We  have  attempted  to  make  this  volume  of  the 
Shorthorn  the  most  interesting  and  valu- 
able to  its   subscribers.     We  hope  our 
work  has  not  been  entirely  in  vain, 
and   that   novi'   and    in   future 
years  this  Shorthorn  will 
recall    many   happy 
memories   of   the

IN  MEMORIAM 

Life  was  sweet  to  her  'cause  of  the  friends  she  had  made 

And  the  things  which  in  common  she  shared; 
She  wanted  to  live,  not  because  of  herself, 

But  because  of  the  people  who  cared. 
It  was  giving  and  doing  for  somebody  else; 

On  that  all  her  life's  splendor  depended. 
And  the  joy  of  the  world,  when  she  summed  it  all  up 

Was  a  new  friend  made,  ere  day  had  ended.

The  Two  Year  Course  in  Practical  Agriculture  was  established  by  the 
State  Legislature  early  in  1918,  the  first  class  entering  M.  A.  C.  in  Septem- 
ber 1918. 

The  course  was  designed  primarily  to  fit  young  men  and  women  for 
life  on  Massachusetts  farms.  It  aims  to  give  them  a  chance  to  specialize 
along  some  chosen  line,  and  then  offers  a  general  knowledge  of  various 
other  branches  of  farming.  For  major  courses  Animal  Husbandry,  Poultry 
Husbandry,  Pomology,  Vegetable  Gardening,  Floriculture,  Horticulture, 
and  Dairy  Manufactures  are  off'ered,  with  Domestic  Science  courses  for 
the  girls. 

The  time  is  not  all  spent  at  the  college,  for  during  the  spring  term 
and  summer  of  the  first  year,  a  farm  placement  training  period  is  required. 
Under  careful  supervision  this  important  part  of  the  work  is  carried  on, 
and  now  counts  more  heavily  towards  graduation  than  formerly.  Begin- 
ning last  year  the  time  was  extended  to  a  full  six  months,  so  fall  classes  are 
now  resumed  in  early  October.  The  second  year,  students  continue  classes 
for  another  term,  graduating  in  June. 

Athletics  and  other  forms  of  recreation  are  participated  in.  Football, 
basketball,  and  baseball  teams  are  maintained  and  a  schedule  arranged. 
As  yet  we  have  no  varsity  hockey  team  but  class  games  are  played.  This 
year,  for  the  first  time,  our  clubs  were  included  in  the  interfraternity 
basketball  schedule  of  the  college. 

The  Two  Year  students  have  their  own  social  functions.  In  addition, 
they  join  with  the  four  year  students  in  supporting  the  athletic  and  non- 
athletic  activities  of  the  college. 

In  the  Kolony  Klub  and  the  A.  T.  G.  Club  the  male  members  find  all 
the  good  times,  dignity,  and  friendships  which  go  with  such  organizations, 
while  the  women  have  the  S.  C.  S.  to  aid  them  in  their  work.  These  clubs 
all  play  an  important  part  in  creating  a  spirit  of  helpfulness  and  goo^ 
spirit. 

Classes  in  the  short  course  are  conducted  separately  from  those  of 
the  college  course;  a  separate  budget  being  provided  by  the  state,  all 
expenses  being  paid  from  it.  We  enjoy  the  privilege  of  having  college  pro- 
fessors instruct  our  two  year  classes,  and  some  two  year  instructors  handle 
college  classes. 

A  Student  Governing  Body  is  elected,  consisting  of  representatives 
from  both  the  first  and  second  year  classes.  This  group  looks  after  fresh- 
man rules  and  aids  in  maintaining  a  high  standard  of  conduct. 

As  we  the  class  of  1926  leave  Aggie  and  the  Two  Year  Course,  we  wish 
to  express  our  appreciation  to  all  those  who  have  made  our  work  at  the 
college  possible,  and  give  them  our  assurance  that  we  will  prove  the  value 
of  the  course  in  years  to  come  as  other  graduates  are  now  doing.

Many  are  the  good  turns  these  young  ladies  have  done  for  all  of  us._ 
The  Class  of  '26  as  a  whole  takes  this  opportunity   of  showing  thejr 
appreciation  for  the  many  kindnesses  they  have  received  from  them  in 
one  form  or  another. 

Someone  who  has  helped  make  our  path  at  Aggie  a  smoother  one,  we 
wish  to  remember  them  as  our  friends.

OT  such  a  very  long  time  ago,  one  bright  September  day,  we 
found  ourselves  heading  for  Amherst,  a  town  about  which 
many  of  us  knew  little.  Let  that  be  as  it  may,  we  all  succeeded 
in  finding  the  Social  Union  Room,  where  thru  the  able  guidance 
of  Miss  Mercier,  Miss  Martin,  Miss  Schuler  and  others,  our  first 
program  was  made  out. 

After  this  event,  classes  and  the  endeavor  to  keep  a  trouble- 
some freshman  hat  on  became  our  main  difficulties.  Occasionally 
President  Murphy  of  the  Student  Council  would  lecture  on  'Obeying  the 
Rules'  or  Mike  Hartney  would  attempt  to  reap  support  for  the  football 
team,  but  like  all  freshmen  we  were  so  green  that  action  was  a  bit  slow. 
Among  other  things  cam.e  club  and  social  activities.  A  night  on  the 
burning  sands,  was  part  of  initiation  menus  dealt  by  kindly  Seniors. 
Several  Friday  evening  dances  were  held.  Then  came  our  first  stumbling 
block,  the  finals. 

Soon  after  New  Years  found  us  starting  out  on  the  winter  term.  We 
had  become  accustomed  to  the  life  and  were  profitting  greatly.  Frequent 
visits  were  made  to  Mr.  Viets'  office  with  the  result  that  Aggis  was  forsaken 
after  the  winter  term  for  our  period  of  placement  on  a  farm. 

