Our one and only hope is that you will he pleased with our efforts. Just as the roadway of life is not without its obstructions, our pathway has not been without difficulties, but anything worthwhile is surely worth working for. The Voice Staff may be compared to a modern motor car. The automobile has something in it which makes it run smoothly and in the Voice Staff that something is to be found in the fine efforts of our Faculty advisors. Miss Hodgdon and Mr. Gregory. Their cooperation has been ceaseless and it is with deep sincerity that the Staff expresses its appreciation. As you look at this book in the years to conic may it help you relive the happy and beneficial days spent on The Mill. If our journey here has been as beneficial and happy to others as it has to us then indeed will our cup of happiness be filled to overflowing. THE STAFF I ] t Dedication I lie Voick Staff of nineteen hundred and thirty-three is indeed happy to dedicate this eleventh annual to om loyal friend, teacher and Faculty Advisor, Miss Evelyn R. Ilodg-don. [ 5 ] Jilt JUkmiiriam r.UGKNK RAYMOND STONK August 22, 1911 • June 17, 19.12 Only loo often docs llir Great Reaper sweep down and lake such a friend from our ranks. Win n Kiigrnc was taken from us lie left a niche in the class of I9T1 which will never he refilled, lie was the friend of all with whom he came in contact, lie was a hard worker in everything with which he was connected. Kugene was the type of scholar who strives, not for marks alone, hut the benefits ami knowledge which a course mav hold in store. Kugene was one of those individuals who, no matter what he was doing, displayed a type of character which was beyond reproach. Truly when he came into this world he broke the mold and a new one was pul into use. When we look at his picture let us remember him as we knew him, a friend of all, a scholar, a hard worker, and a man. No more may be said of anyone.

Gregory r 10 j Editorial At Iasi, after months of hard work, we are approaching our long sought goal, graduation. In the true sense of the word, however, it is not graduation hut commencement. Iliis is true, because most of us are completing our scholastic education at this school, and are going out to face the trials and hardships of life. We are just commencing that phase of our lives which may he termed independence; we are going out on our own and the responsibility for our success or failure rests upon our own shoulders. The question of young people today, their work and their problems, is even greater than that of yesterday. Ilie world is in economic turmoil and the task of putting it hack on a sound footing and then keeping it there rests on the younger generation. Many of the older generation shake their heads in despair when they think of the future of civilization resting on our shoulders. We are often called a brainless and undisciplined lot, hut when we look hark to the time when our predecessors were our age we liud that we arc, if anything, setting up a better record than that which was set up for us to follow. Tin younger generation of today has no cause for worry. When the time comes for u to take over the controls we will not he found unprepared. W hen we have something to do we get Imsy and get it done when it should he done. I’lic VotcK Staff of 1933 has finished its journey and can only hope that we have done a piece of work which meets the approval of the student body. We wish to thank all those who have in any way helped to make this year’s work so successful. We wish tin Stall that i- to carry oil in our place all the link possible in the task which will he theirs in the year to conn . And so we come lo the parting of the ways. The Class of 1933 will soon have lo say good-bye to the school which they have learned to love so well, and to the many friends that they have made during their slay here. As we leave the “Hill as graduates and hid farewell lo the faculty and lo the student body who remain, our only hope is that you will reinoml‘ � r us in the days lo come.

