By participating in school assemblies, the Music Department entertains Manualites with vocal and instrumental music. One of its annual contribu- tions is the Christmas program during which the Choir and Glee Club blend their voices in tradi- tional hymns and Christmas carols. Members of these music groups are shown above in the Christmas processional, carrying candles through the darkened auditorium. Besides school functions, this department pre- sents programs throughout the community for the benefit of churches, hospitals, and various civic groups. When Manual ' s Band is on the move, Supply Officers Dan Brown and George Gritton are the muscles for mov- ing and the security for the instruments and sheet music. The organ prelude by Deloris Fox is a feature of most assemblies. Deloris, shown at the organ in the orchestra pit, is the official accompanist for the Choir.
