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.

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. 27 June 13, 1922 No. 13 Eva Temple Editor-in-Chief Harold Irby Managing Editor Literary Horace Storer Frank Churchman Elizabeth Rath Personals Edna Voils Athletics William Lichstinn Jokes Emerson Thompson Typists May Shields Marie Rank Mildred Hagerty Clara Wulzer. Faculty Advisors Lena Brady Edward Holloway At last we have started on the path to — what? Shall it be success or failure? Now is the time to re- solve. We have reached seniordom and have finished it. Some will go to college, others will have to go out into the world and face the hard facts of life, but life will be just what we make it. If we wish suc- cess, we must work and strive for it. Success will not come to anyone who sits down, calmly folds his hands and waits for it to drop into his lap. No, success is the compensation for hard, honest work. Many discouragements will meet every one of us on our way through life, but we must be optimistic. Just think that everyone must have his dark days, and these dark days must come to make us appreciate our brighter ones more. All you seniors, attention! Don ' t forget to subscribe for the Booster next year. It ' s terrible, seniors, but we have to go. Some day our class president will be the president of the United States. Wasn ' t our class play great? We wish all our athletic team! success for the following year. You, underclassmen, don ' t fail to back them up. What has happened to the class books? They seem to have lost their popularity. Say, don ' t you think we had some Booster this semester? We had a snappy little editor, that ' s the rea- son. Don ' t give up at the first failure, but try, try again. Sobbed a little senior leaving Man- ual, Oh, I have to face the cruel, cruel world now. Wtjrtt Swings £n Urntig It is best, my lad when the world goes wrong, to stick to your task, work straight along, and keep the goal of your hopes in sight; for things in the end, will come out right. That the tongue is not steel, yet it cuts, That cheerfulness is the weather of the heart. That advice is like castor oil — easy enough to give, but hard to take. That wealth, may bring luxuries, but luxuries do not always bring hap- piness. That an open mind, an open hand, and an open heart will everywhere find an open door. That success is never reached with- out hard work. Joe Jefferson: I hear your father won a suit in court the other day. Sam Glazier: Yes. But it wouldn ' t fit him.
