HENRY LEVIN .IIi Iki (hnciid Las Angeles, Califo U.S.C. Henry is as home grown as home grown can get, in that he hved only a pontic ' s throw from the campus. He attended Manuel Arts High School and continued his quest for knowledge at the S.C. cam- pus. Hank shot to fame through his en- deavors on the Trojan gymnastic team while taking his predental work here. He can still be seen giving advice to pot- bellied classmates on how to regain their lost physical attributes. Along with his hypertrophied lots, pects, and bi- ceps, he has developed powerful facial musculature due to his constant smile. He ' s the only man in the class that can effervese after double clinicingl Our sophomore year found Hen setting aside his crown and bridge work to fashion a gold band for Marcia ' s left hand. Since this time Marcia has inter- rupted her teaching career twice to pre- sent Robert and Arnold for Henry ' s ap- proval. Heavy rings under his eyes showed the affects of his loving care to the newcomers. Those first months are murder on papa, huh, Henry? Had it not been for Henry ' s patriotism, the class of 1957 wouldn ' t have claimed him. Accepted in 1951 to both dental school and the Army, Henry chose the latter serving as a medic. Thanks for waiting for us, Henry; we shall not soon forget your vivaciousness and sincere friendship. Guess who kno 3I, so far, so good. 105

SAMUEL TILDEN KURTZ Tau Kappa Epsilon, Xi Psi Phi San Diego, California San Diego State College One of the older members of the migra- tion from San Diego, Sam came to us offer service in the Air Force and the California Highway Patrol. Graduating from high school in 1942 he had little time to think obout college and spent the war years jockeying a troop transport in the far east. The uniform seemed to fit well and after service he traded it in on a Highway Patrol model. A couple of years spent writing citations after fraternity parties and startling occu- pants of parked cars were enough to convince Sam that school was the place to be. As a T.K.E. in predent, and later on a Zip he is well known as the man behind the scenes on such productions as the Sophomore Stag. Happily married to a home economics teacher, he finally found it impossible to find a motorcycle seat large enough for his added responsibility and now concentrates full time on Dentistry. After graduation it will be back to the south for Silent Sam. Brains, sweet breads or giblets? Sam and friend 104

DARWIN C. LIGHTFOOT Las Vegas, Nevada Brigham Yojng University, US C Qoiet, steady, and reliable are character- Isfics we ' ll remember in Darwin. A trans- plant from Las Vegas he came to S.C. to finish his pre-dent. after spending a year at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. The athletic interest of his high school days carried over into col- lege and Dar. was always on hand when a game of handball, volleyball or skill- pool was in the offing. Also along this line were his aspirations as a weight- lifter. Sporting a very well developed pair of biceps he could often be found at his place of residence hoisting the bar. Another of his favorite pasttimes was watching television and if was generally agreed that he knew more about the weekly schedule than was printed in the Video guide. Not lacking in intellect he was an out- standing student and prided himself in his collection of pocketbooks. Breaks In the school year were really vacations for him and usually some of his friends as they made his home in Vegas a head- quarters for excursions to the night spots. After graduation and service he plans to return home to set up his practice. With a name like Lightfoot and consid- ering the Apache tribes in that area, he can ' t go wrong.
