A mencan a emical Man’s fighr against disease lias, in recent years, been very successful and great strides have been taken, but there is still a need for new improvements and discoveries. These improvements will only come about through long hours of research and develop- ment. The student affiliate branch of the American Chemical Society, under the guidance of Professor George Ceresia, is an organization devoted to the stimulation of student activity along the lines of medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry research. It is the hope of the A.C.S. that this stimulation may one day provide the pharmaceutical industry with future chemists. Research work in chemistry is the basis upon which the pharmaceutical industry owes its competi- tive spirit. With the advent of each new discovery, comes a new open doorway, providing the pathway for others in the field of research. Young minds with new ideas are needed to open these locked doors and to continue the ever increas- ing search for drugs which will add to man’s store- house of armaments against disease and disease- carrying organisms.

The Newman Club, founded by Henry Car- dinal Newman, is an organization whereby the Catholic students of a non-Catholic college are enabled to learn more about their religion and keep a closer contact with God. Under the leadership of Father Murphy, assist- ant pastor at Saint James Parish, and of the officers, President William Dwyer, Vice-President Michael Gisondi, Secretary Dorothy Watson and Treasurer William Eccles, t,he Newman Club has an active part in the lives of the Catholic students at the Albany College of Pharmacy. Throughout the year, monthly Communion breakfasts are held at Saint James Church. Two boys from the college serve the priest at Mass on these mornings. This has proved a most pleasant way of worshipping together and fulfilling ou obligations of Holy Mass and Holy Communior The annual May Day parade was again thi year met with much enthusiasm by the Newmar ites. This open devotion to the Blessed Mothe is a demonstration of our belief in the Mother o God. Father Murphy, despite his busy schedule, ha taken time to visit the school two days a week ti enable any student, Catholic or non-Catholic, t obtain help and guidance with religious or per sonal problems. Also, this gives us all a chano to better acquaint ourselves with our chaplin. The officers thank everyone for their coopera tion throughout the year. Your Newman Club like any other organization is as successful as you the members make it. Row 1 B. Plahanski, J. Franco, F. Jastrzebski, B. Eccles, W. Dwyer, Rev. John J. Murphy, D. Watson, M.
