GEORGE WASHINGTON, THE FARMER With the ambition to be America’s first farmer, W ashington was the most progressive planter of his day. He introduced new methods of planting, crop rotation, and modern machinery on his farm. Of farming he says, The more I am acquainted with ag¬ ricultural affairs, the better I am pleased with them; in¬ somuch, that I can no where find so great satisfaction as in those innocent and useful pursuits. In indulging these feelings, I am led to reflect how much more de¬ lightful to an undebauched mind, is the task of making improvements on the earth than all the vain glory that can be acquired from ravaging it, by the most uninter- jTUpted career of conquests.” FIDELITAS” STAFF FIDELITAS STAFF ' hJditor-in-Chi(‘l IO)WARD Hartman .1 sst.

We can say they servial tlnnr class well. It was a memorable class, a ])nr])l( ' and i ' old oiu ' in fact, with tlu ' motto, Non Sobis S( ' d Cc ' teris, which trans¬ lated fi ' om the nol)le lano ' nai ' e of ancient Home rcmds, “Not for our¬ selves, but for others.” October 1-4—AVon the rush of Bunker Mill, an animal event. For this victory wi ' recei ’ed a cake from IMrs. Thurston. Cake was shared with th(‘ dnst-laden, defeated, dnniors. December 7—jMet first scndons defeat-—lost the school fair. Lack of (experience and training- accounted for this. Afarch, 1930—Twenty survived vigorous campaigns of the year; ten of the originals having become dnniors. October 1, 1930—The fornu ' r Freshmen took on the new role of dnniors, the beginning of their second year. It was a year laden with good fortune, a year of accomplishment. AVhen the census of the class was taken, it was discovered that ten more had liecome dnniors, hnt as if fate was trying to do her liest she conpjensated hy adding five more students to the depleted number. The class now totaled fifteen, half the original group. Since bene¬ fiting th(‘ school was one of the things this class stri ved for, it con¬ tributed valuable material for the various offices and positions. Fair- liairn and Palmer were ]mt on the liasketball team; Plankenhorn was made manager and Ostrander, cheer leader. Meade, Fairbairn, and Hartman joined the fraternity. Hartman and Yann were members of the Student Council. As for the fair committee, Plankenhorn, Fair¬ bairn, and IMeade did very well in this capacity. Last but not least, Ostrander and Allen ])layed in the orchestra. This year the ballots disclosed that AYilson Plankenhorn was ]n-esident; Daniel Murphy, vice-president; and Honald Yleade, secretary and treasurer. The Hush of Bunker Hill was again staged and the Class of ’32 again withdrew with laurels. December 6—Again the fair was held, bnt this time a class wise in the ways of snch things was victorious. February, 1981-—Tli(‘ yearly Junior Proiii was held with great success, thanks to the various factors that contributed toward its fulfilhueut. October, 1931—.Viiother October presented itself to begin the third and final vear of that band of blundering vearlings that entered old D. A. S. in’]939. Prior to the o))eiiing of school, September 10, Allen, Plankini- horn, Murphy, Meade, and Plitt went to tin Syracuse State Pbiir to try their hand at judging live stock. The team went through the various phases and afterwards when the results were announced it was found that Daniel Murphy had bettered all of his competitors and hence had taken the State’s first ])lace in dairy cattle judging. He was sent to St. Louis, but lost out; still it was a great honor for Delhi Ag. School. This year the class officers were as follows: President, Hart¬ man; vice-president, Palmer; secretary and treasurer, Meade. The Fraternity and fair committee remained the same as the former year, except Dan Murphy and Hartman took the place of Pairbairn on the committee. Pairbairn reniaim ' d on the basketball team, Plankenhorn was senior manager. Tenney and Wilbur (pialified for the cross country team, with George Plitt as managei . The Oracle came forth wtih P’airbairn assistant business manager and Plankenhorn, sports editor. Student Council had as senior members, Hartman, Pairbairn, and Plankenhorn. December, 1931—The school fair was again won by the class, prov¬ ing that the failure in 1929 was purely a mistake. The only reason 1932 did not win the Bunker Hill Bush was because the class didn’t enter. March, 1932—Commencement with all its activities has passed. The members of this class are about to start on their life journeys. The thought comes that this class taken all in all was one of the most successful classes yet seen in the Ag. School. We extend our greet¬ ings to the members of the entering class and wish them the good luck and fortune with which we Avere blessed. Our ranks have been reduced from thirty to thirteen. Though some campaigns have gone against ns, we still strive to be “P ' irst in War, F’irst in Peace,” and D. A. S. is First in the Hearts of all of ns. Onr last battle has been fought and we are victorious. 1932 JUNE CLASS THE SENIORS June Class Class Flowek American Beauty Rosi ' Class Colors Old Roete and Silver Class ] Iotto Knoir Tliyself i )eeiceks Paul (t.

