This issue of the Booster is the parting shot, as it were, of the Jan- nary ' 16 class at those of the students whose graduation day is yet to come. The class has endeavored to make this an issue of value to the under- classmen as well as to themselves. It is meant to instill the true Man- ual Training High School spirit into those yet in school, as a guide to the school ' s organization; as a record of their activities; and as an explanation of the spirit which prompted their formations. It is intended to serve as a history of the class, to tell what, it has done, what place the school holds in the seniors ' hearts, what the school has done for them and why they love it. The class has also managed to make this issue one of special value to themselves. It has been said that high school years are the four happiest years of one ' s life. One seldom realizes this until graduation. Granting that this is true, however, the natural tendency would be to secure some reminder of those four years. As a memento of this sort what is better than a special issue of the school paper which has been your comrade during your high school life — an issue gotten out in your honor, an issue full of the life of your class, an issue telling of the or- ganizations you have known and par- ticipated in — an issue you have helped publish? — S. L To the Underclassmen. It happens very often in this life that we can easily profit by the mis- takes of others or by their sugges- tions. It was with this thought in mind that the Booster obtained letters and interviews from several seniors in reply to this question, If you were to have the chance of taking your high school training over, what things would you do differently? The Booster publishes the gist o f a few of the replies. From a senior girl: I should not try to get out of taking gymnasium, for I now realize that those seniors who advised me not to take ' gym, ' ad- vised me wrongly. I missed not only a good time, but the many benefits ac- quired by taking physical training. From a senior boy: I should try to take a greater part in school activities. I might take part in athletics; I might join the Forum, the L. L. L. club, or the Booster staff. From other seniors: I should make an attempt to be more friendly with my schoolmates, for they arc the ones with whom I must associate in the future. Underclassmen, what do you think of these decisions? Don ' t you believe that you could profit by them? Try to do so. It will pay you handsomely.

10 THE BOOSTER Extracts from the Class Prophecy By Lucile Wakeland Here it is, 1921, five years gone by; and I am nothing but a crystal gazer. Crystal gazing is not so popular as it once was, but it is still interesting. I can look back and see the old class of January sixteen, the most promi- nent, the less prominent, and those we never heard from at all. How very naturally I see Miss Burnside, our class sponsor, look- ing over mottoes for another Janu- ary class; and she is r eading over our old motto, High Aims Form High Characters. I wonder what has hap- pened to all my old classmates, and what they are doing now. In my crystal I see Paul Swaisgood, a noted electrician, who promises to rival the world-famous Marconi. How strange is this to see! Iris Tripeer running a dancing school for crippled soldiers in England! That is good practice for both parties. And why does the Kaiser come into my picture and who is he talking to? Well! Well! If it isn ' t our old friend, Hienie Moesch. The Kaiser prob- ably heard of Hienie ' s famous yell, Vas is Das! and asked him to coach his army so that they might show more enthusiasm. What a quick change! Back in a small New York town. Who is draw- ing such a crowd? Some street stump orator who looks natural. How strangely he walks away! I didn ' t recognize him until he limped away and found it was no other than Rollo Bruce. He still has his favorite limp as a stall, and he surely ought to make good with that. Oh! I see Louise, our vice-presi- dent, happily married. Surely not to Joe Barkham, our bright and shining light? But maybe. Joe always was devoted to Louise in Training school. Strange things have happened to the old members. Here is Paul Church living a retired life off the royalties he received from a collar he designed. The collar is tall enough so that he can give, when wearing it. the whole world the impression of never seeing anyone. But I am traveling west again far enough to find Nina Dillman, now Mrs. Brady, living in Davenport, la. Well, the whole school knew her sole ambition was to live in Davenport. And see! right in the heart of Glen- vi lle is a store. Guarantee Fat Co. Mildred Riedl, Ruth Stinson and Alma Kottlowski, proprietors. And in order to make more money they hired Elizabeth Moore as advertising- agent. Strictly one night stand shows. W r hat a queer sign and in Hickville, Hickville opera house; Paul Miller sole owner, advertising manager, ticket seller, usher, stage hand and janitor. That is surely what he should have followed after his won- derful ability at shifting scenery in the class play. The lately crowned King of the Banana Industry, is Bill Ebaugh. Some one of that profession must have seen Bill in his attractive sol- dier suit in the class play. However, a truly well established member whom I see, is Samuel Mc- Cain, who in his early days at Manual established a record for cloud moving. As the United States needed just such an experienced man, he got a life job pushing stars around looking for daylight. Now wouldn ' t it be great fun to go back these five years and live our Senior year over, and once more at- tend class meetings? But remember- ing all and seeing all the old familiar faces in my crystal makes me forget my years and remember that wonder- ful class of January Sixteen. BOOSTER HONOR ROLL.
