 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 »

 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 »

GILBERT FUDIN “Feud” “'joe Louis” Spring Valley, N. Y. i ri i Feud was pledge Chairman of Rope the Senior year as well as Captain of their Championship Basketball team. He was also an A.Ph.A.’er. Feud played on the intramural basketball teams and entered into the ping-pong tournaments. The words which fall most easily from Feud’s tongue are “What’s trump?” CARMINE M. GIJANTO “Newtek” “Carrn” Ticonderoga, N. Y. Carm, the boy with the constant tetany of his right index finger during a pinochle game, the guy with the “Chee-bop” ex- pression when the kitty filled in that run in spades, knew more about setting an opponent than he did about inconipatabilitics. If he was told this, he would come back with, “You know it!” which sometimes seemed to be the only English he knew. Between classes and the card games “Newtc.h” found time to belong to the Newman Club and the A.Ph.A. and even played varsity basketball from ’49 through ’51. In the spring of ’52 he took the trip to Lilly and Parke-Davis, though whether he gained any knowledge of pharmacy was questionable. Say what we will about Carm, he will do alright in pharmacy, upon entering the dark, cold world beyond A.C.P. JOHN M. GOCHENAUR K+ “Goch” Waterloo, N. Y. John spent the first two years at A.C.P. studying and building up his marks so he could cut loose the last two. He joined Kappa Psi his Junior year and started to make up for lost time. As a front he joined the A.Ph.A. also. John was a non-married, non- veteran who could always be heard to say, prior to a test, “What can they ask us, that we know?” He had an ability which has confounded the faculty for four years. No matter what the test or the subject, John’s mark was always the mean. The Prof’s don’t even calculate averages any- more, they post John’s mark. John has been a member of the Newman Club since his Sophomore year. « 32 »
