Bauman FACULTY ADVISER MISS FANCHON HART 12 THE CLARION $anwarh IN publishing this first issue of the CLARION it has been the con- stant aim and endeavor of the editors to place before our fellow students a book which would be an ever-lasting remembrance of the days when the College of Pharmacy was our home. In the pages that follow, the activities, joys, hopes, pathos and humor of the Class of 1920 have been faithfully recorded. We want each student to feel that it is his or her book, and that we, as editors, are only expressing the opinions of the class. We desire that in years to come, when glanc- ing thru these pages you will live over again those scenes, which, tho common every-day experiences now, will then be a treasure box of pleasant memories. We will be amply repaid if the classes of the future will follow our precedent an issue each year a similar book and thus keep alive the spirit of cooperation and comradeship of the Class of 1920. L. P T tl E C L A 1 I N 13 THE one outstanding thing that impresses a newcomer to the College of Pharmacy is a thing that is conspicuous by its absence, namely College Spirit. The general attitude of the average student attending the college is not much different from that of a fellow taking a business course at night school. He is attending college when he is not working rather than working in his spare college hours. As a result he experiences about as much of that life that men, old men, like to talk about, namely those good old college days, as the average plumber does. We have an excellent faculty, men who are leaders in their par- ticular branch of study. We have a set of laboratories unequalled in any similar institution throughout the entire country. We have a course of study the most complete of any given anywhere and the men we graduate stand among the leaders of their profession. Still something is missing. If you will sit down and do some real hard thinking, I believe that you will arrive at the same conclusion that I have. It is athletics we need. Clean healthy sports serve as nothing else can to tie the heart-strings of the student body fast to the school. You can hold a dance and you will get quite a few who will spend a pleasant evening stepping to the tune of a jazz orchestra. You can hold a smoker and you will get the other half of the class who do not enjoy dancing, but if you want to get them all and get them right, you ' ve got to have athletics. True, every one can ' t be on the team, but nevertheless, every one can be a rooter. When a fellow sees the team representing his school go on the field he seems to have a feeling of ownership and pride in it. When his team makes a good play, you ' ll find him up in the air, pounding the fellow next to him on the back, and throwing away a perfectly good five dollar hat without even thinking about it. And should you ask him about the game a few years after he graduated, you would invariably find he could tell you pretty nearly every play made, and show a good amount of spirit even then. Tell me, did you ever hear of a College of Pharmacy man displaying that much pep? If there is one he deserves a medal for he is certainly an unusual specimen. Of course. I realize the disadvantage at which we are placed, coming to school only three days a week, and without 14 THE CLARION either gym or campus. But to use a classic expression, Robert Fulton built the first steamboat with a pen knife and a hammer, and where there ' s a will, there ' s a way. If there were enough red blooded men in the College of Pharmacy who wanted a football team, and were willing to work after they got it. I don ' t think there would be very much trouble in getting permission to use the gridiron in Central Park. Of course it is too late for the present Senior Class to do anything, but if those men who intend to follow the three year course and the present Juniors get together what a lot could be accomplished. Think it over University men and Juniors. — Jack Lawlev. BtttWBB THE ultimate goal which spurs on every individual to his or her best is that mystic and wonderous word Success. It is the most precious gift of Dame Fortune, and we must be ever mind- ful that she does not bestow such gfts upon us for the mere asking. The road to success is a long and narrow path, which can only be reached by perpetual perserverance and conscientious work, or to use a popular expression, bull dog tenacity, and stick-to-itiveness. Unfortunately it has been the opinion among some of us that the only obstacle between us and success, is that preliminary step in life, which in our case is a two year college course. In realty, however, our college life represents the happiest days that we shall ever have, for upon its termination we shall have to face the world, we shall be thrown upon our own resources to overcome those difficulties which daily arise, and it is then that the real test begins. To reach the top of the ladder in one spurt is impossible. We must climb step by step, and wit h utmost caution. For us the chances of success in Pharmacy, are better than ever before in the history of the profession. The public has begun to realize that the pharmacist is a professional man, and he is now receiving a salary which is relative to his standing in the social scale. Chances of advancement are always within his grasp, and best of all, his hours are now regulated so that he may lead the life of a human being. Eventually, and it is sure to come, Pharmacy will be placed on a par with professions such as Medicine. Legislative movements and daily additions are steadily being made to the College Entrance Re- quirements which will inevitably raise Pharmacy in the estimation of the public. So therefore fellow students, let us get together and pull for the one grand rise of Pharmacy, which will indirectly mean the personal success of each and every one of us. Put forth your best endeavors for Pharmacy and your labors will be repaid by an inde- pendent position in the social world. By F. Monteferrante. T HE C LA RIO X 15 16 THE C LA RIO N By JACK LAWLEY SHE was just an opening rose bud, cultivated in a loving- family. and surrounded by cultured friends. Finding life a friendly path- way and its trials mere mole holes, easily overcome. He was plain, cold and untutored in the ways of social pleasantrys. His mind was miles and miles from his body, spending much of his time alone, and when in company, generally with men older than him- self. As a pastime he studied life. In short the girl — A charming belle. The boy — A plain man ' s man. At fates decree, like the opposite poles of a magnetic needle, these two opposites were drawn together. To the girl he was a new acquaintance, — to the boy she was a new study. They met at a social gathering and mere acquaintance grew into friendship. They called themselves pals, and tho they spent much time together they remained — just pals. She to whom he was just one more in a long list of friends soon tired of his companionship and as gently as the Arabs who noiselessly told their tents and silently slip away, so gradually did their moments together become less frequent, and another more fortunate man. more apt in the handling of such delicacies stepped in. He, to whom she had been but a study, now caused him to ex- perience, not an affection but rather a relationship which can only be crudely termed, real friendship, a zest to watch and protect, to be an unseen and unknown promoter of her interests, to be the silent avenger of her wrongs, and in return accept — nothing. THE CLARION 17 To him the silent breaking off of close fellowship had failed to inspire jealousy, but rather tended to strengthen the friendship, and also to send him back to the seclusion of his previous isolated life. Time in its cruel way stole away their youth. It placed the girl in a home, surrounded with all the comforts that money could buy ami a devoted husband. — the man who had stepped in as the boy stepped away. The Boy with an ever unsatisfied lust for power had entered the business world at the bottom rung and thru these long years had forced his way up until we see him a predominating master of industry, guiding in his masterful way the fortunes of a million homes. He had never married. Men who met him either in business or at his clubs called him a woman hater, but were afraid for their own interests to even mention the subject to him. Could they but have read the inner soul of this mighty man, or have seen him in the quiet of his home, seated befor£ the open fire place of his study, gazing into a small faded snapshot of a beautiful girl, knitting and smiling, they would have found an entirely different man and also the cause for a great calamity which was soon to happen. To him it was but an interesting game. His experience had carried him thru innumerable similar cases and he feared nothing of this one. To the husband it was quite the opposite. His creditors realizing the power and resources of his opponent were not so willing to take chances and he was hard put. The crisis was on. The husband had converted every possible asset into ready currency, and it was only then that he realized his weakness. Too well he knew that failure would make him an absolute pauper and place him with his family in the most destitute of conditions. With the Boy it was different. Locked up in his study, he was again gazing at that little picture and waging in his master mind a mighty battle. In his great mentality he held up a filmy balance. In one pan lay the owner and wealth of his life ' s work, the acme of his boyhood ambitions, and the prospect of comfort and pleasure in his re- maining years. In the other pan lay the Flower he cherished above all other things in the world, — the Pal of Yesterday. The dip of the balance was clear, for the one far outweighed the other. He reached for his pen, and jotting down a few instructions to his secretary. Taking a small valise he departed for parts unknown, to begin again from the bottom. The storm broke out, but ended soon. A great crash on the one side, and a mighty upheaval on the other. The husband stepped smilingly into enormous wealth and power. The Boy equally as happy into poverty. He had been put to the test of real friendship and had found himself equal to it. True friendship is not expressed by the exchange of labelled pres- ents or costly gifts, but rather by the silent sacrifice for another ' s happiness. 18 THE CLARION ©0 A Hobp C Jfrnitrrarun Thru life, in ever)- land and clime, The Rose has had its share. In song, in prose, in beauteous rhyme, Of glory great and honor rare. And now this song to one I write, The fairest of them all, A dainty rose with petals white, And fragrance that enthralls.

