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.
