U -I g. 'J . T - , Ron Evans D. D.S. ' 4 L Mark hitchhiked hiswayto UCLA from his beloved state of New York by posing as Groucho Marx, handing out cigars, and promising S500 to the drivers if they ran over a duck en route. The highlight of Mark's life, however, came while staying at Keams Canyon. There, Mark's dream came alive, i.e., creating doctor-patient relationship by challenging the Indian Staff to pool, ping-pong, baseball, and basketball. It wasn't until he had returned to UCLA that he discovered he'd forgotten to insert their dentures. Although infinitely loyal to his home state tshort of donating moneyi, returning to the East Coast does not appear to be included in his plans. Apparently Mark has come across an interesting antibody in the Biochemistry Research Department which has been depleting his physical reserves. When questioned, Mark has coyly refused to mention names. Whoever she is, we can thank her for keeping Mark's New Yawk accent and Mr. Nice Guy attitude with us in California. For the past four years, 'Arnold the Greek' has generally been accepted as being the originator of the DAT vocabulary test. Coming to us from Fresno, California, with the nickname 'Microcosomis Vernacularis,' was the main reason dental school could not turn him down. Ron's abilities, however, didn't stop at four letter words. He's also shown him- self to be a proven asset on the intra- mural football, basketball, and base- ball teams. In return for his all night 'bring your best parts' parties, dental school has also given him snow skiing, golf partners, fright, Chow?l and Sue Soltes. A well rounded and well liked guy, we're sure Ron will fend quite well despite his two deficiencies: birthplace and his cranial glare.

She had the only complete set of notes for the psychology of Patient Management class last fall. Complete with illustra- tions, critique, and the guest lecturer's astrological forecast. A conscientious operator and perfection- ist at heart, Ann has become famous for her monumental battles in the clinic with Dr. Standlee. She describes them as The Battle with the Bulge. The summer of '76 will probably see - Ann pushing her beloved VW Beetle in ' the general direction of Sacramento. If . you ever see a flashing red emergency beacon on Highway 99, stop and give a hand, it'II probably be Ann's blushing complection. i., I ' - 'f' f -.

After many failures in various intellectual endeavors, he dispairingly concluded that he would never become the ruler of anything. He resigned himself to utter futility until one day a letter arrives from UC LA informing him of his acceptance to Dental School. This, needless to say, caught him by sur- prise since he hadn't even applied. Once here, Jimmy found that Dentistry was not for him. Were it not for intra- mural Sports, he would have left us long ago. Golf is Jimmy's real love, but those of us who know him, still can't understand how he can putt so well with such a short putter. Jimmy's plans after graduation are to shoot subpar on a miniature golf course and practice dentistry long enough to pay for his green fees.

jim Fabozzi D.D.S. Roger Fenton D.D.S. --.ivw --.V -.T-U--1 +,m, , 124- -3, - , : ' 'lm F it-af-'14 rj- .l fps. A whining Quiet Air, a cloud of tooth V dust, and a hearty Time for a cup? Jim Fabozzi drills again. With his faith- ' ful DAU companion, Linda, this daring and resourceful bearded wonder leads a never ending battle for pulp horns and Friday golf in old Group A. Although normally a connoisseur of the finer things in life such as line drawing and expensive restaurants, lunch hour would usually find him sitting at the Bomb Shelter drinking his and every one eIse's coffee. In spite of the financial burdens of den- tal school, he managed to come to school driving a VW and leave driving a new 280 Z lDue partly to his work drawing blood at the hospital and partly to his wife's job.l All in all, Fabozzi will be best remem- bered by all of us for his friendly manner, distinctive laugh, and insati- able need for caffeine. Roger is one of the many in our class who have spent a period of time in other fields prior to starting dental school. He has an easy-going personality that allows him to easily deal with most people and situations. However, his experience here has not been without some difficulties. Initially, Roger selected a low-profile stance to survive the rigors of dental school. He followed this plan closely at first, but after starting work in the clinic, he seemed to forget his plan completely. Roger did not seem to realize that low-profile did not include explaining the duties and responsibilities of a group director to a group director, nor did he realize that campaigning to prevent the reduction of clinic hours did not fall within this realm. One of the most difficult situations Roger faced in coping with dental school was future shock in reverse: twentieth century technology in a world where fourteenth century craftsmanship was revered. Upon graduation, Roger will be taking over a practice in Huntington Beach with his brother. With his personality and capabilities, he should find success with ease.
