Just as lusty shoots spring from what seems a dead stump, so in our hearts we believe that a new and more promising world will evolve from the greed and injustice, the tyranny and cruel practices of the past years. The classes of 1945 and 1946, as pharmacists and tech- nicians, have an opportunity to play an important role in helping to create a world richer in scientific knowledge, and what is equally important, a world in which under- standing and love of fellow men abound. After a course which has been completely accelerated, we are anxious to take our places among those of our profession with the realization that the “roots” of goodness still live. Alembic Six Pjharmakon Debtcatton It is with sincerity and pleasure that we, the Senior classes of 1945 and 1946, dedicate this issue of the Alembic Pharinakon to Dr. John D. Dwyer, professor of Biology. His conscientious and very capable instruction made easier for us the mastery of the difficult biological sciences, and his unique presentation of anatomical structures by the use of our friend “Johnny Jones” added humor to every class. We take this opportunity to express our appreciation of his untiring efforts and both his and Mrs. Dwyer’s keen interest in all our social activities. Poarb of trustees Arthur S. Wardle, Ph.G.

Siddon 1922-1945 What makes the great oak bend with an ill-tempered wind? What is it that draws back a risen sea, Only to let wash once more each shore with unerring consistency? Is it not the same force that stirs men to yearn for liberty; And to fight until death that which can be held only by living fearlessly ? With this thought foremost in our minds We must dedicate our lives. Let us be charitable, And let us be just. Let us serve mankind; Let not mankind serve us. We must trust in God, Since to Him we must pray For lasting peace and good will in our day. We must never again sacrifice our sons For a cause that is borne of a cause that was lost. Above all, we can never forget those who have passed, Leaving us so monumental a task Of building anew that which was known to so few. And to those young men who have given their all, Look up ! We must, Lest we shall fall. Ten R. R. J. D. Pfiarmakoin Dixon Ryan Fox, A.B., A.M., Ph.D. Chancellor of Union University, 1934-1945 In the sudden death of our Chancellor, Dr. Dixon Ryan Fox, on January 30, 1945, the Albany College of Pharmacy lost a true leader and understanding friend. For over ten years, he served Union with distinction, carrying on with honor all that was best in her tradition. As a great educator and renowned historian, he worked with tireless energy in ever expanding the name and the prestige of the University. One of his most outstanding projects was the Mohawk Drama Festival which, with Charles Coburn, he inaugurated to make Union the first American college to carry out a cooperative enterprise with the professional stage. Another project w'as the Town Meeting of the Air broadcast over WGY from the Old Chapel each Sunday afternoon. Dr. Fox was a man of broad interests. He contributed much to the intellectual life of his country. He was a scholar with a wide knowledge of American history and literature, and he contributed much to both. Union University and the nation have lost a fine administrator and wise advisor. The quality of his leadership, his poise and dignity under all and varied circumstances, and his gentlemanly kindness to all will be long remembered by those whose good fortune it w'as to know him. Eleven Alembic Benjamin Whitaker, A.B., A.M., Ph.D. Acting Chancellor of Union University Twelve Francis J. O’Brien, Ph.G., Ph.C., A.M., Ph.D. Dean Dr. O’Brien, as Dean of the college and head of the pharmacy department, has shown that he is truly a brilliant and capable man. Whether as professor in the lecture room or laboratory, or as advisor in his capacity as Dean, he has suc- ceeded in making all our “mountains seem like molehills”. Dr. O’Brien is an alumnus of our Alma Mater, graduating in the class of 1920 with a Ph.G. degree. Fie took a position on the staff here and continued his work to obtain his Ph.C. degree in 1929. In 1932 he received his A.B. degree from the New York State College for Teachers, which was followed by his A.M. degree in 1936. Shortly after this, he began work on his Ph.D. degree from Fordham Uni- versity. It was granted in June, 1940. As the time draws near for us to leave our Alma Mater, we wish to sincerely thank Dr. O’Brien for his patience and understanding, his inspiring presentation of all the subjects which he teaches, and his friendly interest in us all. Thirteen Claude M. Reed, Ph.C., B.A., A.M. Instructor in Chemistry Chemistry, so comprehensive a subject and so vitally connected with Pharmacy, begets a fascination and desire for its knowledge. Professor Reed’s encourage- ment of this attraction, demonstrated through his sincere interest in his department, and his ability to satisfy the receptive attitude of his “men”, through specialized study on his part, make him the ideal for his position. His willingness to see things from the student’s viewpoint in his realization