We have made no effort to publish a statistical record book, but merely wish to give you something that will ever keep your mind alive to your Farm School days. The Editor. 1932 CLASS RECORD OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL GOOD old National Farm School is a beautiful and whole- some place in which to live. It is human and always busy, judged by my long experience and confirmed by many instances relating to both students and faculty. It has been my privilege to interview the hundreds oi lads annually applying lor admission, and those graduating today could not have received a scholarship, if not worthy. I hope we may always keep in touch with each other, in an endeavor to do things in an honorable and practical way, to the end, that our future career may be successful and satisfactory. X ' ery often in these times of struggle and competition, the individual does not seem to count. At this Institution, this is not so. By three years ' contact, we know each other and are better for it. Past experience has taught us that graduates after leaving the School more highly revalue the privileges and friendships and happy associations made on this campus. You are leaving. I congratulate you upon having successfully majored in your vocation, whatever the course, and urge you to advantage yourselves of all the opportunities that may come to you on your job and in contact with your fellow-man. The funda- mentals of the School are to place boys in the farming industry. If successful in that endea or, the recompense to the Trustees, Faculty and those who make the School possible is sufficient. Herbert D.

To this class must be given the honor and credit of having played a large part in moulding the new policies of the administration. It was through your cooperation and help that hazing was eliminated. It was your sane views that raised the moral standards of our school ; always when called upon for any worthy objective your class was the first to respond, Vour standing as a class is reflected in your excellent scholastic standing; your high ethics; your willingness to cooperate; and last, but not least, your athletic attain- ments. I congratulate the Class of 1932 upon the fine start you have made in life and hope you will realize that success can only be obtained by following out the principles of life and work which your faculty tried to inculcate in you. Regretting to have to bid you farewell, nevertheless, we feel happy to believe that the 1932 Class is going out with a moral and vocational training that must mean success. Sincerely yours, C. L.

ClASS OK 1932: When you first entered the portals of the National Farm School, ()U all must have looked forward to the day when your studies would lu ' nwr. your diploma in xour hand, ready to put to the test the skill and knowledge earned by your diligent work. That day has now arri ed. I salute you for your achievement. I salute you for the unremitting study, the steady apjilication of mind and body, the unswerxing adherence to your ambition that have finally brought you to your goal. You are now about to go forth into the world to put your theories to the test, to carve careers for yourselves, to bring to a realization those golden dreams you ' ve been dreaming during your stay here. You go with my fondest blessings; you go with my sincerest wishes for health, happiness and success. Keep in mind always that the steadfastness of purpose that has helped you solve knotty problems, aided you over obstacles, and now finally earned for you the diploma you sought, will help you in the same admirable way to surmount the many obstacles that Life will present. As I look back over your work, 1 have no fear for your future. What you ' ve done here, you can repeat. The world is a hard task- master, a severe critic and Success is never won by half-hearted efforts. Though the way is long and rough. Success beckons you from the end of the trail and her rewards are many. Armed wath the precepts and knowledge you have gleaned within these fond halls, you go forth into the world well equipped to achieve the success for which you are looking and which I confidently predict for each and everyone of you. God bless you, one and all, and may F ortune shine upon your every step. Louis A.

Caplan, with his shifty stride and continuous running, crosses I he goal line before us. He was the glorious quarterback of the huskies who made up our undefeated football team. Besides leing a good athlete, Cappy is one of the most modest and skilled members of our class. All of his friends know that he would go out of his way to please anyone. With the same easy- going and friend-making stride, he is sure to go charging o er the masses toward a goal set by our most accomplished prophets.

His buxom cheerfulness merely hides a serious interest in his work. He was not here long before his O.xford accent was dropped, by request of the public. Un- doubtedly Boston has never sent out a better publicity man, as Jake ' s frequent extended journeys home makes us think that there are attractions there. He will follow the trail of the apple growers, and soon be known the world over. 1932 CLASS RECORD OH THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL LICO l-:i)i;i.

Jess Elson was the athletic star of our class. He participated in practically all the major athletic events of the school. In foot- ball togs, basketball trunks, and baseball spikes he is equally at home. In spite of his athletic achievements, Jesses ego is nil; he is as democratic as any obscure undergraduate. As long as he preserves his present good humor, he is sure to achieve still greater honors than are now his. He did not confine himself to athletics alone. He served capablj ' as President of our class and secured a permanent place on the rolls as an honor student. W ith all this, heisa wizard w-ith machinery, and can turn as neat a furrow- as the best of us.

Eppy is one of those silent men of the west (Philly) As usual, his qualities are nothing to keep quiet about. His abilitv with the pen is only equ alled by his skill in Landscaping.

His early schooling was very rudimentary, but his scholastic standing now ranks with the highest of us. When we think of all the effort it takes to accomplish this, and note the result, we admire Smoky immensely. May your path in life lead you to a happy goal, as surely as the furrows you turn are straight and deep. EDWIX J.

