The joy of student-life and of growing with our school can never be fully expressed. The growth has been slow and somewhat painful, yet it has been full of memories. Before we close the door on the glorious past of Man High School, let us turn and take one last look through the years then return to the present to close the door of our six-year school forever but take with us our memories. The first school building in Triadelphia District was built in 1880 on the present site of what is now known as the Old Build- ing. With the passing of the years the wood- en building deteriorated and a need for a new building arose. After much discussion the citizens of Accoville and Man decided upon the present site. A bond issue was floated in 1916. In the fall of 1917 the Tri- adelphia District High School was opened. The first principal, B. A. Barrington, serv- ed one year. The total enrollment which included both grade and high school was forty-four students. Upon the resignation of Mr. Barrington, Mr. Vance served in this capacity until 1920 when he was replaced by Mr. Kennedy. In the fall of 1921 Carter R. Bishop of Morgantown became principal and from that time forward our school gained state- wide attention with its modern equipment and methods of teaching. His faculty consisted of four members --C. R. Bishop, R. H. Twyman, M. G. Hick- erson, and Miss Nell Hock (Mrs. D. E. Hensley). While Mr. Bishop was principal, he founded the library, installed and equip- ed the home economics department, and composed the song which became our Alma Mater. A unique feature of the school was girl’s dormitory across the road. This dormitory with Mrs. Carrier Gardner, house- s Student Body in 1918 mother, was built to accomodate out-of- town students. When the bus system was started, the dormitory became a teacher- age. The first graduating class had three members - -George Queen, Finley Gore, and Grace Frazier. In 1922 the Manual Training Building was erected. From year to year equipment was added and in 1928 it included a band saw, circle saw, lathe, sanding machine, one plane, and other modern tools. Today the equipment consists of electric and band sanders, a dowel rod maker, an electric vitro tool, a router tool for making designs, and one jointer or edger. In 1 9 2 3 our Board of Education con- sisting of a president and two commiss- ioners had to construct an annex for the growing student body. Dr. J. W. Thornbury served twenty-two years as president of the board. Menwho served as commissioners were Rush Elkins, John Vance, and Tom Prichard. This Board of Education was discon- tinued in 1933 when the County Unit System was adopted. At the present time Tria- delphia District has two representatives L. F. Workman and Joe Blair, serving on the Logan County Board of Education. Paul C. Winter became Logan County Superintendent of Schools in 1939 and has held this position up until the present time with the exception of two years of service with the navy. In 1927 C. H. Withers became principal of Triadelphia District High School with Erwin Rigdon as junior high principal, until 1934 when Mr. Rigdon took over the position. During this time the Board of Education had purchased three new buses which caused the dormitory to be discon- tinued. With the passing of the years the school’s enrollment increased. Due to the increase the grade school was moved out in 1933 and the school Senior Class of 1923 7 became a six-year school under the name of Man High School. In 1937 W. E. Flannery became prin- cipal. He served his first year in the old building. In the fall of 1937 construction of anew building was started; when ready for occupancy in 1938 this building consisted of a gymnasium, a principal’s office, a li- brary, and eight classrooms. While Mr. Flannery was here the stone wall around the school, the sidewalks, tennis court which was later torn down for the addition of the annexes, shelves in the library, and bleachers in the gym were built. Also, the office was partitioned, pictures were placed in the classrooms, the rest rooms were moved upstairs, in the old building, and signature cards were obtained from parents of all the students. During the time Mr. Flannery was prin- cipal, curtains, the cyclorama for the stage, and new maroon and French blue band uni- W. E. Flannery forms were bought. Also the junior high had homogeneous grouping and standard- ized tests given for all subjects. At this time he created an Art Department. The Man High Handbook which was published in 1939- 40 was a very helpful item. 8 In 1942, the world was in chaos. The students of Man High School along