All through the year it has been an inspiration to us, for on it were represented the highest and finest type of manhood. For the kindly assistance they have rendered in guiding us through our moments of depression, for the wonderful encouragement, counsel and attention they have given us, we, the class of IQZ3, as a token of our esteemed gratitude, dedicate to the Athletic Board this Year Book, to show that in the heart of the class there is keen appreciation of their unselfish interests.

INTROSPECTION By VICTOR i i And as We retrospect let us introspect. And let us not be sparing. Let us hold the mirror of Public Opinion before us and see Whether our deeds and actions of the past year that is therein reflected are a credit or dis- credit. As is the custom and is quite natural, the present Senior Class has been the executive part of the student body for the year of 1922. To the gradu- ates I say: Have you as a leading spirit, done your best to promote the proper enivornment for the School? Have you fulfilled the expectations held of you by the faculty and supporters of this school? Have you done 4 'l'H:'I G!.!2.XTClCR your best in the creating of a higher standard to be set up as the goal for future classes to attain? And to the rest of the students I say: Have we as undergraduates done our best in co-operation with the Seniors? Let us be trunk with ourselves. Une ot Ill? best ways ot digging out I2lllllS and GOI'- recting them is vigorous self-criticism. We niust set forth the failures und success of the past, that we may profit by them, and thus be able to com- mence the new year with definite aims, ambitions and with tangible prob- lems to settle. To do this. I inet r-sk the nrivileze of entering into this article. the per- sonal element. Since I take upon myself, the role of critic, and since I think that my thoughts have not been dissimilar to those of the rest of you, I believe it is pertinent for me to assume the above mentioned dignity. .ind l ':1 c fr '-cc 'rt rw-mor . fC!!0V'- f'f 'fQ, M -'K dav of my en- trance into the portals of this institution: a warm day in March, 1922. Fami School is quite different from the aevrage training school. and it is therefore rather hard for the newcomer to adjust himself to his novel sur- roundings. lt is done. however, and very nicely. Those fellows who came here when the term first began will probably remember a little event that took place. lt is commonly known as the Seniors' Social Affair. That it WEB a complete success, I as a Freshman was not at that time prepared to say. As l look back upon it now, I can readily see the purpose it served. There is a great doubt in my mind, however, as to whether or not, this initial admoni- tion of the Freshman created the effect that was intended. Has terrorization in any form ever induced true loyalty? With no little temerity I voiced these thoughts to an upperclassman. I was told that Class Distinction was an absolute necessity to a school of this kind. With great eloquence, it was pointed out to me that perfect harmony in our work in the fields sans class distinction would be practically nil. I agreed. Yes, to a certain ex- tent there must be class distinction, but there are such things as extremes. I have been pleased to observe that, beginning with the present graduating class. that class distinction in Farm School's social life has become less and less of an all dominating factor, for I am convinced that we can have a much more etlicient organization among ourselves if there is less ill feel- ing between the classes. For we must remember that a student body of 100 can be very easily be divided upon the merest trifle. The first month of a new student's life, here, is of the most vital im- portance, for it determines just what his attitude will be for the rest of his stay. We must have the correct spirit instilled right from the start. Has this been done to the classes of '23 and '24? Their careers show that they do not possess it. I shall explain this statement anon. In this respect, how- ever, I believe the present Freshman Class has been fortunate. Because of a milder and more just enforcement of Class Distinction, they have more heartily entered into school activities, and with the aid of certain of its former members, it has been able to establish an enviable record. All of the mistakes that the present graduating class has made and there have been many, can be directly traced to an alarming lack of pep, which is so necessary in producing results. As I mentioned before, it is expected that the Senior Class shall be the leaders of the student body. It is, therefore, unseemly and a very bad example to the underclassmen when this selfsame Senior Class is divided against itself. It hinders progress and certainly does not inspire confidence in others. We have had a very bad season in athletics and not a very bril- liant success in our social affairs. Our paper has been only partially sup- ported anfl there has been very little activity throughout all of the student organizations. And what has been the cause of this general breakdown in our morale? What is the reason for our lack of co-operation? It is hard to state one particularly reason, for the causes are many and the instances manifold and seemingly petty. I will try however, to bring to light the weak- 'PHE GLEANER 5 nesses of the frame upon which we are trying to erect our school life machine. Because of the fact that the entire -student body depends upon the Seniors for leadership, it is incumbent upon the Seniors to have a smooth running class organization to insure harmony wth external forces. And this has not been true this year. Have those men who have been the officers of the Senior Class performed their duties? And if they have, as I believe most of them have, why have they not then received the backing that was due them? Undeniably there has been a distinct break within us. Our main purpose in the heat of argument has been lost sight of, as is usually the out- come in such a case, and almost ludicrous situation fto the disinterested non-participantsl has ensued. Talk has replaced action. We have heard yapp from all different sides of the question that was so deadly serious to us and nothing real, practical, or concrete has been accomplished. Dis- sension has not only disrupted the political harmony of the executive or- ganization of the student body, but it has also spread into insiddious influence among the rest of the student interests and has all but paralyzed construc- tive activity. And not only that. Our social affairs have been directly influenced by this political function. ls it possible that one will put his best effort into putting across any sort of a dance, entertainment or gathering when he gets the impression that somehow he is not getting any benefit by it? Or when he instinctively feels that he is beng excluded? There has been a feeling fo restraint even in our moments of joy and relaxation. Isolated as we are, and living togther as we do, there should at a time of universal merrymak- ing a universal indulgence of it. At those times, at least, should be created a fraternal spirit that would insure a wholehearted enjoyment of the affair at hand. Then we could look back upon our days at Farm School with pleasant thought. When a class 'gives a dance, or when the Literary Society announces a program, they should be backed by the support of all of us. No one should be allowed to feel that he has been neglected. We should all participate. When the Junior prom was held, the Freshmen were thoretical- ly ibut evidently not practicallyl snubbed, and the Seniors seemed to feel since it was nothing of their own business, it need not be supported, so that the Juniors entertained a very select and exclusive crowd. This occasion should have been turned over to the use of the entire school. As it Was, We did not get the benefit of the money, labor, and time that was spent on it. And what dull evenings have been those turned over in honor of our letter men! How execrably attended! They should have been gala events. Oui social attempts are the brighter side of our school life. They relieve the un- avoidable monotony of our class and industrial work. We should exploit our opportunities to the nth degree and make the most of them while we may. Athletically we have been a brilliant failure, which also can be traced 'directly back to our disastrous attempt to fight each other. When we do not produce a winning team, there are always plenty of alibis to be found. Either the m-en on -the team are poor, or the coach is to blame. We can always find enough fellows who feel that the authorities have a personal grudge against them that prevents them making a team. These fellows seemed to think that if a coach would' only give them a chance, they would undoubtedly bud into stars. And yet when they did get a chance, they invariably failed. Why should they think that unless they get on the team, it isn't Tsorth support- ing? Every athletic organization, even the most successful. come across such petty problems: they are not relegated to Farm School alone. They must be met and overcome. The real cause for the poor showing any sport makes is either that there is trouble a.mong its participants themselves, or there is insufficient co-operative work done by their supporters, or else that the coach is not iitted for, the Job. Of all these the SBCOHU is the one that -can be applied to the dilemna faced by our atheltic organization this year. 5 THE GLEANER 1 believe that the fellows on the baseball and football teams have done their I -lx. -o Q-'yi'-r H-fe I-fy---vvvv--fone-no -and havn ehnwn their lovaltv 'Phil Hnnnhni have done their utmost. in spite of the unjust criticism voiced against them publicly and privately by some of us. The athletic board has performed admirably and is above reproach. The fault is with us, the erstwhile critics. We have not done our duty. Instead of offering our services, and inspiring confidence in our players. we have done just the opposite. We have talked and talked during the baseball and football seasons, but that is all. And the result is general hard feeling and restraint among us. Instead of waiting a more opportune time to air grievances and irregularities of which we were aware long before: we chose to cause trouble by unjust criticism of the coaches at a crucial time, and by breaking down the morale of the players by hasty talk. We have ourselves to blame, but l know that the harrowing experiences that the year has brought forth will only be as lessons to Ill, in the creating of a better understanding and better spirit for next year. l do not believe that Farm School offers a very inspiring field for liter- ary effort: due probably to the practical nature of most of our work. So, of course, we could not expect more than a certain amount of writing done by the students. but this year rand I say it with sorrowl there has been a much less trend in that direction than usual. Fellows, if we need anything, we badly need more of a literary atmosphere. Our work is cut and dry, and leaves little room for the imagination, and surely athletics alone does not cultivate that culture that is so economically and socially necessary in this world if we expect to have intercourse with the outside world. There are two channels at present, through which we can express our thoughts-the Literary Society and The Gleaner. The Literary Society Cat what times it actually did functionb has afforded us very little attraction, and this leaves practically one thing to support-The Gleaner. Have we taken advantage of this? We have neglected our most vital organ, the mouthpiece of the stu- dent body, the most cherished privilege that we have. An editor-in-chief and a staff were appointed, and then we patiently turned our backs and left them to do the work so that we could make a decent showing. I wish to compliment and sincerely thank the editor and his staff for the work that they turned out for us, in spite of the coldness and apathy shown them. I have not said all this through a spirit of malice. It hurts me because I con- sider myself an accomplice to these facts. The problem of the lack of co-ordinate work, after all, is not new. lt has been met in past years by former classes. It has been a little more apparent this year. That is all. The cause, which should have been elimi- nated long before, has been allowed to develop. And by the cause, I mean the secret society within the student body. We all know that it exists. We all know the harm that it has done, in spite of its good intentions. We all know in most cases its leaders have been popular, brainy, and sincere fellows. But they have allowed their good intentions and their manner of work to defeat their purpose. They meant to keep up the old Fami School spirit, and.yet they did the opposite by the lack of con- fldence they inspired within us by their secrecy. This society was the cause. l know, of the break which has been so evident in the student body this year. By the time this article goes to print, it is to be hoped that the unpleasant pressure that lt has lately received, and the publicity its leaders have received, not through our good work, so much as the needed help of the faculty, have caused it to disband. We have had about enough of bitter feelings: it's about time for some unified action. Up to now I have devoted my space to severe criticism, and mayhap, have created the wrong impression that the Senior class was responsible for the lethargic year we have passed. That is not so. The under-classmen have been as much to blame, if not more. We constitute the-majority. And we could have greatly helped thc situation by a little clean thinking, less talk, and 'l'lil'I CIIIICANICIQ sane action. VVe ought to be prepared now to cope with next year's prob- lems, since we have seen what there is to be looked out for. But enough of this. The Senior class has not been entirely unsuccessful. It has ex- celled in many ways and set us an example that will not be easy to follow. Although collectively the present graduating class cannot boast of a shining record, individually, the class has established a mark that is in- deed enviable. In individual effort in scholarship and industrial work it has excelled, and on one can say that the Senior class has failed when it came to putting across anything that was symbolic of it. Well, fellows, the year is spent, good or bad, and soon all that we have gone through will be history, and much of its trials and disappointments will have lost their sting. We can, however, immediately profit by them. Letfs do so. In parting with our companions, let us give them assurance that we have stopped being children and are mature. Let us impress the faculty With the fact that we are trustworthy and dependable, and they, I am sure, will see to it that we get the moat of our last year in school. We have big improvements to institute next year, and we need the best that is in every Junior and Freshman to carry them through. Our fond dreams of a practical working student council are rapidly taking shape, and it will need every bit of support that you can give it. Seniors, in our last farewell we have but one more thought to give you. Many of you are using Farm School as a stepping stone to a higher educationf although you all should indulge in further education, whether it -be in systematized form or notl, and in your travels you will probably come across the same diificulties on a larger scale that you have encoun- tered here. We, the under-classmen, cherish the hope that your experi- ence at Farm School will make easier those difficulties. As alumni, We hope that you will preserve your interest in us by giving us, in spirit, at least, a helping hand in our task of attaining the success you most as- suredly would have attained had circumstances been different.

Once every year during the bleak days of February, Fate casts a sad- ness over the school as the Seniors prepare to depart.

MAIN BARN The Main Barn bids farewell to the Class of 1923. We are sorry to see you leave us. Your mission has been fulfilled and we can only Wish you good luck and success in your chosen field. The Main Barn has appreciated your kind services, your spirit of co-operation and the sincrity with which you have done your work. Your boyish pranks were mere trifles compared with with your earnest efforts and dec-ds, your accomplishments that have brought credit to us. We shall always hold you in high esteem, whether we gave you a mark of 40 per cent. or 90 per cent., whether we gave you an extra early report, whether wr- gays' you lto your much dislikei the milk pail: whether or not vou like us-these things all pale into inslgniflcance and are forgotten when you leave us and you ask the world for Work. 'l'hf- great forward movement in education today is to train the studs-nt in terms of work and accomplishments, that expresses his thoughts and ideas in terms of action. This has always been the policy of the Main Barn. Your daily details and industrials were lessons to prepare you to do things: for the real value lies in the doing of them: that is, real education: that, is evfrythingg that, is life itself. We hope that you have availed yourself of the opportunities we offered to you in our practcal teaching. Opportunities that develop not simply a student's intellect, but his judgment and will-powerg his eyes and ears, his hands and feet. If you have failed to make good use of these opportunities you are the only one who loses anything. You will be less capable of obtaining and holding FACULTY Ost rulonk. l', D M nyvr, N-Mr. xl tv 'TZ Cf M Sf ..- J P' an .- 5 CL .-I - ZL f- 1-1 -4 7-1 -1 v-I H u-l .-f f if ,- ..- '- .-4 '- 1- -4 5 5 .. .: an I c: : V U2 E c: P uf 1...

The carpenter cannot make a solid mahogany table out of pine lumberg so the School cannot make a first-class man out of poor material. The best the school can do for such a person is to put on a vene-er. These veneered goods deceive some people for a while, but sooner or later they are able to assign them to their proper level in values. When you go out into the world to make your way, people will not ask how much have you read about things, but they will ask you how much can you do, and how well can you do it. What service can you ren- der in compensation for what you expect to receive. That will enable you to get what you want to eat, what you want to wear, and what you want to enjoy. FARM NO. 3 Although on the whole, the outgoing class have been satisfactory students, a few words of criticism and advice, I think, would be beneficial. Some students, as is inevitable, have spent their school time in dodg- ing work. This attitude becomes such a habit that it is persisted in even after-life and thus the hopes of parents and friends are blasted. ln their future life such Students occupy a place of irresponsibility and uselessness. The school is admirably adapted for the training of young men for the farm, however, it requires a conscientious effort on the part of the student to partake fully of the opportunities. It is a shame the school does not have a larger faculty for then the students would receive more individual instruc- tion. The strict application of a work test system would be highly bene- ficial in arousing interest in industrials. Be wary in your choice of a career. If you start as an employee, be sure your employer is one who is capable and interested in you. If you inetnd starting independently, first assure yourslf that you ar fit to undertake the proposition. If your will and attitude are correct there is but one way. and that leads to success. HORTICULTURE DEPARTMENT The work done by the members of the outgoing class has been entirely satisfactory. When out of school, remember that the work on hand is of far greater importance than petty personal desires. A few moments, spent as over- time, in order to properly complete a task are usually Well repaid, as em- ployers love the spirit of interest. Nothing is more dterimental to one's success than carelessness. Thoroughness in details is what distinguishes the successful from the unsuccessful. In the commercial world it is results that count, not verbal knowledge. ARBORICULTU RE DEPARTM ENT The outgoing Senior Class can be divided into three distinct groups. These groups are apparently composed of equal numbers and are as follows: Those who like farming and who have the will to stick to it as their vocation. The so determined individuals, shall Without doubt, be successful in their venture. A second group, would be those who are peculiarly adapted to profes- sional agriculture. They would be more apt to make good with the advan- tages afforded by a college training. The third group is composed of those who look upon farming with dis- dain and vision a swivel chair job at the termination of a college course in agriculture. The invidiual so minded may as Well drop agriculture now rather than waste more time upon it. It would be far better for themselves and the community that they seek what is more to their liking and better suited to their ability. Which are you? Decide and do like unto the advice. 14 THE GLEANER Sahrlatnrg ' By BORIS H. DUSKIN The graduating class of 1923 extends to you a most hearty welcome. We are happy that you are here with us on a day so eagerly looked forward to, the more so because of our desire to enter the ranks of men and pro- ducers. We are on the threshold, I might say, of a new stage of life, open- ing out into a broad vista of opportunity. For most of us, this day compares with that of a graduate student for the ministry. We have come from the cities to study and then put into prac- tice what has been preached to us. We are as a mere handful which is to help check the alarmingly increas- ing farm-to-city movement. May the Lord grant that we may succeed-and reflect the glory of our success upon our Alma Mater. When we began our career as farmers, three years ago, our class was large, but there were some whose views concerning agriculture have chang- ed. others who found themselves unable, for one reason or another, to con- tinue their stay at the National Farm School, thereby reducing our number, at last. to thirty-two. Those of us who have remained have profitted much not only agriculturally. but mentally, morally, physically and socially. Our us through life. I feel that the biggest thing this institution has helped us to common environment has created a change of view and attitude towards our neighbor, a more democratic and less selfish spirit which will remain with acquire is that almost rare quality, MANHOOD. In other words, we have learned to create an aim and then strive for it. It has given us a rudder to steer us through the troubled sea of life towards our destination-Success. For all this. there is one man to whom we offer our gratitude and thanks for having brought these wonderful opportunities and possibilities about- Dr. Krauskopf, the founder of this institution. We are also grateful to Dr. Ostrolenk and the Faculty for their whole- hearted interest in our welfare. And again we extend to all a most cordial welcome. FW? c LQ- J 'FHI41 GLICANICR 15 Igrrarntatinn nf Finn By LEO BENNETT l T In accordance with the custom of each graduating class, as the envoy 'of deliverance of the 1923 class, I do hereby deliver into the hands of the President of the incoming Senior Class this hoe, symbolical of the leadership of the school. ' In relinquishing our ties to the control of our Alma Mater we express our deepest regrets at our failings and justly covet our successes. Our in- terest in the school does not cease here, however. In order to insure the welfare of our School we charge you to remain faithful and loyal. The success of your efforts are not founded ou these two