PHARMAKON JOSEPH H. BERGERON Common Name — “Joe” Habitat — Ogdensburg, N. Y. With names such as Bugs Bunny right on down to Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer associated with him, Mr. Bergeron still managed to spend four happy years here. Kappa Psi welcomed Joe into their ranks when he was a Freshman. Since then Joe was always one of the more active fraters both to the fraternity and to the school. Perhaps that’s because things around here were a little more cheerful than on Okinawa where Joe donned the blue uniform of the U. S. Navy. MARVIN K. BERKE Common Name — “Marv” Habitat — Albany, N. Y. Soon after his enrollment here at A.G.P. Marv left to see the world with the Navy. He returned to join our class in 1947 as a Sophomore. At that time he joined Rho Pi Phi and remained on as one of the more active fraters. Marv was a varsity hoopster as a Freshman but gave way to other activity. The A.Ph.A. finds Marv as a Charter Member. STANLEY T. BROWNSTEIN Common Name — “STB” Habitat — Elmira, N. Y. Stan will always be remembered by his ability to write notes just as fast as they are spoken without ever losing a single word while turning a page. Stan is one of the younger graduates and his bursts of energy prove this readily. He has been seen doing the Iodine Assay no less than six times. The time between assays was devoted to the Camera Club and Mortar and Pestle. Truly, his prime interest was with Rho Pi Phi, with whom he served as Scribe and Manager of Rope Hall. FRANCIS W. BURNHAM Common Name — “Frank” Habitat — Massena, N. Y. Since coming to A.C.P., Frank has devoted his time to the Athletic Commission, and he has been largely responsible for the fine intercollegiate athletic participation program instituted here in recent years. Climaxing his interest along these lines, Frank was duly rewarded by his appointment as Athletic Com- missioner. As a member of Kappa Psi, Frank served as Secre- tary in his Junior year.

ALEMBIC ABRAHAM ABBOTT Common Name — “Abe” Habitat — South Glens Falls, N. Y. As a member of Uncle Sam’s Army, Abe put in a bit of combat duty in the E.T.O., before making his way to A.C.P. in civilian attire. Perhaps A.G.P.’s most devoted bowling enthusiast, Abe was a varsity bowler for four years, climaxing that stint by being elected captain of the team for the past two years. Even with the bowling and the week-end trips up North, Abe still managed to be an active Kappa Psi brother. WILLIAM S. ADSIT Common Name — “Bill” Habitat — Richfield Springs, N. Y. Always interested in athletics, Bill blossomed forth as one of our oustanding performers with the baseball team as well as a top notch bowler and J.V. basketballer. In cognizance of his athletic interests, Bill was chosen as Sports Editor of the Alembic Pharmakon. A married veteran. Bill’s proudest fixture is “Willie, Jr.’’, who is as recent as the latest N.N.R. Not to be forgotten is the fact that Bill and Kappa Psi get along with each other. ROBERT G. AHRENS Common Name — “Radar” Habitat — Oneida, N. Y. In Bob we have a true A.C.P.’er who would rather do things here at the College than anywhere else. His many activities found him busy with the Mortar and Pestle, Camera Club and the A.Ph.A. lie gave considerably of his time and effort to this publication. Bob is a collector of State Pharmacy licenses. He has an empty space on the wall, next to his Vermont license, waiting for his New York certificate. BERNARD BERG Common Name—“BB” Habitat — Hudson, N. Y. How he did it still is a mystery to some of us! Commuting daily from Hudson and maintaining excellent grades, Bernard deservedly won himself a place among the top men in the class. A veteran with a Philippine Island background, Bcrnic moved his gear to Kansas State College where he became inter- ested in Engineering. A year in the Sunflower State convinced him that Albany and Pharmacy were more of what he liked. Twenty-two

ALEMBIC BENJAMIN E. CANE Common Name — “Ben” Habitat — Schenectady, N. Y. Like so many of the male members of the class, Ben an- swered the call to arms and found himself wearing the kahki of the Army. Upon being discharged he found his way to Albany to learn more about viscosity, ph, and the such. Ben is one of the quiet members of the class but one easily can see him taking off for home each day in the big Olds. DIANE CARON Common Name — “Carron Oil” Habitat — Cohoes, N. Y. As an embryonic pharmacist, Diane arrived at A.C.P. pre- pared to do or die. Her friendliness and ready “Hi kiddo”, has won her many friends here at the college. The Caron camp on the Mohawk River has often been host to a number of pharmacy students and these occasions were always looked forward to with great anticipation. Active in school from the beginning, Diane soon became a member of Lambda Kappa Sigma Sorority and later joined the Girls’ Club when it was organized. JACQUELINE CLAUS Common Name — “Frenchy” Habitat — Schenectady, N. Y. Something was added in our junior year when Frenchy joined our happy family. A transfer student from the Uni- versity of Paris, France, Jackie brought with her not only intelligence and charm, but also that vivacity and eagerness which is so characteristic of our French friends. And how about that pert accent? We’ve all spent enjoyable moments listening to her recount some of her interesting experiences with her “zees and her zats”. When the student branch of the A.Ph.A. was organized last year, Frenchy became one of its charter members. FRANK R. CLOWE Common Name — “Monsieur” Habitat — Hudson, N. Y. Always complaining just for complaining sake, Frank will be well remembered for his jovial outlook on life. Whether he is telling the joke or is the blunt end of one, Frank is always there with his hearty grin. As an Army Air Force veteran, Frank served as a medic. From then on in he came to us for further knowledge of the mysteries of the drugs. Even learned the therapeutics of Lactose! Twenty-four
