THE BOOSTER FOLLTE? John Fitzgerald says he plays the silly-phone in the orchestra. For Boys Only — (Read backwards) Didn ' t you if, girl a be wouldn ' t you: this read would you knew we. My poor man, have you no friends? No, madam; I was personal editor of the Senior Booster. Taylor Obold: Sadie, lend me your balloon? Sadie: No, honey, I can ' t. Just to show our bravery, we are going to put in Sara Jane Day ' s name. Good luck, Sara! Another thing can sure be said about Taylor Obold; he looked his part. Dewey Fitch ' s sleeping average is still 1,000 per cent. Special Notice. Anybody happening into the gym. Friday night would have found the tow-path at Fairview reproduced ex- cellently. Little John, in dressing room Friday night: A pin, a pin, or I shall come on too late! Emmet Kelley: Now, folks, we are going to have a 24-page Senior Booster (applause). The question is, do you want the pages to be blank? Louie Henschen: Well, they ' d be easier to read. As Charlotte Uhl remarked: The way some of the Seniors go into the air about class expenses qualifies them for the aviation corps. ' Isn ' t this an awful Herbert Hill: picture of me? Peg Stewart: I don ' t know, can ' t fool a camera. You All those desirous of renting dress suits, may apply to Lester Moreland, an experienced renter. To J. B. N. It takes a lot of nerve, I guess, To do a lot of things; To make a monkey of yourself, And do those crazy-flings. To come before an audience, Clad in another ' s clothes, Must take an awful lot of cheek, And cause some awful woes. To read those wills and histories, Must take a lot of pluck; Especially when you must know That escape will be just luck. But to give the names of lots of guys, Each a party to some case, And then to join their very throng, And even set the pace — That takes far more than nerve or pluck; We don ' t know what the virtue is; We haven ' t named it yet, at all, But Fuzzy Nelson ' s made it his. MORAL. Next time you feel inclined to preach, Or throw your poetry about, Be sure that you ' re immune yourself — Then bawl the other fellows out. Puzzle: Where did Gertrude Leh- mann get that medal of the Inter-class meet? Say, girls, what do you think of Paul Kleeman and his art of loving? At the Sectional Meet. Robert Kryter to Bruce Lockridge: How high did that Noblesville fellow jump? Bruce: Five feet and eleven inches. Robert: And what was the time? (The curtain goes down on a scene of slaughter.) — R. B. L. Call for Order! Boy, stamping his feet. Mr. Dalman: Say, sonny, do you A think this is a meeting of the stamp club? — R. J. K.

THE BOOSTER LLASX rLL We, the June class of 1917, of the Charles E. Emmerich Manual Training High School, of the city of Indianapolis, and state of Indiana, being of sound mind, memory, and understanding hereby revoke all former wills and declare the following our last will and testament: First. We direct that our bona fide indebtedness and our intrinsic gratitude to our teachers be paid by the January ' 18 class as soon after our departure as possible. Second. We bequeath to Manual Training High School five hundred thou- sand dollars ($500,000) to purchase and equip suitable grounds for military training, as we thought this would settle the argument of Fuzzy Nelson and Ross Mullen. Fifth. To the school we will one hundred and fifty dollars ($150) to pur- chase tardy and absent slips to replenish the supply exhausted by Sayors Miller. Sixth. We will Carl Fetchmann ' s graceful movements to Berry and Marsh, to be presented as the most precious original creation of the June ' 17 class. Seventh. We bequeath Hob Overstreet ' s love for continued semesters to Lloyd Allen thinking that he might want to stay at E. M. T. H. S. as long as Hob has. Eight. To Raymond Helm, president of the January ' 18 class, we will Paul Kleeman ' s speech-making ability with the thought that Helm might use it next year. Eleventh. We will Talyor Obold ' s popularity to LeRoy Engle so that LeRoy may have as good luck leading young ladies about the halls as Obold has had with Helen Smith. Twelfth. To the Kitch Koontz Company we give two thousand (2,000) pounds of John Fitzgerald ' s bald face preparation in order that the company may save much valuable time, that would otherwise be lost, in making the mixture for their next performance. Fourteenth. To Bob Smith of the January ' 18 class we will the pacifier, which Miss Knox received at the Christmas party. Fifteenth. We will the automatic bugles used in the June class play to the orchestra to be substituted when Fred Schaub is in a reverie. Eighteenth. We will all the ill tempers of the June ' 17 class to the fairies as we thought Ben Becker ' s pleasant disposition might come from dealing with the fairies. Nineteenth. To Bill Clifford of the January ' 18 class, we will Russell Kretch ' s pompadour in hopes that both together will make one that will lie straight. Twenty-second. To any good dancer in the January ' 18 class we will the dancing pomps which Ross Mullin and Gladys Benson purchased at Kinney ' s shoe store on East Ohio street. Twenty-fourth. To the January ' 18 class we give our best wishes for a pleasant and profitable time next year. Twenty-fifth. Our sponsor we leave to the next June cla,ss with the request that they appreciate and honor her for she has no superior. We appoint Mr. McComb executor of this, our last will and testament. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have hereunto subscribed our signatures this 18th day of May in the year of our Lord, 1917. PAUL KLEEMANN, President. HAZEL GRADY, Secretary. HAZEL PENNINGTON, Will Maker.
