Turner It is with a deep sense of pride that we dedicate tliis eaibook to Dr. George E. Turner. Dr. Turner is probably best known for his insistence on a job well done. His demand for student achievement is accompanied by constant striving to convey fundamental concepts to his students in the most meaningful wa possible, illustrating these concepts with examples of the newest practical techniques in the particular field of study. By a well-balanced ration of humor and pure theory. Dr. Turner always succeeds in making his lectures palatable to his classes. The talents of this man are not limited to the classroom. His abilities as an administrator are indicated b his tenure as Dean of Agriculture. Off the campus, he is active in the Doylestown Chamber of Commerce. Dr. Turner is admired bv students and facultv alike for his unfailing fairness. His virtues as an educator add inimeasurablv to the academic standing of our college.

Blackman I ' rofessnr ol Agronomy Agriculture Technical and scientific prof!;rcss has l)een so rapid during the past half century that many fields have felt its force. Agriculture in the United States has probably felt the force of progress more than any other single field. Lammont du Pont once said, What is funda- mental research today is applied research tomorrow. In modern agriculture it may well be said that today and tomorrow often meet. Agronomy Every farmer actively engaged in the production of field crops can be considered a practical, operating agronomist. Agronomy is that division of agriculture dealing with the study of environment, in regard to the basic and applied sciences in the skill of field crop production and soil management. The future welfare of the world ' s population is dependent upon an adequate food supply. Agronomy furnishes the farmer with the necessary information which enables him to produce not only efficiently and economically but permanently. The study of Agronomy prepares men to be practical agronomists and in addition offers a foundation for the many other careers in this field. Seated in the botany laboratory Ben Dillman uses a microsi-upe to examine the internal structure of grain specimens. Ben Dillman teenier) gives unileri lassmen Willis Thompson ilelt) and Paul Chechell a jew pointers on judging grain. Animal Husbandry Animal Husbandry deals basicall) with the breeding, feeding, and management of livestock. Although many graduates in this field are engaged in the practical phases of purebred and commercial beef cattle, swine, sheep, and horse production a great variety of allied fields are also open to the graduates of this major. These allied fields may be government work in research, extension services, marketing, or inspection: in the meat packing or commercial feed industries: or in the profession of teach ing. Whatever the graduate chooses for his life ' s work he is well prepared. He receives his theoretical background from courses in the basic sciences and applied animal sciences, while he gains practical experience from actual work with farm animals.

Twentieth Century Agricultun Arthur Brown Associate Professor of Dairy Husbandry Dairy Husbandry A college graduate in the field of Dairy Hus- bandry may enter many fields of endeavor related to this science. Aside from the fields of commer- cial dairy farming, dairy farm management, breed- ing purebred dairy cattle, and dairy supervision he may enter the professions of teaching, adminis- tration, research, and sales. The Dairy Husbandry majors at N.A.C. are instructed in the latest com- mercial practices, as well as the techniques and theories lying behind them. Practical work is com- plemented by technical courses and courses in the varied sciences. It is this varied program that enables graduates in this field to meet the keen competition found in the dairy industry today.

Demands the Best Techniques Food Industry The Food Industry is devoted to training its students in the practical and technical aspects of food processing and preservation. The men may either major in Dairy Processing or General Foods. Besides courses dealing with specific foods there are also manv subjects applicable to the general realm of chemistry and microbiology which have been found to be of great value. The methods of study are such that first the physical and chemical aspects of a particular food are discussed thor- oughly, and only then are processing procedures taught. Stress is placed on laboratory work which demonstrates the problems in industry on a small scale, and offers corrective procedures. With such rapid advance and changes in industrial technology and equipment, frequ ent field trips to modern food factories have been found to be very helpful. (;e(,rge E.

Ornamental Horticulture The OrnaiiuMilal Hditiculture field offers a vast horizon to its majors. Graduates are capable of ohtaiiiiiif; siieh positions as greenhouse and nursery managers, landscape nurserymen, and landscape architects: besides positions in the flora divisions of the field. In addition to the preceding oppor- tunities one can also gain a good knowledge of the subjects of cytology, morphology, pathology, physi- ology, and taxonomy. On our twenty-seven acres of campus the principles of this field may be amply seen and practiced. We become capable of observ- ing the processes .going on within the flora before us each day. and the correlation between the plant sciences and landscaping is very close. In order to landscape properly one must have a wide knowledge of plant material — their characteristics of growth. Our training enables us to work for graduate de- grees or to begin our own business.

Jacoby Associate Professor of Poultry Husbandry Poultry Husbandry Poultry Husbandry is a science of huge dimen- sions. A major in this field must study not only different fowls, breeds and varieties in a given fowl, eggs and egg production, but. must also be well versed in the basic sciences. A graduate may engage in research or management work related to egg and poultry production in regard to quality production and the economics of production. Prac- tical work and numerous field trips to modern poultry processing plants in conjunction with class- room and laboratory work are essentials necessary to gain a full understanding of this field.

