V tlemen, and on that memorable occasion in September T947, old friends, acquaintances and pure strangers assembled to form a family, conceived in one ideal and bound as a living unit for an undivorced four years. Waiting outside the portal of 25 Good- rich, looks of wonderment and awe grasped us for at least a moment or two as we reflected to realize that the last and most important step toward that coveted degree was at hand. lt all seemed strange that we, out of the multitudes called, were chosen. l could have been someone else and you, too, for that matter, but it was soon made known to us that we were the cream of the crop.

Had he read the effects of morphine on dogs he could have avoided a lot of trouble, for not long after the hypo of morphine was given he and his partners had their reaction. That pup must have had a stomach the size of a revival tent and an intestine the length of Main street. Flynn and Brooks couldn't shovel fast enough and had to call up reserves. That brings to mind the story of the street cleaner and his broom which White has the answer for. By January T949, we had made our formal entrance into the dental college. The gruelling months of study in the basic medical sciences were behind us and like an eye for an eye-a tooth for a tooth, new worries and responsi- bilities fell upon us. The Chase National Bank, which DiLaura owns, floated a
