Dental lass of 196 7 l v 'tar Robert Chick Emilio Cappellucci Michael Altman President Vice President Secretary As the last warm days of summer 1964 drew to a close, a new and different class of society arose out of the depths of mediocrity. This was the class of 1967g a class of excellence. This goal was achieved through the efforts, hard work, and staunch determination of all of the members of the class. The object of each member was to do the very best that he could possibly do. This was a year of transition. The academic studies of bacteriology, pathology and pharmacology gave way to the technical studies of operative dentistry, fixed partial prosthodontics, complete removable prostho- dontics, periodontics, radiodontics and oral histology. The transition to practical matters was taken up ea- gerly and with esprit de corps by all of us. The perfecting of a good piece of work could be felt as a sense of satisfaction, joy and pride. Each of us knew we had tried to do our bestg when we did, we were a happy class, with a full sense of achievement. Let us recount some educational excursions through the year. In pathology we learned how to write in Greek, that Dr. Sanes had an abcess in his finger, and that some autopsies showed no pathological changes. In bacteriology we were told, Gentlemen-we are liv- That inlay is here somewhere. Q1 i 1. vw.:-. . Richard Sobel Student Council Representative Mario T. Catalano Treasurer ing in an era of changing times, that the man who devised the Rh blood system was as 'lstubborn as a jack-, and that mother of pearl and father of gems elixir would cure anything, penicillin had too many side effects and that inert anesthetics are very good explosives. In operative technique the keynote was extension for preventioni' and don't unscrew your teeth. Crown and bridge was frown and cringe and what does a 50 taper exactly look like. Full denture was memorable. We made 50,000 impressions, 50,000 stone casts, and kept the base plate manufacturers wealthy. Oral histology was the same story for the second time-artifacts. The course in periodontics had half the class in terror for forty-five minute shifts and Dr. Hazen trying to show us which surface of the cu- rette was the working surface. Finally in radiology we learned something of X-ray machines and of linear ac- cererators, and the syncobetapolysupercyclocosmotron. With the conclusion of last year's studies, we sincerely felt that we had attained a new 'fsense of value and a meaningful goal-to be worthy of our profession. This year we have established another goal-excellence. Hurt me once more and I'm going back to Boston.
