FASTLIP for the hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary:

FSH (follicle stimulating hormone)

ACTH (Adrenocorticotrophic hormone)

Seratonin (growth hormone)

TSH (Thyroid stimulating hormone)

LH (Lutenising hormone)

ICSH (Interstitial cell stimulating hormone)

Prolactin

Then you only have to remember that the posterior pituitary produces oxytocin and ADH (Anti-diuretic hormone)

And just for a reference point for the above and to jog some memories I thought the chart below of the cranial nerves and their corresponding function would be useful to have handy too.

#	Name	Major Functions:
I	Olfactory	Smell
II	Optic	Vision
II	Oculomotor	eyelid and eyeball movement
IV	Trochlear	innervates superior oblique turns eye downward and laterally
V	Trigeminal	chewing face & mouth touch & pain
VI	Abducens	turns eye laterally
VII	Facial	controls most facial expressions secretion of tears & saliva taste
VIII	Vestibulocochlear (auditory)	hearing equillibrium sensation
IX	Glossopharyngeal	taste senses carotid blood pressure
X	Vagus	senses aortic blood pressure slows heart rate stimulates digestive organs taste
XI	Spinal Accessory	controls trapezius & sternocleidomastoid controls swallowing movements
XII	Hypoglossal	controls tongue movements
