Before me. partly covered by mud. I noticed an object. Picking it up and brushing the mud and mire from it. I found it to be a crystal, probably dropped by a Gypsy Queen. I gazed into its mystic debts and there I beheld in vision the future destiny of the Senior Class of 34.” Our former Class-President. Robert Miller, after sailing the seven seas of life has finally settled on a Fruit Farm in the North. We understand growing of Crab-Apples is his specialty. Louise Kline, formerly Mrs. Lawrence Ayres, has again changed her profession. and now we see her as a Director of a Dancing School at Mount Upton. As we gaze further into the crystal we see Windy” busily using his State School milking ability on his Dairy Farm in Kimberton. Penn. His farm is known to be one of the largest in that state. Dutchy Day. formerly Mrs. Herbert Miller, has established a residence at Reno. She has been seen in company with a former State School Aggie, Jack Langford. John Jackson, the famous State School story-teller, is plainly seen at the desk in his writing room, writing a book on. “His Mother’s Greatest Mistake. The crystal also shows us Clif Bunting and his wife, Betty Gaylord, a former State School student, now Superintendent of Napanoch Prison Farm at Warwarsing, N. Y. Going down the Hudson a ways to Chappaucjua. we see a sign; C. Herbert Johnson and Son. Purebred Guernseys. Yes! they have two—Herbie. Jr. and little sister Thelma. We see Edith has at last found her one and only and is contently keeping house on a farm in the eastern part of the State. Going still deeper into the crystal we see Ken Cameron on his ranch in Montana. We understand he received his idea about cow punching during the Fitting Contest at State School. Who would have thought it.—Roger Briggs and family are seen in Washington, D. C. Roger was recently elected as a congressman. As we turn in on Television Station S. O. S.. whom do we see but our former class-mate. Edward Sydney, featuring a Tap-dance to the famous music of Al Williams and his Orchestra. Mr. Norman is also a member of this orchestra. Pete Van Wormer has just received a medal for the Champion cow milker of the world. He is still a bachelor. As we gaze across the field we see Foster Buhrmaster plowing with a new streamline tractor. Foster is proud inventor of this apparatus. We see a very clear picture of our pal Gertie who is now settled comfortably in a cottage in the North Country. She is busily mending George's” stockings. • THE 19 3 4 V 0 I C E • Still further I gaze into the crystal and whom do I see but Lillian Pearson, known as Blondie.” now busily caring for some of the members of the Broken Heart Club” of State School. Next we see a couple of State School’s most popular students. Sarah and “Bernie,” now featuring on the stage. Cow College Romance. Mabel Robinson, the girl who always went back, has just finished her course of Home Economics abroad. Robia has retired from Nursing and has sailed on the ocean liner. N. Y. S S. A. to join Gilbert White in Russia. Pete Hampton, our dashing young Romeo, has at last found another “center of interest.” He is now busy experimenting on crossing apples with nuts to take the place of apple seeds. We understand Carl Dykcman is assisting him. We next see a large billboard with the following advertisement: For Sale, Purebred Brown Swiss Cattle and Honey. Donald Tillapaugh and Sons, owners. We understand Don has gone into farming in a big way. Carl Levey has finally given up the idea of farming and gone in for bigger money. Carl and Leon Abrahamson are now seen on the stage featuring one of the greatest hits of the time; “Mutt and jeff in the “Comedians of 54.’ Now as we look farther North at Bull Hill we see George jakeway and his faithful companion. Mussey. busy hoeing corn. The brilliant bracelet he wore at State School still adorns his wrist. George Stevens has long since taken over the Mechanics Department at State School. We see him busy trying to teach Leo Gageways youngest son how to drive tractors as his father did. What do we see flashing by but a combination airship with milk carriers rattling. This is none other than Jerry” Heath. State School’s woman hater, on his way to deliver milk. Whom do wc see next but Norman Axenson, editor of the “Poultry Journal, speaking before an audience at Farm and Home Week at State School. “Bill Borst also has a son attending State School to receive knowledge like his daddy use to. He goes by the name of William J. Borst, Jr. and can say Mr. Hcwcs like the old man use to. We wonder if certain chromosomes caused this? Just a minute, the crystal shows us a couple other of State School students, happily settled on a farm in the North Country.” Yes! you’re right, it’s Ruth and Tommy . How realistic are the changing scenes! How clear the vision! How life-like and familiar the figures. This was a dream I had a few years ago in which I dreamt of the future of the ’34 class. 11 seemed very strange to me then and seems even stranger to me now since all the wonderful visions in the dream have come true. R. L. B. P. E. T.- THE 19 3 4 VOICE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY As our ship comes into port in our graduating year, we would like to look back on our voyage and remember some of the good times we had together. It seems so long ago we look back to the fall of October. 1931 when we. as freshmen, entered State School as students in Agriculture and Home Economics. After the first half term and the true freshmen remained we found we had the following officers: Gilbert White, president; Robert Miller, vice-president; Clifford Bunting, treasurer; and Edward Hampton, secretary. Something this class should be remembered for is the fact that they donated the balance of their treasury to the student loan fund In the fall of 1932 we arrived at State School under the title of Juniors. The class was organized with the following leaders: Robert Miller, president; George Stevens, vice-president; Edward Hampton, secretary; jerold Heath, treasurer; student council members. Gilbert White. Clifford bunting, and Donald Tillapaugh. Who of that class will ever forget the memorable night we spent at the Bear Gulch on a overnight skating party, a night of terror and fun The class was organized with Robert Miller, president. Gilbert White, vice-president; Ruth Baucus. secretary; Alfred Williams, treasurer; and Mr. Moot, faculty advisor, for the spring semester. We gave a party in February, which was enjoyed by all. In the month of April we broke up to work on farms. In the fall of our senior year Robert Miller was elected president; Ruth Baucus. vice-president; Bernarde Sauter. secretary; Alfred Williams, treasurer; and Mr. E. Hewes our faculty advisor. A party was given on a Thursday night in December to which the entire school was invited The last half of the senior year Robert Miller was president; Ruth Baucus. vice-president; Louise Kline, secretary; Percy Thompson, treasurer. The class produced as their senior play “Memory LaneThis was given on April 13th. During the school year the senior class sponsored many dances, many of these were held after the basketball games. A.

