JACK GREGORY This fwenty-nine year old M.D. claims Medford, Massachusetts as his birthplace, but became a na- turalized Colifornian in 1946. He was an under- graduate at UCLA where he obtained his BA degree. He continued with his graduate studies at the Uni- versity of Hawaii and the University of Pennsyl- vania in the Department of Microbiology adding MA and PhD degrees to his name. His main research endeavor was the field of microbial genetics. His plans of professional bachelorhood have been con- siderably altered by a Persian beauty, Hasmik. As an active member of Phi Chi, he has also found time to extern at St. Vincents. Residency plans are undecided, but the future holds an LACGH intern- ship and Southern California practice for Jackson . DONALD L. HALL Though Don was born 29 years ago in Donnellson, Iowa, he eventually moved to California and gradu- ated from Grass Valley High School. After a 4 year Navy hitch, which included a broad tour of Japan, he studied pre-med at San Jose State before enter- ing use Medical School. A natural for politics, Don was a student council member during his Sopho- more and Junior years at S.C. An internship at Orange County Hospital and an Anesthesiology residency are included in his plans. Hunting, fishing, and building a sportscar are just a few of his pastimes. STEPHEN D. HERMAN Southern Californians will perhaps be overjoyed to learn of the establishment of another radiology practice in the near future. Unfortunately, an idyllic tropical internship in Panama, several fun-filled years in the navy, and the formality of a residency will result in a slight delay. Fortified with an A.B. degree from U.C.L.A. and his M.D., Steve plans to plunge into the future with a critical eye, a sense of humor, a pregnant wife, and an unpretentious spirit. It has been predicted that this 25-year-old fellow ' s ability to reduce all things to absurdity will shortly be extended to include himself. -4S -
