Milton Werrin CLASS PRESIDENT— EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Dairy Department HE work of those members of the Class of 1930 who chose Dairying for their project, has been outstanding in many respects. That they couUi visuahze dairying as a prospective vocation in Hfe, and also possessed a real love for good animals is a foregone conclusion, since it is almost impossible to nuuntain interest in dairying without these qualities. The work of the majors in dairying, along both practical and theoretical phases, has been unflagging, almost without exception, and much of what- ever success the dairy department has achieved during the past year must be attributed to their sincere and tireless interest. Steady improvement along all lines of dairy work has been shown through- out the year by practically all members of the Class. ISIuch of the credit for a working knowledge of that most important phase of dairying, the practical side, which has been achievetl by members of the Class, must go to the herds- man, Mr. F. E. Cooke, who by his untiring efforts has pointed out the weak- nesses of each student, and offered an opportunity for each member of the class to become strong where he was weak. With continued attention to tletail and constant effort to improve them- selves when out on individual jobs, there is no reason why the members of the Class of 1930 should not nuike a record as efficient and capable dairymen.

Sammy is a hard-working man with a ready smile for everybody ' . Horatio . lger heroes were his teachers. Sam believes he is going to be President of the Lnited States if he works harder than he does and that ' s saying a lot. The day is too short for Sam , he loves his cows and enjoys the rich milk they produce. The whole world loves a lover, and Sam is one of the lovers of humanity. He likes to play with boys (and cows) ; loves to play the piano, and greatest of his loves is to tickle everybody he meets, friends or foes. Ticklingly he will advance in his life as a dair Tnan, and what a dairyman he will make, even though he only applies one-halt his energy. ■F ALBERT FRANCIS GYSLING Whltey Dairv Age 2;!

No team could brag of a more all-around athlete as Al. A man of few words, but the few that were spoken had power behind them. They say a wise man is a man of few words and this fits Whitey precisely. Our hearts swell with pride when football and football men are discussed for we have our dear friend Al to back our arguments with. If you play a stellar game in the outside world as you have done here, your attainments will be limitless. -4 15 I - MARTIX LAHRER Moe Dairy Age 20 Central High Philadelphia. Pa.

Senior Y ' ear: Orchestra, School Band, Dairy Club. Moe was the outstanding man in our class, provided he stood in a crowd. For a fellow to be so tall and to have so much talent musically, we often wondered why this .strange combination. But such is such. He likes to play his piano and clarinet, as a baby craves for milk. We often wondered how a fellow so talented ever took up Dairying for his life ' s work, but we imagine the musical business must be in bad circum- stances in the city. As a dairj-man he is on as high a plane as he is in music. If you apply the same prin- ciples to your life ' s work as you do when you practice, your Alma Mater and Classmates will be proud of you.

Austere and reseryed, old Bill , could never po.se for a Collar Ad; but if prizes were offered for philosophical thinking and craftsmanship Bill would win many a coveted laurel. Here among the green fields and pastures he found the proper environment for his broad mind and under these influences he has flourished. While not exactly active in any student life, except athletics, Bill has managed to make his years spent here very fruitful. His interest in Dairying will win him eventual recognition in this line of work. NATHAN SMIEL Smiles Dairy Age 19 De Witt Clinton High New York City We grant, althonijh he had much wit.

Senior Y ' ear: Dairy Club, Horticultural Society. Smiles is one of the bashful members of our class, but needless to say his scholastic work brought the two scores to par. Being quite a famed horseman, an exhibition was staged at Number 7 and Mr. Samuels judged. The final outcome was the reward of a model name for our young Smiles ' . If he could ride into the Campus ' Crimelight on board a horse surely can he well ride into the limelight on his famous Guernsey Cows.

To describe him successfully is not a very hard problem for one is immediately struck by those heavy glasses and bushy hair that refuses to stay combed back. He is that gentleman of antipose approximation whom anyone can find at an -time twisting the dials of his radio up in Room 30. He is extremely talented musically. The instrument has not been invented that he can ' t play. Irv s ' only other interest (unless he is keeping something back, and we ' re sure he isl is the raising of Champion Producing Cattle.

For a fellow of his stature he could hit a ball and buck a line like nobody ' s business. His athletic record is one which he can boast of without exaggerating in the least. Beside being an athlete par excellence Sam was our chief go-getter and sug- gestion giver; at many of our class meetings a suggestion was given which improved things concerned.

I beHe -e credit is due a boy who knowingly chooses work that requires long hours and dirty hands and clothes. All the boys knew these conditions before they made their choice and lived under them without complaint. Their attitude allowed us to accomplish more work together antl made the duties of an instructor more enjoyable. I am sure that they are ready to offer their new em- ployers the same enthusiasm they brought to their work last year. By dealing fairly nth their employers they can avoid many of the restrictions imposed upon a hired man. My last wish is for their Success. Walter GROiUX, Head ofDepariinent. «of KENNETH F.

What a hearty laugh he would send forth into the wilds of Farm School fields when he pulled a tractor out of a nice big mud hole! Ken was a baseball and strong arm football man. Oh, oh, how his opponents shivered when Ken ' s angelic face, turned into a Mephistophelean sneer, and he hit the line!