S. A. Committee, 3. Frank was one of the mainstays of the Greenhouse Department. He knows his Dahlias from A to Z, and that means quite a lot in that game. When any emergency work would turn up, Dendy was always willing to lend a hand. He is one of the few students w ho managed a 3-year stay here solely upon his own resources — quite an undertaking. Scholastically, he has no reason to be ashamed, the uniformly high marks for the terms showing hard study and application. Frank is well started up that ladder which we all try to climb sooner or later. To reach the top should not be hard for him.

His wit and humor are copied all over the campus. However, when work or lessons are to be done. Henry lays aside the funny mien, and shows us an intelligent student with a certain seriousness of purpose. Goldman is a landscaper, and knows his arbor vitaes. Though he has had a tough break with his health, he is bound to come through with flying colors. 1932 CLASS RECORD OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL KOHKRT GOLDSTKIX ■■Boh- Age 22 F Farm Ma( hini:rv Hampton Hij;li School llaniptoii, a. .1 Utile lad and -ifise nianagcincnt may often evade resistance, and carry a point where direct force might be in vain. — Anon.

Let it not be said that his services to the class and to the student body will go unappreciated. Success to you. Bob. you will make good in any line of endeavor.

Pete is everybody ' s friend, and a real cure for the blues. e all thought that his continuous patter and mimicry would be his only asset, but we found that he was capable of hard work, and he really did work. Although at present Ir. Toor does not realize it. his repertoire includes poultry. We can vouch for Pete ' s competence in this work.

Activities: Natural Science Club. 1; Band, 1, 2, 3; Banquet Committee, 1; Horticulture Club, 2; Prom Committee. 2. Albert is the literateur. chemist, and metaphysician of the Senior Class. Of course, his conversation is almost non-existent; for he puts all his effort into his thought on the above subjects, which, in addition to his school work, form niarvelously diversi- fied mental food. When Tony does choose to crawl out of his shell he proves that he really possesses a spicy humor. Occasion- ally, too. he plays on the clarinet, but we have never known him to spend more than 9 hours daily at this pursuit. We feel that he will make good — if not in agriculture, then in musical or scientific fields. 1932 CLASS RECORD OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL GILBERT KEANE - ' Gil Age 20 Poultry Flint Central High School Flint, Mich.

We must believe in their existence, because we ' ve known Gil for three years. Always ' tranquil and helpful towards his fellow students, his name is a s nonym for good company and a dependable bridge partner. hen anyone wished to bum a cigarette, he looked for Gil . We expect to see him. in the near future, as the owner of a going poultry concern. JACK KOCH Ferdy Age 23 HORTICVLTURE Textile High School New York City, X.

Noted for his wit and extraordinary ability to make puns. Koch has endeared himself to our hearts. Should the Hon; cultural game ever prove to be unprofitable for him, he can always publish a book of his puns, and call it Kochisms ' W ' e can guarantee 40 sales to the Class of ' 32. Because a good deal of his time was given over to leading the orchestra, much of the success of the Farm School Dances may be laid to his credit. It will be hard to part from Ferdy at graduation, but his per- sonality will be with us always. Good luck to you, Koch! May the niemnrv nf xour character be an example for us.

Football plavers are not music lovers, as a rule, but Marty ' is as skillful with his tuba as he is with a football under his arm- With all this, he is perfectly at home on the dance floor, or in the nursery. There is much evidence of his landscape ability in the several lawns and plantings he made in Doylestown. We soon expect to see Marty making lawns in front of the White House.

In settling disputes and knotty problems of various kinds, he proved invaluable.

It is not always the people that talk the most who do all the work. Malkin illustrates this. Abe is really so quiet that he makes one forget that he is around. Many times, on calling his name in the classrooms, the teachers have to look around to make sure that Abe is really there, before they mark him present. Almost daily, the corridors of Lasker Hall resound to the echoes of the phrase Where ' s Malkin.- ' . May we add that he was a firm disciple of Confucius.- We are sure he will make an efficient poultryman. 1932 CLASS RECORD OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL STANLEY H.

If you should wish to encase his god-like image in a platinum frame, we beg of you not to mulilate this valuable book by so doing. Simply mail your request to the gentleman ' s private secretary, and you will receive a handsome portrait of him. Just as there was only one George Washington, one Xapoleon, and one Abraham Lincoln, so there is only one Max Xewman. Despite the well-known fact that it is unneces- sary for great men to be amicable. Reds is the personification of agreeable service. He is a fine chap whom we all like, and we know he is bound to go high in the poultry game. kvV 1932 CLASS RECORD OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL NATiLW M; NLW -Nate Agk 1 ) F lloRTUn.Tl ' RE Hot Springs ITiuli School Hot Springs.

Here arises a tale, that is far stranger than any fiction. Our hero is a lad from the backwoods, handicapped by the customs, education, and unsophistication of the Ozarks, coming to this school to pave his way for the future. Nate has made good, and ranks high in all phases of his work. We will never forget Nate ' s determined spirit, his willingness to lend a helping hand, and his unforgetable bear hug. Today he is ready to lake his place in the world on an equal basis with anyone. JOSEPH NICHOLSON Nick Age 21 F D.MRV Pitman High School Pitman, N. J.

