THE BOOSTER JUNE 1918 HISTORY BY MERLE O. GOSNEY On the evening of June 10, 1930, Marjorie Fisher King, a very dear friend of mine, invited me to her home for dinner. After dinner, we were com- paring some pictures of her brother, Jack Fisher, before and after the war. Seeing that I was interested in the stories connected with the pictures, she took me to the garret and began show- ing me trophies taken from an old, weather-beaten chest. One of the things which interested me most, was an old bunch of letters which were written to Jack by a school friend while he was in the navy. After a lit- tle puzzling over these letters, we dis- covered that they contained a history of the June, 1918 Class of the Charles E. Emmerich Manual Training High School, of which Jack was a member until he joined the navy. By special permission I am allowed to read them to you, as I was sure you would be in terested in them. October 21, 1917. Dear Jack: Yes, I agree with you concerning the contents of your last letter. All you talked was war, war, and more war. My sentiments are just what you ex- pressed. It is a shame, though, that you are not getting to share any of the good times of the class. As I sym- pathize with you on this point, I will be only too glad to take up your sug- gestion as to writing each meeting and telling you the school news to the best of my ability. Well, on the 17th of October we or- ganized, under the everguiding hand of Miss Knox. A committee was appoint- ed to overhaul and oil up the consti- tution of last year and put The Con- stitution of the June, ' 18, Class at the top, thus making it a new constitution. After this we elected officers. Very little raving and the pedestal was knocked off its base only three times. For our guiding star, model example, and ideal school-mate (viz. our Presi- dent), we elected Joseph Sharp. For the dear do-nothing and honor-gainer (viz. our Vice-president), we elected Grace Hackemeyer. You remember Grace of the Quaker-Oats smile and eternal A+ ' s! For general scribbler (viz. our Secretary), we elected John Booth. Now from what you and I know about Johnny, he wasn ' t elected from his ability to spell names, was he? For that terrible tear-maker and source of greatest worry (viz. our Treasurer), we elected George Garrard. After the election, they lined these poor officers up on the stage, and one might then have heard hearty laughter and much applause. Miss Knox heaved one of those famous sighs as if the task had been strenuous or something, when Joe relieved her of the chair. All Joe did was to tell us that he would appoint a pin and color commit- tee and then we adjourned. Such was our first meeting. Will write full par- ticulars of next meeting and more be- sides. As ever, Ted. October 25, 1917. Dear Friend Jack: Thank you! I am glad you did en- joy the news. You know, day before yesterday, I did see some fun, though I am glad it wasn ' t I that got it. No cast of characters need be given. Scene I: In that lovely dark corner at the end of Room 9, you know, there stood a charming little boy and a blushing little girl. Scene II: Miss Foy saunters around the corner suddenly. Now you know Miss Foy says she is not going to get old, and, judging from eyes and things, I ' ll wager those children believe her (Five minutes conver- sation). Scene III: The little girl weeps now — the little boy ' s charming words fade into those of anger as he takes sides with the fair dame against the ogre. She is a sweet little Senior and sings soprano nicely when she is in the humor. He is an underclassman and has quite an ability for fiddling. We had another meeting yesterday afternoon. We are having quite a hub- bub over our class color. Do you sup- pose all classes have the same trouble? First it was between Peacock Blue and Khaki. It seemed that Khaki won, but it was suddenly suggested, made a mo- tion and carried, that the color ques- tion be dropped until the next meet- ing. Lewis Ward suggested entering upon the green carpet to ask Mr. McComb if we might have an Annual; Lewis was made chairman of such a commit- tee. Then we talked Class Gift and decided upon a grand plan. Each stu-
