Varied program prepares students With a wide variety of courses; Man- ual ' s English department offers one of the premier curricula in the city. Selected juniors have the privilege of taking Histlish. This course is a com- bination of English V and English VI and U.S. History I and II. Mrs. Marilyn Dever makes the class exciting as the students partake in special projects such as com- piling Manual Manuscripts and writing the ever popular term paper. Humanities, taught by Mr. Fred Ben- nett, gives seniors an insight to govern- mental, historical, literary and philosoph- ical aspects of Western Civilization. Prefixes and suffixes are studies in Manual ' s Etymology course taught by Miss Carolyn Griffin. Public Speaking combines Radio, Speech and Dramatics. Mr. Carl Wright helps students to de- velop their speaking abilities in this course. The special courses augmented the usual English courses, which were com- plete with grammar, creative writing, and literature. Varied and relevant curricula are the strength of the English Department. ABOVE LEFT-Mrs. Marilyn McCloud and Junior Tim Smith laugh about an item in the English 6 text.

Business curriculum includes jobs Manual ' s business department offers a variety of courses. It offers everything from typing and shorthand to business law and salesmanship. Not only does it offer these basic business courses, it also offers two programs which are reim- bursed federally. Both programs include attending classes in the morning and go- ing to a local organization in the after- noon for on-the-job training. Distributive Education, commonly known as DE, is a program for senior students who do not plan on attending college. Prerequisite courses for DE are Merchandising and Sales. In this particu- lar work program, the student earns two credits per semester, one for the class work and one for the job. However, the stud ent earns a salary which usually starts at the minimum wage, $2.30 per hour. Students were employed at a vari- ety of places such as Ayres, Block ' s and advertising agencies. Some work as cashiers or inventory operators. Cooperative Education, COE, is much like DE. It gives the student an opportu- nity to practice what they learn in class. COE prepares the student for going straight into a job from high school. DECA 19
