This year being the Silver Anniversary of this noble Institution, we of the VOICE Staff for the year 1940-41, deem it a great honor to be able to publish this issue, and hope that we make this, the nineteenth volume of the VOICE, one of which you can be proud. Many people like to keep souvenirs, and likewise this can be considered a souvenir One of the First Graduating Classes of your career at Cobleskiil. If the 1941 VOICE will ' remember on paper” a few of your “School Days”: and if, as the Silver appears among the Gold, and you turn its pages, it brings back a few of the long hours, yet short years, that you will always cherish, we will feel more than repaid for the effort spent in compiling this material. [ ] WE HONOR Jared C. Mackey When it came to decide upon whom this issue of the VOICE would be dedicated, there was not a question in any student's mind whom should re' ceive the honor. We had in our midst a man who was not only one of the oldest and longest env ployed members of the Staff, but was also a man who had made himself well known and appreciated by all those who came in contact with him. He had fulfilled his position as Farm Superintendent the best that any man could do and anyone would be proud to have done as well as he has done. And so to Mr. Mackey, wc wish to dedicate this, the nineteenth Volume of the VOICE, hoping that he will have many pleasant memories of his years of loyal service to State School. i: 5 ] OUR DIRECTOR Archie 10. Cliumplin, IMi B. Speaking in behalf of the entire student body, we of the VOICE Staff wish to express our sincere and deep appreciation to Mr. Champlin, the Director of this institution, and a loyal friend of every student. Never once has he “let us down”, nor lias he ever shirked his responsibilities as our leader. He has guided us through some very dark paths, and across many rough waters, but has always steered safely to port. We wish him the very best of luck and success in the future.

The l:ir t Paeiilty Twenty Five Years at State School AS visitors stop in front of Frisbic Hall and prepare to enter the front entrance, they may, by looking over the door, see the fob lowing inscription carved in the stone: “Schoharie State School of Agriculture.” This was the appel-lation given the school by an act of the legislature, July 28, 1911. As the field of endeavor of the school broadened, so did its name; which became “The New York State School of Agriculture.” During later years as other institutions were established throughout the state, some confusion arose when the names of such institutions were men-tioned; inasmuch, as they were set up for an entirely different purpose and with a much different clientele. As a result, thirty years after its founding, its name has again been altered to the New York State Institute of Agriculture and Home Economics.” Hut an institution does not become a school unt I it has acquired a faculty, and students are in attendance. And so it was twenty-five years ago that a faculty was hired under the directorship of Halsey 15. Knapp, now director at Fnrmingdalc, and students were first enrolled, making the first commencement to be held in the Spring of 1918. Again, as then, the world is engaged in a gigantic struggle, attempting to decide this matter of democracy. From that time, twenty-five years ago, many changes have occurred to make the institution more democratic. Among the personnel, the sudden death of Director L. W. Crittenden in February 1936, made it necessary for Mr. Day to take over the helm by appointment of the Board of Visitors, until Director A. E. Champlin, formerly director at Alfred, was selected by the Board to continue the work at Cobleskill. Others who have come and gone are Oeorge Eastman, rural economics; 11a E. Keister, child study; Kathryn G. Zwingelstein, clothing; Arlene Walters, health education; Lee Huey, poultry; T. M. Bates, health education; M. L. Huestis, institutional management; Paul James, bookkeeper; Warren H. Sweeting, soil science and coach; and William Stafford, agricultural business. Still others have been added to the staff or have filled vacancies: Mrs. Joan Pearson, child study; Wm. Ricman, plant pathology; L. L. Shaw, clothing; Madge Jewell, cafeteria and institutional management; Orvis F. Johndrcw, coach and poultry; Wm. Furman, agricultural business; Miss Govern, health education; Miss Rustad, who took Miss Prentice’s place during her leave of absence in order to direct the Home Economics Defense program in New York State, with Mrs. Pearson becoming head of the Home Economics Department . Claude Gillette, horticulture, to replace Mr. Teed, who retired in September, 1940; Mrs. Byrnes, secretary to the director; and Clarence Linson, a 1923 alumnus, as farm superintendent, to replace Jared Mackey, who retired in 1940. Naturally the student body changes from year to year and it is noteworthy to mention the introduction of two NYA resident centers for those interested in agriculture and shop. The courses of study have been expanded to include Farm Equipment Sales and Service and Agricultural Business. The. expansion in extra-curricular activity has been quite noticeable with the organization of a rifle club, bowling team, debating team, a sorority, 4-H Club, Future Farmers of America, and the band instead of an orchestra. The last five years period of State School's growth is outstanding, not alone from the numbers attending, but also from the increased participation on the part of the students in school affairs. It is to be considered a period of expansion, steady growth and intensification of available resources rather than one of spectacular events. [ 3 Class of 1941 Colors: Blue and Silver.

