20 THE BOOSTER TWO WAYS TO LEAVE SCHOOL Shortridge by a large score, predicted that Manual would lose to the fast Southport five. The dope bucket was given a severe jolt when Manual tri- umphed in an uninteresting game. Still the dopesters couldn ' t see the Manual five for the championship, as Markely, of Shelbyville, was consid- ered to be unbeatable. Everybody, including the loyal Manual rooters, received a splendid surprise when Bob Whipkus, with the aid of the team, defeated Shelbyville by an over- whelming score. Every time Bob shot for a field goal — presto — two points. He tossed baskets from any position on the floor with miraculous regu- larity. When the team left for Blooming- ton, accompanied by a small band of rooters, everybody knew that the team would make a good showing. After the victory over East Chicago, the Manual hopes went higher and higher as the team had drawn a bye into the semi-finals. Although Manual was de- feated by the Thorntown five, it was a well-known fact that the Red and White was the only team to outplay Thorntown in any part of a game. Manual outplayed Thorntown the first half, but repeated fouling lost the game. While the Manual five had many handicaps during the year, it finally gained the distinction of being the third best team in the state of In- diana. So ended one of the most successful basketball seasons this school has ever known. The Shadow of Thyself. When I strolled along the towpath, As the sun was sinking low, I wondered what might be hidden In the murky depths below. Might it be the bones of an eagle? Or the shell of a human form? Or the lurking mass of a hideous fish? Or an evil being firm? I start. I shake. I tremble. My nerves are set ajar. For what has this mystic figure Taken up his abode down there? Here comes a stranger now. I will ask his opinion upon The meaning of this horrid thing Asleep in the slumbering pond. The old man stops and listens To my piteous wail of fear, And turneth now his searching gaze Into the water there. Friend, what is this that ails thee? I think thou art asleep. The hideous monster you see below Doth to your own lines keep. So thus it is, too often, that Tn the murky streams we see, ' Tis only our own reflections From which we are wont to flee. — Julian Witham. Miss Iske: Frederick, give the principal parts of occids.

THE BOOSTER 19 ceived. Because of the opportunities they have had, the girls who continue the work of the organization should be better fitted for their work than those who are now Masomas. Athletic Stars Graduate While Manual in former years has lost some graduates by graduation, it seems that this year she will lose al- most all of her star athletes this com- mencement time. Of course, when the old stars leave school, younger ones will fill their shoes, and they in turn will be succeeded by new stars. Next year Manual will have a basketball five, a baseball league, an interclass meet, a tennis tournament, and a state track team, but much new material must turn out to form strong teams that will class with the best in the state. The graduation of such all- round athletes as Edgar Moyer, George Cornelius, Robert Whipkus, Robert Bastian, William Thompson, William Kegley, Roy Finley, Charles Trefz, and others too numerous to mention, will necessitate the develop- ment of new stars in all branches of athletics. Of course, some of these vacancies can be filled by such under- graduate stars as Herb Behrent, Harold Bartholomew, Russell Lam- kin, Ernie Richman, Stanley Le Feber, Buddy Gass, and Fred Bas- tian, but mpnv new stars must be de- veloped. Although never before has Manual lost so many athletes by graduation, still, with the co-operation of the student body, the year of 1916 should bring new laurels to Manual Training High School — our Alma Mater. — H. O. Basketball Season 1914-15. By Horton Oliver. At the start of the basketball sea- son last term, prospects for a cham- pionship five looked none too good, but as the season progressed and the playing; grew faster, the Manual fans grew more optimistic. Herbert Bar- tholomew, a prominent member of the June class, was elected captain of the team, and this proved a wise selection, as no player on the team played harder to win than Kerb did. He kept the players full of fighting spirit and confidence that only Thorntown, the best team in the state, could shake. Herb played for the good of the team and he did not seek any personal glory out of any game played. An- other reason Manual turned out such a fast team, was the work of Bob Whipkus at the center position. For the last few years, Manual fives have been weak at the pivot position, but Whipkus more than filled up the hole. It may be said without exception that Whipkus is one of the best centers ever graduated from Training School. It is a great thing for a student to en- ter a school the size of Manual, in his Senior year, and make such a show- ing, not only in athletics, but in a scholastic way. Bob has made lots of friends, and they will always re- member him by his sterling basket- shooting in the game with Shelbyville at Franklin, which made Manual Training champions of her district, and gave her the right to contest in the finals of the state tournament at Bloomington. Although the other three players on the team, Stanley La Feber, Ernest Richman, and Herbert Behrent, were underclassmen, they all played the best ball of their careers. La Feber, especially, played one of the grittiest p ' ames anyone could expect to witness. Just before the Shelbyville game, Coach Schissel applied a beefsteak to La Feber ' s eye to take out some of the swelling:. With one eye closed and the other black and blue, Stanley broke up play after play, which com- pletely demoralized the team-work of the Shelbyville five. Richman used all his speed to an advantage of working the ball up the floor. Besides helping La Feber on the defensive play, Ernie scored a number of points. Dutch Behrent was instrumental in landing the district championship by his accurate eoal shooting, but a charley horse handicapped him in the finals. When the team left for Franklin, the most enthusiastic fans hardly pre- dicted they would win the champion- ship. After the first victory, their chances seemed brighter, but the close shave in the New Bethel game sent their chances down. The majority of dopesters who saw Southport defeat