SOME YEARS HENCE (Class Prophecy) I was riding along in Virginia one day when I chanced to see an old colored mammy putting some cpieer looking objects into a kettle that hnng over a fire. There was such an air of mystery about her that I stopped the car and went over to her. She was muttering an nnintelligihle jumble of words to herself. I tapped her on the shoul¬ der and asked, “What are yon doing?” She looked at me and rolled her eyes until only the whites showed. “Ah puts inter de kettle shin of snake, claw of toad, jaw of lizahd, tooth of mole, an’ conjah things.” “Conjure for me what will happen to the Seniors who graduated from Delhi in 1932,” I said. She made no answer but resumed her muttering. Suddenly out of the smoke I saw arise a gas station with a young man before it filling a gas tank. Clarence Weginan would select an occupation with the word fill (Phyl) in it. The picture became indistinct and another scene formed. It was a rambling farmhouse with seven children playing on the lawn and none other than Florence Littman Kelly on the porch watching over them. A stage took shape in the smoke and I saw a play in progress. The handsome hero clasped the lovely heroine in his arms and I recog¬ nized Marie Roberts and Jimmie Wood. I saw a beauty parlor, evidently on Fifth Avenue, and read the sign, “The Bode Beauty Shoppe. Baby Powders a Specialty.” Of course, it was none other than Emma Bode. A little cottage beside a babbling brook came into view and stroll¬ ing in the garden I saw Karl Brooks and his wife, the former Virginia Hansen. A corner of the campus at Columbia University arose in the smoke and I saw two familiar figures walking side by side and a student hurrying after them. When he was within hearing distance, he called, “Professors.” As they turned, I saw Paul Lewis and Nathan Tanzman and I realized that they had gone far toward success. A Grand Union store presented itself in the smoke and behind the counter Earl Hadden presided as manager. On the basketball court at the University of California Butch Mancusi was playing an excellent game. 1932 Another store formed in the smoke; this time it was an .V. P. stoi ' e. Behind the counter Dorothy Henry was laying down the law to a certain Mr. Dntcher, T assumed that they were married from her actions and his. (irladys Whitney was swimming instructor in the city. Since train¬ ing class days when she used to give free showers, water has had a fatal attraction for her. A city a])artnient took sha])e in the smoke and beside a tireplace sat the dashing yonng Borneo of training class days, George Snttle, and his Inhde, whom I do not recognize. A sign, “Dancing Lessons Given,” appeared in the smoke and I saw Arthur lloolihan instructing a beantifnl yonng lady in the art of ballroom dancing. A broadcasting station came next and before the miscroplione was a lady of very ample proportions lecturing on, “How to keep that slender figure.” She was Dorothy Lanber. Behind the matron’s desk in a girls’ club in New York presided a dignified figure hardly recognizable as the madcap Helen Bobertson who used to throw water on us in training class days. On a stage with colored lights jdaying on her, Hattie Scott was doing an animated tap dance. Among rows and rows of beehives, I saw Gertrude Peirana and a certain Mr. Law strolling arm in arm and I knew then that Gertrude had not curbed her liking for Bees of all kinds. At Owen D. Young’s model rural school, f saw two Anna’s—Bag- nall and Lenington—busily teaching. From what I observed, they were very good teachers. .V news])aper took shape in the smoke and two headlines caught my eye. They were: “John Vergis, most eminent cartoonist of the day” and “Bob Denman has signed with the Cubs.” Anna Denman was singing before a vast audience, accompanied by Theresa IShaver at the piano. An airplane came into view. Beside it was Harriette Harrison and I learned that she had soloed after one hour under an instructor. Connie Mahon was feeding chickens and evidently from the rings that were on her hand, was married. I saw Glen Brewer playing in the international ship meet. tennis champion- Gerald Clapper was connected with aii opera house. He was an usher. o I saw Phyllis Vanatta teacliiiio-. I think it was En ' lisli in a hi«ii school. Bee Smailes was doing