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

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.

Scum has had a very illustrious career in his four years at UCLA, the highlight of which involved being dragged before the clinic's high tribunal for allegedly swearing in front of a certain group re- ceptionist. In his defense, Steve could only reply that he didn't see her because she was standing sideways. Running a close second to this was an incident where he calmly advised a patient to l ' bring it in tomorrow after an instructor dropped Steve's first dowel core down the chute . if Steve was also noted as being one of the best humorists in the class, not for his humor per se, but for the endless volume and unintelligibility of his jokes. It seemed that the only reason he ever left the clinic was to run home and get more material from his 4 year old son. Steve Schumm D.D.S. When asked about his future, Steve re- plies that he has only two goals: first, To become a competent and successful dentist , and second, . . . to be mis- taken for a towel in the Hygienists' shower room. is I Steve Scott was always a distinctive member of the Class of '76, In lecture or clinic, Steve's resonant foghorn-like voice could often be heard above the din somewhat reminiscent of the fact that ships in the biggest fog make the loudest noise. However, in a binder note, several misconceptions about Steve should be cleared up: lll he did not win the Dr. George Fischbeck look-alike contest, and C23 Steve is not now, nor has he ever been, related to Donald Duck. Generally speaking lwhich Steve generally isl, you can always count on the fact that when there is nothing more to be said, Steve's still saying it, especially to his instructors. But of all the members of the class, Steve will undoubtedly emerge with the least damage to his psyche of anyone, certainly to his credit if not to the school's. 62 Steve Scott D.D.S.
