We are aiming to reflect that bit of school life we shared together during which time we revealed our personali- ties, hopes, ideals and ambitions. It has been three years of simple living and in the same simple manner we present to our readers this. The Last Furrow, as the final contribution to our Alma Mater.

We entered the school one of the largest classes ever to be admitted. Our class was not only recognized by its quantity but also by the quality of men contained in it. Many of our classmates have dropped by the wayside, until now, we ore graduating with half our original number. As president of the Senior Class, I wish to extend my gratitude to you, my fellow classmates, for the fine co-operation given me during our three years as students. I am proud of you and I wish you the same success in your life ' s work as you shared with the class. = ;. Class President HAROLD HASS COMMENCEMENT is a very solemn period in the life of any young man. It is at once an ending and a beginning; a breaking away from the old ties and friendships, an ending of the spirit of youth, the period of preparation. For three years our school has been preparing the graduating class for this conflict. How well it has succeeded, only the future can reveal. From now on you of the graduating class ore to be classi- fied as men — National Form School Men . Con- duct yourself so that your Alma Mater will be proud to claim you as her own.

His walk and grin afforded us many enjoyable evenings during a dull summer. Coming from a family of Magistrates he found it easy to abide by laws. A true dairyman at heart, Eddie spent all of his time either being nursemaid to the airls at the dairy or lying in bed in his three-timing clothes bull sessioning. Never mixed in social life, but that was because he put all his energy into his work. v J ' ■ if. . LOUIS BATALSKY F BATTY Overbrook High School Poultry 5942 Chestnut Street Philadelphia, Pa.

His big grin and recitation of The Face on the Bar Room Floor has brought laughter to dances for three years. Adept at playing any instrument, Bartell can beat out a mean trumpet.

RABINOWITZ A. FERENCIK R. KAUFMAN H. HAAS ■pHE majority of the class of ' 33, one of the largest ever to attend the Natior.al Farm School, embarked on their arduous but fruitful journey on April 3, 1935. The rest joined us in June, after they had completed their high school training. The first two or three days were spent in adapting ourselves to the unique environment by which we were surrounded. Then came the S. S. A., a night few of us will forget. Here we were forcibly taught our humble posi- tions as Mutts. From this time until our junior year, freshmen were seen haunting the basements of the various buildings and curiously enough, always choosing the longest route when traversing from one building to another. We were given many other regulations which were strictly enforced by the much revered Judge Boehner and his Senate. Our first encounter with the upperclassmen was successful when Stou- men, Kaercher, Breverman, Moscovitz, Ferencik, and Sabatini fisticuffed their way to victory losing only two bouts. Not to be outdone, the juniors came back and out-grappled our stalwart huskies, 4 to 3. We took the track meet in stride, followed by the annual baseball game in which lanky Snake Mos- covitz pitched his way to victory after having suffered a terrific crack in the skull by a ball thrown from the stinging arm of catcher Bomber Crane. Few of us will forget the summer of our freshman year. At this time we were initiated to the drudgery that must be suffered by the farmer in order to obtain the fruits of his labor. At this time the student body was displeased to hear of the dismissal of Mr. Montgomery and Mr. Stangel, two of our best liked faculty members. That fall we further humiliated the juniors when eleven mud-clad heroes emerged from a sea of mud after having defeated a valiant junior outfit, 8 to 0. In the annual basketball contest the upperclassmen regained some of their lost prestige when they outscored our tossers in a hard-fought battle, 29 to 27. At the close of our freshman year we were thrown into a state of mourn- ing when Miss Rebecca Churchman and Mr. Harmon Kraft, of the Library and General Agriculture, respectively, passed away. Thus we enter our junior year. VM-.v. Till rcrv TWO ClcLAA Class Presidents H. GILBERT H. HAAS H S juniors we threw off our chains and became free men, no longer bothered with incessant squad duties and aggravating detotirs and details. We had little trouble taming the new Mutts, although we were a little more humane to the dumb animals than the previous class had been to us. We again v ' on boxing, eking out a 4 to 3 victory, largely due to Dom. Sabatini, who not being satisfied with winning one bout, proceeded to win another. This followed with a draw in wrestling and an ecsy victory in the track and field events. The personnel of the faculty saw quite a few changes. Mr. Fox, assistant instructor in Horticulture, was succeeded by Ban Zeider, who inspired us with his energetic manner of work and wit. Mr. Zeider left us in the fall to work on his own farm, to be followed by Professor Lipman. Mr. Brick resigned as social director and coach of baseball and basketball and King Zeigler followed in his footsteps. We were sorry to see our librarian. Miss Fine, resign, where- upon Mrs. Maud Matnes took over the duties as Hbrarian. Mr. Russel Weaver and his lovely wife and two children were heartily welcomed to Form School in June. We were thrown into a state of mourning when our beloved seam.- stress Mavis passed away. Then began the long work on the Junior Prom. After exceedingly ex- hausting efforts, a dull gymnasiimi was transformed into a magnificent, miracu- lous som-ething. At least that ' s what the girls told us and that was sufficient. For the second year in a row we were forced to re-enact our roles as football mudturtles to plaster out a 14 to triumph against our Mutty rivals. Our next task was a difficult and more serious one. We were to choose one of the seven departm.ents in which agriculture is divided. It seems that the enchanting cock crows and the inviting look of delicious apples were most appealing because it was Poultry and Horticulture that drafted the largest crews. PAGE THIRTY -THREE Officers H. HAAS, president J. FREEHAFER, vice-pres. B. GABRIEL, secretary S. RUBENS, treasurer piFTY-THREE strong, we entered the portals of Seniordom contented to assume the airs of patriarchs and to watch from a high throne the spirited contests between the commoners of our kingdom. After a short period of class work we segregated into the departments of our choice and for seven months we undertook the various tasks that were expected from us. Due to the illustrious coaching of our star athletes, the freshmen won their share of victories against the juniors in the numerous sports contests. The dances were very successful under the untiring efforts of the student body president and the student council. The Hallowe ' en Dance will always be remembered as the most outstanding Council dance ever to be given at N. F. S. The entire gym was decorated to resemble a barn and numerous games and Jam sessions livened up the activities of the evening. The swing band, under the baton of Hook Katzen, was the most successful musical undertaking attempted in our stay at Form School. The first seven months passed amazingly fast and we found ourselves back in the classrooms working on the Dean ' s problem and the numerous other problems given to us to tax our already overburdened minds. The new year saw several changes in the faculty. Mr. Thompson and Mr. Roberts of the Dairy Department and Mr. Yoselson of the Poultry Depart- ment resigned from the teaching staff. At the time this goes to print, no suc- cessors have as yet been appointed. Through the efforts of the dramatically minded seniors a new organiza- tion was formed on the campus. Known as the Theatre Guild , they provided enjoyable entertainment for numerous assemblies. We hope this will become one of the permanent organizations in the school. The Senior Prom was a glamourous affair enjoyed by an almost 100% senior attendance. The gym was transformed into a veritable wonderland of Bacchanalian orgies due to the invigorating punch concocted by Maitre d ' hotel Sandberg. (See footnote ) Our last job was the compilation of this yearbook, which we hope is a true symbol of the calibre of the class of 1938. As this goes to press the Senior Prom is still a month off. •ACK TIIIItTVFOUK ' a inq.

