Russell Denegar by tke Senior Class lege of Pharmacy Union University FORWARD In undertaking the publication of your yearbook the editors of the 1951 Alembic Pharmakon have attempted to present in an interesting and accurate manner, through the media of photography and the written word, a faithful reproduction of your college days. In so doing we have endeavored to break the bonds of tradition and have deviated from the stereotyped pattern set forth in recent years. The members of the staff sincerely hope that in the future this yearbook will enable you to relive in part your many hours spent at the Albany College of Pharmacy. The Editor [4] Seated, left to right: A. Richardson, E. Henry, R. Bauman, W. Fizette, H. Farrell, K. Gray. Standing, left to right: S. Hickey, R. Newhard, L. Joncas, J. Fay, D. Kinney, R.

Indiana, Dr. Dobbins received his B.S. degree at Ohio Northern University, and his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees at Ohio State University. Although he had been with us for only two years, Dr. Dobbins was no novice at the game of teaching, having held the position of Professor of Biology at Ohio Northern University for 22 years. His patience and understanding in combination with his profound knowledge of the biological sciences will long be remembered as sources of inspiration for future attainments by those fortunate enough to have studied under him. The untimely death of Dr. Dobbins has saddened the hearts of all who have known him since his arrival in Albany in 1947. IVe of the Senior class are honored to have, been the first of his Botany students at the Albany College of Pharmacy, and regret that the lack of time did not allow him to transmit more of his vast store of natural knowledge to us. It is with great pride that we. dedicate the 1951 edition of the Alembic Phar makon to Dr. Raymond A. Dobbins.

ERASTUS CORNING, 2nd, A.B., 1950 mmm KA [10] To the graduating class of 1951 may I, in behalf of the Faculty and Board of Trustees, extend heartiest congratulations. By your industry and perserverance you have successfully completed a strenuous and exacting program. Your firmness of pur- pose and high level of ability enabled you to succeed while others fell by the wayside. When you began your studies in the fall of 1947, the world was in an immediate post-war period and appeared to be on the verge of a long era of peace and pros- perity. Then, you had a right to believe that if you could meet the challenge of a col- lege career, your future would be well-defined in a chosen field. You did your part and met these challenges successfully, but the words and deeds of a few men lustful for power have, temporarily at least, deprived you of the full measure of your reward. Communistic and Godless men in distant lands, and some in your own count- ry, have decreed that you shall not be allowed to practice your profession in a peace- ful atmosphere. Instead of the happy Commencement of a career designed to make men’s lives healtier and happier, for many of you it may be the beginning of a period in which you will be forced to tear down and destroy other men and other nations if you yourself are to live as free men. The uncertain future lies before you. The guiding principles and ethics of your profession as laid down by your fellow men have been included in your preparation for it. But even a higher code of moral conduct than that demanded by your asso- ciates will be necessary if you are to develop the integrity and strength of character to live honorably in these troubled times. As the Chancellor of the University confers the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy upon you and thus opens to you the portals of your profession, may you remember that this honor which has come to you is shared by your family, your teachers and the many others who have made it possible for you to attain it. May you in some small measure repay them and at the same time bring to yourself a full and useful life by the proper exercise of the rights and privileges granted to you with the awarding of your diploma.