Nick , as he is known affectionately among his intimate friends, is about as generous, kind-hearted, and handsome a fellow- as you wish to know. As to conversation, it is not difficult to the great depths of his probing mind, for his desire for facts is insatiable. Nick has denied the rumor referring to an offer by the Arrow Collar in which he was asked to pose for their ads. However, he modestly admits that he just can ' t help being hand- some. The combination of pulchritude and dairying science is hard to beat, and should go a long way in this women ' s world. MARTIN PITT Marty Age 19 F D.MRY Gennantown High School Germantown, Pa.

Marty is one of our strong and silent men. His interest in work is real, although he does not go about broadcasting his ability. Mr. Samuels ne er could have put out a good football team without fellows like Pitt, who stayed on the squad for three years, taking punishment and liking it. Good Luck to you, Marty .

Modest, quiet, but sure. Joe came to us from New York state. Scholastically. he ranks with the best, and when anyone wants to see wrestling of a professional caliber, just send for Raskin. His fame as an author of Billets Doux is unequalled in the annals of school history. Joe can write a letter for you that will easily fix up the most recent and serious quarrel with your sweetie, and do it with ease. Here ' s hopin ' the furniture business brings fame and fortune to your door, and that eventual poultry farm will appear. SYEN CHRISTIAN RAVEN Chris Age 21 F. RM ] I.

One of man ' s objects in life is the pursuit of happiness, and if he can find happiness in birds he is indeed fortunate. Chris is a glutton for work, always putting in a full day and finishing up neatly.

For a lover of fun and merriment, it would be hard to find Sol ' s equal. When he first came to the school, he proved no exception to the rule that plumpness means joviality. The avoir- dupois is now gone, but the joviality remains. Many dull moments have been enlightened by his timely and opportune jokes. His painstaking efforts in connection with his project work have called our attention to his capabilities in this line, and have won the respect of all who know him. Perhaps the Poultry industry has been waiting for such a one to elevate it to higher levels. If ability and character are the re(|uirements for success, then Sol is a made man at the start.

We call him Phil , sometimes for short, but nioslly for the evidence of friendship. He is the kind of friend we all aspire to have in the future.

Joe was the cherub of the Farrell Clan. Naive of manner and innocent of countenance was he. But such angelic qualities were only skin deep, for he proved to be the terror of the ring, a good man on the court, and very popular with the ladies. Whether in classroom, field, or greenhouse. Joe was an earnest and capable lad. His friendship will be cherished in the long years ahead. Good Luck!

