THE LAST FURROW far; CLASS OF 1937 FARM SCHOOL SCHOOL, PENNA. SJ S5i Dr. JOSEPH KRAUSKOPF, THE FOUNDER. FOREWORD THE LAST FURROW is the final effort undertaken by the Class of ' 37. It is indicative of the three years spent within the Farm School portals — three years which have taught us a new mode of life, a finer ideal, and the way to a riper exist- ence. In those three years much has happened, and to create a permanent record of these changing scenes and times, the Yearbook staff has been the chronicler. We hope that in glancing through these pages many of us will reminisce of the old days — days which we will be long in forgetting. If it recalls something pleasant, some worth- while memory, then we have been successful. That is all we wished to accomplish. At this point we wish to express our indebtedness and thanks to Mr. S. B. Samuels and Dean Goodling. Without their material aid, this work would not have been possible. THE STAFF. TABLE OF CONTENTS I. DEDICATION II. APPRECIATION III. SCHOLARS IV. CLASS HISTORY V.

WESLEY MASSINGER T HE Dedication of The Last Furrow to Dr. Wesley Massinger affords the ' 37 class one of its finest pleasures thus far experienced. Born on a farm, reared and educated in a farm community- Wesley Massinger has never seen fit to leave it. Instead, he has devoted his entire life to service for his com- munity and to the guidance of our small student body; small — but determined to carry on and emulate the example he has set. A good veterinarian, an enthusiastic teacher, and a fine and humane man. We offer to him this highest honor it is in our power to bestow, the Dedication of our last, most enduring effort. Let us express the hope that the succeeding classes of young aspirants will for many more years be afforded the privileges and pleasures to be gained by association with Wesley Massin- ger, and we sincerely hope he may have many more fruitful and active years. EDICATION DEAN CLETUS L. GOODLING 10 WE have been both pleased and honored to reserve our Appreciation for Dean Cletus L. Goodhng. He has been more than a Dean, more than an administrator at Farm School, and we Seniors realize this fully. The very worst that could be said about him is that he is inclined to be over gentle and too kindly in his ways with the boys. Would that we had more people vith such a vice! This year marks the tenth anniversary of Dean Goodling ' s relationship with Farm School, and it pleases us immensely to be the first to pay tribute to him for such a long period of fruitful and faithful service. He came here early in 1927, in the midst of one of the wildest and most unprecedented periods of prosperity. He remained here throughout the depression, and did a man-sized job in sparing Farm School from the fate which befell many such institu- tions as ours. Today we are on a sounder basis than ever, and constantly expanding. What has all this meant to us? A great deal. Dean Goodling has shown us, in the most conclusive manner possible, that agriculture does pay, is worth while, and on par with the steadiest occupations in the country. We realize, how difficult a task it has been, how well it has been done, and what we owe to the man responsible for it all. If the ten years have given a comparatively young man such results— we can expect the next ten years to yield still better successes from a wiser and mellower mon. For all things, then. Dean — for everything you have done and undergone for us — for your self-sacrificing efforts on others ' behalf, permit us to be the first of many to offer our most sincere PPRFCl VTION 11 PRESIDENT HERBERT D. ALLMAN 12 MESSAGE OF THE PRESIDENT ' X ' ODAY you leave The National Farm School, your home for the past three ■ years. Nonetheless, to each Alumnus the string is on the latch, and we hope you will often return to this beautiful spot, where you spent so many happy and industrious days. During many years it has been my privilege to interview and advise scores of lads who annually apply for admission. Some of those accepted have dropped by the wayside. You men who graduate today prove your worthiness. Having made good at the School is an indication that you will continue to do so in the real world of activity. In this changing age, brains, perseverance and good character will be required in order to attain any goal. Your contacts here with fellow students and faculty have enabled you to know each other. You are better for those friendships and experiences. In addition to your education in farm theory and practice, you have com- pleted courses in carpentry, forging and machinery. Such comprehensive training makes for competence in any industrial pursuit allied with agricul- ture. Farming as a vocation, in competition with overcrowded professions of today, offers a good living to those who know how and are willing to work. I congratulate you upon having successfully graduated with the Class of 1937, and urge that you take advantage of all fair opportun ities that may come to you on your job and in contact with your fellowman. The functions of this School are to place boys in the farming industry. If you succeed in your endeavors, the purpose of the Trustees, Faculty and those who make the School possible has been achieved. HERBERT D. ALLMAN. 13 THE FACULTY ADMINISTRATION C.

