Dr. JOSEPH KRAUSKOPF, The Founder. tft FOREWORD THE Last Furrow is the last work of the Senior Class of ' 36. In it we have tried to depict, by means of words and pictures, those things which have been dear to us at Farm School. When turning through these pages in future years, it is our hope that each page will bring back to you a treasure chest of memories. — THE STAFF.

F. S. Agricultural Chapter LEE WERST, 1931 This book, The Last Furrow of ihe Class of 1936 is dedicated to the Alumni Association of our school. It is only in a comparatively small way that we students can show our appreciation to these men. They have done much for us. Their major efforts have been directed in our behalf. By dedicating this book to the Alumni, we wish to make them realize that their work does not go unappreciated. We remain ever grateful to the Alumni Association. EDICATION ALUMNI TO GRADUATING CLASS OF 1936 TX7ITH its background of 40 years achievement, your School has earned a high position as one of America ' s outstanding agricultural institutions. This pioneering school, founded in 1896, is still pioneering, always keeping in the van our paramount objective — to afford farm-conscious young men a vocational career, in all branches of agriculture. The limited oppor- tunities afforded at the School ' s inception should be obvious to the graduating class of 1936, when they compare the initial period with its few acres, small faculty and equipment, to the enlarged institution you are now leaving. Nevertheless, we can point with pride to many who graduated over a genera- tion ago, now leaders in agriculture and staunch supporters of the School. I am confident, that you, too, as members of your Alumni, will help to the end, that others may enjoy the privileges that were yours. You have secured employment. Life on the farm will not be as easy as your school days here. But I beg of you not to become discouraged if conditions do not break just as you plan them. The beginning of any career is invariably an uphill struggle. Hence patience, courage, and perseverance should abound in your consciousness. Many of the world ' s captains of in- dustry and other successful men of affairs started on their careers, often with little, if any, training. They overcame their limitations by strength of purpose. There is always room at the top for those willing to learn, even though they start at the bottom. The men and women who support this Institution and your instructors only ask in return for their time, energy and means that every boy who leaves our gates shall prove himself a true citizen, a credit to himself, his family, his friends, and his Alma Mater. HERBERT D. ALLMAN, President. JN PRESIDENT ALLMAN we students have had an inspiring leader. His unselfish work on our be- half and his numerous other difficult tasks has given us an ideal toward which to strive. We can only repay him by proving ourselves worthy of his efforts. THE CLASS OF 1936: THREE years ago we welcomed you to the school as Freshmen. At that time the depression compelled us to make retrenchments. For that reason your Class was considerably smaller than the preceding classes and you are graduating with fewer in numbers than the previous classes. While your Class is smaller, we believe you have benefitted by receiving more personal attention from your instructors. Realizing that you are going out into a changing world and also believ- ing that the future in agriculture requires a man of business ability as well as a skillful operator, we have stressed our work along those lines. In order to be successful in agriculture, it is no longer sufficient to be an average producer. Agriculture today can be divided into three classes; those who are producing less than the average and making a failure; those who are producing average and making a living; those who are producing above aver- age, who are known as successful farmers. It was our aim to train you for the latter class and we hope we have done our work well. Therefore, all we can wish for you is a successful career. t . i . C. L. GOODLING Dean of The National Farm School QNE of the pillars of our school we found to be Dean Goodling. His agricultural knowledge and his ability to win the faith of the students has proven him an able administrator. His is a difficult task and as such we all appreciate it. MR. J. C. THOMPSON Z3ass A ivise: HS FACULTY adviser, Mr. Thompson ' s was the quieting and steadying hand. Our troubles were his and he saw us through them all. He rode with the class over many a difficult bump a nd for his many trials and tribulations it is difficult to show our appreciation. Thanks, Mr. Thompson, you saw us through. PPRFCI VTION G. GELLENS Class President QURS has been a small class. Nevertheless, small in numbers though we were, we managed to set a number of precedents in the school. A characteristic feature of our work at school is the Last Furrow of 1936 , put out through the co-opera- tive effort of the entire class. THE FACULTY ADMINISTRATION C. L. Goodling, B.Sc, M.Sc, Dear.

