Twenty-three Class Prophecy (Seated in the spacious living room, two alumni of N. Y. S. S. A., class of 1931, an discussing the various programs to In broadcast over the radio. One reads from the Cohlcskiil Index for April 2l� , 1911 I. Announcement: “. tation iN. Y. S. S. A. will broadcast at 7:00 o’clock, the present location of the members of the class of 1931. (The two alumni immediately tune in and hear the following program) : Lawrence Dean and Ellen Sperbcck have become one and are now living at Dean’s Oak Hill I'.stale near the Calskill Valley Flour Mills. Inc. Gilbert Jones and Olga Dovlian arc both teaching in the same school. They are seriously considering incorporating and starting a school under the name of Jones and family. Fdgar Kukuk and the former Florence Gregory, who always were eager to reform the Stale School Rules and Regulations will soon have their chance to do so, for they have been appointed Dean of Men and Dean of Women for the year of 1912. (iuy Myers is still single, and as we all know, during his latter days at State School he was Failing noticeably. We hope that he will soon recover for we would hale to lose him. Austin C. AI le has taken over his uncle’s Mohican Bus Line and now has a thriving business, carrying gangsters between the Diamond and the Capone estates. Melva Collilon has carried out her threat which she made at Stale School and has Dunn it. We hope that she will be very happy. Charles ScralTord is still undecided as to whether he jxrcfers to become a Gardner, as is the custom now, or a Baldwin. Katherine I1. Teale is running a thriving beauty parlor in Central Bridge, ( hosier Moore is one of her best paying customers. Donald Lowe has finally decided that fanning is more profitable than teaching. This is his present occupation. He has as his helpmate the former Olga Yannchuk. Klsie Spiegel berg is the Matron in an orphanage situated near her home in Buck- dale. Hilda Schooumaker, now Mrs. Waller Parks, is a very prominent figure in Cox-sack ic society. John Morris, now city engineer of Troy, and his wife, known to us at State School as Dorothy Carroll, sailed for Europe a week ago on their second honeymoon. They have been married for eight years. John Mudge has finally gained his Hart’s desire. He has also discovered a medicine which will make short people become tall in a few days. Helen K. Ilodgdon has recently been given her license to broadcast five minutes each day from stations located at Wallkiil, N. Y. Her talks will be of great interest to those who knew her at Slate School. Leo Van Dusen has become a teacher of dramatics at Gilhcrtsvillc High School. He got his start at Stale School in the play ‘’Cyclone Sally.” Ralph Schoenherr and his wife, Fva FI I is, have recently inherited $5,000,(MX) Twenty.four from his grandfather. They are now planning to retire as farmers and become speculators in the slock market. Alice Clapper is now leaching at State School. She succeeded Miss flodgdon. who resigned her position to accept another one nearer her home. Robert Brundigr has changed his occupation from farming to grave digging. Farming seemed too dull for Robert, so he married Ruth Barber and they are now happily r siding near the airport at Albany where Bob's old pal seems to bring him quite a lot of business, lie uses the well known foolproof planes. Carl Butler and tin former Anna Kggers are now residing on Carl's new farm at Summit. They seem very happy in their new home. It’s surprising what basketball games will start. Marion Bryant lias become a missionary to Africa. We hear that she is doing well in her work there. Mrs. Vanderwerker has settled down and become a typical homemaker. Occasionally she may Im seen with her two small daughters at State School. Edith Tompkins has become a well known authority on “Modern Aids to Beauty.” At present she may be found at Athens. Wallace Jones has recently been graduated from the theological school at Boston. Who would ever have thought the ministry would have a stronger appeal to him than teaching? Laurence Gibson and bis wife, known to us as Cora Ward, have decided that two can live as cheaply as one. They are now living at South Hartford. Katherine Ostrander lias become a famous poetess. Her most recent volume of poems is entitled “To Orson. ' As for Mabel Buycc, her fate was settled before she came to State School. She lias been happily married for the past nine years. She is the mother of a son, Raymond, and two daughters, Helen and F.dna. Raymond Colburn soon decided after lie left Stall School that it was lonesome living alone, so he married a blonde girl from near his home. He is now a very successful poultry and livestock man. lie is bringing his wife and three daughters, Katherine, Mabel and Mary, with him to the alumni gathering ibis year. Mrs. Calhoun lias finally accomplished her heart’s desire. She will begin a new school in Australia in 1912, as the private instriirJress of the many sheep ranchers. We wish her all sorts of good luck. Mr. and Mrs. James l cggett arc now residing on Grant 1 jggctfs Fruit Farm. James lias made a great success in the fruit business, due to his manager, George Kricksen. George gave lip his Coldcskill coal business and lias become the ambitious, enterprising manager of this flourishing estate. Mrs. Leggett, the former Betty Moot, is taking tou'ists to make up the deficiency caused by her husband's easy method of spending money, lie acquired this habit while still on the Hill. Madeline Bellinger is engaged at present in perfecting a car which will run into telephone poles and not damage tin ear or hurl the occupants. The last we heard from Bulb Failing, she said she was all Wright now. even in name. She became Mrs. Karl Wright on June 31. 1931, shortly after she had completed her course in Home F.conomics and Karl had finished liis work in Teachers Training. As for Karl, lie is now a professor of psychology at Stall School. Scott ('.halfant still owns the Brewery and still is feeding liis cows on brewery grains. He lias now developed a successful llolstein-Persian purebred herd and bis T uenty-five cows arc known the world over for production, lie must have a convincing way with the cows, too. Frank Prior is still a confirmed bachelor but lie is making plenty of money in the poultry business. Me has become the Grand Exalted Master of the Bachelors Association of America, which he tried to organize while on the Hill but failed utterly.

