: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 ' -

. . . 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 !

fiffkJ cot J 115. ffia ih f rrt. Debbie made herself known among our classmates and instructors within the first week of school, due to her dynamic leadership. Soon she was elected Jr. Class president and an efficient president at that. But a better title for her would have been social director. She really helped to pull our class together by her traditional Thursday night dinners. But what did Debbie have for dinner? A margarita or two. Did Debbie eat? Of course she did-she was famous for her nut mix and coffee during class. Debbie was probably the most noticeable person in our class with her blond hair and bubbling personality. Debbie was really our sun girl, outside by the garbage truck was a favorite spot not only to gaze at the sun, but also the dental students. Debbie, we know you were innocently involved in too many Peyton Place dramas in dental school, but you must admit its beerr fun. Deb, we know you love your home in Santa Monica, but you ' ll be moving soon and we want to wish you the best of luck in the paradise in the sun, Hanalei Kauai. Deborah J. Greenlee, RDH Santa Monica, California Janice M. Sugiyama, RDH Los Angeles, California Our dear friend Janice, who always seemed to be a bundle of energy especially after her hot chocolate from The Truck every morning, who always took very colorful class notes, who was such a dedicated worker, finding time to study in between those long clinic hours and the night shift, who contacted mono (the kissing disease??!!??), and was promptly treated by her med student, who hated football games and (hiccup!) turned purple at the USC-UCLA game, who danced her feet off at the T.G. ' s (double hiccup), who was always up on the class gossip, and always there to pull us out of the clinic pits , who was the envy of the class for being able to eat anything and not gain a pound . . . you must have heard of her famous Tupperware lunches, who we know will make a great hygienisti Good luck to you Jan! -fHAJOKS To Mi Two F tMiUes • MoM.VAD.MARY.i-H s! n »9 Au r f r PeoneAT Norrts Ml.
