f K l ERNEST TANAKA Los Angeles, California U.S.C. l l What do you mean we all look alike? W Ernie was the Dr. Jekyl of dental school. On the surface he appeared to be a very quiet, studious and sedate member of our class, but in real life he was many other things. First he was a world wide traveler who has had many a young lady beside her- self with ioy at the sight of his approach. He was also a world famous photographer having had many of his shots printed in national magazines, one of which is the 1963 El Nlolaro. He is' to bowling what Rex lngraham is to operative dentistry. He has participated in, and won many tournaments dhring the four years at dental school. Actually Ernie is what we like to call a nice -guy . Contrary to the familiar adage, he didn't finish last. He plans on spending a few years with his Uncle Sam and then venture into private practice in Los Angeles. Bill is another member of the class from the land of the seagulls land locustsl-Salt Lake City, Utah, where he did his predental work at the University of Utah. He is probably most noted for his slight resemblance to his brother, Dr. Henry Tanner. Both of them grew faster than their hair. Those who worked with him will never forget the finesse with which he did his work, espe- cially in the anatomy lab, and the construction of flaps in Oral Surgery. While in his iunior year he gained the A.T.E. award for his excellent technique work. He gained valuable experience in managing money by being secretary-treasurer of the Senior Class. As he has been in the Utah Air National Guard Bill won't be touring the world after graduation. He and his wife, and their son, Brent, plan to set up practice in California. You mean Freddy made you do that over?! WILLIAM TANNER Salt Lake City, Utah University of Utah 'L

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!

A SP'- PAUL TAYLOR, BS Los Angeles, California U.S.C. Psi Omega sk , i l 5 l Just keep one foot on the ceiling. A Paul came to us, a quiet unassuming single Freshman. It wasn't too very long before he met his lovely wife and took on the responsibilities of a home and family. It was at this time he became very dynamic, asking questions in every lecture. When Jake decided to run for Secretary of the Sophomore Class, Paul wasn't to be outdone. He ran against Thompson and came out the victor. However Paul is still trying to nickle and dime Jake for the money he paid for his class dues which were never collected. One of Paul's outstanding characteristics is his ability to come late no matter what time he gets up. We almost lost Paul when he tried to out do Brann in a verbal contest between himself and Dr. Marwah. However he didn't care-he got an A from the DAUP. l In September 1959 Price Utah sent forward a seagull carrying a green stick in the form of John Thompson. Although young, shy, innocent, and sedate at that time, the next four years proved to be a transformation period for Jake. Gradually the milk and punch refreshments were replaced by coffee and other stimulating spirits. These new traits gained for him the.. unchallenged position of leader of the Reformed Movement. Being thoroughly indoctrinated by his brother, Jake began to live like a dental student. He ioined the Delts and moved into the notorious Annex where he was named patriarch. Jake has always been an ardent supporter of the Delt annual Goat Party and on one of these excursions developed an unbecoming interest in potted plants. Jake's prowess with dissection in the freshman anatomy lab exemplified the many hurdles which he later encountered and mastered. Our stick plans on remaining in Southern California and will practice with his brother in West Covina. To this end he has cornered the market on F5557 carbide burrs and amalgam. The personification of everything rotten. X I i t fr , , .lol-iN THOMPSON if l 2 Price, Utah l 5 is- . Q .T id 1 ' if A r Carbon College if F N I Delta Sigma Delta A f E . f 1 , ..,.,. V . Ns s
