THE BOOSTER 15 ROINES CLUB ROIMES CLUB DURING the past two terms, the Roines Club has been one of the most active senior organizations in the school. There are at present twenty-seven members of the club, none of whom has received less than a B in any of his studies during his sen- ior year. The purpose of the club is well expressed in its motto — All together, all the time, for a greater M. T. H. S. Every member in the club has the good of the school at heart, and it is thru such fellows as these that the club has been so successful in its work. Among the many things under- taken by the club was the paint- ing of fire exit signs in every room of the building. The club made the large Booster chart that stood in the main corridor at the beginning of this semester. The Roines boys mad« the new metal home lunch checks which were recently substituted for the old paper checks that were so easily lost. The members also ush- ered at the corner stone laying of the new library now under construction. MANUAL MAXIMS Let a sleeping senior lie. All that glitters is not class pins. Birds of a feather eat together. It is no sin to dodge the class treasurer. Misfortune is a good teacher, but she always gives you a D. Speed and cops and repose, Slammed the jail door on Doc Bray- ton ' s nose. Strike while the iron is hot, but don ' t pick it up. Seniors will remember their powers, for a little learning is a dangerous thing. The treasurer is a cloud. Every cloud has a silver lining. A cat may look at a king, but not a senior. Never venture, never flunk. A poor senior complains of his marks. Time is money, says the freshman as he speeds down the hall. Have you ever been cornered in the blind alleys on the second and third floors by a wild senior girl with a class book?

14 THE BOOSTER MASOMA CLUB ORGANIZED in January of nine- teen-thirteen, the Masoma Club of Manual still flourishes. Miss Emery, Mrs. Rehm and Miss Donnan were the first sponsors, but as Miss Donnan left school, she was succeeded by Miss Hyde. With the main thought the big sister movement, the purpose of the organization is to promote the welfare of the school by helping to make the girls happy, well-contented and more valuable. Only those girls who have completed English V, who have an average of B, who are recom- mended by two of the faculty, and who are in sympathy with the organi- zation, are eligible. With the interest of the freshmen girls at heart, each Masoma takes a number under charge and looks after them as a big sister would. The members also help the freshmen teachers as far as possible. One plan of the Masomas ' for getting the fresh- men acquainted with Manual, is to have freshmen parties each term. The meetings of the club are held on alternate Monday afternoons, where regular business affairs are attended to and then a social hour enjoyed. Each semester the club is entertained at the home of one of its members and an annual picnic in the spring closes the activities. FILLUP FRIBBLES. Yes, this has been one momentous year. With Shakespeare celebrations and athletics, the correspondents of the Star and Times are writing so much that they say that they will be able to buy Packard Twin Sixes soon. We suppose that Bob and Felix mean Packard size twelve shoes and not automobiles. You know we can ' t please every- body.

16 THE BOOSTER IVY DAT IN their Ivy Day exercises held on May 5, the June, ' 16, class departed from the usual custom by having a speaker. The address was given by William Watson Woollen, a man singularly qualified to talk on such an occasion. Mr. Woollen chose for his topic, The Significance of Arbor Day. He discussed at some length the planting of trees to honor persons and to commemorate events. W r hat a beautiful thing, he said, it would be if each of the June graduates would plant a tree to celebrate the occasion. There are several large gardens in which all of the trees are planted by famous persons. Part of Mr. Wool- len ' s talk was devoted to the correct and incorrect methods of planting trees and shrubbery. Plants should not be jammed into a small hole, but they should be put into a hole large enough to allow the roots to be spread out. In conclusion Mr. Wool- len made a plea for clean living and thinking, saying that although he was nearly 80 years of age, he had never been ill but once and that was re- cently. In his recent illness, he re- covered because of his strength de- rived from clean living. All of his knowledge of birds and plants was gained after he was fifty years of age, the speaker declared, so it is not too late for the members of the June class to start their study. Following the address Vera Flick and Mary Harter played a piano duet; and a quartet composed of Clay Gullion, Gordon Crose, Harry McCoy, and Stanley Ryker sang. Ruth Newby and Ruth Kugelman wrote the Ivy Day songs. ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The rather unusual photographs in this issue, with one or two exceptions, are by Chester Thompson.

CLASS HISTORY If you ' ll send your minds a journeyin ' Back along our traveled path, And jest let them sorta wander Twixt the English an ' the math, An ' the parties an ' the meetin ' s An ' the dances, an ' the things That we all wish to remember, Why — your heart jest surely sings. You kin fairty believe your sittin ' Fer our first meet long ago; Can ' t you hear Miss Knox a sayin ' Now folks, jest you take things slow. Jest go slow and choose a leader That kin do the work up fine. Choose a feller than kin manage, Choose a feller with a spine. An ' then you will remember How when Manker wuz put in That he jest couldn ' t say a thing But only stand and grin. How he stood there kinda tremblin ' Timid like upon the floor Until he took the stiff ' nin ' Out o ' his pompadour. The Roines club party Wuz the next thing in the line. Those fellers fixed things dandy — It certainly wuz fine. Friend Monniger wuz dressed up With his shirt so full of starch That he had to watch the ceilin ' All thru the long grand march. An ' then jest send your mem ' ry To a night in o ' Room 10, When a mighty howl was started By all the Irish men. It was green each feller wanted An ' ' twas green they got at last — An ' may it dazzle classes ' eyes When we have gone and past. Then Ivy Day came wanderin ' Into our scheduled path, An ' some got out of English An ' some got out of math. We stood outside the buildin ' While Manker used the spade, And watched him plant the Ivy Within the hole he made. John Brayton has bought two pairs of shoes since he got pinched for speeding.
