n ONTARIO AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE NINETEEN TWENTY SEVEN' o ' NI c ' tural knowledge via the Intermediate Year route and have made a valuable addition to the following year. In the Junior year the ranks were greatly depleted. The Associate class was gone and for other reasons a number of the Degree men failed to return. The reduction in number was, how- ever, somewhat overcome by the addition of the Intermediate Year. These men have been a valuable addition and have worked whole- heartedly for the interests of Year '27. The Conversazione is the crowning social event of the third year, probably of the whole College course, and Year '27 upheld her reputation on this occasion and staged one of the best dances of the season. The music, decor- ations and arrangements, even to minor details, received the com- plimentary remarks ot' all who attended. As Seniors you brought credit to your year and the College in live stock judging. The team won second in the very keenly contested competition at the National Dairy Show, bringing to thr' College for the first time the Wyandotte Trophy. At the Royal Show, Toronto, your team was first in the inter-college competition giving the O.A.C. another win on t.he Farmer's Dairy Trophy. In attending to the regular routine of lectures you have not overlooked the opportunities afforded outside the class-room. ln the social life of the College, dramatic and musical functions, the year has always been well represented. In public speaking and debates, you have won the reputation that you could on either side dispute, change hands and still confute. Three of your men were on the Inter-College debating team which won for the O.A.C. in 1926. As Seniors you clearly demonstrated debating ability in the lnter-Year debate, winning in a hard-fought verbal battle on Sen- ate Reform. No history ot' Year '27 would be complete unless mention were made of the ladies in the course. Starting with two in the Fresh- man class, this number was increased to three at the beginning of the Sophomore Year. Two of these girls are in the graduating class and all have been welcomed and valuable members, always showing the keenest interest in all year affairs throughout the entire college course. The executive ability of the year has been shown in various college organizations. Positions of responsibility have been held frm-md by men of this class on the clubs and societies about the institution. The revising of the Students' Council Handbook, bringing it up to date, owing largely to the efforts of the men in '27, serves only as an illustration ot' the work that has been done in this capacity. Time and space prevent a more detailed account of the activ- ities and happenings during the four years at College. Sufhce to say that during this period of time there has been a feeling oi' fellowship, year-spirit shall we call it, permeating your ranks. Self praise and exaggeration have been absent, yet all felt the obligation and duty that was theirs in upholding the year spirit and fraternity. You have had capable Presidents in Denham, Ridley, Andrew and Morwick, all having been assisted with well-chosen executives anfl supported by the co-operation of the entire class. Your college course is drawing rapidly to a close, Soon you will be shouldering the responsibility of a knowledge of the science of agriculture. Then it is that the traits which have characterized you as a year will be of benefit in your particular vocation. Knowledge gained in working and co-operating with classmates will help you in mingling and conversing with the peoples with whom you come in contact. The various executive positions occupied will give an experience helpful in planning and arranging work regard- less of its nature. The conspicuous absence of self conceit and brag- gishness, with a spirit of self confidence and good fellowship are t.raits that make for true gentlemen. The unstinted effort put forth for any worthy cause develop a spirit of responsibility and depend- ability. All of these, together with knowledge gained in books, should help you to be leaders in agriculture and bring credit to your Alma Mater. It lhas been an honour and pleasure to act as your Honorary President. In leaving the stage my parting wish is for the truest success in years to come. , ,L Pa ce Twenty

You have since entering this institution, both individually and as a year, pressed forward to a better knowledge ot' agriculture, ever keeping in mind the covetous degree in this vocation. You have now almost reached the goal. Soon you will join the great army of ex-students and look back to your Alma Mater with a proud but reminis- cent spirit. On September 28th, 1923, Year '27 hrst graced the corridors of Johnston Hall. There you were, a group of strange faces in a strange land, each with his o w n preconceivezl ideas of how to con- duct himself and how g YEAR Pnzsman-rs The first demonstration ot' Year '27's worth was at Field Dav in the l'lI't'Sl1l'I'I2lll Year. After the smoke of burning rivalry had cleared away, a freshman emerged as champion of the sports, an accomplishment which rarely occurs in the history ot' the O. A. College. From this time, throughout the College course, members of the year have continued to take an active part in athletics. In individual sports ot' wrestling, lzoxing, track and tank, in group games such as rugby, basketball, soccer, hockey and baseball, Year '27 has demonstrated W W qwxivi her athletic ability.

While peacetully sleeping, dream- ing of home and friends, the wily Sophomores overturned your comfortable beds, unceremoniously precipitating you on the Hoor. It remained for the melting influences ot' the initiation exercises to clarify and weld together your ideas and to emerge you as a group ot' fellow students with common needs and trials. From this time up to the present, Year '27 has stuck together as thc bright little band.

Ot' these men some have dropped out ot' agricultural lite, many have returned to the farm and are using in a practical way some of the knowledge learned while here, others have continued in the search for agricul- luen