[28] Senior History II seems only a short lime ago, back in Oelober 1930, dial die first member of die class of sla:led as Ireslunen al Stale School. The class, composed of Home Keonomics. Teacher's Trainin'!; and Agriculture members, numbered ninety-three and was, up lo llial lime, die largest entering class in die history of the school. The group soon became organized and with Mr. IIewes as faculty advisor began its activities. One of the good times to be especially remembered from that year was tin sleigh-ride party out lo the hast Gohh skill Orange Hall. Mr. 11 ewes will at least remember the part of the refreshments which found its way into his gloves. January 1931. the number was reduced lo thirty as all but the three year boys left to join other classes. The class was then reorganized with llo Ki I I annis, Pres-iclent: Lincoln Maiu,� ukt, Vice-President.; Lawkknck Ayuks, Secretary; and Donald Scott, Treasurer. Mr. Ilewes again Faculty Adxisor. After the first summer of supervision work twenlv-lhree ol the class returned as juniors. The officers elected for the first term of that year were: President. Donald Scott; Vice-president, William Williams; and Secretary-Treasurer, Lawrence Ayres. Mr. Ilewes was again elected Faculty Advisor. With the coming of the Spring Term the numbers were increased as the iwo-vear Home Keonomics and two-year Aggie boys joined the class. The new officers for that term were; President, Abram Van Vrankcn; Vice-president. Thelma Jones: .Secretary, Flizaheth Gaylord; Treasurer, Douglas Greenwood; and Student Council members, George Wilcox. Eugene Stone and W alter Schmidt. Mr. Ilewes was unanimously re-elected as Faculty Advisor. On February twenty-seventh an old fashioned dance was held in the gym for the people of the community at which all present had a very enjoyable time. April came along and soon the boys were away from Coblcskill and hard at work on farms. Returning as Seniors in October 1932, the class settled down for their last and most eventful year al Stale School. Activities began with the election ol officers: President, Mr. V nnVrankcn; Vice-president. Miss Jones; Secretary, Mr. Calhoun: and Treasurer, Mr. Schmidt. Mr. Ilewes was again the unanimous choice for Faculty Advisor. 'Flic Student Council members, Mr. YanVranken. Mr. Schmidt, Mr. Niven, Mr. Waite and Mr. Wilcox, soon were enforcing the Frosli rules. Flic greatest activity of the term was the winning of the inter-class basketball series under Coach Van Vrankcn and Captain Fckcrson. The Senior Glass at the beginning of the Spring term was increased to seventy-eight by the Training Glass, one year Home Economic girls and one year Special Ag. boys who joined the ranks. 'Flic last group of officers were elected: Mr. Van- Vrankcn, President; Miss Carpenter, Vice-president; Miss Gaylord, Secretary; Mr. [29] Wilt-ox, Treasurer; and Mr. Ilewes, Faculty A lvisor. .Student Council members were Messrs. VenVranken, Calhoun, O’iXcil, Wolfe and lauigdon. The ( lass then bewail to plan many activities. The .Senior play, “Strawhem Kale”, was selected with the cast as follows: Kale Winton, Annella Dinncl: Mrs. Winton, Kmma Doran: 11 awl Downing, Marietta Richard; Gwendolyn, Until Geiser; Minnie llol .appcl, Hobcrlba Sickles, Hcllv Crawford, Thelma Jones; Cbrysanthemum Klols, Mamie Carpenter; Rob Craw fo d, Kohcrl Wilson; Charlie ( ranker, George. Danforlb; Tummy Meadows. Victor Hoslohar; F .ra Norton, Patrick O’Neil; and Jim Tuekell, William Williams. I’ins and rings were ordered and pictures taken for the “Voice”. A party was planned for March I well lb and the Senior Uampiet and Commencement were planned. Now we are nearing our goal. Soon we will become Alumnae and go into oir various lie Ids of activity. We cannot help a sincere feeling of sadness at our parting with dear old Stale School. May we never forget the joys and sorrows experienced by us at our Alma Mater and may tin class of be remembered by those whom we leave. In closing, the class of wishes to express its deepest appreciation for the helpful guidance of on beloved Faculty Advisor, Mr. Ilewes. K.C.W.—W.VV.I).

Upon closer examination I find to my surprise that they carry at their head a banner which reads N. Y. S. S. A. Class of 1933. Imagine my surprise for here spread out below me are my classmates of fo-mcr years. In Ihi- army of the Class ol ’33 I behold the members o( that class busy at their various walks of life. K u Rich is operating a high class stable where some of the world’s finest s|M ci-mens of horse-flesh may be seen. Ralph Sherman is busy exercising a horse in preparation for a coming race in which Fuzzy will he acting as jockey. Ix and behold, on a closer examination of the stables we find ken’s stable boy who is none other than Howard Rash fold, one of State’s most famous runners in days gone by, peacefully sleeping on a pile of hay. James Doherty is sailing the Seven Seas in his new ocean liner the NYSSA. Jim has his old pal. Waller Schmidt, as a skipper and chief navigator. Poking our head into the galley we find Tom Quigley busy cooking the evening meal. Johnny Kggers is still in the race for a permanent feminine admirer. “Uncle Abe” Van Vrnnken has finally admitted that be is a married man, and has proven the same with several bits of evidence. George Wilcox is a breeder of bigger and better Guernseys. We understand that George gained his liking for this particular breed from his little brown-haired school day