DEPARTMENT OF FIXED PARTIAL PROSTHODONTICS 2 It is with great pride that we, the class ol 1969, dedicate this ODONTOLOG to you. Dr. Paul John Waicus. You have been recognized by both your students and colleagues for your meritorious achievements in the field of dentistry. The class of 1969 has shared the benefits of your wise council and untiring devotion to lofty professional standards. Standing on the threshold of our professional careers, we are able to appreciate the enrichment you have given us through your spirit of co-operation, your friendliness, eagerness, and patience. It is exposure to such high idealism and contact with proponents of such professional values that prompt many of us to strive for and maintain a higher degree of quality in this health profession. The transition from student to instructor is certainly a unique one, and especially so if completed in one year Dr. Waicus was graduated from Temple Dental School in 1966 and by 1967 he was functioning in the capacity of a lull-time instructor in the Department of fixed Prosthodontics. By no means was any degree of competency subordinated to such a rapid advancement, as Dr. Waicus has maintained and exhibited the qualities of an able and experienced instructor. Dr. Waicus was graduated occupying the highest academic standing in his class. He maintains memberships in the Pennsylvania and New Jersey Dental Societies, Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the Frederic James Society, the James R. Cameron Society, and the Pedodontic Study Society He has also served on the staff of Shriner's Hospital. Dr Waicus attended Johns Hopkins University and received his B.S. from Springfield College, in Springfield, Massachusetts. He was graduated cum laude as a physical education major. He met his lovely wife, Carol, while they were both members of Cherry Hill High School faculty. He served in the United States Army from 1959 to 1961, during which time he attained a rank of Spec 4 and continued to teach school. While in undergraduate school. Dr. Waicus demonstrated the versatility in his character that was cultivated bv experience and later recognized by his professional colleagues. His varied experiences certainly reflect the image of a man who is able to do many things well. He worked as a breadman, a swimming instructor, a fisherman, and an amusement operator. During his school vacations and summers in Wildwood, New Jersey, he worked on his father's fishing boat by day, and managed to operate a ferris wheel by night. His ability to adapt to varied experiences, coupled with his interaction with varied types of people, developed in him an understanding, an awareness of people in relation to each other It is this understanding, this insight that guided his relationships with students and colleagues. His genuine honesty has made him an admired and respected faculty member The faculty regards Dr. Waicus as a man who is anxious to do more than his share. His congeniality and perceptions have certainly made him an asset to the profession. Dr. and Mrs. Waicus live in Camden, New Jersey with their year old daughter. Kelly Dr. Waicus has opened an office in Marlton, New lersey, as of October, 1968. Being a physical education major gone dentist. Dr Waicus enjoys such sports as handball and golf. Dr. Waicus has contributed unselfishly of his time, and knowledge during his services at Temple. Despite the fact that his class standing was number one, and his graduating was cum laude, he is alsvays tolerant with the average student. He possesses an understanding, a sense of warmth, that enables him to teach with a certain professionalism that is founded in the pursuit of science and in faith in mankind Through the efforts of fine men such as Dr |ohn Paul Waicus dentistry can only enlighten, develop, progress and continue healing. CHARLES L. HOWELL D.D.S., M.P.H., F.A.C.D. DEAN OF THE SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY TO THE CLASS OF 1969 l! is indeed with deep personal pride and satisfaction that I extend to you on behalf of the faculty our very best wishes. May you be privileged to have the opportunity to continue the legacy that is Temple's and our Profession's through many years of successful participation in dentistry. You must be ever mindful that society expects of you, the holder of a D.D.S. degree, the fulfillment of intellect, or of judgment, in caring for their dental health. This implies being a continuous student to better enable you to serve your patients. It also implies your exercise of judgment as to not only what is best for your patient but what is within your own individual capabilities. All of us should feel eternally grateful for the heritage that has been provided us in dentistry. It is my humble opinion you should feel equally grateful to Temple University. Your success is limited only by how well you use your knowledge and your skills. The opportunity is yours. I wish you well as you enter a great Profession from a great University. 4 TO THE CLASS OF 1969 You are graduating from dental school at a time when a number of important issues, such as licensing, prepaid dental insurance, expanding duties of auxiliary personnel, and continuing education, are facing the dental profession. Decisions which are being made almost daily by legislators and by members of the profession will influence the direction and destiny of dentistry in this country for many years to come. With the opportunities and privileges which are yours as a result of your advanced education, go many obligations and responsibilities, two of which involve your direct participation in the programs of organized dentistry. First, you must be a continuous student in order to keep your knowledge and skills at the highest level. Second, you must participate in the deliberations and decision making of the profession through the activities of the dental society. The highest quality of dental care for the public can be assured only by such interest and participation by the members of the profession. My congratulations to each of you, and my sincere best wishes for a healthy, happy, successful, and gratifying career. DALE F. ROECK D.D.S., F.A.C.D., F.I.C.D., F.A.G.D ASSOCIATE DEAN OF THE DENTAL SCHOOL 5 I warn to extend sincere congratulations to all who are fulfulling requirements for the D.D.S. degree at the Sthool of Dentistry in 1969. The growth and accomplishments of Temple University's professional schools in recent years match achievements being made anywhere on our expanding campus. In less than a decade, the various professional schools have doubled in size, and they are moving on to maintain that pace. At the same time, evolving curriculum and improving facilities, coupled with better faculty, staff and students, are enabling us to make programs more flexible. We are seeing more emphasis placed on independent study while patient-oriented total health care also continues to expand, all based on a keen sense of social awareness and professional responsibility. But society's challenge to higher education is ongoing, and serious and formidable problems have yet to be resolved. Modern science and technology have created an apparently insatiable need for highly disciplined and trained intelligence to cope with problems such as growing populations, urban density, poverty, discrimination, pollution, and mental and physical health. There is bright promise, however, in our response to these challenges. It is an inherent part of the American spirit to act with vigor, determination, and an inner will and strength to overcome problems that threaten to weaken or destroy that which we are still in the process of building. Certainly universities alone do not have all the answers to these problems or the whole means of implementing policies and programs designed to solve them. Yet it would be short-sighted to say that more and better knowledge and increased social consciousness being gained by greater numbers of men and women through higher education will not provide a significant tool in working toward lasting solutions. To you who are graduating and stand as the University's most important resource, we dedicate our energy and resources for the years ahead. It is good to know we are sending out into the profession men and women who combine basic skills and broad knowledge with mastery of the latest advances in the field. We shall svatch your careers with pride and interest as you move into the community to serve in an ever-increasing number of ways PAUL ANDERSON B.A., Ph.D., L.L.D., L.H.D., Litt.D., D.Sc. PRESIDENT;TEMPLE UNIVERSITY 6 SENIOR CLASS ADVISOR It is with genuine pride and pleasure that I extend congratulations to the class of 1969. One of the rewards of teaching is watching you enter as naive neophytes and ever so slowly, develop youi knowledge and skills to a level that will make you go forth into the professional world bursting with pride. Your class has now been trained and so rewarded, and once again the faculty can be proud. Please remember that dentistry is a very live and dynamic profession The mass of knowledge that we now have available will continue to mushroom in the next few years. It is imperative that you contribute your part to this growth of knowledge, and further, that you use it to improve treatment and thus the health of your patients. To be a part of this, you must continue your education on a systematic basis. If you train for a specialty, or if you elect general practice, continuing education must be a way of life for you. Mediocrity and less is your alternative, and you have too much to offer the world to let your fate so falter. Keep in mind that your profession is an honorable one, and keep your conduct and actions on the highest plane, so that you will contribute to even higher elevations for it. If you apply the Golden Rule to your patients, your professional colleagues and your friends, this should inevitably result. Again, congratulations on your accomplishment, and best wishes for a healthy, happy, long, and successful professional career and life. ERNEST B. MINGLEDORFF D.D.S., F.A.C.D.

