His patience, understanding, and good judgment have all helped to steer our course aright. His interesting lectures are enjoyed by all the students. Dr. O’Brien is an alumnus of our Alma Mater, having received his Ph.G. here in 1920. Soon after this he became a member of the staff here and continued his study to obtain his Ph.C. in 1929. Fie attended the New York State College for Teachers and received his A.B. degree in 1936. He continued his education and in 1940 he was granted his Ph.D. degree from Fordham University.

C. P., let us look back with fond memories on the days we spent here. When wc started in 1944, we were greeted with open arms. Those were the days when Dr. O’Brien had time to speak to the students for as long as they wished. Those of us that entered in June, attended the graduation of the Class of ’44. The October group was greeted with a get-acquainted dance. After that things began to liven up. Everyone knew each other and we were just like one big happy family. We forgot we were mere freshmen and began to take an interest in studies and activities. The Christmas dance was one of the big affairs of the year. The student council appropriated money for a sleigh ride which was well attended. In the spring of that year, there didn’t seem to be enough activities to satisfy us lowly freshmen—we had to have a class picnic. Caryl Ileeder invited us out and allowed us complete run of her place. We roasted hot dogs and marshmallows in an out- door fire place, drank pop and played baseball. In the evening we sang and danced in the house and talented members of the class played the piano. We learned a lot though—about Doc Dwyer’s Johnny Jones, O’B’s pet squirrel on the lawn, Prof. Hanmcr’s dog Jerry, and Prof. Reed’s pet' expression, “Now if you’ll bear with me.” Exams were getting close and we decided it was high time to buckle down. After all, we couldn’t be freshmen forever. After two weeks vacation in June, we were back to the old grind. Now that we were upper classmen, life was to be wonderful. That was until we ambled into Quant Lab on a hot humid day when we would much rather have been out swim- ming. By that time Bob Dyroff had left for the Army and Marvin Berkowitz for the Navy. On one hot August night the girls of the class were taking the fellows out as part of sorority initiation. That was really a night we won’t forget because the V.J. announcement came through resulting in a sudden change of plans. In October another Freshman class started and with that so did more activities. That winter there were more informal dances, a formal and a sleigh ride. Twenty Pharmakon February rolled around and we were Juniors. A1 Fcluren left us to join the Army but will be back next semester. Ex-servicemen started pouring in—Frank Sweeney, Ed Sternfeld, George George, Moe Silverman, Phil Erb, Stew Kaskel, Jim Burnham, Ed Hunting, Glint Howland, Dick Major and Tom Walker. Dick Mac- Lagger joined our class. Gene Peterson, transfer from Buffalo, and Flerb Michaels from Rutgers also became members. This year Prof. Lionetti gave us the works in Organic Lab and Prof. Hanmer tried to get doses through our thick skulls, con- stantly telling us we’d have to know them for Tox. In June, the one section left for summer vacation while the remainder stayed on to catch up with them. The big event of this semester was the clambake. Dr. O’Brien is still wondering about the ratio of beer to soda that was consumed. In October the two groups joined to make up our senior class. No one seemed to be proud that we were seniors except ourselves. As the year wore on, we too, had our doubts. Leaving A. C. P. to start on a new venture, we know w'e shall never forget our years here. Although we have not showed it, we would like the faculty to know that we will always remember what they have done for us.

