THE BOOSTER FAREWELL PAGE BY BOB BARNHILL We can hardly realize that this is the last time we will ever sling ink for this paper. Looking back on the three or four years that we have knocked and slammed our friends through these columns, we feel that we have a great deal to be thankful for — that is that we have survived this long. And so with due thankfulness in our hearts for the blessing, we are going to write a few last words in memory of those who have suffered at our pen. Irwin Henderson plays with the Giants. Irwin Henderson pitches for them. Irwin Henderson struck out three men in succession. Irwin Hen- derson pitched a no-hit game. Irwin Henderson is a good player. Now, Mr. Henderson, never again accuse us of not giving you plenty of publicity. Johnnie Masters and Frankie Harris were observed to stand in front of a jewelry store for fifteen minutes the other day. What ' s the name of that old poem that starts out In the spring a young man ' s fancy turns to — ? Manual, like her North Side rival, has a Sleepy Eye Club. If you don ' t believe it take a look at the members of Miss Andrus ' s after dinner physi- ography class. Some good hearted fellow ought to take Heine Moesch off to one side and explain frankly and freely the follies of getting the human head shaved. Some things are silent by nature, and others speak for themselves like that orange colored shirt of Jerome Trotcky ' s. According to an official report by the school detective, on May 19 at 2:14 p. m., Ethel Parker was seen to walk the entire length of the hall without being accompanied by Calvin Gerlach. Among other things the spring rains have had a good effect upon Helen Baron ' s class book. It has grown so large in the last month that Helen has been inquiring about a good anti-fat remedy. Clay Gullion, who plays with the Pirates, made a home run about 2 A. M. the other morning. He made the run all right but it didn ' t count because as he stole home his father was waiting for him and tagged him out. Flavia Lee says that she just can ' t keep track of all of her dates in Indiana history. We certainly are sorry to part with all of the girls who have kept us sup- plied with candy during the lunch period, aye, Gass? The saddest words Of tongue or pen Are these, McNulty ' s Canned again. During the ivy day exercises we thought that President Manker was reaching for his gun when he pulled that trowel out of his pocket. Our idea of nuthin tu do is to spend a few minutes with Ralph Itten- bach. Hurrying down Into the town There went one day Charlie Lay. And by a truck He soon was struck So ' long the way Charlie Lay. Well, readers, the bottom of this page draws near. We blot our manu- script, close the lid of our desk, roll down our sleeves, put on our coat, and with a last backward look at the editorial office, pass out of these col- umns forever.

The Shake- speare celebration, the changing of the name of the school to the Charles E. Emmerich Manual Training High School, and the great boom in ath- letics, any one or all would serve to distinguish this year from others in the annals of the school. So the task of the Booster has not Miss Knox been a snap this term. We have endeavored to cover all of these events with a small staff and improve the paper at the same time. It has not been easy, and we believe that we have not entirely failed. True, we have been severely criticised at times, but why notice that criticism, since it was destructive, not constructive ? In fact, we rather glory in this cen- sureship — it shows that Manual is tak- ing a slight interest in its paper. Next year it is the intention of the Booster editors and staff to make the paper more original, snappy and modern. During the latter part of this semester and in this issue we have worked toward this end. We have introduced some novelties of make-up. The paper contains fewer formal articles — more nut stuff. We hope the product of our pens will be pleasing. — The Editors and Staff. After one last look at Manual we conclude that she ought to have a cradle roll as well as an honor roll.

THAT ' S WHAT I ' D DO. If I were a Senior I ' d join the class play, And practice my speeches The whole livelong day. I ' d write up the hist ' ry And prophecy new; I ' d be the class poet And president, too. I ' d make all the teachers Stand ' round at my word, And be the authority, Everywhere heard. I ' d make Chelsea Stewart Paint up my eyebrows; I ' d be the May King, Or I ' d start up some rows. I ' d rule all the ladies, And be a knight true. If I were a Senior, That ' s what I would do. And still R. Secrist can ' t under- stand why that butcher in the Frank- lin butcher shop stared at him so hard when he asked for a pound of track meat.
