THE BOOSTER Ivy Day The custom of ivy planting was ob- served by the January 1916 class on November 3. William Ebaugh, the president, planted the ivy on the north side of the building. The class then assembled on the front steps, where the ivy day picture was taken. To music played by Esther Fisher, the class, led by the officers and the standard bearer, Hazel Foster, marched into the auditorium. William Ebaugh, in presenting the ivy to the school, said: The ivy is typical of the January 1916 Seniors. Its development and growth are em- blematic of our own growth. The ivy not only grows to the top of a wall, but also grows on, covering the wall with beauty and glory. So, the January 1916 class hopes its mission in the world will be to bring distinc- tion and honor to Manual Training High School. The creeping tendrils clinging to the walls will typify the clinging memories we have of our stay here; the older the ivy gets, the more tendrils appear; the longer we are away the more often will our minds revert to Manual, to these days of joy and happiness, to the tasks un- dertaken and the difficulties over- come. Mr. Stuart accepted the ivy in the name of the school. At the close of the exercises, Henry Moesch led the class in school and class yells. Class Day The class day of the January, 1916 ' s, was celebrated with the usual foolish- ness and fun on January 21. The frivolty opened with the class singing the class song written to the tune of My Moustache, by Constance Gay- nor. Ruth Stinson then read the class history in which she said that the members of the Jan. 1916 class, were a party of young aspirants who had started out four years ago in search of knowledge and now, after four years of earnest plodding, had reached the glorious summit. Follow- ing this. Constance Gaynor gave the class poem. A trio, Henry Moesch, Joseph Rarkham and Charles Lay, delighted the audience with the Sextet from Lucia. Lucille Wakeland then dis- closed everyone ' s future by reading the class prophecy. In his class will, Russell Mathias disposed of things of no more use to the January ' 16 class. A Senior quartette, composed of Joseph Barkham, Rollo Bruce, Charles Lay and Henry Moesch, gave a se- lection. The audience joined the class in singing On, Manual. The exercises closed with yells by the class. The class party was held in the gymnasium that evening. Dancing and games were the principal features. — E. M. Manual ' s Flower, Pin, Color Stand- ardized. A committee appointed shortly after the organization of the January 1916 class, has done much to standardize school colors, pin and flowers for Manual Training High School. The purpose of the committee was to pre- sent to the school the official school colors, so that everyone might know them, likewise to present the official pin, and suggest school flowers. The committee first took . up the question of the school flowers by sending a petition to Mr. Stuart, sug- gesting that, if it met with his ap- proval and were acceptable to the faculty, the red and the white carna- tions be adopted as the official school flowers. These flowers were unani- mously voted to be accepted by the faculty, because they have been used on special occasions for twenty years, match the school colors, are procur- able at all times of the year, and do not wither easily. With the consent of Mr. Stuart, the committee then made an effort to pre- sent the school pin, flowers and colors to the student body. The result was the decoration of the trophy case in the library. Mr. Dyer, an alumnus, kindly donated two pins for this pur- pose. With the help of one of the art teachers, the committee draped the white and cardinal ribbons, and placed in the case the two pins and some red and white carnations. | — Beatriz Miles.

THE BOOSTER The Class Play. Best play ever, was the opinion of those who saw Marguerite Mering- ton ' s dramatization of Snow White, presented by the January 1916 class, December 9 and 10. The Queen, Emma Leiss, with her changeable moods, played her part excellently. Eulan Tolin made an ideal Snow White. Her beauty and loving disposition won her not only the wrath of the Queen, her step- mother, but the love of the great Prince of Goldland, Charles Rohr- man. He was an ardent lover of Snow White from the time he saw her first when he came to the court as a pilgrim. In Russell Mathias, the Prince had a sleepy, lazy and devoted old tutor. A dignified, wise old man was the Lord Chancellor, Walker Bray. A lady of equal dignity and pride was Constance Gaynor as the Countess. Charles Lay, as Berthold, acted well the part of hunstman, when, saying whick whack, snicker snack, he whetted his knife on his boot top. The pages, Louise Stewart, Nina Dill- man, Lena Wickers, Grace Shock, Dorothy Kneale and Emily Rosner made nice little boys with their bobbed hair and white and red page suits. The Knights, Robert Hatfield and Joseph Barkham, were able cham- pions of the Queen. A pleasing ap- pearance was made by the Lords, Ernest Brunoehler, Milburn Fields, Ferdinand Stratton and Ralph Smith, and the ladies, Ruth Stinson, Ger- trude Lieske, Pearl Neal, Hazel Fos- ter, Marie Monter, Alma Kottlowski and Daisy White, in their gorgeous court costumes. The soldiers of the Prince, Fred Asperger, Paul Miller, William Ebaugh and Vernon Scott, and the Heralds, Harold Brady and Euengc Hopper, performed their duties very well. Norma Thorns took the part of the Voice of the Queen ' s magic mirror. Much of the wonder- ful effect of the mirror was due to her excellent, clear, sweet voice. Under the leadership of Blick, Icis Evans, the dwarfs, Pick, Adeline Fishman; Knick, Hilda Kohl; Strick, Dorothy Meek; Rick, Lucille Wake- land; Dick, Grace Shock; and Shick, Nina Dillman, were above criticism. Shick, the youngest, was a sympa- Caution ! Sh-h-h-h! Careful! Any one caught laughing or causing any undue dis- turbance while reading this Booster will be dealt with severely. The Booster editors arc on the page pre- ceding this. They arc tired. They need quiet and rest. Sh-h-h. thetic, lovable little fellow. They de- serve much praise for acting so natur- ally such difficult parts in the sorrow- ful scenes. The Manual Orchestra and the busi- ness staff of the play added much to its success. The stage managers were Paul Miller and Vernon Scott, and their assistants were Paul Swaisgood, Milburn Fields, Fred Asperger, Ray- mond Doud, Ralph Smith, Samuel McCann, Russell Etter and Frank Manker. The property committee was composed of Ferdinand Stratton, (chairman), Barbara Smith and Lil- lian Jones. The costume committee was composed of Esther Heuss (chairman), Julia Weghorst. Gladys Murphy, Irene Blythe, Ursula Hirsch- man, Edna Claffey, Frieda Wingen- roth, Helen Trost, Lillian Nacken- horst and Esther Fisher. The busi- ness manager was Otto Schoellkopf.
