Albany College of Pharmacy - Alembic Yearbook (Albany, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 91 of the 1948 volume:

Alembic Four Foreword This volume has been published by the Senior Class of 1948, and the returned servicemen that normally would have graduated in June, 1945. Let this book become your memory of A.C.P. as you take your place among those of our profession. PJharmakoiti Dedication The period of study in our Junior class of Economics gave us an understanding of the methods, machinery and govern- ment of mankind but more than that, a very deep apprecia- tion of the instructor himself, Adam A. Walker. IIis type of person is one that we are all glad to have known and which we shall long remember. For this reason it is to him that we dedicate this book.

O’Brien, Dean For over twenty-five years, Dr. O’Brien has been one of the guiding forces at A.C.P. To us, the students, his instructive and interesting lectures, his intense interest in all things, pharmaceutical and otherwise, and his seemingly infinite knowledge and patience are almost legendary. To the drug world, he is known both for his ability as an educator and as a contributor to many of the leading professional journals. Dr. O’Brien is himself a product of A.C.P., having obtained his Ph.G. here in 1920 and his Ph.C. in 1929. It was during this period (1920-29) that he became a member of the faculty. In 1936, he received his A.B. from New York State. College for Teachers. Fordham University granted him a Ph.D. degree in 1940. As the sands of this, our final year, are running out, it is with the greatest ap- preciation and most sincere esteem for Dean O’Brien’s guidance and understanding that we leave our Alma Mater.

People get their pictures taken wearing cap and gown and what they hope is an academic expression, broad hints are dropped as to what rewards will be suitable to commemorate the great occasion, and, with the express purpose of giving the seniors a collective lump in the throat some twrenty years hence, somebody w'rites a class history that goes like this:— Unlike other classes, ’48 cannot name any one year as its first at A.C.P. Many of the veterans who joined us in February, August and October of 1946 resumed their studies after absences of as long as five years. Another faction consists of transfers from other colleges. Perhaps the group which might be considered the nucleus is the eleven who started on the accelerated course in July 1945. This was way back when:— 306 held the entire student body for seminars and new-comers introduced them- selves individually to the rest of the college . . . darts and ping pong w'ere rampant on a field of smoke in the “Boys’ Lounge” (room 104 to freshmen) ... a Com- parative Anatomy class was touring the spinal chord of the cat . . . and, wonder of wonders, nobody had to double up on lockers. The one big event which that year brings to mind is the trip to Kingston via the Day Line, witness the many snapshots. It was in the summer of 1946 that we really got to know' each other as a class. The final eight weeks of the summer session proved that going to school in the summer, something new for some of us, could really be loads of fun instead of the drudgery we had imagined it to be. With Dr. Dwyer as our guide, several safaris were made into the jungles beyond C.B.A. to investigate the flora of the famous region. Our findings? With botanists who know botany best, it’s burdocks all over the place. In October A.C.P. held a clambake in Schenectady which was well attended, especially by the Junior clam-lovers. It is prosaic to say that everyone had a w-on- derful time. The clams were delicious, the weather was ideal for a softball game and the bonfire built after dark added just the right note of cheerfulness to an almost perfect day. The Juniors began Organic chemistry that year. To many it was like alphabet soup with an overwhelming majority of “C’s” and “H’s”. From the lab strange smells emanated and a green spot appeared on the ceiling over Lou Rosano’s desk. In Materia Medica, we received our w'eeklv samples of crude drugs to carry home where highly suspicious landladies or relatives eyed them with apprehension. Doses loomed large and important on our horizon this year. April saw the arrival of the new U.S.P.’s and we realized that we were now the most wretched of classes, trapped between U.S.P., XII and XIII and responsible for everything. However, nothing daunted, we went ahead with plans for our Junior Prom which was held in May at the DeWitt Clinton Hotel. Open to the entire student body, the T wenty Crystal Room was filled with the swirl of the many pretty, multicolored spring formals that dotted the dance floor with their handsome escorts in tuxes or white dinner coats. June brought exams and the fact that we were now lordly (?) seniors. An impromptu celebration of this momentous occasion was held on the last day of school. Invitations to the ladies were formally printed on a paper napkin and delivered to them through the open window of Tom Hanley’s car. They accepted and joined the party which proved such a success that many delayed taking the homeward bound trains they were supposed to. School opened early in September this year with the promise of finishing in May and graduating early in June. Some of the fellows had married during the summer, but otherwise the class had not changed, except for the return of Vince Grifo and A1 Felurcn from the service. At present, plans are being made for our trip to Indianapolis at the very kind invitation of the Eli Lilly Co. Most of the seniors and many of the juniors expect to make the trip. With the end of our college years almost in sight, a sense of the sadness that surrounds every leave-taking is borne in upon us. We realize that the time spent and the associations formed here will always be an integral part of our lives. It is with this thought that we leave A.C.P. H. D. S.

