The time has come when Bill must bid adieu to Jack and Joe. Dear classmates: Just close your eyes, And try to visualize, It sure is hard to realize, But ’tis so. Commencement. It was on a bright September morn, 1931, when fifty-five green High School buds registered as Freshmen, hoping some day to attain the heights of a College Graduate and a Pharmacist. To me it seems like yesterday. These same Freshmen elected P. J. Colella as their President, and Byron Smith, the man of the hour, as student council member. These two young men together with the other officers guided the destinies of our first year— our hardest year at A. C. P. Although only Freshmen, an active part in every school activity' was taken by our industrious members. A Freshman hop—and a huge success. The library drive with our class taking an active part. Spring, and farewell to the class of ’32. September, 1932. Hello Jim, Howdy Bill. We miss Dutcher and Han- mer. New courses. Afternoon classes. Leon Eldred elected President and P. J. Colella as student council member. The real leaders of the class. Li- brary- opened. Congratulations to the arduous workers and benefactors. Your task was not in vain. Junior Prom- the best ever held at A. C. P. Class of ’31 continues to lead in all activities. Another spring. Vacation and adios Class of ’33. September, 1933. At last we are Seniors. Forty-six of us left. We miss Walt Scharbach. New courses -Tox, Organic, Handbook No. 11. M. Medford Cooper with us again, but this time as our instructor. Leon Eldred chosen to lead us again.

Eric Jones representing us at Student Council, and your writer, M. Perhach as Historian-Reporter. Basketball team composed mostly of Seniors: Captain “Chuck” Hennes- sey, Crain, Mikitarian, Philo, Ellis, Totman. Baseball team also all Seniors: Co-Captains Ellis and Meehan, Hennessey, Colella, Philo, Strnad, Mikhitarian, Manager Mike. Bowling champs: Colella, Ellis, Meehan, Perhach, Philo, Brandy, Hannas. P. J. Colella elected Editor-in-Chief of Alembic Pharma- kon with M. Perhach as business manager. Dave Daffncr, Editor-in-Chief of Mortar and Pestle with Curtis Brandy as business manager.

Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar: The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel: But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new-hatched, unfledged comrade. Beware of entrance to a quarrel; but, being in, Beart, that th’ opposer may beware of thee. Give every man thine ear but few thy voice: Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment. Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not expressed in fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims I he man; And they in France, of the best rank and station, Are of a most select and generous choice in that. Neither a borrower or a lender be; For a loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all,—to thine own self be true; And it must follow, as the night the day. Thou caiist not then be false to any man. Farewell: my blessing season this in thee!

With great reluctance, the sun ap- proaches the horizon — the fields and woods overflowing with song...........I harken to the melodious and cheery cadence of the song bird, trilled over and over again. Pensively, I continue my rambling, languidly thru the woods. Becoming very tired. I sink lo rest at the foot of a drooping elm. The anesthetic powers of Morpheus overpower me............Lo and behold! Shades of the wondrous lamp of Aladdin! What is this scene I see transpiring in the evergreen glade? My friends! My classmates! ! In a surprised but happy consternation I re- lax to better observe this fantasy. A huge, red building appears in the background. This is enhanced with some green, oh very green young men and a very few young ladies . . . There is commotion among my classmates; my call to them is unheeded and unheard. With mingled feeling and bewilderment, I see that I, too, am among them. There is quiet and the announcer steps to the fore, to inform the assemblage. “This is the class of 1935”. Thereupon there is much cheering and upper classmen place “the insignia of welcome” the caps of maroon—upon the heads of the Frosh. Now the scene changes with dimming of lights, soft music, laughter and gayety in an atmosphere of serene enjoyment. The announcer informs us this represents the great social event, of the year, “The Freshman Hop”. As scene follows scene the remainder of the freshman year unfolds. Those hectic days of trial and worry- the quarterly exams; nights of studying and days of hurried scribbling—meals gulped quickly to return for a last glance at notes before the exams. Again days of bov and ecstasy—our final social affairs as Freshmen .... the first chapter of our pharmaceutical career fades. The second chapter appears after a lapse, indicating summer has passed. Back-slappings, “How’ve you been’s”. and greetings are exchanged. The embryo pharmacists are returning to A. C. P. The scene fades, another appears, and a repetition of the first act is car- ried out. The outstanding social event of the year—“The Junior Prom”. The final scene, one of quietness, a seemingly sad one, one I can scarcely understand. At last it becomes clear. The sadness is caused by one or two unfortunates who are being tortured on the rack of professional inquisition. However, I am informed that a great majority have successfully survived the test— and now,- we fervently resolve to make the next year, our Senior year, still more successful, both socially and scholastically! Suddenly I am rudely awakened by the hum of voices, and upon opening my eyes I perceive a group of picnickers emerging from the depth of the woods, boisterously jabbering and singing. I am thankful that they pass so closely as to awaken me before nightfall. T rise, stretch lazily and slowly trudge back to reality. Historian, Clans of ’35 ALBANY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY,,.