with the students of Lundale Junior High, which was moved to Man that year, did their part of the fighting by collecting scrap iron and old newspapers. In the fall of 1944 Mr. Everett Stollings became principal. That same year Man Vocational School, headed by Mr. John K. Butcher was installed. Then in 1946 a new addition was added to this shop. As chaos in the world continued, Mr. Stollings was forced to use many emergency teachers because of the teacher shortage. Under the handicaps of insufficient funds, however, a new addition of the building was started which included two classrooms and four laboratories --chemistry and phy- sics combined, biology, sewing, and cook- ing, and a flagpole was purchased. In the fall of 1949 Mr. Jack Neely came to Man as principal. The addition of the building was ready for occupancy upon his arrival. Since Mr. Neely came to Man High School the intercommunication system has been installed and the bandroom has been enlarged. Also, he created the pos- itions of the Dean of Girls and Boys in Man. Mr. Everett 9 Stollings and director of activities established a guidance program, and introduced audio- visual education. Other improvements that have been made in the building are the installation of new stage curtains, the lights and blinds in the principal’s office, book stacks in the library, and placement of tile on the hallways and home economics rooms. In 1954-55 new band uniforms were pur- chased. The biggest improvement is our beautiful lawn on which much hard work and long hours by Liptai have been spent. The 1956 enrollment, the largest ever in the history of Man High School is fifteen hundred and forty with forty-five faculty members. Mr. Neely has the assistance of two secretaries--Miss Kathleen Gannon, private secretary to Mr. Neely for the per- iod of four years, and Mrs. Alice Sheahan as financial secretary of the school. He also has the service of two Deans --Miss Renata Comoretto and Mr. Walter Murray, and director of activities, Mr. Jack Lee. The custodians of the building are Mr. and Mrs. James Mosley and Mr. Wayne May- nard. COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT AND SUPERVISORS Mr. Paul C. Winter, County Superintendent; Mr. Earnest Craddock, Elementary Supervisor; Mr. Ralph Willis, Secondary Supervisor. COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION MEMBERS OF BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. Woodrow Gordon, President, Logan District; Mr. Red Bevins, Logan District; Mr. L. F. Workman, Triadelphia District; Mr. Joe Blair, Triadelphia District; Mr. Okey Justice, Chap- manville District. 12 OUR PRINCIPAL Mr. Jack Neely Mr. Neely is a graduate of Montgomery High School. He received his A. B. and B. S. Degrees from West Virginia Tech and received his M. A. Degree from the Univer- sity of North Carolina. At the present time Mr. Neely is working on his Doctor of Ed- ucation. 13 Mr. Ellis Cutright Audio-Visual Education Secretary Mrs. Alice Sheahan Financial Secretary PRINCIPAL’S ASSISTANTS Mr. Jack Lee Director of Activities DEAN OF GIRLS Miss Laura Hinchman When Mr. Neely came to Man High School, he recognized the need for Deans to help the stu- dents with their problems and offer guidance. In the fall of 1949 Mrs. Bailey, Mrs. Bodnar, and Miss Hinchman attended a meeting of the Deans of Girls at Marshall College. In 1949- 50 the Man High School faculty was given an inservice training program in guidance under the direction of Mr. Clements D. Brown, State Supervisor of Guidance Services. In the study they considered how guidance services could be implemented at Man High School. Miss Laura Hinchman became Dean in the fall of 1950. Miss Hinchman obtained a Master's Degree in guidance in 1952. Miss Patricia Jack became Dean of Girls in 1953 followed in 1954 by our present Dean, Miss Renata Comoretto. Miss Comeretto issues excuses, keeps att- endance records for the girls, aids students with their problems, directs College and Career Day, and serves as guidance director. She has given her time and energy so willingly to each girl to help with their problems. For her many efforts these last two years to make our school life brighter we express our appreciation. Miss Renata Comoretto 15 A SALUTE TO OUR LIBRARIAN For her straightforwardness, her loyalty to the students, her fairness,her high standards and her devotion to the school, we, the annual staff, salute our librarian, Mrs. Ruby Williams, for her 25 years of devoted work. 16 OUR LIBRARY Man High School's library, today one of the largest in the Southern part of the state, had its beginning in 1922 in our old