Israel came here because he has a strong love for farming, and leaves now with that same feeling plus a strong chest of knowledge. Bernstein is capable, and always does his work thoroughly. He can always be depended upon, and when working with a crew is always se- lected as the supervisor, and Bernstein knows why. SEYMOUR BLATT 106 Bayview Ave., Jersey City, N.J.

Red is known as a super-politician. He has been an officer in almost every class adminis- tration and is not a bad one by any means. To see his fiery red hair on any soap box is sufficient to swing any election. Outside of politics he is pretty good also. No airs, struts, or fibs. Just good ole Red. 18 SIDNEY BRAHIN F 5276 Jefferson St., Phila., Pa.

A poultry- man, he assures us that some day he ' ll make a great contribution to the science. We know full well that it is not an idle jest, even if it be to write jokes for some poultry magazine.

Jim is a close friend of the editor, and so we are constrained to say only nice things about him. His heart, feet and ears are as large as his nasal appendage, and the latter is terrific. Jimmy is always willing to help, and good- natured, and is nice to have around. There is no need to mention the fact that he is one of the finer linemen on our football team, an honor which he held for three years. 19 BENJAMIN DIENSTMAN 404 W. Rittenhouse St., Phila., Pa. Horticulture Horticulture Club, 2, .1; Musical Organization, }. Benjy was our greatest authority on clutches, and much to Mr. Groman ' s chagrin, five jumps ahead of him. Inventions were nothing to Benjy, for he took them all in his stride, and still had time to do a little for Horticulture. We need men like that. MORRIS P. EISMAN 1435 E. 19th St., Brooklyn, N. Y.

Known around the campus as Pop, he is the most respected, all-around man in the school today. Pop came to us from Cornell, and has engaged in more bull-sessions and more practical and constructive arguments than any other Senior. He leaves a credible mark, shown by the untiring work on the Gleaner and Yearbook staffs, both of which he served in the capacity of editor.

Danny is the little man who was such a big factor in cheering things up around here. Good-natured, witty and ready with a smile for you — that ' s why he was so well liked, not to mention the fact that as a poultryman, he was pretty durn good. Check your oil, Danny? LEON FELD 3217 W. Montgomery Ave., Phila., Pa. Landscape Jellybean is our student, star tennis player and women critic. He hails from Strawberry Mansion, where there aren ' t any strawberries or mansions. Lee is a great tennis player and hopes some day to beat Tilden, that is if Tilden isn ' t afraid to risk his title against our star. We wish Lee lots of luck in his chosen career. 21 MORRIS GOLDBERG Fairview, Pa. General Agriculture Class Wrestlins, 1. Z: Boxing M.inascr, 2; Class Foot- ball, 1, 2; Football Squad, I, 2; Senate. Maggie, so the story goes, cost Mr. Groman less this year for tractor repairs than usually is the case. He is a social lion, if we ever saw the beast, and we have seen plenty of them. Maggie is going to run the DuPont Farm some day, and after that he ' ll run DuPont. Believe it or not. RAY GOODE 38 Sprague St., Wilmerding, Pa.