After a hard summer of field work and reports, we came back to school with a higher aim. We elected the following officers for our first term: William Busch, president: David Baker, vice-president; Donald Baucus. secretary; and Robert Houghton, treasurer, with William Busch. David Baker and Joseph Tinning student council members. Joseph Tinning was our class reporter and Mr. Hodder was chosen as our faculty advisor for both the fall and spring terms. In January the class was reorganized with many new members from two year Aggie’’ and Eccers. We elected William Busch, president; Leon Rosen, vice-president; Ruth Peck, secretary; Stewart Cristman. treasurer, with William Miller. Ernest Hilpertshauser, and William Schreiber student council members. Frank Stephens was chosen as class reporter. When class games came around we did our best to win. We won in two games against the Seniors and one against the Freshmen. We finally lost to the freshmen in a play-off game which gave them the class championship. Summer is just around the corner again. We are going to work and WORK; then return to finish the turning of that Key and hope to end our life here on the Hill with happy memories. We wish the best of success to the present graduating class as they depart to the various parts of the compass to complete the remaining chapters of their lives. J.T. F.

It seems only a short time ago, back in September, 1931, that the first Home Economics members of the Class of '34. started as freshmen at State School. The opening of the school year in September 1931, marked the first year of the two-year course. On Tuesday. September 8, 1931, twenty five girls enrolled in the one and two-year courses. Shortly after the beginning of the first semester, one member dropped out. followed by two more who did not return after the Christmas recess, bringing the total down to twenty-two. 11 was with eager anticipations that we returned in '33 to resume our studies on the Hill and see how many of the old members had returned, but we are sorry to say there were only four; two from the number who entered in ’31, Grctchcn Day and Mabel Robinson, and two from the entering class of ’32, Ruth Baucus and C. Louise Kline. The entering class in Home Economics on Tuesday. September 5, 1933, numbered twenty. Of this number, three left school during the first semester and on February 1. 1934. one of our members. Robia Cole left to enter training in The Massachusetts General Hospital at Boston. It was with sincere regret that we saw her leave but we all wish her much success in her chosen profession. With the opening of the second semester on January 29, 1934, two new members. Margaret Barsam and Susanne Bowie joined our ranks, bringing the total to twenty two. The reorganization of the Home Economics Club took place in September with the following officers; President, Ruth Baucus; vice president. Hilda Rathbun; secretary. Lillian Pearson; treasurer. Olive Reed. Our faculty advisors are the Misses Prentice. Flansburg. Griffin, McMcnemy and Taber. • the 19 3 4 VOICE Rckl Projt Wm.