Many of us will remember Si as the master of ceremonies in Segal Hall through- out his Freshman year. Many pranks can be traced to his door which bring memories back to us. Si carried our class banner high in our inter-class tilts with the Juniors and later with the Frosh; he was by no means a small figure in representing our class in activities. In his last year at N. F. S. we find Si wo ' rking in the Farm Machinery Depart- ment under Mr. Groman who was quite fond of Si ' s cheery ways (?). As football season rolled around we could hear him barking signals for the varsity. A good deal of credit is due to him for our undefeated season. Continue in your ways in combining sport with work and the world will be bettered. J. EDWARD SEIPP Farm Machinery Age 22 Frankford High Philadelphia, Pa.

Ed must be a combination of ten other fellows, he has all the good qualities which ten ordinary men possess. Straight forward, studious, a keen sense of humor and above all a conscientious young man. When better and more profitable farms will be made Eddie will make them. He was without the slightest doubt the best farmer in the Farm School. Besides being an ardent Aggie his record on the football field will long be remembered, and has already gone down into the traditions of N. F. S. Ed , invite us for a Class Reunion on your own farm so that we can be taught how a farm should be managed. ■:!l 22 1 =- JONATHON SILVERMAN Johnny Farm Machinery Age 19 Commerce High New York, N. Y.

We trust that some of these eloquent actions and words of Mr. Groman weren ' t wasted, as most would think. John has improved vastly since arriving at school; he now has a repertoire of wise sayings to dispense upon occasion. He is also able to hold lengthy discourse upon the activities of his tractor, to anyone interested. Silverman has all of the above character- istics i)lus a few more such as Ladies ' man , etc., but when we come down to it Johnny is a good worker, not being possessed of the ability to grasp ideas quickly but is willing to learn and plugs along at a good clip. ■4 23 h Floriculture ' ' HE close contact the instructor maintains M with his pupils gives him plenty of oppor- tunity anil time to judge and comjnire his men.

The . merican stage suffered a great loss when Scotch made up his mind to take farming. Ken is a combination of humor, wit, tragedy, and economy. He loved his pennies and made dollars out of them. The class realizing what qualities he had, made him treasurer. The Dining Room management made him head waiter, to save on the meals, and at Dances he was unanimously elected as the master of ceremonies. He could make a stone weep, a cow give milk, a woman cry and an Englishman laugh. The school will lose a great fellow when Ken leaves. But never mind, Scotch , the world needs great men, there are so few of them in this world. ■=!l 25 l!=- JEROME S.

Jerry hails from Cleveland, a great city from which a great athlete has been produced. He has been our main stay in the back field for the past two seasons and his remarkable punting and line bucking will be remembered by followers of N. F. S. sports. As a man with the women, .Jerry is on par with the best of them; and his affairs have created a great deal of envy among all who intimately know him. He has not lived for love alone, however, for he has been actively engaged in learning Floriculture, although we must say that the Jewish Hospital has seen more of him than the Greenhouse. But he has learned to mi. sport. Greenhouse and hospital together so that they never interfered. JAME.S McCORKLE Jimmy Floriculture Northeast High Age 20 Philadelphia, Pa.

Apollo had nothing on our Jimmy , for he was the handsomest chap on the campus during his three-year-stay here. Many a musician would give anything to play a clarinet as he does. His sweet tunes made the band wide famed and caused hearty applause at every recital. Besides being a Scotchman he knew how to collect the do- ra-me for the Horticultural Club. Pennies seemed to grow into dollars under his clenched fists. Besides sleeping while attending the boiler, Jimmy was an excellent Greenhouse man. We can credit a great deal of the suc- cess of the department to Jim for he was one of the hardest pluggers we have seen. Keep on making pennies into dollars, for dear old N. F.

He was a Spark Plug that made the machine go. Besides Ben lived up to his orchestra work in the Greenhouse, on the Tennis Courts, and on the Dance floor.

This can be attributed to better yiekls and general management, with the fine cooperation given by the seniors, who have taken their project seriously. Apples anil peaches each yielded bumper crops : 5000 bushels of apples, handpicked and windfalls, were harvested. All the small fruits, as straw- berries, grapes and currants, yielded exceptionally well and proved to be very profitable. Our vegetable cropping has been increased right along and last season was doubled over the previous year. Such crops as lima beans, peas, tomatoes, sweet corn and asparagus paid very well. Due to our large yields and increase in acreage, we had to look for a new way of disposing of our products. This lead to the ilevelopment of the Roadside Market which proved both profit- able and eilucational to those students who operated the stands, showing a new and profitable source for marketing. The graduating seniors of the Horticulture Department should have no trouble in their pursuits if they work as diligently as they have done in the past here at the school. David M.

Lou hails from across the waters; he came to us quietly without stirring a ripple in our midst. He is of a quiet mind and when he has something to say it is always worth listening to. Through the three years spent at the School we have seen him going about his work in his own quiet, reserved way. Never was there a complaint to make about him in his work nor in his scholarship, in which he was beyond reproof, envied by many. Even though Lou hadn ' t partici- pated in any of the School activities as far as atldetics go, yet one feels his accomplish- ments in Horticulture were done in no small way. Farm School can be rightly proud of you; we wish you luck, and if you go at your work as you have done here, there ' s nothing to stop you from attaining the heights of success. -4 30 !!=• RIBIN KAIMAN Rube Horticulture Age 18 Saunders Trade Tuckahoe, N.

