Games—races—refreshments—lots of good clean fun— and our class met under these pleasure-giving conditions. A great bunch—think they’d known one another for years. A great time had by all. Next day— registration—“Where do you come from? what nationality? and who cares?” “Did you find a room yet? let’s get one together.” Reception by a great man— Dean Mansfield. Noctures—quizzes—labs—class elections—dances—basketball games—bowling—baseball—-more quizzes—more lectures—final exams—and no more a freshman. September, 1930—“Hello Bill, glad toKsee you back. How did you enjoy your vacation?” “Great.” Wow, look at that mob of freshmen—up and at ’em boys. New subjects—Materia Medica—Macro—Posology—Histology. We miss Prof. O’Brien. Student Council, something new—Dean Mansfield, Chairman— representatives from all classes. A great organization—working for you and me. Junior Prom—what a dance! Greatest ever held in the school. Good work, Pete and Joe. Union Pharmacy—looks great—thanks to Prof. Hutman. Bowling— Tennis—Senior Ball—Fraternity Formats—Final Exams—so long, Juniors! September, 1931—Hello Seniors—on our last lap now—let's make it a big year. Class elections—Pete Sidlowski elected President—a gentleman—scholar. Morris Dafiner and Joe Waldo—First and Second Vice-President—two great fel- lows—true blue. Walt Geary—Treasurer—honest—capable. Bill Haber—Secre- tary—good judge of music. Bill Canfield—Representative to Student Council— politician—leader. Sal Guida—Class Reporter—our Walter Winchell. More new subjects—Toxicology—Organic Chem.—Prof. O’Brien back with us again. Harry Allan—coaching a great basketball team—Avnet, Rafferty, Kazcl, Virgil, Boynton, Milhnan. Dancing after games—good music—beautiful girls. Kay Martin and Lorna Clafiin—two modest girls—good sports—good students. Prof. Squires—our pal—coaching baseball team—great fellow. Freshman Hop— Junior Prom—Senior Ball—soft lights—soft music-—beautiful girls—ah, don’t wake me up, let me dream. Library started—great thing—needed one—we’ll all be back to see it. Mortar and Pestle—greatest ever—nice work, “Walt” and “Moe.” Bowling team—oh boy, what a team!—Caramadre—Guida—Cavaiola— Waldo—Lortie—Dardano—Schmuckler—CHAMPIONS OF ’32. Science Club organized—thanks to Jack Harford. Fraternity Formals—Spring Dances—Final Exams—Finis. As we are aroused from this pleasant and fleeting dream we become con- scious of our surroundings. We look back on those three happy years of com- panionship and true friendship. We owe the Faculty our sincere thanks for taking an active part in this human drama. We shall strive to maintain those ideals preached by you in real life. Sal Guida, Historian t Twenty-five Jfarehjell I could turn very eloquent, But I’ll only say a word or two To show that I appreciate And that you’ve earned my gratitude. How can I thank my teachers? And my professors too? They’ve done so much for my own good. It was they who put me through. I’ll remember, always their kind help, How they prepared us with their knowledge; They studied with us, and played some too, But then that’s the way—in college. I’ll miss you all, I know that well, After what we’ve been through together, I’ll miss my books and college fun, Those ties cannot be severed. I’ll do justice to my college years, I’ll work hard till I succeed, My one regret is that the years are done But my knowledge shall be my creed. But all good things come to an end And my heart aches to leave For my school has come to be my friend And inwardly I grieve. This old school I’ve called my home, My teachers were my brothers, The boys in class have been my pals, Now I must leave them for others. All I can say is a fond farewell. What shall the next line be? But good luck, God bless you, and as I go I leave a tear drop behind me. Sac Guida, ’32 Twenty-six !o] ALEMBIC PHARAAKON Paul A. Audet “Frenchy,” “Blackie” Cohoes, New York Tennis (2, 3), Baseball, Handball. “Ah, happy years! Once more, Who would not be a boy?” “Frenchy” thought it fit to take up pharmacy after graduating from Joliette College in Canada. One is in- clined to believe that the reason for the change is a certain blonde nurse at the Albany Hospital. George E. Auger “Speed,” “Doc” Cohoes, New York Handball, Cross Country (1), Baseball. “Example is always more Efficacious than precept.” Here is a youngster whose speed mania is in perfect accordance with the proverbial Tempus Fugit. How- ever, “Speed changes to a turtle gait when confronted with Botanical Origins. Hyman Avnet “I-Ty” Kingston, New York Basketball (1, 2, 3), Baseball, Captain Track (1, 2), Cross Country. “Silence is deep as Eternity, Speech is shallow as Time.” “Hy,” a silent, meek, unassuming son of Kingston, is one of our outstanding basketball stars as well as a backgammon fan. Twenty-seven James L. Battaglia “Jim” Fredonia, New York Bowling, Orchestra, Swimming, Baseball. “Youth thinks itself the goal of each old life.” “Jim” came to finish his pharmaceutical career from Buffalo U. In the short time of one year, “Jim” has won many friends with that ready smile. Arlington P. Boigeol “Art” Endicott, New York Dramatic Club (1), First Vice-Pres. Ph.C. (1), Fresh- man Hop Committee. “Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.” This modest young man hails from “Shoeville.” No pessimistic inclinations in that round, sunny smile, which is as welcome as the dismissal bell. Charles J. Boynton “Jack” Syracuse, New York Basketball (1, 2, 3). “ ’Tis not what man docs that exalts him, but what men do.” His irresistible vim and vigor and that toddle takes ’em all by storm. His fine work on the court will be a lasting memory to his many fans. T menty-eight 0 I ALEMBIC PHARMAKON Henry C. Buhrm aster “Hank,” “Slim” Scotia, New York Handball, Baseball, Cross Country (1). “Force 5s of brutes, but honor is of man.” Hank.’ hails from the great metropolis of Scotia on the Mohawk. To him goes the honor of introducing the A. C. P. shuffle. Daddy Long Legs in person. � Charles M. Callahan “Cal” Frankfort, New York Handball, Orchestra, Baseball. “A friend may well be reckoned as a masterpiece of Nature.” “Cal’s” melodious voice reminds us of the Ivory Soap ad—“99 44 100% pure.” Few of us will ever forget those pleasant and innocent Frosh days when “Cal” led into the high “C’s.” Willard Canfield, 4 AX “Bill” Gloversville, New York Basketball (1), Class Historian (1), Rifle Team, Handball, Student Council (3), Baseball, Tennis. “Character calls forth character.” Our Glove City representative has that detached air and contagious smile, both irresistible. “Bill” is a nat- ural leader of men. Robert Cangiano, t AX “Pinkey, Bob Schenectady, New York Art Editor Alembic Pharmakon, Baseball. “Art is the right hand of Nature.” His artist’s soul gives true appreciation of natural beauty. Whether it be Bacchus’ grape or Mary’s ankle, his choice is impeachable. Thomas Caramadre Tommy Utica, New York Orchestra (1, 2, 3), Bowling, Handball. “Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast, To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.” Behind that Herculean frame dwells the gentle “Tommy,” so well familiar to our musical enthusiasts. This combination of maestro and athlete is invincible, to say the least. . Pascal J. Cavaiola Tarzan, “Sooky” Utica, New York Bowling, Advertising Boards Alembic Pharmakon, Mortar and Pestle, Senior Ball Committee. “Backward, turn backward, O Time in your flight! Make me a child again, just for tonight.” And here dear reader is A. C. P.’s master pharmacist. In addition to that proud title. Pat enjoys the reputa- tion of being the class comedian. Thirty - cl ALEMBIC PHARAAKON Pasquale Cinelli “Pat” Schenectady, New York Track (1), Tennis, Baseball, Handball. ‘‘Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity, And truth accomplishes no victories without it.1' As a story teller, “Pat” has yet to be duplicated. fis favorite song, “Sweet Jenny.” His unusual memory, a great asset in pharmacy. Lorn A E. Claflin, AK2 “Lorna” Rensselaer, New York Dramatic Club (1), Sec. Ph.C. (2), Sec. Lambda Kappa Sigma (3), Freshman Hop Committee, Junior Prom Committee, Senior Ball Committee. “ Tis better to have loved and lost, Than never to have loved at all.” Like our famous movie actresses, “Lorna” would walk to Rensselaer for a Camel, but a Lucky does in a pinch. Nathan IT. Cohen VMurph,” “Nate” Albany, New York Tennis, Baseball, Track. “Laugh where we must, be candid where wc can.” “Nate aspires to a career in grand opera and we are of the firm belief that he will succeed in playing a clown’s role. Thirty-one © ALEMBIC PHARAAKON Joseph F. Collins, I AX “Red, “Doc” Watertown, ('onnectici.it Dramatics, Student Council (1, 2), President Ph.C. (1, 2), Asst. Editor At.fmbtc Ph akmakon, Junior Prom Committee, Senior Ball Committee, Inner Guard Phi Delta Chi. ‘'But words are things, and a small drop of ink. Makes thousands, perhaps millions think.” “Red ' one of the busiest beings on the campus is never too busy to help a less fortunate scholastic brother. His abilitiesftvarv from soap box orator to chemist and mathematician. Lester G. Collins, K k “Sammy, “Lcs” Gom-erncur, New York Basketball, Bowling. A laugh is worth a hundred groans in any market.” “Lcs” does not claim to he a social lion, but he is a most likeable fellow, with a heart of gold and a level head which will carry him far in his chosen field. M. Medford Cooper, 3 AX “Coop Upper Jay, New York Dramatics, Epsilon Phi Chaplain, Class Trcas. (2), Phi Delta Chi Treas. (3). “God moves in a mysterious way Ilis wonders to perform.” “Minor” is one of the most conscientious, hard work- ing members of the class. This, coupled with his natural ability should lead to his earning a niche in the hall of fame. I Thirty-two Morris M. Daffner, I’ll “Moe,” “Red” Schenectady, New York Editor-in-Chief Alembic Pharmakon, Asst. Editor Mortar and Pestle (2), Associate Editor Mortar and Pestle (3), Class First Vice-Pres. (2, 3), Historian Rho Pi Phi (2), Chancellor Rho Pi Phi (3), Junior Prom Committee, Senior Ball Committee, Cross Coun- try (1). “A man never shows his own character so plainly as by his manner of portraying another’s.” Loves to debate for the sake of argument. He is at his best in writing. Hail to this master of the pen and thrower of the bull! Nicholas S. Dardano “Nick,” “Bucky” Utica, New York Bowling, Ad. Board Alembic Pharmakon, Handball, Swimming, Track (1). “Little deeds of kindness, little words of love Help to make earth happy like the heaven above.” “Nick” is a mild and harmless youth as the Utica police will testify. His pranks in the labs are too numer- ous to mention. Leo C. Dygert, 4 AX “Leo,” “Stretch” St. Johnsville, New York Treasurer Ph.C. (1), Asst. Mgr. Tennis (1), Mgr. Tennis (2), Asst. Mgr. Basketball (2), Adv. Board Mortar and Pestle, Worthy Prelate Phi Delta Chi. “To err is human, to forgive, divine.” “ho,” the “coatless,” is a well known figure to all of us. With the exception of studies, Leo’s favorite recrea- tion is to swing a wicked racquet on the court. He does both in becoming style. Thirty-three ALEMBIC PHARAAKON Daniel A. Fling “Senator ’ “Dan” Binghamton, New York Freshman Hop Committee, Junior Prom Committee, Handball. “I love everything that’s old: old friends, old times, old manners, old books, old wine.” “Senator Fling” will long be remembered lor his quiet unassuming dignity. Don’t rush girls, the line forms to tlK right. Meyer Gaes “Mike” Watervliet, New York Handball, Swimming. “Yes, love indeed is from heaven.” To say that “Mike' ’ abhors the ladies is only putting it mildly. To balance that, however, here is a man who will gladly help you out in a lab report. Walter D. Geary, 3 AX “Doc.” “Walt” Troy, New York Editor-in-Chief Mortar and Pestle (3), Asst. Editor Mortar and Pestle (2), Phi Delta Chi Correspondent, ('lass Treas. (3), Senior Ball Committee. “The pen is mightier than the sword.” Meet the most practical man of A. C. P. “Walt” wields a mighty big pen for his stature. A favorite among the Literati and a poor poker player. Bex S. Gergjs “Benzoin” Utica, New York Indoor Sports. “Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them.” In spite of a severe handicap in language “Ben” 1ms accomplished what seemed the impossible. Perhaps his seriousness is due in a large measure to his “ philosophy of life.” e Abram Glockner, pn l “Chappie,” “Abe” Albany, New York Fiery Dragon Rho Pi Phi, Advertising Staff Mortar and Pestle, Tennis, Handball. “Knowledge is more than equivalent to force.” Behind “Abe's” grim visage is masked the finesse of a man-about-town. His varied “theories” are as simple as Prof. Einstein’s. S. Selig Gourson “Sikie,” “Skippy” New Britain, Connecticut Associate Humor Editor Alembic Pharmakon. “True wit is Nature to advantage dress’d.” “Zelig’s” humor would drive Mr. Volstead to drink. The girls just can't keep their hands off his curly locks. Truly, a chaser of gloom. Thirty-five Salvatore F. Guida, $AX “Sal” New York City Baseball, Asst. Mgr. Bowling (2), Mgr. Bowling (3), Rifle Team, Mortar and Pestle, Photography Editor Alembic Pharmakon, ‘Orchestra, Class Historian (3), Swimming. “Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.” Poet, nwisician, and expounder of the latest of the Great White Way gossip. Sal” is reputed to be the best well-dressed student on University Heights. William Haber, PII I “Banjo Bill” Poughkeepsie, New York Vice Chancellor Rho Pi Phi (3), Orchestra (1, 2, 3), Leader (2, 3), Asst. Literary Editor Alembic Phar- makon, Junior Prom Committee, Senior Ball Commit- tee, Swimming, Class Sec. “Such sw'eet compulsion doth in music lie.” “Banjo Bill” needs no introduction in Albany. A strange combination of musician, philosopher and good fellow. Ecce homo, literally, “What a man.” Jack C. R. Harford “Cousin” Middletown, New York Sec. Alembic Pharmakon, Exchange Editor Mortar and Pestle, Class Historian (2), Dramatic Club, Senior Ball Committee. “Modesty seldom resides in a breast that is not enriched with nobler virtues.” Jack’s winning smile, blonde hair and Sphinx-like quiet- ness undoubtedly account for his class prominence. An excellent secretary and friend in this Middletowner” personality. ALEMBIC PHARMAKON Raymond Hill “Ray” Greenwich, New York Junior Prom Committee, Senior Ball Committee. “When beauty fires the blood, how love exalts the mind !” Ray takes life seriously, including women. His com- bined knowledge of Organic Chemistry and dead lan- guages is bound to be an asset in his future work of healing the well. Ernest R. Jackson “Jack,” “Ernie” Waterville, New York Second Vice-Prcs. Junior Class (2), Senior Ball Com- mittee. “Mind is the great lever of all things.” “What a nice clean boy 1” you say. Well, why shouldn't he be clean? Look where he hails from. You ought to see him do the “strut” at the socials. And still they wonder why girls leave home! Carl L. Heldmann, K'J' “Smiley” Syracuse, New York Regent Kappa Psi. “In the spring a young man’s fancy Lightly turns to thoughts of . . And who belongs to this smiling countenance, you ask ? None other than “Carl.” His only fault is his worship of Morpheus in classes. Thirty-seven Alex A. Kazkl Solvay, New York Basketball, Baseball. “Sweet is pleasure after pain. ’ “Casey” came to Albany from the wilds of Solvay a young and innocent youth. However, three years at A. C. P. have taught him much of the ways of the world. ; ■■■'- George Ladd “Laddie” Syracuse, New York Handball, Baseball. “The world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those who feel.” George is one of those good-natured, irresistible fel- lows who takes life as it comes and lets the rest of the world go by. To wish him success is superfluous— we concede it to him. Maxwell Larkin “Max” Brewston, New York Ad. Board Mortar and Pestle, Ad. Board Alkmbfc Pharmakon. “Woman’s at best a contradiction still.” “Max” came to us as a veteran of the Buffalo U. Legion. A great deal of his time is devoted to sitting by the telephone waiting to fix up a date with some pleasant voiced young lady. Thirty-eight Louis Levinson, PI1 $ “Lew” Albany, New York Scribe Rho Pi Phi (2), Swimming, Rifle Team, Ten- nis, Asst. Mgr. Rifle Team. “Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man.” Behold an incorrigible optimist! In spite of argument, in spite of fact, in spite of everything, “Lew” really believes that life is worth living. Joseph R. Loro “Joe,” “Wolf” Schenectady, New York Rifle Team, Vice-Pres. Ph.C. Class (1), Tennis Team. “Truth is always stranger than fiction.” His technique on the Albany-Schenectady buses is as unique as it is original. “Joe” has very decided views as to what constitutes “nice girls” and his patronage is much in demand. Lionel H. Lortie “Lee Ludlow, Massachusetts Bowling, Rifle Team, Baseball, Ad. Board Alembic Pharmakon. “They also serve who only stand and wait.” The “flying pharmacist,” a very appropriate synonym for this dashing youngster. When making a ’chute jump “Lee” merely repeats the words Caulophvllum Thalictroides ten times, and he manages to land safely. Thirty-trine ALEMBIC PHARAAKON James E. McBride “Mac” Oswego, New York Basketball (1, 2), Handball. “ ’Tis safest in matrimony to begin with a little aversion.” ‘ Mac” has a wonderful “phone personality.” In fact, the feminine voice can scarcely get in a, word, so rapid in his storm of wit, humor, sarcasm, or sweet nothings. Kathleen E. Martin, AK2 “Kate,” “O Kay!” Port Henry, New York Dramatics, Sec. Class (2), Pres. Lambda Kappa Sigma (3), Freshman Hop Committee, Junior Prom Committee, Senior Ball Committee. “Earth’s noblest thing—a woman perfected.” In addition to rating “aces high” scholastically, “Kate” has lended that necessary “feminine touch” to all of our social affairs. How she is able to keep up with her studies and maintain such a formidable array of activi- ties, is one of the present day mysteries. Frank A. Miller, K 1 “Milley” Rochester, New York Dramatics, Bowling, Swimming. “I love not man the less, but Nature more.” Frank’s particular passion is a weakness for bed in the morning—not an individual trait at A. C. P. Forty ALEMBIC PHARAAKON Jack Mill man “Lefty, “Mimi Hudson, New York Basketball, Handball. Lefty's “Duplex” ways and “Every-ready” smile cut deep into the hearts of his many friends, and make him a “Gem” wherever he goes. Thomas J. Noonan “Doc, “Tom Cohoes, New York Sec. Class (1), Literary Editor Alf.mbtc Pharmakon, Freshman Hop Committee, Junior Prom Committee. “Politeness is to human nature what warmth is to wax.” “Tom” is a striking example of efficiency and genius combined. His outstanding fault being the vamping of women who do not speak Bohemian or Latin. Such are the ways of the versatile! Joseph A. Padula, 4 AX “Paddy, “Joe Albany, New York Sec. Alembic Pharmakon, Senior Ball Committee. “All mankind loves a lover.” “J. P.’s” greatest criticism lies in his idiosyncrasy for the cider barrel and high powered cars. Joe is working hard to perfect a tie that will not fly off at unpro- pitious moments. Forty-otie 'cj ALEMBIC PHARMAKON Louis A. Ritz “Lou,” “Dutch” Syracuse, New York Vice-Pres. Class (1), Freshman Hop Committee, Junior Prom Committee. “Charm strikes the sight but merit wins the soul.” ‘fUnd so weiter Lou is a chemistry shark and no wonder—the Kaiser’s pal. Evidently Lou studied, f ?r he lost a few hairs in his stay at Albany. George I. Schmuckler, PII4 “Greg,” “Colonel” Ilurleyville, New York Bowling, Swimming, Guardian of the Exchequer Rho Pi Phi. “Friendship is Love without his wings.” “George” is a bear at deriving complicated formulae and telling a prof why he shouldn’t use the ones in the book. The pocket edition of the Eiffel Tower best de- scribes him. Peter G. Sidlowski, 1 AX “Pete,” “Sid” Amsterdam, New York Freshman Hop Committee, Chairman Junior Prom, Chairman Senior Ball, Student Council (2, 3), Class President (2, 3), Phi Delta Chi Sec. “There is no path so steep as that of fame.” Still water runs deep, they say. “Pete” lives up to the old saying all right. Some say that he’s a good one-handed driver. We wonder why? Forty-three 'oj ALEMBIC PHARMAKON Donald F. Thompson “Tommy,” “Don” Liberty, New York Class Pres. (1), Junior Prom Committee, Senior Ball Committee. “None but the brave deserve the fair.” “Don's” stock of witty retorts and “wise cracks” is little short of phenomenal. He can manage anything but women. JBut then, who can? William G.

