1940 BRUCE G. HESS, Editor-in-Chief HARLEY KLING, Business Manager 1 940 Volume XVII - x V||| Published by the Students of the Cobleskill School of Agriculture and Home Economics, Cobleskill, N.Y. [3] M. D. TEED Wisdom, thoughtfulness for others, a spirit of cooperativeness—these are a few of the things which designate efficient personalities in any organization. V c, the students of the New York State School of Agriculture and Home Economics, know that Mr. Teed has exhibited these characteristics to a very high degree; and so, as Mr. Teed departs from active association with us in the student-teacher relationship, we are assured that he will always retain a cherished place in our thoughts and hearts. He is a friend and counsellor to whom we can turn in time of need. Mr. Teed, we wish to dedicate this volume of the Voice to you and the ideals for which you have stood; we hope that you will have many pleasant memories of State School and that you will visit us on the Hill as often as possible. IN APPRECIATION I 4 I We, of the Voice Staff, are attempting to set down in the following pages a synopsis of the fine and glorious memories of the graduating Class of 1940. Let us hope that this volume will be a lasting and treasured inspiration to the spirit and the career of the Class of 1940.

John Duffy, President of the Senior Class, was truly a fine example of American youth. His likeability, his character, and his graciousness was an inspiration to the many friends and fellow students who knew him. IN MEMORIAM Front Row—Godc, Irving. Sutliff. Cameron. White.

SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In the golden fall of 1938 there congregated on the hill at Cobleskill a group which was to be known in history as the class of '40. As Juniors they sponsored a banquet at the Grange Hall and a real wintery sleigh ride. As a unit they were largely represented in the Sports Carnival. With such a successful season behind, when thoy returned as Seniors, they immediately plunged into the task of making a truly successful senior year. With a class enrollment now in the middle 70's the following officers were elected: President...........................................Richard White Vice-President Evelyn D. E. Cameron Secretary .................................... Harriette Hosmer Treasurer ..................... .... ............... Ona Bookhout Student Council—Betty Gade, Francis Davis, Dorothy Sutliffe, Chester Smith, William Irving and Harley Kling. The Senior Play, Blackberry Winter , given in late April was both a financial and artistic success. The all important event, of course, was Commencement Exercises which were held in the Gym. As our Faculty Adviser, Mr. Hewes, labored long and hard and to him the Class of '40 says in parting, SALUTA CLASS OF 1940 AITIZIO. JAMES LOUIS ''Jim Highland. N.Y.

Last fall, the largest class in the history of this institution entered State School, seeking higher knowledge. This class was composed of seventy-three boys and forty-one girls, making a total of one hundred fourteen Juniors. The Class organized and elected the following officers . President, George Ashley; Vice-President, Vincent Dargush; Secretary, Helen Hcintz; Treasurer, William Smith; Student Council Members, Katherine Snyder, Mildred Moore, James Shirikian, and Franklin Ward. Mr. Gregory very kindly consented to be our Faculty Advisor. During the winter we sponsored a sleigh-ride party, which was enjoyed immensely by all those who attended it. Shortly before the end of the year we held a farewell dance party in honor of the Senior Class. The Class was well represented in all activities, the most outstanding being basketball, having ten men on the varsity team, and the first five men being Juniors.

On the first of November, we, the Special Students, entered State School, being the third Special Student Class to enter. In the beginning of our course we numbered fifteen. At our first meeting we elected our class officers for the year. For President, Christopher Gaule; Vice-President, Gilbert Polley; Secretary, Lewis Benson; and Treasurer, Frank Burdick. For our Student Council Representative we selected Herman Rejmer. Mr. Wheeler was chosen for our Class Adviser. In the annual Parly Pro speaking contest Christopher H. Gaule won third place and received a medal for his efforts. Most of our members participated in the school activities: namely, basketball, band, choir, fraternities and Voice. Our course was completed at the end of March with a commencement in the assembly. Our class speaker was Herman Rejmer and his topic was entitled Over the Threshold . Certificates were presented by Mr. Champlain to all who completed the course. As we pass on we wish to thank the faculty for their help both in classes and on the outside, the students for their aid and for the good times which we have had here at school. We will always remember the days at State and the friends we have made. We wish to thank Mr. Wheeler for his interest in our class and his help in making it such a successful one throughout the year.

When prices fell, the forward-looking agriculturists began to plan for the nation's economic future. Opportunities were offered to the future farmer. Agricultural courses in high school and agricultural colleges effected great changes in the American farmer. With these changes came increased enrollment at the New York State Agricultural School at Cobleskill. Many opportunities in varied fields opened to them, from Federal appointments to farm superintendents. In 1938, new courses were introduced to keep pace with progressing economic developments. Today the graduates of N. Y. S. S. A. are fully qualified to enter the agricultural field as leaders and builders of the future agricultural industry. I ?4 | FARMERS Front Row—Kcddy.

