I4 THE GLEANER neath his cap. I gave my order and his Soitainly, sir, proclaimed him from New York. He returned and gave me a slip with the list to be signed. Thinking nothing of this usual routine of obtaining refreshments since the years when prohibition was first introduced, I complied. Did my eyes belie me? For upon the paper was the steward's signature, Leo Buskin. Are you this man Buskin? I asked him. Soitainly, sirj' was the prompt reply. Well, Buskin, don't you remember an old friend when you see him, queried. . Ah! By gosh, if it ain't Goldberg, and saying this, he made himself at ease. He gave his history, of his suc- cess at Cornell, etc., and the present position which he was induced to take by his brother. We enjoyed his leis- ure hours together until we reached the Metropolis. No more travel. I was bound for home. Only a few hours ride to my estatein New Britain, Pa. Even those hours were but as minutes and when I finally! got off at the ,station my faithful caretaker Braunstein was at hand. Good old Braunstein! He was trustworthy and competent of administering advice. I briefly related part of my travels and he cautioned me not to worry. He seemed excited about something but I forbore to ask him. At last he found himself unable to hold the news. Heard the news? was his laconic question. No, tell me about it. Why, ah, Daniels is Director of Farm School. What, Daniels, our old classmate? I questioned. Yes sir, and he deserves it. A fellow like him is hard to find. I mentally agreed that Danels was in the right place at last. The sinking sun gave to my home a beautiful ap- pearance It seemed the very picture of rest. I resolved that never more to roam should be my slogan. VVhy need I roam? Did not memory contain all the neces- saries for controlling the wanderlust? To me came the thoughts of old friends and of their successes. A knock. I did not comprehend its meaning until the accompanying Everybody up drove sleep from my eyes. The estate I had visioned was my room and my travels but the impressions in my dreams. I reached for the cord and the room was flooded with light. I con- sulted my clock and lay back for ten extra minutes to review my wonderful visions and to even up the score left unbalanced by the unmerciful hand of the call boy. CC GC GC

I 6 THE GLEANER To our new instructor, Mr. Lukens, we leave the wish that his eiforts may be crowned with success. To Mr. Young we leave the good-will of Mr. Kraft. Unto the P. til G.'s we leave the undoubted honor of two pieces of butter. Unto our Chef we bestow Pedro, in hopes that the appetites of Groman and Samuels will not go wanting for weenies. We bequeath unto Zinn the piggery, from which we hope he can develop plenty of pig-skin material for the next football season. To Touff we leave a pair of elastic shoes and hope that he will invite them up to meet his trousers. We bequeath to Yulke a row of ten-pins, so that he may use them instead of chairs to knock down QS. S. AJ Unto Gelles and Reiff we leave the old board in Northman Hall and I trust they will let some other Fresh- man beat it to an even higher temperature than they did. To Trupin we bestow a pair of headlights and hence- forth no excuses as, I had to wait for someone to lead me. An elastic hat is our gift to Leedes so, no matter how large his head may swell, he will always have one hat to iit Ambition is our gift to Kadansky. We suggest that he make good use of it. Unto the noble Juniors, soon to become Honorable Seniors, we leave the seats of the almighty in Segal Hall, and the leadership of all school activities. Although you may not be worthy of them, we hope that you may approach as near as possible the standard set by us.

To the Freshmen who are soon to enter the courts of nobility and, knowing as we do, that there is nothing We can tell you that you do not already know, we en- deavor to leave some advise, in hopes that it may be absorbed. Remember the new Freshman Class, some of whom may show signs of life,are all human beings fof the lower orderl and must be used as such. Do not expect them to use their heads. Do not give them the high and
