Carl is the last of the Bigelow brothers to graduate from A.C.P., and has upheld the family tradition to the last measure. Carl’s main extracurricular activity has always been Kappa Psi and because of his interest and hard work, he was elected Vice-Regent as a Junior and Regent in his Senior year. Living in an apartment with Bob and Dan has made Carl somewhat of a culinary expert, and the girl who becomes his wife will have to be a very good cook to suit Carl’s epicurean tastes. In his Senior year Carl took over the coaching of the Freshman basketball team and has maintained an enviable record. We feel that in not too many years Carl will be a leader in pharmacy, and may some day even take over Jack O’Brien’s position in the state legislature. Carlton A.

Mina Bishop AK2 “Minnie” Lambda Kappa Sigma I, 2, 3, 4; Chaplain of Lambda Kappa Sigma 4. One of the members of our triumvirate at Bender Lab., good old “Mina May Gal” takes all our teasing with a grin and is always there to lend a helping hand. Cheerful and kind-hearted, she hates to hurt people, but she doesn’t seem to mind venipunctures any more. As Mina would say, “The first hundred were the hardest”. At this writing, Mina is gaining experience in a hospital laboratory, learning routine and emergency procedures. Mina acted as Chap- lain of the Sorority this year, and she will long be remembered for her dramatic portrayal of “Scarface” in one of the recent Sorority Skits. During our Senior year, also, Mina was “pinned” to a cer- tain Kappa Psi member. 17

If ' tmmm Wmkm W ’ ■ :' ® ' . t • K- i fj l :;;; Gerald D. Berkowitz PTT$ Freshman Basketball: Athletic Commission I, 2, 3, 4; Rho Pi Phi 1, 2, 3, 4; Treasurer of Rho Pi Phi 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 4; Sports Kditor of Mortar and Pestle 4; Sports Editor of Ai.kmbic Piiarmakok A; Junior Prom Committee 3. Being active in so many school activities, it’s hard to say where Jerry finds all the energy. Tt s certain, however, that tire most strenuous, that of refereeing the preliminary basketball games, is where he’s made the most friends. The fact is that the ball players liked him so well they offered him a new pair of glasses. He settled for a package of “Sight Savers”. A two-year term as Treasurer of Rope seemed like a life sen- tence, quote Jerry. Wc feci this might be where he got his eye for figures. A rover during his underclass days, Jerry not only quotes from Remington but extalis the beauty of the New Jersey seashore. As a senior, Washington Avenue seems to hold more for him; of this, however, he’s not talking. • . ..O A resounding laugh, followed by a hearty thirst, first gave evidence that Big Ed” Bemhauer was in our midst. Arriving from the town of the “Square Deal”, Ed quickly set up campaign head- quarters at the “Fountain”, and launched singlchandedly a power- ful experiment destined, over the course of four years, to reckon with Newton’s famous law. The essence of this was, “What goes down, must come up”. Having finally seen the error of his ways, Ed proceeded to show his pious side by becoming the chaplain of his fraternity and astounding those present with his before-meal invocations. Having achieved the enviable goal of president of the Student Branch of the American Pharmaceutical Association, Ed’s college life draws to a close, bringing with it many a reminder of boisterous, rollicking nights and the inevitable sad, dejected mornings. Despite the “President’s” extra-curricular activities, his schol- astic record stands as a shining monument to many hours of tedious study, and should act as a beacon to all underclassmen who aspire to the “President’s” position in the Glass of ’54.

Nicholas James Booras “Nick” United States Navy 1945; Camera Club 3, 4; Pharmacy Arithmetic Award 1; A.Ph.A. 3, 4. Nick is often referred to as the “Phantom” due to the numer- ous uncontrollable and furtive inscriptions which have been tendered by his pen to uncountable notebooks and texts. It is rumored that lie nostalgically relinquished command of his battle- ship (6 oars) after three years of naval duty, to encompass the activities of a pharmacy student. His sights were surely set in the right direction, for Nick has been a top student throughout his four year sojourn at A.C.P. Tt is coincident that the name of Nicholas is derived from the Greek—“Victory of the People”—for it will surely be a victory for the community that obtains Nick’s talented services. Rain, shine, or sleet a familiar ’48 Chevvy can be seen every morning speeding along the Albany-Troy road. Behind the wheel is Jack, desperately trying to make an 8:45, only to find some one else has taken his spote in the school parking lot. (Of this, gentle- men, the faculty does not approve.) Jack is a rapid, non-partisan baseball fan. (Prof. DeNuzzo will attest to this.) In fact just the other day he said that the Yanks might even be extended to five games in this year’s World Series. Say, Jack, are you still trying to slip Prof. Denegar that loaded cigar? Jack L. Brand Pn f A.Ph.A. 4; Rho Pi Phi 4. 18
