We have tried our very best to make it as complete a record as possible of the year's work and play, and as attractive as the limited amount of space and money which was granted us would allow. Of course you cannot expect so much from a 100-page annual as from one of 120 pages, and it was therefore necessary to leave out much original work in Writing and drawing. We have tried to make up for these lacks by the number of photographs and snap-shots, which we have tried to make portray the life of the school. If you find mistakes, we hope you will pardon us. We have tried to prevent them, but some may have crept in, in spite of us, particularly in the lists and spelling of names. At this time we wish to express our appreciation to those who have assisted usg first of all to our sponsors, Miss Ortonand Miss Stinson, without whose assistance the book would have been an im- possibilityg to Mr. Willsea for his interest in us and his difficult but efficient work in Hnancing the Annualg to Mr. Zanoni and the Cadet Club for coming to our aid in completing the number of pledges and for showing real interest in us when so many seemed to be against usg to the Senior Class and their sponsor, Mrs. Grimsley, as well as to Mr. Jones and Mr. Zanoni for the giving of the Vaudevilleg to Meyer Schiff for his able and willing assistance in mounting the pictures, and to all the other individuals who have helped us in producing the bookg last but by no means least to the student body as a whole, whose won- derful support astonished the most hopeful. Four hundred and more subscriptions from a school of less than six hundred is a percentage of support that we believe has not been equalled by any other school in Denver, and must show everyone what the loyalty of a Manualite really is. :l i f.

Bradley HE year of 1928 will be a memorable one in lVlanual's history, for it is marked by the retirement of her Hrst principal, Mr. Charles A. Bradley. Never before has there been such a change at llflanual. Teachers and pupils have come and gone and left the school unchanged, but lylanual without Mr. Bradley can hardly be imagined. He was, one might almost say, the founder of the school, for he was a great believer in the educational value of manual training when that idea was in its infancy and when this first Manual Training High School in Denver was established, some- what as an experiment, he was put in charge of it and carried it to the pinnacle of success. Manual training is no longer an experiment. Every school in town has its manual training department now, so that Manual no longer stands apart from the others. Previous to his life as a teacher, lylr. Bradley had attained the rank of lwajor in the United States Army, having been a VVest Point graduate. He was stationed at Santa Fe, New Mexico, at the time that General Lew Wallace was Governor of that Territory, and was well acquainted with the celebrated author of Ben Hur. Pioneer days and border tales are no dream to Mr. Bradley, he has experienced the real thing. When he left New lylexico he went to Toledo, Ohio, to teach for a year. After this he taught two years in the high school at Adrian, lylichigan. He then came to Denver in 1883, where he began his teaching career as an instructor in mathematics and science at East Denver High School. ln 1891 he was made vice-principal of the new Manual Training High School, where he has remained ever since. His resig- nation will bring to a close one of the longest records of service in the Denver schools. Mr. Bradley is a quiet man, but of great reserve force. So modest is he that few people know that he is an artist of no mean ability, and that in music his taste is above the average. The better one knows him the better one likes him. He has been a true friend to both teachers and pupils. To express Httingly our appreciation of him is a difficult thing to do. Perhaps it cannot be better done than by quoting from an article written by llfliss Atkins: ln every trying situation he has seemed a tower of strength. His example in the performance of his duties is one which we all might well follow. From day to day he has shown a wonderful discrimination and appreciation of values, recognizing which things should be treated as trivial and concentrating his energy on those which are really important in the building of boys and girls into the finest types of men and women. When each of us has finished his particular job, he may indeed count himself worthy if he has lived up to the example set by our beloved leaderf' His resignation came as a great shock to everyone. There were few dry eyes among the faculty at Manual on the daywhen his retirement was announced, but our grief at parting should be somewhat mitigated by the thought that Mr. Bradley may now enjoy that freedom from responsibility and rest from his arduous labors that his long years of service so richly deserve. Page Six Page Smfrrz Mr. flames Steele ANIES H. STEELE, our Assistant Prin- cipal, has such an understanding of the students and such a way of helping them that it almost amounts to a gift. The pupils have come to think of him not merely as a teacher, but as a pal who is always ready for a good time. He always supports the school activi- ties and attends ball games and really enjoys them. This brings him a great deal closer to the students. He is ready to give advice and help in any way he can. Any student will tell you that if he is in trouble he can surely find a sincere as well as a just friend in Mr. Steele. He has been for many years one of the best loved teachers of llianual. Page Eight Miss Helen Ludlow Atkins ISS HELEN ATKINS has for many years faithfully served lllanual as a teacher and later as a Dean of Girls. She has won many friends by her cheerfulness and willingness in helping others. Every girl knows that she will find a true friend in llliss Atkins, and frequently consults with her. Busy as she always is, she is ready at any time to give her attention to matters of the least importance. The joyfulness and in- terest which she puts into her work should be an example for others to follow. Credit and praise enough could never be offered to her for the Work which she has accomplished in the school. El,lZAIHi'l'II L. MU1.r:0Y VV11.1.1.xM MAmN PA'I'lliNCE PEGAN IIIQNRY C'ARRol.I. VV. P.

