I can put a rubber dam on in five minutes U.S.C. B.S. Biology. ... would you believe ten minutes? Half an hour? Could you come back tomorrow? f- iZ6 L iLi a In order for me to best describe my preclinical lab partner, Steve Wilbur, I think some passages from the NEWEST TESTAMENT would be of insurmountable value. Book of Genesis: And God said. Let there be light , and from the beginning appeared a homemade lamp of such intensity that when the sun was not to be seen, the lamp gave forth both warmth and brilliance. To the creator of such a device, it was decided that this mortal be henceforth recognized as Bunky. And from this day it was decided that Bunky was to be sheltered from the rays of the sun, to avoid such debilitating diseases as crows feet about the eyes and skin cancer. Book of Revelations: As time came to pass, Bunky became weary of his confinement within the walls of the gold crown palace. But his belief in the wisdom of God was so strong that he accepted his new life. As the days wore on, Bunkys countenance became more haggard — his face became pale and anemic, hair in disarray, and clothes all tattered. At times he had to resort to the pleasures of sedative herbs, and he became the dealer for others in need. However, his indulgence in such a comforting life led to instances of fatigue and fainting spells. Book of Exodus: Alas it was decided that Bunky leave the dwelling he knew so well and forage into the world in search of fortune ($1 million). It was at this critical moment that he uttered the famous words, It ' s time to blow the Joint! while everyone listened in disbelief. In all seriousness, though, the best of luck to an easy going guy and congratulations on your marriage. 190 Duralon works just as good as P. I. P., doesn ' t it. Dial-a-Prayer is in my book here somewhere.

Bill, and then the fellow that was directly behind him and thought I was experiencing diplopia. Futher allegation of sesory deception came shortly after when I kept hearing guttural sounds back and forth between these two like an aboriginal tribesman might utter upon finding the bone through his nose had termites. What was stranger still was that they seemed to know what each other meant and thought nothing of it. Alas— the explanation was at hand . . . A Xerox machine in Westwood had gone beserk, somehow engulfing and incorporating a tape recroding of warthogs in a potato patch. The product that descended upon us was the Lucky for me, though, that Bill was here otherwise I might have lost faith in this great institution. He was always there with a reassuring word. Like after a test that would pop Einstein ' s circuit breakers, I would ask Bill or his isomer what he thought of it. I always got the same reassuring answer: It was fine ... I thought it was a good test— why? Well, I was so reassured that no injustice had been perpetrated by this institution— who needed to ask why?! When Bill reached the clinic, he was faster than a speeding bullet with ten afterburners. He seemed to be in two places at once (could that be possible?) with patients stashed all over the school and quickly amassed points rivaling the odometer reading on the old junker he and his brother drive. When the dust had cleared— he was finished two semesters early. Now, Bill has gone into scuba diving and weightlifting. (If this had happened 200 million years ago, it would account for evolutions claim that sea creatures became terrestrial). Other physical activities such as jogging, tennis and racquet-ball accounts for his spare clinic time. If his dentistry is as good as his backhand— the future looks bright. Good luck Bill.

What do you mean she ' s your chick . . . ? A. A. Ventura Community College, B.A. Biology C.S.U. Northridge.

' Boy, does she ever have what it takes! Oxnard was appalled at the birth of Gene; as he emerged with a monkey grip, on his puplicating machine. He worked in the fields, sold newspapers and stole whatever he could. Everyone knew that he ' d grow up, to be, no damn good. In high school, he loved Biology, Woodshop and Crafts. Later, he joined the Air Force to avoid the Army drafts. He was sent down south and to Viet Nam. This persuaded him not to re-enlist and become Uncle Sam ' s Uncle Tom. He went to Ventura College preparing for a teaching career. Never did he imagine, that he ' d be handling dental gear. He received a Biology degree, from Northridge; while, also, selling shoes. At night he ' d dance, in contests, to earn more daily dues. He nearly applied for medicine, but detested being on call, knowing while being a dentist, he could stay home and have a ball. In dental school, he was good with his hands and, also, too damned conceited. He would put the make on all the girls and by his reputation, he was proceeded. Dean of Women he was called by Delaney and Mayor of the Dental School , he was called by Malamed. But little did they know, that his actions were planned, to keep some sanity in his head. His B.S. was so thick that instructors would turn and run. Yet. he produces color, noise, friendliness and fun. Everyone has his next of kins. Gene ' s were none other than the Weissman twins. His patients are ladies, only: and they are hand selected, this time his chairside manner is pretty well perfected. By He was usually well dressed and not such a jerk. Occasionally, he ' d settle down. and. actually, do some good dental work. If this biography appears to be strange; I may be the blame. Because, the first and third persons are one in the same. 191
