DR. SIMEON HAYDEN GUILFORD
As an expression of appreciation to a man, now deceased, who has done much
to spread the scholastic fame of this college, we, the members of the Class of 1940,
dedicate this record of our years at Temple to Dr. Simeon Hayden Guilford
ecacauon ti • m
Simeon Hayden Guilford, son of Simeon Guilford, was born in Lebanon, Penn'
sylvania, on April 11, 1841. His father, a celebrated engineer and iron manufacturer,
was one of the builders of the Erie Canal of New York and the Union Canal in
Pennsylvania. He became an iron master, one of the earliest in the county and built
iron furnaces in Schuylkill and Lebanon counties. He resided in Lebanon, Pennsyl'
vania, for nearly seventy years. Simeon Hayden came of good, substantial, intellectual
stock, and inherited our best traditions. His grandfather, Simeon Guilford, was an
ensign under Washington during the American Revolution. It was his privilege to
cross the Delaware with "the father of his country" and to be present at the execution
of Major Andre on October 2, 1780.
Simeon's education had not begun according to the concepts of Dr. Oliver
Wendell Holmes—"A hundred years before he was born." He received his preliminary
education in the public schools and Litis Academy of Lane County, Pennsylvania.
Later he was awarded the degree of Bachelor of Arts from Franklin and Marshall
College. The same institution granted him the degree of Master of Arts in 1864 and
the Ph.D. degree in 1886.
The scholar turned teacher in the year of 1861'2. When the War Between the
States broke out and he entered the Union Army as a private in Company "E"
127th Pennsylvania Volunteers, third brigade, second division in the second corps of
the Army of the Potomac. Soldier Guilford was actively engaged in the battles of
Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville and in May, 1863, he was mustered out of the
service. Simeon began the study of dentistry in the fall of 1863, entering the
Pennsylvania College of Dental Surgery from whence he graduated with the Class of
1865. His second degree, the honorary degree of D.D.S., was conferred upon him by
the Philadelphia Dental College in 1884 in recognition of his contribution to the
profession. After graduating from dental school he began practice in his home
town of Lebanon. Often when relating his experiences in Lebanon he would tell that
when his preceptor had any undesirable cases he would send them to Simeon. As a
result he determined to treat them in such a way as to obtain the best results possible.
In this way he gained invaluable experience and created a favorable reputation for
himself. His spare time was spent in reading good books, committing poems to
memory and in perfecting practicing methods.
At this time, 1868, the promising young dentist married Miss Virginia S. Gleim
and by this marriage there were two children, Elisabeth, who later became Mrs.
William Dalsell, of Pittsburgh, and Dudley, a graduate of the Philadelphia Dental.
College, a prominent dentist of this city, and guest lecturer of the school.
Dr. Guilford remained in Lebanon for seven years and then removed to Phila'
delphia where he started to practice in 1872. He joined the faculty of the Philadelphia
Dental College as a clinical instructor. This group consisted of such welLknown prac
titioners as J. Foster Flagg, C. Newlin Pierce, and Henry C. Register, all of
Philadelphia, and James McMannus, of Hartford, and C. E. Francis, of New York.
At this time the college was located just north of Tenth and Arch Sts., and many
members of the original faculty were still living. John Hugh McQuillen was then
dean. About 1881, the college was in need of a professor to take the place of Dr.
David D. Smith who had resigned. In looking about for a man to fill the vacancy it
was found that Dr. Guilford was a constant attendant at Dental Society meetings, a
fluent speaker on a variety of dental topics, and a writer for the dental journals. Being
held in high esteem he was elected to the chair of Operative and Prosthetic Dentistry,
which position he held from 1881 to 1918, establishing an enviable record of thir ty
seven years.
Dr. Guilford practiced in Paris, France, from January to August, 1880. Seven
years later he wrote a monograph on the subject of Nitrous Oxide, and in 1889
his work on Orthodontia was published. This reached and exhausted its fourth
edition. He also wrote the section on Orthodontia, Anomalies of the Teeth and
Maxillae and Hypercementosis for the American System of Dentistry, and the chapter
on cavities for the American Textbook of Operative Dentistry.
In 1895 occurred the death of Professor James E. Garretson, the noted oral
surgeon and dean of Philadelphia Dental College. Dr. Guilford was elected dean and
ably guided the destinies of the school from 1895 to 1906. At this time the college was
located on Cherry Street above Seventeenth and was affiliated with the Medico'
Chirurgical College. After the merger of the Philadelphia Dental College with
Temple University in 1907, Dr. Guilford served as dean from 1908 until 1918 when
owing to ill health he was forced to resign his office and chair and was made Dean
Emeritus. He made his name as a master craftsman in the dental arts, specialising in
Orthodontia.
After one year of war, the contending nations found great need of skillful dental
services owing to the fact that mobilisation did not permit exemption for dentists.
Dr. Guilford organised a dental unit and made a personal appeal for equipment and
supplies. The dental manufacturing houses responded liberally and on June 15, 1915,
the unit, with Simeon at its head, reached Bordeaux. From there they went to Paris
and then to the dental department in the high school building at Neuilly where under
the supervision of the American Hospital at Paris and the leadership of Drs. George
B. Hayes and W. S. Davenport, this unit worked faithfully for three months. After
their return, a complimentary dinner and reception was given in their honor. Dr.
George B. Hayes, Chief Dental Surgeon of the American Hospital in Paris, said of
Dr. Guilford in a letter to Dr. Russell H. Conwell, "He was an example of regularity
and conscientiousness, always ready to do the less glorious, but no less important and
tiresome work of regular Dentistry."
Honors almost innumerable had been bestowed upon Dr. Guilford. On the
occasion of his fiftieth anniversary of his practice of dentistry he was tendered a
joint banquet with Dr. Erwin T. Darby, of Philadelphia, who had also reached this
milestone. At this time the most distinguished members of the profession in the
country attended, desiring to do honor to their fellow practitioner.
He served as president of the National Association of Dental Faculties, Pennsyh
vania State Dental Society, The Odontological Society of Philadelphia, The Academy
of Stomotology, and National Institute of Dental Pedagogics; past vice'president of the
National Dental Association. Besides this he was an active member in various dental
organisations. He was an honorary member of the First District Dental Society of
New York, and of the State Dental Society of New York, a "Fellow" of the American
Academy of Dental Science of Massachusetts, and an honorary member of the Ameri'
can Dental Society of Europe. He frequently went abroad to represent the college
at International Dental Congresses at considerable expense. On these trips, our alumni
abroad honored him with testimonial banquets. Thus he did much to keep alive the
reputation of the college and the interest of the alumni. Such honors as he received
do not come without the sacrifice of one's self and Dr. Guilford's indefatigable seal
and labor was the price he paid for the great recognition and respect he gained from
his conferees.
He had an insatiable capacity for work. His labors were adjusted and in spite of
the time occupied by his office, dental societies and social requirements he still found
time to apply himself to the study of the French language, a field in which he became
interested while practicing in Paris.
Dr. Guilford lived a long and happy life and attained most of the high aims for
which he strived, and until age weakened him, disease was almost a stranger. Though
he was not well in his last few years, he did not suffer much and retained acute
mental faculties to the end. This record of achievement, of one so great as Dr. Guih
ford's seldom falls to the lot of any one man and for this reason it is fitting that the
class of 1940 should dedicate its year book to one who has contributed so much to
the advancement of the Philadelphia Dental College, and to the profession of dentistry
as a whole.
HAROLD L. FAGGART.
IN APPRECIATION
The Class of 1940 extends their gratitude
to you in behalf of your outstanding
accomplishments in the field of education
and in due respect to the help that you
have afforded to the advancement of
dental education.

