Preparing themselves for a vocation or for the task of handy man around the home, those boys enrolled in practical arts classes learn valuable techniques under careful supervision of eight in- structors. Equipment for the school, toys for under- privileged children, and furniture for their homes kept some busy as others learned radio theory and basic fundamentals of automobile and electric shop work. Mr. Russell Sands transferred from Technical to the Manual practical arts department last fall, and Mr. Edward Maybury joined the faculty in January. Although painting and sketching constitute a large part of the regular art class work, an oppor- tunity also is given to those wishing to do some- thing different. A papier-mache Indian mascot for the basketball team was created this year by arts and crafts class students. Posters for school activities, senior class arm bands, and Ivian layouts were among art production class projects which put theory to work for the good of the school. Gerald Camion, student in the practical arts department, puts the finishing touches on a what-not. Sketching outdoors, students in Mr. Robert Crawford ' s art class are Carl Huffman, Carol Stuck, Mary Weddle, Viola Williams, Carol Brown, and Mary Roberts. wj$ s L | 15

Clad in blue jeans and old shirts, they painted woodwork, waxed cabinets, and even hung wall paper. Other department activities included a fashion festival, in which Manualites modeled teen toggery, and numerous teas and luncheons at which students served. Mrs. Shirley Wible and Mrs. Pauline Stark joined the home economics faculty this year. 14

Learning the basic principles of music and the various techniques of harmonizing, harmony class mem- bers are (seated ) Beverly Willson, Eugene Nichols, William Breedlove, Ellen Jackson, and Gerald Burns. Standing are Robert Lyon. Don Eggert, and Mrs. Edith Binkley. ROTC members line up for inspection by Sgt. Don Winter, assisted by Cadet Capt. Gene Spencer and Honorary Capt. Janet Mahan. Other ROTC girl sponsors were Shirley Popplewell, Bettyjean Kestler, and Rat demons. A single glance at the number of students en- rolled in the various music classes proves that Manualites are a talented group. Whether a pupil ' s interest is in vocal or instrumental music — in pro- ducing or simply enjoying it — this department has a course to interest him. Not only does the music department provide entertainment for various school assemblies throughout the year, but it also schedules many appearances for church and bus- iness organizations in the community. From the parade grounds to the classroom, mem- bers of the ROTC are taught not only military techniques but also discipline, courtesy, and team- work. The basis for intelligent citizenship is laid by instruction in military policy, first aid, map read- ing, and marksmanship. By obtaining outstanding records in federal inspection and by participating in various parades, Manual ' s ROTC has brought credit and recognition to the entire school. — 16
