MELVIN LOUIS HUNTSINGER This unique fellow was bequeathed to S.C. by San Jose State College. While his lab portners were often engrossed In the statistics of attractive nurses, Mel ' s Involvement with figures focused upon the specifications of hot-rod automobiles, the test-scores of his classmates, and the tax-bracket of his mstruc- tors. Although his obtrusive offlciousness offers no Impediment to patient rapport in pathology, Mel ' s quick mind and Intense curiosity should prove to be assets In this specialty. EDWARD K. JEFFER One is uncertain whether Ed was deported from New York or lured to UCLA by a lovely long-tressed lass named Marsha. Forsaking Columbia University and the funeral business, he attended medical school during half-times of the choose-up basketball games, where his patented one-hand |ump shot proved devastating to the opposition. The fleeting flash and roar of o maroon XKE before the majority had sauntered out of the lecture hall meant that Ed would take in nine holes before dark. The peripatetic Jeffers, Ed and Marsha, were able to perfect their amateur movie making from the far reaches of Alaska to the British Isles. Ed will continue to dominate the basketball court atop LACGH. J. ALLEN JOHNSON Al plans to practice somewhere In God ' s Country, which he defines as between Oregon and Colorado. He will naturally initiate this with an internship at University of Oregon ' s Hospital, accompanied by his demure nurse-mate, Twylah. Although Al is widely known for his tennis and skiing prowess, he possesses lesser talents, such as trapping and selling desert pocket mice.

BERNARD HILBERMAN The next deep, mellifluous voice you hear will be that of this handsome chap who could easily be a leading man in the celluloid industry; he will, however, probably practice internal medicine somewhere along the Pacific Coast, preferably out of the smog zone. Bernie ' s intrepidity is demonstrated by his wearing a U.C.L.A. sweatshirt and rooting for Bruin football teams while at U.S.C, not to mention following Lance along the ski slopes. He likes the County Hospital pool and subterranean skateboard courts too much to intern elsewhere. DENNIS L HILL This solid member of the class did his undergraduate work at Westmont College in Santo Barbara. A rugged outdoorsman, Denny will be content if there is a sufficient number of neurolog- ical problems in the High Sierras. Otherwise, he may hove to utilize the victims of his hunting and fishing to continue his research in neuromuscular disease. Wife Kathleen will pace him through internship and 60-second neurological exam in residency at County Hospital. KENNETH M. HOUSE Ken ' s fine, competitive spirit really comes to the fore on the tennis court, at the ping pong table, and on the basketball court, where he excels. The remainder of the time Ken is quiet, modest, and unassuming, while serving as president of Nu Sigma Nu and I.F.C. He attended Occidental College and U.S.C, has worked summers at the Suicide Prevention Center, and will soon be dedicated to the practice of psychiatry. If he and his statuesque spouse Joan are missing from LACGH, Dr. Manning may contaci them at Aspen.

J, STANLY JOHNSON, FR. Stan is uniquely capable of transcending his beat world and adroitly cooling it with the remainder of society; he is sensitive to the inequities of the latter, and at once sympathetic yet critical of the former. One almost suspects that the thinly- clad, lean figure whose motorcycle speeds away from his recondite pad quickly changes uniform in a telephone booth before emerging as the white-coated, urbane Dr. Johnson. This proficient brewer graduated from Amherst College and did graduate work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His skirmish with the Selective Service System is preceded by internship at County. GEORGE E. KABACY George ' s energetic enthusiasm in every endeavor is well exemplified by his globe-spanning research activities. For a year following graduation from U.S.C. George was in exile at as unlikely a location as the North Pole; proving his adaptability to extremes of environment, he spent last summer on the hospital ship HOPE in Guinea, Africa. In the interim he found time to ploy tennis, marry Mary, dodge Hodgman, fence with Spears, and decide on a career in Ob-Gyn. ROBERT KADAS This unobtrusive charter member of the KKKK has demon- strated his individuality by making his internship at County Hospital straight pediatrics. Bob ' s talents extend from be- friending little children to putting the soft restraints on George. An active member of Phi Delta Epsilon, this recruit from U.C.L.A. is one of the few men whose wife shares his interest in baseball, since Margo works for the California Angels.
