Seniors Take Turn During Education Week Many Manual Seniors took the places of ad- ministrators and teachers on Turn-About Day during National Education Week in Novem- ber. These students spent the entire day with their counterparts and were briefed about the various duties connected with these positions. Some students taught classes and others filled office jobs or acted as department heads or directors. They had lunch in the Teachers ' Nook of the cafeteria and were entertained at a punch party in the Social Practice Room at the close of school by the P-TA. Mrs. Frances Stewart and Nancy Ferguson are served by P-TA President, Mrs. R. E. Royer. BELOW: Teachers entertain their student counterparts at lunch.

At the Armed Forces Day Parade, Keith Davis, Jerry Fox, John Aldrich, and Dennis Drinkwine, stand at ease. Everyone loves parades; and when our ROTC Battle Croup participates, many Manualites are on the sidelines. Such an occasion was last November 1 1 at the Veterans Day Parade. Besides being in parades, members serve the school regularly as messengers, ushers, door- men, and guards for activities like home bas- ketball games, Redskin Revue, Open House, and other school-sponsored functions. On Thursday and Friday, the cadets dress in full uniform. On Friday, they stand inspection with one of the six honorary cadets officiating. The honorary cadets are girls chosen by the ROTC from Senior candidates. Many cadets partici- pate in the activities of the Rifle Team, Drill Team, and ROTC History Club. At the ROTC ' s annual Military Ball, a Queen of the Ball is chosen from the six sponsors and eight girls from the school at large.
