In the arrangement of this year-book, the second of its kind, we have attempted to follow the excellent example set for us by the Shorthorn of 1921. It is our earnest hope that the next class will be able to do better than we have done, for by such means the traditions, customs and ideals of the older classes are perpetuated, added to and improved upon for the betterment of the new classes. The Two- Year Course is well established, but still in its infancy, and anything helping to lend it dignity cannot fail to make it more widely appreciated.

Jlisitorp of tlje l^Ujogear Coursie
at Massachusetts Slgricultural College
In May, 1917, both houses of the legislature of the Commonwealth passed a resolution known as Senate No. 374, relative to the establishment of the Two- Year Course in practical agriculture at the Massachusetts Agricultural College. The resolution is as follows:
"Resolved, That in the opinion of the general court there should be estab- lished at the Massachusetts Agricultural College a two years' course in practical agriculture upon the completion of which certificates of graduation should be granted, that the course should be opened to all residents of the Commonwealth who have attained the age of seventeen years and who possess the educational qualifications necessary for adm.ission to any public high school of the Common- wealth."
At a meeting of the trustees held soon afterward, it was voted to carry out in letter and in spirit the resolution of the Massachusetts Legislature. Accord- ingly, the first term of the Two-Year Course was offered in December, 1917. The first course of study was uniform for all students. The work of the first year consisted of six months' study at the college followed by six months of farm practice on selected farms in the state. The second year called for nine months of resident study. In 1921 the Two-Year Course was reorgainzed in order that greater opportunity be given for specialization. There are now seven major lines of work; animal husbandry, dairy manufactures, floriculture, horticulture, pomology, poultry and vegetable gardening.
The organization of short courses in agricultural colleges is not a new de- parture in the service these institutions are rendering in the several states. Thirty-six of the forty-eight agricultural colleges offer one or two year short courses. Among these colleges are numbered some of the most powerful agricul- tural institutions. That the establishment of the Two-Year Course met a real demand is shown by the enrollment during the past few years. The number has varied and will vary from year to year. The attendance in the past has been from 275 to 325 students. There are now 285 graduates of this course.
The Two-Year Course is so administered that it is a school in itself. Separate classes are maintained for the Two-Year students in order that the instruction may be adapted to the group and the fundamental principles of the course be maintained. In the employment of instructors it has been the policy of the institution to secure men of college grade who teach all classes and groups of
11
students in the institution. Though paid from short course funds they do not comprise a separate staff. The Two-Year Course is distinctly vocational in its nature. Its purpose is to train men to farm profitably and to live happily in Massachusetts rural communities.
From the inception of the course, provision has been made for the athletic, social and recreational needs of the students. The first step was the engagement of a coach, "Em" Grayson, who has developed baseball, football, basketball and track activities. Three clubs, the Kolony Klub, the A. T. G. and the S. C. S. meet the social needs of the life of the student body. A beginning has been made in dramatics by the presentation of class plays and the organization of the dramatic club.
The Two-Year Course has ceased to be an experiment, it is now an established organization. In the organization and development of the course much credit is due to the Two-Year student councils of this and previous years. In leader- ship, in development of morale, in good sense and judgment, this group of men have been always dependable.
In conclusion may I take this opportunity of a formal expression of appre- ciation of the loyalty and cooperation of the class of 1923. They leave behind an enviable record of achievement.

l^i^toxv of ^Ije Class; of 1923
When the prospective graduates of the class of '23, the fourth Two- Year class, first congregated on this campus, we found a well-established organization waiting to receive us. Our numbers were one hundred and fifty-five, five being of the fairer sex.
Following the opening Assembly we were gathered in well-remembered Room "F", French Hall, where the Student Council members from the Senior class explained the purpose and workings of their organization and helped us to elect temporary officers. These were William F. Mulhern, President; Frederick W. Marshall, Vice-President; Beatrice B. Kleyla, Secretary; and John S. Arm- strong, Treasurer. Harold N. Bacon was elected chairman of the constitutional committee, and immediately began to draw up our covenant of government. Representatives to the Council for the first term were: Rivet, Merrifield, Scribner and McCarthy.
Various college activities soon absorbed our interest. Football drew a large number, and several hard fought games were played.
About the middle of the first term permanent class officers were chosen to serve for one year. These were : John S. Armstrong, President; Everett B. Wood- ward, Vice-President; Beatrice B. Kleyla, Secretary; and Paul F. Swanson Treasurer.
The winter term saw the height of the social season. Several dances were held in the Memorial Hall, and all voted them a success. An attempt was made to form a hockey team, but lack of ice and equipment proved to be insuperable obstacles. A few found diversion and an outlet for success energy on the basket- ball team, which had a long and formidable schedule. .
Late in March we scattered to our farm placement jobs and heard very little from one another until fall, when the joyful return occurred.
With football, classes, dances and good times generally where old friendships were renewed and new ones formed, the fall passed swiftly and happily. The new class entered into the spirit of things enthusiastically, and their wiUing co-opera- tion with us made possible a very pleasant interchange of dances.
In November class elections were again due, but the class refused to consider new faces in office, re-electing the entire executive group of the first year.
30
The winter term passed rapidly, altho the heavy snow-fall kept us close to the campus, and almost before we knew it the Junior class had departed for their farm training. In this class we feel sure we have a worthy successor and a group that will carry on and improve the customs and ideals of the course.
How time has flown this spring! Baseball, dramatics, commencement plans, etc., have consumed the time of many. A highly successful baseball season was enjoyed. Out of eleven games played the team won seven, Deerfield alone getting away with better than an even break.
The dramatic club was constantly busy with rehearsals, the success of which is well attested by the favorable reception of the play "Caste" at the commence- ment exercises.
The commencement exercises were well attended by parents, relatives and friends, all of whom seemed to enjoy the campus and the activities.
Ninety-eight of us received our certificates, and are now ready, supposedly, to take the world by its horns and wrest a living from it. We cannot fail to have benefitted from the instruction and training received here, and it is to be |hoped that we will not forget the institution nor one another, and that, as the years go by, we may occasionally return to renew the memories of these happy days.

"Come one, come all' Ihig rock shall fly From lis firm base as soon as I."
Manj' and varied have been the activities of this sterling youth in his two years here. He first rose to prominence on the football field, but soon appeared in about every activity on the campus. "Jinks" has a great weakness — <leer hunting, — both kinds. He can be found most any evening at one of the local ballrooms and when it was open season on the other variety, he cleared out for the wilds of his home state bringing back a handsome buck as a samjile of his prowess. However, he has found sufficient time to acquire considerable knowledge and shruld make a very capable chambermaid to the milk jifoducing bovines.

"Speech is siluer, but silence is golden."
At the time of falling leaves and sweet cider in the year 1921, Frank's smiUng countenance was first seen around the poultry plant. Being an Animal Hu.sbandry major he decided the second year to keep away from the chickens, because he didn't want to make the cows jealous. Ask Frank about his find, during his farm placement training. He will reply, she is quite the berries. He has already secured a job in the same locality. We are sure Frank will make good although many of us envy him for his drag with the Profs, here at the college.

We'll bet the little home town steps aroimd and opens its sleepy eyes when "old man Allen's son" arrives for a spell. "Al" is happiest when telling the Prof, about the bumper hay crops they raise down that way. The dark complexioned youth is very ambitious and as a side-line is getting in some very good experience which should prove of use later. When "Al" settles down the fortunate woman of his choice will bo siu'- prised at his ability to wield a broom. "Milt" sjicnt his placement training on the Cape and is now well vei'sed in growing asparagus. As yet he hasn't decid- ed wliether to go liack there and raise vegetables or to stait a canning factory at home.

This dark lanky gentleman can tell you which way Main Street runs (if there is one) in almost every towTi from Texas to Quebec, and from Verdun to Butte, Montana. Veriljf, he hath travelled far! The fates finally decreed that he pause here at M. A. C. long enough to absorb sufficient instruction in poultry and general farming as will enable him to support the wife he has recently taken unto himself. His quick in- tellect and studious habits have carried him high (if not actually to the top) in the standings of the class. The ranks of the Massachusetts poultry breeders are about to receive one of the best prospects that ever left this campus.

"But, in his duty prompt at every call, he watched and loepl, he prayed and fell for all."
We always thought that "Army" was a man without a vice until this spring. Nobody had even seen him or heard of him smoking, swearing, drinking, or out with wild women, but, in spite of that, he has a terrible vice. Ever since the sweet vernal grass began to head out "Arm}'" is never seen without a succulent stalk of it protruding from his hps. Alas! No man is per- fect! Besides being our class president for two years, John was the "old reUable" with the willow this spring. He has trusted the Pomology Department to impart sufficient information to enable him to make a living raising fruit in New England. \Vherever he goes he should be successful, judging by his accomplishments here.

Here is the songbird from England, who has given us many happy evenings with her music. She is another of the nature lovers, the out-of-door enthu- siasts, and she has been a hearty supporter of the hikes and the bacon-bats. She is a good horsewoman, and can ride anything, even to a bicycle. Her latest task is to teach the Co-eds the difficult process of balancing upon this tricky vehicle and avoiding the stones and trees. She has cheered many a hungry soul with a cup of afternoon tea and if you are particularly needy she sometimes adds a slice of bread and marmalade. As a member of the Social Committee she has worked hard to make a success of the various aftairs given by the class.

We could write indefinitely on this young man's good points and his career at M. A. C. He wiU have to agree with us that he has definitely decided on one step which was not included in the Two- Year curri- culum. We have been reminded time and again that married folks make the best farmers, and Bake has seen the light and is about to take the leap. He likes Ayrshires, and has shown in his work that he has assimilated the knowledge handed out to him; viz., "We like to see the wedge-shape and straight lines from hooks to pins." In fact, he may teach on grad- uating, and can use the above as a basis for this work.

"Walt" is listed as a Poultry major but a large part of his time, energy and pep has gone into athletics. His experience and ability in both football and baseball will be severely missed. As captain of both teams he has set a high example in grit and sportsmanlike tactics. In football he earned the sobriquet of "Ribb- sie" by playing through two seasons with several fractured ribs. As shortstop on the baseball team his steadying influence has been a big factor in the success of the team. It comes as somewhat of a surprise to learn that he intends to give up athletics and settle down to raise prize winning White Plymouth Rocks.

Good things still come in small packages. "Barney's" cherry grin and happy-go-lucky ways have made him popular with everybody, (women in particular). He is one of the very few to play on the three different teams here. It is truly fortunate that he is able to \\(ii-k off surplus steam in atliletics; terrible things miglit happen otherwise. When long, lanky Henry was twirling, diminutive "Barney" covered first and did a good job. His chatter on the coaching lines was the life of the game in many cases. If he puts the same pep into farming, how things will boom!

"She raves, and faints and dies, tis true; but rares, and faints, and dies for you."
In the fall of 1921, Brattleboro, a southern Vermont town, delivered to us one of its carefully moulded products. This town is especially noted for its Insane Asylum and Deaf and Dumb School. So my dear reader look at the picture and then judge for yourself. As a rule Avery is a very busy lad ; eats, sleeps, attends his fuss and dancing courses and assists the noted Greek to shake a mean soda. Here is a Httle secret about Avery. Do you know the day he had this picture taken, he spent $1 .50 for grub ? Some one asked him why he did it, and he replied, "I didn't want to look hungry in the picture." He goes about not saying very much, but we know he thinks a great deal. We are sure Avery v\'ill succeed and to him we wish the best of luck.

