SENIOR BOOSTER Page Twenty-one June CLASS GIFTS L.aivrence L.auqh(in A 1928 f 7 he motor roars, and the taut wires on the I stays in the wings scream a protest as I bring J the special Giftorian plane of the June ' 28 class out of a long zoom. I, Lofty Laughlin, chosen pilot for this hop, look down at Manual Training High School below me. I see the craned necks and upturned faces below, and am able to discern a few well known seniors. I see the rest of the senior class, waiting for me to drop the gifts which I have decided to distribute. Taking careful aim, I shall begin dropping the gifts into the crowd and shall endeavor to drop each one near the person for whom it is intended. I wonder if this big package we have for Wayne Farmer will reach him. Well, here she goes! And so we give to Wayne a barber shop and two life- time customers: Rocky Harris and Dick Hawthorne. To Evelyn Evans and Dorothy Vaughn, our prospective nurses, we give Dr. Michael and Dr. Schwartz to make love to. To the dentists, the Kollinger twins, we give the task of making false teeth for Dick ' Fogarty and Joe Calderon. After a nose dive and a tail spin, we drop a trunk to hold the Top Ten pins of Elizabeth Rad- cliffe, Helen Thompson, Anna Marie Sander, and Robert Bernd. To Roberta Craven, Grace Hoffman, and Irma Schakel, our red heads, we give to each a bottle of henna. To Marceta Dukes we give the honor of writing a history of Goofer Feathers. To Homer Dupee and Carl Stoycheff, our roam- ing fiddlers, we donate a one-way ticket to the Rosin Islands. They won ' t come back. To Margaret Bollinger we give Oliver Blake ' s book on the correct way to laugh. To Harry Zaiser and Delbert Mather we give the honor of making Lindy ' s next plane. To Willy Safrin we give the position as chief model at Fashion Park. To Bob Stiegelmeyer we give success in his literary undertaking, Adventures of Boone. To Max Albrecht I drop a 1,000 pound weight to wear on top of his head. Satisfaction guaran- teed. To Ruby Leister we give a formula of how to make ice. To Fred Fechtman we give smelling salts to bring him out of the fog. To Mildred Kord we give a pair of stilts to ele- vate her body as high as her head. To Kathleen Snider we give a prescription for non-chatter oil written by Dr. Mendell to be filled by the pharmacist, Frank Olshan. To Lola Berry, our only student who lives in the sticks, we give the information that Lind- bergh has flown across the Atlantic and was re- ceived by a large throng of French people.

To Amelia Rose we give a star to put in her heavenly crown of glory for her charitable work for the Family Welfare Society. To Art Hartson we give a large placard to replace all the small cards on which he kept his score for each basketball game. To Jean Davidson we give Frank Henzie ' s per- manent wave; and to both, we give a box of rouge. To Pearl Kestenbaum we give a set of false teeth. It might curb her talking. To Hazel Carter we give a patent on her hair cuts. To Margaret Marker we give a rattle for her ability to cry like a baby.

For this support, both financially and otherwise, the staff of the June 1928 Senior Booster wishes to thank Class Memories Each member of the June 1928 graduating class has made his mark, whether high or low, dur- ing his four years sojourn here at Manual. Each has by this time decided the field of endeavor which he would most like to make the scene of his activities when he has finished his education. Some will go to college, others will continue their educa- tion in the hard school of experience in their chosen vocation. Memories of days spent at Manual will remain through these years of success or failure, and remembrances of the senior play, Class Day, Ivy Day, and other traditional senior functions will not fade as the years go by. Friendships made in the past four years will continue, and others will be renewed in the passing of time. Whatever the station we may attain, there will always be the free camaraderie that there has been at Manual. But of all the memories that will cling through the years, let the memory of our class motto, with its great truth and significance, be our guide in all our attainments. Let the motto be ringing in our ears long after other memories have been dimmed by Time, the great thief. Let our li ves and hopes be patterned after it. Let us Kxve to So, ot So to IGtur. A Farewell Flight The June 1928 class is making its maiden flight into the world. Four years of preparation have been spent at Manual in order to insure this ven- ture being a success. We have not been unaided during this period of preparation. We have been guided, advised, and assisted in many ways by that loyal and true group — the faculty. In our journey through life we shall miss their friendly sympathy for our faults, and their interest and pleasure in our achievements. But most of all we shall miss the faithful assistance which they have freely offered for all our undertakings. Especially in our senior activities — the class play, the Senior Booster, Ivy Day, Class Day — they have endeavor- ed to make our senior year a success. Words alone cannot show all of our appreciation for their serv- ices. We can only hope to show a semblance of the gratitude we feel for those who have contributed in any way to make our senior year the last and best. Therefore it is with great sincerity that we address to the faculty our last message as Manual students. We, who are about to leave, salute you.

