Our lot has been no easy one but still we have enjoyed it. for through it all there has dominated that inexpressible satisfaction that comes only with the service and loyalty to one’s Alma Mater. Our purpose in creating this book is two-fold: To transmute the pleasures of our school days as preserved in these contents, into golden memories, for the Alumnus; and to glorify the Senior Class of '24, an honor which they most certainly deserve. Inasmuch as we have completed the accomplishment of these purposes, have we earned the right to throw out the anchor and turn over the pilot’s wheel” with the satisfaction of a work well done. We gratefully acknowledge the support which we have received from every source, especially the two representatives of the Senior Class — Miss Schwarzwaelder and Mr. Shear. To the Class of 1924, wc extend sincere and hearty wishes for a bon voyage” on the sea of life. Our duties are performed. Our task is ended. We go! Au revoir to you all! THE STAFF. Faye Four The VOICE Miss Calla Louise King The VOICE Page Five Drtoratimi tn (Halla ffimtiar iKiitij 1 o our retiring faculty advisor, who for four years as a member of our faculty, has given unsparingly of her many talents for the advancement and well-being of our Alma Mater, especially in the creation and continued successful existence of our ‘'Voice,” do we of the Staff of 1923-24 — affectionately dedicate this, our second annual Year Book. Page Six The VOlCl' (Ditr rbmtl Beyond the road that leads from yonder town. Upon a hill that stands in deep renown. There rests a simple s'ructure, drab and cold — Yet from its doors there issue many bold; They pass from studies, books and field — To be the harvest, quite the greater yield. It is through their efforts, nobly placed — That we as classmates with time’s silence raced. To speed the good work on and ever on and on — For these to come—a monument to those already gone. And as we view our life in misty past and veil-- Our old school stands above the simple hill and dale. An artificial, age ng structure to be sure — Bu� something vast, a headstone to endure; And o’er the graves of yesterday’s fond hopes, We see the flowers blooming down the slopes That lead to memories, things to be taken well — Of teacher’s faces and hc old class bell; Of skirmishes and battles fought and won. Just good old ties that live, ‘neath cloud and sun. PAUL D. GORMLEY. Student Body The VOICE Page Seven Voice Staff Page Eight The VOICE The VOICE Page Nine Bmrp i’tatf 1923-24 DONALD Z.

