XV APRIL, 1934 No. 7 F OREWORD In an effort to increase the subscription list of the Crimson and to give the Crimson staff a little money to work with, the Mitre Club publishes this issue of the Crimson. The Mitre Club hopes that on each page you will find enjoyment. The Mitre Club hopes that it has set a new standard for our school paper, the Crimson. Al- though the Mitre Club hopes it has set this new standard, thereby standing by the club motto, through the Mitre for school, the standard must be up-held by your cooperation in writing stories and securing ads.l' DEDICATION The Mitre Club dedicates this issue of the Crimson to Mr. Ray Baer for his untiring work in the class-room and his superb efforts in the coaching of football, basketball, and track. We wish him con- tinued success and greater glory in the future. OUR PRINCIPAL Through thick and thin, through fire and water, our principal, Mr. Chapin, would gladly go if he thought that it would help any true Manual student. For thirty-one years Mr. Chapin, at the head of our school, has guided the many students who have graduated from this institution. Many times the road he has had to take has seemed rough and bum- py, but after each detour there has always been a straight smooth road. When Mr. Chapin's wishes seem unjust, just think for a few minutes and you will see how his wishes benefit you, the students of Manual. Let me now, on behalf of the Mitre Club, thank Mr. Chapin for being the true friend that he is and for the interest he shows toward the student body of Manual. g ' he E' :.

Being the meeting place of the famous Dr. Johnson, Boswell, and other celebrites, the Mitre Tavern became famous. Although all ta- verns were meeting places for wits, poets, politicians, gentlemen and highvxaymen, none became more famous than the Mitre Tavern. THE CRIMSON 205 , ara? Q- At one time the Mitre Club was not known by the name Mitre: neither did it have any relationship to literary work. It was origin- ally a social club composed of eight freshmen who met in the spring and summer of 1898 at the members, homes, where different forms of amusement were participated in. The organizers, or charter mem- bers, were Bennett M. Brigman, Ben H. Brinkly, Charles Collins, Thomas Cutler, Charles Peckinpaugh, Julius B. Wille, Arthur R. Zachart, and George E. Zubrod. The club was later called the Liter- ary and Scientific Club. Mr. Collins was its first chairman and Mr. Zachart, secretary. In October of 1898 this club held its first meet- ing, one Friday afternoon at Manual. There it was reorganized and named the Mitre Club, after the Mitre Tavern in England, by Profes- sor Ira Davenport, then head of the English department of Manual. Additional members were taken in and the following officers were elected: president, Bennett M. Brigmang vice-president, George E. Zubrodg secretary, A. R. Zachart, treasurer, J. B. Wille. The Mitre Club, like most organizations, had trouble in becom- ing recognized. But through all of its trials and tribulations it has survived, until now it is well known throughout the entire common- wealth. The objects of the Mitre Club are to promote school Spirit, de- velop character, and to maintain a high scholastic standing. Some of the activities staged annually to uphold these standards are the cheer Continued on page 207 ,Y Q. R. . fi -s A i L 3 Lf?

Zubrod, Mitre Club Mr. Robert Batermann, president of the Washington and Lin- coln National Bank, sat next to his son, Edward, on the bank of a pond. Mr. Batermann said with a faraway look in his eyes, Edward, you've often wondered why this was always my favorite spot for picnics and hikes. Well, I'll tell you. Ed White and Bob Brown were inseparable companions. A close friendship had sprung up between them ten years before when the White family and the Brown family had moved on Locust Ave- nue across the street from each other. They had moved there almost within the same week. At that time Ed was nine and Bob was seven. Ed, now, was a boy nineteen years old. Ever since a day ten years before when he had bloodied a boyis nose for bullying Bob, Ed had sort of a feeling of protector for little Bob. Bob was, now, a boy of seventeen. A big boy with broad shoulders, Bob was a football player of no mean ability. He had loved Ed like a brother from the minute ten years ago when Ed had intervened on his part and sent a bully scurrying on his way. The only disagreement the boys ever had was when Ed went to Wilmington High and Bob took up the Colors of Barton High. Ed was taking a post-graduate course at Wilmington and Bob was a junior at Barton. Aside from this slight disagreement these two devoted friends would hardly be separated to eat. After school or on holidays the boys were together. If the sea- son was winter, coasting and ice-skating took much of their time. In the summer season they either swam, played tennis, or hiked. One cold day during the Christmas holidays Bob, Ed, and 'Mikel Chamberton, a neighbor and friend of the two boys, an- nounced to their mothers their intentions of going skating. Mrs. White, although the day was very cold and the ice was thick, sud- denly felt a little afraid something might happen. However, not wanting to disappoint Ed with her foolish apprehensions, Mrs. White smiled and said, 'All right, Edward, have a good time, but be careful of thin ice and air holes.' THE CRIMSON 219 Fd lauszhingly said, 'Don't worry. Mom. we cn'1: die once., Grabbfng a turkey leg under a storm of his mother's protests, Ed