SUNY at Cobleskill - Voice Yearbook (Cobleskill, NY)

Text from Pages 1 - 68 of the 1938 volume:

Frank H. Schmid Editor-in-Chief Jens Johnson Business Manager Published by the Students of the Cobleskill School of Agriculture and Home Economics Wc, of the Voice staff, have attempted to write into these pages something of the State School spirit, so that the picture of its school days may never slip from the memory of the graduating class. We have attempted to present a panorama of the school life, and we sincerely hope that this volume may he a lasting memorial to the school career of the ('lass of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty'Eight. n hoi FOREWORD I To Ray L. Wheeler, who has counseled our atlv Ictic teams with such a spirit of friendship and understanding, we, the class of 1958, wish to corn inemoratc tin's sixteenth volume of the Voice Annual; not that he has left our midst, but rather that we wish to cherish his faithful and active ser-vices as our coach.

The agricultural students, as well as listening to class lectures, prepar-ing reports and outside work on different phases of farming, arc many times taken afield to see just how this or that is accomplished. Trips to poultry farms, dairy plants, bacteriological laboratories, forestry plantings, dairy farms, horticulture shows and fruit farms, water filtration and sewage dis posal plants, meat packing concerns, Farm and Home week at Cornell and vegetable gardening farms were among those visited and which made the courses of study more interesting and instructive. Perhaps the two high spots for this department were the Farm and Home week in December and the Livestock Fitting and Showing Contest in March. During Farm and Home week the students gained valuable experience not only from attending the talks and demonstrations by members of the faculty as well as by prominent outside speakers; but, likewise, from partici' pating on different committees necessary in the functioning as hosts for the numerous guests. The annual Fitting and Showing contest gave valuable instruction to those participating as well as interest to those of the audience. First place in each ring of cattle was awarded to Ldwin Mason, John Orecki, Clyde Wakelcy, Joseph Struckle, Boyd Draflin and Walter Bates. The sweepstakes awards were arranged in this order: Boyd Draflin, Joseph Struckle, Walter Bates and Ldwin Mason. AGRICULTURISTS r. s ] Kow G: WIIImt. I iIrirk. Wliil« . Ois'e. .Toliiwltm.

A very pleasurable event for us, and we hope for others, was the reception for the boys at the opening of school. Our outstanding part in the Farm and Home week program was that many of us acted as models in the Fashion Show as well as serving meals in the cafeteria and to the guests and guest speakers. Another profitable experience for us was the reception for the speakers at the conclusion of the speaking contest in Frisbic Hall. At a later time we were interested spectators at the Livestock Fitting and Showing contest where we learned many things about the work pursued by the boys taking the agricultural courses. Wc do not wish to appear egotistical, but we were always willing to help out any organization with interior decorating or with a special dinner when desired. Other duties with the cafeteria, nursery school, dormitories and extra-curricular activities kept us busy most of the time.

To substitute work for our fun. Our clays at school have been happy, And the nights have been filled to the brim. As we tackled our dales and our lessons, With plenty of vigor and vim. The times of trouble were many. But those of joy still more, So we ll leave our school in sorrow. When we stand at last at the door. The door opens out toward the pathway, Which we arc to follow awhile; To do our work for ourselves and our State School Lighting our way with a smile. We, who are leaving, leave with a sigh, And are sorry our school days arc past, So we silently vow as we leave the hill, That to them we’ll be true ’till the last. — Lansing. r io i CLASS OFFICERS Merxoif, I'litiicr, Alov. Mr. IIf won. isir;tiuli-r. Our class originated in the fall of 1935, the following officers were pre-siding: President, Wendell Conklin; vice-president, Ruth Cronkitc: secretary, Beatrice Barbour; and Joe Paul, Voice Reporter. Al ter a serious conflict on the f(X)tball field. Freshman rules were banned. It seems an organized Freshman class objected. The boys of the class were initiated into the Bar-Flies Association. At the beginning of the second term our number was decreased to 26 with the following officers: President, Donald Green: vice-president, Peg Balcom; secretary, Edith Hall; treasurer, Harry Rogers; and Terry Skill', Student Council representative. As Juniors in the ancient year of 1937, we elected the following officers for a term: President, Adclbert Shelley; vice-president, Ruth Hobbs; sec- retary, Catherine Wilson; treasurer, Reid Moy; for Student Council, Bobby Lynch, Jens Johnson and Don Patterson. By this time our class had increased to no less than 87. During the year our class was outstanding in sports and activities. Our Senior year at State School saw one of the largest graduating classes in the history of the school. The oflicers were: President, Reid Moy: vice-president, Frank Pepper; secretary, Nina bell Herzog; treasurer, Vera Ostrander. The Senior play entitled “Campus Quarantine , given in April, was a huge success. The all-important commencement exercises held in the gym was, of course, the outstanding event of our life at State School. We owe to Mr. Hewes thanks for the great help and guidance he so cheerfully gave us. Now we have finished our course at Suite School, we go into the great world to become useful students and citizens. We all hope to make a greater success of it than we did during our brief stay at school. —By Don Green. OF '38 0 L£skIL( ' library w yo x i ii j ALLEN, BERNARD C. “Cracib” Glens Falls, N. Y.

