Albany College of Pharmacy - Alembic Yearbook (Albany, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 134 of the 1959 volume:

]Or. Matthew Verderatne The class of nineteen hundred and fifty-nine wishes to express the gratitude and appreciation felt toward its beloved teacher and friend. We hope that Dr. Matthew Verderame will accept this, the dedication of our yearbook, as the highest and most honored award that we, as a graduating class, are able to bestow upon the person we hold in highest esteem. “Doc” Verderame has always made his knowledge, advice, and time available to us. He has inspired and aided many of us to strive for greater achievements. Through his efforts, we have learned to evaluate our observations in an intelligent manner and to arrive at a conclusion without seeking outside assistance. This was the expressed purpose throughout our formal course of study, and we believe that he has successfully carried out this aim. We consider ourselves fortunate indeed to have had the oppor- tunity of being associated with this truly outstanding gentleman. We hope that Professor Verderame will have many more healthy and happy years with his family, his future students, and with his research projects about which we expectantly look forward to reading in the near future.

A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Kappa Psi 2, 3, 4; A.C.S. 4; Dean's List 1, 2, 3, 4. Bill, a resident of the Capital district, did not have to look far to find his college. He was not long in proving himself as he promptly became one of the best students in our class. Bill has not only attained marks that are the envy of many, but has also found time to work several hours each week at pharmacies in Latham and Albany, as well as devoting many hours as an ardent photography enthusiast. If Bill’s plans aren’t yet determined by Uncle Sam, work in retail pharmacy is planned. When Tony wasn’t discussing the merits of the jet-propelled Chevy Corvette, he could usually be found pursuing one of his most noteworthy achievements, surpassing Shindler in the culinary art of preparing a spaghetti dinner. Tony’s majestic voice could always be heard at one of the Glee Club concerts or in cheering for A.C.P. at one of our basketball games. It was certainly known that Tony would be present to lend his full support to our college, as well as those infamous “get-togethers” at the Kenmore. June and graduation will see Tony returning to his fair city to practice retail pharmacy. Anthony F. Andreone Utica, N. Y. Kappa Psi 1, 2, 3, 4; S.C.A. 1, 2, 3. 4; Glee Club 4; Mortar Pestle 4; Alembic Piiarmakon Staff 4. 20 Jack of all trades and master of them all, Neil has proven his ability as the Alembic Pharmakon photography editor. It was a familar site to see him rushing around the halls, taking all sorts of photos, with Joel helping him out. Neil keeps all of his darkroom equipment in his bathtub. Doesn’t this bring to mind a certain question? Neil and his wife, Mary Lou, are expecting a bundle of joy on graduation day. What could be a nicer gift? The Andrews’ will make their home in Chicago, where Neil will be associated with the Walgreen Co. Neil Andrews Syracuse, N. Y. A.Ph.A. 4; Aijembtc Pharmakon Photography Editor 4; Dean’s List I. Bob, a good student who takes a keen interest in his work, has been known to ask several questions in lectures, making- sure he has all the pertinent facts. One of Bob’s hobbies is photography, which he has used as a sideline to help pay his way through college. Also, Bob has often enlightened us with the aspects of chess. Upon receiving his degree, Bob plans to embark upon post- graduate work. Bill, a member of the silent service of the class, served with the U. S. Army in Austria before embarking upon his career in pharmacy. In his Sophomore year, Bill departed from the “Gay Gang” of 94 Grove, as well as from his bachelor status, and took his charming wife, Barbara, to the altar. In the winter months, he could be found in the cafeteria discussing his favorite pastime, skiing. Bill, like most of the class, plans to enter the retail pharmacy field, taking with him experience gained while employed at Blanches’ Pharmacy in Colonie. William J. Boulette Hudson Falls, N. Y. A.Ph.A. 3, 4. Dick, one of the many proud fathers of our class, did not have to look beyond his home town for a spouse, as his wife, the former Diane Goundry, also hails from the triple cities area. The Browns have a lovely daughter, Susan Miclele, and the pitter patter of little feet is again expected soon. Not long in making his scholastic impression, Dick managed to join the Dean’s list in the difficult Sophomore year. Hospital pharmacy, in which he has gained much experience by working at St. Peter’s Hospital here in Albany, seems to be Dick’s first choice after graduation. Richard G. Brown Binghamton, N. Y. A.Ph.A. 3, 4; Dean’s List 2. 22 Robert V. Bull, B. S. Syracuse, N. Y. A.Ph.A. 2, 3, 4; Newman Club Secretary 2. Before coming to A.C.P., Bob obtained a B.S. degree in Biology from LeMoyne College and served as a laboratory tech- nician for the Army at Valley Forge Army Hospital in Phoen- ixville, Pennsylvania. Bob and his wife, the former Martha Doyle of Syracuse, are blessed with the good fortune of having two lovely daughters, Terry and Susan. While in Albany, he has spent his spare time at St. Peter’s Hospital, utilizing his laboratory technician talents. His well rounded background has made Bob an authority on subjects not in the pharmacy curriculum. Bob plans to enter the retail field at Syracuse. Milt is one of the fortunates -who did not have to scout round for a room while at A.C.P., his home being right here n Albany. Quiet and sincere, Milt is an Army veteran, having served oost of his time for Uncle Sam way over in France. Milt’s hobbies, which favor the outdoor life, include the geat sports of swimming, ice skating, skiing and “hole in one” ;olf. Foremost in Milt’s plans for the future is entering the retail ield of pharmacy. 23 Milton J. Burns Albany, N. Y. Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 3, 4. Walter Edward Byrne Troy, N. Y. Kapa Psi 3, 4: Newman Club 1,2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4. Walt acquired the nickname of “Rock” shortly alter his arrival at Pharmacy, and there is little doubt at the reason for this. Walt could usually be found with O’Neill and Palladino, the other two members of the “Big Three” from Troy, dis- cussing the latest road conditions. Certainly known as one of the hardest workers in our class, Walt could always be located during lunch period in a spare classroom getting in a little extra studying time. “The” day for Walt will be June 27, when he plans to take marriage vows with Gail Hunter. A bundle of energy, this Med. Tech, student devoted much of her time to cheer the Panthers on to successive victories. Her Junior year, in which she ranked as co-captain of the squad, saw Kerry stimulate a “go-team-go” attitude at A.C.P. games which carried the team to an almost-perfect season. A cloud of exhaust fumes or a cautious pedestrian was a tell- tale sign of “Ker” and her Ford convert with the famous KC-15 license plate. Before settling down to a work schedule in the field of path- ology, Kerry plans on seeing a bit of the other side of the globe. Kerry Campion Albany, N, Y. Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Secretary 3; Cheerleader 2, 3, 4, Co-Captain 3; Lambda Kappa Sigma 2, 3, 4. The “Virtuoso” of A.C.P., Bob worked diligently for the establishment of our now highly successful Glee Club. The iristmas assembly will long be remembered by all music rers. Bob's other claim to stardom is that of being the editor of e Mortar and Pestle. His timely editorials proved both en- jhtening and entertaining. Being very active in many extra-curricular endeavors, Bob 11 always be remembered for the fine job of acting he did the Kenmore in the Senior production. Graduate work in pharmacology is the main ingredient in )b’s future plans. Robert Donald Casler Syracuse, N. Y. Camera Club 1; A.Ph.A. 1,2, 3, 4; Kappa Psi 3, 4; S.C.A. 2, 3, 4, Vice-President 4; Mortar Pestle 3, 4, Editor 4; Glee Club 4, Alembic Pttarmakon Staff 4; Dean’s List 1, 2. John A. Cherry Horseheads, IN. Y. Kappa Psi 2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; S.C.A. 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 4; Dean’s List 3. Jack ranks high in the class scholastically and socially, and his work with the Glee Club deserves much praise. A veteran of the Army Signal Corps, he has served in Cali- fornia and Japan. Following his discharge, Jack took Joyce to the altar, marking the “fin” of his bachelor days. In the senior year, he was instrumental in the formation of our Glee Club. Jack especially enjoys playing the piano and did a fine job as Glee Club accompanist. His ability was dis- played in the Christmas assembly. Also in the senior year, he served as pharmacology lab. assistant, and will always be remembered for his “little red pencil.” Jack’s future plans have not been definitely decided. 25 The fact that “Ches” came from the Bay State was a distinc- tion in itself, especially in a school composed mainly of New York Staters. Danny was further distinguished by the acquisi- tion of his blue Jaguar in his Junior year. Each weekend in the Spring and Fall, when a road race was on, Danny would bomb out for Lime Rock, Watkins Glen, or some place to lend a hand officiating. Will we ever forget the roar of that “blue bomb” as Ches barreled out of the parking lot? For the future, Danny is thinking about a career in medi- cine, following family tradition. Daniel Joseph Chesanow Great Barrington, Mass. A.Ph.A. 3, 4; Rho Pi Phi 2, 3, 4. Curtis E. Childs Wellsville, N. Y. A.Ph.A. 3, 4; Glee Club 4. “Curt” flew over to A.C.P. by way of Wellsville, N. Y. and the U. S. Air Force, to join us the hard way, as a freshman. One of the quieter colleagues of the class of ’59, Curt was a charter member of the clan of veterans in our midst. He will be remembered as a good student and a really sin- cere guy, who lent his booming bass to our fondling glee club in the senior year. When armed with his sheepskin in June, Curt will leave the teeming metropolis to commence practicing in retail pharmacy. Carl Chin New York City, N. Y. Phi Delta Chi 1, 2, 3, 4, President 4; Interfraternity Council 4; Class Vice-President 1; Student Council 1; A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3. 4; Dean’s List I. We will always be indebted to “Chockie” for trying to teach the squares a little about “avant garde” life in the big city. The cool sounds of Manhattan must be difficult to resist as Carl headed south on many occasions. A valuable asset to every organization he belonged to, Carl was always readv, willing, and able to tell the merits of Phi Delt. A man of many varied avocations, Carl’s interests included skiing as number one, but now encompasses a very charming young lady whom he has recently pinned. Whenever Carl holds the grand opening of the “Chin Phar- macy,” we’re all invited. A quiet guy with an amiable smile, A1 entered Pharmacy rom that thriving little metropolis near the Pennsylvania order. A member of the “I’m a bachelor and I like it club,” A1 pends his spare time in school involved in a thrilling game of :ards. After classes, any spare moments arc spent hitting those looks, as long as they didn’t hit back, that is. That good things come in small packages is characteristic of 1, but he isn’t going to gift wrap himself for any member of he opposite sex. A1 will smile his way into retail pharmacy. Alan J. Clark Waverly, N. Y. Kappa Psi 1, 2, 3, 4; S.C.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Dean’s List 1. 27 John Paul Clark Margaretville, N. Y. Kappa Psi 2, 3. 4; S.C.A. 2, 3; A.Ph.A. 2, 3, 4; Ai.embic Pharmakon Staff 4; Dean’s list 1, 2, 3, 4. As an Army veteran, John served at Camp Gordon in that peachy state of Georgia for most of his stay with Uncle Sam. John’s hobby of hunting finally hit pay dirt for him when on June 14, 1958, he took Marilyn Kistner, of Albany, as his bride. During the Senior year, John worked in the chemistry lab as Dr. Verderame’s able assistant. His presence in lab was felt by all of us, especially on our chem. lab. reports. Graduate study may possibly find its way into John’s future. Mike, the good will ambassador from Schenectady, traveled 18 miles each morning and usually reached the lecture room door just as the bell rang. His four years in the U. S. Air Force proved to be basic training for his flight to and fro each day. The distance did not hamper Mike’s success as a student. He could usually be found on the tennis court, although his true “love,” Margaret, occupied most of Mike’s time. His amiable personality and winning smile won many friends at A.C.P., and Mike will always be remembered “totin’ his brief case.” Michael Coluciello, Jr. Schenectady, N. Y. A.Ph.A. 2, 3, 4. Off in the distance we hear the thunderous roar of a mighty engine. No, it isn’t the X-104 breaking the sound bar- rier; it’s Salvatore J. Danna, breaking through the south wall of A.C.P. on his mighty velocipede. “Brando,” as he is endearingly called by his fellow members of the “Pistoneers,” reached the culmination of his college career when he ascended to the presidency of that organization. Lately, Joe hasn't had much time to pursue his favorite hobby of polo. His future plans include “making the Dean's list within the next two years.” S. Joseph Danna Horseheads, N. Y. Phi Delta Chi 1, 2, 3, 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 1, 4; Intramural Basketball 2; Intramural Softball 2. Robert C. Davis Watertown, N. Y. Kappa Psi 2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Dean’s List 1,3, 4. Bob decided on a pharmacy career after serving four years in that capacity with the Navy at. Newport Naval Hospital, aboard the U.S.S. Lloyd, and with Attack Squardron U.A. 20 at Oceana, Virginia. A career associated with medicine seems to run in the family, as his wife, Charleen, has been a nurse at the Albany Hospital during the four years of their stay in the Capital city. Charleen also hails from Watertown, that cold part of N. Y. State. Bob’s training in the Navy gave rise to his many hobbies, all of which include water sports. The retail field has caught Bob’s eye, but his assocation will be with a store that doesn’t handle toys. A pleasant and easy going guy, “Gus” reached the ultimate and fitting climax to his A.C.P. days when elected to the top executive position of the Senior Class. As president, he has proven himself both able and competent. His schedule of enjoyment is varied, but most of all, his spare time is occupied “strumin’ that old geetar,” to the en- joyment (?) of his roommates. Gus also finds pleasure in his nocturnal walks; as he puts it, “The night is calling.” Not certain which branch of pharmacy he wishes to enter, Gus wants to weigh each aspect carefully. August J. Dobish Endicott, N. Y. A.Ph.A. 1,2, 3, 4; Newman Club 1,2, 3, 4; Kappa Psi 2, 3, 4, Recording Secretary 4; Class President 4. Charles L. English Windsor, N. Y. S.C.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 4; Dean’s List 3. Charlie, a graduate of Harper College, came to A.C.P. after serving 2 years with the Army in Japan and Korea. As one of the more talented members of our class, he can blow the smoothest note from a real cool trumpet, a great asset to the various dance bands with which he has been associated. In the Christmas assembly, Charlie demonstrated his musical ability by conducting a special arrangement of While Christmas.” A member of the “Friday, short day” section, Charlie could be seen every weekend driving his Ford to Windsor, to be with his Dorothy. After graduation, Charlie plans to make his father’s pharma- cy one of the tops of its kind. HiF Edward A. Fausel Albany, N. Y. Kappa Psi 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Newman Club I, 2, 3,4; Alembic Piiarmakon Staff 4. February, 1959, meant “bye, bye bachelor clays” for Ed, as he very willingly gave up his Kappa Psi pin to one of our lovely Pharmacy gals, Dotty McGregor; lucky guy! As to which of the happy two-some is the better cook re- mains to be seen. Ed has had plenty of practice making coffee (instant, that is) at the Holmes Court social hall, but we also hear that Dotty cooks an intoxicating chicken. Ed’s crew cut appears to be the result of Indian warfare, but it is actually a symbol of the Army reserves. If Ed gets a crack at grad school, physiology or pharmacolo- gy will be his choice. Since the name of Mamaroneck, N. Y. was too difficult to pronounce, Warren decided it was time for a change and moved to Tonawanda (so what’s the difference?). The move didn't change him at all, for he'll always be the same high pressure salesman for Kappa Psi. Everyone wonders if Warren sleeps with all his fraternity equipment on. Warren has participated in almost every extra-curricular activity, except the sorority, and he even has an interest in that. Warren D. Ficke Tonawanda, N. Y. Kappa Psi I. 2, 3, 4.

