J. Howard Graham, B.S., M.A. Professor of Physics and Associate Professor of Organic Chemistry TT WAS Dr. Graham who had die difficult task of converting crude high school graduates A into men of laboratory excellence. Under his exacting methods, we developed rapidly. 11 is said, A good beginning is half the business,” and it was no wonder that we kept up the good work for the remainder of our school days. Many students found that by far the most interesting and informative course was the one in Organic Chemistry Laboratory, directed by Dr. Graham. Aside from the subject under consideration, his side remarks interspersed greatly enlivened our work with him. Besides being recognized as an authority in his profession. Dr. Graham had the greatest background of industrial experience among the faculty. Being the possessor of these characteristics, he was well able to help those who required assistance, and we all know how we all needed it. ( 15 b

George K. Schacterle, Phar.D., B.S. Professor of General Chemistry A FFECTIONATELY referred to as Shac, Dr. George K. Schacterle has made an everlasting impression upon our memories. Although Shac” did not succeed in making chemists out of all of us, he succeeded in scratching the surface from which there oozes the blood of appreciation. Always ready to explain any difficulty, “Shac” would nonchalantly saunter to the blackboard with a, ‘'New look here, and proceed to analyze our problems. His vivid willingness to teach was surpassed only by our willingness to learn, for Shac” had a way about him that brought something to a student's heart, which made him want to listen. It's no wonder that all of his lectures were ideal ones. If we could employ his power of reasoning in the vicissitudes of life, we would know little of hardships and sorrow. Yes, we will always remember Shac, and although we leave him behind we can still have the satisfaction of knowing that he will be still doing for others, that which he has done for us.

Harry W. Mantz, Ph.G., B.S. Associate Professor of Pharmacy (7 HE youngest member of the Senior Faculty made up in knowledge what he lacked in years. His efforts were directed in teaching us pharmacy, mathematics, and “showing us how” in the pharmacy laboratory. Having established himself as a member of the Faculty, the day is not far distant when Dr. Mantz will be one of the “greats” of our school. His keen sense of humor made him a most congenial man to work for, and never a dull moment was experienced in his presence. His democratic associations with the students made Dr. Mantz a popular professor. His popularity was further increased by his willingness tohelp any one who sought his aid. We are going to miss him, and are saying good-bye with a lump in our throats. M 16
