EUGENE MANUSOV, A.A. Los Angeles (Brooklyn) L ACC ALPHA OMEGA Gene had a good start in life; he was born in Los Angeles 25 years ago, but suffered a tremen- dous setback — his family moved to Brooklyn where Gene was exposed to the questionable atmos- phere of avid Dodger fans. We hear Gene won a jitterbug contest while in high school, probably exhibiting manifestations of first symptoms of Cali. forniaitis (shaking the dust of Brooklyn from his shoes) . I will return Manusov, landed on the shores of L A C C where he proceeded to capture an AA degree in preparation for entrance to S C. Although not yet married. Gene is far from a confirmed bachelor. He has several hobbies, but claims jitterbugging and necking as his main extracurricular activities. Gene is also president of the American Logger ' s Association and has claimed to have paid his senior year ' s tuition from money won from Ban, Landsman and Israel. Gene is also an adept car- toonist as evidenced in El Molaro of 1954 and 1955. We said A plus, Frank JOSEPH MARCUS, B.S. Los Angeles U SC ALPHA OMEGA, ALPHA TAU EPSILON Joe was born in New York, but showed his in- telligence early by moving West. While at Dorsey High School, Joe played varsity basketball and was an honor student. He attended U S C on schol- arships as well. For the past five summers Joe has spent his va- cations as assistant cook in a boys ' summer camp; and if you noticed that cheerful salesman at Pep Boys, that was our boy. Wedding bells chimed for Joe last June. His pretty wife Mimi, who sat for eight sevriton fillings at one time, works as a beautician. Unfortunately Joe is, as yet, no prettier. Joe served his fraternity, Alpha Omega, as Presi- dent, secretary, and program chairman, and was active in many social events.

RICHARD MALM, B.S. Inglewood, Calif. • use BETA THETA PI, DELTA SIGMA DELTA Dick is a reversal of Hie old adage was ac- cepted in dental school, actually Dicl accepted dental school and the life it offers with much the same ease of a one-time freshman named Rex. A real individualist, he seldom had the usual difficulties that most of us endure and consequently he earned the lasting title of Golden One. The last of the staunch bachelors took the fatal step in his junior year and has since been snickering as each of his married friends, who said otherwise, have been blessed with offspring. However, what ' s the old adage about someone laughing last? He took a very active part in school affairs, such as washing out old Petri dishes and embalming cadavers in the morgue. Truly, the Golden One will go far. THE OWL 1 GLENN MANN Orange, California Fullerton J. C, USC XI PSI PHI Glen, Glenoid, Roundy . . . call him what you will, but they all mean one swell guy. He attended Fullerton J. C. previous to making SC his home. One might think he hates prosthetics the way he burns his fingers with a wax spatula, but this isn ' t the case as he excels in all branches of dentistry, particularly in surgery where he is way ahead of his field in replantation. Glenn finds the ZIP house advantageous especially during finals. He married his wife, Mary, in August of 1953 and names the piano and hunting among his other hobbies. After graduation, Glenn is set for two years in the service and then hopes to practice in the Santa Ana area.

CURTIS A. MARTINS Los Angeles Compton J. C, Los Angeles State PSI OMEGA Curtains was born a few blocks from campus, is and always will be a die-hard Troian fan. A conscientious hard-worker at trying to find time for a volley ball game or a trip to Vegas or a course in muscle building. Built tall, handsome and rugged. Curt devotes much time to running the girls crazy. He ' ll make a fine dentist for he always has that Palm Springs vacation look which he acquires at Hermosa Beach — somehow squeezing in the minimum requirements. A fine operator, good mixer and honest disciple of dentistry. He will not only be a successful dentist, but a credit to the profession. With Curt ' s zeal and Navy ' s help he may yet make Admiral of the Dental Corps.

C, U S C Mr. Prosthetics, the familiar name for John, while most of the class was working on their 4th and 5th unit John had checked in 17. It seems that some of us have the knack for it. Besides being an ace in dentistry, he was a journeyman tool and die maker before coming to dentistry. During the war he became a citizen at large in Italy, the home- land, being an interpreter in the first Mountain Division. John took over the title of Master of the Fix from Joe Downey and we predict that he will have all the prosthetics and real estate in the valley sewed up before the rest of us are getting our units paid for. John and his pretty wife Pat have two boys that have now become the center of attraction and are forcing dentistry to give way a portion of his time.