"Deacon" is a product of that well-known school for boys, Mt. Hermon. He is a sober and quiet lad with a secret romance which was not discovered until we found out that he had accepted a position that demanded a married man. "Beek" is a strong ad- vocate of M. A.

This should come in handy when milking recalcitrant bovines.

Among "Bennie's" other good qualities is his appre- ciation of M. A. C. as demonstrated by his three years on the campus. Although listed as a Hort. major, dramatics is his real line. He starred in last year's commencement show and bids fair to repeat this year. In spite of his activities outside the class room he has managed to absorb a vast amoimt of agricultural knowledge. We don't just know what "Bennie's" plans are but anyone with his horticultural ability should have Uttle difficulty in climbing the ladder to success. At any rate he will make the natives of that tight little isle sit up and take. notice.

"Bashjuhiess is'an ornament to youth."
Owing to his conveniently short last name this pink- cheeked young chap has never suffered the odium of a nickname. He might well have been spoken of as the late Mr. Bligh, for reasons obvious to his instructors. It is rumored that one morning last October, Norman appeared at the first class on time. Investigation showed that it was due to the fact that stanrlard time had been resumed and he had forgotten to set his watch back. We understand that Norman enjoyorl immensely the recent trip of the jjoultry ela.ss. One Connecticut town in particular had something attractive in it. at least, it was in it until Norman had been there a short time.

Holden has certainly lost a valuable man, bu.t it is only for a short time, because when "Brownie" com- pletes his agricultural education he is going to put it to work growing spinach, cucumbers, and such like, for the Worcester market. This lad is truly industrious for when he isn't working the Vegetable Gardening Department for a club he is minding the baby for friend wife. "Brownie" bought a bicycle a short time ago and no one can determine whether it is to save his shoes or to outshine Bicycle Barnes in stunt riding. It must be the latter for recently he did a flying somer- sault into the ditch near the apiary, considerately leaving his metal mount safely on the bridge. "Bro\\^l- ie's" quiet, direct and ambitious manner is certain to win him success in his chosen line of work.

We never heard of any rope factory in Beverly, but Carl always seems to be plenti- fully supplied with manila, the fragrant odor of which can be detected further than his diminutive figure can be seen. However, this habit is creative of pro- found thought and thought makes for success so Carl's future is assured.

He is a great promoter of the Jersey and takes great delight in advertising the Sibley herd. For sports Dick is out for two things, namely baseball and women. Yes, he is a strong supporter of Draper Hall and we think he is going to make a "home run." He is popular with us too, and to his credit be it said that he has a ruddy smile that won't come off, and a fund of dry humor that even the rainy season cannot dampen. Of amiable dis- position and fine qualities Dick makes a wonderful friend, and we're glad the campus has a lure.

"Chiz" is one of the quiet sort but is always there with his support for any legitipiate class activity. He alarmed all who saw him one day last fall by appearing on the campus clad in a scarlet cap and armed with a ferocious looking pop-gun, with which he fired on innocent passers-by from behind trees.

Like all of Vermont's sons "Cut" is slow in speech. He must have received his previous education at night school judging by his difficulty in keeping awake in class. Perhaps he will wake' up some day and set the world a-fire. "Walt" is one of the few to play in all three sports and is happiest when in action.

On Saturday night while in college Clyde could be found at Miss Biirry's going strong. But this is not his only ac- complishment, for any one that took An. Hus. S-5 will tell you that our friend "Luke" is a startling horseman. As substitute catcher on the ball team he worked conscientiously and long, leaving an impression with his team mates not soon to be forgotten.

"He seems so near and yet so far."
Fred is one of the few "New Joiseyites" that we have with us, but we would never take him for one of those famous Jersey Skeeters, for he is as unlike them in his nature as an Eskimo compared with a Zulu warrior. We have never been able to get much out of the lad in the way of conversation, but we all know him well and have been glad to have him with us as a friend and a classmate. Here is hoping to hear about him after he gets back to New Jersey and that he will show them how it's done at M. A. C.

"The race by vigor is won."
Between them the brothers Hesse have cornered just about all the available agricultural knowledge on the campus. They should make a great team. "Lou" is a serious chap, much given to thought, which doubtless accounts for his good record here. On several occasions he has played an important part in Two Year musical circles. His last appearance with his trusty fiddle and bow was in the Dramatic Club Orchestra at the commencement show. Perhaps the nicest thing we can say about him is that we wish he belonged to Massachusetts instead of New Jersey.

"Tis good in every case you know, to have tioo strings unto your how."
Sweet and short — ^but how deep the still waters run! This quiet little miss has given us some of the biggest surprises of the year. The only mistake Amy made is that her time here has been so short — we all feel we would Uke to have known her far longer than one short year. She is a lover of the great out-of-doors, and her knowledge therein seems to be boundless. Short though her time among us, she has made better use of it than many of the co-eds. All happiness in the world is our sincere wish for Amy.

"A7ui what is all the noise."
When this gentleman unbends and lets his dignity sli]) a httle a keen wit and an agreeable personality are disclosed, but this glimpse is permitted only at rare intervals to any and to some not at all. His tacitur- nity has rather unjustly earned for him the election as perpetual grouch. It is true that, at times, he does seem at odds with all the world, but these who voted to give him the title could have approached him at the right moment. He knows hens, and intends to make their breeding, rearing, etc., his life work.

