io do UiMh. QU-th(Xt SH-tAo) -UrwuTII th(lrnJs4y jOt UKAjut unQ mom and Dad, Can I do anything? Cheryl was always ready to help out. Whether it was with class notes that were always thorough and neat, even for histology or bringing her famous enchiladas to a pot luck. Whenever there was a dance or party, you could find Cheryl there, never wanting to miss out on anything. She always greets you with a friendly smile and an enthusiastic hello, even during finals when you can find little to smile about. Cheryl ' s patients thought she was something special. Her long, delicate fingers grasped the curette with such care while working that one of her patients decided to catch up on a little sleep and began snoring while she was working on him. Cutting, does your dad teach here? Dental students were forever asking Cheryl this question. Could this explain why she always disappeared during lunch time on Wednesdays? Even though Cheryl always had homework to do, she found time for outdoor recreation. When she wasn ' t hitting the books, she could be found hitting the volleyball on the beach in Palos Verdes or water skiing on Lake Havasu. Cheryl ' s warm and enthusiastic personality will be welcomed by any dental office. Thanks, Cheryl and Good-luck! Cheryl A. Cutting, RDH Palos Verdes Estates, California Joan F. Cwynar, RDH Hawthorne, California Joan is one of those mysterious girls who somehow manages to ace classes and still have time for partying, Thursday night dinners and hold onto a job. Although her smile attracts all the guys, she ' s a hard catch-she likes her independence. There is no question that Joan is also a class A hygienist who is very conscientious about her work. Unlike most of us, Joan is able to hold her composure and stay calm in the face of anxiety-building situations. How does she do it? JjuA

' wo jears A js er. Ttr jears older Demsc Meet Demise, alias DH 3. Behind that face is an individual capable of doing practically anything in school. She has demonstrated a remarkable talent for succeeding both scholastically and clinically without spending most of her waking hours studying. If that ' s not enough, she still has time to participate in such extracurricular activities as pizza lunch breaks with the gang at Numero Uno ' s, Thursday night dinners (and Margaritas) at El Cholo ' s tea cakes at Chinatown, T.G.I.F. ' s, and getting away on the weekend. If Denise wasn ' t so easy-going, hyper people (such as myself) would have succeeded in driving her up the wall! She was a good lab partner in Dental Materials and in Clinic. Most important. Denise has the patience of a saint; I don ' t know of anyone who would sit four hours getting Full Mouth X-rays, or watch herself being injected by a shaking needle, and worst of all, listen to all my dumb jokes and still laugh! . . . Thanks Denise for making my two years bearable. Denise M. Chan, RDH Redondo Beach, California Lilita B. Cohen, RDH San Mateo, California Lita Cohen-one of the illustrious leaders of the DH Class of ' 78. You can always spot Lita running through the halls in those flashy socks after a cup of coffee to keep her going. Who else but Lita would show up for clinic after suffering a car accident just to prove you have to be DEAD to call in sick. Who ' s to say she goes to extremes! In our junior year she had her histo notes stolen along with her car just so she could postpone taking the final. Little did she know Dr. Soule wouldn ' t go for that. But Lita ' s inherent intelligence pulled her through Histo. Biochem, Anatomy, Dental Morph and all the rest in flying colors. Nevertheless, through all the trials and tribulations of these last two years, Lita has managed to stay on top of things. Her leadership, organization, thoughtfulness and of course that crazy sense of humor has made these last years memorable ones. If we could wish her one thing in Lita ' s future profession in Dental Hygiene, it ' s that she doesn ' t attract the same type of patients in her private practice that she had in clinic. All kidding aside, we wish the best of everything in your future. A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE. THANK You ALL ... LITA COHEKJ -

DH 007: (Licensed to Fill). NAME: Em Ell. ALIAS: -Goldenfingers. SECRET SERVICE MISSION: Combatting Carious Agents ... As we brought our scope to a fine focus, we took a closer look at our DH in operation. EM Ell had ties with the Soviet Union, Egypt, China, Ireland, Canada, and Mexico; since part of her mission included collecting shopping bags from all over the world. At a recent interview, when exploring her favorite shopping extravaganza here in the US, as could be suspected, she chose the finest: Ralphing! ' At her leisure, 007 passed the time playing Softball, powder puff football, tennis, or the piano. Probing further into her private :ofe. we found she was an excellent entertainer. At a dinner party, cocktails began at 7:00 pm, vegetables and salad at 8, and the roast at 10:30. Time was well-utilized by Em Ell, especially weher there were strawberry dacquaires ... At Halloween, 007 disguised herself as MICKEY MOUSE, indicative of her attitude towards studying the night before a test: For sure, next semester, I ' m going to study early! l! What, then, gave 007 the License to Fill? Although her acedemic attitude was at times to Live and Let Die ; her clinical record certainly depicted her title, Miss Goldenfingers of ' 78. With this in mind, there ' s no doubt that this DH can fulfill her mission. From the bean fields of Lompoc, to the streets of LA, we leave with best wishes for Mary Lu. God bless you, EM ELL! Mary L. Debolt, RDH Lompoc, California Linda N. Dillman, RDH Sierra Madre. Calif. Linda seems a little shy at first but once you get to know her, out comes phrases that can delight the wittiest. Sitting by Linda, one hopes some of her brains will spill over to us. While the rest of us slaved over Histo, Linda had two jobs and The Source was only 6ne of the books she read. Then to add to this, who got the A in Histo? Linda, of course! Perfection she seeks, but in drawing teeth, Linda had to let her hair down. That was one hurdle this filly had to struggle with. We know Linda will go a long way. We appreciate her sincerity and dilligence and we know Linda will be an outstanding hygienist. She has just that right balance of humility and intelligence that makes her outstanding in all she does.
