The Senior Class and the yearbook staff dedicate this yearbook to Dr.
Max M. Pomerantz as a token of our thanks and respect for his many ef-
forts in the field of Podiatry. Especially do we commend him for the
progress that has been made here at the Ohio College of Podiatry during
the last four years. We are aware that under his guidance and ·direction,
this is and shall be an institution to reflect on with pride. It is our hope
that the progress at our school may continue in the future.

It is with great feeling and deep fondness that we of the Ohio College
of Podiatry revere the memory of our beloved Dr. Leo Markey. He, who
imparted so much knowledge and instilled into us the confidence of medical
toxicology has been taken from this world. It is our hope that during this
holiday season his memory will guide us towards doing the "good things"
that he valued so much. We will long remember Dr. Markey, a friend to
all of us.

At this time of the year, all members of the 1965 graduating class cer-
tainly are entertaining doubts as to their futures in the profession of Po-
diatry. Questions and doubts as to where to establish a practice, the doubts
as to the amount and type of equipment, and the doubts as to the type of
practice we shall pursue.

In such contemplation, if a man begins with certainties, he shall end in
doubts; but if he be content to start with doubts, he shall end in certainties.
Thinking well is wise; planning well-wiser, doing well w'isest and best of
all. Doing well may represent success to many people, but success, as a
diamond has many facets. I believe that a successful man is he who receives
a great deal from his fellowman, usually incomparably more than corres-
ponds to his service to them. The value of a man however should be seen
in what he gives rather than what he receives.

Your Alumni congratulates each of you, not only upon your graduation
this day, but also looks forward to the future years of your giving to the
profession, as a successful practititioner. We earnestly welcome each of
you as members of the Alumni Association of the Ohio College of Podiatry.

Our sincerest wishes for a most successful future in Podiatry.
President of Alumni Association

St. Louis University, School of Medi-
cine. Mount Sinai and St. Luke's. hos-
pitals. Cleveland Academy of Medi-
cine, Ohio State Medical Association,
American Medical Association, Amer-
icc).n Academy of Allergy.

The completion of your academic studies has been long awaited by you
and of course that is quite natural. However, this does not mean that your
studying is ended. In the Healing Arts, one is never finished with study,
primarily because there is constant change in all branches of Medicine-
and Podiatry is no exception. You should resolve that you will faithfully
keep abreast of the times, and you will find that it will be quite rewarding
to you.

You must also resolve to dedicate yourselves to the advancement of your
profession by playing an active part in the formulation of policy-in the
raising of educational standards and in the up grading of post-graduate
education. Don't sit back complacently and let the "next fellow do it."

Stay close to your Alma Mater-give her the support she is rightfully
entitled to. Visit her often so that you are acquainted wih her problems.

Lastly, let me say that it has been my pleasure to have played some part
in your development. I wish you the best of everything in your future en-
deavors.

The foremost thought on our minds at present is that for four years we
have been looking towards an end, and now that it has arrived, we discover
that it is but the beginning.

No calling is more demanding, no service more rewarding than that
which we have chosen. Few individuals come to grips so intimately and
constantly with the fundamental problems of living as we will.

We, the Class of 1965, leave this spring to take up lives which will be
full beyond the power of man's imagination a generation ago. Never have
medicine and foot health held so high a place in the minds of people the
world over. Never has the promise of a better life with the help of medicine
been brighter. Yet, we, the future practitioners, will find our share of the
pressures, alarms, and long demanding events which our predecessors
shared.

Our heartfelt thanks and ever indebtedness go to those wives, parents
and faculty that have aided and groomed us. It is now up to us to use the
knowledge afforded us to search even further and intensify the integrity of
Podiatry.

Good luck, doctors!

It is not an easy thing for me to comment on this past school year until
it is past-and I can sit back and take a long critical look. I know that there
has been progress in the school and clinic but there has also been problems
and frustrations for many of the students. As president of the junior class,
I have been a kind of middle man between the students and the administra-
tion. In this position I feel that I have been fortunate since, I have been
able to see both sides of every story. I hold a great respect for those respon-
sible for the administration of the school and clinic.

I am sure that when we look back on this year, we will see that it was
the beginning of many things. Changes in the school as well as the clinic
were no longer promises for the future but came to pass. It seems that the
men that have graduated in past years caught on to the fact that words were
fine, but for real progress it takes plain old money.

My hope is that in my class and all classes after us, we leave with one
thought in mind. "Support the school." Not all men have the time to play
an active part in its future, but we will all be able to keep up an annual
contribution to see that our profession makes progress where it counts-in
our schools.

Being elected to the office of president is always an honor. To me, being
elected president of the junior class has shown that a great trust has been
placed in me. I hope that I have fulfilled this trust and that I will remain
friends with every man in my class. I would also like to thank the office
administration and the clinic director for their understanding and coopera-
tion in our many mutual problems.
