''iki's. Frontispiece by Caryl FOREWORD As the hour rapidly approaches when we, members of the Class of 1942, will depart from the comparative tran- quility of academic life and enter a world at war, we can but wonder what awaits beyond the horizon. Uncertainty and Fear are battling desperately to over- throw Hope, reigning sovereign in the minds of free men throughout the world as the ominous war clouds grow darker. Our lot will not be an easy one we know, but in our hearts is the fervent prayer that our specialized training will enable each of us to contribute in some small degree to the common cause of humanity not only “for the dura- tion” but in the years to follow. With these thoughts in mind the editor and his staff herewith present the 1942 edition of the Alembic Pharmakon, an official compendium of life at our Alma Mater during our student days. We hope that in a brighter tomorrow we may all find time and opportunity to peruse through its pages while our minds conjure up thoughts of the days we worked and played together at Albany College of Pharmacy.

It was on a non-forgetable day in September, away back in 1938, that approxi- mately thirty students (we looked the part anyway) assembled in the halls of Albany College of Pharmacy. With a mixture of excitement and fear in our hearts, we met for the first time. What friends would we make? What teachers would we have? What would our exams be like? Such questions raced across our bewildered minds. Soon, however, the various members of the faculty put us at our ease with their friendly words of advice. The various courses and subjects were explained to us, and we were told just what was expected of us. The remainder of the year was typical of Fresh- man years. Officers were elected, plans were made and carried out, and our class was, at the end of the year, a friendly unit. As Sophomores, we were more or less in exile. No one was around during the afternoons, and we were left to ourselves. If it weren’t for our very hard-working Dean, who arranged trips in the fields for the sake of Botany, and who helped us to organize an outing at the end of the year, our Sophomore year would have been a dull one. (In regards to the picnic, the Dean never could understand what the loose matches were doing near the card game, especially in front of George King, who didn’t have a cigarette with him.) However, we all survived the Sophomore year. We became upper classmen in September, 1940. This was the year when we really had to “buckle” down. This was the year of Organic and Materia Med. Need we say more? At first, it seemed as though our faculty members had grown into ogres over the summer, but after we settled down things went very smoothly once more. Four more quarters quickly passed, and we looked forward to having the distinction of being called “Seniors”. When we returned in September, we found a changed school. No longer were there superior seniors filling the halls, and passing all-important opinions. To put it simply, “We were them!” Soon it was time to elect officers. Although we were all very satisfied with the officers we had chosen in our Junior year, we elected the following for our Senior year: President, Wilbert Cooper; Vice-President, Edward Rogers; Secretary- Treasurer, Lester Decker; Historian, Gerald Messia. Our first annual ball and our second annual school banquet were great successes and much credit must be given to the committees in charge of these events. We do not like to think, or try to realize that we have come to the end of our class history, for that means we must say, “Good-bye” to Alma Mater. We have spent four happy years at A. C. P. We are sure we shall not forget you, Alma Mater, and we hope that our deeds and accomplishments will not let you forget us. Gerald Messia, Historian Nineteen NORMAN B.

