JOHN GORRIE Los Angeles Santa Monica C C, Los Angeles C C DELTA SIGMA DELTA I As a Roman at L. A. high, John cavorted on the B basketball team and made his letter as a casaba- man. However, John ' s secret ambition was to get into dental school so he could learn to play bridge. But he had to sit on the bench for two years (seat 4 34) in the technique building until he developed the proper finess. Facing many new social obligations, he found that his wardrobe situation was getting rough. Then along came the job at Groman ' s Mortuary and all problems were resolved. After six month ' s at the Mortch John was able to re tire with one of the finest wardrobes on campus. During that six months the vice squad had to close down a lot of funerals when the guest of honor showed up in the nude, but as they say on Bastille Day, c ' est la bare. His even disposition, sense of humor, and good looks should bring him a successful practice ... in the navy. JON GRANT Detroit, Michigan L A C C, U C L A The Westwood Wetback who after waiting out many lean years for UCLA Dental School to become a reality, begrudgingly traveled east to Figueroa and became a Trojan. On Christmas vaca- tion of our first year, Jon married his UCLA sweet- heart, Nina — and the two of them to this day have withstood all attempts to make them Trojans. After our first issuance of equipment, Jon ' s enterprising mind saw an opportunity to serve his fellow students, as well as Mrs. G. After much research work, Jon presented an insurance policy to the students to protect their equipment against Fire, Damage, thieves and neighboring students. The plan met with wide approval and Jon — with $ $ in his eyes could see giving up Dentistry and just spending one visit a year to sell insurance to incoming freshmen. After the higher math was finished he found that only one policy had been sold — his own. Really though, his Dentistry is much better than his insurance policies.

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.

ED HAMMER PSI OMEGA, ALPHA TAU EPSILON Ed, after leading the Marine Corps to a smash- ing victory in the Pacific, returned to his former life as country gentleman, establishing himself in Santa Ana. Ed and his wife, Maxine, have three boys: Rick, Danny, and Tim, with the newest edi- tion being a girl, Mary Angela. Ed will have one of the largest practices in Santa Ana, what with four kids (who think their dad is the greatest ever) spreading the word. How can he miss? Ed ' s achievements in school have been political as well as scholastic. The office of Student Body 2nd Vice in the Soph year won Ed membership in A.T.E. Attendance of at least one lecture per sem- ester, systematic study the morning before finals, have put Ed high among those who regularly receive the Purple Shaft. Tecuu oot .L -g LOUIS HERBERS Los Angeles Los Angeles C. C, Los Angeles State PSI OMEGA Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Lou and family just nosed out the Okies when they rolled into the Hollywood area. Louis ' three years in the Navy were spent as an Airdale. Speaking of flying, a little T.W.A. hostess, (Barbara) clipped our boy ' s wings in the Senior year. Now an occasional round of golf and romance by firelight are the order of the day. Lou has found his niche in dentistry. He loves it, and is steadily improving in his ability. A charter member of the Noon Bridge Club has found Lou in many a heated debate with Jack (Goren) Dahlberg. Lou will be well-remembered for his stellar performance in our Christmas play. By the way, Lou, did you ever join the student A.D.A.?
