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).

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! Historian, Senior Class; Scribe, Mortar and Pestle (2) ; Associate Editor, Mortar and Pestle (2) ; Orchestra (2) ; Junior Prom Committee. 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!

Alembic $f)armafeon Alice Anna Godell, AK2 “Snooks” Schenectady New York “A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in it’s vicinity to freshen into smiles.” Alice has a very pleasant and charming manner that endears her to all of those who know her. Her marks are an indication of her high scholar- ship. Her spontaneous and subtle humor has often afforded us many laughs. Her motto is: “A good turn daily.” We’ll miss you, “Snooks”! Vice-President, Senior Class: Tennis (1, 2). Richard Lyle Groome, K “Dick” Troy New York “A good disposition is more valuable than gold.” One would never guess from ' Dick’s” modest and reticent nature what earnestness and faithfulness of purpose lies hidden beneath a sunny disposition. “Dick” is always ready to help us and once lie starts a project, he is sure to finish it. You’re bound to be a success in the business world, “Dick”! Junior Prom .Committee; Bowling (2. 3); Rifle (2); Handball (1, 2, 3). Robert Avery ITaines, K'k “Bob” Millbrook New York “Strong men delight in forceful speech.” “Bob” is a great favorite with the girls around town. Numerous dates and late hours seem to he to his liking, but he never lets these interfere with his studies. He likes to be called “Little Na- poleon”.
