Mow slowly she seemed to approach. Ii did seem slow, hut in reality she was traveling very rapidly towards us. Xow she is u|m ii us l eckoning us unto her. At one time we wondered why she did not come and take us; hut now as she beckons, we realize how unworthy of her we are. We even dare to wonder why we are beckoned. W e are not only beckoned, hut she has overtaken us, and we must go. The vision we once had has become a reality. Our sojourn here is ended, and as we look back over our school years, we feel that our slay has been all too brief. We feel joyous because we have accomplished a task -have furthered our Agricultural. Home Making or Teacher Training education. W'e experience sorrow and regret because we are leaving behind our happy school 'life; we are bewildered by the different life we are about to begin. The happy times at Stale School, the pleasant friendships made, in fact all the bright sj ots of our life on the Mill, recur to us as we cast our last glance backward into the past. riven the trials and troubles we have endured seem worth while and we can laugh at the pranks of our ITcshmcn days and realize the services that our teachers have rendered us. We hold a reverenced s| ot for each one in our hearts, and hope that thc regard the C lass of 1928 with some degree of kindness. Life faces us; the great world awaits around the corner with something for every one. The professions, vocations, or avocations we have planned lie open to us, holding out to each one equal opportunities for success. Let us grasp these opportunities and strive to follow high ideals and to help humanity. Hereafter, our paths lie apart, but they will no doubt often cross one another in the course of time. In parting, we of the Voice Staff, wish to thank each and every one of you for aiding us in making this Voter; Annual and the other issues of the Voick so successful. Our one desire was to maintain and raise if possible the high standards set by Voice Staffs in the past. To the incoming staff, the only word we can say is “Carry On.” The Class of 1928 bids the New York State School of Agriculture “Adieu,” and wishes good luck to all. Twenty SENIORS History of the Senior Class The Senior ( lass of 1928 started ils long journey over the path of State School life in the fall of 1925. with eighteen names on the roll. The class officers in the Freshman year were: President, Perry Kathhun; Vice-President. W illiam I lesson; Treasurer, Joe I’m plchy; Secretary, Nonnay dray. During the first year the Freshmen gave a dance and participated in a Junior-Freshman farewell dance. The mcmliers of the class were also active in the Radio C lub. Feather Club. Voice, Fraternities. and Class llasketball. The membership of the class in the Junior year was increased by girls who were entered as two year students in the Teachei Training and by the lx ys who were entered as two year students in Agriculture. The class officers this year were: President, Arthur Cock row; Vice-President, Ruth McDiilTec; Secretary, Kvelyn McDulTee; Treasurer. Norman dray. The memliers of the class were active in many school organizations. Ily the fall of '27 our munlier was increased to fifty-four, 'flu officers of the previous year were re-elected. I he one important event was the activity in the “ Rush that was held on Nov. 5th. The class felt very deeply the loss of one member. W illiam I lesson, who left our midst during the first term of this year. In January, forty-one new members were added to our class from the one year Teacher Training Class. Nome Flcoiiomic Department. and one year Agriculture, making ninety-seven members in the Senior Class for graduation. On March 17th, members of the Senior Class gave a play entitled. “The Path Across the Hill.” ()ur journey over this trail is complete. W e feel that this has been a journev well worth making, and now we shall continue in paths more widely separated, but still holding dear the memories of the life on the 11 ill I.. M.

Sends forth a soft ray of colors, as if loathe to end the strife; This moment, this last fleeting glimmer, is the most precious of •' So we who are going onward, arc taking a fleeting glance; We. too, arc loathe to go out.—out to the World’s wide ways. To leave our Alma Mater, our friends, this town enhanced. ()f these we have sweet memories to cherish through our days. We came in quest of knowledge, we did not seek in vain ; We strived, we studied earnestly, we hoj c we did not fail.— Hut yet as we go onward, understanding seems to wane. And we must seek it ever, as l mcelot’s Holy Grail. Farewell each worthy teacher; farewell each old schoolmate,— We must go on still onward, to find our place amongst men; We leave our Alma Mater, with sadness to abate, For though we now depart.

