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

05AMU CHIONO Corcoran, Calif. E.LA.J.C. Gentleman Sam came to S.C. via East Los Angeles Junior College, where his pre-dental studies were token. Previous- ly, Sam had seen action in War II. After discharge, he worked as a lab technic- ian, along with raising a family and making a valiant effort to meet the rent each month. When dental school started, Chiono de- cided he would keep his previous lab train ing in seclusion, and he did, for four days. During the first prosthetic lab session, his accomplishment panicked the first section. Ever since, Sam has been a friend and unselfish donator of his tal- ents to any of us who either needed ad- vice or a project saved. Sam possesses a warm and mature per- sonality. For his sincerity, friendship, and ability, he is highly respected by the class. Already a veteran, Sam has de- cided to establish himself in the South- land, feeling more sure about the rent, but wondering how long the supply houses will own him. Now boys, watch out for this Lingual working and protrusive could be better. 63

EARL VAL CLARK Xi Psi Phi, Al[ li(i Tun Epsilon Cedar Cify, Utah College of Southern Utah Val is another Ute transplanted to the land of ever sunshine (smog filtered). A man with tremendous potential, Vol hit his peak as he was chosen President of our Dental School Student Body in his Senior year. Prior to his dental training he was president of his Junior College in his home town, Cedar City. He progress- ed through dental training with an equal enthusiasm. As an active Zip, he can be seen at all parties looking in askance at his less dedicated brothers as they weave through the massed crowd due to their over indulgence in weekend nectars. As a man of women, there is no tops. When he is not dating them, he thinks of them; when not thinking of them he s dating them. He ' s still a devoted bachelor, how- ever. Val was gunned down by the Air Force, consequently the public will claim him after June graduation. He ' s planning on claiming the public as he is now taking a course in investments. No doubt about this boy, he ' ll be an asset to the profes- sion. Practicing for two years in the Air Force. Sure wish we could reproduce the Bennet move- ment on the model H. 65
