Like other college an- nuals, the Alembic Pharmakon strives to publish an account of the year’s activities and events in as complete and interesting a manner as possible. The former can be accomplished with relative ease but the latter offers a most challenging problem; and it was with this part of the assignment that we have concentrated our attention. To reach this end we have spared no effort in procur- ing photographic work of the highest quality, and the writeups have been shortened in an efTort to keep the literary material from being forbidding as is sometimes the case. Such, in brief, is the prospectus of the 1949 Alembic Pharmakon. We sincerely hope that the members of the gradu- ating class will consider this book a faithful reproduction of their college days. The Editor. 8 PHARMAKON Contents COLLEGE ACTIVITIES SPORTS SOCIAL ALEMBIC I I l Habitation i I 'I i I i I I I' Just before the end of the second great war, the Congress of the United States enacted a law to unconditionally render financial assistance in the Veterans’ pursuit of post-war education. This law, simply and humbly, was a gesture of the American people to aid those men and women who had been deprived of the essential product of youth. This year of 1949 marks for many Veterans throughout the nation a successful conclusion to a college education. We think this social experiment worthy of mention, and it is to the principles of the “G. 1. Bill” as well as to the Veterans that this Yearbook is dedicated. Six PHARMAKON Dr. Francis J. O’Brien. Dean As the hour rapidly approaches when we, the Class of ’49, shall reach those once far-distant horizons, our minds review the years we have spent at A. C. P. In this review our minds turn especially to Dr. O’Brien—friend to all, teacher, and Dean of the College. Upon his graduation from A. C. P. in 1920 with the degree of Ph.G., he shortly thereafter took a position on the faculty. While a member of the faculty, he continued his work to obtain his Ph.C. degree in 1929 and thence his A.B. degree from the New' York State College for Teachers in 1932. Further work resulted in his receiving his A.M. degree in 1936, and then he began work on his Ph.D., which he was granted in 1940 from Fordham University. He is not only a brilliant and capable scholar, but a man of patience and under- standing; his inspiring presentation of all subjects to us has been the guiding hand to those not so far-distant horizons. Seven Albany College of Pharmacy UNION Union College Albany Law School Dudley Observatory jfi tstorp In Essentials, Unity In Doubtful Matters, Freedom In Everything, Charity In 1948 Union University celebrated its Diamond jubilee, seventy-five years of educational service. Beginning with the affiliation of Union College (founded in 1795) in Schenectady with the Albany Medical College (1839), the Albany Law School (1851) and the Dudley Observatory (1852); the University received its State Charter in 1873, thus making it today among the oldest Universities in the United States. Organized along the English or Oxford-Cambridgc pattern whereby each college keeps its autonomy, the University, in 1881, took into its fold the Albany College of Pharmacy. The latest and youngest member in the Union academic family is the Union University School of Nursing (1944). Each of the colleges has its own board of trustees. There is a Board of Governors of the University, consisting of representatives from the boards of the separate colleges, but this Board controls no funds or buildings or faculty; it grants no degrees. Its powers are advisory, its aims—cooperation. Each college board of trustees selects a dean or president who acts as its chief administrative officer. The administration of the University is centered in the office of the Chancellor, Dr. Carter Davidson, who is also President of Union College; he is ex-officio member of all boards, attends faculty meetings and signs all diplomas. The virtues of such a university organization have become increasingly clear through the years; each college stands on its own feet financially and is not dependent on aid from a university endowment; each faculty exercises local independence; the university is flexible, can expand to include new colleges if it desires, can operate on widely separated campuses. Albany Medical College During these years the University plant has grown to represent an investment of over $8,000,000; its endowment funds total an additional $10,000,000. With a faculty of over three hundred, a student body of more than three thousand, and a living alumni of twenty thousand, Union University is justly proud of its seventy-five year record and looks forward to more centuries of achievement.

GLAVIN Registrar OTIjatn a JJame At frequent intervals we hear students presenting to each other the question— “What docs Alembic Pharmakon mean?” If we refer back into the history of pharmacy, we find a reference made to the Alembic, one of the oldest types of stills. In this apparatus the vapor was condensed in a chamber immediately above the liquid being heated. This type of still, how- ever, fell into antiquity when the more efficient retort still came into modern use. The word “Pharmakon” is an adaptation of an ancient Greek word meaning a drug. With the meaning of these two words in mind we see that the title of our Yearbook means, literally, a drug still. If we mull this over in our minds we see that our title is rather fitting. A drug still might impose an apparatus in which extracts and potions of various drugs might be heated together, the resulting dis- tillate representing the very essence of all the ingredients subjected to treatment. By the same token our Yearbook, the Alembic Pharmakon, represents all the college life and activities held under one cover. The very contents of the pages are a concentrated resume, the very essence of which forms a nucleus, from which we may again construct the full composite picture of the college life these pages represent. It is from this college life and activity that our Yearbook is “distilled”. Peter J. Alotta T hirteen I 'wMa tmWMzw- SENIORS Classy (Mtcers Robert Hosler Joseph Crawley Shirley Clark Peter Alotta . President Vice-President . Secretary . Historian Fifteen ALEMBIC Senior Cla££ jfyixtovp It is with fond memories that we, the Class of ’49, look back upon the days, weeks and years at A.C.P. These memories are mixed, in a peculiar way, being a composite picture of past events which have left their imprints upon our very minds, perhaps forever. Within our memoirs we see those long nights of studying and memorizing, those minutes before every exam when everyone’s nerves were literally tied in knots, those painfully distorted tempers and faces when marks were made known, and lastly those wonderful moments which gave us the lighter side of life in our roster of social events and extracurricular activities. It is for these memories that our class history is written. It was October 22, 1945 when some seventy odd forty-niners, the first postwar class on regular four year college schedule, picked up their mortars and pestles for the first time. It was at this time that some changes were made necessary within the college. For example, up to this time, especially during war years, seminar had been held in room 306. It was at the time of the first seminar our class attended that Dr. O’Brien decided the audi- torium should, once, again, be unlocked to the weekly meetings of the student body. It was also decided at this time that each Freshman would no longer be personally introduced to the student body as the introduction of our class became somewhat tedious to all concerned. A dance was held for the introduction of the Freshmen followed by a full semester of activities and, of course, hard work. By the time the second semester rolled around Dr. O’Brien had decided to admit another Freshman class. When this group entered the gates of pharmacy, at A.C.P., it seemed as though Uncle Sam were trying to establish a beachhead at our very doorstep. A group of some forty-seven veterans, together with three lonely non-veterans, had descended upon us to take up their studies. June finally came in its own way at which time Section I looked to a summer of relaxation while Section II looked forward to a hot summer’s job of having to catch up to the advanced state of know ledge which the vacationers enjoyed. October ’46 seemed to leap upon us and we, the Sophomores, began our trek. The two separate classes were joined together, each section feeling as if a hoard of intruders had descended from Lord only knows where. The guns of war having been laid down and placed in oblivion, these former classmen were rejoined in a home- coming. Such men as Joe Crawley, Joe Ferro, Bob Carney, Joe Cazzillo and others had come back to our flock. These men had laid down their armamentarium of pharmacy in ’42 and ’43 and had taken up that of their country to enable us all to live in freedom and happiness. We subsequently drew