This was in 1908. In 1925, this faculty member left Manual, and became Vice-Principal of a newly-built school-Paseo High School. He remained there for eighteen years. Last year, he returned to the school where he once was a faculty member. This time he became Principal of Manual High and Vocational School. Our new principal, Mr. Harry R. Shepherd, represented Kansas City in 1925 in the formation of the Missouri State High School Athletic Association, and is a member of the honorary professional educational fraternity, The Phi Beta Kappa. Mr. Shepherd has always been interested in young people and their activities, and firmly believes in them. Recently, he stated, Above everything else, I desire to make Manual High and Vocational School a democratic institution where every boy and girl has an opportunity and chance to grow and develop as a good citizen. We are proud and indeed privileged to have lVlr. H. R. Shepherd as our new principal. Page 7 Grace Riggs Vicd-Principal Page 8 1.

It was the good fortune of the faculty and students of Manual High and Vocational School to be assoc- iated for the first five years of the life of their school with a man who possesses these characteristics,-O. H. Day. The foundation which was built during that period bears the imprint of his service as a leader, of his sympathetic under- standing of boys and girls, of his belief in the ability of young people to become worth-while citizens of the world, and of his sincere conviction that, to be a member of the teaching profession is, indeed, a privilege and an opportunity. Those five years will ever be a pleasant memory to us who know Mr. Day as a friend and co-Worker. Page 10 . R..

Each trying for the first time, his new-found wings, seeking to attain the goal set for him in his chosen profession. As we set out to put into practice that which we have accepted as truths from our teachers, we leave these thoughts behind: Seems only like yesterday that we came, To struggle, to strive and to grow, To eagerly grasp the threads before us, While a pattern of life, we did sow. And as we built, we made mistakes Our dreams were shattered ere long, But sweeping them up, we started again, Till our framework was steady and strong. Now we stand on the threshold of life, We've come to the parting of the way, You will go your way, and 1 shall go mine, But time, as ever, with us shall stay. The Past, with memories, is left behind us, The Present wlill soon be a part of the Past, But the Future is ours, to work and achieve by, To cherish our memories to the very last. 9 if 5 Q Q Robert Allgaier Channing Allen Maude Allen Wilma Allen Charles Ames Bill Bailey 5 Richard Barnes Ralph Barreca james Baysinger- eizior afelzdar September 5, 1944 . . .

With the help of its sponsors, Miss Helen Spencer and Mr. Deane Smith, they settled the dues matter and went on to more pressing things.. This year the Junior class is said to be one of the most outstanding and most intellectual class of juniors that this school has ever had They have some of the most popular people and most intellectual people in their class. This year the Junior class, as in years past, will sponsor the Junior- Senior party which will be one of the gala affairs of the school's year. All Juniors look forward to that party as do most of the seniors. The class is also the backbone of Manual's newly organized Service Society, which is of great service to our school. In the future years the Junior class will also sponsor mixers and paper drives to help speed collection of money for Junior-senior party. In 1946 the Junior class will look forward to bigger and better things as the senior class of this great high school. KKKMKQKKKMKM 441 fi 94 ROW 5. ROW 4. ROW 3. ROW 2.

L aDelle Hayes December 14, the Sophomore Class of 1944-45 sponsored a mixer in honor of the Freshmen. Sophomores were charged admission, but Fresh- men were admitted free as a gesture of welcome to Manual from the Soph- omores. Refreshments were sold. After eighth hour, a program was given. Alvfina Rasche, Marie Pal- mentere and Katherine Uacioppo gave their version of Take it Easy' 7 with the 'l'rolly Song for an encore. Other vocals were Barbara Smith, who sang Always, Susan Camerino, who sang Back in the Saddle, an :imitation of Carmen Miranda. At the end of the program, Carl Richards , President of the Freshman Class, thanked the sophomores for their hospitality. After ninth hour the basketball team came in and bought some refresh- I'1'1eI1tS. This year the sophomores challenged the Freshmen to a stamp-pur- chasing contest. The outcome was based on the percentage of pupils buy- ing not on the amount purchased. The contest began January twenty- third and ended February twentieth, covering a period of Hive Weeks. The loser gave a party. The Sophomores won, naturally! Page 28 KKMKKKKMKMKM ROW ROW ROW ROW ROW Soplio mo res 1. June Ifiisliie, Iii-vc-ily liyerly, C'ai'olyn Tai'ai't1i'a. Don Yi'ir'ent.