That was our freshman ear, and many of us well remember the autocratic demands of the upper classmen. About the only real good that hazing did was to weld our class together. We went into our school work with zest. In the first inter-class sport, we decisiveh ' defeated the Juniors in boxing. This was a real accomplishment, since the upperclassmen had a full year ' s experience and seasoning over us. They forfeited two bouts by not putting men in the heaviest of the contesting classes, which proves how strongly we w ' ent into the afTair. However, two weeks later the Junior wrestling team showed us real form. They were invincible on the mat. ' e won only the last bout, saving us from a complete rout. The Spring passed very rapidly, and Summer found us working in the fields. A new life had been unfolded to us, and to many of us our fondest expectations had been realized. The sultry summer months passed very rapidly, and at the end of that season the thought came into our minds that we had been farming all our lives. The love for this basic industry ' , which is as old as civilization itself, is inherent in all mankind. Little does our manufacturing population realize this. However, when they weary of their machine-like existence we often hear them yearn for the peaceful fatigue of agricultural work. The football season always begins with a bang at Farm School. We helped the team start with their right foot forward by tendering them one of the best banquets ever held in Lasker Hall. No doubt our work was well worthwhile, for the ' came through with the first unde- feated Farm School football season by winning ten straight games. At the close of our team ' s successful football campaign, we again met our beloved rivals, the Juniors, in what was to be a football game. How- ever, it was played in a sea of mud, for the elements had been unkind to us. Somewhere in this sea was a football field, but it was not found until the next spring. We managed to duplicate the deeds of historical sea captains, by overcoming stupendous odds in experience, weight, and playing ability, to liattle our opponents to a scoreless tie. This was accomplished only by fight and determination. 37 1932 CLASS RECORD OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL The Farm Products Show was held in the newly erected Farm Mechanics building during the two days previous to the Christmas vacation. It was one made up of novel features in the form of displays and numerous educational exhibits. Many of us had entered products from the farms which won handsome prizes for us. After the Christmas vacation, all roads led back to Farm School. There were onh- a few months to go before we could be called upper- classmen. Many of us anxiously awaited the day we could walk up the front walk as though we were really an essential part of the school ' s make-up. Our last inter-class sport of the year was a thrilling basket- ball game with the Juniors. We managed to pull the contest out of fire by an exciting rally when only seconds remained to finish the game. We won, 22 to 21. UI OX returning to school, from the Easter vacation, we couldn ' t help t)ut notice the improvements around the school. The new gate, new road, and the completely furnished Farm Mechanics building with modern machinery gave our school an individualistic appearance. Our class had a very trying time during the first few months of the Junior year. We were split into two factions, but wisdom and good judgment finally conquered over rash actions. To show how strongly we were really united we defeated the Freshmen in boxing, wrestling, baseball, and track. Who will ever forget the spectacular mile run, by which we snatched victory from the Freshmen ' s grasp.- The Summer passed uneventfully for the student body, but our class was making plans for the Junior Prom. Members of the Prom Committee sacrificed much time in securing material and making deco- rative plans. And then the eventful day came. The week-end of Sep- tember 13th saw one of the best Junior Proms that was ever held at this school. Many members of the Alumni marvelled at the decorations. The music, as supplied by ' ernon Guy ' s Parodians, was both novel and entertaining. The Freshman football team gained a moral victory by holding us to a scoreless tie. We tallied 18 first downs to their 3, but you cash in on points scored. Then we completed our inter-class sport schedule by trouncing the plebes in basketball, by the score of 35 to 14. With this victory came the acknowledgment that our class had set up a 38 1932 CLASS RECORD OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL record that has never been equaled in the history of Farm School Inter-Class Sports. We elected the following men to guard our destiny for the Senior year: Robert (ioldstein, President of Student Body; Walter Spiller, ' ice-President of Student Body; Louis Shiffman, President of the Class; Edward Frank, ' ice-President of Class; Leo Libove, Secretary of Class; Joseph Silverberg, Treasurer of Class. THF Senior year was a crystal through which we first saw the light of responsibility. Heretofore, in our undergraduate days, we had to listen to the faculty or the upperclassmen for direction in doing all farm work. As Seniors, we learned what responsibility means. We know that individual initiative is brought out in a student b - the system of project work. But let us warn the future Seniors of the pitfalls into which they might fall. Many Seniors do not measure up to their duty because they are not always followed up closely by the faculty. The benefits we derive from any endeavor depend on the work we do individually. Therefore, we feel that a senior must work twice as hard as he did during his other two years, if he is to develop self-reliance and skill. The beginnings of our Senior year found the world about to enter the throes of another economic depression. These things had come and gone, but never before had they afifected the school to the point that this present period has. It w ' as found necessary to curtail expenditures all around, but not once did the students have occasion to complain. Already there are signs of improvement in the outside world. A most significant sign of this manifests itself in that most of the Seniors have already been placed in worthwhile and profitable positions. After all, our main purpose here at school has been to study agriculture, and if we are placed in that field upon graduation, the school has accomplished its purpose. It is now up to us to make good in the line in which we have been trained, and reflect credit and honor upon our Alma Mater. CLASS WILL THIS is the last will and testament of the Class of 1932. Herein will be found what we deem necessar ' to bequeath to our Alma Mater and its inmates. We do this most willingly, and whole- heartedly for the Faculty and Student Body of which we were once a 39 1932 CLASS RECORD OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL part. We may jest or be sincere, but the contents of tliis Will will bring back fond memories to us as the years go by. Lo and behold! Sydney Stone, the ace of leg-pullers, and the winner of the leg-pulling contest run by the A. A., is in our midst. His vacancy must be replaced in the future. Wc leave it to be filled by Stoudt, Burns, and Wallach. May the best man win. The Judges shall be Messrs. Floyd Cook, Francis X. Brenneis, and Cecil Toor. Buddy Adelman, now that he is getting married, leaves the rest of his women to his friends. Tiny and Shykale the Gonnuf. We all know that they will appreciate his overwhelming generosity. Nigs, our official chef, has left his kitchen utensils with Mr. Fleming. Horowitz may have same b ' infjuiring of the authorities. The eggs are furnished by the poultry department. You just buy the bacon. Our dear comrade, Meyer Gorenberg, alias Pet Gummble , famous the world over for the saying, I killed the tree , leaves his dirty socks to Reds Portnoy. I warn the school authorities to find these socks, and destroy them, otherwise our fine campus shall be as barren as a desert, without grass, trees, or shrubs. Marty Lazarow, living on his football laurels, leaves his form to Izzy Goodman. Izzy, you should be proud of such an honor, and we all hope you will uphold this Form for Mr. Lazarow ' s sake alone. Joe Raskin had not only a most exclusive superiority complex, but also a certain charm for w ' omen, especially Hilda. This charm he most graciously leaves to Dave Finkle. Finkle, with Raskin ' s charm, you will have the women all sewed up (in a sheet). Weird , with his clarinet, leaves to Herby Harris his solitary habits, so that he will have no one to disturb him when he practices his baritone, except an occa- sional few buckets of water out of the clear ozone. This, indeed, is a kind thought for Weird , who usually has no interest or time for any one or anything except said clarinet. Moses, our grown-up baby, leaves his wise sayings, playthings, and kiddish manners to Johnny Toor. Michalak, with the consent of Mr. Groman, leaves to Metzner and Vandernoot all the tractors and equipment, and what few wrenches they may find. He also advises them to conceal these few wrenches when the boss is around. Our muscle man, Si-Ox Newman, leaves his strength to Zorn. We think he will find it useful. Our most noted athlete, Jess Elson, willingly leaves his ability in that field to Delaney. Delaney, you can now tell Coach you are ready to fight for dear old Farm School on the Gridiron.

