GUS GEORGE ANGELOS Sigma Chi Salt lake City, Utah Univ. of Wyoming ■ If every four year period of Gus ' future life is as productive as the past four, he will be a tremendous success. To give insight as to how busy he has been, he has acquired a wife (Pearl), a son, a daughter, and a dental degree. Besides the above, he has filled in his spare time reading, watching, listening, and play- ing baseball, basketball, etc. All one has to do to arouse Gus ' interest is to mention the word boll. He won seven varsity letters at South High in Salt Lake and then received a four year ath- letic scholarship to Wyoming University. Some claim he still holds his handpiece like a baseball bat. But, whatever his grip, it must be good in order to handle Class III foils the way he does. Gus will be remembered as the good natured Greek whose brood smile and friendly manner made him one of the most popular men in the class. After two years in the Army, Gus plans to settle down near his home town of Salt Lake. See you when the skiing Is good in Alto, Gus. Coffee break, Gus? ' Pedodontists 54

MERLE ARDEN ANDERSON Long Beach, California Long Beach Cily College Spending many years in his preparation to enter dental school, but getting an early start because of his precocious na- ture, Merle developed h i s nickname Junior as he is one of the youngest in the class. Being full of life and ideas Merle held many offices and gained a multitude of honors during his pre-dental work. He will be remembered best for his role in the freshmen class Christmas play os one of the star performers. Junior is noted for his wit and Joe College mottos such as nail that mother and a prolific host of others. In fact it wouldn ' t surprise the class to see Merle at the National A.D.A. Conven- tion of 1958 pull up in a solid gold Cadillac — whip out a long key choin — swing it around and proclaim I ' ve made a fortune in Long Beach. One of Merle ' s many characteristics which will be remembered is the em- phatic convictions he has when discuss- ing a problem with a fellow classmate. You would hear him say You ' re wrong!! You ' re wrong!! You ' re wrong!! But, Merle always seemed o be at his best during pre-examination time when everyone would jump in fright ot the mere sound of a strange word foreign to the subject matter. He would conjour up weird poly-syllables that would make Webster cringe, then with seriousness of tone shake up the group into cold sweats and spasmotic seizures commonly known to the brotherhood as panic. Throughout the four years. Merle ' s en- thusiasm and friendliness never dimmed and along with it came a deep appre- ciation for dentistry which he strived for and will carry with him into his dental practice. Junior contemplates a pontic for the freshman bridge. Interrupted sales talk. 53