IT was one of those lazy, beautiful Indian summer days. “In the midst of scenic valleys, high upon a hill, dear old N. Y. S. S. A. lay very peaceful and quiet. There was anticipation in the air. and suspense! An onlooker might have said, “The quiet and peaceful Campus looks as if it was about to make history. How true he might have been, because on that day, the Class of '41 arrived. At that very instant things began to take on a very different AIR. It was the largest class in the history of the school, having seventy-three boys and forty-one girls. Early in the first quarter of their Junior year, the Class organized, with Mr. Gregory as their adviser. On one of these cold wintry nights, which everyone will remember, the Class held a sleigh-ride. Even though it meant snuggling close down under the straw and blankets, there were no regrets! In the Spring, a reception was held in honor of the Seniors. This affair was attended by the majority of the school, and will always be looked upon as the outstanding event of our Junior Year, because it was the last activity we had with “Our Friends the Senior Class. Looking back now we realize what a dillicult job Mr. Gregory had with such unsophisticated Juniors. However, we all agree that he did a good job, because we returned in the Fall of 1940, a greater experienced and more mature group. During our Senior year we were led by the following slate of officers: President, Herbert Dcitz; vice-president, Katherine Snyder; secretary, Frances Doig, and treasurer, Irwin Bailey. Mr. Wheeler accepted the tiresome and tedious responsibility of being our Senior Class Adviser, and filled his job the best that any one is able to do. He worked hard, and so to hint, our appreciation. Early in the Fall, we gave a party in the Gym for the entire school. It was the first in a series of parties to be given every month by different organizations. It was very successful and so again the Seniors triumphed. During the month of December, rings and other school souvenirs were purchased and proudly shown about. Then came the Senior play and most important. Commencement. In. the future, when long, lazy Indian Summer arrives, and cool breezes blow, In the midst of scenic valleys, high upon a hill, we Seniors will look into our television sets and see and revive all the happy days spent at our old Alma Mater in Coblcskill. And so, farewell for now, and best wishes for success to future Seniors. May you find as much knowledge to remember, and as many incidents to cherish as we have.

JUNIOR CLASS The Junior Class, under the leadership of Lars Johnson and Coach Johndrew, completed a very successful first year at State School. After choosing Coach Johndrew as the Faculty Adviser, and Lars Johnson as class president, they proceeded to elect William Wilscn as vice-president; Edith Eit-ner as secretary; and Lynettc Schncpp as treasurer. To represent the Class on the Student Coun- cil, they chose Barbara Gclina, Eleanor Ryan, James Don nan, and Matthew Canavan. During the course of the year, they sponsored, very successfully, a roller-skating party, and a sleigh-ride. The Class was also well represented in all the activities of the school. They say that if will indeed he a sad day when they have to part from the Senior Class, hut will remember for many years to coinc the acquaintances made here. [32] HACK ROW: H. Hcmcnway VanVooris.

HOME ECONOMICS With an enrollment of over eighty girls, the Home Economics department began this year with the largest number of girls ever to attend this school at one time. They were going along fine when the head l the department, Miss Prentice, left the school to take up emergency work in Ah bany. This was quite a handicap to many of the students, as she filled such a large place in the run- ning of the school. But under Mrs. Pearson s guidance, they carried on, and found her to be very capable in filling the position left vacant by Miss Prentice.

Let s hope that they will make as good marks in the world as they have made in school. [ 33 ] ROW 1: Ashley, Curtis, Giovanni, J. Chapin, Whilhcck, Wa'wanis, Murphy. Bristo, Bender. ROW 2: R.