THE CLARION 19 A CA5E IT ' S no use Anne, either you come across or the doctor will know. But I can ' t give you any money. Oh yes you can. the Doctor loves you, and all you have to on is to ask him. Besides I can ' t live forever on the thousand you last gave me. But I can ' t ask him tor any more, I can ' t. I can ' t. Well it ' s up to you. I ' ll be here at nine tonight. You ' d better have the money or The telephone bell rang in the doctor ' s office in the next room, Yes. this is Doctor Alexander. What? He ' s dead, heart gave away, eh? Poor chap, he ' s better off. Alright. I ' ll be right over. Goodbye. I must go now. Remember. I must have the money. and Langdou departed as the doctor entered. Anne dear. I must go over to the Edgewater Hospital now, I ' ll be back late. Don ' t wait up for me. What ' s wrong dear, you ' re not feeling well lately. Nothing, it ' s nothing. I feel tired from shopping all day. Well, go to bed now and have a good night ' s rest. Goodbye. Good night John. The evening wore slowly on for Anne, and she found herself looking at the clock every few minutes. Now it was nine and Langdon. her former servant, would be here in a short time. She thought of the past and what it meant if her husband should find out. When she was nineteen she had met James Crane, handsome, fascinating and wealthy. After a short courtship they were married, and then Anne realized her mistake. Her husband turned out to be a gambler and soon his wealth, which he had inherited, was gone, and he took to drink. Anne stood all his ill treatment until she could bear it no longer and ran away. She obtained a position in Edgewater hos- pital, having graduated from a training school before she was married. Here she met Dr. Alexander and true love came into her life. She was afraid to tell him of her previous marriage for fear of losing his love, so when he proposed, she accepted without saying anything of her 20 THE CLARION past. The servant of her former home had secured a position with Dr. Alexander, and used his knowledge to blackmail Anne. She was interrupted in her thoughts by the entrance of the servant. Well, where ' s the money. I couldn ' t ask him for any more, she pleaded. I must have it, he shouted, there ' s a ring on your finger that would bring a few thousands. Let ' s have it. But it ' s a gift from the doctor, you wouldn ' t take that. Oh, what ' s the difference. Come, I can ' t stay here all night. The door opened, and the doctor entered. He appeared surprised to see his wife crying in the presence of his servant. What ' s wrong Anne? he asked. Langdon answered for her. Mrs. Alexander employed me to buy 20 shares of Union Steel, and now she refuses to pay me the $2000. Anne, are you indebted to this man for that amount. She did not answer. The doctor sat down and wrote a check, and was about to hand it to the servant when Anne cried out, Don ' t give him the check, he lied. I don ' t owe him a cent. We ' ll see about that, answered Langdon, he stepped out into the hall and returned leading a blind man by the arm. It can ' t be, cried Anne, take him away, take him away. Who is this man, the doctor asked. My first husband, she answered tearfully. I thought he was dead and was afraid to tell you. And she told him the whole story. Oh ! John, can you ever forgive me. You see doctor, interrupted Langdon, what it would mean to have this man come back to his senses. He was struck on the head a few years ago and has never recovered. His eyes were injured in the same accident. I have been caring for him since, and I know that if an operation were performed his eyesight and senses could be restored. Either you give me $3000. or as this man ' s lawful guardian. I demand that you perform the operation, as a result — bigamy, and your reputa- tion ruined. And suppose I refuse to operate? Then the world would want a reason. You ' d better make it five thousand, doctor. Well, I ' ll operate, and if this man has the slightest sense of honor, he will make you keep quiet. Oh, no you don ' t, now you want him on the table to finish him, eb ? I forbid you to touch this man. Anne, who had been quiet all this time, started up and said, As this man ' s lawful wife I request you to operate upon him. THE CLARION 21 The doctor rang for an assistant, and ordered the operating- table to be prepared. The blind man fell to the doctor ' s feet, Oh doctor, please don ' t operate on me, I ' m not James Crane, I ' m his twin brother. I was broke and he forced me to do this. Let me go and I ' ll never come back here again. Please forgive me doctor. That ' s all right, my man, I knew you were not Tames Crane, I operated on your brother successfully and I ' m in luck again, I ' ll make his brother talk, and Langdon faced the doctor with a defiant air. Too late, unfortunately he died this afternoon after having told all he remembered of his former life before the accident. You ' d better go now. before I telephone for the police. They knew they were beaten, and went out slowly, the doctor closing the door after them. Don ' t cry Anne, I freely forgive you. From Crane ' s description I knew that you were his wife. He told how he had ill treated you and he hoped that you would find a husband who would make you happy. So you see that it has all turned out for the best. Are you happy dear ? ' For the answer, she nestled closer in his arms. m - Nigljt The pur ' pling haze of twilight spreads Eerily across both swamp and hill. The wood dove ' s song unto his mate Sounds like an anthem for the dead. The sable stole of night descends; The air is still and mystic scents From cedar, spruce and tamarack Arise, as incense from a holy fane. From behind a cloud proud Luna peeps, The little creatures of the night. Raise a last Te Deum to their God ; Then all the world is plunged in sleep. -Joseph Rynar ' 21. 22 T H E C I.