Zguris Fifty-one The Junior Class _ Sumor Class Historp As I sit by the fireside, musing and conjuring over the facts of bygone days, there comes to mind, a story, which in my estimation never ends. It is the story of a body of mortals, destined in later years, to be known to the professional world as “Pharmacists.” It is the story of the Class of 1933, Albany College of Pharmacy. As membrances pass on, there comes to view, the first episode of the story, the Class of 1933 as Freshmen. Tl was a trying year, that year of 1930-31, trying in more ways than one. First, there were the exams. How hard it was to accustom one’s self to those quarterly tests. Nevertheless, trying as it was, the class pushed on under the leadership of a very capable fellow-student, one Alfred Wright by name, who was elected as President of the Freshman Class of 1933. Those elected to assist him in his task were: William Donahue, First Vice-President; Henry Osterhout, Second Vice- President; Marcelle Ostiguy, Secretary; Arthur Roberts, Treasurer; Loretta Flavin, Historian, and Edward Trainor, member of the Student Council. The first great social event of the year for the new class was the “Freshman Hop.” This affair turned out to be a tremendous success, being enjoyed not only by the Freshmen, but also by the Upperclassmen and Faculty as well. Time goes on. The end of the first episode of the story appears in the form of the final exams. These however, prove disastrous to a very limited number and the once lowly Freshmen now become Juniors and Upperclassmen. As the second episode begins to unfold, the Class of 1933, now Juniors, under the leadership of William Donahue as President, with the able assistance of Henry Osterhout, First Vice-President; Stanley Paupst, second Vice-President; Marcelle Ostiguy, Secretary; Charles Damian, Treasurer; Harry Waring, Class Historian, and James Hoose as representative of the Student Council, take up the duties of Upperclassmen. Again there are those quarterly exams, but now, they are not the bugaboo of former days. The social events of the year were all grand successes, the “Junior Prom” as ever holding the spotlight. What a dance the Class of ’33 put over. It was enjoyed by all, from the viewpoint of an onlooker and the comments heard about it. The class as a whole wish to express their wholehearted gratitude to the Faculty for the cooperation received from them during the first two episodes of their history and also to wish the success of the graduating Senior Class as a whole and individually. Thus the second episode of the story draws to a close and the Class of 1933 gaze hopefully at the horizon at the edge of which begins the third episode of the story, an episode which, though in its ending, may mark the end of the story insofar as preparation is concerned, begins the final and unending episode in the lives of those who have been destined to be members of the Class of 1933.