To Cobleakill they made their way. And in the beginning was Cobleskill Ag invaded. An army of Frosh, the like of which had never been seen on the hill before. Forty strong we stormed the main building, on the magnificent fall day of October I 5, 1921, and there registered ourselves as students of this noble institution. The day of the ‘wearing of the green had not yet dawned, but we were green and as genuine Freshmen, we were fresh. Our unusual pep and enthusiasm soon took the school by storm and it was not long before we had become an integral part of its being. To make us feel more at home, the faculty tendered us one of its famous welcoming parties and its proper effect was undoubtable. Despite all of these friendly considerations, we were mindful that in union there is strength and we organized the Class of 1924, with the result that we chose: President-F. Leslie Frost, Jr. Vice-President—Milton Tabor. Secretary-! reosurcr—C. Milton Devcnpeck A reception on December 9th at the Methodist Church helped to draw us into contact with the activities of the beautiful village, in which we were now residing. When the call for basketball was issued, we Frosh responded splendidly and furnished three players on the extra-successful varsity squad of that year. Our class team soon got under way and won five of its nine hard games that season. The big social event of our Frosh year was the By-Gosh Dance” on December 10, which was a most novel and enjoyable rural rustic affair, with dancing and games for all. Five of our members had become so chummy by November 1 3 as to form a fraternity—Alpha Zeta Phi, which has since become Alpha Theta Chapter of the Pi Phi National Fraternity. Our predecessors, the Freshmen Class of 23, had instituted a school paper — The Voice and when the Frosh of ’24 had worked so earnestly as to earn five places on its staff by January, its continued existence was guaranteed. We have been the very life of this publication from that day to this. Time sped on (as only time can speed) and we soon found our Freshmen year a thing of the past. with ourselves on the farms applying the knowledge that we had annexed. With muscles hardened and spirits rejuvenated, thirty of us returned as Juniors in the fall of ’22. It was a radical jump from the summer s fellowship with nature to the association of our classmates amid the confinement of the schoolroom. Nevertheless, we were prone to organize and elected as our leaders: Presid-nt- Donald Z. Tcrhune. Vice-President—Kenneth B. Turner. Secretary-Treasurer-John L-. Shear. Faculty Advisor— -Kenneth C. Fox. On Hallowe'en evening, October 31, we proceeded to subdue the haughtiness of the new Frosh class by defeating them in the first Freshman Rush. The scrap which took place on Main Street’s velvety (?) surface was a thing of beauty and a joy forever, with a heavy casualty list on both sides. Soon after this, with the assistance of the Seniors, we drew up the first set of Freshmen rules, which later formed the basis for the present rules. Our class basketball team got an early start and despite numerous losses of players to the varsity, had a fairly successful season. Some of our members having special interests were responsible for the formation of the Feather Club and the Radio Club. Page. Eighteen The VOICE Again the strength of the fraternal spirit was manifested by a small group of our classmates and Sigma Tau was organized. This order soon after became the Epsilon Chapter of the Theta Gamma National Agricultural Fraternity. 7 wo 24 men represented our school on a Stock Judging Team which placed second in a contest at Cornell, during Farmers’ Week. We were given representation on the newly-formed Student Council and both the president and secretary of this body were members of our Junior Class. In accordance with the general policy of the year, our class was not active socially but our Junior Dance on March I 6 went over in fine style. Time passed still more rapidly and soon brought the end of our second school year at Cobleskill Ag, a year for which we certainly have no regrets, but rather much to be thankful for. I he start of our final lap on October 15, 192 3, found but fifteen veterans of '24 returning. Our small size was short lived, however, for we were joined by the two-year and special Ag. course fellows and the Home Economics and Teacher Training girls, which raised our numbers to fifty. We soon got together and the elections resulted in: President — Donald Z. Tcrhunc. Vice-President — Alice G. Hampston. Secretary — Emma H. Van Dcwcrker. Treasurer — Carl D. Gaige. Faculty Advisor — Robert A. Browning. Added to these on the Executive Committee were: Clarence A. Lin- son, E. Allen Dyer, Marion Satchell and Elizabeth Boname. A Senior Committee was chosen in accordance with a new Student Council ruling, to arrange and conduct all assembly programs. Again our classmates took a prominent part in ’varsity basketball, the Council. Voice, Orchestra, clubs and fraternities. In class basketball our Senio- team was supreme, beating both the other classes and the Middlcburg seconds. A Poverty Party on December I 5 was our first social event of the year. Its delightful informality met wi'h enthusiastic endorsement by all. The Alumni Dance on December , 19 was managed by a committee from our class and its success was a real credit to ’24. Our second class party, January 26, despite bad weather conditions, attracted forty students to the hill and was voted another royal fine affair. In an effort to benefit the Student Loan Fund, we gave a movie benefit on February I 3, at the Park Theatre, which netted over $35 for this worthy cause. And so the year has passed away with seeming impossible rapidity. The sands in the hour glass of our State School career have gradually filtered through and we are faced with the realization that our stay on the hill” will soon be only a pleasant memory. Our history as a class is about to end. but in our hands as individuals is vested the responsibility of upholding the prestige of our Alma Mater in the fields of world service. As we pass out from Cobleskill Ag and its beautiful surroundings, we bear this thought in mind and bid all a hearty farewell. “Memories of the past will cheer us As we oft repeat thy name. Our beloved Alma Mater We will ever sing thy fame.” Class Colors Class Motto Class Flower I larding Blue and Silver Launched but not anchored Violet Baccalaureate Sermon — Sunday evening, March 30, Methodist Church; sermon by the Rev.