This department offers two courses, one in Institutional Management and one in Child Study. After the girls graduate they are placed in positions in Institutions, Children's Homes and various other business projects. HOME MAKERS I 25 I OUR VOYAGE Like a giant but rudderless ship Drifting in from the sea. Our class put in at State School port And anchored to the quay! Our parents, teachers, classmates, all Have marked our sailing charts. And we have been well guarded By their loyal trusting hearts. And on your decks, oh ship of State We've stood the watch and knew. The strength that comes from friendship's ties From comrades brave and true! Old friends—look backward thru the years These ties that we have made Will live as long as we shall live Nor time nor distance fade! And, as we down the gangplank tread Each to his destined way, We shall look back, oh gallant ship At each well-laden day. Good luck and Bon Voyage good mates Sail out to that old refrain, Should auld acquaintance be forgot Until we meet again. I 26 I POEM I 27 | STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is an organization composed of all groups on the hill. It is o democratic group in a democratic system of self-government. It is not primarily a policing body. Its main function is to provide a sounding board for the grievances of the students. It acts as a go-between for the students, faculty and the administration. Members are chosen from both the Seniors and Juniors of the regular enrollment and also from the members of the Specials. In this way all groups have ample representation. The Council has charge of the date book and assigns the meeting nights for the various groups and also has charge of the social hour. All in all the Council is democratically representative of the American Way. Front Row—Ashloy. Moor . Dovi� . Irving, SutlM. K. Sny«l.-r. Shirilidtt. Second Row—Kling V nrd. White. Rejmor.

The band also played its last performance for Graduation. The awards for band this year passed by the student council were letters for first-year men and letters and pins for two-year men. 131] BAND RIFLE CLUB OFFICERS Ona Brooks June Brown Bernard CharifF Bernard DeKay Daniel Diggcns MEMBERS Eleanor Dye George Enderly Thomas Hall Helen Heintz John Mirabile Arthur Rapp Thomas Roe Anne Robbins Ralph Spear Herbert Tucker Karl Weber The Rifle Club was formed in the fall of 1939 by Dick Hart.

Under the leadership of Mr. Gregory the group of boys led by Harley Kling and Ray Stevens organized debating on the hill. During the first year the squad boasted an enviable record, meeting such teams as Colgate and Syracuse. During the 1939-40 season the results were equally brilliant. The high spot of the year was a trip to western New York, meeting Alfred University and U. of Rochester. At home, the most successful debate was dual with Alfred on the Milk Question when over one hundred persons were in attendance. Other successful engagements were with Hartwick, Albany State, Albany Business, Morris-ville, Nott Terrace, Colgate and Syracuse University. The officers for the year were President, Ray Stevens; Vice-President, Harley Kling; Secretary, Richard Suffern; Corresponding Secretary, Betty June Helmer; Treasurer, Jared Thomas; Publicity Director, Ralph Spear, and Manager, Lydia Langworthy. Stevens was Captain of the Affirmative and Kling was Captain of the Negative Squad. I 34 I DEBATING Front Row—Baclior, Doiti. Longworthy, Rolfo, Hattfurior, Borgquist. Second Row — Soficld.

Albert Coons Everett Slurek Secretary Bruce Hess Interfraternity Council Representative—Harley Ki ng This year we started with fourteen men, and continued through one of the most eventful years this organization has seen in a long time. A total of eight students were taken into the order, one Senior and seven Juniors. In the early fall we sponsored a semi-formal dance with Paul Parker's Orchestra for music, one of the finest bands that has ever been on the hill. Then immediately following the Christmas vacation we put much effort into the Interfraternity-Alumni Dance. And when spring came around we put on a Sport Dance in honor of this year's commemoroble basketball team. We put out one of the best Intra-Mural teams in the school, and were well represented in all activities of our Alma Mater. Also, several Rush parties, a Spaghetti Supper and other such functions were part of the year's program. I 41 I INTER-FRATERNITY COUNCIL In any school there are bound to arise misunderstandings belween the various groups and the fraternities at State School are no exception. If was with the idea of eliminating these evils that there was set up an Interfraternity Council. The Council settles all disputes between the fraternities and endeavors at all times to promote good feeling between the three groups. During the year the Council was instrumental in the presentation of an Interfraternity Ball and also raised by general consent the quota allowed each fraternity. The Council is one of the most integral parts of our system of student government. I 42 I STANDING—Coach Johndrcw. Nichols. Malkowich, Dorgush. Gavry, Kokowiki, Hicks, Bai'oy, Manogor Allizio.

The New York State School Basketball Team this year has never been surpassed in the history of our school. This year the team was comprised of three teams, the first and second teams playing almost equally well. The first team played man-to-man defense, while the second team played zone defense, with this combination the team won all but one game and also had a good third team for reserves. The team, because of its good record, was invited to an invitation meet at the Saratoga A. A. U. tournament. I 44 I BASKET Sifting—K. Snyder. Hattfurtcr. Shaver. Cameron. MeMurtry. Huottii Davit.

The first of October brought back seven notable cross country men who had run for the old Orange and Black squad the year previous. Of these worthy harriers were the pair of 1938 co-captains, Arnold and White, with McMorris, the new captain, for 1939, and Hillick, Diggins, Mickle and Rejmer. Several new faces sow their way to the field but soon dwindled down to Chapin and Wcilwanis, both freshmen. Although the team won no material meets, every one was a moral victory. Not one runner received a medal or any such award for his individual feat but he received awards which cannot be purchased or sold; namely, cooperation, sportsmanship and clean living. The records show meets held and placing of each individual runner.