Martha Swink, Virginia Homan, Carl Richards, Mary Ann Brailie There are four hundred and seven members of the Freshman Class this year. Early in the year they organized themselves under the spon- sorship of Mrs. Mary Margaret Groves, Mr. W. O. Shoftstall, and Miss Mildred lVleuser. Each freshman home-room elected a member to the executive committee, which served as a planning group for the class activities. The members of the executive commitee are: Ernest Pasley, Le Roy Trapp, Allen Corbin, Jimmy Palminsino, Nadine Russell, Yvonne Miller, Martha Swink, Jean Cunningham, Dixie Poe. Carl Richards, Virginia Holman, Mary Ann Braile, Dwight Seits, Donald Rinehart, and Kenneth Wyman. From this group were nominated candidates for the class officers. Ballots were printed and distributed to each home-room, The following oificers were elected: Carl Richards, presidentg Martha Swink, vice- presidentg Virginia Holman, secretary, and Mary Ann Braile, treasurer. Two special assemblies were planned by the class for the purpose of orientation. At the first of these meetings Miss Grace Riggs talked on school regulations and rules of conduct. At a later meeting Miss Emma Klibe explarined the importance and significance of the National Honor Society and lVlr. lvl. W. Lancaster discussed the personal growth card. A pleasant social event was the mixer given by the Sophomores for the Freshmen in the girls' gymnasium. The entertainment consisted of dancing and an excellent program of songs and dances. Light refresh- ments were served. The last of March the Freshman reciprocated by inviting the Sophomores to a similar afternoon of good time. This affair served two purposes-to pay a social obligation and to pay a debt. The Freshman had been challenged by the Sophmores to a five week contest in the purchase of war' stamps and bonds and lost. The mixer was the penalty paid for losing. The spirit and enthusiam of the Class of Forty-eight is unexcelled. The members of this large class are looking forward eagerly to four happy and profitable years in Manual together.

I, Wilma Allen, leave my agreeable ways to all members of the Junior class in order that they may make as nice a Senior Class as this one. I, Bill Baily, of beautiful blonde curls fame, bequeath my popular position to this year's Junior president, Leonard Beck, who can never hope to give as much competition to Goldie Locks as I have. I, James Baysinger, with great concern, contribute my sleek manner and manly physique to Joe Castriani, who has my permission to use it dur- ing his senior year to try and gain the feminine line of admirers that trail me. I, Charles Blanchard, with my usual carefree manner, leave my ability to out-scream anyone in a debate to that shy Junior, Jimmy Beavers, know- ing that after I am gone someone will have to win all of Manual's debates, and if you don't believe me, just ask me. I, Lila Boswell, prettiest blonde to adorn these M. H. V. S. halls, give up my position to Joan Parks, already a blonde but not half as cute as I. I, Doris Boyd, pass along my easy manner to Kitty Edminston, with the knowledge that she can never make as many friends as I have made with same.

I, Lois Capps, bequeath my trim figure and cute strut to Pat Kerr, realizing full well that it will take much more than these to make her the beloved person I am- I, Mary Ann Camarata. Giggles to my friends, leave my sense of humor to Antionette Christiano, who has yet to learn how to laugh as heartily as I. We, the Cherrito Twins, best reason known for the phrase double take, leave our sweetness and vocal ability to Dean Smith, so that she may use them to vamp the remaining boy population next year. I, Charlotte Coleman, alias Dead-Eye, leave my Pepsodent smile and gorgeous eyes to Gloria Dockery. trusting that she will never be able to give as much justice to them as I. I, Joe Como, leave my charming ways and happy laugh to Manuel Blando, knowing that it will take all the laughter he has, plus mine, to bring him through his Senior year the likable person that I am. I, Charles Conwell, acquiring my fame in the field of football, leave my masculine build to Joe Ferrantelle, to help him take the bumps he will get in next year's games. I, Anna Crocker, the darling that I am, stept aside, as the cutest thing in slacks and peppiest tornado at Manual, to give room to that meek Junior Rosamond Miles. I, Dorothy Davis, with my beautiful long eyelashes, will my sugar and cream complexion to the school cafeteria, because I know the food supply will be cut shorter next year. , Page 36 if 5 I, Vesta Deason, often called Puggy , will my baby face and lovely wardrobe to Marilee Buck, who can never hope to wear them with such taste and wow as many people as I. I, Molly DeLuna, leave my great athletic ability, my congenial smile, and shapely legs to Betty Hames, whof try as she may, can never win as many friends as I or get a guy like Gerald.

