PHARMAKON JAMES H. EDWARDS Common Name—“Jim” Habitat — Watertown, N. Y. Jimmy, an ex-Army infantryman, found his way to A.C.P., to follow in the footsteps of his father. A usual site in his Freshman year was those speedy week-end disappearances back home. Suspicion was wiped out as Jim married in his sopho- more year and at present is proud of James H., Ill, and David Karl. Jim would rather play golf and sip Budweiser than work. But then who wouldn't!! FRANK E. FOLEY Common Name — “Red” Habitat — Amenia, N. Y. “From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of A.G.P.’ . Yes, that is literally the story of Frank who entered A.C.P. after a tour of duty with the United States Marine Corps. Frank will always be known for his “modesty” when it comes to athletics. He did prove a worthy asset to the Pharmacy Nine playing all infield positions in four years of college competition. Concerning his ability at basketball let us just say he played J.V. Ball for two years. Frank also is a member of the Student Branch of the A.Ph.A. SHIRLEY FRANCE Common Name — “Skirl” Habitat—Worcester, N. Y. Shirl entered A.C.P. in 1946 to begin her career as a medical technologist. She found it not too difficult to get into the swing of things and before long she joined the “Burlap and Bucket Brigade” to become a member of Lambda Kappa Sigma Sorority. Later the next year, she also joined the Girls' Club. Although she enjoys her work at Bender, Shirl is not an all work and no play gal and often indulges in outside activities. GEORGE ROWLAND GABEL Common Name — “George” Habitat — New City, N. Y. One of those rare personalities, George is a male medical technician. It was his presence which prevented the girls from becoming first class chatterboxes and kept them on the road to becoming efficient technicians. George recently returned from Key West, Florida, where he spent his vacation fishing and relaxing. Though George enjoys his work, he eagerly awaits each new day because it means another lunch period and that’s his favorite hobby. Your female colleagues wish you the best of luck, George.

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
