He spends many happy hours hiking through the woods. He enjoys athletic contests, especially golf, but did not mention his skill in this sport. J. J. ELLIS Vice-Principal Mr. Ellis spends most of his summer on his five-acre farm. Much time is spent in his garden where he raises beautiful flowers and fine vegetables. He also has a fine collection of fruit trees. S 1 , I ANGUS F. BARRY Vice-Principal H. W. LANCASTER Counselor The world of today is constantly changing. This change affects the lives and activities of every person. It is so rapid and widespread that the wisest of men do not try to predict the future. High school students should learn to make ad- justment of constant change in order to live in this modern world. High school students need a deeper under- standing of the fundamental issues of life. Parents and teachers usually make the explanations and help the students form their opinions and make their decisions. Every high school student should know an older person in whom he has confidence and in whom he can put his trust. This person will help bear the burden of solving vital problems. The high school student and his counselor should have a close, personal relationship and under- standing at all times. Page 27 -, .,.. .. .1 . ' 1 , v C. E. IRWIN Co-ordinator of Distributive Education Distributive Education was first introduced into the Kansas City High Schools during the fall of 1939. The first class was organized in Central High School and the students were definitely advised that the class was an experiment. Since that time the program has been expanded to include six high schools and almost a thousand students have been enrolled in the retailing COl.1I'S6S. We believe these courses have been helpful to students seeking part-time or full-time jobs. In a Survey covering the four months ending December 31, 1941, 1,383 students from various schools reported having been employed in stores with total combined earnings amounting to more than S56,000.00. Page 28 MABEL J. SAYLER y Financial Clerk Miss Sayler says her only hobby is work. She has plenty of work to do and enjoys doing it well.

Members of the class who were representatives of the Student Council have, by serving on the various committees of the council, gained valuable experience in leader- ship. Its members have entered actively into the various clubs, societies, sports and other phases of our varied school life. They have come to realize thevalue of their school subjects and of the extra-curricular activities. The sophomore class leaders this year were recommended by their respective teachers.

The instruction of the first part of the course is based on learning the fundamental prin- cipals of the trade, such as how to read and make drawings, use bench and hand tools, operate wood working machinery and to construct patterns for the moulding of castings that are made of various types of metal. Beginners work on simple pat- terns of one or two piece construction, as their skill increases they change to more difficult problems, such as split patterns with corebox for same. Many of the pat- terns for machinery used in other depart- ments of the school system are made in the shop. Information related to the trade is taught in the shop, all through the course. Safety as well as accuracy is particularly stressed in both machine and bench work. Both are important factors in the success of patternmaking. Besides patternmaking, a general knowledge of drafting, foundry work and machine work is gained. Few people realize the importance of the patternmaking trade, but wherever machinery and tools are used, much of the success of the organization will depend upon the type and quality of work done by the patternmakers. A large majority of the patternmakers are employed by large manufacturing com- panies in the production centers, where year round work and regular employment is provided. Due to the National Defense program, ample opportunities for advance- ment are offered to the master Pattern- maker. 1 1 1 .- Cabinet Making There are many opportunities in this trade to become expert in the manufac- ture of various types of household arti- cles, planing mill work and airplane work. Many articles for the Kansas1City schools are made in this department, offering actual working experience and preparing the student for employment in a commer- cial shop. The shop is well equipped with up-to-date woodworking machinery which compares very well with that of larger commercial shops. Drafting Drafting is considered one of the most important courses offered at Manual be- cause of its necessity to industry. In al- most every trade it is necessary to have carefully outlined plans so that the work- man may carry out the ideas of the archi- tect or engineer. The most accurate and easily understood method is through draw- ings. It is the draftsman's business to make these drawings. Since everything that is to be made accurately and economically must be made from drawings, the impor- tance of the draftsman as interpreter bletween thhe mind of the planner and the ds t workma is easilv a arent. ?fi,q3Cbv.W,..n ffl-. - Q. pp Page 63 Sheet Metal In the past few years the field of the sheet metal worker has become more ex- tensive due to the increased use of better metal working tools and equipment. Metal in place of other former building mater- ials is now being used. The field is not crowded and developments in the building trades offer increasing opportunities. The sheet metal mechanic manufac- tures, assembles, and installs equipment made of sheets of metal. Air conditioning, roofing, and cornice work are the types of work which are developed as specialized services. And now especially because of the war and increased production, oppor- tunities are great for metal workers. Everton Herman . . 4. 2. John Smith, Irving Woods, Harold Benner. J.

This shop is one of the best equipped shops in the city. It offers the latest equip- ment and the latest method in learning the trade safely and efficiently. The first year welding student is taught the fundamentals for the comple- tion of the trade. The second year student specializes in heavier welding, such as cast iron welding. The third year is given over to the study of bronze and airplane welding. In his final year the student receives training in both gas and electric welding. On the completion of the course in welding the student in this shop is placed as an apprentice Welder. There are many opportunities in this field and the demand for Welders, now more than ever, is unsat- isfied. Page 66 1. Roy Smith and Richard Chesney charging a battery. 2.

