WILLIAM R. KING Delta Sigma Uella. Alpha Tail Epiilon North Hollywood, California U.C.L.A., L.A.C.C, L.A.S.C. Bill King has the distincfion of being our Senior Class president and is one of the nicest fellas you could ever hope to meet. His youthful appearance and cas- ual attitude camouflage the real, mature William R. King — full-time tycoon of the business world, class president, and fa- ther. It is to Bill ' s credit that he cheer- fully shoulders his many time-consuming responsibilities and still manages to ap- pear unhurried. One classic exception to Bill ' s normal calm occurred during the Freshman year. On the last day for handing in his bridge to Dr. Ho he over-enthusiastically pol- ished a fistulous opening through the occlusal of one of his crowns. Switching to Plan X , he attempted to add solder to same, then reverted to waxing up another crown, soldering, and polishing the bridge, and surrendering the piece of jewelry to Mrs. Shaw in mid-afternoon of this crucial day. Having done this he proceeded to lend a helping hand to those unfortunates who were still having last minute difficulties. While most of the fellows have dashed for the bridge tables or couches at noon- time these past four years — Bill ' s coat- tails would be flapping toward the Auto Club Headquarters on Figueroa. He has held a full-time job there as a claims adjuster for the past several years, and thus supported his wife and ever-ex- panding number of progeny. Judging from this record of accomplis- ments, this lad will bear watching. He may very well outclass G. V. Black someday — and in so doing will surely have earned the respect and frienrship of all with whom he has come in contact. Make ' em smooth and take up to Ho. Now sir, this time open and move your tongue • 100

RICHARD lYNN KINDY VhaUa, California College of Sequoias Dick Kindy hails from the San Jauquin Valley community of Visalia, where he combined athletics with a high grade average at Visalia Senior High School. He graduated in 1951. Continuing his studies at College of Sequoias, his grades never dropped below A right through completion in 1953. His high academic standards continued right on through Dental School. In January 1955, Dick went home for a short vacation to get some well needed rest from the slavery of the third floor of the technique building. Low and be- hold he returned with a blushing bride, Marilyn. We understand that Dick got little rest that vacation; however, he re- turned to the grind with renewed vigor. Dick seemed to have vigor a-plenty for not only was he able to withstand the rigors of newly wedded bliss but he was also able to muster up enough energy to play guard on the Dental School basketball team, this we under- stand was Kid ' s-Stuff compared to the former occupation. He was said to have been a wee bit conservative as a dental student. Dick was never known to have indulged in the shady practices allegedly carried on by some of his fellow classmates. Get- ting answers from the student ' s friend John Sonle on an exam was far easier than from Dick. On the other hand, he was never known to have taken even one small peak at the test paper of a nearby student. Dick plans to take a vacation with twenty other members of the class of ' 57 in San Antonio, Texas, as a guest of the Army Dental Corps. After separation from the Army he plans to take Marilyn and their newly arrived offspring to the San Joaquin Valley where he intends to practice. We will surely remember fond- ly this big, good natured guy with the eternally friendly smile. ■ ' ' .. Danger Biochem student at work. Not every dentist can clairn a smiling patient. 99

JACK WILLIAM KIRBY Vi I ' lu China Lake, California Bokersfield J.C, Fresno Slate Hailing from China Lake, California, Jack presented himself as a real ole ' sour dough and ranch hand. By nature. Jack was quiet, but possessed a sincerity and humorous outlook upon the situations we could come upon in daily clinic life. Jack graduated from Burroughs High School in 1950 and thereafter attended Bokersfield J.C. and finally Fresno State College. By 1955, he had been corraled and settled down with his wife, Martha. During his school years. Jack wos a member of the Zip Fraternity and enjoy- ed his association with that professional organization. An unknown fact about Jack is that he is an ardent sports car fan, being a virtual almanac of informa- tion about race winners and car design and mechanics. As we look to Jack ' s future, we see a couple of years destined for the Depart- ment of Defense and then some serious prospectin ' around Bakersfieid or China Lake. Thinning the periphery. 101