of their yet embryonic background, makes him kindly tolerant, though not faultily con- descending, to our inaccuracies in so precise a subject. Needless to say, these qualities label him a favorite. Holmer L. Nelms, M.D. Instructor in Physiology and First Aid We all like Dr. Nelms. This is a plain but expressive and all-embracing statement. Who could resist that paternal interest, displayed both during lectures and in administering medical attention to so many of our stu- dents. His prominence as physician and surgeon enhance his qualifications to instruct others in the elements of physiology and emergency treatments. We feel indebted to him for giving us his precious time, for encouraging scholastic endeavors by his yearly award, and for his admission of his personal enjoyment in being with us. David Hutchinson, B.A., M.A., A.M., B.D., Ph.D. Lecturer in Jurisprudence and Political Science So versatile an education as is possessed by Dr. Hutch- inson, renders him a revered and esteemed associate of our college. His myriad experiences in teaching law and in actual legal procedures carry his lectures from the theoretical to the realistic and evoke confidence in him as an authority. His sense of humor in his amusing relations brings in the all-important refreshment in his lectures. Fourteen Fharmakon Janis L. Best, Ph.C., B.S., M.T. Instructor i?i Pharmacy This year marked the end of Miss Best’s instructorship in the pharmacy department, but the memory of her pleasant lectures and understanding guidance in the lab- oratory will long be remembered. Though her absence is keenly felt, wc wish her success and happiness in her new endeavor. To her successor, Miss Mary Davidge, we extend our heartfelt wishes for success. Lauren R. Hanmer, Ph.C.. B.S. Instructor in Materia Medica Botany The details of botanical nature are thoroughly under- stood and presented by Mr. Hanmer, affording the pharmacy students a background in the knowledge of materials utilized in their profession. From a personal angle, wc have found his informality an invitation to self-expression, and his courteous, gentlemanly manner in class, an inspiration for like conduct. John Dwyer, A.B., M.S., Ph.D. Professor of Biology Dr. Dwyer comes to us from St. Francis’ College, Brooklyn, having previously been a member of the faculty of Fordham University’s College of Pharmacy and graduate school. Having merited an A.B. degree from St. Peter’s College, Jersey City, his pursuit of still higher education was realized at Fordham Uni- versity, Columbia University and institutions in the midwest. We have found him to be keen of intellect, professional in demeanor, exacting in conduction, yet kindly patient in the lecture room. His efficiency is an asset to the students and to the prestige of our college. Fifteen Gesina A. F. De Hole, B.S., M.A. Instructor in Bacteriology and Serology The time-honored reputation of Southern cordiality is demonstrated to us by Miss De Holl. Master of her work, responsive to study and daily experience as the supervisor of the bacteriological unit of the Bender Laboratory, she represents an authority and is deemed as such by her pupils. Her background of general labor- atory knowledge brings forth those ever-ready and satis- fying answers; her characteristic sense of humor brings forth that ever-welcome and refreshing smile. Frederic Cowles Schmidt, Sc.M., Ph.D. Professor of Organic Chemistry Organic chemistry under the tutelage of Dr. Schmidt assumed a new and lively interpretation for the students this past year. His informal humor, practical psycho- logical approach, profound knowledge of his subject, and the diversity of his cultural interests made him a valu- able friend and instructor. Through these mediums, that which would otherwise prove so difficult an undertaking, became a thoroughly interesting and pleasant subject. Katherine E. Glavin Registrar All things gravitate to and from the main office and thus our associations with Miss Glavin are many and frequent. We find her always ready to be of service and cheerfully so. Her efficiency docs not permit of careless leniency but of patient inducement to compliance; her pleasing manner and sympathetic attitude arc more than appreciated by those of us with whom she comes in contact. Sixteen Pharmakon Harold W. Blodgett, A.B., A.M., Ph.D. Instructor in English Ever patient in his endeavors at evoking proper diction and grammatical accuracy, Dr. Blodgett presents a study of serenity and sincerity to his students. They appre- ciate his tolerance and efforts to make them glib in both oral and written English, and we arc certain these efforts have not been fruitless. Chester J. Terrill, Pd.B., B.A., M.A. Instructor in Accounting Professor Terrill’s training of the students in accuracy, in conjunction with the business of pharmacy, will not be confined to figures, but transferred to the scrupulous precision required of one in the art of prescription com- pounding. He is thus to be lauded for the formation of his all-important characteristic in our future pharmacists. John J. Clemmer, B.S., MX). Director of Bender Laboratory