When men speak strong for brotherhood, For peace and universal good, When miracles are everywhere, And every inch of common air Throbs a tremendous prophecy Of greater marvels yet to be.

These high ideals for their tomorrow they will have gained chiefly in their today. As these young men and women leave the guidance of Manual High and Vocational they are destined to turn in scores of ways to cope with what is to befall them. Many of their number will be in college next year, while there will be those who go into business, others will marry, and a few will just drift. Looking ahead to this tomorrow we realize that only if they all work together, regardless of how, can they live in a natural way with brother- hood surviving. For economic security, they will depend greatly on their cultural education lor technicalltraining through the practical helps of home economics, art, manual arts, and through the enrichment of music and literature. The majority of these citizens will understand that what hap- pens to the least of them happens to all of them. They will accept will- ingly and understand that with every civic, political, and social right there is an equal duty or responsibility. Many of these men and women will class the spiritual values of life as its first ones. These values can prevail only when individuals lay down their lives for them. Your United States depends upon human resources. May you prepare for the future by developing these, the most precious you own. Gallantly may you achieve the highest goals possible.

They are the values which give purpose and direction to one's life. God is the upward reach in every man. As time moves on into tomorrow the desire to serve has the greatest appeal to me, and no finer examples of the spiritual influence of service can be offered than those of the lives of Washington and Lincoln. Washington was perhaps the richest man in the colonies. He staked his wealth in the service of his country. Lincoln was poor. He was allowed to attend school only a few short months, but he, too, found a place in the hearts of his countrymen. These men were genuinely great. They lived and died to serve. The spiritual values of tomorrow? A life of conscientious service is the answer. It embodies them all.

This face is an aristocratic one, yet not stern. Kindness and understanding are pre- dominate features. It is the face of our beloved English teacher, Miss Ella Jones. Miss Jones was happy indeed when, in joining Manual's faculty in 1944, she happened to see some of her former grade school students. A pleasant thought to have the assurance of good friends so soon. But Miss Jones need not worry about making friends. Her ready smile radiated friendliness and good-will. Both faculty and students quickly warmed to her. Her loyalty to our school, new though it was to her, was shown by her participation in all activities. It was not a strange sight to see Miss Jones directing hall traffic or munching pop corn at a basketball game. Just after the start of this school year a throat condition necessitated an operation which resulted in Miss Jones death on September 24, 1945. But to all who knew her, she lives on . . . lives on in our memory. Page 13 XXL N,f4X?Ci,!'e r ,cg g,,,,.,,., A. sd, new WSW, NS , N611 W N James M. Hill .To eicpress our deepest appreciation and sincere congratulations for thirty-six years of faithful service, this page has been dedicated to Mr. James Hill. On August 1, 1910, Mr. Hill came to work at Manual as assistant custodian. At that time the school had a double session-both morning and afternoon. While here, Mr. Hill learned to be an engineer custodian, and, when the opportunity presented itself, he was promoted to the position of chief engineer custodian. During his years of service, our friend has served under six different principals, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Graves, Mr. Dodd, Mr. Lamar, Mr. Day, and our own Mr. Shepherd. A great many changes have been made, says Mr. Hill. For example, when Mr. Hill made his advent to Manual, there was only the North Building. However, since that time, the Gym, Shop, and Cafeteria Buildings have been erected. And how many of you knew that the boys gym used to be above the auditorium? Well, Mr. Hill helped to tear up the track. There were so many accidents when the gym was up there that it was moved to its present location. Yes, for thirty-six years, Mr. Hill has served the students of Manual, not only by keeping the school warm and clean, but by being a sincere friend and advisor. Thank you, Mr. James Hill, for coming to Manual High and Voca- tional School and for supporting and aiding the potential men and Women who have come to and graduated from this institution of learning.

Sponsor' We the seniors of 1946 are now coming to what is called the last long mile, but to us that long mile has not been long but very short and very pleasant. We very serenely have said we were the high, mighty, grand, and glorious seniors, but truthfully, did we mean that? Or, did we mean, we're seniors, we're your friends? With the members of the M. F. D. L. capturing most of the senior offices, the graduating class of 1946 elected its officers in October, 1945. The president of the Junior Class, Leonard Beck was also elected president of the Senior Class of 1946. At the first meeting, we made acquaintance with our sponsors, Miss Helen Spencer, and Mr. L. E. Oliver. Mr. Passiglia referred to the work that needed to be done on the 1946 Annual that has been our handiwork. Then the day came. Yes, on Friday, November 9, 1945 the little man from Greens' Jewelry Store brought us our pride and joy, the senior rings and pins. November 13, came grade card day. Not many long and weary faces- we must have had all intelligent freshmen this year. They said the same thing about us when we were freshmen. Have you heard! Seniors made all offices in the Service Society of Manual. You know, we seniors had to set a standard for those new-comers. In the years that have come and gone we have collected many pleasant memories, the paper drive that we had in our sophomore year, the freshman class lost and gave us a delightful victory celebration. Those funny little annual plays that made everyone hold their side with laughter. The wonder- ful All-School Christmas parties sponsored by the Student Council. The J unior-Senior parties with that heavenly spring-time appearance. The many hours of laughter when senior class day came around. The 'wonderful seriousness that each puplil had for the Christmas and Easter assemblies and the National Honor Society assembly. Yes, every year gave us mlillions of little memories to tuck in some sacred part of our heart. Now comes the last of our short journey and at its end we want to wish the under classmen the pleasantest of all memories- Page 15 46 4333K Kiifi f N X xx W NR f Deux, .H mi . ....r..i,, Senior Calendar September 5 . . .

Fairchi1d's speech classes presented George Washington Slept Here, a three act comedy, December 7, 1945. The play was about a man who bought a house in the country, all of the troubles they had fixling the house and then they found out that they were going to lose the house, but Uncle Stanley saved the place by arriving just in time. Mr. Kimber fHarold Brisbinj was a quite old man who took things as they came and never got excited. Newton Fuller fHerbert Skillmanj was a gentleman with lots of new wonderful ideas for so he thoughtb. Annebelle fDeane Smithj N eWton's wife was completely disgusted with the house at first, then she finally saw a few possibilities. Madge fLavonna Meffordl Annebelle's daughter, who usually did the unexpected and unwise things, practically walked away with your heart. Of course the play wouldn't be right without SteveCEddie Ziglerj Madges young, handsome admirer, or Raymond CLarry Gepfordj Annabelle's nephew, who always did everything at the wrong time. Then came Mrs. Douglas CGlonia Dockeryl the unsuspect- ant neighbor, who was more help than she ever dreamed of being. Rena Les- ileCPat Monroej a sophisticated actress, bored with life, and her husband, Clayton Evans lPhil Barlettaj the understanding romantic type, bungled into the Fuller's during a rainstorm and had quite an affect on their lives later. Next comes the type of a relative every one wants, Uncle Stanley, CJ oe Castriannij the rich uncle. Visiting Madge for the summer are some young people, Sue CPatricia Farnlofj, Legget lRussell Townsendj , Marion Clrene Ruffalojand TommyfHimie Wainstockl. The play went very smoothly.

