THE BOOSTER The Booster PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY The Pupils of Chas. E. Emmerich Manual Training High School Entered as second-class matter March 30, 1912, at Indianapolis, Indiana, under act of March 3, 1879. INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA 5 Cents a Copy 50 Cents a Semester Vol. 24 January 19, 1921 No. 13 EDITORIAL BOARD. Paul Habbe Editor-in-Chief Alberta Bernd Personal Editor Margaret Kluger News Editor Lillyon Snyder Joke Editor Viora Frye Art Editor Paul Adam Athletic Editor Stenographers lone Bryant Martha Gooch Faculty Adviser Edward Holloway. Our year of seniordom at Old Man- ual is at an end. It has been a won- derful year! What an opportunity! What a privilege it has been to have been a member of such a school; to fight for its principles; to glory in its victories; and to be thrilled with that wonderful Manual spirit! We hope that the true, fair and square, sportsman-like spirit of our Manual is a part of your very being. Aren ' t you sorry to leave? Remem- ber the football games, the class meetings — everything. Soon we ' ll speak of those as the good ole days. Many of us will attend colleges and universities and become interested in their activities. Still, there is a cer- tain something about Manual that at- tracts us — that makes Manual the best high in the world — that we feel will not be present at any other school. As we look back over our four years at Manual, we realize that there are many, many things which we did not do as we now wish. So it must be with the dying man. He, invariably, wishes that he could live his life over again. How much more of a success he could have been! How he could correct this and that mistake! His opportunities have ended. We still have a chance in the life at college. Make it count! Be interested in all school affairs. Remember that ' the end justifies the means. ' Next Year ' s Editor A real fellow; a peppy, enthusiastic Manualite; newly elected president of the Roines club; and the high hurdler on the famous 1920 State Track Squad — and you are introduced to next semester ' s editor-in-chief of the M. T. H. S. Booster. In the spring of 1920 this person was assistant editor — so, you see, he knows his stuff. You are lucky, we say, to have Robert Ross at the head of your paper. Back him up! A good way to keep in touch with Manual is to subscribe to the Booster. Mail subscriptions are 55c. The January class wishes to con- gratulate Delford Poore on his most realistic cartoon which appears in this A new song hit: Up from the Ranks We Arose, by Raymond Da- maske and Fred Buddenbaum. Miss Brady — When you use an abbreviation what might it signify? Hugh Johnson — That you couldn ' t spell the word. Magdalene Eberhard (congratulat- ing Jo on her birthday) — Many happy returns of the day. Jo Renier (absent mindedly) — Same to you. In spite of the big jump in prices, you have missed but one issue of this volume of the Booster. This is number thirteen — the last under the present management. Here ' s to the Booster of 1921! This semester we have had about 1,150 sub- scribers — or a little better than 86 per cent of the entire school. We need, and must have, an equal number of subscribers next semester or — no Booster.

6 THE BOOSTER January ' 21 Athletes Emil A. Harmeson. When Emil Harmeson leaves Man- ual to take up his life work this school will lose one of the best atheletes she ever turned out. For three years he has been a leader in every branch of athletics, major as well as. minor, that makes up the athletic curiculum of the school. Beginning as a freshman, he showed well as a pole-vaulter and basketball player, The next year he made the second basketball team as center and last year was 1 forward and ' mainstay for the team, which was made up entirely of raw material. His efforts and brilliant playing were re- warded this year, for he was elected captain of the state team. In track, he does his share in the pole vault. There is not the slightest doubt of his being the premier vault-man in In- diana schools. In 1919, when a soph- omore, he tied ' for sectional honors and placed second at the state meet, while last year he won both events. For one year he was varsity pitcher on the Manual baseball nine and in 1919 he was runner-up for the school tennis championship. And last, but not least, he was one of the most consistent players on the strong Man- ual football team of this year. He was given a place as half-back on the all-city mythical scholastic eleven. Summing up, we find that he has taken an active part in the five dif- ferent sports recognized by the school. No wonder that he is known as one of the best all-round athletes in the state. The college which is favored with his prowess may well be thankful and we hope that it and he may have a successful athletic career. Carl (Mickey) Wundram. One of the best tackles in the state. Mickey played his first and last year of high school football this semester. Coupled with York, he made an im- pregnable wall. Although this was the only sport in which Mickey gained such great honors as the all-city team, he was a shot-putter last year for a while. Sherman Lightle. Another athlete who graduates in January is a small, wiry young fel- low — Sherman Lightle. In 1920 he played with the second basketball team and did some very creditable playing, too. He was also catcher on the baseball team. Athletic Review The year of 1920 is past. A poet said, Let the dead past bury its dead. But a year like 1920 should be remembered for some time. If for no other reason than the return of athletics -to their deservedly high standard, this year would be auspi- cious. For Manual had one of the best years in its history of athletics. TRACK. Starting out with track, the com- bination of Whitney, Harmeson, De- Motte, and Gardner could not even be equalled, and as a resut, Manual was recognized as state track champion for 1920. Everything fell before them. The Franklin Invitational Meet and the State Track Meet were both won by comfortable leads. Manual did not show so well in the smaller meets be- cause her team was composed of a few stars instead of a large number of mediocre performers. FOOTBALL. Next in line was football. After an absence of thirteen years, football returned with a whoop-boom. Manual was defeated in her initial game by the strong Wabash team, which is now recognized as the interscholastic champion ' of Indiana. The next Sat- urday, despite the fact that the team was split in twain, it got an even break, defeating Marion to a tune of 14-0, while it dropped its only intra- state game to the Louisville Boys School, 48-0. On the next Friday, Manual took Sheridan, conceded to be one of the strongest teams in the state, down by the score of 13-7. After the Sheridan game, the team continued in steady practice for two Albert Hartman and George McNeely These two athletes, also famous as pals, have acquitted themselves well in the athletic field. When freshmen, both made the basketball team of their class. Then when football came back, so did they. Hartman played tackle in a majority of our games and McNeely played back and end in sev- eral contests. And now since bowling has been taken up at Manual, the two buddies are becoming bowling sharks. This review of t|ie athletes grad- uating in January only is additional proof that January ' 21 is the best class Manual ever had.
