THE GLEANER 5 lint not only has that word a re- lationship toward- the exit of thc 1916 class, but it has a direct bear- ing upon us who are to follow in your footsteps. To us it means one more step to that little word success The present junior class is now to take the role of Seniors, which, in other words, means efficiency, manliness and responsibility. May the present Freshmen enter into their Junior year, for they, too, will soon have to follow the hard- ships which lie in the road to a successful career. ' Now, dear grads, a word with you 'ere you leave us. You have supported all the school activities while you were within its walls. All we ask of you is to C0-Operate with us. Subscribe to THE GLEAN- ER! Help us to make it a better issue each and every month. Learn what your schoolmates are doing here, while you are far, far from their sides. Be here in spirit. No matter where you are or what you do, spread the honor and glory of the National Farm School along the way. Good-bye, dear grads, good-bye! Ring out thc old, ring in the new. 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. Mr. Bishop is teach- ing the Seniors Feeding, Mr. All- man conducts a Nursery for the Juniors, while Mr, Prouty admin- isters physics to the Freshmen Eve times a week. Miss B.- How do you distin- guish between the eggs of the snowbird and those of the meadow lark ? Dutchy- The egg of the snow- bird consists of a yellowish yolk incased in a speckled exterior called a shell, while within the shell of the meadow lark's speckled egg you will find a peculiar yellow substance called the yolk.

6 THE GLEANEK SALUTATORY SAMUEL J. BILLIG. llfr. 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.
