To you: students, alumni, and teachers, if you have done anything to further Manual Training High School; we, the January class of 1921 , dedicate this senior issue of the Booster. IVY DAY POEM. More light, a famous poet said, As dying, with uplifted head, He was led to day divine. Great minds and souls of every time, From depths of sorrow and of crime, Ask God for visions bright. Three hundred years have quickly passed, Since Pilgrims came, o ' er billows vast, To struggle for the right. On rugged country, brown and sere, Were oft rebuffed, but ne ' er in fear, Did they give up the right. We loyal students, year by year, As symbol of our love most dear, An ivy vine do plant, By Manual ' s walls to grow and thrive, Always reminding us to strive, Ideals to glorify. Viora Frye

THE BOOSTER WILL WE. THE members of the January ' 21 class of the Emmerich Manual Training High School of Indianapolis, Indiana, of United States of America, realizing that our day is nearly spent, do hereby declare and make public this our last will and testament. First, we direct that our funeral services be conducted bv our friends and well wishers, the faculty, only insisting that it be carried out with all the pomp and dignity fit those of our standing. Second, we give the June ' 21 class the authority to run the school for one semester — from January ' 21 to June ' 21 — on condition that they promise to manage it as successfully as we have. Third, realizing that we are taking with us most of the best athletes. John Long, Sherman Lightle, Maurice Weisman. Ray Strain, Mickie Wundram and Emil Harme- son. we see fit to bestow their ability upon the innocent Freshies entering Manual this month. Fourth, we have art in various lines to offer the future generations: 1. The charm of Mary Homburg ' s voice is bequeathed to the song bird of the June class. 2. Pearl McDaniel ' s art ability (demonstrated in the class banner) is given to Grace Green. 3. George Thormeyer ' s love making ability (acquired from the class play) we submit to a striking member of the fair sex, Willmetta Mitchell. Fifth, the monograms and trophies won by Anna Weaver in basketball we leave to Mr. Ammerman, for distribution to athletes in the next five (5) years. (Note— a dray will be needed to cart them from her home.) Sixth, to the indefinite president of the June class our worthy president, Bob Uhl, will tell the secret of his artistic posing demonstrated in the Class Picture. Seventh, sinco John Long is leaving we grant Lois Unversaw the right to eat her own candy. (Tou know Johnnie always helped her.) Eighth, we leave to the witty side of the school life Norman Wise, better known as Tnfant, the wizard of all nonsense. Ninth, we give, devise, and bequeath one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) to the worthy Knight of Janitors to pay the funeral expenses of their members who die in the attempt to dust the powder from around the mirror in Room 30 ' s cloak- hall. This powder has accumulated there after many battles between the Powder Puff and the noses of Rose Saperstein and Belva Thompson. Tenth, we leave to Miss Perkins thej right to instruct future dramatists in the art of love making since she so successfully taught the cast of our Class Play. Eleventh, the young ladies of this class, have sworn never to use rouge again — what they now have on hand is useless; therefore, we bequeath it to the teachers who are soending hard-earned cash for it. Twelfth, the frequent visitors of senior roll rooms have the good grace to take their D ' s with them but all A ' s and -f- ' s are left to the English and Science Depart- ments. Thirteenth, we restore to Dorothy Guntz ful ' control of her undertaking establish- ment. It has been frequently visited by our Hon. Otto Wickstrom and we feared they might go into partnership! Fourteenth, the poetic ability stolen from Ruth Brundrett by Viora Frye is given to the future class poets of E. M. T. H. S. Fifteenth, we leave Mr. Sanders in charge of $15.00 to ourchase 3c Bo n Checks for the five hundred Freshmen expected to enter Manual after the completion of the new lunch room. 3c being sufficient to pay for the heloing. Sixteenth. Martha Gooch and Fred Buddebaum have monopolized the southeast corner of R. R. 30, as they are leaving, we humbly submit it to any noteworthy lovers of the future classes. Seventeenth, we bequeath Kathryn Fisk ' s disturbance and loud laughter to Mil- lard Mogg. Eighteenth, a pump will be found in one of the cupboards in the property room which has sufficient j ower to force water an inch and half above our fountains, this we also leavp to jvlanual.
