SENIOR BOOSTER 23 IVY DAY PAGE SPLENDID PROGRAM On Wednesday, April 30, the June Seniors upheld one of the oldest and lovliest traditions of Manual — the planting of the Ivy Vine. As usual, the weather was against us. It rained. This, however, did not spoil the ceremonies held in honor of the occasion. A part of the program which was presented in the new audi- torium was in the form of a pageant. This pageant reviewed important events during the four years we sen- iors graced Manual ' s halls. The suc- cessful graduate looked back on school days and saw again the classroom, athletic achievements, loyalty to the old Alma Mater, rewards that were given for scholarship, music and art — not material rewards, but the reward of learning. Last he saw what to him at that time was the height of achieve- ment — commencement. After the pageant, which was pre- sented perfectly, Mr. McComb gave a very helpful and inspiring talk. He took as his subject our class motto, Strive, Advance, Succeed, explaining clearly the derivation and significance of each word. His explanation showed us what was expected of every loyal Manualite, and the ideals which we were to live up to all through life. After the program in the auditorium a dance was given in the girls ' gymna- sium to which the faculty, the January seniors, and the post-graduates were invited. The orchestra was composed of underclassmen, and we danced to their excellent syncopation. Despite all efforts to have everyone join in the dancing, there were the usual wall flowers. To keep up the enthusiasm of all, other means of diversion were used, namely — two three-legged races both of which were most discourteously won by the January seniors. They had no respect whatsoever for our feeling, nor our racers. In spite of the weather and the wall flowers, the day was unani- mously declared a success. We only hope the January seniors have an equally successful Ivy Day — but we doubt it. The program was as follows : 1. March — June seniors. 2. Piano Solo — Edwin Harold : The Dwarf Dance ; The Warrior ' s Song. 3. Poem — The Ivy — Margaret Mertz. (Continued Next Column) IVY DAY POEM By Margaret Mertz We seniors come this day of days To plant a little vine. Since we must go upon our way, We leave behind a sign. Time carries on, and those before Planted an Ivy, too, Before they went to come no more As we also must do. This little vine must grow and grow To cover Manual ' s wall, A living symbol there to show We love her one and all. A symbol that in every way We ' ll do in word and deed The utmost in our power each day To Strive, Advance, Succeed. WE SHOULD KNOW Some things we all know : That Miss Hench wears funny half- moon spectacles. That Gordon Leonard came to Man- ual to give us an example of western chivalry. That Ruth Emigholz has about the best school spirit we ever hope to find. That Lynn Dismore is very suscep- tible to the charms of the ladies. That there are always a group of boys around Room 11. That Martha Thielman ' s age is a deep, dark mystery. That Paul Duddy and Herschel Sea- mon are general nuisances. That Carl Howard ' s marcel is the envy of all the girls. That we ' re mighty fond of Miss Knox. PROGRAM— Cont. 4. Song — Minnie Caplin. 5. Strive, Advance, Succeed, by a group of June seniors. 6.

SENIOR BOOSTER 25 CLASS OF JUNE 1924 ATHLETES Helen Harmeson has played basket- ball on the girls ' team for four years. She has a basket eye that was not excelled by either of her brothers. The team will be weakened by Helen ' s graduation. Dorothy McKay, another of our girl basketball tossers, played in the same games with Helen and her ability will be missed when Tech and Shortridge are met next year. La Verne Chastain, another girl bas- ket tosser, will be missed when the team lines up next year. Dorothy Feldman, called Dot, is one of Manual ' s leading athletesses. She played on the team against Short- ridge and has taken part in many prac- tices. Boyd Courim, more commonly known as Zip, has played football for two years and baseball for one year. He was the star of the last football team at the quarterback position. He played in the backfield and acted as captain of the team in 1923. He was chosen on the all-city team in 1922 and 1923. His place on the eleven will be hard to fill next year. He has also played in the outfield of our baseball team in years past. Charles Courim, that fighting blonde, plays both football and baseball. He made the all-city football team the two years he played. He also played base- ball for two years. He played half- back on the football team and left field on the varsity nine. Louis Weiland, our snappy little for- ward, played on the varsity during the last season and made a good showing. Louis has been in basketball from his freshman year until now. Lawrence is the long boy of the bas- ketball team of ' 23 and ' 24. This is his first year at Manual. He came from a Fort Wayne high school. Charles Parker came out for track in his senior year and ran in several meets. If he had tried out in his for- mer years, he certainly would have made the state squad. Lewis Clark is another fellow who came out too late to make the state squad. He ran in several meets and was a member of one of the relay teams. Oscar Herbst is another heavy boy of the class. He played football in 1923 and participated in several var- sity games. William Mussmann, our stalwart football guard, is another man to leave. Football is the only sport Bill plays, but he plays it well. His fighting spirit and rotund figure will be missed when the call for football is issued next fall. He has held a position on the varsity for three years. Verne Baldauf has taken part in ath- letics ever since he came to Manual. In his freshman year he took part in freshman track and football. In his sophomore and junior years he played basketball on the second team. In his senior year he was one of the stars on the varsity basketball team, playing at the center position, and now he is mak- ing a strong bid for all-city first base- man on our varsity baseball nine. Harold Blair, our star dash and quarter-mile man, has made quite a record for the season. This is his first and last year on the squad, as he came from another high school. With a few more years on the squad he would have been an all-state man. Frederick Eckstein also graduates with the June class. Basketball is the only sport he has participated in, but he has done well at it. He was a star guard on the second team and fre- quently played guard on the varsity. He came out for the first time during his senior year, but he made good. George Cecil is another well-known athlete of our class. George played both baseball and football. He is a brainy and a hard hitting football player. He played outfield for the baseball team. It will be hard to fill George ' s shoes this year when the dif- ferent calls go out. Wilbur Anderson made his first at- tempt at athletics last fall when he came out for football. Although this was his first try, he made good as a substitute guard. Thomas Neale is another football player to leave with our class. This is the only sport Tom tried for and he certainly made a success of it. Claude King, the busiest student in school, had time to make the state track team in 1923. While editing the Booster last fall, he played on the var- sity basketball squad a while ; then his tasks piled up and he played on the seconds.