These individuals very quickly adapted and adjusted themselves to their new environment and assumed their position in college life and activities. Friendship and comradeship were the by-words and as a result the organization of the Fresh- man class was rapid and complete. After the completion of the first quarter the initial class meeting and election was held with that august person, Curtis Brandy, as chairman. Competition was keen and many nominated lost only by one or two votes. However, under the watchful eye of our Mr. Brandy the balloting was duly carried to completion with the following class officers elected: Phillip J. Collela, President; L. R. Eldred, First Vice-President; Bert Crain, Second Vice-President; Robert Nor- ton, Secretary; David Daffner, Treasurer; Richard M. Cohen. Historian; and lastly R. Smith as our member to the Student Council. Well can we remember those abject days and nights of suddenly inspired concentration and study; and the fateful hour when we learned our quarterly marks and recall that we were consoled only by seeing that the other classes’ cards were as patriotic in color as ours. The night of January eighth was the gala night of the Freshman year. With bunting flying and melodious syncopation the Freshman Hop was replete with verve and spirit. Many of us will remember this dance as one of the outstanding pleasant memories of our Freshman year. Much credit is due those who so suc- cessfully arranged this affair. The class of 1934 has endeavored at all times to cooperate with the faculty and other classes. We have been glad to contribute some men who have been worthy of association with the varsity. Our class has been very fortunate in being able to fully avail itself to the advantages of the newly formed Science Club, the organization of which we are deeply indebted to our upperclassmates. Our activities here have been pleasant; we have formed friendships, and it is with a certain satisfaction that we, in our retrospection, can remember our Freshman year with a great deal of enjoyment as the first step of our pharma- ceutical training. Richard M. Cohen, Historian Fifty-nine [01 ALEMBIC PHARMAKON FRESHMEN ON PARADE Fresh from the cities and towns they come. Ready for studies and ready for fun, Each and every one of them timid Scared that the Seniors will give them the limit; Happy to i e in college at last. Many wishing the first year was past. Even the freshest of Freshmen look green, Never to flunk is their constant dream. On they march to higher knowledge, No shirking duty in this man’s college.

