THE GLEANER 21 X zvssaiasation of ce Ladies and Gentlemen: As far back as civilization can be traced there have always been two great classes of mankind: Those who earn their living by producingg and the rest who subsist by handling the instruments and products of those pro- ducers. The number of food producers in proportion to con- sumers is fast decreasing. Farm School has undertaken the noble work of doing what it can to remedy this most alarming condition. We should all be proudly conscious of the fact that we have been trained as producers of man's iirst necessity. In following our vocation we not only benefit ourselves but our fellowman as well. We shall not be weeds in the garden of mankind. A The implement that has universally been used thruout the ages to combat the weeds inthe hoe. This hoe, embellished with the colors green and gold, we -have adapted as a symbol of our devotion to the soil. The green to signify the glory of the springtime, gold to signify the sunshine without which there could be no harvest. But no matter how favorable the spring, or how friendly the sun, unless we ourselves take the hoe in hand and bend our backs to the task, we can have nothing. You, Mr. Rabinowitz, must bend your back to the task of leading the members of the new Senior class to success- You must help engender in them a love for the tradition for which the hoe stands. To you I tender it, trusting that you will not fail in your duty. In striving to bring Farm .School a step higher in its steady upward climb you have our sincerest wishes for success. Remember never to allow yourselves to become weeds in man's garden. ABRAHAM KROTOSHINSKY, '21 + ln the world's broad field of battle In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife! Longfellow.
