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

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

LOWELL ELLIS BRITTAIN Although his usual manner is quiet and reserved, Lowell will vehemently avow his disdain at the slightest mention of royalty, especially British. From whence this distorted air of rebellion originated is not known, but perhaps it was accumulated after 5 2 years in the Army. This 30 year old product of States- ville, N.C. was intent on an Army career, but fate dealt kindly to Lowell, directing his foot- steps to the University of North Carolina and then to Maryland. Industrious in his work, Lowell claims, however, to be devoid of any special extracurricular interests; his wife Kay will assuredly attest that their young daughter occupies all of his free time. After an intern- ship in Raleigh, Lowell plans to pursue life as a General Practitioner somewhere in North Carolina. JAMES BURCH BROOKS This genteel Baltimorean acquired a lasting devotion toward his native city following his birth there on July 1, 1926; consequently, Jim has resided there since that very first day. He traveled via foot over Europe while in the Army and, upon discharge, studied at Loyola College, receiving his B.S. in 1948. Of a dis- passionate and somewhat lethargic nature, Jim nevertheless astonishes his colleagues with his profound knowledge of the literary classics and with his continual probing dry wit. His penmanship approaches illegibility, a factor which has stood him good stead in many exams. A member of Nu Sigma Nu, he served as its president during the 1950-51 term. Still em- phasizing his longing for home, Jim’s plans beyond internship are not yet formulated; however, we can say with certainty that he will practice in Baltimore. 20