(Signed) Senior Glass of 1948 7 hirty-xeven Alemibic Class Prophecy 1962 -Seven years trying to get through A.C.P.—Fourteen years out, and there I was in my trailer laboratory brewing another batch of Nosowich’s Noxious Nostrum to foist on an unsuspecting public. (I have found it necessary to supple- ment somewhat the royalties from my book Slumming With Stanislaus” on sale at all Rexall Drugstores.) The greenish vapors climbing through the air reminded me of Organic Lab at A.C.P. and Lou Rosario in particular. I wondered if that green spot is still on the ceiling, and what had happened to the most brilliant class at A.C.P. Have they all succeeded as I have? Resolving to find out rather than just wonder and being temporarily at leisure, a visit to my old roommate Charlie DeChristopher seemed like a swell idea. I jumped into my 1949 Buick—(cars have been coming through slowly the last thirteen years.) It reminds me of the speed with which Art Pitts made suppositories in the lab. I finally arrived at the DeChristopher Pharmacy in Peckskill. Chris wasn’t there and when I located him he said he had retired. Not because he had had enough, but because business was slow and he didn’t think the results were worth the effort. Chris and I decided to take a trip and visit some of our old school pals. First stop was Poughkeepsie where Don Cornell had the drug market in town well under his control as well as the inmates of Vassar. We crossed the Mid-Hudson Bridge and went to Middletown, the home of one of our noted institutions. We said hello to Vince Grifo who was well settled in business. We proceeded North to Albany; here we ran into Mike Bach. (We saw his cigar before we saw him.) “What have you been doing, Mike?” “Oh, I’ve been working on the scientific angle of Pharmacy. Working on a new water-in-oil emulsion. Remember when Dr. O’Brien gave up trying to explain it to me? Well, I’m still trying to find out!” Mike told us that Lou Rosano was all set in California raising oranges on the side to pay wholesalers for the vitamins he gave his help. Walt Singer was teaching Bio Chem at U.C.L.A. After hearing this wc came to the conclusion that Walt was the reason our Senior class was so brilliant. We went down town to Branche’s Apothecary Shop. Jim’s busincs was better since he put in another fountain. We asked him about Eleanor Downes who was married to a well known Albany Physician. He told us to be sure to go over and sec Pitt’s new machine make troches, pills, and suppositories. Just set up the formula, turn the crank and out they come. He is still trying to sell it to Prof. Mager. Walt Houghtaling, a well known Albany Physician, does all his business at Charlie Stewart’s at Rensselaer. Walt likes to talk and Charlie likes to listen. My, how things have changed. Anything for the Doctors. We learned that Caryl Heeder was actively engaged in Pharmacy at Albany Hospital, when she wasn’t running over to Schenectady to see Helen Cardwell, who was now the driving force at Cardwell’s Pharmacy. We took a trip over to Troy and looked up John Hibbard at one of the well known stores. On inquiring there, we were told that John was expected any minute. Knowing John we told the clerk that wc w'ould be back in a couple of hours. At Troy Hospital we learned that Peg DeRubertis had married and moved to California; also that Grace Sutherland was married but still worked part time at Bender Lab. Thirty-eight tiarmalk We went back to see John who had just come in. “IIovv come you are so late, John?” “Got stuck in the, snow.” “There isn’t any snow, John.” “Oh, I guess this is my morning for a flat tire.” John told us that Tom Hanley was a drug salesman, and always had a car full of hitchhikers. A1 Feluren was working in New York for one of the large chain outfits. Leaving Troy, we drove north to Ticonderoga and stopped in at Carl Bevilac- cjua’s Pharmacy. There we found him in deep concentration over some papers. He was surprised to see us. Chris asked him what he was working on. “I’m working on mv Latin, taking a correspondence course from A.C.P. Bob Ahrendtsen should be up shortly, wc go over it together each week. We figured that Latin doesn’t change so we could do it any time.” Carl told us that Bob was a golf pro now, and that Jane Clark was in Syracuse working in a store, especially built with the counters a foot lower than usual. Her nights are well spent “baby-sitting” for Inn Kaiser whose technician training has been converted to the art of homemak- ing. Mary Murphy, after working in a store for a while, decided to settle down and raise a family of lumberjacks. Mary told Car] that Helen Simkins was working for a drug advertising concern, glamorizing vitamins. It was the first time in history that Vitamin “E” made Esquire. Charlie and I headed south again and stopped in on Paul and Art McCann. They had merged the two stores. Art’s chief complaint was that Paul was going down to New York City to see ball games every time one was played. From here we headed West to sec Bill Thyne. He was in his bachelor’s apart- ment. Chris said, “Nice dog you have there, Bill.” “Yes, she’s part Eskimo.” After a while Bill told us he had retired. We thought it was a little early in life but Bill said that when you work 80 hours a week you have to retire in half the time. He told us that Bill Roche, alias “BiJIsic Love”, was manager of the Kinny Chain Drug Co. and still wooing them in Pulaski. George Shockley is the head of a large family, having had an early start at A.C.P. He is teaching his youngsters to count by packaging pills and has his own patent for placeboes. While visiting with George wc learned that Carmen Mazzatti had a store in Utica and Howie Schwartz was working for him. Alex Fiore had departed from his profession and was running for Assemblyman, and if he makes it, he will give his services in the House gratis. It must be awful to have a conscience. Going further West we landed in