The Class of February 1946, having pursued a course of study in Dentistry under a program of acceleration necessitated by War, now stands ready to enter a peaceful world as professional men. We approach the prac­ tise of our chosen profession with humility, well trained by our instructors, and ready to serve mankind to the utmost of our ability. FOREWORD

•*r'"V-\

As Dentists, each and every one of us, in our services to patient and community, shall strive for the highest standards for a two-fold purpose: first, that by our actions we uphold the fine tradition of our Alma Mater; and, secondly, by the same token, we aid in the advancement of the profession of Dentistry in its rightful place among the healing arts. Dedication ". . . Never in the history of human conflict have so many owed so much to so few . . WINSTON CHURCHILL

With peace a reality and plans being drawn for the construction of a better world in which people of all races, creeds, and colors may work, play, and live amicably together, it seems but fitting that we pause here to honor the men whose combined effort made this dream of ages an actuality. Each one, for his own reasons, gathered up the things in life most dear to him and cast them into the scales of the Fates. Each one, in a manner that best fitted his individual talents, took up arms against the powers of aggression. With respect to those who made the supreme sacrifice in order that we, our children, and our children's children might enjoy benefits they knew they could never live to see, there is little we. could write comparable to the marks they have made in the annals of history with their blood. We may all be proud of the fine record the Dental Profession has made for itself on the battlefields and in the camps of the past war. To all the Temple University School of Dentistry alumni who served with the Armed Services of the United States, and especially to those of them who died for profession and country, we humbly dedicate our efforts.

Michael A. Dobosh *27 Louis R. Katz '26 Joseph J. Koslowslc? '43 Alexander P. Suer '38 IN APPRECIATION TO DR. SANDMAN: The fact that the Senior Class, to a man, will leave Temple University Dental School with the same grand opinion of Dr. Sandman, in itself at­ tests to his ability to make lasting friendships and his interest in his students. From our first contact with "Uncle George" in our Sophomore Crown and Bridge technic classes, we were impressed. Our admiration and affection for him increased whenever we met him on the clinic floor and in the classrooms in our Junior and Senior years.

Appreciation

Dr. Sandman has always been ready to lend assistance to his students with their technical or clinical requirements; he has always lent a sympa­ thetic ear to their woes, he has cheerfully expended his time and his energy in their behalf. We, of the Odontolog Staff, are particularly in­ debted to Dr. Sandman for his aid in compiling this volume and his cheerful spirit when the going was rough. In dedicating this page to him, we can only echo the feeling that lies in the heart of every Temple Dental Student when we say: Sincerity, understanding, and professional in­ tegrity—these are the qualities of the man.

i,si Administration GREETINGS. As the first class of this peace-time era, you who are the 1946 graduates of the Dental School are about to be presented with an op­ portunity and a responsibility. The war depleted the ranks of your pro­ fession. At the same time, it revealed the need which the nation has for your skill. Selective Service data show conclusively that millions President's of our people are not meeting minimum standards of dental health. This is a condi­ tion that must be remedied by better health Message education which you will help to supply. It also •calls for a larger number of well-trained dentists, and your availability now will be a timely response to that call. You are entering your profession at a time when its demands are heavy. The period of the war brought advances in dental methods and techniques, and since progress begets< progress, further advance may be expected at an accelerated rate. You will keep abreast of it, of course. I hope you also will contribute to it. As you take leave of us, be assured that the best wishes of the University go with you. I am confident you will fulfill with distinction the requirements of your task.

