He was an only child to a blue-collar family in Allentown, PA. His father drove a beer delivery truck; his mother sewed buttons at a shirt factory. While his parents only had a high school education, they placed great value on education. As a child growing up, his mother always wanted him to be a doctor. However, Dr. Schneck almost didn't make it into medicine. After graduating from high school, he took a job as a construction worker and liked it very much. He recalled that, 1 could've been a dry-waller for the rest of my life. Fortunately for us. Dr. Schneck continued his education and pursued premed at Muhlenberg College in Allentown. While there, he recalled especially enjoying classes taught by Professor Stein in philosophy, ethics, and religion. It was at this time that he discovered learning though the Socratic method. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree 1955, Dr. Schneck began his medical education at Temple University School of Medicine. While he was accepted to other local medical schools such as Jefferson and Hahneman, Temple was his first choice. Dr. Schneck chose Temple because of its faculty, who were not only internationally recognized in their respective field of medicine, but also were good teachers. Furthermore, he thought Temple was a good place to learn medicine. He was not disappointed. Dr. Schneck had always been interested in teaching. As a teen, he was involved in teaching, in the Boy Scouts and the Red Cross. However, it was not until medical school that he realized he wanted to be a science teacher. Dr. Schneck admitted that he was torn between Anatomy and Physiology. Ultimately, he went with Anatomy because of the influences of his mentor. Dr. John Huber (who happened to be the chairman of the department at the time). Dr. Schneck graduated from the school of medicine in 1959 and shortly afterward started his rotating internship at Frankford Hospital in Philadelphia. On New Year's eve of that year, Dr. Schneck recalled how he saw 52 patients while on call by himself (and a nurse) in the ER. This was especially difficult for him because he had gotten no sleep the night before due to the birth of his first daughter. Upon completion of his internship in 1960, Dr. Schneck returned to Temple in a faculty position. In his first year, he taught Gross Anatomy, Histology, Embryology, and Neuroanatomv. In addition, he pursued his Ph.D on a part time basis, with Dr. Huber as his advisor. In 1965, Dr. Schneck became the first person to receive a doctorate degree from the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology at Temple. In 1974, Dr. Schneck was promoted to full professor in the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology. As a teacher, Dr. Schneck wanted to eliminate lectures in anatomy. He felt that the Socratic method, which he had learned from his undergraduate experience, was the best way to teach. Further, he felt that he should teach anatomy that would be of value to the majority of practicing physicians rather than an exhausting comprehensive approach. According to Dr. Schneck, we try not to tell the students too much; instead, we encourage them to read on their own, provide motivation, and give feedback. For Dr. Schneck, the most rewarding thing about teaching is, to see students grow; to see them become independent self-learners. Me states that he loves it when students ask questions - which show that they've thought the information through. Today, after 40 years at Temple, Dr. Schneck continues to teach medical students in many topics related to human anatomy. In addition, he also lectures at the Continuing Medical Education level, prepares review courses for the National Board of Medical Examiners exam as well as board exams in Rehabilitative Medicine, Neuroscience, and Psychiatry. With the new millennium approaching. Dr. Schneck has one major concern: COMPUTERS. He believes that computers have a place in medical education, but worries that some will take it to the extreme, resulting in correspondence education rather than one-to-one, faculty-to-student interactions. According to Dr. Schneck, if you lose personal mentoring, you lose a lot. Dr. Schneck and his wife, Freda vacationing in the Canadian Rockies Dr. Schneck and his wife Freda and their daughter Deborah When not at work. Dr. Schneck enjoys reading theology and gardening. He is very involved with his church and community planning. He and his wife, Freda, have been married since 1956. They have two daughters: Deborah, who received her BSand MBA from Temple; and Stephanie, who received her BS and MD at Temple also. Stephanie is blessed with a two year old girl, Claire (who has the honor of being the first grandchild of the Schnecks). Health permitting. Dr. Schneck has no plans for retirement and intends to continue his accomplished career at Temple. Over the years. Dr. Schneck has received many awards for his excellence. This includes Cum Laude Award of the Radiological Society of America, Alpha Omega Alpha Distinguished Teacher Award, as well as Temple University Great Teacher Award. In addition, The SKULL has been dedicated to Dr. Schneck three times before. One piece of advice Dr. Schneck would like to leave for the Class of 1999 is this: You can't take anything out of this life, but you can leave stuff behind. What you leave behind is what you transmit toother people, including students and children. It is with the greatest admiration and gratitude that the Class of 1999, facing a great new millennium, dedicates this edition of the SKULL to Dr. Carson Schneck. Thank you for teaching us, inspiring us, and encouraging us to greater heights. What you shared with us through our time here at Temple, we will surely share with our children. Daughter Stephanie with her daughter, Claire John Saito George Mark Class of 1999 The precious things in life HOODERS Hoods are a relic of medievalism in modem academic life. The hood's silken lining is the color of the university conferring the degree, and the velvet indicates the special area of study. The colors of Temple University are cherry red and white: dark green represents medicine. Hooders are individuals who symbolically bestow our degrees upon us. Each year the senior class chooses four individuals to place Academic Hoods upon us at our graduation ceremony. These distinguished individuals were selected not only for their superb quality of teaching, but for their hard work and dedication to the Class and Temple University School of Medicine. Our four years in medical school have been easier and more enjoyable due to individuals such as these, and they have served as inspirations and role models to us all. Hooders for the Class of 1999 are: Dr. Ronald Tuma. Professor and Chairperson. Department of Physiology, and Assoicate Dean of Medical Research: Dr. Ren nett Lorber, Professor of Medicine and Section Chief of the Section of Infectious Diseases; Dr. Gerald Sterling. Professor, Department of Pharmacology, and Associate Dean for Medical Education; and Gloria Greenberg. Administrative coordinator. Dean's Office. On behalf of the Class of 1999, the yearbook staff wishes to thank each of our hooders for the time they have taken to guide us through the beginning of our medical careers.