building. Starting with only 700 books, two students (Edna Gunning and Irwin Cook) cataloged these volumes, under the Dewey Decimal System, and also acted as supervisors. Five years later the library had grown until it contained 2000 books and was locat- ed in an annex building with Charles E. Dunmire as librarian. Three successive librarians were as follows: Miss Mildred Davis (now Mrs. W. E. Flannery) in 1929; Mr. T. R. Williams in 1931; and Miss Marie Gutridge in 1936. In 1937 the library was moved to the new build- ing with Mrs. Mildred Flannery returning as librarian. In 1944- 45- 47, the following respect- ively served as librarians: Miss Martha Kochenderfer, Mrs. Ruby Williams, and Miss Elizabeth Dooiin. Mrs. Ruby Williams again became librarian in 1949 and holds this position at the present time. Man High School library has continued to grow and at the present time has 7085 books which tax the capacity of its crowded shelves. Mrs. Ruby Williams 17 DEAN OF BOYS The Dean of Boys was established as part of the guidance program that was set up in Man High School six years ago. The duties of the Dean are personnel work, guidance, and attendance. Mr. Robert E. L. Hart was app- ointed the first Dean in the fall of 1950. Mr. Hart served three years in this position. Upon the resignation of Mr. Hart, Mr. Sam Cardea became Dean. Mr. Cardea held his position one year and then resigned in order to take a new job. Mr. Robert E. L. Hart Our Present Dean, Mr. Walter Murray, came to us in the fall of 1954. Since coming to Man, Mr. Murrayhas won many friends by his untiring patience and willingness to help. Mr. Murray has invoked an honor system wherein the absentee tells his reason for absence and does not have to have a note from his par- ents or the doctor. Mr. Murray, along with Miss Comoretto, directed a very fine College Day this year which gave the students a great deal of information about the state coll- eges.

In 1923 a bus was purchased to transport far away students to and from school. In 1928 two more buses were pur- chased and were under the super- vision of Mr. R. H. Carder. The bus- es transported students from as far as Lorado, Wilburn, Davin, and Elk Creek. First Bus Today we have students transported from all parts of Triadeiphia District. We have nine drivers and eleven buses which are under the supervision of Mr. Ed Adkins who has served in this capacity for four- teen years. The drivers include: J. E. Reedy who has served for eight years; Ted Jennings, eight years; A. J. Parsons, three years; Jenny Nowlin, five years; Laura Vincen, one year; Edna Greene, one year; Otis Ferguson, four years; Harry Gordon, three years; and Bobby Polar, two years.

Marianne Beckner Sponsors Ellis Cutright Jack Lee Mildred Flannery Stanley Cieplechowicz In 1951,360 bright-eyed seventh graders filed into the gym of Man High School to be assigned to rooms and to start on our jour- ney up the ladder of education. The following year, 1952, we started to make our print in the history of Man High School when Bob Crawford placed first in the county oratorical contest. As freshmen we shared the honors of an outstanding junior high basketball team. In 1954 the sophomore class made a real dent in the history of our school. We started the annual Sophomore Halloween and Valentine Dances. The sophomore homecoming representative was Lou Ann Grayson. The Junior Class of 55 was truly out- standing. The annual junior class play was presented, and the big event of the year was Junior-Senior Prom-one never to be for- gotten At long last ‘56 is here and now we are Seniors. The six years have trimmed our class to a small 130. Shirley Chafin and Madeline Tallarico were the senior re- presentatives to the Homecoming Queen. The annual Christmas Ball was given in December honoring the juniors. A proud day was the one when we received our class rings this fall. The senior class presented a minstrel in December. The class play was the last activity and was presented this spring. The climax to six years of hard work came with the Commencement ex- ercises as the class of '56 left to pursue the various careers which were awaiting them. 27 Beulah Janice Adkins General Lorado, West Virginia Carlos Edward Adkins General Crown, West Virginia Fanny Catherine Adkins Commercial Kistler, West Virginia Harold Gene Adkins General Man, West Virginia Jefferson Homer Adkins Commercial Robinette, West Virginia SENIORS Jenice Gail Adkins General Man, West Virginia William Tolbert Adkins Commercial Lifndale, West Virginia Barbara Sue Allen General Mallory, West Virginia Tommy Joe Altizer College Prep.