Lichtenstein, hailed as the champion don-Merchant , is another great personage in our midst. ' ith much doubt and reluc- tance, he states that Merkin has a good chance of filling his vacancy. Sha]iiro and Klein aren ' t so bad either. Here again we hope the ])est man wins. Now that a few of the Soo boys are leaving, they appoint Meyer Kristol to make their weekly visits for them. May he still enjox ' them as they did. Joe Silverberg, our crooning troubador, leaves his crooning to be done by Peewee Maxton. Peewee, with your voice and western songs, you can knock your audience cold. Joe predicts a won- derful future for you. Bob doldstein (the speaker of the house) leaves his political career behind at Farm School, intending to continue at Penn State. Meanwhile, this imj ortant office is acant. Here is a chance for some ambitious Junior to get up in the world (and 20 Juniors killed in the rush). Our friend Nicholson leaves the privilege of riding the Dean ' s horses to the famous athlete, Norbert Mink. We hope the Dean does not object to this, and we all know that Norbert will appre- ciate such a privilege. The only obstacle in his way now is that the horses probably will object. Smoky Foster, the Dean ' s left-hand man, leaves his splendid career at school for the Juniors and Freshmen to look up to, and not down upon. Epstein has now stepped forward and volunteers to leave his bat and balls to Max Marks, another baseball fanatic. Max, with Eppy ' s sporting paraphernalia, and your own, you can now compete with Spalding and Reach. Reds Newman is very thoughtful. He has left to Benny Rellis his many conditions, so that now he is eligible for dornell. Zuckerman has now appeared, and leaves his mustache to Mr. Toor. It ' s not much, Mr. Toor, but at least we ha •e you in mind. Raven declares he will leave his knowledge of fire- fighting to the Doylestown Fire Department.

At the present time, Harry Klein has a claim on Lillian, but Esther is still unattached. Here is opportunity ' knocking at your door, and said opportunity knocks but once. Atten- tion! young men.

I ha e been -ery fortunate and now own a modern dairy farm which enables me to live in ease and comfort, but during these eight years I have lost contact with all my classmates. Recently I have had a desire to see my school-day chums again and to have those good old reminiscences of those eventful days spent together at our Alma Mater. Leaving my work behind in charge of my manager, Mr. Nicholson, I started out to see how the Class of ' 32 had fared in this world of ours. I first went directly to Hallowell, Pa., where I knew I would find Harry Caplan, our foremost athlete while at school. Harry welcomed me with open arms and I soon was acquainted with the rest of the Caplans which were two lads of 6 and 7 years of age respectively. (You see Harry didn ' t lose much time at all.) After recalling our school days and seeing that he was a prominent merchant I left for New York where I expected to find quite a few of the bo s. 1932 CLASS RECORD OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL Elson was surprised to see me when I unexpectedly called at his home in Brooklyn. I soon had Jesse talking and found that he was putting out championship teams for dear old Madison High School. Jesse then xolunteered to show me around New ' ork where he said I would meet the gang. I was quite astonished when the first j lace we visited was a promi- nent night club. He immediately sent for the host and soon I saw Bob Goldstein approaching. After a happy handshake he insisted on us being his guests for the evening. Bob then led us to the orchestra where Ferdy ' s Hayseeders were furnishing the snappy music. After the last number I was surrounded by Seidman who was playing the trumpet, Citron who was still trying to play the tuba, and Joe Silverberg, the gay troubadour. We had quite a session that night which we didn ' t break up until early the next morning. The next day we all went to see the Athletics and Yankees in one of their usual bitter struggles. I was both amazed and happy to see my former roommate, Phil Spivak, take the mound for the A ' s and also to see Walt Spiller in right held. After the game we all went down enmasse and congratulated the boys for the ictory over the ' ankees. That night we had a regular round-table meeting. The following night Elson took me down to Coney Island. Here I found the two noted scientists, Harry Lichtenstein and Sol Solomono- witz. They were selling Lydia E. I inkham ' s vegetable compound tab- lets. Walking along the boardwalk we ran into Pitt and Epstein. They told us they were well-to-do but at the present were looking for free lodgings. Then we noticed the large crowd around a side show and there, lo and behold! was Stone in the capacity of a barker. Nate New- man was eating fire and glass and simultaneously emitting his famous Indian war cry. Soopper was advertised as the noted snake-charmer. While speaking to the boys, Zukerman broke in upon us. When good old Stone happened to get tired, Zukerman would take the limelight and attract the crowds. We then stopped for a drink at a stand and to Elson ' s surprise as well as my own was run by Malkin and Moses. Thus we received them gratis after strenuously insisting to pay. I returned that night a little tired but happier in having seen so man} ' of the boys. The following day being my last in New York, we started out early. We first visited the Lehigh Rabbit Company, where we met 43 1932 CLASS RECORD OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL Bud Edelman and Milton Rosensweig, who were president and vice- president of the company. Edelman was already a married man, while Rosensweig, we learned, was just on the verge of matrimony. Also, Keane and Crafin are the leading salesmen, but being on the road, it was not possible for me to see them personally. Jess then led me to Raskin ' s Furrier Concern, where he had in his employ. Reds Newman and Henry Goldman. For the evening, Jess had already bought tickets for the boxing bouts at the Madison Square Gardens. The feature attraction was the bout between K. O. Kid Zolton and the Polish lad, Chet Rogalski. Zolton was seconded 1) - Nigs Rosenberg and Pete Gorenberg, while Chet was seconded by Sven Raven and his old pal, Michalak. This engagement ended in a draw by the referee ' s decision, who was George Smith. We had another round-table gathering that evening with Pete furnishing the entertainment. With much regret, I departed from New ' ork, and with informa- tion gained from some of the fellows, I continued on my journey. My next stop was in ' ineland. New Jersey, where I found Pop W ' alzer and Slim Westnedge engaged in the poultr - game. The ' showed me about and were quite proud of their success. I then continued into Pennsyh ania again and found Tony Kaufman and Smokey Foster holding high positions at the Sheffield Dairy Company. After sampling their milk and relating to them an account of my trip, they let me know where I could find Eddie Frank and Marty Lazarow. I found them again running a greenhouse in New Hope, and very successful at that. They accompanied me to the National Farm School, where Lebove, one of the boys of thirty-two, was field manager ot one of the farms. The school was as beautiful as exer. It was good to see the sur- roundings that were so dear to us in our former school days. In seeing the fellows of my class and now seeing the school, my heart swells with pride that I am an .Alumnus of the National Farm School.

