XVECHSLER Jlcmlners of the Board and Faculty, Friends and Fellow Students: It has been customary in past years for Commencement speakers to talk of their achievements, of what they have accomplished and gained, and of the school's progress while they were students. Although We still have some of the original ideals with which we came here, we have not kept that former attitude that, upon graduation, we would go out and immediately conquer the world. We have learned here in the past few years some of the fundamental requirements of agriculture, and of a farmer's life: but. as yet, we are far from being perfect in that profession. .Xt present, there is a great deal of talk about the coming prosperous days for agriculture. Great economists predict brighter days, and they are in all probability right. But, judging from the present condition of the farmer. and the attitude of the people in general towards agriculture, those happy days in farming have not yet arrived. .Xecording to all this, we should be leaving our Almer Mater dis- couraged with our chosen work. On the contrary, we can take an opti- mistic view of all this. because there is still left an open field with a vast amount of room for improvement, for, although it is still the oldest pro- fession known to mankind, it is the one to which science has been least applied. During our stay here, we have been prepared for the coming contact with the world, not only in the ways of agriculture, which We all have acquired with varying degrees of success, but also in the ways of practical experience, which will enable us to cope with all other problems outside of our scholastic career, concerning our fellow men. lt is only in a school of this type that one can gain this wisdom, for in other institutions one can only get this knowledge by coming in contact with the different problems of life after graduation. Here. they are brought to us when still in our undergraduate state, and we are left mainly on our own resources, to contend with them. .X nd so today I greet you to these exercises, not as one who has already sm-f-f-1-elf-fl, and is satisfied that he has made good, because he who has already H.f'lllf'X'f!fl sur-r-ess has nothing more to look forward to in life, but 1 welt-oine you as one who has not yet made good. but who still has in his heart all his aspirations and dreams, that yet seem brave and worthwhile. .43 -I ' BCM W 'QR PRESENTATION QE THE HOE SAMUEL PRICE Dlenzbers of the Board, F aculfy, F riencls ancl Fellow Stuclenta' After three years of studying, and learning to love the soil and its products, we are sent out upon our own resources to show the world what we have learned at the school. In the process of transforming the city boy to one of the country, the Farm School has taken on a task of a most difficult kind. To make a young man change his ways of living and practically all his views, is a task that requires time and patience. This, the school has done to our class, and to those who have gone before us. Only about a third of the niunber who entered in the spring of nineteen twenty-four, have withstood the drastic change in habits and manners of living, and are now ready to graduate and become advocates of the soil. We came here fresh from the city, knowing little of farming. But by hard work throughout our three years, we have acquired a knowledge of agriculture and its ways, and have come to love it. VVe are now to test this knowledge which the school has sought to instill in us. We feel confident that we can withstand the tug of the outside world, and we are showing our confidence in our teachers by accepting positions along agricultural lines. VVe are determined to leave our mark in Farm School's Hall of Fame as a one hundred per cent agricultural class, and remain that way for the years to come. This hoe, which has been a symbol of agriculture from early ages, came to us from the preceding class. I now present it to the President of the new Senior Class, hoping that with it, as a symbol of their class and their chosen calling, they will strive to uphold the traditions of agriculture, and become better farmers than those who have gone before them. .mag .1 I 2'KQQ'.9a HKQQFS ' l- aw' , itll y I gl l . , l'.. iMi 1,nr tltlt ' .J I p I, .5 .llllillillllll llllll g lilgll g l iar' ffl, W,,,'iiw J ACK RosEN THAL .lfcnzbers of the Board, Lad ies and Gentlemen and Fellow Students: We have come here today for the last time as students of the National Farm School. It is appropriate at this time to review our past life and activities, and compare them to our present welfare. If you will pardon a personal allusion, I come from the tumultuous land of Russia, where misery has reigned supreme for generations. Schools for youths of our age were closed to the majority, because of economic conditions. Governments changed swiftly, almost overnight. The Revolutionary Government coming into power, would stop a passerby on the street and demand to know his political beliefs. If opposed to the Revolutionary Government, he was made away with quickly. The following day a counter-Revolutionary Government would come into power. Its agents would also halt a pedestrian and demand to know his political ideas. If fpposed. he too was swiftly disposed of. Thus, those of our age were living in a period of suspicion, turmoil, and constant fear of death. They spent their lives in strife with no better prospect of better times, hardly being able to eke out a livable existence. We, graduating from this school at this moment, also have our fears as to our future. but they are not the fears of life or death. In this country we enjoy an indi- vidual frcedoni of which Bolshevik Russia could not boast. Opportunities are open to a boy of average intelligence, ability and industry. Here we can turn our talents into any phase of human endeavor, our activities being only slightly limited by racial and financial differences. The freedom in this country is so impressive, especially to a foreigner who came here only three years ago. Democracy seemed a fine theoryg but for me, it ended in theory. Voniing here to this National Farm School I saw it put into actual prac- tice. llernof-raey, meaning equal opportunity for all, led to the foundation of this school. It is a place where those liorn in the l'nited States as well as those born aliroad f-an eonn- and enjoy the fruits ol' their own labor. It is, Ladies and Gentlemen, not a Xa'ional lfarnn School, but an International l'lZl.I'Ill School. .Xnd now, fienllenien ol' the Board, we, the members ol' the graduating class of nineteen twenty-seven, wish to thank you for your labors, which have enabled the school lo carry on its work. lint we have more to be grateful for than mere labors.

A. of 1924 was the beginning of a notable year. The upperclassmen showed great ability and leadership in teaching us the rudiments of being a freshman at Farm School, fthe bruises and knocks healed in timej. 'With M. M. Cohein as our Senior adviser, we became accustomed to the ways of getting along without causing much unnecessary exertion on the upperclassmen's part. Spring came and with it. the baseball season. Our class was represented by W'iseman and Abelson on the varsity squad. Wie elected BI. TNI. Cohien as our base- ball coach. who faithfully coached us and enabled us to hold the Juniors in the annual interclass game. the score being QQ-Q. The Juniors having practically all varsity men on their team had a great advantage, but the game was played hard to the finish. Our football banquet was an unprecedented success and will long be remembered by everyone. During the football season there were Walters, Pisarev, and Lev on the squad. Despite the fact that we lost our Hrst class-game, we started our football game with renewed vigor. We held the Juniors scoreless in the Hrst half. The second half started and Borushiek of the Juniors picked up a fumble and ran for a touchdown. This started a rally for the -Juniors and the game ended 33-0. lluch credit is due to BI. Goldstein for his ability and untiring efforts as our coach. , II -X mournful occurence marked the opening of our Junior year. Raymond Lev, one of our classmates, passed away on March 9, 1925. A memorial was erected as a tribute to him. His memory will always remain dear to us. Black Doremus was elected as our baseball coach. To our regret and grief We lost our third interclass game to the Freshmen, 16-6. Again our lack of athletic material was evident. Wiseman and Price were on the varsity squad. With the arrival of football season, '27 was well represented by Katz, Cohen, Frieff-ld, Levin. Bar-lunan. and W. Huff. Gordon was elected as our football coach and Friefcld. Vaptaiu. It was the best interclass game ever seen at Farm School and was hard fought. 'lihe game ended I3-U in favor of the Freshmen. tlur last opportunity for getting retaliation came with the basketball season. With Santoria as our t'oach and Hemel as Vaptain we trounced the Freshmen 18-9. flur Junior Prom was thc best that was ever given at Farm School. Everybody who was the-re had the- treat of their lives. lleforc the close- of our Junior yr-ar an llonorary Society was formed known as the Scientific Ilir-ks. 'Ihe or Varsity t'lub was also organized. The Senate was Hlli-fniem-fl by the- Jury.

But I was not thinking of them as they roared by. spewing bundle after bundle. Instead, my mind Was two thousand miles away-east by dead reckoning. How was the dear old Alma Mater gettingalong? How was it progressing? These thoughts were cruising through my head as my valet packed my things and my chauffeur was preparing the lim- ousine for a long journey. The ear swept around and stopped in front of the house. The butler put the luggage in the tonneau. and a.fter a few last-minute instructions I entered and silently we shot out along the road. What? Oh yes, the wife and kiddies were down at the beach enjoying themselves. At a high speed we skirted Kansas City, connecting with the International Highway at Independence, and sped on to the Lincoln Highway. Flanking Cleveland. still keeping to the country, we entered an orchard section so large that it took us all afternoon to get out of it. It suddenly ended and broad, rollingacres dotted with cattle greeted us, then a series of buildings, topped by a sign with the following legend: KATZ AND TUCHMAN DAIRY AND FRUIT GROWERS, INC. Good lord! I exclaimed, What an enormous place. Drive in, James. The long hood of the motor poked its nose through a garland beauty that made my head swim. Flowers, herbs, shrubs of every shade and hue grew along the driveway. I hardly recall the greeting when we stopped, I was so dazed. After our jaws had all but dislocated themselves in chewing the proverbial rag, Isoon had them with me in my ear. We entered that wonderful state of woodland beauty, rolling hills, forests, and winding streams flanked by dreamy dells-Pennsylvania. Vile passed beautiful dwellings enamored in riotous colors of flower beds and gardens, parks with sparkling lakes and lagoons, and Botanical Gardens of Utopian finalities and grandeur. Dazed, I noticed that no longer were the hills and grounds about Pittsburgh black and grimy, but rolling in the beauty of green and colors. Still in its maze of mythical beauty in nature, we came to the homestead where we picked up Leo Sr-hwartz. By the way, his huge Poultry plant is a monument to dear old N. I . S.. to which Leo is grateful with his whole soul. So we sped swiftly eastward, the amazing landscape work making our astonish- ment eomplete. lint when we arrived at Farm Sehool, we all but passed out completely for want of air. fiasping like fish out of water, we reverently and with awe trod the walk that wound among a liotanieal beauty that is indescribable.

Schiff had bought the Hart, Schaffner and Marx, Palm Beach and Goldbergs of Doyles City. Bachman came over with his New Jersey Freshman Wonders to have a game with the Varsity. He has refused bids to coach Princeton, Illinois, Penn and West Point. Of course, the Wonders beat the varsity by a large score. We repaired to LaskerHall, where a bountiful dinner and flowing speech awaited us. In the midst of the carving of the delicious duck, Sam Price of the U. S. Dept. of Engineers in Landscape, arrived. To him goes the honor and everlasting fame for the wonderful work of landscaping in Pennsylvania. Bill Powell, who had amassed a fortune in the New Klondike of Florida, also arrived. A special telegram from Bobby Holloway, of California, was received by Dean Cohn. The missive announced the author,s speedy arrival by a special plane. After a day of glorious fun we were escorted by Iiieut. General Jules Friefeld's New York regulars to Philadelphia and thence to New York. At the Ritz-Carlton we terminated our meeting with a wonderful dinner and speech. After promises of a reunion in the near future we left for our various homes.