Thirty-five Alembic EXCERPT FROM ALUMNI NEWS—June ’72 The June 1972 graduation saw Dr. F. J. O’Brien surrendering his role as Dean of A. C. P. to Dr. Earl W. Davis. B,S., M.A., A.M,D.D.T, T.S., P.H.D., P.U. As this was also the 25th anniversary of the graduation of the class of ’47. a class reunion was held. We noticed Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sweeney (nee Ruth MeCully) speaking to their son who graduated as Valedictorian of the class. Over in the corner. Prof. Hanmer was telling Gcrt Jankowski's daughter, who also graduated on that day about the time that her mother blew a fuse in Mat. Med. class. Who came in the door then but Jim Burnham with a smile on his face. At long lasL he had found a place to live, even though he had to build a ten story apartment house to get it. Jim told us that Herb Michaels ancl Bill Globerson were down in the Boy’s Room resuming their old ping pong rivalry of ’47. Following the aroma of a good cigar we found Ed Sternfeld vigorously oppos- ing the proposed 10 year Pharmacy course while Dr. Morris Silverman, professor of Poli Sci and Jurisprudence was wholeheartedly defending it. Stew Kaskek D.D.S., followed in his fathers footsteps and now has taken over the dental office on the corner of State and Pearl, but Ed Hunting elected to depart from his father’s professional pharmacy and is the proud owner of a drugstore with the most lavish and prosperous soda fountain in Albany. A little apart from the main group, Laura and Louise were showing pictures of their offsprings to Dr. O’Brien who nodded his approval. Can it be even though he is leaving he is still interested in prospective students? Suddenly, the steady hum was broken by the dignified entrance -of Drs. Walker and Howland, professors at Princeton. They were greeted by Jane Fleszar and Velda Abel—pharmacists in New York. Velda. prompted by her still healthy appetite suggested that they leave to join the others at the ultra fashionable 119 Club, for the celebration. Thirty-six Pharmakon After a marvelous dinner Buck Martin, Master of Ceremonies who, head of the Pharmaceutical Association, read telegrams from some of those who were unable to attend. Among them were Pat Sullivan, Medical Technologist in Alaska; Mary Saltsman, head Technician in Shanghai Hospital; and Harvey Ripps, who is prac- ticing Pharmacy on a lazy South Pacific Isle. After reading the telegrams, Mr. Martin introduced Gene Peterson, Mayor of Oakfield, whose subject was “The Art of Making a Smooth Emulsion.” Upon hearing the subject, Regina Snyder turned with sudden interest for she was still unable to make an emulsion without cracking it. Following the speech the Technicians Joanne iShea, Alfreda Swider and Jane Rezzoali clumped together to congratulate Arlene Halsdorf on her appointment as Bacteriologist at Bender. Dick Major wfas trying to persuade Jo Stancampiano to leave her job in a hospital pharmacy and become his partner in a group of chain stores he purchased in Binghamton. At the end of the table, Joe Pazicnza w;bile drinking his buttermilk, was attempting to prove its value to Bill Mattocks who still insists on drinking the un- adulterated product. Phil Erb and George George were discussing plans on how to raise money for dormitories to 'be erected on the former site of the State Lab. This land has been purchased by the Alumni Association to enlarge the college campus which now in- cludes the grounds once held by C. B. A. At the bar Jerry Stepner received numerous congratulations on the eye striking window display of his new pharmacy located at the corner of Morris and New Scotland Avenue. As people were beginning to leave Howie Slater made a hurried long distance call to Judy—bringing back memories of the old days at A. C. P. Thus you can see that the gang hasn’t changed and the last words to be heard were “See you at the reunion in ’82.” Thirty-seven Alembic Thirty-eight Junior Class History Meet the Juniors, they constitute a class which is fairly representative of post war American college life i.e., a poiygot crew consisting of the original few who entered during the war, a small group of transfers and lastly the large influx of veterans who resumed their studies. It was on a hot day in July of ’45 when that stalwart little band first set foot on the bleak and stony steps of A. G. P. They were fresh from high school but they soon lost their vendure as their accelerated course quickly introduced them to the rigors and joys of freshman life, one of which was the memorable boat ride to Kingston. October came and with it came exams and new recruits. Paul McCann, our class president, came to us from Villa Nova, Art Pitts from Union, Mary Murphy from St. Rose, and Helen Simkins and Ruth McCully from State. Before you could say trochiscation it was February and this group was ready to be assimilated. It was in February that the returning veterans started to swell the ranks. Bill Roche, and Don Cornell, were transfers from Cornell, and Bill Thyne, Carl Bevilac- qua, Carmen Mazzatti, Lou Rosano, George Shockley, Charles Stewart, Paul VVolk- off, and Bob Ahrendtsea returned. Their addition was a welcome one. Bill Mosher from Cornell became Dr. Dwyer’s very capable lab assistant. The warm spring days found us armed with medicine droppers chasing elusive ions in Qual lab and drawing flowers in Botany. With the beginning of the summer session Walter Singer, a graduate of University of Michigan, joined us. The latter eight weeks saw the veterans Alex Fiore, Paul Nosowich, Leo Mazoway, Arm Cerro, Charles DeChristopher, Norman Yaguda, John Hibbard, and Dutch Scheutzow return. We ambled through the re- maining summer weeks pleasantly enough wrestling occasionally with Physics and removing Burdocks after a Botany hike. In October a clambake held in Schenec- tady climaxed the summer semester. As we started the fall term as Juniors, our enrollment was increased by the addition of Torn Hanley and Harold Elliott. Our Junior year has been wonderful to date and