Manual Receives ' Freedoms Foundation ' Award Another honor came Manual ' s way from the Freedoms Foundation — an exclusive honor given to only 50 schools in the United States. A Prin- cipal School Award, which gives a Valley Forge pilgrimage to a teacher and pupil, and a George Washington Honor Medal to the school, was won by Mrs. Edna Gullett, Head of the Social Studies Department. The entry was a large scrap- book with divisions on Individual Enterprise, Business Enterprise, and This Is Your Life, John Q. Public, three projects conducted in Problems classes last year, and also included photographs and tape recordings. Mike Stead- ham, selected on the basis of a social studies test, scholarship, and League of Honor points, accom- panied Mrs. Gullett to Valley Forge, May 3-5. This is Manual ' s second Honor Medal, The Ivian having won one in 1956. Mike Steadham and Mrs. Edna Gullett admire the George Washington Honor Medal, part of the Principal School Award. Students bring honor to Manual by participat- ing in — and often winning — outside, school-ap- proved activities. Among 1958 winners are Teddy Winckelbach, who won the district elimi- nation of the American Legion Oratorical Con- test. Rosalie Swain won honorable mention for her essay, Vaccine Against Prejudice, in the B ' nai B ' rith contest, and Judy Neale won second place in the city VFW-sponsored America ' s Fu- ture Is Up To Youth essay contest. Participat- ing in the state achievement finals were Allen Schlamp, Margaret Hughes, Karin Dornfeld. Anne Norcross, Charlotte MacMurray, Bill Davis, and Bob Sargeant in Spanish, and Alan Hedegard in mathematics. Teddy Winckelbach delivers her address on the Constitution to a social studies class. 23

Judges considered disci- pline, on the field and in the stands; playing — tone, pitch, school song; marching; special ma- neuvers; entertainment value, and general ap- pearance in making their decision. Band officers proudly exhibit their four Kiwanis trophies. They are Captain Dave Brink, seated, Elaine Schultz, Willis Overton, Judy Ferguson, Jim Crose, Don Hoffmann and Judy Schrader. Marching formations were planned in advance on a football field lay-out sheet like the one on the table. Many hours were spent in perfecting the difficult maneuvers.