A long-time employee, as well as an ardent devotee of the festivities, at Yezzi’s, Bill nevertheless could be found at hi,1 Holmes Court residence a great deal of the time (well, some o the time, anyway), amassing all the knowledge he could. Always a fervent disciple of the “Confirmed Bachelors’ As sociation,” Bill finally had a change of heart in his Senior year The gal who stole that heart, the former Marilyn DuPoni of Hudson, N. Y., and our boy Bill entered the holy bonds oi matrimony in November of 1958. Upon graduation in June, Bill intends to begin graduatt work in pharmacology'. It didn’t take us long to shorten the name to “Moe,” so Moe it was! A veteran of the U. S. Navy, he is now the owner of a four-wheeled ship which somehow manages to get him to classes. Onto the Troy-Albany road to Pharmacy came Moe each morning, riding in style in that green “Big M” which has become his trademark. Engaged to be married, Moe will take the big step following graduation. Then, he plans to enter into competition with the retail pharmacies in Troy, working with his father.

Among Beth's many assets were “Scrooch” hair cuts and a hevy with a “special” seat. Alternating evenings found her siting on tables at Stittig’s Confectionary. When not work- tg, Beth had the greatest capacity for avoiding books to catch flick or T.V. late, late, late show. Echoes of sobbing and tear- ained floors will always be remembered by her roommates. With the possibility of practicing her profession in Europe, eth is all set for a wonderful future. Elsbeth Gerum Esperance, N. ¥.

From out of the north comes the cry of “Bacon and eggs, coming right up.” Besides his capacities as a good pharmacist, Larry is one of the few really experienced as a short order cook. His new speciality will probably be “fried egg emulsion.” Larry played it cool until his Senior year when a Pharmacy gal managed to steal his heart. Larry and Cynthia can always be seen walking down the halls, arm in arm, talking over common interests, each other! Usually hard at work in pharmacology lab, he took advan- tage of the exerience in preparation for possible graduate work. Adam, alias Tom,” makes the daily trip to our college from the Electric City.” Before embarking on the pharmacy pro- fession, he served four years in the Navy. During those sea- faring days, Tom spent two years on the carrier U.S.S. Lake Champlain, and later took up residence on the cruiser North- hampton. We’ll never forget his hilarious tales of shore leave, and especially his experience in a runaway rick shaw. With medical corpsman’s duties and graduation behind him, Tom looks forward to wedding bells in August when he will say “I do” with Beverly Snyder, a school teacher, also from Schenectady. Retail pharmacy will add Tom to its ranks. Adam T. Glover, Jr. Schenectady, N. Y. Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 1, 3, 4. Herbert Thomas Goggins Schenectady, N. Y.

Bert, another of the quiet clan of the class, will be remem- bered for his unassuming, confident nature, as well as for his readiness to help any classmate in need. “Speak softly and carry a big stick” was Bert’s trademark, and his leadership was shown when he was elected Regent of Kappa Psi. A Navy Air Force veteran, he has served in the U.S. and in Europe. Bert hit the jackpot when he look vows with Elaine Vacca on August 30, 1958, and he is always ready to tell of the ad- vantages of married life. Joel I. Goldwin Binghamton, N. Y. Rho Pi Phi 1, 2, 3. 4: A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Athletic Commission 1, 2, 3, 4: Intramural Softball 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 3, 4; Alembic Piiarmakon Stall 4. “Goldie” Goldwin, upon his arrival to Albany, established himself as a charter member of “Mudge Hall,” in which many hectic and original events occured. J. G. distinguished himself in many ways at A.C.P., being a familiar face on the Athletic Commission and an able photographer. Joel has displayed keen sagicity in interpreting the intri- cacies of Wall Street, a talent bound to serve him well in future years. Goldie’s future plans include marriage to Reva Heller, and expansion of the growing chain of Kent Drug Stores. What- ever Joel does, he will be “flying high.” Walt came “North” from Staten Island (which he still be- ieves should be a part of New Jersey) to enter the ivy halls ■f A.C.P. Aside from his many scholastic achievements, Walt has done n outstanding job as Editor-in-Chief of the Alembic Pharma- .on. He has always been known to lend a helping hand when leeded most, as evidenced by the familiar saying, “Ask Walt, ie’11 know.” Walt was a familiar site driving his blue Ford (BR.6969) lown New Scotland Avc., especially when he negotiated his amous “U” turn which served as an example in Prof. Lape- ina’s physics lecture. June will not bring Walt’s school days to an end, as he plans o pursue a career in chemistry at the University of Wisconsin. Walter L. Graef Staten Island, N. Y.

