DONALD HOWARD JONES DidUi Sipma Delia San Gabriol, California Pasadena City College Don graduated from El Monte Union High School in 1946. After this. Don at- tended Barber College and served in the Army for two years where he became interested in dentistry. While in barber college Don developed quite a name for himself as a Gay Blade with the dollies on the burlesque circuit. In 1953 Don graduated from Pasadena College and thence to Dental College. Don evidenced his extreme self confi- dence when he missed the first summer ot the clinic. Actually, he had to make a few bucks at the barber trade, but he rapidly caught up with the pack. Don is kidded quite a bit about his sartorial accomplishments, but nevertheless his trade has served a useful purpose by al- lowing him to pursue his education along with his favorite hobbies, skiing, water skiing, and women. This would kill an ordinary man, but not Don, who seems to have more drive than ten men, especially in the direction of the later. In fact, it is quite a race between Don, Ed, and R.G. as to who is the fastest hustler on the clinic floor. Even though Don devotes a huge amount of time to these many and varied enter- prizes he still finds ti me to contribute to his fraternity, especially among the more social aspects. Despite the fact that Don ' s day seems to consist of 17 or 28 hours he still makes time to share with his classmates in con- versation, especially around the coffee machine, and this evidences the fact that here is a hard working, likeable and thoroughly enjoyable person with whom we ' ve been happy to be associated. Now let ' s see what the guys did yesterday. 97

RAYMOND LESLIE JOHNSON Delta Sigma Delta Los Angeles, California Univ. of Calif. (Davis) U.S. Ray is undoubtedly the clinic ' s high point man in units logged at the bridge table and at double clinics. During the sophomore year Ray was vice-president of his class. As o fresh- men he managed the basketball team. He did so well that he followed up by coaching and managing the sophomore team and playing on the Junior team. Along with bridge and basketball Roy has developed other interests such as social drinking, being very proficient in the fine art of liquor tasting — from the glosses of others, that is — intoxication, blindness, gastric upset and it is rumor- ed even coma. All done in good taste under the circumstances Ray has developed several aversions while in Dentol School, one of them be- ing school itself or at least the more or ancient part, the institutional hierarchy which lurks as a two-headed monster in the first aperture on the right of that dark cavern ' s entrance. This same dread- ed monster with the two heods and the ineffectual appendage which chases blue spots by whispering and shouting the strange sounding, mysterious and magi- cal incantation of J, J, J has caused Ray much apprehension. It prob- ably is responsible for driving him to the bridge table, then only to have Russ Jes- sup drive him bock to the Devil ' s Lair to be once again confronted by the curse of the J, hoir, whisper and wild-eyed manaical stare. He in his solid determin- ation, has weathered this adversary and is strong in the hope that some day a St. George will come along and slay this dragon by severing the two heads from the body, for this would moke dental school a safer place Ray and his attractive wife Lorna make a good looking couple at most of the social functions of the school and his fraternity, Delto Sigma Delta, where the Johnson ' s hold the best attendance rec- ord. Good-natured Ray is o joy to most of us who think we hove troubles. Ray just smiles and laughs it off. This char- acteristic will always stand him in good stead in the future. His obility to laugh and joke will long be remembered by his class mates and his inumerable bridge partners and opponents for a long time to come. Phospho soda for the smile of health. Just a hair more ' ol topper. 96

KARL WILLIAM KAISER, JR. Delta Sigma Delta Ontario, California Chaffey College, U.S.C. Want a deal? This is the trade mark of Bill Kaiser. Well known among his fraternity brothers for cornering the wine market (at cut rate prices) to provide re- freshments for the annual Hawaiian Party. Four trucks arrived from the San Gabriel Valley looded with the Red Death. The only trouble being, the Delts didn ' t have four trucks to return the unused portions. It is rumored that Bill paid his expenses at the Delt House for the last four years by practicing the Tonsorial Arts; these he learned in the mysterious Orient, or was it Mexico? Anyway, he also developed an interest in Cactus, all night driving, fresh potatoes and last but not least, shoe shines. The tuition of Shoe Shine School kept him from following this en- deavor. Bill was born in Ontario, where he at- tended Chaffey Union High School. He took his pre-dental requirements at S.C. in 1950 and entered Dental School in 1953. He is also known for his imagin- ation. We first noticed this when he carved the lingual root of an upper molar on the Buccal side of one of Inky ' s carving tests. This man of mystery knows many strange things for he operates by night. He has been followed on many occasions but always manages fo lose his followers around sixth and Hoover or Commonwealth After graduation Bill will see service in the Army Dental Corps. Upon comple- tion of his tour of duty, he will return to the Southland to practice. His pre- cise and competent work will be our gain. Said practice should enable him the capital to develop his private vine- yard and yacht harbor. He might even have a chain of pawn shops and some other costly excentricities that he has been addicted to. This may be due par- tially to his two bizarre roommates. Bill has survived all this and emerged with some semblance of sanity. Pulpal wall just so . Forms, forms, forms; boy I ' m glad the Army. I ' ll be through with these. I gel in