Ellis Pat Spkkhkck Twenty-eight Tu cnt nine After a glorious summer we relumed from the great outdoors with a marked air of authority to instill the. fear of the Juniors upon the lugubrious Freshmen. But ales', to our dismay, they arrived in overwhelming forces, outnumberin' us three to one. But since then, “the Marines have landed and the situation is well in hand. Alter a few weeks we ljoeame organized by electing the following officers for the fall term: President, Rohkut Tatoh; Vice-President, Olkn Van VaI-Kkniuiiu;; Secretary and Treasurer, Edward Dunn. We compliment ourselves upon winning the class basketball championship | y default of the Seniors, under the skillful management of Coach Van Valkcnburg and Captain Tutor. lailcr in the year at the election of the officers for the Spring term, our enrollment was increased by the addition of seven new members. We expect an exceedingly good football season next year. I am sure that the Junior (.lass has had a very prosperous year and it is with regret that we hid farewell to the Seniors. We are grateful for the assistance and advice they have rendered us. May their life at N. Y. S. S. A. lead them to greater and nobler things. h. L. DUNN, (.lass Historian. Thirty __________________________________Httrfli Thirty one On October 15th, llic I' reshmen class was organized with thirty-eight Teacher I rainin' , eight Home Economics, and forty-seven Agriculture members. The class feel proud of the fact that they have the largest entering class in agriculture in the history of the school. With the following officers: President, Ciiarlks Sl'KAVKOIU)$ yice-1 resilient, KuzahKTII Moot; Secretary, Chester Moore; treasurer. El.LKN ■Spkrukck, and Mlt. Hkwks as faculty Advisor, the class started its activities. A party was held at which all bad a fine lime and later, as sort of a farewell to those whfl were to leave the class to become Seniors and Juniors, a slcighridc party went to the Last Cobleskill Grange Mall. Everyone enjoyed the party there, if tli y never did before, and many Seniors were seen to cast longing glances at the group as they started. On the 14th of January, the class became lessened in number, as those who were to become upper classmen, left. After reorganizing with Howard IIannis, President; Lincoln Makqukt, Vice-President; Laurence Ayres, Secretary; Donald Scott, Treasurer and Student Council Member, and Mil Hkwks, faculty Advisor, the class began planning things with no girls to help out. A class basket ball team was organized which although won no games gave the upper classmen a run for their money. On March 21st, a dance was held which was well attended. The class was well represented in the Fitting and Showing Contest and the cattle and sheep made a line showing. So now the end of the first year at State School draws near, with thirty-two members present. With good wishes for the Seniors and Juniors, the class of 1933 look forward to parsing into the realm of upper classmen next year. ROBERT C. WILSON, 33 Thirty-tu o Thirty three Grunge Degree Team Hie past year lias been a very successful one for the Stale School Grange, No. 1499. Early in November a student grange degree team was started. The following were chosen for the officers necessary n a degree team: I'JiCAlt S. Kukuk, Worthy Master; LuviiKNCK Gibson, Overseer; Kaymond COLlttlltN, Steward; Mabki. Bijyck, Lecturer; Stanley S. Bust, Clia tlui'i: Langley Cou.yku. Assistant Steward; I’l m-KNCK GltEGOltY, Secretary; Ml I.TON McKoitlB, Treasurer; Emm Tompkins, htdy As-sistaut Steward; Catiikkink OstuaM KB, Geres; 10V Ki.i.is. Pomona; Pauline Host-asm. Flora. With these worthy Seniors in charge I feel as though we accomplished much during the school year. In January we initiated a group of about thirty in the third and fourth degrees into the State School Grange. We continued practicing throughout the winter. 'The first part of April we journeyed to Kullonham and initialed four in the third and fourth degrees. On the 17th of April we were invited to the Perthshire Grange to work the same degrees on some of their candidates entering the Grange. Through the whole year we all had a very pleasant time in going here and there working degrees. We assure you that all the tr ips were very enjoyable. In final appreciation, we thank the State School Grange in giving us the privilege to function as a student degree team. We are also much indebted to you for the entertainment and attention you have very faithfully given us throughout the whole year. S. S. B. Thirty-four Girls' Student Council September second, nineteen-thirty, found lliirty girls al Stale eager to start training as touchers. After about a month the Girls’ Student Council was organized. The Council was composed of three girls who roomed in town, two girls who commuted, one from the dormitory, and one from the Home K.conomies class. The following officers were elected: Paui.ink IIostasii. President: Mii.okku Cai.iioun, Vice-President; 1'l.OHKNcK Cukcoky. Secretary: VUittoN Bkywt. Treasurer: Fusil Simkcki .bkim;, Mi:i.va Coi.i.iton and Duiukn V andkkwkickku. VIiss IIodcdon has been Vacuity Advisor of the ( iris’ Student