It was to our advantage that Sally decided to trade her farm tools and tractor for test tubes and pipettes. In her usual carefree and jaunty way, Sally has taken part in many activities. One of those endeavors, much to the con- sternation of her four roommates, entails attempting to budget the “kitty for the apartment. Better late than never (at least that’s what Sally says), she can be identified as a cloud heading for Bender Lab. Upon graduation, Sally plans to enter research technology in the vicinity of Syracuse. Don is one guy that most of us have to look up to. Tall in the saddle, here is a man who is known as a connoisseur of fine food. The word is that he baffled a waitress at Lombardo’s one evening. Was that two orders of spaghetti, Don? Also from the grape vine, it’s told that he had no trouble with the cats in anatomy lab, as he helps his father, a butcher, on weekends. When he’s not studying, Don likes to try his bull’s-eye ability with archery equipment. Don’s hopes for the future arc embodied in plans for his own retail pharmacy.

Y. and obtained his B.A. degree at Lincoln University where he majored in psychology. Prior to this, he had graduated from high school in Jamaica, British West Indies. Body building, track and boxing all keep Bert in shape and prove the many additional talents of pharmacy students. Bert was always known to be interested in bis studies, and could usually be found in the library trying to obtain all of the information he could. After graduation, he hopes to enter the field of pharmacy in a hospital pharmacy. Egbert Lionel Hall Bronx, N. Y. S.C.A. 2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 4. Gary Winston Hamblen Delmar, N. Y. A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Kappa Psi 1, 2, 3, 4; S.C.A. 1, 2, 3,4. “Snapper” graduated from Bethlehem Central High in Del- mar, after which he decided to retire from his executive posi- tion in the supermarket industry and embark on a career in pharmacy. Gary, accompanied by his partner-in-crime, Bill Long, could often be found shopping around for members of the opposite sex, on evenings away from the books. Upon graduation, Gary plans to go into retail work and possibly into the United Stales Public Health Service; that is, if he manages to escape the pitfalls of marriage. 37 “Big Dave” is a familiar figure working in the cafeteria or in the halls on the janitorial staff. With all of that training, he can be headed in o ne direction only. Better watch your step, Dave! Ranking high on his all-important list of extra-curricular fun, the Kappa Psi beer parties and the annual picnic take first place. Dave also boasts to be a member of the “Rens- selear Trio.” He is also an avid sports enthusiast. More education is the key word to Dave’s future, and the next step on the ladder is graduate school. David A. Hanson Middle Falls, N. Y. Kappa Psi 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Historian 1; Varsity Basketball 1, 2. 3; Intramural Basketball 3, 4: S.C.A. 2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Dean’s List 1. William Patrick Hoppey Port Jervis, N. Y. Intramural Softball 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basket- ball 1, 2; Dean’s List 2. During his hitch with Uncle Sam, Bill was as busy as he was here at Pharmacy. In the Navy he was a second class Corps- man, an x-ray technician, and attended the U. S. Naval Acad- emy. After Bill sailed over to join our class, he proved how easy it was to complete school with a marriage status and an under- standing wife, such as his Joan. The happy couple now have another potential pharmacist in the family in the person of their son, William Patrick, Jr. Sports rank high on “Hop’s” list of favorites, and he showed his ability many times on the ball field. Retails pharmacy is the key to Bill’s future. 38 Kenneth William Hunter Albany, N. Y. Union Rifle Team 1, 2; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 4; Intramural Softball 1, 2, 3. Ken has a keen interest in many activities, some of which are Hying, skin diving and target shooting. Ilis proficiency as a marksman is evidenced by the fact that he was a member of Union’s rifle team for his first two years at A.C.P. Ken is one of the many “Brothers Boys” in our class, being a graduate of nearby C.B.A. Following in the footsteps of his father, a graduate of A.C.P., Ken plans to work on the retail side of pharmacy, after a toui- in the armed forces. From the regions of the Hudson, “Dassie” arived at A.C.P. ,o pursue the field of pharmacy as a member of “The” class )f ’59. Accompanying the Glee Club came naturally for Hadassah is she tends to be musically inclined. Playing the piano, as well is teaching Hebrew school, are interests she thoroughly enjoys. Her many questions in various lectures were enjoyed by all accept the professors, who were sure to have a dictionary on tand. Dassie's plans are very definite. After obtaining her license, she intends to acquire another license (of marriage) and wants to raise six children; future graduates of A.C.P.? 39. Hadassah Israel Newburgh, N. Y. A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 4. Irvin C. Kepner, Jr. Endicott, N. Y. Kappa Psi 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3; In- tramural Softball 1, 2, 3, 4. Via a passport from Uncle Sam and the U. S. Coast Guard, “Kep” joined the ranks of future pharmacists in the Fall of 1955, hopefull and ambitious. His keen interest in sports was shown by his activity in intra- mural basketball and softball. Irv married his hometown sweetheart, Mary Ann, and is now the proud father of a lovely daughter, Nancy Joann. An- other pharmacist to follow in her father’s footsteps? Will “Dondi 1” ever forget his Senior year? We doubt it. Along with Kramer and a couple of others, he could invariably be found at the Kenmore or Bowling Green. A founder of the “T.N.D.C.” and the “F.M.B.S.,” Les was a very active extra- curricular man. Les will always be remembered for his quick and ready wit, never being at a loss for words. His ability to create fads, such as “Sandbox,” proved quite enjoyable for everyone. Les has an avid interest in Warner-Chilcott and eventually plans to own a controlling share of stock. Lester Kleinman Ellenville, N. Y. Rho Pi Phi 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 3, 4; Intramural Softball 1, 2. 3, 4. Irena’s hardy laugh and warm personality were a welcome idition to our class. Originally from Poland, she attended St. .ose College for two years before transferring to A.C.P. Her school activities have been many and varied, but her lief interest is at home with her husband, Adam, and their arling little daughter, Basia. Irena is most remembered for her candid pictures of the bool's activtities, in which most of us appeared. In her Senior year, December 5 had a special significance, slier much deserved citizenship was granted. The class joined ith her in this joyous occasion, indulging in tasting her itchen creation—a cake baked without flour. Irena Engel Kowalik Albany, N. Y. Camera Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 1, 2. 3, 4; Lambda Kappa Sigma 1, 2. 3. 4. Arthur Kramer Brooklyn, N. Y. Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Soft- ball 1. 2, 3, 4; Athletic Commission 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 1. 2, 3, 4; Rho Pi Phi 1, 2, 3, 4, Chancellor 4; In- terfraternity Council 4; Alembic Pharmakon Staff 4. Whenever we heard that old familiar saying, “When in doubt, Punt!”, we knew that Art was close by, raking up a storm. A friend to all, except the referees at a basketball game, his alacrity of wit usually kept the class in hysterics on many occa- sions. We especially remember when Professor Lapetina dis- covered that physics is completely different in Art’s foreign village of Brooklyn. Art brought great honor to Rho Pi Phi, Beta chapter, by being elected to the office of Fourth Vice-Supreme Councillor of the international organization. Retail pharmacy will mold Art’s future days. Chuck, who was the illustrious president of our class during the Sophomore year, was an avid enthusiast of many organiza- tions during his four year stay at Pharmacy. He will be re- membered as a “Clinton Heights Mob Member” and the in- augurator of the marathon card games into the wee hours of the morning. On the basketball court, Chuck attained a solid berth on the varsity squad, and was usually “looked up to.” After obtaining his license, Charley will enter retail phar- macy. But the first things first, and that means a four year contract with the U.S. Navy. Charles E. Leighton Binghamton, N. Y. Kappa Psi 1,2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. I, 2, 3, 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Class President 2; Student Council 2; Intramural Sottball 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basket- ball 1, 2; Varsity Basketball 3. 4. Allen Lieberoff Gloversville, N. Y. A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Rho Pi Phi 1, 2, 3, 4. “Are there any questions?” asked the professor. This inev- itably brought forth a response from Al, whose queries often kept the class awake. Al is one-half of the “dynamic duo” of Lieberoff and Long. The narratives of their many escapades will continue to be repeated even after they depart our halls. A man of varied avocation. Al is esrwcialK fond of eating Halivah and going water skiing; (simultaneously?). Among Al’s accomplishments, one stands out foremost in his mind. In his Junior year, he almost made the Dean’s List. Included in his future plans is a trip to Florida with Bill. Harvey Ira Lipschultz Plattsburgh, N. Y. Rho Pi Phi 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club I; Intramural Soft- ball 2. Who will ever forget Harv’s stirring performance of the “Reverend” in the Senior production, as well as his discovery that creamy peanut butter makes an excellent ointment base? These attributes arc typical of the many talented personalities of the man who composed such great song hits as, “Who Are We To Doubt The U.S.P?”, and “I Make My Emulsions 4-2-1.” Also, Harv claims to be the only one ever to break an egg emulsion, and to recover it with acacia! Not one to waste words, he has always volunteered his opinions on matters tersely and succinctly. Harv’s plans are undecided. Bill, an ardent enthusiast of extra-curricular activities, boasts membership in the “Early Morning Bowling League” and is a skilled dart shooter (just keep out of his way). Not one to let his studies fall to the wayside, he has excelled scholastically. Bill and his trademarked pipe are often seen wherever par- ticular people congregate, such as banquets and various meet- ings, discussing world problems with anyone aware that the world has problems. If Bill has his way, his native Glen Head will have another retail pharmacy. F. William Livingston, Jr. Glen Head, N. Y. Kappa Alpha, Union College 1, 2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 2, 3, 4; Dean’s List 3. Eugene P. Lodge Albany, N. Y. Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3, 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3,4. A native of that clean city of Rath, Gene is one guy who believes in that saying, “Go west, young man.” The excitement of Galifornia beckons and Gene has his ears wide open; as wrell as keeping ours open with his tales of the old wrest. One of the many “Fly Boys” in our class, Gene is one veteran who claims to have served “all over.” After hearing all of those tales of the service, we don’t doubt it. Gene and his wife, Inez, are the proud parent storks of little Marie (Squeaker) Lodge. Gene’s plans for the future? California, naturally! Bill, the drugstore cow'boy, was one of the most colorful members of our class. Every morning, about ten minutes before the bell, he could be seen riding up Holland Avenue in that “gray thing” which served him so faithfully for four years. When Bill wasn’t busy making wallpaper out of his notes, he enjoyed working at amateur brain surgery, with A1 as his assistant. Also, when the urge hit him, he would play a piece of progressive jazz on his trumpet. Bill is undecided about furthering his education. His master plan is to open the largest professional pharmacy in Florida; that is ,if that “gray thing” will make it down there. William Frederick Long, Jr. Albany, N. Y. A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; S.C.A. 3, 4. With brief-case in hand, Mike started out with the Class of ’59 and was outstanding from the start. His popularity is shown by his election to the Sophomore Vice-Presidency and then to the Junior Presidency. Faster than you can say “marriage,” Mike took the big step in his Junior year when he exchanged vows with Joanne Con- way. On October 6, 1958, the Loudis’ were blessed with a baby girl, Michelle. Mike has held part-time jobs in retail pharmacies and more recently at the Albany Hospital. After graduation, he will resort to the former as his field. Michael J. Loudis Albany, N. Y. Kappa Psi 1,2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Vice-President 2, Class President 3; Stu- dent Council 2, 3. Richard A. Lummert Albany, N. Y. A.Ph.A. 3, 4. After classes are over, Dick heads home for one of those delicious wife-cooked meals. His wife, Fay, and his daughter, are his inspiration, and prove that family life is great. Dick devotes any extra energy to his long-time hobby- automobiles. Seems to be a likely pastime for a guy married to a native of Detroit. A member of the veterans in our class, he fulfilled his mili- tary obligation in the U.S. Air Force, working in Washington for four years as a pharmacy technician. Dick’s immediate plans after graduation are not complete as of yet. 45 “Ginsberg” entered the portals of Pharmacy via many card games and varied stops along the way. Chuck wasn’t a whir in cognosy, but just ask him for the blood line of the most, obscure pony and a startling revelation would lake place. His affection for animals was surpassed only by his love for Norm’s Delicatessen, where he was .usually found huddled over the “Morning Line” or a hot stove. Ginsberg feels that since this is the end of his monumental college career, it’s about time to go to work. As soon as he find a filly with sufficient income we expect him to settle in Rochester. Charles V. Maggio Rochester, N. Y. Ralph Thomas Mancini Fonda, N. Y. A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Kappa Psi 3, 1; Varsity Basketball 2, 3, 4; Newman Club I, 2, 3, 4. “Muz” was the only man in history who could cover the forty miles from Fonda to A.G.P. each morning in thirty min- utes. Whenever we came to class early, Ralph was always there, patiently studying since his arrival a half hour earlier. A member of the varsity basketball team for three years, Ralph really went to town in his Junior and Senior years, being a key man on the court. His great love for the outdoors was surpassed only by his affection for a certain red head in the Junior class. Ralph plans to do graduate work after obtaining his license. 46 Harry S. Margolius Albany, N. Y. A.I’ll.A. 1, 2, 3. 4; Rho Pi Phi ], 2, 3. 4, Correspond- ing Scribe 3, Vice-Chancellor 4; A.C.S. 4, Vice-Presi- dent 4; l.F.C. Council 4, President 4; Mortar Pestle 2. Circulation Manager 2; Alembic Pharma- kon Staff 4; Dean’s List 3. Harry, The Hawk,” while living at home, overcame this so-called obstacle to become an integral part of most activi- ties on “campus.” One of the foremost exponents of Rho Pi Phi, Harry’s training in public speaking served him well on many occasions, especially during heated debates at fraternity meetings and the “395 Club.” Harry, the “Shu Pomeroy Kid,” spent much of liis off campus life at the famed club on Quail St. with the two other members of the triumvirate, Sid and Burt. Albany has not seen the last of Harry, as he has received a fellowship at Albany Medical College, where he will study pharmacology. Descending on A.C.P. with Segelin, Sid quickly gained charter membership in “Club 395.” An active participant in practically everything, Sid could be found in the company of “Burt and Harry” on a basketball trip, a study session (?), a riot at 395, or on one of those special trips to Sage. Although Sid gives the impression of being very quiet, when he has something to say (like “the drinks are on me.”), people listen. Always a man to do first things first and never go overboard (well, rarely), he would at least attempt to get studying out of the way, one way or another. Sidney S. Markus Rochester, N. Y. Rho Pi Phi 1, 2, 3, 4, Historian 3, Treasurer 4; A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Softball 2; Class His- torian 4; Alembic Pharmakon Staff 4. 47 Ronald G. Matthews Ellenville, N. Y. Kappa l’si 1, 2, 3, 4; S.C.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramurals 1, 2, 3, 4. One of Ellenville’s gifts to Pharmacy, Ron has become an intricate part of our class in every respect. His ready smile and quick wit was that extra something we all readily accepted. Roommates throughout their four years at A.C.P., Ron and Larry have worn out many a cookbook looking for anything easy to cook. Certainly neither one has shown any ill effects of the other’s cooking. A lucky guy, Ron became engaged to Doris Moshier ol Ellenville in his Senior year. So that’s the reason for those weekly southbound trips! Ron may go into business with his father, an alumnus ot A.C.P. To try and place Bob’s hometown would be a weary job, for he is truly A.C.P.’s “Nomad.” Bob was born at Saranac Lake, N.Y.; then moved to New Briton and New London, Conn.; then to Dunkirk, N.Y.; then back to Stafford Springs, Conn.; to De Witt, N.Y.; to Hamden, Conn.; then from Delmar, N.Y. to Denver, Colorado; and finally to his latest stop. Short Hills, New Jersey. Where he stops nobody knows. His ability as an actor made him a tremendous hit at the opening night of the Senior Play. Bob’s ambitions lie in retail pharmacy, and most roads seem to lead to Delmar, center of his various interests. Robert W. Miller Short Hills, N. J. A.Ph.A. 2, 3, 4; Newman Club I, 2, 3, 4; Camera Club 1. 48 Ray, sure to make his mark in retail pharmacy, has worked in that field for many years, resulting in a massive accumula- tion of knowledge of all phases of retail practice. During his sojourn at Albany Pharmacy, he has worked steadily in one of the local pharmacies. Much of his free time is occupied with bowling or chess, but near and dear to his heart is a good game of darts. How- ever, Ray has had to give up his Thursday night dart game to attend the U.S. Naval Reserve meeting, which has had the benefit of eight years of his loyal service. Raymond J. Mooney Albany, N. Y. Kappa Psi 3, 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3. 4; A.l’h.A. 4. Joseph P, Morris Chadwick, N. Y. A.Ph.A. 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 1, 2, 3 4; Newman Club 1,2, 3, 4. Each year Joe visits us from Chadwick, N.Y., and is known as the “welcome tourist.’' An avid sports fan, he especially enjoys baseball and bas- ketball, as displayed by his proficiency during .intramural competition. One of his outstanding traits was his knowledge of players and current scores during the baseball season. Married to the former Mary Brown (a hometown gal), Joe enjoys one of those “Is dinner ready clear?” lives. An Air Force veteran, he served in Spokane, Washington, and over in England from 1951 until he joined us. Retail pharmacy will claim Joe’s dispensing talents. 49 Mai” is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, and before coming to Pharmacy, was stationed in Colorado, Korea, and South Carolina for four years. Always ready and willing to lend a helping hand, he could usually be found in the cafeteria with Gene Lodge. Tom and his lovely wife, Margaret, were always among those present at the many parties and social functions held at A.C.P. and subsidiaries. He will long be remembered for his role in the Senior Play, in which he gave a vivid portrayal. After graduation, Tom plans to open a retail pharmacy. Where? In Alaska, naturally. Thomas C. Mowrey Fort Plain, N. Y. A.Ph.A. 1,2, 3, 4. Peter M. Murray Albany, N. Y. Kappa Psi 2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. I, 2, 3, 4, President 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Athletic Commission 3, 4. The man with the friendly, booming” voice was often seen over a coffee cup in the cafeteria with Miller, Livingston, et. al., discussing the previous evening’s foray of the better-class tea rooms. As famous as his classic phrase, “Pax,” was his jet-powered Ford which carried him to many interesting places, until a curb got in his way and he became a car buddy. Pete’s self-confidence, which won him the A.Ph.A. presi- dency in the Senior year, also won the heart of his lovely wife, Darlene, whom he wed on April 4. Pete is looking forward to the pursuance of a career in medicine after graduation. John K. Nichols Burlington, Vt. A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Newman Club I, 2, 3, 4. Claiming the Green Mountain State for his home, “Nic” readily became a part of A.C.P., both scholastically and socially. His great love of music and his outstanding ability at. the organ and piano was beneficial to everyone. Many happy times were spent as we gathered around the piano, singing while he played anything from Bcethovan to “Every Street’s a Boulevard in Old New York.” Speaking of New York, a few years ago John and several of his cohorts initiated morn- ing excursions to that great big city (for coffee?). Nic’s future plans include marriage and working “in that wonderful state of Vermont.” As the silent advisor of the Mortar and Pestle, A1 consti- tutes the other half of the Bob and A1 team. Professor Hanmer and A1 became steadfast friends from the start, and they could always be seen in the cognosy lab office holding one of their friendly and uninhibited conversations. During his Senior year, A1 boasted of his Delaware Avenue apartment, situated directly across from Keane’s tavern, with his original Picasso on the wall (of his apartment, that is). After attaining the alumnus status, A1 intends to enter retail pharmacy in his own hometown. 51 Albert Nicolella Gloversville, N. Y. Kappa Psi I, 2, 3, 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Mortar Pestle 4; A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Class President 1; Ai.emric Pharmakon Staff 4. Francis B. Oliva Olean, N. Y.