SAMUELS — - t- =1 1932 CLASS RECORD OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL THE FINAL CHAPTER IVhot you rule llic battle, look down upon the field, With glory in your battleax and triumph on your shield. Before the head starts sioelling from fame ' s elastic thrill Look out against the skyline — or halfway up the hill; Look out against the skyline, where training for the day A better man than you are is always on the way. And when you hear the tumuli that rings against your name. The far-swept, rolling thunder that heralds growing fame, Don ' t breathe it in too deeply, don ' t let it sink too far, Don ' t build your future on it, however high you are — For you ' ll hear louder cheering when in your final fling You fade into the shadows before the new-crowned king. So let this thought, in passing, sink swiftly in your sold — The fun is in the battle, but never in the goal; And when the way seems easy, put this down for a bet, Xo matter what the booty, you pay for what you get; Through darkness look to sunlight, but when the sunbeams flock. In place of picking laurel — get ready for the shock. THERE is n doubt in the minds of all that the present group of young men leaving their Alma Mater have, during their three years at the school, carried on in an admirable way towards maintaining the prestige of the institution in our high standard of athletic accomplishments, in line with the spirit of sportsmanship, as exemplified by preceding classes. This group, I am pleased to say, has also added considerable tradition in new and continued athletic achieve- ments which have brought their Alma Mater before the eye of the public throughout all parts of the country. There is a sense of satisfied feeling in knowing that these young men have been capable in upholding the prestige and tradition so dearly cherished by the institution and its loyal followers. These outstanding accomplishments are due mainly to the individuals ' hard work, and following religiously all the necessary principles which make for success. Their ability was developed through constant hard work on their part, plus an untainted spirit of loyalty and allegiance to each other, the powers that be, and the ideals of the institution. Now the results are history, but a proven fact of the qualities necessary for success in any line of endeavor. After these young men go out into the world, they will face the test of being a GOOD WINNER. The cold realization of knowing that victories and glories heaped upon them in the past will not make their path any easier, nor will the outside world take those things into consideration when looking for results. A GOOD TNNER knows the test 1932 CLASS RECORD OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL of glon.- by realizing that continued effort is necessan,- towards the further step and the progress of success, and reaHzing that the acclaim of the public is only temporan.-. It is the cold realization that immediate results count, and not the expected leniency on past achievem.ents. These facts are of vital necessitv- towards the development of a GOOD WINNER, and plays an important part in the young man ' s career, after he has fully mastered the essentials necessarx- for desired progress. Jesse Elson. Captain of the football team, will always be considered as one of the outstanding leaders in the histor - of Farm School sports, and the best tackle and captain developed in the histoni- of the gam.e. His services on the basketball team were also invaluable. Harn.- Caplan rates as the outstanding quarterback in Farm School history-, and also a ven,- valuable cog in the successful basketball quintet, as well as Captain of the baseball team. The undefeated football team, which is considered the best in Farm School history, will also miss the ser ices of Marty Lazarow. outstanding halfback. Buddy Edelman, Robert Goldstein, H Tnan Citron, and Nate Ne Tnan. Louis Shifman, Captain of the successful basketball team, will be missed for his outstanding services as an active player. The baseball team will greatly feel the loss of Philip Spivak ' s work on the mound, with the combined efforts of Walter Spiller. At this time I wish to express the appreciation for the efforts and spirit of Lichlenstein and Rosenberg as substitutes for the basketball team., and Pitt in the same capacit - on the football squad. I hope that these young men will, in the course of their struggle with the outside world, eventually meet success, but in doing so always look back upon the experiences towards their achievements at their Alma Mater, and tr - to follow as closely as possible the same ideals and principles. Conditions today call for greater efforts, courage, and tolerance. The wishes of ever -bod - are behind these boys towards conquering in the future as they have in the past, and then keeping in mind the importance of being a GOOD W INNER, as a stepping-stone towards further success. S. B. Samuels. O QJ o c o OS S c ■J a a c lo 1932 CLASS RECORD OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL FOOTBALL THIC oiilr - i)t till ' 9M Class marked a new era in l- ' arm School sports history, specially on the t ridiron. In this sport, Coach Samuels had an aggregation of earnest and willing phu-ers who played the game more as a demonstration of school spirit than as an exhibition of individual prowess. From our class came the gridiron heroes of the three seasons we were privileged to see. 1929 ' ith TEN STRAIGHT as our slogan, the team swept through a most diffi- cult schedule of games to record the first undefeated season in the school ' s history. The team, the most powerful in prep school ranks in the East, steam-rollered all opposition to defeat by virtue of its powerful defense. The 323 points it scored in- dicates its power. The sweetest part of the victorious season came at the end, when