Agricultural (l^pportumties! in Jgeto Cnglanb
'TpHE fundamental cause for the present agitation for "economic equality for agriculture" is •*■ that deflation after the War hit agriculture harder than it did other industries and vocations. This is not mere opinion or resentment as some city-dwellers seem to think. The actual fact is that the purchasing power of the farmer's dollar, which represents the results of his year's efforts in contrast with that of other workers whose products he has to buy, fell as low as 68 cents at one time. It is now gradually coming back, but is still too low to give agriculture its fair share of the national prosperity.
Many of the present efforts to improve the situation are misguided. The solutions offered would fail to relieve the situation if put into operation. This is because they are directed toward a purely local situation rather than a national policy. But others have a very definite purpose back of them to decrease the spread between the rising costs of production and lowering selling prices of farm product?.
From any of these which may be put into successful operation, New England agriculture is bound to receive very considerable benefit. The present status is that we are competing with products of other states for a market which is overstocked. It is the intent of all sound legislation to relieve excessive marketing costs, promote more rational production programs, and adapt agricultural procedures to modern industrial needs and conditions.
When any of these efforts succeed, Massachusetts farmers are in a peculiarly favorable posi- tion to profit from them. Nearness to markets, with consequent low transportation costs and the absence of excessively inflated land values, are two very favorable features of our farming situation. We do not have so abundant a store of native soil fertility to draw upon as do the mid- west prairie farmers; but our agriculture is already finding programs for production which success- fully meets this handicap. These programs call for the production of farm crops and animal products for which New England has natural advantages which permit our farmers to compete successfully in our great markets with similar products from other parts of the country or world. These are usually the high-quality and high priced products which constitute the "cream of the market" trade. It is in this particular type of products that the largest opportunity for profit is to be found, rather than in the so-called "staple foods" to which the farming possibilities of large areas of the West are limited. Hence, it is in this field that future opportunities for New England farmers are very hopeful.
With general conditions improving, I look for favorable days ahead. I even expect to see some of our "abandoned farms" brought back into production again. Also, I should not be sur- prised to see the trend of industrialization of the State lessened at least to the extent of an increas- ing rather than a decreasing percentage of rural population.
Seasonal exchange of labor between agriculture and manufacturing will help with some of the labor problems of both, and provide better labor incomes for some types of workers. Decentraliza- tion of city dwelling, resulting both from city congestion and from the possibility of rural homes for city workers now that good roads and automobile transportation are available, will help to improve rural living conditions.
Altogether, it seems to me that the outlook for New England agriculture is really better than it has been for the past fifty years. It no longer has to compete with a constantly increasing new agriculture in the West, on newer fertile lands and with more favorable climatic conditions for crop production, as it has had to since the post-Civil War developments in the West.
Hence, I believe that the young man who is now preparing for intelligent work and manage- ment on a farm in New England has now an excellent outlook and opportunity for a highly satis- factory future.

Euto of tije (iame
I THINK we sometimes need to have recalled to our minds how much the spirit and determination of a man have to do with his ultimate success in life. Educa- tion itself is a tremendous lever for success, but the dynamic force called courage, determination, grit, or what you will, is the spark which releases the energy in the explosive mixture of life and work. I think the two terms cannot well be separated if we consider the importance of joy in and love for one's task. True work must be a Uveable, loveable part of a man's existence if the finest satisfactions are to be secured. Neither can the best work be done without a zest in the task, a spirit of enjoyment and pleasure in the job confronting us. And right here comes the art in the job, the true culture and appreciation that come from doing the task, no matter how humble or routine, just as well as is humanly possible, and with a professional under- standing of the skill and craftsmanship which you have employed in the work. Such results, such satisfying reactions, do not come to the unskilled, untrained worker.
And so, to you men and women who are completing your two years of training with us this June, I want to urge the importance of that age-old cry of the Psalmist: "Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me."
A recent article in the press summarizes nicely the elements of training for the best citizenship.
"The most desirable citizen will have good health and also the habit of observ- ing the laws of health ; a taste for sports and the 'safety habit' ; besides the learning of his country, he will desire to enlarge his knowledge of the world. He will seek at least such an elementary acquaintance with the sciences as will enable him to under- stand fairly well the phenomena and machinery of the world he lives in ; he will have command of the common arts. The men will have certain manual skills and the women others, but both will have the ability to dig in the dirt and to plant and cul- tivate vegetables, flowers, and fruit."
"This most desirable citizen will have a vocation intelligently chosen and ade- quately prepared for and a character that will insure the permanence of his social duties, first to the family and then to the State, including an obligation to be in- formed, to vote and to accept office when called upon to do so."
What has your education here given you to meet these standards? Has it, like the well-coached athlete, helped you to better run your race of life?

/^UR two years on the campus have terminated. To most ^^ of us they have been two years of extreme joy, pleasure, and good fellowship. Perhaps not all of us have fully appreciated all that has been done for us during our stay here and if this annual. The Shorthorn, will help us to remember those who have so untiringly strived to help us, its purpose will have been accomphshed. It is with mingled feelings of joy and sorrow that we approach the last days of our two years stay at M. A. C. and as we are about to start on a new journey in life, we hope that we will be able to live worthy lives, lives that will honor those that have stood by us so faithfully during the two years, and that we will be able to carry the standard of Stockbridge to new heights.