A. will hold (heir annual alumni banquet and dance Friday evening, March .50. 19.56. at 6.30 at Hotel Augustan, Cobleskill, r. Y.” •Such was the content of my Monday mail, i was informed that I was to he on the reception committee; so I prepared to do my duty. And thus it happened that I was among the first to arrive. It seemed good to meet the other three who were on the committee and to talk to them before things began to happen. Joe Umpleby was the first of the committee whom I saw. Joe told me that he is now a professor of horscology in a University of which John W est is the dean, h’rom all reports of his lalxiratory research we find Joe still pursuing the question, “ Does a horse eat cheese?” Then I’lossy Pinkie came. I certainly was surprised to hear that Plossy was now director of “ Finglc’s Famous Dancing Academy for Young Men.” So that was what Flossy had in the hack of her mind when we danced noons in the assembly hall. The last member of the reception committee to come was Horace Ixxrk-wood. Horace had accumulated untold wealth in the sale of his latest book, “Oswald’s Error” Suddenly our conversation was interrupted by the first arrival, our old friend Lewis A! eI. He had just returned from Greece where lie had entered the Olympic games with his Dort. But fate was cruel to I-ewis and he did not win prolxihly because he didn’t have Art Petersen along to edge him on. But Art was safe at home slaving at his work of crossing carrier pigeons with parrots so that when they got lost they could ask their way home. Then Art Manner entered with a lady on his arm. fSomc muscle!) He introduced his wife and to my surprise she was Freida Koralxlmk. So the frat pin did mean something. Why did you deny it. Freddy? Suddenly some one shouted “Here’s the orchestra! and in filed Turk's Traveling Troubadors ” who have won fame through their weekly programs over the radio from station F. O. B. You all remember that station F. O. B. was started by Forrest Norton. We knew some good would come of the Radio Club. As this famous orchestra streamed past, I was quite proud to think that I knew so many of them. There was Stan DuMond and Hazel Sharp. Jas| cr Malloch and Dorothy Ward. Lureah Turk with Charles Turtelotte and Glen Beck. Just then I was called away from the crowd to go to the kitchen in order to taste the soup for the banquet. Imagine my surprise when I found the Cox j-orlysix sisters, Martha and Rtta. quarreling over the amount of seasoning. So they still quarrel. However, Miss Miller did a good joh for the soup proved to he good. While I was out in the kitchen, the rest of the crowd arrived, lust as I came in, I saw them starting for the dining room so I joined them. I was fortunate enough to sit In-side two whom I hadn’t had a chance to see before that evening Pearl llillisand Dot Steadman. Pearl told me that she hadn’t found teaching to he so fascinating as she had expected so she had decided to settle down with her husband. I )id I say Dot Steadman sat beside me? Yes. it was Dot, hut not Steadman. She too. had taken the fatal step. The temptation was too great. Glancing down the table whom should 1 sec hut Helen and I.enh Rockwell I supposed they came in their little h'ord Car just as they used to at . Y. S. S. A I later learned, however, that their Ford days had ceased to he since they had married Ralph I.vman and Harold Williams, the Cadillac kings. Rut alas! Elsie Fero was not with them, as of old. Instead she was with her dancing partner. Richmond Daniels. They had long since become | opular after their ninth season in the Zicglield Follies where Kathleen Drumm played their accompaniment. Further on down the table 1 saw quite a natural sight: Thresa Shoemaker and Ethel Wilson, together. I wondered how they had managed to come, for 1 learned some time ago that they were running a Hoarding house for State School hoys. Ethel must have gotten her training at Bortcl’s. At this time we were served with the most delicious chicken patties. When f remarked how good they were Gilbert llugnhoom spoke up and said that the chickens had conic from his farm. So Gilbert did succeed in having his chicken farm after all. Behind me I heard some one talking as if she were angry. I inning around T saw Betty Vrooman raining showers of blessing on (he man next to her. who had been so unfortunate as to have used the wrong fork. He dicln t seem to mind, however. Yes, it was Wade. 1 guess he got used to Betty s scolding at N. Y. S. S. A. At once, I was aroused from my musings by the waiter humping me as he passed. T turned to glare at him hut changed my mind when I discovered that it was Benjamin Morehouse, lie told me that he had l ccn time some time with Henry. He pointed out Henry at the further end of d,c dining r‘K ,n- Directly after eating, the toastmaster arose. I thought recognized that drawl. Yes, it sure was Gordon Mitchell. So Gordon had £on ‘ n ” r l’K, 1ic speaking. He always did like to talk. The first one he introduced was Kate Stilson. Despite Jimmie’s earnest picas, Kate had decided to «nj° ’ blessedness. She talked about “ Emancipated Women,” and thoroughly won her audience. Forty-seven Then followed one of the most interesting debates between Hilly Kurkc and Helen Karnes, the long and short of it. Helen maintained that it was letter to be tall while Killy debated for a short stature. We all voted as to which had the better arguments and would have decided the question for all times had it not been for I’ersis Griswold. Naturally she wanted to vote for short folks. Art Lockrow, her husband, favors the tall ones. That was where the difficulty came in. IVrsis made him vote her way. thus causing a tie. The question probably will never Ik settled. Kuck next introduced Mrs. Margaret Gray, nee K. Margaret Krown. IVg has at last decided she cares more for grey than brown. Her talk reminded me of our old “ Dorm” days and our heated discussions as to “'Hie best ways to train a husband.” for that was her topic. Poor Norm surely looked as if he had been trained and when spoken to. merely answered. “ Yes, dear.” The last speaker was none other than our old classmate. Kullnnaric Krad-sliaw. Would you believe it? Ruth soon