virtues alone, however. Lincoln has said, A house divided against it- self cannot standg and neither can an organization divided against itself stand. Take this example of our class and other classes where dissension and failure have occurred and keep them as a memory, and guard to your actiong and secure absolute co-operation among your student members. It is not the ability of your leaders that countsg it is the co-operation of those who are not the leaders, with the leaders. This may be obtained by a democratic co-operative student government. Abolish distinction arising from prestige and snobbery and substitute for it the undivided spirit of the entire school, and you will succeed in your endeavors and complete your duty to the school as well as satisfy the graduates. O Qllaas IHIIPIII By R. REGELSON Mingled the pangs of parting sorrow, with hopeful longings for the morrow. Last words of friends are softly spoken And tears, the deep felt love betoken. Untried manhood must now go forth alone, To seek in this world its flreside or throne. Although varied and diverse our futures beg All are one-classmates of twenty-three. Cherished our banner, treasured it be, Symbol of school, friendship and twenty-three. More comforting than material gain, ' And more meaningful than worldly fame. Gold symbolic of undaunted youth, Delta, of justice and of truth, Brown, of the vast and fertile earth, The sheaf the harvest it gives birth. Farewell dear school, farewell to thee, Gone are the members of twenty-three. The promising green buds have blown, The gilded petals beneath have shown. 16 THE Gl.l'IANl'Ill Gllass Hisinrg ' By DAVID PLATT What a day this is! What it means to us. How in joy depart we from the protecting folds of our Alma Mater in the world. How many will feel this self-same joy a few months hence. That is the question all graduating classes must face. To-day it is our tum to make history, in the future: to bring fame to our Alma Mater. Our future history is a blank: our past history will now he presented. The prime object in a student coming to this school is to study agricul- ture, in order to take lt up in later life. Farm School however is a great assimilation pot. Here students come from all stations of life and are as- similated into one. From all over, the lure of the farm attracts young men, so therefore we have on a certain day in March, 1920, a group of curious beings being bundled off a Philadelphia and Reading train, at Farm School. What a motley throng they presented and what a curious jabberlng arose. The Philadelphia twang held the greatest sway, but the New Yorkers were heard also. In a few days they came piling in from Chicago, Cleveland, New Jersey. Maryland, Tennessee, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Colorado. After a week's stay the act of assimilation really began, especially after being introduced into the varoius intricacies and sciences of Farm School. We became very much wiser men after a week's stay. Our class was organized by the Seniors and David Rothstein chosen president. Those early days were filled with the squabbles, and our deep planted hatred for our schoolmates. We were changed by their well mean- ing action from docile beings into a vengeful pack. Oh! we were green. Now that we had become settled in our classes and work, we imbibed more and more of the good old Farm School spirit. Baseball season was on hand and we did our bit by contributing to the Varsity such men as Bennett and Bein. Then we began to prepare for our first great event, the Fresh- man-Junior baseball game. The Juniors won 6-2, but were we discouraged, I should say not. Up to this time we were getting smatterings of work, but now, with the advent of harvest we began to experience real farm labor. Then the process of weeding out began. We lost many good men, but those that remained were shown to be nobler of spirit, for the reason of their remaining. The joy of those days I am sure will never be forgotten. Who could for- get those glorious days of pitching hay, wrestling with it in the mow and the glory of tough growing muscles. But the work had its compensations, for there was the lake to receive our tired bodies in its cooling water, and the tennis courts were always being fought over by anxious players. Every- one of us can say that it was the most enjoyable summer that we have ever spent. Autumn came and with it classes and promotions from our class. We 'lost some of our best men by promotion, namely, Fox, who was to become president of the 1922 class and of the Literary Society: Schorr, who was to necome Business Manager of the 1921 Gleaner: Wenger, who was to become captain of the 1921 football varsity: Blumer, Awkburgh and Rothstein. This left our class bereft of its leaders, subsequently we set about elections. Trupin was elected president in which capacity he served till he left us in January. At this time we experienced the height of our spiirt for were we not primed up for our football fracas with the Juniors. Oh, revenge would be sweet, consequently we set about our practice in such business-like manner that we held that haughty tribe to a 20-0 score, which in the face of what 'PHE GLICANER 17 we were up against was morefa victory than a defeat, and was felt by everyone as such. Christmas drew near, and then an event occured which was a mighty bereavement for us. Our beloved and esteemed classmate Disbo had left us. No one could experience the grief that we went through. Nay we will never forget that estimable character. At the close of our year we celebrated with a banquet held in Doyles- town. It was an unforgettable incident and one that will never be forgot- ten by the cohorts of the Brown and Gold. There was resolved To do unto others as we would have others do unto us in regards to the Freshman. Whether we did or not is up to that noble body to decide. We started our new year under the leadership of Bennett, who retained it to this day. We started our Junior year living up to all expectations of us. We plac- ed four men on the baseball Varsity. The Freshmen though reprimaded were always given a square deal. In the interclass baseball game they held us to a 12-12 tie. We were a trifle disappointed of course, but had to ad- mire the Freshmen for their noble spirit. This year was most enjoyable to us. The Seniors handled all affairs remarkably well and we did our share of enjoying the results. The dances and picnics were declared the best ever. The summer labor held no terror for us this year for were we not almigh- ty Juniors. The work seemed trivial in comparison to the way it seemed the year before. . .. . . The football season opened with a bang and we succeeded in placing four men, Herman, Savage, Duskin and Schwartz on the best team Farm School ever had. However we were disappointed when the Freshmen held us to a 0-0 tie in the interclass game. ' One thing that was upheld this year by us was a high scholastic stand- ard. Although specific instances are not needed the generalized attitude of the class was commendable. On February 25 our Junior year was at an end and those responsibilities that we looked upon once with awe were now facing us. Primed with reso- lutions we set out on our Senior year with high hopes. In the case of unsuccessful teams and social affairs we are completely. exonerated. For teams we needed material and we were very sadly in lack of it. The social ffairs rely on the entire student body. We did our share but the affairs could have been much better. However, the year passed quickly for most of us, but we look back with a feeling of satisfaction real- izing what valuable knowledge we have picked up, that will prove important in our future. This event is the turning point in ou lives. We out the tithes now, that bind us, symbolically speaking, to law and authority. It is up to us to uphold the name of our Alma Mater, and inscribe our names with those who have given to the world, something.