Emerging  from  a  most  beneficial  six  months'  ex-Qerience,  we,  the 
Senior  class  returned  to  Aggie  again,  very  nearly  100%  strong.  As  it 
was  our  turn  to  take  the  initiative  we  organized  at  an  early  date,  electing 
Charley  Parker  to  fill  Chick  Potter's  place  as  President,  Betty  Rowell  to 
again  serve  as  vice-president,  Janet  Whitcomb  to  continue  writing  a  bit 
about  nothing,  and  MacCulloch  to  succeed  Hayden  in  handling  our  cash. 

As  our  predecessors  had  done  to  us,  so  wa  did  to  the  freshmen.  A 
little  advice  now  and  then,  'a  little  razzing'  too.  plus  a  fairly  strict  enforce- 
ment of  the  rules  showed  them  who  we  were.  Starting  with  the  customary 
M.  A.  C.  C.  A.  reception  we  became  acquainted  with  our  frosh.  Then  came 
the  dances.  As  Seniors  we  enjoyed  the  rushing  season  of  the  clubs,  gave 
liberally  of  the  paddle  as  we  had  so  freely  received  it,  and  begged  matches 
and  Life  Savers  to  the  best  of  our  ability.  The  football  season  brought 
another  good  team  on  the  field  captained  by  Ted  Johnson. 

With  the  winter  term  came  another  period  of  study  which  was  helping 
to  round  us  into  trim  for  our  work  after  graduation.  As  sidelights  came 
a  very  successful  Football  dance,  the  usual  ten-week  dances,  and  hops 
sponsored  by  the  A.  T.  G.  and  K.  K.  The  Shorthorn  staff  which  was  well 
under  way  had  us  DOse  for  our  pictures  in  the  'M'  building.  The  basket- 
ball team  captained  by  Hal  Parsons  gave  a  good  account  of  itself.  As  we 
had  done,  the  freshmen  left  us  at  the  close  of  the  term. 

Starting  the  last  lap  of  our  "school  days"  we  felt  somewhat  alone  but 
cur  pride  took  care  of  that.  Now  came  the  baseball  season  which  was 
ours  for  the  first  time,  the  team  headed  by  Ernest  F.  Riley.  Plans 
for  the  coming  events  and  Commencement  exercises  took  up  all  spare  time, 
until  finally  the  term,  which  as  previous  ones  had  flown  quickly,  drew  to  a 
close.  As  all  Seniors  we  were  given  our  certificates  and  cast  out  upon 
the  tidf'  of  life  to  make  a  name  for  ourselves  and  the  short  course  of  old 
M.  A.  C.

Sam  came  to  us  from  Bristol  County  Agricultural

tion. Tliough  young  in  years  Sam  is  no  amateur  at 
growing  the  succulent  vegetable  and  we  can  picture  Mm 
in  the  near  future,  dragging  away  on  a  Camel  while 
telling  the  neophyte  on  Placement  Training  just  how 
it  is  done  in  Bristol  County.  A  quiet  lad  and  an  earnest 
reader  but  when  properly  aroused  we  find  an  inexhaust- 
able  fund  of  stories  at  his  command.

Al  came  with  us  to  study  the  poultry  game  but  very 
early  demonstrated  his  qualities  of  leadership  in  our 
class  activities,  thereby  receiving  the  title  of  Prof,  from 
some  of  the  class  of  1927.  Now  that  he  has  all  the 
tricks  of  the  trade  packed  awa_y  in  his  head  we  know 
that  he  will  be  a  great  benefit  to  the  community  in 
which  he  hangs  out  his  shingle.

Yes,  that 's  our  baby.  A  strong  east  wind  blew  lier  far 
away  from  the  briny  deep  iuto  the  very  settled  agri- 
cultural district  of  Amherst.  We  understand  that  Bessie 
is  an  Home  Ee.  ma,ior  but  somehow  she  is  getting  very 
much  interested  in  ' '  An.  Hus. ' ',  especially  horses.  This 
summer  she  became  very  much  attached  to  some  horses 
in  Vermont  and  we  hear  that  she  is  thinking  of  giving 
up  "life  in  a  cottage  by  the  sea,"'  and  cast  her  lot 
with  her  equine  pets  among  the  hills  of  Vermont.

Audy  is  one  of  our  few  Veg.  Gardening  majors  but 
whether  he  takes  up  this  particular  line  of  business 
after  leaving  college  remains  to  be  seen.  Personally,  we 
believe  that  we  will  be  more  apt  to  tind  him  in  a  roof 
garden  than  a  vegetable  garden.  Wherever  he  goes  or 
Avhatever  he  does  after  leaving  us  we  feel  sure  that  Andy 
will  accomplish  liis  goal  for  tho  quiet  and  unassuming 
around  campus  he  has  evidenced  a  spirit  of  "stick-to- 
ativeness ' '   that  we  all  might  well  copy.

"Doing  nothing  ivith  a  great  deal  of  sl-ill." 

After  graduating  from  New  Salem  Academy,  Apple 
decided  to  come  to  Aggie.  Here  he  soon  found  that 
automobiles  have  hard  bumpers  and  besides  we  didn't 
want  applesauce  anyway.  This  is  one  of  the  few  times 
that  he  has  been  brought  to  earth.  After  passing  the 
rest  of  the  year  more  carefully  he  went  to  the  Brockton 
Producers  Dairy,  there  he  toiled  for  six  long  months 
and  after  returning  to  us  soon  learned  to  shoot  hash 
with  marked  precision.  We  will  not ,  predict  anything 
certain  but  wish  him  the  best  of  luck.

Placement  came  and  with  it  a  change.  He  is  now  a 
rough  and  ready  "Jerry"  with  a  chin  that  needs  shav- 
ing every  other  week.  Has  been  known  to  smoke,  goes 
to  the  movies,  and  takes  in  all  the  dances  but  we  cannot 
get  it  out  of  his  head  that  there  is  a  Santa  Glaus.  Be 
all  this  as  it  may  we  find  Sherrold  a  throughly  likeable 
chap.

North  Abington,  190'7.     Animal  Husbandry. 