"Men of few u'ords are the best, men."
"Ed's" quiet unobtrusive ways kept him from be- coming very generally known during his first year, but he could not remain a man of mystery forever and during this last year he has come into justly due popularity. "Kel's" twirling has baffled and beaten opposing batters and besides his accomplishments on the mound he has led the team in hitting. When not in the box he has effectively patrolled the center garden. For cheery good nature and steadfast loyalty of purpose we re- commend "Ed' above all others. May his success be equally high.

A typical grind and student, a hard and consistent worker at all times is this man Kelly. Speaking of cattle, the Ayrshire is the only one in the rimning according to 'Kell !" For recreation he delights in stealing away to the distant place called Bclchertown. We won't say any more in regard to this as we think he could tell you more than we could. Bo that as it may, if "Kell" gets after a task it is seldom that a guy can derail him.

This "Bee" wandered here from South Deerfield, and she is still buzzing. Rain or shine, "Bee" always has a g reefing for every one walking this broad campus. Bees and Bats don't usually work together, but this one has been on many a bat, and made it lively for the rest of us. Beatrice has been an active member and a hard worker in class affairs.

"Johnie" left us before graduation, though we see him occasionally in the "Henry." We understand he has an "onion" plantation in the valley and had to get his crop in early, hence his departure. "Johnie" has been going at things in a business-hke manner and spent much time in the Farm Management De- partment planning how to grow two onions where only one grew before. He has always been for "Aggie" and always eager to learn. We wish him success with his onions.

This young man came to M. A. C. fresh from the farm. Fate, however, landed him in the horticidture group and he has ardently pursued his studies along that hne.

Without doubt Mr. Legare will have to change his name to Simon Legree when he gets out on the farm he is to manage in the future. We all expect that his employees will step around right livelier than he does now, when he gets to wielding one of the big sticks which abound in the town from whence he hails. We would have a chance to get away with the above re- marks were it not for Roy's uncontrollable habit of bhishing on every occasion, thereby giving the He to what has been said. Even if his training here is not sufficient to bring him success, his amiable disposition will do the trick.

She's an artistic lady and horticulture was not just in her line. This is why she made it her avocation. Her vocation is whistling and playing the cornet, drawing pretty pictures and numerous other activities besides. We wish that she might have lived in the dormitory, for she's a cheerful soul. She has main- tained a constant interest in class affairs holding a position on the executive committee both years. As director and cornetist of the Dramatic Club orchestra her musical talent was displayed to advantage.

We never have seen Everett when his shining thatch was not slicked neatly into place, nor do we recall seeing him in other than faultlessly pressed trousers and well shined shoes. Shaking the light fantastic exerts a great puU on "Le" and Odd Fellows Hall knows him well. He always finds time enough to do sufficient studying to keep his marks on the safe side. If "Slim Red's" line was equal to his appearance he would have no difficulty in getting by on the vaudeville stage. At that, perhaps it is, who knows?

The pompadour is Bradford's pride and joy, and represents the art of the Amherst plumbers. No blushing maid ever had anything on him for modesty and "Lut" is our most perfect exhibit of minding our own business.

When so inclined he studies; otherwise he gives the profs an extemporaneous "line," fluency being one of his strong points. We expect soon to hear of the enormous profits he will derive from that farm in Randolph.

"It is less painful to learn in youth, than to be ignorant in old age."
Be pleased to meet, gentle reader, a representative of the "second city" of New England. But all kidding aside we have the greatest respect for one who can keep clear of all the various forms of amusement en- joyed by his colleagues in the dairy class and still be a good scout. Being old in experience, his words carry weight in an argument. He can discourse as well on the surpassing beauties of many Venus de Milos as on the quality and composition of ice cream. "Matt" is a hard, conscientious worker with the pro- verbial Yankee eye for the main chatice and we guaran- tee he will know what to do with that chance when it appears on the horizon.

Thru his perpetual crabbing on the field he has been dubbed "Johnny Evers" by his team mates but since his playing is equal to his crabbing we will forgive him for that. His chief regret in Ufe is that he didn't go to work for "Liz" sooner so that he might have had the opportunity to marry a farm. Cheer up, "Mac", all farms aren't married yet.

"Why should the devil have all the good times?"
The large metropolis of Southbridge has sent to us its most smiling flower of manhood. Yes, "Mac" is also one of these guys that are always talking about getting out of the finals the wrong way, but he is real serious if he gets below 85 in anything at the show- down. "Mac" has started in experimenting a little lately. He is mixing sodas down at the "Greeks." Thus far he has killed no one, but our advice is keep away from there the days he is mixing bug poison in agronomy lab, as there is a possibility of his getting the formulas mixed. At that, "Mac" gives his books and his labs some attention and he is the guy if anyone is, who can get away with it.

"Mac" is a plugger — and to prove this, one has but to glance thru his marks. He aspires to be a teacher, and we wish him luck. It would not be amiss to say that he has been a literal supporter of the "Inn" across the way. Probably this is an economic consideration — a time- .saver, perhaps. "Mac" gave the class oration and his Uttle lessons might well be remembered by all:

"Joe" really has a lot in him and will do his best at it if you don't mix books with it. "Joe's" favorite song is often heard way do^vn deep; "Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust, if the co-eds don't get you, the faculty must." At any rate we have no fears for the future of this man.

If "Don" plows through his trials and tribulations as he plowed through his opponents on the football field during his two years here, he sure will win out. As a member of the basketball and baseball teams, "Don" has certainly done his bit for the class of 1923.

Neat of dress, light of foot, and always with that appearance of just having stepped out of the proverbial bandbox, he is always in demand at the local dance halls. We suspect this to be another case where still waters run deep. Pack has absorbed considerable useful knowledge during his stay on the campus and great things are expected of him.

