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

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.

PHIN COHEN Phin, one of the “kids” of the class, was born in Baltimore on June 1, 1928. Although he has lived in this city all of his life and intends to practice in this locale, this phlegma- tic scholar wandered south to Duke University, from which he received his B.A. degree in 1948. Phin entered medical school rather in- conspicuously, but soon established an enviable academic record, culminating last year by acceptance into Alpha Omega Alpha. His summers have been utilized in widening his medical knowledge as a fellow in Pathology and Infectious Diseases. Possessor of a satiri- cal sense of humor and a convincing poker-face expression, Phin can make the most prepost- erous confabulation seem apparently true. We are certain that his ambition to be an Internist in Baltimore will be fulfilled. STUART PITNER CULPEPPER Earmarked with the ante-bellum name of Culpepper and born in Buchanan, Georgia in 1927, this vintage Southerner now calls Or- lando, Florida home. Following two years of bedpan experience in the Navy, Stu plunged into premed work at the University of Georgia and came through with a B.S. degree in 1948. He also took a two year course in pleasantries at Rollins College, Florida, before the war. Stu was late in being shackled, but finally went the way of all bachelors in December 1951 to a girl from Orlando. Prior to that he was sauntering around Lutheran Hospital as an extern and spent a summer in pathology at Orange General in Florida. Stu’s motto may well be “Don’t Step on Me,” — for if perchance someday you are strolling through Daytona Beach you may anticipate him enjoying his favorite pastime — snoozing on the sand. 23
