1933 CLASS HARVEST OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL 1933 MEMBERS OF THE 1933 GRADUATING CLASS:— ' HESE are critical days for everyone. The pioneer age of America is over. You are entering a new era, vhere ability, education, and sincerity of purpose are necessary to success. Farming, if scientifically engineered, offers opportunities equal to those of any other profession, business, or vocation. Do not become discouraged with your job or because of present-day conditions. Do not look citywards, w here jobs are greatly overcrowded and living conditions are not comparable to those on the farm, where the beauties of nature surround you. It is true, the farmer today is struggling for a living. So are millions of others throughout the world. Farming is too important an industry, however, to remain depressed. When prosperity returns, agriculture will also improve. There is a permanence about farming. Humanity must be provided for. Therefore, our graduates now entering upon their life-work should not allow themselves to become disheartened by what they hear or read regarding present poor farm conditions. For those having a genuine love for the open and the necessary exper- ience and capital, this is the proper time to purchase a farm. Those lacking funds should save and bank their earnings, to the same end. Starting at the present low level, the new farmer w ill be benefitted when good times return. The Faculty, Trustees, and patrons who make this School possible, are interested in your success. We hope you will make the best of the training you receive here. Only v orthy young men mentally, morally, and physically fit, are admitted to The National Farm School. Therefore you start on your paths well equipped for your life w ork. I congratulate you upon having successfully majored in your vocation, and include a fervent hope that the Class of 1933 may become a credit to themselves, their country, and their Alma Mater. HERBERT D. ALLMAN.

1933 CLASS HARVEST OF THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL 1933 ,0 those who have shown themselves true friends to Farm School; to those who ever rally with love and devotion around the standard of their Alma Mater; to those who are facing with us the current problems of school life, greetings. The years covered by the publication of the Year Book as seen in retrospect by the school as a whole, differs only in degree from that seen by the individual. A few hopes have been realized, many fond ambitions have perished, many promising plans have neither flowered nor fruited, and only a few of many needed changes have been accomplished. The future is in the hands of time; but that the school may continue to grow in value as w ell as in the number of students; that the present good feeling may wax and not wane, that the prevailing activities may in- crease rather than diminish, must be the wish of every friend of Farm School.