THE CLARION 23 (gallery of (Uplebrtttes IT is a well-known fact that every bee-hive has its drones as well as its workers. And so it is with the College of Pharmacy. There are those who thru fate or circumstances have been forced to sit back and watch the workers run the smokers, arrange the dances, and edit the publications. Then even among the active men there are those who have dune more than the rest, those whose sole desire was to benefit the class and to whom no personal sacrifice was too great if by it they could increase the welfare of their fellow-students. To those we dedi- cate the following pages as a fitting tribute for their sacrifices, and their names shall always stand out in the Hall of Fame of the College of Pharmacy. They were elected by class vote from a list of fifteen can- didates who were selected on the basis of activity, popularity and scholarship. Five have been chosen from the Second Year Class, two from the third year University Class, and one from the Junior Class. We say no more about them for their records tell the tale. And now Ladies and Gentlemen, with your kind permission, allow us to present the College ' s best the Celebrities of 1920. 24 THE CLARION MISS ROSE LEIN It is not thru courtesy, but because she deserves it that Miss Lein is given the honor of head- ing the list. Also the fact that she is a resident of New Jersey does not seem to hamper her popularity in the least. From what we could learn she is the youngest girl in the class. However, we wouldn ' t dare ask a lady about her age; we know better. To start off with her activities. Miss Lein has done faithful ser- vice as secretary of the Class for two years. She has been on the Board of Editors of the Nucelus during 1919 and 1920 occupying the position of Associ- ate Editor in Chief. On Junior Night she was awarded the Sec- ond Prize for General Scholar- ship and also a Fifty Dollar Note (Continued MR. BENJAMIN McMABE It ' s worse than pulling teeth to get a little information out of Mr. McCabe. He is so modest he didn ' t want to give us his record. But we have part of it here any- way. He entered college in the Fall of 1917 and in recognition of his ability and deservedness he was elected President of his Class. Under his leadship the class had a very successful year. In 1918 he answered the call to the colors, and although a Pharmacist, he joined the Infantry. After ten months service he returned to his studies. He is quite a veteran in Pharmacy -having been four- teen years in the profession. Mr. McCabe is a very fast worker, and is quite willing to admit it himself. We don ' t know just what he means by very fast, but at any rate lookout, girls. on Page 1011 THE CLARION 25 MR. ABRAHAM TAUB Taub is one of those quite, mod- est little fellows who believes in saying little and doing much. If Silence is Golden he must be paying a heavy income tax. He is considered the friend of everybody for the simple reason that he possesses that quality so elusive to many of us — diplomacy. That he has been an active worker the following record cannot fail to show. He was on the arrangement committee of both the Junior and Senior Dances. As one of the founders of the Nucelus he did much to make it the splendid success that is was. During his Senior Year he became Business Manager of the Clarion. And just to show that a man need not sacrifice his studies to be socially active he captured first prize for General Excellence on Junior (Continued MR. HARRY TAUB Fame seem to be one of the main traits of the Taub family. If there were five of them in the col- lege, the chances are that they would monopolize the Gallery of Celebrities. However, to get back to the gentleman in question, we have no doubt that the day he was born, humor must have been very bountiful, for he surely got his share and some more besides. Everyone who has read the Per- sonals can easily appreciate this fact. It is no easy matter to write the truth and live to tell the tale. Only a real humorist could do it. Harry started in the Junior Year by becoming Assistant Edi- tor-in-ChJef of the Nucelus, and was one of the mainstays thruout the year. On Junior Night to keep up the traditions of the Taub Family he won 3rd Prize for Gen- eral Excellence. During his Sen- on Page 101) 26 T H E C L A RIO X MR.

