THE BOOSTER ObtMt Manual Loses Although Manual was defeated at the Y. last Saturday, it was only after a game scrap, in which Jefferson was taxed to the utmost. Manual played a wonderful game, and it was only the amazing accuracy and lucky shooting of our opponents that won the game for them in the last few minutes of play. In the first half the score see-sawed back and fort h, one moment favoring us and the next our worthy quintet from Lafayette. The half ended with Manual four points in the lead, due to a successful bombardment of the bas- ket by Harmeson and Buschell. The second half was a repetition of the first, ending with Jefferson, the runner-up in last year ' s state meet, on the long end of a 31-21 score. In a curtain-raiser Manual Seconds defeated Shortridge Seconds by a score of 11 to 10 count. Summary and Score. Jefferson — 31 Manual — 21 Nuff ner Forward Strain C. Crowe Forward. . .

If there should be another flood, For refuge hither fly; ' Tho all the world be submerged, He took her to a theatre, ' Tis said, a picture show; Most all the seats in the center were filled, So they sat in the very back row; The pictures were very interesting, Of fighting in the Argonne, He took hold of her little hand, And — then the lights came on! Athletic Review Athletics have undoubtedly been bet- ter supported this year than in any previous one. In golf and tennis there were about forty entries, while in bas- ketball at least a hundred enthusiasts answered the call. Lowell Sparks not only won the championship at Manual but also turned in the lowest score in the city high school meet. Emmonds Turner gave Sparks a run for his title, coming in a close second. Julius Kleeman, playing a steady game of tennis, was able to defeat Emil Harmeson in the finals, and thereby added his name to the list of tennis champs. Harmeson forced Julius to play three sets, the result of which were 6 — 3, 2 — 6, 6 — 3, to cop honors. Next in chronological order, came basketball, the sport in which Manual excels. The day of the first call saw Manual ' s gym filled with would-be players, eager to show their worth. The more deserving of these men were selected and assigned to either the Ma- jor, Minor, Midget or Freshman teams of their respective floors. House I seamed to have the edge on the other floors, as it stood first at the close of the series. The city league teams, namely, the Monograms, Duplicates, Triangles, and, last and least, the Quads, were next selected. These teams were to represent Manual in battling similar teams from Tech and Shortridge for the city champion- ship. Sad, but true, the invincible Monogram team, with a 1000 per cent record, is the only team that has up- held our record satisfactorily. Let us now turn to Manual ' s state team, who, in spite of many hardships, are developing into a team which will be a real contender in the sectional meet next March. In the first place Coach Morrison was left with only one state team man around which to form (Continued on Page 13)

POST GRADUATES Looking back to the time when Manual was first organized there have been students, who after completing their thirty-two credits of work have re- mained in school for another semester. These students were, and still are, called post-graduates. Some took up post-graduate work in order to make up college entrance requirements, others simply to learn more than they knew at the present, and still others just to remain around their old school. Few post-graduates have ever done brilliant work, as statistics readily show. Some have done fair work but the majority have flunked flat in most of their studies. Few post-graduates realize what they are in school for. Not for socia- bility or for pleasure but to continue their studies. Beginning next semester a new ruling will go into effect. No post-graduate will be allowed to carry less than four subjects. This order has not been made for nothing. This order is intended to stop all loafing which a large part of post-graduates have been doing in the past. This editorial attempts by no means to discourage students in taking up work which they need to enter college. That is not the idea. It does, however, strike at those who intend posting until next June with the slogan Hang the grades, we ' re here for a good time!