One of our first graduates, Finley Gore, was the state amateur tennis champion and Tony Tailarico, a graduate last year, made All-Southern football team. Although sports had been a part of school life at Man High School since 1917, it was not until 1921 that Man began athletic competition with other schools. The first basketball game was played against Logan on a dirt court where the present garage is located. We lost 7 to 5 Football came to Man with Coach E. H. Shelton in 1921. He worked diligently with the boys but with little success. Then, in 1925, we acquired an assistant coach; he was Elvis Moore. Under this combination we had both an outstanding game and an outstanding player. In 1926 the outstanding player was Eddie Ste- vens who was also selected as an all-state back. The outstanding game of the year was against Williamson; we lost, 94 toO. The rea- son given was that the first string pretended sickness and the scrubs had to play. Organized basketball got off to a fair start in 1922 with Shelton as coach. The players were: Joe Frazier, Earnest Walls, Herbert Perry, Kemper Stewart, Garland .Altizer and Noah Queen. Girls basketball got off to a fair start in 1924, and the record was fair up until 1928. Then, under the leadership of Coach Osa Cox, Man's greatest sextette was formed. With Captain Esta Combs, the girls of the team--- 72 LaNora Wylie, Virginia Kelly, Kate Frazier, Kathleen Christian, Alice Cook, Ruth Peek and Edith Walls, compiled the most amazing record Man has ever known. They were run- ners-up in the state YWCA tournament, were state champions and competed in the national tournament in Wichita, Kansas, where they were defeated. From 1927 to 1931 we had fair teams, both in basketball and football. In 1928, Chubby White, a player of six years, received his letter. Then at the opening of the new decade, there came to Man a new assistant coach; he was George Queen, who was to coach for 18 years in Man. Mr. Queen became head coach in 32. No team of any importance played until 1934, when we had an undefeated football team. Some members of that team were: Fred Gilmore, Sam Anthony, Jim Swindle, Joe Manko, L. C. Payne, Hobart Napie r, Tom Davis , and He rshai Donahue. We also had an excellent basketball team under Coach Elvis Moore. Some letter winners of that year were: Elizabeth Barath, Ralph Cook, Joe Harsanyi, Athleen Altizer, and Mack Davis� The teams of 35 and ‘36 were very good with few losses, in football or basketball. Girls basketball began to fade out during those years. In 1942 Coach Queen resigned after ten years of service, in order to join the armed forces. Coach Queen left with a flourish, his football team of the year before, 1942, was un- defeated. Some members of that team were: Joe White, James Shuff, Captain, Jack Spicer, George Kovich, Pedro Koutsunis, Quill Eng- land, Robert Letsinger, and Andy Combs. 73 Upon Queen's resignation his assistant, Glendon Stanley, took over with John Marquis as his assistant. Mrs. Flannery was the spon- sor of the cheerleaders at that time. Queen returned in ‘45 and our teams were good. Our cheerleaders also were excellent; they were the sectional cheerleading champ- ions. Members of the team were: Charlotte Osenton, Jeanne Sias, Betty Jane Smith, Ruth Letsinger, Barbara Hollandsworth, and Helen Mae Vinson. In 1946 our teams were fair. The Presi- dent of the Varsity Club was Jim Ed Workman (who later returned to become our Junior High coach in the fall of ‘52 and coached for two years.) The year of 1950 was Coach Queen’s last year, but things were looking up. Our new coaches in 51 were Charles “Chuck” Field- son and James White. Fieldson was head football coach and White was head basketball coach and each acted as the other's assistant. This set a precedent for the following years. We had a poor season, but the following year, '52, was better both in football and basketball. In 1953 our boys came under the coaching team of Frank Mazza (football) and James White (basketball.) Coach Mazza's first year was poor, but the following '54 season was excellent. The outstanding game occurred when we defeated our arch-rival, Logan 6 to 0, for the first time since our school began. The winning play was a breathless last sec- onds play with a pass from Milan Klipa to Buddy Adkins. It was a game to be long re- membered. In the year of '54-'55 we had an outstanding star, Tony Tallarico, who was an athlete of outstanding ability in both basketball and foot- ball. He broke the all-time scoring record in basketball with an average of 31 points per game. 74 ATHLETICS In football he played end for Man and received an invitation to play the same position in the North-South game. This year our teams are under the able leadership of coaches - Burgess, White, and Will- iams. The head football coach this year is Mr. Joe Pete Burgess. This is Mr. Burgess's first year at Man. Before coming here, he coached at Sharpies High School for a period of five years. Although the football team wasn't outstanding, we are sure that Coach Burgess will produce a better team next year. Coach Frank Williams is our able Junior High Coach. This is his seventh year in Man, four of which have been spent in coaching. Our Junior High football team was excellent this sea- son under his wise leadership and we are sure that his basketball team will be the same. The head basketball coach this year is Coach James White. Mr. White has coached here for four years and turned out outstanding teams. Prospects for a good season are the best that we have had for many years. May all our wishes come true and may this team go down in his- tory as undefeated. 75 Charles Dickerson Joda Ellis Terry Collins Larry Payne Tom Standifur James Mullins SCHEDULE Date We Opponent They Sept. 9 6 Williamson 26 11 0 Logan 2 22 12 Oceana 28 30 19 Madison 14 Oct. 7 12 Pineville 13 14 0 Welch 6 21 6 Matewan 13 28 0 Guyan Valley 21 Nov. 4 13 Ceredo Kenova 13 SENIOR VARSITY MAN SENIOR HIGH FOOTBALL TEAM First Row: Tom Standifur, Billy Dickerson, Joda Ellis, Charles Dickerson, Burgoyne Mullins, Jack Waldron, Terry Collins.

