1930s


--CLICK ON PHOTOS FOR LARGER VERSION--
Gerald Raynor, Class of 1932, Orna. Horticulture, met with SFCA staff in 2002 to share his memories about his time as a student. He also donated a large number of pictures, meticulously labeled in scrapbooks, to the SFCA. These are some of the pict ures from his collection, now held by SFCA.

Mr. Raynor told of times when every student had to perform rotating barn duty (two weeks on, two weeks off). This meant getting up before 6AM, doing barn duty, eating breakfast, and then continuing with a full day of classes. Students also performed barn duty on weekends. They were required to be in the dorms at night by x:00, and on weekends were allowed out until x:00.

In 1932, there were 3 fraternities--Sigma Alpha Gamma, Phi Sigma Chi, and Th eta Gamma. On March 19, SAG hosted the annual Spring Hop. (see invitation card to right).
