Alpha Chapter of Alpha Omega Fraternity had one of its greatest years in its history. Our membership is at its highest peak in the history of the local chapter. Our traditional emphasis upon professionalism and increased knowledge of our profession gave us an in- teresting slate of activities. Guest speakers were invited to our monthly business meetings. Among these speak- ers were three members of our faculty. Dr. J. Guttuso spoke on The Selection of Endodontic Cases for Gen- eral Practicef' In November Dr. H. Johnson carried on an informal discussion on Dentistry in the Armed Serv- ices, and in February Dr. S. Hazen moderated two films on Periodontics. To supplement our own pro- gram, the undergraduate chapter played an active part in the series of monthly Sunday brunches sponsored by the local Alumni Chapter of A.O. At these brunches, prominent speakers in the held of Dentistry presented stimulating lectures. These men came from areas other than Buffalo, therefore giving us other view points on their various phases of dentistry. Our special program was the most active in the his- tory of the Fraternity. A variety in types of parties were held. These ranged from a semi-formal Dinner- Dance to an old clothes party held at an area ranch. In February a Toboggan Party was held. The social cal- endar came to a close with our Gala Closing Afiair held at the Charter House. The outlook of Alpha Omega at Buffalo appears ex- tremely bright as our membership is growing steadily in number. This year there are only five graduating Sen- iors. Joscph Greer is going into the Air Force. Norman J. Lederman is going to Intern at the Eastman Dental Dispensary in Rochester, N.Y. Bernard Schugar is going to New York City to Intern at the Poly Clinic of N.Y. Michael Tannenbaum is going back to his home town of Ellenville, N.Y. to go into practice, and Joel Treewater is going into the Army.
