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

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

William J. Calitri, B.S. TCP “Bill” Graduate of University of Rochester 1951 ; Kappa Fsi 2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 2, 3, 4. liill came to us during our Sophomore year and we’ll be talking about the impact with which he landed for many a year. He had graduated from the University of Rochester as a pre-dental major the previous June and was unable to attend dental school due to injuries received during World War II. Because of the war his higher education was belated until 1947 when he entered the U. of R., as he prefers to call it. None of us is sorry that Bill decided to attend A.C.P. because his humor and sincere friendship are true prizes. lie always manages to say something or do something that will serve to keep him in our memory long after graduation. Bill also lacked little to be desired as a student. In September of 1951 Bill took a deep breath and took that long walk down the aisle and came to us with his bride. Ann, who has helped him immeasurably during his years at A.C.P. Little Kathleen, who was born in February. 1953. is perhaps Bill’s greatest pride, and justifiably so. Good things always happen to good guys! Underneath his ever present smile and easy going disposition is a desire to make good. Bill, you can’t miss! John Caputo, or Monkeyman”, must be designated, without a doubt, as the most humorous, effervescent personality in our select group of “Bon Vivants”. Hailing from Watcrbury, Connecticut, John has distinguished himself by his perseverance in study, and his accomplishments in fraternal and extracurricular activities. He has established many friends among both faculty and student body through his sempi- ternal joviality and ready wit as well as Iris famous “Monkey Call”. Rumor has it that John will be “swinging” down the aisle shortly after graduation. If so. he can be sure that the good wishes of all his friends for wedded bliss will be “chattering” after him.
