Alembic jpfjarmafeon Mentor Cla££ jfyititovp Once more a graduating class glances back over three years, a period that has passed quickly, profitably, and happily, coming to a full realization of the glory and tradition that belongs to A. C. P. Now is the time for meditation, for glances forward and backward, for thoughts concerning the opportunities of the past and the possibilities of the future. In September, 1933, this class assembled to begin a course in Pharmacy. The proverbial freshman timidity was soon lost and the various fraternity smokers created a greater feeling of self confidence and sociability among the members of the class. Within a short period of time, the class was organized and the following officers were elected: President, William O’Brien; First Vice- President, Roy Hess; Second Vice-President, Alice Godell; Secretary, Richard Mance; Treasurer, Edward Leonard; Historian, Howard Fleischer; Student Council, Ralph Cooper. Many activities were started including various sports. Before we knew it, our quarterly exams were upon us. The casualties were numerous, showing that although “the old order changeth, yielding to the new,” the faculty always managed to remain about a dozen steps ahead of the freshmen. We struggled on with our studies through three more quarters. During this time, we enjoyed dances, basketball games, etc. By far, the most outstanding event of the year was the Freshman Hop. Then came the annual banquet and last but not least, vacation. At this time, the class separated to go its different ways. Many went home. Others found drug store employment in cities other than their own, while summer courses and odd jobs claimed the rest. We returned for our Junior year in September 1934, with some of the old faces missing and new ones in their places. Our work was difficult from the start. Some of us thought that since we were Juniors, we did not need to apply ourselves to such an extent as formerly, and that we could absorb the necessary knowledge without effort. After getting “soaked” a few times on exams, we gave up the absorption method and replaced it with the never failing method of putting on the harness and working for all we were worth. We soon became accustomed to the “daily written’s” and, before long, things were running smoothly with most of us. Our class officers were as follows: President, Leslie Faris; First Vice-President, William Baldwin; Second Vice-President, Raymond Kolts; Secretary, Edward Leonard; Treasurer, Keith Berner; Historian, Howard Fleischer; Student Council, Russell Thyne.
