THE BOOSTER BY WANDA LYDAY When Alia Axiom resigned his position as Crystal Gazer, I made a study of the work and became his successor. One day, while idly gazing into the Crystal I saw events and incidents of the January ' 2 2 Class which astounded me! I could clearly see a studio on E. Washington street with the name Madame Charlotta Ze S outh blazing about it. My old friend, Charlotte, had become a toe dancer. Farther down the street was a Hash House run by Maurice Bowers; out in front of which were Lawrence Leonhardt, William Quill and Francis Schatz dishing out samples of the hash to those passing by. As I watched, I saw William Watts walk up and take a spoonful. He imme- diately swooned and a crowd collected. Approaching the stricken William, I saw a burly policeman, formerly Matty Giesler, jostling his way through the crowd as if he were still on the basket ball floor at Manual. Before he could reach the unconscious form, a dapper looking gent approached and slipped a card into the patient ' s cold hand which bore the name of Doctor (Harold) Huff. An ambulance drew up and I perceived the driver to be the dainty Harry Schricte. Two waiters skipped gayly out with the stretcher. They were Allen Wh ite and Edward Underwood. Back of them I saw Helen Glyn and Alice Caveny, the nurses, in lavender uniforms, carry- ing little parasols to match. The scene changed and I saw a theatre with the names of Irvin Baum- bach and Pauline Chastain in electric lights. They were playing on the stage as The Kandy Kids. Strolling past the theater came Karl Schnep and May Brennan. They were discussing the fortunes of their old class- mates. Whatever became of Chester Lively? asked Karl. Oh, you mean ' Pest, ' why he is a minister now. He and Mary Johnson eloped right after graduation. They are living down in Brown county. Do you re- member Eugene Manker and Carolyn Richeson? They seem doomed to a life apart for Eugene was adopted by a millionaire who changed his name to Toots, while Carolyn married our class joke, Ralph York. They passed on and I saw Raymond Cassady and Eunice Cassady in a serious discussion. It seems that Raymond had discovered Eunice to be his long-lost sister, Jezebel, and they were now united in a search for the Fourth Dimension. A newsboy came running past shouting that Albert Tegeler had won the game for the New York Giants. On the front page I saw a picture of our Class Vamp, Lucille Roesener and her husband. The victim was Edward Cruse. Over in the Society Column was an announce- ment of Herbert Ally ' s engagement to a certain Miss in the June Class. Out of the theatre where the Kandy Kids were playing, came Margaret Vitz and Loretta Helmuth. They said that it was almost as good as the Class Play, Nevertheless, and that led to a discussion of their Class in general. Have you seen Helen Murphy, recently, inquired Loretta. The last I heard of her she was engaged to Harry Martin. Why, answered Margaret. She broke her engagement once — they say she was jealous of Harry ' s attentions to Bernice Miller — but now they are engaged again. Jeanne Wilson had her fortune told the other day. The woman said that she should beware of April 1, 1925, for then she would have to choose between happiness and Delver Landers. I heard that Jeanne is very excited over it. Is that so? said Loretta. You would hardly know Austin Gillespie any more. He has become so pious that he can scarcely speak. The two girls jumped aside just in time to escape being hit by Elmer Rohr- man ' s banana cart, and I lost sight of them in the crowd. It was then Continued on page 12

THE BOOSTER The Booster PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY The Pupils op 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. 26 January 25, 1922 No. 12 SENIOR COMMITTEE Homer Phillips Editor-in-Chief Allen White Asst. Editor-in-Chief Jean Gregg Literary Editor Pauline Chastain Literary Editor Harry Rail Athletics TYPISTS Lucille Dichman Josephine Stone FACULTY ADVISORS Elizabeth Hench Edward Holloway E. H. Kemper McComb EDITORIAL At last the goal is reached. For four eventful years Seniors have been struggling to reach that coveted white line. At times they have slipped and fallen, but all have sur- vived and are now ready to start out on the ship of life. And this ship is no joke, either. If you run on the rocks, your life is spent. You can be classed a = s a failure or a suc- cess. It all depends on the way the individual guides his ship. In the few years of high school life Seniors probably think that he or she has seen real life. But this is not so. School life is nothing compared with the experiences that are met later on. It has been said by a reliable author- ity that going out into the world to fight life ' s battles is the best college education a person can possibly ob- tain. It won ' t take so very long for the majority of us to discover that this is true. While we pause on the threshold we should give the old school one more thought, for on the morrow we will be one of the many millions of insignificant beings on this great earth. Some of us or rather the greater number of us, have done something to further the activities in the school. In this manner we have become known throughout the school and in time others look up to ptttnr Since the past and future of the Seniors is published let ' s get ready for the new term. We ' d be tickled to read later on that our basket team had got started. All good Seniors subscribed for the Booster for next semester. Noth- ing like keeping in touch with your friends. Class books were not so predomi- nant this semester. Prices must have raised. Class Day has come and has gone. Every year still the same. The Seniors wish for Captain Harmeson a victorious team in the sectional. Only way to get this Harmey. Make ' em train. Bet Stuart Walker envies us with our all star cast. Miss Perkins, as usual, deserves all the thanks that can be given to her for making the plays a success. Now that the Seniors are going, the office can rest for a spell. One thing we regret. The new building won ' t see us. Nor will we see the new building. Who knows but what our presi- dent may be a real one some day. There will be plenty of jobless men when the Seniors leave. us as a fitting example for them to follow. But now this is all past. You may visit the school some day, but everything will seem different. Here and there a person recognizes a former graduate, but it isn ' t like it was in the past. It ' s too bad Seniors, but we must face it. There are greater difficulties to be encountered. Make your friendships with the school a sacred one and always dwell with reverence on thoughts of the best days of your life — school days at good old Manual.
