We  have  attempted,  in  publishing  this  year's 
Shorthorn,  to  carry  out  the  ideals  and  spirit  of  the 
preceding  editions,  and,  profiting  by  the  excellent 
examples  afforded  us,  to  turn  out  as  good  a  book  as 
is  in  our  power.  Let  us  hope  that  following  classes 
will  in  turn  Ijenefit  by  our  mistakes,  worthily  add  to 
the  traditions  and  ideals  set  before  them,  and  produce 
Shorthorns  of  ever-increasing  excellence.  For  after 
all,  a  year-book  perpetuates  the  traditions  and  spirit 
of  a  college  course  in  the  minds  of  its  graduates;  and 
what  better  method  of  preserving  them,  so  adding 
to  the  honor  and  dignity  of  the  Two-Year  Course, 
than  to  base  the  foundation  of  every  edition  of  the 
Shorthohn  upon  them? 


DEDICATION

Our  sincere  friend  and  leader,  whose 
advice  and  material  aid  have  been  a  great 
help  to  us  in  compiling  this  edition  of  the 
Shorthorn,  this  volume  is  dedicated  as  a 
token  of  our  appreciation  for  the  help  and 
friendship  he  has  given  us  during  our 
college  days.

Since  its  organization  in  1918,  at  the  request  of  the  Massachusetts  legisla- 
ture, the  Two- Year  Course  in  practical  agriculture  has  registered  905  students. 
There  are  now  354  graduates  of  the  course.  Practically  all  of  these  are  in  Mas- 
sachusetts or  in  New  England,  but  graduates  of  the  course  are  to  be  found  in 
Florida,  California,  the  Northwest,  and  even  the  Isle  of  Jersey. 

It  was  the  intention  of  the  legislature  to  create  a  distinctly  vocational 
course  and  such  has  been  the  policy  of  administration.  Seven  major  voca- 
tional lines  are  now  open  to  the  student.  Six  months  of  placement  training  are 
required  and  the  assistance  of  the  college  given  to  students  in  finding  positions 
when  the  course  has  been  finished. 

Full  provision  has  been  made  for  the  social,  athletic,  and  recreational  life 
of  the  student  bodj'  through  clubs,  organizations,  committees,  etc.  One  of  the 
strongest  features  of  the  Two- Year  Course  is  that  it  does  provide  opportunity 
for  the  general  development  of  the  student. 

The  course  has  not  been  in  existence  long  enough  to  determine  what  its  ulti- 
mate contribution  to  Massachusetts  Agriculture  will  be.  It  has  already  gained 
a  worthy  name  for  itself  in  the  state.  It  has  a  loyal  alumni  and  in  my  judgment 
an  assured  future.  As  years  go  by  the  graduates  of  this  course  become  influencial 
farmers  of  the  state.  The  future  of  the  course  will  to  a  great  extent  depend  upon 
the  interest  of  the  alumni  in  helping  each  other  and  through  the  support  and  loyalty 
to  the  college.  It  has  Ijeen  a  rare  privilege  to  know,  during  the  past  six  years, 
the  student  body  enrolled  in  this  course.  Whatever  success  the  course  may  have 
already  attained  has  been  due  to  the  democratic  spirit  of  our  great  president  and 
loyaltj'  of  our  student  bodj\  To  this  student  body  I  am  now  bidding  farewell 
with  every  good  wish  and  with  every  expression  of  gratitude  for  their  counsel, 
co-operation  and  support.

How  well  do  we  remember  President  Butterfield's  warm  words  of  welcome 
when  Fate  or  Fortune  guided  us  to  the  M.  A.  C.  campus  as  students  in  the  Two- 
Year  Course.  We  may  remember  even  more  clearly  the  first  class  meeting  in 
Room  "F"  of  good  old  French  Hall  where  vSwanson  and  Armstrong,  the  sages 
of  the  class  of  '23,  expounded  to  us  the  traditions  of  the  course,  laid  down  the 
rules  and  regulations  of  campus  etiquette,  and  conducted  the  election  of  class 
officers  for  the  132  students  enrolled  in  the  Two- Year  Course. 

Everett  Miller  was  entrusted  with  the  leadership  of  the  class.  Dorothy 
Haskell  was  made  class  secretary,  while  Allerton  Johnstone  became  guardian 
of  the  treasury,  succeeded  later  by  Cole.  The  constitution  was  drawn  up  by  a 
committee  headed  by  Hugh  Eaton.  Receptions  and  dances  were  frequent  during 
the  fall  term  and  were  a  source  of  much  pleasure.  Athletics  occupied  the  spare 
time  of  some,  while  others  devoted  themselves  more  to  social  activities. 

During  the  winter  term  basketball,  dramatics  and  social  events  furnished 
recreation.  However,  not  the  least  of  our  time  and  energy  was  expended  in 
classroom  and  library. 

The  end  of  the  winter  term  marked  our  farewell  to  friends  and  dispersed  us 
over  the  countryside  to  the  farms  for  our  practical  experience.  The  Short  Course 
Office  kept  us  informed  of  campus  events  through  the  pages  of  a  monthly  newslet- 
ter. Except  for  that  many  of  us  would  never  have  heard  from  our  classmates 
during  the  summer. 

On  our  return  in  September  close  relations  were  soon  established  with  the 
incoming  class  and  we  settled  down  to  business.  In  November  class  officers 
were  elected.  Elwin  Cromack  became  president;  Harold  Olsen,  vice-president; 
Alice  Goodnow,  secretary;  and  Albert  Cole  was  continued  in  the  treasury.  A 
corps  of  financiers  was  appointed  to  aid  the  treasurer  in  his  stupendous  task.  A 
new  system  of  handling  social  affairs  was  adopted  on  suggestion  from  the  office. 
Season  tickets  for  two-year  social  events  were  issued  to  each  member  of  the  class. 
This  plan  has  proven  very  satisfactory.  Work  on  the  1924  Shorthorn  began 
early  under  the  able  supervision  of  Albert  Cole  as  Editor-in-Chief  and  Lawrence 
Longley,  Business  Manager. 

Outdoor  sports  and  hikes  were  very  popular  during  the  winter.  We  missed 
the  class  of  '25  when  they  left  in  March  but  we  feel  sure  that  thej'  will  return  to 
carry  on  the  standards  of  the  Two- Year  Course.  Dramatics  and  baseball  were 
attractive  to  a  good  number  and  the  excellent  work  of  those  participating  cannot 
be  too  highly  praised.  All  eyes  were  set  toward  the  goal  which  had  constantly 
inspired  us — our  own  commencement. 

The  commencement  exercises  were  such  as  we  never  can  forget.  The  class 
play,  "Believe  Me  Xantippe,"  was  excellent.  The  Class  Day  exercises  and  all 
other  events  were  very  well  attended  by  friends  and  relatives.  Sixty-nine  of  us 
received  certificates  from  the  hands  of  President  Butterfield. 

No  matter  what  our  worldly  lot  may  be,  we  will  never  forget  the  two  years, 
the  happiest  of  our  lives,  that  we  spent  at  M.  A.  C.  Our  thoughts  will  always 
return  to  Aggie  and  our  sincerest  gratitude  will  be  with  Professor  Phelan,  our 
constant  adviser  and  friend.

"To  the  Aggie  Inn  on  high,  for  tonight  we  dine." 

"Jim"  is  one  of  those  fellows  who  can  be  insulted 
four  different  ways  and  still  be  good  natured,  always 
joking  and  making  the  party  merry.  We  don't  know 
whether  for  protection  or  from  force  of  habit  "Jim" 
takes  "Wes"  Howe  with  him  everywhere.  What  will 
you  do  for  a  wife,  "Jim,"  when  "Wes"  marries  his 
North  Amherst  blonde?  "Jim's"  favorite  sports  are 
chewing  gum  and  sprinting  to  breakfast  about  7. .50 
each  morning.  All  of  '24  wishes  you  luck,  "Jim," 
whether  you  shine  shoes  for  the  President  or  cut  cord- 
wood  in  Belchertown.

"Well  mauled  about,  though  hard  of  head,  on  gridiron 
struggles  fierce." 

This  sturdy  son  of  Vermont  is  one  of  the  "Big  Four" 
from  that  distant  land  about  Waitsfield.  Nothing 
should  prevent  "Bis"  from  being  a  prosperous  farmer. 
He  has  no  weaknesses — by  that  we  mean  he  has  not 
seen  any  women  in  this  district  that  appeal  to  him. 
Those  who  took  Agri.  Ec.  in  his  class  remember  his 
rosy  cheeks  when  his  cold  neighbor  looked  his  way. 
"Bis"  likes  to  "cut-up"  once  in  a  while  and  his  idea  of 
sport  is  watching  bottles  fly  around  the  dairy.  Any 
one  calling  "Bis"  his  friend  has  something  to  be  proud 
of  and  we  all  wish  j'ou  success,  "Bis,"  when  you  return 
to  your  native  town.

"Love  may  transform  me  to  an  oyster. 
But  I'll  take  my  oath  on  it, 
Till  he  has  made  an  oyster  of  me. 
He  shall  never  make  me  such  a  fool." 
About  the  fu'st  thing  we  saw  when  we  arrived  in 
September,    1922,    was    a    hungry-looking    Thespian. 
That   was   Blanchard.     Women,    church   socials,    and 
dancing  helped  him  while  away  the  time  "between  the 
acts."     He  said  that  his  major  was  Pomology,  but  we 
think  it  is  Dramatics.     We  know  that  that  was  his 
big  work  his  senior  year.     If  you  are  ever  in  Leominster 
and  hear  a  squeaky  little  voice  say,  "Hello,  there," — 
look  for  "Larry."

