SENIOR BOOSTER (Continued from Page 7) the spectators watching the game. Commissioner of baseball is none other than our most efficient president, Al Iverson. With him are the president of the National League, Lloyd Harter, and the president of the American League, Nor- bert Welch. The crystal grows darker, but on the bleachers I see some of my old classmates : Esther Heirman, Roy Coller, Lucille Hostetler, Leo Burres, Mary Herold. I see two young men selling peanuts and Coca Cola. They are John Lahm and Lewis Davis. The scene changes. I see New York ' s Great White Way and in glaring lights, Successor to Will Rogers, Famous Comedian, Harry Ropers! Can it be possible that this is the Harry Rogers of our class? On the small bill is another announcement of one of our classmates, Felix Mastropaolo. Felix was Manual ' s best joker. Also I see Captain Stanton, who is in charge of the ushers, Margaret Martin, Fern Lyster, Madeline Micheli, and Mary Russell. The crystal shows me another great playhouse, and in the diamond lights I see Bessie Sellers leading the Ziegfeld Follies. With her is the famous com- pany composed of Mary Hester Smith, Helen Stickle, Mary Campbell, Dolores Friedman, Ruth Leech, Bernice Kirch, Margaret Gerdts, and Dorothy Bolin. Now the act is over: I see a hard boiled stage manager, who seems to be in a great argument with his assistants over who shall open the door of the star ' s automobile. It is dark; I can not tell who they are, but I would guess than the manager is Walter Dolk, and his assistants might be Lawrence Dunn and Fred Gregg. Again the scene changes ; there is an auto accident. It seems that a great race driver, Daredevil Joe Trost, has run into a truck driven by Fritz Schnepf. While everybody is looking for the police, the crystal shows me two policemen playing dominoes in a nearby loafing place. They must be the Mutt and Jeff of the force because they are Leonard Nolte and George Lupear. The crystal turns back to the collision ; a cub reporter is rushing to the scene ; a great light shows Alton Jacobs. The large buildings and towers of a great university appear and among them is a huge stadium. On the sidelines the head coach is consulting his assistant. This coach is Marvin Cochrane and his assistants are coach of basketball, Ed. Eichman ; of baseball, Paul Becker ; of track, Harry Cederholm. The crystal shows me many professors : Ed. Spencer, Leona Milburn, Gracie Robb, Georgia Scheiring, Ida Watkins, and Eugene Williams. Looking out of the windows of this great university are Elosia Akers, Norma Dragoo, Althea Sullivan, Mar- guerite Young, Viola Kemper, Lois Entwistle, and Constance Graf. I suppose they are students at this school. Again the scene changes; I see a foreign country. People are rejoicing and among the mob are some very familiar faces : Frieda Kennedy, Abe Simon, Cora Allison, Dorothy Lewis, Harry Miller, William Markle, and Marie Dinsmore. They are shouting, The President, the President! Long live the President! The President appears. Wh is he? Why, he is my old friend and assistant, Isa- dore Lovinger. He has been elected President of the Irish Free State. Now I see the congress of this state, and among the representatives are Edith Brown, leader of party opposed to the new government, and those in favor of it have as their leader Dorothy Kritsch. The speaker of this house, a very tall, quite man, is Anthony Giuffre. As pages of this congress I see Lawrence Caplyi, Joe Mazza, George Weir, and Delmar Wright. In the distance there appears a little church. The pastor of this church, Raymond Genus, is making an announcement. He is saying that Robert Kelly, Milton Jenkins, Owen Gowdy, Alexander Clarke, Andrew Ramsey, Bert Walker, and Myron Wright, Dixie ' s Discorders, will give a band concert in the basement of the church next Tuesday night. He is also saying that a famous quartet, Frances Grigsby, Alice Cravens, Jerrie Cole, and Mary Bailey, will sing. (Continued on Page 12)

SENIOR BOOSTER As I look into the magic crystal, the crystal to which time is no mystery, I see the words June 1925. Slowly they fade, and in their place come June 1935. Now I see a maze of people and changing scenes. I see an office and on the doors the lettering, Vice-President Kroger Grocery and Baking Company. Can it be possible that after ten long years of weighing potatoes Glenn Boyd has risen to this position? The scene changes, and there appears in the crystal an army parade ground. A company of soldiers is drilling, and I see an old classmate in the person of a great officer, Corporal Bailey. Again the scene changes, and I see a foreign country. The secretary of treas- ury of this country is no other than the able treasurer of our class, Lillian Burnette. The crystal grows black — there are many ladies excitedly talking. Now I see they are Leona Rahn, Helen Vennard, Edna Werner. Helen Ridout, Alma Herndon, Helen Kingham, and Eileen Troy. They are carrying America ' s colors as the women debaters at the Olympic games in London. Now I see a large department store. There is a sign in front of it saying Cohen, Cohen, and Cohen, Haberdashers ! I wonder if they couldn ' t be Cecil, Louis, and Myer, of our class. I see their sales force in charge of the sales man- ager, Scott Huber. The force is composed of Lena Rogin, Saydie Lehner, Frieda Naperstick, Sam Rabinowitz, Sam Blum, and Sidney Gernstein. I see a large milk company, also several dozen broken bottles. There is a lady who looks very much like Ella May McMillan standing beside them. But it couldn ' t be Ella May who broke them because she never broke even a test tube in the chemistry lab. The crystal tells me that a large bottling factory has been started, manu- facturing pop and other beverages. The president and vice-president seem to be Joe Burnstein and Herbert Lieness. respectively. What ' s this? — a nurse at St. Vincent ' s Hospital has run off with an English soldier. I can ' t tell who they are. but I would guess that the nurse is Virginia Keith and the soldier, Lee Nicholson. I see the Buckingham Palace, and Irvin Putt and Leo Selig. the lords in the class play, are now in London trying to claim their lordship. There is great rejoicing in Manual. Thelma Tacoma has taken a position as permanent secretary of classes, clubs, and organizations in the school. Again I see a newspaper, and the headlines are America Wins 1935 Olympic Games. America ' s success was due chiefly to the great relay team composed of Paul Volrath, Verlin Littlejohn, Edwin Ryan, and Paul Rudbeck. Now I see Chicago and a group of missionaries. They are Dorothy Mast, Helen Rilling, and Dorothy Roberts. I see the divorce court — King Lawrence Condrey and Queen Ruth Robinson are not married : they got a divorce as soon as their son, Prince Eugene Coffin, said. I do. I do, I do, to Cleora Robertson. Gola Emery, the electrician, has a great invention. It will do away with the automobile. Just touch the button, and you are there. There appears in the crystal the Manual lunch room. I see Cora Ballard, Luima Bransford. Alma Stewart. Dorothy Williamson, Lillian White. Stella Quishenbury, and Lillie Williams as famous cooks. Ah! The Polo Grounds. The Giants and White Sox are playing in the world series. It is the eighth inning : the Giants are at bat ; a young man is going to the plate. He hits the first ball into the bleachers, and as he crosses the plate I see that it is Avon Foster. The scene changes, and there appear some of (Continued on Page 8)
