ELMER K. CHU Kaunakakai, Molokai, Hawaii use Elmer was the original Hawaiian block-buster when he entered our institution four years ago. But carrying those fly-weight operative cases up and down the stairs at the clinic has trimmed Elmer down to a neat 180 lbs. so that by the time Elmer gets through at this place, he won ' t even be recognized by those hula dancers who are waiting for him with open arms. Elmer has really been a solid mainstay of our class for the past four years. His even disposition and genuine interest has been an inspiration to many of us. It is easy to see that he is a lad who is going to be a credit to our profession when he gets loose. So good luck, Elmer. It has been great having you with us. (JLXi Warno DONALD R. COUCH North Hollywood, Calif. Los Angeles C. C, Los Angeles State PSI OMEGA The Brown Bear was gifted with a pair of hands incapable of roiling a snowball, but with the uncanny ability to produce beautiful results. As a freshman, Don was elected vice president. His masterful direction of the Xmas play produced a hit long to be remembered. Socially well adjusted is the consensus of opinion. The cry of: Why can ' t I have Martinis — by fire light — on a bearskin rug — and the Romeo and Juliet Overture for Mood music? The answer is — who ' s house manager around here, anyway? Don ' s future plans include Ortho school, a trip to Europe, then dentistry. We who have associated with Don know that this North Hollywood lad will have little difficultly attaining his desired goals.

RALPH LAVERN CHRISTENSEN La Mesa, Calif. San Diego State College XI PSI PHI Another exponent of the wild blue yonder and known to his classmates as Chris, this likable fellow has spent a most adventurous four years at the SC Molar Mill. After encounters with lost wax teeth, dropped Freshman bridges. Biochemistry, and finally Perio bouts with Dr. Reeves, Cold Steel and Sun Light Christensen has decided that oral surgery is his field. Along with his natural ability in Dentistry, Chris is blessed (?) with that wonderful knack commonly known as Boogy-talk. He really has something to talk about now that he pulled the rug out from under Rex and Cobalt Charlie ' s cavity sterilizing technic. We ' re all certain of his success in Dentistry. V ROBERT CHRISTENSEN San Bernardino, Calif. SAN BERNARDINO VALLEY COLLEGE West Virginia Wesleyan PSI OMEGA Stone Face Christensen readily admits being one of the most disgusted members of our select group. Bob can be found crying in his beer along with the rest of his cohorts at the 901. Always a pidgeon for a card game, he likes nothing better than to bait Horany or Dahlberg into a phoney six no-trump bid. During football season, Bob ' s Yellow Monster can be seen hazily thru a cloud of oil fumes roaring towards the coliseum for a pro-football game. Bob is sure that Endodontic is not his fort e and is entertaining the idea of a Naval career to get away from this Veil of Tears.

WELDON O. CRONKITE Long Beach, Calif. Long Beach C C XI PSI PHI This tall gangly Oklahoma transplant is only one of the many ex-flyboys in our midst. Bud was in the heavies and a charter member of the 901 Club we have often heard him defend the honor of the boys in the heavies down to the last glass. Cronk is the only guy in our class who has six extra weeks in Surgery, which proves that he knows what he wants. Bud has been pulled thru school by his wonder- ful wife, Virginia. Of course, he has occasionally had an eight year old chair assistant named Mike. In addition, they have a fourth mouth to feed by the name of Chad. Good Luck, Bud. yo„ -3 ..U as ui , JOHN P. DAHLBERG Seattle, Washington use PSI OMEGA Jack (alias Fast Jack) was born in Seattle, Washington; explaining the webs between his toes. Jack migrated with a flock of ducks to Southern California and got his wings clipped by a Joe Dandy as he flew past 16th and Los Angeles Streets. Jack, attended University High and S.C. for his pre-dental, where Fast Jack completed the pro- gram in a record time of three years. In dental school Fast Jack took to dentistry and the diamond technic like a fish to water. He set the pace for the class in our first two years. At the end of the sophomore year Jack took his marriage vows with Mary Louise. Now after two years of marriage and the clinic he is still gaining in his ability to make a success out of his profession and life.
