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

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

OSVALDO BERRIOS The sleepy metropolis of Bayamon, nestling under the torrid Puerto Rican sun, was un- mercifully stirred on December 17, 1927, when uninhibited Bob first made his appearance. 1944 found him in the U.S. Army, where he rose to the mighty rank of T 3, spent some time in Panama and later, to reward his good conduct, was sent to the barren Galapagos Islands to keep an eye on some wild goats. Remarkable Bob remains as one of the few persons to walk out on Dr. Uhlenhuth’s lecture saying, Til be right back!”. Always ener- getic, he spent his first summer’s vacation externing at Casualty Hospital in D. C., where one day he spied a cute patient, Jo Ann Miller, who is to become his bride on June 20, 1952. After internship, Bob plans to go into General or Plastic Surgery in Puerto Rico. JACK ARTHUR BRIDGES Husky Jack was hailed into the great north- western town of Mill City, Oregon, on July 19, 1921. A Chief Pharmacist’s Mate in the U.S. Navy for six years, Jack served on an LST and managed to circumnavigate the globe in a brief five months. Returning from his “grand tour,” he married Margaret in Los Angeles in September, 1944, and soon after launched a daughter, Connie. True to his name and western heritage Jack indulges in sports in a big way and one can still hear his voice echoing — “Need a fourth?”. He matric- ulated at College Park and has been our able Student Council representative for the past two years. Jack expects to serve an internship on the East coast and then hit the Oregon Trail to home. 19
