Paul Lewis Brecker Paul, the Ivy look addition to the class of 1958, is another stalwart of the indefatigable first table. A gradu- ate of the University of Pennsylvania, where he mixed studies and social life quite well, Paul came to Columbia ready to devote himself to four years of astute dental study. He soon realized, like the rest of his classmates, that this was a necessity, rather than a resolution. His presence in this yearbook attests to his success in this matter. Nevertheless, Paul also has found time to enjoy him- self. Weekend visits to his alma mater for a football game, an annual Christmas party for his friends, and regular attendance at Broadway theatres make for a well-rounded dental student. And let us not forget, that it was during his stay at Columbia that Paul met his lovely bride-to-be, Marjorie, who is responsible for his weekly rendezvous to Brooklyn, a strange land to some- one used to the cozy confines of Scarsdale, New York. After graduation and marriage in June, Marjorie and Paul plan to spend the next two years with the United States Navy, and then on to private practice.

Lawrence Annus Larry has the distinction of being the only senior who can carry his instrument kit to the Pedodontics clinic without the loss of an extra breath. His square shoulders are an integral part of the general anesthesia procedure as he helps the patients from the operating room. But, Larry is not one to display his brawn. In fact, at Mari- etta College he was the college handball champion, showing that agility and dexterity are part of this im- mense frame. At school, the type of work he does, proves this, time and time again. Larry is an active member of Alpha Omega fraternity, and this year did a capable job of managing the finances of the organiza- tion, as its treasurer. Larry and his lovely wife, Paula, live in the Bronx with their adorable new daughter, Alene Beth. A very proud father, his face beams whenever he talks about or shows a picture of his pride and joy. Confident in himself, and in his ability, Larry plans to enter private practice upon graduation. There is no doubt that he will be an impressive figure to any new patient entering his office, and after being exposed to the high quality of his work, who can question a suc- cessful future?

Huei-Yuen Chang If Vivian didn t have a working knowledge of the American Vernacular before she came to dental school, four years in the eighth floor lab have certainly rounded her education. As the sole female member of our class, she has heard many an irate student bemoaning their problems and castigating instructors in the strongest of terms. Through it all Viv has kept her keen sense of humor and has appeared as unconcerned as possible. Adding a truly international flavor to our homogene- ous group. Vivian, a native of Shanghai. China, came to us after studying at West China Union University, and the Columbia University School of Public Health. As a matter of course Vivian became our expert on Eastern cuisine and any gourmet who would like to try special meals would do well to consult her first. By her excellent work in the clinic and labs. Viv has maintained a uniformly high standard of work and has become recognized as an outstanding member of the first Prosthetics group. After graduation. Vivian plans to practice both Publ ic Health dentistry and pedodontics.
