JOHN B. SHEPPARD, JR. Tired of the rigors of houseboat living, John, bestowee of his great grandfather's barn burning kit and a welcoming grimace from Stanford's minority admissions program CSoutherners, after all, given the hookworm cure and enlightened guidance, might become Americansj filled his pockets with soul grits and sidemeat and rafted west, where he became 119. 1 19 managed to maintain tenuous ties with the law school, warm rapport with the loan office, while fixing his attention firmly on the focal phenomenon of his California sojum, the bar. The back of ll9is neck is hopefully a shade paler after four years under the fog, which is to wish for effeteness, I guess. But what the hell. To the friends and friendesses who made it worthwhile, 119 wishes survival. And something more. And Tom, reliable word has it that though the Aunt Polly of the West had a four year shot at him, he ain't civilized yet. Hallelujah! DOUGLAS RICHARD SLAIN B.A., DePauw University, attended Der Goethe Institut in Germany and University College in England, received M.A. from the University of Chicago, will work for Pillsbury, Madison and Sutro in San Francisco.

This experience should be distinguished from that of the legal education, which is known to produce only nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, pharyngeal constriction, disturbance of the autonomic nervous system, periods of intense sweating, tingling and prickling of the skin with sensations of intense burning and freezing cold, mydriasis, insomnia, agitation, anguish, depression, dreamy or systematized delirium with hallucinations and self-accusation.

JAMES H. SAKODA A native of Hawaii, Jim traveled far to the East to attend Harvard University, where he majored in Government, minored in International Affairs, rowed on the lightweight crew, and received his B.A. in 1960. After a tive year stint in the Army Intelligence Corps fa term with built-in contradictionsj and a year at the Columbia University School of International Affairs, Jim enrolled at Stanford Law School. No longer eligible for the lightweight crew, he devoted his spare time to working on the Law Review and trying to get out of writing his Yearbook biography. Qafja .- H570 JEFFREY A-. SCHAFER Jeff was born May 19, 1945, in an obscure hamlet near Chicago. At the tender age of seven he escaped from what was later to become the Land of Mordor and lived for ten years in Chile, Mexico, and Spain. His career at Princeton University fthe only garden in the Sewer State j culminated in High Honors in Politics as a result of a thesis on obscenity law, field research for which included amassing a large collection of literature that ten years ago would have been unmailable. Having thus cultivated an interest in the majesty of the law, he moved westward in pursuit of his Muse, but she became an exotic dancer in The City, leaving him to fend for himself at Stanford. There he participated in a NLADA-funded project, spending one year with the good guys and the next with the bad guys learning how the criminal process really works. He also wrote his way onto the Law Review with a study of Selective Service prosecutions and came to the attention of The Great Chocolate Bar Himself as a successful plaintiff in one of what the S.S.L.R. calls the I-SCCJ cases. He hopes to practice law in the Bay Area after graduation, but the military-industrial complex may have other plans, as yet unrevealed. JAMES V. SELNA Jim was born in Santa Clara, California, on Washington's Birthday in 1945. He attended grammar school and high school in Southern California before returning to the peninsula in 1963 to enter Stanford University. As an undergraduate, he majored in history and attended the overseas campus at Tours, France. He spent much of his free time working for the Stanford DaiLv, and was elected editor-in-chief his senior year. During law school, he worked on the Stanford Law Review, serving as article and book review editor his third year. He is interested in international practice and politics, and hopes that someday February 22 will be known as Selna's Birthday. Eaffifc feed

GEOFFREY RICHARD WAGNER SMITH Conceived in Texas in August 1944, Geoffrey's parents wisely returned to San Francisco that he might be born in the Wagner ancestral home, the family fortune having been made when Wolfgang Wagner cornered the market for imitation alligator gas mask covers in the Great War. At age two, he was taken to the Chicago suburbs, and he established his political position when he beat back the first recorded attempt to impeach the fourth grade president at the Ardmore school. His collaboration with Dr. Werner von Braun on the developing of an inexpensive homemade rocket fuel ended accidentally, forcing his parents to move to a downtown apartment. Despite a fine high school record, Geoffrey was refused admission to medical school, so he took a B.A. at Stanford instead. While working in Mississippi in 1964, he saw lawyers in action and decided upon law school. Thoroughly intimidated by his professors, his only act of rebellion in the first year was authoring the judicial council decision which led to Stanford's first major sit-in. The second year was devoted to a study of the enforcement of the marijuana laws. After graduation Geoffrey will retire to his Virginia farm to practice law and write his memoirs. PHILLIP K. SMITH, JR. Smith was born on draft priority day 153 of 1946 in Wichita, Kansas, which prairie paradise he soon left for the post-bellum prosperity of Southern California. Firmly entrenched in the Los Angeles subculture, he completed his public school career at U.C.L.A. where he was awarded a B.A. magna cum laude in International Relations, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and began playing the guitar. Three years at Stanford ensued, highlighted by the wondrous discovery in the summer following his second year that the practice of law is actually fun and rewarding. Spare time in law school was occupied by work in Legal Aid, exploration of the Bay Area, weekend visits to Los Angeles, and continued guitar playing. Association with the Beverly Hills firm of Greenberg 8: Glusker will follow graduation. Smith gratefully acknowledges help and encouragement from parents, fiancee Becky Hamilton, and numerous friends who have made his twenty-four years worth living. ,iw f?7c' DOUGLAS SORENSON For them that must obey authority That they do not respect in any degree, Who despise their jobs, their destinies, Speak jealously of them that are free, Do what they do just to be nothing more than something they invest inf' -Bob Dylan If you want to know the law and nothing else, you must look at it as a bad man, who cares only for the material consequences which such knowledge enables him to predict, not as a good one, 4, who finds his reasons for conduct, Whether inside the law or outside of it, in the vaguer sanctions of conscience. -Holmes,The Path of the Law, 10 HARV.
