Press the button when the engine turns ROGER DENNIS, D.D.S. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA Bngham Young University El Camino College Psi Omega What Roger did prior to the advent of the ping pong table we are not sure, but we are sure that it saved his life . . . if not to say his wife! He plays the game with such force and vengeance that there cannot possibly be any Worry, Anxiety or Fear remaining. When his slams are on, he in unbeatable. When they are off, the table gets the beating. Dentistry to Roger is as serious a game as ping pong! He plays it with vengeance, accomplishing myriads of work in a short time. Bridge and golf are his other tension relievers, or in the case of golf, creator. He excels at both activities. Even with all this extracurricular activity, he still finds time to frequent the 901, where he joins in playful and frivolous conversation about our four-year enforced environment and its captors. The ADA Convention in Las Vegas produced a few walletal scars and very little sleep for him. Dentistry is a career we know Roger will enjoy . . . and it will benefit from his many talents. I ran this special pipe from the 901, see and . . . 86

Fidele was reprimanded often during the Oral Stage . . . he was in seventh heaven when he entered the Anal Sta ge . . . and has a fixation at that level. Fidele ' s most difficult time in school was when the Cuban uprising occurred . . . and, oh yes, when finals came around. He is always seen during breaks and lunch hours with a cup of Java in hand. He holds the distinction of having a ping-pong ball landing in his cup five times, staining his shirt only once! . . . Wienke ' s shirt was hit the other four times. After graduation he plans to enter the Air Force or get married . . . whichever will get him away from Jerry! Don ' l ask me, Al — perio IS my field . . .1 85

I ' m a boy You can ' t fool us Mormons . . Brent — will you knock off the whistlmg? RICHARD R. DESPAIN, D.D.S. GRANITE, UTAH University of Utah Utah State University Alpha Tau Epsilon Dick began his dental school career as a typical hard-working sea gull. He did well both didactically and technically. He performed especially well when it came to the many projects requiring skilled hands. Always on time, never late, always there, he could be counted upon when a helping hand was needed. When that bridge prep was due, he had it done. If everyone checked someone elses matrix band, he made his own . . . when Richard reached the clinic, his skill expanded by leaps and bounds. He even had time for an occasional game of ping pong — at which, incidently, he excells. Dick never believed in the admonition, be anonymous! He has made his presence felt throughout the past four years. He listened avidly as the gang recounted their thrilling excursions to the Boom Boom Room. Taking all of it in over a period of several months, he decided he just had to see this phenomenon for himself, and was finally persuaded to make the trip. The Room lived up to all of his expectations . . . and his trips became more frequent! He plans to return to Salt Lake City where we are sure he will establish a successful practice . . . but there may be that yearning for another trip to Gardena! 87