together for a class meeting and our minds having met we gave the chair, vacated by Freshmen class presidents John Lyman and Earl Robinson, to John Sherman and the able vice-president—Joe Connolly. With such preliminaries accomplished wc settled down to part two of our education. During the course of the year while Prof. Reed explained the potentialities of ITS, we, in the face of the manifestation, took turns at the window airing ourselves out. Although oxidized and reduced by the very aroma of Qual, wc agreed to bear with him. In our “wild enthusiasm” we grasped Quant but were soon entangled. Many hours were spent, Sixteen PHARMAKON by each and every one, sweeping up a few milligrams of ash from the floor and looking for the lost particle to the tune of “To Each His Unknown” deftly sung and rendered by “Syndrome” Brooks. We battled through the year with a multitude of debits and credits with the help of 2 Dallas 313 and eventually came up in June with the glad tidings that we were prospective Juniors. As Juniors we took off on our magic carpet into the field of organic chemistry. At this point many students went into a frantic search of all types of insurance after a sight of “the madman from Oneida” doing a synthesis. At about this time the high cost of living had reached its peak and it was fortunate that we received our crude drugs al- though the last class to be so treated. After all what could have been better for these poor mar- ried fellows than to have at hand the material for a good pharmacognosy stew flavored with asafe- tida. One hundred thirty-two delectable ingredi- ents to be used at any time a check didn’t materialize. During Spring vacation Eli Lilly gave us the life of kings for two days in Indianapolis and also gave us renewed hope and confidence to continue onward. The Junior Prom was one of the subjects of greatest interest at the completion of our westward travels and great plans were laid. It was not long when our labors bore fruit within' the walls of the Colonie Country Club with one of the best proms ever held. It was at this time that our junior year was about completed under the leadership of our gavel pounding president, Bob Carney. The Senior Class was again in the limelight as we carried the banner of being the first class to be subjected to pharmacology lab at the Medical College. We, as novices, soon became accustomed to the work although none could comprehend it. We battle onward through doses, dispensing and proposed material to be asked on the first new type state board. At this time all our spirit to go onward has departed and the only force which compels us onward is the very sight of our journey’s end. The end of our journey in this college life is nigh in sight. The greater part of the senior year being accomplished, it seems as though this long hard journey on the road of knowledge is suddenly and abruptly coming to an end. As we look back we see that we, the forty-niners, arc distinctive in many ways. We were the first postwar class to enter on regular curriculum, and the first of the “large classes” since the intro- duction of the four year course. We were the first class to be composed, for nearly the full four years, mainly of veterans and the first to be composed of nearly fort-two percent of married men and women. We are the first class to be subjected to pharma- cology lab and will be the first to face the new type state board. The latter distinction, however, seems to be a questionable honor. As our college term draws to an end we seem to enjoy great happiness, but, we also feel deep inside a sense of sadness. Those who have been at our sides and battled along with us in this field of knowledge will soon depart, each and everyone going his way to make the future. However hard it may be, when the time comes, w'e will say goodbye to our classmates and go our way knowing that most of those faces will not be for our eyes to see in the years to come. Although those familiar faces may be lost and obscured in the fog of time the very thought of them will remain in the clearness of our minds—forever. Written for the memory of you all, Peter J.

Y. “Marty” has always been a very popular student at A.C.P. She started her studies in Medical Technology in September of 1945. In her Sophomore year she became a member of Lambda Kappa Sigma Sorority and in her Junior year served as Vice-President. Martv later became a member of the Girls’ Club. MARTINA KELLY Twenty-eight PHARMAKON . MRS. ALBERT H. LASDA Warren Street Tully, N. Y. Better known as Ilga to her many friends here at A.C.P., she became a member of our class in September 1947. She holds the degree of “Magister of Pharmacy” which she received from Latvia University at Riga. In her Junior year, she won the American Foundation for Pharmaceutical Education Scholar- ship, and then as a Senior, became a charter member of the A.Ph.A. HENRY LEE 6 2 Elm Street Cobleskill, N. Y. When Henry returned from the Asiatic Pacific and was re- leased from the Navy, he quickly satisfied his quest for addi- tional pharmaceutical adventures at A.C.P. During his first year “Irish” showed us that the hand was quicker than the eye, and that the callous on his hand was not due to pestle pressure but to a ping-pong paddle. He was a charter member of both the reactivated Phi Chi and our A.Ph.A. SOLOMON LEVINE 215 South Pearl Street Albany, N. Y. Sol entered A.C.P. in ’42 but his initial stay was short due to a call from Uncle Sam for Army service. Upon his return he became very active on the basketball team, being elected Captain in his Senior year. He is a four-year man in Rho Pi Phi and served as Fiery Dragon. He is also a chaitcr member of the Student A.Ph.A. branch. DONALD FRANCIS LUTZ 541 Main Street Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Don claims the Navy released him because the South Pacific environment caused a dreadful paralysis called “ptosis”; so he joined us in ’46. He was a charter member of Phi Delta t Chi and this year held the office of Chaplain. He also served on the Class Ring Committee and belonged to the A.Ph.A. Don hates Albany; too conducive to long naps. Twenty-nine ALEMBIC JOHN P. LYMAN 26 Rock Street Alexandria Bay, N. Y. Johnny became very active in A.C.P. activities from the start of his Freshman year. In that year he was elected Presi- dent of the class, served on the Student Council, and was Manager of the basketball team. A member of Kappa Psi, he served as Treasurer in his Senior year. In addition he was a member of the Athletic Commission for the past two years. RICHARD H. MALONEY 224 Washington Street Hartford, Conn. Dick is another out-o.f-the-statcr, who, after being released from the E.T.O. by the Army, came to A.C.P. in quest of Pharmaceutical knowledge. lie tells us that the reason he came to Albany, was because he understood the New York Boards were easier than those of his home state. But we know differ- ently after watching him disappear from Albany after the last class each Friday with that “Hartford Bound” light in his eyes. ARTHUR G. MARGOLIS 1627 Dudley Avenue Utica, N. Y. “Margie” attended St. Bonaventure, University of Kentucky and also saw Army service before entering pharmacy college. Very active in Rho Pi Phi, he was elected Chaplain in his Junior year and Chancellor in his Senior year. Among other activities were the Camera Club, Mortar and Pestle staff, and Junior Prom Committee. He?s another charter A.Ph.A.’cr. LOUIS C. MATT 123 Boyce Avenue Utica, N. Y. Lou graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Hamil- ton College in 1943, after which he attended Columbia for one year. After entering A.C.P., he became a member of Kappa Psi, the Camera Club and the A.Ph.A. Without him Bob Heeley never would have made that Senior year. T hirty PHARMAKON JOHN B. McSHANE 18 Bentley Avenue Poultney, Vt. As an infantry officer, John saw service in both the Euro- pean and Pacific theaters. Before entering A.C.P., he at- tended George Washington University. During his Senior year he became a charter member of our A.Ph.A. branch. Gradua- tion past he'll return to Poultney to divide his time between pharmacy owner and family man. ALBERT MILLER 82 Mill Street Newburgh, N. Y. A1 served with the Army in the European Theater for over two years, before entering A.C.P. He has gained a great recog- nition from his classmates as a member of the famous trio of “Miller, Conte O’Neill”. In his Junior year, A1 served as a member of the Ring Committee, and in his Senior year could be seen flitting “to fro”, serving as a member of the Athletic Commission. WILLIAM C. MOSHER 251 Main Street Hudson Falls, N. Y. Bill has been a familiar sight to the Freshmen and Sopho- mores at school as an assistant in the Biology Department. Having served with the Army in the European theater. Bill entered A.C.P. to take a course in Medical Technology. For four years he was a member of the Camera Club. Wc w ill all miss you, Bill, but most of all your jokes. WARREN AUTHOR NORTON 4617 Westminster