Text from Pages 1 - 92 of the 1929 volume:

Boris Pete Zeldis Upon f)e ©eat!) of 3 prober VICTOR wended my way home in silence With sorrowed and much saddened mind, For I thought of my dear brother ' parted Whom no earthly power could find. Then I thought of my dear old mother, Of the sorrow that she had to bear; For I kneiv that no love could ever With the love of a mother compare. And soon I approached the dark graveyard Where my brother with grief urns laid. It seemed as if some Divine power Inspired, I knelt down and prayed. As I prayed, I saw there a vision: My brother with radiant face. He seemed, oh, so happy in Heaven, I wished I had died in his place. So I felt that God had done justice, Though he had taken my brother aivay. My mind was consoled with the thought that I would meet him in Heaven some day.

Those who undertake the shaping of a life must have the faith and vision to know that a life can be shaped and permanently shaped. They must have the good judgment to know what influences and surroundings must be brought to bear upon such a life, and then they must have that patience and that firm pur- pose to carry out their aim. We are conscious that our Faculty, our Dean and our Board of Directors possess such a vision and faith, such a patience and firm purpose. This vision and patience have not, in the end, fallen upon barren soil. There has been many a time in our life here that days were not bright and the birds did not sing sweetly. A comparison of the num- ber graduating today with the number who entered with us three years ago will testify to this fact. But the vision of those who stand sponsor for us has been contagious, it has led many a one to believe that older, more experienced heads must know. We caught up this note, and have labored along, believing, as did Lincoln, that now is the time to store up knowledge and that eventually our time will come. Our closeness to Nature has given us the gift of having the vision which looks beyond what the eye seems to see. It has enabled us to look beyond present obstacles and know that there is a world of prom- ise just waiting to come forth when properly called upon. We have come to know that it is not constant entertainment that makes for deepest contentment ; rather it must be drawn from the deeper wells of quiet reflection, and the worthwhile values of life. To you who have sponsored us through three years, we owe this bit of realistic thought. As the master is above his clay, or the workman his tools, so have your vision and that of Nature begun the shaping of a life. Salutatory Harry Weissman T IS with a keen sense of regret, and yet anticipation for the future, that we gather here today on the occasion of our commencement into the agricultural world. We are happy that so many are here to re- joice with us at our achievements and to bid us Godspeed for the future. We of the 1929 graduating class can recall the feeling of trepidation experienced when our choice of Agriculture as a profession was made. We had been informed through books and through the press of hardships, the drudgery, and the political antagonism which the farmer has had to strug- gle against. We might have been a bit intimidated, too, by those who refused to recognize farming as a profession — or as one of the scientific branches of industry. Discouraging incidents of individual farmers who slaved and sweated for years to find at last a haven in Death, were brought to our attention. Yet, upon the suggestion of those who were really qualified as mem- bers of the agricultural industry to give advice, we came to Farm School and entered upon a career which has thus far been of the utmost interest to us. We have here had an opportunity of becoming acquainted with the really scientific professionalism of our future occupation. We have learned that through a judicious utilization of modern machinery, through the adoption of business methods and management, and through the faith- ful observance of the scientific practices of production, we may enjoy as large a monetary result as any branch of industry in the city, for the corre- sponding amount of capital invested. It is not, however, this monetary gain which urges us on into the oldest, noblest, and most basic industry in the world. The joy of living a life of health amid those surroundings which nature had originally in- tended man to live in is by far the most convincing explanation of our choice. It is certainly fitting at this time to thank our Faculty for their in- valuable aid towards our still incompleted education. They have earned our admiration, our respect, and, what is most important to us, they have secured our friendship. Those principles which they have inculcated into our minds, it is our duty to make use of wherever we may be. We must think of this graduation not as an exit from an institution of learning, but rather as a commencement into the greatest of all insti- tutions — that of life. -4 9 f- Presentation of J|oe Leon Rosenzweig Il7 HAT an appropriate symbol of friendship ' s this remarkable tool — ft  the hoe! With it the soil is made mellow, fine and pliable so that some day we might reap the benefits of it in abundance. Scores and scores of tools have been made to replace this simple device. Some, without a doubt, are much superior, and more economical; but the purpose served in the end is the same. One can trace in the development of such a device, from the crude crooked tree bough of primitive man to the mammoth present-day gang plow, the progress of mankind. So when I say it is a symbol of friend- ship I mean that man, some way or other, is indebted to it, and whether it be in Agriculture or not, he must love it. Accept then, Mr. President, this hoe. You know of its uses through daily contact; but you can still learn more of it through heeding the patient advice of those who labor with vou as instructors. -4 10 h- The Faculty C. L.