Lay aside for awhile all of your earthly cares and tribulations and dwell with me in the realms of the future. 1 am the spirit of 1924. Mine is an age of progress. The new constantly replaces the old. Man s accomplishments in scientific discovery are marvelous, but they are extremely uncertain and mystic. Communication from man to man on earth is well nigh perfect. Similar intercourse between earthly man and the dwellers of the other planets may soon be expected to follow. Science is at its best. Why trifle longer with such antiquities as the palm reader, the crystal sphere, magic cards, or the ouija board? I will lay aside, then, the old and use as my medium that modern instrument of mystery -the radio. 1 am the spirit of 1934. My laboratory is the receiving room of a gigantic radio station. Fervently I finger the big dials, spinning them slowly here and there, in the hopes of adding some new station to the more than 500 already recorded in my log book. Suddenly. 1 am rewarded and as I tune in closer, I hear a seemingly familiar voice announcing: “Station C-O-T-F—the planet of Mars — Dclmcr E. Mereness announcing. 1 am about to broadcast a census of the Senior Class of 1924 of the New York State School of Agriculture at Coblcskill, New York, United States of America. To-day marks the tenth anniversary of their graduation. I was a member of that class. Soon after, I forsook the teaching profession to take a position as an experimenter with the General Elec-tric. 1 was selected to attempt a flight to Mars in an electrically propelled rocket. I was successful, so I never returned. I have continued my experiments here and among my creations is an ultra-powerful lens with which I can sweep the earth before my view. With the aid of this instrument, I have been able to follow the meanderir.gs of my former classmates. Now I am opening the first radio broadcasting station on Mars and with this program I dedicate this Station C-O-T-F to the memory of the Class of '24. “Philadelphia. Penn., first attracts my attention. A crowd of men are surging into a Salvation Army Gospel Tent. Who is the dear sister conducting the meeting but Beverly Whitley, as dashing and vivacious as ever. No wonder so many are hitting the trail. “Louise Stilwell has settled at Baltimore, Maryland, where she is a divorce expert, and also practices mind reading. She has never yet seen the ocean and still judges its roughness by the waves in men’s hair. “A circus showing at Stanton, Virginia, draws my eye. From the large banners, I find it to be Madame Swart’s Selebratcd Society Shows — and sure enough, there is D. Ihresa herself, ruler, as always, trying her best to arouse from his slumbers a blonde-haired young man, reposing under one of the big wagons. I recognize him as a former school male from Vineland. N. J. Around this “queen of the sawdust” are gathered a formidable array of former State School prominents. Richmond is the dignified, business-like ringmaster, with swallow-tail coat, high hat and cracking whip. Kelly, bedecked as a clown, leads the monkeys around the ring as if he were right at home. Nellie Gordon is still up to her old tricks of deception, as the fairy-like trapeze performer. The boisterous, blushing ’bally-hoo’ man of the sideshow is none other than John Ewing, talking as usual. In this show, I see the Siamese twins — Ruth Buhrmaster and Ruth Palmer, and the living skeleton — Nelson Pangburn. Carl Gaige has set up his tripod and suitcase on one side and is working the 'three-shell game’ with great success. On the outside, Jack Shear is amusing the crowd with his realistic imitation of the old-fashioned cootch dance.’ I aye. Th i rlij- High t The VOICE “Leaving the circus, I pause for a brief moment at u watermelon patch near Savannah, Georgia, to find George Phillips in a characteristic pose. I le is seated in a morris chair, under a large parasol, sucking some very mysterious looking iced tea ( ? ) through a straw, while a crew of niggers harvest the melons. “At Palm Beach, Florida, dwells Betty Boname, who is the wife of a charming former Albany young man, a salesman of photo supplies. His business keeps him on the road most of the time, so they live very happily. Now my view centers on Birmingham, Alabama, where Keith s are starring a singing and dancing parody on ’Romeo and Juliet.’ I he fair damsel of the pair bears a likeness of Edith Fryar and her talented husband reminds one of a former Junior — a distant namesake of two great Civil War generals. “It is but a skip westward to the oil fields near Tulsa, Oklahoma. A soap-box orator attracts a large crowd. I recognize the silver-tongued worker as Philip Whalen. I le is now defacing the Ku Klux Klan, having decided after ten years that the only way to win the bonus is to destroy the Klan. “Eddie I homas must have tired of the rigid winters of Glens balls, for I find he and his wife running a fruit ranch in one of the fertile valleys of New Mexico, and raising purebred Holsteins and prospective school teachers on the side. “Now I view the movie studios at Universal City, Nevada, where the production of an elaborate drama of the Orient is under way.

