What was iirst a coniined European War was now, in truth, a world conflict, the grip of Mars having drawn every nation of the unl- verse to one side or the other. For the last ten years We had been slowly driving the Germans back inch by inch through their own territory simply by dint of milltary force and superior man power The popular conception that Germany would in time have to submit to defeat because of lack of food and internal re volt had long ago been proven a fallacy , Twelve years ago I enhsted in the 730th regiment, Pennsyl- vania Infantry.

I I I THE CLEANER 15 zvesentatisn of jjfjoe ' T Jose h Levitch, President D Twenty-one years ago, the people of this country incredu- lously saw the foundations being laid for a school, such as which few men had ever seen or dreamed of. That it yas estab- lished to teach agriculture was clear enough, but to the skepti- cal amazement of the doubters, it purposed to instruct its stu- dents in the practical as well as theoretical phase of the pro- fession, and, as a climax, its students were to be composed, almost wholly, of a race, which for centuries- had been away from the soil. The fundament- al truth of Dr. Krauskopf's aims have since been made evident. Today they are acknowledged facts. T his transformation from wavering doubt to firm belief, has been due in no small meas- ure to the diligence of its stu- dents during their stay at the school, and after they have left it . to utilize their acquired knowledge and power. As a symbol of this quality of indus- try, the Hoe was chosen by the firstgraduating class in 1901. It has been painted Green and Gold-fitting colors. They are truly representative of our life, our profession, and our Alma Mater. Green e the glory- of the Springtime. Spring - the verdant season that bud and bloom brings forth With green hath clad the hill -So the poet singsg and so in- deed, doth green symbolize that glorious season and just as tru- ly doth it recall youth, the spring of our individual lives and of the life of our School. Gold represents harvest, the season of mists and mellow fruitfulnessf' It marks the ma- turifty of our lives, when we shall reap as wfe have sowed, and of the life of our Alma Mater, the time, fast aproaching, when it can look back to a long and hon- ored list of graduates, all striv- ing mightily to uphold and ex- alt her fair name. Ladies and gentlemen, for the past nineteen years the passing of this symbolic Hoe from the trust of one class to the keeping of another, has been a mark of the transition of the class from the joyous student days to those of future strife. Each gradu- ating Class has transmitted it to the following Seniors as their recognition of the new leaders in student thought and life. I, therefore, as Presid'ent of the Graduating Class of 1918, pass on to you, Mr. Mannes, as President of the coming Seniors of the National Farm School, this Hoe , as it is passed on to me by the Class of 1917 one year ago. , With the deliverance of this Hoe, the regime of the Nineteen Eighteen 'Class is at an end. We leave in your hands the duty of fostering the Farm School traditions and activities. Ac- cept our hearty congratulations and our earnest hopes that the coming year will be a most suc- cessful and promising one for the Classes of '19 and '20.

' through the numerous casual- ties that occurred among the officers, I had slowly risen from the ranks to the grade of Cap- - tain. Our regiment had been in the front line trenches for two months, which W-as already far over the time alloted to nrst-line soldiers. On this particular night - which shall long re- main in my memory -- we received orders to attack the opposing Teuton trenches. we rushed furiously onto the Huns, who were completely surprised. After a few D moments of fierce fighting, when victory seemed to be in our grasp, I suddenly heard a sharp report, felt a burning pain in my right arm, and lost con- sciousness. When I awoke. .I was dazzled by a glistening whiteness, which seemed to surround me on every side. It was only after several minutes, when a nurse appeared at my bedside, that I realized that I was in a hospital. My stay here was comparatively short, as my wound had necessi- tated an amputation. Being un- fit for further service, I was hon- orably discharged, and under-
