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!

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

MICHAEL MILLER, D.D.S. COLTON, CALIFORNIA San Bernardino Valley College PsI Omega Alpha Tau Epsilon there ' s nothing in it for me! aL? Mike, the Colton kid, is the most innocent looking member of our class — one can hardly believe his literary prowess . . . writing for an Old Testament analogue (a local publication — now defunct. His individualistic spirit was exemplified when he refused to take an operative midterm on the day of President Kennedy ' s assassination. He slammed his paper on the front desk and stomped out. Incidently, he never took a makeup and received an A from Dr. Quint. After his election as Psi Omega prexy there were rumors that his sweet voice and lamb-like mannerisms were dispelled with two beers . . . the mountain Bear Hunt seemed to prove this! As a hunter, he is the only one to receive the honor of shooting a deer and a pheasant in the same year (luck) — especially when seven others were shooting at the same bird. Mike ' s interests lead him to San Bernardino County where he intends to practice. It has been mentioned that Baker is in S. B. County. Here he may be able to use his talents to write addendums for his favorite literary works . . . such as Operative Atlas II. His individualism gives us great comfort in that there are some left! whew — why not try Mennen speed stick? nm a piece of what? 130
