X See Donna, the buccal cusp is gone. You shouldn ' t start an ideal prep that way. m DONNA BIGHEART, D.D.S. PAVVHUSKA, OKLAHOMA Los Angeles City College University of California at Berkeley Upsilon Alpha If I polish this cup, I bet my pencil sales will double! How come his notebook ' s so thin and he gets better grades than me? Donna came to dental school thinking it would be easv She soon found out that dental school is different from undergrad school. During a freshman set-up test Donna ' s hair caught on fire. During an operative lab she overextended a preparation when her hair got in the engine belt (it ' s pretty hard to keep your eyes on a margin with your head moving along with the belt of a handpiece). Aside from these setbacks, Donna has been one of the boys. She has played an important role in our class in keeping the instructors clean, although her ears have been red on numerous occasions! Donna served as secretary-treasurer for our class during the sophomore year. She is a member of Upsilon Alpha, a sorority for female dentists. Best wishes to you. Donna, in your future! 75

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!

We put our heads together and we have as much hair as this kid! O. BRENT BLACK, B.A., D.D.S. MURRAY, UTAH Brigham Young University University of Utah O. Brent Black (well, it ' s better than Boren Orent Black) was born in the bustling metropolis of Murray, Utah. He attended BYU for one year, then spent the next three years seriously preparing for dental school at the University of Utah by majoring in French. After receiving his B.A. and acceptance to dental school (there was a mission to France and Belgium for his church somewhere in here) he came to USC and really saw sin in action. Brent always attempted to make dental school easier for all of us . . . such as his suggestion for developing crown and bridge cement which wouldn ' t show a cement margin! Although Brent ' s hair is thinning, he doesn ' t mind . . . so who wants fat hair? ' He has maintained his home town quaintness by being an active member of his church. He conducts himself with a high degree of professionalism and is well-liked by his fellows. Oh yes, he is a talented artist! Would you like to hear more about the Mormon Church ' Brent baby . . . that ' s the wrong hole! 76