married but is heading the Ami-Saloon League in Schoharie County. She told us of the “Wayward Youth” of to-day. Ky her speech. I fear that Ruth has forgotten how things were done at X. Y. S. S. A. of which she was no mean part. At the close of the speeches. Rose Johnson arose and announced that she had a small gift for all if they would remain a moment. “Come on there, Smitty. get going.” shouted Rose and whom should we see stagger to his feet under a great burden of books, but Clifford Smith. While he was passing out the hooks. Rose told us that two years after she left school that she had chanced to meet Smitty on the street in New York. They renewed their acquaintance and after a week’s rushing our Rosie consented to he Mrs. Smith, living relieved of the resjKmsibility of earning a living, she has developed her talent for writing, and now she was giving us each a copy of her poems, autographed. As we rose to go. 1 saw a girl on crutches. Not remembering any girl in our class who went on crutches, I inquired who she was. It was ICllen Kork-strom. Again, hate had been cruel. During her last attempt to swim the Channel, she was doing the scissors stroke, and accidentally cut one leg off. As there was to he dancing in the dining room, we retiret 1 to the living room while the waiters cleared the floor. On the way out 1 felt some one touch me on the shoulder. Turning around, I saw Dot Kouck,—still the same old Dot. She astounded me bv telling me that she was matron of an insane asylum for old men. at Utica. I sure was sorry to learn that her latest inmate was our old friend George Kates. It seems that after his forty-seventh proposal to Martha Kouchard, she told him. “No. tune out. I’m sick of your static.” Mis ix« r mind, already weakened by the strain, gave way all together and now. day after day George rages in his padded cell. Martha, you should he more careful next time. h'orly-ciyhl The first one I encountered as I entered the living room was Ruth MeDufTcc. Ruth told me that she has nearly jierfectod her new invention—a more comfortable can for sardines. She must have received the idea when on one of her numerous rides with Jimmie. 1 had hoped to see Lena Shafer there since she was one of the ones that 1 hadn’t seen since graduation. 1 was told, however, that l-cna had planned to come, hut at the last minute I 'ill. Jr. had colic and demanded her attention, most lustily. What price glory ! We thought that all that were coming were there hut when we saw Johnnie Hall walk in at this moment we knew that we had l eeii mistaken. Johnnie was late for the banquet but on time for the dance, lie explained his tardiness, however. The roads out I'My Creek way were almost impassable. Imt Barbara had insisted on coming so of course there was nothing else to do hut come. It was quite evident that Bobby still had her own way, at least as far as Johnnie was concerned. Suddenly wc heard strains of music and were overjoyed when we learned that Mile. Helene LaGuardia was going to sing for us. Since her graduation Helene had startled all Kurope by her beautiful voice. I’m sure she got her start in Assembly under Mr. Day’s guidance. Now, she takes high C just like a cough drop. Soon after she finished we were told that they had begun to dance. Sure enough we could hear the orchestra’s jazzmodic strains floating in to ns. As I entered the room, I glanced to see who the patrons and patronesses were, for I wanted to speak to them. Mhe first one I recognized was Dorothy Wood. I wondered what Dolly could Ik doing now; that she was one of the patronesses. Would you believe it? She has taken Miss MacDonald's place at State School. I found later in the evening, however, that she wasn’t to remain much longer in that cajiacity, due to her engagement to Charlie Carden, a prosperous young farmer of Schuylcrvillc. M'he next one I saw was our old friend Mabel Hone. I thought she looked pretty husky for Mallei and when I inquired what brand of breakfast food she was eating to put her in such line condition, she replied. “ Well, ever since I have been teaching I . T. in Miss Toulson's place up at State School, it seems to agree with me. So Mabel practices what she preaches. Do you remember that talk she gave in Chapel? The next two in line rose together so I knew that they must have come together. Yes, it was Irene Berry and Jessie Abell. Unlike many of the others in their class they had continued to he teachers. At present they have a very select school for girls at Warnervillc. The last one, I failed to recognize until Irene and Jessie said, “ You remember Dayton Dickenson, don’t you?” Could it be? In answer to my inquiries Forty-nine Dick told me that lie had l ecn living one hectic life the last few years, lie has just succeeded in getting a divorce from his second wife, Lena Packlcr. It seems Lena ceased to Ik- the devoted little thing she was at first. 11 is tirst wife, Madeline Sutlifif, had startled him only a few year Ik:fore hy going to Reno and getting a divorce on the grounds that he liked wine, women and song, hut he didn’t sing much. Dick declares that he will never marry again although another of our old classmates. Ruth Trigg, is seen with him a great deal. Perhaps though her wealth has something to do with it. Ruth has become famously rich playing the horses. Glancing across the room I saw three familiar faces and it reminded me of roll call up at dear old State School, Seeley, Seeley, Seeley, for there were Anna. Irving and Mary. Unable to Ik separated Irving had found a three-room school at Iktllston Spa where the three Seeleys reigned supreme. Suddenly all eyes were turned to one couple on the floor, a well known actress and her leading man. Yes, it was Irene DiLallo and Dick (.aGuardia now making “Co-ed.” All I) road way was charmed hy the cleverness of such a young actor and actress. As it so happens we were blessed with celebrities that evening. We even had a representative of the government in the form of Jay Phillips. It must he that Jay still hates the women localise in the Senate the other day he was rcs|M n-siblc for a hill compelling all women to get up and get their husband's breakfasts in the morning. Jay, how