 THOMAS C. DR PERNA, JR. “Tom Catskill, N. Y. Tom. one of the better students at A.C.P., won the Achieve- ment Award for having the highest average in General Chemistry and also the William Gibsin Prize for General Excellence in the Freshman year. Tom has been one of the regulars on the “Deans List.” Fie saw action in the U. S. Army in World War II. How- ever, throughout these episodes, Tom has escaped the fateful words of the preacher. Tom was a two-year member of the A.Ph.A. ANGELA M. DE THOMAS AK25 “Angie” Troy, N. Y. Angie elected to count rbe’s instead of pills. This was Bender’s gain and A.C.P.’s loss, though we saw our share of her here, par- ticularly in Physics Labs. Angie w'as Vice-President of AK2 and was a member of the Newman Club. According to Angie, her favorite sports are parlor games, field trips, and practically any- thing extra-curricular. AUSTIN H. DULIN PAX Fayetteville, N. Y. Austin was considered by many of his classmates as most likely to succeed, due to his ambition, ability, and will to work. The faculty, as they count their grey hairs, will perhaps remember Austin for other reasons. Being a true shutter-bug, Austin was a member of the Camera Club for four years, being Vice-President of the Club in his Junior year and President his Senior year. In this connection he was also Photographic Editor of the Yearbook. During his Junior and Senior years he was a member of the Mortar and Pestle Staff, and during the same period a member of the A.Ph.A. Austin was a recipient of the American Foundation of Pharmaceutical Educa- tion Award in his Soph year. The expression most suiting Austin’s nature is the following: “I will agree with no man’s opinion; I have some of my own.” « 30 »

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 »

 VICTOR FALCONE K “Vic” Utica, N. Y. Vic was without a doubt the father of the Senior class. He was married before entering college and has a bouncing boy, 10 years old. Vic was very popular in school as was indicated by his elec- tion to President of the Freshman class. He is always being called on to give some fatherly advice to the younger students of the Senior class. One of the biggest jokes of Section I and especially to Austin Dulin was how Vic always kept one w-ord ahead of Prol. Hutchin- son when he was reading his notes. JOSEPH A. FISCELLA K'l- Fish” Port Chester, N. Y. The “Fish,” a “star” varsity basketball player for 4 years, is single, but nothing lasts forever. In the four years he has been connected with A.C.P. he avoided any lasting association with a member of the opposite sex but it only took a party with Graduate Nurses in Dec. of 1952 to cause an about face of this situation. Better though if names are not mentioned. Joe has been a good steady student and has actively participated in school affairs. He was a member of Kappa Psi and the A.Ph.A. and was one of the Co-Sports Editors of the Yearbook. Of course A.C.P.’s loss is Port Chester’s and A.N.’s gain. Good luck, Joe. ALBERT FISHELMAN PIH The Fish” Mike” Newburgh, N. Y. In his Junior and Senior years, A1 came to the realization that by studying all night on the three days preceding any test, one might theoretically at least obtain fairly decent marks (95 or better). Of course this did little to improve the condition of Mike’s nerves, but smoking in the library held the remedy for this. A1 has been a member of Rho Pi Phi for four years, serving as Scribe for the organization his Senior year. He, is further a member of the A.Ph.A. A1 is planning to go on to Graduate work of some kind. What- ever the future holds for you, Al, good luck. « 31 »
