This may truly be referred to the present status of THE GLEANER staff, The old staff has just completed one year's hard work. They have overcome many obstacles in the hope of making our paper one that could rank with the best of high school papers. The new staff has a very big task ahead of them. Not only are they to edit a better school paper than in former years, but they are handicapped by only having three men who have had experience along this line during the previous year. In order to work in full har- mony, we would like every one to co-operate, especially the student body. Our alumni can be of assistance in letting us know how they like the paper, giving suggestions and so forth. They will be highly ap- preciated. We would like to have a full page of alumni notes each month. So, former grads, get busy and let us know what you are doing. Although most of us are in our teens, the faculty still regards us as children.

Clzazrmanz and Friends: VVe havealmost come to the end of our stay at the National Farm School. lVithin a very few days we will all have parted on our various ways -to success-I hope. At this time we feel like the prodigal son, who is about to start on his journey, not knowing where to go nor what awaits him. VVe have that feeling of lonesomeness which only those who were in the same position as we are tonight can appreciate. We must bid farewell to our Alma Mater, the school which for three years has been our home and has harbored us through joy and sor- row. XVe must say good-bye to our teachers, friends and associates. lt's hard to leave it all. But with all this comes a feeling of elation, a feeling of joyful pride. XYe have now reached the end of our boyish days--our school days. lYe are leaving the school in which most of us have received our final education. Wie are men IIOXV. llere, we were given the opportu- nity to prepare ourselves to meet the world. lieu' of us know how to tight it, hut all of us know that it is going to he a light. lfor three years we prepared ourselves for this event, and now when we are about to graduate we I-vel ready and tit to play the game. What the outcome will he, how much ol a 4llt't't sN we will make re- mains to he seen, XXI- hope and pray for the best. As graduates of an agricultural school we probably have an advan- tage over graduates of other schools. An agricultural education trains not only the mind, but also the muscle. ls there any doubt that a man who can use his hands as well as his mind has the advan- tage over the one whose training has been confined to mere theory? On this occasion we get the chance of thanking those who have given us this wonderful opportu- nity. To Dr. Krauskopf belongs the credit of opening the doors of this wonderful institution. It is en- tirely beyond my power in the use of words to express our gratitude and appreciation we have towards him. All I can say is. VVe thank you. VVe only hope that God will give him the power to make this school the realization of his dreams, I know he will be happy then. Vile wish to thank Dr. VVashburn, Professor Bishop, and the rest of the worthy faculty. for the kindly advice they gave us and for the interest they have taken in us throughout our stay here. XVe also thank our matrons for the mother- ly care they gave us. Friends, we leave you soon with the inspiring words of lidward lfverett llale as our motto. l,ook up and not down, look out and not in, look forward and not hack --and lend a hand. 'l'lllf GLEANIZR 7 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1916 Biaxjixmix Vthxins. 'lfhe history of the class of 1916 did not commence when the 2.18 and 3.20 trains, heavily burdened with some nuts from New York and specimens from Philadelphia, pulled into the Farm School sta- tion, but the origin can be traced to the dialogue between Hancharow and Kesselman that took place in the train as it passed Wayne Junc- tion. It was there that the former, who was destined to be an auto- mobile crank, with ambitions for a subway guard, revealed his inten- tions of studying agriculture, and was on his way to this mental sani- tarium to join the other twenty- one sturdy youths who threatened to overstock the Held of scientific and practical agriculturists. Our history is considerably advanced when these twenty-two youths, among whom the genus hobo', and agricultural type were fairly well represented, escorted by the brawny armed upper classmen were climb- ing with trembling feet the hill that led to Segal Hall. In this hall, on the 17th of March, 1913, Fleishman, a l i a s Fleisher, started the roll and headed the class-not in either brightness. brain or ability, but ambition, name- ly, a gang boss. Ben lfzrin, who had a natural inclination toward domestic science and nursery work, and who for these reasons later entered Professor Eaton's poultry department, was second to be en- rolled. Wfolf, a real exponent of the agricultural type, came third, and has assumed the convict num- lzer 380. The list grew, but soon terminated with Dorfman, whose ambitions were as big as his appe- UYC. We were happy on that day. Our thirst for work was very ardent. The upper classmen, discovering this natural trait in us, urged us to help them in their various tasks and bring them Young's leverage, Malcolm's leg-puller, or ask Doc for titrate of tellurium. Some of us very faithfully assisted in the cleaning of heifers' teeth and in