could you Ik so mean? As the music stop|K d, I spied another familiar face. Alice Sedgwick rose to announce that the next dance would Ik a novelty dance. To the l est dancers on the floor there would Ik a prize offered hy the Pontiac Theatre of which Miss Sedgwick was manager. Scdgic must have had an inspiration when she was in the Senior play. Interest in the dance was shown at once and all set out to win that prize. It was a hard matter to decide. In fact Alice was at a loss to know whom' to choose so she called upon two others to help her, Marion Petersen and Beverly Whitley. I sup| osc she thought they were well able to do it since they had lx th been movie critics for over a year. After much debating, the judges decided ujkjii yes, you guessed it—Margaret Brown and John Tauzcl. They were, presented with a loving cup and consented to do the Varsity Drag as an exhibition of their dancing. It was this tliat caused a big commotion. When Ruth Bailey saw this she stoutly declared that she could dance just as well hut that she hadn’t been fortunate enough to have a good partner. She was so insistent that Sedgic consented to give a second loving cup for the best dancers in the next dance. For the sake of |K ace it was awarded to Ruth and her partner George Turner. Ruth was so pleased that she proposed to George right there on the spot and he accepted. fifty At the farther cud of the room. I saw a person with a small pad and pencil. I wondered why one would want a pad at a dance so I sauntered over. It was Isabel Utter jotting down a few notes. Isabel is now social reporter for the “Coblcskill Index” and she didn’t want to forget any point. It was very important that she get them all liecause she confidently told me that Marguerite Weeks, her rival and rc| ortcr for the “ Times ” was also there for news. During intermission I had quite a chance to talk with several that I hadn't seen before. I hardly exjxrcted that I’crry Rathhun would remember me since he had become the great oil magnate that he had. I had quite an interesting chat with him and he told me all about his numerous oil wells in Texas. Then I was surprised to see Mabel Ottman and5 I .aura Snyder there. I didn’t know that they had returned from their latest trip to the South I'ole. They are now contemplating on a way of going to Mars. ()f all the creations exhibited there that evening, the dresses worn by Ivvelyn and Madalyn McDufTec were the most startling. When I remarked on their beauty, Kvclyn told me that she was a designer in a smart New York shop| c while Madalyn was a mannequin at the same place. Their clothes sjx ke well for the place, so girls there's your chance. Sitting wav lfcick in the corner, I saw two who weren’t entering into things much. When I reached them, I saw that it was Irene llcllengcr and Marion Fox. Irene told me that she had Income a nurse and was at present taking care of Marion who had1 just suffered a period of nervous exhaustion after her long period of study on the question, “ Why docs a worm turn?” Noticing a crowd in the center of the lloor, my curiosity got the liettcr of me and 1 went over. In the center of the group stood Thelma Itrown. Thelma is now an artist and was just telling those about her that she was stopping at the Augustan for a few days. As she had several of her paintings with her she would he more than glad to show them to any who cared to see them. Among them was her latest portrait of Catherine Hughes, now famous for her contribution of jokes to the College Humor. Rose Martell was the next one that I spied. She interested me greatly in her newest discovery. She is certain that there are inhabitants on the Moon for she says that she has Ixrcn in communication with them. She is soon to he shot through space to the moon. We do ho] e she comes back. Louise Court came up just then and started telling me aliout her non-stop flight which she is about to make. She will attempt to fly around the world between dawn and darkness. Who would ever have thought back in 1928 that J-ouise would have taken up aviation? Feeling a touch on my shoulder. I turned to see Florence Griffin. After greetings were over, and we exchanged news, 1 learned that Florence is now a Fifty-one basketball coach at Emma Willard School for Girls. If they all do as well as Florence did in her State School days. I’m sure that she must have some team. Just before the music started Janet Neer and Marion Pyrites, now owners of the Augustan, told us how honored they were to have us as their guests and hoj)ed that we would hold our next Alumni I banquet there. Shortly after the music started again, Dot Curley came to me to say that she was leaving and had had a lovely time. Really. I couldn’t see why she should leave so early but she told me that I are wouldn’t ever know what to do if Junior woke up and she must hurry home to them. As the strains of “Home, Sweet Home” Itecamc audible Charlie Parsons and Leona Winchell were the first on the floor. Everyone watched them intently. Since they have been in Keith vaudeville they dance very well together and it is a pleasure to sec them. Among the crowd I also spied Delphine Swatling and George Decker. Decker never was meant to lx a farmer and it is well he did not follow that work else he would never have become the wealthy banker that he now is. I guess that that factor is in the back of Del’s mind too, since they are now seen together too much to avoid gossip. As the last guest left that night and the whole affair Ixcame but a memory, J searched my mind for one that I had not seen but there was none. 1 had seen them all. Will the Alumni Panquct in 19 15 bring alnmt as many changes in all the members of the ( lass of 1928 as it did in 1935? II. K., J. H., M. W. pifty-two Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1928 Wc. the Senior Class of the New York State School of Agriculture, being sound of mind and body, and considering the uncertainty of life, do therefore make, ordain, publish, and declare this, to he our l-ast Will and Testament: That is to sav, first, after all our lawful debts are paid and discharged: secondly, after due thought and consideration, do hereby give: 1.

