December 16 — Some party, Januarys! We had a wonderful time. Too bad about the D ' s. January 4, 1923 — Not so many D ' s this timp. Who ' s the doctor? Miss Knox thanked the class, for the donations for the Day Nursery which were g;iven at the dance. Our list of mottos was read again, but we did not have time to decide upon one. January 11 — Lead Not Follow was chosen by a large majority as our class motto. We also chose the American Beauty rose for our class flower. January 24 — We had a big laugh at the January ' s Class Day Exercises and a good dance afterwards. February 4 — Helen Nackenhorst, a member of the January ' 23 class, died at the Methodist Hospital. Although Miss Nackenhorst was not a member of this class, she was well known bv everybody. We wish to give our deepest sympathy to her parents and friends. February 7 — Everybody was worried for fear that the seniors wouldn ' t have time to do much work since roll call had been made shorter. In spite of the short time, we decided to keep our president and vice-president, but to make Robert Garten our secretary and Jean Adamson our treasurer. Miss Perkins congratulated us on the selection of As You Like It for our class play and announced that tryouts would start immediately. February 14 — A letter from Mr. and Mrs. Nackenhorst to the class was read. Everybody was talking about the class play. It was the same old story. Everybody couldn ' t be pleased. Some sa : d it would be good, some said it wouldn ' t, and others kept still. February 20 — We decided to allow the liberal hand of Elizabeth Under- wood to direct the .gifts of the class to the school. Our president read a letter from Mr. McComb, expressing- his appreciation for the flowers that the class presented to the school in honor of her twenty-eighth birthday. March 6 — We ' ve been having some very noted speakers these days. Miss Wheeler talked to us about the disorderly conduct in the Auditorium and asked us to do something about it — which some of us did. March 12 — The girls were beginning to worry about our photographer, and to quiet them we discussed the matter. The president finally appointed a committee. Rumors had been heard that Paul Chapman was becoming a good fool; so we chose him as our will make. Our prophet was also a man of means— no one but the honorable Louis Cochran. March 20 — Our president read Jean Adamson ' s resignation as treasurer and appointed Walter Floyd to take her place as Walter had the next highest number of votes at the time of the election. We chose Bretzman as our photographer and were instructed about getting our pir-tures taken. March 30 — Our first dance. Everybody but the D ' s in both classes were invited, but only a few came. The Peter Pan Orchestra panned us some good music, and everybody had a good time. April 3 — Announcements were made about the class nlay tickets, Ivy Day, and commencement announcements. Louis Cochran reported that he had some designs for our banner and wanted some more. All designs were to be posted in both roll rooms. April 10 — The announcement committee reported, and we selected Bur- ford ' s to make the announcements. The Ivy Day committee was appointed and told to co-operate with Miss Wheeler about the program. Everybody was working hard to complete the preparations for our class play. April 12 and 13— If Shakespeare could only have been present. He would have seen his great play, As You Like It, make a wonderful h ' t with a large audience. The success of this play was due to the co-operation of all the members of the class, together with the everlasting help of Miss Perkins and other members of the faculty. April 17 — We selected as our class banner the one submitted by Ruth Kryter. Miss Wheeler urged us to get busy about Ivy Day. April 26 — We learned that Lloyd Lively, a member of our class, was in the hospital. Lemoyne Lambert and Evelyn LeFeber volunteered to take Page Four

