The editors wish to express their thanks to all the loy- al friends of the paper who have helped to make it a success this year. Next term the Booster will have an added feature. If the present plans become a reality, and if enough subscriptions are forthcoming, the Booster will contain photographs of prominent pupils, school activities, etc., throughout the whole year. This will be a great step in advance; but in order to do this it means that every student in Manual will have to support the paper. Just think how- much more interesting the paper would be if run upon such a princi- ple. Think how much more pleased you would be if, instead of merely reading an account of the track meet or of any other school event, you could see the exact picture as viewed by the camera ' s eye. Just think this over, Mr. Subscriber, and then when you come back next term, be the first one to hand in your subscrip- tion to the Booster. — Robert Barnhill. Ivy Day. Ivy day is a day that should be kept in the memory of every senior. Tho, here and there, there were a few flaws in the exercises of the last Ivy Day, yet as a whole the day was w T ell enough celebrated so that it should stick in the memory of its partici- pants. The details may be forgotten, but the general impression and the feelings, both glad and sad, that I re- ceived and, in fact, that all seniors re- ceived will remain fixed in my mind forever. Each word in the songs we sang aroused some emotion within me, and doubtless, v ithin my fellow students, for in reality what ' s true for me is also true for them. Mr. Colli- cot ' s speech moved me deeply; I simply absorbed his words. I couldn ' t think; I only felt. And so, if I may judge by myself, my fellow seniors did. Thoughts may be forgotten. This occasion w T ill cling to the mem- ory of every senior as the ivy clings to the wall. — Abe Zimmerman. A Tribute. Miss Lo la I. Perkins, the coach of the last two senior class plays, de- serves much praise for her worthy contributions to the activities of the school. Although the most recent ad- dition to our English department, she has undoubtedly made a niche for herself which no one else can fill. Miss Perkins came to Manual from the Stadium High School at Tacoma, Wash., and immediately recognized the need of a course in elocution, with the result that in February a class in Expression was formed under her instruction. From this class sev- eral members of the cast of the June play were chosen. In addition to coaching the casts of the senior plays, Miss Perkins has contributed much to the school by her entertaining readings at several times during the year. Miss Perkins has indeed endeared herself in the hearts of the Manual- ites. — deV.

THE BOOSTER Foundry Opens Wide. Here is a chance to see our foundry. If you never had the opportunity be- fore, open day is the time and room C the place. Beside the core work, and the moulds of lathe beds, pulleys, cranks, flywheels, Indian heads, an- vils, shot, and all kinds of other things, Mr. Henning will show the foundry in everyday operation. Some of the boys will be working on molds, and some in pouring the metal. Runs will be held on Friday, the first in iron, the secon din aluminum. The Nautical Story Which Came From Naught. — Spasm the First — The innocent (?) remark, Let ' s go out for an Ambuhl, Helen, cranked up the engine which turns the wheels of Fate. Helen and her friend picked up several of their friends and went down to the William Brooks, where the good craft Raymond Sayles. Esther, hand me the keys and we will do some amateur Wundium! said Charles Able. After they had seen Millard Oilar two boys warmed up the engine and fed him some Gass. The boat chugged out to the lake called Chester Pool. The bits of conversation recorded below were transmitted through the ether by brainless. The party spoke of the Merriweath- er they had been having. Some one who is a Forum member said, I move that we crown Vincent King. The second motion (which was pre- sented by Clara) : Kruse all over the lake, was also passed. Each mem- ber rose to his feet and cried, Aye! Aye! Sit down and let Anna Roch the boat. A Gail (not Shewalter) arose and here is where things began to hap- pen for Herbert Green in boating, fooled with the Rigg. The boat struck a Schol and began to Leak. It would have done you good to hear Lester Quack: Carl, Fearnaught! Your body will be found when the Cops drag the lake] Then arose a cry: Throw out the life line! Vincent Sinkes! By means of a Scully the party landed near a Teegarden on an unin- habited island in Brightwood. Then cried Chester, Hurrah! I feel Saffer now! I might add here that the trip made Esther Haggard and Effie Gaunt. Then Spake two of that mighty group of scientists Caldwell and Campbell: John, Rust caused that Leak! and thereupon Samuel, Singer and other- wise a hindrance to human peace, sang the Helene Sawyer Glide Part Two will follow immediately. Note: Not the group of mighty scientists. Don ' t confuse these ideas, fond reader. — Spasm the Second — Meantime Edward noticed his Lohss of his boat, and with a horri- ble oath he said, I ' ll Hunter. (Said oath was that if he didn ' t find the boat he would buy anew one.) He asked a Gardner if Ke had seen the boat. When he came upon the casta- ways he raised such a Row that though usually quite Stout they had to Carrie Henry from the firing line. When he made Joe Schell out the price of a new bo at it made Wil- bur Schwier. But the story must end since Frank Turney does not have the k in his last name. Sloan made some liniment which each used when he, she or it got home, and all de- clared they felt like a Newman. —J. C. Rush. A Lunch Room Poem. A golden hair ' s before me, Agleam it lies so fair; I wonder who once owned it, With its glint of gold so rare. Mayhap some knight once fought for her In days of long ago. While queen she was of some fair land With life and love aglow. Only the hair of a girl it is, In a tiny curling loop But I know I ' d like it better If it were not in my soup! The teams in the Manual Baseball League finished their season in the following order: Cubs, Athletics. Hoosier Feds, Tigers, Cardinals and Giants.

THE BOOSTER SENIOR MINSTREL SHOW Between reels of the new moving picture machine, on Thursday of Senior Week, the senior boys en- deavored to produce a good impres- sion on the audience. And they cer- tainly did from the start. They ap- peared mysteriously from the prop- erty room beneath the stage, from various windows of the auditorium, and when these places were used up, appeared to sprout from the floor. Edward Mitsch acted as interlocutor for his company, who peered over big white collars, artistically decorated socks, and above immense white gloves. If 1 { ) g i ' - The little slams that were gotten off on the faculty and pupils were of high class stuff, also the little parody en- titled Montani ' s M. T. Band. But the biggest hit of the evening was featured in the impersonation of Frank Tinney, that well-known com- edian. After the minstrel men had performed to the utmost, Maurice Thornton and Harold Trussler gave as an encore some of the new dances, varied with original productions. Then the men of color disap- peared in the same mysterious man- ner in which they had presented them- selves to the audience. Nina C. Bingham. I wonder why you boys all like Your chemistry so well In spite of all this dirt and dust And then that awful smell? To meet the girls here in the lab, So many and so fine; See, over there ' s old Anti Dote, And here is Ani Line. Sili Kate with Chlo Roform ' s Right next to Cara Mel; Over the flame is An Hydrous So close to Bell Metal. And Bessie Mir and Polly Mers, The cause of many a fall; But the biggest flirt of all the group Is Ethyl Alcohol. — John Trost.
