American $fjarmaceutical gteotiatton tubcnt IBrancf) J. Hanson, L. Jeanneret, Mr. DeNuzzo, G. Allen, H. Phillips. The American Pharmaceutical Association Student Branch, the professional organization which represents the aims of pharmacy on a national basis, is proud of its past year of achievement. The success of the branch can be attributed to its slate of officers, the committees, and the interest of the student body. The officers were elected and installed at the annual banquet held at'the Hot Shoppes in April; George Allen, President; Hank Phillips, Vice President; Jane Hanson, Secretary; and Lois Jeanneret, Treasurer. Mr. Louis Kazin, Drug Topics, and Ken Griswald, vice-president of the board of trustees, spoke. Under the able leadership of Wes Barnard assisted by Ted O’Toole, the student membership reached an all time high. Art Berlin made arrangements for the spaghetti dinner held at Panetta’s. Throughout the year, various speakers and pro- grams contributed to the promotion of pharmaceutical ethics and knowledge. For the second year, the association sent representatives to the national conven- tion in New York City. Last year, Lois Jeanneret and Elsie Weber were delegates representing the student branch at the Detroit convention. We, the members of the A.Ph.A., wish to take this opportunity to thank our faculty advisor, Mr. Ralph DeNuzzo, for his work and time spent making up our programs and securing speakers for our monthly meetings. We also want to congratulate the June graduates and wish them success in their careers. 29

H tubent Council Seated: J. McCarthy, A. Kangisser, Dean O’Brien, G. O’Connell, C. Fox. Standing: R. Viehdorfer, M. Loudis, C. Leighton, B. Adler. The first student governing body of the Albany College of Pharmacy was estab- lished in the fall of 1924. It consisted of a general committee and two executive com- mittees. The general committee was comprised of the faculty, fraternity leaders, class presidents and athletic managers. This committee was concerned with student welfare and legislation and also directed the social functions of the college. The executive committees were appointed by the class presidents, and they carried out the decisions of the general committee. In 1930 the present student council was founded with the function of promotion of interest in pharmaceutical education and social activities. In 1938, the student budget was appropriated for the approval of the student body. The student council in addition to these functions also appoints the editors of the Mortar and Pestle and the Alembic Pharmakon. It is composed of nine members; the president and vice- president of each class and Dr. O’Brien, dean of the college. The guiding factor through the years has been the interest of the student body. At this time the student council on behalf of the student body wishes to thank Dr. O’Brien for his interest and guidance through the years. 28

From this beginning at the University of Penn- sylvania, the movement has enlarged to more than 500 clubs with full or part-time chaplains. This organization is a means whereby Roman Catholic students can keep in touch with their faith, a place where they can discuss their problems with others having similar difficulties, and a place where questions can be answered by one quali- fied to do so. The chaplain does his best to provide the Roman Catholic students in a secular university with the safeguards of their faith. Pharmacy’s Newman Club has provided its members with many activities this year. A Communion Breakfast was held in November in connection with Catholic Youth Week, and many attended from A.C.P. as well as from area nursing and medical schools. In December a collection was taken for the Hungarian Relief with the members rallying to help. After semester exams, plans were made for an Open House with St. Peter’s Hospital and Hudson Valley Technological Institute. At this time, the Pre-Cana Conference was also started and extended to the end of the school year. These marriage conferences proved to be very popular with the members since so many were already married or engaged. As the year ended, Newman Club was well satisfied with its activities accomplished mainly through the efforts of its chaplain and its president, Bill Steed. 30
