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. 'tags T ,' K-1.551-33' wt fa-i1 BQf',..-:?s! : 'rf 42- I-Q' rf- Q' ,g 23: ivli? . mn, 2 f .A -Z ' 4 1' 9 .-

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-
