The Senior PRESENT — PAST What ' s the matter with the senior of today? A lot, some may say, but others think he is just as good today as he ever will be. What his faults or good points are depends on opinion, that ' s all. You, for instance, may think the senior of today is small as compared to the senior of former years. Yes, but someone else fires back and says that physical make-up hasn ' t everything to do with the senior. That is, we have just as intelligent and diplomatic a senior today as ever before. But again, an- other one of you pops up and re- marks that the senior of today is not as loyal and enthusiastic as the senior of yesterday. Tommyrot! Are the bleachers ever empty at an inter-city football or basketball game? Did the BOOSTER ever fail to come out because of a shortage of subscrip- tions? Did a class play project ever frizzle and fail to go off with a boom? Did anything whatsoever fall flat because it did not have the back- ing of the senior? No! So you lose there, too. Well then, where is there any truth in the statement that the senior of today is inferior to the senior of past time? There is none. The senior of today has been brought up under a slightly different environ- ment from that of the former senior, but that does not matter. The end has been the same. The senior of today is just as big, just as loyal, and just as enthusiastic as the senior that came before him.

16 SENIOR BOOSTER ETIQUETTE FOR HALLS 1. When walking down the halls always shout at the top of the voice so that there will be no chance of a collision. Shouting is also a great help to the teachers to locate a student for a conference assignment. 2. If one pupil should bump into another when turning the corner, the correct thing to do is for each to shoot tbe other on the spot and thereby get rid of any point for argument that may later prove dangerous. 3. When turning a corner, hold out the hand indicating the direction of the desired turn. An endless amount of fun can be had by holding up the hand suddenly so that a passing student will be hit on the nose, thus causing it to bleed and ruin the carpet. 4. Teachers and office force should always be spoken to in a gentle manner. This is essential for the health of the term end grades. If a request in the office is refused, call the offender out in the hall and firmly but gently drape him over the surrounding landscape. An immediate escape is essential. 5. In going out the doors a certain technique should be observed. Slam the door quickly behind as it might by some lucky chance change the entire map of the boy following immediately behind. 6. Running to the lunch room becomes an indoor sport when certain rules are observed. Start at the door of the office and start running with the eyes shut. Every pupil knocked over counts ten points.

18 SENIOR BOOSTER Esteemed Company of Witnesses: We, the members of the June, 192 6 class of the great Emmerich Manual Training High School, fearing that our illustrious career is about to be ended and that our demise is near at hand, claiming to be the possessors of strong and well minds and holders of physically sound bodies, do hereby write, state and make public our last will and our final testament. To all the members of the faculty who see no sorrow in our end, we leave the satisfaction that must come from seeing so much work well done. Classes may come and classes may go, but the accomplishments of the June class of ' 2 6 must ever stand in the annals as a beacon light to aspiring Seniors. II. To the January class, our rightful successors, we leave: — - 1. Our places in lunch-line, and our appetites. They may occupy and hold our places, but they can never fill — our appetites. 2. Our ability to produce the best Senior Booster ever published. 3. Our aptness in dramatics, so that Miss Perkins and Miss Sanders will be able to rest. Oh, yes! We know they will. 4. Lastly, the thing we most dread to part with in our last hour, our places in the hearts of the faculty. Here we were so deeply and reverently held because — because — our intellectual expansion could cause us to be held no other way. III. The following individual endowments that Ave leave should be treasured and held in the heart ' s deepest pools because they spring from such a noble source — ahem, ahumm, ah . 1. To Mr. Sanders we leave a gold-bound, pearl inlaid edition of Writing Excuses for Inexcusable Absences, by Heeza Cutter. 2. To Dorothy Cutshaw we leave Marie Delatore ' s ability to construct a fine complexion. Save the surface and you save all. 3. To George Harlan we leave Blackie Rhoade ' s power of attraction. Blackie has a steady now and he claims he ' s through attracting. 4. To Dane Jones we bequeath Orvill Teague ' s ability to study two hours on his mathematics lesson — by sitting on it. 5. Any broken pens, lost locker combinations, part times, or stray gum, we bestow freely on the finder to dispose of as he sees fit. 6. We bestow to any aspiring six footer Paul Keller ' s ability to clean the moon. 7. We bequeath Glen Harmeson ' s ability to shoot baskets, the poor things, to Al Rubush. 8. To the coming prophet of the January class we leave Hazel Gooch ' s ability to foretell, as well as the ancient sires. 9. Isadore Davis ' ability to edit the Booster can only be pla ' ced away on the shelf of memory, for no one can ever rise to such heights again. 10. Lester Cruse ' s bib is hereby given to Ralph Elrod in order to prevent a lasting impression — from soup stains. 11. To aspiring cadets we leave Major Quinlan ' s ability to command — attention. IV. To Miss Perkins and Miss Sanders, we will our hearty appreciation and thanks for their coaching of our class play. To Miss Knox, Mrs. Bing, Miss Ebbert, Mr. Ragsdale and Mr. Wright (Continued on page 39)
