I would like to thank my co-officers who are as fol- lows: Beth Swanson, Vice President, Theora Wiseman, Secretaryg Kay Nel- son, Treasurer. Without the aid of the other officers our dreams of class ac- complishments would not have come true. I feel We must not forget the pre- siding officers of the past three years who Were: Dennis Anderson, Fresh- man, Theora Wiseman, Sophomore and Junior. In these four years our class has advanced considerably, both socially and financially. Many of us have jokingly said that we can't wait until we graduate, butl am quite sure We will all admit that Manlius High has been a sound and basic educational foundation for our stairway of life. An whether our next step is that of further education or work, it is the first few steps that count. In now speak for the entire classin saying our four years at Manlius have truly been four strong steps. By-Ronald Nordstrom Class President of '56 THEORA WISEMAN F.H.A. 1,2,3,4, F.H.A.

After the first few weeks we became accus- tomed to the routine of high school classes. Our first year we elected the following officers: President--Dennis fSkipj Anderson Vice-President--Patti Andersen Secretary--Kay Nelson Treasurer--Bill Chesney Advisor--Fred Russel Our first high light of the year---INITIATION, Sep- tember 12. The boys looked very feminine carrying their dolls and dressed in negligee, night caps, and high heels. The girls looked very cute dressed in their dad's pajamas, one bedroom slipper, one hip boot, and with their hair in twenty pig tails. As we recall that day, we think of how funny we must have looked to the upper classmen. At the beginning of the year, Marshall Kinsley joined our class, but before the year was over, we lost Shirley Partin, Shirley Benoodt, Orvin Webb, and Beth Swansong leaving a total of twenty-five in our class. We ended our first year feeling less green and much older. After a summer of fun and hard work, we returned in the fallwith twenty-six in our class, eleven boys and fif- teen girls. We gained one new member, Linda Jaques. Later we lost Charles Boyce, due to illness. Our officers for this year were: President--Theora Wiseman Vice -President--Rita Dell Cooksey Secretary--Katherine Miller Treasurer--George House Advisor--Mrs. Small We sold magazines at the beginning of the year and also ordered our class pins. Our main event for the year was our Sophomore Dance on December 22, following the Manlius vs Mineral basket- ball game. On March 19, we had a lot of fun having a St. Patrick's Day Party. With a junior air of authority, we returned to school in the fall of '54 with twenty-four membersg Janet Pyse having moved away during the summer. We now had four- teen girls and ten boys, later gaining Art Ghys for a total of twenty-six. The officers for this year were: President--Theora Wiseman Vice-President--David Michlig Secretary--Patti Andersen Treasurer--Richard Van Bevern Advisors--Miss Decker and Mr. Cliff During the second semester, we gained three new membersg Patricia Brigham, Ioan Neidetcher, and Beth Swanson - -but we also lost three me mbersg Ge orge House, George Krug, and Art Ghys. This left us with twenty-five members in our class, eight boys and seventeen girls. We all looked forward to getting our class rings which came in November. We decorated the football field for the Homecoming game on October 1. We again took an active part in the magazine cam- paign. Some of our projects through-out the year were the coke machine, Bar-B-Q dinner, and hobo day. Out- standing was the Junior Dance on December 3, following the Manlius vs Sheffield game. On May 6 and 7, we presented the Junior Class Play, ONLY AN ORPHAN GIRL . The play was well attended and proved to be quite a success. Another great scene was the Jr. and Sr. Banquet and Promon May 14. Our theme was U.S.S. Memories . Al- though we worked hard, we enjoyed it. On August 29, we serious seniors walked up the steps and in the door to finish our high school career. There were twenty-six members since Marilyn Peterson joined us, eighteen girls and eight boys. Officers chosen were: President--Ronald Nordstrom Vice-President --Beth Swanson Secretary--Theora Wiseman Treasurer--Kay Nelson Advisors--Miss Peters and Mr. Vroman Many alumni returned for our Homecoming Dance on October 15, following the Manlius vs Sheffield game. The theme for the dance was AUTUMN LEAVES . To raise money for our senior trip, we again partici- pated in the magazine campaign, sold necklaces, had din- ners at noon, and had a Glenn Miller record dance. Again this year, our play, TWELVE ANGRY MEN , was held two nights--November 18 and 19, It proved very successful. The senior class was in charge of the conces- sion stand atthe football games and part of the basketball games at New Bedford. ln January Elaine Hartz was chosen as the DAR Award Winner. Two big projects accomplished this year were the pub- lishing of our school paper, THE DEVIL'S TALE , and the MIRROR, our annual. A May evening was the scene of our final prom. Our King and Queen reigned in pomp splendor through a long night. The juniors worked hard to make it a highly suc- cessful evening for one and all. Good things must come to an end. Sooooo, graduation finally arrived with all the homework, and other memo- ries now a part of the past. Our finalschool