searching for a lost plough in the haymow. On March 21st we were all made honorary members of the S. S. A. and several degrees were conferred upon us. Realizing that the National Farm School is a sort of a melting pot and that there is strength in union, we organized, and for the First time in the history of Farm School. on April 4, the class of 1916 was in its embryo. April 4th marked the most con- spicuous, most important and most eventful day in our history. On that day we were organized, on that day lilyman Schweitzer hurdled off the train and landed safely in the Main Building. Later a wireless message disclosed the 8' THE GLEAN ER fact that this personage distin- guished himself in the field of Cleveland oratory and literature, and that his intentions were to ac- quaint our barn occupants with Shakespearean tragedy. On the same day, Stamen, a half-baked Boston bean, made his appearance on the campus. Then in rapid suc- cession, Solomon Shapera, the boy wonder of New York, and Abe Klevansky, with a well-fertilized crop of red-top meadow grass on his dome, appeared on the scene Shortly afterwards, Billig, an au- thority on well-shaped and white- breasted chickens, made his ap- pearance. Later, it was discovered that, after graduation, he expected to follow the occupation of chicken inspector. Rubinoff, a callow youth, with an oriental physiog- nomy, after assuring the immigra- tion authorities of the school that he did not arrive from japan, but from the smoky city of Pittsburgh. was allowed to land safely. Many more were called to the arena, but few were chosen and linally our numbers settled to fifty-one. .Xt this time the hot summer days were al..out gone. Class room work had already commenced, anil lo. behold we found ourselves badly inoculated with aphis and our heads overstocked with bugs. Some of the students. with an abundant stock of these articles, supplied thein gratis for experimental pur- poses. and, with the aid of Profes- sor Iiorden, who was added to the teaching stalli, we made great progress. So things slowly but surely pro- gressed. Wie participated in all school activities, including farm work, digestion of meals and night- ly room inspections. Our class, as all classes previous, was not im- mune to natural selection, and we strongly adhered to God's holy law, the survival of the fittest. Seven- teen would-be agriculturists have deserted our ranks. They thought that farming was too delicate and dainty a profession, and have, therefore, answered the call of the wildf, and went back whence they came, and- thirty-four of us were left to start the junior year. Our second year was a prosper- ous one. The new class that ar- rived for a three years' vacation was welcomed by us with extreme kindness and brotherly love. Al- though they were Freshies, God made them, and we, therefore, let them pass as men and prayed for their welfare. This year was well spent in hard work and study, but at the same time athletics played a prominent part in our career. Some of our members with solid, non- fragile craniums, captured import- ant positions in school athletic activities and we avenged- the de- feats we suffered the previous year in the interclass games. Some of our high-domed and brainy youths have gained recognition on THE tire.-xx1zR staff In fact, this sec- ond year proved our worth. VVe were thoroughly imbued with the Farm School spirit. Our third year in this institution of agricultural learning found us. despite the trials of adversity, earn- estly resolved to continue the work once begun, and help this farming of ours along. Fishlowitz, with his brick-colored skull appendages, ow- ing to the rare celebrity of a thick THE GLIEANER 9 head, with a well-developed mental apparatus, was at the beginning of the year initiated as a member of our class. Kaskin, who pleaded not guilty to the charge of belonging to the genus homo and was will- ing to supply the missing link, was also admitted- to our ranks. This year made us noble Seniors, and dignity, awe and reverence followed us. As this year was the last stage in our mental uplift, we set to our task and worked laboriously, but as all work and no play makes .lack a dull boy, we supplemented our course with plenty of play. At the end of the summer we found our hearts aching and our souls longing for the Camp Arden damsels, who left us then to return to our daily task and drudgery. The following few months passed quietly, though sadly. Now we number 27 men, plus VVade. who are about to face the world with all its intricacies, and all of us striving for the best. We thank Providence that this history is a pleasant refiection of our life during the three years' stay at school, and- we may profit bv it. PROPHECY BENJAMIN KESSELLIAN VVhile journeying through the British Isles I visited the Island of Guernsey. It was there that I pur- chased some valuable cattle as an addition to my herd in Connecti- cut. Owing to their merited quali- ties it was difficult to procure cows which surpassed all former rec- ords, but fortunately, to my great surprise, I overheard the proprie- tor's name, Solomon Shapiro. The name sounded familiar, and upon being introduced, can you imagine the joy I felt when two classmates meet after a lapse of ten years? To- gether we toured through his vast estate, talking over old times. I-Ie explained that his success was due to the earnest labors of his faith- ful superintendent, B. H. Ezrin, who developed the champion milk- producing cow of the worl-1. Masie Middleton's Pride. From there I proceeded to Lon- don to arrange for my homeward journey. As I entered the Ritz- Carlton, N. NV. London. I was startled to hear my name called out, and upon turning about. there was I-I. Sweitzer laying claim to mv friendship fwho. bv the way. was then employed as the doorman at the hotell. Naturally. I could not bear to see my classmate under such circumstances and I presented him with a four-figure check. Dill'- nble at the Bank of Mexico. where Baron A, S. Feldman, according to newspaper reports. was recentlv elected president. The paper also stated that the financial standing of that institution was unfavorable. 