ran out of the house, without a care in the world, to get Bob. As the day was ideal, with no sign of a chance for the ice to melt, the three boys took their time in getting to the pond. When the boys got to the pond they found the ice even better than they expected. It was as smooth as glass with not a sign of a ripple that often appears on the ice. A crowd was on hand having a big time playing hockey. As the three boys were well-known among the players, they were soon in the thick of the game. As hours passed the crowd dwindled down until finally, the game having been broken up, only Ed, Bob, and Mike remained. As all were obviously tired, Ed suggested that they go take off their skates and rest before going home. Bob, however, had to go to the other end of the pond and get a pair of gloves he had left there, so Ed and Mike sat down to wait for Bob and to take off their skates. As the boys were just taking off their skates they heard Bob cry frantically, 'Helpl' Looking up Ed saw Bob going through the ice. Ed summed up the catastrophe in a flash, was on his feet and skating. As Mike re- covered from the shock, he heard Ed calling over his shoulder as he sped to Bob, 'Get help, Mike. Get help., Mike tore off his skates and ran as fast as he could to a nearby house. He looked back just in time to see Bob skate bravely, but foolishly, into the icy water with Bob. When Mike came back to the pond ten minutes later with a pulmotor and crew of men, he saw Ed holding Bob above the water and weakly calling, 'Save us.' A few minutes later Bob was lifted from the clutches of Ed and poor Ed, so fatigued, half frozen and already having done a super- human task, sank from sight. A half-hour later Ed's body was pulled out. The pulmotor worked on Bob and Ed for a long time. Finally Bob came to, but Ed never did. Edward, my Son, Bob Brown was I, your old dad. Ed White was your mother's brother. It happened twenty-five years ago to-day right here at this spot on just such a day as this. Edward, who had developed the same far-away look in his eyes during the course of the story as his father had, said, Gosh, Such loyalty. I wish our school had a tenth of that much loyalty towards our basketball team. A j 22O THE CRIMSON REVENGE By Charles Miller, Mitre Club Michael Grady was a big, husky red-head. He was one of the most likable fellows in the neighborhood. Mike's favorite sport was playing pool at the neighborhood saloons. Naturally he drifted in with the kind of people who usually patronize such places. One man he became friendly with was Spike,' Schultz, a ward politician. Of course, Mike took an occasional drink with the boys, but he seldom over-indulged. Tonight, however, was an exception. He had won heavily at pool and was treating the gang to drinks, so many drinks, in fact, that he was soon in a drunken stupor. He didn't even hear the shot. The first thing that confronted him upon his awaken- ing was the jail-bars. The turnkey greeted him with these words. Shure, and ye're in a mess, me foine laddie. Ye shot that no good Larry Lamont, last night. '1 he jailer was just finishing his words, when the corridor door opened to admit the dapper and smiling Spikel' Schultz. Spike was all sympathy, and he reassured Mike that Larry was only pinked, and that he would do all he could to get Mike out. That afternoon Mike was freed, and Spike met him on the outside. He soon became known as Spike'sl' lieutenant. Mike was well pleased with his new job. It was easy work. and the returns were plentiful. One day Mike was sitting in Schultz's of- fice when Ratty Wells, Schultz's ex-lieutenant, walked in. His eyes were blood shot, and he was reeking with liquor. He walked over to young Grady without speaking to Schultz. Pointing a shaking finger, he addressed Mike, Smart guy, you think you've hit a soft spot. You wouldnit be so cocky if you knew why Spike was being so sweet of you. Spike ........................... . Crack! Spike Schultz stood with his derringer smoking. It was an easy matter to fix things to look like suicide: mainly, the planting of the gun, and five hundred dollars to the coroner. Mike did a lot of thinking that night. He went to bed, but sleep would not come. He lay awake for ages, so it seemed, when he heard a sharp knock. He took his gun from the table and cautiously opened the door. There stood a man with his hand in his pocket. It was Lar- ,THE CRIMSON 221 ry Lamont. Lamont stepped in and wasted no time in coming to the point. I just saw Schultz, Mike. and he says you shot Ratty Wells. Say your prayers, mug, for I'm gonna bore you twice, once for me, and once for ................................ His sentence was cut off by Mike's pistol. Mike turned him over on his backg he was dead. Hastily he began putting on his clothesg but not quickly enough, for a cop, having heard the shot, was coming down the hall. Mike could not escape, so he hid behind the door. As the cop walked in, Mike slugged him and then fled. There was but one idea in his mind, Get Schultz. At four olclock the still morning air was rent by shrill voiced newsboys shouting, UEXTRA! EXTRA! The headlines read: DOUBLE MURDER. SPIKE SCHULTZ KILLED- MURDERER COMMITS SUICIDE THAT MAN, FROM PODUNKU By O. J. Dahl, Jr., Mitre Club It looked as if it would be a great night for the town named Po- dunk. The place for the great night was the Podunk A. C. gym- nasium. The reason for the great night was the annual basketball game between Podunk and Zilchville. The two teams were both