CHARLES E. SCHOENBAUM Culver City, California use DELTA SIGMA DELTA Pete, otherwise known as Fortunate Pierre, is the tennis player of the class of ' 55, A while back he was in the city finals of Culver City and the only reason Pete lost is because the other guy won and the officials were not Delts. Pete and Dick Shepard are commonly known as the Sellz twins of Culver City. One is rarely seen without the other. In fact, on almost any sunny weekend, the rare pair can be seen in the midst of a hot game of volleyball at Hermosa. During the war, Pete was one of Uncle Sam ' s Sailor boys and while traveling under the banner of the U. S. Navy, he completely scuttled a little gal by the name of Carol, and they now have a son by the name of Ricky who is almost big enough to whale the tar out of the old man. RICHARD SHEPARD Culver City, California use DELTA SIGMA DELTA A confirmed beach-rat, he is of a peculiar specie that would prefer to inhabit the waters around Catalina and during the spring season of angling may be caught in the surf around mid- night at the full of the moon. He attended Hamilton High where he extin- guished himself as a student; then to Europe with Ike to make it safe for democracy. After his re- turn, he established his own business. Soon, how- ever, he saw the light and forsaking the material things of life, entered dental school. He scoffs at the idea of money as a goal. His aim, as he so aptly puts it, is to render a health service, regardless of which of his five convenient offices you choose. Incidentally, his avocation is orthodontia, further evidence of his aversion to things monetary.

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.
