1943 Presented by The Voice Staff New York State Institute of Agriculture and Home Economics Cobleskill, New York Foreword The New York State Institute of Agriculture and Home Economics has passed still another year in the present world crisis and weathered the storm well. This year, the same as last, the hoys in schcxil have not known where to turn. Many of us go into the armed forces, others will take their places on the farms of this country and help boost the world food supply, hut wherever our places may he, we will strive to do our best. The girls, as in every other time of need, have given unsparingly of their time and effort in Red Cross and other activities connected with the war effort, and as well, have carried on the high traditions of wholesome school life. As they leave the school, they t x will put forth their best efforts. No matter where we are destined to go we shall always have the memories of Stite School to look back to. Now as wc step out into the wide world let us turn our eyes to the future and carve ourselves a place in this country we are all so proud to call the United States of America. In offering you this Year B x k of 1943, we the members of the Voice Staff ask no reward except the opportunity of sharing many pleasant memories with you.

(( 19 ))§V Class Prophecy By Peggy Kenney One night as I was coming to the close of my lesson preparation for the next day 1 felt myself falling into a deep sleep. I had been studying about the future of nursery school development before this drowsy feeling came over me and apparently my sub-conscious mind kept saying, “future,” “future,” “future,” for it was only a brief few minutes before 1 was in deep sleep with visions of the N. Y. S. I. A. 1943 graduating class dancing before my heavy closed eyes. Me, a soothsayer; me, a prophet! No, not tiny little me. And yet, here I was looking into the future and seeing my classmates ten and twenty years from Class Day 1943. I seemed to be on a tour of a section of the country which yet was called by the name “Empire State.” My tour seemed to begin at the Albany terminal of a gigantic world-covering airline system. Busy uniformed guards and attendants were hurrying about but my wait there was not at all boring for whom did 1 meet but Corporal Peggy Brown of the W.A.A.C. who, she tells me, entertains her barracks with original comic acts in her spare time. Then after getting on the plane I heard a very familiar giggle and guess who it was? That’s right it was Polly White. She was very happy for she and Private Stuart Bradley were on their honeymoon to New York On stopping at Hudson I found that Ellen Wood and Bill Barton were married and have a home in Hudson which Ellen has turned into a little nursery while Bill is working in the Hudson Creamery. (Ellen’s dream came true at last). While I was waiting in the Hudson airdrome Hertha Huson came wandering in and was on her way to spend the week-end with Lars Johnson. Same as usual. Back on the plane to New York, whom did I meet but Gloria Ruduk, just as short and chubby as ever and working as a dietitian in a hospital in New York. Believe it or not, she still is corresponding with that well known fortune teller. Peggy Kenney, still that little mite of activity, has her own day nursery in Poughkeepsie, where she is teaching her own Phil and Philcnnes as well as twenty other neighborhood children. She still is studying up on how to get babies to sleep. (Peggy's fortune was written by someone else). On stopping at Poughkeepsie over night, whom did I sec but Betty Goodmen, as big and jolly as ever. She is manager of the school cafeteria in Newburgh. Betty and I had a good old gossiping session by which I found out that Joan Raup is now the wife of Lieut. Stuart Preston and she is spending all her time guarding the little General-to-be. Lucille Murdock still has that bright smile, which while at N. Y. S. I. A. attracted that soldier, to whom she is now engaged. She is assistant manager of a cafeteria a lew miles from home. You know she is the homey type. Metta Bratt is working in a Rochester day nursery. She is married to a soldier (Bellies) and is thinking seriously about following him to his camp. That’s right, Metta, you'd better keep close watch of him for there are many pretty WAACS. Flossie Carter is now known as Mrs. William Gregory and is trying hard to feed her family balanced meals. Flossie still has to get food out of a can once in a while, but Bill looks healthy just the same. Ruth Hislop’s dream came true, for she is a Mrs., although Betty couldn't tell me his name and she also has that beautiful dream house. She do-ed it! Frank Pflegl and Rus Cole arc partners and owners of a super-duper garage, although they still run around with that Chevy jalloppy. Beulah Youmans, an active member of the State Sch x)l Grange while at N. Y. S. I. A., we understand is now lecturer of the Grange in her home county. She is nicely settled down with her returned soldier from the armed forces of the World War — you know, that former student at N. Y S. I. A. Well Betty got tired of telling all this news, so we turned on the radio and by surprise whom did we hear but Pete Emerick - that well known orator on psychology. Pete recently patented a new cigarette which measures twenty-four inches in length. “These prevent using so many blinkers,” says Pete. The next morning, on boarding the New York Central, who was on the train but Bea Story. She had much news to tell. The most important of all was that she has decided to get married. “Yep,” she says, “this is a sure thing this time.” Of course, it is Stuart McGowan and he is in the Army — a Sergeant. Bea had a lot of information as usual about the kids. She said that Bette Dempsey was in the (Continued on Page 34) 20 j)SK Senior Class LEFT TO RIGHT. FRONT ROW: Cary. Kenney. White.