'ff' i wr ' vwag' 'l'Hl4l flLl4lANlCIt 1159 Qllaaa Igrnphvrg Twelve years had past since graduation. With a dcsirc to gcc what had become of my classmates I decided to make a trip around the world, in an effort to find some of them. Accordingly I filled the tank of my air flivvcr ta Phorde 19914 elephant power aeroplanel with T. N. T. which substance replaced the old fashioned gas Philadelphia being the nearest city, I decided to make my first stop there. As I approached the city, I flew closer to the ground to find a land- ing place. I noticed a large sign, reading thus: I'll sell you nine fresh T. N. T.g if you need gas, come and get it free! Attracted by this poetic advertisement, I landed there, needing some T. N. T. after my long trip. To my surprise I saw Duskin come out of the T. N. T. station. I expected to find you on a farm! I exclaimed. Yes, but I am not as well adapted for farming as for other things. I was making big money inflating balloons with hot air at which art I am talented. Now that balloons are no longer used I started in the aeroplane business. Now I sell T. N. T. I give gas to anyone who wants it, as no one will buy it! He offered me someg I suddenly remembered that I was in a hurry, so I jumped into my Phorde, bidding Duskin good-bye as I switched on the self- starter AS I was seeking some of my classmates in South Philadelphia, an ash collector attracted my attention. He was heaving large ash cans into the wagon with admirable technique. I recognized him and said, Hello Rabono- witz! He' inquired, Who's-da'? and turning around, recognize-fl me. I see you are using the experience you acquired in Segal Hall to ad- vantage, I remarked. Did you get your 'bear' back? If you step out in de Hall? said Rabonowitz, rolling up his sleeves and pointing to Independence Hall. I then decided that I had a date elsewhere, and flew to Farm School in my Phorde. Bennett was teaching the co-eds of this institution fwhich was now a university JHebrew. The chapel was being used as a shelter for the progeny of the famous Bundy and Rex. Bennett informed me that a Freshman, in quest of species encountered these canines, and, mistaking them for wolves, shot and stuffed them. tHe was marked 100,000 by the zo- ology professorj The A. A. field and campus comprised 500 acresg general farming was taught at tl1e student gardens -the brigadier had been replaced by a gen- eral-farmerg this man was, of course, Prof. Weiner, P. G. He was hard at Work teaching the Freshmen the difference between a bull calf and a female pineapple tree. Each underclassman had charge of a plant, such as a pear tree, carrot, etc., it was the Senior's sole Cfootj occupation to see that the work was done properlyg yet the Seniors were always kicking. according to Prof. Weiner. Every carrot, beet and onion had an underclassman's name written on a conscipcuous labelg it was Prof. YVeiner's work to scrutinize each plant with a miscroscope every day, and mark the student according to its health and growthg this was easy, as there were only 563 Freshmen. I was surprised to see a large museum, which belonged to the institu- tion. I entered this edifice, and saw a cereal bowl on display containing a quantity of wet cereal fit was preserved in alcoholj with a large worm in this significant background. It was labeled Skoolpharm Vermi-found in 40 THE GLEANER its natural haunts by Dr. Ambromavits, S. O. L., in the year 1923, for which reason that gentleman was deprived of his ralment tnot by the moth'B uninni. but in retaliation. Sanford is ruling Farm No. 3, under the title of Brigadier II. I next traveled to Doylesburg where I found Landau and Hermann. Lan- dau had started a Chinese section in that noble burgh, to the horror of some of its aristocratic inhabitants. He was conducting a chop suey establish- ment. Pincus had started a day nursery, Pincus having specialized in nur- sery work while at the arboriculture department. This did not surprise me. His establishment stood between the residence of Landau and Hermann, two successful Doylesburg citizens. From here l went to N. Y. City. I entered a theatre, where The Burn- ing Deck was playing, in which Fairstein, starred as the hero: the had written the immortal poem associated with that title many years ago.J The next play was a comedy, produced by the Arbuckle Philm Co., entitled Krazy Klown's Friend Jake. Krazy Klown. the most corpulent comedian I had ever seen, was being kicked by a mule-lthat is the plot of the com- edyl. l was surprised. that this actor was Malkin: he was probably trying to reduce. Huw had hc gotten fat? l was asking myself. l bought The Daily Crapp, New York's largest newspaper, of which Waxman was editor. On the first page I saw an interesting write up which I shall reproduce in full: Two Eccentric Tramps Found on N. Y. Main Street. The sheriff found a corpulent hobo, in ragged garments, in the act of of making desperate attempts to wallop a smaller, similarly attlred' in- dividual. The smaller one, who gave his name as H. C. Shorr, emerged however unharmed from the encounter. He attributes his escape from the clutches of the other, H. Eskin, to the scientific use of his pedal extremities as shields and weapons of offense. These, being of liberal proportions, af- forded an excellent weapon and barrier. Eskin declined to reveal the source of his intoxication. Cyrus H. Goldich Acquires Harem in Turkey. Cyrus H.