Council al Stale School for several years. At Christmas time the Boys’ and Girls’ Student Council, and with Miss Prentice from the faculty, put on a Christmas program. The program consisted of different numbers in which members of the student body took part. After the program there was a grab bag and refreshments. At mid-year, the Council was reorganized, this time electing Pawi.ink IIostasii. President; Fl.I.A SlIOl.TKS, Vice-President; Al.ICK Clai i KI , Secretary; Kl Til BaUUKK, Treasurer: Dokikn Vandkuwkkkkk, Mii.dkku Cai.hoi;n, and Fusik Simkgki.hkim:. The members of the Council gave a theatre parly with Misses llodgdon, Biles and Prentice as guests. Miss llodgdon was unable to attend. There is now in plan a picnic, which it is hoped she can join. F. 1. S. P. R. H. T hilly, fire Glee Club Several of the students of the school, who were interested in music, organized a Glee Club under the direction of Mr. Day. A music committee consisting of Elizabeth Moot, Pauline Hostash, Charles St rafford and Gilbert Jones was appointed and they selected the music used by the Glee Club throughout the year. J’he (dee Club has taken an active part in the school activities. They cooperated in presenting the Christmas play, the Saint Patrick’s Day program and the program for the annual Kiting Contest. The Club consisted of the following members: Mabel Buyce, Florence Gregory, Klizabeth Moot, Pauline Hostash. Kva Kllis, Eleanor Hack, Dorothy Carroll, Helen Hodgdon, Edith Tompkins, Janctt Gardinier, Hilda Schoonmaker, Gilbert Jones, Karl Wright, Charles SurafTord, Olin Van Valkenlmrgh, Waller Parks, Allen Furman, Stanley Best, Haslcy Sherwood, Milton McRorie, Frank Prior, Raymond Colburn, Langley Collyer, Robert Wilson, William Williams, Wilson Dodge. Agriculture When school opened on the Hill in the fall, seventy-five students reported lor the agricultural courses as follows: Seniors, 22; Juniors, 0; Freshmen, 1 7 11 spring term opened with seventy-four students as follows: Seniors, 27; Juniors, I f; Frcshnic n, 33. During the fall term four students left school, one having finished the eon so. At the beginning of the spring term three new students entered and during the term five left, leaving twenty-four to receive diplomas at the close of the year. Of those graduating, sixteen were taking the three year course, three of them being high school graduates; three were taking a two-year special, one being a high school graduate; three were one-year specials, all high high school graduates; and two short course students, both high school graduates. The group as a whole could not enter into many school activities, because of their being in different classes However, all school activities contained a good share of this group, working in conjunction with the Teacher Training and Home Economics. The two most important activities for the Agricultural group were the I). C. Dow Speaking Contest, in which several participated, Halsey Sherwood receiving second award; the other, the Livestock Fitting and Showing Contest, in which Edgar Kukuk received sweepstakes cup for cattle, John Morris for poultry, and Eugene Stone for sheep. Doth events were enjoyed by the onlookers as well as the participants. The Agricultural Department feels that they have gained much while attending .State School this year and expect to gain as much more while working oil the summer problems or as Alumni. They hope that the same spirit of sportsmanship will continue. Thirty-seven Home Economics On September 2, 1930, seven girls launched a new ship of education on the wide, beautiful sea of Home (Economics. The ship was loaded with all kinds of kitchen utensils and supplies, certain valuable text books, needles, thread and thimbles. The captain, Miss Prentice, proved to be a most efficient leader for the crew, having followed the course many times before, and being a truly experienced seaman. .She kept our ship headed on the rigli course all the year. One stop was made in October, and a new member was picked up for the crew. She became ill shortly after, as the sea life did not agree with her, and we left her at a nearby port. Many interesting things were done, besides our regular duties while at sea. A glee club was formed at Port State School under the supervision of Captain Day, and each Monday ami Thursday night, the ship returned to this place, in order that two of the crew might lx? members. Being true sailors, we had a marine band, which was the best of its kind, made up « f the seven in the crew. We played at several different ports. There were many other interesting activities; plays, speaking contests, and other programs, in which we look a part, at Port State School. The ship of education has now come to its final destination—Port Commencement. The sea has not l ecn rough, and even if it had been there were many lighthouses sending out their gleams to guide our ship on its way. Each member l our crew leaves to join another. May oilier seas be as bright, as beautiful, and as helpful us this one has been. HELEN R. HODGDON T hi rly.eight Teacher Training Again we arc drawing l a close a very eventful school year. I am sure that each one