THE VOICE l 9 : 5 ALMA MATER Published by the Students of the Cobleskill School of Agriculture and Home Economics Cobleskill, N. Y. -19 3 5 VOLUME XIII f R c ' ■ L'- FOREWORD As tin's thirteenth annual issue of the Voice is offered for your •approval, we are at the same time presenting a revision of cheiv ished memories at State School. We of the Voice staff have car' ried out our tasks and have striven to put forth the best that is in us. We appreciate the invaluable aid given us by Mr. Gregory and many of our seemingly impossible tasks have been made sui-' prisingly easy with his guidance. We hope that this hook will be the medium through which we can renew our friendships and become more closely joined together with State School and her Alumni. The Voice Staff of nineteen hundred and thirty-five take great pleasure in dedicating this thirteenth Annual to Frank H. Ryder, who has served as a member of the Board of Trustees (1921-26), and has taken an active interest in the school since it was organized. I le originated the Frank H. Ryder prize for Seniors in agriculture, which has always been a much desired award by the graduating students. i CONTENTS ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ORGANIZATIONS ATHLETICS ADVERTISEMENTS ADMINISTRATION LEE W.

Now it appears with a rush and we realize how unworthy we are to stand boldly forth as graduates. Life faces us; around the corner is an opportunity for every one. As wc survey the present generation, we find that we are setting up better rec-ords than our predecessors did at our age. When we go out on our own to take charge of affairs v c will not he found unprepared, hut ready to make our future life a success as we did at school. Our life here is ended and we realize that our stay has been short. Happy are the memories of our pranks, our activities and our friends. These good times on the Hill will bring us hack to the pleasant thoughts of State School, and will give us new hope and life when the going seems hard and rough. We of the Voice Staff wish to thank all of you for the support you have given us in the publication of our monthly issues and the Annual. Our do' sire has been to maintain, and, if possible, to surpass the standards set by the Voice Staffs of the past. We wish the incoming staff the best of luck and hope that they can carry on in the face of any obstacles that arise. The Class of 1935 hid good-bye to the school, the faculty, and the remaining students. We hope that the prospective Juniors and Seniors will make the most of their slay here at school and carry on in the manner of previous classes.

Eighty-four green, trusting young people came to Cobleskill to enroll in Home Economics and Agriculture and Teach-er Training. At the beginning of the second term the class had dwindled down to only seventeen. At this time the officers were elected. President, Aldcn Payne; Vice-president, Herbert Miller; Secretary, Donald Baucus; Treasurer, Bill Busch; and Student Council Representative, Robert Jensen. 1934. The second year was marked by the arrival of more two-year students. Bill Busch was elected president; Leon Rosen, Vice-president; Ruth Peck, Secretary; Stewart Christman, Treasurer; Bill Miller, Ernest Hil-pertshauser and Bill Schreibcr represented us on the Student Council. We were poison to the other classes in athletics, despite the fact that the football and basketball teams were comprised of mostly athletes from our class. This year, 1935, being our last, we decided to really show our mettle. We started out by giving the first party, which was the envy of all the other classes. In inter-class tournaments we were invincible. We elected Frank Stephens, President; Hanton Reid, Vice-president; Lillian Pearson, Secretary, and Barbara Ward, Treasurer. Donald Baucus, David Baker, Richard Johnson, Walt Miller, Winfield Taylor, Deline Van Patten and Robert Houghton represented the class on the Student Council. The girls’ Student Council representatives were Miss Pearson, Edna Chase and Hilda Rathbun. In summing up our history, we can say that we have a class that has been successful in all its undertakings, a class that has attained a high scholastic standing, and wc hope we have a class that has set a mark for future classes as their goal.