She has resided in New Jersey since a young child and received her elementary and secondary education in the Camden schools system. She also attended Rutgers University for courses pertinent to dental assisting. A life member of the American Dental Assistants Association, she served as a Trustee and a two term Secretary. She is an Honorary Member of Philadelphia Dental Assistants Society and Southern Dental Assistants Association of New Jersey.

She received the Edward Grevatt Achievement Trophy for her efforts in advancing the aims and ideals of dental assisting. MRS. ALICE EDER, C.D.A. SUPERVISOR The Dental Assistant Utilization Program is sponsored by the United States Department of Health Education and Welfare. The program was instituted at Temple in September of 1962 with the enlistment of four dental assistants and one supervisor. Dr. Ernest F. Ritsert was and still is director of the program. Initially, the program was instituted under a five year grant and the program is presently in its second year of an additional seven year grant. Under this latter grant the total number of assistants has been increased to ten in addition to an assistant supervisor. Each dental assistant has a cabinet equipped for a variety of operative procedures. The program has proven to be an overwhelming success in achieving its objective of four-handed sit down dentistry. This relatively fresh innovation in the practice of dentistry has certainly contributed to the quality and efficiency of dental work today. 32 Miss Marsha 8litman Miss Gelsie DeSanto Mrs. Ethel Perkins Miss Joyce Bowman Miss Lorraine Kubiak Miss Kathleen Maloney Miss Linda Adams, C.D.A.

What he was physically will not be remembered. A hand is just a hand. What he gave of himself mentally can never be forgotten His mind was all inspiring, all encompassing. That we knew him was a gift of life That we could not know him better was a tragedy. But, the greatest tragedy is for those who never knew him, those that now never will. He is not now in death larger than he was in life. Our admiration and gratitude were always there; Our emotions and memories did not swell up like our tears. He spoke of death objectively, and tried to teach us to do likewise. But, his warmth and compassion now make this an ordeal. May God bless your soul,Dr. Donnelly And may you rest in peace.

Weinstein K. Wortzel H. W'ilson JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY As dentistry has evolved in the past decades to the effective science that it is today, so has our present “Junior Class. Composed of many personalities it ventured into Dentistry in the Fall of 1966 to be known as the “Class of 1970. To most, the Science of Dentistry was quite obtuse and obscure, but slowly the doors of dentistry were opened to us. Behind one door which read Pre clinic Laboratory we found boxes waiting for us, all different sizes, shapes and colors. With much patience and diligent studying we began to know and understand each one at the snap of a finger. Finally, our clinic cabinets, our vehicle and key to the doors of dentistry were ready to take us on our journey through school. Fumbling through the halls we came upon a door which read “Oral Anatomy. The door was opened then locked and we found ourselves drawing, carving, filing and breaking instruments. With fortitude and unending desire, a plaster block emerged, to be encased in the annals of our Dental History. From here we were led to still another door — Dental Materials. Plaster and Stone became second nature to us and such terms as equalizing wax and green-stick compound entered our vocabulary. Progressing further during our First Year, the doors began to open and close at a faster pace. We learned much behind each. One had teeth behind it, the secret was to tell them apart; another has a sick child and we studied it, still another had some black stuff under a microscope and we jumped on it with our desire for knowledge. Before long we left one building and were shown the Light — a medical school. This was the next door and behind it we found cadavers. With this our long awaited destiny — “Sophomore Year. Having heard of the treacherous road ahead we proceeded with caution only to find ourselves behind another door, Physiology . This was a very interesting room, for periodically a door would open and dental school would weigh in the balance — a figure would emerge and grades were posted. Feverishly one ran to get his Just reward for endless sleepless nights. Before long we were given keys to still other doors where we learned that bacteria were alive and living in Argentina and as you well know can lead to pathoses of sundry types. We also found the secrets of constructing bridges and restoring cavities — oral and otherwise. Finally our long awaited day arrived — Sophomore Year ended and we all emerged victorious despite the troubled path. With two years behind us National Boards and Clinic were yet to be unlocked. These soon were upon us and we finally realized and understood the why? of our first two years — a ranking of -5 in our national board scores and an excellent preparation for our future clinical years. 170 No matter where, all the calculus must be removed!