We all like Rube ; he was a little boy when he came from a one-horse town, and we watched him grow inch by inch. Farm School made a man out of Rube in three short years. That ' s a record.

Joe Moser is one of the (juiet fellows in our class. Mose hails from Trenton, New Jersey, prohalily that is the reason the desire that vegetalile gardening was upper- most in his minil.

Farm School has been a school of hard knocks but Oz has weathered the many storms and if he uses only half of his persistency towards reaching his goal he can ' t help but make good. Beside being active in various class and club activities Oz is one of the main stays in the trombone section of the Band. Whenever a blue note was needed ' Oz was there to supply it. Oz ' makes no claim to brilliancy but by persistent ai plication of a strong will power he has developed into a man of good reason- ing.

Besides, Morty is a mechanic and many a time have we seen a Chevrolet of ancient vintage with grinning ■ ' Morty behind the wheel, dashing around on local roads. In addition to this Morty proved to be a valiant asset to the Black and Gold cohorts, during the freshman and junior years. He carried his ve rsatility to the Horticultural Department where he proved to be a valuable aid to Mr. Purmell. Morty ' , we ' ll soon be expecting an invitation to a home grown vegetable dinner!

Ever since Joe ' came to school he has been a curiosity, and need it be said that he has been popular (?) particularly with the girls where it was oh! isn ' t he cute! A kiss and still another, while the other fellows stood around and blessed him. We will remember the time when two big fellows picked Joe up so he could put a collar on a horse but now, pooh, the horse has to kneel. Shorty must have used the same appeal on the horses as he had with the ladies. After Shorty had grown a few tenths of an inch and lost curiosit - attractions we still heard of him through the Gleaner and Landscape Department where we are told he was an important personage, a small man and a big guy.

It is not hard to describe this dark-faced smiling-eyed fellow from Russia. He ' s thoroughly acclimated by now, even if he sometimes does revert to type. And in spite of this, Kosh wormed his way into our hearts and leaves the impression of a darn nice, likeable and decent chap. To Kosh , music next to Landscaping was the greatest thing in his life at N. F. S. His efforts in the Band and orchestra proved this. Kosh was also one of our group of admirers of classical music heard through out the day in his room via the radio.

His knowledge of fine arts of Landscape lead him to be judge on the twists and curves of the young ladies that attended our various dances.

It is with pleasure that I look back upon the work produced under their watchfid e ' es and ever-increasing attention always to maintain the proper methods of Poultry production in all its phases. The desire was always there — the accomplishment, repre- sentative of their ability and understanding. It was only natural that they should get results, as reward for their efforts. Our daily contacts have always been highly gratifying, for they were (juick to absorb and apply their knowledge. It was ajjparent very early in the year that here in this group was to be found Reliability, Dependability and Care- fulness, to every detail. To each and every one I wish a very successful career and lots of good luck. Frank H.

Out of the wilds of Oklahoma, to Farm School, came Golden. It is not the first time that Tulsa has contributed her share to us.

Ed has been diligently plodding along at a firm gait. He is well liked by the fellows and was no slouch when it came to work. During the incubation season one would find him walking around half asleep. Ed can tell you the worries those little chicks gave him in attempting to bring them tlu-ough their embryonic stage.

