GamixaiaH r lectiani cMifyltliCfUt yean Dads saved themselves an advance on Junior ' s al- lowance when they sponsored the free Hard Times Halloween Dance in cooperation with the music de- partment. Television programs shared the spotlight with dancing, playing cards, and the latest chatter. Officers lor the Dads Club for the 1952-53 year were Mr. Ted Bennett, president; Mr. Rex Fox, vice-presi- dent; Mr. Robert Cain, secretary-treasurer; and Mr. Noble Poole, recording secretary. Halloween costumes received another work-out at the Mardi Gras, sponsored by the Mask and Wig Club. Members of the senior choir became gold miners in November as the organization sponsored the oper- etta The Golden Trail, set in the days when cow- boys were real and not television heroes. Leads were played by Phyllis Cox, David Stahl, Suann Luessow, Carolyn Link, Shirley Burks, Jim Wessel, Don Dur- rett, and Robert Koepper. Poems and prose by English III students and songs by the Girls Glee Club highlighted the annual Thanks- giving Day program. Students in Miss Dorothy Forsyth ' s English class (top) enter the library to vote in the mock election sponsored by the history department. Manualites favored the Republican ticket for three of the four offices. Officials at the election were students in United States problems and government classes. Pictured here are Webster Brewer and Patricia Mad- dock, clerks. Mary Ellen Craig, Bill Kirkman, Don Durrett, Pat Rose- brock, Nancy Downing, and Joy Seiler talk around the coke bar at the Mask and Wig Club ' s annual masquerade dance, the Mardi Gras. Dance bands from Broad Ripple and Manual high schools played, and prizes were given for the best costumes.

Political £andiva fOn (lalU M p. Politics influenced the year ' s activities in Manual as well as Washington, D. C, as Manualites leaped on the bandwagon to elect first a Jamboree Queen then Student Affairs Board members, class officers, contest- ants for Clem and Corabelle, George and Martha, Dotty and Dan, and the May Queen. It is time for a change! students agreed when they held their mock election and voted for candidates from the three major parties in the 1952 national elec- tion. Soon after Manualites showed that they favored candidate Eisenhower, the nation joined with them in their decision. In Tepee Town a strong opponent to the Eisenhower forces was candidate Pogo. During the first semester a sway-backed little guy sprouting wings and a halo appeared in an auditorium program to ask Manualites to improve lunchroom con- ditions. This little fellow told students, Let the Man- ual Spirit move you. To help correct cafeteria crowd- ing, another lunch period was added, giving Manual four lunch periods a day. Dads Club members fried fish until they nearly grew fins in trying to feed Manualites before the Sacred Heart football game at Delavan Smith Field. Vincent Raja, Lowell Harris, Virginia McKhann, Phyllis Cox, John Tucker, Phil Antrobus, Charles Eickman, and an unidentified Redskin receive food at one of the new refreshments stands (top). Ivian staff members discussed plans for the yearbook in the auditorium skit presented to promote sales (bottom). Skit participants are Jack Patterson, Bob Koepper, Kathleen Cal- lon, Barbara Lockhart, Margaret Steele, Jeanie Nichter, Mari- lyn Andrews, Dolores Tracy, and Shirley Rouse.

Gltli tmai,, Bin£Udouf Actiuitiei, Businessmen returned to school for a day during Education Week to see how future citizens are being trained to take part in the business world. Turn about became fair play when teachers visited industries for a better understanding of the work tor which young people are preparing. The same week parents visited the school for the annual P-TA Open House to see student demonstrations. A new spring outfit came early for the corners of Madison and Merrill streets when long-needed stop- lights were installed to add flashing color as well as safety for pedestrians and motorists. Old man Winter couldn ' t discourage fun-loving Tribesters from donning season finery for the music department ' s Snow Whirl, and after the holidays mid- year blues were dispelled by the Hasta La Vista dance, sponsored by Spanish students. Emily Post would have been proud of students of Miss Theo Parr ' s health class and Mrs. Pauline Stark ' s social living class, who practiced proper etiquette at smorgasbord dinners. They were no t keys to the city, but gold keys won by Manual students who placed in the Indiana Region- al Scholastic Art Awards Contest meant much to the 13 proud student artists. To the delight of all Manualites Santa Claus paid them a visit during the Christmas auditorium program. A Human Christmas Tree, formed by members of the Girls Glee Club, highlighted the program, while Joan and Lou Ellen Crow, Roberta Cain, and members of the Ensemble performed spe- cialty acts.