m e s s R G E F R o m T H E D E A n
It is with a feeling of genuine pleasure that I comply with your request to
contribute a few lines to be included in your Book of Memories. First, I offer my
most hearty congratulations and express the hope that your professional life will be
one of successful satisfaction.
To achieve this, you should fully appreciate the significance of the term "com'
mencement" as applied to the closing days of a college career. You should appreciate
the fact that six years devoted to pre-professional and professional training has
merely laid the foundation upon which your future success depends. You should not
encourage the thought after having received the coveted degree of Doctor of Dental
Surgery that your professional training is completed and that the future is secure.
To ensure this, you should not cease to be a student.
Modern Dentistry as it is and as it promises to be, affords to properly qualified
and ambitious graduates every opportunity for professional growth and advancement.
Also, it affords, as few professions do, the opportunity to satisfy the creative instinct
which, in the last analysis, probably, is the greatest of human ambitions.
You will find, in the practice of dentistry, a full expression for your faculties and
you can look forward to a cultural, as well as a professional development.
From the material standpoint, the present'day dental graduate, if well qualified
and progressive, may be assured of an adequate living, which is especially true if he is
willing to leave the crowded city and locate in a less thickly populated community. In
the large cities, except in the outlying districts, competition is keener and while, in
general, "competition is the life of trade" this applies more aptly to commercial rather
than to professional life. In Dentistry, as in other professions, there is always room at
the top and having reached this point, there are opportunities for specialisation which
are both financially rewarding and professionally satisfying.
May the future have the best in store for each one of you.
l l
TO THE CLASS OF 1940
For four years you have strived to attain the goal which this year has culminated
in the realisation of your dreams. These years have been exacting in many respects,
but the reward which comes to you on this occasion has been fully earned, and it goes
without saying that your faculty is justly proud to have you numbered among its
ranks of professional men and women, and we hope that you will carry the banner of
your Alma Mater, by becoming active Alumni in the growth of Temple University
Dental School. Always remember that year by year changes will be effected to main'
tain the highest standards in education that you will be proud, as you are now, to
say that, "I am a Temple graduate."
These four years have been stepping stones to a splendid professional career, and
you are to be congratulated on the profession you have chosen.
It is truly said that our knowledge of the sciences is inversely as our direct
interest in them. Whatever you have learned is the foundation upon which to build
additional knowledge by association with your fellow men.
When the ordinary uneducated man speaks his thoughts in simple, straightforward
language, perfectly intelligible to his companions, whose minds are as healthy and act
as naturally as his own, he is not forced into a straight jacket of technicalities. You
who are educated and lettered have earned the right in your profession to practice a
very important branch of the healing art and to be a credit to your respective
communities.
To have been your adviser during the past two years has been an honor I deeply
appreciate and my wish at this time, since you end your student days, and become men
in the Practice of Dentistry is to offer you the hand of friendship and wish you all
the success in the world. You have earned it for the many sacrifices made both by you
and your parents.
May God bless your future.

AND PERIODONTIA
Research work in dentistry is going on steadily. The periodontia department,
headed by Dr. Frederic James, has delved into many problems of oral disease. The
illustration below is an exhibition of the department's work, and it has been featured
at the A. D. A. convention in Milwaukee, and at the convention in Baltimore.
The exhibit displayed consists of a series of photographs taken before and after
treatment of diseased conditions of the soft structure of the mouth. Research was
begun in September, 1939, in the Henry Isaiah Dorr Research Laboratory, of Temple
University School of Dentistry; for the purpose of determining the value of a new
type of therapy in the treatment of periodontal disease. Each case was subjected to
a thorough clinical X'ray and laboratory examination. Models were also made for
study purposes. Over a period of ten months, some 200 cases were systematically
treated, and results recorded, a few of which are shown in this exhibit. Through
student and professional cooperation this type of treatment, as an adjunct to further
procedures, was conducted primarily to reduce infection which might arise from filthy
conditions seen in the mouths of our patients. The results have been most gratifying
and should be a lesson in the necessary step in preventive dentistry. Research work
is still proceeding to control cases by subjecting them to other forms of treatment
on a comparative basis, thereby helping to advance mouth therapy by simple, yet
effective, measures to control diseased processes.

"IN MEMORIAM"
During our four-year stay, the greatest losses to the Dental School, as well as
a personal loss to every man in the class, were the deaths of:
DR. ADDINELL HEWSON
DR. FRANK ABBOTT
DR. LEON RYAN
DR. C BARTON ADDIE, JR.
DR. LEVI POWNALL
We shall miss these men, for they were friends of the students and by their
gentle bearing and kind courteous manner won the love and esteem of them all.
W e as undergraduates in going through our vast accumulation of memories
during the last few days, have more than once paused to think back. A recollection
of by-gone days recalls to us many pleasant hours of association with these men
of exceptional personality; brilliant and entertaining. Those who long ago won our
deepest respect and admiration.
They always endeavored to brighten the perpetual grind of a weary student,
this seemed to be their one great aim. It is through the untiring efforts of just such
men, that we are able to correctly mould our thoughts, develop our fancies and
stimulate our ambitions. When thrown upon our own resources, we find that our
progress has already been pointed toward success by our former associations. In
the memory of each and every graduate there will forever linger thoughts of these
men.
Let us add that it must have been just such men as these, that Shakespeare had
in mind when he wrote:
"His life was gentle, and the elements
So mixed in him, that nature might stand up
And say to all the world 'this was a man\"

Handsome, healthy, handy Andy—a Casanova if ever there was one. Light in heart and heavy in pocket, "Andy" made his four-year stay in Philadelphia most enjoyable. He combined school and entertainment and seemed to mix them well. Always busily preoccupied with a bevy of beautiful women as patients, our boy was class leader in Operative points as well as in name. Andy had a job completing his operations while inquisitive instructors peered at the "works' of nature" he had sitting in his chair.

As Editor-in-Chief of this Book, you were supposed to be the most unappreciated martyr in existence. You've endured sleepless nights and endless worries, yet you don't look a bit the worse for it. This book is a record of your spirit and good fellowship. Your classmates are gratified with your work, keeping your staff working harmoniously and with such splendid results. "Biker" was always one jump ahead—of someone's finger. Herb's patients will always be sure of one form of antiseptic or other regardless of the name or size of the bottle.

Len is this chap's nickname as far as we know, although it should be "Jitterbug" because Leonard is quite the hoofer.
We are proud of this Jersey native because he gave up a brilliant career slinging pickles around a delicatessen just to study Dentistry. Magnolia anxiously awaits his graduation so that they may receive the wonderful dental care that Harley is so capable of rendering. When you go out of the portals of this dental school just remember—keep up the good work.

This talkative fellow was labeled "Chief" after the great ball player, and rightly so because Henry is a ball player supreme.
Dentistry will soon have you and we hope that your patients are as numerous as the votes you received that elected you banquet organizer for the school societies. W e hope your flight to the top is as fast as the effect of "The Essig Society Fleet Street"—Remember! Good luck. Chief.

This pipe-smoking Sherlock hails from New York, the fair grounds of the world. Morty was an ideal pupil, a young sprightly and inquisitive one, too. Nothing seemed to escape his ultimate concern for things dental.
Socially, he was an active member of the commuters' club which excursioned weekly to New York. As a camera genius, he contributed many findings to better Temple's newest organization—the photography club.

To Lenny goes the honor of being the first student to use the pneumatic plugger at T. D. school. He loves to argue and invariably wins because of .his exceptional control of the English vocabulary. Lenny lost none of his jovial expression when he rid himself of forty pounds of avoirdupois in his senior year. A devil with the women, his frat brothers cried "wolf" when he came around. It was always pleasant to be within hearing of his bombastic and catching laugh.

Hersh was a supreme politician and as president of our Freshman Class, he lead the group through our most difficult year. Talented as a writer, his early poems must forever remain unpublished. Dr. Casto had an efficient worker in Hersh as chief assistant in the Pedo Clinic. Everyone knew him as a jovial, genial chap with loads and loads of personality. This walking totem pole precipitated a cry of "timber" when he bent down to tie a shoe lace.

"Al" proved to all that a kind heart coupled with brains did exist in one man. He has both assets and with them we expect him to be an asset to dentistry.
When a fellow found .his studies a little too much for himself, he inevitably found himself drawn to "Al ," for when "Al" sat down he covered a lot of ground, both theoretically and physically.

"Milty," the little man with a million worries, never attained his full height because he was frightened by a dental engine when he was a baby.

John will always be remembered for his calmness. He in all probability will be the largest dentist in Penna. John's robust build is so outstanding that his patients cannot possibly miss him.
John worked hard in his four years stay at dental school. Although not being a fast moving man nevertheless he has proven himself capable of mastering any situation.

Good old Les—the one man with a car willing to drive you any place, and at any time. Les and his car have been inseparable pals, but on three occasions strange people shanghaied it from in front of his Green Street residence. Yes, they were trying days!
Les is another of those characters who appear to be half asleep before noon, but don't let that fool you. The grasp of Morpheus does not completely mantle a well-geared mental apparatus and an infectious wit. His patients will appreciate this.

