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

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

JOHN STANLEY KNIGHT Kappa Sigma. Delta Sigma Delta Fullerton, California Fullerton J.C, Occidental College John is a pace-setter, excelling in prac- tically everything he has done. His im- pressive history includes a 2 year pre- dental course at Fullerton J.C. where he was elected student body president. As if this weren ' t enough, he added to his honors that of National Junior College Broadjumping Champion in 1949. This feat netted him a scholarship to Occi- dental College, where he completed his undergraduate studies. Uncle Samuel in- tervened in John ' s scholastic schedule before he finished at Occy and furn- ished him with a globe-girdling tour that included the high spots of Korea. He rapidly proved himself in the Army by becoming a Master Sergeant in no time flat. John ' s outstanding ability has been con- sistently high through his four years in dental school. Pointwise , and quality- wise too, he developed an early lead while at the clinic, and constantly im- proved his techniques and skills, in family matters John ' s record is as- suming noteworthy significance. His lovely wife, Phyllis, presented him with a one-unit dependent the first time they were blessed. In 1956 The Bird left a two-unit bundle, known as identical twins. John ' s explanation of this latter phenomenon is a little vague — he claims that this was done by splitting the atom with a y chromosome, or some such Mendelian malarkey. Needless to say, we are all waiting with baited breaths for the Bird ' s next visit to see what the score v ill be. John intends to bless Orange County with his varied talents when he gradu- ates, so here he comes, you lucky people! Success? Simple, keep your eyes closed and dive in! Looks as though that foil is coming out nice. 102
