EEEEEK . . . kill It, kill It! JERALD MARK MEDWAY, D.D.S. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA Los Angeles City College Santa Monica City College University of Southern California Alpha Omega Happy Hanukkah to you, too ' ' I wonder what I will do with the next three months? Jerry finished his clinic requirements early, and promptly decided rather than wear himself out he would spend some time with his favorite pasttimes . . . swimming, the banjo, and scouting (what would Freudman say about that?). For the past four years Jerry has worked hard and has completed things early, leaving him time for experimental work such as his new denture impression technique. The technique was discarded when the patient went into syncope and was taken to the hospital. He was rarely seen around the technique building unless working on a project. FHe is very rarely seen at the clinic, except for an occasional patient. Most of the rest of the time is spent somewhere else. Jerry hasn ' t as yet made any definite plans for the future, but whatever he does he is bound to be a rapid success. ... I see — you say ■ ' like spokes of a wheel . . . 128

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

Ya, I ' m saluting- what ' s It to ya? JACK MEGERDICHIAN, A.A., D.D.S. KESSAB, SYRIA Los Angeles City College Into the calm and serenity of those first days in the S and T stumbled our little old Syrian fisherman friend, With a puff of smoke and a hardy I doon knoow, he whirred into action with elbows, arms, and flashy footwork. So enthusiastic is the old ' 69er that he has been seen beginning at the wrong end of those long, long check lines. A note of tragedy has touched our hero, however, as it must touch all those who traverse this four-year tragi-comedy. The downfall came in the middle of the first act as the Megers was carving one of those fine wax teeth only to have it stolen as he was nearing completion by the flighty villain of our talc. Oh foul deed! The villain was a blue jay. Undaunted, lack made a direct assult upon the clinic ... at least he established a firm beachhead on the ping pong table. It has been rumored that the class has lost a total of 100 pounds trying to beat the flashy master. Jack seemed to have more English on the ball than he did in his vocabulary. Fine man and hardy soul . . . peace! . . a camel with license numtjer HOH 69 is blocking the loading dock!