admirer. Patrons of the Park Theater were very agreeably surprised a few weeks ago to sec F.dward (S |iiirtl Gregorka playing the leading role in Monahan's Current Hit, “Who Won the War” “Bill” Williams, the famous Texas Cowpunchcr, was recently admitted into “The Rough Riders of America. Grace Murphy, belter known as Crncie Allen, recently settled down in her Del-mar Apartment. She announced that any good advice would he appreciated. “Betty” Gaylord apparently has not had much luck to date because she is planning to start an Old Men’s Home for her own convenience. Helen Reynolds tried to keep the matter a secret at school, but the truth will out. She is now known as Mrs. Clarence Rea and is comfortably settled in her home on the Rea Farm. Louise Kline tried to keep us all guessing at State, hut the guessing is all over now. She is busy putting he- home-ee. knowledge to use, and is known to her friends as Mrs. Lawrence Ayres. Marion Zemarkowilz is busy teaching Home Feonomics in Catskill High. Ruth Ann Geiser recently announced her appointment to the position as director of a certain school. Dutchy Day is happily settled with Herbert Miller on a large Texas ranch. [33] Francis Herrick lias her goat permanently tied and is now leaching others where to tie theirs. Margaret Hewson is teaching in an institution for the feeble minded, where Washburn has been a patient until recently. Since he left the institution, he has been going about the country leading revival meetings. Marion Hunter is still teaching school in Galway. She is still single, but it is rumored that 1-cwis' Ford is often seen in the vicinity of her school. Velma Legasstfe iLcgasscc no longer) is the wife of a famous poultrymun. We see that “Ax” is still on poultry duly. Virginia Lockhart (Mrs. Wager) is busily teaching school to suppo-t her husband and four children. It seems that Wager is still engaged in the great occupation of doing nothing. Pat O’Neill, wc hear, is the new president of the Irish Free Stale. More power to you, Pat! After long years of waiting, Helen Fobian has just settled down in New York (lily with her husband, Mr. KoIktI Chauncey Wilson, who is proprietor of tin “Rosebud” Rail room on 42nd Street. Robcrthn Sickels, who is better known as Mrs. Waller Harold Tillapaugh, has settled down in Mineral Springs to bring up her children on Sulphur Water. We thought, way back in ’.‘12, that sin would settle down in Jefferson with George drinking something else. “Sic” Fckcrson and his brother-in-law, Wilson Dodge, are operating the Dongrove Farm in Cobleskill on a partnership basis. Wc understand that W ilson does the managing while “Sic” does the work. Karl Osolneck recently sprained his back while jerking sodas from lloagland’s Drug Store. Karl is pretty light for such heavy work. Ken Hover has joined the circus as the caretaker of elephants. We understand that Ken look up this occupation because of the similarity of the breathing apparatus. Otis Dean Palmer is the proud possessor of the largest moustache and chest wig in Schoharie County, lb is the sole operator and occupant of the “Lone Rec Farm,” way hack in the Jefferson Hills. Sam Sturgeon is now steadily employed by Ken Rich as a veterinarian for his race horses. Kdward Travis has just completed the erection of a huge jig-saw puzzle factory in Scotia. Chuck Niven has taken Mr. Ilodder’s position on the Hill as professor of the fine art of Field Flops. John ( Hammerhead I Van Almelo is a student in Chuck Niven’s class in Field Flops, having the desire to learn how to raise umbrellas and grow ambition. George Danforth is now working his “Justa Mere Farm” located among the rocks in the Jefferson Hills. We understand that George hunts the famous Jefferson jack rabbits as a means of recreation. Warren J. Oueil has been appointed by Fire Chief Carl Roller as a truck washer for the llarroway Hose Company of Richmondville. [M] (Jlrn Ho IT is now a traveling salesman for Cceil Beers Co., posl hole manufacturers. We see that Holt is still engaged in his old occupation of blowing olT quantities of hot air about nothing. Lawrence Hloomcr at last, as the ctilniinalion of twenty years’ hard work and intense research, has succeeded in growing a noticeable moustache. Willie Dodds, former wrestling champion of State School, is now the village blacksmith at Hillsdale. (Jrant Langdon, The Copakc LI ash. an erstwhile professional “Romeo” of Co-pakc ami New York, now lias charge of a convalescent nurse's home on his palatial estate in the l angdon County hills. Doug Waite, missing for many years, showed up in Cohlcskill throwing hot air as a barker in a side show and carnival a few days ago. Lloyd IVck is very busily engaged at his usual occupation, lie is on a continuous vacation. Larry Ayers is now held headed from lying awake nights thinking up ‘‘Tall Stories” to tell the next day. George Lowe is now Scoutmaster of the troop in his home town. Ilocco Rotunda, the alumnus of many schools, is now following his life work as a gate crasher in all the leading towns and cities in the east. Robert Wood is now a honey gatherer on his uncle’s farm. We are very sad to lx; the hearer of had news, hut Hill Hath just simply could not keep that motorcycle of his under control and he is now busily engaged shoveling coal. Malcolm Horst was recently appointed chief engineer in charge of television fo-ihc General Lleetric Company in Schenectady. Arthur Brooks is teaching school at Austcrlil .. He has three