We, the Fajen sisters, have decided to leave the entire Junior class our good will and best wishes, as what is needed more to help them compare with This Magnificent Class of '45? I, Wilhelmina Freytag, leave my title as Best Girl Student to Betty Tankersly, knowing that she will cope it anyway. I, Roy Graham, Honorable President of this Magnificent Senior Class, will my proud position to ----- -your guess is as good as rnine. I, Jean Harbison, taking my place in the Red Head's Hall of Fame, along with Greer Garson, Rita Hayworth and Ann Sheridan, do hereby give up my position to Jean Jones. I, Ralph Indin, Best Boy Student, bequeath my knowledge, my good- looks, my magnetic smile, and all my other Wonderous aspects to Eddie Zigler, unworthy but not entirely hopeless Junior. I, Beverly Jennings, greatest competitor to Betty Hutton, leave my great talent as a humorous impersonator to my sister, Mary Jennings, as then we can keep it in the family. I, Edgar Kennedy, will my unsurpassed talent of writing looney poems to Roy Long, realizing that it will take all of his efforts, endurance, and stamina to produce the authentic poetry that I have, and thus place him in the ranks along with the rest of us, Longfellow, Shakespeare, and Kennedy. I, Vito Labruzzo, leave my pleasant voice Cno relation to Sinatral and my love of Deane Smith to Frank Armata, making him sign the pack in blood that he will not trifle with her affections and return it to me when I desire. I, Catherine Lombardo, leave my ability to look beautiful without any make-up to that Junior, Emma Rocha, who might be able to follow in my footsteps if she gets Sherlock Holmes to help her. U I, Margaret Mather, leave my adorable dimples and turned-up smile to Pauline Odom, with the hope that she won't turn them down. I, Frank Montaleone, Atlas III, leave my wardrobe of zoot suits to Rudy Estevez, who will have a hard time trying to wear them with such fashion as I and fill them with such a beautiful body as I. I, Red Moulder, better known as Genius Number Two, fsecond only to Betty Thurmanl leave my superb, magnificent, collossal, and elegant pre- formance as All-Star Athlete to the entire team of next year, as I know it will take at least 12 players to make all the'points I piled up and to equal my undescribable ability in handling the basketball. To that Man of Men, Bruce Webb, I leave my hook-shot, with the hope that he will be able to Page 37 X KKKKM ff 5 KKMMK break all scoring records and bring even greater glory to Manual High than I have. I, George Norwood, leave my power of argument and numerous offices to Harold Newkirk, to take up where I leave off. I, Robert Pepper, greatest rival of Lawerence Tibbett, bequeath my deep , stiring voice to Morris Cohen, hoping that by the time he reaches his Senciorship he will be able to give forth on the vocals,like I have been able o o- I, Lilliam Phillips, with tearful eye, pass along my lovely, soothing, come-heather type of speaking voice to Nadine Toman, hoping that she will be able to talk herself out of more predicaments than I. I, Elizabeth Pileggi, will my beautiful Ponds hands, with their llfginch nails, to any silly Junior who wants to take the time and trouble to keep them thus. o I, Arthur Proffitt, of the Corny Jokes Department, give up my posit- ion as Best Boy Actor to that measley Junior who needs my sense of hum- or, Herbert Skillman.

I, Elda Reed, will my great oratorical ability to Shirley Penechar, as I know that she has a strong, pleasant voice tht could be developed into a really great voice if she tries as hard as I. I, Paul Rheuark, master in the arts of Science and Women, abandon my many positions to LaVon Coffey. Since it will take more than one simple Junior to fill my many offices, I shall let Ray Bengert share the partnership with LaVon and trust that the two may do justice to my stations. I, Ruth Riggs, leave my quiet ways to the entire Junior Class, as I know the teachers want me to do so. I, Louis Scimeca, with the cutest grin at Manual, leave my car keys to Nick Pizzichina, to do with as he may, as I have no more gas coupons. I, George Scott, speediest basketball player Manual ever owned, will my suave manner and one-handed shots to Dean Hamilton, knowing, of course, that he can never hold a candle to me. I, Peggy Starns, most loved and honored girl at Manual, will my collection of offices, my popularity, and my Betty Grable figure to Lois Leong, who has yet to learn the tricks of the trade. I, Betty Steppleman, will my many service emblems to any Junior who thinks himself as capable of earring around the load as I. I, Margaret Sumner, just call me Young Lady With The Horn with my trumpet sending so sublime will my talent with the brush to Olive South to paint and paint until she is blue in the face. I, Betty Thurman, Editor of This Modern Version of Shakespeare, and cutest spitfire ever to rock these M. H. V- S. walls, bequeath my great speaking ability to the Van Johnson of Manual, Professor C. C. Fairchild, to distribute equally to all his students next year and my magnetic, pers- onality and unending pep goes to Dorothy Van Vleck, so that she may cheer the boys next year.

In her honor, the first members of that organization voted to adopt the name Laureate Club. In later years as the sponsorship and chief purpose changed a new name was adopted. The purpose of the Laureate Club was to write poetry, and from the pens of its members came two volums of verse, affectionately dedicated to their founder and constant inspirer. Today the purpose of the Bentonian Literary Society is to study and present the best forms of literature and to promote good fellowship. Membership of the Bentonians is made up of students outstanding in their classes and active in school affairs. At the beginning of each year those already belonging select a group of candidates for membership to whom they send bids. Those who accept the invitation to join go through an initiation ending with a solemn ritual which is one of the major events of the year. V Purple and gold are the society colorsg their emblem is the flaming torch. These colors and the torch have symbolisms that are used in all of their rituals. Many members wear purple satin jackets with the society's name across the back in gold felt letters.. Each semester every member is required to contribute an original composition, either prose or poetry, which is given on a special program. At the close of the year the outstanding member receives the Bentonian honor pin. To those members who have performed their duties satisfactorily honor certificates are awarded.

