MICHAEL GROTJAHN Mike is as unpredictable as he is stimulating, as free- wheeling as he is pragmatic, as well-known for his skepticism and acerbity as for his pungent jocosity and punctiliousness. After receiving a B.A. from Pomona College, Mike spent two years in Hawaii courtesy of the Navy. He then roamed from Northwestern in psych to U.C. Berkeley in anatomy, and last summer went wayfaring through Europe. Before settling down in psychiatry, Mike will take his attractive spouse Barbara to Son Francisco for a Kaiser internship. CARLGRUSHKIN Carl, the poker-playing partner of Marv, has been seen stalking the halls of Good Sam, venipuncture kit in hand, relentlessly tracking down his victim. Otherwise, this placid future pediatrician may be found in the basement lounge at County, wedged in an obscure corner. Carl is even rumored to be growing a red beard for use in internship at Children ' s Hospital. This U.S.C. graduate, who has retained his bachelorhood, hopes to remain in Southern California for practice. LANCE HENDRICKS Lance ' s zest for sailing, surfing, and diving impelled him to cross the vast water-ways of the Pacific, testing the surf of various islands from Hawaii to Australia, culminating in a Navy internship near the estuaries of Jacksonville, Florida. This former Uclan plans to return to the sea and ski of Southern California and the practice of orthopedics.

DMES. GEPHART This pensive lad returned from Harvard College with botany notes and plans for importing his wife Connie from New England. He may return there with her for general practice or internal medicine. His expertise in botany is well known to campers in Northern California as well as to members of the Avicenna Society, who well remember his delightful discourses on medical herbs. EUGENE D. GIERSON Most of what could be said about this debonair hustler should be read only if accompanied by on adult. By unanamous decree the class determined that the only way to ensure that U.E. acted honorably was to make him a member of the Honor Council. This winsome Nu Sigma is known to be fast in several pursuits including carrying a football downfield, sports car driving, and skateboarding. An Occidental grad, U.E. lists his number of children as three, but he is probably being modest. No one is certain whether the barefoot intern will go into psysch, path, or surgery, or follow his famous father and specialize in chests. GERALD R. GREENE A very eligible bachelor, Gerry spent three years cooking for Wally, slightly less eligible one. Gerry come from U.C.L.A., but spent his summers in cardiac physiology and monkey-training with the green-suited gang headed by Dr. Meehan. This party- planner for Phi D.E. will remain at County Hospital for internship, followed by more monkey-training under the auspices of the Armed Services.

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.
