Contained in this yearbook is a picture history of our four-year study at the school of pharmacy. The study of pharmacy has been a difficult one. There have been many trials and tribulations, but never-ceasing has been one major binding force — CLASS SPIRIT. The class of ' 59 will always be known for its healthy regard for tumult and study combined to just the right degree. The past is over but it will always remain in our memories and hearts. But what of the future? Our four-year studies have been climaxed in a Bachelor of Science degree. Most of us will be going into retail pharmacy, others into pharma- ceutical research or detailing, a few of us will be going into medicine. Our education has been a good one. Whatever field we go into, the Colum- bia pharmacists ' spirit, his innate friendly character, his serious yet jovial countenance, and most impor- tant his regard for his fellow man will carry him on to the greatest heights. To the 80 graduates of Columbia Pharmacy this book is presented. The past is over but will always be recalled in leafing through this book . . . the future is yours to share with us in later years. wisdom and timber both must be seasoned to draw full benefit from their use ... ■ (fii T m Yearbook of the Columbia College of Pharmacy Editor-in-Chief — Alvin Cohen APOTH Business Managers — Stanley Kleiner and Herbert Rosenzweig iKAN Editor-in-Chief Alvin Cohen Associate Editors Ronald Wecker Seymour Katz Business Managers Herbert Rosenzweig Stanley Kleiner Photography Editors Allan Chin Ira Abrams Pb ° o gran , A7 tors- -■All anCh ' Ira Ab, ■a ms STAFF FACULTY ADVISOR Dr. Lucy W.

Reprinted by permission of Bristol Laboratories Dedication PROFESSOR MICHAEL M. CLAY Faculty advisor to the IFC and faculty advisor to the Senior Class, Professor Clay has won the admiration and respect of all the members of the Senior Class. His keen sense of humor and wit ' glided ' instead of pushed Pharmacology down our throats, and at the end we could say it tasted good. Mike ' s geniality made him well liked out- side the classroom as well as in, and in ' 59 he was made an honorary member of AZO fraternity. Professor Clay is also a brother of Kappa Psi. For sincerity and friendship may fu- ture classes derive as much from contact with Mike as we have. ? «s% «  ■ DR. GRAYSON KIRK ,c s - ■C- . oi v stf?

