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

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

JACK PATTIRSON, A.A., D.D.S. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA Santa Monica City College XI Psi Phi Sure I ' m happy smoking — you ' d be too if you bought these little brown cigarettes! Breathes there never a man who to everyone hath not said why the hell are we doing this? Attitude Jack: I ' ll get it done . . . I ' ll do it tomorrow . . . and he does! Jack, rather than conning, gets conned constantly. He was conned into carving teeth for other students, conned into setting up teeth, conned into showing everyone around him how to do it (lack was a jab technician prior to dental school. He was conned into becoming a working member of the cast of the Christmas Play in our sophomore year, and doing a copper matrix which was checked by all 100 class members. He was conned into becoming class secretary-treasurer during our junior and senior years . . . and an editor of the El Molaro. jack is what you might call a tight-hang-loose. Through all this service to one and all he has managed to get his own work done with superb proficiency. Most of the first two years of dental school Jack spent at Stuby ' s, on the roque court, or mowing the spacious lawns of the apartments he owns (the mortgage on). And, his main hobby is sleeping. His last two years of dental school have been spent at the 901, working on the El Molaro. There aren ' t many things Jack won ' t do for you . . . it ' s a wonder that he has been able to carry his load with such ease and yet accomplish so much in the field of human relations . . . he ' ll make a great dentist!
