RALPH WILSON, Dean , School of Pharmacy

Pharmacy.______:

The School of Pharmacy, estahlished at Northeast in 1956, is the only one provided at a Louisiana stnte institution of higher learning. Its rapid growth reflects a need to offer tra ining in thi s field.

Primary objective of the School of Pharmacy is to train stlldents to become pharmacists, to take their rightful place among other membel's of the health profession.

It is expected that the majority of the graduating student s will find employmen t in the retail field of endeavor, but mauy will become pharmacists in hospitals. Others will affiliate with pharo maceutical manufacturers as sales services representatives and in production. After continuing in advanced studies at graduate school, still others will become manufacturers, research workers, or teachers .

"Trackmen Win Honors"

To the Northeast State track team we offer con gratulations and say "Thank You ."

First, we wish to commend you on your fine show ing at the Gu If States Conference CrossCountry meet and other meets in which you competed last year. The record made was due to your determination alld great desire to win. The experts had you picked to finish fourth , hut you fini shed with a strong second ..

Next, we say "Thank you" for the presti ge you brought to our college. There was a time, long ago, when NOI1heast was noted fo r its track squads. Those early junior college days passed into legend. Then you came along with your winged feet, strong bodies, and willingness to train for high standards. The result means a return of prestige to what is now a senior institution.

So, with keen appreciation of your ability and eager ness to work, we say: "Congratulations, Coach Lewis Hartzog, and th e fine men you are training for track and Northeast."