un- beaten. and as they had been rivals for the past twenty-five years, the game promised to be a real battle. Podunk had a slight edge over Zilchville, as a Mr. Elmer C. Blunk was on their line-up. As a sort of reminder it may be said that Mr. Blunk first received his experience in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. He went to the Know-Moor Academy of Muscular De- velopment. He was now seven and a half feet tall and weighed three hundred and forty pounds when stripped. It was eight o'clock and the game was about to start. The Po- dunk coach was giving the final instructions when he noticed that Mr. Elmer C. Blunk was missing. The coach looked as if he was going to die, but then it seemed that he did not want to, so he just fainted. Then the assistant coach took charge and the game started without our Elmer. . 222 THE CRIMSON For three quarters Podunk was undoubtedly beaten, as the score was thirty to nothing in favor of Zilchville. just after the fourth quarter had started who should walk in but Mr. Blunk in his uni- form. He walked up to the assistant coach and said, Put me in, coach, I'll fight. Go ahead,', said the coach, and remember, it's all for dear old Podunk. Dear old Elmer entered the game with just five minutes left to play and proceeded to make fifteen field goals to tie up the score. About two seconds before the game was over a Zilchvilleman fouled Elmer, so he was given a free shot. Mr. Blunk first walked over to the score board and changed the Podunk score to thirty-one, then he walked up to the foul line and flipped the ball through the basket. The gun was then fired and the game was over. Men cheered, while women fainted, as Mr. Blunk was carried off the floor on the shoulders of his friends. He was taken to the dress- ing room where the coach congratulated him. When asked why he was late, Elmer said that he had to milk one of his cows to get some milk to drink with his Grape Nuts. Yes, sir, it sure was a great night for the town named Podunk. MY FAVORITE MOVIE ACTOR By Sherman Hinkebein, Mitre Club When my spirits are low and I feel in need of a few hearty laughs, all I have to do is to spend one hour with my favorite movie actor. He is neither tall and handsome nor short and fat, but the la- dies all fall for him. Even Ramon Navarro can take lessons from the ardent manner in which he woos and wins his lady love. When it comes to knocking out the villain, he surpasses Clark Gable or any other he-man of the screen. No matter how many obstacles are put in his path, he always seems to possess some miraculous power to overcome them. His musical voice, which has the power to soothe savage beasts, makes even Lawrence Tibbett envious. He is fleeter of foot than Tom Mix's horse, Tony, and a more graceful dancer than George Raft. I could go on for hours, raving about this super-man, but I will no longer keep you in doubt as to his identity. He is ............ Mickey Mouse himself. THE CRIMSON 223 IT HAPPENS IN THE BEST OF FAMILIES By Warren Morat, Mitre Club Dan Emerson stood in the middle of his room, a troubled frown on his good-looking face. From time to time he glanced at an invita- tion he held in his hand. The invitation was to the most popular and enjoyable dance of the season. Ordinarily Dan would have been hap- py as a lark over the fact that he had received an invitation to this dance, but a little word in the corner was the cause of his dismay. That word was formal and that meant Dan would have to wear a tuxedo. Now Dan did not own a tux. and although he had tried to persuade his mother to let him buy one, she had counciled against it, because he was growing so fast that she considered it a waste of mon- ey. His mother was out of the city visiting friends and she wouldn't be back until the day after the dance, so he couldn't look to her for help in the present difficulty, and he simply could not miss that dance. Suddenly an idea came to him. His dad owned a tuxedo. It was true he had owned it for some years and it might not be the last word in style, but a tux was a tux to Dan, and as he hurried to his father's room, he prayed that the suit would fit. Hastily he pulled off his sweater and corduroy trousers and took the suit from its cedar bag in the back of the closet. A few minutes later he gave a whoop of joy as he surveyed himself in the long mirror. He had just about grown into it. The sleeves were a trifle too long and the trousers could stand a few pleats at the belt line, but he was sure a tailor could make the necessary alterations on short notice. He tried calling his dad at the office before taking the suit to be altered, but he couldn't locate him. Oh, well! he was sure dad wouldn't mind, and besidesihe hadnlt wom it for at least a year. The fact was his father had reached the age where he preferred comfort to style, and he never wore the tuxedo if he could find an excuse to avoid it. The night of the dance arrived. Dan had a double date with a boy in the other end of town, and he decided it would be better to dress at his home, so he left a note for his father to the effect that he would not have dinner with him, and hurried away. Some time later Mr. Emerson arrived home. He grumbled to himself as he threw off his business suit. Darn these formal dinners, 724 THE CRIMSON he muttered. Why must a man torture himself in a starched shirt and high collar for several hours just to honor a bank president? For two cents I would stay at home. Still grumbling, he rummaged in the closet for the cedar