THE BOOSTER The Class Play. Best play ever, was the opinion of those who saw Marguerite Mering- ton ' s dramatization of Snow White, presented by the January 1916 class, December 9 and 10. The Queen, Emma Leiss, with her changeable moods, played her part excellently. Eulan Tolin made an ideal Snow White. Her beauty and loving disposition won her not only the wrath of the Queen, her step- mother, but the love of the great Prince of Goldland, Charles Rohr- man. He was an ardent lover of Snow White from the time he saw her first when he came to the court as a pilgrim. In Russell Mathias, the Prince had a sleepy, lazy and devoted old tutor. A dignified, wise old man was the Lord Chancellor, Walker Bray. A lady of equal dignity and pride was Constance Gaynor as the Countess. Charles Lay, as Berthold, acted well the part of hunstman, when, saying whick whack, snicker snack, he whetted his knife on his boot top. The pages, Louise Stewart, Nina Dill- man, Lena Wickers, Grace Shock, Dorothy Kneale and Emily Rosner made nice little boys with their bobbed hair and white and red page suits. The Knights, Robert Hatfield and Joseph Barkham, were able cham- pions of the Queen. A pleasing ap- pearance was made by the Lords, Ernest Brunoehler, Milburn Fields, Ferdinand Stratton and Ralph Smith, and the ladies, Ruth Stinson, Ger- trude Lieske, Pearl Neal, Hazel Fos- ter, Marie Monter, Alma Kottlowski and Daisy White, in their gorgeous court costumes. The soldiers of the Prince, Fred Asperger, Paul Miller, William Ebaugh and Vernon Scott, and the Heralds, Harold Brady and Euengc Hopper, performed their duties very well. Norma Thorns took the part of the Voice of the Queen ' s magic mirror. Much of the wonder- ful effect of the mirror was due to her excellent, clear, sweet voice. Under the leadership of Blick, Icis Evans, the dwarfs, Pick, Adeline Fishman; Knick, Hilda Kohl; Strick, Dorothy Meek; Rick, Lucille Wake- land; Dick, Grace Shock; and Shick, Nina Dillman, were above criticism. Shick, the youngest, was a sympa- Caution ! Sh-h-h-h! Careful! Any one caught laughing or causing any undue dis- turbance while reading this Booster will be dealt with severely. The Booster editors arc on the page pre- ceding this. They arc tired. They need quiet and rest. Sh-h-h. thetic, lovable little fellow. They de- serve much praise for acting so natur- ally such difficult parts in the sorrow- ful scenes. The Manual Orchestra and the busi- ness staff of the play added much to its success. The stage managers were Paul Miller and Vernon Scott, and their assistants were Paul Swaisgood, Milburn Fields, Fred Asperger, Ray- mond Doud, Ralph Smith, Samuel McCann, Russell Etter and Frank Manker. The property committee was composed of Ferdinand Stratton, (chairman), Barbara Smith and Lil- lian Jones. The costume committee was composed of Esther Heuss (chairman), Julia Weghorst. Gladys Murphy, Irene Blythe, Ursula Hirsch- man, Edna Claffey, Frieda Wingen- roth, Helen Trost, Lillian Nacken- horst and Esther Fisher. The busi- ness manager was Otto Schoellkopf.

THE BOOSTER Our Athletics. (By Merle J. Abbett.) During- the last four months about one hundred fifty boys have been tak- ing part in basket ball and the only regrettable fact of this, is that there were no more taking part. In summing up the things accom- plished that are really worth while in the sport, we find a number of com- mendable facts. It has not been so much a matter of which team won that was of utmost importance to us. but the fact that the above mentioned boys were benefited directly by the practice. They are stronger in body, quicker in thinking and acting, and have a greater capacity for team work, and a better knowledge of the same. All boys who have engaged in the sport have attained the average re- quired by the school to engage in ath- letics. They have shown that they are in- terested in the athletics of the school, that they are trying to do something for their school as well as themselves. They have not had anything held up to them, of a material nature, to serve as an incentive to their play. Their activit} has been one with no selfish interest and it has resulted in very great benefit to the boys themselves, and they have in a large measure got- ten out of their play what they have put into it. They have aided very materially in contributing an added interest in the school by making the sport amusing and pleasing to other members of the school. They have aided very largely in furnishing members who will make up the squad that will represent the school in the sectional tournament in March. They have been manly in their be- havior, interested in their endeavor, active in their play, strict in their training, wholesome in their spirit, and loyal to their fellows and school. May the boys who have engaged this year have more prosperous years, with more enjoyment, more profit to reflect upon and reap a harvest from after they leave school. Basketball Manual has had a very successful basketball season this year. The principal reason for this is the coming of Mr. Abbett. He has gotten the whole school interested in the game. Almost all the boys who have partici- pated in basketball this year say that they have received a square deal. Our prospects for a state team are very bright. The team will be ex- perienced, as nearly all of the mem- bers of it were on the state squad last year. However, with plenty of prac- tice, the new men will be in just as good condition as the old members. The substitutes have not yet been de- cided upon, but there are several men who are able to take care of those po- sitions. This year ' s team appears to be much faster than that of last year, and as last year ' s team won the sec- tional tournament, a repetition of this should occur again. Prospects arc that our men may go even farther. — Robert A. Conner. Girl ' s Athletics The athletic spirit was renewed with unusual vigor this year, espe- cially in the girls ' tennis and basket- ball tournaments. The spirit of play, as expressed by Mr. Abbett, has been more prominent this year than ever before. The number of participants has greatly increased, due partly to the well organized athletic associa- ciation which includes both girls and boys, and partly to the efforts of the girls themselves to make this a suc- cessful athletic year. Norma Thorns won the fall and spring tennis tournaments and we, as January ' 16 seniors, are very proud of our double champion. There are several prominent Janu- ary seniors in the basketball tourna- ment this year, among whom are Ruth Lieber, captain of the green
