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

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

Enthusiastic Parents Plan Fun, Fund-Raisers Throughout the year our Manual parents support school projects by sponsoring money-making activi- ties. The profits from these come to us Manualites for such things as our bus, band uniforms, and par- tial scholarships to work shops and institutes. Our enthusiastic parents begin the year with a chili supper before the first home football game and throughout the season serve coffee, donuts, and other goodies at their well-known concession stands at the football field. Basketball season finds the Dads Club ' s refreshments moved to the gym. The annual Pow-Wow is the biggest, most success- ful of the P-TA ' s projects. Activities start at 5:30 P.M. with a fish fry served in the cafeteria. Booths are set up in the gym, and a Vaudeville Show is in the auditorium using Redskin Revue talent. rMRB Wf ' ffi ' f f .
