We are assembled today for the last time as students of the Farm School. Shortly we will receive our Diplomas and be off. And, as the time draws closer for our departure from this, our home, we cannot but help feeling depressed. True, it is a glorious occasion for us, when after three years of work and study we are about to receive our rewards and go out to begin our own inde- pendent lives. But friends-as we realize that we are leaving the school that has for three years fostered and taught us and as we begin to realize that in the space of a couple of hours we will have to part with our dearest friends and companions-we cannot help feeling sad and heartsick, even on this prideful occasion. Three years ago we came here from all over the United States. Those three years have passed so quickly that we can hardly realize it is over. When we met as a class for the first time we had some fifty odd members. Now as we meet for the last time we have but nineteen. These nineteen though have shown by their survival, that they have a sincere desire to enter the work for which they have studied and prepared so earnestly and to be- come such men as our Alma Mater can point to with pride and say These are Farm School Graduates. We also wish to take this occasion to thank our Board and Faculty for all that they have done for us and wish to assure them that we shall ever remember them for having taught, helped, inspired and befriended us. 301.1311 1... 114.-1.1 -.-.1 1 1.1 1 1 ini-vzoguzzmg 3.3 AGE FOUR Qbleamzr Presentation of the Hoe R. CHAIRMAN, Members of Board and Faculty. Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Students: The presentation of the Hoe has been a tradition in this school for over a quarter of a century. This simple ceremony is really the inaug,ration of the newleaders of the students of the National Farm School. Therefore, I now, as representative of the graduating class, do present this symbol of leadership to the Presi- dent of our successors. Before parting permit me words of advice. Do not try to students by reviving old methods Remember rather That all men to give you a few govern your fellow of class distinction. are created equal. If you want to be good leaders do not live apart from the lower classmen, but study their needs and so learn to help them along. Be willing to co-operate in all things with your Dean and Faculty because by so doing you will learn as We have, that they will do all within their power to make your stay a happy and profitable one. In bidding you farewell we hope your last year will be a success scholastically, athletically and socially and that you will endeavor to prove by your own selves as examples, that the existence of this wonderful and fast growing school of agriculture is not only a great credit to Dr. Krauskopf, its founder, but also a benefit to our country.

CHAIRMAN, Members of the Board, and Faculty, Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Students: The young man now going out into the agricultural world faces conditions widely different from those of a few years ago. The economic situation is the most optimistic in the history of agriculture. Credit conditions have vastly improved and people engaged in industry, commerce and finance are showing an increasing willingness and desire to help bring about a more favorable adjustment for the farmer. Their attitude has changed from that of a benevolent paternalism, to a growing realization of the importance and the immensity of the agricultural industry. The business world is now becoming more and more cognizant of the fact that the farmer himself must carry all the risks of weather, of flood and drought, of insect pests, and animal and plant diseases. It is into this atmosphere we young men are about to emerge and begin our life's work. Three short years ago we entered these halls with a vague idea as to what we were about to undertake. Obstacles and hardships rose up in our paths and the weaker ones were forced to withdraw. But gradu- ally each problem was coped with and overcome and today we are well versed in the new and progressive ideas in agriculture. which enables us to become producers or to assume the responsibilities of farm managers. To our beloved founder, the late Rev. Dr. Joseph Krauskopf, mere words cannot fully express the profound reverence and deep gratitude that we hold for him. It is through his wonderful foresight, untiring efforts and whole-hearted munificence that this school was made possible. Members of the Board and Faculty. If today we go out from these halls with lofty conceptions of the World's needs and of our duty to assist in supplying them, the credit belongs to you. You have not only taught us a proper attitude toward life, but have at the same time inspired and encouraged us by word and deed. Wherever we may cast our lots we shall always be mindful of your vast influence on our lives. Classmates! The hour has struck. The time for parting has arrived. Though We must separate, let us not part in spirit. Let us often think of those Farm School days and while we step out into a larger life, let us not hold fast to what we have gained, but utilize the advantages that have been ours. Let us catch a vision of what is expected of us and then fulfill our tasks to the best of our ability. Let us conscientiously put forth our best effort and leave behind us a record our Alma Mater can be proud of. To you all our beloved friends and schoolmates, the class of nine- teen hundred and twenty-five bids a last farewell, with our best wishes for the future, and sincere regret that our Farm School days are gone forever.

Heppy ,-lli Class History HROUGHOUT its stay in Farm School The Class of Twenty-five has made a record of which it is proud. Our accomplishments will long be remembered after we graduate. Our Infancy In March, 1922, we entered and for one whole week had a great time ex- plaining in detail our history and am- bitions to the attentive upper classmeng then came the S. S. A. and we were prop- erly HJ initiated and pronounced full- iiedged Frosh. It was the last real S. S. A. and we will never forget it. Classes began in earnest and our Farm work started. It was a real test and many of our classmates fell by the way- side. Our associations with the upper classmen instilled that N. F. S. spirit in us and practice began for the Freshman- Junior Baseball Game. With grim joy we squelched the Juniors in our first fight, by the score of 6 runs to 4. We contributed Stringer, Regal, Borushik, Mart Cohien, Rosenblum and Sobel, to the varsity baseball team. Of course the Juniors declared our baseball win luck. That we had a horseshoe around our necks, but we proceeded to prove that it was skill, not brute strength, such as they depended on and in the Fall once more showed our superiority in athletics and outplayed them in football. The score at the last whistle was 3 to 0 in our favor. We had strengthened the varsity football team with Goldstein and Alexander. To crown our success we sponsored a Freshman-Junior Banquet. Can you imagine all the hearts tand-Q ?J-J broken at the affair. All of the time wasn't confined to eating, however, much to the regret of some of those present. The speeches were some of the livest, new- est, straight-from-the-shoulder talks that have been delivered in Farm School. It was the greatest Freshman Banquet