e 1ft t jw t g t II r a SENIOR CLASS HISTORY September 17, 1923, the twentieth annual opening of the Indianapolis College of Pharmacy, found sixty-five Juniors clamoring for entrance into that institution. We possessed all the -timidity and unsophistication so characteristic of a beginning class, and this feeling grew as we began our schedule on the nineteenth day of the month. But is this fact remarkable? With Plant Histology; Theory of Pharmacy; Pharmaceutical Arithmetic and Latin ; Physics and Inorganic Chemistry confronting us, is it any wonder that our ungrasping minds were more or less bemuddled? And is it alto- gether strange that one of our number, in the midst of a lecture on such a topic as ' Life History of Dryopteris (Aspidium or Nephrodium) Felix Alas as a type of Sporophyte or Asexual Generation ' should interrupt the In- structor with: Professor, my limited vocabulary permits me to compre- hend about ten percent of what you say, only to be dismally squelched with the return, It is extremely unfortunate that the technical terminology of this science is so obtuse. However, in the face of such obstacles as this, we struggled through the first two weeks and then becoming more accus- tomed to our surroundings, began to see dimly what it was all about ! The Senior Class cooperated with the Faculty in the attempt to make us feel at home by inviting us to a Halloween Party on the 27th of October. The afifair was a huge success ; it served its purpose. For now we had a knowledge of all phases of College life, and individually, we began to feel as if we were one of the boys. Thanksgiving vacation came and went before we knew it, and upon our return to school, it was suggested that the class should assume a more or less organized air, and that we should select our Class Officers. A meet- ing was called and the following were elected : President, J. D. Sturges ; Vice Presidents, Donald Price and Murray Annan ; Secretary, Elizabeth Weinland ; Treasurer, Jane Neukom; Sergeant-at-Arms, Eugene Hinshaw. The following committees were also chosen : Social Committee Lloyd Poe, Chairman; Howard Glenn and Miss Neukom; Finance Committee, John Haddon, Chairman; Chris Iverson, Ted Karney, H. B. YanDeV ' enter ; An- nual Committee, Carl Newhouser, Chairman, George Lanigan, J. Heath Bounnell ; Color Committee, Don Price, Chairman, Chester Canada; Class Pin Committee, Chas. Buchanan, Chatrman, T. F. Richason. A pre-holiday Dance was held at the College on the evening of De- cember sixteenth. The Varsity Five of Butler furnished the music. It was a pleasant affair and served as a most eft ' ective send-oft ' for our Christmas vacation. Tiventy-nine

r |» c m t g I tt r a We returned to school the second of January, and immediately set about preparing for final examinations. Like a thief in the night they stole upon us, and the records show that due to this and other causes, nine of the class failed to return the following semester, reducing our number to fifty- six. The second semester seemed to pass more rapidly, and the last week of May saw us leaving the ' gang ' a number of us returning to our old jobs at home, and the remainder to newly acquired ones. And it was with considerable enjoyment, at the first Class meeting after our return to school in September, 1924, that we listened to the ac- counts of the manner in which each member of the class had spent his va- cation. We had heard much agitation concerning a new location for the Col- lege during our first year in school, but we had little idea of the ample op- portunities and conveniences the new building offered until our return in the Fall of ' 24. We found that a few of our number of the previous year ' s aggregation were missing, and were glad to welcome into the fold several men from other schools and several more who had dropped out of classes of preceding years. So, at the beginning of our Senior year, the Class still numbered fifty-six. Shortly after the beginning of the first semester, a Class meeting was called for the purpose of organization. In the ensuing election, those chos- en for Class offices were: President, J. D. Sturges ; Vice President, Don Price : Secretary. Elizabeth Weinland ; and Treasurer, Carl A. Newhouser. Several other committees of import were selected by the class at this meet- ing. It may be well to remark of the re-election of several persons to their old offices; these were selected because of their interest and capabilities in the activities and functions of the Class in the year past. In a chronicle of this sort, we attempt to include the unusual events of the year, and foremost among these was the Interclass Junior-Senior Foot- ball game, played at Shortridge Field on Armistice Day. A great spirit of rivalry was aroused and the game was considered such a success that a ser- ies of baseball games between the classes was staged at Riverside Park the following spring. The Class voted to publish an Annual, selecting J. E. Birkenruth as Editor-in-Chief. He, with the other members of the Staff , has devoted con- siderable time and eft ' ort to the work, and it is with no little degree of sat- isfaction that we submit this volume of the Mistura. The course is almost ended ; the prize which we have sought is almost finally won ; on the evening of June second, fifty-two members of the Class will be graduated from the Indianapolis College of Pharmacy.