bag containing his tuxedo, but he searched and searched in vain. Finally, with perspiration standing out on his brow, he exploded: Danged if that is'nt just like a woman to put a man's clothes where he can't find them, and then he set himself to looking over the clothes care- fully again, but with the same result. Well,'f he muttered, that's that, and reaching for the tele- phone, he called the chairman of the dinner committee and begged to be excused because of a sudden illness. Needless to say, Dan had a glorious time at the dance, and the suit pressed and restored to its former size was back in the cedar bag in the closet the next evening when his mother arrived home. When his father returned from the office and the first greetings were over, he casually inquired what had become of his tuxedo, and like all men he began to elaborate on how he missed an important dinner and what the committee must have thought of him, etc., etc. Why, my dear, said Dan's mother, I am sure it is hanging in your closet, because I examined it for moths only a few weeks ago. Well, said Dan's father, I would like to see you find lt. They both went up stairs to the bedroom. Dan tiptoed up the stairs to the landing to await results. Finally he heard his mother exclaim triumphantly, Well, here it is, your Majesty. I expect you will have to hire a valet next to find your clothes, but you are just like all the men,if something doesn't jump out and bite you, you say it isn't theref' Dan heard his father make a choking sound, and then try weak- ly to defend himself. Dan stood holding his sides as he shook with controlled laughter. He really felt sorry for his dad and he knew that he ought to do the courageous thing and rally to his aid, but on se- cond thought he decided it was the better part of valor to keep his explanation until peace had again settled over the household. THE CRIMSON 225 THE BOY WHO GREW UP WITH RADIO By Charles I. Boone, Mitre Club The great man pushed a button on his desk and asked his sec- retary to send in one of the office boys. A sturdy, bright-eyed, eager lad of sixteen, born in a little vil- lage in central Russia but living in New York since he was nine, en- tered with his cap in his hand. He had often seen the great man pass in and out of the Marconi offices, and he had worshipped him from afar, but this was the first time he had been alone with him . In a gentle voice the great man directed the boy to take a pack- age to his hotel. And then he asked him how long he had been work- ing for the Marconi company, and whether he was really interested in wireless-as radio was called a quarter of a century ago. 'Tm studying nights to learn how to be an operator, sir, the Russian- American boy answered. The boy did make it all right. Today he is the president of the Radio Corporation of America and head of half a dozen other sub- sidiary companies, and the great Marconi, whom he visits each year, is his intimate friend. The boy's name was David Sarnoff. To me his life reads like an exciting adventure-a study in action and character development that could come true only once in this fantastic age and in this country of ours. To me there seems to be a lot of fellows here at Manual who now think that they will never amount to anything, but if they will have the courage and confidence that this boy had, they may some day be leaders in science and industry. VACATION SUGGESTION By Sherman Hinkebein, Mitre Club This summer, if you are tired, bored, and thirsty for adventure. I suggest that you interest a couple of your pals in taking a canoe trip up the Kentucky River. Some of you will immediately say that the cost will exceed your financial resources, but the actual cost will astonish you. As the 226 THE CRIMSON benefits of this journey are two fold, the physical and educational, I think you will be fully repaid. The sun will give you a healthy coat of tan. Every muscle in the body will be brought into play and de- veloped in paddling and steering the canoe. There will be no hotel bills, nature provides free shelter at night if you are content to sleep on the soft, sandy beaches. When you arise, the cool surf beckons you to take an invigorating dip. Thus your day will be started with a ravenous appetite. On journeying to a nearby farmhouse, you will be agreeably sur- prised at what an economical cost food can be procured. Milk can be bought for ten or fifteen cents a gallon, while bacon and fresh vege- tables can be obtained for a song or a wink at the farmer's daughter. You could spend a fortune traveling in Europe or other foreign countries in search of beauty, which will not surpass the scenic wood- lands and lofty plateaus bordering this historic stream. A 'surprise and thrill awaits you at every bend. The calm and quiet of the jour- ney is broken only by the song of the birds or the chirp and call of the other woodland inhabitants. One of the unforgettable scenes is before you when you round an abrupt bend and come into view of the snow-white dome of the Kentucky Capitol Building. Symmetric driveways and smooth green lawns separate the Governor's Mansion, which is on the right, from the Capitol Building. At the close of each day, the marvelous sunset light, seeping through the trees covering the lofty hills, casts a spell of restfulness over one. The grandeur of these scenes forces us to bow our heads in reverence to the Supreme Maker in the realization that nature in the raw is the greatest beauty there is. iimii iaofaf 8A R. Dishion, VV.