After a few days we became acquainted with one another, and held our first class meeting on the 18th of October. The following officers were elected: George Carlow, President; Robert Glenn, Vice-President; Herbert Runkle, Secretary, and Amos Devenpeck, Treasurer. At the first basketball practice we were represented by a large number, so we decided to organize a team of our own. At a inetting in the latter part of November we elected Lee Sherman for our Manager, and Amos Devenpeck for our Captain. The Class of ’25 is noted for having the largest enrollment ever made. Of these, six were high school graduates. Many members of the Class of ’25 have been admitted to fraternities. It was a marked distinction for Freshmen to be allowed to join one of these. We have thus completed our first milestone that will always stand in the h’story of old “Aggie.” On the 15th of October, 1923, we started making another milestone. A task of this sort would last s x months, so we desired to make it worth while. Again we organized and at our first meeting elected the following officers; Harold Wemple, President; Lee Sherman, Vice-President, and Kenneth Cornick, Secretary and Treasurer. Later, Mr. Walker was made class advisor. Meetings were held every Friday morning. In our Freshman year we were rushed by the Juniors. It was the beginning of Freshmen rules in this school. This year we Juniors rushed against the Frosh ar.d the victory was decided in our favor. At a meeting in the latter part of November we organized a basketball team. Floyd Meyer was elected Manager and Harold Wemple, Captain. We had many hard fights, not always ending in victories, but we took all cheerfully. Although our class was not socially inclined, we held a very successful party in February. Members of the class are engaged in many school activities, which helps to broaden their school life. These include the Voice. Student Council, Varsity Basketball and other minor activities. Wc are mighty proud of some of the students in our class. Amos Devenpeck won second prize in a judging contest at the National Dairy Show. Tie ranked first for the State of New York. In the fitting contest, held Farmers Week, Charles Cheney, Edwin Butler and Everett Sacia won first in their classes This, we think, ic a very good record but, nevertheless, we will try to make it better.

We were divided into units of six men each and spent the first two weeks in practice work on the school farm. Soon after, we organized and elected Thomas Yates as president; Carlton Slater, vice-president, and Charles Freebern, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Wheeler was chosen class advisor. Since the start of school we have been wearing the green caps as prescribed by the Freshmen rules, under which we were the first class at Coble-skill Ag. to be subjected. Our class has always tried in every way, as a group, to live up to these rules, remembering that our chance will come next year. 1 Iallowe'en night came the annual Freshman-Junior rush on the village green and though wc green caps scored a bit under our adversaries, we put up a real hard fight. The Freshmen contributed Yates, Howard and French to the ’varsity basketball squad and Yates has been a regular member of the first five of the season. Howard was appointed to represent us on the Student Council but has since become a Junior and Harry Knight has taken his place. In class basketball our success has been limited, but, nevertheless, we have shown the fighting spirit. The loss of eight fellows, to the two-year course, following the first term exams was a big blow to the class organrzation and especially our basketball team. It was necessary to elect two new officers and we chose Stephen Merchant as vice-president and Harry B. Knight, secretary-treasurer. On February I, we held a Frosh Jubilee in the form of a dance in the school auditorium. Everyone had a fine time and it was a financial success. We now have a class Executive Committee made up of the officers and Jesre Stewart, Chester Williamson, John Pressey and Herbert Pulver. Our class colors are blue and white. We have a live group of fellows interested in an education to fit them as better rural dwellers and wc have worked hard for the benefit of our school and ourselves. Our eagerness for service makes possible the prophesy of a great future for the Class of 1926. JOHN E. PRESSEY.

Although there was a council last year, the members were appointed by the Director. Now, however, five of the Councilmcn arc elected directly by the classes which they represent. When first inaugurated, the Council had charge of athletics and affairs pertaining to the Voice, also any other thing that would tend to promote school spirit. This year, however, two other major duties have come under our supervision; the enforcement of freshmen rules and freshmen attendance in the library. When one considers the many handicaps with which we have been confronted, he must admit that we have made quite a creditable record for so young an organization. E. Allen Dyer Members Seniors Carl D.