we look forward to being seniors in ’48. II. S. Thirty-nine Forty Pharmakon On the brisk day of October 22, 1945, the portals of Albany College of Pharmacy were opened to admit the Freshman Class of some fifty-odd students. This day also opened the doors to a new era of well being, of crowded classrooms, and of noisy halls, whereas before the footsteps of the chosen few resounded through the spacious laboratories and corridors of A. C. P. After receiving an over- whelming number of books, we went to our respective classes with quaking hearts and trembling hands. However, as the weeks went by we soon became as non- chalant as the upperclassmen, and so we found ourselves on the first lap of our journey in Pharmacy College. Fifteen weeks flew by before we realized it, and then we were faced with exams. Trying to keep our air of nonchalance, we bravely went to our exams with sharpened pencils clenched tightly in our hands. The week came to an end none too quickly for us and thus was completed our first semester. The second semester went equally as fast for us, and with its passing, we were again faced with exams. However, having completed the first lap of our journey without much difficulty, we felt reassured about this term. Upon the completion of these exams we saw our first year come to an end. We left for a much needed vacation, but some of the classes had to remain throughout the summer. Among those having to remain were our fellow-classmates to be whom we hoped would greet us with smiling faces when we returned in the fall. With the opening of the fall semester on October 21, 1946, we, the sophomores, became the second largest class in the school. S. I. C. Forty-one Alembic Forty-two Pharmakon Forty-three Alembic At approximately eight-thirty on the blue Monday morning of October twenty- first, nineteen hundred and forty-six, the first embryonic heart beat of the Freshman Class sounded throughout the hallowed hallways of A. C. P. This brand new baby class was distinctive in two ways—first it was the largest class in the history of the college, and secondly it was a very heterogenous class composed of many veterans, married students, and recent high school graduates. The first important matter for this class of destiny was the election of class leaders on the afternoon of November eighth. After a noisy and heated, but business-like session between power politics and independent candidates, the fol- lowing class officers were elected for the 1946-1947 school year: Bill Rehberg..................................................President Humbert Magoiacomo ..... Vice-President Lef. Tripp ....... Secretary-Treasurer Eugene Peterson ...... Class Historian Being a high-spirited class, they decided to inaugurate a Freshman Get- Together, so that all the members of the Freshman Class might know7 each other better. A committee of Dottie Ogden, Margaret Lundstrum, Nelson Smith, Eric Coopper, Ken Edgett, Lee Tripp, Eugene Peterson, Humbert Maggiacomo and Bill Rehberg made preparations for the coming event. Forty-four Pharmakon For three days prior to the big party, A. C. P. took on a touch of the “ole college spirit” with Freshmen parading through the halls, placards hanging around their necks with their names in large bold print. The Freshman Get-Together took place on the night of December fifth. After a very enlightening and humorous welcome address by Dean O’Brien, the ball really started rolling. With Joe Szymanowicz acting as M. C., each member was introduced and given a chance to brag about his home town. A general songfest then took place, with the singing of old fashioned melodies. Special renditions were given by Bette Brown, Bill Rehberg, and the class officers. “Come and get it” was then sounded, and the entire party proceeded to the gym for refreshments cum haste. With a large supply of “Dagwood Sandwiches” pop, potato chips and cookies on hand, an eating good-time was had by all. Pork sandwiches were purposely omitted because the class was then studying taenia solium in Zoology. Dancing then followed in the auditorium. Without a doubt the party was one of the best attended and most successful social function ever held in the school. Knowing that all work and no play is not much fun, several members of the class found time to participate in extra-curricular activities after school hours. Ping Pong was the favorite pastime of most students. It was not long before studying became habit forming. After rushing through mid-term exams, the “midnight oil” burned long and late as the Freshmen crammed for their acid test— first term finals. When roll call was taken on the Monday fol- lowing exams, all members were present; so it is assumed that all passed. “You can close the door now, Richard,” for the embryonic Freshman Class has started to mature towards their Bachelor’s degree, and they plan to stay for three more enduring years. E. P. Forty-five Alembic Forty-six Pharmakon Forty-seven Alembic The school is our own Alma Mater. The day is the last of the week. Sing a little bit softer, Mary, So iny story I can speak. “Don’t make it too long,” says Patricia. “My train for the North’s on the track. Have a good time everybody. By Tuesday I should be back.” Vclda descends from the office Humming this little tune. “I just had a check cashed this morning, And I’m going to Jersey at noon.” A clamourous noise now assails us. “Earl, may wc ride with you? Please.” And then another. It’s Harvey. “Hey, Earl, toss me over the keys.” “How many,” he asks “are there going?” “Let’s see—oh! just a few— There’s Jane and Harvey and Gert and Jo, And then, of course, there’s you.” At last, wc all have departed. The building has quieted down, For many a Pharmacy student Has left for out-of-town. If a bad impression of Friday Has been given by this little verse, You ought to be here on Monday For Monday is even worse. By the time each week-end’s accounted When we’ve quieted down and arc sane The week is practically over And Friday is here once again. R. G. S.