His time was given freely to help others. Everyone who greeted him received a cheery response that warmed the heart. Carl is an all-around boy-captain of the basketball team, a talented mu- sician, active in social work and a member of the hlanual Chapter of the National Honor Society. WVork well done is always appreciated. This was true in Carl's case, for at the half year the students unani- mously re-elected him. As Carl's co-worker and lVIanual's indispensable helper, Lucille Lewis made a charming Head Girl. Beneath her lustrous dark hair are plenty of brains which make her a level-headed and purposeful young woman. Also a member of the National Honor Society and president of the Girls' League, she has made her influence felt thruout the school. When she turns her hand to any work, it is done quickly, quietly and efficiently. Though the school may not be the wiser as to who has done the work, it is certainly a better place for Lucille's magic touch. Maiiual has been very fortunate this year in its head boy and head girl.

A LMA BROWN Stage Illanager .... .... J OHN TARTER Usher ........................... GILPIN CARLSON HE lvlorey Literary Society, which was established in 1898, was the first of its kind in lvfanual. VVhen the club was first started it was very small, but it has now become one of the largest clubs in the school. Its object is to give the members literary training as well as poise and self-possession when speaking before an audience. At the first of this year the club was divided into six groups, the members of which were interested in drama, current events, music, literature, science and inven- tion, and dancing. Each of these groups was to give a program for the club during the year. In addition to these, two public programs were given in the auditorium by the blorey for the whole school. The first consisted of several musical numbers, some talks and poems. The other program was a talk given by Mr. Enid on the subject Life Work. Vocal solos were given by John Jameson. Just before the Christmas vacation, on December 16th, a Christmas dance was given by the Society. The gym was appropriately decorated with a great Christmas tree in the center, from which streamers extended to all sides. During the year the Morey sponsored a social hour. Instead of simply having the piano as usual, the school orchestra played for the dancing. Cake and cider were served for refreshments, making it different from most social hours. This year has been one of the best in the history of the Morey. Page Fifty-two I B' 9 ' Franklin Lilerary Society President .......................

GERALD VVILLSEA HE Franklin Literary Society, one of the two oldest clubs in lklanual, was - organized in 1897. It was named in honor of Benjamin Franklin and his famous Literary Society. The main aim and purpose of this organization has been to develop executive ability in the officers and committees of the club, to give the mem- bers poise before an audience, and to give them at least a little practice in writing as well as in speaking. When the club began in September, lVIiss lkflorrison became the sponsor. lt has been largely due to her help that the club was such a success during the year. Among the first activities of the year was the Hall0we'en Dance, sponsored by the Franklin. The gym was decorated in the true Hallowe'en style. The dance was well attended and was one of the best of the year. Nlusic was furnished by Lario's Orchestra. At Christmas time the Franklin invited the bl Club and lklorey Literary Society to attend its program, which was mostly humorous, consisting mainly of songs and poems given by the newly elected members of the M Club as part of their initiation. After the program was completed Mr. Zanoni presented each one of the boys on the program with a toy, a gift from the Franklin Society. The Lamp Went Out was the name of the play given before the club group in the auditorium. The text was read by Sherril Martin, and consisted of expressions that are generally used Hguratively, but were used literally in the play. People liter- ally swept into the room, time passed quickly around the dial, and the lamp itself finally arose and went out to the great amusement of the audience. The last program of the club was given by several Denver University girls. lt was composed of readings, and some vocal and instrumental numbers. Although the Franklin is smaller than in some preivous years, it is no less active, having been one of the leading clubs in school this year. Page Fifty-three Fine Arts Club Prffsident ..... .....