"Jim" 
Stonv  Point,  Va. 

1896;   Animal  Husbandry;   Baseball  (2). 

"Then  hoe  it  down  and  scratch  your  grabble, 
To  Dixieland  I'm  bound  to  trabble." 
"Jim"  has  been  a  popular  member  of  the  class  dur- 
ing our  two  years  here,  and  he  has  developed  quite  a 
"rep"  as  chef  for  "Ma"  Goodwin.  "Jim"  came  to  us 
from  Virginia  and  doesn't  care  much  for  our  raw  win- 
ters. He  plans  on  two  years  more  here  for  special 
study.  Few  of  us  question  why  "Jim"  likes  M.  A.  C. 
so  much.  What  we  wonder  is  why  they  put  M.  A.  C. 
so  far  from  the  rest  of  the  world.  Well,  "Jim,"  we  all 
wish  you  luck. 

(gcorge  Mellcalep  ?@ootI) 

"Boots" 
Everett 

1903;   Horticulture;   A.  T.  G.;   Dramatic  Club  (2). 

"Pass  the  sugar,  Denny." 
Same  being  a  rather  small  blue-eyed  and  sandy- 
haired  son  of  Old  England,  with  many  of  his  native 
habits  and  prerequisites  still  clinging  to  him.     We  are 
minded  forcibly  of  the  following: 

"There  was  an  old  man  from  Dundee 
Who  always  put  sand  in  his  tea; 
He  received  a  great  shock 
When  he  found  that  a  rock 
Had  formed  on  the  inside  of  he." 
However,  rain  or  shine,  good  luck  or  bad,  "Boots" 
always  keeps  his  shadow  behind  him  and  turns  to  the 
world  a  smiling   countenance   and   a  cheery  remark. 
But  he's  an  excitable  little  chap.     Perhaps  this  trait  is 
accentuated  by  his  frequent  appearance  in  public  with 
a  large  visible  expanse  of  vivid  green  shirt.     We  won- 
der did  the  dear  chappie  come  across  via  Dublin'?     On 
the  other  hand,  he  is  usually  as  shy  and  retiring  as  the 
famous  violet.     We  would  delight  to  know  of  any  dates 
he  has  made;  nor  does  he  ever  visit  the  Abbey.     How- 
ever— be   it   whispered — "Boots"    plans   on   going   to 
Tennessee  upon  completing  his   arduous  labors  here, 
upon  which  much  may  hinge.

President  Student  Council  (2). 

"All  thai  glitters  is  not  gold." 

"Rusty"  Bryant,  alias  "Kid  Ripple,"  so-called  be- 
cause of  his  wavy  hair.  His  big  red  head  is  a  g-g-great 
b-b-ball  of  f-f-fire,  and  it  is  admired  by  all  the  co-eds. 
He  came  to  us  from  the  great  metropolis  just  outside  of 
Lowell,  known  as  Dracut.  "Rusty"  has  stepped  out 
three  or  four  times  this  year,  'nuff  sed,  he  don't  want 
the  world  to  know  about  it.  Words  will  not  express 
his  beauty;  the  Slikum  Company  is  losing  a  fortune  by 
not  having  him  in  their  ads.  His  one  great  weakness 
outside  of  women  is  eating  ice  cream.  We  expect  this 
young  man  to  do  wonders  in  farm  organization  in  the 
rural  community  in  which  he  lives.

"Just  an  ordinary  easy-going  cuss,  but,  like  the  ordi- 
nary run  of  men,  no  better  or  no  unissy 

"Bill"  hails  all  the  way  from  Tewksburv  and  is  a 
practical  vegetable  gardener.  He  is  up  here  on  what 
he  calls  a  vacation  and  is  trying  to  get  a  little  dope  on 
the  theoretical  end  of  it.  "Bill"  is  a  quiet  little  fellow, 
well  liked  by  all,  but  he  seldom  steps  out.  This  seemed 
funny  to  us  when  we  learned  that  he  lives  next  door  to 
a  nurses'  training  school.

1902;  Pomology;  K.  K.;

Editor-in-Chief  Shorthorn. 

"He  prays  your  speedy  payment." 

"That  isn't  the  way  they  do  it  in  the  Hudson  Valley" 
is  the  favorite  expression  of  this  representative  of  the 
scions  of  old  Hendrick.  Student  Council,  Class  Treas- 
urer, passer  of  hash,  are  only  a  few  of  this  boy's  accom- 
plishments. Whatever  he  did  he  never  did  it  by  halves, 
and  his  marks  show  it.  Pomology  was  his  major,  and 
sometimes  he  has  shown  evidence  of  a  better  pomolo- 
gist  than  the  Profs.  Rumor  says  that  this  good- 
natured,  ever-smiling  chap  has  some  one  waiting  for 
him  "back  home."     How  about  it.  "Al""?

matics (2);  Shorthorn  (2);  Hockey  (2);  Baseball  (2). 
"Divine  in  hookas,  glorir)us  in  a  pipe. 
Yet  thy  true  lovers  more  admire  by  far 
Thy  naked  beauties — give  me  a  cigar." 

A  whole  volume  might  be  written  on  this  fair-haired 
vouth,  but  we  haven't  space  enough  for  that.  He 
hails  from  that  delightful  place  on  Long  Island  called 
Patchogue.  That  voluminous  smile  of  his  has  won 
him  a  host  of  friends,  including  many  members  of  the 
fair  sex  (if  anybody  doubts  this  just  inquire  at  the 
Abbej),  and  at  making  love  he  can't  be  beat.  He 
was  caught  doing  it  on  the  stage  in  Stockbridge  Hall 
one  night,  much  to  the  amusement  of  the  audience, 
and,  believe  us,  he  certainly  put  it  across.  For  "Conk" 
to  be  without  his  brief  ease,  though,  would  be  like  try- 
ing to  smoke  a  pipe  without  tobacco.  They  must 
always  be  together;  one  can't  do  without  the  other. 
"Les"  intends  to  go  into  the  nursery  business  after  he 
graduates.

"Ken" 
Boston 

1897;   Pomology. 

"Hear  no  evil,  see  no  einl,  apeak  no  evil." 

Silent,  slow,  and  dignified  is  Craig.  We  have  often 
wondered  if  his  children  are  like  him.  We  understand 
that  Kenneth  is  taking  courses  at  Amherst  College  up 
at  the  other  end  of  tlie  town.  We  are  sure  he  does 
Old  Lord  Jeff  credit.  His  quietness  was  his  badge  of 
distinction.     When  he  spoke  the  world  paused  to  listen.

1902;  ,\nimal  Husbandry;  A.  T.  G.;  Class  Presi-

Football  (2). 

"What  an  excellent  thing  did  God  bestow  upon  man 
when  He  gave  him  a  good  stomach." 

Elwin  drifted  into  Amherst  on  his  way  to  the  United 
States  from  his  native  town  of  Colrain.  He  happened 
to  pass  the  sheep  barn  and  heard  the  hungry  blats. 
Being  a  good  Samaritan,  he  stopped  and  fed  them.  He 
still  functions  along  those  lines.  He  is  active  in  all 
respects — playing  football,  being  class  president,  vice- 
president  of  the  A.  T.  G.,  and  the  Student  Council 
were  four  of  his  troubles.  There  seems  to  be  an  attrac- 
tion up  North  Adams  way  that  troubles  him  more 
than  Amherst  and  all  his  studies.  Any  one  who  has 
seen  Elwin  breeze  down  to  the  sheep  barn  at  5  a.m. 
when  the  weather  was  below  zero  will  know  he  is  bound 
to  succeed.     Go  to  it,  cowboy! 


Samuel  Susitin  Cutler 

"S.-vm" 
Bovlston 

1903;   Animal  Husbandry;   A.  T.  G. 

"Coics,  horses,  and  such-like  fill  his  day; 
But  girls,"  says  he,  "Nay,  nay,  nay,  nay!" 

"Sam"  is  a  happy,  good-natured  lad  who  never  takes 
life  seriously  or  worries  about  anything.  We  saw  very 
little  of  him  last  .year,  and  from  January  to  March  of 
this  year,  he  spent  all  his  time  milking  in  our  Royal 
Cow  Barn.  "Sam"  milked  four  times  a  day  for  a 
while,  but  that  interfered  with  eats,  sleep,  and  studies; 
so  "Sam"  gave  it  up  and  is  now  quite  a  studious  chap. 

"Sam"  is  a  hard  worker  and  is  bound  to  meet  suc- 
cess. When  he  gets  homesick,  he  struts  down  to  the

Franklin  claims  this  young  man  to  be  her  "Darling," 
but  we  thank  her  heartily  for  the  privilege  of  making 
the  acquaintance  of  him.  "Ducky"  came  here  to 
learn  how  the  trees  and  shrubs  get  their  three  square 
meals  a  day  out  of  just  common  earth  and  from  reli- 
able sources  we  find  out  that  he  has  succeeded.  We 
wish  him  every  success,  and  feel  perfectly  safe  in  say- 
ing that  he  can  administer  the  right  medicine  if  a  plant 
is  suddenly  attacked  with  indigestion.