10 THE GLEANER but a report signed by P. Han- charow, treasurer, contradicted the above statement. Upon leaving the hotel, I per- ceived an extensive sign displayed across the entire width of the street, but what arrested my atten- tion was not the size nor the dom- inant colors, but the following an-- nouncement 1 Tonight 7.30 P, M. Tonight At the Royal Auditorium B. VVade, of the Socialist Party QAffirmativej vs. C. Abrams, of the Anarchist Party tNegativej Will debate the great civic ques- tion, Resolved, That the Company of an Old Maid Is Preferable to an Ulcerated Toothachef' The fact that I had telegraphed my wife that I would arrive aboard the Mixed Star S. S. New Britain prevented my presence at the popu- lar debate. Un the second day of my home- ward voyage, I decided to investi- gate the mechanical department of the vessel, and upon inquiring for a guide, the chief engineer, whose voice and size proved to be that of C. bl. Toor, responded. He con- gratulated me on my success and we soon drifted into the discussion of the newly proposed bridge across the Atlantic, emigration to the North Pole, the repeated fail- ure of VVoinan Suffrage, Ben. Kes- sehnan's possibility for president and other current topics. lle also extended regards to me from I.. gl. l leishinan, who was first officer on the hattleship Iloylestownf' .Xt last we passed the Statue of l.ihcrty, which was resting wearilv against a post, disgusted with the failure of the enactment of Sena- tor S. J. Billig's statute recom- mending pensions for aged and in- tirm cats. I disembarked at Battery Park. where a jitney driver, who later introduced himself as J, VVolf, of- fered his services. A traffic cop, whose grace and gentleness im- pressed me as that of H. Citron. motioned- us to stop. On recogniz- ing us, he expressed his sympathy and regret, but duty-bound escort- ed us to the courtroom. We later learned that the odor and foul gas- es escaping from our tin lizzie was a violation of the city ordi- nance. I never felt so much at home as I did that evening, when I found myself in a cell, with a space be- tween the heavy iron bars disclos- ing an intimate scene. The imme- diate environment strongly re- sembled our former Segal Hall conditions. There was Bill More- inis eagerly offering his hand, but it was all in vain-the width of the long hallway interfered, I also ob- served that his fellow-inmates, H. Stamen and Isaac Oxenhandler. each occupied neighboring cells. It grieved me to see those pioneers of Scientific Agriculture imitating the idle rich. hut I was greatly re- lieved when I learned that for six- teen hours each day they cheerful- ly contributed their labors toward that enormous heap of cobhlestones in the prison yard, The following morning I was given an opportunity to plead my innocence. The judge, V. K. lfischloivitz. upon hearing my name called hy the clerk, almost simul- l'lll'1Gl.lZANER ll taneously ejaculated his loud deci- sion of not guilty. His honor later explained that my innocence was simply due to the fact that we were classmates. Upon dismissal from the court- room, and not being accustomed to the confusing streets of New York's downtown, I unconscious- ly wand-ered into the Bowery. A pawnshop on this highway is noth- ing extraordinary, but when three gold balls are accompanied with the following sign: Louis Kaskin lends money to the poor, bring your diamonds for security, you. too, would hesitate long enough to read it. To satisfy my curiosity, I entered, and without any signs of welcome a short primeval-looking man came toward me and said, Mister, you look sick and- wor- ried, let me sell you a revolver, and then, recognizing me, he sprang forward and joyfully em- braced me as he would his wife following a stroke of good busi- ness. NVe chatted for a while, but with thoughts of my wife at home, I soon bid him a hearty farewell. During the last ter. years many changes have taken place. I was surprised to see eighty-story sky- scrapers replace such memorable mansions as the Bowery Mission, Maxy's Busy Bee and other such institutions I commonly frequented in my youth. Not being accustom- ed to the confusion, I decided to leave the city. Astonishment was beyond description. Un my way to the railroad station I noticed the horsecars still in operation in competition with the Aeroplane Transportation Co.,f' with huge aeroplanes flying to and fro direct- ly.above the car line. Once again I was comfortably seated in the Twentieth Century Limited of the Erie K. R., which, by the way, has already eliminated the usual stops for repairs at every station. On entering the dining car, a richly attired gentleman met me with a