Industrial Shops Serve as Apprentice ' Stage 1 When Manual was founded in J 895, it was prin- cipally a high school for training industrial stu- dents. In later years more emphasis was placed on academic work until now Industrial Arts is just one of many departments and Manual is a fully rounded high school. However, the school still maintains one of the most efficient and up-to-date shop departments to be found anywhere. Shop courses are offered as electives to boys wanting manual training. Boys majoring in shop must take at least two years of mechanical drawing in addi- tion to their regular shop. During the first two years, they have courses in all phases of shop work; the last two they may specialize in a particular shop. Mechanical Drawing is offered for four years; Architectural Drawing is also given to those plan- ning to pursue an architectural occupation. Stu- dents in Print Shop learn to set type and proof- read. This shop does school printing, including office forms and novelty jobs as posters and tickets for various occasions. All boys start with Wood Shop where they gain experience using equipment new to them. Both Metal Shop and Machine Shop serve as good train- ing for boys who want to have apprenticeships once they graduate from high school. In beginning Elec- tric Shop, boys learn how to wire houses and cars and to use basic equipment. Later they repair radios, televisions, and other electrical appliances. Advanced classes do extensive work on electrical research, building radios, televisions, and oscillo- scopes. Auto Shop is only open to juniors and seniors. First year students take a survey course on how to care for cars, and they begin to work on engines. Advanced classes learn the standard and automatic transmissions by working on ones donated by auto- mobile companies. These boys set up an Auto Shop garage and do repair work on their own cars, as well as cars of willing faculty. Alan Hale feeds the press in the Print Shop as he prints up a set of nativity cards, an important job for the office. Wearing goggles to protect his eyes from flying bits of metal, John Weise works on a precision tool in the Machine Shop. Donning coveralls like a true mechanic, Darrell Dean seems at home under the hood of his car. He ' s a protege of Auto Shop.

Domestic Skills Set In ' Home Ec Labs ' Every girl looks forward to the future and the time when she will have her own home. Girls at Manual have a chance to learn the skills of homemaking in home economics classes. Foods, clothing, and social living courses prepare the students for the problems of making a house a home. In the classes the girls learn to make their own clothing and clothing for other members of their families. They learn to plan well-balanced, nutritious meals and to serve them attractively. Planning teas and parties, setting tables correctly, and practicing good grooming are among the things emphasized in Social Practice classes. The girls work in colorful labs equipped with the latest modern appliances. At luncheons and teas at Manual, the girls may be seen practicing their newly-acquired skills. All of the activities of the Home Economics Department give girls the experience and training that will aid them in their careers as homemakers. Glendora models a crisp formal made by Marilyn Walker in Mrs. Barbara Anderson ' s Senior Clothing class. This showcase is kept filled with teen styles made by the girls. Guests help themselves to coffee and donuts prior to participating in various sessions for Opportunity Day on January 13. Keeping the refreshment buffet stocked are girls from home economics classes. Also assisting during the same day were boys from foods classes who donned chef hats to serve a steaming luncheon to speakers in the cafeteria. 10

Grads Return for Seventh Homecoming Present and past Manualites celebrated the seventh annual Homecoming on September 25 at Delavan Smith Field with the Redskins host to Howe. In the pre-game ceremony. Principal C. Edgar Stahl rec- ognized the 25-year lettermen. The fact that Howe commanded a slight 14-7 lead at the half didn ' t dampen the enthusiasm of the capacity crowd dur- ing the gala halftime ceremonies. In the Block-M formed by Manual ' s Redskin Marching Band, Fea- ture Twirler Marilyn Burge performed with fire batons, and Indian Mascot Nicky Ferris did an authentic hoop dance with fire. Jerry Isaacs, ' 59 grad, returned to once again ride his Indian pony, Buck, with the band. All candidates paraded around the field in convertibles and freshmen foot- ball players, John Evans and Jim DeHoney, rolled the carpet onto the field.
