CYRIL RAYMOND COURTURE ' v Omi-fia Van Nuys, Californi a U.S.C. Ray originally hailed from Las Vegas and other parts of Nevada before mak- ing the trek to L.A. and the dental field. His background is quite varied and it all sounds too hard for the dainty hands of a Dentist. He has worked on dam con- struction (not rubber), cement laying, car- pentry, electrical construction and almost all of the building trades. In fact, during the time he has been placing dams and constructing bridges for patients, he has been building houses as well. Apparently, Ray has found some spare time, as he is currently raising a family of four. His degree of maturity (old man) can be described by the fact that he has a daughter graduating from high school this June. Ray is a member of the Psi Omega Den- tal Fraternity as well as the 901 Club and through the four years, Ray has worked hard for his D.D.S. Because of his cheer- ful attitude toward his own troubles he has given his fellow classmates a fine appreciation of what a man can accom- plish when he sets out to do something. Ray is undoubtedly one of the most nat- ural, unaffected individuals we know. Because of this, he is one of the most sincerely liked members of the class. This plaster bit is old hot to me. Now Mam, we ' ll show as little gold as possible. 67
