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.

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.

VINCE MONIOT Van Nuys, Calif. UCLA, L A C C DELTA SIGMA DELTA Good old 67 is one of the rare persons who can worry themselves into getting all A ' s. All through his freshman year he worried about flunk- ing out of school and then came out with the kind of grade card ninety-nine percent of us dream about. During the final sophomore operative exam Vince was so nervous he couldn ' t get his carver and wax pattern to shake together. Luckily, Mol- ly was sitting next to him and was able to make his hands shake in unison. Vince will always be remembered as the one who soldered a copper pan on top of his trusty old bunsen so that he could easily heat his com- pound as he took his 100 or more impressions while trying to make a P.J.C. Needless to say, the Tonopah Kid has it. = Kv V eVe dU- ' D.« -W RICHARD MOOREHOUSE Long Beach, Calif. Long Beach C C XI PSI PHI This Hang Loose fellow came to SC by way of Long Beach City College. It was soon discovered that it is hard to shake this guy. For example when Dick was at the wheel of his old Hudson on a hair raising ride to Blue Jay during the Zip pledge ditch (Freshman year). Among the several incidents, a blow out at 70 MPH and a fuse to the headlights blowing out at 3:00 A.M. on a mountain curve were the more outstanding. Dick was removed from the bachelor clan early when he married his wife, Joyce, during our first summer vacation. His natural manner with children should ensure his success in orthodontics. He ' s planning to take the post-graduate course after a two year hitch in the Air Force.