the Williamson Trade School team was defeated in the last game of the season, thus avenging the defeat of the previous year. Two of our classmates won positions on the team. These were Jess Elson in the backfield, and Bud Edelman on the end. At the conclusion of the season, Phil Kleinman was elected captain for the next year. 1930 Although we did not have another undefeated year, the season was far from unsuccessful. Of the eight games played, we won six, and had to be content with a tie and a loss in the remaining two games. Once more, the ' 32 class played a large part in the success of the team. Elson, Caplan, Goldstein, Lazarow, Edelman, played conspicuous parts in all our victories. The heart-breaking way in which we lost the second game of the season (to Makenzie Prep by one point) would have broken the morale of many a team. Instead, more determined than ever, we went through the remainder of the season undefeated. For this great work during the season, Jess Elson was unanimously elected captain of the team for the follow- ing year. 1931 The year 1931 saw produced the greatest football team ever to represent Farm School on the gridiron. L d by the peerless Elson, the team marched through the most difficult schedule ever attempted by a Farm School eleven, and was unbeaten. Such sterling teams as Baltimore City College, Wenonah Military Academy, Emer- son School, Brooklyn City College, Elizabethto wn College, and Peirce School were swept into defeat by our Aggies. The whole team played as a unit, and as a result, some of the finest play in years was witnessed on Alumni Field. The backfield, run by Harry Caplan, the greatest quarterback in school history, ripped the opposing lines to shreds, while the line was a stone wall on the defense, yielding but one touch- down the entire season. The Class of 1931 can point with reasonable pride to the fact that it is the first class ever to have two undefeated teams during its stay at Farm School. - ' ( ' - 1 ' -)@ )-- 55 1932 CLASS RECORD OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL BASEBALL BASEBALL, the nation ' s sport, has always shared prominence with the other major sports at Farm School. In the three years of our stay here, our class contributed the best it had in the way of baseball talent, in an effort to ele- vate the school ' s standing among other institutions with which it was in competi- tion. We feel confident that our attempt was a successful one inasmuch as we had the pleasure of seeing Alma Mater ' s baseball representatives complete an undefeated season in our Junior Year. 1929 It was even before we knew who our fellow classmates were, that Caplan and Nicholson won regular positions on the team led by Russ Broadbent. We soon learned that these two big leaguers were members of our family . The season ended with six ictories and three defeats, which was a fine showing, considering the schedule. 1930 This was a season with plenty of competition, and a few handicaps. Vet the team emerged undefeated, making baseball history for Farm School. The team suffered a setback when, in the early part of the season, Nicholson sustained a broken ankle during one of the games. Caplan, Spivak and Spiller were also regular mem- bers of the undefeated team which was piloted by Phil Kleinman and coached by the local sport mentor, Samuel Samuels. Hats off to Coach Samuels! 1931 This ear the responsibilities of the local nine were in the hands of OttoStangel. Caplan ' s stellar playing of the two past seasons paved the way to the captaincy of the team in his last year. Our class was well-represented with the addition of Edel- man, Spivak, and Spiller on the team. Setbacks were numerous and the season came to a rather unsuccessful end. - t — i|@ i- 1932 CLASS RECORD Of THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL BASKETBALL FI I ' .-MANd(tense at Nationtil Farm School duringour three years ' sta ' , with tlic invaliialilc aid of Coach Samuels, has resulted in one of the best quintets ill prep school rankings. It is evident that this system was successful, as shown by the fact that the boys won thirty-five games before they were willing to bow to defeat. An undefeated season in 1931 was an indicator of the excellence of play. 1930 This ear would ha e given us a very successful season, had we not gone out of our class and played the mighty Penn Military College, who set us back for the only defeat of the season. Even then the game was won by our opponents only after an extra period of play. Credit should be given to Caplan and Elson for their success in making the varsity quintet. 1931 An undefeated season! No matter how hard the opponents played, they could not penetrate our five-man defense. The boys are well worthy of their success because they worked hard enough to attain it. It is entirely proper that we should give mention to the boys who made it possible, namely: Captain Philip Kleinman, George ' andernoot, Jess Elson, Harry Caplan, Charles Feinburg, Louis Shifman, Bud Adelman, and Kent Boutilier. 1932 The same team as last year, with the exception of Phil Kleinman, whom we lost by graduation. This year ' s quintet was captained by Louis Shifman, and Caplan and Elson were left over as last year ' s old-timers. These three displayed a marvelous coordination of skill and play. The set-back ot the season was given us by the Penn- ington School five, a very strong Prep team of the first rank. Subsequent defeat by Southern High, of Philadelphia, was but an aftermath of the grueling contest at Pennington. The game with Penn State Freshmen was another venture into the realm of college frosh. The season, as a whole was more an exhibition of coordinated play than outstanding -ictory and high scores. 59 1932 CLASS RECORD OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL THE RECORDS FOOTBALL 1931 Captain, J.

