Occopodian 1937

FORE ORD

How unfortunate it is that we cannot appre
ciate, in full , the beauty of these days of
pleasure and of duty (days and years that

too soon cease to be !) If we could only

know the joy we'll feel when future years
have taught us recipicence - so that we de-
light in reminiscence - we'd cherish more
these days that are so real.

Instead, we blindly go our different ways,
contemptuous of a11 senti menta Iism, only to
return in future years - to laugh and cry
. about these college days and realize with

greater humorism, the preciousness of al I our

joys and fears.

"I have been faithful to thee, Cynara, in my fashion."

When Earnest Dawson wrote these helpless, ·groping words,
he was hardly thinking of the student support of a class
book. Singularly they are applicable.

Since the establishment of the custom of publishing annuals
and class books, they have been purchased and perused
perfunctorily and in a sense of duty.

But this practice of collecting a year-book is founded on a
rea I desire on the part of the student. At a casua I glance,
the underlying motive in annuals is a force of precedent.
However, the rea I reason is not convention, but is rea Ily
rooted deeper-in sentiment.

It is not because their predecessors have published the
record of their doings, that we have the continuous Row

0 G IA

of publications. In each graduating group is the innate con-
ceit that they have an interesting story to tell. That their
lives in college have been periods of achievement, and their
combined character, exemplary.

So we think that, as the graduating class of Nineteen Hun-
dred and Thirty-Seven, we are just a little finer in achieve-
ment, and a little richer in character, than the previous
classes. And in respect to our synthetic superiority, we feel
impelled to the recording of our scholastic careers for the
satisfaction of our pride and the edification of the under-
graduates.

We hope we are not presenting just another book, but have
distinguished this · one with our · own distinctive merits. We
hope we can impress on you the greater individuality of
our class reflected in the mirror of our own autobiography.

The Editors

;;:==== DEDICATION

AS THE GREAT WHEELS OF CHIROPODIAL
PROGRESS SPIN RAPIDLY AROUND, WE
PAUSE AT THIS MOMENT TO RESPECTFULLY
DEDICATE THIS EDITION OF "THE OCCO-
PODIAN" TO THAT CERTAIN GROUP OF
MEN WHO, THROUGH THEIR UNDAUNTED,
UNSELFISH AND CEASELESS EFFORTS, HAVE
PLACED CHIROPODY HIGH AMONG THE
RECOGNIZED MEDICAL SCIENCES.

OUR ALMA MATER

GEOGRAPHICALLY . . .

The Ohio College of Chiropody is ideally located in the heart of the
cultural and educational center of Cleveland. Within a five-minute

walk of the School is the Museum of Art, Severance Hall (home of

the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra), Flora Stone Mather College,
Adelbert College, Western Reserve University Hospitals and the Case
School of Applied Science.

PROFESSIONALLY ..

To meet the increasing demands within recent years for Chiropodial
education and training, the Board of Trustees of the Ohio College of
Chiropody made an exacting survey. The result was a complete new

college erected in 1931. The faculty has been selected from the out-

standing authorities in the fields of Chiropody, Medicine, Surgery,
Orthopedics, Physiotherapy and Pharmacology.

CECIL P. BEACH, Ph. G., D.S.C.

Director of Clinics

CLIN ICALLY...

In the fall of 1934 our new clinic building, located on the campus, was dedi-

cated. The completion of this structure provided the necessary room and equip-
ment for the efficient instruction of the students in the practical application of
the principles taught in the class-rooms. Skill cannot be taught; it must be ac-

quired. In addition to a forty chair clinic - where more than 24,000 Cleve-

landers were treated the past year - separate departments for Orthopedics,
Operative Surgery, Physiotherapy and X-ray investigation and treatment are
maintained. All activity at the clinic is under supervision of skilled and licensed
clinicians. Each student is required to keep a comprehensive record of every
patient he treats. In addition to the college clinic, facilities for observation in
three excellent Cleveland hospitals are available to the student body.

THE issuance of an annual publication by any student body, in which an account of the activities, the
hopes, the disappointments and that wide variety of gossip so interesting to students and friends, is
an important item.