a comedy act on the stage. Behind an office door L saw Alfred Partridge working on plans for a building. He seemed to ])e a very prominent architect. Mary Myers was a secretary for the Connecticut Life Insni ' ance Company. Edith Parsall was rimning a Carnegie Library in Chicago, having spent so much time in the library at school. Madaliii Gage was living in Norwich, working as bookkeeper in a hardware store. Helen Shnbert was at that time champion typist of the world. Catherine Conklin was working in a creamery. Miss Conklin found her position ideal as plenty of butter was made for her popcorn. I saw a group of people helloing Josephine Moat celebrate her wooden wedding. From all appearances everyone was having an en¬ joyable time. Edward Hartman was settled down at Cochecton with his wife, the former Beatrice Jensen. He specialized in chickens. Wilson Plankenhorn, like his father, had been awarded a degree of Master Farmer and was also a member of the Farm Board. I saw Tenney addressing the Home Bureau. His subject was, “Valuable Recipes to Use More Eggs.” Meade was manager on the estate of the Turkish Ambassador. I assumed that it was linked in some manner with his belief in harems. Murphy had a farm. He specialized in pure bred black Jerseys and was Commissioner of Agriculture for the State of New York as a side line. Then a queer thing happened. That famous painting, “The Man With the Hoe,” arose in the smoke and on peering more at it I recog¬ nized Wilmarth Wilbur as the man with the hoe. Edgar Allen was sitting by the corner of the building, asleep. 1 remembered having heard that he was night watchman on the new school building. Donald Ostrander was business manager of a New York daily paper, probably through experience gained as manager of “Fidelitas.” Seager Fairbairn was a fish and game expert for the New York State Conservation Commission. Birdsall was receiving a cup as winner of the harmonica con¬ test in the Olympic Games. 1932 o I saw a ‘May-(ie( Poultry Farm,” and recognized George IMitt at work among the hens. 1 am sure that his location in Spring Valley is ideal. When Panl P enton came into view, I recognized immediately two characteristics of a great man. There was no mistaking that “IMickey” lias Lincoln’s height and siihdinrns. lie also was running a farm. A heantifnl building took shape in the smoke and immediately I knew it was the new building, construction of which was started in 19d2. Over the door J saw the date 1950. The smoke faded away; the tire flickered fitfully and went out. 1 nibbed my eyes as one would who has been dreaming. The negro mammy muttered, “Kain’t conjah no moah. Ah done hab con.jahed all I kin.” I thanked her for the things she had shown me and was on mv wav. • % once more M. F.

We sincerely hope they will cai’ry on the work as well as we have.

Nicoll, secretary, Board of Visitors, and Stanley Morley, executors of this will and testa¬ ment, in the construction of which it will readily be perceived that no professional character has been consulted or has had any agency in the draught. But having endeavored to be plain and explicit in all the Devises, we hope and trust that no disputes will arise concerning them. In witness of all and of each of the things herein contained, we have set onr hand and seal, this 7th day of April, in the year one thousand nine hundred thirty-two and in the year of the Independence of the United States, one hundred and fifty-six.

Another plan different from former years was that the first three numbers were devoted to special departments; first was the An¬ imal Hiisbanary number, featuring things of particular interest in that department and trips taken by the students; second, the Adiniii’ istration, and third the Poultry—these in turn featuring news of es¬ pecial interest to their respective departments. The March number was of general interest to all, as was a later spring number. The staff hopes that all who have read the paper have enjoyed it and that those who are returning another year will take greater in terest than ever in an attempt to make the “Oracle” a newsy, interest¬ ing publication. 1932 o COT NTRY LIFE CLUB All students beloii,i ' to Country Lite Club. Twice a iiionth pro¬ grams are prepared and given under tlie direction of officers of the club.

