A large increase in number was due to an exceptionally large I eachers’ d raining Class and the Home Economics girls. Also at the beginning of the second term we had a few more additions of one year men. On October 24, 1924, the class was organized with Joseph Howard, President; Velma Brooker, Vice-President; Irma Backus, Secretary; Oscar Padilla, I reasurer, and Howard J. Curtis, Faculty Advisor. The Seniors, as a class, have not been very active, although we have had a few good times, some of which are “A Bacon Bat,” “A Valentine Parly,” a play, The Brown Mouse,” and our usual good time on Hallowe’en Night, helping the Juniors initiate the Freshmen. As a matter of fact, it should be said that the Seniors have continued throughout the year in helping the Freshmen get in proper touch with the State School. The Senior Class has had a very good basketball team and the majority of the 'Varsity Squad were members of the Class of '25. Now, as we have passed our third milestone, we look back with great pleasure over our work well done and with a feeling of sorrow as we part with the many friends that we have made on the hill and in the village.

After two weeks of farm practice we became very well acquainted with one another and held our first class meeting. The following officers were elected: Thomas Yates, President; Carlton Slater, Vice-President; Charles Free-bern, Secretary-Treasurer. After the two-year men left, elections were held again. The following officers were elected: Stephen Merchant, Vice-President; Harry Knight, Secretary-I reasurer. The officers elected the second year were: Harry Knight, President; Avery Dean, Vice-President; John Pressey, Secretary and Treasurer. Our Student Council Members have been Knight, Dean, Pressey, MacMillan. Our class was the first to be under Freshmen Rules of this institution. Our class met on the village green as freshmen to baffle the upper class-men. only to lose out by a small score. I he Juniors gave us the opportunity as up-classmen to trim the frosh in a tug of war across the Cobleskill Park Creek and a cane rush. We had a successful Frosh Jubilee in the form of a dance on February 1st, 1924. We met with limited success in basketball, but showed a good fighting spirit. I he second year wc greatly endeavored to grasp more knowledge, so that we were sure to keep up our aims here. I his year we have had a dance; an Uncle Josh Play and several class basketball games; our success in both Freshman and Junior years being limited. In Egg Exhibit, Harry Knight, a Junior, won the silver cup. We organized in our Freshman Year an Executive Committee, which was to aid and advise the class on difficult questions. Our Class Colors arc blue and white. We are a lively group of fellows, interested in an education which fits us for better Rural Citizenship Our eagerness for service makes possible the prophecy of a great future for the class of 1926. The VOICE Page Forty-Seven 1 Freshman Class The VOICE Page Forty-Nine. ifrwljttmt Nnte On October 6th, 1924, twenty-three trusting young fellows journeyed to Cobleskill and wandered up the hill to enroll in Agriculture. For the first two weeks we found good use for our overalls in driving Sharpe’s team on the plow and in massaging the tractor. Wc soon knew all the first names and then we organized with the following officers: Hunt, President; MacDonald, Vice-President; Picard, Sec- retary; Palmaticr, Treasurer. Study of the handbook and purchase of the green caps followed in rapid succession and then the big event came, namely, ‘ the rush. Of course we were on the short end of the rope and were hauled through the wet, wet water, but it wasn’t so bad since someore had thoughtfully let out most of the water. Of course this person was not a freshman. We furnished a valuable man to the Varsity basketball squad in the person of Peck. We also took our place in the interclass league at the close of the first term, finishing second only to the Seniors, winning both games with the Juniors. The second term we bade goodbye to the second-year men, who became Juniors and a reorganization became necessary. We re-elected officers with the result that MacDonald guided the ship with the aid of Peck, Vice-President; Picard, Secretary, and Miller, Treasurer. We have now fulfilled our destiny as the babies of the school, and after our part in the moving-up day exercises is taken, we shall put away our toys and take our place as upper class men. Paffc I''if I ff The VOICE The VOICE Page Fifty-One (Etfitttril As the new school year started off, one of the first organizations to get together was the Student Council. We started with eight members, five Seniors and three Juniors, all being elected to the office by their respective classes. In the past year one man was appointed from each class by the Director. Last Spring the Director turned his part over to the classes, as he did not wish to interfere with class representation on the Council. It was also decided to have the Freshman Class wait two months before electing their man, so that they might get acquainted with each other and know better who would represent them. Most of our work the past school year has been to deal with the unruly ''Green Caps.” Without the support of the student body wc cannot advance very far. It takes hearty support from the students themselves in order to have a school organization like this to grow and be an asset to the school. Members this Year are: Harold Wemple, ’25, President Joseph L. Howard, ’25 Charles Freebern, ’25 Donald Robinson, 25 Makeley Nevill, ’25 Flarry B.

