Realizing the fact that our Two- Year Course is
still in its infancy and that we, the Pioneer Class, in
our activities will have considerable bearing on the
welfare and future of the classes to follow, it is our
desire to leave for the coming classes a high standard
of action, both in the class room and among our asso-
ciates on the campus. Tradition and custom are a
determining -factor in promoting fellowship and loy-
alty. Not only must this loyalty be evident while
we are in college; we must make it felt when we go
out into our life work. We feel that the establish-
ment of this annual publication will help bind us
together, and especially will it tend to make us loyal
to our college, and our Two- Year Course, when we
are alumni.

The members of the Class of 1921, the first large class to be graduated from
the Two-Year Course, have lived through the pioneer days of the organization
of the course. They are familiar with the proljlems arising in connection with
its growth and development, and this history can be for them but a record of
past experience. It is, however, a real pleasure to express at this time sincere
appreciation of the spirit of loyalty and co-operation that has been shown by
the members of this class, and to acknowledge that whatever progress may have
been made is due in no small measure to the good sense and good will of this
group of men and women.
The position of Director of Short Courses was created in September, 1917,
with a view to the further development of this type of service rendered by the
college to the state. At that time plans for the further development of short
courses were under consideration. One of these plans involved action on the
resolution that had been passed in May, 1917, by both houses of the legislature
of the Commonwealth (Senate No. 374) relative to the establishment of a Two-
Year Course. At a meeting of the trustees held soon afterward it was voted
that the resolution of the legislature should be carried out in letter and in spirit.
The resolution adopted in concurrence is as follows:
"Resolved, That in the opinion of the general court there should be estab-
lished at the Massachusetts Agricultural College a two years' course in practical
agriculture upon the completion of which certificates of graduation should be
granted, that the course should be opened to all residents of the commonwealth
who have attained the age of seventeen years and who possess the educa-
tional qualifications necessary for admission to any public high school of the
commonwealth."
That the legislative resolution voiced a real demand for the organization
of such a course in this state is shown by the increase in enrollment during the
past three years in this course.
enrollment in ti)e tEtoO'liear Coursic
1918 1919 1920 1921 (to May 1st)
~W 209 280 324
Though the attendance was small the first year, on account of the Federal
draft, and unusually large the second year, owing to the fact that disabled men
were sent to the college by the Federal Board for Vocational Education, the
demand for this course in this state is shown by the fact that one hundred Fresh-
men, exclusive of Federal men, were enrolled in September, 1920. The organi-
zation of such courses in agricultural colleges is not a new departure in the serv-
ice these institutions are rendering in the several states. Thirty-six of the forty-
eight agricultural colleges offer one or two year short courses, and among these
colleges are numbered some of the most powerful agricultural educational institu-
tions. Short courses are another means of carrying out the. spirit of democracy in
education that inspired the Morrill Act.
The first term of the Two-Year Course was offered in December, 1917, and
11
closed in March, 1918. On account of the labor conditions due to the war emer-
gency it was deemed inadvisable to attempt more than a four months' course.
During that winter, the course was organized on the two-year basis — the first
year consisting of six months' study at the college, plus six months of farm prac-
tice: the second year to consist of nine months' resident study. The experience
of the past three years has shown that the course must provide education in
certain fundamental subjects for all students, and offer at the same time provi-
sion for a student to specialize in the particular lines of work in which he is inter-
ested. At this writing the course is being reorganized to make greater special-
ization possible.
The objective of short course work is very clearly defined. It is to provide
such practical instruction and training as will fit men and women for Massaichu-
setts farms and Massachusetts farm life. The development of agriculture in
Massachusetts necessitates the training of larger numbers of men and women
who will have had such instruction as will enable them to make the farms pro-
duce more and pay better, and to realize the opportunities offered by agriculture
in the state. Many groups of men and women demand this kind of instruction.
They vary from those who have finished the eighth grade to the college graduate,
but the majority of short course students come with a background of practical
farm experience and a certain maturity of thought and judgment arising out of
life experience.
No course would, however, serve the needs of young men and women which
did not recognize fully the fact that the chief characteristic of farming is that it
is both a life and a living. From the beginning, it has been part of the policy
in the development of this course to create social and recreational advantages.
The first step was the engagement of a coach, "Em." Grayson, who has built up
baseball, basketball, football, track, etc. The fraternal life of the student body
has been supported by class and other organizations. Thus far three clubs have
been organized — the Kolony Klub, the A. T. G. Club, and the W. T. E. Club.
A beginning has been made this year in the development of dramatics. It may
be well to state here a few of the general policies of administration: (1) Sepa-
rate classes are maintained for the two-year students in order that the instruc-
tion may be adapted to the group and the fundamental principles of the courses
be maintained. (2) The course is distinctly vocational in its nature and as
intensive and practical as time and money permit. (3)' It is maintained by a
separate budget, granted by the legislature, and is not a charge on the general
college. Funds are provided for both instruction and maintenance. (4) In
the employment of instructors, it has been the policy to secure men of college
grade. These do not form a separate staff, but teach all classes and groups of
students in the institution. (5) A large measure of personal responsibility is
laid upon the student body. The student body is represented by the Two-Year
Student Council, an organization which has rendered excellent service in the
development of men and morale. The Two- Year Course has now passed the
experimental stage. It seems destined to have a powerful influence on the
agricultural interests of this Commonwealth.

Ilisitorp of tfje Cla^s^ of 1921
On September 27, 1919, the Two- Year Class of 1921, the f rst class to com-
plete a full Two-Year Course at Massachusetts Agricultural College, made its
appearance upon this campus. The class numbered one hundred and ninety-
six members, of whom eighty-six were ex-service men, sent here by the Federal
Board for Vocational Education, and eight were women students, commonly
called "Co-eds." We far outnumbered the senior class, and as they had no rules
with which to govern us, we proceeded to govern ourselves as best we could
until some satisfactory form of student government should be established.
As the first large class of its kind, we found ourselves confronted with
numerous obstacles and difficult problems in which there were no precedents to
guide us. We very naturally felt that our actions and decisions would have a
lasting influence that would be felt by future classes, and, with that in mind,
we organized the class and elected officers in order that we might better direct
our progress toward the firmer establishment of the Two- Year Course. The
first permanent class officers, who were elected in December, and guided us so
ably, were; Gordon P. Loomer, President; Mary E. Bruce, Vice-President;
Zorayda K. Owens, Secretary; Stevens F. Dole, Treasurer.
During the fall of 1919 a football team was organized, and, although some
difficulty was experienced in obtaining games, a fine start was made, with pros-
pects of a brilliant future. In the winter term a basketball team was developed,
but did not have a very successful season if scores alone are considered, due
largely to the raw material with which the coach had to work.
On November 15, 1919, a temporary Student Council, appointed by Presi-
dent Butterfield, held its first meeting. Members of 1921 have served faithfully
on the permanent organization which grew out of this meeting, and largely
through their efforts the Council has developed into a stable and influential gov-
erning body. We feel that the first year of our course was a profitable one,
and that when we left in March, we left a record of accomplishment behind us.
We returned to the campus in September, 1920, after an absence of six
months, somewhat depleted in numbers, and found a Junior Two- Year Class,
fully as large as ourselves, waiting for us to train it in the way it should go. In
this regard, we are well satisfied with our efforts, and although a little cold water
was required to dampen the superfluous ardor of certain Freshmen, we certainly
27
are proud of our Junior Class, which we are depending upon to take up our work
where we lay it down. Mr. Loomer, our president, did not return to college,
and it is well to mention here the work of Miss Mary Bruce, our vice-president,
who served so ably in his stead during the first term of the current year. At
the January meeting, new class officers, as follows, were elected: President,
Carl E. Libby; vice-president, Gordon E. Steele; secretary, Norman F. Mac-
Leod; treasurer, Stevens F. Dole; sergeant-at-arms, Walter R. Trafton.
Feeling that we wanted something worth while at Commencement, when we
leave Massachusetts Agricultural College, after two happy years, to enter our
life work, a committee was chosen, the results of whose endeavors are published
elsewhere in this volume. In taking this step we feel that we are establishing a
precedent to be adopted by future classes, and to which we can look back with
justifiable pride.
The Two- Year Class of 1921 has to the best of its ability upheld and fos-
tered the traditions of this college. It entered here not knowing what problems
and difficulties might confront it. It leaves here with a clean record, one
which is a credit to the college and a credit to the men and women who helped to
make it. . .

1897; Dairy; W. T. E.
A cheerful man, worth knowing. Prominent in col-
lege and town activities, C. C. is well liked wherever he
is known. If you receive a rousing slap on the back
and some one says, "Hello, bum," 3'ou can at once tell
it is Allen. Just at present he is making Springfield
appreciate good dairy products. He is trying out some
of Prof. Judkins' theories on the people of that city.
Experiments so far have been without fatalities. Chet
has theories of his own on successful and desirable
farming. One is that the farmer should work union
hours at union wages. We wish him all success and
will be glad to work for him some day.

"Rawcer"
New Bedford 29 Lincoln Avenue
1898; Vegetable Gardening; Pomology Club (1).
Coming from a whaling town, one might expect
Roger to be a whale of a guy. But he isn't; he's not
very big and he doesn't blow a bit. Before we knew
Roger well, we doped him out for a deacon, but time
has told. He has never been seen in the vicinity of
the Adams House, but he has absent-mindedly left
circumstantial evidence around at times. Roger is a
model youth; he doesn't smoke, and he never misses
chapel, even seems to enjoy the short nap he gets
there. His one bad habit is betting, and he is a con-
sistent loser. How he manages to keep cheerful in the
face of his losses we don't know.

