THE BOOSTER OPEN DAY— FRIDAY, JUNE 5 As the close of another school year draws near, the parents of the pupils attending Manual Training high school, naturally begin to wonder what their boys and girls have ac- complished. In order to satisfy the curiosity of the said parents, Mr. Stu- art has selected Friday, June 5, as the day on which the work of the pupils of this school will be on exhibition. The Booster has endeavored to pub- lish a brief summary of the work of some of the departments of the school. Open Day in Pattern Making. Whatever you do, do not miss the pattern making room open day where will be one of the greatest ex- hibits ever put out in any high school shop in the U. S. A. Some of the best patterns on special exhibi- tion are the big centrifugal fan to be used in the mill room, the new dyna- mo and motor for the applied elec- tricity course, and the two and four cycle motors. The exhibit includes the details in the construction of these patterns, skeleton, elbows, belt shifters, globe valves, anvil bases, brass door knockers and many oth- ers. In order to give the right impres- sion of the Mechanical Drawing De- partment and its work, Mr. Hiser has planed a new scene for the people to look upon. One room will be ar- ranged with drawing boards and in- struments in place, ready for mem- bers of the class to take their places. In another room the class will be seen working in the usual way. The main room will contain the exhibi- tion of drawing, tracing, lettering, some examples in script signatures and very attractive displays of archi- tectural drawings, water colors and details. The department has made arrangements to distribute souve- nirs, the making of which will lend great assistance in the displaying of the new automatic blue print ma- chine. The tracings and designs for the souvenirs were prepared by Des- mond Vawter, Forest Lancaster, Daniel Maholm and Robert Hats- field. The Forge Shop display will in- clude several types of lamps, jarde- nier stands, umbrella holders, luggage carriers, bicycle stands, etc. On Exhibition. Something out of the ordinary is to be ex ' hibited in room 20 this week. It is to be pictures of men and women and their ways of dressing beginning with the 14th century. These pic- tures show that in 1550 it was stylish to wear boards that extended two feet around the hips. In 1580 the first high stiff standing collars began to be worn. From 1588 to 1620 the men dressed gorgeously in gaily colored satin coats and knee breeches with silk hose to match. In the seventeenth century the ladies wore hoop skirts and large headdress. 1830 was the year when the men began to wear long trousers for the first time, while the women began wearing poke bonnets. From 1850 to 1870 the ladies in the illustrations look absolutely de- formed. The bustles and tight jer- sey came into existence in 1886. These last till the end of the nine- teenth century when the Bell skirts became popular. Our own styles come at the end of the row of pictures. If you want to see them for yourself, don ' t forget room 20. — R. S. The girls in the cooking depart- ment will sell lemonade and cake to the footsore visitors. Miss Perkins ' expression class will give a program of selections in the auditorium Friday during the eighth period. Everybody is invited. The Gym. students will give an ex- hibition of folk dances and drills un- der the direction of Miss Smith and Mr. Schissel at 1:30 Friday and Sat- urday in the gymnasium.

THE BOOSTER was so great that the majority of them flooded the streets. Don Krull, our senior yell leader for the track meet, did such good work that we ' ve already provided him with a doctor and liniment for tomorrow. May 18— The cast of The Turn of the Road today received their first contribution in the vegetable line, which promises more in the near fu- ture. The} received the name of cab- bageheads. We wonder that, since practice makes perfect, why Orville D. Dur- yer Wells does not make a better lov- er in the play. Also we wonder if Thomas Mitchell received the part of the villain because of his previously -mblotched character, thus allowing him to give vent to unused feelings, and Carl Lyman, the part of the sweet, suffering hero, because of — er — rather embarrassing former posi- tions. He ' s All Right! Confronting that awful mob he stood, A Senior, grand to see. The questions burst about his head, But all undaunted he. Up spake a cruel Junior then, Oh, laggard one! he cried, Why have you never moved the earth, Nor ever even tried? My answer, said the ancient one In tones that all might hear, Is, Wonder why it rains so much When really it should clear? But tell, a sophomore then said, Where did you find the time To make such awful Booster stuff, With such an awful rime? My answer is, the words came clear And sharp above the din, If Scotty hadn ' t sprained his leg, Do you suppose we ' d win But say, then cried a freshie fresh, Who put the money up For that last hop, and why do you With malefactors sup? I make reply, the Senior said, k Resorting to no tricks, Do you prefer four cylinders, Or do vou favor six? Hurrah! Hurrah! his friends all cried As round his feet they fly. He ' s answered all and now he stands A vindicated guy. — Joseph Barkham. Two Comedies. Scene — Room 12. Enter Scott Coffman with suitcase. Approaches Julia Miller. Well, I guess I won ' t see you any more. Julia: O, Scott, are you going away? Won ' t I ever see you any- more? Where are you going? Scott: Out to the State Fair Grounds. (By r permission E. G., E. D.) Scene — Room 42. 8th hour. Fannie Spillman in convulsed laughter attempting to recite The Rose That Grew Too High For Me. Miss Perkins: Keep your poise, Fannie. Fannie: Well, I can ' t when Rob- ert looks at me that way. — O Piffle....! Lost — That dear little dog that res- cued my fire insurance policy wrapped in a wet towel from my burning home. If found please re- turn to Curtis Carl. We ' re all dead now; in other words, we have all been shot; well, if you can ' t get that, we ' ve had our pictures taken. Let ' s see — it ' s been so long we ' ve forgotten who it was that Elmer Iver- son took to the Forum banquet. Have you seen the star gazers? Where? They read the Star every morning in the rear of Room 10. Helen McCray: Why do they call Charlotte Milton ' Squaw ' ? Miss Emery: Because she is Miss Chief (mischief). Miss Perkins: All your words live. Wallace Krieg: How about obso- lete words?

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.
