THE BOOSTER Harris McGuire. President of Forum The Forum of 1914-15. By Julian O. Witham. One of the most active and interest- ing societies in connection with the student body of the school this year is the Manual Training High School Forum. Every session has been a busy one, and mam- of them have been of especial interest. At the be- einninz of this present year, Senator McGuire introduced a joint resolution in which a former suffrage bill was to be repealed, but the measure failed because of the suffrage sentiment. At a later date, Senator Perk ' s bill pro- viding for a U. S. Central Bank was passed. The most engrossing business of the first part of the present year, how- ever, was the trial of Senator John- son. The attorneys for the prosecu- tion, Senators Beitman and Witham, charged the defendant with malfea- sance of office, because he had forged the name of Senator Beitman to a bill. But Senators DeVore and Davis won their case from the jury on a plea of sympathy, and Judge Sydney S. Aron- son handed down the verdict in favor oi the defendant. At a later sess Senators Witham and Davis succeed- ed in passing, by an overwhelming majority, a bill providing for the abolishment of capital punishment. Senator Binzer s bill providing for the teaching of military training in the high schools, and a bill providing for increasing the standing army and navy, were lost because of the senti- ment against militarism. The debate upon a bill providing for all-steel railway coaches led to personalities, which culminated in the famous ' Witham-Davis conspiraey trial. Senator Davis was charged with having been unduly influenced by the U. S. Steel Corporation for the support of the bill. Senator Witham and Senator Perk prosecuted the case and Senator Aronson was counsel for the defendant. Senator Witham ' s bill creating a U. S. Tariff Commission was passed in spite of violent opposi- tion on the part of a few members representing big: business. ' A wire- less resrulation bill was laid on the table because such a measure was re- garded as unnecessary at the present time. Senator Clary ' s prohibition bill was almost lost at the regular ses- sion of the Forum on account of vari- ous attempts at filibustering, but it was finally oassed, almost on the mo- ment of adjournment. Senator Aron- son served as president of the body for two of the four terms of office since last fall. Senator Beitman occu- pied the chair throughout the third term, and Senator R. Harris McGuire ; the retiring president. A Freshman ' s W5«=K I wish I wuz a Senior. So knowinsr, smart an ' tall. An ' not a little Freshman. A roamin ' ' bout the hall.

THE BOOSTER 9 Roines was not organized, however, for the sole purpose of aiding fresh- men. Their purpose is to help when needed, to boost everything that is worthy of boosting, and in this way increase the efficienc - of Manual. With this point of view in mind the boys during the last year gave two informal parties in the gym. The parties had the desired effect. People became acquainted. The worry from studies was taken off the pupils ' minds and they were better able to resume their studies after the recrea- tion. Indirectly, also, Roines has another purpose and benefit which is para- mount to the others. As the require- ments for membership are rather stringent and as it is somethine of an honor to belong to the club, the un- derclassmen strive to do better work in order that they may be admitted into the club when the}- are seniors. Roines is a chain, which draws all :o that plane of higher grades, hieher ideals, and better conduct which all make a greater M. T. H. S. and in the end better, bigger and r. : : er rr.tr:. The officers of the present club are as follows: George A. Davis, pres- ident: John Lenahan, vice-president: I issefl Johnson, treasurer; Cushman Hoke, secretary : Sidney Aronson, publicity man, and Robert Whipkus, sersreant-at-arms.

Now, Jeff an ' me hadn ' t alius been the best of friends, cauz we got interduced in a fight back in a little minin ' town some years ago. We ended that fight in about two hours, when we took up the international peace movement, and we have been good friends ever since (mainly be- cause no one knows which is the best man of the two). When Jeff saw me, he came up with a grizzly hug in each paw, and I be- ne would have kissed me right then and there, only I gue- afraid that the sweet erirl cashier, who extracts the quarters from you as you go out, would get jealous and want him to kiss her, too. Jeff wuz too wise an old jay to risk any such a scene as that in a perfectly respectable hash- house. So Jeff contented himself with a few slaps and kicks directed to dif- ferent parts of my anatomy, and told me to come over to his stall and guz- zle a few pancakes with him. I couldn ' t refuse such a friend as Jeff, so I went over to inhale a few of his lies about his experiences. I knew they vruz comin ' , cauz I hadn ' t been set down with him five minutes before he sprung a stor}- about a fishin ' trip he took about a year ago. Jeff said he went up here to Musky- lunge Lake for his fishin ' spree. Now, he said, there wuz so durned many fish in that lake that there wuz hardly water enoueh to get in amongst them. And if a feller was feelin ' able to take the trip, that you could walk across on their backs. In fact, it just made me sick to think what I had missed by not goin ' up there to live long ago. I let Jeff talk ' till his gasoline com- menced to run low. and I saw that he wnz srettin ' pale around the gills from exhaustion, before I said anything. And then I sez: I don ' t hardly know whether to believe this or jest call it a darned lie. Jeff. And when I that, old Jeff just reversed and then shifted gears and put her in high and (Cootimted on Pa e 11)
