Faculty Adviser Miss Helen Haynes Your Ladder Is No Loftier Than Its Highest Rung. ' With the realization that Manual has furnished many vital rungs of our educational ladder upon which we seniors shall rise to fulfill our ambitions, there comes the knowledge that our ladder will never be completed and vet retain the purpose for which our class ehose the motto, We Build The Ladder By Which We Climb . As long a.s the ladder is being constructed, elevation in commerce, the professions and in society will continue. In the past twelve years we have developed and added greatly to our hereditary knowl- edge, in order to bring us nearer our objective. No one can hope to fulfill youthful ambitions without, continued endeavor until they are reached. And, they cannot be reached if development of the ladder is stopped; you cannot go higher than your highest rung-. GOODBYE, MANUAL! Goodbye, Manual ! Physically, yes — mentally, no ! From the familiar halls of Manual we shall scatter to the four winds, some of us to further our educational attainment, others to en- ter the vast world of business, but always in the recesses of our minds will be a mental pictui ' e of our high school and all of the things which our teachers, advisers and associates have made Manual mean to us. And even physically many of us shall return to the haunts of our high school days on occasion to thank and tell our former instructors and sponsors how much we have actually benefited from their efforts to give us a sound educational foundation on which to start life. As seniors, knowing that our high school career is almost completed, we realize the sincer- ity of purpose and wholeheartedness with which our various teachers have assisted us, ami as we shall soon depart on widely-diverging paths, the members of the June ' 36 graduating class take this opportunity to express their earnest thanks and appreciation to the faculty. -Fourteen

LILLY WINTER — Those laughing brown eyes, and that infectious giggle! Some com- bination, we ' ll say. From all appearances she plans to go high-brow on us someday. She belongs to the Art Club and will paint Cali- fornia scenes this summer. JUNE WITTENBRINK — - Tis said that prec- iou3 things come in small packages, so June is of great value. Evidently reading is her hobby for she likes literature and — also Melvin, a handsome member of our own ciass. EDNA WRIGHT — Edna was Mr. Schell ' s chief worry when she was in his Latin classes. Dorothy and Edna are inseparable or prac- tically so. Edna is continually laughing and talking. LENA VOSAFAT — One girl that can be class- ed as plenty cute. Filing is a favorite sub- ject of Lena ' s. Vivaciousness and pep are two qualities that make this Yosafat girl lots of fun. Some fellow will certainly appreciate the fact that Lena makes her own clothes. REBECCA ZIMMERMAN — Beautiful Kebec- ca. Not only is she beautiful but she really can dance. Certainly has a following of boy friends and girl friends. Pals around with Sara and Vicki, plus Leah. PAUL ZUMKELLER — Took part in Ivy Day program. Paul uses Ms basketball ability outside of school. Always seen with Dick Wenning. Better known as Zumie. MARGARET RRANSTETTER — The Shylock of our class. Ask Jimmie! That ' s why she fights with Ralph. Is a whizz in office train- ing and, like most of the other girls in this class, aspires to be the private secretary to some big business man who goes on vacation every other day. Masoma. ' --I V i l IVY VINE I W Pxoy Welch (Tune: ' ' Stardust ' ' ) Sometimes we wonder bow our ivy vine will climb : How long will it last? Will it outlive its represented class ! If it does, we hope its life is long-. Clinging to Manual ' s wall, Climbing ' for a destination. We ' re hoping it won ' t fall Until its situation Is that which if is striving for. As we set forth, we ' re like that Ivy vine. Merely tender sprigs. Starting out on life ' s long weary climb To success which we hope to attain. So as years pass on We ' ll recall this ivy song. And the vine that ' s planted here In memory will linger on. IVY DAY SONG By Mose Alvey (Sung to the tune of Prairie Moon ). Years may cease rolling by. Stars may fall from the sky, Bui our ivy will live through the years. Through all hardships and toils. May our souls e ' er be loyal. While our is si n ing In climb. Though things may not seem bright, we ' ll always fight To gain our ends, however hard. We ' ll accept with bright smiles All our troubles and trials. And remember our loyal ivy vine. Thirteen —

By CLASS HISTORY JUD JORDAN In September, 1932, a group of starry-eyed grade school graduates were admitted through the portals of what they later knew as the and . There they were welcomed and in- structed by Mr. E. IT. Kemper McComb and Mr. Clarence R. Clayton. Despite warnings issued by the above-mentioned members oi! the faculty, frolicsome upperclassmen waylaid the newcomers and gave them some uncomfortable moments during their first few days at Manual. Though their freshman year was spent in scholarly endeavor, as sophomores these pupils began to look to the lighter side of school life. In fact, the entire year was virtually devoted to frivolity. During their junior year they again settled down, put their noses to the prov- erbial grindstone and worked. It had taken two years of school for them to realize that required subjects and a certain number of credits were necessary for entering the senior roil room. Finishing their first three years at Emmerich Manual Training High School, they embarked on the liner, E. M. T. PI. S. One ' Thirty-five, and weighed anchor for a cruise to Port Com- mencement, The helm of the ship was ably maimed by Helmsman Clayton, while Miss Arda Knox was extremely competent as bos ' un; Jack Hiatt was elected captain (president) ; Herbert Schwomeyer, first mate (vice-president) ; An- gelo Angelopolous, keeper of the log (secre- tary) , and Dorothy Yfineman, purser (treasur- er ) . Soon after getting under way, the passengers attended the Ivy Day exercises aboard the E. M. T. PI. S. Two Seventeen, at the invita- tion of the charterers, the January 1936 senior class. It was there that John Cristina, captain of the January essel, presented Jack Hiatt with the silver trowel symbolic of the traditions of Ivy Day. Armband insignia worn by the guests were designed by Floyd Phillips. Again, later in the cruise, the crew and passengers of the E. M. T. IP S. One Thirty-rive were the guests of the January class at the observance of their Class Day. The first half of the voyage over, the captain and first mate were re-elected, Dorothy AVine- man was chosen keeper of the log and Angelo Angelopolous was named purser. At this time, the following midshipmen were chosen for these positions : Herbert Schwomeyer, gif torian ; Jud Jordan, historian ; Romanious Alvey, prophet ; Angelo Angelopolous, willmaker. The class motto, We Build the Ladder by Which We Climb, was chosen, and the banner was de- signed by PToyd Phillips. After six weeks had passed, a few of the pas- sengers were given temporary accommodations Fifteen — ■ in the brig (Green House). Though a great calamity to these unfortunates, their exile serv- ed to spur on to renewed efforts those who were lagging. Discovering a number of budding Thespians among the voyagers, the officers prevailed upon them to entertain the fleet with a bit of blood and thunder drama entitled Captain Apple- jack . The success of this play was largely due to the expert direction of Miss Vivian I . Webster. Following this play came Ivy Day. the first social function of the voyagers. The program was efficiently sponsored by Miss Violet K. Beck. A swing band provided music for a dance in the girls ' gymnasium which followed the program in the auditorium where the songs written by Romanious Alvey and by Roy Welch had been sung. Class Day, the most important social func- tion of the entire cruise, Avas celebrated with exercises in the auditorium under the sponsor- ship of Miss Margaret Kellenbach, and a dance followed. As the first of June, the day of disembarking at Port Commencement, draws near, all realize with regret that their days on the old liner are numbered. Vet they are confident that with the ideals inspired during this cruise, they shall prove worthy of the traditions established at Manual.