RECORD OF MAN HIGH BAND W. W. Clark (1930-32) Harold W. Glasgow (1933-45) This was the first band organized in Man High School with 35 members. The members of the band wore white ducks, shirts, caps, and capes, ex- cept for the girls who wore skirts. This year was to be the beginning of 12 long years of directing for Mr. Glasgow. It has been stated that dur- ing the years he was at Man it had one of the best bands in the state. He took the band to the first festival in Hunt- ington and with the 34 members re- ceived the best rating possible which is Superior. When Mr. Glasgow left, he had built the band up to 44 mem- bers. 82 DIRECTOR RECORD James B. Armentrout (1945-46) By this time the Man High School Band had been noted for its Superior rat- ings and had been invited to play at labor rallies and many political meet- ings. Although they were handicapped this year by not having a director dur- ing the first semester, the “band played on” with Earl Smith as student director. Mr. Armentrout arrived the first of the second semester, and the band again retained their Superior rating. This year 9 students made the all-stale band. John R. Pestun (1946-47) There were 36 playing members and 4 majorettes this year, ranking from captain down to private first class. Mr. Armentrout put this system into effect and Mr. Pestun continued it. Mr. Pestun continued it along with introducing the demerit system. Dewey Canfield (1947-48) It is not known how many members the band had this year but it attended the festival and obtained another Sup- erior rating. Earl Smith (1948-51) During the three years Mr. Smith dir- ected the band.it was one of the most precise playing and marching bands in the school’s history. Danny Joe Smith was the Drum Major during these years and the band again re- ceived a Superior rating. Richard Beasley (1951-52) Mr. Beasley joined the faculty this year and lead the 38 piece band in a very successful year. The band re- ceived Superior rating in Huntington and this was the first year the band played class A music. Dorothy Just- ice was the drum majorette marching in front of the 8 majorettes. Sid Kramer (1952-54) There were 40 band members and 5 majorettes. The band played class A music again and received a Sup- erior rating. In 1954 Mr. Kramer presented something new to the school. Twenty-five girls were chosen to form a majorette corp and to lead the 49 piece band. The State Bandmasters Association met and decided that each band could attend the festival only once every four years. Man did not attend the festival in Huntington this year. 83 DIRECTOR David Songer (1954-55) Ezra Brewer (1955-56) RECORD This was one of the big years for the band and the Band Boosters purchased new blue and white band uniforms for the band. The band received their new uniforms in time for both the Williamson and the Huntington festi- vals. At the beginning of the school year the band did not have a director. In the middle of the first six weeks Mr. Brewer joined the Man High School faculty as the new director. After his arrival the band made its first appearance at the annual Homecoming game. The band presented its annual Christmas Concert in December and plans to have a Spring Concert. The band has been invited to the Cherry Blossom festival in Washington, D. C. and is planning to attend. There are 49 band members, a drum major and 9 majorettes who are as follows: Nancy Porter Head Majorette, Yvonne Bryant,Shirley Hail, Norma Ackison, Sharon Hinchman, Glenyce Smith, Susie Hamb, Carolyn Moore.

