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.

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

JACK OLIVER CARSON Gentleman Jack, better known as “The Great Vaselino,” was born in Bethel, North Carolina, on July 26, 1926. He was trapped at an early age, equipped with shoes and a jug, and sent to Duke University. After two years of Navy life, he went to the University of North Carolina where he received a B.S. degree and started his medical training, joining Phi Chi fraternity. Stories of Maryland’s horses and women lured Jack northward, but he soon lost interest in the horses. Well-known for his repertoire of jokes and anecdotes, this con- genial Carolinian is always a “regional host” at class parties and social gatherings. Although outwardly an easy-going, slightly shy type of lad, the nurses’ homes classify him as definitely malignant. If he survives the burdens of internship, Jack plans to do general practice in North Carolina. Illlil :? iiilill DANIEL CLYMAN Although a born and bred Baltimorean, Danny is a cosmopolitan New Yorker at heart. After two years of Pharmacy School and a two year trek through the South Pacific at the expense of the U.S. Navy, he returned to his first love — Medicine. At Maryland he obtained a B.S. in Zoology and Old English. His sum- mers were spent in picturesque New Hampshire as a dramatic director and camp doctor; and he took a commission with the U.S.P.H.S. to do research work on encephalitis. A member of Phi Alpha and Phi Delta Epsilon, he was accepted into Phi Kappa Phi and Alpha Omega Alpha also, and knows the Greek alphabet backwards and forwards. For the past two years his nights have been spent at Lutheran Hospital — medically and socially. Internal Med- icine is his goal. 22