October 31—First program Hallowe’en night was instilled with all the weird atmosphere of the occasion and was followed by a short dance, after which all departed. November 13—The Country Life gave an Armistice Day program of patriotic readings by members of the Ag. School and Training Class, followed by songs and a most interesting and inspiring talk by Mr. Eveiiden. December 4—The third program of Country Life was given in the form of three short plays, “Selling Stocks,” “The Lights lYent Out” and “The Taxi Driver,” parts being taken by members of the Train¬ ing Class. This was followed by a lesson in scpiare dancing, for be¬ ginners. December 17—A Christmas play, “The Birds’ Christmas Carol,” ' was given by members of the Training Class and coached by Mrs. Thomson. Santa Claus and his famous reindeer Blitzen created much merriment. Though Blitzen has been bringing Santa on his back for years past he still maintains his youthful spirits and a fiery gleam in his eye. January 7—A. radio program was given by members of the Ag. School who gave a harmonica contest and piano recital, and by mem¬ bers of the Training Class, who presented other interesting sketches. February 11—A Valentine program, consisting of readings of Valentine’s Daj , some songs, and comic skits, was given by the Ag. School and Training Class and the program was brought to an end by games which added to the Valentine atmosphere. February 25 —Another pleasant evening was spent, when a pro¬ gram honoring George Washington was presented. Marcli 31 — of the Seniors. The faculty entertained th(‘ Country Ihfe Clnl) in honor DANCES P roni the hook, “Colonial Tri •inia and Its Peo])le,” we learn there is ahnndant evidence that dancing ' was by far the most generally popular amusement in the colony. Wherever there Avas “company there was dancing. Everybody danced. This delightful pastime has been ( ' specially popular in D. A. S. this year, due in a measure, undoubtedly, to the fact that a number of the boys under the leadership of Mr. Eichai ' dson formed an orchestra and never said no to requests for dance music. The Alumni, Seniors, Juniors and Freshmen have sponsored very enjoyable dancing parties this year which have always proved to be social if not financial successes. Shel Edgerton’s orchestra of Delhi and the Blue Blazers from Binghamton furnished the music for these dan ces. HOEN AND HOOF CLUB I have, for some time past, hoped that a club for Animal Hus¬ bandry students might be started in our school, but not until this year of 1931-32 was there an opportunity. This club was started at the beginning of the school A ear and has V ' CT’ V been going and growing ever since. 1 trust it Avill be carried on through the years to come, proving both entertaining and helpful to the future Aggies. This club was founded by Lawrence O. Taylor, instructor of Ani¬ mal Husbandry. It was voted at the first meeting to hold the club the first and third Tuesday nights of every month; the first night to have talks by dif¬ ferent club members or a speaker experienced in xVnimal Husbandry; on the third night to have refreshments and a social time. The initiation, which was composed and drawn up by Donald Ostrander, added very much to the club. xV set of by-laws and a con¬ stitution, which every club member has to obey and be loyal to, Avere draAvn up by LaAvrence Taylor and Donald Ostrander. As a member of this club, I can say that it is a clean and Avhole- some organization and a A ery good place for a student, aaTio Avants to get all he can out of his school life, to spend his time. I most sin- cereh and deAmntly Avish, that no one aauH miss this opportunitAx D. 0., ’32. ’ 1932 ORCHESTRA o ()K(MIESTKA 1 liavo lal( ' lv made a tour throimh our coiiservatorv of music. I O « found Miss Laura Gay Smith beating- time with her musical wand. The group that she was instructing I was informed was the orchestra of D. A. S. It coiisisted of ten members, all very talented on the in- strnnients with which they performed. My first discovery of them was one bright Tuesday morning in the auditorium of the D. S. Build¬ ing. Here they were laboring very conscientiously with the thought in their minds of doing their best for D. A. S. This same pocedure continued on throughout the year, every Tuesday morning thereafter. They have done excellent playing on assembly mornings, and one of the mornings gave a very good musical pi ' ogram which was enjoyed by all. I was also told that four of the musicians will he with D. A. S. next year. Whatever may be the future of this orchestra will be due to the tactful training of Miss Smith. D. A. 0., ■ ' 32. Leader —Lauka Gay Sxiitb.