We cannot give all the activities of Ponty for if we did, he would monopolize most of the pages of this book, so we will give only a partial list. He was a member of the Ar- rangement Committee of the Jun- ior Dance 1919, and of the Senior Dance of 1920.

To say that every one enjoyed themselves is putting it too mild. The truth of the matter is that every one was having such a generously good time that they didn ' t stop and consider how really good it was. To an observer standing in the balcony and looking down on that wonderful maze of beautiful and smiling faces and luxurious gowns, it resembled a might) ' ocean. One moment lead into mighty fury by the tantalizing jazz of a snappy one-step, then calming down to a less rapid rush of a Blue fox-trot, only to be finally drawn into the ebb- of a wonderful-rolling-dreamy-glide waltz. It was said of our last dance that it served to bring the individual of the class together and create a feeling of fellowship, and indeed that .was quite true, but this dance served a greater purpose ; that of bringing together not only the Seniors, but also the Juniors and the outside world. The hall was a work of beauty. To begin with, it was beautifully decorated with college banners and fraternity emblems, furnishing an excellent stage for the wonderful display of graces. As the siren who draws you on and on away from yourself and then suddenly disappears into space, so the orchestra which had carried us away from our petty selves into the mystic realm of happiness and joy. snapped us off and back to earth with the melancholy strains of Home Sweet Home before we realized that our time was up. and must leave to cherish only in memory one evening well spent.

And while we are discussing dry subjects, let us say that there were just as many loads carried away that evening as at last year ' s smoker, even though we did have only 5% beer, which just goes to show that a pint on the hip is worth a barrel in your friend ' s cellar. The program started off with Kitty Van, whose singing and kissing made quite a hit with the boys. Then came Dave Allmen, who cracked mite a few jokes, some of which though quite deep, went high above the heads of a number of us. Next on the bill was Peggy Carrol in a song and dance act, and last but not least came Zamora, the wild woman from Honolula. whose shimmy made the old men of the class feel voting again. These acts were interspersed with a few lively, scrappy, three minute bouts featuring: Rosenberg and Grecco (heavyweights) and Steir and Ehrenberg (lightweights). The former two gave a wonderful exhibition of the manly art of self defense and also offense — mostly the latter. Then came the eats ; and all those who had a hearty meal before partaking of the sandwiches were not in danger of starvation, but those who neglected to do so — well, at any rate there were no cases iif acute indigestion, although there were a number of cases of beer. Due credit for the success of the affair, especially the financial end •of it, must be erven Messrs. Gans, Bauman and Fleischman. A VOW.

THE CLARION THE CLARION THE SENIOR UNIVERSITY CLASS. Ladies and Gentlemen: We have with us this year a Fourth Year Class — something which has not existed in the college for the past two years. The class is not large, but that which it lacks in quantity it makes up in quality. Its students are so modest that we could not get them to tell us their achievements, so we can only give you a part of their history. First on the list we have Miss Elizabeth Kish, and we can truly say that she overthrows the old theory about beauty and brains never being combined. Miss Kish received her Ph. G. and Ph. Ch. last year, and will receive her B. S. in Phar. this year. At the college Commence- ment she was awarded the Lillian Lieterman Gold Medal and at the University. Commencement she won the George J. Seabury Scholar- ship providing for her tuition during the fourth year. In the other half of the class we have Mr. Moritz A. Dirmar— modest, quiet and extremely studious. He lives on chemistry, and can only digest his meals when he is reading a book. At the University Com- mencement, he not only won the Kappa Psi Gold medal but also the Max J. Breitenbach Prize of $200.00 for the highest proficiency during the third year. Both Miss Kish and Mr. Ditmar are at present competing for the Plaut Fellowship entitling the winner to a year ' s tuition at a foreign university, and from present indications it is hard to tell which of them will win it. As a last word, we might even venture to say that it would not surprise us in the least i f in the near future we heard that Madame Curie and Prof. Wiley were fearing the competition of our Fourth Year University Class.

