We, the members of the June ' 27 Senior Booster Staff, wish to express our thanks and appreciation to all undergraduates, faculty members, and seniors that are not on the staff, for helping us to produce the biggest and best Senior Booster ever published at Manual. vi= The June 1927 Class SENIOR BOOSTER STAFF Editor-in-Chief Abraham Katz Associate Editor .-..Beth Burns Art Editor Alvin Aue Features Ona Lyday Sports.: Howard Wolf Humor.....

Today, the great things of the world are being accomplished by people of action, not by those who merely talk. The June 1927 class seems to have caught this spirit of the time and have expressed its feelings and attitude in a most remarkable moto, Deeds not Words. Guided by its motto, the class in a quiet manner accomplished a great deal during its four years at Manual. All class affairs and undertakings were heartily supported by the seniors and proved to be very successful. Fu- ture classes will have to exert themselves a great deal in order to produce nearly as suc- cessful a class play or as good a Senior Booster as those of the June ' 27 class. All seniors co- operated and proved that their class lived up to its motto. Deeds not Words. The time is short. Soon we will be saying- farewell to our Alma Mater. The class will leave Manual, and in the few years some of its members will probably be found in distant parts of the world. But there is no need of worrying about the class members in the fu- ture. With this motto as a guilding star, this class will not be lost in the great avenue called Life. Their accomplishments here show how well they knew how to apply their motto. If they will only live up to it after graduation they will rise high in the world and be men and women of Deeds not Words.