ComiiiaiKler-in-cliiof Tay¬ lor, leariiiiii - that General Field had been drillini - liis men at Hobart, decided to make an attack at that ])lace. Under Captain .Vnderson tlie company of almost untrained farmer boys, known as the Vi i ' ies, some of whom bad never borne arms (a basketball) before in com¬ pany with these others, .gallantly resisted the enemy, but were finally forced to retreat to Delhi. The effect of this first reg-nlar battle was not litter defeat for it served to enconrai ;e and intensify the deter¬ mination to fii -ht. Nov. 21—The rej ' nlars were attacked by some troops who had left the ])atriot side some time before. Training ' showed to advantage and though the regulars had to make some concessions to this com- ])any, their sj irit was not broken. Dec. 15—This time Commander-in-Chief Taylor had planned to attack a little to the northeast of Hobart, at a place called Stamford. The effect was practically the same as at Hobart. Dec. 16-—Falling back a little and marching southeast another company of the enemy was met at Grand Gorge. This attack was a little more successful in that, though Grand Gorge was victorious, the casualties were not so great. Dec. 18—Ketnrning to Delhi, the Commander and his men rested one day and then journeyed southwest to Deposit where, worn out by the previous combats and long marches, they were forced into a retreat ■with even greater losses than before. January 6, 1932—Deeming it wise to give the men a rest and more fraining, the Commander retreated to Delhi. Here on January sixth .an enemy known as the Cubs attacked the Aggies. In defending their own ground the latter seemed stronger than when attacking an enemy camp. This time the enemy were completely put to rout. Jan. 9—Hardly had the smoke of the battle with the Cubs died nway, ere another division of the enemy called the Alfred Company appeared from the west. A hard and close engagement took place and though the Alfred Company went back to the west, they took many spoils of battle. Jan. 13—A few days of quiet ensued and then the Lake Delaware, a small troop ot the enemy force ' , followed the river west and then north, came to the .Vy ies’ stronghold and dnriny the evening ' tried to take the patriots by snr])ris( ' . rnsnccessfnl in the atte ' inpt, thoni h an i ' i ie had joined them, tin ' Lake Delaware soldic ' rs were pnt to flight and retreated to their former cam]). dan. l(j—Enconra,i -ed ])y this victory. Commander Taylor de¬ cided to invade a hostile cam]) many miles to the northwest. The A.yt ' ies entered the Morrisville cam]) and for a very short time the outcome seemed nncertain. However, with the fall of Ca])tain .Vnder- son, the Vggies were pushed back and overcome by the greater force and number of their o])])onents. Jan. 21—A second gi ' on]) of ex-])atriots—men who had not liked the system nor extensiveness of the training advocated by the Com¬ mander—sought to overcome the Aggies. Defending not oidy their stronghold and honor but the ideals of their beloved CommaiKler, the Patriots fonght calmly, snrehg forcefully and pushed the Cigarette Five from the Aggie camp. Jan. 29—A picked band from the Cobleskill Com])any swept down from the northeast and taking the ])atri ots by surprise overcame them. Jan. 30—The next day, after the men had returned to the home camp, news came that a powerful enemy company had encamped at Ijiberty. Thinking to wai ' d oft danger from the south, the commander immediately started the men toward the point of the enemy encamp¬ ment and late in the evening an attack was made. At first it was thought the Aggies wonld be successful here. The} ])nt np a good fight but were finally forced to retreat. (Later some other forces from the snrroimding territory overcame this team in several engagements not a part of this campaign, however.) Feb. 9—That company of the enemy known as Stamford planned a return attack on the Aggies and the latter sntfered somewhat. Feb. 11—Two nights after the Stamford attack, the commander of the Aggies and a small force marched against the Cobleskill camp, bnt were repulsed. Feb. 17—An attack was made on Treadwell and again the patriots met defeat. Feb. 27—A strong force from Morrisville came to the Aggie camp and left with the spoils of war. 1932 March 10—Tlie nearest cani]) of the (niemy, tlie Delaware Aca- (lemians, Avas attacked. The battle was waged fiercely for forty min- ntes. Oiir men inarched right through the enemy, taking ten to their two during the first ten minutes. Then over-confidence proved their undoing. The Delawares had them on the run but during the last ten minutes the patriots swung tlieir line