4-.lv BASEBALL Although our football team is given credit for an excep- tionally fine season, it must not be forgotten that our very successful sports season, on the whole, was started by the victorious record of our Farm School Baseballers last spring. With a record of five wins and one defeat. Farm School opened up 1942 in victory. The Farm School team, with four Seniors on its roster — Captain Goldfarb, Resnik, Charlesworth, and McKinney, lost its first game by a nar- row score 7-6, but then the Fighting-Hearts-that-couldn ' t- be-beat returned to win the next five games by consider- able scores, ' e avenged our one and onl) ' defeat by beating our first conquerer, X. J. School for the Deaf, 5-0. Heart) ' support was given the Seniors by two Juniors, Raben, next year ' s captain; and Milligan, and by six Freshmen, Brunwasser, Steinman, Mascino, Moritz, Schneidman, and Snyder. We played such teams as Fort Dix Medical, whom we defeated 4-3, and Olney High, 5-4. Temple Prep proved to be one of our most sensational victories. The score resem- bled that of a football game, 17-0. Throughout the entire season, the whole team was kept sparked up by the very helpful chatter of Captain Goldfarb, and the entire infield. This spirit spread even to the Braintrust of Managers, Orner and Nabut. Coach Samuels, it seemed, formed a group of inexperienced players into one of the most suc- cessful baseball teams in Farm School history. It is grati- fying to know that such an achievement was accomplished during the last year of the present Senior Class.

FOOTBALL For a group of wholly inexperienced football players hindered b} ' the stress and strain of wartime, the Farm School football team in the fall of 1942 has achieved an enviable niche in Farm School ' s Hall of Fame. With the aid of only four letter men from last year Coach Samuels took a group of inexperienced men and molded them into a miracle team. The Bulldogs in playing a tough six game schedule succeeded in winning five and tieing the last game 0-0. This was the first undefeated and unscored upon season in the history of the National Farm School. A highlight of this season was a defeat handed the New York Aggies of Farmingdale, L.I., in a revenge game, giving N.F.S. the virtual championship of the Eastern Agricultural world. This alert eleven was captained by Leon Goldfarb, stabilized and spirited by seniors, Moe Lipeles, Al Orner, Rebel Schwartz, and Jerry Groff, who were the factors which enabled the team as a whole to be led on to such great football fame. The Bulldogs can wish for no better future than to keep rolling along in the same fashion.

BASKETBALL The 1943 Basketball team kept up the enviable record by adding a sixth straight successful season to the Farmers ' list. The competition was keen, and the players had to give their all to make such a showing. Dining the past season, the pressure on our players was really hard. Such games as Temple Prep, Malvern Prep, P. S. D., and ' alley Forge, made us use all the stamina acquired during our work as well as all the skill Mr. Samuels so painstakingly taught us. Our motto, Fighting Hearts, We Can ' t Be Beat, didn ' t play the smallest part in our success. As usual, the Seniors were the backbone of the team. Having had a long high school varsity record, Jimmy Charlesworth showed us a game, which will be long re- membered. Moe Lipeles, was a very spectacular player. Mien hot, Moe provoked applause which seriously en- dangered the foundations of our gymn. Herby Weiser made the varsity during his Senior year, and he proved to he a great asset to the team. We have to mention the underclassmen: Dick Raben, yVlbert Brunwasser, Jeff Steinman, Jack Gurewitz, and Seymour Freed to complete the picture of a really out- standing team. Keep the Bulldogs rolling in the future, boys!
