FREDERIC W. COON, JR. “Dutch” Syracuse, N. Y. Dutch, who is a member of the A.Ph.A. student branch, followed his father in coming to A.C.P., and if our impression is correct will be one of the better practical pharmacists in the field. His most active sport while attending A.C.P. was cards, namely hearts and pinochle, although only for the practice. If Dutch has a favorite expression, he has kept it to himself. His greatest failing was tackling each subject as if it were a car needing a complete overhaul. JACK E. CORNELL K “Father” Canton, N. Y. The “Old Dad” served with Uncle Sam in the Air Force from ’44 to ’46. Then he came to A.C.P. to serve as Chaplain of Kappa Psi for 3 years, thus the nickname Father was evolved. Jack seems to have escaped the bonds of matrimony till now but as he’ll tell you “I’ve had some pretty close calls.” Jack has been an active member of Kappa Psi during his stay at A.C.P. He has chosen as his hobby, to collect biographies of local Innkeepers. We are all breathlessly waiting the date of publication of these biographies. ALBERT A. CURRI P4X “Little Chief” Utica, N. Y. The “Little Chief” is a papoose of “Big Chief” Mastriani, who will settle down with the Big Chief and his future wife Scavatts on their reservation in Ciens Falls. The “Little Chief” was the only student in school who could transpose 100 pages of pharmacology notes on “two pages”. He was active in school, being a member of the Newman Club, A.Ph.A., Treasurer of Phi Delta Chi Fraternity, Chairman of the Phi Delta Chi Christmas Dance and Art Editor of the Yearbook. « 28 »

CHARLES BRAVEMAN “Chuck” Albany, N. Y. Chuck’s major activity in school is bidding somebody up in pinochle. When he doesn’t make his bid he can be heard all over school calling somebody “melon head”. Chuck is a very likeable fellow and is always eager to help a fellow student. When it comes near the end of the month there is frequently heard the familiar expression, “Chuck, lend me five till the first of the month.” He is a member of the A.Ph.A. A person with a disposition as friendly and likeable as Chucks, can not help but go far in pharmacy. CHRIS S. CALENDER “Sam” Carthage, N. Y. Sam was one of the most quiet members of our class, especially so during his first three years at A.C.P. Later, however, due to the efforts of certain of his classmates, Sam was drawn more into the extra-curricular activities of college life. During his Senior year Chris was often to be found in Prof. Hanmer’s office correcting exam papers. In his Junior and Senior years he was an honor student main- taining that “B” average through long hours burning of the mid- night oil. Perhaps this accounts for Sam’s favorite expression, “All I want to do is pass, but I’ll accept a 95.” In his Senior year Chris became a member of the A.Ph.A. ALFRED J. COLLINS, JR. K “Al” Whitehall, N. Y. The streak seen flying across the campus on Friday afternoon was likely to be our boy Al rushing home to see the little woman. Al is planning to tie the knot on September 5th. Al is a four- year member of Kappa Psi, a member of the student branch of the A.Ph.A., Newman Club, and served as business manager of the Student Directory in his Junior year. Al was always on tap for a good movie or a good party. During our Senior year, Al and Nick were generally found together, providing their friends with many laughs by their downing. « 27 »

NEWELL M. DANIELS O’Toole” Hammond, N. Y. K'l' O’Toole was one of the older members of the Senior class. He served with the U. S. Army in World War II. O’Toole is married and lives in a big mansion (a trailer) on Central Avenue. He was very active in Kappa Psi and the A.Ph.A., being one of the better elbow benders. O’Toole was the most nervous card player in school, as his cigarette could be seen shaking in his mouth when he had a 400 spade hand. He was one of the best liked fellows in his class as was indi- cated by his election to the vice-presidency of the Senior class. GILBERT JOSEPH DE LUCIA, B.S. “Gil” Mechanicville, N. Y. Gil spent two years in the Army on Okinawa and in Korea, before going to Union where he got his B.S. He joined us in the Soph year. Gil has no frat affiliations; he was a member of the A.Ph.A. and was Circulation Manager of the Yearbook. The Senior year he was Class President and Chairman of the Student Council. An uncle of Gil’s graduated from A.C.P. During Easter recess of his Sophomore year Gil became a married man. NICHOLAS ALBERT DEMCHAK KT “Nick” Binghamton, N. Y. Nick was the type of guy in school who really lived it up the first two years but finally turned to a home town girl for comfort and solitude in these trying times. His sojourn in Albany was early marked with quite a few episodes with the opposite sex. Lately his life here has been quite serene and he was even able to become Regent of Kappa Psi. Yes. Nick has quieted down quite a bit, in preparation to becoming a dutiful husband following Graduation, when he will then join his father and uncle as pharmacists in his family. Nick is also a member of the A.Ph.A. « 29 »