Ill for the past year, Miss Churchman nevertheless kept in touch and was a great influence upon us all. Her death was a source of grief to both students and FRESHMEN... NOVICES •THE very heavens themselves foretold the coming events upon the venturing of sixty would-be agriculturists into Farm School. We came during the latter part of March and early April in a noisy ostentatious parade. According to the sign of the Zodiac (Lydia Pinkham ' s Almanacl, March is the sign of Pisces or Fishes, which is followed by April ' s sign of Aries or Ram. During March the upper classmen made poor fish out of us on that memorable first Friday wherein we wondered temporarily to what mad house we had come. The following .April they rammed us ' out of the annual Freshmen-Junior boxing matches by a 4-3 score. It would only be fitting to mention the latter happened despite the super-violent attempts of the cham- pions of our cause, namely: Meyer, Fuiman, Mazer, Pearlstein, Ringhoffer, and De Cinque plus the frenzied support by the class. Adversity had made us kindred souls and as such we would not be heeled. under the baleful influence of our freshmen environment we were half-Nelson ' d out of a soul-satisfying victory in the final bout of the freshmen- junior wrestling match by a 4-3 tally. And all this despite the two bouts won by Mazer in addition to the sterling attempts of the rest of our boys including Smedley, Fuiman, Katz, Ringhoffer, and Wolfish. When it came to the annual track meet with the Juniors we out-did ourselves when we overwhelmed them with a humiliating 57-22 count, we followed this up with a slugging 14-33 victory in baseball which compensated for our two previous mishaps. By now many of us had scratched the surface of agriculture, so to speak, and the thrill of the land and livestock had us fast. Football season had waxed and waned and to fit the occasion, it seemed as if the very elements were against us. : ::batl to the Juniors 6-0 on a howling, bitter cold day. Still the spectre of luck dogged our footsteps, but as the law of breaks would have it, we lost 19-18 in a see-sawing contest of baske It was at this point that the Rehabilitation group was welcomed whole- heartedly into the student body. We also wish to thank Morris Plevinsky, ' 34, for his part in champion- ing our cause in his capacity as Senior Adviser .... JUNIORDOM. . .STATE OF ROYALTY As Juniors we entered into a state of independent existence, where we were no more troubled by habitual squad duties, mutt caps and other vexa- tious nuisances. We straddled Farm School ' s firmament like the Colossus of Rhodes with due respect to the seniors. Taking up the reins like skilled teamsters, we guided the freshies in the principles and instincts of being freshmen. After thus breaking them in, our class undertook the responsibility of maintaining a harmonious atmosphere. In athletics we inaugurated our Junior year with a defeat which wit- nessed the Virgin Freshmen punch themselves to victory in the annual boxing matches, although our boxers acquitted themselves royally. With bitter retaliation, we twisted them into a pretzel, taking all honors in the wrestling matches. However, the mutts insisted upon not being the under- dogs in a tightly-contested baseball contest as was evidenced by their de- ned and victorious stand. We further proved our superiority when we ran and jumped with unbeatable eagerness to undisputable triumph in the track meet. The summer rolled along smoothly and so did we with preparations for the prom under the able guidance of Larry Mazer. And so on a romantic night in September our long anticipated Junior Prom bloomed to what could be considered an unforgettable occasion. The smooth music, unsur- passable decorations, and soft lights which were arranged with tiring efforts, gave us all a feeling of pride and appreciation for our attractive orna- mentation. In the fall we were overwhelmed with the spirit of football and the poor freshies were overpowered with the penalty of defeat in a decisive battle with a 19-0 score in our favor in the Junior-Freshman football classic. Nevertheless, the stubborn spirit of victory in the Freshmen ranks found us on the bottom of a close score in the basketball game. Withal the year was very successful and colorful, giving us all the confidence and determination to firmly walk the paths of Seniors. Class elections resulted in the following officers: First Term President Levitt Vice-President Boehner Secretary Klein Treasurer Kancepolsky Second Term President Boehner Vice-President Schuck Secretary Klein Treasurer Henry SENIORS. . ENTHRONED Alas we ventured into the portals of Seniors feeling as unconquerable and mighty as King Richard the Lion Hearted. Two years we anticipated this term, foretasting in sweet illusions, its reposing serenity. However, it didn ' t take long until we came to the realization of the responsibilities to the after Farm School and to the many serious positions we were entrusted as Seniors. With the best of our abilities we triumphantly coached the freshmen into innumerable victories in their athletic encounters with the Juniors. Under the skilled leadership of the student body President, Alvin Kahn, our dances seemingly showed new improvements with more elaborate decorations and an unusually good orchestra. As a whole the Senior Class proved very efficient in all school acti- vities, inspiring spirit in the band, on the athletic fields, and in actual prac- tical work which our curriculum involves. Our concluding month brought forth a blaze of activities, such as the Senior Prom , graduation party, senior banquet and countless other memor- able affairs. The entire year was one of busy activity, though saturated with many joys, it also introduced a stimulation for a more serious attitude, consequently more thought was inclined towards the much weightier prob- lems confronting us. Thus, with acquired confidence, knowledge, character, and other com- forting attributes which our Alma Mater has imparted to us, we complete our metamorphosis at Farm School with many grateful thanks for its gifts. Elected officers of our Senior Class were as follows: President Gus Gellens Vice-President Al. Boehner Secretary - - - I. Klein Treasurer Bill Henry MEMORIES Memories! Memories! Memories! Ah, It is sweet to be wrapped with reveries. Of school days with action so cheerfully filled; Three years that were with splendor thrilled. Our Alma Mater N. F. S. In glory may it ever rest. A spirit of enlightenment it has fixed Within the hearts of our class 36 . Tis pleasant to refresh those days When life was limited with dismays. Youth predominated so highly glamorous. Yes! Remember we were all so amorous. The innumerable friendships we have molded. Have made our hearts with memorable joys enfolded. Delightful are dreams when our class did mix In the zestful campus life of the class 36 . Memories! Memories! Memories! Ah! It is sweet to be enchanted with such reveries. Entranced with reminiscences of consoling thoughts, We part with thanks for what Farm School has brought. —CARL PEARLSTEIN. Lasker Hall General Agriculture yjE KNOW the effort to bring you this far has been worthwhile. Our interest in you paralleled that of any craftsman who helped a competent apprentice to complete his training. If we have developed your abilities to make you more skillful; given you knowledge necessary to make you self-reliant; and con- vinced you that honesty of purpose is vital no matter what the job, then we are satisfied. The really fine pieces of work in any vocation are the re- sult of knowledge, skill, and the determination on the part of the workman, to produce nothing but his best. Our thanks, for the many ways you found to make our work easier and consequently more pleasant. May we wish with you that your first position will be to your liking? WALTER GROMAN. MR. HIRAM KRAFT TOURING the formation of our year-book, a great misfortune befell Farm School. A friend of the students and their beloved teacher passed away. Mr. Kraft was a symbol of Farm School, having been a part of the school since its foundation. Future students are unfortunate — for they will not have the guidance and the knowledge of Mr. Kraft. He was our friend and his passing is a blow to us all. SIDNEY ADLER 212 E. Highland Ave.. Germantown. Pa. G. H. S.