The lad who was president of the entire stu- dent body, a letterman in football, and a dairy- man. That ' s a triple threat combination, you know, and it takes a good man to begat trip- lets like that. Ray also was the cigarette man, though he didn ' t smoke himself, and thus did another great service for the boys. kMi ROBERT GRUBER 558 W. 164th St., New York City General Agriculture Peaches is the calmest, steadiest, one of the most likeable men in school. He is a wow on a tractor, a star in class, and a Romeo (?). Bobby has the English type sense of humor, to judge how he takes our puns. Are we right, Peaches? 22 NATHAN HARRIS 152 Sherman Ave., Newark, N. J. Horticultu re Glcincr Staff, 3; Secretary, 3; Horticulture Club, 2, 3; Poultry Club, 3; Secretary, 2. See the picture? Well, it ' s time we realized it. Harris is our dreamer, poet, philosopher and idealist. His work has often been seen in our Gleaner issues and widely read. But that ' s not all, Harris is our amateur photog- rapher, electrician, radio man, and has so many hobbies that he hasn ' t much time for anything else except sleep.

Tiny, as the name implies, is our class mas- todon and tips the scales at a mere 300, wears a size 28 collar, and is the boy responsible for our chef ' s run-down condition.

There is no doubt about it either, to judge the size waist he sports. Jake was the A. A. expert, and a wonder in economics, especially when it came to taking inventory. Jake was a swell tackle though, and a mainstay on the line. Mr. Samuels used to get a kick out of Jake ' s playing. Ask Mr. Samuels, he ' ll confirm it any- time.