Future classes are influenced by our example and enlarged by whatever contributions we have made. Over a period of four years, the class of ’51 has been benefiting from the efforts of previous classes. In its turn, it has endeavored to make valuable ad- ditions—that those who follow might meet a great- er heritage. It was back on September 22. 1947 that we first saw the light of day at Albany College of Phar- macy. Our hearts were skeptical of those around us. and the halls and classrooms were a far cry from our high school days. On that day, exactly 122 bewildered heads appeared for their first chemistry lecture from Prof. Reed. Some of us were fresh out of high school, while others had seen several years of military service. It was a “mixture” of people who before graduation day arrived had been “shaken well”. We were all total strangers—but it did not take long for us to form many friendships with fellow classmates, and head- aches for our Profs. We found out early in the pur- suit of our profession that we could always turn to Dean O'Brien for helpful advice and guidance. Some of us may not have wanted to enter his office for encouragement, but at times special invitations were issued. Along in October of our freshman year, we were called together to elect class officers. We all started looking around trying to decide just who to select to carry out the duties of our class. After due parliamentary procedure. Ken Gray (the man with the camera and gray coat sweater) was chosen president. His assistant and student council buddy was Bob Newhard (“Irish”—wonder where he got that name). Anne Keeler (the gal with the voice) was elected secretary and Nancy Palmer (now Mrs. Silvernale) was our historian. That year saw quite a few of our embryo pharmacists on the basketball court. Bob Boscoe, Bob Newhard, Dick Peplinski, and George Gaf- farelli saw service with the maroon and white that year. Vi e found out early that basketball was the favorite sport at the Pharmacy Institute, and we were all proud to be represented on the team. Me soon discovered the meaning of the ex- pression “burning the midnight oil.” I’m sure all night cramming was something new to the majority of us. Many sat up with a cup of black coffee in one hand and an algebra book in the other hand before a quarterly examination that year. Can we ever forget the course in physiology we had that freshman year. What we didn’t know about the heart—and still don’t! And so the majority of us became sopho- mores—“the wise fools”. TIIE SOPHOMORE YEAR As sophomores, we began to learn just wrhat a stiff course it was to become a pharmacist or tech- nician. We surely got our fill of science in this year. Oh yes, how can we ever forget that year spent with Prof. Lapctina and the physics book. Velocity, acceleration, resistance, torque, definitions, prob- lems- we had our head and hands full with all these things. It would be interesting to know just how many of us could hook up an electric circuit now, even if we did have a diagram staring us in the face. We did come away with a lot of useful information, Prof. We received our first taste of manufacturing pharmacy this year by making tinctures, fluid- extracts, lotions, solutions, and ointments, ft was here we learned the useful art of washing dishes. I'm sure that if sope of those preparations were used in dispensing pharmacy, even Doctor Husa couldn't explain what caused the incompatibilities. Due to the fact that the enrollment at the col- lege had risen to such a large number this year, the boys’ room was converted into a classroom. The result- smoking was permitted in the lower halls. This was the beginning of a number of ro- mances during our sophomore year. It w’as a lot easier to stand with a cigarette in hand, talk about the events of the time,.and end up with a date than it would have been to wangle a date during classes. During that year, the girls’ room might just as well have been turned into a classroom also, for one could find all the girls stationed in the lower hall. The weight held by fraternities came to the foreground as class elections were held. The fra- ternities faced each other and in turn the indepen- dents had to face them. Out of all this, Bob Newr- hard emerged as class president. The girls club and sorority showed their power by putting Jeanne Burns in as vice-president. Ann Marie Richardson was given the secretarial duties, and Carolyn Ter- hune (now Mrs. Yollmer) wrote our pages of his- tory for the year book. We again faced quarterlies and finals, and again we had to put our heads to the grind, drag out the notes and books, and burn that lamp ’til the wee hours of the morning. All the time we hoped we w'ould survive to see our junior year. THE JUNIOR YEAR Let’s take a count of how many survived until their junior year. According to the records, we had 102 still struggling to gain access to a sheep- skin.: We were past the half way