AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF ORTHODONTISTS

President’s Banquet

XExos, the Greek word for stranger, is also the word for friend. Westerners and travelers from afar, basking in the atmosphere of friendship and majestic scenery, paid tribute to a vital and effective force in the specialty of orthodontics when Dr. and Mrs. William Roy Humphrey were honored by members of Dr. Humphrey’s profession at the annual dinner-dance held in the grand ballroom of the Denver Hilton.

I)r. Humphrey, as guest of honor, replied to the toast to guests and to Dr. George Anderson’s presentation of the past-president’s key in the enthusiastic manner that pervaded the entire fifty-seventh annual meeting of the A. A. 0.