Freshman Year: Class Football, Interdorm Baseball, Dairy Club. Junior Year: Horticulture Society, Interdorm Baseball, Interdorm Basketball. Senior Year: Horticulture Society, Natural Science Club. With the simplicity born of meekness Bob has gained our respect. Eager to oblige at all times, and conscientious as a worker, he need not fear for his future. Bob , your quiet and unassuming ways will bind the world to you as they have already bound us. You cared wonderfully for your peaches, and a wonderful peach you JULIUS BECK Jule General Agriculture Age 19 New York City DeWitt Clinton High School And even his virtues lean A to virtue ' s side. — Oliver Goldsmith. Freshman Year: Interdorm Basketball, Natural Science Club. Junior Year: Interdorm Basketball, Dairy Club. Senior Year: S. S. A. Committee, Interdorm Basketball. Jule is one of those hombres who couldn ' t feel perfectly contented when dressed up. In his calf-high boot pants he would roam about his work feeding dogs, catching pigeons, and tightening bolts. We ' ll always associate him with his famous Rube Goldberg-Corncrib contraption for trapping pigeons at No. 3. May you be as successful in your agricul- tural future as you were in your feathered hobby. ■4 16 y. ALBERT BECKER .4 Greenhouse Age 20 Philadelphia, Pa. West Philadelphia High He hath a heart, a big heart. — Marlowe. Freshman Year: Manager, Class Baseball; Manager, Class Football; Interdorm Basketball, Veteri- nary Club. Junior Year: Assistant, Varsity Basketball Manager; Interdorm Basketball, Veterinary Club. Senior Year: Varsity Basketball Manager, A. A. Board, Varsity Club. Spontaneity of wit was his crowning virtue. This combined with his never failing cheer- fulness and glibness of tongue helps to stamp Al as one of the gang. Al is intimately familiar with every nook, cranny, and shelf in the library con- taining works of Elinor Glyn, De Mau- passant and Jim Tully. These have probably been the sources of his warnings of the pit- falls of youth. Al ' s reputation as a manager was established when he assumed his duties for our class baseball team in our first year. Ever since then he has held almost all class managerships available. May you manage your future as successfully. IRVING BROOKS Sniff Floriculture Age 21 Boston, Mass. Dorchester High As merry as the day is long. — Shakespeare- Freshman Year: Varsity Baseball, Varsity Basketball Squad, Varsity Club, Honorable Mention, Green and Gold Meet; Orchestra. Class Basketball, Junior Year: Varsity Baseball, Varsity Basketball Squad, Varsity Club, Silver Medal, Green and Gold Meet; Class Basketball, Orches- tra, Veterinary Society. Senior Year: Varsity Baseball, Varsity Basketball, Varsity Club, Band, Bridge Club. Down from the land of pork and beans comes our conquering hero. Sport Gazeteer, women connoisseur, musical critic and artist, press agent, and cheering squad, are only a few of this Bostonian ' s attributes. Sniff plays baseball like a pro., the trumpet like Red Nichols, and is an in- stinctive player of every conceivable kind of instrument from Jungle Tom-Tom, to Xylophone and Jews Harp. And correspond- ence — like a sailor he has a girl in every port. There ' s no question about it Sniffer , — your happy-go-lucky lingo will carry you through. ■4 17 I . SAMUEL M. BROWN Sam Landscape Age 21 New York City Murray Hill School Quiet, cautious, but with the crowd. — 0. Henry. Freshman Year: Interdorm Baseball, Interdorm Basket- ball, Natural Science Club. Junior Year: Horticultural Society, Interdorm Baseball, Interdorm Basketball, Ways and Means Committee. Senior Year: Horticultural Society, Interdorm Baseball, Interdorm Basketball, Ways and Means Committee. Sam ' s tonsorial results, combined with his landscaping ability, helped produce a most artistic effect on many a student ' s dome. But all kiddin ' aside Sam , you cer- tainly do know your Salisburia adiantifolia when it comes to improving on Ma nature. Quietly and unobtrusively Sam has won his way to our hearts (and often to our pockets); you may be a pessimist but we hope that your future may be indicative of the words, Pessimism hath her virtues. ROBERT CATHERWOOD Bob Farm Machinery Age 21 New York City DeWitt Clinton High I ' ve always noticed great success Is mixed with troubles more or less. — 0. Henry. Freshman Yeah: Class Football, Class Boxing, Vigilance Committee. Junior Year: Class Boxing, Class Football, Class Basket- ball, Vice-President of Class, Varsity Basketball Squad. Senior Year: Vice-President of Class, Varsity Basketball Squad, S. S. A. Committee, Dramatic Club, Coach of Junior Boxin„ Team. Always in trouble, — always gets out of it. That ' s Bob. And listen now, — you ' ll be a big man some day. We wonder if your height has had anything to do with your ability as tractor technician. You ' d better land a good paying job to keep those legs of yours in pants. Bob has the reputation of having had more vacation than anyone else in the Senior Class, he being the inimitable French-leave artist. And many ' s the call he ' s paid the Dean. Let us hear from vou, Bob . -4 18 {=•■ SOLOMON COLTON Sol Horticulture Age 19 Jersey City, N. J. Dickinson High He is gifted with genius who knoweth ■much by natural talent. — Abraham Cowley. Freshman Year: Horticultural Society, Orchestra. Junior Year: Orchestra, Horticultural Society, Natural Science Club. Senior Year: Band, Orchestra, Interdorm Basketball. We take great pleasure in presenting for your approval, none other than Sol Colton, the inventive genius of the age. Sol has contrived more contraption for the practical conservation of human energy and waste motion, than Edison. Sol possesses the rarest collection of bone-dry jokes ever cracked by anyone from Punxsutawney to Oshkosh. But nobody can kid him about his music because he ' s followed the band wagon ever since he was knee high to a mouth organ. You ' ve got the pep, vim, vigor and vitality, so we know you ' ll succeed. Why not keep us in mind. HARRY DUBROW Dvby Horticulture Age 18 New York City Commercial High By repeated blows the oak is felled. — Benjamin Franklin. Freshman Year: Interdorm Basketball, Dairy Club, Natural Science Club. Junior Year: Horticultural Club, Interdorm Baseball, Interdorm Basketball. Senior Year: Horticultural Club. A plugger with the determined persever- ance of a Horatio Alger hero, this lad has spent three profitable years at N. F. S. As a pomologist Harry ranks with the best; in fact, he was very instrumental in bringing about the bumper fruit crop this past season. Now listen; we ' ll let you in on a secret. Sh! Harry is a poet. Well, now that it ' s out we might as well tell you that his beautiful bits of poetry have adorned many a page in the Gleaner. We need not worry about your future, Harry, because you ' ve always taken care of it yourself. Anyway the best of luck to you. -4 19 ■■ SAUL MAXWELL ECKSTEIN Ecky Dairy Age 20 Kansas City, Mo. Kansas High Eccentricity is the characteristic of the genius. — Alfred Crowley. Freshman Yeah: Varsity Football Squad, Veterinary Club, Dairy Club, Natural Science Club. Junior Year: Varsity Football Squad, Veterinary Club, Financial Committee. Senior Year: Varsity Football Team, Financial Com- mittee. This loyal son of Kansas blew into Farm School like a cyclone. He ' s leaving us like a lamb. Of course, we ' ll miss your laughter, your talk, your smile, your cheer, and that rot; but most of all we ' ll miss you — just you. Consistent dependability to the nth degree — that ' s Ecky on the gridiron. For two years he took punishment as a shock absorber on the second team, achieving in his third year a regular berth on the Varsity and most coveted F . If anyone is more accomplished or profi- cient in the science of milk technology — we ' re from Missouri, because Sol certainly knows his butterfat. BENJAMIN ESSRIG Benny Dairy Age 20 Philadelphia, Pa. Germantown High Mightiest powers by deepest calms are fed And sleep, how oft on things that gentlest be. — P. M. Procter. Freshman Year: Dairy Club, Interdorm Basketball. Junior Year: Boosters, Class Baseball, Interdorm Base- ball, Interdorm Basketball. Senior Year: Interdorm Baseball, Interdorm Basketball. Ever since we can remember Benny has been one of those easy come, easy go fellows. Taking life as it came he jested at the seriousness of it all and so walked un- concernedly in bliss. Despite his nonchalant air, however, Ben has managed to absorb the techni- calities of dairy husbandry with a zeal which will insure him success in that line of work. With his own quiet unassuming sense of humor, he will make his w ay through life, as he has until now. 4 20 ! =• F THEODORE FERTIK Teddy Horticulture Age 19 Philadelphia, Pa. Northeast High Men of humour are always in some degree men of genius. Freshman Year: Interdorm Basketball, Varsity Football Squad, Horticulture Club. Junior Year: Interdorm Basketball, Horticultural So- ciety, Varsity Football Squad, Class Foot- ball, Class Basketball. Senior Year: Varsity Football, Varsity Club, Horti- cultural Society, Interdorm Baseball, Interdorm Basketball. A sweet, sighing drawl, terminating with a characteristic, Oh, Lawdy, comes floating through the breezes, tickles our ears, and floats on. It must be Theodore; is that you, Teddy ? Yas suh! heah I is! And lo! we behold a brightly freckled face, enshrouded in a mask of a laugh-provoking pathos. Though his feet are large, his heart is larger and we will always remember him as a sincere and loyal pal. Miss Churchman claims he ought to be president, — he ' s so prompt in returning library books. We, however, predict a more enjoyable future for him — that of a peach grower. S ' long Ted . STANLEY FIDELGOLTZ Fido Dairy Age 20 Brooklyn, N. Y. Boys ' High School Here ' s my hand — With my heart in it. — Shakespeare. Freshman Year: Varsity Football, Class Baseball, Class Boxing Team, Class Sergeant-at-Arms, Natural Science Club, Varsity Club. Junior Year: Varsity Football, Varsity Club, Horti- cultural Society, Treasurer Varsity Club. Senior Year : Vice-President Student Body, President Varsity Club, Secretary Senate, Secretary of Student Council, Gleaner Staff, Yearbook Staff. We pause here and meditate deeply on a personality so pleasant, tolerant, and gener- ous that words seem entirely inadequate for description. It sertainly seems hard, Fido , that we part — that we no longer will enjoy your close and intimate association with us except in our memory. What you have taught us, Stanley, no book will ever print. Through perseverance, scholarship and athletic prowess as seen on the gridiron, you have furnished us with an example of sportsmanship and productive diligence. Even when you have gone we will re- member your soft deliberate drawl with a delightful sense of recollection. -4 21 {=• HERMAN J. FINFER Hymie General Agriculture Age 20 De Witt Clinton High i? call on me. — Bill Nye. New York City Wouldst argv Fbeshman Year: Freshman Class. Junior Year: Junior Class. Senior Year: Senior Class. Hymie ' s three years here have been one continuous discussion with the faculty concerning the rules and regulations. And, although he rarely proved his point, we may admire him for his insistence. As general farmer in the main barn he has been able to learn those fundamental prin- ciples of farming as will enable him to engage in almost any branch of general agriculture. With what you have learned,, Hymie ' added to your subtle bits of philosophy, you will lead in your vocation. We wish you luck. DANIEL Z. GLAZER Dan Poultry Age 19 Stamford, Conn. Massee Prep. School To talk without effort is after all the great charm of talking. — Hare. Freshman Year: Poultry Club, Boosters, Class Baseball, Football, Basketball, Varsity Football Squad. Junior Year: Junior Week Committee, Horticultural Society, Varsity Football, Varsity Club, Class Basketball, Class Baseball, Boxing Team, Boosters, Class Treasurer, Ring Committee. Senior Year: Varsity Football, Varsity Club , Horti- cultural Society, Ways and Means Com- mittee, Band. Quaint New England sent this youth down to us — and it did not take us long to know him. His gaiety helped gain for him a circle of friends to whom he gave confidence and from whom he received confidence. Perhaps he conveyed his jollity to his Poultry flock because the department cer- tainly did prosper under his management. Here ' s one boy who was an energetic worker. His whole heart and soul were centered in whatever he did, and his future is not to be feared. -4 22 f- Wtar.- .. WILLIAM V. GOODSTEIN Bill Horticulture Age 19 Brooklyn, N. Y. Boys ' High School And I want a taste of the wanderer ' s life Along the trail to somewhere. — Victor. Freshman Year: Natural Science Club, Orchestra, Veteri- nary Club, Class Football. Junior Year: Horticultural Society, Veterinary Club, Class Treasurer, Varsity Football Squad, Gleaner, Orchestra, Class Football. Senior Year: Horticultural Society, Bridge Club. This rising young Byron needs no intro- duction. When he first entered the portals of our Alma Mater his poetical genius mani- fested itself and his sonnets will ever bring to our memories peaceful moments spent with the Gleaner. Beneath his calm demeanor lies the big soul of the nature lover — trapper — sportsman, supplying, perhaps, the source of his poetic inspiration. Unlike many poets, Victor , as is his nom de plume, derives as much pleasure from physical as well as mental exertion. Faithful in his labor, and keenly absorbed in his pro- ject, he has made a reputation which we believe he will live up to, if not exceed, in the years to come. GEORGE HAINES Fats Floriculture Age 19 Philadelphia, Pa. Northeast High But if thou wilt have me love, and it must be a she, The only argument can move is that she love me. — Alexander Brome. Freshman Year: Bridge Club. Junior Year: Class Football, Horticultural Society, Boosters. Senior Year: Chess and Checker Club, Bridge Club. Once upon a time there was a little fat boy in Farm School. And he grew, and he grew, and he grew until he could grow no more. So our little George didn ' t like the cold weather, and he took up his headquarters in the hothouse. There amid the botanical background in the atmosphere of the florescence of sweet peas, and carnations, he blossomed forth into the accomplished floriculturist that he is. May your life be a path of roses. -4 23 =•■ F ALBERT HOGUET, JR. Bud Dairying Age 22 Norwood, Pa. . Glen-Nor High His form was of the manliest beauty — His heart was kind and soft. — Charles Dibden. Freshman Year: Varsity Football, Varsity Basketball, Varsity Club. Junior Year: Senate, Horticultural Society, Financial Committee, Varsity Baseball, Football and Basketball; Secretary of Varsity Club, Class Coach in three sports. Senior Year: Captain, Varsity Football; Varsity Base- ball, Varsity Basketball, Vice-President of Varsity Club, Financial Committee, Fresh- man Coach in four sports, Treasurer, Horticultural Society, Freshman Class Adviser. Recipient of Freshman Class Award for work as adviser. Senate. Bud takes back home a brilliant record of scholastic and athletic achievements which go down in the history of N. F. S. And we may be proud to say in years to come, I knew him when — A eulogy of Bud through mere pen or words could never do justice to this un- usual character. His modest and obliging nature helps knit him to us with a bond of everlasting friendship. Independence was his crowning virtue, and we may safely predict that Albert W. Hoguet, Jr., will take his place among the leaders of men. CARL W. JUNG ' •Dutch Floriculture Age 19 Philadelphia, Pa. Northeast High He who has a ready smile Makes this life a game worth while — — Oliver Wendell Holmes. Freshman Year: Captain, Class Football; Class Basketball, Varsity Baseball Squad, Varsity Football Squad, Veterinary Club. Vigilance Com- mittee, Green and Gold Meet Silver Medal. Junior Year: Varsity Football, Varsity Basketball, Class Baseball, Boosters, Horticulture Club, Varsity Club, Veterinary Club, Junior Week Committee. Senior Year: Varsitv Baseball, Varsity Football, Varsity Basketball, Varsity Club, S. S. A. Com- mittee, Athletic Scholastic Prize. Just a darn good fellow. Always ready with a hearty handshake of real fellowship and a. million dollar smile. When Carl in his gridiron togs dashes down the field, he is the perfect answer to a maiden ' s prayer. Those of us who can recall those old fash- ioned moonlight trysts with the freshies, will always remember Dutch as an eager participant in the proceedings, always evading detection and always prepared for another bit of mischievousness. Carl! a bit of advice. Lose that adorable shyness of yours because some sweet little girl will capture your great big heart in the end. Keep smiling. ■4 24 f- ALFRED KISS1LEFF Kiss Dairy Age 20 Philadelphia, Pa. Germantown High Young men we love for what They promise to be. — Goethe. Freshman Year: Class Baseball, Natural Science Club. Junior Year: Class Secretary, Manager, Orchestra; Vet- erinary Club, Junior Prom Committee. Senior Year: Class Secretary, Student Council, A. A. Board, Horticultural Society, Yearbook Staff. Kiss left us once, but we found it hard to get along without him. He returned to our midst and he ' s been with us heart and soul ever since. His executive ability placed him high in the estimation of his schoolmates, who were quick to show their appreciation by electing him to the responsible offices he has held. The increased productions last year at the barns are indicative of his capabilities as a dairyman, and his interest along this line warrants his success. IRVING D. KOLTNOW Duke Floriculture Age 20 Akron, Ohio West High His words were precious; His jokes were jewels. — Ralph Dwyer. Freshman Year: Class Football, Varsity Football Squad, Interdormitory Basketball. Junior Year: Circulation Manager, Gleaner; Class Foot- ball, Varsity Football Squad, Horticulture Club, Interdorm Basketball, Class Boxing Team, Financial Committee. Senior Year: Business Manager, Gleaner; Year Book Staff, Horticulture Club, A. A. Store Manager, S. S. A. Committee, Financial Committee. Duke is a typical product of Akron, the rubber center. He can never be left down for long, but like rubber, always bounces up. He is an irrepressible humorist and no joke ever uttered in his presence fails to find its way in the proverbial little red book . His cherubic countenance and baby talk seemed to offer irresisitible attractions for the opposite sex. They fall for him so fast and heavy that Duke ofttimes requires a horde of secretaries to take care of his correspondence. Notwithstanding his liking for women Duke still is a regular fellow and can mix with the best of them. We need have no qualms as to Duke ' s future success, be his line of endeavor what it may. -4 25 ! =•■ JOSEPH J. KOVARICK, JR. Joe Farm Machinery Age 20 Manhattan, N. Y.

