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

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.

PHARMAKON LESLIE B. COONS Common Nome “Les” Habitat — Dundee, N. Y. Although he did not start out with us in 1946, “Les” re- turned from the Army Air Corps where he had a chance to see how both sides of the world live being both a GI and a Gentleman by decree, to join our ranks as a Sophomore. “Les” is married and has a young son. Since coining back, he has been with Kappa Psi and has served in the capacity of Treasurer for the past two years. ERIC D. COOPER Common Name “Coop” Habitat — Auburn, N. Y. Coop learned some of his Pharmacy while serving with the United States Navy as a Pharmacist’s Mate prior to his enroll- ment here at A.C.P. Eric is one of the few family men in our class, his proudest possession being his wife, a son and a daughter. Pharmacy must rank a close fourth as Coop has always given a good account of himself for the past four years. THOMAS B. CRITZ Common Name — “Tee” Habitat — Syracuse, N. Y. Tee, as he is known to most of us, is a very versatile young man. He has played varsity basketball for three years and was elected captain in his senior year. Tee also held down the keystone sack on the baseball team last year. His fraternity is Phi Delta Chi. We'll remember him for his very clever imper- sonation of Jimmy Durante. Tee and the “little woman’ , Patty, have been married for two years. PETER A. DEL SANTO Common Name — “Pro” Habitat — Watervliet, N. Y. Young Pete Del Santo, Holy Cross gift to Pharmacy, ex- panded in all directions during his stay here. Socially, he has announced his engagement to Shirley McGraw. Scholastically, he has always maintained good grades and athletically Pete has starred both in basketball and baseball. However, he has excelled at football for the Union Gridmen where he won two Major U’s. Pete is the Veep of the Senior Class as well as a leader of the Block U Society at Pharmacy. He also has an interest in the A.Ph.A. Twenty-five