From widely scattered localities we came, hopeful, eager, actuated by a common purpose, namely, to obtain f 130111 this institution of learning a training that would enable us to take our places as professional workers in the business world. How different the routine was from that of our schools of previous education! What an enormous amount of informa- tion we were required to commit to memory! However, we gradually became accustomed to college life and began to delve into the mysteries of Pharmacy. Later on, the motivating spirit of the Freshmen took a definite form and the Freshman Class was duly organized. Appointed to guide the destiny of the good ship “Class of 198(5” on the first part of her three-year journey were the following: William E. O’Brien, President; Boy Hess, Vice-President; Alice Godell, Second Vice-President; Richard Mance, Secretary; Edward Leonard, Treasurer; Howard E. Fleischer, Historian; and Ralph M. Cooper, Jr., Representative to the Student Council. As a short, but welcome pause before the Second Quarterly Exams, our books were deserted as we danced to the tuneful strains at the not-to-be-for- gotten Freshman Hop on January 12. Like other wonderful and highly- treasured moments in our lives, this passed all too quickly. Much credit for the social and financial success of this event is due the efficient committee, headed by William H. Baldwin .Jr. As for our contribution to the athletic prowess of the college, we arc proud to be represented on the varsity basketball team by “Les” Faris and “Dick” Mance, and to have produced some fine material for the Freshman teams in the other sports. Thus we have ended the first year of our training in pharmacy, and with a feeling of satisfaction, we can look back upon work well done, spurred on by the realization that we are one step nearer our goal. We have come to regard those who teach us not as unapproachable persons of great dignity but rather, friendly beings as ourselves. In addition to our intellectual gains, we have benefited by our contacts with other students, which will prove to be a decided asset in the future. Howaiii) E. Ft.kisohkii, Historian ALBANY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY it ---------—------------------Jg Fifty-five ALEMBIC PHARMAKON elie jfmihmau's Awakening To A. C. r. the Freshman came, A pharmacist to be; He thought to win undying fame, As all the world should see. With other “frosh” in crowded labs, He’d find some unknown pill, That would be lauded in the “tabs” As curing every ill. So with great care he strove each day With “profs” to make a hit; But many things there came his way That took him down a bit. One day he fell into disgrace And did at weighing fail— A paper he forgot to place On both sides of the scale. He worked so hard on unknown slides; And—just to please the Dean— He told of many plants besides That he had never seen. Unbalanced books and problems deep, Combined with Latin names, All served to rob him of his sleep And keep him from the “dames”. He hoped to shine and show his worth When he worked in the store: Alas, for dreams that crash to earth— They made him mop the floor. And to the Freshman’s mind there came His sire’s few words so true: That he who would achieve great fame, Has humble things to do.

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 enroll- ment 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. October 27 was the date of our first social activity of the year. Due to the splendid cooperation of the faculty and the student body, this affair proved very successful both financially and socially. In December, on a crisp clear night, we had a Christmas Party for the Alumnae. Our red candle, burning in the window, greeted many of the grad- ual es who had not been back to their Alma Mater for many years. Many of our guests intrigued us with accounts of their interesting experiences at Phar- macy. Plans are being made at the present time for our annual Spring Dance and Card Party and our Commencement Banquet. May the members loyally and enthusiastically continue the great work of Lambda Kappa Sigma.

Among the speakers were Pro- fessor O’Brien and a few representatives of the Kappa Psi and Phi Delta Chi Fraternities. These gentlemen helped lo make this affair a real success. Harrv Tischler was initiated into Rho Pi Phi in November and following Hie second quarter examinations Sidney Rosen and Isadora Wexler were made members of the Chapter. The Informal Dance at the New Kenmore proved to be a very interesting night with everyone taking part in the fun. Looking still further on our social calendar, to April 27, we find the Annual Formal. This was held at the Ten Eyck and Herb Gordon furnished the music in great style. The great number of Alumni who came pronounced this affair one of the best ever held here in some time. The last affair was the Banquet held at Rappaport’s restaurant. At this time the new officers were inducted into office. The spirit of cooperation which existed among the fraternities was in- deed a fine one and Rho Pi Phi hopes such an attitude will continue for all times. David A.