Instead of a four year course We now have a three. The first two years are Junior Auto Mechanics and Auto Elec- tricity. Along with the actual working conditions undertaken, there is a Related Trade Information course. The student enrolling for the Auto Mechanic's course is given one semester of training in the Junior Auto Mechanics shop. Here he learns the names of the parts of the automobile, their location and their functions and the proper selection of tools for each job. The planning of the job is important, as is also the ability to interpret a blueprint or a cut showing sections of an automobile. Since auto repair work consists chiefly of checking, adjusting and repairing worn parts the elementary phases of these are stressed. ' The second semester of the first year is devoted to elementary work in the electrical phase. Ohm's Law, circuits and Page 67 8.

The principles of gener- ators and motors are covered, after which the student is prepared for further training in the advanced shops. The second year is devoted to Auto Electricity of which Manual is fortunate 'ro have the most complete shop in the city. In this year actual working conditions are confronted. Engine Tune-Up , Carbu- retor Repairs . and Starter Service are the works dwelled upon. In the third year there is a choice between Advanced Auto Electricity and Senior Auto shop. Advanced Auto Elec- tricity is just what the name says-it's Motor Analyzing and Complete Engine Tune-Up . In the Senior Auto shop the student does Mechanical Work such as the overhauling of motors, lubricating chassis and adjusting brakes. Upon completion of this course, the student is then qualified to advance into the world of industry with all the assets necessary for a successful career in the vocation of auto mechanics. Page 68 1.

Dressmaking The dressmuking course offered by our school is Ifzr more than just sewing, for the students learn to adapt the prevail- ing styles ol' the season to the individual. The selection of fabrics and suitable acces- sories for these styles is encouraged. Classes are conducted as nearly as possible on the plan followed in commercial shops, emphasizing especially shop habits and ethics. Pupils take upon themselves the responsibility of sewing for others which is probably one of the most impor- tant factors in the training of a good dress- maker. Too, each year the student strives for greater speedg speed which has grown so important today in all commerce and industry. For instance, a certain period of time is set for putting in a hem and even for making a whole garment. This class is composed largely of advanced stu- dents working on projects of wool, rayon and silk, coats, men's shirts, children's gar- ments and alterations. Special projects are garments copied from commercial advertisements, hand work adapted to the current styles, and layettes for the Red Cross. 1. Mary Lou Jones, Fannie Calderone. 2.

The commer- cial artist sees a single drawing or paint- ing reproduced countless times. Formerly this wide distribution was condemned by the non-commercial group on the grounds that the great numbers produced decreased the value of the work. Slowly this gulf between the two groups has been nar- rowed. The objective of both is to create something of beauty. The commercial artist goes one step farther-he must create something that is not only beautiful, but something that will sell the product advertised.

Page 72 Electricity The course of study in the electrical machinery shop is arranged so as to con- tinue the electrical knowledge given in the other electrical shop so that the student may have a well rounded knowledge of electricity and be better qualified to do electrical work as found in the average shop in this locality. In this shop the student learns to re- pair, install and service all kinds of motors, generators, meters, transformers, fans and many other types of electrical equipment. The work is arranged on an individual basis and the student may progress as fast as his ability will permit. The students are juniors and seniors. The students of the shop are all placed at the end of their school year. They are found in a large number of shops as owners and supervisors. The superintendent of General Electric Refrigerator department is a graduate of this shop. Dan Alber, owner of Alber Electrical Construction is also a graduate. Many of the former students are in foreign countries working at the trade. The calls for electrical students are much larger than the number of students in these classes. Due to the rapidly expand- ing use of electricity now and in the future, and to the complicated nature of new equipment, the electrician will be required to have a more thorough knowledge of the trade, which will permit him to enter the trade at a higher wage. Since this is not a seasonal occupation the wages based on the year will be above the average earned by the skilled worker. These second year students work in the light and power wiring shop. There they receive instruction and are given experience in.all standard methods of wir- ing buildings for light, power and signal systems. This year the boys have been very fortunate in having opportunity to make several complete installations. Among these was the installation of 100-ampere service entrance, the wiring of the welding shop at R. T. Coles Vocational school, and the wiring of sixty benches for light and elec- trical tool outlets for the defense training center at Lathrop. Probably the largest installment made was the complete wiring of the new machine shop in room 101 at Manual. After having received instruction in performing the essential operations on practice jobs in the shop, the boys were able to apply the things they learned on these actual jobs which are now in service. The quality of the work compares very favorably with any contract job. The total value of the work would run into many hundreds of dollars. i 1 1 1. Identification for Picture on Opposite 'Page 1.

Page 73 Page 74 Machine Shop One of lVIanual's most popular and necessary trade courses, machine shop, has attracted many boys durinn the past year. .llue to the national demand for skilled mechanics of Various types, the import- ance of this course has increased. Three classes were held this year: one in the forenoon and two in the afternoon. In- structors are Mr. Smith and Mr. Hasse. The entire course embraces various branches of machine shop Work: instruc- tion in the proper operation of such ma- chines as the lathe, drill press, shaper, hand saw, grinder, and milling machine, and em- phasis upon measuring with micrometer and calipers. The object of the course is to prepare young' men to enter industry as machinist's apprentices. Page 75 l 1. William Wilmore and Marcus Crook apply their craftsmanship on the shaper. 2.