activity which we were all highly an- ticipating was our trip to New York City. This we lelt was a wonderful way to bring to a close our four memorable years at Manlius High School. Written by Patti and Betti Andersen THE CASE OF THE MISSING P RT ER As the scene opens in 1976, we hear the man sitting under a city light in the city police station, as he says, This is the city, I'm a city cop. DUM DA DUM DAAAA! ! ! ! l My name - Flatfoot Nordstrom. My job - finding my partner, Friday, who has been missing since Wednesday. Maybe some of my old classmates can help me find him. All Iwant is the facts. In order to get a clue, I started my investigation with the famous saxophone duet, The Andersen Twins, who just completed an engagement at the Chez Paree in Chi- cago. They sent me on the trail of the head waiter at that club who is none other than Skip Anderson. I asked him a few questions. The only reply I could get was. Who me? I don't know notin'. The only lead he could give me wasto go to the Tribune Tower, where I found an office door marked - Advice to the Lovelorn, Editor, Beverly Bruhn, Girl Reporter. I told her, I just want the facts, Mam. I left her office not with so much know- ledge of where Friday was, but at least I got some free advice in regard to any lonely hearts. I picked up the investigation with Rita Dell Cooksey, well-known for her work as director of juvenile delin- quency - school. Iremembered she was going to be a teacher, but didn't figure it would be that sort of teaching. She gave me my first real brake -whenlgot back to the squad car, I discovered it was mine. 11:25 a.m. - time for lunch. I stopped at a little res- taurant in the neighborhood - Richie's. It was one of a chain of restaurants run by a Texas oil tycoon,Richard DeBrock, another of the class of '56. Mr. DeBrock was not available for questioning, as he was in Texas watch- ing another gusher come in. 11:45 a.m. - Over a piece of apple pie, Ihappened to spy something walking in a fur coat, with dark glasses, being led by a leash attached to a poodle. It was none other than the script writer for MAD comics, Sophie Star- sand, alias Marlene Fordham. The only information she could give me was that comic books may jump to 3045. 11:46 a.m. - I rushed to the nearest corner newstand to get a copy of MAD Comics before the prices changed. Who should be running the stand? None other than Elaine Hartz, who, being a loyal citizen, gave me a hot tip by telling me to check with the Who Am l panel show over COW-TV. 8:00 p.m. - After getting picked up for speeding, I finally made my way to the studio and made special ar- rangements to appear for that evening. I arrived just as Richard Van Bevern was singing the commercial which put the program on the air. The first guest was a girl that wasn't sure who she was ever since she fell from her horse while riding in the English Steeplechase. After much de- liberation, the panel informed her that she was Marilyn Peterson, world famous horse jockey. Overjoyed at dis- covering her identity, Marilyn cried Hi Ho Silverl , and galloped from the stage. 8:10 p.m. - I received the signal that I was next on stage. As I came on the stage, Iwas greeted by the mod- erator, Mr. David Michlig, well-known broadway colum- nist. He introduced me to the first member of the panel who was Miss Snodgrass, currently starring in a radio pro- gram, Just Plain Bill . The next panelist was a gentle- man whose name was Thorp, known to all for his Pulitz- er Prize winning book, THE VIOLET TATTOO. The next two panelists were Miss Vetter and Miss Neidetcher, two well -known nurses - one specializesin right eye and ear and the other, left eye and ear. The final memberof the panel wasMr. Kinsley, world champion chess player. Itook my seat alongside the mod - erator and give them my problem: Who is my man Fri- day? Where is he and why isn't he working? This wide awake panel informed me that my man Friday was none other than Big Bill Chesney - DUM DA DUM DUM I I l The second part of the question stumped the experts. I told them I was just after the facts, so they sent me to the Polo Grounds in New York where the All-Star, All- Girl, eight-man Qwomanj football team was playing the Green Bay Packers in an exhibition football game. I got there just as the announcer was giving the line-up: Left end, Beth Swansong left guard, Beverly Truedsong center, Linda Jaquesg right guard, Theora Wiseman, right end and captain of the team, Pat Polsong left half, Kay Nelson, right half, Katherine Millerg quarterback, Edith Mueller. just as the announcer finished, I glanced at the bench and happened to see my man Friday, Big Bill Chesney, holdingawater bucket. Istormed over, told himlwanted the facts as to why he wasn'tworking todayghis answer, I'm your man Friday, but today is Thursday. This ended CaseNumber1956 ...... ....

Glenda Rogers During the year, we lost Frances Foy and gained Karen Peterson from Tiskilwa.

At the Tiskilwa - Manlius basketball game on December 16, a successful turkey-raffle was held. Following the game, an enjoyable evening was had at our dance. Our spring events, the Junior Play on May 4 and 5, and the Jr.-Sr. Prom on May IZ, proved to be a tremendous success. A good percentage of the students participated in sports, music, and the various organizations.