Baldwinsvillc where Leo Mazoway and Arm Ccrro are partners. Tom LoPrcsti is their manufacturing chemist just like school days. Gordy Hines opened a lab in Boonvillc. He needed a good technician, so Joan Fox took up the option. We learned that Hal Elliot had gone with Pcnnick Crude Drug Corporation. He is still sending drugs to Norm Yaguda who is in Florida working with his father. On the way home wc decided to stop at A.C.P. where we had our formal start. Who greeted us? None other than Dick Scheutzow. He looked more like a pro- fessor than ever and was in charge of Latin now as well as the Dispensing Lab. His main gripe—these lab assistants never put the bottles out. Back in Peekskill, Chris and I agreed that the members of the most brilliant class of ’48 “did A.C.P. proud!!” S.P.N. an� C. DkC. Thirl.y-n.inf: Junior Class History Not unlike the innumerable other Junior Classes that have long since allowed themslves to be ground, meshed and reshaped thru the mill of A.C.P. to produce that strange unique creature called a Pharmacy Student, the present Junior tribe, entangled in the tortuous tentacles of acyclic compounds, bloody-eyed and dizzy from searching for schizo-lysigenous secretion cavities, and vibrating with throbbing brain and stuttering lip from doses and botanical origins, does, upon the completion of their third year, take note upon their arduous trek, interpolate the past, and com- pute the relative marginal utility of the aforementioned Junior year in terms of future professional value and remembered personal happiness. At the close of the year, it comes upon us, with momentous impact, that the end of our sojourn is almost in sight. The sense of relief is, however, replaced by a secondary sense of dread at the thought of the staggering mass of pharmaceutical armamentorium with which we should, according to the “theory” be now equipped. The accumulation of three years work must be re-raked, re-hauled, recalled, re- evaluated, and re-remembered. Thoughts of senior finals and state boards give us a solemn, and serious mien and if some of us start the Senior year with a distracted air, it will be because we have a lot on our minds. But there are many fond memories we can conjure up which seem, in retro- spect, to have decorated and adorned the grim, gruelling, back-busting hard work of memorization and purely academic study of the past year. Remember Prof. Lionetti’s lectures? Notwithstanding his uncompromising pedagogic motives and drives to teach us organic chemistry, he would call a halt to his “rigorous” exposi- tions, and with his dry, slightly satirical humor would start to ruminate on in- numerable parenthetical and superficial subjects, his tipsy old professors, his fond hopes of becoming a millionaire (thru organic chemistry of course) ct cetera, et cetera, and yet when he was thru, he always managed to neatly wisk us back to the organic lecture via a certain magic carpet. Then there is the impish, always original “Stew” Brooks whose outbursts of capriciousness and wit have made him synonymous with laughter in the Junior class; and, again, the friendly rivalry for higher grades between Bob Ileelev and “Capt.” Hosier. There are, oh, so many things we shall always associate with our Junior year at the school. Verily, then, in laughter ar.d in tears, we have wandered long thru the valley of shadows of self-satisfaction and the pixies of personal inertia which have beset our path and tried to distract us from our work and our study, yes, even tho we have been baptized by the fire and brimstone of organic “quickies”, and the maddening orgies of “dose and therapeutic use” tests in Pharmacology, we are still in need of some outside strength and hence do humbly bow our collective heads to pray for guidance and safe deliverance as we prepare for the inauguration of our final and, let us hope, most rewarding year of all at the Albany College of Pharmacy. Pmup Drapkin Forty-one Sophomore Class History Early on the Monday morning of October twenty-first, nineteen hundred and forty-six, some one hundred and twenty eager-minded future pharmacists and medi- cal technicians entered through the portals of A.C.P. To many of us this was our final opportunity to resume our education, which has been terminated by three or four years’ service in the armed forces of our country. Some had spent time working in defense plants, while others were newly graduated from high school. But we all had one purpose in mind—with a maximum of study and good times, a minimum of failures—to emerge from this professional school four years hence with a Bachelor of Science Degree tucked under our arms. With much fanfare and weary bodies we successfully struggled through our first year of school to become Sophomores, which means in Latin or Greek (or something) —“Wise Fools”. After renewing old acquaintances this past September, vve held a bitterly- contested class election. The following officers were elected to lead the class through our Sophomore year. Warren Houck ........ President Ray Kramer ....... Vice-President Lee Tripp ....... Secretary-Treasurer Eugene Peterson ...... Class Historian As the yearbook now goes to the publishers we are planning for our Sophomore Hop, which we hope will become an annual affair. We are to play host to the whole school for an evening of mixed dancing, entertainment, and refreshments. The General Committee is composed of Tripp, Peterson, Houck and Kramer; Bergeron. Dyroff and Bereke are in charge of entertainment. The refreshments will be handled by Haggerty, DeWitt, and Tripp. Decoration of the auditorium will be under the direction of Young, Drake, O’Brien, Tognerri and Spriggins. Entertainers thus far engaged include: Tommy Critz, Bill Rehberg, Dick Smith, Joe Szymanowicz and Frank Foley. Our class has been well represented on the star-studded basketball team, the Mortar and Pestle and yearbook publication, the Camera Club, as well as the Dean’s List. Others have participated in fraternal and sorority organizations. Looking backward to that cool October morning in ’46, we realize that we have come a long way down the road that leads to our degree. With mid-terms safely behind us and finals not far away, we shall soon have reached the halfway mark of our career training and we can now look forward to our Junior year with redetermination and more assured minds. Yes! We “Wise Fools” shall grow wiser. Eugene K. Pf.tf.rson Forty-three ■ ■ ..... II1! ,.,!