Will we ever forget "Nocky" when we look back on our school days? A truly simple, honest, good natured, good hearted fellow. In scholastics he knew it "cold." Big in body, we feared his gentle pat on the shoulder or welcome handshake. He slung a mean cadaver as a frosh when we called him "Butch." But we know he's gentle with his patients and his rosy cheeks will always stand him in good stead.

CLASS HISTORY
It's a wonderful thing to be able to look back at the past and recall what happened. What happened? I am not really sure. I applied, they sent for me, so I came. They took a look at me and they saw. I don't know what they saw. Perhaps a spark of what might make a future dentist. So they took me in under their wing and tried to kindle a fire. They rubbed me this way and that, they added paper in the form of books and lecture notes; many, many times I burned up, but today I have conquered. No visible signs of any bruises. Just a few minute ulcers in my stomach, the loss of some favorite hairs in the region of my forehead, I jump sharply when I hear a sudden noise, and my vis' cera has followed all the courses nature p r e vided for such matter upon lifting heavy objects.
All I wanted to do was to be a dentist. So what happened? At my interview with Dean Broomell during the summer of 1936, he in' sisted upon my answering the question, "Can you draw-?" I couldn't then, but I can now.
My ambition was finally realized when, a few months later, I received a letter informing me I was accepted in Temple Dental School. Now that I was in, I was to find it was to be much more difficult to stay in. The first year, although the roster was filled with subjects like Anatomy, Physiology, Osteology, Histology, Tooth Morphology, Operative Dentistry, Dental Terminology, Prosthetics, Chemistry and Dental Embryology, I found I was taking an extensive course in "Worrying and Rumor.11
I found "the little red school house" between 18th and 19th on Buttonwood Street. Upon request I was given a list of "accepted" houses and I started a search for a room. It was very warm in the middle of that September, and the more I looked, the more I wondered who had accepted the houses. I finally met another student. We decided to be room mates. We got an "apartment" together. A room with an ad' joining cobweb. He told me how good he was. I told him how good I was. We slept together. I smoked his cigarettes, ate his candy and the canned foods that he brought from home and together we lived royally for an entire week. I
attended my first major league ball game. Believe it or not, I saw the Philadelphia Nationals beat the Giants in a double-header, when the New York club needed both ends of the twin bill to win the pennant. And on Friday night, I saw a glorious Temple Football team romp away easily with a victory over St. Joe's. Boy, that was something to write home about. My undergraduate school had been the victim of larger schools, but now my $70.00 University fee was going to entitle me to attend games where the side I was cheering for was to win. And Pop Warner was the coach. I also saw my first burlesque in the City of Brotherly Love. Yes, Sir, I was going to like Philadelphia. I don't recall exactly, but I think at that early date 1% Grower was sitting at my left in that wonderful theatre.
But what of school? It was slowly catching up with me. A. visit to a supply house. The upper classmen selected one for me to spend my money in. Boy, am I popular! Those fellows in the supply house surely give you a nice hello. "Hy, fellas." And in those days they extended credit. They loaded me up with a box. I fought hard to get in Bell's section, but ended up with Grisbaum. I got my instruments checked off and they told me to copy the list of seven pages of typewritten notes from the wall. I typed up seven copies for fellows I met and soon was feeling like a wreck. But that wasn't going to phase me. Dentures, curve of spee, median, distal, millimeters, mixing of plaster; why I'd be good at those, especially the latter. My father is a painter, and I must have inherited some ability to mix plaster and work with my hands. Ah, kid stuff. But it's got me worried a little.
Let me see that roster. Histology scheduled. Yes, gentlemen, those seventy-one steps. Will I ever forget them? It's a good thing that I didn't know the signs and symptoms then of cardiac failure, because I was really puffing when I reached the top. And they placed a microscope before me. It was to see the smaller things of life, I presume. It was after this lecture that I first recall Ed. Pokras. He came to my room to look at my Physics book so he
83
could better understand the physical forces, distances and magnifications of the microscope. W e expected that to be a sure question on the exam he would give. Who would give? Dr. Else. I think we started on Mitosis that very first day, and we ended up with it on the last.
The next morning I rushed to a nine o'clock class more asleep than awake, as I was destined to do many future mornings. Dr. Herman took roll, and I still hadn't eaten breakfast. Well, this sounds interesting. It's about teeth. Oh, yes. This is dental school. They should talk about teeth. Gee, it's intriguing. He surely covers a lot of ground fast. Well, I'll study this tonight and catch up.
A little later I went to the Operative lab and met my instructor. They gave me Dr. Miller. I didn't even know he existed. But as my tooth sections were habitually being rejected, I became very much aware of his presence. Ah, well, I never was good at this sort of thing. It's for kids. Just wait until I start filling teeth.
I didn't have much of a lunch hour that day. I had to see Dr. Abbot. He was a kind soul. Kidded around, read us a couple of regulations, let us know about Dr. Hewson, and dismissed us early. The whole gang of us went out to "Red's" stand. I had my two corn beef sandwiches and a Pepsi-Cola. That was the beginning of the formation of the strong lining I have today in my stomach. Gee, I was excited. Was going to see "stiffs" that afternoon.
I don't know what prompted me to eat lunch that afternoon. Someone should have tipped me off. I didn't lose it, but I ate it twice. The smell wasn't like roses, and the sight didn't appear like a lineup at a football game. They were laid out there and cold, but they were wrapped up to keep them warm, I suppose. And there were five others assigned to work on the same body. One of them was Edna Hoffman, the only girl in the class. My, how provoking. We had to cut that thing up together. I don't want to be a butcher. I want to be a dentist.
Soon I was crowded into lower amphitheatre "A," listening to another lecture. There were two hundred and fifty empty seats in the back of the room, but according to regulations, we had to be cramped together in front. Just to facilitate the taking of the roll. And what about those well-ventilated amphitheatres far
away from the noise of the street? I recall the bulletin spoke of them. Surely is hot, and that factory back there riveting away. But the little man down there speaks on and on . . . Dr. Ryan . . . over and over again, "ethane, methane, procane, Elaine" . . . burning hair, burning feathers, burning wool . . . cat is to cat as dog is to dog . . . why it's as easy as rolling off a log . . . you can hitch any old mule to a laboratory desk and make him stay there. We didn't have him very long, but we remember him well . . . pushing the table around and turning to write on the board.
From one into another . . . "the old man" . . . and he was a man . . . the greatest I ever knew . . . proud in stature . . . carried himself so well for his age . . . spoke so clearly . . . a marvelous actor . . . and he threw the fear of God into us . . . He spoke to us and we listened attentively . . . many of us tried to slink behind the fellow in front of us to catch a wink . . . it was always infernally hot . . . and when he put the lights out to show us slides, it was good night, ladies . . . after the day we'd been through.
And so our lectures went on, day in and day out. They didn't stop . . . we worried . . . we heard rumors about surprise quizes . . . we crammed . . . and some of those books . . . I'll never forget the first time I studied Anatomy and tried to make something out of Piersol . . . "from before backward, from the external angle, backward, outward, downward, forward, and inward, cristi galli, galli curci, winepress, sin-suses, articulations, triangles of the neck, the great open spaces." No wonder we couldn't sleep. And who could eat?
Then they threw those drawings in . . . the Osteology drawings, I mean . . . muscles, origins, insertions, red crayon, blue, how did we ever do it?
There was no let up. A Dr. Scott gave us straight stuff. He lectured physiology from his notes and told us to buy a text book—Howell . . . that was just to mix us up . . . so we decided not to do any research but answer him exactly with the material he lectured to us.
The year progressed . . . remember our first Chem exam? Who wrote my exam? . . . The upper classmen spoke about it, but I never believed it . . . and there was the great block, while the passing went on behind the line. I never knew what happened, but it surely was funny.
And after we had knocked ourselves out studying for a terrific anatomy exam, he asked us how many bones were in the body, in the face, in the head, etc. There was one tough question—Select the muscles that you are working on in dissection. I believe I said the Gluteus Maximus has its origin in the sternum and was inserted in the humerus . . . after all . . . I was working on the upper extremity and, furthermore, I liked the sound of that muscle. Then we waited for the "All-American." They flunked one of us because they couldn't read the handwriting, but they were able to read his name to flunk him. W e got used to it all after a while. W e learned some tricks. W e got out of dissection, had the seniors take us out to take our X-rays, do pathology and our Operative work. W e didn't know better.
But live and learn. The fraternities rushed us prior to Thanksgiving. There was to be no frat for me. But they clipped me, and I'm not sorry now . . . got a lot of brother rats . . . before I stood alone . . . people to borrow from, but they always borrowed more from me . . . I haven't even got a spatula left to do my State board set-up with. I think I'll have to get Gris-baum to sell it back to me.
W e had our good times, played ball in the upper dissection room before we actually got started . . . sex talks by Jo Jo . . . What Is Life? . . . and "The Life of a Flea."
W e had those Tooth Morph exams . . . orals . . . somebody always had the notebook open . . . really the co-operation our class gave each other . . . a swell bunch. Then there were the techniques we did . . . sawing, drawing, chiseling, carving, those soap chips, the rivalry we had for marks in Miller's section, the tooth brush handles and their designs, finally plugging gold . . . I don't know . . . I wouldn't want ever to go through it again.
It was the toughest year I ever experienced, but I'm glad it went fast. The all-Dent . . . really was a drunken brawl that year, haven't been the same lately, but maybe because then it was all so new to us. There were the house parties, formal dances, basketball games, initiation night, and then final exams. W e studied on the roof of the library in between the times we basked in the sun and were interrupted with strange female figures strolling around the place. W e had the slew of exams, and then we retired to our corners to await a heavy envelope . . .
It was reunion in September of 1937. It was some consolation to see I wasn't the only one for whom they were trying to make it tough. But we took our re-examinations in stride, pestered Miss Walton until we got our results and then we were Sophomores just like everyone else.
This year was to be a little more pleasant. Plenty of time to sleep, my section wasn't due in the labs until the second semester. No technology lab, although it was scheduled on the roster. Besides that, I saved money because I didn't eat breakfast. W e had a lot more of Dr. Schacterle than we did in the Freshman year. Two hours straight . . . that was really a session . . . and could he insult us! "Some of the guys who go to school today would have been left outside to die by the Romans." "A lot of you fellows think peaches grow in a basket." "He's just a little bit damp, if not all wet."
The "Old Man" treated us to something new in the form of his quarterly oral quizes—and, yes, the Ides of March . . . these stories have been retold many times, and each of us have had our own individual experience that will remain precious to us all our lives. Yes, all in all, we were treated as gentlemen and we will always be happy to say that we were amongst those he taught.
A memory of the Sophomore year—the balloon ascension, and it went right up in time during our final Chem exam. I believe Schacterle and Rowen enjoyed the soda and dogs.
The Operative lab was a matter of routine . . . typodont, cavity preparations and fillings, plenty of separation, removed the approximating tooth, used the indirect method of plugging . . . via the desk . . . and the work we did at the completion of the year on real teeth. The burr was in my finger more than in the cavity prepa' ration . . . I tempered my bur for metallurgy while working on these teeth.
