THE BOOSTER i ©ur AtbbtrB Harold Harmeson is one of the best athletes in school and is an all round man. He plays football, basket ball, track, and baseball, and can be depend- ed upon for points at all times. As captain of the basketball team, he led his team in points scored and to victories at the sectional and regional. He was captain of the all-sectional team for last season. The school regrets to lose such a valuable man as Harmie. Carl Cecil, our big football guard, is another man to leave. Football is the only sport Cecil plays and he plays it well. His fighting spirit and rotund figure will be missed when the call for football is issued next fall. Another football man to leave is Edward Arens, who played left tackle. Eddie is known as a scrapper, hits the opposing line hard and is in every play. That is what makes him so good. Eddie also played basket ball, and is a valuable man for any college to get hold of. Elmer Ehiigholz, more commonly known as Dutch, is another well known athlete of our class. Elmer played both football and basket ball. He is known as a flashy tackle and a hard hitting player. He played in a guard position on the basketball team. It will be hard to fill Elmer ' s shoes next fall when the call for football is issued. David Goldman, our star dash man, has made quite a record for the season. This is his first and last year on the squd. With a few more years on the squad he would have been a wizz in track. Fred Myers, our flashy full-back, has finished his athletic days at school. He has developed ino a brainy full-back, can tackle well and is fair on de- fence. He is the type of player [any college should be glad to have. Lee Shane has been in athletics ever since he came to Manual. He piays basket ball and track. Always willing to fight and work hard, he has showed a determination to win against all odds. He did sound broad jump- ing for the track team and played forward on the second basket ball team. Louis Reichel, our all-state center, will also graduate, tie has been picked on the all-city teams, all-state teams, and has won a Purdue medal for his efficient work on the gridiron. He is the best all round football player that Manual has, and when he is in college he will make all-some- thing else, besides all-state. Benjamin Barker is both a basket ball and baseball man. He has played center on Manuals fives for several years and is now working in the pitchers box for the nine. With more backing, Bennie could have done better than he has. The graduating class will also take with it another well known athlete by the name of William Mitchell. Bill has been on Manual teams ever since he has been down tiere. He has played football, basket ball and baseball. While not being a brilliant player, he has been a consistent point getter and will be missed when future athletic calls are made. Fred Schuller, also graduates with the June Class. Basketball is the only sport he has engaged in, but he has done well at it. He was a star guard on the House III team and consequently made the state squad. He could always be counted on for points because of his ability to connect with the basket on long range shots.

THE BOOSTER (£la i0 ?jjt0tnrg— Mm. MiUifAl Seniors are usually very kind and thoughtful and the members of this class are not exceptions; therefore many toys and much money was brought to the senior party. Many a senior, and especially Hobart Burgan and Lawrence Rudbeck were seen gazing longingly at these toys. They, were, however, all sent to the day nursery wherq they were appreciated by the little children. January 4, 1922. Evelyn O ' Mara was chosen to take orders for pins and rings in Room 12 and Mildred Shadley in Room 4 7. Our motto was to be chosen the following Wednesday. January 11. Teamwork, Headwork, Hardwork, Then Success was chosen as our class motto. Our vice-president, Elmer Emigholz, submitted this very original motto. At this class gathering, it was decided to give a party for j the January Class. February 1. Miss Knox took charge of the meeting for the election of new officers; but all of the former officers, being both tried and trusted were re-elected unanimously. February 8. The class decided to give a bronze tablet to the school as their parting gift, on which would appear the school ' s Gold Star List. February 15. Mr. Bretzman, a man who has won great fame making people look better than they really are, was chosen as class photographer. Frank Churchman was the first to have his picture taken, and broke the camera so that some of the students do not have their pictures yet. March 10. Looking forward to our departure from school life, we elected Joe Burris as our will-maker, and then, of course, we wanted to know ' about our hereafter, and so we chose Dorothy Felton as prophet. It was decided that the class purchase two ferns for the house-warming to be held in the new building. Elmer Emigholz was