-11.1 «HIM p Freshman Class History September 22, 1947 the sun failed to shine over the bewildered heads of 122 freshmen who entered the realm of pharmacy for the first time. Their ordor, however, was not in the least dampened though not the same could be said for their feet as the new students, Pharmacists and Medical Technologists, gathered in 306 for the first Chemistry class. The days fiew by and in October a confident group of fellows and girls met to choose a governing body for the 1947-48 school year. After due parliamentary pro- cedure and otherwise the following were elected: Kenneth R. Gray . Robert J. Newhard Annf. Keeler . Nancy Palmer President Vice-President Secretary-T reasurer Historian The Freshman Mixer was held October second arid Dean O’Brien gave an in- formal talk on the history of the college before Joe Szymanowicz ably “emceed” the affair. After the refreshments were served the fellows and girls became really acquainted as they danced to the strains of hit tunes in the gym. Although only infants in pharmacy, in the favorite sport at A.C.P. (basketball), the Freshmen are well represented by Bob Boscoe, Bob Newhard, Tom (Jimmy Durante) Critz, Dick Pcplinski and George Cafarelli. The months have flown by and the spring term finds us rapidly coming closer to the June of ’51. Forty-five How Much Sleep Does a Pharmacy Student NeedI Do you get your eight hours sleep every night? Do you get to bed early and rise with the chickens? You do! Well then, you’re not a Pharmacy student. The fellow who originated this eight hour business must have been a trifle whacky at the time. Oh, sure, one goes to bed with a clear head but upon awaking he feeds terrible. His senses are numbed from exposure to too much slumber. With respect to Pharmacy Students there are four types. The first is the con- stant studier, the guy who has those “A’s” and bites his nails in his sleep for fear his stock may go down during the night. He tosses and tumbles in bed. Though his eyes are shut for eight hours, his time would be better spent doing pushups by the numbers. Second there is the one who studies even more than constantly. He studies between classes, reads his lessons with his meals, and pastes his dose sheets above the mirror to glance over while he is shaving—then when he gets to the exam, he forgets all he ever knew'. This type might just as w'ell be getting his eight hours of sleep every night. Then there is the brainy type, the fellow who inherited his classification. He is the boy who never takes a note in class, just sits there and photographs everything being explained. He gets home at night and his first lesson is to study the movie program of the local paper. This individual has all the attributes of a fellow who has at least twelve hours of sleep available—but does he get it? NO, about an hour later you will find him either resting comfortably in the local theater or more com- fortably on an elbow in a downtown pub. Last of all comes Joe College. He just doesn’t give a darn. To him studying is something that is to be done during exam w'eek. Eight hours sleep is just a waste of time and energy. Nothing is ever boring because the bowling alleys are always open, the grills swing wide their doors until three o’clock at least, and what the heck, there is always something to do. When exams do come around, he stays at home but those eight hours are still impossible. Replacing the pub sessions are exam sessions lasting till early morning hours. There just isn’t time for this type to sleep. These four types of Pharmacy students are the typical ones. They represent the majority of students in a school. Thus if such a high percentage of the students enrolled falls into these four classes and, if the attendance records arc satisfactory, which they usually are, we must conclude that the number of hours of sleep essen- tial to the Pharmacy student must be greatly decreased from the ancient eight. What is the cause? Has science and medicine erred in arriving at a standard amount of sleep necessary for the human body? Or are Pharmacy students to be classed by themselves with a nervous breakdown their destination? A solution to these questions, I realize, is in order at this time and it was my intention to offer it to you. However, as I finished the last paragraph, my friend in the white uniform informed me that visiting hours w-erc over and I had to go back to —ah— my “room” for the night. D. C. Forty-six Alembic Forty-eight PtiarmaJkon DAhCE TO-NITE LADIES’CHOICE Lambda Kappa Sigma Shortly after the opening of the scholastic year of 1947-48, Lambda Kappa Sigma, hold its first meeting of the new year with President Mary Murphy presiding. Plans were immediately made for pledging and initiating new members. These new members were formally initiated in December and they were guests at a banquet held at the Madison Tavcn. At subsequent meetings, plans were discussed for raising money. After much discussion it was decided to raffle a radio and this entailed much work. The raffle was held in Seminar in February and the lucky winner was a member of the sopho- more class. The Sorority extends its thanks to you—the students and faculty—for your co-operation in this venture. As this goes to press plans arc again in the offing for new pledges to be initiated in the spring. Congratulations and best wishes to the Seniors from Lambda Kappa Sigma. Mary E. Murphy Janf. Clark .

