas and aid in any problem or project its members encounter or undertake. Returning now from Washington to Philadelphia, we find the congenial Father Kimble presiding as the chaplain of the Temple Dental-Pharmacy Newman Club and doing a terrific job, while carrying other responsibilities, in assuming the role of the guiding light for the club’s balanced programs of religious, intellectual and social activities. He was appointed by the Bishop of the Diocese when we moved to our new location here at Broad and Allegheny Avenues. At this writing approximately two hundred Dental and Pharmacy students enjoy the benefits of the club, and the membership is constantly expanding. The members and their friends participate in social affairs and gatherings once or twice every month to listen to prominent speakers of the Catholic world and to conduct the business of the club. The students not only receive the good of the talks, but they also become cognizant of the pupils with whom they can converse on matters concerning the religious side of school life—which solidarity would riot be possible if these acquaintanceships were made through other agencies. The Dental-Pharmacy Newman Club extends the best the world has to offer to the Class of 1950. 121 President ........... First Vice-President . . Second Vice-President Secretary ...........

The society exists as a medium through which the students may obtain a thorough knowledge of the many advancements being made in the pro-fession of Dentistry. Meetings are held once a month, with a prominent speaker on the program who delivers a lecture on some phase of Dentistry. The association has set aside May 5, 1950, as Junior A D A. Day. This precedent was established last year and the event was a tremendous success. This year, the Jr. A.D.A. plans to make it even greater with scientific seminars—papers to be delivered by the Seniors and table clinics. The goal that we seek in performing our Jr. A.D.A. activities is that of furthering our education. As future members of the dental profession, one cannot afford to pass up the many opportunities which come with membership in the Junior American Dental Association. 122 PUBLICATIONS £ The Philadelphia Inquirer Building The Dental Review STAFF OF THE REVIEW'' Editor-in'Chief ................John Lcbo Editorial Board ..........Joseph Viscionc Fred Williams Bernard Becker Frank Summers Business Board........................Paul Buckley Leonard Mitchell Stanley Diets Photographic Editor.........Eugene Harber Art Editor..........................Arthur Joselson John D'Alessandro (ass't) Undergoing a complete revision of format, the new “Temple Dental Review,” the official publication for Temple University School of Dentistry was published during the fall of 1945. The revision, made by the student staff and Faculty Advisory Board, was for the purpose of having the “Temple Dental Review take its place among the select group of national dental publications whose object is to further dental education throughout the country. Prior to the year 1945, the “Review was confined to distribution within the portals of Temple University and at that time was a local publication organized by the students for the education and entertainment of the students. The “Temple Dental Review primarily is concerned with increasing the stature of dental education, and offering the students of the dental school an opportunity to acquire those invaluable experiences obtained from the association with a student publication. Students have the opportunity to serve on the “Review staff and those who write suitable papers of dental interest are invited to have them published. Printed quarterly with a circulation of 900, the “Review serves as a medium for demonstrating to dental students at other schools and potential dental students at undergraduate schools the activities and quality of students in attendance at Temple University School of Dentistry. 124 The Dental Mirror During this school year “The Dental Mirror” celebrated STAFF OF THE DENTAL MIRROR its first birthday.

Consolidation of Alpha Omega of Baltimore and Ramach of Philadelphia formed the basis of Alpha Omega, an organization that has grown to a position of international importance in dentistry. The excellent example of the class of 1950 in transferring our new house into a hospitable and professional fraternity gathering-place, is an ac-complishment Alpha Omegans can dwell upon with pride and gratitude. The excellent facilities already provided make it possible to increase par-ticipation in professional, social and athletic pursuits. To keep all the fraters in constant touch with the manifold activities of the new fraternity, a newspaper, the first in fraternity history both nationally and locally, was initiated by the same class. This valuable adjunct has become an integral part of Theta Ramach fraternity life. Those of us who remain wish good luck and Godspeed to the graduates; they may depend upon us to carry on the fine traditions of Alpha Omega.

Rho Rho Chapter celebrated its fourth anniversary on September, 1949. Its growth from a nucleus of thirteen men in 1945 to a present total of fifty-four active members and thirty-two pledges, is an indication of definite progress. The growth of the Chapter can be traced directly to the goals which it sets for its members. Among these are the constant pursuit of self-improvement scholastically and spiritually in order to bring honor to the profession of dentistry and better to serve the needs of mankind both as a dentist and as a fellow citizen. These aims have been furthered by the present class of seniors, who through their spirit of cooperation and participation in school activities, both extracurricular and academic, have brought great credit upon themselves and the school. Among these seniors, Delta Sigma Delta is proud to include the following: Ed Brown, Paul Buckley, Dick Covert, Don Hess, Tom Higgins, Bill Engler, Chick Jay. Witold Kreswick, John Lefco, Alex McKechnie, Dave Raffensperger, Carter Rudy. Rene Varnn, Joe Viscionc, Fred Williams, Hank Yavorek, and Peter C. Young. Our thanks to these men for the encouragement and leadership they have given us, and may we wish them the best of luck in all of their pursuits. r a OFFICERS Grandmaster .................................Alex McKECHNIE Worthy Master.....................................Carter Rudy Scribe .........................................Edward H.