These men entering as novices in agriculture, and destined to emerge a third of a decade later as specialists in their chosen branch of agriculture, matriculated with a vast feeling of uneasiness. We were most uncertain as to what fate was to be ours at the hands of the upper- classmen, of whom numerous stories had been written in books and maga- zines, etc. They were soon to find out. The first two days we spent getting acquainted with our surroundings and schoolmates, and we found both pleasing. But alas, of a Friday night, we were cordially requested to attend a special Senior Social Affair given in our honor. And oh, after being told what we were to be for one whole year, we emerged from a rather hectic affair, a group of heart-broken, homesick young men. Many planned to leave within the week if conditions were forever to be as on that unforgetable night. However, it wasn ' t long before we got into the swing of things and forgot our homesickness and began enjoying ourselves. We all got our mutt caps and ties, and were we humiliated when we were under the scrutiny of visitors and girl friends who visited our campus, and of people passing on the highway. Were our faces red! We immediately began preparation for the annual Freshman-Junior Boxing bouts, to be followed by the Wrestling bouts. We won our Boxing Tournament 4 to 3, but lost Wrestling by 2 to 4 and a draw. This was followed by the Freshman Prom, which was the first dance that we attended at this school, and we were very favorably impressed. We all had a swell time. By this time we had become better acquainted with all those in the school and selected for our Senior Class Adviser, Edward Wascavage, ' 35. He did a good job and we are indebted to him for his advice. We also selected Professor O. A. Stongel as our Faculty Adviser. At this time several changes were made in the Faculty Staff. Mr. Fleming, our Social Director, left and in his place we secured the services of a Farm School alumnus, Mr. H. G. Brick. Also added to the staff were Mr. Antonioli, Mr. Roberts and Mr. Yoselson of the Farm Shop, Dairy, and Poultry respectively. Our next activity was-that of beating the luniors on the baseball diamond, which we did by a score of 7 to 2. We also participated in the Annual Track and Field Events, which we lost to the Juniors. Closely following this was the Alumni Reuniong, during which time we mingled with the Alumni and wondered whether we were to be like them in the near future. The next problem confronting us was to tender a banquet to the Football team for the season opening the following day. This we did very successfully and followed it by the Freshman Bonfire, which took over a week to construct and was the biggest ever built here. At this fire, which is the ultimate aim of Q class in its Freshman year, we all took off our caps and ties and tossed them into the fire, a symbol that once again we were on a par with the other stu- dents and felt like free men once more. It was our Emancipation Proclamation! Soon afterwards came the Frosh-Junior Football game, which we lost by the score of 19 to 0, but was a really great moral victory and did much to boost our courage and morale. 36 r:::W ' JUNIORS We entered into our Junior year feeling so much better for having cost off the yoke of Mutt-dom. We turned a cool, appraising glance at the incoming Freshman class, gave them the once over and wondered if we had been as bad as they when we first entered this school. It wasn ' t long before we had the new Mutts trained to jump at our slightest request. They obeyed all Mutt regulations, such as squad duties, wearing of caps and ties, and were well under cur thumb in general. This was done despite the fact that they out- numbered us 3 to 1. We then swung into our routine of class athletics with a feeling of knowing what it was all about. We lost our Boxing bouts to the Freshies by a score of 2 to 5, but retaliated and won the Wrestling bouts in an exciting match by 4 to 3. This was followed by the Junior-Freshman Baseball game, which we lost by a score of 17 to 8. We also lost the Track and Field Events to a victorious Frosh team. In the late summer we were very sorry to hear of the resignation of two of our beloved professors. They were Professor Stangel of General Agricul- ture and Professor Montgomery of Horticulture. We all wish them luck and are happy to say that they are both doing well at present. These men were replaced by Professor Purmell and Assistant Professor Weaver of the Horti- culture and General Agriculture Departments respectively. We next began preparations for our Junior Prom. After a hard month of toil and strain, both mental and physical, and constant dickering with various departments for the use of their equipment, we finally threw open the doors of the Japanese Gardens to the largest gathering ever to attend a Farm School Junior Prom. All present agreed that it was the most lavishing, gorgeous, spectacular, sensational, lovely, exciting, romantic setting ever seen for a dance. All those who attended will never forget that lovely evening at the Junior Prom of the Class of ' 37. The expenditure of labor, money and time was well worth it, to put over an affair of such magnitude and success. This once more showed the spirit of cooperation and friendship which marks our class as unique in establishing such a relationship for our three-year stay at the school. Our next activity was the Junior-Frosh Football game, which we lost by 8 to 0. In the Basketball game, however, we once more were victorious and defeated the Juniors in a most exciting and close game by the score of 28 to 26. We were then plunged into a state of mourning at the close of our Junior year by the death of two of the oldest and most respected and beloved persons on the campus. They were Miss Rebecca Churchman and Mr. Hiram Kraft of the Library and General Agriculture respectively. Those who knew them will never forget their kindly advice and interest in the students. Following this we began to seriously consider our choice of departments, because we were really choosing our life ' s work out of the six divisions of agriculture here at school. We finally made this all-important decision and looked forward with eagerness to our third and final year of studying agricul- ture at the National Farm School. Finally the year drew to a close and we watched the graduation cere- monies of the Class of ' 36, and we all said to ourselves, Gee, wish I were in their shoes now. However, we still had that last year to go and we plunged into it, determined to use all the resources at our command to successfully terminate our stay at Farm School. 37 SENIORS We now started on our last mile at Farm School, somewhat smaller in numbers than two years previous, but ever so much stronger in spirit, with the zest for an agricultural life coursing through our veins. We became blue- blooded Seniors, looked up to and respecled by all. We took over the reins of government and acquitted ourselves nobly in handling student affairs and administering justice to the poor delinquent Mutts. Our class officers for the Senior year were as follows; Seymour Blatt President Aaron Levme Vice-President Marvin Eisner Treasurer Nathan Harris Secretary Again there were Faculty changes. Mr. Fox, of Horticulture, was suc- ceeded by Mr. Zeider, who immediately won the esteem and respect of the students. Mr. Zeider left in the fall to work en his own farm and was succeeded by Mr. Lipman. Mr. Brick, our Social Director, left and was succeeded by Mr. Zeigler, who was a Senior in our Freshman year and was more commonly known as Pop and King, We undertook and successfully carried out the work assigned us in our various departments and applied ourselves to ab- sorbing the knowledge before us. And with this absorption m our work there came into practice the long known art of leg-yanking, which was practiced most vigorously in seme departments (not mentioning Horticulture or Poultry m particular). Finally our seven months industrial period came to an abrupt end and we started going to classes for the remaining five months of our stay. There we really began to learn what problems were. The Dean ' s problem, which takes five months to complete, besides all the problems assigned by our de- partment heads as well as general instructors. The final summation of our activities was this Yearbook m which you are now reading cur Class History. Much time and money were expended to make this Yearbook as outstanding among previous and future Yearbooks as was our class among all classes. Then, with activities drawing to a close, the Seniors began discussing possi- bilities of getting good jobs with good pay and how soon our rural minds were to become urbanized. And so with these thoughts in mind we tendered our Senior Prom and tried to make this last dance a most successful one and one long to be remembered. And thus endeth the 1000-day History of the Class of ' 37. If we can but make out as well in the outside world as at Farm School, all members of our class will be well taken care of and when we meet at future Alumni Reunions our spirit will surely display itself.

