  Mr. KANJORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the Class 
of 1951 of the Dental School of Temple University, which will hold a 
reunion and celebration on may 5 and 6 in Philadelphia at Sugarloaf, 
the university's conference center.
  When this class, which I am proud to say includes my cousin, Dr. Ray 
Chase, enrolled in 1947, a unique group of young men entered into the 
annals of history. Ninety-seven percent of these students served their 
country in various branches of the armed services during World War II, 
and all members of the class in their combined years in the practice of 
dentistry served in caring for the health of their respective 
communities throughout the United States.
  During their time at Temple, a distinct feeling of camaraderie was 
felt among the whole class. The students came to one another's 
assistance not only in the seriousness of their studies, but also in 
the lighter pursuits. For two years, the class assembled its talent for 
an annual vaudeville performance complete with dancers, singers, 
instrumentalists and stand-up comedians. That was entirely new to the 
dental school and was a resounding success.
  That class spirit has continued over the fifty years since, and get-
togethers, newsletters and numerous phone calls have kept these men 
close and have developed among them some of their dearest friends. I 
would now like to read into the record the names of these distinguished 
men:
