One more year to go--and they really had fun this year. Those who came to the fore- front as class leaders were president Francis Darling, vice-president Bonner staff, and secretary-treasurer Karen Skiver. The representatives to the Student Council were Ann Glover and Harry Knox. The class was sponsored by Miss Berger. The ball got rolling last fall when the backfield was dependent upon the junior boys to replace the running backs that graduatedin '51, Twelvejunior athletes earned their varsity letters this year. Thejunior class athletic ability wasn't limited to football only, as Francis Darling, Les Brown, Bob Hartley, and Harry Knox really showed up on the basketball courts. Several junior trackmen also received their varsity letters. The grand finale to the football season was the annual Pigskin Prom on November 17. From members of the class were chosen Queen candidates Sue I-Iostinsky, Kathryn Bran- nagan, and Kay Finholtg and King candidate s Les Brown, Leonard Suelte r, Dale Hodgson, and Francis Darling. Fred Garrett and A1 Steunenberg were not only athletes. They swung right into practice on the All School Play, The Ghost Ship , in which Wanetta Funk and Sue McDowell took part to complete the junior representation on the cast. The mystery comedy was presented on November 29 and 30. A lot of them had fun producing the junior class play, The Patchwork Quilt , which, under the able direction of Mr. Loy, was performed on October 18 and 19. The dramafiS personae of this romantic drama was peopled by Janet Frey, Charlotte Rosell, Kay Finholt, Buelah Springer, Diana Fellows, Karen Skiver, Robert Shipp, Bonner Staff, Dick Haines, Beverley Juhlin, and Bill Bryson. The Golddiggers Ball, on February 9 went over big to highlight Twirp Week, which began February 1. The class of '53 took advantage of their only opportunity to set the stage for a good time for the whole school through the efforts of the following committee chair- men: Wanetta Funk,decorationsg Dick Haines, publicity, DonGier, coke standgKarenSkiver and Bonner Staff, ticket sales. The traditional Junior-Senior Banquet and Prom on May 3 was their last gesture of friendship towards the seniors.

Sophs Make Strong Start The sophomore class of 1951-1952 has been one of the most outstanding classes to enter the halls of Manhattan High. Their talents are seemingly unlimited as demonstrated in leadership, sports, social activities, dramatics and music. The class leaders of these promising students were president Pat Lutz, vice-president Kaye Aye, and secretary-treasurer Sharon Greiveldinger. The sophomore class was re- presented on the student council by Mary Lee Durland and Don McCord. Miss Marley was the head sponsor. The sophomores did all right for themselves in cheerleading this year since they held three of the five positions, and one of them, Joe Steele, was head cheerleader. The other two were Sandy Hunt and Terry Murphy. The class was represented on the gridiron by Roddy Long, who received his varsity team letter. He was backed by several other fellow sophs who received their reserve letters this year. Contenders in basketball and track promise to make a good showing by next year. The Sophomore Hop on November 9 was the first big event which initiated the lowly sophs into the high social standards of Manhattan High. Committee chairmen who were responsible for the success of the well-rounded evening's fun were Natalie Harwood, decorations and publicityg Don Wilbur, refreshmentsg Mary Lee Durland, garnesg and Sandra Smerchek, dance committee. Two popular sophomore girls, Marlene Young and Sandra Smerchek, were nominated Football Queen candidates by the sophomore members ofthe squad. Roddy Long was chosen Football King candidate. Joy Yeo added prestige to the annals of the sophomore class when she wrote the winning lyrics for the new school pep song contest. Sophomore personalities in the cast of the All School Play, The Ghost Ship , included Charlie Peak, Bunny Cowan, Carl Stensland, and Sandy Hunt. Members of the staff from the sophomore class were Janet Kugler, Mary Lee Durland, Natalie Harwood, and Prudy McCracken. One member of the sophomore class, Don Wilbur, was honored byhis acceptance into the Robed Choir. Don also carried a part in the operetta, Sweethearts . All in all it's been a highly eventful year. And just think---they have two more years to go, the lucky stiffs. -IW P Q A - . fltxy. hI 9 ff? . -4. sf 51,5 'N 5 35 I J wh, '33 L Q . ,em 1 s al. 4 A 5 Classroom Capers Q 132151 viii pill'- awww-w ' b 59' ,1Get those boards Stfalght' Oy saYs MT- Taylor' Jim, Maridell and Lee try to catch the drift.

The band also went to the State Fair at Hutchinson and was guestband at K-State Homecoming. They played in assemblies and gave several other concert performances during the course of the year.