The Maual Society of Debate holds the reputation not only of being the oldest Society in Manual, but of being the first society organized in any Kansas City High School. Members of this all-boy club have always been active in school affairs. Pan American Manual's chapter charter of the Pan-American League, an organisa- tion maintained by and throughout the twenty-one Pan American Republics, was applied for by members of the Spanish class in September, 1941. The charter granted, officers were immediately elected and the organization set up. Only Spanish students may belong to this club, as its purpose is to learn more about the Latin American countries, most of whom speak the Spanish language. Its aims, stated briefly, are: the development of a sincere interest Jin the customs and psychology of the Latin American peo- ple, to do their part in creating a culture of democracy, and to know the South American neighbors better. During the few years of its eXistence,members of the club have ac- quired much useful and interesting information about our friends to the south. The Pan American League is sponsored by Miss Nina Drake, Spanish teacher. Page 46 ROW ROW ROW ROW ROW I I' V , , A. e 1 , 2 !.

Organized in 1934 by combining Demosthenes, a boys' public speaking clulo, and a girls dramatics organization, the M. F. D. L. has held its pop- ularity in its ability to organize and promote good fellowship. Each year this club sponsors a freshman, sophomore and a junior- senior oratorical contest, and after dinner speech and extemporaneous talk contest- The winners are presented with medals. Their adviser, Mr. Fairchild, feels that this organization has made a great contribution to the school by sponsoring these contests, thus giving students the chance to improve their public speaking ability through friendly competition.

This sport was cancelled eight years ago because there was lack of inter- est, but this year fifty boys were out, and by next year this will almost double. We were not permitted to play in the league, so we scheduled games with out of town high schools. Our coach for this year was. Mr. Oliver. Along with Coach Oliver was Coach Shofstall- These two men scheduled games with some of the finest high schools teams in this territory so as to give us the experience we needed. For most of the boys this is their first year of football, and although we failed to win a game we gained valuable experience. The majority of players are Sophmores and Juniors and with this to look forward to we are assured that Manual's football teams in the future will surpass that of the teams in the past. We hope that the interest in football will not die away as it did eight years ago, and that the student body will again take interest and support our team. 1944 Football Schedule Southwest . . 64 Manual . 0 Platte City . . 7 Manual East High . . 54 Manual Rosedale 52 Manual Turner High 40 Manual Wentworth M 66 Manual Page 51 0 11, ff, 7, Hz, XXL- 6 iz, KL.

Central tied the score with a free throw and for the remainder of the regular time both teams failed to score. The fourth quarter ended in a 40-40 tie. In the overtime, Central scored on a free throw which set them ahead. Barker, for Manual evened the score with a free throw. Then Gerald Russo fliped in a beautiful one handed shot: to put the game on ice for Manual. Cenral had a chance to tie the score when Scott of Manual fouled Holm of Central. Holm made his first free throw to come within one point, but his second failed to register. Bruce Webb was the high scorer for Manual with 19 points, making the latter 10 during the fourth quarter.

His basketball record includes six years at Glasgow Missouri High School, where lmis teams have won four regional tournaments. True, we didn't win first place this year, but our experienced coach, with most of the boys back next year, promises a very successful season. Good luck, Coach Shoftstall, here's hoping you're back at Manual for a long spell. H. W. LANCASTER Stepping into the position of Athletic Manager was this financial Wizard. Mr. Lancaster, not only succeeding in raising the sale of basket!- ball tickets above 3500, but also succeeded in paying back a big hunk of the debt owed for football equipment. He also saw to it that the pep club was always there in good yelling voices and, he, himself was always at the games smiling and rooting for Manual. The Athletic department is indeed fortunate to gain Mr. Lancaster in its midst and with him controlling the purse strings they'll always know where the next! meal is coming from. DEAN H. SMITH This distinguished gentlemen has been at Manual for a long time. He hasn't much to say, but what he accomplishes is worth much more. This year, Coach Smith took on the job of Swimming Coach and brought the team around in fine shape. Coach Smith has a son playing for Southeast but he still proves to be a Manual booster. L. E. OLIVER This well-liked person changed his position this year, from that of Athletic Manager to that of coaching football. Just like the game, this gentleman returned to the field after many years of absence. Having played the game himself for the Navy, we may be assured that many championship teams will be turned out for Manual with Mr. Oliver as our Coach. kksikkfkkkkksi ROW ROW ROW ROW ROW 2. 3. 4. 5.

Each of the public schools was represented by fourteen girls. The games began immediately after the captains of the different teams drew numbers to determine their opponents, ours being Southeast. Southwest and Paseo. Our first game was with Southwest. Win , was our motto, and win we did! Manual's girls handled the ball with great skill and in the second game brought the score with Southeast up to 18-21 before the game ended. The last game was tied after a very exciting period. During the game you could see flashy red socks and newly whitened tennis shoes dashing accross the court and then above all the other noises you could hear our captain, none other than Betty Thurman, yelling these two familiar phrases, Play your positions, and watch that net. If only you couldl have been there to see the games you would have enjoyed yourself thoroughly. Sportsmanship was shown by every girl After the games were over, the different teams were directed to the cafeteria and served a very lovely luncheon, and then entertained by enterained by our hostesses. If you like sports, to meet people, and to see good sportsmanship, remember to try your skill on volleyball. You'll enjoy every minute of it.