Besides these gifts, we leave with our own free will, our blessing and tender memories of those pleasant associations together. We, the Class of 1928, do appoint tank Collycr as sole executor of this, our last will and testament. Signed and sealed the third day of April in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and twenty-eight. Tin- Class ok 1928 Fifty-four Junior Class Notes Another year at State School lias quickly passed, ami looking hack we arc able to give an account of ourselves. It was the 4th of October, hack in 1926, that a very gVcen looking hunch of Freshmen, forty-three in number, straggled up State School Hill for the first time. However, we were not as green as we looked, as shown in the Annual Frosh-Upperclassmen Rush. Besides supplying eight of our number for the basketball squad, we were able to win first place in the Interclass League. Coming back to school last fall, after enjoying the lienciits of a hard summer’s labor, we organized as Juniors with President, Henry Robinson; Vice-President, Paul Chase; Secretary, Archibald Lawson; and Treasurer, William Horthwick. Again we proved our worth in another I 'rosh-Upperclassmen Rush and also supplying live men to the squad. After the mid-year, we reorganized, due to the numlier of two year “Ag men and two year training class girls entering our class. For this semester, we chose Paul Chase. President; Olda Ottman, Vice-President; Charlotte Dean, Secretary; and Carl ICaston. Treasurer. On February lltli, the class held a Valentine’s Party in Frisbic Hall, for the faculty and students of State School. Fveryone present enjoyed the games and dancing. In the inter-class games, while not being as successful as last year, we did our liest and are glad that the lxrst team won. After another summer, we Iiojjc to he able to come back to school to he one of the best Senior Classes that this institution has ever known and we also hope for the most successful year of the school in its history. We extend to everyone connected in any way with State School, the Inst of our good wishes for happy months and years ahead, wherever they may he. H. S. R., ’29 Fifty-seven Freshman Class Notes It was on October 4th, PJ27, with October's bright blue weather.” that the New York Stale School of Agriculture at Cobleskill, broke all records of her history. For the lirst time 4‘) li'rcshmcu came tip the long hill to State School. 'Pile most of them came with a spirit of determination to conquer their aim. After two weeks of farm practice and mingling with one another, we liegau a little organization. During this time we were alone without any Up| erclassmen. At our first meeting we organized and elected our lirst officers: President. Carlton Coutant; Vice-President, C atherine Lang; Treasurer. Carl Griessel; Secretary, Olda Oilman. The time was rapidly approaching for the Frosh-Upperclassmen Kush. Of course this did not worry us because we were strong and brave, also outnumbered the Upperclassmen. The time came at last and we came out with exceedingly good success. Along with this came the Student Council which didn’t alTcct the most of us. Ye soon had a Frosh party, where all of us enjoyed ourselves. On December 10th we held a dance which turned out to be both a social and financial success. We were somewhat belated in getting organized for basketball bv the lack of suits. After several months of practice., however, ten strong and vigorous fellows were chosen for the squad. Then came the class games in which we were eager to win. By February we had won the tournament. “ Where there is a will there is a way. Several of our members joined the several clubs and organizations on the hill. After the mid-year examinations many of our members became Juniors and Seniors, thereby leaving our ranks depleted. At our first class meeting in January new officers were elected: President. Carl Clricssel: Vice President. Irving Hedges; Secretary. Kdward McClellan; Treasurer, Warren Maxoii; h’rosh Notes, Foster I lapeman, as well as member of the Student Council. Phis finishes the activities of the Freshman Class. We hope that in our Junior and Senior years we shall he better organized as a class. We hope that when we leave this institution, we may benefit from its teachings. Before closing, we as a class, wish to thank Miss Toulson and Mr. Gregory for their support in our class activities as well as Director Crittenden and others of the school who have aided us. F. D. II., ’30 Sixty-one ORGANIZATIONS Boys' Student Council The Hoys' Student Council was organized ns .soon as the classes were allowed t � elect tluir representatives to the Council. The Seniors elected Bates, jYortun, Hall. Lynam. and Loekrow. The Juniors chose Bobinson, Dievendorf, and Jaycox. Later in the term Gricssel was elected from the hrcslnnen Class. The officers of the Council for the first term were: I’resident, hnrkrow; secretary. Robinson. During the first part of the term the Council were real active, aiding the Krcshmcn to learn the I'roslt Rules and making Tans for the (lass Bush which was held November Stli. When tlu second term liegan. a new Council was chosen, 'Yoin the Seniors: Peterson, Abel, IIall. Williams. and hn-krow. h'rmn the Juniors: Baronian. Horthwick, and Robinson: and from the Freshmen: Vanderear. hot his stay was short, as lie became a fraternity man and the t uofa of fraternity men on the C ouncil had been filled. Ilapeman was chosen to lilt the vacancy. I he same officers were re-elected. This term the Council lias been rather inactive. Other school activities seems to have called them on Wednesday afternoons. They did their best anti it is hoped future Councils may have as successful a year as they have had. Sixty-five Qiris’ Student Council In September the girls returned again to the School on the Mill for their last year. For two happy weeks they renewed ac |uaintances. and made new ones; for they were under no restrictions and every night the movies, park, and ice cream parlors sent an answered call to the various devotees of Stale School. The Seniors took advantage of this, for they knew that soon the mighty Student Council would he in charge of all their leisure time. So according to the rumors, the girls met on Septeml er 21st and elected the following representatives as members of the Student Council: President, Lydia Ingalls; vice-president. Marian VVinney; secretary. Louise Court: and Margaret Drown. Olda Oilman, Isabel Utter, Mabel I lone. Fllen Rorkstrom, alternative. After a semester of earnest work, this council was disbanded and a new one organized on January 25th: President, Florence CirilVen; vice-president, I’.arbara Pierson; secretary, Pcrsis Griswold: and Mary Ackner. Alice Moore. Dorothy Curley, Dorothy Steadman. The Girls' Student Council has formed an important part of State School for three successful years. It was organized in 1925 and at that time the members of the Council were chosen from the following groups: live days students, seven day students, and commuters. In 1926 the grouping was revised, and representatives were chosen from the following groups: Seniors, first-year students of the two-year course, one-year students. 