Ceremonies Honor Homecoming Royalty Varsity Cheerleaders Debbie Smith, Debbie Baker, and Sandy Rob- inson, followed by the rest of their squad, wave their pom- poms as they lead the team onto the field to start the game. Festivities for Manual ' s seventeenth Homecom- ing were staged during halftime of the Manual- Arlington game. The Redskin Marching Band came onto the field, forming an M as they played. The candidates arrived in open convertibles driven by lettermen and cir led the field on the track be- fore alighting to go to center field for the coro- nation. The girls wore colorful short formals, and ea( li carried a longstemmed white mum with a red M mounted on it and wit li red and white stream- ers. The boys had white carnations pinned to their lapels. Indian Papooses carried the crowns. Junior Tim Updike gave the sealed enevelope to Principal Wayne H. Kincaid, and after he announc- ed the new royalty, King Manual XVII, Mike Craf- ton, and his Queen, Vickie Steele, were crowned by last year ' s King and Queen, Don Norcross and Ruth- ie Smith. The Band played Miss America as Mike and Vicki walked down the traditional white carpet. Mr. Wendell Mertz, director of the choir, sang Queen of Manual High to that tune, and then sang Girl of My Dreams, accompanied by the Girls ' Glee Club. Many alumni returned for the game, and the fans wore mums in honor of Homecoming. The weather was pleasant, and the colorful festivities made it a thrilling evening. Opponent Arlington was uncoop- erative, however, as they downed the Redskins. Freshmen Football Players Joe Snyder and Ken Coulding roll out the white carpet for the Homecoming King and Queen candidates to travel to the center of the field for the coronation. Flanking the carpet are members of the Glee Club in red and white garb.

Better Education Your Job was the theme for American Education Week in November. Many Manualites and their families, including younger brothers and sisters, took advantage of the oppor- tunity of Open House, November 12, and visited with teachers. Guests looked in on classrooms to see where their particular teen-agers spend their days and viewed student work, bulletin boards, and class projects. Uniformed ROTC cadets served as doormen and offered assistance and directions. Members of the Student Affairs Board distributed directories locating teachers and departments. The Girls ' Glee Club and the National Thespians presented an auditorium program featuring Man- ual ' s seventy-five years. The girls sang numbers that corresponded to the historic events from the school ' s past narrated by the Thespians. Another event of AEW was Turnabout Day. Teachers invited seniors to act as their counter- parts for the day, and Turnabouts were teachers ' guests for lunch. All participating students and their sponsors were entertained at a P-TA Tea in the Home Economics practice room after school. The Art Department made large psychedelic let- ters which were mounted above the main stair- way, and artists filled the display cases in the en- trance with other colorful AEW advertising.
