(passionately) — O such a beauty, she sat like patience on a monument, smiling at me — Hor. — Hah! love is blind and lovers cannot see the pretty follies they themselves commit. Rob. — On the car this morning, her voice was ever soft, gentle and low. Hor. — Conceit in weakest bodies strongest works. Rob. (angrily) — Whilst thou livest keep a good tongue in thy head. Hor. — Words, words, mere words, no matter from the head. Why do you admire this creature? ' Twill be another in the week. Rob.— O, slander! Whose edge is sharper than the sword. I am as constant as the northern star. To you, Horatio, I say, that man that has a tongue is no man if with that tongue he cannot win a woman. Hor. — Things sweet to taste, prove in digestion sour. Rob. — Yet, my endeavors have ever come short of my desires. Hor. — What a piece of work is a man. (Exit). Rob. — All ' s well that ends well, still, the finis is the girl. (Third bell, exit Rob.)

THE BOOSTER OPEN DAT OPEN day has been held here every year, since the school opened in 1895, when at the close of the term, Mr. Emmerich, the founder and first principal of M. T. H. S., decided to have a special day on which the work of the pupils would be exhibited, so that parents might see what their boys and girls had ac- complished. The first open day ex- hibit was given in the school library, and it was so well attended by the parents of pupils, that it was made a permanent feature of the school ' s cal- endar. Today is the first open day given for two years, as the last one was held in June, 1914. An exhibition of many novel pieces of art metal work in copper and silver is to be found in the art department, room 21. The first after school credit class was started last January, by Miss West, but this is the first chance the class has had to show the many original projects that are being made. A copper chafing dish, a candle sconce, hinges, drawer pulls, paper knives, various kinds of boxes, and book ends are some of the pieces of art metal work that are on exhibition. Advanced cabinet making and turn- ing are combined in the numerous wood projects which are being ex- hibited today in the wood turning rooms. The late change in the wood working course has made these more complicated pieces of furniture pos- sible. The foundry, machine shop, and forge shop all are having their pro- ject exhibits in the room ordinarily used for automobile repairing. All three shops are having the regular metal projects on exhibition, and in addition, the foundry has a bronze Phi Delta Theta shield made by Roy Anderson, a cup, saucer, and spoon, cast in one piece in aluminum, and an aluminum safety razor blade sharp- ener. The Manual exhibit recently shown at the State House has been placed in the same room with the metal projects. Complete farm gas engine patterns are being shown in the pattern-making room. The pat- terns are arranged so as to resemble the finished engine. The exhibition in the Sewing de- partment is much the same as in former years, excepting that some of the girls are wearing the dresses that they have made this semester. This way of exhibiting the dresses is a new feature.

THE BOOSTER PRESENTS! WILLIAM ' S family loved to give presents. This was true not only of his immediate family, but of all the host of uncles, aunts, grandparents, and first to forty-sec- ond cousins, that comprised his list of relatives. Now of course William was perfectly aware that gift giving is not a crime; in fact he was nothing if not an anti-Spug. But when a fel- low has received four hundred eighty- one gifts and it is yet seven days until graduation he is apt to be a bit pessi- mistic. Then there was another cause for worry besides the superabundance; that was the repetition of presents. From previous birthdays and Christ- mases he had long since learned just what to expect from each person: ties from grandmother, aunt Ella, and uncle Ed; shirts from grandfather, cousin Lola, and mother; handker- chiefs from the twins, cousin Ruth, and Dick; books from father and uncle Roy. He could tell without any trouble just what to expect in 1948. It was while seated on top of the wardrobe (there wasn ' t room for him anywhere else) that he took an in- ventory of his possessions. It was as follows : 1 watch, 6 watch chains, 13 watch charms, 8 knives, 11 tie pins, 28 shirts — actual count, 19 pairs of socks, 350 handkerchiefs — William counted these in lots of 25 each, 4 sets of cuff links. 31 books — from A Six Cylinder Courtship to Essays of Elia, 3 bath robes, 7 pairs of bedroom slippers — green, black, purple, orange, yellow, brown and pink. (The bathrobes were errav, red and black plaid, and blue.) The outlook was awful! He had been receiving presents for three days only. At this rate he was doomed to receive eight hundred six- teen more handkerchiefs, fifty-nine more shirts, fourteen watch chains, etc., etc. The only consolation was that he might eventually get slippers to match a bathrobe, or visa versa. And as William jumped from the wardrobe, and upset the socks while trying to dodge the handkerchiefs, he mentally concluded that there was only one thing to do. And that was to start a hope-box. EXTRACTS FROM WILL Second: To the library, we will one-half dozen copies of the book by Fred Glossbrenner on How to Stall in Any Class. It is a book of deep penetration. Fourth: To the freshmen, we will the many long-lost determinations which we have made to get better marks. Fifth: To Hugh Davey. we will a reliable alarm clock, in order that he may be recalled to life in time enough to leave his history class. Sixth: To Ike McClain. we will ten feet of adhesive tape, which shall en- able him to remain close to mother earth when he leads a yell. Seventh: To the present and com- ing students of M. T. H. S., we will that desire, which we had for some time, to get out of Manual. As the hour of death approaches and the magnitude of our sins and short-com- ings loom up before us in the form of a threatening hand, the fear of death is upon us, and we vainly cry for a chance to remain and try again. Eighth: To coming students, we will a classified list, especially pre- pared for us by such popular students as Edward Gass, Alvah Heskett and Charles Goth, telling the courses which are easiest to get by in. If this preparation is properly appre- ciated there is no reason for anyone stumbling on such subjects as trigo- nometry and chemistry. Ninth: To some deserving under- classman, we bequeath the wonderful vitality of Leon Rogers. We believe that anyone who has vitality enough to carry him through Physics II for three terms, while the average boy succumbs after the first attack, has a vitality which should not be neglected or overlooked. Tenth: To Mr. Stuart, we will one- half dozen best grade leather halters. to be at the disposal of those young men who are so fond of leading their lad}- loves about the halls of Manual. Eleventh: To Ringling Brothers ' circus, we bequeath Donald Cayton. Although Donald will be missed among his friends, it is our belief he will be much more at home among the monkevs and other animals.