As the teacher of freshman chemistry, Ma did much in making life as easy as possible as we went through the hectic and very long first year at CUCP. Though she never forgot to give a test, her fairness and understanding and willingness to help anyone who needed it, if they wanted it or not, endeared her to us all. We remember also her quiet smile and encouragement as we fumbled through lab, laying the foundation for our next three years. M. IRENE BAILEY In a little corner of the sixth floor lab, there stands the office of Dr. DiSomma, lover of Organic Chemistry, warm Pepsi Cola and Greek words. If the 42nd street library doesn ' t have it, it ' s in DiSomma ' s office. There was always an empty chair to sit on whether it be for a ques- tion on chemistry, or just for a quiet chat on ambitions, likes or dislikes. It ' s not often that a professor will confess that he knows little about a subject, and then go out and spout knowl- edge like a veteran, but that was our Biochemis- try course. The Krebs Cycle and our Organic Projects will never be forgotten. AUGUST A. DI SOMMA If you ' re ever in Organic lab and you see a man carrying around a fire extinguisher, that would be Mr. Jacobs. As a lab instructor he is tops, and no matter how stupid the question or how hopeless the crud in our test tube, he would always come up with an answer. His wit and unperturbed manner, as we tried to blow the top off the school, quickly labeled him as a good guy. He was always ready with the bicarb to neutralize our spilled acid; burn oint- ment when we bent glass tubing; plenty of bandages when we tried to push the glass through corks. We ' re going to miss his smile and cynical outlook. 12 ALLEN JACOBS !3 SAMUEL S. LIBERMAN The one man in the world who can see ions in a clear solution without the use of tests, Prof. Liberman as our Qual and Quant Prof, contributed much to the confusion on which the world of chemistry is based. What most of us did take out of his course was a knowledge of accuracy and precision, and a feeling of care- fulness which will stand us in good stead as we venture behind the Rx counter. His multi- colored exams and F ' s will never be forgotten. His personal care for each student, over and beyond official duty, is the reason there will be a soft spot in our hearts for a true friend, Prof. Sam. CHEMISTRY Who is Prof. Taub and what does he teach? This is a question asked by not only the other classes but the seniors as well. He is the eldest member on the faculty and the most sprightly at the school dances ala Arthur Mur- ray. Prof. Taub, in the short time we had to- gether, exemplified interest and good humor as he aided us through a maze of Organic deter- minations or, better still, how to use a separation funnel in the determination of water. When you can find him, there is always a smile on his face. 13 Everybody knows the rose, of course they do these words and many more come from one man, our own little flower, Prof. Pokorny. A man truly dedicated to his chosen profession, his sincerity and willingness to teach us about his flowers and herbs in Botany and Pharma- cognosy even made those with hay fever sit up and listen. With eyes full of reverence, he would see more than just a dead leaf or a crumpled stem in our petri dish. Yes, even his stories and slides taken in the wilds of Canada, and all over our great land will long be temembered. FRANK J. POKORNY BIOLOGY The Sweetheart of Sherwood Forest was seen often during our sojourn through the plant kingdom. When she could not be there in per- son, we could observe her in technicolor slides uprooting digitalis, trapping cantharides beetles, or helping daddy-o-Youngken over stone walls. It was felt that Francoise was the person that added life to the Pharmacognosy labs. Although she denied it, we all felt that she was the one that put the note in the black mustard saying Kosher for Passover. Her tireless voice added much to our knowledge of botany and pharma- cognosy and to our general fatigue. 14 This is a Crustacean boomed out across the room and the first row strained forward to catch it. Zoology and Physiology finally came and went, and we were all the wiser. With the smell of the formaldehyde permeating our clothing we probed deeply into the beginning of life. Prof. Staud was always nearby to guide our hands and give us a smile and a little laugh as we fumbled our way through a frog ' s in- testine. Two thousand frogs later and many frogs ' legs, we bid her a fond farewell, hoping that she got a good price from the Hankburger for the legs. MARGARET C. STAUD It is amazing how a person so busy with school affairs can find the time to teach, but that ' s what Prof. Clausen does, and, in her own words the seven points for Microbiology will not be given away. A woman dedicated to her chosen field, her comprehensive notes would set a Medical college course to shame, and, given at the rate of six pages an hour, sometimes we wished we were taking a simple course like medicine. Her quick wit and personality quickly won us over, and we will always be grateful for the knowledge of how to get rid of our mothers-in-law by using one of her little friends. In the brief ti me that Prof. Clay could tear himself away from his real love, rats, he showed us that he had many varied interests. Chief among these were quick-freezing of rats, squeezing rat kidneys, and rat. electrocution. We remained calm as he became ecstatic over Par- kinsonism. We said not a word when he ex- tolled upon the virtues of hypertension and only a very few of us are left without permanent scars from his glowing verbal picture of acute nicotine poisoning. But the man was sincere and we respect sincerity no matter on what psychological level. To you Prof. Clay: cyanosis . . . Japanese farewell . . . LUCY W. CLAUSEN Prof. Weingold gave us our first taste of Pharmacy, in fact a great big bite. If the syrup doesn ' t drown you, the solutions will. But he smiled as he conveyed to us the wonder of the allegation, and smiled still more as he opened the door to low, medium and Hie! high alcohol percentages. The ubiquity of smiling Willie gave us the incentive to learn how to conceal a towel in a lab coat during a practical, and how to lick a label while appearing to blow one ' s nose. In addition to being an able professor, the FBI is after him to find out his method for finding fingerprints on bottles where there weren ' t any before. WILLIAM WEINGOLD In teaching us the new, improved Junior dispensing course, Dr. Dashowitz ' s glibness, fine delivery, and excellent sense of humor helped put across many new and complex ideas to the sea of blank faces that so often confronted him. Four hours weekly, the crude techniques carried over from Tech lab were polished and buffed to a high sheen. In addition to dispensing, he showed us his versatility and ability to fill in at all positions when he unraveled Tales of Emulsions and Colloid theory while teaching the first half of our Physical Pharmacy course, better known as Science Fiction II. BARRY H DASHOWITZ Though the dean was kept busy -most of the time outside of school, he did manage to meet with our class and display to us his large knowledge of pharmacy. No school could ask for nor boast of a finer dean, and we as students are most sorry to leave his domain. He has done much to spread the good name of Columbia Pharmacy throughout the land and his untiring efforts in soliciting funds for the new building have made us proud of him. We will always remember the snow storm when he called off classes because he couldn ' t make it in from Long Island. 16 E. EMERSON LEUALLEN The class was very glad to take Prof. Chav- kin ' s course. It was the one course in the junior year that enabled us to broaden ourselves and become the well rounded individuals that we as professional men were supposed to be. While he stressed the virtues of the rectangular shaped store and the clean front, we learned much for our furure in Pharmacy. Prof. Chavkin ' s slow easy going style was just the tonic we needed to carry us through the mid-afternoon slump. We awoke refreshed ready to meet the rigors of the long subway rides ahead. For sale; one management book, as good as new. LEONARD T. CHAVKIN PHARMACY At the beginning of the sophmore year we met the Wizzard from the west coast. Although his frame was slight, his exams were big. As we traveled the next three years with him, gingerly stepping over benzene rings and dodging p orbitals, we found ourselves liking the man more and more. Each lecture in his particular version of science fiction theatre was a traumatic emotional experience. Mr. Wizzard is well liked and certainly much respected. What more a professor could wish for we do not know, except to have a class full of Greenblatts . . . Hoo Hah. 17 The Mr. Continental of CUCP, and man of many faces. Prof. Kanig came into our lives during the senior year with two strikes already against him. The year before had taught us all we had to know for most of his dispensing courses. Nonetheless he did manage to keep the classes attention during lectures with his somewhat devious methods — such as the dreaded list and sometimes just plain stares. As the year marked the entrance of a new member to his family, we did learn much about home- making and what those high priced baby prod- ucts really are made of. JOSEPH L. KANIG Experiments Orga As he stomped his way to and fro, leaning slightly to one side under the weight of wood on his shoulder, Mr. Kavaler every once in a while managed to get some law over to the class whenever he wasn ' t telling us to be quiet and to stop hissing. Throughout the entire course he covered more than 100 miles, prob- ably due to the fear that a man who stays in one place offers a better tatget. His course was one in which if you took your allowed number of cuts, it counted against you. With the words Just wait till you ' ll need me for legal advice, we bid him a very sad farewell. We were fortunate to come into school at the same time that Dr. Lipman made ready his first full year at CUCP as teacher of Phil- osophy. No sooner did we enter his classroom but that Plato and Aristotle immediately made us think for a change. Teaching like a veteran of twenty years ' experience, Dr. Lipman did much in making us the well rounded individuals that pharmacists are supposed to be. Through his efforts, a Fine Arts course was added to the curriculum of our Sophomore year, and a little culture was forced down our throats. To be sure we will never be the worse for it. Though the world wasn ' t quite ready for Mr. Levin ' s brand of humor, we at CUCP were. Among the information taken out of our con- tact with this remarkable personality was the facr that celery was good for the nerves and blue shirts are really useful for television. Though we had our fun, somerimes ar the expense of each other, we did manage to learn and im- prove our English via his original teaching methods. Those with any creative ability at all were finally discovered. His cynicism and wry outlook made our short stay with him very en- joyable and also made the Freshman year pass just a little faster. 19 As our, Mr. Numbers he blazed the rrail for us through complex algebra and simple calculus. While the syndicate rallied cries of Simba and graph boards tumbled from the walls, we nonetheless, managed to gain a firm understanding of math. Always available to students in need of help, he gave willingly of his time and knowledge. Hyperbolas and ellipses passed and lo, the entire picture of outer space became clear. We shall always remember his friendliness, sincerity, his blue suit, and hand painted ties, and all the extra points on exams for just the problem number. Remember it ' s in da boook! AARON FLESHLER Affectionately called Mister Samios by his opponents of the class of ' 59, he was faced with the ofttimes thankless task of transfusing to us elementary physics. How he did this and still managed not to make any king sized ene- mies is a good question. Possibly it was his sincere desire to get the point across that made- his lectures interesting to some of us and at least bearable to the rest of the herd. Physics did break up our day nicely; and it was on the Columbia campus. To many, the most interest- ing part of the course was the fact that a little button opened and closed the window shades. NICHOLAS SAMIOS George Horowitz or not George Horowitz, that was the question. Whether ' twas nobler in the law than in accounting. . . . Both the abstract- ness of law and the definiteness of accounting fell upon us as the scattered reign from the campus. Amidst the low flying planes and the soft echoes of dixie, it was only his good humor that managed to get some smidgen of his subject over to us. Luckily, the Colonel from the South was an easy going guy. None of us will ever forget the meaning of a fiduciary relationship nor forget his slow easy going delivery . . . sho nuff. GEORGE F.