One of the hardest working girls on the campus.
This ambitious young lady manages to keep busy from
morning till night. We are sure that some time she
will reap that reward which is the recompense of
all hard work. Maude pitches right into farming
with all her energy. She can tell you more about the
college farm, live stock, and crops than half the men
that work on it. She is quiet and reserved but mighty
likable. Maude is a little girl with a big heart, an
example to any who think they are working hard.

This tall, bespectacled youth hails from the same
town that Alvin H. Fuller made famous, and promises
to make it even more famous in the future. He's very
quiet except when he gets warmed up to his subject, —
and then ! Evidently he intends removing his residence
from Somerville as we understand most of the farming
land in that city is largely devoted to the raising of
city blocks. Frank is alwaj'S in a hurry to get home
after finals, and it is said that home possesses more
than ordinary attractions. If the Slow and Easy
should stop running to Boston Frank would make it
on his bicycle.

Every one knows Barney. ■ Did you ever know any
one with that name who wasn't popular? One letter
is left out. It should be Blarney. The name, good
nature, and popularity just naturally go together.
Barney comes from Maine, Aroostook County, in fact,
the place that made potatoes famous. He is down
there now raising a bumper crop, we have no doubt,
and is causing the old boys to sit up and take notice.
Barney says there is just one precaution to be observed
in successful potato planting, and that is not to get
the sets in upside down.

A man of many attainments is Bal; a snappy dresser,
a good entertainer, a conscientious student, and a
peach of a dancer, in fact, for most anything on the
list Bal fills the bill. He likes a good time and is strong
for the chickens, as Mr. Banta, or most any one else,
will vouch for. The conductors on the Holyoke line
hold the last car a half hour three nights a week when
Sam goes visiting. Over in Hanip they are not so
accommodating, so Sam walks home from there.
Bal's ambition is to supply New York City with eggs
and broilers.

"Lawnmower"
Spencer North Amherst
; Animal Husbandry.
This spirited young citizen from the wilds of Spen-
cer blew in at "Aggie" with a bang. He hadn't been
here a week before he was firmly convinced that he
had a little edge on the profs. Be it cattle or swine,
farm management or crops, that is the topic for dis-
cussion, this boisterous son of the soil throws a smooth
line. Last year Ray joined the Grange in Amherst,
and since then he has been well known in the town
society. At present "Lawnmower" is down in Rhode
Island raising hogs. Even if he doesn't make any
profit, he figures he'll have the use of the hogs for six
months.

"Rab's" supreme good nature and ready wit have
won for him a high place in the regard of his class-
mates. " Rab" jokes on every day of the week, every
hour of the day, and we suggest a visit to him as the
very best treatment for the blues. He has made quite
a reputation as a liar. We hasten to add that this
was not in his everyday life, but was behind the glare
of the footlights. " Rab" is, we will have to admit, a
most convincing talker and can make you believe al-
most anything if he has the chance. He is going to
try his powers on fruit trees after leaving here and we
wish him success.

"Al" is the wiry gentleman from the city famous
for its wire products. He does his best, his most dis-
tinctive work, at second base on the diamond. He is
ne.xt best known at the Hadley Center town hall
where he and "Dutch" are prone to stray of an even-
ing to shake a foot with the Onion King's daughter.
"Chub" is holding down the captaincy of the team, for
which we hope a successful season. Once in awhile
he goes to class, but he's majoring in baseball.

mittee.
"Bozzie" is one of those likable chaps who win your
friendship by saying nothing except when necessary
and by always making themselves agreeable. He
ranks high on all his class work, indicating a conscien-
tious scholar. His future work is to be with fruit
trees, an occupation he enjoys very much, with one
exception. He objects very strongly to pruning a
tree when some one above his head is scraping bark.
Earl is a member of the Commencement Committee
and is doing his share to make it a big success.

1895; Floriculture; Manager Football (2); Flori-

Rather a quiet chap, this man Broqker, probably
because he prefers to do things rather than talk about
them. "Rocky" comes from the city, the one which
claims Boston as a suburb, Ro.xbury. Some one has
complained of the distance one has to travel in order
to get a train in Amherst, but John maintains that
that is nothing compared to the miles he has traveled
hunting for an "l^" train for Dudley Street. Between
classes J. P. spends his spare time driving about in his
Ford lemonseed. 1 he Roxbury elite will soon be
able to procure fine fresh cut flowers.

contestants not to exceed five years of age. Where
"Hammerthrower" is strongest though is at Smith
College of any .Sunday afternoon, or breaking dishes
in Mi.ss Diether'sestablishment. "Billie" is quite a cow
man. We expect some day to see him in the judge's

Mary is our lady of affairs. She works for everythif'
worth while working for, but she is never too busy
be sociable. She has a ready smile and a pleasa
word for every one. As acting president of the cla
she rendered valuable service in binding the class t
gether on our return this past year. She has playi
an important part in the formulation and executic
of our Commencement plans, and is a member of tl
cast for the Show. A leader socially and in the bu:
ness transactions of the class, she has been an efficient
worker for the welfare of the Two Year Course. We
are indeed proud of Mary Bruce.

"Dr.acut"
Lowell 8 Kellogg Avenue
1902; Pomology; A.T.G.; Executive Committee (2).
Here's the man with more excuses for going home
over week-ends than we've ever seen. It started with
"going to help dig potatoes, cut ensilage," etc. When
such as these gave out, Frank worked hard to try to
catch the mumps from Bill. At last he said he had the
mumps, went home, and came back in time for finals.
Wonder who she is? Frank was a good boy, but, by
some misfortune, he began to eat with the gang over
the hill. Instead of reforming them, they reformed him.
He has taken up cooking under Prof. Chenoweth this
term. Going to feed his cows on apple butter and cider.

The big noise of the class of 1921. " Burkie " made
himself heard the minute he hit town and has been
blowing his horn ever since. Prof. Hart can testify
quite satisfactorily as to the strength of Burke's vocal
cords and his conversational ability. Prof, even
rnaintains that Burke would make a good lawj'er, pro-
vided he had arguments which were in as good condition
as his voice. A hard worker for all that and one who
has accomplished much during; his sojourn here. We
surely hope, however, that his voice will never fail
him. "Boikie" wouldn't be able to talk fast enough
with his hands.

1895; Pomology; K. K.; Football (1, 2); Captain
Basketball (1, 2); Student Council (1, 2); Class
Prophet (2).
"Bunnie" is one of our best athletes, starring in
football, basketball, and as a waiter in the "Hash-
house." We don't know why they call him the waiter,
for it's the fellows who sit at the table. "Bunnie" is
none other than that foghorn you hear on Sunday when
you are near the Unity Church. As a member of the
Student Council he worked well for the Two Year
Course. He is our only representative from New
York and he doesn't live on "Toity-toid Street" either.
"Bunnie" will make good wherever he goes, even if
he does go into the movies.
"Cupid"
Essex 70 Lincoln Avenue
1901; Vegetable Gardening; W. T- E.
"Cupid" is our baby boy and we are very choice of
him. He came to us in short pants and stayed by
that fashion throughout his Junior year. Imagine our
surprise when on returning this year we found him in
long trousers and nearly a foot taller! "Cupe" enjoys
himself most if he can find some one to tease, and de-
lights in making himself a nuisance. He is a smart
kid, however, and when he grows up will make quite a
man. He claims he is grown up now, but actions
speak louder than words. However, we e.xpect to soon
be able to park the baby carriage.
I^otoarb ileabcr Cabp
"Fat"

The nickname is certainly appropriate. Cady is our
prize fat boy. But weight is not the only place where
"Fat" leads, he is a champion bluffer. If he could get
away with it he would be wonderful, but, alas! he
doesn't. Howard bought a motorcycle, thinking that
a sure way to reduce. At last reports he had reduced
the motorcycle to junk, but he had actually increased.
His favorite sports are fishing and cheering. He's a
royal rooter for the team. As for fishing, it's the an-
cient story about the big one that got away.

"Campie" is Bill Hart's running mate; you^never
see one without the other. She also has another pal,
a big police dog with whom we should dislike to get
into an argument. Emily has some code arranged
with the dog, for often you may hear her say, "Moosh,"
and he does, so she will tell you. She just dotes on
fussing with machinery, particularly anything very
greasy. As a student of animal husbandry she can
hold her own with any of the best of them.

Here is another of those hard-working, cheerful co-
eds. "Peggy" has acquitted herself well in every
task that has been given her to do since she entered
M. A. C. As a member of the Student Council at the
"Abbey" she sees to it that the girls get in on time, and
she can't be bribed. " Pearl" has been very popular,
especially in the capacity of bookkeeper at the dining
hall. When she leaves M. A. C. she plans to go back
to Dorchester to show the school children how to have
a real garden.

If you want to find Ruth, you can usually do so by
going to French Hall. She spends most of her time
there in class room or greenhouse. When she gradu-
ates, she is going to start something along lloricultural
lines. Ruth says they've made flowers grow in win-
ter by artificial heat, and now she is going to devise a
way of making them grow without any work. She
comes from Hudson, a pretty little town, thriving in
spite of the fact that it is on the "Slow and Easy" line
to Boston. We hope the world will treat Ruth as
nicely as she treats us.