Frank, a quiet and amiable guy, joined us from the big city of Olean, New York. As one of our avid sports enthusiasts, he has contributed his talents to intramural baseball and basketball, as well as serving on the Athletic Commission for three years, acting as chairman in his Senior year. It was not an uncommon site to see Frank “buzzing” around Albany in his Iinpala anti later his Skyliner. Following graduation, Frank plans to enter retail pharmacy, and may join his brother at Niagara Falls. Commuting to A.C.P. from that fair city of Troy, Phil claims to be owner of that license plate made famous by Pro- fessor Binkley. One of the quiet members of our class, he distinguishes himself when it comes to studying. Among Phil’s extra-curricular endeavor’s is a part-time posi- tion in a Troy pharmacy. Fishing and golf get equal consid- eration in his spare time. Upon graduation, Phil plans to enter retail pharmacy, but most important in his crystal ball is marriage to Fran in 1960. 52 Philip Joseph O’Neill, Jr. Troy, N. Y. Kappa Psi I, 2, 3, 4; Newman Club 1, 2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basketball 2; Intra- mural Softball 3; Alembic Pharmakon Staff 4; Dean’s List 3. “Pal” was shipped over to A.C.P. as a member of the envoy from Troy. Always famous for his ultra-flat flat-top, John's trademark has shifted to his black, horn-rimmed glasses. In his spare time. Pal enjoys a good game of hockey or softball, although it seemed that most of his interests were focused at the activities at R.P.I., especially those fraternity parties. At times, his episodes with the fairer sex became somewhat- confusing. His prescription for the near future includes retail phar- macy, and naturally, marriage. John Edward Palladino Troy, N. Y.

A welcome addition to the Med. Tech, class of ’59, Karen was noted for her trademarks of a pleasant smile and a cheery hello. Her studious nature and attentiveness in her Junior courses at Bender merited marks worthy of the Dean’s List. Karen came to America in 1950, after completing her edu- cation in Latvia. Her interest in medical technology may be attributed to the work of her father, Dr. A. Romanis, a resi- dent at Memorial Hosiptal where Karen spent her practical training. Future plans? Medical Technology, but natch! 53 Joe is Ellenville's gift t:o A.C.P., and to those lovely crea- tures called females. When asked what he enjoys most about Albany, his answer would undoubtedly be, “Girls!” (We have to ask?) Joe has become famous at A.C.P. for his wit and humor, and we will always remember liis jokes about that “little red Chevy” that had a relapse. Since anyone can remember, “Spunky” has endeavored to figure out the ponies, and a familiar site was Joe behind the “Telly” with slide rule in hand. Whether he will win, place, or show in the future, the odds arc good. Just ask Joe. Joseph Rampe Ellenville, N. Y. Athletic Commission 4; Xcwman Club 1, 2; Kappa Psi 1, 2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Intramural Basket- ball 3, 4; Intramural Softball 3, 4. Carl Rosenfeld Syracuse, N. Y. A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Rho Pi Phi 1, 2, 3, 4; Athletic Commission 4. Hailing from the college town of Syracuse (though moving to Florida for a while), “Tiger” decided to embark on “The” career of pharmacy. Teaming up with joe Rampe, Carl be- came known as a member of the “R and R Clinton Avenue Congregation.” In his Senior year, he became thoroughly digusted with Florida when he discovered that ninety-nine percent of the beautiful women there are married. So, back to Syracuse he went, and with good reason too. Upon graduation, Carl will stake a claim in his home town with the gland opening of the “Tiger Pharmacy.” 54 Janis Elaine Scott Stony Point, N. Y. A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4. “Scotty” came to A.C.P. from Prof. Walker’s St. Lawrence Valley, far to the north. Her cheerful nature has won her many friends since then. In her Junior year, Janis moved south of Albany t.o Stony Point. Her stamp collection has been her chief pastime for many years. Also, her discussions with Prof. Walker on economic conditions in the north country proved to be one pastime that often stimulated the entire class. She has spent several summers working for the State, and after graduation, plans to work for the State again as a hos- pital pharmacist. Always laughing, full of pep, friendly—all describe “Chaim,” who came all the way from Utica to study pharmacy. Her easy going manner rarely changed after hours of studying for exams and provided a steadying factor for all around her. Jeannie’s classic statement when things got hectic and tension mounted was, “Don’t sweat the small stuff.” She could usually be found working at Einsteins’ Pharmacy or participating in various extra-curricular activities, such as cheerleading, bowling (she’s a charter member of the F.M.B.S.), and water skiing. Following in the tradition of most of us, Jeannie will enter retail pharmacy. Jeannie M. Scully Utica, N. Y.

Rho Pi Phi 1. 2, 3, 4, Scribe 4; Mortar Pestle 2, 3; A.Ph.A. I, 2, 3, 4; Alembic Piiarmakon Staff 4. A man of many interests, “Sedgewick” could always be found engaged in varied activities, and when coaxed, would play really swinging piano. His liking for the modern sounds was surpassed only by his taste for Hydrox Cookies. Burt has a real flair for writing and directing, as witnessed by the memorable Senior Production. He was an active partici- pant in all riots and discussions which took place at the Club 395. Sedgewick plans lo take the California State Boards and further his education with liberal arts courses. Burt is real gone on the stock market and someday hopes lo own shares in a barber shop. A product of the greater metropolitan area of Ravena-Coey- mans, “Sherm” soon proved to be a serious as well as a fun- loving guy. On many occasions, he could be talked into spend- ing the night at the apartment of his two cronies, Rosenfeld and Rampe, for the purpose of an orderly get together (?). For four years, Jack has managed to take excellent notes in lectures; a remarkable feat considering that Segelin and Shind- ler sat beside him. With diploma in hand, Jack hopes to devote more time to his hobbies, which include hunting in the wilds of Ravcna, as well as racing sports cars in competition. Jack Warren Sherman Ravena, N. Y. A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Kappa Psi 1, 2, 3, 4. On the bridge of one of the U.S. Coast Guard’s cutters stands our own personal guardian of the shores. In his last two and one-half years at Pharmacy, Mel could be found prac- tically every weekend on Long Island, not guarding the coast, but visiting his one and only, Rima; (The big day for both is June. 14). Mel was one of the 45 Holmes Court gang, and usually spent his time washing his car, “occasionally” studying, deep in the throes of a heavy discussion, or on the phone with Rima. Oh!, those monthly phone bills. Mel will practice in his home town, but someday he wants to travel. Melvyn Shindler Syracuse, N. Y.

Originally from Latvia, where she was born and raised, Baiba came to America in 1950. Following her high school education in Albany, she decided that Medical Technology was the career for her. Baiba could usually be located in the lounge, with book in hand, preparing for the oncoming lecture. Her practical training was obtained at Memorial Hospital, where she was well-known and well-liked for her willingness to learn. Future-wise, Baiba is undecided, but she plans to remain in Albany and utilize her Medical Technology knowledge. In the past four years many a male student has suddenly turned crimson, when Donna would focus her orbs upon him. Donna has the remarkable trait of being able to be charming, attractive and a bundle of fun, all at the same time, as Joe will attest. Unfortunately for the men of A.C.P., Joe Chiarella, class of '58,- stepped in early in Donna’s college career and thus ended all further competition. He was so successful in that endeavor (or she was!), that they will be married in August and settle in Peekskill, N.Y. With two pharmacists in the family, chain retail pharma- cies should be no problem. Donna Maria Tarnowski Endicott, N. Y.

Although she has worked long hours in a Rensselaer phar- macy, Kay found ample time to enjoy swimming, skating, knitting and most of all, Tom. Her marriage to Tom Almy, a graduate of R.P.I., is forthcoming. When he served with the Navy, Kay’s favorite pastime proved to be letter writing. Noted for her calmness and agility in dispensing lab, she, however, could never understand why Professor De Nuzzo toured the lab shuffling cards. Kay’s future plans include, most of all, marriage. 58 Cosimo M. Torraco Utica, N. Y. Kappa Psi 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 4; Camera Club I, 2; Newman Club 2, 3. 4; Dean’s l ist 3. T. R. Proctor High in Utica contributed to our hails of learning in the person of Cosimo Torraco, known to most of us as “Gus.” Gus is one of the main ingredients in those cramming ses- sions at the famed 112 Morris, along with the other members of the quintet—Mooney, Maggio, Loudis and Walsh. A man of the fresh out-door life, Gus often finds enjoy- ment in hunting and fishing. Pharmacy would gain a fine addition should Cosimo choose to honor it by joining its ranks. Ed’s background forecasts success in pharmacy. After serv- ing four years in the U.S. Naval Medic Corps in Korea, Japan, French Indo China and Hong Kong, Ed was inevitably des- tined for a career in pharmacy. He is one of the many happily married students in our class. He and his wife, Eleanor, boast a bouncing baby boy, Edward, Jr., who has often been seen helping his daddy in dis- pensing lab. Ed’s main interest is in pharmaceutical research, and it was a familiar site to see him in chemistry lab on the lookout for broken equipment to add to his collection. Industrial pharmacy is indicative of Ed’s future plans. Edward J. Trnka Saugerties, N. Y. Camera Club 1, 2, 3, 4; A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 4; Dean's List 1, 3. 59 J. Griffith Troidle Albany, N.

