REWARD The month of December was not very far advanced, and yet it was unusually cold. The barometer in- dicated the approach of a frost. The ground which was covered with snow for months froze hard. On the morning of the 18th of the month old ,lack arrived with gor- geous splendor. It seemed as if he wanted to surprise the people of M.. with his natural beauty and put his skill to task. He cov- ered the wind-ows with various de- signs: some were beautiful and pleasing to the eye. others mon- strously shaped, terrifying in their aspect. The smoke from the chim- ney rose in the air :ike pillars and lost themselves in t-he atmosphere. ln the streets the frost had a dith- cult effect. There it displayed the essence of its existence. lt attacked violently noses. ears and eyebrows. It froze the breath and formed icicles around the mustaches and lmeards of men. The snow was squeaking under the feet. ln short it was one of the many frosts fa- miliar in Russia. VVe will let old .lack go his way and turn to the object of our story. Katia Eliseyevna was an only daughter of a high, aristocratic Russian family, Nothing was ever denied her. Yet she was not a spoiled child. She possessed quali- ties that are very seldom met in their circles. Her father was con- scious of that fact, and his pater- nal heart would stir with emotion. pride and tenderness whenever she would address him. Her mother was dead for many years. but her father never married again and dedicated his life to bring up his only child. On that same day Katia entered her father's library. He rose to meet her but she beckoned him back. saying, 'Papa, allow me to ask your permission to take a walk with Maslia, The weather today is invigoratrng and rouses one to lifef' Her father's face darkened and he stood forlorn, not knowing what to do. Then suddenly, Katusha, l can't grant it. lt is impossible to put a foot outside today. I beg of you not to insist in the matter. But here she approached him and 4 THE GLEANER put her delicate hands around his neck and tenderly looked into his face. His heart bounced within him at so much affection but he resolved not to yield too soon. Father, she pleaded, please don't deny me this time, and ap- pealingly waited for an answer. Although her father resolved not to grant it too soon, yet he did. It happened many times in his life, that when he was at the verge of carrying out his resolutions, he would yield at the mere request of his child. Dress yourself carefully, he called after her when she left the room and then threw himself in the armchair with a heavy sigh, as if he had gone through a hard task. As soon as Katia obtained per- mission she donned her fur coat, and together with her friend set out briskly in the streets of M., and in spite of the biting cold. conversed with youthful interest the proba- bility of many more such days. lloctor Shoohin was a young physician with a growing reputa- tion. llc met Katia once, and since then her fair face haunted his flrrain many a night. llc sought li--r closer acquaintance very often. lint his endeavors fell flat. llis sen- tinel-ntal disposition therefore re- laitsed into dornianey until more snitalile conditions and chance, fin that day lloetoi' Sltooliin was talled lu a patient. Ile put his coat on in a haste and rushed ont into the street. Ile was walking full -iii-eil when he noticed Katia on the otlier -ide arf the street. Ile cgl:nn-c al Int' on-'e and again. 'lliere was sivltwllllllg lwettllill' Illnvtll lll'l' fJlt't'. and involuntarily he glanced- again at her to assure himself of it. just then the full truth dawned upon him. It terrified him to think of something bad happening to her. Yet it was true and immediate ac- tion was necessary. Her nose was undergoing a physical change oc- casioned by the frostg the tip of it was turning to a fatty whiteness, a sign predicting the falling of the affected part. What could be done? He hesitated for a brief mo- ment to shake off the mental stupor, and then without explaining or say- ing anything he crossed the street. picked up a handful of snow and slapped it into her face. Her face. and nose especially, was a covered mass, A pitiful sight. He ap- proached her with the intention to assist her, but her eyes full of in- dignation flashed at him and in- voluntarily he drew back. Mean- time a policeman appeared, and at the reciuest of the young lady seized Doctor Shoobin and led him away to the court. In the meantime. however, Katia was taken to a drug store and care- fully washed so that her father might not know about it. No one had the slightest idea of the favor rendered hy the young physician and the narrow escape Katia had. Katia had almost forgotten ahout the whole affair when the next day she was summoned to court. Now matters hecame more complicated. ller father insisted upon knowinn the cause of the unexpected call. iX'hen told the reason, he declared that he is going to take a glimpse at the riseal that raised a hand on l'is only child. 