We Hear ' Opportunity ' Knock on Special Day Manual ' s 12th annual Opportunity Day gave us Redskins a glimpse into the future as we gained in- formation about the career areas in which our inter- ests lie. College panels, which included students from Butler University and Indiana Central College, helped many get a personalized view of college prob- lems. In an auditorium program prior to the actual Opportunity Day activities, we heard Mr. Thomas Boardman, Editor of The Indianapolis Times, dis- cuss the steps to follow in choosing a career. Program choices for Opportunity Day were geared to student requests. Guest speakers from industry, business, training programs, and professions talked with pupils about careers ranging from engineering to X-ray technology. In addition to the different talks, three panels were offered. Sophomores and juniors were invited to hear Preparation for Ad- mission to College, while seniors looked ahead to Problems of Adjustment to College. Anyone in- terested in the various fields of nursing listened to a panel on Health Careers. Another added feature to this year ' s program was the breaking down of enwineerino- into five divisions: mechanical, civil, chemical, electrical, and architectual engineering. This change helped many focus on particular fields and to be more specific in thinking of college. Miss Martha Akers, supervisor of the student nursing program at I.U. Medical Center, heads a panel discussion on Health Careers. ' ' Students received information on nursing X-ray tech- nology, dental hygiene, and occupational therapy. College bound seniors get the facts from a panel discussion on the Prob- lems of Adjustment to College. Relating their personal experiences and answering questions from their audience are students from Indiana Central College. 19

ROTC ' Sounds Off In All- New Uniforms Manual ' s 1965 ROTC Rifle Team won the city championship! Manual upset favored Broad Ripple by a score of 2,289 to 2,180, to win the annual Indianapolis Small Bore Rifle Meet and a large trophy, breaking Broad Ripple ' s three year hold on the city title. All Redskin liters scored above the 200 mark and compiled a team average of 228.9. Sgt. Claude Shanks was coach for these sharpshooters. Clad in sharp new uniforms, army green with delf blue lapels, members of our ROTC Battalion began their year of activities by marching in the Veterans ' Day Parade. Cadets serve the school regularly as messengers, ushers, and doormen for activities like Redskin Revue and Open House, and for other school-sponsored functions. They also guard the playing floor at home basketball games. Each morn- ing the flag corps puts up the school flag, and this unit presents colors at auditorium programs. Every Thursday and Friday the cadets dress in full uniform. On Friday they stand inspection while one of six red-and-white-clad senior girls, honorary cadets, officiates. Chosen by vote of the ROTC, these girls rotate the duty of inspection. Cadets can further their special interest by par- ticipating in the Rifle Team, Drill Team, and ROTC History Club. The climax to a busy year comes in the spring at Federal Inspection, and our unit consistently wins Honor School ratings. The highlight of all the activities is the annual Military Ball for which a Queen is chosen. This year ' s queen was Sherrie Lopossa. The city championship Rifle Team in- cluded John Vibbert, John Weidner, Michael Yarber, Benny Patrick, Alfred Stahl, Larry Petrie, Charles Saunders, Larry Gardner, and David Wheeler. 18

Projects Fair Displays Year ' s Achievements At the close of each school year, students are given the opportunity to view the semester projects of their fellow classmates at the annual Student Projects Fair. Set up in the gymnasium, the Fair is open to all Manualites for one day during Periods 1-4. Later in the evening the gym is opened to parents to give them a chance to visit the many projects and exhibits. All academic departments enter outstanding work of students, who vie for first, second, and third place awards. Each department is responsible for seeing that its area work is judged. One of the highlights of the Fair is a style show produced by the Home Economics Department. Each piece of clothing is modeled by the maker, seamstresses from the various clothing classes. Manual Manuscripts, a booklet of Manualites ' writings, is displayed by the English Department along with winning materials from the department ' s contests. The Social Studies Department enters numerous charts, maps, and term reports. The Industrial Arts Department exhibited many projects from its various shops. Here Eric Williams, Mike McLaren, and Rick Foster examine a student-made hacksaw from Metal Shop. Fascinated by the colorful portraits displayed by the Art Depart- ment are Sally Martz and Tom Roberts. Also included in the display were ceramics, jewelry, and weaving. 20
