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
