Secretary By the word of the Lord were the heavens made. Their starry host by the breath of his mouth. Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all the people Of the world stand in aw e of Him. From heaven the Lord looks down and sees all mankind. From his dwelling place he watches all who live on earth- He who forms the hearts of all . who considers everything they do. No king is saved by the size of his army; no Warrior escapes by his great strength. But the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear him. On those whose hope is in his unfailing love. To deliver them from death and keep them alive in famine. In Him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in His holy name. -Psalm 33 Seniors . 19 Nathan Carlson D.M.D. Grove City College BS, Molecular Biology Hanover, PA VP Pedo Study Club Endo Study Club Siomaiognuthic Society AAWD ZIP ASDA Cast post and core, rubber dam. and occlusal rims...all terms that meant nothing to me about four years ago. Now, ??? credits later. I can't go a day without hearing or saying at least one of them. I must admit, the experience at Temple has been grueling, unbearable, and quite frankly, hell. But. as the fourth year winds down it's easy to look back and reflect on the more positive aspects of education. I thank God everyday for the outstanding opportunity, the rite of passage, and the strong friendships Temple has given to me. But it all comes down to appreciating and thanking my friends, my sisters (and brother-in-law), my parents, and my husband for their unconditional love, support, and advice throughout the years.

Chemistry Los Angeles, CA It’s amazing how far 1 have come. In the beginning, dental school was very difficult. I remember the late hours spent studying and long nights in preclinic lab. Those long hours have prepared me well for clinic and have brought me confidence to make it through clinic. However, without the support of instructors, friends, and family, it would be difficult for me to succeed. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all instructors such as Dr. Monasky. Dr. Rosen. Dr. Merenar and all my friends (Mike. Nick. Felicia, Thuc...)and my family who helped make this dream come true.

Oi te, Yex ir Of T c tWhry ACULTY STAFF During the first two years of dental school we grew aquainted with the faculty at Temple on both a professional and personal level. But, during the last two years of this seemingly endless journey, we have come to know the staff as well. The two entities together have helped us to find new- ways to work in and around the Temple Dental system. The support staff, even though at certain limes slow to be seen or suprisingly elusive, have been the backbone to the functionality of the school. Without them we would not have clean instruments, chairs to scat patients, clinic supplies, nor in-house paging with occasional intercom conversations. Without the faculty we would still be where we were four years ago: sane, a full head of hair, a medicine cabinet devoid of Prozac and a nasal lining of healthy tissue (rather than gold dust). In all fairness the faculty, staff, and even students have their good days and their bad; you just have to learn how to strategically maneuver around the obstacles. TOP TEN WAYS TO IMPRESS THE FACULTY AND STAFF: 10. Remember, at 3:45PM if s time to wrap up. 9. When asked about overdue charts, always say that you just dropped them in the box. 8. Don't ask to have any projects regraded, because on a good day it may be an “A , and on a bad day it may be a C . 7. Only ask for one drop of bonding agent per tooth, and shame on you for not having a contact lens holder. 6. When asked • Why? remember the answer can be found on www.DrJRoscn.com. 5. Take Sturdevant and Shillinburg to bed. alternately or together, whatever your pleasure. 4. Only two pairs of gloves per clinic session, and overgloves are your friends. 3. Golden rule of prcclinic: Sh-y but shiny! 2. Color coordinate your clothes from your eyeglasses to your shoes. I.

TU Ju-fef NDERCLASSMEN On our interview day, we were told and shown all the endless possibilities that Temple Dental had to offer. We knew that dental school would be tough, but we did not know what was in store for us. The first two days were easy: we met the Dean (ivou ), and got all our cool new toys. On the third day we woke up and were slammed into the real world (iouch ). From that day forward we have been taking it one step at a time, for better or for worse. We've come so far not understanding all that has been asked of us (aren't there labs that will do that for us in the future?), but unfortunately we had to do it. Soon we will leave these hallowed halls of Temple and will join those who have gone before us out in the real world -we can't wait! THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF PRE-CLINIC I.

Frovn Pc c 't tc @2 Organizations Here at Temple it can be very easy to get lost, whether in class or clinic. For this reason there are many different clubs and organizations which provide guidance to their members. They range from the Asian American Club, which helps students prepare for their first two years of dental school, to the triad of fraternities to which members can turn for help in clinic or for social matters. In any case, the clubs and organizatons provide us a link between social and academic life, and also between the students and the faculty. Most importantly, they give us an avenue by which we can explore different aspects of dentistry that may not be taught in our regular curriculum. 10. Free samples and demos. 9.

On a pleasant December day, Orville Wright took to the sky for 12 seconds over the sand dunes of Kitty Hawk, N.C., in an airplane he designed with his brother, Wilbur. Like kids with a new toy, Ine two brothers, bicycle mechanics by trade, took turns flying the croft made of wood, wire and cloth, at one point keeping it aloft for 59 seconds. The Wright brothers' craft, which they called the Flyer, made what was once considered impossible possible and opened the heavens for the future advancement of flight. Those advancements happened very quickly with nearly all the elements of the modern airplane in place a mere 15 years after Orville and Wilbur's historic day at Kitty Hawk.
