C ' ' , TRANSITION Yes, we came from the city, as did our fathers before us. Instinct told us to follow in their footsteps, but in searching for our future security we chose Agriculture as our field of endeavor. Through the vision and foresight of Dr. Joseph Krauskopf, the Founder, we had the opportunity to study practical and scientific agriculture at The National Farm School. We gave up the superficial luxuries of the city for the full, well rounded atmosphere that accompanies living in the country. To the thirteen of us, the trials and tribulations of farming are insignificant as compared to its heart-warming rewards: a healthy mind and body, a closely bonded family life and the joy that goes with seeing the birth and harvest of one ' s own efforts. We hope to make Agriculture more than just a mere occupation, a way to earn a living — we aspire to make the soil OUR WAY OF LIFE. L adLcatLon ' v . ' ' They le-ft the familiar fields of Farm School to do their part in preserving the right which seems to manifest itself particularly in Farm School men — to live and think as free individuals. Before they departed, these soldiers of the soil had already completed more than half of their agricultural education and in living with us, they have become indelibly imprinted upon our memories for all time. It is our fervent wish that all this has not gone in vain — that when the swords are at last beaten into plowshares they will return again to the soil, to join us in OUR WAY OF LIFE.

' ' ' : ,es V ' ° FRCULTY In our three years at Farm School, we Seniors have seen many Faculty members both come and go. On the whole we have missed all of them and it can truly be said that we have bene- fited greatly from the various experience each possessed. I he old adage Variety is the Spice of Life can be appropriately applied to our Social Directors and we have had close contact with three. Each one has impressed us with his fine individual character and because Social Directors are so closely associ- ated with the student body, they will not be forgotten. In the midst of our Senior year, it was our good fortune and that of Farm School to see Dr. Louis Nusbaum assume the Presidency of our Alma Mater. In the short time he has been here we Seniors have been impressed with his friendly manner and willingness to cooperate. Dr. Nusbaum ' s heartfelt interest in Farm School should do much in raising its educational stand- ards and as Alumni we will look forward expectantly to having Farm School become an agricultural institution of higher learning. Looking up at the familiar faces above, it is with sincere re- gret that we realize that Dr. Wesley Massinger has left us for life in the beyond. The spirit of this good humored good na- tured Country Vet will always remain at Farm School. The Class of 1944 upon leaving Farm School readily realizes that our Faculty was under strain and adverse conditions this past year. Nevertheless, for their continued interest in teach- ing, we sincerely thank these men— not only as educators but as friends. JCAS, OHIO January 20th, 1944, Dear Seniors s In the spectacular development of industrial civilization in the United States, the vital importance of agriculture as our fundamental Industry has been overlooked during the past seventy- five years. More and more in recent years the fact that agriculture is the foundation of our whole economic structure has been apparent. It will become more apparent as we emerge from War into the period of re- adjustment. A sick agriculture means a sick economy and eventually a sick or dying civilization America has need of a new generation of pioneers - not pioneers who cut down the forests and ploughed up the prairies and all too often devastated the good earth, but to put into practise new methods of agriculture which will heal and restore the earth. The future of agriculture is a great future, in the world, in America, and for the individual, there is no field of activity in which a man can better serve his country than in that of agriculture. There is no better life than on the land, no fuller, richer, more satisfactory or more exciting existence. Lo ui sJBawnrfTata frn ' ' m IP- ¥ y y f « • , -.