Forty-nine Alembic Fifty Kappa Psi History Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity was founded at the Medical College of Virginia on October 25, 1879. The organization was the first Greek letter society established in the colleges of Pharmacy in the United States. It is strictly a pharma- ceutical fraternity which limits its chapters to colleges of Pharmacy holding member- ship in the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. This year Beta Delta Chapter started with the publication of the student directory which was so well received by the student body last year. It is our hope to continue this publication annually, as a traditional service to the students. On October 23, 1947, members of Beta Delta Chapter were honored by the presence of the Grand Regent, Frank H. Eby of Philadelphia, Pa., and Grand Sec- retary-Treasurer, Ray S. Kelley of Boston, Mass., at a dinner held at Jack’s Restaurant, State St., Albany, N. Y. On October 30, 1947, Kappa Psi started off the role of social activity with the Hallowe’en Hop. It was indeed a successful event with the music furnished by A1 Kaye (student of A.C.P.) and his orchestra. During the Christmas holidays, two delegates from our chapter, Gerald Wheeler and Leo Mazoway were in attendance at the Kappa Psi National Con- vention held in Chicago, 111. Many items of interest were obtained as a result of their trip. The latest activity of Beta Delta Chapter is the presentation of an electric scoreboard to the school. Robert Carney is the able chairman of the scoreboard committee. Funds originally appropriated from the student council for this score- board can therefore be returned to the student council fund for some other useful purpose. In the past year, we have attempted to live up to the tradition handed down by previous brothers. It is our hope that future brothers in Kappa Psi may continue with the same spirit of fellowship, loyalty and endeavor.

Faculty Advisor A part of Albany College of Pharmacy ever since 1921, Beta Chapter of Rho Pi Phi this year will send representatives to the annual Rope convention at which the 29th anniversary of the fraternity will be celebrated. Our activities this year manifested themselves in a variety of forms. In sports, both a basketball team and bowling squad were organized and several inter-fraternity matches were arranged. Sports honors were won by Gunther Berg who showed dexterity in all fields. Socially, Rope’s annual Campus Queen dance proved to be a huge success. For his work in promoting the dance, Arthur Margolis was awarded the year’s social activity honors. In music, Dick Smith excelled, while scholastically Gerald Goldberg received a huge thanks from the junior members for his instruction in organic chemistry. Finally, for his work in chess, Dan Meverson was awarded a merit of honor for unusual devotion. In addition to these awards, two new mem- bers initiated include Raymond Kramer and Marvin Berke who received degrees in January. This year the graduating fraters earnestly hope that the fraternity house which has finally been found will be improved and next year will find it even more satis- factory. Already equipped with a game room including a ping pong table, laundry room, work shop and reception room; a central study room is planned for next year. To all graduating seniors. Rho Pi Phi offers congratulations and hopes for huge success. A. G. M. Fifty-three Alembic Fifty-four R.H.H. Phi Delta Chi Fraternity Phi Delta Chi, a national fraternity of Pharmacists, was originated at the Uni- versity of Michigan in 1883. In 1931, Alpha Theta Chapter was initiated at the Albany College of Pharmacy. Since the war necessarily brought about a temporary cessation of our activities, due to the fact that potential members were elsewhere engaged learning first hand the significanc of our motto, “Each needs the help of the other”, it wras therefore not until Feb., 1947, that our chapter was reactivated, when a group of energetic veterans quickly discovered that brotherhood and good fellowship were by no means restricted to life in the service. This year’s program centered about the activities committee, which under the capable supervision of Brother Rehberg, afforded our group with many interesting and educational features. In recollection, we most thoroughly enjoyed, “What’s Cooking in Pharmacy”, delivered bv Dr. F. J. O’Brien, guest speaker, at our banquet on Nov. 13th. “The Magic Bullet”, projected at our smoker on Jan. 5th was very well received and convincing—it convinced us that at least one of our ten pledges this year should be an adept projectionist. On Dec. 15th Brother Sherman was awarded a plaque in recognition of the magnificent effort he put forth during our reorganization. The social event of the year was of course the annual Christmas Dance. It was a well organized function, and as before, a huge success. To the graduating class of 1948 Phi Delta Chi extends most sincere congratula- tions. May success smile upon you in every effort. OFFICERS John P. Ryan...................... Robert H. Heelf.y ....