Skip has charge of the V.ctrola at the K. K. house. He sure keeps it in good condition and believes in giving it a lot to do. His chief indoor sport is play- ing records on this Vic or else trying out new ones at the music store. He is quiet sometimes (when asleep). He bursts into his room at the "Frat" like a lion but usually goes out like a lamb after his room- mates get through with him (?).
Women are not dominant in "Skip's" life at pres- ent, but he seems to have a weakness for them some- where in his heart (We wonder why).
"Skip" stands high in his class, and when it comes to flowers, the boy is right there.
His ambition is to own a greenhouse some day. Go to it "Skip" you're the kind who delivers the the goods.

Although "Dick" always sits in the front row in class he manages to get more than his share of sleep there and it is one of his accomplishments to be able to get out of bed and make class in nine minutes.
As manager of the football team Dick certainly did a fine job and should be congratulated for it. Dick is always around when there is a good discus- sion going on and he also has some good arguments. It's a sure thing that Dick will make good in what ever he attempts, and we all wish him success.

Likewise if you see a tall slim well turned out young man, dressed to the limits of fastidiousness, with his Stetson set at a rakish angle — walking briskly toward town, why don't pull your daughter off the sidewalk in fear of the city slicker, for it's no other but Charlie again — only this time headed for bigger and better week-ends at Holyoke.

If Prof. Packard had kept his mind on this particu- lar serious minded member of the Senior class he would have been gratified to note that at least part of his lectures on preventing colds was observed. Ralph put on his rubbers with the first drop of rain last fall and for all we know he may wear them to bed as he has never appeared without them since. But "Brownie," is like that, always considering the sober side of life. However, he does have his moments, so to speak, much the same as everybody else does. When Ralph comes out with one of his sudden outbursts which reminds one of an extremely heated sermon at church everyone is forced to sit up and take notice, Ralph generally says something worth listening to. His particular "hobby" the past two terms seems to have been, "Plant Insects and Diseases." He was completely wrapped up in this subject, he even discussed it with the Director. Ralph is really an excellent student and a good all around fellow and is well liked by all, and Stock- bridge could use many more just like him.

According to "Joe" he has managed to keep "Cas- sie's" hands on the wheel, and incidentally make sure that he burnt plenty of midnite oil in the old Essex, during the past year.

A studious man about Campus, always on his way home to arrange some notes, with his faithful Genieve ever before him, pronounably so, in fact. His excellent work throughout his two years stay at Stockbridge has always been preceeded by frequent visits to the office of the Prof, in question. This may account for the resulting high marks, or then again it may only account for his weakness in pounc- ing upon misplaced "don'ts," and other common grammatical errors of his fellow classmates. But Richard is an earnest student and should go far in upholding the traditions of Stockbridge, providing his early whistling does not evoke the wrath of his neighbors to too great an extent. His whistling is generally welcome among his classmates, however, even if he doesn'nt always keep in tune. We all expect great things from "Dick" in the near future and we wish him all possible success.

Briefly Nelson is what is known as an "urban rustic," dreamy, jovial, elite, and almost susceptible to the exterior charms of "flapperism." Yet from all these distinctions Nelson is a great kid.
There are just two times when Nelson has nothing on his mind, namely, when he is asleep and when he is in class. However you can't beat him for An. Hus. spirit, and volume of voice. He is everybodys friend, partial to none and if you don't know Nelson you don't know half of the class. Good Luck Nel- son and we all hope your dreams of pure-breds come true.

"Skelly" is another graduate of Smith Academy. He joined us at the beginning of our Senior year. "Skelly" is one of these tall, lanky, quiet fellows who hides a depth of sterling quality which few but his closest friends can only guess. "Skelly 's" tardi- ness to classes was excusable, as you know he came from Hatfield. "Skelly" has not decided on his future but we are sure that he will make a name for himself in whatever he undertakes.

Just another member of that famed "Essex trio." This boy has a weigh with the lady folks, and what he has done to the feminine hearts here on the cam- pus, during his stay among us, is cruel. Of late, Joe has shown a decided preference for "steno's," and if one may judge by appearances, the "steno" has taken to Joe. Best of luck Joe, it would be a wonderful combination on a poultry farm — knowing your dislike for "figures," and love of "chickens."

Where's Helen? In our simple ignorance we might suppose that, since "Buff" hails from those wicked Blue Ridge Mountains, she must specialize in Shakespearian English, corn liquor, and feuds, but nothing of the kind! She has only occasional lapsed from our northern tongue, prefers her corn in the silo, and never scraps with anyone but her room-mate. She is interested in literature, though. A southern correspondence takes much of her time, and she comes to class with modern and mediaeval books on her arm. I wouldn't ask her about the fence post if I were you.

This outstanding individual did not have any difficulty in getting into the public eye, in his fresh- man year. He had not been with us more than two weeks before he was unanimously elected by the Student Council as "Wise Guy No. 1." As we came to know him better we found him to be a great fellow who hides a depth of sterling quality, that only his closest friend can gain. We are undecided as to beliefs about the fairer sex, at social events we find him with the cream of the Abbey. Also due to the fact that most every week-end he leaves Amherst we are inclined to believe there is a great attraction elsewhere. His trip to New York brings to us many interesting tales.
Seriously, Mike is a first class pomologist. He has done some very fine things on his orchard in Orange, and we expect great accomplishments from him in his line.

Duke occasionally majors in "Human nature" and his lab. work is generally in the vicinity of "Kelly Sq." or in Hadley. Now friends do not think he was out the night before his picture was taken, it's only natural. Duke is quite some boy at that and will swear if provoked sufficiently.

