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.

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.

ROBERT L. DANNY MEREDITH Washougol, Washington Palomar J. C. PSI OMEGA, ALPHA TAU EPSILON Danny comes to us from Wastiougal High and Palomar J.C. During the war Danny was a Dental Dilley in the Navy, but found one of the nurses he could not resist so he married her. He always felt funny with being an enlisted man married to an officer. (He says he still gave the orders). Danny, an excellent operator and technician, has one fault and that is he never has his own instru- ments but we forgive him and always know where to find ours. (We think he still has not unpacked his freshman issue). One of the better lab men — we always went to Danny for help in lab prob- lems — Danny will give a good account for himself and his profession. Bon Voyage. Who was that call for? { • WILLIAM H. MOLLE, ! L B Ogden, Utah Loyola U. XI PSI PHI, ALPHA TAU EPSILON Big Bill, although born in U ah, was raised in Los Angeles and attended Loyola University, taking pre -dent on a music scholarship. After the war (which he spent in the counter intelligence corps and the Coast Guard) Bill returned to Loyola. He worked on the police dept. at night until he re- ceived his law degree and then hunted Communists for the F. B. I. But his first love, dentistry kept calling and at the urging of his wife, Barbara, he quit to finish pre-dent. He ' ll long be remembered as president of the Zip house and as the guy who always had a deal cooking. Being a skilled operator, Dentistry is certain to profit from Bill ' s many talents.