in the history of the school. We Grow This first year of hard work and self- denial had proven too much for some of our boys and we entered our Junior year with thirty-two men. Our recent knocks and slams, still tingling, so plen- tifully and unstintingly rendered by the graduated Senior class, especially Lan- dau, Malkin, Platt and Abromowitz, and added to this our still fresh battle wounds served to make us hard-hearted Juniors. We had the Freshmen com- pletely overwhelmed and cowed--for a detailed account of our iron-handed atroci- ties I referryou to the future Seniors. PAGE NINETEEN' Eleaner Into every life comes a shadow and we had more than our share. In the month of April we suffered a severe set- back When fourteen of our best athletes and scholars left Farm School. This, when added to the loss of Elliot, Stringer, Cahan, Brewer, Ostrolenk, Victor, Klein, Shevitz and Entwisle, by promotion, left us in a serious condition. For a short time we were just bewildered individ- uals and our class was at a standstill. The '25 Spirit then broke loose and pulled us from the rut. We reorganized much smaller and less brilliant, our com- mon efforts keeping us united. This was our severest test, but we came out on top, full of fight. Youth will be served-due to the ab- sence of practically all our baseball players, we lost our baseball game to the Freshmen, 10-9. We did not have a spark of playing ability left. I am still wondering how we held them. It must have been our Do or Die spirit. The Freshmen were over-confident and we had a surprise in store for them. We will never forget that Beat 'em or Bust blood-raising spirit instilled by Coach Stringer. Luckily for the Freshies the game was played on a wet field or the score might have been 15-0, our favor, as it was, they earned a hair-line draw, 6-6. Let me tell you, we walked on air for several days after. To cap our memorable year, we launched our Junior Prom and worked night and day on it. It will be remem- bered as an exclusive affair. We had lots of fun and some Wonderful dancing exhibitions. This was the first year that the Juniors and Seniors had co-operated as a well-directed unit. The Senate and Council were revived and the term was a huge success. We were left full responsibility for the com- ing year. The Juniors were invited to a confab and plans were arranged under the leadership of our esteemed class- mate, Sam Rosenau. PAGE TWENTY And Behold 'vVe had evolved from al'Fresh Villain by the stages of hard work, more study and proper paternal guidance into shin- ing, manicured and petted, sleek and brilliant-minded Seniors! At last we had arrived, and, oh, boy! we took advan- tage of it. There was a marked attend- ance loss at details-for a short period. We were rudely jolted by the Faculty, demerits flew in all directions. Suddenly cooled off we reformed and became shin- ing examples of duty. You bet, we en- forced it. To start the year right the Fresh kids were introduced to the S. S. A. Some of them emerged marked thirty -third degree dumbells. Blood ran freely and the chicken-hearted cried for mercy. Ah, Mutts! They got it, from all sides. There was fun galore and the Babes went to bed that night meek and with a slight amount of sense banged into their iron-bound hat-racks. There was a shake-up in the Council and Senate with Rosenau at the helm and now they reached their peak in effi- ciency. The rule of the Senate and Council was felt by everyone. They were popular and attendance at meet- ings far outshone those of the past year. Dependable Sam carried the one-detail- a-day project over for a knockout, and we all enjoyed it. Led by the Seniors in the Council, the dances and outings were put across in good style. The movies were the best ever seen in Segal Hall-enough said. In Football, Captain Alexander had able support and capable team workers in Goldstein, Schneider, Blumberg and Mart Cohien. In Baseball, Captain Mike Cohien had as able team mates, his brother Mart, Alexander and Schneider. We worked with a tireless zest for our teams and had fair success. For honest work, you shall be re- warded, Senior Week arrived with a Eleaner goodly store of joys for us. We had an incomparable program, and added some fun at the expense of the underclassmen. Banquets, shows and movies were in abundant supply. Trips to farms and farm implement factories were many. At night around the bright log fire we sang of Good Old N. F. S. and told tales, swapped jokes and talked of our futures. What could be sweeter. This was the happiest, yet most eventful week in all the three years' stay. The Annual Senior Farewell Hop was held at the Armory in Doylestown, and if ever there was a dance, in which more pep, jazz and all-around frolicking pre- vailed then Iim a lizard-eye fur-eating nightingale. The girls and superb music combined to knock us silly. You just couldn't stand, and boy! those eyes! Woe is me, the memory of it makes me drunk. Oh! many the heart fand pinj went out to Her that night HJ on the doorstep. Sure, and we threw out our chests and promised a million in 60 days. We come to the last page in the his- tory of our class. XVe graduated one- third of the original enrolled students, from a class of 60 green city boys we emerge after a hard iight, victorious, a handful of 19 young men trained in agri- culture, sent off with encouraging whis- pers, to try our hand at the plow in this stern wide world. We hold up an envi- able record. Try to beat it-to all suc- ceeding classes. Class Prophesy N the year 1945, just twenty years after our graduation from the National Farm S c h o ol , I began arranging for a class reunion to be held in Alumni Hall, which building had been recently constructed, on the first Sunday of June, the annual Found- ers' Day. Taking my aeroplane out of my hangar near Vineland, where I had a poultry farm, I headed in the direction of Philadelphia. I landed on the roof of one of the large buildings, which was equipped as a landing place, checked my plane, and descended to the street. Knowing that Milton Schwartz had a haberdashery store on Chestnut street, I Wended my way to his store, and, after greetings had been exchanged, informed him of my mission. He promised to at- tend. As there were no more of my classmates in Philadelphia, I decided to go to New York, where I knew I would find several of the Twenty-fiversf' Landing in New York, on the roof of the Hyphen Hotel, which is situated be- tween the Ritz and the Carleton Hotels, I decided to stay there for a day or so. After engaging a room, I sallied forth in quest of my classmates. I bought a newspaper, the Evening Snooze, which was edited by Harry Rabinowitz. I im- mediately started for the office of the Evening Snooze to see Harry. I had just stepped into the subway car, when I felt a tap on my arm, turning, I saw Warren Rinenberg. He asked me where I was going, and,'upon my telling him, said he also was headed there, as he was a reporter on the Evening Snooze. He showed me an article which he had writ- ten in the paper, under big headlines, as follows: ELECTRICIAN ELFREY SOLVES PUZZLE OF THE AGE Baffling Mystery Cleared Up Martin Westin, formerly a conductor of the New York Traction Company, had been convicted of first degree murder in connection with the death of John PAGE TXVENTY-ONE Gleaner PAGE TXYENTY-TXYO ATE SEN THE 3-4 CU A ,..