mark of our col- HISTORY lege life arid starting the year with much enthu- siasm. Everyone walked into his first pharmacology class wondering just what to expect from the de- mon who taught this course. (To those who have never been exposed to a pharmacology course at A.C.P., demon refers to Prof Hanmer). For two years we had been hearing vicious rumors concern- ing this roan and his courses. It didn’t take us long to find out that if you didn’t have paper and pencil all ready to commence when Prof started to lecture, you were hopelessly lost for the rest of the period. If you were one of lire fortunate ones who could keep up with him. you couldn't take time to cross a “l”, or dot an“i”, or even bother with a period. The word was confusion when notes were recopied. We all blossomed out with 3 by 5 cards on knowledge in pharmacognosy was amazing to see how much of which all our written. It was it sunk in. Some doses, uses, common names, and B.O.’s became as common lo us as our own names, while others were as foreign to us as the meaning of the Thing”. The junior prom was the biggest project of the year. The committees worked very hard and llieir efforts were appreciated by all who attended. It was held in the main hall room of the DeWitt Clinton Hotel on May 5th. The dance was a rol- licking success, as proved by the fact that the dan -e floor was filled to capacity at all limes. If you couldn t get on the dance floor, it was just a short walk to the floor below where you could still have something cool and soothing at your linger tips. hs, Again we gathered together for class electio and after the smoke cleared out of the air. Ken Gustafson was elected president; Jerry (no relation to Prof. Hammer’s dog) Mastrianni, vice-president; Shirley (let’s play pinochle) Hickey, secretary; Jean (what’s trump) Berke, historian. It was during this year that many of us took the advantage of the offer to go to Indianapolis as the guests of Eli Lilly and Company. Remember the joker who went through the car hollering “ham sandwiches” every hour on the hour after midnight. Lilly fed us well while we were there. They had to because they walked it all off us dur- ing those excursions through their plants. Have you ever eaten a mortar and pestle? Just ask anyone who took this trip about it. and they will let you In on a little secret. Finals stared us in the face again. Result- one hundred of us became seniors. THE SENIOR YEAR And so on the last lap of our journey through the halls of A.C.P., we were at last seniors (in spirit (?) anyway). The first few- days, we were in a fog as far as bacteriology was concerned. We knew- we were looking for something on those slides, but the only person who knew what was Prof. Swift, who paced the floor rubbing his chin and exclaiming, “ver-r-r-ry interesting.” It is quite strange how some drugs effect the human (?) body. An extensive experiment was carried on at Med School with us as the guinea pigs and. oh my, the conclusions that were drawn. For example—sodium amytal seems to keep John Ritchie wide awake, whereas benzedrine can he used very freely to induce sleep upon Jeanne Burns. On the other hand, lactose (a very powerful med- icament) produced reddening of the ears, itchy eyes, and drowsiness in certain individuals in the class. Prof. Singer always had a hard time taking attendance in 303 on Thursday mornings, it seems that the new wing is some distance from Rope Hall, especially at 8:45 A.M. He would always automa- tically skip over Bloom’s seat because he knew, as everyone else, that in about five minutes, Irv would come stumbling in. With book in one hand. Bloom would quietly say. “Gotta pencil, Sam?” Class would then start with one of Prof. Singer's “quickies”. This year found Herb (papa) Savage trying to calm down the 100 components of our homo- geneous mixture. Howard Rich, as his able as- sistant, took the reins as “Veep.” Jerry Nelligan was elected to the post of Secretary-treasurer. (Did anyone ever find out just what was in his treas- ury?) Ann Marie Richardson took over as histor- ian. Mr. Dan Cupid shot a lot of arrows in our direction during the year, with most of the wed- dings taking place in the summer months. Some of the braver ones were Jerry Mastrianni, Lou Fiore, Bill Steckel, Ken Gustafson, Anne Keeler, and Nancy Palmer. It looked like a diamond Barryp Eileen Wallher, Claire Desparte arid Ann Marie Richardson got together to compare notes, started to realize what the future has in store for As we look back over the years, there have been many trials and errors, but as yet we haven’t really studded review in the girls’ room whenever Pattv us. Upon graduation, we will go our separate ways, but one thing will always bind us together. We were from the class of ’51, and when the going gets rough, we can still have a chuckle over the many things that happened to us during our college day's. Farewell and good luck to all.