Twenty-eight PROPHECY June 1, 1962. . . . Special communique from the Delphic oracle via radio: Reliable quarters here today reported startling facts regarding members of the 1942 graduating class at Albany College of Pharmacy. Norman Alterman, Peekskill’s Pride is serving as assemblyman in the New York State Legislature. Janis Best, now happily married, is devoting a portion of her time to scientific research in the field of bacteriology. Oren Bigelow has risen high in commercial art and has recently done several magazine covers for Satevepost and Esquire. Jack Caryl didn’t return after the war. The Hawaiian gal he met made him manager of pop’s plantation and they arc now busy raising little (you guessed it) pineapples. Doris Colby is still wowing them (two shows every night but Monday) at Jack Dempsey’s in New York. Her fan dance specialty also won an enviable spot for her in television and she is scheduled to strut her stuff at the forthcoming World’s Fair in Juneau, Alaska. Wilbert Cooper, the Hulett’s Werewolf, is president of the Hudson Falls Iron and Brass Company. He cleaned up a pile of dough in the war and has a summer estate near his boyhood home. Paul Crumley and his oldest son arc commuting daily to Albany. Both Crum- ley’s are in the senior class at Albany Law School. Tom Czaplinski, Camera Club president in the days of you know when, is now chief technical consultant for Eastman Kodak Company and is also with the Life Magazine editorial board. Lester Decker is the New Dean at A. C. P. He has just contracted for a new $40,000 home to be built in Loudonvillc. Albert DiDonna, after a whirlwind career in Amsterdam and Fulton County politics, is now Congressman DiDonna. Freddy Isabella has just signed a new contract with the J-E-L-L-O to m. c. that company’s new radio show. Gerald Kaleta is Grand Regent of Kappa Psi and President of the International Chamber of Commerce. During the Republican administration just ended Gerry was U. S. Ambassador to Poland. Twenty-nine CLASS PROPHECY Continued Bernard Kendall is supervisor of the township of Corinth. Lt. Commander George A. King, U. S. N. has just been assigned to command the Mosquito Fleet Patrol in the Panama Canal Zone. Gerald Messia, who developed into a raconteur of note in the days of Dr. Blodgett, is a scenario writer for M. G. M. William Oberg, naturally enough, is now president and principal stockholder in the Good Hurngr Company. Alfred Poskanzer has expanded the Poskanzcr Delicatessen chain until it now covers New York, New England and the Middle Atlantic States. Robert Potenza when last heard from had just set forth with his bride for Alaska to do some trapping in the frozen Northland. Robert Rees after a few interesting years as a traveling salesman for Eli Lilly, married the farmer’s daughter and is now general sales manager. Edward Rogers, physical fitness director of the United States Marine Corps, is stationed in Portsmouth, Me. Arne Rovig is a successful textbook author. His most recently published tome is “Mathematical Wizardry in 10 Easy Lessons.” Irving Sexton won the plaudits of the mob for many years as stellar goalie of the Maple Leafs, but infirmities of age have now forced him to be content with coaching that invincible hockey troop. George Skinner is residing in a laboratory in the foothills of the Catskills near Westford, his boyhood home. He is engaged in scientific research, one of his current experiments dealing with vapor condensation. Warren Stone, better known as “Gordon Q,” is head ranger of the New York State Adirondack Park and may frequently be seen dashing over the Mount Marcy cliffs. Donald Swayze has just completed the final draft of his autobiography entitled “Deep in the Heart of Texas” or “From Cowhand to Toreador. ” Well, well! Of all things, Brooks Franklin Wood, the Dolgeville Demon, has really distinguished himself. Of 27 members of the class of ’42 Brooksie is the only one still engaged in retail Pharmacy. His Dolgeville Drug Dispensary makes Lascoff’s look ancient as did the Throop Apothecary' back in 1942. Thirty Toreador—synonymous with bullthrower.

PHARMAKON JILINIOIRd CRASS HISTORY In calling this class, the class of 1943, we may be calling it rather close since our graduation will take place in January, 1943, instead of June. This is due to the moving up of the senior year and the beginning of a summer session, June 8, of which we are the first benefactors. Since entering in 1939, we have gone through three years of work and play together. Some of our members have left us; others have joined us and have filled in the vacancies so that we still retain approximately the same number of students with which we originally started. The main social function was the annual School Ball in which all of the classes participated. Later in the school year, a student banquet was held which will always be one of our collegiate social memories. With intercollegiate basketball eliminated from our list of active sports, bowling has become the main sporting event of the college. At the time of writing, our Junior class team was leading the school league. Now we are entering our Senior year. We shall endeavor, as in all other things wc have undertaken, to make it a part of the college which may always be looked upon with favor by ourselves and by others through the coming years.

PHARMAKOM OPHOMORB HISTORY October, 1940 found a group of about 24 students enrolled with the title “Freshman”. Ah! Great indeed, were our Freshman days. Rho Pi Phi and Kappa Psi claimed a few selected classmen, while bowling, ping pong and varsity basketball constituted the outside activities of the rest of our group. Through the haze, we reached our first goal; the Sophomore Class. But, alas, fate had separated some of us and we returned last fall to find we were now a group of twenty-one students. Despite world crisis and uncertainty, we are determined to continue our pursuit of chlorides, ions and drugs. Lambda Kappa Sigma and bowling are the activities of the Sophomore girls, and the fellows enjoy their respective fraternities, bowling and intramural basket- ball. In May, a Botany picnic terminated the pursuit of that course under Dean Mansfield. Onward! Ho!