The uses of electricity in every day life are so numerous that it would take several pages to enumerate them. Trained mechanics will always be in demand in this field and it is not a seasonal occupation. The second year of the course aims to give instruction and practice in the standard methods of wiring buildings for light, power and signal systems. The third year pupil learns to repair, install and service all kinds of motors, generators, meters, transformers, fans and many other types of electrical equipment. The pupils enrolled in this course learn the fundamentals of pro- duction work which is so important in the industry. There are many oppor- tunities in this trade to become expert in the manufacture of various types of household articles, and to become familar with the practices used in construction work. The instruction in the first part of the course is based on learning the fundamental principles of the trade, such as how to read make drawings, use bench and hand tools and operate woodworking machinery. Saftey as well as accuracy is particularly stressed in both' bench and machine work. Page 69 V . V . . , . l , . , 'L kg l to Ag 'Qi .4 K' -Q' K Y: 'rg g n 'K 3 B - - 'fx 1. s 4 .L -' - N' fir- , H.

It offers opportunities forlmany different types of 'obs The training in the printshop enables a pupil to practice on the mac- J . . hines and jobs they will perform in dustry. There are three sections of the ' ' ' th : d one hi h speed shop work. The first one is hand composition, e secon g press work and the third linotype. Pupils are instructed how to operate the machine and considerable time is devoted to instruction in setting up type and arranging printing forms. l The operation and repair of te machines and tools used in industry depends upon the practices in the machine shop. Pupils who have some mechanical ability, and aptitude for using tools and an interest in correct machine operation, yill probably be successful in this line of Work. Skilled mechanics of various types are always in demand, and We have many ' ' ' ' V ' ' en in the requests for part time machine aperators. Instruction IS giv proper operation of lathes, drill presses, shapers, povversaws, grinders The dressmaking course offered by our school is far more than just and milling machines. Accurate measurements mitlh micrometers, calipers and surface guages are methods of gaining great proficiency.

This shop aims to train mechanics to service airplanes in a practical way. The course has been arranged for two years of practical instruction in airplane engines, electrical systems, framework and control surfaces, sheetmetal and fabric work. Auto mechanics usually precedes this course however many older pupils enroll who have had general mechanical experience. The engine work includes the principles of construction and operation, the use of hand and special tools, use of micrometers, dial gauges and special gauges, carburetion and electrical systems. Electrical starters, generators and lmagnetos are disassembled, studied and tested. Other subjects considered are hydraulics, brake flaps, landing gears and flight instruments. Page 71 Art and Dressmaking Commercial art? is an interesting occupation for pupils who have the special aptitude to do the work. The commericial artist uses a single drawing or painting reproduced countless times. Formerly this wide distribution was condemmed because is was thought that the the great numbers produced decreased the value of the work. This attitude has slowly been changed. However the commer- cial artist goes one step farther, he must creat something that is beautiful. Classes are conducted as nearly as possible on the plan followed in commercial shops, emphasizing especially shop habits and ethics. Pupils take upon themelves the responsibility of sewing for others which is probably one of the most important factors in the training of a good dressmaker. Also each year the stiudent strives for greater speedg speed which has grown so important today in commerce and industry. This class is composed largely of advanced students working on project of wool, rayon and silk coats, men's shirts, garments, copied commercial advertisment, and hand work adapted to the current styles.

The architect who designs a building and the engineers who plans a difficult structure or remodels a machine or designs a new one depends upon the drafter for his plans. Therefore, the draftsman occupys a very important position, for he stands as an interrupterer between the creative mind of the man who plans and the skillful hands of the man who constructs.

Ban 4 1 l l The sixth annual Military Ball, one of the outstanding social events and formal affairs of the school year at Manual, was off with a grand start with a swirl of bright colored dresses against the background of olive drab uniforms at eight o'clock on Friday evening April 27 in the boy's gymasium. The gymnasium was changed into a ball room and was artistically decorated with streamers and large duplicates of the R. O. T. C. Shield, our school insignia, and our national colors. Mr. Ray Hatfield and his orchestra were engaged for the evening. The members were seated at the west end of the gymnasium, screened by a bank of ferns an palms, and furnished music as gay as the scene itself, The orchestra and crooning young man, Delos Gulley united on I Dream of You. When the R. O. T. C. Ball is mentioned, everyone asks Who was Queen ? The officers and non-commissioned officers chose these six candi- dates, Miss Lois Capps, Miss Charlotte Coleman, Miss Vesta Deason, Miss Hellen Iflstevez. Miss Peggy Starns and Miss Betty Thurman. By the vote of the cadets, three candidates were chosen, on the day of the Ball- At 9:15 P.M. the Grand March began headed by cadet Sergeants Paul Rheuark and George Norwood who led the march to form a huge V Through the point of the V came the candidates and their escorts and halted in front of Mr. Shepherd, principal of Manual. who announced and presented the Oueen, Miss Peggy Starns with a rhinestone pin and her aides.