questioning glance, His striking resemblance to one of my old' classmates aroused my curio- sity, and I decided to dine at the same table. Upon his remark as to the quality of the spuds, I no longer doubted that it was Nathan Magram, the owner of the largest dairy herd in the country. He explained to me that he ac- cumulated his fortune with the aid of his knowled-ge of animal breeding he obtained from Prof. Bishop. When I inquired for a reason of his not persuing his previous inten- tions of poultry farming, he smiled wisely and replied that his wife and children depended solely upon him for support, and to avoid trouble with mother-in-law he was com- pelled to enter some profitable line of farming. At the Richmondale Station Mr. Magram alighted, and as the sta- tion was an important one, the train waited quite some time. On walking out to the back platform to view the beautiful scenery, a short, sun-burned individual was patiently waiting for the train to pull up and allow him to proceed. He carried all his personal belong- ings in a red bandanna at the end of a heavy cane, balanced over his shoulder. It occurred to me that the towels l used to exchange with Mike Selecter bore a similar re- semblance. lrlis microscopic ap- pearance greatly helped me to 12 THE GLEANER identify my long-parted pal, I offered him a somewhat more rapid manner of traveling, but he Hatly refused, saying, My fortune, the price of a square meal, will increase in proportion to the d-is- tance I cover while traveling to the Far VVest. He was already two miles west of the town of Philadel- phia, According to previous arrange- ments, I was to meet my wife at the terminal in the city of Reading and from there proceed for a short trip through the country. As the next train from the east was not due for fully two hours, I obtained a local newspaper and found com- fort in the waiting room. There were two very interesting articles I could not delay reading. One was that Arthur Levintow, a former Farm School student, was constructing the largest range of greenhouses in the eastern United States. The other item appeared under the Social Swirl. It sim- ply announced that Abraham Kle- vansky, the pretzel king of Read- ing, has been engaged to be mar- ried to the Steel King's daughter, Maggie Schmaltz. It certainly was a pleasure to know that good old Arthur and Abe had at last real- ized their ambitions. The puffing engine arrived at the terminal and I hurriedly step- ped aboard the train, where I was soon in the fond embrace of my loving wife, Hur destination was Norrisburg, Montana. It was not l ng before the monotony of the journey was disturbed by the ap- pearance of a short uniformed lad. who loudly displayed his salesman- ship ability by announcing the con- tents of his basket. His youthful voice betrayed his identity, for lo! behold! There stood joe Ellner. However, his humble position would not inter- fere with my acknowledgement of an old acquaintance. I motioned him to follow me into the smoker, where I gave him a letter of rec- ommendation to the president of that line, Mr. Harold Archibald Zack. No more events of any im-- portance occurred until we .finally arrived at Norrisburg. We were gladly welcomed into the western town. Mortimer Har- kavy, whom I met later, was the mayor of that burg, but during his spare time he had accumulated a young fortune in repairing injured umbrellas. The spirit of travel soon over- took us and we decided to study life in the south. Accordingly, our next stop was at Rastusville, Ala- bama, where I inspected a prosper- ous and progressive cotton planta- tion. The owner of the plantation, Louis Rubinotf, boasted of the fact that his prosperity was the result of close economy, together with low-salaried employees. VVe continued our observations of southern conditions by journey- ing in an automobile. jacksonville, Florida, proved to be a delightful city. It contained several fine places of amusements. To one of these I was tempted. At the entrance to the circus a short. dark-complexioned gentleman was proclaiming an elegant program, and concluded by announcing the admission fee. I GLEANER 13 lt certainly was gratifying to know that Sam Dorfman's effici- ency of the linglish vocabulary earned him a livelihood. Sam then offered his few spare moments in explaining to us the freaks and wonders exhibited within. He lost no time in introducing to us the champion snake eater of the world, .lack Goldman, who, as a sideline, also exhibited the prowess of his digestive system by swallowing glass, iron and other mere trifles. After exchanging a few remarks as to our old Alma Mater days, we parted. We had not gone more than two miles when an unfortunate acci- dent occurred. The gasoline tank exploded, sending us sprawling to the ground. At first I knew not where I was, and in a semiconscious condition I slowly opened' my eyes. There stood Nate, Arty and Ezrin, vig- orously shaking me and loudly promising that the five-minute bell for dinner was soon to ring. It was only then that I realized that I had had a long, peaceful slumber during one of Miss Borden's four- hour lectures on the Prototrophic Microbactereace. Cheer up, fellows, it was only a dream. Here is hope that we are all successful in our future under- takings. FAREWELL SONG, 1916 Farewell, oh, Farm School. VVe leave mem'ries dear Of teachers and students And three years full of cheer.

