HE M I S T U COLLEGE DAZE When we study Pharmacog., Everything seems in a fog. Aloe, Ginger, Cocculus, About all these they make a fuss. But if there were no drugs to learn, And all the profs were cold and stern, You know right now where we would be; We ' d say goodbye to I. C. P. In Chemistry are formulae We learn them but we wonder why. Beakers and flasks and graduates Solutions, salts, precipitates; Tests for Aluminum and Lead, To study these requires a head. The hardest blow it seems to me Is when we pay our breakage fee. And now we turn to Pharmacy From N. F. VI to U. S. P. Elixirs, powders, ointments, pills Spirits prepared in copper stills. Exams galore and mental strain. Doses to learn that tax your brain. Our only hope is looking toward The day we learn we ' ve passed the Board. Adele Lobraico Page forty-eight

H M U CLASS OF ' 42 SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY During the early part of Septem- ber in 1938, the largest class of its time, totaling eighty-three students, entered the portals of the Indian- apolis College of Pharmacy for the first time — entering into the career and profession of Pharmacy. Four states of the union — Indiana, Il- linois, Ohio and Michigan — were represented by this record-breaking class. The first two weeks of school can truly be classified as hectic — new adjustments to be made, new sur- roundings, new teachers and new faces. Such terms as Pharma- copoeia , Sternocleidomastoid , Parenchyma , etc. were mentioned and many of the students thought that these were the names of some of the instructors or perhaps the roll was being called. After the first two weeks though, each student was quickly becoming adjusted and ac- quainted with his new adventure. At last the big moment arrived — students would start laboratory work the next day. Everyone had been waiting for this moment, and now the chance had come. The lab- oratories were entered and here such things were discovered as, Precipi- tation , Theoretical Yield , Levi- gation , and Calci-nation . Also that glass was insoluble in the water running through the table troughs. Accounting for lecture work, new theories were discussed, chemical and botanical terms launched, and pharmaceutical math was entered into. The days were quickly passing by — class officers were elected, class pins ordered, bowling tournaments held, and Christmas vacation was now in sight. The two weeks ' vaca- tion proved to be really restful, those first semester exams loitering in the offing.