ADAMS Liberal Arts No one should sjiecialize to the point where he knows nothing other than his own field. Over- specialization is one of the gerat dangers facing students and educators today. A well rounded individual must have some knowledge of a variety of subjects. These subjects are classified as the Liberal Arts and Humanities. Courses falling into this classification are designed to enlarge the hori- zons of a student and adjust his perspective as well as train him in free thinking. Among the Liberal Arts and Humanities offered at N.A.C. are English, economics, political science, logic, mathematics, art. music, philosophy, psychology, and foreign affairs. It is through these studies that our personalities are molded; to shape the adult we become. I ' ricr Click. J I. .Associate Pro lessor ol Poliliral Srienn- Elmer S.

UMANA Calle 76 No. 4-76 Bogota, Colombia Animal Husbandry Known to all of us on campus as South America ' s answer to the student prince, Juan ranks as one of the best liked students at N.A.C. Although he gives the impression of an easy going, never worrying fellow, Juan is actually a top-notch student bent on knowing (he answers to any problems that may arise in agriculture. His love for sports prompted him to organize the soccer team, on which he excelled as a forward. As Juan has gained the respect and friend- ship of us all by his keen sense of humor and a facility for getting along in a strange country, so will he accomplish his goal through an unending will to defeat the problems at hand by work and applied knowledge. A well fed body is a fortress ALBERTO URIBE Carrera 42 No. 49-68 Medellin, Colombia Animal Husbandry One of the best liked students on campus (where he is better known as Uribity ) is the perfect de- scription for Alberto. He has been an active member of the Animal Husbandry Club for the past four years; and while participating in Art many of his works were displayed in the annual A-Day Art ex- hibition. Alberto also played on the soccer team as a center. Alberto ' s greatest interests beyond the scho- lastic field are flying airplanes and motorcycle rac- ing. In the past he was often seen coming through the main gates on a cold morning, calmly sitting on his little red motorcycle. His ambition is to manage Uribe Enterprises in South America, and to do this, he will take back to his country many of the new and modern techniques he has learned at N.A.C. LEROY E. VARNER. JR. R.

Only after there ' s no more haggle over food ARTHUR WEINSTEIN 186 Evergreen Drive Westbury, New York Animal Husbandry There are few people in whose constitution fun- loving and seriousness are so well combined. Art, who is always regarded as one of the boys, has shown his serious side often. He has been an active member in the Animal Husbandry Club, Dairy Club, and has been the business manager of the GLEANER. Art ' s major is Animal Husbandry and his interest in. and love for animals is unbounding. His efforts to learn as much of the practical side of his chosen field as possible, has led him to travel over a great deal of the country. His hard work, perseverance, and business instinct will undoubtedly lead him to success in the future, as it has done here at N.A.C. HENRY E. WIRTH 126 Callender Street Dorchester, Massachusetts Food Industry Heinz, as he is known to his fellow classmen, joined our ranks in the spring semester of 1953. A vital contribution made bv him to the class was giving it that continental touch. He was an active member of the Food Industry Club. Glee Club, and Contemporary Club during his four year stay at N.A.C. An avid fan of the Chrysler products and a humorist at heart best describes his everyday char- acter. In his senior year Heinz tied a major colle- giate (N.A.C.) record by carrying an academic load of twenty-six credits. Upon graduation Heinz hopes to contribute to the progress of his chosen field by employing the latest technical methods he has learned at N.A.C. Caiu nations live peaceful and think of worldly ood EDWIN L. WORSTALL, JR. Limekiln Road Doylestown, Pennsylvania Poultry Husbandry As a member of the N.A.C. Poultry Club, Ned has aided the club as well as the College immensely. His talents in the field of poultry science earned him a top position on the poultry judging team. Ned was also a member of the Glee Club, and football team; and was one of the best all-around guards the Col- lege ever had. Ned was formerly a student at the Drexel Institute of Technology in Philadelpia, but found agriculture more to his liking. Ned ' s quick wit and sincere personality, combined with his driv- ing ambition, will certainly carry him far in his life ' s work, regardless of what it may be. GLEN G. WRIGLEY R. D. No. 1 Perkasie. Pennsylvania Animal Husbandry The Rig. hails from the suhurbs of Perkasie Pennsylvania. He is an exceptionally likeable fellow and has clone much for the class in the way of sport; and education. His sports-mindedness led him to par ticipate in varsity football as well as intramural has ketball and baseball. Rig is seen at just about every social function, both on and off campus. He was an outstanding member of the Dairy Club and spent four years in the Glee Club. Rig is also noted for the familiar expression are you kiddin ' me? A combination of the many facets that go to make up his personality are seldom found in one person. We feel sure that this combination will prove unbeatable.

