JUDD BREER GUSHING, B.S. Sigma Alpha Epsiton. Delta Sigma Delta Epsilon lota Tail Tau Tan Sigma Los Angeles, California U.S.C. Judd, alias Juddy, Baldy, Red, Mad Bomber, and others too numerous or hor- rible to mention, is a home grown pro- duct. He attended L.A. High, the home of Doodles Weaver, and graduated from there in 1950. Juddy then enrolled at S.C. where he took all his pre-dental play. He is a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon so- cial fraternity and the Delta Sigma Delta dental fraternity for whom he was an outstanding house boy (janitor). Of all the things that will remind us of the short little ( — ) in the years to come, his gold flash hunting at the technique building will probably stand out, al- though he was tops in the fascia fights in the anatomy lab, and unusually adept at putting water on your bacti lab stool when you weren ' t looking. He won the E.I.T.T.T.S. award at the Delt house for his premature dismantling of a patient ' s partial to sell the you-know-what. Judd ' s hobbies include girls, parties, smoking, drinking coffee, just drinking, and intermittant weight lifting. To change to a serious vein, he does like hunting, fishing, television and sleeping through lectures. With the above facts in mind, though slightly distorted, it may seem rather incongruous that Judd should have maintained a very high grade school level throughout dental school, and will undoubtedly continue these high standards in his future prac- tice. Judd has chosen the Navy for his post- graduate training and on the completion of his two years will start practice in the Los Angeles area. A Concentration, a good grip, determination, and give that engine hell. Judd demonstrates the art of case presentation 69

LELAND RICHARD DAVIS Sigma Chi, Beta Beta Beta San Jose, California Crewcut, bundle of energy, stubborn and hard headed, enthusiastic sports car fan, chess player, ski and hiking enthusiast, opera lover, martini connoisseur — all these describe Lee Davis. Confirmed bachelor in Sept. 1953, ( I ' ll never get married! ), Lee took the fatal step in March 1956 — a surprise to even his closest friends. His attractive wife, Marilyn, a law student, was a pleasant addition to the ever growing group of dental students ' wives. Lee ' s ambitions appear to be ownership of a Mercedes-Benz 600 S-L (or the cur- rent hot model when he ' s able to get one) and to build a home with an aquar- ium under the living room floor. Top man in the number of patients as- signed him during his clinic days was one of his distinctions. First he couldn ' t get anyone into the clinic and then they all wanted to come in at once. It hap- pened to all of us, but to him in grand style. Lee attended San Jose State College (where he was a Sigma Chi), migrating there from Boulder Creek, California, his home in younger days. His birthplace was in Oakland in 1931. You could always tell when Lee was en- gaged in deep thought or sober intense endeavor, for he unconsciously had a habit of placing the tip of his tongue be- tween compressed lips when in concen- tration. Fierce loyalty to friends and the under- dog characterizes Lee to those who know him, as well as the determination to ex- cell and a great thirst for knowledge which made him probably the chief user of the Dental School Library during his four years there. Mirror, hell! 70