The Oyster Bowl. Gobs of fans coalesce each year to view their favorite gridiron grates of the EFL (Edentulous Football League). As a culmination of two years of intensive practice, these all star jaw breakers are here honored for their good, healthy, bone crunching, mind blowing, rock 'em, sock 'em tactics for the 1968-69 season. Offensive Team Tamponade Tansy — although not noted for his physical powers. Tamponade played a leading role in filling a semi-vacuum on the team. His constant heckling was so confusing to the officials that the opposition was rarely given the points they deserved. Hayseed von Kendall — a real Handy Dandy, best noted for his confusing patterns which thoroughly befuddled not only the opposition, but his own team as well. Cantherides Zabara — who never let the subject at hand get in the way of the game. Mickey Willett — for running the hundred in 6.2 believing that both teams were chasing him. Voted MVP for his constant dogging of the opposition with snarled lip and bulging eye. Bre'r Farber — for the minor misunderstandings which evolved from his now famous ankyloglossia-Sarcina leutea pass-option play. Lenny the root Parris — for reaming the rank and file of the opposition, and making the crowd love it. Unguentine Firth — for slipping through the lines unnoticed. 188 Plates Waltz — for his revolutionary use of distracting tactics, including: rattles, pacifiers, sporadic roll-calls and pre-game sing-alongs. Spatini Santangelo — the well known kicking specialist whose unusual physical prowess, and hob-nailed boots, enabled him to kick 47 consecutive heads through the uprights. Main Line Mann — who played only intermittently due to his pharmaceutical wizardry and pill-pushing prowess in developing a cure for rabbitt hernia. Honest John Bomba — The Quarterback Sneak. Honest John was a recent recipient of the Billie Sol Estes Budgeting and Business Transaction Award. He will always be remembered as the innovator of the Magical Mystery Game, the object of which is to fool half of the people some of the time, and some of the people half of the time and all of the people Well, Shut Ma Mouf Mingledorff — for pontific guidance (cuspid) in the initiation of the never to be forgotten smiling shaft play. Bullwinkle Binns — who was ejected from 61 2 games for squirting the referee and opposing team with his Space Cadet water gun which he got by mailing in 8 Bazooka wrappers and 3 Whoopee Flakes box tops. Pops Aleo and Reggie Miller — twin safeties, whose refusal to jerk the lineman's chains gave the opposition an extra five yards. Quotes Ellison and Junior Pullon — for extensive back-up play of Pops Reggie enabling the pass of the pathologic pigskin. 189 SOPHOMORE CANDIDS And we are happv to announce that this year's coffebean crop was excellent.

Rosenheck FRESHMEN TWO OR THREE THINGS ABOUT FRESHMEN From the beginning it was evident that the class of 72 was a different breed. Dean Howell informed us on the day of entry that we were in the waves of change. Daily we were reminded by the professors of this truth if not by the ambiguity that accompanied each exercise. But we were willing to play the game according to new rules for one distinct advantage: telling a Sophomore that we had done last week the very same thing he was learning to do just this week. They found it staggering. However, everything wasn't completely different. We suffered the trauma of most freshmen classes — only it was worse this time — it was happening to us. Nothing is more frightening yet nothing more intriguing than a mobile cabinet all your very own — except perhaps an unknown blob under the scope in a histo practical or a multiple choice test with all choices correct. It was all a “new experience. “Gentlemen; The voice rings out from the front of the lab — 134 young men respond eyes up. Then one coed who had slowly learned to answer to this command also listens. “Those projects we told you we'd collect next week are due today. Sorry fellas. Bullets shoot him down. Somehow we manage. Tomorrow would be a new day. But tomorrow is really yesterday: “There will be a lecture at 11 o'clock in room C.“ And now a word from our Dean: Even if S. Claus were enrolled here, he'd have to shave off his beard. There will be no exceptions to this rule — absolutely no exceptions; Except side burns within reason but there is no reason for this. Does anyone understand that? Who said Dean Howell had stock in Gillette? Through all this, the Freshmen maintained their sense of humor which they shared with the Biochem department. On lab days the students thought lab was a joke but on exam days Dr. Pollack showed us what was really funny-questions on the lab material. Downstairs Dr. Snodgrasse compiled anatomical tortures yet unknown. 198 CLASS HISTORY Out of admiration or maybe fear we elected Dr. McCrea to advise us. If they do anything right, he was heard saying, I'll take no credit — on the other hand what they do wrong is not my fault either. Asked to repeat that, he could not. It was election year and politics had worn off on Dr. McCrea. Meantime, back in the lab Dr. Caso and Dr. Swanson were conspiring against us. You tell them it's a Sharpey's fiber and I'll tell them it's a histiocyte. Now let's sock it to em. They were the best of days; they were the worst of days. We weren't always the best but the sleep we got was the worst. Starting every morning at 8 was inhumane but 4 Mondays and 1 Friday a week wasn't a bad average for a Freshman. Weekends were music to our ears. If three hours of carving and drilling followed by 3 hours over a scope weren't interrupted by trying to capture a seat in the cafeteria at noon, our days would be tranquil. Tranquility? We were on the wrong road for that. Somewhere we had made a bad turn. Upperclassmen stood as signposts along the way and it wasn't long before we conceded to having followed their directions. Invariably Dr. Santan-gelo would explain: That accounts for one of the wrong turns you made. Take two giant steps toward the television monitor and watch this time! To be sure, the average freshman was a combination of the Naked Ape gone mod and Everyman cracking up. It was an ingenious portrait. There was no forgetting that these were violent and ugly times inside and out the walls of academe. Solid evidence of our Now Generation traits were manifest in our attitudes; toward the War — we were peaceniks; toward the dollar — we were tightniks; toward the establishment — we were clashniks. How long would it be before we became masters? Master mechanics — exploring the ticks and hums of a handpiece; Master artists — working toward the unknown entity of occlusion; Master linguists — distinguishing fossa from fissure ; Master scholars — exploring, working and distinguishing. But alas! We are yet Freshmen — peasants in a world of kings and this brief history of us is mostly gossip. In time we will discern which of this gossip is history; then we will have done OUR OWN THING. 199 FRESHMAN CANDIDS Looks like you owe me 5 incisors, 3 canines and a keystone.' I've gotta get out of this place!” Only the Saint could give an assignment like mis! 200 Dow Jones Averages: osteoclasts down 1 2 One more nail to go!” 201 I think your carving is a little too groovy .