1892; Animal Husbandry.
"Chris" is one of those really bright young men.
He never was known to rank below 80 and puts up an
awful howl when he goes as low as that. "Chris" is
the personification of cheerfulness, except for two days
in the week, when he sometimes looks worried. It is
said that the absence of so small a thing as a pink enve-
lope, addressed in a feminine hand and postmarked
"Brockton," is the cause of his worried expression.
We are surprised, as a glimpse at the date above will
show that "Chris" is old enough to know better. .

Fitchburg North Amherst
1899; Animal Husbandry; A. T. G.
A versatile young man who can. do about anything
from shearing sheep and judging cattle to telling a
professor how to make a graft, or holding a group of
fellows spellbound with one of his famous stories.
Some one told us to ask "Chet" how he likes sleeping
in his clothes all night. If you don't tell us, Chet,
we'll ask "Doc" Thorne. What is it today, Clarkie,
Climax or Apple?
I^artman Bublep Colton
"Hart"
Springfield 116 Pleasant Street
1898; Floriculture; W. T. E.; Floriculture and Veg-
etable Gardening Club.
The most easily recognized man on the campus.
He seldom appears without his uniform, namely, a
knapsack slung over one shoulder, and a pair of gray
stockings. There used to be a red tie, too, but that's
gone now. What "Hart" doesn't know about floricul-
ture isn't worth knowing, at least that's what he says.
It is said that Mr. Whiting doesn't agree with him.
Colton hails from Springfield, and actually seems will-
ing for people to know it. Our hero is having a hard
time trying to decide whether to go into floriculture,
or go on to the stage with the rest of the great artists.

1896; Animal Husbandry; W. T. E.; Animal Hus-

The human question box. Crowell can ask more
questions in one class hour than any other man wc
know. This thirst for knowledge is amazing, and we
marvel at it. Homer missed his calling; he should
have been a newspaper reporter or an artist; he's good
at filling a notebooli with sketches instead of lectures.
He has a reputation as an actor, both in school and in
the great halls of the town. "Davy" steps right off
in Amherst society circles.

1891; Animal Husbandry; Baseball Manager (1, 2).
Walter Daisy is a quiet, cheerful chap, often seen
scorching the road between his happy home on Amity
Street, and his one o'clock class in the arena, on a one-
lung, non-skid bicycle. It's an old one, so Walter
doesn't mind sitting down and laughing at Louie's
attempts to ride. For two years "We" has managed
the Two Year baseball team. He has provided us
with a very good schedule of games this year. A suc-
cessful season on the present schedule will assure Two
Year athletics a good foundation, and Daisy can feel
justly proud of his part in it.

Some one mentioned the fact to "Dill" one day that
when he grew up he would make quite a sizable man.
Dill says, though, that he's only medium size when
he gets up in Raynham. Another one of our class room
wizards who are the joy of all professors. There is
nothirig "Dill" does not do well, even to getting up on
time in the morning. He has become famous as an
Experiment Station worker, and we are sure the herd
at the Hatch barns will mourn for him when he departs.

"Steve" is the original nickel chaser. He could
squeeze class dues out of the college herd. Since he
first came to us in September of 1919 "Steve" has been
repeatedly and unanimously chosen to handle all our
money with the added privilege of first collecting it.
When he leaves M. A. C. in June he is going to start
a bank in the form of a fine herd of pure bred cows.
We feel sure that "Steve" will be as popular wherever
he goes as he has been here.

professors and fellow students have been receiving a
liberal education since "Du" came to Aggie, particularly
along the lines of poultry husbandry, He is a good,

"Charlie" is our popular future hotel man. His win-
ning smile and ever ready alibi have more than once
made up for the cold potatoes which he has placed be-
fore us "many a time and oft." Like all men of his
profession, "Charlie" is a neat dresser and has been at
times afflicted with the l;ow-tie craze. \\e don't see
E\inny so very often now. He's practicing his Ivory
oration preparatory to the great day when all^ the
"Folks" come on to see us Commence. "Charlie" has
been active in class afl'airs and as a member of the
Student Council he has had ample opportunity to make
use of his abilities.

"Rog"
Somerville 75 Pleasant Street

Right from the very start this man proceeded to as-
sume the responsibility of bringing order out of chaos.
In other words "Rog" was elected to the Student Coun-
cil, and as president of this newly organized body he
did much to start the class of 1921 on its way to a ver\-
successful course at M. A. C. Somehow we never
could picture "Rog" in other than his usual spick and
span attire. However, present circumstances tend to
disillusion us as "Rog" is now engaged in conducting
the farm upon which Gilbertville depends for its sub-
sistence.

"Buzz" she is and "Buzz" she will remain as long as
she is with us. No one knows who gave her the appel-
lation, but it finds justification in the constant stream
of soft broad accents that ever bubbles from her. XA'c
are sorry she couldn't have come all the way through
our two years with us, but are any way glad she dropped
in on us our senior year. She is a jolly "scout," and
full of pep despite the fact that she originally hailed
from the sunny, lazy South. Her flights in the realms
of flowers and food, both of which come under her
major of horticulture, bid fair to make her an accom-
plished housewife, "an excellent thing in woman."

The unobtrusive manner and quiet reserve of this
classmate of ours have prevented us from becoming
as well acquainted with him as we should desire. He
is seldom seen at large except on his way to classes.
"Dan" assists Doc Lentz in keeping his classes awale
by snoring so loudly that no one else can get a chance
to sleep, one of the disadvantages of a quiet nature, we

Football (1, 2); Basketball (1, 2); Track (2); Base-
ball (2).
A bunch of muscle, strung on a live wire, is a good
description of "Jerry." "Jerry" never had seen a foot-
ball or a basketball when he landed in Amherst, so natu-
rally they attracted him. And what a player he has
made! Besides his natural ability "Jerry" possesses that
characteristic so essential in a good athlete, namely,
good nature. In the class room and on the campus
"Jerry" has never been found wanting. Always with a
ready answer and ever willing to help out, he has made
himself one of the most popular men in the class. A
real man. Good luck to him!

"Louie" believes in being frank. He would sooner
speak his mind and have it over with than to try to
smooth a matter over. As a member of the baseball
team, both junior and senior years, "Louie" has cer-
tainly done his bit for the class of 1921. A remarkable
voice has he; reminds one — well, it's about halfway
between a croak and a chuckle, and we give him the
benefit of the doubt as being nearer a chuckle, for that
is more in keeping with his nature. He is always
happy, even during finals.

"Artie"
Westford IS Hallock Street
1899; Pomology; A. T. G.; Baseball (2).
"Artie" made his entrance upon this campus very
quietly and has moved about it quietly ever since.
However, he "gets there" just the same. When he
speaks he says something, a valuable attribute. "Ar-
tie" is working hard on the baseball team and has de-
veloped into one of the team's mainstays in the bo.v.
He is noted for knowing his own mind and is not afraid
to give e.xpression to his convictions. "Grif" is bound
to be successful, as he makes a practice of always doing
his best.

Milton The Davenport
■ ; Animal Husbandry.
Why this versatile young lady took up Agriculture
we do not know. It is our opinion that she would
have made an excellent movie actress. She used to
drive a "Flivver," but of late the chariot has disap-
peared, reason unknown. We suspect, however, that
she tried some well-known movie stunt to which the
long-suffering descendant of Henry I. would not sub-
mit. As a hiker she has no peer, it being said that
she was, in former years, a commuter from Milton
and found that she could walk into town considerably
faster than the elevated could convey her.

One of our quiet, earnest class-room wizards. Grant
is always on the exemption list. He is quite a cattle
man, too. "Ham" is right there when it comes to
show-ring judgments. Also, he's a Guernsey man. He
has no use for a cow that gives chalk and water, even
if she does give a pailful of it. Down in Rowe Grant
says everything is quiet in spite of the name, as they
never raise one. On the stage "G. E." has displayed
considerable hitherto latent ability.

Vineyard Haven 75 Pleasant Street

(2).
Our handsome boy. "Hank" is always dressed up,
his shoes are always shined, his hair is always combed.
We sometimes wonder if "Hank" will crease his over-
alls and polish his rubber boots when he gets down on
the farm. He spent his boyhood raising clams down
on Martha's Vineyard; they say the soil's just right for
them down there. "Rus's" chief specialty is getting
his sleep in class and then staying up all night trying
to master what he might have got in class if he only
would stay awake. He has rendered good service to
the class as a member of the football, basketball, and
baseball squads and has been very active in all social
affairs.

"Bill"
Boston 16 Amity Street
1897; Gas Engines.
Quite a superior looking youth is tliis young man.
He wears an air of self-satisfaction, which is always
accompanied by a faultlessly neat appearance. "Bill"
is an expert at raising crops and hopes to raise very
large crops of corn and alfalfa when he gets on to the
farm. What! Did some one say that you can't
raise alfalfa in Massachusetts? Well, we'll say you
can; just take a look at "Bill's" upper lip. If "Bill"
e\'er takes to raising crops he'll soak the seed in gaso-
line and irrigate with ether to help it along.

Buckland 20 Lessey Street
1902; Animal Husbandry; W. T. E.
This red-headed youth, who comes from back in the
woods, somewhere in Massachusetts, is extremely
modest. He never speaks unless he is spoken to, cer-
tainly a most commendable virtue. Otherwise, "Bob"
is perfectly normal ; he seldom places the classes of live
stock right in Animal Judging, and agrees with the rest
of the bunch that the last should be first and the first
should be last. He is an expert at packing spray pumps
so that they won't work and all in all is sure of a place
in the sun along with the rest of his faultless classmates.
"Bob" is thought to be rather easy going, but it is be-
cause he doesn't make a great fuss when he accom-
plishes a piece of work.

