1 You did say you were going into Perlo. didn ' t you. ' University of Maryland, B.S. Zoology On So vOe.xA; Wofi oA , Wanna go back in the stacks? I ' m Gay Gwill from Brooklyn, New Yawk . . . The stage is set, here comes the would be medical student who settled with the idea of being a dentist. Not knowing much about the field he decided to come to the school in California because he wanted to be in the sun. Well, ' he never saw the sun the first year e.xcept to run during his lunch breaks. He also began to refine and increase his vocabulary of blasphemous terms during operative clinics. We could always hear Gary ' s four letter screams from A to B labs with that distinct Brooklyn accent. Where 95% of the class would have quit after a third of Gary ' s problems, old Gair plugged on through insurmountable mishaps from operative to back injuries, Gary never had a problem with didactic work. He could get an A on any exam anytime. When Gary entered clinic he showed he was capable of doing excellent restorative dentistry. It was just his sporadic bad luck which seemed to get in the way. Aside from clinic, Gary also managed to become an accomplished wine connoiseur and the Venice terror of the paddle tennis court. It has been a long hard road for Gary in all respects. Fortunately, he has that uncanny ability to bounce back and do extremely well. In fact he will probably join the ranks of the advanced periodentist at USC. Gary is tough, honest, and a sincere person. You ' re ok Gary. By the way, where IS my half hollenback? I had ten fingers when I started in this business . , .

' Go ahead, wet your pants, I ' ll still be five minutes more. l George (A.K.A. the Green Machine) will be remembered by everyone ' for his perennial smile. When I think of George, I think of a guy with a brightly colored Hawaiian shirt with his whole-earth sandwiches announcing Who ' s up for creams (ice cream)? George is just your basic nice guy who ' s never too busy to lend a helping hand to anyone. I know, he ' s gotten me out of plenty of jams. I ' ll never forget when I met George ' s pride and joy— Wilhelm, or just Willy to an intimate circle of friends. I drove up to what I thought was George ' s house, and got out of my car, only to feel the ground vibrating. Then I realized there was a dog leaping at the front door and barking wildly. With great courage. I walked behind my wife toward the house, I knocked on the door. The door opened with George ' s veins nearly bursting while restraining a huge doberman pincher lunging at me. on two legs. I was unable to speak or run for my life. George said with sincerity . . . Willy likes you! It ' s amazing how some of us slaved away at night, wishing we were elsewhere. (Especially we of lab B.) George on the other hand managed to get away for plenty of surfing, got to Hawaii, become certified for scuba diving, got to Hawaii (yeah, again!), fly over L.A., sail, water ski, snow ski, . . . the list goes on and on. He says that when he gets out of here he ' s gonna really enjoy himself. Dental school does strange things to many people. For instance, George ' s affinity for the Oriental Philosophy. How much Chinese food can you eat? Also the ElCholo for lunch bunch, where George, Tina, Carole, and I became regulars. Not to mention numerous sojourns at Numero uno and the 901. We weren ' t alcoholics, we just prefer to drink over lecture. George has hopes of practicing in Hawaii; he says that it is the only place for him to live. I wish him the best, even though we ' ll all miss him in Southern California.