The Council, which consists of the president and vice-president of each class, considers all curricular and extra-curricular activities which arise out of the school year. To date, the Council has formulated the current school budget, set dates for the various school dances and assisted in every way possible in having the student body- voice their opinion on current affairs. As a result, consent was given to permit smoking in the lower corridor of the college. The Student Council wishes to take this opportunity to express its appreciation and thanks to Dean O’Brien, whose efficient and sage advice has helped us over the many obstacles which have arisen during the current year. Our thanks also go to the members of the faculty and to the entire student body who have contributed their whole hearted co-operation to insure a successful administration for its governing body.

This was held at the Ten Eyck Hotel in the ball- room and about 250 alumni and friends were in attendance. The principal speaker at the meeting was Dr. Clements, Dean of the Albany Law School and after his speech the toastmaster called upon Dr. Davidson, Mr. Ward'le and Dr. O’Brien. At the annual election of officers for the year 1948 the following alumni were selected to serve: Myron L.

Fifty-eight Mortar and Pestle The Mortar and Pestle was first formed in 1928 by Edwin C. Huntman and has since become a part of our college life. After an absence of several years it was re-established in 1944. The first issues were published in the mimeographed form. Since September, 1946, the paper has been distributed in the printed form.

Camera Club Upon the opening of school in September the camera dub became active again. At the first meeting it was decided to have future meetings on the first Monday evening of each month. The monthly print contests were to be continued and the darkroom improved. A new timing device and printer were purchased, the dark- room painted, and a new sink replaces the old one. During the year many interesting topics were discussed at the meetings, for ex- ample the comparing of the members’ cameras and the use of newer chemicals in processing film. The new members were shown how to use the equipment in the darkroom and aided when possible by the older members. Frank Bevins retired as President and the new officers were installed. They are as follows: John Kelly, President: Mike Rossi, Vice-President; Harry Clark, Secretary. At the March meeting Mr. Garrison gave an interesting discussion upon photo- graphic problems and practices as applied to the retail business. Sixty-one The Qirls’ Club In the fall of 1947. a new club was organized at A.C.P. under the supervision of Miss Jewett, and which has since then become known as “The Girls’ Club”. It was formed in the hope that it would round out the girls curriculum and at the same time enable the girls to become better acquainted with one another by planning social and educational activities as well as participating in worthwhile charitable projects. Meetings arc held twice a month and membership is open to all the girls. Officers for the year were elected as follows: Beverly Tripp Virginia Peckham Rita Laurence Kathryn Sayre . Annette Place . President Vice-President Recording Secretary Corresponding Secretary Historian At an organization meeting, a skeleton program for the year was decided upon. However, noting that these plans could not be carried out without financial aid from the Student Activity Fund, the matter was brought before the student body in the form of a vote. We felt that we would need approximately $200 for the year’s ac- tivities. We were a little skeptical as to how the boys would react to this idea, but they broadmindedly realized that this was the only activity that all the girls could actively participate in and as a result there was a majority vote in favor of the ap- propriation. With a little money in our treasury we went ahead to make plans for our first scheduled event, the Bacon Bat. It was held Saturday, November first at Thatcher Park. Miss Jewett and a number of girls attended and spent the day exploring caves, hiking, eating and having an all-round good time. Tuesday nite, February 3, despite the sub-zero weather, the girls and their dates went on a sleigh ride out Western Avenue. Mr. and Mrs. Phair and Mr. and Mrs. Krugman chaperoned over 25 couples. As this report goes to print, we arc looking forward to: a card party April 14, to which the entire college is invited; a trip to New' York City on March 12; a historical trip to Schuyler Mansion, the Van Buren Home and House of History in Kindcrhook, April 3; and to close the year, a picnic at Sand Lake on May 8. The Club takes this opportunity to thank Miss Jewett, Dean O’Brien and the faculty and the students wffio have eonscientously and graciously contributed their services and time to the success of the Club’s activities. Sixty-two Annette Place jPfearmakoii Chess Club “Checkmate!” became a familiar term this year at A.C.P. where an unusual new activity had its origin. Eager, enthusiastic groups of woodpushers suddenly appeared, dotting the campus with no end of kings, queens, bishops, rooks, knights, and pawns. Organized for the purpose of stimulating interscholastic competition as well as for introducing the student body to the intrigue and enchantment of the chess- board, the new chess dub established itself among the prominent activities at Pharmacy. Included in its extensive activity program were an intramural tournament, simultaneous and blindfold exhibitions, rapid transit contests at ten seconds a move, instruction for beginners, and interscholastic team matches. Coached by Dan