12 SENIOR BOOSTER CLASS HISTORY (Continued from Page 6) The Ivy Day program, under the supervision of Miss Moore, was also a suc- cess. The performance was very impressing and was topped off by a splendid party. The class looks forward eagerly to Class Day. The term is swiftly drawing to an end, and the seniors are finishing up their remaining school duties with light hearts. This senior class will soon have completed another step in their journey through life. Success is not yet assured. There are many more trials and barriers to be met with, but these should be conquered as have all others. This class has proved to be all that could be expected of a senior class, and we feel sure that no class will falter if they work as the June, 1925, class has worked. It is with a certain regret in our hearts that we leave a place where we have so long strove to do all that was expected of us. We hope that all other classes profit by our experiences. So ends the history of the June, 1925, class. Harry Cederholm. PROPHECY (Continued from Page 8) Now there is a restaurant and in large letters the names of Sack and Taylor. I wonder if they couldn ' t be our old classmates, Norbert and Ralph? At a distant table by himself and in deep study is Ernst Schuster. I presume he is the man- ager. There is one table reserved. It is decorated in Red and White. What is this coming into the restaurant? Oh! It is a party of girls. They sit down at this table. Now I notice there is a huge cake on the table bearing the letters, E. M. T. H. S. 1925. Why sure it ' s the tenth anniversary of our class, and these fair young ladies are Lucille Whiteford, Ida Helen Smith, Flossie Heschelman, Loraine Driscoll, Florence Huebner, Virginia Kehrein, and Alta Rettig. The prophecy has now been told. I will put away the crystal. Look ! It is gone. ' Tis the will of Allah !

Bessie Sellers, another of our June ' 25 ' s attained fame and prominence. She was chosen by the student body of the Emmerich Manual Training High School to be the May Queen. Then to top it off, the Girls ' Reserve Club, composed of girls from all the schools, selected our Bessie to be the city queen. Congratulations ! A KISS FOR CINDERELLA With what excitement, with what thrills and hopes, we awaited A Kiss for Cinderella! From the very begin- ning everything had been too exciting to allow any member of the class to yawn and say, Class play? I suppose so. In the first place Miss Perkins and the committee, of which Marguerite Young was chairman and Gracie Robb, Alethea Sullivan, Eugene Coffin, and Alton Jacobs the members, could not decide immediately what play should be presented. Finally — glory be ! — A Kiss for Cinderella was chosen. Cleora Rob- ertson was selected to play the part of little, dreamy, wistful Cinderella and Eugene Coffin to play the part of the handsome policeman-prince. The play is written with all the graceful, sym- pathetic art of the great British author, Sir James M. Barrie. It concerns a young girl whose life is filled with glory and romance because of her dreams. Every day as she goes about the sordid tasks by which she makes her living, she dreams of going to the king ' s ball and of dancing with the Prince of Wales. The play ends with the realiza- tion of Cinderella ' s dreams — but the realization comes in an unexpected manner. The prince becomes the police- man again, and he, understanding Cin- derella ' s pure girlhood and her great imagination, gives her two tiny silver slippers instead of an engagement ring. Critics from all over the city com- plimented this excellent production, one even saying that it was the best exam- ple of a high school production that she had ever seen. No wonder ! How could it have been anything else with Miss Perkins and Miss Sanders coaching it and the old Manual spirit backing it to the limit? The cast included Fritz Schnepf, An- thony Giuffre, Flossie Heshelman, Do- lores Friedman, Felix Mastropaolo, Gracie Robb, Helen Ridout, Thelma Ta- coma, Bernice Kirch, Edna Werner, Ida Watkins, Margaret Martin, Dorothy Roberts, Mary Hester Smith, Dorothy Mast, Marguerite Baker, Harold Jor- dan, Charles Dant, Irvin Putt, Leo Selig, Harry K. Miller, Lawrence Con- drey, Ruth Robinson, Lena Rogin, Leona Rahn, Sadie Lehner, Helen Stickle, Dorothy Kritsch, Helen King- ham, Lucille Whiteford, Helen Rilling, Frieda Kennedy, Fern Lyster, Marga- ret Gerdtz, Mary Russell, Lawrence Caplin, Ruth Leech, Sam Rabinowitz, Ella Mae McMillan, Lee Nicholson, and Virginia Keith. The class extends its sincere appre- ciation to all those others who in any way helped to make A Kiss for Cin- derella a success. TO STRIVE, TO SEEK, TO FIND, AND NOT TO YIELD If you will strive and seek, you will find. You may strive and seek, but if you yield, you will not find. Without the determination not to yield, you will find nothing. What is the good of either striving or seeking if you yield and do not continue to strive and seek? Many an athletic contest has been lost because the players cease to strive and seek their goal. If they had the deter- mination not to yield, they would fight to the end whether they were winning or losing. So it is with the battle of life ; if we yield in our striving and seeking, we will not find.
