Doctor Don Izumila, a patient Doctor Don Izumita, a patient DONALD H. IZUMITA, D.D.S. SAN GABRIEL, CALIFORNIA University of Southern California Delta Sigma Delta Don Hep Nip Izumita has to be the easiest guy who has gone through dental school. Anyone in need of cash merely had to engage him in a bridge or poker game. Between his inability to make a good bet, and his knack for doing or saying the wrong thing at the wrong time on the clinic floor, Don was constantly in a state of depression. It was suggested that he take up gardening, but he doesn ' t know a weed from a lawn sprinkler! When asked if suicide might be the answer, he replied, I ' ve thought about it, but I ' d probably screw it up too and be in deep pain for weeks! Don ' s plans after graduation consist of worrying about what he failed on the State Board, followed by two months of disbelieving that he is really out of school! Don ' s dental school highlights include receiving a B in Endo and then flagging the course twice, successively! He claims his recall gradually diminished after Dr. Murphy complimented him on being the only student in twenty years to get 100% on a prosthetics test! No one who has known Don will ever forget his amazing career at use . . . Good luck, Nip. Doctor Don Izumila, a patient 109

You don ' t tell I got my diploma early, Jan, and I won ' t tell him you smoke! DAVID HILL, D.D.S. TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA University of Southern California Delta Sigma Delta Dave has distinguished himself in dental school in more ways than one. He is one of the better operators, one of the best golfers, and potentially the first to enter the movies from the class of 1966, for as Mr. Miller, he may sojurn to Africa, in the role of great white hunter! He may be ready for the role, if he ever gets his anterior ceramco ' s. Dave is the only one in the class to wear temporaries for a year and one-half! Dave ' s many friends include Dr. Cullett . . . they ' re both golfers! In the senior year Dave moved in with his bohemian roommate in a small castle near campus, and the ants promptly moved in too. Only one serious problem worries Dave . . . that is, he has to pay two dollars for a haircut . . . but then if his hair outlasts his ' 51 Olds it ' ll be worth it. Graduation will see Dave associating while setting up his very own practice. Whata ya want? You got to be -

ROBERT J. HUBBERT, D.D.S. CLENDALE, CALIFORNIA Clendale Cil ' Collegp Psi Omega Alpha Tau Epsilon Bob is probably one of the most personable members of our class. He is impatient, and has an almost insatiable desire to succeed in whatever he undertakes. Dental school held great future promise for him and he for it. Bob has been a key figure in correcting some of the correctible idiosyncrasies of dental school. He started the monthly publication The Explorer, in 1964. Using this as a sounding board for expression, he wound up with another job (the publication of the Student Directory) . . . you may remember the poor quality ana even poorer delivery date of the previous directories (it is now enjoyable reading, useful, and delivered to us tor use on time). He is responsible for the quality of layout, the typesetting, a good portion of the photography, and much of the content of this book. He has involved himself in politics, too . . . working untiringly for the election of candidates of his choice — they won! He made every effort to get the most out of his dental education, and was given the opportunity to audit post-graduate courses by being elected to the Honors Program in December of his senior year ... he also was awarded membership in the dental school honor fraternity Alpha Tau Epsilon. Being five or six years older than many of us (he doesn ' t look it) probably gives some basis for his impatience to start practicing dentistry in Tustin, California, becoming active in his church and community affairs, going water skiing at every opportunity, and, oh yes . . . he and his lovely wife, Sharon, plan to have a bunch of kids and live in a house on a hill. How many times do I have to tell you, Russ, NO silk on the over wax! I don ' t give a damn if he doesn ' t like it . . pour it up — I know Its correct ' South of the border 110