Another article of interest is here reproduced: Doctor Abromowitz, the Famous Poultryman, Has Invented New Device for stimulating Egg Production. Our reporter went to his model poultry plant ttho strictly speaking, it is an egg plant, as he sells nothing but eggs.J Asked to what principle he attributes his success, he replies: The big Idea is to pull the chicken'S legs: the machine pulls them into the Nest, and their body lwhich contains the eggl naturally must follow. In detail, the desirable effect is caused by providing each chicken with a pair of small, cast iron gloves, shaped like horse shoes, which are firmly attached to their feet. There is a pon erful electro-magnet in each nest, when I pull the switch the iron on their feet is attracted and they are pulled by their legs into the nest, and must stay there til! they lay the egg.

We sell it for a knickle-this attracts the grads, who want to remem- ber old times, Horowitz explained, and added, in a whisper we make four scents on it! I asked him where some of our classmates were. Lasday, who is better known by his psuedonym Dr. Yushman, is con- ducting a sanitarium, with the assistance of Masters and Braumang their place is at Cantbee, Missouri Rottr is in Africa, living on the Sarahara des- sert, Horowitz said. I decided to visit Lasday, Mac and Mitzell at once. I soon landed my Phorde Machine on one of their fields. I saw a cowboy gallop toward me, who proved to be Dr. Yushman himself. Master and Brauman have charge of the deaf and dumb department: Dr. Masters teaches the deaf how not to be dumb and Prof. Bromine teaches the dumb how to talk the deaf and dumb language fluently, Lasday ex- plained. As we entered the building I noticed two men of uncouth appear- ance, who seemed to be either boxing or practicing Jiu Jitsu. I whispered to Lasday, Are those two of the half-wits? No, it's only Prof. Masters arguing with Dr. Brauman in the deaf dumb language! he replied. I yelled to them, but could not stop their quarrel. Lasday turned the fire extinguisher on them, which stopped the argument when they were thoroughly drenched. They now noticed me, and I greeted the gentlemen. I allow the nuts to roam around all over the large ranch, so I can have a. regular round up Cwhcih is my favorite sport.J Before each meal I lasso them, and drag them into the barn, where they are fed, Lasday informed me. By the way-Savage started a poultry farm. He has a hefty heifer on his place. I wonder why he didn't start with a chicken? He'll be henpecked enough, In replied. I next crossed the ocean to Africa, and was flying across the Sahara desert, in search of Rotter. I was soon attracted by a large sign: Spud Ostrich Farm. I landed and entered the barn. I found Rotter here, superintending the barn work. You are using modern advertising methods, I observedg but why have such a large sign here, in the middle of the desert? And why keep it lit during broad daylight? Those lights are vacuum tubesg the rest of my large radio set is in- sideg the bulbs are for two purposes-radioland advertisement. 1 allow the janitor to switch the radio set on every morning to wake me upg the 'static' sounds like artillery! explained Rotter. He showed me the large horn wl1icl1 was placed above the bed to do the trick. To illustrate, he called the janitor and his assistant: I gasped when a grimy man appeared, whom I recognized as Frater, and Liva in like attireg Liva was Frater'-s apprentice. Turn on the radio switch as soon as I start sleeping, Rotter told 42 THE GLEANER the janitors. He then jumped into bed, and was snoring several seconds later. When I-'rater heard this noise, he pressed a button. Then a series of howls and roars issued from the horn, so loudly that the bed shook, throw- ing Rotter to the floor. He began cursing the Call boy, but soon saw his mistake. I can't use an ordinary alarm clock, he explained. Once, when the radio set was out of order, no one could arouse me. By the time the nearest doctor lwho was 1000 miles awayl was brought, I had slept three weeks. He thought I had the sleeping sickness: but when they fixed the wires in the wireless set. and swtched it on, I awoke. Since you have such u powerful radio receiver, you probably know what many of our classmates are doing, I said. Schwartz won fame by writing Fried-Daz and Saturday Knights. Gladney squeezes the juice from skunks in a wine press. He always uses his fresh ones for this purpose, selling the skins, and selling the juice as vita- mine extract to limburger cheese factories. Eisler is teaching Greek to the Jewish lrishmen in Poland, the Polish gov't. hires him to thus punish these undesirable immigrants. Rotter informed me. And-I almost forgot to mention itl Reuben is now in central Africa, hunting big game., Last year he was working in a slaughter house killing pigs. He was an excellent butcher, but was fired because he treated the animals too cruelly before he killed them. ' So Regelson is hunting big game! I exclaimed. I-Ie's probably shooting craps: that's considered a big game by some authorities! I sar- castically added. I was anxious to see Reuben, so I bade farewell to Rotter and departed. l had not gone many miles over the Jungle when a large gathering of savages attracted my attention: they were loudly chanting. I approached cautiously. The savages were cooking something in a huge pot. Wondering what sort of soup they were making, I looked with my telescope. As I was adjusting the instrument I heard a fierce cry, Oy Za- Za! come from the woods. Instantly there was a wild commotion among the savages, who fled in precipitate haste. Then a large animal, resembling an ape, which I thought must surely be the missing link. ran into the clearing to the large soup kettle. He pulled something out of it which appeared to be a large piece of meat. As the sun had set, it was difficult to see what was happen- ing: but when the fire, fanned by a breeze, flickered to a better flame, the wild man inspected the meat which he had pulled out of the soup, intending to eat it. Reggie! he yelled in surprise, and the object feebly said Itzig! by way of recognition. The voices seemed familiar, so I stepped into their view. They both pronounced my name in surprise, and I saw theye were Platt and Regelson! I am a fugitive from justice, Platt exclaimed. The prohibition agents wanted me for selling wood alcohol under false pretenses-I fled to Africa, and decided to live the unrestricted life of a cave man. Sneid, who is king of a tribe of cannibals, is here, and I delight in pursuing him, he continued. The superstitious savages think I am a spirit, though I am only an ex- spirit merchant. Regelson, in turn, told his story: I came to Africa in quest of speci- mens. I had heard of an animal called' the phagot which was found in the jungle. I obtained permission to hunt these animals from the native's ruler, Sneidman fmy old friend.J One day, as I was phagot hunting, I shot the King's pet phagot, for which offense he ordered his warriors to fry me in lard. Hence, I pleaded with him, until he made a compromise, and told them to convert me into soup. They were cooking me when Platt saved my life by dispersing them. I then entered the jungle in the direction the fleeing savages had taken, with the intention of seeing Sneid, their King. The savages, thinking I was a missionary, pounced on meg Sneid told them to broil me, but he recognized THE flLlCANlClt 411 me before they started, ordering them to i-clcsh-he mc.