Last June sorority members elected and installed the following officers: President—Velda Abel, Vice-President- Regina Snyder, Corresponding Secretary— Gertrude Jackowski, Recording Secretary—Jane Fleszar, Treasurer—Laura Cana- day, and Chaplain—Josephine Stancampiano. During the summer session eight pledges were initialed into the sorority and later were guests at a dinner marking their reception into the chapter. A second group of Sophomores were pledged this spring. Following their initiation the new members were honored at a dinner held by their sorority sisters. This year also saw Lambda Kappa Sigma coming out of its war time inactivity. The Get Acquainted Party was held as usual to give upperclass girls an opportunity to become better acquainted with the freshman. We were also co-sponsors of the Harvest and Valentine Hops with the fraternities of the college. We congratulate the graduating members and wish them the best of luck. J. D. F. Fifty-one Alembic Fifty-two V- Psi Beta Back to full membership for the first time since 1941, Kappa Psi has once more resumed its place at the head of the majority of extra-curricular activities. Originally Kappa Psi was a literary fraternity but after eight years of such existence, the fraternity became strictly professional by the discontinuation of the academic chapter. Beta Delta Chapter was originated here at the college in 1910 and this year celebrates its thirty-seventh anniversary. It is the oldest organized activity as- sociated with the college. At the present throughout the nation there are 52 collegiate chapters and 36 graduate chapters, making Kappa Psi one of the proudest of professional fraternities. Our activities this year along with our membership have once more resumed their normal course. Our present enrollment is sixty active members. Socially Kappa Psi began the current school year with an intrafraternity-sorority sport dance. After our fall initiation of eighteen new members a private card party was held in their honor. Early in February another intrafraternity-sorority informal dance was held. March 11, Kappa Psi entertained several prospective members at an informal dinner and several brief addresses by outstanding men in this area were given. St. Patrick’s Day we sponsored a very successful Semi-formal Dance at the college. This year Kappa Psi as a service to the students, and through the cooperation of the student body, published a student directory which was very well received. The fraternity hopes to inaugurate this as a traditional publication. Joseph Pazienza ........ Regent Paul McCann ........

Chancellor Vice-Chancellor Scribe . Guardian of the Exchequer Fiery Dragon Faculty Advisor First organized in 1919 at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, Rho Pi Phi has grown rapidly and has leading chapters in every college here and abroad. A roll of honorary members of this fraternity which is dedicated to the ideal of character and scholarship exemplified by that great master Maimonides include such famous personages as Albert Einstein, Eddie Duchin, and presidents of many leading colleges. Beta Chapter of Rho Pi Phi was formed in 1921 at A. G. P. Reactivated in the spring of 1945 it again has taken its position as one of the leading fraternities of the college. In conjunction with the other fraternities and sorority it has presented several dances. In November 1946 its Annual Pledge Smoker was held. Following the Valentine Hop. the new pledges were given their degrees. Those initiated were Gunther Berg, Stan Brownstein, Norman Yaguda, Richard Smith, Daniel Meyerson, and Arthur Margolis. Its activities were continued in March 1946 with a sleighride. This was followed by the announcement of the Rho Pi Phi annual Esquire Dance. As another year draws to a close the senior fraters wish to bid farewell to their brothers with the hope that the spirit of Rho Pi Phi will be carried to even greater heights in the years to come. And to the faculty we wish to express our thanks for their unselfish cooperation and guidance. H.H. R. Fifty-five Alembic Fifty-six Phi Delta C Y hi Pharmaceutical and Chemical Fraternity Phi Delta Chi, national professional fraternity of pharmacy and chemistry was established at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, on November 2, 1883. This year marks the 64th year of service in the professional field. World War Two brought a temporary dormant period in our chapter but 16 members of the Sophomore class reactivated the charter late in 1946. with Dr. John Dwyer, Professor of Biology, becoming faculty advisor. The formal initiation was postponed until February 24th, 1947 when Mr. R. R. Hollenback, national Grand Secretary, Dean F. J. O’Brien and four Brothers of Eta Chapter, Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, officiated. Two alumni, both past presidents of the Chapter, were