Senior Year: Council, Senate; Varsity Baseball Manager; Varsity Club, Gleaner and Year Book Staff, S. S. A. Committee, Ways and Means Committee, President, A. A.: A. A. Board, Dramatic Club. Joe is one of those rare examples, illustrative of the fact that a fellow can be a good student and yet mighty popular at the same time. He was actively engaged in almost all school affairs (and some of his own). His personality has secured for him many staunch and lifelong friends. His winning smile, his good nature, and his earnestness will carry him through many a crucial moment. When Joe smokes his cigarettes in that nonchalant manner of his, his Bohemian nature comes to the surface. But underneath it all we know it ' s you, Joe . BENJAMIN LAMPERT Benny General Agriculture Age 19 Cleveland, Ohio Kunard Junior High He that is merry at heart hath a continual feast. — Bible. Freshman Year: Horticultural Society, Class Boxing Team, Interdorm Basketball. Junior Year: Horticultural Society. Senior Year: Dramatic Club, Horticultural Society. Ben came here as a dainty little thing, but since his advent in our midst, he has grown in more ways than one. He has acquired a worldly-wise and sophisticated air which will act as an asset to him in later life. He is a fan in certain indoor games. Be- tween his search for knowledge and his participation in these so-called indoor sports, he has been kept rather busy. Yet Ben is at all times ready to lend a helping hand. His good nature and willing- ness to please are two factors which will go a long way toward placing him on the road to success. ■4 26 h BENJAMIN LAZAROWITZ Lizzie General Agriculture Age 18 Cleveland, Ohio Central High Though the road was hard — He plodded on. — Hamlin Garland. Freshman Yeah: Class Football, Baseball, Captain of Basketball, Varsity Football Squad, Var- sity Basketball Squad. Junior Year: Varsity Football Squad, Varsity Basket- ball, Class Baseball, Class Football, Captain, Varsity Club. Senior Year: S. S. A. Committee, Varsity Football, Varsity Basketball, Varsity Club, Athletic Scholastic Prize. Lizzie is small in stature, but large in prowess. During his three years here in his participation in sports he has proven the worth of the statement that all good things come in small packages. It did our hearts good to listen to the signals called by him in that eager, staccato voice of his, or to see him twisting and squirming his tortuous way through the opposing team. Lizzie spent his final year amid the trials and tribulations of the General Agri- cultural Department: then suffering a change of heart, he was seized with a sudden infatua- tion for poultry. We do not know into what line of endeavor you will venture, Lizzie , but you will make out anyway JOSEPH LIEBERNICK John Horticulture Brooklvn, N. Y. Age 21 Commerce High School There is no why, Without a because. — Goethe. Freshman Year: Class Basketball, Class Baseball, Horti- cultural Society, Interdorm Basketball, Natural Science Club. Junior Year: Class Baseball, Class Basketball, Varsity Basketball Squad, Gleaner Staff, Financial Committee, Secretary, Horticulture. Senior Year: Gleaner Staff, President, Horticultural Society; Year Book Staff, Varsity Basket- ball Squad, Executive Committee. John warbled his way into our midst, and after three years of the pleasantest and closest association with us he warbles his way out a ain. He greeted each day with a song and we ' ll always miss his tuneful cheer at break of dawn. It was through John ' s aggressiveness that we all learned the whys and where- fores in classes, for he certainly did ask questions, the answers to which served as bits of illumination to our unenlightened minds. His success here as a vegetable gardener more than vouchsafes his success in the olericultural world. May fame and fortune accompany you through life! 4 27 J=- MAURICE LIPSON IAppy Horticulture Age 19 Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada St. John ' s Tech.

