O’Brien, A.M., Ph.D. Dean Dr. O’Brien is now clean of the college, and he also heads our Pharmacy department. Capable and brilliant, he is one of the few men who can execute more than one job at a time, doing each of them equally well. Dr. O’Brien is an alumnus of our Alma Mater, graduating in the Class of 1920 with a Ph.G. degree. He took a position on the staff here and continued his work to obtain his Ph.G. degree in 1929. In 1932 he received his A.B. degree from the New York State College for Teachers, which was followed by his M.A. degree in 1936. Shortly after this, he began work for his Ph.l) degree from Fordham Uni- versity. It was granted in June, 1940. During the last year, we feel that we have profited under the leadership and guidance of Dr. O’Brien. He has listened untiringly to the complaints and troubles of each of us, and his advice has always been sound. Now, as we graduate, we wish to thank him for being our adviser, our teacher, and our friend! Eleven Alembic - Janis L. Best, B.S., M.T., A.S.C.P. Instructor in Pharmacy Wc sincerely wish to extend a welcome to the newest member of the faculty. We feel confident that her thorough knowledge of the subject will enable her to uphold the stand- ards of the very important subject which she teaches. Lauren R. Hanmer. Ph.C., B.S. Instructor in Materia Medica and Botany The details of botanical nature are thoroughly understood and presented by Mr. Hanmer, affording the pharmacy students a background in the knowledge of materials utilized in their profession. From a personal angle, we have found his inform- ality an invitation to self-expression, and his courteous, gentle- manly manner in class, an inspiration for like conduct. John Dwyer, A.B., M.S., Ph.D. Professor of Biology Dr. Dwyer comes to us from St. Francis' College, Brooklyn, having previously been a member of the faculty of Fordham University’s College of Pharmacy and graduate school. Having merited an A.B. degree from St. Peter’s College, Jersey City, his pursuit of still higher education was realized at Fordham University, Columbia University and institutions in the mid- west. Our acquaintance with him, though brief, has been of sufficient duration to perceive that he is keen of intellect, pro- fessional in demeanor, exacting in conduction, yet kindly patient in the lecture room. His efficiency is an asset to the students and to the prestige of our college. ■ Twelve Pharma kon Claude M. Reed, Ph.C., B.A., A.M. Instructor in Chemistry Chemistry, so comprehensive a subject and so vitally con- nected with Pharmacy, begets a fascination and desire for its knowledge. Professor Reed’s encouragement of this attraction, demonstrated through his sincere interest in his department, and his ability to satisfy the receptive attitude of his ‘‘men”, through specialized study on his part, make him the ideal for his position. His willingness to see things from the student’s viewpoint in his realization of their yet embryonic background, makes him kindly tolerant, though not faultily condescending, to our inaccuracies in so precise a subject. Needless to say, these qualities label him a favorite. Homer L. Nelms, M.D. Instructor in Physiology and First Aid We all like Dr. Nelms. This is a plain but expressive and all-embracing statement. Who could resist that paternal in- terest, displayed both during lectures and in administering medical attention to so many of our students. Ilis prominence as physician and surgeon enhance his qualifications to instruct others in the elements of physiology and emergency treatments. We feel indebted to him for giving us his precious time, for encouraging scholastic endeavors by his yearly award, and for his admission of his personal enjoyment in being with us. David Hutchinson, B.A., M.A., B.D., Ph.D. Lecturer in Jurisprudence and Political Science So versatile an education as'is possessed by Dr. Hutchinson, renders him a revered and esteemed associate of our college. His myriad experiences in teaching law and in actual legal procedures, earn7 his lectures from the theoretical to the realistic and evoke confidence in him as an authority. His sense of humor in his amusing relations brings in the all-important refreshment in his lectures. Thirteen Alembic Harold W. Blodgett, A.B., A.M., Ph.D. Instructor in English Ever patient in his endeavors at evoking proper diction and grammatical accuracy, Dr. Blodgett presents a study of serenity and sincerity to his students. They appreciate his tolerance and efforts to make them glib in both oral and written English, and we arc certain these efforts have not been fruitless. Chester J. Terrill, Pd.B., B.A., M.A. Instructor in Accounting Professor Terrill’s training of the students in accuracy, in conjunction with the business subjects of pharmacy, will not be confined to figures, but transferred to the scrupulous pre- cision required of one in the art of prescription compounding. He is thus to be lauded for the formation of this all-important characteristic in our future pharmacists. John J. Glemmer, B.S., M.D. Director of Bender Laboratory and Professor of Pathology The Bender Laboratory, offering Medical Technology stu- dies and affiliated bacteriological work, is ably guided by Dr. Clcmmcr, its director. His desire to engage the interest of the students in acquisition of knowledge rather than credits, reveal a sincere interest in propagating to society such a benevolent work. He imparts this spirit to his co-workers, who thus uni- fied, present a correlated series of instructions. Fourteen Pharmakon Gesina A. F. De Hole, B.S., M.A. Instructor in Bacteriology and Serology The time-honored reputation of Southern cordiality is demonstrated to us by Miss De Holl. Master of her