It  is  rumored  around  campus  that  Belch  is  one  of 
the  best  little  ladies  men  in  the  far  from  meagre  field 
hereabouts.  As  a  freshman  he  waxed  prosperous  and 
fat  but  Placement  training  in  Lee  returned  him  to  us 
a  mere  skeleton  of  his  former  self,  and  while  he  no  longer 
has  to  pass  the  same  place  twice  in  order  to  cast  a 
shadow  he  is  yet  far  from  being  the  buxom  boy  of  his 
first  year  at  "Aggie."  As  long  as  the  cows  are  Guernseys 
he  will  gladly  arise  at  4  A.  M.  to  attend  to  their  every 
whim  and  if,  in  addition  to  a  herd  of  this  breed,  the 
gods  of  chance  locate  him  where  tliere  is  a  flock  of 
pigeons  also,  Belcher  will  ask  no  more  of  this  life.

Tall,  fair-haired,  with  blue  eyes,  Andy  stalks  to  and 
from  his  abode  but  not  alone  as  a  second  look  will 
reveal  his  abbreviated  shadow,  Al.  Nash.  When  it  comes 
to  driving  Flints  he  seems  to  be  an  authority  on  the 
subject  and  there  is  yet  to  be  a  Prof,  who  can  make 
a  slip  without  a  quick  check-up  from  Andy.  Ask  any 
of  them.  This  lad,  one  of  the  ' '  Eiot  Twins  Inc. ' '  is 
an  ardent  admirer  of  the  30O  egg  hen  and  hopes  to 
have  such  birds  on  his  plant.  Who  knows,  he  may  yet 
put  Peppierell  on  the  map.

3-4-5 ;  Class  Song  Leader ;  Two-Year  Orchestra ; 
Treasurer  A.  T.  G.;  Shorthorn  Staff. 

A  two-year  quartette  was  formed  at  Aggie  for  which 
Brad  was  chosen  tenor,  being  a  successful  basso  with 
a  decided  trait  for  harmony  he  filled  the  capacity  ad- 
mirably. The  Growlers  Quartette  vdW  go  down  in  the 
history  of  the  Two  Year  Course  as  one  of  gi-and  and 
glorious  harmony.  A  social  lion  also  both  ' '  over  the

without  his  smiling  face  and  syncopated  feet.  Do  not

"In  the  college  he's  a  mild  one

Little  did  we  suspect  any  application  of  the  old  song 
to  Brownie  until  Placement  reports  began  to  trickle  in. 
Developing  a  temperament  rivalling  a  Prima  Donna, 
Brownie's  overlord  never  knew  whether  he  would  find 
'"Farmer"  at  work  or  just  hitting  out  for  home. 
Perhaps  the  milk  was  not  from  "contented  cows;"  if 
so  that  is  the  answer.  Always  individual  in  dress  we 
wonder  if  this  individuality  was  the  reason  for  the  eight 
mile  walks  home  from  the  Wianno  Club  dances.

"Pom"  Bummy  and  raise  apples  to  rival  your  cheeks 
and  your  fortune  is  made.  No  mere  cow  can  ever 
aijpreciate  and  be  inspired  by  those  cheeks  as  would 
a  Baldwin  or  a  Mcintosh.  "Bummy"  is  quite  a  loyal 
member  of  the  "keep  yourself  to  yourself"  club  and 
tlio  the  Abbey  and  K.  of  C.  hall  call  to  him  now  and 
then  his  social  complex  is  pretty  well  restrained.

When  ' '  Cupid ' '  struck  campus  it  did  not  take  him

him  for  the  first  time  and  for  two  years  he  has  been 
a  substantial  guaid  and  in  this  his  last  year  he  has 
become  an  ardent  devotee  of  hiking,  clamoring  for  more 
and  bettei'  tramping.  Truly  a  college  "eddication"  is 
:i  wonderful  thing  tho  we  can  hardly  expect  even  that 
to  give  us  the  experience  of  seeing  "Cupid"  mounted

that  Paul  Louis  Burgevin,  after  a  complete  course  in

to  drive  he  got  in  enough  wood  to  last  the  town  for 
years.  The  electric  poles  were  like  magnets  to 
him.  At  present  Stewart's  Ford  rung  finely,  it  hits

on  his  studies  and  rarely  "steps  out."  The  reason  for 
this  is  because  he  is  very  much  interested  in  the  ' '  Old

pressed in  his  mind  by  his  reply  in  class  to  a  question 
regarding  the  intimate  make  up  of  dairy  cattle,  his 
answer  was  a  masterly  description  of  the  "piston 
displacement"  of  a  Holstein-Friesian  cow.  His  "tractor- 
farm,"  as  near  as  we  can  understand  it,  means  buying 
in  a  Case  and  a  Holt  for  foundation  stock  and  raising 
little  Pordsons.     Well,   Fulton  was  laughed  at.

order  to  insure  completing  his  course.  A  doughty  boxer  to 
be  sure  but  his  quiet  manner  successfully  conceals  his  .un- 
doubted ability  in  liis  avocation.  Having  withstood  the 
buffetings  of  unkind  fate  for  two  years  and  never-

cannot  but  predict  a  speedy  and  sur6  success  as  a

A  .sailor's  life  is  wild  and  free,  with  a  girl  in  every 
I  port.  "Its  wild  all  right,"  says  "Jerry",  but  the  free 
stuff  was  out  aboard  the  good  ship  Nantucket.  So  he 
for.sook  the  navy  and  came  to  Aggie.  He  surely  showed 
rare  judgement  in  picking  his  major,  for  Horticulture 
is  a  vocation  wliicji  does  not  call  for  early  rising  and 
how  he  loves  his  bed  o 'mornings.  This  may  be  warranted 
by  his  frequent  visits  to  "  Tlie  Abby"  where  this  dashing 
"Carl  Campus"  is  always  welcomed.  With  demon-

He  is  already  on  the  road  to  success  as  he  has  sold  one

of  his  own  orchard.  He  has  a  fiery  disposition  and  a

"Andy"  is  one  of  our  old  stand-by's — one  who  puts 
liis  Avhole  heart  and  energy  into  every  thing  that  he 
attempts.  "Andy"  likes  nothing  better  than  to  go  out

and  receive  a  dozen  or  so  broken  ribs  as  long  as  he  is 
doing  what  Red  said  to  do  and  is  "getting  his  man." 
Women  do  not  interest  "Andy,"  at  least  we  have  no 
evidence  that  they  do. 

