Those who survived the massacre of the Sophomore year found the Junior year somewhat easier. Flow sheets again became the fad thanks to Qual., and with 2H pencils held high, we marched into Plant Anatomy and our joyous reunion with Dr. Eby. Dr. Autian's Physical Pharmacy course caused us many nightmares in which HLB’s and interfacial tensions whirled around. Proteins, enzymes, carbohydrates and amino acids were the topics of the day in Dr. Stezzi's Biochemistry course. Dr. Stezzi, that year, discovered an essential compound that he was not able to live without; whose name was Lucille and whom he married. In the History of Pharmacy course given by Dr. Sprowls, we discovered that some of our more illustriousancestores went in for skull trepanning in a really big way. Dr. Logan extolled the virtues of the Public Health Service over and over and over and over again, and he also demonstrated to us the merits of the honor system of taking tests. Then, along came Pharmacognosy and it was not long before it became apparent to us that here was an omen of horrible things to come in the Senior year. Dr. Mann presented an excellent and interesting course in Pharmacology as well as a few incidental lessons in correct pronounciation of works. There is a man in our school with whom every fire fighter in the vicinity of Phila. is familiar and who may be seen running after every fire engine and rescue squad. His name is Mr. Lynch, and his best advise for those who aspire to becoming retail druggists is to “marry the boss's daughter. Although there is continual bantering in his class by the students, and we at times force him to take tranquilizers to retain his sanity, we hold him in great esteem and have a great deal of affection for him. He is a man that goes to great lengths and spends a great deal of his time in the pursuit of the advancement of the Pharmaceutical profession. From him we have gleaned a great deal of practical information from his own experiences and we shall always be grateful to him and remember him fondly. Class Officiers President--Nick Centafont Vice-President--Jim Doluisio Secretary-- Rita Snyder Treasurer--Forrest Fisher Student Council--E1i Farri, Sally Lauer To our relief the Senior year arrived, and except for Pharmacognosy, Pharmacology, Quant., and Dispensing it was a most enjoyable year. This year was spent mostly in cultivating mice and rats as friends, and in trying to guess what the questions meant in Dr. Peterson's “What am 1 thinking Dispensing exams. To add to the fun, Dr. Eby kept us occupied re-re-re-re-redoing Pharmacognosy drawings. The Pharmacy course was given by Dean Sprowls whose mid-semester final exam nearly drove us to drink. Pharmacy Math reappeared on the scene and Mr. Foulkrod and Mr. Frailey took time out from their law practices to give us some pointers on law as it applies to the Pharmacist. Perhaps our greatest stroke of good fortune was being on hand when Pakistan returned Dr. James to Temple Pharmacy. He is a man possessed of a very rare gift for witticisms, a phoenetic systemof hisown, and it soon became evident that when he told us to 1 learn to learn, he was really telling us to learn to memorize. Our Senior year was climaxed with several enjoyable trips and our Senior Prom, but the climax to our four years here occurs in June on graduation day. It is a climax but also a beginning of our futures, and may the coming years be filled with happiness, world peace, prosperity, and service both to the Profession of Pharmacy and our fellow man. 25

CLASS HISTORY Looking back upon the four years we have spent here and trying to recall all the events that took place in that time, is a difficult task. Time, and our minds, have a way of emphasizing and deemphasizing past events. For this reason, reflection can not be as accurate nor as complete as keeping records of events as they occur. And, since this history of our class has been written upon reflection, it can, only at best, be an incomplete account. It is generally believed that registration day was designed as a method of torture by which to test the endurances of incoming students. If one had the courage, strength, and fortitude to last through this ordeal, he was considered initiated and could begin the course. Classes began and the next few weeks were spent in getting acquainted with our classmates and our teachers. We were introduced to artistic drawing by Dr. Eby in Botany; saw the difference in teaching methods in English as contrasted by the subdued Mr. Mitchel and the somewhat unique Mrs. Flanagan; and discovered that Hydrogen has a valence of 1 via Mr. Elkin in inorganic chemistry. In History, we learned from Mr. Wagner the art of writing notes, and from Mr. Miller we became thoroughly familiar with the extraneous activities of the various Kings when their Queens weren't looking. In Algebra and Trigonometry we juggled quadratics and logarithms under tutelage of Miss Jacobson and Mr. Hagis, while Mr. Leitch managed to keep us pretty much in the dark through most of Zoology. After Qual., the cry around school was “What comes down in Group II” and, finally, in Pharmacy Orientation we learned that suppositories were not to be taken orally. To most of us, however, the highlight of this year was the Christmas party given by Mr. Elkin, a wonderful instructor and a wonderful person. Class Officiers President--Nick Centafont Vice-President--Al Moretti Secretary--Connie Fisher Treasurer--Bob Tritel Student Council--Bob Cox, Rita Snyder Our Sophomore year was not unlike a fast merry-go-round, with most of the class holding on tight lest they fall off and all getting dizzy by the fast ride. This year was a smorgasbord composed of difficult courses, many experiences, and a year longcontinuous headache. Nearly everyday left us feeling like the day after an all night New Years Eve party. In Organic Chemistry, Dr. Vazakashadus running around in benzene rings with the rules of Halogenation becoming our rules to live by. Dr. Fackenthal made foolscap of us in Physics and our heads began to swing like a pendulum with our resistances beingcon-stantly decreased. In Bacteriology with Dr. Cobe, the Streptococcus rocked us and we streaked Petri dishes to the most popular tune that year; “get your culture media ; while all was not isotonic in Pharmacy Math. Perhaps the greatest experience for most of us was Dr. Larson’s Physiology course. There, we learned to charcoal broil our fingers, heard a heart beatin in Hi-Fi, and performed “operations on most uncooperative dogs that often excreted whenever, wherever, and on whomever they chose. Then, lest we forget, (as if we ever could) there was Dr. Autian’s Pharmacy course. An adept extemporanious speaker, he kept us so captivated by his lectures that nary a student was tempted so much as a smile, a sideward glance, or a cough. Neckties were brought into greater prominence that year, while our cleaning bills for our lab coats made fortunes for the various laundries throughout the city.