Page Twenty-two SENIOR BOOSTER June CLASS HISTORY Herman Kline 1928 (Being the facts and incidents of our trial ;An September 8, 1924, we first entered our plane, L I Manual High , to fly to the Land of Oppor- tunity. Our pilot, E. H. Kemper McComb ; gave us final instructions, and we seated ourselves for the first leg of the flight. Being inexperienced, we made a somewhat perilous take-off, but man- aged to right ourselves after a short time. Each pilot-student was given the privilege of choosing his own post on the plane. After two months of fast flying, we first sighted the ground of Illiter- acy. Flying low, we noticed a slothful, ignorant type of people, whose cities were dirty. No pro- gress was apparent. They moved and lived as though in total darkness. We shuddered to imagine a life of this kind. While passing over the lateral region of this kingdom, we suddenly became pos- sessed with an indescribable feeling. Our altitude and longtitude were uncertain; we could not steer the ship with equilibrium. It was noticeable that the crew was not trained for such a trip. After consulting the Chief-pilot McComb, we were forced to return. On September 8, 1925, when all was ready, we changed posts and signaled our intentions of be- ginning a similar flight to the Land of Opportun- ity. Our path this time took us over the Land of Failure. The inhabitants of this land were a dreamy, haggard, and indifferent race. Their land was mostly rocky and hilly, and no cultivation could be seen. But even though the land was in such a dilapidated state, it seemed to hold en- trancing music of some sort. We were always on the verge of descending to the Land of Failure; only the warnings of our pilot and the utmost will- power on our part saved us. We flew a straight course, but the length of that nation was great, and we soon became perturbed over our failure to over- ride it. Our flying experience so far was not to be boasted of, and Pilot McComb, sensing this, gave the orders to return. Our third attempt was inaugurated on Septem- ber 7, 1926, over the marshy land of Unprepared- ness. Our course was duly laid out and our take- off made with great success. Our spirits were high on this trip, for often the crew would lustily sing the chorus of Onward Manual . When almost in the center of the Land of Unpreparedness, we suddenly encountered high-powered winds, which we later learned the people of that land called Marks . Hitherto our natural enemies had done us little damage; but now as we were nearing the and final flight to the Land of Opportunity.) final stages of our flight, the enemies ' powers be- came more dominant. Some of our men became unseated, but the greater number of them only seemed to tighten their holds on their positions. Pandemonium reigned for a few minutes. A quick decision was necessary, and because of the loose co- operation now among the men we were for a third time required to back-track our flight. On September 7, 1927, as we were now de- termined to try a fourth flight, we gathered again. To leave no problems facing us we held a consulta- tion and elected Parvin Hagan to pilot us; Jean Davidson was asked to become his assistant; while Marie Truitt was required to take data on the flight. Blanchard Smith became a second Hamilton of the crew and saw to the financial side of the project. We chose jade green as the proper color for our plane, and a lovely banner, designed by Albert Loo, was chosen on December 14. When asked what kind of floral decorations we wanted if we landed in the Land of Opportunity, we chose the American Beauty rose. Over one-half of the flight was covered before we found it necessary to change the different posts again. This time Parvin Hagan was again selected to steer the plane, while George May became his able assistant. Jean Davidson took over the work of Marie Truitt, and Richard W T itte became possessor of all the valuables of the crew. On March 6 we elected Lawrence Laughlin to act as giftorian. Katherine Kelly was called upon to prophesy the remainder of our flight and the future of each member of the crew. Carl Burris became our willmaker and contrived, with a lawyer ' s instinct, to make our last will and testament. Herman Klinge was requested to en- liven the universal populace as to the history of the flight. It was also necessary that we should have some kind of motto to signify our intentions of such a trip as this; so on March 6, we chose Live to do, not do to live. Storms again hindered but did not stop us. Everything ran in co-ordination. On April 19 we sighted the outskirts of the Land of Opportunity. We landed and were taken to the King ' s Palace, where we were introduced to the Little Princess . She was very charming and was greatly approved of by our men as well as by the populace of that country. On May 11 we left the King ' s Palace and flew to Ivy Day Field, in the midst of the Land of Opportunity. We were met by Mrs. Bing, who saw to our comfort and care. (Continued on Page 23)