work, responsive to study and daily experience as the supervisor cf the bacteriological unit of the Bender Laboratory, she repre- sents an authority and is teemed as such by her pupils. Her background of general laboratory knowledge brings forth those evcr-rcady and satisfying answers; her characteristic sense of humor brings forth that evcr-weicome and refreshing sm;le. Sumner B. Cotzin. B.S.. Ph.D. Professor of Chemistry Organic Chemistry- is a fool-proof test of the possesion, or otherwise, of patience, mainly on the part of the professor. Dr. Cotzin survives the test admirably. With a knowledge of the subject which he presents, comes one also of the difficulties encountered by his students and his tireless repetition brings to him a grateful response. Katherine E. Glavin, Registrar All things gravitate to and from the main office and thus our associations with Miss Glavin are many and frequent. We find her always ready to be of service and cheerfully so. Her efficiency docs not permit of careess leniency but of patient inducement to compliance; her pleasing manner and sympa- thetic attitude are more than appreciated by those of us with whom she comes in contact. Fifteen Jesse F. Stinard, A.B., A.M. Instructor in German Since pharmacal studies are almost exclusively scientific, they embrace even a scientific language, of which Professor Stinard is the capable master. His kindly manner and con- sistent class procedures render more facile that which would otherwise prove so difficult an undertaking for those whom he instructs. Dr. William J. Martin, Jr., Ph.G., M.D. Instructor in Zoology Uncle Sam has requested the services of this competent local physician who is also a representative member of our faculty. The nature of his leave of absence will but raise our admiration of him and will make more jubilant the reassuming of his for- mer duties. Dr. Martin's conscientious endeavors in behalf of our education result in systematic teaching and comprehensive learning. Arthur G. Kemnitzf.r, B.S. Instructor in Biochemistry and Sterilization Exactitude in detail represents efficiency in scientific study. The careful supervision of our work by Mr. Kemnitzer de- manded and encouraged such procedures, for which training we are duly grateful to him. Ilis precision and accuracy in calculations while lecturing or demonstrating, inspired in us a confidence in his ability. Self-confidence on our parts auto- matically resulted, and through this we felt the satisfaction of accomplishment. Alexander A. Kosinski, B.A., M.D. As instructor in one. of the most practical “Bender1’ courses, Dr. Kosinski is afforded an opportunity for giving a compre- hensive insight to the work to be embraced by the medical technologists. His lucid presentations of subject matter and his requesting rather than commanding attitude, win for him the cooperation of the students. John J. Marra, B.S., M.S., M.D. Instructor in Hematology Dr. Marra is the type of person one delights in meeting often. Ilis quiet, friendly bearing manifests outwardly an innote kindliness. These admirable traits make our sessions with him a pleasure and render us more receptive to his instructions. With him, continuous practical experiencing of what is taught constitutes no small asset to such a profession. Sixteen Seventeen Eighteen Pharmaikon SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Class of January 1944: Three years ago in September, 1940, twenty-five students entered the portals of A.C.P., never thinking that their group would graduate with a class, consisting of only six members. This country was at peace then and the boys still held the reins at A.C.P. Our first important function as a class was to choose officers to look out for our interests. Those elected were: T. Hanley . N. Werlin . Peggy Israel J. Beeble . : Zelma Schoenffxd Frank Sweeney . President Vice-President Secretary 7 reasurer . Historian Student Council The highlight of the year’s social events was the Freshman-Sophomore dance, which proved to be a success. Sophomore Year—Ah! Upperclassmen at last. There is an air of uncertainty as the war clouds of the world grow. Already we have lost one of our men to the U. S. Navy—J. Mongiello—the first of our group to enter the armed forces. There is talk around school that we shall have to attend summer sessions so that an accelerated program may be sponsored. Some are in favor and some aren’t. The final decision was to have only the present Junior class attend. It was also in this year that we chose Joe Palisi, able student and athlete to head our class as president. September, 1942, finds the class of “44” again reduced in number. We are now nineteen in number. We soon learn that the summer that we have just enjoyed will be our last one until we graduate. Because of the accelerated program wc will now graduate in January 1944, instead of June. Activities, both social and business, were ably taken care of by our genial president, George George. The boys of the class participated in bowling, basketball and ping pong, while the girls favored sponsoring dances. Although it was thought that Uncle Sam was going to allow our boys to complete their schooling, the Army Reserve men were called in May of this year. We lost ten men to the Khaki, and three to the Navy Blue. They included: J. Beeble Prentiss Deringcr G. George W. Globcrson T. Hanley E. Hunting R. Major P. Rinaldi M. Silverman J. Stepner E. Sternfcld F. Sweeney N. Werlin Nineteen Alembic It was in this year that Dean O’Brien officially assumed his duties at A.C.P. We the class of “44” wish him the best of luck in his undertakings. After two weeks of vacation, the summer session started. Slowly that famous ratio of male students vs. female students shifted. The