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

The hands Slop chewy DAVID W. PARK, B.S., D.D.S. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA Los Angeles City College University of Southern California Xi Psi Phi Alpha Tau Epsilon Dave Goldtinger Park, two years older than Buddha, is our own Korean heritage. Meticulous, inscrutable, master of the Oriental arts of beer drinking and crown and bridge, Dave managed to get top grades in his own technique work, while doing enough of everybody else ' s to insure them of a passing grade. Scorning the juvenile pursuits of ping pong and bridge, Dave preferred the more mature leisure-time activity of wandering around the clinic enjoying the views with Dr. Dickson. Most frequently at night, or on some weekend day you ' re most apt to find him at a sporting event of some kind . . . football, basketball, baseball, waterpolo, etc. He knows the names of the players in these various sports, along with all of tluMr vital statistics and idiosyncrasies. He ' ll tell you when they are going to pass, and when a run will be tried, who ' ll make the next basket, or when the coach will take them out. An outstanding dentist at this point in his career, Dave is destined to be one of the finest practitioners in our profession. whew — garlic on this one, loo! 137
