But then there was good ole physiology. The lectures were terrific, Dr. Costello was really an artist, and the lab was interesting under the direction of Dr. Tab Hunter Fredricks. But, oh, those exams! Everyone knew all the an- swers, it was just figuring out those questions that was so hard. However, there were a couple of useful courses. One was First Aid, with Mr. Gregson, where we learned how to treat emergencies such as fainting spells caused by higli prescription prices; a typing course (alias Pharmacognosy) by Dr. Slama where it seemed as though we recopied the whole USP and NF in making up lab reports; and an average recuperation course conducted by our dear friend, Mr. Burbage, whose ad- vice of seeing the people, seeing the right people, etc., we will never forget. One real highlight of the year was our trip to Eli Lilly Company in Indianapolis. After a sixteen hour trip in an unheated coach we arrived fresh as elm bark in the midst of a wann spell (it was —5°). After two days of steaks, touring the plant and enjoying the lively night life of the town, we hurried back ( it was now — 12°) for registration. The second big event of the year was our annual class picnic which this year was held at John Donnelly s summer resort house which included among its assets a nine-hole baseball diamond. The Softball game became quite heated that day as AZO and Chuck Fleischer battled the now famous Phi Delta Chi Bombers. Some of the highlights were John Dailey ' s splintered thumb from pre-game practice. Bill Moores fantastic slide across a cinder block home plate to be tagged out, and Stan Tannebaum ' s exhibition of acrobatics as he fell into the first base pit. Much to our disbelief, the year finally ended and everyone looked toward the fifth and final year stariy eyed. The fifth year became the Year of the TreMENdous Relief. You see, most of us could see only one thing, for example, the end. This year held two pharmacy courses for us. One a professional triangle which rotated be- tween hospital pharmacy, manufacturing phar- macy and drug accessoiy items; and the other a course in how to utilize heat (1000-1500 ) in making pharmaceutical preparations, for example, by Dr. Allen. This latter world ' s record breaking course also taught us how to get into a foul mood when nosey customers start asking questions. Despite all of this, some students did get something out of the course. Chemistry of Medicinal Products turned into a way out course with Dr. Elie Abushanab. Half of the class prayed each day that Israel and Syria would not have any border scrimmages. Famous last words of the Chemistry Department were utilized by this instructor also, don ' t memorize structures, but if I name a compound I will expect you to know its structure. Mr. Kaufman, his blue shirts, his cheery good morning, ladies and gentlemen and his partner, Ronnie Schrieber, who knows less than Joe, who knows less than us, who jirob- ably know less than him, were unforgettable highlights in our law course. Pharmacology gave us an insight in how to counter prescribe. During the lectures. Dr. Ichniowski ' s arma- mentarium of magnificent dictum leads to an etiology of monotonomimetic, hypoconscious manifestations. However, a central stimulant was slipped in when Dr. Driever moved the lecture pace from 15 wph to 105 wpm. Other interesting coiuses were Pharmacy Manage- ment where we managed to avoid Mr. Leav- itt ' s topics for 29 out of .30 weeks; and Entomology, where we discovered how to fumigate a chicken house and catch flies on a string. Dr. Slama also tossed some of us such essential data as the pulse rate of the elephant and the rectal temperature of the camel in Animal Health. And Dr. Allen ' s cosmetics course proved to be a musk for others. But now, we have come to an end of an era. im sure everyone will agree that it was a rough, long, sometimes aggravating journey, but we all had one heck of a time doing it. There are memories here some of us will never forget. And now, we face our goal, the first of many for most. But with each one of us we take a part of the school, for each of us con- sists of a segment from each instructor. We represent their finished product and our ac- tions will always reflect back to them and our school. With both joy and sorrow, we bid thee farewell, Phannacy School, for we must pro- ceed ever forward to carry on your great tradition. 25