CSORDON BRUNSON HE Fine Arts Club, in 1927, started out to an educational year under the guid- f ance of lkliss Stinson, their sponsor. During the first semester the club's regular meetings were filled with discussions of different phases of Art, In November the members went to Chappell House to see an exhibition of Old Blasters, and also to have Ha cup of teaf' To have a guest for tea, and especially a Baron, was a very thrilling experience. The guest, Baron Von Daehne, was a charming entertainer and an interesting talker. The descriptions he gave of paintings and sculpture in the large art galleries thrilled the student listeners and kindled their latent interest amazingly. The second semesterls accomplishments far exceeded the first. Arthur Fisher, one of Denver's foremost architects, gave a lecture on Greek architecture. He illus- trated his talk with slides made from photographs he had taken of the Greek temples. He also showed an unusually interesting temple rarely visited by the average tourist. In February, Irvin McCrary, a leading landscape architect, gave a talk on land- scape gardening and its history. His lecture was illustrated with slides of gardens here and abroad. The many vari-colored pictures lent a beautifying and interesting touch to the instructive talk. By the success and number of the clubls functions, it seems to have fulfilled the aim for which it was organized, namely, to acquire some knowledge of Art and ability to appreciate it ,in all its forms.

It was just the Dramatic Club practicing on plays. This year completed a period of intense and successful work in the study of dramatic art, and combined with that, the production of several clever and entertaining programs. The plays included an amusing comedy, Press Dustf' presented to the assembly of club members, and the Christmas play, joan of Arc, presented to the entire stu- dent body before the Christmas holidays began. The greatest sensation of the year was 'lStop Thieff' a rousing three-act farce. There were several other plays that were written by members of the Drama class. One of the club's feature programs was that given by Lucille LaVerne. She was appearing at the Orpheum in Sun- Up,', and granted an hour of her precious time as a special favor to lllanual. A play, l'Danger, was given in total darkness as a feature production of the vaudeville. lylany Worth-while plays were read before the club, and a bird's-eye view of stage direction and play production was obtained during the meeting. The Dramatic Club and the third hour Play Production or Drama Class worked together and learned many valuable things in connection with stage settings, costuming and period furniture. Three one-act plays were produced by the club on the day the Play Pro- duction Class exhibited the miniature stages they had constructed. The Dramatic Club did everything possible to stimulate the interest of the students in Dramatic Art, and made themselves of great service to the school, thus fulnlling their moitto, Service to others.

Once every half year a president and secretary are elected by the members. The duties of these ofhcers are in general the same as the customary duties of the president and secretary of other clubs in Manual, the only difference being that the president must open the meeting in Spanish and endeavor to talk Spanish throughout the entire time. The secretary is required to write the minutes of the meeting in Spanish, and all those taking part in the business and in the programs try to speak Spanish at all times. Before each meeting of the club a program in Spanish is planned. These consist in part of card games, animal games and vocabulary exercises. Often at these entertainments articles on travel are given, especially on travel in countries where the Spanish tongue is spoken. When Miss Orton's classes were taking a trip abroad in English 7, members of the Spanish Club conducted the tour through Spain. This was very much appreciated, both by the pupils and the teacher. A very interesting meeting was held at Christmas time, at which a miniature representation of the Nativity was shown, lighted and decorated, as is customary in Spanish homes at Christmas. The Christmas customs of the Spanish formed the theme of the program. It is also customary for the club to present a program of Spanish setting once every year before the school. Many benefits are derived by the members of the Spanish Club, both in learning the tongue and in becoming acquainted with the manners and customs of the Spanish. Although the pri- mary objective of the club is educational, the meetings are always interesting. The sponsor, Miss Blanck, is always willing to help the members to speak correctly and to assist them in every way. Page Fifty-.fix Q I CD The Movie and Scientzjic Club President . ........ ......