He was put in the electric chair and the current turned on, but it never phased him. Again the current was turned on, and he did not bat an eyelash. The con- nections were inspected, and found to be perfect. Again the juice was tried, but had no effect on the man. Puzzled, they called in the great electrician, Alfred Elfrey, who, after learning the facts of the case, said: You can't kill this man by electrocutiong he is a non-conduc- tor! Rinenberg then showed me a poem in the paper, written by George Green, en- titled, Love and Dumb : He asked her on the back porch, On a moonlit starry night, Alas, he was excited, And did not get it right, You cannot live without, I And each other must us have we, So are you tell I will me If us marry won't she? The poor girl was dumbfounded, And knew not what to say, But opened up her mouth And poured forth words this way. Oh, dear boy, how me love us And me too love I we, But you we I are never Is able can us marry. Me a1'e a husband has got, Him is I much do loves, Alas, I is not are you have I, Nor can it ever was. After commenting on the genius that could evoke a poem like that, we reached our destination and got off. We then proceeded to Rabinowitz's oflice. After greetings were exchanged, I told them both of my plan. They both prom- ised to aid me if they saw any of our classmates whom I could not reach. As it was getting late, we all went to a restaurant for our evening meal, and then went to a minstrel show. To my surprise, I recognized the end man, al- though he was blackened up. my old classziiate, Mark Goldstein! He recited a poem called Ice Cream and Cake, which was very sweet, and he also sang a song entitled, Chlorine Blues. which sure was a knockout. I saw him after the performance, and he said he was tickled skinny to see me. I replied, Don t you wish it? I then told Fats about our class reunion, and he promised to attend. I then went to my hotel and retired for the night. The next morning I set out in my plane for Cleveland, the home town of two of my classmates. Arriving there, I soon found Benjamin Alexander, who was a landscape architect. He had designed the landscape gardening around many of the public buildings in Cleveland, and was now very successful. We then went to see Asher Finklestein, who had a pawnshop in Cleveland. As Abie's busi- ness was dull, we took him to see a ball game. But Asher became excited when the umpire called Three Balls, and looked straight at the rising young pawnbroker, and Asher thought that he was casting reflections on his business. So we took him home again. Alexander informed me that Dorell had a large dairy farm in Iowa and was making out well. He said he would write and tell Bill about our proposed reunion. The next day I left Cleveland and headed for a place called Crayling, near Bald Mountain, in Montana, where the Cohien brothers, Martin and Meyer, had a Health Farm. When I arrived there I met Mart first and I hardly recog- nized him-he had some hair on his head! Then Mike came up, and so they took me around their farm. There were about twenty-five men on their Health Farm, all living the t'Physical Culture way. The Cohienls raised fruit, grain, vegetables and strong men. I stayed at their place over night and the next day headed back East. PAGE TXVIZNTY-THREE Gleaner My next stop was Sandyville, New Jer- sey, at which place Leon Blumberg had a farm. As I walked down the road I saw a hay-load topple off a bridge into a large stream. I saw a boy jump from the load just in time to escape going over. I ran forward to see if I could be of any assistance. I asked the boy where he lived. He answered, I live up the road a little ways. So I said, All right, I'll take you home. To my sur- prise, he burst into tears, saying, Father wouldnit like it. I then questioned, Why wouldn't your father like it? But the little chap only continued to cry and would not answer. So I took him home. On the way I calmed him down a little and asked him what his name was and he answered, Leon Blumberg, Junior. When we reached the house, I saw no signs of his parents, so I said, Well, Junior, where is your father? The boy again started crying and replied, Father was in the hay! I immediately started back to the scene of the mishap, but was met half way by Blumberg, who had escaped unscathed, but was soaking wet. After he had changed into dry clothing he showed me around his farm. He had a fine general farm, a large orchard, and a good dairy herd besides. He informed me that Dave Brown had a large dairy place in New Jersey, not far from At- lantic City. I left Blumberg's farm and decided to spend a day in Atlantic City, and then return home. I was walking along Pacific Avenue, when I espied the fol- lowing legend on a window, Samuel Rosenau, Tailor. Outside, a sign read, Business Suits. I went in and asked him, How's business? and he answer- ed, Didn't you see the sign outside, reading 'Business Suits'? Nevertheless, I could see that Sam's business was in creasing! Sam informed me that he heard that Edward Schneider had gone to Africa to trade with the Zulus, and had been hailed by them as a brother. Sam also told me that Leo Gottleib, PAGE TWENTY-FOUR our soldier boy, had a poultry and fruit farm near Farm School, and also gave lessons in baby-chick raising to the Farm School students. Just then I saw Samuel Kapler pass- ing on the street. He was dressed Very stylishly and looked quite rich. I hailed him, and asked him what he was doing. He then told me that Louis Gottleib and he had established a queer partnership. Kapler lived in Atlantic City, and Luke lived in San Francisco, so that in this manner they kept plenty of money be- tween them. Rosenau and myself thought that it was quite an ingenious scheme. Bidding them farewell, I went to my plane and returned home. I went to sleep that night and dreamed of the com- ing class reunion, when the good old class of Nineteen-twenty-five should once more assemble in Farm School. Kenneth B. Mayer.

It had little support, no money for even a first issue and very slim prospects of suc- cess. It had two th'ngs though, an inspiration handed down by Victor of the Twenty-four Class and plenty of ambition. V Two years ago Victor, as pilot of the Gleaner undertook a step forward. He strove to put out a bigger and better Gleaner. lt is true he only put out three issues and that under adverse circumstances: but he accomplished a wonderful thing. That wonderful thing was to set a foundation for his successors to build upon and a new ideal to strive for. Upon that foundation we have built and towards that ideal we strove. Now as a new Staff steps into office we will attempt to look back a little and then look forward a Whole lot. To repeat--When we began we had nothing but a foundation which at best was some- whatshaky and an Ideal that inspired us. To that was added a good Business Manager and we were off. Came the struggle to raise funds and collect material which proved very discourag- ing: but we were not downed. The more knocks we got the more determined we be- came. Then lo!-our first issue appeared. With misgivings and fears for our 'first born' we distributed the copies and behind locked doors waited for the commentg when lo and behold a miracle came to passl Praise and congratulations poured in from all sides. To say that this gave us new inspiration would not be adequately describing our feelings. For days we walked on air and when we began on our second issue it was with greater enthusiasm and added determination. And so the issues appearedg each one an improvement over the last and each one bringing with it new inspirations until it began to seem that nothing short of bankruptcy would stop us from our phenomenal ascent. Such was almost the case though. We ran out of funds and began to despair again, but we had not reckoned with the Business Manager. A huge movement was set afoot to widen the circulation ofthe Gleaner and broaden its field of advertising. The entire Board was canvassed and called upon for cooperation and those tremendously busy gentlemen took the time to lend us their ears and pocketbooks. New advertisers were secured and we soared up into the dizzy heights again. From then on our path was strewn with roses. So, we kept on and published five regular issues and then began upon this Yearbook. Again our empty coffers leered at us but once more we appealed to our Board through Mr. Grant Wright and as before they responded open heartedly. Had we the necessary requisites we would build a monument to Mr. Wright for his wonderful help. Busy as he was editing a magazine and holding conventions he gave us much of his precious time and again we were lifted from the Valley ofthe Shadow and deposited in the Kingdom of Happiness. Now our task is doneg the past lies behind us and we will introspect a little. For what we did we seek no laurels. We are content that we have had a fairly successfull PAGE TWENTY-SEVEN' Gleaner year. But-if the foundation we have strug- gled to make more solid and the Ideals for which we so earnstly worked are allowed to become neglected after we have gone, we shall feel that our year has been a sad failure. We are not attempting to be pessimistic, please understand, on the other hand-we feel from the bottoms of our hearts that our work shall be resumed and carried on even better than we have done. Why?