COUNCIL The Student Council in the College of Pharmacy consists of elected represen- tatives from the several classes. It cooperates with and is resp onsible to the Com- mittee on Student Activities in the supervision of the interests and activities of the Student Body . . . CUCP Bulletin. The council is composed of two elected repre- sentatives from each class except the seniot class which is represented by three individuals. In addition there are several ex-officio members representing the various organizations which the council sponsors. According to the Council ' s constitution the purpose of the Student Council of C.U.C.P. shall be to promote full under- standing and coopetation among the students, faculty, and administration. Accord- ingly the council ' s activities are many and varied. One of them is the planning and carrying out of the many dances that we have come to enjoy and look forward to, the boat ride, and the Senior Class show. Others include intra-mural sports and financial support of the Anoydne and Apothekan. The class of ' 59 has had the good fortune to have good men and women in office and has reaped the pleasure of their administrarion. To all of the members of the class of ' 59 who, at one time or other, have served on the Student Council, we thank you. 25 ANOWHE sity, College of Pharmacy Associate and Exchange Editors — left-right: Tom Simon, Steve Kling- hoffer, Jerry Wolfe.

The intellectual barrier was thor- oughly crashed when the future members of the class of ' 59 took the pharmacy aptitude exam. In ad- dition to these results, a series of interviews by faculty members of a group of renowned boy autobiogra- phers were instrumental in round- ing out the class of ' 59- On September 7th, ' 55, the ac- tivities of our freshman year com- menced with a luncheon and a tour of the building. A building in which we have spent many hours and one in which we have undergone many frustrations and disappointments only to subsequently realize the ful- fillment of certain hopes and aspira- tions. As freshman we often found ourselves in conflict with Morpheus, as he tried to carry us into his realm during one of Dr. Lipman ' s lectures. But there were those of us who were awake and vibrant, seeking those mystical answers which have eluded philosophers from time im- memorial. English, a language which could only have been made tolerable by master cynicism, was taught by the most talked about T.V., celery earing, celebrity, Mr. Levin. Chemistry was the nemesis, the unpenetrable barrier, the serpent in the garden, in short the greatest pit- fall lying between the freshman and sophomore years. Problems, proper- ties, equations, reactions, lab exams, and more problems, resulted in many a sleepless night. Then there was the deluge of review sheets and study sheets which had engulfed and overwhelmed us by mid-semester. As if this was not enough, Profes- sor Bailey maintained strict segre- garion by seating the class accord- ing to grades, during examinations. Mr. Fleshier in whose class we pondered the mysteries of mathe- matics will be best immortalized by the word gibben. In spite of all the kidding, Mr. Fleshier main- 32 FRESHMAN YEAR tained an air of fairness and con- geniality which was far more char- acteristic of him. Perhaps the great- est scientific quest of the freshman year was the search for an acceptable wash bottle. Those of us who with- stood the poisonous gases and caus- tic acids of chem lab, found our fingers seared as we attempted to produce a suitable glass bend. De- spite the difficulties encountered in this course, we will always remem- ber Prof. Bailey, whose kind under- standing and sincere interest were essential in paving and illuminating the way to many a successful college career. Zoology was the course in which each lecture seemed to be a Water- loo and each exam took on the aspects of a small scale Pearl Har- bor. However in the end, after final counts had been taken, the mortality rate was rather low except for per- haps the frogs. Who will ever for- get the practicals, at which pieces of string were attached to nothing. The course which made one of the deepest impressions during the frosh year was Botany. I think that we shall all have a bit of the botan- ist in us; for it is impossible to take this course at CUCP without some of Frank J ' s good natured enthusi- asm rubbing off. Professor Pokorny was probably faced with the great- est challenge of his teaching career, as he was forced to lecture above the noises arising from the construc- tion of the new post office across the street. However, the light of knowledge prevailed as some eighty odd embryo botanists emerged. And so we arrived at the end of our freshman year with a strong feeling of accomplishment even though the nine month ordeal left us weary and haggard. But we were much the wiser for our experience and many of us had made a great step forward toward the fulfillment of our prime hopes and desires. . . 33 SOPHOMORE Having tacked up a year of col- lege experience, the class of 59 , weaker in numbet but stronger in spirit, proceeded to part II in the metamorphosis from student to pharmacist. At last we were doing phar- macy. Professor Weingold, or Hiro- hito Willie as he was affectionately called as a result of those lovely exams he gave, introduced us to the wotld of pharmacy. Licking labels, q.s. ' ing in a bottle, and most of all, fingerprints, wete now sttictly taboo. Percolation, desiccation, maceration, levigation, and frustration; all these wete made familiar to us. With the able assistance of Jock (he smokes L M ' s and likes scotch), Sweets Wasserman, and Jack Michaelson, Professor Weingold instilled in us the foundation in pharmacy which we later found to be invaluable. Barium, zinc, iron, cyanide, or potazzzium? Which was it? Again and again we tried to determine our unknowns in qual. lab, but usually to no avail. Even the best cooks, plumbers, carpenters, and shoemak- ers in the class couldn ' t find out. Yet, all Professor Sam had to do was hold the unknown up to the light, tilt back his glasses, look, and he had the answer. The good ptofessor ' s qualitative technique shall always remain as the mystery of the ages. Adventures into the world of physics were also afforded us this year. . . . Who ever figured that the guy with the horn rimmed glasses and crew cut was our instructor? The automatic window shades were the most interesting part of the course. . . . Wasn ' t traveling by secret passages (tunnels) an ex- perience in itself? . . . Cigarette packs and empty watch cases made excellent storage space for refer- ence sheets, didn ' t thev? Two and two are five; seven 34 S . t $ i j| $ YEAR minus three is ten; four times one is five . . . and so went the pharm. calc. course. It was here that we had our first glimpse of Soldier Barry, who assisted Professor Wein- gold in brainwashing us to the ex- tent that at the end of the course we really believed that one dram ( Vi ounce) was really five mis (1 6 ounce, or a teaspoonful.) Oh well, we never did understand that too well anyhow! ! ! Debits on the left, credits on the right, or is it the other way around? The answer to this question is still a mystery. Let ' s face it, we ' ll never be accountants. Concerning the law portion of Pharmaceutical Econo- mics 1, presided over by the won- der from the South, George Horo- witz, there is one thing which was never explained, and here it is now: — FIDUCIARY — confident; steady; undoubting; unwavering; firm. Curtain is going up in five min- utes. Take your seats please, for the Science Fiction Theater is on the air, and so began our education in organic chemistry, Professor Louis Malspeis presiding. We