These boys not only work for our own school but have outside jobs, all jobs being done for the Board of Education. Their work chiefly consists of composi- tion and assembling type for the Builder , Craftsman , and other various printed material. Each boy is instructed how to operate each machine, and every boy is given a certain job to do. Some do their Work faster than others, but everyone concen- trates on doing the job well and accurately. When a boy earnestly starts a course in printing, it is not long until he finds that printing is a fascinating business, for each job is a little different from its predecessor. We, the student body, thank the print shops of Manual High and Vocational school for their splendid work and co- operation throughout the year.

This organization has as its basic principles, character, leadership, scholar- ship, and service. In determining a stu- dent's eligibility for this Society his scho- lastic standing, his personal rating, and his record of outside curricular activities are considered. At the close of each year, the students are installed in the Society, participating in a beautiful and symbolic ceremony. At this time each member is presented with a pin bearing the initials C. L. S. S. This pin is a real reward for work well done and signifies that the student is worthy of this high honor. Upper one-third ol: Senior Class I.

Writing poetry was the original purpose of the society, but at present its aims are to study and present the best forms of literature and to promote good fellowship. Each member is re- quired to contribute an original composition every semester and a special program is devoted to this work. Each term the initiation for neophytes is formal, solemn and full of symbolic meaning. The society colors are purple and gold. Bentonian members have always been active in school affairs and hold many responsible positions in all school activities. Every year the society gives a Bentonian Honor Pin to its outstanding junior, and presents honor certificates to the members who have performed their duties in the organization satisfactorily.

Among the solemn and impressive ceremonies each year are the initiation of the neophytes, the installation of officers, programs honoring special occasions, and the Senior Farewell program. I The society was deeply sorry to lose Miss Emma Kube as faculty adviser this year but is highly honored to have Mrs. Esther Price filling that office. The society flower is the white rose and the Athena colors are blue and white. Hi- Y Page 81 FIRST ROW-Bill Cohen, Robert Newton, Russell Dethlefsen, Ira Meshcon, Mike Wainstock, Charles Frazier.

It is sponsored by Miss Zula Chase, shorthand and typewriting instructor. Its devotees delve deep into the study of business practices and conduct. Membership is granted to seniors studying advanced shorthand and typewriting. Meetings are held twice monthly during the class period. In addition to the regular meetings, the club has had a skating party, a Christmas party, and other social activities. This year, the club adopted a pin selected by the organization last year as the stan- dard insignia-a scroll, crossed by a pencil, bearing the name of the club and year of mem- bership. Page 84 .gfzfer-Sociefy ance This year the literary societies-the Bentonians, the Athenas, and the Manual Society of Debate, banded together for their first inter-society buffet and dance. Table decorations followed the so- ciety colors and a portion of the gym was devoted to each society where they identi- fied themselves with pennants, streamers, and their own emblem. One table bore the colors of all societies along with patriotic red, white, and blue. Only society members and the faculty were present, but the attendance went above the goal set. The buffet lunch was a bright spot in the school year and everyone enjoyed himself. Entertainment was furnished by the most talented mem- bers of each group and the music by the W. P. A. band. Mrs. Ora Thompson and the Cafeteria ladies prepared the food, and decorations were made by R. A. Shoup's sign painting class.

It was a suc- cessful season for the Manual boys as they finished in a third place tie with the Central Blue Eagles. Only Northeast and East finished ahead of the Crimsons, both of which had previously downed the Man- ual cagers. Manual got off to a bad start as they dropped their first encounter to North- east, 21-22, and being routed in the second by Central, 29--155 but after suffering these two discouraging set-backs they found themselves, and were victorious in four straight games. The victims were: Westport, 27-22: Southwest, 24-233 South- east, 35-29: and Paseo, 22-133 but the Crimsons on their final attempt, trying vainly for the second place berth, dropped their contest to the East Bears, 14-24. The Crimsons placed two men on the All-Star teams: Russell Dethlefsen, for- ward on the first team, and Louis Deliuna, l guard on the second team. Ted Calfas was honored by being elected Captain of the Crimson Five this season. Coach McKeever has two promising prospects for next year in John Duggan, center: Jim Beauchamp, forward. Beau- champ's splendid marksmanship earned him a starting position this season, and he should find very little competition at that spot next year. John Duggan, although he entered only a few games, has shown that he is an up and coming center, and may prove to be one of the better centers in the league next season. Final Standing 1.

