THE GLEANER 5 After the novelty of a new life wore away we settled down to profit by the hints given us. The classes and Work kept us wide-awake and made of some, living questionaires. Not alone in work found we profit but our leisure hours gave time for wholesome recreation. In our first year we contributed Braunstein to the baseball team, while Brunwasser very ably represented us in football. In the life of a person appoarching manhood the days of youth are remembered as the happiest moments of life. They represent the care-free existence, free from responsibility or a thought of the things around them. So it was with our class. My classmates will agree with me when I say that our Freshman year was the happiest of the three years here. The-days in the orchard, in the hay field, mow or the cornfield, were filled with jokes, singing and good-fellowshipl I only want to recall a few of the persons by name who left our class but whose stay here was felt. There was Rabinowitz, who privileged himself to cheer the rest with hearty laughter. Another was Skolnick, the first leader and being slightly older than most of us also act- ed as an advisor. We thank him for the frequent de- liverance that he procured for us from the upper class men. Several completed the Freshman year and helped to keep us going. Frandzel and Preis were leaders of the class for brief periods, and performed their duties Very capably. I As we entered our Junior year and left the first be- hind, so we dropped our likeness of boyhood and assum- ed the attire of mature young men. The year was full of changes. The slow process of elimination continu- ed to reduce the number in the class. As our leaders left, someone else always bobbed up to take the vacant place. The happenings were so few and fleeting that they are hard to recall until the latter part. It was not unil after the summer work that we real- ly became organized under the leadership of Dutch Groman, who still continues in that capacity. At this time we also received into the class three additions who made history for the nineteen-twenty class. They were Mills, Goldberg and Smith. We contributed to athletics in a whole-hearted way. Three letter men on the base- ball team and five on the football squad were credited to our class.

4 THE GLEANER e Zass zsscrg GEORGE FORMAN Ladies and Gentlnien:-It happened during the year nineteen hundred and seventen, when all nations were engaged in the most talked of and thought of conflict recorded in the pages of history. The outcome of the war was to have an effect upon every individual in every country thruout the entire earth, whether he be old enough or capable of bearing arms or not. The effect was appreciated at an early period by certain individuals who decided that, since they were not of age to bear arms, there was another way just us necessary and honorable The other way was shown us by such men as Hoover, whose work was the teaching of conservation and production. As was said before there were many who decided to produce and who thought the best way of acquiring this knowledge was through the National Farm School. The circular, outlining all requirements, appealed to every one who read it. . They were all informed to report March first, nine- teen hundred and seventeen. But one enthusiast, who determined to enter, arrived seven days before the set time. He was the first arrival and, I am proud to say, is still with us and graduating with high honors, being six feet in height. This specimen gave his name as Salem G. Fine and announced that he hailed from Titus- ville, which burgh was soon made famous by the afore- said specimen. March first came and, with it, a bunch of green stuff, greener than God's green earth. They came from all parts of the United States, one from New Orleans, one from Pittsburgh and a bunch of wise cracks from New York. They all congregated in this melting-pot, which takes in all raw material and turns out a finished product. ' After all were assembled we received our baptism in the form of living on O. R. and occasionally, tea, spreading farmer's gold over Mr. Young's wide and beautiful acres, and other surprises that come in the first few weeks of a Freshman's life.

6 THE GLEANER Our Senior year found us Well organized and, when the nineteen-nineteen class left We were ready to con- tinue in their footsteps and, under the guidance of Groman and Mills, things began to hum. Throughout the preceeding year the Literary So- ciety Was practically a dormant institution. It was re- vived by George Golberg and regular meetings were held until the summer months Under the leadership of Braunstein the baseball team defeated P. I. D. and Chestnut Hill Academy. It is rated as the best team ever produced and the vic- tories of the season support this statement. About this time it was our good fortune to receive into our class one by the name of Goldston, an ex-17 man and an overseas veteran. His wish was to complete his Farm School course. , The thing which will be remembered by our class is the football season of the Senior year. The team was captained by Ira Mills and managed by Smith. Both men Were in the class but two years and succeeded in mak- ing their letters both in basebal and football. With Coach Work and excellent material the best team in the history of the school Was produced. The Senior Class was credited with six regulars and three substitutes. Four of the letter men were placed on the All-Farm School eleven. They were Mills, Gro- man, Brunwasser and Fine. After a strenuous football season quiet was en- joyed. Every Senior thought of Christmas and the last vacation granted at Farm School. The vacation over all began to read the future by their search for posi- tions. And then, in the last month's of our stay, all but two of the entire class were claimed by sickness and as- sociations Were continued in the sick rooms of Lasker Hall. Here We ended our Farm School career and Wait- ed forth the time to say farevvell. 4 5' T