Page 30 KxggNQ3gxX9 Q if X NI ln Appreciation Many of you I'm sure, have been acquainted with the traffic officer at the corner of 15th and Tracy. To those of you who have not, we would like to introduce Wesley Massey, a person of fine character, personality, and humor. Wesley Massey was born in Hiawatha, Kansas, September 20, 1885. His father, veteran of the Civil War, died in 1889- Wesley left home in 1900, entered the Army in 1903 and retired after 34 years of service. This is Mr. Massey's 4th year on the police force, all of which he has spent at Manual assuring the safety of our students and other people around the corner. The officer has hopes of graduating in about six years more but We're not going to let him do it. Liked by all, Mr. Massey has always had a bit of humor or a kind word to give to the pedestrians every morning. Whether it was raining, snowing, or the sun shining, you would find him at his post waiting to escort someone across the street much like a chicken takes her small ones under her wings. We wish to thank Mr. Massey for his kindness, cheerfulness, and everlasting devotion to his job. Page 31 X Ks M19 46 as 0 S. -New ff My wi Ad i X SNA Xxx? X x X K, Xb!

This group advised by Mr. Sam Passiglia is wideawake, industrious, and always on the job collecting material, writing, thinking and pushing, trying to pub- lish a bigger and finer annual that will be one of your dearest treasures, and this year has been no exception. The annual staff was selected very early in the year and began to work immediately. The results you have in this book are derived from these people's hard, earnest work. Do not let yourself be deceived about their personalities, by these results for they are not the sober intellectual type students, but intelligent, happy-go-lucky people who give and receive the best and have had a hilarious good time working together. During the second semester these seniors spent one hour a day in our Builder Staff room where they worked diligently getting copy in before the deadline. 'tYes sir, we builders, you know, are always prompt. If you were to look in on this group some day it would not be unlikely to find Gloria and Johnnie Mae just rolling over in laughter at something one or the other said and oh the sore limbs you would find with two athletes like Nick and Lyda in their midst. My yes, that business manager, oh Eddie's a manager all right, you'd probably find him searching everyone and everything to find the 2 cents he misplaced and yes, I expect you'd find Olive just worried sick because she just couldn't make a leg and face both look like they went to the same body. Oh well it all goes along with editing a year book. You wouldn't know the staff had Lois and Patsy because they can never be found Cat least by the editorsb, you kgnow they're such busy little bees. If you saw a big flash when you entered don't give it a second thought, Larry takes pictures of anything. After you'd seen all that you might have accidently seen two solemn editors Jo Ann and Dorothy off in a corner with their teeth to the grind stone trying to find another page for-oh goodness knows what! Well we hope you weren't surprised if you saw any of this, because it's typical of this group, and to say nothing of the happy lot they are and the immense enjoyment they have received from working with their hard hitting, efficient adviser, Mr. Passiglia. If it hadnlt been for him they probably would never have dreamed of publication day, but here it is. Page 33 P U V ' to d if Last lDill And Testament We, the undersigned seniors of the greatest, most brilliant class ever to lend its honored presence to the halls of Manual High and Voca- tional school, wish Ito will our wonderful achievements and unsurpassed talents to the measly Junior class who we know full well wiill have to stay up nights working till dooms-day to equal our glorified record.

I, Joan Parks, cutest thing with a feather bob since grandma's day, intrust my famous hair style to Josephine Ferraro and her own pretty locks.

I, Verna Deane Smith, leave my title of Manual's Best Girl Actress to La Delle Hayes, who will never be able to equal my superb performances.

I, LaVon Coffey, bequeath my good looks, golden voice and wavy hair to that worthless but not entirely hopeless junior, John Sola.

I, Joe Castrianni, best loved humorist and teller of tall tales leave my wit, genorosity and love for my fellow men to that unworthy sophomore, Larry Gepford, not because I think he will ever equal my skill and fame but only to keep these exquisite achievements in the Bentonion Literary Society.

W var hk H Q f is X1 Ten Uears Hence Well here's 1956 and I'm still a Kansas Citian. Tonight being held in the M. H. V. S. gymnasium is an alumni dance. Guess I'll take it in and see how many of my 1946 colleagues I will be able to see and learn of their various successes. Gee! of all the wizards, I should meet upon entering the welcoming committee at the door, would be genius, Professor Skillman. For the last three years he has been an English and Philosophy professor at the Missouri University. A wise man. There comes that sweet Stage's Delight, Verna Deane Smith, just as clever as always, to say nothing of her fame far and wide for her dramatic roles on Broadway. She's spending the week end in K. C. away from her permanent residence in the Bronx of New York, just to attend this wonderful reunion. While we're meeting college graduates, here's a lass who toiled and worked and used her brilliant mind to be awarded with the position of ga laboratory technician in one of our nationis largest laboratories. Miss Tankersley is still taking advanced work and we expect to find her developing a pill-box more powerful than the A Bomb. Senator Zigler, I do declare, a man of renown in the political field. As yet no man can out talk our gentleman friend. Before entering senator- ship, he was a nationally known Criminologist. Surely you've heard him- the big bag of wind. Uhhmmm! I guess we better see if there are some more friends in the gathering. Modeling for Kansas City's most exclusive shop is that queen in her line, Joan Park. A beauty if I ever saw one. The men delight in helping to choose wifie's duds these days-wonder why? Nevvsbroadcaster, sports reviewer, comedian and dramatist all rolled up in one is that radio announcer, Joe Castrianni of Radio Station KCKN All the sponsors had to double their income tax this year. Guess why. Featured at the Palmer House in down-town Chicago, just before his departure for K. C. was Leonard Beck and his band, playing the most beautiful music this side of heaven. The next stop on their line up is the Sky-Hy in grand old Kansas City. In the field of business, Jean Gardner ranks as the greatest whole- sale dealer of electrical parts in the middle west and also provides a beautiful home and every desire for the little wife, Mrs. Susie Potter Gardner. We're looking forward to a fine little family there. Among the celebraties having their clothes designed at the Paris Fashion Shoppe operated by its owner, Miss Emma Rocha are: movie actress Jeanne Crain, Queen of England, Joan Taylor, and our own First Lady of the land. The Paris Shoppe is famous here and abroad. To have a dress made by her, all society would envy you. Bob Weigle has proceeded in the military line just receiving a few days ago, his Major General commission and following beside him are many others, Howard House, Colonel he is, and Russell Townsend marking the Major rank. General Manager of Kansas Citv's Montgomery Wards and Co. is Miss Johnnie Mae Ray, a very efficient business woman-surprising but she always manages extra well when it comes to squeezing Manualites into the part-time jobs that are open. Page 38 ff M Ten Ucars I-lcncc Blue Ribbon winner last summer for the best canned pickles at the Tri-State Fair, was that dream of a cook and house wife, the former Frances Musso. Professor Coffey, at the present time is giving private vocal lessons to the daughter of our mayor and in his spare time gives lessons at the Conservatory of Music. Olive South, still a miss, Cremarkable isn't ith tells me she has been doing advertising for Marshall Fields and at the present has two canvases in the Chicago Art Gallery. The most glorified Kansas City Blues' player, starred as pitcher, is Larry Sinovich, who has just started a new curve ball in pitching and has broken the record by striking fifteen men in succession, out. Let me give you a little tip, you'll find the best shoes in town at Armato's Exclusive Shoes. Stop, shop, and be comfortable, is his motto. Since graduating from New Mexico's School of Mines and Engineers, Engineer, Phil Balano and side-kick, Victor Sellaro have just completed their work on the Inter-Continent Floating Bridge connecting Europe and the United States. Nick Pizzichino is the proud owner of the largest chicken farm in Missouri having a few magnificent hens laying half-pound eggs. He uses Do-All Feed and expects to make a second fortune advertising this. wonderful feed. In competition with The Kansas City Stair now days is that rapidly growing newspaper, The Greater Kansas City Gazette. Managing Editor, of course being the former Doris Whittle, now a Mrs. Chuck Lentz, National Meterologist, is to be found in any part of the country at any time ,wrinkling up his nose, saying, looks like you'll get three or four foot of rain this time. In her height of glory, Joan Tennis now possesses the title of greatest Metropoliton Opera vocalist since Marion Talley. The Manual girls, after ten years of defeat, yesterday recaptured the Play-Day trophy, of course giving due credit to their instructors, Miss Lyda Chinn assisted by Miss Peggy Barber. Still the Belle of Any Ball, is that loveable Gloria Dockery who you guessed, is still unhitched. She is as youthful as she was ten years ago and too smart to be caught by any man's trap. Read by all of our nation and others of the world is this year's Pulitzer Prize winner. Vacation in New Orleans, a beautiful story of romance and adventure, the greatest novel written by Miss Jo Ann Najolia up to this time in her career. She hopes her new book, still in its early stages will be just as well liked and enjoyed. Holding the most looked up to position in her field, Miss Leong is indeed a true business woman. Since all good things must come to an end so must this bit of news. I hope all of you enjoyed hearing about these 1946 graduates. We certainly have been made proud of every one of them, many of which I have not told about here but are as every bit as successful as the ones I had the pleasure of seeing and talking with. I hope to see more of them next year. Thats all for now. Page 39 off f KK M1946 skis. if X as Can Uou lmaqinel Victor Sellaro without those gorgeous brown eyes. Eddie Zigler with his MOUTH shut!

