Just a little more off this contact. Wouldn ' t you like a piece of this action. B.S. University of San Francisco, Student Advisory Committee, Student Body Treasurer, Scfiool New spaper Editor, Psi Omega Fraternity, L.A.D.S. 4 2 d. . . 3 i - ' 9 9? . ' . . . yarJ7- f A 7.o- ' x x : ,a ?7-o When Carol arrived in el lay, USC didn ' t know quite how to receive her. During the first weeks in school, practically the whole upper classmen student body had cruised by to check out Gomez and tried giving her help and advice. But, somehow, she managed to keep their hands off her work (and her body), and proved to a hot operator. With all these men in school, we had a pretty good time! (Thanks to all you guys who turned out to be pretty good friends, and phoo-wee to those that made our lives miserable.) Carol is also a very thoughtful, and wise lady. During that hectic sophomore year, she knew when it was time for a break. I ' m going crazy! Hey, George, Howard, Tina, let ' s go to Cholo ' s for a margarita! Well, thanks Carol, I really needed those drinks! Carol is an extraordinary woman. She was always organized, and always working hard to meet all those deadlines. She also found time to play an active role in student body government, mobile clinics, and be the editor of the Tongue Thrust. In between all that, she was flying off to San Francisco, Hawaii, and keeping her men happy (you know, cooking and stuff like that). You could count on Carol on having fun too. She was always ready to have a good time, dancing, and partying . . . and mostly eating (Boy! Did we make out with alot of freebie dinners! Carol was always watching out for us.) Carol! How did you manage to fly through clinic and run around in those high heel shoes of yours? That always amazed me. Carol ' s plans include the U.S. Navy for about four years, and a practice in San Diego, and of course, her man Mark. Good luck Carol. I ' m sure you will be successful, and always enjoy the best that life has to offer! (I ' m really sure) Thank you so much for your help, a dear friendship, and lots of good memories. Sincerly, your lab partner, Tina. What do you mean you want to grease my articulator.

He not only has ten toils, tie wants to pay for them! Cerritos College, U.S.C. B.S. Biology Sties a dog, but she ' s terrific ' Just what I need, more wine! GUMBARE - friend, companion, buddy, confidant. What better word to describe a dental student who would red shirt himself just to stay with his lab partner. Between us we could make a fortune selling honor roll projects that had been displayed as far away as Downey and Anaheim. Ross ' God-like hands were inherited from Papa Joe and his academic acumen was developed from sibling rivalry with Brother Leon. His clinical swiftness stemmed from an inborn love of speed, such as fast boats, cars and women (one did the 100 in 9.5 sec). His love of excitement was exemplified by his flirting with disaster while water skiing parallel to the surface, making 90° turns in his BMW at 60 MPH, finishing gold margins with Joe Dandys and explaining to CHIPS what their responsibilites are to the drivers of California. Gumba was considered one of the missing (on the) link of our class, but during the absences this C-lab hot dogger did a good job of eliminating his handicap. The young Godfather was an all around hit man - in baseball, basketball, tennis, fishing and hunting. Referred to as the Italian Stallion, Rosario was considered a real lady killer; most likely due to his ability as a dog trainer. Nutritional balance has been a major factor contributing to his success, some examples include donuts by the dozen, pasta, plenty of liquids at TG ' s, 901, Numero Uno or Busch Gardens and tuna for lunch. ' It ' s not a foil, huh? Ross ' quiet manner, empathetic compassion and helpful insight were qualities he shared willingly with all class members. His sincere generosity, dedication toward excellence and professionalism will aid him through a successful future. Ross will be associating with his father and brother in a dental Organization that will offer tooth ' tection.

Howard and Rachel. ierce College, B.A. California State University Northrldge. »H lX [JO u VA. Take it quick. I m getting sick. 38, 22 .. . no, it was more like 36. 26 . . no it was Of course that ' s how I keep my suit arm. Who could imagine that beneath the calm, handsome exterior stalked a genuine San Fernando Valley lowrider? Anyone who has seen Howard in action at the football games, the 901. or La Barbera ' s would know the truth. Howard was very resourceful Pre-clinical instructors were scarce when sitting in the same foursome with Carol and Tina, so Howard simply pinned up a picture of Rachel in a bikini to his cubical. Not only did he have plenty of instructors from then on, but also they were cleverly distracted from actually looking at his work Howard was one of the B lab night people There never seemed to be enough time during the day to goof off AND do lab work Of course one of the top priorities was a frequent trip to El Cholos with Carol, Tina, and George. We ' ll never forget the time during Solnit ' s wax-up class when Howard left his articulator at home and had to borrow one from Dr. Walker While graciously thanking him, Hands dropped the articulator on the floor When Walker strolled through the lab later that day Howard had the articulator in 50 pieces trying to adjust the incisal guide. Howard talked his way out of it though: I don ' t mean to criticize your articulator, but ' Howard ' s real introduction to dental school came during final exams the first trimester The fun began when he couldn ' t remember what an upper first molar looked like during the tooth carving final Afterwards he went to Tommy ' s to smother his sorrows with a chili dog and ended up with a jaywalking ticket He then pulled an all-nighter right there in lab B for GenI Histo and fell asleep one hour before the 8:00 AM final - never getting to the ear and eye lectures. Howard was probably the friendliest, most easy-going member of the class of ' 78 Upon graduation he plans to associate with Uncle Gottlieb in the Valley and from there on to fame and fortune Best of luck to a great friend