and Professor of Pathology The Bender Laboratory, offering Medical Technology studies and affiliated bacteriological work, is ably guided by Dr. Clemmer, its director. His desire to engage the interests of the students in acquisition of knowledge rather than credits, reveals a sincere interest in propa- gating to society such a benevolent work. He imparts this spirit to his co-workcrs, who thus unified, present a cor- related series of instructions. Seventeen Dr. William J. Martin, Jr., Ph.C., M.D. Instructor in Zoology On leave for military service. Uncle Sam has requested the services of this compe- tent local physician who is also a representative member of our faculty. The nature of his leave of absence will but raise our admiration of him and will make more jubilant the reassuming of his former duties. Dr. Martin’s conscientious endeavors in behalf of our education result in systematic teaching and comprehensive learning. Arthur G. Kemnitzer, B.S. Instructor in Biochemistry and Sterilization Exactitude in detail represents efficiency in scientific study. The careful supervision of our work by Mr. Kcmnitzer demands and encourages such procedures, for which training we are duly grateful to him. His precision and accuracy in calculations while lecturing or demonstrating, inspires in us a confidence in his ability. Self-confidence on our part automatically re- sulted, and through this we felt the satisfaction of accomplishment. John J. Marra, B.S., M.D. Instructor in Hematology Dr. Marra is the type of person one delights in meet- ing often. His quiet, friendly bearing manifests out- wardly an innate kindliness. These admirable traits make our sessions with him a pleasure 2nd render us more receptive to his instructions. With him, continuous prac- tical experiencing of what is taught constitutes no small asset to such a profession. Pharmakon NOW I WONDER IF PROF WANTS THE EQUATION FOR THAT REACTION Nineteen Alembic 'Twenty Pharmakon Senior Cla££ Class of June, 1945: The class of 1945 was the first at A.C.P. to be accelerated all the way. Entering in September, 1942 and graduating June 1, 1945, it represents the result of two years and eight months of almost unremitting toil on the part of class members and faculty alike. Other classes experienced acceleration during the latter part of their courses, and some there are yet to be heard from who are still undergoing it. But we claim the distinction of being the first unadulterated product. Time will tell how good a product; at present we only say, “It can be done”; the class, or the remnants of it after the armed services had taken their toll, graduated intact. From the original group of eighteen freshmen there were eight survivors. The first great inroad upon our membership occurred just after the final exams of the freshman year; seven army and navy reserve men were called up. Two others had left earlier that year, so that in June, 1943 we faced our first summer session as sophomores with less than half our number left. That year was a busy though uneventful one. We lost another member, “Arm” Cerro, to the navy reserve. Like those before us, we pondered over monocols, dicots, archegonia, and sporangiophores, sweltered over crucibles, and made the acquaintance of Ethyl and Ester. Once a week in the gym we pronc- pressured each other, set the broken bones, and did all else to win First Aid certifi- cates. By February we were juniors. The junior year saw us reduced to our lowest terms. “Phil” Erb and “Stew” Kaskcl joined the navy; the residue consisted of six pharmacists and two technicians. October 1, 1944 we were seniors, scarcely more than two years from the day we entered. It was somewhat bewildering. In that state we wandered through the mazes of incompatibilities and toxicology to find ourselves in May, 1945 seated, unbelievably, at our last examinations. A few days later we each stepped up for one brief moment upon the stage and tried to receive with dignity the precious white roll extended to us, tied with its maroon and white ribbon. Incredibly enough, it was over. As we look back now, in our newly acquired status of alumni, there are two main thoughts in our minds. First, we are conscious of our good fortune in having been permitted to realize an ambition that has been denied to so many of our own school and others during these recent years. We feel a responsibility inherent in this privilege—to make ourselves useful as soon as we can in this critical time. That we intend to do. The second thought uppermost in our minds is for our classmates (and our schoolmates of other classes, no less) serving in the armed forces. We have thought of them many times before. On D-day, and V-E day, our thoughts were with them, and scarcely any day passed without one of their name’s being men- tioned. But on graduation day most of all we thought of those who should have been marching into the auditorium with us. We can only hope that the day soon will come when they will all resume their places, and that we may be there to see them march in in their turn. Members of the Class of 1945 Serving in thf.

