via l . X Norma, Group C's answer to Starrie Lowe, has shown us that everything will pass as long as your instructor thinks you're pregnant. Having exhausted this trick, Norma turned the tables on us and had two for real. Since she used to spend a great deal of time driving in daily from Cerritos, Norma found that there wasn't enough time to take care of her pour ups and investing after dismissing her patients. They always closed the labs too early. However, resourceful Norma discovered the magic words to unlock the lab after hours: Open the door Jeff, I have ONE more thing to do. Norma has since moved closer to campus, but the magic Lane Scarisbrick D. D. S. still works. If she doesn't decide to have another baby, Norma will probably be able to find an associateship wherever she wants: Please hire me Doctor, I just need one more patient and . . . +I' Norma Ruiz D.D.S. l l 1 l Although Lane rarely set foot in lecture or even the clinic for that matter, dental school did manage to develop a number of his talents. Among these talents were his sleight of hand lobserved by many and trusted by fewl and a profound respect for his comrades: You guys are plain inferior. Lane had better things to do than hang around school. Making money seemed more pleasant. The Dynamic Uno minus One spent most of his time either working at Hughes as a systems analyst, working for Dr. Marcus in lieu of taking Public Health requirements, or performing magic shows for faculty members for 520. an hour. When he did manage to drop by, the clinic welcomed him with open arms by al lowing him to complete his Fixed requirements by cutting only ten preps lie six anterior bridgesl and offering him partial patients who needed no perio, operative, or fixed. After graduation, Lane will probably retire and live on the wealth he accumulated while the rest of us slaved on the clinic floor.

.nr Roger Rivera D.D.S. William Rodriquenz D. D.S. wrvxpv SQ' Dazzling Roger, who incidentally no longer answers to the name of Harpo has un- dergone a startling metamorphosis in the past four years. We no longer see his hyper antics which led Rimio to liken him to a chicken with its tail on fire. Roger has finally mellowed out. Apparently the clinic has been good to Rivera since even his speech has slowed to the point where some people can now understand what he's saying. We're not sure why, but it has been suggested that he uses up most of his excess energy by having to 'push his tired old blue Mustang over the Sepulveda hill in order to get to school. He'd rather take the VW, but he'd have to push it just to get it out of the garage. Postgraduation plans for Roger are as yet undetermined. Wherever he goes we're hoping he makes enough cash to pay for tow trucks or cab fare. ' 'J e As a child growing up in a small town outside of Boston, William Rodriquenz was smaller than most, even his grade school sweetheart, Susan lnow Mrs. Rodriquenzl used to pick on him. One day after he had told her that 9 years old is still too young to get married, she bashed him on the head with a rock. He has since been known to his friends as Rocky. That particular rock caused more damage than anyone expected as he later decided to become a dentist. Of course, Rocky has other interests, but they all seem to center around playing basketball with the big kids. Regular workouts hoisting mugs of beer at lVlcGintys has kept his shooting arm in shape. A philanthropist at heart, Rocky has also managed to keep food on the tables of many local car dealers by buying five cars in three and a half years. After graduation, Rocky plans to enter the Public Health Service and hopes to be assigned to some small rural com- munity somewhere in the hills behind Stanford. is:-if-Q

Likes and , ,Psi-'. Dislikes i We .Q W W ' W 1 I 'Q ' I V . r iz 'E is i Jon first had inklings that he was destined to enter the surgical profession when his ' jon Scarf D.D.S. father placed a scalpel near his crib. He cut himself, naturally, but even today, he still recounts as how it was a neat, clean incision. Despite his obvious talent, Jon opted to take up UCD cow college pre-med after an illustrious career as a high school free-thrower. Overcoming this insanity, he even- tually drifted to UCLA. Jon's first two years were reasonably successful, but was inclined to ponder his future when Operative and Fixed hinted that his best laboratory performances were in gross anatomy. Years from now, Jon will still be found working late into the night filling out oral surgery applications, his favorite pastime when bored. When Jon tires of working with his hands, he will probably switch to his feet, which are well versed in the art of Ken-do, demonstrating how far he will go to keep from using his head. Greg Schinnerer .f-nd Dr. Schinnerer has the unique privilege of being the only student in the school who has never heard his name paged correctly. However, after two glorious years, he has developed the ability to respond to that voice in the ceiling call- ing for Dr. Schinininer. A real go-getter, Greg got right into crown and bridge by cutting his first prep early in our Junior summer, Un- fortunately, it was not cemented until twenty cancellations and 18 months had passed - score one for Dwight. D.D.S. But Greg did manage to survive dental school with an easy going nature that eased him through cancellations and trauma that would have caused others to crumble, especially when one re- members that he has unsuccessfully at- tempted to finish his exams before Ted for four years. For the future, we will be sure to see Dr. Schinninnerer in Air Force blue, ful- fulfilling his desire to become a spaced cadet. YN 'N lg 3 . , A . J