-BECAUSE- We are sure that an ambitious and thoroughly capable staff is succeeding us. BECAUSE- this new Staff has a much better start and larger capital with great prospects for more, and BECAUSE-we feel that the student body has been thoroughly awakened to the necessity of a good publication and that if they are kept interested they will respond with alacrity and help the staff to achieve big things. . Are not all these reasons enough? They most certainly are and we, who now retire, shall for those reasons look forward to the coming issues of the new Gleaner and do earnestly hope that our expectations shall be lived up to. Good luck to you, new staff! Establish the Gleaner more firmly as an institution among the other leading Farm School activ- ities and your work shall not have been in vain, for when you, too, go out, you shall be happy as only those that have done some- thing great and good can be. af5?e,f sy 'ft Q i . If ytl ' , fl V X at 1 b X I 3 X S. COLTON '26 A Dissertation Upon R. EFORE I begin my theme proper I wish to give a few words of apology to the reader, who will assume that this is unnecessary and that anyone who attempts to write seriously about such a thing as O. R. must have an abundance of that substance in his head. My apology tif such may be necessaryj is as follows: I have on many occasions been touched by that won- drous substance tclear down to the pit of my stomach. in factj. and to let it Pauli Tw13NTY-EIGHT sink into the depths of oblivion or allow it to become a has been along with Prince. the old uniforms and other such wonderful though unnecessary things, would. to my mind, be a calamitous sin and would touch me personally even deeper than the gooey of which I speak has done. Which is saying a mouthful. Perhaps a word of explanation would not come amiss, although I hardly think that there is anyone who has not had the pleasure of its acquaintance. O. R. Gleaner is an abbreviation for Old Reliable and is the only known abbreviation which has not been used in cross word puzzles. If you are still in the dark-allow me to further enlighten you. Old Reliable is the nickname for a most marvelous substanceg a dirty golden-hued paste, in thickness so dense that a five-pound brick would not sink in a saucer full of itg of taste so delightful that it is not easily forgotten and as a substitute, has no equal. I speak of Farm School molasses. O. R. is not of those things which has jumped into instantaneous prominence at Farm Schoolg on the contrary, it's rise to fame has been slow and deliberate, but sure. It was first introduced in that dim hazy past when the school was struggling to become established. The late Rev. Krauskopf, having started the school on its career, had found it hard to raise expenses, and naturally the pantry was not as plentiful as it might have been. In order to offset that. the cook tried to set upon the table something that would act as a substi- tute for everything the boys did not have and at the same time tickle their palates in order that they might not tire of it. Whether they tired of it or not is a ques- tion, but there is no doubt about it hav- ing tickled their said palatesg it still does. How long the cook hunted for a substitute is not known, but he Hnally struck upon this molasses and we have stuck to it ever since. Again I repeat- there is no known substance that can compare with it. It is made in Louisiana from sugar cane and is put into heavy barrels fwithout having been refinedj and then shipped to F. S. I do not be- lieve there is any other outlet for that product. The O. R. is our best friend and our worst enemy. It is like the Egyptian Pyramids, having remained intact thru countless years and having out-lasted everything else, whether great or small. It is our closest adherent and is always with us. It absolutely cannot be dis- couraged. It has that perseverance and persistence which is bound to attain suc- cess against all opposition. In fact, its perseverance is such that it never allows us to lose sight of it. 'Whether it be Monday or Tuesday, NVednesday or Thursday, Friday or Saturday, or even Sunday: whether it be Breakfast or Din- ner or Supper: whether it be a banquet or a meager repast, molasses is always in the center of the table. One cannot help seeing it. In its position it is the cynosure of all eyes. Yea. verily-spuds are only served three times a day, but O. R. is never even removed from the table. Sometimes I begin to wonder whether it is not a part of the table it- self, executed by some clever craftsman. In taste it is unlike anything else. All I have but to do is close my eyes and I can taste it on my tongue now. It is a ''never-to-be-forgotten. lf smeared on a slab of bread the consumer cannot taste the bread. If eaten plain-but I shud- der to discourse on that subject. A sweet, yet bitter, luscious, yet repellent taste, the only Way I can adequately describe it is by comparison with color. It has a green taste. If any food, of any style or manner, whether it be toasted cheese or oyster stew fminus the oysters usuallyb coffee or soup, does not agree, we resort to O, R. It is a blessed curse! Not only as a food is it famous. Its uses are many and varied and I believe that an entire volume can be written on each. Not only as food was it used, but as a shampoo for head and any other part of the body, as a grease to protect the sking as a varnish to cover it and at the peak of its popularity as a substi- tute for the famous tar in tarring and feathering. Upon the entrance of a new Freshman class into F. S. they were immediately introduced to it, or rather, it was intro- duced upon them. It became their first PAGE TWENTY-NINE Gleaner PAGE THIRTY COUNCIL THE Ll1'tZ Riuenberg, M. Goldstein, S. Rosenuu QPrcsideutJ, M. Schw XV. Front Row- EIIZEIHBI' close friend at school and as such re- mained throughout their stay. I myself can recall instances of its application to various parts of my anatomy and when I say that the feeling brought about by contact with the skin is worse than an attack of poison ivy I do not believe that I am exaggerating much. I can also re- call an instance when one of my class- mates was unable to take a bath after receiving a heavy dose and had to sleep overnight with O. R. on his body. The following morning he had to put his clothes on over his pajamas, because he could not tear them off, and when the opportunity for a bath arrived he had to steam himself for about an hour be- fore he could pry his clothes off. I believe he has not gotten over the effects of it yet. It was more popular as an application to a Freshman's skin than rotten eggs even. No S. S. A. was com- plete unless a tub of O. R. was present and distributed plentifully. A feature of these S. S. A.'s was to coat several Freshmen with molasses and then sprinkle them with feathers. The efect was wonderfulg they looked like the con- nection between a fowl and a human being and came as close to bridging a gap in the history of evolution as any thing else that was ever discovered by scientists. I can go on thus almost for- ever and then not exhaust my subject, but I must reckon with the patience of my readers. One more feature of this marvelous substance and I shall be through. You have but to speak to an Alumnus and he will inevitably bring O. R. into the conversation. In such instances it does not do to attempt to discourage him, because it will only serve to make him more talkative and cause him to elucidate for niany hours upon the sub- ject of O. R. I have had an Alumnus of the Class of 1904 tell me with mist in his eyes that he would give almost any- thing for a taste of that stuff again and I believe he would have gone to the din- ing hall for it had he not had to make a train. Just think-the taste of it and the influence it exerted over him lasted for some twenty years without abating- Opium thou art deposed! As a parting word I would make an appeal to you students who are to remain here for some time yet, to keep O. R. from dying out of prominence and fall- ing into the category of useless and for- gotten things. It will not be a hard thing to do because that substance is ever be- fore you, but what I fear is that you may come to accept it as part of the dining room fixtures just like the clock over the mantelpiece and in that attitude may even look straight at it without seeing its ricn dirty yellow color or even be tempted to taste of that wonderful lus- ciousness that positively does not remind one of honey. To sum it all upg I would ask you not to look at it with unseeing eyes and if I may offer a suggestion for keeping it alive I would say, taste it once in a while and you will not forget, try though you might.