Another smoking rule was passed per- mitting all Seniors to smoke pipes on the campus during week-ends. The Horticulture, Veterinary Seienee, and Poultry Clubs were organized.

XYECHSLER, ,27 YVELL KNOXYN soap manufacturer once made the remark, 0 that students should not form clubs, or receive prizes, for their scholastic achievements. From this statement, the Faculty of a well known school dissolved the Honorary Society there, and decided not to award prizes for scholastic work in the future. If this statement is correct, that there should be no incentive for classroom attainments, that students should study for the subject itself g then scholars graduating from school should not receive diplo- mas. XYhy should one student, who has attained high grades be given a prize. in the form of a diploma, in recognition of his work? Why should college graduates, having attained a certain standard, receive degrees? Why should we not a.ll become autornatons, working mechanically, not trying to get ahead, not trying to attain a goal, not trying to receive a reward,-but just for the thing itself ---Altruists? If we acted in accordance with the above, we, while students, would he creating false ideals for ourselves, for when we get out into the world, we do not find people doing things for the good of the thing itself-we all want rewards. After all, we are only human heings and it is only human nature for man to want some reward in recognition of his lahor. .Xny student of psychology would know that. George -lean Nathan, the well-known critic, said, that in the heart of every altruist the largest mirror is to he foundg and I think he is right. livery altruist, every philanthropist, seeks his reward, if it only he in the form of distinction and praise. Therefore, the only conceivable reason for a man making such a statement, for the aholishrnent of thc incentive in scholastic work, is to get himself in the pnhlic eye, hy the nicre foolishness, the very unsonndncss of such an idea. 9 wb pflcljfsl 4:51 32 II1- Amn ' A D E 4 izscoruuss T lk 'N , EEE ,-E, X-Ji ,L f I' I if 1 1 , ' Q 2 ,- Q .5 hr , .

GREEN, 'Q8 Looking Into 'She Future E OFTEX hear boys say, HI feel likeleaving school and going to workf, Why? Perhaps it is on account of an unsatisfactory report, the dislike of a teacher or a hard subject. It may be the desire for more spending money, or a sense of duty to help out at home. Wlhatever be the reason, the boy makes up his mind, consults his friends and the Help Wlanted columns of the newspapers, and usually takes the first position he can get. Frequently this job offers no opportunity for advancement, and affords little practical experience of value. There are thousands who have left school in haste and then regretted at leisure- thousands who have wasted valuable time on a job with big wages at the start-big because there was no future in the work-only uboysn were wanted-and in a few years when the boy is about twenty years old,-he Ends himself without work and any special training, and more or less unfitted to start in and learn a trade, or go back to school and learn a profession. So many people go out into the world with the mistaken notion that they must take the first position offered to them. .They do not realize that they can choose their own careers. YVe have all watched a mother dog train her active little puppies for their real life ahead of them. She plays with them. Little by little the play gets rougher. The training is never tedious, and every four-legged scholar is keen for it. In the exceptional boy there is a call to greatness, a call which thunders in his soul like the awful thunder of the earthquake. It says to him, 'fYou are not what you are or seem. You are moref' They feel they are meant for bigger things, even bigger than have been attempted, and in them there is not only the voice of the past but the call of the FUTURE. To the Graduating Class -the world awaits you. From every field of work comes the cry for Leadership. The world's problems are greater than the men who are dealing with them. Ordinary men can not hope to deal with extraordinary situations. Wiill you rise to the opportunity-will you accept the challenge to become an above-the-averagen man? Then you must be every day the above-the-average young man, for what you are to be, you are now becoming. H. B.

The little party arose from its table in the corner of the room and proceeded to the bar of the Cafe Sans Souci, in the heart of the Underworld of Paris. Three of them appeared to belong to the underworld, but the appearance of the fourth belied his company. The wit and intelligence which manifested itself upon his handsome countenance, the refinement which was displayed in his clothes, his poise and his speech showed him to be a gentleman. He seemed to be far removed from his proper sphere amid the squalor of the underworld. Nevertheless, he was the one in whom so much confidence was placed. He was the trusted Andre. And strangely enough when the party dispersed ,Andre Moreau walked rapidly to the detective agency, took a seat at a desk, and busied himself with some papers. It was the darkest, most uncanny hour of the night that just precedes dawn. By peering intently and long, a small hed. upon which a huddled figure lay, could he discerned in a corner of the room. An old closet rested its worm eaten re- mains in the opposite corner. Beyond these, the room was devoid of adorn- ment, though its shabby walls might well have had shame enough to hide lllf'Tl'lSf'lX'l'S. Suddenly. a low moan issued from the bed: then silence: another moang some confused muttering: a pauseg a heart- rending shriek of agony and abject terror, -LII 34 the igure started from the bed, and rushed wild-eyed to the window as the first gray of dawn appeared above the housetops of Soho Square, the French quarter of London. Gibbering like an idiot and gesticulating wildly, he slowly subsided and sank to the floor, mut- tering incoherently. That day, there appeared at the head- quarters of Scotland Yard, a man who had the appearance of a grief-stricken, persecuted person. Upon closer exam- ination, one could perceive that he was of French origin. His short stature and the mould of his features would tend to classify him as a half-apache. The ghastly expression on his face offset the favorable effects of his clothing. The once handsome features were now drawn, the eyes were sunken, and ingrained terror was written plainly across the mournful countenance. He seated himself in a chair in the chief's office and began his story. My name is Antoine Ribault. I used to live in a respectable section of Paris. I was quite happy with my wife and little daughter until one day I received a mysterious message. I opened it. In an awkward hand was scrawled a message so horrible that, were I a mad man I could not comply with its bidding. The words were followed by or and in place of a signature-my hand trembled as I showed it to my wife-was a horribly lifelike picture of a rat's claw, dripping blood! tif course I went to the police imme- diately. Une day, when I returned home from my little shop, the detective re- marked that he was beginning to think IIC., The GLEANER it was all the prank of some practical joker. The tension was growing less. A sense of laxity seemed to prevail over us after that first excitement had passed. Plf Pk Pk Pk Dk 'Excuse me a moment, dear,' said my wife, 'I just want to see how Jacqueline is.

A shrill screamcame from the next room. I shuddered to think of what I was to' see. We rushed into the room. Miy breath was taken away. I was dazed.

Upon it was scrawled in the same hand, 'You have not obeyed. Be warnedf And again it was signed by the same insidious, disgusting stamp. To complicate matters, no sign of human agency could be found. Not even a footprint, not a clue could be detected. Much as we urged her, Therese re- fused to leave the scene of our daughter's death. We were left unmolested for about a week. Then, one night, while I was sitting alone at the table, the air was split by --- 'Antoinei Antoinel' As I ran into the room, I found Andre already there.

Your turn shall comef It was signed by the same repulsive token, now frought with horrible sig- nificance. Urged by the police,I left Paris, and took up my residence here in Soho Square. I rented a little apartment, the best I could obtain with my much depleted fortune. I lived in a sort of daze as, indeed, I still do. Grief stricken by the death of my beloved wife and daughter, I go about my affairs half-mad. At least until last night, I had been untroubled by that vicious rat. Last night, while I was in a state of semi-consciousness, I saw a dark shadow glide out of the corner. I held my breath. From within the shadow, a spot of red appeared. Gradually, it length- ened and assumed the shape of a rat's claw! It gleamed in the darkness, strangely luminous. I wanted to scream for help but my tongue was glued to my palate. Slowly the claw nodded in my direction like a warning Hnger. I tried to get up but I was held spell-bound. My eyes were popping out of my head. I could not breathe. I felt that in another moment something would snap in my brain. I was paralyzed with fear, unable even to gasp for breath. At last my terror broke its bonds. I shrieked and ran to the window-to be greeted by the welcome sight of the rising sun. A wave of heat passed over me, and I sank slowly to the floor. When I awoke, I could find no trace of what I had seen. I do not know whether it was supernatural or not, nor do I care. After that, I cannot live long. I am a crushed man. That was the last warning. But as my last wish, I want to know that the rat, whatever it may be, will be followed until it is caughtf' Andre Moreau is here, grunted the chief in a gruff voice, it is his case.

The CLEANER Working Up Cl everie FRANK STONITSCH, '28 YIEB haxe I heard of the reveries of a poet: of his musings to the accompaniment of Na- ture's strain. But being of an unimagi- native turn of mind. I thought little of such pleasantries. However, I had always wondered if I could reach that poetical heaven. wherein one's thoughts are raised to great heights by every simple sight. If my surroundings were adapted to this purpose. I reasoned, I might succeed. So it was. that one June day I rambled off to the woods. in the mental guise of a poet, though somewhat skeptical. In truth. I had selected an ideal country for my trial. It abounded in solitary retreats. wild st reams. and solemn forests. In my rambles I had often come upon a hidden glade. There I would lie upon the sward and muse. A poet would have said. that the glade was a haunt of the Xaiads, or of Diana and her train. In such a spot. perhaps, Endymion slept in that peaceful night. But, faugh, how absurd. to picture such things! Slowly I wandered homeward in the gathering dusk just as the copper sun sank in the burnished sky. Nothing daunted, I again sallied forth, to test fortune anew. Slowly I wandered through the verdant woods. The soft earpet of grass was restful to my wearied feet: the forest breathed the quiet pcaccg only a slight breeze rustled in the leafy boughsg from a distance eould be heard faint murmurings of a merry little brook Overhead tl1e swallow drew forth his song and charmed his mate. Amid such scenes did I stroll with light tread, fearful of disturbing the sylvan quiet. And with every step, my mind was succumbing to the magic force of the woods. As I walked, a leaf flittered from a tall oak and floated to my feet. Distractedly I stopped and lifted it. It was fresh with the breath of summer and warm With the caress of the sun. The oak from which it came was a. stately one. How like a noble Greek, it stood, rearing his head high above the common assembly. Truly a poet of the forest, to whose ears the soft, whispering breeze bears the love tales of the Woods. The green leaves are his verses, far more wonderful than those of mortal man, yet disregarded and unnoticed. Combining the beauty of youth with the wisdom of the age, he stands, a mute symbol of the power and majesty of God. Suddenly I was startled from my reverie by the chirping of an impudent squirrel. He seemed to question this unwanted in- trusion into his domain. Slowly then, I retraced my footsteps, marveling at the grandeur of the Father', who had made such a beautiful world. And strange, in the forgetting of my plan, I had succeeded in enjoying a poet's reverie, whiz-h,I discovered was not reserved for poets alone, but for all simple folks. l , s 152525 s gj, J!