My message is a simple one, as the words I would utter are farewells. Yet the occa- more than that- goodbye is insuffi- sion demands merely saying cient. VVe can hardly say why, for expression seems lost in the depths of our emotions at this hour. We face a paradoxical condition as thoughts of joy and sorrow come upon us in rapid succession, leav- ing our minds in a state of jubilant sadness. This is the eve of graduation-we rejoice at the thought of the happy completion of our Farm School careers. At last our fondest antici- pations have materialized. The long heralded day is dawning and we welcome it whole-heartedly. Only a brief span and we shall be out-out in the fray. Ah, but there comes the shadow of our jov. Crowding for a place, the thought of pain rushes in. lt seems that every joy the body is heir to must have its correspond- ing shadow-it appears that every human pleasure must have its ac- companying pain. VVe think of the pleasantness of the changes about to occur in our lives. and the thought is balanced by that of grief of parting from friends and asso- ciations that have grown most dear in LIS.

The world is beckoning: we are eager to secure our share of it. But amidst our zealous striving toward higher goals and higher ambitions we remain ever mindful of that which has been so intimately a part of our existence during the last three most impressionable years. There will be new acquaintances -new friends. But we are pain- fully conscious that our coming hopes, successes, and pleasures are bought at the expense of our present relations with the various elements constituting the vital tfiings at the National Farm School. Our futures depend upon tie dissolution of the present. Dis- solution. The idea induces regrets. cfisniay. yea, despair, until careful consideration shows us the silver lining. We have learned that the cecomposition, the dissolution, so to speak, of one crop prepares for tie healthy propagation of the fol- lowing one. Of a surety there must he some reason why our hearts are burdened' with the pains of our lives, epeeially those' of parting. However, there is consolation in be- lieving that the dishanding of our class and entire change of condi- tions is for the henetit of the coni- ing crop. llappily. this dissolution of which l speak does not include or llL'k'CSSll1llL' oblivion of the j0yOllS days gone hy. like the heavens in THE GLEANER 15 the quiet hour of sunset, remember- ing the stars into their places, so shall we in our reminiscent moods remember all those who have con- tributed to our welfare. Now, with a tinal word of sin- cerest thanks to IJr. Krauskopf, the board of directors, faculty and matrons, we bid you all a fond farewell. PRESENTATION OF THE HOB Sixteen years ago the first six students of this school graduated, and in their going they left behind this Hoe, ' l1Vhat the thoughts of those men were at that time, can only be sur- mised. Executives of Senior classes before have, and those to come probably will, translate the meaning of this emblem in various ways. Glancing through its history, we find that the green signifies the springtime when the earth is cov- ered with a green blanket of tender shoots, and the gold for the sun- shine and harvest when mankind' reaps his reward. In conjunction with this we find one idea standing out prominently, namely, to him who uses the hoe diligently and honestly, to him shall come suc- cess. However, agriculture is progress- ing in leaps and bounds.