President, Temple University. TO THE CLASS OF FEBRUARY 1946,

For the past three years you have been living in anticipation of what you have now actually achieved, and your hopes are high for the future. You have been privileged to enter a noble profession at a time when your services will be much in demand, at a time when good service will be appreciated more than ever before. As graduates from the School of Dentistry, you can reflect honor upon your Alma Mater by practising your profession as she would have you do. Exercise skill and proficiency in the discharge of your duties; and so carry on your public and private affairs that your conduct will be an inspiration to others. To be sure, you are beginning your life's Dean's work under most trying conditions. Remember that those who are in practise today have endured the hardships of the past few years Message without flinching or deviating from the line of duty that circumscribes ethical behavior. A profession's advancement is in direct proportion to the effort expended by the men and women who compose it. Therefore, give whole-heartedly to your calling, Join its or­ ganizations, and be ever mindful that the heritage we now enjoy is due, largely, to the loyalty, vision, and devoted service of the educators and practitioners who have pre- ceeded us. As an alumnus, it is your duty to uphold and maintain the principles and standards of conduct as has been taught you at this Uni­ versity since by so doing, you will not only validate its training, but, also, increase its prestige. In thus expressing your gratitude to an institution of learning, you not only honor her but honor yourself, as well as dignify your profession. I hope that as graduates of the School of Dentistry, you will renew your pledge of loyalty to the school, honoring its traditions, reflecting its dignity and assisting its future development. May your acquired knowledge begin to serve you faithfully and well as stepping stones that will carry you forward and upward to the pin­ nacle of professional success. I personally, wish for each and every one of you a continued life of enthusiasm, happiness, and contentment. Sincerely, ^J.^ Facnlty

Sue M. Gibson William Owen Claude King In Memoriam

During the three years that we have been enrolled as students at Temple University School of Dentistry, two of our professors have passed on to their Eternal Rest: Dr. Joseph MacFarland, Professor of Pathology; and Dr. George Schacterle, Professor of Bio-Chemistry and Dental Materials. The joy normally experienced by a Senior on his Day of Graduation, will this year be diminished by the absence of these men from the academic procession. To the memory of two fine gentlemen, whose acquaintance was an experience that will be long remembered by us all, we offer this prayer:

The Lord bless thee and keep thee: The Lord make his face shine upon thee, And be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance unto thee, And give thee peace. Senior CM €B8 8 EDUARDO ARROYO-TORO

Though Temple Alpha Omegans can trace the birth of their family tree at this institution as far back as 1914, it was in the year 1907 that the dental students of Baltimore and Philadelphia met to form the framework of Alpha Omega Fraternity. To bring this history to date, records show that in 1931 Alpha Omega merged with Alpha Zeta Gamma Fraternity, and the resultant organization retained the name of the former body. There is no doubt that these mergers were beneficial and strengthening, for today we are proud to relate that we have thirty-three Undergraduate Chapters throughout the United States and Canada. We also distinguish ourselves by possessing eighteen alumni chapters. Alpha Omega was organized upon the basis of fraternalism, character, and high scholarship. During the past years, we have striven toward achieving these ideals, always trying to bring more honor to our fraternity. Proud of the ideals and goals set by the high standards of Alpha Om'ega Fraternity, our Theta Ramach Chapter, here at Temple, has always attempted to conduct itself in a manner befitting these worthy principles. Theta Ramach sincerely hopes the Senior Class will meet with complete success in attaining not only their ultimate goal in dentistry, but also their aim in life.

Thus, it is the oldest dental fraternity in the world; and, the first fraternity to restrict its membership to dental students or practitioners of dentistry. On February 23, 1884, the fraternity established the Supreme Chapter, the graduating seniors of that year becoming the charter members. They elected the first Supreme Officers on March 7, 1884. During the intervening years, thirty-four chapters have been instituted at the various dental colleges throughout the country, the latest addition being the Rho Rho chapter here at Temple University School of Dentistry. On August 29, 1944, the first meeting of the Rho Rho Club as it was then known, was called to order. The motivating figure of this new organization was D Dr. Robert Fexa, '44, a member of the Operative Dentistry staff. The club- members worked earnestly and faithfully, and, after a patient wait of thirteen E months, were chartered by Delta Sigma Delta on the evening of September 18, 1945. The impressive installation rites were performed at the Epsilon Chapter L House, University of Pennsylvania Dental School. Rho Rho chapter feels that great strength has been attained in the ac­ T complishing of our fraternal inspirations and professional ideals by our associ­ ation with Delta Sigma Delta. We hope to promote the quality of leadership A and create a sphere of good influence at the school, and in so doing, feel that the addition of the Temple University Chapter will be a prominent step toward the betterment of the individual and his professional future in dentistry.