Meyerson, representative to the National Junior Tournament, the team made a good showing in matches with area teams. Squad members in- cluded John Togncri, Richard Smith, Joe Crawley. Robert Rubenstein, Lou Kalb- feld, Marvin Berke, and1 John Cecilian. Steering the affairs of the group were Joe Crawley, president; Richard Smith, vice-president; Dan Meyerson, secretary-tournament director; and John Tognerri, treasurer. Joseph M. Lapetina was faculty adviser to the unit. Sixty-three Aesculapian “IF” If you can work while all the world relaxes On evenings, holidays, and Sundays,- and still smile; If you can rob the till for countless taxes And still feel that perhaps it’s all worth while; If you can lend an ear with grave demeanor To never ending, borcsome tales of woe From folks whose scent for bargains is much keener Than their desire to pay you what they owe; If after you have scraped your purse to pay for A lot of merchandise still standing on the shelf, You’ll buy more of the same to save the day for Some glib young squirt (who earns more than yourself) ; If you don’t mind when kids get too athletic Around the store, and leave the place a wreck; If you can actually feel apologetic Because you haven’t funds to cash a check; If you can drop your work to do things gratis; To sell stamps, or take cinders from an eye, Or let guys borrow backroom apparatus And not mind if they never, never buy; In short, if you’re prepared to moulder slowly While doing people favors day and night; If you can take abuse from high and lowly, Then you’re a Pharmacist, and boy—it serves you right! Harry Brook., Ph.G. Sixty-four ?V', 4 Alembic Sixty-six Basketball Boasting the heaviest basketball schedule in years, A.C.P. has forged its way to the front in this its major sport. With a nucleus of last season’s five and the addition of several outstanding lower classmen, Coach Fabian Lionetti and Assistant Coach Milton Mager have moulded a team which is an honor to them, to the college and the capital district. “Big Sol” Levine, Charlie DdChristophcr, Pete Del'Santo and Ray Kramer re- turned from last year. The newcomers to the squad are John Togncrri, Bob New- hard, Tom Critz, Bob Boscoe, George Caffarelli, Bob Dyroff and Frank Peplinski. With nine games played of 16 scheduled at this writing, Pharmacy has won 7 and lost 2, accumulated 444 points as to 319 by the opposition for an average of 49 points per game. To complete this brief review it is necessary to recognize and thank Manager Frank Burnham and Trainer Sam Goldman for their efforts in scheduling the games and handling the equipment.

It was the evening before our final exam in Pharmacy, and as is the usual thing, I had covered only 400 pages in the preceding nights. Thus the usual cram session started over several steaming doses of caffeine accompanied by enough nicotine to send the average smoker into the most acute stage of poisoning. Anyway, the last thing I recall was the number 883, along with a sudden thump- ing noise as my head collided with the desk. A greyish mist seemed to have enveloped me, and from a distance I kept hearing someone repeat, over and over again, “Eight eight three, Eight eight three”. Then, as if some great Chandu had uttered the magic word, a person stood before me saying, “Conductor Eight eight three, Hal Elliot, at your seivice”. He motioned for me to follow and I did, down the porch steps to the street where, with one, one flick of the thumb, a monstrous car with one of those distant chauffeur’s seats show- ing just over the horizon awaited. Norm Yaguda shinnied down the upholstery out of the rear seat. He was masked with tortoise rimmed glasses at least 3 inches in diameter which were supported on a huge cigar protruding from his mouth. We stepped into the car; Norm climbed back up, waved a lantern in the air, and driver John Hibbard started the auto rolling. In no time at all we were driving down New Scotland Avenue. I guessed that we were approaching Pharmacy College, but as we proceeded I began to have my doubts. On the left where Fort Orange should have been, all I saw was a giant dart board about fifteen feet in diameter and there, standing some twenty feet away, was Mike Bach wielding a long javelin. On the right where Stale Lab should stand was a huge pasture with hundreds of sheep in it, all constantly jumping a rail fence one after the other. Farther down on the left I saw Miss deHoll come screaming across the open field followed by Joan, Ruth, Irm, Grace, and Peggy. Behind was a huge guinea pig about eight feet long chasing them with fury, a hypo needle still imbedded in its side. My next site was amazing. A tall skyscraper came into view, and, of all things, it was shaped exactly like a giant U.S.P.! Across the front was inscribed “Albany College of Pharmacy and Research” while hanging from an upper window were long speckled banners. Upon further observation I discovered that these “banners” were Prof Reed’s Flow Sheets out for their morning airing. My escort, Mr. Elliot, quickly offered me the spirits (of ammonia, that is), and courteously opened the door. As we started up the walk I noticed that the sidewalk had been straightened out and that a tunnel had been cut through the large elm tree that was standing there. As I made my exit from the tunnel, I saw Mr. Mathers come swiftly around a corner of the building vigorously whipping a beautiful, red-maned stallion which was gallantly pulling a super mowing machine. There were two seats on the machine, one occupied by Pop, and just behind, a smaller one carrying Spot, his aging dog. Sixly-eighi As we approached the building, the door was swung wide by Paul Nosowicli, bundled in a heavy