A prominent member of the “coffee club,” Griff has ad- vanced to the presidency of that wide-awake organization. One of the most outstanding traits for which he has become famous is his decorative and imaginative “doodles,” which he creates during most lectures. He has become quite pro- ficient in drawing “dry” martinis. As head of the “G.D.I.,” Griff has decided that better things lie ahead. A toast to the future, which includes retail selling, for Griff. “Jay” drove in to A.C.P. from the southeastern part of our state. During his four years of study, he has made a special point of going home every weekend, with few exceptions. Joe enjoys a whirl around the golf course early Saturday morning, or a lively game of basketball. After nightfall, he is a firm advocator of bowling, with a few draughts between frames. Always keen on sports topics, especially Mickey Mantle, Joe is not such a sport when it comes to washing dishes. Upon entering Joe’s pharmacy, we will probably be greeted by his familiar saying, “Hey bird.” Joseph V. Walsh Glenham, N.

In his two years at Colgate, John rose to the upper half of his class scholastically and was an active participant in Lambda Chi Alpha. We remember John best for his complete and unabridged note and salient interest in chemistry. Socially his time was spent in a blending of the fairer sex, with cocktails and muted jazz. His plans are focused on industrial pharmacy after working for a limited time in the retail field. John Merrick Walts Middletown, N. Y. A.Ph.A. 2, 3, 4. Konald S. Weisberg Albany, N. Y.

Much like the man without a country, Ron is the “man without a byline.” Whether it was in the issues of the Mortar and Pestle, or the Alembic Pharmakon, Ron was the unsung hero of the sports page, the man who presented the news to us with no credit attached. His sports page always had one particular characteristic—it was outstanding. With the tutoring of Segelin and Walts, Ron is fast be- coming familiar with the greats of the jazz world and can be seen during a free moment scanning the pages of Down- beat. The insiders expect him to replace Shelley Manne with- in a few brief years. Ron hopes to make his million in the retail field. Immediately after “Nance” came to A.C.P. from Utica Cath- olic Academy, her popularity was shown by her election to class Secretary, a position she held continuously for four years. Nancy spent her spare hours as lab assistant to Dr. Baum in her Freshman and Sophomore years, working in the Albany Hospital pharmacy during her third and yourth years. Being very interested in music, she lent her talents to the Glee Club. With all of her activities, of which her work in the Newman Club has been noteworthy, Nancy has excelled scholastically. At present, her future plans have not been formulated. Margaret Nancy Welch Utica, N. Y. Lambda Kappa Sigma 1, 2, 3, 4, Recording Secre- tary 3: A.Ph.A. 1. 2, 3. 4.

It’s Campus Queen time, 1980, and there’s “Kodka” in the center of a crowd of Rope men and alumni doing a “Kazatska” with Rosenthal. Don was the established king of the dance floor on numerous occasions, and his cha-cha’s with his fiance will long be remembered. During the long winter, as we trudged our weary bodies to face mealtime at the Campus or Law School, we would site Don waiting for a bus to speed him to Carole’s house and a home-cooked meal. The volatile small-one from Cortland will marry Carole Goldman on June 28, and head for sunny Phoenix, Arizona. 62 •r Elizabeth Hallenheck Williams Albany, N. Y. Dean’s List 3. After completing a stretch in the Navy out west as a meteor- ologist, Betty decided on a Medical Technology career. Her incomparable ability to compose essays and speeches meriting straight A’s will never cease to amaze Professor Najar- ian and the students. Betty’s brain-filled stock of experiences, especially the one concerning “Cinnamon,” the hamster, were always related with a wry sense of humor which served as stimulus to many lagging lunch hours and lecture breaks. Christmas vacation meant more than time off from studies, as Betty said the magic words, “1 do,” to Dwight Williams. The William’s family is headed for Nebraska, and a success- ful future. It seems that one of Kay’s major ambitions is to open a pharmacy in Switzerland, where she’ll be able to devote her time to that wonderful sport of skiing on the snow-clad slopes of the Alps. Kay’s enthusiasm for the sport is exemplified by her famous saying, “1 can’t believe 1 fell.” Aside from many ski excursions, “Zobe” enjoyed a full sched- ule of oilier strenuous activities, such as the “F.M.B.S.” and the “T.N.D.C.” We wonder why Kay still thinks she can light a bunson burner connected to a water outlet in senior chcm. lab. Retail pharmacy and a trip to sunny California to take the Boards are included in Kay's plans. Katherine F. Zobel Whitesboro, N. Y.

As Medical Technologists, we are devoted in assisting physicians in determining the cause, nature and develop- ment of diseases. During preparation to enter our chosen profession, the courses of the first and second years are given in connection with the pharmacy curriculum, while the professional courses of the last two years are taught at Bender Laboratory. Bender Hygienic Laboratory, a non-profit philanthropic institution, offers many services to physicians and hospitals, such as blood bank supplies and providing medical laboratories for the control of comunicable diseases and sanitation. Also, Bender is the site of specialist training in the field of pathology. Upon completion and registration as Medical Technologists, we step out to the opportunities that lie ahead, whether it be additional studies or assisting Medicine in the conquest and prevention of disease. 66 September, 1955, saw one hundred and nine students, one of the largest classes in many years, enter the ivy halls of the Albany College of Pharmacy, To start our year off right we elected: A1 Nicolella, President; Carl Chin, Vice-President; Nancy Welch, Secretary-Treasurer; and Dave Hanson, Historian. As soon as October rolled around, our first social affair of our college days was held—the Fresh- men-Sophomore night. Remember the “McGuire Sisters’’ and the phonograph that wouldn’t work? work? Back to the books, and shortly we felt we were tried and true laboratory experts; well, almost! One of our colleagues decided to test the bunsen burner with his sleeve; ouch. Another rinsed out her pneumatic trough with concentrated HC1 and the class cleared out in record time. Did you know that a bunsen burner attached to a water faucet makes a great squirt gun? After pledging fraternities and joining various organizations, we settled down to more serious studying. We dissected toads, crayfish and worms, but we swore never to eat clams again. With our first encounter with final exams, many of us found out what those orange, heart- shaped tablets are really used for. September, 1956, and we were Sophomores, another step closer to the last plateau. To repre- sent us this year, we elected: Chuck Leighton, President; Mike I.oudis, Vice-President; Nancy Welch, Secretary-Treasurer; and John Palladino, Historian. During the second quarter, hearings were being held at the State: legislature concerning the Drumm-Cooke bill, which would have permitted the sale of many drug items in food markets. Many of us attended to lend our voices in opposition. Fortunately, the bill was killed in com- mittee, but we realized that it could again be a danger to pharmacy in future years. Another important event took place early in the year when we were notified of the new ap- prenticeship requirements for N.Y.S. pharmacy students. We now had to work for six months after graduation before taking part III of the State Boards. The most profound effect ol' this change was on the students planning graduate work. Christmas time was almost here and as an early gift, we received a neatly wrapped Felis do- mestica, and from then on it was every than for himself. We looked like waiters, going to and from the garage. With the coming of spring, we realized that all work and no play makes Joe College a dull boy; so at the drop of a book, we were off to New York City. Did you ever see Times Square at 7 o’clock on a Sunday morning? As our final exams rapidly approached, we could at least look forward to changing our blood- stained anatomy lab coats for clean white dispensing jackets. 1957, and at long last, Juniors! We could now start our professional education in earnest. With the dedication of the new Diamond Jubilee Wing to Board of Trustees, it seemed as though we came bad modern cafeteria with plenty of tables and ash trays. Ill Hit Hi mm school. At long h ist we had ! all? Jt [ t i 1 ill®® m ■ 11 1 Ij HH ■ . ■ Election time soon rolled around, with the results being: Mike Loudis, President; Pete Mur- ray, Vice-President; Nancy Welch, Secretary-Treasurer; and Clair DuPlessis, Historian. As far as our subjects were concerned, whew! We had plenty of work to keep us busy, includ- ing about 140 cognosy cards and 200 pages of cology notes. We soon learned that we couldn’t come to quant lab with blood-shot eyes. November through January will always be remembered as the “.Asian Flu Dog Days.’’ There were more cuts than ever before and they were all legal. With the arrival of our class rings in January came the realization that we just had to graduate in 1959. There was no way to change the inscription on the rings. It was the greatest year ever for the Panthers, winning 13 games in a row before dropping tire last heartbreaking encounter to Connecticut by only 2 points. The caliber of the pivotmen was exemplified when we received bids to the Vermont Maple Festival Tournament and the Caro- lina A.A.U. Tournament, although we couldn’t accept. We can’t forget our cheerleaders—Kay Zobel, Kerry Campion, and Jeannie Scully—who cheered on the team to victory. 1959, and at last, irrevocably, undeniably, and without a doubt, we were Seniors! We began learning about incompatibilities and after a few exams, became suspicious of the simplest aspirin prescription. Between the Gram stain and the Loefller’s Alkaline Blue stain, we at least decided that E. Coli should be wiped out. To guide us during this all-important year, we elected: Gus Dobish, President; Larry Gifford, Vice-President; Nancy Welch, Secretary-Treasurer (yes, for her fourth term); and Sid Markus, Historian. Early in the year, the editors of the school publications were also announced, with Walt Graef as Editor-in-Chief. of the Alembic Pharmakon and Bob Casler as editor of the Mortar and Pes- tle. As shown by the quality of their respective publications, both did an outstanding job. Will we ever forget our Senior Play, presented in the Grand Ballroom of the Kenmore Hotel? The lock-step entrance of Messrs. Kleinman and Murray will go down in the annals of history, along with the portrayal of the Reverend by Harvey Lipshultz. “Showdown at A. C. P.,” directed by B. W. (A. Hitchkock) Segelin, also starred Bob Casler as the 72 word per minute Cology ’ turer, and a cast of thousands (well, at least twenty). Spring was in the air, when a young student’s fancy turns to thoughts of a trip, naturally, boarded our wagon train and headed west. Instead of going during Easter vacation, we took a week off from school, and “Doc” Verderame is still trying to make up those 3 lost chemistry lec- tures. We visited Eli Lilly Co. in Indianappolis and Abbott in Chicago. At no time in the past have we slept so little, traveled so much, and eaten so much steak (not to mention the liquid used to wash it down) as we did on that memorable occasion. Though our college days at A. C. P. draw to a close, our education does not. Many of the things we learned will remain with us throughout our years of professional endeavor, and will incite within us a craving for more knowledge. The term “Commencement” is not a misnomer, for indeed, this is only the beginning! UNDERC 4 SSES 4 asssss Seated: A. Ventenbergs, C. Spagnoletti, C. Van Dyk, E. Bogdanski, D. Watson, F.