children of his own who are of school age. hut Mrs. Brooks (formerly Miss Robbinst is teaching them at borne, as she savs she wants her children to have a good education. Jessie Champagne is happily mavried to that famous cowpunchcr, I’nele Bill Williams. They have two line son - who pride themselves on having what was known in IO-k” as “Depression Haircuts.” Gertrude Dunning has given up teaching school and is devoting her entire time to her home and family. She doesn't miss her teacher’s salary, as Joe is a prosperous farmer, and the name “Mrs. Vlahar” is ample compensation to any independence which she may have lost. Alice Kent hers is demonstrating refrigerators for the General Lleetric Company, after having been married to Mr. Darling and later widowed. Mr. Darling was frozen to death. We understand that she i- being seen ;ii frequent intervals in the eompany of the former Stale Sehool sheik, John Barrel I. Llixaheih Kalhhtm is an ol l maid school inarm, leaebing school in the wilderness north of Whitehall. Marietta and Cecil arc running a shop in Cohlcskill in front of which hangs the sign. “Beers and Light Wines.” Cecil is running this shop merely as a side line so that ho may have something to do when BolT fails to bring orders for postholes. [ 35 ] Victor Roslohar, whose lilclong ambition was to Iwconic a lawyer, lias just been admitted to the bar (room I. Miss Margaret Schwab is still engaged teaching school, having given up many chances to settle down so that she might go on with her career. Michael Stark has lieen coaching the Cohlcskill basketball team for the past five years. They have been unable to defeat the boys on the Hill since Mike look over control. Arthur Seage has just published his latest book, “How to Teach School.” Robert Krncst Calhoun lias recently been appointed head of the Poultry Department on tie Hill and lias inherited from bis predecessor, among other things, the famous saying , ‘Wlio fru dal?” Major General Thompson Wilcox Hawkins, founder and present bead of the famous Hawkins Military Academy, still manages to hand bis students the same old line It seems to us that they should have gotten wise to him long before this. Headlines in a recent Metropolitan paper read as follows: “Frccbcrn obtains Reno divorce from famous Broadway playboy.” If you were to walk up the Stale School Hill you would find that the present house mother is none other than Mahlc Robinson. Continuing on down into the Cafeteria we lind it bigger and better than ever and operating under the capable management of our old friend Thelma Jones. Beryl A. Hclmer recently made her debut as a concert violinist in Radio City Music Hall. She was accompanied by the well known pianist, Thelma Perkins. Hilton II. Barrett, Ksq., recently won the checker playing championship of the world for the fifth consecutive year. Chuck Wolfe is captain and center of the world famous basketball team known lo the public as The Jefferson Midgets. Incidentally Chuck is by far the tallest man on the squad. “Peg” Kvnns and Margaret Sweet, though it may seem impossible, have as yet been unable to permanently catch a man. The last time we heard from them they were setting Broadway afire as the dancing team in the famous “Carle Carrol's Vanities.” At last we have been able to gel the truth of our old friend Maude Carpenter. She is no longer teaching school and her last name is no longer Carpenter. Maude is happily married and known lo the inhabitants of Trullivillc as Mrs. Horton. Kmma Doran and Annella Dinncl are also making use of the Home Making experience which they obtained on the Hill. Both are happily married and have made excellent contributions to the future generation. As I continue on my journey I run into a bank of fog and the class of PJ.Tl fades from view. They are gone from my sight but never from my memory. [36] [: 7] Juniors Tlx; spring of 19.1.1 finds us closing ilic second year ol our slay al the New York Slate School of Agriculture with the same hope and enthusiasm that accompanied iis at the first formation of the Class of ’.11, At the first meeting held last October the following officers were elected: Presi- dent, KoiiKitT iVIn.i Kit; Vice-President, Gkoiu:k Stkvkns; Secretary, Ki wari Hampton; Treasurer, Jkroi.d IIkatii; Student Council iVIcnihers, C11.BKRT Wiiitk. Ci.ih-rmti) Klntinc and Donald Tili.apaumi. Mr. Moot was asked to act as Faculty Advisor. During the Inter-class games the Junior team did not have such good luck as far as the scon- was concerned, hut, if the decision had been based on team spirit, wo would have won all games played. The team was composed of the following: John Farrell, Captain; Gilbert White, Jorold Heath, Donald Tiilapaugh, George Jakeway, Clifford Hunting, Carl Dykeman, Kolierl Windolph, and Koberl Miller, Coach. When the class was reorganized in January, the following were elected as officers for the second term: President, Koberl Miller; Vice-president, Gilbert While; Secretary, Until Baucus; Treasurer, Alfred Williams; Student Council Members, Percy Thompson, Jerold Heath and Donald I'illapuugh. While wc have not accomplished as much tbiv year as wo had planned, we fed that we have been busy enough to make our lime here al Slate School worth while. Our best wishes arc extended to the Senior Class, and we wish them the best of luck in the years to come. J.H.F. I 38 1 — [39] Freshmen between September 6th, I9.