IVY DAY By HELEN HOOP In future days when we seniors of the June 1933 class pass a certain vinecovered building, our dear old Manual, it will bring back to us those happy memories of the past that we lived within its walls. We shall still recall, oh so plainly, the different social functions which we attended there during our senior year. Among these one event. Ivy day, will stand out in our minds, and does now, as being the most symbolic of the true feeling we have for our school. On that day. May 12, 1933, as we marched down the aisles and took our places to watch the progress of our Ivy day celebration, we saw for the first time our class banner bearing the motto, First Weigh; Then Venture, which was sug- gested by Miriam Anderson. Craig Bosley was designer of the banner, red and white in color, which pictured a knight in armor preparing to go forth to conquer. First on the program were numbers by the brass sextet composed of John Click, John Carter, John Hayes, Carl Berdel, Leroy Fisher and Robert Maar. Ivy day songs written by Lillian May. Katharine Schuster and Josephine Bova were then sun ' by the class. Alice Stall- wood and Marthajane Zintel sang Kilmer ' s im- mortalized Trees. Pauline Moon, Eileen White, and Rosalin Wagner read poems which they had written to commemorate this day. The program was concluded by a xylophone solo played by Evan Miller. A more formal ceremony in which Raymond Meyer, president of our elass, presented Mr. McComb with the ivy which remains as the only living remembrance of our elass, followed. Ray- mond then presented the silver trowel to the January ' 34 class president, John Nackenhorst. who received it with the promise to uphold the traditions connected with the ivy vine. Mr. Painter was the sponsor of Ivy day and Virginia Teeguarden was the chairman of the committee in charge of the program. Those who worked with them on the program were Edgar Hohlt, John Click, Helen Hoop, Sarah Miller and Irvin Schwomeyer. The party which followed the formal celebra- tion was in charge of three groups of students under Miss Knox. Members of the social com- mittee were Annette Proctor (chairman), Caro- line Riethmiller, Edward Longwell, Theodore Wessel and William Lancaster. The music com- mittee consisted of Edgar Hohlt (chairman). Evan Miller, Dorothy Drake, Mildred Grow and Richard Burkhart. The business committee in charge of the affair was composed of Myra Moore (chairman), Violet Hanna, Francis Woodbeck, Foster Tilford and Ralph Cowden. A Tkougkt By KATHARINE SCHUSTER With memories sweet and so divine. We plant you here, dear ivy vine And as we go through life, our way We know you ' ll grow from day to day. Toward God ' s blue heaven you ' re going to climb A thought for us, dear ivy vine. Old Manual, it is now that we The June class of thirty-three Must say a world of good you ' ve done; We ' ve learned a lot, we ' ve had some fun; Like you we all must try to climb, A thought for us dear Ivy Vine. Ivv Dav M( y lyay J.v.Lemories By ROSALIN WAGNER I walked along an old brick wall. Where I found ivy vines grown great and tall ; Around the windows they had crept, And as I stood, 1 mused and wept. So true to life these vines they seem; I loved to look at them and dream What had inspired them most to grow 7 , What virtues did they fail to show? Oh, ivy vines, of memories here Some were sad and some were dear; Some vines were large, grown wide and tall And some were withered, hardly grown at all. And now we leave these vines to grow A memory as through life we go ; And may we all be great and tall Just as the vines on the old brick wall.
