Marilyn is a native: Albanian and lias chosen Medical Technology for her career. She proved to be an excellent student during her four years here at A.C.P., and fre- quently appeared on the Dean’s List. As a member of Lambda Kappa Sigma she was active in many of its func- tions and no sorority member can forget her portrayal of an Italian organ grinder in a skit last year. Since a smile is her constant companion, she rapidly transmits her gaiety to all around her. We hope that cheerfulness will continue to follow her in her profession. Marilyn R. Dclehanty AK2 Newman Club 1, 2. 3, 4; Lambda Kappa Sigma L 2, 3, 4. Elizabeth A. Drabic AKS “Betty”, “Liz” Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Lambda Kappa Sigma 1, 2« 3, 4; Freshman-Sophomore Dance Reception Committee 2. An active member of Lambda Kappa Sigma and the Newman Club, Hetty is another technician who has come to us from Hudson. We will remember her not only as a classmate but a friend for she is always ready to help us with a constructive suggestion. She is another senior whose name has appeared on the Dean's List. A great interest in classical music, a phe- nomenal ability to memorize, good humor and friendli- ness are only a few of the traits that typify her. A favorite past time of hers is chatting over a cup of coffee in the Morris Diner or Sol’s. To the senior technicians, Betty will always be remembered as “professional”. The qualities of sincerity, honesty and capability have made her well liked at both Bender Laboratory and at Pharmacy College and will continue to do so in the future. 21

Every morning five minutes after the first elass has begun, a eream colored Ford can he seen speeding into the parking lot and coming to an abrupt stop. Emerging from this auto to make his daily appearance at A.C.P. is Sammy wearing pegged pants and a two day growth of beard. When away from the toils of school work, Sammy can be found on the nearest tennis court or more likely on the outskirts of Schenectady doing some hunting with one of his many guns. The big question of his hunting ability is did he capture or was he captured by his lovely wife, Lee? As for the future, there can be nothing but happiness in store for Sam and Lee. . . . Good luck to a perfect couple! Phi Delta Chi 2, 3, 4, Treasurer 4. The halls of A.C.P. will miss this great martyr in the fight for bigger and better pinochle games. He has done much in the field of scientific achievement to further the progress and technicalities of the game. His latest con- tribution was a compact, light-weight combination card shuffler and score keeper (patent applied for to the U. S. Government). Larry has been a leader in our school’s extra-curricular activities. As president of the Camera Club, member of the Inter-Fraternity Council and scribe of Rho Pi Phi, he has tirelessly and unselfishly devoted himself to their progress and advancement. In Larry, the profession of pharmacy is taking into its ranks a very worthy man, Lawrence Crown PIM “Larry” Rho Pi Phi 1, 2, 3, 4; Camera Club 2, 3, 4 ; A.Ph.A.; Athletic Commission 4; Mortar and Pestle 4. 20

Aldo A. Ercolano K'V “Al” Kappa Psi 2, .'5, 4; Senior Class Vice-President; Stu- dent Council 4; A.Ph.A. 4; Newman Club 4. “What a rotten book.” How can the class of ’55 ever forget this statement. Many times these famous words have been uttered by our graduate of Saint Bonaventure’s. During these three years in Albany, “Al” has been mov- ing in a triangle. At one point of the triangle are the hallowed halls of A.C.P., at the second is the Colvin Pharmacy and at the third (last but surely not in the least) is the World’s Fair Restaurant. Together with his wife Toni, Aldo has resided at Uni- versity Heights for four long years. You can be sure that here is one boy who will heed Dean O’Brien’s advice to “go west” (Rochester). You never can tell how things will turn out. Don’t be too surprised if some day you read the headlines “Ercolano wins National Open!” Charley hails from Troy, New York, where he attended La Salle Institute. He left his football career behind him choosing instead a position on our yearly class softball team. While at school Chuck spent much research on the use of mailboxes as pillows, usually in snow up to his knees. He also devoted a great deal of time keeping the chrome on his car in tip-top condition. Charley has now committed himself to a great dietary sacrifice by not having dessert for lunch every Wednesday. After leaving school Charley plans to work for his favorite uncle in New Jersey, the Fort Dix Drug Company, and then become a field representative of the outfit. Charles A.