N LOOKING over the lists of heroes who have won fame in this world, we End that many of them met their death at the hands of those whose hearts were filled with envy and hatred. Piz- arro, the conqueror of Peru, was assas- sinated in his study, Charles I, of Eng- land was beheaded, Humbert of Italy was shot, Thomas A'Becket, the priest of Canterbury, was stabbed, while Demos- thenes poisoned himself, so that his enemies could not have the chance of doing the same to him. One of the most imposing deaths was that of Nathan Hale. When he was taken by the British as a spy, he was sentenced to be hung. A Bible was denied him, and he was not permitted to write a few loving lines to his sorrowing mother, telling her of the sad fate which awaited him. His spirit never wavered for an instant. When he was about to be swung into space he muttered those everlasting words- I only regret that I have but one life to give to my country.

W. C. High School. As capt.ain of the basketball team, he had ventured within the lines of the enemy, his school's ancient rival, Squedunk High School, to obtain some ideas regarding the most dangerous plays of their team: and now, with the details of his observations still fresh on his mind he could not help but realize that his school would certainly have to put up a terrific battle to break through the enemy's defense. Thus far, he had spent two extremely enjoyable years at high school. His modest nature, generous and manly character, which was evident in every line of his face and in his noble forehead, gained for him the respect of many students, and the admiration of the entire faculty. However, as is the case of many a youth who has carried out a deter- mination to be a credit to his family and school, he had made a few enemies, but these were known generally to be of roughneck type who had grown envious of his achievements in scholastic sports. In f'arl Vampus on the Track, or For the filory of his School, the first volume of this series, we saw how he had obtained the coveted Haglc, the insignia of speed. No less was he successful in Amerie-a's two greatest outdoor sports, as was recorded in f'arl Campus on the Field or Fighting with Grit, and f'arl Campus, Pitcher, or'l'he Boys of D. YY. ff. on the Diamond, in both of which games our hero had risen from the ranks of the second teams and had distinguished himself on the field of battle by sheer determination and pluck. It was through his ability as a natural-born leader that he found himself captain of the D. W. C. five and there was no doubt in the mind of anyone that he could lead his men to victory in the forthcoming game with Squedunk. As he stood there gazing into empty- ness, he became aware of a pair of the most dazzling blue eyes a few feet from him, and waking up out of his reverie, traced them to their owner, an extremely attractive girl with a face so round and fair that his heart went out to her im- mediately. Suddenly, he noticed Larry Hocksure, a disreputable character to all those who knew him intimately, and his most bitter enemy, edging up to the girl, evidently with the idea of forcing his attentions upon her without going through the formalities of an introduction. Now this was something which Campus con- sidered very poor manners and a sign of ill breeding, and he would not have in his circle of friends anyone who stooped so low in dignity and character. It was evident that although the girl tried to pay no attention to Larry's smirking and probably ugly remarks, his presence Was becoming distasteful and extremely annoying to her. So when Carl saw him grasp her arm and hold it despite her efforts to escape, he strode fearlessly forward and seizing the ruffian by the collar, sent him twirling fifteen feet down the street, sprawling at his full length upon 44 Ir, The CLEANER the pavement-having slipped upon a banana peel. He was certainly a lugu- brious sight, and as he arose his dark Visage was anything but pleasant to behold. He evidently had recognized the person who had struck him, for as he advanced with Hsts clenched and eyes darting fire he hissed, Carl Campus, you've interfered with my schemes to much. I,ll teach yuh, and he swung at our hero with all his might and main. But he had reckoned without his host, for in the twinkling of an eye, his head swung upwards and again he went down. from the impact of a fist, which proved only too well, the result of abstinance from tobacco and liquor, and of right living. By this time Larry had had enough of our hero's poundings, and he slunk away muttering under his breath incoherent threats of revenge. Little by little, the crowd which had gathered melted away and only the girl and Carl remained. Oh, how can I thank youf, she cried, he was getting so unbearable. 'Tm very glad to have been of assist- ance, but I only did my duty as a gentle- manf, said Carl modestly, I trust you were not frightened. No! No! but it is some distance to my home and he might attempt some similiar action, I wonder lNIr.-er-er, said she in confusion. Carl Campus is my name. Thank you, mine is Loretta Fenton. As I was saying could you please see me home? I should be a perfect ass to refuse such an invitationf' said Carl meaningly as Loretta blushed a deep red. During the walk to her home, he discovered that she attended a nearby Girls' High School and was very much interested in school athletics. She, her- self, was on her school basketball six, composed of girls, and naturally when Carl told her of his accomplishments in the gymnasium, she grew less and less reserved so that when her house was reached-too soon to suit both of them- they were chatting quite amiably and she had expressed her determination to see him beat the Squedunk team. His heart leaped excitedly when they said good-bye, as she gave his hand a gentle and encouraging squeeze. On the way back to his own home a vision of two blue eyes, a pretty acquiline nose, and a sweet inviting mouth, kept recurring before his vision. hlore than once he found himself musing at a sin- gularly significant word- Loretta.,' CHAPTER II The day of the game found Carl Campus in a state of nervous anxiety- not that he feared for the ability of him- self and the rest of his fellow players, but he sensed some foul play, for he knew that Larry Hocksure would stop at nothing to worst him. Larry played opposite him as center on the rival team. The game was characterized from the very start by the whirlwind plays of both schools. There was no mistaking how- ever, that Hocksure was watching for some opportunity to manoeuver so as to be able to put the D. W. C. center out of commission. His shifty glances of un- mistakable hatred brooded ill for our hero, and Carl determined to take no risks and give his enemy any chance of forcing him out of the game. On his side, Campus was playing a wonderful game. He seemed to be at all strategic points at once, and five times in succession prevented a goal for the enemy, which, if it had been successful would have spelled defeat for our hero. The perspiration stood out in shiny beads on his face and arms, and his eyes blazed .QI 39 Ig.. The CLEANER with that calm determination of his. Coach Sleumas at the bench noted with glowing admiration that do-or-die expres- sion on Carl's face. and smiled sarcas- tieally at the thought that Squedunk might possibly win. With his pupil in the game D. XY. C. could not lose, and he knew that nothing short of the most disabling injury. could keep the young athlete from leading his team to victory. That the score stood nothing to nothing, bothered him not in the least, so confident was he of the starring center. During the intermission between the halves, Carl Campus took some time to instruct his men as to the weaknesses of the visitors. He pointed out that they had been fouling very irrationally, and he assured them that only the well trained team could wing and D. IT. C. had that team. Coach Sleumas in turn gave him a point or so on the strange behavior of Larry. Look out for him, he continued. he means you ill. I will, Coach, answered Carl with a grim face. he tried to kick my shins once with the heel of his slipper, but I evaded him. much to his chagrin. 'l'hat's good, and if he tries it once more, call the umpire's attention to it. But Carl merely exclaimed, I'd rather not do so, Mr. Sleumas, it would seem too much like poor sportsmanship. espe- cially if no one noticed it. I know I'll win, and l ll do it on my own merits, playing my own game. and letting that fellow play his. Ile r'an't stop me now no matter what he does. In fact be merely stim- ulates me to better action, and I am more determined than ever to bring dear Il. XY. C. to the top. 'l'he Coach continued to smilcecon- fiflently. 'the ser-ond half opened with the same rushing tactics, that were so character- istic of the previous period. However, Carl noticed that Hocksure, enboldened by the fact that he had thus far escaped detection, was following closely-too closely-upon his heels, but our hero chose to ignore him except to grapple with him for the possession of the ball. In one instance, just as he had seized the ball, he felt a sharp blow directly beneath his heart, and he turned in time to see his enemy step behind a player, so as to seem innocent of any charge. Although the blow made him gasp and choke, Carl held the ball sufficiently long enough to pass it to a teammate who, however, failed to score. He said nothing, but he came back more guarded than before. The game was drawing swiftly to a close, and Carl decided to do his very utmost to get past the interference of the Squedunk team. In the last minute left for play, he decided to use his 'dnal trick. He called time out and after having explained his idea to the team, resumed play with every nerve and fibre tense, and his mind fully awake to the game before him. He secured the ball and bent his left knee-a signal for the forthcoming play. Making as if to throw to his forward, who had run in ahead of him, obviously to receive the ball, he suddenly shot it behind to his guard, and running forward waited in mid-field, taking ad- vantage of Squedunk's rushing for his guard. The enemy soon perceived their error when Carl shouting sharply received a and was about to shoot a sure basket, when Larry tore straight for him, and under the pretense of fighting for the ball made a shift to strike the youth in the pit of the stomach, so to cause him to convulse with pain. Even as he went down, his brave mind refused to see defeat, for still grasping the ball, he sent it twirling fromthc center line to the goal. The CLEANER He saw it pass down the net, heard the rumbling roar of the spectators, and as the final whistle blew, he drifted off into unconsciousness. The next day Campus went to visit Miss Fenton. She blushed deeply when he offered her a small bouquet of roses, which he had bought in a nearby store, and then she inquired anxiously. '6You've gotten over the effects of yesterday's treachery, haven't you? I hope you feel better now. 'lYes,,' said Carl, 'ibut you have it within your power to make me feel much better. How can If' she asked, although she knew well enough what he meant. By allowing me, he burst out, to become your servant, I'll do anything for you, I love youf, Her eylids fell, and as Campus stepped forward, and swept her into his strong, manly arms, she looked up at him with brimming eyes of unmistakable love and declared, And 1 love you too. -Bl-9 fl Qynias First 'Uerse D.

Some of them knew the difference between a horse and a cow, but that was as far as their knowledge went. The Hrst few weeks of Farm life inter- ested them because of the novelty of the work. But, after awhile, the work be- came a bore and some of the new students departed from this life for something in the city. About 60 per cent survived the Hrst year of agricultural life, and looked for- ward to their second year of Farm School with a great deal of interest, because of the possibilities brought forth as Juniors. Studies and work throughout the year increased their knowledge, and added materially to the resolve, to become a farmer. Icing season with all its hard work was fun. The usual spring rush to get the crops planted kept everybody on their toes, and was immensely interesting. The work of harvesting the crops in Summer and in Fall was not the easiest of tasks but with all pitching in, the work was finished in good time. Then YVinter came around. With it more studies and preparations for the final year at Farm School. Thus another year passed. Finally graduation rolled around and the Freshmen of 19Q5 were now Seniors, ready to take over the jobs as Farm lNIanagers. But only a third of the original group were left. They were now ready to show that their two years spent at Farm School had give them That love for the Soiln of which they only had a vague idea when they entered. Now their year at running the farms and departments is up. They are now ready to go out from Farm School as part of the alumni. It is now time to give up their projects to the incoming Seniors, so that they also may learn as much of farming as possible, so that they, too, may become adept in agriculture. lNIay you, the incoming managers, receive as much co-operation and help from the faculty as we, and may you also have as good a year, if not better!