The physiology and pharmacology labs . . . they were very revealing . . . graphs and laughs . . . frogs in pockets . . . smoked paper . . . who's got a good experiment? . . . we all used the same set-up . . . I don't remember anything I did. I only remember that I was there.
It didn't take me long to get disgusted with the Pharmacology. I just threw up my hands, there was no use. And when the final exams came around, I knew the answers to the ten questions, but that is all.
86
Bacteriology lab and Chem lab both have their memories. Many times I'd sucked too much up the pipette . . . and it's not seltzer.
At the end of the Sophomore year, we had the examination with the Dean. I blush when I think of it . . . I can still hear the rustle of the leaves as the spring season suddenly switched to a warm summer . . . switch . . . switch . . . will you ever forget?
The busiest part of my dental career will be recalled as that short space of time from January first to the middle of February and the end of April through the final exams of the Sophomore year. W e took our class picture for the year book. My, how we had all changed since the day we had entered. Wiser, more mature and the handsomest bunch of fellows ever assembled.
it was a glorious day when we visited Williams' to get measured for our white gowns. And, later, we purchased our Prosthetic cases from the seniors.
At last the day came for us to strut in the hall wearing the white gown. With the new gown came a new faculty, a new routine, everything different, and it took a long time before we were completely orientated. The clinic floor and prosthetic experiences are related elsewhere in this book. But it is the lecturers of the Junior year that we now recall to mind.
Dr. Casto . . . ye olde circus . . . my, how he kicked the desk around . . . papers flying. The marks we received for our recitations corresponded with the number of our seats. The blackboard demonstrations . . . the quizes . . . and then Dr. Addie's courses in Crown and Bridge and Orthodontia. Some time he came to class, and some time we came to class. Attendance was marvelous. We wrote our mail, read the Temple paper, always found something to do, and there were the grand races to get to the waiting list after that class . . . and then an afternoon or a morning with Dr. James, class adviser. He kept us busy with his two courses.
It took us a long time to get used to the sound of "Wound" and "Caries," but we were soon talking Dr. Rusca's way. We were always ahead of him upon the clinic floor. First we performed the operations, and later we received the lectures. Oh, how we hate to get up in the morning, and go to Cameron. But we did receive an excellent course. Too bad we can't all
get an interneship with him. W e were gratified that we didn't have to take notes with Dr. Kolmer. He traveled so fast. Dr. Schacterle, Dr. Scott and Dr. Lennon were just a build-up for this gentleman. And soon we developed "Kol-meritis." We developed all the symptoms every lecture. I expect to be a happier and a healthier man when I have graduated and am out of here. Dr. Haas gave us a quickie in Anesthesia. Seems peculiar that all the marks with James should range in the 90's and all the marks with Haas range in the 70's. Or was I a lone ranger?
A big surprise was the speech Mike Salerno gave at the Essig banquet. The banquet was a wonderful success in every aspect. The spirit was high and it was a grand tribute to a man who had been faithful to Dentistry for fifty years. Anyone who can be true to his profession for fifty years deserves a banquet.
This fellow, Ja2X Haskins, surely was the politician. He set the whole machine in order. That which was to do such grand work in behalf of the Junior and Senior class years. He himself did a fine job as President of the Junior Class, and then the all-Dent committee, the class day committee, and the officers of the senior class . . . all part of Haskin's planning . . . yes, now it can be told. Politics played its usual heavy role in our class, the same as in classes which preceded us. But we differed in that we always had fine officers who did a service which was appreciated by all. And once the elections were over, all fraternal animosities disappeared, until the next election, after which we would again bury the hatchet . . . in each other's back. W e were very fortunate in that respect.
The Senior year had many similar aspects. But our bearing was much different. Confident, we went about our work with less hesitation. Some of us didn't even hesitate and stop to put rubber dam on, much to our regret. W e thought braver thoughts, but not too loud.
W e had to get up in the middle of the night to go to Cameron's hospital. Halpern got very white the first session, but seems to have recovered. He's even got an interneship to do surgery. I remember that monday morning picture, and I speak of it for the benefit of some of the boys who never visited the Pennsylvania.
About 8:30, we opened our eyes sufficiently to see the handwriting on the wall . . . "refrain from smoking . . . and do not applaud." As
87
long as the latter restriction remains a universal one at all hospitals, it will be taken for granted that I will never make a good surgeon. I need appreciation, and if I can't get a little applause upon the removal of a difficult impaction, I just won't become a surgeon. It's the thespian in me.
Well, Baker, Ulrich, Cameron, Stetzer, Hink-son . . . anyone or several would stand washing themselves, scrubbing and scrubbing, never stopping, never tiring. It would seem they were trying to clean up after a mining expedition. They seemed clean enough when they came in. Or perhaps they are just trying to rub off the old skin and are endeavoring to get a new coat. Meanwhile attendants come in, some get the instrument table ready . . . here comes the man with the mop . . . looks to me like that fellow Oliver of movie fame. Then a light was brought in, the gas machine, nurses with masks on their faces, and finally the patient. They knocked him out before he was wheeled in. They probably figured one look at our faces at that unearthly hour would be too great a shock. Then they got in a huddle over the poor fellow, aspirator sucking away . . . then a little chiseling, some hammering . , . Dr. Cameron would mumble something in the manner of explanation of what he was doing and soon they passed a tooth around on a piece of gauze. No one knew what happened except the enchanted circle . . . but, really, it is the best that can be done under the present facilities.
W e rushed up to Kolmer's clinic at the Temple Hospital. Some of us went to the heart section, did a fast strip job, we observed who changed undershirts, and we put our shirts back on again. We did use the stethescope, but who knows what the sounds mean? . . . the sound of "beadies" is much more enchanting.
It was a shame at the high percentage of the cases Kolmer presented to us that he verbally buried. Very dramatic. But it left a bad taste in the mouth. They wheeled two in every week, gave us a case history and wheeled them out. It would have been so pleasant to see some who might have a favorable prognosis, but no, the shortcomings of medicine must glare us in the eyes.
Four P.M. and it was a sermon and a lecture from Dr. Rusca. W e must get our points . . .
who knew that better than us, but why don't they call off that pack upstairs? Tuesday morning it was Cameron again and some more note taking. Wednesday morning it was Casto and his great guest lecturers on Pedodontology . . . and a follow-up by Essig and then Addie.
It looked like a war division going over the top. It started with a full house early in the A.M. and then, as the day went on, the boys drifted upstairs and out of the room until the ranks were sadly depleted. Addie finally gave up, and some of us retired to the library.
We can't forget the duties that kept us from our work. They broke everything up, and I can't say we learned anything from any of them, except extraction. Impressions remain of our clinic work. Miss Smith . . . very sweet, a very educated girl, emotional and all of that, but very nice to talk to. Enjoyed diagnostic duty for that reason alone. Dr. Matthews, his 32 stains and his woolly stories; had to stay and listen. We had none to compete with him. The X-ray room . . . always forgetting to write the receipt number in the book; the many times we dropped our films in the tank and we went a fetchin'; and the times we dropped those papers on the floor, and the times we had to pick them up.
And passing on past the book store, can we ever forget the aggravation we had every time we spent our money there, buying typodont teeth that were cracked. If Hollywood ever casts again for "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town," I know where they can find the characters to depict the "pixillated twins."
The Senior year brought with it a great renovation in the form of the Klahr Clinic . . . and the appointment desk. Happy are the hours we spent in the children's clinic, with those little brats. We tried to be master of the situation, but more often they were. They move, they shake, they quiver like the jam you find on your Grandmother's Thanksgiving Day table. The way they closed their jaws, the way they bit your paws, the way they wet the gauze . . . no . . . no . . . they can't take that away from me . . . it really was beautiful working down there, everything up-to-date and modern, the pride of the Dental school.
Miss Benitz . . . neat and systematic. Surely had her hands full, keeping the records of our
88
appointments, and tracking us down via the loud-speaker system. Remember when Dr. Doyle was being paged frantically, but they seemed to have overlooked placing one speaker in a very essential place?
Up stairs, it was Miss Gillen . . . the fellows don't realize it, but they owe her a lot of thanks. Very even tempered, meticulous and the way she remembers numbers. She must have been born at a bingo party. We know for a fact that she is one girl who does her job well, we think she was grand.
Miss Gibson at the cage . . . ah . . . a memory . . . remember the "old man"? And do you remember Miss Gibson? I believe she is second to Dr. Halpern in years of service to the school. Those lovely hours spent waiting to get gold, to get X-rays, to get silicate, to get the ionizer. Funny how I always was around the cage at 3:30 when Hess was knocking on the gong. Funny how my fingers were almost smashed as the window was closed abruptly . . . . funny how I usually got waited on. . . . It's funny . . . now, but it wasn't then.
Miss Wolfe, a beautiful memory, surpasses Calely as the one who sits and thinks all day. How often I walked past the prosthetic department, and sauntered back so slowly. I had no place to go. I just wanted to look. After all, it's just like when you see a beautiful flower. You want to look at it, you want to smell it, and you want to pluck it.
And just a little further down the aisle and off to one side is the orthodontia clinic. The only time most of us were there was when we were assigned for duty. We turned out to be pot boys here. Imagine paying tuition to learn dentistry and being put to work to dust up those broken down chairs. We were very much impressed at the quiet that seemed to reign in that room. Everyone went about doing their own work, very instructive indeed. I learned early not to bend over to pick up anything or to tie a
shoe lace or I'd find myself at the end of Dr.
Velutini's flying towel. The extraction room is discussed close to the
end of our dissertation, but we will recall events very vividly. There was Miss Witkowsky with her even disposition , . . always miserable . . .' she sure had to hop around when Hinkson and Stetzer took over . . . those boys sure worked like charms. It was my tough luck that I coudn't be assigned when they were working, but I did go in and watch them when I was free. . . . The first extraction . . . a little infiltration, a little buccal-lingual and out it came . . -. just the crown. They expect to do big things with the surgery department. Maybe I'll take a post graduate course down here.
Plenty left to talk about. But I'm getting tired. There were the mock board days. The class one and the class five were taken right in stride. But the class two had us going for a while. It was the first time I had ever prepared and plugged a class two at the same sitting. It's funny what you can do under pressure. I hope I get through the State Board.
And remember the mock board Salerno gave us. One patient had so many impressions taken of his mouth that he looked like a plaster statue ready to be shipped to a museum. And where was Grower? He was taking his Class II. Funny how everything starts to pile up.
At the time of this writing, that is all that has gone on. That is, all I have strength to write about. I should be studying for a Pedo exam right now. Who knows what that holds in store for us. I wish I was writing about it in the past tense. I also wish I were writing about the approaching State Board examinations and the approaching final examinations and the final shindig of the year, the Class Day affair. We've come this far and it has been written down and printed, perhaps the editor of the book will leave a little space for you to fill in your own happy ending. Here's hoping you all remember one another as members of the class of 1940.