' '  Andy  's ' '  pet  sayings  are  ' '  Hey  Buddy  ' '  and  ' '  Bend

ball candidates,  thus  the  last  saying  is  explained. 
' '  And}' ' '  expects  to  go  out  for  baseball  himself  you

This  fellow  spends  most  of  his  time  either  up  at  the

A  man  of  experience,  one  who  has  traveled  consiijerably, 
he  knows  the  ways  of  the  world  better  than  many  of  us. 
In  the  musical  line  just  speak  to  him,  for  whether  it 
be  a  banjo  or  a  Jew's  harp  it's  all  the  same. 

He  must  be  good  as  an  orchardist  for  he  went  all  the 
way  to   Maryland  for  his   farm  placement  training. 

We  wonder  why  he  so  often  elects  to  leave 
.\ndierst  to  spend  the  weekends  elsewhere.  This  is  none

We  are  sorry  to  say  that  Amherst  presents  none  of

the  west,  but  the  Chevrolet  company  has  done  wonders 
in  assembling  a  car  which  so  highly  satisfies  the  needs 
of  such  a  famous  horseman,  cow  puncher,  and  bronco 
buster  as  Duke.  As  an  aid  to  all  our  friends,  we  feel 
sure  that  he  is  the  best  authority  on  which  one  of  the 
Xew  England  standard  nine  is  best  to  use  for  the 
liiopagation  of  a  cover  crop  on  the  upper  lip.  His

if  you  have  any  problem  weighing  on  your  mind,  whether 
it  be  of  local  or  world-wide  interest,  the  solution  will

he   never   fails.

to  sit  down  in  the  middle  of  a  quarter  of  section  planted

members the  ' '  only  one ' '  back  home.  This  has  been

About  the  "Pomuiiest"  of  our  Pomology  majors  is 
Bill.  Not  content  with  starting  his  placement  training 
before  the  end  of  his  freshman  term  Bill  extended  his 
practical  experience  long  past  the  date,  the  tlioughts  of 
which  kept  most  of  us  going  while  demonstrating  our 
practical  worth.  As  an  inspector  of  apples  for  the  State 
William  became  a  traveled,  broadly  experienced  po- 
mologist  so  can  we  question  his  positive  statements  in 
class  or  is  it  to  be  wondered  at  that  we  designate  him 
as  our  "Pommiest"  Pomology  major.

which  might  take  him  back  there  after  graduation.  Upon 
no  consideration  does  Dick  believe  in  getting  up  before 
breakfast  and  this  is  why  his  three  chapel  cuts  are  al-

with  one  idea — ^Success.  He  gave  up  selling  shoes  in  the

we  '11  tell  you  one  or  two  of  his  adventures  during  the

ask  him.  With  a  hockey  stick  he  is  pretty  keen,  but 
candidly  admits  that,  "Football  is  no  game  for  him." 
We  all  hope  that  Frankie  does  not  take  too  many  cuts 
after  he  gets  on  his  own  beef  ranch.  The  best  of

unknown  to  him.  An  apt  scholar,  a  quick  thinker,  so 
true  of  the  Celtic  type,  he  is  well  liked  by  all  who  know

THE     OPEN     DOOR 

A  Mournful  Ballard  of  Bygone  Days 
As  sung  bij  Bessie  Ames 
There  was  a  place  we  used  to  know — 
At  M.  A.  C.  not  long  ago, 

When  nights  were  damp — or  nights  were  chill 
We  used  to  wander  up  the  hill. 
A  shadow  loomed  up  in  the  dark 
And  said,  "Here,  kids,  come  in  and  park." 

Chorus 
Three  nights  a  week — or  more — or  less 
I  used  to  walk  up  there  with  Wess, 
We'd  laugh  and  talk  a  while  and  then 
We'd  laugh  and  talk  some  more  again — 
We'd  stay  till  ten  o'clock  or  more 
Oh !   How  I  miss  the  "Open  Door." 

Gone  are  the  days — those  open  doors 
Have  slammed  ker-bang  forevermore, 
Micro,  Chapel,  Fernald  Hall, 
A  cruel  hand  has  closed  them  all. 
Now  cold  nights  in  the  sleet  and  snow 
We  up  the  lane  to  Cushman  go. 

Chorus 
Three  nights  a  week — or  more — or  less 
I  used  to  walk  there  with  Wess, 
We'd  laugh  and  talk  a  while  and  then 
We'd  laugh  and  talk  some  more  again — 
We'd  stay  till  ten  o'clock  or  more 
Oh !   How  I  miss  the  'Open  Door."

From  the  Diary  of  A  Shorthorn  Brave. 
(Ed.  note — Meaning  a  fresh  Freshman.) 

The  signal  smokes  from  the  surrounding  hills  sent  out  the  message 
which  caused  the  gathering  of  the  various  members  of  the  povi^erful  tribe 
of  infant  "Shorthorns"  on  the  camping  grounds  at  M.  A.  C. 

The  incoming  members  of  the  tribe  located  their  wigwams  and  soon 
were  seen  around  the  encampment  wearing  the  headdress  of  a  tenderfoot. 
Tho  weak  in  strength  the  members  of  the  tribe  presented  an  impressive 
sight  as  they  over  ran  the  "Heap  Big  Hash"  tepee  eagerly  searching 
for  food. 

Around  their  first  camp  fire  the  young  bucks  and  maidens  selected 
their  chief  tans  for  their  stay  in  camp.  A  ceremonial  dance  was  soon  given 
by  the  "Shorthorn  Braves"  in  honor  of  the  presence  of  the  tenderfeet 
in  camp.  The  first  great  trial  came  when  one  of  the  "Medicine  Men"  gave 
us  a  test  of  mental  strength  requiring  the  remembering  of  many  ex- 
periences. 

