Tony left sunny Pomona to attend Arizona Pharmacy School. He came to us early in his career as a hospital pharmacist because as he puts it, I want to be my own boss. Tiring of the bureaucracy of the hospital, he decided that he needed a change of pace and settled for the dental school bureaucracy. How- ever, he was the only one of us who didn't have to worry about passing Pharmacology. Always one to enjoy bolstering the economy, Tony spent most of his weekends earning pennies at a part time pharmacist job and then promptly putting them into circulation by buying various little goodies. He sold his Renault and bought a Volksg he then got rid of the Volks and bought a Mustang II, at the end of the junior year, he sold the Mustang got a new Triumph TR 7 and an elephantine Buick station wagon. Tony's postgraduation plans will be to open a high volume dental practice in Pomona if the new car dealers can supply the cars. :Q ...nd f Vic, who has left a string of broken hearts land other consequences! around the country, has, in his four years with us, established himself as the undisputed king of the Midnight Pickup. Armed with a Jaguar XK-E and a cunningly in- nocent smile, Cano has made his famous But this time it's TRUE love line work more times than Mark Gjerde's crowns. Vic's good nature and love of life en- abled him to handle his patients with the skill of a true medical man. How- ever, it was in such a nonchalant manner that he was often mistaken for Dr. Diamond. Though temporarily out of commission last year, swinging Vic is once again in circulation in search of the elusive posterior. After graduation, Vic's private practice will in all probability make Big Daddy's in the Marina look like a senior citizens home. Tony Cabrera D. D.S. Vic Cano D.D.S. 1'

Jeff Brown -- a simple name . . . a simple guy . . . and just chock full of a few simple thoughts. But what can you say about a guy whose sole ambition is to get tubular ? By keeping the mental activity to a minimum, he frees his head to do truly important things, like growing hair and remembering his name. Of course, Jeff is married, but he has a wife, and it is she that dresses him funny. In addition to staying perpetually hopped up on Lavoris, Jeff also suffers from lethargy, hallucinations, inability to cope, polyphagia, xerostomia, and shortness of pants. An ardent mud-wrestling freak, Jeff plans to move to San Diego, because it's there. His hobbies include stumbling ,eff Bfgwn and disorientation. Postgraduate plans call for getting tubular, watching TV, and , D. being forgotten.

He took a deep breath Kcoughl, and left his friends, family, and his second home, la diesel moving vanl to head out west and pursue an illustrious career at UCLA Dental Trade Tech Dental school administrators were amazed at Dave's ability to jump on a centrifuge and cast the buckle on his pants without dropping them once. If Dave had concentrated on Crown and Bridge instead of holding up his pants, he could have completed his fixed by April . . . of his junior year. Quiet Dave released his vice-like grip on his Midwest Quiet Air long enough to realize that playing with dolls wasn't that bad after all, especially one called the Bobbie doll. In fact, it was so much fun, he took his doll home. The rest is history. Noontime brushing in Group C and obviously not all work because now Dave and Bobbie are seriously looking into storks and booties. Dave is one heck of a nice guy and we'lI miss him when he points his Ranchero ,fy towards the rising sun to drill and fill with his big daddy in San Bernadino. ,TQ 1 14 l ,V .will Fifill u.1 aw:liI v-a S , T lil 1-Q pant - 'V --1 chili, - '--'Q

Rick Champany l One of the mellowest characters around our school is the Champ. As one of the regulars in the back row, Rick entertained us with stories of wine and roses in his younger days. Especially when he recounts his experience as a high school bus driver. A familiar sight around the clinic is Champ's tan covered, resin dripping Pipe. Alfh0U9h he claims to have a sub- stantial collection of other pipes to smoke, the stalactifical formation on the bottom lead one to suspect otherwise. Still, Rick's even disposition has been his greatest asset. After all, who else would light a match, take a puff and f shrug when told his last partial was un- acceptable the week before graduation? D. D. S. Vrv ,, ff., A 3 l i 5 I As a product of Las Vegas, Steve once had early ambitions of becoming a topless blackjack dealer or a one-armed bandit. The city life of LA and USC provided bigger and better horizons for him, so he became obsessed with an uncontrollable urge to express his creativity by bending a wire. Dental school has developed Steve into one helluva skier and upon graduation, he'll probably be totally prepared to open a photography studio as well. He has excelled in all aspects of our curriculum except the financial end. He knew he was weak in finance lor he would have never left the Vegas Strip,l so he began research with the billing department to learn about a specific Matter. In 'his zealous pursuit to do a good job in this endeavor, Steve distinguished himself by becoming the first dental student to have a girl from billing assigned to him full time for his accounts and personal needs. We can all join President Ford in wishing them a happy marriage. Steve's next step in life will find him in Ortho school. We're hoping Unitek has plenty of .030 wire in stock.