Junior Year: Class Football, Manager, Class Basketball; Horticultural Society, Pennant Committee. Senior Year: President, Horticultural Society; President, Tennis Club; Tennis Manager. This dark, handsome Beau Brummel hails from across the beer border, bringing with him a tang of the northern romance, and a cash of captivating personality. Characteristic of the folk of his land, he possesses an inimitable grace on the ice rinks as well as on the dance floor. Lippy was one of the most efficient and enthusiastic participants in all social activities and his ability in that direction ranks only second to his earnest wooing. Woo his way, he will, into the hearts of manv. SEYMOUR BERNARD LONYAI Lon Poultry Age 19 Glen Ridge, N. Y. Brooklyn Tech. School A ' o man feels a worthier pride than when he has conquered the obstacles to his progress. — Blaine. Freshman Year: Poultry Club, Natural Science Club, Junior Year: Horticulture Club, Bridge Club. Senior Year: Horticulture Club, Natural Science Club. He lived at peace with all mankind. These words describe more aptly than any- thing else this calm, silent character. Sey- mour could always be found in his abode at Lasker Hall, with no cares of the world on his mind, and always offering a smile in greeting. Beneath his unfathomable silence, lay hidden the depth of thought discernible only to those who knew him well. Occasionally his imagination found an outlet in poetry, as exemplified by his contributions to the Gleaner, the most noteworthy of which was Scientific Farming . We wish you success in life. ■4 28 ■ Interdorm Basketball, ERWIN BERNARD LONDON Doc Age 20 Poultry Burlington, Vt. Burlington High School Then give me my work; my blessing. — Joseph Conrad.

Senior Year: Poultry Club, Interdorm Basketball. r Among the wooded hills of picturesque New England verdure Erwin spent his child- hood days. And with the full confidence of youth he came to us and applied his early rugged training to his scholastic subjects. His quaint Vermont brogue added to genial disposition won for him the deep-rooted affection of every one of us. We can ' t say anything about his poultry success because he leaves to Farm School posterity a plant that speaks for itself. JOSEPH GEORGE MARKS Wrenches Farm Machinery Age 19 Brooklyn, N. Y. Boys ' High Wit and humor are his pals. — Mark- Twain. Freshman Year: Natural Science Club. Junior Yeah: Dairy Club. Senior Year : S. S. A. Committee. One of the most clever and impromptu jokesters of the gang was our Joe. When he passed a witticism you laughed — and how. Still he had lots of common sense in his head, and more than once he contributed timely bits of practical suggestions. He was a good student and put earnest efforts with his studies, acquiring at the same time a proficiency in his mechanics. Here ' s hoping, Joe, that you find the sea of life unruffled by winds of adversity. ■4 29 lr- O. BINGHAM MEYERS Bing General Agriculture Age 24 Philadelphia, Pa.

Senior Year: Varsity Football, Varsity Club, Vice- President Horticulture Club, Ways and Means Committee. A farmer in every sense of the word. Bing devoted his Senior year to a study of swine husbandry and general agriculture, to both of which he bent his undivided in- terest and attention. For three years, his large body filled an enormous gap as guard on the football team, playing his most stellar role in his last year. Bing took an active part in every com- mittee of the class, which demanded any bit of handicraft, and he rarely fell short of our expectations. The energetic manner in which Bing applied himself to his work will win him recognition wherever he may be. MORRIS MILLER Morris Horticulture Brooklyn, N. Y.

Senior Year: Vice-President of Class, President Horti- culture Club, S. S. A. Committee, Ways and Means Committee, Financial Com- mittee, Council, Valedictorian. Morris had an extraordinary desire for work, accomplishing his duties in a distin- guished manner. He could be relied upon for anything and everything. He served as an example of diligence to us, gaining for himself the admiration of both the Student Body and Faculty. His brilliancy in scholarship too has made a record which is unsurpassed by any of us. It is unnecessary to say here, Morris , that your life will be one long series of note- worthy achievements. 4 30 f- «F PHILIP C. POLLACHEK Polly Farm Machinery Age 19 Manhattan, N. Y.

Junior Year: Varsity Basketball Squad, Cheer Leader, Horticulture Club, Veterinary Club, Boosters, Interdorm Basketball. Senior Year: Varsity Basketball, Varsity Club, Horti- culture Club, Tennis Team and Club, Interdorm Baseball, and Basketball, Cheer Leader. Polly was one of the Romeos of the class, playing with the hearts of the weaker sex as though they were naught but toys. With all of that, he ' s O. K., neglecting not his studies. f He plays association football with the zest and vigor of the jungle tiger, fighting for possession of the ball with that determined air of his. It is with this same spirit that he throws himself into ever3 ' thing that he does and thereby attracts the attention of all on- lookers. Even in bridge, his favorite indoor sport, he is champion, for even if beaten, he considers it a moral victory. What more can we say than wish this debonair cavalier the heartiest success?

Freshman Yeae: Veterinary Club, Horticultural Club, Class Football, Natural Science Club. Junior Year: Varsity Football, Varsity Club, Horti- cultural Club, Interdorm Baseball and Basketball, Veterinary Club. Senior Year: Varsity Football, Varsity Club, Varsity Baseball and Basketball Squads, Senate. One of the few remaining specimens of big silent men that still exist in the East. This characteristic of his puzzled us to such a degree that he soon earned himself the grim sobriquet Silent . Syd played an outstanding defensive game of football at center, breaking up or intercepting the opponents ' passes with seemingly very little effort. Syd belongs to the modern school of athletes who forget not the brain in the accomplishments through brawn. He has an enviable scholastic record. May the sun shine for you always, literally, figuratively and agriculturally. ■4 31 }r- F LAWRENCE HENRY RICKERT Rick Vegetable Gardening Age 21 Brooklyn, N. Y.

Junior Year: Manager Class Football, Horticultural Club, Assistant Manager Varsity Foot- ball, Orchestra, Interdorm Baseball and Basketball, Boosters ' , Class Basketball. Senior Year: Manager Varsity Football, A. A. Board, Varsity Club, Campus News Reporter, Horticultural Club, Interdorm Baseball and Basketball. This big blonde blue-eyed viking was a serious minded fellow ever on the alert for the latest ideas and innovations in oleri- culture. Despite this ruling interest of his, he still found time for association football and A. A. Room candy eating, in both of which he was a keen adept. In his last year he blossomed forth into the most faithful and tireless manager the football team had ever had, taking in that ca- pacity the hard knocks which was due to every other member of the squad. When you get your farm, Rick , let us hear of its success. EMILE Z. RIVKIN Rip Brooklyn N. Y. Dairy Age 19 Kohut School The best kind of sympathy Is that which bears a hand. — Dumas.

Senior Year: Horticultural Club, Veterinary Club, Wel- fare Manager, A. A. Board, A. A. Store Manager, Varsity Football Squad. Rip was one of the pleasantest fellows in the class. Always vitally interested in one ' s welfare, and sympathetic with one in his troubles, he has made himself quite familiar as the Good Samaritan among us. He rarely opposed us, but energetically agreed with us in our denunciations, and accompanied us in our occasional sighs of reminiscent recollections of old times. This characteristic of agreeableness com- bined with his consuming interest in cattle, will stamp him in the near future as A Farm School Success. =1 32 fc- MEYER RODELS Meyer Genera] Agriculture Age 19 Monticello, N. Y. Monticello High Calm as a water lily — in the pond. — Burroughs. Freshman Year: Varsity Basketball Squad, Poultry Club, Natural Science Club. Junior Year: Varsity Basketball Squad, Bridge Club. Senior Year: Varsity Basketball, Varsity Club, S. S. A. Committee, Bridge Club. Quietly scrupulous to his duties, and pleasantly gentle in his speech, Meyer has travelled in our midst for three years, implanting in our minds the memory of a darn decent chap . As a member of the General Agricultural Department he was one of the most efficient farmers; and it might well be said that he was the lad who put the corn in corn fields. Meyer, your dependability and your application to the tasks before you have made a reputation which you ' re going to live up to in the years to come. HARRY E. ROGIN Mac Horticulture Age 20 Bronx, N.

Junior Year: Gleaner Staff, Horticultural Club, Chess and Checkers Club. Senior Year: Editor-in-Chief of Gleaner Editor of Year- book, Yearbook Staff, S. S. A. Committee, Secretary Horticultural Club. It might be fitting here to offer a eulogy of the man who has been able to produce on the upper lip a few hairs which have been the pride of the class and a brilliant example of what can be produced in fertile regions. Mac ' s natural mastery of dialect mim- icry, combined with his quiet but laugh-pro- voking brevities of wit, has made him an almost indispensable participant in bull sessions of all natures. Despite his activities in these unofficial bull-rests he has had time to publish, as Editor-in-Chief of the Gleaner, a series of publications which certainly are a credit to his efforts. Your captivating personality will carry you through life as it has carried you through w ith us. •4 33 f- F SIDNEY H.