Some enrolled as pre-medical students, others as laboratory technicians, but the majority enrolled with the intention of be- coming registered pharmacists. After we had familiarized ourselves with our subjects and our classmates, we assembled to choose class administrators. Dean Mansfield presided until Lester Coons was elected chairman. Our next issue was to elect class officers. I'he election resulted in the following choices: Lester Coons, President; Charles De Christopher, Vice-President; Claudia Stafford, Secretary; Richard Foley, Historian. One of our classmates, Gerry Nclligan, decided to serve his country by joining the United States Marines. His likeable disposition gained for him the friendship of all his former classmates. However, to balance this loss, early in December, Lester Horowitz entered the class. Basketball and bowling were the highlights in our school activities. Our class basketball team challenged the sophomore team for first place in the intramural contest. In bowling, perhaps we were not as successful, but we trust that we will improve in future years. Although we did not have a Freshman-Sophomore Ball as was the custom in former years, we took pan in an annual school dance which was held in the early spring. As our Freshman year draws to a close, we hope and pray that we will see those same familiar faces roaming the halls of A. C. P. in 1943. A toast to the seniors: we wish them the best of luck in their chosen fields. We know that they are capable of achieving success in this world of present chaos.

The start of the school year saw three new Freshman girls enter our portals and express the desire to become members of our friendly little group. Shortly after, the three girls, Gertrude deNure, Claudia Stafford, and Edith Bactowsky, were pledged. Initiation of the girls livened up the general run of things, and after a week of making the “pledgees” look conspicuous, a weekend was devoted to formally taking them into our midst. And so, our membership became ten. At a tea, new officers were elected: President, Mary Margaret Knapp; Vice- President, June E. Turner; Secretary, Peggy Israel; Treasurer, Ida C. Rickey. During the year, the sorority was unusually active. The events started with a “Hallowe’en Soiree” held in conjunction with Kappa Psi Fraternity. Later, a “Juke Box” dance was staged and successful is the word to describe the two dances. A hay-ride followed which was attended by sorority members and their friends. Also, throughout the year, candy sales were held for the purpose of raising money. Sister Mary Eugenia was asked to become an honorary member of Lambda Kappa Sigma, and having consented, she was formally inducted into our member- ship at a tea held at the end of the first semester. During the last semester, the sorority was less active. The girls devoted most of their time to studying, and in their spare time got together for three “sorority weekends.” These were enjoyably spent at Miss Colby’s, Miss Best’s and Miss Turner’s. Though the future is vague, wc hope that the years to come will prove as happy and eventful as this one. M. I. Forty-seven AILEMMC a ltae 2 1942 QPA « Forty-eight PHARMAK0N KA1PIPA. PSI Our first meeting of the scholastic year was held September 25. At this meet- ing we made tentative plans for our activities of the year, with anticipation of a very successful program. The new officers presiding at this meeting were: Regent, Edward Rogers; Vice-Regent, Bernard Kendall; Secretary, Richard Phalen; Treas- urer, Oren Bigelow; Historian, Warren Stone; Chaplain, Gerald Kaleta. Our first undertaking was an Intra-fraternity Smoker, in which we were joined by the Brothers of Rho Pi Phi. We were honored at this smoker by the presence of Dean Mansfield, a number of members of the faculty and a number of graduate members. On October 23, we were invited to hold our meeting at Professor Hamner’s apartment. We all had a very enjoyable time and wish to take this time to thank him again for the use of his apartment. In conjunction with the members of our sister sorority. Lambda Kappa Sigma, we held a “Vic Dance” October 31. Considering the fact that the ‘fates were against us’ and it rained, we had a good turnout and everyone present had an enjoyable time. Our Grand Council held its national convention in Philadelphia during Christmas vacation. We were fortunate in being able to send our Regent Edward Rogers as a delegate to this convention. When we returned from Christmas vacation, our next undertaking was the task of pledging and initiating new members. The week of February was chosen as initiation week and on the night of February 5, we conferred the first degree on two new members, namely, Alexander Fiore and Walter Houghtaling. In the ensuing two weeks, they were made brothers of the fraternity and on the night of March 12th, they were our guests at a banquet, given in their honor. As this year book goes to press, we are making plans for our annual dinner- dance, which is to be held soon after we return from Easter vacation. Then, after a few weeks of studying in preparation for our final exams, we will have our annual picnic, which is to be held during the last week of school and will end another successful year in the history' of the Beta Delta Chapter of Kappa Psi Fraternity'. In closing, wc wish to extend our wishes for the best of success and health to our departing brothers. Forty-nine AL E MBie %W.P ,Tt:in , PHr K. ST-G QLOVZKO RHO P) PH) TPAUmiY BETA CHAPTER M.

