The president of the Senior Class is president ex-officio. The students of the Homo Economics Department are represented by two junior and two senior girls. 1 he students of the Agricultural Department ore represented by two junior and two senior boys. There are two faculty advisers, one from the Home Economics Deportment and one from the Agricultural Department. The president ex-officio was Charles Boni. The junior Home Economics representatives were Kay King and Edith Relssman. The senior representatives were Jean Paterson and Barbara Hotchkin. The junior Agricultural representatives were Bornord Sennett and William Friday. The senior representatives were Lewis McCuire and Everett Clement. At the end of the first semester the Student Council personnel shifted due to the change in status of some of its members. Everett Clement resigned to accept an outside position. He was succeeded by Bernard Sennett who became a senior at the end of the first semester. Bernard Senne+t's position as junior Agriculture representative was then filled by Harry Karpialc who finished out the term. The function of the Student Council is to help the students with problems that they come up against on the campus. Because of the tremendous increase in the school enrollment this year the Student Council has had to solve on increasingly number of problems. The Student Council has seen to it that the library was opened on Wednesday evenings, os well as every other evening in the week and on Saturdays, so that the students could make use of it. The Council also had charge of the arrangement of the social calendar. It saw to it that no two activities met on tho same night. It arranged bus transportation to the basketball games. It sent delegates to two valuable Youth Conferences. It carefully allotted financial support to the campus clubs when it was justified. All money that was used by these clubs was used for the benefit of the entire student body. The Student Council organized and supervised the operation of the student store. The Trading Post , which is for the con venionce of the student body. It kept o close check on the working order of tho pianos and juke box and provided dancing for all the students each evening from six to eight o'clock and during the r.oon hours. It is regretable that Jean Paterson, Co-secretary was not able to be present for the group picture. page 13 First row: Spak. Boliswinger C. Smith, CoppilUro Bloom. Ell toff. Second row: O'Rourko.

Each branch is so divided that students may specialize in their desired interests. The young men returning from several year's of service arc conscious of the oppor tunity and necessity of further education. The technical and practical training they receive here prepares them to meet the ever-present problems of the American farmer which are greater today than ever before. Page 33 F riV row.

UcclMo - CHILD guidance seniors The enrollment in the Nursery School this year exceeds the enrollment of last year. Trero arc now twenty-five children whose ages range from two to five. Nursery school schedule begins at eight-thirty in the morning and lasts until four o’clock in the afternoon. The program is built around the needs of the children. The girls majoring in child study thus have full practical experience in individual and group work with young children, along with their class discussions, which stress the psychological aspects of child life. Thus we gain our training from nursery school and Classroom, under the able and understanding d.rect.on of Mrs. Pearson and N liss Rockett. INSTITUTIONAL MANAGEMENT SENIORS The school cafeteria is managed by the Senior Institutional Management girls under the supervision of M's. Elizabeth Frcnk. cafeteria director ond Miss Anno Cornwell, technical assistant.

Supplementing this experience, they ore given courses in Organization ond Mcnogement, hoeds Purchasing, Equipment and Furnishings ond Cotering. They recoivo valuable training in food cost control and accounting through the keeping of records in the school cofeteric. The cofotorio serves three meals a day to the student body. The girls hove done outstanding work in preparing ond arranging special dinners, of Chrlstmos ond for the-Alumni week-end. ■ M'S. E. Front. Inst'.: Colburn. Coppiilino. Nichols. Ansolmo. Kypto.

