THE BOOSTER To the Ivy. True to the custom of Manual lore, Of the many classes gone before, Faithful to rule, to her teachings loyal, We plant thee deep in her sacred soil. Grow, O Ivy, strong and high, And the lives of all of us typify, Unfold to us from thy tender leaves, As a magic teacher who spins and weaves, The woof, the warp, perfection blent, To the finished mission of God ' s in- tent. We plant thee, Ivy, with love and hope, Faith in the future, with the world to cope. Lift up thy head, expand and grow, As classes come and classes go. Fill thy place on this honored wall, An inspiration and a joy to all. Teach us endurance through storm and strife, For thou art emblem of a faithful life. Cling to Manual ' s weathered walls, Let us revere her hallowed halls. And as thine, secure in thy lofty height, May our view of life be clear and bright. ' Tis not by story or metered ryhme, We climb the wall to the heights sub- lime, But striving with constant effort, we In emulation turn to thee; To learn from thee the thought, Excel, To grasp our mission, to fill it well. We dedicate thee, Ivy Green, Class of June Nineteen Fifteen, From ' neath this Ivied shelter here, Stepping forth in a broader sphere, Deeds not Words our life ' s en- deavor, Manual green in our hearts forever. — Owen Tarleton. Keep it up, Frances, you sure will make (one) grand mother-in-law. Wow!!! Class Day One of the liveliest class days which Manual has ever known, was cele- brated by the June ' 15 Seniors on Wednesday, May 18. The exercises, which were held in the auditorium during the seventh and eighth hours,, were opened by a selection by the Senior orchestra, whose merits are well known. Halford Udell and Manley Spouse then sang an origi- nal duet, entitled Weber G. De Vore ' s Pompadour. This was fol- lowed by the reading of the Class His- tory by Owen Tarleton, historian, and a recitation by John Cheney. Richard Stout, class prophet, next entertained the audience by reading the class pro- phecy, In which he prophesied all sorts of wonderful things to be, for differ- ent members of the class. The next number on the program was the reci- tation of the class poem, by the class poet, Owen Tarleton. The class will,, by DeWitt Cromwell, was then read, and next in line of order came a song by David Irwin; declamation, by Carry Jones, and xylophone solo, by Otto Mueller. An interesting feature of the exercises was the presentation of gifts by Gray Travis and Louis Haerle to different members of the class. After several selections bv the orchestra, the Seniors ended their ex- ercises by giving the class yells. — Ruth Jasper. As Rare as a Senior Caught Loitering. Mary Mitchell out of trouble.

THE BOOSTER Ivy Day Ivy day was celebrated by the June ' 15 class on Friday, April 30, the mem- bers of the Jan. ' 16 class and the post- graduates being present. After John Lenahan, of the June class, had plant- ed the ivy vine, the class, led by the officers, marched into the auditorium through the stage entrance, with an or- chestra of senior boys furnishing the music. The program opened with the singing, by the senior class, of the Ivy Song, written by Ethel Crawford. President John Lenahan in a short speech in which he compared the class to the growth of the vine, presented the ivy to the school. Mr. Stuart in his acceptance said that the class was following a custom which had come down through history from the early Egyptians, who had dedicated the ivy to certain gods. He spoke of the good the ivy did the school, taking the moisture from the building, support- ing it, and beautifying it. He ex- pressed his appreciation, not only of this gift, but of the many other things which he said the class had done and would do for Manual. He told of his expectations for the members of the class, saying that, though his ideals were high, he felt sure that each mem- ber could and would reach them and bring honor and fame to Training school. Margaret Winters then sang a solo, Owen Tarleton gave his ivy poem, and after a song by David Irwin, John Lenahan presented the silver trowel with which he had planted the ivy, to William Ebaugh, president of the Jan. ' 16 class. In his acceptance Ebaugh promised, in the name of his class, to continue the custom of planting the ivy vine. The June class then sang an Ode to a Violet, their class flow- er, and closed the exercises with the school yells, led by Dale Miller. The class left the auditorium with a feel- ing of sorrow that their high school days would soon end, but with a de- sire to do greater things for old M. T. The members feel that they have distinguished their ivy day by being the first class to plant their ivy on the east side of the building, so that they may, as Mr. Stuart said, beautify the back of the building as well as the front. — Marie Mueller.