Although a dairyman in his work, Jochem was a beekeeper at heart. As one of Mr. Schmieder ' s few annual disciples, he helped in the reconstruction and improvement of our apiary department. Joe had one weakness: women. Though he tried hard, he never seemed to be able to find his ideal. Of course everyone will always remember the overwhelming and dynamic charms of a certain one — but he Is still in search of hIER. As an accredited member of the Farm School intelligentsia, Jochem became very active socially and showed his ability and talents by becom- ing the Alumni editor of the Gleaner and by playing a flat (sic) clarinet in the band, hie possessed a striving spirit and he showed it on many occasions as Mr. S. B. Samuels will be gjad to testify (football and otherwise). Scientific agriculture is Jochem ' s ambition, and we feel sure that before the century is over. Doctor one more question will be involved in some world shaking problem. M. 1 m TUVIJAS GOLDOFTAS From war torn Europe, Tobi came to this country a little over three years ago, and entered our fair halls a short while later. hHis progress was remarkable — from the shy boy who could not speak anything but broken English, he rose to become the Editor of the Gleaner, raising it to a high cultural level in the face of adverse conditions. Although his correspondence with girls Is bountiful, his heart remains true to The One . Tobi lived up to the title of Hort Peon , and proved himself one of the ablest and responsible workers of our class, hie had his fingers In every pie and managed to take advantage of practically every extra- curricular activity In school. He was a representative of his class at the student council, the stone hearted and permanent class treasurer and the French hlorn of our band. Also in his Senior year Pete came out for football and promptly managed to make the Varsity. Sincere and conscientious, Tobi plans to continue his education upon graduation. We wish him all the luck in the world, and know that he succeed. ;i 5?c..i; %H|gr BERNARD KASLOVE Ben came fo Farm School on the proposition that he be given every week-end off, and nobody will deny that he took full advantage of that privilege. As time went by, the boys started making bets whether or not Ben would be found in school on a week-end. Many a fellow lost his shirt, for somehow or other Ben always managed to go to New York four week-ends a month, and often five. Although nobody understood him in the beginning, the name Rema soon explained everything. hlorticulture was fortunate enough to have him take up the culture of fruits and vegetables. There, Ben soon acclimated himself and became a conscientious and responsible worker. There is no doubt that Ben has contributed much to the class ' success in inter-class sport and social activities, becoming Exchange editor of the Gleaner in his Senior year. By nature, Ben was, and still is, a quiet person, but many times he surprised us with his latent humor and subtle wise cracks. With ambition and perseverance, Ben will become a success in any- thing he undertakes. ■Mr ty M 1; ' ■ S - ' • ' ■ ' r c ♦i v m i MARTIN NABUT His appearance belied his middle name — Marty was far from a wolf but you do have to give him credit for trying. Short and inconspicuous, Martin was a terror with women in his own little way. Although he never had one of his own, he was not bad with those who belonged to others. Wolfingham injected his particular type of humor into life at Farm School and it made his companionship more than worthwhile, but, brother . . . when he went into one of his moods he was out of this world, including that of his classmates. Not an athlete, Marty ' s services as hHumor editor of the Gleaner and his managerial duties with the Baseball Team helped him make joshing enemies. Possessing a great deal of background-on the subject, because of his experiences at the Farm School, Marty expects to complete the Wolf- ingham Edition of How to Win Friends and Influence People . Make way, s+and aside, for here comes Pretty Boy . His presence makes women stand in adoration and men gnash their teeth in jealousy. Dick wins the title of our class lover , hands down. When not engaged in these amorous activities he was one of our out- standing athletes. Captain of the Baseball and Basketball teams, Dick was also a capable and powerful halfback on the Football Team. Com- ing out in his Senior year, he became one of a fine group of Senior players, whose abilities contributed to a victorious season. Majoring in General Agriculture, Dick acquired a tremendous set of muscles. hHowever, despite his physique, he spent his nights in deadly fear of someone cutting the pompadour which he flaunted on his gor- geous head. Richard Raben will most likely end up in one of the related fields of agriculture — notably. Landscape Architecture. H A. ■« X i ' oft ?9 HARRY GRANSBACK Harry came to Farm School in April 1941 as one of the original nine of our class. Since he had some experience in Floriculture and other branches of farming, he secured very high marks in his industrial work — even to the extent of knocking down a cool 98 in General Agriculture, the highest mark ever attained in that department. His success at Farm School can be traced to the fact that he always was very punctual and worked faithfully and diligently without com- plaint. He has gotten along very well with all the classes, taking all kid- ding on the chin good naturedly. Harry, a confirmed women hater in his first two years, developed into quite the contrary in his Senior year (with a filing index at that). He was a member of all the now extinct clubs, band manager and tuba player for three years. Some day he hopes to have a fine home and family in the heart of the Pennsylvania Dutch land in the fertile val- leys of Lancaster County. 