In con- clusion, the former fifth year class wishes to thank the entire faculty, especially the gape, for the welcomed last effort to make Clinical Therapeutic Pharmacology Consultant Experts out of us — all 30 + of us on one (1) telephone located within a forty (40) thousand dollar doll- house. Special love and kisses to Miss Kider or is that Bitter, for her kindness and warm under- standing which made the third year a pleasurable experience. 21

at registration when Yorklius didn ' t pay for Thursday and bought an optional Tuesday plan. This year was the first year of the Kinnard Era as Dr. William Kinnard from Pitt arriyed on campus to put his finger in the leaky dyke. Oops — There is another hole Dr. Kinnard. Oops — another one. However, on the contrary, many people could not, nor still do not, see the dyke in the first place. Dr. Kinnard showed the stu- dents two new things: first, Blomster; and sec- ond, CLASS. Using the Kin nard style, he quickly became the class ' s favorite stand-up comedian. Assisting Dr. Kinnard in the Pharma- cology Department was Dr. Superman Blake, who energetically bounded into the classroom directly from the phone booth, wearing a large SB on his chest. While Dr. Blake taught the newer approaches to pharmacology, Dr. Ich presented the classical side of the course. During these classes many students exhibited blurred vision, a dry mouth and eye gymnastics — all signs of pharmaphylatic shock. The class was split into four areas of academic endeavors. Pre-graduate study for the masochist who enjoyed Physical Chemistry; Retail Phar- macy for those who enjoyed watching Dr. Leavitt eat his lunch; Hospital Pharmacy for those inter- ested in working for Reads; and, last but not least. Drug Abuse. This latter field, headed by Larry, Moe and Curley, did more for the good will of the school in the community than any other pharmaceutical organization during the last forty years. Indeed, if this crew could pass a chemistry test, there is no telling how far they could have gone. Gross did a lot of spreading of good will on his own, particularly in the East Baltimore Street area. The greatest example of brotherhood in the class is Block, who won a raffle but refused the prize, thereby letting Mike carry it off. That was real fraternal brotherhood. One of the highlights of the year was the Clinical Pharmacology Lab which gave the class a chance to exhibit its public speaking talents learned in Professional Communication. Coop pulled an unforgettable switch in presenting his paper — he fell asleep while reading it. The most dynamic and shortest presentation was Ack ' s, and only Kandcl was able to bring the class to its feet cheering. The class didn ' t really mind sitting four or five hours, since it was all so well presented, and besides, a visiting anesthesiologist taught them proper diction. The group had already learned to speak the Queen ' s English in CM. P. How much chemistry was absorbed is questionable, but one thing is certain, ever ' one can write a lot faster now. Clinical seemed to be the magic word this year, and if not clinical, then certainly expert. Combined, these two words titled the class ' s fa orite speakers — the Clinical Experts or affectionately C.E. ' s for short. Everyone is anxiously awaiting the class ' s 25 year reunion so they can get the C.E. graded test back. Law taught the class to use due caution when dealing with a lawyer and that laws are written for the Supreme Court to change. One of the strangest psychic phenomenon occurred during the fifth year. One of the stu- dents adopted the personality of one of the pro- fessors. He spent all his waking hours contem- plating Sorbo, Dream Whip, and sea weed. Often he spent hours melting waxes and pre- paring semisolid preparations having as many as 10 water baths going at the same time. His parents aren ' t too concerned, but they find the smell of alcohol around the house annoying. Next fall members of the class of ' 69 will not be returning to the ivy covered walls of 636 W. Lombard Street. Will the hallowed halls of Phar- maceutical education be the same without them? Kathy fainting in Seriology lab while having a blood sample taken; Filar (no matter the new name, always to be remembered as Filar) with the quick wrong answers in Dr. Lamy ' s class; noisy Elaine; Julie, soon to be the first woman president of People ' s; Bonnie, who studied 15 minutes before an exam; Pam, with short skirts and flashy bows; punctual Kleb; lovable Poklis; Henry ' s bald head; Besser jumping Ciba stock 3 points every night before an exam; Rock engag- ing the C.E. ' s in grassroots talk; Boiling, who learned the truth about the P.D.R.; Yorklius always bringing to class lively enthusiasm and 500 mg.7c mcthvlphcnidate blood levels, Guy the micro major; Jim and his mimeographed hand outs; Delcher, a future Clinical Expert; .Appcl who now will always take a chance; Lipov, scorned lover and public orator; Kanitxrki busy melting polarwax; G.L Joe taking notes while 20
