The Class History as reviewed by JACOB FLEISHER Graduation! Our goal. After three years of association as a group we have come to a parting of the ways. In the years to come we shall look back on our college days possibly with memories vague or facts forgotten. So herein I shall endeavor to portray a history of the Class of '32 that shall be a lasting record of our achievements. FRESHMAN YEAR One bright September day in the year nineteen hundred and twenty-nine, the Class of '32 made its appearance in the Pharmacy School of Temple University. The welcoming address was delivered by Dr. Eby, who has since initiated us into the intricacies of Materia Medica and Pharmacognosy. In due order the other professors were met. But the first eye opener was delivered by Dr. Wake Up Schacterle in one of his welbknown quizzes which were to become a regular feature (much to our regret). The next thing to take up our consideration was the election of class officers. This was supervised by the student council. The following were elected: President............................................Harry Neidorf Vice-President.............................Edward GlBSTEIN Treasurer..............................George NuSBAUM Secretary .............................Helen Witkowski Class Advisor..........................Harry W Mantz The officers were duly installed and the class was at last organized. Two social affairs were held during the year. The first Freshman Hop at the Majestic Hotel on March 4, 1930, although a social success, did not fare so well financially. The second dance, a Sport Dance, at the Club Del Rio, met with better fortune, and was the outstanding social success of the season. Some of our scholastically inclined students, eighteen in number, were honored with memberships to the Minehart Scientific Society. And then came the final exams and the end of the Freshman year, and our mem' hers began to decrease. Sixteen

JUNIOR YEAR Again the politicians come to the fore. A new set of officers were elected with the exception of our Secretary, Miss Witkowski, and our Advisor, Dr. Mantz, who were re-elected unanimously. The officers were as follows: President....................................Edward A. Block Vice-President..........................................BRUCE GABLER Treasurer .............................................Herman Blum Secretary................................Helen Witkowski Student Council.............John Dooley and Harry Spector During this year the Student Council put into effect the Freshman Regulations, the enforcement of which was up to the Juniors. Harry “Tank Spector sold the poor Freshmen their red neckties, while Harry Neidorf was in charge of the “Vigi-lants. The first affair between the Freshmen and the Juniors was the “Heavyweight battle of the century, a tug of war, with a fire hose playing on the tuggers. The battle took place at “Baldwin Stadium (18th and Hamilton Streets). The victory of the Freshmen caused their release from regulations. But we evened this up by the victory in basketball. The team consisted of Moe Klein, Phil Kaufman, Lou Snyder. Si Kaliner and our President, Ed. Block. About this time “Baldwin Stadium came into prominence as a “Battle Ground. During the spring fierce “baseball wars were waged and during the fall our football battles gave many of us painful bruises. The Interfraternity Council held their first ball at the Club Del Rio, the entire proceeds of which went for the benefit of the basketball team. This affair was sponsored by all the fraternities and aided the team a great deal, in addition to adding a night to our memories that will never entirely be forgotten. The class held the Junior Prom at the Rittcnhouse Hotel on December 12, 1931. This proved a great financial and social success. The Ring Committee, under the able guidance of Bruce Gabler, chose a beautiful ring (for your finger or hers) which has been adopted as the Standard Pharmacy Ring. Scholastic requirements having been satisfied we were now ready for our Senior year, and our numbers have decreased still lower. SENIOR YEAR All good things come to an end and so do our college days. All the officers were re-elected, excepting Gabler, who was replaced by John Painter as Vice-President. Yes, we, too, lost money in the bank. We banked at the Central Savings Fund and Trust Co. and we had decided to withdraw our money immediately (this at three-thirty in the afternoon). When our Treasurer went for the money the next morning the bank was closed. A “little thing like this did not daunt us. We decided to go right ahead and do everything we had planned on even if we had to work a little harder. A committee consisting of President Block, Dr. Mantz and the other class officers, suggested Ben Polin as Editor-in-chief of the Record Book. Their suggestions were unanimously approved by the class. This year being the 25th anniversary of Dr. Minehart's service to the Pharmacy School the class dedicated this Record Book to the Dean. The affair of the season was the second annual dance of the Interfraternity Council for the benefit of the basketball team. It took place at the Stephen Girard Hotel on February 19, 1932. The largest crowd to attend any social event of the school was present at the time and a marvelous time was had by all. The. school year was brought to a close with the Senior Prom and the Alumni Banquet. At this time we thank the Dean, the Faculty, our Advisor and the University for all the assistance they have given us in the past and for them we wish great success in all their endeavors. Seventeen
