X hey don ' t hang around the pool room when they should be in the school room, but Small Fry is still an appropriate dedication to our freshmen. More than one bewildered freshie ending up in the girls ' instead of the boys ' locker room has bewailed his fate as a victim of those helpful people who advised him which stairway to take. Older students tease them ' bout their size — small fry — but the freshies this year took advantage of what might have been a handicap and formed two dwarf basketball teams. Skins and shirts or Tutterrow ' s Dynamic Dwarfs and Raker ' s Mighty Midgets developed hot rivalry before the end of the season. The small fry never hear the end of incidents like eating from their trays or going up the wrong side of the stairs. But it was a freshman, Thornton Lambert, who won the Roines yell contest. The freshmen have their representatives to Know ' Em Poem, too. They are Anton Holevas, Walter Reinacker, Carolyn Kuebler and Mary Ann McCrary. Miss McCrary, as president of freshmen girls, was to light the GLM candle at installation service in March, but in a streamlining of the ceremony, candles were omitted. However, she is still full-fledged president and Klee Smith and Barbara Jacobs are her assistants. Freshmen Robert Coins, Allen Glass, Charles Smith, James Jackson, Robert Reifeis and Dean Royalty were the ten high scorers from junior high in the Decathlon Contest in January. First-year people had a try at Mask and Wig this year, too, for the first time in its history — another broken record! Geraldean Powell, Norma Jean Chaney, James Short, Marjorie Sher, Betty Bratcher, Robert Buell, Jerry Gasho and Wesley Walton are the freshmen pledges. 30

w. itli the radio turned down low playing Little Man You ' ve Had a Busy Day, the little man in question mumbles through a bi-i-g yawn, How true, how true! and slips his tired feet out of his shoes. You see, the little man has just been reviewing Manual activities for the year, so he has a good reason for being tired. He has been running around faster than the discs on a phonograph all day — trying to see everything. First on his list was the May Day program, starring those five beauteous ladies of stage and screen — Well, he can dream, can ' t he? — starring those five beauteous ladies, Almarie Hoffmann, our May Queen, and Barbara Arnold, Ann Etherington, Norma Hupke and Wilma Rooker, her attendants. Famous Hollywood personalities, Mexican seiioritas and characters stepping from between book covers entertained Her Majesty and the court at the third-period celebration on May 3. A peep at the next item on the little man ' s list reveals some facts about Manual ' s forty-ninth birthday anni- versary celebration. Portraying The Singing Belles from Frisco and Dangerous Dan McGrew, a group of students helped the alumni celebrate on Feb. 19. Two-gun Mac, our own Skipper McComb, in checkered shirt, suspenders and a bona fide-looking beard, was almost unrecognizable. An in-school performance, featur- ing a huge birthday cake, also recognized Dame Manual ' s birth date. Now we come to some musical events on his itinerary. The fifth annual concert, featuring novelty selec- tions, marches, classics, solos and swing numbers, according to the Philip Morris advertisements, was presented by the Manual Band on Jan. 21. The appearance of Mr. Ferdinand Schaefer, leading Begin the Beguine, highlighted an assembly given by the Manual Orchestra Jan. 13. Mr. Fabien Sevitsky and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra visited Manual March 1, and a farce, Romeo and Juliet, ' was presented by the Boys Glee Club March 9. Betty McDonel, Bob Murray and Dick Deer had lead roles in Lady Spitfire, comedy presented by the Mask and Wig Club Jan. 13; while speech students appeared on High School Hour radio program Jan. 11. The little man says he could ramble on and on about the annual GLM Vaudeville Dec. 3, an auditorium pro- gram based on an outside reading course in English classes, science, language and history department programs, war stamp sales, Navy essay contest winners and a hundred other things. But he is so sleepy and tired that he is just going to refer you to the pictures coining on the next pages. 32
