' THE GLEANER Q51 23 As our treasury was swelling nearly to the bursting point, we de- cided to have a banquet, and keep it secret till it became past history. But it leaked out, and on the eve of April 22nd, only one-half of our class was able to successfully elude the Sophs.g the other half was sent in in time toclear the tables. Revenge is sweet, and on April first we took the first of a series of three baseball games with the Sophs., and a week later took the second one. The third was called off by the Sophs. 4 Then came Willie Witkin, a diminutive lad from Philadelphia, and Beryl Harrison, better known as Ty Cobb, from Des Moines. If George Washington could have heard his soul-inspiring tales of the land west of the Mississippi, even he would have been put to shame. In the June A. A. elections two of us found offices on the board, while six members of the varsity baseball were from our class. Two of us made the varsity football team, and did all the scoring for Farm School. VVe lost the football game to the Sophs.,owing to our extreme lightness. ' ' ' A - The varsity football team contained nine of us in the fall of 1910. But in vain did we strive to vanquish the Freshman class of 1914 in football, and wipe out our defeat of the year before. To the victor belongs the laurelsg we lost 2-0.0 But four of our best menwere on the hospital list from the varsity games. A The spring of 1911 found us Juniors, numbering only fifteen. On June lst, 1911, the GLEANER was founded, in which project we took great interest. We excelled in school activities, also such inactivities as the Never-Study Club. When the 1912 Graduation Day came around, we lost three men,who had skipped to the 1912 class, but gained three good ones, who skipped from the '14 class to us. They were Martin Fereshetian, better known as the Second Caruso, James VVork, Jimmy, and Ed. Schlesinger, Bunny.,' Fereshetian entered the school in july, 1910, and did good Work in all school activities. James Work arrived October lst, 1910. He was very active in all school matters, both literary and athletic, being probably the best all-around athlete since the days of Mitzman, in 1902. Schlesinger left in the middle of his Senior year. He was also very popular with all. So that left us Weiss,VVitkin, Harrison, Fereshetian and Work to graduate. Happily, the three-year course has added to our number. When 1913 rolled around it found us all studying hard, making up for lost time. Now we are anxiously awaiting our diplomas. So ends the record of the class of 1913, the most noble class Farm School ever sent forth to conquer. We have borne the sting of adversity, and withstood the mockery of discouragement. We offer praise and thanks to the Almighty that he has left us noble five to graduate. . Farewell! . . .

Glass Zbistnrp, I 913 BY BERYL HARRISON, '13 . ri--r 9 . - - Though but few in number, we have a record of events, a history, covering a period of four years. There was a time when we numbered thirty-seven. Now we are but five, and two of us have skipped into the thirteen class. The Unseen Power probably thought it imprudent that the large number of thirty-seven should graduate, and overstock the field of scientific agriculturists, so only left us five., Yet few as we are, we have quite a few things to be proud of. To the 1913 class goes the enviable honor of being the last class to complete the four-year course, and by virtue of that we have a year's more training and have consumed 1095 more cartridges' each than the future graduates will be able to boast of. On March 10th, 1909, the gates of the National Farm School were thrown open to us, and to our President, VVeiss, goes the honor of being the first to set ,foot on this mental sanitarium. That day one blew in from the VVindy City, one Jerome Levy, better known as Smoke. He came on the B. 8c G., which he provediby showing us thirty-three coupons he had saved from thirty-three packs of Fatimas, smoked between Chicago and Farm School. Aifew beans from Boston and some nuts from New York also landed on that day. On the 15th of March we lost a Bostonite, as his father declared that tho' he sent his son to obtain a liberal education, he didn't want him to buy the place out, - - Realizing that under such treatment only the fittest would survive, and that some of us were not very fit, on the 22nd of March we organized the noble class of 1913. A Herman Erdy was elected president, Plotkin, vice president, and Lipschutz, secretary and treasurer: I A, - V f
