Freshman year, or ‘‘the year of the pit’’, holds fond memories for us all. We come to dental school armed only with our inquisitive minds, seeking Tooth Truth. Little did we know that we would be facing the fearsome Checker. Who will forget the agony of subjecting his precious blue crown to the Checker’s wrath; or the exhilaration of seeing him write his initials on our card? The artistic skills of a dental student are expressed better in no other phase of dentistry than in Wax Carving.

The Raving Once upon a lab day dreary, while | pondered weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of the dental lore While | nodded nearly napping, suddenly | heard a tapping, As of someone gently rapping, rapping on the concrete floor. “Oh my God, it fell’”” | muttered as my blue crown hit the floor. Ah, distinctly | remember, it was in the bleak December; And each separate piece of blue wax wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly, | wished the morrow, as | sat in deepened sorrow; For now | had to beg and borrow a blue crown for mine on the floor. For the rare and devilish checker, whom the students call “the Raving’ Was waiting for me evermore. - Presently my soul grew stronger, hesitating then no longer, “Sir,” said I, or “Dr. Raving, accept this blue crown, | implore.” ‘Twas just too bad he was not napping. Sternly he began his yapping. | was melting from his yapping as my classmates sat there clapping. “Please, Sir, won’t you check this blue crown?” As he added to his score, quothe Dr. Raving, ‘“Nevermore.””