THOMAS B URCH FIELD HERE has been a Scientific Club at Manual for several years, but the Movie and Scientific Club was not formed until the fall of 1926. A movie club ha-,l been started the previous year, but it was decided that both clubs would be benefited if they were joined. Mr. Pease, sponsor of the Movie Club, and Mr. Powell, sponsor of the Scientific Club, were both made sponsors of the new club. The purpose of the organization was to teach something of the way motion pictures are made and to show some educational pictures which would really be of value to the students. At each meeting a one-reel educational picture and a one-reel comedy were shown. Many of the pictures were extremely interesting. There was a great variety among themg some of them were trips to foreign countries, others, pictures telling the history of the telephone, telegraph and radio, and showing how they were constructed. At one meeting a trip was taken through the Ford Factory. 1 Among the comedies shown were Aesop's Fables, and Hal Roach and Mack Sennett comedies. hiany things can be learned by moving pictures more easily and quickly than by other methods. At the same time one feels that he is being entertained. Page Fifty-xewn ' 'v 1 J ffl 1 J .L National Honor Society FIRST SEMESTER SECOND SEMESTER President .........

Miss ATKINS N 1924 Manual received a charter in the National Honor Society for Secondary Schools. This club ranks first in importance among all the clubs at Manual. The highest honor that may be bestowed upon a pupil by the faculty is election into this organization. The mem- bership is limited to five per cent of the junior Class and fifteen per cent of the Senior Class selected from the upper third of the class. The members pledge themselves to uphold the ideals of the club and to inspire others to seek for the objectives which are symbolized on the emblem by the letters C. S. L. S. These stand for Character, Service, Leadership, and Scholarship. The emblem also bears a flaming torch upon the keystone.

CHARLES BAILEY HE one ambition of all lX1anual's debaters, orators, and extempore speakers is to become members of Denver's only chapter of the National Forensic League. That chapter is in Manual and any student who is in the upper two-thirds of his class and has attained a satisfactory reputation as a debater or orator and has com- peted in interscholastic contests a sufficient number of times to have gained ten points is eligible and receives a degree of lklerit. The Central League, which is located in Chicago expects each member to continue public speaking and as a stimulus offers higher degrees. The second degree is Honor and requires thirty points of credit combined with the other requirements. The third degree is Excellency and sixty credit points must be earned. The fourth and highest degree is Distinction and one hundred points are necessary to obtain this degree. This year a degree of-Excellency was awarded to Alma Brown, a degree of Honor to Joe Rosenbaum and degrees of Nlerit were awarded to Fred Zolneck, joe Henrv, Stewart Shafer, lylarv Takamine, Beatrice Gregg. Sam Bloom, lsadore I Sunshine, Beatrice Lowery, Sadie Grinstein, Bill Edwards, and Keppell Brierly. R-06' 'LN-IEUJ-NW The emblem worn by all members of the Forensic League is a key on which is engraved an eye and a lamp signifying the search for truth in all public speaking. Each member receiving this key pledges to keep his emblem and let no other person wear it. ' Page Fifty-nine The Student Council OFFICERS FOR SECOND TERIVI President ........................

