n x RONALD ROWE Saratoga, Callfornla San Jose State College Psi Omega Gawd, I hate this place. Ron, the splinter Rowe, will long be remembered for going through dental school from one crisis to another. During one of his daily crises he tried to charge a huge Detroit car with his tiny Volvo. He lost. Despite his slimness, Splinter displayed a huge capacity for consuming large amounts of Corbeys -his favorite booze. During these bouts he always managed to re- main composed and sophisticated. He said he acquired these traits while undergoing rigid, social training on San Francisco's Barbary Coast. On onememorable Psi Omega Bear Hunt, Ron was seen to lose his sophistication. This was no dgubt due to the mountainous altitude coupled with air sickness. Ron's maior crisis came during his senior year when he commuted nightly from the Carabean to Hollywood. The story is a closely guarded secret, but there seems to be some connection with the Oral Hygiene department. Despite all these crises, Ron always managed to meet each deadline, and still find time to help his buddies, partici- pate on the Dental School Basketball Team, and conduct study sessions at Eve's each Friday evening. If there was ever a leader of the Wandering Figueroa Tribe , it would have to be Dick. It's not that he doesn't know where he is going, but it's iust that he doesn't know where it is. Some would call him cool, yet some wouldn't. But those who really knew Dick realized that under this quiet unassuming exterior was a heart of a lion, the tenacity of a bulldog, the quick and cunning eye of an eagle, and the hands of a natural artist. Dick had an easy time at school as a bachelor, but then he got married in his last year he realized the responsibility he had in taking care of his wife. This worried Dick, but after a while he got over this and went on doing his fine dentistry. After leaving school, Dick plans to go in the Army and then return to Los Angeles to retire on what he has. As Dick graduates there is one guess that comes up. Did anyone really know Dick? I'm not sure, but I think I lit the wrong end? RICHARD SCHWARTZ Los Angeles, California U.S.C. Alpha Omega if Jef

was ' u l p DAVID ROSELLINI, BS t Los Angeles, California U.C.L.A. l Psi Omega 4 l forgot it was Tuesday in Crown and Bridge! Dave was born in New York but moved to California when he was quite young. He served in the Navy in San Diego but never went to sea, except for the one exciting ride he had on the Coronado Ferry! Because of his innate love of the water and being a beachcomber, he will probably be the first S.C. Dental graduate to set up his practice on a thirty-plus foot sailboat, which is his idea of utopia lthe sailboat, NOT DENTlSTRY!l. Dave is one person who will never have any financial worries -since he doesn't believe in worrying about money. Of course, his wife may end up with a nervous breakdown! Al l've got a pain right here Rosenblum will long be known as the man who lost his only argument during the winter of 1937. Al will usually be found 9:00 to 5:00 playing bridge in the lounge. One can always tell when Al is playing for he always starts the game with the statement let me tell you guys iust one thing . Al's last year was one of gloom, because he found out that the Giants were better than the Dodgers and that the Rams were lousy even with Purv. Red eye Al came from Culver City where he was a basketball star. He put his talent to good use as a member of the famous Dental School Basketball Team which lost the championship to the School of Architecture after ten hard fought rounds of fisticuffs. Al plans to go into private practice in a building with many M.D.'s so that he can find many sympathetic ears. we . in it Looks like you had a big breakfast kid! ...Q .

in 1 1 Q Jw-N. 'N ' Y to MELVYN SCHWARZ g Los Angeles, California l U.C.L.A. ,Tr Alpha Omega Madam, if you unbutton my shirt just one more time Mel Schwarz lwithout the T l will be remembered best by us as the Politician . He held an office in iust about every class and organization in dental school. Everyone excels in some phase of dentistry and this is Mel's specialty-he's dentistry's answer to David Ben Gurion. He finally got elected Student Body President and no one knows lnot even Mell the duties of the office. However, holding all these offices in iust four short years is an admirable feat in itself, no matter how the fulfillment of duties was accomplished. On weekends, you won't see Mel doing lab work for he'lI be sailing around Playa Del Rey. His love for the sea will undoubtedly sway his thinking as to where to locate after serving his two years in the Army. That is, if he doesn't go to Ortho school first. However, he will have to buy long sleeved, high necked gowns otherwise the superflu- ous amount of hair will either scare the kids off or be forever caught in their bands. Jay is from Utah. He grew up in Utah, took his pre-dental work at BYU, and then left Utah because there iust isn't a dental school there. He would like to go back but this place is getting crowded with dentists, so Jay may settle elsewhere. Jay is a little on the hang loose side. Nothing extreme, but he does have tendencies in that direction to the extent that he would usually be among those staying up all night to meet the technique deadlines. This isn't because he is slow. He iust hadn't been inspired. When Jay became inspired he worked quite rapidly and quite well. Besides studying for tests and doing lab work Jay found time to pay his own way through school and be ASB Secretary. The next two years Jay will probably spend in the Air Force. After that-who knows? Jay will probably practice general dentistry somewhere in the far west.