Place St. Louis, Mo. Warren was a Chief Pharmacist’s Mate while in the Navy, serving in the American and South Pacific theaters. Arriving at A.C.P. in '46, he was an early member of Phi Delta Chi, holding down the office of Chaplain during his second year. Still in quest of that everlasting WHY, Warren plans to do graduate work in pharmacy after graduation. Thirty-one ALEMBIC JOHN F. O’NEILL 11 Cozzcns Avenue Highland Falls, N. Y. It’s rather a far cry from wheeling a ten-ton semi over the E.T.O. Red Ball highway to folding powder papers, but Johnny made the transition without difficulty. Another original Phi Chi’cr, he paralleled fraternity service with three years on the Mortar and Pestle staff culminated by the Editorship in his Junior year. He also gave liberally of his time to the Ring Committee and the Athletic Commission. THADDEUS W. PARTYKA 243 North Elm Street Torrington, Conn. Jerry entered A.C.P. after serving with the Air Corps in the C.B.I. As adept with a baseball as with the “phenagle” factor in chemistry, he starred on the baseball team in his first two years. His fraternity was Kappa Psi, being a four-year man with that organization. FRANK C. RICH, JR. Cato, N. Y. If you think he can handle a spatula, you should see him with a golf club. We'll never forget that shy grin when de- scribing his first “hole in one” following our ’48 summer vaca- tion. Phi Delta Chi made him a member in ’47. His Army service was in Africa and Europe. His service with the Navy in the Mediterranean gave George little experience in studying with a book on one knee and a baby daughter on the other; but evidently he's quite versatile. Despite the rigors of family life in a trailer while attending college, George was able to find time to join Kappa Psi in his Freshman year and the A.Ph.A. as a Senior. GEORGE PHILLIPS 112 East Heman Street East Syracuse, N. Y. Thirty-two PHARMAKON MARIE N. ROBERT 1962 Western Turnpike Albany, N. Y. Marie, belter known among her friends as Noella, because she was born near Christmas, was our Junior Class Secretary, and became a member of the student A.Ph.A. She joined the Camera Club mainly to keep her brother Ed out of mischief. Noella is extremely interested in music, and as wc all know, is a very talented and accomplished pianist. EDMOND ROBERT 1962 Western Turnpike Albany, N. Y. Ed claims the distinction of being the only student who owns and (dares to) drive a car older than himself,—a sturdy Mar- quette. Ed is a combination shutterbug and musician, having been an active member of the Camera Club for three years, and on occasion, entertained the student body with his fine piano playing. He is also a member of the student A.Ph.A. JOHN P. RYAN 145 Hudson Street Syracuse, N. Y. John was instrumental in reactivating Phi Delta Chi Fra- ternity of which he was Master-at-Arms in his Sophomore year, and President in his Junior year. He served on the Junior Prom Committee, was Vice-President of the Junior Class, and was a charter member of the student A.Ph.A. John was for- merly a member of the Army Air Corps. KATHRYN SAYRE 1 Fermac Avenue Albany, N. Y. “Kate” entered A.C.P. in September of 1945. At this time she became a member of the Camera Club and in her second year she became a member of Lambda Kappa Sigma Sorority. In addition to these activities, she took time off from her studies in Medical Technology to be Corresponding Secretary of the Girls’ Club and also to be a member of the cheerleader squad. Thirty-three ALEMBIC JOHN H. SCHELL New Lebanon, N. Y. After enduring the culinary “artistry” of Red Wheeler and Bob Lally for six months, John made a milestone of his Senior year by deserting the bachelor ranks. In his three previous years at A.C.P. he was a member of the Camera Club and held down the keystone sack on the baseball team. As an Air Corps navigator, he participated in B-29 raids over Japan. JOHN F. SHERMAN 44 Cedar Street Oneonta, N. Y. A five-year Army veteran, John saw service as an artillery officer in France and Germany. At A.C.P. he was instrumental in the reactivation of Phi Delta Chi, served as its initial Presi- dent and later as Corresponding Secretary. President of our Sophomore Class, he was also a member of the Junior Prom Committee and, for three years, of the Camera. Club. In his Senior year he was elected charter Preside nt of the A.Ph.A. Student Branch. JOHN A. SHOALES 76 South Main Street Marion, N. Y. The fourth of the “Four Johns”, he’ll always be remembered for the ease with which he polished off the analytical chemistry courses. Must be a gift. An Army veteran who saw action in the Pacific theater, John has decided to make it “Shoales Son, Props,” in Marion after receiving his sheepskin. LEONTINE B. SMITH 165 Dorwin Avenue Syracuse, N. Y. One of our hardest-working members, “Lee” will be a real credit to our profession. During her Sophomore year she en- dured that famous “Hell Week” to become a member of Lambda Kappa Sigma and served as Treasurer of that organiza- tion in her Senior year. She’s also a charter member of the student A.Ph.A. T'hirty-four PHARMAKON ! BETTY J. SUELZ Selkirk, N. Y. Vivacious “Suclzie” started at A.C.P. as a Medical Tech- nology student in ’45. Popular and able, she was elected Freshman class Treasurer, served on the Mortar and Pestle staff for two years, and was a three-year member of Lambda Kappa Sigma. In her Junior year Betty joined the Girls’ Club, was a member of the Alembic Pharmakon staff and assisted as a Junior Prom Gommitteewoman. MARGERY TAYLOR 12 Park Street Oneonta, N. Y. Another of those “blood grabbers and counters” from Bender, Marge came to A.C.P. in September, ’45. She became an active member of the Camera Club in her Freshman year. When the Girls’ Club was formed she became one of its most successful promoters through her speeches in Wednesday Seminars. NORTON W. TAYLOR 87 Rock Island Street Gouverneur, N. Y. It is a firm belief among many that Nort’s pharmacology notes have an excellent chance of surplanting Goodman Gilman as the A.C.P. text in that subject. If that doesn’t bring him “immortality5’ in these hallowed halls, surely his conscientious work as a lab assistant in chemistry should. An Army vet, he served in the China theater. HAROLD B. WALKER 37 Trinity Place Albany, N. Y. Hal is a local boy who, after having served with the Medical Corps in the. E.T.O., decided to try his hand at pharmacy. Combining the life of a student with that of a husband and father is an obstacle defeating many a fellow, but we’ve de- cided he should write a book on the methods he used to suc- cessfully accomplish it. ♦ prttitt i §t itfft t rt ft t %ti - f - - ♦i ? m i t § § t ft ftfiitf $ Hi t % m. 11 i 1111§ iyr t • $ fiti i . • kmmmm iff f . - tftirnttfif tut ft ft § • m n i mmwwtl T flirty-five ALEMBIC J. KEITH WERTHMAN 2124 Highland Avenue Utica, N. Y. Keith’s fame as a Mosquito reconnaissance pilot in the E.T.O. was finally eclipsed at A.C.P. by the formation of the “3 WV in jurisprudence class. How fickle and farcial the public’s memory is! One of the September, ’45 half of the class, he became a Kappa Psi brother in his Freshman year. Keith plans to reverse Horace Greeley’s maxim by heading for Connecticut subsequent to graduation. GERALD D. WHEELER Brisben, N. Y. After a brief stay here, Red left to serve with the Navy on Okinawa and China. Upon his return he again became very active in Kappa Psi, serving as Vice-Regent in his Junior year. A mainstay of the basketball team in his Freshman and Sopho- more years, he switched to the baseball team in his Junior year. In addition, he was a member of the bowling team for three years. PAUL WOLKOFF 48 Tarrington Street Newburgh, N. Y. The third member of that great trio, the “3 W’s”, Paul is a Navy vet with memories of the Mediterranean theater. lie was on the bowling team in his first year and a Jayvee basket- bailer for two years. In addition to joining the student branch of the A.Ph.A., he served ori the Mortar and Pestle staff in his Senior year. Bean’£ Jflcsstege To the Seniors of the Class of 1949 who have so diligently and faithfully discharged their scholastic duties and who in just recognition of their efforts will on June 9 receive their degrees, may I offer an affectionate farewell and express the hope that our pleasant relations may continue through the years to come in our new relationship as fellow alumni of A.C.P. T hirty-six Dean Francis J. O’Brien PHARMAKON Claste ropljecp FLASH: Mystic Crude Drug Corporation, Ltd., of Bombay, India has announced it has sent two of its representatives to conduct a survey to learn the destination and fate of their crude drug sales in the U. S. A. in this year of 1964. The subsequent report reveals the travels and findings of the representatives. On board the “Pride of India”, on our way to the States, we ran across Sal Dardano and Joe Ferro in the gaming room arguing over the outcome of the last presidential race. Successful in business, they have entered international politics. We learned from