We have seen many improvements made at 1505 Allegheny Avenue during this past year; the major changes being the refurnishing of the rooms and the expansion of the laboratory facili' ties, accompanied through the diligent efforts of the brothers and under the guidance of our Deputy Councilor, Dr. Carl E. McMurray. These new surroundings afford the opportunity for more study and work. The objectives of the fraternity arc: to provide members with friends to whom they can turn for advice and assistance when needed; to further develop the social qualities of its members, and to exert its influence for the advancement of the dental profession in methods of teaching and practice—and these have been fully demonstrated. It is believed that by attaining these objectives the member will be better suited to embark upon his professional career. To the graduating class of 19 0 wc wish to extend our thanks for their leadership and friendship and wish for them success in their chosen profession of Dentistry.

The Delta Chapter, at Temple University School of Dentistry, was inaugurated in 1923 and since then has grown to assume a leading role in campus fraternity life. Sigma Epsilon Delta is proud to have among its graduates men who are outstariding leaders in the dental profession. This same quality of leadership is fostered at the Delta Chapter for the betterment of both the fraternity and the school. Propounding the aims and ideals of Sacrifice, Education and Devotion, fraternity members are encouraged to’attain the highest standards in both fraternalism and dentistry. We who are privileged to have been members of such a fraternity, will long cherish the memories of the true fraternal spirit. On the eve of our entrance into an esteemed profession we are proud of Delta Chapter, whose past is marked by accomplishments and whose future holds the promise of still greater achievements in conjunction with Temple University School of Dentistry.

Ill Xi Psi Phi February 8th, 1950, will mark the sixty-first anniversary of the Xi Psi Phi Fraternity. Gamma chapter was instillated at the old Philadelphia Dental College six years before the turn of the century, in 1894. We can boast as being one of the oldest dental fraternities in the country. During these many years a tradition based upon the principles of knowledge, morality and friendship has been formulated by our predecessors. The fraternity has never failed to meet with these high ideals. Today, after fifty-six years of co-existence with the Temple University School of Dentistry, Gamma enjoys a high reputation on the campus. The fraternity house has undergone a number of alterations this past year. With many facelifting chores finished, the beautification program is almost complete. The house witnessed many an occasion of gaiety and friendship. To the graduating members of our fraternity, as well as to the remainder of the senior class, we extend congratulations and good wishes for success.

I'll be getting my Oral Hygiene certificate June 15th! I'm sorry I didn’t have time to write all year but they really kept the seniors stepping, so I’ll try to catch up on all the news now. It was swell to get back to school last September and see everyone again. However, Trudy Wood and Barbara Willever did not come back so now we only have fifty-two in our class. The marriage bug struck the class over the summer; Lillian Warshoff and Ruth Avery came back married. Joan Horner followed in their footsteps during the Thanksgiving vacation and Carolyn Coleman at Christmas. Gee, they all seem so happy. ... I hope the rest of us are just as lucky. Those horrible Pennsylvania State Board Examinations that were taken during the hot June days were the topic of conversation when we got back. We all passed so I guess they weren't so bad after all. Marguerite Kelly was the lucky one to attain the highest grade. What a student! I believe I told you last summer that each RUTH M. HECK Assistant Supervisor of School of Oral Hygiene 140 OFFICERS President ....................................Marguerite Kelly Vice-President ...........................................Fredda Lipps Secretary .....................................Edith Whitaker Treasurer .................................................DORIS Davis senior had a freshman for a little “sister. ' Well, the first thing we did when we came back was to have a Big-and-Little Sister party at the dormitory. We had a good time becoming acquainted with each other and scaring the poor Freshman by telling them of all the trials and tribulations of oral hygiene students; such as the long three hour manikin labs; filing, drawing and carving a full set of teeth and classes from nine to six. It really wasn't as bad as it seemed as we now look back. Our Christmas Show was quite successful again this year with complete class participation. Gwen Cooper directed, again and scintillating Sue Israelit touched a warm spot in everyone's heart with her moving rendition of Sweetheart.” Our class is given credit for having started the tradition of the O.H. Chorus with the impressive candlelight procession. We hope our successors will keep it going with the same enthusiasm. Everyone tells us we have been guinea pigs during the past two years as we are the first two year class ... we lived in the first O.H. domitory, tried the first dormitory dining hall system, tested the new two-year curriculum, etc. We certainly owe Miss Bailey and Miss Heck a great deal of credit because it worked out so fine. Other schools are now using our curriculum as a pattern for their classes. We have been kept busy this year in the clinic since Pennsylvania passed the law permit-ting hygienists to apply sodium fluoride. We have worked mostly on children. We seem to think Philadelphia school kids should soon be cavity-less.” Our biggest social event of the year was our senior week-end, March 11th, which included a class party at the dorm Friday night, our formal Senior Cotillion” at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel Saturday night and a Buffet Luncheon and open-house at the dormitory Sunday. The whole week-end was just simply wonderful. Other social events during the year included a hayride and a weiner roast last October and a class Christmas party at which time we all exchanged gifts and then went Christmas caroling. Well, that’s about all the news for now. We're all busy studying for our various State Board Examinations and looking for jobs. Golly, Dad, all I can say now is thanks just millions for making these two years possible and I'll be seeing you at Commencement in Convention Hall. Loads of love.

