Ivian, Our Best Seller An Auditorium is presented at the beginning of each Fall semester to promote Ivian sales. This year it was a political campaign, with nominating speeches for the favorite candidate, The Ivian, and a roll call of delegates (Home Room agents ) . The annual Pic-Parade, a dance at which Underclass pictures are sold, is a money- making project to defray some of the yearbook ' s costs. Manualites elected John Keating and Barbara Haynes as King Ivan and Queen Ann at the Pic-Parade dance.

Manual Counsels Students to Plan Ahead One of the hardest things seniors must decide is what to do after graduation. On October 1 7 sen- iors met with their parents for a guidance session on choosing colleges and vocations. Underclass- men may get a head start on this choice on Opportunity Day, now an annual event. After hearing an Auditorium speaker urge planning for the future, representatives from various voca- tions and colleges visit Manual in January for counseling. Each student elects a group and at- tends a 40-minute discussion with that repre- sentative. Rose McCombs helps register parents at the Senior-Parent Conference while Don Williams tags a senior ' s dad. Redskins Hear ' Go to College ' Advice In the Library on Opportunity Day Manualites hear about the advantages of attending college from one of the university guidance and enlistment representatives. A question and answer period after the formal explanation helped students decide if this was the school for them.