them that Ilga Lasda and Eric Katz were also aboard on their return to their home offices in Europe where they will try to synthesize Vitamin Bl:i. That night we all had dinner together and recalled old times at A.C.P. At this time we decided to make our mission a kind of vacation to look up our old class. On our arrival at New York we encountered Tony Conte, in the Customs Office, checking for smuggled narcotics. Happy to see us again, Tony told us that Jerry Goldberg had also entered politics after trying pharmacy for awhile, and had become State Secretary of Pharmacy in Connecticut; advocating an eight-year course in pharmacy. Bitterly opposing him was Keith Werthman who now owns Connecticut’s largest chain outfit. After checking in at the Waldorf we went to the Pharmacy there and visited with John Ryan, one of our biggest buyers. He took us into the back room where we were delighted to find Warren Norton engaged in cleaning a “cruddy” bottle. Thaddeus Partyka was trying to wake up Don Lutz to obtain a free cigarette and Paul Wolkoff was standing at one side deftly folding powders. Dick Isele, a sales representative for Eli Lilly, came in and after closing a deal for shipment of crude drugs to Indianapolis we agreed to breakfast and proceed northward with him in the morning. He has that tired married man’s look now after that college romance with Barbara Bonville budded into a permanent union. Our journey started and our first stop was at Newburgh. It was not long before I we were happily engaged in conversation with A1 Miller, successful merchant and man about town. He is occupied in his spare time by raising pheasants on the side. He told us that Nort Taylor was happily married with Marg. Nort has just started up a wholesale chemical business and is engaged in trying to sell ready-made volu- metric solutions which he claims are superior to the laboratory made products. As we left the company of A1 we ran into John O’Neill who has now set up a unique business catering to the pharmaceutical needs of the major league baseball teams. Satisfied with our visit, we progressed onward to Albany where many old acquaintances awaited us. In our wild enthusiasm we made a hurried visit to our Alma Mater. At the door we w'ere greeted by John Sherman. Sherm informed us that he had worked here for some time taking care of the Herbarium and marking the pharmacology papers. He says he feels like a little Caesar taking care of a growing empire. Upon further inspection we found Stew Brooks, who takes care of Pharmacology Laboratory and other such details. He said he was having quite a time trying to teach the course, water the guinea pigs and catch all escaped specimens T hirty-seven ALEMBIC all at the same time. As he puts it, “It’s a syndrome”. On asking about old class- mates, Stew told us that Orel Briceland had bought out Jaffc’s and seems to be doing very well with the help of Ralph Adams. With this information in mind, we progressed to Jaffe’s only to find Adams running a benzoin assay on our Mystic crude product. He said he was looking for someone to take over this job since Harold Walker, a forty-niner, had given it up to go to a safer and less inflammable pastime. Yvonne Jacobson was helping Brice out behind the counter. We found out later that she goes around working a day here and a day there, giving the store proprietors a helping hand and a day of! at regular intervals. With a little thought we concluded she picked up the idea of such a job back in college days when “O’B” told us that Albany needed someone in such a position to go forth for a valid consideration of about twenty dollars a clay. As we emerged from the maze of merchandise at JafFe’s we sighted a big long limousine coming our way. It look the shape of an old 1950 Cadillac as it rolled to a quick stop before us. Kathryn Sayre was behind the massive wheel and Mary' Jarvis and Betty Suelz were directing the driving from the back seat. They told us that they were on their way to the State lab to help Lucille Gallo, who now does research there, track down some new pneumococcus. We learned that Frank Bevins had sent in a sample to the lab for further analysis from his laboratory in Ticon- deroga where he does analysis for a paper mill and also does a little microbe hunting on the side. The girls (they’re not girls any more) were going to assist Lucille in finding out who put the pneumococcus in Mr. Bevin’s culture. We learned from Betty that “Bib” Barry is now married and is raising a happy family down in Saugerties. By this time Dick was ready to leave, so wc departed with him and soon found ourselves approaching a truly professional Pharmacy on the outskirts of Albany. As our vehicle rolled to a stop, the sign informed us that Ed and NoelJa Robert were the proud owners. Ed told us that Frank Rich was on the radio selling Rich’s Wonder—a remedy to make sober people more jolly. Wc also learned that Gunter Berg is now in charge of the F’ulton County lab in Gloversville. Continuing onward we soon entered Endicott, New York. In a few moments we were entering the Davis and Son Pharmacy. Jim was a little ruffled trying to compound a prescription for troches. He gave us a hearty welcome and informed us that the last time he was Albany way he ran into Joe Gazzillo and the Mrs. (former Shirley Clark), foe told him he was going to retire from the drug store and get into something more exciting. He was thinking about working part time at the GE plant in the dispensary and first aid department. He postulated that there arc more interesting things to look at over there. Jim saw Henry Lee awhile back and informed us he is taking off for China to set up a business after several successful years in Cobleskill. Wc noted several paintings adorning the Davis Pharmacy and when we inquired about them wc learned that Phil Drapkin had been the. creator of this art. It seems that Phil is spending most of his time painting, just working an occasional night in a pharmacy to help make ends meet. We soon left for Binghamton where we were surprised to learn Jerry Wheeler is now successor to Hamlins. Jerry informed us that John Schell is inspecting hams T hirty-eight PHARMAKON at Albany Packing. Apparently Schell tried to persuade John Shoales into the same work but he declined the opportunity in favor of his established business. We progressed on to Utica where we found Bob Carney, Art Margolis, Louis Matt, Sol Levine and A1 Kent with their heads together. They had pooled their resources into a corporation to fight the Ahrens syndicate from Oneida. It seems that Ahrens had hired Joe Connolly, as a super promoter, and Ken Colville, the pharmacologist, as a driving force to capture the drug business of that section of the state. Enlivened by meeting new faces we progressed on to Oriskany where we observed a man wearing a lead apron and carrying a Geiger Counter. When we interrupted this industrious individual we found it to be no one else but Bob Heeley. When asked why he was so equipped he informed us that Bob Hosier, who helps him out in the drug store, had accidentally lost a radioactive isotope in his endeavor to deliver it to an impatient physician. Heeley had spent the whole day hunting for it in vain and concluded that all you have to do is turn the crank and something like that will happen. In the quiet of Heelcy’s abode we learned that Thcron Hust had retired several years back after having put on the market the cure all—Kenuza Lake Water. t Nightfall found us on our way to Syracuse. In Waterville we picked up a hitch-hiker who identified himself as Bob Lally. He told us he was working in a store in the heart of the Adirondacks. When asked if he had seen any of the old I ’49 Gold-diggers, he related to us his meeting Eric Krugman up in Corinth. It seems that Krug owns that little store on the corner around the bend that “O’B” used to tell about. It seems that Krug persuaded Harry Clark to go up and help him a while back and now, with Harry’s great speed and dexterity, the two are doing one great business. The following day, in Syracuse, we noticed in a newspaper a sensational photo- graph taken by one H. Jones. A few moments of retrospection made us realize this was old “Shutter Bug” Jones still at his pastime. An address in the phone book directed us to a trailer camp and into the trailer of George Philips. George still 1 hasn’t found a house. A friendly conversation ensued which informed us that George was working in a big downtown Apothecary Shop where Lee Smith also takes a turn with the mortar and pestle. We again departed with our gratuitous chauffeur and found ourselves bearing northeast to Alexandria Bay. The name of this community brought to mind many old faces and after some checking we found ourselves before Betty Blount— Pharmacist. Betty admitted to us she was having a little trouble with business since John Lyman and Art Dooley pooled their resources and set up some stiff opposition across the street. Betty informed us that Art kept