YOLANDA ZIFF D.D.S. Graduating from Fairfax High in '62 Yolanda completed her pre-dent re- quirements at UCLA. Being unsure as which prerequisites were actually needed, Yolanda sought to cover all the bases by including everything from conversa- tional Italian to Byzantine history, when, in reality, UC LA only required the latter. Both Yolanda and her husband, Robert, a computor scientist at Hughes, consider their favorite pastimes to be European travel and anything else as long as it doesn't occur within five miles of the clinic.

Although most of his time was spent helping his instructors clear up their misconceptions and patiently advising ' 1 them when they ran into cases too diffi- cult for them to handle. Ken also man- aged to extend his high standards of ethics and performance as the director of the Asian Dental Clinic even though Jim Stevens claims Ken is too tall to be considered Asian. Having completed his requirements six months early, Yoshi has spurned the idea of early graduation and taken the opportunity to study advanced ortho- dontics.