This lad was runner-up for first honors in the elec-
tion for Class Grind. Seldom seen on the streets ex-
cept on the way to or from classes, we are not surprised
that Wilder is such a shark in the class room. Some-
times "we guys," who never crack a book, almost envy
him. Home is near for Wilder until the mud season
comes, and he misses a car. He can tell you the exact
depth of the mud on the River road and the exact re-
sistance per step it ofifers to a jioor hiker.

"Pat"
Natick 35 North Prospect Street

"Pat" must have been issued a pass on the North-
ampton Road along with his training check, and evi-
dently feels obliged to work it to the limit. When he
isn't in class, and sometimes when he's supposed to be
there, he is "absent, but accounted for," on the front
line at Smith. "Pat" enjoys raising flowers, at least
enough to supply his personal needs. At present Mr.
Hayden is gardening near Boston, where we are sure
his quiet, pleasant nature will stand him in good stead.

A rather wild but wholly earnest youth landed at
M. A. C. in September, 1919. By hard work on the
part of Mr. Holden, "Heinie" acquired a conception
of what a good animal really looks like, so that when
in March he returned to the farm, Molly, the brindled
cow, and Dan and Jim, the team, worked themselves
to shadows trying to meet the new standard. At any
time now 'Ban" will show you pictures of his county
fair blue winners. It is rumored that "Hylife" will
graduate despite the time he gives to his pin-boy duties
and seeing the country from a bicycle.
"Poiley"
Weathersfield, Vt. Stockbridge Hall
1900; Animal Husbandry; Animal Husbandry Club;
Commencement Show (2); A. T. G.
We'll bet old Punkinville steps around and opens its
sleepy eyes some when "Old Man Hoyt's Son" arrives
for a spell. No wonder Henry is getting lazy with
this young whirlwind to do all his work for him. Per-
ley does make a fine janitor; he has missed his calling.
"Poiley" is a good student, a hard worker for the class,
ever ready to do anything he can, and seems always to
retain his pleasant nature, cheery smile, and request
for a cigarette.

"Bob" is like New England weather. Today he is
full of pep and good nature; tomorrow he may be
"down in the dumps." He is a hard worker, when he
works, a good student, and a heavj' sleeper. An elec-
trician before coming to Aggie, "Bob" evidently in-
tends to soon electrify the agricultural world with
some remarkable, noteworthy discovery. According
to reports, "Bob" is quite a consistent letter writer.

Why he is called "Red" is not clearly apparent.
Maybe he was out in the rain without a hat on. John
is a pleasant young man who is met at North Station
every time he arrives by a pleasant young His
sister? Well, somebody's, maybe. He is a shark in
the dairy department, with a great thirst for knowl-
edge. He certainly has more opportunity to quench
that thirst in the dairy department than he would
have in any other, the agronomy department, for in-
stance.

Williamstown
1899; Animal Husbandry.
When this young harum-scarum was first dropped
off at Williamstown, the natives stopped and stared in
amazement. As the story goes they continue to stare
whenever "Oak" appears upon the scene, for they
never know when and what to e.\pect next. To be the
proud owner of a herd of prize-winning (Uiernseys is
his fondest ambition, and whenever one speaks of those
noted bossies from the Channel Islands, "Oak's" ears
can always be seen to ]iv\ck up. A man of strong mind
and not afraid to voice his sentiments.

When it comes to wrestling, boxing, or'trading sec-
ond-hand automobiles, this clever young man is a star
of the first magnitude. His eye for business is ever
alert and it takes a good man to trim him in a bargain.
Many are they who have gone away chuckling, feeling
overjoyed at putting one over on "Pete," only to come,
in tli'e due course of time, to the realization that the
chuckle had come a bit too soon. Raynham is going
to see some good stock when "Pete" returns to his
estate and rolls up his sleeves for modern farming.

A strong love for farm animals and a desire to know
more about them brought "Mat" to M. A. C. .'\nimal
Husbandry is his hobby and during his stay here he
has pursued it zealously. Though he occasionally be-
comes reckless enough to take in a dance, he never
loses sight of the Shropshires or Holsteins. "Mat,"
by the way, lugged off first prize in the recent student
sheep judging contest. Quiet and reserved, "Mat"
is a man worth knowing, when you get through the
veneer and have a good chat with him.

During "Kim's" first winter at Aggie "Old Man
Flu" was hot on his trail, but he eluded the crafty gen-
tleman and has been going strong ever since, all the
way from winning prizes in apple packing contests to
having a perfect attendance at Adams Hall. A modest
young man is "Kim," but when it comes to entertain-
ing co-eds, he's a wizard. When "Kim" settles down
the fortunate community will be able to observe a
fine example of a hard working, prosperous fruit and
stock farmer.

Not satisfied with just attending church regularly,
Henry had to move right down an.ongst them, so he
could go more often. The "General's" future plans
are unknown to us, — and to him.' He will never make
a live stock breeder, for it's impossible to get him to
accept the theory of evolution. Any one who believes
in that comes prettj' close to being an atheist, in Henry's
opinion. There is one crop that Henry will always be
able to raise, with a high crop index, too. That is a
crop of questions. He may tale to raising Herefords
for their fine hams.

"Helen"
Rhodesia, South Africa Main Street
1900; Animal Husbandry; W. T. E.; Football.
South Africa held no bewitching fascination for
"Helen," so he hied himself to Massachusetts and
enrolled at M. A. C. When the call for football can-
didates was issued, "Helen" was one of the first to
report. For two seasons he helped to checlc the driv-
ing, smashing onslaughts of the first team's backs.
"Helen" is really quite clever when it comes to playing
with a hammer and saw, while the purr of a gasoline
motor is music to his ears. "Helen" may never be a
success as a missionary, but there is some chance for
him on the tennis court. Harold is another of our
quiet, good natured pals.

" — And it don't feel very darn good now, either."
This is an echo of "Red's" story of how he got hurt
this time. Always falling ofi his bike, or getting hit
by somebody's else vehicle. "Red" wasn't satisfied
with a bicycle. He has just secured a motorcycle.
Not having received his license yet, he practices riding
it around on rainy days when the police department
is at home. The force has lost one of his rubbers
and can't find a mate among the old ones. "Red"
is a good student when he tries, a jolly enough com-
panion, with the usual red-headed temperament of the
iiiiman minimal.

Benjamin is a lightweight chap, with a heavyweight
niind. If you ever want any information on any sub-
ject whatever, ask him. He can tell you something,
at any rate. "Ben" spends most of his time in the
poultry plant or a branch thereof. He is quite a hand
with the chiclens. He has been known to make a
trip even as far as over the mountain for research work.
"Ben" is a hard worker for the class, and will put

If every one in the class had as much college spirit
and will to work for the good of the cause as Carl Libby
has w^e'd go over the top in every undertaking we at-
tempted. Carl is a conscientious, level-headed worker,
who has been very instrumental in helping our class
set the standard for Two Year classes. He seems to
take life pretty seriously, but he steps oiT once in a
while, a short while, and makes a trip over the moun-
tain or elsewhere.

This quiet, unassuming gentleman is often an enigma
to us. He seldom expresses his thoughts or opinions
to a classmate, but it does not bother him to make a
whole oration down at the Methodist Church of a
Sunday, along with the "General." "Link" is en-
tirely in favor of pure bred poultry and will never
raise any but pedigreed stock. He knows every hen
at the poultry plant by name and can tell you the
number of eggs per day each lays.

Mr. George W. Lord of Framingham, where they
make teachers and crepe paper. This neatly dressed,
important young man is a poultry fancier. He has
conducted a number of fatal experiments at the plant
this past year, and feels that he has been highly suc-
cessful, having discovered a quicker method of killing.
George is a hard worker in school, and a fine student.
For all that he is always willing to do anything he can
to help a fellow out.

His nickname describes him, — a very small person
with a small top-piece just absolutely full of knowledge
and still being crammed. Like nearly all the men
whose names begin with "L," Frank is a poultry man.
He makes an ideal man because there is no place large
enough for a hen to go through that will not accommo-
date Lounsbury. He spends most of his time on the
piazza at the Colonial. Evidently absorbs all his
knowledge in class.

It requires as much red tape to get an interview with
"Mac" as it does to see "Prexy." He's never at 108
unless you arrive before breakfast or after 10:30 P. M.
We don't know when he sleeps, for he accomplishes an
enormous amount of work. "Mac" has done a great
deal for 1921. A dark horse our first year, he was un-
discovered until this year, when his talents came to
light. His greatest service has been the making of
this 'book a success. A good student, popular with
every one, co-eds included, we are sure "Mac" will be
a success in life.

"Mike" believes in the survival of the fittest. The
thing he does best and most rapidly is at Table 15,
Draper Dining Hall. This lad is a chronic kicker
supposedly, but when you become acquainted with
him there is easily found a deal of good nature. As a
judge of show-ring cattle, some one has said "Mike"
will make a good blacksmith. He says he places the
last cow first so that her feelings won't be hurt.

This strawberry blonde came all the way from
"Cinci" to try to pull the wool over our eyes. He
did, but the wool is transparent, and we can see his
game. Judging from his major, "Red" is going back
West and do some horseless farming. "Mac" always
has. a good word for the other fellow. If he didn't
acquire anything else here, "Red" acquired his life
partner at "Aggie."