S c 1'gccwLt-at-Arms The Junior Class became organized early in the year, with the help of their faculty advisers, Miss Ruth Bird and Mr. J. A. Listrom. The members of this class have always been very active in promoting and supporting interesting school enterprises. A paper drive, a war stamp contest, several mixers, and a party for Freshmen should be included in the class history. Outstanding events of this year were the winter mixer on February 6 and the beautiful Junior-Senior prom. Instead of the traditional Junior-Senior party, this year the Juniors voted to give the Seniors a farewell prom, the first in many years- This event was held rin the late spring in the Manual gymnasium, and will be long remembered by both classes for its good music, an attractive refreshment table and decorations, gay entertainment, and the lovely formal gowns of the girls. While they have never adopted it as a slogan, the Junior Class, ever since their Freshman year, have always said, Let's do something nice for the school. As a class and individually they have eagerly contributed their share of Work to such school activities as Student Council, Red Cross, Service Society, and all literary societies and clubs. In 1947 the Junior Class will continue to use their ability and per- severance in doing greater things for their fine school. They are ready to accept their new and advanced responsibilities as Seniors.

The follow- ing were elected members: Jamcs Thresher, Bill Fronce, Carl Richards, Edward Denny, Jack Houghtaling, Howard Traw, Martha Swink, Austin Hart, Clayton Peterson, Lawrence Gepford, Bill Spini, Isabel Alvarado, James Riddle, Dorothy McDonald, Toni Sola, Shirley Tripp, Rose Marie Titton, Mike Lombardo, Helen Bartholomew, Robert Woody, Joseph Vig- liaturo, and Donald Barnes. From this group nominations were made for class officers. Each representative conducted the election in his respective homeroom and the following officers were elected. This fine class has advanced rapidly in many different fields. A large number of their members participated in athletics and other extra curricu- lar activities. Out of 164 members, 82 have exceptionally good scholarship records with 17 of this number ranking high on the honor roll. The sophomores are lookzing foward to their junior year more than you can anticipate. Each and every one has grand plans for their future years at Manual.

Reporter There are three hundred eighty-three members of the Freshman Class this year. Many of these students have entered Manual as Freshmen because they wanted to enroll in pre-vocational classes. Manual offers training in more vocations than any other high school. Early in the year the Freshman Class was organized under the sponsorship of Mrs. Nelle Eckles, Mrs. Helen Valentine and Mr. Elbert Shores. Each homeroom elected two members to the executive committee as a planning group for the class activitfies- The members of the executive committee are: Raylene Rogers, Thomas Guthrie. Clarence Lashbrook, Frank Snellman, Florence Mangaracina, Walter Darby, George Houser, Martha Sirratt. Betty Yoeman. Vivian Milazzo, Patsy Miles. Dorothy Galloway. Robert Quattlebaum, Pauline Richards. Nora Erwin, Margaret Kizer, John Jewell, Rollie Baldwin, Marv Daniel. Vlincent Lipari. Gene Schmutzer, Matthew Accurso, Merriam Wilson, 'Ruby Sharp, Catherine Troya Patricia, Evans, and Frances Ventimiglia. At the beginning of the school year a special assembly program was given in honor of the Freshman Class and they were greeted by Mr. Shep- herd. The mixer gfiven in the boys' gym was a pleasant social event. Danc- ing. games and refreshments were enjoyed by all. The members of this Class of '49 are planning to make these four years at Manual very profitable and happy as they work and study together.

For the first time in the history of the Kansas City schools an eighth grade was made available. This was the result of several years of planning and weighing facts. With the nation wide tendency toward lengthened educational opportunity for every boy and girl, it seemed best to insert an eighth grade and give more time for physical and mental maturity before a pupil began his high school in history. Many elementary schools anticipating this change, began as far back as fourth grade to encourage parents to permit pupils who have entered school in January to plan so that they became full-yearn pupils. Pupils coming to Kansas City from other cities fitted into the new plan too. So in June, 1946, we find Manual High and Vocational School com- pleting the first year of eighth grade work. The class is small as would be expected in the beginning. Its membership represents our contributing elementary schools and many out of town schools. This class points a way to better educational growth and richer experience. It has pioneered in a valuable experiment and now this eighth grade class of 1946 takes its place course. Page 49 , A , N X Y XXX 2' ' ftsf X F xg X si XXV v - , J X Jlccountinq Department This year Manual has its school treasurer's office in Room 22 on the first floor. Students assisting throughout the school year were Dorothy Dol- genow, Betty Adams, Joan Tennis, Doris Harney, Marian Ralston and Vic- tor Sellaro. Interviews were made for next year's office force and selections have been completed. The pictureabove was taken early in the first semester and does not show the modern office front built by the combined metal and carpentry classes of Mr. Booy and Mr. Brinton. The present plan of office operation was an idea of our pnincipal, Mr. Harry Shepherd, who reasoned several years ago that students under regular supervision, could carry on some of the regular business in a high school and as they became more experienced could handle more and more serious problems. In this office each worker has several jobs which he alone Zis responsible for and must take care of in the course of the days business. Glenn Redford is the teacher :in charge. . yy... ,. . I J. W. Newell J. Czfrrincione J. A. White We have been proud to have our linotype teacher, Mr. White, resume his position after serving in the U. S.

