Diana was our world traveler. She is the expert on cleaning koala bear teeth after spending most of her summer in Australia and New Zealand. Diana found time in her busy schedule to keep in shape. She was a player on the Championship Powder Puff Football Team and also enjoys jogging and hiking. She is a dedicated and conscientious student, except when she is on nitrous oxide. She is probably the one who was responsible for the name, Laughing gas . Diana was very organized and was one of the few of us who didn ' t stay up for late night cramming before tests. Due to Diana ' s dedication to her patients and the Dental Hygiene profession she will be appreciated by her patients and an asset to any dental office. Good luck Diana! We wish you all the success and happiness you deserve. Diana L. Holland, RDH Torrance, California Rue Hatcher, RDH Escondido, Calif What ever happened to Paul, DH 14, that mysterious male we all looked forward to? Well, Paul turned out to be Paula who was alias Rue. For all the hygienists, being minus one male in the class was a disaster, but for a graduating blue shirt, things worked out pretty well-right Rue? When she arrived at school, her first question was, Did they pass out a role sheet? By the time Rue finished school she had bought enough tires, for all those flats, to buy Goodyear a new blimp. Despite that, DH 14 never let anything slip by and the result has been an excellent clinician who has sincere interests in her patients and her work. Rue ' s charisma will make any dentist feel they have discovered a very special hygienist.

, tz z iPt ! :v ' «J«- t:z : 7 . Most of us have had a pretty hectic time in this program, but Kathy had a few things going for her to mal e things even tougher. Like her husband Tim and her baby girl Jessy to take care of. She was also a super commuter , driving In from Ojai In the beginning and later from Saugas every day. Bus despite all these things, she still managed to do well in classes and clinic. Even as a junior, Kathy could always get in there and get her work done. I know she will have a lot of success in the future and will be a great asset in any dental office. I wish you the best of luck, Kathy!! Kathaleen Marie Frost, RDH Ojai, California Susan V. Garner, RDH Bakersfield, California Dental students have their Gunners . Dental hygiene has their Ulcer Queens . Susan was neither! She came to school with the philosophy that she was going to have a good time and do her best to fit school into her busy social schedule. After all, this was her first time away from the sprawling metropolis of Bakersfield and she wanted to really live it up. Not only did she maintain her socialite reputation, she also excelled In her school work, (excluding Histo of course). Susan ' s study habits greatly Improved (?) during her senior year. Those late nights when she and her junior dental student tutor were busy studying Oral Pathology, you dared not disturb her, as it often took ten rings before she answered the phone . . . she really got deeply involved in the subject matter and visa-versa. Our companionship made quite a striking appearance due to our great difference In size. Once commented on that we resembled Mutt and Jeff , only Susan would ask, I wonder which one of us Is Mutt? Not only does Susan Insist on always having a good time, but she seems to add a little happiness to everyone else ' s life. Susan, wherever you decide to practice, I ' m sure your presence will provide any dental office with much excitement . — Thanks +o the. rocx.n in t iue, -+ho£ e loefe nigHrs of sfudyrng tuere all loor+hLohile ?

yT c (2 c rUi2 Our littleMarnie is a ray of inspiration and sunshine. She was always seen with a smile on her face and a l ind word to say about someone. From the beginning, Marnie was always interested in nutrition, and she would often times be found at the local Cultured Cow trying to decide which topping went best with what flavor of frozen yogurt. Marnie was also one of the hygienists who arrived at clinic early and left late. She was also one of the first girls in clinic to experience a hairy tongue in a patient! Marnie plans to work in the state of Washington. But don ' t worry - she ' ll be all right. She has great plans for her future. Marnie has realized she will need a financial analyst to help her invest and manage her earnings and she has a handsome young MBA student all lined up for the job! Who knows ... he may even put in overtime. We all wish the best to Marnie and know she will brighten up many a dental office in Washington. Look out, Washington! Constance B. Kenagy, RDH La Canada, California Margaret A. Hartley, RDH Palos Verdes Estates, California Who commuted every morning all the way from 28th Street in a sporty red Porsche 924? Connie Did! Her brunette good looks and cheery smile always persuaded the parking guard that she deserved a space in the FACULTY LOT! Connie was known for her cool aid or organization. Her lists of chores were endless, her punctuality was unfailing, and her appearance was always so put together . Connie HAD to be organized to keep up with all of her activities! Somehow she found time for sorority activities, teaching Sunday School, weekend retreats to Morro Bay for R and R with her family-not to mention juggling the gentlemen around her busy study schedule! Connie even took the responsibility of being our senior class secretary and treasurer. To what finer person could we have entrusted our meager profits from sack lunch, car mat. and bake sales? Connie was so devoted to hygiene she even volunteered two weeks of her summer to work in T.E.A.M. This kind of giving spirit seems to run in her family. You see, Connies dad volunteered to be her very first patient! (He thought she did pretty well for her first STAB at it!) Mr. Kenagy. family and friends, you can all be very proud of Connie. She ' s a skillful hygienist, a conscientious worker and a beautiful friend! Look out world — H-E-R-E- ' S C-0-N-N-l-E!