The class numbered thirteen and was taught by Ida M. Smith of Saratoga Springs. Its home room was located on the second floor of the Home Economics Building. On account of the number of enrollments for the Teacher Training work received last summer, it was necessary to change the department to larger quarters. Room 201 in the main building was chosen. This room was first used as the kitchen and foods laboratory of the Homemaking Department. After September, 1920, it served as a botany laboratory and a class room where Mr. Smith carried on his work in horticulture. This year it has made a pleasant, light, spacious home-study room for the twenty-one members of the present Teachers’ Training Class, and its instructor, Calla Louise King. The work of this department is to prepare high school graduates to teach the elementary subjects preferably in the rural schools of the State. Agriculture, Rural Sociology and Home Economics are included in the course of study. A required part of the work consists of observation and teaching in rural schools near Coblcskill. The license granted at the completion of the year’s work entitles the holder to teach for three years in the elementary schools of the State. After one year's teaching experience, the holder of this license may be credited with one year’s advance standing in any normal school of the State.

Our first full year of active existence as Epsilon Chapter has been most bounteous in its bestowal on us of the blessings of progress and success. Six of our brothers returned last fall and we soon added three more fellows to our fellowship. Brothers T erhune and Thomas represented Epsilon at the Annual Grand Council held with Alpha Chapter, St. Lawrence University, on October 2 7. Our chapter was highly honored at this time, for it was decided that the next Grand Council would be held at Cobleskill early this coining November. 1 his will be a big event “on the hill. Our fall dance on December 8 will always rank with State School’s finest. Prominent in the decorative scheme were the revered black and gold colors of our fraternity. Not only was the hall beautiful, but so artistic and original was the arrangement, as to produce an effect that was extremely weird and impressive. All in all, it was truly an enjoyable affair. With a real dash of fraternal spirit, the Inter-Fraternity Dance on February 1 5 “went over” as an outstanding success, thru the combined efforts of Pi Phi and T heta Gamma. Soon after, we again increased our roll, when five more fellows became “brothers in the bonds.” On the evening of March 7, the members of the chapter were entertained by our honorary members, Mr. Browning and Mr. Fox and Mrs. Browning and Mrs. Fox, at the Browning home. 1 he brothers present certainly found nothing lacking in the hospitality of their hosts, and all spent a most enjoyable social evening. Exceeding in every way the high standards of our previous social endeavors, was our Spring Dance on March 22. The school auditorium was transformed into a “fairyland,” with its bedecking of green leaves and pink apple blossoms — the symbols of the coming of spring, and its new-born nature. It was an elaborate riot of unrestrained beauty. The program during intermission proved a distinct and pleasing novelty. With the music at its best, this was the “dancers’ paradise.” Throughout the year, we have had numerous stag parties for the sole entertainment of the brothers of the chapter. Our members have been especially active in every phase of school life and activity. Their records alone bear sufficient testimony of their success. The first award of the Theta Gamma T rophy for excellence in athletics goes to Clarence A. I .inson, whose record for the past three years has most effectively combined athletic activity with good sportsmanship and without slighting scholarship and participation in other student projects. Such ability denotes the true worth of a man. Par r Ki.rf i - T ico The VOICE We join with the school in expressing our regret over the news that on May 1 we are to lose our Animal Husbandry Instructor — Robert A. Browning, who leaves to accept a position on the sales force of Park and Pollard, feed manufacturers, of Boston. As an honorary member of Epsilon Chapter, his advice has been indispensable and his support always timely and sustaining. An ardent and conscientious worker at every task, he has ever placed the welfare of the school first at heart. Under his supervision, the school dairy herd has become a model for its kind. His ability as a teacher and his straightforward, Christian manliness, have won him a place of deep respect and high regard among those who really know' him. The school as a whole, and Epsilon in particular, will miss him. It is our sincere wish that he and his family will find the future a prosperous one and that the associations made at Cobleskill Ag, and the ties formed “in the bonds” of Epsilon will not soon be forgotten. With our sixth Commencement Exercises, eight of the brothers of our chapter pass into Alumni membership. These years ahead should simply strengthen their respect and love for their Alma Mater. Here, too, they will find ample opportunity to use the training of their active affiliation for the betterment of their fellow men. Brothers one! Brothers all! With a strong hand and A warm heart, we bid you farewell, with the hope that in loyalty to your Theta Gamma, you will go on to greater and better things, as inspired by------ “the mother of truthful and worthy men.

