THE BOOSTER SENIOR MINSTREL SHOW Between reels of the new moving picture machine, on Thursday of Senior Week, the senior boys en- deavored to produce a good impres- sion on the audience. And they cer- tainly did from the start. They ap- peared mysteriously from the prop- erty room beneath the stage, from various windows of the auditorium, and when these places were used up, appeared to sprout from the floor. Edward Mitsch acted as interlocutor for his company, who peered over big white collars, artistically decorated socks, and above immense white gloves. If 1 { ) g i ' - The little slams that were gotten off on the faculty and pupils were of high class stuff, also the little parody en- titled Montani ' s M. T. Band. But the biggest hit of the evening was featured in the impersonation of Frank Tinney, that well-known com- edian. After the minstrel men had performed to the utmost, Maurice Thornton and Harold Trussler gave as an encore some of the new dances, varied with original productions. Then the men of color disap- peared in the same mysterious man- ner in which they had presented them- selves to the audience. Nina C. Bingham. I wonder why you boys all like Your chemistry so well In spite of all this dirt and dust And then that awful smell? To meet the girls here in the lab, So many and so fine; See, over there ' s old Anti Dote, And here is Ani Line. Sili Kate with Chlo Roform ' s Right next to Cara Mel; Over the flame is An Hydrous So close to Bell Metal. And Bessie Mir and Polly Mers, The cause of many a fall; But the biggest flirt of all the group Is Ethyl Alcohol. — John Trost.

The editors wish to express their thanks to all the loy- al friends of the paper who have helped to make it a success this year. Next term the Booster will have an added feature. If the present plans become a reality, and if enough subscriptions are forthcoming, the Booster will contain photographs of prominent pupils, school activities, etc., throughout the whole year. This will be a great step in advance; but in order to do this it means that every student in Manual will have to support the paper. Just think how- much more interesting the paper would be if run upon such a princi- ple. Think how much more pleased you would be if, instead of merely reading an account of the track meet or of any other school event, you could see the exact picture as viewed by the camera ' s eye. Just think this over, Mr. Subscriber, and then when you come back next term, be the first one to hand in your subscrip- tion to the Booster. — Robert Barnhill. Ivy Day. Ivy day is a day that should be kept in the memory of every senior. Tho, here and there, there were a few flaws in the exercises of the last Ivy Day, yet as a whole the day was w T ell enough celebrated so that it should stick in the memory of its partici- pants. The details may be forgotten, but the general impression and the feelings, both glad and sad, that I re- ceived and, in fact, that all seniors re- ceived will remain fixed in my mind forever. Each word in the songs we sang aroused some emotion within me, and doubtless, v ithin my fellow students, for in reality what ' s true for me is also true for them. Mr. Colli- cot ' s speech moved me deeply; I simply absorbed his words. I couldn ' t think; I only felt. And so, if I may judge by myself, my fellow seniors did. Thoughts may be forgotten. This occasion w T ill cling to the mem- ory of every senior as the ivy clings to the wall. — Abe Zimmerman. A Tribute. Miss Lo la I. Perkins, the coach of the last two senior class plays, de- serves much praise for her worthy contributions to the activities of the school. Although the most recent ad- dition to our English department, she has undoubtedly made a niche for herself which no one else can fill. Miss Perkins came to Manual from the Stadium High School at Tacoma, Wash., and immediately recognized the need of a course in elocution, with the result that in February a class in Expression was formed under her instruction. From this class sev- eral members of the cast of the June play were chosen. In addition to coaching the casts of the senior plays, Miss Perkins has contributed much to the school by her entertaining readings at several times during the year. Miss Perkins has indeed endeared herself in the hearts of the Manual- ites. — deV.

10 THE BOOSTER ATHLETIC REVIEW Manual has enjoyed a very success- ful athletic career during the past school year. Every department of sports the school has offered has been enthusiastically supported by the stu- dents and the faculty. With the ad- -ent of the newly organized Manual Training High School Athletic Asso- ciation the success of the school ' s athletics has attained even a more tangible aspect. The work of the as- sociation this year has been, however, merely preliminary to the many tasks ihat face it. The real value of the or- ganization to the students, the faculty and the school as a whole, will be manifest in times to come. Although this year ' s athletic season has been entirely successful as compared with the records of the past, that of next year and of those to follow should, and without a doubt, will, eclipse the present standards of success. Each season should improve upon the pre- ceding one. With the help of the fac- ulty managers and the student play- ers, let us all aid in gaining for Man- ual indisputable prestige in athletics. Bowling. The liveliest bowling season that Manual has ever had was held during the past school year. Much credit must be given to Mr. Schissel and Mr. Davis, of the faculty, for the success of the league. Eight teams were or- ganized, namely, the Mohawks, Mohi- cans, Apaches, Comanches, Navajos and Sioux, and the first series was rolled off on October 30 at the Y. M. C. A. alleys. Later in the season, when basketball began to attract many of the maple-smashers, the managers decided to cut the league down to four fast teams, the mem- bers of the Apaches and Sioux being evenly distributed to the other four teams. At the same time a change of alleys was made, the Democratic Club alleys being selected to finish the sea- son on. Many high scores were rolled on these alleys, including the high score of the season, 225, made by Shrimp Bryant. When it came to smashing off strikes, Bryant sure was Bryant, The Wrecker. Bud Schaaf ' s Mohawks captured the pen- nant by steady bowling; his five hus- kies were headed only twice during the entire season. The season lasted for over three months, the last series being staged February 4. On this date, Schaaf ' s Mohawks cleaned up three straight games from Kuhn ' s Mohicans and easily copped the pen- nant. The teams finished in the fol- lowing order: Mohawks, Schaaf, Capt.; Navajos, Streeter, Capt; Mo- hicans, Kuhn, Capt.; Comanches, Kirkhoff, Capt. The league was a success in every respect, and bowling will no doubt hereafter be a permanent branch of Manual athletics. — Wilbur Schwier. State Basketball Meet. In the second State Basketball Tournament in which Manual has par- ticipated, our team finished well up near the front and one of our men re- ceived honorable mention on the All- State team. The seniors on the team were Renner, Fatout and Hall, and they ably upheld the reputation of the class in every way. In the first game, with Orleans, Willie Renner was the individual point getter for the Manual team, scoring 13 points. Capt. Behrent as floor guard did almost as well and displayed the class which after- wards got him honorable mention. This game was easily won, 31 to 17, and the Manual lads never played a better game in their lives. The second fray was more of a walkaway than the score implies. New Bethel went down in an 18 to 9 defeat. The feature of the game was the accurate shooting of Bartholo- mew and the clever floor work of Renner and Behrent. The Manual five had by this time struck their stride and were playing like a machine but nevertheless their third game was their Waterloo. This game might have been an easy victory with any other team than lucky Anderson. The final score was 18 to 12 in favor of Anderson but it