Louie was the top scor- ing guard of the league and played his best when the chips were down. Being one of the three returning letter men he was one of the key men on both offense and de- fense. His playing spirit and good sports- manship made the students from Manual very proud of him. When ever there were any pile ups or fighting for the ball, Louie was always the boy who was right in the middle of it all. EARL HILL Crisp passing and defensive ability were responsible for Deb's place on the starting line-up. Quiet and unas- suming, he was a vital factor in the Crimson attack as well as bearing a great responsibility on defense. His rug- ged determination and fine spirit ele- vated this slender senior to a high posi- tion in the esteem of his opponents as well as his team mates. JIM BEAUCHAMP Combining calm methodical play with fine marksmanship, Jim Beau- champ won himself a place on the team this year. He ranked third in points scored throughout the whole season, finishing under only two of the letter- men. This was Jim's first year and he is only a sophomore, so the Cardinals have a bright outlook on life, that is, as far as the next year's basketball situ- ation is concerned. JOHN DUGGAN Workhorse of Coach McKeever's reserves was this tall Irish lad, a junior. Nice rebound work and aggressiveness were his gifts to the team's efficiencyg while his cheerful attitude and unflinch- ing courage made him a favorite with fans and players alike. His performance was always creditable, regardless of the position or situation in which he found himself, and his service to the team was invaluable. TED CALFAS Throughout the entire season Ted sacrificed points and personal glory for his fellow cagers, but was amply re- warded at the close of the campaign when he was elected honorary captain. Dependability was his creed and the welfare of the team as a unit, his code. It is 'difficult to underrate the effect that his ready smile and competi- tive spirit had upon the indomitable Cardinal five. Page 89 RUSSELL DETHLEFSEN Russell Dethlefsen, brilliant little for- ward of the Crimson quintet, greatly helped the team to its four victories this season. His constant hustle and cool head made him one of the smartest players and ball-handlers in the league. The Mighty Mite was on the second All-Star basketball team last year and bat- tled his way to a top spot on the first All- Star team this year. He acted as captain in four games, and was high scorer of the teams on several occasions. Russell proved his value to the team by his great showmanship in the game with the Southwest Indians, When, with DeLuna, ace guard, withdrawn from the line-up, he unerringly lead a gallant team to a well earned victory.

Valuable experience was gained, however, and talent was discovered that may prove profitable to the varsity squad in future campaigns. ,ff its ego, in ,fu r l Q 1 -X Inlra-Mural Basketball The Lawyers, controlling all rebounds and showing a far superior passing attack, won the championship of the Basketball Tournament. Throughout the entire season they rang up decided victories and only once were they defeated. The members are: Salvatore Rinaldo, Bub Guarino, Paul Guarino, Harry Stein, Jack Tousa. Volleyball The volleyball tournament was an elimination contest and up until the cham- pionship set, neither the Knicknamers nor the Lawyers had lost a game. In the first game the Knicknamers scored a 15 to 13 victory. Then hitting a hot streak the Lawyers swarmed over their opponents 15 to 2, leaving the stage set for a thrilling third game. The Lawyers again built a large lead only to be overcome and defeated by the Knicknamers 16 to 14. The members are: Louis DeLuna, Russell Dethlefsen, Sam Shapiro, Ted Cal- fas, John Mangiaracina, Jim Beauchamp. Ping Pong Showing an overwhelming superiority, Soaky Rinaldo breezed through the elimination singles'to become the new school champ. He won the finals from Braile, but had his hardest competition from Bud Guarino, Later Bud and Soaky teamed together and won the doubles championship. These girls represented M. H. V. S. in tournaments with various other schools throughout the city. They participated in the Playday Program, and engaged in several sports, such as hockey, basketball, and volleyball. big' Page 91 rl- Ira Meshcon, Charles Ward, Frank Morgan, Carl Test- orff, Charles Frazier.

The Pep Club is constantly working to keep up pep in our student body and to give our team plenty of moral support at the basketball games. These efforts all spring from an interest in good sportsmanship at Manual. The club welcomes to its organiza- tion all who believe in its purpose and are willing to attend the basketball games at the Municipal Auditorium, wearing the Pep Club uniform. This year's games were highlighted by the appearance of the Pep Club in their white sweaters accented with crimson cardinals and the letters of dear old Manual across the front. Colors were bright, yells loud, and spirits high at all the games. Our team won four of their seven games and the Pep Club hopes its support helped. 3 OFFICERS President .....

Manual cadets led by their cadet of- ficers, marched in the Armistice Day Pa- rade. Our splendid battalion performed at Manual's open house with great success and set an example for future cadets. The rifle team of Manual competed against other schools very favorably. The Manual R. O. T. C. Battalion per- formed at the R. O. T. C. Circus of 1942. The Manual Battalion marched with the other city Battalions and for its part per- formed platoon drill. G Gfcfivlfies Among the R. O. T. C. Activities of 1942 was the active participation in the National Rifle Association. This is the first year to see the N. R. A. at Manual and it is rapidly rising to top place as an R. O. T. C. activity. At this writing the Manual R. 0. T. C. Battalion has not yet taken part in the R. O. T. C. Field Day. Knowing our Bat- talion, however, we expect it to reap many honors. Among them we hope to see the crack company, crack platoon, crack squad, and the best individual cadet. A vote of thanks must go to Sgt. C. L. Lane and the Battalion cadet officers for the fine battalion Manual has had this year. 73. 0. C G 3611!

