We Parade ' Talents at Spring Fair Teachers and students toured the gym on the morning of the Projects Fair examining department projects. Those of us who were lucky returned later in the day. Each year at the close of the spring sem- ester, examples of students ' work are display- ed at the annual Projects Fair. This show offers an opportunity for all departments to present their wares, whether they be creative writing from the classroom or creative proj- ects from laboratory, shop, or studio. All en- tries are judged; and first, second, and third place ribbons are awarded in every category. In this way competition among students is stimulated, encouraging them to produce their best work. Classes visit the Fair throughout the school day. A planned P-TA meeting brings parents and friends to see the exhibits that evening. Displays of the English Department include themes, poetry, term reports, notebooks, and projects made by foreign language students. Exhibits from the Art Department illustrate the work done in crafts and painting. Home Economics present samples of the handiwork of its seamstresses and cooks. Displays from the Industrial Arts and Science Departments give a picture of the activities students parti- cipate in, in their various fields. Looking at animal heads minus the flesh attracted Manualites to this science display of skull comparison. Bob Humes demonstrates his complicated-looking ham radio equipment by talking with a friend in Southport. 26

Dances Intersperse Weekly Routines Attending dances with fellow classmates is one of the most thrilling experiences of the year. This year began with the Pigskin Prom highlighting the football season. Underclass pictures were sold at the Pic Parade, and after game dances accented the basketball games. The Choir-sponsored Snow Whirl added color to the Christmas season, and Martha and George reigned at the Glee Club ' s Cherry Tree Hop. ROTC cadets squired their best girls to the Military Ball for an evening of fun. The Junior and Senior Proms proved to be exper- iences to be cherished for many years to come. The John Henry Hop at which The Ivian was issued was the last all-school dance. At- the Ivian-sponsored Pic Parade, Yearbook Editor Linda Abrams crowns King Ivan, Dave Whitson. Queen Ann, Sandy Tucker, reigned with him over the event. Among couples enjoying the Choir ' s Snow Whirl are Doug Coode, Karen Smith, )udy McBride, Bob Wire, Jerry Steadham, Marty Melton, Sally Davis, and Bob Surber. Leading the Snow Whirl ' s coronation dance is the royal couple, Ruthanne McClain and Ron Cooper. Queen Snowflake and King Jack Frost reigned for the first time this year. 25

Parents Cater to Hungry Sports Fans Moms and Dads are loyal Redskin fans and follow our activities from the first football game in September to Senior Vespers and Commencement in June. Parents who join the Parent-Teacher Association and Dads Club work together with aid to Manual as their goal. Many P-TA and Dads Club members get all wrapped up in the projects and events they sponsor to raise funds for the school. The P-TA ' s major money-making project of the year is the Pow Wow. Features of this annual family night at Manual, which was on April 28, this spring, include dinner in the Cafeteria, games and booths in the Gym, a vaudeville show and a record hop. Dads Club members maintain the concession stands at Delevan Smith Field during football season and cater to hungry basketball fans in the Gym. Other activities of the Dads include their annual Fish Fry and Spaghetti Supper. F unds raised benefit all students. Filling ' em up at cold Friday night football games is Mr. Willis Overton, Dads Club member. Concession stands are rushed for coffee and cocoa during half time. P-TA members, Mrs. R. Wayne Shives, Mrs. Paul Stroud, Mrs. John D. Taylor, and Mrs. Edward Bousum keep the popcorn popping for hungry Redskin football fans. Dads Club members, wearing white aprons and hats, walk around the gym during basketball games, keeping spectators happy with ice cream, popcorn, and candy. 27