Two years later through the cooperation, interest and spirit of a fraternal minded group of students. Beta Chapter located at the Albany College of Pharmacy, was given its charter. Since them, Rho Pi Phi has branched into a fraternity whose standing is both national and international. The fundamental aims of this fraternity, are to create a spirit of good fellow- ship among the men, to foster cooperation among pharmacists, and to maintain good scholarship. Officers are as follows: Chancellor, Alfred Poskanzer; Vice-Chancellor, Arnold Shapiro; Scribe, Nathan Wcrlin; Corres. Scribe, Morris Silverman; Treasurer, Leo Katzman; Guardian, Jacob Epstein. Pledges recently inducted are: Jerome Goldberg and Sol Levine. Owing to the fact that Beta chapter has just arisen from a state of dormancy, affairs have not been too numerous. However, a flag presentation, an inter-fraternity smoker with Kappa Psi and an initiation were conducted. We wish to thank the faculty and the student body for giving their unselfish cooperation in aiding us, and to assure our graduating brothers that we will carry on the noble work of the fraternity in the true spirit of Rho Pi Phi.

The cause of this inactivity is due primarily to graduation of the members, and the smallness of entering classes. The present members are transfers from Columbia University, College of Pharmacy, where they were members of the Gamma Chapter of Phi Delta Chi. Both members were honored by being elected officers; Thomas V. Czaplinski is a past chapter secretary and Walter H. Henning is a past chapter treasurer. Phi Delta Chi Fraternity was first started at the University of Michigan in 1883 by Prof. A. B. Prescott, for the purpose of advancing and maintaining the high standards of the pharmaceutical and chemicals professions. That his work was successful can be seen in the number of chapters existant today. The Fraternity is represented in all the pharmacy colleges in the country, and its members number into the thousands. Alpha Theta Chapter was founded at Albany College of Pharmacy in 1931. In the past Phi Delta Chi participated in all school activities and did much to further the school’s welfare. It set a shining example for the other organizations in the school to follow. Let us hope that in the near future the chapter will again occupy the niche in college activities that it really deserves. Fifty-two PHARMAKON Seated Bigelow, Phelan, Crumley, Reed, Turner.

A list of activities which was submitted to the Student Body for approval, after which Council Members spent much time in preparing a budget for these activi- ties. This budget was approved by a Student Body vote. It was reported that the budget was the best one submitted to the Student Body in some time. This year it was voted to have only one School Dance to be held in the spring. Last year’s School Banquet was so well received that it was decided to continue the activity.

It started in 1938, when an enterprising group of nine students pooled their knowledge and equipment, and called themselves the A. C. P. Camera Club. The Camera Club now has an enrollment of over twenty-five active members. Their working equipment consists of everything from a box camera to modern, expensive movie cameras, and all the intermediate types with all their accessory gadgets. Each active member has at his or her disposal a completely equipped dark- room in which he may dabble to his heart’s content. The darkroom is really the hub of the club. Even the “greenest” of the initiates manages to learn something which may be of value after he graduates. The club, as in previous years, has taken almost all of the pictures appearing in this Year Book. Meetings were held periodically throughout the year, and many subjects were discussed. Members of the Camera Club wish to express their appreciation to Mr. Cooper, to whom must go the credit for building up the club to what it is today. Fifty-five AlaBMMe MMIMNI ASSOCIATION The annual meeting and reunion banquet of the Alumni Association will be held Thursday, June 4, following Commencement exercises.

The activity, held on Tuesday evenings at Schade’s Alleys, saw Irving Sexton collect honors for High Single with a 237, while '1’om Young’s 558 gave him top position for High Triple. Leading average of the season was Eddie Karuzas with 159.9. Members of the participating teams wish to take this opportunity to thank Dr. O’Brien for his capable and efficient assistance and supervision of the activity. Cooperating with Dr. O’Brien in arrangements for the bowling program were Manager Bernard Goldberg and Assistant Manager Edmund Crandall.

A team of ten girls rolled a season of 18 weeks, with Geraldine Howard as captain and Mary Margaret Knapp as scorer. Although a new sport to most of the girls, it was thoroughly enjoyed by each.