This year sixteen girls repre- sent Manual High and Vocational School. In the fall of each school year, sopho- more members are chosen and, in order to acquaint them with the activities of the other girls, are entertained at a tea in the Club Rooms at the Sophian Plaza. At Christmas time older A. A. U. W. girls returning from college tell of student life and experiences on the campus and in- form them of the necessary subjects one should take in preparing for college. The Annual College Exhibit was held in March this year and in the spring a tea was given in honor of the seniors. Our sixteen girls have met several times with their sponsor, Mrs. L. E. Moyer.

The Student Council is the stiident government of Manual. It works for the better- ment and improvement of the school and student body. A representative and alternate are elected from each homeroom to attend the meetings which are held every two weeks. This year the Council has worked effectively to improve the conduct in the halls and lunch room, and for the general appearance of the school. The Sno-Hop, a winter dance, was sponsored by the organization, also. It is the desire of the Student Council that the entire student body offer sugges- tions and make recommendations to the representatives for the improvement of the school in order that it might be made a better place in which to work. Any student who wishes is invited to attend the meetings. The Student Council has been able to accomplish much because of the co-operation given by everyone in the school.

Page 108 School Play A light and playful comedy was Elmer with Howard Davis playing the title roll. It was a story of the terrible trials and tribulations a girl must endure from two haughty twins, unluckily her sis- ters. A high spot in the play was the superb performance of Spot, a nondescript dog. The twins were played by Virginia Leullen and Helen Derstlerg Susan, the unlucky girl, by Virginia Kovich. This was a marital entanglement in which the wife, Erna, in disgust, went home to mother, after a quarrel with her husband, Frank. The mixup came when Ed, a friend of Frank's, found four Erna's. His sister, and cousin and mother decided they would help him out by portraying Erna. The climax came when the real Erna returned home, ready to forgive and for- get and found the uncompromising sit- uation but- all's well that ends well. When infatuation takes its toll there is danger ahead! A secret rendezous was planned but each couple decided that the perfect place for their romantic antics was the same spot! The cast was headed by Iva Lee Miller as Jessie, and Howard Davis as Rupert. Lancelot by Robert Newtong Mrs. Curtis by Bette Speer and Ingoldsby by Charles Tyler completed the cast.

The Girls' Glee Club has contributed to many programs given here at Manual. This club is made up of sixty members selected from the Girls' Chorus. Its participation in the Open House, Christmas Assembly, its caroling in the halls and lunch room at Christmas time, and various other activities throughout the year have given it an enviable reputation. The Girls' Glee Club and the A Cappella Choir, combined with other high school choruses, offered patriotic songs for the R. O. T. C. Circus, May 1, in the Municipal Audi- torium. T 1 1 ..- Qvan-Gfmericmz eaque In September of 1941, the students of the Spanish classes of Manual voted to ask for a chapter of the Pan-American League. After this decision, officers were elected and a charter secured. Some of the aims of the league are to develop a sincere interest in and understand- ing of the customs and psychology of the Latin-American people, to do our part in creating a culture of democracy, to know our neighbors better, and to act, when traveling in Latin-America, as an ambassador of friendship. In order'to obtain these aims, and many others, it is necessary for the group to study the countries and to learn about the inter-related trades between the United States and the Spanish speaking nations in our hemisphere. A very interesting method of study is used. Each student in the class is given a country to study and report on. In this way each country is covered com- pletely as to its history, geography, social and economic problems. This has been the work entered upon this year in the Manual Chapter of the Pan-American League. OFFICERS President . . . . . . Robert Hindman Vice-president Malvina Martinez Secretary . . .

Gappeffa Ghoir The music department has had a very successful year, producing some of the most impressive programs in the history of Manual. The choir played an important part in the Christmas assembly offering six beauti- ful selections, with Emma Murphy as an outstanding soloist. The audience joined the choir in singing Silent Night at the close of the assembly. The choir also participated in the Thanksgiving assembly and a picturesque selection of Easter renditions was of- fered, with special groups singing duets and solos. The usual splendor of the graduation exercises will be enhanced by two numbers from the choir, and this year they have built up an unusually fine repertoire from which to make their selections.

On October 24, Manual students participated in a radio program, This Living World, over the Columbia network. -Nl The students and radio audience listened to a short playlet and discussion about Apprenticeship Training for jobs, from the New York studios. Following this our stu- dents held a roundtable discussion from K. M. B. C., using material gathered from the preceeding discussion and their own knowledge of trade training in Kansas City. High school students from all over the country participate in these broadcasts which deal with current events, government and history. The students selected from Miss Titterington's Human Relations classes were: Joseph. Wenta of the Electrical Machinery shopg Edwin Eshleman from the Light and Power Wiring shopg Evelyn Wilkerson and Charles Miller, Commercial Artg and Coleen Moore and Dorothy Blankenship from'Mrs. Farnsworth's-Dressmaking shop. Page 114 Page 115 gfeaffk Gemfer The activities of Manual's Health Cen- ter have expanded greatly this year. Cpening the year's activities were the health examinations given to everyone en- rolled in physical education and R. O. T. C. These examinations are given to detect physical defects, exclude cases of com- municable diseases, and form a program leading to the correcting of remedial de- fects. A vision testing program was carried out which resulted in four hundred vision tests. Likewise an audiometer test was given, resulting in three hundred and ninety-one tests. These tests are open to Freshmen and any upperclassmen who desire such. In February a new plan, which went into effect at Manual through the Health Center, proved very successful. Every Tuesday five students of Manual, are sent to the Don Bosco Community Center for dental work. Three hundred and seventy-seven tu- berculin tests were given in May. In addition to the regular activities of the Health Center, this year, a First Aid Class and a Home Nursing Class were or- ganized, both being Red Cross Standard Courses. The main purpose of the First Aid Class is to teach the students how to administer aid before a doctor can be reached. In the Home Nursing Class stu- dents learn the procedures in taking care of a sick person in a home. ..l,..

