Week-end dances highlighted the social life of many Manual ites. Dances gave the students a chance to release the strain of a hard week of schoolwork, become better acquainted, and have a good time. Top-named bands were special attractions of the Roines Romps. This year the Roines presented The Boys Next Door ' and The Idle Few. The Masomas sponsored a semi-formal, turnabout dance in January, The Winter World of Love. At the Pic Parade, an Ivian dance, underclass pictures were distributed and exchanged. Every tic- ket to this dance was a vote for King Ivan and Queen Ann. Candidates were chosen in Senior Home Room. Mike Crafton and Jana O ' Donald were named royalty at the dance by vote of all attending. The ROTC cadets and sponsors looked forward to their annual Military Ball. This year ' s dance was on March 7 in Manual ' s cafeteria. Becky Benjamin was voted Military Ball Queen by the Cadets.

Redskin Band Plays for President Nixon O) If Hail to the Chief! is played by a group of Indianapolis high school bands, including Manual ' s, as President and Mrs. Rich- ard Nixon descend from Air Force I at Weir Cook Airport. The visit of President Richard M. Nixon added a spark of excitement to the everyday life of In- dianapolis and Manual in February. The Redskin Marching Band had the honor and privilege of join- ing six other Indianapolis high school hands to per- form for the President at the airport. While waiting for the President ' s arrival, the various bands presented a concert for the crowd. For Manual ' s part in the entertainment, the Red- skins played, among other numbers, Hello Dolly, Step to the Rear, and March America. The weather made the wait seem endless; it was rainy and chilly, but faces shone with anticipation. President Nixon was accompanied by his wife and eight Cabinet members. The combined bands played the traditional Hail to the Chief as the President stepped off the plane. The president spoke briefly to the crowd. While he and Cabinet mem- bers met with Mayor Richard G. Lugar and may- ors from nine other cities of comparable size to discuss urban problems, Mrs. Nixon was taken on a tour of such places as Christamore Settlement House and Noble School for Retarded Children. Since the buses returned so late with the band, the cafeteria was already closed. The hungry bands- men were dismissed for the rest of the day. Drum major Mike Christie and Band Director William D. Kleyla get the band members ready to salute the President in their part of the wel- coming ceremony. It was a drab and chilly day, but the thrill and excite- ment warmed everyone. I I