As a student, he w'as a member of the local branch of the A.Ph.A. and was one of the brothers of Rho Pi Phi. He was usually seen delivering an earful of humor to a cert- ain fellow from Watertown. He will gladly inform all those headed for Army life just what will be required from them. CLEMENTE F. FRATTALI “Clem” Watertown, New York From the Air Force, A.C.P. was buz- zed by Clem who had as his habit at the barren tundra of northern New York. He could also tell of the com- pactness associated with trailer life. His subtle humor has been encountered on occasions by those who were sub- jected to such in classes. As a Senior he became a member of the student branch of the A.Ph.A. for ROBERT M. FOWLSTON “Bob” Oxford, Netv York Bob was one of the clan who could tell a tale about living or existing in a trailer. Being one of the quieter mem- bers of the class, he naturally was a good listener. Before attending college his records show that he was a member of the U. S.

While at A.C.P. he became a member of the A.Ph.A. Upon grad- uation there should be a future pharm- acist in this family. STANLEY R. GOLDMAN PII$ “Googy Peekskill, New York There will always be that baseball team from Brooklyn—“Those Bums”— as long as there is a Goldman. He was taken into the folds of “R.P.P.” in his freshman year, and when he became a Senior he served as Sports Chair- man. He was Basketball Manager for our “Panthers” for two years. We must not forget that he is another Army man at heart. CARMEN J. GRANIERO “Granny” Utica, New York From the Army life that he loved so well (?), Granny left his uniform be- hind to become a pharmacist. Being one of the older members of the class, he was often referred to as “Pop”. His favorite remark for a statement like that was “Wait ’til you’re my age, ’Son’ ”. Deciding that bachelor life was not for him, he took those long steps to the altar this past summer. mind; for the entmits of Uruth and those frequent trips to Utica, Granny did find the time to join the A.Ph.A. [27} KENNETH R. GRAY i AX Ken Guilderland, New York Being older and more experienced, Ken was chosen as our Freshman Class President to guide us over those first difficult spots. In this same year he was taken into Phi Delta Chi. He has also been active in the A.Ph.A. Having photography as his hobby, he took over the post of photography editor of the “Alembic Pharmakon”. Due to his service in the Army Medical Corp, Ken was one of our leading pharmacol- ogists. KENNETH LESTER GUSTAFSON “Gus” MX Newburg, New York Just about one of the most versatile fellows in our class was “Gus”. He was an active participator in all school functions, serving as Class President in his Junior Year and President of Phi Delta Chi in his Senior Year. He was a member of the Camera Club and Chess Club in his Freshman Year and the Athletic Commission was glad to have his services for the last two years. The Army had him once upon a time, but now Sue is taking good care of him. [28] EDWARD D. HENRY K'P “Ed Lowville, New York Down from the hills with his dog team and snow shoes, Ed came out of the wilderness to the metropolis of Albany to pursue the arts of the Apothecary. In his second year he was claimed by Kappa Psi, and was a charter member of the A.Ph.A. His brothers elected him Recording Secretary in his last year, and he was also a hard wmrking associate editor on the “Alem- bic Pharmakon” staff.

ROCKET DESIGNER TO RETURN Experimental Man Tracked Down in Brooklyn After Setting State in Uproar! New York (by the Dissociated Press) — The artificial man, created at the Albany College of Pharmacy last year, was tracked down and captured in the swamps of Brooklyn today after a massive and frenzied search for the evasive monster, The synthetic Homo Sapien, who has had thousands of drugs poured into him for pharmacological research at the College, tore loose from his chains three days ago and ran all the way to New York City from Albany in two hours flat, leaving behind him a trail of destruction and maimed limbs for everything and everybody un- fortunate enough to have been in his path. Pharmacy Dean James Fay could offer no plausible explanation for the escape at the present time. I.ouis Fiore, Professor of Pharm- acology, believed to be speaking under the influence of Codean Clement Frattalli, said this creating of a man was a most extraordin- ary fellow'. Said Professor Fiore, “All drugs acted directly opposite upon the mechanical man, aspirin made him burp with machine- gun rapidity and sodium bicarbonate caused him to be thrown into delerium tremens for two days after administration.” The unorthodox being, after racing through Manhatten with the speed of the wind, became lost to its hunters in the wilds of Southern Brooklyn. On the morning of the third day after the escape from the College Lab, the bewildered oddity stepped into a beartrap set by one Stanley Goldman of Sports fame. The ill- fated “body without a soul” was shackled in a cattle-car and rail- roaded back to Albany w’here the enthroned intellectuals will once again take up their desultory commissions of experiment on the poor fellow to prove the nature of atomic drugs in curing healthy people. Col. Kaye Due From Moon Soon Saratoga (Via Moonbeam)— Al- vin Kaye, noted industrialist of Saratoga Springs, is expected to return next week from his six months trip to the moon. Colonel Kaye is internationally known as the world's foremost designer of rocket ships. He has successfully completed four previous voyages to the moon and one to Mars.

Phi Delta Chi as a national pharmaceutical fraternity has grown rapidly with the ad- dition of nerv chapters as well as the reactivation of many of the old pre-war chapters. With representation in most of the Pharmacy Colleges throughout the country, its members, both alumni and students, number into the thousands. The Alpha Theta chapter at the Albany College of Pharmacy was organized in 1931 and was reactivated in 1947 after World War II had compelled it to suspend activi- ties. During the past year the chapter has been active with monthly dinner meetings, smokers, the annual Christmas Dance, and the cleaning of the Union Pharmacy and the third floor drug store (compliments of the pledges). Wc of the fraternity extend sincere congratulations to the graduating class and wish them every success in their future endeavors. Seated-. J. Fay, H. Rich, 0. Galbraith, K. Gustafson, F. Klippel, W.

Praters held positions with most of the active groups of the college including the ’’Alembic Pharmakon”, “Mortar and Pestle”, baseball team, and athletic commission, just to mention a few. We were materially and morally strengthened by a large group of pledges who became brothers in time to take part in most of the final semester events. Again our annual hayride, Campus Queen Dance, and picnic were the social highlights, and our academic activities were augmented by our informal get-togethers where we took the opportunity to become more closely acquainted with a goodly number of the faculty at A.C.P. Touch football, basketball, and softball found many enthusias- tic aspirants in our midst and a full athletics schedule was embarked upon. All in all, 1950-51 was good to Rho Pi Phi, and in the future, fraters will not only remember it for the good fellowship and comradeship, hut also for the spirit of cooperation which helped them to work and play together in harmony.