Tribe Drops to Fifth The Manhattan Indians under coach Al Hargrave had one of their poorest seasons, winning only two of their nine-game slate and winding up in the fifth spot in league play. Opening against the Lions of Lawrence they went down to defeat Z7-6, which wasn't bad at all considering the fact that Lawrence ended the season as the state's number two team. Then it was on to Marysville to meet one of the top Class A clubs in the state. There the Bulldogs capitalized on numerous Tribe mistakes to take a 19-6 verdict. In the first league tilt the Indians looked great, running up 2.7 points in the first half a- gainst Chapman, but then the roof fell in as the Irish racked up 4 TD's while holding Manhattan to none. Only three extra points saved the MHS MHS 6 Head footballcoach, Al Hargrave, came to Manhattan in the fall of '48 as junior high social science instructor and athletic coach, Before coming here Al had turned out cham- pionship teams in both football and track at Hill City, Kansas. After two successful years in the junior high he moved up as head foot- ballcoach at the high school. Al was a very capable selection for this position, having lettered four years in football and three years in track at Kansas Wesleyan, graduating from there with an A. B. degree in 1942, The well-liked head man is 32 years old and is married to the former Eulalie Moor- mon of Manhattan, SEASON'S RECORD 6 Lawrence Z7 Marysville MHS Z7 Chapman MHS 14 Junction City O x MHS 7 Clay Center 26 as A MHS O T ope ka 0 aw- MHS lZ McPherson Z1 MHS 6 Salina 7 MHS 7 Abilene 41 Indians' scalp. From here the Tribe rallied to win the most important contest of the year, de- feating Junction City 14-O and thereby retaining the Sportsman Trophy for the third straight year. In the next encounter a power-ladenpack of Tigers from Clay Center rolled over MHS 26-7. At Topeka the Tribe butted heads with the Trojans on a muddy field to a scoreless tie. On Halloween night the Cowboys from Abilene journeyed to Manhattan to hand a shocked band of Indians a 41-7 shellacking, the worst of the year. With only two games remaining the Indians played out the season in two hard fought con- tests, losing to McPherson 21-12, inwhat many called the best game the Indians played all year, and Salina 7-6 in a real heartbreaker. 19 24 we--f Dave McGill is completing his second year at Manhattan High after coaching at Hal- stead and Peabody, Kansas. Dave, is agrad- uate of McPherson College with a B.S. de- gree, lettered four years in both football and basketball, and three years in track, Dave, who is head basketball coach, is Al's first assistant during the gridiron season. While at l-lalstead his basketball team won the class B state championship, and at Peabody won the football championship while hanging up a good basketball record along with it, Dave is married and has a little daughter four years old.

B-Squad Wins Three Drops Two With the completion of their game with Abilene the Indian B -Squad finished out the '51 season with a 3 won, l tied, and 2 lost record. The Braves played two games with the junior Red Raid- ers of Wamego, winning one and tieing the second. Thenit was onto Chapman where the Irish B-Team went down to defeat. Junction City was apparently up for the Braves whenthey came to town after the Indian varsity had retained the trophy the Friday before, and there the Braves suffered their first loss. They split the last two, winning from Clay Center and losing aheartbreaker 14-13 Coach Boles stated that he thought the squad had played some fine ball during the season but lacked the depth to have a consistently winning ball club. He went on to explain this by saying that before the season was over it was nec- essary to use a guard in the quarterback slot and move an end into the backfield in order to have two halfbacks. He also stressed the fact that more boys are needed to come out for football. This year the Indians had one of the smallest squads that the school has seenin many years. to Abilene. A man that has served Manhattan longer than any other present coach is Bob Boles. Bob started his teaching career in Viola, Kansas, after he had grad- uated with a B.S. Degree from Southwestern. He then came to Manhattan where he served as B-Squad and head tennis coach. The U. S. Army took over for Bob in X943 and held him there until '45, He started in the armed forcesas aprivate and ended upas a first lieu- tenant. He came back to Manhattan after his dis- charge to coach freshman football and high school tennis. Bob is married and has one little one.

'si A SQUAD Brown Kelly Hartley Gunter Brumm Darling Cordes Janes Knox KNEELING Knight Trainer Coach Boles Arnold Trainer Hoopsters Improve look Sharp The 51- 52 Indians turned in the best basketball record that this school has seen in almost ten years Although the season s win-loss record ofeight and eightcloesn'tlook too impressive, it is a tremendous improve- ment over the past seasons. The Warriors turned in several sparkling wins over such powers as McPherson, Junction City, Abi- lene, and Highland Parkg and they were tab- bed by several coaches as having as good potential power as any team in the state. The team also had an obstacle to clear that most teams do not have to cope with, that being the changing of coaches in midseason. They started out the season under Coach Dave McGill, but because of a splendid offer from a sporting goods firm he left the Indians, after seven games had been completed, to Bob Boles. When coaches are changed in this manner, it usuallyinvolves a change of strat- egy to which the boys have to become accus- tomedg however, because Mr. Boles had coached some of the seniors before and because he believed in the same type of coaching as Mr. McGill, this change was not so severe. We of the Blue-M sports staff would like to congratulate Bob Boles and his charges for the masterful way they handled the situation. When Dave McGill left, the team had won 3 games lost 4 and were holding down a fourth place berth in the CKI.. race Then Boles took over and put MHS back into the race by pasting a highly favored McPherson team. From there on, the Indians had a see- saw season, first losing one or two, then coming back with one or two wins. The Tribe will lose only five seniors from their squad via the graduating route and will have six juniors plus avery promising crew of B-squaders returning. The seniors who have played their last game for MHS are Brumm, Cordes, Gunter, Janes and Pultz.

Farming Programs Chief Interest of FFA The farming programs are the chief aim and purpose of the Future Farmers of America. Each boy is encouraged to have his own livestock and feed crops in order to get experience in financing and managing the farming business and to get a start in farming for himself. Beginning the year with green-hand initiation, the thirty-four members of the FFA continued their many activities throughout the year. In the fall the North side won the pest eradication contest and were treated to a chili feed by the South side. The Boys attended both the fair in Hutchinson and the AmericanRoyal in Kansas City. Other activities were tractor-driving and car-driving contests. Hal McClure ladles out chili to hungry FFA boys.