learned about orbitals. electrons, bonding and speed writing. Also included in the course were fire setting (doesn ' t ether burn well?) and extinguish- ing (how the devil do you work those fire extinguishers? .... whoosh! ) . For many of us, this course gave us the opportunity to have a D or F placed on our records to break up the monotony of fairly decent grades. The last of our sophomore year courses was a come if you want party. This course was intended to give us an insight into pharma- ceutical associations and journals such as the APhA Journal, Drug Topics, The Atlantic Apothecary, and Playboy. At least it gave us a chance to meet and see the Dean of C.U.C.P. 35 JUNIOR This is the Junior year, you all know the junior year. The year characterized by postponements and cancellations, heavens knows if pos- sible we would have canceled the entire year. As the term got under way we were told we were already four weeks behind. The sadists had their fun, by decreasing the frog population of the U. S. It was differ- ent seeing headless frogs jumping about the lab. Then we had those organic chemistry projects involving weeks of preparation and heartaches — the projects still uncompleted. No one was able to synthesize Pepsi Cola, but we did learn how to make ester, we also got our dose of Science Fiction. We proved by means of cal- culus, which we all knew, that water stands on end, that pressures build up backwards and plotted time against space. We will also be the only Reologists in the U. S. (besides being colloid chemists). We made our first prescriptions, with accuracy, without licking labels or qs ' ing into bottles, and always balanced our balance. Practicals, no worry, just like being in the drugstore. The boss should have had such a day. We, the class of 59, were the first to have the honor of having Bio- chemistry. Our luck, we were shown the complicated and complex struc- tures of the various chemicals found in the body, and we were all experts on the Krebs cycle. We all knew the belladonna, of course we did, and all the other ancient plants of pharmacy. Now, which 36 YEAR drug looked like noodles, or was it bits of gold? Well, whatever it was we could stare a plant in the face and call it a name. What would you do if someone said to you, Make me a drugstore, before the Junior year you would have said pooff you ' re a drugstore! But today you would say, 30 inch shelves, 12 inch aisles, counter here, fixtures there, you were taught, remember! We will never forget the balance room which was kept at STP. No heavy breathing, though humor reigned high. Accur- acy and precision were the key words. Some of us spent the semester getting to constant weight, others watching the swing of the rider, or being reprimanded for having too high or too low flames, but most of us searched high and low for the finagle factor, the magic number, the key to the problem, and the end to those sleepless nights. Great news, open book tests, should be a cinch. Results, Red F ' S, Blue F ' S, borderline F ' S, high and low F ' S. Reason, there is no such thing as an A student. Blood pres- sures reached their highest levels the last week of the year when a notice calling in all chemistry Lab books was posted. Last but not least was one of our most stimulating courses, Contem- porary Pharmacy, in which for one hour each week (when convenient) the lecturer would delight us in the plights of pharmacy. 37 STERLING WINTHROP Rensselaer, NY. January 20-21, 1958, VVarner-Lambert Morristown, N.J., April 3, 1958 w  The top rung of the ladder, it was a long fight, and we made it. We showed our superiority in brain power, political power, and re- arranging schedule power. We had our laughs, our parties, trips and many hard tests, and we loved it all, we were Seniors. Microbiology delighted us to no end. We were told to beware of the various microbes, but to go right along, if we didn ' t bite them, they wouldn ' t bite us. We enjoyed playing with fire and our mothers and wives should have seen us washing dishes, and cooking up the strangest broths. Try as we may, it was against our way of life to segregate those little microorgan- isms. We were also frightened and appalled to learn of all the diseases we could get no matter where we turned or what we ate. We also became analysts. We learned how to make sure our nar- cotics were up to par. We enjoyed doing assays on assays. We cali- brated weights, fingerprints and all other items that may have been a source of error, so we could use our ' finagle ' factor in order to compute our results. It was delightful to get back into the balance room again, a room of charm and mystery, where everyone forgets himself and the place fills with a holiday atmos- phere with jokes, laughing and singing. We were glad to know a way in which we would be able to prove to our worthy customers that the schlock brands are really schlock. Our Organic Medicinals was a course in structure building, speed- writing and memorization. This course gave us laughs and chuckles, as well as feelings of anxiety and apprehension. We had our big- gest exams with biggest fears, but who worried, everyone passed. It was exciting to learn that by just moving one group or adding a bond here or there we could make our million dollars. We were also honored as being the first to dabble in Atomic Pharmacy. Our tales of fish and whiskey will always be remembered, as well as the hours in which we discussed and displayed our talents, problems, and all other seniorly activities. Thanks to Schmiedeberg and all our accumulated points we did well SENIOR YEAR in Pharmacology. We learned about all the physiologic disorders the human body is able to bear, and in slow motion too. This was one course where you really had to be on your toes, for no one ever knew who would be called on next to recite impromptus. A lesson learned was to take things easy, or else, stress diseases you know. The sec- ond semester brought us into the laboratory with little white mice at our mercy, aside from other adven- tures in ' you too can be a patho- logical case. ' The highlight of course, was the cessation or sup- posed cessation of smoking by the rwo pack a day men. Best of all we liked the slow pace and the many useful and practical things we learned. Now we know why Mrs. Jones takes those pills. We also had our run in with the law, where we were prohibited in doing all the things a college stu- dent is entitled to do. Hissing was definitely out. Most of all we en- joyed our sneak and surprise tests. But, nothing is too much when you take a picayune course. Our group discussions on ' social problems of the day, ' kept every delightful hour in constant activity, uproar, sus- pense, humility, sensitivity, and any other possible emotions. We learned never to lock up our girl friends and how to be constitutional and what every good pharmacist should know. Last but not least, we shall always remember our Pharmacy course. Aside from learning how to make our girl friends beautiful, we were also taught that every girl loves the smell of a stinking slob. That is how we will get our wives. We also spent some time reiterating the curriculum of our Junior year. Best of all we enjoyed being able to formulate and devise different phar- maceutical products which enabled us to use our education, and im- magination, to come up with new products. We will always remember our ' expert on pharmacy and per- sonal relations. We shall also never forget our State Boards. Now that our four year holiday is over, we have a more important step to take. Our furure and the future of pharmacy is in our hands. Best of luck to all of us and may our star be forever shining. ELI LILLY CO.

