The only way to take a double clinic! WILLARD CLYDE CROSS, B.S., D.D.S. SAN FERNANDO, CALIFORNIA University of Southern California Psi Omega MMMMMM I er see I have to wear it ihis high — lis my Dad ' s! Clyde might aptly be termed the slowly-energetic member of our class. The first two years he seemed to be around and then again, not to be around. He was there but he wasn ' t. We do remember him doing an amazing amount of work during the sophomore year. He made a profound impression on Dr. Ho by preparing nineteen typodont PJC preparations on ivorine teeth ... a profound dent into his pocketbook at the same time . . . and a profound impression on his classmates who needed to do the same and found he had bought the bookstore out! Those who sat next to Clyde during lectures were quick to notice his predisposition toward eating. He eats constantly . . . those quick energy foods you ' see advertised in the leading magazines. Our senior year found Clyde in the medical center part of the time . . . five weeks out of action. He bounced back got married, and was hitting the ball the last time we saw him ... or did we? He plans to practice in San Diego (or Australia). He is considering graduate work in Endodontics. 83

CURTIS W. CROSS, D.D.S. BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA Bakersfield College Santa Monica City College Delta Sigma Delta Alpha Tau Epsilon Without a doubt, certain of our classmates have given our dental school days fleeting moments of spice and hilarity that are undisputably good for morale. Curt Cross has been one of the best, and we can all thank him for moments like the morning, one February, as the group gathered for the beginning of a periodontal seminar. Curt, with a serious and quizzical look on his face (same look he used on Colman), asked Dr. Galanter, well, are we going to treat this like a periodontist would or as a dentist would? Dr. Galanter ' s answer was smothered by the commotion of Curt ' s classmates writhing with laughter on the floor. Like all of us, he encountered a few obstacles in his four-year hurdle race to doctordom. Like the time he had to be hospitalized for eye-strain; etiology — way too much studying! The ENT man told him to ease off on the bookwork and Curt ' s been mowing Dr. John Soule ' s lawn ever since! In all seriousness, however. Curt must be commended for the sacrifice he gave as a student council member and general organizer. He resides in Whittier with Chris, his wife, who is attending Whittier College. He plans to associate in that area until she completes her work. Ooh, what a pretty toofie . . . Boy. 82

A drop a day keeps the patient away . . WARREN J. DEAN, B.A., D.D.S. SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA San Diego State College Alpha Omega The Bassett devotee, Warren has an irresistable fascination for Kerr ' s blue, and dead wax, and unclickable margins, which has led him to many more inlays than required of dental students. Throughout tiie four years in dental schoool, he has worked very carefully and meticulously. During his second year, he excelled in operative dentistry as well as the other technical disciplines in dentistry. At the beginning of the third year, Warren got married to Marilyn and thus ended his many weekend trips to San Diego. Warren has spent much of his free time dabbling in tropical fish, and doing the lab work he so dearly loves. He plans to live and work in San Diego . . . the so-called Zion of the West! Be patient Dallas — I ' ll autograph your models as soon as I ' m finished here ' See ... I told you that margin was open! 84
