saw service with the United States Navy from 1942-1946, in which he served as a Pharmacist ' s Mate in the South Pacific area. Dr. DoUe is currently a student at the L niversity of Maryland Dental School, where he will receive a D.D.S. degree in June. 1959. During the formative and difficult times of the sophomore and junior years, our path was made easier with the great help of Dr. Sciarra. After serving in the United States Army from 1916- 1947 as an instructor in food handling, Dr. Sciarra entered St. John ' s University, College of Pharmacy. He received his B.S. from this in- stitution in 1951, followed by an M.S. from Duquesne University in 1953. and his Ph.D. from University of Maryland in 1957. In addi- tion. Dr. Sciarra was also an instructor in Galenical Pharmacy at the University of Michi- gan, prior to coming to Maryland. At the present time. Dr. Sciarra is a member of the faculty at his original alma mater, St. John ' s University, where he is specializing in development of gradu- ate work in physical pharmacy and Aerosols. Dr. Allen, our guiding hand during the senior year, also received his degrees here at the Uni- versity of Maryland, with a B.S. in 1937, and a Ph.D. in 1949. During this time. Dr. Allen served with the United States Army from 1912- 1945, as an officer in the Medical Service Corps. First commissioned as a reserve second lieutenant in 1941. he was activated in April, 1942, and rose to the rank of captain. Dr. Allen saw service overseas for 35 months, in the South Pacific and China-Burma-India Theaters. After dis- charge, he retained his reserve commission until 1953. While a graduate student at the University of Maryland, Dr. Allen literally rose through the ranks; as an assistant, junior instructor, and in- structor. He also worked as a hospital pharmacist during this period. Dr. Allen is now an Associate Professor of Pharmacy, here at the University of Maryland. We truly believe that any success we may enjoy in later years will be due to the efforts of these men. Their unselfish sacrifice of time, their patience, warmth, sincerity, and understanding have been invaluable to us. and We can only hope that we will be worthy of their attention. We also feel that our relationships with these men have been closer than usual, and as we Dr. Benjamin F. Allen Associate Professor of Pharmacy prepare for our careers in Pharmacy, we look upon them as not only faculty advisors, but as warm and close friends to all of us. It is with extreme humility and feeling that we give our most sincere thanks to these men, not only for what they have done for us, but for the privilege of being able to associate our- selves with them.
