The next week, enthroned in luxurious and speedy motor cars, we took our six-times deferred inspection trip to some nearby farms, and although we had a little snow and a little sun we all enjoyed the trip and benefited by it. In the last few weeks of our course ex-'ents have come and gone with a bewildering rush. As our lirst party was such a success, we gave another one which was even more brilliant, we attended the final round-up banquet, we heard 'Duffy speak at Commencement, we did this and we did that, all with that spirit and enthusiasm which has made the class of 1915 one that will long be remembered in the annals of the Short Course histories. And now it is all over. Our brief course is run. Some of us will return :mother year to acquire more and greater knowledge in other lines, some will go out to work for others and some to work for themselves, but upon us all, whate'er we do, and where'er we go, May Good Fortune Smile. l .

December 10 we attended in a body the Poultry Show at the Grand Central Palace in New York, where we saw many strange breeds of birds and much to interest us, including the souvenir booths. Some forgot the dignity of their calling, even so far as to be interested in the cat show. That night some of us came back to New Brunswick, and the rest, well-they didn't! When we were once more assembled and in working order we directed our energies toward our debutante party, which was held on December l8. After being entertained by Joe Gallagher, the Irish comedian, Herman Schmidt, the prestidigatator, .Professor Lewis's game, dancing and refreshments, every one unqualihedly pronounced it to have been the most brilliant social affair of the season. The next day at noon we broke up for the Christmas holidays and at two o'clock there were only three Poultry Students left in New Brunswick. December 28, some of us Cwe do not mention nanres for political reasonsj returned for Farmers' VVeek, and were more than repaid for our efforts by the interesting and educational program of speeches which it was our pleasure to hear. Among them were Dr. Sanborn of Massachusetts and Professor Kirk- patrick of Storrs Agricultural College, who spoke on subjects dear to our hearts. 'During this week we not only celebrated New Year's Eve in a proper and befitting manner, but we also attended the annual banquet of the R. C. P. A. Alumni Association, and profited much from the experiences of our predecessors, who are rapidly making their mark in the poultry world. During this week there was also a side-show attraction in the Annual Poultrygand Agricultural Exhibition, held under the auspices of the R. C. P. A. and the Middlesex County Agricultural Association. All of us entered birds, but unfortunately we could not all win prizes. The silver cup for the Students' judging Competition was won by George Dunn, who later filled it up and told us how he done it. E. A. Heckler was second, bl. Haddon third, R. C. Zimmerman fourth, and I. A. Morrison fifth., Among many' of the stu- dents' prize-winning birds were Joe Haddon's third prize l'iarred,Rock and Parson Vogel's champion duck.' January 4.the second term began, and we ploughed our way through mud, rain, snow, hail, wind, sun and clouds to the round of lectures and routine work. .This ,month also saw the start of the incubation and brooding work, under the leadership of Professor Brett, who always has an answer for every question.. . . , . . Q January l4, the old officers having done their work faithfully and well, we elected the following new officers for the R. C. P. A.: President, G. Dunn, Vice President, UT. H. Niebankg Secretary, A. S. Wliitneyg Treasurer, -T. D. Haddon, Librarian, H. Petermang Executive Committee, L. Schreiber, P. H. Maurer, ff. Gallagher. 60