Placement training certainly did a great deal for "Teeter" in more ways than one. He gained more confidence and experience in six months than most of us get in six years. His trusty pipe which is going at every opportunity is one of the best ex- amples. However, it did not give him the big he- man appetite that we had hoped for, yet he still exists and grows fat on the smallest amount of food of any member of the class. Buttered toast and a glass of milk is as filling to him, as a boiled dinner is to the most of us. He's our example of a perfect boarder.
That he still does possess more or less of his bash- ful nature is exemplified by the fact that he has been endeavoring for two years to get up sufficient courage to make himself known to a certain member of the fair sex in town. No progress has been reported as this goes to press and it begins to look as tho he will walk out of her life a perfect stranger, unless violent action is taken before the middle of June. So our advice is to buck up "Teeter," light the old pipe and say "howdy"! We certainly wish "Teeter" com- plete success in all of his undertakings.

"Vic"
Millbury Floriculture Club
Vic came from the wilds of Millbury in search of knowledge. He found the pathway leading to it, when he chose Floriculture for his major. Now that he has mastered that art we expect big things of him. He is a quiet lad but has proven his ability while here at "Aggie." He is one of the few fortu- nate ones who have had a car while at college. We wonder why he waits for the trolley from South Hadley so often on Friday afternoons. A few are said to have had a glimpse of the fair lassie.
Success to thee, Vic.

"Betty" "Bettina" North Marshfield Floriculture
Girls' Sorority. Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. Floricul- ture Club. Glee Club. Basketball, '29, '30. Amandy grows some flowers in her gard; Hollyhocks, balsams — it is very hard To think of her without those flowers 'round. But in the kitchen she does like a sound Of stirring, and clatter and a smell Of gingerbread, and pies, and things, and — well She likes her flowers pretty they and sweet, She also likes old furniture, and things to eat.
"Betty" hails from the home of the cranberry, the pilgrim fathers, and the antique. She likes all three. Just where she gets her energy, we have been unable to discover. She strides about among us, removing easily all that would block her path. She knows her roses, too, and why plant roots earthward, and what good nature means. Some one is going to have pleasant gardens when "Betty" gets on the job. Whether it will be perenials, or temperamental wild flowers is not decided. We wish her well.

"Al" is a wizard in his major. "He knows his onions." Al has already started his vegetable work, let's hope he continues to find success in vegetables.

Northampton Animal Husbandry
This genial, happy-go-lucky youth drifted in from that much abused city, Northampton, in search of enlightenment and knowledge.
Being possessed of an open mind and a thirst for a broad education he took the Animal Husbandry course.
Possessed of an easy going nature and a gift of ready repartee, and spontaneous humor, A. W. has whiled away many idle minutes with the boys with his contributions of wit all of which have helped to win for him a host of friends on the campus.
Here's luck to you "Smitty" and may your bridges never tumble down.

Business Manager Shorthorn. Basketball, '29, '30.
"Crissy" is another of our ambitious Animal Husbandry men. He has proved his working ability as manager of the Shorthorn. "Crissy" has worked earnestly to give the basketball team a successful season. In all of Christopher's undertakings he has given his best work at all times. He seems to like to spend his week-end in his native town, altho it is often hard to locate him there over the week-end. He is a capable driver, and is particularly noted for his ability to drive without lights over unknown icy roads. "Crissy's" smile is always present and it certainly is good to have it around. He plans to take up the business of raising pure bred Guernseys and we are sure that he will be successful. We all wish him the best of success in all of his undertak- ings, and we will expect great accomplishments from him in a few years.

She has learned to combine beauty with business; her music and her poultry are united in her pet canaries. Whether she will teach her leghorns to sing is a question worth considering. She certainly has enough energy for the job if she decides to try.

"Stoney" is a fellow of small stature, and may be usually seen around the Floriculture department. He is quite a studious fellow, little heard about, but is known by many. "Stoney" tried for the football team, but due to his stature he gave it up, but not before he had shown plenty of grit. His general fellowship has admitted him to the A. T.

Joe's one aim in life is to be a successful poultry man and successful he will be, if he applies himself to his work as he has to his studies. As far as we know, Joe's only recreation is reading the "Boston Globe," altho "Red" Ball tried hard to make a high jumper out of him! We all expect much of Joe, and he goes out with our sincerest wishes for success.

"Bill" IS one of these fellows that can pick up most any kind of an instrument and before you can wink, he has started off in a tune. We all have appreciated his willingness to help us in our musical programs, and if it hadn't been for him the "Glee Club" would have been sunk. Every few weeks "Bill" has a great alibi, "Gee but I just got to get home and see the family." It sounds good and all that, but knowing him as well as we, the story wouldn't be complete without a girl in the case, and that said one happens to be in "Whitinsville." "Bill" is a whale of a nice fellow and takes great interest in his pomology, but for the rest of the subjects he rather be playing the banjo. We know "Bill" will make good, and expect to see when passing through his home town, a vast area of fruit orchards bearing a sign on the side of the road "Taft and Sons, Fruit Growers." Good luck to you "BiU."

Mere words cannot do j ustice to the record which Fernald has made during his years at Amherst. Even the fact that he hails from Flatwood, Pa. cannot be held against him, as he has established himself in the hearts of all lovers of a fighting spirit and true sportsmanship.
Besides his huge towering frame, we will always remember him for his unassuming nature and genial- ity, qualities which made him a friend worth claim- ing.
A jovial and loyal companion with a pleasant greeting for everyone — that's Fernald!

