And the Lord God, formed man of the dust of the X ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. In our troubled days it is heartening to recall a human who walked among us and with his creator. His humble and difficult youthhood, the dedication of i his life to his fellow humans. The faith of his fathers guided his gentle ways, , the goal was crystal clear, the obstacles numerous. Youth and his problems were dear to him and he con- secrated his physical and mental energies, his meager material wealth to their well being. His breath of life, gave sustenance to a hall of learning in a profession he considered the purest, noblest, most blessed calling of all. That is the heritage of Farm School and the National Agricul- tural College, the soul of Dr. Joseph Krauskopf. ' Dedicated to When it came time for the Class to decide to whom this Book should be Dedicated, no problem arose. One Name was thought of above all others. The Name was that of a philan- thropist, a Man who must surely love his Fellow Men. Choosing Edwin B. Elson to receive this Honor was an ex- cellent choice. The selection of his Name was the only way, and the best way, to show Our heartfelt appreciation for the wonderful service he rendered the Student Body of this great College. There is an old phrase used by economists. Psychic In- come is the phrase, and Psychic Income is what Edwin B. Elson gave. For his donation of Elson Hall Dormitory adds greatly to the living comfort of the Student Body. This New and Modern structure will always be remembered by those of us who first lived there as a place of Comfort and Convenience. And so again, we can only say Thank You. Edwin B. Elson Friend - Philanthropist - Trustee JAMES WORK President of N. A. C. Jh Appreciation TTie National Agricultural College is the natural outgrowth of its parent institution, the National Farm School. And the School was created by Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf. Joseph Krauskopf. the son of a lumber dealer, was born in Germany in 1858, on the twenty-first of January. He came to this country at the age of fourteen, and settled in Massachusetts. He soon developed the desire to be a Rabbi, and after receiving his B. A. from the University of Cincinnati in 1883, he became a stu- dent in the first graduating class of the Hebrew Union College. During his lifetime Dr. Krauskopf was a pioneer and worker in many religious and civic movements. The school was said to be in part both of these. Dr. Krauskopf, through his personality, oratory, and travels, gained many friends and supporters for the school. This remained, during his life, his most important single contribution to the growth and welfare of the school. Peter Click, Jr the fouMtainhead m Assistant Dean James Sheaffer (standing).

Junior Class Officers LI Al Rosner M2 Arthur Foley R3 Steve Ferdo 4 Lee Berger Sam Boltax juiioR cim Throughout the three years that the Junior Class has been on Campus, t has been outstanding in its campus activities. The class contribution of college lead- ers is one of its proudest remembrances. The class had its lighter side, too. The Square Dance, one of the most successful ever put on, was the class ' s crowning social achievement. Hard cider, hayrides, decorations, and good music all combined to make this affair the big success of the season. The class likes to remember that its freshman beer party was distinguished by the fact that no members were blinded, and that they were all able to navigate back to the dorm. The class finished the year with the Junior-Senior Prom, a beautiful and digni- fied affair. Music and romantic surround- ings made that evening the perfect ' to a grand year.

They are known for their ability to put on excellent dances, as witnessed by the Christmas Dance. They are very active in intramural spwrts as well as in the varsity sports. Their courage was challenged on the night that they took a freshman class, three times their size, out for the traditional walk, and they managed to keep this per- fectly under control at all times. However, this ' accomplishment ' was overshadowed by the fact that the freshmen were able to pull the sophs through the horse pond, in the an- nual tug-of-war, to end the hazing.

The freshmen also had a great many singers who contributed their fine voices to the College Glee Club. The traditional Tug-Of-War between the sophs and frosh was won by the lowerclassmen, thus ending hazing. A- Day was one of the best that the College has ever seen, and comprised of the activities of many of the freshmen. Many of the men were prize winners in competition with the upperclassmen.

Mike Aiello was chosen Editor, Pete Krusch Managing Editor, and Ed Van- sant Business Manager. These three men joined the nucleus of the staff which through much effort and hard work produced this year ' s Cornucopia. The senior yearbook is the accumula- tion of the events which have occurred during our four years here at the college. In years to come our yearbook will be something to look at and remember the happy days spent at college. The Senior Class extends its thanks to the editor, staff, and everyone connected with the yearbook. (MR) H. Tanin, E. Vansant, F. Haentze, (Treas.) M. Hershman, (Pres.) L. Shelby, (Vice Pres.) M.