F. S. by the use of a clever ruse: our entire class was herded together like a group of bewildered sheep in the basement of Lasker Hall and escorted with splendor and pomp to the gym. Chaplain C. P. Pishtepel opened the ceremonies for the evening by bestowing upon us a new nomenclature — Nlutts and a barrage of vile smelling eggs saluted our acceptance. Con- fessions were duly made and all transgressions were atoned for, ask the nurse! Fatherly hands applied their blessings upon us at the close of the ceremonies and a good time was hail by some. We righted several wTongs at the first Freshman-Junior contest, the boxing bouts. Although outclassed our banner bearers administered sufficient jars and cuffs to alter for a few days, the facial expressions of some of the Juniors. On April 15, Mr. C. L. Goodling assumed the {wsition of Dean. Mr. Goodling put into effect a new system of class and industrial methods which proved instrumental in providing for the students better facilities toward the mastering of their work. Our curricvdum for the day was often interrupted by hospitable upper classmen who wished to work out of their system any traces of lumbago and stiff joints. They also endeavored to express a vernacular wholly strange to us such as, Bend over and hold ' em ' ' and, Assume the angle, etc. Usually the silent one was appointed by a committee of one to act as calis- tenics adviser. And do you remember the Bulls ' ' who intruded at the Covered Bridge Escapade. On one of these night pilgrimages the State Troopers intruded and our hosts duly explained their mission. To our regrets the officer of Law anil Order didn ' t intercede in our behalf. Pep meetings were none too common and hoarse throats didn ' t mean a tinker ' s cuss. Tea parties were plentiful. Notches on belts testified to the individual ' s rating of the social register book. Several of our classmates made a hit at the Senate meetings, thus acclaiming their success in their quest for recognition. Summer work found us acquainting ourselves with the rigors of field work and volatile dictations of the upper classmen. The wearisome sultry summer months passed with the same rapidity as they came. Our agri- cultural knowledge was somewhat broadened and our spirits enhanced con- siderably. Football season was ushered in liy the luxurious l)anquet by the class for the Student Body and friends of the school. At the close of our team ' s successful football campaign we again met our buxom friends, the Juniors, on the Athletic field, in a football bacchanalia. Inclement weather, rubber- trimmed timepiece whose movement was replaced by Mexican jumping beans, -4 48 J=- and a formidable timo-keoper were the features of this event, i ' he fj,arrulous- ness of our op])()iieiits failed to haini)er our fighting? s])irit, and when the whistle sounde l we left onr fiends in a giddy state of mind ami in a tottering ])()sition in the eyes of the Student Hody, the score being 12-6. To allay their sorrowful plight the jvmiors demonstrated on our seats of learning a practical lesson in wootl products manufacture in the form of tooth ]iick-making out of ordinary fence rails! Traces of that educational instruction were brought to class by several members of our group and the instructors offered no objections to the individuals involved, if they slighted their seats in preference to sup])orting walls. On returning from our Christmas vacation a more zealous attempt toward our school work was manifested. The basketball duel with the Juniors fountl us on the small end at the close of the game. Ye lost by a score of 30-40. Our freshman days were few and numbered; l)ut long in minutes and we were eagerly awaiting the dawn of the day when the role of upper classmen — Juniors — would officially be assumed by us. During the initial period of our school life we learned that Profit ' is not a sage, and Prun the shuts, Ship manoor , etc. permeates the atmosphere in Horticultural classes and dipping honey is not a sweet task. JUNIOR YEAR Happy hearts and soaring ambitions testified to our eagerness to assume the responsibilities of Juniors. Our Freshman attire found decorative resting places on the walls of the various rooms in Ulman Hall. The front walks and entrances, beckoning our approach and the campus, glowed with our merri- ment. The Bull Sessions received an early innovation and served through- out the year to wheedle from us our idle and meddlesome moments. The Night Horsemen (Oarsmen), entertaining a perverted conception of the use of their stout wooden weapons, provided sufficient seasonable esca- pades to fashion a marked impression on fabric and hide. Mr. Samuels arrangeil for the presentation of several duets in the shape and form of boxing bouts which were held in an improvised square circle in the Armory . Our adversaries efficiently kindled the fire of rivalry by creating a gentle breeze which came from their ever fanning gloved fists. After a season of hooks and jabs we emerged the victors over the lowly frosh. The mats made a great hit with several of the participants, boosting the infirmary ' s stock several points for many a day. To allay the caustic effects of our incisive victory over the freshmen, the latter summoned and put into effect all their spirited resources, only to hold us to a draw in these torrid matches. The machine of our class regime was constantly providing new material ■=!l 49 f- for wholesale class discussion, percussion and decisions. Pennants, Class Rings and Pins, the Junior Prom, etc. occupied the major place on the calendar of our schedided meetings. Progress in class endeavors and fulfillments were consistently e •ident. Again the Freshmen were humbled by the neat application of a severe drubbing in the interclass baseball game. For the first time in school inter- class competitive history did a class team emerge unscathed, hitless. scoreless and unsteady. Our job was well done to the tune of 7-0, and, also, when one realizes that only two members of the regular team were present, due to a sudden party in Philadelphia the night before. The inception of the Amalgamated Brotherhood of Hot Xutters ' took place on the fertile grounds of the school campus during the summer months. Their purpose was to sedulously arrange ways and means whereby their allied interests strewn in and about the A icinity of Philadelphia received cordial attention during the week-ends. The Junior Prom held in Woodland Dell on September iDth. 1929, was replete with pastoral beauty and scenic landscape. It was a gala affair and a colossal success, and defies description. The Farm Products Show superseded the Annual Corn Show. AU the Departments were capably represented by the various student organizations — both in display, spirit and for competitive awards. Rivalry between Freshmen and Juniors was growing tensely strong. At the interclass football game we had the privilege of witnessing the newly acquired, determined fighting spirit of the underclassmen. The relentless fury of attack balanced -ith an equal portion of wholesome football acumen outclassed all oiu efforts to repulse their march to victory. Undismayed and fidl of confidence we engaged our rivals in the final scheduled encounter, the basketball game. It was a nip and tuck forty minutes of play in which we emerged victorious by the scant margin of one p oint. Several weeks previous to the termination of the school year the student body entrusted Milton Buck Werrin to be President and Samuel Marcus, Vice- President . We must not pass without mentioning a word about our beloved Mr. and !Mrs. Seipp whose grateful assistance we have always welcomed. We will not forget the many good things they have done for our class. Thus passed a pleasant year, full of happiness and the joy of living in a school which could offer us so much and ask so httle. SENIOR YEAR Another eventful year confronted us. Tri -ial matters no longer crowded our thoughts. We earnestly applied all our efforts to master our projects, thereby ripening the fruit we gleaned in the two previous years. {Continued on page 65} PROPHECV WEATHER Snow and somewhat colder tonight.

