'Q fa I X Nm 'G 1 HOMECOMING DANCE COFFEE MAKER DELUXE SENIOR SNAPS KY N af Ac-Q el' SWING IT HEY FATMAN! fi MONEY! MONEY! MONEY! SCHNHDT'S SLY SLICKERS PRCPH ECY Often arises the question, What's behind the green door? Maybe we'll ind the answer somewhere in Manlius. And how lucky! We have just received an unexpected invitation from our old class- mate, Chris, to attend the opening of his new nightclub, Chris' Superbo Magnificie Ball Room. The nightclub's speediest chauffeur, Don, wasted no time zipping us to the ball room in his Jet-A- Way-Space-Mobile, invented by Curt, who also is famous for his Boyce Buggy which can be used in the water, in air, on land, or as a tractor, He says it will soon be the only type vehicle used in the world. Oh, oh, we find we must enter through an orange door! What a catty color! Dig the crazy door man--that's Deang leave it to him to wear those jazzy striped trousers. Before we enter the orange door, let's go in and talk to Dot and Glenda at their Dunk-it Shop. We find that they are both happily married. Look at those crazy sugar bowls--why, they're little red wagons. That must be Glenda's idea. Now let's go through the orange door. Who's that over thererby that palm tree? That's Norm! I guess some twigs from his forest ranger job got caught in his hat. Who is that be- side him! Why, it's that notorious Casinova, LaVern, the sailor with two girls in every port. And there is a strangely dressed fellow painting a picture of this mob. It's that world famous artist, Bill. And looking around we see several sports characters tonight. There is Chuck Hewitt, famous forhis coaching of the New York Yankees. Marie Cox is here and she is coach of the first woman's Olym- pic basketball team. Seated next to his wife, Donna, is Chuck Peterson, the farmer who revolution- ized agriculture by raising crops through six inches of snow. What's the rumble in the background! It's Cliff, experienced tobacco auctioneer and he is talking his usual mile a minute to Ron Sand- rock, a fur merchant. Well, the floor show is about ready to startg the orchestra is the Heart Beats led by Ron Henson and featuring Charles Hunt on drums fan ability acquired through drum- ming in classes at MHSJ Star of the show is Med--he is giving one of his great, dramatic love scenes. He has gained quite a reputation as being the second Rudolph Valentino. We see by the program that the choreography was done by Cephas, famous for his Califomia Bounce. The cos- tumes were all designed by the famous pace setter of fashions, Barb. As a special treat tonight we have Janice Johnson, singing her new, smash hit of So That's What's Behind the Green Door. Next on the program is Duane and his red and black trained bunnies. Looking around at the tables we find Karen and Jerry talking to Barb and John. They are discussing their families. Seated next to them is Fran Randall who was voted Homemaker of the Year. Why, there is the President of Cor- nell University and famed orator, Larry. He's talking to Nite, representative of Illinoisg Ihear she's trying to get the state of Illinois' name changed to She ffield. At the next table we see Eric, the rising young state's attorney from Florida. Ken, millionaire super market owner has stores in forty-eight states, Hawaii, and Alaska, we hear from Blanche, the head waitress. Blanche, in this job, picks up many juicy bits for Charlotte's gossip column. Charlotte is known for writing news be- fore it happens. To end a perfect evening, we visit the kitchen where world-famous chef, Jack, is preparing his grilled leg of lamb, the recipe for which he has been offered millions. As we leave in our customized car, another production of Stan, we still have not found out what is behind the Green Door but we do have renewed memories of our four wonderful years at good old MHS. 14 THE WILL SENIOR CLASS HISTORY I 953-I 957 In 1953, 37 green freshmen opened the doors of Manlius High to begin their first of four wonderful years.

We had two barbeque dinners, a record dance, hobo day, bake sale, coatcheck room at the New Bedford basketball games, a concession stand at the home football games and other projects. Our play, Down to Earth, was under the able direction of Mr. Milbum. Our final activity as a class was our long awaited Senior Trip.

