V., 27 pieces of raw material from diUVrcnt sections of tin Stall , which were to he tried, and if found to contain the required ingredients would lie made into a product of very high standing for immediate and constant use on the market. l’pon their arrival, the first process was that of bringing these minerals down to one class and placing them where they belonged. 'This was done very well by the Main Cogs of the plant on the evening of November 31, 1925, at the village green, where a thorough rolling in the mud and scrubbing in the creek was administered. Then came the slow work of refining, taking out the undesirable dross in the material, and replacing knowledge and sense to strengthen this Ore, for the next step which was characterizing and shaping this material. Hefore this could he done, they had to have a summer’s seasoning out in the wind and weather, to make them more strong and sturdy to stand the next operation. In the fall of ’2 ) we came back to continue our process, and were shaped into a machine of great power and ability, and once more sent out under closer observation to see whether we could stand the strain of hard work. After six months of this, we again returned and found some other unfinished products from other plants that did not have the machinery to finish, hut were sent here to receive tin- last touches that were required, and then given their certificate and guarantee from the New York Stale School of Agriculture. Hefore closing this short chronicle of the (-lass of ’27, all machines require improvements, new parts must Ik replaced, and so some of us took the place of the old Main Cog (Student Council) and other parts, namely, the Huskct-ball squad and a number of other organizations in the school which needed mending.

T II K V () I C K •t Class Poem When first we came, flu- building looked to us so cold and grim; And we were shy Until we heard a song, thought first it was a hymn, Alma Mater on high. When first we came, we just forgot the name, remembered nothing hut. tin face Of each new kid. We strove to please our teachers, we tried to run the race, We hope we did. When winter came and there were many games with other schools; We called it fun. We had good teams and they obeyed the rules, n • • That's why they won. Now it's time to sav farewell to all we hold most dear, And we are sad, Hut we will enter life prepared, because we studied here; And we are glad. Kadi of our class in this wide world will find his place, For that is life. Kach chose his special goal and tried to keep the pace In this world’s strife. But when we leave these grand old halls; For that’s our fate, We’ll all remember to return withal At no late date. Then here’s to the town, the churches and the preachers The one word we say witll a sigh Here’s to our school, our friends, and our teachers We wish them God speed and Good-bye. C. K. H., 27 2(»