THE VOICE I 9 :i 5 List night after struggling through a strenuous State School supper and after rolling in bed for several hours, I was finally wafted away in the arms of Morpheus. I dreamed. I dreamed that I was meeting my State School classmates ten years hence. The first person I met was “Dave Baker. He had a worried look on his face and was talking to himself. He said, The women still don’t understand me. Some day they'll appreciate their Uncle Dave.” Next I saw Barbara Ward. She was very happy for she had her own little white house with green shutters which she had planned all herself. Lo and behold! Who was crawling on the floor but a curly rcd'hcadcd little hoy, whom she called Richard Junior. She told me Dick was a professional Jack of all Trades”, as he found one job to he very boring. Suddenly, I found myself in one of the best known theatres in Schenectady. Much to my surprise, who should step on the platform for a performance hut Lee” Rosen, impersonating Schnozzlc Durante. I was surprised to hear him utter exactly the same words as he did in State School That’s my roommate” and there was Bill Miller coming down the aisle ushered by Kutschcra. Bill evidently was bringing the wife and children to the theater to see his pal as well as other State School classmates, now on the stage. The next one to appear on the stage was Bobby Milk, accompanied by his Hayseeder Gang”. Boh gave an excellent jig to the familiar tune of “Turkey in the Straw”, played by Freddie Mczger on his mouth-organ. I soon found myself drifting away from the theater and out into the country. I heard the sound of a tractor near me and looking around I recognized my old pal Hilda” driving it. She told me she preferred the outdoor farm work to housekeeping. She invited me to the house and 1 was amazed at the delicious meal “Slcwic” had cooked. 1 wasn't surprised to find her two small boys fighting over a basketball. She told me she hoped to have enough hoys to make up a good basketball team. She also told me Taylor and Jane lived on a farm near by. She said that one of Jane’s problems was teaching “Sweetie Pie” how to he a Pal. Next, I heard music and laughter and found myself sitting in a cabaret. Here I recognized a few more of State School's talented students. Virginia Macon acted as hostess. The music, which was very hot, was led by none other than “Cookie” Weaver, while his pal “Babe” Schreiber took the part of the giggilo. He was surrounded on all sides by beautiful women. You should sec the look of satisfaction on his face. “Pete” Lupkus also look a part in the cabaret and quite an important one, too, for he was the chief cocktail mixer. A floor show attracted me next and there was “Dottie” Stcucrwald, who had just returned from the Hawaiian Islands, where she had learned the real Native Dance. I found that she had improved considerably since her last performance at State School. As I glanced over the guests present, I happened to see a familiar face at the next table. Could it he Don” Baucus of all people in this cabaret? Yes, it was. I asked him how fanning was prospering and he informed me that he had just retired after ten years of strenuous farm work and he was going to take life easy for a while. He said he expected to make a trip to Florida soon in his new sixteen cylinder Dodge sedan, hut not alone. Imagine my surprise lo find that this big HE-MAN had become matrimonially inclined. After leaving the cabaret 1 found myself in my new Ford V-8 speeding away on the highway. Some huge vehicles were coining toward me. Looked like a traveling circus. Sure enough! And on the billboards read, LARGEST FLEA CIRCUS IN THE WORLD, operated by STEVIE STEPHENS. Right away I wondered how I might get in touch with him to talk over old times. All of a sudden there was a i in-: voicio i 9 •'� •”� crash. Some one had hit my car and after regaining consciousness who do you suppose 1 found the road'hugger to be? Stevie! His first words were, “Wots a mat! That's the third car I've hit tonight. Guess I II have to trade my Chevrolet in and get a Ford.” He told me everything would he O K. as long as we were both insured. Immediately, he told me how successful the circus business was, especially after he had hired Lee Ducll and “Hannie” Reid as clowns, Walt Miller as lion tamer, and Marks on the flying trapeze. He also said that “Muzzy and Van Patten worked for him, too. Muzzy carried the water for the elephants, and Van was Stevie's book' keeper. Stevie told me had just made a trip out west and he had met Billy Busch, who owned a ranch out there. Billy's hobby was taming wild horses. 1 told Stevie I would like to see one of his performances hut 1 still had a long journey ahead of me. I had to have the car towed to the next place, which, by the way, was a small farm. I rapped on the door. Goodness! Another one of State School's couples. Marguerite and Joe Tinning. We had a merry time talking over old times She and Joe were in the Greenhouse Business and Broom was Joe's partner. As a side line, Marguerite told me she raised chickens, too, and each year she took her prize llock u the county fair, where she had been successful in getting first prize each year. She told me “Charlie”, her brother, was comfortably settled on a farm uo in my neck of the woods, “Cambridge”. She asked me why I didn't stop in the next village to see Olive Reed, Willeon and Adel I, who were in charge of the nursery there. Olive had sole charge of the nursery, while Willeon cooked the meals and Adell sewed the infants' clothes. I was very interested to hear about their success, but told Marguerite I'd visit them when I had more time. After Joe had repaired my car, I was soon on my way again and it was not long before I was up north. I went through Schuylerville and being very hungry I decided to stop and cat. I found myself in a very attractive place called “Lazy Daisy Inn.” A blonde waiter came toward me “Billy” Burdick. I immediately looked to see if the other half was here, and sure enough as I peeked into the kitchen there was my old pal “Irmy . She did all the cooking while Billy waited on table. I certainly enjoyed the delicious meal that Irmy had cooked. Of course, she told me more news. “Robia and “Gil” had at last found a dairy farm on the suburbs of Greenwich. Robia was very busy doing the cooking, etc., besides doing some practical nursing in the town of Greenwich. Irmy said that Mary Davies had just been in town, giving lectures on “How to Cook and Run a Successful Restaurant and Cafeteria. Ernie Hilnerthauser was Mary's chauffeur and also caretaker of her litter of Scottie dogs. While 1 was eating my dinner, Welsh and Stan. Philips, the best known plumbers in town, came in for their daily meal. Irmy turned on the radio and I heard a clarinet solo by Churchill, and a Hawaiian guitar solo by Munson. 1 appreciated the music very much. Time was Hying fast and 1 found myself on my way again. It was not long before 1 met another familiar face on the road and that was Burke He had a pack on his back and I asked him where he was headed. Fie said he was going north to find some snow so he could go snow-shoeing. Next, I headed for the Greenwich Airport, where I saw a sign, “Special Rates to the Hawaiian Islands. This being a long desired trip, it did not take me long to hop m the plane. While on the way, something happened to the plane and 1 was forced to jump Irom the plane with a parachute tied on my hack. I landed on the earth with an awful thud and the next moment I found myself lying on the floor in the Dorm. What a disappointment! THE WILL In the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and thirty-five, we, the Senior Class of the Cobleskill School of Agriculture and Home Economics in the village of Go-blcskill, town of Cobleskill, county of Schoharie, now having reached our dcstina-tion, still being mentally awake and morally straight, do hereby ordain and establish this our will and testament to be executed as follows: 1.

