14 THE BOOSTER K« Club (Continued from Page 13) the club must unanimously vote him worthy of membership before he may become a member. The Roines Club shall be officially independent of those of other years. Each club, how- ever, shall in June vote on a few new hoys who may establish the Roines Club for the next year. It is the aim of the Roines Club that it shall be an organization which shall go on existing 3 r ear after year, just as the school itself does; that membership in this ciub shall be an honor which every student shall deem worthy of striving for. — B. D. J.; H. M. T. The Turn of the Road. Manual should certainly be proud of the dramatic ability which was dis- played in the June ' 14 class play. The play was one of the very best given by the graduating classes. Everyone who took part certainly did excellent acting. Margaret McRoberts as Mrs. Granahan, snapped and stormed around as any woman of her partic- ular nature would, while Frank Henry as Mr. Granahan played the part of the henpecked husband remarkabl} well. Chester Davis who reclined in an arm-chair most of the time, played the part of the grandfather to perfection. Carl Lyman took the part of Robbie John, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Granahan. The two other feminine roles were taken bv H i t ; e Librowitz as Ellen, and by Nina Brig- ham as Jane. Both showed remarka- ble ability in their parts. The others who took part played squally well. However, all the praise should not be given to the actors and actresses for had it not been for other persons who helped, the play would not have been such a success. The class is indebted to Miss Izor, Miss Rawls and Miss Brown of the cos- tume department for designing the costumes. The stage manager, Earl Caldwell and his assistants, Stanley Petri and Murray Barnell supplied the scenery. The property committee was composed of John Collins and Alvin Jose. The players themselves true he praise to the patient efforts of Miss Perkins, who coached the play. Tennis. The fall 1913 tennis tournament was the most successful of any ever held. There were 29 entrants in the singles and fourteen teams in the doubles. The playing throughout the tourna- ment was first-class, many new en- trants proving to be dark horses. The most prominent of these was Bastian,. our new half-miler, who played up to the semi-finals only to be defeated by the redoubtable Kegley in a fast but one-sided match. Bastian is a sopho- more and should show good fight in the spring tournament. Honors in the singles were carried away by Elmer Iverson, June ' 14. This part of the play brought out some very good playing. In the first round, the match between Thornton and Iverson was very exciting. In the deciding set, Thornton had set- point on his opponent, but after some hard fighting, Iverson won the set and match. Richardson did not show up to expectations going down in de- feat 6 — 1, 6 — 2, to Iverson. Kegley on the other half of the tournament practically showed himself in a class all alone. From his playing, he was doped to win the tournament. His only real rival before the finals was Bastian, and even this star had no chance. The finals, between Kegley and Iverson showed some of the best playing ever done by high school players. The first two sets went to Kegley, and he had the third one, all but the winning point. When he had Iverson 5 — 3 and 40 — 15 on the decid- ing game, the match seemed finished. On a very fast and close play the score was made 40 — 30. The set went to 5 all and Iverson won it 8 — 6 and the two following sets 6 — 4, 9 — 7. This was probably the hardest match ever played in a M. T. H. S. tennis tourna- ment. As was expected, Iverson and Keg- ley won the doubles. There were a number of teams entered. Kermon and Kepler gave good fight to the winners, running the match to the full three sets, and in the finals, Woods and Richardson, by some wonderful playing, managed to run the five-set match only to lose out in the final set. Kegley and Iverson were very stingy about the prizes, Kegley tak- ing a medal, for runner-up in singles,

Woods and Richardson each received a large Manual pennant as runners-up in ' dou- bles. It is .hoped that the spring tournament has brought out as many good players and last but not least, good prizes, as the fall 1913 tourna- ment. — Elmer Iverson.

You wouldn ' t know the old face now, There has been a change, you will allow, There is something missing, his face seems cleared. Oh! I know the reason, the upper lip ' s been sheared. Is it because the weather was hot? Is it because we bawled you out? But don ' t worry, Ralph, my son, There ' s always more where they came from. — Vernon Kniptash.
