M. DALE NELSON, B.S., D.D.S. OCDEN, UTAH Brigham Young Universrty I put my plunger in his tube and presto — I ' ve got all the hydrocolloid I need! Dale the Mechanic Nelson. Being a teacher of mechanics before dental school has not changed Dale ' s outlook at all. He has found that one of the big differences between auto mechanics and dentistry is that the rubber dam will adapt more quickly to a patient ' s teeth than to an auto engine. Dale never found a neurotic car that couldn ' t adjust to wearing new dentures! You would think his being an ex-teacher would help him to understand the problems of lecturing to a class, but the only problem Dale seems to understand is that of the students staying awake during lecture, it has been rumored that Dale was heard muttering to himself after waking up from an O.D. lecture . . . could I have been that bad when I was teaching? He plans to enter private practice after graduation in the San Dimas area ... or possibly in Utah! Dale and his wife, Barbara, have two sons. Dale, Jr., and Don. my hand, Brother Joe, my hand! 134 Dale Nelson . . to where? i

Let ' s see — behind and to the left I GEORGE A. PAPAZIAN, B.M., D.D.S. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA Los Angeles City College Los Angeles State College University of Southern California Xi Psi Phi George Papazian, a local refuge from the Armenian colony, came to us from the ranks of school teachers. A gifted violinist in his own right, he has appeared with the Pasadena Symphony Orchestra, the Doctor ' s Symphony Orchestra, and a special duet with Dr. Galanter! He has distinguished himself in the Trojan marching band as a mainstay in the tuba section. He started out as a mild-mannered freshman dental student, but has since decided that that was for the birds. So he proceded to develop an Eidson stare that would shake Rene himself. He has also developed a policy of putting instructors back in their places when they get too big for their stripes! The 1960 green monster has been pretty elusive during the years in dental school for George had his car stolen at least twice in that time. He hopes to trade the mint green thing for a Corvette, provided the car is still around at the time. Wedding bells will ring for George following graduation. He will join with a fine young thing from Palos Verdes who has a hint of a southern accent. Then he plans to spend two years in the Air Force before settling down to private practice. What the hell are you doing with my handpiece? Where ' s the dressing room? 136