When he did this the savages bowed and cried Hail, King Zu Za! He proudly said that he had trained them to thus salute him. I started a greenhouse in the Sahara desert: I couldn't sell the vars I inter- rupted curiously, Was the 'car' a flivve1'? Sneid continued k-k-car-nation! I tried to sell them to the natives, but they wouldn't buy them. They liked my looks, so they elected me chief!

OH MY YES! 45 THE GI.l'IANl'IR Halrhidnrg By MAx Ro'r'rsR I..xon:s .axn Gi.xrn.i:ui:x, I-'i-:i.1.ow S'rLvvr:x-rs .vxn Cl.AssxiA'ri:s: The inevitable reaction following the close of the World War sub- merged our country into the chaos of economic depression. As usual, the bulwark of the burden in the struggle for readjustment was borne upon the shoulders of the farmer. The purchasing power of his products rela- tively declined far out of proportion to that of his contemporary craftsmen. Whereas, the cost of one wagon, before the war, was the equivalent of 200 bushels of corn, after the war he had to pay 650 bushels. The object lesson taught through the bitter experience of a Civil War, awoke our country to the realization of its complete inpotence without the basic support of a sound and stable agriculture. Congress prudently as- signed large appropriations for the erection of agricultural colleges and ex- periment stations to foster educational opportunities in mastering the prin- ciples of scientific and eiiicient farming. The methods of production subsequently employed by the American hus- bandman compared favorably with that of the extensive manufacturing in- dustries of the city: yet his financial status on the whole relatively remained at par with the drudgery wearied tiller of the soil of a hundred years ago. The farmer led a more or less isolated and secluded life, making him independent in thought and action almost to the point of aloofness. This individualistic attitude was the impeding barrier in his economic progress. Those corporations and labor unions most securely cemented in the unity of organization, withstood the shock of post war depression with apparent immunity and it was not until virtually driven to the wall in the dark days of 1920, facing financial disaster that the farmer was brought to realize the vital necessity of protective organization and economic co-operation. The ensuing results are a matter of recent events. At the last session of Congress more beneficial legislation was enacted, due to pressure exerted by the farm bloc than that accomplished in the total efforts ot' half a century. The American Farm Bureau, representing one million farmers, in their third annual conference, unanimously endorsed the resolution encouraging the establishment of co-operative marketing associations. At present, there are over 200 such organizations in full operation and the ball has just started rolling. Above all the most encouraging criterion in the trend of present-day agriculture is the increasing percentage of young agricultural college gradu- ates that are going back to dad's farm with the explicit purpose of assum- ing the reins of management on a profitable basis. Thus applying the ad- vantages of improved roads, inexpensive automobiles, telephones, radio and all the benefits of civilization: he is running his farm on the same business principles and with as much skill as the merchant and manufacturer of cor- responding capital. Keeping in close touch with his markets and the current affairs of the world, he is broadening his vision and gaining the respect and esteem of his fellowmen. With a new day dawning in the evolution of our chosen vocation we, the graduating class of 1923, face our entrance to a new life with a courage- ous and optimistic outlook. Equipped with the training of our three years' sojourn in Farm School we expect to adopt ourselves to our new environ- ments with the avowed determination to make good. Our time spent within the portals of this institution shall be an investment of priceless renumera- tion. At the arrival of this moment our supreme anticipation for the last 'Pllltl GI,ltJANlGlt til twelvc months assumes a new aspect, as we arf- brought to f'HIIlIH'f'llf'llfl its true significance. It means the severing of old traditions, tht- parting of friends ond the abandonment oi' fond associations. We did not rf-alizc the strength of attachment to our Alma Mater until this nionufnt ol' partinzr. Our teachers, director and matron we view in a new light. 'l'o tliffni we are graciously indebted l'or their unselfish endeavors in moulding our char- acters to conform with the principles of right living and true thinking. We wish them a happy and prosperous career with the hope that sonic day they shall experience the satisfaction of realizing the results of their labors through the achievemtents of their proteges. To the ladies' board and those worthy gentlemen who sacrificed their time, money and convenience in coming out here to benefit us with their services, no words can fully express our appreciation and gratitude. To the venerable Dr. Krauskopf We extend our liearttelt homage-. The memory of his paternal interest for our well being, his fatherly advice and inspiring sermons shall ever be stimulating incentives toward lofty aspirations. Fellow students, appreciate the results accomplished through the untir- ing efforts of a quarter-century and help lighten the burden ol' the founder of your institution by co-operating with the director and yourselves, for a better and greater Farm School. Fellow Classmates, as a final farewell tribute to dear old Farm School, let us one and all fervently pledge with the deepest of sincerity, to sacredly uphold the honor of her reputation and constantly strive to be a credit to our school. .