What did we give to the fraternity during this time? Whar did we gain which we may keep with us always? Friendship! Brotherly love! Togetherness! Call it what you may. It was something solid, something we could pin down. It was the things we could not see that meant the most, things we did unselfishly. As we progressed through school, and as we now progress rhrough life, nothing changes. Our frater- nal bonds are just the same. Just time rearranges. The brothers we knew have grown in years. We have shared their blessings and shared their tears. One ' s heart must be with friends we know. We only harvest the things we grow. We ' ve many feelings concerning our fraternity, but deep in our hearts we ' ve a feeling of security and well be- ing. Why? Because we have made many friends. More than friends, we have brothers. So as we approach the hill top and watch the sun descend, we can close our eyes and pray to God we have a lot of friends. Friend ...

True to this spirit; it incorporates, within its ranks, members of the three healing arts, Pharmacy, Medicine, and Dentistry. Founded at the Brooklyn College of Phar- macy in 1914 DST ' s Alpha Chapter was soon followed by the formation of Delta Chapter at CUCP. The Fraternity is now international in scope and has separate chapters for each of the three professions it encompasses. Now in its fortieth year, DST is an ever growing organization. We are pleased to welcome our new brothers of Phi Chapter, at Hampton College of Pharmacy, Mass. This new dynamic chapter of DST was incorporated into our ranks at the DST convention at Long Beach, L. I. this year. As brothers in a truly non-sectarian fraternity the members of DST point with pride to its con- stitution, which states that an applicant ' s race or religion shall have no bearing on his qualifications for membership. Our only prerequisite for mem- bership are that the applicants embrace one of the three professions of the healing arts, and that he have the purposes and ethics of his profession both at heart and in mind. Proud of its fine reputation, the members of Delta chapter pledge themselves to follow their fraternity ' s traditions of service to their brothers, their school and their community. 52 DELTA SIGMA THETA BROTHERS Dave Bartner Larry Blank Dick Botta Luke Cataggio George Cordiale Myron Dworkin Jay Eickner Jerry Elpant Tony Gatruso Flem Goolsby Paul Honig Ed Hummel Leon James Steven Klinghoffer Jack Lazarus Bill Levine Frank LoBasso Guy Marocco Irv Meyers Lee Nackman Ken Nager Harvey Portnoy Kenneth Rimer Charles Scott Norman Shapiro Gene Siegel Sam Stephens Irwin Stern Barry Wladkowsky FACULTY BROTHERS Professor Barry Dashowitz Professor Frank Pokorny Professor Samuel Liberman Professor Michael Clay Professor Louis Malspeis Professor Leonard Chavkin Professor Joseph Kanig Professor Abraham Taub 53 OFFICERS Chancellor Seymour Schechter Vice-Chancellor David A.

Gamma Chapter marked the beginning of professional fraternalism in Phar- macy, with its birth at New York College of Pharmacy in November, 1898. The objectives of the fraternity are to gather together, in fraternal union, those pers ons of good character and keen interest, to promote the ethics of professional pharmacy and to aid its members in their education and social advancement. Kappa Psi is proud of its members many of whom are deans and professors at the colleges of pharmacy. Dean Leuallen and Dr. M.

Dick, member of the Chinatown luncheon asso- ciation, will always be remembered for the moans and groans heard from one corner of the room after the two hour breaks on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Our old married man was often charley-horsed. though a great softball and basketball star. (He told us so himself. ) These pains were infrequent as his wife. Judy, was very handy with the liniment. Dick ' s plans include Dental School. Shelly the man of the twilight sleep, will be best remembered for sleeping through more classes than anyone else. He ' s a great enthusiast of progres- sive jazz and has an extensive record collection. Shelly comes from a long line of pharmacists but it looks as if he ' s going to break the tradition, and continue his education in Dentistry school. A free thinker, his belief that whispering should be allowed in the library has got him into much hot water with the librarian, (who likes tea). Concepcion Bonamusa Gonzales etc., etc., other- wise known as Conchita, has the spirit and vitality inherent in all Catalans. Having obtained her Doc- torate in Pharmacy at the University of Barcelona, Conchita joined our class in the Sophomore year and immediately became one of the best liked people in the class. She is known as the creator of ' Liquid Atomic Bombs ' and other interesting concoctions which have the power of making one feel great even before Organic medicinal exams. Ethical Al to his friends, and Hudson ' s delegate to C.U.C.P. Al brought many a chuckle to rhe class of 59 after defending an unanswered affront on Hud- son.

At last the truth comes out. As Mike gaily went from lab to lab burning lab coats, we learned that Mike made two bits on a coat. He had the distinguished position as head of the CUCP New York Hockey Fan Club. Interpreter of Chinese menu ' s, behind the scene politician, Mike is the only senior, who during his four years of school, only had to shave for practicals. Amy always had a joke or funny line, and once or twice during the past four years someone has laughed. That ' s not a very good percentage but at least Amy tried to keep us young and happy. External youth and cheer might well be Amy ' s motto and no one can doubt that he has tried to spread it to all of us.

He spread the joys of the culinary artistry of China- town and the fish stories of Croton reservoir through- out the class. Al also doubled as manager of the class athletic teams. Al was one of the Senior married men and his wife, Betty, may have had to put up with plenty when Al brought a crowd home.

It was the great fortune of the class of ' 59 to have Al to take care of any and all tasks and problems that period- ically cropped up. Thus Al wound up running every- thing that needed to be run, and for that we are grateful. All these busy doings did not keep Al from staying up at the top of the class scholastically.

Jorge is one of the most honest and easy going individuals ever to grace the halls of CUCP.

Her tenure at CUCP has made her many lifelong friends both male and female. Friendliness and sweet- ness are the essence of this fair young lady pharmacist. As the chief reference for translation of Greek words and sayings, Penny ' s blank expression endeared her to us all. Dutch DeWilde, our sober bartender, brought the old college spirit to CUCP. Leader of the tumult committee, and a Furnald Fighter, Dutch led the charge onto the hallowed halls of Barnard. This was later explained by Jerry as I admired fine linen!

Myron, one of the fastest men in the dispensing lab. can whip up a batch of troches, pastilles, supposi- tories and pills before you can say Octylphenoxy polyethoxyethanol U.S.P. He was undoubtedly the best chatt hanger Mama Staud ever had. Last January, Myron and his lovely fiance Shirley were married and now live happily in an apartment in the Bronx. Our nose flute virtuoso, rhe class collyria was always around to give an impromptu concert. This quiet budding pharmacist demonstrated his song during one of Prof. Malspeis lectures. The shouts of encore, encore, almost dissuaded Lar from finishing his Pharmacy career, but his application to Juilliard was turned down. The Fels, our own black cloud, helped get the trapped stockman out from behind the black- board. Irv is renowned for almost winning a little piece of Eli Lilly at the pool table. Amidst the noise of the chipmunk song, Irv was heard to mumble, What, me worry?! We ' re sure that nobody will forget the remarkable spontaneous gems of hilarious wisdom Irv was responsible for.

Daddy Ted deserves the respect of all of us for his perseverance in overcoming tremendous obstacles in getting his education. Ted was one of those vets always getting cute notes from Myrtle. One of our married men, Ted can be pictured huddled in a smoky corner thirty seconds before an exam pouring over mimeoed sheets, only to discover he had just studied the wrong subject. Ted says his future phar- macy will feature a complete ' Baby Line. ' The Garf, martini and expectorant magnate, always seemed to have been missing a few weekends (the lost variety.) Head of the CUCP temperance league, Garf was our master politician. Marty had the uncontested honor of being the only Senior to have a charming lady chauffeur waiting for him at the end of class. This lovely lass, Carolee, needless to say was slightly related to Garf by marriage. THEODORE E. FLEISHER MARTIN H. GARFINKEL RONALD M. GITTESS HARVEY GLASS Fraier A.E.P Ron Grittess was the famed roommate of Walter Merlitz. Ronny has been privileged to live amongst the Ivy population of the Columbia campus. He is a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi, a top notch frat on the campus. Though a quiet chap in class, Ronny has achieved scholastic notability. Upon graduation from Columbia he will attend New York University Dental College. We ' re sure if he works as well and as fast as he did in our labs that he ' ll be way ahead of the bunch at N.Y.U. Bugs Glass, the drummer boy of our color guard, followed his hip flask to popularity, and his Provolone cheese to fame. Harvey ' s blackjack system, adapted from Scientific American, was the undoing of many a card sharp. Many a Christmas party was echoed throughout the halls by his booming drum. Harvey, though small in stature, was big in popularity- Morty, well known for his shining Thunderbird, and his felicitous sense of humor, was well trained by his stay in the army, for the tedious grind at C.U.C.P. Another one of Myrtle ' s gang, Mort realized his lifetime ambition when he was elected treasurer of the Simba Society, a proud, responsible position he will hold for life. The best of luck to a swell guy. Uncle Dave, one of the class of ' 59s foremost authorities, always has seemed to have everything under control. Beneath his dignified, business-like approach, there lies a storehouse of unusual anecdotes and some of the wildest dialect jokes ever told. Per- haps some day Dave will be asked to tell one.

