ORGANIZATIONS - ' President Robei I Simpson | ' , ( ,11 .mi- Fu roKAN On behalf of Manual. I am happy to write a tribute to Robert T. Simpson, athlete and leader. The career of Robert Simpson is essentially the story of the big Football hero who became student body president. Bob was not content to serve his alma mater merely as an athlete, but by popular vote was raised to serve Manual as its leader. Bob ' s fiery sportsmanship and spirit won the admiration of the en- tire student body the very first time that he appeared before them in his initial football game. Bob Simpson, rah— rah, rah— Bob Simpson became a traditional yell at every game in thanks for his work as a last charging right end. He was tops in Manual ' s favorite spurt. Everyone liked this fellow, full of pep, school spirit and cheery smiles. His election as student body president came to him as a reward in one sense, and yet as a difficult task, for Manual has placed confidence in him, and depended upon him to make a success of the term. Nor did Bob betray this confidence, lie carried nut the objective of keeping ur school one of the highest in the city in sportsmanship, cordiality, and citizenship. Simpson ' s term of leadership was successful because ol the pleasant little things he always took an interest in those small tasks which a high executive can so easily overlook. He attended many clubs and was willing to lend a hand at any time, lie welcomed suggestions by the students and strove to carry out their every desire for improving Manual. isitors to Manual, no matter who they might he. were always made to feel right at home by his words ol welcome. This is the picture of our (.resident, a true Archer, symbolizing ac- curacy in the athletic events, and symbolizing skill in his leadership. Thus with him at the head of this fiftieth term, the period has been an overwhelming success. Bob, we thank you.

' () II A R T I S A N S ' 37 Robert Simpson, Student Body President With the departure of the Archer class another chapter of Manual Arts activity will be terminated. A period of events long to be remembered in the lives oi the members of this year ' s class will enter the annals oi memory. The time which spent in high school is the happiest in one ' s life and should be appreciated accordingly. Scholarship, although seemingly unimportant to many, is very in- fluential in later life. So every student should study his utmost while given the chance by the fine educational system of today. Manual has always stood high in athletic and social events, always spurred on by the remarkable spirit for which she is known and respected. If scholarship, athletic and social functions are mixed together with support as they have in the past, Manual will remain on top. I wish tn extend to the next year ' s cabinet the best wishes for the coming term, and hope that they ma succeed in everything they may at- tempt.
