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.

DOUGLAS A. SMITH Inglewood, Calif. U. of Redlands, UCLA PSI OMEGA We will all remember Snuffy, as the grade hound. He just had to be top dog of the class. No one will forget his battle with Don Ratley for the coveted honor and those little moments when the entire lab knew something had gone wrong — for he had a remarkable way of expressing his disgust. During our Soph year Doug was elected (Rep- resentative) President. During our freshman year no one could figure out why Doug would not date. We all thought it was only the desire for grades, but as it turned out Doug had his gal already picked out. He and Marion were married during our first vocation. With all his octivties Snuffy has still maintained his top grades. Watch this guy when he hangs out that shingle. RALPH S. SMITH Pasadena, Calif. Pasadena C. C. PSI OMEGA Ralph Cowboy Smith really feels this business of dentistry. He gives the impression that he has been doing it for twenty years. In his spare hours Ralph occupies himself as a Wire Bender for a certain ortho-dontist. Who else in the class hob-nobs with Wild Eyes Ingraham in Colorado during the summer. We have it from good authority that Ralph spent several hours over a hot cocktail explaining to Sexy-Rexy the technique for finishing a gold inlay. Ralph and his lovely wife, Betty, reside near the campus. They are destined for a good measure of success in the future years of dental practice.