The "Gateway" has been issued, and the individual copies are scattered over a
great area—the homes of the members of the class of 1940. The staff expresses
its hopes that the "Gateway" will preserve for you a permanent picturisation of your
stay of four years here at Temple.
The entire staff worked tirelessly to produce an annual which would stand above
any of those previously published. The editor-in-chief, Herbert Baker, has kept the
staff working endlessly and energetically. James L. Triarsi, the business manager,
has established an advertising section record for these Temple annuals. Many of the
pictures filling these pages were caught through the lens of a camera controlled by
Louis Levin. The managing editor; Arthur D'Elia even departed from his regular
duties to draw a collection of cartoons that are really of a professional standing. As for
humor—you all know Saul Gladstone. The aid of the rest of the staff served as a
binding structure—and this annual is the product.
So, you see, we worked hard, and your appreciation is all that we seek.

To the Oral Hygiene Glass of 1940:
As you take leave of your college days and start out upon your
professional career, permit me to extend to you my sincere con
gratulations on having successfully carried to a conclusion this
preliminary period of training
The habits of study you have formed during your college days
are of extreme importance and should not be laid aside in the years
to come. For lectures and textbooks, substitute your patients and
their problems. Study and observe each individual with whom you
come in contact—each in his or her way will contribute to your
knowledge.
Read the literature of your profession. Not only attend your
Dental Hygiene Meetings, but work in them.
As the years go on, it is my sincere wish that success will attend
your every effort.
Sincerely
MARGARET A. BAILET
U 7
IN APPRECIATION
We, the Graduating Class of Oral Hygiene, wish to express our
sincere thanks to two most helpful friends, instructors, and counselors.
Without their guidance, untiring teachings, friendship and under
standing we never would have been able to achieve our first goal—
that of graduation, nor would we have a second or third to strive
for—a place in the world worthy of our profession. Miss Bailey and
Miss Heck, we salute you.