Navy Paul Mahoney, Navy Leo Mazeway, Navy Louis Rosario, Army George Shockley, Navy Gerald Wheeler, Navy Class of February, 1946: On June 28, 1943 fourteen innocent students, fresh from high school gradua- tion, entered the Albany College of Pharmacy. During the second week of the semester classes were organized and we elected the following officers: President...........................................James Davis Vice-President ...... William Wheelock Secretary ........ Jean Beaty Treasurer ........ Lorene Cole Historian ........ Harold Elliot Most of our freshman year was spent mastering Dr. O’Brien’s mathematical theories and disecting zoological specimens, but by the beginning of our sophomore year we were beginning to learn more pleasant ways of passing time. Jim Davis, leaving at the end of our freshman year, was the first member of our class to enter the armed forces. Twenty-two Ph irmakom In February', 1944 we were elevated to upperclassmen as we began our sopho- more year. At this time we were joined by Rudolph Del Giacco, a transfer from Siena College via the U. S. Navy. Class officers were: President...................................Harold Elliot Vice-President................................Jean Beaty We lost three members of our class to the Navy—Harry Clark, Joseph Gazzillo, and Joseph Ferro—leaving the fairer sex in the majority. In the spring our class took a botany hike to McGowan’s Grove to bring themselves in closer contact with Nature under Dr. Dwyer’s guidance. To climax our sophomore year, wc enjoyed a delightful outing with the other students on a boat trip on the Hudson River. In October we passed the halfway mark in our college career. Examinations were successfully passed, and we now, to our amazement, found ourselves to be juniors. Officers were: President..............................William Wiieelock Vice-President ....... Jean Beaty Secretary ........ Lorenf. Cole Historian ....... Norman Yaguda We had now gained some of the dignity and poise of the graduate members of our chosen profession. However, some of our exuberance was lost when Plarold Elliot, G. Robert Carney, and Norman Yaguda left us to join the armed forces. To aid in balancing this loss, our membership was reinforced by the addition of Vincent Grifo, a transfer from Fordham University. After attending two summer sessions, the entire class was looking forward to a prolonged summer vacation. The war made this impractical, so after a three-week vacation we were again found in the labora- tories arid lecture rooms of A.C.P. Seniors at last! Now the efforts of our professors to instill knowledge will come to fruition. We are looking forward to a gay year, our last within the portals of our Alma Mater. Senior class officers are: President ...... Rudolph Del Giacco Vice-President.........................William Wiieelock Secretary..................................Vincent Grifo Tr easurer ........