However, the hoe means hard, the use of monotonous workg thus the inven- tion of maeiinery and the use of animal labor sprang into promi- nence. So, Mr. Kaufman, to you, as president of the coming Senior class, I entrust this hoe, with the admonition not to use it diligently, but to preserve it in memory of an agriculture that was. W'ith the delivery of this l'Hoe, the reign of the Nineteen Sixteen Class ends, and a new regime, under your guidance, is born. Rest assured that you have our sincere wishes for an even more successful year than the one that we have had. CECIL J. TOOR, President. XVhile at school he intereste-l himself in the various school ac- tivities, especially football, 'lire the gates of Farm School close upon him, we'll give our best wishes of success to dear old llenny. 16 THE GLEANER WILL OF CLASS OF 1916 SAMUEL DORFMAN In the name of God, Amen: We, the Senior Class of the National Farm School of the County of Bucks, in the State of Pennsyl- vania, being of sane mind and dis- posing memory, and mindful of the uncertainty of life, after our gradi- uation, do make, publish and de- clare this to be our last Will and Testament in manner following, that is to say: Of the numerous properties and holdings in our possession we be- queath and dispose the following: To one, VVilliam Lawrie Reid, Jr., whose physique is so weakened by the slightest exercise, so as to disable him from walking to Farm No. 3 each morning, yea, even arise from bed, but not affecting his well-known hearty appetite, we gladly bequeath Miss Abram's large stock of pills guaranteed' to cure all cases of feigned diseases. Unto Abe Frank, a bully good fellow to those who know him, we leave that which he has displayed and loved the most during the past year-the Bull. May he preserve it long and air it often, so that it will grow strong and fat, even as he has grown and adhered closely to its habits. To Mr. Ceo. Baton, Jr., our d-airy and poultry professor, whose heir- loom hanrlerl flown from George Xliashiugton, has ever been in his possession, namely, his black derby bat, worn out fill :tll oet'ft5iu1ls :tml also rounfl the rim, we bequeath the latest model brand new hat, which one of our classmates has been try- ing to dispose of for the last three years. To Miss Borden, the Biological professor, whose tireless speeches on VVoman Suffrage, Bacteria and Educated Cats, in relation to Colds in the head fthe first are cats, sec- ond catarrhsj, interested all of us at some time, we bequeath and be- stow upon her that which she craves for most-the welfare of THE GLEANER. May she not re- verse this to its farewell. To those of God's creatures who have eaten three cartridges a day for two years, in other words the erstwhile Juniors, we can only say, all that you see is yours. Take it, preserve it, etc. tNVe refer you to Dr. Krauskopf's speecltj To you who have now clad yourselves with the dignity, becoming Seniors. we bequeath our seats in Segal Hall and Chapel. The Segal Hall Dormitories, where we spent many sleepless nights recently, worrying about your health, is disposed- of to you. The large picture of Mr. Adolph Segal, whose efforts made this building possible, hangs in the auditorium. Keep it from all harm and show it often to visitors. The care of the lawns, Farm School's pride and joy, rests with you. Seniors. Keep it even greener than the incoming lireshnien, Oh, Freshmen! You are now Juniors. The thought alone should swell you up with boundless Joy 'rms ca.15ANEit 17 and indescribable emotions. Think of it, you are still living after a year of strife, trials and tribula- tions. To you, d-ear juniors, we leave the Freshies, the new unsophisti- cated Freshmen, with world-re- forming ambitions. Please leave them in a peaceful state of being. Be considerate of their lack of agri- cultural knowledge. Teach them the intricacies of a fork handle and the complicated mechanism of a currycomb. Show them that al- most-living equine, residing at the Main Barn, in the first box stall, Mr. Dory. Some one made mention of his remarkable resemblance to Toby. But isn't Toby dead? We could leave you plenty of advice. But why add vice? We leave you, two years before you will graduate. May these two years develop the latent talent in you, both in litera- ture and in athletics. Unto you, the entire student body, we leave the honor of the school. VVe beseech you to uphold it on the gridiron, diamond, track and last, but far from least, in the scholastic and agricultural work. Co-operate with the members of the faculty in all their efforts for your betterment. To our Teachers and Matrons we bequeath our appreciation and love for their earnest endeavors in our behalf. In witness whereof, NVe, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Sixteen, in modest recognition of our genuine moral excellence and unlimited extravagances, have squandered all our worldly and spiritual effects and do bestow with profusion our personal estate on our legatees. Having now done our duty to the school, do hereby sign our names thereto and affix our seal this 26th day of February, Nineteen Hundred and Sixteen, Sworn to Before, I. M. Lying, Notary Public.

Schoolmates, dearest schoolmates, adieug Wfe reach the parting of the ways. Each man must his own course pursue VVhile the mind lingers on past days. Soon we will feel thrills of the heart, Knowing that we are soon to part, All must their varied courses trace, All join life's eternal race. Don't let fellowship's spirit die! Let it live e'en though it slum- bers, Pledge now, recall in coming days! Xlihile the scant hours here we number. Remember, if in years to come, You have mastered fortune and fame, Strive not to forget Old Sixteen And our Alma Mater's good name, For here in pleasure we have spent. Our happy days, youth's joyful hours, By duty bound, in friendship linked Time sped, dispelling gloom! dire powers. VN'hether in joy or in sorrow, VVhate'er fortune and fate be- tide, Farm School, thee we will remem- ber, In thee sweet memories abide.