THE FIRST IMPRESSIOMS OF Ah O. H.
September 28, 1939
Dear Jean,
I just had to write to tell you about the girls
Fve met today who are going to be in my class.
The first impression I got when we were all to
gether was that we were just a bunch of kids.
But you know how first impressions are.
Well, when Yackie and I got here this morn
ing, we came to the O. H. (Oral Hygiene, to
you) building, which we stepped cautiously into
and found ourselves in a hall way. While we
were standing there wondering what to do next,
a woman, who we later found out was Mrs. Gay-
nor, told us that some of the girls were in a room
down the hall to the right. We thanked her and
entered the indicated room. Upon entering we
saw about six girls sitting in the first row (trying
to make an impression, I guess). Norma was
with them. As you probably know, she's living
at the dorms (the lucky stiff).
While I was talking to her, she introduced me
to the girls. A girl by the name of Kathryn Eis-
enberg struck me as being the quiet type. By the
way, she is engaged! Another girl alongside of
her, Kathleen Gallagher, looks as though she is
fresh from the country. But you can never tell.
While I was talking to Kathleen, a girl inter
rupted me and introduced herself as Louise De-
Gour.
The prettiest blonde found her way into the
room. Her name is Verna Mileski. She has a
real fair complexion and blue eyes. It's a shame
I wasn't born a blonde.
As I glanced over into the corner, I saw the
shyest looking girl. When I introduced myself,
I found out she was Kay Shirkey from Virginia.
I know you'd like her. Next to Kay was a gal
by the name of Ann Ragsdale, from Georgia.
Jean, you should have seen the hat she had on.
You'd have died laughing. I think she is going
to be the teacher's pet, because she knows Miss
Bailey, which is more than the rest of us do.
Looking around again I saw a dark-looking girl
entering. I knew right away she was from
Philadelphia. (Woman's intuition, I guess.)
Her name is Ethel Golubovsky.
Say, guess what! We have a married woman
in the class. It does seem funny. Her husband
is a dental student, and her name is Mrs. Martha
Moore. You know, when she first came in she
appeared to be scared to death. I thought she
had never been to school before, but I have found
out differently. Just then about six girls walked
in together. One of them was laughing at the
top of her voice. She proved to be Ruth Thomp
son. Ruth seems as though she'd be the life of
any party. Another girl, Meredith Waide, has
the funniest sense of humor. I think she is going
to be very nice.
Jacqueline Lyon has a sophisticated air about
her. The first thing she said when she walked
into the room was, "Beastly weather, isn't it?" A
dash of English, what? Sorry, Jean, I'll come
down to earth. Nan Stahlman was wearing the
cutest dress. If all her clothes are like that she'll
be all right. I've never seen anyone blush as
much as Mary Klees. Even when you're just
talking to her. I suppose she'll get over it when
she knows us better. I hope so, anyway. One of
the last girls to arrive was Arline Yates. She
seems to be the studious type.
P. S. There is another girl, Betty Kissinger,
coming in from Florida. I bet she has a wonder
ful tan. There was also some mention made about
a Carolyn Moore.
After all, Jean, these are only first impressions
and it's always a woman's privilege to change her
mind. Well, I'll sign off now.
Love,
R U T H

THE DIARY OF Ah O. ft
September 27, 1939 Arrived at the O. H. building at 9:45 to find
19 other girls waiting patiently for something to happen. Misses Bailey and Heck made their appearance: passed out book lists and instrument lists. Boy, it certainly will cost a small fortune to get the necessary things. Miss Bailey told us many do's and don'ts, on being not able to wear nail polish or lipstick. This certainly brought the "oh's" from the entire class. A girl doesn't have much of a chance without lipstick. September 29
Had first class, Histology. Everyone seems to be out of practice as far as note taking is concerned. Thought I was made of just plain skin, but evidently not. W e were measured for our blue smocks, which are bound to be cute numbers. October 2
Started Manikin. Used our first instrument, the porte polisher. Polished two teeth for two hours. Had to go to the Anatomy department for a heavy green box of bones which smell very strong. October 11
Received our gorgeous blue smocks. They nearly come down to our ankles, but I guess "nearums" don't count in this school. W e had to wear our gowns at Convocation with the entire dental school there. My, we sure did feel like crawling in a hole. October 12
Went for a pin fitting for our white uniforms. From all indications they will be a lot nicer than our smocks. October 17
The first class meeting was held. Officers of the class were appointed by Dean Broomell. At our meeting the usual discussion of class dues came up. October 23
We were given a different set of false teeth to work on. These are pearly white compared to the old teeth. One can tell that these are at least teeth. October 27
Miss Bailey gave us a test in Tooth Morphology. This was the first test of the year. Everyone was quite worked up and excited. W e were told that if we flunked this one we shouldn't jump into the river (any one) because we will
have many more chances to make it up in the following tests. Nice!!!! October 30
Started scaling on the "old" teeth today. W e seemed to be so clumsy handling the sharp-pointed instruments. Gee, it's hard. November 6
The final in Histology! Many of the girls looked haggard and worn out because they burned the "midnight oil" too late. November 14
The Histology marks came through. W e went individually into Miss Bailey's office to hear the verdict. Perhaps I should say sentence. November 15
Had a new course introduced to us today. It's strange. It's called General Pathology. All of us will probably think we have every disease possible by the time we are through this course. November 23
Thanksgiving vacation—what a relief! W e were getting on our instructors' nerves and they on ours. November 27
After a much-needed vacation, started back to school. Was glad to see everyone. December 2
Once a year and once a lifetime there comes a big day in every girl's life and this is the day. The Army and Navy game. Betty Kissinger, Mary Klees, Jacqueline Lyon, Nan Stahlman, and Ruth Thompson went to the game with cadets. Lucky girls! December 4
Our "love sick" girls survived the game. Oh, my, just for one cadet. December 13
This thing of keeping a diary while at school isn't what it is cracked up to be. I can't put everything in it, anyway, for fear someone will read it. So what's the use of keeping one? Of course, the O. H.'s never do anything wrong, but just the same. First day in clinic. W e wore a new white uniform for the first time. My, did we feel good. We didn't have real patients, but just worked on each other. December 15
Had our much-dreaded test which covered ev-ervthing we had since the beginning of school. Of course most everyone thinks she failed.
137
December 16 Vacation starts—hooray! Had our Christmas
party. It was a lot of fun. All the girls looked so nice without their blue smocks. Our immigrants from the states of Florida and Georgia went home for vacation. January 2, 1940
Really is good to get back to school even though I did complain so much before vacation. Big excitement today! Honest to goodness real patients in the clinic. I hope the patients weren't as afraid as we were of them. A certain little lassie from Clarion asked Professor James if she was too old. Imagine, in front of the entire class, too. January 3
This same little lassie giving Dr. Tomlinson two apples. What are these O. H.'s coming to? Nan is running stiff competition for Myrt Waide's place as the "Scatterbrain" of the class. January 9
Some of the stories from the extraction room has everyone scared. January 10
Went to the Dean's lecture in our white uniforms. All the freshmen dental students stood up and clapped. The O. H.'s felt like crawling into a hole. All the students asked us if we are going to wear the white uniforms now instead of the blue smocks. Evidently they don't like the smocks either. January 16
Histo-Pathology mid year! Everyone is worried about all the other exams before they even get through with one. If all the tests are as nice (now how can a test be nice?) as the Histo-Pathology, we will be very grateful to our superiors. January 24
W e aren't very grateful. Histo-Pathology won the prize for being the nicest test. January 30
If these mid-years aren't over soon we will be over them during the examinations from studying all night. January 31
The Greater Philadelphia Annual Meeting and the Pennsylvania State Dental Hygienists' Association Annual Meeting were held at the Benjamin Franklin Hotel. Our class assisted the dentists with the various clinics that were held. February 1
Assisted the dentists in the morning and went
to the lectures held for the hygienists in the afternoon. February 2
Went to the afternoon table clinics that were held in the Benjamin Franklin and Betsy Ross rooms. February 22
Holiday, and I'm glad. Washington sure was a great person to be able to give us a holiday. Now we can catch up on some sleep. February 29
It may be leap year but that doesn't help us any. Leap year only means an extra day of school for us. March 8
The All-Dental Dance. Oh, my, what a brawl. Once a year it seems that the dental students really let themselves go, and this is it. I doubt if there was anyone who didn't have a good time. Probably the only ones were the people who owned the place and were nice enough to let us have it for the affair. March 22
Easter vacation begins. It's a good thing that vacations come once in a while for all of us. March 25
Back to school. All rested up and ready to go. Rest is good once in a few months, but it certainly is nice to get back to school. March 29
The Oral Hygienists gave their dinner-dance. Of course, it wasn't anything like the All-Dental dance, but we did have fun. I doubt if we will ever stop talking about that affair. May 6
Practical examinations on the big infirmary floor. My, were we afraid. Only 20 of us on that big floor. Now I know why the senior dental students seemed so nervous when they took their practicals. June 13
Commencement!!! What a colorful graduation. It was beautiful. W e were presented with our certificates for Oral Hygiene. The boys looked so nice in their caps and gowns. We had to graduate in our white uniforms and caps with our lilac ribbon on them. It was the last time we would all be together. I'm sure most of us are sorry. June 25 Our state board examinations. With these staring us in the face, we are all petrified, or nearly so. They are to be taken at the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy.

