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

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. Bigelow K'k “Big” Kappa Psi I, 2, 3, 4; Regent of Kappa Psi 4; Vice-Regent of Kappa Psi 3; Athletic Commission 3. 4; Coach of J.V. Basket- ball Team 4; Interfraternity Council 4; A.Ph.A. 2. 3. 4; Delegate to Kappa Psi National Convention 4; Delegate to Kappa Psi Regional Convention 3; Student Chap- ter Red Cross 1 ; Junior Prom Committee 3; Glee Club 4. 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

A croaking horn, a shrill whistle, a squeal of brakes (???) and a cloud of dust marked the advent of Boh (Glens Falls) Brown to the curricular of A.C.P., aboard his indescribable steam breathing ‘'GO CHARIOT . Bob rapidly established himself as a comrade- in-arms and a veritable fountain of good humor and friendliness. His lore of hidden talent is climaxed by his being the sole owner of a built-in guitar in his pharynx which bursts forth in melodius strains at the slightest provocation. Rumor has it that Bob has suc- cumbed, in a manner similar to many other stout-hearted males, to the wiles of a femme fatale. It’s too late to advise him of the pitfalls in this direction, so we ll extend our best wishes for success to a true friend who’s a sure bet to go places. Robert Brown K'k “Brownie” Kappa Fsi 1, 2, 3, 4; Newman Club 1; Camera Club 1; A.Ph.A. 3, 4. Scott Brown, “The Vermont Rambler”, has probably con- tributed more to the wear and tear of the. highways between Albany and Richmond than any other citizen of Albany. This is clue to his weekly excursions to the land of “honey” and a lovely daughter and son. Scotty left a “stiff” business, in the profession of embalm- ing, to tackle the rigors of becoming a pharmacist. Upon attaining his climactic goal this June, in the form of a small sheepskin, Scotty is heading straight back to the green hills of Vermont, whose en- vironment will indubitably be enriched by the addition of his affable, enlightened personality. 19