CLUBS Clubs in high schools play a very important part in student life. Occasionally a club is started which has no definite mission to per- form. Such clubs, of necessity, die out in a short while because of the fact that there is no incentive to go on. At Manual we have several clubs which have a definite aim. and fill a definite need, each in its own sphere. For instance, the THE CRIMSON 229 Mitre Club has for its motto: f'Through the Mitre, for the School. This means that all our energies are bent on placing Manual in front in all activities. This club selects, by competition, cheer-leaders, and also awards cheer-leader emblems to the successful candidates. It also holds a declamatory contest, awarding medals to the first and se- cond successful contestants. It takes an active part in contributions to the community fund, aids in obtaining Meritl' pins for the band, and also aids in parent-teacher work. It gives two dances a year- one at Christmas and one in the spring, the Moonlight-and so adds to the social activities of the school. Student trips are conducted to football games out of town. These, and various other activities are sponsored by this club. To become a member of this club, a boy must be elected by the other members. He must be a good student, he must have a proper spirit for boosting his school, and his character must be first class. This gives the object and the activities of only one club, the Mitre. The other clubs have the same high purpose, some of them bending their energies along different lines, but all working for the good of the school. Dick Stahl . ,.,. KEEP CLIMBING For the past twenty years our school, Manual, has been climb- ing by leaps and bounds toward bigger and better fields, toward higher standards and ideals. We have now reached a point when, as Mr. Gresham Sackett said last fall, Male High fears us. Fellows, Manual is growing. We are no longer recognized as the underdogs. We are now placed on a par with Male by her own back- ers. Where do non-partial citizens place us? Why, at the top, of course. Manual students have always been recognized as a most or- derly group, but in the last few years, because more people recog- nized us, the fact has become more noticeable and commendable. We have been complimented on every hand for our conduct on the streets, cars, and in public buildings. Being so highly thought of on every hand, we have facing us the greatest task imaginable. That task is this: although we must keep on climbing in sports and scho- larship, we also must always remember that we have a reputation of the highest type to uphold. This is our reputation for self-control. g -G. E. z. .gi i p -I Schoo Q ,Ll, 230 THE CRIMSON Qiriiigfvo Notes Rigsby and Hellman have Burr Head hair cuts. It's about time for Mr. Hudkins to pull his annual spring joke about the saps rising. We certainly shall have a good football team next fall. 220 uni- forms were issued the first day, and 80 boys were turned away.

Mr. Roberts is still trying to draw Stabile into the business. jenkins' nose is a result of going out with some lads from Male. fit was an accidentj Morton, of the ,33 football squad, paid us a visit the other day. Alabama is a long way off, but hurry back. Mr. Tucker has his car out nowg so be careful where you walk, as you might sprain your ankle, on some loose parts. In last month's issue of the Crimson Koestel had h picture of Fane wearing his Christmas tieg It is a tie from Christmas before last that Fane is still wearing. If you see Mr. jones walking to school, you will know it was the result of having the basketball team out to his house for dinner. Haycraft has been trying to wear his spring suit for a month, and every time he does, it either rains or snows. Mr. Duncan said that he would rather be rich than be so good looking. McClure is working for a good grade in Mr. Marshall's room, as he is riding Mr. Marshall to school these cold mornings. Clf you can understand that crack, you are certainly a wise one! Perhaps White can explain the meaning of the language used. All other staff mem- bers are unable to do so.j Stalker is beginning to look more like Mr. Newton's rabbit each day. Shook gets what he goes after. tHe saw her at a play the other night.J THE CRIMSON 231 Spalding just canlt get to class on time, but he squares it up by getting a paper for the teacher. Mr. Duncan's class can't enjoy chapel programs because the speakers are always being coached during the first period. Forsythe, the freshman, got set down by a senior the other day in the gym. QWhat does got set down mean, White?j George Bailey's beard is giving his hair a good race. CYou can still get razor blades at the dime store for Ioc, George.j Kirk is taking steps in the wrong direction. He stepped into his lab drawer and broke a bunch of equipment. Rigsby has a habit of protecting little girls of 16 against big, bad, bogey men of 18. Keep it up, Gene, and some day you may be dean of a girls' school. It won't be long before Ticky gets out his boy scout shorts. The other night at a Mitre meeting we were discussing some pins for the band members when our former president, john Martin, asked if it was for an annual affair and Warren Morat said No, it's for the band. We don't know whether Shook is Woozy or not but he has been wearing his sweater backwards for two weeks. Somebody tell him how to put it on right. Marker says that he is going to give Buster Crabbe a race for the leading part in the new picture, the Alligator Man. The public speaking coach is going to have a contest with one of his history students to see who can hold a vowel longer. Be careful how you treat Bernie Walters these days, because he can't take it yet. If you want a life time job, try to get the names of the Mount- joy twins straight. Ask Jimmy German why the basketball squad calls him Rab- bit, tHe got the name in Lexingtonj Time: rrzoo A. M4 March zgrdg 1934. Place: room 7. Objects: Linker, broom, and house.