This year, the aims of the club were to have a varied program and at the same time provide a program that th beginning photographer could understand as well as participate in. Tt was most gratifying to note that the club had quite a large group of members, representing each of the four classes. The college album that was begun last year was added to and is now' well established wTith a large reservoir of pictures. The Print-Of-The-Month Contest was also carried on with great success, and many entered pictures from which winners were chosen. More keys were given out for the darkroom, which meant that many more students could benefit from it by pursuing the normal activities of de- veloping, printing, and enlarging. We club members of this year wish for the continuing success of the Cam- era Club in the years to come and also that more and more people interested in photography will become members. All students are cordially invited to join. Robert E. Thiess [72] Seated: G. Cafarelli, E. Walther, L. Joncas, Father Mea, C. Desparte, E. Mazzaconc, A. Richardson. Second Row: P. Barry, G.

[73] Alumni Association President .................... Willard Barton The annual Alumni Association dinner was held on the evening of June 8, 1950, at the Hen- drick Hudson Hotel in Troy, with an attendance of 321 making it one of the largest ever held. A cock- tail hour prior to the dinner was made possible through the courtesy of John L. Thompson and Sons, Inc. Dr. Maurice L. Tainter, Director of the Ster- ling Winthrop Research Institute, was the principal speaker. During the evening it was announced by Dr. Wardle that Dr. Tainter and Frank P. Emma, ’21 had been elected to the Board of Trustees of the College. Mr. Frederick W. Carl represented the class of 1900 and received a certificate in honor of the 50th anniversary of that class. During the year the alumni and friends have contributed $5153 to the college library fund. At the meeting during the evening the following officers were elected for 1950-1951: President .................... Willard Barton ’17 First Vice-President............Paul Sahagian ’27 Second Vice-President...........Robert Hosier ’49 Secretary ................... Russell Denegar ’43 Treasurer.................. Francis J. O’Brien ’20 Historian .................... Betty Hotaling ’44 [74] Mortar and Pestle This past year, as in previous ones, the infor- mative organ for the students of the College, the “Mortar and Pestle,” rolled off the presses for its usual six issues. Two new actions were instituted to break precedence of former publications. The first was the manner of choosing the editing staff. This was accomplished not by the Senior Class simply electing an editor and empowering him to choose his own staff, but a nominating system was inaugurated whereby those individuals de- siring specific positions on the staff were in- structed to so state. From the submitted list, the following were selected: Editor-in-chief, Mel Seated: S. Hickey, G. Nelligan, R. McLean, M. Mones, G. O’Connor, V. Manory. Second Row: D. Weinstein, I. Sallus, Mones; Associate Editors, Wallace Kahan and Ronald McLean; Staff, Gerard Nelligan, Bob West, Leo Joncas, Alfred Weinstein, Donald Weinstein, Gerard O’Connor, Harold Seitz, Leon- ard Every, and Irwin Sallus. The other new feature was in the edition itself. The four page linotype issue, usually pictureless, was replaced by a six page offset type issue fea- turing many pictures and diversified topics of in- terest which afforded more reading pleasure for the students of A.C.P. M. M. L. Joncas, A. Weinstein, II. Pomerantz, L. Every, A. Kron- man, H. Seitz. [75] A. P. H. A. The student branch of the A.Ph.A., the only organiza- tion at A.C.P. interested solely in the advancement and promotion of pharmaceutical knowledge, has completed a most successful year. At a meeting in the spring of 1950, the following officers were elected: President, Ronald Mc- I.ean; Vice-president, James Meehan; Secretary, Claire Le- one Desparte; Treasurer, Linford Snyder. Under the capable leadership of these officers and a committee headed by Joseph Polito, several interesting speakers were presented during the year. A most enlighten- ing talk on mushroom poisoning and alcoholism was given by Dr. Child, famed pharmacologist of the Albany Medical College. Miss Edith Bactowski, head pharmacist at Albany Hospital addressed the group on a very interesting topic— ‘‘The Comparison Between Hospital and Retail Pharmacy.” These speakers represented a cross-section of the many diversified topics discussed by the A.Ph.A. during the year. The chapter is greatful to the members and other inter- ested persons, without whom the organization could not function, and who combined to make the year 1950-51 one of the most successful in its history. We wish to take this opportunity to extend our best wishes and good luck to all the members of the graduating class in whatever field they may choose. Left to Right: Lynford Snyder, Claire Desparte, Ronald McLean, James Meehan, Dr. O’Brien. Student Council The Student Council is a legislative group which meets periodically to discuss and attempt to solve the questions which naturally arise during the course of the college year. As in the past, this year’s council was composed of the pres- ident and vice-president of each class. According to the custom, Herbert Savage, Senior Class President, was chosen chairman, and Edward Sausville, Junior Class President, was elected secretary. The council acted upon many important measures in- cluding the formulation of the 1950-1951 Student Activity Budget and the awarding of the class ring contract. Dean O’Brien aided the group immensely with his vast experience and wise advice. It is the sincere hope of the Student Council that the members of the class of 1951 will find a treasure of success in their professional lives and that God will bless their endeavors. Edward Sausville Seated: Edward Sausville, Herbert Savage, Dr. O’Brien, Howard Rich. Second Row: Paul Meader, David Corwin, Robert Russell, Francis Steed, Arthur Freeman. [77] Red Cross Unit The organization of a college chapter of the Red Cross at A.C.P. was conceived in the spring of 1950 and was carried to fruition at a well-attended meeting during the first semester of the current year. As set up and guided by the local Red Cross chapter, the college unit provides stu- dents with many opportunities to broaden their knowledge of community organizations, develope a sense of social re- sponsibility, and gain experience in planning and partici- pating in volunteer service activities. At present our unit confines its activities to Motor Corps service and to re- ceiving instruction in First Aid. We are represented on the Inter-collegiate Council which has been formed in Albany to foster interchange of ideas and coordinate planning of the several college units in this area. Participation in cam- pus Red Cross activities is open to all students irrespective of national Red Cross membership. First Row: E. Cohen, Prof. Singer, J. Klippel, A. Lam- Row: E. Boardman, C.