H. V. S. After Weeks of planning, the Sno-Hop finally emerged March 27, as an informal dance in celebration of our victorious basketball season. Unlike many affairs of this kind, the Sno-Hop was open to any student in the school and only required a ticket and a date. Couples danced to the W. P. A. Band under a gaily decorated ceiling of snow- men, sailors, and army boys created by the sign painting shop. Red, white, and blue streamers draped gracefully from a huge snowman in army uniform, served as a centerpiece. During intermission a fine program was given and then punch was served. Dancing classes were held in Mr. C. H.

Time: May, 1962. Situation: In the distance sound the chimes from a cathedral. Bong! Bong! Bong! -8 -9 -10 -11 -12. Midnight! Then-silence, and the chimes die away into the night leaving behind an unbroken uietude. A few hundred yards away I see a small fire burning brightly, and, being somewhat of a curious nature, I approach closer and prepare to find out just what is taking place. But suddenly I stop dead-still, my eyes.bulge, my mouth drops open, and all I can do is stand and stare. For there, in that desolated spot I see three figures. Figures did I say? I mean monstrosities. I've never seen anything quite like it before and never hope to again. I was told that witchcraft made its exit along with oil lamps, hoop skirts, savage Indians, and covered wagons. Even though my better judgment revolted, my eyes told me that there were three witches dancing around a caldron which bubbled merrily over the fire. And all the while they were chanting a weird song: Double, double toil and troubleg Fire burn, and caldron bubble. Not to be outdone, I put my fear in my hip- pocket and made my way close enough to hear what was going on. About ten yards from the unbelieveable scene I paused and crouched down in the shadow of a large tree. However, my joy was short-lived for no sooner had I made myself com- fortable than my foot slipped, I tumbled out into view and before you could say Jack Robinson three pairs of hands had seized me. They weren't going to allow a mere human being to interrupt their plans, so they dragged me over to a small sapling, bound me securely and returned to their ceremony. By this time I was very near the state of unconsciousness and my fear and curiosity were the only things that kept me from passing out entirely. Picking up their song where they had left off, they were soon lost in the enchant- ment of the thing. I, myself, felt drawn into it, and so with my eyes glued to them, it didn't take me long to find out the why and wherefore of the situation. First witch: fStirring in the caldron with a huge iron spoon.J Double, double toil and troubleg Fire burn, and caldron bubble. Second witch: Gather 'round the caldron in a ring. Like the elves and sprites, we sing. Third witch: This we must do-duty demands it Tonight's the night, all things command it. First witch: These students have worked for four long yearsg Inspired by praise, undaunted by fears. Second witch: We shall foretell of a future so full For these graduates of Manual High School. Third witch: So listen my children, and you shall hear Of the futures of all our seniors-so dear. First witchi: Now here is one we're proud to proclaim, It's Louis DeLuna, of nation-wide fame. As a basketball coach at Missouri 'U' Qyropfzecy He's tops in his field and other sports too. He instructs his boys with the greatest of care And they've established this motto Rivals Beware! A v Second witch: Well, bless my soul, sister witch. Here's the latest news on Jeanne Kovich: I here she's embarked on a worthy cause And one for which she receives great ap- plause. You see she acts on the stage and screen And her recognition goes not unseen. She's known by the men in all training camps As the 'Inspiration of War Bonds and Stamps! ' Third witch: And here's Ted Calfas, most popular boy. With him is Bea Childers, his pride and joy. Ah yes! They've really come up in the world, The banner of success for them was unfurled. He's a playboy, you know-and quite the gay kid. So carefree and handsome, from employment e hid. Until one day a rich aunt kicked the bucket Leaving to him a mere pawn ticket. So Ted went down to the pawn shop-alone And found there waiting, a slide trombone Of course, with girls, he's a killer-diller But for music, well, I'll take Glenn Miller. You know 'A fool every minute is born! And by golly it's right, for Ted old his horn To a famous musician who had wanted to find An instrument of this identical kind. He paid such a price that would make you stare. So, as a result, Ted's a millionaire. Now all he does is plead day and night For Bea to say 'Yes' and make everything bright! First witch: Now once in a lifetime a genius you'll find With brain and brawn and superior mind. You know him no doubt-he's John DeMott When he opens his mouth you can expect a lot Of intelligent answers on most any topic Scientific, mathematic, or philosophic. He went on to college, earned a Master's Degree. Now he's a Professor at a University. Second witch: Speaking of graduates of college and such Here's a lass we love very much. She toiled and worked and wracked her brain That she a scholarship might obtain. She really studied and her goal did reach On the college campus she was sure a peach. With Miss Kube as her model, and teaching W her art She got what we'd term a very fine start. Louise Walker, teaching History of the Nations I do declare, she has lots of patience, For since our great class has come and gone, Every student who entered is a poor moron. In brains and looks we have over-doses While they have nothing but freckled noses. Third witch: And then Francis Rush, -I know you recall He was a fiend for sports, mainly baseball. Over KCKN you can here him each day Firs Describing the happenings play by play. 