of the «J4 training class members will agree with me on this. When we look hack it seems that the time has flown very swiftly, (lerlainly it has not been long since we made our acquaintance with training class rules and' regulations. We owe much gratitude to our teachers. Miss llodgdon and Miss Biles, who have piloted us throughout the course. Many of us felt at first very much like stray sheep. This feeling did not prevail for very long as the teachers gave us a fine “get-together” parly on the quadrangle. This was just a beginning of the many good times we have had here at Stale School. When the Agg. boys came we gave them a party to make them feel more at home. Later on we had several other parlies and dances, which all enjoyed. Of course State School is not all play and we didn’t expect it would be. We found that the work was not easy, but that we did gel a great deal of satisfaction when our work was accomplished successfully. We have carried out several interesting projects such as Book Week celebration. Social Studies exhibition, Arithmetic Methods and Devices Display, and made a collection and study of modern books and methods for teaching reading in the lower grades. Another interesting phase is student teaching in a one room rural school. Many of us found several humorous experiences in this work, but we also found to some degree whether or not we could accept responsibility and be depended upon to carry this work out faithfully. Now it is time to say good bye We do this not because we want to, hut because it seems to be necessary. Nevertheless we will cherish golden memories of our dear old State School and the Orange and the Black. M. F. B. Thirty nine It is quite 1 i flicii 11 and it would take up inure space than could he provided to list the activities of each and every Alumnus, and so with this in mind it lias bccfci decided to say something in general concerning the Alumni as a whole. Knell year at Commencement a goodly number come hack to attend the different school affairs held at that lime, especially the Alumni Banquet, hut we would like to see twice as many. As you already know, the cup so kindly provided by Mr. Krisbie, President of the Board of Trustees, had to hr turned over to the class of 19 50 this year by the class of 1929 who held it for the first year of its existence. It seems that the preceding class each year has the greatest percentage of their numbers back for the banquet. During the course of the banquet a proposition was presented by Director Crittenden, voted upon and carried by the Alumni present. It had to do with the Student Loan Fund and Speaking Contest. lliis year the Student Loan Knud was inadequate, also was started a Speaking Contest sponsored by Mr. Dow, I reasurer of the Board of Trustees, who graciously provided one hundred dollars for prizes. Kor next year the money has been donated by Mr. Krisbie. These donations might be secured each year in this way, but the proposition as presented by Director Crittenden provides that each Alumnus, who feels willing to do so, contribute one dollar towards the Student Loan Fund, the interest of which is to be used for at least purl of the money for the Speaking Contest. The Alumni Association voted for this plan because they realized the value of the Student Loan Fund to those in need of money while attending Stale School, and also the importance of Speaking Contests for training students to be able to get up and express their thoughts before any group. The Voice Staff hopes that each Alumnus will respond wholeheartedly to this new plan and it wishes you success for the coming years. Forty Pi Phi—Alpha Theta Chapter Edward Iliglcy II.

Forty-four •'orty-Fiue Two weeks before llic agricultural students were enrolled Iasi fall a small group of football men hud come lo I lie hill to gel in trim for the coming season. Captain Leggett with Init a few veterans and some green material was here. After the first game bad been played and the hill resumed its natural appearance, prospects began lo look much more encouraging. Thirteen men returned from last year’s s'tuad and about as many Freshmen took an active interest in the game. Throughout the whole season some dropped out and others joined us, but there was always material at hand to work with and things progressed much better than during the same period last year. Much credit is to be given Coaeli Moot for his time and enthusiastic interest which he gave in getting together and developing this group of young men who will s'and out in school history as some of those who gave football in Cobleskil! a solid foundation. There arc all but three of the major letter men graduating this spring; but there will be a total of as many or more returning next fall as last fall. Let’s wish them lots of luck in improving the record made by the team this year. May I suggest in the interest and behalf of football, that they be given an advantage by having the entire school start earlier in the fall, 'flic following were awards given by the Athletic Council: Major Letters—Captain l ggeti, Van Valkenhurg, Tutor, Myers, Kukuk, Baright, Gibson, Sehoonniakcr, ScrafTord and Dodds.
