i ROBERT VITZ, BS, MS Los Angeles, California University of Wisconsin Psi Omega Look busy! Ruth's watching. With a crew hair cut and Ivy League slacks Bob came to Dental School fr6SI1 OUT af high School-where he was a life science teacher. Having an ex-anatomy teacher at our discretion table in anatomy lab really shook us boys up-until the first exam. Then we knew he was iust another one of the boys. Besides also being an ex-engineer, Bob held the distinction of having been in the Navy during the big war. This greatly impressed the younger set who constantly looked toward Bob for guidance- especially in Dental Anatomy and Prosthetics. He was one of the first to have all of his Inky teeth carved and his denture all set up, only to have to set up the denture three more times. Bob's skill in prosthetics followed through to the clinic where he advocated that the quickest and easiest way to get ten points was to do a rebase. To say that his skill lay only in technique courses would be uniust for there are those of us who will never forget, or let him forget, his didactic achievements in Biochemistry. Bob's popu- larity during his freshman year got him elected as 2nd vice president of the Dental School and House Manager of Psi Omega Fraternity. Bob plans to go into private practice in the Costa Mesa area which he hopes will be far enough away that Don Voyne will cease borrowing all of his equipment. Don is one of the more colorful members of our class. Can I borrow a spatula? After earning his letter in football at U.S.C., he settled down to tackle the curriculum at the S 8. T building. Got a piece of base plate wax? There, Don earned his letter in bio- chemistry as evidenced by his term paper which he still claims snowed Dr. Bavetta. Do you have a wax carver? Being a pseudo biochemist earned Don the friendship of many in the department such as Dr. Bobo, Pat O'Day and others. Let me have a Jo dandy? 'Being the class iock, Don was chosen to plan the sporting activities of the class. Got a I0-4-8? Besides living a bush schedule at school Don played on the U.S.C. rugby team and has appeared on numerous T.V. shows. Hand me your vac-u- spat! Over at the clinic building, Don was one of the hardest workers continuously seeing points and piling up the patients. Hey! lend me your flasks. He was quite elated over the fact that the clinic pants would be tailored to fit so he wouldn't con- stantly have to stretch during exams. Got a cleoid? Don plans to practice in L.A. and l'm sure he will do his customary fine work and be quite successful. That is provided his associate has a complete set of Coe perforated trays. Hurrry up! Vitz wants his face-bow back -'il' DONALD VOYNE, BS l North Hollywood, California - U.S.C. Delta Sigma Delta 5 r -J-L. n-J-.

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.

FRED WALL Long Beach, California Brigham Young University Xi Psi Phi Q Hai Buddy! ' H' r ' its fitgigs Freddy, alias Frutch, alias Buddy, alias numerous other personal profanities too numerous to mention, was one of our products from Long Beach. Between Santa Anita, Hollywood Park, Caliente, Los Alamitos, Freddy found time to do a little dentistry. In fact, he did so little that he was far out when most of us were in the home stretch. However, with his typical Silky Sullivan style, he managed to finish with the rest of us buddies, Freddy courted and married a cute little filly during his iunior year. She has slightly cured his passion for the track by not giving him any money so Freddy stays home more and comes to school even less now. When he does show he is usually late and he enters with his usual little wave and the whispered Hiya Buddy. Freddy will be doing a two year hitch with the USAF and then return to practice somewhere in the Southland. He will be a consci- entious member of the profession as well as an avid fan when they are off and running. Watching the underslung body and twitching fingers of Ron Walton rumble through the clinic, one knows that he has oozed into our midst from only one place on earth-the land of grease and rat packs otherwise known as San Bernardino. Ron has always been able to take it in school, probably because he trained by spending his weekends fighting the Colton rat packs. Ron quit greasing his hair when he found out it was thinning. Ron is one of the most good-natured members of the class which is borne out by the fact that he is still lending things to Voyne. Ron plans to enter into private practice in the southland.
