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, .

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

“Big Jim” Harrington, of previous Air Force fame, made a rousing entrance through the portals of A.C.P., thanks to the clamorous character of his fire spewing internal combustion chariot, “The Gray Gremlin”, the mechanical wonder of the machine age. Big Jim has parlayed a typically affable and volatile Irish temperament, cultivated amidst the sunshine and grapes of Dun- kirk, N. Y., into four years of fun, frolic and frantic study such as is seldom witnessed by mortals. Ilis roving and talented character has ventured forth in many directions during the course of four years such as: “Mother Harrington’s Beanery”, Flight Officer on one of Montgomery Ward’s fleet elevators. Accounting Advisor to some of A.B.C.’s best, and Author of “A Biography of Albany’s Bartenders”. Dunkirk holds an undeniable attraction for Jim upon graduation in the form of his lovely wife, Mary.

Y., came Herb, a quiet, very likeable fel- low' destined to become a pharmacist. Herb, besides being a good student, lias had his hand in many activities in school but his num- ber one task which gave him his best times was the intramural bas- ketball league. He did much to get the league started and was one of the big reasons it was so successful the past few years. Herbert Heitniuller “Herb Herb plans to become engaged this summer. No date has been set for the big day, but it won’t be very far away. A.Ph.A. 3, 4; Sports Editor of Alembic Pharmakon; J.V.

This he plans to do in his home town of Cornwall. To such a swell guy as Herb, wishes for the best come easily and sincerely. 31
