James John Ball Although Jim was born in Flint, Michigan, his dad ' s army career made his visit there short. He did stay in one place long enough, however, to complete three years at the University of Illinois, winning a Phi Beta Kappa key in his third year. In his four years in Baltimore, his interests have ranged far and wide — from medicine, to bridge, to automobiles, to wife Anne, whom he wed in July ' 53, and recently born daughter. After graduation, Jim will again be on the move to an internship in the South, and a future in general practice. Robert Maitland Barnett, Jr. In 1930 Baltimore got a fleeting glimpse of young Bob, but he was soon on the go — Washington, Charleston, Savannah, and finally Durham which he now calls home. After three years at the College of Charleston. South Carolina, he trekked back to Terra Mariae and proved a steadfast good worker, worthy of the title of Physician. With interests varying from Verdi to tennis, from fire fighting in California to the operating floor battle- ground at South Baltimore General, Bob hopes to intern in his adopted Dixie with practice there in either Pediatrics or Urology. Eugenio Enrique Benitez-Van Rliyn First opening his eyes to the Caribbean sun twenty three years ago in Santurce, Puerto Rico, Gene spent three years at the University of Puerto Rico with intensive study and extensive sun bathing, before coming Stateside to Baltimore. Outside activities in Med School include membership in Phi Beta Pi, and the New- man Club, and election to AOA in his third year. Summers have been spent back home instructing anatomy at his Alma Mater, and officiating at the medical OPD at Mimiza Hospital. A future in either Internal Medicine or Pediatrics is still to be decided. 1S yj

John George Albrecht Jack has the sole distinction among us of having been in a movie some years ago. Fortunately for us, he forsook the silver screen for the healing arts. Queens, Long Island, in 1929 first learned of his presence: Jones Beach has employed him as a life- guard; and Adelphi College numbers him among its alumni. On coming to Baltimore he brought wife Sybil, a Goucher grad, with him. Friendly and mild-mannered. Jack has not as yet settled on a specialty or location of practice but strongly confirms re- ports that a rotating internship in Virginia is his procedure of choice. George Kohler Baer In 1928 George put in his name as potential M. D. in an all ready medically prominent family. Given the privilege of Army life for a year and a half in Japan and Korea, he marched back to Baltimore to finish at Johns Hopkins and come to our hallowed halls. Spending off-hours at City Hospitals, he has been fre- quently found awaiting the crowning on A2. Undecided as yet as to type and place of internship, George will carry his quiet and efficient ways into a thriving practice in his chosen field. Stanley Paul Balcerzak, Jr. All that Pittsburgh produces is not steel — Stan being a prime example. Born there, raised there, attending college there, he has been lent to us for four years by the Smoky City. The in- trigues of medical school and Nu Sig occupied his freshman days but the gleam in his eye which he brought back from his first summer could only have resulted from other interests. Ac- cordingly Stan and Mary, a charming Pittsburgh lass, were wed during the second summer and a husky heir appeared during the third. Stan, a member of AOA in his senior year, plans to intern and practice internal medicine in i ' ittsburgh.

Otto Christian Beyer In 1928 Otto looked upon the world and began the pursuit of his M. D. College days at Loyola were rudely interrupted by a three year service with Uncle Sam, part of which was spent at the foot of Fujiyama. Bringing with him a small repertoire of Japanese songs, a ready smile, a dabbling in amateur photog- raphy, and an easy going nature, he took up the banner of ' 55, carrying it along with his partners in crime. Future plans are indefinite but a local internship and general practice in Baltimore seem to be in the offering. Norman Blanlunan The year 1931 found Baltimore presented with a loyal son for Norm has spent his undergraduate and graduate years all on the University of Maryland campus. Ever unruffled and friendly, he can always be expected to enliven the conversation with his subtle and sparkling wit. Long will be remembered his famous comment of mental dystocia following an Obstetrics exam. Such an avid reader of Newsweek is he, that few were the occasions on which he was found without a copy. An active Phi DE member, Norm took time out to marry Roslyn in 1952. His plans center around general practice following a rotating internship here in Baltimore. Albert Bennett Bradley Despite six years in a Tennessee military school, Al ' s first love is Baltimore where he was born in 1927. Two years in the army medical corps, and school at Johns Hopkins preceded his arrival to the class of ' 55. Known as a Hi-Fi ' advocate, a squash |)layer of note, and a regular at Nu Sig parties, A! and his wife, Dorothy, boast three young daughters ages 3, 4, and 5. Al worked at Jessups Cut during his senior year, and will be remembered for his refreshing wit. internship at Maryland General and general practice loom up ahead. 10
