In our Fresh- man year he always forecasted raids whether or not they materialized. Thus he endeared himself to his classmates. With the advent of his Junior year ' Hookey joined the social elite of Doylestown, and we were glad to be so well represented.

Y ' ., which has provided Farm School with many past notables, and we believe Fats will eventually correlate these precedents. Manny ' s light heart has tended to preserve his cherubic countenance, and he is troubled by nothing more serious than the source of his cigarette butts. . mong Fats noteworthy achievements was his prolonged sojourn in the Jewish Hospital where he underwent a most profitable appendictum of three months duration. Manny returned to us. however, hail and hearty, an.xious to till the fertile fields of Farm Xo. 3. Here Fats spent many delightful days growing the things he loved, bearing good will to all and malice to none. ■4 22 1=-

JiNioR Year: Class Baseball Football; Poultry Club. Senior Year: Orchestra; Poultry Club; Inter-Dorm Baseball. When our friend .Abie lamentably and boisterously hollered, Give the Common Herd a Chance , little did he realize that his utterance was to become the by-word of the large insurgent body of N. F. S. His worils rank second in quotability to Mr. Samuels ' time-honored phrase, It ' s not the money, it ' s the principle . .As is easily surmised Sam is a staunch defender of his rights — right or wrong. Sam ' s sensational claim to fame is his brilliant flare for music as inter- preted through blatant saxophonic strains. If we are to accept science ' s claims that music in the laying house increases egg production we need have no fear of Sam ' s future success. FREDERICK BH ' MER Anilij Gnmp Philadelphia, Pa. Farm Machinery South Philadelphia High Age 21 If the hill will not come to Mahomai, Mahomat mil come to the hill. — Francis Bacon.

This common- sensed Switzlander might well be called a jack of all trades and a master of many. Possessed of mechan- ical genius, and a thorough knowledge of intricate electrical contraptions, Fred solved many of bur mo.st enigmatic technical problems. His adept manipulation of the radio made it possible for us to enjoy many long study periods. During his regime as movie operator, Sunday evenings became a source of gratifying entertainment. Nothing was ever too insignificant or too intricate for Andy to tackle, and he gladly performed many invaluable services to his class and school. ■4 21 f-

Senior Year: Poultry Club: Inter-Dorm Baseball. . 1 was always a great advocate of school athletics. . lt hough unable to partake in varsity .sporting events he could always be seen swatting the apple, boot- ing the pigskin, or shooting goals according to the season. The vast energj- not used on the A. . . field by this dynamic person found an outlet in the pea. Al is one of the blesse.l few versed in the lost art of letter writing. He wrote unceasingly, to whom and of what is none of our business. Suffice it to say the many replies were sealed in colorful envelopes of delicate fragrance. Being so worldly-wise eame l . 1 the respect of all, and the envy of many. JOSEPH I. BRO VX ColuTnbus. Ohio East High (ieneral Agriculture Age J-2 His voice ever soft. Gentle and low. — William Shakc.ipeare. Activities: Freshman Year: Class Football; Chess and Checker Club. JcNiOR Year: Class Football; Chess and Checker Club. Senior Year: Veterinary Society. The Metropolitan Grand Opera Company lost one of its possible greats when Joe chose agriculture as his life career. His resonant bass voice has been a constant source of gratification to his entranced classmates for three years. However, opera ' s lo.ss was agricultures gain. Joe might rank preeminent among the scientific farmers of our class. Compounding feed rations and solving intricate chemical formulas placed him in a position of undis- puted classroom authority. As a staunch advocate of chess and checkers for mental development, Joe ranks second only to Spielman. Such sterling virtues will surely be welcome in anv asricultural community. 23