Coaches Bill Bushell and Bill Jenkins greeted a hugh squad of forty-seven men on the first day of practice. Included in this squad were 12 lettermen, 11 of whom were seniors, the other a jimior. From the first day of practice to the last game, the team had great desire and hustle and were quite willing to work. In the pre-season predictions Manlius was tabbed as the top contender for the Little 8 Crown, while Tiskilwa, Buda, and Neponset were to provide the greatest opposition. We beat Neponset 56-14, shelled Buda 80-19, and flair ., ,lite f 5' , 'Lf 4 ,ff L. .rf I fy . 5 g If 25? .QW v gi 9 ' , X ' A Fr .pf ,. . gy! a, il ,, ' ' A A f' B 3 rf Q'34fw2f'??ff' if , fi' I f- W'5'-596, ' g ,ggi A Q ff ibm., r. . .41 fff' 'Ears COACHES: L to R., William Bushell, Bradley University, Assistant Coach, William Jenkins, Knox College. 34 racked Tiskilwa 32-13. These three scores ac- curately show how great a powerhouse Coach Bill Bushell asembled, both offensively and defensive- ly. Our offensive team Qwe used two-platoon sys- temj had speed, power, and deception, and could move in the air and also on the ground. Our line was big and fast and our backs were hard, shifty rimners. Don Johnson finished second in the Little 8 scoring, Medley Tornow accounted for nearly all the extra points scored. These boys formed the nucleus of our offensive team which averaged 51 points a game and was the highest scoring team in the state: Ends - Berry, Salzmann, Tackles - Christensen, Tornowg Center - Lubbs, Quarteroacks - Hewitt, Anderson, Halfbacks - Johnson, Henson, Peterson, Dabler, Neahring. Our defensive team was the best in the circuit. For the first time in a few years, we had a strong pass defense. No one came through our middle, not even the referee. These boys formed the nucleus of our defensive team which held our opponents to a total of 66 points all year: Ends - Salzmann - Boyce, Tack- les - Christensen, Neidetcherg Linebackers - Peterson, Lubbs, Halfbacks - Berry, Tornow. End-Norm Berry .-f -,:., Tackle-Med Tomow Center-Larry Lubbs ,JN V. vii J .Ur WE' In addition to capturing the Little 8 crown, we also played an eleven man game with Tampico this year. The team made the shift from 8 to 11 man in three days. Just how good a shift they made is shown by the score--Manlius 47, Tampico O. Manlius placed a total of 9 men on the annual all-conference team selected by the coaches. On the first team were: Berry, end, Christensen, tackle, Tomow, tackle, Lubb, center, and Johnson, halfback. On the second team were placed Salzrnann, end, and Hewitt, quarterback. Marv Anderson and Ken Neidetcher received honorable mention. The team elected Norm Berry and Larry Lubbs captains. Following is the games summary: Manlius 39 Ohio 7 - The season opener was a huge success as the team ran wild. Touchdovms scored were Johnson 2, Hewitt, Anderson Berry 1. Manlius 8OBuda19 -Manlius shellacked one of the top contenders for the crown as they ran away with the game. Johnson scored 4 TD's, all on rims over 25 yeards. Manlius 47 Tampico 0 -Manlius showed spectators they are ready for 11 man ball, Med Tomow scored 4 TD's. Manlius 51 LaMoiLle 0 - The Devils revenged last years defeat to the tune of Chuck Hew'itt's 3 TD's. Manlius 56 Neponset 14 - The Devils easily dis- posed of another threat. Johnson went 72 yards on the opening play. Henson had a big night with 3 TD's. Manlius 58 Sheffield 6 - Manlius rolled over the Cards with ease with several players scoring. Manlius 53Malden7 - Don Johnson led us by Malden by scoring four times. Reserves played entire second half. Manlius 42 Wyanet 0 - The socre was only 7-0 at the half as our offense bogged and the defense held. We erupted with five TD's in