Dnlisclallivro e----- Our Christmas Program In keeping with the Spirit of St. Louis College of Pharmacy, our Christmas vacation was pleasantly preceded by a program on Friday morning, December 18th. XVe all arrived on time fully expecting to attend our regular nine o'clock classes, but good old Santa had a surprise in store for us, and we welcomed this surprise most heartily. It is with pleasant memories that we look back to this eventful morning, for it was one of splendor with its cheerful and seasonable entertainment, and the Christmas tree decorated so beautifully. The co-eds of our school are to be com- plimented on their decorating ability, for everything was very well done. Soon we were inspired by their spirit and gathered in the Assembly where we were greeted by the Master of Ceremonies Cnone other than our friend Doc Hinrichsl, who opened the program with his usual ability and wit. Everyone joined him in singing 'fulingle Bells, after which he introduced Dr. Thayer as the first speaker of the day. Following him Dean Caspari told us that it was a fair damsel who had persuaded him to OK. a morning program instead of an afternoon one. He then wished us all a Merry Christmas as did also Dr. Duden, Mr. Hoester, and Prof. Schlichting. The Assembly then took on the atmosphere of a theatre, with Ed. Rosen- hauer's latest creations of Pathe News and The Adventures of Our Hero Algeronf' the latter being a talkee Ca la Theinj. This was very clever entertain- ment, and was received with much enthusiasm. Next a poem by Paul Blumenthal in Tony Cabooch style was very well presented. The sketch which followed pre- sented R. Klosterman t'Clara Bows rivalj and O. Schmelzel, the original Apache team in an act which amused the audience so completely that an encore was necessary to satisfy them. XVe all sang the Christmas Carols accompanied by an orchestra composed of Berry Morton and his ryhthm boys, with Billy Boyle at the piano. And then Professor Suppan told us the story of the origin of Santa Claus, relating the difficulties the old fellow experiences in this modern day of oil burners and such. A momentary lull in the entertainment disclosed the sound of distaint sleigh bells and we all sat in silence awaiting the arrival of Santa. He soon appeared, and, although his voice sounded strangely familiar to us, our belief in a real Santa was strengthened by the fact that he had all the appearances of the joyful old fellow. He greeted us, and being a very busy man at this time of year, lost no time in dis- tributing gifts with the following words Qwritten especially for this auspicious occasion by his private secretary, Mrs. Mortonj 2 Dr. Caspari: A calendar, Dr. Caspari, for nineteen hundred thirty-two, Containing an extra day, is Santa's gift to you. These extra hours, the gift of the years you see, W' e trust you will spend with the St. Louis College of Pharmacy. The students need your council and the words of kindly cheer, So we hope to see more of you in the coming New Year. ...-I i I-... t 9' 1 r Di I 1 Page NinetyfSix

Dpfsculnro sul- ment of the up-to-date pharmacy. In comparing the means available to the phar- macist of yesterday, their accomplishments are almost inconceivable and for the past Hfty years their work has been very commendable. This Museum will have the exact signincance to Pharmacy students as the Historical Museum has to History studentsg a past record of conditions and achievements of their predecessors. This Museum should also prove a valuable source of information, not only on matters of curiosity, but also on those of an educational point of view, and we hope that in the future the students of the St. Louis College of Pharmacy will bear these things in mind and do their utmost to enlarge the collection, thereby making it one of the most complete and interesting Drug Museums among the Colleges of Pharmacy. 2, I9 3 2 gh.