'I'he judge was sitting on the THE CLEANER 5 platform ready to pass judgment. and accord mercy, if absolutely es- sential. Nevertheless he was en- raged with the doctor for his con- duct, and was anxious to question the case. WVe are not surprised then that as soon as Katia and her father ap- peared he called the accused and accuser to stand. The latter stated her charge. and her face grew crim- son, as she energetically stated the facts. Throughout the whole time that the charge against Doctor Shoobin was made, he was carelessly play- ing with the gold-en chain of his watch. Even when he was insulted he was as calm, as man ever was. At last the complaint was finished and he was called upon to tell his side of the story. ' VVith a clear and distinct voice, Doctor Shoobin explained the cause of his conduct, already known to us, and laughingly he concluded, does Katia Eliseyevna still accuse me of disorderly conduct P No one spoke. In fact every- body felt ashamed. Especially so felt Katia, and was very embar- rassed. Silence prevailed for a brief moment, then the judge broke the intolerable tension: 'Will your ladyship please withdraw the charge? Her father came to her assist- ance, for a lump was rising in her throat and tears stood in her eyes, ready to escape their beautiful abode. I, as father, withdraw the 37 ' charge, he exclaimed. The judge thanked Doctor Shoo- bin for his kindness to humanity and his fellowmen. Ile also praised him for his keen observation, and e:-:tending to him his hand con- cluded, some day you will be one of Russia's greatest men. As they emerged from the court house Katia extended her white little hand to Doctor Shoobin, Her musical voice rang in his ears, and he could hardly understand when asked for pardon. He pardoned willingly, and eagerly accepted the invitation to visit their house. Time went on rolling its cease- less volumes, and working miracles. 'Winter was at the end and the se- vere cold had to give room for amiable spring. The trees began to bloom and their fragrance added a charming aspect to the city of M. It was then that Doctor Slioobin and Katia were seen arm in arm in the streets of M. Suddenly they halted for a moment and looked at each other with apparent fondness. .-X world of love mingled in their eyes for each other. It was the place where the well-remembered incident took place. The beginning of their friendship. They moved. carried along by the crowd. She pressed his arm and leaned closer up to him and murmured, my poor Constantine, in prison for my sake. Never mind, he exclaimed. It was worth it. NATHAN B. GOLUB, '17. THE GLEANER A MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1917 By I. L. CAMPBELL All earthly pleasures have an end, And time and changes reward send, And old associates sever. A few brief years in school to spend, And then the groups and classes rend, And far apart our numbers wend, Like tides that flow forever. Old National Farm School, With proud, blue-blooded pedigree, Spreads wide her fruitful family tree, The light her fame has won her, But where are now her olden classes. The gladsome lads who yearly passes To wreath her views with honor? And Farm School crowned her brow mth bow Those students of the former days, ' Ambitious and true-hearted. They walked their platforms garbed with Gr ite And captured the admiring gaze, And won the plaudits and the praise, Then vanished and departed. And now, new graduates of today, You have your little part to play: And sometimes sad and sometimes gay A few brief years together. You pause a while and have your say. And then timels feat you obey, And spread- your sails and drift away Like toyboats on the river. And yet you will not cease to feel VVarm interest in each other's weal. And what the future will reveal Of grand and sweet successes. Strong characters as staneh as steel. Old Farm School wants the true and 1 The lofty aim, the pure ideal. The right that lifts and blesses. All light and shadows 'meet and blendg TI-IE GLEANER This class of yours, of seventeen, Productive of athletic teams, If it sends these gentlemen Rehned and brave for duty- This class thus drilled in heart and brain It surely has not lived in vain, If now prepared- to take that train To higher aspirations. Of course, these boys expect to wed The grandest maids that ever led Along the heights of honor. Each boy had rather far be dead Than patter on a bachelor's tread, No bride to cheer and solace. To find these partners you, alas. Will have to go outside your classg Forsadly We remember That here upon this classic ground No graduating maids are found: And so there's none to go around- Of matrimonial timber. Another year, we trust and hope. The other sex will try to cope, And not to lag and tarryg And in the rear to mlope and grope, Unfit to marry. You can't afford to take for a wife One who is ignorant of farming life, Hence hesitate to marry. I see you marching in the van, Each sterling, honest, manly man, High up as when our sires began To mold the country's story. Our noble heritage to plan. The loftier peaks of north to scan, And plant these fields with glory.

