Overview

Excerpt from The Gleaner, Vol. 20: June, 1920 Football practice and the games became the anima tion of the life in the fall. The first hum of the silage cutter was also the first signal for organized practice, and anxious alumni began to inquire about the chances of the team this year. Moreover to make the football team became as much the ambition of students as to become a P. G. (post Graduate manager of one of the farms). Baseball enthusiasts, however, were not want ing and their enthusiasm has come to rival that of the fall gridiron men. Tennis is a sport in which students languidly indulge in mid-season. In fact both baseball and football languish during haying season at which time swimming in the Neshaminy and lolling on the campus become major sports in the evenings, while tennis is only for the energetic few. The literary society, the Zionist society, the musical club and other organi zations thrive lustily and have their place in the tradi tion and history of Farm School students. The Gleaner, a monthly student publication has' been kept to a high literary standard and is the official chronicle of Farm School events. Traditions have grown up; the dignity of the senior, the authority of the Junior and the nonentity of the Freshman are recognized institutions. Social life, while democratic, has tended to recognize certain standards Prayer by a senior precedes each meal, the dignity of the overall is not recognized on the football field when the adversary is being met and the best showing for the school is desired. The cadet uniform has become the standard dress for chapel, while the conventional attire for haying may be re duced to any minimum.
