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.

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.

JOHN GAWLEY Chapleau, Canada John Muir J. C, U C L A XI PSI PHI John was destined to come to California from the time his father caught sight of the L. A. City Hall while making one of his airplane trips into the Canadian wilds to attend the dental needs of the back woods population. Long John was born in Chapleau, Ontario, Canada, and it took only two or three long steps for him to reach the hill top in South Pasadena where he now resides. South Pasadena High, a brief encounter with UCLA, and a round or two at John Muir College served to put John on stool 32 in the school of dentistry. Attention to detail and a determination to do nothing but first class work will put John well up in his field . . . probably orthodontia. LE GRAND GOODSELL Weston, Idaho East L A J C, Georgia Tech. L A C C ALPHA TAU EPSILON One of the most industrious workers in the class, LeGrond has lived in the L. A. area since 1923 coming from Idaho. Attended Eagle Rock High School and we won ' t mention the year that he graduated. Seems that Lee almost missed the den- tistry boat by taking a course in electrical engineer- ing at Georgia Tech, but gave it up for dentistry. During the four years in dentistry he has supported his wife and a fine family of four children by working and managing the hardware store in the worlds largest country store in El Monte. But during this time he has also won A.T.E. the hard way and always turned out the finest of work. During the first few weeks in the clinic Lee did not know that class 2 foils were verboten to juniors and without knowing it he turned out an A class 2 foil that put some of the seniors to shame.