Wanamaker St., Phila., Pa. Band, 1, 2; Mgr. Class Baseball, 2; Year Book Staff, 3. Gil was one of those strong silent men who know all, see all and say nothing. But when he got started — ??! We wondered why he just couldn ' t keep those tractors from turning over, but now we know that the creek was covered up by brush and impossible to see. However, Gil was an earnest worker and the world sure has need of men like him. WILLIAM HENRY 133 Grandview Rd.. Ardmore, Pa. Lower Merion H. S. Class Baseball, 2; Treasurer of Class, 2, 3; Sec. of Council, 3; Sec. of Senate, 3; Year Book Staff, 3.

Sellersville Perkasie High School Class Baseball, 1, 2; Council, 3; Year Book Staff, 3; Varsity Football Manager, 3; A. A. Board, 3. Klem was without a doubt the best farm machine man in G. A. and we are looking forward to his making a name for himself in his chosen field. He spent his time handing out equipment to the football team and watching the clock for Mr. Samuels. He made a success here at school and we certainly hope it goes with him after graduation. J 4f t MARTIN SALINE 85 45 98 Street, Woodhaven, N. Y. Class Wrestling Manager, 1, 2; Band, 2, Assistant Leader, 3; Librarian. Fu was the man who kept the band in step and led them to strut their stuff on football days. Just sing a song and he ' ll harmonize with you. Besides music he loved horses and took good care of Mr. Groman and his trartors. He ' s one fellow we want to see make good.

Walt , as he was known to all, will long be remembered as first-baseman in baseball and as playing nursemaid to our football team. When it came to wrapping bandages or healing sores, none could excell him. Walt always could see the funny sides of life and his light heart and good humor will never be forgotten. Returning Alumni find in this house a warm welcome. It is a symbol of the Alumni Association — hospitality and comradeship. POULTRY DEPARTMENT J LTHOUGH poultry had but two Seniors this year, the depart- ment was efficiently run. These men showed their capabili- ties by so efficiently running the different branches of the work. They are well equipped to carry on such efficient methods and add much to the outside poultry world. To them the best of luck! — c. J. TOOR. GUSTAVE GELLENS 1921 Andrews Ave.. Bronx. N. Y.

We see only the best for you, Gus, on your farm. LAWRENCE MAZER 723S Rutland St.. Phila.. Pa. Pennington Prep.

We often wondered where he spent his Saturday nights, but now we know and wish to express ourselves by saying, We wish you luck Larry and — E — . Horticulture, Landscape and Floricultu re J IFE is a struggle for better things, be they material or intellec- tual attainments. Knowledge, skill, sincerity of purpose and perserverance are essentials to your success in life ' s pursuits.

The nose knows the way, and it sure proved to be true in Bender ' s case, when he started talking about trees and shrubs. Sunny sure knew all the scientific names, and we are looking for big things from him in the future, he certainly kept up the good reputation left here by his brother. DAVID BLOCH 44 Chicago Ave..

