Turnabout Day, Visiting Spark Education Week The Theme America Has a Good Thing Going — Its Schools guided the plans of American Educa- tion Week, November 10-16- Mr. Wayne Dunbar, chairman of the AEW committee at Manual, com- mented that Open House would provide parents and other interested persons an opportunity to see what Manual offers to its students. To aid teachers and the administrative staff at Open House, Ma- soma, Roines, and Student Affairs Board members handed out directories to visitors, so they could find their way around and locate teachers they wished to see. The play Green Blackboard was presented in the auditorium by members of National Thespians and Mask and Wig prior to the visiting period and was well attended by visitors. Students were given the chance to put on teach- ers ' shoes on Turnabout Day. Miss Ann Manning, chairman, organized this day of activities, for stu- dents and teachers during which top seniors be- came administrators and classroom teachers. The day ended with a tea and social hour in the Home Economics Department for all participants. The two dramatic groups also presented the play Cathy ' s Choice in an Education Week student aud to emphasize the importance of education. Turnabout 1 Principal Mark Janke works under the watchful eye of Principal Wayne H. Kincaid with whom he spent the day. Don White, Nita Horn, Marge Boyd, and Merrie Herbig played roles in Cathy ' s Choice, for a student aud.

Clever Parents Conjure Up New Money-makers Mrs. William Larrimore buys popcorn from Mr. Roy Kivett, a Dads Club concession stand salesman, at a basketball game. Dads did a hot business to add to their coffers. Making plans for activities for the Pow Wow are Mrs. Don Boyd; Mrs. Mary Haas, Director of Activities; Mrs. David Stace, P-TA president; and Mrs. Paul Hackleman, Pow Wow chairman. Redskin parents, members of the Parent-Teacher Association and Dads (Huh, worked tirelessly this year, as always, to provide money for extras for us Manualites. For example, they helped pay for Redskins attending conventions, workshops, insti- tutes, and summer camp sessions. These parent groups added to their coffers as well as appeased hungry appetites by their usual concession-stand activities at both the football field and in the gym. Sandwiches, hot and cold drinks, and ice creams keep football fans happy. Popcorn, ice cream, and candies comprised the menu at basketball games. Dads sold their wares from their booth in an east-end entrance to the gym and through traveling vendors in the stands. Dads ' new money-maker was a White Elephant Sale that proved so successful, being both fun and lucrative, it will probably become an annual event. A big night for all Redskins was April 18 when the P-TA Pow Wow, involving parents, teachers, and students, provided fun galore. Starting with the dinner hour in the cafeteria it ran through an even- ing of merchandise and game booths in the gym, a talent show in the auditorium, and a popularity contest. The Pow Wow closed with a dance. Every- one found entertainment to his taste, and the P-TA ' s cash register rang a merry tune. Mr. Dick Kivett, ' 57 grad and auctioneer for the Dads Club ' s White Elephant sale, makes a deal with Vice-President E. Franklin Fisher, who was an enthusiastic customer. 10

Opportunity Day Yields Suggestions Galore Mr. Robert Dunn, Director of Counseling, talks to Senior Joe Tutterrow. Every Manual student is assigned a counselor. To project the thinking of Manualites to their future vocations, Opportunity Day has become an annual tradition. Set up by the counseling staff, headed by Mr. Robert Dunn, numerous visitors from colleges, businesses, and industries visit the school to brief students on their particular fields. An awareness of Opportunity Day and its goals is created for Manualites through an auditorium program early in the second semester. Dr. Wesley Haines, president of Franklin College, spoke at this year ' s session on February 20. Through Home Rooms everyone made several choices of sessions he preferred to attend. All stu- dents were then assigned one of their choices. Speakers invited are experts because of educa- tional background and experience and their con- tacts with others in their respective fields. During high school, Manualites participate in four Opportunity Days and may attend a different type session each year. This provides them with real knowledge of several vocations- Some 50 group meetings were listed on the preference sheets. Visitors attended a coffee hour in the library when they first arrived and were briefed on the day ' s activities. Many stayed on after the program and lunched with the faculty in the cafeteria. Nancy Holloway, Advanced Foods student, serves guest speakers Mrs. Molly Ward, Wm. H. Block Com- pany, and Mr. Jack Schwarzer, the U. S. Bureau of Apprentice Training at the informal coffee hour in the library before the Opportunity Day sessions with students began. 12
