His brief years have been an inspiration to those who knew him best. Class of ’49. 4uSeUiai m9 PRESENTED BY THE GRADUATING CLASS OF THE NEW YORK STATE AGRICULTURAL AND TECHNICAL INSTITUTE AT DELHI, NEW YORK Volume 28 ou HAVE traveled together along the Road of Education during your two years as a student at Delhi. Now you have come to the crossroads, and you and your classmates leave Delhi in different directions. Whatever road you choose shall take you far away from the familiar scenes and faces which we of the FiDELlTAS staff have as¬ sembled in this volume. We hope that now and again you will pause and look back down the road to Delhi, and in so doing, be pleasantly reminded of affairs and places almost forgotten. It is the purpose of this book to refresh your memory and take you back along the road that leads to the village of Delhi and the Class of 1949. CLARKE G. HOFFMAN, A.B., M.A. Instructor in Social Science Studies edicatuut OR YOUR sincere interest in our everyday problems, and for your outstanding ability as an in¬ structor, we, the Class of 1949, dedicate this volume of Fidelitas to you, as an expression of our apprecia¬ tion and thanks for a job well done. .44.44.44.44.44.44 Se4uxi Qlaii UR CLASS CONSISTED of 104 members which made it the largest graduating class to date. About 40% of the class were veterans of World War II. Some of them lived in neatly painted barracks on Wall Street, in Brookside Apartments, or in Academy Hall. Many veterans brought their wives to Delhi. While daddy mastered Genetics, Junior screamed for attention. During our brief 2 years on the hill we saw many changes taking place as the school went thru a period of growing pains. New instructors and new buildings were added. We greeted the girls in the reinstated Secretarial-Commercial course with wide open arms. We brought the Oracle back to life again, and made it into an active campus newspaper that voiced the students’ opinion of school life—so much so that we organized a Student Council. The social life of the Dairy Industry students was given a badly needed boost with the formation of the Dairy Industry Club, which had an initial membership of 20 students. Yes, the Class of ' 49 left a lasting impression on the hill campus. We studied hard and had plenty of fun besides. We will especially remember the wonderful Christmas party the Senior girls gave us. Open House nights and basketball games. Thru rain, wind and drifting snow we struggled to make an eight o’clock class. We wondered if spring would ever come to Delaware County. One sunny day the hillsides lost their covering of snow and the brown patches turned green again. It was spring, and time for the Class of ’49 to start a new Journey down the Road of Life.

Director of The Institute 1 a i€ uelL ta the eUu of W9 HERE ARE THOSE who might tell you that graduates today face no such exciting future as presented itself to those in years gone by. This is not true. The discoveries of science within the past few years have opened up a whole new future. It will take alert, well trained minds to make the most of the opportunities that await you. When I glimpse the exciting possi¬ bilities of the future, I envy you. My wish for the Class of 1949 is a Bright and Happy Future.

AnimoL 444jM4idn4f IVe learned how much of feeds to give from a book by Morrisson, To our Jersey or Holstein herd in our big, red barn, Not to expect 30,000 pounds of milk from a black and white. But to know about calf bearing, cows freshening, and trying to do things right. good earth is turned to fit it for the next year’s growth. The 1 = Loads of milk, butter, and ice¬ cream do we plan a-testing, A milkman s work is always go¬ ing, never resting; Will our own butter make a 93 score? Fellows, do you know about the Sanitary Law? Ten quart ice-cream freezer produces many desired flavors. •J 1 The churn and cheese room. Is it a Paper Birch or Grey Birch? Not too much lime for potatoes, Let’s have no weeds among the tomatoes, Pruning should be known and tree wounds treated right. If you don’t know how much super phosphate to use, apply light. Testing soil samples to determine the relative acidity. Preparing the greenhouse for seedling growing. I PouHmi, Pnoductuxn Is it a New Hampshire, Red Rock, or Wyandotte?

Wassmer s homework in Drafting was rough, But it was his Strength of Materials that really got tough. Then there’s Industrial History, with Mr. Law, And his Freshman Masonry taught to pupils, raw.

It not only serves as a dormitory for the girls, but is also a meeting place for all on the campus when “Open House” is held under the gracious supervision of Mrs. MacElroy, one of the house mothers. Here, and in the school, the girls learn much about Foods, Dietetics, and Homemaking. The rest of us will remember the teas, parties and informal hours spent there, and the many nutritious meals served by the girls in the school dining room. While they were Juniors, the girls concentrated on courses which taught nutrition for the smaller groups, family and personal relations, sewing, arts and science. They each took a turn at the Davis House, another attractive campus residence, for House Practice. Here they tried to meet the family budget and prepare for next year’s problem of feeding the hungry. The pictures on the following pages will give you an idea of how they worked and played, with whom they lived, and that part of the campus devoted to learning to live in the house by the side of The Road.

This year it echoes the tap, tap, and ring, ring, of the typewriters of potential stenographers. Here we were introduced to the mysteries of the meaning of circles and pothooks, debits and credits, assets and liabilities. The duties of an “Office wife,” filing, a general knowledge of office machines, business computations, business correspondence, and office etiquette, we learned and put into practice.

Our class can look back with much pride on the initiation of a Student Council that represented all of the students and campus organizations of the school. The Student Council was re-organized after a lapse of several years. Largely responsible for this improvement in their self- governing affairs were the students themselves. However, it was also made a reality thru the efforts of Coach Smith, and the publica¬ tion of editorials in the Oracle on the need for a Student Government. Siueieni Council O icehd, Francis Lescoe .

It is a game that requires close teamwork and a “do-or-die” spirit. The Delhi Broncos displayed these traits throughout the playing season. They played hard and well. When they went down in defeat no one could say that it was due to a lack of fighting spirit. Our Green and White team had its ups and downs it is true. At times the team fought hack so strongly that eventual defeat was turned into sweet victory. Such was evident in the scraps with the Morrisville, Albany State Teachers College, and Alumni teams. This season marked the first year as coach of the team by “Dick” Smith who hails from Springfield College, Massachusetts. We think he did a fine job with good material.

The top ten scorers become team members and compete in ar¬ ranged matches with the other schools. This year, one of the girls proved her prowess as a member of the Varsity Team. Superior act¬ ing males were bowled over by Sue’s high scoring and fast rolling ball. The Varsity Team met Morrisville on two separate occasions, both of which resulted in dead¬ locks. The intramural teams have kept tlie leaders’ positions changing hands many times. The eight intramural teams have provided many thrill packed games, for both players and gallery fans alike. Thus, the rumble of tlie fast moving ball has continued to echo in the Catskills from the time of Rip Van Winkle throughout the 1949 season. , • ' ' _ • ' ; : Hlma Mcde ■ i ' I Sheltered by the Cotskill Mountains In a vale so fair.