They have looked forward to this event since 1942 when they entered the State Institute as sixty-live timid and bewildered Juniors. Then it was the peak high in the clouds toward which they aspired; now they reach the summit. This class has been an active one. They do not wish the activities or the friendships they made during under-graduate days to end upon graduation. The Senior Class of 194S is now looking forward to the Commencement activities as a significant conclusion to two happy eventful years. 8( 21 ])®fc= Home Economics Girls I KONT ROW Ruduk, Dempsey, Baxter, BuUino, Kenney, White, Kaacson, Murdock, Diefen-dorf, Bratt, Cary.

Part of these students are majoring in InstitU' tional Management and part of them are studying Child Psychology. The Senior Institutional girls acquire their training by practical experience obtained in the cafeteria here at the Institute; where they learn quantity cookery, administration, and foods purchasing, to suy nothing about the long hours which are spent studying nutrition. The girls majoring in Child Psychology spend approximately eight hours a day in the nursery while they arc on participation. This enables them to get part of their practical expcrinece. Part of the year is devoted to class work which includes child guidance, psychology, and class discussions concerning general problems about child health and f(X)ds for children. 22 i)®v Agricultural Students FRONT ROW: McGowan.

This year, probably more than any year in the history of our country, there is a vase need for trained men in the field of agriculture. The American farmer is playing one of the most important roles in this World War II. Food is needed not only for the war front, but also the home front. The larder of plenty, which the U. S. has ab ways been noted for, is fast being depleted. It is the problem of these young men, and the millions of other farmers, to replenish this larder, using their knowledge of science which their training and experience has given them. Trained men in various fields, these students are facing the world with one of the best chances for the development of all and everything in the field of agriculture. e re ( 23 j)®) 5 Specials LEFT TO RIGHT: Morton, Jones, Ackerman, MclanUcr, Stall I man. On the first of November, there were five of us who entered State Institute as Special Students. At our lirst meeting we elected officers for the year as follows: President, Edward Morton, from Castleton; vice-president, Ray Melandcr, from Balston Spa; secretary, Edgar Ackerman, from Pcckskill; and treasurer, Donald Stahlman, from Castleton. The class chose Mr. Vaughn for a class advisor. During the year, our class was noted for dishwashing, as Don did pots and pans, Tom Jones and Ed. Ackerman took care of the dishes. After three months Ed. Morton was called from school to serve in Uncle Sam's Armed Forces. Ed. Ackerman left after four months to work on a dairy farm near Red Hook. Our course was completed at the first of April with a commencement in the assembly. Certificates were presented by Mr. Day to all who completed the course. As we pass on we wish to thank the faculty for their help in classes and on the outside; the students for their aid and the good times which we have had here at school. We will always remember the days at Suite Institute and the friends we have made. We wish to thank Mr. Vaughn for his interest in our class and his help in making it such a successful one throughout the year. 24 Junior Class FRONT ROW: Baxter, Giebiu, Brown, Hathlicld, Donahue, Mr. Hewes.