To begin with it should always be encouraged, as the record of the activities_ of the class over their

senior year provides entertainment and satisfaction when read and re-read as the years pass. The com-

petition that should be engendered by a close study of annuals preceding the issue of the present one

inspires the editors and contributors to greater effort that they may exceed iA character what has gone

before. ·

The officials of the College are naturally interested in the project for the reason that it gives a· cross-
section of experiences, as well as reAects opinion, each of the other and held by the student body of
the faculty. Strange as it may seem, individual members of the faculty rather enjoy being razzed by
the student at the only time when we have no opportunity of coming back at you, because of which
you are permitted to express freely just what you think of us and of each other, without the fear of
being handicapped ·by the record when it is finally known.

Many of these annual publications have presented great merit. All have been an index of earnest effort
and conscientious work. We naturally look for improvement from year to year, because the latest
has the benefit of study and criticism of the publications that have gone before. For this reason, no
excuse is ever offered for a let-down in the material.

Humor is none too prevalent in life, and most of us lack a proper sense of it, because of which the jokes
are somewhat strained at times, and yet, shining brilliantly like a precious gem, we get occasional
flahes of real wit and humor that illuminates the pages on which they are found.

We appreciate your effort in this venture, and sincerely hope that when the annual is finally bound
between attractive boards it may measure up to its predecessors in every respect and hit a slightly
higher mark for emulation in the future.

President



A S A PROFESSIONAL study Chiropody has shown advancement comparable to any of the standard

r \ professions which are now under licensure. The field is fertile and opportunities are unlimited.

Throughout the southern and mid-western part of our country the public is not Chiropody conscious,
due no doubt, to the few practitioners within its borders. In these sections pioneering is yet in its in-
fancy. The possibilities for some of this graduating class entering upon their chosen P[rofession in these
new fields will bring satisfaction and recompense for the energetic and persevering Chiropodist.

During the three years of your studentship you have had the guidance of the best talent recruited from
the medical and chiropodial professions. How much of their advice and knowledge you have assimi-
lated will be greatly reAected by the results you attain in your professional career. We tru~t you will
make us proud of our handiwork.

As you leave our portals you have the satisfaction of knowing your Alma Mater is always striving to
do better; raise standards of the profession, and progress with the times. Do you likewise. Do not
stop studying; keep up with the times by subscribing to as many professional journals as possible. Join
your state and national organizations, become an active member in your local organization, serve on
committees where your ability will help. You get out of any organization what you put into it.

Whatever accomplishment you may attain wifl reAect credit upon the Ohio College of Chiropody;
the place that tried to mold your future . By the same token your failures will be our failures. Ke-~p in
touch with your Alma Mater; we will always have open house for you, ever willing to show you
the changes and the improvements made since your graduation. Do not say "Good-bye" but Au Revoir.

After the next year we will require each applicant to our school shall have, besides a diploma from
a secondary school, one year of liberal arts; with sufficient credits in the basic scienc;es to enable him
to better comprehend and understand the subjects taught at the college.

As this is my farewell message to you as students, I wish to all success and happiness in your' chosen
field. May you have a long and prosperous future.

TO THE CLASS

of

1937

ROLLIE L. DRYFUSE, Ph.G., D.S.C.

Faculty Advisor

Inevitable as it must, another year has passed into the days of yesterday. Another class
of the Ohio College of Chiropody stands on the threshold of achievement.

To some it is just another class. To you, The Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-
Seven. You have strived, studied and struggled to attain that which is rightfully yours.
You have chosen to carry on the work of relieving human suffering, which, in itself,
is a great work. You have been fitted for this task by the best foundation in the
world; you have been given fundamental and scientific instruction second to none.
You can rightfully say "I am equipped to carry on my life's work and am able to
perform my duties as they should be performed."

You as a class have been outstanding. You have upheld the banner of your Alma
Mater, "Advancement and Progress," that each year shall be better than the last.
You have carved a niche in the hall of the Ohio College of Chiropody which will
make each succeeding class strive to do their utmost to equal, let alone, surpass.
I am proud of you.

