It would be an impetus in bringing men and women together, furthering friendships, :; . :ostering goodwill and spirit. The first step in breaking down the walls of ';:he White Hall innersanctum have been taken to coed advantage. Will the second step in human (,zing the place be a co-recreational system? Growing Pains , Eighty-three years ago this week there arrived here on bobsleds, followi!.g a 25-mile ride through snowdrifts from the nearest railroad station at Sprude Creek, a party of 69 ambitious boys to enroll in the first class of the.new Farmer's High (School of. Pennsylvania. These pioneers of 1859 had seen a vision, along with great leaders of :nat day, and were out to help the scientists determine how the tillers of the soil could better meet the increasing demands or foodstuffs which were made by the rapidly growing population of the country. The dormi tories, classrooms, and laboratories were housed in the East %Ving of Old , Main and an adjoining building. As time passed, the demands of agricultural und industrial leaders for a different type of high 'tar education resulted in the passing of the Mer rill Land Grant Colle,;e Act of Congress which was signed by Abrahar Lincoln on July 2, 1862. The Farmer's High School was renamed The 'Pennsylvania State College and designated as the ;land grant college of the state on April 1 of the totext year. If they were alive today, we wonder what those 69 farmer boys would say of the new Farmer's High School, which has clone more than just grow limn the original 200 I,•res of land to over 2,000 :teres.

"That's says Ferdy. , "The more talking there is, the more you get done." "The less talk - the bitter;" Says' Max. 'How so?" says Ferc3y, chewing a twig 'You should do, not talk." "Yeh, but you gotta discuss the future so you know what's gonna happen : " "You can't know that anyway," says Max. "You have io stick to the job at hand, live for the moment." "But you have to have a goal in mind, something to look forward to in the future," says Ferdy. "The goal isn't important. The working toward it is. You work toward it in the present." "There must be an incentive." "The incentive is in the present pleastu 4 e, of working," says Max. "You must feel that Eomethirig will soon be ac complished," says Ferdy. "While you're doiriL,„ you're accomplishing," says Max "But what about hope. the looking forward?" "The present is the future you looked forward to in the past." "That sounds nice," , says . Ferdy, "but people are doing, as well as talking." "What are, they doing?" • • / . "Taking defense courses and stuff," says Ferdy. "Yeh," says. Max. "T heard a couple of the coeds talking about taking a 'rifling course. It :looks to me. as if . they're more interested in the ple_asure to be gained .from , defense courses than from the practicality of,taking.courses.for which they're. really needed .and.best suited." "Now, , • don't' be harsh,". says Fetdy. "It's• not such a ..bad . .idea for a woman to• know how to handle a gun." ' "Yeh, but I think it would be better for her to take sorriething she's sure she'll be needed for, like care of children cr first aid." "Did you sign up for a .course?" asks Ferdy. "Nope. Did. you?" "Nope." "Then we'd better keep our mouth's shut," says Max.