Undoubtedly the only reason we did not nickname
this young gentleman "Rube" is because we did not
know his middle name. "Banty" is just what the
names implies, small and full of pep. He is about the
best farmer in the class and has spent much of his
spare time during the past two years trying to teach
the farmers of North Amherst how it ought to be done.
He possesses vocal cords which are a great asset and
has helped to keep the musical program at the Unity
Church on its present high plane of excellence.

"Buck" is a poultry man, first, last, and always.
He has spent many a laborious hour trying to figure
out how to hatch chicks from roosters' eggs. "Buck"
parts his hair in the middle and is always dressed up,
even when he's spraying in the orchards. When you
ask him for an opinion on any subject you get a
straight statement, usually somewhere near right. He
is a source of joy to the professors, for whenever they
get stuck they can always depend on "Buck" for the
correct answer.

"Mull" blew into Amherst last September and in-

industry of which is manufacturing sidewalks. There
is such a demand for them that none have been re-
served for Fayville itself. "Mull" is majoring in
"Showdown" and "Stud" with considerable success.
He conies to class occasionally. He is always ready

"Rod" is one of those likable young chaps that you

decided early in his college career that Amherst was
not good enough for him, so he moved up to North
Amherst with the rest of the highbrows. As cheer

he gets a letter from the office once in a while about it,
but he guesses they don't care much or they would
write to him oftener. In dairy lab. "Whoops" does

she came to us from Lawrence two years ago and her
popularity has increased as we have come to know her
better. She is always ready to help by action as well

self-possessed under all circumstances. Her opinions

able to give valuable advice to one of us young up-

The most silent man in our midst. When "Don"

"still waters run deep." That old adage applies to
"Don." He is a conscientious worker, doing every-

"Russ" missed his calling. Instead of raising fruit
he should be a circus clown or a lawyer. He would be
successful in either of those positions. His favorite
stunt is getting excused from Prof. Harris's classes.
Involuntary excuses. "P. B." has done well as man-

ago since he began that he has forgotten what he's
howling for, so now it's just habit. He earned his
title of "Skipper" swabbing decks for Uncle Sam. We
wonder they didn't use his hair for a brush. Howard
plans to spend his life rising in the wee small, hours to
milk and feed the cows. They will probablybe Black

This young man's bountiful supply of alibis, every

but wish we could have known him better as he gives
evidence of being a cheerful and entertaining compan-
ion. He is an enthusiastic dancer. Aside from this,

A "P^^'^ '^^? ^ Hne— a long one— but it's a corker.
And he has the goods to back it up, if he is interested
enough to deliver the goods. He was elected first vice-
president and did a good share of the work in organiz-
ing the class. His work in basketball is known to
and applauded by all who watched him. His pep won
him the place of cheer leader. Life's a game of give
and take with "Dud." He takes what comes with
nonchalance and watches the world play with an air
of easy indifference. We can't help liking him though
He always has the same cheerful, serene smile for every-

"Pewee"
Sutton 8 Kellogg Avenue
1898; Animal Husbandry; W. T. E.; Class Presi-
dent (1); Baseball (2).
Walter was chosen first president of his class and in
this capacity- ser\-ed us well, in the matter of organiza-
tion. He has since retained his interest in class affairs,
and has been an enthusiastic supporter of all projects
adopted by the class. If his work in his studies is of
the same caliber as for his class Walter will have found
much profit in his two years with us. He may be
small, as his nickname "Pewee" indicates, but his ideas
are right and his start is good.
••Ray"
East Hartford, Ct. East Experiment Station
1894; Pomology; K. K.; Student Council (2);
Class Historian (2).
••Ray" belongs to our more serious group of students.
Vet he is never too busy, nor too engrossed in his
thoughts to always pass a pleasant word of greeting
and a friendly smile. His standing among his fellow
classmates may be easily seen from the fact that he is
a member of Student Council and as such has done
much for us through serious thought and good judg-
ment. His popularity brought upon him the election
of historian and we could wish for no better repre-
sentative.

•'Sid"
Worcester 81 Pleasant Street
1898; Animal Husbandry; K. K.; Dramatic Club.
"Sid" is an easy-going sort of person, with a some-
times slightly worried look about his eyes; but he's
certainly shown pep as stage manager of our Com-
mencement Show. He has been a loyal supporter of
class affairs and does not hesitate to give his opinion
upon occasion. From all appearances dancing is his
favorite pastime, although all class activities receive
a share of his attention.

"Bill"
Lincoln
34 Pleasant Street
1898; Pomology; K. K.; Football (1, 2); Student
Council (1, 2).
"Bill" is a big fellow — oh, somewhere around 200
pounds. No wonder he can play football. However,
it is not only physically that he is large, but his good
sense and broadmindedness have placed him on Student
Council. He is a hard worker, mentally and physic-
ally. When there is work to be done "Bill" "sails in"
without making further conversation. He has made
quite a reputation packing fruit in class. We have no
doubt that he will continue making an enviable record
for himself when he goes out.

"Kid"
61 Amity Street
Brimfield
1900; General Agriculture.
Back in the woods somewhere between here and the
Atlantic Ocean lies a little burg called Brimfield.
From out of this wilderness in the fall of 1919 there
appeared a youth in overalls and a last year's straw
hat. "Kid" was a typical farmer when he arrived here,
but has improved to some extent since. He was a
couple of days late getting here and he has been late
ever since. If the office counted all his half cuts he'd
still have another year to go before he finished college.
"Kid" likes to farm and the harder the job the better
he likes it.
€arlc Mtl^on Spring
20 Lessey Street
Millers Falls
1901; Animal Husbandry.
A man of few words and these few seldom spoken,
we know but little of Earle Spring though he has been
with us since we started in 1919. One habit of his we
have learned well. It's so hard for him to get to class
on time, but he does arrive eventually and keeps
awake a good part of the time. May he have a life of
peace and quiet.

1899; Vegetable Gardening; K. K.; Football (1, 2);
Basketball (1, 2); Baseball (2); Student Council (1, 2);
Vice-President (2); Business Manager Shorthorn (2).
After observing the string of activities after "Gor-
die's" name you probably wonder when he finds time
to attend college. So do we. If every one liked to be
as busy as "Gordie" they would have to invent a lot
more activities in order to keep every one happy.
There is no need to comment on the work he has done
for the class, it speaks for itself, and we are grateful to
him for it.
Oritur IRapmonb tKaplor
"Art"
Framingham Fairview Way
1898; Animal Husbandry; K. K.; Commencement
Committee; Shorthorn Staff (2).
"Art" is a cheerful sort of person if everything is
going smoothly, but how he does fret at a hitch! He
has some pretty good ideas about remodeling the uni-
verse and has made various attempts at a start. All he
needs is time. However, he has done good work for
the class and his management of the class play is com-
mendable, and we are hoping his efforts have not seri-
ously affected his nerves.
Ilcnrp llolton ^fjorn
"Doc"
Deerfield 70 Lincoln Avenue
1900; Pomology; Dairy; Animal Husbandry; K. K.
Coming from as famous a little town as Deerfield,
it's not surprising that there should be something dis-
tinguished about "Doc." He packs more muscle in
that little frame of his than seems possible, and when
he sticks out his chest, well, you just can't help admir-
ing him. Apparently some one else must have admired
him somewhat, too, because "Doc" got married over
a year ago and is the proud possessor of our first class
baby. He is a living proof of the statement that good
things often come done up in little packages.

Swampscott 70 Lincoln Avenue
1897; General Agriculture; A. T. G.; Football (1);
Student Council (1, 2); Executive Committee (2);
Sergeant-at-Arms (2); Shorthorn Staff (2); Baseball
(2).
Let us introduce to you the man with the biggest
heart and the kindest nature in the class. What "Traf"
won't do for any one certainly is not worth doing. He
never kicks, but just puts his shoulder to the wheel and
pushes, no matter how disagreeable the task. "Traf"
introduced "Cozy Corner" candies on to the campus
last fall and has been depriving us of our spare change
ever since. He says if he didn't like candy so well
himself he'd make a fortune, but so far he has eaten
lip all the profits. His record in baseball is a wonder
and all the class looks to Walter for grand home runs
when he gets started on his job.
i^esifjan Vartanian
9 Fearing Street
"Vart"
Indian Orchard
1896; Animal Husbandry.
One of the learned men of the class. "Vart" knows
more about national and international affairs than
most any other ten men. His good nature has made
him very popular, and one always feels safe in starting
an argument with him because he doesn't know how
to get mad. "Justice" says we ought to take what the
profs, say with a grain of salt, because they are only
average men after all. That's good philosophy out-
side the class room, but we find it doesn't work in exam-
inations.
^t\m Ctara "^Tcgctafe
"Lenka"
Westfield Abigail Adams Hall
; Pomology; A. S. D.
Helen came to us through'^the influence of a Boys'
and Girls' Canning Club and;we're glad she happened
this way. Always quiet and possessed of a reserved
manner she remained in her shell for some time, but a
masquerade revealed rather than disguised her and
she has since been increasingly popular among her class-
mates. Her latent fun and quiet good humor have
made her a favorite, but her hypersusceptibility to
teasing often makes her a victim to circumstance and
"others." Her conscientiousness is sometimes her un-
doing, but she is dependable and depended upon "many
a time and oft."