It means that throughout his entire dental career he has ranked in the top twelve percent of his class in scholarship and character. We sincerely congratulate the thirteen seniors of the Class of 1969 who have received this honor. Omicron Kappa Upsilon was organized in 1914 at Northwestern University. Its goal was to develop a spirit of scholarship and professional conduct and to recognize those who have distinguished themselves in these two endeavors while undergraduate dental students. The name and design on the key are founded on the initial letter of four Creek words: Satiria, Adantos, Kei, and Hygenia, which mean conservation of teeth and health. This, of course, is the goal of dentistry. 204 ). Keith Bateman Julian D. Freeman Charles D. Fulp Jr. Paul R. Mancia Leonard C. Medura Richard F. Newman Warren G. Newman Dennis M. Petricoin Ronald L. Todd William A. Viechnicki JAMES R. CAMERON SOCIETY OF ORAL SURGERY The James R Cameron Society of Oral Surgery was founded at Temple University School of Dentistry in 1934 and is now in its sixteenth year of existence. The society holds as its objectives: the promotion and cultivation of the art and science of Oral Surgery in dentistry; the encouragement of research in Oral Surgery and its allied branch of science in relation to public health; and the fostering of higher scholastic efforts and better fraternal and non-fraternal relationships among the members toward scientific, ethical and professional progress. Membership in the Cameron Society is based on academic achievement, fraternity affiliation, attitude, character, and a sincere interest in the surgical aspects of clinical dentistry. Early in the fall of each year, a representative number of Junior students are selected and offered membership by the Honorary President of the Society and the Senior members. The Society accomplishes its aims through the presentation of practical considerations by guest speakers, thereby promoting an earnest study of current problems of Oral Surgery. Senior members of the society are given the opportunity for an active role of participation by the presentation of papers. We are most indebted to Doctor James R. Cameron for his past leadership in the Societies activities and for his continued inspiration and guidance in attaining the goals which he so successfully achieved as a professional man, teacher and friend.

It was first formed in 1930, thirty-nine years ago by Dr. Frederick James, now retired professor of Oral Histo-Pathology. Through the efforts of Drs. Marion McCrea and Martin Entine the society invites nationally known authorities in the dental profession to lecture and discuss all modern and advanced techniques relating to the field of Oral Histo-Pathology. The aim of the James Society is to correlate actual clinical findings with subject matters studied in the first and second years of dental school. By correlation of oral histology and oral pathology with the various phases of dental practice it is hoped that greater interest will be stimulated in these sciences. Membership in the James Society is limited to twenty-five Juniors and twenty-five Seniors. Members are selected on their class standing throughout the Freshman and Sophomore years in addition to the grades received in histology, pathology, oral histology and oral pathology. Dr. James was born in London, England in 1895. He served in World War I, serving his country with honor. Although twice wounded he still was able to serve four years. After World War I, Dr. James entered the United States, where he received his D.D.S. degree from the University of Pennsylvania of Pennsylvania. Following a short career of teaching at the University of Pennsylvania Dental School he accepted a position at Temple Dental School where he taught until illness forced him to retire in 1959. J.

Ritsert, Professor of Oral Pediatrics. Although it is the smallest society at Temple it is the only society whose members work both clinically and academically at improving their skills in pedodontics. This is a working society with a definite goal, that is, to provide better dental care to the child patient both through our clinical education in school and throughout our professional life. In order to be eligible for membership a student must be a student member of the American Society of Dentistry for Children. Members are selected on the basis of academic achievement and clinical ability with qualities of interest, enthusiasm, and personal character being taken into consideration. The teaching staff of the pedodontic department selects the members, six at the end of the first semester of the junior year and six more by April 15 of the Junior year. The purpose of the Society is to provide an opportunity for each of its members to attend seminars and lectures by outstanding pedodontists and to promote the oral health and the general welfare of the child patient. Members are given the opportunity to observe difficult dental procedures on children under general anesthesia in the operating room at St. Christopher Hospital for Children. |. Eaton C.Fulp A. Levin J. Macauley J. SendroH R. Strauss 208 GOLD FOIL STUDY GROUP The Gold Foil Study Group is an organization formed for the purpose of improving the skills of its participants, both clinically and academically, especially in the field of operative dentistry. Under the very able guidance of Dr. Hardy, this society meets once a month during the calendar year, attempting to instill the principles of better operative dentistry in its members. The principles of exacting cavity preparation and condensation of gold foil are stressed, but certainly not limited to this one area; discussions concerning amalgams, silicates, resins and inlays all have envolved from this group. The Gold Foil Study Group is founded on the premise that good dentistry follows from knowing the basic fundamentals of operative dentistry. STUDENT MEMBERS J. Bateman J. Carlos J. Eaton C fulp P.

KOLMER HONORARY MEDICAL SOCIETY The John A Kolmer Honorary Medical Society was founded at Temple University School of Dentistry in November 1936 by Dr. John A. Kolmer, the late Professor of Medicine at Temple University Dental and Medical Schools. With the retirement of Dr. Rosenthal in May 1966, Dr. Harry Frank, Professor of Oral Diagnosis, accepted the position of Faculty Advisor. Under his able direction and guidance an excellent lecture series given by authorities in various medical fields were made possible. The purposes of the society are to further the intelligent cooperation and understanding between the medical and dental professions. The emphasis of our interests is placed upon the interrelationships of the systemic diseases and oral manifestations of these diseases, since the dentist is often in a strategic position to observe early manifestations of a disease state and advise prompt medical attention before serious sequale take place. Membership in this society is based on scholastic achievement, character, deportment, and a show of genuine interest by a student in Internal Medicine. ). Bateman H. Green B. Baum S.