It, has since enrolled thirty-two chapters under the colors of Phi Delti Chi. Alpha Theta Chapter, formerly Alpha Chapter of Epsilon Phi, was or- ganized at the Albany College of Pharmacy, Union University, on April 13, 1931. Epsilon Phi was organized in the College in 1917, and during the suc- ceeding years the spirit of good fellowship, cooperation and maintenance of good scholarship has lasted. Marking on the theory that activity is the road to success, we started the school year with a smoker on October 13, which served to break down that feeling of formality which usually exists between the freshmen and the upper classmen. This enabled us during our pledging period to pick men that are worthy of our brotherhood. On November 13, Alpha Theta held its first initiation of the year and took into its brotherhood five freshmen whom we felt possessed both scholastic and fraternal qualifications. Thev were Russell H. Thvne, Leslie Faris, Robert A. Peek, Raymond E. Kbits and Ralph M. Cooper, Jr. On February 7, Alpha Theta field its second initiation and added two new members to its brotherhood. The new addition included B. Francis Foley, and William K. Comar. The DeWitt Clinton Hotel is to be the scene of our Annual Formal Dance, which will take place on May 5. On Fridav. Februarv 23, four Ahilia Theta men left Albany to attend the Phi Delti Chi Convention, held at the Statler Hotel in Detroit, Michigan. The delegates were Michael M. Porhaeh, Philip J. Colella. Russell H. Thvne and Ralph M. Cooper. Jr. It was Aloha Theta’s first appearance at a Grand Council since it enrolled under the Phi Chi Banner. Plans for the Annual Banquet are being made which is to take place some time in May. Tn reviewing the past year, one cannot help but believe that it was one of the best in the history of our chapter. Now that our senior brothers are parting, we feel that a real brotherhood has existed in our Fraternity and feel assured our remaining brothers will carry on the good work for Phi Delti Chi. And so in closing I would like to have one thought in mind with my re- maining brothers: Let me tell you brothers, When you’re striving for the goal, Keep your eve upon the doughnut And not upon the hole. Michael P. DeMurio, ’34 Sixty-four ALEMBIC PHARMAKON A RESUME BETA DELTA CHAPTER Kappa Psi was originated at the Russell Military Academy in New Haven, Conn., May 80, 1879, by F. Harvey Smith. It was established on the basis of an older academic society in which Mr. Smith’s father held member- ship. The organization was formed as a literary society and soon expanded into the institutions of Russell Military Academy, Cheshire Military Academy, Hillhouse High School, and Yale College. Many of the members of these chapters entered medical schools and in 1887, the academic chapters were discontinued and Kappa Psi reorganized as a strictly professional fraternity. “Alpha Chapter”, which is the govern- ing body, was placed first on the new chapter roll. The governing body, which is also known as the Grand Council, has met annually from 1880 to 1908 and every two years since that time. Beta Delta Chapter originated in the year 1910 after a group of young men attending this college saw the possibilities of an organization promoting good fellowship and scholarship. After due consideration the Grand Council of Kappa Psi Fraternity was petitioned for a charter, which was granted and Beta Delta Chapter began to function. Since that time Beta Delta Chapter has been decidedly active in collegiate affairs. We are proud of the work ac- complished by our predecessors who have gone out into the pharmaceutical world with the spirit of good fellowship instilled in their hearts. Success has greeted them in all parts of the world. In May. 1933, just prior to graduation of Regent James Mulholland and Vice-Regent Arthur Roberts, initiatory exercises were held for seven pledgees, four of whom were juniors and three freshmen. Officers for the coming year were elected from among the junior members. After this the annual Kappa Psi banquet was held and proved to be a great success. This ended the activities for the school year. This year we discontinued the custom of giving the formal dance usually held in February. We substituted an informal dance which was enthusiastical- ly received not. only by the graduate members, but by the entire group of ac- I ive members. Because of this line response the dance was a complete success. Another new feature in Kappa Psi is a system of maintaining communi- cation with the graduate members through the medium of our school publica- tion “Mortar and Pestle.” This idea was conceived by Brother Professor O’Brien whose constructive suggestions have aided in developing an efficient and interesting way of informing the graduate brothers of the social, athletic and scholastic activities of the fraternity. Our annual banquet ended another successful year. A large number of alumni attended with Brother Walter Seharbach acting as toastmaster. We have devoted ourselves most whole heartedlv to the furtherance of the successes of Kappa Psi. We leave it in good hands. We have no fear of the future of our beloved chapter. Fkank A.

The newly organized Council went into effect in the fall of 1930 and has governed activities of the students since that time. Meetings arc held the first Tuesday of each month. All matters concern- ing the undergraduate body are discussed and decided upon at these meetings. The Council is composed of the President of each class, a representative elected by each class, and Dean William Mansfield as: Chairman. Although the Council is only four years old, it has established itself as a permanent part of the college, being a great asset to the Student Body in bringing their questions before the Executives of the College.