IMiwiin Another year has quickly passed, and looking hack we are able to give an account of ourselves. This is our second year at State School and we still have the same hope and enthusiasm with which we began. At our first meeting this year we elected the following officers: President, Ernest Riegel; vice-president, William Burdick; secretary, Charles Ahlf; and treasurer, Kenyon Todd. Mr. Hodder was asked to act as faculty advisor. During the first term the inter-class games were unsuccessful as far as the Juniors were concerned. In January, however, a number of two-year men entered our class and our teams became a success. The team was composed of Howard Boice, captain; Charles Ahlf, Warren Heath, Kenneth Cook, Neal Wilklow and Gordon Harris. When the class reorganised in January, we elected the following as officers for the new year: President, Charles Ahlf; vice-president, William Burdick; treasurer, George Campbell; secretary, Jean MacDowell. Student Council members are Kenneth Swann, Frank Muziker and Arno Bebcrnitz. Although we have failed in a few parties, we have earnestly worked hard in trying to make this year a success. We extend our sincere wishes to the Senior Class. May the best of luck come to them now and in the future. W. L. H. 16 .'I' 'ivr. Mu .ikoi'. IliipfH. Illiir . Miiiimoii. «5;n ry Wilkloxv. TltnrlinK.

S� roll On October first, last year, there began to Hock to Suite School many new students, who had come from different parts of the state seeking golden knowledge in agriculture and home economics. During the first two weeks of school the new members had to keep their eyes open for upper classmen. These upper classmen were eager to Uike the new members for a ride in the country and leave them to view the scenery walking home. An election of officers was held at the first meeting in October, as fob lows: Howard Buicc, president; Warren Heath, vice-president; Peggy Bar-sam, secretary; Francis Slaughter, treasurer: and John Thurling, Voice reporter. Our first problem was to face and obey Freshmen rules handed down by the Student Council. These rules were rejected by many members, who served out hard labor for disobeying them. Just before Christinas vacation the Freshmen sponsored a very successful party. Dancing and playing games were enjoyed by all. Refreshments were served at the end of the evening. At the beginning of the second term the class dwindled down to eighteen members, the reason being that many had joined the other classes, according to their course of study. At the next meeting the following officers were elected: Francis Miller, president; James Weiss, vice-president; Richard Mimroe, secretary; Frank Benson, treasurer and Voice reporter; and Garland Hines, Student Council representative. Many members of our class took active part in sports and other organizations at State School. We wish to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to our faculty advisor, Mr. Gregory, for all his assistance and advice given to our class. F. D. B.