"White head" is as deadly to the fairer sex as the torpedo of the same name is to an unprotected liner. We don't blame them for losing their silly little heads about him but sometimes en\'y him a little. Even in this town, where the sterner sex predominates so heavily at all the dances, "Bill" is never without a partner. While here he has found time to play all three sports, getting his letter in basketball. The wa}^ he pulled down flies in the outfield this spring was a dehght to see, only his failure to master the hitting end of the game kept him from a regular job. "Bill" should be a success with "chickens" when he finishes here.

We have long since despaired keeping count of the number of flivers, motor-cycles, and golf suits this swarthy lad from the watch city has had and discarded. It is also hard to keep the town of his attentions located. At one time a little village on Cape Cod seemed to be his Alpha and Omega but just now Springfield conies to more frequent mention. It's no wonder he got the "night-owl" election when you con- sider his dancing ability, natty attire, etc., and its inevitable effect on the fair sex. He intends to become a landscape architect sometime, but not just yet.

"Dell," however, tired of his sea going gardening operations, and, piitting aside his deep sea boots, set sail for M. A. C. Since then he has diligently applied himself to the science of dry land cultural operations. Except for brief intervals when he has taken a crack at dramatics or was leading a Vegetable Gardening meeting he has stuck to his chosen subject closer than the proverbial leech.

We cannot say too much in praise for this husky young man from the Rerkshires, for his merits while among us might well be sung for many a day. Ray is a lengthy youngster possessed of a beautiful oomjilexion, and easily takes the prize at being the best looking student in the class. He is as we all know, a demon on the gridiron as well as a star on the diamond, and is a tiiie lover of all out-of-door sports. We have it also, that this same boy is no weakling at the indoor variety but "nuf ced", for we don't want to spoil all the nice things we have said about him and besides "Pott" is rather susceptible to blushing. We shall not soon forget Ray and are bound to hear from him in more ways than one.

And "Sam" has certainly appeared right at home, too, during the two years he ha,s been in our midst.

In home circles he is supposed to have a steadying influence on his "wife" "Rosie" but we fail to see any evidence of it.

On occasion he retires to the Idtchenctte and O! what luscious dainties then come forth!

This easy going chap has an almost fatal failing for school teachers. The fatal part comes in when an irrate prof lands on this luckless lad for an over-due lab. report. Perhaps some later date may prove the fatal failing to take on a more personal touch. Who can tell? John's other faihng is Rural Soc plus dramatic rehearsals. We wonder where he got his little originals (?) before his indulging in these collegiate pastimes. His chief hobbies are athletics and half cuts. As all star center for the Mcintosh Red quintet in their desperate encounters with the Butter Fats he displayed rare and remarkable talent. When "Slats" gets thru here he intends to raise tobacco in the famous little town from which he comes and we expect to hear consideratjly more of this town from then on.

"Dizzy" is very much interested in all subjects agricultural and surely finds out all there is to know, while in the classroom. He is easy to pick in a crowd, his walk is distinctive, he dotes on radio, and is in his glory when he is picking agricultural news from the air. He hasn't much time to spare for campus activities other than the classroom. We understand he likes to step out and surely shakes a wicked leg.

"Smiddy" is interested in Animal Husbandry and says he has picked up many pointers along this line while with it.. We think he has qther interests away from "Aggie" for he has been slipping away, very quietly on week-ends, perhaps to the "Home Town." "Smiddy" has a disposition which many envy and you can tell him by his pleasant smile. Much of our team's success this season has been due to his hard work behind the bat, and his ability to nip them at second. We know he will make good after leaving us and wish him all success.

Outside of class the only thing we have over seen "Bob" get really warmed-up over is bowling. During the cool days he was a steady customer at the Memorial Hall alleys. For a man of few words he sure can make tho.se billets talk when he goes into action with a fast cross-alley ball. Seldom is he seen on the short end of a match whether it is "two-some" or a "four-some".
We hope he doesn't forget himself and use the same tactics when he gets to shooing chickens into their coops at night.

However, his good nature is as unruffled as the pond on a June day and all his boyish pranks are done in pure innocence. His favorite one seems to be a double share of half cuts, but we under- stand that a brother of "Ed's" went before himsothat he is burdened with a reputation to hve up to. Those of us who were privileged to sit near "Ed" on chapel mornings are going to miss the inspiration for a day's work when no longer we can hear him carry the bass of No. 195.

It's a good recommenda- tion to the Overland Company that one of their cars has been able to withstand the strain of transporting this Gohath. To "Pop" more than anyone else is due the success of this book. He has worked unceasingly and to good purpose with never a grumble about the personal hardships undergone. We are all sorry that "Pop" is not graduating with us as he did not enter until mid-year and has one more term to go. However, this will prove fortunate to the members of the class of '24 as they will have a chance to better their ac- quaintance with him.

"Depend not on fortune, hut on conduct."
This young man is one whom we might all envy from a standpoint of scholarship, for when not found in the Library doping out something in Pom he can generally be located at his study on East Pleasant Street where all is quiet and serene. "Steve" sure is a "Bookworm," but the class is proud of him, for with his intellect and quiet personality, it is a cinch that success will shortly prove for him a worthy middle name.

"One of those well-oiled dispositions lohich turn on the hinges of the world without creaking."
This good-loolcing chap from the north has passed thru his two years here without once getting his hair ruffled the wrong way. He' is endowed with that slowness of speech which is characteristic of his section of our fair land. "Stick" is a conscientious worker and jiossesses to a high degree that quality of temperament so necessary, according to Sane, to the successful poultry- man. He has done good and faithful service as a mem- ber of the council and on various class committees. We all OTsh him the best of luck.

