if Via DARRELL BELLINGER Bakersfield, California U.C.l..A. W8 'Behove or l'II make you come back next year. Darrell is the first of the three phantoms of our class. You hear him being paged over the P.A. but never see-or hear him. His attendance record is one to behold. There should be a special attendance certificate awarded to him but as usual he probably wouldn't show up to receive it. However, he showed up quite often on the floor and did his share of slow steady work. He was what you might call oblivious. Not only didn't others know he was around but he wasn't aware the others were there either. This was due to his fantastic concentration on his work. He became so engrossed that he never seemed to get anything done. That is until the clutch! Then the would uncoil and the production line boomed. Darrell was slow but he was sure and we know he'll be a sure thing in private practice whenever and wherever he sets up. Wayne had a rather inconspicuous start in dentistry, being the only lab tech. in the U.S. Navy who never even saw the water. After this educational and travel-laden tour of duty, Wayne decided that there wasn't so much to this dentistry stuff, and wandered over to U.S.C. by way of El Camino J.C. At this time, the Bemis-Brann combine was formed and it's still shaking the building. Wayne learned quite a bit from Al, however most of this knowledge was limited to the locker room. Wayne set a hectic pace in the S. 8. T. building in that he was never less than three months ahead of the class and in the clinic, he should have graduated last February. Wayne and his darling wife showed great perseverance and set a record for U.S.C. Their baby was so big that he came into the world shaving, however this didn't shake Wayne, because he gave out small cigars. Old Smiley plans to practice in the South Bay area so that he can be near the water, and if he totals dollars the way he totals points he'll probably hire Al Brann as his lab man. lf Woody could see me now.

WILLIAM BABINE Ramona, California San Diego State Can I have Dr. Bassett's chart please? Good old Bill! That's the first thought that comes to our minds. Bill started dental school a veteran of Korea, Guam, the Charge of San Juan Hill, the Alamo, the Everglades, and, the battle of Bull Bassett. We shall never forget the plastic domed masterpiece presented to Dr. Harrison shortly after Christmas vacation, the gold brocade with purple wax operative display so impressively presented to Dr. Martin, and, the immortal single tooth casting technique of R.W.B. This later one saw Miami Beach, the Roger Young Auditorium, and San Francisco. Bill's abilities don't lie solely in dentistry-he has four boys. Once a student asked Bill, How can I guarantee a male child? Bill answered, Here's the technique: I. Get mate in mood for mating. II. Get mate in mood for mating you. III. Get mate in mood for mating anyone. IV. Give me a phone call. After graduation Bill plans to devote some of his time to teaching dentistry lwe hope at S.C.I, and some to private practice. Also he hopes to finally produce an xx. Dave came to dental school without too much noise and excitement. A refugee teacher from the L. A. City Schools he realized the value of keeping his mouth shut and his ears open. This paid off because he knew what the lectures were about and when the examinations were going to be held. Dave's wife was very proud of him, so proud that she put him through school. Of course, Dave subsidized her income by selling his mother-in-law's fine kosher dill pickles. The pickle-king plans to practice pedo in West Los Angeles. He doesn't have to worry about the service due to his advanced age.

DAVID BERRY San Gabriel, Callfornla Brigham Young University L. Could you repeat that about the arithmetic of disease? Take a boy, send him to Brigham University, and you have a man. Take a man, send him to Virginia and North Carolina, and you have a missionary. Take a missionary, send him to U.S.C.,, and you have a dentist lwith debtsl. Take a dentist twith debtsl and introduce him to a girl, and you have a newlywed dentist Iwith debtsl. Take a newlywed dentist lwith debtsl, and add the blue of the Air Force, and you have a blue Air Force dentist iwithout debtsl. Thus, our Dave is many people, I all of them quiet, dignified, and ready to practice. The rebel from Brentwood has added a lot of color to the four years we've spent together in dental school. Al is famous for posing questions which keep our mentors on their toes. He has an inquisitive mind, demands proof, and loves a good verbal scuffle. Under Al's nonchalant devil-may-care exterior, there is a very serious student. He does excellent work and was one of the first mem- bers of our class to develop an ulcer. On weekends he takes his ulcer out flying, skiing, sailing, or skin diving for relaxation. He is also the only member of our class to' take a sailfish halfway to Catalina and paddle the rest of the way. lt may be that he's trying to give his wife an ulcer too. Al is entering the Air Force, and after his tour of duty is completed will return to Brentwood and practice good Dentistry. v I-T-Tffsif yi i'TEaagTT 4 wg, I don't mean to contradict you Rex, but I think l han dled that weIl. y 121' ALLAN BRANN i Brentwood, California Santa Monica City College Delta Sigma Delta