The Junior Class, under the leadership of Earl Hathfield and Mr. Hewes, have completed a very successful first year. After choosing Mr. Hewes as the faculty advisor and Earl Hathfield as class president, they proceeded to elect Donald Stark as vice-president; Murial brown as secretary; and Catherine Donahue as treasurer. To represent the class on Student Council they chose Onolee Scott, Carol Baxter, Robert Giebitz and Russell Weiss. When three of our Junior officers left, a meeting was held. William DiBacco was elected to office of vice-president after Donald Stark left around Thanksgiving time. Orlie Gwinup was elected to fill Russell Weiss's place on the Student Council after he left around Christmas time. At present no one has been elected to till Robert (Jiebiu's place on the Student Council. The first event of the year was a party given for the Seniors. Many times throughout the year the Juniors sponsored special social hours. A Junior slcighridc was scheduled hut Old Man Winter changed our plans. The class was well represented in all school activities on the campus. The Juniors are looking forward to their Senior year and we of the Junior Class wish the Seniors success. ®(i 25 j) sV Student Council BaxU-r, Ilalhficld, Rea. Scott. Prestem. Carter. GichicU.

The purpose of the Student Council is general supervision of all student activities; set a proper example for the school; encourage all student ac tivitics; make suggestions for the betterment of the school and represent the student body in all contacts with the faculty and the community or-ganizations. The Council consists of the class presidents and four representatives from each class.

The girls arrived two weeks before the boys and were undergoing an initiation under the able supervision of the Senior girls when the Aggies came to town. On arrival, the Junior boys were greeted by what looked like female cannibals. Their first words were probably, Ye. gods, what kind of a joint is this? Soon they were to find out at the hands of the experienced Senior boys. Slowly, very slowly, for that was the way it seemed, we truly became the Class of 4. with the election of our Junior ('lass officers. Neil Farrell was chosen president, and we all say he did a good job. Hill Shorty” Mohney, our six and a half footer, was elected vice-president, but it seemed to be an office with just a pretty name. l)iek Bunzy handled the money for the class, but there never was much of it, as getting money from us was just like pulling teeth. The girls were represented by okecter” Annis, who kept the records of the class. Mr Howes was elected class advisor. The class had a successful year after we got started, and the high spot was the Junior dance. To top off the year Mr. Hewcs gave us a partial Hewcs Crest. Graduation week came around and the Juniors were set to work decorating for the Senior Dance, Flay and Graduation. Finally it was all over and we bade farewell to the Class of ’42. September 194. — The girls return to Cobles-kill and soon the dorms are filled with laughing Seniors and bewildered Juniors. Three weeks later the boys conic in with a bang. Our num- bers are greatly decreased by enlistments in the armed forces and many of our friends are among the missing when the roll is called. Now it is our chance to reap a sweet revenge on the Juniors for the week of hardship that we suffered last year. Boy, what a mess those Juniors were! Forty-nine of us gather to elect our officers for the year. We seem to have more push than we did as Juniors and are getting right down to work. Stu Preston was named president and started off with big ideas for us as a Senior Class. Harold Hajny was selected vice-president, but was soon called back to the farm. Mctta Bratt was chosen to hold our funds this year, and she really got results in her pleas for money. Bette Dempsey was chosen to have the honor of recording our great accomplishments on the records of time so that all may hear of our great works. Mr. Curtis was elected advisor of the class of -G. Now we have dwindled to about 40 in number, as many of our class are now fighting on the war and home fronts. Twelve of the twenty boys in the class arc members of the F.nlisted Reserve Corps of the Army and the rest arc necessary farm workers. Many of the girls are considering the women's branches of the service after the school year. War keeps most of the fellows on edge and fun has been the by-word of the class. Studies seem to have taken a back seat. Even with the uncertainty of remaining for the full school year, the class planned a play and banquet. As the school year draws to a close we would like to leave to the Juniors the honor and responsibility of carrying on the traditions of the school. We hope that they can profit from our mistakes just as we have done. $ (! 2 7 ))6V The Voice Staff FRON I' ROW: Baxter, Hathficld, PflcRl, White, Cary, Williams, Kenney. Isaacson, McOuc.

