y,?-:SN-, W. .:n....... .,...-.... -t-W... . M... 3.4.3 Li l.. -f lf ft lj t Q ., xx Your first real thrill came when at Manual's great Welcome Home and Victory Pageant you realized the part Manual men had taken in the World War. lt sort of made you feel sorrynthat you did your German homework during the Manual Patriotic Service League Sessions' The pen continued to speak: wllhen followed your 'wise fool' or Sophomore period when you thought you'd tell the world things. How far more superior than the insignificant little Freshman you believed you were. In June, '19, your wisdom led you to help circulate the Less Homework Petition and ohl what a shock it was when you found your homework increasing. During Speech Improvement Week you eradicated for more likely was supposed to eradicatel some of the defects in your speech. The installation of a chapter of Arista in your school proved to be another milestone in its history. In its ranks I see a good number of the members of your class, including all of the oflicers. In February, '20, the snow shoveling fiasco took place and of course you recall the good time fand lame backj connected with the war on the snow-pile. About the same time, basketball as a regular athletic activity was revived and Manual celebrated by hanging the crepe on Erasmus in the first game. ln the meantime you were growing more sensible and advancing all the time so that it was not long before you found yourself a lunior. The outstanding feat which occurred was the revival of the school play and your class was well represented in the cast of the 'Fortune Hunter, when it appeared at the Academy of Music. The 'Manual Weeklyf a new organ, first saw light of day and was received with joy by the student body. At this time Senior Day was instituted and for one day the Seniors let fly their dignity and became rollickin', frollickin' kids. Your next step, spoke the dispenser of ink, was into the realm of the great and mighty Senior and what joy you showed at having eluded the traps of the Regents Board so far. Possibly the most noteworthy attainment of the school during your Senior year was a one hundred per cent G. O. membership. I say possibly because during the same term Manual's football team defeated that of Erasmus for the first time since you were in school, aided, of course, by various members of your class. On Senior Day your class duplicated the tactics of the last class with as little propriety. On May 5th they assembled in the Auditorium and learned from various prominent professional men the secrets of success. This was the first meeting of its sort in the history of Manual and of course it remained for your class to start it. In turn the school play, 'Young Americaf the Senior 'Prom' and the beach party all held your interest, but when the idea of having this Year Book had matured S0mewhat you were lost in the maze. As a result of some real hard labor fask the staflj before you rests an incorporation of Manual as we saw it and it will form the object lens through which your classmates will sec it in the years to come.'l Thus spake the pen. l'2Tl