Samuels Those Who Have Carried On HIS time of the year usually leaves a pang of sorrow upon realizing M that a group of young men who have ailmirably distinguished them- selves for the School must now sever relations and leave behind pleasant memories of achievement. More creditable is the showing of this group in maintaining the excellent record of achievements and traditions left behind be previous classes, when one considers that these young men were athletes with no outstanding individual being considered as the backbone of any aggregation. The achievement of an undefeated football season for the first time in the history of Farm School, plus the outstanding records made in other sports, speaks well for the results possible only through hard work and cooperation amongst the group. AMiile these accomplishments will be indel- ible in Farm School history and set a high mark for future generations, I -4 56 f:- feel these outgoing, ' men will also leave hehiiul tliein traditions and character- istics just as ini])ortant as the results obtained in athletic contests. They were at all times gentlemen, always working hard, playing hard and having absolute faith in their superiors and the regulations set before them. I feel these latter traits the indirect result of the success obtained, and more than that feel certain that the spirit of such characteristics left behind to the underclassmen will prove invaluable as years go on. Athletically they were what I woidd term a smart group of individuals. Sulking or doubting discipline or orders were not in their make-up. Scholastic- ally and morally, they were a credit to the School at all times and an inspira- tion to their schoolmates and friends. Albert (lysling, as captain of the football team, was outstanding in that sport and will go down in F ' arm School athletic history as being the best cap- tain and smartest all-around linesman in the gridiron sport. The deeds of Jerome Hartenbaum, as captain of the basketball team, and his services to the football team, will remain fresh for many years. His ability as a punter lists him as one of the best in our pigskin history. Russell Broadbent will be hard to replace in all three sports in which he has been active, as will Kenneth Campbell in baseball and football; and Edward Seipp as a center on the football team was far above the average. Si Podolin will always be considered as one of the best all-around quarterbacks ever to represent and uphold the traditions of the green and gold institution. In losing Nate Werrin, Farm School will miss one of the best defensive players in football history; a sure and hard tackle and great all-around defensive player. Sam Wattman, a wonderful example of dogged determination, finally developed into a hard driving, all-around halfback and a strong cog as catcher on the baseball team. Maurice Novin is to be complimented on his dogged deter- mination on the basketball squad and his final achievement as a finished player in his senior year. The same can be said of Samuel Baimian, who was of great value to the football team. The services of Brodsky and Shipman, on the football squad are appreciated, although several misfortunes handicapped them from being in action at all times. Before closing, just a reminder to the outgoing young men that they are leaving behind indelible impressions. They have won the admiration of students, friends and faculty. It must be said also that these men in their athletic activities have been the recipients of many personal rewards, not in the form of gifts and trophies. These men in playing through the athletic seasons have had the opportunity of going through a miniature life of experi- ence. They have experienced disappointments and pleasures, have planned and worked with certain goals in view and were fortunate in being successful. The personal rewards obtained far outweigh anything that has followed in the wake of their athletic glory. S. B. Samuels. ■4 57 Ir- Baseball M JASEBALL. tlic Si)riii ' s mv[ at Farm School, was uplu ' lrl In all its M ;lory in the i)ast three years l)y our class. I ' lioiigh sk) vly losing jironiinence in other schools, baseball is still extremely popular here. Coach Samuels has always put out a winnmg team, even though conditions were not fax ' orable for a successful season. 1927 To the best team in the history of the school, our Class did little to help. Russ Broadbent was the only member of the class to enter the select. Ten victories, under the able generalship of Stud Elliot, to two defeats was the recortl compiled by the hard hitting and fine fielding aggregation of veterans. Though weak in material we showed our fine spirit by backing the team to the limit. 1928 With fiv-e veterans from last year and one of the hardest schedules com- piled we went through a successful season of six games won and four lost. With Roy Stuhlmau at the helm, this team was the first to meet teams from collegiate ranks. Defeats by I rsinus Fresh, Drexel Fresh and Rider Col- lege may be forgotten by our great step upward, which we hope will be pro- longed. Russ Broadbent, who shone at the bag and stick and one of the mainstays of the team, was elected Captain for the 1929 season. 1929 Graduation took all our regulars, we had two veterans left with which to start our season. With plenty of new material from the Junior and Fresh- man classes and the sterling battery of Ken Campbell and Mule Wattman, Coach Samuels had plenty to work with. The fellows plugged ahead and at the end of the season had an extremely enviable record. The Blue Bloods captained by Russ Broadbent had plenty of fight as shown in the Teniple, Drexel and Lansdale games which completely overshadowed our defeats. ■4 59 !;=■ — LJ Football The Spirit of N. F. S. on the gridiron will alwiiy.s re-echo in our minds as one of its finest traditions. 1927 Beat r. 1. D. was the war cry of the 1927 football team and beat them they did! After five years of unsuccessful battliuff a Farm School football team finally sent P. I. D. down to defeat. With Captain Three-yard Cown at the wheel and such stars as Lynch, Elliot, Stonish, Gysling, etc. behind him, the team was practically unstoppable. Only one defeat was chalked up against it — that by a score 6-0 to the formidable Wenonah team. The biggest asset of this team was its wonderfvd defense — team after team tried to break it ilown only to be thrown for a loss. With this team went the largest aggregation of stars we have ever had here. 1928 With plenty of material to draw from. Coach Samuels entered the ' 28 season full of hojies for another victorious year. Under the capable leader- ship of Captain Bud Hoguet, the team had an extremely enviable record of seven victories, one tie, and one defeat — W ' illiamson School spoiled the otherwise perfect record by defeating the Bloodhounds by a 6 to score. This defeat was overshadowed by the splenilid victories against Ursinus Fresh, Drexel Fresh, Trenton Normal, and Keystone Teachers ' School. Whitey Gysling, who played a stellar game at guard, was elected captain for the grid season of 1929. This team really carried out the old maxim, Cooperation is the Keynote to Success. 1929 Ten Straight! The slogan of the 1929 football team — Our Team. Fight- ing hard and playing in coordination, the team piled up victory after victory. Seldom was such playing seen on any field. They were Clipping Fools, Fighting Bulldogs and what not. Not a team faced could put them down and only three teams achieved the almost impossible of crossing our goal line. Starting out with plenty of raw recruits Coach Samuels slowly but surely molded his team to perfection. Starting with Mackenzie and finish- ing with Williamson, the team was unbeatable, scoring 325 points against our opponents ' 25. Gettysburg Academy, Drexel J. V. ' s, Haverford J. V. ' s, Susquehanna J. V. ' s and others of equal calibre fell by the waysid e under the onslaught of the Big Green Bulldog, Captain Whitey Gysling, who led this undefeated team and who played a stellar game at guard, ranks first among the notables. Others of our ' 30 class to make the grade and play on the unbeatable team that claimed the championship of Pennsylvania were: Ed Seipp, Nate Werrin, Si Podolin, Ken Campbell, Jerry Hartenbaum, Mule Wattman, Russ Broadbent, Turk Bauman, Ralph Brodsky, and Bill Shipman. THE WILL TO WIN WTNS •4 61 Ir- t ' Basketball 0 a tluvo ye.irs ' slay at the N. F. S. has revealed to us the abilities of a coaeh to make a successful team out of raw nuiterial, a seemingly hojieless task. The love of the game, and the sport returned, has always kei)t our Basketball Team on a par with the best. 1928 Slowly luit surely N. F. S. ' s basketball teams were reaching the top. The third year of performance in that sport showed a record of eight victories and three defeats. We opened the season with a win and closed with another when our stellar quintet won a hard-earned victory over Ft. Washington Prep, of New York. For our fine showing we were invited to participate in the Pennsylvania Tournament. Although eliminated early we were com- mented upon for our fine display of sportsmanshij). (ireat credit is given to Captain Stud Elliot for bringing this sport into the limelight. 1929 A record to be envied was piled up by the basketball team of 1929; under the generalship of Morphy Weshner, this quintet turned in a card of nine victories and one defeat. The defeat was registered by the strong Elizabeth- town College quintet on their own floor by a few points after a hard struggle. But, in defeat comes victory, and we won the remaining six games by large scores. Our team was lauded for its brilliant showing and decisive victories over such teams as P. M. C. Frosh, Drexel Frosh, Ft. Washington Prep., Osteopathy Frosh. Dribble Hartenbaum who successfully guarded the basket was elected captain for 1930. 1930 Coach Samuels had to build up a new team with the exception of one letterman from last year ' s varsity. The team continuing the fine work of last year ' s (juintet made it twenty straight on our own floor, adding nine this year. Though defeated in a game with P. ]SI. C. Jayvees, our boys put up a great fight ami only after an extra period did they go under. Captain Hartenbaum was always fighting, coaching, cajoling — he was in there all the time and certainly broke up many plays promising for the opponents. Russ Broadbent and Port Novin couldn ' t be held back. Few could get the jump on Russ, and Port as utility man, filled all gaps. Drexel Jayvees, Osteopathy Jayvees, Taylor School, Williamson Trade, and ' others, went down to defeat trying to get through that five-man defense that played as one.