The name of the paper was the Billikin. It was started by Mr. Carter K. Bishop and was under the direction of Miss Osa Cox. The first editor-in- chief of the Billikin was Mildred Easley. Only one year later the Congress of the United High School Press of West Virginia met in Huntington for the first time. However, the staff of the Billikin did not attend until the following year, 1927. In the same year the presses were brought to Triadelphia High School and the staff was under way to publish their own Billikin under the faculty supervision of Mr. G. H. Winters and the student editor, E. V. Floyd. The presses at Triadelphia District High School were at work until the coming of the depression in 1929. However, the presses were started again in the year 1935 under the supervision of Alma Caudelland student editor Laura Hinch- man. As the name of the school changed, the name of the paper changed from the Billikin to the Hillbilly. The Hillbilly was on the presses for eight years when the presses at Man were stopped permanently in the year 1942. The paper was sent to a commercial firm for publicatipn. The Billikin contest for advertis and subscription� closed Thursday. tober 7, and Alice Cooke was the w ner. The class in journalism decld that a very good way by which to crease our advertising and clrculatl would be to launch a campaign which the members of the joum ism class should compete. The ca ; aign was organized so that each s '.cription should count for one v and each yearly advertisement shoi count for 25 votes. Each single isi advertisement should count for votes. When the contest closed Thursday. Alice Cooke had 73 nu votes than any other contestant. Tr Williams came second and Joe Sm third. The Billiken for the year of 1 Uld 1927 is organized in a manner tirely different from that which it t lowed last year.

West Vit (Continued on pagr 2) THE HILLBILLY The Yearbook, known as The Hillbilly, made it’s first appearance in 1922. The book was com- posed of a brief history of all the schools in Tri- adelphia District. This Book consisted of 98 pages with a paper cover. Our next yearbook didn't appear until 1927, followed by another in 1928. In 1931 the appearance of the yearbook was changed from a paper cover to a leather one. The following eleven years it was not possible for a yearbook to appear due to economic con- ditions in our country. In 1942 the yearbook made its reapperance, with Leona Marie Gutridge acting as advisor for two years. The yearbook wasn't published in 1944. In 1945 and 1946 the yearbook appeared under the supervision of Miss Laura Hinchman. Mr. T. R. Williams acted as advisor in 1947. Due to the lack of funds a book was not published in 1948. The 1949 yearbook, under the supervision of Miss elrose Higginbotham, was in color. Mr. T. R. Williams acted as advisor in the year of 1950 to 1951. In 1952 the faculty advisor was Mrs. Dorothy L. Bailey. The yearbook app- eared in 1953 and 1954 under the supervision of Mr. Louis Traugh and Mr. Lloyd Brumfield res- pectively. Mrs. Dorothy L. Bailey was the ad- visor in 1955 and is the faculty advisor to the staff of 1956. We are proud to say that the yearbooks in Man High School have been outstanding in the past 39 years.

The admission was one can of food. The food was turned over to the Salvation Army and filled approximately 125 baskets for needy families of Triadelphia District. 98 NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The first chapter of the National Honor Soc- iety of Logan County was organized at Man High School in November, 1950, under the faculty sup- ervision of Miss Patricia Keister. The members of the society were chosen on the basis of char- acter, leadership, scholarship, and service. In 1951 the rather active club, still underthe supervision of Miss Patricia Keister, held its first meeting in November in the library during which the officers for that school year were el- ected. Some of the activities carried on by the club were: a tea honoring the faculty of Man High School, a book drive conducted to enlarge the li- brary, a clean-up drive to further enhance the beauty of the school, and the senior members participated in the National Honor Society Ex- aminations for awards and scholarships. After 1952 Mrs. Helen Cieplechowicz assumed the responsibility of sponsor of the National Honor Society and is still holding that position. This year the club sponsored a color day on which blue and white ribbons were sold by the National Hon- or Society for five cents, a blue jean dance was held in November, and a basket of food was given to a needy family at Christmas. Other activities for the coming year are being discussed. Tne active members of this year’s club are: Dorothy Phillips, Dreama Sue Beatty, Marianne Beckner, Grace Heather man, Jean Curry, Niawana Deskins, Dora Bassham, Glenna Faye Napier, Geraldine Wolford, Janet Lankas, Donna Maynard, Jerry Nicely, Larry Hall, James Mullins, Bill Perry, Tom Altizer, Jim Pennington, Franklin Thomp- son, Franklin Gilbert. 99 MISS MAN HIGH SCHOOL In the fall of 1951, the senior high of Man High School voted by secret ballot for Miss Man High School.
