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 .-

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