Prophecy of the June ' 23 Class About 5 o ' clock I arrived at Indianapolis. In the Union Station Lemoyne Lambert was calling trains, Earl Sharp was selling tickets, and Horace Joyner was sweep ' ng the floor. I then went to the hotel, and in the hotel Louis Katzen was clerk; Keith Manion, William Beck and George Warner were all bell hops. After I had my dinner I went to a musical comedy. In the cast were: Lena Hoover, the leading lady; Paul Olsen and Robert Scott. Louis Cohen evidently still possessed a great deal of the foolishness he had in school, because he was comedian. In the chorus there were a number of ex-Manual girls: Anna Hershovitz, Marguerite Brumbaugh, Carrie Tanner, Elsie Pierson, Elizabeth Mackey, Mamie Morris, and Fanny Klausner. Bernhardt Dorman was con- ductor of the orchestra and Robert Garten was a cornetist. After the show I went to the hotel and retired. I awoke early the next morning so that I could see the sights. As I was walking up Illinois Street, I met Traffic Policeman Harold Hagerty. I stopped and talked with him for quite awhile. He told me that William Dugan was mayor, but he was powerless because of his feminine council. On this council were Ollie Nickles, Clarice Sheets, Victoria Healy, Ruth Fox, Gertrude Teifen, Clara Neustadt, Mildred Speer, Catherine Blue, and Georgia Goerke. Charles McNeely was chief of police and Thera Summers was judge of the criminal court. I left Harold and continued my walk. As I neared Washington Street I saw Gilbert Schmidt sitting in a window demonstrating corn medicine. When I reached Washington Street, I heard music. I asked a man stand- ing near me where the music came from. He told me that the parade of the Raymond Wacker circus was coming. As the parade drew near, I saw Ray- mond sitting in an automobile leading the parade. Running beside him were two clowns, John Klaiber and Paul Chapman. In the next wagon was Ruby Likens, the supposed Egyptian princess. Marie Barnes and Ida Hazelwood were fanning the fair princess with large palm leaves. I did not wait to see any more of the parade, but went to a restaurant for my lunch so that I could go to the circus. When I arrived at the circus grounds I was surprised to see Salvatore Mazza and Jack Liggera selling banannas. I met Raymond and he seemed to be very glad to see me because he took me through all of the side shows and gave me a ticket to the circus. I saw some dazzling sights in the side shows. Blanche Rose was the world ' s fattest lady, and Harold Hart, her husband, was the giant of the circus; Earla Eggert and Helen Elder were taking the part of the Siamese twins; Helen Pedlow was a snake charmer, and Marcella Walthers was a crystal gazer. Fred Patterson was a wild man from Borneo. Elsie Sanders was known as the world ' s champion woman wrestler. Harry Painter was the strong man of the circus, and his wife, formerly Ruth Deming, posed as the woman without a head. Tom Schneider was in charge of all the monkeys. It was time for the circus to begin so I went into the main tent, and again I saw unbelievable sights. In the top of the tent the trapeze performers, who were Eleanor Hilgemeir, Helen McLen- nan, Martha Bebinger, Helen Mulrine, Forest Gray, Edward Green, and Rus- sell Sett, were doing hair-raising stunts. In one ring Erna Theilman and Elizabeth Underwood were doing the horse riding act. Jean Adamson, the world ' s champion high diver, was preparing to make her dive. I had had enough of the circus by this time so I went back to see Raymond to congratu- late him. He told me that there were a few of my classmates playing with the New York Giants in an exhibition game in Washington Park, and he asked me to go with him to see the game. Walter Floyd was catching for the Giants, and John Kelly was pitching; Harry Cruse was playing field for Indianapolis. Joseph Schmidt was score keeper, and Norman Jordan was umpire. The game ended and the Giants won 38 to 4. Raymond left me to go back to his circus, and I started for town. While I was waiting for a street car, Jack Cheney and Fred Bunten passed me. They were on their coast to coast trip by foot. I was tired, so I went to my room. I did not go out any more that day, but the next morning I went back to dear old Manual. Some of our class couldn ' t bear to leave Manual for good so they came back as teachers. Mildred Continued on Page Sixteen Page Three

Our Senior Athletes Among the members of our class we are proud to count Walter Floyd. Floyd has gained for himself the distinction of being one of the best athletes the old Training School has produced. He has participated in football, bas- ketball and track. He was captain of the 1922-1923 basketball squad. Frances Mulbarger has more to his credit than the presidency of our class-, for he is an athlete of ability. Mulbarger played on our varsity football team, and was also a track man. When speaking of football, we must also speak of Harry Painter. Painter has distinguished himself as a hero of the gridiron. He played on the varsity team for three seasons. He has proved his worth as an athlete. William Stewart also stands prominent among our Senior athletes. ' Stewart was captain of our 1921 football team. He was an efficient punter of the pigskin. Stewart will also be remembered for his track activities. Thera (Dog) Summers, was one of our most prominent three-letter men. Summers was very active in football. He was a member of tri2 Sectional Championship basketball term of 1923.

Everybody seemed worried about Ivy Day. but everybody wouldn ' t help plan; so we left the program to be decided by a committee. May 4 — The committee that planned our Ivy Day program certainly should be commended. The exercises were very appropriate and the dance afterwards was very successful. May 8 — Now that Ivy Day is over our next imporant day is Class Day. Miss Knox said that she wanted a large committee and she got it. John Kelly was afraid that he might get a 35 when our next marks came our, so he proposed that some action be taken about admitting the senior D ' s to parties. We were very sorry to hear that our good friend, Miss Perkins, was in a critical condition, from a broken jaw bone. We immediately decided to send Miss Perkins some flowers, together with our most tender sympathy. May 15 — The Class Day committee asked for a contribution from all the wit in the class. Popular tunes with original words, and funny poems were all in line. If you want to embarrass someone, write a funny song or poem about him. Some folks can ' t understand that the less we say about D ' s the better off we will be. Page Five
