D m O DONALD E. SMITH, D.D.S., F.A.C.D. This year culminates thirty-two years at S.C. ' s School of Dentistry for Dr. Donald E. Smith. Since 1925, Dr. Smith has headed the Department of Fixed Prothodontics. To him, because of his devotion to our school and our profession we humbly dedicate this edition of the EL MOLARO. His untiring efforts for dentistry, and his love of teaching have enriched the lives of all of us that have been fortunate enough to come under his guidance. As an accurately cut gem reflects numerous rays of light, so does the life of Dr. Smith re- flect itself into various facets. Facets of a warm sense of humor, of wholesome fun and jocularity, of a young heart that can be seen through his youthful haircuts and much envied sports car, which are apparent to all that know him. Dr. Smith ' s relaxing hours are spent at Rancho El Sueno, his desert home in Antelope Valley, where he can be found experi- menting with the growth and beauty of lilacs. These are but a few of the facets of the char- acter and personality of Dr. Smith which are the foundation of his dexterity, skill, creative ability, and wisdom with which he so ably counsels. A newly developed facing and pontip, and later the publication of his book on Crown and Bridge augment his many contributions to the profession. For his devotion and works. Dr. Smith was recognized and elected a Fellow of the American College of Dentists. Dr. Smith ' s name has been one of the key instruments that has given the School of Dentistry of the University of Southern California the outstanding reputation which it enjoys today. ;, H W, IM Rl O Ik I H