S.-Galob '26 PAGE THIRTY-ONE Gleaner Queed How many times have we picked up a book in an idle moment, and sat down to read, hoping that that particular piece of literature would satisfy our mood? How many times have we read the first few chapters and flung the book aside as a hopeless case? Then is when we wish someone would whisper magic words in our ear that would bring within our grasp the fulfilment of our desires. Henry Sydnor Harrison has donated a delightful satisfier for our reading palate in his book, Queed.', One needs only to read the first page in order to have his interest aroused. and an irresistible desire to continue manifests itself. It is light reading, humorous, with a refined air and is considerably instructive.

BLUMBERG '25 The Year In Agriculture EFORE deciding whether or not the past year, agriculturally speaking, was a success, a few important factors must be considered. First, the exceedingly persistent rain- fall in the spring which made practically impossible the proper preparation of the soil. Second, the ideal conditions for insect pests, plant diseases and the prolific growth of weeds. But it can be said to our credit that by dint of hard labor and splendid co- operation on the part of the student body and faculty most of these obstacles were overcome. Taking everything into consideration, the general farms had a very successful season. Although one of the poorest corn crops in years was experienced, we were able to pull through and ill three silos and besides have enough corn for next year's seed. As if to make up what the corn crop lacked our mows were deluged by tons of extra quality fine timothy, clover and alfalfa hay. The rains that were poison for the corn, were food for our wheat and oat crops and they far exceeded our fondest expectations. As we were fortunate to get in all of our winter wheat, rye was not planted. A fair crop of Japanese millet was harvested and was used for green feed and hay. Potatoes were grown with medium success and many new methods were introduced as to their culture. The milk productions for the previous season has been above average and found a constant market in Philadelphia. The livestock outside of a few minor set-backs is in unusually fine condition. Much new machinery was secured in the past year, such as up-to-date potato diggers, manure spreaders, sprayers and numerous other implements. In the Horticulture Department a bumper crop of peaches was realized. Our peaches this year were disposed of very quickly and profitably. The apple crop was below normal on account of the excessive rainfall during blossoming period. The berry crop, especially currants PAGE TllIR'l'Y-Tl'lREE Glzaner -pl. MDMM -,-' Miad-an .MQ ,,,.

They were pruned and mulched and are in tip-top shape for next season. Tomatoes and cabbages were the out- standing crops among the vegetables, although the kitchen was bountifully supplied with rhubarb, lettuce, carrots, sweet corn, salsify, spinach and celery. Many additions were made to the nur- sery, including ten thousand seedlings from the State Forestry Department. In the Greenhouses the situation can be given in a nutshell. Each crop of flowers came into bearing right on time and was immediately harvested and marketed at top-notch prices. In addi- tion to this, many new house plants were propagated for the local and general market. In the poultry department the year was started off right by a successful in- cubation and brood - rearing season. Broilers were in steady demand and good percentage of egg production was kept up throughout the entire year. In conclusion it can be said that although the above report was written in an optimistic note. we feel that each preceding year has been but a step for- ward to bigger things and that the suc- ceeding years shall bring with them still greater achieyements-therefore the optimism.

Baseball, as is usual, inaugurated our Athletic Year. What activity could be more fitting for a mid-summer sport? We waged thru our season and en- joyed it. Our stiff schedule gave us a keener interest and stronger will. NVe engaged in some ten or twelve games, won 50 per cent. and lost two in over- time tilts. Coach Campbell will live in our minds even as do the Connie Mack's of the game. He was with us heart and soul. Mike Cohien assisted him on the field as Captain of the nine Those who were awarded their letters. PAGE THIRTY-FIVE Gleaner in return for their all on the diamond were: Mike Cohien fCapt.J, ss Joey Stringer, lb Elliot, p Mart Cohien, c Bozo Alexander, 3b VVop Santoria, 2b Joe Kleinfeld, lf Mack Doremus, p Vfiseman, rf Borushik, cf-2b Regal, 3b-c Dick ll ll Honorary F's were awarded Schneider and manager Cop,' Gottleib. In addi- tion to his FYI Mike Cohien received the small gold star that designates Cap- taincy. Coach Campbell was presented with a small gift by the Captain and upon the same occasion, Santoria was elected to lead the 1925 aggregation. In the customary Freshman vs. Junior post-season classic, the Juniors upheld their dignity trouncing the Yearlings 22-2. During the season of between and betwixt, tennis shared the limelight with the inter-club meet. Manager K. B. Mayer of the court, was always busy serving the enthusiasts in the game of 'love one'- -'love all'. In the inter-club affair the tTillers' captured first as a club and Joey Stringer as the individual high scorer. Nat,' Brewer and Max Regal were the other lone stars of the meet. The warm weather gave us quite a lengthy swimming season, hence the newly christened Laubner's Lake was appreciated and fully utilized. A short rest and we are headlong into the major sport of schools. Stocked with new togs and a brand new Coach we started the season with that real up and at 'em' gridiron spirit. We won our first two games by overwhelm- ing scores, but then we subsided, not so PAGE THIRTY-SIX much in our playing, but as far as vic- tories were concerned. Our men coached by an able personage in Mr. Rogers and captained on the field by Alexander, surely possessed the will and fight. In the reverses that we suffered we were never disgraced. our opposition was of the classy variety and they will never forget us. The following men are eligible for letters: Alexander CCapt.J, Elliot, Stringer, Brewer, Santoria, Goldstein, Horwitz, Kline, Regal, Blumberg, Co- hien, Gottlieb. The following are in line for num- erals: Borushik, Lev, Levin, Greenneld, Kaplan, Kleinfeld, Kisber, Walters. The small gold star will be awarded to Captain Alexander, as is precedent. The students did not forget Coach Rogers, who was the feature of our sports and its rejuvenation. Captain Alexander presented him with a small token of our appreciation of his loyal services. In the traditional inter-class football feud the Freshmen were treated unusu- ally rough, suffering a 33-0 defeat. Basketball is in full swing, we have a good quintette on the go and expect keen competition. A few games have been played, but the court season is still young. The men doing the Ucaging act are: Borushik, Regal, Kleinfeld, Stringer, Santoria, Schnieder, Davido- witz, Horwitz, Gordon, Semel and Man- ager Levin. Coach Rogers has arranged the fol- lowing schedule: Dec. 5-Bethlehem-away. 12-Souderton-away. Dec. Dec. 22-Radnor H. S.-away. Dec. 26-Lansdale - away - varsity and second team.

