In School Sales Norman Palmer Sponsor Miss Hayncs OUR BOOSTER Following the trend of modern thoughts, modern ideas and modern realizations, this, our Senior Booster, has been published. Its designs are more significant than merely a modernistic treatment of ornamentation ! It is a symbol of modern thought. Seeing things in a clear light in a modern way is an achievement well worth attaining. A man who is forever living in an age remote or recently passed cannot adapt himself to life in the present in which, sorrowful to say, he must live. Consequently, he misses the im- portance of things about him and degenerates to a generation already dead. So must the man suffer Avho lives in the future. Today is not Yesterday nor is it Tomorrow. Today is Today and it must be lived. Think not of Yesterday; Yesterday is past. Live To- day and live it completely and you will have no time for Tomorrow, which will be per- fectly cared for. NOT FINISHED; JUST BEGUN — All experience is a broad arch wherethrough Gleams that untravelled world whose margin fades For ever and for ever when I move — Ulysses by Tennyson. As surely as the untravelled world shall al- ways gleam through the broad arch that marks our line of accomplishments, as surely as a new horizon spreads itself before us as soon as the present one is attained, as surely as to- morrow is never realized but that a new to- morrow appears, so surely shall Ave be able to say, We are not finished — just begun. When a man sinks back into the velvety com- fort of the chair of retirement, expressing with a sigh of self-satisfaction that he is finished or deplores the lack of opportunities the world has to offer his genius, then that man has ceased to live and begins to merely exist. He has ceased to produce for the world or himself and by ceasing he has drifted from life into existence. We, the senior class of June, 1929, have not finished. Spreading before us is a new horizon dotted with college — higher learning — exper- ience and Avorldly work. Through the arch of graduation gleams the untravelled world of life — Avork and education. It is our heritage to make the most of these offerings. It is our duty to use our heritage and to live. Realizing this, Ave the June class of 1929, could not have chosen a better AvatcliAvord to spur us on to greater efforts, could not have selected a better torch to guide us on the path of our ambitions than this, our motto, — Not Finished; Just Begun. William Winter, Editor. APPRECIATION A sincere and deep appreciation s ex- tended to all the members of the June class and to all the under-classmen and faculty members Avho so Avillingly lent their aid to the betterment of the June 1929 Senior Booster.

S E X () R H () ) 8 T •; , ' IT June Seniors Wayne Wigal — He is one of Manual ' s talented who plays in the band. Toots his trumpet — just like a professional. He is one of the senior hoys who helps hold up the scholastic record of Manual. Marian White — Is she as mean to all the little boys as she was to Hansel when she took the part of the witch in the Marionette show? Let ' s hope not. One of the reasons 213 is never quiet. Prompter in the class play. Ethel Wittenbrink— No, she doesn ' t own Pettis ' ! She-is just employed there. The exception in the Office Training classes — she ' s a quiet, little girl. Nina Wiley — One of Mr. Hanske ' s few — but wait! We ' ll elaborate! He says that she can sit in 213, and, while the gabble is going back and forth, study diligently. (Of course, there ' s a chance he may be prejudiced.) Eobert Yoke — Bob jumped into the limelight at the I. H. S. A. A. Gymnastic meet at Purdue by winning all-round hon- ors. Very modest about his feat. Belongs in a quite quiet quintet (it hasn ' t been organized yet, though). Herbert Woodruff — A steady worker, but he also has his weak- nesses — and they ' re also in the plurality. Girls, he has a never-failing supply of gum! CLASS OFFICERS George Figg — President. William Moon — Vice-President. Dorothy Anderson — Secretary. WlLBERT EGGERT — Treasurer. Class Color — Scarlet. Class Motto— Not Finished; Just Begun.

8 ■: A « ' IS ) 8 t •; R William Winter The tiny rootlets arc grasping — extending themselves into the bosom of the earth in search of the sustenance they need to grow and send leafy fingers up the sides of Manual, for the Ivy of the June class of l .»i- , .» has been planted. Symbolical of the spirit of our class, may our climbing Ivy be! In addition to our class march, the presentation of the Ivy Day Song, written by Frances Dearborn, the recitation of the Ivy Day Poem by E va Burger, and the gifl of the Ivy, there was enacted on the stage a reminiscence of Our School Days. Oh, Ivy — may you hold for us the memory of those pleasant days passed, and symbolize our growth in those days ahead. IVY DAY 1 ' OlvM Eva Burger Ah! Ivy of the freshest green, We plant you here in spring array, To keep our trust when we are gone, To live the memory of this day. Ah! Ivy Vine! Your roots are firm Within the soil ; Just like the courage in our hearts That we have gained through toil. Ah ! Ivy Vine ! Refreshed by Heaven ' s tears, (Ting to these walls with leafy branches strong, We have gained wisdom here And learned the beauty of a song. Ah! Ivy Vine! Symbolic of our love! We have been happy here united — we were one — Soon we must part to walk alone; our work is still Xot finished; just begun. A MILESTONE Frances Dearborn Onward, ever onward. Toward better things we strive; Ever we dream of the future. As we tread the path of life. But sometimes as forward we go, While our school days slip away, A day stands out in memory. As a milestone on life ' s highway. And so as we plant our Ivy On this day we call our own. Let us remember with sadness and joy Our Ivy Day, another milestone. OUR IVY VINE Helen Stringer O, Ivy Vine, we leave you here, In hopes that you will grow, Our trust in you, we ' ll never fear Our loyalty to show. Beside your walls, oh Manual, We June ' s of twenty-nine. Bequeath last famous words to flow Into the flight of time. Refrain Our farewell now is at an end, We ' ll pine no time away, Success to you we ' ll always send, Until we ' re old and gray. In you, oh Ivy Vine, we place Our spirit, strong and true, And our good name without disgrace To always ring true blue. This May the tenth, we now will sow. And always bear in mind, We left a sturdy plant to grow, To represent our kind. Refrain Our farewell now is at an end. We ' ll pine no time away. Success to you we ' ll always send. Until we ' re old and «-rav. Impossibilities are merely the half-hearted efforts of quitters. Some fellows learn from experiei never recover from them. ithers Success consists not so much in sitting up nights as in being awake in the daytime.
