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

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

TIMOTHY DANFORD BAKER In step with the music, Tim fell into the passing parade going through Mt. Washington on July 4, 1925. With an air of excitement constantly about him, he spent two flighty years in the Air Corps but, coming down to earth, he developed a more than casual interest in geology, photography, and skiing, and attended Johns Hopkins University, graduating with a A.B. in 1948. Available sparetime has been divided among his hobbies — baby snatch- ing at Volunteer’s of America Hospital, sleep- ing in class, bridge playing, and bidding at auctions. Virtually everyone in the class leaves with a remnant of Tim’s salesmanship. On June 23, 1951, he married Sue Pardee, toured the continent, and spent a month studying at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, London, while on the honeymoon. Internship will decide his future field. EDWARD HAROLD BERGOFSKY Ed, Baltimore born and bred, sauntered into the world on June 18, 1927, and immed- iately began storing information, the latter item being kept well shielded beneath a crew cut and behind scholarly horned rims. The U.S.N.R. broadened his horizons in 1945, fol- lowing which he landed a B.S. at the Uni- versity of Maryland in 1948. A member of the “Alaskan Troupe” in ’49, he spent sub- sequent summers in Paterson, N.J. General Hospital, and in Springfield State Hosital. Well oriented in most fields, Ed relies on his dry satirical wit to gain entrance into bridge games and bull sessions. He has proven his scholastic ability by being selected for the Frederica Gehrmann Award and for Alpha Omega Alpha. Eddie is a member of Phi Delta Epsilon and, after interning, expects to pour out his troubles to a psychoanalyst. 18