Oral Hygiene Freshmen OFFICERS President...........Janice Hutchinson Vice-President.......Betty RoMESBERG Secretary..................Jane RUHL Treasurer..................Sue Brown Remember that opening day last September when everyone was trooping around the halls with a dazed expression on her face wondering what to do next? The amazing thing about it all was the fact that everyone managed to sign her name in the right place, give her money to the right people, and say yes at the right time. The final result of this endless confusion was registration in the Temple University School of Oral Hygiene, and it was a proud day for all of us. Later, after we lost our bewildered expressions and began to look around a bit, and got to know each other, we found that ours was quite a repre-sentative group in respect to geographical location. The deep South was well depicted by the soft, drawling voices of the girls from Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. This was counteracted by the clipped accents of the girls from Maine, Connec-ticut and Pennsylvania. After getting into our school work we found the course of study excellent. Soon we were substituting technical terms for our previously acquired layman’s language of dentistry. About the middle of the semester, the Bacteriology Department took a look at us and decided that such exceptional experimental material should not go to waste. Consequently, they set up an experiment with us as the guinea pigs, to determine the effect of ammoniated toothpaste on the teeth and tissues. As a result, a few of us chewed and spit our way through the latter part of the first semester in the interest of science. Arrangements for the Christmas Show consumed much of our time after the Thanksgiving holidays, and our class was very proud of the special talent contributed by Marlene Fike and Sydelle Grower who sang beautifully, and Marlyu Feinberg whose piano solo was marvelous. Having passed our finals, still another problem faced us. We had to start work in the clinic. Thus on that fateful day, with quaking knees, shaking hands, and perspiring brows, we stumbled into the clinic to perform our first prophylaxis. Surprisingly enough we all lived to repeat the performance and now' consider it to be just another routine in our course of study. All in all this has been a very eventful year and a most profitable one. We have all enjoyed our associations together and, finals permitting, hope we may return again next year as serious-minded seniors. 158 ELYSE BARTON TERESA BIEDLINGMAIER NADINE BROGELMANN MARGARET BEWARD CAROLE BLOCH NORMA ABRAMS DORIS BABB Prcity flowers?