S. A. Committee, Varsity Baseball, Senate. This wee zephyr blew in from Ohio and now dances his way back full of Farm School Fame. Butch proved to be a perfect answer to a coach ' s prayer, being one of the mainstays of our football team in his position at tackle. Many a freshman ' s seat of intellect still smarts from the striking introduction to Big Bertha , wielded by the capable hands of Butch . And the persistence of this time- honored tradition may be traced directly to him. His joviality has made for him an indis- soluble bond of friendship with every one of us, and we ' ll always remember him as our Butch . SIDNEY ROSENBERG Syd Landscape Age 21 Bronx, N. Y.

Syd was one of those who found solace in nature, tramping through the woods and streams with gun on shoulder and knife at belt. Perhaps this love of nature led him to find a haven in landscaping where he spent his last year amid leafy bowers and gay trellises. The stateliness of our buildings and the beautiful dignity of our campus is due directly to the artistic efficiency of Syd . M| It is sometimes said, Syd , that the world knows nothing of its greatest men, but you ' ll make yourself known through your very silence-your accomplishments will speak for you. ■=f 34 js- W LEON ROSENZWEIG Rosy Horticulture Age 23 Philadelphia, Pa.

Stop me if you heard this one, guys — it seems that a travelling salesman — well you know the rest, Steve ' was the living joke book of the class — Irish Jokes, Yiddish Wit, French Humor — he had them all at his finger- tips. Notwithstanding this, when Steve was in the fields he worked, and gained for him- self a good agricultural training. Undoubtedly, Steve will leave a long line of laughing people along the road of life due to the contagion of his humor. Many pleasant years, Steve . ■4 35 f- D.

Dal wove in our hearts a deep-rooted ad- miration for his personality, never seeking any compensation for his efforts in making things pleasant for all. As a member of the Council, various class committees and band leader. Dal proved himself invaluable. We hate to have you go. IRVING SHTKINSHLEIFER Landscape Age 22 Manhattan, N. Y. Herzelia Gymnasium Tel-aviv Palestine By diligence he loins his way. — Carlos Rodrigves. Freshman Year: Natural Science Club, Bridge Club. Junior Year : Class-Flower Committee, Boosters, Horti- cultural Club, Senior Year: Horticultural Club, Memorial Committee. Steiny was a peaceful, quiet, and very studious fellow and a lad of mild disposition. These, combined with his serious and tolerant nature, so distinctive of him, made him a friend of many. From his engrossment in his work, he acquired a keen sense of beauty as evinced by his exhibitions of miniature rock gardens and estates at various functions throughout the year. We have nothing but admiration for this chap. His conscientiousness and ability will place him high in the esteem of his fellow- men. ■4 36 f- JULIUS B. SIGUNICK Jule Horticulture Age 20 Bronx, N. Y.

We never saw much of Jule because of his intense interest in his work and studies. He could usually be found in his room, en- grossed in some literature of agricultural purport. As a vegetable gardener he buckled down, stuck to his job and performed his duties with alacrity. Perhaps it is you we have to blame for the never ending procession of rhubarb and spinach on the dinner tables during the summer months. Keep us informed of your whereabouts, Jule .

Committee, Band, Horticultural Club, Assistant Freshman Football Coach, Coach Junior Boxing Team, Varsity Basketball Squad. From the sunset side of the land where the tall corn grows, drifted this rugged prairie lad, chock full of buoyancy confidence, spice and spunk. And he still is the same old Manny. Manny ' s air of determination won for him in his senior year the position as center on the varsity grid team, where he displayed such grit, pertinacity and earnestness as to secure for him the insignia of athletic ability — the F . His cheerfulness was of a kind which per- vaded the very atmosphere about him, and instilled in every one of us a bit of his radiant spirit.

Although Sugar was young in years he was old in the ways of true friendship and open heartedness. On his face hovered an ever ready smile, betraying his willingness to do good to all. We could not do justice to Phil without mentioning a few words concerning his affair d ' amours. These occasional moments of romance, however, did not at all hamper him in his quest for landscape architectural knowl- edge. He has thus become proficient in both arts. We have nothing but the most sincere and heartfelt wishes for your assured success. Horticultural Society, SOLOMON L.

Sol has been one of the most diligent, faithful, and happy-spirited workers among us, executing with a cheery smile of confi- dence whatever work had to be performed. This characteristic — that of accomplish- ments despite all odds, — he has carried into his classroom studies as well as in his social life. Sol — your good nature — your eager- ness to aid — your sincere loyalty — all these have bound you to us with bands of inde- structible fellowship. 4 38 J - ANDREW HORNER STRANG, JR.

He has, however, not lost his adventuresome and daring spirit, so char- acteristic of him. He was always a warm class supporter. Andy was an accomplished athlete in all major sports, but, due to an untimely attack of appendicitis, he was unable to take active part in varsity athletics during his last year. Forget us not in your days of future fame. F ROY STUHLMAN Bay General Agriculture Age 19 Philadelphia, Pa. Northeast High Implores the passing tribute of a sigh. — Gray.

Once you hear Roy you ' ll agree that he ' s the hottest, fastest, and most syncopatin ' rhymist south of the North Pole. He ' s got it , them and those , in both drum technique and personality.

Junior Year: Veterinary Club, Boosters, Bridge Club. Senior Year: Band, Bridge Club. Nature in her iniquity bestowed upon Nate a small body, but, as if in recom- pense, lent him a dauntless and persevering spirit. It was this spirit, perhaps, which enabled him to overcome the many obstacles which he encountered in his three-year search for agricultural education. We cannot help but admire the interest he displayed in the study of the vain world. He executed his duties with the same keen sense of responsibility which he demonstrated in all of his student activities. Nate — success in the world is awaiting you, go out and take it. JACOB B. TURANSKY Jake Landscape Age 19 New Orleans, La. Isadore Newman Manual Training Originality makes a pleasant companion. — Bacon. Freshman Year: Varsity Football Squad, Class Football. Junior Year: Horticultural Club, Bridge Club. Senior Year: Horticultural Club, Band, Bridge Club. A true representative of the warm Southern hospitality, Jake brought with him a dash of Dixie chivalry, a scent of the cane- brakes, and the characteristic tongue of the South. His keen sense of perception, his con- suming interest in anything astounding or new, and his humored bits of droll originality have characterized him as one of those rare specimens who delight in the unusual. He applied himself to his work in Land- scaping with an earnestness and fervor rarely equalled by any student.

He doesn ' t drink, swear or smoke — he was a friend of all. Well, Phil old boy, you take the cake for potting geraniums. Those nimble fingers of yours couldn ' t resist potting for dear old glory. Phil was always there wherever there was a risk to be run. That joy ride of yours we will never forget. May your days be as calm and colorful as the wonderful project you have selected for your life ' s work. HARRY WEISSMAN Harry General Agriculture Age 19 Brooklyn, N. Y.

Well, Harry , we ' ve got to hand it to you for the splendid piece of work that you managed to perform down at your dear old No. 1. Only with the perseverance of one who loves his toil and daily tasks could such results have been obtained. Many a girl asked to be introduced to that dark-haired youth; and his invigorating per- sonality, added to his uncanny mastery of the harmonica, has won for him the friendship of everyone on the campus. Harrv has been one of the most valuable men on the Gleaner Staff, and the humorous and tragic stories which fell from his pen go down to Farm School Posterity. When your days ' toil comes to a close, Harry , just shut your eyes and remember the good old ' 29 gang, and accept our sincerest wishes for your success. ■4 41 f- F LEON WESHNER Morphy Dairy Age 19 Bronx, N.

The woes of the world rolled off him like water off a duck ' s back, and during many an evening ' s twilight we could find him peacefully at rest. Still we cannot have it in our hearts to begrudge him his moments of repose, for even then his habitual and characteristic grace forsook him not. How we envy that easy-going style of yours with the gang, your feline form on the basket- ball court and on the diamond, and most of all that suave, nonchalant manner you have with the women. Morphy, old pal, may the balance of your days be full of health, wealth, and pros- perity. Natural Science EDWIN E. WOLK Ed Poultry Age 22 Brooklyn, N. Y. Hebrew Tech.

Ed has spoken fewer words during his stay at N. F. S. than any one else in our midst. Yet, we need no words of his to give us an insight into the calm, unruffled, and quiet spoken character of this chap. This lad, too, seems intuitively talented with the art of the pastel, and his beautiful bits of rural scenery, character study picturi- zation, and his decorative designs have adorned many a wall, and many a page in the Gleaner. ■ We know Ed will make out in the Poultry world because his flock here at school proved his successful ability with chickens.