Many  wishing  to  become  classed  as  "Braves"  tried  out  their  strength 
in  games  and  some  few  were  quite  successful  in  their  contests. 

Many  more  ceremonial  dances  were  held  and  numerous  tests  were 
given  the  tribe  by  the  "Medicine  Men."  Nearly  all  survived  these  ordeals, 
and  worked  faithfully  toward  reaching  their  goal  of  being  classed  as  braves. 

At  the  end  of  the  third  moon  the  young  bucks  and  maidens  gathered 
their  blankets  around  them  and  spread  out  over  the  great  hunting  ground 
to  pass  the  final  t3st  which  all  must  pass  before  being  raised  to  a  "Short- 
horn Brave."

The  Student  Council,  the  elected  governing  body  of  the  students  and 
their  representatives  before  the  faculty,  heartily  commends  the  high  morale 
and  tolerance  of  the  student  body  in  their  problems  of  college  life  and 
activities. 

It  is  notev^'orthy  that  individually  as  well  as  collectively  standards 
have  been  maintained  that  hold  great  promise  for  the  coming  years.

hartal  (Unmmttt?? 


The  fii-st  dance,  held  shortly  after  the  opening  of  the  Fall  term,  was 
v.ell  attended  and  the  floor  was  taxed  to  its  limit.  The  freshmen,  to  whom 
the  dance  was  given,  entered  into  the  spirit  of  the  occasion  with  a  zest 
that  assures  their  dances  next  year  to  be  very  popular.  Although  the 
ladies  were  outnumbered  2  to  1  still  it  was  felt  that  "a  good  time  was 
had  by  all." 

In  January,  a  reception  and  dance  was  given  to  the  Winter  School 
group  and  many  new  acquaintances  were  made.  We  were  honored  by  the 
presence  of  Acting  President  Lewis  whose  welcome  hand  and  cheery  smile 
made  the  "short"  short-coursers  feel  right  at  home. 

The  football  dance,  at  which  sweaters  were  presented  to  the  warriors. 
was  very  successful  from  all  standpoints.  Director  Verbeck  not  only  made 
the  presentations  but  offered  his  efforts  as  a  movie  camera-man  with  a 
picture  of  the  2-year — 4-year  Frosh  game  and  "shots"  taken  in  various 
courses  of  required  work.  The  hearty  approval  manifested  of  them  must 
have  been  very  gratifying  to  him  for  it  not  only  proved  his  success  as  a 
"news-man"  but  showed  his  effort  to  make  the  2-year  course  a  more  virile 
one  by  establishinr;'  a  living  library. 

The  committee  takes  this  opportunity  to  thank  the  student  body  for 
their  helpful  suggestions  and  splendid  co-operation  as  well  as  members  of 
the  faculty  who  so  graciously  served  as  chaperones.

DRAMATIC  CLUB 

One  of  the  early  organizations  of  the  Two  Year  Course  was  the 
Dramatic  Club,  organized  in  January  1923.  It  has  been  well  supported 
and  has  had  a  remarkable  career. 

Every  June  the  Seniors  have  put  on  a  professional  play  for  commence- 
ment. During  the  winter  term  several  one-act  plays  are  given  to  aid  in 
preparing  the  students  for  the  commencement  show. 

Previously  the  Dramatic  Club  activities  have  been  supported  jointly 
by  the  receipts  at  commencement  and  a  special  fund.  As  this  fund  is  no 
longer  available,  and  to  assure  a  strong  financial  status,  the  classes  voted 
this  year  to  permanently  establish  a  fee  of  fifty  cents  per  term  for  each 
individual.  This  wall  pay  all  the  general  expenses-  and  any  extra  receipts 
will  be  used  for  new  scenery  and  other  necessaries.  Under  the  new  plan 
each  freshman  receives  three  and  each  senior  four  complimentary  tickets 
to  the  commencement  paly. 

This  year  the  club  also  voted  to  have  a  Dramatic  Club  Manager  to 
attend  to  all  the  general  management  of  the  organization. 

Splendid  support  has  been  given  the  club  by  the  freshmen  and  we  are 
assured  that  they  will  carry  it  on  with  even  greater  success  than  it  has 
experienced  before.

IftHtnrti  of  tlt^  (Emu  f ^ar  Clubs 

The  Two  Year  students  early  felt  the  need  of  sorhe  organization  to 
draw  them  together  for  companionship  and  social  inspirations.  With  this 
end  in  view  two  clubs  were  organized  among  the  men  and  one  among 
the  w^omen. 

Both  men's  clubs,  the  Alpha  Tau  Gamma  Club  and  the  Kolony  Klub 
were  organized  in  1919.  They  started  as  merely  social  organizations  but 
they  have  developed  into  really  something  more : — into  fraternal  bodies 
with  a  keen  sense  of  loyalty  and  responsibility.  Class  spirit  has  been 
aroused  and  inter-club  activities  are  carried  on.  The  Kolony  Club  pur- 
chased a  house  on  Pleasant  street  and  this  affords  a  splendid  headquarters 
for  their  group,  many  of  the  member  residing  there.  The  A.  T.  G.  Club 
make  the  entire  top  floor  of  North  College  their  rendezvous.  Here  some 
twenty  members  reside,  and  the  club  holds  its  meetings. 

The  women  students  also  formed  a  society  known  as  the  Alpha  Sigma 
Delta,  but  this  was  reorganized  in  1921.  It  is  now  known  as  the  S.  C.  S., 
due  to  the  fact  that  Greek  letter  Sororities  are  not  allowed  in  state  institu- 
tions. Just  a  social  club  at  the  start,  but  this  year  the  girls  have  taken  on 
responsibilities  of  a  more  serious  nature. 

The  clubs  thus  far  have  fulfilled  the  needs  for  which  they  were  created, 
and  we  hope  that  they  will  be  of  a  great  value  to  the  following  classes  as 
they  have  been  to  us.