STANLEY ZAGLIN Zag —alias Drop the Handpiece Louie, usually 177 This is the Chapel where the boys pray before casting. I Shoulda Stood in Bed In our desire to leave with the school tangible improvements, we record here an experience from which succeeding classes may benefit. It is the diary of a senior student covering a week of work in the clinic—not a typical week, thank goodness, but it could happen to you. TUESDAY 9 A. M.—Administered the third sodium flouride treatment to my pedo” patient without much trouble. Proceeded to prepare a DO cavity on the upper right second deciduous molar. After that brat saturated a carton of cotton rolls, drank four gallons of water (a swallow at a time), made a half dozen trips to the you-know-what, and completed his 400 question quiz about what I was going to do, I got the prepara tion checked off. At 11:57 A. M. the amalgam seemed adequately condensed, although slightly aquatic, and beautifully carved. I dismissed the kid at the urgent prodding of the nurse who brought him from school. Nine steps away from the chair, he turned and pointed back at that molar—he had crushed the marginal ridge of my restoration!! i P. M.—Had a chair completely set up for my patient in the operative clinic, all preparations made to apply the rubber dam in record time, and make real progress. At 1:45 I reluctantly gave in to reality—a disappointment! Oh well, I could deflask a denture and polish it if Charlie was finished processing it by this time. By four o'clock, not a doubt remained that the only solution to a porous denture is a complete remake. THURSDAY 9 A. M.—I wasn't a bit perturbed when my Crown and Bridge patient arrived one-half hour late. What should I worry about, wasn't I going to insert a six unit bridge? It was shined to perfection and had the touch of a master craftsman. I was just about to decide to specialize in this highly lucrative branch of dentistry when my little balloon suddenly burst. How was I to know that my preparations were not parallel? Before I get another year older, I'm going to perfect a method of soldering bridges with the direct intra-oral technique. 1 P. M.—Back to operative again. Forgot to reserve a chair, but managed to sneak aboard before my patient became too disguested with the delay. I'll bet that no sailor ever heard more vile names than I called myself for accepting patients who only had specific times when they could sit for me. All of this tearing down from one department and setting up in another is beginning to infringe on my pinball hour. No sooner had I started to work than I had to stop to sign up a patient for whom I had voluntecd to make one of Dr. Saunders' ready-to-go” dentures. The rest of the after' noon went smoothly until Dr. Craig asked me why I had applied Mercurochrome to the cavity. I blushed and looked back at my work, sure enough there was an exposure. Just another three week delay. FRIDAY 9 A. M.—Had a fairly good morning in spite of the fact that I got the bur caught in the rubber dam and had to apply a new one. I managed to prepare and fill a Class 1 amalgam. Started cleaning up in time to get some clean towels. Went up to Alice's cage, dropped the soiled towels in and shouted “two and one please.” Where” she said just as if she didn't trust me. I wound up by paying thirty cents in order to calm the atmosphere. 1 P. M.—Established vertical dimension after spending a full hour explaining to my patient that I was only repeating these steps in order to insure her of a perfect set of dentures. That seemed a much easier explanation than trying to push off a glob of porous acrylic on her. There wasn’t a Coble tracer left in the place so I did'nt get any centric relation. Crossed the street for a cup of coffee and a recapitulation of the week's work. For all the good a Class 1 amalgam filling does to your record, I shoulda stood in bed.” 178 A glimpse ... 20 years hence finds ABRAMS . . .

It is evident to the committee, the Surgeon General, and myself that the dental profession is not co-operating with the Compulsory Health Insurance Program to the fullest extent. Allow me to serve a final reminder, that if the situation does not improve immediately the Committee on Dental Health shall have no other recourse but to direct a greater responsibility to the laboratory technicians. As you well know we have had to give them Crown and Bridge and Denture Presthesis already, and if the dentists refuse to co-operate in this matter they will soon be limited to administering Periodontal treatment only. The following are examples of cases which have been brought before the Board of Dental Justice during the past month, with the diciplinary action which was approved: 1. Case No. 207-A. A dental student at Temple University refused to apply the rubber dam for prophylaxis. Action: Transfered to pharmacy school. 2. Case No. 940. Chugalug, N. J.—A republican dentist refused to treat a member of democratic party. Action: Banishment to Alaska. 3. Case No. 45-C. Scranton. Pa.—A dentist accepted a $1,000 gratuity from a coal miner (on strike since 1949) for application of an unauthorized fluoride treatment. Action: $2,000 fine. 4. Case No. 7021. Chicago, III.—Two dentists took unauthorized leave of absence from the Randolph St. Dental Clinic to attend a baseball game. Action: Restricted to quarters for 30 days. 5. Case No. 8I B. Atlanta. Ga.—An oral hygienist recorded false answers to thirty questions on Periodontia Form 37-2. Action: She was compelled to write one hundred times—“I will never again falsely fill out my form.” 6. Case No. 503. Corncrack, W. Va.—Members of the Coon County Dental Society were discovered distilling their own anesthetic agent. Fortunately, none ever reached the patients. Action: Membership required to wear shoes in clinic for three months. 7. Case No. 69. South Philadelphia—The regional dental officer was found secretly operating a six-chair tooth-easy in an abandon ceramics lab. Discovery was made when an undercover agent learned the password— Bags sent me. Action: Officer was released to the custody of the Mayor after agreeing to construct six, twelve unit porcelain bridges (no gold showing) as punishment. The above examples of misdimeanors are only a few of the many which have been occuring. We will not be able to accomplish our goal of perfect health for everyone under the conditions of gross insubordination displayed by the dental profession. This is the last warning you will receive, and I trust that you will direct the entire membership of the American Dental Association to act accordingly. Escar R.

MORE DENTISTS RECOMMEND the PY-CO-PAY Toothbrush to their patients than any other toothbrush The reason why Py-co-pay is favored by such a wide margin of the dental profession is because of its six-point appeal: 1. Its small, compact head. 2. Its two rows of bristles, six tufts to a row. 3. The straight-trimmed design of its bristle tufts. 4. Its right-sized handle. 5. Its duratized natural bristles, increasing their life up to three times. 6. Its Py-co-tip interdental stimulator. Py-co-pay brushes are available with either natural or nylon bristles, as preferred. ff if-co-pcu PYCOPE, INC. • JERSEY CITY 2, N.