Upon our return to school last October, after a hard and strenuous summer’s work, we found the following brothers ready for action — Ken I urner. Cowboy Linson, Hutch, Bobby Glenn, Ken Cornick and Pat Center, and la cr we were joined by Jay McCunn, who had found the summer’s work extremely lasting and invigorating. During the term, the following men were initiated into this chapter: George A.

The Pi Phi forty-fifth annual convention was held at Buffalo in the Mew Statler Hotel, from May 31 to June 2, 1923. I he report of our delegate was very satisfactory, which proves that this convention marks another great achievement in the history of our great fraternity. Our first party ard darce was given on November 3rd and was held in honor of Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Knapp. On November 23rd, we gave a dar.ee which proved to be a big surprise to everybody. A record breaking crowd attended and thoroughly enjoyed the evening's entertainment. Our First Annual Alumni Banquet was held at the I lotel Augustan on December 20th. A well-chosen menu was served, during which the conversation of the brothers brought to our memories many interesting and unforgettable incidents of the past. All the alumni brothers were present, with the exception of Earl G. Pepper, Fred Peck, Jr., and Clifton T. Alden, who could not attend on account of the distance to travel. The inter-fraternity spirit was more fully embodied into the hearts of the members ard � he students, when the two fraternities of our school held their first inter-fraterr.ity dance on February the 15th, which brought the brothers of both fraternities into closer inter-fraternal relations. I he auditorium was most appropriately decorated and the best of music was furnished by Doc Pease and his orchestra. March the 29th will live long in the memories of those who attended the novelty darce given in honor of the Trustees of our school. Without a doubt it was the best party that this chapter ever held. The decorations, novelties and favors will always be a pleasure to recall, but most important of all was the exhibition of our new banner which is but another symbol of the strength of Pi Phi.

We Red of lots of Pep Cumming from an Earl from the Center of Robert’s Glenn and we Burrows out room for more freshmen, who were nourished by a very prominent goat in due season.

Page Sixty-Six The VOICE The VOICE Page ttixhj-Se oen Varsity Squad Page Sixty Pig lit The VOICE Haakptball Another basketball season is over. The team has lost and won, but always, whether losing or winning, it has shown the finest spirit of wholehearted competition, coupled with good, clean sportsmanship, which is the aim of amateur athletics. I his season is Mr. Walker’s first here as coach, and under him the team has advanced in tremendous strides. Material was limited at the outset, only two major and three minor letter men being back from last year; and the squad of candidates that turned out was small. A fair number of freshmen came out, but only three weathered the final cut in the squad. Because of the late opening date of the school, the team is always handicapped by playing teams that have had some six weeks’ more practice, and the first game.- arc the hardest to win. 1 he Aggies have faced an unusually stiff schedule this season. i or the first time they were listed in the Tri-County League which included Coopers-town, Oneonta, Sidney and Cobleskill high schools. In the final standing the Ag. boys are in a tie with Cooperstown for third place. The two games with the Cobleskill High School proved to be the most spirited of the season, with the High winning each only by a small margin. It can only be hoped that the teams of succeeding years will be able to combine the same unusual fighting spirit shown this year, with the more favorable conditions resulting from a permanent coaching system and a home court of their own. All for the advancement of the Cobleskill State School as a formidable competitor in basketball — its lone athletic endeavor. The outlook gives promise.

They played boys’ rules, declaring that girls’ rules were too slow for them. They should be congratulated on their success, for although they only played five games during the season, they won three and lost the first game only by two points after an extra period.

Gaige presented the picture to the school . Mr. Frank Ryder accepted the gift in behalf of the trustees and showed us that not only the students but everyone connected in any way with the school realized his sterling worth. Mr. Knapp followed with a few choice words of sincere appreciation. This impressive assembly program of November I 5th was one which will long be remembered by all those present. Farewell Party to Director and Mrs. Knapp Friday evening. November 16th will always rank highly in State School social history, for it marked the farewell reception and dance in honor of Director and Mrs. H. B. Knapp (who were about to leave us for their new home at Farmingdale) given by the faculty, alumni and students. Over one hundred and fifty persons gathered in the school auditorium to enjoy the unique and impressive program near the close of which the Director was presented with an enlarged panoramic picture of the school and a gold watch and chain, suitably engraved, as remembrances from the faculty, alumni and students. At the close of the program, delicious refreshments were served by a local caterer and then dancing was in vogue till well after the hour of ore. The program follows: Master of Ceremonies, D.