We have, during the last three years furnished music for many class parties and other social affairs, and appeared on programs in neighboring communities, with noteworthy results. The orchestra has made the assembly programs more interesting and has benefited the whole student body. We have lost several members in previous years, but have always been successful in obtaining new ones. Now, we Seniors are through. We take this opportunity to wish the remaining members the best success in every way in the work of the orchestra, and sincerely hope that they will overcome all obstacles. Although there are only two members left, we wish them the best success in maintaining the standard of the orchestra for years to come. Members Eleanor Sigsbee .................

Herb Runkle, Chas. Freebern and Pat” Center. We expected the speedy arrival of Brother MacCann, but due to illness, he was unable to join the ranks. All those who knew Jim surely missed him. During the term the following men became brothers in the fraternity: Farl W. Sheely, Donald Robinson, Avery Dean, Chester Williamson, Arnold MacMillen, Leo Dorsce, Wilber MacDonald, Howard Gilman and Albert Palmateer. The Pi Phi forty-sixth annual convention was held at Syracuse from June 2d to June 5th, 1923. The report of our delegate was certainly one hundred per cent, which proves that this convention marks another milestone in the great achievement in the history of our fraternity. Our first subscription dance was held on November 7th and was to welcome the students and faculty. Our second annual banquet was held at the United States Hotel on December 2d. A well-chosen menu was served to the capacity of all the brothers present. During the banquet many interesting incidents were brought back across the calendar of years to the enjoyment of all. All the Alumni brothers that could possibly get there attended. After the banquet the brothers sallied forth to the Auditorium and enjoyed a private dance with music furnished by A1 Dyer’s Melody Boys. The inter-fraternity spirit was more fully matured into the souls of the members and students, when the two fraternities held their second interfraternity affair on March 19th in the form of a banquet which more securely sealed the inter-fraternal relation of the brothers of both fraternities. It will be a long time befoe those who attended the novelty dance, April 3rd, shall forget the wonderful and hilarious fun enjoyed by all. I he decorations, novelties, favors and the memories will always be a pleasure to recall. At this time do we. Pi Phi Fraternity, wish all those who return next year and those who start out on the path of life, the very best of success.

But, before our ranks are depleted by the annual Spring exodus, we would like to set forth a brief history of our second full year of achievements. One of the first things we had to look forward to was the pleasure accorded us of acting as hosts to the members of the Grand Council of Theta Gamma and welcoming them to Cobleskill for their annual meeting. During this Council Meeting we were greatly honored by having our former President, Donald Z. Terhune, chosen as Grand Exalted Master of I heta Gamma.

Alter the excitement of meeting old acquaintances and of making new ones; after our studies had begun in earnest, we took up the consideration of acquiring new members for our Chapter. With much judicious thought, we secured six additions to our roll, including Mr. Day as an honorary member. The entrance of each of the six new members was attended with a great deal of frivolity and enjoyment, but we trust to the discomfiture of those entering. (Well, their turn comes next year.) We anticipate two pleasurable affairs after this goes to press, and so will mention them as a part of our year’s program. The first is an inter-fraternity banquet to be held at the U. S. 1 Iotel for the members of Pi Phi and Theta Gamma, with Mr. Crittenden as Toastmaster and Mr. George Ryder, principal speaker, as our guests. Short talks will be given by members of both fraternities and especially by our guests, who are old fraternity men. Wc are expecting a very delightful time and hope to come away with a greater feeling of fellowship and cooperation towards our school and community. The final event of the season will be our Annual Spring Dance, to be given March 28th. As this is the climax to our social activities, it will be accompanied with a little greater elaborateness than usual affairs. The Auditorium will be artistically decorated and we are sure that those present will never forget the Spring Dance of Theta Gamma at Cobleskill.

I he Aggies have faced a stiffer schedule this year and, at the same time, have won a larger percentage of games. Some of the games lost were by a small margin only, hut at all times good sportsmanship and keen competition prevailed. This year was Mr. Wheeler’s first as coach, and it can be truly said that he was successful. Luckily for the team only two men were lost to the 'Varsity from last year. For the second time. State School was in the I ri-County League. We won all our games with Cooperstown, Hartwick and the local 1 ligh, but lost the championship to Oneonta in the play-off after leading the league the latter half of the season. This year we won both games from Cobleskill High, the first victory from them in four years. However, both games were closely contested and the final score only two points in our favor in each game. Near the close of the season, the 'Varsity was handicapped, due to injuries and sickness to Captain Sherman and Ken Cornick, our leading scorer. Unfortunately, for next year’s team, the squad with four exceptions graduate this April. But with these four players and with the incoming I resh-men, Coach Wheeler, no doubt will round out a good team. Here’s wishing him good luck and success.

