WILLIAM M. BURKE Troy, N. Y. B.B.A. in Accounting This man from Troy, came to Siena a long time ago, 1940 to be exact. The Pearl Harbor disaster impelled him to enlist in the American Air Forces. For the following four years, he served in most of the main war theaters; and, in this war, that meant duty over most of the world. He was lucky enough to return and resume his work at Siena. His only interests in life, and we don't blame him, are his lovely wife and child. To pro- vide for them as best he can is the ambition of this AAF veteran. BRUCE CARNEY Sabbath Day Point, N. Y. 8.5. in Chemistry Bruce entered Siena in l94l but after a short span of 3 semesters he enlisted in the United States Air Corps. Before returning to Siena he had served over three years in that branch. Throughout his four years at Siena he has been active in many of the school's various clubs, the mainstay of which is the Berthold Schwartz Chemistry Club. If his past record is any indication of his merits then Bruce is a lad of whom Siena will be proud to call an Alumnus. CHARLES J. CAVANAUGH Albany, N. Y. B.B.A. in Accounting A Marine Corps veteran of two and one-half years serv- ice, Chuck came to Siena in 1946 via transfer from Colgate University. He often voices his pet peeve, that isl final exams, or exams in general. However, for all his pessimism, he fares very well in this respect. Besides his active interest and co- operation in all class activities, Chuck finds time to be an ardent follower of school athletic teams. We are sure that after Chuck leaves Siena he will continue to show avid interest in Siena and her progress via the Alumni Association. Sc'emgollege