Thirty-thret Alembic Class $rop!jeq The scene is Heaven in the year 1990. It is the Day of Judgment for the A.C.P. classes of ’45 and ’46. Two angels are to be heard: “Calling the gate. What? There’s a mob waiting to get in? Well, tell me their names and keep them out for awhile. What time is it, anyway? Oh, we don’t keep track of time since Lorene came up here—Time never did matter to her, you know. How did she get here before the rest of the class of ’46? Oh, she invented a “cooling” system to keep icebergs from melting and just forgot when to turn it off. Joyce Myner? She was the one born with the “Art” of heartbreaking. And she became famous for writing “The Assets of Louisiana”. Anne Keenan liked to travel, and she won fame as a “Globe Trotter”, going off on her yacht when she became bored. What happened to Davidge anyway? Didn’t she teach at A.C.P.? Yes, and she enjoyed it, though her arrival here is due to an explosion in her laboratory. And Evelyn—she has been very happy after her marriage. She seemed to enjoy having “dickie” birds “foleying” her around all day. What kind of life did Roger Hess lead? “Rog” had his exciting moments, since instead of his license, he insisted on displaying the certificate he made “O.B.” write back in ’45 stating that he had passed Trig. Peggy Sassman was charged with putting dope in “Phillies” cigars- we’ll never know. Convinced by her years at A.C.P. of the need for a bottle spacer, Cert Maleski spent her spare time trying to perfect one. M.F. has come here directly from a hospital. She was driving along as usual when she suddenly forgot herself and turned her head too far to watch the car plus uniform going in the opposite direction. Schem has been busy raising a family of boys—all of whom went to the Academy and R.P.I. It seemed like old times, I hear, seeing her around those spots again. Thirty-four PJharmakon Rudy—he became a very successful M.D. and spent his spare time reading the play “Claudia”. Do you sec Georgiana? She painted pictures rivaling those of Varga! Bill Wheelock preserved those gay ties and finally acquired a famous collection of the more unusual ones. Irma spent the winters in California, irritating her friends in colder climates by accounts of swimming in January. Have you seen the ‘hit” blues singer of the century? That’s Liz Doyle. Armand, after a modest beginning, built up the well-known “Emma” chain of pharmacies. Remember Mary Gaudio? Despite her protests that it would never happen, she did settle down in a little white cottage. The dark-haired girl with the ready smile is our old friend, Betty. She became head pharmacist of a large hospital. Believe me, she killed few of her patients! Irv Engleman, after his election as Mayor of Ardsley, met an untimely end at the hands of angry citizens who didn’t seem to like his abolition of soda fountains in their fair city! Joan Evers was a very careful mother and, in the process, kept up her technique by doing blood counts on her “little ones”. Jean Beaty? She forsook her career in pharmacy for that tall, handsome husband and two little replicas of herself. Doug’s flashing smile was his best advertisement for “Peterson’s Peppy Tooth Powder”, a formula he developed in his private laboratories. Vince managed his pharmacy with the highest efficiency and found relaxation in occasional trips to New York, renewing old acquaintances. The girl with the dark curls? That’s Marge Du Charme. A B.S. was only the first of her educational accomplishments, but her interest's also included that interesting-looking ex-lieutenant. That’s all of them? Well, open the gate and the tabulations can begin.” Thirty-five Thirty-six Seated—Swider, Jackowski, Feluren, Shea. Standing—Brown, Marmor, Davis, Halsdorf. PhaFxnakoxi ji opf)omores It was Monday. July 3, 1944, and ten freshmen registered at the Albany College of Pharmacy. The class consisted of five boys and five girls. A few days after the registration, we were invited to attend a boat ride so that we could get acquainted with the rest of the students of A.C.P. To and Behold! They were human! We were only moderately stupid, and the professors only tore out part of their hair over us. In August the five girls in the class were initiated into the school sorority, Lambda Kappa Sigma. After a week of unusual incidents, they were formally received into the sorority. Following the mid-term one of the boys, Joseph Allen, left for the service. In return, we acquired two new classmates, Harvey Marmor and Earl Davis. In January two more boys in our class left. Joseph Crawley entered the Navy; and Arthur McCann, the Army. Our class at the present time consists of nine members, seven of the original members and two new ones. Nevertheless, we intend to keep up the standard of the class, so that our classmates in the service will be proud to say, “Good work!” A. L. S.

Pharmakon jfresrtjmen On October 2. 1944, the new freshman class of the Albany College of Phar- macy was enrolled. No one will forget the cordiality with which we were received by the faculty and student body. One of the first questions that was asked by us among the upperclassmen was whether or not there was going to be any enforcement' of “freshman rules”. To our surprise the answer was in the negative. The first student activity of the year was the election of class officers by the different classes. The freshman class elected the following: Robert Dyroff...................President Caryi. Hf.eder.............Vice-President Eleanor Downes ......... Secretary Edward Martin ......... Historian Thirty nine These officers remained in their respective offices the whole year and proved themselves worthy of every trust given to them. The only activity that was carried out' entirely by the freshmen was a picnic held on April 16th at Caryl Heeder’s home in the country. No one will forget how we roasted “hot dogs” over an open fire (in the rain) and how many Howie Slater and Bob Dvroff ate. Later in the day we played softball, the girls beating the fellows (it stopped raining). As the coming Sophomores our class has striven might and main to uphold the tradition of “A.C.P.” We participated in the sports, had representatives on the Student Council and almost took the scholastic honors away from the Seniors. In short', we feel that our class will easily adapt themselves as, Sophomores, and that we will be worthy representatives of our Alma Mater.