Pres. 3; Poultry Club, 1; Hoit. Club, 2. Vice-Pres., 3; Year Book Staff, 3. Rev earned for himself the respect and admiration of all his classmates early in our freshman year. He is an ace in every sense of the word. A few words with him is sufficient to convince you of his good qualities. Rev was the Rose of the Greenhouse and Mr. Mayer ' s right-hand-man and as a student there were few to sur- pass him. We see a bright future for you Al. MOHRIS J. GOODMAN 2558 Augusta Blvd..

In other words th? newsboy who made good and became Mr. Purmell ' s right-hand-man or was it leg. Morry was capable and always tried to do the right thing. He was one of the biggest romeos in the class. His girls were as varied as the colors of the Rainbow. He is a fellow who can be depended upon and for that alone we predict great things for him in Palestine where he hopes to go. BENJ. KANCEPOLSKY 201 Madison St., N. Y.

He proved himself by the life size drawing he made of our good friend Monty . By the way, he also trimmed the tresses of the tripping romeos of the school. Barber, scholar and artist — he ' ll go far. ISIDORE KNOP 533 S. St. Charles Ave.. New Orleans, La. S. J. P. High School Freshman Baseball, 1; Hort. Club, 1, 2, Sec. 3; Poultry Club, 1, 2; Pres.

Known to most of us as Hairy , he soon convinced us of his ability in such subjects as botany and chemistry. Harry ' s main ambition in life is to perfect a coreless variety of apples, and to plant onions so thickly, that they will smother out the weeds. We are looking for big things from you, Harry.

What — nose you not of the great jazz king Judy Schwartz? Well, Judy without a doubt was the best musician in our class. He could make Rachmaninoff ' s Prelude in G Minor sound like Underneath the Harlem Moon . Besides his talent for music, however, Judy was a Hort. Man and we are looking for big things from him.

Wally was without a doubt the most outstanding athlete of our class as is well attested in the list of activities above. However, Wal was also Mr. Mayer ' s left-hand- man down at the greenhouse, spending as little time there as possible. When Harpo wasn ' t playing ball or water- ing the flowers, he could be seen imitating Gilda Grey. He also made a good coach — here ' s hoping, Wal .

Al is headed for Cornell after graduation and we wish him all the success in the world in his chosen field. BENJAMIN FREIDMAN LaSalle Apts., 12th Lindley Ave. Gratz High School The one and only radical of our class. He could always be seen walking through the halls with a large edition of Webster under his arm.

An excellent Dairyman, the Editor of the Gleaner and The Last Furrow which is enough to show his outstanding ability. In the class-room one could often hear It ' s false and I object coming from Mike which would start an argument that lasted at least fifteen minutes and proved to be a great help for those that neglected their studying the night before.

Best of luck with the Brown Swiss, Klein. EMANUEL GINSBERG New Orleans, La. Isidore Newman School Livestock Club, 2, 3; Class Basketball, 1, 2; Class Track, 1; Three Timing Esther.

Ginzy became noted for his willing- ness to three time for anybody and he had plenty of chances. E-Manuel is an Ayrshire man through and through. We sincerely hope and believe that in the dairy field he will go far. ■ r i 3fcjr r ' £( i M tifi siiLi SSiB 1 t i H ■•■• ,«-, Penshurst Esther, Grand Champion Ayrshire at Harrisburg Farm Products Show, 1935.