' 1 he class of 1920 is born! The Gods above approved, for the day was balmy and warm. What power and fortune lay in store for the class, the following brief resume alone will tell. Ourl first day was a crowning success. YVe so impressed Prof. Mansfield — who has since departed from our midst — that he gave a birthday party in our honor. It was in the form of a tourbiological ex- pedition to the foreign wilds of New Jersey. Here we managed to be- come acquainted with each other while exploring the ruins of Fort ■ Lee. First impressions generally last, an old adage starts ; therefore, we were given another party the next week. This time we remained in America and explored the Swamps of City Island. Here — we record a historical note — General Dan Shaw — prizefighter by trade, chemist by avocation — proved his stragic abilities — by capturing our mas- cot — a genuine horseshoe crab. The class of ' 20 first organized here. Soon after, class elections were held and the following officers installed : — President Leon Jaffe Vice President Louis Ensler Secretary Anna Lichtman Treasurer Helen M. Kean Faculty Adviser Prof. Mansfield Time passed quickly until November rolled around. The social activities again interrupted our studious inclinations. The class of twenty was tendered a sumptuous banquet and smoker by the Second and Third Year University classes. What, grand and glorious beer ! ! Impetus was expedited, and as a result — The Biology Club. — The Biology Club met on the first Tuesday of each month. After supper was served, the members danced until they were tired with the four ( ?) fair sex and then advanced to the lecture hall where lec- tures on scientific topics are held. The grand finale came after exams, when the club had a blowout after one of the meetings. The members were guests of the Maytime cast at a performance. Then they adjourned for beer! ! Our last outing was taken near the end of the year when we travel- led to the A. D. S. plant to enjoy their famous fish cakes. During our second year, the S. A. T. C. occupied most of the time. The results of the Sweet And Tender Children are well known. During our third year, however, the class was enlarged by members who were in the war service. Since this was our third and last year. 34 T HE C LA RIO K social activities gave way to studies. As a result, after the class was organized with Bill Kropnitsky as President, Helen McKean as Vice President, Anna Lichtman as Secretary, and Louis Ensler as Treasurer with Dr. Diekman to guide us thru troublous times, the class ran; an entertainment for the 1st year university class at Earl Hall and called it a year ' s work. It is to be hoped that the memorable class of Twenty will make pro- visions for a permanent organization. It should not be hard to keep twenty four students together. Nevertheless may the class prosper as years roll by and blessings come forth upon our beloved Alma Mater.

Y.), I found on my desk a notice of the Twentieth annual reunion dinner of the class of 1920 C. U. C. P. A thrill of pleasure ran thru me. What a pleasure to hear of my pals ' successes from their own lips! What a pleasure to meet old faces! Naturally, I went. The result was the renewing of old acquaintances and hearing the tales of success from each. Just as I entered the portals of the chamber. I was approached by a man long-haired and lanky of body — Dan Shaw — now editor of the Bolshevistik paper ' Pzremzer. ' Dan invited me to listen to his speech in Cooper Square. He is going to spe ak on the ' Inequality of the Masses. ' Max Hertz, I understood, is going great guns on his new job as butler for Anthony J. Greco. You remember when Mac started to grow his sideboards way back in ' 20, don ' t you? Tony — or as he is now known — A. J. is certainly ' there. ' I understand that he made a fortune making booze on the sly. Oh, by the way — Mrs. Robt. A. Green, nee Miss H. McKean is send- ing her son Bob Jr. to C. U. C. P. to follow the steps of his illustrious mother Helen, some class I ' ll say. I heard that Sol Bernstein had made a great success with his nail polish. I understand that Abe Kohl is associated in the venture with him. Abe is still the ethical man he was in ' 20. Aaron Shigon, Joe Montesano and Fritz Alter have formed a new company to produce their own drugs. It is known as the Alshimont Chemical Co. If they get along as well as they did in ' 20, woe betide the company ! Wm. Kropnitsky — our illustrious president — is manufacturing baby dolls. He worked until he got some experience and has now started a factory of his own. He turned out four during the last year. Then a flash appeared on the horizon in the form of Eugene Searle. who, I ascertained, has become a president of a dye corporation on Barren Island. Searle has just patented a new scheme for converting garbage and refuse into dyes. However, Searle, looks more like the president of a brewery. Eigenmacht and Levy have gone into the sugar profiteering adven- ture. And as sidelines are manufacturing C. C. Pills for diversion. Aggie is still the same theotrical critic of the past. T H E C LA R I O X 37 Then that grand old man — Herb Kassner grasped my hand. He has succeeded Prof. Amy as instructor of Industrial Chem. Prof. Arnv has retired after 65 years of teaching, being now 85 years old. Herb is very dignified and wears his moustache like Dr. Schaefer. Rosy Rosensweig is still as tubby as of yore. He and Anna — I beg your pardon — Mrs. Rosensweig are busy planning careers for the triplets they were blessed with last year. Dr. Josephson has just isolated the germ-zeropllycoccus. It has af- flicted professors since the year 1. Posterity will ever be thankful to him. Mr. George Wilson is now laboratory assistant in the Pharmacy Lb. He has made quick advances during the last 20 years. Louis Ensler was too modest to tell me of his success, but, it is ru- mored that he made a quarter of a million selling his worldly famous ' soup sandwich. ' Wit h a rush. Henken seized my arm, and told me what a success he made in the chemical apparatus business. He obtained his exper- ience in C. U. C. P. when he borrowed everybody else ' s apparatus, pre- viously minutely examining its condition. Rosenbloom has gone into partnership with Sam Cohen to exploit his laugh — the mystery of ages. He ' ll be glad to meet his old friends at the Penny Arcade. Gerschen ' Commercial ' Cohen has just announced his engagement to Miss Lotta Cash. He was too busy to tell of his success. Macsata — the Charlie Murphy of Connecticut — still enjoys his cigar as he did anciently in the analytical laboratory. Staloff is manufacturing scale salts of Iron Peptonate by means of Greco ' s new patent. So now. having heard how each fared in the past, I enjoyed the re- mainder of the evening and left after a most happy and interesting reunion. May their successes be double as the years go on, and may happi- ness meet them at every corner.

