Realizing the importance of developing desirable standards of social and moral conduct, the physical education department offers both boys and girls an opportunity to participate in organized activities such as basketball, volleyball, tumbling, and hand- ball. Freshman boys compete in a semi-annual Decathlon. The ten boys who earn the most points out of a possible 1,000 win bronze Frenzel medals. Girls also learn various types of dancing. Many were the trials and tribulations of the eighth graders as they took over the east wing of the first floor at the beginning of the fall semester. These new papooses made a name for themselves by winning the city championship in football. As the Ivian went to press, they were well on their way to capturing a similar honor in basketball. New- teache rs in this department are Mr. William Ghckert, Mr. John Patten, Mr. Amos Smith, Mrs. Clarice Young, Mrs. Mary Magee, Mr. Don Mason, and Miss Theta Byrkett. Bob Shorter, Bob Reed. Rolland Slinky, and Ted Hamilton watch as Mr. Alvin Romeiser, boys ' physical education instructor, judges Bob Brtthn and Richard Harrison for the annual Decathlon. Eighth grade art students learning the fundamentals of lettering are Elmarie Hall. Clyde Duncan, and Billy Evans.

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

Blueprint For With Manual Friends . . One thing not usually associated with blueprints had to go on those drawings of Art K. Tect ' s. The plans of life at Manual in 1951-52 had to have people —people by the hundreds! From eighth graders to Dads and from department assistants to department heads, they took part, after classes were over, in group activities such as Ivy Day and all-school functions s uch as the school ' s birthday square dance. In the picture above senior president Jack Kidwell returns the trowel to Principal C. Edgar Stahl after planting the ivy for the Class of ' 52. Dick Nyers, vice- president; Rose Kelsey, fall semester secretary; Mr. W. Finley Wright, senior sponsor; and Charles Raker, treasurer, look on. 18-
