THE GLEANER I ' TNDER tlie supervision of Messrs. Gurbarg, Strong, and Ellman, the Cleaner - has become a progressive publication, with a staff capably covering news of the various departments and activities, writing stories and poems appreciated by all, and presenting humorous and serious, well-written, enjoyable material. The Gleaner will miss the services of the Seniors who contributed so much of their time and ability: Editors Weisberg and Teller, and their assistants, Males, Sernoffsky, Schalman, Grosskopf, Levitsky, Ershler, Nathan, and Bogdonoff. The size of the Gleaner was changed from 12 x I7y 2 inches to 9}A x I2yi inches early in the year. This smaller size was immediately successful, and its popularity is such as to warrant the continuation of this size for the coming year. The Administration has many times approved the Gleaner and the manner in which its policies coincided with that of the Administration. The spirit of progressiveness and achievement that is evident in the Gleaner is but a reflection of the feelings of the Administration and the students. The Gleaner is a unique publication arranged and edited by the students of a unique institution, and has met with enthusiasm, approval and success. DRAMATIC CLUB A FTER several futile attempts by interested members of the student body to - - organize a Dramatic Club, their hopes were fulfilled due largely to the sincere co-operation of Messrs. Strong, Elman, and Silverman. Student officers were elected, with Irwin Cohen, ' 42, as President; Edward Katz, 41, as Vice-President; and Philip Priemazon, ' 42, as Secretary-Treasurer. The Barnstormers was the name appropriately chosen by the Club members. On November 15 The Barnstormers presented their initial contribution to the School entitled, Curse You, Jack Dalton, a modern melodrama presented in a modern manner. The enthusiasm shown by the student body inspired the Club to greater achievements. The Barnstormers expect to accomplish much more during the coming year due to the ever-increasintr desire to tread the boards. THE NATIONAL FARM SCHOOL BAND r I HE X. F. S. Band serves as an outlet or interest for those men who do not - - desire to participate in sports or other activities. Last year the deserving members of the Band were awarded sweaters and Band letters. This served as an incentive to the new members. The past summer was a rather slack season but with the start of the football season the Band had a busy time playing at all the games. With the class of 41 go two of the regular members, and we are all hoping tiiat the new freshmen class will present the school with some musically inclined members for the band.

STUDENT COUNCIL YV7HFX the class of ' 40 left at the beginning of the year, the student council resumed activities under the able guidance of the new seniors with Augie Levitsky as president. However, after a mid-year shake-up, Males was appointed to the president ' s post and for the seniors Schalman replaced Teller, who did a good job. Throughout the year, this instrument of the student body brought about several improvements for the benefit of the students. Following in the previous council ' s footsteps, certif icate awards were presented to those deserving them. The last gesture of the council of 1941 was to sponsor a farewell dance for the seniors. The five senior representatives of the council who retired were Males, Levitsky, Groben, Katz, and Schalman. FORUM ' T ' HIl weekly meeting of this group each Wednesday night is one of the most - - interesting and educational extra curricular activities found in the school. Held under the able supervision of its faculty adviser, Mrs. Maines. the group dis- cusses current problems and their possible solutions. The meetings are held in a round table discussion form with all the dignity of parliamentary procedure observed. Some of the more recent topics discussed were on Conscription, the Lend-Lease bill and, while it was then a much dis- cussed topic, the third term. Individual opinions and heated arguments are often inevitable, all of which goes to make the meeting more interesting. Refreshments are always served and over a hot cup of cocoa or a refreshing glass of punch all amends are made. The meeting is finally adjourned about 9 P.M. and the members leave with an eye toward the next week ' s discussion. This group serves a valuable purpose at Farm School, so let us hope that it will continue to exist in the years to come. VARSITY CLUB Q 1NCE the reorganization of the Varsity Club, it has enjoyed great success, and gotten many new members. Sponsoring the school ' s many intra mural activities such as baseball, boxing, football and last but not least the basketball league, it has stimulated a real spirit of sportsmanship among the students. Ijv means of the Bam Dance, conducted by the Club, enough Funds were taised for the Varsity Banquet. This was held at a hotel in Philadelphia and turned out to be a big success. The club ' s major objective is to further the spirit of good fellowship and sportsmanship among those members who have earned the varsity F in varsity ci impetition.