Its meetings are held every two weeks and all sorts of questions which affect the interests of the school and the students are brought up for discussion, measures that seem desirable are passed, and reports of the discussions are afterwards made in each home room. All meas- ures are approved by the school authorities before being put in execution. The accomplishments of the Student Council are not always noticeable in a concrete way. Their successes are marked by a better spirit, higher morale and a greater degree of courtesy. But there are a few concrete things the Council would like to have the school know it has done. One of them is the extra foot cement walk put all around the curbing to protect the grass, leaving lazy students no alibi for taking a short cut . Another is the drinking fountain on the third Hoor-a blessing to the lazy and a necessity to all! Our Annual is the product of the Councills cooperation with other organizations. The Council works with the Annual and with the studentsg so the success of each of these depends upon the others, help. The motto of the organization might well be, the Council for the students and the students for the Council. Page Sixty I i ' l N N57 . , L' sw-we.

In order to gain these high standards set by the Club, it participates in both social and educational activities. Many interesting talks by prominent Denver people were given, some of which were enjoyed by the entire student body, while others were enjoyed only by the girls. The League has been a hostess at several parties throughout the year, including the party for new girls, and the parties for the girls of Sands Home, whom they entertained with singing, dancing, and music. The Work for the Needle Guild was also a worth while accomplishment. The girls made over one hundred and ten baby garments for one of the chapters. hlembers of the Club feel that they have done much to uphold the purpose and work of the League and they wish to express their appreciation to their sponsor, Miss Nlillar, who has made possible the Club's splendid success this year.

The purpose of the club is to promote World Fellowship. We started the year by celebrating the dedication of our new Y. VV. C. A. building. The Girl Reserves held a ceremonial and placed a G.R. ring, pin and scroll in the cornerstone. Girls dressed in costumes representing the nations were a part of the program. After dedication week came the fire lighting ceremonial, during which a fire was built in each of the fire-places of the new Y. W. C. A. The procession started on the first Hoor, where the choir sang songs and a speech was given. Then two girls, carrying fire, lit the evergreen. They then proceeded to the fourth and sixth floors, repeating the ceremonial each time. The Manual Club was repre- sented in every one of the activities during the year, the most important being the Pageant in which fifteen Manual girls took part. Another pleasant happening of the year was receiving a box from the Japanese Girl Reserves showing their delicate work. In order to impart the meaning of impartial in Judgment, and to learn how to earn a pin and ring, a conference was held at Colorado Springs. Among our outside activities -have been a dance for our boy friends, with confetti and serpentines galore, and all the punch they wanted. The Girl Reserves also sponsored a rally for the South-Manual game on Thanksgiving day. ' The club is now looking forward to the Mother and Daughter banquet, the Estes Park Conference, and the most wonderful and cherished of all-Camp. The fact that the club began -in the fall with thirty-seven members and ended with seventy is sufficient to show the success of the year. Much of this success is due to its faithful sponsor, Miss Hall, and its advisor, Miss Rattle. Page Sixty-tfwo HWY Club OFFICERS FOR FIRST TERM President .... .....

The motto of the club is To create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Towards this goal the mem- bers aim to strive. The business meetings of the club are held Tuesday evenings at the Y. M. C. A. building, while the All City Banquets are held the first Tuesday of each month at the Union Station. VVhile at the Y. M. C. A. the boys are allowed the use of all the athletic equipment. Swimming, horse-shoe playing, golf and ping-pong are among the many sports that are popular with them. Manual has a Hi-Y basketball team which was a great success this year. At the 'fAll City Hi-Y Banquet, December 6, 1927, the Manual Club presided. This event was one of the club's greatest successes of the year. At these banquets opportunity is given to each high school Hi-Y to get acquainted with the members of other Hi-Y clubs. Each school is in turn given charge of the program for these banquets. At meetings interesting speakers provide much of the eveningfs entertainment. Professions for boys and the scenic beauty of Colorado were two of the most enjoyable topics. The latter talk was illustrated with beautiful colored slides. A Sophomore Class Hi-Y Club has been organized which will he used as a foundation for the Senior Club for the following year. john Menogue was elected presidentg Lowell Meade, vice-presidentg Evan Simeonoff, secretary, and Frank Mansfield, treasurer. It is under the sponsorship of Mr. R. C. Prewitt. Manual now has one of the largest clubs in the city and looks forward to a wonderful future.