IN TRAMUR At E A.§ KB T Ed A E?Ed The aged old axiom that the Freshmen are green in every activity certainly boomeranged, as a courageous band of first year men won the intramural basketball competition. The keen playing and also the many close games displayed by the Juniors, Sophomores, and Frosh showed promise of another successful season next year. In order to “cop” the title, Captain DeChristopher and crew had to beat the stubborn Sophs in two straight games. Other members of the team were Fiore, Coons, Levine, Bevilacqua, and Horowitz. Of course, the sportsmanship displayed by an inferior Junior team cannot pass without a word of praise. The enthusiasm displayed by the large, crowds at the games certainly was an inspiring sight to every player. Also, a vote of thanks should be extended to our faculty advisor, Mr. Wolffc; to Richard Phalen, manager; and to the many coopera- tive students who acted as the officials. J- P- Sixty-two PHARMAKON Sixty-three ALEMBIC A JBCTAMICAId OUTING Eureka, I have a thought, but do not spurn me, as I promise you that this is but a passing affliction. I will tell you of an enchanting communion I once held with nature, under protest. Here it is, a bleak and dreary Monday morning. I am suffering from severe cerebral disturbances resulting from the frolics of the previous evening. Today, I am to rove about the woods with our dear Dean to merrily stumble over logs and roots, and to fall into ravines. I am minding my own business, when out comes our botanical enthusiast fol- lowed by the usual flock of “apple-polishers.” At long last, we go forth to commune with nature, and contract bronchitis. First, I am shoved into the rear seat of a small Ford car between two tw'o-hundred pound anemics. This is, indeed, a great shock to my constitution, especially in my present delicate condition. Then, with a great groaning and puffing, and car-splitting creaks, every strand of tin in the old “wash-boiler” strains as we are off to play Robin Hood. Once, at the scene of the crime, the hungry horde of botanical maniacs swarm into nature’s rendez-vous. The onslaught forbids description. Now, that I have burlap more securely grasped in my hands, I too, venture into the under-brush. Once in the forest, a multitude of obstacles arise to confront these poor, unsus- pecting Daniel Boone’s. Many are shocked at the thought of entering the woods in the daylight with no blankets; others are met by swarms of angry hornets; and still others wade blissfully in patches of poison ivy vines. The rank and file is merely satisfied to stumble along over stumps, hidden roots, and fall silently into ravines and other such hidden depressions. This pitiful state of affairs prevails ’til noon, at which time all present gather about a “smudge pot” to eat. Here, the wolves set back on their haunches and proceed to attack and devour many a “brace of spaniels” and “quaff many a cup of mud”; and finally stuff their mouths full of great amounts of “pickled grass.” Then, after shaking off the multitude of ants, and repulsing numerous swarms of flies, our little “suicide squadron” proceeds to the cars and soon heads homeward. Here they hold heads and nurse wounds. I, personally, set forth for Al’s, “the home of the ‘twenty-two’ ouncer,” and am soon “muzzling a mug of suds”!!! G.

Sixty-eight JOKE- A burly new Chief of Police, introducing himself to his subordinates, boasted, '‘I can lick anybody on my own force.” A still burlier officer stepped forward, and said. “You can’t lick me!” The chief eyed him a moment and then waved him aside. “You arc no longer on my force!!” A self-styled inspirational lecturer was talking to the inmates of an asylum. He was interrupted by an inmate crying out wildly, “Do we have to listen to the tommy-rot?” Surprised and confused the lecturer asked if he should stop talking. “No, no. Keep right on,” said the guard. “That won’t happen again. That man has only one sane moment every two years!!!” “Look!! A lion’s tracks!” “Sure enough!

I wonder what’s wrong with it?” Wifey: “I don’t know. It was nice and soft when I painted the bird cage yesterday.” Seventy-two A N ALUMNUS THE DRUG STORE TISSUE With A. P. W.

I wanted it for Grandma.” A salesman from the States applied at the Canadian recruiting office to enlist. “I suppose you want a commission,” said the officer. “No thanks,” was the reply. “I’m such a poor shot I’d rather work on straight salary.” “Parson, I’d like for you to pray for my floating kidney.” “But my good man, I can’t do that. I can only pray for spiritual things.” “Then how come last Sunday you spent twenty minutes praying for loose livers?” The woman autoist posed for a snap-shot in front of the fallen pillars of an ancient temple in Greece. “Don’t get the car in the picture,” she said, “or my husband will think I ran into the place.” Dr. Nelms “What is a skeleton?” Frosh: “A pile of bones with all the people scraped off!!!” Soph: “Come on.