Preston and Madlyn De Marsh. The following fall their dream was realized when the membership jumped to thirteen. This year our membership totaled fourteen, and although we still cannot be called great, we are looking to the future, ever bearing in mind our motto, “Esse Quam Videre”—to be, rather than to seem.

Harvey Smith. Since its founding our fraternity has endeavored to unite pharmacists the country over for the mutual benefit of the individual pharmacist and the profession of pharmacy as a whole. It has been Kappa Psi’s aim throughout the years to promote ethical practice and to inculcate a spirit of appreciation and loyalty within the profession. This has been accomplished by uniting both students and graduates of pharmacy into a fellowship whose strength is based on fraternal association. In the past few years our chapter has been unable to retain a large membership because of war conditions. However, the few men remaining have devoted them- selves wholeheartedly and unselfishly to the task of maintaining the chapter’s active existence. Therefore, it is our goal to arouse in the beginning students of pharmacy an interest which recently has been lacking. In the near future we hope to attain an increasing membership which will be assurred by our increased activities. During the last year Brothers Robert Carney, Harold Elliot, and Robert Dyroff have left our group to serve in the armed forces. We all hope for their speedy and safe return. At a recent meeting the following officers were elected for the current year: Regent, William Wheelock; Vice-Regent, Rudolph Del Giacco; Secretary-Treasurer, Edward Martin. «ft Forty-seven Alembic Seated—Wheelock, Beaty, Engleman, Abare.

After the absence of a college newspaper for several years, the Mortar and Pestle was re-established by the Freshman class during the summer of 1944. In an effort to arouse student interest and to increase that most necessary attitude called school spirit, the newspaper presents accounts of school activities and athletic events, novelty columns directed toward adding zest and humor to school life, and miscellaneous features of general concern. We take this opportunity to thank all those whose interest and cooperation have helped the Mortar and Pestle achieve success. A. T. H. Forty-nine Alembic Fifty Pharmakom Sports Student enthusiasm for college participation in a major sport brought basketball again to Albany College of Pharmacy after being dormant for two seasons. Half of the male clement turned out for the first practice, and because of a late start all knowledge of the game’s finer points were contributed by the players. By the first scheduled game, a fighting five had been molded together, with three capable replacements. The 1944-45 season has now gone dow'n in A.C.P.’s history, but to all who attended the games, many thrills will be long remembered. The students who have longed to find a spark of school spirit found it flaming with fury at the weekly games, and few wall forget the season’s last game with Albany Law School. With the graduation of Rog Hess, Irv Engleman, Captain Doug Peterson, and Bill Wheelock, the success of next season falls to the four remaining lettermen and new material from the incoming freshmen. As a new season draws near, we hope a league can be formed composed of the colleges on our 1944-45 season’s schedule. Visitors A.C.P.

Camera Club A.C.P.’s Camera Club was under the guidance of Professor Reed, who willingly gave his time and helpful hints to the would-be photographers. Meetings were held every second Monday, their purpose being to instruct the members in the art of developing negatives and printing films. As the old saying goes, experience is the best teacher. We’re sure one member will never forget the half hour she spent developing the paper covering of the film. Believe it or not, developing film is good character training. Inserting film in the circular spool of the tank when the light is completely blacked out, requires the utmost patience. To create a spirit of competition, a Picture of the Month Contest was attempted. The winning snapshot was displayed in the Pharmacy Store window. Many of the pictures appearing in this yearbook were taken by club members. - M. E. D. Fifty-two Alumni gteoctatton Because of transportation restrictions, no meeting of the alumni was held during 1945. The next regular meeting is scheduled for February, 1946, when commencement exercises will be held for the present senior class. Nearly 300 members are in service at the present time., many of whom have visited the college during the past year. The alumni have continued their financial support to the college, making possible the inauguration of a reserve fund for special purposes to overcome the deficits occasioned by the present limited enrollment. Currently the Association is participating in the Education Fund Campaign sponsored by the New York State Pharmaceutical Association for the benefit of the colleges of pharmacy in New York State. The officers elected in 1944 were continued for the present year and will remain in office until the next annual meeting in 1946. These officers are as follows: Harry Honikf.t., ’98 Ethel Rasmuson, ’20 William Lippman, ’22 Lauren Hanmer, ’30 Francis O’Brien, ’20 Claude Reed, ’32 . . President .