"Nellie"
The Lanthorne
Wollaston
1898; Pomology; K. K.
The only time this gentleman has awakened since
he arrived in Amherst was when he figured in the col-
lision of the co-ed and bicycle. His best sleeps are in
vegetable gardening laboratory when the class is busy.
However, he is a quiet sleeper. Once a prof, said, "If
you must sleep, do so quietly, like Warner." It has
always been a problem to us how Harry gets to the
hash-house on time to wipe dishes. "Nellie" will
never make a farmer until farming is done by wireless,
the operator pushing a button from the veranda for
each piece of work.
I^arrp Hestter (Slaterman
"H.\rry"
South Thomaston, Me. 70 Lincoln Avenue
1896; Poultry; Glee Club (2); Student Council (1).
"The man worth while is the man who can smile,
when everything else goes wrong." .Harry is the origi-
nal optimist. Always happy, a good word for every
one, ever ready to do anything for the class, we have
a good friend and fellow-worker in him. Harry is at
the long end of the alphabet in name only. In the Glee
Club he feels at home, but outside it is very difficult
to get him to display his prowess as a warbler.

"Doc"
Providence, R. I. 17 Kellogg Avenue
1900; Pomology; Pomology Club; Commencement
Show.
That desperate-looking character with the wide
sombrero, fancy vest, studded belt, and pistol watch
fob who moves about in our midst is not a Western
bandit or desperado. That is "A!" Watson. When
he first arrived we didn't know whether to smile or
run. Now we laugh. "Doc" proves to us that looks
are deceiving. He is a good-natured, big-hearted pal,
a favorite with every one. June sixth will be a red-
letter day for Rhode Island fruit growers, for on that
day "Al" completes his pomology course at Aggie.
We hope the trees are headed low so "Al" can pick
from the ground.

"Wh[t"
Littleton 34 Pleasant Street
1901; Pomology; K. K.
This handsome lad uses his good appearance to ad-
vantage, judging bj' the amount of correspondence he
carries on. If he had his chariot up here all the year
'round there wouldn't be much class work done by
"Lonnie." He is another of our classmates with a
nature as unruffled as a mud puddle. We never saw
him out of sorts with the world. On that account
alone he should get along; but he is also energetic, con-
scientious, and willing. Harold is going to follow in
his father's footsteps, and turn to that famous apple'
countrv for his success.

"Ted"
Arlington Heights 3 Eames'Avenue
1896; Pomology; K. K.; Student Council (2).
Pep! Pep! Pep! That's "Ted" all over. So full of
life that he spills it all over every one who crosses his
path until the first thing they know they are reacting
the same way. "Ted" can get into more mischief and
enjoy himself at other people's expense than a six-year-
old youngster. We lost "Ted's" company recently.
He went to California, via Illinois, to try his hand at
citrus fruits. We expect some day soon to receive a
lemon from him. We are sorry to lose him, but know
that his good-hearted, happy-go-lucky, yet consci-
entious self will be a success.

Abigail Adams Hall
Bristol, Ct.
; Horticulture; A. S. D.
Alice has started a craze for fortune telling. She
has made a reputation here and could make a profit-
able living if she cared to capitalize her cleverness.
Her talent, however, is not confined to this one line.
Her work with photographs and paintings has won
her much renown at Aggie. She is a conscientious
worker and an interested one, in her studies and in her
other activities. She participates in all sports possible
and has a love for woods which leads her on many a
long hike. Her good sense and business ability lead
us to believe she will meet with success in whatever
work she chooses.

"Whitie"
Barnard, Vt. 66 Pleasant Street
; Poultry; Pomology.
\\'e didn't discover this young man until long after
he had been amongst us, on account of his quiet, un-
assuming, almost seclusive nature. Now we feel we
have missed a friendship worth having. With the
"General" and "Link," Ralph completes the founda-
tion of a downtown church. He is interested in fruit
growing and says they can go ahead and butcher all
the cows now. What he likes about it is that you can
start to pick apples at ten as well as at four in the
morning.

"Wig"
uggm
Norwood S3 Pleasant Street
1900; Pomology; K. K.; Football (1, 2).
Thoroughly harmless to look at, perfectly gentle to
talk to, yet a cyclone on the gridiron. "Wig" for
two years has been one of our mainstays in the back-
field. Not only in athletics does he excel. A perfect
attendance at two other colleges is his. The way we
look at it he must have some constitution, for along
with all his accomplishments, for two whole years he
has not only eaten but worked at the "hash-house."
"Wig" has been a loyal supporter of class and college.
To get along most rapidly in his chosen line he must
change in only one respect. He can ask a surprising
number of foolish questions.
^tctoart l^emingtoap Millsion
'Steve"
75 Pleasant Street
Thompsonville, Ct.
1900; Pomology; K. K.
A roly-poly boy, with the most beautiful smile you
ever set eyes on, "Steve" came to college to get a
rest, — night life in Thompsonville was getting too
strenuous. Judging from the way "Steve" carries on
up here, we'll keep away from his town. He quit us
cold to take over the operation of a placenear home
as s.oon as he figured he had had sufficient rest.
"Steve" ought to get along well in this world if he keeps
on the way he has started.

ilattfjeto airnolb aioob
"Matt"
South Portland, Me. 73 Pleasant Street
1897; General Agriculture; K. K.; Football (1, 2).
Two laborious years letting "Pick" step all over him
on the football field has failed to change "Woodie"
from his steady-going, good-natured self. He passes on
his happy nature to others in stories that would make
a sphinx laugh. Sometimes we wonder how possibly
he can pass for a deacon on Sundays. "Matt" wants
a farm that can be hung out on the line to work, and
can be folded up and stored safely while he goes on a
vacation.

"Pep"
Millbury 8 Kellogg Avenue
1901; Poultry; A. T. G.; Baseball (2).
Usually quiet, obscure, this young man would hardly
be thought the ex-mayor of Millbury, and proficient
center gardener of the nine. "Pep" may not look the
part, but he has the goods. Not only in baseball does
he bat heavily; he has been a heavy hitter at Jerry's
and back of the town hall. Outside the regular season
he is one of Mr. Banta's bright, conscientious students.

When we arrived on this campus in September, nineteen hundred and
twenty, total strangers to everything and everybody here, we only began to see
our way when the Student Council took us in hand, guiding us in our actions,
presiding at our first meeting for organization, and furnishing the familiar skull
cap which turned out to be a very important factor in helping us to know each
other and get together to organize.
The officers we elected at the first meeting were: President, W.J. Harrington;
vice-president, M.S.Brown; secretary, MissE. Russell; treasurer, MissK. Powell.
Our constitution states that new officers be elected at the end of the first
term. The only change in the list was for secretary. Miss Davenport.
TheSocialCommittee,with D.M.White as chairman, became promptly active,
and made it possible for the class and its guests to enjoy some very good times.
During the fall term four of our members, guilty of infractions of rules,
were tried before the Student Council and sentenced. They were given punish-
ment on an old-fashioned ducking stool in the College Pond.
The Glee Club, under J. E. Worthley's direction, struggled hard to get a
good foundation for next year. No concerts were given, but prospects for the
future are encouraging.
A Dramatic Club became rapidly active under the direction of President
Harrington and with Professor Patterson as coach. A fine act was staged at the
Aggie Revue. An attempt to present "The Dictator" was unsuccessful before
the close of school, but this play will be given on our return to college next fall.
Our first year has been a busy one, just filled with new experiences. The
class has been confronted with many difficulties and has found its way out satis-
factorily in every case. We look forward to leaving a fine record behind us when
we graduate in 1922.
We should like to take this opportunity to express our heartfelt thanks for
the Kind Word and the Helping Hand extended to us by the Class of 1921 and
its members individually and collectively. May they who are going from us to
start out on the journey of life feel that they have faithful friends in the Two-
Year Class of 1922 at Massachusetts Agricultural College.

Cfje ^Jort Course ^tubent Council
On November 5, 1919, a temporary Short Course Student Council, appointed
by President Butterfield, held its first meeting. Through the efforts of this tem-
porary body a constitution was drawn up and a foundation laid on which the
first permanent Council elected some weeks later could build. The purpose of
the Council is to guard and foster the traditions and customs of this college
among all Short Course students, and to consider all matters relating to the
action and disciplining of Short Course students.
The membership in the Council is made up of six men from the Senior Two-
Year class, four men from the Freshman class, one man from the Vocational
Poultry Course, one man from the Rural Engineering Course, and one delegate-
at-large.
The work of the Council has been very varied, but in all matters which have
come before it, it has acted wisely and justly. Among the many duties which
the Council has it seems worth while to mention the following:
It conducts at frequent intervals joint mass meetings of both classes for the
consideration of any matters which are common to the interests of both classes.
Early in its career the Council interested itself in the development and in
the recognition of the Two-Year Athletic teams. A glance at the records of the
Two-Year teams for the current year shows the results of its endeavors along
this line.
The Council has been called upon to act in several cases regarding the action
and discipline of certain individuals and has always acted with the best of judg-
ment.
It is continually working in co-operation with the faculty for improvements
in the courses of study.
These are but a few of the many duties of the Council, which it always
meets with open mind and willing spirit. The Short Course Student Council
has lived up to the purpose for which it was formed and has proved itself to be a
valuable asset to the Course and to the college.

