WILLSON, LEROY M., JR.: It has been said that by tightening only a single bolt in Leroy's psyche, an ordinary and well adjusted individual would have resulted. To the dismay of the Moronic Forces of Conformity around the medical center fand General Telephonel, this adjustment has not been made so that our class has been graced with one of its outstanding and outspoken characters. Reared in Georgia and educated at UNC, somewhere along the way he became possessed with the study of theology and psychology. Caught between Martin Buber and Morton Bogdonoff, he has nonetheless steered a reasonably straight path during his medical education fin the direction of Hanes Housej and has distinguished himself as Jack Flanaganis favorite. Whatever may be Leroy's final professional choice, it will be a sad day for the nurses and a sad day for individualism at Duke when he departs. 2 saws Q - if fbi s . cg . 4, I tx WILLWERTH, BEN MATTHEWS: Sweeping down from the barbarian stretches of upstate New York to our Southern halls of culture, Ben sacked the undergraduate quads, accumulating enough wisdom in three years to win his way into Davison Building. Schooled since birth in the ways of cutlery by a surgeon father, he has given his apprenticeship professional certification by summers in Dr. Sealeyis lab. With unswerving constancy, he married nurse Nancy, also the offspring of a surgeon and the world awaits with trepidation the birth of the first gloved, gowned, and scalpel-bearing neonate. WITHERSPOON JOHN MICHAEL: 'This Duke alumus refused to make a bee line for the M.D. degree, managing instead to achieve a most interesting and varied program of study while in medical school. Finding the first two years easier than most of us, Spoon spent nine months in Dr. Long's lab working on the application of computers to medical research and teaching. Clinical quarters were taken at Colom- bia and Edinborough, but before leaving for the Old World, Mike married Louise, a sure asset as Mike goes on into a career in internal medicine. Spoon has recently traded in his sports car for a microbus and we wonder if John and Louise are planning to fill it in the near future. -Q- -

, WETTERAU, NORMAN W.: When we first met Norm our freshman year, he impressed ,.,... , us with his amiable character, his nervous energy, and his faith and idealism 8 which have not tarnished even in the cynical worldliness of medicine. To be sure, A ' Q there were some trying moments for Norm when the Fruit Chewyu consumption T . J increased, when the letters from Wheaton were irregular, and when the Wednesday afternoon surgical conference was too severe. In spite of his lengthy sermons on the masses of irrelevant research data, Norm did do some interesting research in -, ,hr public health at UNC in preparation for an elective in Nicaragua. Norm and his Te- is, wife Nancy, are looking forward to the day when he hangs out his shingle and begins a career in family medicine. wget... Lg. N.

His med school history demonstrated a successful subli- mation of that boyhood mischief. In our freshman year he was ever the first on his block to finish the chapter, the first to begin the dissection, and the first to finish. M Yet his retention was sometimes phenomenal. Who could forget the anatomy demon- stration when Ben Venetta's face fell after Robin's fifteen minute presentation or his '6short discourse about glial cells to Dr. Peele? From Harper clan country came Frances, and Hnally Robert, number three. Fong is about to take the first step is 1 ' . egg. . toward a career in neurosurgery.

19 ' 4'1- AWSPEROPOULAS, ATHAN JOHN: Another Florida man who came to us via The Johnf' Athan, with his keen mathematical mind and huge capacity for preclinical minutia, quickly made it evident why he was flying the Phi Bete flag. We were all amazed when he completed his summer's task of designing a computerized model of cerebral blood flow during his first day on the job. At the present time Athan is sharpening up again in math and chemistry down on the Quad We hope it won't be long before he returns with his talents to the med center. Will be graduated after June 1967. What's good for a Kool Ade hangover? 1, YY,.J-425 WOODARD, WILLIAM T., JR.: Somehow, for reasons unknown even to himself, Tom switched tracks and wound up in the medical world. Also a student of politics, and most liberal in his views, Tom tries to play fair and so subscribes not only to the New Republicf' but also to that right wing publication, Time.,' As he returns to Florida to practice urology, Tom carries with him multiple Duke degrees and honors fl-'hi Beta Kappa keyj and wife Margie whom he married in January. This is the 437th Duke Hospital admission for Love those side pockets! this 23 Year Old - -
