MARVIN LEVENSON Marv has become fully integrated into the class despite the mysterious manner in which he began S.C. Medical School as a write-in vote on the original class list. Marvin reputedly was recruited from the University of Chicago cord-playing team and was quickly turned over to Grotjohn and Grushkin for further seasoning. He once interrupted o cord game long enough to marry Nancy. After spending a summer in ophthalmology, Marv will take a straight medicine internship at LACGH. JOHNB. MAYLARD John is a remarkably self-sufficient bachelor who periodically descends from the (San Francisco) Bay area just long enough to attend classes at S.C. He obtained his B.S. from Stanford and has served clerkships at Letterman Hospital and the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford, England. This Nu Sig is distinguished by his rapid-fire note-taking, as well as for his quick smile and affinity for the out-doors (back-packing, sailing, camping). After an internship at County, John will study internal medicine, probably specializing in cardiology. HASSAN A MOHAGHEGH Hoss ' social progress as a recent addition to the class was impeded not so much by his spending the pre-clinical years at Wayne State Med School as by the impossibility of pronouncing his name. Hass probably lost much of his Hollywood Pres externship earnings at the Cummings Street poker parlor. Although his soccer talents remain untapped at LACGH, this Nu Sig will continue his pursuit of the student nurses before returning to his native Iron to practice.

STUART LANSON Stu has spent much of medical school bugged by his tropical fish and hooked by his hobby, photography. U.C.LA. furnished him with experience in renal physiology, and his diminutive better half, Felice, who has decided to change swimming pools, while Stu interns at County. This Phi D.E. is inclined toward E.N.T. and getting drunk at parties. KELVIN LEE A scholarly if not compulsive student out of the chemistry labs at Stanford, Kal has the distinction of being able to settle his chess disputes with the use of judo; he claims a brown belt in the latter and a draw with Bobby Fischer in the former. Kal, also known to converse with Dr. Berne in Chinese and discourse with almost anyone on Viet Nam, will travel to Sacramento County General for internship. MAYNARD LEVENICK For such a corpulent fellow Maynard has an uncanny ability to steathily stalk the subject for his ubiquitous camera or implant himself in the front row of a demonstration, thereby obstructing all views except that from the ceiling. His patient write-ups are often so voluminous as to be mistaken for the old chart. Maynard probably improved his chess game during Operation Sacktime for the Jolly Green Giant. This Uclon also interns at LACGH.

RICHARD H. NALICK This affable fellow has attended most of the local educa- tional institutions , including another medical school, before determining to obtain his clinical experience at U.S.C. One is not certain whether Dick ' s transfer was to rescue his attractive wife Mary from the admirers frequenting the Student Affairs Office or to facilitate his research with Dr. Langmeade. His work in Obstetrics still proved worthwhile, however resulting in his choice of specialty as well as a baby boy PETER NASH Although Peter gives the appearance of being less well- developed and well-nourished than most County Hospital pa- tients, he is one of the few people with sufficient fortitude to take on Dr. Steinfeld, Governor Wallace, the Ku Klux Klan, and the Selective Service System all within a period of two years. Peter ' s highly individualistic activities include attending Reed College, fighting for Human Rights, lab teching, playing the flute, making rabbit stew from the hapless victims of the pharmacology experiments, and interning at Highland Alameda Hospital. DONALD JOHN NORQUIST Don has a certain air of cool both on and off the athletic field, the lithe, lean figure of this superb natural athlete quietly copping the class crown in tennis, ping pong and handball, as well as gracefully descending the slopes of Mammoth. This Stanford-U.S.C. product has worked in anesthesia, lob teching, and at Orthopedic Hospital. The precision of this Nu Sig should lend toward his future practice of orthopedics. Don and pert, petite Bonnie plan to reside in Pasadena.