'I bis classification was again used in 1927. It is fell that the Student Council forms an integral part of the State School life. The representatives on the Council are chosen as worthy of the highest honor that the students can l eslow. that they have proved to Ik so, is due to the cooperation and trust of the student lxxly. “ Long reign Student Council.” Sixty-seven The Orchestra The orchestra has been very fortunate because its members have been numerous and a fine variety of instruments have been played by them. Our outstanding success is not only due to this but the student body has backed us with their applause and appreciation for our music. 'The orchestra has provided music three times each week for assembly marches and entertaining selections as well. We had the misfortune of losing one of this group in Novcmltcr, when Norma Saile was compelled to return home localise of illness. ( ur Short Course, however, presented us with two other musicians which brought the number of players up to fourteen. We credit our success not only to the support of the students but also to our musical director, Mr. Teed, who has carefully directed us and faithfully guided our proceedings throughout the year. The orchestra is composed of the following: Mu. Tkku. Musical Director am! ( onict Lainsi,av Samkk, Solo I'iolin IIa .ici.

Due to other school activities it was unable to hold regular meetings. In December the mcml ers of the Club gave a very interesting program in Assembly; and on March 8th and 9th held a benefit picture at the Dark Theatre, which proved a great success. The members of the Club have purchased the parts and assembled a one-tube dry cell set this year. With this one and the one constructed last year (a four-tube Drowning-Drake), the Club is now very well equipped with radio apparatus for the coming year. The officers and members for the year are as follows; Caki.ton Colt a. 't . . . . . . President Arthur 11 an nick . . . .

At Christmas lime we rallied our usual goose. Martha Bouchard was the winner and as a result possessed a goose for Thanksgiving.

Shortly after a young | co| lc s degree team was organized. After weeks of practicing a drill and the degree work the Team made its debut in the Grange. At this meeting on Pcbruary 12. 1927 it initiated about forty students into the first and second degrees. )n March 4 it again assisted in the degree work and that special class became full Hedged members. At this time the Degree Team consisted of: Langley Collyer I‘‘or rest Norton Kvelyn McDulTcc Stanley DuMond Arthur Manner Pcrsis Griswold Merman Picard Selina Punkell llazel Sharp Ixronard llagar Alice Chesbro Kvelyn Munroc In the fall of 1927 when school activities were under full sway the Degree 'learn again assumed its work. It was not the same team, as it had lost the following members who had graduated: Herman Picard. Kvelyn Munroe, Alice Chesbro. Selina Kunkel. After more practice the new team went to Jefferson on November 12 where after greatly enjoying an oystc.r supper it presented a drill and worked the first two degrees. A week later it did the same at State School. On December 2nd it finished initiating at State School. The Pomona Grange meeting was held here on December 7 at which time the team put on both drills. This time the team was composed of: Langley Collyer I'orrest Norton Per.sis Griswold William W heeler Newton W iley Kvelyn llodgdon Clifford Smith Dorothy Houck Kloreuce Pinkie Leonard llagar Kvelyn McDulTcc Puth Hradshaw Due to receiving invitations from other Granges to present drills it again took up its work. Some of its members Ixing in the Senior play it was necessary to form a new team again. This time the team learned a new drill and a tableau which was presented March 7. 1928 at Hreakabcen for Pomona Grange. Jvach member of the Degree Team has enjoyed the work very much and ho]K the Degree Team will be continued. It regrets that it was not able to accept the many invitations which it received from other Granges. To the teams to follow it wishes success and many good times.

We returned to school last October with only four active members, namely “ Hill ” Porthwick, “ Dip ” Chase, “ Dievie ” Dievendorf, and “ Prute ” Kathhun; we had the misfortune to lose a valuable member by the sad death of “ Bill ” I lesson, at file end of the year, however, wc were able to number fourteen brothers. The new members to join were “Sid ” Sidney, “Jav” Phillips, “ Tit-man” lliglcy, “Hank” Robinson. “Ed” McClellan. “Bus” Hedges, Ernie ” Newell. “ Len ” Palmer. “Ottie ” Ecugman and “Adel” Parsons. This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of Pi Phi Kratcrnity, the Annual Convention to be held in Rochester, the city where, it was founded. Every effort is being made to have fifty active chapters by the time of the convention in June. The fraternity has taken an active part in the institutions of the school, having seven brothers on the basketball squad, three being varsity men, and four brothers on the Voice Staff. Our faculty advisor. Mr. Wheeler, being unfortunate enough to be taken ill at the beginning of the school year, the fraternity has been without an active advisor. Our “ Rush Banquet” was held at Bortcl’s on December 7th. also having a theatre party the same night. After the banquet, very interesting talks were given bv Director Crittenden and Pro. Darsce. The annual novelty dance was held on March 10th. after the second alumni game, it being as successful as the events of former years. As this may be the last time that we may he together, some following different paths in life, others continuing their education here or higher up, we under the bonds, hope for the best and extend best wishes for the welfare of the students, faculty, and Dear Old State School in the years to come.