Juniors at last, and next year we’ll he seniors!” This was the feeling that most of us had as we went through the well-known procedure of registering and obtaining our books. From class to class, we found that the jigsaw puzzle finally began to fit together, each subject relating to another. We were certainly kept busy trying to write as fast as the professors lectured; phew! Aside from the many hours burning the midnight oil for those hourlies (which seemed like quarterlies) our extra-curricular activities added leisure to our well- rounded education. To represent us, we elected: Richard Doyle, president; William Dwyer, vice- president; MaryLou Schipp, secretary-treasurer; and Lois Cassidy, historian. Also representing us, we had our class sportsmen doing a great job on the basketball court and our cute gals cheering them on. Also, many of us took a keen interest in the newly-formed A.C.S. and the college glee club. Remember the fun we had singing during the seminars? And will we ever forget the thrill of selecting our class rings! Finally, the much looked-forward-to Junior Prom, and with that, our year came to an end. As we look back, we have many fond memories, but looking ahead, we realize that all was not in vain, for now we are to be seniors! 72 Seated: W. Depew, H. Davis, C. DuPlessis, S. Israel, B.

When we were told that the Sophomore year holds many challenges and re- quires a great deal of application, we might have listened with a bit of skepticism. As we look back over the year we realize that our predecessors’ predictions were true. We have acquired a taste of professional Pharmacy, and realize our job of developing and maintaining the standards of our chosen profession. To represent us this year rve elected Jack Newell as president, Jesse Nicotera in the V.P. spot, Eddie Kerr as secretary-treasurer, and Marty Gerstenzang taking care of the history aspect. To get our social ball rolling, we organized a Freshman-Sophomore party to welcome the new students. The auditorium was quite transformed during the party, with raccoon coats flapping as members of the class performed the Charles- ton, delivered monologues and brought forth those hidden thespian talents. Looking forward to our remaining years at A.C.P., we shall strive for the utmost in knowledge as we advance toward our ultimate goal. Cheers to the Seniors! 74 Seated: R. Rozek, R. McDonald, B.

Thanks to the Dean, the professors and the upperclassmen, we didn’t remain in this state too long. To the sophomores goes a special word of thanks for the “get acquainted” party they gave us. The class has benefited by the fine leadership of our class officers, who are: Frank LaPluma, president; Richard Volk, vice-president; Eleanor Woodcock, secretary; William Eccles, treasurer; Stephen Maloney, historian. Under their leadership and the guidance of Don Abrahams, we put on a musical show in the form of a Broadway review. It gave us all a chance to work together and really get acquainted, and what a thrill it was for us all. Most of the class members took an active part in the school activities. We were well represented on the basketball team, the cheerleaders, the glee club, A.Ph.A., and the various other activities. Many of us joined fraternities or sororities in February. And now, at the close of our freshman year, we look back with fond memories of our first year of college life with a great deal of joy, and look forward to next September when we will return as sophomores. 76 Seated: M.

Composed of the president and vice-president of each class, the student council started the year with the election of officers. Gus Dobish received chairmanship honors and Doyle was elected secretary. As in the past years, we have had many duties to perform, with the advice and keen judgment of Dean O’Brien, our task seemed much easier. In the line of decisions, the student budget was drawn up, subject to approval by each student. A project we could hardly wait to complete was the attainment of a permanent trophy case. The selection of the yearbook editor-in-chief and of his staff proved to be quite a challenge, with Walter Graef being chosen as the best man for the executive posi-. don. Each and every problem that we have faced during the year has been carefully considered and dealt with for the well being of the Albany College of Pharmacy student body. 80 R. Stote. P. Murray, K.

Welch The American Pharmaceutical Association is a national organization dedicated to the protection of public health and advancement in the prevention and treatment of dis- ease through the medium of the pharmaceutical profession. With this goal in mind, the student branch at A.C.P. was initiated in 1949. Throughout the school year of 1958-1959, the branch has offered many educational opportunities for the advance- ment of its members. These included the guided tour through the pharmacy department of Winthrop Labora- tories; the talk by Dr. John McShefferty of Glasgow, Scot- land, on Pharmacy in Great Britain; and the visit of Dr. William S. Apple, assistant to Dr. Fishchelis, secretary of the national A.Ph.A. On the other side, the annual spa- ghetti dinner in February and the installation banquet in May gave us a chance to practice the social graces required of a professional person. To the graduating class of 1959, the A.Ph.A. extends its heartiest congratulations and hopes for a successful future. Chemical Seated: Dr. Ewart, B. Segelin, E. Bogdanski, H. Margolius, R. Stole, T.

American The success of our students who participated in the area chemical symposium, held at Siena College in the spring of 1958, prompted the formation of a student affiliate to the American Chemical Society. Under the direction of President Bob Stote and our faculty ad- visor, Dr. Ceresia, our organization was formed, and a charter of affiliation obtained from the national headquarters. The purposes of the A.C.S. are: to provide the student with a means to gain an insight into the professional side of a career in chemistry; to afford the members the opportunity of developing their scientific knowledge to a beneficial and practical end and to secure experience in the preparation and presentation of technical material. It is also our desire to provide the student who has a special interest in chemistry a means of communication with the chemical world by subscription to the society’s weekly magazine, and an oppor- tunity to participate in the annual chemical symposium held in the tri-city area. Our participation in the 1958 symposium was rewarded by the presentation to the A.C.P. library, by the area senior A.C.S. group, of a volume, on atomic energy. It will be the aim of the student A.C.S. to uphold our reputation in the future, and to show others that the field of pharmaceutical chemistry is equally important and technically equivalent to the other fields of chemistry.

The Mortar and Pestle, published four times a year, is the official publi- cation of the students of Albany Col- lege of Pharmacy. Besides being a source of information and entertain- ment, our paper serves as a force for uniting the student body. It also pro- vides a show place for student talents in journalism, photography, and art. Thanks to the cooperation of the Camera Club, photographs were closely integrated with articles and contributed much to the appearance of the paper.

Newman Club The Newman Club has a very distinct position within the general structure of the university and college community. The educational process must assume a responsibility for all of the needs of the developing young man or woman, must be concerned with the many facets of mind and soul, of spirit and will, which go to make up the living human being. The university dedicated fundamentally to the discipline and cultivation of the mind, finds itself in a position where it must seek partners in its enterprise. Herein lies the function of the Newman Club—to act as a bridge. An organization to deepen the spiritual and enrich the temporal lives of its members, the Newman Club offers a balanced program of religious, intellectual, and social activities. It aims to educate the Catholic student so that be may be able to answer questions concerning basic moral concepts, responsibility, litera- ture, secrecy, justice, and their application to pharmacy and medical tecnnoiogv. 84 Besides educating the student with the elements of his religion, the Newman Club presents the opportunity for practicing it with other Catholic students. This year a monthly Communion Sunday was initiated, with students serving as altar boys and thus integrating them with the Mass. Another phase of Newman Club is to satisfy the social needs of the student. Early in the year a most interesting collection of slides was shown to the club on the subject of the Mass. In January, a skating and tobogganing party was held, climaxed with a hot-chocolate and donut “get-together”. Our year was ended with plans for a Graduates’ Baccalaureate Mass and a May Day parade. We wish to express our gratitude to our new chaplain, Father Murphy, and to our president, Nancy Welch, for their efforts in making this year such a success- ful and productive one. Seated: K.

Not only has the S.C.A. contributed to the religious aspects of our lives, but to the more tangible ones of our beings. Meeting together and discussing various problems that confront the average college student has meant much in the influencing of our lives. The topics dis- cussed varied from social and moral behavior to differences among all religions. Each of us, in our own particular way, has shared in that unity only religion can give. We have shared in joyous occasions, as well as serious ones. The annual S.C.A. Square Dance ahvays proved to be a great deal of fun. Many put aside their books and studies for this evening of enjoyment. Some of us proved to be experts at “allemanding” and “promenading.” The spring picnic was greatly enjoyed. A day of hot dogs, potato chips, and baseball games left everyone feeling a little weary, but nevertheless happy. The S.C.A. has enjoyed a spiritually fulfilling past year, and owes much of this success to our advisors, the Reverend Mr. Hughes, Dr. Ewart, and Prof. Binkley. This has been indeed a rewarding year for the Student Christian Association. 86 Glee Club Seated: S. Nicholson� J. Glassbrermer, L. Smith, H. Bcnway, D. Watson, N. Welch, N. Paulin, L. Conover, $.