weaker sex was in power at last. The senior class elected tow'ering Tom Pitts as president. Several dances and a boat trip were sponsored by the student council and were a great treat to all. The last and final highlight that we, the class of “44” will enjoy is the Alumni Banquet, at which we are to receive our “Sheepskins”. It is with sorrow' and delight that we look forward to this—sorrow because we are leaving school, friends and. instructors; and delight because at last we are going out into the wrorld, each for a diff erent reason. Before I write the final lines to this history, I should like to mention that about ten years from now, if any of you reading this, should happen to return to Albany and pass A.C.P. and you hear a great deal of noise, shouting and laughing, you’ll know that is the first reunion of the class of “44”—all twenty-five of us. Yes, ten years from now, our class has decided to hold a real get-together. All are invited so come one, come all ! ! ! Class of September 1944: Back in 1941 we far from anticipated being seniors in 1944, but here we are— or rather here are a small number of us. When we first started we were twenty- five, but the army and navy have left us with but nine. The diminishing class, along with the cessation of the summer vacations, and other distinct changes have definitely brought the war close to all of us. Our freshman year progressed according to schedule. That wras before Uncle Sam took over. Dean Mansfield presided over us and we soon adopted ourselves to “college life”, both scholastically and socially. Those were the days of bowling, basketball, Senior Formal, student banquet, and the various other extra-curricular activities that wrc indulged in. Don’t misunderstand,—we did study and broadened our knowledge along Pharmaceutical lines; what one of us will ever forget Dr. Lutz’s nine o’clock Chemistry classes; he did his best, but attempting to grasp the principles of chemistry while in a semi-conscious state proved to be slightly difficult. One of our classmates, Jerry Nelligan, left after several months to join the U. S. Marines—the first one of us to join the armed services. The four months from May to September raced by and again we settled down to concentrating on text books, that is, all of us except “Lcs” Coons and “Collie” Bcvilaqua, who through one of those institutions known as a “draft board” changed their residence from Albany to the U. S. Army. Everyone took A.C.P. more seriously this year—after all we were seeking an education and if we were fortunate enough to possess the opportunity when so many students had lost it, why not take advantage of circumstances. We still took time out for a bowling team and a basketball team though. Our patriotism along with Dr. Dwyer’s influence, led us to cultivate a victory garden on the college campus as a Botany “side-line”. We were each given a vege- table to plant and some of the energetic members lent their abilities to spade the ground. Dr. Dwyer eventually “took over” and proudly reaped cabbage, toma- toes, and spinach. Twenty Fharmakoai Along with final exams came an announcement that caused every one of us to stop and think; the army and navy reserves were to be inducted into active service and as several men had already left in the previous few months, that would leave us very depleted. We left for a two weeks vacation, knowing that it was “good-bye” for a while to some swell fellows. Juniors already, but what a quiet place was A.C.P.; “sorta” made one lonesome. It took a few weeks to accustom ourselves to such small classes and calm surround- ings. Also attending classes during the summer months seemed like a tedious under- taking, but we chalked it up to the war, and liked it. It was during this year that Dean O’Brien took over his new job, and we wish him luck in all he does. Another change was the absence of Edward Wolff, our former instructor in Pharmacy who had left for the University of Purdue, but Miss Janis Best succeeded him—now one of our favorite profs. We held our regular class election and the following took office: Richard Foley ........ President Claudia H. Stafford....................................Vice-President Gertrude A. DeNure ....... Secretary During the summer several in the class participated in tennis tournaments; we also joined with the other classes in a boat trip to Kingston Point, which turned out to be a very enjoyable day. In the Fall several of our proud soldiers and sailors paid a visit to A.C.P. and were we glad to see them! They all looked grand; “a uniform seems to do some- thing to a man”. At the end of the year we held Class elections for the senior officers—time never stands still— The following were elected: Edith G. Bactowsky . . . . President Anthony Siro . Vice-President Claudia H. Stafford . Secretary Desmond A. Siddon . Historian So onward we rise as dignified seniors—seems impossible that in less than a year we will all be in the Sendee or working as pharmacists or technicians in civilian life. It will be four years that we can look back upon as being the happiest years of our lives—seems incredible that so many things can happen in such a short span of years. Before we leave we want to wish those who are now in the service the best of luck, and we depart with the sincerest hopes that in a very short while they too may be graduating from A.C.P. The best of luck to: C. Bevilaqua, Leslie Coons, C. DeChristopher, G. Goldberg, J. Hibbard, T. LoPresti, and C. Mazzatti of the Army, and to S. Dibble, W. Houghtaling, S. Levine, P. Nosowich, P. Wolkoff of the Navy, and to A. Fiore, who is in the Marines. So long and best of luck to the Juniors, Sophomores and the Frosh—! ! ! C. H. S. E. G. B. M. G. M. M. K.