Psi Omega Fraternity was organized at the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery in the spring of 1892. Since then this organization has initiated approxi­ mately 22,000 members, many of whom have contributed much to the national organization and dental educational advancement. There have been eleven Psi Omegans who hove served as presidents of the American Dental Association, and J. Ben Robinson, past President-Elect,, is the Supreme Grand Master of the Fraternity. The head of the Army Dental Corps during World War II, Brigadier General Robert H. Mills is also a member of Psi Omega. Psi Omega was a charter member of the Professional Interfraternity Council, and for many years the only dental fraternity in that organization. Many changes have taken place since the inception. We have prospered and contributed much P to the dental profession.

Once again the publication of the yearbook marks a final step in the student's career at Temple. To our senior fraters, this signifies the culmination of four years of hard work and achievement. The day of graduation is near, and we of S. E. D. join in wishing you the best of luck in the future. Attending school in peacetime was, at best, not too easy, but the misfortune of war imposed a still greater burden upon your shoulders. The customary vacations were replaced by sweltering summers in the clinic. The uncertainty of s the future loomed overhead, constantly harassing. To those who came from distant places, the fraternity took the place of home. Here the hours after school were spent in fellowship and recreation, I lightening the mood of study and making the work of the next day easier to approach. Here, also, you came to know and understand your fellows, to agree or disagree with them, but to gain a lasting friendship with them all. Men to G whom you could turn in moments of crisis. Now you are no longer embryo dentists, but take your place in a revered profession whose past is marked by accomplishments ana1 whose future holds M the promise of still greater achievements in the field of public health.

Xi Psi Phi Fraternity was founded February 8, 1889, at the University of Michigan with Lewis C. Thayer, whose determination was largely responsible for its creation, as the first president. Gamma chapter at Temple, then the Philadelphia Dental College, was chartered in 1894. The basis of. the Fraternity has, from the beginning, been a simple under­ standing of the principles of knowledge, morality, and friendship. X Here at Gamma the past year has been marked by improvement. The House itself admirably depicts the spirit, for changes wrought by a host of I interior decorators are evident the moment one opens the front door. Improve­ ments to the laboratories and the addition of new equipment is indicative of the increasing amount of work done here. Carrying a delermined spirit onto the athletic field, our performance was admirable. Our softball team was undefeated in Interfraternity League compe­ tition; in addition, our basketball team has compiled an admirable record. p Gamma salutes its graduating seniors. These men are a credit not only to their profession, but also to their fraternity. Their efforts here have been s effective and appreciated; but, much more important was their influence on the underclassmen. Their splendid example served as a stimulus to their colleagues, I awakening hidden potentialities and spurring them on to greater achievements. H Seniors:

The Junior American Dental Association was instituted at Temple Dental School in November, 1943. The aim of the society is the furtherance of the principles and ideals of the senior society, among dental undergraduates; and the dissemination of newer scientific developments. Temple's record has been unique: every man on the roster of the school has been a member of the Association since its inception. Regular monthly meetings are held on the first Friday of the month in the Amphitheater, and an imposing list of lecturers have appeared on the platform. Those of us who remain extend hearty congratulations to the graduating members and best wishes for their success in practise. Temple Dental Review

National Honorary

Scholastic Dental Society

To be elected to Omicron Kappa Upsilon is the ambition of every graduating dental student. The Phi Beta Kappa of dentistry had its inception with the class of 1914 of Northwestern University Dental School. On March 17, 1936, the Supreme Chapter, authorized the formation of a chapter of Omicron Kappa Upsilon at Temple Uni­ versity Dental School to be known as Kappa Kappa Chapter Membership in the National Honorary Scholastic Dental Society is limited to twelve per cent of a graduating class, which is selected by faculty action at the completion of the senior year. All members of the faculty possessing a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree are eligible for membership in the society after having served upon the staff for four years. The present officers are:

Honorary President Dean Gerald D. Timmons President Dr. Raymond C. Walter Vice-President Dr. R. J. Forbes Secretary-Treasurer Dr. Carl E. McMurray Features Historical Sketch