Track practice canlt start until Rigsby gets out to the stadium. iso he thinksj 232 THE CRIMSON ALUMNI Peculiar parallels just happen-and there is no accounting for their vagariesg the case in hand involving two Manual boys-Jos. D. Scholtz, 'o8g and Rees H. Dickson, '13, Joe and Rees were both athletes, each making the football teamg Joe was captain of the track team during his senior year, and was a member of the relay team. Rees was an outstanding basket- ball star, and also made the baseball team. joe's son, Ticky, was a regular guard on last year's Crimson teamg but the young hopeful of the Rees Dicksons has not yet attained football playing propor- tions. Reference to the records of the Alumni Association brings to light the fact that Rees was president of that body during the year 1929-30g and was succeeded by Joe, who was president for the year 1930-31. And during the year 1933 was find Rees functioning as the president of the Board of Park Commissioners of the City of Louis- illeg succeeded in 1934 by joe, who now holds the office as president of that body. They might have married sisters! Mr. Scholtz is an officer in the Jos. Denunzio Fruit Companyg and Mr. Dickson is president of two corporations-the Kentucky Public Elevator Company and the Kentucky Brewery. Jos. S. Dickson, 795 , i. . OUT OF THE PAST TO YOU To you, the editorial staff and executive officers of this most recent issue of the Crimson, we, the old guard, stand at salute. Time's March precludes a word from each one of the original group of nine who launched the first volume in the autumn of I899Q those of us who still can, call to you across the years from the side lines, Carry onf' Modestly but confidently, the Crimson makes its bow in the arena of journalism. Who penned this first sentence more than thirty-three years ago we do not knowg in all likelihood it was a composite one, forecasting traditions which are now your very own. Perhaps it required a bit . THE CRIMSON 233 of self ,restraint to say - modestly,U since the pages of these early numbers comprising the first volume, record many memorable events in Manual's early history, but confidently,'i came naturally and in good part, since we were growing stronger and expanding with every stride. The procession of events at that time included the or- ganization of the Rooterls Club, which secured and presented the first silk flag to the school, then came the founding of the Student's Representative Committee, striving to coordinate and make effective student interest and participation in all progressive movements for the school's betterment. An announcement that the post graduate course of the previous year would hereafter become a regular and required part of the Cur- riculum was hailed with much joy. Of course the students might have continued to do in three years with their long schedule, as had been done before, as much as was being done elsewhere in four years, but this change in which the Students' Representative Committee was much interested, opened an avenue that was to give an additional year in which to gain strength and insure a uniform basis for com- petition in the Arena. Then came the Mitre Club, which in its first year sponsored the lectures of Ernest Seton Thompson on Wild Life, and the Mitre Club has never ceased to do splendid things for the schoolls advance- ment since that first successful venture. Another departure came with the announcement that a gasoline launch was to be built. This project work was divided among thelseveral classes-including drawing rooms-pattern, woodworking, forge, foundry and machine shops. The plan and program were splendid in that they included parts for the whole school. After the work was successfully completed, the duPont, as the launch was christened after the best manner, was used on the Ohio for many years. In fact the executive branch of the Crimson commandeererl the duPont for launch parties on the Ohio for the purpose of defray- ing deficits which resulted because of too few ads, There were only six ads in the first issue and eighteen ads in the concluding num- ber of the first volume. fHistory repeats itselfb Athletics during that year reached a high pitch. Our first base- ball team halved two games with our old rivals-the track team en- tered the first inter-state track and field meet with teams from Indi- ana and Tennessee and came out with Will Hunter in first place five times fthere were iron men in those days tool. Of course the 234 THE CRIMSON crowning pages were those which carried accounts of the glorious foot-ball victories of that day. Indianapolis Manual was played to a scoreless tieg K. M. I. was taken into camp twiceg Hanover College was beaten by a comfortable marging Bethel College was whipped decisively and Male High was licked twice in the same place Cthree cheers for jack Rogers and the whole teamj, giving us our first State Championship. The gratifying