MEYER per Class of ' 36 Witnessed By, G. Gellens H. Saxe E. Ginzberg PROPHECY IN THE FUTURE QIOOD-BYE and Good Luck Fella; A Happy Landing, Morry; Regards to the President, etc . These exclamations and many others kept coming from my beloved friends upon my leaving Palestine for a long awaited vaca- tion back to the country of my happy youth. I never was so happy in my life as I am at the present time. Through this wave of joyful hysteria a bit of anxiety crept; Gosh! Why aren ' t they here? Are they going to miss the takeoff? Hell, I hope not! — Why! Why — I see them! Dave, Dave Block you old Son-of-a-Gun, and Ben, the Count, I was afraid I ' d have to leave with- out seeing you all. You also Kahn, and Klein, you almost gave me heart failure with your delay. Morry, said Kahn, I hope you find this trip very pleasant. I hope you come back with stories, incidents and puns to relate to us. My good- bye to these old friends was touching; finally, the screech of the strataplane, — yes, I ' m really on my way. It is evening, we have left Haifa far far behind; it is quiet, the stars twinkle so gayly, such a multitude of them. They looked that way 30 years ago at Farm School. Farm School, peculiar it should come into my thoughts now. Why — no! It is not, it ' s natural, I ' m going back, am I not? Back, back after 30 years. I wonder how the rest of the boys stuck together. We five, hardly separated since; Kahn, now the respected Mayor of Tel Aviv and still the same quiet, reserved, resourceful man he was at school. Then Ben, the celebrated Palestinean artist, his love for the outdoors still can be seen in the rural scenes he has depicted so masterfully. Block is now manager of one of the largest Dairy Cooperatives in Palestine. What pleasant thoughts these are. I must be sitting here for hours, meditating upon the past and present; how drowsy I feel — Wake up Sir, here we are, Roosevelt Field, New York . What? V hat? Oh, thank you, I certainly did fall asleep didn ' t I? Why who are — Adler! What are you doing here? Captain ' s uniform, eh? Goodman— it ' s been ages since I ' ve heard from you. Yes, so it has. And you, you ' ve plugged along with the mechanical ability acquired at Farm School to this great height. Captain of the Record- Breaking Strataplane the ' Sea Gull ' . What are you doing tonight, Morry? Nothing? Good, join me for dinner at the Gelkins Hotel. What time is it, Och, here he comes, who has he got with him? Gus Gellens of all men. Well, Morry, allow me to introduce the proprietor of the world-renowned Geykins Hotel, known everywhere for its incomparable Dining Room. How ' s the newsboy, Goodie, what are you doing now, still peddling papers? No, Gus, I ' m head Plant Pathologist for the Hebrew University in Palestine. I ' m here for investigation work and incidentally, also for a vaca- tion. Know something about the rest of the class, Gus? Yes, a little, Henry and Klementisz are partners in a firm of Consult- ing Agricultural Mechanical Experts. You know with agriculture machinery as complex as it is now, men with their knowledge are valuable. Then, also, Saxe has 300 acres in Perfecto Apples in Pennsylvania, which, by the way, is the only coreless apple in cultivation. Shafer is Professor of Dairy Genetics and Breeding at the University of New Mexico. He wrote me that Cohen, who is Head of the Experimental Station there, just perfected an Anti-Baccilian ingredi- ent which when fed to cows will keep all bacteria out of the milk. Gosh it ' s late, isn ' t it? I must be going, it was good to meet you Adler, and you too, Gus. I ' m taking the Air-taxi to Farm School. Ha! Made it in a half hour, I recall the time I left school (without per- mission) for New York during the Christmas holiday, took 6 hours then. Here I am. Gosh, where am I, is this Farm School? Look at that 10 story building. Oh, I ' ll inquire of this gentleman. Pardon Sir, can you — Knop, Huey Long Knop, why — why — ' Goodman, welcome back to Farm School. Why the surprise at the surroundings. Let me explain. Farm School has developed so fast and has acquired so much recognition that the Federal Government has concentrated on us and made us what it is to-day. Incidentally, do you know that Schuck is Dean and Gilberg is the Farm Machinery head. You know, don ' t you, that Mr. Goodling and Mr. Groman have both been retired with honor, also Mr. Schmeider whose place I took 15 years ago. The week I spent at Farm School was great. The associations, the atmosphere, the food, it was grand. I can ' t forget the pumpemickle bread from Altman ' s Baking Co., we didn ' t have that in my days. The control for corn ear worm as demonstrated and described to me at school will be in- dispensable to Palestine. Now I can introduce corn to Palestine; hot climate, corn ear worm, nothing will stop it now. Judy Schwartz ' s name will be agricultural history for that boon to mankind alone. Here ' s my destination, good old Reverend, what a treat to see Boehner again; I hope Knop wasn ' t wrong about the address of Boehner ' s whereabouts. Glass, Glass, everywhere. Is this all Boehner ' s property? Here ' s the house, I may as well ring. Pardon, sir, does Mr. Boehner live — Why, Boehner! Hello you old fossil — how is the greenhouse king? Good to see you Goodman — come in; oh, may I present Mrs. Boehner and the kids? So you say, Al, that you handle the hot house end of the business and Bendersky the nursery end of it, splendid combination I think. Say, Morry, did you hear about Wimpy Robinson, he has a huge ranch out west where he raises Aberdeen Angus steers to supply his nation- wide chain of hamburger shops; is doing well too, though he ' d do better if he ' d leave the hamburgers alone. Fuiman, you know, is managing the herd for him. Al, t his week-end spent here was marvelous, before I go I want you to promise to write. The U. S. is still the land of opportunity and achievement. The years advance, science progresses, life continues, and the beauty of these various regions of the U. S. still exists. Must be getting closer to Chicago, in fact I ' ll be there in, seven minutes. — Union Station; Good old Chi! Wonder what ' s become of all my friends here? Whack! Cough - Cough! Goodman, you old soak, heard from Meyers that you intended to stop off at Chi. Come, you ' re going to be my captive guest. By the way, how is Meyer coming along? Well, Bruskin, he is having a little trouble with the racketeers in Cleve- land due to his editorials in his Cleveland Press. They are trying to get him to resign as Editor-in-Chief by putting pressure on him. But he ' ll stick, that spirit acquired at Farm School can ' t be defeated. And you — you ' re the successful manufacturer of athletic supplies now. I was told that Spalding Co. had to merge with you. Did you know, Morry, that Mazer, yes Larry Mazer, is coaching the great Rutgerdame University? National champs for three straight years. He simply followed Sam ' s footsteps and now is the greatest football authority existing. Incidentally, speaking of coaches, Waldman was just appointed Backfield Coach of next year ' s U. S. Olympic Football Team. He ' s coaching at Pennsyltucky Teck now. What a week, what a city, Chicago, and boy some headache. Bruskin is too fast for me after my segregated life in Palestine. Think I ' ll write another letter to those four pals of mine in Palestine. It ' s been some time since I wrote them. HELLO GANG, I wish I knew how to relate in detail my latest experiences here. I ' m sure you ' ll appreciate them. Fellows, we ' ve left something wonderful behind here in the U S. I only hope that we were all compensated when leaving this wonderful land by finding in Palestine that intangible something that makes one ' s life more com- plete, happy and contented. The developments here are miraculous. The agricultural discoveries are many and varied. You have no idea what new thoughts, new ideas all pertaining to agriculture will come back with me. It will be an agricultural renaissance for us in Palestine. Imagine sweet corn growing in Palestine, field corn too. no worries ever corn ear worm, imagine growing coreless apples, but there are so many things that I ' ll keep them to myself ' till I can relate them to you in person. I ran across some more people that I knew years and years ago, among them some more classmates of ours. I attended a lecture one evening in San Francisco and noticed on the program the speaker of the evening was none other than Mr. Carl Pearlstein, B.A., M.A., Ph.D., the great Labor Advocator. I saw him after the lecture and spent a pleasant evening with him. One point of special interest he told me was that Friedman, remember Ben Friedman, was doing research work for the Soviet in Russia on pedigreed cattle. Another time I was in the southern part of the country investigating citrus developments in Louisiana. And out of a clear, blue sky. while talking with a citrus grower, I heard a nasal voice ■with that typical Louisiana drawl right behind me. It sounded familiar, so I turned around and gazed right into the twinkling eyes of Ginsburg. He opened his mouth -when he recognized me. It turned out that he had a large dairy farm a few miles from this citrus grove. Imagine my surprise while in Hollywood one afternoon, when I saw an ex- clusive beauty salon with the slogan, Eeauty by Saline . Of course the real sur- prise was when an unknown person slightly resembling our Saline, in fact who was our Saline, stepped out from the shoppe. Yes, his is the last word on feminine beauty now, a real authority. You wouldn ' t know it to look at him. Another time I was frightfully embarrassed at one of the better hotels in Detroit. It seems that some women thought I was the man who had burglarized her apartment. I was relieved, however when the hotel detective turned out to be Smedley. Of course, a one-half century bill quieted him and so the story didn ' t leak out. Later the woman realized her mistake. In another week or so I ' ll be returning to you boys, so get ready for stories a-plenty. So long. Gang. Four months I spent here, and now I ' m on my way back. I ' ll never forget how sleek and fat Mirell ' s pure-bred Duroc Jersey hogs looked. Guess that ' s why they bring in such a fine premium. Ah! Roosevelt field again and there is my Strataplane ready to take off. We ' re off, it ' s peculiar how I feel, I love both countries yet to live in one I must leave the other. —MORRIS J.