The Philadelphia Dental College, which became the Dental School of Temple University in 1907, was organized by Dr. John H. McQuillen Dr S. Greenbaum and several professional associates in the fall of 1862, a charter for the new school being granted by an act of the Legislature of Pennsylvania in the spring of 1863. In November of the same year a competent faculty was secured and the fijst term of the school was inaugurated. At that time there were but three other dental schools in the United States; now there are thirty-nine. Besides keeping abreast of the constant advances in dental educa­ tion and drawing to itself students from every civilized country, this school made a noteworthy departure in first incorporating into its cur­ riculum the study of Oral Surgery. To Professor James E. Garretson, for many years Dean of the Faculty, and a noted and skillful surgeon, is due the credit for this innovation, and also for the organization Dr. D. D. Smith and establishment of the first hospital, formerly known as the Garret- son Hospital, now a part of the Temple University Hospital, devoted to the surgical treatment of diseases and lesions of the mouth, the teeth, and associate parts. In 1907, by mutual agreement, the Philadelphia Dental College was taken over by Temple University, the latter institution acquiring possession of the ground, buildings, equipment, and good will of the former and taking entire charge of its management. The Temple University Dental School is a member of the American Association of Dental Schools, and conforms to all the requirements of this organization. Its diploma is recognized by the National Associ­ ation of Dental Examiners and the National Board of Dental Examiners.

YOUTHFUL YOMMO TURNS FASCIST Wild rumors which divulge "Youthful Yommo" is a Fascist were proven today when the "Phoney Molars" crack editors trapped "Youthful Yommo" stiff arming his patients in the chair. Methodically, we have gathered a mountain of evidence that confirms his guilt. As this article goes to press, "Yodeling Yommo" can be located out of clinic acres drinking up all the German beer in Philadelphia county. Dr. Walter reports that Yommo's gold foiling will undermine the U. S. gold reserve. Reliable sources tell, us that "Yearning Yommo" is seeking newer and more mysterious secret formulas. Operative men go so far as to point an accusing finger in their report that "Yokum Yommo" favors the toothless type of patient where operative procedure is contraindicated (naturally). Our agent, Axial Wall, asserts that Yommo's palatial abode, consisting of one entire room, is loaded with black shirts. When questioned, Yommo answered, "But of course, they are to be the operative gowns of the future!" 1

Remember When.... Martin Siegel, addressing the Kolmer Society, began his paper with: "Dr. Kolmer, Mr. President, and members of James Society. Wiener, Weintraub, Rubin and Matthews were really the "Fat Boys" of the class. Glickstein broke and rebroke his arm for the umpteenth time. Rosen, Rosenberg, Schwartz and Goldstick donned their uniforms to help the soldiers celebrate V-J night at the Bellevue-Stratford. Steier broke Joe's pocketbook treating Sullivan to dinner at Rosenberg's Restaurant. Jerry said: "Mones, as in Jones." Bruni was commander of the company. We had a lull in Dr. Kern's lecture. Bob Bowman took a sudden interest in Pedo—after April 16th. Eddie Arroyo said to Dr. Walter: "But Doctor, How I can do inlay when I no got patients." Lou Loscalzo got a haircut. The boys got hold of Dr. Essig's punch. Dr. Doyle remained on the clinic floor an entire afternoon (we don't). Dr. Cameron assisted Frank Sammartino at the Pennsylvania Hospital Clinic. Lavinia used to have a chair reserved for Roger Reiff every day. Dean Timmons handpicked the present senior class. The Dixie-cup machine broke down during an Anatomy session and we all had free ice cream. Frank Felice called the lung the auricle of the heart. The rat ran through Dr. Faggart's lecture hall and Phil Mogil screamed. Dr. Timmons caught us playing "21" and we all hoped he would have a nice vacation. Grisbaum and Hedges were here. A prophy was a prophy and not a periodontia case. The Major spoke to us as civilians. The Major spoke to us as G.l.'s one week later. The dies were stolen. The alley kids almost beat up the Major's brat. We were favored with Bruce Erickson and Frank Simone. An independent candidate tried to win a class election. We were all buying Miss Gibson candy in our Junior Year. Jimmy Biondo came to class on time. We made our first entrance into Anatomy Lab. We had our first lecture with Dr. Shacterle. We used to run for first row seats in Dr. MacFarland's lectures. We used to scramble for the 4.40 seats at exam time at Broad and Montgomery. We all bought tropical worsted officer's uniforms only to be told that we couldn't wear them. Irv Diamond wasn't combing his hair (are you kidding!). Charlie Hare had a patient in his Junior Year. We heard that John Grimaldi was the first father of the class. Dr. James announced the appointments to the James Society. We took the X-ray examination with Dr. Casto. Dr. Subin said that he could always be found on the clinic floor. Dr. Matthews needed cigarettes during the shortage and we needed patients —it was a fair exchange. He's A Ringer For...

