Principal Wayne H. Kincaid dictates while Senior Larry Morwick, his turnabout, takes notes on how to run the school. The two spent the day together doing just that. Mrs. Betty Hafer pours punch for Senior Nancy Elrod and her teacher sponsor, Mr. Robert Dunn, at the P-TA sponsored punch party in the Home Economics Department on Turnabout Day. Vice-Principal-for-a-Day Walter Jimison fills out the forms neces- sary for the arrival of a package while Mr. Franklin Fisher watches his counterpart approvingly. Education Week Plans American Education Week at Manual was high- lighted by Open House and Turnabout Day, which is a Manual feature of the education-oriented week. The week of November 5-11 was set aside for this national observance. Turnabout Day, November 7, gave many students the opportunity to find out what teaching is really like by stepping behind the teachers ' desks for a day. Senior Larry Morwick replaced Mr. Wayne Kin- caid as principal, and Walter Jimison took over the duties of Vice-principal Franklin Fisher. De- partment heads and directors also had turnabouts, as well as other classroom teachers who wanted them. All participants attended a P-TA sponsored social hour in the Home Ec dining room during the afternoon. Open House on the evening of November 8 began with the faculty-student production of Reach for the Stars, a one-act play written especially for American Education Week. Reach for the Stars was repeated the next day for the entire student body. After the play parents were invited to confer with teachers. ROTC cadets handed out directories indicating where teachers might be located. Maso- ma and Roines members were on hand throughout the evening to give directions and general aid. A new feature of Education Week this year was the visitation by teachers in other departments. Teachers, parents, and students all profited from the Education Week experience. The insight each student gained will enable him to recognize the importance of a good education.