We have been tillers of the soil, and the ties that bind us to Mother Earth, we hope, will not be easily severed. Our contacts and our bands of attachment to her have been too strong for any breach. We have great faith in farming. Great industries may expand quickly and fall just as suddenly, but agric iliure is the fundamental industry whicfl must go on if the nation is to exist. Several years ago the cry was raised thill too many farms were being abandoned and that a back to the farm i was needed to safeguard oui supply of food. This was purely r::c:: ganda by a few well meaning :e::!e. Due to the advent of machinery fann- ing was undergoing necessary changes, which were ir.ierpreted by some as, an exodus from the farm to the city. Although such adjustments will continue, it is with reasonable assurance that we observe the stability of farming as : ::: : = :ed by the return of thousands in the last year to the farms. In our Freshman year we had an indistinct idea of what Farm School really was, and what it would mean to vis. During these few short years we have l€ link :or ourselves, meet our small tasks with courage, and to things tc see the tr e side of life. It is with the deepest ie, in cur hearts, that we thank the Faculty and the Board of Directors for their untiring care and ever-ready advice that guided us through the past few years, and prepared us to meet the larger problems we see looming ahead. Today we go forth to settle in all sections :: the United States, to fulfill the duty we feel placed upon us, and to become such men, as to uphold the honor and glory of our Alma Mater and of ourselves. A. BOEHNER, ' 36. ■ H NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN THE Class of 1936 will g: Farm School ' s athletic history as the pioneering group towards a new athletic policy which already is proving very successful, and is resulting in a greater spirit and interest amor? the student body and the various representatives of the athletic teams. This new Athletic Board, through the efforts of its Chairman and Trustee, Mr. Charles A. Kahn, has been concerned with an athletic policy which will work for the interesi of the student body and the athletic representatives. The inaug- uration, beginning a few months ago, has been very successful, and no doubt will work towards wonderful achievements. However, the members of the graduating class, not athletically inclined, have been great factors in setting an example to the undergraduate classes in their willingness and faith towards co-operating in the new deal policies of this Athletic Board. The Senior Class, this year, has been an important factor in our splen- did school spirit and enthusiasm towards their representative athletic teams, and the success of these aggregations, especially the football team, can be traced indirectly to the enthusiasm of the student body, which is always in- fluenced by the Seniors. The inspiration of all athletic representatives comes from the spirit of the students with whom they live every day, and I am pleased to say that this wonderful example set by the Seniors can be pointed to with a traditional pride for other classes to follow. The athletic achievements of the past year have been in line with the usual high type records of many teams, and this is especially true : football team, which will keenly feel the loss of Captain Bruskin, and such men as Mazer, Airman, Schwartz, and last but not least, Morton Waldman, who is a splendid example of a small man, by grit and determination, prov- ing himself to be a valuable member of not only football, but also captaining the baseball and basketbal teams. The baseball team will also keenly feel the loss of the same individual, and the same can be said of the basketball team in reference to Waldman. It is my fervent hope that the members of the graduating class will continue with their splendid spirit of co-operation in all movements, and show the same type oi courage and determination in all undertakings, being pre- pared to face the trials and tribulations which are the natural events in the course of one ' s career, and remembering thai In adversity the yellow leaf falls, but the green one turns to gold .