Or will our pep die down for pure lack of interest? These things are not particularly pleasant to reflect upon, but, nevertheless, they are true. However, let a prize be offered to the most deserving student in work, and watch the results. Whenever our spirits run low, only a glance at the prize would be sufficient to set us working post-haste. It would be the means of helping us through those occasional spells of irrespon- sibility that attack, usually, during the Spring, and not infrequently during the summer.

LANDSCAPE DEPARTMENT SAM PRICE, '27 ITH the arrival of Mr. Feisser in the early spring, things began to hum. and they haven,t let up yet, although we are in the midst of Wlinter. There is always something doing. So far this year we've laid several new roads, filled up some old ones, cleaned up the Campus from the ravages of last winter, landscaped the entire Dairy, including grading, hauled away stones and rocks, bringing back good soil to ill up the gullies, planting several evergreens and making a lawn. That was the beginning. Next came the Campus. The removal of dead trees and their replacement came first. Then we changed six ever- green beds into flowering shrubbery, and planted ten Pink Dogwoods. The cultivation of the nursery fol- lowed with the transplanting of several thousand cuttings, the planting of some perennial seeds and 22,500 Dwarf lfugho Pines, donated by Harry Lock, an alumnus of Deep River, Conn. ln our spare t.ime we made something not seen very often, a rock garden, in the rear of the llorticulture Building. It is now planted with several hundred flower- ing specimens, all ticketed for classroom Yvflrk. -:II 44 The GLEANER THE DAIRY B. WOLFSON, '27 ARVEST Seasons Come, Har- vest Seasons Go, But Milking goes on forever! And this is the main issue of the daily program at the dairy plant. lNIany have the impression that milking, and cleaning barns are our sole labor problem, but this is not all. Besides milking and cleaning barns we have considerable hay, grain, and bed- ding to haul. Filling our Silo, and landscaping around the barns, take con- siderable time. Our milk production for the past year has been 146,000 qts. VVe have system- atized the plant, and can run the place more efficiently. The one-detail system, which used to mean much to the dairy, now causes no worry. Just when every- thing was looking rosy, out of a clear sky came a thunderbolt in the form of the Tuberculine test. This hit us hard, much to our surprise, due to the fact that our herd had been clean for the past two years. This year Q1 cows were con- demned because of infection with Tuber- cular germs. But, luckily for us, they were not so badly afflicted that we could not sell the carcass for meat. Condemn- ing Q1 cows did not just mean we would have to buy new ones to take their places. Once a barn had a tuberculine cow in it, it must be thoroughly cleaned and sprayed with a Creoline solution. This castastrophe emptied our barns for a while, but we refilled them with a new herd, consisting of 16 cows and heifers C6 of which were pure breds and Q pure bred bullsj. Our milk production is not quite what it should be, due to the fact that 45 per cent of our stock are heifers. We expect these to freshen very soon, and when they do-watch the milk production. HORTICULTURE DEPARTMENT PHILIP Wnrss, '27 C C OY, you will never be a fruit grower, cried Mr. Purmell, our Department head, on no- ticing Spuds eating one of the first class apples. If you must eat, why not take fruit that is slightly bruised?,' Spuds picks up another choice specimen, taps it against a crate bruising the skin and calmly consumes it. Such are the little worries of a fruit grower, who finds him- self in a strange predicament. With one of the best crops of apples on hand that the school had ever seen, it was found necessary to practically give away the early ripening varieties, because of the ndemoralized conditionn of the market. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry who had an apple tree, because of the exceptionally good weather, found himself with several baskets of fruit, which he immediately threw on the glutted market. We are hopeful, however, that later varieties now in storage will command a better price, after most of the perishable stock has been consumed.

And it was just as the Peach King claimed. Just then we heard a swish, swish, and in walked Cohn, the great plantation owner, followed by a meek freshman who was carrying his whip. With a glance of disdain around him, he said, Youse guys may all be there with the ideas,but when it comes to showing results, I'm de guy for me. I made more money on small -al 4 5 Ie-- The CLEANER fruits than any of my predecessors. Swallow that if you can. I did not say anything, but glancing out of the corner of my eye Inoticed Bachman indulging in a self-satisfying smile and well he could afford to, for was he not the man who kept our larder well supplied with vegetables. Before closing I wish to extend the thanks of the members of the Department to Mr. Purmell, our instructor and adviser, for the wisdom he has imparted to us in starting us in the proper path in life.

'l'hey were pulled through Aphis and spider attacks and the hot sun. Sonic of those Vliadwick Whites were six feet t.all but, just at the opening stage, they were not watered as heavy as they should have been, and as a result the blooms were not so large. Wait a minute, and smell those sweet peas. Some odor, eh? I ean't decide whether I like peas or snapdragons the best, they both were a dandy crop this year. Yea, that's all we have now, but let me tell you a secret if you Won't tell anybody. Sh-h-h. We are going to turn the lower house into a rose house. Yes sir, weire going to raise Premier Pinks. You know just how big a step forward that is. Because of the smallness of the appropriation we can only have but two beds of roses this year, but eventually we expect to have a full house. Here's your hat, what's your hurry? Come back when you can stay a little longer. Hey, just a minute, I Want to say that Eckstein sure deserves credit for the work he's done this year, and Pee-VVee Harris, Stony Stonitsch, and myself will have to step some to beat him. Yea, so-long. APICULTURE M. Hunwrrz, '28 LOOKED upon hir. Sehmeider in a sort of indignant manner. W'ell Hurwitz, what have you done this year? Van you give me a specified summary of your work during the past 6 months? Here it has taken you two weeks to haul several loads of fodder, two weeks to remove the bees from No. 7 and No. 4 farms and the rest of your career studying the stars. Get out of the gloom-be a human dynamo for a few days. --:II 48 The GLEANER I was blue, feeling miserable, and my mind felt hurt by the effects of lVIr. Sch.meider,s words. I was dazed, shocked, I could not answer his statements. It seemed as though he were speaking the truth. In my former reports I have spoken repeatedly of having a poor honey flow. In looking over the various apiculture journals I find that the seasons of 1897 and 19144 had the same effect upon bee keeping as the present year. The honey supply of Bucks County was practically nil this season. A great deal of honey was fed to the bees in early spring, for stimulating brood rearing. We expected a normal season, but rain interfered, and more sugar had to be fed to the bees for food, to keep them alive until some flower crop bioomed. Uur clover crops were failures, hardly any nectar being gathered for the production of honey. The flowers that prevailed in honey making were mostly weeds: the Dande- lion, Canadian Thistle, the Lister, Apple- Flower, G-olden Rod, and Peach Blossoms. I was fortunate this summer in observ- ing several unusual happenings. Une in particular was a hunger swarm. This swarm of bees vacated their hives and flew upon a nearby tree. Apial authori- ties state that this occurrence is rare. Swarming, in reality, takes place only when a colony attains its full vigor and strength, when there is plenty of reserve food in the hive. I have ,seen the drones clustering in front of their hive entrance, no longer allowed to enter. One by one they wculd die because of exhaustion, as a result of a bad season, and starvation. All of the colonies are located now at the various farms for the winter. Oper- ations will begin again in spring. THE MAIN BARN A. L. ZOLOTOR, ,Q7. R. HOLLOWAY, '27 HE reason my partner, Bob Hollo- way, and I took over the lNIain Barn was not the idea of runningafarm as the others did, but to gainaknowledge of the practical things. As the name implies, the lNIain Barn is the headquarters, or the hub, around which the other farms operate. From lNIr. Stangel, Holloway and I learned the finer things in agriculture, and also little points of labor and time savings. From lVIr. Groman, we acquired a most thorough knowledge of tractor and farm machinery. From IMr. Kraft, a dyed-in-the-wool practical farmer of many years, we learned how to plow straight with a team of horses, harness with ease and efficiency, repair parts of harness and wagons, and little tricks in farming that, when added up, save you hours in time. In February, when we began our project, we shredded corn fodder by tractor power, In the Spring we aided the farms in many ways. During the Summer months we operated the tractors. Most of the machinery was pulled or operated by tractor power. The past year has been busy and most eventful. Un account of an exceptionally rainy season, we had to abandon planting winter wheat on a few of the farms. Due to the same weather conditions we had trouble with our crops, especially oats, rye, and potatoes. But, at that, we got fair yields and will not suffer for lack of grain feeds and bedding. As the waning Summer fused into the Fall, and it, in turn, bowed before the forerunners of Winter, we built a new ice platform in preparation of the most eventful, exciting, and exhilarating out- door work-Icing Season. .QI 49 11:- The GLEANER I NO. 1. REPORT :XRCIIIBALD W. COHEN, '27 On Feb. QQ, I was given Xo. 1 as my senior project. The first thing done was to get the fields ready for the spring plowing. The fields were plowed and 4 acres planted in spring oats. Then came the corn Uohn- son's County YYhite Dentl. No. 1 was the first to finish shocking and husking. The haying season came and we had to get in the hay. Because of the continuous rains, we worked hard and fast. We were the first. farm to finish haying. Our crew then went to No. 6 to help them. No. 1 is the only outlying farm in the school to have milkingcows. These were tested for abortiong reacting to the test, they were isolated from the dairy herd. Our gross receipts for the production of the milk was 81.500, I am now leaving the farm in the hands of Maltz and Vohen of the '28 class and wish them the best of luck for the ensuing season. FARM NO. 3 D. TYILAN, '27 We have hauled in our corn, which amounted to about 62.3 bushels and 8 loads of nubbins, to the Main Barn. Old Duke and Harry have been sold and our 22 he-iff-rs have been removed to the Dairy Barns. The farm has 4 cows which have rear-ted to the test for Tuberculosis, and will soon go to the butcher. The Q horses, l marc, and .3 colts are in fair Pomlition. lVe are looking forward to having a banner year under the rnanagership of Joe Dornbush, who is showing h'mself capable of handling this position. The old swimming hole has been repaired for icing, a new platform has been erected to make the handling of the ice easier. Among the most noted im- provements at No. 3 are the complete renovating of the barns and out-buildings. YYe have also cemented the barn-floor, and in general have made No. 3 as clean as a barber shop on Sunday. FARM NO. 4 GILBERT HARDIMAN, '27 Due to an exceptionally poor season, No. 4 did not shine in the production of crops. The first part of this year Was abusy one for us. We first hauled manure on both of our corn fields, one consisting of seventeen acres and the other, ten acres. After this We prepared and seeded six acres of oats. Our corn was next seeded. VVhen this was finished we did not lay down on our laurels but whitewashed the entire farm, besides painting as much as possible. At this time our stock consisted of six horses, eighteen heifers, and one bull . Soon after Big Day, after cultivating for some time, we began to haul in our hay crop. There were forty-nine acres in all and it was a hard task, but We finally pulled through. Our wheat and oats were harvested about this time and also hauled in. The oats averaged about 55 bushels per acre,and the wheat about 15 bushels per acre. There was another lull in agriculture, so, taking out our saws and hammers, we built a pump house to replace the old one lost during the fire of 1925. -VI 50 le The CLEANER Soon Fall came and we cut and shocked our corn and soon began husking. It seemed as if we never would finish, but finally on Dec. 1 we husked our last ear. Our total crop was about 1,400 bushels, or about 50 bu. per acre. Not long after, Bee, our loyal canine, surprised us with '7 daughters and 1 son. Our fodder is now hauled in and the year has come to a successful close. The landscaping at No. 41 has been changed from primitive or cave man style to 20th century. We removed the rocks and after sowing a new lawn, borrowed some Koster Blue Spruce from the woods and planted them in an approved style, at la Feisser. A RESUME OF FARM NO 5 FROM FEB. 1926 to FEB. 1927 CARL J. SCHIFF, '27 SAM KATZ, '27 In Feb. 1926, Sam Katz, my partner in the management of No. 5, and I, took over the farm and entered upon our new duties as farm managers. Full of enthusiasm, we at once started upon a campaign of exploration and took an inventory of our project, a farm of 125 acres. Along the Neshaminy Creek a 30-acre Held was fenced off to pasture our herd of 26 heifers. Farm No. 5 was used as a breeding and raising station. We bred all young stock when they became of age, cared for them through the stage of gestation. The calves were shipped to the calf barns and the cows to the Dairy Barns. In the spring we allowed the stock to graze in the pasture during the day. At night they were penned in a paddock and fed grain. The manure was hauled and spread upon our corn Held, when the weather permitted us, to add the nitrogen neces- sary for a good corn crop. During the drier part of March we began to plow our land with two teams and a tractor. Fifty acres were plowed, disced, rolled and spring-toothed by April. We now had a deep, well prepared seed bed, which was ready for planting corn. When the corn was a few inches high we spike-toothed it with a shallow set harrow in order to keep down the weeds, and at the same time make a mulch to hold 'the moisture. When the plants were about.a foot high we cultivated with a two-horse cultivator to make another mulch and kill the weeds. The variety used was Johnson County White Dent, a corn which ranks among the best for stock feeding. Haying season started in June, and with forty acres we had to hustle. We first had to pitch by hand, as our ground was too hilly for a hay loader, but we managed to get in four or five loads per day. We filled all our mows and con- sider our eighty tons a good season's haying. Cutting and ,hauling in our oats next occupied our attention. A tractor, drawing a reaper and binder, was used to cut the oats, and soon we were ready for threshing. Our corn was husked and stored in cribs, and our wheat threshed, and everything made snug for the winter. Lately we plowed Q3 acres and planted Winter wheat, which will be ready for harvest in July. In between the plantings and cultivations, we did a lot of painting and white-washing and kept the barns spic and span. We wish the coming farm managers all possible success in their undertaking. ff-.4a wf.--' 'F ...TW 2 ' lflftltggti 1' --el 51 Ie-- The CLEANER Q FARM NU. 6 NO. 8 REPORT Ihiuu' Simizi.. '-27' No. 6 showed a much larger profit, and more advancement. than in any previous year. This past season we supplied the Dairy with about sixty tons of hay, most of its straw. and 360 tons of silage from our 72-acre corn iicld. which is the largest field in Bucks and llontgoniery counties. Approximately 1.500 tons of manure has been hauled away by No. 6 from the Dairy, and spread on our hay fields and pasture land. We had good oats, and so much of it that we sent. some to Nos. 5, 4, 3, 1, and the Home Farm. tlnr thirty acres of rye went up to fatten the pigs at the Main Barn. The only thing. we kept for ourselves, were two bins of corn each holding 900 bu., and enough straw and hay to take care of our eight horses. In closing I wish to leave to my successor. all my best wishes for a better year than the past, and hope that he will continue to keep No. ti farm among the leaders again next year. AL BL1'rzs'rE1N , '28 Farm No. 8 was taken over by Farm School with a one year lease, in the early spring from lNIr. Chew. It has '75 acres, three horses, one pony and six pigs, with an up-to-date poultry house. The farm was in very poor condition when taken over by tl1e first senior manager, Kahn. He immediately went to work and put it in good shape, by painting and whitewashing wherever necessary. He next planted 8 acres of corn, 35 of mixed hay, and 6 acres of oats. In the early autumn Kahn left No. 8, and was succeeded by Silver. He took the farm over when all hay and oats were harvested. The only thing that had to be done was to shock and husk the corn, this he tried to push, but due to insufficient help was the last to finish. The crop was not very good because of the rainy season. I took over the Farm after the Christ- mas holidays, and all that was left, was to haul in the corn fodder. VVith the lease almost up, everything will be handed over to Mr. Chew, in tip-top shape. Class History lf'U7lfl'II7It'li from page 28j In Football, t 'a ,tain Joe Lvneh and his teammates carried the colors of the I . selgool vietorionsly through the majority of the games. The team was the best that the selool has put out for a number of years. Friefield and Levin were the only two men on the varsity. Baehman, Rosenthal. and Semel were on the reserves. Un the basketball team there were Baehman, Scmel, and 'l'uchman. To the faenlty we owe our gratitude and thanks for their unceasing efforts in assisting ns in our elass and social activities. Many of our burdens were lightened by their aid. tlnr short stay at Farm School will long be remembered and cherished the rest, of our lives.

