Adjusting a sign denoting Hello Day, which Manual- ites celebrated in October, are Dorathea Kilgore, Christine Fleming and Joe Atkins, members of Miss Jean Dunbar ' s English Ig class (upper left). At the traditional candlelight ceremony, freshman girls were initiated into the Girls League of Manual (upper right). Looking over the honor roll, Esther Scharfe, Glenda Swords, Carol Woodmansee, Barbara Chadd and Mar- garet Steele are five freshmen who had an average of 7.50 or more in January (middle left, left to right). Suann Luessow sang before her classmates at the GLM installation as well as at the first-day freshman program and in the vaudeville (middle right). Swish! and out from the dark room came a cloud of dust. No, Joe Gagen hadn ' t turned janitor — he just got tired of all the dirt that had collected in his favorite extracurricular hangout. Joe not only assisted the photog- raphy staff in preparing pictures for the yearbook, but also won fifth prize in the Booster photography contest. Master of ceremonies when spring semester freshmen reported to the auditorium for the first time was Carl Haussecker (lower left). Ray Cory played a clarinet solo accompanied by Donald Crow (lower right).

Freshmen Full of eagerness, excitement and plenty of puzzling questions (see Shirley Relford, upper left), 567 papooses began classes in the Manual Tepee in Sep- tember or January. Carefully ignoring the taunts and jests of upperclasimen, they set out to ac- complish a good record. And they did, too. On hand to help cheer their basketball team to second place in the city for 1950 was the first freshman cheer leading team ever organized at Manual. The team (upper right, left to right) includes Judy Webb, Sharon Roth, Shirley Rouse, Jerry Hayse, Joan Crow, Janet Mahan and (not shown) Carol Wood- mansee. Lucky sports fans elected by their roll room as representatives to the frosh Pep Club were admitted to the games free. After playing Gordo in the vaudeville, Ed Clark felt right at home as fresh- man candidate for Cactus Cabellero for the Fiesta popularity contest. Miss Wood- mansee, elected to run for Mexicale Maid, was also one of the track queens. Another freshman winner was Margaret Steele (cutout), who received the Masoma Award for the highest grade average in the fall semester 9B class. To be or not to be, wondered harried Mask and Wig pledges after a tough going-over by established thespians. But, surviving all, the frosh, Janet Mahan, Carol Knapp, Mary Hood, Pat Ham, Barbara Lockhart and Joan Crow, were formally initiated in January. Did you know that all cubs won ' t grow up to be bears? Manual ' s cubs become full fledged reporters after having 15 inches of copy printed in The Booster. After preparing themselves in Miss Helen Carter ' s Cub Club, Esther Scharfe, Marilyn Andrews, Pat Tollan and Linda Morton were initiated as Booster staff members in March. Yes, the future seems promising for the Class of ' 53, especially since plans for the new Manual are well under way.

Sophomores Ah! What a relief to be a sophomore! No more taunts of freshie, no mo re elevator tickets, no more bum steers into the wrong locker room . . . but don ' t sopho- mores have fun teasing the new freshmen ! Flash Gun Casey had nothing on Bill Stokes (cutout), who came to the help of Miss Theo B. Parr, school photographer, on the enlarged 1950 Ivian. Sporting his own camera, Bill took, developed or printed many of the pictures, with the help of his classmate, Barbara Gritton. A print of the middle basketball shot on Page 52 won second place in the Booster ' s photography contest for him. Class leaders in scholastic standing last January, Alva- deen Rollins, Mary Carr, Patty Silvers and Sandra Ketchum gather for a chat in the hall (below, left to right). Miss Carr also plays the viola as a member of the Orchestra ' s Mary Trio, and was accompanist for the trumpet trio. Throwing their hats . . . oops! sombreros . . . into the ring, Pat Mudd and William Green were sophomore can- didates for the Fiesta popularity contest. Second year students were mighty proud of Richard Nyers, who played on the regular varsity basketball team and in many varsity football games, and Green, who also saw action on the varsity hoop squad. 10