1 ••is HERBERT MOSCA Thin, silent Herby came to Farm School with but one thought in mind — to major in Poultry. Now, at the end of these three years, his aim has been achieved, hie has been found to be one of the most easy to get along with persons in Farm School. Herby ' s success can be attributed to a combination of two virtues: he was always very quiet .and he never (really never) argued. hHerb supported his class implicitly — taking part in infra-mural sports, even to the extent of throwing his knee out of joint before the Freshmen- Junior game. He was an ardent club attendant while the clubs existed. His favorite subject was Veterinary Science, but his chief pastime was taking care of the brooder house: he averaged the highest hatch in his Junior year. Herby ' s lifetime ambition, of course, is to own his own poultry farm, but he will never forget his days at Farm School and will always welcome visits from his classmates. Expecting to be a family man, Herby suggests that we bring ours along too. .■4 1 i J : M JACK GUREWITZ A great deal of the three years that Jack spent at the Farm School was passed in the dining room, for he was the slowest eater in school and could be found there finishing his meals long after everyone else had left. When not eating, Jack could be found in his proudly painted blue room , pondering over his desk, writing a detailed manuscript to one of his newly acquired loves. With the free time that he had left, Jack managed to take part in many school activities. He was President of the class. Editor ot the Yearbook, trainer of the Football feam and varsity player on the Basket- ball team. He could very rarely be found alone. If you wanted to locate him, you just had to call for Freedy and lo and behold there was Jack. The two were inseparable friends. There is little doubt that he will be a successful poultryman. With his famous glib tongue, he will have little difficulty in convincing his chickens to lay plenty of eggs. ' ii yW ■m f- edu SEYMOUR FREED his three years at Farm School, I name — all of us know him and w has hardly ever I remember him Seymour Freed, ir been called by his fu as just plain Freedy. Being slightly shy, and finding difficulhy in expressing himself when excited, did not prevent him from becoming the President of the Stu- dent Council. His keen competitive spirit won him the Varsity letter in Basketball and the captaincy in Football. In the romantic vein, Freedy has not yet come across the personifica- tion of his ideal — no doubt his patience will be amply rewarded. If he did. not possess patience before he met his room-mate, he has it now — for Freedy was the perfect opposite to the slowest eater in the school, and waiting for him at each meal endowed him with this fine virtue. Being able to come from behind and earn well deserved breaks gives Freedy the qualities that will enable him to own his own poultry farm in the very near future. 1 . ■ ' • ' l? RICHARD H. KUSTIN D ck Do It All has been such an active participant in Farm School s social life that his own room-mate hardly knows what he looks I ke When he was not lugging football paraphernalia, sweeping the gym or supervising a squad duty, he could always be found sticking his probosc s nto either an electric circuit, or somebody else ' s radio — his own was always on the blink. He attended every dance with a pocket-load of fuses, screw drivers, a pa r of pliers and tape. That extra bulge was for the tobacco that keep h s stovepipe priming nine days a week. H s many activities — Vice-President of the class. President of the Ath- et c Association Board, Student Council Secretary and member of the Gleaner staff — were never neglected by El Profo, for the only time he slept was n chapel, which he was usually too busy to attend anyway. An expert electrician, a practical poultryman, a staunch Farm School booster and a swell fellow, his success in farming is assured. ir ' ?i   f ' - JACK W. LIEBER Because of his extensive, extemporaneous public speaking in Galitzia and Tasmania, it was easy to decide that Jackson was the foremost ora- tor of the class. If, by some incomprehensible chance, his argume nts were not convincing enough, Yankle was quite capable of knocking the heads of his audience together. His build was sometimes argument enough. Jack prowess as a hard hitting guard was reflected in his social life. Known as a mauler of women — catering to a damsel ' s whims was defi- nitely out of his mind. It was a common sight to see Jackson with his camera slung over his shoulder while at work and at class. This, and previous yearbooks, can testify to the flne quality of his photography. This poultryman was also