Took, Sponsor -1@ - 74 1932 CLASS RECORD OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL Salutatory MR. CHAIRMAN, Members of the Board, Members of the Facult -, Ladies and Gentlemen: We graduates welcome NOLI here today to our Commencement exercises. It is a momentous occasion for us since we reached an important period in our lives. Our chosen work is agriculture, and although j resent conditions are not very cheerful, still we shall venture forth with all the vitality and optimism characteristic of youth. We feel that an aggressive spirit cannot be stayed from attaining the goal, or reaching the pinnacle, if we temper our zeal with wisdom. I may compare our life at school with the seasons of the year, namely, planting, growth, and harvest. Entering in the spring as freshmen, everything was green, both literally and figuratively speaking. A new life was unfolded to us in the summer season of profusion. Then came the Autumn, or our Senior year. We realized that the age-old adage, As ye sow, so shall ye reap, could not be better exemplified than in our work. As it rings true in the case of nature, so is it true of man ' s experiences. A well-cared for crop, that has had the proper land preparation and culture, will yield the best harvest. A diligent interest in all school activities must necessarily result in a student discerning that he has received the most out of his three years spent here. We feel, Mr. Chairman and Friends, that Commencement indicates the power to begin anew and to grow. Our education here was for the serious purpose of preparing us for agricultural work. Now that we have this valuable training we may go forth topractice what we have learned and proclaim ourselves, men of the earth. Jess Elson. 75 1932 CLASS RECORD OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL Valedictory MR. CHAIRMAN. President AUman, Members of the Board, Dean Goodling, Faculty. Friends and Fellow Students: These exercises today mark the passing of another milestone in our walk of life. For three years we traveled this road. At times the wa - was rough, and the bumps were hard. In our Freshman year the road was perhaps at its worst, but constant adaptation to conditions pa ed the way for us, until in our Senior year we found smooth going. Let us not deceive ourselves into thinking that it was due only to our own efforts that we find ourselves today at these commencement exercises. For three years, or approximately one-twentieth of our existence, we were being molded by our Dean and Faculty, much as the soft shapeless clay is molded by the sculptor. The impression made upon us will be lasting in its effects. We have learned to toil; to live peacefully with our fellows; to organize and work as a single unit; and. most important of all. to obey orders. These are the factors that will determine whether we succeed or fail. He who learned his lesson well is exceedingly fortunate, for. As ye plant, so shall ye harvest. Aside from the fact that we have been fitted both mentally and physically for a worthwhile career, the numerous friendships and asso- ciations that we ha -e made will become more and more precious to us as time goes on. The number of friends that ordinarily requires a life- time to obtain we ha e acquired in three short years. Let us determine not to be discouraged or impatient if, in this period of hard times, success does not come by leaps and bounds. Constant, patient effort is certain to bring results. For the sincere and conscientious efforts of our instructors, toward preparing us for our future life, we are indeed grateful. Each ofour Faculty has given generously of himself to put something into our makeup, and our destinies will be influenced by their work. Words are but futile messengers in the expression of our gratitude, since the depth of our feelings cannot thus be truly judged. As we finally stand upon the threshold of this institution, which has been our sheltered home and adopted parent for three years, we cannot help but feel a pang of sorrow at parting. Regardless of the passing of time, we shall always keep green in our memory these pleasant grounds; the fragrance of freshly turned soil; the waving fields of golden grain; and finally, the satisfaction that comes at the end of a day ' s work well done.
