In September, 1922, wc returned to the task, and our first experience was a communion with Nature with Dean Mansfield as the expounder of its secrets. Class elections were next in order, and though many rumors floated serenely through the indigo-colored atmosphere of the smoking room, the election was staged quietly. C. Howard Russell was chosen President; Joseph Welsh, Vice- President; Austin Peach, Second Vice-President; Alfred Smith, Treasurer; Margaret Ostrander, Secretary; Frances K. Rosenweig, Historian. Social events that have made history passed until we celebrated our second Christmas party, during which many appropriate gifts were exchanged, and later we found out the results of teaching some of our class Jurisprudence in a Mock Trial. After which we needed a vacation to recuperate. Junior Prom occupied our attention upon our return, and to be sure that it would he a success, we donated our presence. The Juniors are congratulated upon their success. • After this was over our minds dwelt longingly on that day that was so near and yet seemed so immeasurably far away, Graduation Day, when we would be known as “ Graduates in Pharmacy.” As such we greet you. « 14

Cl ass History In September, 1921, a heterogenous mass assembled for the first time in the. Lecture Hall. This conglomeration was to be known to the world as the Class of Twenty-Three, Albany College of Pharmacy. Early in October the first fusion toward a homogenous body was accom- plished by electing officers of the class. This was a friendly affair and the results were obtained with ease and dispatch. C. W. Fuhrer was unanimously chosen President, and the other offices were soon filled. Joseph Welch, Vice-President; Robert Bruce, Second Vice-President; Arthur Palmer, Treasurer; Miss Bernice Johnston, Secretary; Miss Margaret Ostrander, flistori i. These officers executed their duties in a commendable way, though at times some disagreed as to minor details. Classes, examinations and minor social events passed in rapid succession until we had the pleasure of our first Christmas party, which was held at the College. Gibson-Snow Company to welcome us as future Pharmacists, through the President of the Board of Trustees, gave us each a little token distributed by that genial character, so customary at this time, whom we were later to be intro- duced to as Professor Seneca S. Smith. Two Fraternities sprang up during the early part of the year and their mem- bers made merry with the two bodies then in existence. Lambda Kappa Sigma and Kappa Psi. About this time the Prom so near and dear to each Junior was being arranged. In February this notable event of the College year was carried out to perfection, as some of the. members would have it. A minor detail—school next day, seemed the only part out of harmony. The officers of the Year Book were chosen shortly after this: Ediior-in- Chief, James J. O’Leary; Business Manager, Charles W. Fuhrer; Advertising Manager, Peter Danzilo; Assistant Editor, Joseph V. Walsh; Treasurer, Arthur S. Palmer. Shortly after this Fuhrer resigned and Lazarus Weinstein was ap- pointed Business Manager. The social side was promulgated by the societies above named, and the Faculty was very generous in supplying the necessary amount of material so that class work was never dull or boresome. Finally that wonderful day when we met together as Juniors and separated as Seniors. 13
