RICHARD V. BENNETT La Jolla, Calif. San Diego State PS! OMEGA Dick, who apparently works on a forty hour day, has financed his education by being a one- man commercial lab and one he can be justly proud of. Some who have seen the ease and speed with which he handles this sort of work believe he was born on a lab bench. Dick also finds time to hunt, fish, and swim. He is an expert at all three and enjoys them with his lovely wife, Lorraine. Dick ' s skill and speed have made him one of our finest operators. His personality and ability will no doubt put him in good standing wherever he chooses to locate. ROBERT BERCU Denver, Colorado University of Utah, U S C ALPHA TAU EPSILON This ex-captain of the Army Air Corp thought there must be something in life as thrilling as flying so he chose Dentistry. (Don ' t get him started on his War Stories.) Thinking that USC would be a good place to hide out from all the girls who were chasing him, this mature, dapper dandy enrolled. Bob has nearly as many angles as Bill Molle — and loves to work in crown and bridge cause he and Dr. Avak are drinking buddies. He ought to do well in Dentistry because he is an excellent stu- dent (ATE), sharp operator, and with his gift of gab will be a shining star in the firmament of Dentistry.

C, University of Oregon DELTA SIGMA DELTA, SIGMA ALPHA EPSILON, ALPHA TAU EPSILON Affectionately known as Slimy, Dick evolved a sensational idea in his freshman year. Halfway through the year he said somebody stole his wax teeth carvings. Everyone felt sorry for him so each of his friends carved a tooth for him while he scabbed on his bridge. Very clever! Dick calls Glendale home where he harbors his wife Marilyn and son Rickey, Jr. They say that he got into ATE because he could pack more foil into the distal of a cuspid than anyone else in the class (24 grains yet!). Dick served as president of said organization quite ably and after graduation, like any true blue American youth, plans to sail away and fight our country ' s battles.

H. LYNN BROWN Los Angeles use PSI OMEGA, LAMBDA DELTA SIGMA The solid, quiet, middle-of-the-road citizen, Lynn slowly but surely pushed his way thru our school. Seldom was a nasty word spoken in the flatiron building, but what Lynn would admonish, What a raunch! A staunch Mormon, Lynn ' s honesty and good nature were always respected by his more raucous classmates. The Deacon tag materialized in our junior year, when Lynn began arbitrating close calls among the local society of penny pitchers. Before long he succumbed to the sport and excitement of it all, and began throwing his own coppers. If ever you want to see stars in his eyes, just ask him about Arlene, his wife, and their three children. He is justly proud of his family. In all seriousness, Lynn will unquestionably be a fine credit to his profession and a reflection of all the good things in a man. GENE BUBIEN Kenosha, Wisconsin UCLA PSI OMEGA, THETA DELTA CHI Four years ago, waiting in line to pick up our equipment, we heard a dull rumble coming up the stairs behind us — Here comes an introvert, was the consensus of opinion — as Gene hove info view. Butch haircut — Balboa Blues — Saddle shoes: Sowed off — broad shouldered — loud mouthed — bookie — that ' s Bruin Bubien. Encased in that vibrant little frame is a heart as big as his voice. He is always willing to lend a hand. The only guy to graduate without doing any scabbing, too. Summers and Co. will be ably assisted by this mighty midget as he desires to make Pedo his life ' s work. P- S. — Secret Ambition — To be Dean of the UCLA Dental School after he and Mac have raised a dozen little Bubiens.