Joe Ferrantelle entertained his listeners by playing three piano solos one of which was his own arrangment on Ches- terfield, and Mr. Harlev Manker, magician, entertained with magic tricks.

CJ is t0 qualify the student as a leader whether in peace or in war, to help pre- pare hlmltou discharge his duties as a citizen and to awaken in him an appreciation of the obligations of citizenship. During tfhe Winter months the cadets have classes in Miltary His- t0I'Y and policy, discipline, courtesy and customs of the service, sanitation and .First A1d, Military organization, rifle marksmanship, map reading, the. importance of personal appearnce and bearing, and LP. TJ Physical training.. In warmer weather drill is practiced outside. At any time this training is Well worth the while, but at present it' is invaluable. Hundreds of young.m.en who have had R. O. T. C. training are now in the service. Due to the brief understanding of' military Work learned in R. O. T. C. hundreds have made rapid advancements and received commissions. At the begin- ning of the year officers and non-commissioned officers were appointed and the instructions of the cadets was started. The events fthrough the year are the Armistice day parade, Rifle team competition.,fR. O. T. C. Ball, Government Inspection and Field Day. On November 11 the cadets rolled out bright and early to participate in the Armistice Day parade. Too bad it had to be on Saturday, our chance to miss school with an honest excuse was eliminated. Manual had honors restored upon them by having had selected Cadet Captain Jasper A. Totta as regimental Commander for the parade. We wish to express our deepest sympathy to Jasper hoping he will fully recover soon from his illness. Manual's Rifle team made an excellent record this year. The team first fired in the Inter-city matches in competion with eight other high schools of Kansas City. At an assembly for the R. O. T. C., Colonel'Blondy presented us a trophy for winning Second place in the city. Along with it he presented to the high-six medals, and those who made a score of one hund- red-sixty or more with ribbons. The cadets tb win both were Sgt. Crane, Capt. Yarberry, Staff Sgt. Rheuark and medals only to Pvt. Long, Lieut Kissenger, Cpl. Ferrantelle. The second rifle match was the Seventh Service command match Which included seven states. Targets are sent to the R- O. T. C. headquar- ters at Fmaha, Nebraska and after being scored are sent back to school. Here again we came out with honors by winning first place in the city. The high six for the match were Capt. Yarberry, Staff Sgt. Rheuark, Pvt. Marsala, Cpl. Ferrantelle, Sgt. Crane and Lieut. Graham. Each year the R. O-T. C. battalions at Kansas City Regiment are inspected by officers of the United States Army. The battalions are graded according to the drill, theory, and discipline and each cadet of an honor school is entitled to wear a red star on his coat sleee the following year. Every officer and cadet is proud of this star because it denotes leader- ship, discipline, ability to learn and a well drilled unit. Those who enter the Battalion next year should be proud to lwear the star which we have arduosly Won in the years before. As in the past We hope to bring home many medals and trophies. The officers of this battalion wish to ext'end their sincere thanks to all the cadets who have helped win many honors in the past years. We hope that the future officers of the Manual Battalion will do as well or better in the years to come. Page 86 KKMKKKKKKMKM 'fa WKKMKQK 'Q M' if ,fr GU- fzh .pgakx W X , v.- gi, . I. ig, wg: , , .'

Finally afteer three months of splashing paint, cleaning and scrub- ing the Lion's Lair, Betty Thurman, the President of this little rendezvous, an- nounced the opening night. Goodness, we thought it . would never come! The Manual Teen-Town is located at Admiral Blvd. and Highland on the lower floor of the First Cong- regational Church. There we have a library, recreat- ion room, dance floor, and a grand kitchen. Why, we Some Class-Eh ? We danced even have a Coke Bar! to the music of the Don Bosco band, and I bet you there were a. lot of Manual- ites with aching toes the next day. But it was fun, wasn't it? 7 This happy jive session took place November 6, 1944, and gosh- what a crowd! Honest, everybody was there including Mayor Gage, who cut the first piece of the beautiful four-layer cake, City Manager L. B. Cook- ingham and many members of our grand faculty. We Manuahtes were so proud we were busting our vests. Well, anyhow, our little establishment proved to be a huge success and we appreciate the help and effort everyone contributed to maintain our goal of success. The Lion's Lair is open every Tuesday and Saturday nightiso we'll be seeing you there. Page 90 f' f w M.Q wQQiK S x X R N xgigg f5'-- ,,kx NXIX Y?

