' I like it. He ' s such a nice boy! French Hospital Los Angeles, Far East Cafe. U.S.C. B.S. Biology. uJhj JL i€iy OtT jLUU J If I were to describe Bennett as I remember how he first impressed me, my description would include such adjectives as shy, quiet, and studious. After sitting 6 feet away from him in our little C-9— C-10 MDL corner of the world for 2 years, however. I gradually come to realize how usefully inadequate my initial impression of this seemingly serious young man was. I was pleasantly surprised to find that he possessed a refreshing sense of humor and was not averse to goofing around or pulling a few pranks. It quickly became abvious too, that he was one of the most competent students in our lab, being able to carve, wax, cut preps, pack amalgams, seat gold crowns or do whatever steps a project called for faster and better than anyone else. If ever I needed to know what 3 carvings or a 4.0 prep looked like I merely had to move 6 feet to my left and take a look at Bennett ' s work. Having such a talented hand god for a lab partner could have proven somewhat discouraging to this mere mortal had it not been for Bennett ' s open, easy-going willingness to share his knowledge, talent, and time. Thanks to his smiling acquiscence to all my requests for advice or help, my own knowledge and lab skills increased thus making the accomplishment of all the freshman-sophomore projects within the realm of comfortable possibility. If I survived those first 2 years of dental school as a relatively happy well-balanced human being. I owe much of it to the fact that fate some how blessed me with a friend in the person of Bennett Jeong. Thank you Bennett. I wish you well always. Confuclous say; Lay low, avoid the limelight, do only what is necessary. fflU ■ :S«»i« ' - Yep, it ' s a 9-0 day.

There ' s two things I ' ll never forget about dental school: The day we get out and my Gumba Jim Dacey. I have to give Jim many thanks for the experiences and memories of dental school. I learned early that life insurance was a necessity with Jim being my lab partner. Especially the day in freshman perio when he cut off every papilla in my mouth znd the day we gave each other our first injection. He told me it wasn ' t necessary for me to open my mouth. It was some new technique he had read about. But I can ' t think of one person Jim couldn ' t get along with-ex cept that cop that one night who threw him in jail just because Jim couldn ' t recite his ABC ' s. Jim couldn ' t convince the cop that after G came TUVWXYZLR. Jim was also the kingpin of one-liners. He constantly supplied the guys in the Delt house with those little musketeers from Disneyland because of this quality. To watch Jim at his job at Disneyland is like watching Rex do a full crown foil. Two dollies once asked Jim what was the best ride in the park and Jim fold them his car at 5;00p.m. He was also an excellent investor-and I don ' t mean shiny-brite. Like the year he bought 18 Rose Bowl coupons to help pay for his mobile cabinet and Stanford went to the Rose Bowl. But now Jim is making plans for his new office on f ain St. in Disneyland. I know I ' m going to miss that Pillsbury Dough Boy smile of his, so what else can I say but Salute Gumbal

' Don ' t bug me O ' brien. U.C. Berkeley A.B. English, U.C. Berkely Secondary Teaching Credential. ,:± t ' Estee Lauder gets me better grades. ' - rJI • A few close friends knew her as Annie, some called her Sunshine, Chris Kamen thought she was Anne Jaworski, others knew her simply as Anne. But, the name she liked best was Anne Jegurgowitz! Anne Jurewitz— the one with the big eyes and huge smile, a smile so big that it required the largest impression trays available. Anne was not the type that liked to rush into things. She was most famous for advocating the four day work week. She frequently spent extended weekends at t lammoth and at her private beach in Laguna. Once she disappeared for so long that it was rumored that she was having an affair with Vince Katow. Her time in school, however, was well spent. She stayed late in lab so often that she eventually met all the janitors and security guards. But it was worth it since she saved a lot of money on towels and toilet paper. Anne was also famous for her thoroughness. She studied for exams up to the last minute— but it got her A ' s. She worked on her clinical projects up to the last second— but she always passed. It was amazing how she was able to work through all the chair basketball games, optoball games, cotton roll wars, and exploding plaster bombs. Perhaps Anne ' s greatest accomplishment was getting through dental school inspite of the few instructors and many patients that were biased against women dentists. In the years to come Anne will prove that women can be just as good and in many cases better than their male counterparts in the dental profession. I might consider it.
