Q VER 300 guests packed the main ballroom of the Warwick Hotel to celebrate Alumni Day of the Phila­ delphia College of Osteopathy on Fri­ day evening, June 10. The affair was one of the most enjoyable and success­ ful of the Alumni Banquets of recent years. Festivities of the evening were built around the 50th anniversary celebra-· tion of P.C.O., and two groups of the alumni were feted: the class of 1924. which was celebrating its 25th yea~ jubilee, and the "Old Timers," those who graduated in the years 1900 to 1910. A high point of this occasion was the Class Roll Call conducted by Dr. Paul T. Lloyd, Toastmaster of the evening. Dr. Lloyd called on every class which was celebrating an anni­ versary of five years or any multiple thereof. Among the "Old Timers" presented by Dr. Lloyd were Dr. ].

He explained the method used for the half of Osteopathy, and the philosophy of Osteopathy in coming years. He pointed out that the members of our profession, like any other group, are not 100';7a on either side of the social­ ized medicine question. but that, not­ withstanding our opinions, the fate of this problem is in the hands of politi­ cal and lay groups, and not the profes­ sions.

He knew all about us, the Osteopathic Profession, Osteopathic Physicians, yet he still liked us. Few know that his life ambition was to be an osteopathic physician, but denied this his great joy was to devote the best years of his life to the Osteopathic Profession. He was a true friend of the profession, for right or wrong, he was a constant and consistent champion of our cause. Louis G. Schacterle, "Lou" to many, "Pappy'' to many more, ''Shack'' to some of us, was a first generation American of German parents. His father was an "old fashioned'' German baker in Philadelphia. "Shack" had a diversity of business experience before becoming associated with work in edu­ cation. Prior to coming to us he had served Darlington Seminary and Ryder College.