himself real busy between cus- tomers by watching tennis matches on the television set he keeps in the back room. While talking with Betty the postman entered and deposited a letter into her hand. She soon disclosed that the letter was from Marty Kelly. Marty and Shirley Howard now constitute the main w'orking machinery of the Bender Lab. They now have charge of the Medical Techs that invade the place from A.C.P. Our visit came to an end with Betty when a customer came in and asked for some senna leaves. We Thirty-nine ALEMBIC watched the transaction intently and were delighted to see what she dispensed. Why, it was Mystic—of course. A long ride then ensued which brought us into Poultney, Vermont. Poultney spelled two names in our minds—Donahue and McShane. We soon found the two of them deeply engaged in a campaign to stop that mortician, who has been there since our college days, from playing pharmacist in that community. When we con- sulted Mack we were able to find out that Dick Malony was down in Connecticut busily engaged in the retail business. At this time Isele received a letter from Indianapolis requesting that he return to the home office immediately. With this fact in mind we made arrangements to also accompany him on his westward trek and we soon found ourselves progressing in that general direction. After much travel and delays, we saw Cleveland looming before us. Our stop there proved most profitable when we came upon Jim Keefe, a detail man for a leading manufacturer. He disclosed that Bob Goss and Dan Griffin both work in a pharmaceutical house in the city. He said the last time they met that Bob was in the red insofar as he had just collided with a ten liter bottle of Mercurochrome Solution. Jim then made a hurried departure explaining he had to make a call on Public Health Commissioner Hines. This proved to be the same Earl Hines who was a public health authority back when we were taking such a course in college. By this time our minds had become overwhelmed by the meeting of old friends. We forgot our original mission in favor of renewing old acquaintances. The over- whelming task of renewing these acquaintances has persuaded us to never do it again. In order that we need never do it again, we have decided to stay with them forever. Mystic Drug, we are not corning back. We have decided right about here to resign! “PJ” Alotta and Joe Crawley ★ 9 Certjnologtst’s; Btarp October, 1945 Dear Diary: Today was our first day at A.C.P. We, the Med Techs, wonder what the next three vears here at college will hold for us. June, 1946 Dear Diary: Exams are over!—And our first year at A.C.P. is finished. This year our work was pretty general. Naturally we’re already getting anxious for the time when we’ll start to specialize in our own field of Medical Technology. There’s talk now about extending our course to four years so we can earn a B.S. degree. We all think we’ll work for it. We understand that with the ever increasing scope of laboratory work more and more training is required. June, 1947 Dear Diary: We are no longer Sophomores now, but officially Juniors—those of us who have remained at A.C.P.—Mary, Barbara, Bib, Betty, Marty, Katie, Shirley, June, Margie, Lucille (who joined our class this year) and Frank. Next year most of our coutses will be taken at Bender Lab. May, 1948 Dear Diary: Bacteriology, Pathology, Histology—we’ve looked forward to taking subjects pertinent to our chosen profession and now we’re really getting all we bargained for. This has been the hardest of our three years but now that we have all successfully completed it and have come to the end of the theory given in this Forty PHARMAKON ( f course, we are anxious to have a chance to put into practice all that we have learned so far. We’ll be home for the next two weeks and then we’ll start our nine months of practical training. September, 1948 Dear Diary: With a couple of the kids on vacation for a few weeks, others getting their hospital training and the rest of us all working in different departments at Bender, it’s hard for all of us to get together. We must plan to meet for a good gab-fest and a couple hands of “Bridge” some day soon. January, 1949 Dear Diary: Our get together today was a big success. Everyone was able to get there. It was quite a thrill to hear Katie, June and Margie talking about “their” patients in the hospital. They seem to be keep- ing pretty busy. Katie said she’s been taking all the blood counts and prothrombin times this week while June has been doing urinanalysis, and Margie has been busy at the microscope with differential white counts and microscopic urine examinations. All of them have been working at the basal metabolism tests and help- ing out with taking venous bloods for sedimen- tation rates, hcmatocut readings and blood chemistry tests (most of which they send down to Bender for us to perform). Lucille and Marty were telling us also about the experience they got during their ten weeks hospital training. A large part of their work was concentrated in fixing, cutting (with a microtone) and staining body tissues for pathologic study. Mary’s training sounded really wonderful. She was able to get practice in all the routine work of any hospital as well as extra work in bacteriology, one of the most interesting phases of our profession. It sounds like she really had a chance to put in practice all our training in identification of bacteria from cultures and smears ancl in the serologic precipitation and agglutination tests. The work Frank is doing in the Public Health Department at Bender is very interesting, especially the milk and water testing for bacterial count which is so vitally important to the general health of the people. Betty has been doing an admirable job at Brady Hospital where a large part of her work consists of blood typing, cross matching and RH factor work. We in the class, who haven’t had any hospital practice yet and who are scat- tered now in several departments at Bender such as the Wasserman Room and chemistry department, are looking forward more and more to our hospital training and to the interesting work we know we will find there. For, through the experiences of our classmates, we are learning the seriousness and great importance of our work. Until now many of us didn’t realize that often the decision as to whether an operation is to be performed, a blood transfusion to be given, perhaps w'hether a life is to be lost or saved through proper diagnosis and treatment, depends on our laboratory findings. June, 1949 Dear Diary: With graduation day almost here we stop to wonder what entries we’ll be placing here in future years. Let’s hope that we’ll be able to write that we are serving humanity to the best of our ability as members of a profession to which we are proud to belong. M. E. B. Forty-one IwwmJw PHARMAKON 4 Junior Ctaste l|t£ton Looking backward, we can sec that we have come a long way down the trail that leads to our B.S. degree in Pharmacy and Medical Technology. On October 21, 1946, one hundred twenty doubtful, hopeful and determined students entered A.C.P. for the first time. Today, after two and a half years of “blood, sweat, and tears”, ninety-nine of us remain more determined than ever to receive our diplomas one year hence. The first business at hand in our Junior year was the election of class officers. After the smoke had cleared from the typical bitterly contested voting, the following officers had been elected: Vincent Drake .... . President Ai-fred O’Brien .... Vice-President Catherine Mariana . Secretary-Treasurer Eugene Peterson .... . . . . . Historian Our next important meeting was held on the eleventh of November. At this session we heard talks from salesmen representing two class ring manufacturing firms. We voted to buy our rings this year from Loren Murchison Co., with delivery guaranteed within ninety days. On the first of March preparations for the most gigantic Junior Prom ever to be held were made. With $600 to spend on this oustanding event, May 6, 1949 was set as the tentative date. Every member of the class was determined to make this affair the Junior Prom to end all Junior Proms. (Of course we hope that they will have one next year too.) Early in the year we were sorry to hear of the illness and temporary with- drawal from school of one of our classmates, John Quinlavin. We all wish him a speedy recovery. Jacqualinc Claus came to us from France—Parlez-vous Francaise? Marve Weiner did. Alvin Ocrtel, recovered from his illness of last year, and Catherine Mariana, who returned to A.C.P. after a one year absence, became classmates of ours. Pete “Pro” Del Santo received his block U for throwing his beef around on the Union College football team. He’s not wearing it on his sweater—it’s in his father’s safe. Togneri, Dryoff, Critz, and “Ole Man Mose” Mahoney continued to toss the ball through the hoop for A.C.P. “Queeny” Lawrence and Dorothy Liebcrman cheered the basketball team to an unbelievable string of