A series of extemporaneous de- bates on capital punishment, arma- ment and various social and eco- nomical topics marked the various meetings. The freshmen class enlarged the membership of the society by the addition of several good men, july 3 marked our second win in debating over New Britain on the subject of increased armament. lfischlowitz, XYade and Kaskin pre- sented Farm School's side in good fashion and received a unanimous decision.

NAEFACK, Editor CLASS OF 1917 With the departure of this month we become noble,' Seniors. It reminds us of the responsibili- ties and duties, of the diignities and honors, that we are to possess, We are to occupy Segal Hall, the Senior table and the noted Green- house bench. We feel satisfied that we are able to shoulder the respon- sibilities and duties that confront us. In looking over the following, it will be seen that the 1917 class has been quite active. Out of the four interclass ath- letic confiicts, the Blue and Gold emerged with three victories. We are very ably represented on THE GLEANER staff, as well as Athletic Association. We also contributed our quota to the Literary Society. Our members intend to show great in' vrest in the newly organ- ized Science Club. NVe regret to state the departure of Si Belofsky, who has gone forth into the world, In the first of this month elec- tions for class officers were held and the following were chosen to represent the Senior class: Matthew Kaufman, president. Abraham Goldston, vice-presi- dent. .Xbraham Cainen, secretary. lVe hope that our third year will prove a success and may we profit by it. S. M, D. 30 THE GLEANER CLASS OF 1918 Vtie have held elections for the officers for our junior year, and the following have been chosen: President, Sholom Sabathg vice president, Maurice Mayerg treasur- er, Harry Fishmang secretary, David Rovinsky. Preparations are steadily going on for our banquet under the care of an able committee. Every one is busy, and we expect it to be extremely successful. J. L., tis. GLEE CLUB One of the most active clubs in this school is the Glee Club, under the able direction of Mr, Allman. The boys are making rapid strides toward the development of their voices and at the same time enter- twining the student body. Un February 18 they will enter- tain some young ladies in New liritain and are practicing faith- fully in order to make a hit XN'e regret that through gradua- Iion we shall lose Dorfman, Mag- iqini, Ellncr and Shapcra. 1 . .

Hep! with pep! boys, if you wish to become a member of the newly organized Science Club. Don't be a dreamer and let this opportunity slip past because you think it is intended for your neigh- bor. VVe extend it to you, and we hope that you shall not be slow in realizing the fact. Witli Mr. Allman as faculty ad- viser Qand to whom much of the credit for the organization be- longsj, this club has bright pros- pects for a successful existence. It was organized primarily for broad- ening the students' knowledge of the applied sciences, which are pre- dominant factors in modern agri- cultureg secondly, to promote pro- gressiveness, unity and harmony in our circle. lncidentally it shall serve other good- purposes for the indi- vidual. But to become a member of this club he must direct his ca- pacities and abilities for improved scholastic work, which would only require a little effort. but which will bring great results. This would lead him to a better understanding of both his school relations and of his future line of endeavors. To those who wish to join us. remember our purposes. Don't think that only officers and com- mittee men have their duties XVQ strive to do the hcst for one an- other. and when work has a unity it is as much so in part as in the whole. lie a live wire and this Science Cluh shall he your hat- teriesl I.

I-How are your organizations getting along? He-Fairly well. One of the or ganizations expects to make an ex- haustive study in scientific matri- mony and in the raising of solid heads of cabbage. I-Speaking of cabbage heads, how is your science club? He-All right, thank you. . I-Do you expect to be success- ful with this club? He-Positively. Wie have had a feed already. I fastonishedj-A feed! Wfhat did you do, nourish their brains? I-Ie-Yesg and we expect to have them often, as they are sorely in need- I-Qf brains? By the way, how is your glee club?