"A man's mind is moulded hy his thoughts."
Sully is a quiet lad but his cheery smile lights his way and takes the place of mere words. He is a natty dresser, wears his hair parted, goes to the movies, and attends classes with considerable regularity. He is seklom encountered on the sidewalks, preferring to do his traveling in a "Hen-coup." Beyond this we really know very little about him.

Although bearing the same family name as the gentleman immediately above, the resemblance ends there. "Jawn" seldom smiles but his quips and witticisms come in a never failing stream. Verily, the blarney stone is no stranger to his lips! He has an eye for the high producing biddy and knows how to make them do their best. "Sully" claims that chickens, like men, do their best work wlicn given plenty to drink.

However, if the pommes and pears fall for his line as others have, "Sunny" cannot keep from being prosperous in the future.

"Uneasy lies the head Ihat wears a crown."
This boy is a regular information bureau. There are not many questions pertaining to botany or agri- culture that really stick him. He is always cheerful and always wilUng to help a fellow. We have oftened wondered whether "Swanie" came up here to attend college or to attend to class affairs of the Two- Year Course. Although listed as majoring in Vegetable Gardening, many would get the impression by observ- ing his activities that he had many majors. Paul had long cherished the idea of going out West but having heard so much about China during his two years here, he has decided to go over there and teach the Chinese how to farm. A good student, popular with everyone, we are sure "Swanie" will succeed in any venture he may undertake.

This is not "Bob's" first offense at an agricultural institution, as previous to coming here, he studied at the Essex County Aggie, but its limited offerings did not fit with his ambitious nature. His hard work has made him one of the leaders of his class and got him the job of rusthng photos for the Shorthorn. That he has not done all that was required of him and more, no- body can deny. He has always been a loyal supporter of all class activities and we may safely predict that he will take his place in the world with just as mucli enthusiam and with as much success as he has met with here.

"Judge him not by his actions."
This spirited young citizen from the wilds of South Weymouth blew in at Aggie with a bang, and has been going ever since. A man of many attainments is "Tommy"; a good dresser, a good entertainer, a con- scientious student, and an ardent devotee of the terpsichorean art. in fact for most anything on the list he fills the bill even to picking "lemons." He likes a good time and is strong for the chickens (those without feathers)". When he gets that ice cream plant going in South Weymouth we are going to pay him a visit. There is a reason.

Coming from a town noted for its "one man one car" trolley line one would expect "Lick" to turn his latent brilliance to the improvement of that line but he has turned his footsteps in another direction and aims to make Brockton more famous for its lacteal fluid than its beautiful women. We wish him success. By an observant visitor he may be detected from the rest of the dairy crew by the amount of ice cream he can con.sume on the outside of his face as well as on the inside.

Wallie's thoughts have centered around his home farm, and it has been a background and inspiration for his work with us. He also has shown diligence in other lines. He will be graduated soon from that important position as head floor-walker at Stockbridge. He must have made good, for he now has a "Henry." We think the folks awarded him this very useful article for his good work at M. A. C.

After several minutes of much argu- ment "Charlie" finally won out, and he has been blowing it ever .since.

We have often wondered what George was fed on when he was young to make him grow so straight and tall. He has a heart of stone, too. Many are the female glances bestowed upon this blond giant, but to what purpose? Alas! he sees them not, or seeing, fails to heed. The little god who rules such will make him pay dearly, some day. One kind of chickens, tho, George knows all about. He can tell at a glance, when a bird began to lay, how many eggs it has laid, and how long it will continue laying. We predict a bright future for the lad with the slow drawl and distinctive ex- pressions.

He always wakes up around the time of finals and comes through with colors flying, though. 'Tis rumored that "Ted" has a girl down in New York somewhere!

"Out where the West begins, etc."
Certainly the good fates used extraordinary foresight when they had this J'oung man born to the name of Westervelt, (emphasis on the "west"). How he ever came back east is a problem that we never have been able to solve and he has held many of us aghast at his tales of the redwood country, the smell of sage, the frothing broncho, and the place where he buried his dead out there where they eat lead for breakfast. For excitement since coming back east he seems to find plenty over the mountain. Maybe it's a senorita of the border type. Please "Westy" forgive us it we have exaggerated anything. Maybe you could make us take some of it back if you used the old six gun. To bo sincere we wish to say "Westy" is a man of high ideals and conduct and we wish him the highest success.

Coming from the place made famous by its fruit, but otherwise never heard of, we naturally wouldn't expect much from this lad. However, you can't judge a man by the town he comes from for "Woodie" has been promineiit in class affairs from the very start and he i,s always willing to put his shoulder to the wheel no matter how difficult the task. As a side Une to his class activities and Dairy Course "Woodie" swings a mean broom at the Experiment Station. We predict that the future will see him rising rapidly in his chosen profession.

Upon our arrival on the campus in September, 1922, the Student Council took us in hand, explaining that organization and its purpose, assisting in the election of temporary officers, and outlining the course we were to follow in regard to conduct. Officers elected at this meeting were: President, Everett Miller; Secretary, Dorothy Haskell; and Treasurer, Allerton Johnston.
At the election of permanent officers the office of vice-president was done away with and the secretary was authorized to serve as president in the absence of that officer. The president, secretary and treasurer were re-elected, but Allerton Johnston resigned and his place was taken by Albert Cole, assisted by a committee of collectors.
A reception and dance tendered us by the seniors was attended and enjoyed by a large part of the class. This proved to be a valuable means of establishing contacts, not only with the seniors but also among ourselves. We gave the seniors a return dance to show our appreciation.
Several men turned their attention to football, and, under Coach Maginnis' direction, developed into competent players, greatly strengthening the team.
During the winter dances and basketball took up the spare time and provided diversion. Most of the regulars on the basketball squad came from our class, so a good team should be forthcoming next year.
While the snow still lay deep on the ground the winter term came to an end, and we parted for our farm placement work. Even in the short time we have spent here we have come to feel the helpful and broadening influence of Aggie, and we all look forward to a happy and profitable senior year.

