were the cause of additional romantic riiis. One of our pharmacy courses, for example, was taught by Dr. Allen. For the first time in our pharmacy career we were allowed to type a prescription label the way they do it in com- munity pharmacies and even some drugstores. We also learned how to get A-OT and PEG into solution by the use of extreme heat, i.e., heating until just before the beaker starts to melt. Since this course was a very practical pharmacy course, our class loved it because, you see, it will help us, for example, topv with the tremendous difficulties and confusion that we will encounter, actually, when we get out on our own in this angry world known as the Baltimore metropolitan area, if you follow me, fella. Our fourth language course. Chemistry of Medicinal Products, taught by Dr. Elie Abu.sh- anab. was completely out of sight, especially the examinations. Now students, don ' t memo- rize stnictures for this exam but know every- thing about them. ' ha-a-a? Hut after Green Bay defeated Kansas City we were treated a lot better. From the student ' s point of view, the best part of the course was the laboratory. Professional Phannacy, under the guidance of Dr. Lam ' and Dr. Shangrau- with assistaTiee from Mr. Theodore Benya, Mr. Ilenr) ' Dere- wicz, Mr. Paul LeSage, and assorted graduate students was a composite course witli segments alloted to OTC products, hospital pharmacy, and manufacturing pharmacy. Barring an un- fortimate occurrence with group A-II, e er ' - thing in the course ran pretty much as pre- dicted by the previous class except that no amount of prompting could secnn to get any- one to prepare in ad ance for 300 drugs and their dosages. Pharmacology, spoon-fed to us by Dr. Casimir Ichnio ' ski and shovel-fed by Dr. Carl Driever, gave us the confidence to tell physicians that they don ' t know ho ' to prescribe correctly. Appropriately, Dr. Ichni- owski took the portion of the course dealing with CNS depressants and Dr. Driever pro- vided intemiittent CNS stimulation by giving us a notebook full of notes for each lecture. And who can forget our jovial lab instructors in Pharmacology who were a laugh a minute and kept us entertained on those long Friday afternoons. What a funny bunch of guys! On Monday and Thursday mornings we were cast under the spell of Mr. Joseph Kaufman who lectured to us in Phannaceutical Jurisprudence ( i.e., phannacy law for those ol us who did not attend his lectures). In the entire three years ot professional training he was the only instructor who called us ladies and gentlemen. (Maybe we ' re not as bad as vi ' thought. ) Dr. Slama ' s lectures in Entom- ology for Phannacists had exeryone bugeyed. The class was divided for elective courses. Most of the class took Phannacx ' Management and discovered that Mr. I eavitt had lost (or at least misplaced ) his principles; two bravely attempted to conquer the depths of Physical Chemistry with Dr. Ix-slie; and the remainder of the class reached for their security blankets when trying to determini ' what grade they had earned in Dr. Lamy ' s Hospital Phannacy Orientation. Before the semester had drawn to a close we had lost another classmate. Interestingly, in this ca.se, it was not to grades but, rather, to his being taken out of (tr)action. During the semester break we took an oxcrheated train- ride. Aside from the heat the only other inter- esting aspect of the ride to Indianapolis was the demonstration of gregariousness by SGA President Pat Trost. Our stay in that fair city was highlighti ' d by the feasts which our hosts, Eli Lilly and Compan -, pro ided. Many com- plained that the night lite in Indianapolis was non-existent but the key was in playing the right numbers. The winning numbers proved to be .317 and .322. On the return to Baltimore, someone finally found the off button for the heating system and we all delighted in the discovery of a new singing sensation and a sure smash hit, Cascara Sagrada. We got back to the Monumental City just in time to register and sign our checks for the second semester. Classes resumed the following day for the final act of our saga. The time is now upon us when we must bid adieu to the Uni versity of Maryland and our beloved School of Phannacv ' . While it may be with mixed emotions that we leave these halls for the last time as students, we shall ever strive to do justice to the invaluable education which we ha e here received. 25

Optimism was not our forte! Biochem which loomed before us as an impossible task, Pharmacy which was our bargain course where we received many more hours of education than we paid for. Market- ing, and Pharmacog were three credit courses with an academic sting, but Micro and its deities who resided on the lofty sixth floor of Mt. Olympus awaited us as the silent serpent. Before we had a chance to get started wading through our academic load, the Dean ' s Honor Convocation quickly recognized several members of our class for their achievements in scholastic and extracurricular activities of the third year. Herb Sohmer was acknowledged as academic leader of the Class of ' 68 closely followed by Leonard Howard, Patrick Welsh, John Ricci, Marty Wolff. Jack Barker. Joe Rolf and Charles Priller. ExtracuiTicular awards went to Jack Barker, John Ricci and John Balch. The Fall Frolic proved to be a shot in the Treasurer Thomas Dihnbehger Faculty Advisor Dr. Kenneth Euler arm for morale purposes. Coming at mid- semester and before the new ten-week defi- ciency slips, the Frolic featured a faculty dance contest and a close social fragrance for all in attendance. Through mid-November, the long weeks of December, and the eternal nights of January, the work load increased, class disposition hit an all-time low, and grades fell steadily. The semester ended with a long-anticipated Lilly trip. The eternal train ride to Indianapo- lis, complicated by cramped sleeping facilities and an overheated car were the only disap- pointments to an otherwise invaluable educa- tional journey. The train ride proved too much for some of the class members who took to the airways to return— a much recommended idea for the next trip. Second semester and halfway home. Things seemed to stabilize themselves and the overall class disposition started to rise again and will hit an all time high next June. The fourth year was quite an experience to have suffered through, but our predecessors have told us there is a reward in the future; that is, ' wait until next vear. ' 27
