Third Year Class Read mv friends and vou will sec our misadventures in Pharmacv. Twas a muggy day in earlv September, that started the dav we ' ll always remember. The students came from far and wide, even an Avicenna, we said with pride. The courses were hard and the stud ing rough, but we never let on that it was too tough. One by one, our forces dwindled until we numbered only forty-three. But we trudged through daily toil, and cjuickley learned to — study hard! It seems, we found that we had to learn every artery and every bone. By the time that this was done, it was time for The Practical to come. In Pharmacy we sweated and we toiled, only to find a surprise to hinder our leave. But on we marched and soon we came, after our Hong Kong flu to a new round of games. Parties tame, scarce but always fun, and when they were over one was always done! To politics we turned, and soon we found five willing people to stand our ground. On we trudged through Organic Chemistry, and little we remembered, although we did try. We started a program, or two or three, and soon found ourselves never free. To little brothers and sisters we wrote, and told them what to bring in tote. We met with them and showed them around, and promised to show them the ground rules. Again, we varied and tried as we could. to stay with our friends as thev worked where they could. Interyisitation is the name of our new game, even the ground rules are the same. To stores and hospitals three, we ' ll travel and we ' ll learn with only our friends to teach us in turn. Yet as the year did draw to a close, we did feel some remorse. To Dr. Ballman we gave a salute, and sent her flowers to pay her tribute. And as we did leave, we, the third year did say, please no more than two years make us stay. 24

Fourth Year Class With one foot solidly implanted in the door- way to success, the Class of 1970 set its sights upon the foreboding second year at the School of Pharmacy. After living through the flak of the first year ' s initiation courses and being of firm mind that pre-pharmacy was paradise, we began the longest eight months of our lives. Without a doubt, there isn ' t a course on this earth that could match the ineptness of Micro- biology. We began to wonder what we had done to deserve being placed in solitary confinement, on the sixth floor of the Dental-Pharmacy build- ing every Monday and Tuesday. Each week brought with it new knowledge such as: learn- ing that rabbits (not necessarilv furry ones either) have a distinct odor, that kissing bugs have a secret excretory system that no one is supposed to know about, that speed writing is a necessity for mycology lectures, and last but definitely not least, that some department heads suffer from an overpowering superiority complex. But even with its judgment day qualities, micro did not attain first place on our S list, that position was solely owned by Biochemistry. It soon became apparent that Biochem was meant to be a two semester course but that was of little consolation to us. Memorization of chem- ical structures turned into a nightly habit and it was amazing how fast one could forget even the simplest structures. We learned that amino acids were the staff of life but most of us could care less. And by the end of the semester, after four months of constant cramming, most of us would have been willing to pay taxes to Finland for a passing grade. However, the five credit void left by Bio was aptly filled by Physiology. We soon obtained our first exposure to written tests with a foreign accent, and we learned that school is not the sole cause of high blood pressure and that the ade- quate use of T4 can provide an enjoyable weekend. Yet our problems didn ' t stop here, for Phar- macy was lurking around the corner. It was sur- prising how often a fifty minute Pharmacy test could stretch into an hour and a half with little or no effort. And it was hard to imagine how one professor could devise so many questions from such a small amount of information. Next in line came Pharmacognosy, which has been apdy described as a weed in the middle of a rose patch. Under the capable supervision of a Bostonian horticultural expert in the field of cocktail trivia, the Fourth Year Class was atten- uated and pahty lysed by a continuous flow of structure-activity relationships. But even a dull year has its highlights as evi- denced by the stimulating lectures given in Marketing Administration by the noted profes- sor, expertise in the field of Insomnia. The answer was also found as to why long lab coats are a necessity in this profession. As the semester draws to a close, fifty-four plus one people gambled on the expectant arrival of our class mascot, and we are thankful that the fourth year is finally over — but we shudder to think what the new curriculum for next year has in store for us.
