Senior Class History So we have come to the end, or is it tiie Ijej inningl ' Five years — prjof! Just like that! Certainly, it is the Ijeginning of something, but it is the enrl of sr)mething, too, isn ' t it? Let us see. No, it isn ' t right! It isn ' t fair! These five years, come and gtjne so fjuickly. Ferha|)s the sweetest passage of our hves has just reached completion, ( ome. Magic Mirrrjr, l;ring l;ack those tender memories. Just a hunch of eager youngsters we were, Ijack there in ' 29. Oiii- new and beautiful school building was yet to become sf)meone ' s idea. What a class that was! More than rtne hunrlred of us crowded the lecture halls of the old building. Actjuaintances were being made and friend- ships were near in the offing. That mad rushing of ever-officious fraternity pledge men swept us completely off our feet. Secretly, we were so pleased over the fuss about us that we fell easy prey to those soft-tongued connivers. And then came the selection of Class Officers, and we voted for men we had hardly known. A taste of Dr. Black ' s Glossary, and the dissectirjn of teeth cau.sed us to wonder, What is it all about? — but the year was over. We were full fledged embryo dentists. Back we came that following Fall, to take up where we had left off. But lo! The scene had changed. Those old homes across from our school had lieen razed completely and some magnifi- cent structure had grown in its place. A new, beautiful, ultra-modern edifice had been dedi- cated to dentistry, by our University of Maryland. How quick we were to accept these new conveniences offered. The original class roster had diminished to one-half, but new faces appeared in the advanced standings to take their place. Among other things, will we ever forget the dissecting room in May, and the ever-pre ' ailing Sweet Essence of Formaldehyde about our clothes? The Pre-Junior year came on as a blessing; a sweet relief after that hard grind of Sophomore courses, and with the sweets came the bitter — the midnight lecture period — Materia Medica, at the uncivilized hour of 8:00 a.m. We were rapidly learning the true meaning of dentistry. Ca ity preparation. Crown and Bridge, and Prosthetics had become a reality, not merely subject for thought. The Junior Year came upon us suddenly. It wasn ' t that we hadn ' t awaited it anxiously, or that we felt slightly unprepared — (No, never that!) but it had always seeined so distant. Those white gowns were grand! There were very few of us who failed to have snapshots of oursehes taken in this attire to send home to the folks. That first prophyla. is! Weren ' t we sacred, and didn ' t we discuss it eagerly that night? But confidence came on rapidly, and no clinical task seemed too difficult. The wild stampede for infirmary requirements, specimens and examinations came all bunched up, and another year had gone. As Seniors go, generally, we were a pretty cock-sure bunch at the opening of the Fall term. We could meet almost any situation on the floor without help. Why, we were even doing our own root canals without assistance — an ' dat ' s sumpin! The no ' elty had worn off somewhat, and the interest in dentistry seemed to present itself t o us in an entirely new phase. Every new case was individual. This is our profession ahead of us; our life ' s work, beginning. The school days have come to an end. Parting becomes such sweet sorrow. W ' e have made friends and formed associations which will ha e moulded our lives — a comradeship de eloped through school acti ' ities, fraterni- ties, societies, and so on, ad infinitum. Perhaps we ha -e shirked some responsibilities and missed many opportunities that ha ' e presented themsehes, but who amongst us can boast per- fection? We are entering this chosen profession with a pulsating enthusiasm that must never suffer dampening. E ' ery man has a mistress, whether she is in the form of lo e, money, or learning. The mistress of dentistry is most jealous of all. ith her there is no philandering, no procrastination, no element of the companionate marriage idea. She is loved for herself, or not at all. Mildew often adds some value to a document; dust sometimes lends dignity to old bottles even if they contain new wine; and cobwebs have been known to make admirable settings for otherwise commonplace incidents. It has come to pass, therefore, that the history of the Class of 1933 is not written in the wax and parchment of official documents, it is not to be found in confidential files. There are no secrets. In this passage an effort was made only to record our history. If we can look back, years hence, recall the happy years spent at school and say. I wouldn ' t ha e missed it for the world, — Then may the memory linger on. Cliff Schwartz, 1933 Twenty-Three
