Dr. Roeck has served his alma mater since his graduation in 1946 first as instructor and then as Assistant Professor of the Prosthetics Department, Secretary of the Faculty from 1958 to 1961 and Assistant Dean since 1961. He has unfailingly applied himself to every phase of Temple Dental School's activities from such committees as Executive, Curriculum, Loans and Scholarship to publications and Faculty Senate Representation and has represented our school via numerous clinics and lectures. In 1948 he married Alice J. Granlun, a graduate of Temple University School of Oral Hygiene. Dr. and Mrs. Roeck have two children, Frederick and Carl. A man who knows how to make people feel at ease, he is well known for his wonderful sense of humor. When not engaged in dentistry, Dr. Roeck enjoys mechanical projects, photography, travel, and golf. In parting, the Class of 1965 wish to extend their sincere appreciation to someone they value most not only as an excellent teacher of those skills which will someday measure their own worth as a dentist, but also as a most respected individual esteemed for the ageless values of integrity, forthrightness, honesty and modesty. DALE F. ROECK, D.D.S. 5

DEDICATION It seems fitting and just that our yearbook should be dedicated to a man who is unselfishly dedicated not only to our class and to our school, but also to the profession of dentistry. The high esteem in which his friends and associates regard him attest to his outstanding character and integrity. A sincere teacher and true friend, he is a man of high principles. A motto found under the glass of his desk expresses his philosophy of life: I shall pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not deter or neglect it. for I shall not pass this way again. It is with pleasure and deep appreciation for all he has done that we. the Class of 1965. dedicate this Odontolog to Dr. Dale F. Roeck. Dr. Roeck was born in Camden. New Jersey. June 18. 1922.