Student Council In the past few years the Student Council has become increasingly important on the campus, but this year under the able leadership of Pres- ident Lew Sacharnoski the council has come into its own. This year practically all extra- curricular activities have been sponsored or planned by the council. Among the many activi- ties handled were the dances, movies, club meetings, the student canteen, the student lounge, and assembly programs. These are but a few of the more important functions. It is the job of a good council to form a link between the adminis- tration and student body, and this year we have realized a strong sense of cooperation between these two components of our college. Probably one of the more important func- tions of the council is the Student Court. TTie Student Court is an organ of the Student Council made up of members chosen by the Student Body to maintain the high quality of citizenship on the college campus. The Student Court with M. Aiello, judge; E. Vansant, prosecutor; and the jury made up of other council members. Qleancr The GLEANER is the official publication of the student body of the National Agricultural College. This year the GLEANER has combined with the Alumni Gleanings to increase its cir- culation and size of issue. Through the fine cooperation of the Business Administration and College Administration, the GLEANER has been able to make great strides towards its goal of being one of the finest Agri- cultural College magazines in the country. Under the leadership of its Editor-in-Chief, Joseph L. Chernicoff, and Managing Editor, H. Gessner Nash, the members of the GLEANER staff have been able to learn much about agri- cultural journalism and magazine organization in the GLEANER(Ag Journalism 1 Credit) Class. Below - Editors, H.

Horticulture Club With the enrollment of a large freshman class this past semester, t he Horticultural Society has considerably increased its active membership over past years. Many interesting programs have been planned to make this year in the Horticultural Society beneficial educationally, as well as a source of entertainment for active members. Our first speaker was Miss Tintleman, rep- resentative of W. A. Burpee Seed Company. Miss Tintleman gave a very interestingly illus- trated talk on Bu ' -pee ' s seed production tech- nique, and she also showed us many beautiful color slides of flower arrangements made with Burpee name variety seeds. The second speaker was a veterinarian. Dr. Louis Leiboritz of the New Britain Animal Hospital. The Doctor spoke to us about plants toxic to animals. His talk was extremely in- formative to those of us who have animals of our own. Movies were also shown, one of special in- terest to Horticulture majors, dealing with growing and marketing horticultural products, and the other film of tropical plants of the Bahamas used by our southern neighbors. In the last semester our main efforts will be to produce another fine Horticulture Show in our Gym for A- Day. With our coming field trips to the Phila- delphia Flower Show in March and a trip to Bowman ' s Hill Wildflower Preserve, this year is sure to come to a successful close with a good time had by all.

This year again, the Dairy Club succeeded to secure itself the same high standing of a prominent and efficient Club, as it has been the tradition throughout the recent years. The Club ' s aim is to supply scientific and practical information with the help of guest- speakers, as well as fieldtrips and movies, in the field of Dairy Production and its allied fields. The highlight of this year ' s activities was a visit to the U. S. D. A. research projects, lec- tures about the breeding program and the methods employed in agricultural research. Another event was the life-size demonstration of a parlor-milking system, which was attended by a great number of dairy farmers in this locality. The Club ' s greatest event though is, and always has been, A Day, originally initiated by the Dairy Club, on which the members sum up their yearly activities by the showing of dairy cattle and other exhibits. Aside from the required studies, the college student has many extra curricular activities which keep him busy. Some of these activities may be useful and some of them may be pri- marily for pleasure. One activity that a student of an agricultural college can take part in is the joining of a club dealing with his chosen field or profession. The Poultry Science Club gives an oppor- tunity for its members to come into contact with many of the problems of the poultry in- dustry. Also there is a chance to work on projects that vary in scope from raising broilers to sanitation and disease problems affecting man and bird. Our club this year has purchased duck eggs which we will incubate, and then the ducklings will be reared. Marketing of the ducks will also be an educational activity. Club members are also afforded the oppor- tunity to hear speakers, see movies of interest dealing with the industry, and visit places of interest such as research stations, and mar- keting outlets.

A.C. Animal Husbandry Club. The response by the school was immediate, and the club has held a position of high mem- bership since. The purpose of the club is manifold, of which the first might be, a stimulation of interest in the field of animal science. Another important goal is to augment the formal educa- tion of the student. This is carried out by having speakers, movies, demonstrations, projects, field trips and general discussions related to both the technical and practical phases of agri- culture. The two outstanding events of the year are the Pennsylvania Farm Show at Harrisburg, and A Day at the college. At the farm show club members exhibit animals in state-wide competition. A Day is the culmination of the year when club members proudly show the animals which they have fitted up personally. Varsity Club (B.R.) L. Shelby, E. Fleming, E. Nieznay, E. Jardel, D.