The Society was founded by Dental Students to fill their desire for knowledge and skills in Periodontology beyond the scope of that achieved on the undergraduate level. Membership in the society is based on academic achievement, attitude, character and a sincere interest in the clinical and histological aspects of Periodontology. A representative number of junior students are selected and offered membership each year by the President and Advisor of the Society. Under the able leadership of the Society Officers Warren Neuman, Robert Blair and Advisors Dr. Robert Shoor and Dr. David Vandersal guest speakers were obtained. Included among the guest speakers were Dr. Arnold Weisgold on Periodontol Prostheses, Dr. Stanley Ross on Bone Fill and Dr. Benedict Kimmelman on Oral Physio-therapy. Through their presentations and group participation the Society achieves its goal to increase the knowledge and skills in Periodontology for its members. |. Bateman R. Blair B. Dubin |. Freeman C.

Socially, the girls meet new friends, renew old acquaintances, and get to share with each other similar joys, problems and interests. Educationally they get to know better the field of dentistry, the workings of the Dental School and the interesting professors who our husbands come into contact with daily. Each purpose is achieved by the society meeting socially, once a month, and, educationally, four times a year. Membership in the Society is open to all wives of the Dental students. We urge everyone to attend. The society wishes to thank the officers for their work in making Dental Wives Society a success: Mrs. Rosemary Davidson — President, Mrs. Barbara Suden — Vice President, Mrs. Lee Fredrickson — Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Barbara Suden — Recording Secretary, Mrs. Sheila Horvitz — Treasurer, and Mrs. Connie Rose — Social Chairman. A special thanks goes to Mrs. Laurine A. Tiedeken, our advisor, for all of her help. Finally, we would like to wish our graduating girls all the success and happiness in the future as a wife of a Dentist. 217 SOCIETY OFFICERS LAURINE TIEDEKEN AIR FORCE RESERVE A. Gibbs H.

Members are selected as they enter the sophomore year and are commissioned as Ensigns in the Dental Corps of the U.S. Naval Reserve. At the end of their junior year they are promoted to Lieutenant Junior Grade, and upon graduation and call to active duty they are promoted to lieutenant or acquire what is known as their two full stripes. The primary purpose of the dental company is to give the student members an understanding of naval procedures and customs. Therefore, upon graduation they are better prepared to fulfill their naval and professional duties. We wish our active duty members much good luck and smooth sailing! Commanding Officer, Capl. P. T.