We started the year in September withthe informal initiation of Freshmen by having them wear aprons and tape measures around their waists. ln October we sponsored a Hobo Day. All of the girls helped by working for someone and then donating the money to our treasury. ln November, we celebrated F.H.A. Week by one day wearing macaroni necklaces: red and white colors: dress- ing up one dayg and wearing masksl That Sunday everyone went to church. visor - Mrs. Hugo Block, Treasurer - Theora Wiseman, Vice Pres. -Janice Johnson, President - Elaine Hartz, Secretary - Pa- tricia Polson, Parliamentarian - Marlene Fordham. At Christmas time each girl brought two or three cards which we gave to the Old Folk Home. The Crystal Ball was the theme for the F.H.A. Prom in January. Pink, white, and silver were our colors. ln the center a large wire ball with smal- ler tissue balls was hung. Pink, white, and silver balls hung from a pink and white ceiling. The orchestra was seated in an archway. The highlight of the evening was the crowning of the Queen Elaine Hartz and of presenting First Attendant, Janice Johnson, Second At- tendants, Beth Swanson and Rita Dell Cooksey with bows. In April the girls dated their Dads for an evening of fun. Games and con- tests were enjoyed by them in the gym. The Mother-Daughter Tea was held in the school gym. The main event of the evening was the style show put on by the girls who are taking home- making. The closing ceremony was the formal installation of next year's offi- cers. FRONT ROW: D. Durham, B.

The phrase, beyond a reason- able doubt , is the crux of their decision. What begins as an open and shut case , turns into an exciting play of con- flicting testimony, long arguments, mounting suspense, and finally a new murder threat. Tempers grow short and the jurors become TWELVE ANGRY PEOPLE. One truth- seeking man, in the face of total opposition, believes inthe defendant's innocence and drives relentlessly to convey an exciting, thought-provoking plan to a powerful climax.

THE HASTY HEART' The action of The Hasty Heart is set in an Army hospital in Burma, but itis less a war play than one about agroup ofhuman beings who just hap- pened to meet because of the war. It is heartwarmingly poignant, richly comic, and profoundly moving in its story of a bitter, lonely Scottish ser- geant with onlyafew weeks to live who has closed his heart to friendship and love .... and itis the story of how his fellow-patients finally win his friend- ship and a hospital nurse wins his love . The laughter and tears, the unqualified, enthusiastic praise were proof that our production of The Hasty Heart was the fine st play yet seen in Manlius. 47 ONE-ACT PLAY NAIRA DA CAPOM is LEFT to RIGHT: Laverne Salzmann, Barbara Stringer, Ron Nordstrom, Alan Davidson, Marlene Fordham, Jane Glafka, Anita Raabe. It is described by one writer as a brief but profound satire of war and war-makers. It is, indeed, a satire, in fact, a brilliant one. However, I believe that it is more universal than astudy ofwar. It is a play of symbol- ism, in which each listener can find his own set of values. It contracts the value of tragedy and comedyg it studies the forces of evilwhich lead to tragedy and self-destruction. The corruption ofbasic values of good which leads to tragedy of self-compromise and des- tructionis treated in this play in terms of a simple game between shepherds. However,in this very simplicity is the parallelwith the life situation .... from the simplest of beginnings can develop the forces which will destroy all we cherish. Ifwe consider this as eter- nal vigilance is the price of liberty we can see the parallelwith the causes of war. In the basic lesson of the play We can find the warnings and admonitions to guard these simplest and closest liberties , else we will lose other more valuable ones.

The gym was decorated differently than any pre- vious year. South of the Border was the theme. As you first walked into the gym, you found yourself on the porch of an adobe house, which con- tained card tables and chairs, and the el cantino or punch table. The false ceiling of blue and white was bordered by crepe paper streams of brown, orange, yellow, and tan, to carry out the Mexican theme. The orchestra sat in a Mexican cart pulled by a don- key. ln one corner was a bird-bath. Cacti were placed in various places all over the gym. Maracas were hung from the ceiling and the walls. The banquet was prepared by the Junior-'s mothers and served by the Sophomores. They were dressed in colorful Mexican costumes. Rev. Cook gave the invocation. A program was led by the master of ceremonies- Charles Hewitt. Janice Johnson gave the Welcome and Ronald Nordstrom gave the response. The class history was read by Marlene Fordham and Beth Swanson read the class prophecy. The boy's chorus gave a musical num- ber. Rev. Cook then gave the bene- diction. Dancing followed to the music of Doc Hunt and his orchestra. After the dance, everyone enjoyed a smorgasbord sponsored by Kraft. At 2:00 a.m. many attended the movie at the Walnut theater. They then re- turned to Manlius and had a very nice breakfast which was served by the Manlius - New Bedford fire depart- ments. in A get yr Q FOOTBALL ,ng 3 COACHES 4 my Bill Boyer, Bill Bushell The 1955 football season opened with 41 boys on the grid- iron.