This year the fraternity began the year’s work with twice that iiiiiuIkt. During the first term live new members entered as brothers of Kpsilon: Lynam. Malloch. Daniels. Bylcs, and Lockwood. One of the first events of the season was the Grand Council Meeting at Delhi on November 18th and 19th. To this convention four delegates were chosen from Kpsilon: DuMond. Collyer, llagar. and T.ockrow. Several other fraternity men accompanied them, and all brought back many new ideas for a better fraternity. On Saturday night, the 19th. the members who had journeyed to Delhi, returned and with them were several Theta Gamma men from Morris-villc. These brothers remained overnight at Cobleskill to attend the Kpsilon Chapter Annual Dance held in Krisbic Mali. The dance was a great success lx th from the. financial as well as the social standpoint. Through the untiring efforts of our brother, Langley Collyer. Kpsilon is indebted for the wonderful I'rat Room which it is now privileged to enjoy. A Krat Room had long Ixrn needed by Epsilon and after having secured permission from Director Crittenden, the memliers with the aid of a little outside help, built a room of considerable size on the third floor of Krisbic Hall. On January 10th the fraternity had the opportunity of using the room for the first time. As is Epsilon’s usual custom, on January 15th. the members attended the Methodist Church in a body, in commemoration of Koundcr’s Day, January 16, 1923. Reverend Mr. liagadorn expressed to the fraternity a few appropriate remarks that were appreciated by all. On December 20th, with the idea of entertaining prospective brothers, a “ Rush Banquet ” was held in the Community Hall at 1-awyersville. The Ixmquet was ably catered by Brother and Mrs. Day. assisted by a corps of Epsilon brothers. Everyone enjoyed a good time and departed with the excellent remarks of Mr. R. (I. I.conard. Of the score or so of guests present. Epsilon was enabled to secure ten of them as brothers. Subsequent to this banquet these same pros| ccts were entertained by being invited to attend a play given at the Cobleskill High School a week before. During the second term serial new brothers were added to the Bonds so that now the roster contains thirty-one names. The new brothers were: Binck, Gricsscl, Easton, Griswold, Maxon, Kukan, Gout ant, Decker, and Vandcrcar. Eighly-lhrce The last event of the season will be the Annual Theta Gamma Banquet to be held on the evening of March 31st. In the past it has been a time of farewell and good cheer and so it is being anticipated. During the years at State School many new friendships are created, but at last comes a time when some of these friendships momentarily cease, to be taken up again “Out in Life.” The parting time is always regretted, but that regret is turned into gladness when it is known that some of our brothers arc entering the race of “ deeds to better mankind.” And so it is with sorrow and gladness, too, that Kpsilon speeds on to a great “Commencement” some of its brothers: DtiMond, Lockrow, Collyer, Hall, 11 aimer. Gray, Smith. Lynam, Malloch, Daniels, Williams, Norton. Decker, and Lockwood. It is hoped that those who remain will “carry on ” and keep up the traditions of Kpsilon of Theta Gamma as they have Ixjcii fostered in the past; and that the general welfare of the New York State School of Agriculture will ever be uppermost in their words and actions. Eighty-four BASKETBALL THIS VARSITY TICAM Basketball Another season of Basketball is coming to a close, and although we were not in the 'Iri-County League this year, and Prof. Wheeler, our coach, wad unable to he with us, due to sickness, we have had a good schedule and a very successful year. Director Crittenden, who has coached in Prof. Wheeler’s place, must be commended highly for the fine team which he finally worked up and for the interest which he has given us. Now dial the season is nearly over and six of the Varsity arc graduating, we wish to thank Director Crittenden very much and to Prof. Wheeler and his team we wish the best of luck and success for the coining years.

This year we have had a Secoiul Team which was very capable of doing both. Now that this season is nearly over and six of the Varsity arc graduating ii looks as if it was largely up to the Secoiul Team of this year to be the Varsity of next. .S'nunitary of Second Team Caines Date 'leant Flayed IM - S.S.