The success of most of our athletic teams is a wonderful tribute to the efforts of Blr. Samuels, our coach. A The baseball team started the ball rolling. IVe engaged in ten contests, won seven and lost three. In the win-column we added our ancient rivals, P. I. D., defeating them 9-5 after they had won ten straight games, which more than made the season a success. Coach Samuels will long live in our minds. He was with us heart and soul. Those who were awarded their letters in return for their work on the diamond were: Capt. Stonitsch, IViseman, Bachman, Lynch, Loew, Pescken, Elliot, Brick, VVeschner, O'Rourke and lNIgr. Eckstein. In the annual Freshman-Junior post-season classic, the Juniors were awarded the game after a heated argument, with a score of 11-9. After the baseball season what could be more fitting than our annual HGreen and Gold meet, which included tennis, swimming, football and track and field events. The Green team led by Capt. Eckstein, amassed a total of 155 points to 88 for the Gold team by Capt. Levin. Stonitsch, of the Gold team, the high individual scorer with Q0 points, was awarded the gold medal, while Edelman, of the Green team, took second honors with 18 points. He received a gold filled medal. Jung, of the Green, and Loew, of the Gold, were tied with 15 points each for third place. They each received a silver medal. A short rest and we went headlong into what we consider the major sport of the school. VVith sixty candidates answering the call, we started the football season with that fC'0ntinued on page 61D Who's Who in Farm School Athletics SAMUEL BABE SAMUELS IeI.eX'l' old adage- All good things come in small packages seems to have become conspicuously true in Farm School. After having tried large, medium, thin and stout coaches, and after having tasted bitter dregs of defeat, Coach Samuels, a wee bit of a personage, was called upon to guide the athletic destinies of Farm School from the low plane to which it had fallen, to its present aristocratic position, as a feared and worthy opponent of only the best prep teams in the country. -X graduate of Farm School, he left a record as one of the best athletes in its history. Not only did he perform well on the diamond, but was selected in his senior year to captain the squad. For two years he was 1920 football rpiarterback, once on the team, one of the finest teams to represent the school. l'pon graduating, f'oach Samuels ma- triculated at Mass. .Xgr. Vollcge, where he soon made a ref-orfl well to be proud of. For thrcf' Years he helped his .Xlma llatcr obtain glory in baseball and basketball, being captain of the latter team which won the New England State Championship, after defeating Harvard and Dartmouth. For two years he was selected by the leading sport critics on the All-New Englarid Nlythical Five. VVith a nucleus of only three veterans at the start of his coaching career Mr. Samuels produced the great 1995 football team with only one defeat in eight games. This year another top notch eleven was welded together, the result being that Farm School was the leading scorer of Pa., Q33 pts. being amassed to their opponents' 40. His method in training the fellowsiand his system of psychology used in getting the proper spirit and attitude of his men on the various teams is the biggest feature of his success. The personality possessed by this important person, a builder of a fine reputation for his teams and himself, has been shown by the friendship linked with the schools that engage in athletic conflicts with the Farm School. The future aspect of athlet.ics at Farm School seems bright under the guidance of our esteemed and noteworthy coach, SB. Samuels. SAM Honowrrz, 'Q6. The CLEANER THE PAST SEASON CAPTAIN JosEPH LYNCH, '28 OVV that the season is over we can look back with pride and joy and pack away the sweet memory of another football season. Everyone who followed us through the season was pleased with our showing. The one big reason for our performance was the spirit of good fellowship which prevailed at all times. There was not one player on the team that did not give his Hallv at any time. Enough cannot be said of our coach, lllr. Samuels, who is an inspiration to everyone who plays under him. Every- one knows what a good coach means to a team. Coach Samuels was all that, and more. Thanks to the Faculty and Student Body for their staunch backing and wonderful support. VVithout these two factors our season would not have been half as pleasant. I wish to thank everyone who has helped me make the past season a success. OUR NEW FOOTBALL CAPTAIN Harry Jonathan', Cowen, better known throughout the school as Johnny, en- tered the National Farm School in Sep- tember, 1925. He is a graduate of the Central High School of Philadelphia, and was chosen on the All-Scholastic team while playing football at C. H. S. Johnny got off to a flying start in his athletic career at Farm School by making the Varsity football team in his Freshman year. He also made the basketball squad as a first year man. Our new captain kept up the excellent work in his Junior year by again making the Varsity football team, although playing a star game as fullback instead of his former position at tackle. At present, he is again on the basketball squad, working hard to secure his letter in this sport. Our retiring leader of the football team, Capt. Lynch, has made an enviable record. The spirit instilled by him into the team and his presence of mind at the crises of many games, set a high standard for Capt. Cowen to follow the coming season. The school is conident he will live up to the standard. lVe are all back of you, Captain. OUR FOOTBALL SCRUBS H. B. TRICHON, ,QQ We had a fine turnout for football, but we realized that aside from needing the enthusiam and spirit of the school to produce a winning team, we needed a good scrub teamf' The response given to Coach Samuels by the scrubs, was both gratifying to him and a sign of a very good team to represent Farm School next year. When one realizes that the job of the scrubs is to show as much opposition as possible while at scrimmage with the Varsity, and at the same time help them in polishing the team, the job of a scrub is peculiar. Yet we realize the only way of climbing up the ladder to become a varsity man, is a rung at a time. Although due credit is never given unless one attains the varsity berth, the scrubs in themselves worked hard. Wve have prepared for the future. It is now in our hands to do for ourselves that which was formerly done for the school and the football team by others. We must act of our own accord. Let us make good next year.

