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

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

I like kids. . . huh, huh! A WILLIAM EDELL, D.D.S. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA San Diego State Universitv of California at Los Angeles K Bill Edell belongs to a small elite group categorized as super seniors. He is also known to a few by the name of Frank Cifford {a faomus football hero), although in no way does he image one! He has developed an allergy to eight o ' clock classes and only the threat of a quiz will stir him from the rack. His hobbies include fishing, golf, and girls. When he is fishing, you would swear he was under the influence of Dilantin, but the fish apparently have a distorted view and bite anvwav His frustrations are eliminated on the golf course, and we have actually seen the rare reverse curve of a Class II preparation transferred to a putter following one of his famous shots. The people of Nogales, Mexico refer to him as the midnight singer ... he was obsenv ed singing Cuadalahara at the top of his lungs in the rain with six inches of mud over his shoes one night!
