HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS The art of writing a class history, especially of such an illustrious class as 1932, is indeed quite an undertaking and should, in (jrder to live up to its definition, include incidents which have now become history since our class embarked on the more oarless perilous seas of dentistry. It was in the fall of 1927, that a group of men, green ])erhaps, in more than one sense of the word, congregated in front of our now old school, and discussed the wln ' s and wherefore of dentistry. Men, it seems, were here from all portions of the country. North, South, East and West had their resi)ective representatives and one man went as far as to acclaim that he had come clean from Pittsburgh. Soon the group dispersed, some to look at the amazing secrets of the embalming room and others to search out the cam]5us. Our first day of school was not attended by any outliursts. yet perhaps, some were more or less homesick for the farm, when it came their opportunity to attend a lecture not far distant from the adjoining stables. Dr. Vanden Bosche, however, soon turned our thoughts to higher and nobler things when he demonstrated the art of writing chemistry formulas, which we might add, has since become one of the lost arts among many of us. Perhaps the most irksome occupation of our first year was the grinding and grinding and more grinding of our extracted teeth in order to determine the ' ' ins and outs of a tooth. Why, thought many, should we grind here all day getting saturated with tooth lust when there are nobler things to achieve — besides here ' s a good show at the Century. I)Ut as time went on we did it with many other disa- greeable things and liked it. With the advent of our sophomore year a few casualties were sustained, to be sure, but the mortality was not high and with addition of twenty odd new mem- bers, our class delved deeper into the secrets of dentistry. Physics, we found, was cultural and with anatomy on our curriculum we decided that perhaps some of us shoul d have become morticians we were so deft in disassembling some of our less fortunate brethren. We had our first real taste of dentistry when we had our first course in ])rosthetic technic. We learned to tear down and set up teeth, especially to tear them down, with amazing alacrity. In our pre-junior year we began to feel more like dentists, especially when we began cavity operative courses. This is a snap, thought we, it ' ll be a cinch to do. How dififerent we found this to be. anrl how difficult to keep the l)ur from our fingers. The crown and bridge work proved interesting not only to us but to our par- ents, especially when we had to write home for more money for gold. We had burned a crown or bridge, we were forced to explain, and burning our bridges seemed to follow us through our later j ' ears. When we finally entered the clinic, some of us, in our new white gowns, were prepared or thought we were, to have them, bring on the patients, but a few days later we began to wonder just what it was all about. Some began to wonder just what good that little mouth mirror was anyway and couldn ' t we do better with just one hand? The other seemed to be always in the way. With experience, however, these little difficulties were ironed out and at last we became full fledged seniors standing on the threshold of our chosen ])rofession. With the goal of our efiforts for five years just ahead, we are saddened by the thought that the pleasant associations which we have formed will in a large measure be history, so that the faculty and alumni will have no reason to blush for the achievements of the greatest class yet graduated from the denal department of the UjU ' verMX-PiJ arydaJl ' l D W Y UiJ S JOiS KistonajJ ,- 29
