TI-IE CRIMSON MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF MANUAL There is no stain upon thy name, Manual, fair Manual. S time for graduation rolls around, I recall vividly my first impression of Manual. I was about I4 years old at the time, and a non-resident of Louisville. In fact, we lived about 250 miles from Louisville, in the western part of the State. We had been visiting some friends near Louis- ville, so we all came to spend the day in the uBig Cityn. In driving around, we happened to pass Manual. We turned down Oak and I got a glimpse of the machine shop through the windows. The high school in my home town had no shops. Indeed, the academic subjects were few. The large buildings and vine-covered walls filled me with awe. I had always wanted to attend a school with shops, but now I had a desire to attend a particular school-Manual. Little did I dream that some day that desire would be ful- filled. But then it happened. Dad was transferred from the Resettlement Administration to the Internal Revenue Depart- ment, and we were to move to Louisville. At last my dream would come true. No longer would my desire be a far-off dream, but a reality. I have been at Manual two and a half years now, and time draws near for me to leave and seek knowledge elsewhere. Close in my memory always will be cherished the thoughts of Manual and the inspiration I received from her principal and corps of efficient teachers. Adieu. -Raymond Sims, Editor. 6