This club is one of the most important as well as busiest on campus. Club members handle refreshment stands at all sports and other special events including A- Day. The Varsity Club stand on A-Day is famous for its barbecued chicken. The first dance of the year is sponsored and conducted by the club. Probably the most important function of the club is the administration of all intramural sports at the college. To signify membership in the club, fresh- man members may receive beer mugs and special varsity club jackets.

The Photography Club is comparatively new on our campus. Started three or four years ago it has since grown to an active and very im- portant club on the campus. The club welcomes new members, especially freshmen. The new members are taught all phases and methods of photography by old club members. This year under the leadership of President Bert Litoff, the club has set up a dark room in the basement of the faculty house. Slowly but surely they have been gathering equipment, until they have gotten a fine dark room set up. Each year the club runs a photo contest for A Day with ribbons and cash prizes being given to individual winners. The club ' s advisor, Mr. Segal, has given invaluable advice as well as equipment to the club. We of the yearbook staff wish to thank the members and advisor of the Photography Club for the assistance which they have given us. Photography Club Club members shown in their darkroom.

Started a few years ago several students organized an informal singing group. This year the club has expanded to a mem- bership of between 40-50 men. Each week these men on their own time meet in the evening, under the leadership of Mr. Harry Purcel, to sing together. During the school year the club gives con- certs in the Bucks County and Philadelphia area. The highlight of the year is at Christmas time, when our Glee Club combines with the girls ' Glee Club from the Ambler School of Horticulture to present the annual Holiday Festival. D r pr .

A-Day has grown from a good little idea of the Dairy Society in 1949 to the most im- portant student function of the year. The administration of this affair is ably carried on by the A-Day Committee, which an- nually picks up the pieces in September, that put together, form the working gears of A-Day. The members of the committee are chosen from every class, club and organization on the campus plus any additional volunteers. Under the able leadership of Ott Collings the committee is in charge of planning all events, entertainment, refreshments and ad- vertising concerning A-Day. Everyone connected with the college can be proud of the fine job done by this committee. XCUlT-i i yii r i 4 • 1 .. •■.

A.C. ' s athletes begin their laps around the gym. Yes, with the change in weather comes the beginning of the basketball season, the beginning of a new season for the Aggies ' rooters. This year ' s squad, with the return of many lettermen, and the prospects of a few prom- ising freshmen, set out, determined to have a winning season. However, this was not to be, as our opponents had other plans in store for us. Rounding out the old pros of Cal Kidder, Ed Vansant, and Hal Tannin, was reserve Ed Flem- ing, a senior who was part of last year ' s bench strength. Our bench, made up mostly of fresh- men, should be of value in future years. Re- member the names of Stammel, Chubb, and In- dek. Cal Kidder returned to his spot of play- making guard after sitting out most of last season with a broken ankle. Cal surprised no one with his running, shooting, and ability to keep the ball going around until an opening was found. Hal Tannin did his usual job along with Kid- der, occasionally dropping in some long sets. Fleming, with his high-footed push shot, made himself a real favorite with quick field goals when the chips were down. Ed Vansant, who kept the coaches guessing for years, was his usual easy going self. Al- ways dependable off the backboards, Ed had a little trouble opening the chords on the basket. An inspiring figure on the court at all times was Don Peters. Unforgettable to the local crowd as well as all those before whom he played is Jim Chiz Lipari. Team leader in every department, Jim was, without a doubt, the most colorful player the Aggies could boast in the past three seasons. As all good things, Chiz will be missed more when the next season opens. N. A. C. Vs. Bloomfield. Number 11, Jim Lipari, jumping with one of Bloomfield Five.

TTie boys spent their time getting loosened up and learning the fun- damental defensive plays. On occasion, a pitcher would become a little wild and ' bean ' somebody in the close quarters, but the experience was valuable. The pitching squad was filled out by two seniors and two freshmen. Seniors Doc Cromwell and Lew Shelby carried the load of the pitching chores while the squad found able replacements in Bronk Sanders and Eddie Pouttu. The other half of the batteries were filled by two experienced backstops - Charlie Lorenz and Harry Luigi Conover. John Guisti was the only other senior on the squad, holding down second base and occasionally covering right field. Although the team ' s record wasn ' t too impressive, the boys played hard and enjoyed the game. Many instances shall never be forgotten.
