CLASS DAY By magaukt i-ost.ma Gaily, yet regretfully, we took our scats for the last class party of our high school years. We were glad, as we always had been, to have a chance to break away from the regular routine of school work, but we were sad when we thought that this event would end our happy high school days. However, our spirits were lightened when the curtains opened un a farce representing our own class play. Captain Applejack . Poppy, played by William Kosaveach, was pacing the floor in what appeared to be a feminine evening- gown with low hack and sparkling diamonds. Pacing in the opposite direction was Auni Agatha, James Allanson, groomed in feminine garb but lacking a feminine voice. They seem- ed troubled about Ambrose or Captain Apple- jack, played by Goldie Pardo, who entered, making a remarkable effort to look manly in oversized pants. He dismissed them both as Anna, Jimmie Cole, entered and fainted in his arms. Love at first sight! The Hindoo magi- cian, Ruth Reed, and his wife, Charles Arthur, spoiled the enchantment by another feigned fainting. This time the victim was brought hack to consciousness by the fanning of the Hindoo ' s arms. The maid, Emery Creekbaum, with typi- cal waitress costume disclosing her well-groomed legs, cried Lights Out in a deep masculo- feminine voice as the curtain closed. The pirates, Esther Katz, Marie Moates, Marie Haynes, Rose Ellen Berndt, Louise Bourgonne, Margaret Postma and Jessie Winkler, led by Borolsky, Maureen O ' Dwyer, completed the hil- arity by rumbling aye in high-pitched voices. The fight between Captain Applejack and the seven pirates for the treasure chest was lost by the pirates, who dragged off their wounded com- rades. The Captain, to he thorough with the folly, presented the treasure chest containing valuable documents to Poppy. On the top of all other documents in the che.-t was the class history. As it was read by Jud Jordan, historian, we heard for the last time what we did during our four years of study and fun at Manual: many of these events wo will long remember. But not for long were we allowed to be ser- ious, for Romanious Alvey, class prophet, be- gan his illustrative description of our fellow classmates in future years. Here and there came a sudden burst of laughter as a senior heard himself or herself described. Could it ever happen ! The next reach into the chest brought forth our will written by Angelo Angelopolous, the legal minded member of our class. And in the bottom of the chest we found our giftorian ' s speech wherein he distributed our few but im- portant possessions among the remaining Man- ualites. .Much of the success of our Class Day program we owe to the efficient sponsorship of Miss Kell- enbach and the other teachers who came to our assistance. CLASS WILL By ANGELO ANGELOPOLOUS We, the members of the June 1936 Senior Class at Emmerich Manual Training High School, city of Indianapolis, county of Marion, State of Indiana, being of sound mind, memory and understanding, do make, publish and de- clare the following as and for our last Will and Testament that is to say : 1st, We hereby revoke all wills, codicils, or testamentary instruments by us at any time heretofore made. 2nd.

IVY DAY Bv IV A MAE STUDEBAKER THE IVY By DeLoris Rahm I look upon the ivy Clinging there upon the wall; Its every tendril seems to say I ' ll climb! I shall not fall! ' In face of storms and heating winds It thrives and onward vines. The lender, graceful ivy there Tenaciously it climbs. We, like the ivy, must not fall, Though storms upon us heat- Steadfastly on, through rain or sun At last success we ' ll meet. Thy teachings, Manual, are to us As the vine upon the wall. Our Manual song is the song of the vine — I ' ll climb! I must not fall! Manual has several traditions which will al- ways remain. One of these is the observance of Ivy Day which lias been celebrated by every graduating class since 1909. To continue this custom, we, the graduating class of June ' 36, gathered in the auditorium on the afternoon ox May 17 to observe our own Ivy Day. As we filed down the aisles, we beheld our banner designed by Floyd Phillips. It was a beautiful blue and white emblem displaying a rising siui and carrying our motto, We Build the Ladder by Which We Climb. As we looked, many of us realized we must begin to build our ladder in the early morning of our lives if we wish to attain success. A skit, They Reminisce, written and spon- sored by Miss Beck, was presented by Hope Brown, Robert Crouch, Alma DeBaun, Geral- dine Gilliatt, Herschell Kopp and Richard Wen- ning. Gathered in a living-room, the group discussed outstanding events of the past four years, while members of the class pictured them by pantomime. Some of the incidents recalled to our memory were the visit of the choir from the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music, a scene from our class play and a member of the basketball team in action. Concluding the skit, Geraldine Gilliatt sang an Ivy Day song writ- ten by Roy Welch. In a more formal manner, Jack Hiatt, presi- dent of our class, presented the ivy to Mr. McComb, who accepted it on behalf of the school. In his reply, Mr. McComb talked to the class about happiness and our opportunity for find- ing it. Jack Hiatt then gave the silver trowel to the January ' 37 class president, William Egg- Nineteen — ert, and in accepting it, the latter promised to continue the tradition of the ivy vine. Our Ivy Day poem was read by DeLoris Rahm. After singing the Ivy Day song, written by Romanious Alvey, the group adjourned to the girls ' gymnasium for a party, with the January ' 37 seniors as guests. The success of the program was due to Miss Beck, sponsor, and her committee which includ- ed Hope Brown, Alma DeBaun, Velnia Iverson and Floyd Phillips.
