Our Battle Group Stars at Review Manual ' s ROTC Battle Croup was cited last spring at Federal Inspection with an honor rating, when the cadets passed in review before a visiting general. Manual was one of two city schools to be named an Honor School. Every Thursday and Friday nearly 300 boys dress in full uniform. On Friday they are inspected by one of six honorary cadets, girls chosen by the ROTC. In addition to marching in the Veterans Day and Armed Forces Day Parades, the cadets serve the school as mes- sengers, ushers, doormen, and guards at ball games, plays, and P-TA functions. Sharp- shooting cadets belong to the Rifle Team. Members of the ROTC History Club hear lectures about military great and major battles. Maj. Cen.

Band ' Marches ' to Seventh Kiwanis Cup For the seventh time in eight years, our tremendous Manual Redskin Band won the Kiwanis Trophy as the Outstanding High School Football Band in Indianapolis. During the football season, representatives from the Kiwanis Club, unannounced, attended games at all the city high schools to judge the performance of each band. The recipient of this award is announced at the annual Kiwanis All-City Football Awards Banquet. Preceded by the baton-twirling Warrior- ettes, our Manual Marchers displayed their skill in thrilling half-time shows at all football games, often with the aid of an Indian, his horse, and the flag girls. These Redskins practiced long and hard to prepare a different and exciting performance for each game. This year ' s band provided both entertain- ment and enthusiastic support throughout the year. Under the direction of Mr. William D. Kleyla and the leadership of Drum Major Dennis Eickhoff, versatility and quality have been key-words in performances. The March- ing Redskins have copped twenty-nine first- place awards in the past eight years. Following any of their flashy half-time performances, these Manual Redskin marchers return to their seats in the rhythmic cadence that characteristically identifies them on the marching field or in a parade. During one of their thrilling half-time shows at a football game, the Manual Redskin Marching Band struts its stuff in an intricate pattern of precision marching, part of the Home-coming spectacular. f mm am 40 ' t 9 T K ■A yr if % r... , -siAe. . fjm .