Werrin, President; Samuel Marcus, A ' ice-President; Ted Krause, Secretary, and Scotch Coleman, Treasurer. All four seasons of the year were replete with constructive and enter- taining activity in which our members distinguished themselves prominently. New laurels were gained and commendable records attained. Foremost of these was the unprecedented ITNDEFEATED TEN STRAIGHT FOOT- BALL TEAM, captained by our own Whitey Gysling. Aiding him in his successful conquests were the bulwarks of defense and cyclones of offense, Cy Podolin, Etl Seipp, Dribble Hartenbaun, Porky Werrin, Bullet Wattman, Ken Campbell, Silent Broadbent, Sam Bauman, Bill Shipman, and Al Brod- sky. On December 20th, 1929, was Farm School ' s greatest football victory banquet, tendered to a great team. The chief speakers were men high in the sports world : Coach Stuhldreher, of Villanova College and Joe Cunningham, of the Philadelphia Record. It is with a great deal of pride that we should be the first recipients of three stars on the Allman Football Trophy. {Continued on page SI) ■4 65 J:- ■4 66 Ii=- 1 - ]- -4 «7 I ' - P D D D {[ •m-y-i TviMnr Y °ai KAvc-iaK 5lLeMT y t- - - - +4k ■4 6S l - 4 0!)