OUR NEW DIRECTOR On Tuesday, December Sth, a new epoch opened for the National Farm School hy the installation of Prof. liernhard tlstrolenlc as Di- rector of the School, Mr. Ostro- lenlf was horn in XYarsaw, Russia, on Nlay 14, 1887. Ile eniigrated to .Nnierica in 1901, and in 19112 he entered the National liarni School. 11'hile a student here he was a nlenilaer of the lootlmall team, a nn-inher of the tii,ic.xNian stall' and president ol the literary society. llc grarlnaled in 1'ltlo in a class of live, and toolt charge as ln-rdsinan at the New -lersey lraining School at Yineland, N. J., which position he held until the fall of 1907, after which he entered the 1NIassachusetts Agricultural College, graduating in 1911 with the degree of B. Sc.. also ohtaining a degree from the Boston l'nix'ersity. XX'hile at college Mr. Ustrolenlf was a ineniher of the de- bating' team, president of the dehat- ing clnh, editor-in-chiet' of the col- lege literary magazine and assistant instrnctor in tlernian and English. .Xfter graduation Mr. Ustrolenlq taught for two years in the Slayton Iligh School at Slayton, Nlinnesota, and in 1013 was niade director of Tl Ili til.liC.fXNIiR 9 agriculture of the Canby State lligh School. YVhilc there he was instrumental in organizing the Canby Live Stock Shipping Asso- ciation and thc Breeders' Associa- tion, of which body he was secre- tary. I-le was an officer of the XVest Central Minnesota Develop- ment Association and of the Min- nesota League of Community Clubs. Mr. Ostrolenk gained more than state-wide fame as a commun- ity worker because of the organiza- tion of the Canby community which he effected and which had for its basis a better understanding be- tween the farmers and townsmen for social and commercial co-opera- tion. He contributed considerably to leading magazines notably the Country Gentleman, The F211'11l61',S XVife, The Banker Farmer. The Breeders' Gazette and others. He is the author of Distrust Busting in Canby, Getting Acquainted in Canby, The Farmers' Town, Come to Canby and Buy a Pig and others. During the summer of 1916 he was called to lecture on the interstate chautauqua platform, and traveled through the states of Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas. Nebraska and Miss- ouri speaking on the Call of the C ommunityf' a lecture that brought its author into prominence through the middle west. Mr. 0strolenk's work with the boys' and girls of Canby through corn, tomato, bread baking and pig raising clubs has received special'commendation. We welcome you, Professor Os- trolenk, and wish you success in all your enterprises. OUR 'PAPER The publication of this issue in- augurates a new year of the liLlC.XNIiR, whose publication was, for certain reasons, suspended some months ago. Now the oppor- tune time has come to further pro- mote its existence. We all feel and realize the GLEANERJS necessity. Its abrupt cessation was inevitable. However, let bygones be bygones and strive to make it a success. I have full confidence that it will suc- ceed, knowing who the men are, that are placed in charge of it. Es- pecially does the newly adapted system that regulates the school as- sure its success. The student body is governed by a senate consisting of nine members, who are compe- tent men.. The said senate was in- troduced by our new director, who has the interest of the students and school at his heart. We look for- ward to a very successful GLEANER future. You only need to reach out for it and press forward. N. B. G., '17. CO-OPERATION 'ln unity there is strengthf What an enormous depth of truth under- lies this axiom. Unity. Our North American states are called 'United States' Workers that are united- have a so-called organiza- tion-union. There is a Union Pacific railroad and many others. VVhy are all these bodies headed union? Because of the fact that in unity and co-operation there is strength and consequently protec- tion. The nations that are more advanced in civilization realize it fully and use it to their advantage. Furthermore, it is fast becoming a necessity that we co-operate. The farmer has found it out quite re- cently, and to some extent it helped him to get a more reasonable re- 10 THE GLEANER ' muneration for his milk. Co-op- eration is needed everywhere, es- pecially in educational institutions. None of our enterprises can be a success if co-operation, harmony, is lacking. Discord, want of co-op- eration has led many nations into trouble, However, we must not wrongly interpret this doctrine. It will only be beneficial when applied to the furtherance of wor'diy causes. It is germane to say that co-operation of the kind that the worker and farmer utilize is the desired kind, because of its good for the mistreated and abused, but is not the desired kind, when capital eo-operates to exploit more easily the laboring classes. However, let us co-operate here at the school, and -uphold co-opera- tively all school activities. Let us contribute our undivided help and attention, and success will surely be ours. N. B. G., 'l7. A PARTING WORD In a few days we are about to graduate, receive our diplomas and depart from the place where We spent three years of toil and joy. Now we are about to harvest the fruit thereof. Not only now is it that we harvest it, but it will have its bearing in years to come. What- ever stand, position or attitude We may assume in this World it will be partly the result of our stay here. Here we received the foun- dation and moulding for the future. As graduates of an agricultural school our chances in life are great, and therefore start out cheerfully. However, a word of advice in part- ing to you undergraduates is in place. You are about to shed your old coats and assume new ones. Make it your business to act as be- comes the dignity of your new coats. You are upper class men and you must act it rightly and- truly. tVVe wish you success. Adieu. H N. B. G., '17. NVith this graduation we are about to lose our friend, C. J. Toor. He took a post-graduate course last year, and now is leaving us fully prepared to meet the world. Through his P. G. course year he contributed his help and support as faithfully as in previous years. We wish him success and good luck.