As each issue appeared it was sent to the Alumni in the armed forces whose addresses were on file.

A number of one act plays have been produced for different occasions. Our officers: Jane Kirkpatrick, president; Belle Dempsey, vice-president; and Peggy Kenney, secretary, have worked hard and have done a good job.

She said that Bette is as beautiful as ever and has proven to be a hit actress in the camp. She is thrilled but as silent as ever. Eloise Cary has married a handsome somebody from Cobleskill and is using her child training on her own children. Bea also said that Eloise s hus-band has a hard job to keep up with the psychology she uses. Ida Smith took up dietetics and is now a dietitian in the hospital in her home town. She still swears that she will slay single. Ethel Reynolds is married to the soldier that she accidentally met on the train and with whom she corresponded every day while at N. Y. S. I. A. She has gotten over the thrill by now and she can eat O. K Ethyle Nickerson is president of the Sorority Society and is also giving speeches to other societies on “Psychology and Children.” She still is very theoretical. Also Jane Kirkpatrick, who is manager at the North Rose High School, although she was to get a job in the big city - she don't like that country life. By the way, she. is learning to be an actress in her spare time. By this time the train had arrived at the Grand Central Terminal and Bea couldn't tell any more. On riding on the subway I happened to glance at a Radio City poster giving its new broadcasts and there was Lcn Rea in big letters and below that it said he is taking Red Skelton's place by saying “Daisy - June” equally as well. Then also Radio City was advertising Janet Levine’s famous comic program on Nutrition Further it said, “Listen in, for she is helpful and yet full of fun” — what jokes! Passing the coming movie attractions, a big glamorous picture of Margie Lockwood appeared as star actress in that favorite love picture, How to (let Your Man.” Incidentally, Margie still is looking for that man she dreams of. On entering Child's Restaurant, I met Rosella Volk, better known to us as Mrs. George Snyder. The three of us just had to talk; so they ate all over again. Roscllas giggle isn't modified any, but golly, it was good to hear it once again. Mind you, she was in New York to buy more of those stylish clothes. George hadn’t changed, for he still sits back and smiles and lets Rosella do the talking - you know how it was at N. Y. S. 1. A. George finally got a word in edgewise to tell what some of the boys are doing now. Dick Bunzey is happily living on a big ranch that he and his wife own. They still extend invitations to their friends to visit this ranch so Dick can get a kick out of seeing them get stiff and sore from riding his bucking broncos. Harold Teeple has married a dark haired girl formerly at N. Y. S. I. A. and has a farm at North Rose. He still blushes as usual and laughs as comically as ever. Phil Reed —• that one man fraternity man — owns his own farm and milks his bossies night and day. He still is as quiet as ever, but never mind, he can dream, can't he? Leon C x� k, the milk man, is a hard working man, but he still has plenty of time for running around on his motorcycle and snapping pictures on the side you know, those unexpected ones that tell the truth. Bill Mohney said that he thought that ten years from graduation he would be pushing up the daisies, but he is going strong for he rides about from farm to farm giving information about “How to make the most out of your farm business. Bill Haughton is a horse jockey and is interested in the races and betting - yes, he is making a fortune right now for luck seems to be with him. Eddie Kinne, the King of the Campus, is now in Hollywood playing the part of the handsome man in the most outstanding picture of the year. He is yet “the single man type and likes to keep them all on the string. Harold Hajny has taken over his father’s farm, and believe it or not, has a wife and six little Hajnys. He sure fooled us all. His farm is small but successful. George Milan has decided to guard his country and stay in the Army for he rates so high and likes it so well. Oh, don’t get him wrong. He is married and expects to gel stationed near his blonde little wife. Bill Robinson, yes great old Bill, has a big chicken farm and gets top prices for his eggs; but of course he doesn't work on the farm for he has too many children to mind. He hires extra help to take care of the chickens. He believes in making the Robinson name a tradition. Well lunch was now over and poor George Snyder was all talked out. 1 went out to-see the sights and as I was walking through the Park Avenue Zoo I saw Winnie Dieckelman out for a walk with her little brood of kiddies. They were coming along just like Winnie. Well, she was always the motherly type. I wandered around for most of the afternoon and finally dropped in at Schraftt's for a little lunch and guess who was manager — yes. it was Audrey Diefcndorf; and what a place, spick and span like a shiny new dime. What is that sound I seem to be hearing? Louder and louder it grows. Why, it is the Cobleskill blackout siren and 1 must have been asleep. Yes, asleep and that lesson on nursery school development not ready yet for tomorrow. Well, so long, folks. 34 Child Study 'The.

