Clayton Ivy Day Sponsor Miss Margaret Kellenbach Class Day Sponsor Miss Vivian Webster FIGHT, FORGE AND FAIL NOT Four years ago, we, the June ' 34 seniors, en- tered .Manual with hopes high, and our principal ambition the completion of our high school edu- cation. We realized then that to prevent failure and accomplish our purpose, it would he neces- sary to fight unflinchingly, and relentlessly forge ahead. Our highest pinnacle in high school has been reached, and as we enter the future to gain greater accomplishments we feel that we cannot fail with such a motto to inspire us. The future is only a more rugged extension il our high school career with more difficult and important problems to solve and a higher peak of life to reach. Just as we have attained our goal in high school, we now go out to put forth our supreme efforts to Fight, Forge, and Fail Not in climbing the future heights. JUST AU REVOIR This is our last chance to address all our teachers, friends, and classmates as a whole. Our sentiments go deeper than merely thanking everyone for past favors, or giving any of the customary farewells. We aren ' t really going to leave forever. When in later years our thoughts wander back to school days, the sensible ami intelligent influence of our faculty advisers and helpers will be freshly illuminated in our minds. And then we will be more than evei thankful for those precious days. But back to present reality — our thought of leave-taking now is done amid laughter and gaiety, for we have not realized yet that we, who have lived for four years in the atmos- phere of a splendid challenge — We Can, We Must, We Will, are actually leaving. Our intentions are to stride forth and make practical use of the splendid training that Man- ual has offered, and then come back again bring- ing honor and pride to our Alma Mater. So instead of saving farewell, we say, An Revoir.

CLASS PL AY By HENRIETTA WE1LAND SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS by Jessie Braham White Plays, stories, or in fact anything which points a moral are generally frowned upon as rather uninteresting and preachy. Not so the class play, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which was presented by the -June ' 34 senior class Thursday afternoon, March ' 1 ' 6, and Friday night, March 24. The fairy story is a captivating one filled with witches, talking cats, and dwarfs. The gallant Prince Florimond, splendidly played by John Hayes, not without apparent cause, fell in love with the wistful, naive Princ- ess Snow White on first sight. Jessie Levin as Snow White also captured the hearts of the en- lire audience by her unaffected simplicity and youthful charm. Inez Smith so skillfully enacted her role of the vain, selfish Queen Brangomar, who schem- ed to kill Snow White, that no one was sorry at the terrible fate which awaited her at the end of the story. Snow White had so endeared herself in the hearts of the servants that Berthold, the Chief Huntsman, engagingly portrayed by William Goldstein, deceived the haughty queen and took hack the pig ' s heart instead of slaying the in- nocent Snow White for Queen Brangomar. Merl Kord, the droll leader of the dwarfs, Viola Johnson, the naughty and youngest of them, and Harry Kirschner, the little one with the great big voice together with the other four little men all capably handled their parts with an odd and amusing seriousness causing lunch mirth and joy, while the erstwhile comed- ian, Leroy Fisher as Sir Dandiprat Bombas, Court Chamberlain, was the reason for much laughter whenever he was before the lights. Several times the spectators experienced op- posite emotions as Goldie Dichner, Witch Hex, sent shivers down their spines by her dry, cack- ling laugh and weird, ininatural voice. She was excellently aided by the two black cats, portray- ed by Chestine Miller and Lloyd Cain. Returning to the realistic again, the court at- mosphere was picturesquely supplied by the maids of honor, the royalty, pages, heralds, and flunkies of the palace. It need hardly be mentioned that like the char- acters of all fairy stories they lived happily ever after. The staff, headed by Miss Perkins and Mr. Finch ably assisted by other teachers and students, deftly performed the numerous coach- ing and back stage duties necessary to make everything appear just right out front. Property, costume, poster, and business com- mittees spent many valuable hours prior to the performances, all of which materially aided in its successful presentations. Music was played by the orchestra under the direction of Mr. Winslow.
