“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.

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

Tom is the survivor of the occupation of Korea 1946- 1948 and lias many harrowing experiences to recount of his tour there. Ilis voice is frequently heard chanting the words of the Korean National Anthem, and a hungering look comes into his eyes as he dwells longingly upon such Korean culinary products as Kimshee” or “Go Hung”. More recently Tom has been active in such Military- Organizations of Pharmacy as the Emulsion Repair Com- pany, Rabbit Demolition Squad and the Bacteriological Warfare Department under the directorship of the re- nowned Professor Binkley.

Rocky, alias the “little mayor”, came to us from Utica, N. Y. His chief extracurricular activity has been sports, in which he has been Coach White’s right hand man in the management and scheduling of intramural games. His devotion to Phi Delta Chi has caused many fellow students to join the frat, which has benefited immeasur- ably from his diligent interest. Rocky will always be remembered as one of the most happy, jolly members of the class. He has taken a good natured ribbing about his proboscis, fondly referred to by- class members as “Pikes Peak”. We know that the combination of good traits which go to make up Rocky can only lead to success. 33
