DEDICATION Next time I'll uie a rod and reel. Mr . Frank's troublemakers. The Class of 1963 has the unique distinction of being the centennial graduating class. Years from now, as we look back, in retrospect, upon our four years of study, the honor which we are sharing because of our predecessors, will provide for us warmth which is an integral part of memories. We so choose to share our honor and add to our memories by dedicating our yearbook to an esteemed friend and teacher, Dr. HARRY FRANK.

His ambition was to help his fellow students achieve their utmost in scholarship and clinical excellence in congenial fraternal atmosphere. In this he succeeded beyond expectation. The growth and development of the Delta Chapter as well as the Philadelphia Graduate Chapter are living monuments of his efforts.

In this one-hundreth anniversary year of Temple University School of Dentistry, the Class TRIBUTE of 1963 wishes to pay tribute to three men whose loyal servico totals one-hundred years and who will be retiring shortly. The first of these, Doctor Louis Herman, affectionately known as Uncle Louie, has been associated with Temple Dental School since his graduation in the class of 1919. For the past forty years he has carried out his duties as instructor of Oral Anatomy and Operative Dentistry in a manner which has brought distinction both to himself and Temple Dental School. In 1950, as Professor of Oral Anatomy and Operative Dentistry, he also assumed the responsibility of Director of Graduate Studies and Director of Student Admissions, in which two positions he will remain although retiring from his didactic chores. Throughout these many years he has maintained a warm understanding and interest in his students and many past as well as present graduates owe him much for his encouragement and confidence. A Fellow of the American College of Dentists since 1953, Doctor Herman has accumulated many well deserved awards for his outstanding service to the profession as well as the dental school. We of the class of 1963 hope that he will be around for many more years in his capacity as Director of Graduate Studies to welcome us back for numerous continuing dental educational courses.
