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

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

This impression has more wrinkles than Vit's rear end. DON TWEEDIE El Monte, California Los Angeles State College , 'Asc mt vmedi This way the spit runs down the throat. After graduating from El Monte High School in 1950, Don spent two years defending our country with the U.S. Army. After his tour of active duty he plied his trade as a carpenter while completing his predental studies at L.A. State and Mount San Antonio Colleges. In 1955 a young lady ioined Don in his quest to lay down the hammer and pick up the mallet and chisel. Don did take time on weekends and school vacations to build various and assorted apartment houses and private homes to help finance his way through dental school. When he missed lectures he was undoubtedly out closing some sort of a deal. The standard thing about Don is his easy going never do anybody wrong personality. To not like Don would only indicate psychosis and sickness. Don plans to practice in La Mirada with his crony Bob Vitz. At the present time they are constructing their own offices as a do-it- yourself proiect. After spending several years in the garment iungles of New York, Leon migrated west to the freeway iungles of Southern California. He stayed down San Diego way long enough to pick up a B.S. at San Diego State where he also met his lovely wife. Qur first day in Dental Anatomy proved to us that their marriage was beneficial to Leon, you see, his wife is an R.N. and has access to the gross of band aids Leon was to use over the following four years. Leon cut and bruised himself slightly more often than the rest of his classmates, however, the vigor he showed in caring for these wounds was phenomenal. We will always be indebted to Leon for his prowess in the didactic phases during the first two years, where he led us into the mysteries of the human cellular system and what takes place at the depths of a petri culture plate. Leon had many outside interests while in school and holding down a iob as a medical lab technician was one of them. This was an advantage to the married couples, however, the single men never could understand why we called him the frogman. Leon plans to iourney south with his wife and their little amalgam plugger, where he will associate in the San Diego area.
