GEORGE CARL ALDERMAN, JR. This 23 year old well-developed, well-nourish- ed, white male, sleeping blissfully in class, was born on December 8, 1928 in Baltimore. Finding his whereabouts to his liking, George stayed on to continue his studies at Loyola College, receiving his B.S. in 1948. Being Nu Sigma Nu’s and class of 52’s most eligible bachelor, he has often experienced difficulty in fitting his medical work into his social schedule; however, his academic record will attest to the fact that the adjustment has been quite successful. Tiring of his innumerable pilgrimages to Ocean City, big George spent last summer externing at Peninsula General in Salisbury in order to be in close proximity to his “Mecca.” At present, his future plans are in a state of flux, but there is some partiality towards Medicine. JAMES WILLIAM ANDREWS “Tiger” sleepily groped his way into the city of Akron, Ohio on April 24, 1922. Prior to medical school, his past history had been punctuated by service with the 8th Air Force flying a B-17 in the ETO, by a marriage to Patricia in August 1944, and by a graduation with a B.S. from world-renowned Muskingum College in Ohio in 1948. A long, lean, gangling ectomorph, Jim goes complacently about his work, issuing “profound statements”and in- cessantly smoking a pipe. This outdoor en- thusiast quite frankly admits that his hobby of fishing and hunting has been relegated to a subsidiary role, since it interfered with his sleeping habits. “Tig,” who sympathizes with the suffering wives of medical students, plans to enter General Practice in Florida as quickly as possible after interning at Jackson Mem- orial in Miami. 16

CHARLES GLEN ADKINS On March 26, 1925, a weary, overworked stork flew a familiar course over the hills of West Virginia to the Adkins home and re- luctantly dropped its 8th bundle of joy into this well-populated residence. Reared in East Lynn, West Virginia, “Charlie Grind , spent a fruitless 3 years in the Army as an M.P. and, upon his return to civilian activity, ob- tained his premedical training at Marshall College and West Virginia University. His sum- mers have been spent chasing rats thru Georgia for the Public Health Service and externing at Venereal Disease Hospital in Durham, N.C. each vacation being adequately sprinkled with off moments spent in golfing and fishing. Following graduation, Charlie plans to return with his wife Dorothy Mae and their young daughter, Suzanne, to West Virginia, where he will intern and do General Practice. RICHARD ELMER AHLQUIST, JR. Dick, better known as the “Greyhound,” looked through his icteric eyes at the obstet- rician and stated: “I’m gonna’ be a cuttin’ doctor!” Surviving a hectic adolescence, he spent 22 months as a waist gunner in the Army Air Force, thence journeyed to Palo Alto to obtain his premedical training at Stan- ford. While in college, Dick impressed scouts with his prowess on the ballfield, but rejected a professional bid from the Yankees in favor of surgery. Fraternally speaking, he answers roll call at Nu Sigma Xu and Alpha Omega Alpha; maritally speaking, Dick answers to Jan, whom he married in 1950. In preparation for his career in surgery, this ambitious West- erner spent last summer as a surgical extern at Mass. General. Dick intends to practice in his hometown of Spokane, Washington. 15

RAYMOND MELVIN ATKINS Striding over the perpendicular part of West Virginia, Ray arrived at the town of Marlington on January 21, 1927. However, he spent most of his time in Baltimore and now reluctantly calls it home. While a USNR Air Cadet, he “covered the waterfront” of American univer- sities. His education was completed at the University of Maryland, and to top off his learn- ing, he married an Eastern Shore schoolteacher — Julia Lacey, on July 22, 1951. Ray put in time at the Maryland ‘Pen’ (as an extern) and also worked at Maryland General Hospital. He fits his Nu Sigma Nu activities in with chess, going barefoot to dances, and at one time with chauffeuring a jointly owned hearse. After striking a rich internship Ray plans to hang out his shingle in a medium sized com- munity as a G.P. DANIEL BAKAL Dan, born in the Empire City on January 8, 1926, has lived here so long that he is really a Baltimorean. In 1943 he entered the Army via the ASTRP and after sojourning at Lehigh University, he had a walking trip through Europe at the courtesy of the Infantry. Following his discharge he entered Loyola College and in 1948 graduated with a B.S. degree. Summers have been spent touring New England and Canada with his wife Ruth, and less lucratively as an extern at University and Lutheran Hospitals. At odd moments he is to be found reading, playing chess and bridge, and engaging in the activities of Phi Delta Epsilon. A thorough-going individual, Dan will spend several hospital years prior to opening up as a general practitioner or as a pediatrician. 17
