but we somehow managed to streak through the course. Drug Assay was nothing new and neither were the techniques employed in the lab. Many of the students ran assays with an adding machine using a pencil as an indicator. Pharmacognosy sits high on the shelf of phar- maceutical knowledge, and to most of us. the shelf would have been the perfect place for it. Dr. Slama ' s stimulating lectures prompted many stu- dents to sign up for the pre-graduate program and cosmetics the following year. Economics introduced us to the Leavitt system of disorganization, a s steni we would encounter again whether we wanted to or not. As we all can recall. History of Pharmacy was only a one credit course, but one would ha e never known it from the amount of work entailed. The Senior year was welcomed wholeheartedly by thirty-nine members of the original class, plus fifteen refugees, who like Odysseus had wandered far and long to reach the final obstacle. The slower pace which most of us were anticipating in the Senior year never seemed to materialize. C.M.P. proved to be a very trying course to many of us: that is. the few who had somehow man- aged to forget the one or two things that Dr. Doorenbos told us to review. Pharmacology also proved to be quite an obstacle to many of us. while the memorizers. a few of the bovs in par- ticular, had a field day. After a day of frog lab, the boys looked like they just spent a hard day ' s work in the coal mines, while the girls took advantage of their femininity and turned on the waterworks. It was quite enthralling for the bug student to be able to tell his parents and friends what type of cockroach or skunk was dwelling in their homes. Marketing and Accounting were very worthwhile courses to those of us who desired a doctorate in those fields. Both courses were so well organized and presented that the text book w as not essential. Hospital Pharmacy allowed the students, if nothing else, a chance to catch up on their sleep. The pre-graduate students, on the other hand, had quite a struggle doing two hun- dred calculus problems for homework, while look- ing for the missing shadow on the building. Dr. Ballman was well received and appreciated by those students who were fortunate enough to have had her. Pharmacy brought us into contact with com- mercial products and drugs that we didn t realize existed. It was noted that the practicing ph si- cians and members of the state board never heard of them either, but anyway, they were important for illustration purposes. The long tenure had finally ended, and we would soon leave the realm of academic life to enter the portals of another cycle of our being — one for which we were excellently prepared. The hardships that we underwent, the fun that we had. and the lasting friendships that we made will always dwell in our thoughts. A place in our heart w ill alw ays be reserved for our fond remem- brance of our days at the University of Maryland Pharmacy School. 22

Co-Chairmen The Class of 1965 discovered that the professional program presented here in Baltimore is quite dif- ferent from their pre-pharmacy training. They are no longer just a number in a large lecture hall but are recognized as Mister or Miss Student. To be- come better acquainted with one another several class parties were held. 24
