Gleaner witness. When we were brought before the Judge and asked our names, I promptly told mine and then the other two told theirs: all of a sudden we rushed together, shook hands and slapped each other on the back, for the Judge was none other than Lanky Sny- der, while the cop turned out to be Gor- don and the Socialist, Moe Grossneld. I told them of the coming reunion and they promised to attend. Snyder told me that Kaplan was on the Mounted Force and still had his horse Mort. Snyder promised to bring him along. After this stirring incident I went to a hotel. I was given a room and was about to enter the elevator when Horwitz came rushing up to me and almost shook my hand off, he told me that he was just made manager of the hotel after a sen- sational rise on the elevator. From him I learned that Fishstein, Davis, and Pes- kin were in the egg business. They ac- quired their eggs in a very cheap and funny way. They would get booked by a local vaudeville house for an act. Fishstein would go out on the stage and begin talking. He kept talking and talk- ing until the people were ready to kill him. Then Peskin would walk down one aisle and Davis the other, selling eggs at two dollars a dozen. The people bought them readily and began throw- ing. As the stage was padded all around very few eggs were broken, so they made quite a bit on their scheme. I told him about the reunion and he promised to attend and also to tell the three egg men about it. It was impossible for me to visit some of the fellows, so I wrote them letters. I wrote to Klein and Brown, Inc., who had the largest greenhouses in the Middle West. John Asch was still over in Ger- many studying small fruit culture, so I wrote him. I also wrote to Katz and Sheer, the large orchard men. As I was writing the last letter, two big butter and egg men from the West came into the hotel. Horwitz also rushed to these two and brought Kisber and Simons over. They were going to meet Taylor and Doremus, the ranchers, that afternoon. I acquainted them with the plans of the banquet and after se- curing their promise to attend, I found that I was needed back in California at once, because one of my patrons had a double chin that could not be removedg so I bade farewell to my friends and promised to see them at the reunion. 0291010101021 3034 ioinioioioioiav1o1o14n14x1fm11r1o24i:o:fv:o14v:aigfI11 riozoinioi .:, U i U Qalutatnr 5 ! tContinued from pageg Q ! After thus securing the comfort and conveniences of the student l ! body, the Building Committee bent their endeavors toward proper hous- l ing for our cattle.

There can be no doubt that this wonderful I I institution will continue to grow and perfect itself until its graduates i will be sought after in all the branches of Agriculture. i i To accomplish the results obtained by this institution is a stupen- : dous task which only one who has gone through the mill can appreciate. 2 Q We feel the futility of expressing our gratitude to those who have !

Eleaner Stuhent Qlluuntil impart Come on, Kid Kollegiate, tack on your earphones 'cause Station C-O-U-N-C-I-L is now broadcasting, Daddy Joe as the official announcer. Yea BO. The first spasm on today's program will be a talk by Hans Full on the Hops at N. F. S. during 1925. Ladies and whosoever may be in your presence. During the past year the stu- dent Council threw some mighty mean shin digs. All the old stunts and a flock of new ones were used to put them over. And the females, shades of Venus. We had a larger assortment of colors, sizes, shapes and types than did King Solomon back in ye olde days. The outstanding struggle of the year was the May Hop-Quite a crew of Janes were out, the music was four times better than good, and as for re- freshments-OHI BOY! Don't think that this was the only scrimmage of the year. No, a thousand times no. Just listen to the following and be enlightened. The first dance of the year was in the windy month of March. 'Twas a kind of Welcome to the Mutts. After this, as has already been stated, came the May hop, followed by a Ritzy affair on July 4th, and lest ye forget, quite a few of the alumni were out over the Fourth and Fifth. What about the Hallowe'en dance? Well, Kiddo-we had spooks, witches, 'n everything else that go to make a Hal- lowe'en dance the Hot Tamale. Now the Basketball Hop, which dribbled around on January 16th, panned out as one of the shining lights of the year. Now dear listeners, my time is up, so I'll give way and clear the fioor famid applause of courseb for the next speaker. Frank Futer now talking. Well, folks, the Council had its fists in three banquets thus far. First came the Freshman Banquet, which was given as a welcome to the incoming Mutts. It was a keen affair with a menu befitting a king. The entertainment was spicy and full of PEP. Following close upon the heels of this came the Alumni Ban- quiet. It was a winner from start to finish. Next in line was the Football Victory Banquet. And if it was a fail- ure, well, so is your old man. Boy, it was sure some nifty spread. At this banquet tokens were given to the worthy football players, as well as praise, which they rightly deserved. Hold your horses, your Uncle Dudley isn't finished yet. A new banquet is being introduced this year, namely, 'The Election Banquet I' All student body offi- cers will be elected at this time. If it's one-tenth as good as the past banquets, it'll sure be a mean success. Now, folks, I'll end my part of the program by warloling that well-known song entitled, 'When It's Moonlight on the Pluto VVa- ters, I'll Come Running Home to You.' You have heard a lot about the council but you haven't heard all. First, I'll tell of the picnic. The faculty gave the entire student body the day off. No, it did not break their hearts 'cause they have been mighty good to us all through the year. And I wish to thank them in behalf of the Student Council for their co-operation. Oh! you want to hear about the picnic. Well, we played games, and had just oodles of fun. The feed was the good old picnic type, and everyone had a good time. The Student Council also conducted a trip to the Walker Gordon Farms. Those who made the trip had a chance to look over one of the most up-to-date dairy farms in the country. The overseer was very accommodating. He explained how the plant was operated, then showed us all around the cow barns, hay barns, dairy plant, etc. The trip was educa- tional and interesting. During the Christmas holidays a chess tournament was conducted by the Stu- dent Council. It was run according to rules, and proved to be a huge success. The Student Council also took part in several other minor social affairs, but time is limited, so I'll cut my act short. If any of my listeners happen to discover what makes the Tower of Pisa lean, let me know, as I wish to take some myself. Well, folks, you have heard all the speakers. We take this opportunity to wish the next year's Student Council all the luck in the world and sincerely hope they make a rip-roaring success. Station C-O-U-N-C-I-L, of The Na- tional Farm School, now signing off. Good-NIGHT. PAGE TNYl2N'l'Y-NINE
