ROBERT LESTER ROBERTSON Modesto, California Riverside College Bob will be remembered as one of the most meticulous and painstaking stu- dents the Dental School will ever grad- uate. Early in the freshman year, Bob spent many lab hours demonstrating the art of polishing wax bite blocks and shining compound impressions. He oc- casionally became sidetracked with var- ious and sundry business ventures (deals); namely, selling operating chairs to the class and then promptly creating a repair service when the wheels fell off, and charging half the original price to replace them. As official information had it. Bob and his wife Louise (Skip) were able to fi- nance babies in this manner, and do their duty to maintain the population. The score to date shows one little tiger, Bobby Jr., a sweet daughter Pamela, and a fair sized swelling that would indicate a census change in May. Despite his conscientious and diligent at- tutude at school. Bob has found time for a remarkable number of activities. Among them are interests in boating, water skiing and flying. Bob is a 1946 graduate of San Diego High School, an alum of Redlands College and of course, started S.C. in 1953. After the service, Bob and family will be found in South- ern California. I.

ROGER EDMUND RILEY Dflla Tail Dvlhi, Delta Sigma L),-lla. Alpha Tail Epsilon Newport Beach, Colifornia use Roger, one of the more popular mem- bers of our class, entered dental school a carefree, devil may care youth and grad- uated a married settled down father of the only boy and girl twins of our class. It didn ' t take very long after the begin- ning of the Freshman year to find out that Roge was a lusty voiced individual who didn ' t worry too much about any- thing. Things that were really shaking up most of the fellas only brought smiles from our contractor friend. (Smiles that showed off the perfectly balanced occlusion of which Roge and his ortho- dontist are so proud). In the Sophomore year, besides being the envy of everyone in his Chevy Cor- vette, our hero was elected Second Vice President of the dental school. This year also saw Roge falling madly in love with Marilyn and the many stories of this affair (such as the episode in the garage behind the Delta Sigma Delta house one night) are still going around. As if all this were not enough for one year — the greatest achievement was the goose Roge and friends gave Dr. Ho for Christ- mas accompanied by a record of Frankie Laine singing Cry of the Wild Goose. Pre-dental work was taken at S.C. where Riley was a member of Delta Tau Delta. Organizations to which he belongs now include both Delta Sigma Delta and Al- pha Tau Epsilon. Roge is a good operator and will go far in dentistry with his cheerful, easy going attitude. See you in Texas!! Would you like it tenderized, modon vette and friend

JACK EUGENE ROBINSON, B.S. ,,««!» I ' l. Xl I ' s, Flu Salt Lake City, Utah University of Utoh Abe Robinson arrived in Los Angeles in 1953 after many years of salt mining and various other endeavors at the Uni- versity of Utah. A graduate in vertebrate zoology, Long Jack spent weeks shaking the brine out of his eyebrows, but final- ly succeeding, he managed to accept and dispell the many worries and anxieties of the classmates surrounding him the Freshman year. Jacks sincerity and keen intellect were soon discovered by the class and like- wise our admiration and regard for Jack developed. Thus, he became one of the outstanding members of our class aca- demically, personally, and of course, vertically. His constant refusal to accept Uki Nakama ' s repeated challenge to Beat you up was a source of morbid disappointment to the entire class. By the end of the freshman year, Jack mar- ried the lovely woman called Marie. Marie has stated that the ole man is hard to handle as he talks, sleeps and dreams dentistry. Shorty ' s interests, other than wedlock, are golfing and reported elbow bending, which were apparently practiced only during vacation times. Jack was allocated to the Air Corps and upon graduation he will serve two years, after which a Southern California practice is planned.