We found him posing for an add for “What the well dressed man will wear and he entertained us by telling of his experiences encountered while escorting various debutantes to the most important ol places. Don Vanderzcc is still running true to form. While traveling we happened to notice a motorcycle leaning against a tree and thought that it looked familiar. Sure enough, there on the other side of the tree was Don quite asleep. We didn't wake him up as we thought that we had learned the whole story by just that one glance.

Fred Whitbeck is found with his one and only Eleanor and reports that he is quite the happiest man in the world. Frank Korcn was polishing up the V'8 when we arrived. He explained that although he has been very prosperous since leaving school, he has a certain feeling for that car and can’t seem to find the heart to trade it in for a newer one. Richard Myers is still passing school busses in spite of the fact that state troopers are tired of warning him.

Asa result of the '’collection of dues” contest between the boys and the girls of our group, the hoys were compelled by the rules of the contest to entertain the girls at a Semi-Formal Party in April. Everyone enjoyed a delightful evening of dancing and refreshments, with Mr. and Mrs. Collycr as patron and patroness.

Winn, Being the first special student group to enter State School under the new curriculum, we arc honored, and during our sojourn on the Mill we have met new faces and made many new friends. At our first meeting, we elected the following officers: President, Wal-ter Bates; vice-president, Kenneth Moon; secretary and treasurer, CJeorge Winn; Student Council representative, Merton Karker; faculty adviser, Mr. Gregory. In December, Merton Karker left scluxil to complete his high school course and so Abbott Wiley was elected to fill the vacancy as Student (Council representative. Under the leadership of Nathan Albin, William Irish and Robert Beatty, a basketball team was organized which succeeded in defeating the Junior and Senior class basketball teams. Also William Irish was elected as Voice reporter. George Winn, our secretary, was successful in capturing first prize in the Parly-Pro Speaking Contest held in assembly on March 28th. Our course of study was completed with special commencement exercises at which Rev. Leonard Braam addressed us on the subject “Ingredients for Success”. Certificates were presented by the Director to all who had completed their work. We wish to thank the faculty for the interest which they showed in us; the students for their help and good times enjoyed with them; and Mr. Gregory, our adviser, for his counsel in our class organisation and out. 123 1 SPECIALS Cretchen Mann Peter Carlson (Jail ()liver Arville 1 la yes (Jeorge Chein Nancy Oliver Kay Collyer Jon Slocum Ann Schuyler Lucille Eillcnburgcr Ward Jones Patty VanDervort This has been a very successful year for the Seniors in Child Guidance. Under the supervision of Mrs. Joan Pearson, the girls have learned, along with theory, to work in and manage our full day nursery school and the half day play-group. in both groups the physical set up and care and guidance of the twenty children enrolled is held upon a level of high standards and based upon modern scientific knowledge. Much of the equipment has been made by the students and the nursery has been their full responsibility throughout. Public recognition of the nursery and the students' work is shown by the lact that next year's enrollment is already filled. Another point of interest is that our nursery school director has been appointed to serve as a member of the committee for the New York State Nursery School Association, under the direction of Dr. Ruth Andrus, Chief of Child Development and Parent Education in Albany. —Helen Lansing.

We have been discouraged at times, feeling that the student body was not cooperating with us; but now, .it the close, we feel we have been successful in our work and hope the students and faculty can feci the same. Perhaps one of the most important contributions of this group has been the securing of a room for the Voice staff, in which they might meet, keep their materials and printing apparatus. It was through the Council that the school received the electric victrola for dancing during the social hour — also it has seen to it that the students have danced to the most popular numbers. In the matters of keeping rules regarding conduct in the buildings, we have felt that the students- have not needed a police force in the form of either the Council or the faculty. We have called to your attention certain patterns which we thought you should follow and Init in few instances has it been necessary to reason with any students personally for infringment on the welfare of our school. The Council has put into effect the “Date Book wherein all activities arc listed upon request by some organization thus avoiding conflicts. Phis is but a brief look into the functionings of the Student Council. Again, wc as a Council have tried to do our best and wc leave our sincere wishes for the continued success of future Councils.
