Ookay, whooo put the alum in the fountain? . . what is it- V foil? M ROBERT F. SMITH, D.D.S. LA CANADA, CALIFORNIA University of California at Los Angeles Los Angeles City College Clendale City College Xi Psi Phi From a hot ' 57 Chevy to a crippled Alpha Romeo (because he ' s always got it apart) via his parents T-Bird, then his wife ' s T-Bird, Bob managed to motor to use to learn dentistry. When not piddling around with cars, looking at cars, selling cars, or buying cars, he likes to spend three-day weekends in Mammoth skiing, or afternoons at Brookside on the tennis courts. Prior to his entrance into the whimsical world of dental school, he spent several years being inculcated in the superior-attributes and traditions of the UCLA engineering program, where he distinguished himself in the pure basic research of the tvpical Uclan style. Bob puttered around with high-speed handpieces in the Human Factors Research laboratory for the Silver Fox, Dr. Rex Ingraham. Together they delved into the ethereal world of speed and pressure . . . Robert, a sea gull (but not a heart), married an all-time wife with a southern accent. Another of those less seen seniors who are quite unnoticed ... he has lived a no-sweat existence while with us. He hopes to dodge the draft and enter private practice. There was a margin here someplace . . . 149

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

DAVID C. SPRINGER, B.A., D.D.S. CHARLES CITY, IOWA State University of Iowa Xi Psi Phi Alpha Tau Epsilon David Charles Springer arrived in California fresh from the family farm in Charles City, Iowa. And, he frequently returns to that environment via a place in Long Beach called Jo Josts. He feels right at home with the atmosphere created by the people, bar tenders, and pool tables at Jo ' s. Believe it or not, he has a B.S. in psychology, he won the sophomore technique award, and won a scholarship his junior year. The first two years at USC for Dave were spent in the S and T building at the corner of Hoover and Exposition to the tune of rumbling trains and fog horn bellow of Murph, whom he dearly loved. The last two years he spent at the clinic located at the corner of Hoover and 34th Street, where he has shown remarkable technical skill . . . and good didactic grades. After hearing one lecture by Marsh Robinson he ran out and performed a vertical osteotomy on his wife, Dorothy. Most of Dave ' s weighty problems have been solved, while one hasn ' t! He will enter private practice in Los Alamitos in a beautiful, brand new building. w A wave of my hand and , To the rear march! The masked grandma strikes again! 150