The moon casts her pale beams on a sil- houette of the pines; the waters lap gently on the pebbly shores; the world is enshrouded in a mask of shimmering beauty; and out of the distance comes the silvery plaintive voice of Jesse warbling sweetly his songs of pathos and romance to the night. Jesse is triply endowed with the voice of a nightingale, the soul of an artist, and the subtle strength and irresistible mirth of a circus clown. For three years he has sung, painted and buffooned his way through us, leaving in our memories a picturesque per- sonification of a character. We ' re sorry to see you go, Jesse old boy, and we can say no more than wish you a life of happiness. JULIUS G. WOLK Jule Horticulture Age 22 Brooklyn, X. Y.

This appealing and ardent youth with the rapt expression of innocence is exactly as he looks. His shy and modest nature seemed a source of attraction to many a girl — but alack and alas, — our manly young hero re- fused to fall. He cared for his apples at Xo. 3 with the persevering diligence of a true pomologist, and was one of the most instrumental factors in the production of the bumper crop and in the improvement of the orchard. It might be fitting here to say a word about his baseball prowess, because he cer- tainly could swat the pill. We can wish Jule no better future than that of a horticultural success! -4 43 J ALBERT CLARENCE ZAROE Al Poultry Age 19 Philadelphia, Pa.

Moore Albert Becker Lawrence Rickert (H O RECAPITULATE the work of the Athletic Association Board here in Farm - ■ School during the past year would be a very large task. The work of the mem- bers cannot be measured as mere labor hours or bushels per day, but more by their capable guidance of athletic problems, and time-tested experience on matters familiar only to those who have gone through the mill. With the assistance of Dean Goodling, Mr. Samuels, Mr. Stangel, and Doctor Moore, the Board has done much to solve athletic problems and to create school activity and spirit. ■=!l 50 I=- ATHLETIC To the T)eparting Athletes 1 I TITH the graduation of the 1929 class goes a group of young men 1 1 who, individually and collectively, have distinguished themselves and done honor to the school far above any expectations. It is not necessary to repeat the outstanding records made in the various sports for the past three years, as they have been so obvious as to be almost taken for granted. In view of the success the athletic teams have had, I feel other outstanding characteristics of these men should be mentioned. It is a pleasure to speak in praise of their interest in achievements affecting the school and of the missionary spirit this group demonstrated in helping many of their schoolmates through scholastic and athletic troubles. The natural admira- tion of the student body for men of their ability made their influence in the welfare of the school felt very strongly. Athletically they showed indications of being a very commonsense group of individuals. This was especially shown in the ease with which they were disciplined, undoubtedly realizing that what was told and said was for the welfare of the group individually and collectively. From the practical playing standpoint these young men worked as hard to achieve as is humanly possible. It is also worthy of men- tion that on trips away from home they at all times conducted themselves like gentlemen in every respect, and comments to this effect were often made by the public. Albert Hoguet, Jr., outstandingly active in all sports, has also ranked very high in scholastic standing. The work of Carl Jung in all sports will also long remain in memory as Farm School tradition. Sidney Rosen and Bingham Myers for three years did considerable to give the football team the reputation of having one of the strongest lines in scholastic football. Sol Ekstein, Sydney Rand, Dan Glazer, Manny Silver, and Stanley Fidel- goltz also were important cogs which will be hard to replace on the football team. Ben Lazarowitz as one of the most heady quarterbacks and forwards in basketball, and Weshner, in baseball and basketball, were both valuable mainstays for three years. Roy Stuhlman, Irving Brooks, and Leon Rosen- zweig will be missed when the call for baseball candidates is given. The fol- lowing students are to be complimented for their spirit in trying for the Var- sity squads, although the outlook was not promising. Their efforts were very much appreciated: Phil Weber, Theodore Fertik, Philip Pollachek, Meyer Rodels, and Joseph Liebernick. Just a few final words — the good work that was accomplished is now left behind as a monument. The habits and training derived from your accomplishments here will be necessary in every detail upon going out to make greater achievements in life. Success cannot be attained by resting on past laurels. The remark by John Ruskin that There Are No Kings should be remembered by the remaining classes. But I will say that the boys leaving us were a group of Young Princes. The best wishes of the school for their success go along with them. Samuel B. Samuels. -4 52 • Qaptains ■4 53 ■ Football W . y OOTB ALL, King of Sports, and always the most popular in Farm gi School, brought with it our first initiation into the true meaning of the word spirit. Our record of four defeats in three years will live long in our memories, as will that famous slogan of Coach Samuels: Fighting Hearts, we won ' t be beat! 1926 With practically a full team returning from the previous season, hopes ran high for a successful record. The addition of Bud Hoguet, Butch Rosen, Stanley Fidelgoltz and Bing Myers, from our class, resulted in the vindication of all the hopes and aspirations of the student body. Only two games were lost, one to our ancient rival, P. I. D., and the other to Salesianum School. The tie contest with Wenonah Military Academy will always stand out as a perfect example of that Old Farm School . With three of our star players laid out by injuries the team displayed that indomitable courage and grit that was bound to spell success. The team had the distinction of being the highest scoring Prep School in the East. 1927 A victory over P. I. D.! This long-sought-for achievement finally came our way when we buried our ancient rivals under an avalanche of touchdowns and defeated them by a score of 43-12. It was a fitting conclusion to a won- derful season. Only one game was lost, that by a 6-0 score to the Wenonah Cadets. The wonderful defensive strength of our team was shown time after time when opposing elevens tried to cross our goal line. The grid luminaries of the Twenty-nine class shone brilliantly throughout the entire campaign and to pick out one individual who stands above others would be impossible. Bud Hoguet and Carl Jung in the backfield ran the ends and hit the line to the satisfaction of even such a connoisseur as Coach Samuels. Butch Rosen, Bing Myers, Dan Glazer and Stanley Fidelgoltz performed just as impressively on the line. The 1929 class left behind a record that will be hard to surpass in future years. 1928 It has been said that cooperation ' is the keystone of success. On this statement may be based the great record compiled byjpur team. Playing to- gether with a brand of teamwork, the equarof 4 whieh_is seldomseen, Captain -4 54 f- Bud Hoguet ' s team ran through the most difficult schedule ever attempted here with a record of only one defeat. Defeating eight teams of the calibre of those played, is an achievement worthy of recognition. No praise can be too high for Captain Hoguet and his gridiron warriors, who gave their best through every minute of play. Twenty-nine was ably represented by Bud Hoguet, Dutch Jung, Lizzie Lazarowitz, Butch Rosen, Sid Rand, Bing Myers, Manny Silver, Dan Glazer, Ecky Eckstein, Phil Weber and Lawdy Fertik.

J NTERING Farm School just at the rejuvenation of the national gij sport, as far as this institution was concerned, we feel that our class has contributed in no small measure to the success of the past seasons. Baseball has come to the point of holding its own with our other sports, as far as student support is concerned. 1926 A record of six victories and three defeats marked Twenty-nine ' s first try at Farm School sports. The team played under the unique system of having an acting captain appointed for each contest. Losses to Bordentown Military Institute and Germantown High were shadowed by the brilliance of victories over Brown Prep, Girard College, P. I. D., and Temple Physical Ed. Several members of our class were among the winners of the coveted F . We felt that we were successfully launched on our athletic career at Farm School. 1927 The best season in the history of the school resulted in the awarding of sweaters to the baseball team for the first time in the sport annals of this institution. Morphy Weshner, Roy Stuhlman, Bud Hoguet, and Irving Brooks, by their superior brand of baseball, were responsible in a large part for the thorough success of the season. Ten victories were credited to the team, while only two defeats were marked against them. After eight straight games had been won, we dropped a close decision to the strong Peirce School team. Williamson Trade School, Temple Physical Ed., Germantown High and Taylor School were among the formidable opponents smothered by our ing veterans. 1928 The opening of our Senior Year found us facing the hardest baseball schedule in Farm School. However, under the leadership of Captain Roy Stuhlman, the team finished the difficult season with a record of six games won and four lost . Seven members of our class, namely : Roy Stuhlman, Morphy ■4 57 Jr- Weshner, Irving Brooks, Dutch Jung, Bud Hoguet, Rosy Rosenzweig and Butch Rosen played the entire season as regulars arid won their letter. As it was our first meeting with teams from collegiate ranks, defeats suffered at the hands of Ursinus, Drexel Freshmen, and Rider College may easily be forgotten in the glory of our steps into the ranks of the college team. baseball Records Captain, Stonitsch Manager, Eckstein Coach, S.