But if you look hard enough you can find him taking part in a bull session, or in the middle of the tumult. Al was a quiet guy but schmoozing with him was a great satisfaction.

Mr. Ig came to C.U.C.P. from Jersey ' s shore, and possesses the rare distinction of having no one remember him losing control of his temper in his four years of school. During our Sophomore year, Tony and his wife Josephine presented C.U.C.P. 59 with its first God-child, Tony John Jr. Tony tells us that the Dean has promised him that Tony Jr. will be in the first graduating class from the new school. A late comer to the class, Irv, by the virtue of his quietness, was not known to many of us till the Junior Year. Once the familiarity barrier was broken, though, Irv proved to be a well liked guy. Because of the many talkers in our class, the proper equilibrium was finally reached ... the perfect listener had been found. This calm light of the class will do well in pharmacy by virtue of his agreeability with all. Frater A.Z.O.. Co-Chairman of Prom Committee. Our suave continental Englishman, came to CUCP via Egypt. Dave could easily be picked out in the lunchroom sipping a cup of tea, while those around him drank their chocolate milk. Our multi- lingual gentleman built up quite a reputation as a wolf. Upon personal investigation this rumor proved to be baseless. Dave will always be remembered as the guy who flew to England for Thanksgiving. If curiosity killed a cat, then Lydell must be living on borrowed time. As protector of ethics, keeper of morality, champion of truth, and washer of the undies, Lydell has taught the Professors of CUCP to be sure ... or be silent. Now someone should teach this to Lydell.

Many the summer or early spring would see us picknicking at Stan ' s summer place, sharing our food with the ants. During many serious moments our only respite from utter frustration has been a Kaplanism such as sa who cares? or Up shihotsie ' s creek without a paddle. When he first entered C.U.C.P., Irv was quite a shy individual. Today after four years at this glorious institution he is a tired shy individual. A science fiction devotee, Irv ' s heart was broken when the New York Giants went west. One of our quiet guys, Irv was always one of the boys in the midst of the tumult.

His literary appetites range from Psychology, Philosophy and Anthropology to Witch- craft and the black arts. Although a quiet guy, once started on a subject he is familiar with, he can go cm for hours. His caustic wit is familiar to those who know him and shows up conspicuously in the various publications with which he is associated. Marty is undoubtedly best known for his in- ability to hold liquor. This deficiency seems to have been developed to such a high degree that the laws of drug tolerance have been discarded. In the labs however Spinoza is an inspiration. His calm, un- wavering coolness has often been the pillar of strength the class needed when the onslaught of exams seemed almost too great to bear.

None of this bothers Elias however, he just goes his own way pushing through the multitude of women that follow him everywhere. Now ar last, the secret of his great success with women can be told. It ' s money! Apothekan staff, member of Rho Chi, Frater A.Z.O.. Rho Chi Award ' 57, ' 58, Dean ' s list ' 56, ' 57, ' 58, ' 59, Goodman Scholarship ' 58, Vice-President Rho Chi ' 59. The rebel without a cause, carefree, gay, and debonair, Kenny introduced many of us to the duck tail and the more progressive styles of dress. Turtle neck sweaters and peg pants, Ken was a firm advocate of freedom of dress in pharmacy schools. Kenny had the reputation of knowing many of New York ' s finest, and is a life member of the Marlon Brando motor- cycle club. . . . Dale has been near the top of the Dean ' s list for the entire four years at Columbia. He is a recipient of the Rho Chi award for Scholastic achievement. This mentor of pharmacy, chemistry, and physics plans to enter medical school in the fall. He and his younger brother Howie, who is a junior at C.U.C.P., are the brains behind the movement to move Belmont Park to their hometown of Far Rockaway. KENNETH B. KOFFER DALE L. KRAMEF ELI M.

Eli was a staunch support to the class of ' 59- An accomplished musician, Eli and his wild accordion made many a pleasant affair during our too infrequent tumult sessions and parties. One of Eli ' s chief distinc- tions is that he shared the room with Harvey Glass, during our senior escapade. He has been a diligent worker during his years at CUCP and one of the most likeable of fellows. His good nature and fine character will make him a fine pharmacist. Eli says he ' s working on a new musical composition . . . Music to fill prescriptions by. Pardon me professor, that ' s what the raised hand would signify, and everyone would put down their pencils with a sigh of relief. A truly inquisitive mind and a keen sense of humor, Howie, as he is known to his friends, may be seen smoking indus- triously away as he delivers his philosophical disserta- tions. When in trouble, Howie is a friend to have, after all, who else has a police captain for a father. His good nature has made him many lifetime friends. r j- r V r - . sri Football team, Softball team, bowling team. Jerry, a man well known at the pari-mutuel win- dows, is a man who divides his time between the New York racetracks and CUCP, with the latter run- ning a poor second. Nevertheless, through deter- mination, fortitude and many good friends, Jerry is at last graduating from the captive bonds of higher education. Best of luck to the Official Class Handi- capper. A college veteran, Ronny has previously attended Syracuse University and C. W. Post College. He is a member and ardent supporter of our Simba Club. Quite the athlete, Ron has played for the class foot- ball, Softball, and bowling team. In his spare time he likes to golf, and claims to be competition for Ben Hogan. He has elected to become a retail pharmacist and plans to open his own store in the near future. He still holds his position as president of the Ronny Lindner fan club. GERALD LEVINE RONALD G.

Frank came home a financial success from the class trip. Previously people wondered why he wore a green eyeshade on the class trips. Fastest man with the pestle in Junior Dispensing, Frank is the only man alive who carries his own T.T. mold ... in a shoulder holster. What other words can be used to describe big Frank except ... a helluva nice guy. One of the sights we will always remember is Lloyd and the boys in a smoke filled corner of the lunchroom before exams trying to spot that extra point or two that was sure to make the difference. One of the charter members of Simba, Lloyd also ad- mirably showed behind the wheel, qualities which held him in good stead when he worked as a part time hackie. Basketball.

