I soon learned I couldn ' t stay in the race for having the most records after I met the office force. I put mine on wax, but you should see all they have on paper! Mrs. Mary Spiegel and Misses Violet Throm, Margie Grider, Charlotte Hafer, Margie Board and June Kennedy have kept the records spinning in the main office, while around in the social service office a half dozen friends in need headed by Miss Mildred Harvey have lots of record-ing to do, too. Mrs. Helen Flinn, lunchroom manager, has to keep her eye on how much and what Manualites want to eat, and Miss Julia Niebergall and Mr. D. W. Jackson help in the physical education and shop de- partments. Then there ' s Mr. Roy Harmon, head custodian — and my personal buddy. He was always following me with a 50-foot extension and extra fuses, ' cause I blew plenty of ' em.

t Prexies John Lee and Roy Turley Round and round — Who-o-o-a! My poor head is spinning from the number of records the senior class made. One for Ivy Day, Class Day, elections, class play. . . . While I ' m getting myself unwound, let ' s see what the Ivy Day wax can tell us. Ivy Day on Nov. I 6 was the first big event on the ' 48 class calendar. John Lee, fall semester president, did a super job of planting the ivy and placing the ' 48 marker while senior roll room officers stood by to witness the solemn hour. Kathlyn Kuhner, head of the program committee, Don Cope, Barbara Snodgrass, Nila Jo Hawkins, Jack Poole, Lawton Link and Phyllis Cummins organized and directed that backwards launaM hour, and everything went fine on this stage- to-auditorium hook-up. This day was truly dress-up day for the seniors, sporting mortar board arm bands designed by Carolyn Marshall, who, by the way, took second place for a water color painting at the Indiana State Fair art show earlier this year and won four Scholastic keys for work submitted in the regional art awards contest. Certificates of merit in the Scholastic regionals went to John Leisure and Ronald Kistner. Carolyn also headed a list of Saturday scholarship winners for John Herron Art Institute. Others were Sylvia Camhi, William Dean and Wilma Harding. That platter sounded smooth, didn ' t it? Well, another smooth affair was the Christmas party and dance where money and gifts were the price of admission. They were sent to the Indianapolis Day Nursery as the seniors ' token of good will. Santa Claus could take notes from these Manualites! Leading up to that eventful night of June I , when diplomas will float around the class with the usual mixed voltage of gladness and sadness, seniors celebrated Class Day May 18, just a little too late to record for this program. That leaves just one 18-inch record to be cut, but the seniors will make it, their graduation ceremony and prom, the biggest and best of their class history — a real all time all-timer. The last I 8 weeks of school for the seniors have been filled with activities headed by Roy Turley, who defeated his op- ponents on a four-man ticket for class president. Roy was the first president of a senior class to be elected on a real voting machine. Our recordings showed that many seniors were making an early start toward becoming celebrities. They started off with the Robison-Ragsdale Post Award which went to Marilyn Hafer, yearbook editor, bi-weekly assistant editor and GLM prexy, and Turley, who also won the basketball free throw trophy and the Bausch and Lomb award in science.
