THE BOOSTER 15 A Xmas Crime Gladys: I do believe Dolly came in on that last train. We ' ve been expect- ing her for the last two minutes. Joe: Yes, it seems like years since we saw her. (Clasps hands, s ighs, and rolls eyes.) (Dolly enters, furs, ' n everything.) Gladys: Oh, you sweet thing. Dolly: Oh, Gladys! (They rush to- ward each other and embrace. Smack! Smack! Growling from behind the scenes.) Dolly (hand to her ear) : Whose voice do I hear? Gladys (nervously) : That ' s the ash- man. Give him the ashes, Joe. (Joe picks up tray of ashes from library table and starts out.) Gladys: Let ' s go up and take off your furs, Dolly, dear. (Joe enters with Ted.) Ted: Hello, old man, said he cor- dially. Joe: How do you do, said he shak- ing hands. (Both whisper SSSSSSS.) Joe: She did? (Puts his hand to his face.) Ted (acting shyly) : Points toe to the floor and assumes a sour look and says Yes. (Ted picks something off of the floor — handkerchief). Ted: Whose is this, Joe? Joe: The ashman must have dropped it. Ted: Well, I must be going now. Joe : Come on, I ' ll help you get your hat. (Stage cleared.) (Ted enters from the right, and Dolly from left.) Ted: Where ' s my hat. I thought I Dolly: Where ' s my handkerchief, Joe? (look up and see each other). Ted: Dolly!!! Dolly: Ted!!! (Smack! Smack! Smack!) (Curtain raised. Dolly and Ted have china dog in their arms. Barking from behind the scenes.) Dolly: I just adore dogs. Ted: Really! (Smack! Smack! Smack!) (Curtain Pinal.) The Count ' s Armor A woodpecker lit on a Freshie and settled down to drill; He bored away for a half a day And then he broke his bill. — Ex head The gift of the January ' 20 class to the inestimable Count J. Edgar Drift- meyer. That the American people are self- concerned can be seen from the fact that the January Seniors do not realize how prominent their class prophet is. Waltonond el Cashud is a native of Persia and is a descendant of the most ancient prophets in that land. Mulnond Cashud, the most ancient ancestor known, was not a born prophet, but acquired the power to prophecy in a peculiar manner. One day while he was wandering in the Sahok Desert he was overtaken by a snow-storm, and, although he survived, it affected his mind so as to give him the power to foretell future events. The January Seniors should congrat- ulate themselves on having a direct descendant of Mulnond Cashud for prophet. Count — I got a hundred yesterday. Joe Kirk — You are getting good. What was it in? Count — Fifty in Latin and fifty in composition. On the class play casualty li st is Gerald Reese and Emma Leerkamp. The case is very serious.

14 THE BOOSTER CLASS WILL We, the January, ' 20 Class of Emmerich Manual Training High School of Indianapolis, Indiana, feeling that our remaining life is short, do hereby make public our last will and testament as follows: First. 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. S., so that they may place it alongside the pictures of other great presidents, such as Lincoln and Washington. Third.

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

Owen Mogg and Alex Levinson, Manual ' s two greatest athletes, a huge gym in which they may keep in training. Sixteenth.

16 THE BOOSTER SENIOR SASSIETT A January senior asking his favorite young lady to go sleigh-riding with him: Will your notions of propriety ad- mit of your entertaining an invitation emanating from me to indulge in the exhilerating pastime of being trans- ported over the gleaming and compact crystalization of vaporous exhalation drawn by a quadruped of the equine species harnessed to a cold but perfect piece of mechanism? Helen Mathews — What is the correct translation of the motto on that lovely ring you gave me? Karl Scott — Faithful to the last. Helen Mathews — The last! How hor- rid! And you ' ve always told me that I was the first. William Gane, our noted violinist, gave a recital at the Deaf and Dumb Institute Friday night. The recital was a marked success. Speedy Dupree performed some very mystifying tricks at the blind asylum recently. Mildred Allen was the dignified chaperone at the G. of A. dance Tues- day night. Elizabeth Morlan has been seen quite frequently in Clinton Glascock ' s exclusive beauty shop. Bob Kniptash and Ray Gider at- tended a musicale given at the resi- dence of Frances Childers. The charm- ing debutante, Helen Brandenburger, wore an egg-colored Kokomo creation, while Frances Childers wore a prune- colored gown, trimmed in the Mem- phis Blues. George Cleaver rides a ' Central ave- nue car to Thirty-fourth street every other night. We don ' t know where he goes. Helen Brandenburger, La Von Cox and Bob Hensley had a little coast- ing party Saturday. Helen says the ups and downs of coasting strain one ' s dignity. It may be noted that Al Noll waits every evening till the rental library closes. August Shrader carries, mounted on his shoulders, the most splendid speci- men of carved teakwood known. Ralph Bockstahler and Bill Gaddis, who were the stars of Miss Helming ' s literature VII. class, announce that they have incorporated, and will give private lessons in advanced literature next term. A rumor is in circulation to the ef- fect that there are no girls in the Jan- uary class who can dance. Mildred Allen refused to make a statement in regard to the rumor. Rabbi Isadore Cohen attended the annual bolshevic reunion at Julietta, Ind., last week. First Act of Class Play. Chief Participants: Glenn Kingham. Walton ' Cash. Acrobatic Act: Mr. Kingham helps or assists Mr. Cash in chinning himself over the Auditorium door. Curtain ! Things do happen sometimes. Tobin — Ha! Ha! That ' s how I came to dream of you. - ' Op ' o Me Thumb to William Gane. From the quotations below it is evi- dent that Mr. B. Franklin wrote his Poor Richard ' s Saying while thinking of the January ' 20 class. Beware of expenses — Senior Class. The whole world loves a lover — George Cleaver. Laugh and grow fat — Alex. Levin- son. (Continued from Page 13) We ' ve had good times together And we love the old school so; The teachers and one another, That we just can ' t bear to go. Yet 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.