X X The Athena Literarq Societu 4 Q M, M lNlissEmn1a,Kube g 3 The Athena Society was founded in 1915 and given a charter on Oc- tober 15 by Porter Graves, who was at that time Principal of Manual Train- ing High School. The purpose of the Society was to foster a love of good literature and gain practice in good writing. The first adviser was Miss Elizabeth Scott, a truly great teacher of English, who later became school counselor. Blue and white, symbols of truth and purity, were chosen as Society colors. The motto became, No one is wise alone. The white rose was selected as the Society flower. The pin was designed by Frances Mel- Ianby, a charter member. Miss Steele, Miss Lowrey and Miss Graham followed Miss Scott as sponsors. In 1922, Manualis Silver Anniversary Year, Miss Kube became sponsor and was connected with the Society in that capacity until 1942. Since that time the Society has been most fortunate in having the fine influence of Mrs. Price to help direct its work. The Athenas have many traditions which are interwoven in the his- tory of the Society. Ideals based on six great virtues, high scholarship, loyalty to the principles for which our school stands and a veneration for God the Almighty are a lasting part of Athena life. Dignified initiations, impressive installations for officers, worth while programs, and beautiful senior farewells are written indelibly in Athena Memory Books. Contributions in memory of deceased Athena sisters, teachers and principals constitute a sizable sum of money in the Gold Star Fund of the Association of High School Women. Some of the pictures adorning the walls of Manual High and Voca- tional School are gifts of the Athena group. Each year a group of Athena girls joins the hundreds of those of other years and together they go out into a life of better and finer woman- hood-a womanhood of Athena ideals.

In former years Manual had had a strong club but the heavy programs of War time years had made it necessary to discontinue it. The nucleus of strong leaders from West Junior High School found ready support among the other Manualites. An assembly program presented Girl Reserves as the junior membership of the Young Womens' Christian Association, a fellowship of women and girls dedicated to Christian ideals and Christian living. This club is for all girls Who will subscribe to its purpose to find and give the best andeits motto to face life squarely. It is a club dedicated to clean fun, good fellowship, service to others, worthwhile programs, and real religious conviction. Page 72 X 46 RSA Xbks if XV X RNAXV X ff ' Hielj ROWV 1.

Under the able direction of Mr. E. B. Hyde, the Hi-Y is enjoying a good revival. The purpose of the Hi-Y is to create, maintain, and extend, throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The platform is built on clean living, clean speech, clean sportsmanship, and clean scholarship. In various programs several interesting speakers were heard, among them, Capt. Clarence V. Herndon, head of the R. O. T. C. in Kansas City. It is the hope of the Hi-Y that the boys who have passed through will have it impressed upon their minds that there is no higher calling than that of being the good citizens of tomorrow. We greatly appreciate the splendid co-operation given to our Hi-Y Club by Mr. Phillip Ross and Mr. Simon de Leon from the Downtown Community Office. It is hoped that next year, our Club will have an athletic program which will interest a larger number of boys and prove to be a very valuable asset to our school. To this end we pledge our most loyal support to this very fine organization and worth while endeavor. Page 73 .

The league is attempting to further this aim by sending books, posters and scrap books from the United States and by exchanging letters with students in these different countries to promote friendship among them. Since 1941, all the high schools of Kansas City, Mo., have been granted charters. Twice a month these chapters or clubs meet to study the South American countries, to sing their songs and to familiarize themselves with the principles of the code of the Pan-American countries, stressing respect for another flag, tolerance, co-operation and thoughtfulness of others.

Last year our Service Society accomplished its goals and it has done even more to realizefits goals this year. The idea of an organization of this kind was introduced last year by our principal, Mr. Shepherd, and has so far proved to be a very fine organization. It is an adjunct of the Student Council and works with that organization. Its members are picked by the students themselves, by vote in their respective home rooms. Each home room is allowed two persons, as members whose names are checked in the office for scholastic ability and personal rating. At present our Service Society has eighty-one mem- bers. All are working. ' The Service Society has various fields of service and in each field we have a director whose job it is to see that all under him are working. We have Directors of the Cafeteria, one in each lunch period. We have a Director of Building Cleanliness. We have a Director of Student Traffic in the Halls. We have a Director of Student Conduct at games. All of these have helpers to carry on their work. Let's get behind our Service Society and push. Let's make our school the best in the system.

We were defeated in every league game, but our opponents found it very difficult to penetrate Manual's impregnable line. There were more than fifty boys out for football this year. Coach Oliver's first eleven played good football. There were quite a few Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors out this year, so Manual has some- thing to look forward to in the future. Through the season, Manual's spirit was always high. The team showed loyalty and courage for the school. Joe Ferrantelle was best man in Manual's line, and Norman Pence was best man in Manual's back field. Under Coach Oliver's guidance, our teams in the future should and will surpass those of the past. The boys should remember, For when the One Great Scorer comes to write against your name, He marks not that you won or lost, but how you played the game. FIRST TEAM Bob McKeone . . .

Members of the faculty that attended and delivered short speeches included: Mr. Passiglia, Mr. Lancaster, Mr. Kunz, Coach Oliver, Coach Shofstall, Coach Shores, our principal, Mr. Shepherd, and vice-principal Miss Riggs. Miss Riggs delivered an inspiring poem. Dudley Barker, alumni speaker, spoke on what his M mean-t to him. Joseph Ferrantelle, in his speech of appreciation, accepted member ship in the M club. Russell Moore gave his farewell to the team, and Gordon Kavanaugh, who spoke in behalf of the team, gave farewell to the seniors. Joseph Ferrantelle and Russell Moore were chosen honorary captains of the first team. Fred Weeks was chosen captain of the second team. Second Team Shows Aqqressiueness The dependability and courage of the second team was evident throughout the season. Although we closed the season without a Victory we tied two outstanding second teams, Central and East. Several of the boys are looking forward to making first team next year and if they show the drive, fire, and durability that they showed this season, they are bound to succeed.

The Cardinals were off to a quick start, and grabbed the lead in the first quarter and held it until the end of the final quarter. Our starters were: Bruce Webb and Victor Sellaro, forwgrds, Phil Balano, center, Donald Forsee and Gordon Kavanaugh, guar s. The score at the half was Manual 17, East 12. From the half on, the Cardinals scored 28 points, while holding the Bears to 12. The final score was Manual 45, East 24. manual vs. Central The Manual Cardinals engaged the Central Eagles in one of the most sensational battles of 1946 on the Municipal Auditorium court. The Eagles went down in defeat by a very small margin. The game was probably the most evenly matched game of the season and this one certainly looked like a toss up. At the half, Manual held the lead by 8 points, the score was Manual 26, Central 18. The Eagles soon caught up and grabbed the lead by one point. The Manual fans were going wild, and Sellaro sank in one of the most beauitful shots of the season, edging out the Eagles 53 to 52. manual vs. Paseo For the first time in eight games of play, four pre-season, the Manual Cardinals went down in defeat, under the might of the Paseo Pirates. The Crimson tried and tried again to crack the tightly-woven zone defense, but failed, before the largest crowd of the season, 7,500 fans. In the third quarter, Paseo won the game. The Pirates scored 14 points, while holding the Cardinals to 3. Manual matched the spurt and drew within 2 points, 35 to 37 of Paseo. It was a breath-taking game, and as Coach Shofstall says, a good one to win, a tough one to lose. The score was tied at 8, 11, 19 and 22 to 22 at the half. The final score was Manual 38, Paseo 41. ' manual us. lliestport In our fourth game of the Inter-Scholastic league schedule, Manual defeated Westport by a fairly wide margin of 19 points. The Cards obtained an 8 to 0 lead in the first few minutes of the game. At the half, the score was doubled 30 to 15 in favor of the Crimson. At the beginning of the third period the Tigers changed to a zone defense, and the scoring in the third quarter was slow. The Cardinals cracked the zone, and spurted in the final quarter.