CLASS and QLUBS The Senate's Second Year HAVE the honor of reviewing the achievements of the Senate of this year. I say honor because it is a record to be proud of. There are two great outstanding achievements of the Senate. The first is that it has taught the student body how to choose a representative govern- ment, to obey its laws and to respect its judicial decisions. The second outstanding achievement is that we, on the Senate, have been taught that a public oflice is a public trust and that we must forget our friends and vote against them if they are guilty. Can you imagine a fellow voting that his best friend be punished? Yes! Gentlemen, it's true. Before I go into the concrete achieve- ments of the Senate, let me tell you briefly what it is. The Senate consists of three Seniors and three Juniors. elected by their re- spective classes. It is presided over by the President ofthe student body, who is elected at large. There is also a Vice President. who acts as Secretary, but has no vote. The President may vote in case of a tie. The Senate has three functions. legis- lative, executive, and judicial. That is, make the laws, enforce them, and punish the guilty. All business of the Senate falls under one of three headings: class distinction, general morals, and relations with the faculty. For the iirst time class distinction has been put on a fair basis. No longer do irresponsible and Sometimes brutal com- mittees punish Freshmen without trial. The one detail system stands out as the greatest innovation ever attempted by any student government of Farm School and after four months' trial is acclaimed as a success. The Senate has constantly watched out for the welfare of the student bodyg always jumping in and doing things when needed. Senate law has been very strictly en- forced on an impartial basis. As for our relations with the Faculty, they are excellent. This is shown by the fact that everything asked of the Faculty has been granted. Not detracting a bit from the marvel- ous leadership of Sam Rosenau, I think the record this year would not have been so good if it wasn't for the foundation laid down by the last Senate under the leadership of S. Cahan. This year the Senate gained prestige and was able to accomplish many things. The new Senate will have to work very hard to keep up with the record of its brilliant predecessors. M. S.

But starting out as we are this year, With a clean slate, an abuiflance of talent, and above all, the determination to put it across big, we feel sure it will prove more profitable and entertaining than ever before. Through the inspiration of Coach Rogers and the vigor of the entertain- ment committee, programs are being Worked out that can be looked to with pleasure and looked back upon with the satisfaction of time well spent. If you are called upon to take part, respond with celerity, put into it your best effort for the benefits in the end are yours alone. Among those members of the enter- tainment committee who will take part in the first program are S. Colton CPresi- dent of the Societyj, H. Fishstein and E. Wilson. W. R. Powel '27, Sec'y ,.T11.... The Orchestra Probably one of the most pressing needs of the student body in 1923, was social activities. It was impossible for us to have many dances with the expense of hiring an outside orchestra. Of course, there were always talented boys in the school who could entertain on one in- strument or another, but never enough to compose an orchestra. However, with the advent of Hy Levin, in '23, it seemed as though We ought to be able to assemble enough accompani- ment around his piano to form a har- monious whole. Our dreams were realized in a few weeks after continuous practicing, under the leadership of the gifted Irving Vic- tor, whose fiddle has a natural ability to make your feet restless, and who could resist stepping out when Goldy Goldstein started to roll those drums. Sambo Rosenau, the Pensacola Saxo- phone artist, added his talent to Lou Rummelis Clarinet and Joe Kleinfeld's banjo and within a month nine-tenths of the students were dance crazy. The boys who couldnt dance took advantage of the nightly practices to learn. Since then we have had dances almost every month in the summer and several through the winter. Our banquets have been enlivened with jazz music, as well as our Saturday night suppers occasion- ally. Sunday night movies and assem- blies in addition to all its activities in the school, the orchestra has played at many outside functions, Neshaminy and Warrington among them. It will play at the Senior Dance in the Doylestown Armory next month. We lost Victor thru graduation last year, but have found an able successor in Regal, and have passed thru a very successful year under Hy Levin's lead- ership. The addition of Walter Huff has increased the value of our Clarinet de- partment considerably. Although we will lose Goldstein and Rosenau this year, we already have a drummer in Lou Santoria, who has been assisting Goldy from the start. So we are all set for 1925, boys. Don't be afraid to invite your best girl. J. M. K. '26 Library Notes The inquiry, when will we move the books into the new library has at last had its final answer. February 10th, Mr. Mayer, the head of the Floricultural Department, and his Freshmen boys, with the aid of Mr. Rogers, coach a n d social director, hustled the five thousand volumes from the Chemical Laboratory to the Classic Building to be their future home. The books were hurriedly placed on PAGE 'I'HiR'i'Y-NINE Gleaner the shelves to make ready for the open- ing, Friday evening. General Works are arranged system- atically in two sections on the left hand side of the door. The few volumes on Philosophy are in their section, but need better organi- zation. The books on Religion will be prop- erly catalogued so that the readers may find any book he wants without dith- culty. Sociology comprises a much larger collection of books since the Chamber of Commerce at 'Washington has con- tributed so generously to our library, a number of instructive reports from the Interior Department. Philology occupies the next section. It has a limited number of books, as the textbooks belong to the Academic De- partment and are kept in a book room in Ullman Hall. Natural Science has a much larger family than the former subjects. These books are studied by the boys who are in pursuit of technical knowledge, and really are anxious to meet requirements for promotion. Under Useful Arts the library contains many interesting works, especially Agri- cultural subjects. These shelves are vis- ited by those who have come to the school for a purpose and intend to reach the goal in three years. Fine Arts is another small collection of books, This is owing probably to the fact that those subjects have not been required in the school. Literature. the largest family of the nine, contains books most frequently asked for, therefore they have the great- est circulation of all classes. This col- lection is placed on shelves in the gal- lery and the reader must climb a wind- ing iron staircase if he must read fiction. At present the visitor will search with diiiiculty for the book wanted. He will rind Shakespeare and Jack London rest- ing side by side on a shelf. PAGE FORTY History, Biography, Geography and Travel comprise interesting reading. Many works of noted historians rest on the shelves of this section. Biography of widely known men and women will interest both young and old. Readers may sit in the comfortable chairs and journey through home and foreign lands with distinguished travelers. The library will soon be classified by the Dewey Decimal System, then our readers will enjoy convenience. All in attendance Friday evening, January sixteenth, will long remember the opening of this splendid edifice, The Dr. Krauskopf Memorial Library. Ad- dresses made by Mr. Allman, Mr. Hodges and Dr. Ostrolenk, with singing by the school interested the audience. The students showed their apprecia- tion of this stately building which has been given to The National Farm School for their use by full attendance on the seventeenth and eighteenth to study and read. I feel honored to be the first librarian of this beautiful structure, which is a lasting memorial to the school's great founder. Rebecca Churchman, Librarian. The Nightingales The Glee Club, or as generally known, the Nightingales, were organized in No- vember by Mrs. Ostrolenk. Manynfel- lows reported for the first few practices, but they soon diminished to the follow- ing: Mayer, Fishstein, L. Blumberg, A. T. Cohen, L. Kline, Rosenthal, Klienfeld, M. Snyder, Wilson, S. Katz, Powel, Huff, Walters and Levin. On Tuesday and Wednesday nights we hold practice. We have learned the following songs: Pilgrim's Chorus, Blue Danube, All Through the Night, Ken- tucky Babe. The Lord Is Great, and Praise Ye the Father. Having sung the Pilgrim's Chorus at Chapel. Mrs. Groman has greatly assisted us by playing the piano. Watch for our Big Concert. A. T. C.