B. TRICHON, '29 OIIING to that old worn-out topic again, which has been the out- standing point of every returning grad,s speech, and has helped many a sport writer ill up his column, we come to a situation where, after going through a successful football season, we begin to wonder whether our spirit was what it should have been during the season which has just closed. It is true that many of our student body attended our games played away from the home grounds, it is also true that sometimes a rally was held before each game and posters were seen through- out the campus and buildings-but where was all the cheering and support when our team was on the verge of losing? That is where the whole fault lay during the past few seasons with the lack of true spirit. It is evident that spirit was displayed, but by all? No! Just the samevgroup of individuals cheer time and time again for their Alma hIaterg and even this group loses heart and forgets to cheer when our team is up against the Wall. Lacking community spirit, a group cannot work together to develop this lacking elementg class must co-operate with class and show a distinct and finished mode of spirit on the athletic held whether in victory or defeat-Hfinisliedv in the respect of a Eghter to the finish. All the pep and spirit shown by the students in the last year or so, is by far, better than the preceding years in which the 'iOld Farm School Spirit was com- pletely forgotteng nevertheless, a great deal of improvement can be shown, and as long as we have an Alma lNIater that needs support, why not go into it with a whole-hearted spirit?

P. I. 5 -i D.. our ancient rivals. Kluch zeal and spirit among the students, faculty, and grads preceded the game, but it was not Farm School's year yet. Coming upon the gridiron at lIt. Airy with the knowledge of four defeats, in as many years. at the hands of themutes, we were all the more determined to add P. I. Dfs scalp to our list of victories. Although the game was lost because of a fumble by one of our backs, our boys had the edge on the dummies and were leading 6-0 until the fatal last quarter, when the victors scored all their points. l'nable to play in the last four tilts of the season on account of a bad knee injury. our I 'apt., Joe Lynch, played part of the P. I. D. game, and with .Ioe in the line-up the team seemed to show a new brand of fight. Our lone touchdown was due to a pass from Hoguet to Fidelgoltz. after Lynch drew the P. I. D. team to his side of the field leaving Fidelgoltz free. Ile caught the ball unmolested. The entire team showed up remarkably well. Johnny ffowen's defensive work was outstanding. Too mur-In cannot be said of the game, but the loss means more than ever that we have to beat our rivals in next year's CIHSII. The game started with Farm School kicking off. P. I. D. surprising all Farm School followers by returning the ball to Farm Sf-hool's 40-yard line. lYithin a few minutes they had brought the ball to the five-yard line. P. I. D. could not --vi gain anwinch at this point, and Farm School punted out of danger. P. I. D. could not gain through the line and attempted a placement kick, which went wide. ' FARM ScHooL Gm-s STARTED Farm School took the ball on their own twenty-yard line, and with slashing off- tackle plays, coupled with end runs, made a steady march of eighty yards and a touchdown. The try for extra point failed. From this stage of the game P. I. D. was crumbling slowly but surely. Farm School was heading for another touch- down and had already made a march of thirty yards when the unfortunate fumble occurred. It was picked up by Urofsky of P. I. D., who ran for a touchdown. They also kicked the goal for the extra point. After this touchdown P. I. D. was clearly the master for the rest of the game. A few minutes later P. I. D. scored another touchdown on an intercepted forward pass. The game ended shortly after with a score of 14-6. Urofsky and Yeingst were the out- standing performers for P. I. D. THE line up: P. I. D.

However, by hard work, and splendid co-operation by the candidates, and other personnel, interested in the welfare of the team, a well balanced and trained squad was gradually developed, and gave a good account of itself by gaining a decisive victory over the Bordentown lvlilitary Institute, in the opening game of the season. The cul- mination of the season showed the team to have only two defeats on the record. Both of these games were lost in the last few minutes by very close scores, coupled with the fact that the main cogs in the football machine were out of the game with injuries. The team had great offensive power, scoring a total of two hundred thirty-three points, and being credited as the highest scoring scholastic team in Pennsylvania. Defensively, only thirty points were scored against the Green and Gold eleven in eight games. On two occasions against their strongest opponents on the schedule, the Farm School eleven held the invaders for four downs, the ball being only two yards from the goal line. From the spectator,s standpoint the success of the team may be due to various sundry reasons. As a team it had no stars standing head and shoulders above the other individuals. From the team's standpoint the successful season in a great measure was due to the splendid spirit and co-operation amongst the members on the squad, which resulted in the forming of many new friendships plus the uniinching desire for any neces- sary hard work in order to achieve results. Another predominating factor was the interest and spirit which the entirestudent body, Faculty, and Board hlembers showed towards the interest of members on the squad. Three valuable men will be lost by graduation. Sam Hurowitz, a veteran backfield man for three years, was one of the most valuable members on the eleven. A hard worker, and fighting every minute of the game, he was one of the most consistent ground gainers, being versatile on end runs and off tackle plays. Defensively he was equally valuable in backing the line, and also when needed as a safety man. At tackle, Frefeld was a valuable man in line play. Always aggressive, with ability to take plenty of punishment, his side of the line was not weakened. He also was capable of getting down the field quickly under punted balls. The other tackle on the line to be lost by graduating is I. Levin. Playing his first year of varsity football, he showed enough ability to earn him the position. While not as valuable as other members on the line, he had the knack of adapting himself to the game very quickly. With such men as Lynch, Cowen, Stonitsch,Hoguet, Bernard, Elliott, Fidel- goltz, Meyers, Lipman, Levine, Rosen, and other capable substitutes remaining, the outlook for another successful year seems bright. However, the greatest asset for another good year is the unlimited supply of the Farm School traditional spirit coupled with hard work. .QI 59 Ik:- ggg g gg W The CLEANER FRESIIMAX-JTNIUR GAME ENDS IN TIE. 0-0 Q N SEVERAL kg it inches of snow, and ff ND' ' more falling, aided ' ' itat. if by a whistling. biting wind. the t.raditional battle between the Freshman and Junior classes was staged. Hands numb and faces frozen. twenty-two figures stumbled, slipped and fought to a scoreless tie. The Juniors received the ball on the kickoff. and after failing to gain, punted to the Freslunan's forty-yard line. The Freshmen then carried the ball into the Juniors' territory by line plunges and end runs. and held it there for the better part of the first half. But every time a score looked possible the Juniors fought like tigers. The second half found the ball in the Freshies' territory for tl1e most part, due to the comeback of the Juniors, combined with the wonderful punting of Brick. The swirling snow hid the goal posts and unchecked wind chilled the players until they were fighting on pure grit alone. Fumbles were common and passes rare because the players were numb with cold and pain. l riedland, of the Junior team, was the outstanding offensive player for his class. llc was the only one who could gain ground through the Freshman line and was responsible for the two first downs. Yankowitz was a bear on the defense. No one could gain any ground through him. Vaptain Tunick figured in breaking up most of the l reshrnan end runs, while for fight and grit llerzberg and .Xbrarns shone. For the Freslunen, Turansky at tackle rnade practically three-fourths of the tackles. Time after time he would break through the Junior line to make sen- sational tackles. Soskin opened up holes many a time for a. Freshman to slip through for a substantial gain. Captain Jung and Stuhlman guarding the wings, performed very well. Like trained teams of colleges, the two teams shifted and cracked the line with precision. The Juniors had a slight edge in Weight, but, due to the sterling line of the Fresh- men, not much ground was gained. The Freslnnen advanced by line plunges and end runs. They made eight first downs to the Juniors' two, but the Juniors recovered most of this lost ground in punting, having an average of forty yards to the Freshies, thirty-yard punts. At no time in the annals of Freshman- Junior games was there ever one staged as on Dec. 5, 19Q6. Joe Lynch, who coached the Juniors and Harry Bachman, coach of the yearlings, deserve great credit for the gentlemanlike and spirited game put up by the two classes. Jcxioas '28 Tunick tCapt.D .....

' NC Coming to Farm School I XXI ,. with intentions of further- ing the reputation his brother Dick,' had made here, our baseball captain for the coming year started his career by earning the first base position on the nine, in his Freshman year. After playing a brilliant brand of ball, Stud , for he was so named by his fellow students, turned his attention to foot- ball, and although it was a new game to him he succeeded in making the varsity squad. Jffffsmgr- Playing his second year of varsity baseball for Farm School Stud', exhibited plenty of ight and spirit and his good playing soon won a popularity, which he well deserves. Football season found Elliot on the first eleven, holding down one of the wing positions. Although only two of last yearis letter men will be lost, Bachman and YViseman, both of whom were valuable assets last season, prospects for a good team are very bright. Not knowing what material the coming Freshman class will bring in, the following FM men will form a nucleus for the ,Q7 team: Captain Elliot, Lynch, Stonitsch, Brick, YVeschner and O'Rourke. Elliot is a born ball player and if the team backs him and shows the same spirit that uStud,, shows on the diamond we canit help but come through with a successful season. A Review of the 1926 Season CC07Zf7iIl,7,l6CZ from page 53l real Nup and at ,em spiritf' The team's record of five games won, one tied and two losses, speaks for itself. Vlle were the highest scholastic point scorers of Penna. with a total of Q33 points. This record is all the more remarkable when you consider that Capt. Lynch was out of half of the games with a knee injury. In the reverses we suffered, we were never disgraced, our opponents were of the classy variety. The following men were awarded the coveted F for giving their all on the gridiron: Capt. Lynch, Freifeld, Levin, Bachman, Horowitz, Elliot, Bernhard, Cowan, Levine, Fidelgoltz, Houget, hlyers, Lipman, Rosen and BIgr. Abelson. Honorary FH Rosenthal, Tuchman and Semel. In the traditional inter-class football feud, the game ended in a scoreless tie, after one of the best exhibitions of sportsmanship and hard fought football games to be played between two classes. They played in three inches of snow, and all during the conflict the snow was coming down in heavy flakes. Coach Samuels, who was time- keeper, had a good opportunity to look over his future football material. ' 4161 Ie-- THE BASKETBALL SQUAD .

