In this age of constant communication with the entire world, it is necessary for the student of today to be well-informed. M.H.S. tries to fill this need through its Social Studies Department. While the seniors are learning in Civ- ics how to run the government, the jun- iors are being taught in U. S. History how our nation began and grew. In the World History classes, students learn how the world situaI1iO11 of today developed and how it affects them. In all the Social Studies Courses, the students discuss current events and watch history in the making.

SERVE THE STUDENTS DF IVI.H.S. The normal operation of Manisee High School rests on many competent and dedi- cated individuals. Among those who should receive special recognition for their work in this respect are the nurse, cook, attendance office worker, bus drivers, and custodians. Our nurse, Mrs. Callan, represents aid and comfort to many students who have sought her help. Besides acting as nurse for MHS'ers she travels to a number of other city schools. Hers is a very important and busy job. Certainly many of us would go hungry if it wasn't for Mrs. Cedar- holm, our cook. Starting early in the morning she almost singlehandedly prepares noon lunches for a large number of our stu- dents and faculty. If it wasn't for our custodial staff most of us would be cold in winter, warm in hot weather and would probably be wading around over dirt and paper filled floors. To the bus drivers we also owe special credit. If it wasn't for them MHS would be a pretty empty place as many students depend upon them for their rides to and from school. Handing out the attendance slips this year was someone new to the MHS scene. This, as most MHS'ers are well aware of is Mrs. Bowes, who does a great job. To all, the Manistee High School offers a great big--thanks! The second floor, second home of Guidance Director Herman L. Stephens has certainly been a busy place this year especially because of the more than 800 students. Mr. Stephens responsibility is to guide us, the student body, individually to our most important goals. He also served as the Freshman counselor this year along with Mrs. Jacobsen--sophomores, Mr. Hargreaves--juniors, and Mrs. Capper-- Seniors. The entire body has benefited by their skillful and knowledgeable guidance. To the Guidance Dept. the 1964 Manichigan says Thank you for guiding us so well thru that wonderful year. 15 Director Stephens Lmdoubtedly holds one of the most important jobs in our school. ' Mrs. Bowes is completing her first year in the Attendance office this ye ar.
