Fair, Spaghetti Supper Pile Up ' Wampum ' Tommy Sue Janke and Ronnie Curren try their luck at the fishpond at the Redskin Pow Wow. A small-fry visitor proudly displays loot he has won at booths. Each year our parents show their interest in our welfare by taking part in the activities of the P-TA and Dads Club. These two organizations work to- gether to sponsor money-making projects which will provide funds for various undertakings and school needs. The big money-making event for the P-TA comes once a year with the carnival-like spring festival. Called April in Paris last year, it has once again been given the name Pow Wow. Everyone at Manual is invited to bring his friends and parents to a supper in the cafeteria and afterwards to join in the merriment centered around games and booths in the gym. A vaudeville show is also pre- sented in the auditorium by students, in which Red- skin Revue stars often participate. The high point of the evening is the announcement of the new Chief and Princess, who have been voted the winners of the popularity contest. Students start campaigning for the contest several weeks before the big night and wait eagerly for the outcome. Linda Hansen and Martha Goode can ' t resist th e lovely flow ers, and Mrs. James Maschmeyer is quick to win them over. Pounding nails can be fun, if it ' s play and not work. Onlookers watch curiously as two boys demonstrate their prowess. 22

Above: Larry Hall wears his crown as King Football at the Pigskin Prom. Below: Janis Small and Paul Goss, named the royalty for the Pic Parade, pose as Queen Ann and King Ivan — titles derived from Ivian. All teen-agers like to dance and Manualites are no exception. Dances of all kinds are interspersed throughout the year from informal after-game dances to the climax of them all — the Senior Prom. This year ' s dancing season opened with the Pig- skin Prom, honoring the football team. At the Pic Parade underclassmen exchanged chums and King Ivan and Queen Ann were crowned. The new semester began with the Glee Club ' s tradi- tional Cherry Tree Hop where Martha and George reigned. The Military Ball, an annual formal affair for cadets and band members, was March 1 1 . After many home basketball games, fans gathered in the cafeteria for dancing, sponsored by the Student Affairs Board. The Juniors ' big dance was the Junior Prom, April 22, at Butler ' s Ather- ton Center. Ivians are always distributed at the John Henry Hop where autographing is the order of the day. And each Senior Class closes its years at Manual with a Prom. The Class of 1960 celebrates at the Medical Center. ' A Dancing We Go ' at Every Opportunity Don Shotts and Bonnie Spreen, crowned George and Martha at the annual Cherry Tree Hop, given by the Gir ' .s Glee Club, are seated on their thrones. They were elected from eight senior candidates, nominated by G!ee Club members. This semi-formal dance has become traditionally a turnabout evening for which girls invite boys and foot the bills.

Parents Purchase New Bus with Earnings The Dads Club is an equally active organization, backed by faculty men as well as Dads. Their annual fish fry in early September and their spa- ghetti supper in January were their two lucrative projects. Members and their wives are kept busy at football games in the concession stands, passing hundreds of delicious hot dogs and steaming cups of hot chocolate and coffee over the counter. They also provide hungry basketball fans with popcorn, ice cream, and candy. A spanking-new Redskin bus was the big project of the two organizations this year. The 60-passenger GMC, nicknamed Betsy, is often employed to transport athletic teams, the band, singing groups, and clubs to contests, programs, and meetings. Regular classes use it when taking field trips to business, industries, and colleges. Monies from the coffers of our two parent organi- zations also provide scholarships to summer insti- tutes for journalists, cheerleaders, scientists. Mr. Howard Thrall, Mr. Raymond Van Arsdale, and Mr. Leslie Maxwell sport chef ' s uniforms to dish up spaghetti at the big supper before the Manual-Tech game. Bus Driver Robert Sparks, also known as the Rinky-Dink Coach, and tackle Lanny Gerber engage in friendly chatter in front of the new Redskin bus while they wait for the rest of ihe team to take off to an away-from-home game.