Danna, J. Kallfelz, H. McLamb, L. Gifford, J. Cherry (pianist). As the college year nears its termination, we can not help but think back to all the pleasant times spent with the Glee Club. Last autumn, about forty people formed the group. Dotti Wat- son was elected general chairman; Cynthia Spagnoletti, secretary; Robert Casler, director. Later, Craig Johnson and Gene Hohen- stein assumed part of the responsibilities of direct- ing and leading the group. Practice sessions were often held in lecture rooms without the aid of a piano. Ordinarily the audi- torium was used with everyone occasionally braving the cold. Our Glee Club grew slowly, and when the Christ- mas program was presented, our group included almost fifty members. With the sweet smell of success still being felt after our first concert, plans were then made for the next presentation. The spring concert included show tunes and popular selections. In a small way, we have tried to bring the college a bit of happiness and joy through music. We hope that in future years others will carry on the Glee Club tradition and help this organization become a permanent part of our college life. 87 The Camera Club serves in many capacities throughout this college. For example, as in past years, the Mortar and Pestle, as well as the Alembic Pharmakon, can rely on photographs taken by Camera Club members. Not all of the members use the same type of equipment. Some of us use reflex, polaroid, or press cameras—while others use 35 mm. or movie cameras. For the beginners, instruction is provided by various means. Among these are films, field trips, and discus- sions. Tips on the operation, in addition to the development of the film for the best results, constitute a major portion of our work. During the year Dick Baylis has proved a very worthy presi- dent, and Professor Reed deserves many thanks for his generous service as advisor. 88 Left to right: R. Doyle, H. Margolius, B.

C. has been in existence for a relatively short period of time; horvever, both the member organizations and the student body at large have benefited from its inception. This past Fall the Council sponsored the fourth annual I. F. C. Dance. Equal credit must be extended to all four fraternities for making this dance the success it was. In December, due to the efforts of Art Kramer, a new affair was introduced at A.C.P. This “Homecoming Weekend’’ consisted of the annual alumni basket- ball game, followed by a ncvcr-to-be forgotten evening at the Kcnmore Hotel, where Elia Kayan Segelin produced and directed a hilarious satire on the faculty. All parts were played by seniors and the casting could not have been better. Under the chairmanship of Harry Margolius, and the full cooperation of all its member organizations, the Interfraternity Council augmented the extracurric- ular activities of A.C.P. to an admirable degree in 1958-59. 90 Seated: Prof. Hanmer, Prof. DeNuzzo, ' F'azzio, W.

Beta Delta Chapter of Kappa Psi, founded in 1910, has played a major role in our professional col- lege. The first professional pharmaceutical fra- ternity, Kappa Psi has become one of the largest. This past year has been a very eventful one, with the main interest focused on the Assembly Convention. Our dinner dance at Wolferts Roost Country Club proved to be a very successful affair, as was the freshman smoker at Dales. When spring showed its face, our Brothers could always be found on a picnic, with all the food •you could possibly eat. We wish to thank Professor Albert White for his fine work in making the Assembly Conven- tion such a success, and Professor Lauren Han- mer for his keen judgement and advice. To the graduating class of 1959, we extend our most profound good wishes for continued success. Sealed: E. Marcello, F. Damis, W. DePew, H. Gisondi, J. Dougherty, R. Hammecker, R. Elgie, R. Rozek.

Since our sorority came into existence in 1918, the girls have been able to get together and “have a ball.” Initiating our activities was the “Welcome Frosh Girls” party, soon followed by the much looked-forward-to Mother-Daughter banquet. On Founders Day, the “Lambs” created a colorful impression at A.C.P. with flowers of the sorori- tie’s colors. Also, the annual china mug sale was met with much enthusiasm, as was the bake sale. To keep up the tradition, we initiated many pledges into the realm of Lambda Kappa Sigma, and taught the meaning of our motto, “To be rather than to seem.” Sponsorship of the school picnic, as a member of the I.F.C., terminated our 1958-59 year as we commenced it—successfully. From all of the “Lambs”, congratulations and wishes of success to the depart- ing class of 1959. mm i Ss; Seated: Prof. Denegar, M. Taormina, M. Lotano, C. Chin, R. Stote, M.

Phi Delta Chi Phi Delta Chi was founded at the University of Michigan in 1883; forty-eight years later at A.C.P., the Alpha Theta Chapter came into existence. Although there was a period of inactivity during World War II, our chapter resumed its normal pursuits with the return of its members from the pressing circumstances. Finally, in 1951, Phi Delta Chi became a pharmaceutical fraternity exclusively. Previously, it had standing as an organization of chemistry and pharmacy. Again, as we look back over the year, we do so with a feeling of accomplish- ment. The capacities of the Brothers of Phi Dex, combined with the sage advice of Professor Dewell and Professor Lapetina, have produced a memorable year, comprised primarily of smokers and the annual Christmas Dance. The dance was held at the Sheraton-Ten Eyck and, as always, it was a sparkling affair. To the officers goes the satisfaction of a job well done. To our departing Brothers, Carl Chin and Joe Danna, and to the class of 1959 go our hearty congratulations and well wishes. 96 Seated: T. Sonilo, B. Hodcs, S. Markus, A. Kramer, H. Margolius, B.

Our thirty-eighth year as a chapter of’ the Rho Pi Phi International Phar- maceutical Fraternity has quickly passed, and the time of assessment has arrived. During the year, the frater- nity functioned well on both the social and professional levels. The thirteenth annual Campus Queen Dance, which was held at the Dewitt Clinton Hotel, proved once again to be the highlight of the social season. The outstanding success of the dance was attributed to the large attendance and the conviviality of those present. Socially, our other activities consis- ted of the annual Dinner Dance, which is given in honor of the new pledges, and several informal ‘‘smok- ers.” Professionally, our principal activi- ty was the Rho Pi Phi Leukemia Drive. The men of Rho Pi Phi un- selfishly donated their time and effort, and despite some early difficulties, proved the drive a conspicuous suc- cess by collecting thousands of dollars for this worthwhile charity. Not to go unmentioned is the rec- ognition brought to our chapter by the fraters who have achieved scholas- tic, athletic, and other success. All these aforementioned accom- plishments have served to make this past year a very successful one for the Beta Chapter of Rho Pi Phi. 98 Ki mmm in 11 SPORTS LARRY KASOFSKY COACH AL WHITE RALPH MANCINI PAUL KUCZA BOB TOOMAJIAN VINCE GRIMALDI HOWIE RUBINGER TONY CHIFFY DICK MARRA GARY WEINERT BILL ECCLES Each year the enthusiasm for basketball increases at Pharmacy. This past season was a perfect example of the spirit that a team and student body can eminate. As the season culminated, the varsity five had added the seventh winning season since Coach A1 White took the reins. The first semester included an impressive record of five wins and two losses. The losses were at the hands of Kings College and North Adams State Teachers. During the second semester Lady Luck turned the tables with injuries to starter Larry Kasofsky and sixth-slot man Vince Grimaldi. This, added to the fact that we faced some tough ad- versaries, resulted in a three-game slump for the Panthers, with bitter defeats by Pace College, North Adams State Teachers, and Castleton State Teachers. The spirit that lead the squad during the first semester was beginning to wane. With determination and the will to win, the team rallied on the February 27th week- end to decisively defeat both divisions of Connecticut to give us a winning season. Prominent members of the starting lineup included senior Ralph Mancini who ranked second in average rebounds and first in average points per game, junior Tony Chilly who scored in double figures to be second in average points per game while leading in assists, and freshman Howie Rubinger who starred with the highest rebound average and broke the school record in that area three different times. While our opponents scratched the scorebook tor an average of 61 points per game, Pharmacy regulars averaged 74 points per game and maintained an average of 28% for attempted field goals. i Commencement will cause the team to lose the valuable ser- vices of Chuck Leighton, a 6'2 secondary, and regular varsity charge Ralph Mancini, also 6'2 . However, Coach White added two freshmen to the starting lineups this season for added strength in the rebuilding process. These new men, both of whom exhibited fine ball-handling, are Howie Rubinger and Bob Toomajian.

Athletic Commission Behind every team is a coordinating group of sports enthusiasts who give time and energy to ensure a sea- son’s success. The responsibilities that the Athletic Commission assumes offer little glory and recognition, but do constitute an essential backbone to a sports program. During the school year, the highly active commission officiates at basketball practices, arranges transporta- tion and publicity, organizes pep rallies and victory parties, and records the team statistics. The intramural program for basketball and softball is conducted solely through the efforts of the commission, with awards and recognition for winning teams. This year, under the direction of chairman Frank Oliva, these silent ac- tivities have sparked student participation to a peak of support. The highlight of the season included entertainment and dancing planned as a welcome celebration for re- turning Alumni. The cooperation of the Interfraternity Council insured a successful evening. Bus trips have been most memorable. We have vivid recollections of a resourceful student body (under the supervision of the Commission) lifting snowbound Chuck Leighton, auto and all, back to the normal thoroughfare; and they said it couldn’t be done! The success of this season can be attributed not only to the sincere effort of the Commission, but also to the enthusiasm and support of the student bodv. 107 Intramural Basketball Kneeling: E. Lodge, J. Morris, F. Oliva. Standing: J. Rampe, W. Byrne, J. Walts, J. Palladino. After knocking on the door of success for two years, the 1957-58 Juniors (this year’s Seniors) emerged victorious with a winner’s trophy in the annual Intra- mural Basketball Tournament. Sparked by captain ‘Ole’ Joe Morris, the team played heads-up ball right up to the final seconds of the championship game against the Trotters, an independent team. The tournament saw seven teams participate, the most in its seven year history, with some seventy students involved. A pat on the back goes to Pete Murray, who ran the tournament, and to all the students who gave their time to officiate at these games. Intramural Softball As the sun begins to shine on Lincoln Park, plans are under way for the season when the male members of our school turn to softball. The Athletic Com- mission, under the direction of Frank Oliva, has been busy with rosters and schedules for the member teams. Kappa Psi, Phi Delta Chi, Rho Pi Phi, and four independent teams will compete on the diamond for the championship. Plans for this year also include a return match that will pit the seniors against faculty members. 108 1 ‘There must be a better “How old is that pie?’ way: Yes, it’s a problem.” “Did I autoclave those atesf” “I beg your pardon!” “Where’s Nancy, today?” rt ‘Think I’ll fly home tonight “Boring, isn’t it?” “Slow down Prof: “These notes look familiar.” “I think I’ve got it.‘ “It was nothing, really.’’ Wha’d you say?’’ What a shaft!'