Curly Joe missed our last school boatride even though he would have had sufficient time to get back for his wedding. He says he lost his hair in the Cri- mean campaign while in service. Joe says he is a witty fellow. Certainly he has withstood our funning with good grace. A member of the before exam panic com- mittee, and Myrtle fan club, Joe was a welcome mem- ber to the class of ' 59. Walt gave up the glories of campus life to take up residence with Ron Gittess in an off campus bachelor apartment, the scene of many busy nights of activity and studying for exams. One of our devotees of classical music, Walt ' s exodus from Nanuet has been C.U.CP. ' s gain as his quick humor and ready smile add life to any function or occasion. JOSEPH C. MESHIL WALTER T.

Intellectual Steve has left many questions un- answered and has often left professors wide-eyed and tongue-tied. The profundity of his thoughts and the articulateness of his self expression may well arouse wonder for his physical appearance suggests that he was a one time companion of the illustrious Al Capone. We hope that he may someday be able to answer his earnest queries. By this time perhaps we may have interpreted the question. Our class athlete is versatile and adept at skiing, basketball, and various indoor sports. Ron plans to get his hands into other people ' s mouths and pockets, even if he has to go to Dentistry School to do it. His shiny sports car was a familiar and envied sight to many of us as it sped up Broadway trying to elude the two patrol cars behind it. J Art Assistant to Apothekan. F Water R.P.P., Dean ' s List ' 59. Our class artist, Mario kept us amused with his cartoon commentary on physiology and related topics. His select sketches of crustaceans and bats, rapidly- circulating row by row, and hand to hand, served to keep any number of us awake. Mario, it is suspected, has contracted to build the new school, but studied pharmacy to keep himself occupied until it is ready to be built. He was tutor of the pre-exam panic club. Mr. Pharmacy could be seen looking for un- usual photos recording our trials at CUCP for poster- ity. An ardent archer, Nipper created quite a furor when he came to class one day with bow and arrow in hand. At this time odds where taken as to what lab assistant Howie had it in for, but alas the equip- ment was only for target practice in Central Park. Howie ' s one of our most enthusiastic pharmacists and has had much experience in the field. We are sure that this lad will do well in his chosen profession. MARIO A. MORO HOWARD H. NIEPORENT ANNMARIE G. PETRAGLIA HARVEY J. PORTNOY Frater D.S.T. Devilish green eyes and sparkling laughter char- acterize this vivacious female. An industrious worker, she is dedicated to her chosen profession and performs her job with integrity and expertness. Known for her quiet, sedate ways . . . true, but what a comedienne! Chief trouble-maker in P ' col, she will be fondly re- membered for her immortal words, I haven ' t read Grollman yet! ( although an avid reader of G G ) . Each one of us of the class of ' 59 ' surely feels that a little bit of each of us will go with Harvey when he leaves the hallowed halls and laboratories of CUCP. Harvey is noted for his famous and timely remark ' Chickie ' , often heard at moments that might have been embarrassing to some of us in alternate seats, alternate rows.

For four long years, Dave has impressed all his classmates by his true executive type appearance, all this while called an unexplained nickname. Truly interested in Pharmacy as a profes- sion, Dave ' s second interest is as an efficiency expert. The combination of the two fields may well fit him with a unique role in pharmacy. A quiet sort, Dave advocates a strong Pharmaceutical Assn. and reciproc- ity nationwide. Member of the twosome, Moloff and Rich, Al could always be discerned in class by a wild type of smile on his face. Teachers, beware! A Riverdale com- muter, Al has finally come up with the answer that has plagued many of the used car owners in our class. After worrying constantly about his old Lincoln, he junked it and with a wave of a magic wand, trans- posed it into a brand new ' 59 Chevy. Now he ' ll be able to go skiing knowing that he ' ll be able to come back in time for Monday ' s first lecture. DAVID M. REITER ALLAN N. RICH MARTIN J. ROITMAN ARNOLD G. ROSENTHAL prater A.Z.O. past officer A.Z.O. Apothekan staff, Prom Committee. Prater R.P.P., Softball Team, Football Team. Mister Roitman was unknown to many of us lowly freshmen at the start of our sojourn at CUCP, due to an untimely appendectomy, but when our Who ' s Roitman? kid made it to school the start of many a good friendship occurred. Marty is well liked by all and can .always be found on hand at a discussion of the whys and ways of love and romance. He is a great enthusiast of play going, especially the Saturday night shows. This mild mannered guy is sure to be a great pharmacist. Rosie is seen daily looking over the current rac- ing dope sheet. One of our ' foreign ' students, Rosie daily made the trek in to class from Brooklyn. Through our four year association we all have enjoyed Rosie ' s ability with bird calls. Also a baseball fan, Arnie has been the class of ' 59 ' s number 1 baseball pool originator. Arnie ' s plans include going into retail pharmacy at which he should be successful, since he is very personable and gets along well with all.

A student at Sacramento State College, Herb came to CUCP after a short hitch as guest of Uncle Sam. Herb is loquacious, friendly, and much of his time was spent telling us to bring in those ads! As future representative of the profession, success and happiness will come easily to this guy with the sincere desire to make good. A terrifically good natured guy, Herb has been one of the busiest members of the class as President of the I.F.C. His innate spirit marks him a success from the start. ' Cousin ' Marty, the ex-weight lifter had difficulty in walking down the aisle, but July 3rd, 1958, saw Marty take the fatal step with Arlene. Our master pharmacist had the reputation as the guy with the most cluttered lab desk. Marty will make a great boss, as he is the only person to understand what it really means to be totally confused and yet happy. HERBERT ROSENZWEIG MARTIN A. ROTHBERG ARTHUR J. SCHAEFFER SEYMOUR H.

Softball Team, Bowling Team, Football Team, ball Team, Chancellor Rho Pi Phi ' 59. and Basket- Tillie, the man from Island Park, will be best remembered for the real wild picnic he sponsored on one of the many islands near Island Park. Tillie can be pictured in the stern of a Coast Guard cutter, look- ing for the ill fated vessel that had brought his guests to this terrific spot but nay returned them. Wordsy partner of Sy Schechter, epitome of Joe College, Artie has brought many a chuckle to his many friends. Sy has previously done stints at N. Y. U. and with Uncle Sam before coming to us at Columbia. He has been very active in Rho Pi Phi and is their present chancellor. He has aided the class by both playing and refereeing for our basketball and baseball teams. Sy says that his hobby is hunting. He really must be quite a good hunter because as the rumor goes, this man is getting engaged. His future plans as to what field of Pharmacy he will endeavor are uncer- tain. But as this book goes to press he is still receiving bids to impersonate Ed Sullivan. Softball Team, Bowling Team, Football Team, Basketball Team. Frater A.Z.O.

