SHIGERU KAWANAMI Los Angeles UCLA use ALPHA TAU EPSILON At the age of four months, Shig deciding to donate his talents to the world at large, packed up and left his native Japan. After a long period of shiftlessness, he arrived at the doors of USC and promptly astounded everyone with his personality and ability. He is the only guy to ever remake everything because he didn ' t like it and no class- mate had a larger scab box. If ability means anything, Shig will be around long after the others have gone. He has somehow managed to evade the fairer sex but no handsome brute is safe forever. However, golf has not evaded his attention and he is gradually lowering his score. With success coming naturally, Shig will be warmly received wherever he goes. WILLIAM W. KEESECKER Raton, New Mexico New Mexico A M XI PS! PHI An easy going and likable fellow, Willie is probably one of the most versatile men in our class. During his hitch in the Army, he served in Germany as an infantry man but his unusual digital dexterity soon won him the position of sup- ply sergeant and idol of the gold bricks. During his pre-dental days at New Mexico A M, Willie further demonstrated his versatility by working at various jobs including the pari- mutual department at the race track. We know him to be a frank and straight for- ward fellow whose enthusiasm for Dentistry is exceeded only by his love for beer. Still single but quite available, he promises to give all interested women an even break. As for the future he isn ' t certain where he will establish his practice but admits that he can be had if California wants him.

LEON E. KARNER China Lake, Calif. Bakersfield J C XI PSI PHI Whispering Earl, who emerged from the howling desert winds of China Lake, plans to prac- tice supersonic dentistry with his dad. Leon has followed in his father ' s footsteps further by becom- ing a loyal Zip. When he isn ' t reading late at night or going to movies his favorite past time is telling off instructors at the dinner table and getting away with it. Leon ' s warmth and good natured humor have won him many friends and made clinic life much more pleasant. With his academic and clinical ability his future is assured. GEORGE KAWAHARA Los Angeles UCLA Through the years in dental school, George has done much to lend his aid and advice to the older men of our class. An enthusiastic student and a superb operator, George has shown especial pro- ficiency in the field of occlusal equilibration and the class V inlays. George has also distinguished himself as a great practical joker. Nobody can tell when he is going to switch a lock or fix a game of cards. A rabid bridge player himself, George can always be found at a bridge table during the noon hour. George ' s big grin and devil may care attitude have won him many friends in the class. We feel that George has proven himself to be an able student who is capable of upholding the name of Kawahara in the dental profession.

Occidental College DELTA SIGMA DELTA ALPHA TAU OMEGA ALPHA TAU EPSILON Bill learned early in life about the subject of pounding gold foil and decided to put it to good use.

ROBERTS. KILLION National City, Calif. San Diego State College XI PSI PHI Coming from 13 miles north of the south border, Bob swears that L. A. smog is just too much. After three years in the Navy he will migrate back to the heaven on earth climate of San Diego. The big question about Bob ' s future is whether the Navy, graduation, or Lucy will get him first. He ' s been going with this nurse ever since he began dental school. Bob wanted to take no chances about which service he went into, so he entered the Navy Senior Dental Program (one of the two in the class so honored). Speedy Gonzales is one of the fastest and finest operators in our class and will surely do the same after his parole.
