20 THE BOOSTER Class Will By Frank Cox We, the June, ' 19, Class of Emmerich Manual Training High School of Indianapolis, in Marion County, State of Indiana, being still of sound mind and memory, feeling that our remaining life is short, do make, publish and declare our last will and testament as follows: First. We leave the school, and wish in it permanently installed, the spirit to win which it has been our fortune to posses during the last year. Second.

Rice, George Keckler and Milton Brook Secrest, to those designated by one of the guardians of our great and glorious school law, Mr. Bertram Sanders. Fourth. We leave behind to Mr. Morrison, such men as Albert Jamison, William Wurtz, Emil Harmison and Orville Spear, and others whom he may mold into another winning basketball team. Fifth.

Eleventh. We leave to Bashful George Glossbrenner, Mr. O ' Conner ' s abil- ity to get acquainted with strangers. Twelfth.

THE BOOSTER 21 First. The habit of splitting up the big Senior Family into three parts. Because it does not allow the Seniors to become acquainted. It breaks up the class spirit and causes the class to become labeled a lazy one. Second. Al Glossbrenner ' s blazing tie, gaudy plaid shirt, and dreadnaught shoes. Third. Tommy Gallagher ' s hot blue serge cap. It breaks too many hearts. Fourth. The Agony Quartette. It has caused enough suffering. Fifth. Bill Engle ' s tragic voice, airy manner, imposing countenance and eloquent nose. Sixth. Glen Campbell ' s red baseball shirt. It ' s too much camouflage. (Continued from page ID booked for a basketball game with the Blind Asylum. Robert Williams is coaching their debating team and has fared as well as Bob, for he has succeeded in getting a debate with the Deaf and Dumb Asylum. Anna Gowens is writing stunning poems for Lew Shanks ' newspaper, entitled The Daily Auction. Saul Robinowitz, Morris Kaplan and Fred Fishman are running a pawn- shop on South Illinois street. Saul says the three balls hanging out in front signify that 2 to 1 you ' ll never get back what you put in. Wayne LaForge has made a wonderful success as a salesman at Kresge ' s five and ten-cent store, and has been made manager of the ribbon counter. His only bad habit is that he is enslaved to the intoxicating beverage known as lemon sour. August Schrader is now Scoutmaster of Troop No. 81-C6 at Rev. Hans Geiger ' s Rescue Mission. Robert Kryter travels in the summer with Ringling Brothers ' circus, as the Hatless Wonder, and in the winter runs the Tri-City Barber College. He has five girl assistants, who are Blanche Brattain, Marjorie Kraft, Josephine Graf, Bertha Newman and Marguerite Hubert. Raphael has at last met his Waterloo in the form of Gertrude Bishop, who draws pictures for Judge and Life. Pauline Lewis has worked up her one ambition and has induced the Indianapolis High Schools to introduce her history in the place of Mr. Moore ' s. At this point Judge Clyde Beem passed around policeman ' s favorite, the noted Pittsburgh Stogies, put out by the Creamatun and Company. Each cigar band had on it an advertisement for the Royce Wright Floral Company. We all lit up and you would have thought it was the Fourth of July. As the members of the police force in the court room were gassed by our talk and suffocated by smoke from our El Puncoes, we decided to disband and let the remainder of the class rest. Now, you can open your eyes and examine your pocket books to see how much you lost or gained during the little beauty sleep. (Continued from page 16) punch bowl. That reminds me — some winders — viz.
