TRIP We knew it would eventually hap- pen: next day we were shipped to the farm. Jobs available for cow barbers and horse bleeders. Back on the train, a horn blowing ind noise maker party for Steve Botnick 3n his birthday. It was good to see the tall buildings of Chicago. The next day at Abbott Labs found us again awed by modem science. That evening the safari set forth through snow and sleet while Irwin and Ben stayed behind to build up pressure. Destination, the Burly Q. Once there, extra draft cards, drivers ' licenses and discharge papers were soon distributed (Al Konwaler-six foot three). But alas, there was a minimum . . . we left. A grand party in J.K. ' s room followed. Sight seeing and then back on the train. In the true Pharmacy 23-24 man- ner, under the supervision of Old Black Joe, hundreds of salami sandwiches and pickles were dispensed. That night we slept. Ah, what bliss. Some slept closer to heaven together with the baggage. At last Grand Central Station. OBSERVATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS: 1. A total of fifteen hours sleep and an average of ten pounds per person gained. 2. Lilly and Abbott are the tops in Pharmaceuticals and hospitalitv. 3. The C.U.C.P. profs, who joined us are really grand and 4. The class of ' 56 con- sists of a swell bunch of people. We had a wonderful time!
