jfr ' v Judy was our class pixie. She always looked like she just stepped off the beach which was one of her favorite places hence the nickname, seashell . But Judy isn ' t the type you would have to see to know she ' s around, just hearing her famous giggle was enough. Judy was also appropriately named goofball because she was always so unpredictable. Remember the time she did a cartwheel in clinic only to land in front of an instructor? Judy is a fantastic gymnast. In fact, she had a hard time trying to decide if she should go the Dental Hygiene school or become an Olympic gymnast. She plans to work in Newport practicing dental hygiene and in her spare time coaching kids. Judy has always been very ambitious, however. She was a regular participant of mobile clinic. She worked 2 jobs, one as a librarian and the other as a dental assistant. She also managed to have a most active social life Between John. Paul, George, and R— O, her head was usually spinning Even doing all this, she just couldn ' t figure out why she was always tired. Well Jude-we hope all goes well for you in the future-you have everything going for you. And once you finally get your 240Z, you ' ll be on your way. Judy Koningh, RDH La Cahada, California Sheila A. Krutzsch, RDH Arcadia, California She ' s got a heart of gold, a bright sense of humor,and fingers that could scale the highest mountain of calculus! With these three qualities going for her. Sheila has managed to endure two, long, hard years of dental hygiene school. She had a few anxious moments, however, but who wouldn ' t with one recall patient who was an habitual spitter and another who had mini removeable gums ! Nevertheless, Sheila kept CALM and managed to stay organized and up on everything! To prove it, during lunch time, you could always find Sheila setting up for afternoon clinic. She skipped lunch to sharpen her instruments, but after clinic was over, you could bet on finding Sheila and DH42 across the steet at the Cultured Cow— the yogurt queens! Sheila ' s first year kept her busy. You could always tell when she had a late night studying ... the next day she would wear jeans and a bandana on her head! Sheila has had both bad and good times while in hygiene. The good news is that she got engaged and the bad news is that the first week she had her engagement ring, she was working with mercury in dental materials class and the mercury began to dissolve the gold in her ring! Sheila will most defi nitely be an asset to any dental practice and we wish her happiness and good fortune with her work and with her marriage! Sheila keep smiling! aJ2l uo tz hM A f f f

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!

3-J ' o - V.- . - ' SVeorfN - V Ginger suffered a cultural shock when having to move to the pits of L.A. from beautiful Provo. Utah where she attended B.Y.U. When we first met her she was gentle as a LAMB but now she ' s rolling like a WHEEL-ER. Ginger was the only girl in the class who managed to sharpen her instruments enough to trap a dental student in 4 months which lead to wedding bells the following summer. I ' ll never forget the day when clinic was closing and Tom came looking for Ginger only to find her walking a little old lady to the bus stop. What dedication! She always managed to show up at the 901 club and order a 7-up while we all drank beer, and she still had a wild and wonderful time. Speaking of wild times, Ginger loved her first experience with nitrous oxide. All she could say was I ' ve never felt like this before! The future holds for Ginger 4-6 kids, her husband as a professional partner practicing somewhere in California, and a lot of happy days! Ginger K. Wheeler, RDH Northridge, California Candice S. Liles, RDH San Bernardino, California A loyal mobile clinicer since her pre-hygiene days. Candy Is now one of Charlie ' s Angels and runs the prophy merry-go-round with great proficiency. Through her maneuvering, Charlie got her some new instruments, a few dental students to do prophys and all the Santa Paula oranges she could eat. Candy ' s interests lie in a certain foreign body reaction that she picked up in Mexico. It seems to be chronic at this point, but we hope there is a cure. Once an avid snow skier, Candy now spends her time paralleling fllmstrips and swooshing through histology - in fact she liked that run so much that she went for a second trial. When they talked about expanded hygienist ' s. Candy took them literally with what she calls her 5 pounder . Nothing a little X-Lax wouldn ' t cure. With a name as sweet as Candy, how could she go wrong? But she did when they mixed sugar n ' spice (Candy and Ginger) in DH Lab. All hell broke loose in dental materials. Though she is one of the youngest in our class. Candy is by no means left behind. She strives for excellence in all she does and is a great asset to our class. We can always count on her candid viewpoint and appreciate her honesty. We wish her the greatest success in her future life. X+ Knas be. a le-Ff harsci
