RALPH JUNIOR McNECE Xi Psi Phi Inglewood, California Pepperdine, U.S.C. This boy is Southern California ' s answer to Dr. Cory Middlecoff. Entering dental school fresh off the golf course, Ralph met his most difficult problem in school: playing bridge with Ukio. Eight o ' clock classes didn ' t agree with his disposition; as a consequence he be- came a noted lecturer in the grill. The courses he lectured on were varied but were always interesting over a cup of coffee. Ralph entered S.C. via Pepperdine and played golf for S.C. before entering den- tistry. During the senior year he could be found at the local driving range at- tempting instruction of the opens to one Dr. Charles Sweet, who seems to have the inate ability to break golf clubs. How did you ever get through Pedo., Ralph? McNese and his con artist friend Charles Boyer have great plans of expanding the door key industry. Care to give us one? Sally McNese lives in Inglewood while her husband plays golf, the 19th hole, and occasionally practices den- tistry. Keeping book. They said it was only o matter of leverage. f 112

RONALD McLACHLON Delia Sigma Delia Compton, California Compton Jr. College, El Camino Jr. College Any startling improbable rumors yet to- day? If not you con depend on old Mac to generate some red hot ones by 1:00 p.m.; such as have you heard that all Jr ' s are going to have to wax up their dentures — direct, — to I hear that Dr. Nicklebaum is going to check Sr. clinics!! These are just a few of the millions or more Ron is responsible for. As the dental school ' s original, LES MIS- ERABLES, Good things are tough finan- cially ' I don ' t know where my next meal Is coming from — unless Star Kist Tuna and some macaroni factory comes through. Ron would roll home in his NEW souped up Old ' s, admire his NEW power mower on the way in to his NEW home, sit down and watch his NEW de- luxe model TV and phono set while scan- ning the plans of his NEW dental office. If is Mac ' s new camera that Is respon- sible for most of the excellent photog- raphy In our yearbook. The volume of work required for this is a reflection upon the tremendous drive and willing- ness to help in any project he has under- taken. However, the results of some of Ron ' s more grandiose projects were questionable. Now with the advent of even faster operative speeds Mac has turned his at- tention to this and as Rex ' s right — or is it left arm (?) spends many hours at school delving Into many facets of oper- ative research. In a few months there will prorably be a gala event surpassing even a first night movie premier and financed by who else but J. P. McLachlan announc- ing the opening of his office. If exuber- ance, drive and personality are a meas- ure of success, Ron Is way ahead. Cook this please. m