Yes, that is the title that we give them here at school, although it does not apply too well to many of the students. A prominent man, re ferring to a well known Agricultural College in New York State, said that it will not necessarily make you a better farmer than your father, hut will make you just as good a farmer in a shorter length of time. Coblcskill does this and more too. Out of this Institution go young men technically trained in the fields of Livestock, Poultry, Fruit, Cash Crops, Horticulture, Farm Machinery, Dairy Industry, Agricultural Business, and other fields. These arc the men who, during the next decade, will be helping to feed (he greatest nation that ever lived. They should be proud to take on their job, and do it to (lie best of their ability. [ 34 ] I SPECIAL CLASS This year seven students were enrolled in the Short Course, comprising what is known as the “Special Students Class. At their first meeting, they elected the following officers: President, Charles Wiley; secretary and treasurer, Clarence Curtis: and Student Council member, Wallace McNary. Mr. Gregory was chosen to be the faculty adviser. On March 19 they held a party, at which games were played and refreshments served. Mr. and Mrs. Gregory acted as host and hostess at this gaih-cring. The course was completed on April 4, when they were graduated. At the commencement e.v crcises, Wallace McNary was the major speaker, and Director Champliu awarded certificates to those who had satisfactorily completed the work. [35] NURSERY SCHOOL Of the four Stale Schools Coblcskill is the only one that has a specialized course in Child Study. The nursery school here has an enrollment of about twenty pre-school age children, who come at eight-thirty in the morning and leave about four in the afternoon. This gives the girls wishing to major in Child Study Courses, an opportunity to work directly with the children and also to receive practical experience in all phases of the life of the pre-school child. The Seniors majoring in Child Study will always h ok upon their year in the Nursery Sch K)l, with Mrs. Pearson as the adviser, as the fondest of wonderful experiences and a great deal learned. It is a grand experience, and they learn things that can be gotten in no other way. [ 36 ] Scene from “Teeing Off 1941 r ?71 STANDING: C;ivry, Omavan, Ryan, MacNary, Dargush, Donr.an, Dcits. Johnson.

GLEE CLUB The (Hoc Club started the year as a Girls’ Choral Club, under the able direction of Miss Prentice. They made several successful appearances, and were well under way, when Miss Prentice left school. In the absence of Miss Prentice, Mr. Day took over the direction of the sinking department, and combined the boys' and girls' voices to form a mixed chorus. This organization has been one of the most active ones on the campus this season, having put on several different programs. Every member said that be thoroughly enjoyed the club very much, and hopes that it is continued next year. r 4o ] I'RONT ROW: Washburn, Brown. Dodge. Morrison, Eiincr, L. Snyder.

B A N1) Handicapped by the fact that Mr. Stafford, the instructor who did so much last year to build up the band, left this institution to take up the duties of teaching in another school, the band had a hard time getting started this year. But Mr. DiNucci, from Middlcburg High School, took over the band, and coming to State School once a week, he again started the band going. But Bill Smith also de serves a lot of credit. Acting the combined part of student director of the band, and individual instructor of each member, he worked with the band, and had them practice hour after hour. It was through his efforts that the band again started to play for public appearances. The band played at the Music and Drama Festival, Graduation, and many basketball games and assemblies. May it continue to improve and develop as it has this last year. [41] HACK ROW: Browne, Baruc, Broadbent, Auchampaugh, Studor, Dunbar, Dworsky, Albright, Taylor, Moore, Walwanis.

DRAMATICS CLUB The State Sch«K)l Dramatics Club successfully completed its eleventh year of activity, with a ros ter of about forty-five aspiring Thespians. With the Seniors acting as directors, five one-act plays were produced for Farm and Home Week, and also a Christmas play. On February 11, a play contest of six plays was held, and the best chosen play was presented at the Stale School Grange. Another important activity on the calendar was the Music and Drama Festival. Under the able guidance of Mr. Hcwes, the Club has made its presence actively felt on the campus, and has done much to instill interest in amateur performances. The officers of the year were: President, Lucille Porter; vice-president, Catherine Frank; and secretary, Katherine Snyder. [. 42 ] FUTURE FARMERS of AMERICA The Coblcskill Slate School Chapter ol the Fu-ture Farmers ol America was founded in January ol this school year, under the direction of Mr. Gil-lette, who acted as the adviser for the remainder of the year. It was decided to become an active chapter, and ten boys were on hand to start the chapter. They elected the following officers: Frcs-idont, Howard Walwanis; vice-president, Herbert Deitz; secretary, Samuel Youmans; treasurer |,,]U1 Hailston; and reporter, Gordon Derby. The chapter planned a calendar for the year, which included such events as parties, dances, hot dog roasts, and similar functions. They believe that they have started an organization which will become a very popular1 one in years to come, and will be both educational and recreational.