The Cardinals turned back the Knights with a final score of 42 to 31. Coach Shofstall's courageous Cardinals came through with flying colors for old M. H. V. S. once again. Bruce Webb and Don Forsee held scoring 'honors in this battle. Manual was off to a quick start scoring 11 points to Southeast's 1 in the first few minutes of the game.

The Southwest Indians were successful in defeating the Crimson by a very small margin of 3 points. The Indians joined Northeast at the top of the list by turning back the Cardinals 36 to 33. Loss of the game was due to a very slow third period, the chief factor that defeated us in the Paseo clash. Bruce Webb was high point man and is at the top of the individual scoring list with 84 points to his credit with one more game to play. manual vs. Tlortheast The Cardinals were defeated in their final game of the year when the Northeast Vikings turned them back 68 to 25. After a tight first quarter, the Vikings were on their way, they were quick in grabbing the lead and never gave it up. Cjreen Parrot Feeds the Tearn Mr. Shofstall and his successful Red Birds held their annual big feed at the Green Parrot on March 12, 1946, at 8:00 p. m. As a whole, the team was on time, but then there are always a few like Gootch Barreca and Phil CB. A. TJ Balano who can't be on time or maybe just couldn't find the place. Several members of the Faculty were there, including our three coaches and their Wives, and of course our loyal supporter, Mr. H. R. Shepherd. The food was very fine and everyone got his fill, but you have to consider those like John Williams, who, after eating a seven course dinner, yelled Bring on the food! 1946 BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Manual ...................... 45 East ............................ 24 Manual ..... ....... 5 2 Central ...... ...... 5 1 Manual ..... ....... 3 8 Paseo .......... ...... 4 1 Manual ..... ....... 5 6 Westport ....... ...... 3 7 Manual ..... ....... 4 2 Southeast ...... ...... 3 1 Manual ..... ....... 3 3 Southwest .... ...... 3 6 Manual ...................... 25 Northeast .................. 68 1946 PRE-SEASON SCHEDULE Manual ...................... 54 Ruhl Hartman .......... 19 Manual ..... ....... 5 3 Redemptorist ............ 23 Manual ..... ....... 3 5 Pem Day .......... ....... 2 0 Manual ..... ....... 5 6 Glennon ......... ..... . - 15 Page 89 A X-is V S Ds-bl - s 5 saws xwsxgi.

Oliver, instructing, and the dependability of the team, we should have a powerful water wheel next year. In view of the fact that we have had but little time to develop our strength, we had a fairly successful season. Although we did not win a meet, we provided some stiff competition for our opponents. Our swimmers were: Beck, McCray, T. McCray, McGuire, Nichols, B. Penson, R. Penson, Seits, L. Townsend, R. Townsend, White, Zapien, and Moore, manager. WITH WINGED FEET OF MERCURY After many years without track, Manual has again started the spring sport. We are in the Inter-Scholastic Competition with a dual meet with each school. We had a good squad out for track for their first time. Our runners were: Forsee, Webb, Schutty, Pence, Zapien, Cain, Weeks, McKeone, Thresher, Briscoe, Estevez, Bagnell, Williams, Roach, Moore, Barnes, Caruso and Spellman. We have been well represented in Track in past years. During one season three Manual boys won the National High School meet, which is quite a feat as well as an honor. Our boys won and still hold, the record for the shot on that same day. We were strong once and can and will come up again with everyone co-operating and pulling together. Coach E. R. Shores, a newcomer to M. H. V. S. has charge of the track team. Page 92 P f X X A 1 ,- rv .X f-A f-W A F' '.! ,L mn H, --Q A A A W ' flhf Kfmiqf vffwf Qgxw r P ' ,ff Xx X XSJN QM 5 X , 2 X4 .

All in all, fine school spirit and good sportsmanship was displayed by our team and the other high school teams. Girls' Athletic Club The Girls' Athletic Club, organized to promote leadership and good sportsmanship among girls under the supervision of Miss Ivy Clayton, has proved to be a fine organization for those who are interested in athletics. To be eligible the girls had to participate 80 per cent of the time in each sport. The major sports are basketball, volleyball and baseballg the minor sports are aerial darts, badminton, hand tennis and table tennis. Awards were given to the girls who participated in the intramural sports. Page 97 1946 Baskeiball Champions i ROW 1. Lois Leong, Lyda Chinn, Rosamond Miles. ROW 2.

L 1 Christmas Partly Since our principal, Mr. Harry R- Shephard, came to this school at the beginning of the 1944-45 school year. many innovations have been instituted, which, because ot' their popularity, may become traditions. Among these, the All-School Fhristmas Party rates as one of those most enjoyed. On December 21, 1945, the second of these annual parties was held. School was dismissed at 2:05 p. m. so that even those who worked might participate 'in this unique method, on the part of the school, of displaying the Spirit of Christmas. Both the boys' and girls' gymnasiums were used. Dancing to the music of the Don Bosco Band was enjoyed by all in the boys, gym, while games of all sorts held top priority in the girls' gym. Refreshments were served which consisted of punch and cookies. To amuse the Hhungry hordef' a musical program was offered, which included songs by our lovely singing star, Elma Adkins, inspired piano music by our own Leonard Beck, and harmonv provided bv the most popular trio in school, Marie Palmentere, Alvinia Rasche, and Catherine Cacioppo. After the intermission, dancing and games were again resumed. When the students left school, one and all agreed that the All-School Christ- mas Party was a grand way to begin the Christmas holidays.

A program was presented which included songs by Verna Deane Smith and piano solos by the two maestros of modern and classical music, Joe Ferrantelle and Leonard Beck. There was music to suit every taste. Whether you liked slow music or fast, waltzes or jive, you were satisfied with the harmonies provided by the band. Some of the distinguished guests present were: Mr. Shepherd, Miss Riggs, Mr. Ellis, Mr. Oliver, Miss Spencer, Mr. and Mrs. Buck, and Mr. and Mrs. Skillman.

