JOSEPH DECKELBAUM Although Deck considers his birthplace, Brook- lyn, New York, to be the garden spot of the U.S.A., he has lived in Baltimore for many years. Before coming to medical school Joe received a B.S. from the University of Maryland and helped many of his present classmates through organic chemistry when he was an instructor at College Park. Despite his activities at school and as secretary for Phi Delta Epsilon, Deck also has time to be a family man. He was mar- ried June, 1947 and now has a fifteen-month-old daughter. Deck will devote his attention to In- ternal Medicine and family life. ERNEST ALBERT DETTBARN Professional Magic, which he distinctly differ- entiates from medicine, and painting, which he calls Art, are the part-time hobbies of Ernie. Magic has earned him membership in the So- ciety of Osiris Magicians, Incorporated, and dur- ing college days at Randolph-Macon earned him pin money. In June 1948, he married Helen and they now have a little trick, Ernie Jr. Five summers he has donated to the Camp of the Maryland League for Crippled Children; anoth- er was spent at Frederick Memorial while still another he made money— as a Good Humor Man. He ' ll take his bag of tricks to a small town for General Practice. 24

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

LEON DONNER Either Pediatrics or General Practice will occupy Lee after he completes his hospital work and eventually squares away. College began for this Baltimorean at Maryland State Teachers College in Towson where he earned his B.S. Other work followed at Hopkins, Columbia, Gettysburg, the University of Maryland. Sum- mers have been concentrated at Camp Osceola in North Carolina, a boys ' camp, where he has served in various and sundry capacities, last year as Chief Counselor. Such work abetted his attraction to and allowed time for camping, swimming and fishing. Married, Leon has on3 daughter, Lesley Lynne, age six. His fraternity is Phi Delta Epsilon. WINSTON CLARK DUDLEY Wink was born in Tirumangalain, Madura dis- trict, India, in 1923, where his parents were serving as missionaries. His few stories of that land excel fiction. He came stateside for higher education at Oberlin College, and immediately after graduation the Navy commissioned him, sent him to sea. Ashore again after the war. Wink decided upon a career in medicine; mar- ried a college sweetheart to assure a girl in at least one port. His parents have since returned from India and he calls Aburndale, Massachu- setts, home. Like many of his classmates. Wink wavers between General Practice and Internal Medicine; fears the Navy may decide for him. 25