'A timely throw from short to first As you drink Pepsi-Cola to quench your thirst! He's great there's no doubt, but aside from that, He dates Emma Murphy, who at last is fat, But that's the fate of an opera star, Or so I've heard from both near and far. You see, little Emma, as we called her then Wanted a few extra pounds, maybe five or ten, So she ate and ate 'til it became an obsession lI'd almost believe it was a profession.J And what d'ya think? Yep, she got her desire As she gained more and more, her voice went higher. Until in the end she weighed 203 And it's no task for her to hit high C. t witch: Bill Barnett is a man of renown In the political field he 'went to town.' He's our favorite senator, a sight to behold, When he stands up there so big and bold Telling the others just what he thinks. If a bill doesn't suit him he says 'It stinks,' But if he smiles and rubs his hands, Then he's all for it, and God pity the man Who raises a question against said bill For our senator will gaze at him until, The uncomfortable man retreats to his chair, Unable to stand his steely stare. No man can out-talk our gentleman friend. Surely youve heard him-the big bag of wm . Second witch: Thir My! My! Here's a change in the scenes and faces It's Esther Gilpin. And where of all places Do yiou think we might find this gay young ass To see what she's done to honor our class? She's a debbie now and the girl of the hour, At dances she's never a shy wall flower. She's ever so popular and as hard to keep track As the proverbial 'needle in a hay stack! She keeps the men guessing, and though they be nice, She never dates the same one twice. 'For if I do', she says to me, 'I'll give you one guess where I would be. You guessed it-another housewife, Tied to one man for the rest of my life. That's not for me, I'm no sappy, I'll just stay single and make them all ghappyj nv d witch: Now Russell Dethlefsen was one of the best Until he fell in love, like all the rest. Ginger is tops, don't get me wrong But she knew no music except 'the Wedding Song'. It didn't take long to teach it to Russ. It's finished now so why raise a fuss. They finally decided to 'take their vows' They livenon a farm and raise chickens and cows. First witch: Kit Sarmiento is an admiral's wife For Fishie went into the Navy for life. He had different plans, but take a gander At our own Glenn E. Gibbs, naval commander. She was true to her sailor boy Who knew no sweet nothings-just 'Ship ahoy! Avast ye swabs! Outta my way, I Page 133 For tomorrow is my weddin' day. As soon as I shoot just one more Jap And wipe the Axis off the mapl' Second witch: Patsy Stout, better known as 'Pasty' Was never one to be too hasty. So she worked patiently day after day Oh joyous Saturday-that means payday. Now this is a secret, so don't tell the mob, But sh-h-h-h, I think it's a steady job. Third witch: Firs Randolph Ward was a handsome usher But like any volcanic gusher He couldn't stay put for a very long time So he decided his fate by one thin dime. 'Heads, I quit-tails, I stay? But he dropped the coin and it rolled away. It rolled and rolled and he ran and ran fHe sure would have been a good track man.J He stopped it finally, and you can't guess where. In front of the offiice of the city mayor. Just then the mayor emerged from his den And prepared to enter a taxi, when, Sw-w-wish came the wind and z-z-zoom went his hat. Of course you know Randy's reaction to thatg He chaised the hat down and brought it back sa e. Now he's right-hand-man to our big chief. t witch: Evelyn Wilkerson is really a whiz, You remember that designing was her 'biz'. She's now the designer for a New York Shop Not one single gown has been a flop. When she gets an inspiration It's labeled as an 'Evelyn creation'. She's famous abroad and she's famous here, Her salary is fifty thousand a year. We see another-she's tall and dark, But dressmaking, not desigining is her mark. She's Dorothy Blankenship and equally as famous. She has that touch and you can't blame us For clamoring for her to make our clothes, To have her do it-goodness knows, Appointments are made months in advance, And then if you're lucky, you'll get the chance To have a dress made by these two And all society will envy you. Second witch: Fred Buis proceeded in the military line, And right beside him, many others you'll find. For Bob Hamilton and Eugene Cronemeyer And Vincent D'Angelo are Uncle Sam's flyers. Robert Wilson had a different perspective He's an army man, you know--selective. Don McDaniels is a bit more specific. He's with the fleet, somewhere in the Pacific. Third witch: Lester Catherell is still an ink-slinger, At the linotype he's a hum-dinger. Earl McClennan is another by rightg These boys owe a lot to Mr. White. I heard him say once, but I think he was foolin', His boys were 'so dumb it'd take years of schoolin' To get them graduated in any town! But they made it without having to burn the school down. To show their success, I'll give you a sample Of someone who really set the example. He's Vincent Tittone, a U. S. Marine, Who began as a private, but you've all seen How he got his commission and I'm willing to wager, Page 134 In no time at all, he'll be a Major. First witch: . , , Elizabeth Hale is engaged in hair styling, Her pompadours are most beguiling. She' highly paid and her work means Creating hairdresses for