Doylestown was doing it proper, and farmers were plunking countless dimes to see what new scheme had been devised to separate them from their hard-earned money. But they enjoyed it, and so did I, until my dimes began to run low, and then I stopped less fre- quently. Slowly chewing my popcorn, I leaned against the flap of a dirty tent, watching the crowd move along. But not for long, for its inhabitant, an old grysy crone, placed a bony, gnarled hand upon my shoulder and beckoned me in to see the future unrolled. I hesitated a moment, but some strange force impelled me to follow the old hag and soon I was seated opposite her. Be- tween us was a shiny crystal and my gaze lingered on it. Gaze into the crys- tal .. . gaze . . . gaze . . . A new panorama was soon visible, belonging to no particular time or place. It seemed a composite of all people at any time, and certain of the shifting scenes struck a responsive chord somewhere in my dazed mind. I began to make out faces, some clear and others vague, and then things became lighter. I saw . . . A foggy day, mist enveloping everything in a blanket as thick as soup. People shuffled along, collars turned up and hat brims down well over the eyes. What weather! One of these figures of the n ight, stepping to the curb, hurriedly bent down and picked up a cellophane cigar wrapper, slipped the band, and discarded the wrapper. Then he walked along, eyes glued to the pavement, until he beheld a small group watching a newsreel photographer adjust his equipment. Inquiring, he learned that Governor Blatt, of New Jer- sey, was expected. Smiling inwardly, he walked on until he came to a well- lighted cafe. In bright lights its sign spelled the word — TONY ' S. Here he was boss, and straightened as he entered. To the left were large, beautiful murals, painted by an as yet unknown but brilliant artist named Levine. To the right, the proprietor could view a small group at one of the tables. Walking over, he was greatly surprised to find that he knew them. Malloch, the noted land- scaper; Schantz, the agricultural brain truster; Goode, the cattle importer, and Brahin, the poultry instructor at Farm School — and all here together. Tony pulled up a chair and great talk ensued. I got a letter from Gruber last week. He says he and Ben Dienstman are now with John Deere, designing their new clutches and machines. They say that Scheingold is out there, too — but is with International Harvester. This from Ray Goode. Schantz told of a trip he had taken to Washington that week and said he had gone out on a blind date with Manny Schnall, the government banana expert, and had a surprisingly good time. Manny had told him that he had just received a letter from Pitt, who was out in Hollywood making a picture with Martha Raye. Just then a drunk started to create a scene and a bouncer appeared to take charge. He bounced him, and then, at the summons from the manager, came forward. Who was it, Schectman? — Oh, it was just that guy Eisman. He ' s always drunk. 44 With quiet regained, the conversation at the table was resumed. I hear that Segal bought the ' Daily Toot ' last week for a million. Isn ' t that the paper that employs Clauser, the humorist, and Eisner as sports writer? Right. Well, Tony, we must go now. Drop us a line sometime. Goodbye. The small party walked through the door and out to the sidewalk. Across the street in bright neon letters was the sign, Fairshter ' s Gas Emporium — Check Your Oil? Let ' s go over and see him, said Malloch. They crossed over and were shown into a large office, where a man, seated at a huge desk, was counting a large stack of bills. What a reunion! More talk, wherein Danny told the others that he still heard from some of the boys. Dave Rothbart had gone to India and had become a dis ciple of Ghandi; King and Schiff had taken over the Huey Long machine in the south, and he had just read a best seller written by Srulowitz. Joe Watz was the sports prognosticator on a na- tional hookup. Stein was trainer for the Notre Dame eleven, and Goldberg was personal secretary to the DuPonts. How ' s business, Danny? Fine, Ray. In another two weeks I ' ll be able to pay off my mortgage and I ' ll really be happy. Rubin and Winderman, the realtors, hold it, you know. Incidentally, they told me that they saw some of the boys recently. Jimmy Cohen was posing for pajama ads for Esquire, Bern- stein and Lubin were in Palestine, and Pincus and Smuckler were in South America collecting butterflies for the museums. What happened to Harrison, Danny? Didn ' t you know? Why he is the head chef at Tony ' s, across the street. You just had some of his cooking. Well , I ' ll be . . . we must go now, Danny. See you again some time. So long. They