Wlien our predecessors were on this same threshold we were only listeners, but thrilled with the anticipation for such a marked event in our lives, As compensation for our hopes we enjoy tonight its realiza- tion. Cn this event we are grateful to the many friends who are here to share with us the accounts of our past career, the peep into the future and the confluent ,feelings of joy and sorrow that are with us at this stage of our progress. Three years have rolled by since we first entered upon the vocation of agriculture-the foundation of all industries. In that time many were the principles that impressed and gave light to the seeker. But as an underlying axiom we learned of the dependence ot mankind upon the fruitfulness of the soil. Here the farmer takes his place and utilizes the gifts that nature provides to supply us with the basis for our material existence. The farmer began his work in prehis- toric times, and with the growing and advancement of civilization ag- riculture has played an important role. In historical records of a land that became the home of a people, and consequently marked with advancement and expansion. very little credit is given to the fact that the tiller of the soil was the one to make the settlement pos- sible. He started in with develop- ing the existing natural resources, planting the seeds and producing the bread for the maintenance of his fellowmen. When our forefathers settled in this country they found that the natives were scarce for the exten- sive territory they occupied yet barely managed to exist. Greatly would their numbers be decreased when they fought each other for the possession of the food that was not in abundance. The Indian was often too lazy to farm, and as a result of which his race dwindled and his land taken up by the indus- trious settlers with the farmers producing the food that was re- quired by the fast growing colonres. Farming has kept pace wrth the advancement of civilization. VVhere there was an increase in the popu- lation there was a broadening of the fields of agriculture. XYhen there was advancement in the arts and sciences of the world, farming was marked with its improvements. It has been so in every way that farming has kept its rank with the other progressive industries. Farming has its opportunities for becoming as perfected as any other industry, and is certain of inter- minable life. The knowledge that we are amongst the few who toil in such a free-leading and resource- ful occupation for the upkeep of humanity, leads us with an un- daunted step into the work our forefathers began. 14 THE GLEANER CLASS HISTORY By A. RADLER It feels rather pleasant to have a history and a good one. Look- ing back over our three years' stay at the Farm School we can outline an inventory of our accomplish- ments, which should not only be profitable to our class but of vital interest to the coming classes. On the 17th day of March, 1914, forty-five specimen of the homo order issued forth from all parts of this broad country of ours to seek their fortunes by a new under- taking, viz.: to become agricultural uplifters and to enlighten the al- ready tillers of the soil. Of the many who have braved the wild and desolate regions in the unheard of county of Bucks, few have with- stood the perils and great hardships which lay before them.. But of the chosen few who have remained- great has been their compensation. The first to step forth on the shores of the promised land was one, Aaron Lieberman, a native of the wild and wooly Texas. Great was his surprise and consternation, on heholding a group of ragged rufhans-who were at the station to receive him with open arms-in place of his conjured conception of gentility. lt took this sad youth many weeks to acclimate himself to the environmental conditions. Nur next addition was a delicate young chap--hlulius Schultze, alias Dutchie, who brought with him his natural elements. lle was mag- nanimous in the revelation of his glory. when the very lirst rcpast at the school consisted of sausages for the main dish---the lllg thick kind that are a pride to every Dutch housewife. Cf the many more to follow as fast as the railroad called P. 81 R. could drop them off, bag and bag- gage, few were there who could be classed among the agricultural type. Cf the anarchists, reformers, prison authorities, clerks, free thinkers, socialists and adventurers from nearly every state in the union, that undertook this unknown step in the dark, for the advance- ment and good of his fellowmen, few-yea! verily so-have suc- ceeded to create a sensation with Prof, Bishop. It was not long, however, before Mr. Chas. Newsbaum. president of the senior class, called a freshman meeting to elect a temporary presi- dent. Mr. Donchin was elected. Mr. Newsbaum and Mr, Louis Helfand, a post graduate, each de- livered a very inspiring talk. On April 15, l9l-l, Mr. Kauf- man was added to our ranks, and it was not long before we realized his capabilities for the leadership of our class. Ile was unanimously elected president. lfnder his leader- ship there was a manifestation of true spirit in all school enterprises and activities. Un May 5, 1914, we played our first interclass hasehall game and gained our lirst victory. livery one tried hard to make the varsity hast-hall team, and we made a grand showing, having eight mcmhcrs on the varsity team of that season, THE GLEANTER 15 XVhen football called the school into activity, the freshman class was right there. We had good material, and hve members were chosen for the varsity team. The rally that our class tendered to the school at the opening of the 1914 football season surpassed all of its kind in previous years. The inter-class football game was played December Z, 1914, and although we fought hard, suffered our first and only defeat at the hands of the juniors. Not only were we active in ath- letics. but we also did our utmost to uphold the A. A., Gleaner, Liter- ary Society, Science Club and Glee Club. Having survived our freshman year, under the tender care of the noble seniors and worthy jumors. we celebrated our first anniversary at Farm School by a gala banquet at Goss' Hotel, Furlong, Pa. Although we suffered