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?

' 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

oyd smiling through another mechanical exposure. Special Clinic Set Up. Dr.Beyd H. Dansi Riverlon, Utah B.Y.U., B.S. Microbiology, Chemistry aJUaaL QuAiu AO 4dc« m , r re ' s Boyd? Isn ' t H.B. here today? Where the hell is your jartner? These were just a few of the comments I heard jghout my pre-clinical days. Even though Harold was a nan, I looked up to him. He spent the least amount of in the lab during those years as I knew anyone but ys seemed to come out well ahead of everyone. t first day I met H.B. was in one of those very boring IV seminars. Boyd was well onto his way to the top in the truction business before he came to the dental school, goal and desire to make a lot of money, being his own and work short hours were immediately shattered when 300D doctor told Boyd everything he didn ' t want to hear, t ' s when he really got crazy. He tried to convert everyone and everything into a morman. He even tried to reconvert l ike Furguson, of course, with no luck. Most of us know that ' s when H.B. and Steve Anderson got to be real close; how close some of us still wonder. Boyd let Steve move in as soon as he was baptized, this was to begin a very close friendship, Boyd enjoyed many activities, among his favorite were bike riding along the beach and hiking and camping. Just recently d has taken an interest in girls and has gotten married to eautiful D ' Anne. I know that the fine dilegent work Boyd put into his dental school career will be carried out into his professional career and he will be as fine a dentist as he is a person. Kathy and I jjjjj always remember you and will be looking forward to Ifig you after graduation. Ya, I ' m a stud when I wear a tie. ' Boyd, always willing to help