"How  can  a  man  lire  and  yet  be  so  beautiful?" 

This  young  gentleman  with  the  neat  haircomi)  is 
otherwise  known  as  "Kid  Botulinas."  He  hails  from 
the  swamps  of  Natick,  well-known  for  its  athletes.  He 
is  one  of  the  Ned  Mahan  type,  has  made  his  lettei-s  in 
10  different  sport.s;  of  course  he  was  the  manager. 
A  world-famous  record  was  made  on  the  Remington 
typewriter  when  he  dashed  off  30  words  in  30  minutes 
with  onl\-  20  mistakes.  Not  so  bad  when  one  consid- 
ers that  he  is  a  student  of  the  hit-and-miss  system. 
He  holds  a  diploma  from  the  Perkins  Institute  for  the 
Blind. 

He  is  a  very  cagey  student  and  always  gets  a  gentle- 
man's marks.  He  says  he  could  do  better  Ijut  he  is  so 
sensitive  that  he  does  not  like  to  go  above  his  brother 
students.  He  has  learned  this  theory  in  Aggie  Ec. 
The  Golden  Rule  is  his  principle.  He  is  thinking  of 
taking  a  post-graduate  course  in  Salesmanship  so  as  to 
be  able  to  sell  penny  cones  to  the  children  in  future 
years.  If  the  class  ever  decides  to  give  EUnor  Glynn's 
play,  "Why  Girls  Leave  Home,"  "Kid  Botchy"  could 
play  "the  reason."

"Atta  old  fight,  Aggie."  Why  study  when  you  can

clad  in  a  sweat  shirt,  green  shirt  (very  green),  hip  boots, 
corduroy  trousers,  fur  cap,  and  black  rimmed  glasses, 
you  can  suspect  it  is  "Denny."  If  the  sweat  shirt  has

This  young  man  came  in  very  quietly  from  North 
Adams  and  he  hasn't  made  much  noise  since.  He 
came  to  us  with  the  idea  of  studying  An.  Hus.,  but  de- 
cided to  change  his  major  to  Dairy.  He  is  a  shark  in

collection  of  pipes  on  the  campus.  However,  wait 
until  this  young  man  starts  out  on  a  selling  campaign. 
If  vou  won't  buy  he  will  give  it  to  vou.  We  wish  vou

This  huslcy  son  of  Wilbraham  known  as  "Art"  in 
society,  but  better  known  as  "Joe,"  came  to  us  out  of 
a  clear  sky  after  attending  some  of  the  best  high  schools 
in  the  state.  But  on  account  of  the  large  amount  of 
noises,  "Art"  didn't  get  all  the  sleep  a  hard  working 
farmer  needed.  "Art"  does  like  his  sleep — ask  any 
Prof.  The  cure  is  fresh  air  on  Stockbridge  steps.  If 
we  work  at  the  pace  Files  does,  we  all  would  sleep. 
"Art"  is  always  willing  and  good-natured.  He  steps 
out  with  our  co-eds  now  and  then,  but  we  won't  hold 
that  against  him.  "Art"  and  his  Holsteins  are  going

collecting  bulletins  and  ne'er  was  one  published  but 
what  he  has  got  his  talons  on  it.  Nevertheless, 
"Fittsy"  has  the  makings  of  a  successful  poultryman

"Bat"  came  to  us  from  the  Back  Bay  of  "Bean

cultural career  perhaps  even  she  herself  doesn't  know. 
At  any  rate,  we  are  sure  she  will  make  good  in  her 
chosen  line  and  if  those  Indian  friends  of  hers  on  that 
far-off  Oklahoma  Reservation  don't  acquire  some  good 
old  New  England  farming  methods  when  she  reaches 
them  (if  the  owner  of  that  "frat"  pin  doesn't  reach  her 
first),  it  won't  be  her  fault!  Battle  has  always  been  a 
most  loyal  supporter  of  all  our  class  activities,  a  gener-

We  are  all  mighty  glad  to  have  known  her.

"Shall  we  loear  these  .  .  .  for  a  day?  Or  shall  they 
last?" 

Meet  the  Beau  Brummel  of  our  class — blond  curly 
hair  'n'  everything.  We'll  say  he  dolls  up.  Oh,  gee, 
yes!  One  can  hear  his  blue  and  gray  checked  sweater 
coming  before  it  heaves  into  sight.  Combine  that 
with  a  gray  felt  hat,  light  suit,  fawn-colored  overcoat, 
and  spats,  and  you  have  it  complete.  As  he  joined  us 
one  term  late,  he'll  be  returning  next  year  to  set  an 
example  in  dress  for  the  incoming  class — a  worthy 
cause.  We  wonder  what  subjects  interest  the  boy. 
There  were  varied  subjects  and  speakers  at  assembly 
the  past  year  but  he  always  did  nearly  as  much  talking 
as  the  speaker  and  never  evidenced  any  interest  in 
either  of  them.  Apparently  he  feels  that  his  conversa- 
tion is  more  interesting  to  those  about  him  than  the 
speaker's.  However,  the  Student  Council  didn't 
think  likewise.

"Geesey"  wandered  to  M.  A.  C.  from  the  place 
where  Woolworth's  is  the  highest  building.  He  came 
for  Floriculture  because  he  believes  in  the  slogan,  "Say 
it  with  flowers."  Carl  is  such  a  quiet  boy  (?).  Ask 
the  girls.  Dancing  seems  to  be  his  hobby  and  as  an 
instructor  he  can't  be  beat.  Always  slicked  and 
spruced  up,  "Goosey"  makes  a  very  pleasing  and  popu- 
lar young  man  and  we  can't  blame  the  girls  in  the  least 
for  falling  for  him.  He  has  the  good  wishes  of  all  the

"There  is  many  a  'Goode'  tune  in  an  old  fiddle." 

Frank  may  be  an  old  man  but  he  has  young  ideas. 
He  also  has  some  ideas  about  the  way  the  poultry  de- 
partment is  conducted  and  never  hesitates  to  tell  the 
instructor  about  it.  His  greatest  pride  is  that  no 
woman  ever  bossed  him  until  he  had  Miss  Pulley  in 
Poultry.  His  activities  at  "Aggie"  have  been  as  varied 
as  they  were  before  he  came  here.  As  an  ex-ball 
tosser,  he  helped  coach  the  varsity  baseball  team  this 
spring.  Having  worked  in  the  shoe  industry  he  sold 
shoes  on  the  campus  and  threatens  to  return  to  the 
industry.  Because  of  his  drafting  experience  he  was 
the  shining  light  of  the  class  in  Rural  Engineering,  but 
his  greatest  achievement  is  his  newl,v  gained  knowledge 
in  turkey  raising.  If  you  want  real  down-to-the-min- 
ute  information  on  this  subject,  Frank  will  give  it  to 
you  without  any  urging  on  your  part.  Just  mention 
the  subject.  Alter  placement  training,  Frank  came 
back  with  a  Kissel  car.  He  says  a  car  is  a  great  con- 
venience but  it  cost  him  a  lot  of  worry  to  learn  that 
the  motor  won't  run  far  without  oil.  It's  rough  on 
bearings.     Experience  is  a  tough  teacher,  eh,  Frank?

"She  is  pretty  to  walk  unth  and  loitty  to  talk  with  and 
pleasant,  too,  to  think  on." 

Although  "Al"  has  many  loyal  friends  among  the 
men  at  "Aggie"  the  particular  attraction  seems  to  be 
in  the  direction  of  Springfield,  as  evidenced  by  the 
appearance  on  week-ends  of  a  certain  young  man  and 
a  certain  green  Hudson.  We  have  heard  it  said  that 
"Al"  can  throw  a  mean  ball,  Judging  from  the  noise 
that  can  be  heard  in  the  south-end  of  the  "Allies"  at 
the  Memorial  Building  on  Monday  nights,  we  agree. 
Alice  has  dragged  herself  laboriously  through  two  win- 
ters here  at  "Aggie,"  but  has  never  had  the  chance  to 
perspire  through  a  summer.  So  she  has  decided  to 
stay  and  use  her  agricultural  knowledge  in  the  interest 
of  the  Grounds  Department,  and  "Papa"  Dickinson 
should  find  her  an  able  and  willing  worker.

hungry.  "Haff"  and  "Sherm"  English  spent  most  of 
their  time  together  last  year.  "Sherm"  had  hard  luck 
and  had  to  stay  home  and  work;  and  we  see  more  of 
"Haff"  and  think  him  a  promising  agriculturist.  He 
spends  more  time  studying  than  most  of  us  prescribe, 
but  "Haff"  is  going  to  win  out.  Good  luck,  "Haff." 
"Haff"  has  one  weakness — alas,  women!  He  sure  has 
good  taste  and  believes  in  importing  girls  for  our  dances. 
He  considers  studies  a  man's  work;  but  when  there  is 
a  dance  in  town,  he  says,  "Ladies  first."

that  this  peaceful  old  vallej'  could  produce  such  a  per- 
fect specimen  of  the  modern  excitement  eater?  To  this 
latter  trait  I  s'pose  we  can  attribute  "Dot's"  well- 
earned  reputation  for  being  able  to  swing  any  sort  of 
a  "get-together  party"  provided,  of  course,  boys  are 
included,  from  a  bacon  bat  on  Toby  to  a  dance  in 
Memorial  Hall.  She  was  also  an  ardent  supporter  of 
skiing  hikes,  especially  the  "two-sy"  kind,  but  that 
was  in  '23!  Them  days  is  gone  forever?  Seriously, 
though,  "Dot"  deserves  all  the  credit  coming  to  her,

that  it  is  "Duke,"  for  that  is  his  favorite  trick.  We 
remember  one  dairy  class  where  he  did  that  very  thing. 
Pomology  expert  should  be  his  title,  for  he  knew  the 
subject  as  well  as  the  Profs.  We  believe  he  only  came 
here  for  a  vacation.  At  least  he  was  alwaj's  talking 
about  "Conyer's"  and  "Drew."  "Duke"  was  always 
right.  If  you  didn't  know  it,  he  would  tell  you  so.