After careful and diligent work, the annual made its first appearance under the name of The Alembic. The following year it was republished; this time it appeared as Till : Pharmakox. A few years later, in 1920, it assumed the name of The Alembic Pharmakox, which name it has retained up to the present time. This college annual, besides recording the activities of I he student body as a whole, and the activities of the various classes and groups, is very valu- able as a momento of our college days. II is especially treasured by the out- going class to whom it will serve to bring back pleasant memories. The Alembic Pharmakon has been successfully published each year un- der the influential guidance of Professor Larkin. We take this opportunity to extend our appreciation to all those who have so generously arid willingly contributed their time and interest to the sue- O •' o . eessful realization of this Annual. “The Staff” aS'eventy-fiv i Mortar anil Jlroti?

It is now six years since Professor Edwin ('. Hutman recognized the fact that, some student organ of expression was necessary at the College. With that in mind, he organized the Mortar and Pestle. Needless to say, the periodical lias achieved some of the aims it started out to. It has served its purpose in that it has provided a means of circulating our ideas and activities. This year the Mortar and Pestle took on a new form, quite a change from the six-page mimeographed sheet of 1928. A new cover lias been added and the entire paper revised. Let us hope that this is a start for a student pub- lication that will take its place among the best in the country. I take this opportunity of expressing my appreciation to Professors E. C. Hutman and E. J. O’Brien for I heir efforts in behalf of the Mortar and I’estle. I am also grateful to the Associate Editors Byron Smith, William C. Felton and Richard M. Cohen, as well as to Joan Coons and the rest of the staff for their valuable contributions. Much credit for the financial success of the paper is due to the efforts of our Business Manager, Curtis F. Brandy, and his staff. To the Student Body, the executive staff are thankful for their construc- tive criticisms and contributions.

We regret that we were unable to have our usual combination of eleven men, but with stars like “True Blue” Hayden—the young man with the “True Blue” voice of the air; “Bill” Edwards (the answer to a maiden’s prayer—it has been said), also the answer to a band leader’s prayer; “Larrv” Gibbs, who is no slouch, and does he “double”? ?; Collins, the man of many parts;; “Frankie” Soldo—dishes out much “hoogey”, tenor; as for myself, I am only the leader. In closing, T wish to state that I sincerely hope we can all enjoy next year, our last year at collegetogetber, with even greater success. Jack Crook ALBANY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY Seventy-nine (Hbp Albany (EnUpge nf Jlljarmary The Association of the Alumni of the Albany College of Pharmacy was organized March 5th, 1883. The Association was founded with the object in mind to foster and promote the interests of the Albany College of Pharmacy in the work of Pharmaceutical Education, and to cultivate social intercourse among the Alumni. The membership consists of all graduates of the College and such honor- ary members as may be elected by the Association. The Association boasts of 2,039 members, as the total number of graduates, the names and addresses of which are known are 1,577, addresses unknown,325, and deceased, 137. The Annual Reunion and business meetings are held during Commence- ment Week. At the last meeting, which was held in June, 1933, there were present the largest majority of the Alumni yet to attend the Reunions. There were members present who represent Classes from ’83 to ’32. It was indeed a happy occasion; old memories brought back bv the sight of former College chums rejuvenated the old Alumni, and drew back the cur- tain of Time for yet once more, to view the glorious College days of years long past. It was a touching scene, to these these reunions. And yet, it was an in- spiring spectacle. We sincerely hope that more and more of the Alumni will appear at the future meetings, for we are glad to welcome them, to revive old memories, to re- tell stories long since past, to live again those days we loved so well, and to dream together once more of the past before the hand of Time reaches out and takes us one by one to that grand old place where reunions are everlasting and perpetual, and earthly cares and worries are forgotten on the wings of a new life.