Fifty-three Alembic Fifty-four Pharmakoia peer Some people rave of turkey dinners, caviar, and choice fritters. But for me and others, too, Pour a tall, thin glass of amber brew. There is nothing so refreshing and palatable, Yet so stimulating and zestful. Imagine a frosted tankardful of this savory liquid. Overflowing exhuberantly in a cap of white foam. “Yes, ’tis a consummation devoutly to be wished.” A few people, predominantly women, With apparently little acumen, After lowering a tongue quite timid, Have retired to say, “Plow bitter!” To ignore these critics might be unjust, But to answer might provoke thirst. So I shall conclude this little ditty, And instead of soliciting pity, I shall leave a thought not unwitty. That if you prefer guzzling—or even sipping, as women do, Switch right now to amber brew. R. R. J. D. Fifty-five Jfresfjmen Jforeber We wish we’d be Freshmen forever. We live in ignorant bliss. Our lessons never bother us, Though always they’re amiss. Now, Buck just shakes his curly head. “I don’t know,” he replies, “The length of the hypotenuse, Or wherein its value lies.” “Do you know, Mr. Slater?” Doctor hopefully asks. “Well. I’d rather tell you later When I’ve completed other tasks.” Then—“Do you know, Mr. DvrofT?” “Well, no, I don’t think so. In high school when that stuff came off, To class I didn’t go.” “But this is very1 easy,” O.B. chimes in again. “You surely know the answer, Don’t you, Miss Sullivan?” “I really thought T knew it, But now it’s slipped my mind. Maybe Mary can do it; She once explained that kind.” “All right, Miss S., the floor is yours To determine the solution.” “Well, I was sure it wasn’t hard, But it was an illusion.” lie sighs, “And you. Miss Tomlinson,” “Gee, it’s the vne I couldn’t get. If you’d only ask me another, I could answer that, I bet.” “Snyder, Abel, and Canaday ? Cardwell, Scire, Mack? 1 guess I’d better call it a day. Is anyone holding back ?” “I’ve asked you over and over again, And none of you seemed to know. A hectic day, this has been— O.K. Tell ’em, Joe.” Atlantis Many centuries ago there was a mystic island lying west of the Pillars of Hercules. Mentioned in the “Timaeus” of Plato as a large and powerful kingdom existing some nine thousand years before the birth of Solon, this land was finally overwhelmed by the sea. From ancient times many similar legends have been current in Europe, and some writers have believed them to have a basis of fact. Shall we drift back through the mists of the ages to this forgotten land of prehistoric times? Ah! Look! You can just perceive the emerald gleam of the city gates which are slowly lowering into the ground as we float along on the wings of the past. In the center of this mystic city we see a magnificent emerald palace with red and yellow flags fluttering in the fragrant breeze. As wc approach the palace, a cloud of crimson smoke arises from the entrance, and a robot in shining emerald metal clanks forward to greet us: “His Supreme Infinity awaits you within.” Two similar metal giants appear from nowhere and proceed mechanically forward to lead us into the throne room. Wc step cautiously onto a moving crimson carpet after the robots, and we are whisked smoothly through sky blue corridors. Finally we emerge into a huge room with gorgeous draperies on the walls in delicate pastel shades. The floor is a mirror-like jade-green, and at the farther end of the room is a gigantic square face with opalescent eyes which glare as we approach. Suddenly a thunderous voice comes from all sides of the room: “Stop!” The entire floor of the room lowers, revealing a red robot of tremendous proportions, and we stand overpowered while once again the breath-taking voice says, “You are about to witness the downfall of the greatest civilization in the entire universe!” Suddenly without warning, a rending ar.d soul-crushing boom and crash produce a rush of air, and we are hut tied high above the magical island to witness an enormous eruption enveloped by clouds of green and yellow smoke. After the last mists have cleared, we sec nothing but the rolling waves of the Atlantic which dissolve into waves of vapor across the infinite expanses of time. E. W. D. Fifty-seven AlemMc W )tn 3 TOnfe of tf)e Cttp When I think of the city I think of the New Scotland Avenue bus in the early morning, the school kids on that bus