a follower of mystic art and many a dull party was rescued by this versatile magician. An extremely practical and factual person, there is no doubt that Jack ' s poultry farm will be an apex of labor saving perfection and a fine success. ih ::%W i v - ' v ' k DAVEY W. GOODMAN Dave was a good addition to the famous Thirteen , establishing him- self as both friend and renegade. The other partner of the ' 44 Cafe , Skinny could easily be recognized by the knife that was dangling from his belt, hie prided himself on having the best collection of guns and knives to decorate any room in Farm School, hlis love for firearms prompted him to join the Pennsylvania State Guard (attaining the rank of sergeant), and he proved his shooting ability by killing off much of the excess vermin in our poultry units. In his Senior year, he became Sports editor of the Gleaner. Though public opinion was sometimes against his editorials, he stuck by his opin- ions solidly. Goody proved his business abilities by doing a good job as business manager of the Yea rbook and the Gleaner. Some day, Davey hopes to greet us on the sandy soil of his Long Island chicken and vegetable farm. f. ' . .m I ' ' ' IRVING WALDMAN Irv was conscientious, and therefore he made a fine record as a poul- tryman. Called Sleepy by his friends, he acquired his nickname be- cause of a hay fever incident in his freshman year, and not because of his attitude towards school and school affairs. Half of the partnership of the ' 44 Cafe , Irv was mixed up in the laundry concession as well as other affairs that went on in room 8. Sleepy — a good shot — knew how to handle a gun easily and it was not long before he was showing his own room-mate tricks. hHe did his bit in making room 8 the sportsman ' s room of Farm School. Irving was usually quiet, but he did have the power of coming out with the right (or wrong) crack at the right time. He became very aggressive in the presence of red, but experience taught him to allow fate to take its course. Irv believes in letting the future take care of itself, but would like to own and manage his own poultry and horticulture farm some day.

(I5u ike l Uuudicle J f « ■ ' m.l hen The big bad Seniors go rumbling down the walk and from each tree or clump of brush, frightened pairs of innocent eyes watch their every motion with terror. These persecuted underlings are the Farm School Mutts . But for the grace of God and Father Time, we too, would be Mutts ... we were ! ! ! From all parts of Djipip, men from near, and men from far, swelled our ranks until we were twenty-six strong. Completely diversified in thought, interests and shoe size, we banded together to become the greatest little class ever to haul manure. Believe us, we hauled! We soon learned that a great day was in store for all of us, under the misnomer of Student Social Activities . The frightful anticipation was much uglier than the dreadful reality. It was indeed a good, dirty, old fashioned Farm School hazing. It helped us immeasurably to prepare for our first year of peonage . These atrocities were avenged by the good all-round competition we scrimes put up in our interclass games. They had a tough time beating us 7-6 at football, but we shellacked them to a tune of 28-9 in basketball. The leaving of the Class of ' 42 awakened us to the reality that we had the nonsensical privilege of being proud Juniors. By the time the new class arrived, we had already lost three members. The Southern Mansion , theme of the Junior Prom (composed of stout pillars of bushel baskets) was the first accomplishment of our Junior year. It will live long In the memory of all who attended. It was in this. our Junior year, that our class endured its greatest mortality. Pressure from all sources motivated the exodus. Our Junior baseball team was not able to beat the powerful Freshmen and a formidable aggregation of scrimes opposed our valiant football team. We were so weak in num- bers that we had to draft a one year student to complete our ranks. We did not win the struggle, but we worked up a terrific appetite. So great was our appetite that we staged a banquet at the Fountain House in Doylestown. Though basketball was our best sport we lost the game against the Mutts by a marginal score. At the end of this memorable year a dance was given to the departing Seniors. In four days the gym was converted from a basketball court Into a beautiful garden. We now acquired full responsibilities as Seniors in the various depart- ments. Gone were the foolish pranks manifested In our Junior year. The stately Senior Prom was so well decorated that the decorations remained for Harvest Day, a Barn Dance, and a few other occasions. Our class continued to dwindle, and our last departing classmate was given a shindig in his honor. The chicken-roasting out on the range was a merry occasion. In the fall we dragged out our textbooks, set our clocks to ring at 8 a. m. and got down to serious business. Now, upon departing, we thirteen leave to Farm School, our home for the past three years, this record book as our final endeavor. . . . i low «J 4 J ' ♦.ft ttu ' ' ■ ' ' • ' • ' • P§ junioRS ' 45 We came from all over, we 45ers; from as far west as Mis- souri and Indiana and from the very