responsible for the voluminous notices which were sent to the papers but alas never printed. Martin Sloane was elected to edit the year book, the Alembic Pharmakon. After his regretted going, Jacob Bauer was chosen to carry on the work of presenting the record of the past years. Under the efficient leadership of these officers, we were able to enjoy a most successful school term, both in' social activity and scholastic endeavor. The basketball team, one of the best in the history of the college was coached very carefully by Joseph Kilcy. A much more difficult schedule was arranged by Manager Hayes and, as was expected, the team presented a very spirited showing against the aggregations with whom they were matched. The Freshman Hop, the Junior Prom and the Senior Dance, all provided a very welcome respite from the more serious affairs at the college. Beautiful girls, soft music, twinkling lights and the glories of the rainbow all helped to make these affairs of an unforgettable character. The dances following the games were the best ever, thanks to the exceptional music furnished by the college orchestra. Starting the year with a decided lack of material a fine dance band was developed much to the delight of the stu- dent body. Our bi-monthly publication, the Mortar and Pestle was published in a bigger and better form and now is firmly fixed as the official news bringer to the stu- dents. It must be impressed, however, in the minds of the student body that it was their paper and its success depends to the most part on its subscribers in the under classes, as well as in the senior group. An innovation at the school was the establishment of a model pharmacy on the ground floor. This practically perfect example of a modern store has been of unlimited value and interest to the student body as well as to alumni. Classes in practical store procedure arc held to acquaint the student with the principles to be taught only in the functioning pharmacy. Three of the happiest years of our lives have been spent here and our parting is a sweet sorrow; sorrow because of our farewell, sweet because of our realiza- tion of the dreams we have dreamed, the attainment of our goal. Our faculty symbolizes a mighty cataract which has been generating power for us for three years. How have we received that power ? Let our work be a reflection of their patient teaching. T.et us never dishonor our Alma Mater but always strive to uphold that dignity and prestige which she has carried so proudly for over half a century. Let us carry a deep affection in our hearts for our Alma Mater as long- as we shall the power to live, knowing that she and her faculty stand back of us, ready to nod approvingly as we go on adding to the long-standing record which has been so creditable.

Cla S i tetorp 1930 The beginning of the third decade of the Twentieth Century marks a new era in the life and history of the Albany College of Pharmacy. The Alumni, students and interested friends marvel at the extensive advances which have been made under the inspiring leadership of Dean Mansfield, who might well be called “The Mystery Man.” Faith seems to be the foundation of his schemes; and unbounded confidence in Pharmacy and Pharmacy’s friends and alumni, the guarantee of continued success for A. C. P. “Veni! Vidi! Vici! The call of triumph of the immortal Caesar may well be adapted as the slogan of the Class of ’30. At last we are done with what we call school days. Equipped now and capable, we hope, of carrying on in our work in the wider sphere of everyday life. Amid a popular confusion of thought and alluring artificiality of action, both pronounced and positive in this day, it will present no little problem for us. Late in September Pharmacy’s sons returned to her campus and felt the first throb of importance as they deigned to notice the green-capped “ frosh ” walking nervously and uncomprehendingly through the halls of the college. Soon the massive portals swung open and revealed the interior, a new, colorful setting in which we were to receive our final instruction. No longer need the aspiring bard or the clamoring orator be subdued and muffled in his lofty endeavors by the drabness and misery of darkened walls and dingy ceilings. Albany Pharmacy has come into its own and a feeling of welcome and goodfellowslnp glows from its quiet walls and spotless corridors. We pride ourselves on enjoying the benefits of this great institution. Our struggles and toils were lessened by the various activities, both social and athletic, which were interposed throughout our curriculum, and most welcome respites they were indeed. First came Field Day, followed closely by class elections which gave us an afternoon of fiery speeches, excitement, and political animosities, which were forgotten as soon as the results were known. Max Braunschweiger was reelected as President of our class and was again given the responsibilities of representing this class of '30. He had the cooperation of Lauren Hanmer the chosen of the Pli.C. Class. Margaret Aiossa and Elmer Oldroyd shared the office of Vice-President. Andrew Adams and Harry llonikel, those two gentlemen above reproach who assumed the honest man expression on election day, took care of the funds in a rather thorough manner. William Martin had the enviable luck to have Dorothy Sayers as his co-partner in recording the) affairs of the class in the minutes. Salvatore Durant and Jack Hurliehy, being men of sober judgment and sound mind, were elected to present a review of the class to the waiting public. A1 LePrell was Twenty-seven
