Morris H. Klein A.Ph.A. 2, 3, 4. A native of Hunter, N. V., Morris came to A.C.P. via a circuitous route. Upon graduation from high school, he matriculated at Cornell University where he received his B.A. degree in Zoology and Chemistry. Uncle Sam took care of his future for the next three years. During this time. Morris saw a great deal of the South Pacific as a member of the Army Signal Corps. He entered A.C.P. as a sophomore. In spite of tin time consumed in operating his theater, he maintained a con- stant place on the Dean s List. As a graduation present, his wife plans to present him with a third member of the Klein household. Upon graduation. Mo's ambition is to combine his pharmacy and theater experience and open a chain of Drive-In Drug Stores. From the huge metropolis of Jeffersonville came Bob, who quickly became known as the New York Giants most loyal rooter. His happiest moments were spent collecting his bets as the Giants won the pennant. Bob will be remembered as one of the best natured mem- bers of the class. The combination of his scholastic ability, friendliness, winning sense of humor and willingness to help others have earned him a place of esteem among his classmates. In his senior year he was frequently seen at 145 South Lake Avenue where it is rumored he has his own private secretary. As Bob's activities as a pharmacy student and book- maker comes to a close, he is looking forward to a career in the medical profession. Robert E.

“Hesh” is one of the best liked students of the Senior class. Along with his wonderful, easy-going personality, he has an equal amount of scholastic aptitude. He will never forget the day that two fellow students threw a reagent bottle full of suliuric acid over him. His famous words were: “Ah, Gee,—Henry and Rock, leave me alone—I’m so tired!” Harold could frequently be seen wondering around the Bacteriology Lab telling his co-workers to “do some work” as he settled down in a chair. “Hesh” is awaiting the day when he can journey to Utica and visit the Twin Ponds Golf and Country Club where he will be able to see the two famous ponds in the middle of the dance floor. Harold Kessler PIM “Hesh” A.Ph.A. 1, 2. 3, 4; Rho Pi Phi 4; Circulating Editor of Mortar and Pestle 3; Junior Prom Committee. Joanne Ketzcr “Jo” Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4. M Joanne may be aptly described as bubbling. Her charm and good nature are disarming to everyone she meets. Formerly, she was in pursuit of a career in Pharmacy, but was transferred to Medical Technology in order to study the technique of venipuncture more fully. On certain evenings during the week she may be lound at Phillip Schuyler where she is studying Italian; her reasons as yet remain undisclosed. ' Among her hobbies are cooking, both classical and modern records, knitting and collecting friends, of which she has a vast number. Her talent as a comedian is also well known to all. She has been known to say of a certain quarterly examination: “The only thing that it could be good for is to punch holes in and play on a player piano.” As yet she is not decided as to her future employment but she seems to favor hospital work. We would like to wish good luck to Joanne, whose friendly personality will be missed by everyone in the class and at Bender. 29

“Sal” came to A.(IP. from Fulton, N. Y. by way of St. John’s University. He never ran into scholastic diffi- culty at Pharmacy, mainly because of his magic formula: “1 can do better when I’m pressed for time.” He proved his point by winning the Kappa Psi key for his scholar- ship during the Sophomore year. Tie will best be remembered for his sincerity and joviality with his friends and classmates. In the Junior year. “Sal” cut the revenue of the Post Office Department drastically by marrying the “girl from hack home”—his one and only, “Barb”. Whatever the future holds for him, “Sal” will be sure to take it in stride and come out on top.

Never one to let his studies interfere with his extracurricular activities, he immediately joined most of the organizations in the school. Since he is interested in sports, “Sandy handled tlle write-ups of the basketball games to which he would point with pride as they appeared in the Albany newspapers. In spite of his outside interests, he kept up with his classmates scholastically with the aid of several thousand Dexedrine tablets and a remarkable ability to “cram” before exams. After graduation, “Sandy” intends to put Kay’s Drugs on a national basis with the help of his recently innovated product “Filtered White Lotion”. 31