I With the opening of school in the fall of 1942, Lambda Sigma Zeta found itself a firmly cstab-lished campus organization with a big year ahead. Two members of the sorority were missing, name' ly, Margaret Roberts and Freida Beliles. Miss Beliles became Mrs. Edmund Shultis on Septan-ber a, 1942, thereby gaining the distinction of be-ing the first Lambda Sigma Zeta sister to wed. Lambda Sigma Zeta opened the campus social calendar with the Harvest Moon Ball. This event was highly successful from the social standpoint as well as being financially profitable. Sponsor' ship of a Greek Letter Hay Ride for all Greek Letter organizations was the next social activity, with a Sports Dance scheduled later in the winter. The most important project of the year was the acquisition and furnishing of the sorority room. The room had be completely renovated and work was started from the bottom up. Here our Theta Gamma brothers stepped in to lend some much appreciated assistance. Not only did they donate manual labor to speed the painting, but they gave furniture as well. This is only one of the instances of fine cooperation extended by the brothers of the sorority. Social events, mutual ideals and interests have done much to tighten the bond of fellowship that exists between the two organizations. him 1x1 a Sigma Zeta was entertained by Alpha Sigma Delta at a theater party early in the year and later at a Christmas party when Alpha Sigma Delta presented Sigma Zeta with a beautiful Bible. Such acts of hospitality, friendship and good will tend to strengthen the ties of comradeship which are highly desirable for social living on a campus such as this. In January three Senior students, Ida Smith, Rosclla Volk and Eloisc ('ary, were initiated into Lambda Sigma Zeta. The sorority takes great pleasure in welcoming into honorary membership Miss Sigrin Rustad Thorson, born January 10, 1943, to Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Thorson. Mrs. Thorson (nee Miss Maxine Rustad) was the founder of our organization and is an honorary member. That the traditions of Lambda Sigma Zeta be loyally carried on, is the wish which we leave with our sisters for the coming years. FOUNDED 1941 Colors: Blue and Silver. Flower: American Beauty Rose.

Alpha Sigma Delta lias had an unusual year and has changed many of the precedents. The annual tea has been changed to a '‘Candlelight Tea , this year being given for the entire school. Then, too. our Coronation Dance was in February instead of the usual May due to the early graduation. Our social life has been one of pleasant times. The big events have been few, but of a highly successful nature. We wish the boys in the Reserves God speed. To everyone else, success in all their undertakings. To our brother fraternity , Alpha Sigma Chi, Thank you for everything. Alpha Sigma Delta Sorority held its Annual Coronation Ball in the Auditorium on February 12th. Metta Bratt and Edwin Kinne, this year's Queen and King, were crowned by Ruth Rath-bun and James Donnan, the royal couple of 1942. The Senior girls attending their King and Queen were: Bette Dempsey, Joan Raup, Hertha Huson, Ellen Wood, Jane Kirkpatrick, Lucille Murdock and Peggy Kenny. The Junior girls who paid homage to Metta and Ed were: Carol Baxter, Doris Isaacson, Barbara Grey, Frances Kratky, Hilda Smith, Peggy McCue and Muriel Brown. The room was decorated with white crepe paper curtains and red hearts. A huge heart adorned the doorway. The throne was arranged on the stage with red and white background.