ladies of the screen. Second witch: l Q . Edith Gibbs is a great dieticlan . . In New York City for a famous physician. She makes out his charts for all his patients, According to the latest rations. Third witch: Here's one we don't quite comprehend, With service men she knows no end. It's Clara Ekstam and I do declare, It's a sight the medals she does wear. All branches of the service are represented, To their pleas for marriage she has never consented, . For if she shows favoritism to the Air Corps, The Marines would get mad and not write any more. And if the Army held first place, The Navy would fire on our training base. It's a problem you see, so she writes every day. To each one and then goes on her way. First witch: Frances Hines was a sweet gal And now she is Red Skelton's pal. It's a fact that she mimicked Ozzie Nelson o well They fired him and there's nothing to tell, Except she ad libs for Red, the dunce, Now we can all say, 'I knew her once! Second witch: Marirose Lawrence became a Chicago model, She walked with an air since she first learned to toddle. As she strolls down the street, people turn and stare. She's gorgeous, no less, and known every- where. Third witch: Ah yes! George Leong is a Colonel now. He works all day by the sweat of his brow. When he was an officer in R. 0. T. C. He didn't realize how hard it would be To have full charge of instructing these boys In the line of guns, ammunition, and convoys. For he is in charge of the high school train- mgg He drills his boys even when it's raining. For they must know the meaning of a command, If they would serve their Uncle Sam. First witch: Bettie McKelvey was a private secretary, Until Bob changed her mind and not being contrary, A She married the guy and settled down For a happy life in a small town. But active duty called Bob away, And she got lonesome, when day after day, She sat at home and twiddled her thumbs, Awaiting the day for peace to come. So she wrote a book in her idle time And from then on she began to climb. Now she is a famous author Her latest work 'Our General McArthur.' Second witch: Kenneth Peitz heads the Kansas City Star He's editor-in-chief, and from near and far He brings the news every day to our door- The latest on Dick Tracy and progress of 'the war. Third witch: Carmelo Guastello and Josephine Miller Are a dancing team at the Hotel Villa. And that fleet-footed Mercury-Sam Sha- piro Has championships from Texas to Ohiog In north and south and east and west, Of all the trackmen, he's the best. First witch: Howard Davis is nobody's dope, He's in the same class with Bob Hope. As 1 coanedian he rates with the best in the an , When hs makes an entrance he gets a big an . Of course we knew that, from the very start, He'd be famous even though not very smart. In math he was awful and in English plain dumb, And in music, why, he couldn't even hum. But in speech and drama he sure was a comer, He talked all the time in winter and summer. On Tuesday night, throughout the nation Just tune in on your favorite station. You'll hear him crack pun after pun, At making folks laugh, he never gets done. Second witch: Bob Newton and Mary Delight Are the ideal couple in any light. They used to have trouble all the time lAnd even though this may not rhyme,l You know Bob was the biggest flirt, He'd flirt with anyone who wore a skirt. But Mary finally broke him of that, She said 'You stop it or I'll leave you flat! And sg: they were married and lived happily a ter, Each day is filled with fun and laughter. Third witch: William Stone is a Congressman, too. To him much honor and tribute is due. He lowered our taxes, and built a playground For the poor kids that live in the town. He sounds so convincing when he talks That none of his friends has the heart to balk. His work is so good, that from what I heard, He could sell snow to the snow-birds. First witch: If I named everyone who gained honor and glory It would take years to finish our story. So now we'll close and get out of here Before we get kicked out on our ear. And with this last remark, the witches turned from the fire and began to make their way toward me, slowly, deliberately, as if they de- lighted in torturing me as much as possible. And all I could do was sit there and watch them ad- vance. Closer, closer, closer they came and my fear mounted with each step. Soon, they were right in front of me, now bending over me, now I could feel their hot breath on my face and neck. Suddenly, I could stand it no longer, I lurched away from them, and screamed as loud as I could, and, guess what? ? ? ?? I woke up with a start and found myself lying on the floor of my own bedroom. It had all been a weird, terrifying dream. And far too realistic for my part. You see their hot breath on -my face and neck was only that of my dog, who had noticed my unrest and was trying to help me by licking my cheek. Of course, some of these things I dreamed up may come true yet, but if they don't-please don't hold it against me. .-H-.. Page 135 Last Will and Testament of the Senior Class of 1941 -42 We, the undersigned seniors of the greatest and mightiest class ever to lend its honored presence to the halls of Manual High and Vocational school, hereby will our magnificent, unsurpassed talents to these measly juniors who will probably Work until doomsday to achieve our glorious record.

I, Fred' Buis, leave my presidency of the Senior Class to-well, let's wait until next year and let fate take its course. I, Bettie McKelvey, editor of this magnificient volume of achievements, will it to any dope who craves excitement and responsibility.