"Let's Cheer Again"
Let's cheer again for Temple, For Temple plays to win;
With a smash we'll go right thru now, All our foes will have to bow.
Thru thick and thin we'll cheer for The Cherry and White,
So we'll sing again our old refrain, And cheer — cheer again for Temple.

OUR VIEW OF THE OWL ATHLETIC PARADE
Yes, that certainly is quite a stadium on the opposite page, but only a few dental students have run their cleated shoes or have had their sweating faces pushed into the green grass of its gridiron. But, please, do not get the wrong impression, for a visit to any spot in the vicinity of Green Street will show you that the dents have plenty of "spunk." It must be remembered that these occupants of the department between 18th and 19th on Buttonwood Street are not what many picture "Collegiate" undergraduates, for they have sown their college oats elsewhere. Furthermore, the dental curriculum does not allow too much time out for much athletic participation.
When it comes to Saturday afternoon or Friday night grandstand "quarterbacking," just pick on a dental student—he will do a perfect job. Man, you could never find a more rabid fan in Brooklyn! On the morn of a gridiron tussle, the dental clinic is a quiet place, but those
P.T.C. cars are plenty noisy with dents bound for that City Line Stadium.
Looking back through the past four years, this senior class can rightfully treat itself to a collective beam of saisfaction. Why? Because the Owls have imported top notch competition from all sections of the country, and it sure has been a pleasure to watch those "All-Americans" doing their work on the field.
In football, such powers as Pittsburgh, Carnegie Tech, Holy Cross, T. C. U., Boston College, Vanderbilt, and others, have come up to meet us. Then, who could ever forget those Villanova tussles? Who could forget those highly touted performers—Goldberg, Stebbins, Osmanski, Ren^o, O'Brien, Condit, Pingle and others?
So, you see, we just couldn't keep away from that red-brick and concrete stadium. It really was something to cheer those Owls on to victory. Of course, all games could not be won, but even in defeat, the Owls were backed to look great.
145
Looking back, several gridiron highlights are quite glaring. Here at Temple we met the famed "Silver Fox," "Pop" Warner, who led the Owls to the Sugar Bowl. "Pop" was succeeded by Fred Swan, who will always be remembered as the producer of a highly-spirited team. Fred has gone to Colgate, and in his place we now have an aerial-minded coach— Ray Morrison—who will bring a wide-open game to Temple.
Remember the "dream" backfield of Pitt—Goldberg and Co.? They went to work against the Owls to the tune of 28 to 6. Here the Owls are on even terms with the Panthers, for they are now huddled before the opening kick-off.
The last game that you saw last season. Here Basca of Villanova is intercepting a last-minute pass to beat the Owls, 12 to 6. This is the game where your own Tomasic snared a 45-yard pass, and ran 55 yards more for a score!
Color Galore! Temple's home games not only
brought football to Philadelphia, but also an array
of bands, maneuvers and varied forms of fun-mak
ing. The swing band of T. C. U. from Fort Worth,
Texas, is pictured below. They certainly were very
hot, and so was Davey O'Brien, who led the Horned
Frogs to a 28 to 6 victory.
Honochick is on top of pileup at center. Quite a ganging up!
This is from that wild Boston College game.
Temple tallied twice in the last few minutes to even
things up, 26 to 26.
A gang-up here, but an easy one for
Temple. The men from Bucknell are
stopped, 26 to 0. Remember the fog that
completely obscured the game in the last
quarter?
Not creatures from Mars, just charging figures in a night game.
Looks like another goal
line stand by Temple.
They certainly can do it.
T. C. U. was held on the
one-foot line for downs in
an affair which the Owls
bagged, 14 to 11.
IMTERCOLLEGIATE BASKETBALL
Jim behind a
One name is associated with Temple's rise to the top in intercollegiate basketball—Usilton. In the 1937-'38 season, our sophomore year, Jimmy Usilton's coaching pushed the Owls to the top. It was in that year that the Philadel-phians won the national intercollegiate title in Madison Square Garden,
is no longer with us, for death last year took him away from us. He has left touch of perfection that will always be associated with the Owl courtmen.
Usilton huddles with his men
before the game opens.
149
Big Don Henderson displaying football agility, makes the Penn State Nittany Lions wish they had stayed at home.
Score: Michigan State 32 and Temple 32. The Arena spectators shout for a finish; tired Temple Owls call for time; the denticos cheer louder—and Blackie just yawns.
Reach—that attribute of champions—makes possible another win for Jimmy Usilton's Owls.
150
Unconquerable Northwestern, like a mid-western bli^ard, blew asunder Owl hopes of continued victory. Many a dent remembered this one.
Fourth quarter, and the wily Northwestern quintet continues to harangue the cherry Owl.
151
THAT OLD GAMG OF MIME
W e will never forget the day
When for our instruments we did pay.
The supply house packed them in a box.
W e became eligible for the school of hard knocks.
The upper classmen had told us
All about Doctors Bell, Grisbaum and Gus.
From the last two we'd catch hell
So as the path of least resistance, we tried to
get Bell.
There were phrases we soon learned, at night kept
going through our head.
It always brought us to our feet, what was it that he said?
"Attention: I want you fellows to stand quiet
and stop movin' around. I can't talk when you
fellows are jumpin' around like sailors swab-
bin' the decks. If I catch any one of you birds
borrowin' somethin' without askin' for it, I'll
give you four hundred hours. And if you
want to figure it out, there are twenty-four
hours to a day. There's too many things being
lost around here. Right, Grisbaum?"
"Right!"
"Right, Bell?"
"Right!"
"I had reported lost to me today fourteen wax
spatulas and three articulators. I don't mind
that so much, but the guy had better watch out
who walked off with the tweezers I use for, a
cigarette holder."
Then there's another one.
Keeps fellows on the run.
For you he'll set up a tooth
If you buy a Babe Ruth.
"Do like I told you, George."
That's what he will say,
And he makes you pay.
He takes impressions of your jaws
And, contrary to the laws,
He will take his little knife—
That's the time you fear your life.
Any models that he touches
Seem to fall right from his clutches.
His demonstrations are so fast,
If you sneeze then you are lost.
And then there's Dr. Bell.
He is swell, yes, like hell.
He knows just what to do,
But he never will tell you.
He keeps the secrets of the dental profession
A secret, that is Bell's greatest obsession.
But a freshman we were no more.
We next were Sophomores.
We really knew our stuff when we were Fresh
men.
We had instruments enough, when we were
Freshmen.
As soon as we did technique on the fourth floor
lab in front,
Then we had to be detectives, we were always on
the hunt.
If you washed your plaster bowl out and your
eyes you had to blink,
Everything would disappear, your bowl, even
spigots from the sink.
Dr. George Essig is a man we all admire.
He is always very helpful and he never seems to
tire
Of showing all the boys prosthetic wonders of
the age.
But we wonder, will he ever, ever get out from
that cage?
We were elevated into our junior year.
W e dreaded our first patient, that was our
greatest fear.
A paper cup, a holder, plus a napkin and a case,
We had in hand, you understand, and set them
up in place.
This department's not so bad.
Oh, why were we so sad?
154
THAT OLD GAMG OF MIMF
There is a lovely little lass
Who sits there with a pad.
Everyone is very nice, they all give good advice.
They helped us to select a tray, after we tried
once or twice.
They took the first impression and plaster wash
that day.
W e poured our model, made our base plate, trimmed our bite blocks, too.
But they took the bite for us to see that it was
true.
They selected teeth for us, they got the mold and
shade
But when we tried the set-up in, the color seemed
to fade.
We invested, vulcanised and finished up the plate
And checked them off, our troubles really started
from that date.
"My friends don't like the color. The front teeth
are too big.
My lips are puffed and solid and I look more like
a pig.
It hurts me in the back and a little on the side.
My gums are very tender and my teeth don't seem to glide.
It has a funny odor and a most peculiar taste."
That is the time we start to give them good
abrasive paste.
They chew and chew for an hour or two and then
we clean them out.
W e scrape the borders, the instructor orders to
cut the frenum out.
W e use that carbon paper to find out just where it's high.
We grind and scrape and cut so much that soon
we become shy.
Doc Salerno, who's in love with patients. Thinks
they all are queer.
Tells them, "Listen, lady, you have got to poisa-
veer."
When the tissues are all sloughing and the lower
floats around
W e apply a little campho in order to heal the
wound.
Then they tell us, "Now you try it, we showed
you how it's done."
So we try the whole procedure, get our plates
done one by one.
We always made adjustments, and our plates
came back no more.
Our guess is that they're tired and the plates are
in a drawer.
When we became seniors, we did just like the
past.
We knocked out all our dentures and we did
them plenty fast.
W e worked with trubyte teeth and vulcanite for