"Your  grace,  I  fear,  with  dancing  is  a  little  heated." 

"Jigger"  is  a  city  guy  studying  how  to  farm.  He  is 
learning  most  rapidly.  The  science  of  milk  extraction, 
however,  has  got  "Jigger"  baffled.  Practice  makes 
perfect,  "Jig" — you  will  learn  how  to  milk  yet.  For 
a  side  issue  he  swings  a  mean  rag  on  the  food  counter 
at  the  Aggie  Inn.  "Jigger"  can  sell  anything  they  have 
in  stock  there,  although  he  seldom  gets  the  right  price 
for  it.  He  is  in  "Mike's"  class  when  it  comes  to  sleep- 
ing through  a  lecture.  On  any  Saturday  night  he 
can  be  found  going  strong  in  some  dance  hall  in  Hamp. 
But  this  is  not  his  only  accomplishment ;  any  one  that 
took  Rural  Engineering  S-.5,  knows  "Jigger"  is  an  ac-

about  this.  That  line  should  get  him  by,  though,  if

him  from  the  four-year  course,  which  in  turn  got  him 
from  Ohio  state.  He's  a  Buckej'e  (not  meaning  incu-

"Wes"  is  a  product  of  the  wilds  of  Millbury.  The

in  life  is  to  become  a  MAX;  and  while  somewhat  dubi- 
ous about  his  ability  to  succeed  at  first,  we  are  now  sure 
he  is  succeeding  fine.  If  "Wes"  isn't  in  the  Drill  Hall, 
he  will  be  found  studying  how  to  grow  onions.  He 
usually  takes  shoe  leather  express  to  North  Amherst 
every  Saturdaj'  evening  for  a  conference  with  one  of

— and  as  religious  as  Martin  Luther — that  is  Jones. 
Beneath  his  reserve  is — a  man.  None  ever  accused 
him  of  being  a  "Social  Butterfly,"  but  he  is  a  "Good 
Pal."  We  understand  that  Jonesy  and  a  fair  one 
from  Framingham  are  going  to  travel  westward  where 
beef  cattle  and  honest  worlc  count.  We  wish  you  good 
luck,  happiness,  and  a  successful  life.

"A  blank  look  may  hide  a  multitude  of  thoughts." 

Wendell's  chief  difficulty  at  "Aggie"  has  been  to 
know  what  Jones  was  meant  when  he  was  called  upon 
in  class  to  recite.  He  has  been  enjoying  quite  a  suc- 
cessful season  as  Sheik  of  North  Amherst.  Competi- 
tion drove  him  out  of  Stow,  but,  after  learning  in 
Aggie  Ec.  how  to  combat  competition,  Wendell  has 
rapidly  regained  his  former  position.  We  all  wish  you 
luck,  Wendell.     Perseverance  will  succeed.

"Good  things  come  in  small  parcels." 

"Josh"  is  a  noble  old  soul.  He  is  following  in  Presi- 
dent Coolidge's  footsteps,  coming  from  some  little  burg 
in  \'ermont  to  Amherst  for  his  education.  He  has 
spent  the  last  five  years  getting  an  agricultural  educa- 
tion so  as  to  be  able  to  sell  silk  stockings,  but  we  believe 
he  will  make  good  as  he  can  "shoot"  a  pretty  good  line 
and  he  fits  well  with  all  the  girls.  Good  luck  to  vou,

"You've  got  to  show  me,  buddie.'' 

"Al"  took  unto  himself  a  wife  since  he  came  among 
us.  It's  a  good  insurance  to  keep  a  man  in  at  night 
and  attending  to  his  books.  One  trait  is  obvious :  when 
he  doesn't  believe  what  you  say,  he  says  so  regardless 
of  whether  he  knows  anything  about  the  subject  or 
not.  He  doesn't  care  too  much  for  straight  lectures. 
He  much  prefers  text-books  and  claims  he  could  absorb 
more  knowledge  by  the  latter  method.  Chance  to  in- 
augurate a  crusade,  "Al,"  and  get  into  "Who's  Who." 
Our  educational  system  sure  needs  some  improvements 
and  there  is  no  better  way  to  become  noted  (and  popu- 
lar) than  by  advocating  changes  in  anything.

"It  was  the  prettiest  talking  thing,  and  the  wittiest

"Lou,"  the  "Dapper  Dan"of  the  class,  hails  from 
Roslindale.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Ten-Weeks 
class  in  1922  and  we  are  all  glad  that  he  liked  the  place 
well  enough  to  come  back  in  the  fall.  "Lou"  used  to 
make  frequent  trips  to  North  Amherst  last  winter  but 
as  spring  approaches  he  has  changed  his  course  to 
Mount  Holyoke.  He  is  much  interested  in  Vegetable

rich  by  raising  asparagus.

The  worst  grind  in  the  class.  His  knowledge  of  any 
subject  is  great.  He  has  finally  impressed  upon  our 
minds  that  the  Leased  Car  System  was  abolished  in 
1916  by  the  Inter-State  Commerce  Commission. 
"Larry"  is  one  of  the  hardest  workers  for  the  class. 
To  him  goes  much  of  the  credit  for  the  success  of  this 
book.  He  has  worked  unceasingly  with  never  a  grum- 
ble.    We  expect  some  day  to  hear  of  Professor  Longley 

in  College,  as  he  is  a  great  devotee  of  "Jud's." 

It  is  rumored  that  Flint  Laboratory  is  going  to  be  called

"Something  between  a  hindrance  and  a  help." 

Here's  a  lad  that  surely  missed  his  calling.  Profes-

Lowe's  distinguishing  mark.  Although  we  understand 
that  "Boogey"  is  engaged,  we  have  observed  him  on 
several  trips  to College.  Watertown  is  responsi-

After  spending  a  lifetime  riding  herd  on  the  "wild"

to  Amherst  to  see  how  the  co-eds.  Smith,  and  Mount 
Holyoke  were.  Pomology  was  only  a  sideline,  though 
registered  as  his  major;  tor  "Mac"  never  believed  in 
studying.  When  called  upon  he  was  distinguished  by 
his  laugh.  He  reaUzed  his  lifelong  ambition  while  at 
Amherst;  and  that  was  to  discover  whether  hot  water 
burns.     What  was  the  result,  "Mac"?

has  been  in  the  air  all  through  his  sojourn  here.  We 
wonder  what  they  think  of  him  in  Newton?  He  started 
as  a  Pomology  man,  but  we  understand  that  he  is  now 
trying  to  major  in  Pom.,  Hort.,  Man.,  and  love-making. 
At  least  he  is  a  fast  worker.  While  here,  he  has  met  a 
girl  and  become  engaged,  smashed  a  good  car,  and  has 
been  a  Sunday  school  teacher.  Question:  Where  was

His  farm  placement  was  spent  on  a  Pepperell  poultry

This  easy-going,  good-natured,  freckled-faced  lad  is 
a  son  of  old  New  England,  born  and  reared  in  the  wilds 
of  North  Amherst.  "Johnny"  came  here  with  the 
determination  to  learn  how  to  domesticate  those  "wild 
fowls"  in  the  backwoods.  "Johnny"  goes  home  every 
night  in  time  to  help  put  them  to  bed.  He  has  learned 
that  a  hen  is  also  a  rooster —  at  night!  Due  to  "John-

old  saying,  "Still  water  runs  deep,"  and  perhaps 
"Johnny"  will  surprise  us  all  some  day  and  develop  a 
new  species  of  fowl  greater  than  those  of  the  "Aggie"

tipped  his  hat  to  all  friends  that  he  met.  What's  the

contest  during  his  first  year.  He  turned  out  some 
clever  goods,  burned  a  lot  of  midnight  oil,  and  saved 
himself  a  lot  of  unnecessary  studying.  He  further  sup- 
plemented this  work  of  diversion  by  reading.  No 
chance  of  getting  bored  by  school  work.  Frank  is  a

"You  know  it  is  a  terrible  thing  to  be  pestered  with  poets." 

"Sel"  is  undouVjtedly  the  next  logical  contender  for

a  wicked  punch.  Selby  has  two  rivals.  The  first 
is  for  the  hand  of  a  fair  maid  of  Brockton,  but  "Sel" 
seems  to  have  struck  terror  to  this  fellow's  heart, 
when,  uncoiling  one  of  his  famous  hooks  to  the  jaw,  he 
said,  "B.  B.  B."  (or  breeze,  boy,  breeze).  His  other 
rival  is  01  sen,  for  both  are  noted  for  always  having  on

that  if  he  stays  out  of  jail  long  enough,  he  will  succeed.

