Then: First kj Duij in 1909 Now: Thcu camj on 1945 Seniors OUT of hundreds, oi priceless serapbooks and souvenir boxes spring memories of four happy years at Manual High School, and the great- est number of memories in any collection belongs to the senior year. There is something special about that senior year. By the time a Manualite becomes a senior, he is almost convinced that the world doesn ' t revolve around him, and he is certain that he doesn ' t know quite everything there is to know. Armbands, mottoes, banners, class days, ivy days, class plays, senior clubs and parties, class prophecies, wills — all spell senior with a capital S and loads of fun — to be cherished always. There has always been a senior class at Manual — even during the first year the students who came from High School No. 2 were graduated in June after attending classes in the new building only one semester. Little by little, senior activities were established; every class had a prophet and historian, but the Class of 1909 was the first to start the traditional Ivy Day. Since that time each class has planted an ivy vine and a stone marker bearing the class year until now the west wall is almost covered with ever-climbing ivy. This year ' s class was even luckier than most senior classes. Its members received the honor of being the golden anniversary graduating class. Members of the senior council hold important offices. They are the ones who maneuver all the special senior activities. Being senior class president is one of the highest senior honors and was bestowed on Raymond Raker when he accepted the gavel for the first semester this year. He stepped aside to give Dave Shaw top position for the second semester. Bill Schumann designed the 1945 armband and submitted the class motto, Each rung of the ladder of success is only a resting place — not a stopping place. Martha Price wrote the Ivy Day poem. Among all of the memories that linger, constant and true, there is one that is joyful and yet sad, commencement. Since 1922 seniors have marched down the aisle at Cadle Tabernacle, together for the last time, to sing Tis June, the month of roses. ... Though seniors will not be returning in September to scenes they loved so well, they will return again and again every February. As full-fledged alumni, this fiftieth anniversary class will catch up the torch and carry the Manual spirit on — on to the century mark!
