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

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

From that fair city of Johnstown. N. Y., came Len, a husky, determined gentleman, to conquer the trials and tribulations of the pharmaceutical world. Quite an athlete, having excelled in sports in Johnstown High School, Len continued his feats by being an important cog in the very successful college basketball squad (just ask him about the Cobleskill game of last year). A mind with a “million of ’em , which in his case was no joke, was shown by the fact that at no time were there any gloomy faces around when Len was there with his humor. A long basketball trip was not tiring at all with Len there. Len plans to go on into retail work, settle down, have a family, and live happily ever after. We all know that is just what he will do and wish the best of luck. “Little Jim , often known as 'The Phantom”, left the “valley of opportunity”, Binghamton, N. Y., to answer an irresistible call to come to A.C.P. and let the world know how things arc done in the big town. Despite his fondness for the school and the surrounding terri- tory, Jim has been piloting his chariot, “The Grey Goose”, back home every weekend for the best of reasons—a lovely wife and daughter. Extra-curricular research by Jim has definitely established that car plugs are superior to Nembutal as a somnifacient in overpower- ing the detraction of a roommate’s snoring. Jim’s only regret voiced at A.C.P. was, “They should throw in more math and calculus the first couple of years”. Upon graduation, Jim plans to return to Binghamton, where he will be a credit to his profession, we are sure. V ‘ ! « ♦ s. I » » »« I F, m m f i t m « » 1 ft w ft f ’ • ;» {« Hu f mf', ■ f' V, .