Sailor 219 a n Alpha Omega, an international fraternal organization for dentists, was founded at the Philadelphia College of Dentistry in 1907. With Fraternalism, Professionalism and Judaism as its basis Alpha Omega strives to develop scholarship, leadership and character among men still in school. The Theta Ramach Chapter at Temple endeavors to serve its members and the school. As in the past. Alpha Omegans number among the academic leaders of the class of 1969. In addition we find our fraters at the helm of most honor societies and many extra-curricular organizations. This year, as every year, the strong tie with traditions is kept. Our varied social program will end with a memorable closing affair, while on the academic side our clinics, underclassmen big brother program and Senior big brother program have all been of benefit to those participating. The Alpha Omega National convention was well represented by members of our Chapter who could not help but to feel drawn together with all the fraters from all parts of the country under the bond of fraternalism. As the class of 1969 takes a giant step into the profession from school we know they will take many memories with them. We wish them all the success possible as we strive to follow in their footsteps in the tradition of Alpha Omega. 220 221 ALA Why fraternity? It would appear, on the surface at least, that this question is as simple to answer as saying house, equipment, friendships and social events. But the question if 'why fraternity' goes much deeper than these reasons. It would be said indeed and quite meaningless if for his four years in school all a brother had to show w-as a house, probably the worse for wear, and the memory of a few good parties. Rather, the story of the fraternity, which started as far back as 1776 is brotherhood, which can be developed within the structure of the fraternity and has lusted down through the years certainly no one remembers the parties this long! It is this spirit of fraternity, of putting the other guy first (which is something against our basic nature) which has allowed the fraternity to survive as an import and institution within an institution. However, notice must be given to the word can in the above statement. No one is naive enough to believe that this is something that hits a person in the face as soon as he pledges fraternity, nor is it something, that once attained, can be confined within the four walls of the fraternity house: It has to be worked at, and therefore since work is involved, some houses never attain it. As members of a fraternity with a distinction of being the first in the field of dentistry, we at Delt like to think that we at the very least, are working in that direction. We endeavor to hold to the objectives of the fraternity which are to keep the standards of denistry high by inculcating in the minds of dental students and practitioners a spirit of fraternal cooperation. We have tried to give to each brother something that will linger long after the house and its parties have long since been forgotten. With this in mind, we try also then to maintain these high standards by selective pledging of those men the brotherhood feels will best fulfill these aims. At Delt this year we were most fortunate in pledging a group of freshmen, who to a man, we feel will be able to carry on these traditions. Under the very able leadership of Grand Master — Ronald Fortner, Delt was further able to develop its Iraternal spirit with many and varied activities, both academically and socially, such as scientific clinics, picnics, and parties. We furthermore are currently in the midst of finalizing arrangement to move to a new fully renovated house. We sincerely hope that the added advantages the new house give of being closer to school and more livable will permit the brothers, even more than before, to be able to get together and to utilize its facilities. We are grateful to all of the officers for the work they have done this year, and thank all of the brothers for their enthusiasm in both the rush and for the activities. 222 It's been a Delt year! •yn The Fraters of the Eta Chapter of Psi Omega Fraternity opened their 1968-69 year with a blaze of glory. The Psi Omega Smoker” was the highlight of the rush season and when the smoke had cleared we found ourselves with 25 new brothers. The smoker was enjoyed not only by students and faculty, but the special guest appeared to relish the crowd also. The open rush mixer also proved to be an enjoyable evening for all those interested in dancing or other extra-curriculor activities. Some chose to admire the very adept Go Go” girl while others spent their evening in the wine cellar admiring the excellent distillery. Football season was soon upon us and a large trophy was to sit on the mantle of the winning team. The battle lasted into the end of November with the Psi O's fighting it out to a victorious ending. The Trophy, of course, looks very proud as it sits on the mantle of the Psi Omega. Next to it stands the trophy earned during the 1968 inter-university basketball championship in which Psi Omega went undefeated. The weeks flew by and once again it was time for the Psi O's wives annual Clambake . Many hundreds of clams were enjoyed by the fraters and their ladies, along with hot dogs, beer, potato chips, beer, pretzels, beer, etc. etc. etc. Fine music was provided and the dancing and merriment continued throughout the evening. Soon the Christmas season had arrived and it was time for the Psi O's annual Christmas party. The evening began at 7:30 p.m. with a trip via subway to the Plaza Skating Rink. After some spills and a few chills the group found itself trekking back to the house to finish out the evenings activities. Santa Claus, Alias Big John Cherkerzian , arrived about 11 o'clock with his nose all-aglow, and it wasn't because of the cold weather either. He handed out gifts to everyone presentand wound up with a bottle for himself. So much for a Merry Christmas. The second semester began and the Psi Omegans had lots more to look forward to. The initiation banquet in March, the spring formal in late April, and various open and closed mixers. In all it was a very successful year once again for Psi Omega and its Fraters. The Eta Chapter Fraters would like to congradulate, and show their pride in the election of Dr. Harold E. Lantz, National President of Psi Omega Fraternity. Also, a word of sincere thanks is extended to Dr. Charles Santangelo our Deputy Councilor and Dr. Vincent Lawlor our Assistant Deputy Councilor who have helped to guide Psi Omega the past year. Last but not least a thank you to our Grand Master Frank Solga, and to all the Fraters in the Class of 1969. 2 24 225 rr Sigma Epsilon Delta was established at the New York College of Dentistry in 1901. Since its inception, S.E.D. has actively contributed to the maintainance of high standards of the dental profession. Sigma Epsilon Delta has fostered and developed fraternal cooperation among the brotherhood and graduate chapter. Such cooperation has promoted and perpetuated worthwhile services to school and brotherhood. The brothers of S.E.D. have always extended a united effort in helping undergraduates in their studies. The major objective of the fraternity, during all related activities, has been to promote a high degree of excellence in the science and art of Dentistry. The chapter at Temple, Delta, has functioned as an integral body and leader in honor organizations, extra-curricular activities, and major school governmental councils. The activities sponsored by the fraternity have been organized for the benefit of a brother in need of help. Additional clinics have been available, a thorough protocol system has been instituted, and the laboratory has extended its facilities considerably. A Big Brother program exists to aid new students pass through transitional phases; such as a freshman coming directly from a college atmosphere into a professional one. S.E.D. has been fortunate in having many members who have given unselfishly of their time and talents in helping a brother with his professional growth. The brotherhood actively participates in the many social activities. The highlight of the season is the elegant closing affair, honoring graduates and outstanding brothers. This year's affair is being held at the Cherry Hill Inn. Swim parties, hayrides, mystery nights, mixers, ice-skating parties, are among some of the events planned annually. S.E.D. has further demonstrated its fraternal unity by teamwork in its sports events. The class of 1969 looks back upon the past years at Temple and reflect upon many warm memories. These reflections are images of growing in experience, responsibility, knowledge, of developing friendships. The education these men have received is the sum total of all their experiences at Temple. S.E.D. has been a unique and most valuable experience. The brotherhood has represented and supported in everyday life, the professional ideals set by its heritage. The graduating class sincerely hopes that the undergraduate brothers will perpetuate the spirit of professionalism in their personal endeavors, services to school, and services to their brothers. 226 2 27 Five freshman dental students at the University of Michigan founded the Xi Psi Phi Dental Fraternity on February 8, 1889. The second oldest dental fraternity established its Gamma Chapter at the Philadelphia Dental College five years later, in 1894. The ZIP Fraternity is a brotherhood of men chosen from those who have decided upon a career in the profession of Dentistry. It is a Fraternity which is concerned with the scholastic and social development of the individual, and sets as a goal the simple understanding which honors these principles — knowledge, morality, friendship. The Xi Psi Phi Fraternity is a secret organization only in so far as pertains to its private, personal and confidential affairs. It was organized for the purpose of providing a better, more substantial foundation upon which to build a successful professional life; of creating a desire for a cleaner, healthier and more wholesome atmosphere in which to live; of developing an appreciation of the qualities of friendship and hospitality; and of stimulating a desire to include these qualities in the character of its members. Gamma Chapter has experienced a fine and successful year, both socially and scholastically. Following a local native barbecue in early August, which caused considerable damage, the ZIP house, with the never-ending assistance of Dr. Gus Chialastri, completed it's remodeling of the first floor living room and lab. Our rushing program, numerous mixers, New Year's Dance, Initiation Banquet, Spring Formal and weekly T.G.I.F. gatherings and Histology Clinics provided our Freshman members with additional assistance, while stag parties took care of the hard times in-between. Gamma Chapter of Xi PsiPhi Dental Fraternity wishes to extend its congratulations and regards to the graduating seniors and may they have good luck in all their endeavors. We know they will all be a credit to the Dental Profession. 228 229 GRADUATE ENDODONTICS DR. SAMUEL SELTZER B.S., D.D.S., F.A.C.D., F.A.A.A.S.