‘I2, and jamiary 2'ltli, 193.5, civilly-four green trusting young people came to Coblcskill to enroll in Home Kconomics, Agriculture, and Teacher Training Department . the first two weeks in October the young men who had enrolled had to keep their eye open for Upper-Classmen. They were continually riding about in cars and were very eager to take any freshmen for a ride, allowing such freshmen to enjoy the .scon ery of the surrounding locality on their walk home. the freshmen soon became well acquainted with each other and at the first class meeting elected the following for our officers: President, joskimi maiiau; vice-president, MAUDE CAKPK.N’TKlt; secretary, annki.I.a IHNNKI.; and treasurer, ALI-IIKI) WILLIAMS. during the inter-class basketball tournament the freshmen did not have as much success as they would have liked to have had but everyone had a good time and we arc looking forward to better results next year. on jamiary 20, 1933, the freshmen class held a party and dance, this was held as our last get-together before the class was broken up and many of our members became Juniors and Seniors. at the beginning of the second term the freshmen class bad dwindled down to only seventeen, at the first meeting the following officers were elected: president, alden paync; vice-president, herbert miller; secretary, donald hauciis; treasurer, william buseh, and student council representative, roberl jensen. during our first year at Stale School we have striven very hard to turn the Key to Rural Knowledge and have ! cen fairly successful in our efforts, the lime lias come when we shall cease to be freshmen and enter the kingdom of Upper-Classmen. we wish to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to our Taeiill) Advisor, Mr. Gregory, for all his assistance and advice imparted to us as freshmen. J-T. C40] [41] Teacher Training Oil Tuesday, September 6, 1forty-three si rangers mrl in die auditorium to enroll as prospective students. Twenty-five were elioseti from this number to make up State School's last Training (.lass. Shortly after the beginning of the semester two persons dropped out and the Training Class approaches graduation with twenty-three members. The “Aggie- came early in October and the boys were initialed by the lime-honored ITo.-li rules. However, it was not long before we became acquainted with each other and throughout the school year the three departments have enjoyed many pleasant relationships. The time is fast approaching when the “Aggies” will be leaving our niche and we certainly will mi.-s them. In a few months we, loo, will go down the winding path, leaving our Alma Mater behind. But we will never forget the happy days of friendship we have enjoyed on the Hill. In the years to come, we shall never forget the hard work of Miss Hodgdon, who has striven so hard to develop in us qualities which go to make up a good rural teacher. Wc entered cheerful and light hearted; we leave serious and somewhat sad, ready to meet the many problems which the future bolds in store. [42] Eleven Years of Teacher Training Tin graduating class of 1933 is the clcvcnlh class in llic history of Slate School to include among its numbers members of the Training ('lass Department. Bceausc stale educational policies so decree, apparently, il will he the last group of rural teachers to go forth from our halls to tin fields of service. Il seems fitting then to give a little space to review the history of the department. In 1922-23 the teacher training work was transferred from the local high school to Slate Si IiooI. graduating in that year a class of thirteen. In 1929 the number graduating reached its peak, the class, consisting of seventy-nine teachers to take the leadership in seventy-nine rural schools. The total number of teachers prepared by this institution and -cut out into the field of service, includin'.! the present «lass, is three hundred eighty-one. F.ighly-fivc of this number were graduated from the two year course in the three years from I92( to 1929. Kxcluding our present class, whom it is now loo early to place, we may claim to have placed three hundred forty-six out of the three hundred fifty-eight graduates. Miss Ida Smith was the instructor when the department started and the number of teachers increased with the increase in enrollment until in 1926, when four full lime instructors were employed for the two-year course. With the changes which followed in the last year of the work there is again only one instructor. Resides the lull time faculty for this department, speeialists from the other departments have taught such subjects as could he best handled by them. At the close of the year 1923, Miss Smith was followed by Miss Cal I a Louise King t Mrs. F.nglc), who for one year carried on the training of teachers. In 1921-25 the enrollment increased to twenty-nine and for two years Miss Annabe l Snyder and Miss Helen l . Ihirt I css shared the responsibility left by Miss King. The advent of the two year course in the fall of 192b brought four faculty members: Miss 1-aura K. McDonald as head of the- department and Misses Kvelyn R. Ilodgdon. Kli .alwth I. Wicks and Mildred 'foil I son I Mrs. Schuyler t. Miss Kslclla M. Seymour followed Miss Wicks and at the close of the year the position was discontinued. In February. 