He is a graduate of Stonehill College in northeastern Massachusetts where he majored in Biology. Surpri- singly, Steve could often be found after hours at DeVol Funeral Home where he worked for the past two years. His less morbid interests included Psi Omega Fraternity, and he was a avid member of the Underwood Boys. Immediate practice plans include a part-time associateship and a part-time private practice in Massachusetts developing into a suc- cessful full-time private practice in the near future. Aveens dedicates this page to his parents and family for their love, understanding, and constant support, and especially to Iudy, who has given me love, encouragement, and perseverance. A favorite quote: 'SHappy are those who dream dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true. - L.I. Cardinal Suenens

Paul Arfanis, D.D.S. Graduation! I can't believe it! And to think just two years ago, I was taking my first patient. I was a little nervous then, but Dr. Sheldon was very reassuring. lust two hours later, after my nice safe choice of a class II MO amalgam on number 28 deferred to a fractured-tooth-MODBL onlay on number 14 out of necessity, I knew that dentistry was MY profession. In spite of the constant flow of saliva, the blood, the lack of visibility, and the patient's screams, Dr. Mazzuca prevailed and cemented that onlay just nine weeks later. To this day that patient has never come back to Georgetown. No complaints, I guess! My favorite part of dental school? I guess that's a three-way tie between making temporaries, taking phone calls for broken appointments, and paying tuition. Hey! Who said sophomore lab isn't fun??! On a more serious note I would like to thank my mother, whose unwavering love and support I will always appreciate. And I would like to wonder about myself for putting up with the whole thing. And I'd like to thank all those people who had to listen to me complain all these years. Without them I surely would've gone crazy long ago. flnstead, they did!j JF

Richard A. Baratta,D.D.S. Rich departed from Damascus, Maryland to attend Washington College on Marylands eastern shore. After receiving his B.S. in Chemistry, he eagerly turned up at Georgetowns front step anxious to embark upon his dental education. Rich most enjoyed pharmacol- ogy which he found entrancing. He makes no claim to contributing towards the sea on bobbing heads in morning lectures. Rich found the clinic a generally rewarding experience with the exception of junior prosthodontics. He readily admits, however, that the ship has a bright future. His interests include electronics, camping, shooting, waterskiing, loud music, and maintaining the beast. He found P.VV.'s a rather friendly establishment conductive to escaping the daily tribulations of dental school. The bizarre occurrences at Military Road also contributed to a general state of euphoria. Rich's future is undecided at this point, but further education seems enticing. Rich dedicated this page to his parents for their encouragement and support but, more importantly, for being his best friends for as long as he can remember. He also thanks Aileen, Denise, and Tish for perpetuating his smile. Needless to say, he appreciates that all- important contribution by all his friends tespecially Tom, Mick, and The Chiefl so essential to survival through school, specifically, hu- mor.