Bud Hoguet, who held down a half- back position on the football eleven, and who started the football season with the first touchdown of the year, duplicated the stunt, by scoring the first field goal of the season with a pretty shot. Although our boys were always in the lead the game was tightly contested and it was a good opener for our season. Our snappy forward, Bachman, was the bright light for the Aggies, and was the leading scorer of the team, with eight points to his credit. Hoguet came next with six points, besides playing a great defensive game. Glockner and Vezard scored most of the visitors' points, while J. Elgart, also of the Prep team, was their mainstay, playing a line game at forward. With a little more experience and with plenty of backing on the part of the student body, Coach Samuels can be sure of a successful season. LINE LP BRowN PREP. N. F. S. J.

The game started off with a bang, and our first point was scored when Center Lynch put a foul shot in, making the score 1-0. Both teams were playing a purely defensive game the first half and Coach Samuels' five-man defense system could not be penetrated. The first half ended in a deadlock.-the score being 9-9. The second half started fast and furious and Farm School started to find themselves. and succeeded in mounting their score to 16 points, but when every- thing began to look rosy for Farm School, our visitors let loose and cut up our defense to shreds, bringing their score up to 32 in the last few minutes of play. Stonitsch, who was out of the first game due to an injury, was back in the line-up at one of the forward positions, and succeeded in making the last field goal for Farm School and after the whistle had blown the score stood 32-QQ in favor of the visitors. .Xlthough our boys fought hard and gave all they had, there was a lack of passing ability and there were altogether too many fouls, for a good many of Trade Sr,-hool's points were due to foul shots.

It was plainly blackmail as llr. Ion lNIillyarns realized, but if he refused this villain's demands, his only son, Iamit, the pride of his school, would be openly disgraced. YVith a cunning look, the youth made a motion as if he would rise and depart, but was detained by a wave of the other,s hand. lNIr. Blillyarns walked over to a secretaire and seating himself, wrote a check for the required amount. A close observer woidd have noticed a gleam in his eyes while thus engaged. Upon receiving the check, the extorter handed the strange assortment over and immediately departed, a suggestion of a smile on his face. Clumsily fingering the packet, the old gentleman took one envelope and started to read. He had not, however, read two lines when he stopped puzzled, then he realized how he had been swindled. For the notes, he held in his hands were a number of magazines and periodicals and a typewritten manuscript. Examination of the latter disclosed the following matter: 'The GLE.kNER wishes to congratulate these schools, upon the excellence of their magazines and papers. D. H. S., Blass.

Num? erous discussions on the position and other important factors were held at various intervals, and each time tabled to a later date. To start on a new field, meant money plus other material things. At a meeting of the Philadelphia Chapter of the alumni, held in January 1927, definite plans were laid for the new Held. The main subject of discussion was the organizing of a campaign to get the necessary funds to fulfill their plans. The amount to be raised is fi52,000. The Alumni Athletic Field , the name given to the new Held, will be much larger than the present one. 1 The plans are so constructed as to enable several different sports to be played at the same time, without interfering with one another. Another important outcome of the meeting ofthe Alumni, was the discussion of holding an Alumni Dance in Philadel- phia, the proceeds going towards the campaign fund. The members who attended were all enthusiastic about making this affair a success, and all 10:1 , l up v 4, fi! joined in a real N. F. S. spirit to put it across. Those present at the meeting, which was held at the home of Samuel Rudly, Captain of the 1908 football team, were: Rudly, '08, Sainer, '11, Rackland, '11, Finkel, '12, Work, '18, Goldberg, '14, N. Lipschult, '14, Raskin, '14, Toor, '16, Lew Goldberg, '17, Ben Goldberg, '18, Find, '20, and S. Samuels, '21. In the course of time, most of us will be Alumni members. The interest that the National Farm School Alumni have shown at games in the welfare of the students and in new enterprises, should in itself, make every Farm School fellow co- operate with the Alumni. The campaign for the new Alumni Athletic Field will soon be launched. Get behind your leaders, work with them. YVhatever our status in laterljfe may be, we will all possess one thing in common-a deep and sincere devotion to the schoolinwhich we formed our iirst and real friendship. As a final word, remember, in helping the Alumni put across the amount needed for the new Held, you are beneiting yourselves. .QI Ig.. .Xi ' V I i.

The CLEANER FRESHMAN CLASS Just think, no more raids: not so bad, not so good, for after all what's better than a raid now and then. The past season has met with some setbacks as well as many achievements. We all regret the fact that our president and secretary left us to join Cornell and Penn State Colleges. The social part of our Freshman year was conducted very well. Roasts, watermelon parties, dances, and various little entertainments were enjoyed by all. Although the Junior class defeated us at baseball, we turned the trick on them and held their more or less in football, experienced team to a scoreless tie. At the call for football candidates almost the whole class reported, six making the varsity team, and receiving that much cherished F.,' Our class has at last received their pennants, bearing the emblem of a cow with Crimson and Gold background.

THE ORCHESTRA LEON ROSENZYYVEIG, '29 Da, Da, Boom, ,, Boom. Gee, it makes .1 one feel like danc- ing, to those tunes, those familiar strains that were heard by so many during the X past year. The orchestra is winding up the year success- fully, due to the co-operation of the students and to the tutelage of hlauri Skaist, musical director and pianist. Besides playing over the radio and at various community affairs, the orchestra traveled to Norristown and played for the Y. BI. H. A. at their recent dance. At the recent Corn Show, the orchestra played, while Prof. Schmitz udged the corn. This bears out the fact that music hath its charms. Before concluding I think the boys who worked very hard and faithfully towards making the orchestra a success be properly introduced. Harlan T. Huff, the Trenton City chap who always smilingly and willingly plays the instru- ment which made Mischa Ellman famous. Joe Miller, the ladies' man, with the aid of his feet plays a wicked sax. Roy Stuhlman, the loyal son of old Phil- adelphia, who makes the drums do everything but sing, will be back next year with lots of pep, and red hot stuff. For the benefit of those readers who have not met our friend Dal Ruch, let me say that he is the wickedest man in town, sax and all-and does he like women- Cask Nliss Camdenj. Next is our own Mauri Skaist, the one who has banged his way into many a womanis heart, aided by his formidable moustache. Of course we all know Wholesale', Trichon, our pianist and drummer boy, who loses a note every time he pats his marcelled hair. As the writer of this article is rather modest, it seems more fitting that the Editor should introduce our own little bullet-head who blows a werra, werra wicked sax. Unlike his colleagues he is very bashful, and blushes every time he sees a beautiful girl. This concludes the introduction of the fellows who took active part in the orchestra throughout the past year. We might add that all these men will be back next year. The orchestra takes this opportunity to wish the graduating class a bright and prosperous future. evil 69 Ir:- The CLEANER The Student Council In reviewing the social events of the year ending January, 19Q7, we find that we leave behind a record of which we may well feel proud. We know that all work and no play makes Jack a very dull boyg therefore the Council members have worked in earnest throughout the year with a view of promoting social activities for the Student body. First. of all, the Council wishes to thank Mr. Erlanger for his kindness in donating the new Orthophonic Phono- graph and radio. YVe wish to assure him that it is being greatly appreciated. 'I hroughout the year the Student Body was entertained with movies. This was a big factor in the social life of the students. A new booth was erected and installed in the gymnasium, together with an up-to-date moving picture machine and screen. Our administration was inaugurated with the Freshman reception dance in the early spring. Since then, nine dances have been held, each of which has been a decided success. We also End new faces among the dancers and that, we assure you, will help in supporting dances in the future. Besides the dances, the council rnoted such affairs as the Green Goldn meet, which was held in July, and was supported very creditably by the pro- and Student Body. Frank Stonitsch scored the greatest number of points and was awarded a gold medal in recognition of his prowess. The Corn Show, one of the best planned and elaborate exhibitions in this county, was held on December 11, 1926, and Was a huge success. Professor Schmitz of Pa. State College was the judge, and his remarks and criticisms were of great educational value. The last affair conducted by the Student Council was the Football Victory Banquet, held in Lasker Hall to celebrate the team's successful season on the gridiron. Hugo Bezdek, Athletic Direc- tor of Penn State College, and the principal speaker of the evening, proved to be very entertaining and interesting with his comments and suggestions for the game of football. The council wishes to thank Nlrs. O. A. Stangel and Miss Rebecca Churchman for their kind assistance, and the entire faculty for their co-operation in all social affairs. 'We feel that 1926 was an extremely good year and hope that in February, when the new Council takes up its duties, it will continue to act for the good of the Student body. SAM KA'rz, 'Q7. Secretary.

In writing an article of welcome to llr. W'ing. our new Dairy instructor, it may not he amiss to tell something of his history, a history of which the school may well he proud. Mr. Wing was born in lttlebolo. Blass., the place ot' the Blue Hills. He attended the fhester High School. afterwards matriculating at the Stanton llilitary Academy. He was graduated from this institution in 1920. and in the same year entered the Connecticut Agricultural College. -Xt college llr. W'ing specialized in Dairying and Genetics. In IQQ4 he received the degree of Bachelor of Science in Agriculture and in 1925 his Master of Science in Agriculture. In addition to his wonderful scholastic standing throughout his college career, Mr. W'ing was awarded the coveted CW of Connecticut Agricultural College in track. His popularity and good fellow- ship were shown by his election to the -Xlpha Gamma Rho, the National Agri- cultural Fraternity. climbing the ladder He was steadily of fame and in his Senior year he was elected president of his fraternity. Aside from the agricultural education received at college, Mr. Wing was adju- tant of the sehool's Reserve Officers Training f'orps. Later he was given the commission of Qnd Lieutenant. Mr. W'ing came to the National Farm School in September, 1926. He certainly deserves to be congratulated upon his popularity in the short time he has been with us. It is. indeed, a pleasure to know that the students have so early come to recognize the worth of him who has his profession at heart. Wie, of the Gm-:.xNr:n Staff. are very glad that Mr. Wing has come to be with us. and hope the regard and admiration of his students will continue. 72 I'-.. HERMAN FEISSER During the past year, another new faculty member has been added to the National Farm School. lNIr. Herman Feisser came to us in April, 1926, with the sole purpose of promoting the interest ill Landscape Gardening. Baden-Baden, Germa.ny, the birthplace of our new instructor, has been the inspiration for the many idealistic features in his land- scaping work. Perhaps it would be pleasing to know something of the past life of hir. Feisser. He is a graduate of a European College. The education received in these institu- tions would have been sufficient to warrant him as a irst-class Landscape Gardener, but to hir. Feisser a. great deal more was to be learned. For some years he was the managing director of a large nursery in the New England States. Through his work he has won recognition from well known institutions, as to his ability for creating beauty in landscaping. His pleasing man- ner and his efforts to interest his pupils in Landscape Gardening have made him one of the best liked teachers on the Farm School campus. 3Ir. Feisser is at present, working on a plan for changing the trees on the state road to some sort of shrubbery. He spends much time in class discussing the possibilities of beautifying our campus.

