Classi pistorp 1928 It was with a degree of anticipation and thoughts of a joyous and happy year ahead, that the class of 1928 returned to Albany to resume their studies, after the summer vacation. The beginning of this term marks a new era in the life and history of the Albany College of Pharmacy. The realization of a foreseeing dream. The cu I - ruination of years of untiring effort, by the men who have worked incessantly for the advancement, and development of Pharmacy. From its humble origin of a few rooms in the old medical college, our school has developed, sometimes perhaps under very adverse conditions, until we now have one of the most modern and best facilitated institutions of its kind in the country, with its wonderfully equipped laboratories, lecture and recitation rooms. With this environment of science, of development, and progress is it any wonder that we were glad to be hack, glad to see. our professors, and happy to renew old acquaintances? We, of course, hold happy memories in our hearts of the days spent at the old college. It was there that we gained friendships that have lasted through out our years in Albany, and which we hope will last for many years to come. “ Gainelh new friends, but keepeth old. One is Silver the other Gold.” But since we are the class that is beginning life over, as it were, with the college, we must consider ourselves a part of this new era. We must pride ourselves on enjoying the benefits of this mighty institution. Let us therefore review the many events we have enjoyed during the past year. The spirit of progress has, it seems, injected itself into the activities of the school both socially and athletically. What a vast difference has manifested itself over former years. College life is now enjoyed by every student. There is such a wide variety of activities that each and every student is able to find one to his liking. No one need sit on the sidelines. If one likes athletics there is the basket- ball team, swimming or track. I f one enjoys a milder sport there is the debating society or rifle team. For the girls we have the dramatic society or girls chorus. Everything possible has been done to make each and every student’s sojourn in Albany one to be associated with the happiest moments of life. Every class must have class officers, so one of the first events on our program was the class election, and this indeed was an event to be remembered. It proved to be a battle royal with plenty of opposition from each political faction. The first rousing cheer brought John Koziol to the foreground as president. C. Stewart Wallace and Michael Adclbcrg were chosen to share honors with him as First and Second Vice-Presidents. Miss Dorothy McGovern was elected to do the secretarial work. Abe Silverman was placed in charge of the Year Book as Editor. For its business manager Morris Edelschick was chosen. Twenty-seven