One of the highlights of the season was the debate, “Resolved, That girls come to State School to Ret a husband.” While this caused much discussion on the campus, no decision was reached. There were several debates with high schools and colleges in the vicinity during the year. Albany State Teachers' College and Harlwick Seminary were outstanding rivals. Several debates in assembly programs were also P«‘� t ' the year’s schedule. n The officers of the Club were: President, Dotty Keddie; vice-president, Howard Walwanis; and secretary, Felix Giovanni. As in previous yj-j Mr. Gregory did his usually fine job in coaching the team. [14] SEATED: Robison, Koddic, Dodge. Hollxrl. Cray. Maccyka. (JirshofI, Houghton. STANDING: Cairo.

Under the direction of Miss Bates the Bowling C'ub was formed early in the tall and continued to operate even when nice summer weather made its appearance. There was no list of ofliccrs set up and elected, nor were there any contests staged against any rival teams, because the Chib was organised merely for recreational purposes. They did their bowling on the local alleys, and met every Wednesday afternoon at four o'clock. The ones taking part in the Club received both recreation and amusement from their participation, as well as increasing their skill in this very popular sport. [45] FRONT ROW: GirshofT, Bitncr.

During the past year, the members conducted a Lunch Bar for the Farm and Home Week, and sponsored a Box Social Supper for the girls of the school. The projects for the year were, Yeast Bread and Rolls, and Tools and Fabrics. The 4'H Club upholds the pledge often quoted thus, 4V1 pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living for my club, my com-munity, and my country.” The officers were: President, Mary Baeher; vice-president, Dorothy Hojohn; secretary, Alice Egry; treasurer, Catherine Frank; news reporter, Mary Alice Northover; and song leader, Jean Horton.

The purpose of the Council is to settle all disagreements that may arise between the Fraternities; pro- mote good feeling between them; and to set up a Constitution and By-Laws that will keep all the Fraternities on an equal standard, and see that all are treated fairly. This year the Council has not only been very active, but also has been extremely successful in carrying out its purposes. Both the members and the Director deserve, praise for their line work. I [47 j THETA GAMMA EPSILON Epsilon Chapter began the year with nine members returning to school m September. The members of Epsilon Chapter attended the Annual School of Instruction which was held at Farmingdalc. The annual rush parly was held at the home of Mr. E. B. Hewes on December 9, and on January 7, Lars Johnson and Jack DcRondc were pledged. The annual Theta Gamma Dance was held in the school gym on December 14. Music was furnished by Gordie Randall and his Orchestra, and the dance was considered a success by every one. Mr. E. D. Day entertained the members of the Fraternity at his home on February 25. Every one had a most enjoyable evening. Three more pledges were taken in on March 4. They were William Albright, Harold Hilts, and Charles Wiley. The Annual Banquet and Dance was held on April 19. In May the Fraternity members went on a hot dog roast. We extend our best wishes to brother Ftaterni-ties. May they all have a very successful future.

'41 [48] ALPHA SIGMA CHI A program that was carried out this year by this organisation, and yet not an activity that was rcc-ognized by the rest of the student body as being one of much importance, was the strengthening of the bond between Alpha Sigma Chi and their sister organization, Alpha Sigma Delta. During the year, several joint meetings were held; the two organizations worked together on all of each other's activities, and these things, together with other fac-tors, brought the two organizations much closer together. Another contribution of this year's members, is a Fraternity song. With music composed by Wib liam Smith, and wortls written by George Ashley, the Fraternity for the first time had a song of its own. The activity program of the year was as follows: a sport dance in November; the annual Alpha Sigma Chi formal dance in February, with Tony Brooks and his band; a spaghetti supper in March; a fraternity picnic in May; and several rush parties and initiations. The organization was well represented in all the activities of the school, and contributed to all phases ol school life. We wish our brothers the best of luck on their Tenth Anniversary next year, and hope that Alpha Sigma Chi will come to mean to them as much as it does to us.