These ingenious students adjusted quickly to college life and soon assumed great responsibilities. A though we took some time to devolop a smooth organization we wero encouraged by cur competent class officers ord advisors. We held many social activities during the year, including the Ha’lowccn party square donees, a hay ride and the annual trip to Howe s Caves. In addition to these wo entered into the many general activities of the Institute — the clubs, newspaper and year book staffs, and assemblies. Our class took on important part in arranging for and conducting the farewell party for Dr. Wright. Now as we approach the threshold of our Senior year we take time out to wish the Seniors of 47 the best of luck. Page 37 McGuiro. Kone. Sow. THE TRADING POST The ’’Trading Post, our campus store, is a relatively new project started for the oenefit of the students here on the Hill. It s sitjated in the basement of Frisbie Holl in the Arts and Crafts room. Lewis McGuire, the store manager, and one of his three assistants. Joe Liebert, Mercia Kane or Richard Sorviss. can be found oehind the counter every day from 12:30 to 1:30 and from 4:00 to 5:00 except on Friday when the store is only open for on hour— 1:30 to 2:30. It is planned that in the near future on ice cream and sandwich ber will be added where ice cream, milk end sandwiches wili be sold. But for me present, many items such as: candy, cigarettes, cookies, gum, shoe polish, fountain pens, razor blades, ink. combs, bobby pins, toothpaste, stationery, pipes, scotch tape, can be bought at cost or a little above. No profit is made and the more items sold the more the student will benefit. Page 38 First row: ono. Hovkins. Rosonboorr.. Delong. Su‘ on. BoVor TcVij. Prott. Kniffon. Ewold. Sutho-ord.

The presenco of everyone who liked to sing or who liked music resulted in giving the club the largest enro lment ever achieved in its history. Under the leadership of Mr. Curtis, the club gained in confidence and soon boys and girls were b ending their voices in notes of song. By November we hod become skil cd enough to sing before the public and our first cppeorance was at a Thanks-giving assembly program. In December we were honored by being asked to sing for tho New Century Club of Coblcskill. Later in December we comoined forces with the Dramatics Club in the production cf a Christmas program. In Janjary wc took part in the forewc I party for Dr. and Mrs. Wright. The lest program in February proved the high ability of the Glee Club. At this time it once agoin combined with the Dramatics Club in accordance with Muse and Drama Night” tradition. Ihe themo of this production was This is My Courtry. a musical travelog. Thanks to Mr. Curtis, the club provided much enjoyment and entertainment for the members throughout the year and wo believe that our accomplishments were much appreciated by overyone who neord us. ) Page 40 ORCHESTRA First row: Bator.

Mr. Day Mr. Hewes Theta Gamma Epsilon, our local chapter, was organized in 1923. Over Ihe period of years it has been active in improving scholarship and school cooperation at N.Y.S.I.A. and with other neighboring chapters. When school opened last September there were eight active members. At the present time there ore seventeen student members. The social year started out with a terrific success, namely tho Frcternity Semi-formal Dance, with a turnout of students and alumni. Early in February we held a skating party which did much to improve the social functions at school. We also co-sponsored the Coronation Ball with the Alpha Sigma Delta Sorority. This year we agein gave the Athletic Trophy to tho Agricultural graduate who has established the most favorable record in athletics during his school course, including sportsmanship and active participation in other school activities, and who has attained a high scholastic standing. We also gave the first prize of five dollars to the Annual Prize Speaking Contest. Thus completing what we believe was a successful and happy year for all of N.Y.S.I.A.

Although our program has not been as advanced as tar as we would like, we expect to have a great deal accomplished by the end of next year. It has been interesting to r.oto that the veterans oss sted in developing the school's reputation in sports as well as in the academic field. Our basketball team is largely composed of ox G.I. s and about 75% or more of the mole student body are veterans. The school is enjoying an unusually good team o„d the monks in the :rubXr have been higher °n • than The ©yes of the country arc upon the veterans in the schools of the nation.

R.: ( In the first year after the war, on excellent basketball team returned to State School. Following in the footsteps of our previous teams our 1946-47 squac has proven itself worthy of upholding the Aggies tradition. Jay Spinak, on ex-Army Physical Education In structor. took up the reins of organizing the powerful quintet, which we may al! be proud of. Two returning veterans of the 1942-43 squad. Michael Spiak and Bill DiBacco contributed greatly to the success of th s year's squad. Michael was honored with the crown of captain. The precision of this team was fogged and pol-lished by the drill and toil of each member. Students and a umni look up to this club. Our pride is justified; the record speaks ror itself. Girl : Letter. Smegojki. Cop .: Booll. Ho'rington. Thorn'or. Boy : Popvsch. Wood , Sil ormor,. CHEERLEADERS i No gcme was complete without our enthusiastic cheerleaders. This lively seven. Dined by Cecelia Smcgoski, came to the fore, dur ng every game to spur the fighting B ack and Orange on o many victories. During tne first half of the year the girls devoted time and talenl to developing new cheers. Then came the added attraction to the squad, three men led by Paul Papusch, with their high spirited acrobatic cheeks and enthusiastic school spirit. Together, the combined efforts of these boys and girls hes resulted in splendid student body backing for our team. Page 54 First row: Burlo. Sec.' Phillips, lorenzon. Treos.: Pedorscn. Sonrctt. Pros.

