JAMES R. RAY Las Vegas, Nevada use PSI OMEGA Father of the 2nd section, Jim has given all of the youngsters helpful advice on everything from Pedo to the sex life of the bee. Jim has always taken a genuine interest in others even when his own plight was at times precarious. Jim and Tom Rouse acquired quite a reputation in the technic building. They never knew how they were ever going to moke it. They kept the second section in crocodile tears about their hor- rible plight. The day of graduation will probably find them worrying if their diploma will be a blank. Jim and his wonderful wife, Sue, have three children. All of his family are his greatest boosters and will undoubtedly push him to the top of the heap in no time. iPP THOMAS R. ROUSE Sacramento, Calif. Sacramento J. C, U S C PSI OMEGA Thomas comes to S.C. from Sacramento, where he will no doubt settle down to a long, successful career. The son of a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, the quality of his work, indicates that he certainly has inherited a great deal of his father ' s skill. He is the father of a fine son, Ricky, whom he hopes to see enter the old S.C. Molar Mill along with the Class of 1970. Working under the strain of the usual financial upheaval faced by most of us, Tom ' s determination to succeed and his rare sense of humor have seen him through. How can we forget his definition of rugae for Dr. Darley as — that which is very difficult to construct in wax and very easy to remove with pumice.

C ' J t EARNEST R. PLEASANT Los Angeles Pasadena C. C. PSI OMEGA A Manual Arts graduate of the late thirties, Ernie ' s activities before Molar Tech, included a tour of duty as a hot pilot in the Air Force. Ernie took his pre-dent at Pasadena C. C. and now calls Temple City his home. Dottie Pleasant and his two children are the only things he doesn ' t have No. 77 marked on. Ernie Time is Money Pleasant must have been making money for the school this last year as he was the first guy on the floor and the last to leave. His chair was always hot, as were his handpiece and stopwatch. Among the other nice things that con be said about Ernie is that he is about the most pleasant guy around (o-o-o-hl), which should lead him to loads of success. (x3 ' JlWt DON RATLEY, A.B. Inglewood, Calif. use DELTA SIGMA PHI, DELTA SIGMA DELTA, ALPHA TAU EPSILON What can we say about Don without overwork- ing all the superlatives. One of the top men of our class, both academically and clinically, he has a rare combination of youthful exuberance and sound, mature judgment which will carry him far (away?) in life, both professionally and socially. Most of us have envied Don throughout our four years of blood, sweat, and tears for his ability to get things done. He did all this, managed Rat- ley ' s Chinese Hand Laundry, and worked part time as a YMCA Secretary organizing Y clubs in the Venice area. During the sophomore year he and Dr. Snyder were among the first to finish their bridge and P.J.C. which naturally left Don with considerable time to work on his skin diving equipment or to go on a weekend of skiing (or was it sheing ?) . We won ' t be too surprised if his continual search for methods of doing better and faster dentistry leads to some revolutionary development, possibly in- stead of cavitron, . . . ratholetron.

BO T. SAKAGUCHI North Hollywood, Calif. U C L A, U S C Bo T. is certainly one of the livewires of the class of ' 55. When anyone gets in trouble or needs a hand, a gentle hint to Bo will get assistance whether he feels he has time or not. Bo comes from a family of M.D. ' s and D.D.S. ' s so it follows that he should also be a professional man. Education started for Bo when he and his family lived in Burbank — then on to North Holly- wood. Soon Bo was at that school on the other side of town before seeing the light and coming to use. Never in the history of SC has anybody encoun- tered more of a rah-rah boy than Bo. He says UCLA stand for Ulcerative Chronic Localized Alveolitis. RICHARD SAMUELSON Burbank, Calif. Glendale C. C. PSI OMEGA The pride and joy of Kay and Bobby, is culminating a childhood dream and ambition in attaining his D.D.S. Dick will always be remembered by those of us who have worked close to him for that classical quiz by Yo Shibuya, Isn ' t there anything sacred anymore, Dick? As Soph Treasurer, Dick handled our funds (or was it Palmed our funds ) and did an admirable job. Shortly thereafter (mere coinci- dence) he and his wife, Kay, were able to make an addition to the family. Going by the size of Bobby, Dick had better follow the straight and narrow from here on in. His only vice or deviation from accepted norms is his fanatical passion for Champagne Music, by Dizzy Welk.