George  Raymond  Peaslee,  better  known  as  "Pop," 
is  a  ghstening  topped  son  of  Pittsfield.  His  first  year 
was  rather  quiet,  but  of  late  he  has  been  leading  a 
rather  romantic  life  around  the  campus.  We  all  pre-

to  love  about  the  tenth  of  February.  His  favorite  ex- 
pression from  that  time  on  has  been  "The  Abbey  has 
charms."  He  has  been  an  industrious  youth  while 
at  M.  A.  C.  as  his  luxuriant  growth  of  hair  indicates. 
Many  a  Prof.'s  hands  have  been  kept  warm  by  "Pop's"

but  for  some  accountable  reason  he  never  strayed 
toward  the  Abbey.  He  comes  from  Danvers  and  to 
hear  him  expostulate  at  times  one  would  asssume  that 
he  lives  on  the  hill.  His  favorite  expression  is,  "Now

he  overcomes  his  desire  to  watch  other  people  work  we

Gordon  came  to  us  for  a  very  good  reason.  Women

where  women  are  scarce.  He  had  to  stay  away  from 
civilization,  but  we  fear  none  of  the  cops  know  him. 
His  idea  of  fun  is  to  disagree  with  the  An.  Hus.  Prof, 
and  thus  keep  the  rest  of  the  class  amused.  He  and 
N.  White  get  their  heads  together,  and  then  there  is 
usually  a  big  time  in  town.  They  have  the  police  force 
on  their  tracks  for  keeping  it  awake  after  9  p.m.  Scot-

see  him  except  at  chapel  or  classes.  "Steve,"  you 
know,  is  a  bit  older  and  a  respectable  married  man. 
We  frequently  obtained  good,  fatherly  advice  from  him 
on  subjects  which  we,  and  frequently  he,  knew  nothing 
about.  "Steve"  has  worked  hard  and  made  good  here 
at  "Aggie"  and  we  are  confident  that  in  whatever  he 
undertakes  he  will  succeed.     Good  luck  to  you,  "Steve."

"Buck" 
Welleslev  Hills 

1904;  Horticulture;  K.  K.;  Football  (1)  (2);  Bas- 
ketball (1). 

"So  comes  a  reckoning  when  the  banquet's  o'er; 
The  dreadful  reckoning,  and  inen  smile  no  more." 

We  often  wonder  why  "Buck"  left  the  alluring  vicin- 
ity of  Wellesley  Hills  with  its  adjacent  attractions. 
At  any  rate,  he  began  absorbing  Hort.  to  say  nothing, 
of  manlier  pastimes.  "Buck"  played  football  both 
years,  and  played  it  well;  also  basketball  his  freshman 
year.  He  was  a  prominent  figure  in  "Dick's"  and 
"Tommie's"  classes;  also  an  ardent  golfer.  That 
mashie  shot  from  the  K.  K.  lawn  to  East  Pleasant 
Street  will  go  down  in  history.  With  all  this,  he  took 
interest  in  maintenance  work,  especially  the  famous 
campus  activities  under  the  sharp  eyes  of  Prof.  Dick- 
inson. "Buck"  will  never  be  the  same  man,  however. 
Luck  to  vou,  old  man.

"7  say,  chappie,  wake  up  from  that  slumber." 

Everybody  up!  Yea!  "Mike."  Another  protege 
is  found  in  this  husky  boy  from  Adams.  He  can  sleep 
any  time  or  any  place,  whether  it  is  in  Micro,  or  Aggie 
Ec.  Although  he  is  studying  the  science  of  Dairy 
Man.  we  still  think  he  will  be  a  hash  sUnger  in  some 
Adams  beanery.  He  is  getting  great  experience  in  the 
game  here  at  college;  he  is  the  prize  waiter  in  the  co-ed 
department.  It  is  fortunate  that  he  was  blessed  with 
long  legs,  as  he  had  to  tear  from  Draper  Hall  to  the 
Entomology  building  in  three  minutes  flat,  for  Rur. 
Soc.     We  wish  him  success  regardless  of  his  vocation.

"Tuck"

1899;  Animal  Husbandry;  Football  Manager  (2); 
Secretary  of  Athletic  Council. 

"There  isn't  any  suck  thing  as  being  your  own  boss  in 
this  world  unless  you're  a  tramp;  and  then  there's  the 
constable." 

"Tuck"  came  to  us  from  V.  U.  M.  to  get  an  education 
and  to  come  South  for  the  winter.  He  hails  from  up 
Waitsfield  way.  One  of  his  war  cries  was,  "Bisbee, 
get  my  papers."  "Tuck"  has  a  habit  after  the  period 
bell  rings  to  get  his  watch  out  and  pray  that  the  Prof, 
won't  show  up  tor  at  least  ten  minutes.  "Tuck"  was 
one  of  "Ma"  Goodwin's  hash  slingers  and  well  liked  by 
all.  We  give  "Tuck"  credit  for  coming  down  out  of 
the  hills  to  get  an  education;  and  the  Class  of  '24 
wishes  him  every  success.

"Wedding  is  destiny  and  hanging  likewise." 

Clarence  J.  Turffs,  commonly  known  as  "The  Sheik," 
is  the  idol  of  the  high  school  girls  who  are  young  and 
foolish.  He  is  frequently  seen  promenading  about 
town  with  a  girl  on  one  arm  and  leading  Poco,  his 
police  dog,  with  the  other.  Pop  Peaslee  maintains  that 
Poco  is  the  attraction;  for  the  girl's  sake  we  hope  so. 
His  experiences  have  been  many  and  varied;  he  stud- 
ied nearly  everj'thing  in  high  school,  so  that  his  course 
here  has  not  increased  his  knowledge  to  any  great  ex- 
tent. We  are  a  bit  skeptical  about  Rudolph's  future 
because  he  has  the  honor  of  being  the  laziest  man  in 
the  class.

"A  mans  a  man  for  a'  that." 

We  expect  that  in  about  twenty  years  the  multi- 
miUionaire,  "Sandy"  Walker,  the  nationally-known 
Pomologist,  will  invite  the  class  to  hold  its  reunion  at 
his  spacious  estate  in  Westboro  of  which  Worcester 
and  Boston  are  suburbs.  If  silence  was  golden 
"Sandy"  wouldn't  have  to  do  another  stroke  of  work. 
We  expect  that  if  "Sandy"  gets  married,  that  the  girl 
will  have  to  do  the  courting,  for  Franklin  was  never 
seen  with  a  girl  nor  heard  to  talk  about  one.

"Larry" 
Dover 

1903;   Animal  Husbandry. 
"Don't  wait  until  your  ship  comes  in — row  out  and  get  it." 

Laurence  S.  White,  better  known  as  "Larry,"  is  a 
quiet,  easy-going  lad.  We  saw  little  of  him  the  first 
year,  but  he  has  come  to  the  rescue  several  times  this 
year,  and  opened  the  doors  at  Stockbridge  Hall  on  chapel 
mornings.  He  returned  from  placement  training  with 
a  motorcycle  of  the  antique  type.  After  performing  a 
few  unusual  and  thrilling  mishaps,  the  motorcycle  dis- 
appeared. "Larry"  has  held  down  one  of  the  janitor's 
positions  in  Stockbridge  Hall  all  the  year,  and  has  an 
unusual  faculty  for  determining  his  marks  before  any 
one  else  in  the  class.  It  is  rumored  that  he  is  engaged 
to  Cromack.  He  has  one  of  those  laughs  which  spreads 
rapidly,  as  he  is  very  ticklish.  He  spends  his  spare 
time  up  at  the  corner  or  ojjposite  the  Experiment  Sta- 
tion, winking  at  the  pretty  female  tourists.  His  smile 
causes  many  an  accident.  Whenever  you  see  the  ini- 
tials L.  S.  W.,  it  may  mean  either  "Larry's  Sweet 
Woman"  or  "Love-Sick  White";  but  according  to 
him  it  is  Laurence  S.  White.  "Larry"  is  a  good  stu- 
dent and  well  liked  by  all.  We  predict  that  "Larry" 
will  be  very  successful.

"/  over  my  hooks  my  head  do  hend, 
But  do  I  study?  No,  pretend." 
"Whitie,"  better  known  in  and  out  of  class  as 
"N.  D.,"  spends  most  of  his  time  in  Pelham.  Most 
any  time  he  and  his  inseparable  chum  "Scotty"  can  be 
seen  headed  for  some  place  of  special  attraction. 
"Whitie's"  favorite  song,  "They  Are  AH  Sweeties,"  was 
well  chosen,  and  he  is  proving  it,  too.  He  is  known 
to  his  classmates  as  a  good-natured,  hard-working, 
student,  and  has  their  best  wishes  for  success.  What- 
ever you  do,  "Whitie,"  don't  study  hard  enough  to 
make  yourself  sick;  and  remember,  no  matter  what 
jail  you  spend  the  summer  in,  we  all  wish  you  every 
success  and  hope  you  are  prosperous.