This interesting meeting took place Wednesday, March 21, 1945 and we wrer privileged to have as our moderator, Mr. H. Pedigrew, of the Junior-Town Hall meeting and well known radio broadcaster.The Junior-Town Hall has been conducted in various schools throughout the country. The question debated was, Resolved: That the eighteen year olds be alowed to vote. On the affirmative side Peggy Starns and Dorothy VanVleck were debators, and on the negative side Betty Thurman and Eddie Zigler. Mr. Pedigrew allowed the audience to ask the debaters questions after the debaters gave their main speeches. It proved to be quite educa- tional, interesting and humorus. , The Manualites ambitiously participated and made the whole school sense a proudness in the result of the assembly. Navy Day Assembly One of the greatest battles in naval history had apparently come to end end October 27, 1944-Navy Day. The scattered-sprawling air-sea actions off the Phillipines reached a climax, fittingly enough, on the one day of the year that has been dedicated to the Navy-that Navy which has born the main burden of the Pacific war and which has so overwhelmingly elevated and reinforced the proud tradlition of its past. The long-awaited naval showdown battle between the United States and Japanese Navies was fought on all side of the Leyte Gulf. Our great Navy knocked fifty-eight of the enemy's war vessels out of the battle. And here nearly 8,000 miles away, in our Manual High and Vocational School we honored our determined Navy by a very patriotic program pre- pared by Professor C. C. Fairchild. Vivid speeches were given by these capable studentsg Charles Blanchard, Edward Ziegler, Salvatore Ottaviano, Frank Armato, Deane Smith, Arthur Proffitt, and Joseph LaBruzzo. The A Cappella Choir conducted by Mr. Bagg, sang appropriate songs for this celebrated occasion. Obviously in our Navy Day assembly the Spirit of Manual was the true Spirit of America. Easter Assembly The Easter Assembly took place March 29, 1945, and as usual the program was inspiring and very religious. The choir opened the assembly by marching slowely down the aisle, while singing a lovely! hymn. After taking thier places on the stage, Mr. C. C. Baggs, Director of Music, led the choir in other appropriate songs. Ave Maria , was beautifully sung by carmeline Brancato, and Robert Pepper sang I Had a Little Talk' With the Lord . James Baysinger gave a speech to fit the occasion. It was con- cluded with choir quietly marching off the stage singing the everlasting Glory, Glory, Hallelujah! Christmas Assembly Woven with simplicity around the beautiful Bible story, the Christmas assembly was presented December 22, 1944. The birth of Christ was protrayed with a skillful blending of music and tableau. It was introduced in three scenes, each accompanied by music from the choir and scripture verses read by Phylis Triano. This Christmas Assembly was truly beautiful and inspiring. All who participated gave a good enactment of the birth of our Savior.

Mr. Shepherd introduced the idea from Paseo where such an organization is already functioning. Each home room was asked to nominate eight juniors or seniors from whom the membership was selected. Those receiving two or more nominations automatically became members while those receiving one nomination were checked for scholastic and personality ratings. Of these only the highest were accepted. In an induction assembly the officers were introduced as follows: Ralph Indin, Presidentg Jasper Tuterino, Vice President: Zina Tomlinson, Sec. Every student at Manual owes a vote of thanks to the Service Society for a great job and a great improvement in our school.

With Miss Stewart as the new sponsor a council was formed, consisting of one representative from each homeroom. During the meetings, held twice each month, Red Cross activities were discussed and plans made for work to be carried out by the students. Reports of these meetings were given in each homeroom iby the representative. Chrlistmas veterans boxes were filled for Excelsior Springs and Wadsworth hospitals, containing such articles as hair oil, playing cards, tooth powder, stationery, cigarretts, books and games. Education boxes containing pencils, paper, erasers, crayons and small color books were filled by some homerooms for children overseas. Art, woodwork and sewing classes have completed cards, posters, small pieces of furniture and many articles of clothing for Red Cross distribution. We are justly proud of the work done this year, and from these activities know that even more can be done next year for the greatest ov! organizations, the Red Cross. Yippie! Finally after three months of splashing paint, cleaning and scrubbing the Lion's Lair, Betty Thurman, the President of this little rendezvous, announced the opening night. Goodness, we thought it would never come! Page 126 fffvgk :,,q,4,, KsKKM95KKyMM Craftsman Staff ,- X fm-JrLt'ia.o, Our own newspaper, the Manual Craftsman , is a complete school product. From the ingathering and writing of news to the final printing and distribution, Manual students and faculty are wholly responsible. Un- der the supervision of Miss Helen McDonna, journalism teacher, members of the two classes in newswriting form the staff of the paper. Any junior may take newswriting who has done well in first and second year English. During the first six weeks of the course studentfs learn the essent- ials of writing news and are tried on each different type of job required to put out' the paper. From the results of this period of trial Miss McDonna is able to select an editor, who this year has been Ed Zigler, and place the students on the positions to which they are bestf fitted. Although work is often slow at first, witfh many mistakes as the fundamentals are being learned, soon they are able to see their work in print. The Craftsman is published bi-weekly, being distributed through- out the school on alternate Fridays. Many copies are mailed to the boys in the armed forces. Page 127 , .. . if ff smskkkssssss X NY?