Historian Eighty ALEMBIC PHARMAKON All in Jffuti Just, imagine—1954—and not a pharmacy in the United States. Our classmates had to resort to something and so:— As told bv Michael Michaelovich Perhach to P. J. Colclla, editor of the “Pharmacist Monthly”, a weekly publication published in the interest of desti- tute and despondent pharmacists throughout the country: “I am now traveling with the Pharmakoff Russian Male Chorus, of which Issy Margolius is conductor. (“Is” and I always went for Russian music in a big way, even while at A. C. P., twenty years ago). “We are now in South Shallapv and who do T sec1 but Don Ant cleaning the streets. He claims that this is quite an advancement compared to what he was doing in 19.50. Working under bis supervision was Paul Tierney with Sam Poskanzer keeping time. I continue my walk and what do I see but a sign stating “Strnad and Van Tassel”, Funeral Directors and Embalmers. They were true to their motto, “we bury them alive”. T learned from Jack that Marty won the nation-wide stay-awake contest having remained awake for 134 hours and 22 min. Leon Kid red is President of the local lodge No. 1001 for the advancement of ringless kev rings. “We left South Shallapv and traveled north and landed in North Shal- lapv. It was here that. Tssv had to get one of his ears enlarged as it. was so small he had difficulty in hearing Ids singers sing. Don Brown was the bin shot in this town, being a. big ring leader. He had Frank Rvnn elected head of the W. C. T. U., and Frank Maggiob’no secretary of the Y. W. H. A. Bob Lee was running a slot machine racket for Don, while good old Len Cohen was Don’s beer distributor. “From North Shallapv we traveled further north to Barnesville, named after the various stables in Shallapv. I met John Carney who was running a new racket for the destitute pharmacists. I found out later that this racket was cock-fighting, and he had Chick Meehan referee all the bouts. The same ( cocks were used as in the days of ’34, in assaying Ergot. “Richard Cohen, President of the U. S. A., with Myron Philo as his chauf- fer. Philo still without an accident (remember this is 1954). “Hennessey, Crain and Mikitarian were matched in a doubles ping pong tourney, and were taking the country by storm. Bert, ran all the dashes be- tween ping and pong (ping-pong). Brandy was also traveling with them and was selling pills for obesity. Curt lost 65 pounds in twenty years. (He only weighed 258 lbs. last. nite). “In traveling around the various parts of the globe I learned more about other members of our dear class of ’34. Floyd Patten was heavyweight wrestling champion of Eastern U. S. having moved to California to gain this title. Dave Wallach was working in a broadcasting station, sshh, he told me different, but I learned later that he was dusting the sweeps left by nite prowl- ALBANY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY E ighty-two ers like Chet Thompson. By the way, Phil, you know Chet is father of six little ones, all from his second wife. Chet was married three times. I was sur- prised myself when I heard only six youngsters, but Chet never could roll a seven. Remember back in 1934? “The Greasy Spoon Lunch room is where I found Tufty Wade and Sew Ellis. Tufty was head chef, while Seward was chief dishwasher. After being together for four years all they had acquired was three kittens and a fox-ter- rier. Paul Byrnes was a nite watchman at a nite school for aged pharmacy profs. God bless them. “Ray Quirk turned out to be a great public speaker. Remember how naughty Ray was in 1934? Maldwvn Lloyd the great Welch crooner. lie croons your sins away. Buff listened to him every year, as he was her idol. Buff, you know, is president, of the Welfare League of Zilehville (named after the great basketball player Zilch). Ned Hannas is baldheaded and a great actor. lie still is the greatest ladies’ box office seller. “Greens and Miehalowski had a maternity hospital in Chainbersburgh (named after the great Ima Pott, widow of the late I’ra Pot). Clayt. Shuttle- worth was a makeup artist, in Hollywood. Among those whom he worked on were Totman and Jones. Eric takes the role of a Sheba in most of his pic- tures, while Leon imitates a bear. “Dave Daffner turned out to be a Rabbi and Gene Corman, not to be outdone, was still in the Harvard School of Nunnery (even though his name is Yale). Eddie Malkonian is the National two-mile walking champion of said Pottstown. Bill Virgil is in a circus under the name of Pee Wee. Remember Bill, way back in 1934? “Miller joined a troupe of midgets. You know, Phi1. Arty was such a small guy even in his college days. Stanton, bv the way, was the only one of the class of ’34 to remain single. He attributes his bachelorhood to the start that he got at State College. Keith was a first class flutist, and with his bushy hair he looked like a Russian (God forbid). McCarthy is living at the Feinburgh home for the aged and disabled. Mac is now 72 years old (remem- ber this is 1954). Irv. Hubbard was abroad (not a broad) studying and trying to figure out why A. C. P. lost so many basketball games in 1934. “Our own Doris was also abroad (as she always was) studying the art of Hooking a Doctor. Mike DeMurio turned out to be the most successful of all our classmates. Mike was 2nd assistant onion inspector at Cabbage plant number 1201. This said patch was located in Stinksville (named after I Smellem). “And now', Phil, you probably notice how I talk both in the past and present tense, both in singular and plural, etc., etc. For these grammatical errors I have you and only you to thank for. After living with a guy for any considerable length of time I guess you don’t blame me. Remember those three years together, 1932, 1933 and 1934? “I think I told you enuf Phil, so long.” MR ALBANY COLLEGE OF PHARMACYjo ------------------------------m Eighty-three ALEMBIC PHARMAKON (Tin JSi'irr af HItsilnm is Alumc Sabirs At this season of the year, young men and women present themselves to the practical world with their various degrees, plus hope, enthusiasm and con- fidence. They burst forth as leaves appear in spring and like the leaves, many arc “withered and strewn” when autumn comes, by the winds of disappoint- ment. To these youngsters the following may he interesting as well as help- ful. Two important words often confused are Wisdom and Knowledge. Knowledge means the possession of information, and Wisdom means the pow- er to make this knowledge useful. Wisdom without knowledge, that is to say, without education, may pull you through. Knowledge without. Wisdom ac- complishes nothing. Tt is worse, almost, than no knowledge, for it means hit- ter disappointment. The college graduate, whatever his learning may amount to, must work, and work hard, or remain only a routine college graduate, with nothing to show for his father’s money and his own time but a piece of sheepskin. Often college life proves dangerous. The French say of travel, “It forms youth when it does not deform it”, and so we may sav of college life, “It forms youth when it does not deform it.” The worst deformity that afflicts the college man is a harmful belief in his own accomplishments, in his own importance, and the importance of what he has learned. “Knowledge descries. Wisdom applies”, is a wise say- ing. Knowledge opens the eyes of ambition. Lets you know what others have done, and what you might do. Wisdom tells you how to do it. Many that consider themselves “Educated” because they have “done” so much Latin, Greek, Mathematics, History, English, and one or two living other Art courses, enter the practical world with a totally false idea of the importance of mere “knowledge in itself”. It has been said that “a little wisdom is a dangerous thing”, but all wis- dom. much or little, is to he desired. The dangerous thing is the kind of knowledge that makes a college man believe that he ought to succeed without hard work, the poisonous knowledge that convinces young men that some par- ticular task is not good enough for them, or does not offer “opportunity.” Young people must find comfort in the knowledge that willingness to work, patience, good nature, and cheerfulness, will, in the end, overcome obstacles. Fathers and mothers, especially those that do not possess a college edu- cation themselves, often exaggerate the value of such an education, and ex- pect too much from it. They must remember that in the practical world that which is taught at College, while it may train the mind and cultivate habits of concentration under favorable conditions, is in reality no more than a hand- some, well made suit of clothes that improves the appearance. Good clothes, a good appearance, are important, but a million times more important is that which is inside the clothes and under the hat, namely, the man himself. M. P. DeMurio, ’34 ALBANY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY Eighty-four ALEMBIC PHARMAKON HUio's the Susa? You may have intelligent and considerate bosses to work for. They may like you personally and do all that they can to help you along, but the Big Boss you have to deal with is yourself. If that Boss isn’t the “Big Noise” in your cosmos, you are not going to go very far. Being your own boss is not easy. You are too prone to be slack with yourself, to forgive your shortcomings, to feel that, after all, as long as you are satisfied with what vou are doing, other people will be. DON’T HEED DAYDREAMS. I know that there are people who are so intensely interested in their own work, that they would rather be engaged in it than anything else, but they are so few that they don’t count. In the majority are those who begin think- ing about something far removed from their job as soon as they hang up their office coats and get ready to quit the shop. Millions of such people are today working in small jobs and can’t understand why they never get better ones. The reason is that after they have feebly tried for a time to make themselves put their best efforts into their work, they get tired and take the easiest way out. Whoever you are working for, and whatever you may be doing, you can- not hope to get ahead unless you have sufficient self-mastery to force your self to work in and out of working hours, if need be. Don’t think about quitting time all day and reach for your hat and coat a few minutes before it arrives. Don’t be content with thinking about your work only when you are actually engaged in it. Be your own boss to the extent that you can force yourself to work, even when you do not feel like doing so. Manage your mind, and your mind will take care of you. “Run out on it”, let your brains play “hookey” and you will spend the rest of your days in some small position, blaming your luck for the fact that men whom you know are your inferior have passed you along the road and arc now occupying places that you meant to occupy when you started.