four years long.
But the men who're out in practice use the resins.
Now who's wrong?
We listen to the lectures, they seem to be the
same.
"Mill in the bite. Make swage plates. That's
how I get my fame."
"The future of the dentist is very bad, indeed,
Because you boys just sit and talk and none of
you take heed."
It's very true, we're telling you, what our pro
fessors say,
But most of these techniques were good for a
long lost yesterday.
But all in all, these things are swell, we've had a lot of fun.
We can't learn everything in school, we've only
just begun.
And a long time after we forget the letter and
the rule,
We will still remember the gang who taught us dentistry in school.
156
IT HAPPEMS EVERY TIME
I checked in mid-September. I would get an early start.
I'd get myself two hundred, that would be the hardest part,
And while the others struggle, while they sweat in middle May,
I would take it easy, study for my boards all day. I drove up to the same house where I lived three
years before, But the landlord rented out my room for half a
dollar more. So I started, like a freshman, to find a place to
stay. When I said I was a student, they politely said,
"Good day." I hunted rooms for three whole days, by night,
slept at the frat, And finally found a rooming house that also had
a cat. The latter was essential, 'cause the mice are very
bold. They jump right up in bed with you in winter,
when it's cold. It only took me four more days until I was un
packed. I put my clothes in order and I got my pictures
tacked. A week had passed unnoticed with little really
done. What more had I expected, after all, I'd just
begun. It was little or no effort to carry every dental tool From the room that I had rented to my locker up
in school. And when I got my locker clean, in shape, and all
in place, It took me four short hours to rearrange my case. The next day would be Saturday, I couldn't get
much done, So I thought I'd wait 'till Monday, start the week
off on the run. It was still September, true, the month was end
ing fast, But let me get my points and I'd forget about the
past. I waited all day Monday, Dr. Matthews looked
so fine. I waited all day Tuesday. Other students were
in line.
I did some work on Wednesday. I examined several, see,
But when the students were assigned, he wouldn't
assign me. I listened to his stories, 'bout the way he used to
skate And how the women fell for him, how he always
had a date. I let him smoke my cigarettes, I even bought him
lunch. I guess he liked my company, that is my only
hunch. September passed just like the rain, and then Oc
tober came, And with the onset of the month, he'd call us by
our name. He'd call us alphabetically, the name that starts
with "A" Would get the first new patient that would regis
ter that day. It was foolish that I hang around. My name was
far away. I could write some letters and come back another
day. When the boys returned that evening, I asked
how far he got, And to my disappointment, right past my name
he had shot. It wouldn't be so bad if I only had to wait Until they reached my name again, I'd be there
on that date. But to provoke matters and what made things
twice as slow, The juniors had their clinic days. I must wait
until they go. It happened nine days later, 'twas a Thursday
bright and sharp. I knew my turn was due and I was fit to play a
harp. About half-past eleven the waiting room was still, But from past experience I knew it would refill. And fill it did at half-past twelve, I was just six
away. But other boys called for them and nothing I
could say Could make the five increase to six, although I
knew a way. Dr. Matthews, sort of friendly, he just pinched
me on the cheek
158
IT HAPPEMS EVERY TIME
When closing up at half past three, he wouldn't let me speak.
"It is slower now than other time, but never have a fear.
There'll be loads of patients at the closing of the year."
The next day, it was Friday. I would be the first in line.
So I made sure that I got there, there would be no slips this time.
The verdict was, "pathology." It had to happen to me.
The patient said she'd let me work as long as it was free.
I begged, I pleaded, on bended knees. "Disease is in your mouth."
She said it was o. k. with her, she'd have them all pulled out.
I told her that I'd save them, that I'd make them nice and white.
She said she wanted teeth like stars. Let them come out at night.
When I told her of the money it must cost, she said she'd see.
So I opened up my Ritter book to see when I was free.
I couldn't work for two more weeks because I was assigned
To duties, X-ray and the like. This put me far behind.
When I was free from service, and able to work once more
I started through the same routine, this time a little sore.
And so it went throughout the month, I'm sorry to relate.
I couldn't get full dentures, I was given partial plates.
Thanksgiving found me full of joy, I really had to pray
And thank the Lord because I was assigned a full X-ray.
Things passed from bad to worse to worse, and finally what I took,
Were patients classmates had refused after they took one look.
I did four prophies in December, is there question what they'd be?
A dear friend, Dr. Michael Quinn, classified them all as "C."
He marked down progress every time. My instruments grew blunt.
For salivary calculus continually I did hunt. Completed, I thought, set to check the prophies
on these dames, When dashing down behind my chair came
speedy Dr. James. He said that I would have to grind, restore a
normal bite. Before he'd let me do this, a case history I must
right. So I started asking questions. "Are you married,
what's your age? Did you ever contract syphilis? Oh, you did?
And in what stage? Were your mother and father cousins, and what
is your bleeding time? You have periodental pockets and you haven't
got a dime." So I went home for vacation, and still I had no
part Of my early anticipation of a two-hundred point
start. I made New Year resolutions and I figured out a
way To do strictly only fillings and make twenty
points a day. But the first day I returned to the Operative floor I had to get in trouble and get Dr. Trahan sore. It was such a long time since I had put on rubber
dam That I forgot to put the napkin on the chin, and
so the jam. In a huff, I went to Hess about the demerit to
explain. He threw me off the floor to calm me down and
become sane. He declared me well and able ten days later, like
a sport He gave me five demerits and made me fifty more
points short. I could talk for hours and hours and relate my
further plight. But I must return to sleep now and take advan
tage of the night. May I say, then came the mid-years, then my
practical Class One. Then as though I had B. O., all my patients did
me shun.
159
IT HAPPEMS EVERY TIME
When I tried to do an inlay, the instructors all
debated.
Some said fill it with amalgam, inlay's contraindi-
cated.
When I tried on some occasions to get foil from
Gibson's cage,
She would tell me, not politely, that she's finished,
in a rage.
And when I had some trouble and had to work a
little late,
The lady with the mop told me to scram, she
couldn't wait.
And those times I will remember while mixing
silicate on the slab,
Some one down the loudspeaker my own name
began to blab.
And they told me of Pedodontia, and those points I had to get
Or else I'd flunk with Casto, and then I'd be all set.
Luck was just the same in Exodontia, I was cute.
Consistent all day long, I broke every single root.
Doc Salerno paid me compliments. He said that every plate
I made could be used in the mouth, or as a paperweight.
It is April first . . . the fool's day, and they think that I am slow.
But I'll continue working, I've got no other place to go.
And though I graduate from here there'll always be some guy
Who'll be in school, won't get the breaks, He'll be the same as I.
161
MISCELLAMEOUS
The exposure said to the explorer as the latter
hooked into a free margin, "Ya Got Me."
Said the first polar body to the second polar
body, "Boy, is it cold."
My friends, back home, ask questions
I am always up a tree.
What is the best tooth paste to use
Is one that they ask me.
I tell them we use samples
'Cause we're sure to get them free.
Said the napkin to the dental floss as it was rolled
about the. instruments before sterilisation,
"I'm fit to be tied."
There are seven days a week with which we've
got to fool.
And six of them, both day and night, are all tied
up with school.
The seventh is a day of rest, we can't move, as
a rule.
And there's the student who used some of Scott's
tissue to prepare a biopsy.
Have you ever had that feeling, you just lie awake
in bed,
When a dry throat is appealing for some liquid
to be fed?
So you up and mix a glass full, a picker upper
with a "head."
And then there are the afternoons—You're look
ing for a "spot"
You may have played, perhaps you worked, you'd
given all you got.
Take the stopper off the bottle—mix with pow
der, take a "shot"
Yes, sir! Give me a malted. It always hits the
spot.

WHAT WILL YOURS SAY ABOUT YOU? Now, while you are planning your office, is the pertinent time to bear
in mind that most of the patients who will come to you have, upon one or more occasions, visited some other dental office, and that the initial appointment with you is their opportunity to compare you and your office with other dentists and dental offices they have known.
That you should strive to make these mental comparisons favor you is obvious, and it lies within your power to so mold them. How?