Class of 1956. Address? Hometown, U.S.A. The man looked stern and happy as the horde of young, inquisitive men signed the register. This was the beginning of four fabulous and memorable years in the annals of the National Agricultural College. The class of ' 56 assembled on campus that September day in 1952 — a group of noisy young men; some shy, some forward, all secretly study- ing the expressions and actions of the others in an effort to gain their bearing in this new world. Those early days were hectic — making friends, meeting roommates, and for some getting over that lonesome feeling. During the first week meeting the faculty, taking tours of the campus, and being subjected to tests I Oh, those tests!) headed the orientation agenda. By the end of test week every- one was thoroughly confused and ready to run home — which was exactlv what they did! However Monday morning dawned and everyone had come back for more. By this time, the upper- classmen had returned to the campus and the stage was set for classes to begin. But then there were more faces to study, especially the class of ' 55. We had learned, via the grape vine, the terrors the sophomores had planned for that extra-curricu- lar activity known as freshman hazing. We soon learned that we were to be blessed with another duty, namely, waiting on tables. What a sloppy mess that turned out to be! From the ranks we chose Harry Weber as our first leader, and not too long after his inaugura- tion he presented us with the rules of hazing with which we immediately complied — signs, dinks, wearing ties to meals, and using that famous pas- sageway to the east, for which Columbus was once searching — ginko lane. As our minds filled with the fear of what was in store for us on that night we were always relieved and inspired by the sounds that came from the corner room, Let ' s organize! But the night finally came, cold and dark, and we were led like lambs to the slaughter. The cows were awake, the pile was high, and the pool was deep and slimy. Yes, our punishment for being freshmen was to clean the dairy by hand. Those ornery cows just would not hit the shovels we held for them! Then, one by one. the wise men were called to the summit to answer for their crimes; what a mess! The organizer said a mouthful! and he paid for it by swallowing a mouth full. Two gladiators per- formed for the crowd, trying desperately to sink each others ship. When the first light of day appeared in the east the dairy was spic and span and weary freshmen plodded back to the dorm. The encounter at the dairy humbled our pride until our day for revenge came. Eyeing our opponents fiercely from our side of the pond we stood taut and ready, manning our end of the rope. Having been briefed in this art previous to the big pull by that wise old pugilist, we were confident that victory was within our grasp. What a rewarding sight those sophomores were as they dripped back to the dorm, and how wonderful it felt to no longer squash the ginkos under our footsteps. Time passed, and exams were upon us. Most of us weathered the storm and sailed on to the calmer water of the second semester. With one semester down and seven to go we felt like veterans and took to our tasks of murdering chickens and giving haircuts to peach trees. In Spring a young man ' s fancies turn from thoughts of school — a party was in the air. This shindig turned out to be a tremendous social suc- cess but a dismal administrative failure. At this time we received the delightful news that we would spend our summer at N.A.C. Groans and gripes filled the air but after we helped produce a great A-Day show (in which the class took many prizes), completed our exams, and watched the seniors grad- uate, we resigned ourselves to the task of learning practical agriculture. Fun was had by all that summer. Thinned peaches found their mark on another Peaches. Early in the morning, the chickens were fed by tired poultrymen. Horse stories flew thick and thin; apprentice blacksmiths and construction crews built equipment and tools of tomorrow; and breakage fees ran high ! Near the end of the sum- mer we assumed a more serious attitude and chose our majors. At long last our summer vacation began and we were mighty glad to depart for home. But we had just gotten settled at home when Sep- tember rolled around again. No, the place hadn ' t changed much but the situation was the opposite of last year ' s. We were sophomores now and our minds were busy dreaming up tortures which we could apply to the freshmen. After we had registered as sophomores, we realized that a few of our members hadn ' t returned. But our spirit was still there. We surveyed the incoming class of freshmen and found that they greatly outnumbered us, so we had to show our strength by enforcing stricter regulations; such as exact dimensions of signs and the wearing of dinks at all times. When the night came for giving the freshmen a rough workout, a couple of the boys decided to give spice to the occasion by setting off fire crackers. The result of this display was not beneficial to our class. Acceptance of the freshman challenge found us assembled at the pond, dressed in white shirts, ready to uphold our previous record. The twenty strong men that faced us looked mighty but were obviously green in the art of rope pulling. After an exhausting stalemate, our superior skill and spirit brought them crashing through the mud to- ward our stronghold. Our class holds the distinction of being the first in the history of the college to win both years. Also, our victory extended freshman hazing for another two weeks. Everyone will remember the extravagant Snow- ball Dance at which a beautiful campus queen was elected. No one can forget the hard work and spirit of cooperation that went into making this dance a huge success. At the end of the summer of ' 54 we were at the stage of life where we were mature men who had gone through many battles and could face the everyday problems of the next two years. We were more serious in our thinking, and in some ways drifting away from the underclassmen, to think of the future years ahead of us. ' This year was rela- tively a sober one compared to the previous years. One of the many interests taken up by our class was the chess tournament which took place in Elson Hall. During this period we also arganized De- Sousa ' s Boys and rapidly they gained a reputation throughout the school. Ahoul the middle of ihal c;ir we ordered our elass rings, wliieli will always remind lis of the good times we had at N.A.C. When the haskethall season came around there was a little flare-up created by the misunderstanding of our student activities card which resulted in a pi-tition. This pelition exploded, which left eighty students skating on thin ice. The Student Council managed to freeze the whole mat- ter. When the peaches were in full bloom, the sen- iors were bid fare .veil 1) their succe-ssors. Who got their feet wet that night? The following week was consumed by final exams and then finallv off to the fields of work for the summer. During this time everyone ' s mind was on the final year and gradua- tion, which had been our optimistic goal. Anxiously awaiting our return to N.A.C. for our big, final year we were disappointed by two won- derful letters which told us our vacation had been extended. When we finally did return we were fascinated by the beautiful new dorm which we saw awaiting us. But. brother, when we got inside 1 We shoveled our way through sawdust, climbed over two by fours, and those poor boys who slept late were rudely awakened every morning to the tune of hammers and saws. We suffered through it all and it was certainly worth it. We graduated from hammocks to real beds. The class finally got around to taking over the campus. Club presidents started club activities in motion, yearbook work got under way. and the Student Council began the tough job of executing the campus law. DeSousa ' s Boys rolled through the intranmral football league tieing the Cruds for first place and topping the league by the toss of a coin. Darts and TV became the newest fads for the boys and everyone had a great time at the third all-college weekend. The Sweetheart Dance was the climax of the social endeavors of the seniors and a good time was had by all. As our history goes to press the Class of ' 56 is looking forward to a successful Prom and a com- plete roster at Graduation exercises. When the Class of ' 56 steps out into the world we will know that with the background we possess we are certain to achieve success in every challenge we may meet. Hats off to the underclassmen; for without their constant push, keeping us on our toes, we would have surely fallen by the wayside.