Between 12 and 1

Among the shouts of kibitzers In the smoke-filled room, A group of Seniors sit around A table filled with gloom.

Each time one played a card His eyes were sharp and keen; His hands would shake bit. What would a false move mean?

A smile shone on my partner's face As the card hit with a thump. But it was changed into a smirk When I was forced to trump.

It's getting late and time to go A nervous player said. r&* ftp ^M¥^-- Just five more minutes left to play; And watched the next card led.

"I'm sorry, fellows, that's all for me," When his name came over the speaker; "I'd like to stay a little longer But my patient is my seeker."

As off to the clinic floor he heads, "Come back," shout the losing pair. But he pays no heed to all their caills Of one game to make it square.

In the early days of years ago He would have been a sinner. But since he's soon to graduate, All he missed—was dinner. Mother Goose

Little boy Subin Along came Dr. Walter, Come plug our canal, And made of naught my toil. We can't do it Walter, Walter, I've been thinking, So you show us how. What a fine world this would be Humpty Dumpty flare your wall, If all gold foil was transported, Humpty Dumpty get on the ball Far away from you and me. Or all the instructors including Hess "Reds" had a little stand, Will help you make a terrible mess. Its name was "Ptomaine Junction." A Dillar, a Dollar, a ten o'clock And every time you ate your meal Scholar Your bowels began to function. Biondo came too soon. Hi diddle diddle, the kids in the The whole class gasped to see such a middle sight, Down in the Pedo room. For he usually comes at noon.

Counting out the gold, The clinic had a little lamb, Calely in the casting room, His soul was white as snow, Casting inlays cold. And everything that Bucky said Sing a song of gold points, Dr. Craig would want to know. Class three's full of foil, To Plug, or Not to Plug

To plug or not to plug: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The blows and pounding of outrageous plugging, Or to mix an alloy and end your troubles, And by mixing-end them. To plug: to pound; No more; and by amalgam fillings say we end The toothache, and the thousand natural shocks The tooth is heir to. 'Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To mix, to triturate; To insert? Perchance recurrent decay! aye, there's the rub; For in that amalgam of depth what edges are exposed, When we have polished off this silver gem, We must give pause: there's the respect That makes a silver filling last; For what could bear the whips and scorns of chewing, Of traumatic occlusion, or cracking nuts, The insolence of bacteria, that all the teeth must take, When eating mashed potatoes— Amalgam—foil, what difference does it make? DILEMMA

I used to speak in accents clear, And diction I knew well; They said I came from Harvard, My speech was rather swell. But now I'm gray, my muscles balk, And furthermore—I cannot talk! My diction? No! It isn't weak, Just when I talk, my dentures squeak. If I am speaking to my friends, Or smile a bit too broadly, The uppers drop— The lowers rise, My comrades look with marked surprise.

When seated in my favorite club I eat my dinner slow, (My teeth are really not my own, I don't want friends to know.) 'Twas when they cheered, and called on me To give the banquet speech, I rose and slyly wiped my face, (I really pushed them into place.) I prayed—but God had failed to hear, And as I tried to speak, The uppers with a thunder dropped And clattered 'cross the table top. The lowers with their partners fell, My facial muscles sagged like, Oh, well! My friends no longer look to me For after dinner speeches, 'cause My teeth, they simply cannot move In conjunction with my jaws.

