STEPHEN]. RUBINKAN Setting up practice in Orange County, Ruby is another of the few who is entering private practice cold turkey. He will be known forever in dental school and at Mom ' s for his one sec- ond record gulp of beer and his two way record for drinking a pitcher of beer: fifteen seconds down and four seconds up. LEE H. SARTY Lee is the only Canadian to come to the U. S. to dodge the draft. After years in the dregs of the Cal Long Beach Zoo department, he was inspired to come to UCLA. Even though he was the leader of the wild bunch at the Kismet, Sarty still found time for his lovely wife Laurel. During his internship in the Navy he plans to practice veterinary medicine and later to set up a private practice. BRIAN M. SMITH Brian was a serious student and a hard core Mormon. Aside from sports, he spent most of his time trying to make ends meet like everyone else with a wife and children. However, having a family provided him with many enjoyable hours be- tween studying and lab work. After the Air Force, he plans to put his education to work in private practice. STEPHEN F. SMITH Continuing a trek that began at Occidental, where he met and married his sweetheart of two and one half years, Elyse; migrating on to Westwood, Venice, Topanga, and lastly to the outback of the Valley, Smith 2 will now see the world in the smock and crewcut of a Navy dentist. Dividing his time between teaching Jiid, his Samoyed, to wax margins and his agricultural business, Steve has set a prodigious example by having at least fifteen contact points on each cusp. 47

RICHARD C. OSBORN Ozzie hit UCLA after a grueling four years at UCSB. He main- tained his pace and soon became known as the class red hot. His pastime, until Tina, included swimming in Beer at Mom ' s and lecturing at Ledbetters. After a tour in the Navy, he plans to open a practice and specialize in dentistry. JACK L. PENIX Regent scholar and hard nosed radical, Jack has been the style setter of the class of 1970. He has convinced the Removable Department and the green wonder that long hair, Nehru collars and good dentistry do mix. Jack ' s greatest ambition is to be- come an oral surgeon, transplanting happiness wherever he goes. GEORGE F. RICHARDS III After graduation, George plans to enter the Air Force to bring the family coffers into the black. He and his wife wanted a large family and got an early start as Linda gave birth to two children during the past four years. His favorite pastime is arguing with Linda to keep in practice to shoot down Dr. Chaconas. LEO P. ROBERTS Leo, the fast talking Edward G. Robinson look alike has an affinity for double breasted suits and has an amazing ability with gold foil or any other dental procedure. Leo is torn between skiing, photography and dentistry, but has agreed to enter practice with Dr. Mintz for his lab technician. As a hard worker for the class, he says social science was his main concern and joy during dental school. Amen. 46

RONALD W. THOMPSON Speed was another of those agitators that helped to keep the school straight, after the first quarter, he was never called on to answer questions. He posed as a zoiT±)ie on the first Path exam, after staying up all night to deliver his first child, Sean. Ron plans to study silicone injections and set up prac- tice after a stint in the Public Health Service. CHRISTOPHER A. UPHAiM The last of the hard core agitators will always be remembered by the faculty after his precise summary of the class attitudes at graduation. The stork has always been a fun loving, serious student whose motto as a Delt was work hard and play hard. This he did as class Social Chairman, later as Senior Class President, and in Oral Surgery and Anesthesiology. Being recognised as a leader in Anesthesiology, Chris will be start- ing the Dental residency program at Harbor Hospital. KENNETH D. USLAN Facing school with a smile was his motto, he was receiving a 5% kickback from the clinic fees. Ken was also treasurer of Delta Sigma Delta Fraternity even though he was not a mem- ber, a neat trick indeed, but this is what comes from those frequent trips south of the border. World travel and a prac- tice A donde se habla Espanol are his destinies. RAYMOND S. WHANG Entering dental school after a tour of duty in the army and receiving a B. S. degree from Harvard, Ray was always a conscientous and persistent student. Ray was another man in the class who had a wife and two children, and spent most of his spare time with his family. He plans to re-enter the Army after graduation, possibly for a career. 50