around and seemed to be making headway, but their swing was too late. ' Fhe battle went to the enemy. ] Iarch 12—Since the assault upon our camp by the Alfred com¬ pany, feeling had been running high that if Ave might make a surprise attack on that diAusion in its OAvn territory, Ave could gain a decisiAX ' victory. Accordingly at daAvn Commander Taylor and his lieuten¬ ants started A dth the men on the march toAvard the Avest. Just after dusk the patriots laid siege to the Alfred stronghold and the defenders Avere soon forced by the severe bombardment to evacuate. This auc- tory settled the camiiaign. Though many battles had been lost, the campaign for loyalty and sportsmanshi]) had been successful. 1332 OVEK THE NET For some years past, tennis has been gaining in popularity at the school. This year those interested from the Training Class ])laye(l during September and the early part of ()ctol)er. Glen Brewer de¬ feated all his opponents. As soon as the Aggies arrived fourteen boys signed up and Eobert Leighton, a newcomer to the school, was the final victor in this group. Playing a fast, snappy game, Brewer defeated Leighton and was recognized as the champion for the year 1931-1932. A “D” for tenuis, awarded by the Athletic Council, was his reward. BARNYAED GOLF Among the early colonists a game that gave much amusement was the pitching of quoits. Years have dimmed none of this amusement. Mr. Lyon organized a contest the early part of (Ictober, using the same method as that employed at the State Fair. Each contestant pitched fifty shoes, the five highest pitching in the finals. Of the twenty-six to enter the contest, Coddington, Tweedie, Hoyt, Clark and Meade survived and finished the finals in the order named. Coddington, the winner, had the distinction of pitching the highest number of ringers in a single game, having pitched nine. SUMMARY OF FINALS Name Coddington Tweedie . . Hovt . Clark .. . .

The savings of the average man are not large enough to admit of immediate employment in stocks, bonds or mortgages. But when his small sums are deposited in a savings account and augmented with other savings, they are enabled to find profitable employment. Immediately with his deposit the small saver gains a new source of income, and his small savings become investment capital. THE DELAWARE NATIONAL BANK DELHI, NEW YORK HOME OF SECURITY” P. B.

ARBUCKLE GOOD PLUMBING IN FARM HOMES Not so many years ago plumbing was considered a rare luxury both in the city and the country. But this is an era of unusual achievement in the development of home furnishing and equipment In keeping with the progress exemplified by the adoption of better lighting ideas, improved heating systems, vacuum clean¬ ers, electrical conveniences and numerous other household utilities. The difficulties that stood in the way of the development of better plumbing equipment in farm homes have been steadily removed by manufacturing progress and better installing facilities. Now every farm family has, desires, or can easily secure, modern fix¬ tures for the bathroom, the kitchen and the laundry. We have followed this progress with increased shop facilities and more efficient plumbers and are in a position to give installation service that is modern and careful, assuring satisfactory and sanitary plumbing equipment.

NEW YORK STATE SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE AT DELHI To the boy who wants to be a farmer, the State School of Agriculture at Delhi offers an excellent opportunity for a technical education at low cost. During the past year 40 per cent of the boys enrolled earned all or a large part of their expenses, by work at the school or in the village. The Delhi school is situated in the foothills of the Catskills, in the leading dairy county of New York State. The first class was enrolled in the fall of 1915. That the school fills a real need for vocational instruction in agriculture and teacher training is evinced by the increasing number of students attending each year: from only 29 in the first year to an enrollment of 125 in 1931. Of all the graduates from the agricultural course at Delhi, 50 per cent are engaged in actual farming, while 25 per cent are in allied occupations, such as milk plant managing, dairy inspecting and acting as farm managers. VOCATIONAL TRAINING IN FARMING IS MORE IMPORTANT TO-DAY THAN IN FORMER YEARS Education Is Capital — Accumulate It Now Three Year Course in Agriculture Special Course in Dairy Inspection and Dairy Bacteriology Home Correspondence Courses in Agriculture One Year Commercial and Dairy Laboratory Course for Girls One Year Rural Teachers’ Course V r 4- i .