Alpha Sigma Chi celebrated its eleventh anni' versary this year. When school opened in the fall of 1942, nine members returned to take active part in fraternal and school activities. In the lat-ter part of November, Earl Towers was called to work on his father's farm, leaving but eight mcm-hers to carry on. The old guard went on to a glorious finish to their term at Coblcskill State. All but two members were active on the Aggies Varsity basketball team. The greatest event of Alpha Sigma Chi during the year was its banquet held at the Augustan Hotel for the members and their friends, on February 6, with a party held in the fraternity room after the banquet.

In all probability most of the members of the classes of 1943 and '44 will he in the ser-vice in a few months. It is a matter of record that the boys are acquitting themselves well in this most unwel-come job, many of them with distinction. There arc among our number at least two captains, sev cml lieutenants and many non-commissioned officers. Word came the other day that a citation of merit was awarded to Private Doran Akullian, '41, for extraordinary bravery and coolness under fire on Guadalcanal in August, 1942. But this is no more than was expected. The boy who has coped successfully with vagaries of farm animals, has accepted and discharged well the responsibilities imposed upon him in a dairy plant or in a feed store, will not be found wanting when the larger job of helping to win a war is suddenly thrust upon him. The immediate future of the Institute is uncertain and unpredictable. Most of the young men who would have composed the class of 4 will be very busy elsewhere. It is therefore, the job of us who must remain behind, to maintain, aye to advance the Institution we all love so well against the day when it can again fulfill its destiny, helping to create a better rural life in our beloved Country. E. D. DAY, Acting Director. Theta Gamma (continued from page 36) We extend our best wishes to brother fraternities and wish them a successful future.

These students have proven their ability this year in making a trying period outstanding for its social activities without neglecting their studious obligations. Morale building is tremendously im� portant in war time, and the many organizations on the campus have done a splendid job along this line. Activities such as the Red Cross, Scrap Drives, First Aid Classes, Bandage Rolling, buying War Bonds and similar war elForts have had the whole' hearted support of the entire student body. 41 i)® The Enlisted Reserve f It is the determination of every red-blooded American boy to put his energies and his potential skill at the disposal of his country in order that the threat to our freedom and security may be removed in the shortest possible time. In a total war such as we are fighting, there are so many possibilities and so little experience on the part of all of us that it is hard for one to choose the right course. When the War Department, in the summer of 1942, offered the Enlisted Reserve plan for students in colleges, several of our boys seized upon the program as being the best answer to the problem facing every one of us — winning the war as soon as possible. Briefly, the plan is that the boys enlist in the Army, be placed on reserve and continue their school training, subject to the call of the War Department. Mr. Johndrcw was asked to be liaison agent between the War Department and the Enlisted Reserve, in which position he exhibited energy and good judgment in the selection of members of the Corps. As members of the Reserve, the boys are required to maintain high scholarship and to discharge all responsibilities faithfully and well. On the basis of their individual records and when the time comes for their call to active duty, there is little doubt that many will be enrolled in officers' training schools. — E. D. Day.

SILOS We arc living in unusual times and we cannot proceed as we have been accustomed to do. It is necessary to plan far ahead and purchase well before we must use. We will appreciate your passing the word to your friends and neighbors. 1. The number of silos that will be available this year is very small. Our Government has definitely limited the number that can be produced and sold. 2. Silo materials are strictly special and arc covered by priorities. }. Flic number of silo agents will be greatly reduced and you will have to prompt yourself about getting a silo. We suggest that you select the Silo Company with whom you would like to deal and write them frankly about your desires. We are prepared to help Dairymen interested in Wood Stave Silos. Coblcskill, N.
