Junior Year-Assistant Manager Baseball Team: Manager of Class Baseball. Senior Year-Manager of Baseball: Varsity Club. Yonk, the answer to a maiden's dream, comes to us from the wilds of New Jersey.

Qleaner Glu the Qllass nf 1926 BERNHARD OSTROLENK gg HY do you wish to come to the National Farm School? is the query put to every candidate for admission to the School. To become a farmer, is the answer that is mostly given. It is a clear-cut question and a clear-cut answer. To- gether, they best define the object of the school. It is hoped that if the same ques- tion were asked the graduating class, ex- cept placed in the past tense, for ex- ample, Why did you come to the Na- tional Farm School? the answer today would be as clear cut, and even of fuller conviction, than it was three years ago. Nearness to and better knowledge of a subject has the trick of beclouding an issue, of putting a great many ifs in the proposition, of weakening the con- victions. Only he, who originally ar- rived with the conviction that he wanted to be a farmer, is likely to be confirmed after thorough preparation in his chosen field. Weaker men have discovered weaknesses in their work and are be- ginning to magnify them. The stronger men properly appraise the obstacles, but clearly see the goal. And what is the goal? To be a farmer is no small goal to set for one's self. To be sure, it does not glitter as much as the hazy imagery of the conquering hero in industry or politicsg a dream goal, formless of path or final achieve- ment. To be a farmer demands a den- nite path towards an attainable end. On the path discipline in thrift, and train- ing for management are the outstand- ing demands. Thrift, savings, accumulation of some capital are primary shibboleths to be admitted to the group who may try at all. A Farm School graduate can not hope to attain his goal of owning a farm without some capital. He must start his savings account the day he leaves the school. He graduates from the appren- tice-farmer stage to the farm-owner stage when he can show a respectable saving account to justify the extensions of credit to him that make a farm pur- chase possible. This savings account, while an index of a man's discipline, is attainable by the average Farm School graduate. A three or four-year appren- ticeship as a herdsman or poultryman or farm assistant on some farm, accom- panied by a systematic savings, is likely to bring the graduate within visible means of a farm. Needless to say, the three-year apprenticeship should also prove an excellent preliminary training for managership. It is to be hoped that on the day of graduation the class sees the goal of becoming a farmer with the enthusiasm that caused them to embark on this career. The independence, the perma- nence, the variety of work, the respon- sibility of decision, the life out of doors, a home and its rewards, both cash and otherwise, are stimuli that have formerly sent Farm School graduates into the world to their chosen goal, singing. To perceive and achieve this goal is the parting wish of the Director to the Class of 1926. g PAGE SEVEN

Nate, who hails from our capitol city. is a boy we can never forget. His laugh will always remain with us to bring back memories of the good old Farm School days. As a handsome looker and a swell dancer he takes the top step. We feel free to say this because we know that conceit is not in his make-up. He was a conscientious worker, for he surely made an excellent greenhouse monitor in the past year. We are certain you will make a good showing in this world of ours. Best of luck, old top.