The little village of Cornish, N. H., feeling the need of some information about ths outside world and the best method of raising "corn and taters" picked Tracy for its representative.
So in the fall of 1928 this youth from the wide open spaces became Dick to his buddies and has remained so ever since.
His support of outside activities as well as getting good marks has been noticeable. We feel sure that when Dick returns to Cornish, they will learn that he has not been away in vain.

The natives of the little hamlet of Dalton wept bitter tears as this son left for the bright lights of Amherst in the fall of 1928. However, they were consoled by the thought that some day he would return as a great animal husbandryman, to put up model barns and raise better cows.
Besides living up to their anticipation Ed has made a host of friends, through his happy disposi- tion, willingness to help, and earnestness of purpose.
Ed's two years here represent the aggregate of days of good fellowship and pleasant memories.

"Laugh and grow fat" applies strictly to Ernest.
He is one of the popular men of his class as shown by his numerous activites. He is quite musical at times and toots a mean trumpet. As to the Glee Club he adds perfection. He used to be a quiet fellow until the fair co-eds joined the Glee Club. Ernest is a friend indeed at all times, although his heart is not set on any one person, it is mired in Floriculture.

"Zim" is rather a quiet person on campus or in class. He has much responsibility this year and carries on just as well as ever.
He doesn't have much to do with the fairer sex, although he is liked by all of them who have the good fortune of knowing him. However we would like to know who writes him all the letters from Jamaica Plains.
So far as we know "Zim" has the honor of wear- ing the largest shoe on the campus. But he is well balanced because he also has a big heart, ask his friends.
"Zim" sure knows his flowers and he will probably be running a greenhouse of his own one of these days.

HISTORY is a narration, dealing with the events which characterize the progress of man thru the ages. It deals not only with governments, wars and con- quests, commerce and politics, but also with groups of men and women, and their relationships and activities. We, the Class of '30, have made history. We have met with and triumphed over problems inherent in the athletic, social, and intellec- tual life of a college. It is with pride and yet with feelings of regret and remorse, that we look back upon the indelible years spent here at Stockbridge. Years of concentrated effort and study yet blended with inestimable friendships and pleasant associations, never to be forgotten.
A group of timid freshmen, we gathered on the campus, in the fall of '28. Homesick were we and looked down upon by the lordly seniors. We were obliged to subject ourselves to certain regulations laid down by the seniors, the most evident being the one of wearing blue caps. However, we soon became acquainted with the members of our own class and with the seniors thru banquets and receptions. Many of us were fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to pledge ourselves either to one of the fraternities or the sorority, which created a new and very inter- esting experience for many of us. The first term passed by quickly and the second even more quickly and we were thrust out among strangers into a new life, placement training.
Many thrills and adventures were in store for us during placement. We made new acquaintances and friendships and gained much valuable information. But nevertheless we looked forward to our senior year at Stockbridge.
When October came, we once more gathered on the campus. Our football team, Ed Hill, captain, had arrived several days before us, and were well along in practice, for a successful year. Over a hundred freshmen joined our forces and the fraternities opened their rushing season. Aside from this, things went fairly smooth, with Ken Leonard going home week-ends regularly for some unknown reason — we think there must be some great attraction in Abington. In November we gave a reception to the freshmen at the Mem Building, in the form of a dance. They returned it in the winter term.
During the second term, basketball and hockey held our attention. Toward the end of the term the Interfraternity dance was held, which was a great success. We soon bade farewell to the freshmen wishing them luck on placement.
Spring approached and our last term came into view. With spring came base- ball and tennis, — and of course the new moon was beautiful. An honor system was started, so that those whose scholastic record was high could do special work, during the spring term, along lines in which they were especially interested. The term was filled with various activities and before we realized it, commencement was upon us.
Now we, the Class of '30, are gathered together for nearly the last time. Our years of study and enjoyment are behind us and the doorway to the future is open before. We are well prepared to combat the obstacles which shall ever confront us as we go down the pathway of life. But the ideals and inspirations we have received here will forever remain within us, and shall we never lose the spirit which has been ours here at "Aggie." g jj Worthington.

Dedicated to the Class of 'ji
We amble slowly to the pit, Our faces stamped with awe, For we are to come in contact With that demon. Business Law.
We are fed on definitions
And words fit to crack the jaw;
But our troubles have only just begun
In dear old Business Law.
On Thursday, we went to the pit. And on the board we saw — "Tomorrow there will be a quizz" In good old Business Law.
So that is why we tear our hair And rub our knuckles raw. For Napoleon met his Waterloo, And we've met Business Law.

'' I ^WO happy banquets were the foundation of our work and play at Stockbridge. -'- On Friday, October 4, we had the memorable "get acquainted" reception. Our class was well represented.
In December the Seniors gave a dance for the Freshmen and revelers danced until the late hour of 11.00 o'clock.
We started off the month of March by giving the Seniors a dance in the Me- morial Building. Both classes had a large "turnout" and, speaking on the whole, the dance was a splendid success.
Now we are looking forward to our placement training and the return to Stockbridge as all-knowing Seniors.

