gUemtuc $f)armakon We returned for our last year at A. C. P. with the sober realization that this was to be the last year in an environment which wc had grown to love. We were saddened by the thoughts that our days were numbered and we made vows to drink in as much of the spirit of the place as we could in the space of one fleeting year. Our class officers were: President Edward Wolff; First Vice-Presi- dent, Irving Newton; Second Vice-President, John Watts; Secretary, Albert Wein- berger; Treasurer, Donald Howard; Historian, Julius Baltch; Student Council, George D’Annunzio. The social events of our three years were climaxed by the Senior Ball which was a huge success. It is now nearly over; all over but the memories. The three years have served to open some eyes and to disclose new vistas to the more fortunate. For one and for all, A. C. P. has made some impression, some mark, some contribution to our lives. All obstacles have now been removed from our path. The road to our future success is now open. Knowing what ought to be done will not bring perfect results. Action must drive ambition; the nail is useless without the hammer; courage is the complement of knowledge; we have the knowledge, now— Good Luck, Seniors. Julius Baltch, Historian.

 glemfctc iPfjannafeon Mentor Class J tStorp From the security of our high position, we may now briefly pause to ramble over the events of the three years that are almost past. There was no blaring of trumpets, as we one by one, first slipped into Albany. Here we were—the Class of ’37, proudly cherishing the intention to become bene- factors of mankind, as pharmacists. In addition, our families understood and we professed to know, how the democratic give and take of a college was valuable in itself. Some of us were cognizant of the fact that our minds might also, become more acute, more systematic and hence more useful than ever before. Quietly and with little ado we found quarters, registered and became embryo pharmacists. After the first few bewildering weeks had passed, we swept into the life of A. C. P. The new found friendships, the smokers, the fraternities, and the dances all tended to make our first year one of pleasant memories. Our class soon became more formidable with the election of our first officers. They were: President, Ned Calvi; First Vice-President, James Meagher; Second Vice-President, Sylvia Evenchick; Treasurer, Walter Pangburn; Secretary, Marie Vallee; Historian, John Crowe; Student Council, Irving Newton. Perhaps the greatest success of the year was the Freshman Hop. Various activities soon claimed members of our class. Fraternity pins were proudly displayed by a certain few; others interested themselves in athletics while some sought scholastic honors. The year ended abruptly with the final examinations and we left the halls of A. C. P. to enjoy our summer vacation. The second year seemed short. Our class had been weeded by the authorities until we seemed a mere skeleton of our former self. Much of the glamour was gone but still we were determined to make this year a successful one and to accomplish this we knew that we must study hard. We paused briefly to enjoy the greatest social event of the year—the Junior Prom. The soft lights, the dancers and the music are but hazy memories. Much of our success was due to the following officers: President, George D’Annunzio; First Vice-President, Albert Weinberger; Second Vice-President, Walter Pangbum; Secretary’, Aldona Gudzis; Treasurer, Marshall Burns; Historian, John Watts; Student Council, living Newton. We had proceeded one step nearer our goal.
