Parents and Teachers N Pow Wow ' for Funds Enthusiastic parents and teachers join forces in P-TA and Dads Club earning money to provide such things as our school bus, band uniforms, and scholar- ships to institutes and work shops. They also give a grant to a senior to use for college. The biggest project completed by the Dads Club this year was the new concession stand at the foot- ball field. It was built durino the summer with much help from materials donners, student workmen, and even Mothers who got into the act. The P-TA gets the football season off with a bang each year sponsoring a family supper in the Cafe- teria. The annual Pow Wow in April is P-TA ' s big money-maker and fun-maker. Whole families come to make an evening of it. This begins with supper in the Cafeteria, followed by a show in the Audi- torium. The gayly decorated gym is filled with par- ent- and teacher-manned booths. Manual ' s school clubs also sponsor novelty projects. Bringing the ga- la evening to a close is the P-TA sponsored dance for the Manualites, back in the Cafeteria. At the new Dads Club and P-TA concession stand, Mr. John Mills, Mrs. Virgil Penniston, Mrs. Clint Switzer, and Mrs. John Carrity, (top) and Mr. Clint Switzer and Mrs. Bruce Richards, (bottom) serve hungry Redskins during a football halftime.
