THE BOOSTER By SARA AXELROD Introduction: In which the usual wrangle between every smart Senior and the 1919 Freshie takes place, but, in which the Freshman politely shows the Senior Who ' s Who. In which three hard and steep years have been over- come; three disappointing years for many 1919 Freshmen who were forced to abandon their climb; but, three glorious years for most of the 1919 Fresh- men who have grown into tall, strong, and handsome unusually smart Seniors, respected and adored. FIRST SCENE Time: February, 1922. Place: Room 30 or Seniordom. Miss Knox: Now. class, I want you to be the best class that ever set its feet in or out of Manual Training High School (Emphatic uh-huh ' s of ap- proval from class.) Mr. Barnhart: Ditto for me. Miss Knox: Now, we ' ll have elections for class .officers. Nominations for president are now in order. Out of the hub-bub and turmoil came our Class President, the Hon, Francis McAree, blushing as red as his sweater was green. President McAree: (Trying his best to make a speech-. Class, I want-ta I wanta thank you you a for a a (Un- usually smart seniors): Uh-huh. You ' re entirely welcome. Keep the change. So — after three or four days, these were the results of the election: President — Francis McAree. Vice-Presidnt — Margaert Pearey. Treasurer — Evangeline Layne. Secretary — Harold Irby. Then began action — U. S. S. chose as their class color, the fashionable green of the spring, and as the flower, the Sunburst Rose. The two-r»iece pin, designed by Alice Hedrick, was decided upon almost unanimously. Oh. didn ' t our hearts rejoice to see Any other Senior turn green with envy at the sight of those pins? A FEW DAYS LATER U. S. S. (Bursting into full bloom, Room 30): Did you hear about it? The Hon. Harold Irby has resigned as Secretary. Pres. McAree: You don ' t say so! Well, we ' ll have to vote for another secretary. So, Christian Iverson was elected to display his secretarial countenance before the class. Three Rahs! Along came Ivy Day of June ' 22 class. Of course, we were inviteed. We said (on the next day): Very good work, June ' 22 Class. Pretty nice dance, too, I ' ll a dmit. Along in June came the June ' s class play, Little Women, and quickly following that came their Class Day. What would it have been without our cheery haw-haws! SECOND SCENE Three long months later. Time— September. 1922. i Place— M. T. H. S. U. S. S.: Gee, but it feels good to be back here again, to see those four walls and a ceiling, to see Mr. Barnhart, Miss Knox, Mr. Clunie, Mr. Weigler, and the office again! (Astounded) What ' s this? Room 48? Seems like I ' m lost! Well, so it ' s Room 48 now, is it? The whole school has changed! Hope I don ' t act like a Freshie! Oh, boy! I ' m so full of pep. ready to do anything! Miss Knox: Class, this is your last term. You made a good reputation
