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

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

. . . gee, 1 don ' t know Carol — you know how close my wife keeps tabs on me . . . The only inconspicuous way to suck my thumb! the mad itch! RONALD THOMPSON, A.B., D.D.S. FULLERTON, CALIFORNIA University of Southern California Delta Sigma Delta Alpha Tau Epsilon The Navy seems almost to be a prerequisite at SC. For Ron spent twelve years as an officer in the United States Navy prior to gaining admission to dental school. He was fortunate to be stationed in Europe as a high level courier, and managed to spend many hours in all the exotic capitols of the Old World. He and Nancy, his wife, picked up most of the furniture for their luxurious hill-top house while in Europe and had it shipped back by Uncle Sam. The sophomore year we remember Ron as quietly sitting at his desk and producing some of the best technique work ever seen at old S and T. During this period in Ron ' s life, he worked as an assistant to an oral surgeon in Fullerton . . .an extra advantage in his block assignments in oral surgery. Ron was elected senior class president, and spent his extra time during the senior year doing lab work for last year ' s senior class president, Ray Werts. There is little doubt that Ron ' s sincere, warm manner will aid him in building a fine practice in Orange County. 151
