i edar Lee is a quiet sort of a fellow, thoughtful and unassuming. He is gay and facetious; he is pensive and irritable, he is sharp-witted and he is dull. He can be arbitrarious and he can be obstinate. He is diplomatic, yet tactless, at times. In short he is prob- ably the most unpredictable senior among us. There is one ideal which he reveres — Might is Right. Perhaps the Sophists have made too great an impression upon the strongman of the class. For the first two years at Farm School Lee was busy manipulating his muscles, and playing the veritable wolf among the fair sex. But with the seriousness of the senior year, Cedar dropped his weights and took to the pen. The first Gleaner issue for the 1945 year is indeed indebted to him for the most part of the literary work. By consolidating his business abilities, nerviness, and stubbornness, the Gleaner was reimbursed by several new and unexpected ads. The student band and Council is another of Lee ' s achievements. One of his favorite past-times is the study of Greek Philosophy and the development of his already large vocabulary. His working knowledge of the art of Ju-Jitsu is renowned. Here is truely the example where brains and body development are being intensified with equal stress. Thesaurus under one arm, a list of botanical nomenclature tucked in his back pocket, an un-abridged dictionary, two pencils and a razor-sharp knife added to his personal attire — he can be seen working diligently cutting flowers in one of our greenhouses. Lee is a very prudent fellow, haying his entire educational life planned to the finest detail. Forming a coalition with Solomon, together they intend to matriculate at Ohio State University. Our good luck to you Lee, and we are certain that not only will you remain in agriculture, but you will be a credit to any ramification of so great and divisible a profession. 9£

-.em The train jerked to a stop and out onto the cinder platform stepped the lad from the Middle West. When the rest of the class had met him, they decided that he was such a unique thing that he should be the first class president and sit where they could all study him without any over-bearing interest. After the first experience he never became president again! Just as everyone was getting used to the new way of life, Baseball season opened and this lad could be seen throwing himself into a sore arm while Coach Samuels called the curses of heaven down upon his curly head for not throwing a straight ball. The Gleaner also captivated his interest, and soon thereafter the magazine was peppered with his unmistakable style. Ike served as Freshman and Junior football manager, watching his team score two successive undefeated seasons. When football again opened in his Senior year with all its gory glory, Zeke was made. Co-captain of the fourteen man team. And once again the fighting hearts finished the season with an unbeaten score. He and his colleague did a very fine job in the poultry department where they spent their last year at school. It was hard work and the department saw many dishearten- ing accidents befall them. When the most beautiful Spring of the three years brought Baseball to the limelight, it found Zeke behind the plate for the first time. This change of positions pleased the Gods and no longer did the wrath of heaven befall his head. When the draft board asked him if he would kindly come to a little shin-dig in Allen- town, Penna., at his earliest convenience, Zeke agreed. They turned, him down, however, because of schizophrenia. He spent most of his jolly hours impersonating everyone in school, writing dizzy songs and plays, and crazy poems. He never knew whether he was coming or going, so they turned hi personality charge. Ike became Senior and a bit of responsibility and sophistication entered his pi ality. He no longer threw erasers in classrooms or played with blocks and did his classmates, but he turned his attention to formulae, embryology and the racing forms. Thus we leave Zeke, Ike, Danenberg to follow success, to scratch around contentedly in the soft wa
