YEARBOOK EDITOR ' S MESSAGE T ISREGARDING the cheers from the grandstands and the jeers from the - bleacherites, our small class hurries off the field of action leaving behind them the dust of three memorable years of Farm School life. Entering Farm School at one of the most critical periods in its history, we were confronted with the skeptical remarks of the upperclassmen and the unfor- tunate conditions then prevailing. However, we assumed a neutral attitude towards these school affairs and grimly determined to stick it out and find for ourselves a happy future in Farm School. The grinding down of our class to a finished product wasn ' t as hard as was thought. Such abrasives as routine farm work and strict upperclassman punish- ments soon chipped off the loose particles of our constitution. Some very valuable men were lost, but the product left by such vigorous treatment will be appreciated for its qualities of sturdiness and durability. Our class does not boast of any outstanding individuals. The ideal of our class has been for each individual member to share the class responibilities and to execute his proportionate amount of work to the best of his ability. It was this enthusiastic co-operation that has carried our small group through the trying years of the class ' history and is now the principle force which governs Farm School ' s entire social and agricultural life. The Class of ' 41 has truly realized the meaning of co-operation. .And as a member, I know that in an}- enterprise of life its members may choose, this ideal will appear continually, reminding each one that individual success is not attainable unless accompanied by a co-operative spirit.

APPRECIATION The Class of 1941, acting as an impartial jury, witnessing the whole procedure, announces that: We have found Samuel J. Gurbarg guilty in the re-establishment of the true Farm School spirit. We hereby sentence him to twenty years at hard labor, as the Social Director of The National Farm School. Our class, in particular, is indebted to him for his guidance and teaching of which he gave so freely. We thank you. Air. Gurbarg, for all you ' ve done. This yearbook would not only be incomplete, but would fall short of its purpose, if the name of Samuel J. Gurbarg were not singled out. The Class of ' 41 are competent character witnesses acting in favor of Air. Gurbarg. We entered the School when everything was at a new low. We leave a school now where a fine spirit of friendliness and co-operation pervades every nook and corner of the campus. This change of spirit and our way of living here has been the most outstanding achievement of the School ' s transition.