'he class officers e ected for the first yecr were: President. Robert Frost; Vico-President. Clare Roseth Johnsen; Secretory. Evelyr Cappillino; Treasurer. Derick Brinckerhoff and Studcrt Council Representatives, Jean Mason. Eleanor Bouchard Hill. Lester Sharp and John B oom. In January, our Presiden was r rorroted to a Senior and Clcra Johnsen took over the duties of President. Derick Brinckerhoff also entered the Senior class in January and John Bloom then took over the duties of Treasurer. Two weeks after our arrival the girls went through two days of initiation which they shall never force!. The first activity we sponsored in our Junior year was c gay and rollic.kinq Hal-!ov e en party. We put in a qreat deal of time and effort on this affair to make it a successful parry for the Seniors were our guests. In the month of Jcnuary we put on a hay ride which was jlly enjoyed by all. although we were rather chi ly when we returned to school to have refreshments and entertainment. When February came alcnq with Volentincs and all, we geve a Valentine party which we all enjoyed very much. During the month of March, our class sponsored a roller skating party at which everyone had a wonderful time, not to soy anything about the bumps and bruises a good many of us received! Our Jun:or class was the one to start the regular basketba I games ogain. They had been discontinued during the war. Althougn our team endured a good many trials and tribulatiors our Senior year bore the fruit of this hard experience. When May came, our entire Junior class contributed whole-heartedly to make the Senior qraduot'on one which they shall always remember with satisfaction. In the fall of 1946. Cobleskill found its lost ycor's Juniors returning to N.Y.S.I.A. os proud Seniors. The class officers elected were as follows: President, Charles Boni: Vice-President. C ara Johnsen; Secretary. Margaret Hoskins; Treasurer, John Bloom and Student Council Representatives. Barbara Hotchkin. Jean Paterson, Lewis McGuire anc Everett Clement. In January our Vice-President, Clara Johnson, left schoo to join her husband, and Fred Balfour was elected to take her place. !n February. we had to make two other changes in our class officers when Fred Bal'our. our Vice-President, left school to accept a position and Everott Oement resigned as Student Council Representative. We then elected Edmjnd Smith as Vice-President of the class and Bernard Sennett os Student Council Representative to finish out the year. In Seotember. wo sponsored an Acquaintance Dance to qrcet the Juniors. This proved to be a great success. The Juniors returned the compliment by inviting us to their Hallowo or party. In December we sponsored an informal Christmos Dance with music by the Kokillans. The gym, decorated in green and white, was filled with dancers. Now that we are ready to leave our school and enter into our various chosen fields, wo cannot help feeling sad when we look back on oil the good times we have had on “the Hill . May each graduating class after us enjoy the r years at N.Y.S.I.A. os we have. The shades were drawn and there was hardly any iight in the room as I entered. In the middle ol this darkered room sat a man gazing into a crystal boll. I asked Mr. Igbad if he would foretel! the future o; the graduating class o 1947 from N.Y.S.I.A. He started to rub his crystal ball and gazed hard at it. This is what he foretold: “As I look into my crystcl ball. I see a lady. Yes, it is Jean Arselmo, and she is standing at the door of her own restaurant on the formal opening night. Fred Balfour is still saying Ladies and gentlemen but he is starting to auction some anticues. He began with ccttle auctioning, but it proved to be rather boring because no ladies we e allowed. The next form that comes into my crystal bal is that of John Blcom. He will be known from New Yo'k to California for his vegetable end fruit inspection. And at Cobloskill his wife will be waiting for him to return home at the end of the season. Ed Smith, also in tho same field, wil oe known all over the United States as the I 'eod of the Fruit Insoec-tion Bureau, a division of the Agricultural Deportment in Washington. D. C. Charles Boni with his understanding and wonderful cooperation w II be the next mayor of Albany, and