SOLOMON COHEN Erudite Solomon, whose mental capacity in no way belies his namesake, also possesses a warm, engaging personality and a trenchant wit. A lover of the open spaces as well as books and music, he accumulated some of his undergrad- uate credit at Denver where he was graduated B.A. and elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Extra- scholastic experience was gained at the West Virginia Medical Center, and his education gen- erously broadened by the Air Forces in which he served as bombardier. Asked his aspirations, Sol modestly remarked, graduation, but his class could testify that he could have listed more noble feats with excellent chance of realizing them all. RAYMOND RALPH CURANZY Big Ray, a well developed, well nourished white male considerably younger than his hair line indicates, came down from the hills to learn medicine after trying every other available means of earning an honest living. He has mined coal, assisted his father in maintaining electrical equipment, ran a drill press in Pitts- burgh, a lathe in Detroit, a bulldozer in the construction of the Turnpike. For three years the Army maintained him in the South Ameri- can jungles. Despite the variety, he found time to jaw Juniata College out of a B.S., and now will return, with his bride, a graduation present, to General Practice in Pennsylvania. 23
