EARL W. FEATHERSTONE Salt Lake City, Utah U. of Utah XI PSI PHI, SIGMA PI, LAMBDA DELTA SIGMA Earl is a man of boundless optimism; who else would get married the week before finals and plan it that way. Of course, some guys will do anything for a clinic patient! He is the relaxed type of student especially with the shades down during lectures. With his easy going approach to clinical work, Featherhead produces very beautiful and precise work with the aid of his favorite operative instructor, Curly. Earl intends to return to Utah where he will associate with his brother Lee ( ' 50) . 4 y JBf Ik h B JTv. CHARLES FORBES, JR. Long Beach, Calif. use XI PSI PHI This misplaced southern gentleman from Okla- homa found some solace and a feeling of loyalty to the confederacy ( suh ) in moving to Southern California. This boy was weaned on hominy grits and black-eyed peas and if his humor is insulted by being thought of a dam-yankee, he ' ll likely say, that ' s ridikerlus. True to the southern tradition, his chief talent is that of a gracious efficient host and in buttering up little ole ladies for big ole tips at Yosemite. As a naval reserve officer he beat the Army out of a good foot pump dentist. He started his motor running when he started school and that foot has thumped overtime ever since. Whenever he sets up practice, his success will be due as much to his diplomacy, tact, and blarney as to his precise and meticulous craftmanship.

EDWARD DEEB, B. A., M. A. Burbank, California UCLA, University of Oregon XI PSI PHI, DELTA CHI Ed was born in Lebanon under the cedars in 1 927. He migrated to the USA at the age of eleven. He first tried to enter via Cuba, but the motor launch broke down. His second attempt was more successful entering by way of Italy, France and thru Ellis Island. The Deeb family settled in Ken- tucky and remained there for seven years. Ed came to California in ' 45 and received his BA from UCLA and an MA in Psychology from the University of Oregon. He then decide to take up dentistry after spending one year in a counseling clinic. Points Ed has been high man in the amount of work since he began at the clinic. He has written articles on psychology as it applies to dentistry and will add much to our profession in the future. DAVID EDMONSON Ventura, Calif. Ventura College, Univ. of Calif. DELTA SIGMA DELTA, DELTA TAU DELTA The big southpaw from Ventura suffers from an acute facial erythema whenever caught pulling a boo-boo by his classmates. For instance the time he went to lunch and threw a towel over his desk without turning off his Bunsen resulting, he thought, in the total loss of his wax-up. Fortunately, it was strictly a put up job. V e don ' t suppose he ' ll ever know who gave him that hot foot in the middle of one of Dr. Darley ' s allow me to digress for one moment sessions in the prosthetic lab. His talents in technique are matched only by his game of basketball and finess on the row. He ' s one of the few guys who can take time out for sun and still stay in the point race. Viva la roho!

EARL M. FOSTER Almena, Wisconsin use DELTA SIGMA DELTA Earl hails from the cow country of Wisconsin and graced Uncle Sam with his presence in the Air Force during the war. He doesn ' t talk much about his experience but rumor has it that he was count- ing natives in Borneo. Being a proponent of the marry a school teacher and loaf plan, Earl settled down with a lovely girl named Marge making Van Nuys their home. As everybody should be famous for something, Earl ' s greatest claim to fame is his ability to make that pulpal floor shine and to ask questions five minutes to the end of the hour. Earl ' s ability to handle it has long been known. JOHN FRAME Westwood, Calif. Brigham Young Univ., UCLA DELTA SIGMA DELTA, PHI DELTA THETA Perhaps due to his tender age, it was not until his appearance at the clinical level of his dental training that he really showed promise. We don ' t mean to infer that he had no aptitude nor ability during his technique days, but that he just didn ' t quite demonstrate his all in those early years. It was as though he was endowed with the ability all along and didn ' t feel the need for sincere application until he had a squirming patient by the canines. Once he had the patient in hand he attacked each case with the same frenzied en- thusiasm he formerly demonstrated for women and skiing. Johnny has one incurable fault which can only be rectified by a conscientious assistant. That is his infalible ability to lose instruments and equip- ment. There never has been nor we doubt ever will be anyone who has gone through dental school with as little of his own equipment. However, he manages exceptionally well and probably always will.