The pro- motion in inter-class and irxter-dorm sports constitutes the activi- ties of this organization. I ' AIJK FOItTY-SIX dthhtic (Dihsudoh Samuel B. Samuels THE departure of this graduating class signifies another strong link in the long chain of classes which, we have no doubt, will develop a strong spirit and school consciousness for the welfare of their Alma Mater as the years follow after gradua- tion. One of the many important aspects of an in- stitution is the interest and enthusiasm which the graduates can show in the welfare of their Alma Mater. This group of young men during their three years ' life at the school have taken a keen interest in every phase of activity and have been successful in fulfilling all the splendid traditions set forth by previous groups. It is a pleasure to be able to mention that a high standard of spirit and enthusiasm has been established by the individuals who are not competitors on the vari- ous athletic teams representing the school. The ability to show loyalty and enthusiasm, while not competing, is the real expression of spirit which is so necessary to those individuals who represent the various teams on the field of play. This type of expression is indicative of a purpose well served in educating the students not only in leadership, but also the importance of being good followers for an ideal as represented by the various team organi- zations. The various Seniors who were active on the athletic field for their A.lma Mater and will now graduate are to be commended, but it must not be forgotten that their classmates are also worthy of appreciative expression and that they are also factors in developing a splendid tradition of school spirit and school consciousness as shown by the fact that they have taught their undergraduates the importance of loyalty and enthusiasm to their school- mates by following their endeavors on various fields of activity in the interest of their Alma Mater. The football team will lose two good captains in Harold Haas, one of our outstanding centers in football history; and Elmer Rintz, a splendid back- field man and all around football player. Other men who have done a great deal to carry on the traditions of our football teams are: S. Blumenfeld, P. Rader, H. Brambly, M. Kaplan, J. Frankel, A. Happ, L. Rabinowitz and D. Sabatini. The Farm School basketball quintet will miss the valuable services of the captains, Edward Zartarian and Samuel Charlesworth, and also R. Fox, S. Blumenfeld, M. Kaplan, L. Rabinowitz and M. Moskovitz. The baseball team will be confronted by a problem in replacing the following: Captain Elmer Rintz, Crane, Meyers, Gershenson, Stoumen and Fox. It is gratifying to feel that this graduating class of 1938 can be con- sidered an asset to our Alma Mater from the standpoint that eventually they should be factors in expressing their feeling for the interest and welfare of this institution. We hope these young men will also have confidence in know- ing that their institution will always be pleased to give assistance and advice for their welfare. SAMUEL B.

Kiny EICIIT =. 1 Ualndidtohij PHILIP GORLIN Mr. Chairman, Members of the Board, Faculty, Parents, Guests and Fellow Students: The time has come for us to part. It is only a matter of minutes, and we shall no longer be students of the National Farm School, but new recruits to its ever increasing alumni. How slowly did those first few months drag, when we first came here, full of enthusiasm and soaring ambition. The strain was great and many of us fell by the wayside. The years sped by. We tasted joy and sorrow, victory and defeat; we made new friends and gained an occupation. The love of nature had led most of us to the choice of Agriculture as a career. Many were the days we were amply repaid for our toil by a beautiful sunset, or a breeze bearing the fragrance of newly mown hay. But these carefree days have come to an end. We are going out into the world in the midst of a recession . Nevertheless, we are well prepared and know no fear. The field is immense, and there is room for all. The solution to the farmer ' s problem lies in his co-operation, amity and education and not in competition and rugged individualism. There is no surplus problem but one of faulty distribution. These all could be conquered peacefully by education and research. The cities of the world are overcrowded with people who would find contentment on the farm, but who are blinded to this fact in their mad quasi for elusive fortune. Our government is making a sincere effort to solve the rural problem, so let us all co-operate. With a united front, confidence in ourselves and our ability, determination and sincerity of purpose, success is surely ours. Thus, I bring this message to a close by extending the sincere appre- ciation and thanks of this graduating class to all those gathered here, who were instrumental in guiding us for the past three years and those whose generosity made our education possible.
