BREATH OF LIFE
'-.* And the Lord God, formed man of the dust of the
X" ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of
life; and man became a living soul.
In our troubled days it is heartening to recall a
" human who walked among us and with his creator.
His humble and difficult youthhood, the dedication of
"i his life to his fellow humans.
The faith of his fathers guided his gentle ways,
, the goal was crystal clear, the obstacles numerous.
Youth and his problems were dear to him and he con-
secrated his physical and mental energies, his
meager material wealth to their well being.
His breath of life, gave sustenance to a hall of
learning in a profession he considered "the purest,
noblest, most blessed calling of all." That is the
heritage of Farm School and the National Agricul-
tural College, the soul of Dr. Joseph Krauskopf.
'Dedicated
to
When it came time for the Class to decide to whom this
Book should be Dedicated, no problem arose. One Name was
thought of above all others. The Name was that of a philan-
thropist, a Man who must surely love his Fellow Men.
Choosing Edwin B. Elson to receive this Honor was an ex-
cellent choice. The selection of his Name was the only way,
and the best way, to show Our heartfelt appreciation for the
wonderful service he rendered the Student Body of this great
College.
There is an old phrase used by economists. "Psychic In-
come" is the phrase, and "Psychic Income" is what Edwin B.
Elson gave. For his donation of Elson Hall Dormitory adds
greatly to the living comfort of the Student Body. This New
and Modern structure will always be remembered by those of
us who first lived there as a place of Comfort and Convenience.
And so again, we can only say Thank You.

Jh Appreciation
TTie National Agricultural College is the natural outgrowth of its
parent institution, the National Farm School. And the School was
created by Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf.
Joseph Krauskopf. the son of a lumber dealer, was born in
Germany in 1858, on the twenty-first of January. He came to this
country at the age of fourteen, and settled in Massachusetts.
He soon developed the desire to be a Rabbi, and after receiving
his B. A. from the University of Cincinnati in 1883, he became a stu-
dent in the first graduating class of the Hebrew Union College.
During his lifetime Dr. Krauskopf was a pioneer and worker in
many religious and civic movements. The school was said to be in
part both of these.
Dr. Krauskopf, through his personality, oratory, and travels,
gained many friends and supporters for the school. This remained,
during his life, his most important single contribution to the growth
and welfare of the school.

Throughout the three years that the
Junior Class has been on Campus, \t has
been outstanding in its campus activities.
The class contribution of college lead-
ers is one of its proudest remembrances.
The class had its lighter side, too. The
Square Dance, one of the most successful
ever put on, was the class's crowning
social achievement. Hard cider, hayrides,
decorations, and good music all combined
to make this affair the big success of the
season.
The class likes to remember that its
freshman beer party was distinguished by
the fact that no members were blinded,
and that they were all able to navigate back
to the dorm.
The class finished the year with the
Junior-Senior Prom, a beautiful and digni-
fied affair. Music and romantic surround-
ings made that evening the perfect ^"'^ to
a grand year.

The Class of 1955, although the smallest
on campus, has proved to be a very active
group in all school functions.
They are known for their ability to put
on excellent dances, as witnessed by the
Christmas Dance. They are very active in
intramural spwrts as well as in the varsity
sports.
Their courage was challenged on the
night that they took a freshman class, three
times their size, out for the traditional
walk, and they managed to keep this per-
fectly under control at all times. However,
this 'accomplishment' was overshadowed by
the fact that the freshmen were able to pull
the sophs through the horse pond, in the an-
nual tug-of-war, to end the hazing.

The Class of 1956 contributed to many
activities on campus. They gave a good
many good men to the football team and
other sports.
The freshmen also had a great many
singers who contributed their fine voices
to the College Glee Club. The traditional
Tug-Of-War between the sophs and frosh
was won by the lowerclassmen, thus ending
hazing.
"A- Day" was one of the best that the
College has ever seen, and comprised of
the activities of many of the freshmen.
Many of the men were prize winners in
competition with the upperclassmen.

yearbook Committee
Late in 1952 when our thoughts were
far from graduation, the Cornucopia Staff
was chosen. Mike Aiello was chosen Editor,
Pete Krusch Managing Editor, and Ed Van-
sant Business Manager.
These three men joined the nucleus of
the staff which through much effort and hard
work produced this year's Cornucopia.
The senior yearbook is the accumula-
tion of the events which have occurred
during our four years here at the college.
In years to come our yearbook will be
something to look at and remember the
happy days spent at college.
The Senior Class extends its thanks to
the editor, staff, and everyone connected
with the yearbook.

