History PROLOGUE EMORIES are the permanent treasures of life. How tragic would be the lives of men and women without reminiscences of happy days spent in youth! What could be more inspiring or more pleasant to us than the memories of our sojourn at Temple? Here, perhaps, our future careers arc determined. Its memories we must cherish. The struggle to obtain an education has been a difficult but enjoyable one thus far. To some it may have been practically insurmountable, but they have striven hard and their endeavors have been recompensed by graduation. To others, while the task may not have been so severe, nevertheless, the fruits of success are just as tasteful. A few of us may continue with other educational endeavors which may. perhaps, lead into other fields. However, whatever we may do. the memories of the friends and profitable days spent at Temple will always be with us. This history is written with the sincere hope that it may facilitate in recalling those days, the memories of which at some future date may give us new impetus to accomplish those things which we have so earnestly Striven for FRESHMEN One bleak day. late in September, 1928, a group of eager and knowledge-seeking young men and women, some one hundred and thirty five in number, gathered in the upper amphitheatre, where they were, without any ceremonies whatever, introduced to the Professor in Botany, Prof. Eby That group constituted the Class of '31 of Temple University's College of Pharmacy. In the course of the next few days the class met other members of the faculty, namely, Profs. Attix, Schacterlc, Wage nisei ler and Mantz. Notable among them was Prof. Schacterlc, who from the first lecture threw terror into the hearts of practically everyone with dissertations on the formidability of the course in pharmacy. He furthered this common fear among us by being the first to give an examination. Just before Christmas, after we had become acquainted with one another and the school, we chose Dr. Eby as Class Advisor, following this selection with the election of class officers. They were as follows: President.......................................JOSEPH Katz Vice-President ..............................A. Napoleon Secretary .....................................Bernard Katz Treasurer..........................................Sam Bard About this time, due mostly to the untiring efforts of Dr. Eby as sponsor, and Maurice Tarr, of our own class, plans were formulated for a basketball team to represent the school the first time that Temple Pharmacy ever attempted such an undertaking. The team was entered in the Eastern Intercollegiate Pharmacy League, under Coach Bob Geasy, a Villanova luminary. Expenses of the team were borne by the student body and our class did not shirk its duty. The campus, work on which had commenced at the beginning of our school term, was practically completed after the Christmas vacation, and it certainly was a decided improvement in the appearance of the vicinity. Indeed, it seemed to lend zest to our ambition for organization, for, shortly after, the Minehart Scientific Society was formed, representation was secured on an all-university council, and plans discussed for the formation of a pharmacy council, to include representatives of the various classes, alumni and faculty. Time passed quickly and uneventfully, and soon we had completed one year towards our goal. Twenty-eight I