VOICE Page Seven I ij-Seeen THE SHORT COURSE PARTY On the evening of January 19th, the faculty and students tendered a party at the school to the men in the Short Winter Agricultural Course. There were games and dancing, the music being furnished by the school orchestra. The affair was entirely informal and a splendid success. THE INTER-FRATERNITY DANCE The Inter-Fraternity Dance on February 1 5 marked the first effort at co-operation between the two fraternities for the social benefit of the school and to this end was the event extremely successful. A huge American flag was draped over the central portion of the auditorium and on the windows were mounted the Greek letters of the two orders in their respective colors. It was a simple, yet effective arrangement. Doc Pease and his orchestra furnished the jazz and some fifty couples merrily tripped the ’ light fantastic.” The committees in charge were: Theta Gamma Lee G. Sherman DeWitt Rockefeller John Ewing Pi Phi Kenneth Turner George Phillips Robert Whipple I aye. Sc vent y-K i gh I The VOICU iFarm rB’ Jtok Despite a slightly decreased attendance, caused no doubt by the rush and bustle of the holiday season, our eighth annual Farm and Home Week proved to be an unusual success, a worthy successor to those gone before and a real credit to our school. Not only was the speaking program of the usual high talent, but one could not help but be more especially impressed with the wide variety and practicability of the topics discussed, all of which were a direct appeal for the betterment of country life. Exceptionally fast competition was provided in the second annual cattle-fitting contest. I lere again, it was proven that 'haste makes waste” and the fellows who had faithfully and painstakingly prepared and cared for their animals, succeeded in taking the lion’s share” of the high prizes. Under the skillful judging of Professor Savage, Joseph L. Howard, '25, showing a Jersey, was given the sweepstakes or grand championship. I he reserve went to Charles Cheney, '25, with a Guernsey. In its first egg show, the Feather Club brought out a somewhat diminutive but excellent exhibit of twenty-one dozen. Rev. G. L. Bice, Cobleskill, had the best dozen browns and Forsgate Farms, Jamesburg, N. J., took not only the best dozen whites but also the sweepstakes cup for the best dozen eggs in the show. With the proper preparation and publicity, we look for this show to be one of the outstanding features of future Farmers’ Weeks. Another interesting and attractive exhibit, though non-competitive, was found in the fruit show. Most of the fruit on display was grown in the State School orchards. Other prominent exhibitors were: H. B. Knapp, Port Byron, N. Y.; Fred L. Porter, Crown Point, N. Y.; Forsgate harms, Jamesburg, N. J., and R. B. Knapp, Delaware. The variety and quality of the State School fruit was a pleasing surprise to most of the visitors and again brought to our realization the possibilities for commercial fruit growing in the Schoharie Valley. Four teams of three students each competed in the first Ag. High School Judging Contest. Edmeston, with 1,113 points, won the handsome silver team trophy; honorable mention going to Catskill. The highest average individual score of 387 was made by Winfred Arnold of Edmeston, which won for him the pure-bred calf. The other individual awards in the various events were well divided among the four teams, proving that keen competition was in vogue. There have been more successful Farm and Home Weeks, from the standpoint of attendance alone, but for the quality and variety of the program provided and the enthusiasm shown, the week just passed eclipsed all records. The faculty and student committees alike should share in the glory of success but deserving of more special praise arc the efforts of Director Crittenden and the general chairman, John L. Shear, 24. Of this much we may be assured — our high ideals of Cobleskill Ag. s accomplishments were ably carried on and in the proper direction. The VOICE Page Seventy-Niue Alumni ANNUAL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION MEETING The annual gathering of the Alumni Association took place on Wednesday of kantiers’ Week, December 19th. In the afternoon the grads started things right by defeating the 'varsity at basketball (25-16). A business session and election of officers in the evening was followed by an enjoyable banquet in the school cafeteria, with twenty-five members present. The school orchestra played during courses and later there were toasts and talks from everyone present; after which all sojourned to the main auditorium and the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing. Class numerals in their colors, and orange and black streamers were prominent in the decorations of the hall. Frier’s Melody Boys furnished the music.