Since then basketball teams have risen to occupy a position equal to that of our other athletic teams, due to Coach Samuels. 1927 Our second year of organized basketball found us with only two regulars, Lynch and Stonitsch, returning from the previous season. However, Twenty- nine stepped into the breach and supplied Morphy Weshner and Bud Hoguet, who were immediately assigned to regular berths. The season opened rather auspiciously with a victory over Brown Prep, but the team went into a slump and dropped the next three games. They made a short come-back the next week-end when we trounced our old rival, P. I. D., but following that Burlington High proved our Nemesis and we dropped another game. The season ended with a record of four victories and six defeats. 1928 Our Junior year found us with four men on the basketball team, and the sport took a new lease on life. The playing of Morphy Weshner, Dutch Jung, Bud Hoguet, and Lizzie Lazarawitz helped, to a great extent, to put across a highly successful season. After winning the first two games we journeyed to Pennington and dropped a close decision, on a strange court. We won the next five games and then were outplayed by the high-powered Temple University Phy.-Ed. team. The season ended with a hard earned victory over Fort Washington Prep of New York. Following this we were in- vited to participate in the Penn Tournament and, although we were eliminated in the first game, great praise is due to the quintet for their stellar brand of playing that earned them their invitation. At the close of the season ' ' Morphy ' ' Weshner, was elected to captain the 1929 team. 1929 iUR highest expectations for a successful season were brilliantly fulfilled, when S our fighting team turned in a record of nine victories and one defeat. The only defeat was suffered at the hands of the strong Elizabethtown College quintet. The game was played away from home, which accounts for the victory Elizabethtown was able to eke out by a few points. The team shone brilliantly in a series of decisive victories over Williamson Trade School, Drexel Frosh, Pennsylvania Military Col- lege Frosh, Fort Washington Prep of New York, La Salle Prep and the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy Frosh. Too much praise cannot be given the team for their splendid exhibition of ability, sportsmanship, teamwork, and fight. Captain Morphy Weshner leads the list of outstanding players, but is closely followed by Dutch Jung, Bud Hoguet, Liz Lazarowitz, Meyer Rodels, and Phil Pollachek, all members of the Twenty-nine Class. « z 3 ' Basketball %ecord Captain, Lynch Manager, Tuchman Captain, Elliot Manager, Rosbnman Coach, S.