FOOTBALL  TEAM 

As  the  Extension  of  our  Placement  Training  period  gave  us  only  one 
week  to  prepare  for  our  first  game  October  12,  Coach  Ball  sent  out  a  call 
for  material  to  report  a  week  early  with  a  response  which  was  very  grati- 
fying as  we  had  two  full  squads  out  for  practice  at  the  opening  of  school. 
As  Captain  Davis  and  Manager  Cree  did  not  return  to  school,  elections  were 
held  and  Johnson  and  Sawyer  were  chosen  to  fill  the  respective  positions  of 
responsibility,  which  they  did  most  admirably. 

DALTON  6— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  8 
This  was  our  first  real  game  as  the  score  evidences  and  although 
Dalton  scored  first,  Kelley,  later  in  the  game  broke  through  their  center 
and  ran  40  yards  for  a  touchdown,  tying  the  score.  From  this  point  on 
the  steady  brand  of  football  played  by  both  teams  prevented  further 
scoring. 

SPRINGFIELD  COMMERCE  0— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  12 
Previous  to  this  game  the  word  had  been  passed  around  in  Springfield 
that  we  were  to  furnish  Commerce  a  practice  scrimmage.  So  it  was  but 
not  for  them  as  we  scored  one  touchdown  as  the  result  of  a  sustained  70-yd. 
march  down  the  field  and  followed  with  a  well  executed  forward  pass  which 
netted  us  our  second  goal. 

M.  A.C.    FRESHMEN    7— M.  A.  C.    2-yr.  16 
A  game  to  go  down  in  history,  truly.     As  the  first  victory  ever  won 
by  a  Two-Year  team  over  the  Freshmen  and  also  as  we  have  a  permanent 
record  of  the  high  spots  in  the  games,  thanks  to  the  Two-Year  moving- 

76 


picture  camera.    Our  first  point  was  made  on  a  safety  which  was  quickly 
followed  by  a  touchdown,  by  the  freshmen  and  things  looked  black  but 
responding  to  the  cheers  of  the  enthusiastic  crowd  the  Two-Year  team 
pushed  over  two  touchdowns  in  the  last  minutes  of  the  game. 
VERMONT   ACADEMY  20— M.  A.  C.   2-yr   13 

This  was  a  sightseeing  trip  followed  by  a  game.  The  opposftion 
afforded  us  was  not  strong  and  the  only  reason  that  the  score  was  not 
larger  was  because  of  loose  handling  of  the  ball  which  however  did  not 
prove  at  all  costly. 

DRURY   HIGH   14— M.  A.  C.   2-yr.    0 

Our  first  defeat,  but  at  the  hands  of  a  strong  well  coached  team. 
Altho  hahdicapped  by  the  loss  of  Kelly  and  Ryan  through  injuries  Drury 
found  our  line  mighty  hard  to  penetrate,  it  being  their  superior  speed  in 
the  backfield  which  carried  them  to  victory. 

CONN.  AGGIE  FRESHMEN  8— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  0 

This  was  the  hardest  game  to  lose  of  the  three  which  went  against  us. 
Forced  to  play  on  a  field  literally  under  water  the  breaks  were  against 
us  as  they  contributed  materially  both  to  the  touchdown  and  safety  which 
were  scored  against  us.  The  fact  that  we  made  20  first  downs  to  their 
one  shows  that  the  breaks,  not  playing  beat  us. 

DEERFIELD  ACADEMY  21— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  13 

A  fighting  Two-Year  team  went  down  to  defeat  in  their  last  game 
of  the  season.  Behind  by  a  score  of  21 — 0  at  the  end  of  the  third  period 
the  team  came  back  and  Johnson  and  Kelly  pushed  the  ball  over  for  touch- 
downs. This  team  was  the  only  one  to  score  at  first  down  against  us  during 
the  season  which  speaks  well  of  our  line ;  which  was  made  up  as  follows : 
L.  E.  Burrill,  (Capt.  elect)  ;  L.  T.  Caffery;  L.  G.  Burgevin;  C.  Lovejoy; 
R.  G.  Shelnut;  R.  T.  Ryan;  R.  E.  Viale,  with  a  hard  hitting  backfield  be- 
hind it;  namely  Q.  B.  Truelson;  R.  H.  B.  Tribe;  and  Massa;  L.  H.  B.  John- 
son, (Captain)  ;  F.  B.  Kelley. 

No  little  part  in  the  success  of  this  season  was  contributed  by  Manager 
"Rollie"  Sawyer  who  gave  of  his  time  unstintingly  and  cheerfully  and  at 
all  times  could  be  depended  upon  to  be  where  he  was  wanted  and  needed.

BASKETBALL 
Captain,  Harold  Parsons.  Manager,  Roland  W.  Sawyer. 

The  basketball  season  started  with  about  30  candidates  out  for  the 
team,  and  after  playing  several  interclass  games,  daily  practice  began  soon 
after  the  Christmas  vacation.  Under  the  coaching  of  Red  Ball  the  team 
gave  a  good  account  of  itself.  A  summary  of  the  games  foUov^'s : — 
Hopkins  Academy  14— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  12. 
A  tough  beginning  to  lose  by  one  basket,  but  it  showed  up  our  weak 
points  which  was  a  great  help. 

Turner's  Falls  H.  S.  12— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  23 
This  was  rather  a  fast  game  and  our  offense  had  increased  appreci- 
ably since  the  Hopkins'  game.     The  guards  played  well  and  West  scored 
10  points  for  the  Shorthorns. 

Arms  Academy  15— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  40 
The  first  game  away  from  home,  the  team  certainly  made  good  as 
the  score  indicates.    Although  Arms  scored  first  it  made  little  difference, 
for  Holland,  our  star  forward  came  through  with  26  points. 
Amherst  H.  S.  13— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  20. 
Victory  was  sweet,  for  here  was  a  team  that  had  never  been  beaten 
by  Shorthorns.    It  was  anybody's  game  until  the  final  whistle,  close  guard- 
ing by  both  teams  being  the  outstanding  feature.    Holland,  West,  and  Ryan 
did  the  scoring  for  the  2-yr. 

