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.

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.

MARK FREDRIC KAUFMAN Mark ' s dorsal aspect was a familiar sight slipping anxiously to a ring-side vantage point of a laboratory demonstration or aggressively accosting an instructor after lecture. Mark obtained his B.S. from the University of Chicago, and has done research in kidney disease in preparation for a career in urology, following an internship at County Hospital. He has been active for two years collecting the money from Phi Delta Epsilon members, and, along with his social-worker wife Fran, plans to reside in Southern California. MICHAEL T.KENNEDY Mike ' s sincere unassuming manner and carefully controlled aggressiveness, plus the rare combination of a highly retentive memory and incisively analytic mind, all integrated with incredi- ble efficiency provide the formula for Mike ' s enormous accom- plishments, both academic and otherwise. This pragmatic Trojan is as comfortable presiding over the Student Council as camping at favorite hunting and fishing retreats with helpmate Irene and Mike Jr. Although he spent a summer pursuing Lukocytes, Mike ' s future will be in thoracic surgery. WAYNE R. KIDDER Serendipity accurately classifies the meeting of this urbane ectomorph with d cute young nurse in the halls of County Hospital. Wayne and Joan plan to remain at LACGH for internship and internal medicine. Wayne ' s two summers with Dr. Reynolds gave this Nu Sig a slight edge over Hollis in the liver disease polemics. Wayne previously attended U.S.C. and Stan- ford.