the secondhalf. Norm Berry and Chuck Hewitt scored twice each. Manlius 32 Tiskilwa 13 - Manlius won a hard fought championship game proving that they were the Little 8 elite. A group of seniors playing their last game led Manlius' offense and defense. TD's were scored by Johnson 2, Tomow, Henson, and Salzmann 1. FOOTBALL PERSONALITIES: Bill Bushell-Head coach, Coach has been at Manlius for five years and he hasn't had a losing season yet. Coach is a wonderful morale builder and a student of the game of football. He seemed to know how to get you to do your very best. We'll never forget him and I'm sure he'll never forget the many pranks we pulled on him, such as nigger-piling him and pushing his car tmder the goal posts. Bill Jenins-Assistant coach. Mr. Jenkins did a wonderful job here in his first job of coaching. I'm sure some of the linemen will say that no one ever worked them harder. Norm Berry-Norm was a tall, talented, glue-fingered end who also doubled as a defensive back. In addition to being co-captain, he made the all conference team. Med Tomow-Med, better known as Horse, was a fine tackle, kicked off, and played defensive half, he always seemed to give us the extra few yards when we needed it. He was an all-conference tack- le. Larry Lubbs-Larry doubled as center and as line- backer where he tackled hard. He was al1-con- ference team member, co-captain, and better known as Fubb or the Grey Ghost. Ron Christ- ensen-Chris, known as Wob, the Griuly Bear, was a big, mean, rugged tackle who loved to pick a fight. He was on the all-conference team. LaVem Salz- mann-Although Salz was on the second team, all- conference, he should have been on the first team. 35 Siwiif- I .-if-3' z f xv 'gif .7 EFF- f- uv 23K '? 4'f -15,53 Engng li , ja X.

Charles Hewitt-Chuck, quarterback, was our field general and was a fine rrmner and passer. He really made up for his hard luck junior year as a senior for he made the second team, all-conference. Don Johnson-Don, a halfback, was the fastest man on the squad and plenty hard to tackle. He was our leading scorer and made the first all-conference team. Ron Henson-Ron, a halfback, affectionately known as meathead, was a good hard runner in spite of his smallness. He was our second leading socrer. Chuck Peterson-Chuck, linebacker, halfback, was a hard tackler and a good runner. He was, among other things, a clown. Ken Neidetcher-This was Ken's first year and he really played ball. I-le was a hard tackle to move, he made honorable mention on the all-conference team. Curt Boyce-Curt, an end, had a pair of claws on him from which no one escaped. I-le was a very fine defensive player. Marv Anderson-Marv, a quarterback, played a lot of ball and was an awfully hard runner. He received honorable mention on the all-conference team. He was undoubtably the laziest player on the team. John Neahring-John, halfback, had injury trouble, yet always put all he had into one of his favorite sports. Jack Dabler-Jack, halfback, also had injury trouble, but still had the gumption to return kickoffs. Harold Ericson-Eric, a tackle, was always in there plugging and never complained, Guys like him helped strengthen the team. Cephas Bryan-Cephas, an end, was playing his first year of football and he played it with his heart. Charles Hunt-Chunter, center, according to Coach, was the only senior who never skipped practice. He was a guy with plenty of desire. Larry Anderson-Anywhere-Larry was a real triple- threat player. He could fall, stumble, and trip over his ovm feet. I-le is only a freshman but should blos- som into a real star. Half-back-Chuck Peterson Half-back-John Neahring End-Curt Boyce E fs r eu ,iff 1 A 4 p ng, .Aff 'X 'K gf? v ' if Qj?

