 conditions,” (his record was readied when he repeated that utterance sixty-three times during one lecture). Dear Dr. Attix always remembered his boys and girls, even while in Florida, hv sending each student an orange. Here was a man who was both a gentleman and a scholar as gleaned from the long line of degrees conferred upon him. Ilis wholesome wit and endless store of knowledge made him outstanding. Dr. ELy greeted us. In him was exemplified the type of man who has his scientific subjects close to his heart. His stern expression as botany and pharmacognosy professor was overshadowed by his pleasurable and contagious smile. In the laboratory he was ably assisted by Messrs. Ilanig and Cornfeld, the former’s favorite expression being, “Use your fine adjustment.” Drs. Penn and Roberts rendered us valuable asistanee in the pharmacy laboratory. Dr. Kleiborne lectured us on physiology and hygiene. On October 20 the Freshman Class of ’28 was organized under the advisorship of Dr. Cameron with the following officers: Nathan Ravetz, President. Harry E. Wiener, Vice-President. Sadie E. Zieffert, Secretary. Isadore Magarick, Treasurer. These ollicers served faithfully and successfully. On December (5, 1925, our beloved University President and Founder Dr. Russel II. Conwell was called to the Great Revond. To those who knew him this was indeed a great shock, for to know him was to love him. Dr. Charles E. Beury was chosen as his successor in office. Upon our return from the Christmas holidays, we learned of the death of Dr. Kleiborne. Dr. Boome then became our physiology professor. And now, going from the heavy to light, as it were, a benefit was held at the Karlton Theatre during the week of March 29, under the chairmanship of Jerry Rimmerman. Quick as a flash it seems the year sped by and soon we were called to task in the form of final examinations. These were held daily during the week of May 17, three hours each day. Thus did the first stage end toward our coveted Ph. G.

So September 20,1925, found 109 buds at Temple eager to learn of what the pharmacy profession held in store. The first instructors to be met with were at Conwell Hall. From them we partook of the ways and means of the world of commerce. Our impressions still remain of Mr. Howman, the advertising and salesmanship professor, “who was a good fellow and willing to pass the Pharmacy Class, if only we would be still and listen, and perchance learn. Then there was Mr. Chamberlin, who entertained us with his delineations on football. “A hank may refuse to do such and such a thing for any reason or no reason at all” was the favorite explanation of Mr. Klaiman. our finance instructor. We later discovered this worthv's love for cold and darkness, for immediately on entering the room, out went the lights and up went the windows. Who can forget our various accounting professors and the three hours of figuring we endured? Then there were Mr. Douglas, of the economics department; Mr. Reiser, the merchandising wizard; Messrs. Bell and Whitaker, of the legal intelligentsia, whose jokes evoked blushes from the faces of the girls and a few of the hoys; Messrs. Holton and Meltzer. of the psychology department, who gave us reasons for everything we do. Who by any chance can obliterate from his memory the wholesale Latin “slaughter conducted by the venerable Dr. Klapp of Latin fame? There was a typical scholar of the old school, both in manner of dress and speech. Ilis old winter hat and black, loose flowing tie were his identifying characteristics.” His task of cramming a high school course of Latin into non-academic students was a farce. On September 21, upon entering on our school career at Eighteenth and Buttonwood Streets, the first gardener to make his debut was the beaming face of Dr. Cameron lit up with his smile, and with jokes ever ready. Then we met Dr. Schacterle, who first put us in dread of what was forthcoming, but who later seemed to resent it. Through his powers of loquacity, he was able to make your heart glad or make you feel sad. He was a moulder of character as well as a teacher of chemistry. With Dr. Attix next we became acquainted —“that beloved old man with the van Dyke beard and an omnipresent expression, “under ordinary

 However the winds of the finals were too strong for some of our buds and so they were strewn along the path. But some, although badly bent by these violent winds, in the form of conditions, revived and opened their petals to blossom into radiant juniors. September 21, 11)20, found seventy-three llower-ing plants, determined to ground their roots firmer and stand ready to absorb another year of knowledge. A! our first meeting, October 1, Dr. Frank II. Rbv was chosen ('lass Advisor with the following as officers: Nathan Ravetz, President. Joseph A. White, Vice-President. Sadie E. Zieffert, Secretary. Hyman Novack, Treasurer. Our Vice-President did not remain with us long, having contracted pneumonia. After a long illness, he finally recovered, but was unable to return. George Freter then filled bis duties. In November death again took toll, the unfortunate one being our beloved and learned Dr. Herbert II. Boom. In his stead was appointed Dr. Wagenseller as Hygiene Instructor. Our first perception of seniority was gained when we gladly and proudly received our class rings and pins upon which was embossed the emblem of our class. To top the climax, the Recoro Book staff was appointed by our able and versatile Kditor-in-Chief, Joseph A. (i. Bell. December 17, 192(5, was a gala event for the class. Under the unrivaled guidance of George Freter, a dance was held at Elks Club. All those present had a delightful time, for it gave one an opportunity to come in social contact with his classmates. During December a cloud of despair once more fell over the class, the Grim Reaper this time plucking from our midst our beloved and much thought of classmate Philip Bcrkowitz. Having made and broken our New Year’s resolutions, we decided to have a benefit at the Shubert Theatre. Those who bought tickets saw a lavish revue called “Great Temptations,” which was rather suggestive. Clarence King and his committee were responsible for this. 1 hen all the girls in the class all seven dedicated themselves to the task of riming a benefit at the Arcadia during the week of Mav 2. “Venus of Venice” was the headliner.
