r Starrie Lowe D.D.S. George Maddox ll D. D. S. Starrie, generally considered to be one of the fastest operators in the clinic, has recently revealed that her phenomenal success was the direct result of avoiding all prep checks by feigning a language barrier. In addition to her clinical activities and the aggravation associated with it, Starrie has somehow found time to take up tennis, swimming, sailing lessons, taking little Starrie, Stella and Steve to school, cooking three meals a day fnever missing onel, checking the kids' homework, doing wax ups at home, and keeping Peter happy all before her 9:00 a.m. patient. After graduation, Starrie expects to open up solo practice where she wants to have the best location, the best equipment, the best hygienists, the best assistants and the best patients fpayingi, which means that most of her time will be spent avoiding her 200 relatives seeking free dental work. Due to an error in his creation, the original George W. Maddox was a do-over so a II was added to his name. One of the famed Maddox Brothers, George terror- ized the wrestling teams at Cerritos College for two years to the tune of George of the Jungle. Having decided to pursue a career in dentistry, George came to UCLA after decid- ing that psychology would provide a better background for dentistry. As an avid sportsman at UCLA, George invented a new sport called The First Date Homerun , more commonly known as The Score. The sport consists of two teams of one player each, usually a male and a female. The rules of the game are some- what obscure, but George is an avid player even though he often ends up beating himself. As one of the easiest going characters in our class, we can be sure that wherever George opens up practice, the grass will always be greener.

'?l Felix, a graduate of Figueroa College, has, over the course of four years managed to blend into the UCLA scene with the solubility of oil and water as evidenced by our occasional glimpses of him as he quietly snuck over to the other side at the UCLA-USC games. Being the only person in the class with three last names has given Feefer an ob- sessive complex to buy three of everything including assistants, one phone call to the Eastside and S.S. White's dividends go up three points. Buying is not the only hobby to which Felix holds claim. As the only hubby to feel the seven-year-itch in three years, Feefer has managed to accumulate more one- visit erio atients than Craven He still maintains that those afternoon luncheons Felix Martin Del Campo D.D.S.

Never one to think in small terms, our in-house Mobile Clinic director plans to supplement his private practice by buying out the SS White warehouse and turning it into a 1,400 chair community clinic. sonality, Sam Buena Ventura's own out of gas on her daily journeys to 'mrs Helen and Jarvis maybe, but not Virginia. Known for her hard work and warm per- Virginia became an instant inspiration to her fellow dental students. Talk about devotion - she was so intent on attending all those 8:00 a.m. lectures that her poor VW was starved for oil and sometimes school. Talk about boundless energy - helping run the UCLA mobile clinic on Saturdays and propagating fuscias on Sundays were not enough. She even had it in her to keep all her Group B cubi- cle mates company while working late in clinic Monday through Friday nights. And talk about a future - with her hus- band Wally and her daughter Lauren be- side her, one of our future super dentists will be roughing life in an associateship in Hollywood just 5 minutes from home 1 and in a brand new office.
