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-
