Room 10 — Better. Room 11 — Best. A Psalm of Class Books. Tell me not in mournful numbers That I had an empty dream, When I saw those boys with class books ; I knew things are not what they seem. It is real, they ' re in earnest, So have them signed, it is their goal. If one comes to you, don ' t run; To sign it will fill his soul. With enjoyment, not with sorrow, I expect that he will say: ' ' Thanks, thanks to you, now tomorrow I ' ll catch more than on today. School is short, time is fleeting. And their hearts are strong to brave The jeering taunts of all their com- rades — These school memories to save. In the school ' s broad field of class books; In this our Senior year, Nearly every girl will have one, While but three boys have them here. Just congratulate the boys, Say they ' re sensible in size; Say you ' re proud to see them, have them — - You ' ll in their estimation rise. Then, you boys, be up and doing, Get a class book, risk the fate. One more week to get it signed, boys — Hurry, before it is too late. (Continued from page 7.) recognize the human skeleton, and the native dancer. The human skeleton puzzled me as he was six feet two inches tall and two inches around the waist. It was Charles Porter. My, how he had changed! Paul said the native dancer had first made her ap- pearance in public at a minstrel show, and, after seeing her, I realized that she was Dorothy Nightingale. In the course of the next six days, I came to North America and back to Indianapolis to see what the old place looked like, but could not find Manual. I began to look up and found it was six stories off of the ground so that the street cars and other traffic could pass underneath the building without interference. At the corner of Persh- ing and Petain, formerly 25th and Cen- tral, I met our class sponsor, Miss Knox, and said Still worrying with June classes and Roines Clubs? She replied that she was doing a more pa- triotic duty and that was teaching bl nd and maimed soldiers. I told her what I had seen of our class scattered all over the world with all kinds of jobs, and she said that we were ful- filling our motto Over the Top. I left her, leaving a good impression of our June, 1918, Class on her mind. (Continued from page 4.) is quite an accomplished actress. He is extremely tall. Remember — I men- tioned no names. You know the teachers are sad when they think of Commencement and our leaving them. But they experience the same sadness each year, poor dears! It seems fine, in a way, to think that although the anxiety and fun of school days are over, that we are now an honored and respected Alumni. Of course, it is impossible to skip over the thing that is always in our minds these times — war. We have heard of the patriotism of the school during the Spanish War, and we know how loyally our boys followed the flag- then; but to us, the memory that will inspire us to further service is that of our class color — khaki; our motto — Over the Top; and our splendid serv- ice flag, with its blue and gold stars hanging in the old auditorium. Very sincerely, Ted. WHAT THE FOOL, DUBS?

In Union There Is Strength. This was felt by the January and June Seniors of 1918, when the ques- tion arose as to whether or not the January Seniors should abandon the plans for their Senior Booster. The severe days of last winter, which forced many shops, schools and even homes to close made it impossible to have the Senior issue of the Booster printed. At the January Class party, the June Class was kind enough to of- fer, through its president, Joseph Sharp, to share its Booster with the January Class. As a result the Jan- uary and June Boosters have been combined, with one-third devoted to the January ' 18 Class, and two-thirds to the June ' 18 Class. — Grace Hackemeyer, V. P. Have you been reading Diamond Dick or have you been stiffening your mental fibre by delving into the depths of Emerson ' s Correspondence and such like? The wise person who has not gone along the line of least resistance, but who has, according to the Reading List, read the most valuable list of books, will be presented a fine edition of some book on commencement night. The person who has read the second best list will be given honorable men- tion. Phi Beta Kappa. Before the graduate of this year is a new and intense situation to face for his future. There is college, the war, and the vast amount of work which is the result of the struggle. He has been urged to choose the first course wherever possible. There honors and distinction await his worthiness of them. One of the greatest of these honors is that of being elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Phi Be1a Kappa is the national hon- orary fraternity founded in 1776, at William and Mary College. Long lists of notable men such as Longfellow, H. W. Mabie, Thomas Higginson and Jo- seph Choate, have been members and since that time students of colleges and universities have received and worn the insigna — the key of the fra- ternity of intellect. They have won it, not only by long perseverance in their studies, but because of their character which impreses itself upon people. Grinds are not the recip- ients of the key. In fact, not a few have failed 10 make Phi Beta Kappa because they were such grinds. Do not have a false impression; it re- quires work and endeavor in every line of the college course. Various chapters have various re- quirements according to their consti- tution, but all are upon the same high standards. There are three chapters in the state of Indiana: the Alpha at DePauw; Beta at Wabash, and Gamma at Indiana University. Two students from Man- ual have recently been elected to Phi Beta Kappa: Joseph Littell and Ben- jaman Perk. We hope that others will be added from this year ' s class.
