page 2 Preface Another textbook, oh no! Relax, this one is different. It ' s all about a really great subject, us. You won ' t have a single drop of homework assigned in this textbook. You won ' t have any finals in it, maybe a test or two, but no finals. This is one textbook you can write in, doodle in, whatever. Who knows, it may be the only textbook you ever finish. The first step in preparing this text was finding a title. How to get from the pit (Study Hall 53), all the way to Room 317, in five minutes while squeezing your way through a mass of 2,379 other Redskins was appropriate, but wordy. The second idea, Why not to drop your tray on chili day while walking directly behind the prin- cipal who is clad in his new three-piece white suit, was also too lengthy. But be- cause the subject was Manual, and Manual is its people, us, we chose Understand- ing Us as the title for this textbook. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division combine to form the subject called math. Likewise our subject, Manual, is the combination of Redskin activities, classes, concerns, and involvements. We therefore divided this book into specific chapters, each a part of Manual. Take your time, read at your leisure. Manual is worth writing about; it ' s worth reading about. We are unique. We ' re important. We ' re alive. This text attempts to capture the uniqueness which is Manual, explaining it to you, showing it to you, and helping you understand us. We wish to acknowledge the hard work and creativity of our special editors: Alan Blazek, sports editor; Elizabeth Krueger, senior editor; Sam Prindle, ad manager; Dale and Dallas Richardson, art editors; and Susie Crooks, index editor. We also wish to thank the staff at the Indiana High School Journalism Institute and Mr. Larry Glaze, our yearbook representative, for helping us make our ideas into practical reality. Thanks to Mr. Larry Morwick, publications advisor, who always came through with pictures at deadline time. And a sincere thanks to our yearbook advisor Mrs. Toni Hammer without whose help we never could have made it. Most of all, a special thanks to our friend Will. 1980 Ivian Co-Editors, fy Vyck MJTQ SO

page 4 Local Local happenings involve Redskins Changes, renovation, renewal and im- portant events characterized Southside Indianapolis in 1980. These affected many Manualites ' lives. Redskins could go to Garfield Park for tennis on the new courts, see a show at the amphitheater from new seats, or just enjoy the beauty of the renovated sun- ken gardens. They could also pitch horseshoes at the new championship caliber horseshoe courts or go swim- ming in the remodeled pool. Over $412,000 was spent on renovat- ing the Garfield park amphitheater, horse- shoe courts, and tennis courts. Another $522,000 was spent to remodel the pool. A project which was begun in 1976 and completed in 1979 was the restora- tion of the sunken gardens and the po- goda to how they were during Civil War times. This project was accomplished in two phases with an overall cost of $215,000. Indianapolis Clay Courts were com- pleted in 1979 and provided another source of entertainment for Redskins. They could use the courts for $3.00 an hour or watch tournaments there be- tween professional tennis players. The beginning of the 1980 school year was plagued by the IEA teachers strike which lasted four and a half weeks until the dispute went into binding arbitration. Regular Manual schedules and activities didn ' t start until October 3. Some events like Homecoming and underclass pic- ture day were rescheduled. November of 1979 saw Indianapolis voters re-elect Mayor William Hudnut over Southside challenger Paul Cantwell. For many senior Redskins, this local election was their first opportunity to participate in an election. The spring of 1980, of course, brought the 500 Race and its accompanying fes- tivities. Many Manualites worked the concession stands again this year. University Park in downtown Indianapolis is a sce- nic spot available for the looking pleasure of the public. This fountain is one of many located in the reno- vated sunken gardens at Garfield Park. The Federal Building located in downtown In- dianapolis is the hub of federal activity in Indiana. hi.,- • s,m f j SflkJf!
