. dttm fe .«AA B.A., C.S.U.L.A. If this tooth ' s vital, the partial ' s goin ' in! I can ' t believe this place Bill came to USC after 11 years of teaching high school mathematics. Being bright. Bill quickly realized dental school involved more stress than teaching. Being a mathematician, he rapidly found the formula for success in a new environment. Bill was always good with his hands-with a 6V2-2i 2-9 or an end-wrench alike. He eased himself through preclinical and clinical endeavors and with his hobby of auto mechanics, was always available to ease a friend back on the road again - some notables: l ac Templeton. Mike Bryman. Virg Falldorf. etc.. etc. yours truly, etc. Bill took a lot of kidding from some of his classmates. We called him the old man and I kidded him about stress greying his other wise rusty-hued beard. However, the nickname (Levin) Blades Houston was earned by being the first of his class through removable (it was not a slur on his volatile Irish ancestry). Bill leaves SC with the intention of practicing in the San Gabriel Valley area. Judging from the past four years there is every indication that he will prosper. 127

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. '

' What, I got into oral surgery! ' Marshall was the true model of chivalry until he discovered the true meaning of 40-love late one night on a Manhattan Beach tennis court. Possibly this is why people around school would remark, Marshall used to be such a gentle man before he moved to Manhattan . A person hasn ' t lived until his experienced a supersonic 200mph trip to Mammoth in the Humesmobile unless its watching Marshall single handedly clear a crowded dancefloor in a matter of seconds. Marshall currently holds the Red Onion disco dance floor knockout record for a single song during the spinning of Brick House in which 13 were injured and 2 will never be fertile again. In addition to a dental office, Marshall is still carrying out plans for his body building gym in which he will persist in his plan to win the Arnold Swartzeneger look alike contest. But for now he ' ll have to be content with bodyguard for the Manhattan Beach Ben-Was. Marshall tried to make his way into the Dental School Hall of Fame by impressing Rex Ingraham with his imitation of a wounded seal. On the serious side, Marshall learned his pedagogics well, looked up Marsh Robinson in his sophomore year, and will make oral surgery his final endeavor. Good Luck, Marsh . The essence of life.
