. . . Did you ever wonder what that sound was echoing in the stairway? It was probably Sharon, one of the craziest people in our class. For those of you who know her, you will agree, she ' s loco. Whether she was high on life or high on colas, Sharon managed to maintain her own sanity . . . despite 7 Class III lesions. Although Sharon tried to keep a low profile, its impossible for people not to notice her. Under all that gorgeous blonde hair and petite body lies a most outspoken person who ' s not afraid to say whats on her mind, especially when she was out of her mind. Sharon is one person you can ' t forget. With her intelligence, skill, looks and an uncanny gift of gab. Sharon ' s natural latrosedation technique with her patients is one that is hard to duplicate and in this field, you couldn ' t ask for any better. Eh? Sharon M. Ryan, RDH Long Beach, California Craig M. Schoenbaum, RDH Culver City, California Craig has proven himself to be quite an amazing person. First he casually walked in and established himself as part of the group. This might not seem like much but you should consider he was faced with fortynine girls out of a class of fifty! Being likable and friendly he soon got himself adopted as everyone ' s new brother. He did have to make a few adjustments though, such as not opening doors for us girls or else he ' d find himself being a doorman as fortynine girls trailed through, or getting used to being called Doug, the name of the only male hygienist two classes previous. The greatest adjustment was probably learning how to deal with all of us girls as the president of the class. Another of his talents besides leadership is procrastination. He always seems to put things off to the very end and everything always turns out great anyway. All in all, I think Craig was the greatest addition to our class. Craig, we wish you all the best in life. yo z ao ycL crd !

zxEk You guys, can I have your attention . . . PLEASE!, we tiave another birthday today ... As our sunshine girl during our first year. Jann added many needed notes of cheer to our seemingly endless hours of lecture. As our senior year unfolded, we came to see a happier more relaxed side of Jann. This was sure a change from last year when, as the ace of our class, she had to be limited to three questions per lecture hour by Dr. Stan. What a hot shot! We ' ve come to know that Jann didn ' t really pull all late nighters, but was hooping it up with all the other Pi Phi sisters. Lucky patients, getting such a proficient operator - with such a guided hand and gifted heart. She ' s super!! Carol Virginia Richardson, RDH Covina, California VS- Jann Priolo, RDH Malibu, California Carol had a knack of getting the HARDEST and STRANGEST patients in clinic every time, so it was never unusual to see her setting up two hours early in clinic — just to be well prepared. Carol is the movie star of our class, she was seen dancing on the sand with The Fonz on Happy Days; look for her theater debut in the movie Grease , too. She would always come up with something to brighten our day, like the first time we were in our whites and Carol played a white tornado. We all know that Carol can hardly wait until April, when she can go back to being a part-time beach bunnie and an asset to any office. r Caro

:i: ' rrL. Gun 00 Diane was at first one of the more quiet DH ' s in our class. She always had a positive attitude throughout the two years, especially when there was a decision to be made between studying or hiking up the Yosemite (She always choose the latter). Her warm personality and trusting friendship was very much appreciated as she seemed to inspire a hope that we were going to graduate eventually. Along with her regenerated energy from her Hawaiian trip to Hanalei, her senior year marked a turning point in her life. Diane was special in several ways; she was one of the ' special 10 ; always attracted people with her little girl personality; put herself through hygiene school working three jobs during her summer vacation; and of course, she was special to her loved parents and brother. Phil. The pain of fighting the traffic back to Brentwood after school was somewhat eased by playing a Genesis tape in her little Honda. In fact, everything is Diane ' s world was little: her car, apartment, clothes, and teeth. That is, everything except her heart. Diane hopes to practice dental hygiene in Europe for a couple of years. Because of her ambitious and enthusiastic personality, Diane will be a wonderful asset in any dental office. We all wish her a satisfying career with the best of health and happiness. Diane E. Smith, RDH Brentwood, California April Stephens, RDH Northridge, California 8:15 can always bring one thing for certain-April sneaking into the back of the class. Later in the day, if you ' re looking for her, just listen for ?T? echoing down the hall. No matter how late you get out of clinic, you know that April will be even later. But maybe she plans it that way because that happens to be just the right time to make a 901 stop on the way home. Is that how she keeps her place in the ratings as one of the Top Ten partiers of the dental school? Some people wonder how April gets the energy for all of this. We think that her mother ' s lunches could be a big factor. April has many talents, too. Her first set of grades that she sharpened still make the best set of sickles around. All kidding aside, April will always be known as a great hygienist with a heart of gold, and a good friend to us all. -Tko rJi J j t . ' i ' -