ALBANY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY Eiyhty-five ALEMBIC PHARMAKON LAST WILL AND TESTAMENTS OF THE CLASS OF 1934 Whereas, we, the class of 1931, being of unsound minds, and having had crammed into our heads the mysteries of the apothecary, do hereby make our last will and testaments insomuch as it won’t be long before we are officially ejected from A. C. P., as a penalty for passing too many of our courses: 1. To the school we wish no evil results because of our departure. In addition we bequeath the sum of $1.00 as a nucleus for a breakage fund for succeeding classes. (Just a precautionary measure). 2. To Dean Mansfield, we will the pleasure of pointing with pride to the constructive accomplishments of the radicals known as the “Class of ’34”. 3. To the Juniors, we bequeath all of the so-called privileges of a Senior and the dignity and up-righteousness, which will be necessary for them to assume. 4. To the Freshmen, we sincerely hope that you sagacious embryos will retain enough strength, courage, and will power to climb to the top of your chosen profession. Amen! 5. To Professor O’Brien, we leave our dust-covered book, commonly known as Scoville, and wisli him the best of luck in his endeavors in attempting to induce the pharmics to open the book at least once during their stay at A. C. P. 6. To Professor Ilutman, we present a leather bound volume of the United States Pharmacopoeia X and National Formulary V, so in the future he will not be forever asking his classes in pharmacy, “From what and how?” 7. To Professor Squires, who lias proven himself a man among men, we leave all the friendly advice which he offered us during our stay, that he can pass it on to the succeeding classes. It’s good. 8. To those students who desire it, Leonard Cohen leaves his enthusiasm, persistence and perseverance, necessary to become a successful Pharmacist. 9. Paul Byrnes, who has made unsuccessful attempts to sleep in recita- tion and lecture periods, wishes Spellman, his worthy successor, the best of luck. 10. Mike Perhach, our able politician and instigator of several student uprisings, will present his copyrighted book, “Politics and IIow to Organize”, to the lower-classmen who wish to organize their own political party. 11. Dave Wallach, the class jester, turns over to Trocchio, the responsi- bility of entertaining those who will laugh at anything at any time and think it’s pretty good. 12. To the men of the Alembic Pharmakon Board, the px-esent staff say “Good Luck”, and although it has enjoyed publishing the book it bequeaths all the trials, cares, monies, and aspirin tablets, which are only a small part of the task. 13. We offer this bit of advice to the student body and anyone doubt- ing the validity of the statement may question any Senior for further informa- tion: Never let your studies interfere with your education! Eighty-six ALEMBIC PHARMAKON 14. P. J. Colella hopes that there are some students who can make reparations for the broken hearts he is leaving behind—Amen! 15. Mikhitarian, I lennessey, Crain, Philo and Hannas entrust the care of their basketball trophies to the new team. 16. To Dick Hulse, Strnad leaves his overwhelming ability to cut classes and to offer an excuse which is accepted by all profs with impunity. And so we, the Class of 1964, still having our big heads, depart from our dear Alma Mater and may all the heirs and assignees mentioned in our last will and testament keep boosting for a bigger and better school, and when the sun rises in the East for us on the morrow, it will be a grand and glorious awakening.

