Leon when he started to look for a college did not have very far to look. A native Albanian he will assist his father in the well known Cheris Pharmacy” down on State Street. “Lee”, who has been active in the A.Ph.A. since his first year, has a reputation for wielding a mean pen. He has done the art editing for the school paper, The Mortar and Pestle as well as the year book for the last several years. We shall miss his ready wit and the preface of his jokes, “Say fellows have you heard this one----” Leon Cheris Albany, N. Y. Alembic Pharmakon Art Editor 3, 4; Mortar Pestle Art Editor 3, 4; Humor Editor 4; A.Ph.A. 4. Lawrence Crown Syracuse, N. Y. Rho Pi Phi; Camera Club; A.Ph.A.; Mortar Pestle; Athletic Commission; Interfraternity Council. Larry spent his final year at A.C.P. commuting from Schenectady, where his attractive wife Soni taught Junior High. Larry joined Rho Pi Phi in his freshman year and was one of its most active members in many ways. Now that he has settled down to married life and become a leader in the local “Howdy Doody Club”, he has become the dominating husband, doing the dishes and sweeping the floor, even without orders from his wife. All who know Larry arc sure his friendliness and ready smile will take him far on the road to success. 14

 Elaine Cecilia Brown Albany, N. Y. Lambda Kappa Sigma 1, 2, 3, 4, Vice-President 3; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Secretary-Treasurer 2; Glee Club 2; Class Vice-President 1; Student Council Secretary 1. A.C.P. seemed to be the natural place for Elaine to get her degree in Medical Technology since she only lived a few doors away. Her great personality and popularity can never be doubted just lake a gander at her many accomplishments: Campus Queen Court 1, 2; Newman Club Secretary-Treasurer 2, Vice-President 3; Lambda Kappa Sigma Vice-President 3; Class Vice- President 1; and Student Council Secretary 1. Elaine likes the name of Brown so much that, come fall, she’s going to change the Miss to Mrs. One thing is for sure, she’ll never forget how to spell it! Elaine is bound to be a success, whether it be washing diapers or cleaning test tubes at Bender Lab. “Ruthie” is another of our “Med. Tech’s” who lives right here in the lovely city of Albany. On the first day of school, after reading the freshman roster, we believed we would have twins as classmates— two Browns”—we were soon set straight. However, these two girls have much in common. Like her friend, Elaine, Ruthie is a Medical Technologist and is con- sidering marriage. Evidently, she came to A.C.P. to get her “Mrs” degree, too. Ruthie will always be remembered for her huge pack- ages of goodies that were Navy-bound and for her mas- tery of the needlework art. Did you ever see such “crazy” socks? Ruth Brown Albany, N. Y. 13

■ Alfred A. Dequire, Jr. Troy, N. Y. Kappa P.si 1, 2. 3. 4; A.Ph.A. 4; Newman 3, 4; Senior Vice-President; Intramural Softball 3, 4; Alembic Pharmako.n Business Manager. Between daily (and sometimes nightly) excursions from Troy, Fred could be found in the men’s lounge, carefully proving that college life is anything but dull, with the aid of his two “bon-ami”, Desrocher and Brier- ton. His skill at the dart board and various games of cards soon became apparent to those who know him, and his ready wit and laughter were constantly on call during some of the more trying days. Active in many organizations, such as the A.Ph.A., the Newman Club, and Kappa Psi throughout his college career, it was small wonder that he was elected Vice- President of the Senior Class and Assistant Business Editor of our yearbook. We all are sure that Fred’s future will be a successful one and that he will certainly be well-remembered by us. The suave treasurer of Kappa Psi Fraternity came to us from the “North Country”, Plattsburgh, N. Y. Roy spent a very busy four years at A.C.P. Fie was active in a number of the organizations available at the school including: the Newman Club, Intrafraternity Council, and the A.Ph.A. Besides his multiple extracurricular activities Roy found time to concentrate on his scholastic studies to a point where he was on the Dean's List for three out of four years. After his graduation Roy expects to return to the North and “among Qther things” plans to practice retail pharmacy. Roy C. Desrocher Plattsburgh, N. Y.
