With the competent leadership ability of these officers, we were provided with a most successful school term, both in social activity and academic standing. Throughout the year our college and Fraternity dances, some formal, some informal, have been affairs compromising all the joys of gayety, splendor and romance. The best of orchestras, the most elaborate of settings, and atmosphere. Each one a wonderful time. Our college orchestra, an organization .long in existence at A.C.P., has proved that it is both a necessity and a luxury. We have greatly enjoyed their excellent music at the basketball games and dances. The Glee club, another musical organization of our students, has had a very successful year. The members themselves have spent many pleasant evenings together, and have provided harmonious entertainment for others at their con- certs. The newest addition to our already lengthy list of activities was in the form of a dramatic club. This was greeted with wholehearted support from the entire student body. So successful was it that it has gained a permanent place among our organization. During the year three plays were presented to the public. At the conclusion of each presentation sincere congratulations were offered the cast, each member of which performed like a professional. Introduced about the same time as the dramatic club was the debating society which soon gained great favor among the students. Each week discussions were held on topics of national and local importance. From time to time the discus- sion took the form of a debate, many interesting arguments being heard from the pros and cons. We must not forget to mention the crowning event of the year. The greatest step forward the student body has ever taken namely the publication of the “ Mortak and Pestle,” a bi-weekly organ dealing with life studies, studies, humor and sports at A.C.P. This publication has met with tremendous success and much credit is due its sponsors. During 1928 our various athletes have done much to place the Albany Col- lege of Pharmacy foremost among the colleges of its class. On the court our basketball team has kept our colors flying high. In the tank and on the cinder path our athletes have met and defeated the best of them. Now we find ourselves at the commencement. Commencement, symbolical of work already done, and work yet to be done. Soon we will have to leave the hall of old A.C.P. Leave our friends tried and true. Our professors who have guided us with friendship and patience and made us more able and qualified to meet the many obstacles of life. But we leave with all their pleasant memories entwining around our heartstrings to be recalled in future years as the happiest days of our life. Francis X. Evans, Historian Twenty-eight
