He then enrolled at John Muir Junior College, where he completed his pre-dental curriculum before entering U.S.C. Dick has been a member of Delta Sigma Delta dental fraternity since enrollment at U.S.C. This, however, is not the only interest in his collegiate life. In 1955 he married Carol Grund, who was o Theto from U.C.L.A. In his sophomore year Dick tried a new technique for cutting hair. However, since few people enjoyed having their hair burned off, his newly found way of earning money fell through very quickly. Dick has been an ensign in the U.S. Naval Reserve for about the last three years, spending his Christmas vacation at the Naval Training Center in San Diego. Upon graduation he will go on active duty with the Navy for two years. Nothing like a little passive hyperemia with karoly- sis, and fatty degeneration. Checked out 17 alloys today! 62

EDWARD WARREN CHRISTENSEN XI Psi Phi Alhambra, California La Sierra College Warren spent his pre-dental days at La Sierra College. He was a history ma- jor in those days which may explain his stellar performance in Dr. Campbell ' s class on the History of Dentistry. While at La Sierra he was very active in extra curricular activities. Among other things he served as president of the Interna- tional Relations Club. While serving in this capacity he had such notable speak- ers as former Secretary of Agriculture Brannen. Chris, like all of us, had glory to gory in the technique building. An example of the latter occurred seven minutes before his sophomore bridge was due. The causative factor was a rag wheel. The bridge came to ground three aisles away, and, in accordance with bio- mechanical laws, it lit on the molar margin. With the aid of contouring pliers, a hammer and Ivory soap the damage was rectified. Chris distinguished himself as the finan- cial expert of the class. He is frequent- ly seen in the student lounge, in a prone position, pouring over the financial page. He must be extremely near sighted for the page appears to be fiat across his face. Looks like big things are in store for him. Honesty is the keynote in Chris ' s char- acter. He does what he believes is right and he is honest with himself; this is the cornerstone of success. Damn gold was here when I started! Lab work, bohl
