Scooby had to get into the field of dentistry to support his habit: apparently Scoob has got a Lotus on his back. Actually, Scoob was overjoyed at the technology which the dental school was able to provide since it made it easier for him to fabricate Lotus Elan parts. Only the Scoob would have the nerve to burn up a 157.00 diamond bur to fabricate a part he could have bought for 506. John's only complaint with UCLA is that 'FL his contention that 30 PSI is too weak to power his Quiet-Air fast enough to finish his patients by 3:00 p.m. Conse- quently Scoob is presently in the process of adapting his hi-speed to a Weber- carburated, 200 horsepower Lotus twin- cam. We'd like to see what happens if a bur breaks. Scooby dooby doo where are you? john Kouba D. D. S. , Ml, 'KZQ4 f T X Long, lean Jack, one of the select group of good guys from L.A. decided to attend UCLA rather than leave The Basin , not from any undying loyalty, but primarily because he had developed an addiction to smog. Jack is known by the Class of '76 in many respects, but particularly for his scholastic achievements. This is exemplified by Jack's being chosen as the first dental stu- dent to be awarded the Bat Rack Scholarship. This scholarship is awarded an- nually to the dental student showing the most promise in conscious sedation. During the past four years of his dental education, Jack has repeatedly proven his inherent talent in this area, especially during lectures. During clinic, Jack's patients undoubtedly found him easy-going and likable-- especially when he was conscious. Jack plans to carry out his many fine attributes into a general practice somewhere in the L.A. area. Q0 lack Kurtz D. D.S.

i i Karl Kawakami, or Nlr. Postman of C.A.S.O., is known in the clinic as being a hard worker and conscientious operator. Outside of the clinic, though,we remember him as being the one who laughed through the EXORCIST and rooted for the shark while drinking his Chivas during JA WS. Despite his many achievements, Karl is still to be congratulated for: tal being the only one who had to do an immediate denture for a hemophiliac, tbl scaling all of his patients with only a Barnhardt 1-2, tcl threatening Pedo patients with treat- ment from Dr. Gershen, and tdl for being the only one who could sleep through Oral Surgery and tie for top score on the final. lVluch of his success in the clinic, though, must go to his girlfriend, Jean, who put him through Junior and Senior year with her six Class II's. Karl's future plans include a general practice residency program, followed by an L.A. associateship and a starring role in Marcus Gannon, D.D.S. ti gg ,ir Fl Evelyn Kennedy moms, D.D.S. in ' 1 X . Karl Kawakami D.D.S. D 1 Over the course of four years, Evelyn - has never once missed sitting front row, center with Starrie and IVIudd, and thus led some of the class to believe that somewhere along the line someone Y was sell ing season tickets to the lecture if. As a part time hygienist for Ronnie H., Evelyn was never as short of cash as .- she was for time, which led to a Hutchison-like speed in the clinic. Her blinding speed in the operatory, however, did not prevent her from developing a meaningful doctor-patient relationship with Rigg to the point of throwing in the cookies and marrying him. After a probable post grad Perio program, Evelyn will finally get a chance to SEE what she is scaling in private practice periodontics.
