es 'I ERNEST NAGAMATSU Garden Grove California 1-Q. ,mx East Los Angeles Junior College I fi ' 1 Next time we'll attack on the Bth. Ernie Nagamatsu . . . the kamakazi kid , with his bright smile, friendliness, and winning personality has been a check plus-er right from the freshman year. He's been the only student in the history of dental school who could limit his practice in the clinic to nice looking females between the ages of 'I6 and 22. He had his senior Class ll and Ill Foil requirements completed before the end of the summer semester and hasn't let up since. Ernie is ambitious, capable, and full of drive. Ernie has given much time and effort serving the class and the Dental School as a student body officer, councilman, artist, ambassador to the dental hygienist, and etc. ln line with the current trend, Ernie is headed for Orange County. From the tough side of San Pedro emerged a fine gentleman dental student in Harold Olsen. Harold traded in his tool box for a scab box upon arriving at U.S.C. via El Camino College. Ollie las his many friends call.himl converted his talents as a former auto mechanic, dock worker, and life time reservist to become one of the top men in his class. The Psi Omega Fraternity and the Olsen family go hand in hand as Harold became President while his wife became president of the Psi Omega Wives Club. Ollie will be remembered for his ready smile, enthusiasm, card playing, and most of all, his eloquent use of the English language during times of crisis. The Olsen family plans to open shop in Orange County upon graduation. There is no doubt that Harold will have a successful and booming practice. Hey man! This is dentistry.

l s KENT MORRIS Cedar City, Utah University of Utah , Xi Psi Phi ,age 4 I-4 wash our hands. The metamorphosis of Kent Morris started four years ago when he entered U.S.C. With each year of married life, he has be- come more and more outspoken and broad minded. One thing which hasn't changed is his fine character and high quality work. From his excellent dissections to his work in the clinic, Kent will use as much time as he deems necessary to insure a perfect result. This led to his award for the overall excellent student of the sophomore year. Of course this clidn't stop him from participating in summer clinics last year. Kent's outside activities include poaching deer, building stereo sets, and bicycle trips at noon time. He is also widely known for his ability to blow out candles with his eyes-the secret of this amazing trick has been revealed only to his closest friends. Cedar City's proud favorite hit Southern California with an impact that is not soon to be forgotten. A scorched trail has been permanently branded into the Santa Ana Freeway and new records have been set in travel time from La Mirada to S.C. Floyd is loaded with spirit and drive. All of this continued through the days of school work resulting in a tremendous amount of superb clinical work being completed. As Crown and Bridge is his specialty, Floyd turned it out by the pound lot. He lost track of the number of units produced after only a few months in the clinic. Private practice in Pomona beckons, and Floyd and his wife will establish themselves in this community. Floyd should be able to work at least six operatories and have plenty of time for some welcome trips back to the Rockies for relaxation.

THOMAS OSTMAN, BA Yorba Linda, California University of the Pacific I f , . Please! not another of your lousy iokes Pat. Tom is a man of infinite wisdom, ideal iudgment, and he also does good dentistry. He has done much with his years and this wizened fellow has had many experiences before entering dental school. Tom was a member ofthe U.S. Water Polo Team in the Pan American Games, a graduate of U.O.P., a veteran Navy pilot, a fine water skier, and a formful snow skier. Possessed of a brilliant mind, Tom has been content to popularize the adage of C for cool . His fine work has distinguished him amongst his classmates, though. He enioys a few nice cold beers every now and then, good scotch anytime, and Friday nights always. His pet peeves are left wingers, people who ask questions in class, and prosthetics. After graduation, Tom plans to set up prac- tice in Lynwood. He'll commute from Yorba Linda where he has his new home, family, and boat. It happened twenty-four years ago. Some say it was a blessing-yet others, well this remains to be seen. As the maturation period progressed we found that this individual had certain pleasures that only a few enioy. Encouraging this individual to put down his bacon sandwich and go to High School we found there was no method of allaying the ideals of this soon to be Dental Student. Relying entirely on an electro-mechanical device termed Snooze , our future dental student started his way toward his ultimate goals. We're not sure what the cause is, or was, but, somehow this device would fail and our distraught student would have great difficulty in making the 8:00 o'clock lecture. Once in attendance he was attentive and alert. Normally he would scribble notes, contribute to the sign-up sheets, and do his daily tasks in order. But one day a question concerning crown and bridge pressed beyond containment. We're not sure exactly what it was, but we recall it was in regard to the Ho Diamond or pulling rings in water baths. After this classic expression of attentiveness our aspiring student looked forward to the challenge of the day. This is, in short, Douglas Robert Oswell. We expect his endeavors and future plans will continue with as much success as he has had through our brief but expanding acquaintanceship. His plans include a two year visit with Uncle Sammy after which an office on the Blvd. lt has been rumored if Doug does 20 or more canals he'll be awarded a pair of custom Endo Shoes . Maybe I should have gone into business with my DOUGLAS OSWELL Los Angeles, California U.S.C. Alpha Omega
