THE BOOSTER was using her life to teach the wild animals to become civilized. She said she thought of that idea when she first saw me. I left, thanking her for her compliment, and hoping that she would have more success. I noticed, as I walked farther down the street, a sign : Relics. As I neared the window, I saw a smaller sign in the window: A Class Book of 1918, used in North America. This interested me and I went into the store and saw that the storekeeper was another Manualite, Melvin Kettlehut. That was his class book and he had it on exhibition for the people of today to see. Within the folds of that holy book I found a prophecy that I had written years be- fore and the whole had nearly all come out to be true. A year passed before I again took such a wild chase over the world. On November 24, 1925, I left my home for Australia. The great Olympic games that had to be put off on account of the war were again in full sway. They were to be held in Australia this year, on Christmas Day. Not being too well acquainted with the athletic world, I did not know who were the main con- testants. Soon after my arrival, I bought a ticket to said games and when the day came I went, and found nobody but Frank Garten, the leading athlete, and others of our track team of great importance in this meet. I said to one man, after the mile run: Who is the American winner ' s name? And he said, Fred Cady, which very much surprised me. Another one of our classmates was Lloyd Allen, who now manufactured Allen cars in this country, and through inheritance Marie Van Jelgerhois was his head sales- woman. Within the next week I saw a sign on a shop saying, Arthur Reynolds Co., Grass Cutting a Specialty — Bring in your lawns. I went in but Arthur was too busy to talk to me, for he was cutting the lawn brought in by the Woman ' s Prison. On my return to America, I stopped at the Hawaiian Islands for a few days. About 24 hours after I landed, a man in a Palm Beach suit came up and said in a familiar way: Howdy, and at the same time raised his right hand and index finger, and I immediately saw that it was Paul Newman. He said that he was running a circus and that he wanted me to see if I could Continued on Page 11 AT THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION It is a distinguished company the seniors will join Friday night, June 14. That is, by the way the night they al- ways join the Alumni Association, at 50 cents each, and they keep on join- ing every year thereafter. Perhaps, in another year they may have the distinguished honor of meeting Roy Howard, ' who is now president of the United Press. The following article gives some idea of the importance of his work: The editors of O Pais, on opening the United Press service in Rio De Janeiro, gave a luncheon in honor of Roy W. Howard, of New York, presi- dent of the United Press, at which Edwin V. Morgan, American ambassa- dor, presided. Joao Loge, director of O Pais, spoke. He referred to the importance of this service and said the United Press will be associated with a paper that has most devotedly praised the policy and solidarity of the United States and a perfect understanding among all nations. Referring to Howard, Loge said it was most agreeable to recognize in him the rare qualities of sagacity and expansion capable of forming the cur- rents of opinion which will serve as a solid basis for great international work such as is being carried out in South America. Private Jethro Reiser, Medical De- partment, although slightly wounded by the explosion of a shell which wounded several of his comrades, pro- ceeded under shell fire to care for the wounded, with coolness and skill. By command of Major General Bullard, Campbell King, Chief of Staff. Horace Nordyke, a pupil of Manual and a graduate of West Point, about six years ago, is now an officer on the destroyer Sampson, one of the convoys in the war zone about England. He has charge of the wireless messages sent and received. The life is a very strenuous one, for often the boys are on duty for three or four days with- out sleep. Persons in the audience on Friday evening, expecting to see Ed Dieterich take part in the se cond scene were dis- appointed. For particulars ask Ed.

THE BOOSTER JUNE 1918 WILL BY EMORY BRYAN We, June ' 18 Class of the Emmerich Manual High School, of the City of In- dianapolis, County of Marion, State of Indiana, being aware of the uncertain- ty of High School life, and in failing health, but of sound mind and memory, do make and declare this to be our last will and testament in manner and form following: First: We give, devise and bequeath the guardianship of our youngest child, Frieda Keller, to Mr. Ralph Werner. Second: We give, devise and be- queath the first room north of the rental library, which has been used as a store room for Nellie Wallace ' s class book, to the school. Said room is to be used as a rest room for sick pupils. Third: We give, devise and be- queath to the ridiculous side of the school life, Ethard Zaring, wizard of all nonsense. Fourth: We leave to the January class five Victrola records of Abe Jaf- fie ' s argumentations. One of these rec- ords is devoted entirely to Lincoln ' s Gettysburg Address, which has under gone Abe ' s corrections and rearrange- ments. Fifth: As a special gift to the School, we leave Waldo Spitz to ful- fill the duties of the head instructor in knitting. Sixth: We leave to anyone having a remarkable quantity of nerve, the excellent, or otherwise, idea of boys ' class books, first conceived in the minds of Lewis Ward, Melvin Kettle- hut and Raymond Stafford. Seventh: We leave our fortune of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) for the purpose of buying new mirrors to replace the old ones of the cloak rooms of session rooms 9, 10 and 11, as they have become cracked under daily use and strain of reflecting the powdered visages of the female mem- bers of these rooms. Eighth: We leave two silver cups; one to Manual and one to Rochester, which stand for the track champion- ship of two consecutive years. These cups were Won by Frank Garten of our class, and his track mates. Ninth: To Heinie Steeg we leave the presidency of the Heredity (hair- red-ity) Club which was organized by Eva Harrold, Harold Stewart and Her- bert Hartman. Tenth: We leave three calenders, which were used to time Carl Neiman in the one hundred yard dash, to Mr. Morrison, to use in timing other stars who may have the same ability as Speed Neiman. Eleventh: We recommend Dr. Storms of Indianapolis, as a good min- ister, to perform the ceremonies for Robert Reed and Gladys Stevens. Twelfth: We leave Miss Perkins to take charge of the class next year, for she has proved her ability to take monkeys and squirrels and make act- ors out of them, though some of them are unable to overcome their habits of constantly grinning. Thirteenth: It is our wish that Bill Grindle, of the January class, be pro- moted to Captain of the Apple Corps, with Marvin Steel as his First Lieu- tenant. Fourteenth: We give three dollars towards Ammerman ' s new hat fund, in case of any other losses. Fifteenth: We leave an ample sup- ply of guns, knives and razors, to be used at will on Johnson, and other athletic officials. Sixteenth: As a patriotic class, we leave Miss Knox, our patriotic and be- loved sponsor, to the coming classes who are fortunate enough to have her for their capable sponsor. Signed: Joseph Sharp, Pres. Emory Bryan. Will Maker. FAREWELL, FAREWELL. 1. June ' 18 ' s going to leave you now, We ' re ready to make our farewell bow. CHORUS: Farewell dear Manual. (Sigh). Farewell dear teachers. (Smile). Farewell Januarys. (Cry). Farewell underclassmen. 3. One very bad thing we are going to do? We ' re taking Frank Garten away from you. With the state track judges we ' d like to deal For they certainly gave our Frank a raw deal. Did you ever notice that a yell leader is always deformed just below his
