THE BOOSTER MISS ARDA KNOX, Class Sponsor Will of the June Class of 1914. (By Clara Eedig.) We, the June class of 1914 of Man- ual Training High School, of the city oflndianapolis, and State of Indiana, being of sound mind, memory and un- derstanding hereby revoke all former wills and declare the following our larv will and testament. First: We direct that all our just debts and funeral expenses be paid by the January ' 15 class as soon after our departure as possible. Second: To the School (M. T. H. S.) we bequeath $1,000,000 for buying up the ground around the school in order that a playground may be built in which there shall be a ball dia- mond, tennis courts, polo ground, and all other amusements according to the wishes of the students. Third: We beque ath the remains of Ralph Agnew ' s moustache to any fellow in the next class who intends to raise one before the year is over. We think that the two put together ought to bring forth one that could easily be seen without the aid of a microscope. Fourth: Frank Turney ' s goggles we bequeath to the Mecca Studio to use as skylights. Fifth: To George Davis, president of the next class, we will Frank Henry ' s ability to speak, with the thought that Davis may need the ex- tra help in his speeches next year. Sixth: To the school we give $300 in order that a new floor may be made between the shops and the of- fice since the old one is nearly worn out by the frequent trips of Mr. Dan- forth to the office. Seventh: To Sue Flick of the next class we bequeath with loving memo- ries Nina Celia Brigham ' s title of Tiny. Eighth: We direct that Mr. Stark find a person suitable to bear Mahrea Cramer ' s distinguished title of Santa Mahrea Cramer, 1 Artiste. Ninth: The money which the school appropriated for Roland Schmedel ' s tardy slips we give with pleasure to the art department in or- der that a more convenient board rack may be purchased. Tenth: Eliza Blair ' s Psyche we be- queath to any girl in the school who has not enough hair to make one of the new style tango puffs. Eleventh: Skeet Thornton ' s dancing pumps, we give to Lowell Cash, a January ' 15 senior, hoping that he will make as good use of them as Skeet has. Twelfth: To Shorty Sinclair we bequeath Dorland Henderson ' s steam so that in the next track meet Shorty will not get short-winded. Thirteenth: We give Tillman Peters Fliegenschmidt ' s gracefulness to any one . who intends to be the court jester for the next class. Fourteenth: Vincent P. King ' s Helene Sawyer glide we will to the January 1915 class to be presented as one of the most precious, original cre- ations of the June ' 14 class. Fifteenth: We give Donald KruH ' s acrobatic agility and megaphonic voice to his successor, whoever he may be. Sixteenth: The Pike boys ' generos- ity in measuring ice cream, we give to their successors in order that the popularity of ice cream may be kept up. Seventeenth: We direct that Rob- ert Stempfel ' s picture be enlarged and hung in a prominent place because we do not want our great leader in the great and merciless war against the fly, to be forgotten.

Stuart ex- ecutor of this, our last will and testa- ment. In witness whereof, we have here- unto subscribed our name this third day of June in the year of our Lord 1914. (Signed) Maurice E. Thornton, President. Effie M. Gaunt, Vice-president. Nina C. Brigham, Secretary. John Francis Trost, Treasurer. Quite True. When August days are rolling by And September ' s coming nigh, The High School kids all stop and cry, How vacation whizzes by! And when November comes around, And snow has covered all the ground, With snowballs ?!ways on the go, They say, Vacation comes so slow! But when Commencement comes at last, And all the Seniors they have passed. They wonder why, by all that ' s queer, The old school building seems so dear. — Thos. Earl Zinkan. MAURICE E. THORNTON President of June Class Calendar of June ' 14 Class. (By Nina Brigham.) Oct. 7, 1913 — Today our class be- came a classy class, and received the name of June ' 14, together with Skeet Thornton for president. Not a bad beginning. October 19 — The Pikes have at last distinguished themselves. While burning the midnight oil last night, Albert got into such close proximity with his student lamp, that a neat lit- tle patch of freckles hps appeared on his left temple. Oh! yes, and Charles parted his hair on the right side to- day while Albert parted his in the middle. We only hope they have not quarreled because Charles wanted to wear a pink tie and Albert an olive green. ' November 14 — Extra! This is this class ' s red letter day! Roland Schme- del got to school on time, and Elmer Iverson didn ' t have any occasion to put his foot down once on the green carpet, today! At this rate, we will soon be prepared to hear that Ralph Agnew is going to cut off his mous- tache. Jan. 26-Feb. 2 — This week marked a hurry-scurrying one for June sen-
