Notice the hoop, its shadow, the ball, the mallet, my legs, arms, nose, pompador and bald spot are all aligned before I strike . . . No lady, I ' m not clawing on your face. Well, its better than a safe deposit box at First National . . . REX PETERS, D.D.S, SAN BERNARDINO, CALIFORNIA Pomona College Delta Sigma Delta Alpha Tau Epsilon It has been said that Rex Peters, for years, has polished his head with Wesson oil! So that is what makes you sparkle so much, Rex! We just got word that the freshmen want you to come grind in their typodonts for them. They may not feel so bad if you tell them you used three sets of teeth as a freshman. Or, maybe you can ' t help the sophs mount their teeth for the manikin — yours were so beautiful . . . unforgetable! Rex has the singly unique distinction of being engaged to a goose girl. His golden goose girl is named Donna, and admittedly, she is very pretty and rightly deserves the role of owning the golden goose egg (Walter). Rex, the mighty kid from the hot plains of San Bernardino, via Pomona College, probably remembers how he and the Rabbit sneaked into the freshman lab to view their models ... or the wild San Clemente beach party that took Rex over a week to regain his equilibrium. We hope. Rex, that you don ' t get too mad at the swabbies in the Navy. Well, ole ' buddy is going down the aisle of destiny this June with his goose girl, and we cannot think of a better thing that could happen to such a great friend! 139
