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.

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.

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. Treasurer 4; A.Ph.A. 1, 2, 3. 4: Mortar Pestle 3, 4, Circulation Manager 4; S.C.A. 3, 4; Camera Club 1, 2; Glee Club 4; Alf.mbic Piiar- makon Staff 4.
