Art Students Compete Elective classes were taken by every student this year. The Art Department offered car- tooning, craft design, ceramics, and basic art. These classes allowed stu- dents to express their individ- uality. In Mrs. Terry Clark ' s ceramics class, students got hands-on training with clay by making cylinders, masks, and other interesting pieces. In Mr. Robert Crawford ' s cartooning class, students learned the art of drawing satire. In a more relaxed atmo- sphere, students had the oppor- tunity to develop their artistic talents and receive recognition for their efforts. Under the di- rection of Mrs. Kay Clay, new head of the department, stu- dents were encouraged to enter their work in several competi- tions. Two students ' pieces were reproduced in the I.P.S. Info, a system-wide newsletter. A number of students submitted entries in the Indiana Scholas- tic Art Competition, sponsored jointly by L.S. Ayres and the Indianapolis Star. Working on an assignment using ce- ramic slab construction are William Brickley. junior, and Jerry Luna, sopho- more. Using pastels, sophomore Mike Miller puts the finishing touches on his project. 28 Art

Academic Opportunities The English department un- der the leadership of Mrs. Toni Hammer, department head, of- fered students eight semesters of required English, Histlish, Humanities, and speech. The Humanities and Histlish classes took several field trips. They saw a performance of the award-winning play Inherit the Wind. the Humanities class spent one Saturday tour- ing many attractions in Chica- go. The new I-STEP testing pro- gram brought special tutor Shelly Bradford to Manual to work with freshmen who need- ed remedial work to pass the competency test. Mr. Dwight Shaw came from Arlington to be the new head of the Social Studies department. For the first time the DAR Good Citizen Award was deter- mined after a round of competi- tive speeches by candidates Robert Hestand, Tina Hafer, and Julie Gilvin. Robert Hes- tand was declared the winner based on a vote of fellow sen- iors. One highlight of the year was the burial of a time capsule by the Histlish class. Histlish, a class for juniors, is a combina- tion of the two required classes — English and U.S. History. Three foreign languages were taught at Manual — Spanish, French, and German. Mr. David Phillips was head of that department. Students studied both the language and the culture of the country. A special language lab gave stu- dents a chance to perfect their communication skills by using special earphones. The academic classes in these three departments provided both a basic education and en- richment opportunities for stu- dents. Using earphones in the language lab, junior Amy Striggo listens to improve her mastery of French.