"Slim" 
Belmont 

1895;    Poultry;   Student  Council  (1). 
' 'A  ivindow  is  usual 

But  a  Ford  is  the  dope 
For  burglars  to  function 
Or  lovers  elope." 
We  almost  lost  "Slim"  this  year.  He  quit  place- 
ment training  this  summer  to  resume  his  old  trade, 
plumbing,  but  found  it  was  too  much  for  his  health. 
So  he's  with  us  yet.  He  didn't  return  until  the  winter 
term  so  he  must  finish  next  year.  As  a  student, 
"Slim"  was  always  up  with  the  top  ones.  His  most 
notable  trait,  however,  is  gum  chewing.  He  never  got 
thirsty  in  class.  Mutt  and  Jeff  were  a  common  sight 
about  the  campus.  But  upon  approach  it  proved  to 
be  "Slim"  and  his  side-kick  Joslin.  When  he  returned 
to  "Aggie"  he  was  quite  a  propertied  man,  having  ac- 
quired a  farm  and  a  Dodge.  And  we  understand  he  is 
soon  to  acquire  a  wife.  Prosperous  summer,  "Slim." 
If  he  is  as  persistent  in  clearing  up  farming  problems 
as  he  was  in  having  things  properly  explained  in  class, 
he'll  get  the  eggs  all  right,  "won't  you.  Kid?"  That  last 
remark  sounds  familiar!

"You  may  be  fast,  hut  you  wont  last, 
There  is  a  broken  heart  for  every  light  on  Main  Street." 
Ai-nold  Clarkson,  alias  "Phi  Beta,"  for  whom  the 
wilds  of  East  Street  and  Pelham  have  no  terrors,  has  a 
specialty  of  Midnight  Tea  Parties.  In  class  he  is  a 
wizard;  his  quizz  is  always  done  first.  We  predict 
great  things  for  this  young  farmer,  when  he  opens  up 
that  ice  cream  plant  in  the  wilds  of  Reading.  If  he 
doesn't  care  to  follow  up  the  dairy  work,  his  knowledge 
of  Animal  Husbandry  and  Agronomy,  with  the  aid  of 
his  Dairy  Suit,  will  qualify  him  for  a  street  cleaner's 
job  in  Reading.

1893;   Poultry;   A.  T.  G. 

"/  a?n  one  of  those  who  will  use  the  devil  himself  with 
courtesy." 

"Glen"  couldn't  see  the  idea  of  coming  to  "Aggie" 
alone,so  he  got  hitched  the  same  month  he  entered  the 
course.  Having  wandered  over  a  good  portion  of  the 
U.  S.  and  Canada,  we  don't  blame  him  for  wanting  to 
slow  up.  For  fast  walking,  "Glen"  wins  the  belt.  If 
you  ever  walked  with  him,  or  tried  to,  you  sure  stepped 
some.  He  comes  the  nearest  to  wearing  the  fabled 
seven-leagued  boots  of  any  man  we  have  ever  met. 
Good  nature  should  be  his  middle  name.  He's  a  come- 
dian. His  shaving  stunt  on  the  front  steps  of  Stock- 
bridge  when  initiated  into  A.  T.  G.  was  a  star  perfor- 
mance. "I  —  got  —  'em,"  he  says.  Together  with 
Thompson,  he's  contributed  quite  substantially  to  the 
pool  revenue  in  Memorial  Building.

"For  thy  sake,  tobacco,  I'd  do  anything  but  die.'' 

Geoi'ge  Harris  is  well  known  in  the  Dairy  circle.  He 
is  a  great  humorist.  Between  him  and  Mike,  the  Dairy 
majors  are  kept  in  an  uproar  of  laughter.  His  favorite 
question  is,  "Gotcha  dairy  done?"  He  came  to  us  with 
his  mind  made  up  on  poultry,  but  being  married  he  had 
to  lajf  off  the  chickens.  After  seeing  the  benefits  and 
pleasures  of  the  Dairy  course,  he  chose  to  be  an  ice- 
cream man.  ''Georgie"  is  always  thei-e  with  a  package 
of  Fatimas  or  a  cigar  if  you  want  it.  He  also  has  a 
flivver  and  any  one  going  his  waj'  never  has  to  walk,

"A  wise  skepticism  is  the  first  attribute  of  a  good  critic." 

We  didn't  get  in  on  the  ground  floor  and  connect 
with  much  info  about  Morrissey.  Anyway,  he's  from 
the  big  city,  as  evidenced  by  his  pronounced  New  York 
broadening  of  the  labial  consonants.  Being  a  Hort. 
major,  he,  too,  was  exposed  to  park  germ,  but  it  has 
not  as  yet  broken  forth  in  a  virulent  form.  One  job 
that  he  had  in  view  last  year  for  placement  training  was 
the  contract  for  building  a  grandstand  around  a  golf 
course.  He  lost  the  job,  however,  as  he  was  underbid 
by  a  competitor,  thereby  missing  a  chance  to  clean  up. 
It  was  said  that  his  plan  for  the  work  was  the  best  sub- 
mitted. Better  luck  next  time.  Having  missed  a  part 
of  his  placement  training,  he  returns  to  "Aggie"  next 
year  for  another  term.

the  night  in  the  same  approximate  location,  flitting 
hither  and  yon  throughout  the  greenhouses'?  This  we 
do  know,  "Sol"  is  always  doing  something,  always  on 
the  job,  and  absorbs  all  the  Floriculture  floating  around 
in  a  loose  or  semi-detached  form.  "Sol"  has  a  nifty 
little  filing  device  which  he  claims  should  be  in  every

"Tommy" 
Worcester 

1896;   Poultry;   A.  T.  G. 

"That  earliest  of  early  birds — the  milkman." 

"Tommy"  had  a  hard  life  this  last  year.  He  lived 
somewhere  between  Amherst  and  Worcester  on  the 
Belchertown  Road  and  must  have  started  the  night 
before  in  order  to  get  to  morning  assembly  at  7.30 
(when  he  got  there).  Occasionally  he  miscalculated 
and  got  to  8  o'clock  class  on  time,  but  was  usually 
pretty  accurate,  hence  late.  Sometimes  he  pushed  his 
flivver  through  some  deep  snow  to  get  there.  Aside 
from  running  out  of  gas  occasionally  or  having  a  flat 
tire  without  a  spare,  he  hasn't  many  more  troubles 
that  we  know  of.     He  is  a  regular  family  man,  having 

a  young for  which  reason  he  has  been  called  the 

daddy  of  his  class.  Congratulations,  "Tommy"! 
More  power  to  you.  We  almost  forgot  the  rubber 
boots.  These  were  quite  a  common  sight  around  Stock- 
bridge  and  other  halls  during  wet  weather.

1890;   Poultry. 

"Learn  while  you  earn — a  motto,  not  an  ad." 

"Al's"  career  at  M.  A.  C.  has  been  rather  checkered. 
He  entered  in  the  fall  of  1921  and  should  have  gradu- 
ated with  the  Class  of  '23,  but  due  to  prolonged  ab- 
sences for  sickness,  he  fell  by  the  wayside  and  now  we 
welcome  him  to  our  class  as  a  fellow  student.  Work 
got  so  pressing  at  his  farm  on  Belchertown  Road  that 
he  had  to  leave  us  last  winter  to  attend  to  his  place. 
Business  before  pleasure,  he  surely  has  made  some- 
thing of  his  young  farm  and  we  hope  it  returns  the  com- 
pliment. At  the  last  town  meeting,  the  good  people 
of  Amherst  voted  to  help  build  "Al"  a  state  road,  and 
he  should  have  a  good  roadside  stand  trade  when  that 
is  completed.  "Al"  couldn't  always  agree  with  the 
Vegetable  Gardening  Department  on  some  of  their 
teachings,  for  which  reason  he  wasn't  the  most  popular 
student  who  took  that  subject.

Junior  Classsi  i|is;torj> 


Shortly  after  our  arrival  in  September,  1923,  we  held  our  first  class  meeting 
under  the  direction  of  the  Student  Council.  At  this  time  the  following  officers 
were  elected:  President,  Ernest  Hayn;  Vice-President,  Mary  Johnson;  Secre- 
tary, Marshall  Moulton;   Treasurer,  Clyde  Hartney. 

This  first  meeting,  with  its  large  attendance  and  with  the  enthusiasm  shown 
by  all  the  members,  was  characteristic  of  other  meetings  held  during  the  year. 

Later  we  elected  our  permanent  officers  with  the  following  result:  President, 
Bernard  Snodgrass;  Vice-President,  Mary  Johnson;  Secretary,  Clarence  Law- 
ton;    Treasurer,  Donald  Harrington. 

We  were  afforded  an  opportunity  to  become  better  acquainted  with  each 
other  and  also  with  the  seniors  at  a  reception  and  dance  given  to  us  by  the  senior 
class.  We  later  returned  this  dance  to  show  our  appreciation.  During  the 
winter  term  we  co-operated  with  the  seniors  in  giving  several  dances,  which  were 
very  successful. 

Our  class  showed  up  well  in  athletics  this  first  year.  Seven  of  our  members 
were  on  the  football  team  and,  when  the  basketball  season  came,  we  furnished 
three  of  the  players  on  the  regular  team.     Several  also  went  out  for  hockey. 

Not  only  do  we  possess  considerable  ability  in  athletics  but  possess  ability 
along  the  musical  line  as  well.  Our  class  is  represented  in  the  two-year  orches- 
tra and  also  in  one  of  the  best  college  orchestras. 

Time  has  passed  altogether  too  quickly  this  term  and  although  we  are  all 
anxious  to  start  out  on  our  Farm  Placement  Work,  we  are  going  to  miss  the  life 
at  Aggie  and  will  look  forward  to  the  time  when  we  shall  return  next  fall. 

We  also  wish  to  express  our  appreciation  to  the  senior  class  for  their  kind- 
ness in  co-operating  with  us  in  our  various  activities  and  for  their  assistance  in 
helping  us  to  get  our  organization  started.  We  wish  them  all  success  in  their 
work  after  graduation.

