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
