JON STANDLEE Whlttler, Callfornla l X B University of Arizona V Delta Sigma Delta Well what does she mean by that? The Fog is known for his ability to roll in from his home town of Whittier to the S.C. Campus and arrive with his eyes closed in restful slumber. One of his sporting endeavors is to squeeze his small car into equally'small spaces between ccjs traveling at fast speeds. His main love on the freeway is baiting the frantic driver who is late and wishes to pass the Red Chariot. As a clinician, he has excelled in prosthetics. Here, much of his superiority was due to special training under a well known prosthodontist during his senior summer session. Only one person could not find the elusive centric-that person was the pa- tient. Jon now has a complete selection. of sample dentures with which he will use to start his practice. Our little cherub came to dental school with fame in mind and he found it during the very first year. He bore a striking resemblance to Dr. John Soule, and rumor has it that he was actually a stand-in for him during those trying microflics. The funny part of the whole thing is that Braden commutes daily with a silver-haired, lanky person who somewhat resembles Roy Robinson. Most amazing. Braden will probably be getting a special award in practice administration, and undoubtedly, Dr. Conely will be inter- viewing him to find his secret to success. So anxious are his patients that one or two extras drop by each day swearing that they had an appointment. However, you can't blame them. He is a very gentle, conscientious, and exacting dentist, and gains their confidence easily. If patients had a concept of quality work, Braden would have a regular fan club meeting out in the waiting room each day. Luckily for him, only we and the instructors know. ln spite of this idiosyncracy, the future looks bright for our little cherub. lf Russ says this margin is open l'll . . . 1 ' BRADEN STAUTS Reno, Nevada University of Nevada X

. KAY SMITH W Shelley, Idaho . Brigham Young University I x ln fact I want a chair right now Janel i K. Smith is a nice easy going, helpful pessimist whg with his wife hails from Shelley, Idaho via BYU. As his first two initials K. and G: denote, he is really quite a cagey fellow. Throughout his four years here at U.S.C. we've heard him say There's iust not enough time, or I'll never be finished, or lt probably won't fit. It would seem K.G.'s psychological preparedness and nega- tiveness would surely make Norman Vincent Peale retch. However we found that 'Ole K.G. was a dentist before he came here and has iust been taking a four year refresher course. But anyhow, it's lucky lucky lucky for him, that cagey character, that we didn't know he was not like all the rest of us, but instead knew all along what he was doing all these four years. Ron as his friends call him, comes from East L.A. That's right mon , East L.A. Ron's environment both home and at school tends to give him heartburn. At home it's the tacos, burritos, tamales, and beer llots of itl. At school its the burning Eidson stares combined with the stomach knotting clinics. Ron was really a bundle of burns during clinics-complete with profuse sweating and tremors resembling delirium tremens. However, he always managed to come through due to his hard work and conscien- tious effort coupled with complete concentration. He was always one to improve continually. Many guys stagnatecl but Ron was improving. He was always axslow starter but a fast finisher. In private practice in the Santa Barbara area, Ron will be a dentist the profession and especially U.S.C. will be proud of. I wonder why I'm seeing double.

R i DAVID srEPHENsoN V H Anaheim, California ek M l U.S.C. Yes, yes . . . zzzzzzzzzzz This cool, pipe-smoking sophisticate came to us fresh from four years at U.S.C. where he maiored in Baseball. He was so good, in fact, that he got a scholarship the first year. He was so good the next three years that Rod Dadeaus let him watch Ron Fairly from the bench. Immediately after his sophomore year marriage, following a whirlwind courtship which had foamed sud- denly into existence only seven years before, he became owner of two prized possessions-a VW and a Stereo. He was particu- larly happy with this new-found affluence, because Dave had a tough existence as a child lhe was one of those whose fathers didn't work-iust a copl. Another fremendous thing about this marriage was that it gave Dave a mother-in-law. She in turn gave him a pair of heart-covered shorts for Valentine's Day. These in turn gave us many moments of levity. He wore them oncef Dave's finest moment came when the Air Force actually took him in. But when he discovered it was the U.S. Air Force, he shed bitter tears, for he thought he was applying to theluftwaffe. He has always been partial to German products, and has consistently changed the bad blood question on the Medical History to non-aryan blood. Anaheim Fats plans to set- tle in that fair city and he ought to be good at settling. We've noticed he's been doing it for four years. Tad sneaked into the dental school with his shoes in his hand and walking on his tip toes. He never put his shoes on and he was always on his toes throughout the remainder of dental school. Tad never said much during school but he always carried a brief case whose contents were unknown for a long time. During the senior year the class was so enthralled over the mystery con- cerning the contents of said brief case that a wild plan was devised to find out what the brief case contained. One weekend when Tad was in Tiiuana for a bowling tournament a group sneaked in his apartment and opened the brief case and found an affidavit that certified he was a member of the third section. Tad didn't want anyone to know this so he always kept it to himself. Tad plans to return to Santa Barbara and practice quiet conservative dentistry with his business advisor and consultant Buz Pierce. 4 w s l Man, that really cracks me up!
