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. HOROWITZ 20

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