Ending we say, “Give the Freshmen a cheer!” Sal Guiua, ’32 to] ALEMBIC PHARMAKON iltstorp an ®ebelopnmtt of tf)t ltmnp College of $fjarmacp The idea of organizing a College of Pharmacy originated with Mr. Archibald McClure, head of the firm of A. McClure and Co., wholesale druggists, Albany. He, with the assistance of Dr. Willis G. Tucker and Mr. Gustavus Michaelis, and Mr. Charles Gibson of his firm, called a meeting on November 18, 1878 of the pharmacists of the City to consider the advisability of forming a pharmaceutical association with the view to establishing a school of pharmacy, to be conducted by the association. At this meeting a committee was appointed to prepare a plan for organization. Owing to lack of interest no further steps were taken to secure the organization of a school of pharmacy by Albany pharmacists. In the fall of 1880 Dr. Willis G. Tucker, Mr. Gustavus Michaelis, Mr. Archibald McClure, Dr. Jacob S. Mosher and Mr. Joseph W. Russell met and decided that a better plan of organization than that previously proposed, would be to establish a department of pharmacy in Union University. A plan of organization was drawn up by Dr. Tucker, approved by the others, and presented by them to Dr. E. N. Potter, then president of the Univer- sity. He approved of the project and presented it to the Board of Governors of the University. At the annual meeting of this board held June 21, 1881, the Albany College of Pharmacy was created to constitute the Department of Pharmacy of Union University. A board of trustees was immediately appointed and the school incorporated as The Albany College of Pharmacy in conformity with the laws of the State of New York, August 27, 1881. The first faculty consisted of Dr. Jacob S. Mosher, President of the Faculty and Professor of Botany and Materia Medica; Dr. Willis G. Tucker, Secretary of the Faculty and Professor of Chemistry, and Mr. Gustavus Michaelis, Pro- fessor of Pharmacy. The first lecture was given on October 3, 1881. The lecture room and laboratories of the medical college were used for purposes of instruction. In 1881 and for several years subsequent to that date four subjects only were taught namely—Botany, Materia Medica, Pharmacy and Chemistry. The course was of twenty-one weeks duration. Juniors attended five hours a week for twenty-one weeks, a total of 105 hours. Seniors attended three hours Sixty-one . a week for twenty-one weeks, or a total of 63 hours. In the two year course a total of 168' hours of lecture and laboratory work was given. Owing to the death of Dr. Jacob S. Mosher in August, 1883, Dr. Alfred B. Huested was appointed Professor of Botany and Materia Medica and Dr. Tucker became president and dean of the faculty. No important change occurred in the professorships until 1903 when Professor Michaelis resigned the active professorship and Mr. Garret V. Dill inbeck was appointed associate professor of the department. After this date there were numerous changes in the faculty. Of special interest, however, was the appointment of Edwin C. Hillman in 1903 as Director of the Pharmaceutical Laboratory and his later appointment in 1918 as Professor of the Theory and Practice of Pharmacy, also the appointment of William A. Larkin in 1906 as Instructor in Physics and his appointment in 1920 as Professor of Chemistry. Mr. Joseph W. Russell was elected president in 1881 and served until 1899. In 1890 the first Pharmacy Laboratory course opened in a loft on Beaver Street opposite the Knickerbocker Press building. Attendance was compulsory on Thursday and Friday from 2 to 5 P. M. for a period of ten weeks. In the Fall of 1893 the College acquired a new pharmacy laboratory in the loft of the Van Heusen Charles building on Broadway. A reading room was provided for day students and a Pharmacognosy Laboratory was in use for the first time. In 1895 a two hour course in Practical Microscopy was given for the first time by Dr. MacFarlane to the Senior Class during a period of ten weeks. Half hour recitation periods became compulsory at this time. William J. Walker, senior partner in the firm of Walker and Gibson, whole- sale druggists, was elected president of the Board of Trustees in 1899. He served until 1904. ITe died May 10, 1904. In 1899 the Pharmacy Laboratory was moved to the top floor of the building on the corner of Maiden lane and North Pearl Street. In 1902 Physics and Pharmaceutical Mathematics were added to the course. In 1903 the Faculty conducted recitations for candidates preparing for the State Board Examinations. In 1904 a State Law was enacted requiring all candidates for State Board examinations to be graduates of a College of Pharmacy. In 1905 the State Law required matriculants in colleges of pharmacy to secure a Pharmacy Student’s Qualifying Certificate based upon the completion of one year of high school or the equivalent of twelve Regents’ counts, in 1906 Growth of the College under its Presidents Mr. Charles Newman was elected president in 1904 and he served until 1916. Sixty-two ALEMBIC PHARAAKON the entrance requirements were increased to fifteen counts. In 1907 toxicology was added to the course and in the following year physiology and Latin were added. In 1909 the Pharmacy Laboratory moved from Maiden Lane to Howard Street. In the following year the Pharmacy Laboratory was moved to Eagle Street. In 1911 a Senior Chemistry Laboratory was established in our present quarters. In 1915 the Junior Qualitative Laboratory was moved from the Medical College to Eagle Street. From that date to June 1927 all the work was done in the old college building on Eagle Street. Mr. Charles Gibson was. elected president of the Albany College of Pharmacy in 1916. His knowledge of all branches of the drug business and his active interest in educational work eminently fitted him to become president of the board of trustees. Under his leadership, in 1918, Dr. William Mansfield, the present dean, was appointed and the college reorganized, the faculty increased, new courses of study provided, the hours of study lengthened and more class rooms and new laboratory equipment added. All these changes were timely and necessary to meet the constant growing need of better educated and better practically trained pharmacists. The wisdom, of these changes is shown by the rapidly increasing numbers of students who have taken advantage of the facilities offered at the Albany College of Pharmacy for those desiring a sound pharmaceutical training. The educational policy of the Albany College of Pharmacy was changed when an agreement was made January 27, 1920 between the Board of Governors of Union University and the Board of Trustees of the Albany College of Phar- macy amending the charter of the Albany College of Pharmacy. That part of the charter of special interest to students and Alumni is as follows: “And Whereas the Albany College of Pharmacy under the Act of 1873 was established by the Governors of Union University and recog- nized by the Board of Regents, July 12, 1881 with power to confer the degree of Graduate in Pharmacy only BE IT RESOLVED that the Governors of Union University hereby formally apply to the Regents of the University for the modification of the organic law or charter of the Union University to the intent that undergraduate and graduate courses in Pharmacy may be organized by the school and appropriate degree in conformity with the requirement of the Regents may be con- Sixty-three ALEMBIC PHARAAKON ferred by Union University.” Proceeding under the amended charter the Pharmaceutical Chemist Course was authorized by the Trustees of the college and approved by the Board of Governors of Union University as meeting the requirements of the New York Statutes and the Regents Rules. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held November 3, 1927, Warren L. Bradt was unanimously elected President of the Albany College of Pharmacy. President Bradt graduated in 1889. Upon completion of his course he entered his father’s pharmacy which was located on the site of the present Educa- tion Building. His business is now located at Steuben Street and Broadway. In 1900 he was elected Secretary of the State Board of Pharmacy, a position which he capably filled. During his term of office all the legislation regulating the practice of pharmacy was enacted. The College and the pharmacists of the State owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Bradt for his untiring efforts in behalf of higher educational and ethical stand- ards for pharmacists. Mr. Bradt held the office of Secretary of the State Board of Pharmacy for twenty-five years. On July 1st, 1925 he resigned in order to devote more time to his pharmacy and other business interests. He is a member of the Rotary Club, Albany Country Club, University Qub, Fort Orange Club and Master Lodge No. 5 F. and A. M., State Pharmaceutical Association and American Pharmaceutical Association. He was a member of the building and equipment committees which had direct charge of the work of erecting and equipping the new college. The completion of the new college building in 1927 marked the beginning of a new era for the Albany College of Pharmacy. Every laboratory is equipped with modern desks and up to date apparatus for carrying on the work of botany, materia medica, chemistry and pharmacy. The new building was occupied for the first time in the Fall of 1927 at which time the College began the three year College Course for candidates for the Graduate in Pharmacy (Ph.G.) degree. The more thorough training that will be given in the three year course will enable the College to graduate better trained pharmacists. Two thousand six hundred and twenty-four hours of instruction is given in three years, eleven hundred and twenty hours of this time is devoted to laboratory practice. The University Course of three years was also started in the Fall of 1927. Candidates who successfully complete this course will receive the degree of Pharmaceutical Chemist (Ph.C.). Three thousand seven hundred and forty-four hours of instruction are given in three years, one thousand six hundred and sixty-four hours of this time is devoted to laboratory practice.