carrying their textbooks and lunch pails, the short walk to the brick building with a tree in the middle of the cement walk, the delivery truck pulling up with a load of smelly frogs, the rhythm of Boogie-Woogie sounding from the girl’s lounge, shouts from the gym where a murderous game of college basketball is going on, the scared voice of a student reading a paper, a profes- sor dictating notes on the function of the spinal cord, the scratching of pencils on a large mimeographed sheet, the blue flame of the bunsen burner and the odor of chemicals, and then the ring of the dismissal bell releasing us into a cold, white day beginning to disappear behind a silhouette of tall, black buildings. When I think of the city I think of the large department stores, the lavender and fuchsia clothes in the windows of the women’s shops, the corner drug stores with their busy soda fountains, the shoeshine boy on the corner, the crowds of office workers at noon, a big Irish policeman directing traffic, the greatness of the tall buildings, the gay-colored taxis speeding down the avenue, the noise of the trolley, the newsstand with its variety of the latest magazines, the bakery shops, the novelty shops, the hat shops, the cry of the newsboy with the evening paper, the yellow lights that appear at twilight, the odor of food from the restaurants, lines of black, shiny automobiles, the gay neon signs, couples walking along the street, the brilliance of the theaters, and the blackness of the sky which makes the already bright lights brighter.

Bill and Mary Saltsman today: They were single and went walking, And her heart did skip a beat. As she stumbled on the sidewalk, “Willy” murmured, “Careful, Sweet.” Same scene ten years hence: Now the wedding bells have rung, And they walk the same street, As she stumbled on the sidewalk, “Willy” yelled, “Pick up your feet.” Dr. Schmidt in Organic Lab: “Now- in case anything should go wrrong with this experiment, wc and the laboratory with us will be blown sky-high. Now come a little closer, class, in order that you may follow me.” “Well, my boy,” said Mr. Slater, “how are you getting on at school?” Ilis son, Howie, looked a trifle despondent. “Oh, not so bad, Dad,” he replied. “I’m trying awfully hard to get ahead.” “That’s good,” said his father. “You need one.” Irv: “What kind of pudding is this?” Waiter: “That’s a college pudding, sir.” Irv: “Well, there’s an egg in it that should have been expelled.” Prof. Reed: “How do you tell the difference between these two acids?” Bob Dyroff: “By the labels on the bottles, naturally.” Claudia: “Rudy, if you wrant to kiss me, you’ll have to take that cigar out of your mouth.” Rudy: “That’s not a cigar; that’s my nose.” A certain professor speaking to his class about to take an exam: “This exam wall be done on the honor system, so please sit three seats and four rows apart.” Frosh: “Which would you rather be, an oyster or a college student?” Rog Hess: “A college student, of course. An oyster only gets stewed once in its life.” Stranger: “Such an extraordinary profile. Would you pose for me?” Hank Marmor: “Oh, are you a portrait painter?” Stranger: “No, I make silhouettes for Hallowe’en decorations.” Fifty-nine Alembic Wanted: A man—preferably in his twenties, 6 feet, 2 inches tall, brunette, brown-eyed and who has a predilection to children.

I’ll bake you a sponge cake right away.” Prof. Hanmer: “Really, Buck, your handwriting is terrible. You must learn • i jj to write better. Buck Martin: “Well, if I did, you’d find trouble with my spelling.” Vclda: “There arc just two things wrong with your dancing.” Vince: “What are they?” Velda: “Your feet.” The last word in Algebra: Hess: “A circle is a round line with no kinks in it, joined up so not to show where it began.” Peterson: “You’re crazy. A circle is a line which meets its other end without ending.” Of Materia Medica: Emma: “The flower has five parts: sepals, pedals, antlers, pistol, and trigger. Observer’s Notes: We don’t mind Vince Grifo’s practicing the art of osculation in his sleep, but he should realize it is causing hardship. Ilis roommate, feeling quite high, w’alked in during one of these sessions and being very considerate, slept under the bed all night. After failing to convince anyone that “Forever Amber” is the best book of the year, Prof. Hanmer is now working on Jerry.
