Tom the frenetic Tarheel was born chanting Carolina football cheers on August 2, 1926, in Granite Falls, North Carolina. This neonatal laison was further cemented when in ' 46 the University granted our poem-writing lad an A.B. degree. These past four years were spent in an exhaustive study of Baltimore nursing pulchritude. It is widely rumored that it was the frantic clicking of Tom ' s incisors while engaged in this latter research that cost him one set of upper teeth during his sophomore year. Tom him- self spikes this succinctly, I was merely teething on o steering wheel! Having completed his local investigations and a junior internship at St. Joseph ' s Hospital, Tom will move to the University of Texas Medical Branch Hospital in Galveston for his internship. This Phi Chi intends eventually to return to his beloved Carolina and raise some little Toms.

Va. his hair was not yet generously splashed with gray and his pants ' ' were habitual- ly rumpled; a far cry from the self controlled, impeccable product of Virginia Military Institute we all know. Bill spent five years in the Army, a good part of it in the dismal surroundings of the P.W. camps maintained by Aryan hospitality for reluctant allied tourists . Satiated with things German and military. Bill, trading the frying pan for the fire plunged into the comfort ridden, luxurious liesurly life of a medical student along with the rest of us in 1946. A Phi Chi, he has spent his summers externing and after completing an internship at Union Memorial Hospital, Baltimore Bill expects to lend his precise habits to the practice of surgery.