Social ^ctibitp
Clagsi of 1921
The Social Committee of the class has been active during the past year and
a half and several successful social functions have been held. Although the class
as a whole has not held many distinctly class functions, different clubs and social
groups have held many enjoyable events which have done much to develop the
social life of the course.
The first social event was a dance held in the Drill Hall and attended by
nearly every one in the class. Director and Mrs. Phelan were present to help
us enjoy a very pleasant evening. This affair served to make the students
acquainted with each other and thus helped lay the basis for the Spirit of the Class.
As our college is situated in the historic valley of the Connecticut River,
and the hills and towns abound in lore of Indian and early Colonial days, the
hope of an opportunity to visit these places became an actuality. On fair days
many groups of class members could be seen hiking over the countryside in
"stag parties," or the more fortunate in company with "co-eds," and with those
large packs familiar to all who like to tramp, — the ever popular hot dogs and
rolls. Many a pleasant day has been spent and many firm friendships formed
about a campfire in' the evening.
On Columbus Day twenty-four students tried their luck on the Holyoke
Range. Rain set in before the top was achieved, but it failed to dampen the
waterproof ardor of the hikers. It took quite a while to convince a constable of a
near-by town that they were only harmless students out for a lark, before he finally
believed. Some real cider at the old Hadley Mill on the way home helped keep up
spirits, and a memory of a great time is retained by those who made the trip.
The women students have from time to time seemed possessed with a keen
desire to cultivate the acquaintance of several of the most interesting places
near by, and have very kindly invited different members of the class as guests
on some of their very pleasant "bacon bats" and "wieney roasts." In spite of
many handicaps they still remain loyal boosters of the sport and are ever ready
to participate in a real hike. Our co-eds are indeed good sports.
The year ending in March, just as we were beginning to know each other
well, prevented our having any more jolly times until September. However,
all felt that when college opened again they would proceed to make more of the
pleasant social side of college life than they had this first year.
A reception to the entering Freshmen of the Two-Year Course was held in
the Drill Hall shortly after our second year of college began. Practically every
one from both classes was present. The early evening was devoted to forming
acquaintances with the new men and women, and helping them to feel at home.
Dancing followed. Director and Mrs. Phelan, Professor and Mrs. Strahan,
and Mr. and Mrs. Viets were our patrons and patronesses. The hall was prettily
decorated with autumn colors, with pumpkins, cornstalks, leaves, and even the
old-time cider barrel where Steve Dole and Gordon Steele served refreshments.
When the guests had departed, Steve and Gordon asked Russell to help carry the re-
85
maining refreshments home. They were very nearly successful. This very success-
ful and pleasant function paved the way for other pleasant interclass affairs.
After a long wait for the busy Drill Hall, the Social Committee gave us a
dance of unusual brilliancy. The hall was decorated in our class colors, yellow
and blue, in a very artistic arrangement. The Freshman class was again our
guest. We were fortunate in securing the presence of Mr. and Mrs. Viets, Miss
Skinner, and Mrs. Bacharach as chaperons. Very fine music, a pleasing collation
of ice cream and cake, and a congenial gathering insured all a very happy evening.
We now look forward with a great deal of expectation to a very wonderful
Commencement Prom. This will be the first Two-Year Commencement Prom
held on this campus and we want it to be an unqualified success. A very capa-
ble and efificient committee in charge enjoins us to live in hopes, to look fprward
to "The Event" of our two happy years at Massachusetts Agricultural College.
Class of 1922
The first appearance of the Freshman class in social activities at M. A. C.
was in their attendance at the reception tendered them by the Class of 1921.
This affair was very valuable to us in forming helpful friendships among the men
who have been over the road we must travel. Practically every Freshman
attended this function and was rewarded with a very pleasant evening.
On Saturday, October thirty-first, the Freshmen held their first dance of
the year in the form of an informal Hallowe'en party in the Drill Hall. Guests
of the evening were Director and Mrs. Phelan, Mr. Tirrell, and Mr. Grayson.
The party was a great success. Prizes were awarded for the prettiest costumes,
many of which were very original and unique. Games were provided for those
who were not dancing. A good orchestra provided lively music for the dancers.
Appropriate Hallowe'en decorations lent a finishing touch to the whole affair.
At the Social Union rooms on December eighteenth the class held an infor-
mal party. Miss Skinner and Mrs. Bacharach were the guests of the evening.
In the hall, prettily decorated with evergreen, were held dancing and games,
interspersed with corn popping and toasting of marshmallows.
A Welcome party to the entering ten-weeks students was held Saturday,
January ninth, in Social Union rooms, with Miss Skinner and Mrs. Bacharach
as guests of the evening. Marshmallows were toasted before the open fire and
games and dancing helped all present to spend a very enjoyable evening.
The class bid farewell to the Senior class on Sai;urday, March nineteenth,
before leaving for the summer's work. The Farewell Party was in the form of
a masquerade at the Drill Hall. Prettily decorated with palms and crepe paper,
the hall presented a pleasing appearance. Guests of the evening were Director
and Mrs. Phelan, Professor and Mrs. Gunness, Mr. and Mrs. Banta, Professor
and Mrs. Denman, Mr. and Mrs. Viets, and Professor and Mrs. Patterson.
Judges awarded prizes after much meditation for the prettiest, most complete,
and original costumes. There were many fine costumes. A sleight-of-hand
entertainment was presented by Mr. W. S. Smith during intermission. Every
one enjoyed a very pleasant evening. Much favorable comment was heard
from the Seniors to whom our party was tendered.

^fje (§(ee Clulj
During the early part of the year, Director Phelan suggested that the
classes develop the social side of college life to a great extent, not to develop
only the intellectual mind, but to broaden out and get in touch with our fellow
students. The committee on music. Dill, Taylor, and Dole of the Seniors, and
Woodworth, Delano, and Worthley of the Freshmen, decided that organization
of a glee club would be of real benefit. Accordingly they set about getting men
interested, and selecting music, toward the cost of which the students contributed
generously.
Early in January a large group of men had become interested and appeared
at the practice sings. Rehearsals were held regularly every Wednesday in Room
114, Stockbridge Hall. No concerts were planned for this year on account of
the late start made, but it is hoped that next year at least one outside concert
will be given. A professional coach will be obtained in the future, and the work
will thus be made much more effective and interesting. Director Phelan and
Professor French have rendered valuable assistance and advice to the committee
in charge of the club. The members of the club have worked together faith-
fully to make it a success. Their effort has not been in vain. An early start
and a successful season is promised for next year.

dramatics!
Among the members of the Class of 1922 there are many with dramatic
talent who are vitally interested. At the November meeting the question was
brought up for definite class action. A committee comprised of Nicholas P. Har-
rison, Stanley F. Blish, and Elizabeth Russell was chosen to investigate the ques-
tion and organize a Dramatic Club.
With the "Aggie Revue" about a month distant, the committee secured
Professor Patterson as coach and selected a one-act play for presentation. The
play chosen was a humorous sketch in Irish dialect entitled "Marriages are Made
in Heaven — and Elsewhere." The cast settled down to serious work and soon
had the play in shape for presentation. On the night of presentation at the
"Revue" the members of the Two-Year Course had the satisfaction of seeing as
splendid a performance of their program as any one could ask for. The little
production was a credit to cast, coach, and course. Those who participated
were Stanley Blish, Katherine Powell, Elizabeth Russell, and Fred Margreve.
In January the problem of organizing a permanent Dramatic Club was
undertaken. Professor Patterson was secured as coach, and presided at the
first meeting which was held at Draper Hall. At this meeting the following
officers were elected: Nicholas P. Harrison, president; Stanley F. Blish, vice-
president; Miss Elizabeth Russell, secretary.
The Club became immediately active. A three-act play entitled "The
Dictator" was selected for presentation. Each rehearsal indicated progress,
the cast settlingdown at once to earnest endeavor. It was impossible to present
this production before placement work in March. The Club will resume its
activities and furnish a splendid entertainment to an appreciative audience upon
the return to college this fall.

Not the least important of the organizations within the Two-Year Course
are the' clubs, which are at present four in number. As the course has been
developed the clubs have been formed as a natural outgrowth of that develop-
ment.
These organizations should and do play an important part in the life of the
student body. It has been truly said that fifty per cent of a man's education
while in college consists in the friendships which he makes and the benefits
which he derives from those friendships. The club offers an opportunity of
close association and acquaintance not to be found in the casual meetings in the
class room and on the campus, and for this reason the club occupies a place of
high importance in the life of the college. It offers to the members a chance to
discuss freely and frankly their own individual problems. It enables every man
to meet every other man on an equal plane and to learn the true nature of the
individuals who are his fellow members. In short, it is in the club that a man
finds the true expression of what college really means and is.
The clubs stand for the promotion of the interests of the course and of the
college. They make it a policy to stand aside when it is found the college and
club activities tend to conflict. This is as it should be and as we hope it always
will be. It is possible to develop social activities to a larger degree in the club
than in the course as a whole, and men must have some social activities or they
will become as mere machines. It is our hope that these clubs will continue to
prosper and will live up to the high purposes for which they were formed.

