Seniors ' Play the Roll ' Suits, high heels, and best dresses were the order of the day on October 2 1 as the largest Senior Class ever took part in traditional Senior Day. Seniors were marked with roses, armbands, and ribbons in class colors, red and white. During Home Room, class officers took part in the color code program, and in the auditorium after school Principal C. Edgar Stahl presented the senior gavel to Ed Zaenglein, president, to begin the first Senior Class meeting. A party in the cafeteria ended Senior Day activities. As part of the observance of American Education Week, seniors were selected to fill administrative and staff positions on November 10. This annual activity has been dubbed Turnabout Day and its purpose is to familiarize students with the school ' s operation and give them an understanding of all the jobs essential to the school. Each student learned as much about his position as he could dur- ing his day on the job. After school, teachers and their aides were treated to a punch party in the Social Practice Room by the P-TA. Cokes and pretzels coming up! Sue Hawley and Jan Small prepare refreshments for classmates on Senior Day, dur- ing the after-school party in the Cafeteria. Jan Small, principal for a day, gets the inside story on an administrator ' s many duties. Principal C. Edgar Stahl points out one of them — answering letters, and Jan gets a bit of practice in dictating to a secretary. Serving punch to Vice-Principal Noble Poole and his stand-in, Charles Mercer, is Carolyn Ibaugh, acting head of the Home Economics Department. Assisting at the tea, sponsored by the Manual P-TA, is Mrs. Orville West. 13

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. Last year ' s royalty, Ron Miller and Sonja Keating, crowned King Manual VII Bob Cooper and Queen Sue Hawley. Papoose crown-bearers were Chuck McLinn and Christine Mueller, smallest Freshmen boy and girl. The close- fought game ended with a Howe victory, 20-1 3. Ready to roll out the carpet for the 1959 Homecoming King and Queen are freshmen football players, John Evans and Jim DeHoney. Providing a motor escort for freshmen papooses, Christine Mueller and Chuck McLinn, are Steve Smith and Al Ratz. In the Homecoming spotlight are the new King and Queen, Bob Cooper and Sue Hawley, crowned during the half-time ceremonies by last year ' s King and Queen, Ron Miller and Sonja Keating. 9HB 5i 1 rm (|| -, I hH ■ Mm 1 liH mm ! m 1 PIP • W9W J . 11 W SB HHflHHM mfmW 12

Cadets may join the ROTC History Club in which they study the military history of the United States. Members read a required number of books from an approved list and attend monthly lectures. Others may be members of the Rifle Team or Drill Team. Thursdays and Fridays cadets are in uni- form, and on Fridays stand inspection by one of the six honorary cadets.

Edgar Stahl; Pat Brown, former ROTC Sponsor; Queen Tommy Sue; Laqueta Hines, also a former sponsor; and Captain Robert H. Hoisington, honor guest.