And furthermore, I'd like to say I don't know what's the matter; For in the summer's boiling heat, My teeth begin to chatter. Alas, the years have passed, I've.'finally found the trouble: Where the uppers should have been, The lowers I had borne; And on the lower ridge, The uppers I had worn. First Epistle to the Juniors

Lo, all ye miserable Juniors, entering through the gate of the Clinic and into the land of the Rubber Dam, harken unto my words, for I have dwelt in this land for many months and mine eyes have witnessed all manner of folly and woe. Verily have I fasted the bitter fruit of Demerits and drained the dregs of the Compound Pot. Gird up thy loins, O my son, and take up the handpiece, but act slowly and with exceeding care, and harken first to the counsel of a wiser and sadder man than thou.- Beware thou the Doctor who is called Instructor; he hath a pleased and smiling look, but he concealeth a serpent in his heart. Avoid him when he speaketh low and his lips smileth; he smileth not for thee; his heart rejoiceth at the sight of thy youth and thine ignorance. But when he moveth with great haste and sweat standeth upon Iris brow, make thyself scarce; for he will fall like the whirlwind upon the idle, and the Goldbrick shall realize his demerits. He will smile and work all manner of evil against thee. A wise man shuns Red's stand, but the fool shall dwell in the Clinic forever. Unto all things there is a time; there is a time to speak and a time to be silent. Be thou like unto stone in the presence of thy instructors; and keep thy tongue still when they shall question thee of previous separation. The wise man seekefh out buccal pits, but only the fool treats Vincent's. Look thou with disfavor upon the newly made instructor. He priz'eth much his gown and is proud and foolish. He laugheth and joketh much with the older instructors and looketh upon the student with deep disfavor. The sound of his punch maketh pleasing music to his ears, and he forgetteth when he was but a student as thou. Knoweth that the keeper of the Amalgam is a woman of many moods; when she looketh pleased and her words are as honey, the wise Junior seeketh her out, praiseth her appearance, and laugheth much at her jests. The keeper of the pink cards is a languid woman; but she is the keeper of many good things; if thou wouldst not wait in line and wouldst have a chair, then verily I say unto you, "Make her thy friend." Hell hath no fury like an instructor scorned. He wdlketh with a swagger and regardeth the student with a raised eyebrow; he looketh upon his degree with exceeding pleasure and loveth the salutation: "Doctor." Call ye him not "Doc" for it maketh his blood to boil; yea, he becometh as a demon and fire and smoke poureth from his nostrils. Damned be he who finisheth first in technique and increaseth the requirements «4. and cincheth the grades. He is thrice cursed and all people, even unto the Freshmen, will revile at him and spit upon him; for his name is "Scooter," and he is an abomination. Know thou the Big Operator, but trust him not: he worketh always upon a deal and he speaketh confidentially. He knoweth many women and goeth into town every night; he borroweth all thy money; yea, even unto thy rent check. He promiseth to fix you up, but doth it not. Beware thou the old man. He will make thee sweat. When he approacheth be thou on the ball; for he loveth to chew upon thy posterior. Keep thou out of his sight and let him not know thy name; for t/he name of him who arouseth the Old Man shall be sent to him who is called Dean. GUESS WHO? GUESS WHO?

THE DENTAL STUDENT'S ATTITUDE In summer I'm disposed to shirk, As summer is no time to work. In winter inspiration dies, For lack of outdoor exercise. In spring I'm seldom in the mood, Because of vernal lassitude. The fall remains. But what a fall! We've really had no fall at all.

168 PRECISION IS IMPORTANT!

Don't believe for even a minute that just any general labora­ tory can satisfy the needs of your porcelain and Acrylic cases. For no other field DEMANDS higher specialization than Acrylic and porcelain jackets, inlays, and bridges.

Anyone can make a plastic jacket ... or even a porcelain crown . . . but it takes years of experience to shade one prop­ erly and to carve one that is anatomically correct.

With thousands of successful and satisfied cases in our past history, we feel qualified to offer you and your patient the up-to-the-minute technique demanded by you and supplied by our laboratory.

We look forward to the opportunity of serving YOU.