left, and after a little musing the garage man relaxed, picked up a paper and started to read. On page eight was a small notice about a chap named Harris, who had recently written a new text on sociology . . . and further on a story about a certain Mendell of Missouri who had just completed elaborate flood defenses for the state. The reader sighed, turned the page, and there in a four-column spread he read that Joe Bach, a sportsman and social- ite, had just eloped with a ravishing follies beauty. Lee Feld, the famous press agent, was being sued for breach of promise, and Dan Spevak, the Halvah king, was retiring at the age of thirty. Turning to the financial page, he noticed that the financial tycoons, Rivkin and Weaver, had just bought the f amous football pro star Jacobson from a rival team for a half a million and placed him on their own team. And then I felt a slap on my chin and a dash of water on my brow. The old gypsy crone was demanding silver, and — still in a daze — I reached into my pants pocket. There was but one dime. I gave it to her and walked out, a wiser and happier man. 45 DEAN CLETUS L. GOODLING 46 DEAN ' S MESSAGE TO THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1937: AFTER three years of study you have completed another step in your lives and are now ready to attack new fields. Adjustment to a different type of life may be difficult and slow, but we have confidence in your ability to succeed, as you have done while at The National Farm School. You, with the aid of your Faculty, have acquired a practical and scientific: knowledge of farming which we hope has equipped you to obtain a good livelihood and to lead happy and successful lives. Your study of agriculture is by no means at an end. You must continue to learn from experience and study as you have done here. But we feel that you have received a solid ground work on which to build. Remember that when you leave this school and come face to face with problems which seem more difficult, you can conquer them in the same way you have tackled and solved problems during these three years. Persistence, loyalty, honesty, interest and a willingness to give your best efforts, qualities you have displayed to us during your courses here, together with the training and knowledge of agriculture you have received, are material for a rich and full life which we hope each of you will attain. Although you are now going to have new interests, new w ork and new friends, remember the Faculty of The National Farm School will follow your lives with interest and a desire to assist you in any way in which they are able. Sincerely yours. 47 MR. S. B. SAMUELS SAMUELS ' MESSAGE TO THE GRADUATING CLASS THE time has come for the departure of a class which, during the three years life at the School, has successfully fulfilled all the splendid traditions set forth by previous groups. It seems during the three-year period of this graduating class the seed for many radical changes in our economic and social system has been germinated, and in lina with these many transitions it is also proven that athletic an d social activities are vital in the program of any educational institution. The stimulus for inaugurating a program of this type is to a great measure in proportion to the spirit and enthusiasm expressed by the student body for this natural and instinctive desire for educational recreation and play. This graduating class has fully served the purpose in imbuing the remaining undergraduates with a splendid spirit of loyalty and enthusiasm in the interests of perpetuating their Alma Mater ' s tradition;;. While I am pleased to mention the Seniors who were active in the field of athletics when representing their Alma Mater, it must not be forgotten that the classmates who did not have the same standard of ability deserve to be commended for their enthusiasm and loyalty, as shown by following the endeavors of their representatives on the field of activity. The football team will lose a good captain and quarterback in David Segal, who was also an excellent blocker and good leader. Irving Jacobson, Louis Schechtman and James Cohen carried on the tradition of the good line- men which has always featured Farm School ' s system of play. The baseball team will have difficulty in replacing the loss of Morton Bach, Samuel Clauser, and Hyme Mendell. The Farm School basketball quintet will miss the val- uable services of Sidney Brahin, Joseph Watz, David Segal, Morton Bach, and Emanuel Schnall, who always gave their best towards satisfactory results. There is a feeling of gratification in knowing that this Class of 1937 is leaving as an asset to their Alma Mater because of the wonderful spirit of cooperation they have shown, and the realization that eventually they will be in a position to help the interests of their institution. We hope these young men who are just beginning to face the world will have confidence in knowing that their Alma M ater will always be ready to give its best in assistance and advice for their welfare. 