Redskins came for miles around to the annual Spring Pow Wow to eat supper, play games and dance, see a show, elect a Chief and Princess, and buy practically anything. Our Band ' s nifty new duds might still be a wish- ful thought were it not for the active P-TA and Dads Club. After voting to underwrite part of the cost of the uniforms, these groups set to work, like all Moms and Dads, and produced the necessary money with projects like the Pow Wow and Bean Supper. Barbara Acton and Tom Burk were the Dads ' Dotty and Dan at the Bean Supper. The Marching Band, resplendent in blue trousers, red coats, black-vi c ored hat ; , and white citation cords and plumes, form a welcoming aisle for football team. A refrain of On, Manual and a rapid-fire cadence take them off the field.

Kiwanis Club Cites ' Best Football Band ' Snappy Drills Win Musicians ' Third Trophy; Moms and Dads Underwrite Nifty New Uniforms Band majorettes made pretty hoboes last Fall in make-shift bandana outfits. These tramps are Joann Dryer, feature twirler, Jewel Vaughn, Carol Kemp, Judy Ferguson, Nancy Brandlein, Tina Hughett, and Lois Strong, drum major. A top headliner all year, Manual ' s 85 -piece Band caused Redskins to beam with pride. Band mem- bers offset late-arriving new uniforms last Fall by donning jeans and bandanas in tramp fash- ion. They initiated their stunning new red and blue outfits in a Homecoming spectacular that convinced many a grad he was born too soon. In November the Downtown Kiwanis Club chose ours as the Outstanding Football Band for the third straight year. They play as well as they march, too, and won a first division medal at the State Music Contest in April. A representative of the Downtown Kiwanis Club cited Manual ' s best at the send-off basketball Pep Session, November 30. Mr. George H. Pattison presented the trophy for Outstanding Football Band to Band Captain Bill Henninger, Drum Major Lois Strong, and Mr. William Kleyla, director. Members of the virsity cheerleading squad accepted the trophy for Outstanding School Spirit which praised the football Pep Club and cheerleading.

' School Spirit ' Wins Second Year Pep Club Adds Color with Flag Drill Though school spirit is sort of a how topic that rarely gets a headline, one of the Booster ' s top stories last Fall told of the second consecutive Kiwanis award given to Manual ' s grid season cheerleaders and Pep Club. To win the trophy cheerleaders taught new yells and routines to Pep Clubbers, who were faithful fans in white shirts and red ties. Some girls wore shorts, even at the coldest games, to march with the Band in a colorful flag drill. Football weather can be mighty cold; but Manual ' s Pep Club, no coats over their white sweatshirts, kept things hot with a rhythmic stamping of feet, frequent clapping of hands, periodic jumping from seats, and almost constant exercise of lungs and vocal cords. r S M Ai£