Perhaps we may disbelieve certain of these, but did you ever listen to the modern true stories of the three adventurers at 600 Morton Avenue? The following were told to me in jest. The conversation started and happened to lead up to the recent picture “Wild Cargo”. Of course Crain said, “Did 1 ever tell you of the time I was in Africa hunting pythons? I’ll tell you how I captured them. I first angered them and when they raised their head to attack, I lassoed it and tied it. to a tree. I did the same to the tail and you see I had them in my power.” Mike chimed in, “Did I relate to you about the huge snake that swallowed the wolf in Saskatchewan?” “Aw!” said Wadie, “There ain’t no snakes in Canada big enough to swallow a wolf.” “It’s true”, said Mike, “My father is a priest and he will vouch for my statement.” “All right,” went on Wadie, “Did I tell you of the pet Dinosaur I had when 1 was in Arizona? Well, we went to Utah and my Phipostignia beans, which I was always in the habit of feeding him, gave out. lie started crying and that is how Great Salt Lake is there now.” Laughter far into the nite. “Sewf.f.ii” COLLEGE OF PHARMACY ALBANY Eighty-seven a h fitting M ($uer You wouldn’t think very highly of a contractor, who, after putting up a house, found some fault in construction which required him to tear it down and build it over again. Yet the average man ana woman are constantly doing things over because they were not done right in the first place. 'I'llis is espe- cially true of many College graduates, who after spending about four years of study find that their education must be at least partially done over bet ore they are fit for use. Among children, and grown ups as well, the habit of reading page after page of books, while their minds are on something else, is extremely common. The eyes follow the lines on the page, but. the mind is far away on some other quest, naturally that sort of reading has to he done over again. When you start a 'job make up your mind to find out everything possible about it, and then do it slowly and deliberately. Then when it is done, there will be no occasion to make amendments to it. When you are getting your education, spend plenty of time on it and there will he no need a few years from now of making improvements that would not have been necessary had a lit lie more attention been devoted to it at the start. The lime to worry about mistakes is before they are made, and not after. The way to do the right kind of a job is to lay it out and consider il before anything has been done. We live but once, and though the life span is of rea- sonable length, there is not time enough in it for rebuilding and remoulding what could have been done right in the first place. There is excuse for hurry when a bear or other wild beast is chasing you, but even then, if you take a little time, you will be better able to find a tree to climb than if you think only of trying to outrun the brute.

