PHILIP THOMAS HAMILTON Psi Omega. Alpha Tuu Epiilun Los Angeles, California U.S.C. A graduate of Santa Monica High School, Phil took his pre-dental work at U.S.C, along with working as a machinist at North American Aviation. Dental school was delayed two years because Uncle Sam needed about two car loads of partials made and had no lab techni- cian. The two carloads were made by Phil in Korea and took about eighteen months. Upon completing his work, he was discharged and soon started S.C. dental school. At school he is known by all for study- ing far beyond his assignments, thus increasing his knowledge and under- standing of all the subjects. Phil was al- ways a good person to ask when we weren ' t sure of something or needed some help in technique. His high grade average in all subjects enabled Phil to be chosen as a member of the honorary dental fraternity, A.T.E. School not being enough of a challenge, Phil took on lab work at night to In- crease his dexterity and fatten the bank account a little. Just before starting dental school, Phil married a cute nurse named Carol who works on campus at the Student Health Center (keeping us all inoculated against rabies, tetanus, hoof and mouth disease or anything else the patients are liable to bring in). Nicknamed the Scorpion by his some- what less studious classmates, Phil was one of our top students for the four years and we ' re all expecting big things from him after graduation.

NATHAN LEON GRINSPAN, B.S. Alplui Omcud. Alphd Tali l- ' .i sil n Los Angolcs, California U.C.L.A. Born in Denver, Colorado and raised in Santa Monica, Nate completed his pre- dental training at U.C.L.A. as a chemis- try major. He received his B.S. degree in that field and vi orked two years for Twenty Mule Team Borax before finally seeing the light and matriculating to S.C. A good personality, unmatched sense of humor and terrific drive are a few of the qualities that made this fellow one of the outstanding men of our class. Many a time Nate pulled a student from the depths of discouragement or frustration with one of his famous quips; especially during clinics. As for the first two years in the tech- nique building, Nate will be remem- bered especially for the way he uses to break up a prosthetics wax derby with his unusually authentic imitation of a hen in a yard full of roosters. Also for the way he used to set Dr. Tibby straight on the fine points of the arterial supply to the various muscles of the face and neck. No doubt about it, Nate ' s favorite pass time was telling we youngsters stories of his experiences in the Big War. As we recall he was a major or a corporal or something in the European theater in charge of at least several hundred troops. Nate was twice decorated for action beyond the call of duty in Euro- pean beer parlors. During the junior Year Nate was a most popular and active president of Alpha Omega as well as being elected to A.T.E. honorary fraternity. Better known as Spider to the class, Nate was undoubtedly one of the most enthusiastic and hardest workers in our class. We ' re certain that this enthusiasm will carry through in the years that fol- low. Don ' t kibitz, I know what I ' m doing; I ' m a sophomore. What? 5:00 o ' clock already! 83

FREDERICK JAEGER HANSING, B.S. i I ' sl I ' hi. Alpha Tau Epsilon North Hollywood, California Texas Tech., U.S.C, Chapman College Perfection is this man ' s pass word. Per- fection in his dentistry as well as any- thing else he tackles. Not only the mar- gins in his inlays were always perfect, but his schussing down the hills at Big Pines at 50 m.p.h. was also perfect. He rounded out a perfect four years at den- tal school by being class president in the sophomore year and getting married to the closest thing to perfection that any of us has seen, in the senior year. Incidentally, Fred ' s honeymoon was an all expenses paid uranium prospecting trip with the neophyte prospectors stak- ing some five claims. All this topped off with an appearance on T.V. and a one thousand dollar royalty check for their efforts. Of course, the check was accepted with no hesitation and the pair just floated out of the studio after the transaction (no mention of the cham- pagne cocktails, etc. previously lavished upon them by the president of the uranium company.) One of the hang loosest guys in our class, Fred never got excited or frus- trated during the entire four years. At least he didn ' t show it. Actually, we hear he beats his wife nights to relieve his pent up emotions. Undoubtedly this fellow will spend more time on the slats than in the dental op- eratory and more power to him. sly, a hypersensitive frog gastrocnemius. Whafs he mean, No linqual working? ' 85
