IVY DAY Ivy Day! How well we shall remember it! Numerous were the occasions and events we encountered at Manual, hut we will remember none so clearly and vividly as our Ivy Day, the day when we planted the traditional ivy vine against the wall of Manual. As we filed down the aisles of the auditorium, all other thoughts were immediately dismissed from our minds, for we saw on the stage our beautiful class banner. The deep, green letters, To seek, to find, but not to yield, were em- broidered on a silver silk background. Upon seeing this, we were even more impressed by the significance of our motto than ever before. We are grateful to Kennard Kennedy, capable de- signer of our banner, and to Vivian McClellan, who made it so artistically. We remained standing while we sang our Ivy Day song, written by Fema Alhean. This was followed by the recitation of, Heights Un- conquered, our Ivy Day poem, by Beatrice Budnick. Then, in a more serious manner, the green sprig of ivy was planted by Don Emery, our president, who presented the traditional silver trowel, used in planting the ivy, to our prin- cipal, Mr. McComb. Mr. McComb acknowl- edged his acceptance and promised to pass the trowel on to the president of the next grad- uating class on its Ivy Day. To continue the ceremonies, a double quar- tette composed of Sophie Camhi, Virginia Fox. De Lois Swoboda. Pauline Mitchell, Robert Sponsel, Leslie Stallwood, Frederick Raker, and Chester Davis sang an Ivy Day song com- HEIGHTS UNCONQUERED Beatrice Budnick We come our Ivy Vine to plant Close to a solid wall And casually we say ' twill grow F ' or little do we know That braced against that pillar strong Begins the Ivy ' s strife, For it will ever reach and rise And conquer heights as prize. So, as the vine, we too shall strive We, too, seek heights to climb For we are young; let youth not fail Life ' s wall is ours to scale. posed by Hildagarde Kleffner. To conclude the program, the class repeated its motto. After the program, we all went to the boys ' gymnasium where we engaged in an Ivy Day party, with the Manual Pep Band, under the direction of Kephart Linson, as the entertain- ment. We wish to thank Miss Vivian Webster, in charge of Ivy Day, for a successful program. Also, our sincere appreciation goes to the pro- gram committee consisting of Fema Albean, Janet Hatten, Jack Kistner, Thomas O ' Nan, Mildred Otting, and Jack Retherford, and to all the members of the social committee. And so, in parting, the June ' 37 Class, also, has left for its school an undying remembrance of its class. A little sprig of ivy — to grow and live! —ISADORE CAMHI IVY VINE To the tune of Chapel in the Moonlight ' Words by Fema Albean On the wall of Manual Training We will plant our ivy vine To the sky it will be aiming And upward will twine. It will be our June class token Which we ' ll cherish for always As we look with our hearts broken When we think of Manual days. When the ivy starts its climbing Then we all dispersed will be And our lives will be in rhyming As we enter life ' s great sea. How we ' ll love to look back on it As we think of days gone by When we all were there together Our friendship to tie. BEAUTIFUL IVY Words and Music by Hildagarde Kleffner Beautiful Ivy Climbing so high As if to reach, that Heaven so high. Out of the forest Lovely and fresh Ever to guide us To success. Ivy, Beautiful Ivy May you ever represent Our golden class. Beautiful Ivy Growing so tall May you outshine them One and all. « 23f

JUNE ' 37 MARCHES THROUGH MANUAL September. 1933 We can. We must. We will. With these inspiring words our June ' 37 class was greeted just four short years ago. As freshmen we listened atten- tively as Mr. E. H. Kemper McComb, Manual ' s principal, instructed us upon our conduct as students of E. M. T. H. S. Finally we were dismissed and es- corted to our assignments by helpful Roines boys and Masoma girls. We were now well started on what promised to be four happy years at Manual. Our first year was a horror of sophomore ridicule, diligent study (in some cases) and, worst of all, one through ten. — June ' 37 Marches On. September. 19.34 As haughty sophomores we entered school again obsessed with one desire — ■ to get vengeance on the new group of freshmen. For a few glorious weeks we made them suffer even as we had. However, our teachers settled us down (after the first six weeks), and our second year passed smoothly. — June ' 37 Marches On. September. 1935 Now the frivolous and carefree days were beginning to fade. We attacked our studies zealously and began to think more seriously of the future. Many of our members were becoming prominent in school activities. Others were left behind in the battle for knowledge. — June ' 37 Marches On. September. 1936 Fresh from a restful vacation we entered Manual for our last glorious year. Knowing the necessity for capable class officers, we selected Don Emery, president; Wilbur Meyer, vice-president; Betty Stich, secretary, and Vestal Smith, treasurer. Miss Knox was appointed as class sponsor. Emerald green was chosen as class color. We wore our arm band, designed by Aileene Bra- zeal, at the January ' 37 Ivy Day for the first time. After finishing a joyous first semester, we elected officers for the coming half year. Don Emery was re- elected president ; Wilbur Meyer and Ruth Hale, vice-presidents; Betty Stich and Frances Davis, secretaries ; Vestal Smith and Lorene Hartman, treas- urers. Other offices were filled by Max Stein, prophet; Frances Davis, will maker; Dorothea Ann Graber, giftorian, and Ted Etherington, historian. To Seek, To Find, But Not to Yield was chosen as our class motto. On Ivy Day our class banner, designed by Kennard Kennedy, was proudly displayed. Don Emery as class president furthered tradition by presenting Mr. McComb with the silver trowel. A dance followed in the boys ' gymnasium. It was at this time that we were deeply grieved by the untimely passing of Mr. Ankenbrock, one of our faculty members. Several talented actors were discovered among us and a superior play, Remember the Day, was presented on May 6 and 7 under the able direction of Mr. Green. Class Day, our last important social function, was celebrated May 26 with exercises in the auditorium and the customary dance afterward. It is with joy and yet sorrow that we realize the time for parting is immi- nent. Still we realize that this school will never really be lost to us, but that in the future we ma} 7 return again and in a measure relive our four happy years at Manual. — June ' 37 Marches On. —TED ETHERINGTON