There have been inaugurated some new cohunns which have greatly iini)roved the magazine. Forestry Club rlllS is the most recently incubated club on the camfMis; but, despite its short four months hold on life it is rapidly passing through the infancy stage. Much interest is shown l)y the faculty and student body and also by the State Forestry Department, where many new ideas were installed into the club. Members of the organization are very busy now putting the woods into shape. In April a thousand seedlings of different varieties of pines will he jilanted for the future woods of the school. Meetings are held every other week. Speakers are secured, lantern slides and films are shown and all topics in general dealing with forestry are discussed by the members. Much can be expected in the future from this club. Natural Science Club X A school of this type it is only natural that one should take to Nature and study her marvels. This organization is an old one which at times has flourished and then passed out of exi.stence. It is again brought back to the students who love Nature to make the most of it. A club of this sort can be instrumental in developing the real love of Nature and the country. At the present time there is a lull in its activities and it is hoped that it may gain momentum and again flourish as it is fitting for such a club when the warm weather opens up this Spring. The Council ' OOKING back over the days gone by we marvel at the smoothness with which o Student Body affairs have glided along. This was wholly due to the fine work of the Council. They had charge of the decorations and preparation of all the Dances, and Big Day Festivities throughout the year. It was found necessary, to continue the harmony of its work, to increase the membership drawn from the three classes. Our many thanks go to this Student Body organization for the splendid work accomplished. May the on-coming Council follow in the footsteps and continue to carry out the fine work. A. A. Board rllE accoinplisliinents of the A. A. IJoanl were not many, besides the regular procedure of awarding tiie Letters and Numerals for the past season. We have established the Constitution so that for years to come there will not he any trouble in carrying ' out duties of the Board. Altliougli the idea of the Constitution may l)e in an end)ryonic form, the members have great faith tliat the coming years will be guided by its laws and by-laws. Orchestra lyTROM little acorns the mighty oak grows. Such can be ai)plied to our Music - Makers . With little material on hand, Ben Rosenberg molded these beginners into a strong organization. A little sciueak here an l a hot break there tended to make our monthly dances a huge success. Through this column Ben wishes to state that he hopes the remaining orchestrians continue their good work next year. Horticultural Society (j I HE past year for the Horticultural Society has been a successful one from the - • standpoint of material benefit the members derived from it. Under capable leadership the meetings were kept active, and alive with interests. A program for the year was worked out in which the members were active par- ticipants and contributed their share, by talks prepared on various subjects in the field of Horticulture. S])eakers were olitained at various intervals to speak to the club on progressive work of the Horticultural world. Films were procured and shown at the meetings, which proved very educational, and gave the students new ideas on their line of work. The Horticultural Society is a student body creation, developed by students who saw the inestimable value it had for them. To keep such an organization in a pro- gressive state it recjuires the untiring cooperation of its members. May the on- coming Horticulturalists take advantage of such an organization and keep it up to its high standards. Poultry Club (,1 HE past year or so has .seen a great advance in the history of the Poultry Club. - ■ Rising from obscure ranks of the smaller clubs, it now stands equal on footing with the best of the agricultural organizations of the School. Throughout the year we had on our programs various speakers who proved very educational in teaching the members new ideas and methods in the Poultry game. We sincerely regret the loss of Mr. Plain, our sponsor and adviser, and wish to extend our hearty thanks to him who guided us in our infancy. ■4 77 !;=■ .- iw. - Varsity Club 7T AHM Scliool ' s most exclusive organization, the Varsity riuh. was founded in l!)

At tiie beginning of tlie year we had the problem of building this Club with a nucleus of six men from the previous year, to its present enrollment of 29 versatile athletes. Many of the graduating seniors have helped to make 1929- 0 the greatest athletic year of history of the School. To the remaining members, may it be said there is still room for a greater Varsity Club. And let us not forget our motto, We are judged by our deeds! Band rHE Hand is considered to be the strongest and most progressive organization in the School. Recently it has been formed into a consolidated organization, and has made remarkable progress. . banquet was held at which prominent musicians were the guests. During the year concerts were given at various places at Philadelphia, Trenton and other nearby cities. We must remember the Band, playing at all games, was a constant inspiration to our Football Team, and was one of the main stays of the Undefeated Football Team. The Band, to show their appreciation to the outgoing senior members who are the last of the Charter Men of the organization, has awarded tliem pins. Farm School at last has a Band which is par excellence. Dairy Club XEW club in our midst, but its name is widespread over the campus. To the ' y ' j- boys of .SO we owe the origin of the organization. The keen interest mani- fested in dairying caused the club to grow promptly. Throughout the year, instruc- tive talks were given by those competent to speak with authority on Dairying. Literary Society (j Ills organization is given over to a study of the Liberal Arts. At present its - ■ membership is limited, in fact, almost exclusive. But this is due to the newness of the society and the fact that slow growth was thought necessary to give a well laid foundation. It will be open in the future to those who manifest a lasting interest in the Liberal Arts. Meetings have proven stimulating to the members. Topics have ranged from a musical program, through an interesting travelogue and the present status of agri- culture in Palestine, to a first-hand account of the life in Russia, under the Soviet regime. Biographical studies of men prominent in recent affairs, the search of science for a cure for cancer, and a discussion of the Kellog Peace Pact, have also found places on the programs. Each member makes his own choice of topic. =1 79 ■ 2 ' ■ ' ■ ' A = 3 w l - : New York Alumni Chapter of the N. F. S.

