FRED LEE ADELSON, B. A. Cleveland, Ohio San Diego State DELTA SIGMA DELTA ALPHA TAU OMEGA LAMBDA DELTA DELTA BLUE KEY Fred spent most of every semester trying to stay in good graces with his girl friend, Gloria, in San Diego, and with only two weeks remaining in each semester, managed (only God and Amodei know how) to complete his work and come through smelling like a rose. Being very practical minded, he can occasionally be seen sitting in a dental chair at the clinic cleaning his own teeth while looking in his mouth mirror. He carries this same ' intestinal fortitude ' over to the Delt house where he is house manager and to Blue Key where he served as president. For his leadership ability, Fred was the only dental student to be selected in College Who ' s Who of 1954. At present (if Uncle Sam doesn ' t take him), Fred plans to associate in San Diego. ANDREW E. AMODEI, B. S. Monterey Park, Calif. Pasadena C. C, U S C PSI OMEGA, ALPHA TAU EPSILON Andrew M.O.D. Amodei was born and went through high school in Providence, Rhode Island. Two years as an army cook preceded his pre- dental work. This experience accounts, no doubt, for his money belt. Andy ' s unyielding attention to detail, combined with his ability will hold him in good stead as a dentist. As a freshman Andy won A.T.E. honors for his technique superiority. Good luck to another paisano in all of your efforts.
