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.

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

A native of Bridgeport, Connecticut, Dan chose A.C.P. for his formal education in Pharmacy. As far as we are concerned, this was a good move because Dan is truly a great guy. Always a pleasure to talk to, be with and work with, he has earned and kept the friendship of all with whom he has come in contact. During his four years here at the college he has been a typical hard working student. In his senior year his toils resulted in a grant by the Daw' Drug Company—this, we will all agree wholeheartedly, he richly deserved. A staunch member of Kappa Psi, he has done no little part in making the fraternity tick. Diligence and enthusiasm seem to be characteristic of Dan in all that he undertakes. Little wonder then that he has maintained his position in his years at school. Dan is one of the members of the class planning to tie the knot soon after graduation. We know that the lucky girl is really getting a man who can’t help but be successful. We certainly want to wish them all the happiness in the world. Daniel C. Carter K P “Dan Kappa Psi 1, 2, 3. 4; Athletic Commission 3; A.Ph.A. 3, 4. Alejandro Chacon “Al A.Ph.A. 4; Camera Club 4. Al could be termed as a fellow having had as interesting a background as any member of our class. Upon entering the Air Force in 1942, he attended the University of Michigan for three semesters under the Army Specialized Training Program and then was sent to the European theater of operations assigned to a Flying Fortress squadron. There his particular task was to intercept Ger- man messages, translate them and alert American bases of impend- ing attacks. After the war had ended, he was assigned the interest- ing undertaking of translating captured German documents. Upon his discharge, Al entered A.C.P. in the fall of 1947 and completed three and one-half years before being forced to leave school to enter a Veterans Administration Hospital. He remained there for two and one-half years and then returned to school to complete his Senior year in 1953. Most of us did not know Al before he had to leave and are truly happy that he decided to return, since his ready wit and intelligence has been appreciated greatly by us. 21
