To (rvx Nj « r a lecturer and man of industry. His lectures shall always he a source of knowledge and wisdom. A silver-haired, kind old gentleman, one named Dr. Fisher, took up the reins of Materia Medica. From him we learned of new cures for old diseases. It will he remembered that upon his return from the South, the class presented him with a Sheaffer lifetime writing set. He appreciated this deeply. We benefited greatly through his exhaustive knowledge of his subject. The next gentleman, who hailed from Haiti-more, was in a class by himself. He made this trip every week to give his demonstrated lectures in biologic assaying, which, to say the least, were unique and very interesting. Each week Dr. Fittinger brought a different animal, some being frogs, roosters, gold fish and a dog, on which some drug was assayed. We shall never forget the throbbing of a frog’s heart, or the “bluing of a While Leghorn cock’s comb. or the incising of a dog’s throat. Time was flying hurriedly and was waiting for no one. A few exams, a couple loads of worry and C.hristmas holidays were received with warm welcome. The finishing stretch lay just ahead of us. On our return came the installation of a new procedure, namely the granting of exemptions from final examinations lo those having an average of 80 in each subject. This was indeed a pleasant surprise. Many strove harder now to attain exemption and subsequent graduation. On March 10 the (’.lass of ’28 was invited by Smith, Kline cV: French, wholesalers, to inspect their laboratories at Delaware Avenue and Foplar Street. Everyone was present at Dr. ('ameron-s bidding. The tour was just chock full of interesting things in which we saw theory applied to practice. The visit wound up with a colorful banquet given in our honor at which Dr. Mineheart and our president spoke. We pause for a moment in retrospection. Our classmates and protessors we shall very likely see no more. The flowers; are soon to he plucked and transplanted into different communities. They shall all he memories the commencement, the alumni banquet, the congratulations. S. E. Zieffkrt, H. M. Fillek.

 $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

Each class must have its little busybody, poking his nose into everything and Joe is it. However, he seems to know what he is talking about (sometimes). He is the literary luminary of our class, in addition to being our commercial chemistry information bureau. So many-sided is Joe that it would take up too much space to tell all about the different facets, so a few remarks will not be amiss. At one moment his ambition seems to be to go on the stage, for whenever anyone wants the words to the latest song they see Joe. Then he is the comm. chem.. telling about Lewis Bros.’ white lead. Later he is one of the litterati, discussing new books and so on, ad infinitum. However, we feel sure that Joe will make his way far into this world. Kermit was the butt of many jokes and pranks played by his classmates, but he always took them with a good-natured grin, as he took his nickname, which was bestowed upon him by his fellow colleagues. “Hank” was a hard worker and tried hard to attain his Ph.G. It was a pleasure to work with Kermit, for he always had a ready “wise-crack.” KERMIT J. BERMAN “Hank Wetzel” 526 Tree Street A hermit dwelt far. far away. Disdaining a hie fellow men.