HORTICULTURE SOCIETY The Horticulture Society, organized during the spring of 1926, has made rapid strides toward success. The pur- pose of this organization is to stimulate more interest in horticulture, land- scaping, and greenhousing. At the first meeting, held 3Iarch 7, 1926, the following were elected to ill the ofiices for the year: Honorary Pres., lIr. Purmellg Pres.. Jack Rosenthal, Vice-Pres., Lewis Eckstein, Secretary and Treasurer, Harry Bachman. During the summer months, moving pictures were shown every alternate Friday, and proved to be very educa- tional. A trip was fostered by the Society, and met with great success. IVe visited the Andorra Nurseries, at Chestnut Hill, Pa., and a great deal of knowledge was derived from the journey. 1NIen of prominence were brought here by the Society to speak to the student body. Among them were lIr. Atkinson, President of the Bucks County Horticultural Society, who talked of his experiences in orcharding. INIr. Kerr, the superintendent of Burpee's experi- mental grounds, and one of the most eminent plant breeders in this country, gave us a talk on the importance of plant breeding. In his talk he dis- cussed breeding as a science, and the beneits derived from it by mankind. The first year of the organization is completed, and we hope this club will continue its existence during the succeed- ing years. The Seniors of the Society take this opportunity to wish the under- classmen all the luck possible for the coming year. HARRY BACHMAN, '27.

It is composed of the fellows who have attained the height of pro- ficiency in the various sports in which they have participated, so as to receive the coveted NF. Before the Varsity Club was organized, little harmony existed among the letter men of the school. There was nothing to bring them together, scholastically or socially. The success of athletics in the school depends upon the varsity men: therefore the Varsity Club was organized. Its purpose of maintaining a high degree of school spirit in the Student Body and making the Farm School F a goal to strive for, has been, thus far, very successful. At various times of the year important discussions are held concerning the sport at that period. Coach for the best material in the Varsity Club. The it is popularly known, to be played Samuels looks each sport to F Club, as has never failed to fulfill the expectations of the Coach. The accomplishments of the Varsity Club have been such as to warrant outside interest. During the time this Club has been organized three prizes have been offered to the outstanding athletes from outsiders who have noticed the wonderful showing of our teams. Through the efforts of the Club, sweaters and gold footballs have been awarded to successful teams. Another feature largely due to the efforts of the F Club, has been the awarding in the future, of certiicates to the letter men. Every N. F. S. fellow is interested in sports of some sort, whether it be base- ball, football or basketball. Every fellow here. also feels a thrill, a certain pride, in the prowess of his school, when he witnesses a game and sees N. F. S. emerge victorious. The Varsity Club has increased this feeling within the Student Body. The students have real- ized the importance of this organization and have worked hand and hand with it. The members of the Varsity Club have gained a great deal by being the leaders in Athletics at Farm School. One cannot realize what the companionship has meant in our lives. No one can realize what the athletic event of which you become a leader will do for you-or what it means to Wear the letter of Green and Gold. I do not mean what the letter is in itself g-I mean what the real and traditional principles of the letter stand for, as it should be looked upon. To the Varsity Club members of the graduating class, namely Bachman, Semel, T uchman, Levin, Eckstein, and Rosen- thal, in behalf of the Varsity Club, I bid you all farewell. You have done your share and the others must follow. The gaps that you leave in the various teams will be felt. An invitation to attend further meetings with the Varsity Club is tendered to you, who are leaving your Alma hlater. Joi-INNY COVVEN, '28, President. T-:rl 74 lf-A .,-w...,.Mu.. THE VARSITY CLUB Fig.. Mggg -Mg Tf1egQl..EANlflR THE SENATE HE Senate. the student law governing body, consisting of five Seniors and three Juniors. has just completed its official term for the year 1926, pending the election of the new Senate for 1927. It is a pretty hard thing to punish a friend of yours, who has broken a Senate law. and yet be that person's friend. That is the situation of Student Govern- ment in disciplinary cases, and yet it must be done. and the persons being punished must have a broadminded view not to be hurt in such a manner that he has lost a friend. or made an enemy. We then take the privileges that were asked of the faculty. In this respect we have accomplished enough for the past administration, of which we feel proud. Saturday mornings off was one of the big things added to the many others. The Jury, a branch of the Senate, whose duty it is to try class distinction cases, should be given commendation, too. There are four men picked from the Student Body list, usually two Juniors and two Seniors, with the Secretary of the Senate presiding at all meetings. After Nov. I a freshman may serve on the Jury. These men are picked and cannot be prejudiced in trying cases, therefore the Jury may take a lot off of thc Senate's hands in trying petty eases or else eases in which the Senate may be hurt in any way. In closing our year we must. give credit where credit is due, and that should he given to our l'resident, of the Student Body and Senate, Nlr. Ira lYeehsler. Ile has handled situations throughout, the entire year, in the most pleasant and intelligent manner, and we feel that every one appreciates what he has done for the students this year. To the Faculty we wish to give thanks for the thoughtful consideration and assistance and for the added privileges given to the students. At all times we did not fear for a fair hearing. VVe wish to thank all those who have supported us, and we hope the new Senate will receive the full-hearted co-operation of the Student body and Faculty. SAM KATZ, '27, Secretary. LITERARY cC0lZf'f7l'll6d from page 37D friends, he was barbarously murdered at the foot of Pompey's statue. He was a true Roman, and when he saw the daggers gleam he did not cower in fear, but wrapped his cloak about him and awaited the fatal strokes. Rienzi, the last of the Tribunes, was a just and merciful magistrate. He made no discrimination between the rich or poor, but went too far in his judgment by trying to do away with the people, who rose in rebellion and murdered him. Admiral Nelson, having been seriously shot by the French marksman at Tra- falgar, expired shortly after. He was repeatedly heard to say, even in his last moments-- Thank God, that I have done my dutyf' VVhat praises can be showered upon such a man, a man who thought more of duty than of himself, a man who as he lay on his death-bed thanked tiod that he had been permitted to perform the work which had been assigned to him. Thus, in these few illustrations, I have tried to show how some of our noblest pat riarchs died, and how dauntlessly they met, their fate. 4? a A QST1 'Pg fi I Ta. f - , v Aff' my 23, ,-1, .4 ,, f I ' , ' . , fl 'ff C.

It must also be remembered that we remaining members shall witness the exit of some of our best associates, due to graduation. VVe can- not praise these members too highly for the work they did in organizing such an interesting club. It -was through their efforts mainly that we received as much as we did out of the Cockerals. In reviewing some of the things we achieved, we cannot help but regret the late organization of this club. VVithin five months we obtained in- structive motion pictures from the Dept. of Agr., which were shown in the gym, every Thursday evening, We also made a trip to the Sesqui-Centennial in Phila- delphia where we saw the most wonderful display of poultry ever shown in the world. These and many other things served to make our club pleasant and entertaining throughout the year. We hope to keep up the good work of the club and to increase our membership when the new Freshmen enter in the spring. Jos. LYNCH, ,Q8. THE VETERINARY SOCIETY During the past year the foundation of this club was laid by a steadily growing interest in Veterinary Science-in the form of the Veterinary Society. Since organizing on October 12, 1926, the progress of this club has been gratifying. Besides the interest shown by the students our Veterinary Science Instructor, Dr. Wesley Massinger, has added greatly to the club by his personality, interesting talks, and his great love for animals. Our forthcoming schedule of trips will open with a visit to the U. of P.'s Vet. Science Dept. Through the efforts of Dr. hlassinger the members of the Society will be shown some very interest- ing points by eminent leaders of Vet- erinary Science. Finally, to 1Ir. IVilan, our president and Mr. Cohen, our Vice-president, the Senior oflicers, I wish to convey the thanks and appreciation of the Society for their help in the starting of this organization. To the other Senior mem- bers who are graduating we wish to convey the message of welcoming them back to our meetings in the future. D. D.u.m.s RUCH, 'Q9 i --QI 77 IF' The CLEANER The Athletic Board YTSIDERS might wonder, who is in back of all Farm School athletics? Who controls the athletics? That is one of the many reasons for the Athletic Board of the National Farm School. It consists of three faculty members, namely. hir. Campbell. llr. Samuels and Mr. Stangel. and three students, Sam Katz. President. Harry Bachman, Secretary and Treasurer, and Joe Tuch- man. YYelfare llanager. The purposes of the A. A. Board are: 1. To take care of the athletic asso- ciation equipment. Q. To supervise all bookkeeping meth- ods and accounts. 3. To be responsible for the annual budget which covers all athletic schedules. 4. To approve athletic schedules. 5. To take charge of all athletic funds and appropriations, and expenditures of same. 7. To serve in an advisory capacity, for the good and Welfare of the athletic association. 8. To regulate and control all class games. 9. To award all school insignia and emblems recommended by the coach, captain and manager. The a.thletic board has done much the past year. It arranged the award of sweaters and gold footballs to the var- sity members, besides the award of a certificate to F Winners, which will be a more permanent record. An accomplishment of the Board was the regulation of the budget with the result that the Athletic Association is in the best financial condition it has ever been. With a bright future ahead, the grad- uating members of the '27 Class hand over the leadership of the Athletic Board to the Board of the Class of '28, Wishing them a most successful year.

LIEBERNICK, 'Q9 Amidst novel and picturesque sur- roundings, the National Farm School held its second annual Corn Show, at Segal Hall on Saturday, December 11, 1926. The event was the most success- ful ever staged, and marked the end of a prosperous year for the school. The corn judging was done by Pro- fessor Schmitz, who highly complimented the students on their work and the man- ner in which they managed the exhibit. Altogether there were 1Ql different ex- hibits, which comprised about 1000 ears of yellow and white corn. Professor Schmitz, Extension Special- ist of State College, was the speaker of the day. In his address he urged the students to stick to agriculture, and to get a farm of their own as as soon possible. His formula for success was to start on a small scale, to save money in every possible way, and constantly to improve the farm. Referring to the rapid drift of the rural population cityward, llr. Schmitz stated that we can well afford to lose more of the unintelligent farmers to city life, but that we must supply more young men of high intelligence, who will raise the standard of farm life by the thorough use of modern and scientific farming. In concluding, he expressed his hope that the students would not be dis- couraged from adopting farming as a life career, by pessimistic reports of agricultural conditions. The prize winners included the fol- owing students: F. H. Toland, N. Tankenbaum, H. Semel, R. Holloway, W. W. Weiss, H. Brick, Joseph I. Brown, M. Berick, A. Zolotor, J. Weinberg, D. Wilan, and B.