To Mary Gaudio, Torn Pitts’ height. To Stew Kaskel. Fratto’s crib notes. To Roger Hess, Horowitz’s way with his wife. To Peg Sassman, Peggy’s book on how to get a husband. To Irwin Engieman, Sid’s room and date book at the “600 Club”. To Betty Hagaman, Trudy’s marks. To Phil Erb, Siro’s right to go out with nurses. To Joe Gazzillo, Emma’s voice. To Georgiana, Edith’s hilarity. To an alumnus, Claudia’s love. To “Gert” Maleski, Ida’s way with men. To Norm Yaguda, Joe Palisi’s ping pong tactics. To Marene Schermcrhorn, Knapp’s personality. To Joe Ferro, “Len” Westerman’s book on “How to Play Winning Ping Pong”. “After the Duration” or “When the Lights Go on Again” This is the year nineteen eleventy-four and it is time for a census. Mr. Dean, tracer of lost Pharmacy students, has been contracted by A.C.P., to trace the members of it’s “favorite” classes of 1944. Dean’s first assignment takes him to Buffalo, N. Y. As the train puffs into the station, Dean’s keen eyes pick out Les Horwitz, eagerly awaiting the arrival of his son Hanley, and Family, home from his Freshman year at Pharmacy College (Albany of Course). On speaking to “Uncle Les” Dean learns that Leo Wcsterman, better known as The Ping-Pong of Hudson Valley, is operating the latest branch of the rapid expanding Westerman Drug Corporation of Claverack. As Dean is boarding the train again, a frantic messenger boy (boys have again replaced girls) rushes up shouting, “have you got it ? did you find it ? . . . where is it ? . . . why Joe Palisi’s sulfate of course. Twenty-eight Pharmakoo Checking the telephone directory in Boston, Mr. Dean finds that several of the 44crs are located in this city. Now, there’s Joe Palisi for instance, on the corner of Eighth and ten-after-four, setting up the post-war Blackstone Pharmacy. It is rumored that he also has night classes in Hematology for nurses. Entering the Statler Hotel he sees a sign advertising the joint convention of Kappa Psi and Lambda Kappa Sigma. The hotel beds here, he notices, are furnished with blankets by DeNure. Trudy did very well with the blanket club of sorority days. . . . She now is a member of the Sorority Grand Council, he hears. Going directly to New York by helicopter, he arrives in time to take in Emma’s opening performance at the “Met”. The numbers most applauded were, “Mortar with the Pestle on Top”, “Oh What a Beautiful Morning”, . . . (well along about ten-thirty anyway), and “I’m going to sit right down and write myself a Thesis” (on asparagus for “Doc” Dwyer). After 6 minutes of applause he graciously turns it over to his accompanist, Ivan Schloviski Kromph, offstage known as Desmond Siddon. Two distracting individuals, seated behind Mr. Dean, break out in a momentary argument whether so-and-so’s shoes are Bostonians, and his suit of British or Scottish Tweed. Yes it’s Pitts and Fratto, the latter calling the former, “You stupid Britisher”. They’re really friends you know. Fratto is back with Whelan’s. lie finds it more profitable there as manager than refilling Narcotic RX’s at Chester. Aside from that, he’s working for his PhD. by experiments on theory of using “Boric Acid to overcome all Incompatabilities”. Pitts informed Mr. Dean that Navy Life was O.K., but he was glad to be back with his father, in business. The only information that could be obtained of Edith and Claudia, was that they were applying their knowledge of Incompatabilities to the kitchen. On the way back to A.C.P., Mr. Dean stopped into “Goldberg-Goldberg and Goldberg Apothecary Shoppe. Peg always said that her Uncle’s store was small, but this was the first Drug Store he had ever seen where the lights go off every time the door opens. . . . “Stand back please”. . . . “Say, what’s going on”. . . . They’re stopping all the traffic here on the corner of State and “Poil”, some guy is being lowered from the trolley wires on a “Steeplejack’s chair”. Say that’s Dick Foley sure enough. Inquisitively, Mr. Dean obtained the following information. . . . Richard Foley, of Snodgrass Publications Ltd., is gathering special data and “shots” for “Life goes on a Trolley Ride”, for a magazine of the same name. Mr. Dean found Ida Rickey working as chief technician in Becble’s Labs. Ida told him that Mary Knapp of Park Ave., (Albany), has only six weeks to go in the employ of the Bell Telephone Company, before they call it even. Snapping on the radio in his room Mr. Dean heard a “Quiz Program” in progress coming from the campus of Union College. . . . The M.C. is none other than Tony Siro. . . . He’s still asking questions. Returning to A.C.P. with his information, Mr. Dean is greeted at the front door by Fred Mathers who informs him that the old institution has survived it’s era of women majority, and that the stronger sex is now in control ...111 Twenty-nine Seated left to right: P.

