According to Mr. Emory Grayson, 

 placement director, placing students 

 for their six months' training re- 

 quired at one time a considerable 

 selling job. Says Mr. Grayson, "I 

 used to write literally hundreds of 

 letters to possible employers, farm- 

 ers principally, throughout the state, 

 but during the past ten years I have 

 had to do very little selling. The 

 training students did such a good 

 job that the word got around among 

 the farmers so that now I have many 

 more applicants for training students 

 than I have students available."

 rector of The Stockbridge School. In the 

 1936 "Shorthorn", official yearbook of The 

 Stockbridge School, student editors compli- 

 mented Mr. Verbeck for developing and up- 

 holding a Stockbridge tradition of character 

 and sportsmanship. His unwavering faith 

 through thirty years of splendid leadership 

 and his genuine enthusiasm for "his boys" 

 have earned for the school the reputation 

 of being one of the finest two-yecr courses 

 in vocational agriculture in the country.

 School Avas expressed at one time by 

 the former President Conant of Har- 

 vard University when he compli- 

 mented our university on its "suc- 

 cessful development of a two-year 

 terminal college . . . that focuses on 

 the practical educational needs of 

 its community."

 be paid The Stockbridge School than