I want to remain proud of you as the years pass by. Do not think your goal attained
with your graduation. Put as much or more effort into your practice as you have in
your preparation; apply your shoulder to the wheel of your profession and con-ski.er;
no task too great in the building of your ethical standing.

Keep striving to bring your profession to the top; join your local, state and national
associations. Remember, "in unity there is strength," and each individual working as
a part of a unit, doing his or her best, will force recognition from the most skeptic.
Keep yourself clean morally and professionally and you will attain that which we all
desire - peace, prosperity, and happiness. .

Remember your Alma Mater; do not let mis-directed inFluence sway your allegiance

from her. Always think of her as a fond parent who has directed your faltering foot-

steps when they needed guidance the most, and any seeming mistakes are always

made in the untiring effort to give you the best. . ''

Your Alma Mater is a foster-parent who has cast aside all petty prejudice and has
willingly given every effort for you and your success. She condoles your failures and
enjoys, with you, your triumphs. Love her, uphold her, and above all, respect her.

I deeply appreciate the honor which you have bestowed upon me and hope my
counsel and guidance has been of benefit to you in your college life, and may help
you in the years to come.

SENIORS



GEORGE F. HAIGH, JR.

As many different classes graduate from colleges of Chiropody, one of the major
issues that still remains is, whether to be ethical or non-ethical. The Hippocritical Oath
that has upheld the standards of th e medical profession for so many years, should still
continue to fulfill our basic ambitions.

Every great man in history who has aided the medical profession in some way, by
means of scientific discovery or special service, has struggled to maintain the moral-
ized standards of those who have gone on before him, and not in any way detract
from their long years of hard labor. The opportunities are still greater in the rising
classes of the future generation, because instead of the present scheduled three years,
four years are now required to graduate. This in every respect adds prestige to our
advancing profession.

Leaving Chiropodial School enables us to enter the great university of adversity.
This is the final school in any training, and it immediately determines whether a per-
son has qualities capable of upholding his profession. We of today are much better
qualified, both in equipment and knowledge, to serve the human race more faithfully
than any of those who have passed before us.

Thus in conclusion may I leave these thoughts to the Class of Nineteen Hundred and
Thirty-Seven, and say, "A chain may only be as strong as its weakest link'," but may
none of us be that weak link.

We are easily reminded of Janet's report on Vitamin D in our Surgery

busy writing letters to her many friends) we are sure she will follow
this standard in Hollidays Cove.·

The quiet person has a great advantage over one who is talkative.
About the . talkative one we can truly form an opinion, but silence is
always impressive. Artie's philosophy of Iife is based just on these
facts. It is a great virtue; it covers folly, keeps secrets, avoids disputes
and prevents trouble.

Jolly, a good student, and a true friend, describes the man from Ocean
City. His air of assurity reminds one of the cool breezes from the
Atlantic. Charles' golfing was the reason for those private conversa-
tions with Dr. Marek. His forwarding ability will always be applied
to a profession we know he will benefit.

"Our 'Jack' of all trades." Jack was interested in more projects or

His generosity, congeniality and willingness to be of help established
hfm as one oi the class favorites.

from d mouse-trdp to d discourse on Mdterid Medicd.

Bronx JACK BROWN New York

To those who know him intimdtely, Jdck is gifted with dn dcute aware-
ness of the importance of detdils. He was seldom heard in the idle bick-
erings of the class, but when something of possible serious consequence
arose his views always received their well-merited attention.

BENJAMIN M. BROWNLEY

His frank manner of expression and his mischievous acts in the class-

lows in the footsteps of his ddd, and we are sure he will, a bright
future is in store.

JULIUS CITRON

Beta Tau Alpha

Humor Editor of "Occopodian"; Flower Committee

The "Kid from Arizona," or still better, Dr. Mdrek's original phrase-
ology, "The Jeep." "Red's" laugh proved very contagious, and with-
out his comic relief many a dull class would have been totally unbear-
able. In all due respects to him, we are sure thdt his home town will
feel his presence.