' As strange and innocent little freshmen, instead of being confronted and solaced, we found ourselves surrounded by conditions that were without precedent. The depletion of our class almost daily by men being called to the colors, coupled with the fact that we had to make room to accommodate the S. A. T. C. greatly diminished our chances for social attainments. But neverthe- less, regardless of all obstacles facing us, we were destined to leave behind us a record that would make future classes go some to even equal it. It did) not take us long to get acquainted, as was shown by our early elections. The officers selected were: — President Mr. F. Monteferrante. Vice President Miss B. Imber. Secretary Miss R. Lein. Historian Harry Gans. Under their guidance, we started to make history for ourselves. On the night of Feb. 8. 1919 we held our first dance. It is a fact undeniable that the affair was a tremendous social success and also a financial one. No sooner had the talk of this affair subsided, than we began a task that had never before been attempted, and thru hard work and per- severence we were able to put forth the Nucleus a thirty-two page magazine and the first of its kind ever published in the annals of the College. Due credit must be given the following who were the editors of the book. Mr. Ed. Neimeth, Editor in chief; Miss R. Lein and Mr. Harry Taub, Associate Editors; Miss B. Imber and Mr. H. Gans, Grinds De- partment; Mr. J. Wottman and Mr. P. Fleischman, Social; Mr. Louis Siller, Exchanges; Mr. L. Pontecorvo, Business Manager; Mr. A. Taub. Circulation Department; Mr. Plarry Sussman and Mr. Harry Peckuian, Advertising Department. On May 14. we were given a treat in the form of Junior Night, thru the courtesy of the Alumni Association. Just to show that we could be good scholars as well as good social leaders practically every prize- winner was in some way connected with making the college something more than just a place tn study. The following awards were made : 40 THE CLARION Harry Gans Miss Rose Leix Phil Fleischman F. MOXTEFERRANTE THEODORE McKn ' IGHT THE CLARION 41 ALUMNI ASSOCIATION PRIZES 1st.

Thus ended the first year of life in the College of Pharmacy On Sept. 24 we returned from a well earned vacation to find that we had with us a large number of overseas men who had returned to finish their course. This increase made conditions more favorable and we determined to do even greater things than the preceeding year. Within a few weeks the elections were held, and the following were the officers chosen: President Mr. Jack Lawley. Vice President Mr. P. Fleischman. Treasurer Mr. Monte ferrante. Secretary Miss Lein. Historians Mr. Harry Gans and Mr. Harry Taub. Some time later Mr. Lawley had to leave and Mr. Fleischman filled his place, while Mr. Gans was elected to fill the Vice Presidency. Our first venture of the year was also our best. On the evening o! Dec 13, the walls of Delmonico ' s witnessed one of the finest affairs of the year. To those who were present, it shall always bring back pleasant memories of the most enjoyable evening they ever spent. Our next big event was the smoker. The only regret we had was that the touch of feminity was lacking, due to the exclusion of the female members of the class. But then, possibly if they were present we might not have had as good a time as we did. Who knows? However, these were not the only things we accomplished during the year. This being an exceptional class we were able to do more than one thing at a time, so that while some of us were arranging dances and smokers, others were planning something that would be more lasting, something that we could look upon to remind us of the pleasant days we spent within this institution, and that something was the year book.

THAT the Pharmaceutical Profession is gaining popularity seems to be borne out by the fact that the college now boasts of having one of the largest Junior Classes in its history. Of course, prospects of $50 per, may have something to do with this, or can it be prohibition that has led to the sudden rush? Who can tell? However, the fact remains that not only is the class large in numbers, bu t there also seems to be a trend towards higher education ; almost a third of the class being University students. It is for this reason that the class from a social standpoint is divided into two organizations. The officers of the University class are : Charles Shaw President Israel Levy Vice President Charles Bondy Treasurer Miss Drogan Secretary Immediately after this election, the class received an invitation to be the guests of the Second and Third Year University Classes, at an informal Smoker and Dance, at Earl Hall. With Dr. Diekman as toast- master and corks poping (Sarsaparilla — not Champagne), a spirit of good fellowship prevailed and the outcome of the affair was a perfect Social introduction among the members of the different classes. The College Class was rather late in starting things going, being believers in the motto of Slow but Sure. After a hotly contested election the following officers were chosen : David Schwartz President Joseph Cappiello Vice president Anthony Drago Treasurer Alfred E. Capadano Secretary Miss Helen Betty Historian The date for their first dance was set for Feb. 22, but Fate decreed to hold things back. Abe Greenstein said that he and his crowd would be unable to attend due to the Lenten Season, so they postponed the dance to oblige Abe. However, after many disappointments, on April 6th. the affair was finally held, and one of the most magnificent assemblages that ever came together helped to enhance the beauty of the Ball Room of Hotel Pennsylvania. The early hours of the morning found quite a large (Continued on Page 94) THE CLARION 43 THE C LA RIO X 45 -■imiiiiiiiiiiuiiTiiiMitiiit ti inmiHitiitiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiniiiiin iitiiiiinimiuiiiitii t iiihiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimi iiimiiiiihi iiiitiiiiiiliiliiiiiii iiiiiiiitilllliiliiniiiiC: 2£appa f at iffraferittig (gamma (Chapter iilliiiiiimiiiriifiiiiiin hi in hi tn in i mm i ii in in i ii i iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiii THE CLARION +7 Pit l lta (Etjt iFraternity (gamma Artiue REALIZING the need in 1889 of a purely Pharmaceutical Fratern- ity, Professor Prescott, then Dean of the Pharmacy School at the University of Michigan, with a few others organized what was then known as Phi Chi, a fraternity organized to advance the dual science of Pharmacy and Chemistry and to stimulate fraternalism among its members. Owing to the confliction in name of this and a Medical Fraternity, it was deemed expedient in 1890 to change to a gTeek letter fraternity. It was therefore reorganized becoming Phi Delta Chi, a secret national Greek letter fraterni ty, while the appropriate Greek letters . A. x., Ritual and Insignia were selected and provisions made for a Grand Council to consist of representatives from the various chapters. In the Fall of 1898, through the efforts of Dr. Julius Tannenbaum, C. A. Mayo, Frank N. Pond, Nelson S. Kirk, Wm. A Hobarge and our esteemed Professor George C. Diekman, all prominent in Pharmacy, the Gamma Chapter was organized at the New York College of Phar- macy in the City of New York.. Although a charter from the University of the State of New York was not or is not required, Gamma felt that if it was a fraternity worth while, it should therefore be recognized as such by the State. There- upon an application was filed, and in July 1913 a charter was granted recognizing Phi Delta Chi Gamma Active of the New York College of Pharmacy of Columbia University as a fraternity among fraternities. Gamma, how we love that name, has grown and become a factor in the College life, selecting the best men from each class paying strict attention to character, scholarship, undisputed loyalty to the fraternity and the science of Pharmacy. At the present time Gamma has eighteen active members, with hundreds of Alumni members, all eager and willing to work and keep Gamma where it belongs in the first ranks, locally and nationally.

If a student is one who seeks diligently for more information, most of us aren ' t looking hard enough to be even classified as pupils. The time to discuss an exam is BEFORE and not AFTER you have flunked. It ' s all right to hitch your wagon to a star, but be sure it ' s not a falling star. While Pharmacy is a profession, it takes brains to run a drugstore. It is better to give a wrong answer, than to be prompted — and get caught. There is very little danger of any senior getting brain fever from overstudy, but quite a few would be eligible as understudy for the role of Flunk . There is a difference between looking over a lesson and over looking it. The marks of some students in Pharmacognosy resemble the assay for an alkaloid .00009. etc. Bashful Customer: Er-where can I find ladies garters? Saleslady: Oh sir, can ' t you guess?

Come now. said one of his friends, jokingly. I ' m sure you don ' t keep Spirits of Contradiction, as well stocked as you say you are. Why not? , said the pharmacist, not in the least embarrassed. He left the room and soon returned leading his wife by the hand. Alter — I could hold your hand by the hour. Miss Kmpr. — Xot much, this is my minute hand.

Doctor— A general practitioner is one to whom you may pay a fee to tell you to what specialist you ought to go. In Cleopatra ' s time the Marc didn ' t amount to much either. Miss Imber — What kind of a woman makes the best wife? Pontv — A dead one. The young wife regarded the breakfast table with a critical eye.

T HE C LA RIO S 93 OUR OWN PSYCHOLOGICAL EXAMINATION QUESTIONS By Harry Taub Xote — All answers must be in the English languages as interpreters are demanding increased salaries. Do not ask the instructor to answer any of the questions for you. He may be embarrassed, and any way you are taking the Exam, not the instructor. QUESTIONS. Ql. Criticize the following from a dramatic view point and then put a cross in the triangular cube inside the flat sphere to the left of the square cone, but if you believe that it is a waste of time to attempt ' to answer this, then skip the next question and write the letters of your name in alphabetical order except the first and third which should be written sixth and ninth, while looking in a mirror silvered on both sides. Write your opinion of the above question. Think twice and then write the reciprocal of your thoughts. Remember that it is better to think the truth but to write what is pleasant. Q2. If after reading question one, you attempt to answer the following questions, it shows a lack of intelligence and you need go no further, as you have a good reason for exemption should the wild women of Borneo attempt to invade the United States. On the other hand, if you don ' t answer the following questions, we can give you credit only for the first one, and you will surely fail, so use your own judgment. The proposition is as follows : — If an indefinite quantity of Nitrosyl-Sulphonot is added to an un- determined volume of Nitrosyl-Sulphonit, will the resulting compound, be a not or a nit salt, and if not, why not? Answer yes or no. Q3. Read the following carefully and then proceed to make 1000 mils of it. All necessary apparatus has been loaned by the Home for Pharmaceutical Incurables, and before starting the experiment we advise you to reserve a room at the Home, as you will certainly need it after you are thru. To 100 mils of an aqueous solution of steam add 100 gms of Deka- Hydrated H20, and heat to boiling at a temperature not exceeding 70 degrees Centigrade. Filter thru a glass plate and to the filtrate add 500 gms of exsiccated ffSO 4 and evaporate to dryness. Add enough water of crystallization to the residue to make 1000 mils. Keep in pink bottles in a dark place exposed to light. Finally to aid you in answering the questions we will ask you a question and answer it ourselves. Suppose the question were asked, Why is a Pharmacist? Then the correct answer would be Why is not 94 THE CLARIO X a pharmacist, but the twenty-fifth letter of the alphabet. With this as your guide you will find it easy to obtain a passing mark. All who receive 99% or over are entitled to representation on the Board of Trustees at Mattewan, and will receive the office of Chief High Mogul in the Holy Order of Solid Akenes.

For a first attempt this certainly turned out to be a tremendous suc- cess, and will indeed be remembered by everyone present. These forgoing events constitute the initial achievements of the class of ' 21. It is only necessary to add that still greater things might have been done if only the College and University Classes did a little more toward supporting each other in their endeavors, for in ' Unity there is strength ' , and Cooperation is the keynote of Success. ' THE CLARION 95 A Slab Will) A ifaral I ' .I II I lllll i Mill I I Ilil II Inn f,K T •3-,u C c p THt Ct- BI A PROFESSOR, once told a story that is so horrible in its details as to suggest the propriety of its exclusions from the mails. And yet it carries a moral possibly making it legitmate. A Thayer nty man sent a litle son of his on an errand. The little boy accidentally r an into a stand of bees and in fifteen minutes looked like a warty crooked-neck squash. And then a series of accidents hap- ened in a remarkable and never-before-heard-of procession. Listen: The father seeing the condition of his son. ran to his assistance, and failing to notice a barb-wire fence, ran into that cutting a big gash in his hand and ruining a $9 pair of pants. The family cow took ad- vantage of the gap in the fence and took to the cornfield, where she died from eating too freely of green corn. Hearing the noise the mother ran outside and upset a new five gallon churn full of Jersey Cream into a basket of newly hatched chickens, drowning all of them. In her hurry she dropped a $50 set of store teeth, which a full ided Jersey calf. tm k for a carrot, and in swallowing same, choked to death. The baby having been left alone, crawled thru the milk into :hc sitting room, ruining a very valuable carpet. During the excitement one of the farmer ' s daughters eloped with the neighbor ' s son, and the dog broloe up ten sitting hens. The calves got out of the enclosure and chewed the tails oft five shirts on the clothes line. All of which happened because the father had sent the lad over to borrow his neighbors Clariox, because he had forbidden his own son at College to buy it. Could the moral be any plainer? Celia . said mother sorrowfully, every time you are naughty I get another gray hair . Goodness, mother, you must have been a terror. Look at Grand- ma. Customer — I ' ve got to by a present for a man I don ' t like very much. What would you suggest? Salesman — A pearl handled corkscrew. 95 T HE CLARION IT DOESN ' T MEAN ANYTHING.

Dr. Wimmer — Do Oleates decompose, and if so why do they do it. when do they do it. where do they do it. and how do they do it? Harry Taub — Which question first, sir? Dr. Hostmann— NaOH + HCL= NaCL + H-O. Does this give a neutral solution ? Stude — Xo sir.a saltv solution. Enthusiast — I won ' t marry for several years vet. I ' m going to work hard, and get ahead first. Sarcastic — Whv. won ' t she marry von without one? 98 THE CLARION ACCOUNTED FOR.

Madam. announced the specialist after an examination, what you need is Oxygen. You must come here for your inhalations thrice a day. they will cost you $5.00 each. Very Well, replied Mrs. Uppedyup, I knew that fool doctor was wrong, he said that all I needed was plain fresh air. A young lady while reciting heard nearly all she had to answer. When she sat down she began to talk to her promptress. There you go, said Dr. Schaeffer, scold her for not telling you all of it. MY DREAM GIRL Oh dear. I don ' t want to go to the Ritz, the food is so rich, let ' s go to Child ' s. Jack dear, mother doesn ' t want me to go to Musical Comedies, Take me to the movies. Orchids are too flashy.

Harry Taub was speaking to the president of the Junior Class one day and boasted that his Class was the War Class. Being rather in- quisitive the Junior asked, Has any one in your class performed the supreme sacrifice? Whereupon Taub answered, I saw Ponty study Materia Medica for five minutes the other day. Small town resident — Well Mrs. Muuvsions. did your dinner suit you? Did you get quantum sufficiat? Airs. Munitions — Oh, you couldn ' t get anything like that in tin ' s town.

Eliza, that the water is of the right temperature, said Mrs. Milyuns to her new nurse maid. Lan sakes, replied Eliza. I don ' t need a thermometer. If the baby turns red.

Esther — Well, what did he say? Ethyl — Nothing, he just turned off the lights. Say. Jones, what ' s the best way to clean ivory? Try a shampoo. Prof. — If you gaze upon a piece of mettalic bismuth, you can see a reflection a light somewhat resembling a pasture, and if you have sufficient imagination you can see cows roaming about on the pasture. Stude — Does milk of Bismuth come from those cows? Judge — You are fined $2.20 for asaulting your wife. Kicker— What $2.20. Judge? Judge — Ask no questions. You know as well as I do ; lO ' X war tax on all amusements. Next case. Mrs. Ponderosa — Stupid. Incompetent. Imbecile! Can ' t you see you ' ve put too much powder on my chin?

And wtist of all, since July fust, ve can ' t raise ' em on beer anv more. 100 THE CLARION TOO OFTEN TRUE. Edith — This hat I bought is a perfect fright. Mary — I ' m sure it becomes you dear. Mother — Did Charles kiss you last night, Evelyn? Evelyn — There was a slight labial juxtaposition, mother dear. I u f it was only momentary, and therefore innocuous. The burglar who forestalled pursuit by stealing his victim ' s trousers, would make a good chess player. He can think a few moves ahead. In an ounce of matter there is more atomic energy than in a thousand tons of coal. — Sir Oliver Lodge.

It is related by an explorer that the sex of eskimo ' s can be told by the kind .of fur they wear; Men wearing fox-skin and the girls bear-skin. Better not read this aloud to anyone.

I also express my appreciation, especially to Mr. Leon Jaffe of the Third Year Class, Miss Nina )giiibene, and Mr. Morris Gold, of the Senior Class and Miss F.