Fharjmajkom In September of ’42 we entered the portals of A.C.P. as quite an impressive class of shining countenances and receptive minds. We were fairly successful and as our freshman year drew to a happy end we hoped to keep bound the ties of fellowship and joy we had found as a class. After an all too brief two-week vacation we returned in June with the more, and more threatening war clouds hovering above us. However we still claimed most of our former classmates as our own. Ofliccrs were elected as follows: Leo Mazayvay Gf.rai.d Wheeler . Maria Gaudio Henry Dam.m President Vice-President Secretary I listorian 11, ji : .ii P to!!: 3 :S'I| |jV The year wore on and we enjoyed various functions, our sorority and respective fraternities. But slowly our ranks became depleted and another election of officers was necessary: Armand Cerro .... President Phillip Erb ..... Vice-President Maria Gaudio .... Secretary Still more of our classmates joined the armed forces, which resulted in still another set of officers. The following were chosen to complete our Sophomore session: Irwin Engleman .... President Phillip Erb ..... Vice-President Maria Gaudio .... Secretary Margaret Sassman Historian We have also decided to keep these same officers for our Junior year. At present there are still eight of us carrying on. We can’t say where the future may lead us. but we can all glory in a rich, happy and joyous past. There isn’t much left to say, except to the faithful loyal instructors who have helped guide us this far down a hard rough road, and in honor of those who have left us to fight for the greatest heritage on earth, we humbly wish the best of luck and Godspeed.

SOPHOMORE STORY When the lab instructors began to get calls for bottle spacers and molecular weights, they knew that a new Freshman class had arrived. This class of Albany College of Pharmacy was officially enrolled on June 27, 1943 and had the honor of starting the new accelerated schedule. At this time most of the class saw the College for the first time and formed their own ideas of college life. The next week was filled with complete amazement that we had finally become college men and women, and after we had purchased our text books wc could see that there was going to be plenty to do in our spare time. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the first few weeks was the attitude of the Seniors toward the Freshmen. It was unbelievable that there could be a group of Seniors that were really human. I hope our class will remember this fact when the day comes that we are also Seniors. Our first class meeting was held in July for the purpose of electing the Fresh- men officers.

Thirty-five Alembic Thirty-six Pharmakoe FRESHMEN September, ’43 found six eager homo sapiens entering A.C.P. armed with curiosity, willingness to learn and high hopes. The class of ’46 which we believe is the smallest in the history of the college, boasts four Pharmacists and two labora- tory technicians. Our only sports activity has been the weekly calesthenics enacted in our First Aid classes applying leg splints. We gleefully participated in the dances given by the Seniors at which we met the Upperclassmen. Shortly before Christmas we lost one of the most promising members of our class to an army Lieutenant; our welcome mat is awaiting your return, Mrs. Holly. And so we bid adieu, hoping to have climbed one step nearer the mortar and pestle. Thirty-seven Alembic 0 e 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 r!

To these men we take our hats off, and together with the faculty, wish them the best of luck. John Beeble, ’44 Prentiss A. Derringer, ’44 George George. ’44- William Globcrson, ’44 Thomas C.

I heard and my grip on the pestle grew tight; I heard and I knew I was in for a fight; Maybe not with a gun or a tank or a plane But if—God forbid- bombs start in to rain And sirens start screaming their warning in vain. Where else, but to me, would folks flock for aid? 1 must be on duty to answer their call, To give of my knowledge, my skill and my all. In peace, the word “Service” is a creed of my store; In war that creed’s needed a hundredfold more. ©0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Forty Pfoarmakom Forty-one ACTIVITIES Forty-two I .