May we look back to see the progress we have made? There has been real school spirit in old N. V. S. S. A. this year. We have had quite a number of social activities during the year; among these have been the Girls’ Reception to the Boys; Fi Phi’s Annual First Dance, Theta Gamma’s Fall Dance, Junior Dance, Frosh Dance. Annual Alumni Dance during Farm and Home Week. A subscription given by Pi Phi, Junior, Freshmen Farewell Dance to the Seniors, Theta Gamma’s Annual Spring Dance and the last dance of the school year given by Pi Phi. These have made the most of our dances each year enjoyable and have been enjoyed by the students and their friends. Besides these, there have been some parlies of different descriptions. Some of these we will mention and describe: The first was the Welcoming Party given by the girls. They certainly put on an interesting program, consisting of several school songs composed by the girls. Reading, vocal and piano duets and dancing were the main features of the evening. The girls say that they were glad to have the boys come back and the boys were certainly glad to be back. During Farm and Home Week a large number of the alumni came back to dear old State School to take a brief part in the social life on the hill.’ A good time was in store for them, for at this time they could renew all of their old acquaintances at the banquet and dance given for them. This is always an enjoyable part of Farm and Home Week and this year was no exception. Just before our Christmas vacation, the Training Class gave a Christmas party. Games and dancing furnished the evening’s entertainment until Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus arrived, bringing with them a pack of fun. After vacation we all came back to school ready for real work. But wait — the Training Class had another surprise for us, to break up the monotony of work. This was a “Poverty 1 lop. Games, stunts, dances, old and new; refreshments, lollvpops, peanuts and toothpicks were the order of '.he evening. Everyone looked as bad as possible. Soon after the Seniors gave a masquerade, Valentine party and dance. This was, of course, an enjoyable time for all present. This is the first year that the State School has had a Class Day or Moving Up Day. I his new stunt consisted of exercises by all the classes signifying their graduation or moving up from one class to a higher class. 1 he T reshies were allowed to take off their green ignorance and become Juniors and the Juniors were allowed to assume the dignified name and actions of Seniors. 1 his concludes our year, except of course our Senior Class Banquet, which is really the conclusion of our social year. All in all, we think that we’ve had a very successful and happy year. It has been enjoyed by everybody and especially by the Seniors who are leaving with a good impression and a memory of many enjoyable dances and parties. G. A. J.. ’25. A. V. S.. ’25.

The program was of such a nature as to be of interest to the farm or village home-maker, as well as of interest to the wage-earner, either tiller of the soil or village merchant. Many contests and exhibits were held during Farmers’ Week. 1 he students had an opportunity of displaying some of the skill and information gained while attending school. The Third Annual Cattle-Fitting Contest provided practical information to the contestants, as well as giving the school a facility of showing its fine herd to visitors. Prof. W. L. Crandall, of Cornell, decided that Joseph L. Howard, ’23, had best fitted his animal and thus received the sweepstakes or grand champion. Joe” received the same honor during the previous Farmers’ Week. Ideal weather during the contest was enjoyed by the spectators. 1 he new Livestock Building, under construction at the rear of the campus, will provide an excellent space despite the weather for the fitting contest during future Farmers’ Weeks. The Feather Club conducted its second egg show in the library. It was an excellent exhibit and much credit should be given Harry Knight, 26. for winning the sweepstakes cup for the best dozen eggs. Two other attractive and tempting exhibits were held in the library. The Fruit Class arranged the fruit grown on the school farm in a very pleasing manner. Fruit grown on farms of students and nearby farms were also on exhibit. The Crops Class planned an exhibit of corn and potatoes in another portion of the library. The Second Annual Agricultural High School Judging Contest was held on I hursday, December 4th. with the following five teams: F.dmeston. Maryland. Worcester, Walton and Burnt Hills. Edmeston team won the cup. I his was a repetition of their performance of last year. Karl Chase, also of Edmeston, took home the pure bred bull calf for highest individual score. The Farm and Home Week visitors enjoyed the program of speakers on various topics, as well as the different exhibits. The play, Mr. Bob, enacted by the students, was well presented on Thursday evening. Those attending Farmers’ Week will realize and appreciate the value and need of the new Livestock Building. With this building complete in the fall of 1925, the coming or I enth Annual Farm and Home Week will surpass those of former years.

