OTiMAR SILBERSTEIX Guest speaker Bayside, L. I., X. Y. 2, Bundes Gymnasium Otto had the job as editor of the Gleaner dumped into his lap in the middle of his senior year, and in a few short months turned out more issues than had been seen in the previous 12 months. Silber need never fear of making a living if he ever decides to leave farming, for in his three years here he is said to have made more speeches than SO Congressmen at election time. A camel is a light eater compared to this lad, for at each meal he seems to store up enough vitamins to keep an ordinary man going for a month, but no sooner has he finished eatmg, than his appetite gets the better of him again. Other- wise he is quite normal unless he sees Red. Having made up his mind to do something, Otto really digs in and finishes the job to the best of his ability. Xo dilettante when it comes to agriculture, he really has his heart in his work and will be one of the better farmers of his communit -. «5SS5«S5««i5«?©e«« 5 S««4»S« i» S5« ?Bi MEN= OF THE OTTO STEIX Little Dean Yonkers, N. Y. Giinther Ross Real Gymnasium The youngest member of our class, Little Dean, will be no older at graduation than most of us were when we entered school, but he lost no time in convincing us that his middle name was Precocious, and soon developed into one of the best mechanics in our class. His nickname, Little Dean, evolved from the fact that he seemed to know everything about anything that was going on at our different farms, plus the fact that he seemed to have a slight hold on the pedal extremities of some of our instructors. Regarding the opposite sex, our budding Romeo has stated that he will chase no woman, but would condescend to let the women chase him, which is all right if he can get away with it. Our Yearbook photographer was a great help when there was any work to be done for the class. Otto has a quick and retentive mind and has proven that he would be a valuable addition to any farm, and would soon make himself in- dispensible. SOIL •« fS«s5«sg5 « « ««« « S «s S««» « «« '

URIEL SCHOENBACH ■■Uri New York, N. Y. Newtown High School All around the world, down to Manhattan and Farm School, Uri soon convinced us that New York left the greatest impression on him. One of the askinest fellows of our class, Hel- muth at times competed with The Brain and Benny, in asking some of the — est questions. The Dr. Hyde part of Uri ' s existence was filled out with writing poetry, which had quite a peculiar charm, playing on various instruments working hard down at the dairy, and playing the oomph girl in our dramatic performances. The latter made Ann Sheridan look like an old hag. Never shall we forget how anxiously Uri was expected on the cam.pus only to disappoint the carnivorous upperclassmen because he wasn ' t the wise guy they were waiting for. I ' ri is definitely headed for better things in life to which a stepping stone will be a professor ' s job at the U. of P. l AUL SCH ' ARTZ ■ ' Rebel Columbia, S. C. Columbia High School One of the Ality JMites ' ' of our football team, little Paul had the annoying habit of getting tan- gled up in the legs of our opponents, and stopping them dead in their tracks. The Rebel came Nawth from Columbia, So. Carolina, and received a warm reception at Farm School. With Georgia and ' Bama to back him up, the Civil War was fought again and again (verbally). He began to trap in his freshman yea r and by the time he was a senior he had rid the campus of many a Woods Pussy, but although he knew their habits, the skunks caught on to him occa- sionally, and the fact that he had not ducked quickly enough, soon became obvious to us all. Rebel has at times been accused of being a Yank (look away) but that is only because he took a real interest in his work, and we know that when he has gone home to roost, his will be the layingest birds South of the Mason-Dixon Line.

HERBERT WEISER Sechel Brooklyn, N. Y. Newtown High School Elmhurst, L. I. F. D. R. certainly missed up when he left out Herby in making up his Brain Trust. But it is just as well, for he would have deprived us of many glad hours. Always cheerful, whether as a cheer-leader or at the peak of his success as a basketball Varsity man, the Brain ' was at his best on dance week- ends. Maj be it was his personality, dancing, or some hidden character, but Herby sure had a way with the women. You could see Herby mooching things once in a while; but then, he majored in Landscape. He is very sensitive on that point, in fact we understand that he started to return all the butts he borrowed. He is also said to have paid up all the dances in his Senior year. Our Brooklyn representative was quite apt in the landscaping field. Unless he is called b) ' the already mentioned Brain Trust, we expect to find Herby remodeling the parks in Brooklyn. GEORGE WINDHOLZ M ' iiidy Chattanooga, Tenn. High School R. G. VHI At the beginning of his senior year, Windy laid aside his books on medicine and concentrated on the dairy, and it was not long before he knew more family lines than any royal genealogist. It ' s too bad that the Doc wasn ' t around when we had so great a food surplus for we feel sure that if he had been, the supply would not have been equal to the demand. Taking his dairy work very seriously the Herd Sire could be seen in many conferences with Mr. Cook, and Professor Ingham, in fact we hear that nothing would please George more than having charge of our prize herd. George, like one of our first presidents, lived in liis hermitage surrounded by his minions, and dabbled in poetry which appeared on the pages of our paper. Sincerely interested in his work, George keeps himself posted on the latest developments in his field, and we feel sure that he will be a valuable addition to any farm.
