T ..rLfixJUiAA X , Moorea and Napoleon You mean you ' ll give me two foils? ' I I know they ' re big. but they ' re not out to here! Michelle Buchanan-Von Florrntin Kriebel, otherwise known to many as Toots has the distinction of having the largest name tag in the schools history. Her other claim to fame shall go unmentioned for professional reasons. Actually Michelle was the perfect lab partner. She not only always had her life organized but knew where I should be and where I should go. And believe me she never hesitated to tell me where to go. That is the very thing I like best about Michelle, her sincere attitude and honest way she deals with life. However, that ' s not to say she can ' t be a real stinker at times. But at least you don ' t have to wonder what Michelle thinks of things. In a place like the dental school a little frank honesty is welcome. So to you Michelle I wish a happy and productive life, even if you are a chick!

What a way to waste a Monday! University of California Riverside and Davis, B.S. Zoology, Delta Sigma Delta Fraternity, O.K.U. (X- ■(fvt--%7 -j XU ' ' : ,u-e .- ' ' -f- ' - C-r j Z ,,. Leolin T. Brusfi, better known as Ted, was marvelous to watcfi in action. During our pre-clinical years as A-15 and A-16, Ted misplaced anytfiing and everything and it was all stolen . Whether it was during Fixed Pros under ideal conditions with ideal typodont teeth supervised by ideal instructors or during Operatiave and their similar but yet different ideals, Ted managed to misplace his mamentarium, his manikin, his gold, his honor roll project, his cubicle . . . Those lab years were worth remembering. Like the time Operative demanded certain set-ups, teeth with no caries (after all, decay isn ' t ideal . . . ). So Ted called his dad, the dentist, and two days later airmail from Bellflower comes an envelope containing the perfect tooth with surrounding osseous and the proper amount of blood ... or how about the time when we gave our first injections-on each other. Ted calmly reassured me that he had given lots of shots-on horses. Will I miss Ted? Hell, yes. I survived pre-clinical because of him. During the coming years I ' ll always wonder how many times Ted will misplace his operatories, staff and office. And how he ' ll ever find them without me . . . Thanks for everything, Ted. ' What ' s to smile about? ' You think you can do it better? '

■Where the hell is that chart? ' Occidental College, B.A., L.A.D. S., M.D.S.A., Mobile Clinic This wheel trims nails pretty good. --• r ; ?!; O.K., just take one No way, my picture ' s not goin ' in this yearbook! Back in the early days up on the third floor, things often got a little rough. You could look over at Jose, and with a low groan start to murmur Zaaa . . . Zaaa . . . Zaaa. By the third sexy Zaaa, old ZAZU would start to crack a big healthy grin. If you kept it up long enough you ' d hear him laugh and shout All-right! Things could be terrible, moods running low, but you could always count on Jose to cheer up when the conversation turned to sex. Once we made it to the second floor, Jose really got busy. His patients realized that they lucked out and got a dentist that really cared. He was busy, but never too busy to help out his fellow cell-mates. Well, the moustache has darkened up quite a bit, but other than that, Jose has remained pretty much the same after four years of dental school. He came here extremely idealistic and very much community minded. Somehow, he is managing to escape with his idealism intact, and he is now even more involved with the community than when we Having been associated with the mobile clinic since his freshman year, Jose has been inexorably moving up in status in that highly regarded organization. He likes kids and working on solving their dental needs has always been high on his list of priorities. There is no doubt that we ' ll be hearing about a community leader named Jose Bustos in the years to come.
