THE GLEAN ER 15 I walked down the State Road, feeling rather joyous that all had not ended that Way, but when I remembered that it was 2 a. m. and that I had to get up for details at 5 a. m. I quickened my gait and forgot all. IEZZ of glass 29153 GEORGE WOLF Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:-It seems both fitting and proper that We, the class of 1919 for- seeing that our stay at this National Farm School is nearing its end and being aware of the uncertainty of life should leave behind in parting certain properties and thoughts hitherto possessed by us, to certain of our suc- cessors, to be designated from among those Who Were With us thru our three years, and who remain here when We leave, namely, the Faculty and undergraduates of the above stated institution the National Farm School. So sayeth the prophets, Unto him who hath shall be given, but unto him who hathened even that which he hathened shall be taken. Deprived of Wealth We leave no riches. Not being wise We leave no Wisdom. Being homely in features We leave no secrets of beauty. But to show our appreciation of and our sympathy for the above mentioned, namely, the Faculty and un- dergraduates, do We the class of 1919 under seal, au- thorize this our last will and testament. Unto our Director Mr. Cstrolenk We leave a va- cancy for a freshman class among Whom it is our hope, may he proudly point one specimen with the rudiments of a once possessed brain and other marvelous accomplish- ments 'as exemplified in the personage of one Leo Ackerman. Therefore they will not make him nervous on Monday mornings. To Mr. Allman, Whose genius has arisen to the great task of disturbing the peace and quiet of Segal Hall by organizing a Glee Club, We leave' a piece of antique furniture which ha.s appeared before such great talented artists as Caruso, Tetrazini. Harwvitz and Doc Miller M. W. and which needs' the further dis- tinction of a place in Memorial Hall to make it price- lessg namely, our victrola, 9

' THE GLEANER While purchasing ni yticket to return to the Windy City, I heard a loud, rmnbling sound, which resembled a train making ready to leave the station. Not. relishing a long wait, I rushed unto the platform, only to find that the rumbling issued from the vocal organs of the train announcer. To imagine that so much noise could come fro inhuman throat was almost unbelievable. But my thoughts drifted for a while and I pictured Chapel services at Farm School. I could hear Prof. Ostrolenk announce the number of the hymn and then I saw the assemblage rise. Immediately the professors pleasant features changed to a worried look. In contrasting the chapel incident with the man nearby, I concluded that it was none other than Rabinowitz as he had always been the centre of the chapel uproars. My train was due to leave in a few minutes so I had no time to speak to hiu1. ' I seated myself comfortably in the train and then my thoughts seemed to linger constantly on the won- derful successes of some of my former classmates. While in deep reverie, a screetchy, wierd sort of a voice, seemed to reach me from the further end of the car. As the voice came nearer I could distinguish what it was try- ing to say. Get your cigarettes, candy and chewing gum and the latest song, with a Butte-ful tune, Farm School Melody. I fairly jumped out of seat for it surely was Wm. Greenberg, I had almost reached him when the train suddenly swerved. We were just crossing the Delaware River and the engineer must have lost control, for I was thrown from my feet and in a half conscious mood, I could hear the cars rip through the iron girders and splash into the icy waters below. I then lost conscious- ness and upon awakening my sensations were varied. I seemed to be plunging down the icy depths of water. Suddenly my downward career was abruptly checked. My shoulder seemed held down by some huge weight. Thru dim consciousness I heard a stentorian voice be- low, Say, young fellow, Doylestown is our last stop. ' I gazed 'round in wonderment and when my eye fell upon the conductor, who had been vainly trying to awake me from my slumbers, I realized that I had just returned from Philadelphia after a wild time at the Autornat and that I was in the Metropolis of Bucks county and not the icy waters of the Delaware,

THE GLEANER To Mr. Marcovitch, who after diligent research work and perserverance. dicovered that it was the bacillus sleep that affected his chapel sermons, we leave a speedometer. Hereafter he may avoid walking fifteen miles instad of ten as the number prescribed by Fletcher necessary to raise an appetite for breakfast. l'nto Dr. Massinger whose related experiences in- variably lead to the hair raising death of his animal pa- tients we leave the following concoction: l lb. nitro-glycerine. 10 tablets bichloride of mercury. 5 gr. chloroform. 6 c. c. byroligneous acid. 1 drop N. F. S. eat or coffee. To be given internally to all his animal patients in tablespoon doses every hour until the hide raises with the hair To Mr. Toor our eminent poultryman, who finds that the only obstacle between chicken raising and profits, is the feed bill. We leave a certain dead hen to be found under the brooder. After careful investigation we came to the conclu- sion that she will lay the longest without feed. Unto our matrons we leave heartfelt thanks for their devotion in their duties towards our welfare. To Mr. Harmon Craft whose theory, that Football affects the N. F. S. student directly as the magnetic strength of the bed at detail time and inversely as the square of the distance between it and the Director, has revolutionized the football spirit. Therefore we bestow upon him the honor of coaching the '1919 football team with the hope that he will imbue the noble youths who are fortunate enough to be at the Main Barn with the proper football spirit and give them full knowledge of the possibility of his theory. Unto Mr. Howard Young who has gained wide world fame in priving his renowned theiry, Leverage will win the war, yet failed to show the relation be- tween rotation and calculation, therefore living on his reputation, we leave an intellectual freshman who will explicitly understand his orders. To one, Touf Caliasj Ibnatz, who shows nothing above this neckj but everything below including his purple socks, we leave a pair of Segal's trousers. Unto one noble and modest youth na1I1'Cd Abe Katz,
