1939 HARVEST 27 OVER a period of many years the athletic aggregations representing your Alma Mater have accomplished a great deal towards developing a highly respected athletic tradition. This has necessitated the exemplification of all the fine traditional principles to be gained from team work and a strong spirit for the school and co-operative, organized play. There have never been teams which were confronted with the problems of material comparable to the aggregations which represented your institution this year. It is a well known fact that the football and basketball teams both competed through schedules with the same strong competition of the previous years and achieved highly successful season in spite of the problems of numbers and material. Great credit should be given to Schull as captain of the football team and his departing classmates, Van Horn, Needles, and Foody, as representatives of the football team. The basketball aggregation will also lose the splendid services of Schull and Jacobson, the latter also representing the baseball squad. It is hoped that the object lesson of courage, determination and many other virtues which were necessary for these athletic teams to be successful against overwhelming odds will be reflected as an inspiration to the outgoing seniors. There are many splendid opportunities awaiting each individual, provid- ing he can meet the challenge when the time arrives. It is important to remem- ber that in these days of economic stress and social chaos the road will not be easy and I can best express my wishes with the following: When you get into a light; place, and everything goes against you, till it seems as if you couldn ' t hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time the tide v ill turn . . . . — Harriet Beecher Stovfe.

1939 HARVEST 29 FOOTBALL CRISP autumn air, brilliantly colored leaves, and chrysanthemums bring to the mind of the Farm School student what is the most important and popular of the sports of the athletic program here at school. Football has been, is, and always will be the nucleus around which student life revolves from the first week of August to Thanksgiving. The Class of ' 39 will be remembered for having contributed many of the turf-pounders which become cogs in the gridiron machines mentored by Coach Samuels. The 1936 season was a successful one. We lost to St. Thomas College frosh and to the Ursinus College Jayvees. The only other snag on the sched- ule was Williamson Trade, with whom we tied on Thanksgiving Day. The following season was almost an exact duplicate of ' 36. We lost to Montclair Teachers ' and the Stockbridge Aggies, and tied the Ursinus Fresh- man team. We won five games to end up the season in the black. The 1938 season ended with three wins, three losses, and one tie game. The outstanding games on the schedule were the Ursinus Jayvae tie, and the wins over St. Thomas Prep and Stockbridge. The Class of ' 39 did its part in contributing material for the team and was ably represented by such stellar performers as Lupinacci, Emil, Jacobus, Cohen, Praissman, Schull, Van Horn, Foody, and Needles. Nickman was the Board of Directors through his managing of the team. N.F.S. 27 26 20 7 6 13 6 105 FOOTBALL 193E Bloomsburg Teachers New Paltz Normal School Camden Vocational School..
