man's best friend. Hurrying down the four flights to the kennels before the rest of the class, he soon returned to his partner with a contented smile on his face leading a bashful hound and a pack of discontented fleas. 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

Extra-curricular activities became quite popular and possible at this stage and consequently the fraternities flourished. Rathke, DiLaura and Haar were the politicos of the Zips as well as other functions. Cleveland, Barber, Shepson 8t Schoenleber took over the reins of Delta Sigma Delta. Tresser, Lieberman, Zitrin 8g Redstone manned the guns for Alpha Omega. Three fraternal organi- zations for a small institution seemed quite futile, to say the least, but they all managed to stay above board and furnish a quarter or half of foam now and then. The occasional party was always well attended and usually afforded a good deal of entertainment. Casper Ferraro amazed everyone with the notes he could strum out of his home-made, single-stringed bass violin. Accom- panied by one of several masters of the keyboard, the rhythm bounced. Joe Quinlivan, noted for Gaelic wit, oft'times sang a solo in praise of the Emerald lsle. Any and all floor shows highlighted the star performer from Coney Island-- the one and only representative from Greece in the school, Peter lHi Societyl Koutros. c Slowly we progressed through the basic dental sciences and techniques. Some- thing to remember during this phase is the demonstration the professor of Oral and Dental Histology gave the class on the detrimental effects of thumb sucking.
