20 S TJX T O R BOOSTER Senior Play THE TAILOR MADE MAN Iona Johnson The very title makes one want to straighten his tie and adjust his glasses or, in the other case, produce a compact and lip stick. When the curtain dropped on the afternoon and evening performances of Tailor-Made Man, one almost wished there were a dozen more scenes of this rollicking comedy. For weeks the members of the June class were held in suspense, waiting for that im- portant issue to be decided. What would the class play be? At last that matter came to a close only for the class to be faced with a still greater anxiety. Who would be the leading- lady? Who would be the hero? When finally those matters also were decided, the excitement was over (for the majority) until the actual performance. But not so for the ones in the cast, for it meant hard practicing every even- ing until six oi- seven o ' clock. Miss Lola Per- kins and Miss Boyle gave hours of time coach- ing the cast which so successfully reflected their excellent training. Nevertheless, the hard work did not eliminate lots of fun. At the last minute, the hero frantically searched his pockets for his bow tie; the valet nervously paced back and forth muttering to himself; the dignified society lady limped around in her new satin pumps. Meanwhile the orchestra out front, directed by Mr. Wins- low, gave forth rapturous notes as if to cheer up the would-be actors and to infuse them with new courage.

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.

S •; N I O R 8 T E R 21 Senior Play TECHNICAL STAFF lona Johnson The curtain came to on the first act! The actors hurried off to change costumes; stage hands rushed on, each seeming to covet a defi- nite object. In the semi-darkness of the back stage, low toned orders were given and carried out with alacrity and within a few minutes critical eyes were appraising the scene for the last time before the curtain rose for the next act. But in order that the performance might go off smoothly — without a flaw — it was nec- essary for all concerned to have previous train- ing and preparation. Mr. Finch and his as- sistants spent long tedious hours working out settings and the lighting system for the play. The property committee, directed by Miss Baldwin, searched every nook and corner for ironing boards, tape measures, shears, and flat irons. The publicity was most gratifying. Mrs. Ding ' s Composition VI II class edited three issues of The Tape Measure, which was dis- tributed to the entire student body. Fosters were made by George Figg, Martha Walthers, Norfred Weaver, and lona Johnson. Miss Ilaynes ' Salesmanship class conceived the idea of printing in red Tailor .Made .Man on the paper napkins in the lunch room and having gas filled balloons of brilliant hues along the ceiling to notify the Manualites of the ap- proaching play. Both teachers and pupils expended much effort to make this class play a success and a vote of thanks is due the members of the tech- nical staff.