Third [78] � I i Jr. Prom The night of May 5, 1950 will be long and pleasantly remembered by those who participated in its festive mood. The occasion’s musical atmosphere was amply filled by Tommy Rhodes and His Orchestra. The DeWitt Clinton Hotel more than filled the bill for coziness. Then came its participants, a gay and jovial ensemblage, who danced and milled about to the strains of the music. Qs. the aforementioned ingredients with an ex- tra portion of happiness and you have the story of the 1950 Junior Prom. A true success in any social calendar.

The skillful guidance of Coach Isele and the combined experience of five lettermen worked into a very efficient unit which proved itself a definite credit to the col- lege. Seniors on the squad were: Captain Bob “Irish” Newhard, George “Footsie” Cafarelli, and Dick “Peppy” Peplinski. It appears that basketball is the out- standing sport of the school and will con- tinue to be enthusiastically supported by the students and alumni. [82] Bowling Seated: Ray Blake, Frank Moak, Dave Lee. Second Row: Carmine Pezzulo, Prof. Dewell, Ken Lynn. Shortly after school reopened last fall, “Bud” Mintzer and Frank Moak, the only returning veteran bowlers, were faced with the prob- lem of building a new team. After tryouts, the following mighty team was formed: Dave Lee, Don Kinney, Ken Lynn, Bud Mintzer, and Frank Moak as captain. Although the boys were ready to lick the world, their bowling didn’t show it, and much to their despair Pharmacy took a firm grip on the cellar of the Intercollegiate League. Nevertheless, they kept trying and with the addition of Carmine Pezzulo, Ray Blake, and Prof Marlow, the situation seemed brighter. At this writing we are hoping to gain third place from A.B.C., but regardless of the final outcome, the privilege of representing A.C.P. in an inter-collegiate sport has been upheld in the finest tradition. May we take this op- portunity to wish much greater success to all future keglers, and to remind them that winning is only a small part of the game when the lessons in sportsmanship and the good fellowship gained are taken into consideration. £83] Athletic Association Seated: Walter Williams, Kenneth Gustafson, Leonard Every. Second Row: James Ludlum, Marc Guy, Melvin Mones. Simultaneously with the inauguration of basketball activities, athletic programs were conscientiously planned by a group of sports-minded students selected to serve on the Athletic Commis- sion. Appointed by the Student Council, this body has as its pur- pose the assumption of responsibilities and the duty to make de- cisions on all vital matters directly related to sports. The main burden of the committee is always basketball, but their problems also include the appointment of cheerleaders, selection of speakers for banquets, and the performance of many other small but im- portant tasks so needed for the operation of an efficient collegiate program.