IVC outdo them in everything, liven in taking them out. There is one exception— The girls can outtalk us Hut . ven at that we get talked to. the most: Attend assembly and find out. On the I lill, onr group is the one from which most of the organizations arc formed. They may be few in number hut there are enough to occupy some of our spare time, advantageously. During this year, members of this group have taken several trips. The Juniors tested their skill at judging cattle on a couple of occasions. They also visited a poultry farm. A trip to Howe’s Cave where they saw the manufacture of cement was of interest. The Senior Poultry class have taken three or four short trips that were very lxMielicial. indeed. 'Hie Senior Iniys are anticipating the three or four day’s trip to l e taken after graduation. Our group also aided greatly in making I‘‘arm and Home Day a success. The Senior Kruit ( lass demonstrated to those present, what an easy task it is to construct a barrel. The Junior Livestock ( lass presented some well-fitted cattle in the Animal Kitting Contest, in which Donald Hill carried away the Sweepstake's Cup. The Senior Poultry Class presented some attractive looking birds in the Poultry Kitting Contest, of which Clifford Smith was the Sweepstake’s winner. A good year.” is the way in which we sum up this past year at State School. Some will rcmemlxT it as our last, some as our first, and still others as half way between, hut we will all remember it. Ninety-three Teacher Training Department Aliout the lirst of September, 1927. twenty-seven tired girls, worn out from their summer’s vacation. climbed the )ld State ScIvhiI Mill to begin their second year of study. I low proud we were to know that we were the lirst group to come hack for the second year course. I low happy we were to greet all our old pals, for it seemed ages since we had seen each other and we had so much to tell. Yet there was a little s|H t of sadness in our hearts, for we missed the girls who had been with us last year, and who were now teaching out in the big world. However, our minds were soon taken up in getting acquainted with lifty-cight new faces which appeared before us. Seven of these seemed especially interesting, as they belonged to the opjiosile sex. It did not take us long to get acquainted and become organized into one big family. W hat a family it was! Of course no organization can Ik successful without a bead, so the Misses MacDonald. 1 lodgdon, Tottlson and Seymour, our teachers, became our mothers,—the head of the family. The older girls in the family soon took the responsibility of caring for the younger children by indicting them with hreshmen Utiles.” Krom our family a group was chosen to carry on the government, known as the Girls’ Student C ouncil. It is needless to remind you of the social events, as I do not believe we will forget one of them, for example: the hikes, the faculty party, or Director Crittenden's party. In October when the Iniys arrived, several of the girls seemed to drift away from our group gatherings, into gatherings with those who were of more interest. Now our school year is about over. A large majority of our family will be leaving the Alma Mater to become teachers. As we go down the Mill the last day. it will not Ik as cheerfully as we came up. on those September days. We will never forget you “Alma Mater. nor will we forget all the friends we made within your walls, flood-bye, good-luck, God bless you all—till we meet again. K. J. S.. '28 Ninety-five N A Scene From Life Did you ever stop to think how delicate an operation is the painting of a picture? That one false sweep of the brush would spoil the scene—its characteristics, figures, color scheme, and the thought it | ortrays. The life of the Home Kcouoinics Department is comparable to a picture. Kach one of us must paint a scene for herself. Our pictures may become famous or not. just as the artist may choose. We must remember that only certain colors can Ik- used. If our life has been happy, and we have derived benefits from our course, here in school, the picture will Ik- highly colored and very attractive. iJright lined pictures speak only of the pleasant things of life. The habits and characteristics of the artist, and the ideals she lxdicvcs in. If our life has not been happy and cheerful, the picture will lie drab and will try to hide itself behind the bright colored one. If the |Kiinting is done carelessly or hurriedly, the picture will not look true to life, and anyone knowing the artist personally, will know that she has not done her best. Kach must strive to do her In-st and blend her colors so as to make a beautiful picture. Some have fallen by the wayside but the ones that have stood up and worked, have persevered and received the honor due them. f course if the talent to paint is lacking, no picture can result, but each has the chance to try and it is up to her. The habits that we form now at this age in our life, we will carry with us until we. pass into that great land beyond the horizon. We do not want the public to Ik disappointed in the picture we leave behind. They have heard of us and are very much interested in what we are doing up here in our colony. Many of them have called to see our pictures, although yet unfinished, and have been pleased with the canvases. Now we are ready to show our pictures to the public. Some may Ik- ashamed of theirs, but nevertheless they must all Ik exhibited. We want them all someday to hang in the “Art Gallery ' for our State School, and as we go out into the world we will continue our painting until the product is finished and worthy of the artist. 1C. Makoakkt Bkown Ninety-seven Alumni Notes Kacli year the Alumni of llie State School increases in numbers and with such increasing numbers it is almost impossible, in the limited time, to keep an accurate record of each graduate to an extent that it Would be appropriate to publish in this volume. This year no attempt to publish a record of the activities of different graduates will Ik- made. Suffice it to say that the State School has been visited by numerous Alumni during the past year and it is hoped that in the future more will trend their way back to their Alma Mater. The school tries to establish certain functions each year that will be an incentive, for the. Alumni to come hack to the “ Hill,” to renew old ties and no doubt create new ones. The President of the Alumni Association. Charles Frcc-hern. has teen noticed on the Hill ” many times of late, and from the rumors that arc floating around the Alumni llanquct and Dance are going to l e teller than ever this year. You can make such functions even more successful by being present yourself and by taking an active part in the business part of the program. The Voice Annual goes to press each Spring before these important events can Ik recorded. I his year it is being planned to edit a record of all Alumni and other School Functions in the last issue of the monthly Voice, and which will no doubt be published after the first of April. However, the Voice and State School wish all Alumni the best of success in tbe coining years and extend to you a cordial invitation to visit 11s at any time.
