JOAN BILKISS LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA University of Southern California ' I want to form a committee . . . and, we ' ll all get better grades. This is Joanie. But there is more to our gal: prime authority on Peyton Place . . . hyperfilled ball of fire . . . word for word notes . . . gunner . . . with good aim? star of the S and T Christmas Show as Sara Bellum. Hustler Joanie likes the out-of-doors and numbers swimming, riding, sewing and knitting among her hobbies. To these, talking on the telephone might be added! Okay kid . . . one false move and you ' ve had it. Let ' s go poison pigeons in the park . . . KATHY BROCKETT SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA University of Southern California One of the three muskateers . . . Tri-Delts, that is. Kathy takes all of our kidding with her cute turned-up smile and peddles away on her bicycle to her homing place, the Tri-Delt house. Whoever thought of Kathy as quiet during the first week should have waited until the second week when her clever wit started to flood the Histo lab. Kathy achieved a reputation for hard work . . . intermittantly. She plans to return to La Mesa, her home, to await the state board results. Maybe she will spend part of that time water skiing as she often does during vacations. Chances are Kathy might remain in the San Diego area to work. 220

SUSAN BALLARD PASADENA, CALIFORNIA University of Southern California Having decided that the best way to tour the Trigeminal Nerve was armed with a gun and camera, Susie set out to do just that. It was a hectic journey, but in the end all came out well. It must have been the strain of the trip that made it so easy for Susie to take naps in class every time the lights went out, and at times when the lights were on! She has been an active participant both in and out of DH. She has served as president of Delta Delta Delta and Spurs, and has been our class recorder and AKG reporter. We will never forget the outstanding job done by Susie in organizing our now infamous donut sales. For the future Susie has ideas of taking fine arts classes at night school and perhaps studying medical illustration. Also, she has thoughts of practicing in Europe. Oh, I ' m so glad to be back in the clinic today! Please don ' t take my Sego! JOY BEBBLING TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA University of Southern California If I had it to do over again, I ' d lose twenty pounds and be a cocktail waitress in Vegas! . . . so spoke Joy during our junior year. Though we all laughed, we believed her! After all, Joy proved herself right at home in Vegas during the ADA Convention ... to the tune of winning $135 at craps . . . Joy was a real natural, and a natural she is when it comes to water skiing or swimming, and not to forget handwrestling. For Joy dental school has been traumatic . . . still, whatever the situation or restrictions, Joy has managed to maintain her individuality . . . long hair and uniquely designed uniforms — mmmm — She will be an outstanding hygienist in spite of her struggles with conformity. She has a rare sparkle, a bubbling ever-present and ever-heard laugh and most of all, she cares. 219

LINDA CHOQUETTE LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA University of Southern California We know Linda as quietly determined but with a sparkling wit to match any occasion. We know Linda likes to be neatly dressed and especially favors her blue and maroon outfit, and a variety of hair bows. We know Linda tends to panic at the thought of an exam but always seems to pull through. We know Linda as somewhat conservative and somewhat reserved, but is that the real Linda? Her talents in presenting A Visit with Susie and Dr. T were all appreciated by our class, but the kindergarten reaction was something else! In her other life Linda is a member of Delta Gamma and had the good fortune to spend one summer studying at Upsala, Sweden, and traveling through Europe. Cosh, oh golly, I mean jeepers. •ie« Fooled her that time. JAN CHRISTENSEN CULVER CITY, CALIFORNIA University of Southern California Who is the girl cheering so loudly football season . . . basketball season . . . baseball season? The real USC rooter is our gal, Jan. Thanks to her quick wit, compounded with an easy sense of humor, we managed to keep Liz in Path lab during the junior year. Her ability to actually understand Chemistry amazed many of us and helped us to pass the course. Jan knows the TV schedule backwards and has read a variety of everything. Her secret desire is to graduate as a DH and then continue her education in psychology or anthropology. She plans on leaving Culver City to practice in Santa Barbara, San Bernardino, or the big town of Los Angeles . . . ? 221
