9'3 Bob Tovsrud D.D.S. During the Jurassic age there came to the world a baby with thinning temples and a moustache named Doug Vargas. Actually Doug is really not that old. He merely looked that way after an entire year as the Sophomore class president. Fortunately, Doug, like the mythical magician Merlin has since started to grow younger by trading in his spare tire for a space-saver spare and ex- terminating that renegade caterpillar on his lip. One of Doug's favorite pastimes is re- calling his days as a Public Health in- spector. This usually comes in the form of horror stories above restaurant kitch- ens, usually about the time we are being served lunch at a Westwood restaurant. Doug confesses that he has wrung out an occasional free meal by whipping out his inspector's badge but denies that there is any conflict with DENTAL ethics. For the future, Doug will probably find contentment in a private practice with immunity from Public Health inspec- tions. Silent and solemn Bob is indeed a man of mystery. Emerging occasionally from the dim catacombs of his cubicle, it has been rumored but never satisfactorily proven that he occasionally engages in conversation more than once a day. The mystery deepens when certain questions are posed to us by one of his close friends. Is it true that Bob would rather follow the sun and play tennis than cut sharp line angles? How is it possible for him to excel academically and yet never be seen in class? Is it true that Bob has been seen playing tennis at the Dean's private courts in Trousdale Estates and rubbing shoulders with Wilt Chamberlain? Was Wilt photographed recently sporting a Class V foil? We may never find the answers to these and other trivial questions until Bob smokes up with us again. Dean who? Hello - Dr. Ruhlman? Doug Vargas D.D.S.

' - Forsaking his beloved Sedro-Wooley, Washington, Chris eventually gravitated toward the glamor of San Gabriel. There he attended high school and played football for four years with Rocky Rodriquenz. A jock through and through, he was also able to earn varsity letters in both track and bird watching. When Chris first came to us in '72, he was constantly at work trying to main- tain a part in his hairy something like the Pharaoh trying to part the Red Sea. However, having seen the light during his junior year, Chris decided to let it go natural stating that A man's per- sonality is in his hair. , An avid outdoorsman, Chris has a Ewell ChflS ThOfTlpSOn Gibbons fascination for hiking and has been known to have done things on skis D. M.D. that were thought to be unethical. For the future, Chris has three goals, none of which are definitep ll graduate on time, 21 enter the Public Health Service, and 37 lock horns with Denise.

Jude came to us, initially, with a degree in physical therapy and will leave not only with a D.D.S. but also with a NIRS. and an Nl.D. lcourtesy of Frankl. Since Frank retired from sky diving, Judy has ceased chewing her fingernails to the knuckles and has been enjoying those rare moments where they both have free time together skiing, sailing with friends and camping. Judy has always had a soft spot for animals and both her horse Babe and her two frisky felines stand a good chance of being joined someday by a chimpanzee and a lion cub if Jude has her say. With Frank on an emergency medicine residency Jude figures that her choices for future dentistry will probably be somewhere in Fresno or the Bay area. Actually, Judy doesn't really care where, just as long as she doesn't have the San Diego Freeway for a backyard anymore.

Charles Wilson D.D.S. Charlie is one of the few Longhorns lShorthorns?J from Amarillo, Texas who doesn't know how to talk like Gomer Pyle. Apparently, doing time in BYU has smoothed his rustic nature although he still has to consciously suppress his desire to order red-eye at the cafe- teria. Although modest and conservative by nature, Chuck managed to gain a sig- nificant amount of notoriety during our Sophomore year by extending the out- line form of an operative practical be- yond the contact and onto his fingers, by taking four days to recover from our blood drawing lab, and finishing a state board set up in two hours. CharIie's future lies in a private prac- tice specializing in saving souls and an occasional tooth in Southern California. Dave is a native of Fresno, California, and therefore brings to us prestige and stat ure equivalent to a terminal case of acne Actually Dave has shown himself to be an exceptional clinician and has more than once been called upon by the Removable department to treat cases which were beyond the skills of his fellow students Dave eventually learned that this scription applied to patients that they dldn't even want to see In private practice Consequently Dave has a keen desire to go into oral surgery and let someone else worry about the damn dentures. After he bruxes through his third occlusal night guard, Dave will be snagged by the U S Army where he will be the mam subject for their research Into the toxic ef Da Wilson felcts of nocturnally ingested acrylic D.D.S. virgin .. lr, 2'-.