victories. Diane Caron, Shirley France, Jack Lieberman, Francis Foley, and Wallace Dcllcr found apartments. Eugene “Life sure gets tedious, don’t it” Peterson is still looking. Bill Rehberg split with Joe “I got a letter from Dewey” Szymanowicz after the election and became a Democrat. Virginia Peckham tried to keep Joe Bergeron awake in Organic class and Len Miller became a “12 o’clock scholar”. When the opportunty presented itself for the first time, many of us became members of the newly formed student branch of the A.Ph.A. Yes, we are finally over the hump, and rolling downhill with full throttle. We found few incompatibilities in our quarterly exams but we were mortified at our midterms. This year if we said, “Next year we’ll be Seniors and then comes gradua- tion”, it sounded very, very' good. But we are not kidding ourselves. We know that there is yet a lot of hard w'ork ahead of us. With one eye on the state boards and the other on the calendar we shall con- tinue to stagger ever onward toward our goal. Eugene K. Peterson Forty-three PHARMAKON op!)omore Clas J tstorp If we were to look upon the title of this page in its true light it undoubtedly would be termed erroneous, for actually to write the Sophomore class history would entail pages and pages of written script, which we in our humble space are not allotted. A class is made of individuals and the story of each individual goes to make a class history. So for now let us look back only two short years to a few’ outstanding highlights of the class. September of 1947, having reached its twenty-second day, found an illustrious group of students who, having been blessed with the talents of a professional mind, had taken the first step towards a goal which seemed very far off. But the days began to pass; introductions w'ere made, parties were held, classes began and in general everyone swung into high gear. Holidays and vacations came and W'ent and by the same token, so did examinations. But along with all this a bond of friendship and understanding seemed to have risen up and tightened itself around a trium- virate—students, faculty and A.C.P. Yes, ’tis true, some fell by the wayside, but for the overwhelming majority of scholastic warriors who had started their plunge over “Freshman Hill” in September of ’47, September of ’48 found them bearing the insignia of Sophomores. So, here we are Sophomores, still creeping stealthily towards a goal which is f now much more discernible and more like a reality than a fantasy. Truly, we as a class of embryo pharmacists and technicians in our second year of study have learned what professionals arc made of, for a small portion of that professional touch has been felt by all. , But through all the scholastic headaches of Sophomores, we managed to get a few extra-curricular activities accomplished. The class elections yielded the following results: Robert Nf.whard ......... President Jf.anne Burns ........ Vice-President Ann Marie Richardson............................. Secretary Carolyn Teriiune..................................Historian The annual reception given for the Freshmen proved to be nothing short of success, for the newcomers were well occupied under the guidance of such talented individuals as Paul Brooks, Bob Newhard, Jerry O’Connor and George Cafarelli, not to mention the entire Sophomore. Committee. The class has been duly represented on the basketball team by Mones, Cafa- relli and Newhard, who have all helped to uphold the fine record the team has maintained this year. Goldman also proved to be an able manager. As the year of 1949 progresses onward, we of A.C.P., on the second lap of the race, look forward to the annual Sophomore Hop. We hope that all who attend will have as much fun as we are having planning it. And so, as a last thought, we Sophomores divert our attention from ourselves and look with pride and admiration upon the Seniors. Theirs is the crowning achievement that we all hope some day to attain. We have a good idea of what they went through to get where they are and they are more than worthy of reward. We, the Sophomores, wish the Seniors of 1949 happiness, good fortune and complete success in their journey over the highway of life. Carolyn Terhunf. Forty-five mm. PHARMAKON Jfrestfjman Claste J tsitorp One hundred and nineteen new students opened the sixty-eight-year-old door of Albany College of Pharmacy on September 15, 1948. Many eager yet dubious faces were greeted with a cordial welcome by Dean O’Brien, only then to be staggered by the gift of a mountain high row of books of their chosen profession. All kinds of expressions greeted Prof. Singer behind his desk as he rose to meet the challenge of teaching the first class in Chemistry to the class of ’52. It did not take us more than one week in Pharmacy College to learn that Remington is a title borne by other things than a typewriter. It was especially easy to learn that this Remington never would become modernized enough to be carried in a “port- able” way. After one week the faces that were duboius were no longer such. Those faces had either changed or departed. The class now numbered one hundred twelve. When we had been in college for not more than a few weeks the Dean an- nounced that the Freshman Class must hold class elections. This we did. At 2:00 p. m. of that bright sunny day designated, the Freshman Class met in the auditorium to determine who would be their chosen guides. The race for each office began. It soon was determined who was who and in what office. The results were as follows: Robert Myers ......... President James Meehan..................Vice-President Roberta Bollinger ......... Secretary Evan Boardman ......... Treasurer Doris Einstein ......... Historian The Sophomores, in order to teach us that all work and no play makes dull students, invited us to a get-together. In the middle of October we all proceeded into the auditorium. By 8:30 the affair was under way. It started off with the Dean telling us the history of the College. Next we were introduced to our future P. ofs. We soon learned the versatility of the Sophomore Class. Four melodic songsters crooned together while leading us in group singing. Then we were “bopped”, and I do mean “bopped” by a be-bopped rendition on the saxophone. After the entertainment we were marched downstairs to the gym to participate in a series of games. Our class was surprised to find out how proficient they were in blowing bubble gum. Dancing followed after which everyone went home thankful to the Sophomore Class for helping us get better acquainted. We were now able to determine what name went with which face. Next on the calendar, the date being October 29, the class attended the Hallowe’en Hop. “Wha’ hoppen’d”—white shirts, dungaries, square dancing! Need more be said? As the year passed, talents of all sorts blossomed forth. With the coming of the basketball season and the formation of the team, our class really showed its colors. Three members of the Freshman Class made the Varsity team. Doug Stone, our prize package from Warrensburg, kept the scorekeepers busy in keeping up with his “swish” shots. Backed by Esten Coan with his Joe Shmoo walk, and Danny Rubinstein’s quick plays, the team was destined to fame. We soon found that the Freshman girls had plenty of the A.C.P. spirit. At the first game we found Jane Adams, Elizabeth Dunning, and Roberta Bollinger, cheering away in the College’s red skirts and white sweaters. Drama was another one of the talents not taken lightly by our class. In the Dramatic. Club’s first presentation we found most of the stars were Freshmen. Roberta Bollinger, Elizabeth Dunning, Nancy Keyes, Richard Culver, Esten Coan, and Janet Doyle played leading roles in the Christmas play called “No Room at the Inn”.

Historian “Are you coming to the ‘Coke Party’ tonight?” This phrase has become a by-word among the members of the Girls’ Club which was formed in the fall of 1947 as an instrument to enable the girls of A.C.P. to become better acquainted with each other. This year the Club has adopted the practice of holding “Coke Parties” so that the girls might gather together informally at the college and have one extra- curricular activity of their own. The skeleton plans for this year include a sleigh ride, a trip to Cooperstown, a sport dance, a picnic for the girls at Thatcher Park, and, if possible, another picnic for fellows and girls to round out the Junior Prom weekend. The Club not only hopes to make the sleigh ride an annual affair, since it was such a success last year, but it also hopes to include as an annual affair the picnic to be held the same weekend as the Junior Prom. Since the Girls’ Club is an infant organization here at A.C.P., the sport dance will be an endeavor upon our part not only to help make it a permanent part of college life but also to show that it is a benefit to all. To each member of the Class of ’49 we extend our best wishes for success in the state boards as well as in all of their undertakings.