ELLEN BASSETT Historian . . . . .-il1ARY EDITH ARNoI,o Sponsor . ......... Miss CARTER HE Zouave Club, an honorary and limited society for girl athletes, was founded in 1920. Its purpose is to create better sportsmanship among the girls. A girl must have received an A in her class work and 300 points toward her letter before she may become a member. One of the most delightful programs for club members in the auditorium was that given by the Zouaves, january 24, 1928. The costumes were the girls' gym suits with red ties, sashes and caps, which gave them a brilliant dash of color. A musical number by two of the members opened the program. Several other members appeared in a very clever and interesting dance. The tumbling stunts and pyramid building displayed the members' physical and mental abilities. Next, all the Zouaves participated in a perfect drill, and then as a finishing touch they formed the letter HZ. In the fall of the year the Zouaves, with their sponsor, Miss Carter, accompanied by Miss Giger, spent three days at I1 cabin near Boulder. Many outdoor sports, including archery, were enjoyed by the girls. ln the evenings camp-fire circles were held. This mountain party was the greatest success of the year, for everyone had such a wonderful time as to make the event a well-remembered one. The president of the club entertained the members at a delightful valentine Banco party. Other enjoyable parties have been given by the Zouaves for the initiation of the new members. At the Senior Vaudeville, Zouave members answered the call for aid by ushering. This year has been a most successful one for the club, and there is every reason to suppose that the next year will be as prosperous. I Page Sixty-four Cadet Club Pmvizient ..... ..................

ZANONI HE Cadet Club of lblanual is the only one in the city. Its membership is limited to the Cadet Company, practically all of whom are members. Its aim is to help in every way the undertakings and activities of the school. Last September, when the club was organized, it was given the last two days of the campaign on athletic tickets, and by constant soliciting, the members turned the tide of the cam- paign into a victory. In the short time given them, the club sold nearly two hun- dred tickets. . They assisted the Student Council in the most important event of the year- the pledging for the Thunderbolt. This year was the first time in history that there was serious doubt as to the possibility of having an Annual. The Cadet Club under the willing and enthusiastic sponsorship of lllr. Zanoni realized that the Annual was facing a crucial moment and offered its services. llloney was cheer- fully lent to anyone wishing to make a payment on the Annual, and pledges were also signed by the sponsor. It may be well said that the club saved the day for the Thunderbolt. The Cadets also sold tickets for the Senior Vaudeville and undertook the management of the stage. The Cadet Club may well look forward to a very bright future, since in its lirst year it carried through so many useful undertakings.

HAROLD RIURPHY HE M Club, one of the most influential clubs at Manual, is composed of boys who have secured letters in athletics and been accepted by a special committee appointed from the old members. Formerly any boy securing a letter in athletics was entjtled to membership in the club without the formality of being accepted. , The pins worn by the members are designed so as to designate the sport in which the letter has been won. Those securing their letter in basketball wear a small M with a basket- ball suspended on a chain, those who secured fame in baseball have a baseball on the chaing thus each sport in which success has been accomplished is individually designated. The MU Club has been a mighty factor in pushing ahead every athletic and social event. They sponsored a social hour and co-operated with the Student Council in enforcing school rules, and backed every school activity. A stag party at the Denver Theater was given late in March. The pennants that are to be put up in the gym were planned and made under the club's supervision. One of the most delightful performances of the club is the informal initiation of its mem- bers. This year's group was the first to attempt this kind of initiation, and the freaks that roamed through the halls afforded many laughs from both the students and the faculty. In view of the poor opinion usually entertained of the scholarship of athletes, it is worthy of remark that three of the M Club members belong also to the National Honor Society.

Its main purpose was to help all school activities and take part in all school functions. Miss Mclielvey, the music instructor, was chosen sponsor. Une of the first activities of the club was a football rally, held in the gym for the whole school. Songs featuring the football men were given by the Pirates in their red and blue costumes, forming a large MH, Their next activity was a candy sale for the benefit of the Annual. This was soon followed by a basketball rally given at the beginning of the basketball season. A dance in the form of a mock-prize fight was the entertaimnent at the rally. On March sixteenth, a St. l'atrick's Social Hour was given. The gym was appropriately decorated with green balloons. Candy was served for refreshments. Instead of having all their meetings at school a meeting once a week and a party once a month were held at the homes of the various members. Although this is one of the newest as well as one of the smallest clubs in school, it has been one of the most active. Page Sixty-.vrfvrn m u 1 ' R , - 4 A A K.

