MICHEL NILS JACOBY Alpha Omepd. Alpha Tim Epsilon Los Angeles, California U.S.C, L.A.C.C. A hand is raised, silence descends o ' er fhe lecfure room, and a voice rings out, Doctor, I was wondering . . . . Thus will be remembered one phase of The Life of Mickey Jacoby — Perennial Stu- dent by many of his classmates. It is to his credit that he has always sought the reason and logic behind any situa- tion confronting him. And more than one lecturer has been put to the task for want of the proper reply to Mickey ' s well-thought-out questions. His member- ship in Alpha Tau Epsilon, the national scholastic honorary fraternity is evidence of the recognition paid to this mental dental whiz kid. M. Nils Jacoby, native son of California, matriculated at U.S.C. where he digested one year of predental training. For the next year and a half he switched his allegiance to L.A.C.C. During the sum- mer vacations from these ivy-clad halls of learning he fulfilled a lifelong am- bition of bicycling through Europe. He says, I still have the bunions and cal- louses to prove it. While in Europe, Mickey claims he was more interested in seeing the sights than the girls. This attitude seems rather unspunky for a red-blooded predental student, but his devotion to matters scientific was due to the fact that he was then a mere broth of a lad who just didn ' t have a buddy seat on his two-wheeler. A fact little known to most of his class- mates concerns Mickey ' s employment by Hughes Aircraft, where he acquired the imposing title of Radar Research Tech- nician. With such valuoble training to to his credit, he should be well-fitted to return to the Isotope Department of U.S.C, at least long enough to pause for a game of chess with W.W.W. However, the Air Force has pegged Mickey for a two-year tour of duty be- fore he can devote his all to Science. In the meantime this congenial, talented lad will be making friends and pre- senting stimulating ideas wherever he is stationed. Gold issue for the first casting. Chairside manner in operati( 93

KAZUO GEORGE ICHIRIU Los Angeles, California LA, AC, U.5.C. Santa Ana College, Stanford University George as he is known to his classmates is a living example of the cliche You ' re Never Too Old. George entered Dental School at the age of thirty-five. Completing his high school education at Hollywood High in 1937, he undertook some preliminary training at Los Angeles City College in 1940. After the war George wor ' ked for some time with the U.S. Post Office while finishing his pre- dental requirements at S.C. and entered Dental School in 1953. In 1941 he entered the Army Air Corps and was attached to the Intelligence Division. During his tour of duty he saw action on Guam and in Japan. George was also stationed in Hawaii for some time where he met his wife, Jeanefte. She presented him with a fine son, De Wayne, who makes one realize what a hellion George must have been. It is said, however, that son is outrunning his daddy ' s footsteps. George is a rare individual. He is bless- ed with a most even temperment as well OS keen and subtle sense of humor. His tolerance of the Injustices of the staff members is amazing. Where the average student would rant and rave George calmly does it over. Knowing George for four years has been an extreme pleasure. We strongly sus- pect that George will be as much of a success as a Dentist as he already is a success in life. Patient management. All it needs is Holly sugar 92

OWEN VERNAL JENSEN Xi Psi Phi Richfield, Utah ontana Slate College, U.S.C. Owen is one of the chosen few who looks like a successful professional man before he even gets his degree. This Dude of the Dental School is a trans- planted Mormon whose heart still yearns for the promised land of Utah, where he was born, lo these many years ago. He energetically plows his way through jillions of enamel rods just so that he can occasionally dash back to where the sky is not cloudy all day, where the deer and the cantaloupe play. Shotgun and fishing rod clutched in his fat little hands, his eyes glassy with anticipation, he lives just for his Utah vacations, and an occasional sojurn to Lake Arrowhead with his vivacious frau, Pauline. At the age of four, Owen left Brigham Young ' s safari in Ogden, Utah to mi- grate to Richfield, another quaint Utahan hamlet. From there he heeded Uncle Sam ' s beckoning finger and served in the Army until 1946. The attractive school marm from Beverly Hills inspired him to go west , where he undertook a combination predent-premed program at U.S.C. Receiving acceptance from both schools, he and Pauline decided in favor of this one. Owen will alwoys be pleasantly remem- bered for his ever-ready quips — even when burdened by insurmountable ob- stacles such as attempting to wax up six dentures and two partials in one afternoon. More power to you, Owen! Won ' t be a blasted bubble on this casting! Attacking the root canal with determination. 94
