THE BOOSTER 13 Masoma Club The Masoma Club, the first honor- ary society in Manual, was organized in 1903 by Mrs. Rehm for the purpose of promoting the welfare of the school by helping to make the girls in the school happier girls, better students and more valuable members of the stu- dent body. The officers for the last semester were Esther Adams, Presi- dent; Susie Harmon, Vice-Presi- dent, and Pauline Ingalls, Secretary- Treasurer. The lines of work this se- mester have been promoting the inter- est of the freshmen by encouraging them in their school activities and their social activities by giving a se- ries of parties. Each hour in the day there are two assistants in the library and two messengers for the office. Our cashiers and many of the employes in the lunch room are Masoma girls. The girls not only have their work but they also have many delightful parties. Roines Club The Roines Club, organized in 1914, is a prominent factor in the life of Manual Training High School. The club is composed of senior boys who have made an average of B or better during their junior year, and who have no office record. Meetings are held semi-monthly at the homes of the members of the club. Miss Knox is the sponsor. The purpose of the club is to pro- mote all school activities, with em- phasis on athletics. At the present time the club is promoting a fund for a tablet to be used in the new addi- tion to our building as a memorial to Manual ' s soldiers in the world war. If any school activity needs backing in anv way the Roines Club is always on the job. Continued from page 5 a team. The sick list called several of our best men to its side for several weeks ' vacation. This greatly crip- pled the quintet. The dark days, we hope, and have every reason to be- lieve, are past, for only the other day old Dame Fortune signed a contract, in which she promised to allow us to win the remainder of the games, in- cluding the sectional. Manual Days. Slowly the doors of Manual Are swinging open wide, And soon we must pass through them To the big wide world outside. Fond fortune beckons to us And whispers tales of fame, But we pause upon the threshhold To look back once again. We see ourselves as Freshmen With the usual pile of books; Little anxious faces With green and verdant looks. Hunting the elevator, And climbing the tower stairs, Or looking for a classroom We couldn ' t find any wheres. Yes, we were once sma ll Freshies And burned the midnight oil, Cared not for girls and parties But filled our days with toil. And then, when we were Sophomores, We lost our love for books, And tried to be like Juniors And cared more for our looks. The girls abandoned pigtails, The boys put on long pants, Our joy was teasing Freshies, And learning how to dance. But when we were made Juniors, We lost our giddy ways And settled down to study And use the golden days. We ' d forgotten the joy of the Sopho- more For passing the Freshie stage, And knew not the pride of the Senior; We were at the sensible age. But the year of the Junior was short, And when Seniors we became, The world took on new colors And nothing remained the same. We held our heads up higher And swaggered down the hall, Smiled wisely down on the Freshie; We hardly saw him at all. In our Senior year things happened And cases came thick and fast. We ' re afraid our little historian Has lost her heart at last. (Continued on Page 16)

We leave dear old Manual, with the hope that the ever leading spirit of this year shall continue on forever. Second. We give the picture of President George Cleaver to the student body of E. M. T. H.

Edgar Driftmeyer so that she may enjoy one of the blessings of this world for the remainder of her life. Sixth.
