ALBERT ANDREW ACKER Al Valley Falls, N. Y. That proud exception to all laws. Albert is very proud, but he is so much fun we forget that part. He just hates to be call-ed a farmer, therefore we enjoy teasing him about it. - Classical Club, Boys' Hi-Y, Glee Club, Choir, District Chorus, Dramatic Society.

THE 1930 and that they kept to themselves, talked their own language, and had little chance of mingling with Americans and learning American ways and thoughts. The idea came to this Brazilian lad that it would pro- mote international fellowship if a club were started where students from other lands could meet for social and friendly associa- tion. He sought his professors and talked it over with them. They encouraged him in his idea, saying it was just the sort of thing the campus needed. Today, 15,000 foreign students are enjoying the fruits of that idea. The Cosmopolitan Club pro- vides an outlet for both social and intellec- tual activities among the foreign students. Socially, it provides its foreign members a chance to meet Americans on intimate footing, and intellectually, it is a meeting ground for the discussion of all questions that confront the world as a whole. This fraternity has led to the affairs known as international nights on the cam- pus in the spring. They are popular af- fairs and most entertaining. Guided by na- tive men and women of culture, one literally takes a trip around the world. You hear the music of China, Hawaii, the Philippines, and Latin America, and learn of the culture, traditions, and customs of people of distant lands. So, that student from Brazil who started the movement, although he is un- known, forgotten today, is really a peace hero, because he has caused international appreciation and understanding among American college men. Thus have the schools and colleges of today been improved from those of four de- cades ago. Learning has become more of a pleasure. The college graduate would almost as soon think of selling his children as of parting with his college life. On the gates of Harvard College appears a motto which may be taken as an expres- sion of all that is best in modern education: Enter to grow in wisdom, depart to serve better thy country and thy kind. -DORIS HARRISON Valedictory And now, Classmates, the time has come when we must depart from our beloved Alma Mater. The shining goal to which we have been looking forward throughout these four beautiful years is now within our grasp, and we are about to go forth to a new field of opportunities in which we shall try to honor our Alma Mater. We owe our sincere gratitude and deepest appreciation to our principal, who has so willingly aided us in all our tasks: to the faculty, by whose cooperation and advice we have been guided along the road to suc- cess, and to our parents, through whose sacrifices we have gained the priviledge of obtaining our high school education, and whose sympathy and encouragement have urged us on to attain this goal. This, our Commencement Day, is one we have long looked forward to, but it is also one of sorrow, for on this day we must all part, and each must go his own way through life. Classmates, we shall always remember the pleasant days we have spent here. Let us always strive to uphold the ideals of the Lansingburgh High School. Alma Mater, the class of 1930 bids you farewell. -DORIS HARRISON --lv-airs!!-43-iq.. 15