49 VALEDICTORY Mr. Chairman, Members of Board, Parents, Faculty and Friends: IT ' S a goal! Did you ever hear that far flung cry on a sports field? How those fans cheered! Today we have reached our goal, and you can imagine the feeling within us. Our hearts are divided, there is a feeling of happiness, due to the fact that we have reached our objective, but there is also a feeling of sorrow because we must part from the many friends and pleasant times we have had here. During the past three years we have spent our time in attaining a fuller knowledge of the mysteries of nature, and we can say most truthfully that we have learned and accomplished much. We realize that this is just the beginning for us, and not the end. It is wrong to believe that we have learned everything within the portals of the National Farm School. What it has done, is to build a foundation for us, and on this foundation we can and must continue to build. We came here with a free mind and soaring ambitions, we leave with the thought that we have earnestly applied all of our efforts to master our project. Our prescribed course is completed and it is our desire to make good and to reflect upon this institution. So let us not be easily discouraged, as we are now physically and mentally able to seek a place in the world ' s most noblest occupation, Agriculture. To our parents and sponsors, words are not enough to show our humble appreciation and thanks for their untiring help and guiding hand. It is with the deepest gratitude that we thank the President — Mr. Allman, Dean Goodling, Faculty, and Board of Directors for their unselfishness and their always helpful hand that guided us through the past three years, and will help us meet the problems of the future. Much credit is also due to friends of the school, who have contributed so generously, enabling this insti- tution to carry on its fine work. Classmates, the time for parting has arrived. Though we must separate in body, let us not part in spirit. We cannot fully appreciate yet what has been done for us until we look back in our wake. WOODROW MALLOCH. 50 SALUTATORY Mr. Chairman, President AUman, Members of the Board, Members of tfie Faculty, Parents, Guests, and Fellow Students: N behalf of the fortieth graduating class of the National Farm School, 1 welcome you to the exercises which mark the exodus of this class. three years ago we entered the gateway of this institution with only a vague idea of the knowledge and training we were to receive. And in that time we have received a foundation on which we can build cur entire future. We have been trained and taught in specialized phases of agriculture. But all these phases of agriculture, no matter how varied in nature, were founded on a single basis. That basis, is the return of the young man of today, to the earth which sustains life: to growing plants and raising animals. It is a return to the pioneer days in the sense that we wish to make our living in the basic indus- try. But that basic industry has been developed along scientific lines, just as any other industry of our modern life. And it is along this scientific trend that we forty students have been trained. The future of specialized agriculture appears bright. The principal prob- lem of farming, that of marketing the salable products, is rapidly being solved. We have all heard and read of the cooperative markets and associations, wherein the farmer receives a fair return for his produce. With the swift growth of these organizations, we can be assured that there will be no need of worrying about the disposal of the fruit of our labor. This factor, plus the consideration the Federal and State government are bestowing upon the rural people of today, should form a more prosperous and enjoyable farm life. Never before in the history of our country has so much attention been directed towards the well being of our farmers. Not only are they being aided finan- cially, but also socially. Schools, libraries, museums, playgrounds, and recrea- tional centers, in addition to the building of better roads and thoroughfares, will lead to a fuller and more cultured rural existence. Our real test begins now, in the application of our knowledge. We soon separate to distant parts. And altho absent from our fountain source, let us make our knowledge secure; let us keep apace with progress. The portals of life are open; may we accomplish much that is worth while!