nearness of a corner saloon in South Philly. Each one an individual in his own right, yet each with the same purpose — to work and study diligently so that success may be realized. We numbered about fifty-five then, in the summer of ' 42, and all of us added our color to a unique pattern originating from several different states. But two years of sifting removed the untrue, and fitted each one of us in his right status as student and worker. Our class was left with thirty strong minded, realistic men, entering the last year of agricultural study. We are proud of our class, for we feel that we have contributed much to the social, athletic and political affairs of the school. Success has anointed all of our social activities and in sports we were undefeated in our Freshman year and as Juniors defeated the present Freshmen In football. Now we are Juniors, majoring in our chosen fields, bidding adieu to thirteen of our buddies with whom we have lived, fought, played and for whom we have developed within us a deep and sincere feeling of kinship. We will continue where your steps have terminated and we pledge that we will strive to pattern our stride after you, whom we esteem as fine stu- dents, good workers and true men. FR€SHm€n From far and near, we came for the purpose of acquiring an education in agriculture at the National Farm School. Most of us were totally unfamiliar with farm life and therefore found it quite difficult to acclimate ourselves readily to our new environ- ment. But, with determination and will instilled in us by the older fellows and instructors, we buckled down to meet the required standards. Lacking the knowledge that the upperciassmen possessed, we received the most unsought-for tasks. However, as time went by, our agricultural knowledge was broadened through class and field instruction so that before long we performed our work with more confidence. In sports, we defeated the Juniors in baseball to the extent of completing a triple play. Though lacking organization, our teams were very determined and that factor meant the differ- ence between victory and defeat. We soon realized the importance of class unity and so elected the class officers. Our class meetings were a bit over- boisterous, but we soon settled down to put on a successful barn dance. To the departing Seniors we wish the greatest success and hope to duplicate their fine record at Farm School. ' 46 ODZI- - V ctivitled STUDeni counciL The Council of the National Farm School was not very active this particular year in governing the student body. Early in the year, and after much debate and heated discussion, the Council decided to abolish Freshmen rules so as to enable a more democratic spirit to prevail. Our governing body assumed the responsibility of improving the appearance of the campus and subsequently excess grass was removed along the edges of all campus walks. Council offend- ers displayed their good intentions by washing the interior walls of Ulman hiall. Another noteworthy achievement of the law makers was the raffle to raise money for recreation room equipment. The Council, under the leadership of Seymour Freed, spon- sored the Red Cross blood donor drive and virtually the entire student body participated in the donation of life saving plasma. Together with the administration the Council revised the stu- dent hand book. We, the graduating Seniors, extend our best wishes to suc- ceeding representatives and sincerely hope that the Council will take a decided step forward and assume a more active pol- icy in Farm School government. r u GL6fln€R STAFF 1+ can well be said that in the past year the Gleaner has achieved its highest standard since its introduction into Farm School some forty years ago. Emerging from a four page tab- loid into a finer magazine form, the Gleaner took on new fea- tures which greatly improved the publication. These noteworthy achievements can be accredited to the striving efforts of the staff members of the class of 1944. Al- most half the class helped carry the Gleaner to the successful peak at which we now leave it. The staff did a superb job, with Tobi Goldoftas as Editor, Davey Goodman as Sports editor, Ben Kaslove as Exchange edi- tor, Joe Weis as Alumni editor, Martin Nabut as hlumor editor and Dick Kustin as staff assistant. In parting, we of the Senior class hope that the succeeding Gleaners will continue to be of the high literary quality achieved during our stay in school. Our interest will not come to a halh upon graduation, and we will look forward to receiving our regular copies of the publication of which we are so proud. ' S : :; |Mj| Spj  g Pl M VARSITY CLUB For a short while it seemed that Farm School ' s Varsity Club sank back into retirement until a few of its enterprising mem- bers decided to reorganize after the Football season. With the reorganization many men who had recently made their letters were admitted as members. With a determined spirit, new offi- cers were elected and the constitution revised so as to make admission to the Varsity Club the ambition of every Farm School athlete. The Varsity Club became quite active and going forward with its newly found momentum staged a dance which turned out to be very successful. The Varsity Clubroom has