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. )

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.

56 Speakers Make Opportunity Knock Men and women from Indiana Businesses, In- dustries, Colleges, and Universities were present at Manual ' s Opportunity Day on January 14. This is an annual career day for all students to help us choose our colleges and vocations. Careful plans were made for this day by the teachers and guests. It gives us the opportunity to investigate businesses and schools for our future plans. Many clubs of Indianapolis furnished the speakers. Some of the Clubs were Rotary, Lions, Kiwanis, Optimist, Business and Professional Women, Altrusa, and Soroptimist Service Clubs. The business personnel gave talks on such topics as the nature of the work, job development and opportunities, advantages and disadvantages. During the afternoon, the guests were served a luncheon by Boys Foods Classes and were taken on tours of the building and campus. Opportunity Day is a day which students at Manual look forward to each year. Speakers, attending a coffee hour, were served by a Girls Foods Class. Below, Don Talent and Jerry Yates, Boys Foods, serve lunch to guests in the Cafeteria. Mr. Victor McDowell and students Don Radish and Allen Ross accept an automatic steering unit from Mr. Ralph Cochran, Ford Motor Company, on Opportunity Day.
