Yes, I got all A ' s on my exams again Now while that ' s setting I ' ll go over to the graduation exercises . . . don ' t go ' way . . . Mother, I ' ve got ya right where I want ya! VICTOR S. SCHWARTZ, B.S., D.D.S. WEST LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA Ljniversity of Southern California Alpha Omega Alpha Tau Epsilon Voracious Victor has not stopped going since that first day at the S and T. He was always the first to complete any project and the first to re-do it! One point in his favor, however, is that by doing everything twice, he had gained twice the experience! When Vic does things, they ' re done all the way. He decided to have his teeth straightened in our sophomore year ... he has gone all the way to graduation, and they ' re still on! He wore his external head gear twenty-four hours a day, shortening the time of treatment by one-half! He is now one of the few members of our class to have perfect occlusion. Vic was awarded membership in ATE our junior year for his excellent scholastic ability. Since that first day in the clinic when the rest of us were listening to orientation speeches, he was on the clinic floor scaling a patient ' s teeth in preparation for his first operative clinic . . . few have approached his point total. Victor always helped those that sat around him . . . first there was Lyn Schiveley, then Tom Sawyer, and finally, Danny Warner. Yes, Victor deeply moves those around him! He will always be remembered for having turned in his crown and bridge typodont first, finishing his requirements first, and never borrowing from his neighbor! After graduation he will spend two years with the United States Public Health Department, then practice in West Los Angeles. 147

Clean body, clean mind, clean DAVID SKERSICK, B.A., D.D.S. VAN NUYS, CALIFORNIA Pepperdme Collpgo Delta Sigma Delta That first year of dental school might have been hell for Dave, had it not been for the little boost he got from his neighbors in prosthetics, dental anatomy, and so forth , . . that second year might have been hell except for Suzie . the same for the third! You see, he met this DH in his sophomore year. She was short, cute and popular . . . everyone wanted a date with her (even some instructors) . . but Dave won out and her name is now Skersick! Dave is not one to let extracurricular activities interfere with dentistry ... he is always the first to ask an instructor for constructive criticism, and he takes it to heart! He does Dr. Fred Harper ' s lab work ... so he must be good! Excellent technique and superior didactic grades have put him near the top of our class. He never seems to have much time to spend w ith the rest of the pang, but what time he does spend makes up for the difference! He, his wife and the Thompson ' s often go to the 301 Club in Orange County ... for that good Mexican food they enjoy so much! Dave plans to join the Air Force after graduation . . . then private practice. Do I polish before or after casting it? Oh, Dave- you shouldn ' t have . . 148