Our debate teams have clashed in a battle of wits with the teams of Paseo, Westport, and Southwest high schools this year over the question, Resolved: That the legal voting age should be reduced to eighteen years. This was selected as the interscholastic debate question because during the last few years, it has become a national public issue. Many state legislative bodies have recently discussed it and one state, Georgia, has adopted the measure. Battles grew hot both here and at the schools of our opponents as teams fought to maintain their points. The affirmative teams-those who believed the voting should be lowered- -contended that the eighteen year-olds have capability and judgement enough to exercise the voting right. Those against the question, the negatives, brought out? the impulsiveness of youth. Al- though no formal decisions were given, our teams were strong and won many of the debates. Manual has participated in the regular form of debate against teams from Paseo, Westport, and Southwest, all giving strong opposition. Although no decisions were given we have spent a successful year, winning many debates.

The National Honor Society is exactly what its name implies, an honor organization, national in its scope, to which only high school seniors with the highest quality of scholarship, character, service, and leadership may belong. Under the jurisdiction of the National Education Association, each society has a constitution, with definte rules governing the selection of members. At the close of the first semester a committee of teachers averages the records of each member of the graduating class. From these averages, based on the four years of high school work, each student is ranked. Cf the high- est one third 15W of the entire class may be chosen by the committee and on approval of the entire faculty. Scholarship is the basis for these aver- ages, but also personality rating, activities, and school loyalty are also in- cluded. Those who have achieved this honor in the past feel that it is a real reward for work well done. Manual received a society charter in 1925, the 400th granted. It was reissued when the old Manual Training high school became the new Manual High and Vocational School. During the twenty years since then young men and women wearing that pin have passed through our doors to become leaders in industrial and community life. For these of the past we feel the greatest respect, they have attempted and achieved. In those who have been elected to membership this year we take great pride as friends and class- mates, we know that they will attempt and achieve. To the future-the freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and senior of the years to come- -we look with hope, for they are the hope of the world. In them lies the ability to do what there is to be done, to attempt and achieve even greater things, for they have seen what has been done. The wisdom which scholarship com- bines with the fineness of real character will enable them to render their greatest service. Page 133 Zi EF, , .

C. band, snappily dressed in military uniform, has continued its tradition this year, by presenting music of high quality. Under the direction of Chester Bagg, vocal and instrumental music teacher, the band has learned to play many types of music, including concert, popular, and novelty numbers. The band performed at every assembly as the students entered the auditorium and was the main feature of the music assembly presented on April 20th. They also played at the variety show, Cardinal Capers, at the basketball game Feb. 16th, in programs given at several elementary schools, and at West Junior High School. Participating in the band festival at the municipal auditorium, along with other high school organizations, they played the overture Argentina, by Forest L. Buchtel, and Sousa's The Thundererf' Argentina is a musical arrangement depicting some of the characteristics of that South American country. They were highly commended on the overture. During the first semester only one class period was given to the band with both experienced and inexperienceed students playing together. As this cut down on quality, a class was started the second semester for beginning player that they might learn to play more thoroughly before joining the band. A swing band was also started the second semester which met during the seventh hour. , BAND OFFICERS James Palmesino . . . . President and Student Conductor Arthur Proffit ....

She supervises all the decoration committees of our school activities. Many of her students have entered the contests given by the Scholastic magazine at Emery Bird Thayer and Company and have won scholarships and-high honors. lt is through her sense of color and design that our Annual has obtained its oomph! Homer Kunz Mr. Kunz, supervisor of the printing department, is re- sponsible for the entire printing of our annual. He is always ready to cooperate in printing tickets for our mixers and evening dances. lncidentially, it was Mr. Kunz's printing department that printed our Cardinal Caper's program. We are, indeed, proud to have the equipment in our school to complete the big jobs of printing around school. ' Mr. B. C. Greene Mr. B. C. Greene is the man with the camera, who says to everyone, watch the birdie now. Yes, it is our own Mr. Greene, working part-time for our government and teaching two classes of Chemistry. He has plenty to do on hiis hands and yet he finds time to click his camera. For the past four years Mr. Greene has been our Annual photographer and we hope he will be able to stay with us in the future. Page 136 , l , i. . . am H.

X 'ITI Memory Elizabeth Whelan When Elizabeth Whelan, Teacher, Friend, answered the last roll call she must have been greeted with the words, Well done, thou good and and faithful servant. Her life was an exemplification of unselfishness, kindness, gener- ositly, and an unwavering devotion to the principles of right and justice. The faith, wisdom, and sympathetic understanding with which she faced life's problems inspired her students and co-workers to meet with courage the experiences of everyday living. To her the teaching profession was a challenge which she met with optimism, sincerity and enthusiasm. Her appreciation of the beautiful, and her creative ability in Millinery and Needlecraft, was evidenced in the results which her students attained Many girls and women who came under her influnce and Iinstruction in the Jane l-layes Gates Institute and Manual High and Vocational School have been able to become self supporting citizens and to make a direct contribution in the industrial world. To have known and worked with Elizabeth Whelan was, indeed, a rare privilege and one which contributed greatly to the happiness and success of her associates. Her influence lives on and the memory of her life of service will ever be a bendiction to all who knew her. To live in hearts we leave behind, ls not to die.
