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

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

ALE M BI C FRED DE WITT Common Name — “Fred” Habitat — Kingston, N. Y. Fred is the type who is seen about the halls of A.C.P., but seldom heard. During World War II, he served with the U. S. Marines. Fred is one of the many married members of our class. While at A.C.P., he became a member of Kappa Psi. May the years to come bring you good fortune. RAYMOND E. DONAHUE Common Name — “Red” Habitat — Poultney, Vt. Hailing from the Green Ridge Mountains of Vermont, Ray came to A.C.P. shortly after being discharged from the Army. Realizing that a Democrat be he a Pharmacist or clerk is not too compatible in Vt., Ray has decided to qualify for the New York State license just in case his Vermont cronies find out how he is voting. Ray will always be remembered for his quick ways and good judgment. ROBERT J. DYROFF Common Name — “Sweetwater” Habitat — Highland Falls, N. Y. Just about one of the most versatile fellows around is our boy Bob. He left A.C.P. during the war and returned after his time ran out on his tenure in the Army. As a Freshman he was President of his class and a member of the Student Coun- cil. His overwhelming interest in school affairs helped him to rise to become Regent of Kappa Psi, having served as Vice- Regent in his Junior year. Athletically, Bob had his hand in every pie. He was a varsity bascballer and hoopster here at A.C.P. and commuted to Schenectady to win a Major “U” at Union for hockey and football. He, too, is a member of the Block U Society. VINCENT R. DRAKE Common Name — “Vince” Habitat — Norwich, N. Y. Vince has encountered many hours of extra-curricular duties, being president of his Junior Class. Also, he has been an active member of Kappa Psi for three years. Prior to his entrance at A.C.P. Vince did service with the Navy. He is still a bachelor, but there’s something about the Med. Tech, course very ap- pealing to him. T wenty-six
