Senior students under the guidance of Sebastian C. Pirruccello, director of the clinic pharmacy, fill approximately one thousand prescriptions monthly. Operated as a service to the indigent people of the area, this clinic serves as a teaching aid to pharmacy students. Here medicine is dispensed at cost to patients reg- istered at the clinic. Free drugs are given to those unable to purchase them. Through the winter holidays and summer vacation period, the clinic is operated by advanced students who are required to return and assist faculty members in the perpetual operation of the dispensary. Last fall junior and senior students, together with C. Henry Sprague, assistant professor of pharmaceutical chemistry; Dr. Philippos E. Papadakis, associate professor of chemistry; Manuel Nuno, instructor in chemistry; and Dr. Nicholas Dietz, Jr., associate professor of biological chemistry and nutrition; made In- dianapolis their destination on their annual education trip. As guests of the Eli Lilly Company, the fifty-two students and faculty members toured the plant. They were familiarized with the various aspects of commercial research and production. This knowledge of pharmacy in a different aspect made the trip especially valuable. Although Pharmacy is separated from the Hilltop in location, it is a vital part of the university, and this year it was their senior student, Ken Boeding, who became King Creighton XXVII. Pharmacy Day, traditionally the school ' s outstanding sociability of the year, celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary. Dick Walcher chairmaned the day ' s festivities. Dr. William A. Jarrett, as dean of the col- lege of Pharmacy, is in personal contact with each of the students and aids them in their problems and schedule planning. Fr. Harry B. Crimmins S.J., is regent of the school. JL.LA± Dean William fl. Jarrett; Frank Ferraro; C. Henry Sprague, Francis fl. Welsh; Mrs. Ann L. Czerwinski; Sebastian Pirrucello. Page 28