Thirty-nine hours of instruction is given each week over a period of thirty- two weeks for each of the three years. The advanced lecture and laboratory instruction given in this course qualifies the recipient of the degree to fill such positions as food and drug chemists, analy- tical chemist, manufacturing pharmacist, and pharmacognosist with large manu- facturing, wholesale drug and chemical houses. The Albany College of Pharmacy has to date eighteen hundred and ten graduates. 'Phis number will be rapidly added to because of (he large classes now in attendance. It is the purpose of the Trustees and Faculty of the Albany College of Pharmacy to maintain an educational standard in keeping with the best traditions of the University and the advancements made in the several sciences taught. Sixty-six 3 Resume Lambda Kappa Sigma Sorority was founded in the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy in Boston, in 1913. In the few years that have passed since then, the Sorority has grown, until it now embraces fourteen collegiate and five alumnae chapters. Beta Chapter was chartered in Albany in 1919. This chapter, although it has few members because of the small enrollment of women in our College, has gradually gained in strength and activity. Credit for this successful year and for past years should be given not only to our active members, but also to the fine assistance and encouragement of our Alumnae. Shortly after our return in September, a meeting of the Sorority was held at which Kathleen Martin was elected President. October the Twenty-third will always be a ne’er-to-be-forgotten date, for then the first social function of the school term took place—Lambda Kappa Sigma’s Fall Frolic. Black and orange decorations, odd Jack-o'lanterns, queer black cats, and weird skeletons adorned the Auditorium, lest one forget that Hal- lowe’en was near at hand. In January, on a cold blustery night, we had a Get-together Meeting. The snowstorm kept none of the members away—rather it seemed to be a special sort of celebration to grace the occasion, for we had with us that night, many of our Alumnae, who intrigued us with accounts of their interesting adventures in the field of Pharmacy. In the latter part of April, the. annual Spring Dance was held, and proved to be a success, second to none, except perhaps the Press Club Dance of Febru- ary twenty-sixth. Plans are being discussed now for our banquet which is to be given in June in honor of our two Senior sisters. May the members loyally and enthusiastically continue the great work of Lambda Kappa Sigma! L. R. F. Alpha Bkta . Gamma Delta Epsilon Zeta . Eta . Theta Iota .

The next chapter to receive a charter was Beta of Albany College of Pharmacy in 1921. The basic aims of this organization are to create a spirit of good fellowship among the men, the fostering of coopera- tion among pharmacists in practice, and the maintenance of good scholarship. Beta’s first activity of the year was its annual smoker on December 5, 1931, at Engleman’s Restaurant. Prof. Dewell of the faculty gave the boys an inter- esting talk on fraternities and outlined the growth and development of our own chapter. The Inter-Fraternity Dance, held with Phi Delta Chi and Kappa Psi fra- ternities was a complete success. The fine spirit of cooperation was very evident at this social affair. The next event of significance was the Informal Pledgee Dance and Dinner, held at the New Kenmore Hotel. The occasion was very appropriate as it came after the completion of the Third Quarterly Exams. Suffice it to say, that the boys acted in accordance with the spirit. The biggest event of the year was our Annual Formal Dinner Dance on April 15. The alumni are to be congratulated in view of the long trips they made in order to attend tins gala affair. With our genial “Banjo Bill” Haber as chair- man, a successful affair was inevitable. Elaborate plans are being formulated for the Formal Banquet to be held in honor of our graduating members. In reviewing the past year, one cannot help but believe that it was one of the best in the history of our chapter. It is only fair to say that our boys were very active in their scholastic activities. Our capable chancellor “Moe” Daffner’s activities are too numerous to mention. Likewise, “Bill” Haber did credible work to further the cause of our fraternity. The rest of the fraters cooperated in every conceivable way to make this a banner year for Beta. And now, before the last chapter is written and final tears shed as our senioi brothers are about to part, we feel that a real brotherhood has existed in our fra- ternity and assure our parting fraters that the noble work of which they were a part and parcel will be carried on with that spirit that has characterized Rho Pi Phi.

It has since expanded to 32 chapters. Alpha Theta Chapter was organized at the Albany College of Pharmacy, Union University, on April 13, 1931. This Chapter was formerly Epsilon Phi, Alpha Chapter. All of its members saw great possibilities if it become national- ized and exerted every energy to that end. Epsilon Phi has existed at the college since 1917 and during these years the spirit of good fellowship, honesty and brotherhood has lasted. The senior year started slowly, but gained momentum as the days sped by. The usual smoker was held and served to more deeply instill into its members the spirit of fraternalism. Tt was attended by faculty, members and friends and was pronounced a great success. An interfraternity dance with Kappa Psi and Rho Pi Phi was held at the college auditorium on January 13, 1932. On April 22, 1932 a formal dance was held at the Hotel Hampton. Plans are being made for the Annual Banquet to be held sometime in May. The social events and most particularly the Annual Banquet are the means of bringing together our active members and alumni and serves as a means of strengthening the bond of brotherhood to the point at which they can never be severed by time, distance or future happenings. It is this strength of brother- hood that makes a fraternity worthy of its name. The thought comes to us that soon we will he embarking upon our last and final day here. We feel that we, as brothers in Phi Delta Chi, Class of ’32, have carried on the good work that ’31 set for us. We feel assured, judging from the calibre of the officers for the year 1932-1933 that they will carry on the good work for Phi Delta Chi. P. G.

The organization was entirely literary in origin and soon expanded into the institutions of Russell Military Academy, Cheshire Military Acadenpy, Hillhouse High School and Yale College. The fraternity was carried into many medical schools by its members and was first reorganized at the Medical College of Virginia, School of Pharmacy, in December, 1879. In 1887 the academic chapters were discontinued and the fra- ternity placed on a strictly professional basis. Alpha Chapter or the “Grand Chapter” was first on the roll and has met annually from 1886 to 1908 and since that time every two years. In 1907 Delta Omicron Alpha Medical Fraternity of Tulane University merged with Kappa Psi. Shortly after Phi Delta Medical Fraternity of the Long Island Hospital Medical College also merged. At the National Convention of 1926 it was decided to divide the medical and pharmaceutical chapters. The name of the fraternity was lengthened to Kappa Psi Pharmaceutical Fraternity. Beta Delta chapter was organized at the Albany College of Pharmacy, Union University, at Albany, New York, in the year 1910. It has occupied from its first inception a prominent place in the college and on the campus. During the year of 1931-32 our chapter has been very active both scholas- tically and socially. On the evening of October seventh we held a smoker at the college. Soon after we participated with the other fraternities in an intcrfra- ternitv dance. Tn February the Dewitt Clinton Hotel was the scene of our annual formal dance which will be long remembered by all those present. Near the close of the year we held our Spring dance and annual banquet. We were glad to have Brother Rennet back with us this past year. We feel sure that he has enjoyed being back and that Ka] pa Psi has truly lived up to its ideals. Lester G. Collins, Historian Einhty-two Gam ma . Epsilon Eta Theta . Iota Kappa .

The organization in which these matters are discussed and decided is the Student Council, which meets the first Tuesday of each month. The Dean is Chairman at all meetings, the president of each class and one member elected from each class make up the Council. Reports and announcements of sports and social activities are made. The Council conveys to the students the wishes and decisions of the faculty on various student activities. Student policy is discussed and outlines of activities are decided upon. This body is indeed a proud possession of our college and it is an invaluable organization for settling student problems. P. G. Sidlowski, Secretary Officers Dr. Wm. Mansfield, A.M., Phar.D. .

Truly a real dance and entertaining orchestra. Whether you enjoy the soothing rhythm of dreamy melodics or the fast, modern syncopation you have found equal satisfaction in dancing- to the music of “Banjo Bill” and his Boys. Much credit must be given to that capable banjoist and director, Bill Haber, for his untiring efforts to entertain and please you. No doubt he is proud of his fine orchestra. We noted with appreciation the increased attendance at the basketball games. Good basketball followed by good dancing was the attraction this year. The Lambda Kappa Sigma Frolic, Inter-Frat Dance and the Press Club whirl also attribute their real success to Bill and the Boys.