Membership Committee. Senior Year {Continued from page 65) The Farm Products Show was held in the newly erected Farm Mechanics Building during the two days previous to Christmas vacation. It was one of novel features in the form of displays and numerous educational exhibits. Preparation for the final exams occupied the greater portion of our time, all our energy, thoughts and efforts. The ordeal was seemingly long as well as taxing. The final week when our stores of agricultural wealth was sounded found us somewhat forlorn but not without optimism. After many w ' eeks of worrying and disillusions and thinking pro and con on the subject we finally were all supplied with our first position in the world of agriculture. The day of days — commencement, braced our inner feelings. The presentation of diplomas was made and the exercises terminated. We left the portals of our Alma ] Iater, sheepskin in one hand and ambition in the other, to claim our places amongst the builders of a blessed and prosperous nation.

CHAIRMAN, Members of the Board, Faculty aiul P ien ls: Jl K We are assembled here to day to commemorate the completion of our course of stud ies here at the Farm School, where we have received a firm foundation in our profession upon which we may, by due application and effort, reach ultimate success. The school has given us everything possible in the way of practical and theoretical education with stress put upon high attain- ment in each. This commencement is a definite mark of transition from three pn)fitable years of agricultural training, to a worthwhile place in actual life. Behind us is the maze of a student ' s life; the studying of the textbook, happiness in our success, and the bitterness of despair in our failure. Then came the spring and the following of the plow, thinking, as youth always will, that we had mastered the art of plowing after the first day. The seed was sown and the harvest reaped, sometimes with infinite care, often with regrettable indifference. At various stages of our school career there have been times when every- thing wasn ' t a path of rose, due to fancied -wTongs present only in our imagina- tions, but these days have passed with the assistance of our instructors. These guiding hands were not always accepted with gratitude on such occasions, but now we are beginning to realize how important they were in the shaping of our liv es; certainly they taught us the lesson of patience and fortitude. All in all our student life was typical of our youth, free from responsibilities, worries, or cares that were worthy of a second thought. Now we are about to leave here, mentally and physically able to seek and hold our place in the world ' s finest occupation. Agriculture. We feel, Mr. Chairman, that this commencement is but the beginning of a series of com- mencements for us. With our training there is no reason why we can not pass from success to success throughoiit our lives. That is the beauty of this com- mencement; or of any commencement. For commencement indicates the power to grow. We can not at this time thoroughly appreciate all that has been done for us here at the school; but as the days go by there will be an increasing respect, admiration and gratitude for the privilege of saying that we are National Farm School graduates. J. Edward Seipp, ' 30. ■4 85 • Salutatory (Tyl ' H. CHAIRMAN. Members of the Board, Ladies and Gentlemen: ■ Ve welcome you here today to join us in our Graduation Exercises. During our three years spent at the school, we have become more firmly convinced of the truth of a statement made by a man of renown that, Civilization begins and ends with the Plow. As we progressed from year to year, any element of doubt as to our choice which may have lurked in our minds has given way to conviction of the rightness of our selection. We rejoice that you are here today to witness an expanding institution. It was during our freshman year that changes were made in the Administration and Curriculum. They were then only in the experimental stage. The old system of classes half day and working half day was dispensed with and there was inaugurated our present system of six weeks of class work and six weeks of practical field work, which has proven very successful. Being freshmen and new to any system, we fell in happily with the scheme and materially aided it in its visualization, as the Faculty has often told us. Increased efficiency in field instruction was accomplished through re- organization. And we are very happy to say that we are the beneficiaries of this system and hence are better equipped than the foregoing classes. Not only in field and class has the advancement occurred, but there has been a steady improvement in campus activities which has been provocative of better fellowship. This fine Ijuilding in which you are now seated will afford still increased op- portunities for the study of Mechanical Arts. The installation of new machin- ery on our still ever-increasing acreage will provide more and better scientific training for future classes. In fact. Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with regret that we leave our Alma Mater when the promise for the future is so bright. However, we are not at all selfish in this respect, for we fervently wish that the National Farm School may continue for generations to come to turn out scientifically trained men to propagate the Farm School Gospel.

The Hoe has been the farmer ' s most vahicd implement since the tilling ' of the soil has been known, and even in this wonderful machine age of ours it is still employed and is wholly indispen- sable. Therefore, the symbol of Agriculture is the Hoe. Since 1901 the Hoe has been used by the (iraduating Class of the National Farm School to be passed down to its successor. In presenting this hoe to you, Mr. President, I wish to emphasize one of its important features — your duty of upholding Farm School traditions. This school has earned its place in the agricultural world and has taken its rightful place in this country as one of America ' s finest Agricultural Institutions. It is your duty, therefore, to see that its place is still maintaiueil. With the deliverance of this Hoe, our stay as students of the National Farm School ceases; but as graduates we will always cherish its achieve- ments. Accept my best wishes for a successful year and may the work of our Alma Mater be brought to a still higher plane. Milton Wehrin. iAuto raphs •4 87 ■ Harry Saiiott Norman L.