Jennifer Diabo Jennifer Diabo. M.D. 127 Richard Dressier, M.D. The good physician knows his patients through and through, and his knowledge is bought dearly. Time, sympathy, and understanding must be lavishly dispensed, but the reward is to be found in that personal bond which forms the greatest satisfaction of the practice of medicine. One of the essential qualities of the clinician is interest in humanity, for the secret of the care of the patient is in caring for the patient. -Dr. Francis Peabody 128 Richard Dressier.

M.D. Grief thief of time crawls off, The moon-drawn grave, with the seafaring years. The knave of pain steals off The sea-halved faith that blew time to his knees The old forget the cries, Lean time on tide and limes the wind stood rough. Call back the castaways Riding the sea light on a sunken path, The old forget the grief. Hack of the cough, the hanging albatross, Cast back the bone of youth And salt-eved stumble bedward where she lies Who tossed the high tide in a time of stories And timelesslv lies loving with the thief. -Dylan Thomas Daniel Hartman.

Philippians 3:8 -May all the physicians in my class come to know this Great Truth. thomascho@juno.com 146 Thomas C. Ho. M.D. If I speak in tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, 1 am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophesy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always presevers. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we now in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, 1 reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face for face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now' these three remain; faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. I Corinthians 13 NIV Melissa Lynn Horner. M.D. 147 Just one day... r .O. To Dad (Richard W. Hughes) You taught me the beauty in nature and the wisdom that doesn't come with a degree. I am still your little girl. To Mom (Carolyn J.

But no matter what path you follow, do not be ashamed of your learning. In some corner of your life, you know more about something than anyone else on earth. The true measure of your education is not what you know, but how you share what you know with others.