The following members were elected to the Student Council by the various classes: Senior class representatives, Barbara Ward, Lillian Pearson and Hilda Rathbun; Junior class, Edna Chase; Freshman class, Gertrude Evans. The following members were elected to act as officers of the Council: Barbara Ward was elected president; Edna Chase, secretary. Miss Chase also represented the girls living downtown. Under the guidance of Miss Ward, the Freshmen rules were adopted and put into force. These officers held their offices throughout the year. Due to the fact that Gertrude Evans left school, the Freshman class elected Evelyn Stroh to represent them in the Council. E. M. C. For the first half of the year the following members were elected to the Boys’ Student Council by the various classes: Senior class representatives, Donald Baucus, Frank Stephens, Richard Johnson, David Baker and Robert Houghton. From the Junior class, the following were elected: George Campbell, William Burdick and Arnold Hcden: and from the Freshmen class there were none. Under the guidance of the Student Council, the Freshmen rules were revised and enforced the first term. In January new faces appeared on the Council. This was due to changes in classes. The class representatives for tin's term were as follows: Walter Miller, Winfield Taylor, Deline Van Patten, Frank Stephens, Richard Johnson, Frank Muzikcr, Arno Bcbcrnitz and Garland Hines. The Student Council had a very successful year, due to the splendid cooperation of the faculty and the student body. INTER-FRATERNITY COUNCIL Wm. filler. Mi-. Dlrnelor OlHomlen. CjuiuiImOI.

We had some of the finest songs to sing, such as “Walking in a Winter Wonder Land”, and “Anchors A weigh”, which were of no cost to the mei� ' hers. Our only lack during the year was that many of the members didn’t come out regularly. It is hoped that the start that the club has secured thus far will help out next year’s Glee Club. F. I). B.

The organization has read and discussed plays, given demonstrations on the use of stage make-up, and talks on stage presence and general information concerning the production of a play, at their regular meetings. Each member had the opportunity to indicate his major interest; acting, lighting, costuming and properties, scenery, make-up and directing were the chosen fields of the group. The members were divided into groups and three one-act plays were chosen. These were presented at a guest night program. The club has also chosen a standard pin which will be used each year by the members. ORATORICALS Stci li n . Jiiiicm. UicK’ l. t'levciainl. Alilf Iti'iinliiKlon. liin' low.

(Tsirol Olivi-r, IfcirlKim Ward IMcliard VsinN xs The nursery school has had a successful year so far with six children in attendance. Under the able supervision of Miss Ila MacLeod and the assistance of the group of girls taking Child Study, the children have had many happy trips to the barns and enjoyed playing out-of-doors and in the nursery school room with shiny new blocks and other equipment. The children’s program includes examination by the nurse on arriving, outdoor play, fruit juice, quiet play in the morning just before dinner, dinner, an afternoon nap, and the dismissal. Nursery school lias been held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. The school is not only a great benefit to the children and their parents, but offers a good opportunity to the girls interested in Child Study, as it gives them actual opportunity for practice along with their study. We are fortunate to have such a course, which is increasing in demand and interest. R. C. .Miss l'r � i)tk‘ -. Munlofit. Howli . I!. X«-xi«hi. simli Kilmoixls. ISiirsoiM. Slfm-rwiikl.

The oiHcers were: Virginia Macon, president; Lillian Pearson, vice-president; Vera Bigelow, treasurer; Jean Mac Dowell, secretary. Regular meetings were held every two weeks. The first meetings of each month were business meetings and the second ones, social meetings. Among our activities were the annual get-acquainted party at the beginning of the first term, an afternoon tea to which we invited the girls of the Senior class of the Cobleskill High School. The Home Economics Club had charge of the program held after the Speaking Contest, a Home Economies dance, and a hay ride. We feel that by having a Home Economics Club, we girls are able to enjoy group activities which makes the social life of the school more enjoyable. Macon agriculture liruoiiK , W. .Munson, Kricxon.

Several interesting field trips were taken by the different classes. The Senior fruit class attended the State Horticultural Convention at Kingston. The Senior poultry class made several trips to large poultry farms to study the different types and how each was managed. The Junior livestock class visited some of the leading dairy farms in Schoharie County. The Senior Ag. students did much to make Farm and Home Week a success by their exhibits and demonstrations. Wo can not forget the Freshmen boys. Up to the present time they have only been Frosh , hut the time now arrives when they shall pass into the Kingdom of Upperclassmen. We Seniors wish them the best of luck. This has been one of the best years for this department, and we regret to see it come to a close. R M. H The alumni, under the leadership of Lloyd Myers 2?, president. Wm. Massie 23, vice-president; George Danforth 33, secretary; Mrs. Lee Sherman 24, treasurer, and Mr. Hodder, faculty advisor, planned a very successful reunion at the State School at an alumni supper and dance, held the Saturday previous to Commencement. This year has seen many of the alumni back. The alumni panics, with the exception of the reunion, saw the most at any one time this year. The alumni did well by themselves at that time as they won both games. It seemed like old times to see Dutchy Day and Louise Kline playing basketball. Yes, and Al. Williams, George Stevens, Don. Tillapaugh and a host of unfamiliar faces were among those present. We. have always been glad to see the alumni back and we, the Seniors, hope the students feel that way about us next year when we join your ranks. R. C. Mr. WlKM'lei-, Jlargi'wiv s.