'HpHE end of placement training found twenty of us back to carry on the work -*- of previous years.
Immediately we began preparing for the coming year. Smokers were held and bids sent out. We were successful in having forty-six bids accepted; fourteen seniors and thirty-two freshmen. We were then confronted with the problem of initiation. The new class of candidates seemed to be a large number for such a small number of initiators to handle. But with everyone working hard, it went over with creditable success.
About midnight of that eventful evening Hampshire County roads were full of hikers, going in all but the right direction. However, the following morning found all initiates back in time for chapel exercises. Shortly after initiation was over a welcoming banquet was given to the initiates at the Lord Jeffery.
Time passed swiftly and in the late fall a formal House Party was held at the Women's Club. Music was furnished by the Silvery Slipper Orchestra of Spring- field under the management of "Bus" Aseltine.
The beginning of the winter term found us in the midst of the second rushing season. We were successful in getting one more senior and four freshmen.
We received notice during this term that the present quarters of Alpha Tau Gamma would not be available after this year. Action was immediately taken, committees were appointed and plans for next year were drawn up. This coming fall the seniors will have the pleasure of living in the new Alpha Tau Gamma House.
With keen competition from Kolony Klub, in the tournament which consisted of Bridge, Basketball and Bowling, Alpha Tau Gamma was the victor for the second time.
Following the tournament a very enjoyable smoker was given to us by Kolony Club.
Next came the Interfraternity dance, held in the Memorial Building, a dance which will be long remembered by all of its participants.
As the time approached when the freshmen must leave for placement training, a Farewell Banquet was given them and at that time officers were elected for the coming year, they are: Thomas Burke, president; Richard Lewis, vice president; Ralph Henry, secretary; Earnest Peterson, treasurer.
With the coming of spring our fraternity life here on the campus grew shorter.
Our Fraternity Prom was the last social event of the yar, and it was hailed as one of the most successful dances ever held in the history of Alpha Tau Gamma.

THAT wonderful experience which we call fraternity life has been a big factor in our life here on the campus. No one of us, who has had this enjoyable and help- ful experience, would ever cast it aside, if it were possible to live again these two years at "Aggie." As we look back, we realize our college days would not be com- plete without this experience. To many, it has meant a turning point in life; it has given them new ideals, and inspiration to accomplish greater things.
Many events marked the history of our two years in Kolony Klub. Initiation, not as enjoyable when we went through it but most interesting when we put our freshmen through it; banquets, scenes of brotherhood and fraternal spirit which will remain with us throughout our lives; house dances, where we spent many happy hours; interfraternity competition where we won and lost with good spirit. All these afforded fuel for the unquenchable fire, — Kolony Klub spirit.

"npHE new Physical Education Building which is soon to be erected has been made -*- possible by the generosity and cooperative efforts of the alumni of the College and School, trustees, faculty, and friends. They have contributed for this building $115,000 to which is to be added an appropriation by the State of $172,500, making a total of $287,500 available for construction and equipment. Thus, what President Thatcher described at the beginning of the campaign as "the outstanding need of the College at the present time," is about to be met.
The new building will be located on the site between the Drill Hall and the Paige Veterinary Laboratory. This location will place the building convenient to the Athletic Field, Memorial Hall and the Drill Hall. This is important since the Drill Hall main floor and locker rooms will then be given over to the girls exclusively as a gymnasium and the swimming pool in the new building will be convenient for their use.
The building is planned in two distinct sections. The front section is a two story brick structure facing 210 feet on Lincoln Avenue with a depth of 50 feet. Attached at the rear is a dirt floor recration hall 180 feet long, north and south, by 150 feet, east and west. The first floor of the front section contains main locker room, supply room, basket room for locker system, shower room, toilets, laundry, janitor's room, swimming pool 30 feet by 75 feet, and a women's dressing room for swimmers.
The main entrance is to the second floor, central section, of the front building. This floor contains three team dressing rooms with room for treatment of injuries, shower and toilet rooms, all in the south end. In the center is a commodious lobby, trophy room, offices for the department staff, and public rest rooms for men and for women. The north wing contains an office for the Medical Supervisor of the Student Health Service, examination and corrective exercise room, photographic room, class room, faculty dressing room with showers, and one hand ball court.
The dirt floor area at the rear will have a cinder track 12 feet wide around the outside boundary with a 12 foot flat balcony directly above the track. Each winter a temporary board floor 48 feet by 96 feet will be placed across this area near one end for basketball. Spectators can be seated both in the balcony and in bleachers set on the dirt floor at the sides of the playing court. This basketball floor and seats will occupy less than one half the enclosed area thus leaving ample space for other types of recreation and games. After March 1st the whole area will be available for early preparation for the spring out-of-door program.
This plan is the result of a study of a large number of college physical education plants throughout the country, and embodies the most up-to-date and useful features found in these buildings.
It should make it possible to overcome the limitations of the New England cli- mate and provide. facilities for a year around well balanced program of physical education for all students.

•npHE first call for football candidates was about a week before school opened. -*- About twenty-two men reported, mostly freshmen. With the opening of school the squad was doubled with many prospects for a good team. There were only three lettermen that reported for Coach Ball to build his team around. They were Captain Hill, Arne Oksanen and Harold Durkin. There were other seniors that had some experience in the games the year before but had not played enough to win their letter.
Richmond Barr reported as manager and did a creditable job.
Palmer High 0, Stockbridge 7 Our season opened on Oct. 12 with a very poor showing because most of our material was green and were not used to playing Coach Ball's type of football. Al- though the score seems small. Palmer never threatened score for Stockbridge; held them in the center of the field most of the game. We finally got organized and marched down the field and scored. Hueg took the ball over from the three-yard line. He also rushed over the extra point.

