xtqyw gg ww SALUTATORY hu A. 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