P., I, together with a band of other archeologists set out upon an expedition of research. This expedition was sponsored by a society of International Scientists who had come upon, by accident, some knowledge of a long extinct race of people. The only knowledge they had of this ancient race was that the Males were called Sheiks, and the Females, Flappers. Also that they existed in an age of hitherto un- heard of vice, crime and corruptiong gleaned from an ancient and age- dimmed manuscript which had been found by one of their explorers in a sand hill on the island of Jazzaria. This time- worn pamphlet, besides containing a queer writing which, after much labor, they deciphered, had an inscription on its cover which read Hot Dog ! It con- tained many pictures of queer looking people., What they considered to be the male of the specie were dressed inflong garments of many colored and hairy substances, not unlike the skins of wild animals. They wore upon their lower extremities shiny casements. Their heads were encased in a queer flat cover- ing similar to dishpans and from their lips protruded small, round whitish pro- tuberances from which vapors were ap- parently being emitted. II VVhat they thought were the Females, were dressed in tight-fitting garments which enveloped their bodies from neck to knees and showed them to have beau- tiful forms. They wore nothing upon their heads. This probably was because upon their heads grew abundant masses of wavy silk-like substance which was chopped short so as to expose that por- tion of the body which upheld the head. They also wore upon their feet shiny casements not unlike to those worn by the Males, but different in shape and being set upon long, slim stilts. The por- tion of their bodies between the feet and knees gave the learned men much cause for heated discussions. Some said these lower parts of the body were covered with a filniy. gauzy material while others claimed they were entirely bare. These few and brief discoveries led to the development of a great interest and desire for more knowledge of these long- forgotten people. It was therefore for the purpose of making new discoveries that would cast more light upon this in- teresting subject that this expedition, of which I was the leader, set forth. After due preparations had been com- pleted, our conveyance mounted into the air and was oi. For several days we floated thru space and finally landed upon a vast island which from our charts PAGE FORTY-ONE, Q b Eleaner proved to be Jazzaria, and our destina- tion. III The mechanicians unpacked and set together our land conveyors. Then we each provided ourselves with a vial of stimulant for the body and were off. For several days we traveled hither and thither in search of promising signs in the vegetation or sands. Things did not look promising for awhile and there was talk of going backg but one day as we were about to give up hope, a mem- ber of the party stumbled upon a conical- shaped stone. Feverislily we dug and un- covered it. It was about three feet in height and bore an inscription upon one side. All of us having learned to de- cipher the symbols, we were able to trace out the faint words, Bucks County. With this discovery to urge us on, we searched and dug eagerly and when we were about ready to give up, another of the members fell upon a petrified piece of Wood projecting from the sand. There was more hurried digging and finally an- other similar projection was discovered. When both were sufiiciently uncovered, it was found that they rested upon a platform of fiat overlapping slates, and between them was stretched a wire. More digging revealed the platform to be a roof of some edifice. We were now on the road to great discoveries and our zeal was great. For many days we dug and cleared the debris until finally as a reward for our labors, we had uncovered a great building. An edifice that was punctured by windows and whose walls were made of reddish rectangles that showed here and there beneath a cover- ing of rough whitish plaster. A few more days and the entire struc- ture was uncovered, exposing to us three entrances. Above the center entrance in the same writing were the words- Ullman Hall! We made ready and en- tered with the idea of starting from the bottom and exploring upward. We first P AC ii lfo li 'i' Y -T xx' ci descended into a large, long hallway. Its walls were broken here and there by doors. Upon one of these doors was beautifully painted the words, The Gleaner Editorial Room. This was in- deed a discovery. Presumably it was the office of a pub- lication of some sort. We therefore forced the door and entered. Upon illuminating the place we beheld a most marvellous scene. In the room was a large case contain- ing many books and manuscripts. About the walls were shelves containing more manuscripts, but the center of the room was what claimed our attention most. There was a long table surrounded by many chairs. Lol and behold! in one of these chairs sat the skeleton of one of these ancient peoples. It was leaning over the table and perusing a small pamphlet which had upon it little checker-like boxes. In his hand was a long, slender, pointed tool, presumably used for making these ancient figures, and before him, on the table, lay an im- mense pile of tablets of curious color and design. It was one of these pamphlets that drew our attention most after we had finished examining the skeleton. This was held in his left hand and the digit finger was supporting a page which on examination, read as follows: 'Onas,' Girls, how do you do it? Your paper is a model for all of us, especially the exchange and literary de- partments. Of all our exchanges, we have received the most lasting ideals from you. It is indeed a revelation and we are proud to have you with us. 'Mount Airy World,' you have in- deed been our staunchest friend on the gridiron and diamond and it behooves us to say that this spirit will continue. Your magazine is a true criterion of diligent labors. 'Optimistf we feel that your paper comes nearest to a college standard. Best of all are your cuts and cartoons. We want to see you oftener. Gleaner 'The 'l'orch,' we cannot fully express our wholesome appreciation of your periodical. To say it is good, even very good, would be miserably insufficient. Although seemingly limited to space, your literary department is a cracker- jack, but why not have more cuts to lend variety? After examining the other pamphlets we recognized the aforementioned and also the following: The High School Record, On Bounds, The Perkiomenite, The Gopher Country- man, Elm Tribune, The Mirror, The Archive, Southron, Cliveden. College and State, M. A. C. Record, Tech Tatler, The Brown and White, Senior Review, The Archive, The Portlight, Blue and Gray, Blue Bird, Piper, The High School, Junto, Tuskegee Student, Science and Craft, Magpie, Belfrey Owl, Vanguard, Elchanite, The Lore, The Furrow, and still a great many others too numerous to mention. Recognizing an important discovery, we proceeded to explore the remaining rooms, hut to our dismay, found them in utter ruin. Still, what with our enlightening discovery of their literature we were positive of find- ing clues to their Sc ence and Art. Every one being satisfied with our his- torical and Scientific explorations and discoveries. we proceeded to start for home to show our people what treasures we had found. On a sunny day four months after our lucky arrival we again set off into the air and steered for home. Elated? You bet! 11- 1 CAMPUS News REPORTERS SOLIS GALOB '26 MARTIN ROSENTHAL '26 RAYMOND LEV '27 WILLIAM WOLFSON '27 Literary Society Shows Its Stuff ITERARY SOCIETY held its first showing Sunday night, January 25, in Segal Hall. It was a tre- mendous success, especially for the little time given for preparation. The orchestra just pepped the stu- dents up. Mr. Colton, president, gave a short talk, on the future success of the society. The entertainment then started with Mr. Snyder reading a poem, written by Ween, on an episode of the life of our famous leader, Mr. Levin. There was much applause. Mr. Friefield next, gave an exhibition of soft shoe dancing with the piano as an accompaniment. A very comical sketch headed by Mr. Fishstein was a huge success and much credit must be given him and his com- pany. This was followed by the quartet, Huff Brothers, Walters and Silver, ren- dering us a few ballads, which were very good, considering the little practice they had together.