Geary Editor-in-Chief jflortar aitb flestle Five years ago, when the Albany College of Pharmacy moved into their present spacious and beautiful building, the school publication “The Mortar and Pestle was founded by Professor 1 lutman. Because he was the direct cause of its institution, there has been no more diligent worker for its advancement than Professor Hutman. As far back in history, that we have any knowledge of, there has always been some type of a newspaper, to transmit the happenings of the times to the people. Journalism has progressed from century to century, until we may almost say that today, the Utopia has been reached. “The Mortar and Pestle” is a twelve-page paper, with art cover, and printed semi-monthly. It is the medium which stimulates good fellowship among the students and prints the news of all the sports and fraternities of the college, and also the thoughts of any individual student. This year, an Exchange Column has been inaugurated, whereby this college is exchanging “The Mortar and Pestle” with approximately twenty of the leading colleges in the United States. As the years speed on, this publication should become recognized as a leading Pharmacy College Journal and also one that prints the actual thoughts of the student body. The success of the school publication can only be attributed to the coopera- tion given by the students. At this time we wish to thank Professor Hutman for his judgment and guidance; Associate Editor Morris Daffner for his wealth of contributions; Exchange Editor Jack Harford for his kind assistance in the capacity of secretary. The Assistant Editors, Advertising Board and Freshmen Scribes deserve their full quota of praise and appreciation. We also thank the entire student body for their contributions. W. D. Geary, ’32 Ninety-five ALEMBIC PHARAAKON Sanborn l ougfjtsi It is commencement day, a most memorable day for most of us. The bright June sun seems congruous with our thoughts, for is it not the climax and pinnacle of our treasured dreams ?—graduation! The stage is set as we take our mechan- ical stand to welcome the conventional ceremony that transports us temporarily into those blissful moments which the human mind can conceive. How we will applaud and cheer our honorable speakers, who will both advise and praise us for our lofty and idealistically concchjgd Ethics. Happy though we may be in this short lived Utopia, we cannot help but realize that those memorable moments are fast fleeting, only to leave the dreamer in a chaotic state of mind. For, in spite of predictions, in spite of a promised successful goal, our materialistic imagination casts away our most sublime imag- ination. only to bring us back to the cold realities of Life with a terrific thud. The great many economic factors which we encounter are too numerous to mention. Moreover, so much has been said on the conditions relating to our call- ing, that it is hardly necessary or appropriate that we make them a subject of our thesis. Assuming that we have been primed and groomed to meet those prob- lematical facts which we are bound to strike, what about our mental outlook? What philosophical slant shall we adopt to stand the terrific competitive clashes now so prevalent in almost any professional calling? What are the chances of our withstanding the biological theorem of “the survival of the fittest?” To answer these and the hundreds of similar questions which rise in our troubled minds would indeed necessitate to call back a historic Superman. However, this much can be said, that the trend of pharmacy, in slowly but surely gaining its rightful place among the so-called professions, warrants our precious peace of mind. This trend is evident notwithstanding our pessimistic brethren who despair at the sight of a chain drug store or at the over-emphasized question of com- mercialism. Consider the modern drug store with its cheery atmosphere, bright windows and sanitary conditions. Can we rightfully say that it is not superior in every way to the old time, drab apothecary? It certainly is. Is not the graduate of today more fitted in every way to carry on the calling than his former colleague who hid behind the mask of a false dignity complex? Most assuredly he is. And what about the greatest asset of modern Pharmacy, public advice ? Surely no one can deny that the highly technical pharmaceutical products are infinitely more superior than the former “shot-gun” affairs employed as remedies, aided as it was with the power of the mystic and the divine spirit. To ignore these changes would be to ignore the value of strychnine. Ninety-eight Thus we see that a mental readjustment is imperative to most of us who still believe that we may practice the modem phase of pharmacy without any dis- paragement to it. These alterations are necessary to bring our theories in con- sonance with modern conditions, whether they please us or not. And now as we are about to assume the status of an Alumnus, let us pause now and then in the midst of our everyday affairs and reflect back to those three years of happy existence in our role as student. Let us strengthen the bonds of friendship which we created at our sojourn at college. This will serve as a drugless stimulant in the race of Life’s goal; and what is more important our peace and happiness. To close with Longfellow’s famous words: s “Let us then be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait.” M. D., ’32 HYMN OF HATE Or the Druggist’s Lament Have 1 in this a cause for lament? Should customers call me a thief for a cent, Then sweep from my counter with angry brows And lumber out grunting (the wallowing sows). To buy of my neighbor (as truly a cheat As most of his kind who deal on this Street). A bottle of so and so, three for a dollar. Would that my hands were now gripping his collar. And other such stuff, at ridiculous prices As 49 cents—when one dollar the price is. Why do these awful unreasoning scamps Come back with such gusto, when wanting some stamps Then when their hunger for stamps I appease Demand with a haughtiness—Wrap it up please. 11. M. Romonoff Ninety-nine c-l'9l2o ALEMBIC PHARAAKQN Scene in Microscopic Pharmacognosy Lab ALEMBIC PHARAAKON tEfjougfjt Graduation is here. Naturally, our first thought is that work at A. C. P. is over. Are we happy? Yes, in a way; we feel like youngsters on their first clay of vacation; glad to be free from the routine of classes and study. Ah; but then, we begin to look about us and our first thoughts begin to fade and a feeling of sadness steals upon us. How strange being sad at graduation! This we thought would be a time of unforgetable joy. Nevertheless, here we find ourselves at one of the great crossings along life’s highway. Here we see our many friends, old haunts and the countless good times that go with college life, bidding us God Speed. Now we begin to realize more clearly that we are no longer like the youngsters on vacation, 'but now, with the end to our college work at hand we must face life and win success in a world that demands much for this prize. Mind, I have no intention of attempting to set forth any formula for suc- cess. But I do believe that if some of the ideals and enthusiasm that every graduate has on leaving college would be preserved as is his diploma or the memories of the “good old days,” many a career would be different. So, as we hang this document to which we look upon with pride and happy memories, let us alongside of it hang an imaginary document of our hopes and plans we now so optimistically feel will win us our goal and happiness. Perhaps this will serve, poor thought it may be, as a gentle reminder to us when we may become lax and fall into that rut that spells the end to the careers of so many men. We cannot help but feel optimistic, notwithstanding the existing chaotic con- ditions now prevailing in the ranks of pharmacy, that this class will reap a har- vest of success in a field where only the fittest may hope to survive. This struggle alone is an incentive for the attainment of our goal, for it is only through compe- tition and the contact with a realistic world that we acquire initiative, experience and above all, self-reliance. And now, as the time for parting looms on the horizon, that sad feeling grips our otherwise happy countenance. We remind ourselves that it is time to say good bye and pour out the conventional wishes for happiness and suc- cess. Let our hearts rather than our lips convey the well wishes. As to bidding each other farewell, let us digress for the moment and utilize our Spanish expression, “Hasta Llucgo”—“ ’Till we meet again.” That beautiful phrase is much more appropriate than “Good Bye” for we feel that somewhere our paths will cross and once again the cherished memories will serve to further tighten the bonds of friendship created during our three years of companionship. And so, when the last formalities of farewell are over, it is hard to suppress that tear and sigh as we unconsciously say— “Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow.” One Hundred Two T. J.