the loss of a number of classmates during our freshman year, we started our jun- ior year forty strong, including Koshowsky, with the resolve to do even better than we had done in our freshman year. Mr. Samuel Wolf was elected president, and under his faithful leadership the outlook for a suc- cessful year was very promising. In the inter-class baseball game played on May Sl, 1915. we de- feated the poor freshies by an over- whelming score, Although the freshmen had an excellent team, they could hardly compare with ours-a team that contributed eight men to the varsity of that year. .Xs a junior enjoys many more privileges than a freshman, it was not until the summer season of 1915 that 'we dared to enjoy the company of the fair damsels of Camp Arden. As a result of this privilege, the departure of the campers left many a broken heart in our class. ' When candidates for the grid- iron were called out, all attention was centered on football, and the 1917 class was out to help our classmate, Mr. Kaufman, captain of the 1915 team, to produce the best football team in the history of the school. The result was grati- fying indeed, for without doubt. the 1915 football team was the best ever produced, Here I must not forget to give due credit to our worthy coach, Mr. james NVork. for his devoted assistance. When We entered our senior year we comprised the largest sen- ior class in the history of Farm Schoo-1. Mr. Kaufman was elected presi- dent, and with a resolution to make things hum, we started on a jump. We treated the freshmen very mildly, and gave them the proper impetus for their Farm School ca- reer. 1t was not long before we had the freshmen imbued with the Farm School spirit, and had their co-operation for the uplift of all the school activities. More than half of the successful baseball team of 1916 consisted of seniors. XVe cannot complain, how- ever, thit the lower classes did not do better. for they did their best. The month of july, 1910, brought the only dark cloud in our history. .X niisunderstanding between the 16 THE GLEANER students and faculty was the cause of the departure of more than half of our class. The director and sev- eral of our professors left us, prob- ably because of the misunderstand- ing, This sad incident started a new era in not only our history, but in the history of Farm School. We feel very sad indeed that our dear classmates left us at so short a time before graduation. After that there was a great deal of reconstruction work to be done for the remaining members of the senior class. As the Class, A. A., Gleaner and Literary Society dis- banded they felt it their first duty to re-unite them again. VVe feel gratified that with the assistance of our new leader, Mr. Clarence Koshowsky, We have accomplished the reconstruction work before leaving our alma mater. Among the great joys to counter- balance the misfortune of our last few months was the coming of Prof. Qstrolenk as director of the National Farm School. We feel sure that Prof. Ostrolenk will bring the Farm School to its highest degree of perfection. He has the best wishes of the 1917 class for success. The rest of the faculty will, no doubt, eo-operate with Prof. Ostrolenlq in the Work to uplift our alma mater. ' This ends the eventful history of the 1917 class. It should be the sincere endeavor of every one of us to make the history of our Iiws even better. THE WILL OF THE CLASS OF 1917 By JosE1'H Z. ID1zLa'i4iiim.xN To whom it may concern!

Also a can of pork and beans. To Mr. Howard Young who, during all his stay at this institu- tion, has taught most of us efficient and practical farming, as a sign of our gratitude to himi, the first pin ever worn by a loyal and true Mason- a safety pin. All other personal property, con- sisting of the following earthly re- mains, we relinquish to our truest and most liberal-minded teacher. Mr. Bishop. whose progressive. wide views all of us have cherished forever and aye: Socialism, by Morris llilquitt: one-half of a year's subscription to The Appeal to Reason: one-half of a year's subscription of The Christ- iun Science Monitor. For our worthy and benevolent matrons, who were here during our stay at this celestial realm, we wish to leave our humble and sincere regrets at the lack of appreciation for their food and medicine. First, their forbearance and patience at times when we were ill. Secondly, their humane, kind, generous feel- ing toward' us at very short in- tervals. Too much can not be said in praise of their rather de- licious food. To one veterinary scientist, Doc Murphy, we bequeath the tol- lowing: Doc Munyon's Pain Cure, Christian Science as a Healer. Wliat Can't Be Cured Must Be Endured. To the class of 1918 we bestow a heritage of hlustice. VVe being of just and truthful habits. request the said class shall obey all rules and regulations in their cubicles, includ- ing Mr. Allman's Rules in the Greenhouse. They are the essence of blustice. But, in order to restore tranquillity and peace of mind to some members of this class, we rc- quest that when in doubt about any rule to turn to the Bible for further particulars. To thenclass of 1919. ive give our hearty and fervent prayers that they may become colony leaders, prominent scientific agriculturists and farm hands. Codicil I.

