il u e We are ready for the future . . . whatever it may bring. We have learned that we have only begun to learn . , . that every day will bring more, and that experience will lessen the gap left between dental school and the practice of dentistry. We have experienced four years, we have soaked in four years, we have felt four years, we have had the damndest experience anyone could ever have! For some it has been but a day ' s wild experience, a phase of life to be lived and then forgotten; to others it has been a nightmare finally lived through; for a few it has been fun . . . hell, fire and damnation must be mild bv comparison. But, it is done, and only the good memories will linger for long. The Worry, Anxiety and Fear we experienced will soon fade into a past which will remain suppressed and long forgotten. It was not our purpose here to predict nor predispose the future for any of us, but to chronical the past. The prospects for the future are bright, not for what we have endured, but for what this experience has taught us. It has taught us that enduring, of and for itself, will produce results ... we can now pick our own goals . . . and results. 257