On November 3rd, we took our part in starting the ball rolling in the way of social functions by heartily co-operating with the other fraternities to put on the First Inter-Fraternity Ball. A convention between Alpha Chapter at Canton and ourselves was held on December 8th, at our school, which was very interesting, in that we learned what each other was doing. Grand officers were elected for the joint chapters for the coming year. During October, Jackson Townsend, Jr.; in January, Herbert Broome and Kenneth Swann; and in February, Frank Benson, were taken into our fraternal circle. Friday, January 25th, we held our Third Annual Zcta Aloha Phi Ball. This turned out to be a real social success, as all those attending remember. Our annual banquet was held on Saturday, April 6th, this year. We believe, that as a group we have been fairly successful this year, with our members taking pail in many school activities such as basketball, Voice, cheer leaders, Senior class play. Fitting Contest, orchestra, cross country, Student Council, Grange degree team, annual speaking contest, and others. Our circle extends its best wishes to the other two fraternities and the student body and thanks the fraternal organizations for the splendid support they have shown in sticking together, especially at the beginning of the year. Wc also wish our members for next year, all the success possible and that our work will be carried on. 11 o ward J. Cut I is Marvin D.

Mr. JIi-wex Lust October nine active members returned to school with every inten-cion of making this year the best in the history of Theta Gamma at this school. One of the first and most important events of the year was the Annual Theta Gamma Convention, held in Cobleskill on November 16th, 17th and 18th. Epsilon was the host. On Friday evening, November 16th, a con-vention dance was held in Fnsbic Hall. A banquet was held the following evening, at the “Right Place”. At this convention our alumni, Jeremiah Lasher, Douglas Waite and Donald Z. Terhune, were elected to the offices of Grand Exalted Master, Grand Editor, and Grand Alumni Secretary, re spectively. Early in January, Ernest Riegel and Peter Bcdzis were taken into our bonds, and also during the middle of February we initiated another group, consisting of Warren Heath, Cornelius Wilklow, Kenneth C x k, Gordon Harris, Frederick Cary and James Weiss. On January 30th we had a benefit picture at the Park Theater. From this we realized a small profit. The annual Theta Gamma dance was given on February 2nd, after the Alumni basketball game. It proved a great success, both financially and socially. There were two events in the latter part of the year. One of these, a minstrel, was given in assembly the latter part of March. The last being the annual Theta Gamma banquet, held on the evening of Class Day. As a whole this year has been very successful. We have been well rep-resented in most of the activities, as the Voice, basketball squad. Dramatic and Glee Clubs, the Parly-Pro Speaking Contest, the State Grange Speak' jng Contest at Niagara Falls. In the annual speaking contest Frank Stephens won first award, and Charles Cleveland, second. We wish the brothers, that we are leaving behind, a great deal of sue' cess in carrying on the traditions of Theta Gamma, which have been so ably upheld by members of former classes. To our brother fraternities, we wish to extend congratulations for the fine showing they have made since their inception at State School, and for the wholehearted co-operation made manifest whenever the occasion arose. May they increase in numbers and spirit to the better advancement of the students at State School. A. P. C.

The hoys had some hard races this year because the most of them had never done very much cross country running before. They did very well, for the teams that they ran against were very good teams. Although they were not first in placement of team, one of our men was up in one of the first three places every time, and a good share of the time he was in the lead 'till the last. It was only once that our real runner, Kenneth Swann, didn’t take second place. The course which they traveled over as a whole at the four meets was hilly and rough in places. The teams that we ran against this year were as follows: Monticcllo, Delhi, Worcester, Grand Gorge, Balscon Lake-Burnt Hills H. S., Little balls, Middlcville Falls, Rotterdam Jet., and Renssclacrvilie. The fourth annual cross country classic was held at State School on Saturday, November 10th. This year's course was 2.7 miles long and a very last one. Burnt Hills-Balston Lake High School again repeated its work by taking first place. There were many schools represented at this meet. As in pre-vious years a banquet was held, where the trophy was awarded and some very interesting speakers were heard. This year State School was represented by Kenneth Swann, Joseph Tinning, Richard Johnson, William Busch, Howard Boice, Edward Kraussc, Frank Benson, Garland Hines, Gordon Harris, Robert Metier and James Weiss.