By PAT MONROE, DORIS WHITTLE, and .IEMANN JEWETT MANUAL EUSES NIISS KUBE, TEACHER, ERIEND, AND LEADER After Thirty-Three Years of Service to M. H. V. S., One of Our Most Loved Faculty Members Retires Miss Emma Kube is leaving Man- ual after thirty-three years of ser- vice. Her sponsorship' of the National Honor Society and Athena Literary Society and her teaching of Ameri- can Government, American History, and American Problems have helped many to become better citizens. During her stay at Manual she has made many friends. Harry R. Shep- herd, our principal, who also worked with Miss Kube as a teacher says: I wish I were capable of express- ing the fine things I want to say in tribute to Miss Emma Kube. She came to the old Manual Training High School while I was a member of the faculty and I was associated with her on the committee which organized the Manual Training High School chapter of the National Honor Society. We were also advisers to a junior class for several years. Miss Kube is admired and re- spected for her professional attitude in school affairs. Thousands of young women have studied history and government under her direction. She has been a force in the building of ideals of good citizenship in Kansas City. O. H. Day, former principal of Manual, pays this tribute: Once in a long time there comes into a school a teacher who is able to inspire her pupils with the quality of her character. Many years ago such a teacher came to Manual Training High School and later became a part Page of the faculty of Manual High and Vocational School. Miss Emma Kube has all of these desirable qualities. She is a master teacher and inspires her students to- ward real scholarship, but even better than that, by her example she de- velops in them those fine qualities of character that sustain throughout all their lives. As a colleague, Miss Kube has always been a source of great satisfaction. Her loyalty is such that she can always be counted upon to give the very finest of service and the closest of co-operation in any worth while undertaking. There are multiplied thousands of boys and girls who have fallen un- der the spell of Miss Kube's life and who have now grown to manhood and womanhood, who will rise to call her blessed. She has truly found the secret of eternal life. She will live forever in the lives of her boys and girls. In the words of a colleague, Miss Ethel H. Nagle: Anyone who has known Miss Kube at all well cannot help but be impressed by her unfailing devotion to high ideals of conduct and work- manship. Not only has she held her- self to these aims, but many students have grown stronger by trying to come up to her standards. Recognition and appreciation of the student's debt to her is often ex- pressed by former students who re- turn to Manual for a visit. One of their first calls is likely to be to Miss Kube's room. The chances are they will con- tinue to find her as long as she is in Kansas City. Another teacher who has known and worked with Miss Kube for thirty-three years is Miss Nina Drake who expresses her appreciation by saying: Miss Kube proved herself so 111 f I V V7 ,fre XX NX Rx XWX strong in the teaching of history and showed such ability and skill in that field that she became head of that department, in which capacity she has rendered invaluable service to Manual and has been the guide and inspiration to so many of our students. As sponsor of the Athenas, her gift of leadedship made that group outstanding in its loyalty and ser- vice to the school, and as chairman of the Honor Society committee, she has ,,, ,E made our Honor Society initiation service one of the most beautiful and memorable occasions of our school. Indeed, the interest in our Honor Society Day has become city-wide. These are just a few of the many activities that mark the tireless and unselfish devotion of Miss Kube to this school through the years of her service at Manual, and have en- deared her alike to teachers of her influence and friendship. Feature Storq Best feature story of the year written for The Manual Craftsman. By JOE REMIS RUVING REPORTER WRNESSES THRIEEING CENTRAL GAIVIE ..l.... Life of Newswriter is' Full of Excit- ing Surprises-But is Hard on Nerves- and Blood Pressure Your roving reporter received what he felt was a routine assignment to cover the Manual-Central game at the Municipal Auditorium, Friday, Jan- uary 11. He was expecting Central to be a cinch, but before the evening was over, he had seen a regular thriller. The life of a reporter is indeed full of surprises and' wearing! The game was on even terms in the initial quarter 3 the only bad luck appearing was the frequent fouls called on Bruce Webb. As the second period got under way real danger raised its ugly head, the Blue Eagles, Willingham and Malone, developed a dead eye for that basket. From then on things began to change in all directions. Your reporter was beginning to be really worried, but Manual pulled Way with a safe eight- point lead. During intermission, your scribe began to realize that winning this game would be no easy task. He re- assured himself that Central would put up a good fight but that Manual would win. After the eight-point lead at the half, his hopes were raised high and his blood pressure went down twenty notches. Everybody was anxious to see the thi1'd period get under way. The going was tough for both teams. Central forged ahead with three points, but goals by Sellaro and Webb turned the tide toward Manual. The fourth quarter found the crowd in a frenzy of excitement. Central was in the lead and stalling the ball, but an eager player, who wanted the Blue Eagles even farther in front, took a shot, missed, and the alert Bruce Webb scored for Manual. The crowd went crazy and your reporter, standing on his chair, wiping the sweat off his brow, let himself go and really gave all he had. A wild tumult arose when Vic- tor Sellaro broke the ball away from Central for the winning goal. Itls games like this that bring short life and high blood pressure to reporters. Page 112 VOCATIONAL 5 HO PS ZZHJDU3 YGXX , Q, ,CWI Aircraft Mechanics Aircraft mechanics, open to juniors and seniors as a two year course, is Linder the able direction of Mr. L. A. Scott. The first year is spent in teaching the boys aircraft mechanics, and the second, engine mechanics. The repairing, maintenance, and servicing of the modern airplane requires a thorough knowledge of the basic fundamentals of the airplane, theory of flight, as well as the principle of operation and function of each unit of the airplane, the engine, and the accessories. To become profficient and successful in the field of aircraft mechan- ics requires a vast amount of technical knowledge and manipulative skills on the part of the craftsman. The more the aircraft mechanic learns about airplanes, the more valuable he becomes to himself and to his employer. The most vital need is absolute reliability on the part of the mechan- ics, maintenance men, inspectors, and the pilot. Besides the necessary skill, dependability is needed in everything that pertains to the airplane. The student of aircraft mechanics should always bear in mind that a defective part, an error in fitting or inspection, or the least carelessness in assembling a plane, the engine, or any part of a unit, may help to cause failure in the air. The importance of the utmost care in all work connected with the aircraft cannot be over estimated and the boys taking aircraft mechanics here at Manual realize that.

Cabinet making in the morning and carpentry in the afternoon are both taught by Mr. W. M. Rrinton. Mr. Brinton also teaches two night classes every Week for ex-service men. Most of the work of the two classes this year consisted of Red Cross projects which are to go to veterans hospitals. This work included the making of: Ping Pong tables, craft wagons to haul sheets, pillows and movie projectors, crutches and canes for veterans and many other needed articles. They also made hurdles and jumping standards for our physical education department and a hundred hickory night sticks for the auxilary poliice. One of the biggest jobs of these vocations this year is going to be the making of a banking front in Mr. Redford's room where the school banking is held. It will consist of a partition with a gate and two windows. We are confident that they will do as good a job on this project as they have done on the many other projects- We are also proud of the wonderful Work they have done in aiding the Red Cross. Page 115 F 1 1- F MMM f f F Qi QQQRNFQR fi! Commercial Art Surely commercial art is one of the most interesting and colorful Vocations in school, and one of the most popular. Just what is Commercial Art ? Surely no one can answer this better than its instructor, Miss Grace Leedy, who has done a Wonderful job. In her Words the purpose or objective of Commercial Art is, to establish a firm foundation in basic principles of composition, design and color, and to train students to make their living in the field of advertisvingf' Much of this training is obtained by doing work for the school and outside groups. One of the most important jobs of the commercial art shops is the designing of the Annual title pages and just about all the art Work that is done in this book. Drawing for the Annual, the Craftsman, etc. con- tributes greatly to our atmosphere Very much like that into which the stu- dent Will go upon leaving school to enter his profession, stated Miss Leedy. The students also make all the posters you see around the school and partici- pate in the Emery Bird Thayer Contest which offers Wonderful experience. The students are afforded an opportunity to work at their trade dur- ing the latter part of their senior year and this often leads to a permanent, Well-paying position. Thanks to Miss Grace Leedy and her commercial art shops for their fine Work in this Annual.