M.D. remember the magic If there were ever a time to dare, to make a difference, to embark on something worth doing, it is now. Not for any grand cause, necessanly-but for something that tugs at your heart, something that's your aspiration, something that's your dream You owe it to yourself to make your days here count. Have fun. Dig deep. Stretch. Dream big. Know, though, that things worth doing seldom come easy There will be good days. And there will be Kid days There will be times when you want to turn around, pack it up, and call it quits. Those times tell you that you are pushing yourself, that you are not afraid to leam by trying. Persist. Because with an idea, determination, and the right tools, you can do great things Let your instincts, your intellect, and your heart guide you. Trust. Believe in the incredible power of the human mind. Of doing something that makes a difference. Of working hard. Of laughing and hoping. Of lazy afternoons. Of lasting friends. Of all the things that will cross your path this year The start of something new brings the hope of something great. Anything is possible.

M.D. 217 Mom and Dad, without the two of you I would never have had the strength to pursue my dreams. You have always been strong for me, encouraged me, and helped me realize my potential. This ns I see it, is the vocation to which you have been called. Understand wltat it is, and what it requires of you with gleaming clarity. From this first day, immerse yourself in learning its techniques and skills. Discipline yourself to accept and meet the burdensome demands that it will continuously make upon you. From now on, you are engaged in the service of the sick. With the knowledge you are acquiring as a scientist, with your clinical art developed through experience, with the warmth of your own spirit and the strength of your own character, with the laying on of your hands, and in response to your words, you can make the sick better, and fill the dying with peace. These are great powers. ALWAYS deserve them. Excerpt from the Effective Clinician, by Philip A. Tumulty, M.D., Professor of Medicine, Johns Hopkins, 1973 Pat, you have been a great friend, and roomate. I wish you all the best in your marriage.

Religion without science is blind ' -Albert Einstein “Beat’achon ” takes secular old standards and gives them a spiritual twist. Sextet combines harmony, Hebrew By Kay Raftery INQUIRER CORRESPONDENT The style is a throwback to the 1950s and '60s. when every Dion wanna-be and his gang, wearing tight jeans and T-shirts, hair slicked back, and fingers snapping, hung out on street corners harmonizing notes that slid up and down the scale from basso to tenor. Beat'achon sings a capella, too. but you’re more likely to hear the music in a synagogue. The group, whose name is a transliteration of the Hebrew words for “security and “faith, writes original music, adapts some oldies, and adds new lyrics straight from the Scriptures. Its unaccompanied musical style combines doo-wop. rhythm and blues, jazz, pop and salsa. All in Hebrew. It's kind of like Jewish gospel music. said Richie Price, of Wynnewood, whose sweet tenor carries the high parts for Beat'achon Price. 25, is married, a medical student at Temple University, and the cantor at Congregation See HARMONY on BA I r PMIaaelQMa InqurW BONNIE WELtEP Richie Price, who sings tenor for Beat'achon.' stands in front of the ark at Congregation Beth T'fillah in Overbrook Park, where he is the cantor.

It would end the way a sonnet ends, complete. Without any blood. Ironic, really. Because my sister hasn't written fiction since high school. She's in med school now, covered in blood all the time. And so this poem, which isn't much of a sonnet anyway, will not try to end like one(close, but not quite). It will end with each of us wondering what will come next, what city to read-up on.

M.D. 251 Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be In silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution m your business affair, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love: for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universeno less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. 252 Kirsten Jennifer Voss, M.D. Believe To accomplish great things vve must not only act, but also dream not only plan, but also believe. -ANATOLE FRANCE Margaret Weaver, M.D. 253 Still I Rise By Maya Angelou You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust. I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? 'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns. With the certainty of tides. Just like hopes springing high. Still I'll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries. Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard 'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines Diggin' in my own back yard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may kill me with your hatefulness. But still, like air. I'll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history's shame I rise Up from a past that's rooted in pain I rise I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide. Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear I rise Bringing thegifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise. 254 Tamika A. Webb, M.D. 'ti-JU C. m My Support Staff The women who inspire me Always by My Side Raashan Carlos Williams. M.D. 255 inspiration... 256 Julie Wu.