This organization which had its inception in November, 1919, has risen to a place of considerable importance and influence in setthng infractions of conduct. The Council has proven its value to the course by bringing the two classes into closer contact and making possible unified action on matters of importance.
With the practical discontinuation of Rural Engineering and Vocational Poultry courses the membership of the Council has been reduced to eleven. All nominations and elections are now carried on at a regular assembly. This has served to heighten the general interest and to insure the selection of satisfactory men.
A conscientious group has always characterized the Council, which has earned the respect of not only the Two- Year students but also of the Four- Year men and faculty.

CIa0S of 1923
The Social Committee of the class has indeed been an active one during its reign of office of one short year and a half. The outstanding feature has been the co-operation and class spirit which has crowned the social event with success.
The first event which remains vivid in the memory of all was given in Novem- ber under the name of "A Farmers' Ball." This was enjoyed by all, especially the loyal co-eds, who entered into the spirit of the masquerade whole heartedly. Director and Mrs. Phelan, with other members of the Faculty, added much to the pleasure of the evening. It passed with much merriment and fun.
Not only have the members of the class enjoyed indoor activities, but the lure of this wonderful and interesting valley has been quite keenly felt, especially by the co-eds. Bacon bats and hikes have been enjoyed from time to time. Mt. Sugar Loaf and Toby have been explored by various members of this large and energetic group of j'oung men and women.
On returning as Seniors last September we gave a Welcome Reception and Dance to the large Freshman Class of 1924, in Memorial Hall. The guest of honor was President Butterfield, who had just returned to us from China. Mem- bers of the Faculty were present, and the spirit was one of warm appreciation.
The ensuing months passed by on wings! The next event was a Farewell Dance to the departing Freshman Class. Both classes entered into this last social of the year with a feeling of comradeship which has left a lasting influence upon us, who leave this campus in June. We shall not forget the good times here, and look forward to future reunions after we have gone out into our life work.

. ^. C. i:b30=gear dramatic Club
All organizations pertaining to dramatics which had been formed previous to 1923, were composed of senior students, and, altho excellent work was done in the production of the commencement plays, the disbanding and breaking up of each club thru the graduation of its entire membership necessitated the organiza- tion of a new club before dramatic work could be resumed. This has been a very serious obstacle in attaining that high standard to which the Two-Year group aspires. Plans for overcoming this weakness in organization were present- ed to Director Phelan, in January, 1923, and with his approval a meeting of those students interested in dramatics took place.
The question as to whether or not we should have a permanent dramatic organization met with a favorable answer, and temporary officers were elected, with twenty students signing as members. A committee was elected to draft the necessary constitution and by-laws.
At a meeting on January 31, the Constitution was presented and accepted by the club members, who, at this time, numbered forty.
February 15th an election of officers took place, and the temporary officers were re-elected to hold office for the remainder of the year.
97
In accordance with the constitution of the club an election of officers was held March 22nd, and a full staff of officers elected among the junior members of the club. This junior staff will assume office at the termination of the Spring college term, and will take up and continue the dramatic work upon their return to college. In this way the organization is perpetuated from year to year, obstacles of re- organization are largely overcome and better work should be done.
It was hoped that in this club all short course students might meet on an equal standing and not be separated by grades or factions of any kind. Therefore, all short course and special students are eligible for membership, and faculty members are welcomed thru invitation by the executive chairman.
As soon as organization was fairly complete it was decided to begin stage work at once, and tryouts were held from which seven one-act plays were cast, two of which — "Lend Me Five Shilhngs" and "The Brink of Silence" — were later presented at Bowker Auditorium.
At a meeting in March two committees were appointed, one to select a com- mencement play and one to organize an orchestra. The committee on plays selected "Caste," by T. W. Robertson, for commencement, and an orchestra was organized under the leadership of Miss Fredonna Leitch.
A cast for the commencement play was soon chosen, and the work of prepara- tion moved along spiritedly. The orchestra, composed of five pieces soon gave every indication of success.
Altho there are many things about the organization and policy of the club that can be very much improved, yet, up to the present time, the club has been thoroughly successful. It is hoped that the class of twenty-four will take up the work where we are obliged to drop it, and, over the trail which we have lilazed, build a broad and permanent road straight on to higher standards in dramatic work.

^toogear Clubs;
Nobody of any vision can fail to recognize the importance of social life in a college, and in the clubs that have been developed in the Two- Year Course is to be found the highest type of fraternal life.
In 1922, there were four of these clubs on the campus, three for boys and one for girls, but one of the boys' clubs was forced to drop out. Of the two remaining boys' clubs, one has a house of its own, and the other is hopeful of being likewise established in the not too distant future.
The clubs have shown themselves to be of great value in drawing the alumni back to various occasions on the campus.
A healthy spirit of rivalry exists between the clubs, and a series of twilight ball games were played this spring. During the winter the clubs combined forces on several occasions to stage dances in the Memorial Hall.
Let us hope that none of the present clubs will wither away, but that each will prosper and expand, continuing to hold the same broad outlook which now characterizes them.

