Patience, Perfection. . . . Guided through the year by their motto, the Class of ' 50, adorned in cap and gown, will be graduated from Manual Training High School at twilight services June 7 on the Technical High School campus. Adding to the green cloak that adorns Dame Manual, President Frank Mascari performed the traditional rite for the class ( Page 1 ) . The class banner ( Page 24, bottom ) , designed by Ruthanne Pattison, was presented and poems written by Etta Preston, Fred Buehl and Iris Carman were read at the program. Dance enthusiasts Harry Schmedel and Barbara Harrington, and Don Higgs and Louise Hendricks (Page 24, top, left to right) joined the fun in the cafeteria later in the day. Having longed for that last year since their freshman days, seniors now look forward to their future lives at college, work or homemaking. College bound girls re- laxed at a Valentine tea given by the faculty and at a Panhellenic-sponsored tea at the Governor ' s mansion in March. Not to be outdone by the girls, 20 occupation- minded boys visited Rotary Club members at their bus- iness establishments. Representing the class in scholastic standing. Miss Pres- ton, Doris Smith, Evelyn Taylor and Raymond Buck (top right, left to right) were awarded Top Ten certificates, while Richard Elder, Douglas Lakes, Miss Pattison and Barbara Harrington were senior representatives in the Fiesta popularity contest.

Other cast members were Ed Saters, Sedorah Bradburn, Richard Oliphant, Miss Preston, Pat Denne- man, Barbara Willoughby, Buck, Marilyn Richards, Fred Bennett, Betty Koenig, Elizabeth Brown, Shyrlee Miller, David Caley and Lela Braun.

THE IVY VINE A lonely ivy vine is struggling to grow, Gallantly, it lasts through wind and snow. It thrives! Its tendrils, nourished by the sod, Slowly, tenaciously, climb upward to God. At last, the goal is won — the top of the wall. Vfe, like this ivy vine, must not fall. But go forward and onward to meet success Remembering the words, Failure ne ' er confess! — Etta Preston 24
