Showing up only for finals, sometimes not even then, and still passing by some mechanism unbeknownst to us, she replies Brains.

Ray Abdalla D. D. 5. -ark-5 l Nick Adamenko D.D.S. X Ray, the English prof of the class was more fond of Marlow and Fitzgerald than anything dental school had to offer. Having received a B.A. in English, Ray was heard to remark that the metamorphosis from egghead to jawbreaker had led him to demon to- I bacco. One might think than an English ' I' major would not adequately prepare a student for dental education. Ray proved us wrong. Known as the Anatomy Wiz, he not only excelled in the basic sciences, but also fre- quently acted as an interpreter for the L1 . class, giving a thirty second synopsis of one hour lectures. During finals, Ray fancied himself as more of a carpenter than a dental stu- A.-I dent. Not one finals week passed that did not find Ray building anything from a bookcase, to a dinette set, to even remodeling his kitchen. Ray plans to open a practice in Santa Monica-Westwood area to, as he states, . . . aquire the finer things in life. Known in his earlier days by his dedication to his portable tape machine, and later on by a similar degree of concern for the welfare of his patients, Nick has con- sistently given the impression of one who would rather not stand still. Thus limiting his options, Nick will always be remembered by his classmates as the one best able to light a bonfire under himself and carry it with him to any part of the building. Being the most complete student in the class, Nick was necessarily the most completely busy student as well. Not that this kept him from his hobbies. One could often find him in a hotly contested game of chess at, say, 3:00 in the morning. Yet Nick's dedication to his studies was real, and is a sure indicator of his future success in private practice. Nick hopes to spend a few years with the Air Force first, and will most likely be the first enlistee in the U.S. Armed Forces history to move faster than a F4-C.

That cascade of surrealistic giggles emanating from Group D has become her trademark, calling card, and mating call. Still as yet unbeaten however, is her record breaking talent for having dated a multitude of instructors lno matter how loudly they protestedl and fellow students. tNo matter how much they insist that . . . we're just friends. l fxfwstikmiw Hr? -I ft f, ' if .

Postgraduation plans will find Birdie winging her way north to practice Mennonite dentistry in Pennsylvania. Our loss will be their gain. After all, a bird in their hand. Larry provided the class with initial clues to his actual age during the freshman year. His constant call for a break indicated his weakening bladder sphincter. Actually, Larry has managed to keep in shape during the past four years by doing toe raises every saturday morning while playing basketball with the boys. At the end of his sophomore year, rumor has it that Larry made Dr. Trabert an offer he couldn't refuse. Now Ken is in an Endo program and Larry is in the clinic. Once in clinic, however, Larry proved to be a smooth operator and free thinker. His loud bellowing voice made his patients stand at attention. So a directive was passed to tape his mouth during clinic hours. Actually Groups G and H didn't know if they were in ROTC maneuvers or in Disneyland. H-yuk, h-yuk, h-yuk! One of the most sincere, friendly, and likeable members of the class, Larry should have no problems in private practice las long as he provides patient ear- plugs.l To Larry, his sparkling wife, Doris, and daughter Christine . . . the best in life for years to come and power to the Class III.