PROPHECY BY GoLUB and DRUCKERMANX The year 1925 found me in wretched condition, and I was re- duced to wend my way for a meal in a cheap restaurant. The food served to me was rather delicious. An aroma of peculiar and far- reaching, sweet-scented odor dif- fused itself. It was a great tempta- tion to me, and I devoured it raven- ously. And,'1o and behold! I fell into a swoon, and I conceived a visio-n. A crowd of people were surg- ing and moving and an angry hum arose from their midst. There stood a man whose lengthy and windy sermon seemed to cause the disturbance. I was stupefied to be- hold my staunch classmate, Benja- min Smith, arguing for Mr. Nathan Golub, the people's choice, who would- give careful consideration to their demands, running on the workmen's party. The Social Bomb Throwing League. I want- ed to get up and speak for him. too. but just then the speaker descend- ed. and a partisan introduced Mr. Golub, the candidate for Congress. The speaker, after many haws and hems. bowed to the crowd and began the onslaught, Our party will light to obtain free rides for downtrodden mil- lionaires, beer for all true Prohibi- ' lielivereil by Benjamin Smith. tionists and jobs for all that were never out of work. This was vigorously applauded. Then Mr. Smith, with a beaming counte- nance, capitalized at S50,000, spoke. My fellow-sufferers, friends and voters: It is not for my bene- fit, but for your own, that I ask you to vote for the candidate. But he was suddenly interrupted by a seedy-looking fellow who seemed tobe on the outs. I ain't going to have a bomber elected. It was Deacon Jacson, a true friend of mine, who defied rum, and the result now appeared. From a pious young man to this type was not what I expected. A mist settled around this scene and gradually a panorama of a beautiful country unfolded, in which the following blotch on the landscape appeared: :X long-legged. lean. hungry-looking individual slowly bent his way towards a barn. with a revolver in one hand and a milk pail in the other. IIe seemed to be saying, By heck. if I don't get you by gentle'argumentation. this will, hossief' and gently pat- ting his revolver. It was poor hecker, I.ou Goldberg. .X sporty. well-dressed man approached him. exclaiming: flow are you? lIow is the XX'CZllllk'l'? By the wav. I 20 THE GLEANER have the first genuine jeans pro- tector on the market. It saves elbow greasef' Here he produced a card which read, Clarence Koshowskyf' The scene has shifted again, I was now in a factory of artificial limbs. Busily engaged over a ma- chine, pulling a leg to and fro and carefully refraining from getting a splinter in his hands, was Solomon Adler. Near him, besmeared- and greasy, stood a man turning on a lathe slippery eel skins. He was an expert in handling slick and slip- pery stuff. You could see it by the way he handled those skinsg oh, yes! It was Arthur Camen. This scene suddenly changed, and in its place was revealed an office of uncomfortably large size, where beside numerous desks many women were engaged in typewriting. On one of the sheets I read the following: Sol Donchi, Matrimonial Engi- neer and Love Chemist. VVe guar- antee results. t Near it lay an open letter, and I read it: I am a poor, lonely bachelor: have a farm of 60 acres. I want a wife to help me weed onions. pitch hay and shred fodder. If you get me one to meet the requirements, I will pay liberally. Yours sincerely, joseph Z, llruckerinanf' .Nnotber open feminine hand- written letter l was tempted to read : Dear l,ove C'hemist: I am deeply cbagrincd at my lovely wife. She refuses to listen or hear me talk. She claims it sounds too much like a buzzing saw. Yours truly, 'fSamue1 Erdef' My senses here were a little shaken, and thus I went on, A greenhouse slowly took shape, and on it a large sign with golden let- ters bore this inscription: Mor- decai Kasselman, expert trimmer. We trim you painlessly. All fu- neral designs guaranteed to accom- pany deceased on the other side free of charge. Near this mag- nihcent house stood a ramshackle, shabby-looking building, with a lit- tle plate on the door and this in- scription: Confounded and Con- fusion Bulb House. Our bulbs never blight, rot norigrow. Buy once and you never forget us. Abe Radlerf' In a newspaper that I picked up there I came across a heading: Budding scientist dis- covers how to make fleas multiply profusely without much trouble.

VVag1ier, jr., boxing and jui jitsu and all physical culture methods taught. My meth- ods bring either success or ruin. Try them ! The light grew dimmer and I be- held a small house, snug and cozy, in which dwelt a tall, lanky man and his wife. The rooms were filled from bottom to top with cradles and nursery paraphernalia, but none had a child in it. I was wondering why this nursery stuff, when suddenly I heard the house- wife say: Aaron Lieberman, I do declare! It is time you stopped playing with your eradles. Go to bed! Upon inspection of the grand display of nursery stock, I stumbled upon a magazine which contained an article of The science of giving away moneyf! The au- thor's name seemed familiar and I glanced at it. Millionaire and phi- lanthropist, C. J. Toor. He made his money by shaving toothpicks and using them over again. The curtain was lowered and everything was a blank for a while, then I recovered, yielding to the care of my worried classmates. What was it? Oh, yesg that darn tree I bumped into. Courage, my friends. I-Iere is luck and success to you! ,.ii PRESENTATION OF THE HOE By CLARENCE KOSHOWSKY Eighteen years ago this hoe was chosen as the emblem of this insti- tution, and has been revered by the students as it passed from one class to the next, It has been sharpened and repainted since its adoption, partly to preserve and partly to in- tensify the meaning already con- veyed. Green in our songs signi- lies the springtime, while gold the harvest and the sunshine. It goes on to say that in the blend the meaning is foretold, Hurrah for the Green and the Gold! You all l:now the song, and you all will or have used the hoe. But the meas- ure of- your prosperity will be judged by your diligence with this small tool, perhaps 11Ot in its direct use, but in directing the equivalent energy to useful ends. Therefore, to you, Mr. Levitch as president of the senior class that begins its re- gime tonight with the presentation of this hoe, I leave this as it was left to me and the guidance of the students during the ensuing years, with this admonition, use it dili- gently, and success will be yours. . 22 THE GLEANER -VALEDICTORY By NATHAN B. GOLUB 1.