An enjoyable Waffle Party was held at the Coffee Shop in November. The Sorority entertained at a tea in honor of Miss Maxine Rustad, the new Home Economics teacher. One of the outstanding events of the year was the acquisition of a Sorority Room in Frisbie. Hall. The girls were entertained by Mrs. Pearson with a buffet luncheon at her home. The formal initiation banquet was held at Hewes-cresl.

It is comprised of the director of the school, and the coaches, captains, and managers of the athletic teams. The president and secretary of the Student Council also cooperate in the giving of the awards. Although you seldom hear of the activities of the Athletic Council, they are one of the important factors in the successful running of the athletic program. This year's Athletic Council is as follows: Director Champlin, Coaches Johndrew and Govern, Captains Bailey and Dargush of the hoys' basket ball team. Captain Snyder of the girls' team. Manager Huntington of boys' basket ball, and Manager Ross of girls basket ball.

HOYS’ BASKETBALL Following the fine example that they set last year, the boys’ basket ball team again came through with a very successful season. Piloted by Co-Cap tains Dargush and Bailey, and instructed by that man on the campus that everybody knows person ally and respects greatly. Coach Johndrew, the squad turned in the lop-sided score of 14 victories and four defeats, not losing any games on the State School court. They made three overnight trips: Canton, Rochester, and Farmingdalei and played several teams such as New Palis and Niagara Cm-versity, which arc rated as being way out ol the class of schools of our size. All in all, it is believed that the team did a job that they can be proud of, and turned in a record that is a rea. target for future teams to “'shoot at. [53] IRONT ROW: Sawicki. Rathlxin. Cray.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Although the girls’ basket ball team experienced a losing season this year, much fun and good spirit was derived out of the games by those participating. It is not easy for a losing team to go out on the iloor and play a losing game without becoming discouraged and losing their good sportsmanship. But they showed none of these tjuali-lies. In none of the games did they give up , even when it became evident that the opposing team was invincible. It takes a lot of nerve, willpower, and determination to play games as they did, and they deserve a lot of praise for carrying on under the circumstances that they bad to face. Regardless of the type of season the team has next year, let s hope that they exhibit the same good sportsmanship as this year’s squad did.

The Club took in several members during the winter months, and by spring had a good sized CLUB enrollment. But also as the spring approached, they lost two of the organization's main enthusiasts, Richard Hail and Herbert Tucker. Several practices were held in the spring months, in preparation for meets with other schools, but due to the loss of those two enthusiastic members, the club became rather inactive as the summer came around. But all who belonged to the organization had a lot of fun and enjoyed being part 1 it. [”] BACK ROW: Bristo. Wilscn. DcKondc. MIDDLE ROW: Kuziarz, DcKay, Dworsky. M.uN;i,y. Al.u, llaxston.

Captained hy a fellow that showed excellent promise last year, Ernest Cairo hy name, the squad traveled to such places as Albany, Amsterdam, Delhi, and Morrisville, to defeat many teams that were rated to over-power the Little Colonels” with ease. Using a man-to-man defense, and run- ning through difficult plays with the utmost of simplicity, they polished” off the season with an undefeated record. Never once did they come home the conquered , always the victors. They played a good brand of hall, and many spectators said that they enjoyed their ganjes as much as they did the Varsity games. But regardless of that fact, they have set a record that State School will not soon forget. 0 ] I RON'I Sweet. Moore, Broadhent BACK ROW: Bcmlcr, (liovimni, Holcomb. CIIEER LEADING This year the Cheer Leaders followed the line example of last year's squad, and did an excellent job of leading the State School spectators through a fine list of peppy cheers. Felix Giovanni, who showed promising ability on the team last year, did not disappoint us, and did a very commend' able job as captain of the squad this season. But speaking of good work, we must also say that the people supporting him on the team did a fine job, too. They really showed enthusiasm in their work, and the results that they received from the bleach' ers during the games proved that their work was not in vain. This department deserves a lot ol credit, so let's hope that it is continued with as much success next year. t 7 ] THE SNO-WHITE LAUNDRY Phone 336 Cobleskill, - . .