Pharmakcm LAMBDA KAPPA SIGMA Lambda Kappa Sigma, which was formed in 1914 at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy in Boston is a national sorority for women in Pharmacy and its allied professions. The original group became known as the Alpha Chapter, and since the chapter at the Albany College of Pharmacy was the first to unite with it, it became the Beta Chapter. On March 24, 1943 the following officers were elected; Pres. G. DcNure; Vice- Pres. E. Bactowsky; Corresponding Sec. E. Abare; Sec. M. Gaudio; Treas. M. Goldberg. Although Beta Chapter has not been able to keep in step with past eventful years due to the accelerated program. It has nevertheless, had a few activities. We started our social season by having a wedding show-cr for Mrs. Bernard Goldberg, the former Per Israel. The formal initiation and buffet luncheon was held at the home of Miss Rickey and Miss Knapp with Misses Maleski, Schermerhorn, Beaty as guests of honor. In July we enjoyed a delightful day at Mid-City. Nov. 6th our Pres, attended the eastern regional meeting in Boston. Our Main event of the year was the start- ing of a blanket club as a means of raising funds, which w'as very successful. At a recent meeting new officers were elected; Pres. E. Abare; Vicc-Prcs. C. Stafford; Sec. M. Schermerhorn; Corresponding Sec. M. Sassman; Treas. G. Maleski. We extend our best wishes to the graduating class. M. E. G.

Pfaarm£4]kQii KAPPA PSI Kappa Psi is the oldest national pharmaceutical fraternity in existence. The purpose of our fraternity is to promote good fellowship among the students of the college, to encourage good scholarship, and to promote loyally to our school and to our teachers, who have guided us so ably and patiently through our years of study. Due to the war. the membership of Kappa Psi has fallen considerably, but we are striving to keep the membership of our fraternity up. In September we gave a dinner at the Washington Tavern for the new mem- bers of the fraternity. Later, in November we enjoyed a smoker at the home of Professor L. R. Hanmer. In January 1944, Tom Pitts was appointed as a delegate of Beta Delta Chap- ter of the Albany College of Pharmacy, to represent us at the national convention, which was held in New York City. At a meeting in January the following officers were ejected: Anthony J. Siro . Roger F. Hess Harold Elliott . William Wheelock Anthony J. Siro . Reagent Vice-Reagent Chaplain Secretary T re astir er In closing, we wish to extend our best wishes to the members of the graduat- ing class and to our brothers who have left us to serve their country. Forty-five R. F. H. John T. Pitts ... .... President William WheisloCk ....... Secretary The Student Council of the Albany College of Pharmacy is the governing instrument of the student body. It is composed of the President and Vice-President of each class. They are advised bv the Dean who acts as counsellor. Its functions to aid in the solution of problems which arise from curricular and extra-curricular activities of the student body. A list of activities was submitted to the student body for approval, after which the council prepared a budget for these activities. The budget was approved by a unanimous vote of the student body. It was decided to include the student banquet with the graduation exercises for the first time in the history of the school. The Student Council wishes to express its appreciation and thanks to Dean O’Brien and Miss Glavin, the faculty and the students for their cooperation in making the school year a success.

Forty-seven Intramural Tennis During this summer session, tennis was the most prominent contender in the sports limelight at A.C.P. All matches and tournaments were played at Ridgefield Park. The final tournament of the year, which was to determine the tennis champ of 1943, was won by “Jimmy” Davis. Davis showed profound skill in his serves, slashes, and fine net play. He found slight trouble in outplaying “Arm” Cerro and went on to beat “Stew” Kaskel for the championship of the College. The results of the tournament are as follows: Kaskel Kmma Foley Siddon Whcelock Hess Cerro Engleman Davis Ferro J Kaskel f Foley I Wheelock j Cerro Davis Cerro ] I ( i J Kaskel') Davis J Davis Champ All the members of the tennis team wish to express their appreciation and thanks to Dr. John Dwyer for making tennis at A.C.P. possible. Intramural Ping Pong Ping Pong seemed to be the general pastime for students between classes. In the Ping Pong Tournament, “Practical” Joe Palisi copped top honors, with “Stew” Kaskel holding the runner-up spot.

