LAWRENCE RILEY MARTIN, D.D.S. TEHACHAPI, CALIFORNIA University of California at Santa Barbara Delta Sigma Delta I heard the call They say that only jack rabbits grow in Tehachape, but we al know that ' s the home of Little Stevie Wonder. Steve doesn ' t ask many questions and never lets the patient talk, but silently works away to conquer mountains that sometimes seem unattainable. During dental school Larry has been known as the bubbly little fellow that is game for anything. Besides being active in sports and learning how to get rained upon while camping in two short weeks, he has always found time to bomb any test the professors could think up. While attaining the didactic award in his junior year, Larry still has time for a quick game of pong or to sit on the steps of the Founder ' s Hall and eat lunch. After a hitch in the Army Larry plans for a general practice and will always be a credit to USC. Keep your hancK over his eyes while I get the syringe out . . . i Vjr i Where did I get this one? 126

He swallowed the casting . . . GARY MALOTT, D.D.S. VAN NUYS, CALIFORNIA Sacramento State College University of California at Los Angeles This guy won ' t sit still- jab him in the lip again, honey! If one were to walk into the student lounge this year and hear a fwapp as a ping pong ball was being slammed down Megerdichian ' s throat, most likely Gary would be found on the giving end of the delivery. A fine ping pong player, and champ of this popular noontime sport, Gary demonstrates that he has some fine hands going for him also — most of the time, that is! His freshman year found him getting a little fancy with his slam hands and he polished a hole in his three-unit bridge! No one knows why Gary goes into tachycardia three weeks before anything is due . . . because he always comes out in great shape, maintaining a 3.0 g.p.a. When his Class V foil fell out at the S and T he had good reason to regress to a previous learned state . . . Duco came to the rescue, and he got it checked off. Gary and Andrea have been married since they were eighteen. Scrimping to get through school, they finally cancelled their loan in Gary ' s senior year and fell in with the Mustang set. Gary ' s interests center around water sports and camping. Last summer he and Bo Martin had their wives pack their gear into the Trinity Alps for a marvellous week ' s wilderness trip. After serving in the Army Gary plans to build a practice somewhere in Southern California. Swaanee, how I love ya

Now that ' s what I call a real beaver shot! Ah, come on Bob — take my picture when I am m operative . . . McCook — look back here . . . don ' t be a ham! JAMES McCOOK, D.D.S. RIALTO, CALIFORNIA San Bernardino Valley College Coming to dental school fresh from the corrupting influence of San Bernardino, where he specialized in rain running, Jim made a big hit at USC! He immediately developed an intense love for prosthetics and Murph was his best Dental God. Time passed and Cookie began saving lives and healing the sick for real at the clinic. Here they characteristic McCloud three-ring circus started. First, he fell in love with Clara . . . then, while other students were on the L.S.D. jag, )im became a premedication and second division block specialist. By the way, he ' ll extract a tooth with an elevator if it kills him! Actually, he is one of the finest operators in our class. His dentistry is consistently good ... at least the Silver Fox and Rene the Ripper think enough of it to give him lab jobs! But, dentophobia has taken its toll . . . James is ( ompletely incapable of doing a Class III foil without patting his head six times or twirling his colic on the crown of his head with his fingers ... he must derive some tremendous sensual pleasure from this (Nate Freudman, the B.S. man, is so enthralled bv this manifestation, that he wants Jim to associate with him). We are sure Jimmy will accept if Nate can fix it so Jim can take his flossie blanket and flatus tube into the Navy for two years! We have no doubts about Jim ' s future in dentistry . . . success will follow him as in the past (as long as he drives the freeways when his eyes are open! 127
