But there were other things about our school that the North Central Association couldn ' t so easily put on paper, nor the rest of the community see — namely that Redskin spirit which sent us cheering to the Sectional, which lit up the stage with sparkling shows, which spent itself in dedicated school service, and most important, sent us in pursuit of the full education of Mind, Hand, and Heart offered us here every day of the year. ' resents A Special ' Inside Story ' We pledge allegiance at an assembly as ROTC Color Guard Steve Shelton salutes. While football fever mounted to a high pitch, we ate lunch in a cafeteria sur- rounded by a Victory Train that carried good-luck messages to our team. Service and study go hand in hand as pupils, like Jacky Jung, serve as hall monitors.

?•: Though we may be strangers to each other in the halls, we become friends at a Manual game. There ' s something special about going out to cheer the team that draws us all very close. Our Familiar Manual Work The quiet dedication of a teacher like Miss Helen Reed often sparks a matching spirit of learning. A leisurely walk across campus in good weather or a mad dash during a winter snow provides a welcome bit of exercise after an intense class session or test.

Royalty Sandi, Bob Reign at Homecoming King Manual XIII, Bob Percifield, and his Queen, Sandi Smith, reigned over the 13th annual Home- coming, which proved lucky for both the Redskin team and spectators October 1. A tense 26-25 vic- tory over Shortridge and the sparkling half time pageant made it another night to remember es- pecially for returning Manual grads, who helped to make up the crowd of some 6,000 fans who jammed the grandstands. Halftime ceremonies, highlighted by the crown- ing of the 1966 Homecoming royalty, began with another Redskin Marching Band spectacular, includ- ing the forming of the traditional block M. The parade of convertibles brought candidates to the spotlighted 50-yard line where Principal Edgar Stahl announced the royal couple. Connie Goss, Joyce Johnson, Jan Canity, Debbie Allanson, Richard Brown, Gibby Elrod, Marlowe Mullen, and John Stainbrook made up their court. Girl of My Dreams, and Queen of Manual High filled the air as the Band, Glee Club, and Choir Director Wendell Mertz joined in a tribute to the 1966 Queen and her court. Homecoming King Bob Percifield and Queen Sandi Smith lead the parade around the track after receiving their crowns from last year ' s royal couple (below) Diane Eickhoff and Mike Mager. Stepping out for the half-time cere- monies, the Marching Redskins get in formation, ready to perform for the crowd of Homecoming fans.