i:tt)o=iear ^tfjletics;
Two-Year students at Massachusetts Agricultural College are not eligible
to play on M. A. C. varsity teams. An athletic department for the course was
therefore organized, and a team representing the course in three major sports,
football, basketball, and baseball, plays a schedule of outside games.
"Em" Grayson, a graduate of M. A. C, and a star athlete who played end
on one of Aggie's best teams, was appointed coach, so we were indeed fortunate
in that respect. Coach Grayson has turned out some very good products from
the raw material available. The teams have been a credit to the course. Two-
Year athletics has been given a good start; a valuable precedent has been estab-
lished.
jFootfaall, 1919
The response to the call for candidates for the team was answered by a
large squad of eager but mostly inexperienced men. It was indeed a difficult
task for the coach to develop a team from a squad of such varied experience.
However, with the spirit and pep that has ever been shown by the Two-Year
students, and under the direction of the athletic department, the most difficult
problems were soon cleared away.
It was rather late in the season to begin to schedule games for the current fall,
but the newly elected managers succeeded in arranging a schedule of four games.
Professor Hicks, in charge of athletics, ordered complete outfits for the
team, and they arrived in plenty of time to be christened in our first game.
Coach Grayson had been working industriously with the squad and had
managed somehow to select two teams from the "would-be's" who had been
out every day showing him how the game should not be played. A few of the
men had previously played, either on high school teams or elsewhere. With
"Em's" coaching, their assistance, and the eternal practice, a team began to
round into shape.
After a short two weeks of practice the first game with Williston Academy
was played. As Captain Pickard says, "It sure was some game!" We were
soft, green, and with insufficient practice. They really did have a powerful
team that season. They won!
Then we played Springfield College 2ds and they won. Our next game was
with varsity "C" team when we put over our first victory. We duplicated with
Rosary High in the final game of the year. The team continued to practice,
however, and gave Coach Gore's varsity team some good practice scrimmaging
for their final games.
All in all it was a profitable season. Some valuable experience had been
gained, a nucleus for the 1920 team was developed, and the activity of the team
helped considerably in imbibing spirit into the new Two-Year Course.

Jfootball, 1920
It certainly was a great team! Spirit and pep! Every one had the spirit
of "Let's go!" and there were four and five teams out daily, all working to make
the Two-Year varsity team. Coach Grayson certainly had his hands full to
keep them all busy alone. Twenty men from the 1919 season reported. The
rest were recruits, most of them raw.
The season looked promising. Six games had been scheduled with the
strongest "prep" school and college second teams in the section. "Pick" was
again elected captain, and under his leadership and "Em's" coaching the team
soon began to get into swing.
The season's first game was unavoidably cancelled and that left us with the
Springfield game on hand without any previous practice games. Nearly the
entire student body journeyed to Springfield for that game, and the team put
up a game fight but lost, 21 to 7. Much, yea, very much experience was gained
in that game. The following Saturday the team went to Connecticut to play
Suffield Academy. It was a wonderful game, a "regular heart-breaker," for
with fourteen more first downs than our opponents we lost. The team was
swinging into its stride, however, and although the next game, with Gushing
Academy, was supposedly our hardest game, the team literally walked away
with it. It was "Let's go!" every minute and every fnan on the team fought
e\'ery second of play. The next game, with Connecticut Aggie 2ds, was played
on about the coldest day of the year. Despite the cold raw wind which swept
the field, almost every Two-Year student was out there cheering the team on to
the last minute of a 53 to 0 victory.
Truly a successful season, not only in games won, but in the wonderful
spirit shown by all. It was always M. A. C. first, as was shown by the willing-
ness to help out Coach Gore's varsity teams with practice games once or twice
each week.

^gasikettjall, 1920
Our first basketball team was started in 1920, and although there were not
quite the difficulties encountered as with the first football team, it was not all
smooth sailing. The question of scheduling games was a difficult proposition,
the same trouble being encountered as with our first football team, — the Two-
Year Course and its teams were unknown in athletic circles. The manager
finally arranged a schedule of ten games.
Coach Grayson had a difficult proposition on his hands to develop a team
from the material available. Repeated calls were made for candidates, but
there were only a few who had played before. The team worked hard, and with
"Em's" coaching and the daily plugging it improved rapidly. There were two
teams, a varsity and a class team. This allowed a greater number to play .and
provided competition. The team was given excellent support by the student
body and at both varsity and class games great enthusiasm was shown.
Not a very large per cent of the scheduled games were won, nevertheless
the season cannot be called anything but successful for it stimulated the already
fine spirit of the course and laid the foundation for a splendid team for the 1921
season.

?Pa£(feetWl, 1921
The basketball season of 1921 produced a Two-Year team successful in
every true sense of the word. It was successful in the large number of games
won, successful in that it had that true Aggie spirit, that quality which is essential
to a real team, sportsmanlike playing, earnest effort, and the determination to
play its best the entire game.
There was hearty response to the first call for candidates. Practically all
of those who played in 1919 responded, besides a number of new men, and mem-
bers of the Freshman class. With the services of Coach Grayson and the large
squad out, the season looked very bright to those who watched the practice
games. With the start of practice, "Bunny" Burnett was unanimously re elected
captain.
Practice started off enthusiastically, the only handicap being in the large
squad out. Two teams, a varsity and a second team, were soon picked and lively
practice games took place daily. There was strong opposition for every posi-
tion and every one was given a chance to make good. After a period of hard
daily practice a very promising team was developed under the efficient direction
of our coach.
The season started off with a "bang," the first game being a win over Clark
School with a good score. The next three games were also wins for our Two-
Year team. The first upset came in the game with Suffield Academy, but we
shall always claim that if a return game had been played the score would have
been reversed. The next two games resulted in victories for our team. These
were followed by a defeat at the hands of Deerfield Academy on their court.
However, this score was evened up later in the season when our boys succeeded
in vanquishing the Academy in the final game of the year. The team finished
its brilliant season with five straight wins, making the total of eleven victories
and two defeats.
The support given both the class team and the varsity team by the members
of the student body was no small factor in spurring the team on to its best effort.
The spirit of the team was excellent at all times. As in the case of the develop-
ment of every one of our fine athletic teams no small credit is due Coach "Em"
Grayson for his fine spirit and painstaking interest in the welfare and success of
our teams.

Pageball, 1920
The first baseball team to represent the Two-Year Course at Massachusetts
Agricultural College was organized in the spring of 1920. It was composed
principally of Federal Board students who were not out on placement training.
There were among the players three men from the first graduating class of the
course.
"Em" Grayson, our competent coach of Two-Year athletics, took the squad
in hand in preparation for a successful season. Although a late start was made,
the manager was able to secure a schedule of seven games besides several practice
games. It was not long after the squad settled down to serious effort that a
promising team began to develop.
The first game, with Williston Academy, resulted in a rather decisive defeat
for the team. However, that defeat was such a lesson to them that they never
let another team catch them napping the entire season. As a result, the season
ended with a record of one defeat and six victories for the Two-Year team.
Although the team had few "rooters" due to the fact that the class of 1921
was then out on farm placement for the summer, the same determination of
purpose and fine spirit was shown by this team as has been shown by every Two-
Year team developed under Coach Grayson at M. A. C.

Pagetjall, 1921
Practice for the 1921 baseball season was started indoors immediately on
the close of the basketball season. There were at least a dozen battery men out
daily and the smack of ball and glove could be heard In the Drill Hall at any
time of the day. Enthusiasm ran high and everything was indicative of a very
successful season.
Fourteen games had been scheduled and a hard but promising year was
looked forward to by the team. The early spring allowed the squad to be soon
out on the diamond, with an occasional "skull practice" of an evening "in the
Drill Hall. The team had been doing very well in practices and showed its
strength by winning handily in its first game with Amherst High.
In baseball, possibly more often than anywhere else, the unexpected will
happen. It certainly happened in the second game of the season, when, in a
very weird game with Holyoke High, the Two-Year team was defeated, although
in an attempt to redeem themselves they scored seven runs in the ninth.
Perhaps this upset was a good thing for the boys, for it seemed to put new
life and purpose into the squad, and with much "pep" and' playing excellent
ball they won the next six games against the strongest academy teams in Western
Massachusetts, until the second time they met defeat on the sand-lot diamond
of the unbeaten Rosary High of Holyoke.
The team came promptly back into its stride and won the remaining five
games of the schedule, the most notable of these being the games with Spring-
field College 2ds, Rosary High, and Deerfield Academy.
The victory over Deerfield at Commencement was a fitting climax to a
gloriously successful season. The Two- Year baseball team of 1921 was a team
of which to be proud. It played excellent sportsmanlike baseball with a spirit
and determination that is not often found, but which we hope will always be
characteristic of "Aggie Two- Year" men. This great team of 1921 furnished
an appropriate ending to the athletic career of the pioneer Two-Year class at
Massachusetts Agricultural College.

About the Greenhouses
We Build
For over half a century we have been building
greenhouses. Logically, then, we ought to
know how greenhouses should be built.
In that fifty or more years we have built practic-
ally all kinds of glass enclosures, from garden
cold-frames to greenhouses that cover consider-
ably over an acre. We tell you these things so
you may know the scope of our experience.
It matters not whether the house you want be
large or small, we can give you a service and a
value that we think careful investigation will
prove cannot be equaled.
We should be glad to talk with you; or write us
giving the size of house you require, so we can
send you facts and figures.

"It's a Gift"
It rtally is, this art of looking cool and nifty,
tliesc hot sianmer days. But if s easily acquired
It' s quite likely that if you ask one of these
spick-and-span fellows how he does it you' II
find that he' s wearitig shirts and collars which
we have professionally laundered — not merely
washed and ironed.
His linen has had the benefit of a process
of ours which closes the pores of the fabric,
strengthens the fibres, and protects from grit
and grime.
And Willi shirts and collars such as these
you'll find it an easy matter to always look
your best.
fust send us your bundle and we' II gladly
show you. Phone and our driver will call.