In September forty candidates turned out for football, hopeful of another successful campaign. The squad had fourteen lettermen returning, but suffered a severe setback with the loss of Co- Captain Wilber Miller, who had to drop out of school for personal reasons. The first gaine was played at Kutztown State Teachers College in a pouring rain. The Teachers got three quick TD ' s in the first hal f. In the second half the Aggies made a comeback which fell short as they lost 21 to 13. The next week the team traveled to Mont- clair State Teachers College, only to lose another close one 7 to 6 in another rainstorm. Oti the road for the third week the Aggies got their first win at the expense of Brooklyn College, which dropped football from its athletic activities as they were handed their twenty-ninth straight loss. Finally at home the team played its fourth straight game in the rain, this time against Susquehanna University. The homecoming crowd was treated to a 32 to victory on three long TD runs by Ron Stainmel. Back on the road again the Aggies ab- sorbed their third defeat at the hands of Millers- ville State Teachers College, 21 to 7. The Aggies picked up their third win with a 20 to victory over Wilson College on Alumni Field. With the squad really hitting its stride thev rolled over Gallaudet College by another 20 to score. Co- Captain Willis Thompson led the way to victory in the final game over Long Island Aggies. 33 to 0. This game featured the senior backfield of five seniors: Fenyves, Bonowski.

A visitor at the college would find students patiently working with animals they are going to show on A-I)ay: other students would be found working on their designs for a garden retreat or naturalistic scene, and as the first Sat- urday in May draws closer you would find the clubs making their last minute changes and prep- arations for A-I)av. Then comes the climax every- one has worked for — A-Day is here. Friends, rela- tives, and visitors from the surrounding states, along with the judges come here to make their critical inspection and comparison of each stu- dent ' s exhibit. The Grand Champion awards are given by the judges to those students who have excelled in their particular field. Although every student does not receive an award he feels that none of his efforts were wasted, because he has gained many things by working with this big team of men who in the future will be the core of agri- culture in the Lhiited States.

When we entered these gates ive knew that we knew. And perhaps we knew a lot. But since we ' ve been here, new horizons appeared. And what we knew wasn ' t half as great as we thought. In our four years of college We ' ve tasted, of the Tree of Knowledge, And were driven out of the Eden of our Ignorance To the world of cold hard fact. And now as we leave we must learn how to give. And use our knowledge to act. And use each fact as a tool. And use each tool the best we can To do the job we ' ve chosen . . . To Feed Man. Compliment ' s Of MR. AND MRS.
