Now that we ' ve both explained it, is It clear? KENNETH R. WEITZMAN, D.D.S. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA Santa Monica City College University of California at Los Angeles University of Southern California Alpha Omega You could tell me what you didn ' t like Denney without bringing out your entire list of insults . . . Is it 11 or 13 mm from the tragus (or anti-tragus) , . . maybe my patient knows; I ' ll ask him! Ken, also known vicariously as the flying madman . . . dental school ' s answer to the Hell ' s Angels — the brilliant, eloquent defender of the dental student ' s rights. Ken manages to coufDie uncontrollable exuberance, gross rationalizations, and blind tenacity to come up with a kind of unshakable force. His most brilliant hour on the stage was when he went to Dr. Ho, fire in eye, boley gauge in one hand, PJC prep in the other — demanding to have his check card signed . . . adamantly displaying irrefutable mathematical proof thctt he did not overcut his prep! To wit Dr. Ho replied: Well, you can ' t argue with perfection . . . Our clinic day would not have been complete without hearing Ken tell some ten-year-old patient to interdigitate in centric occlusion then protrude into quartering as you disarticulate your condyles from the most retruded position in your glenoid fossae . . . He shows up at the clinic in the morning replete with motorcycle, helmet, gogles and scab box, steps into his locker, closes the door and utters a few magic words, and emerges spotlessly attired for his first clinic patient. Good luck. Ken. 155

LARRY WEBBER, A.A., B.A., D.D.S. LA CRESCENTA, CALIFORNIA Glendale College Lo5 Angeles State College Delta Sigma Delta Web may be found almost any time of day standing in front of his locker staring into its empty confines. He seems to be always looking for something that is never there. In the morning he may say hello or he may not. When not, its because he is preoccupied, not because he doesn ' t see you. At other times of the day you will find him on the clinic floor hard at work which he does with meticulous care, if not speed. Hard work comes naturally to Larry ... he helped his mother raise his sister and brother after his father died and he now has a little boy and girl of his own to care for. Larry and his wife, LaRue, manage to attend most of the social functions throughout the year and he is an active member of the Delts. His night time hours over the past four years have been spent with wax, flame and spatula. His weekends, when not the same, may be spent at the beach or skiing. A TGIF never passes without Larry ' s attendance. Larry is well-liked by the memebrs of his class and we all wish him well in the years to come. II must have gone ovei there after it hooked the wheel . . . . . . yeah, right . through the apex and out the mandible! , but the zipper won ' t go any higher! 154

Yes, it ' s a cloth towel ... so what? RONALD WHEATLEY, D.D.S. ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA University of Southern California Delta Sigma Delta Ron is not what you woijld call an obstreperous person, nor is he pertinacious or loquacious . . . we have been aware of his presence primarily due to his recalcitrant nature when face to face with authority. There was the time he flipped his Class V foil out at the S T building; he put it back in, burnished the margins and asked Dr. Stark to help him with it . . . well, after it was lost due to an extra graceful trajectory there were ample aoologies to soothe his hyperemic eyes and pulsating cardiac organ. Ignominiously, he repeated a course in endodontics because he could not resist the urge to go to the dental convention in San Francisco during midterm examinations. He talked the dean out of all but endo . . . but this was not without its rewards; it allowed him to get in well with Dud and the boys. Ron certainly cannot be called a pusilaninious person — he has his wings and spends many hours flying over beautiful Southern California. He plans a stint in the USAF then travel before deciding where to practice . . . wherever you go, Ron, we know you will do it in a voluptious manner! 1, 2, 3, wide awake feeling good .