1929, Miss McDonald left and Miss Ilodgdon became head of the department. The vac ancy was filled by Miss Kthel I). Dennett for half a year. Miss Dennett was followed by Miss Anna D. Riles for llu years 1929-30, 1930-31, and 1931-32, when this position was discontinued. Miss Toalson's position was discontinued in June 1929. Thus tin faculty again consisted of one member. Miss Ilodgdon. The cooperation of the local schools has been ideal for participation and practice work. This phase of the work has increased until more than five weeks of actual experience with rural leaching situations has been possible for each student in the course during the last three years. Stale School i- essentially rural and has therefore sent out leathers who have had the opportunity to acquire an understanding and appreciation of rural problems and altitudes which have contributed largely It) their success as rural teachers and leaders. 'I bis school is justly proud of the success of its training class graduaU -, many of whom, after initiation in the teaching service, have attended still higher institutions of professional training anti arc becoming leaders in the field of elementary education. [ 4a ] Home Economics ll was with happy hearts and high expectations that twenty-two girls joined llic ranks of the Home Kconomics students to increase their knowledge in this field and bring forth smiles and friendships in the future. The opening weeks of school brought with them the reorganization of the Nome Keonomics (dub with the following officers: President, Francks IIkriiick; Vice- President, Kmma Doran; Secretary, FotllsK Ki.im-:; Treasurer, Annki.i.a Dinnki.. The Club has held several parties and all have been a great success. We have enjoyed our life here at Stale School and it is with regret that we see the closing of another year, old friends passing from view and our good times here fade and become mere memories. We give our best wishes for success of the future. and happiness to the I bum Fconomic classes L. K. 144} Miss Vida L. Frey Ibis vein marks tin dose of the firs! period for the two year course in I Ionic Economics. It is llie commencement for a group of slmlcnls who have heeii acquiring llie (raining and ability In belter carry on llie program of life. It is an auspicious occasion for another member of the Home Economics Depart incut, Miss Vida E. Frey. A more congenial and helpful member of the faculty could not be desired, as lias been so aptly exhibited on many occasions during the past two years. Miss Frey came with this particular group and has done much to guide them towards that belter life for which they have been aiming during the past two years. Now she, too, has reached her commencement into a new phase of life. It is with regret, on the part of both students and faculty, that Miss Frey is leaving our school family. In as much as she is planning to put into practice those things she has been teaching, our only wish is to speed her on her way, with much happiness and success, for that most important step which she is contemplating with great trepidity. O'] gAgriculture The Agricultural Department is that group of students which gives l llic school ils lillc of Agriculture. This department is dearly tin1 most important group on the Hill. They know it and arc proud of it. During the course of the school many of our members have taken several interesting trips into the surrounding territory. In January, the Senior I'Yuil Students went to Kingston to attend the Stale Horticultural Convention. The Senior Poultry Class made a most interesting trip to New York and from all reports a merry time was had hv all. The Junior Livestock Class had made numerous cattle judging trips to nearby farms. On April 6th a group of Seniors made an all day trip to The General Klcctric Company in Schenectady and to the Port of Albany. We must not forget the Freshmen boys, altogether. Up to the present time llicv have been considered as nothing but “Frosh but the time has arrival when they may pass on into the Kingdom of Upperclassmen. We Seniors wish them well upon their journey and only hope that they may keep their slate as clean during their stay here as the upperclassmen have. Taking everything into consideration this has been a most beneficial year for all concerned, and it is with deep regret that we see it come to a close. I). E. i:. I l� l I 46 J Inter-Fraternity Council Due to the formin'! of two new fraternities at Slate School it was deemed advis-ablc to form an inter-fraternity council lo art as a board of arbitration between the three fraternities. The council consists of: Director I,. W. Crittenden, one faculty member and one student member of each fraternity. The following are the members of the council: Tlicla Gamma- C. I). Gregory and l . C. Wilson. Alpha Sigma U. L. Wheeler and K. Miller. Zeta Alpha Phi -M. I), 'feed and C. W. Stevens. The I unction of the council is to consider all violations of the inter-fraternity agreement, to administer penalties for violation of the agreement, and to straighten out any dilliculty which might arise among the three fraternal groups. G. W. S.