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 »

 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 »

REMO C. GRECO, B.S. “Ray” Utica, N. Y, Ray, a fine student who also has a passion for cards, married after entering school, and of this he said, “It was a far, far better thing I did, than I have ever done before.” We often wonder if his wife could stand those cigars, wc couldn’t. Before entering A.C.P. and the trials of marriage, he served in the U. S. Navy and after discharge entered Union University where he earned a B.S. degree. He had been fortunate in having a State War Scholarship, and an American Foundation of Pharma- ceutical Education Scholarship over and above his GI education to see him through his educational endeavors. Pharmacy has been good to him, as we arc sure “Grec” will be good for pharmacy. JAMES HAGUES “Jim” Utica, N. Y. Jim was another of the more quiet members of the Senior class, being unlike his brother who was a Freshman this year of ’52 to ’53. Jim has an uncle in the profession, so it may be said pharmacy runs in the Hagues family. When it carnc a Friday afternoon, a trail of smoke could be seen in Jim’s wake as he scurried about in haste to return to Utica, this haste of course being due to a “girl back home”. While in school Jim has been a mem- ber of the A.Ph.A. and a steady student. Jim and Bob promise to be another of the many successful brother teams in pharmacy. SHELDON JAY HERMAN PM “Shel” Elmira, N. Y. Serving as a devout member of the ring committee, Sheldon has been in and out of activities throughout his college career. The Mortar and Pestle has benefited greatly by the services of Shel as Feature Editor, a position filled with extraordinary capa- bilities. An ardent member of the A.Ph.A., professional ideals have always been foremost in his consideration. The trip to and from the Southern Tier have resulted in many mornings with dilated pupils on Shelly. Sheldon was also Scribe of Rho Pi Phi, and a member with many pleasant memories of the Junior Trip. For four years Shel has maintained an alternate residence at the New York Assembly assisting the operations of government. « 33 »