This year thirty-four students are assembled to be taught appreciation of Rural Life, Country Folk and their problems, under the capable guidance of Misses Annabel Snyder and Helen Burtlcss. Out of this number there are five young men. Nine counties are represented in the class, which shows that it has a large territory from which to draw prospective students. The course is indeed an excellent one for the young person being qualified by the successful completion of a four-year High School course and desiring to teach that he may earn while he is learning. The course as given by the State School prepares only for teaching in the rural school; one of the liuest opportunities for a young person who desires to teach, as it presents the most difficult problems in education to-day. I he department is to be commended on having two capable instructors of wide experience. Miss Snyder has been a rural teacher, both in the cast, as well as in the west; a teacher in a city school and a rural supervisor; thus she can very ably instruct the class from her rich experience as she knows the needs and the problems of the rural community. Assisting her, is Miss Helen Burtless, also having taught in rural districts, who can give freely of her experience in helping the class to solve their problems and to give advice in the correct methods of teaching. Some of the outstanding points of the course this year are practice teaching in the elementary school in the village of Cobleskill; a physical training course, designed to cope with rural health problems in games and drills, also the class will go in the spring out into the rural districts for two weeks’ practice teaching. A few hikes have been taken by the Physical Education Class to favorable places for roasting “hot dogs.’’ In June the T. C. will hold a reunion of the former graduates for social and educational purposes. A program will be given in which all will take part. I his will depict some of the rural conditions. Thus wc may become better acquainted with our brothers and sisters of the Training Class Family. Early in the year the class organized itself into a club for the purpose of assuming certain duties and carrying them out; such as social and routine responsibilities. One of the social activities was presented before the Agricultural Boys arrived, in the form of a “Radio Dance, another in the form of a “Poverty Hop”; one was given just before Christmas vacation suitable to the occasion. The Faculty gave the Training Class and the Home Economics Girls a picnic in Clinton Circle, which gave them the opportunity, which was greatly appreciated, of becoming better acquainted with the Faculty members and their wives. A few excursions are planned to some historical places later in the spring. The following class officers were elected: Ralph L. Rowe, President; Alvina Thompson. Vice-President; Irma Bacus, Treasurer; Freda Dearstyne, Secretary. The Advisory Committee appointed to assist the officers consists of Miss Snyder, the Faculty Advisor, and Misses Leopoldine Propost and Geraldine Overbough.

I he course is indeed an excellent one for the young person being qualified by the successful completion of a four-year High School course and desiring to teach that he may earn while he is learning. The course as given by the State School prepares only for teaching in the rural school; one of the finest opportunities for a young person who desires to teach, as it presents the most difficult problems in education to-day. 1 he department is to be commended on having two capable instructors of wide experience. Miss Snyder has been a rural teacher, both in the cast, as well as in the west; a teacher in a city school and a rural supervisor; thus she can very ably instruct the class from her rich experience as she knows the needs and the problems of the rural community. Assisting her, is Miss Helen Burtless, also having taught in rural districts, who can give freely of her experience in helping the class to solve their problems and to give advice in the correct methods of teaching. Some of the outstanding points of the course this year are practice teaching in the elementary school in the village of Cobleskill; a physical training course, designed to cope with rural health problems in games and drills, also the class will go in the spring out into the rural districts for two weeks’ practice teaching. A few hikes have been taken by the Physical Education Class to favorable places for roasting hot dogs. In June the T. C. will hold a reunion of the former graduates for social and educational purposes. A program will be given in which all will take part. I his will depict some of the rural conditions. Thus we may become better acquainted with our brothers and sisters of the I raining Class family. Early in the year the class organized itself into a club for the purpose of assuming certain duties and carrying them out; such as social and routine responsibilities. One of the social activities was presented before the Agricultural Boys arrived, in the form of a Radio Dance, another in the form of a Poverty Hop ; one was given just before Christmas vacation suitable to the occasion. The Faculty gave the I raining Class and the Home Economics Girls a picnic in Clinton Circle, which gave them the opportunity, which was greatly appreciated, of becoming better acquainted with the Faculty members and their wives. A few excursions are planned to some historical places later in the spring. The following class officers were elected: Ralph L. Rowe, President; Alvina Thompson, Vice-President; Irma Bacus, Treasurer; Freda Dearstyne, Secretary. The Advisory Committee appointed to assist the officers consists of Miss Snyder, the Faculty Advisor, and Misses Leopoldine Propost and Geraldine Overbough. The Teachers’ Training Department is one of the divisions of which the school can be justly proud this year. RALPH ROWE, Pres. T. C.

A business session and election of officers in the evening was followed by an enjoyable banquet in the school cafeteria. Forty-three former students were present with 24 guests. The orchestra played during the banquet and later, speeches were made by L. W. Crittenden, E. H. I Iodder and H. B.

The VOICE Page E igh t tj-Niv c I - The New York State School of Agriculture at Cobleskill Opened in 1916 with eight students in attendance, coming from three counties. Rut during the past year, 1924-1925, there was an enrollment of 107, coming from twenty-three counties. T he school is growing because it has performed a definite and needed service to the public. If the training offered by the school was a good thing for 107 young people last year, then that same training would be a benefit to the many others who failed to take advantage of the opportunity.