PRUDENCE BOSTWICK Press Dust E came, we learned, and we did our best. This seems to sum up the accomplishments of the Press Dust Staff of '28. The stalf was very eager to begin its work, and with a great determination they spent much time laboring on articles for the paper. There had always been rumors about changing the name of the school paper, but as the name t'Manual was very dear to every student, the change seemed very doubtful. After it had been criticized by the Boulder authorities, who are very influential in the determination of the Denver school papers, the question was put before the student body. Two elections were held-one to determine the attitude of the studentsg the other as a final decision on the name. 'APress Dust was chosen, with 4'Mercury ranking second. Because of the small enrollment, the school paper has experienced many financial difhculties which were not encountered last year or the year before. Due to the special editions, however, such as Christmas Edition, Girl's Edition, Prize Edition, Birthday Edition, Boys' Edition, and the Senior Edition, to close figuring in copy and to the business management of Miss Bostwick, the sponsor, who took over the paper permanently for the first time, the year 1927-28 has been successful both financially and materially. And now the staff wishes to thank the school for its hearty support, the faculty for its co-operation, and the office especially for its encouragement. Our thanks to, and respect for, our sponsor, Miss Bostwick, we cannot express. The worth of her assistance and guidance in this work is exceeded only by her self-sacrifice.

Not all the pessimists who said we couldn't do it, nor all the hindrances and discouragements which were put in our way-and they were not a few-could stop us. No, not even the combination of photographers who raised the price on pictures and could not be satisfied until it was so late that our picture-taking came off in February and March instead of November and December, as it should have! The student body rose almost to a man and loyally supported us in all enterprises-the selling of Annuals, the selling of picture coupons and the putting over the Vaudeville. Nevertheless a good deal of time had to be consumed in raising money by a board which had signed up for the making of the book, but by no means for the financing of it. The 1928 Thunderbolt may not be so large as usual, and we have been obliged, on account of the limitation of funds, to drop some of our plans which would have made the book much better, but we have tried to make up for what it may lack in artistic and literary merit by making it a very complete record of the life of the school through snapshots, pictures and articles. The Japanese style was chosen for the art work on account of our having japanese talent on the board, Mary Takamine and Sam Ozomoto, while Paul Miller was also very proficient in that style. Much credit is due to Miss Stinson, who with her corps of helpers gave up most of her spring vacation to oversee the mounting of pictures in order to save money, while what we owe to Miss Orton no one can know. We wish also to thank Claire Munro for his contribu- tion of several other poems. Other acknowledgments have been made in our foreword. We hope you will like the Thunderbolt for 1928, but if you are disappointed in it, we can only say: We did the best we could under the circumstances. Page Sixty-nine 1:-vu 'TYI' The Musical Org O 'department .at .Manual has been of more service to the school, or furnished it more enjoyment, or done it with greater alacrity and cheerfulness than have the musical organizations. In addition to the entertainments which belong naturally to these groups, nearly every other club in school has called upon them for all sorts of assistance upon its own pro- grams, and every special occasion has called for aid from the musical director. The director, Miss McKelvey, with her able assistants, has worked early and late, in school and out of school, to make the department helpful to the students and a credit to the school, and she has succeeded admirably. No account of the year's work would be complete without a tribute to this able director. The biggest undertaking of the year was, of course, the Operetta, Captain Crossbones, which with its cast of eighty people required months of preparation. How great was its success you will read in another place. Besides this entertainment, the Music Department was represented by several amusing acts in the Vaudeville, one entitled Folderol, consisting of songs and jokes. Entertainments have also been furnished for several banquets, patriotic programs and contests, notably the Shafroth, Kiwanis,'and Morey Reading Contests, and the State Oratorical and State Spelling Contests. Manual's P. T. A. has also depended upon the Musical Department for its programs, and many P. T. A. groups throughout the city have been entertained. The music for Manualls Class Day and Commencement was also furnished by this department. The organizations participating were the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs, the Boys' Double Octet, the Instrumental Septet, and the Orchestra. Besides the work done by these whole groups, many vocal and instrumental solos, duets and trios have been given. Among the vocal soloists, Wesley Nelson and John Jameson deserve a great deal of credit, both for their work and their willingness. They have represented Manual at the Eastern Star Benefit at the Alpine Theater, at the State Educational Association, over K. O. A., and at many other worthwhile entertainments.