—It. G. W. r 47 3 Student Councils Tin girl -’ student council consists of five members of the training class. The members of the council for the first semester were: Vki.ma Lkga.ssk. President; 'J'iiklma Pkkkins, Vice-President; 1 mjdk Caiu’Kntkk, Secretary; Aijck Ikathkrs, Treasurer; and Kuril Kobrins. After mid-term examinations the girls’ student council was composed of the following: Viu.ma I.kgassk, President; Virginia Lockhart. Vice-President; Jkssk Ciiami’Agnk, Secretary; Margakkt IIkwson, Treasurer; and Hutu Gkiskk. The main purpose of the council is to regulate the social activities of the ( raining Class. The council sponsored a series of tea dances for the purpose of raising money for Training Class activities. Due to the kindness of the State School Orchestra, these dances were a big success. Our Faculty Advisor, Miss llodgdon, lias been most helpful and we consider that we have spent a very profitable year. V. L. The hoys’ student council organized early in the month of October, electing the following officers: President. Aiikam Van Visvnkkn; Vice-President, Ci.iriomi Hunting; and Secretary, CiiAlH.KS INivkn. The first major undertaking was that of formulating rules and regulations for governing the freshmen hoys. The freshmen are to he complimented for the fine way in which they obeyed these regulations. After the freshmen were made to toe the line we turned our attention to the more important problems to come under our jurisdiction. When the council was reorganized in the second semester the following officers were elected: President, Aiiram Van VranKKN; Vice-President, Grant LaNGRON; Secretary, Patrick O’Nkiix. We have not been as active during the second semester as we were during die first, hut taking everything into consideration we feel that the year has been a very successful one. A. V. V. [48] oAthletic Qouncils I ho athletic councils are composed of the coaches of the various sports, the preside ul and secretaries of the Student Councils, and the Director. The purpose of these organizations is to make all athletic awards of the school. The captain and manager of the sports concerned act with the council. There are two separate divisions of the council, tin girls and hoys making their respective awards. The girls' council for the current year is composed of the Misses Velma l cgasse and Jessie Champagne of the girls Student Council, Mr. K. N. Moot, coach, and Director Crittenden. Captain Gretchcn Day, Manager Marietta Kickard and playing manager. Helen Fohian, acted with the girls council in making awards for the girls basketball. The hoys’ Athletic Council was in reality made up of two groups. Captain Miller and Manager Dodds, Coach Moot and Messrs. Van Vrnnken and Niven of the hoys’ Student Council acted with the director in making football awards. Co-Captains Van Yrankcn and Niven, Manager Hover and Coach Wheeler acted with the director in making hoys’ basketball awards.

To three speakers, speech will he golden: for. if they win, they will In awarded prizes totaling fifty dollars. The third annual speaking contest was held April the thirteenth, with the following speakers competing for the awards: Kobcrlha Sickcls ....................................... “Home” Samuel Sturgeon ........................... “'File Farm Bureau” Arthur Brooks ...................... ‘‘The Ideal Rural School” William Bath.........“'Hie Foundation of American Farm Life” Bernard Sauter .................. “Washington, As a Farmer” Norman Axenson ................. “The Old Morgan Homestead” Previous to the Thanksgiving vacation the first elimination contest was conducted with the faculty acting as judges. Twelve contestants were chosen, on their ability to speak only. The second elimination which was held prior to the Christmas vacation, lowered the number to six. Mr. R. F. Pollard, Farm Bureau Manager of Schoharie County; Miss R. Bently, Coblcskill High School, and Rev. Mr. Skinner of Rich-niondville, were the judges for this occasion. Douglas 0. Waite, who participated in this elimination as a contestant for the Stale Grange Speaking Contest, only, was awarded first place. Due to this placement, he represented Stale School at Geneva on February 8th, where he came away victorious, with the gold medal awarded first place. This was won from contestants from the other five Slate Schools of New York. Because this hook goes to press before the final contest, no record of awards can he printed in this issue. More interest was shown by the student body in this year’s contest than ever before. We only hope that as much interest is shown in the years to come as there was this year. noj Dramatic Club La si fall a few students decided to organize a dramatic clul . They called for a gathering of all those interested, and ahout thirty students responded. Flection of officers was held at tin1 first meeting with the following officers being elected: President, Annum Hkooks; Vice-President, Jesse Champagne; Secretary, Roiiektiia Sickles; Miss Prentice, Mr. Gregory and Mu. Hewes were asked to act as faculty advisors. During the course of the year three plays were presented by the club as assembly programs. 'I’illes of the plays were as follows: “The Dust Of Pile Road . “Two Crooks and a Lady”, and “'Ihe Valiant.” The first two of these plays were directed by Alfred Williams, and the last by Bernardo Sauter. The following people took parts in these productions: Robcrlha Sickles. Rernarde Sauter, Alfred Williams, Norman Axenson, Knnmi Doran, Annella Dinnel, Samuel Sturgeon, Beryl llelnier. Joseph Maliar, Kdward Bergh, George Stevens, Donald Tillapaugh, Carl Dykeman, Thelma Jones, Rol� crl Calhoun, and Thomas Quigley. Lor tin first year a great deal has been accomplished along dramatic lines by the club, and those members who will be returning next year are looking forward to a continuance of this line of work. At the request of the State School Grange the play, “The Dust of the Road”, was repeated at the Grange meeting on Friday, March 17. 1 B.S.—A. I).