October 18 — Conn. Aggie Frosh 13, Stockbridge 0
We entertained Conn. Aggie Frosh but with no avail. We outplayed them in the first half and were in the shadows of their goal posts most of the time, but failed to have that last punch to put over the ball.
The second half was a different story for they had strengthened after a little talk from their coach. The teams played evenly the third period until at the begin- ning of the fourth period one of their men caught a long forward pass and raced down the field 30 yards to make a touchdown. After that our team blew up and started playing loosely until late in that period they ran back a punt fifty yards for a touchdown.
October 25 — Wilbraham 6, Stockbridge 7
After a few practices our team finally hit its stride and started working together.
We took a short trip to Wilbraham which proved very successful. This was the best team we met during the season and we played our best game as the score shows. We held them many times when they were ready to score. This was done mostly by Orsanen who played both sides of our line and baffling the Wilbraham backfield. When they saw a nice hole in their line, so did Okanen and he filled it with his two-hundred pounds.
They finally scored on us in the fourth period but missed their try for point after the touchdown. On the next kick off Ed Hill received the ball and ran 60 yards down the field only to be tackled 8 yards from the goal line. In two plays we put the ball over and made our point after the touchdown.
November 1 — Amherst Frosh 0 — Stockbridge 7
Amherst Frosh came down to play us which was more or less a practice game, but we didn't consider it so. We played hard and clean football constantly gaining through their line. We made one grand march down the field and scored the only touchdown of the game.
Everyone played his hardest because we wanted to be one Aggie team that beat Amherst.
November 9 — Pittsfield High 0 — Stockbridge 21
We journeyed to Pittsfield and took this game with ease. Our superior weight won the game for us without much effort.
November 16 — Keene Normal School 6, Stockbridge 7
Another interesting game was with Keene as the score indicates. They scored first on a forward pass but missed their try for point after touchdown. A little later Stockbridge tightened up and marched down the field for their touchdown and made the point after touchdown giving a one point margin.

November 22 — Deerfield Academy 13, Stockbridgb 7
This was our final game of the season, the one we had been looking forward to and it proved to be a very good game. Stockbridge scored first but Deerfield came back with a strong forward passing attack and scored their first touchdown. The teams battled hard and Stockbridge was always threatening to score. At the begin- ning of the fourth period Deerfield scored after a series of line plays which spelled our defeat. The boys played their best and gave all they had.
Even though we lost our objective game, we finished our schedule with a very good showing by winning five out of seven games. We scored 49 points to our opponents' 25. We are looking forward to '31 to have a more successful season.
Floyd "Ducky" Wheaton was elected captain and Ernest Petersen manager for next season.
Letters were awarded to Captain Edwin Hill of Gardner; Arne Oksanen of Fitchburg, Harold Durkin, Waltham; Kenneth Leonard, Abington; Lincoln White, Abington; A. W. Smith, Northampton; Edgar Boardman, Sheffield; William Touhig, Springfield; Frank Lee, Norwood; Floyd Wheaton, North Dartmouth; Russel Wiman, North Dartmouth; Joseph Hueg, Wellesly; Clyde Keene, Concord; Ogro Fish, Concord; and the manager Richmond Barr of Worcester.

' I ^HE large number reporting for basketball made it necessary for Coach Ball to -'- form two squads. The first squad consisted of Capt. Coyle, White, Boardman, Baker, Wittington, Moulten, Smith, Andrews, Griffin, Lee, Mongillo, Lewis, Bower and Hill.
The schedule was opened Jan. 13 by defeating Arms Academy 27 to 17 on the Arms court at Shelburne Falls. Bower, Boardman and White starred for Stock- bridge gathering in 21 of the 27 points. The game was well played and showed a promise for a good team.
Palmer High School defeated Stockbridge 35-15 at Palmer on Jan. 21. The team could not get either offensively or defensively in the first half and Palmer led 27 to 6. In the second half the defense tightened and they outscored their oppon- ents 9 to 8 with Bower scoring 13 baskets.
Jan. 28 another victory was added by defeating Amherst High, in a well played game on the Drill Hall floor, by the score of 21 to 17. Stockbridge took the lead from the start led by White and Boardman who tallied six points apiece, and was on the larger end of a 13 to 9 score at the end of the half. Shortly after the start of the second half Amherst rallied and took the lead 14 to 13. However, the lead was short for Baker tallied three double deckers, placing Stockbridge in the lead and on the winning side at the close of the game.
Turners Falls High defeated Stockbridge 16 to 6 Jan. 30 on the Drill Hall floor. Baskets by Baker and White kept Stockbridge in the lead during the first quarter