In his garage can be found the all- American car, Ford fender, Olds engine, Chevy clutch, etc., as his hobby takes him to junk yards all over White Plains. The perfect specimen of young man- hood, Paul was offered a free trip to the medical con- vention when it was discovered that he had a systolic pressure of 210. President of our Freshman class, Dave started off the class of ' 59 with the proper spirit of get up and go-itiveness. Introduction of a senior finance plan and other tumult devices started the class of ' 59 on the right road to a successful college career. Dave always has had a chuckle and a smile on his face and is sure to not be one of the fellows that Prof. Kavaler said would be sure to need his services in years to come. Dave ' s ambition has always been law and his plans include combining pharmacy with a career in law as a pharmaceutical patent lawyer. PAUL R. SCHWEBEL DAVID A. SELIGMAN THOMAS H. SIMON IRWIN D. STERN V w Exchange Editor Anodyne ' 58, Rho Chi member ' 59, Dean ' s List. Rensselaer ' s loss is CUCP ' s gain. Thomas has been an inspiring drive and force behind the proper college spirit at Columbia. His possession of needle sharp wit and humor made Tom one of the most of the class of ' 59 though we didn ' t get to meet him till our sophomore year. Our sophomore year was also eventful for Tom for it was then he took the binding oath with Paula. Tom ' s pleasing and good natured kidding and destructive criticism of things and people around him, has brought many a chuckle especially during a particularly lethargic lecture. Though typically reserved and studious, Irwin has made many friends during his stay at the college of Pharmacy. Coming into the class as a Sophomore, his easy going manner and hard work to get by in his courses has set him up as an example of what a hard working pharmacy student should be. Never giving up in the face of difficult) ' and set-backs, Irwin can only be an asset to the profession of pharmacy upon graduation. Treasurer A.Ph.A. ' 59.

Bob, the collegiate one, deplores the un-Ivy char- acter of our school. He comes to us via Cornell Uni- versity after having suffered through the agonies of a year of physics. Cornell ' s loss was our gain for in the last year Bob has blossomed forth as an active member of the Senior Class. A proud supporter of Theodore and Mad comics Bob has been a continued source of Ivy wise cracks. His plans include continuing in our pharmacology department this coming year. Best of luck to a sure success. The second Richard of our class, Dick, as he is better known to his friends, was a top notch physics student. Dick was often known to ask his fellow students questions which he, after a momentary pause, then proceeded to answer himself. Dick ' s interests include of course a career in pharmacy and lessons at Arthur Murray after graduation where he can at last learn something really useful. His keen mind and pleasing attitude will make him successful in any of his future endeavors. ROBERT E. STITZEL RICHARD TEDESCHI DONALD K. UNGER RONALD N. WECKER Frater R.P.P.

Despite this, he always has a friendly smile and is one of the more conscientious members of the class. In his spare time he likes to repair autos. This quiet casanova plans to settle in Virginia someday. Whatever he does, his patience and perseverance mark him for success. Weckie has been one of our most active stu- dents during his four years at CUCP. Teacher of bawdy songs and originator of the Zorch and Framus, Ron has been one of the most popular guys of the class of ' 59. Ukulele in hand, song in heart, and gaiety at stake, Ron has been the center of many an unforgettable tumult session. A friend to all, advisor to the lovelorn, and proud supporter of Cornell U. Ron has often been seen writing love notes on Anodyne stationery. Ron says his plans include an MS in Administration, a stint with Uncle Sam, and finally, president of a drug company.

Tecumsa, translated from the original gaelic means the happy wanderer, and no more fitting a middle initial has anyone. A midnight traveler, it is not unusual to find Shelly sightseeing at any hour of the morning, evening or afternoon. Ask him how it feels to be in a car when it falls apart and he can tell you. Best known for his eating abilities, his good- naturedness, as his classmates offered him part of his own lunch, has made him one of the good guys of the class. Staten Island, God ' s gift to the world , as Don will say, has given one of the nicest people to CUCP. A bright warm smile and a cheery greeting for every- one have made Don a most ' sympatico ' fellow. Al- though liquid atomic bombs, champagne cocktails, etc., are excellent media for sending one into orbit, Don admits that it ' s a bit difficult for a fellow to make that 9:00 A.M, Monday Lab. The early half of the Senior year it was rumored that Donny was really OCZ ' s son but this rumor proved to be baseless. SHELDON T. WEINSTEIN DONALD S. WILSON ARNOLD WINIKOW BARRY I. WLADKOWSKY Vraler D.S.T., officer D.S.T. Throughout his years here, Winny has harbored a secret which no one has been able to extricate from him. This is the amazing ability of sleeping and tak- ing notes simultaneously. Another late entrant to the Class during the sophomore year, Arnie ' s quiet nature did not give many a chance to know him till the latter part of the year. A friendly guy, Arnie ' s unobtrusive- ness, and gay spirit ensure for him a strong position in pharmacy. Arnie is the man most up to date on Lederle ' s advances. Barry has the rep of having the second hardest name to spell and pronounce in the class, second only to Tony 1. He is the leader of the Why take notes in Lecture movement and is vice-chairman in charge of ink of the Senior Mimeo we have your notes be- fore you give em squad. Thanks to Barry ' s efforts, many a classmate has been saved the torment of sprained wrists. He is currently being investigated by the unfair practices committee of the Papermate Pen company. Barry ' s plans include retail pharmacy in which he is sure to be a success aided by his dy- namic driving force. Member of Rho Chi ' 58, ' 59.

Nothing could prevent this young lady from smiling. Come rain or shine, come the exams of Clay or the interesting puzzles of Dr. Malspeis. While little bugs sizzled, Siamese microorganisms remained in- separable and some poor souls stumbled and failed, Karen always remained in the ' those up there ' group of the class. Karen has decided to make Pharmacology her career. Therefore come next fall our girl will be seen performing all sorts of unnamed tortures on rats and other little fellows. Good luck to America ' s great- est pharmacologist to be. Known as P.Z. to many of his classmates. Paul will long be remembered for his most descriprive oratory ability, which was exhibited during a special jurisprudence lecture. He is the current president of the illustrious Simba Society and vice president of the CUCP chapter of the Amos-N-Andy fan club. For the past few years he has been a main stay on the class of ' 59 intramural football team. He has chosen to undertake Retail Pharmacy as his profession. Paul will be a great sparkplug in the running of the famous Zuckerman Pharmaceutical establishment of Brighton Beach. KAREN A. WOLF PAUL ZAKIN OSCAR C.

Our favorite nurse, that being his old Air Force job, Ziggy continued his contact with nursing after discharge by marrying Joan, an RN. Very serious in all matters, his plans for the future include graduate work in the field of Pharmacology before he finally puts down his books. Well liked and popular, OCZ works hard at whatever job may befall him, and espe- cially as the Directorum of AZO, a more dedicated person would be hard to find. We know that what- ever he may finally do, he will do it well.