However, as seniors the class turned out six players who proved to be the backbone of the team. In 1933 the team playing on the field of battle did not include any freshmen, however, the part played by our 36 scrubs will long be re- membered because of the great fight and spirit shown by them. These men were the unsung heroes of that year. Nineteen-thirty-four found two of our classmates in the starting lineup, both of whom proved to be a great asset. In the backfield the heavy batter- ing of opponents ' lines by Snatch Katz, and the great playing on the line by Bruiser Bruskin p rovided many a thrill to the onlookers. A great blow was felt by the team early in the season by the loss of Katz who succumbed to a leg injury which prevented him from playing the remaining games. The records, although showing 4 ties and 1 defeat, meant little because of a very- tough schedule and the many handicaps due to injuries throughout the season. Nineteen-thirty-five found the team getting olf to a slow start but after the first few games they started clicking and continued the old Farm School tradition of fight till you drop . Although one of the lightest teams in the history of the school, it will long be remembered by the great spirit and fight shown. Outstanding this year was the defeating of an undefeated William- son School team. Knowing that Williamson was coming down here expecting to go home with a perfect record, our boys went out on the field and gave one of the finest exhibitions ot football ever performed by any of Coach Samuels ' elevens. This great team was backed up by six of our classmates. Playing on the line was Captain Irving Bruskin at left tackle, while Bull Altman played the other tackle position and Judy Schwartz earning his letter at right end. ihe bacKtield was composed of Mazer, Waldman and Pearlstein. Others to earn their letters were Block, Klementisz and Schuck. FOOTBALL RECORDS 1934 N. F. S Albright Fresh 6 N. F. S 27 N. F. S Nassau Institute N. F. S 26 N. F. S 15 Westchester Military N. F.

Brick, Coach Watz, Charlesworth, Brahin, Kaplan, Breverman, Fox, Waldman BASKETBALL t ARM SCHOOL, during its decade of basketball activity, gained the reputa- tion of producing high calibre teams equal to any in their class. In the last three years, against keen competition, this reputation has been main- tained and the class of ' 36 can feel justly proud of its efforts to uphold this criterion. In our Freshman year the Farmers completed a difficult schedule, losing only three games. In our second year there was one member of the class of ' 36 holding down a Varsity berth. The diminutive Harpo Waldman, our only repre- sentative, played in every game, and had many outstanding feats chalked up in his favor. The season ' s percentage proved high as in preceding years. The Senior year found Waldman, captain of the basketball team, and Smedley its manager. Waldman proved an ideal captain; he was an in- spiration and a shining light on the team. The fighting spirit and never-say-die attitude of the team proved to be one of its outstanding features. The 1936 aggregation had the honor of being the only team during our stay at Farm School to win its opening game. All in all, the ' 36 quintet has upheld the same standard of its predecessors.