Coach Graj^son's call for candidates for the team was answered by a large squad of mostly inexperienced men, there being only three veterans back in the line-up. Coach Grayson and Captain Betterley immediately got to work, and soon the Two- Year Course was represented by a fast and snappy team.
The first game was against the heavy varsity "C" team, and the boys sure did look good in there. The Two- Year showed superior tact and skill, decisively defeating their opponents with a 10 — 0 score.
Our next game was with the fast Stevens Institute eleven. It was a hard- fought contest, but we had to suffer a 14 — 7 defeat.
After two weeks of hard practice, "Aggie" lined up against Worcester North High. We started off with a "bang" and every man was in there every minute, and we were never in danger. The Worcester boys put up a good fight, but the superior playing of their opponents sent them home defeated with a score of 21—0.
Our team next journeyed down to the "Nutmeg State" to play the Conn. Aggie 2nd team. The teams were quite evenly matched, l)ut the "Conn" boys finally succeeded in putting over their second touchdown, and we left the gridiron on the small end of a 14 — 7 score.
The two hardest games of the season were to come next — the heavy Spring- field College second team and the speedy Lowell Textile eleven. Our opponents outweighed us twenty pounds to the man, and we were defeated by both teams with final scores of 31 — 0 and 3.5 — 0.
However, it was a profitable season, and material for the 1922 team was developed.

Jfoottiall 1922
About thirty candidates answered Coach Maginnis' call for candidates, but of this squad the green material was far in excess of the veterans. This squad had hard workouts daily under the supervision of Coach Maginnis and Captain Bangs, and a fighting team was developed.
The season was unsuccessful from a standpoint of victories, but this was not due to the fact that they did not play the game to win. The boys played hard and clean in every game, but were unsuccessful in pushing the pigskin across for the winning points.
Altho the season was unsuccessful, much valuable football knowledge and hard earned experience were gained by the undergraduates, and a good season next year is looked forward to.
The exceptional work of Captain Bangs at quarter and Outhuse at center were the outstanding features of the games, and too much credit cannot be given to the untiring efforts of Coach Maginnis.

Pagfeettjall 1922
The 1922 Two- Year basketball season opened with several familiar faces on the squad. A hard schedule of sixteen games had been arranged by Manager Nettleton. There was a lot of good material out for the team, but they lacked experience, and Coach Grayson had a difficult proposition on his hands to develop the needed material. After several calls for candidates "Em" was able to whip two full teams together, and lively practice games took place daily. Soon a very promising team was developed under the efficient direction of Coach Grayson and Captain Ross.
The season started off with a victory over Amherst High. The next game was our first defeat at Sacred Heart. Three more defeats followed, but we didn't give up the ship. After a long cold ride to Arms Academy we lined up against the Strong "Arms" team; it was a closely fought contest from the start to the finish. After playing two over time periods we finally succeeded in defeat- ing our opponents to the tune of 21 — 20.
Five victories and five defeats were the results of the rest of our season. Too much credit cannot be given to Captain Ross. He worked hard every minute, and his foul shooting was far superior to his 0]3ponents.

The basketball team of 1923 was composed of practically all raw material, there being but two members of the 1922 team which formed the nucleus around which the team had to be built up. There was a truly large response at the calling of candidates, and much enthusiasm was displayed by all. Every indiv- idual was given a thorough tryout to display his mettle, and under the watchful eye of "Em", those of this year's team who come back next ye^r, together with what raw material may be developed, should put the Shorthorn Quintet back into the winning column and uphold the reputation of Two- Year teams in days gone by.
Altho this season's record was on the face of it rather disappointing from the standpoint of victories won, yet let it be said that it was thru no lack of spirit or gameness that the scores do not read differently; for every player exemplified the same Aggie spirit which has ever been prevalent from the beginning of the course.
The team seemed to gain in strength toward the end of the season, and the fact that the strong Natick High School team was taken into camp tends to bear this statement out.
So, after taking into consideration the fact that the men were all new to each other and did not have the big advantage of ever having played together, it should not be said that the team was entirely unsuccessful, and the experience gained by the Junior members is sure to make itself manifest during the years ensuing.

PafiJeball 1923
Immediately after the close of the basketball season indoor baseball practice began in the Drill Hall. About thirty candidates reported to Coach "Em" Grayson, all of whom had more or less previous experience; but each had a de- termination to do his best for the course, for the team and for "Em."
The season started with a 23 — 5 victory over Turners Falls High, which gave evidence that a hard-hitting and snappy team was to represent the Two- Year Course this season.
The next game against Sacred Heart High was opened with a homer by Micky McGrath on the first ball pitched. Armstrong dupUcated Micky's feat a few moments later, and the game was on ice. Carl Henry's excellent pitching could not be solved by the Holyoke boys who did not connect safely throughout the game.
The first out-of-town game was played with Wilbraham Academy at Wilbra- ham, and the team continued in its winning stride by bringing home an 11 — 3 victory. The hard hitting of the Aggie boys and Kelley's excellent work on the mound featured the game.
One week later the Wilbraham team journeyed to Amherst to even things up, but "Em's" strong aggregation started in where it left off the previous week, and the visitors left on the short end of a 19 — 5 score.
Monson Academy's strong team visited the campus a few days later, confident of a win. Both teams hit the ball hard and handled it carelessly, but the final count showed the two-year boys on the long end of a 17: — 14 score.
At this stage of the season the boys lost their batting eyes and suffered three defeats at the hands of Sacred Heart, Deerfield Academy and Monson Academy. The absence of Captain Bangs in the first two of these games was keenly felt, and his value to the team became very evident. The following week the boys returned to the winning column by defeating Palmer High 14 — 2.
June second the Deerfield nine visited the campus, and won in the ninth by a score of 8 — 6. This was a close, interesting game, and a fine exhibition of baseball.
The season was ended in the proper manner by annexing the Commencement game with Worcester North High by the score of 11—1. The season proved to be one of the most successful any of "Em's" teams have thus far experienced. All hated to see it end so soon, and the joy of playing together will long be re- membered.