Yantis 251 SECOND YEAR DENTAL As Second Year Dental Hygienists, we feel the obligation to set aside a special 8:00 a.m. lecture series for all interested faculty attendance will be mandatory. First let us apologize for our tardiness, while you've been so patient awaiting our infamous lecture series. We had to get up for a fire at 3:30 a.m., and the firemen insisted that we stand around and chat until the all clear was given. Our first lecture is entitled How to Blow your mind — yet keep a healthy dentition . Never give Tooth Identification Practicals. Does the mandibular 2nd molar have two roots — or is it a victim of gemination? Never give tooth carving Practicals. When we try to visualize the occlusal of the mandibulur First molar, we tend to carve hugh cusps with assorted fossas. Our second Lecture is entitled — How to manage a Dormitory. Make it mandatory for the med-students to share notes with the Dental students while visiting the 5th floor Lounge. All tuberculin test tubes must be removed from the refrigerator by twelve o'clock noon or a slight charge will be made for infected salamies. All payments must be prompt — otherwise grades will be withheld. We also suggest that the faculty experience the fine delicacies of community living. In addition to Pet menageries, they can look forward to two year party lines, disconnected phone calls, phone calls that never reach the right extension, and misconstrued information, correctly interpreted at $1.00 a minute by the Housemothers. The third lecture is entitled Classroom and Clinic Management. Never, never assign a Physiology whit who climbs ladders higher than City Hall to freshmen DH s. Never lecture on the use of curettes and the methods of instrument sharpening four times with four different versions, and then ask us, Do you know what your doing? We do insist that attendance be more regular in clinic. It gets rather confusing and funny when your instructor has changed size and hair color from the start of the Oral Prophylaxis to the completion of it. 2 52 HYGIENE CLASS HISTORY Your endodontic course is complete and very comprehensive. Do not hesitate to ask for our copies of Ingle and Dental clinics of North America Read each chapter carefully and be prepared for the most difficult five minute examination ever given on the role of profound anesthesia, getta percha and the neurotic patient who anxiously awaits to be pulp tested at 8:00 in the morning. Our last lecture is entitled The New Breed Of Dental Students. 1. All Dental Students will kindly clean up after themselves while we assist in special assignments. Our D.H. uniforms fit better than our maid uniforms. 2. All dental students will refrain from pushing us and cutting into line while we wait for chow. 3. All Dental Students will stand and offer their chairs to us during lunch instead of pulling them out from under us. 4. All Dental Students will accept with pleasure instead of regret when we ask them to escort us aboard The Showboat for our formal. 5. All Dental Students will Show respect for us as young women and active members of the Dental Health Team. 253 SECOND YEAR HYGIENE CANDIDS My social life is killing me! A visitor and a phone call ?

Wolford M. Weiss W. Wolf D. Ward C. Ziegler 259 FIRST YEAR HYGIENE CLASS HISTORY As we entered this hall of higher learning, we were told that it is a professional school. The rules and regulations by which we were to live reinforced this fact. We were in no ordinary college. And as a professional school, we rather expected that the college would be well organized. We soon found this was not the case. The first few weeks of school we will never forget. Faced with such unorganization as we have never encountered before or since and being bolstered by our big sisters and their That's nothing. Wait until The perfect way to expel all our fears. Finally, we were able to get down to the business of learning and things ran smoothly. The tests and drawings, filings and carvings came and went with only the minor hang-ups characteristic of Temple U. We will carry many memories out of this valuable year of professional training. How could we ever forget the wax shavings that seemed to find their way to our bed at night? How could we forget the dust of Jones Hall? Most importantly, I know we will never forget the people we have met, the new friendships we have made, the flu epidemic, and the kindness and understanding of our superiors. In a very short time we have crammed immense sums of knowledge into our brains. We encountered the frustrating job of scrounging for patients and the problems encountered when we finally found one. But, believe it or not, we feel much better for it. We actually feel that we are on our way to becoming professional women. And for this grand status we would like to express our sincerest gratitude to our supervisor, Miss Heck. 260 Things have been a little cramped lately Well, Dr Schacterle said it would work I dropped an apex somewhere around here. Sweet dreams? Coming down's a little easier since I greased the bannisters. 261 If we put our heads together, we're bound to come up with something. 262 What do ya' mean the deadlines moved up? Do you really believe that ? 263 The weekend synopsis. Hey, is that my brain poppin out ?! SIGMA PHI ALPHA HONOR SOCIETY Sigma Phi Alpha National Dental Hygiene Honor Society was organized in March 1958 at the annual meeting of the American Association of Dental Schools. The Constitution and Bylaws were patterned after the National Dental Honor Society, Omicron Kappa Upsilon. The annual meeting of Supreme Chapter, Sigma Phi Alpha, is held during the time of the meeting of the American Association of Dental Schools. Temple University School of Dental Hygiene selected Kappa Chapter as the name for our Chapter, so that it would be similar to the Temple University School of Dentistry Chapter, Kappa Kappa Chapter. The official insignia of this Society is derived from three Greek words — Sophia, meaning wisdom; Philanthropia, humane feeling and action; and Arete, virtue. These three words are identified with scholarship, service and character. Membership in Kappa Chapter is limited to 10% of the graduating class and are selected from a list composed of the upper 20% of the class. Election is held any time after the beginning of the second semester of the second year. An annual meeting of Kappa Chapter is held in the Spring. 264 266 Carole E. Ostrusky till F.

