' Open wider, I ' ll dive in. A.A. Glendale College, U.C. Irvine, Junior Class President. jaMi EiL . k ;iiW- i[iljmE. J Bij Dddi E 5 S fa. ' y ' 2 Dad would be proud of these dentures. Chet Yokoyama 320 To borrow one of Chefs new phrases (he always has a new saying), he could be best described as a multi-faceted marble. (That ' s okay, I don ' t quite understand it either.) To say that he has diverse interests would be an understatement. Somehow, our potential rock star motorcycle racer, jet pilot, champion surfer, poet laureate, artist, and philosopher managed to find time for dental school. (And he did it very well.) Chet managed to add hand god to his list of achievements on the first day of tooth carving by carving a perfect central. How demoralizing! Well, Chet would probably quote Bob Dylan and call it a simple twist of fate. Chet proved to be a man of action, too. While most of us complained he decided to do something. So, C.Y. became our class president. He managed to stir things up a little (a lot?) and got some changes started, ords are simply not adequate to describe Chet. What do vou say about a person who can create poetry from key phrases of a very boring late afternoon occlusion lecture? Who else could find deep philosophy in the principles of retention? And, who else could turn impression making into a sensual experience? Those of us in E lab will long remember C.Y. jetting in late at night to complete a project. Occasionally we were blessed with his version of Chuck Berry s Blue Suede Shoes not to mention Hustle practice sessions with Bruce ' and Gene. Whatever it was, it was always a treat. Chet was quite an attraction to our lab, it seems. But, he was seldom at his lab desk. So guess who became his personal secretary? At 9:00, every Monday morning, after partials lecture. Dr. Yokoyama would come ' n»° ' fb ° ee Chet. But Chet didn ' t usually roll in until 9:10. What do you say then to the doctor? All in all, Chet is a sensitive person, warm and generous. Another favorite old quote of his is from the song Changes by David Bowie. ... time may change me, but I can ' t change time. Well, maybe you cant change time but here ' s hoping time doesn ' t change you too much, Chet because we love you the way you are! f Thamlli — Chet modeling his latest shirt. f n ■Is i, -4 hfi ' y h ' ' ' ' You ' re right, I do look better with my glasses off. .s«-.«i ■

Wait till she gets the bill. Carolann at a very tender age. p tl San Diego State University. After only a semester ot school, Carolann ' s technical ability and academic achievements put her on every list in school including the most eligible female list. She was a model student. Hardworking self-demanding and quiet. She was always early. She set-up a week in advance for our first lesson on currette sharpening . . . and began making a new bard parker blade sharper. She read every reading assignment given. I believe she is the only one who read the complete student handbook and constitution. When anyone needed notes for a class she was the one to go to. She took notes like she was eating cookies. She was also more organized than Robert ' s rules of order. Honestly. She always had backups (fortunately for me). And she was the only one who knew when somethi ng was due. I would like to thank her for all the times she reminded me of deadlines and dates. Without her quiet reminders I may not have stayed in this orbit. Probably what Carol can best be noted for is her role as academic track star. The O.J? of the test circuit. She was always the first person done with the tests. And of course, on the Dean ' s list. Carolann, nothing razzel dazzell just straight forward hardwork and excellence with a gentle touch. So, here ' s a tribute to a truly beautiful person, someone I sense more than verbally communication. She is like the sound of a single lovely cloud moving across the sky. ' What do you mean I ' m trying to look se The palm-thumb grasp is O.K. but I ' ve got to improve this kids ' aim.