CAMERA CLUB The camera club of the Albany College of Pharmacy was first started in 1938, under the supervision of a past instructor, Mr. Cooper. Since then the club has progressed as an ever increasing activity of the school, so that now there is a completely equipped darkroom at the disposal of the members. Anyone with just a camera and a desire to do or to learn how to do photo- graphic work is eligible for membership. Learning the technique of developing, printing and enlarging, is easily done under the guidance of one of the active members or the club faculty adviser, Prof. Reed, who takes a keen interest in our work. Many of the pictures in this yearbook arc contributions of the various members. Due to the war and the shortage of film and supplies, the club was not as active this year as we had hoped it would be, still there were some (who were lucky enough to get film) who carried on their photography. We hope that this year the club will have a large membership and carry on the work of the past years. E. B. Fifty-one Alembic ALUMNI ASSOCIATION As a departure from precedent, our annual meeting and reunion banquet was held in conjunction with Commencement Exercises February 2, 1944 at the Ten Eyck Hotel. Instead of the usual after dinner speakers' we had the pleasure of par- ticipating in the awarding of degrees to the six members of the Senior class. The affair was such a success that we hope to continue this type of annual program at least for the duration. It is pleasant to report that our drive for the Coal Conversion Fund was a complete success. Under the guidance of Chairman Harry Van Vleck nearly $3500 was collected from over 500 members of the association. Our Alumni Committee has functioned very well during the past year. High schools were visited and many prospective students interviewed. We feel that this is one of our most important activities since both the college and the profession must have a continuous supply of qualified men to replace those lost annually. At the annual meeting the following officers were elected: Harry Honikel, ’98 Ethel Rasmuson, ’20 William Lippman, ’22 Lauren Hanmer, ’30 Francis O’Brien, ’20 Claude Reed ’32 .

Fifty-two Fiiarmakon Fifty-three JUST PLAIN Alembic Ah! A sophomore! Methought there was nothing more gracious than the act of being a sophomore. Well I got my wish after a. very hard struggle and am now in the act of being one of those sophomores (and it ain’t gracious). Oh! we certainly do lead a hard life. Just let me give a fcrinstancc............ I open my eye and let it droop back with shock. This is going to be one of my ba-a-ad days. First the alarm forgot to go off and I’m almost going to be late. Second it’s half raining and half snowing out and my rubbers, raincoat and various other necessities of damp, Albany weather are in the safe keeping of “Uncle Mac”. Third, I just remembered all those lessons which completely slipped my mind last night as I, with other classmates, reveled in the merriment and festivities found only in those sweet little establishments about town. Fourth, I have a queer feeling in the head from my last chocolate soda! ! ! ! Well, I’m standing on my feet unaided, so I guess I can bear the “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune” for a day. “It seems that an Englishman, William Gilbert, in the year 1600, was the first to point out that the earth is just a great big magnet. Therefore . . . Oh! Oh! I’m late for physics. I hear the professor’s sweet, clear, bell-like voice ringing down the tomb-like hall of the third floor. Thinking he can do no more than diverge for a moment upon the mannerisms of a mannerless sophomore, I meekly step over the threshold and walk countless miles to a seat in the back row. There I take my place among other physics unenthusiasts, assuming an extremely yet blank, angelic look, I take notes feverishly. Apparently “Prof” slept well last night for there is not a single reprimand. The first hour draw's to a close as I learn that the North pole is really the South pole and vice versa! Oh! This is a queer w'orld, is it not? Ten minutes of complete relaxation as I dash from the third floor to the first and back to the third, where I left my notebook, and back to the first to get my Botany books, (which incidentally, I always carry to class with me!) and back to the second floor in time to start from scratch on the intricacies of “purely elementary” reductional division. The professor tells a beautiful joke, high in corn content, and after a horrifying silence settles over the class, asks us to turn to a ccr- Fijty-jour Ph.girma.koii tain page where we will find the most gorgeous pictures ever drawn of a great art . . . Amitosis. Nudging my classmate, I ask if that has anything to do with gaposis or halitosis! Oh horror of harrow! ‘Prof” has heard me and so have countless others. The countless others roar with laughter but “prof” just won’t roar with laughter. He just roars. Oh! for a hole in the ground. But there is none, so I suffer some more “slings and arrows” to the hour’s end. Ah! First Aid for two delightful hours. Now there is something. I have a chance to snooze if there is artificial respiration, and I should rest well even if I have my breathing done for me. After a long, long lecture on how to get rid of poison, (this lecture is a bit disconcerting to me as I am not of strong stomach today) we have our practical second hour. NO artificial respiration! ! ! Oh Woe! pressure points and tourniquets instead. I almost hear Gabriel blow that horn as a sweet but simple, classmate applies a tourniquet to my neck. Oh, such is life! Half an hour for lunch! Good, I’ll sleep. Oh no I won’t either because we have an afternoon of Organic. That means the usual quiz in the offing. O. K. so I study. But do I know what I should? No, I do not. Well the genius who sits next to me writes good and dark, so why should I worry'? After one and one-half hours of unspeakable torture in organic class, we retire to the lab for more work. Unknowns for lab. Ah! Right up my alley, because if unknowns are unknown I’m just the person who can keep them that way......... The “brews” are mixed. 