ROTC Cadets Serve, Parade For Manual Our ROTC grew so much this year that by second semester we were entitled to a full colonel as cadet commander. All cadets are in uniform on Thurs- day and Friday, and the six Honorary Cadets ro- tate the Friday duty of personal inspection of all soldiers. Uniformed cadets are on duty at all evening events at Manual, serving as guards, guides, and messengers. Our rifle team proved to be real sharpshooters, winning second place in city com- petition. Other special ROTC groups are the His- tory Club and the Drill Team. High spot of the year was the annual Military Ball on March 13. From a field of 14 candidates, a Queen of the Ball was chosen — Joan Scholl. Cadet Lt. Col. Gerald Peats and Honorary Lt. Col. June Kistler greet Gen. Theodore S. Riggs, who visited Manual in October on a routine inspection tour. Pfc. Phillip Bell, Generals Aide, marches with the Colo- nels in the Veteran ' s Day Parade. ROTC ' s from all city high schools participated in the colorful event.

Variety to Our Education Interspersed throughout the year are auditorium programs of a cultural, educational, and entertain- ing nature. Because there are so many of us, the auds must be divided into two sessions, which come just before and after home-room period. Our aud programs kicked off with the annual Ivian show, featuring an ' Tve-Got-A-Secret skit with a panel of experts and guests. Students discovered in the next aud that Manual is teeming with talent. Manualites danced, sang, tumbled, and joked to the delight of the audience in the Teepee Talent Parade. Other programs included a concert by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, two science shows demonstrating the latest techniques in the field of science, and the all-school Christmas pro- gram by the Music Department. When we get to- gether for a pep session, everyone goes to the gym for one program as we did for the big Sectional send-off. A Senior Anne Norcross told us of her visit to the U.N. as a member of the team from Indianapolis schools. VJ! ' I Linda Fritche, Steve Wright, Sandy White, Georgann Coldren, Merrilyn Lindley, Pat Stacy, and John Stafford broadcast a P. A. skit for Home Rooms. Conductor Izler Solomon and the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra presented an hour-long concert for us.

Senior Home Room takes on a party air on Senior Day because seniors are dressed up for the occasion, each wearing an Arm Band in senior colors Red and White. Seniors Strut, Portray Faculty on ' Big Days Felt arm bands, bearing a silk-screened design in class colors, have for 50 years been senior insignia on the traditional Senior Day. Designed this year by Vaughn Hickman, those for the class of ' 59 were Red and White. This is always a dress-up day for seniors. Class officers were installed during Home Room; and a fun session in the Cafeteria, including dancing and floor show by talented members of the class, climaxed the big day. During National Education Week, our second Student-Teacher Turn-About Day found selected seniors filling the roles of administrators, teachers, and other staff workers. Each student spent the day with his counterpart for a briefing on the duties of the job. The day ended with a Punch Party in the Alumni Room to which faculty members brought their aides. This annual project gives seniors a view of teaching from the other side of the desk. Vasco Walton, Ronnie Susemichel, Larry Henn, and Bob Duncan make up a quartet for Senior Day entertainment. Turn-About-Day Principal Keith Nave discusses a mu- tual problem with Principal C. Edgar Stahl. Vice-prin- cipal Bill Hair and Dean Linda Fritsche are kibitzers. )