Second • We direct that all accrued alimony claims and other expenses, in- cluding tax on bootleg liquor, be promptly paid by the Association for the Advance- ment of Student Lunatics, with which we are proudly affiliated. Third: We give, devise, lake and bequeath the following: To the Junior Class: a complete set of signals which will prove indispensable in Posology. The same having been perfected by Messrs. Glockner and Gourson, after three years of arduous labor and continued “flunking” of the said Posology. To the Freshman Class: all unfilled dates and lemons pending completion, with regards to the species of “Wall Flowers,” normally found at such institu- tions as State College, Page Hall, P.A.T. Girls, C.O.D. and Old Maids’ Home. Also to this class we bequeath the smoking room floor which was not entirely burned by cigarette butts ejected by smouldering seniors. To Prof. Sharbach: all assets and liabilities including contra accounts and remainder of unused hypnotics that were not consumed during the same gentle- man’s lectures. To Prof. Hutman: one automobile jack of uncertain origin. This device is all that remains of the heterogeneous assemblage which “Al” Pajak used to call a Ford. We hope and pray that Prof. Hutman will use this implement in jacking up the marks of future seniors. To Prof. Squires: fifty-five sets of Micro Slides whose contents we never investigated. We hope that our successors follow this fine, illustrious example of research. To the City of Albany: the water which served so admirably as liquor and as an antidote, for gold digger’s disease, characterized by the patient’s constant cry of “Gimme, Gimme.” One Hundred Ten [pi ALEMBIC PHARAAKON To the unfortuante scholastic students, several pairs of magnifying glasses which may be used to advantage by cribbers, especially when a Myoptic Prof, is in charge. Last, an assortment of rare possibilities including the following: Waldo’s Sarcasm, Harford’s Modesty, Dygert’s Hairy Arm, Heldmann’s Dimples, Haber’s Vanity, Guida’s Mockery, Collins’s Orations, Young’s Accent, Prof. O’Brien’s New Psychology, Geary’s Water-stocked Publication, Ritz’s book “How to Stop Falling Hair,” Miss Glavin’s Shock Absorbers and Dall'ner’s Blue Pencil. The above named items are to be disposed of by a committee named by Dean Mansfield and aprovcd by the Block Heads, commonly known as the Stu- dent Council. In witness whereof, whereto and three therefroms we hereby put, place, and insert, adjust (use your own terms), our Roman hands and finger prints, this 25th day of May of the month of “When a Young Man’s Fancy Turns to—” of the year of our Lord (if an atheist, or married omit the last) 1932.

Henrp = = = Ipotfjecarp Where once he measured camphor, glycerine, Cloves, aloe, potash, peppermint in bars, And all the oils and essences so keen That druggists keep in rows of stoppered jars— Now, blender of strange drugs more volatile, The master pharmacist of joy and pain Dispenses sadness tinctured with a smile And laughter that dissolves in tears again. O brave apothecary! You who knew What dark and acid doses life prefers, And yet with smiling face resolved to brew These sparkling potions for your customers— Glowing with globes of red and purple glass Your window gladdens travelers who pass. Christopher Morley One Hundred Eleven Mentor ©uesrttonnatre Below appear the tabulated returns of the Senior Questionnaire. Of the 56 issued, all were returned, some seriously answered, some facetiously. The results were tabulated by the Board to the best of their ability, and the originals are on file for inspection by any one at any time. We regret that lack of space prevents giving all the interesting answers received. These returns show that in scarcely any question were the answers anywhere near unanimous and that opinion differs widely, so in no case should the answers be considered either a tribute or a slam. 1.

Pharmacy suffered a severe defeat on the next night at the hands of Cort- land Normal School 49-17. Returning to the home court to close the season on March 4th, Pharmacy went down to defeat in an amazingly fast and clean game, at the hands of Ithaca again by the score of 32-26. With a season record of seven victories and three defeats, Pharmacy can well be proud of its basketball team. Graduation will take Avnet, Boynton, Rafferty, Kazel, Collins and Millman. However, Coach Allan has some most promising material in the Junior and Freshman classes to carry on for Pharmacy in next season. With such men as Mikhitarian, Hennessey, Crain, Hannas, Totman, Miller, Philo, Zguris, Miekham, Lee and Ellis, a nucleus to a winning team is well formed. Let’s hope they are well supported! The frosh team had a banner year, winning four out of five starts thus making an exceptional year for Pharmacy. High scorer for year—Boynton—73 points. Record Cooper Union ...............

Faculty Advisor Hanmcr has been very interested in the welfare of tennis. Through his perseverance we have been able to secure the necessary equipment. While the gym floor is not as satisfactory as a clay court, it admirably meets our need for preliminary matches. We consider ourselves exceedingly fortunate to have it, especially because of the early termination of our school term. Among the outstanding of our tennis enthusiasts are Paupst, Sanford, Lloyd, Brandy, Eldred, Zguris, Sternard, Boigeol, Dygert, Hannis, Stanczuk and Doyle. At the present writing these men are “in training” with the hope of becoming the tennis champions of good old Alma Mater. The tournament is the big event of the tennis season. Both singles and doubles are the order of the day, and “survival of the fittest” is our motto. With competition running high the unfortunates will be gradually weeded out and toward the end of the year the “sharks” will clash for their final battle. The victor will receive a prize he will be justly proud to own—one he will pass on to his great- grandchildren. Tennis is being received with growing enthusiasm. May this continue down through the ages. One Hundred Nineteen Prof. F. J. O'Brien Faculty Advisor K Sal F. Gum a Manager potolmg Eesume Strike—Spare—Split. And the bowling teams wound up a very successful season on the night of March 22nd at the Palace Recreation Alleys. The Senior team got off to a good start and held the lead all through the year. Caramadrc proved that he was the best of the boys by bowling consistently and winding up with high average for the year. The Juniors finished second, led by Captain Damian, who finished up with the leaders. Philo proved to be best of the Junior team. The Freshmen team, led by Captain Colella, got off to a bad start due to the absence of some of the men. They wound up the season by defeating the Senior team three games. Brandy, who had high game for the year was the leading bowler on this team, followed closely by Meehan who copped high three. The Faculty team, led by Captain O’Brien, finished last due to the fact that they were victims of sloppy hits. Squires was leading bowler of the team fol- lowed by Battaglia. After a long absence, the Dean came back and showed that he can still toss a mean ball. We wish all the future Falcaros good luck and hope to hear that they are entered in the International Tournament some day.

Although the team was late in starting this year due to the lack of the practice range, the scores have been high. Keen competition has been shown between individual members.

That this sport is much demanded was shown by the results of the student ballot in which it was unanimously approved to continue after a lapse of a year. No definite presentation regarding the ability of the boys in that line can be had at this time. However, if the spirit gets underway, it is reasonable to expect that once more A. C. P. will list this popular game as a major sport. Moreover, we are fortunate in having as coach, Prof. Squires whose ability in handling men is short of being phenomenal.

Her hands reached out toward him; her eyes held that rare glow; her breath was short—almost gasping. (And it was not asthma.) She had long since forgotten that the bewitch- ing spitcurl on her forehead was not in place. She did not care. Her hat threatened to slip from her head, her dress hung loosely from her shoulders which were dropped carelessly, lan- guorously,—conquered. Her brow was hot, her lips burning, her whole body was palpitating with heat. Was she hot! She’ll say she was! She was all burnt up. Still ten miles out and her roller skate busted.

Druggist: Sure! There’s nothing better than mustard for hot dogs ! He used to be a Ph.G. Now with pharmacy he’s through— For what he thought was saccharose Was HgCk. The old doctor was giving the young graduates instructions in how much to charge a patient. “For calls at night I charge $15. If the call is more than three blocks away I charge $20.

He told his story to a lawyer —awaited his advice. He was in- formed that it was a good case, could be won easily. “That is just what I wanted to know,” said the man of pre- scriptions. “Let’s drop the case. I’ve given you the other fellow’s side of it.”—Adapted. One Hundred Thirty-two Leo D. (in chem. class): “Honest prof.

What was your college yell?” Bo: “Cut his lip, Rip his jaw, Leave his face Raw! raw! raw!” The feminine end of a cigarette is the one that the “draws” are taken from. First Student: “You nit-wit, you can’t date that girl. Why, she’s as beautiful as poem.” Second Stude: “Poems are made by fools like me.” He: “Would you consider it an in- suit if I offered you a drink?” She: “Yes, but I’d swallow that one.” GOOD JUDGE Lawyer: “Can you tell me if the defendant was expensively garbed?” Negro Witness: “’Deed she was, sah.

When all things are considered, an investment may not be so bad after all. “I have spent nearly $20,000 on that girl’s education,” complained the ag- grieved father, “and here she goes and marries a young feller with an income of only $1,000 a year.” “Well,” said the friend of the fam- ily, “that’s five per cent on your in- vestment.

She snuggled her fair little head close to his manly chest, caressing his face with her soft tempt- ing lips. He stirred and grasped her tightly in his arms, holding her fragile body close.

