“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

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, .

Donald L. Herzig K'P “Don” Kappa Psi 1, 2, 3. 4; A.Ph.A. 2, 3, 4. Don graduated from Lowville Academy, where he was an honor student and received the RPI Award for General Excellence in Mathematics and Science. Coming to our noted college, he received a State Scholarship for his last three years here. It is no surprise, then, that he should negotiate the hairpin curves of this course in pharmacy with apparent ease. This is attested to by the fact that he made the Dean’s List on several occasions. Don is one who goes home every weekend, test or no test. They don’t seem to be able to dent the outer composure which is so strongly characteristic of him. His weekends are spent enjoying his favorite sports which are skiing, and skating, not studying. Don’s friends must see double when he does go home, not because of faulty vision, but because he has a twin brother who is a double made to order. He will probably enter the retail field after graduation, but his plans are not definite. No matter though, Don will be a success however he decides to spend his life. Anthony, better known as Tony or “Hick”, ventured from Kingston, N. Y., to be molded into a fine pharmacist. That mold- ing process has not been much of a task as Tony has been very sincere in his studies and one of the best liked members of the class. Willing to pitch in and take a part in any task, Tony could always be counted on to do a job and do it well. One of the more active members of the class in athletics, Tony was a big reason Pharmacy was able to display such a fine basket- ball squad during the last few seasons. Also, when it comes to ping- pong there are few who can outplay him. Retail work seems to be the immediate goal in Tony’s future; that is, as with most of the class, unless dear old Uncle Sam has other ideas. Whatever happens, we know Tony will be a success in what- ever he undertakes. The best of everything to you, Tony.