Sec.; Phyllis Carbone, Pres.; Cristine Shields, Soph. Class Rep.; Danielle Rothwell, Historian. The membership we have in the Junior American Dental Hygienist's Association enables us to have an insight into the professional organization to which we as Registered Dental Hygienists will belong. This association, which promotes and sustains the art and science of Dental Hygiene and represents the common interest of the members of the dental hygiene profession is of great value to this professional group. Temple's chapter of the Jr. ADHA was organized during the 1965-66 school year. Since its first meeting it has been a very active organization as is evident by its monthly meetings, unique speakers, and various activities. We began the 1968-69 school year with a social to welcome our new members and also to familiarize them with our Association. During the year emphasis was directed toward keeping our program dynamic and broad in scope. The programs included speakers from the specialized fields of dentistry and from the various aspects of Dental Hygiene as a profession. In contrast to these dentally oriented programs we enjoyed a talk entitled Your Philidelphia in which the speaker enlightened us as to what the city had to offer historically, academically, and recreation wise. Another speaker, a reformed junkee told us of his personal experiences in his fight against drug addiction. Our main service project for the year was the buying and presenting of Christmas gifts for children in St. Christopher's Children's Hospital. The sale of sweat shirts and T-shirts with the Temple University Dental Hygiene insignia was our major fund-raising project for the year. Keeping the emphasis on a variety of activity our group sponsored an outing to New York City where we could join socially as well as professionally. The year proved to be a most successful one, and our organization will continue to broaden its scope and to serve the profession. 266 JUNIOR AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION Ronald larber, Treasurer; Charles Fulp, President; Arthur Stein, Vice President. The Junior American Dental Association at Temple University School of Dentistry has a long and proud history. It has been in existence at Temple since 1942 and has been one of the most active and effective of all Junior American Dental Association groups across the country. During the school year, several scientific programs are scheduled for the benefit of its members. One of the unique aspects of the Junior American Dental Association in Philadelphia is its cooperation with its counterpart at the University of Pennsylvania. On alternate years, Jr. American Dental Association Day is held at Temple and Penn. The program features a prominent member of the profession and table clinics presented by students of both schools. Judges are appointed from the two faculties and the prize winning table clinics then represent the schools at the annual American Dental Association Meeting. In the past two years. Temple's representatives have won second and first prize in the Basic Science category. The student members of the Jr. American Dental Association receive the Journal of the American Dental Association and are also eligible to participate in the insurance programs available to its members. The objective of the Organization is to further the dissemination of dental knowledge among the members and to inculcate an appreciation of the benefits of a dental organization. 267 IN APPRECIATION The graduating class of 1969 wishes to commend and sincerely thank Mrs. Lee Kitchenman for her services throughout the years. Her conscientious and efficient work has been an integral mechanism in the operation of the clinic. Our class extends a thank you for the indispensable services rendered each student's progress. As she leaves the Dental School our appreciation goes with her. A word of thanks to Dr. John Kolmer, Director of the Student Health Services, goes out from the class of 1969. We appreciate the professional assistance you have extended to us during our years here at Temple. Behind the scenes of any learning institution are people who organize the activities relating to school life. Mrs. Laurine Tiedeken has worked with these activities, promoting and maintaining a high degree of professional significance. Her services have constituted one of those strong links necessary to construct a strong chain. The graduates extend a hearty “thank you. Our school nurse, Mrs. Dolores Hobson always greeted and comforted the aches and pains brought to her, and has done so cheerfully. Her services have always been with a smile and the graduates want to say “thank you. 268 THE WORLDS FINEST FORCEPS ARE MADE BY S.S. WHITE S S.

American Fund for Dental Education 211 E. Chicago Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60611 From its beginning, the purpose of Temple University has been to furnish an education to deserving young men and women. The visionary and dedicated work of the founder. Russell H. Conwell, alone led to the founding and early growth of Temple University. When a small group requested his help in securing an education, Russell H. Conwell embarked on the purposeful course of work and self-sacrifice that led to the great university of today. His words and deeds through the years serve still as guideposts of Temple University. Many fields of study lead to the businesses and professions of our country. Temple University has contributed to these with distinction, and with the realization that a university is great only as its graduates are great. The obligations of a university to its students, the community and the nation are many, and Temple University strives always to fulfill these obligations. The well-trained, conscientious student of Temple University may go forth confident of his ability to meet the challenges of his chosen career. Temple University congratulates the men and women of this graduating class. lean Whidden The Class of 1969 wishes to express their gratitude and best wishes to these ladies whose untiring efforts contributed so much to our clinical years. To each of you we wish many years of health and happiness. 286 A special wish of gratitude and sincere appreciation goes to a man who has served as class advisor to the class of 1969 for the past two years. We would like to compliment him on his excellent taste in choosing this particular class! Dr. Mingledorff has functioned in the advisory capacity, always exercising the utmost degree of professionalism. At the same time, he has projected in his relationships with faculty and students. He has always been capable and willing to listen and advise wisely in matters concerning the class of 1969. Dr. Mingledorff performed his role as advisor always keeping in mind the importance of the student as an individual. His advice was always accompanied by a word of encouragement and willingness to give of his time. His example made many of us aware of the importance of a genuine human relationship in dealing with each other throughout our professional careers. We, the members of the class of 1969, who have been fortunate enough to profit from the merits of a man such as Ernest B. Mingledorff, are appreciative. We are indebted to him for some of those many intangible lessons a student learns in the preparation for life. 287 The class of 1969 extends a most sincere thanks to Dr. John Bomba and Mr. Edward Sullivan. As we, the graduates, enter on the threshhold of our professional careers, we reflect on the years at Temple that have slipped by so quickly. Many experiences race through our minds, many faces and gestures leave an impression. But for some reason, certain impressions seem to linger. Mr. Sullivan and Dr. Bomba leave just such reminders. Through the unselfish efforts of these two men, student life at Temple has been greatly enhanced and has gained a new perspective. Both men have acted as advisors to the Odonio-log. They have expertly guided the editorial staff in the production of a memoir, a composite that has hopefully captured the essence of our years in Dental School. Without the friendly helping hand extended by Dr. Bomba and Mr. Sullivan, the Odontolog would not have been such an enriching and rewarding experience for all those who contributed, and such a valuable reflection for all those who comprised its many pages. From the class of 1969, we extend our thanks. f 288 AUG 1 ? 1969 JOB DEFERENCE WIT TO BF T?KFN FM THIS ROOM ODONTOLOG