been painted and will soon undergo drastic repair. A plan for future activity has been formulated and Farm School can expect to see a great deal more of Intra-mural and inter-class sports. To insure success in this endeavor, the Var- sity Club expects the full cooperation of both students and administration. To those Seniors leaving us we are proud to say that it has been an honor and a pleasure to play and work with them. We wish them the best of luck. TH BflRD A great drawing card and attraction at all of our school functions and a moving spirit behind our athletic encounters has been our small but exceedingly fine Band. Many of us have gone to Assembly every Wednesday afternoon assured with the knowledge that every dull moment would be eradicated by the Band ' s fine interpretations of college and military music. Under the instruction of Lieutenant Frankel and the remark- able leadership of Louis Goldenberg the Band has received widespread praise from students, Faculty and Alumni. In previous years, the Band consisted of many more members, but this Band, one of the smallest in the school ' s history, can trace its ability to play good music to the cooperative spirit of both musicians and leader. Starting out with quite a few green men, students who had virtually never handled a musi- cal instrument before, this organization has risen to the point where the school cries out, We want the Band and really means it. The Senior class, and the four Senior Band members in par- ticular — Joe Weis, Tobi Goldoftas, Seymour Freed and hiarry Gransback — wish the Band undiminished and continued success. ttiletlcd FOOTBALL This past year the undefeated and untied Farm School Foot- ball Team had what could be laconically called a Victory sea- son. Playing such teams as Lakewood, West Nottingham, Tren- ton Catholic and Swarthmore V-12, the Farmers rolled up a score of 2 I I points to the opponents ' 19. The season was highlighted by the great spirit shown by both students and Alumni. Two lively pep rallies were held dur- ing the season and it was a toss-up as to which was the better. Led by Captain Sy Freed and backed by Seniors Tobi Soldoftas, Jack Lieber and Dick Raben, in addition to the fightingest Juniors and Mutts, the team won for itself the admiration of all who saw them in action. Coach Samuels was, as usual, the master of each and every situation. Dick Kustin and Jack Gurewitz were in there punch- ing as manager and trainer. Everyone, except our opponents, enjoyed the season immensely. Although four outstanding men are graduating from the team and school, there still remains a powerful nucleus to form another VICTORY TEAM. BflS€BflLL Strike three, you ' re out! was what the ump yelled when Dick Raben slung the old apple into the catcher ' s mitt. This cry was echoed again and again as Farm School rolled up a tremendous win list . By the time the end of the spring had rolled around and the team had turned in its togs, we had achieved a victorious, un- defeated season . The record was gained only by the get down to business and play hard attitude that every member of the team possessed. The fielding was a fine example of what really can be done by men who desire to win. The infield was awake and on its toes every minute of every game, for here also was expressed that fighting heart spirit. When Farm School came to bat, it was customary to see our opponent ' s outfield move back to the front walks for they soon realized that we had a hard hitting, ball-smashing nine. Marty Nabut, the only other Senior connected with the team, acted in the capacity of manager of this successful team and did his bit to make this past season one that will be long remembered. BflSH€TBflLL Striving to uphold the record set by the Baseball and Foot- ball teanns, our Farm School Five completed a difficult sea- son with fine success. Being true farmers and therefore undaunted by the onslaughts of the elements, the team prac- ticed and played in a somewhat frigid gym and experienced no loss in team play and spirit. The boys played the same fast, rough game that has become traditional at Farm School, putting to advantage all the drive that Coach Samuels had instilled in them. Dick Raben, who was a good courtman in his Freshman and Junior years, brought forth all his talents as Captain and most outstanding player of the year. Freedy, our rugged for- ward, put up the most hard-fought competition our gym has seen in many a season. Jack The Ball Gurewitz, third and last Senior on the team, spent most of his playing time scram- bling for the ball but did manage to use his set shot to good advantage when the opportunity presented itself. The underclassmen, who helped make the team the success it was, were Al Brunwasser,. Ralph Moritz, Nate Kanter, Ernie Elgart, Jack Goldberg and Herb Sherman. Dick Kustin, Farm School ' s perennial manager and the Coach ' s right hand man, did an exceptional job in keeping up the good spirits of the players as well as attending to his regular work. Of course Dick ' s right hand man was Sammy Reds Posner. Now at the close of the season, the Senior class and those particularly connected with the team wish Mr. Samuels and his future fives the best in undefeated seasons. .5 : WE THANK . . .