Because of the war, the field of electricity has become one of enormous branches and opportunities thereby leading to many Well- paying jobs. As a matter of fact the salaries in this vocation on a yearly basis rates with the highest of all trades. It is also a non- seasonal occupa- tion. The morning class deals with power and light wiring and the after- noon class with electrical machinery. Our school is very fortunate in having such good electricity classes because it is they who do all electrical repairing for the school. This also affords the students a practical job as an apprentice or second year helper. Electricity also provides a vast oppor- tunity to go to all parts of the World to those electricians who desire to travel. For all who want a buzz, take electricity. Page 117 fri f 1946 sv b trite ti Linohgpe .Y 21505 The last year of the 3-year printing course is spent by the student in the linotype department. The first two years the printing student learns to set type by hand but in his senior year, which is the linotype course, learns the delicate task of setting type by machine. This shop is equipped With a battery of four model 8 linotype machines. They are fully equipped to handle newspaper, catalog, book and job Work. This course fis taught by Mr. James A. White in a morning and afternoon shop. The shop is now training' War veterans in addition to the regular vocational students. Page 118 'fWWXf Kawai task 'M NY Nl HRW lTlf1chine!Shop The 551501300 worth of new machinery purchased through the war surplus has made the Manual Machine Shop one of the most modern and best equipped machine shops. The training under the able direction of Mr. J. H. Campbell is both extensive and modern. Up-to-date movies showing methods of machine operation, handling and care of tools, and interesting' up-to-the-minute information upon materials are shown to create interest, understanding, and to achieve perfect attendance. The first year boys are taught to use the lathe and shaperg in the second year a mill and turret latheg and in the third year bench, tool, and die work. As opportunity presents itself they are taught profile sawing, filing, radial drill, heat treating, layout, drilling, and boring. In order to obtain experience on the job, students showing promise are allowed to take Co-op jobs. These not only give them the experience required to later obtain a good job but also helps the student to earn while learning. P11510 11 9 f tWfMiSi cerfsei l is at W 46 Sass will ss xi ss w Printinq Shops Upon approaching Mr. Kunz, who is in charge of the morning and afternoon printing shops, we were intrigued by the busy hum of the job presses. Job presses, automatic presses, folders and stitchers are all run by our high school students under the efficient guidance of Mr. Kunz. No wonder we were intrigued. But the biggest surprise came, when Mr. Kunz displayed to us the quality and quantity of work that our students do. It would be a difficult task to list all the jobs our printing shops do but we shall give a few. The two shops do a great amount of work for the Public Library. This work includes the forms for the Board of Education as well as the printing of book slips and other library forms. Many of you would be surprised by the fact that all the school diplomas in the city are made by Mr. Kunz's boys. The attractive little booklets that were passed out about Education Week were printed by the two shops. They make counselor cards for our office and forms for our Library. The most important job of this vocation is the printing of our Builder each year on which they do a professional job. Printing is very interesting and prepares one for a lucrative job. Every printing student who has graduated from Manual now holds a job. Mr. Kunz stated that the boys taking printing in our shops have an advan- tage because they receive direct experience. One would have to spend two or three years in any other shop before touching a machine. Page 120 K Sewing Sewing is one of the vital subjects for girls Cboys, too, if interestedj whether they use it for the home, for a job, or any other application. For this reason we are proud of the fact that we have the finest sewing classes in the city. As a matter of fact we are the only school in the city that offers vocational sewing. The work of our two vocational sewing classes, one under the direc- tion of Mrs. Nelle Eckles and the other under Mrs. Effie Farnsworth, do very extensive work. Throughout the year they have aided the Red Cross by making garments for children, the needy and soldiers. They also make layettes and gifts for children in devastated countries. Jobs such as hem- ming towels, repairing R. O. T. C. uniforms, caps, shirts, and sewing athletic letters on sweaters are all done professionally by our sewing classes. Many of you may be surprised by the fact that our attractive cheer-leading out- fits were made by our sewing girls. The training begins with the fundamental processes in sewing and goes right to the point where the students may obtain a good job. Not only do they learn to sew but also learn the technique of color harmony, design- ing and the choosing of appropriate styles for individual physical features. They are taught to make alterations which have enabled many students to obtain jobs in many ready-to-wear shops. We can be sure that these girls will make a fine living and wonderful housewives.

In the Words of Mr. Booy, who 'is in charge of this shop, Sheetmetal is one of the best-lighted and largest shops in Manual and provides Wonderful facilities for those taking the course. A good paying job, sheetmetal Work offers vast opportunities. The demand for workers is much greater than the supply. This Work is employed in a great variety of industries such as building, manufacturing, metal furniture, airplane, shipyard, furnace and gutterwork. A field in sheetmetal Work which is expanding a great deal is air- conditioning. Eighty-five per cent of the Work in such a project is done by sheetmetal workers. Page 122 X' iiw ix, 55 it is Q?

There is still a great demand for skilled Welders and especially electric arc pipe Welders. Most all metal workers consider the welding torch, gas or arc, as one of their tools. Therefore, steamfitters, sheetmetal Workers, auto me- chanics and structural steel Workers are learning to handle this tool. This two-year course is open to juniors and seniors and is under the direction of Mr. John Booy.

Mr. Lancaster was appointed co-ordinator to direct the program at our school. Thirty-five pupils indicated that they were interested in ob- taining this practical experience and the co-ordinator assisted them in get- ting jobs in the occupations of their choice. Part of this group obtained jobs in the Distribuhive Occupations and they were assigned to a Related In- struction class during their half-day in school. The remainder started work on jobs in Trades and Industries. The enrollment increased during the first semester and eight more pupils were added. The second semester brought continued changes. Four mid-year graduates continued on their jobs on a full-time basis and ten more were added to the program. Fifty-three pupils have taken advantage of this opportunity throughout the year. The pupils enrolled in thlis program have enjoyed many advantages. They have obtained experience in occupations in which they are interesteds developed skills and obtained information essential to full-time employmentg made practical application of things learned in school, and, they have had school supervision and guidance in the solution of job adjustment problems. The variety of jobs show the nature and purpose of the program. Boys and girls were employed as follows: Apprentice glass beveler, appren- tice machinist, general office, salesgirls, typists, stockboys, office boys, apprentice hat blocker, routing clerk, apprentice printing trades, appren- tice draftsman, assistant bookkeeper, laboratory assistant, apprentice typewriter repairman, machine operators of various types, season order checker and copy boy in the advertising department. One of the high-lights of the year was the employer-employee banquet held at the Junior College Cafeteria. Dr. Herold C. Hunt was the presiding officer and Mr. Vagtborg of the Midwest Research Institute the principal speaker. All the pupils on the program in the five high schools participated and many of them introduced their supervisors who were their guests. Full-time employment is the goal towards which every pupil enrolled in this program has been striving since they enrolled last fall. This goal will be attained when they graduate.

