After attending the University of Southern California for one year, Ron transferred to Occidental College in Los Angeles where he majored in Economics and received his A.B. degree in 1964. His years at Stanford complete what has been a sampling of va- rious colleges and universities in California. While at Stanford, Ron was a member of the Moot Court Board. He will begin the practice of law with the Los Angeles firm of Musick, Peeler and Garrett and pursue his special interest in the field of taxation. His permanent address is 848 E.

Her undergraduate work was done at Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where she majored in political science. After graduating from col- lege, Sara went to Washington, D.C., and spent several months in mundane employ at the World Bank. From that perspective, law school seemed like a good idea, hence, her matriculation at Stan- ford. During the 1965 summer recess, she worked for the N .A.A.C.P. Legal Defense Fund, and in the summer of 1966, she was a legal in- tern at the Zuni Indian Reservation in New Mexico.

He spent an enjoyable childhood on the farm and attended Ellsworth High School where he debated, played football and dated the smartest girl in the class, Pat Novak. He at- tended Kansas State University majoring in General Studies thereby avoiding proficiency in anything. He was president of his fraternity, Delta Upsilon. Before coming to Stanford Ron married Pat. He was so scared his first year that he had a perfect record of class attendance. Ron was one of that last group of students appointed to Moot Court Board because of grades. He is undecided about what type of law he wants to practice, but he does think he wants to practice it somewhere west of the Rockies. LENNARD RALPH THAL Len was born to Arthur and Rose Thal in Bellingham, Washing- ton, on june 14, 1942. While attending Bellingham High School, he served as Student Body Vice President, Boys' State Delegate, Or- chestra Concertmaster, and Baseball Team Manager. Len, a mem- ber of his schoo1's honor society, graduated cum laude. He then spent four great years at Princeton University Where he majored in Religion. Len was active in the Princeton Democrcats and the Pre- Law Society. At Stanford Law School, Len somehow survived the combination of first-year-course pressure and Crothers agony. Becoming en- gaged, moving off campus, and taking more interesting courses Cwith the nightmarish exception of Legal Processj have made his second and third years much more enjoyable. At Stanford, he par- ticipated in Legal Aid and Phi Delta Phi. His permanent address is 910 16th St., Bellingham, Washington.