Hoguet Lazarowitz POLLACHEK RoDELS ■4 62 ■■ CLAx IiT JIUTTOUV Qlass History T HAS been the custom of previous class Historians to introduce their subject with the lurid description of a huddled group of frightened fresh- men about to be initiated into the mysteries and other inconveniences of Farm School life. Of course this history is no exception, but we will begin with the group assembled in Segal Hall to learn the school songs and cheers; with the gentle persuasion of Eagle Joe Miller and Bulldog Freifield we howled our- selves hoarse for two hours. We learned those yells like nobody ' s business. We were freshmen and we knew it. Those who refused to learn them were speedily taught that the wages of sin is S ' DEATH . Our feeling of being underdogs was somewhat dispelled when our first Class contest, the Boxing bouts, was held. Although we lost by the narrow margin of one bout we certainly had the satisfaction of witnessing the scene where some of the unpopular Juniors were mauled around considerably. Our opinions of the bouts would not fail to convince the most skeptical that we won instead of lost, but History must adhere to facts so we will proceed with the story. We can proudly say that our Class still had plenty of fight when baseball season came around. Four of our classmates received the varsity F which indicated a wealth of athletic material of which few classes ever could or ever will boast. The interclass baseball game turned out to be one of our most dis- heartening, but still most disputed experience. After leading the Juniors 9-6 for six innings a series of errors and the timely ringing of the dinner bell allowed the Juniors to win 11-9. The ensuing summer months found us busily engaged in our industrial works. By dint of much hard work we slowly began to digest the fundamentals of agricultural science. Work was just beginning to become irksome when the summer ended. Football season came and went with surprising rapidity. We were all keyed up about the Freshman-Junior football game to be played on December 6. By some freak of nature winter arrived two weeks ahead of schedule and came just in time to turn the gr idiron into a frozen, snow-covered no-man ' s land. After a bitter struggle to play football and keep from being frozen to death the game ended without either registering a single score. A few changes were being made at this time. The faculty was strength- ened with addition of two new members, Mr. Wing and Mr. Fiesser. Christmas Holidays left us free to go home and think over our future possibilities as farmers. Much thinking might have been done but such non- ■4 46 f- sense was soon forgotten. We were eagerly looking forward to the day when we became Juniors. We felt so cocky that in the class basketball game we administered a sound drubbing to the Juniors 18-13. This evened up our score and left us a 500-percentage, which we could increase against the next class. Our year of toil had ended. Heretofore we had found school life more or less of a drudgery. Now in our search for new conquests the scent of Freshmen came in on the breeze. On that breeze floated many interesting seances. One, in particular, we remember, was interrupted by state troopers, but after we convinced the John Laws that we were not 400 men arrived with shot guns and pitchforks , and we were only innocent students holding a pep meeting, we were allowed to continue our moonlight activities on school prop- erty. We finally gave the poor Freshmen a break when we had the Class box- ing bouts by allowing them to win one of the bouts. Dr. Ostrolenk resigned as Director of the school and the faculty organized a discipline committee to curb our somewhat objectionable activities. Early in April Mr. C. L. Goodling of Penn State assumed the duties of Dean, the title of Director having been dropped. Dean Goodling soon asserted his capability by instituting some new systems of class and industrial work which proved very satisfactory. The Freshmen finally broke our series of victories by winning a thrilling baseball game 6-4. Summer came again and we found our hands full with bossing freshmen and getting our own work done. We started planning for the Junior Prom, and after a long wait we finally started to decorate the gym. The gym was changed into a beautiful woodland glade and it was appropriately named Sylvan Nook . The dance was better than was expected by anyone and it still stands as the best dance ever held at Farm School. Football season brought a long string of victories for the Varsity and beautiful, though rather loud, green and gold sweaters were awarded. The inter-class football game played under adverse weather conditions ended 12-6 in favor of the Freshmen. The Annual Corn Show had developed into a Farm Products show, offering competition for all departments. Our last Class battle was keenly contested but the ' 29ers came through with a victory and the Freshmen tasted another defeat 39-30. Our Junior year was rapidly drawing to a close and student body officers were elected just before the end of the school year. The returns showed the ■4 65 Jj=- following elections: Leon Rosenzweig, President of the Student Body; Stanley Fidelgoltz, Vice-President; Joseph Kovarick, President of the A. A. Board; Al Kissileff, Vice-President: Dal Ruch, Secretary and Treasurer; Harry E. Rogin, Editor-in-Chief of the Gleaner. In the Spring of Senior year we elected the following officers to serve throughout our stay at school: President, Rosenzweig; Vice-President, Cather- wood; Treasurer, Ruch; Secretary, Kissileff. Work on future activities was begun early. Our rings were of first im- portance, and after an agreement with the under classmen it was decided to make the design a standard one. A Year Book staff was founded and a Ways and Means Committee appointed and Mr. Samuels was chosen our class adviser. The summer months brought us happy vacations, successful dances and numerous other joys, including Alumni Day on July 4th. We were beginning to realize that the school was, after all, a pleasant place and enjoyable to live in and we were making the most of it. The school band was organized and under the able direction of Dal Ruch it prospered and benefited the school to a huge degree. An enthusiastic ovation was given to the band when its first public appearance was made on June Founder ' s Day. The Doylestown Fair created a buzz of interest in the school when we learned that the band was to perform there for two days and nights. A very creditable showing was made, judging from the applause of the audience, but we had suspicions that the Plotters were instigators of it. The famous ta- daaaaa was rendered at this occasion for the first time and it has since be- come an immortal manifestation of expression at the school. Our own Farm Products Show followed close on the heels of the Doyles- town Fair and it was truly the biggest and best show the school had ever intro- duced. Football season was officially closed with a huge banquet and members of our Class were honored by the faculty and Board with prizes for their athletic prowess The bright lights of fame were focused upon Bud Hoguet, Dutch Jung and Lizzie Lazarowitz. Christmas holidays seemed to bring us closer and closer to graduation. Our last or final splurge before commencement was the Senior Prom. Serious exams kept us in gloomy spirits for a short time but commencement came and we knew our fate was sealed. We were given our diplomas, some advice and, leaving behind our beloved Alma Mater, apprehensively we went out in the wide, wide world, how safe we cannot say. ■4 66 ■• Glass Prophecy WAS never my mother ' s idol nor was I ever idle long. I just bided my time, awaiting what I considered my just dues — recognition of my finan- cial genius. Although pooh-hooed and derided for even harboring such thoughts, I kept mum, a trait I had acquired during my sojourn at the old N.F.S. At last, however, came vindication of my beliefs. My rich uncle, whom I had been banking on for the past ten years, finally decided to reward my patience with a million-dollar legacy. It was now my turn to laugh and I did — loud and heartily. With so much money floating around the problem was, what to do? Here again I showed my good judgment and genius by entrusting it to my broker, Joseph Marks, Esq. My next step was to buy an aeroplane. But for this I decided to consult Catherwood. I had seen him up in the air so often that I naturally thought he was best equipped to explain aerial navigation. At his recommendation I bought one of those Lindy monoplanes. All I lacked now was gasoline, or better yet, petrol, as the English call it. This I procured from Andy Strang, and Al Becker, Inc., against my better judgment, as later events proved. I was now fully equipped, but where to go was a question. Suddenly I had an inspiration, I would look up those of my old N. S. F. comrades who had formed a duchy on some obscure island. With this object in mind I hopped off that very evening. For hours at a stretch I sailed over hill and dale , not knowing where I was or whither I was bound. I merely followed my nose — and I had a substantial one to follow. At last came daylight and I found it necessary to land in order to refuel. I chose as my landing place a picturesque little island. Imagine my chagrin and dismay upon discovering that I was stranded without a drop of gasoline in the tank. The spare cans ought to have been full and they were — but it was water they were filled with. Those two Imps of Satan, back God knows where, had lived up to their reputation. What I called them is unfit to print, but it was strong enough to make even a trooper blush. For a moment I was nonplussed but only for a moment. I immediatel y set out to investigate my surroundings when I saw an enormous wall in the distance; my curiosity aroused, I followed it up and it led to a gate where, wonder of wonders, my search ended. For there, sleeping against the wall, was Silent Dan Glazer, with the sunshine illuminating his open mouth, for all the world like a lamp in a potato cellar . Without awaking him I stepped through the gate and found myself in a beautiful garden. The splendor ■4 68 Il=- of those flowers and shrubs was almost dazzling in its effect. I stood as one entranced. Suddenly I was rudely shaken out of my trance by a piping voice. Say, astronomer, how did you get here? ' I turned around and lo and behold! there was Sam Brown, the old tonsorial artist of N. F. S. Hello, Sammy, old boy, don ' t tell me you belong to this piece of land- scape! I exclaimed. Not exactly, he said blushingly. He blushed I guess just to show there was some red underneath the green. You see, he continued, Shteinshleifer and I are the landscape archi- tects but the Grand Duke, Rosenzweig I, is the real owner. Well, you can strike me pink, I replied, momentarily flabbergasted. But recovering quickly I asked to be led to his Majesty. Sammy dutifully turned me over to Theo Fertik, the Majordomo, who turned me over to Ed. Wolk, who in turn handed me over to Bob Applebaum. Unfortunately, I had never taken up acrobatics and I began to get dizzy from these turnover tactics. At last, however, I found myself in the presence of His Excellency. I always knew he was a great hand at making folks comfortable, but the greeting he gave me was one that would make even a cake of ice feel at home on a hot stove. Divest your vest, he commanded, and make yourself at home. Jung, he said, turning to one of the courtiers, have Dal Ruch and Roy Stuhlman strike up Mendelssohn ' s Wedding March. This is a special occasion and we must do it justice. However, not feeling in the mood for music, I walked over to the Ducal vineyards, where Morris Miller, the Head Vintner, and as tough a martinet as any captain at sea, was doing his best to keep Morphey Weshner and Mac Rogin stirring. He was afraid that if they stood still too long, they ivould turn to sugar and somebody would eat them. On the way back to the palace, I was assaulted by the grandest flow of gritty language I had ever lent an ear to. It came from Steve Rubenstein, the Equerry, and Dr. Rosen, the Vet. Apparently, they were just having an a miable discussion about the ailment of a little piggy. Though shocked, I navigated around them and found myself gazing at an enormous hennery which was gracing or disgracing the rear of the palace. It was built, as I found out later, by Doc London and Al Zaroe, the Imperial Hen-house Specialists. Tankenbaum had helped, but all he got was a lot of sympathy and a five cent cigar to pay him for his trouble. He didn ' t really appreciate the sympathy till he started to smoke the cigar. Ben Lazarowitz conducted the production and from all indications he was hitting it up mighty fine with the hens. His slogan was An egg a day keeps the hatchet away. -4 69 J=- When I reached the royal residence, everything was hustle and bustle. Chancellor Fidelgoltz had just made public the announcement of the engage- ment of Prince Kovarick of Bohemia to Princess Rosamond, the Grand Duke ' s daughter. Ambassador Kissileff clucked with joy for hadn ' t he brought it about through the agency of Lord Rosenberg? Only Baron Sigunick and Bud Hoguet, the Ministers of Finance, were going around with drawn faces: Sigunick because he disapproved of the match and Hoguet because he was wondering where the money was to come from to pay for the wedding, which was to take place on the following day. When it was announced that, in celebration of this event, a grand feast was to be held that night, Maurice Lipson, the pompous Head Steward, was in his element. He began to strut around and to give orders to his assistants, Messrs. Rivkin, Essrig andFinfer, with a gusto that was worthy a better cause. At eight o ' clock sharp, Courier Colton sounded a long, mellow trumpet call announcing the approach of the Grand Duke Rosenzweig I. To protect the Royal Duke from the stings and arrows of outrageous fortune, distinguished members of the Royal Guard surrounded him. Captains Beck and Soskin made up the vanguard and Lieutenants Lampert and Snyder brought up the rear. As this royal assemblage filed into the dining room, I was attracted to two heavily laden figures. The shorter one, Bill Goodstein, carried an enor- mous mop of hair encircled with a wreath of flowers, probably emblematic of his position of poet laureate. The other figure was Admiral James Rickert, who carried nothing but his temper, but he hadn ' t forgotten any of that. It appeared that his brother officer, Rear-Admiral Weber, was to blame for this, having just beaten Admiral Rickert in the gentle art of repartee. At first the atmosphere in the great hall was strained, but Jesse Wolk, the Court Jester, soon put everybody at ease. As luck would have it, I found my- self seated alongside of Silent Sid Rand, the dreaded head of the Imperial Secret Service. I tried to worm some State secrets out of him but all I got for my trouble was increased tonsilar activity. In despair, I turned to Duke Koltnow on my left, who immediately floored me with one of his aboriginal wise cracks. The banquet was a roaring success from the start. Manny Silver, as the King ' s Taster, shone brilliantly. His discriminating and genteel tastes were only rivaled by Bing Meyers, the celebrated Epicure. For a time they occupied the center of the stage, and incidentally themselves, until Harry Weissman, the Court Troubadour and Minstrel, volunteered to play Fantasie Melod ' que , on his inimitable instrument, the Jar-Monica . Where the melody came from was a mystery to me, though I could readily understand the phantasy part of it. At any rate, it gave the royal assemblage an excuse to disband and get some much needed sleep. {Continued o n page 79) ■4 70 •• ' The Qleaner Editor-in-Chief, Harry E. Rogin Irving D.

Although ordinarily not a strict censor, I now immediately sensed something wrong. Dressing hurriedly I descended to the main hall where, in place of last night ' s picnic, I now found a panic. Cornering Captain Lonyai, I demanded an explanation, and learned that the Princess had been mysteriously and inexplicably abducted during the night. With but a single life to give for my former classmates, I never hesitated for a moment, but embarked single handed to solve the mystery. Prince Kovarik insisted that his left-handed man, Colonel Meyers Rodels, accompany me but I refused. Instead I chose as my assistants, Count Julius Wolk, who, although unable to successfully grow any hair on his head, similarly never al- lowed any grass to grow under his feet . My choice of assistants was a lucky one for before two hours had elapsed we had safely delivered the Princess to the yearning arms of her betrothed. As for the culprits — Brooks, Pollachek, and Haines — they were captured and the machinery of the law set in motion by the Honorable Harry Dubrow, the implacable prosecuting attorney. To add spice to the proceedings the defendants were given the services of the eloquent Solomon Eckstein, a criminal lawyer of no mean ability. For a time it was nip and tuck but Dubrow ' s superior condition, due to a rigid diet of hal-vah and dates finally proved too much for the great Solomon. Jake Turansky, the Judge advocate, being a lover of animals and canaries, sympathized with the doomed men and offered them the choice of a rope or a chair. They refused the rope claiming that they did not smoke the weed. The chair they graciously accepted, that is, all but Haines who, through some high and mighty influence, was permitted to go free. In time he grew to be a great man with enlarged joints. Thus ended the abduction escapade. On the afternoon of the same day, the marriage ceremony was performed. For their honeymoon the newlyweds planned a long aeroplane trip. Now there being nothing to keep me here and being essentially a man of action, I decided to accompany them in my little monoplane. Accordingly we hopped off together that very same day t o the inspiring tune, of the national anthem, The Green and Gold.