Student Council
In the past few years the Student Council has
become increasingly important on the campus,
but this year under the able leadership of Pres-
ident Lew Sacharnoski the council has come
into its own. This year practically all extra-
curricular activities have been sponsored or
planned by the council. Among the many activi-
ties handled were the dances, movies, club
meetings, the student canteen, the student lounge,
and assembly programs. These are but a few of
the more important functions. It is the job of a
good council to form a link between the adminis-
tration and student body, and this year we have
realized a strong sense of cooperation between
these two components of our college.
Probably one of the more important func-
tions of the council is the Student Court. TTie
Student Court is an organ of the Student Council
made up of members chosen by the Student
Body to maintain the high quality of citizenship
on the college campus.
The Student Court with M. Aiello, judge; E. Vansant,
prosecutor; and the jury made up of other council
members.

The GLEANER is the official publication of
the student body of the National Agricultural
College. This year the GLEANER has combined
with the Alumni Gleanings to increase its cir-
culation and size of issue.
Through the fine cooperation of the Business
Administration and College Administration, the
GLEANER has been able to make great strides
towards its goal of being one of the finest Agri-
cultural College magazines in the country.
Under the leadership of its Editor-in-Chief,
Joseph L. Chernicoff, and Managing Editor, H.
Gessner Nash, the members of the GLEANER
staff have been able to learn much about agri-
cultural journalism and magazine organization
in the GLEANER(Ag Journalism 1 Credit) Class.

Horticulture Club
With the enrollment of a large freshman
class this past semester, the Horticultural
Society has considerably increased its active
membership over past years.
Many interesting programs have been planned
to make this year in the Horticultural Society
beneficial educationally, as well as a source of
entertainment for active members.
Our first speaker was Miss Tintleman, rep-
resentative of W. A. Burpee Seed Company.
Miss Tintleman gave a very interestingly illus-
trated talk on Bu'-pee's seed production tech-
nique, and she also showed us many beautiful
color slides of flower arrangements made
with Burpee name variety seeds.
The second speaker was a veterinarian. Dr.
Louis Leiboritz of the New Britain Animal
Hospital. The Doctor spoke to us about plants
toxic to animals. His talk was extremely in-
formative to those of us who have animals of
our own.
Movies were also shown, one of special in-
terest to Horticulture majors, dealing with
growing and marketing horticultural products,
and the other film of tropical plants of the
Bahamas used by our southern neighbors.
In the last semester our main efforts will
be to produce another fine Horticulture Show
in our Gym for A- Day.
With our coming field trips to the Phila-
delphia Flower Show in March and a trip to
Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve, this year
is sure to come to a successful close with "a
good time had by all."

'Dairy Society
Dairy and animal husbandry at one of the many live-
stock shows and sales which they attend during the
year. In the outer foreground is Dr. Pelle.
This year again, the Dairy Club succeeded
to secure itself the same high standing of a
prominent and efficient Club, as it has been the
tradition throughout the recent years.
The Club's aim is to supply scientific and
practical information with the help of guest-
speakers, as well as fieldtrips and movies, in
the field of Dairy Production and its allied
fields.
The highlight of this year's activities was a
visit to the U. S. D. A. research projects, lec-
tures about the breeding program and the
methods employed in agricultural research.
Another event was the life-size demonstration
of a parlor-milking system, which was attended
by a great number of dairy farmers in this
locality.
The Club's greatest event though is, and
always has been, "A" Day, originally initiated
by the Dairy Club, on which the members sum
up their yearly activities by the showing of
dairy cattle and other exhibits.
Aside from the required studies, the college
student has many extra curricular activities
which keep him busy. Some of these activities
may be useful and some of them may be pri-
marily for pleasure.
One activity that a student of an agricultural
college can take part in is the joining of a club
dealing with his chosen field or profession.
The Poultry Science Club gives an oppor-
tunity for its members to come into contact
with many of the problems of the poultry in-
dustry.
Also there is a chance to work on projects
that vary in scope from raising broilers to
sanitation and disease problems affecting man
and bird.
Our club this year has purchased duck eggs
which we will incubate, and then the ducklings
will be reared. Marketing of the ducks will also
be an educational activity.
Club members are also afforded the oppor-
tunity to hear speakers, see movies of interest
dealing with the industry, and visit places of
interest such as research stations, and mar-
keting outlets.

Several years ago a few members of the
Dairy Society, who were majors in Animal
Husbandry, with a primary interest in live-
stock, organized the N. A.C. Animal Husbandry
Club.
The response by the school was immediate,
and the club has held a position of high mem-
bership since.
The purpose of the club is manifold, of
which the first might be, a stimulation of
interest in the field of animal science. Another
important goal is to augment the formal educa-
tion of the student. This is carried out by having
speakers, movies, demonstrations, projects,
field trips and general discussions related to
both the technical and practical phases of agri-
culture.
The two outstanding events of the year are
the Pennsylvania Farm Show at Harrisburg, and
"A" Day at the college.
At the farm show club members exhibit
animals in state-wide competition. "A" Day is
the culmination of the year when club members
proudly show the animals which they have fitted
up personally.

