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

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

WILLIAM MORRIS BROWN, JR. This long, lanky Southerner was born early in the morning on December 13, 1926, in Macon, Georgia and has been tired ever since. Morris received his A.B. in 1948 from Mercer University where he was a member of the Kappa Alpha Order. He took two years off for a sojourn in the South Pacific as a staff sergeant in the Medical Corps. Last sum- mer Morris served as a surgical intern at the Middle Georgia Hospital in Macon, and since has had chronic Bard-Parker fever, adopting as his motto — “If in doubt — cut it out.” His interests are golf, tennis, scotch, experimental surgery and Nu Sigma Nu. A strictly suave, debonair, easy-going young man, Morris plans to specialize in General and Thoracic Surgery — in Georgia, that is, suh. JOHN EDWARD CARROLL, JR. This red-headed, freely-imbibing Irishman was blessed upon his fellow-man on October 8, 1922. Although born and raised in Baltimore, the thing dearest to his heart is “the wearin’ o’ the green.” During the war he flew the big ones as a Captain in the Air Force and he took a flight to the altar with Dorothy in 1946 which led to John E. Carroll III — age 4. Jack was president of Phi Beta Pi, is a member of Alpha Omega Alpha, and has long been one of the more prominent socialities of the pinball set. Since 1950 he has been as- sociated with Dr. Novak at Bon Secours Hos- pital. As yet undecided as to his future plans, at present he gives the nod to OB-GYN.
