10 THE BOOSTER below. The strangest thing was the fact that the women all wore their hair down their backs. Following the direction of the Senators gazes, I beheld Norris Wagaman, her hair also down her back, standing in the isle delivering a speech. Gentlemen, she said, would you desire to see your wives, sisters, friends or daughters always wearing their hair down their backs. (Groans from one part of the gallery in which I saw Bill Appel, Everett Dunn, Eugene Ehrgott and Earl Goodnough. Sobs and tears from Herman Hederich). We must ha.ve hair pins, continued Norris, but we refuse to pay such prices. Gentlemen, the hearts of all true Americans cry out against this greatest wrong of the century, the monopoly of the hair pin industry. The house was in an uproar. Some of the women were sobbing, some clapping their hands, some vainly asking to be recognized by the chairman. Above it all I heard the base voice of Emmet Kelly, the chairman, loudly calling for order. Still the babel continued, while Louis Henchen, Carl Paulisson and Clarence Budd in the gallery frowned disgustedly at the proceedings of the fairer sex. , In front of the women ' s side of the house was a table with several cages of mice on it. Pointing to these, Kelly again called for order and threatened to release the mice on the floor of the Senate if the women didn ' t come to order. Immediately the house came to order; women stopped their hysterical actions and began dabbing their reddened faces with powder puffs while my friends in the gallery sneezed in the ascending clouds of talcum powder. Forest McAlpin then tried to make a speech in the defense of the hair pin trust, but the speech was drowned in the hisses of Geraldine Gibson, Edna Gassert, Lucille Lipps and others in the gallery. I departed glad that our nation was in the hands of such competent managers. We next passed through the Smithsonian Institute. In one of the museums, I saw Charlotte Uhl, Dorothy Albright and Marjorie Stewart. This sight van- ished before I could find out whether they were waiting for someone, as they used to do in the corridors a,t Manual Training, or were a part of the museum. Behind a window of a little shop, I saw the beaming face of Taylor Obold. On a sign outside were printed the words, Ladies Tailor. Mag, I said, this rapid transit has worn me out. Can ' t you just tell me what the remaining of my Senior friends will be doing. I wouldn ' t ask, but you seem to know everything without having to go to E. M. T. H. S. to learn it. That ' s alright, said the magie, we ' ll return to your room first. No sooner had he said it than we were in my room, from which we had set out. The magie bore the look of a, spiritualist when communing with visions of the future, and he soon began the story of what he saw. 1 see, he said, Gertrude Lehman giving dancing lessons to a class in which Walter Hiser is star pupil. Leona Foppiana is in a convent and is just asking the prioress to let her organize a basket ball team. Ross Mullen works in a laundry in the day time and calls on the authoress, Gladys Benson, in the evening. The magie stopped talking. That is the end, said he. I have told you of the future of every member of your class. Mag, said I, whether you ' re a genie, a devil, an angel, or simply the pro- duct of my own imagination, I don ' t know. At any rate you ' re a good sport, and I ' m obliged to you for all your trouble. You ' re welcome, said the magie, but before I go wouldn ' t you like to see what your own future will be? No! no! for heaven ' s sake, no! I know you must be tired and I wouldn ' t think of troubling you, I said, pushing him toward the door. Good bye, then, said the magie, laughing, and he vanished before we reached the door. This concludes the story of my strange experience. I have rubbed the lamp since that time, but the magie never appeared. I therefore do not want you to believe the story, for in my sanest moments I scarcely believe it myself. This much, however, I shall say. If the future here prescribed is not in accord- ance with your present ambition, just put forth a little effort and I think you can avoid the fate which the magie seems to have in store for you.

That is, no longer boys and girls, but young men and young women. And as men and women you will help to determine the trend of municipal and national feeling, think- ing and acting. Now, as never before, this feeling, thinking and acting should not be done on the surface. It should not be done frivolously. Your class play, class day, dances and parties, with all their fun, legiti- mate fun, in which the faculty and students shared, are things of the past. Now comes the commencement sea- son, a time for looking forward seri- ously into the future. It is to be hoped that this thinking will be so done that there will be less likelihood in the fu- ture of the President of the United States and other leaders of the nation, finding difficulty in impressing the people with the serious import of a crisis such as we are passing through now. The editors of the Senior Boosters and the June ' 17 class wish to extend their thanks to those who have aided in making this issue a success. The Art Department has aided in making posters and by giving valuable advice. The Booster staff has aided in copy- ing and rewriting articles. Carl Zim- merman designed the zinc etchings used throughout the issue. Finally, to those who have aided by handing in articles and pictures, we wish to ex- tend our thanks. We are indebted for the photographs to the McKelvey and Myers, Bretzman, and Nicholson studios. Senior Honor Roll. During 7 Semesters — Irma Gulley. During 6 Semesters — Ruth Sanders, Helen Smith.
