IQ17 (£laj 0 Ipateti At eight o’clock Monday evening. September 27th, 1915, we assembled for the first time in the Lecture Room. Here Dr. Tucker gave a talk on Pharmacy and Dr. Huested warned us against the temptations of the city- life. Dr. Dawes also gave a short talk and advised us to do as Dr. Tucker said. Tt was not until the second day that Miss Naurnoff arrived and it was to our sorrow that we learned that she was to be the only one of the fairer sex in our class. Soon we were busy with our studies and by November we got into the laboratories, where Dr. Tucker and Professor Larkin showed us how to use die blow-pipe and detect suspected cases of arsenic poisonings, where Pro- fessor Hutman showed us bow the U. S. P. preparations were put together and where Dr. Dawes endeavored to show us how a ray of light is bent in passing from a rarer to a denser medium. On November 19th we held our first class meeting and organized under Wensley as President; Barton, Vice-President; Galloway, Second Vice-President; Miss Naurnoff, Secretary, and Lindsay, Treasurer. Then came our midyear examinations. They were hard, but much to our surprise on returning from our Christmas vacation we found that nearly all the class had passed. On January 28th we entertained the Seniors with a dance at the Ten Eyck Hotel. The dance was said to have surpassed any given by former classes; for this, much credit is due the committee composed of Lossa, Hoff- man, Wright, Barton and Galloway. Time passed quickly and we were soon trying our final examinations. On April 15th we hid goodbye to our classmates, returned to our homes hoping soon to hear favorably from our examinations. O11 September 22d we were back to A. C. P. anxious to greet our old friends and to get back into our studies once more. This year we met two other members of the faculty, Professor Dillen- baek and Dr. Jenkins. The Professor lectured to us in that much dreaded subject, “ Senior Pharmacy ” and the Doctor showed us real microscopy. By this time we began to realize the necessity of good, hard studying, so we did nothing but “ dig ” until the midyear.

 On January 29th two big events took place, Professor Dillenback’s Pharmacy and the dance given by the Juniors. The dance was a grand success, many thanks to the Juniors. The examination was hard, but much to our joy nearly all of the class passed. The next week we selected Young as Valedictorian; Moses, Alternate Valedictorian; Wortley, Essayist, and Cloke, Alternate Essayist. Again we settled down and began to study for the finals, learning the definitions of the “ dried rhizomes and roots.” how the synthetic hydro- carbons are made, and how chemical assays arc made. G.