(3| The- 1930 - Sliortliorii
and at the end of the first half Turners Falls led by but 7 to 6. During the second half Stockbridge failed to score and Turners Falls substantially increased their lead. The game was quite rough and fouls numerous.
Feb. 4 Easthampton High came from behind in the second half of a hard fought game at the Drill Hall, to win 31 to 20. Stockbridge lead at the end of the first half 17 to 15, due to good shooting by Baker and White. In the scond half the Stock- bridge defense cracked and Easthampton scored 16 points while Stockbridge added but 3 to their total.
Feb. 11 the Stockbridge quintet defeated Smith Academy 25 to 17. Stock- bridge presented a strong offense and defense so that at the half they were on the large end of a 14 to 5 score. In the second half Smith Academy rallied and made a game effort to overhaul the Stockbridge lead but Stockbridge raised their early advantage to win. Boardman played a very good game and added materially to the score by tossing in six baskets.
Feb. 14 Stockbridge took the Sacred Hearts of Holyoke into camps 31 to 27. During the first half although the offense and defense functioned well, the game was slow and uninteresting. Stockbridge had everything their own way so far as scor- ing goes, amassing 15 points to their opponents' 6. Boardman and Baker played well and did much to keep their team in the lead. During the second half the game became faster with Sacred Hearts passing continuously. With Boardman out of the game on fouls the Blue and White were hard put to keep their lead.
Stockbridge journeyed to Suffield, Conn., Feb. 19 and met a 25 to 13 defeat at the hands of the Suffield School. During the first half Stockbridge played well and outplayed their opponents more than their 9 to 8 lead seems to show. However, Suffield rallied in the final half, played a fast and skilful game and held Stockbridge to four points. Boardman and White played a very good game for Stockbridge.
Smith School of Northampton were defeated 21 to 15 on Feb. 25 at the Drill Hall. Stockbridge took the lead from the start and were never headed. The game was snappy and hard fought. Stockbridge was on the top of a 12 to 7 score at half-time. During the second half Baker and White kept the team in the lead. Baker- and White starred with eleven and six points respectively. Boardman and Coyle also showed up well on the floor and added two points each to the final score.
Feb. 28 the Stockbridge quintet completed their schedule by taking the Middle- bury Pre Med. into camp 17 to 10. The game was slow, quite rough and not very interesting to watch. Both teams presented a fair defense and missed baskets time and again. However, Stockbridge was easily the better team and showed up well as compared to their opponents. Boardman, Baker, and White who have played so well all season starred for Stockbridge. Baker shot 4 baskets, Boardman sunk 2 doubledeckers and 2 fouls, and White tallied once. The floor work of the three was expecially worthy of note.
The season was fairly successful winning 6 and losing 4. Due to the large turnout of Freshmen and 3 lettermen Coach Ball has prospects of a fine tem next year. The team will be led by Ed Boardman captain and manager.
The letter men are Capt. Joseph Henry Coyle, Somerville; C. F. Smith, Holyoke; John J. White, Fall River; Edgar Boardman, Sheffield ; Lawrence Baker, East Bridgewater; Charles P. Whittington, New York City; Arthur J. Cutrumbes, Dracut, Mass.

'T^HE hockey candidates reported to Coach McGeoch soon after their return from -'- Christmas vacation. A large squad reported, but the team was handicapped, due to its lack of experience. Ralph Brown was chosen Captain and Richard Lee appointed Manager.
Deerfield 2, Stockbridge 0 We opened our season with Deerfield Academy on our home rink. In spite of lack of practice our men put up a fairly good exhibition, holding our strong oppon- ents down to two goals.
HoLYOKE 2, Stockbridge 4 In second game we defeated a weaker team. The coach used numerous substi- tutes and the team showed up well as a whole. Our opponents fought hard to come back in the last period but our team was not to be denied a victory.
Gushing 3, Stockbridge 0 This was to be our first trip to Ashburnham, but due to poor ice, the game was played on our home rink. During this game our forward line worked to perfection, but due to a few unlucky breaks and their good goal tender we failed to score.

Greenfield 5, Stockbridgb 1 Our first trip was a game with Greenfield at Springfield. The team played its customary type of clean hockey, but we couldn't progress against the type of play used by our opponents. The game was exceptionally fast and our men showed up wonderfully well.
WiLLISTON 4, StOCKBEIDGE 1
A trip to Easthampton and another fast game with Wilhston. The team voted this game as our best exhibition. The result was uncertain until the last five min- utes when our defence collapsed and Wilhston scored three goals. The opposing goalie had the misfortune to be hit in the eye by one of Captain Brown's sizzUng shots just as the whistle blew ending the game.
Greenfield 6, Stockbridge 1 A return game with Greenfield and our first evening game. Our team took the lead immediately when Durkin scored with a low skimmer, which the goalie hasn't seen yet. In the second and third period our opponents scored at will with shots that came by way of the air route.
M. A. C. Freshmen 0, Stockbridge 3 In a practice game on the "Aggie" pond rink our team defeated the Freshmen. After a scoreless first period, we made a few changes in the defense, and our forward line began to score We scored three goals while holding the Freshmen scoreless. The game was most satisfactory as it was the only defeat for the Freshmen during the season.
Wilbraham 8, Stockbridge 1 In this game we were completely outclassed. The whole team worked hard but we couldn't keep up to the pace set by our visitors. Al Shats scored on a sola dash through the entire team and one of the neatest goals of the season.
WiLLisTON 5, Stockbridge 0
A final game played in a blinding snowstorm, resulted in our final defeat. We were handicapped by poor ice, a slightly disorganized team.
Prospects are good for a strong team next year as only four men are lost through graduation. Ralph Henry was elected and Purdy was chosen manager.
Insignia were awarded to Captain Ralph L. Brown of Portsmouth, N. H., Judson W. Hastings of Agawam, Harold Durkin of Waltham, Sanborn A. Caldwell of Lynnfield, Alfred F. Warren of Medford, Richard G. Lewis of Framingham, Henry S. Murray of Concord, Ralph Henry of Maiden, and Richard H. Lee of Northampton, manager.

