FflcsHmnn class On the eighteenth of September, Dean Ballard extended his official greeting to the new freshmen class, and so initiated a new era into our College of Pharmacy. At once was the midst of scholars and wise men of solemn mein invaded by the most spirited crew of individu- alists to ever disregard the sacrosanct precepts of almighty Alma Mater. The youngest fresh- men class ever to be admitted was thereby in- augurated. Now what does the preceeding imply? In more straight forward jargon it is expressed by the following program: 1. To attain record breaking scholastic standards. 2. To maintain and expand all activities calculated to raise school prestige. 3. To raise the criteria of the pharmaceu- tical profession. 4. Above all, to support their country and to make whatever sacrifices are neces- sary to secure it intact and inviolable in the present stage of international crisis. The spirit which shall be manifested in the application of these resolutions has been evident to the trained viewer for some time. The intensive, unrestrained political campaign- ing for class officers was a fine example of their interest in democratic processes. The re- sults of this near revolution are: Class President RICHARD DAYTZ Vice President IRWIN SATIN Secretary BRUCE HOOK Treasurer CELESTE WOLPER Class Representative .... WARREN H. ABRAMS The sophistication and blase indifference with which they approach Aristotle, Voltaire, St. Augustine, Locke and a host of others indi- cates that at an average age of approximately eighteen, they have transcended the wisdom of centuries; the volume and pitch of the dis- cussion which transpires in the library on the subject of chemistry indicates a fanatical devo- tion to science is a great potential in this class. Another subject, Mosha ' s Meat Sandwich, which by now has been classified with the Great Blizzard and the Deluge as a matter devised to arouse great controversy, has been digested in sixteen different ways, including by the labor saving method of osmotic action through the front teeth. The determination demonstrated by these freshmen is shaken by but three prospects: More manhours of study, full laboratory peri- ods, and Professor Halsey, the Edgar Bergen of Mosha ' s Meat Sandwich. Without a doubt, if the Freshmen can face St. Augustine, the atomic bomb, the draft, ex- aminations, the police action and lectures of the Student Council and Mosha ' s Meat Sand- wich, they ' ll be the wonder of their generation.
