Programs Employ Many Talents All-school assemblies include cultural, educational, and en- tertaining programs. The small pictures at the right are remini- scent of a variety of these — The Ivian ' s campaign skit; Basil Milovsaroff, a guest puppeteer; Pruth McFarland, concert tenor, and Dr. Frank Slutz, youth counselor from Dayton, Ohio, speaker on Student Council Recognition Day for an Indianapolis Student Council meeting. Student stage hands operate all stage equipment just as Bill Garnatz is shown waiting for his cue. We pledge allegiance . . . Cadet Lt.

Auditorium Serves School and Community The Auditorium, with its 1,162 maroon leather seats, is located in the south wing of the building. Completed in Spring 1954, it was used for the first time during the P-TA Fiesta. The 60 by 36 foot stage is equipped with a series of twelve curtains, including the deep-red act curtain. A professional control panel operated by a student stage crew provides illumination for both house and stage. Immediately in front of the stage is an orchestra pit large enough to accommodate Manual ' s dance band or concert orchestra when accompanying stu- dent productions. Located just west of the stage is a large stage- craft room in which a regular class builds sets and props and where stage accessories are stored. There are also four dressing rooms in this section. Spotlights which may be focused on the stars are operated from the projection booth above the rear of the Auditorium. Programs for which the Audit orium is used in- clude many civic functions as well as regular student assemblies and productions. On the opposite page Principal C. Edgar Stahl addresses a student assembly. ? T ■a 1 i|iM| MMiP§ . VJ m t ¥ ; . ' !i Z-- J liA ( fl «l ■ iMl -i ZT Mr. E. Edward Green, Director of Productions, sells tickets for an Audi- torium show.

Manual ' s $4,500,000 building and spacious campus are shown in this aerial view. The one blot on the landscape is the con- struction of the new Madison Avenue bridge over Pleasant Run. The bridge will be a part of the super-highway which will pass Manual ' s front door. It will be a good many months before this project is completed. This wooden footbridge is a temporary crossing over Pleasant Run for Manualites and their neighbors. Al- though not much to look at, it does provide a way to cross over the creek. Four curious Manualites become sidewalk superintendents, ob- serving construction work on the new bridge. Just behind them is the pile-driver which has made itself heard throughout the building.
