BRUCE E. WILLIAMS Bruce, in his odiferous way, tried not to allow dental school to interfere with his life style in Venice. He and his wife Mary are moving to King City where Bruce will be wor king with a government dental clinic. After that, he plans to con- tinue his leather crafts and open a practice in a magic mush- room forest. EDWIN M. WILLIAMS Raised in ALbequerque New Mexico, where he learned to fly his father ' s jet and break his legs and arms skiing, Mike had to fight the urge to study while in dental school. His activities as a charter member in the Delta Sigma Delta fra- ternity helped these desires. After graduation, he goes to Nevada, where he is stationed in the Navy, after that, who knows? JERARD WILSON Jerry has the only mobile cubicle that needs a caddy to move it. He has sworn not to allow dentistry to interfere with his golf game. When asked about requirements, Jerry replied: you have to be fourteen and have your own clubs. He and his wife Sharon plan to have a family large enough to coach and man a yacht to sail around the world. KENNETH Y. YAMANAKA Winning at poker against the devious antics of his room mate, Paul Zinn, was Ken ' s greatest achievement while in school. Followed closely by his completion of requirements and ability to look like everyone else in the class. He was often confused with Yoshioka while sleeping through lectures. Private practice and restoring a vintage World War II fighter are his present goals. . .Bonzai. 51 juHjr ' ' ■ (

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

LARRY M. YOSHIOKA It is rumored that Larry thought he was in medical school until one day in the sophomore year he woke up while Dr. Flocken was listing his famous fourteen points. His interests in oral surgery have led Larry to the emergency clinic for the last two years, most of the nurses thought he was an intern the way he slept all the time. His black belt in Akido has helped in his duties as enforcer for the Delta Sigma Delta Fraternity. CRAIG T. ZELENKA The Big Z is an ardent fan of the Kawasaki Samuri, which may explain the remarkable stand up, sit down dentistry positions he uses. Together with his wife Barbara, he enjoys motorcycling, skiing and spectator sports, especially the Thursday night fights at the Olympic. He plans to enter the Air Force, after which Craig will open a private practice. PAUL L. ZINN Fleet of foot and mouth, Paul will always be remembered for his terse comments as he walked out of every test, the first one finished. He was always a potent weapon on the basketball courts or in arguments with the faculty. After an associate- ship, he plans to open shop in El Centro, California, where ever that is. 52