There was sadness in the boy’s eyes. His companion con- trary to all expectations of a blind date was cheerful, good looking, amiable, supple and so! er. The boy solemnly stood clinking two nickels in his pocket. Evidently he was a pessimist, for as he spoke, the fire of Dante, Vol- taire and Chic Sale smouldered on his lips. “Life is dull,” he said. “Pack- ards, women, education, shows, what is new? I've been every place and done everything. I was happy and now 1 am sad. I have tasted bitterest dregs, yes, the bitterest of dregs.” And then gentle reader, came the answer, true to life, easy flowing, world stirring. “Why don’t you try syphoning your beer before you drink it?” One Hundred Thirty-six ALEMBIC PHARAAKON She: “Dear heart, will you love me when my hair turns to gray?” Padula: “Why not?

The trouble with freshmen now- adays is that they get too many pats on the upper back and too few on the lower. “What do you do for a living?” “I work in a burlesque show.” “Shake.” Co-ed: “I'd like to try that dress on that you have in the window.” Clerk: Sorry, Miss, but that’s a lamp shade.” One Hundred Thirty-seven ALEMBIC PHARMAKON A typical Senior. The doctor of a country village had two children who were acknowledged by the inhabitants as being the prettiest little girls in the district. While the children were out walk- ing one day, they happened to pass quite near two small boys; one lived in the village and the other was a visitor. “I say,” said the latter to his friend, “who are those little girls?” “They are the doctor’s children,” replied the village boy. “He always keeps the best for himself.” Jackson: “Did you have a nice time at the party?” Hill: “Well, I had a nice party at the time.” Carl: “There’s a certain reason why I love you.” ?: “My goodness!” Carl: “Don’t be absurd ” Old Lady: “1 wouldn’t cry like that my little man.” Boy: “Cry as you damn please, this is my way.” “A penny for your thoughts.” “A penny, hell. It’s the kind of thing you pay eight eighty for on Broadway.” “Where did I come from?” asked the rosebud. “The stalk brought you,” answered the rose. FAMOUS PEOPLE IN THE PUBLIC EYE Gracing our Hall of Shame, pardon, I mean Fame, is none other than that world renowned butcher—excuse me, surgeon—Dr. O. Hugh Murderer, M.D. (mentally dead). Doc Mur- derer is an honor grad of the famous class of T3 B. V. (before Volstead). Somebody woke Doc up one night and asked him what to do for a person who ate poisonous mushrooms. After a lengthy deliberation, the Doc advised a change in diet. In a famous speech, comparable only to Lincoln’s Gettysburg address, he claimed that men of his mould should do their own dispensing and do away with the pharmacist entirely. We would beg to advise the Doc that even mouldier men than he have tried it and couldn’t get away with it. In passing we would also like to say that as a side line the Doc does veter- inary work, specializing on heavy draught horses and contented cows. One Hundred Thirty-eight ALEMBIC PHARAAKON Doctor: ‘‘Pat, your wife’s just pre- sented you with quadruplets.” Pat: “Four crying out loud.” She: “ Why haven’t you any hair on your head?” Lou: ‘‘Grass doesn’t grow on a busy street.” She: “No, it can't come up through the concrete.” Absent-minded Dean (knocking on St. Peter's Gate): “C’mon open up here or I’ll throw the whole fraternity out.” Virgil: “I’m going to quit school.” Prof. Scharhach: “If you do you will have wasted three years.” Virgil: “And if I don’t, I’ll waste four.” It has now been definitely settled that the man who first said, “Prosper- ity is just around the corner,” works in a roundhouse. Ikey: “When does your closing out sale open?” Abie: “When my opening sale closes.” Suggestion to Mr. Wrigley for a radio theme song: “When You Gum to the End of the Day.” Gergis: Do you serve crabs here?” Waiter: “Certainly, we serve any- one; sit down.” Bum: “This big Italian fighter has to have a bed over seven feet long.” Mub: “Say, that’s a lot of bunk.” The cribber’s song: “Just a Little Closer.” The widow deliberated a long time before she decided what inscription to have on her husband’s grave. Finally she decided on this: “The light of my life has gbne out.” This proved quite satisfactory for a time but the widow fell in love again and she wanted the inscription changed so that the sentiment would be true. She had this phrase added: ‘but I have struck another match.” Preacher: “Wilt thou take this woman to be thy awfully wedded wife ?” Groom: “I wilt.” Wife: “Did you object to the way I danced on the table at the party?” Hubby: “Yeah! flow’d you ex- pect me to sleep with all that racket going on over my head?” “They took my brother to the hos- pital because he swallowed a bunch of firecrackers.” “Oh dear. I hope you hear only favorable reports.” She (buying a Christmas seal for a package): “Now where shall 1 put it? I want to put it on myself.” Geary: “Go as far as you like, lady.” One Hundred Thirty-nine ALEMBIC PHARAAKON Mother: “Are you sure you are telling me the truth.” Daughter: “Yes, mother—Ruthic was the only one T had in while you were away last night.” Mother: “Well, anyway, it seems darn funny that she should leave cigar stubs in the room.” Advice to Co-eds: When sitting on the ragged edge of despair, be non- chalant, buy a new pair. “What is your papoose,” asked John Smith of Pocahontas, “in trespassing on my land?” Rosie: “Aren't you getting Johnnie and Bill confused?” Mary: “Yes, I get Johnnie confused one night and Bill the next.” Fling: “How was the show ?” It: Boy, it would make a premedic blush!” A girl may love you from the bot- tom of her heart, but there’s always room for some other guy at the top. ’32: “Didn’t 1 meet you here two years ago?” Co-ed: “I think so—your face feels familiar.” Phi Gam: “When do you gradu- ate ?” Phi Sig: “End of this quarter.” Phi Sig: “Surprised?” Phi Gam: “No, I've been expect- ing it for years.” “How come you let your daughter go out with that traveling salesman?” “I overheard a college boy say lie was going to ask her to the Prom.” Then there’s the young man who goes up to his girl's house and starts singing “I Got Five Dollars.” The young lady immediately responds: “I Surrender Dear.’’ Two gentlemen, greatly under the influence of intoxicating beverages, were wabbling along Broadway, when they accidentally bumped into Madi- son Square Garden. Looking up, they saw a sign which read “Wrestling Tonight.” Having nothing to do and plenty of time to do it in, they decided to go in. They were for- tunate enough to get ringside seats and the main bout happened to be going- on, and one of the wrestlers had a head-lock grip on the other. The op- ponent broke loose from this grip and they wrestled around for about a half hour when the same wrestler suc- ceeded in getting another head-lock grip on his opponent as he did earlier in the bout. Upon observing this, one of the drunkards whispered to the other: “T.esh go, Pete, this ish the part that we came in on.” Boynton: “Well, I’m going up and take the State Boards tomorrow.” She: “Gee, don’t let any one see you taking them or you'll be arrested for stealing.” One Hundred Forty Compliments of Paramount Barber Shop 378 Clinton Avenue Raffael Palumbo, Prop.

Annuals by Brandow are that kind. For we feel obligated to live up to the confidence expressed by thirty-one leading schools and colleges for whom we created year books last year. The printing of college annuals is, with us, more than the production of beautiful vol- umes ... it is a hobby—for we revel in the true job of creative, artistic craftsmanship. To withstand constant handling the covers are as sturdy as artistic. The type is clear, harmonious, balanced. A patented process makes it possible for us to produce cuts which retain all the pristine clearness of the original photographs. So well do we serve our schools that invariably the staffs have recommended us to their successors. It will be a pleasure to discuss with you the details of your next annual. The Brandow Printing Co. College Annual Department ---ALBANY, N. Y..... One Hundred Fifty-four cknotolebgment It is with great pleasure and heart-felt gratitude that I take this opportunity to extend my sincerest appreciation to those who have con- tributed to the successful realization of this volume. I am greatly indebted to the members of my staff for their unselfish willingness to cooperate in this laborious enterprise. Miss Kathleen Glavin of the office aided us greatly in securing valu- able data and information. A vote of thanks is due to the Arthur Studios, Austin-Empire En- graving Co., and The Brandow Printing Co.,—our official photographers, engravers and printers respectively, especially the Misses Lacques and McGarity of the Arthur Studios, and Mr. Johnson of The Brandow Printing Co., who cooperated with us to the fullest extent and produced the best of material for this publication. Professor William Larkin has deservedly won the admiration of this staff through his personal interest to realize our expectations. To the many advertisers, through whose financial support this book was made possible, we wish that their efforts are crowned with success and good fortune. Lastly, the Student Body and Faculty whose interest and spirit was the quintessence of inspiration. Morris M. Daffner. Editor One Hundred Fifty-five utograpf autographs