The routine of classes was broken up by several interesting trips. The senior class in bacteriology visited the Sheffield Milk plant at Coble-skill. The Senior Fruit class attended the State Horticultural Convention at Kingston, N. Y. The Junior Livestock class visited several nearby Dairy farms to judge cattle. During Farm and Home week the seniors and juniors helped to make it a success by their exhibits in Livestock, Fruit, Bacteriology. Poultry and Agricultural Chemistry. At the end of the school year the Senior Livestock students expect to take a trip to the Walker Cordon farms at Plainfield, N. j. One of the big things accomplished this year was the fitting and showing contest where many practical ideals were gained by all the students. The senior aggie boys extend their best wishes to the freshmen, and junior aggies, students of State School and hope they will gain as much fun and practical knowledge as they did. The Agricultural year at State School has been very successful. P. B. Or R.

Its primary purpose is to serve as a laboratory in which the students taking courses in Child Study may observe the children and also work directly with them In addition the nursery school affords many advantages for the preschool child as well as providing opportunities for parents to learn more about behavior problems of young children and how to meet such problems. During the first term, the nursery school was in session four mornings a week from 9:00 to 1 1 :1 5. At the beginning of the second term, the nursery school was put on full time schedule, running three days a week from 9:00 to 3:00. Upon arrival in the morning all the children are inspected by a registered nurse and any child showing symptoms of any disease or a cold is excluded from the group and taken home. The daily nursery school schedule includes routines such as eating, sleeping, dressing, washing and toilet as well as regular play periods. At the beginning of the school year the age range of the four girls and four boys attending the school was from two years, five months to four years, two months. The older children often play in a group by themselves as their interests are more specialized than that of the younger children. The value and need of the nursery school are set forth in the following paragraphs. In the first place, students have opportunities to carry out child guidance theories in actual practice. They develop an understanding and appreciation of the preschool child and his needs, and the importance of environment and adult attitudes In the second place, the children learn to share their toys with each other; to take turns with play equipment; and to develop desirable habits in eating, sleeping, and other routines. Lastly, but not the least important, the parents learn more about their child by observing his activities and behavior in the nursery school Good habits in eating, sleeping, toilet, washing, dressing and play tend to carry over to the home situation; particularly, when parents understand some of the primary principles which the nursery school undertakes to demonstrate and interpret. • THE 19 3 4 V 0 I C E • Milk Cleveland Conlicld Daucus Miller Holmes Van Wormer Johnson Slcjihcns Jensen Mr. Day Tillapaugh Heath Busch Mr. Gregory THETA CAMMA EPSILON Last October, five members returned to school with intentions of making this year the best in the history of Theta Gamma at this school. The annual Theta Gamma Convention was held last fall at Delhi on November 17, 18. and 19. At this convention we were well represented by alumni, active and honorary members, our alumni elected into offices are: Carl Easton as Grand Exalted Master, Arthur Lockrow as Vice Exalted Master, and Jeremiah Lasher as Chaplain. On November I, Peter VanWormer, Donald liaucus, Charles Cleveland and Robert Jenson were taken into our bonds. On our return from our Christmas Vacation we held our annual Rush Party at our Fraternity room after which refreshments were served at the cafeteria. Our largest event was our Fraternity Dance held on February 3, after the Alumni basketball game. During the month of February. Richard Johnson, Charles Holmes, Frank Stephens, Robert Milk, Averill Canfield and Walter Miller were taken into our bonds. We extend our congratulations to the other Fraternities, on the hill, for their good progress. We think that the competition will make the Fraternities far better than could be expected without it. 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. Grange Speaking Contest at Lake Placid. Fitting Contest, Football and many other activities. We wish at this time to extend our hearty thanks to everyone for helping us to make this year such a big success. We also extend our best wishes to next year's group and hope they will have a still more successful year than this one. • THE 19 3 4 V 0 I c E • THETA GAMMA Founded in 1912 Active Chapters ALPHA........................Canton DELTA .......................Delhi BETA....................Morrisville EPSILON ................Coblcskill GAMMA .......................Alfred ZETA ..................Farmingdale Colors—Black and Gold Publications—Theta Gamma Bulletin Songs—The Black and the Gold.

