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.

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