Louis Santoria '26 The Forum Opens With a Bang The student body feels a deep grati- tude to Miss Manners for a wonderful evening's entertainment, and for the lasting benefits derived from her inspir- ing readings. Although we have been honored by many addresses from dis- tinguished personages never before have we been shown, so beautifully, how to get the truly worth-while things out of literature. Miss Manners has made a profound impression on us and it is our earnest desire to be a part of her audience soon again. J. M. K. '26 Dr. W. E. Taylor There is an adage, I believe, to the effect that the anticipation of an event is productive of more joy than the actual realization. But there are exceptions to most every rule, and this was, indeed a most notable one. While the memory of his previous visit still lingered in my mind, and I looked forward with the greatest pleasure to his coming visit, nothing can express the feelings that coursed through me when I beheld him once again. Momentarily I forgot where I was. as my eyes followed his every move, as my brain thirsted for a fraction. Oh! the minutest fraction of the knowl- edge that is his. W'hat he would say, the message he had come to deliver, mat- tered little. The prime factor was that he was here. And then he spoke. I hung on every word for fear that I would lose the weight of its significance. Facts he knew, but what was more, he knew how to use them. Vision! Ah, that is the word. And Inspiration. The vision and inspiration to carry on in Agriculture. From the moment that lirst you saw him you knew that here was a man who was truly a son of the soil, imbued with the broad vision and inspiration of the suc- cess of agriculture. And fired with a sincerity of purpose that swept all be- fore it. And yet, behind it all, was the man, sparkling of eye, and silvery- tongued, and with that seemingly un- canny ability to bridge the gap and to convey his message with precision and exactness. I am thankful, and happy. Thankful to Dr. Taylor for the most wonderful lecture, but what is Worth infinitely more to me, for the inspiration to carry on. I am happy in the thought that once more have I seen, and heard, the source of my inspiration. M. Grossfield '26, Krauskopf Memorial Library, January 26, 1925. CDr. W. E. Taylor is the head of the Soil Culture Department of the John Deere Plow Co., Moline, Ill., and the active head of 34 farms located in every section of the Eastj 1.-.l-i A Dream Come True Our illustrious founder's dream of many years was at last realized when the Joseph Krauskopf Memorial Library was formally opened Friday evening, .Ianuary 16, 1925. PAGE l7UR'liY-l lVlC Eleaner The speakers of the evening were Mr. Allman, chairman of the Building Committee, hearty devotee of the school, and our old friend, Mr. Hodges, who is one of the editors of the North Ameri- can. Mr. Allman related how the school was foundedg how from the thirty-five hundred dollars that We started With, our founder and the Board made it grow into over a million dollars. He told how when we Iirst started we had only Pioneer Hall: later a few more buildings were added and even up to seven years ago we didn't have one modern building like those we now boast of and of the new building plan which has given us Lasker Hall, Ullman Hall, the Library and Dairy Barn, which is under construc- tion now. Much credit should be given to our able and devoted friend, who is giving so much of his time and means for us- Mr. Allman. Mr. Hodges delivered one of the most interesting orations heard at Farm School for some time. He told us of the most impressive address he had ever heard, delivered by the late David Lubin, in Farm School several years ago. He also spoke about the importance of Agri- culture to the United States and stated that the future of our government de- pends largely upon our farmers getting the maximum production per acre. The description of libraries in general related by Mr. Hodges is one that will not soon be forgotten. It told us how a library is a place where Wealth, fame, popularity, space and time are all bridged and the great masters are put into intimate personal contact with us. I am sure that if we have more speak- ers of this caliber and standing the suc- cess of the Forum is certain. Martin Rosenthal '26 E. Katz says that he likes Steinman because he never speaks a hasty word. PAGE F0R'rx'.S1X The Life of Lincoln Lincoln was born in the 18th Century. He spent the early days of his life as a small child. It was not 'til several years later that he grew up and became a suc- cessful young man. He got married ten years later. In his old age he died, leaving behind him many wonder books. The best being an Autobiography of his life.-Taylor. Asher- Speaking of insects, how are your aunts?

What history I know wouldn't fill half a page, And Chemistry, gosh! that spells sorrow, Here I am at the end of the month, With a letter from Olga to answer And Betty and Mary, I must write them now, Or I'm sure their affections they'll transfer. Whenever the end of the month Comes around, gee, I know it means trouble, For I've dreamed thru it all, putting everything off, Those quizzes will puncture my bubble. Here it is now, the end of the month, There's a book on t'Macbeth to be read. Shall I write to Elaine or brush up on my notes? Oh the h-l with it all-there's my bed. S. Galob '26 Ode to Hy , or The Cattle's Christmas INTRODUCTION Gentle reader, listen, to the tale I have to tell, Of a noble youth who rose and fell, And if some here should become offended, Remember, there was no harm intended. II The youth kept feeding all the while And had before each cow a pile. The cows he was to feed and feed For thus the chart to him did read. III His was not to reason why, His was not to make reply, The cows he tho't must eat or die. IV 'Till Herr Laubner, the keeper of the farm, Spied the toiler, and fearing for his cows some harm, Stopt the feeder and to him said, Gott un Himmel! Vot hev you to mine cows fed? V The milkers all around, With dire tales did abound, Of cattle long since dead, From having been overfed. VI The youth's face grew wan and pale As the workers told their tale. Where the trouble lay he wondered, For he realized he had blundered. Sam Horwitz '26 Our Orchestra Listen, my children, and yell hurrah! For Farm School's greatest orchestra, 'Twas in the spring of '23 When a great thought came over me, So I hied myself to Mr. Victor And said, Though I'm no predicter, Still I think, with the material on hand, We should have a pretty good band. And' so we started off with a crash To gather the fellows who had a dash Of musical ability somewhere in them stored, And told them they must play for their Board. So, although at first it was quite a bore To practice each night two hours or more, Now, at last, we have achieved renown As the greatest orchestra in this here town.