present. They were Brother T. Rittershauscn and Brother D. Bellew. On February 25th, 1947, three candidates were initiated, namely Brothers Robert Goss, William Rchberg, and Joseph Szymanowicz. On December 19th, 1946 we held a successful semi-formal dance to celebrate our reorganization and the forthcoming Christmas vacation. On February 12th, 1947 we joined with the Sorority and two brother Fraternities in a St. Valentine’s Dance at A. C. P. Our initiation banquet was held at Herbert’s on February 24th, At the closing of the school year. Phi Delta Chi wishes all the graduates success and prosperity in their future undertakings. ia Theta Chapter 1947. R. H. H. Fijtv-seven Alembic 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 by the Dean who acts as counsellor. Among the appropriations made by the council and approved by the student body were—Freshman Party; Phonograph and Amplifier; and a Spring Formal. The Student Council wishes to express its appreciation and thanks to Dean O’Brien and Miss Glavin, the Faculty and students for their co-operation in making the school year a success.

The first of these was the annual banquet which took place at the Aurania Club on February 25—Commencement Day for the class of ’46. President Walker presided and Chancellor Davidson was the speaker of the occasion. Dancing followed the banquet. On May 6, over 300 alumni, students, and friends gathered at a testimonial dinner held at the DeWitt Clinton Hotel on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Dean O’Brien as a member of the Faculty of A. C. P. The Dean was presented with a 16 in in sound projector, a radio phonograph, and several other appropriate gifts by the Alumni. William Martin, ’27 presided. Among the speakers were Chancellor Davidson. Arthur S. Wardle. President of the Board of Trustees, Leslie C. Jayne, Secretary of the State Board of Pharmacy, and Doctor Irwin S.

Sixty Pharmakon First formed in 1928 by Professor Edwin C. Huntman, the Mortar and Pestle has become a part of our college life. Although dormant during the war years it was reinstated in September 1944. The issues were first published in the mimeo- graphed form. However, at the beginning of the new semester in September 1946 the student council representing the student body, appropriated sufficient funds to have the paper produced in printed copy. Although the first issue was purely experimental it met with the overwhelming approval of the student body. As a result of student interest, the paper grew in size and stature and more things such as pictures and cuts were added. The success of the school publication can be attributed to the cooperation of the faculty and student body. Harvey II. Ripps....................................Editor-in-Chief Flo ward j.

Sixty-two Pharrnakon Camera Club This year, the Camera Club has come of age as a student activity; there are fifty active members at this writing, and students are joining regularly. Meetings have been held each week, and the programs have varied to include the showing of slides and motion pictures as well as talks by qualified members on different phases of photography. A monthly contest open to all camera fans in the college has been initiated with appropriate awards for the three best pictures of the month. With its increased budget, the Club has been able to purchase several new pieces of equipment. Among these are a new Dcjur Versatile enlarger, a rotary- type electric print dryer, an automatic timer and new print trays. Messrs Bill Globerson and John Kelly have “covered” sports events and social activities quite capably, and some of their pictures are to be seen in this issue of the Alembic Pharrnakon. Other members have contributed pictures to the Year- book also. Professor Reed, Club Advisor, has given much of his time and effort to the activities of the Club, and to him we owe a vote of thanks. Mr. Dencgar has been very' active in the Club and has helped considerably. The Darkroom is an interesting, productive and experimental workroom, and more and more camera fans will always keep the Camera Club growing in the future as they have this year. F.B.

Coached by Fabian Lionetti, the A. G. P. team lost only 4 games in 16 starts. Although looking slow at the beginning of the season, the squad improved rapidly, the reason for our being in the win column most of the time. Having lost to Cobleskill in the first tilt, our return game with them proved to be one of the highlights of the season. A thrilling contest from beginning to end. we emerged the victors after coming from behind during the last few minutes of play. Excellent teamwork and accurate shooting made the 1946-47 season a most successful one. With only a few of the squad leaving in June, and a large enroll- ment expected in September, we are looking forward to having another successful season in 1947-48.
