1932 CLASS RECORD OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL MARTIN SOLOMONOWITZ Sol Aci; 20 !• Poultry Plainfield High School (N. J.) Brooklyn, N. Y. Delibfralf with caution, but act with decision, and yield with graciousness or pose unth firmness. — Colton. ACTIVITJE!:: Interdorm Sports, 1, 2, 3; Poultry Club, I, 2, 3; Literary Society, 1; Horticulture Club, 2, 3 (Treasurer, 3); Vice-President of Poultry Club, 3; A. A. Hoard, 3; Manager of Basketball (N ' arsity), 3; Assistant Manager of Varsity Basketball, 2; VWestling, 2; Dining Room Committee, 3; Class Track, 1; Manager of Class Basketball, 1. 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. MORRIS SOOPPER Moish Agk 20 Horticulture Overbrook High School Philadelphia, Pa. Knowledge once gained casts a light beyond its own intermediate boundaries. — Tydall. Activities: Forestry Club, 1, 2; Interdorm Sports, 1, 2, 3; Horticulture Club, 2, 3; Class Football, 2; Poultry Club, 2, 3; Gleaner Staff, 2, 3; Ye. rbook Staff, 3; Varsity Foot- ball Squad, 2. Moish was indeed different. Combine statistical basebalb research in Herpetology, a bit of Greek, and a dash of irresponsi- bility, and what have you? Soopper, of course. Lest we forget, his passion for the elusive Solanum Tuberosum was only rivalled by the fine art of ditch digging. May we wish you luck. Moish ? and wherever your esthetic depths are understood, there will you find happiness. WALTER SPILLER II ' u7 Age 21 F Dairy Simon Gratz High School Philadelphia, I ' .i Simplicity of all things is the hardest to be copied. — Steele. Activities: Varsity Baseball, , 2, 3; Varsity Club, 2, 3; Studini Council, 2 (Vice-President of Council, 3); Student Senate, 2; Poultry Club, L 2, 3: Dairy Club, 2, 3; Prom Com- mittee, 2; Captain of Class Baseball, 1; Interdorm Sports, 1, 2. Walt made his mark as a quiet and thorough student. always making friends as he went along. In his work he was sincere and we often wonder how the Dairy Department would have done without him. When not studying or working he could be found batting a baseball around the diamond, a habit which made him famous as the best hitter ever to don a Farm School uniform. We know that he will be missed, but hope he won ' t forget us. 31

1932 CLASS RECORD OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL LOUIS SHIFMAX • ' Lou Age 21 F Dairy e v Castle High School New Castle, Pa.

Behold the leader of our great basketball team! From the very beginning, there was no child like Lou (even his mother said so). Rattles and Grimm ' s Fairy Tales never interested him. He teethed on a whistle, and amused himself by looking at the ])iotures in the Rules Book, His interest in basketball has never Miice lagged. If the game continues to produce men of his caliber, 1 i.isketball is going to become mighty popular, Lou ' s specialty is ■ l.iirying. and we predict his success in this vocation. JOSEPH SILVERBERG Troubador Age 20 Floriculture Central High School Philadelphia, Pa, was his nature to blossom into song, as it is a tree ' s to leaf itself in April. — Ale.x Smith.

Trouby. the connoisseur of the fine arts — the arts of court- ship, music, and nickel squeezing. It must have been the Spanish blood in him. for Spain is noted for its romance, as well as for its temper. He has endeared himself in our hearts (and many, many, many maidens) with his golden voice and the jet black of his mustachio. The emotional quiver in his voice must have been caused by a broken heart, or probably lumbago, Joe, your genius for beauty, both feminine and floral, will set you high in the world. GEORGE P, SMITH Smythc Age 21 Landscape .Ashland School Scranton, Pa. The fruit derived from labor is the s ' iccetest of all pleasures. — Anon. .Activities: Class President, 1 : Banquet Committee, 1; Forestry Club, 1, 2, 3; Gift Committee, 1, 2, 3; Class Track, 1; Prom Committee, 2: Interdorm Sports, 1, 2. George entered our midst, serious of purpose, a gentleman, and above all. with genuine friendship for all. This rare combination of qualities has been enhanced by his three years at the school. Your appreciation of natural beauty and thoroughness in your work should make you outstanding in your endeavors. 30

1932 CLASS RECORD OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL PHILIP SPIVAK -Phif AgiQO F Dairy Central High School Philadeliihi.i, Pa. Life is a flower, of which love is the honey. — Hugo. Activities: Varsity Baseball, 1. 2, 3; Band, 1, 2. 3; Secretary- Treasurer of N. F. S. Musical Organization. 2; Track. 2; Horticulture Club, 2; Dairy Club, 3; Class Basketball, 1, 2; Class Football, 1, 2; Varsity Basketball, 2, 3; Varsity Club, 2, 3; Varsity Football Squad, 1; Class Baseball, 1; N ' ice- President of Band, 3; Student Council, 3; Yearbook Staff, 3. 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. One of the reasons for this noble manifesta- tion is his attractive personality. He never becomes excited nor allows his temper to get the best of him. Phil is an excellent athlete, and a social highlight. With these illustrious attributes, there should be no doubt that he is a worthy member of our class. SYDNEY A. STONE .4 Age 20 Dairy East Orange High School East Orange, N. J. Judge a man by his questions, rather than by his answers. Voltaire. Activities: Interdorm Sports, 1 ; Dairv Club, 2, 3; Horticultun Club, 2; Gift Committee, 2, 3; Gleaner Staff, 2; Editor ol Ghaner,i Editor of Yearbook, 3; Manager of class basket- ball, 2. From the wilds of East Orange, came this breezy aborigine, and a self-made one at that. There isn ' t a correspondence school in the country which does not have Al on its student list. It seems that he majored in versatility, for whether in pulpit, parlor, or cow-barn, his vast display of knowledge proved amaz- ing. Even though he cannot play the piano, Al will never be a wallflower. Watch out or Tammany will get you, and if not, Ballyhio surel ' will! NORMAN WAI. ER G -an pop Xg 2 Poi ' LTRV John Paul Jones High School Philadelphia, Pa. Life is fruitful in the ratio in which it is laid out to noble action and patient pe-seve ' ancc. — Liddon. .Activities: ISand, 1, 2, 3; Interdorm Sports, 1, 2; Track Team, 1; Manager of Wrestling Team, 2; Student Council, 2; Poultry Club, 1, 2, 3; Yearbook Staff, 3; Dining Room Committee, 3; S. S. A. Committee, 2. Ouiet, reserved, efficient, and bland, we have Norman. Always meticulously neat in his ways and in his work, he became an out- standing member of the class. With a clean love of nature, and of all that is good and beautiful, he faces the world with unflinching eyes, and an open heart. Success will surely come his way, but it will not announce its presence with trumpets. Granpop was given to him as a nickname in recognition of his mature wisdom. We wish you the best of everything, and happiness in all our undertakings. 32
