Joseph Fuknnan I’IT r A lover of both light and grand opera, Joe is A.C.P.’s most fervent Gilbert and Sullivan fan. He can frequently be heard in the halls as lie hums the gay strains of Figaro. One of our many New Englanders, this potential Pittsfield pharmacist has done a considerable amount of research in his capacity as one of the professional editors of the Mortar Pestle. S3 joe Rho Pi Phi 1, 2, 3, 4: Rho Pi Phi Chaplain 3; A.Ph.A. 4; Professional Editor of Mortar and Pestle 4: Student Red Cross 1. Joe’s favorite subject is Bac-T. In fast, he gets so enthused that Prof. Binkley hides all the petri dishes when Joe enters the lab. Norm began his college career at A.C.P. in 1949 and at the end of his freshman year was called up in the Marine Reserve and had to interrupt his education for a year. He had previously served in the Marine Corps for two years. Upon returning, arid joining us in our sophomore year he has steadily and consistently main- tained the pace set by the other members of the class. Norm has been a popular, if slightly quiet fellow, who got along with students and faculty alike. He has been working in the pharmacy at Albany Hospital and would like to go on and do graduate work in Hospital Pharmacy. VVc all know that Norm will do well in anything he undertakes. Norm’s popularity is unquestionable, since he was elected presi- dent of our Senior class and vice-president of the Student Branch of the American Pharmaceutical Association. lie was married in 1949 and now is blessed by the pitter-patter of four little feet. Norm has two little girls, of whom he is extremely proud, and rightly so. Norman R. Gallagher Nor m” Glee Club Vice-President 3; Class Presi- dent 4; A.Ph.A. 2, 3, 4: A.Ph.A. Vice- President 4. 28

One rainy day, four years ago, all activity suddenly ceased in the halls of A.C.P. All eyes were focused on a long black touring sedan from which emerged Randy and five of his rain-soaked classmates. The “phantom phaeton”, during its lifetime, served as Iour class vehicle, packed with students on the way to bowling parties, picnics, and baseball games. While president of the Freshman Glass, Art and his first lady, Lee, were our host and hostess at class get-togethers. Now ex- officio, Art has picked up a new title during the Senior year. He’s become the class authority on the dispensing of zinc phenolsulfonate. one of the hottest sndorifirs on the market today. Arthur Freeman Pn 4 “Art” Class President 1 ; A.Ph.A. 3, 4; Rho Pi Phi 1, 2, 3, 4-: Attended University of Buffalo; Attended Rochester Institute of Technology. John Frcderiksen Camera Club 1, 2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 2, 3, 4; United States Army 1945. “Big John” can be seen most any afternoon making the long trek up Central Avenue to his home on wheels. Aside from spending considerable time in the employ of area pharmacies, most of John’s spare moments are quite pleasurably spent with his wife, Mary, and son, Mark. A Vc John has really justified his winning of a State scholar- ship by maintaining a steady spot on the Dean's List each year. Squeezed into his busy schedule, is John’s position on the editorial staff of the Mortar Pestle. His expose on tooth pastes was en- joyed by everyone but Colgate. 27

Our boy Dave may seem at home here in Albany, but in truth he’s quite the cosmopolitan. He graduated high school in Italy and spent his first year of college at the University of Rome. The linguist of the Class of ’54, he can speak seven languages. His four years here have been very busy ones, his time being occupied every minute of the day. Besides the standard curriculum, he is active in many school organizations and holds a full time outside job. Apparently all this hasn’t affected his scholastic rating as his name has appeared on the Dean’s List on several occasions. Although Dave will receive his Bachelor’s Degree in June, we understand that his bachelor days will come to an end soon after. “Zal zine mitt glick”. Dave Gewirtzman PI 14 A.Ph.A. 4; Rho Pi Phi 1, 2, 3, 4; Attended University of Rome, Italy. Irving Gewirtzman l’TI b “Irv” A.Ph.A. 4; Rho Pi Phi 1, 2, 3, 4; Ping Pong Champion of A.C.P. 3. Irving, the younger member of the “Gewirtzman D, Gewirtz- man I” brothers, currently reigns as the ping-pong champ of A.C.P. A semi-finalist in ’52 Irving captured the title in ’53 along with the Albany YMHA championship. Besides his fondness for such sports as soccer, tennis, and volleyball, “Squirtz” has a more cultured side. He has never been known to shy away from opera or classical literature. He took his elementary education in Italy, but completed high school in the United States. Like his brother he is also quite a linguist. We’re sure that no matter what language a prescription is written in, Irving will be able to fill it. 29