Q Y 3 Coach William Bill Jenkins Graduate of Knox Great Thing were expected of the Red Devil cagers in the '56-57 season and the Devils have fulfilled these great expectations. The present team is com- prised of players who are, undoubtable, the best basketball players the Man- lius system has ever produced. Their history is quite interesting. Theystart- ed to show the mark of champions as early as the seventh grade when the team captured the Bureau County Lightweight race. At this time the boys had very little experience and they depended greatly on pure raw desire. They now have received the experience and have kept the desire. In the eighth grade the team split up, some played heavyweight and the others lightweight. The lightweights captured second place in the county and the heavyweights third. The heavies also captured second in their tourney. The boys then entered high school and in their first year helped compile an ex- cellent fresh-soph record. The next year Norm and Chuck were promoted to the varisty. The rest of the boys had an even better fresh-soph record than that of the previous year as they lost only four games. Last year was the greatest year in Manlius history Qnot counting this year, in which the Devils are making people temporarily forget last yearj. While winning 26 games, the Devils lost only two games, but one of these losses prevented state tour- ney advancement. This brings us up to this year. Before we continue, 1et's take a look at the personnel involved. BASKETBALL PERSONALITIES COACH BILL JENKINS-This is Mr. Jenkin's first year at Manliusg he is a native of Kewanee. Tufskin, as he is jokingly called, has molded a team which has made a shambles of the Little 8 loop. Coach believes in a good, aggresive defense and has changed the team from a racehorse style to a good steady style of ball. CHUCK HEWITT-The Little Giant is the key man in our lineup. Chuck, a senior, averages around 18 points per game and makes 461: of his shots. Chuck is a fine playmaker, our field general, and although he's only 5'8 he is a good rebounder, he also has a beautiful one hand jump shot. NORM BERRY- Tree , as he is known, was the team's big man. Norm, a 6'5 senior, scores about 14 points per game and is one of the best rebound- ers. He has improved greatly on defense this year and usually guards the team's bigcgun. Norm has developed a fine hook shot. MED TORN W-Med, a 6'3 senior, is our board man and a stellar re- bounder. Besides clearing both boards, Med also gives us a lot of points when we need them. Med was a rugged rebounder and gets the vote of most improved from last year. LAVERN SALZMANN-Salz was our best hustler and was great at picking up loose balls. He, too, can put that ball through the hoop regularly. Salz, a 6'2 senior, was always tieing up the other team's big man. x, ir Y 1' Med Tornow, LaVern Salzmann, Chuck Peterson, Jack Dabler, Ron Henson, Jim Rashid, Chuck Hewitt, and man- ager Tom Davidson.

He has a good jump shot and can drive well. Manlius will be lucky as he will be back again next year. LARRY LUBBS-Larry was our sixth man and a capable reserve. Larry, a 5'11 senior, was always around when someone fouled out. His main weapon was a two handed set shot. CURT BOYCE-Curt didn't have a consistent enough shot to play first string Curt, a 6'4 Senior, made things rough when practicing against the first string. JACK DABLER-Jack was a little too small to play amongstthe giants but he had a good shot and was a very fine player. KEN NEIDETCHER-This was Ken's first year of Manlius basketball. He found time to develop a fine fadeaway jump shot. RON HENSON-Ron was another small guy who really put his heart in- to the game. Ron had a good shot and only his height prevented him from playing more. Ron is also a senior. CHARLES HUNT-Chunter was out all four years and really put out all four. Guys like him in practice made the first team great. This brings us up to date-this year. Fifteen varsity candidates report- ed to Coach Bill Jenkins on the first day of practice. Included were 7 returning lettermen, 3 of whom were regulars from last year. The team, many of them fresh from football, spent the first two weeks working it out of their systems. The first game was Walnut and we beat the Blue Raiders 70-55. Hewitt was high point man with 25. We then trounced Granville and Wyanet. The next game was with our former coach, Bill Boyer's, Toulon Trojans. Unfortunately, we lost a heartbreaker by the score of 76-68 We won our next game from the Sheffield Cardinals. The next Friday we won a thrilling conference squeaker from Tiskilwa 77-76 on Med's basket with a mere 10 seconds remaining. Berry was high point man with 31. We beat Ohio for our third conference win. The Farmington Holiday Tournament followed. We first beat Galva and then lost the championship game to Farming- ton 55-45. They were unbeaten.

On January 11, we won another big conference game by trouncing Bureau. The next Friday we beat Lalvloille. Then it was Little Eight Tourney time. We were top-seeded and lived up to predictons. We beat Ohio, Bureau, and Tiskilwa in that order for the championship game. We then won successive games from Bradford, Neponset, Fulton, Tampico, and Shef- field. Fulton, a mighty important game, was spirit-building for they had quite a reputation. Everyone really played ball, and we won 56- 46. Our Fresh-Soph team also had an excellent season. Many of the boys gained valuable experience for next year. They were coached by Mr. Hughes and the following boys formed the nucleus of the squad: Har- old Miller, Roger Jones, Bruce Raabe, Max Chesney, Snorky Anderson, and Duane Martin.