THE Stookbridge Glee Club is still a young organization, since it has only been in existence two years. It is nevertheless an active one, and is becoming more so from year to year. The truth of this statement is brought out by the fact that the Stockbridge co-eds have seen fit to ask for membership into the "Club," and have been gladly admitted as a welcome addition, since their soft voices greatly influence the harmony of the voices.
To those who have any musical talent, and wish to cultivate it, the Glee Club will be found a great aid, since it is under excellent supervision and is very well financed. Then too, it is one of the few cultural groups among the Stockbridge organization and we sincerely hope that many will avail themselves of its opportunities and benefits in the years to come.
The members of the Glee Club all wish to extend their sincere thanks and appreciation to Mr. Marc Parlow for his excellent and talented supervision, and hope that he will continue to be with them in the coming years. They are also very grateful to Director Verbeck for giving them an opportunity to display their ability in several concerts given as a part of the chapel program. The Club is also indebted to Mr. Harry Purdy for his efforts and successful mustering together a very interested Glee Club. We hope Mr. Purdy will continue the good work in 1931.

1\ /TANY of our Stockbridge students are taking active part -'- ~ -^ in some of the college organizations. One of the new- est of these is the college 4-H Club known as the "K. O." Club. Each year prominent club members from all corners of the state are coming to M. A. C, having learned throughout their years in club work what the state college offers them. Many of these students are enrolled in our Stockbridge School and are preparing themselves to carry on in some specialized field of agriculture, the interest in which started when they were youngsters in club work back on their own farms.
The K. 0. Club has been in existence for several years as a club for girls formerly 4-H Club members, but this year the boys were asked to join and we now have more former club boys in the college 4-H Club than girls. About one-third of the members of the club are Stockbridge Students. Doris Feltham, '30 is president of the organization and other Stockbridge members are: — Margarite Bancroft, Charlotte Milner, Edgar Boardman, George Burkhardt, Francis Fen- ton, Charles Duponte, William Greene, Richard Kellogg, G. F. Watts, Alfred Shats, Samuel Chapin, and Harold Rindge.

T 1 /"E the class of 1930 take great pride in being termed as ' ' the most oustanding class ever to be graduated from the Stockbridge School of Agriculture. From our entry in 1928 we have accomplished things unheard of prior to our day. Having been so outstanding during our stay here we have all reason to believe that we will continue to be so as we journey thru life. If we but bear in mind a small portion of the knowledge that has been put before us, as well as benefit by our contacts with our fellow classmates we surely will con- tinue to progress. We all have had many experiences both beneficial and disastrous, but if we have learned thru our experiences we have gained much. As we leave the campus, many of us for the last time, we realize that it has meant much to us, and if we have obtained nothing more than a knowledge of human nature our time has not been wasted.

Reads Newspaper on 100th Birthday
Gorham N. H. Feb. 10, 2008. Charlie Pea- body, owner of the Sunkist Greenhouse, spent his 100th birthday quietly at home reading his paper. He arose early as is his custom and after breakfast, sauntered around the garden as was his custom and finally retired to his favorite arm chair to read his paper
He was much interested in an article which told of Kenneth Leonard, a classmate of his at Stockbridge, who was celebrating his 75th wedding anniversary. Mr Peabody at once telegraphed his sincerest wishes.
Father Stone Sails for Tour of Europe
New York Jan. 16, 1949. Among the many notables sailing on the Leviathan today, was Father Donald Stone of Shrewsbury, Mass., who leaves on a six months vacation to visit and study the churches of Europe. He is well known for his work among the poor and for his efforts to clean up the saloons of Shrews- bury.
University Man Attains Record
Littlegrass, N. H. April 1, 1999. What is believed to be the most outstanding achieve- ment of the kind in the world has been attain- ed by Earle B. Mosher a former student of Stockbridge University. Mr. Mosher has attended three or more Church services every Sunday since his childhood, and according to his own statement at his home this morning he expects to follow his footsteps for the rest of his childhood. Mr. Mosher states that his success is due chiefly to the start that he re- ceived at morning chapel while at the Univer- sity.
New Gymnasium Presented to Stockbridge
Amherst, Mass., June 12, 1960. Two class- mates of '30 Earnest Worthington and Robert Mann, today laid the corner stone for the new $500,000 gymnasium which they have so gen- erously presented to their alma mater.

St. Louis, Mo. June 16, 1947. The Mutual Life Insurance Co., issued a policy today in- suring the feet of Arne Oksanen for $5000. He has the distinction of being the first human to have his feet insured. He may collect the $5000 if any injury should impare his feet so that he could not clog. Mr. Oksanen is in- structor of clogging and has his studio on Hillside Ave.
Notorious Rum Runners Captured
Boston, Mass. July 30, 194S. Chas. Becker alias "Gentleman Bootlegger", and E. Stanley BoUes alias "The Kid" and Elmer Crockett alias "The Babe" were captured early this morning on their yacht, "The Silver Cocktail" from which they have been directing the activities of a huge rum fleet operating on the Atlantic Coast. The capture was effected by three revenue cutters after a running battle lasting throughout the night. The palatial yacht has been confiscated and will be sold at auction.
Former Rum Runner brings high Price
Boston, Mass., Aug. 5, 1952. The "Silver Cocktail" once king of the fleet of rum runners was sold today at auction for $38,000. The gentlemen who bought this palatial yacht were none other than Jason Hill, owner of Hillstead Farms and Clinton Woodward co- owners of the Raider farms. They plan to repair the vessel and cruise along the coast when their jobs become monotonous, it is well to note that they were classmates at the Stockbridge School of Agriculture.