Woonsocket HERMAN E. COLITZ Rhode Island

Fortunately or unfortunately we did not meet him until our senior year,
having spent his previous years at the Temple School of Chiropody. He

Everyone knew "Snuffy." He wanted to be quiet, but an irrepressible

which accounts for the Dean's gibbing.

Zanesville fMNCIS P. CRIDER, A.13_ Ohio

Here is a man of firm convictions, and of strong likes and dislikes.
Stolidly refusing to ride on every wave of changing opinion he per-
sonified the adage, "Be not the first by whom the new is tried, nor yet
the last to cast the old aside." Schlossberg's running mate-enough
said!

• In purpose and character, his ideals are ethical and beyond reproach.
Serious, and having the ability to properly evaluate matters, Sam has
been the life-giving spark to the Seniors' hope for a bigger and better

Well bred, sincere, and a plugger, Al could always be expected to

George possesses al I the driving characteristics required of his office.
We think that his class interest ran a close second to his studies. Ever
willing and always with a determined and unharassed attitude, our
model president did lots to iron out the difficulties we encountered.

John has one fault-his puns. Some are bad and the rest are worse,

yet we have managed to put up with them, though recourse to violence

was at times necessary. That smile is irresistible; yet he has some sane

moments, and during these intervals he is at his best. ·

The number one man of the class by reason of the seating arrangement
in class. Here is a personification of the ideal stu:::lent, seldom in the
limelight, but really forming part of the backbone of the class. His
sober mentality and emotional balance will work wonders on his f•Jt'Jre
practice.

Jimmie is in a class by himself. Usually picking the wrong side of an
argument, Jimmie would rather have argued than eaten, and he had
a voracious appetite. On rare occasions he admitted he was wrong,
but sti II had his doubts about it. Short wave diathermy is his favorite
subject and we hope he can convince Dr. Wish of its merits.

When profs called for questions, we were sure of one from Jim. His
lust for information is his outstanding characteristic, scholastically but

type of treatment for his hammer toe.

Superficially loquacious, Joe was really given to moods of intensive

One day, early in our freshmen year, Fred sneezed and we thought

Ethel had a reputation to live up to when she matriculated. One of

sure she has upheld the name of Mosig. Her sweetness and congenial-
ity has won her a host of friends and Jimmie McClure.

Conscientious and steady, Murphy depicts a typical character of the

Argumentive almost to a fault, Les was willing to acknowledge de-
feat only if he was duly proven wrong. This seldom happened in

His outstanding quality was his turbulently Flatulent line, from which

Ouiet as falling snow, and tempered by superbly quiet dignity, he
could sit in the midst of the class-room, evade al I troublesome tides,
and miraculously come through unscathed. His mastering of the trumpet

To a casual observer, "Metzie" might appear quiet and sedate, but ap-
pearances are proverbially deceiving. His friends know him to be
another person. No worry, no hurry, no care, his idea of school would
be a Utopia.

One of the most progressive and aggressive men of the class. Russ is

Since the first year, he has become known as the best pinochole player
on the campus. Dr. Witwer's silent admirer during the senior year.
His fine tenor voice could be heard echoing through the halls any
Wednesday afternoon. Much of the financial success of the Occopodian

Excitement is a word that is absent from Esther's vocabulary, or so it

said of her ability, but we have run out of adjectives.

He was deeply engrossed in the "more important things in life" while
at school, but did not allow this to warp his pleasing personality or
mar his scholastic record. His ready smile and gentle nature imbibed
him with respect from his fellow students.

0uietly humorous, quaintly philosophical, "Shelley" wears well as a

"Red" guarded our purse strings so wel I that sometimes we actually
had to fight to spend our own money. His ability to "dog" us for our
dues was remarkable, oftentimes we wondered if he would everlet
up. His ability to derive exuberant pleasure from simple occupations
of work-a-day life is our envy.

Couple keen humor with deep intelligence and we have the Jack
Benny of our class. Sam is noted for his fast wit and clever repertoire.
Weinberger's interpreter in Dr. Dryfuse's class. With his likable per-
sonality and his ultra-knowledge of shoes, he should be successful.

