SENIOR BOOSTER Page Re ratteen By MILDRED BILL •THE WEARIN OP THE GREEN. Four years ago in the ninth month of the year 1923, the -June 1927 class hoarded the brig Manual, by means of the auditorium. True to type, we reverted to The Wear in ' of the Green, and although our sophisticated airs made us appear very much at home, down deep in our trembling hearts we were a wee bit afraid at the thought of leaving the familiar harbor in the brig whose gangplank we had just traversed. However, Mr. McComb, the skipper of our brig, quickly and easliy revived our failing spirits, and sent us to our respec- tive staterooms anticipating the coming years of our voyage. During the first year of our journey we en- deavored to show the crew of dear old Manual that we were able to break the bonds of timid- ity and ignorance which had at first held us in thrall. We gazed eagerly into the future and were so enraptured at finding ourselves sophomores that we deigned to look down upon those who had just begun their voyage. Again time scored and we found ourselves thoroughly enjoying our third year on the brig. Our pride had by this time been avenged and the poor, innocent freshmen were allowed to wander peaceably about, unmolested by us, the high and mighty juniors. Through mighty gales and innocent little storms our bark has weathered its course, and now we are tasting all the joys and bliss in life — we are seniors. We realized it was high time we were choos- ing a crew and managing our own bark, so let us see what we have done toward that end. -Till-: WEARIN ' OF THE ORANGE. October 8, 1926: — Knowing full well that no ship can sail without a skipper and proper subordinates, we elected Edwin Boswell Cap- tain. In order to he prepared should Ed suffer from seasickness, we gave Albert Rubush the position of First Mate. We then entrusted the keeping of our log-book to Josephine Carter. Since Clyde Hutton looked able to keep off all possible persons with sticky fingers, we elected him Purser. October 20. 1!I2 !: — Uncertain as to what color we should fly. a committee composed of Beth Burns, Dorothy Supple, Elizabeth Min- ton, Pauline West, and Katherine Dolk was appointed to solve that difficulty. November 3, 1926: — The choice of the class was Indian Orange. Our brig certainly sails under a brilliant flag! December 1. 1926 : — We now wished for a flower to supplement our color, so a committee was appointed composed of Ona Lyday, Elmer Wallman, and Mildred Hines. Also in need of a motto committee, the following were ap- pointed : Charles Creasser, Mildred Hill, and Blanche Stillabower. The class also saw tit to elect Mildred Hill historian. December 8, 192(5 : — We chose the symbolic American Beauty Rose for our flower. After discussing plans for the Christinas party, an entertainment committee composed of Edna Green, Marie Schneider, and Joe Risley was appointed. December 17, 1926 : — According to the senior custom a Christmas party was held in the girls ' gymnasium, the admission being either money or a toy. Oranges were purchased and given along with the toys to the Day Nursery. Knowing the class had given joy to the hearts of children the seniors felt the party was highly successful. January . , 1927: — We entrusted our future to Dorothy Supple, our distribution of gifts to Myrtle Gummel, and the compiling of our own last will and testament to Beth Burns. February IT,. 1927:— Full speed ahead! The very first business meeting of our final term and the first hi]) of the homeward voyage! Our brigantine had proceeded so well with its former officers, that we reelected all of them. February 23, 1927:— The June, 1927 class elected Miss Tipton to take charge of the Ivy Day program. We sincerely hope that we broke no cameras at the National Studio, as we had our pictures taken there. March 1, 1927: — Miss Perkins, assisted by a committee of seniors chose for the class play Prunella, or Lore hi a Dutch Garden. After the enthusiasm had died down to some extent.

Page Eighteen SENIOR BOOSTER By DOROTHY SUPPLE In the rear of our Lord nineteen hundred and twenty-seven in the spacious lunchroom of our magnificent institution of learning, my es- teemed and worthy classmates found it their pleasure to elect me prophet. Since such an honor has been bestowed upon me, and after deep consideration. I deem it altogether fitting and proper that I write a prophecy. Having thus spoken I shall defeat Old Man Time in his swift flight and find myself in the year 1937. I perceive that all my former classmates are reaching varied goals. Clyde Hutton reaches many goals. He is ranked among the best of the football players in America. Edwiu Boswell and Marie Schneider are thinking seriously of marriage. Marie is the president of the Foreign Missionary Society and Ed is president of the Men ' s Club. The two clubs are planning a debate upon the sub- ject of marriage. Both Ed and Marie are de- termined to win. Edwin Cambridge and Howard Ulrey are taking leading parts in the foremost theater in New York. They are the most efficient ushers the theater has ever known. Fred Davenport, a well known scientist, has discovered that the formula for water is H20. He will probably receive a medal. Helen Dickman and Mildred Hill, two of the social leaders in the city, recently entertained Count De Change, who. before the inheritance of his title, was Leslie Hall. Lowell Good is editor of the Pumpkin Center Seed, a highly praised and extensively read newspaper in Pumpkin Center. Huldali Schaefer is the society editor. Lemuel Brown is now giving a series of lectures. His purpose is to interest people in public-speaking. Leonard Harrison is selling cigars for the India Rubber Cigar Company. He has been successful in making the public believe that they go further. Lester Cunningham and Harold Fahrback are in the real estate business.

Charles Creasser and Arthur Viewegh, valued employees of the Bell Telephone Com- pany, are at present perfecting a device to prevent birds from eating currents in the elec- tric wire. Elmer Wallman is an ideal example of a person starting at the bottom and quickly reaching the top. He operates an elevator in the Woolworth Building. Nathan Blackmore is the president of the Gardener ' s Union. He decided upon his pro- fession while working on the play Prunella. He just kept digging until he succeeded. Max Davis and Alex Epstein own one of the largest department stores in the state. Sarah Bookatman is in charge of the employment of the sales ladies.
