y We couldn ' t resist printing this one, Ted! THEODORE BENADERET, D.D.S. LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA Long Beach City College California State at Long Beach Wonder when they ' re going ' i start putting chloroform n the issue? % m I know it was you . . . even though both hands are on the table! if I can just get this miniature time bomb planted in his tooth before the THRUSH agent sees me . . . Theodore was born in Long Beach, raised in Long Beach, attended Long Beach City College and California State College at Long Beach . . . prior to attending USC. He has commuted to school every day from Long Beach for four years. When he graduates, Ted plans to practice in Long Beach — then retire in Long Beach. This guy is anything but a hang loose or casual fellow. LHis high-strung nature makes Ted an unrelenting perfectionist. He is noted for his lack of hair. He came to us with very little and showed us the reason why. Whenever something was difficult or annoying to him, he pulls out his non-existent hair! Seriously, he is an excellent dentist. He was recognized for his diligence and good dental work by being provided a private work area and little to no-check privileges . . . seven months before graduation (under the program for excellence in dentistry). 73

ARNOLD BECKER, D.D.S. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA University of California at Los Angeles University of California at Berkeley Alpha Omega The only senior who finished his Class II foil clinics with the help of Benaderet! Arnie never gave up trying. The Dental Assisting Program was a boom to him . . . Virginia, his assistant, kept him on his toes and on his back! Arnie is well-versed in the literature and the arts. His choice of words and articulate of speech reveals a student educated in the finer things of life. Caught into the spirit of discussion, Arnie can and will give you a debate, argument, or what-have-you, like you ' ve never had before! Generally mild-mannered, Arnie has no definite plans for the future ... except to continue enjoying life. After all, we are brothers! ... I know throwing it on the floor won ' t fix it (I ' ve already tried that) Please look the other way when you say Stainless Steel!

It ' s three o ' clock in the morning STUART BERNTHOL, D.D.S. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA Santa Monica City College University of California at Los Angeles Alpha Omega Stu was born here and will practice here in Los Angeles. We will never forget him and his wonderful inventions and his knack for organization ... his constant-heat-spatula was a good invention — until he reached for it and burned his pinkies. Oh, yes, remember the lamp hung off the fluorescent light giving enuf light to illuminate his entire working area . . . worked great until the heat from the bunsen burner caused the bulb to explode. Oa another occasion he decided to cover the desk with his lab coat to give an esthetic, pleasing appearance — forgeting to turn off that damn burner! Then he came to the clinic and really got organized. Writing himself notes, rehearsing his plan of attack in the early hours ... we were told that he rehearsed his assistants when in oral surgary on just how he wanted them to aspirate to red stuff— all this at 7:30 a.m. We ' re ribbing him a little and are well aware that he is taking dentistry seriously and is sincere about his education . . . and as a result will be a credit to the profession — if he will only leave the inventing to Rube, the inventor. If you say anything about my sissy T-shirt, I ' ll hit you again! Oh well, I can always play pmg pong!
