. Josnrn ELY DE LAFAYETTE, Ballston, N. Y. Marquis Ballston High School Alembic Caj ,loels favorite pastime is identifying drugs in Materia Medica. Oft-times, when half the class had failed on a drug, Joseph would come to the rescue and identify the drug in question. Soon after entering college ,loe received the nicknames of Marquis and Admiral, but the lirst seemed to be more popular and still clings to him. One day in class Joe was asked by the professor in charge if he was not related to General De Lafayette, but the Marquis quietly denied any knowledge of such relationship. Joseph Ely seems to be quite content with his lot as a Pharmacist, and we have the utmost confidence in his success. Where he will locate when he leaves college wc do not know, but we understand that there is a young lady at Ballston who will have to be consulted in that matter. lVe wish you luck, Joe, and hope you will always cherish a fond memory of the days spent at A. C. P. ARTHUR VINCENT ELLSWORTH, Glens Falls, N. Y. A Slim Glens Falls High School Here is one of Glens Falls' enterprising young citizens who has chosen to grapple with the problems of Pharmacy as his life work. Slim' is an earnest worker and always attends lectures and recitations. Now, don't for one instant imagine that Slim is a dead one, for that is far from true, and any of the boys will deny that fact emphatically. He is quite a pool shark and many are the stinging defeats he has indicted on some of the young cue artists of this institution. Art 3' is one of the few members of this class who can boast of being a Mason, and any- one who sees him cannot fail to see'his badge. Slim 'l is very much interested in a certain young lady from this city and we have good reasons to believe his intentions are serious. Good luck, olclPal. Mayjvour future years be marked by success and happiness in Pharmacy, Masonry and Mat- rimony. 37

ALEXANDER DEICHES, Albany, N. Y. .K-X1 H it Albany Academy Dutch 'I JAMES HENRY CUNNINGHAM, Warrensburg, N. Y. l c 9 ' Jimmy ' XVarrensburg High School Secretary CID NVhen James Henry blew into this world, 'way back in I8-, his mother looked on his shining countenance and said, James Henry, you for Pharmacy, and to A. C, P. Jimmy came in IQI4. He may look quiet, but, oh, my! Just get him started and you will see that the old adage, Still water runs deep, is still true. Although very much engrossed in Xkfarrensburg, he still likes the fair sex in Albany fairly well- yes, fairly well, as many can testify to. During his Junior year he never could reach school in time for the hrst class, and we are sorry to say he still clung to the bed of mornings in the Senior year, and slid into his seat while the prof's back was turned, hoping that roll had not yet been taken. Jimmy studies when he must and enjoys himself the rest of the time. He seems to have made a success of it, for he is grow- ing fat. Imagine it! Alembic C25 M Cap and Gown Committee C25 Here he is, boys, Dutch, the only and original, NVhen the Juniors lirst see him come in they are uncertain whether the president of the college has arrived or merely a senator dropped in to look over the college. As Al usually has his chauf- feur bring him to college, this helps the impression along. Look in at the Majestic some afternoon and you may see Al at the box office raking in the two-bit pieces and dazing the patrons with the bright rays of a two-carat diamond. Much credit is due UAV' Kin obtaining the ads for the Armirsic. 'Dutch is short and thick in stature, congenial and happy of nature and a very popular young man. Ladies can End him at present at No. 185 Delaware avenue, Albany, N. Y. 36 l l i i i i i

JACOB EPSTEIN. Albany, N. Y. if !! Albany High School In introducing this promising young Albanian we wish to state that neither Shakespeare nor Noah 'Webster can come anywhere near him when it comes to using big words, Iake's vocabulary of jaw breakers seems to be unlimited and when he starts explaining any of the deeper chemical and pharmaceutical problems you will have to get out your dictionaries and put in several hours of hard study, only to Find out that be is several lengths ahead of that publication. jake is a good little fellow for all that and always ready to help those unfortunates who are slow of com- prehension. No doubt about it, Jake 'l loves a drug store and is certain to make good. S0 drug store andgis certain to make good. So far we have not been able to learn any of his love affairs and so cannot make any statement as to his future except that he has the earnest wishes of the members of the Class of '16 for a bright and prosperous future. WILLIAM ALOISIUS GEARY, Troy, N. Y. U Wfillie Sawdust Wfill St. iPeter's Academy After completing his course in St. Petei-'s Academy at Troy, XVillie sat brooding over his future. As a result, he decided to take up Pharmacy as a profession, and so in the fall of 1914 he enrolled as a student in the Albany College of Pharmacy. His duties in that institution were many, but our f'lVillie, who is a good looking chap. had no affection for the ladies and there- fore conquered his duties without a mishap. Sawdust Wlill i' is at present employed in the Curtis drug store, and glories in boss- ing his fellow clerk, Beanpole Collins. Success to our XVillie. 38