Yu Intramurals Temple Med Rugby From its inception in the early 1960s to the present day, the Temple Med Rugby Football Club has represented a strong tradition in the Medical School. With its demise this year, a void will be left on campus. In a division composed of such strong competitors as Wharton, P.C.O.M. and Villanova Law School, Temple Med Rugby has distinguished itself time and time again, as one of toughest teams in the Philadelphia Craduate School division. Two seasons as the champions of the Eastern Seaboard Graduate School League, and numerous City Championships are just a few of the victories the team can boast of, and just a few of the fantastic memories it will leave us with. Special mention is deserved for Dr. Kenneth Cundv, who served as the team's official faculty advisor for 25 years, from 1965-1992, and as the unnoficial advisor since his retirement. His devotion to the team has made it possible for us all, fan and rugger alike, to enjoy this fast and furious sport.____________________ Physiology Picnic We want a pitcher not a belly itcher Swing and a miss!

Leon S. Malmud, M.D. Dean, Temple University School of Medicine Senior Vice President, Health Sciences Center President, Temple University Health System A Residency at Abington? Five Temple grads tell why they chose Abington Memorial Hospital. Abington’s Dental Residency Program is committed to producing excellent clinical practitioners in an environment that is conducive to learning. A strong focus is placed upon mastering the skills deemed necessary to become an outstanding and very knowledgeable dentist. Working intimately with specialists has strengthened my overall clinical ability. This residency will surely benefit my future practice in the years to come.” Andrew Cohen, D.M.D., Temple '98 — Dentistry Abington integrates outstanding clinical, technical and intellectual education in an environment which fosters early graded responsibility. An excellent ancillary staff allows a resident to spend more time training to be a surgeon and less doing “scut”. Combined with a wealth of resources and a positive work environment, graduating chiefs emerge qualified and confident for the general surgical practice a fellowship of their choosing. Seth Newman, M.D., Temple '97 — Surgery I chose Abington for the opportunity to experience superior training and still have some semblance of a life while in residency. I have always felt fortunate to have matched here. As a second year, I am doing operations usually reserved for Fellows in other programs. I have found that Abington OB GYN candidates are skilled, confident, well-rounded physicians competitive for Fellowship positions. I would not change anything! Bethany Perry, M.D., Temple '97 — OB GYN I chose AMH for Internal Medicine residency for several reasons. First, having seen the broad range of cases which present to AMH during my clerkships here, I knew I could gain the experience I needed to be an effective primary care physician. Second, I enjoy the suburban patient population, which is where I hope to eventually practice. Third. I wanted to do my residency where I could look forward to going to work every day. At Abington. there is a wealth of attending expertise and support staff excellence in a friendly atmosphere. Finally, with its close teaching ties to Temple, there is a strong academic environment. Fellowship options remain viable, while job options can be pursued and evaluated. Mary Tobkin, M.D., Temple '98 — Internal Medicine Abington combines the variable educational opportunities of a large hospital with a diverse outpatient experience that I was looking for in a Family Practice Residency. Either inpatient or outpatient, I am able to sec many diseases in many different psychosocial situations. Also, a friendly approachable staff makes an excellent chance to learn easily.” Robert Hermann, M.D., Temple '96 — Family Practice Abington Memorial Hospital offers — • Level II Trauma Center • Major obstetrical referral center • High teeh facilities— MRI. advanced operating suite and critical care units, 3 cardiac catheterization labs.

ROBERT SCOTT MYERS, M.D Dear Rob, Just like yesterday, so it seems, that we were awaiting your acceptance into medical school. Not too far from recollection is the memory of when you were little and we accompanied your father on his hospital rounds, spending time in many a hospital parking lot waiting patiently for Dad. You soon realized going on rounds was better than waiting around. A humane interest was ignited. It has spurred you to volunteer, to tutor, to get involved in community service. Experience and understanding have shaped your caring manner. How proud we are of you. You have demonstrated compassion, kindness, and a certain sensitivity that will make you an excellent physician. The patients that you are caring for will be lucky to have you treat them. May you always be surrounded by family and friends to share all the special moments life has to offer. We are happy you decided to follow the road to doctorhood. Giving to others become you, Robert. Good luck and God bless you. You are truly our special doctor.
