HENRY OKAMURA Los Angeles, California U SC A native of Southern California, Hank will prob- ably settle around here with his attractive wife, Kazue. Hank is a calm, cool and efficient operator and was one of the boys who really sailed at the technique building and clinic. Henry is a good student and does nice work, specializing in por-cast crowns on non-English speaking European women. This boy will always show you a .good natured smile and follow any poke of fun with a don ' t get hot. We predict a long and fruitful life for this shrewd character and since he is a friend of every- one, we ' ll wish him a goodly portion of rewards, ' cause for sure he ' ll always be in the win, place or show position. they are wise EUGENE A. OLSON Coalinga, Calif. Coalinga J. C, San Jose State College PSI OMEGA Gene spent his younger days in the vast Fresno grape lands. He ' s a quiet fellow but his work is meticulous. When everyone else had a big mess around them. Gene would be quietly working away on a clean lab bench. In fact. Rex will have to do some looking around to replace Gene as his lab man. Last year Gene took up skiing. From the fish stories I ' ve heard, he is quite accomplished in the piscatorial art. He is strictly the outdoor type. You will frequently see him getting even with his wife. Donna Lee, in the dental chair, but she doesn ' t seem to mind. Fresno is going to have a real hot shot dentist in their midst, come 1955.

JOHN NERAD Wilmington, California Pomona College XI PSI PHI John is one of the mildest and most even tem- pered fellows in the class. This good looking, soft spoken lad from Wilmington has the definite dis- tinction of being the only one to understand Dr. Bavetta ' s Biochem course. It is a matter of record that he pulled half the class through this enjoy- able course (he ' s the guy that first made the distinction between a vitamin and a hormone). John is always ready to lend a fellow student a helping hand and a witty remark when in need. He will be a great asset to his chosen profession. t. hrnk ihei-e is. je.riA unusual here ' . ome+hin (jL tflllOTVi. ARTHUR NEUMAN Alberta, Canada La Sierra College Art is the original gadget man of our class, really a displaced physicist (he has a degree in Physics) who migrated south from Canada. However he walks like he ' s still got his snow shoes on. Did you notice? ? ? He does walk a little like Dr. Lott. This quiet fellow has a wonderful family and was really surprised when his wife was Queen for a Day . . . That ' s all he mumbled about for days. His prominent forehead (really a receding hair, line) reveals what a good egg he is. When kidded about this, he usually replies, Well, grass doesn ' t grow on a busy street, you know. His work has always reflected his conscientious attitude in turning out fine dentistry and we know that these same qualities will assure him lasting success in his private practice.

FRANCIS J. ORSI Alhambra, Calif. Pasadena J.C, UCLA PSI OMEGA A true Alhambra man, this frustrated one really likes women, parties, skiing, prosthetics and women. If you ask him, he ' ll tell you, Prosthetics is such a fight. Frank and Don Ratley teamed up our first sum- mer, to have a ball in Europe. He still talks about those tight sleeping bags!!! A two-year veteran of Pasadena City College, Frank will be service-bound after matriculation has methodically mauled him. That poor nurse — what will she do without — Frank??? Riding in a car pool gets tiresome, that ' s why Frank is counting the hours until his S.C. days are over. Being unpredictable, we can say Frank will certainly hold his own as long as his skis, telephone numbers, Acrylic jars and flasks hold out. Good Luc k, Paisano!!!!! KELLY C. PETILLO, JR. Los Angeles Compton J.C, U C L A PSI OMEGA Spent his younger days chasing around with the big car drivers of the 30 ' s (namely his dad). He took his pre-dental work at UCLA. When he got to SC, he really knew his biochem and all those who sat in the near vicinity shared his knowledge. He takes sloppy notes but when test time came around they proved to be quite accurate. it ' s heck to borrow equipment from Kelly, because he could never locate it for you. He ' s a good little athlete (another Benito Hogan) but since skiing at Alta he ' s learned to respect that deep powder.