when his four sons grow up he will enter them in N.Y.S.I.A. Lois Wilson wil bo taking over Arthur Murray's dancing school, and on the side lines she will be the head cook ot tho Waldorf Astoria. I see a fireplace with a group around it. The forms ore coming in view, and it is Derick Brinc er-hoff and Crma, living at h'shkilt, entertaining Everett and Lois Clement, that I see. The Clements took the time off from raising chickens to come and see the Brinckcrhoffs. I see a piano with Clyde Decker playing. Frankie Carle has had his day. and Clyde is now tops. Besides his music, he has his form and h s family. Jessica Loose is the head superintendent in the “North Country Nursery . Tho gloss shows a change to come soon. She will be living in her own homo and using her psychology on her own children. Bill DiBacco and Mitch Spick are still playing wonderful basketball, but there will be an odd tion to the twosome — their sons will be on the court with them, and Bill's and “Mitch's wives will be sitting in the front seals. Another home is forming, but this home belongs to Cappy and Tooy . Cappy will be kept busy as usual with the little jumping boxes around the house — Toby and the children. Arthur Ferguson is on his way to North Carolina to his wife and the Ferguson M-Tk Plant. He is rather disappoinled because he hos only one boy and five girls. I see Charles Gadey with a smile of contentment. Ho is happy: but then with a famous French cook preparing his moos why shouldn't he be? Gather no Colburn is the head dietitian at the Jamestown Hospital with Artie ot homo wa’ting for her. I can see Clarice Elliott and Frances Fidlor now famous Amorican Culinary Artists on their way to Europe to work at the Grand Hotel in Rome, and the Hotel Nazzare in Paris. A farm just outside of Cobleski I appears in the Crystal ball. It belongs to Lovern Howes, who is keepinq up the farm v hilo ho teaches ot tho Institute of Agriculture following his father's footsteps. I see a famous writer, none other than Grace Mann, the expert on the Health of Babies. Sho is compefinq with Josephine Kenyon after roceiv ng troining at Cornell. Is thal a tall, dark man all dressed up in a tall hat and a black suit, posing as on Ambassador? II is Irving Rudnick. self styled Ambussado' of Good Will to Women. Belly Hodgdon will be married but she will be sitting on needles and pins because Bi I will be a Test-Pilot for the Army. Paul Montayne is one of the largest greenhouse operators in the Eastern port of the country. Mig Haskin has her own nursery right here in Cobleskill. Her name will be Angle. Walt Wehnau and Ruth Hoshko can be seen living on a large, progressive farm- happily married with a growing family! Helen Soickcrmon will be the second Betty Crocker w h her own “Marketbasket program on the leading networks. A famous cook aooears into Ihe crysta ball and it is Marcia Bellswinger. Ned finds her cooking very good now that he's out of R.P.I. Russ Phillips and Albert Bender hove fheir own fruit farm. I heir famous fruit takes al the Blue Ribbons at State and County Fairs. Dick Serviss is now Chiof of the Library of Congress in Washington. Ruth Nichols soon will be one of the leading Kelly’s of New Jersey. Tom Holton is a rich poultryman and will soon run for Senator from New York State. Walt Lindcckc is living at his farm in Cobleskill and I can see him going lo Sororoga to see Steve Merchant's famous racing horses as they take tho first prize. Steve will be happily mamied but the crystal boll isn't too clear — either to his horses or his wife! I ! Lester and Phyllis Sharp are living on their big form, happily married. Lester will be the owner of the largest aairy plant in Dutchess County. Page 62 P OfJtecu I see a magazine advertisement for Revlon Fingernail Polish and they ere usinq Rita Kupka’s fingernails for advertising. Her nails were chosen as the most perfect nails in the country. There is a white uniform before me and it belongs to Dr. Betty Macintosh; the famous children's doctor. But how long she will be carrying on the Macintosh name my crystal ball does not reveal: (refers to no one at N.Y.S.I.A.) Everett Page, well-known florist has his products used as illustrations for table decorations in the leading magazines. The training that was