The Varsity Club is the only exclusive club
on the campus. Membership is gained by winning
a varsity letter in football, baseball, or basket-
ball.
This club is one of the most important as
well as busiest on campus. Club members
handle refreshment stands at all sports and
other special events including A- Day. The
Varsity Club stand on A-Day is famous for its
barbecued chicken.
The first dance of the year is sponsored and
conducted by the club.
Probably the most important function of the
club is the administration of all intramural
sports at the college.
To signify membership in the club, fresh-
man members may receive beer mugs and
special varsity club jackets.

The Photography Club is comparatively new
on our campus. Started three or four years ago
it has since grown to an active and very im-
portant club on the campus.
The club welcomes new members, especially
freshmen. The new members are taught all
phases and methods of photography by old club
members.
This year under the leadership of President
Bert Litoff, the club has set up a dark room in
the basement of the faculty house. Slowly but
surely they have been gathering equipment,
until they have gotten a fine dark room set up.
Each year the club runs a photo contest for
"A" Day with ribbons and cash prizes being
given to individual winners.
The club's advisor, Mr. Segal, has given
invaluable advice as well as equipment to the
club. We of the yearbook staff wish to thank the
members and advisor of the Photography Club
for the assistance which they have given us.

Started a few years ago several students
organized an informal singing group.
This year the club has expanded to a mem-
bership of between 40-50 men.
Each week these men on their own time
meet in the evening, under the leadership of
Mr. Harry Purcel, to sing together.
During the school year the club gives con-
certs in the Bucks County and Philadelphia

Each May the students of N. A. C. produce a
field day, better known as A-Day.
A-Day has grown from a good "little idea"
of the Dairy Society in 1949 to the most im-
portant student function of the year.
The administration of this affair is ably
carried on by the A-Day Committee, which an-
nually picks up the pieces in September, that
put together, form the working gears of A-Day.
The members of the committee are chosen
from every class, club and organization on the
campus plus any additional volunteers.
Under the able leadership of Ott Collings
the committee is in charge of planning all
events, entertainment, refreshments and ad-
vertising concerning A-Day.
Everyone connected with the college can be
proud of the fine job done by this committee.

BASKETBALL
With the hanging up of helmets, and with the
smell of snow in the air, N. A.C.'s athletes
begin their laps around the gym. Yes, with the
change in weather comes the beginning of the
basketball season, the beginning of a new
season for the Aggies' rooters.
This year's squad, with the return of many
lettermen, and the prospects of a few prom-
ising freshmen, set out, determined to have a
winning season. However, this was not to be, as
our opponents had other plans in store for us.
Rounding out the old pros of Cal Kidder, Ed
Vansant, and Hal Tannin, was reserve Ed Flem-
ing, a senior who was part of last year's bench
strength. Our bench, made up mostly of fresh-
men, should be of value in future years. Re-
member the names of Stammel, Chubb, and In-
dek.
Cal Kidder returned to his spot of play-
making guard after sitting out most of last
season with a broken ankle. Cal surprised no
one with his running, shooting, and ability to
keep the ball going around until an opening was
found.
Hal Tannin did his usual job along with Kid-
der, occasionally dropping in some long sets.
Fleming, with his high-footed push shot, made
himself a real favorite with quick field goals
when the chips were down.
Ed Vansant, who kept the coaches guessing
for years, was his usual "easy" going self. Al-
ways dependable off the backboards, Ed had a
little trouble opening the chords on the basket.
An inspiring figure on the court at all times
was Don Peters. Unforgettable to the local
crowd as well as all those before whom he
played is Jim "Chiz" Lipari. Team leader in
every department, Jim was, without a doubt,
the most colorful player the Aggies could
boast in the past three seasons. As all good
things, "Chiz" will be missed more when the
next season opens.

Man at Bat - Harry Conover
Due to bad weather, the Aggie baseball squad started
practice in the gym about the first of April. TTie boys
spent their time getting loosened up and learning the fun-
damental defensive plays. On occasion, a pitcher would
become a little wild and 'bean' somebody in the close
quarters, but the experience was valuable.
The pitching squad was filled out by two seniors and
two freshmen. Seniors "Doc" Cromwell and Lew Shelby
carried the load of the pitching chores while the squad
found able replacements in "Bronk" Sanders and Eddie
Pouttu. The other half of the batteries were filled by two
experienced backstops - Charlie Lorenz and Harry "Luigi"
Conover.
John Guisti was the only other senior on the squad,
holding down second base and occasionally covering right
field.
Although the team's record wasn't too impressive, the
boys played hard and enjoyed the game. Many instances
shall never be forgotten. One of the greatest being the
upset of Bloomfield College with a left-handed second
baseman being our defensive star!

A" DAY
On "A Day", 1953, we had rain for the first
time since the event was first scheduled in 1949.
Despite the inclement weather, a fine crowd
turned out to see the results of many months'
hard work on the part of the student body. A
new twist was added with a radio show over the
Mutual Network.
Financially, it was the best "A Day" we
have had, giving a good backlog for next year's
staff to get rolling with. Hats off to our chair-
man. Art Coilings, and his fine committee! They
leave with a fine tradition to carry on a bigger
and better "A Day" every year!
