P-TA Supports Redskins With Heap Big Money Parents became involved in school activities this year through Manual ' s Parent-Teacher Associa- tion and Dads Club. These organiza- tions contributed time, talents, and money to help Manual be a better school. Football games just wouldn ' t have been as fun without the refresh- ment stands which sold snacks to help keep fans warm and filled with energy food. Dads Club members also contri- buted to basketball fun with its re- freshment stands. Dads passed out programs that aided fans in identi- fying players. The P-TA has many projects it sup- ports every year. The Annual Scho- larship Fund aided several college- bound Manual students. P-TA funds also helped students participating in various summer institutes such as journalism and student council. Fun and fund raising are the ideas behind the annual Pow Wow spon- sored by the P-TA. Student groups cooperated with booths for this an- nual spring event.

Homecoming Crowd Leaves Wet and Disappointed The steady rain pouring on Home- coming night left football players ' numbers indistinguishable, candi- dates dripping wet, and Homecom- ing mums in pieces. But the fans — many of them alums — had un- dampened spirits until the fourth quarter when the Redskins lost a 20-6 lead over Roncalli. Homecoming was an uncertainty all week because of the teachers ' strike. But, by Thursday, Homecom- ing became a reality and everyone involved was able to rehearse. On Friday afternoon, though, the rain started and continued on through halftime. So as not to ruin their uniforms, the band marched over from school for the halftime crowning only. They performed part of their contest show, Salute to Irving Berlin, while candidates and escorts were presented. After Principal Howard Thrall crowned King Randy Johnson and Queen Jennie Andrews, Sophomore Tim Baker, accompanied by the band and Girls ' Glee Club, sang Queen of Manual High and Girl of My Dreams. Randy and Jennie, who were both freezing cold and soaking wet, sat on the Key Club float under a big umbrella for part of the re- mainder of the game.

North Central Association Rates Manual The North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools evaluated Manual this year. Prepara- tion for this began last spring, when teachers filled out self-evaluation forms and a committee of faculty updated the philosophy of the school. These reports were turned in to NCA. From November 7-10, a North Central team of eighteen educators from around the state visited Man- ual to make an eyewitness eval- uation of the school. The team ob- served classes in all departments on Wednesday to evaluate instruction. On Thursday, the team met with a cross section of students to dis- cuss Manual ' s strong and weak points and to ask for their ideas for improvements. On Friday, the visitors wrote their evaluation taking into consideration reports from teachers and their own observations and interviews. Later in the Year, Manual received a copy of the report and recommen- dations for improvement.
