Seniors ' Doll Up ' for Special Days Senior arm bands attract the attention of Senior Class voters, Dave Whitson, president; Jackie Hall, secretary; Ron Cooper; and Sandy Tucker, vice-president. Colorful dress-up days highlight our senior year. Wednesday, October 18, was Senior Day — the annual affair when the seniors showed off for underclassmen in the latest in suits and new fall dresses, complete with traditional arm bands and roses. Class offi- cers participated in the color code program during Home Room, and the class president was presented with the senior gavel at a busi- ness meeting in the Cafeteria, after school. Busy seniors ended the day with a party and a dance after the business meeting. Tables were turned on teachers, Tuesday, November 7, as seniors and other pupils took over as administrators, department heads, classroom teachers, and staff members for Turn-About Day. Student administrators- for-a-day stayed with their assigned teachers during the entire day, observing the daily routine and problems that have to be coped with. From 1 to 3 o ' clock in the afternoon the students and teachers participating were invited to a refreshment hour sponsored by the P-TA in the social practice room. Running a school for more than 2,000 students is a big job as Turn-About staff members find out. Principal Pat Nixon discusses one of her duties with Chief Administrator C. Edgar Stahl while Vice-principals Rex Hedegard and Jane Graham give her moral support. Steve Miller learns the cafeteria manager trade from Mrs. Edith Hoffman. 22

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 .
