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.

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.

VIRGIL LEE GALEY Los Angeles Pepperdine, U S C DELTA SIGMA DELTA, DEL TA TAU DELTA After a year at Pepperdine College, where he played Frosh basketball, our hero spent three years at SC. VIrg found an outlet for both his cool basketball ability and his warm temper on the class and school basketball teams (whether at center or forward) . Virgil is a family man with a beautiful redhead by the name of Sally and a fine young son as a recent addition. He was one of the two selected in our class for the Navy Senior Dental Program and so after the Navy is finished with him in three years we see nothing but success for this man. He has an unusual amount of both ability and drive, and that ' s a tough combination to beat.

GAREY Los Angeles San Mateo J. C. XI PSI PHI A real home town boy this Garey, he took his predent at San Mateo J. C. after attending John C. Fremont High. During the war Neal was with the Army Air Force and practically became a citizen of Italy after spending over two years in the sunny country. With a fine wife, Vickie and a daughter, Gretchen, Neal has really supported the S. C. teams, traveling each year north to the bay area for the annual Cal contest and defending our honor with the vim and vigor expected of any loyal Trojan. The quality of work turned out by this quiet man is only excelled by the manner in which he goes about it, always ready to help his neighbors who get into a problem that Neal can usually solve. An office on the Lido Isle yacht landing is the ambition of this lad and he will probably be there before long.