Brick, Coach Seated: Fox, Kitchen, Schuck, Waldman, Bach, Rintz, Cohen Standing: Mendel, Herman, Crane, Brahin BASEBALL A LTHOUGH in cur three years ' stay at Farm School, there were no excep- tional baseball teams, those that represented us were better than fair and put up the usual fight for which all Farm School teams are famous. The 1933 season was opened with victory in the first three games after which only one more game was won. During the Southern game, Waldman, going in as a substitute, played a spectacular game at shortstop and from then on did not miss playing in a game. Getting off to a slow start in 1934, the team lost the opening game to N. E. Catholic High by the score of 3-4. However, from then on the team picked up and knocked out run after run to walk away with the next four games, until they lost a heartbreaker by the score of 12-10 to Lansdale High. Although this team was only fair defensively, it was one of the heaviest hitting outfits to play in recent years at Farm School. Waldman, playing a brilliant game at shortstop, was elected captain for the following year. Nineteen-thirty-five proved to be the poorest season of our three years stay, the team winning only two games. However, the fight put up by our boys at all times overcame the fact that we were more often on the short end of the score. At the beginning of the season, Mr. Brick, our new coach, was confronted with the building of a completely new team, having only Waldman back from last year. The class of ' 36 produced two fine ball-players in Bruskin and Schuck who with Waldman earned their letters when the season came to a close. BASEBALL RECORDS N. F. S 4 N. F. S 9 N. F. S 14 N. F.

This August group of men carried out the duties of an executive and judiciary body. They had a large share in molding freshmen into the N. F.

FREEHAFER 69 THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY THE oldest Agriculture Club in the school was awakened from its dormancy this past year and again attained to the rank of its past high standards in club activity and achievement. This was made possible through the zealous and sacrificial work of its members, officers, and sponsor. Our Open Houses were privileged with such speakers and men of accomplish- ment as Mr. Bearin, Plant Pathologist and Geneticist for Burpees; Mr. Bishop, Master Farmer and Member of the U. S. Potato Control Board; Mr. Greenwalt, our County Agent; and also our own dynamic Mr. Purmell. Also, several talks were given by men experienced in the practical commercial world. The interest of our sponsors, first Mr. L. S. Montgomery and then Mr. David Purmell who continued the excellent work was one of the principal reasons for our success. DAVID BLOCH.

FOX -o LIVESTOCK CLUB THIS was the most active organization in the school besides being the largest. Through the club, many distinguished speakers were brought to the school. Members took part in fitting and showing a group of cattle at the Doylestown Fair. They also organized and ran a large show of their own which played a big part in the success of the June Big Day. For their own entertainment they held a Pow Wow and a banquet, besides presenting informal debates at meetings.

CHAIRMAN, PRESIDENT ALLMAN, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD, MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY, PARENTS, GUESTS AND FELLOW STUDENTS: TODAY marks the summit of the hopes of a group of young men who entered this school three years ago with a cherished anticipation of acquiring an agricultural education. During the three short years spent in pursuit of this objective we have encountered joy, sorrow, victory, and defeat. Were we to sum up the whole situation, we could truthfully say that this period has formed an epoch in our lives, never to be forgotten. We are fullv aware of the fact that this is not the termination but the commencement. We are freshmen once more, ready to embark on a career that we have been contemplating for many years. We realize that there are many things for us to learn. It is a fallacy to believe that we learn everything behind the walls of schools, colleges, and great institutions, where theory is taught in the classroom and practice taught on the field. It is not until we face the world that we come face to face with many problems that experience alone can teach us to. solve. The path will not be one of roses, but of thorns to be worn smooth as the years come and go, by the application of the knowledge we have acquired here. We realize the competitive nature of life and have striven to bring out our most favorable points to meet the critical attitude of the world. Because of these things, we may be certain as each man goes out, he will not be easily discouraged by obstacles. To Dean Goodling and the faculty we want to pay due tribute. With their guiding influence, the road to success will be less steep and the problems we are apt to face will be subdued with the knowledge acquired by their un- tiring teachings. Much credit is also due the Board of Trustees and friends of the school because their philanthropy has enabled this institution to carry on its noble work. We cannot fully appreciate at this time what has been done for us. I has often been stated a student never fully appreciates his Alma Mater until he is out in the world and looks back in retrospect. We can never forget the pleasant times and carefree days that were a part of our stay here. We face the future with a smile, confident and with an eagerness to meet all that fate may have in store for us. W. HENRY, ' 36.