Since that time we have initiated William Miller, William Churchill. Charles Ahlf, Robert Morris, Albert Lawrence, John Dodds. Harold Durland, Charles Kutchera and Kenyon Todd. We used the Football room for our fraternity room the last two months of school. Friday, February 23, we held our Second Annual Zeta Alpha Phi Ball. There were fifty-five couples on the floor. The dance was considered one of the greatest successes at school. April 17, we will hold our second annual Banquet. We believe, that we. as a body, have had a prosperous and successful year. Our members are in practically all school activities such as: Football, Basketball, Voice. Cheer-leaders, Parly-Pro speaking contest. Senior Class play. Fitting Contest, Orchestra, Dramatic Club, Cross Country, Student Council, Senior Class officers, Grange. Athletic Council and others. Our Activities were supported by the student body and the other two fraternities, so we take this time to thank everyone for their helping to make this year a real success. We also wish the members to come, all the success possible and hope they will carry out their work to the end. • THE 19 3 4 VOICE ZETA ALPHA PHI Active Chapters Alpha, Canton, Installed 1914 Beta.

Only one of last year’s varsity squad returned this year and Coach Wheeler was forced to build up an entirely new team. Considering this, their record is one of which we can be justly proud. The new team worked smoothly and fast; and won the first six games in rapid-fire order. But, when Hartwick College stopped our winning streak; it started a mid-season slump. The boys tried hard to overcome it but hard luck and tough breaks were against them. Some close games were lost; two of them overtime periods. However, the team won enough others to keep our average well up and on the winning side of the column. Perhaps the outstanding point about the Aggies this year was their sport-manship whether winning or losing. May the teams that carry on for State in the future, have the same spirit and fight as this year’s team had. and may they bring back as many victories to her. The Squad R. L.

This year's course, slightly varied from last year, was duly just as hard. The course, as before, was more like a steeplechase; through tall grass, through creeks, over fences, and ploughed ground. The two and nine-tenths mile course was covered in the fast time of 1 5 minutes and 49 seconds by our own representative, Norman Axenson.

Many schools from the surrounding area and from the nearby territory were present. This year State School was represented by Norman Axenson. joseph Tinning. Richard Johnson. Percy Thompson. Albert Lawrence. Albert Davis, and Edward Krausse. All of the meets held so far have been successful and have proved to be more than satisfactory. The student body is now looking forward to many more years of such meets and the possible chance of having a team to compete in more than one meet during the year. • THE 193 4 V 0 I c E • ( i ) ( , l i n c n n n n 0 H E OS STUDENTS AND ALUMNI arc the school's most efficient advertising mediums.

Cobleskill, New York Our Very Best Wishes to the Class of 'u All individual photos in this book made by REIGHTMYER Reightmyer Studio Cobleskill, New York INTERPRETED I had traveled the streets of New York, Boston. Philadelphia; stood in Union Square, on “The Common and “Franklin Square,” had listened to our collection of catabolistic orators, my what ideas they have. My instincts moved me and—why. I was hungry! I wanted to work—really work. Why are things like they are? I have thought this predicament over and over and really what can I do? I used to be a secretary. I wonder. Meridan, Bridgeport, Water-bury. Derby and Bristol. Perhaps these small 42 industrial towns in New England occasionally employ an outsider. Why didn’t I become a policeman, they still work. Days and weeks of tramping New England towns, finally a man who seemed unduly wise urged me to seek employment in rural communities. Surely a wiseman’s advise cannot be overlooked. I started for the west as fully prepared to meet conditions as I had for five years. Thirsty and tired with a fatiguing journey across New' York State, I left the main for a side, shaded lane. I had the good fortune to discover a spring, and the refreshing draught cooled my parched throat. I realized then how little of luxury nature requires. This cooling stream administered more relief than all the wines of Oporto; I drank and was satisfied; my fatigue abated, my wasted spirit was reinforced, and it is no wonder after such a quench that I sank insensibly into slumber. The wildest fancies in that state of forgetfulness always appear regular and connected; nothing is wrong in a dream, be it ever so unnatural. I am apt to think that the wisest men dream the most inconsistently. Compliments of LOY'S FORD V-8 COBLESKILL SALES CO.

