SENIOR BOOSTER 23 WILL RACHEL COHEN We, the June ' 32 class of Manual Training High School, in making ' our last will and testa- ment, do leave to our heirs and their assigns forever the following: To the next June class, we leave our eminent principal and guiding sponsors. Also, we turn over to it a specified green hammer to be found in the left top drawer of the desk when not employed hut which, if our heirs have taken after us, will likely more often be in use. Further use of this will he more clearly ex- plained in roll call by the honorable sponsors. To those sophomores or underclassmen who find that there are no desks available that suit them in their classrooms, we leave the seats in the office which have been made comfortable through much usage. To those who enjoy gymnastics and find the gym inconvenient and crowded, we cheerfully dedicate the spacious halls of our school, but on the condition that they must confine them- selves to mere walking or skipping. If hand- springs or other such feats are undertaken, the executors of this will will be forced to with- draw the aforesaid privilege. To those studiously inclined, we dedicate the library filled with interesting volumes of Shakespeare and Dickens. To the playful f resides, we give and bequeath the smooth long banisters of our manv flights of stairs to take the place of our time honored elevator. To the athletes, we bequeath our basketball and football teams and also a number of good men to lake the place of those who are leaving. We give and bequeath to those interested in the dramatical part of our school life, a group of workers to work backstage as well as the actors, with that perseverance and quality of labor that goes to make up an immensely sue cessful class play. To the worthy students who work hard the fourth or fifth periods of their daily routine and are in need of rest and amusement, we leave those long auditoriums. We also insert here the hope that one will eventually come along which will last the entire day. Being the bicentennial class, we take the pleasure of placing George Washington in trust for one hundred years, so thai the gradu- ating class at that lime may enjoy his tri-cen- tennial celebration and the numerous lectures and talks that we have endured. To those pupils who, in their anxiety to get to school, have forgotten to eat breakfast, we leave the Brown Giants, to be eaten either in the classrooms I under cover) or in the halls. And lastly we leave, to all. the friendliness, good will, and cheerfulness that has char- acterized our class in its years here in this school. CLASS HISTORY Concluded from page 19 mony, written by Rachel Cohen, we bequeathed to all the undergraduates the happiness of our four years in Manual. We also decided that another symbol was necessary, so, as we were the George Washing- ton bicentennial class, we left what we thought would be the most fitting gift. Fifty dollars was sent to the Washington foundation to aid in restoring as a national shrine Washington ' s birthplace at Battle Creek. Virginia. With the remaining money, we bought a bronze plaque which we presented to the school. The plaque contains a head of Washington in has relief and also his favorite motto, Nothing but harmony, honest, industry and frugality are necessary to make us a greal and happy people. And now our commencement is in sight. We are still marching along the road to knowl- edge. We are Not to the Top but Climbing. CLASS FLAY Concluded from page 21 Sewing .

21 SENIOR BOOSTER IVY DAY CARL JOHNSON Sometime in the future, as we recall the happy days we spenl at Manual, this page will lake us back to thai memorable afternoon f May 20, 1932, when we, the June ' 32 seniors, presented our Ivy Day program. Then we will further realize how fitting our motto. Not to the Top but Climbing, really was for us. High school is only a step in the climb up the hill to success, as Helen Sanford, our banner maker, pictured it. The design shows E. M. T. 11. S. at the bottom of a high hill with a beautiful castle ai the top which represents success. This top- mosl point can only be reached by hard and continuous work. We owe the success of our Ivy hay mainly to the general committee and to .Miss Webster who was sponsor of the program. Members of the committee were: Magell Lackey, chair- man, Clara Lark, Virginia Liese, and George Strieker. A sketch, ' The Mirror of The Future , was cleverly given. Those who were members of the iast were: Robert Dickinson, John Carter, Zelpha Schneider, Selma Meyer, and Mary Tie- fert. During the playlet, various members of the senior class were impersonated as they are Likely to look twenty years from now. Follow- ing this, a one-act playlet called Dig Busi- ness was given. John Carter took the part of Mr. Uford, the attorney, and what a lawyer he was! Virginia Liese and Robert Dickin- son were also in the play. We wondered, as we watched the performance, if any of these young people would become professionals in the dra- matic field. Next on the program were some songs by a selected quartette composed of Hilda Kuchler, Catherine Beckman, Thelnia Wright, and Magell Lackey. Herbert Spacke also added his hit to the program by singing. This was followed with a tap dance by Nora Mae Nichols and Ethel Lyons, those dancing marvels. Surely, we thought, the names of these talented people will be in bright lights in the near future. The Ivy Day song, written by our class mu- sician, Thelma Wright, was then played, and Ernestine Moore ' s Ivy Day poem was read. As the crowning feature of the whole Ivy Day program, William Henzie, our class presi- dent, presented to our principal the ivy vine from the senior class, after which Mr. Mc Comb gave his interpretation of our motto, Not to the Top but Climbing. Ceorge Wahl. president of the January ' • ' class, accepted the silver trowel offered him by our president and agreed to pass it on to the next president. The program was ended with the singing of our beloved school song, and everyone went to the gym for the party and dance which for years has followed the Ivy Day ceremony. As we left, after a truly happy time, we knew that our class had added another chapter to Man- ual ' s Ivy Day tradil ion. IVY DAY POEM Oh ! ivy vine, so thin, so frail, We think of you as the Holy Grail. It led men on to greater deeds. When we think of you. we must succeed. We plant you on this Ivy Day, As we start along life ' s highway. As you climb, we know that you. Will help us always to be true. As we look at you. ivy vine, we feel You will help us reach our highest ideal. As Sir Galahad in search of the Holy Grail, When we think of you. we cannot fail. —Ernestine Moore. IVY DAY SONG Memories and friendships call us. Here where we plant this ivy vine: We hope that it will live always. And bring memories to our minds. Now our school days are over. We ' ll be drifting apart. But still the memories of Ivy Day Will linger in our hearts. Memories will come back to us. As the years one by one pass by. Of that small frail vine we planted Hoping it would never die. With that little vine we planted Our promise to be true. And cherish memories of Ivy Day, And dear old Manual too. — Thelma Wright,
