 After he graduates, the main ambition of “Inguant,” a very quiet, reserved fellow, is to be dean of A.G.P. and teach Pharmaceutical Economics—excluding the Co- Insurance Clause because that is “for the birds' . Before coming to Albany College of Pharmacy, “In- guant” spent four years at the University of Connecticut. Carmello’s favorite sport is tennis. He is one of the better scholars of his class as his marks after four years prove. His brother, Louie, graduated from A.C.P. last year and after graduation Carmello plans to join him in Connecticut. Carmelo C. Inguanti “Inguant” “Sherm”, who arrived here from Johnson City, N. Y. in September, 1951, will probably be most remembered for his many wise and witty remarks. After two years at Harper College, his intentions were diverted to pharmacy, which he subsequently took up at A.C.P. During his four years at Pharmacy, he has acquired not only a knowledge of pharmacy but also a very large handi- cap on the golf course. He most certainly has the lasting friendship of all his classmates who will miss his numerous “jokes”. Sherman H.

Bill, who is a native of Binghamton, X. Y., well rep- resents the “valley of opportunity” at A.C.P. Not many weekends had passed before Bill seriously considered the idea of installing an auto-pilot in the Dodge to make the trip home and back. Having quickly mastered the tech- nique of the Grain stain, Bill had no trouble following the trail of the potato slant and petri plate. His main interests are semi-c.lassical and band music. Bill lias maintained an enthusiastic attitude toward the profession, and will certainly be a welcome addition to the ranks of professional pharmacy. Despite his fondness for the school and the many friends which he has made, he is eager to return home and join his father who operates a pharmacy. In the years to come, Bill will be long remembered lor his jovial and easy going disposition. Chuck, a native of Troy, X. Y., has two distinguishing characteristics which have spread his fame throughout the campus—an overpowering voice and an overheating Oldsmobile. Both his car and pocketbook are always open to all and this attribute has gained him immense popu- larity with his friends. As the business editor of the yearbook, “Charcoal” came through with a remarkable job. However, his vocal endeavors in the field of music are not quite as remark- able, as those who made the trip to Indianapolis will attest. Chuck’s chief aim in life was to see Morry Abramson score 20 points for Pharmacy and to find a person with a larger appetite than Morty Shapiro’s. We are sure that Chuck will be remembered by all as an intellectual fellow who was always fun to be with and a true asset to the pharmacy profession. Charles R.

George E. Jones K4' Kappa Psi 1, 2. 3, 4, Regent 4; Inter-Fraternity Council 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 2, 3, 4. The “Kingfish graduated from Skaneateles High School in 1946. After spending a two year “vacation” in the Army as a Signal Gorpsman, George entered A.C.P. in the fall of 1949. The “Kingfish” had no sooner begun his Sophomore year when he was called hack into the Signal Corps (someone had gotten the signals crossed!). Un- daunted, George returned to A.C.P. in 1952 and became a member of the now very much depleted class of '55. In the spring of 1953, the “Kingfish” was selected to serve as Vice-Regent of Kappa Psi, and, upon becoming a Senior, he was elevated to the office of Regent. As a Senior, George founded “The Mystic Knights of the Sea ; he appointed Sherm (20,000 Leagues) Ives and Chuck (Capt. Nemo) Ettie as chief harpoonists. When questioned as to his future plans, George said he intends to retire at the age of 30 -a plump millionaire. During the Freshman year, Earl's cry of “Let's go to the movies this afternoon” made him extremely popular, especially during exam week. This popularity extended to the Sophomore year when he was quickly elected to the Presidency. TIis third year was his most outstanding. Among his many firsts are; founding of the official A.C.P. Booster Club, first and last man to work his way to Eli Lilly and home again, first Pharmacognosy student to do home- work (his cactus plant was admired by all, even though few touched it because of the deep scratches it could in- flict on the unwary), first bookkeeping student to do foui- weeks work in one week-end- -four weeks in advance that is and finally, first Kappa Psi brother in history to arrange three picnics and not forget one single item. “Cactus Pete” is a man who has accomplished much in the past and from whom much is anticipated in the future. 28 Kappa Psi 1, 2, 3, 4; Sophomore Class President; Student Directory 3; A.Ph.A. 3, 4.
