' I ' m sorry about your crown, I ' ll see if I can get it off the celling for you. ' U.S.C. B.S. Biology . . . want to buy an articulator, cheap? ?! ?. These Denars are easy to adjust Dan Crowley owns Tommy Trojan! Dan ' s USC heritage goes back so far that his family even possesses one of th e universities finest assets - a baseball team. Dan was raised in Los Angeles, weaned at the Coliseum, and educated (received his diploma) at Loyola High. In being such a community notable he entered USC as fledgling predent. Some of his more earth-moving achievements were: tops in invertebrate biology (do earthworms have teeth?); tops in histology (that can ' t be an earthworm?) and tops in histo-technique (Ouch!). Dan entered dental school. The quiet man of 8 Lab was hardly noticed until grades came out - or until an instructor sta rted comparing student ' s work. Again Dan was tops He always helped others; loaned out tons of notes and did a job that would make even Tommy blush. Dan with his quiet humility and truly professional demeanor will be remembered. Best of luck Dan in all your future endeavors. 103

' My wife likes the ' shaggy ' look. ' still love the way you come up behind me. ' Greg (what committee is he on now?) Cole was by no means a stranger on the U.S.C. Campus. Born and raised in El Segundo, he graduated from the main campus in 1973 with a major in Biology (and a minor in campus politics). After four years, Greg knew where enough bodies were buried to gain admission to the dental school. Greg ' s pre-clinical career was characterized by diligence and perserverence. Not that there was never a discouraging word from B-1, but any set back was only temporary. Long hours and hard work finally paid off and he was turned loose downstairs. Greg achieved instant rapport with patients by reciting the Dental Practice Act while working. He wasn ' t trying to bore them, he just liked all that legal jargon. It seemed like Greg spent more time at committee meetings than in the clinic. That never seemed to affect the quality (or quantity) of his wo rk. As of the writing, Greg is unsure of his future plans. Whether he stays in California or heads for Washington, D.C. (behind closed door politics?) Greg will be a real asset to his profession. U.S.C. B.S., University of Oklahoma, President ' s Advisory Council. Committees on Management, Promotions and Student Rights, Psi Omega Fraternity. No, I wasn ' t born in Plains and no, I don ' t drink beer! 102 Greg doing his lab work.

y The prep ' s fine, but your bur block is incorrectly arranged I U.S.C, Alpha Tav Epsilon, Freshman Class President. ' W ' Family dentistry. No, we already have some, thank you. i?S K55» BK af ' - ' ir m Cs. ' -W . : fc L ,l - ' Mk v ' H B ' ' Having mastered the basics by the end of the first month, Darrel turned his attention to politics. As Craig Schlie observed at the time, he was the one who was always trying to sell us things while running for class office. Suckers that we were, we bought the lamps and elected him Freshman Class President. Wisely, he retired from office about the same time the lamps began to snap in half. Mine gave up the ghost in the middle of an operative final. It was a real tragedy because I was using the 1000 watt globe to anneal my gold foil. Looking back I remember that Darrel was a good student . . . well sort of. And he had terrific hands . Plus he was a great humanitarian. He saved dozens of us from the brink with his famous emergency wax luting technique . If Al Solnit had only known, 3 4 of us wouldn ' t be here. He kept busy holding down a lab job , skiing, staffing the mobile clinic, partying with George, Rock, Jamie, Furgie or just about anybody who had some stuff . On top of It all he found time to romance then marry Kathy. He advanced on into the clinic where he left most of us far behind. He does outstanding work, he Is competent and responsible and is always ready to help ... he would never make it as a faculty member . . . what bigger compliment can I pay him?
