MOSAIC SYMBOLIZES LIFE AT MANUAL Just inside the front entrance of Emmerich Manual Training High School embedded in the terazzo floor of the main hall is a large circular design. Composed of more than twenty colors of warm pastel hues, it is like a big welcome mat to the more than 1,600 students, the faculty and staff members, and the visitors who cross it each school day. The design itself is mosaic in composition, and its various parts symbolize the mosaic that makes up life at Manual. In the center is the torch of learning across an open book, symbolic of academic education. Around this central section, the circle is divided into eight segments each of which contains a design repre- senting a division of the school. Forming the outside border is an endless spray of Manual ' s traditional ivy. The 1955 Ivian is a mosaic, too — a composite picture of the school year. It pictures Manual ' s people and their school life — classes, activities, social events. The original drawing for the mosaic was made by Mr. Oran Davis, head of the Art Department. The mosaic itself was a gift to the school from the Midwestern Terazzo Company, the company which installed the floor.
