3527?- A Mark Gjerde D.D.S. While anxiously awaiting his acceptance to Colonel Sanders Academy of Fried Chicken operators, Gary received his invitation to attend dental school at UCLA. Figuring that this was merely some type of unusual prerequisite, Gary became one of the class's most diligent students. Gary's student file later be- came stuffed with flowing recommenda- tions from the sophomore lab janitors who were often welcomed by Gary at 2 a.m. to a piece of chicken and a can of beer. Finding the clinic game to be child's play, Gary tried to make the game more interesting by leaving open appoint- ments, and having his four patients cancel as many as frequently as possible. His efforts did not go unappreciated. Dr. Kaplan now congratulates him each time he seats a crown and shakes his hand each time he shows he can do a Gary France procedure more than once. After graduation, Gary plans to look for a chicken franchise with a drive thru practice in San Diego. . .,,aiF?'3'HM,Li..'- me A Ol' Dirty has got to be one of our most productive comrades. By Christmas of '75 he had completed more crowns than Rimio has hairs on his chest and more endos than Dr. Serene has uhs. Nlark has, we are forced to admit, worked hard to complete these units, but the general consensus is still that he turned in the same eight units under four different instructors. Mark has always had delusions of grandeur. In the coming years we will probably see a billboard in Sacramento flashing Dr. Gjerde has one hundred offices to serve you. In all fairness, though, Nlark is one of those people who works hard enough to make it look easy. Just remember - if you keep your chin up, someone -is sure to recommend a sagittal split. The moral has something to do with the reliability of the stars.

Richard Joseph Fernandez, alias the Mad Dicker , left the International Gym- nastics Team early in his career after discovering that he couIdn't pawn his medals without paying import duty. Shortly after entering dental school, Dickie re-entered the limelight by entertain- ing most of the class with spectacular debacles at his now legendary Hyperion Nightclub. As time passed, however, Dangling Dick grew weary of having his den of debouchery regularly visited by the new centurions, and retired to a quiet, modest S175,000 house in Venice complete with chauffered. limosine at a reason- able cost of nothing down and no monthly payments , certainly a notable achievement for someone who can't keep up the payments on his Opel. If Dickie decides to work for a living after he graduates, we can be sure that Joseph will find some way to make it as painless as me made it in school. Fong, the Hustler , came to us from The City lSan Francisco for the uninitiatedi with pool cue in hand and a munitions depot in the trunk of his car. A six year man with the U.S. Forest Service and a veteran of nearly 40 fires lcausing one to look at his smoking habit with suspicionl, Bill brought some of those flames to the clinic as he ments in record time. f 'F' On weekends, Bill feels that extended trips to the desert gives him the neces- - - sary release from the pressures of school. .. 4,1 ,- l1'f - One can only guess at what kind of pressures cause him to hunt ground i.,, , completed his fixed and partials require- lg J i align 'Eli' 54935 + -'1'-v I 'H' hz ', ' Lis -F. .

N X4 luan Gonzalez 5 Sebastian Glaze, known to some as the Panamanian PeriI has for the past four years, managed to elude all of our questions concerning his romantic interludes. We're not sure, but it has been suggested that it has something to do with his perpetual wearing of dark glasses and a mysterious lady in red. Always one for innovative ideas, Sebastian has become indelibly etched in Dr. MandeI's memory for his demonstrations of the bloodless alginate extraction technique. When not dubbing his voice for Un-Cola commercials, Sebastian can often been seen chugging around with his sidekick, Andy, performing bodyguard duties by swinging his purse to clear a path on his way to the top. .f 'Y ,gf P, V V l , fx-1 ,, .