Atlee Burpee Science Clubs will award Prof. Allman with an HF for his faithful service. In order to carry on their scien- tific investigations successfully, the W. Atlee Burpee Science Club decided to have a feed and till their bellies at every meeting. This is the only logical thing they can do to develop their brains and men- tality. The entrance requirements to the WY Atlee Burpee Science Club are: Heafd-Solid, with hair long at base of brain to conceal the spinal column, 3 units. Forehead-Exceedingly narrow and must project forward to shade the eyebrows, 3 units. .Mozetlz-Big, with a slight cur- vature, 2 units. Belly - Spacious, to absorb lznowlerlge, 3 units. llilqeslioazf-Vigorous and excel- lent. 4 units. Applicants must come provided with head gears. hibition in Prof. Prouty's room. Kaskin's talk on matrimony be- fore the XV. Atlee Burpee Science Club was highly entertaining. Our Glee Club is making great progress-in chin music. From a picture of the Glee Club which appears in this issue of THE GLEANER, it seems that their phys- iognomies are as pleasant and in- viting as their bellowings. No doubt Prof. Allman has done great things since his arrival here. but to create a Science Club out of lunkheads and a Glee Club out of a dozen barkers is even beyond his capacity. One of the brainy youths of the Science Club has already discover- ed that the calves raised from steers are very profitable. No, Gentle Reader. the 1110111- bership of the Science Club does not consist of All-man: only its leader. Plcaszint reflections - Kaslciu climbing ri willow tree.

There were many things, which sold for thou- sands of dollars, but we have not time to write about it. There was a large crowd, due, no doubt, to the balmy weather, People flocked to- gether from as far as the Main Building and Penn Hall. Sol Shapiro was chosen auction- eer. as he claimed to be experienced in the business. As a matter of fact, we donit believe him. The first thing sold was a beau- tiful dull-edge razor. This mag- nificent article, which was only used a few times to free Dorf- man's chin appendages, sold for six cents. The second piece of rubbish to go under the hammer was a hat, size QM. Burger bought it for twenty-seven cents. The reason he made this purchase is because his head is somewhat puffed and swell- ing. ' Colonel Shap then auctioned off three pictures, one of which was 1 Jctober Night. The crowd was so anxious to get the picture that F-hap made use of it him- self. He certainly appreciates art. XYhen about ready to auction off a pair of slightly worn shoes, they actually walked off the table. This was too much for the crowd. Be- sides, the fragrant odor was not a convincing argument, and the ar- ticle was declared unsalable, The main attraction of the sale was the disposal of a masterpiece. entitled Doc XVashburn. This certainly was an art. The promi- nent belly, heavy mustache and pleasing disposition were easily dis- cernible. Mr. Prouty, an authority on art, purchased it for three ko- peeks. That long-legged fellow, Perl- man, bought two pairs of ice skates in order that he might enjoy the sport. According to his own story. one pair will be placed on his pedal extremities, while the other pair will be used as a shock absorber. TNTAXXYELL BARNET, '17.

WAGNER, Jr.-Editor ATHLETIC HISTORY OF 1915 Gazing over the records of last year's sports, we are led to believe that it was one of the most success- ful seasons Farm School has ever had. Wiith the excellent support of the students, the teams were able to win many a hard-fought battle. BASEBALL The call of spring found many ball-tossers out to tind berths on the 'va1'sity. livery one was enf thusiastic, which accounts for our successful team. XYith a nucleus of six veterans, Kaufman, our cap- tain, was able to construct a nine of caliber that was in a class by itself. The inlield was exception- ally well balanced. li'ei'kasie lligh School ushered in the baseball sea- son and yielded to us by the one- sided score of ll-l.

VV e played' the strong Camp Arden team, both singles and doubles, and were successful in each. VVe managed to come out even in the games arranged with the Chestnut Grove team. So end our athletic activities for last year! With plenty of veterans on hand, the prospects for the year 1916 look FooTBALL VVith plenty of pep,' and spirit from our 200 rooters, Farm School opened its 1915 season. The first two games which we played were glorious defeats. Not stopped by this, the football aggregation marched on to victory throughout the rest of the season. Farm School is noted for its spirit, and this last year we proved it. 'With practi- rally all green material, our worthy coach, Jimmy VVork, built a team of unparalleled merit. Although the schedule was the hardest ever attempted by Farm School, our pluck won us six games out of eight, which is as good a showing :ts any team anywhere could want.

That it is the desire upon the part of its members to follow their various paths in life in accordance with the ideals instilled in them at the school is unquestioned, and we, their schoolmates, look forward to en- couragement from them, hoping that, through our school Alumni Association, they will keep in close contact with their Alma Mater and' with us, who are soon to follow.
