Alembic IJbarmakon William Kingsley Comar, PAX uBilV Gloversville New York “A friend should be one in whose un- derstanding and virtue we can equally confide, and whose opinion we can value at once for it’s justness and sincerity.” “Bill” is a true and loyal friend in every sense of the word. Need more be said? His work has been characterized by a desire to get at the true meaning of things. In his Senior year, “Bill” de- cided that two could make more progress in life than one alone, and so it was the “one and only” from back home. We wish them good luck and every happiness!

Franklin James Conger, K'i' “Jim” Warsaw New York “Elegance is something more than ease, more than a freedom from awkwardness and restraint—it implies a precision, a polish, and a sparkling which is spirited, yet delicate.” “Jim” is an example of “what the well-dressed student wjll wear.” Neatness such as character- ized “Jim’s” appearance and his work is an essen- tial quality of the professional pharmacist. “Jim” always smiled, even when everything went wrong, and to the Profs’ delight, he never asked unneces- sary questions. Keep on smiling, “Jim”! Handball (1) ; Freshman Hop Committee. Joan Coons, AK2 “Coonsie” Hudson New York “Dreamers may dream of many things, Schemers may scheme for many kings, Builders may build many a fine home— . But it takes our Joan to write a fine poem.” Although short in stature, Joan is the equal of anyone in mental attainments. She is studious and has a talent for writing poetry. We wonder how she could study so much in so little time. We will always remember her pleasant smile. Lucky Hudson!

gllemtnc Keith Welsford Berner, 4 AX “Blondy” Gloversville New York “The wealth of the mind is the onlv true wealth.” Keith combines a happy-go-lucky manner, ath- letic ability, and a keen intelligence. We all envy his scholarship and admire his ability to win prizes. Keith expects to start out in business for himself after graduation. The best of luck, Keith 1 Botany Prize (1); Charles Gibson Memorial Prize (2) ; Chemistry Prize (2); Treasurer, Junior Class; Secretary, Senior Class; Junior Prom Committee; Basketball (2, 3). Alfred S. Carpenter, K'k “Al” Plattsburg New York “Earnestness is enthusiasm tempered by wisdom.” “Al” is the pipe-smoking Beau Brummel of the class. Although he is of the “strong silent man” type, “Al” manages to say just the right word at the right lime, and always has a cheerful word for everyone. Cheerio, “Al” 1 Baseball (1) ; Basketball (1, 2) ; Freshman Hop Committee (1). Gilbert Wesley Collins “Gil” Piercefield New York “Skill to do comes of doing.” During his time in college, “Gil” took an active part in all of our sports and proved his excellence in all of them. The principles of sportsmanship learned in such an active participation in athletics should be a valuable asset to him in his future business. Keep up the good work, “Gil” 1 Student Council (3) ; Chairman, Junior Class Key Committee; Junior IJrom Committee; Bowl- ing (1, 2, 3), Manager (3); Basketball (1, 2, 3); Handball (1. 2) ; Baseball (1. 2, 3) ; Rifle (1, 2. 3), Manager (2) ; Alembic Pharmakon, Sports Editor.

Alembic pfjannafeon Ralph M. Cooper, I AX “Ralph” Delmar New York “The chief action for a man of spirit is never to be out of action; the soul was never put into the body to stand still.” To Ralph, action was life. His boundless enthu- siasm kept our spirits at high pitch. His sincerity and ready flow of humor have won numerous friends for him. Whenever a lecture made us day- dream, we could always depend upon Ralph’s sneeze to jolt us back to reality. Our best wishes, Ralph! Student Council (1) ; Junior Prom Committee. Howard Elmer Eleisciier “Howie” Albany New Y'ork “Next to doing things that deserve to be written, nothing gets a man more credit or gives him more pleasure than to write things that deserve to be read.” Admiration and respect is due “Howie” for his thoroughness, dependability, and pleasant nature, characteristics that we should all possess, for with them success is certain. He is a true friend, al- ways ready to supply information and give of his services. Chemistry Prize (1); E. F.

Bernard Francis Foley, 4 AX “Red” Syracuse New York “To be a gentleman is to be honest, to be gentle, to be generous, to be brave, to be kind, and possessing all those qualities, to exercise them in the most graceful out- ward manner.” We marvel at “Red’s” calm, collected manner in the face of obstacles. An athlete, student, and gentleman, “Red” always had the courage to stand by his own convictions. The fraternity will miss his guiding hand. Alembic Pharmakon, Junior Editor (2).