To take the reins of government on the straight and narrow path is no cinch, but with the backing of the underclass- men everything will go right. Anxiously but patiently we are waiting for February 22 to come. We feel confident to uphold the honor and traditions of our Alma Mater. We wish the best of luck to the graduates and hope that they succeed in this wide world. Hy N. L., Sec'y. l925 lf, in this, our farewell to the Freshman epoc of our stay at Farm School, we seem to be proud, it is justly so. Individually we are prosaic enough, but as a class, the Class of '25, we are worthy of note. Individually, we are in- significant: collectively, we have made history at Farm School. Our name will he handled down in Farm School as the only Freshman Class to triumph over the Juniors in both baseball and football. Moreover, we are the only Freshman class, honored, hy being asked to participate in a Freshman- Junior Love Banquet. The intention of this banquet being to establish more friendly relations between the two classes, thus facilitating better co-opera- Iitill. The various enterprises in which we have engaged and the manifold hardships we have undergone, have welded us together into a single unit. And it is as a unit that we pledge ourselves to uphold the best in Farm School, mentally, socially and physically. In order to uphold the laurels gained in athletics, we have elected Mark Fats Goldstein, football captain and Martin M. Cohien, baseball captain. P. B., '25. LIBRARY The department in this school, which helps the student more than any other, is the Library. It not only assists him in his every-day studies, but it helps to stimulate his interest in higher education. Many of' the fellows come to school with a love for good reading and consequently are always found in the library. Many of our students, unfor- tunately, have not had the ambition to spend their time reading good books. It is these students that the library helps most. We find that many of our boys, whose reacting at first is confined to common everyday trash, in time come to study the best literature. 'l'lllC GLIGANICIQ With the new terin ive are receiving many new boolfsg :-.f'lf'nlillf- and fiction. We have also made a large arlclition in our subscription list ol' nmgn' zines. At present we have approximately 5000 volumes ol' boolfs. Wf- haw also an inflow ol' about 75 magazines, periodically. Since graduation is near, our Senior librarian has turn:-fl his position over to the new librarian, llnrton L. Klein. Mr. lfrater has fulfill:-rl ilu- posi- sition in the most admirable way. His suggestions to students, and his ln-lp is greatly appreciated by all. Now that he is no longer with ns to flirt-at our work, we hope to, with the new assistant, Mr. Golflstein, carry on Ihr- worl-1 that he has so wonderfully carried out. ZIONIST SOCIETY I am sorry to say, that the Zionist Society at the National Farm School was not a very great success this year, due to many reasons. The Zionist Society of the National Farm School, is not supposed to sup- port so much the national movement, as to enable the fellows, who are inter- ested in Judaism, a medium in which they can best enjoy their tendencis. The most important reason why we have failed to make a success this year is non-co-operation. Why this should be so cannot be specially stated. VVe only know that it is so. 'Ne have tried, by entertainments and novel features to create interest in the society meetings, but there has been a lack of pep among the society members. Q Now that we Seniors are departing, we look upon the past year with a little regret and the knowledge that we have not done our best. We can, however, leave to the undergraduate classes the hope that they will continue to support the Zionist Society and cause it to serve its purpose. With this in mind we bid you good-bye, and wish you all success in the next year. li. L., Al. THE SQUARE There has been in Farmt School for the past few months a chess and checker club called the Square. ' The purpose of this organization is to promote social interest among its mlembers and to foster the art of chess and checkers. Since all charter members were of the class of '25 when this club was organized, membership was primarily limited to members of that class only: and because some of our members were promoted into the class of '24, membership is now open to all students of the school. The following are the officers: President, B. L. Klein: vice president. L. R. Blumbergg secretary, W. L. Rinnenberg: treasurer, D. Brown. At present the organization consists of eight members. ' L.

My conception of a criticism is that it is the essence of sound thinking so long a.s it embodies the constructive elements. It is suggestive and aids the trend of one's mind in striking a clear point of view. But no sooner a criticism fails to abide by its principle to remain instructive. it not only be- comes obsolete, but helps to create a partial atmosphere: unconscious of the fact that not the development of mutual feelings between one school and another is the underlining ideag but to improve the literary value of ones magazine. Te fact remains that the Exchange department is gradually growing ex- C. E., 23. 54 THE GLEANEH tinctdbecause the editor in charge-either thru his lack of ability or disre- gard--has demolished the criterion upon which the entire structure of ex- change rests. it had long since ceased to function because it requires from every editor a good bit of courage-courage to assume an individual stand in administering the truth and courage is a mighty dear thing. Not all of us possess it. Thus it becomes evident why so many magazines have eliminat- cd the above department. although they are as yet continuing to exchange. To further illustrate how trivial a stand the Exchange now occupies in the average high school paper l'll quote a few critical passages characteris- tic for their absurdity. 1. You have a very fine paper? 2. An extended exchange would greatly improve your magazine? Il. Where is your exchange department? Such are the procedure of comments. Why an editor should concen- trate his meditative powers in critcising that part which has been left out is beyond my comprehension. Personally, 1 have often been taught to scrutinize and pass judgment over such matters having a basic value and which exist, besides absence of specific departments are very often the result of financial slumps and should be of little concern to an exchange editor. Then what would be a practical solution to this problem? l personally do not know of one particular to improve its general course, hence I dare to proclaim Abolition-a similar principle we oft apply to hast- en a natural process. By pruning off a non-productive branch, we not only enhance the appearance of the bearing tree, but stimulate the remaining branches towards higher specilization. Let the paper continue to be the medium of exchange-the symbol of existing reciprocity. M. B., '23. ALUMNI '13- Louis L. Helfand is a practicing veterinarian at Hammonton, N. J. '17-Sol.
