PROF. LAWRENCE H. DALMAN: The often quoted C Join the bonds and you boys will never learnnj ping-pong and handball playing professor has affectionately been called daddy by his boys. He spoon-fed us organic chemistry be- cause, as he said himself, If I had a son at B.C.P. I would Want him to be taught like this. PROF. JAMES MILLS: Quietly, as you are using the ana- lytical balance, someone may sneak up behind you. He prob- ably has a crew-cut, wears glasses and possesses a Doctor- ate degree in Education. If you are doing something you shouldn't, you will get a minus 20 and have to give 50c to the Cancer fund. His lectures which covered subjects of philosophy and religion as well as chemistry were at times invigorating. PROF. JACK SOSINSKY: We were his virgin class and therefore hold a warm spot in his memories. He gave us a comprehensive insight into inorganic chemistry comparable to that given at the better liberal arts colleges in this area. It is a shame that the supercharged atmosphere in B.C.P. has perhaps made a nice guy so tough. Twenty-three

mm yy 25 ie i 1 PROF. BERL S. ALSTODT: He taught us a lot of chemistry, with time out for boobs, jackasses, and assorted forms of Dummies. We will never for- get the Boob Assignment he gave to most of us after the Midyear Exams. His philosophy throughout the Senior Year seemed to scare us into studying, and judging from the results, he did a very thorough job. K l if Twenty-two PROF. ELMER L. SARGENT: A professor in the truest sense of the word. A man, who by his very presence demands respect, not only because of his knowledge, but for the way he shares it with others. His method of teaching by associa- tion of ideas rather than by Chinese Memory is true educa- tion. Many just present material before you and expect you to grasp it, but it takes a pedagogue to teach you. PROF. COSMO LIGORIO: His name is presented in the brochure of the college suffixed by a multiplicity of degrees. In his course we were introduced to the scientific method of writing a report, determining the acoustics of a room, and most significant, memorizing a hundred or so standards. Per- haps if we would have had a few samples of his collection of fine liquor the course would have been even more enjoyable.

Cu Alftfdf COMPJQJ PROF, CHESTER L. RIESS: Professor Riess made the English course as pleasant and interesting as possible. His interpretations of some of the great works of English litera- ture were often quite revealing. Professor Riess is not only the head of the English Department, but is also a main figure in planning extra-curricular activities. He gave much assis- tance to our student council. Realizing his course was our last contact with cultural subjects, he tried to give us as broad a cultural background as possible. PROF. OTTO RHUMER: Professor Rhumer gave us a thorough background of World history which included every- thing from the dawn of time to the present century. Names such as Amenhotep, Queen Hatsheput, and Moksha will live long in our memories. Professor Rhumer is very well liked, both among the students and the faculty. His easy going, friendly, warm personality is the main reason for his popu- larity. He was recently entered into the Who's Who of Teaching, a well deserved tribute to the learned professor. MR. ABRAHAM CORNFELD: Outstanding mathematician, outstanding wit, Mr. Cornfeld not only knew all of our names the very first day of school, but to this day still remembers them. There was never a dull day in his course fexcept to a few repeaters who were familiar with the Cornfeld repetoir of anecdotesj. Mr. Cornfeld has a knack for teaching us math in an easy going manner, yet very efficiently. MR. ROBERT GREENBERG: A new addition to the English Department. Our class never came in contact with him in a formal discussion. Lot's of luck at B. C. P. Twenty-four
