I now that ought to make her dentures rattle! Steve Anderson marched through dental school to the turi a different drum. Everything Steve did in dental school reflected his individuality. He did things only on his own terms. Rarely on Monday mornings In the Sophomore year was Steve present for the partial denture lab. Yet when the project was due, he hustled around for a couple of days and presented to the instructors a beautiful, dazzling partial. In fact, all the projects Steve did reflected a high standard of perfection and ability. Steve would also pick and choose which classes he would attend, Steve ' s talents aren ' t limited to dentistry. A visit to Steve ' s apartment which he shared with Boyd Dansie and Don Atkins demonstrated his ability to raise houseplants, Siamese cats, and Finches. Steve was raised in Sacramento and will probably return there to practice. I wish Steve the best of everything. ou know I cant take an Impression of that yd! Why Virginia trims my moustache, of course!

Mike went through tour years of dental sctiool trying to appear unorganized and a bit messy. Actually, it was just a front to conceal that special Atkov style. While everyone in ' A lab was deciphering th e lab manual, Mike was usually done with the project. No doubt his B.A. in Po litical Science helped him cut through all of the ' B.S. Being a quiet guy and a hard worker, many people in our class never got to know Ivlike closely. However, I am grateful for the opportunity to be Mike ' s lab partner for two years. There are few people In our class that I respect more. Whenever anyone (especially me) needed class notes or help with a late project, (Vlike was always there, Mike says he may open a chain of twilight sleep offices after graduation-with the home office in University Village. If this fails, he may devote his time and energy to revising the GOLD FOIL ATLAS. I can do this with my eyes cl

' Enough nitrous, where ' s the dental hygiene lab. urnji d-Ct hJi kAyiH y0 - ct What can I say about Don Carlos Atkins III? In freshman year Don came to school with a full head of hair but managed to singe most of it in his bunsen burner while waxing up. While polishing his castings, Don more often than not ended up polishing his nose also, which prompted us to call him Rudolph. As a matter of fact, Don worked so hard polishing his Operative Honor Role project, that he was forced to invent the Neopar margin. When it came to making 8:00 classes every morning, Don would somehow drag himself into lecture and sleepily say, I should be home sleeping! Oh well, he managed to catch a wink or two during Perio lectures. Don was also quite the Oral Surgeon while in O.S. Block. In between patients, he could be found playing Backgammon in the back room. In his spare time, Don took many trips with Jose and Matt to such exotic places as McDonald ' s, the Redwoods, Eureka and the Grand Canyon. By the way, the three musketeers hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon just to have lunch! All kidding aside, Don has a sense of humor that never quits; he manages to keep his patients laughing no matter what. If a patient complains about the cost of their work, he simply tells them that it is cheap at half the price! Don is a very warm, sympathetic and intelligent person and has been a good friend. Good luck to you Don, you ' ll go far. What do you mean extract the tooth I haven ' t fit the master cone yet. ' How do we get out of here Jose?