1 hold my nose and back away. I’m correct! ! ! ! I do know something after all! I thought it would blow up. . . . and sure enough it did! ! ! What a mess. It’s in my hair too. It’s ori the ceiling. In fact it’s all over. ... I always did want to go to scrub-women’s school anyway. Well, I’m the last one out of the lab. I didn’t accomplish much in the interest of science, but I’m still alive and that’s what counts. I’m looking forward to Quantitative analysis, Poli Sci, and Pharmacy tomorrow. The questions I must solve are whether to juggle a few quan, figures or to keep my integrity as the text suggests; to make or break a few emulsions in Pharmacy lab; and whether or not to catch up on some correspondence in Poli Sci class; or should I just develop appendicitis and stay home tomorrow? Now to you embryonic Pharmacists yet to see the “sophomore life”, I can’t say anything, because I don’t want to disillusion you ahead of time. And to you who have passed the terrible stages, I tip my hat. But I’ve found out one thing about being a sophomore, it is just what I thought it wasn’t going to be. Oh! for the life of a marine! !!!!!! A Soph. Fifty-five Alembic CAMPUS LOVE A damsel fair from Smithville Flats Once caused my love to bloom. My heart beat always quickened when Fair Peg came in the room. Her rotund form and winning smile Once held a charm for me. Such lovely hair and soft brown eyes, I thought could never be. Alas! This damsel fair was cruel, Unto the nth degree. Inspite of all mv love for her, She did not care for me. With scorn she looked upon my love. With glee she broke my heart. And always when she spoke to me, Her tongue was very tart. Insults upon my head she heaped “You are a drip,” she said. “If anything could please me much ’Twould be to see you dead!” Indeed, this girl from Smithville Flats Has tried my soul full sore. And now I always sigh with joy When Peg goes out the door. P. E. Fifty-six Phsirmakon 'I'he first time I set foot in A.C.P. An awful sight I chanced to see, He gangled and hung on loose hinges, And looked as if he had no meninges! In class after class I happened to see His eyes hanging out as he gazed at me He moaned and slobbered and I felt perturbed, But on he driveled and I became disturbed. I told him off as I thought I should, And I said all the things that a lady could; But still he persisted and came back for more, So forgetting I was a lady, I told him the score! I guess that did it, for starting that day, With moronish dignity he stayed away! For where there was joy at the coming of me, My retreating back he was happy to see. But I feared ’twas a job all done in vain, And I dreaded the day ’twould begin again. But my worries have ceased and peace I can afford “Cause He’s been classed 1-A by the old draft board!” P. S. Alembic It was April, nineteen hundred and forty-three, A big, big frog was handed to me. The color was green, marked with black. 1 looked at him and wanted to hand him back. But I glanced at prof and changed my mind; So I turned him over to sec what I could find. A slit on his hip was all I could see Where prof said “Latex w-as put in an artery.” Deep in formalin he was laid Then brought out and skinned with a blade. Friday after Friday we did our work. Prof kept at us; so we didn’t shirk. The digestive organs first we did view. And all wre could say was “phew, phew', phew! !” The nervous system w'e studied hard— Until our nerves were almost jarred! ! ! The circulatory system next w;e did attack,— The arteries went out and the veins came back. Then one day, out came his brain— It was so large, he must have been sane! iP.hsirmakoo Each time after class, into the bucket he went; And each time he came out with a much worse scent. We’d carry him gently back to the table And try to learn all we were able. He’d gone through a lot, poor “Davy Jones”; For all he had left were a very few bones. So they were boiled and scraped ’till clean— All I can say is-—We were awfully mean! EPILOGUE “And so my story comes to a close— Very abrupt as you’d suppose. What they’ll do with my poor old bones Is all that troubles me, Davy Jones. All who follow and meet the same fate I want to greet at the “Pearly Gate”— We’ll talk a lot, believe you me— How we were treated at A.C.P.” B. J. H. Fifty-nine Phil Erb:—My, but you look sweet enough to eat Peg Sassman:—I do cat, where shall we go? You can always tell a Sophomore He is so sedately dressed; You can always tell a Junior, By the way he swells his chest; You can always tell a Freshman By his timid (?) ways and such; You can always tell a Senior, But you can’t tell him much.