Michael Peuuacii A RESUME As this goes to press no games have been played, but from all indications we can look forward to a successful season. The games are all played at Lin- coln Bowl as in previous years. Among the. veterans from last year’s team who will be back in uniform this season are: Pitcher, Larry Gibbs: Catchers, Phil Colella and Gil Collins; Infielders, Chuck Hennessey, Chick Meehan, AI Mikitarian, and “Screwball” Ellis; Outfielders, Marty Strnad, Frankie Soldo, and Dick Hulse. Promising material seems likely in the Frosh: Thyne, Faris, Baldwin, and Jakaitis. Prof. Squires will again assume the role of Coach with Mike Perhach as manager. Meehan and Ellis as co-captains. Great interest was shown in all home games last year, which proved that the grand ole game of the diamond still remains popular among pharmacists. Among the seven games on schedule are: Green Mountain Junior College, Hartwick, Oneonta Normal, Stale Teachers, and Law College. W e lose the following this year through graduation: Hennessey, Ellis, Meehan, Collella, Mikhitarian, and Strnad. Good luck, boys and whenever at the plate remember dear old A. C. P. In closing T wish to thank both Dean Mansfield and Professor Squires for their active interest in baseball during my Iwo years of acting as manager. Mike Perhacii, Manager ALBANY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY Ninety-seven • -Tfrr— ' Phimi Coeet.t.a Once again a very successful bowling season has come to a close. Al- though the Seniors came out on top again, as usual, it does not mean that they lacked competition. The Junior team was right on their tail from start to finish, and, for a time it. seemed as if they were going to come out. victorious, hut that old Senior punch pulled them through while the less hardy Juniors fell down on the job. Now and then there was a sudden burst of competition from the “Ever Absent Faculty” and the “Anchor Team”, the Frosh. The champions, of 1983 1934, the Seniors, are as follows: Philo, Meehan, Brandy, Hannas, Perhach, Ellis and Manager Colella. Philo was the leading bowler of the season with an average of 161.21. “Chick” Meehan howling consistently was second, and rolled high three 385. A 225 by Squires took high single game. The success of the past season is due mainly to the efforts of Prof. O’Brien and to the interest he takes in the sport, he himself being one of the leading bonders. Prizes (a good howling ball) were awarded to the following: Philo, high average; Meehan, high three; Squires, high single; also to each member of the Senior team. At the last meeting of the howling league, L. Gibbs was elected to suc- ceed P. J. Collella as manager, and Leslie Fans, present captain of the Fresh- man team, to stop into Gibbs’ footsteps as assistant, manager. Here’s looking forward to a bigger and better season next year. Good luck, follows. F. J. Cor.ELI,a. Manager L.

Under the able guidance of Professor Cooper, and Manager Margolius, handball started oil' with a bang almost before we were settled comfortably in our school work. Practice was started immediately; the Elimination tour- nament followed in order to determine the best players to represent their re- spective classes in the finals. The matches should have been seen in order to appreciate them. Among the sights were “The Russian Twist serve”, as exemplified by the past master, Perhaeh; Speed Strnad steaming down the floor, crashing the ball for a kill; Daffner twisting his arms out of shape; Philo working his interference play on Hennessey; Groom waving good bye; Ellis all “liet up’7; Colella non- chalantly smoking a cigarette and beating everyone that came his way (even Izzy); Miller shadow boxing a bit before lie hit the ball; Hubbard, the “Mighty Atom”, mowing them down; Brandy tripping lightly down the floor; Poskanzer trying to get out of the way of his corpora.ion: Margolius busting his and “Mike’s” glasses; Trocchio doing the Linay; “Man Mountain” Jordan taking all comers; Byrnes napping between serves; and many other incidents and scenes which were humorous and also pathetic. The Frosh Champion—Wexler, a heady player who deserves this honor. The Junior Champion—Yuda. He had a tough time getting it but he finally pulled through. The Senior and College Champion —Hennessey For three years un- beaten and unbowed. College Doubles Champions—Hennessey and Margolius—a bit interna- tional, but this combination achieves results. And so we come to the close of a very successful year and it is not with- out regret that we Seniors bid you all a heartfelt “Auf Wiedersen” and the best of luck. I. R. Margolius, Manager ALBANY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY 1 ■ ---:-------- i t One Hundred Three ALEMBIC PHARMAKON Htfli' Qllitb Every year, Rifle has been a favorite sport among many of the students, but of late it has been gaining popularity and I dare say that it soon will be considered one of the leading sports of the College. Its increasing popularity is due to the hard work of Professor Squires, who has faithfully done all that was possible to make it so. We want to take this opportunity to thank Professor Squires for his untiring efforts in our behalf, also for making it possible for those of us who had classes at the time to attend practice. A fine showing was made by all three classes with the Freshmen slightly in the lead. The best marksmen are among the Juniors. Some fine shots are Collins, Elliston, McCarthy, Byrnes, Walker, Vincent, Solomon Ant, Ahern. G. W. Collins, M onager ALBANY COLLEGE OF PHARMACY it One Hundred Four Umiuiis (flub Considerable interest has been shown by the students in this sport. Due to lack of time in the spring, the Elimination Tournament was started last fall, and will be finished up as soon as the weather allows outdoor play. Many players have done much practicing during I he winter months on our excellent indoor court. Inexperienced players have shown marked im- provement and the more experienced players have kept in form for the finals. Dave Daffner won the Senior Tournament hy defeating Martin Strnad in a hard-fought match. Trank Soldo was the winner of the Junior Tourna- ment with Bud Ahearn in runner-up position. Soldo will meet the Freshman champ and the winner of that match will in turn play Daffner for the cham- pionship of the college. Much class interest is expected in these final matches.
