Underclassman candidates gather around Dotty, Lorna Nelson, and Dan, Bill Oakes, elected at the Dads Club Bean Supper. Other class candidates for the titles were Bonnie Johnson, sophomore; Al Helms, sophomore; Eloise Query, freshman; and Mary Calvert, junior. We ctteG ixi In the JlalU ofi 9iMf . As a struggling little ivy vine makes its way toward the top of the wall, so does a freshman seek the top in his climb toward his goals in education. Oh, to be a senior and to graduate in June! says the underclass- man, while the senior silently rejoins, Oh, to begin again and go to the new school! With construction of the new Manual progressing each day, underclassmen dreamed of the future in a new school while seniors remembered their adventures in learning during these past four years. Inside the Tepee approximately 2,000 Manualites — seniors, juniors, sophomores, freshmen, and eighth graders — went their way each day. The new eighth graders, nicknamed junior papooses, joined the Tribe in September to become a school within a school. Participating in the many all-school activities is a good way to get acquainted, underclassmen found out, while seniors and juniors enjoyed their own class organiza- tions and projects. — 14 —

Seniosil ' fyootAiefil Zcltaed Time passes quickly when a senior plays the last act of his school production. The curtain falls before he realizes that the play is over and he is ready to start on a new role, but the memories stay with him through life. As graduation draws closer, each day is filled with excitement and regret, with the knowledge that life as a senior at Manual is nearly done. The long years of waiting for that once-in-a-Iifetime moment are cli- maxed when, clad in cap and gown, the senior receives the key to the adult world — his diploma. Senior sponsors this year are Mr. Kenneth M. Smartz, Mrs. Vivian Siener, Mrs. Coral Black, Mr. Otto Kuehrmann, Miss Helen Tipton, and Mr. Volncy Ward. Class officers are Charles Monroe, president ; Bill Oakes, vice-president ; Rosalyn Roembke, secre- tary; and Don Bower, Carl Hager, Jack Miller, and Margaret Steele, home room treasurers. Top scholars of the class are Rosalyn Roembke, valedictorian, and Kathleen Callon, salutatorian. The class gift is a bronze plaque, with the names of the architects, designers, and Board of School Com- missioners, which will be mounted at the entrance of the new building. The plaque will also read that it is a gift of the Class of ' 53. Senior activities included Ivy Day, College Day, and Class Day. You Can ' t Take It With You was selected for the ' 53 senior class play. Directing the production, Mr. Douglas Con- rod (left) was assisted by Dolores Tracy, student director. The play, a story of a rather eccentric family and its problems, was given May 16. Reading parts for the play took a bit of acting by (top right) Webster Brewer, Rosemary Van Jelgerhuis, Charles Monroe, Carole Dee Knapp, Robert Koepper, and Robert Lyon. At work behind the scenes are the members of the produc- tion committee. Barbara Lockhart, Kathleen Callon, Lillian Meister, Rosemary Van Jelgerhuis, Patricia Borror, Shirley Rouse, Tressie Howe, and Marilyn Andrews (lower right) talk over plans for the play with Dolores Tracy. m ■■-■ — 16
