Busy Hands Create with Purpose After firing their pottery over night, Larry Stimson and Mike Vas Binder remove it from the kiln in Craft Class. Our Art Department offers many modes of self-expression to students with artistic talent. Shaping a bowl on the potter ' s wheel, sketch- ing still life, or dabbling in water colors are among the many opportunities for developing skill in art. In craft art cours es pupils work in plastics, leather, textiles, clay, and other media. Jewelry classes make cuff links, ear- rings, rings, bracelets, and other articles. The Art Production class, which originated in 1948 on a suggestion from Miss Gladys Denney who still teaches it, handles much of the art work for the school. In addition to the pro- duction of Senior Arm Bands, the class com- petes during the year in designing posters to advertise such programs as the Musical, Redskin Revue, and Senior Play. Shops ' Prepare Us for Jobs Manual ' s Industrial Arts Department has trained students for the industrial world since the beginning of the school in 1895. Starting with general shop, an industrial arts major can specialize in metal, machine, wood, cr auto shop, printing, mechanical drawing or electronics. Mr. Edward Maybury now heads the department. Sophomore Bill Wotring uses a gun to spray a coat of varnish on the wall bracket he made in Wood Shop. Using the pan-brake is one of the skills Sophomore Bob Simpson and Freshman Kenny Johnson learn in Shop. 17

Pupils Make Ready For Business Life Manual ' s Business Department provides the opportunity to develop talent in various busi- ness skills. Many of the students enrolled in these classes plan to go into business upon graduation, but others are preparing for col- lege note taking and typing of term papers. Typing is one of the first courses, usually taken in the sophomore year. These students receive instruction and practice in the use of the dictaphone. Business students also learn to operate other machines such as the multi- graph, ditto, and mimeograph machines. Ma- chine calculation and office training are ad- vanced courses. In office training, pupils learn to be efficient in secretarial work, and are given the opportunity to work in Manual ' s office. Practice is obtained by the class ' producing tests and forms for school use. A race for space sent pupils in two Typing III classes off and running for speed and accuracy. Lynne Sim- merman and Jo Anne Brown place their rockets. Learning while teaching, Miss Diane Hunt, student teacher from lnd ; ana University, aids Miss Phyllis Creve, of the Business Education Department, with whom she worked in instructing a typing class. 16

Phys Ed ' Promotes Good Health, Poise Although physical education is required for only one year, many students take it for four years. Classes for both girls and boys are in session every period throughout the day. Besides the class activities — calisthenics, apparatus, tumbling, and dancing — the girls also engage in intramural sports sponsored by Miss Theo Parr and Miss Elena Raglin. Intra- mural activities include basketball, volley ball, softball, archery, tennis, and badminton. In the spring, boys have an opportunity to participate .in the Decathlon Contest. Points are accumulated by mastering skills on the apparatus, in exercises, and in sports. Intra- mural sports, such as basketball and bowling, are sponsored by Mr. Gene Harvey. Demonstrating balancing skill, Linda Abrams, fourth year gym student, takes a walk on her hands. Helping to build strong bodies, Miss Theo Parr includes calisthenics in her class ' activities. 18
