Enrich Our Curriculum o Lr. Bruce Pine, a researcher in the development of space apparel at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, addresses a chemistry class on the Physiology of Space Travel during his visit to chemistry and math classes at Manual en March 12. Auto Shop, a favorite course for boys owning their own cars, teaches the maintenance of the automobile, and pupils actually delve into the inners of cars. Machine Shop pupils prepare for jobs in industrial plants. Learning to use precision machinery has readied many pupils to be tool and die makers.

Basic 3R ' s, Plus Many Special Subjects, ce? The first week in June is Manual ' s Student Projects Fair. All departments display their products in one big show in the Gym, and everybody comes. Above is a boat lift made in the Industrial Arts Department. BJow, interested Manualites look over the yard parks designed by biology students. Learning in our five-year-old modern plant is fun. Just-like-new equipment and large, well-lighted classrooms do much to provide a pleasant atmos- phere. Competent teachers make learning easy and interesting. Our school day consists of eight, 40-minute pe- riods. Most students stay in school the full time, and, even then, it is impossible to take everything desired from the many varied subjects offered. College-bound pupils fill-up their schedules with Manual ' s special college preparatory courses, while pupils ending their education with high school graduation take advantage of this last for- mal training. Academic achievement is rewarded by many sen- iors ' winning scholarships to colleges. Faculty members encourage participation in outside con- tests and projects. During a geometry class, one of numerous mathematical courses offered at Manual, Bob Burton and Mr. Raymond Van Arsdale, instructor, discuss a proposition for the class.

Manual ' s sharp-looking ROTC cadets return from Federal In- spection, where they earned an Honor School rating. Cadets drill many hours for the event. ROTC Battalion Marches Through Year We Manualites are proud of our outstanding ROTC unit, and are well aware that some 200 boys are cadets when Thursday and Friday roll around. Those are uniform days, and our khaki- clad cadets add a martial flavor to the school. Each Friday, one of the six ROTC sponsors, in red jacket and white skirt, inspects the battalion. This gives the cadets reason for polishing their brass, and the boys covet inspection ribbons. During the annual Military Ball, cadet officers receive their commissions and the Queen of the Ball is crowned. On the left, Principal C. Edgar Stahl crowns Queen Sharon Wallace as Pat Brown, ' 57 and a former sponsor, looks on. Sharon later re- ceives congratulations from her court.
