Gllflll-llllib lll?nANlD One of the most popular institutions :it lfarrn Sclirrul has always been the student band. ln previous years, the student band had a larger :refre- gation of members than our present student body. Despite this fact. the band has created as much spirit in the student body as any other band in Farm School history. Assemblies just wouldn't be assemblies if the band did not render its interpretations of favorite marches. Our small band, under the direction of Gil Katz. was alwavs a source of entertainment at our school dances. graduations. and other social functions. liven though the fellows may have misread a note or two and sounded a little out of tune. they still received the applause and cheers of the entire student body. Their fellow students realized that what these bovs lacked in musical abilities. they more than made up for in their perseverance and spirit. The band spent many long hours each week rehearsing under the super- vision of hir. Earl Frick. Director of Klusic at the Dovlestown High School. .APKION FARM i t'i4'OOI A BAND 4' 4'-'Uncut vt ii

61lflIfllllE5 fll?fllf9lIBfMNllllE5lIR The Gleaner staff can look back upon the past jvear's accomplishments with a feeling of satisfaction for a job vvell done. The very fact that the Gleaner was published is a tribute to the perseverance and hard Work of Gil Katz, Editor-in-Chief. The staff did its best to maintain theshigh standards set by previous Gleaners. Considering the facts that there Were only twenty-six students in the school and that the average age was far below normal We feel that the Gleaner has maintained these standards. The object of the staff was to publish a magazine that was both enter- taining and educational. VVith a combination of agricultural articles, short stories and news of events taking place at the school. we tried to make the Gleaner enjoyable reading. One department to which we would like to see more attention given in the future is Letters to the Editor. for just as intra- mural athletics gives each student a chance to participate in sports, so does this department give each student a chance to voice his opinions in the Gleaner. VVe want to give special thanks to Nlr. Klein, our faculty adviser, for his aid in getting articles written. The editorial staff of the Gleaner wishes to express its deepest appreciation to Rlr. J. Allen Gardy who printed the Gleaners. He gave up much of his time to help us edit and set up the Gleaners.

VARSITY Glilfgllfllllin A potential leader of all extra-curricular organizations at the National Farm School is the Varsity Club. It is composed exclusively of students who have been awarded the Varsity 'Tv in one of the three major sports. With the advent of the War the membership of the club declined from a total of forty to five. Gone were its influences over athletic programs, its various tournaments, dances, and other morale building activities. Yes, rather than loss of interest, lack of members forced the club to curtail many of its activities. The rebuilding program is a slow and tedious one. The first major step in resuming its activities was the formation of a softball league. The mem- bers ofthe student body were divided into four teams and a regular schedule was drawn up. This program proved highly successful from the standpoint of spirit, interest and conditioning. Varsity club members have ofliciated at all intra-mural activities. The club has planned several ping-pong and pocket billiard tournaments to be held in the near future. These tournaments will become an annual feature of the club.
