THE BOOSTER minutes I left Everett and started for the hotel. Proceeding about a half block I came face to face with Maurice Bowers. Oh, yes, I am doing well, said Maurice in answer to my question. I have a restaurant fashioned after the one that used to be across from Manual, where I visited so much. You remember Dorotha Criss, don ' t you? Well, she and Lucy Court and Ethel Hill are working for me in the kitchen. And Herbert Wessel and Charles Porter are filling the places of waiters. When I finally got away from Maurice I again set out for the hotel and reached it without further adventure. I went to a clerk and asked to be shown to my room. The clerk touched a bell, and immediately a bell-hop answered the summons. You can imagine my surprise when I saw that Will Cuppy was inside the blue suit with red stripes on it. Knowing how well Will liked to talk, I asked him how he liked his job, and he said that it sure would be a tiresome job if it were not for Maxwell Shirley, Theodore Probst, Herman Otto and Don Ellis, who were on the shift with him. I agreed with Will that that bunch ought to make life interesting for him. The next morning when I came down I spied Saul talking with Ralph Broeking (to whom Marian Basey was so devoted in the class play), so I hurried over to join in the conversation; and learned that Ralph had married Marion, and was running a hardware store about two blocks from the hotel. Ralph told me also that Marion Marshall was property manager of the Stuart- Walker Company, with Helene Dunham, Virginia Rose, and Ruth Thatcher helping her. I guess all of them got their experience from our class play. About nine o ' clock I strolled out on the streets and started again thru town. I heard a paper boy yelling, Extra! 2,000 dead in Graveyard, and bought a paper; and before I realized I had been duped the boy was gone. I thought I might as well read it since I had it. On the third page was an article about the return from Europe of Prof. Deupree, the noted scientist, and his wife, Rosa Kaufman. This sounded interesting; so I proceeded to look over the rest of the article. 1 observed that David Lehner, Walter Hurst, and Wilbur Green, the noted chemists, were to accompany him on a tour of the United States, while their wives, Marjorie Nardloh, Frieda Rahe, and Mary Regula were to stay in Chicago with Rosa and knit socks for the soldiers in case there should be another war. I was so interested in the paper that I did not notice where I was going and as a result T bumped into someone. In looking up to apologize, I found myself tipping my hat to Helen Ledig. I stood to chat with her a few min- utes, and she told me that she and Lucille Clark were specializing in Toe- dancing in a roof garden in Charleston. Then I asked her if she knew any news of any of the other members of our class. I found out that Votaw Hancock, Victor Helm and Wilmetta Mitchell had formed a minstrel show for the benefit of the foreign children and that it was a great success. Helen told me also th?t Louise Essex and Marion Bell were on a great concert tour. Her traveling companions were, Ruth Fehr, who had been quite accom- plished on the Victrola; Ralph Hopping, who was astonishing ' the world with his sleight-of-hand performances; Mary Sweeney and Emir a Brinkman who sang a very pretty little duet entitled, You Can ' t Drive a Nail With a Wet Sponge, and Wilma Brinkley, who recited the little poem, The Little Bird Sat on the Roof of the Cowshed and Scratched It ' s Neck. Helen also told me that Herman Otto had been fortunate enough to get the position of tutor to the Prince of Wales. I ' ll bet we ca i guess where he got his experience. In asking about Joe Prout and William Wertz I found thet Joe had written a book entitled The Secret of Running Low Hurdles. William, it seems, had started a very large gymnasium in France in which he was teach- ing the young Frenchmen how to put the shot 52 ft. 3 in. -H. RENNARD.

12 THE BOOSTER Athletic Review FOOTBALL, after a lapsp of thirteen years, came back to the city high schools with a kick. Manual lost the city championship to Tech, 24 to 13. but came back strong two weeks later and beat Shortridge 21 to 0. By virtue of a victory over Sheridan, state title contender, Manual can claim as high a standing in the state as Tech, since the latter lost to them. Tech ' s strong basketball team won a hard fought final game in the sectional tournament from our up and at ' em boys. Our men showed up finely in their three hard games on the last day of the meet. To our team goes the credit of staying, game and clean, to the finish in the fight which resulted in a score of 19 to 14 for Tech. Stung by defeats in two sports, Manual gave Tech a fall in a triangular track meet with Anderson, in the sectional, in the state, and at Chicago. The sectional was won with 50 points to 26 for Tech, our nearest opponent; the state came with 19 points against 15 for Tech, while the team placed seventh in the national meet at Stagg Field with 10 points. Ten men were qualified for the state meet and all but three placed. In the words of Mr. Morrison, the best track team we ever had. Baseball was not so successful. Altho we beat Shortridge, both Tech and the Cathedral High defeated us. The spring tennis tournament was won by Julius Kleeman, the last year champ.