WAN X Qi iif Qi Reserve Ojficers 'Training Corps Under the direction of Sergeant Lambert Shienhans the Manual Battalion made splendid progress during the year of 1945-1946, by training recruits into snappy well-trained cadets. The miission of the Reserve Officers Training Corps is to qualify the student as a leader whether in peace or war, to help prepare him to discharge his duties as a citizen and to awaken in him an appreciation of the obligation of citizenship. During the winter months, the cadets have classes in Military His- tory and Policy, Courtesy and Discipline, Customs of the Service, Sanitation and First Aid, M'ilitary Organization, Rifle Marksmanship, Map Reading, Physical Training, and the importance of personal appearance and bearing. It has been a new policy, adopted this year, to show Army Training and Combat films on these subjects. The outstanding events throughout the year are the Fall Parade through the downtown section, in which all of the schools participate, the City Match, the Seventh Service Command Match, the Army Day Parade, The Manual R. O. T. C. Ball, the Regimental R. O. T. C. Ball, the Officer's Banquet, Government Inspection, and last but not least by any means, Field Day. Manual's Rifle Team fired in the City Match and made a creditable showingg ending in fourth place. The high scoring cadets from our school were: Capt. Joe Ferrantelle, First Sgt. John Smith, Staff Sgt. LeRoy Smith, lst. Lt. Raymond Miller, Pvt. Billy Evans, Capt. LaMar Davis, and Staff Sgt. John Hoyle. The second rifle match was the Seventh Service Command Match which included seven states. Again this year we did well by winning second place in the city. The six high-scoring cadets were: Pvt. Jack Breedlove, Capt. Joe Ferrantelle, Staff Sgt. John Hoyle, Pfc. Harold Schalue, First Sgt. John Smith, Staff Sgt. LeRoy Smith. Each year the R. O. T. C. Battalions of the 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 sleeve the following year. Every cadet is proud of this star because it denotes leadership, disci- pline, ability to learn and a well drilled unit. We, the passing officers of the Manual Battalion wish to extend our sincere thanks to the cadets who have helped win many honors in the past years and we hope that the future offlicers will do as well or better in the years to come.

Ball The Seventh Annual Military Ball, Manual's most outstanding social event of the year, was off to a grand start with a swirl of bright colored formals against a background of olive drab uniforms, at 8:30 o'clock on Saturday evening, the 27th of Apnil, in the gymnasium building. The gymnasium was artistically decorated with red, white, and blue streamers and large duplicates of the R. O. T. C. shield, our national colors, and our R. O. T. C. emblem. Mr. George TiDona and his orchestra provided music for the eve- ning. Entertainment was provided by a crack squad composed of twelve members, who, under the command of Cadet Capt. Lowell L. Davis, per- formed also at the Cardinal Capers and at the 3rd Missouri Infantry Ball. The crack squad members were Pvt. R. C. Adair, Staff Sgt. R. E. Carey, Sgt. H. E. Frisbee, Sgt. fL. W. Gepford, Sgt. L. N. Land, Lt. R. M. Long, Staff Sgt. J. F. Hoyle, Staff Sgt. W. R. Gillespie, First Sgt. J. R. Smith, Pfc. W. Slankard, Staff Sgt. I. E. Wickam, and Pfc. H. Wainstock. After they had performed at the Ball they were presented award braids by the Queen. The Grand March was begun at 9:25 p. m. with the cadet officers and non-commissioned officers participating. The Grand March was led by Cadet Lt. Col. Robert H. Weigel and his date, Miss Joan Park, and Cadet Capt. LaMar Davis and his date, Miss Merrilee Buck. Mr. Shepherd presented the Queen and her Aides. Miss Merrilee Buck was selected Queen with Miss Verna Deane Smith and Miss Joan Park serving as attendants. The Queen and her attendants received presents, as tokens of esteem, by the .Battalion Commander, Robert Weigel. After this came the Officers and N. C. O's. dance and a drill exhibitrion by the crack squad. Cadet Lt. Col. Robert Weigel made the announcements and intro- duced the outstanding guests of the evening which included Mr. Shepherd, Principal, Miss Rliggs, Vice-Principal, Mr. Ellis, Vice-Principal, our P. M. S. and T.g and visiting officers from other schools. Page 131 46 si K ff. 0,2 X51-N ,43 - Z .- - F Upper T Betty J. Adams Vanetta Anderson Shirley J.

From this group were elected the following officers: Jean Sola, president, Shirley Trowbridge, vice-president, Emma Rocha, secretary, and Alberta Doll, treasurer. These officers have served as Manual's delegates at the Junior Red Cross Headquarters for occasional inter-city meetings. The first major project of the year was the filling of gift boxes for the children of war-torn Europe. Manual Went over the top with forty boxes containing school supplies and toys for the boys and girls who have suffered the privations of war. These were completed for shipment on October 11. Manual students showed themselves equally generous in filling Christmas boxes in December. Each homeroom filled and decorated a gift box for a disabled veteran at Excelsior Springs or Station Hospital at Fort Leavenworth. These boxes were much larger than the boxes des- tined for the destitute children of Europe. Manual filled thirty-six and decorated them very attractively. In addition, Mrs. Nelle Eckles and Mrs. Effie Farnsworth have encouraged the girls in their sewing classes to complete assignments of bed jackets, night gowns, house slippers, bedside bags, sewing kits and baby blankets. These articles are all in great demand for Red Cross distribution. The art classes of Miss Grace Leedy have designed and made New Year's nut and candy cups and similar articles requested by the Red Cross. Miss Anna Hughes and her girls have made several hundred cookies for use in social activities sponsored for our service personnel and returning veterans. Mr. W. M. Brinton's woodworking classes have turned out many useful articles such as craft kits, canes, crutches, and ping pong tables. March brings us to our annual educational enrollment in the schools. If a Junior Red Cross member earns the money for his contribution or sacrifices from his allowance, We may lay the foundation for a less selfish America. The Red Cross must carry on.

Its members are elected by the homerooms at the beginning of each semester. The officers were elected by the student body in the spring. Miss Nagle and Miss Spencer sit in on the meetings so as to express the views of the faculty. Perhaps the hardest thing the Student Council undertook this year was the revision of the Manual High and Vocational School Handbook. The Student Council went at the business and corrected it to the best of their ability. Then it was submitted to the faculty for a final AO. K. As a result of their work Manual now has a very complete and helpful handbook to give to all newcomers and visitors. But you musn't think the Student Council is all work and no play, for the Student Council sponsors mixers and an all-school Christmas party. Perhaps the social event of the year is the Snow H op at the close of the basketball season. This is an all-student night aiair. The students come couples or stag and the faculty is represented.

J 1 v Resolved: That every able-bodied male citizen should have one full year of compulsory military training before attaining the age of 24 was the debate question that Manual clashed into battle of wits with Central, VVestport, and Paseo. Battles grew hot as the affirmative and negative teams fought to prove their points. Debating is fast becoming one of the most active and interesting of activities in the school. It not only gives the students experience but brings many new acquaintances and friendships with other schools. We have many good debaters, but these are the super-dupersf' says Professor C. C. Fairchild: Eddie Zigler, LaVon Coffey, Herbert Skillman, Frank Armato, Joe Castrianni, Dorothy Van Vleck, Gloria Dockery, Johnnie Mae Ray, Merrilee Buck, and Verna Deane Smith.

This year the band hasiforty-five members. The band has supplied background music for pep assemblies, football games, and the Wainwright parade. Our musicians are earnestly trying to have a real band for Manual High and Vocational School. More players, With or Without experience, are needed in the band. It is suggested that piano players may be used on the Glockenspiel and rythm instruments. The students in the band deserve much credit. This year it is small, but under the skilled leadership of Mr. Rush Harper, the members are trying to make its quality high. Page 138 1. J- A 2 TX National Honor Sociotq F 'Q . A-- kwa 33,5-,gf mimi.
