KENNETH WILLIAM TAYLOR Xi Psi Phi. Liimhda Delta Sigma Burbank, California Glendale College, U.C.L.A., U.S.C. After fulfilling a mission for the Mormon Church, Ken entered S.C. via U.C.L.A. He can always be found during noon hour playing ping pong with his pal Gil at the Institute. This mystery man has quietly handled the last four years doing everything to its utmost. Ken has often been mistaken for his namesake, Ron Taylor, which has probably caused Ken no end of trouble. Rumor has it that this boy has been immunized against the bite of the love bug — only time will prove this fact. Still water runs deep — so after much thought and consideration Ken is bound to establish a fine practice and prove a valuable asset to his community. Only spent $1.65 so far, hope this baby does it.

BEN TAMAKI los Angeles, Californic Santa Maria JC, S.C. Ben completed his pre-dental work at U.S.C. In the interim, he worked at Doug- las Aircraft; during this time that he re- ceived the news of his acceptance to dental school. It was heard that there was not a more drunk buddahead in all of California to ever enter a school of dentistry. With an ever present friendly smile and warm disposition, it was only natural that he would marry someone as sweet as Marge. They have been married for several years now, but there still is no patter of tiny feet, keeping Ben a staunch member in the Thompson So- ciety. Uncle Ben ' s chief recreational activity has been fishing, but with the condition (no fish) such as it is, his interest has switch- ed to bridge. Practically every noon hour will find him in the lounge, either bid- ding a slam or kibitzing someone ' s hand. Ben, who are the last ones to leave in the evening? One word can sum up his ultimate goal in dentistry: perfection and the subsequent success it will bring. Considering that its home made, really doesn ' t taste too bad. Gotta take advantage of them while they ' re still. 137

RONALD VERNE TAYLOR, B.A. Pi Kappa Alpha. Xi ' .s I ' hi Salt Lake City, Utah University of Utah Ron is one of those fellows who could achieve success in any field that he chose to follow. He has chosen dentistry and there need be no doubt that success will surely follow. Before coming to dental school Ron had a wide and varied background in numer- ous forms of human endeavor which un- doubtedly was a factor in his ability to snow, to a greater or lesser degree, both patients and instructor alike; his fel- low students being immune because of their intimate contact with him. Technically, there is nothing wrong with his dentistry either. A man gifted with outstanding ability, he often cruised at half potential, which was usually better than most, only to come through and really shine when the pressure was on. Ron ' s other claim to fame is his wife Joyce and two sons who are pocket-sized editions of him. For the good life ahead, Garden Grove will be the sight of Ron ' s practice and as the story goes, the first thing he is going to do is build a house with a den to which only he has the key — a sort of refuge in which he doesn ' t have to clean up after himself and to which only he and a few select members of the class will be admitted. The expression, There ' s more than one way to skin a cat, in action. Looks like a slock holder. 139
