cMalli Of 9wf And we will not forget is the vow, too, of the students of 1953 as they view the Manual landmarks long familiar to Southside residents: the sentinel tow- ers and the bridge across Merrill Street to the audi- torium. To the hallow ' d Halls of Ivy, every voice will bid farewell . . . For many years each senior class has planted an ivy vine close to the red brick walls of Manual. The ivy has become a symbol of growth — the growth of Manual as an institution and of her students as individuals. The meaning of the symbol was expressed by former Princi- pal E. Kemper McComb as the growth which can be controlled by the individual himself; growth in person- ality, growth in spirit, growth in love of reading, growth in love of music, growth in love of art — in short, growth in all the finer things of life that make for individual beauty and attractiveness, happiness and helpfulness. This year has been a time of growth for Manualites in a wide range of events here at 501 South Meridian Street as well as for the new, modern school on Pleasant Run Parkway at Madison Avenue. In this book are re- corded those events. — 3

Itcd Suiiaund 1 4, cM-ele ox atf, Up with the sun and down with the sun has guided Manualites inside the Halls of Ivy each day. Memories will linger within these halls where students, teachers, and alumni have found friendship and knowledge — shared joys and sorrows. Many Manual traditions will always be associated with the red brick building at 501 South Meridian Street. The wide front doors have always welcomed students and friends to the school. The main hall just inside these doors is lined with contest plaques, framed poems, and blueprints of the building. Here students have always gathered just before school, and teachers have congregated at the close of the day. Watching over the Manual Tribe for many years, the Grandfather clock in the main hall just outside the bookstore has kept its vigil. Although unnoticed in the everyday rush, the clock has faithfully ticked away the minutes in the Halls of Ivy. Shop students will remember the white brick hall leading to the shop and band rooms. Trophy cases have decorated the Halls of Ivy as Manual through the years has taken her share of athletic and academic honors and awards. Many Manualites have seen their work displayed in the second floor showcases . . . have stood and looked down the long, arched halls . . . have noted the designs made by sunlight shining through the patterned wrought iron of the stairways ... or wondered what mysteries were hidden in the towers above the spiral stairways rising from the third floor. — 5
