 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.

 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.

 $fc.i i £ Again the tornado of finals began blowing on us twisting, tearing and depriving us of our carefully reared flowers which had so gallantly held up their heads and striven hard to succeed. May 13 found us at the end of our flowering season, with our fate in the hands of our gardners. who were seeking the fittest to ripen into fruits. The fruiting season, the Iasi stage of our school life, started September 20, 1027. Fifty-two fruits of the 100 buds survived, to mature into full-fledged ripened pharmacists, if Fate so willed it. Everyone was determined to take on food and moisture and transform it into knowledge, to make the final sprout for that Ph. 0. The class soon organized under the advisorship and guidance of Dr. George Schacterle with the following officers: George Frefer. President. Lawrence Intenzo, Vice-President. Sadie Zieffert, Secretary. llvman Novack, Treasurer. The title of “dignified seniors was thrust upon our manly shoulders and ere we knew, we were enacting the role to perfection. With the senior year came senior professors—men who were strangers to us, but whose fame ran far and wide. I)r. Mineheart, our impressive dean, introduced to us the science of Bacteriology, from which he would very often branch off into the realm of drugstore ethics, etc. The next gentleman to claim our attention was the man who held the chair of Pharmacy—Dr. Ken dig—short in stature, but endlessly long in range of knowledge. From him we became impressed with the finishing touches of theoretical pharmacy; also did we become impressed with certain facts, to wit: that said professor was fond of shooting ’coons and traveling to New York; that said Professor had an unusually large family to take care of, who required lots of money for sustenance, hence, said Professor had to work hard; that said Professor had a keen sense of humor and a wide and varied range of scientific and industrial knowledge; that said Professor had, etc., etc. Dr. Kendig is an example of human interest, coupled with ability as