-1. Ladies and Gentlemen : In appearing before you tonight as the valedictorian, I have two thoughts to expound. Trivial as they may seem to you, yet they are very vital and decisive to us. It is a revelation of how we were im- pressed in the three years of our stay at the school and what our prospects and aspirations are today. In looking back at our school term here, we can't help but smile at our own insignificance when we first entered. But we have learned a good deal. VVe have started at the very bottom of the ladder and have striven to attain to the point where we are tonight. But we have waded in deep water, aye, so deep that at times it seemed to swallow us, and a good portion of our best have succumbed to it. We regret and feel afflicted at this hour of their absence. Is their absence due to the natural law, the survival of the fittest? XVe ,cannot tell. But it is true that our trials were great, but equally great is our coni- pensation. So you can readily see that we are hardened on the anvil of adversity and experience, and that enables us to look more or less fearlessly upon our prospects. .Xspiration is a matter of individu- ality. flnr prospects now are that in whatever we may engage it will require every ounce of our zeal. lt will require, aye, demand that we pay in terms of interest for whatever paltry pay we may get. l'ut whit with thit' Thin nt vf . , ,-, 1-, l 1 1 . 1 voices in every one of us calling for the struggle to achieve that will put us on our mettle. The voice o-f our Alma Mater, which is dear to us, will always be a guiding light in the dark. Your school's success depends on you, looks up to you and is proud of you. Another powerful voice is that of the nation calling to the tiller of the soil, for- sake us not and give us bread. And what with the call of our own people and those that made it pos- sible for us to engage in agricul- ture? Ah, sacred must be the re- sponse, to that particular call to those that have offered the best of their mental and circumstantial possessions. But the strongest and most powerful voice' is that of the struggle for existence and a place to rest your head. Base as man may be, that voice he cannot deny and must creep along as if urged on automatically. So you see our prospects are cheerful after all. Aspirations, that, as I said before. is dependent upon the individual. But we all aspire in various direc- tions and surely hope to reach a height above the average. Now, for the want of time. I must stop and turn to more specihc topics. First. the class avails itself. through me, of the opportunity to thank llr. lirauskopf and the board of managers for their interest and kind support shown to us. lVe feel it is beyond our power to show the appreciation of Ur. Kraus- kopfis elil'ot'lS. Sitleele gt'Z1fltt1t'lC and wishes that the school keep on progressing are the only proofs of l THE CLEANER 23 our appreciation. To the faculty of our school and matrons, we owe thanks in large measure. You have been unto us like a father to his children. Aye. more than that. You have done more than bringing us into physical existence, but have taught us at the most critical point of our career. What else but gratitude can we feel? To you, undergraduates, we re- sign our places and wish you suc- cess. VVe have enjoyed your com- panionship and treated you like brothers. May you do so to the coming classes and that will bring you a step nearer to higher moral- ity. Adieu. THE GRADUATES ADLER,s SOLOMON - QBronx, ' N. YQ. The modest youth. Was a member of the Agric.

EXTRACT FROM DR. KRAUSKOPFS ADDRESS AT THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL I have seen you reel and stumble, I have seen you fall and dieg I have heard your sobs and anguish, I have heard your groans of pain, And'I raise my voice to warn you, I reach you my arms again. Are you broken in heart and body? Are you shrunken in mind and soul? Hasten back to me, your mother, And my touch will make you whole. Are you shaken in faith, discouraged? Are you buffeted, bruised and sore? Creep out to me from the gutters, And I'll make you men once more. Come out to me from the trenches, From the dark where you cringe and grope. Let your thews grow hard with labor, VVhile your hearts grow great with hope. You shall stand with your heads in the sunshine. You shall stand with your feet on the sod, And your faith in me shall lead you To a surer faith in God. 5 .G 'i i ' Q Q -4 'A Q ' HH i ir ' l C' 1. 1 Elm! nuff ff Q3 4 ,C ,MV 115 iff' SQL-L00 ' ---I-N 5 : ll V i I , Ti A i ,, ,Q ,,-- A il' . f, K .

'f CLASS OF 1918 With the departure of the grad- uating class, our hopes of being in a paramount state shall be realized. We possess strong school spirit that will help us to achieve all our en- terprises. With the advent of our Senior year, many promises are being made to study diligently and faithfully. Levitch will champion the 1918 spirit. He has been elect- ed president of our class for the Senior year. McCool has been elected vice president, and Kunis secretary and- treasurer. Our class officers have our best wishes and loyal support. T K., '18 CLASS OF 1919 VVe have elected the following ofhcers for our junior year: lflresident-Otto August Gold- stein. Vice President-Jay Mannes. Secretary-Philip Landman. Treasurer-Bernard Goldsmidt. We suffered a defeat in the Freshmen-junior game by a score of 13-O.

We will end our Freshman year by a banquet, for which we are preparing, hoping to make a suc- cess of it. M. S., 'l9. LITERARY SOCIETY The reorganization of the Liter- ary Society marks a new epoch in the school's literary activities. The keen interest shown by the faculty and students towards it assures success. The spirit for reorgani- zation was aroused in the students by well-delivered' addresses -from our director, Mr. Campbell, and club officers, At the reorganiza- tion meeting, which was held by ex-President Golub, the following officers were elected: President-Harry Schuffman. Vice President-Raphael Glass. Secretary-,lay Mannes. J. F. MANNES, '19. 9 GLEE CLUB The Glee Club is this season handicapped by the lack of good voices, as well as instrumental tal- ent. In spite of this fact, however, those students attending are mak- ing a mighty good beginning. I believe it is only a matter of sev- eral months before we will have a first-rate club. Then, and not until then, can we give a series of con- certs to the school and neighboring communities. D. N. ALMAN, Director of Glee Club. 6 1 ,wfa:W'I',F'5'35v:r W ' 7 f , V ,fx ,fknvdf ,ax ' 7 fr WL ,Jf 'fF-,I 44 ,Q 2 -,fy ig:'j5iI-Q,'5',1Zfg,5135 ' -f '- 1' H -- ,Fizz 3 ,1411 ' ' v2f Wf . ,f 1' 1 f f..f11:f1.,w-:P - -J ' - ,gr - - 1, M f.Kg..,' ,ff , W nf? ,'.,3f'fi3- -A ,X fi Me? ?