^tubent  Council 


To  this  body  of  conscientious  and  open-minded  men  is  due  much  of  the 
respect  which  is  accorded  the  Two-Year  Course  on  the  campus  by  the  other 
groups  and  by  tl;e  faculty. 

By  the  freshmen  it  is  regarded  with  mixed  emotions  at  first,  but  as  they  later 
become  acquainted  with  the  Council  and  its  purpose  they  are  among  the  most 
hearty  supporters. 

The  Council  has  alwaj^s  taken  for  its  special  task  the  job  of  setthng  any  dis- 
putes which  may  arise  and  to  see  that  each  and  eyery  man  has  a  fair  chance  to 
prove  his  worth  to  the  course. 

Membership  is  limited  to  eleven  men  except  in  the  winter  term  when  the 
Ten  Weeks'  men  are  asked  to  send  one  of  their  members  as  a  special  representa- 
tive to  act  on  any  matter  relating  to  this  group  of  short-course  students. 

The  Council  has  always  received  the  support  and  respect  of  all  the  Two-Year 
men  and  much  of  its  success  is  due  to  this  support. 

Without  such  a  spirit  among  the  student  bodj^  such  a  group  of  law  makers 
would  not  be  able  to  exist,  and  it  has  added  much  to  the  reputation  which  the 
course  enjoys  that  it  is  a  self -governed  group. 

As  Director  of  Short  Courses,  Professor  Phelan  has  given  the  Council  much 
timely  advice  and  counsel,  without  which  their  task  would  have  been  exceedingly 
difficult  if  not  impossible. 

It  was  he  who  fostered  the  Council  in  the  early  years  of  the  course  and  to 
him  is  due  the  prestige  which  it  has  at  present. 

We  wish  to  extend  to  him  at  this  time  our  thanks  for  all  that  he  has  done 
to  make  the  way  easy  and  our  burden  light.

otial  iictibities^ 


When  we  came  here  in  the  fall  of  1922  as  "green  freshmen,"  the  seniors  wel- 
comed us  with  a  dance  in  order  that  we  might  become  better  acquainted.  With 
the  aid  of  our  active  Social  Committee  we  returned  the  dance  a  few  weeks  later. 
During  that  time  many  pleasant  parties  and  "bacon  bats"  were  enjoyed  by  vari- 
ous groups  of  the  class. 

The  winter  came  and  we  had  a  lot  of  snow  which  enabled  us  to  have  a  few 
sleigh  rides  and  snowshoeing  and  skiing  parties,  in  addition  to  dances  that  were 
held  in  the  Memorial  Building.  With  springtime  our  pleasures  ceased  and  we 
all  started  to  the  farm  for  six  months. 

Upon  returning  in  the  fall,  after  six  months  of  hard  labor,  we,  as  seniors, 
gave  the  "dear  little  freshies"  a  dance.  Showing  their  appreciation,  the  young- 
sters returned  the  dance  with  great  success.  Many  other  parties  were  enjoyed 
by  the  class  throughout  the  term. 

Due  to  the  fact  that  there  was  but  little  snow  and  the  ice  was  very  poor  this 
year,  we  were  unable  to  enjoy  many  of  the  outdoor  sports.  In  this  way  we 
missed  many  good  times  that  we  might  have  had  otherwise. 

When  the  time  was  drawing  near  for  freshmen  to  leave  for  farm  placement, 
the  two  classes  co-operated  to  give  a  dance  in  honor  of  the  members  of  the  foot- 
ball team.  The  Memorial  Building  was  daintily  decorated  with  balloons,  and 
carnations  were  given  to  the  girls  who  enjoyed  the  festivities  of  the  evening. 

It  is  impossible  for  any  of  the  members  of  the  class  to  forget  the  many  social 
events  that  took  place  during  their  stay  here  at  "Aggie."  We  are  all  awaiting 
the  time  when  we  can  join  together  in  reunions  after  we  go  out  to  take  up  our 
life  work.

.  ^.  C,  i:too=|9ear  Bramatic  Club 

The  Two-Year  Dramatic  Club  was  organized  in  Januarj'-,  1923.  It  has 
been  one  of  the  foremost  organizations  during  the  past  year,  endeavoring  to  carry 
on  the  work  which  the  Class  of  '23  had  so  well  begun. 

The  first  meeting  was  held  soon  after  college  opened  in  September  with  a 
surprisingly  large  percentage  of  the  members  of  the  Class  of  '24  present.  At 
the  second  meeting  of  the  club,  a  large  number  of  juniors  joined,  among  whom 
were  eight  young  ladies  who  proved  a  great  asset  for  the  Dramatic  Club  this 
past  year.  To  create  interest  in  dramatics  a  meeting  was  held  for  the  purpose 
of  reading  plays.  By  invitation  of  Professor  and  Mrs.  Phelan,  the  club  met  at 
their  home.  At  this  meeting  the  club  was  entertained  with  the  reading  of  two 
one-act  plays  in  which  Professor  Phelan  and  Professor  Thompson  took  the  lead- 
ing parts,  Mr.  Blanchard,  Miss  Merryman,  and  Mr.  Snodgrass  reading  the  minor 
parts.  The  interest  shown  at  this  meeting  was  so  great  that  a  second  meeting 
was  called  and  the  attendance  was  greatly  increased.  Plays  were  read  by  Mr. 
Cole,  Mr.  Conkhn,  Miss  Griswold,  Miss  Johnson,  and  Mr.  Joslin.  The  interest 
was  so  keen  it  was  decided  to  begin  stage  work  immediately,  and  try-outs  were 
held  from  which  five  one-act  plays  were  cast,  three  of  which — "Moth  Balls," 
"The  Medicine  Show,"  and  "The  Head  of  Romulus" —  were  presented  first  at 
Bowker  Auditorium  and  later  at  the  Unity  and  Methodist  churches.  A  commit- 
tee was  appointed  and  selected  "Believe  Me  Xantippe,"  by  Frederick  Ballard, 
to  be  given  as  the  commencement  play.

CAMPUS   SCENES 


Ctuo=Pear  Clubs^ 


On  looking  over  the  records  we  find  tliat  tlie  clul^s  are  nearly  as  old  as  the  course, 
for  two  of  them,  the  Kolony  Klub  and  the  A.  T.  G.,  were  founded  in  1919,  and  the 
third,  the  S.  C.  S.,  was  founded  in  1920. 

The  latter  was  originally  called  the  Alpha  Sigma  Delta,  but  the  present  name 
was  adopted  in  1921. 

Both  of  the  two  clubs  first  named  have  their  membership  limited  to  men  only, 
while  the  third  is  for  women. 

This  year  the  A.  T.  G.  had  an  active  membership  of  48  men  composed  of  28 
seniors  and  20  freshmen.     Its  alumni  number  close  to  80  men. 

The  K.  K.  had  39  men  as  active  members  this  year  and  its  alumni  number 
also  are  in  the  vicinity  of  80. 

The  S.  C.  S.  had  an  active  chapter  of  15  women  and  of  these  3  were  seniors  and 
12  were  freshmen.

Jfootball  1923 


The  Two-Year  football  team,  fall  of  1923,  played  a  schedule  of  five  games. 
The  response  to  the  call  for  candidates  for  the  team  was  mostly  inexperienced 
men.  It  was  indeed  a  difficult  task  for  the  coach  to  develop  a  team  from  such  a 
squad  of  men.  From  the  standpoint  of  scores,  the  season  could  hardly  be  called 
a  success,  as  all  games  were  lost.  Three  of  the  five  teams  played,  however, 
were  distinctly  out  of  the  class  of  the  Two-Year  team,  as  far  as  material  and 
experience  goes.  The  team  improved  steadily  throughout  the  season  and  in 
their  last  two  games  played  very  creditable  football  against  teams  of  much  greater 
ability.  The  squad  was  small  and  all  through  the  season  never  numbered  over 
twenty  men  and  at  times  dropped  as  low  as  fourteen.  Only  one  member  of  the 
squad  had  played  enough  the  previous  year  to  make  his  letter. 

Captain  Bisbee  and  Pickard  displayed  a  fine  brand  of  football  throughout 
the  season.  The  season  was  a  profitable  one  inasmuch  as  some  good  material 
has  been  produced  to  form  a  nucleus  around  which  to  build  our  1924  team. 

Cyrus  Pickard  was  elected  captain  and  Douglas  Harrington,  manager,  for 
the  coming  season.

Paigfeettjall  1924 


Nineteen  men  answered  Coach  "Em"  Grayson's  call  for  basketball  candi- 
dates on  December  3,  1923.  After  a  few  days'  practice  we  had  what  looked  to 
be  a  very  promising  aggregation  from  which  to  pick  a  team.  There  were  four 
candidates  from  last  year's  team  and  a  very  promising  group  of  freshmen.  As 
time  wore  on,  however,  the  number  gradually  diminished  until  there  were  but 
twelve  men  who  reported  regularly  for  practice.  The  first  three  weeks  of  Decem- 
ber were  spent  in  a  great  deal  of  hard  practice,  followed  by  a  two  weeks'  rest 
during  Christmas  vacation.  The  squad  came  back  after  their  rest  ready  to  take 
up  their  training  in  preparation  for  the  first  game  with  Amherst  High,  which  took 
place  January  9.  All  were  eager  and  confident  that  we  would  send  the  high 
school  boys  home  with  a  defeat. 