result of it all is the fact that many of the youngsters who were so full of energy then are quite as ready to do things today. As we bowed then, we bow again today-modestly, yet with pride in what you are doing for Manual now. Dr. john C. Rogers Geo. B. Frazee Surviving members of the first Warren C. Macfarlane Crimson Staff Lewis Gorin Hunt. Isert Editor's note: This message from the surviving members of the first Crimson Staff was written by Mr. J. G. Hunt Isert, Assistant Editor of the first Crimson-Member of class of 1899 and father of Wilson Isert, past President of the Mitre Club. MANUAL STADIUM How many of the students at Manual know that the present Manual Athletic Field is the seventh where our annual Thanksgiving game with our friends at Brook and Breck was played? Many years ago before any of you were on this earth-and when a number of your fathers were cavorting around at Brook and Oak streets-the annual affair was played at the old ball park at 28th Street and Broadway and r5c was the admission charged for the first row-if you were lucky enough to crowd in, or came without eating your share of the turkey. No seats-nothing but standing room was pro- vided. At the earlier games 5oo people were considered a crowd. Compare this with our present attendance of 1 5,ooo to 18,ooo. Next came the Male High School lot-but that was before the present building was erected, and the field ran east and west. The property was still privately owned. Following that, for the first time Manual had its own field, on the west side of Brook street at Magnolia told distillery propertyj. Here's where our good friend Athletic Director THE CRIMSON 235 Beutel and his brother, Harold, as ends on the football team, brought fame to Manual. The second Manual field was at 8th and Magazine streets, now the home of the Central Colored High School. After the new Male High School was built and the present field and stand at Brook and Breck erected, Manual gave up the field at Sth and Mag- azine and at first used High School field-later, however, it began alternating between the H. S. field and Eclipse Ball park at 7th and Kentucky streets. All this time, however, Manual Alumni were build- ing castles in the air and planning a sure enough athletic field for Manual, where our boys could practice and all forms of sport be held without going to the public parksf' The Parent-Teacher Association at Manual was also aroused and it was through the efforts of that body that part of the present field, then a typical farmer's cornfield, containing about 55 acres was acquired. About a year after the ground was purchased, Manual students, faculty, alumni and friends, including the Mayor of Louisville, assembled one Saturday morning to build a fence around the field in one day, and it was a tired and weary, but proud and happy crowd of Manual men who walked out of the enclosure-their job completed-when sundown came. The next problem was where to get the funds to provide adequate seats. In the fall of 192 3 the president of the Alumni, Mr. J. G. Hunt lsert, called a group of people together representing besides the Alumni , the faculty, students, Parent-Teacher Association and the Board of Edu- cation, and at that meeting plans were laid for a drive for funds to start building a stadium for Manual, which it was hoped would equal any high school stadium in this part of the country. The goal set was S6o,ooo, but when the drive, supported by almost everybody in the city, was over, 373,000 had been pledged. A point of interest to the present students, I believe, is the amount subscribed by the then students at Manual themselves. 254,- 726 was subscribed and was made up almost wholly of pledges of 37.00 each-Manual that year had licked Male by the score of 7 to 6. A permanent stadium committee with representatives from the Alumni, Parent-Teacher Association and the Citizens Committee was then appointed, plans drawn, bids taken, and contracts let, work started, field graded and everything rushed so the Thanksgiving game could bc played in Manualls own stadium. The stands contracted for were the two parallel stands on either side of the field. Work was completed and a bright sunny day brought an overflowing crowd to the first Thanksgiving Day game played in the stadium. Later the stand along the west end of the horse shoe 236 THE CRIMSON was built, a new club-house erected, other improvements added, and in February, 1928, the practice field, containing 15 acres, to the south of the stands purchased. The field now embraces over 7 acres of land. The original Stadium Committee is still functioning and through its efforts last summer a number of improvements were made to the plant. The committee plans purchase of additional lands and other additions and improvements to the field and stands which, when com- pleted, will make Manual stadium second to no other high school athletic field in the country.