The annual Theta Gamma Convention was held last fall at Alfred on Novemlx'r 17, 18 and 19. At this convention we were well represented by active, honorary and alumni members. Our Alumnus, Arthur Lockrow and Carl Kaston, were elected to the offices of Grand Exalted Master and Vice-Grand 1Cxailed Master, respectively. Also the office of Grand Editor was filled again by our Honorary Member, G. 1). Gregory. On December 1st we had a benefit picture at the theatre with a short entertainment between shows. From this we realized a small profit. When we returned from Christmas vacation on January third, the active members and pledgees journeyed to Middleburgh to Smith's Restaurant for our Annual Kush Banquet. The next important event was the Fraternity Dance held January 27, after the Alumni basketball game. During last November Donah! Tillapaugh was taken into our bonds and also during the first part of February we initialed another group. This group consisted of Cecil Beers, Robert Wood, Leo Gageway and William Busch. This year two new fraternities were started on the Hill. We are very glad to have a little competition from these fraternities and we hope that they will continue in the years to come as well as they have this year. As a whole we have had a very profitable year from several standpoints. We have been well represented in nearly all school activities such as The Voice, Senior Flay, Parly-pro Speaking Contest, Grange Speaking Contest at Geneva, Fitting ('oil-test, and many other student activities. As a whole we wish to thank everyone lor their cooperation in helping to make this year a success and we extend our best wishes to next year's group and hope they will continue to be a success.

Some of the men dropped out for one reason or another hut a good sized squad remained throughout the entire season. As far as the scores were concerned much more could have been accomplished, hut as everyone knows a season’s success does not depend entirely on the score. The entire squad worked together and displayed excellent spirit throughout the year and this was more desirable than any in-crease in the numerical score. The squad’s pilot was Coach Moot and Kohert Miller was captain. It was with deep regret that we learned of the death of Fred Lamphcrc of Weeds-port. We lu re on the I (ill knew I'red as a true sportsman of the highest caliber, and join our friends of the west in mourning his passing. The awards for the 1932 season were as follows: Major letters Fdward Gre-gorka, Lawrence Ayres, Donald Scott, Percy Thompson, Clifford Bunting, Walter Schmidt, Fdward Kergh, Norman Axenson, Antonio Tueeeri, and John Kggcrs.

This year’s course was naturally a hard one and tin steady rain before and during the race did not help matters. In spite of the hard fining, a new course record of 17 minutes 'M seconds was made for the Stale School course by Beckham of Grand Gorge High. Iliis year's course was ! miles long and covered everything from tall grass and weeds to fresh plowed ground. Burnt Hills—Ballston Lake High repealed last year’s work and captured team honors. Other schools represented were Gohlcskill High. Bine Plains, Sehenevus High. Grand Gorge High and Delanson. This year State School was represented hv a team of their own. composed of Donald Kekerson, Howard Basliford, Norman Axenson and Joseph Tinning. The Aggie team made a very good showing for their first attempt in this sport. Much credit is due to Manager Glenn BolT and Coach H. L. Wheeler for the careful selection and training of the Stale School team. The two cross country meets held at State so far have proved more than satisfactory and everyone is looking forward to meets of coming years. I). K. K. [ ] ‘Boys’ Basketball The State School Basketball Squad completed the sixteenth year of basketball in the history of the school by playing sixteen games. This was undoubtedly the hardest schedule ever played by State and when the season closed the squad had established a record to be proud of. This veal's squad was characterized In excellent passwork and team work. The Aggies' defense was air tight under the basket and practically all ot the opponents score came as a result of long shots, made from outside our live man defense. Next year s arsity will be considerably handicapped by the loss of Niven. Ko-tunda. Stark, an ranken and Wolfe. These men are all seniors and gave faithfully of their time and effort during their stay on the Hill. This year the squad was again coached by Mr. Wheeler and words cannot express the boys' appreciation for all that he has done for us.