St.  Josephs  20— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  18 
Way  up  in  Pittsfield,  this  was  the  closest  game  of  the  year,  requiring 
an  overtime  period  to  decide  it.     Capt.  Parsons  did  some  excellent  guard- 

78 


ing,  while  Ryan  and  Viale,  both  graduates  of  St.  Josephs,  played  well. 
The  team  certainly  will  remember  this  game. 

Sacred  Heart  32— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  17. 

A  heart  breaker  from  start  to  finish,  with  an  inexperienced  referee, 
the  team  was  greatly  handicapped.  Holland,  our  star  forward,  was  put 
out  via  the  foul  route  in  the  first  few  minutes  of  play,  and  Massa  our  hard 
playing  utility  man  played  an  excellent  game  in  his  place. 

Northampton  Commercial  College  18 — M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  24 

After  playing  on  foreign  floors  for  several  games  this  team  was  met 
in  the  Drrill  Hall.  It  was  an  exceptionally  good  game,  Holland  scored 
13  points. 

Drury  H.  S.  34— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  14 

This  trip  to  No.  Adams  will  be  a  landmark  in  the  memories  of  those 
who  made  it.  With  plenty  of  snow  we  rode  about  175  miles  to  go  75,  and 
did  not  arrive  until  five  minutes  before  the  game.  While  in  poor  condition 
to  play,  this  championship  team  did  not  completely  squelch  us.  Holland 
did  all  the  scoring  for  the  2-yrs. 

Clark  School  37— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  33 

Arriving  back  from  Drury  at  1  A.  M.  the  team  played  a  good  game 
with  Clark  that  same  night.     As  the  coach  was  away  Andy  Massa  took 
charge  of  the  team.    Ryan  was  high  scorer  despite  an  injured  hand. 
Arlington  H.  S.  9— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  36. 

Having  traveled  a  good  many  miles  after  playing  the  night  before, 
Arlington  did  not  show  up  their  best  against  us.  The  whole  squad  got 
into  this  game  and  gave  a  good  account  of  itself. 

Holyoke  H.  S.  21— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  13. 

Although  we  lost,  out  team  showed  up  well  against  this  outfit  which 
clinched  the  championship  of  western  Massachusetts. 
Cathedral  H.  S.  5— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  13. 

Defensive  play  won  this  game  for  the  farmers  for  they  allowed  the 
Parochial  league  champs  but  two  baskets  from  the  floor.  Holland  secured 
8  of  our  points. 

Greenfield  H.  S.  6— M.  A.  C.  2-yr.  14. 

Due  to  ineligibility.  West  was  unable  to  play  this  contest,  so  Dutch 
Holland  was  shifted  to  center  and  Massa  went  in  forward.  The  change  in 
lineup  and  a  strange  floor  could  not  hold  a  good  team  down.  Holland 
scored  all  the  points. 

The  season  ended  with  this  game  witch  made  a  total  of  13  games 
played  with  8  wins  and  5  losses.  Probably  this  has  been  the  most  success- 
ful season  that  a  Two  Year  basketball  club  has  ever  experienced.  The  team 
owes  its  success  to  its  coach  "Red"  Ball,  whose  careful  work  showed  itself 
throughout  the  season.  The  letter  men  elected  Holland  captain  for  next 
year  and  Felton  manager.

As  soon  as  the  basketball  season  had  closed  candidates  foi-  battery 
started  practice  in  the  Drill  Hall,  coached  by  George  Shumway.  The  man- 
ager called  out  the  whole  squad  at  the  opening  of  the  spring  term,  about 
30  reporting. 

The  season  started  with  a  game  at  Greenfield.  They  triumphed  3  to  2 
after  a  close  game  which  went  11  innings.  Our  battery  was,  Clark  pitcher, 
and  McCloskey  catcher.  The  whole  team  showed  up  well,  there  being  no 
errors  made.    Massa's  and  Riley's  playing  was  outstanding  for  the  2-years. 

Belchertown  was  next  encountered  on  the  home  field,  a  very  poor 
exhibition  of  loose  ball  was  given  by  our  men.  The  score  resulted  in  a 
10  to  4  victory  for  the  visitors.  Tribe  sprained  his  ankle  but  finished  the 
game  out. 

A  journey  to  the  other  end  of  the  town  was  next  in  order,  where  the 
Amherst  frosh  were  taken  on.  This  game  was  featured  by  hard  hitting  by 
both  teams,  but  timely  hits  by  Amherst  and  several  costly  errors  gave 
the  Lord  Jeff's  a  9  to  3  win.  There  were  men  enough  left  on  bases  to  even 
the  score,  but  the  hits  to  make  them  count  never  came. 

This  same  weekend  the  Aggie  freshmen  were  played.  Although  out- 
hit  by  the  2-years,  loose  pitching  and  several  scattered  hits  at  opportune 
moments  gave  them  a  victory  by  the  score  of  10  to  3.  Sawyer  injured  his 
hand  in  the  first  inning  and  was  replaced  by  Truelson,  who  caught  the 
remainder  of  the  game. 

The  following  are  the  games  scheduled  for  the  rest  of  the  season,  and 
it  is  hoped  that  the  team  will  show  up  better  than  in  previous  contests.

GRAY'S  ELEGY  IN    THE  M.  A.  C.    CHURCHYARD 

Here  lies  Benny,  sad  to  say 

At  M.  A.  C.  he  passed  away 

In  delirium  he  was  heard  to  state — 

She  m-m-must've  1-laid  b-bout  n-ninety-eight ! 

Poor  Elisabeth  she  is  dead 
A  gravestone  up  above  her  head 
There  comes  a  tear  to  every  eye 
As  we  look  at  the  stone — and  Cy. 

In  this  grave  lies  little  Nash 
He  died  from  something  he  ate  at  Hash 
Up  or  down?    In  which  direction 
Went  the  "Standard  of  Perfection?" 

'Neath  this  stone  so  warm  and  cozy 
With  plenty  of  time  to  dream, 
Sleeping  sweetly  is  poor  Rosie — 
In  dairy  lab.  we  made  ice  cream. 