THE CRIMSON 237 I' Ill In..-liilllunnll Ilnnulllliilmm Our initiation will be held Friday evening, March twenty-third. The members are polishing up their equipment and promise the candidates a most interesting evening. This event, always important, is even more so this term. The club will lose most of its members and all except one of its officers by graduation. Twenty fellows, all out- standing in scholastic activities, have been invited. From this group we will undoubtedly get some good members. Our party at Jacobs lodge in Iroquois Park was successful be- yond our expectation. It was attended by many of the members, their dates, several graduated members, and several outsiders. Mis- sieurs Carrell and McKee provided an entertaining program, with Mr. Carrell acting as master-of-ceremonies. Our first initiation is coming rather late in the term, but we ex- pect to have another. The Social Committee also promise us one or two more social affairs. Things to remember: The Scholarship club medal to be presented, in June, to the student with the highest grades for the year. The book prize, a volume of O. Henry, to be presented to the author of the best story in the Crimson this term. J. A. Whitehouse Corresponding Secretary 238 THE CRIMSON DELTA CHAPTER OF THE MANUAL HI-Y APRIL! SPRING IS HERE! Spring means three main athletic events: indoor baseball, an in- door track meet, and a swimming meet. Of course the Delta Chapter wants to win all three of these, but it is impossible, unless the mem- bers attend all of the meetings regularly. just in case an old member, who has not attended a meeting for a long time, has forgotten the time and place, I shall give them here. The place is the Y. M. C. A. and the time is 5:45 every Monday evening. We have the use of the gym from 7:oo until 8:00 and then the use of the pool. Come down! There is fun for everyone. Several new members have been taken in. Among these areg R. Shellhamer, L. Schueler, T. J. Callahan, D. Hickerson, and J. Weber. Come, we need your support! Charles B. Moody, Secretary MANUAL RIFLE TEAM 1...-.T The recently organized rifle team was defeated in a close, Io- shot, prone match with Male, the score being 488-480. The following scores were made for Male: Craddock, 99, Chapman, 983 Scroggan, 97, Petrilli, 97, Wilson, 97, Tepe, 96, Shilling, 9 5,-for Manual: Hellman, QQ, Bixler, 98, Park, 9 5, Gossman, 9 55 House, 9 5g Wilkin- son, gog jumpp, 87. Only the five highest scores count when seven- men teams compete. , A return match-xo shots prone and 5 offhand-is planned for April 14, at the jefferson County Armory. Garth House has been elected captain of the Manual team. THE CRIMSON 239 ATHLETICS BASKETBALL REGIONAL TOURNAMENT Manual, 26: Elizabethtown, 8 Manual was expected to be surprised by the E'town cagers, but that rumor proved to be false. After a little play it was evident that Manual would go to the semi-finals. We kept the E'town boys guard- ed well and they were forced to make bad passes and long shots. Manual, 31: Croppers, II This was an easy game too. We took Croppers by a wide margin of 31 to II. This victory was predicted by everyone after our splen- did showing in the E'town game. During all of these easy games played at the K. of C. gym our boys began to feel at home on that floor. They had just gotten the feel of the floor when the Male game was at hand. Manual, 21: Male, I4 This was the greatest achievement of the season. Male had won herself a place in the finals just as we had. This was a battle of blood. Whichever team won this game went to Lexington to compete in the state finals. Swearinger, Male's star, was kept well guarded. Monen went out on fouls in the last quarter. Boots Young was knocked out for a short time in the last quarter, but he finished the game. QYoung, having played such a hard game was, I think, glad to get that little restj. When the gun went off, we were ahead by the score of 21 to 14. By winning this game we won the regional tournament. STATE TOURNAMENT Horse Cave, 33: Manual, I5 Although we lost to Horse Cave in the first round, we should be proud of each member of the team. They fought hard, from the be- ginning to the end of the encounter. We had the height on these boys, therefore, we could keep the ball, but when Hinkebein went out on 240 THE CRIMSON what was said to be four fouls, we lost an important cog in our Man- ual cage machine. The score was around tie at the half but they passed us and forged ahead until at the end of the game the score read: Horse Cave, 33 - Manual, 15. TRACK Track has been going on for about two weeks. The first day seventy reported for track and that number has fallen off very little. Every member of the basketball squad is out. Manual will have an exceptionally good team this year, for early in last term Manual's track team won the State Fair track meet by competing with Male and U. of L. Freshmen. The score was, Manual, 29, Male, QQ U. of L. Frosh, 3. SPRING FOOTBALL ,Spring football, after a long delay, started in the latter part of March. A mob of two hundred and eighty reported to Mr. Kirwan for uniforms. A lot of fellows had to be turned away when the suits were all given out. BASEBALL At this writing a date has not been set for baseball practice. We have several good candidates to replace the few boys lost from that great baseball team of '3 3. IF I WERE KING Rome wasnlt built in a year, but Bill Morsey, captain-elect of basketball, was land cod liver oil helped to build himj. A little over a year ago Bill played on Doc Isaac's scrub basketball team, known as the 2110 squad. He wasn't even good enough for the Jay- vees. But later he won himself ,a place on the Junior Varsity and starred with his friend, Mcllhenny, the rest of the season. This year Morsey went up to the first string squad. Now, as the season is over, he has been chosen as captain of next year's team. From the 2:10 squad to captain of the first team in a year! More power to you, Kid Morsey.