These members included Lucille Truesdale, Jeanne Burns, Ann Scuderi, Alice Rozan, Shirley Hickey, Ann Winchell, Ann Marie Richardson, Nancy Palmer and Carolyn Terhune. Katherine Mariak was chairman of the dinner, w'hich was also attended by Beta graduate chapter. In October the graduate chapter entertained the members of Beta chapter at a tea held at the Albany Women’s Club. Mrs. F. J. O’Brien, Mrs. John Dwyer and Miss Mary Louise Jewett were special guests at this affair. October was a busy month, for it was then that we put on the memorable Corn Hop with Kappa Psi Fraternity. This dance was considered a huge success and was enjoyed by everyone attending it. We would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank Kappa Psi for considering their sisters in this eventful and money- making project, for it did help our treasury. In December our members began sporting new sweat shirts of blue and gold, the sorority colors. At the same time a great number of the girls ordered their pins. If the students haven’t recognized a AK2 girl before, they are sure to now. As this goes to press the sorority is making plans for forthcoming events. We are considering the pledging of new- members, which will include girls in the present Freshman Class. We hope to enlarge our Sorority numbers some time in February. Of course these girls will have to be put on a probation status, along with going through an initiation period. We also hope to enrich our treasury by sponsoring a raffle. Lambda Kappa Sigma would like to wish the Class of ’49 the best of success and happiness in the accomplishment of their future aims.

Chaplain It is the purpose of a pharmaceutical fraternity to promote ethical practice and, in general, endeavor to unite the pharmacists and students throughout the country for the benefit of the pharmacist as well as the pharmacy profession. Kappa Psi, founded in 1879, based its chief aims on the carrying out of these principles. At the present time Kappa Psi is the only National Pharmaceutical Fraternity recognized in the official list of Professional Fraternities. Under the able guidance of Regent Robert Carney, Beta Delta has recorded a very successful year. Immediately following the initiation in December, the new members were feted at an informal banquet at Hall’s Banquet Room. In October our annual Hallowe’en dance was held at the college, together with our sister sorority, and the goblins provided an enjoyable evening for all. On February 25th, a closed formal dance was held'-at Willford’s Roost. The members of Kappa Psi and their guests will long remember this evening as one of the top social events ever attended, not to mention ouh SteiVPatricK’s Dfiy 'Dance.

With the reactivation of the old chapters, and the addition of many new ones, Phi Delta Chi has again resumed its position among the largest pharmaceutical fraternities in the country. Highlighting our activities this year was the annual Christmas dance. Under the capable management of Jim Fay, it proved to be a tremendous success. We feel that the favorable reputation it has gained in the past has vindicated its precedence. Brothers Gailbraith, Fay, Fizettc and Gustafson motored to the University of Connecticut to aid in the installation of a new chapter on February 10, 1949. The delegates were treated royally and thoroughly enjoyed their trip. The reception of Professor Dewell, a Phi Chi of the olden days, as faculty advisor has proved to be a great asset to the group and we are looking forward to a long and pleasant association with him at the helm. This year we pay special tribute to our graduating brothers. The fine spirit of cooperation they displayed in reactivating our chapter, their will to work for the good of all and their scholastic achievements, will not be forgotten, nor will they terminate. We, who remain, will not be content to equal their fine record, but will strive to carry fraternal laurels to even greater glory. To the ‘49’ers, we extend congratulations and sincere wishes for success in all undertakings. Fifty-five Orel Bricelaxd f)o Jfratermtp Arthur G. Margolis Raymond Kramer . Stanley T. Brown stein .

Wc were most fortunate in that we were able to obtain for our exclusive use, a fraternity house. We are sure that the facilities offered us will always be a challenge, and that the ultimate upkeep of the house will become a reality. Yes, 1948 was our year. For the first time since its activiation in 1921, Beta Chapter finally swelled its ranks to the number of twenty. This was made official when late in December we welcomed into the fraternity seven new members at a festive initiation dinner. At this time, we welcomed Mr. Walt Singer into the ranks of our Honorary Members. With a fine group of hard working fraters, the chapter went on to fulfill its social, scholastic and athletic endeavors. Then came 1949. It was then that people began to have respect for age. And so it was with us. We, too, began to have more respect for age and we planned a well-coordinated program that included our alumni of the capital district. At the first formal get together at Jack’s Restaurant, plans were formulated for the presentation of a key at Graduation to the highest Rho Pi Phi student. In closing, w-e wish the best of luck to all the members of the 1949 Graduating class. Ray Kramer Fifty-six ) .

Robert Hosier was elected Chairman; Alfred O’Brien, Vice-Chairman; and Jeanne Burns, Secretary. The usual business of straightening out the scholastic budget was imme- diately dealt with after Dean O’Brien oriented the Council on the procedures to be followed. This year’s Council was unique in that it had the honor of appropriating the first $1500 towards a building fund to be used for the purpose of adding a cafeteria and lecrcation room. May the goal of this initial appropriation be met, as this addition of facilities is very’ much needed. The entire Student Council extends its thanks to Dean O’Brien, whose sagacity’ and patience were absolutely necessary for the smooth functioning of the Council.

Dr. Harold G. Ilewitt. Dean of the Pharmacy College of the University of Connecticut, and Chairman of Student Branches, A.Ph.A., was the installing officer, with Dean O’Brien as presiding officer. The charter membership of 126 students represents all four classes now in school. Organized in 1852 the A.Ph.A. now has an active membership of more than 10,000 members in the United States, its possessions, and various foreign countries. In addition there are nearly sixty student branches composed of about 8,000 asso- ciate or student members located at all leading colleges of pharmacy. Long the leading pharmaceutical society, the A.Ph.A. maintains its headquarters in the American Institute of Pharmacy in Washington, 1). C. The association has as its sole purpose the advancement of the profession of pharmacy. Through its publication of the National Formulary-, the Scientific and Practical Pharmacy journals and other printed material given wide distribution, it constantly promotes pharmaceutical literature. Its dominant position in the drug field makes it the ideal agency in its liaison capacity between the profession and the many interested governmental bodies. Through the medium of its monthly meetings, the local branch has as its aims the diffusion of the latest practical and scientific pharmaceutical information and the elevation of pharmacy as a profession in fact, as well as in desire. Meetings are normally open to all interested persons in the Capital District area. Elected officers for the remainder of the 1948-1949 school year are: John F. Sherman, ’49 . . .....

Indeed, progress in improvement of the darkroom has con- tinued so that the students of A.C.P. enjoy the facilities of a well-equipped modern photographic lab. Two years ago, through the influence of Franklin Bevins, the Club replaced its enlarger with a new one and added an electric ferrotype print dryer which we have all appreciated for its time saving qualities. Last year John Kelly and Vice-President Mike Rossi, who succeeded John as President toward the end of the year, obtained ij a new contact printer, a timeolite, and a new .sink for the darkroom. This year, under the leadership of President Mike Rossi and the industry and resourcefulness of members, there have been added retouching equipment, a Uticam enlarger, and a fan for improved ventilation and comfort. Thanks to our faculty advisor, Professor Reed, complete electric rewiring has been installed in the dark- room. All of these and many other minor additions and improvements have made the A.C.P. darkroom the pride of the Club. Activities have included a demonstration in the practice of retouching by Lou Kalbfeld, discussions at the meetings on various cameras and their virtues, and other phases of photography of interest both to the amateur and the professional. As in the past, the Camera Club has cooperated with the staff of the Alembic Pharmakon, through Howard Jones, in contributing material and talents for the production of this yearbook, in which an attempt has been made at portrayal of the student body and activities, curricular and otherwise, for the past year at A.C.P. ■ Fifly-nine Harry Clark ■ PHARMAKON BasftetimU This year saw A.C.P. entered into The Empire Newr York State Basketball League. This was the first year of this newly formed eastern New York league. A.C.P. also acquired a new coach this year, securing the services of Mr. R. Meagher, from Bethlehem Central High, who took over coaching duties for the season. With a nucleus of last season’s lettermen, and the addition of several out- standing under classmen. Coach Meagher moulded the team into a strong quintet to represent A.C.P. in the newly formed league. Among the lettermen returning were: Sol Levine, Captain of the squad; P. Del Santo, R. Kramer, T. Critz, R. New- hard, and B. Dryoff. These members along with the other players comprised the varsity squad. With 11 wins against 3 losses, A.C.P. captured second place in the Empire State League, accumulating 842 points as compared to 680 points for the opposition. We also won the challenge of an old rival, Utica Commerce, to the tune of 63-49. To complete this brief review it is necessary to recognize and thank every individual member of the team, along with their Coach, Manager Frank Burnham, and the members of the Cheer Leading Squad for their time and effort put forth to bring A.C.P. a team which is a credit to them, to the college, and to the capital district.