But to return from my digression, which in this place is nothing more than that wandering of the fancy which every dreamer is entitled to. and cannot in either case be applied to myself, as in the dream I am about to relate. I was only a spectator, and had no other business to do than to remember. To what scene or country my ideas had conveyed themselves or whether they had created a region on purpose to explore. I know not. but I saw before me one of the most pleasing landscapes I have ever be held. I gazed at it until my mind partaking of the prospect became incorporated and felt all the tranquility of the place. In this state of ideal happiness I sat down on the side of the mountain, totally forgetful of the world I had left behind me. The most delicious fruits presented themselves to my hands, and one of the clearest rivers that ever flowed on the earth’s surface, rolled along at the foot of the mountain, and invited me to drink. The distant hills were blue with the tincture of the sky. and seemed as if they were the threshold of the celestial region. But while I gazed, the whole scene began to change, by an almost insensible gradation. The sun. instead of administering life and health, consumed everything with an intolerable heat. The 44 hills appeared scared and burnt. The foun tains dried away, and the atmosphere be came a motionless lack of air loaded with pestilence and death. After several days of untold suffocation, the sky grew dark with clouds from every quarter, till one extended storm excluded the face of heaven. A dismal silence took place, as if the earth, struck with a general panic, was listening like a criminal to the sentence of death The glimmering light with which the sun feebly penetrated the clouds began to fail, till Stygian darkness added to the horror. The beginning of the tempest was announced by a distant confusion of thunders, until at length a general discharge of the heaven’s artillery poured down upon the earth. Trembling. I shrank into a cave dreading the event. The mountain shook, the earth gave forth violent tremors. I feared destruction, the end. The rapid zigzag of lightning torches revealed a world on fire, the accumulating torrents not rain but floods of water, threatened a deluge. COBLESKILL G KEENHOUSES A.

Prof. At length the fury of the storm abated, nature fatigued with fear and watching sank into rest, but when the morning rose and the universal lamp in heaven emerged from the deep. I was struck with astonishment! I expected to see a world in ruins, which nothing but a new creation could have restored. Instead, the prospect was lovely and inviting, and really had the appearance of exceeding its former glory. The air, free of its poisonous vapors was fresh and healthy, the dried fountains replenished and bubbling over with the sweet and wholesome water. The sick earth was abundant with vegetation. Plow bottoms scraped contentedly over fields of plenty. What I had dreaded as an evil, became a blessing. At this happy reflection I awoke! Refreshing myself with another draught from my friendly spring I took up my journey trying to connect what I had dreamt. After traveling a short distance I joined a man and we continued together. To rid the monotony of tramping I started to chat, one thing leading to another until I related my dream. I think, replied my friend, that I can interpret it for you. That beautiful country you saw is America. The sickly state you beheld her in has been here for the last five years. Her commerce, trade and manufac- SHAFF.R'S BARBER SHOP Over Empire Restaurant Main Stkhut Com.iiSKii.L, Nhw York HOME STEAM LAUNDRY Cobleskill, New York turing has been drying up from fear, and repeated restriction. The pestilant atmosphere represents the corrupt exhalations of crooked bankers, politicians and men whose hands hold the estates and destinies of the surging millions. The storm clears the atmosphere. She will arise with new glories from her conflict and her fame reestablished in the far reaching corners of the globe. We have not chosen this, but have been driven in. We plead our case to a higher court; the court of everyman’s conscience and with the aid of providence may we rise with strength, new learning and the corruption of the government courts and politics abated forever. 46 STUDENT BODY i R.
