This place !? V.S.C. B.S. Dental Hygiene, M.S. Ed., Delta Signna Delta Fraternity. ' r Jt- ■ ' a rr Mr. and Dr. Hoffman. Betty ' s daughter? Betty, otherwise known as Betty Boop or Hack was already a pro when she entered dental school having already completed a R.N., a R.D.H. and an education degree. What she did not realize was that was an education while dental school can only be called an experience. Where else would a dental hygiene instructor have to complete Perio Special patients. And Betty being Betty, even these she worried about. Betty ' s seriousness almost led to a CVA when Ingy and DEJ brought out the Frisbee. Even though she did suffer minor concussions from oft target tosses the margins on her honor roll turned out Clickless . De ntal school was really Betty ' s second full time job. She also was general manager, head of maintenance and supervisor for a Hollydale firm consisting of house, husband, daughter, dog and cat. Her husband must have been really understanding and developed quite a taste for T.V. dinners. Maybe that is why he bought her a Microwave. But in all honesty it was good to have Betty ' s maternal presence in the class to keep all us kids in line. Now all that is left is to wish you luck in medical school as I guess that ' s the only degree needed to round out your already impressive list of credentials. m ■■■■1 i §L. i 9 1 hm m 4 { ■1 ri l H H

M.D.S.A., L.A.D.S., Predental Corps, Mobile Clinic, N.C.H.O., Class treasurer. ' If you open nice I ' ll loosen the ' On the bite block, not my finger, please. ' You want to wear this home? What could anyone write about Lois except nice things? A beautiful person with a beautiful smile— a smile that ' s always there. Ready to listen and willing to help anybody and everybody. Who else could have put up with me as a lab partner? Along with being so nice, there are a few other things Lois is very good at. Giving effective injections is at the top of Lois ' s list. She can give an infraorbital block and a mandibular block at the same time and put your eyelashes to sleep along with the whole rest of that side of your head. I speak with five hours of experience. A couple of other things Lois is really good at is taking her time and getting herself involved with too many things at one time. Is that the Lois we all know? Lois will make a great dentist with her kind spirit and giving heart. All her patients will love her as do all the kids on Mobile Clinic that she gives so much of her time too. Best of luck, Lois— we love you. Just two final questions: 1) How do you spell Hernandez? 2) How did your brother the Jr. High School principal get so rich?

C.S.U.L.B., B.S. Zoology and Biochemistry, Hobie Cat Sailing Club. ctrT:.. j i ttc J-Kt Jcc Steve started dental school with annbitions of specializing, or maybe even becoming an M.D. But those crazy thoughts flew out the vs indow the weekend of our Sophomore year that we studied for all the finals in the world. (Neuroanatomy, Histology . . . ) The most intense time of our academic lives was the Sunday we had every 1 2 hour planned out as to exactly what we were going to study. Steve ' s tremendous persistance is the only reason I could ever study that much at one time, and even Steve went a little wacko from that day. Steve always impressed me with his knowledge of biochem physiology. In fact, I owe my passing grades in those classes and some others to Steve. He was the best teacher I had in dental school (well, Delaney is damn good too). Steve has more than his share of patience which enables him to persue academic challenges — he will be an outstanding diagnostician. Personally I don ' t think he will fulfill his potential until he becomes an M.C. Everybody entering dental school is naive. The last four years have been fun watching some of Steve ' s naivities mature on such matters as women, school administrators, women, religion, women . . . Most of this he kept to himself but once in a while he would write a letter to an editor when the crap of dental school overflowed the pot. I must list Steve ' s most outstanding characteristic as being the cheapest guy I have ever known. Can you imagine walking to school at night (and in that neighborhood) to use a school phone for patient appointments rather than pay a few message units for use of my phone? So I learned to be a little thrifty. All in all we went through a lot together and have developed a very valuable friendship. ' Me and my house. ' 126 ' Me and my horse. '
