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.

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

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