The dull cares of college life have rested easily upon his shoulders.
Being the son of one of the oldest practitioners in Ohio, we feel
sure of his ability to step in and give his dad a helping hand, and pos-
sibly show the "old-timer" a thing or two.

You can always depend on Reggie's level-headed judgment. He has
never been known either to be dissatisfied or to admit a task was hard.
The world has too few such individuals. Pennsylvania has enriched us
with a worth-while friend and classmate.

Athletics claim his attention as a method of relieving an overabundance
of energy. Never discouraged, always a willing worker, and offering
a helping hand when needed, you can count on "Chick" to help you
out of your difficulties or to add to the life of the party.

Harold's boyish looks and adolescent grin hid an adult intellect, of
which we are by now aware. There is an impulsive warmth in his hand-
clasp which earned for him a host of friends. Never prone to doing
rash things, one would be ~hocked indeed to hear him grow excited
and lose his temper.

We were once told that "Herbie" had a very sensitive nature, and
at the same time we were advised to be carefu+ with him. Certainly!
We'd be careful with dynamite, too! Though among friends, the fuse
is seldom ignited, which has given us ample time to enjoy his presence.

Although we did not meet Sam until our last year, he was no alien
in our midst. His eagerness for knowl z,:IJe is puhaps his reason for
his ever inquisitive nature. We hope al I his questions have been an-
swered to his satisfaction.

Tom's amazingly ramified questions usually left the poor profs so ob-
fuscated that he was literally looked up with awe, tinged with sus-
picion. A serious, level-headed gentleman, he never permitted fun to
interfere with his aim in life.

Shoals is where he hails from, and the Dean has never stopped remind-
ing him of it. Sleeping, eating, and basketbal I are his favorite sports.
When he is not eating, he is sleeping, so his room-mate (Cooke) never
wakes him intentionally. However, our hats are off to Ed, for he can
give as wel I as take.

C 0 L L EG E Bu L D N G

When we first entered the portals of Ohio College of Chiropody, all
were alike in manner and objectives. No individuality distinguished any
one of us from his fellowmen . All were subjugated to the domination of
intellectual standardization.

Then with the gradual unfolding of the college cu~riculum came the divid-
ing lines in the characteristics of the students. With the gain in con-
fidence born of the realization of fitness, came a comparative step forward
in self-assertion. The marks of individuality gradually impressed them-
selves until each of us had his own foibles and picturesqueness, that form
such a pleasing and often amusing part of our school life.

Regardless of our individualities, our main objective bound us more firmly
than one would expect. In our close association through our college
years we have attended classes together, been bored and boisterous to-
gether, studied, played, ate, danced and even lived together.

We have learned to know each other's idiosyncrasies, our common hopes
and conquests. All these have allied us too strongly; and the bonds of
our close friendships are too deep to be broken by the gesture of grad-
uation.

It is said, "Learning ends in school, education with death, and friendship
three generations later." Let us continue our associations together.

OF

OUR DUTY and PROFESSION

In the life-span of every individual , there are two directions in which to look, for-
wards and backwards. In the forward direction are those who have progressed in
our profession, beckoning us on, an~ in the backward direction are those who have
fallen by the wayside. Every individual was born to carry his share of responsibility,
whether great or small, and any one of us who fails to do this, has fallen by the
wayside.

Great achievements have b~en acco'llplished in the chiropo~y profession, yet greater
ones still call to us all . Those who have accomplished much are full of self-reliance,
strength, and courage. They have thrown aside the jeers of thos,e who have fallen ,
and have successfully battled hardships, bitter toil , and despair. We should not
pause and be pushed aside, but ever lift our eyes in the forward direction.

We should face the new problems with an aim and a determination which can be
cast with the records among those best remembered. We must remember that nine
out of every ten who fail , started in with some degree of unbelief, and to accom-
plish much, we must be inspired with great aims, and purposes. We can greatly
boast of the deeds being performed_ in the pre~ent, yet, there is still a greater demand
in our profession for men to fulfill his place in life more fully than· ever before. Let
us answer this challenge as Chiropodists, realizing that looking forward means prog-
ress, and by always striving to lo·ok forward we are sure to progress rather than look
backwards and fall with the less worthy.