Farm School has brought to light latent abilities of many of our students and made stars of them on the gridiron, court and diamond. Many of these stars whose prowess we are familiar with have represented the Senior Class on our varsity teams and have been a credit to both their team- mates and Alma Mater. It requires hard work and diligent application to be Varsity at Farm School, and often takes a year or two until an individual can reach the re- quired standard. Our class started slow, but as graduation approaches and we take toll, we find that, though small in numbers, we have been consistently represented by good men. That is gratifying, for a class without its quota of athletes is like a rudderless ship . . . and charters an uncertain course. Ten men were on the old practice gridiron in the fall of ' 34, though they were divided unequally between the scrubs and varsity elevens. Jimmy Cohen and Louis Schectman, in the face of strict competition, were the fortunate two to make varsity positions, and the remaining eight saw to it that they had good practices. During our Junior year more of our classmates made the team and proved to be real assets. They were Jacobson, Segal and Goode. Under the clever leadership of Dave Segal, captain and quarterback of the last season, we had a truly successful season. Playing teams older and more experienced than we were, we beat them in real Farm School fashion. The ' 36 season will not be quickly forgotten. 1934 1935 N. F. S. Albright Frosh 6 N. F. S.

The basketball game is a hard grind and very exacting in its requirements of its devotees. Therefore, those of our classmates who were fortunate enough to be of varsity calibre were really outstanding, and much credit and praise is due them. Joe Watz was the sole member of our Freshman Class to make the first string. Our Junior year witnessed six of our men--Bach, Brahin, Schnall, Schein- gold, Segal and Watz — on the squad. They played a good game of ball in a season replete v ith worthy opponents and fared well. Our last turn in the limelight of Farm School sports saw our class well rep- resented by Brahin, Segal, Watz, Scheingold and Schnall on the varsity. Again one of our teams was compelled to experience a change in coaching as Mr. Zeigler took over the team. The thirty-seven team will be remembered for its fine playing, both on offensive and defensive, and the wonderful record they made. N. F. S. N. F. S. N. F. S. N. F. S. N. F. S. N. F. S. N. F. S. N.

Everybody invariably takes a keen interest in this popular sport, and there has always been a large turnout in our stands every Saturday afternoon during the baseball season. Two classmates — Rogers and Weiss — made the varsity squad the first year. The second season brought about a change in our coaching, when Mr. I-farry Brick, an alumnus of Farm School, came back to replace Mr. Fleming in his duties. Mr. Brick went to work on the squad and did as well as could be expected with the type of material we had. It has been unfortunate, but true, that for several seasons our baseball team has not been what it should be. Lack of suitable material and a succession of bad breaks have been largely responsible for this state of affairs, but it does seem now that spring will inaugurate a new era in Farm School baseball history. It was in this second season that Jimmy Cohen joined the ranks of the baseball lettermen. In the midst of our third season last spring another change took place and again we were introduced to a new coach, Mr. Bernard Zeigler, a Senior here when we were Frosh, ,who came back and took over the baseball team towards the latter portion of the season and did what he could to take us out of our slump. The lack of time and pitching ability held him and our team in check. Sid Brahin and Sam Clauser were awarded the coveled F. 1934 N. F. S. 3 Northeast Catholic High. 4 N. F. S. Temple Prep.
