Men of the Twenty-Two class who fought for the school were Snyder, Gelles,and Goldfield. Then came that blessed age when we entered upon our duties as Seniors. As the song goes on, And when we reach our Senior year, Of all things we have lost our fear. The year was started with Rabinowitz as president.

'-v THE GLEANER 195 Gilman liiatnrg BY BURTON BERLACK Ladies and gentlemen:- It was in the year nineteen hundred and nineteen and in the month of March that the Philadelphia and Reading train from Philadelphia dumped a load of bag- gage in front of the Farm School station. After close examination, a small animal was seen struggling in the midst of it. Ma.ny conjectures were made as to what sort of specie it was. Mr. Marcovitz, our eminent biolo- gist at the time, said it looked similar to the specie marco- vicie, but he was not sure of it. Meyer Goldman said it resembled an aborigine of the Fiji Islands. At last Miss Colvin, the acting governor, came along and took charge of the small insect. After close questioning, she found it to be Joe Leedes, the first member and nucleus of the Class of Nineteen Twenty-two. From this time on the Farm School station took on the appearance of the Read- ing Terminal as more members were added to the clan. As train after train entered the school, the tribe increas- ed. The Seniors welcomed us with open arms, farmeris gold, the horse trough, etc. Our Hrst athletic endeavors were to see just who could pay the most dues and initia- tion fees to the upper classmen. As time went on, more and more entered, while others left. How well do we re- member Texas, our star second basemang Berman, our star third basemang Ross, our honorable vice presidentg Bob Hays, the galloping cow-boy, Seidman, our noted president, and Feder, the comedian. During the sum- mer, the Zionist fever struck us, and many Zionists came here to learn farming. When they left we found a poor, dejected 'dgure in the building where they had resided. After proper nourishment and good treatment, it turned out to be Mike Frishkopf, the future Editor-in-Chief of the Gleaner. In the fall we lost some of our best men in the persons of Hill, Krauss and Hesch, by promotion. In our freshman year we gave to the baseball team a man who was destined to captain the team in his senior year, namely Joe Leedes. To the football team we gave Sny- der, the star of the Nineteen Twenty-one Football Team. The end of our freshman year was marked by a banquet held in Chalfont. In Junior year we acted our parts. The freshmen were welcomed with due respect. We saw the student council come and go. To the orchestra we contributed,

THE GLEANER 197 East will zmh Efmatament nf the Gilman nf 1922 By HARRY KRISHER Ladies and Gentlemen :-- We, the Class of '22, feeling that our stay in this little world is drawing to an end and wishing to dispose of all our possessions in a manner doing justice to our heirs, hereby draw up this document as our last will and testament: Knowing that where there is a will there is a bunch of contestants, trying by any means to prove the irre- sponsibility of the departed, we, as a measure of protec- tion for our loving heirs, have each undergone the A. R. O. tests under an expert, who will swear in any language testifying to our perfect sanity. However, as in every division there is bound to be some dissatisfaction we beg those fortunate individuals whom we deem worthy of becoming our heirs to receive their legacies in good spirits, knowing that we leave to them that which we considered they deserved or needed. I. To Dr. Krauskopf and the board of the National Farm School, we leave our heartiest thanks for all they did for us during our stay here. II. To the Faculty we bestow a crackerjack piece of our handiwork, namely, the faculty tennis court. We also leave them our wishes that they come in at least second best during the tennis tournament. III. To our worthy director we leave the demerits which we painfully saved, one by one, to be redistribut- ed among the desrving students. Although they are slightly worn they still have good teeth. IV. To our learned teacher of English History and Historic English we leave a season raih'oad ticket good either way between Doylestown and Farm School. Upon presentation of this ticket and ten cents for every trip, he will be allowed to use said railroad practically free of charge. V. To Mr. Stangel, whose hair has whitened in his efforts to drill Farm Crops into us, we leave any raw ma- terial which he can find at Farm School, and if he can turn out any kind of a basket ball team under the pres- ent adverse conditions, he will stand out as the first man who did this for Farm School. VI. To Mr. Campbell, whose interest in automo-
