r o 1 o g u e This is the pictorial record of the Class of 1966. To be sure, it contains some words. Words have a peculiar way of meaning different things to different people. The words we have placed here have been carefully put together . . , they will mean different things to each who read them, they will convey the message we have placed in them to many; to others they may mean nothing . . . but to those of us wh o have lived them, they will tell the whole story, and in future years will bring flooding back the memories of good times and bad. If this sounds nostalgic, it is intended that way — and will, in the years to come, mean nearly that. There is commentary in this book, there is wit, and there is humor . . . but most of all, there is memory. When we entered dental school, we were full of confidence, eager to learn, and anxious to become dentists of the finest caliber. Gradually, some of the shinyness eroded away, cynicism began to creep into our thoughts, and a little of the idealism was scraped away from the surface ... for the dentist ' s education is as tough as any, anywhere. But we, as so many others before us, have endured. We go now into the world of dentistry, full of confidence, eager to learn more, and anxious to maintain dentistry of high caliber.
