JOSEPH PAUL FESKI One of the “old men” of the class, jovial Joe was born in Black Lick, Pennsylvania in 1913. He acquired his pre-medical education at Duquesne University and the University of of Pittsburgh, receiving a B.S. degree from the latter school. Industrious Joe spent his first two summer vacations externing at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Baltimore. A confirmed married man, he tied the wedding knot with a fellow lab technician, Evelyn Swegal, way back in 1941. Joe’s special interests lie in Phi Beta Pi, fishing, hunting, cocker spaniels, and tinkering with automobiles; his future desire is to “find a small town in Pennsylvania that is seriously short of doctors and settle there as a G.P.”. JACK FINE A native of Baltimore, Jack boosted its population by one on November 2, 1924. After serving a hitch as a deep sea diver in the U.S. Navy, he obtained his premedical educa- tion at the University of Maryland. Summers were utilized mostly to support Mr. and Mrs. Fine, but somehow a short externship at Doc- tor’s Hospital was also squeezed in. An eager narrator as well as listener to any joke or reasonable facsimile thereof, Jack has enter- tained his classmates on innumerable oc- casions during the past four years; his in- imitable rendition of “Sam — You Made the Pants Too Long” will be cherished by all as a personification of his personality. As for the days ahead, Jack will probably engage in general practice in his home town. 29

CHARLES STANLEY ELLIOTT Stan is an old dyed-in-the-wool Navy man, having practiced the Navy way for over ten years as a hospital corpsman. Born in Butler- ville, Indiana, and now claiming Linton, In- diana, as his home town, he received his formal education at the University of Miami in Florida and Emory University in Georgia. His mature attitude in daily life won him the job of class treasurer for four years, during which time he has pleaded, coaxed, and cajoled enormous sums out of a seemingly poverty- stricken class. Stan is affiliated with Nu Sigma Nu and spends his spare time, otherwise, play- ing bridge, golfing, hunting, or fishing. He claims that his present special interest is “get- ting that sheepskin, its been a long wait.” Ultimately, he aspires to General Surgery, “if I live long enough.” LEE WILLIAM ELGIN, JR. Bill is an easy-going polyphagic Miami- an, who was born, reared and educated in Florida until the state ran out of institutions of learning, and then he came to Maryland. In his spare moments, he has been treasurer of Nu Sigma Nu, has delved into photography and wookwork, and has worked at Dade County Blood Bank in Miami. So far, Bill has escaped the clutches of the opposite sex which is evidenced by the fact that he plans to spend four or five years in hospital training after graduation. His primary interest in medicine is as yet undecided; but, perhaps he will follow in the foo tsteps of his father who is a urologist. At any rate, his one month with Dr. Toulson while interning in Surgery this year should serve as a factor in his ultimate decision. 28

LOUIS ALBERT FRITZ Having decided to deviate from the parental hardware and paint profession, Lou has cut a path which leads to the practice of OB-GYN in his native city of Baltimore. Soon after completing involuntary training as an Elec- tronics Technician’s Mate in the Navy from ’45 to ’46, he returned with renewed academic determination; the results— B.S. from Loyola College, Maryland, in 1948, and Alpha Omega Alpha member at medical school. Good at figures, notations, and statistics, Lou is sec- retary of Phi Beta Pi and also a vicarious sportsman who knows surprising details about the athletes in football and baseball. He caught the OB-GYN bug externing at Bon Secours Hospital the summer of 1951; at the end of the summer the love bug caught him — he married Rosemarie Ramsay on August 26, 1951. MICHAEL JOSEPH FOLEY Fairmont, West Virginia, remembers Mike as a fair-haired native son, the U.S. Army knew him as a Private, West Virginia recalls him as a Bachelor of Arts, and the Phi Beta Pi fraternity will never forget him as a drink- ing companion. By self-admission, this quiet but thoughtful lad who toils energetically through each semester, wisely “loafed away” his summer vacations. Like many young men, Mike’s interests center around his fraternity (in which his activity could hardly be termed passive), athletics, and women; like many young West Virginians, he appears to have been weaned on the laces of a basketball and to have spent a goodly portion of his child- hood sinking one-hand shots from just beyond the foul line. 1960 will find Mike as an es- tablished General Practitioner in Clarksburg, West Virginia. 30