' The season started with only three veterans, the rest of the team being composed of green men. VV e were also handicapped in not hav- ing a coach until the third game. We have much to be thankful for to our coach, Mr. Woirk, for his untiring efforts in shaping together a combination which proved such a success. Farm School, O. University of Pennsylvania, 54. On September 16th the team travelled' to George-School. wherc we were defeated in a practice game with the husky U. of P. eleven. All marvelled at our pluck in lining up against Bob Folwellls well-coached team, which out- weighed us forty pounds to a man. The practice was staged on a seventy-Five yard field which ac- counts in some measure for the large score. On the first kick-off Rovinsky, our promising tackle. sustained a broken leg. Before the game ended they all admitted we put up a scrappy game in face of such odds. Szold played well for Farm School, often breaking through and tackling a Penn man behind the line.

THE GLEANER 35 THE NINETEEN-SIXTEEN TEAM The Football Team of nineteen sixteen was undoubtedly on a par with the best teams that Farm School has ever produced, in spite of the many difficulties with which the team had to contend. Considering the fact that we lost half of our veterans, and also the difficult schedule attempted, we have reason to be proud of the record that the team has made. The team as a whole was well balanced, although our line was a matter of concern throughout the season. This was counterbalanced. however, by our excellent veteran backheld, The secret of the sea- son's success was due to the spirit and excellent harmony which pre- vailed- between the players and their captain. CAPTAIN WAGNER p l a y e d quarterback. He contributed a large part of the tallies. Being the fastest man on the team, heavy. nervy, full of pluck, and with that never die spirit, he had all that goes to make a spectacular player. and one pleasant to look upon. when in action. His undauntecl spirit and perfect sense of honor and justice brought him the re- spect and the best that was in the fellows. This was his third year on the team. KosHowsKY, Manager. He played a fine game at left half: a big man with the punch that counts. his greatest asset being, his giving interference. Had lots of spirit. iron nerve, a wide knowledge pf the game and a never-failing alnl- ity to nail fumbles. This was his third year on the team. GOLDBERG. Played a consistent game at right half throughout the season. He always responded when called upon, and was one of the best ground gainers. VVith a some- what uncanny way of keeping out of injuries, Goldberg has played in every game, and was there with all the goods. A. man whom it will be hard to replace. SMITH. A big man who held down fullback position in great style. He was a man who always made good in pinches: especially in the Allentown game did he play a remarkable line-plunging game 5 al- ways good for his ive yards. He was good to look upon when carry- ing the ball. This was his second year on the team. A man who feared nothing. MALLoi'. lVho played right end, is the verification of the old adage. good things come in little pack- ages. Although the lightest man on the team, and sometimes out- weighed by sixty pounds, he had a marvelous combination of spunk, nerve and grit. A sure tackler and great on breaking up interference. Malloy cannot be given too much credit. This was his second year on the team. LIEBERMAN was our mainstay at center. This was his first year's berth. Texas played a flawless game. Though not as fast in scrim- mage as desirable, he, however, played a game full of pep and spirit, always looking for trouble. 36 THE GLEAN ER ' and lingering long in the memory of his adversary. TOUR, End. XVas green at his position but played a fairly con- sistent game throughout the sea- son. A fast man, who followed the ball well. SZOLD. Captain-elect of the 1917 team, Played tackle. His previ- ous experience made him one of our best linesman. Rugged and full of spirit, he showed up credit- ably during the season. VVe ex- tend to him our highest wishes for a successful team next year. Rov1NsKY, Tackle, unfortunate- ly was unable to show his true worth, due to an injury in the first game. Vile are, without doubt, right in saying that he was a great loss to the team. BTICCOOLE, Tackle, who says little, but shows plenty of actiong this won him a berth on the Varsity. FISHMAN, Guard. A fast and sure tackler, and a great man to open holes. However, we expect a big improvement in him next year. TNIAYER, Guard. Plenty of pep and spirit, but was too light to bring him to the front. VVe predict much from Mayer next year. KASSELMAN. A good man at center but lacking in experience. RADLER. Contributed his share by making the Varsity hustle, as quarterback, for the scrubs. LEVITCH, End. Played a heady game, but his tendency to fumble was his only drawback. 'This yearls .experience will tell on him for next year. ORLOlf'F, Guard. Promises to be a good man next year.