It is under the supervision of Lester T. Gayle, Jr., retired captain of the United States,Army. The Cadets took part in the Armistice Day, Memorial Day, and Safety Week parades last year. While at the Denver University Stadium Lieutenant Nusbaum led the company squad to third place in the competitive drill during the last week of school. Several of the company went to Fort Logan last summer and thoroughly enjoyed a week there. Boys from other schools were also present, and altogether they formed a small camp among the tents of the R. O. T. C. Eating their meals in a large mess hall gave them the feeling of being in the regular army. A sham battle also gave a thrill to all the participants. The Cadets were entertained one Sunday afternoon by the National Guard at the Rifle Range. After a most delightful dinner the boys went horse-back riding and then played indoor baseball. . The company of each school has a rilie team which competes with the other schools. At the close of the contest an All-City Rifle Team is chosen which consists of the fifteen highest scored contestants. . Eight Cadets volunteered their services for the Color Guard. The company is steadily increasing, and will in the near future again be one of the largest in the city. Page Seventy-four Pagf Svwnfy-fifvz' Pioneer Day Pioneer Day, Manual's substitute for the old-time meaningless Slouch Day, was held on May 18th. It was the third celebration of its kind at Manual. Each costume held a special significance-the rough riders, the trappers, the prospectors presented the real spirit of '4-9. If one allowed free rein to the imagination, many fascinating stories could be conjured from the spectacles in the halls and upon the grounds, for every emblem of the days of the frontier were present, and even Puritan and the day. This day was not only a memorial to for those who dressed in costumes. There was program, and a dance in the gymg and those original representation of the pioneer character Colonial characters were given back to us for our forefathers, but afforded a great deal of fun a big parade, a costume contest and an open air who had selected their costumes with the most were presented with a prize. i Never before on Pioneer Day has such an inspiring program been presented-readings, speeches, songs-to remind us of the trials and tribulations endured by those who helped make Colorado what it is today. With its interesting costumes, its gallant cowboys, its demure maidens and its dances, it was a gala event and one never to be forgotten. First Semester Party for New Girls The get acquaintedl' party for the new girls of Manual certainly lived up to its name. It was a delightful affair given on September twenty-third, by that ever charming hostess, The Girls' League. The new girls were introduced to the older girls and so were put in the way of getting better acquainted. The welcome to the new girls and a few musical selections proved to be only part of the program. Soon the girls were seen gliding back and forth with their new friends to music from the Orthophonic. Devil Dogs served with ice cream were the refresh- ments. The new girls of Manual felt they too had become Manualites and now realized Manual Spirit is. The Halloween Dance I entered that delightful room where the witches were to reign supreme for the of October the twenty-ninth. I was one of those witches, but no one knew I was there was invisible to that modern jazz-lit crowd. night for I exact My eyes scanned the room that was an replica of my own domain. As I stood there, admiring the fixtures and decorations of orange and black, couples began to arrive in large numbers. I singled out from the crowd a hand- some football hero as he led his beautiful blond maiden across the Hoor to the tunes of Side by Side. That enchanting music which was so delightfully played, I discovered issued from the peculiar instruments of Lario's orchestra which was on a raised platform in the middle of the floor. Black paper cats and witches danced over the sides of the platform. Over in the corner was a booth where the weary waltzers were refreshed by cider and wafers served by dainty maidens. