This book does not purport to be a complete sum- mary of the years spent at our Alma Mater, but sufficient material upon which to reminisce in future years. From the multitudinous variety of color and hues, of emotions and moods, we have attempted to depict and include within these pages, the characteristics, from the most ludicrous to the most pedantic. If this publication is instrumental in recalling happy memories of your college days, it will have accomplished its purpose and we shall feel recompensed for our diligent labor in its construction. w ft • •■vs 4f ?M o«= , J i ?Q C3CC  3ft ■N iriwiE b« S ywipiiinnmiEiKiBtniifl i or igc3QC3Q i ■ o •■ §• 1 t5C 1 dedication ¥4 • • vs « W Because he is a professor of keen foresight; a man of remarkable intuition; who has by his extreme conscientiousness and unselfish devotion to the highest ethics of Pharmacy, prepared us for our life work, we, the. graduating classes of 1934, respectfully dedicate this annual, the 1934 Apothekan to —  I Q)r. £ewis c7V! {Brown n Jb0C3OC3OC=0C=)O o , « A o o = o S ICiLClJIllI ffi m ' y ' % $f irlS lf m w ft ItllLUJIjII i . n ii im it „ , g H lBIIPlDnnHIIE IKlPIIM| a£ ° I i ° • fr Dr. Lewis X.

Your class may in truth be called The Depression Class . Having entered the College of Pharmacy of the City of New York three years ago you have carried through to completion your courses of training under the most difficult circumstances both political and economic. You have been subjected not only to the regular courses of study here at the College, which is in itself most exacting, but also to most disheartening and discour- aging conditions and it has been, to me as no doubt to each of you, a source of personal inspiration these past years to hear of the personal sacrifices ma ' de not alone by the student and his immediate family, but by the Friend-in-need who has offered and rendered financial assistance in order that a student might continue his studies. It is facing and overcoming such difficulties as these, inspiring faith and confi- dence in oneself that makes the man or woman. Further it stimulates a clearer, deeper, understanding of our obligation to our brother and neighbor; in fact it shapes and develops a strong character which to my mind is most essential for a successful life. It is because of these trying circumstances and because you have successfully overcome these handicaps that I look forward with absolute confidence to the future success of each individual member of this Class and to a class of outstanding alumni of our Alma Mater.

F.C.S. ft X ljllLljJU)l A TMIBUTE Beautiful gray hairs surmounting a smiling countenance, out of which two sparkling eyes kindly survey the world; an earnest desire to help and a personality that summons all the affability and congeniality in one ' s character, such a personage is Dean Henry V. Arny. This year finds him completing fifty years of unselfish devotion to the profession of Pharmacy. The classes of 1934 are fortunate indeed to have graduated under a man who commands the love and esteem, not only of college students but of practical pharma- cists as well, throughout the country. It is with a feeling of pride that we point to his achievements and with heart- felt thanks to our Dean, that we go forth into the world so excellently prepared to serve humanity. P. G.— Editor.

Mere words seem shallow and insufficient in expressing our thanks to Dr. Schaefer, Professor Hart, and Professor Carter for their unselfish aid and unerring advice in the innumerable difficulties of the various phases of producing a Year Book. We are particularly indebted to Dr. Schaefer, who as chairman of the Year Book Committee, has given countless aids, suggestions, ideas and criticisms. It is a pleasure to acknowledge this obligation for his very welcome and valuable assistance.

M ' EMORY turns back to my initial entrance into the pharmacy laboratory. I recall how I was struck with the dramatic possibilities of the environ- ment, of probable situations, of work bent figures. I would incorporate the sketch as a bit in a high class revue. It would unfold itself somewhat in this manner: There would be walls in odd, cubistic patterns, along whose length and breadth were ranged bottles — big bottles and little bottles, round bottles and flattened bottles — all exaggeratedly labelled in glaring red. There would be a table in the center with Bunsen burners, mortars, pestles, graduates. Hovering over all these would be a sinister, gaunt figure. He would pour, and he would spill. He would mix and he would stir. The heaving and the moaning of his watchful waiting would swell into a rear assisted by the clashing of the bottles ' heads, as the trick walls huddled closer and closer. Trial and error — defeat and despair. But ah! — look! It almost seems — Can it be? Why yes, it is! An emulsion! The figure straightens: holding aloft the blessing mortar, triumph shines in his eyes; the walls recede, and the din of the bottles quiets into a clinking toast. Melo- dious music sounds and our curtain falls. Isaac Pack ffvfl IBilflJlL ' £ k o Eighteen 1?

For three years his authentic voice has echoed through the laboratory and will again reecho in years to come when we will be forced to disregard a mapped procedure and create new things by our own initiative. Now that we have completed our laboratory work, we must realize why such painstaking procedures are essential in this day and age. Rapidly, quantitative and qualitative measures are replacing guesswork. Large-scale production is no longer based on empirical judgment and individual skill, but is more and more becoming a system of scientific assaying. As we look back and recall our procedures that were so carefully mapped out for us in determining the purity of tartaric acid. Glauber ' s Salt, and other chemicals, we should realize that such analyses are the basis of analytical work, in the commer- cial world. Similarly, American industries are becoming more and more apprecia- tive of scientific research. As we take leave of the chemistry laboratory, we may pride ourselves in the fact that we are equipped with basic knowledge to experiment. Perhaps, some day one of us may bring fame and glory to eurself and to our college, by the creation of a new compound that will prove a benefit to science. Morkis Raymen.

The microscope and its intrinsic potentialities, the mysteries of protoplasm, plant structure and nature, the ever-present odor of formaldehyde lending an appropriate atmosphere, all held a firm fascination for us. Who of us will ever forget that nondescript sensation we were instilled with, as we hesitatingly embarked upon new botanical fields? Then it was that our ever broadening vision disclosed new and monotonous panoramas as we slowly progressed through Botany. Histology, Pharmacognosy, and Microbiology. We leave much behind, soon to become but part of pleasant memories, enhanced perhaps by the mellowing processes of time. But we bear forth, molded and re- molded, into something substantially part of us, the essence of that vibrant spirit which inspired Galen. Hippocrates, and countless others in their unrelenting quest for Knowledge and Truth. Feter Trentadve if?

This applies to the eight members of the bachelor of science c ' ass to whom I have had the privilege of giving personal instruction in our eight week laboratory course and to the Ph.Ch. ' s and the Ph.G. ' s whom I have had the pleasure of meeting in lectures during the past three years. « w fvYl It is no idle phrase that I make when I state that the Class of 1934 represented outstanding groups. The dark days of 1932-1934 were sufficient to try the mettle of the stoutest of heart, and most members of the Classes of 1934 have withstood the storm and stress of the three trying years in an admirable fashion. I congratulate you, not only because you are approaching your desired goal, but chiefly because you have acquitted yourself in so fine a fashion. You are about to graduate into what is today a cold, unpromising world — but I bid you to be of good cheer. Recently I wrote a few lines concerning the N.Y.C.P. Class of 1873 who like yourselves, graduated into a cold, unpromising world: em- phasizing that the Class of 1873 contained young men who became leaders in American Pharmacy. One was honored with election as president of the American Pharmaceutical Association, and two who are still with us are strong, healthy, capable men who have had distinctly successful lives. The Faculty will watch the careers of you members of the Classes of 1934 with affectionate interest. We hope that you will soon obtain good positions in the active world of Pharmacy. We stand ready to do all in our power to aid you in achieving success in our beloved calling: a calling to which this year I have devoted fifty years of service. H. V.

Three years filled with the emotions of a lifetime. Three years of hardships; years of dull, exacting routine, frenzied anxiety and heartaches and pain, as well as years filled with joy, happiness and comradeship. A wealth of materials upon which we can longingly reminisce in days to come. A croup of thirty enthusiastic, yet shy and eager men and women gathered before the portals of our Alma Mater that September morning three years ago. Men and women looking forward to a college career and anxious to acquire knowledge. We worked hard from the beginning, a little confused and bewildered perhaps, yet anxious and willing to fall in line and co-operate. Wc were given plenty of time that first year to get acquainted, before we elected the following as our class officers: n President _._._ Vice-President Secretary Historian Isaac Pack Al Bargne . Ruth Whipple . Emile Tiboni That year, instead of attending the Freshman Dance, the class elected to attend a Theater Party, which was enjoyed by all. A new year. New subjects, new instructors, old friends gone, never, perhaps to be seen again, familiar faces reunited. The opening of our student activities was marked by the hectic rivalry for positions as class officers. This year, as in the preceding one, the offices of class president and vice-president were decided by the slim margin of one vote. After several weeks of electioneering the following were elected: President _ Isaac Pack Vice-President _ .__ _ _ Al Barone Secretary _ ._ Charles Waneski Historian .-. „ Johx Garizio That year the class attended the Sophomore Dance held in conjunction with the College Class at the Hotel New Yorker to the complete enjoyment of everyone present. We ' re Seniors now; men of importance and filled with self assurance. The Senior year turned out to be one of serious study and hard work. A year filled with Trigonome try and Algebra, Dr. Kassner and Dr. Wimmer. The greatly coveted Senior Class offices were obtained by: President __._ _ _ ___ Johx Garicio Vice-President _ - _ Julius Levin Secretary _..__._ _ _..__ __ _ Charles Waneski Historian _ Michael A. Megna M I The Senior Class Dance was held in conjunction again with the College Class at the Hotel Edison and was attended by all. It was a gala affair and one never to be forgotten. Then June, and Commencement at last. Our tasks completed, our hopes sustained, wiser for our years of education and with high ambition we go out to establish ourselves in the world. Auf Wiedersehen !

What fun it is trying to connect familiar faces with old names and fond memories! A scene very similar to this takes place during the winter of 1945. I am seated at my warm hearth, in a very pensive and reminiscent mood. Listlessly my eyes wander about the room and then rest on a large, leather-bound scrap book which says, Memoirs . In this book I have a collection of all kinds of newspaper clippings, correspondences, and notices; in short, all sorts of printed material and photographs of the classmates who graduated with me from the Columbia College of Pharmacy — way back in ' 34. What fun it has been these ten years, to watch the diversity of accomplishments of my fellow graduates! This is, perhaps, as good a time as any to add the recent clippings to my album and reread for the Nth-time, the old. Sidney Lifshutz, the famous recipient of the Hanbury Award, peers at me from the Sun- Times clipping of some time ago. Do I see eggs? Oh! of course; eggs featured prominently in the Freeport Drugzette when Levin discovered one hundred new ways of using Oves, U.S. P. (Yes, Levin still runs that egg farm — but only as a sideline). The William J. Greenberg, Sr. name appears on a card announcing his entrance into the Sterling Magnesia Company. I hear that he has put the Sterling on a gold standard! A clipping from the daily Telaviaradion proclaims Al Barone and his famous Baronicans, the most popular dance orchestra on the radio. On the next page, appears a newspaper item: Charles A. Wianeski, who recently was made chief engineer of the Eskimo Pie Company, has discovered a new freezing mixture that works better in the summer than in the winter. ' 1 A cover of a magazine bears a familiar name — Peter Trentadue, contributor. However, I have been informed that Pete is also busy with several original problems of his own. He is doing some research on several lions. I see a familiar pamphlet, The New York Journal of Pharmacy in which the page Notes from the Dean ' s Office is checked. There stands an article announcing that Professor I. Pack has organized a Bridge Club for the students who are still interested in that ancient pastime. Turning the page, the word Amityville greets me. Claire Robinson has accepted the position of chief bacteriologist of the Amityville Hospital, a position which she accepted much to the Regret of her husband and family. Ah! And here is a photograph of Michael Megna, but I never would have known him because this Michael is trying to look serious behind a black mustache. Megna has ventured into the field of manufacturing chemicals, especially succinic acid, with much success. A letter inviting me to attend the Bon Voyage (Party for Elliot Godoff who was leaving for Russia, appears. At last Elliot got his wish! But wait — here ' s a clipping dated four years later; Mr. Elliot Godoff, returns to the United States after a long sojourn in Russia. Accompanying him are several members of his family. Mr. Godoff, upon being questioned, declared his intention of making his permanent home in the United States. And here, Robert Longyear, M.D., specialist in heart diseases, announcing the opening of a new office. He treats hearts of every description, broken, dented, or bruised. The Ella Wohlman Diagnostic Laboratories is ever present in this album. Here you may have anything or everything scientifically examined and analyzed. A cut rate drug store article appears. It is owned by Kaplan and Grotzky. There is a circular of cut rate prices issued by this thriving business. Their motto is; We sell you what you want, for as little as we ran get. Joey Kaplan is author of that amusing bit of literature sold over the counter lately, called Little Men . A drug store of an entirely different nature is the one run by Alfred Biamonte. His is a professional pharmacy run according to the highest hopes of Professor F. Lascoff. John Garizio has received the new title of Quysician because he runs the column Answers to Pharmacy Queeries in the Flushing Drug Topics. My Memoirs is not exhausted. I have more and more articles of similar natures. With the aid of the Old Year Book, 1934, the faces of these classmates can easily be brought to mind. Incidents of ten years back are remembered. Disconnected thoughts assume a form; the faces dance before me, a jumble of words — cut rate, gold standard, contributor, pharmacy, ethical, Amityville, Russia, Eskimos, mustache, M.D., bridge, U.S. P. — block my mind. The log on the fire grows cold. Enough for tonight. It is time for bed. Ida Siegel  M k e Thirty-jour 5? A , 0« , J . c ca .«=i a .

There they found three strangers, who although professionally and academically their equals, were woefully ignorant of the spirit of C.U.C.P. These strangers were the cream of the Pharmaceutical Chemist Class of ' 33 of the Albany College of Pharmacy. And so we started the Fourth Year of our studies; two separate and distinct groups. As though, this were not enough of a handicap, we discovered that there were seven different personalities. We imagined it would be difficult to form a friendship that would be lasting, but to our great joy, at the end of the first week, we were calling each other by nicknames. Under the capable tutelage of Dr. Kassner, we were initiated into the realm of Gravimetric Analysis. There in the Chem Lab, we fostered our friendship until it was so strong that nothing could break it. Here too, we had the distinct pleasure of meeting the eighth member of our class, Mr. Taoatoa. Much to our surprise we learned that the instructors were human. About this time it was decided that we, as the Senior Class of the College, should have officers. The election, such as it was, resulted in Mr. William Mende being President, Mr. M. Wackstein, Vice- President: Mr. H. Osterhoudt, Secretary; and Mr. I. Peisachowitz, Historian. Dur- ing these eight weeks we all had a swell time and incidentally received a very good course in Gravimetric Analysis. To tell the truth, we hated to go, but the Dean was waiting for us and go we did. Since we were presumably accomplished analysts, Dr. Amy endeavored to make expert bromologists. balneologists, and toxicologists of us. The consensus of opinion (in the class) is that he did an excellent job, even though Mr. Givens may think differently. We were given an excellent course in military tactics by that eminent sharpshooter, Bill Mende (with H=0 as ammunition). Here we learned about Moe ' s Gert, Hank ' s Mary, and Dick ' s Lona. The course served another good purpose in that it proved that Givvy could take it as well as give it, and that the Dean liked music (?) Thus it was through all our courses, discovering the Faculty was human, that they were men instead of mere automatons. Dr. Rusby, that grand old man of Pharmacy, made Botany a pleasure for us. N ' o wonder that he is called the Grand Old Man. Dr. Wimmer. Professor Carter and Mr. Hauck taught us the intricacies of Pharmaceutical Assaying. Dr. Ballard took us in hand and showed us how to express our thoughts to the best advantage. In his course, bibliography and phy- siology, all of us, even Hank, lost our self-consciousness. n The year drew to a clos e — exams — graduation — finis.

Eagerness was easily discernible on the faces of the striving, young students, who were about to lay the foundation of their life ' s vocation, one which demands devotion and self-sacrifice and partakes of the nature of source, intended to be done not feebly, perfunctorily, nor shabbily, but with vigor. At the sound of the first bell, marking the beginning of the term, there was a sudden flood of students, full of youthful force, sweeping through the door; noisy, gesticulating, filing into the lecture room, full of intense curiosity and with great expectation. This was the expression of the emotional and intellec- tual elation which was irradiating them. There was instantaneous silence when the second bell rang. The sheer lustihood of exuberance had passed, and Dr. Amy, Dean of the College, found himself facing an eager audience, bodies bent forward listening to every syllable of the greeting and advice he had prepared. Solemnly the first lecture started and the class of ' 34 was well launched on its career. Within several weeks a general acclimatization to the routine had taken place. Students had become sufficiently acquainted to have several members of the student body represent them. At the first election, the following were chosen: President Jack Di Pasquale Vice-President Vincent Fortunato Secretary Charlotte Samuels Historian Anthony Caruso Student Representative Morris Raymen The indifferently postponed examinations loomed larger and more unsurmoun- table than ever. All was forgotten in the turmoil of excitement except the concen- tration of efforts towards the passing of exams. With those over, the concentration shifted to extra-curricula activities, the most important of which was the first dance held at the Paramount Mansion. The final examinations awoke all with a start. Their end marked the termina- tion of the first year. What an enthusiastic welcome greeted the summer vacation, as all returned to their respective homes to woo the gales of happiness! CHAPTER II During the second year, the students had more strongly impressed upon them the fact that theirs was a serious undertaking, dealing with a prime asset of man- kind. Therefore, every minute and resource were to be conserved for the completion of their definite task. Various talks given by outstanding men in the Pharmacy profession and allied professions pointed out the right path of a virtuous and noble vocation, laborious but full of goodly prospect. At various times we were honored to listen to men of the ca ' iber of Dr. E. Plaut, Dr. De Sola Pool, Dr. Herman Goodman, and various others. frvfl ft ss A e Sixt v-six £■■ ,S m °W( m f °% _ fi TIHIIE 2 s? 3a ll M WIPHtlE IKlPIIMfl Jl£ % H- The need of a class organization was again felt, this time resulting in the follow- ing members being elected: Id M m N ft Noah Cohen Vincent Fortunato Charlotte Samuels Anthony Caruso President Vice-President Secretary Historian _. Student Representative Leon Gildenberg It was also during this year that the intri cacies of chemical analysis, pharmacy lab, and of Mike and Mac were formally introduced. There were indescribable scents, tongue-twisting botanical names, peculiar forms, and a mass of informative material which had to be stored in the corner of the brain for either immediate or future reference. Sometimes, however, the corner was an obscure one and all sorts of mnemonics had to be resorted to in order to bring them forth in time of greatest need. It was realized by the faculty that the demands of Pharmacy, and Pharmacy in general, had metamorphosed considerably. To harmonize with the change, the stu- dents were taught business principles, besides the technical version. There was more intensive training towards both the professional side of Pharmacy and the knowledge of business methods and pharmaceutical jurisprudence. All served to inculcate in them such habits, thought and action, as would fit them for their environment and work. Examination time this year was a replica of that of the previous year, with the exception of the increased intensiveness. Serious promises to settle down and study were forgotten until a short time before the all-important exams. Then came feverish days and nights, a kind of palsy seizing their souls. The weight of the universe seemed to crush down on their defenseless spirits. The lifting of the burden had its climax at the class dance which was held in collaboration with the alumni and the class of 1933 at the Hotel New Yorker on May 20, 1933. CHAPTER III The students are all back at their classes for the final year. However, after two summer vacations the imaginations cannot yet detach themselves from those happy vacation shores full of cherished memories. Faces beaming with self-satisfaction and contentment are noticed as the students meander, their thoughts far from work. Manufacturing laboratory and meticulous titrations soon take care of those happy floating clouds, quickly dispelling them in the throes of calculations and other detailed work. Manners become much ameliorated. Serious promises are again made to study diligently. This year marked a keen struggle amongst the office-seekers. The victors in the political affray were: President _ .Leon P.

It was an appari- tion from which no one was preserved. Not much importance was designated to it for the preliminaries but the mid-year and finals became personified in the shape of a Gargantuan image, a grinning monster, cynically thrusting his darts of apprehen- sion. This monstrous incarnation was familiar to all and only when exams were over did it dwindle to insignificance becoming a sheer figment of the imagination. There formed in the students ' hearts a secret script, strange ideographs of the spirit, tending towards the adherence to the highest ethical standards of the pro- fession. This was especially heightened by the Joint Physicians and Pharmacists meeting which was held on October 24th at the Pennsylvania Hotel, in the form of an informal supper. The end in view was the promotion of a better understanding between the two professions for their mutual benefit. Every pharmacist partici- pating brought at least one physician as his guest. The fundamental services of pharmacy rendered, the essential place it had taken in neighborhood life, the grave responsibility of the pharmacist, and the unselfish traditions — all were recognized. Finally the last Gargantuan monster was conquered. What a sense of joy and exultation! When news of passing came, emotional outlets burst, climaxed at the Senior Dance which was held at the Hotel Edison, March 23, 1934. Couples circled merrily, amidst music, and echoes of laughter. Vitality seemed undiminished as the time for dispersing drew near and many sought food and more amusement at various places. The gates of life were finally thrown open wide. Those who were drawn to the pursuit of knowledge were now to begin to render specific returns. They had passed from the institution great enough to inspire love and enthusiasm, into the final molding experience of practical responsibility. No matter in which direction the students go, it will be impossible for them to get away from their old associa- tions at Columbia. It remains a part of all they know and of all they are for. Long, long may my heart with such memories be filled. Like the vase in which roses have been distilled. You may break, you may shatter the vase if you will But the scent of roses will cling to it still.

And so, for mental relaxation, I took a stroll through the Metropolitan Museum. Suddenly, I found myself closely inspecting the remains of an antiquated resident of Egypt. My eyes opened wide and a cold fear enshrouded me, as, in amazement, I saw the spiritless mass sit up in its jewelled coffin. Immediately, I underwent a temporary loss of consciousness and everything seemed to appear cloudy. Instantaneously the mistiness gave way to a clear vision, which seemed vaguely familiar. That countenance, the moustache and the natty attire could never be forgotten. It was Noah Cohen, somewhat aged, gazing at the little woman who helped him to succeed. The vision fades and Phil Gordon, our former Editor-in-Chief, appears, busily conducting the professional pharmacy he always dreamed of owning. A large laboratory appears in the next scene, Harry Gold, Pat Fleming and Vin Fortunato appear elated over discovering the alkalinity of a chlorine preparation that will remain stable for years. A million dollars for their patent rights is their reward for many years of hard work. A man bursting into the room at this moment with a patented hair restorer is none other than Bill Cassidy, proudly displaying his flowing locks. I notice a crowd gathered in front of Madison Square Garden. Recorded in brilliant lights is the following: Wrestling Tonight — Moe Raymen vs. Strangler Vakimoff. I purchased a ticket and handed it to the doorman. Do I know him? Of course, it ' s Babe Binder. Now inside I see Admiral Arida and Commodore Aumenta, now in the employ of the U. S. Navy. Louie Ciccotto, President of the Italian Pharmaceutical Association discusses business conditions with Sam Daniels and Ralph Ristaino, the chain store magnates. Two men nudge me and inquire if I would like to place my bets. I turn to gaze into the faces of Ted Gura and Mort Podolsky. Winchell Epstein is very much in evidence. Suddenly the noise and excitement subsides. Tony Caruso, the Joe Humphries of the present day, steps into the center of the ring and starts introducing the digni- taries present. In rapid succession appear Dr. Felberbaum, noted specialist in gastro- enterology; Leon Gildenberg, President of Terry ' s Inc.; Nathan Siegal, State At- torney-General; Joe Herbst, Sales Manager for Woolworth Co.; the eminent artists, Covert and Spanier; Chuck Kline, successful collegiate basketball coach: Joe Ferraro and Oscar Liebowitz, great . The vision has faded. I awake to find the keeper restoring me to my senses with the stimulating effects of smelling salts. Hastily, I glance at the coffin but the mummy is cold and lifeless. I left the building wondering why I had fainted. Perhaps it could be attributed to too much mental exertion. But then, haven ' t you heard of Reincarnation? Philip Gordon. rfrrfnmj Sevent v- :.

After several weeks of training the squad was cut and the nucleus of the team was formed consisting of several of last year ' s men and many new able recruits. The team immediately organized under Captain Chuck Kline and began serious training under the capable tutelage of Coach Sol Amsterdam. After continuous practice for several months including the learning of signals, plays, and new rulings, the schedule was officially opened on November 25, 1933. at which time the varsity played an exciting and victorious game against the Alumni, defeating them by the score of 39-27. Among the other schools which our team opposed throughout the season and met with variable success are: 27th Division Aviation Squadron, Rutgers College of Pharmacy, Cathedral College, Temple University College of Pharmacy, Seth Low- College, Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, and Brooklyn College of Pharmacy. Although the team did not fulfill the great expectation which was set for them, it proved to be the best team turned out in the last three years considering the various difficulties with which it has had to contend. The team also forsees a much greater hope for championship prospects next year. To Dr. H. Kassner and Mr. H. J. Amsterdam who aided the team greatly throughout the season, a vote of appreciation is given. The members of the team also wish to express their sincere gratitude to Coach Amsterdam and the managerial staff consisting of Julius Levin, Elliot Godoff. Anthony De Luca, and Moe Berkowitz. itlm ' ijilii ifrifiniii ■ • f ST 0C=3 V - n lfiwiE gig- II jRMPlD nrHI lE IKiraiM [ H S BASKETBALL TEAM Manager Julius Levin Asst.

He was ably assisted by Betty Siegel, Jack Cohen and Elias Fuchs. The spirited cheering of our loyal supporters of the basketball team was, to a great extent, responsible for the new energy our players would suddenly manifest. Usually the result of this vociferousness was immediate, for almost simultaneously a sensational one-handed shot from the side of the court would find the hoop . Seventy-seven z , ?

This organization continued successfully, year after year, until finally in 1934 disaster almost spelled its downfall. Student interest in this extra- curricular activity appeared lost, but there still remained a few students who were interested enough in dramatics to attempt its revival. With the sincere co-operation of Dr. Schaefer and Prof. Hart, this restoration took place. ffl Two one-act plays, Safety Pins First and ' Unconscious Ether , were diligently rehearsed and presented at the Casa Italiana on Feb 23rd. A large representation both of facult} ' and student members witnessed the performance, which was followed by dancing. The person directly responsible for the success of the presentation was Mi ss Jane Xesta who generously devoted much of her time, thanks to Mr. Simpson and Miss Kerker, by assuming the duties of Coach. In handing out space in the Hall of Fame, the members of the club should not be forgotten. Their fine spirit and co-operation in attending rehearsals contributed immensely towards the success of the evening. Joe Ferraro was unique as the technician. His mannerisms and the earnestness he displayed while making the noises required in the two plays, were a show in themselves. ft Special thanks is hereby accorded to Mr. Xick Haralampom who was responsible for the signs, props, etc. When the strains of Home Sweet Home emanated from Flo Birnbaum ' s delight- ful orchestra, everyone somewhat reluctantly started for their respective homes.

Menorah holds meetings twice a week, Thursday at 1:30 P.M. for the second year class and Friday at the same hour for the first and third year classes. During the year Menorahites heard from our beloved Dean Amy . At a latter date Menorah presented Rev. Dr. D. DeSola Pool, as guest speaker. For this extra- ordinary event the Society was permitted the use of the Lecture Hall, thus enabling outsiders to join with us. Dr. Herman Goodman honored the society with a very interesting discourse. Dr. Ballard, The Taubs , Mr. Kaye and our President delivered enlightening addresses during the year. Due acknowledgment is also given to the other members of the faculty, the officers, and members of the society who have helped make the year a happy one. The social activities of Menorah enjoyed great success. Our chapter, in con- junction with the Inter-Collegiate Menorah Association, held a theater party on December 27th, 1933. Other social events have been planned for in the near future. The outgoing administration wishes to extend to the new officers their sincerest wishes for success in all future undertakings.

The society received its name from the late Dr. C. G. Rice, who for a long time was a beloved friend and ally to the students of the college. How better could the students honor his memory than by an organization devoted to the study of the pure sciences? The year 1933-1934 was one of achievement and success. Under the leader- ship of four officers: President — Ida Siegel, Vice-President — A. Katz, Secretary — Ella Wohlman, and Treasurer — Al Felberbaum, the society has sponsored many in- teresting and educational meetings. The first part of the year, a series of talks and discussions on the The Advantages of a Ph. Ch. in Industry and Science were led by various members of the faculty. This was an attempt to depict for the students the various fields of endeavor open to them upon graduation. Many phases, from cosmetics, mineralogy, pathology and food miscroscopy to teaching and research were discussed with the students. The speakers consisted of such interesting and capable individuals as Dr. C. V. Ballard and Professors Carter, Taub, and Hart. With Professor A. Taub, the society studied the newest discoveries in sciences revealing the intricacies evolved by the tireless research chemists. As usual, several student- members presented papers on matters of interest and import. Thus, time adds one more year of fruitful labors to the history of the Rice Chemical Society.

The sorority attempts to provide the girls, while at school, with a feeling of loyalty to one another and to become after graduation, a definite link between the profession of pharmacy, the college of pharmacy and the graduates. The program this year has consisted of a number of Bridges at different hotels, several parties for the girls attending the school, and, of course, the annual Freshman party. A Birthday Dance was given at the Hotel Waldorf-Astoria an affair long to be remembered for its beauty and charm; a Pledge Dinner at the Hotel Lexington and an Initiation Dinner at the Hotel Fifth Avenue, at which two new members were initiated. The Misses Esther Lessinger and Bertha Siegel are the young ladies who joined the ranks of Sigma sorors. It is not without regret, that we turn the pages of another year in our books.

Known as the Dead Man ' s Club with a select membership of an even dozen in 1920. Alpha Zeta Omega has now reached international renown, with sixteen chapters throughout the leading schools of Pharmacy in the United States and Canada. The Zeta Chapter held its annual Smoker at the Brierfield Hotel on Novem- ber 10, 1933, which was an outstanding success. The annual Convention was held at Philadelphia this year with fraters present from every chapter on the official roster of the Fraternity. An so throughout the years, the same fortitude that made our Fraternity a beacon-light in aiding and guiding its members into a common brotherhood, is now still evident in its successful efforts to maintain that cherished fraternalism.

From this well-formed nucleus has developed the large, active and well-known organization that exists today. This year, as in past years, a select number of students have been added to our list of members. Under the capable leadership of our President, L. Ciccotto, the Dante Circle has enjoyed a successful season. The first social event was a dance held in the main ballroom of the Casa Italiana and served as one the many occasions to bring together the alumni and the active members of the Circle. During the college year, many meetings were held in the college building and at the Casa Italiana, at which times educational and cultural talks were delivered by guests of the Circle. At present we are looking forward to a delightful time at the annual dinner dance. The success of our undertakings have been due in a measure, to the aid of several of our faculty members. With the closing of the present school year, we can look back upon the activities with just pride and knowledge of the fact that we have done our part in complying with the high ideals of Columbia University.

Its purpose was to create a closer bond of friendship between its members, and to further the, high ideals which they held in common. From this modest beginning as a small club, with the definite idea instilled, to advance the cause of Pharmacy and its allied professions of Medicine and Dentistry, the Alpha Chapter of a new fraternity, namely, Delta Sigma Theta was established. Possessive of such meritorious fundamental ideals as the furthering of the brotherhood and equality of man, religious liberty and tolerance, the elevation of the Pharmaceutical and allied professions and being non-sectarian in character, the fraternity grew and prospered. Within a short space of four months Beta Chapter was organized at Columbia College of Dentistry. Rapidly, the other links were forged into the great fraternal chain of Delta Sigma Theta to include Tufts Medical Col- lege, University of Pennsylvania Dental College, Temple University of Dentistry, Columbia College of Pharmacy, Flower Hospital Medical College, X. Y. U. of Dentistry, X T ew Jersey College of Pharmacy, Long Island Medical College, and St. John ' s College of Pharmacy. We point with pride to the accomplishments of Delta Sigma Theta men at our college. The appointment of Philip Gordon as Editor-in-Chief of the Apothckan, the election of Xoah Cohen as President of the Student Council, and Al Reichman as Assistant Chairman of the Senior Prom Committee exemplifies the calibre of men comprising Delta Sigma Theta. The Fraters of Delta Sigma Theta are proud of their organization; proud in their choice of honorary members, men who have made their mark in their respective branches of endeavor; proud to call themselves DELTA SIGMA THETA Fraternity men because it stands for the best in the advancement of the ethical side of the professions of Pharmacy, Medicine, and Dentistry.

During the ensuing years the standard of the fraternity has steadily risen, and at the present, enjoys a prestige and reputation of which it is so deserving. Gamma Chapter has gained the pinnacle of popularity through the medium of honesty, fair dealing, and good fellowship. It is a popularity of which its mem- bers are justly proud. This season started with the annual Smoker at John Jay Hall, November 8, 1933. A good turnout of alumni, university professors, and brothers of other chapters impressed the boys who were potential pledgees. We are pleased to disclose that our pledgees for the current year are a type and character quite in harmony with the high strata of idealism as was set forth and demanded by our forbearers. The annual formal dance, held in March at the Park Central Hotel and the banquet in April, were the outstanding events of the season. The active chapter however, has been enjoying fraternal nights of bowling and billiards and get togethers with the brothers of Omega Chapter of Newark, N. J. The alumni, patiently await news of our major events and travel to N. Y. C. from far distant points to be with the boys again. This shows that life with a fraternity like Kappa Psi is an honor and privilege which is held with high esteem by all Kappa Psi men.

Since that time chapters have been added and today there are thirty-one in existence. Our Gamma Chapter at the Columbia College of Pharmacy was founded in 1898. The school year of 1932-33 was finished with a bang by our annual banquet at the Hotel Astor in honor of Dr. C. W. Ballard who had just finished his twenty- fifth year of teaching. It was a huge success, many of the real old timers turning out to see their old friend and teacher, Dr. Ballard. The school year of 1933-1934 was inaugurated by a smoker held at John Jay Hall of Columbia University and was again voted a huge success by all attending. Among those present were numerous alumni members, faculty members, present members, and quite a crowd of first year men. ffvfl YA On January 9th, 1934 a pledgee dance was held at the Casa Italiana. It was well attended and those present enjoyed themselves immensely. As this issue goes to press we are making plans for our Annual Initiation. Social events to be held later include our annual dance and banquet scheduled for some time in April or May. In closing we wish to say our members of this year proved to be a very active group, who will no doubt carry the name of Phi Delta Chi, the oldest fraternity in the college, forward to new success in fellowship and honor.

They saw themselves united by firm indissoluble bonds of fraternalism, swore as men swear, to share each other ' s burdens through life. In harmony with this conception there developed as an objective an earnest desire to carry the standards of their profession, the pharma- ceutical code of ethics, to new heights of integrity and honor. This vision was realized when they organized Gamma Chapter of Rho Pi Phi Fraternity. Today Gamma Chapter numbers one hundred and fifty men. In less than twenty years this fraternity has spread the Light of Rho as far west as California and north to Oregon and Canada. Its phenomenal growth is indisputable evidence that in modern times, characterized by hurrying, pushing, scrambling, and fighting in constant struggle to amass wealth or renown, namely, in this machine age, there is something lacking. The individual as a human being has no room for expression. Who doubts, then, that Rho Pi Phi has supplied an aching want? ' Who wonders that one after another is drawn to this outlet for the colorful sentimentality, to swell the ranks to as many as one hundred and fifty? And all of these have embraced the same principles and sworn the same fidelity. To every frater, Rho Pi Phi is a haven of hope and a fortress of inspiration, urging all to fulfill destinies worthy of its ideals. n m ft to The year of 1934 finds Gamma carrying The Light still forward by means of various social and educational projects. Some of the events of the year were: Smoker, November 1933; International Convention at the Hotel Astor, February 1934; Initiation, March 1934; Dinner Dance at Casino De Paree, March 1934; Stag Dinner, April 1934.

It is part of an extensive national fraternity having chapters in various colleges of the United States. Through the untiring efforts and zeal of the members of Gamma our unit of the organization has grown to extraordinary proportions. At our present quarters located at 307 West 70th Street, meetings are held every second week and social functions at regular intervals. During the years of its existence Gamma has, by careful selection, increased its quota of members. The smoker for 1933-34 was held at the Gamma House on November 19th, 1933. After a general introduction of the dignitaries of the organization, refreshments and entertainment followed. The evening proved to be a very enjoyable and memorable one. The social activities of Sigma Tau Epsilon have enjoyed tremendous success. Beside the regular social gatherings each month. Gamma held a most successful boat ride during the summer and a Gala New Year ' s Celebration. Among our members, we are deeply gratified to have as honorary Fraters. Prof. Jacob Dorfman, Prof. Abraham Taub, and Mr. Saul Kaye. Their active interest in our organization has been deeply appreciated. The members of Gamma have given their best efforts in all affairs to the college. Among the active members In Collegio we may cite, our Chancellor. Al Felberbaum and Marvin Goldberg of the second year class. It has been the aim of Gamma to inculcate the principles of brotherly love and fidelity into the hearts of her men and it is on the vibrant note that Fraters of Gamma join together with the sincere hope that Sigma Tau Epsilon may flourish and prosper to further the best interest in the field of education and brotherhood.

Fraters of Tau Delta Mu may justly be proud of their organization, for only students having fine scholastic standings and conducting themselves in a gentlemanly manner have been selected as representatives of this fraternity. Since its induction in 1920 at C. C. N. Y., Tau Delta Mu chapters have been fermed in the leading colleges of New York State. Delta Chapter has progressed with overwhelming rapidity in accomplishing its main purpose, that of forming and perpetuating friendly relationships among its student members. Periodically, social functions have been carried out with tremendous success. Opinions of these gala affairs have been voiced long after the termination of each event. Outsiders, who have been invited to the various functions, have commented on the sociability among the fraters and their friends. In 1933, Tau Delta Mu held a well attended and enjoyable smoker. Active members at the college carried on weekly meetings in order to further propagate a better understanding of the spirit of brotherhood. Various fraters also invited their brothers to week-end parties. A resume of the records of Tau Delta Mu reveals the high standard of frater- nalism imbued in its members. An organization of this quality will undoubtedly carry on to time immemorial.

Mem- ories of the hours we spent there, the friendships we fostered! As we look back at our school days, we will remember how we squirmed in our seats during the 12 to 1 o ' clock class — how the sleeping beauties of the class were wont to sprawl all over their chairs in an effort to get comfortable. How menacing the lecture hall looked during exams — Poor mortals whose fate it was to be examined in Materia Medica, Newer Remedies, etc! They would fee! as though each window was spying on them as their thoughts or eyes strayed from their papers. After classes, the Hall seemed desolate — Echoes of footsteps could be heard — the place seemed unhappy, — lonely — without the whispers and rustling of Coy Co-Eds, Rip Van Winkles, future Einsteins and embryonic Joe Penners. Then Class Night!! This austere hall of learning becomes alive, joyful — glad that the people it had sheltered during the four seasons of the year, are happy. Music, laughter, applause! Why the room seems to smile maternally at every one! And in this smile there is a shade of wistfullness — because a class of young men and women are leaving its portals, eager to step over the threshold of a career. And as everybody gets ready to go, students who are students no longer seem to hear a faint whisper that emanates from the surrounding walls: God Bless You, and may you always be as happy as you were in my care.

Your achievement in your chosen profession has come as a result of untiring effort and, undoubtedly, it is with a feeling of relaxation and satisfaction that you accept your diploma. Your college has provided you with the operative skill and theoretical knowledge necessary for your life work. Your pro- fessors, instructors and visiting speakers of the commercial world have attempted to imbue you with the sole realization that the one path to success is the road we call hard work. Were we to study the course of history we would find that had man but built continuously upon the knowledge he attained by trial and practice, the ascension of civilization would have been decisively more expeditious than it really was. Un- fortunately, man ' s lack of success in this regard, can be attributed to the fact that he was too easily given to satisfaction and content with his accomplishments and was pleased to rest upon his laurels. Similarly in college, we discover this self same so-called calamity. Many students have remained content to accept whatever knowledge has been offered them with the mere intention of utilizing it for the sole purpose of passing examinations. What is the failure for the rapid advancement of the graduate pharmacist in the commercial world and of consequently, for the general public lacking first hand knowledge regarding your requirements and capabilities? It is due in no small part to the fact that you do not assimilate and utilize this valuable knowledge and ex- perience which comes to you as undergraduates. Knowledge is a medicinal plant but no medicinal plant has strength enough to save itself from deterioration, if it be denied the sustenance of life. Thus the knowl- edge imparted to you at college, if allowed to remain in a dormant state without being reanimated, would ultimately cause this individual to find himself being ex- ceeded by those whose doctrine is the utilization of knowledge gained and the search for greater knowledge. Therefore it is my contention that he who works hardest and profits by his acquisition of knowledge, is the one who is most likely to succeed.

From the earliest recordings of history the pharmacist has played an integral part in the evolution of mankind. Succor to the poor and feeble, by his art a boon to the suffering, guardian of public welfare and health, he provides a bulwark for society. Romance and history have evolved from the humble apothecary shops of old, and no profession can point with greater pride to its background and history, than can the profession of Pharmacy. Out of these apothecary shops there developed the various sciences. Not only were the various herbs gathered and milled, and galenicals prepared from them, but the various special sciences, such as chemistry, medicine, and astronomy, and the culture of the day were introduced. Religion, literature, music, and the allied arts have given no greater names to posterity than has the ancient art of the apothecary. The roll is a lengthy and a distinguished one. Hippocrates, Galen, Geber, Avicenna, Paracelsus, Scheele, Spal- lanzani, Pasteur, Ehrlich. Such names can never be forgotten. The influence of the teachings of Hippocrates and Galen were so great as to be accepted even into the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The Grecian, Roman, and Arabian periods contributed much to the literature and progress of Pharmacy. Much of this knowledge was brought to Europe by the Crusaders, 1096-1270 A.D., and by scholars who roamed over Europe. Many of the early apothecaries were monks, since these scholars sought refuge in the monasteries, and thus imparted their knowledge in return for the haven offered them. During the Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries the publication of formularies and the London Pharmacopoeia are notable as milestones of the progress in Pharmacy. The Eighteenth and Nineteenth centuries witnessed a separation of pharmacy from medicine, as a distinct and separate branch of science. Further progress was marked by the establishment of Colleges of Pharmacy, notably that of the College of the City of New York. The early part of the twentieth century further contributed to the advancement of an ancient profession by the passage of laws controlling the educational standards, the Pure Food and Drugs Act, and the Pharmacy Ownership Laws. What has been accomplished in Pharmacy is small in comparison with future possibilities. In this matter, however, the pharmacist controls his own destiny. Science advances only with the revival of the scientific spirit, and this is encouraged only by laboratory experimentation. In conclusion, we must not allow a generation which has given Remington, Squibb, Rusby, Arny, Diekman, and Rice, to be in vain. The torch is passed to you, the class of 1934. Pharmacy marches forward. Edward V.

Its colossal progress in all fields was pictorially presented to the world in a most artistically vivid fashion. Despite the numerous cheap, Coney Islandish side shows and commercial enterprises which reeked with nauseating odors of frankfurters, and dinned the ears with side show barkings, thousands of serious intelligent individuals managed to witness some of the finest exhibits of scientific progress of the world. The Hall of Science was a modern Alice in Wonder- land. It demonstrated that the true wonders of science may appear to be more fantastic and a great deal less ludicrous than the ravings of a poetic mind. One can hardly imagine the amazement of the ancient medical men who placed implicit trust in Aristotle ' s anatomical theories, were they to have witnessed the remarkable modern models illustrating the mechanism of the human body. Xor would the 12th Century alchemists, with Geber at the fore, fare favorably in the comparison. Their early findings, which consisted mainly of fragments of unsystem- atized knowledge of inorganic chemical compounds, would indeed have seemed dwarfed beside the complex, gigantic modern science of chemistry. Great commercial and industrial concerns of America exhibited numerous, complex synthetic pro- ducts with the hope of transforming them from the objects of curiosity to products of every day use. The medical and pharmaceutical exhibits were of tremendous interest to both the pharmacist and the layman. To the pharmacist they represented a summary or index of the latest achievements in his profession; to the layman it was a concise picture of the pharmacist ' s relation to medicine, and science in general. It made him aware of the fact that the man in the corner drug store is not only there to supplement groceries and ice-cream parlors, but that he is there to play an active role in the preservation of health and the struggle against disease. The excellent exhibits of biologicals and pharmaceuticals indicated the enormous amount of labor, care and accuracy it requires to produce a medicament before it can be offered to the public. The pharmaceutical houses, in their many leaflets and general literature, related the histories of many products. They told of their origin, manufacture and properties. They conducted, indirectly, an intensive educational campaign. It is now for the pharmacist to follow up whatever he might have gained from the Fair, with a sincere resolution to further educate himself and the public. Our century marches still further. Science leads the way. The long, winding paths of science are illuminated by a bright, penetrating light which beckons to the seekers of T ruth, Wisdom, and Knowledge. Let us follow that light.

To enumerate these virtues would be well-nigh impossible, for who can express in terms of absoluteness, the vast ranges, the singular quirks, the unpredictable gyrations of the human equation? It is enough that friendship is the final, absolute, unconditional expression of one to another, after the doubts, the probings. and searchings of the heart and mind have vanished. Like so many other things, friendship can be attained through a coalescence of simple virtues or through one outstanding virtue. But to attain a true abiding friend- ship it is not enough to exhibit or to express a solitary rectitude or efficacy. To be sincere in one ' s friendship to a nother, that attraction must be bound up in the powerful refraction of all dominant merits. Virtues that are outstanding build character. Character is the rock on which friendship is constructed. It is the material out of which friendships are formed, held, and endured. When naught but character remains, deep mutual regard would yet exist. To the man of character, who maintains high standards of value, with his unpretentious virtues as torch-bearers, many are attracted. He may welcome or reject their advances. Under his aegis, the favored ones too can grow in moral stature and influence others in return. For if friendship grows out of character cannot the converse be postulated? Thus, through character, the links of esteem can be welded into a chain of enduring attachment. It is absurd, to have these foregoing sentiments applied, in full embrace, to the world at large. For the doctrine of true everlasting reciprocal concord is compounded from many variables. Consequently, it would be folly to superimpose on the world, or any large given area, a yardstick to be measured in terms of character only. But the friendships developed in a college, a group, a community — would not the aforementioned sentiments be found appropriate to them? Yes, there, I believe, in the formation of these nuclei, character would dominate and take precedence above all other virtues to establish a firm underlying basis for genuine permanent comity. It is in these small, compact assemblages, particularly clubs and fraternities based on ideals and divers sorts, existing side by side, differing in many petty ways yet gravitating toward a common fundamental aim, that real fellowship prevails. It is here, through fertile association that the casual acquaintanceship, through the prime seed of character, ripens into the fruit of friendship.

Let there be no brotherliness, and comparatively speaking, war will prevail and culture, nay, civilization, will be put on the retrograde road to primordial times. Vet, scanning the ages, we find, as the years mount up, that this world is steadily approaching a state of unchaotic, non-destructive rivalry, a rivalry non-antagonistic in form, really a clash of intellects, the progeny of Fraternalism. To quote from H. G. Wells in his Outline of History , war becomes a universal disaster, blind and monstrously destructive; it bombs the baby in the cradle and sinks the food ships that cater for the non-combatant and the neutral. But there can be no common peace and prosperity without unassuming Fraternalism. The overriding powers that before in the individual soul and in the community have opposed and prevailed against the ferocious, base, and inferior impulses that have caused divi- sions in the races of men, have been the powers of religion and education. Now, these powers interlocked with Fraternalism, have begun a new onslaught on chaos. As a lesson derived from the last set-back to civilization, these powers are determined to bring about that millenium mentioned in the first words. Fraternalism, the key- note of society. Yes, it is, indeed, the sensitive fingers of the Eternal Being, uniting hearts forever with resilient bonds of love and friendship.

All this, together with the traditions and customs as are contained herein, do we be- queath to the future classes and it is our fervent hope and desire that it be held sacred and reverent. FIRST: We give and bequeath to our successors, our highly revered, respected, honored, and esteemed Faculty, whose untiring efforts (in conjunction with our good fortune) have successfully guided us through three years of heartaches and joys. We earnestly hope that our successors gain as much from their quizzes as we did. SECOND: We regretfully leave to you, Dear Seniors, that cherished cham- ber of which we possess fond memories of innumerable hours dedicated to Morpheus. It behooves us at this opportunity to forewarn you not to breathe through the nostrils with roughness or hoarseness while in the act of somnus or you will subsequently be ostracized. THIRD: We willingly bequeath to you all the harassments, vexations and undue anxieties pertinent to the defrayment of tuition fees, breakage deposit, stu- dent activities fee and all the remaining fees which only experience can teach you. Two years of previous training should have provided you with the sagacity and prudence to determine the appropriateness of method A, B, or C. The rest is yet to come. FOURTH: We liberally and munificently convey to you that oft stated ex- postulation of Prof. Dorfman, If you don ' t study now boys, you ' ll come in straw hats in the summer. FIFTH: We also give and bequeath to you, our sanctum sanctorum. The Library. To those who are of an inquisitive nature, you will find the same situated directly across from the office entrance or to the right of the staircase upon descension thereof. SIXTH: Likewise do we bequeath to the class of ' 35, the Stock Room Boys, and it has been our fervent hope and desire that they run out of purchase slips. We expect of you, as Seniors, to carry on this traditional expectation. We suggest that you maintain a single file when business necessitates your presence at Doc Bloom ' s emporium.

You shall find that our good friend, the Dean, does not shirk in his duty. If you have received four of these famed missives you shall automatically be inducted into the Letter Club and hence- forth shall be referred to as a Four Letter Man. EIGHTH: We give and bequeath to the class of ' 35, the Walton Restaurant, the rendezvous for those who. although they may not be emaciated, nevertheless, at 1 P.M. are undergoing a feeling of pain or uneasiness for want of their Vitamins. If in doubt, order Veal Cutlet. In the event you are in an extreme hurry to return to j ' our dear Alma Mater, just ask the waiter to bring your dessert. Do you like apple pie? XIXTH: To our next Year Book Staff, we glady give and release all our worries pertaining to the editing of the annual class publication. We willingly place at the disposal of the Editor, the use of the I. R. T. which will convey him to the school daily, provided he possesses the much needed five-cent piece. TEXTH: The Chemistry Laboratory with its everlasting memories of hectic days of meticulous titrations and brain-teasing calculations, we bequeath unto you. ELEVEXTH: We give and bequeath the Manufacturing Laboratory with its watery pools that gather in the many depressions of its gilded floor. We suggest that you outfit yourselves with a Coast Guard ' s uniform and a mop. TWELFTH: Somewhat regretfully we bequeath the Dispensing Pharmacy, the solitary place where we really believed we could demonstrate our ability. If per- chance you are really desirous of saving two points credit, make a mental notation to clean your bottles and desk. THIRTEEXTH: We also see fit to leave to you our melodious Orchestra, whose rhythmic music caused us to stumble more than once and acknowledge apolo- gies to our dancing partner. FOURTEEXTH: Fitting indeed, it is for us to bequeath the repeated words of Dr. Wimmer, namely, to wit: It is a privilege and not a right to attend this institution. We don ' t ask you to come here, you simply come of your own free will, not forgetting that it is costing you seventy-two cents per hour. FIFTEEXTH: Always ardent exponents of precedence and age-old traditions we give and bequeath the raspberry which Dr. Schaefer, by quantitative and quali- tative assay, found to be acid in nature. Such raspberry to be used forcefully and expressfully immediately following each mistake of any professor or instructor. SIXTEEXTH: Xot at all reluctantly do we bequeath the necessity for exerting your untiring efforts to obtain college legislation for the restoration of student privi- 1 1ST n Yd M ti m, i f i lia l One Hundred T ' venty-one 5oaot=o=ac=iO!=j5- - l °4T sft , rjOc Vjjmjm m w ft w m ft °% iriwiE IBIIPlDliriHIIEIKIPIIIill leges that have been maliciously and unknowingly taken from them. Namely, to smoke on all floors of the college building and to ascend and descend in the elevator thereby avoiding the pain of calloused feet. SEVENTEENTH: We pass on to you the valuable and confidential advice that we were fortunate in obtaining through the medium of the columns of New York ' s finest dailies. It shall be to your distinct advantage to utilize the time obtained, by practicing that enjoyable custom of breaking the monotony of school work, by learning the fine points of tennis in Bill Tilden ' s new tennis stadium to be erected at Broadway and 68th Street. We hereby appoint Mr. Amsterdam to aid and abet you in exhibiting mastery in this department. EIGHTEENTH: In spite of previous advice which you have undoubtedly received from your professors, from experience we see fit to bequeath to you the much needed (and we hope appreciated) information as to the proper method of studying for examinations. Do not fail to cram for the finals. Whenever the schedule calls for an exam at 9 A.M. make absolutely sure that you adhere strictly to the following procedure. The night prior to the exam, attend a mid-night movie per- formance and complete the evening ' s (or morning ' s) diversion by becoming well inebriated. Commence studying at 5 A.M.; know the definition of the subject in which you will be examined, so thoroughly, that it almost appears as a faint vision on your collar cuff (?). Cease studying at 8:30 A.M. and rush to the subway station without partaking of breakfast. Your appetite will have vanished ages ago. NINETEENTH: We now bequeath to you the privilege of graduating from this world renowned institution, in the three years prescribed, providing you are lucky. TWENTIETH: The remainder of our property, real, personal and otherwise, we give and bequeath to our beloved professor and sincere friend, Dr. Hugo H. Schaefer and we hereby appoint said Doctors Schaefer and Amy as executors of our estate. In witness whereof we, the Class of 1934, declare this to be our last will and testament, and at their request, we the undersigned do hereby, in the presence of our executors, set our hand and seal, this twenty seventh day of April, A. D., year one thousand nine hundred and thirty four.