The  team  lined  up  as  follows:  Merchant,  r.  f. ;  Crooks,  1.  g. ;  Howe,  c; 
Towne,  r.  g. ;   Hartney,  1.  g. 

The  absence  of  Captain  Parsons  was  keenly  felt,  he  being  unable  to  play 
because  of  a  severe  cold.  At  half  time  we  were  leading  the  high  school  quintet 
by  five  points,  but  with  a  sudden  burst  of  speed  in  the  last  few  minutes  of  the 
game  they  were  able  to  overcome  our  lead  and  left  the  floor  on  the  long  end  of  a 
39  to  36  score.  "Em"  worked  diligently  to  iron  out  some  of  the  rough  spots 
which  showed  in  the  Amherst  game,  with  a  marked  improvement  showing  in 
each  succeeding  game.  Though  the  season  was  not  a  success  from  the  stand- 
point of  scores  the  team  displayed  an  excellent  brand  of  basketball,  always 
playing  as  a  team  and  not  individually.  Probably  the  most  outstanding  game 
of  the  season  was  the  Worcester  North  High  game.  The  game  was  close  through- 
out and  at  the  final  whistle  the  score  stood  at  20  all.  At  the  end  of  the  first 
overtime  period  each  team  had  added  two  point  to  the  score.  The  second  over- 
time period  brought  forth  many  thrills  and  an  excellent  exhibition  of  basketball 
by  both  teams.  "Wes"  Howe  contributed  two  points  for  our  team  in  this  period 
which  tied  the  score  at  24,  with  but  thirty  seconds  to  go.  Gallant  of  the  Worces- 
ter team  shot  the  winning  basket  from  mid-floor,  taking  home  the  victory.

Coach  Ball  sent  out  a  call  for  baseball  candidates  around  the  middle  of  March 
and  about  thirty  men  reported.  After  a  week  of  indoor  practice  "Red"  took  the 
boys  out  of  doors;  he  also  cut  the  squad  down,  keeping  only  the  best  material. 

The  first  game  was  played  at  home  with  Sacred  Heart  High,  which  ended  with 
our  opponents  on  top  with  a  9  to  0  score. 

The  following  week  we  played  three  games  on  consecutive  days,  winning  all 
three.  The  first  of  these  was  played  with  Northampton.  "Jim"  Blue  starred  with 
a  home  run,  bringing  in  three  runs. 

The  first  out-of-town  game  was  played  with  Palmer  High.  Due  to  the  loss  of 
our  captain  and  first  baseman  we  lost  this  game,  but  only  by  two  runs. 

One  week  later  Worcester  North  High  came  to  Aggie  only  to  be  defeated  by  a 
score  of  13  to  8.     This  was  our  third  game,  ending  with  a  13  score. 

Sacred  Heart  High  was  our  next  opponent.  Although  the  Two- Year  aggrega- 
tion played  an  excellent  game  we  lost  by  one  run. 

The  following  week  St.  Jerome  High  visited  the  campus.  We  were  defeated 
again  by  a  score  of  6  to  4.  "Ev"  Miller  was  our  star  in  this  game,  striking  out  12 
men. 

May  31st  brought  Deerfield  Academy  to  our  campus.  The  score  was  tied  in 
the  sixth  inning  and  no  one  scored  until  "Runt"  Clarkson  won  the  game  by  a 
squeeze  play  in  the  last  of  the  ninth. 

Our  last  game  was  played  with  Westfield  High.  We  came  out  on  the  short  end 
of  a  9  to  1  score.     The  Westfield  pitcher  seemed  too  strong  for  our  boys. 

We  all  hated  to  see  the  season  end  so  soon.  We  had  many  good  times  and  the 
joy  of  playing  together  will  long  be  remembered.

Embarrassing  Moments 

When  Cole  slapped  Prof.  Glatfelter  on  the  head  thinking  that  he  was  slap- 
ping Peaslee. 

When  Peaslee  told  Prof.  Strahan  to  get  away  from  his  desk  in  none  too 
pleasant  language  thinking  he  was  talking  to  Prentiss. 

Heard  in  Agronomy 

Blanchard  (studying  varieties  of  corn) — "I've  got  poor  ears." 
Walker — "What's  the  matter,  can't  you  hear?" 

In  Pomology  S6 

Van  Meter — "A  man  with  a  large  orchard  has  much  to  contend  with, 
especially  at  picking  time,  which  causes  him  much  worry  and  loss  of  sleep,  etc." 
Hazen — "And  loss  of  hair,  too!!" 


It  may  seem  peculiar  but  a  horse  can  eat  best  without  a  bit  in  his  mouth.

fokes; 


'A  Little  Humor  Now  and  Then  is  Relished  by  the  Best  of  Men." 


The  New  Clerk 

Young  Squibb — "I  want  to  try  on 
that  suit  in  the  window." 

Clekk — "Sorry,  sir,  but  you'll  have 
to  use  the  dressing  room." 


Hint  for  Motorists 
Farmer    (to    stranded    autoist) — 

"How'd  you  get  the  puncture?" 
Autoist — "Ran    over    a    chicken 

with  pinfeathers." — The  Juggler. 


Another  Atrocity 
The  latest  song  hit  from  the  South- 
land:    "Oh,   father's   joined   the   Ku 
Klux  Klan,  and  swiped  our  last  clean 
sheet." — The  Parrakeet. 


Agreed 

"Let's  go  walkin',  Miss  Johnsing. 

I    feels    kinda    pedestrian    tonight." 

"All  right.     I  feels  kinda  walkative 

mah  ownself." — Nashville  Tennesseean 


Bedtime  story.  You  build  the  fire 
tomorrow  morning  or  I  don't  cook 
you  any  breakfast. 


Science  has  a  new  substitute  for 
tea  and  coffee,  but  restaurants  have 
been  using  one  for  years. 


Modern  politeness  consists  of  a 
man  offering  his  seat  to  a  lady  when 
he  gets  off  the  street  car. 


Our   most   famous   rich   American 
hunters  are  chorus  girls. 


Much  coffee  was  injured  in  Detroit 
whan  a  bomb  wrecked  two  coffee 
houses,  the  cofTee  probably  being  too 
weak  to  run. 


Tactful  Que.stioner 

A  beautiful  young  widow  sat  in  her 
deck  chair  in  the  stern  and  near  her 
sat  a  very  handsome  man.  The  wid- 
ow's daughter,  a  cute  little  girl  of  four 
or  five  years,  crossed  over  to  the  man 
and  said: 

"What's  your  name?" 

"Herkimer  Wilkinson,"  was  the  re- 
ply- 

"Is  you  married?" 

"No;   I'm  a  bachelor." 

The  child  turned  to  her  mother  and 
said: 

"What  else  did  you  tell  me  to  ask 
him,  mamma?" 


Needy  old  women  will  be  given  the 
chorus  girls'  jobs  in  Germany.  Sher- 
man spoke  a  mouthful. 


Gifts  with  Advice 

Ed  Purdy  was  writing  to  his  son  in 
college:  " — and  you  kin  remember, 
Ebner,  that  college  bred  doesn't  mean 
a  four-year  loaf.  With  vest  and  other 
regards.  Pa." 


Professor — "You  seem  very 
sleepy.     Were  you  out  last  night?" 

Student — "I  had  to  sit  up  with  the 
baby  last  night." 

Professor — "Oh,  I  see.  How  old 
was  the  baby?" — Exchange.

Jokes; 


A  Few  Only 

Stranger — "Rastus,  do  the  people 
who  Uve  across  the  road  from  you 
keep  chickens?" 

Rastus — "Dey  keeps  some  of  'em, 
sah." 


Trousers  were  Frayed 

"Coin'  in  that  house  over  there?" 
asked  the  first  tramp. 

"I  tried  that  house  last  week," 
said  the  second.  "I  ain't  going  there 
any  more." 

'"Fraid  on  account  of  the  dog?" 

"Me  trousers  are." 

"Trousers  are  what?" 

"Frayed  on  account  of  the  dog." — 
Siiccess. 


At  the  Zoo 
I  asked  the  elephant 

How  fast  a  rabbit  ran; 
"I  can't  tell  you,"  he  said, 

"But  think  the  pelican." 


A  Receipt 


"What  are  you  waiting  for?"  said 
a  lawyer  to  an  Indian,  who  had  paid 
him  money. 

"Receipt,"  said  the  Indian. 

"A  receipt,"  said  the  lawyer,  "a 
receipt!  What  do  you  know  about  a 
receipt?  Can  you  understand  the 
nature  of  a  receipt?  Tell  me  the 
nature  of  one,  and  I  will  give  it  to 
you." 

"S'pose  mabe  me  die;  me  go  to 
heben;  me  find  the  gate  locked;  me 
see  'postle  Peter;  he  say,  'Indian, 
what  j''ou  want?'  Me  say,  'Want  to 
get  in.'  He  say,  'You  pay  A  that 
money.'  What  me  do?  I  hab  no 
receipt.  Hab  to  hunt  all  over  hell  to 
find  you." 

He  got  his  receipt. 


The  Indians  claim  that  hats  make 
the  white  men's  heads  bald,  but  they 
fail  to  explain  why  many  of  them  are 
empty.       

"I'm  doing  this  on  my  own  ac- 
count," said  the  forger,  as  he  passed 
over  a  check.