given at N.Y.S.I.A. must be very good because Jean Mason and Helen Williams are using the knowledge in their own mocel homes. I see some very dense woods, in fact they oro the jungles of Borneo. Jo Searing is the head of the nursery there for native children. She will go down in history as a second Osa Johnson. Joanne Gooley will be a famous psychiatrist for a children's hospital. Bernice Knopf in her own quiet way now runs a large nursery in New York City. Jay Charles is the chief Bacteriologist for the Borden’s Milk Company. The dam that Fred Zweifel starred in 1947 will finally be completed in I9S0. He will be living on o large farm of his own. Edward Webster is producer of the new Webster car that will be soon on the markets. He finally passed Steve and left him in the dust. Joseph Leibert will be roising ducks so their feathers can be used to manufacture pillows. He will also be the chief tester for Beauty Rest Mattresses. If you read the Nutrition Reviews in the near future you will see Jean Paterson's name on the cover-page as tho editor of that magazine. Edward Romano is still a confirmed bachelor but he is making plenty of money in the poultry business. Freda Sturgeon is the Madam Lamour of the Lonely Hearts Club and by her wonderful understanding of people she sow to it that Roland Fox finally, afrer many years of trying, got married and is now the proud father of eight children. The gates of Hollywood will be opened wide to receive our second Kathryn Hepburn of Coble-skill. June Sutherland is under contract to M.G.M. I sec a marriage certificate and it belongs to a certain Melv n Jones. He finally persuaded Maggie Gallagher to leave her nursery and live on the farm with him. McGuire's Ice Cream will become famous and Lewis McGuire will be responsible for it. I see Barbara Pinkerton dressed in white at a church but the form of the goom is blurred and I can't make out who it is. I am sure it will be the right one. Istnat Rosemary Poncpinto I see going from Army Camp to Army Camp? Yes, it is and she is finally married to Norman who has signed up for another fifteen years! ! ! Bernice Fancher is head of an orphanage but only until Paul gets through college and then she will hove her own nursery. Fronk Shields will be the sole owner of the Shields Milk Plant Inc. He is still running away from girls? In the crystal ball he is beginning to slow up a bit. There are two forms whirling around; it is a boy and a girl and the boy is Jack Woods. He is dancing with one of the six beautiful Dai-y Maids. Jack, the owner of a large dairy farm, seems to be giving more attention to his dairy maids than to his cows. After ten years I see jean O'Rourke still living in a socicl whirl of Cobleskill. She finally married Brud Ryder. Sandy Johnson is the manager in her own kitchen: managing a large family of boys is a full time job. Leon Spitzer has become the top veterinarian in New York State. Mary Haggort will be one of the famous Diamond Horse Shoe girls of Broadway. She is well-known for her flaming red hair. What a figure ! ! ! Pardon me but Natalie Tompkins just walked by modeling one of the bathing suits for the Powors Modeling Agency. If you read the Better Homes and Gardens’ or The American Home magazines you will see Bernie Sennet t’s name among the famous landscaping gardens in America. Robert Doming, Albert Van Nederynen and Paul Allen will be the owners of large poultry farms. Their Chickens will be of the best quality. Henry Sleasmon owns an Ice Cream Plant along with his wife. Doreen Butler wi'l be featured in seme of the leading Broadway shows — ro-onacting parts played by Tallulah Bankhead. Douglas White will be a progressive farmer and will be the future president of the Dairyman s Leogue. There is only one person loft to prophesise and that is you. The crystal ball is rather confused because it sees you as a career woman, but whether or not you will be married it does not reveal. Thank you, Mr. Igbad, for telling the future of the graduating class. It was very interesting to see what my classmates are going to bo. After I had paid Mr. Igbad, I turned around and left the gloomy room that had revealed so much to me and went home. Page 63 li______ Mr. and Mrs. Spickerman Mr. and Mrs. Harrington Mr. and Mrs. H. A.
