THEY WORK THEIR WAY Have you ever gone to a basketball game with- out your chewing gum? Amazing that we should have had the same experience! In our freshman year it happened that when we reached in our pocket, that horn of plenty was empty as a black pocket can be. Consternation was upon us. I-low could we sit through thirty-two tense minutes and still avoid the possibility of a complete nervous breakdown? It was a horrible thought. and we began to shiver with apprehension, when sud- denly towards our seat came angels of mercy on their mission of relief. The Booster Monastery had sent its St. Bernards into the mountains to save me from terrible agony. Hallelujah! the Boosters had driven through. Well, itis things like that that endear the Boosters forever in our hearts. How can we for- get their unselhsh actions when they are con- stantly reminding us of them? As if it were not enough that they should send their St. Bernards to our rescue with chewing gum. candy, and ice cream in their kits, the doors of the home mission are ever open, welcoming us. ministering to our parched throats with cooling draughts of Coca Cola, crossing our palates with all manner of sugared delicacies, filling us with hot buttered p o p c o r n when we've come to the game without eating, and even fixing hot dogs for us at those chilling foot- ball games. Truly won- derful people! But we have been con- sidering them only from the standpoint of what they do for our stomachs and our nerves. Natural as it may be to do this, we would be ingrates if we neglected to mention some of the other activities which this loyal North Side club engages in. They beautify the scenes of all our games by hang- ing red and white stream- ers from the rafters, plan pep sessions and supply those handsome red suits for our cheerleaders. By RICHARD BRUICK 4For three years these three have boosted the spirits ot North Side, Eugene Hartman, Robert johnson, and Wlilliam Swager. Under the guidance of their advisers. Nliss Oral Furst. Miss Katharine Rothenberger. Miss Judith Bowen. and Miss Hazel Plummer, the Boosters have risen to a place of importance in service. First Row: Nl. Vroman, I., Schwartz. E.
