Above is the second edition of our "war 

 cry." Our class is the happy possessor of four ; 

 our criers — oh. Mama ! 



Mr. W. Lee Knight, of the Class of '95, 

 made a call on some of his '96 friends recently. 

 Mr. Knight was one of the most studious mem- 

 bers of his class and is now reaping the just 

 reward of his labors, holding a desirable posi- 

 tion behind the counters of a well known firm 

 at Haverstraw, N. Y. 



Our brother correspondents will find GifFord 

 at Watertown, N. ¥., and undoubtedly will 

 also find him at Carnegie Hall at our com- 

 mencement exercises. We hear that he has 

 no more use for the " girl wanted " button. 



It has been lately discovered by one of our 

 students that brimstone is identical to sulphate 

 of calcium. Another astonishing fact was made 

 known that lard was a fat obtained from bulls 

 and steers. 



At the Materia Medica examination which 

 was held on January 6th, Louis Protzmann and 

 Mr. Snappenberg stood at the head of Section 

 2. Mr. Frank H. Finley takes the lead in prac- 

 tical work in the pharmaceutical laboratory. 

 No student has a perfect rating. 



We have heard nothing further of Messrs. 

 E. R. Squibbs and Sons, and we take it for 

 granted that our letter did much in the way of 

 soothing the irritation. Our reply was delayed 

 in order that we could thoroughly investigate 

 the grievance and arrive at the facts stated in 

 the communication. We endeavored and finally 

 succeeded in being as decorous as possible in 

 the tour through the laboratories. Certainly, 

 Messrs. S. & S. can appreciate the fact that our 

 class, or similar classes, are not characterized 

 by manifest lethargy or inactivity. 'Tis true 

 that the horn may have added to the enthusiasm 

 of the occasion but we have not the slightest 

 doubt but that the possessor, yielding to the 

 predominating good feeling, desired to speak 

 louder than words in his appreciation and praise 

 of the distinguished Squibbs' laboratories. 



IB' you have an idea our class is cutting no 

 ice, purchase a copy of the New York ' ' Times, ' ' 

 of December 31. 



Quite a celebration of fireworks in the phar- 

 maceutical laboratory on the day of manufac- 

 turing the gauze. Several explosions occurred 

 through none of a serious nature. 



At last our glee club committee has succeeded 

 in gathering together a few of our boys who 

 are endeavoring, even at the eleventh hour, to 

 make the club a success. The enthusiasm 

 shown at the class meeting at the opening of 

 the senior year predicted success in any under- 

 taking, but has proved to be more or less of a 

 failure. The flag committee which promised to 

 present the class with four designs has proved 

 unsuccessful. The Pin Committee crippled by 

 the voice of the class has been unable to obtain 

 an estimate as to the cost of the pin chosen. 

 Let it be hoped that the class meetings have a 

 full attendance and the important duties of 

 each member be rendered with enthusiasm. 



We wish to extend thanks to the Alumni 

 Association for the complimentary tickets pre- 

 sented. A majority of our boys will undoubtedly 

 represent the '96 class, and without doubt, the 

 occasion will prove of valuable social interest.

Rep. Sect. 2. 



The Western Druggist has an article which 

 is headed " Cycle in Drug Stores " He states 

 that bicycles are the natural companion to the 

 soda fountain. He asks whether the average 

 drug stores outside the larger cities are adapted 

 to carry as a side line a stock of bicycles or the 

 accessories, as lamps, oils, saddles, pumps, ce- 

 ments, etc., or both. The article ends: "These 

 are questions in which thousands of druggists are 

 at present much interested, and replies, based 



on experience or special investigation, would 

 be of great value." Baby carriages would be 

 more profitable and just as appropriate. 



A QUORUM of our older pharmacists think it 

 is never too late to learn, and congregate once 

 a week at Goerwitz' Beer Halle to discuss the 

 merits of the amber liquid, and at the same 

 time, under instructions of a son of sunny Italy, 

 try to master his language. Possibly after they 

 have enveloped several kilos of cerevesea Ital- 

 ian comes quite natural and they can speak it 

 without an effort. 



Their trusting spouses forgive their staying 

 out late for the sake of science. 



Poor deluded angels — bless them.