This was the notice on the bulletin board that started the ball rolling on this added activity at Pharmacy. It was in the fall of ’46 when this notice was handed to Sol Dardano who in turn spirited the formation of a bowling team for the future pharmacists. Dardano, along with Joe Ferro, Joe Crawley, Dan Buckley and Jerry Wheeler, went on to win this first match. Then in the fall of '48, the Capital District Intercollegiate Bowling League was formed through the work of Lynn Kinney of A.B.C. and Sal Dardano of A.C.P. The League is composed of R.P.I., Siena, Albany Law School, State College, A.B.C. and A.C.P. The League, now in its second year of operation, is progressing in fine shape under the leadership of Sal Dardano, President; Bill Williams of Law School, Vice-President; and Lou Witt of Siena, our capable Secretary-Treasurer. At the time of this writing Pharmacy is right in the thick of the league fight, standing in third place, with State College and R.P.I. leading. With only fifty percent of the scheduled games bowled, the chances of Pharmacy’s gaining top honors are excellent.

The members of the Commission were selected by the Dean from those of the student body who showed their interest in the school’s athletic program. The members of the Commission are: Richard Iscle, Albert Miller, Anthony Conte, John O’Neill, John Lyman, Frank Burnham and Jerry Goldberg. At their first meeting the members selected Richard Isele as President and Frank Burnham as Corresponding Secretary. The Athletic Commission was formulated to handle the financial and adminis- trative matters that are necessary to carry out a successful athletic program. The first and most important task that lay before the Commission w as to draw up a budget. 'Phis included the allocation of money for buses, new basketball uniforms, basketball equipment, and various other expenses. The Commission, under Frank Burnham’s direction, then proceeded to arrange what proved to be a very successful basketball schedule. Taking into consideration the team’s entry into the newly formed Empire State Conference League, Frank scheduled both the League games and the necessary practice games. The Commission completed another difficult task in the selection of efficient and competent cheer leaders from the many eligible girls at A.C.P. Their selection has certainly met with the approval of all who have seen the girls perform at the games throughout the season. These are but a few of the many tasks that have been successfully undertaken by the Athletic Commission this year. These duties plus the responsibility of the school’s athletic equipment, keeping score books, handling the clock, and collecting money at the basketball games have certainly, in no small way, contributed to the smooth running organization that comprised this year’s basketball team.

As we retrace the attempts of man to master his environment, we see that his thought processes were intimately associated with pharmaceutical confusion. We are truly justified in our belief of a supreme volatile, oxytoxic and cosmic medium—Remington’s Inter-Planetary Pharmacy. This revered compendium is so vital to infantile pharmacy that a synopsis at this time is a necessity. Since a study in toto of its 6.02 x 1023 pages would require in the neighborhood of the time con- sumed for a bucket of squill to traverse the Tropic of Capsicum, a consideration of the more cardinal concepts will be illuminated. The whole thing started when Prof. Mathers was pondering the effects of ultra-low pressures and general upper stratospheric conditions on an emulsion compounded under earthly standards. The first few chapters are devoted to the problem and its inherent paradoxes. To facilitate comprehension of the problem several sterio—encyclopedic pharmacists were sought. These “what-pages-are-the- test-on” students undertook an extremely difficult task. Let us see what happened. It was decided that 30.00000009 cc (approx. 1 oz.) of a standard emulsion be used; and to be prepared by the United Kingdom Method. On the morning of February 25th, 1946 it was projected from Dudley Observatory toward the lunar periphery under propulsion of fuel containing a substantial amount of “119 Club Elixir”. As ascertained from current astronomical data—plus a consideration of alchemic light years—the emulsion was to have returned to the environs of Albany at 1:35 A. M. the following day. Failure to arrive, however, precipitated mass confusion in pharmaceutical circles. After a seminar of eminent pharmacists, it was decided to project a rocket—The S.T.37—at the same azimuth as that followed by the emul- sion. Evidently, there was some hope that the emulsion could either be found in the ether, or more likely, at some planet. On February 29, 1946, again at Dudley Observatory, the S.T.37 with its crew were hurled into space. Its route, as well as atmospheric conditions in general were closely followed via radar. The rocket, contrary to theory, transversed the ionosphere with greater resistance that has been calculated. These results, however, were reversed in the stratosphere and superstratoshpere where the acceleration increased positively. After three years, the rocket having impinged upon thousands of intraspacial bodies, finally spent itself and landed on a planet as yet unidentified. Life on the new planet was indeed strange. The group in quest of the lost emulsion came into intimate contact with various phenomena that were contra- dictory to earthly pharmaceutical practice. The tedious procedure that earth-bound pharmacists encounter in preparing Drop Chalk was solved in a speedy manner. Here it was possible (due to an increase of gravitational force) to prepare Drop Chalk by dropping the precipitated from a height of 3.71 meters. The sunshine vitamin—vitamin D—was sold at most apothecaries as emulsified sunlight (water in sun type). Hormones had already been deleted from the official compcndiums. About the only thing commensurate with our methods was in the preparation of Black Ointment. It might be added, however, that the Green Ointment at the co mic potential of the planet was radioactive. Naturally, one might well inquire as to the education necessary to practice cosmic alchemy. It was found by the members of the rocket crew through inquiry, that the training was somewhat rigorous. Only those children who could count to 15 without taking their shoes off at the age of 3.5 years were considered to be pharma- ceutically bent. After completion of Aristotle, Galen, Proctor, and after a study of “Confusion on the Hudson”, they were permitted to attend Alchemy College of Universal University. While the crew of scientists arrived back on the earth without the emulsion, they felt that they had at least learned something which might be value to their fcllowmen. S. M. Brooks Seventy-three ALEMBIC Slurnni association The 1948 annual meeting' of the Alumni Association was held on the evening of June 3rd in the ballroom of the Ten Eyck Hotel during the intermission between the annual banquet and the dance which followed. There were 261 alumni and friends in attendance. A special feature of the 1948 meeting was the presentation of a beautifully engraved certificate to the living members of the class of 1898 who were celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of their graduation. Those receiving certificates were: Harry Honikel, Frederick Dixon, and Joseph Rickcrt, all of Albany; Frank Palmer and Herbert Van Voast of Johnstown; Joseph Vincent, of Lockport; Walton Sanderson of Oneonta, and DeBaun Van Aken of Amsterdam. Mr. Van Aken and Mr. Ilonikel spoke in behalf of the class of ’98 on their experiences as students fifty years ago. The principal speaker of the evening was Dr. Ernest Little, former Dean of Rutgers University and now President of the American Pharmaceutical Association. William Lippman, ’22, Vice-President of the Association, presided. Announcement was made of the gift of a completely new clock and bell system to the college by Myron L. Walker of the class of ’24. The graduating class pre- sented the college with a student mail box in memory of Pfc. Desmond Siddon, a classmate, who was killed in action in the Battle of the Bulge. An Alumni balance of $2,149.71 was reported by the Treasurer. The Association voted to use as much of this balance as necessary to provide improved lighting and electrical fixtures for the college. Upon the motion of Benjamin Fleischman, ’28, seconded by Jacob Hacken, ’24, and William Friedland, ”28, approval for the estab- lishment of a New York City Branch of the Association w!as given.