doorman’s outfit. I couldn’t understand why he w'as so heavily clothed until he explained to me that he had discovered another way of keeping warm. With all these changes I had to ask my guide where the gymnasium was. lie showed me an enormous room, one side of which was completely covered by an electric scoreboard that kept track of everything from the number of points scored to the number of “New Looks” in the room. Carm Mazzat'ti, bedecked in a red and purple bow tie stretching from shoulder to shoulder, was sitting in the middle of the floor atop a six foot stand constantly calling “Set, Set”. I just turned in time to see Bill Thyne being carried oft' the floor on a stretcher with his head completely bandaged. At the same time, Bill Roche w;as standing over George Shockley with a whip in his hand trying to get him to take Thyne’s place. Just off the gym was another room which held the school cafeteria. My interest centered on a sign in the middle of the room reading “Full Course Dinner 25 ”. Tom Hanley sat at one end of the room, at least I think it was Tom. All I could see was a mass of curly hair showing over a hundred pound paper lunch bag. He w'as passing it out to Walt and Eleanor who were sitting over in the corner. Up at the other end of the room sat Bob Ahrendtsen explaining the mechanics of the photograph of his baby which flashed on and off on his chest to Tom LoPresti. We started to leave the cafeteria and ran into Armand Leo. Ann had a ham over his shoulder and Leo followed with a loaf of bread, a pound of butter, and a jar of mustard. He was calling to Mrs. Mathers “Two cokes, please”. From there we boarded an elevator operated by Vince Grifo (he told us that he was picking up a little extra change for those weekend trips home) to get to the research department. One other passenger joined us, Miss Glavin, in search of a Freshman who was wanted on the phone by the owner of a sweet feminine voice. As wje started from the elevator, we ran into Charlie DeChristopher carrying a basketball under each arm. He said that he was going down to “shoot a couple”. Right behind him were Paul McCann and Lou Rosano arguing about which was better, Seton Hall or Pharmacy College. We were just about to enter the door marked “Research” when Prof. Hanmer came bursting out with handsome tresses growing down to his hips crying “Eureka, I’ve got it!!!” Inside we met Bill Mosher. I inquired where Doctor Dwyer was and with a worried look, he just said “I wish I knew”. In explanation he pointed out the win- dow' to a giant sunflower which the good doctor had perfected. He explained that Doc had started to climb it a week ago and hadn’t been seen or heard of since. We went down to the chemistry department and found something that baffled me. Professor Lionetti was standing there with a huge distilling apparatus. First he’d throw a sport magazine in the flask, then he’d run down to the outlet. He kept repeating this every- five minutes and each time would say, “Darn, that play ought to come out pretty soon.” Sixty-nine Over on the other side of the lab Helen tSimkins and Mary Murphy were help- ing Janie climb up into a super crane that hoisted her within reading distance of her meniscus. Just then Carl Bevilacqua came crawling around a comer with a Sherlock Holmes cap on his head examining the floor with a large magnifying glass. He kept repeating, “I’ll get that guy that smashed my crucible yet.” My guide informed me that the time was getting short so we had to move along in order to see the rest. I noticed that the mist had cleared somewhat. He took me to a door labeled Stafford, Dewell, Denegar, Inc., R. Scheutzow, Mgr.” Mr. Elliot opened the door and the first thing that caught my eye was a row of gallon prescription bottles each containing a different colored liquid. Charlie Stewart was examining a green one, Art McCann a red one, Art Pitts a blue one. and, walking up and down with one hand bulging a suspender and the other pointing to a gallon jug of colorless solution, was Gordie Hines. I was told later that each bottle was made from the same prescription. A few desks away, Mr. Denegar stood puffing strongly on a corn cob pipe explaining the art of solving incompatibilities to Helen and Caryl. As the smoke from his seasoned furnace curled upward, I noticed that Helen and Caryl took turns slapping each other on the back. Hal then ushered me towards the Dean’s office. We sat down in the outer office and just got in on the end of Dr. Hutchinson’s explanation of 16 Hun 52 to A1 Fiore, Howie Schwartz, Jim Branche, and A1 Fcluren. The closest we got to see Dr. O’Brien was to overhear a part of his conversation in the inner office with Walt Singer. Walt was saying, “Doctor, where do you think I could get an apartment?” The Dean replied, “Well, I can think of three places; A. an evacuated chicken coop in Delmar; B. One of the discarded trolley cars on the Troy road; or C. A. small place adjacent to Bender Lab. Take your pick.” Walt then decided, “Thanks, Doctor, but I guess I’ll continue commuting by plane from California.” By now, the mist was practically clear and the image of my guide was becoming fainter. He rushed me from the building and out to the limousine. Mr. Elliot closed the door and the light from Norm’s lantern glared in my eyes. The only thing I could see was that intense light bearing down on me and when it subsided I opened my eyes to find the sun beaming in our window. I raised my head and found my U.S.P. still open at page 883. With the hope that I had absorbed the last one hun- dred pages by osmosis in the strictest sense of the word, I armed myself with a pencil and started my last journey to school.
