DONALD OTIS CAMPBELL This twenty-five year old native Southern Californlan took his premedicol training at Stanford. At medical school Don has achieved great fame for his mechan- ical abilities and has saved many lectures by diag- nosing and treating ailing projectors. Still unmarried, he spends spare time as treasurer of the Senior Class, attending student nurse ' s dances, and ex- terning at Santa Fe Hospital, v here he will also serve his internship. Don intends to have a general practice somewhere in Southern California. STEVEN L. CHRISTENSON This 24 year old native of Los Angeles received his undergraduate education at the U. C. at Davis with the intention of continuing in veterinary medicine. However, after one year in veterinary school Steve tired of cows, horses, asses, and such, and decided to become a ' real ' doctor. He then came to USC, joined Nu Sigma Nu, and married Kay Marie (the cute blond nurse working on 7400). Steve will intern at Fresno, probably take 4 years of surgical train- ing, and enter Into a group practice in Northern California. Other plans include a small ranch where he can rai se his cattle and kids. WAYNE STUART CHRONISTER Frequently referred to in the past tense, Stu was born in Urbana, Illinois in 1935. He managed to grow up, and eventually graduated from Occidental College in 1957. So shamed by an article in the L. A. Times which featured him as the typical poor struggling medical student he procured a Holly- wood Pres. externship and joined the Army Senior Program. Despite the fact that he was known as the atypical rich medical student , he was elected president of Phi Chi. His family has expanded by eight, via Lucy ( AKC Bassets, $85 and up ) with another addition via his wife, Gaye, on the way (not for sale). Stuart hopes to get an Army intern- ship in North Carolina, perhaps do a residency, and practice.

JAMES J. FEMINO Jimbo , one of the few remaining eligible bacfiejors of our class, was born in Boston, Massachusetts twenty-six years ago. He followed the gold rush to California where he has been residing the post four- teen years. This Phi Chi attended Citrus High School in Glendora, California and obtained a BA degree at the University of California at Riverside.

City School System, being graduated from University High School where he was a cheerleader and mem- ber of the gymnastics team. A graduate of U.C.L.A., where he was a member of Z.B.T. fraternity, his major hobbies are skiing, mountaineering and jazz and classical music. As a medical student, he has participated with Dr. Chester Hyman in experiments on lymphatic flow and spent one summer as an ex- tern at Leterman Army Hospital. He is a member of Phi Delta Epsilon, will interne at Highland-Alameda and although uncertain concerning plans for a resi- dency, plans to practice in the Bay Area. He is presently a bachelor with no nuptial plans in the near future. MARTIN FLEISHMAN Marty believes that laughter is the best medicine. A frequent contributer to class writeups for the year book and wise remarks (within earshot of the in- structor) he has often proved his humor. He obtained his PhD degree in Psychology at U.C.L.A. and proved in his thesis that Szondi was a biased collector of old photographs. He went on to Napa State Hos- pital (No, not as a patient), for four years as a clinical psychologist. He soon tired of security and boredom and joined us with his famous remark to instructors What are you? Some kind of a wise guy? and his equally disturbing remark on the obscure diagnosis of a patient, I think he ' s some kind of a NUT. He plans to return to the San Francisco area for his internship at Southern Pacific Hospital. Undecided as to specialty, he is looking forward to a post-internship vacation in Mexico.