We  miss  Sarah  heaps  and  heaps 
As  underneath  this  rock  she  sleeps 
Her  thoughts  and  deeds  so  kind  they  were 
That  even  a  cow  once  fell  for  her. 

He  is  gone — we  must  confess 
We  all  will  sure  miss  Wesley  Hess 
Bessie's  sandwiches  gave  him  a  spasm 
And  now  he's  only  protoplasm. 

By  this  stone  we  pause  and  sigh 
For  underneath  friend  'Apel'  lies 
The  highway  broad  he  tried  to  cross 
An  auto  hit  him — Applesauce. 

Among  these  stones  with  countless  names 
We  see  that  of  Bessie  Ames 
To  the  pond  she  went  to  skate 
"Open  loide  ye  golden  gate!" 

— Helen  Wood

Nearly  every  student  raised  his  hand.

"FAT" 

Who  is  it  in  our  blooming  class — 
Whose  greatness  ever  will  surpass — 
All  other  men  of  great  renown  ? 
Why,  "Fat" — the  biggest  man  in  town! 

Who  is  it  needs  to  have  two  seats — - 
To  sit  in,  when  our  chapel  meets — 
And  three  strong  men  to  wedge  him  down? 
Why,  "Fat" — the  biggest  boy  in  town! 

Who  was  it,  on  the  team,  they  say — 
He  sat  on  men  and  held  them  down — 
Who? — "Fat,"  the  biggest  man  in  town! 

— Helen  Wood 

"Zoo-Zoo"  says,  that — Bennie  doesn't  like  to  go  to  the  hen  house  atone 
(he  is  afraid  the  hens  are  laying  for  him). 

A  certain  morning  in  chapel — ■ 

Mr.  Verbeck — "Mr.  Riley,  could  you  tell  what  your  prospects  are  on 
the  game  with  Belchertown.     Do  you  know  what  the  pickings  are?" 
Riley — "Ask  Tribe,  he  can  tell  you  all  about  it." 

From  an  AN.  HUS.  man — Now  what  breed  of  apples  are  these? 
Digit — "My  squaw  in  your  wigwam?" 
Whoopadiddie — "Keep  away  from  those  swinging  doors." 
McCulloch  goes  over  the  mountain — "I  want  a  kiss  please?    You  see 
I  have  never  kissed  a  girl  before." 

She — "Well,  this  is  no  Agricultural  Experiment  Station." 

Cooperation 

Miss  Pulley  designs  the  trapnests  and  Mr.  Pushee  makes  them. 

The  theory  of  it  is — No  Pushee, — No  Pulley, — No  eggs ! 

Edith  (working  on  greenhouse  problem) — "Betty,  about  how  much 
do  you  think  hose  costs?" 

Betty  (looking  through  Sunday  paper) — "At  Jordan  Marsh's  they 
have  all  silk  Onyx  for  $2.50." 

Edith — "Oh  what  a  help  you  are!"

Here's  A  Way  to  Make  Money 

After  Graduation 

In  Your  Own  College  Town 

TAKE  this  Flower  Shop  at  Wellesley,  Mass.,  for  example.   It 
is  located  handy  by,  just  outside  the  college  grounds. 
It  wasn't  so  long  ago  that  all  there  was  to  it  was  a  plain  little 
frame  building,  with  some  rather  diminutive  green-house'?  latched 

to  It. 

Now  the  shop  is  a  most  attractive  brick  building,  with  up  to 
date  greenhouses,  and  this  show  house  opening  right  off  it. 

You  should  see  the  way  the  college  girls  come  here  and  buy 
flowers!  Christmas  and  Easter  week,  the  Western  Union  brings  a 
private  wire  right  into  the  shop,  and  has  an  operator  on  the  job 
to  take  the  Florist  Telegraph  Delivery  orders  that  come  from 
parents  and  friends,  for  flowers  to  the  girls. 

From  one  of  his  rose  houses  alone,  this  man  took  $9,000  last  year. 

Doesn't  all  this  start  you  thinking? 

Man  alive,  where  is  there  a  business  as  healthy,  fun-filled  and 
profit  yielding? 

Just  the  kind  that  to-be- wife-of  yours  would  like. 

Had  you  ever  stopped  to  think  how  many  graduates  are  going 
into  the  greenhouse  flower  growing  or  shop  business? 

Hadn't  we  better  start  in  getting  acquainted  so  you  can  have  the 
facts.  Write  us. 

Ask  us  the  hundred  and  one  questions  you  have  on  your  mind. 


If  interested  write  to  the  Manager  of  our  Serv- 
ice Department,  30  E.  42nd  Slrect,  New  York 
City,  wlio  will  give  it  his  personal  attention.

MONEY   MAKERS 
FOR  THE  GROWER 

A  Bean  makes  money  and  saves  money 
for  the  grower  every  spraying  L'ay  in  the  year. 
It  makes  money  by  delivering  continuous 
trouble-free  service  day  in  and  day  out  straight 
thru  the  spraying  season,  insuring  rapid  thoro 
work,  clean  trees,  big  production,  and  clean 
fancy  fruit — the  kind  that  enjoys  the  best 
market  and  brings  the  top  price. 

Low-Cost  operation 

It  saves  money  by  its  simple,  sturdy  con- 
struction, freedom  from  mechanical  troublrs, 
the  ease  with  which  the  grower  can  make  my 
necessary  repairs  or  adjustments,  and  the  fact 
that  any  parts  that  become  worn  after  years 
of  hard  service  may  be  quickly,  easily,  and 
cheaply  replaced. 

Long  years  of  good  service  —  long  years  of 
low'cosi  semice  —  these  make  a  Bean  the  best 
sprayer  Investment  for  any  grower. 

Good  Service  Everywhere 

We  build  a  complete  line  of  hand  and 
power  sprayers  and  offer  the  best  possible 
service  thru  two  complete  factories  (Lansing, 
Michigan,  and  Snn  Jose,  California)  ;  a  com- 
plete stock  of  parts  at  many  important  cen- 
ters :  and  dealers  everywhere.
