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.

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

Betty Walker, RDH Las Vegas, Nevada U. A ' Tt A- . u » fi ' t:x-. Jl -- U yQ Well, hellooo Betty was the way we greeted her. The mother of our class. Las Vegas sent us Betty with two kids and a broken down yellow bug. She always managed to get the pedo gaggers, criers, and upchuckers and handled them like a pro. Each day before clinic began, you could see Betty ' s orange chair reclined with another DH there telling her the woes of their life. She was the class shrink with sound advise for kids about those of the male persuasion. She surprised us all over the summer when she changed her name on 7-7-77 at 7 minutes to midnight. Rumor is she ' ll be the next TV series with her 7 kids - we can see it now. The Betty Bunch . If only she could get credit for all those pedo plaque controls. How she made it we ' ll never know. Somehow Betty always managed to come through it all with a smile, a laugh and a thought on the brighter side. She really cared about everyone and let you feel her caring. With all those outstanding qualities, how can she help but be successful in her new marriage, new family and new profession? We wish you the best of luck, Betty, in all your pursuits. But, no matter where your life leads you, keep one thing in mind - when you ' re mixing alginate, look at the wall clock, NOT your wrist watch so you won ' t get an impression of Flo Crawford ' s foot. Trudy Evans, RDH La Habra, California Trudy, the craziest CB in the class! Words can not describe her free loving, relaxed spirit yet unbelievable ability to cram her brain with facts and figures and fly through every test. Though there may be only 24 hours in a day, she manages to find 25 things to do! She ' ll make it through life well, if she can just learn to wake up and make it anywhere on time! Besides ironing her clothes while in them, leaving the curlying iron on all day, locking keys in her car, drinking Beebos, or eating chocolate cream pie for breakfast, she is a great friend and I ' ll miss her to pieces! Take care of her, Gary!! wmWi and more. (npt-iunlY)