selected as giftorian. March 15. Miss Perkins announced that Little Women had been chosen as the class play. March 22. April 2 8 was chosen as our Ivy Day. It was decided to have a gold cover on our Booster. April 7. Eva Temple is to be our senior editor. Make it a good one, Eva! The Ivy Day poem written by Nellie Campbell was selected and the only two songs submitted were both to be used. The banner designed by Margaret La Forge was chosen as class banner. April 12. The president asked for a report from the arm band committee and, of course, the arm bands were finished. On April 2 8 the class celebrated Ivy Day. Music was played while the Ivy was planted. At the exercises in our new auditorium, the Ivy Day poem was given by Nellie Campbell. Mary Dolk gave a soprano solo. Our famous varsity octette of boys and quartette of girls gave several delightful selec- tions. The class songs were sung. The idea embodied in the motto was well carried out in the design of the banner. The Senior Booster editor, Eva Temple, deserves special recognition for the delightful Senior Booster which was made possible by her untiring efforts and her devotion to the class. The class hopes that she may be an important editor some future day. Success always attracts attention and admiration, and we hope that every one who admires the success of the June ' 22 class will remember that this success could not have been possible without the untiring efforts of our sponsor, Miss Knox, the careful coaching of the plays by Miss Perkins, and willing help and encouragement of Miss Wheeler, Miss Brady, and Miss Evans.

THE BOOSTER ATHLETIC REVIEW THE BIRGE CLUB Looking back over the athletic seasons of the year, we can feel proud of the achievements which our teams have gained. In football we were the best the city had; in basketball, our team won its way to the state finals by its wonderful work after a poor start, and in track, although not a duplicate of last year ' s state champs, we have de- veloped practically a new team, and finally, we have a baseball team as good as any put out by a high school. Our football season, opening by the defeat of Wabash, the state champs, was a splendid one, marred only by the defeats from Louisville M. T. and Clinton, and ending with the overwhelming defeat of Shortridge, 50-0. Season MANUAL 75 MANUAL 2 8 MANUAL 27 MANUAL 13 MANUAL MANUAL MANUAL. MANUAL 50 193 Record Marion Wabash 2 Knightstown.. Louisville ..2 7 Sheridan Clinton 21 Technical Shortridge 68 The basketball record was a dif- ficult one, but the team put out all it had and ended the season with a no mean reputation. Playing the best teams in the state and defeat- ing Stivers of Dayton, Ohio Champs, out team finished with a season score of 590 as against 6 50 for the oppon- ents. As a climax to the season, we won the sectional by a battle royal with Tech, and the r egional from Pittsboro, but succumbed to the at- tack of Bloomington in the finals. Overcoming the handicap of build- ing up a new track team, our coach has developed some good material. Winning three out of four meets, losing the first dual meet lost by our team in seven years, and scoring thirteen points in the sectional, is not a bad record for the season. On the diamond we have been more successful. Our team has met and defeated some of the best teams in the state. The Birge Club, although one of the youngest clubs in Manual, is among the most active. The club was organized in the spring of 1921 by Mr. Winslow, our former director of music. The purpose of this club is to further the interests of music, not only in school, but outside as well. The club had its meetings every first and third Tuesday of the month. The sponsors of the club are Miss Kirkman and Mr. Davenport. This semester has been a very ac- tive one for the club. It has attract- ed attention from outside the school as well as in. The organization has had a guest artist recital in which prominent artists of the city fur- nished the program. It also had the honor of putting on the first of the series of programs held in the new auditorium for the students. Another important fact is that near- ly all the participants of the Music Memory Contest were Birgers. All the club ' s activities are not work, for every now and then the members are entertained with parties and pic- nics. The Birge Club is very useful to the school, for when any kind of music is wanted the material is eas- ily found in the membership of the club. The officers of the club for this semester are Eva Temple, president; Lola Lyzott, vice-president; Thelma Cavaness, secretary; and Frank Arens, treasurer. (Continued from page 5) One of our twirlers, Fred Wenning, has made a reputable showing in baseball. This is his first and last year on a Manual team and conse- quently it will lose a valuable man. In pitching several fine games, he has shown what can be accomplished by hard work and spirit.
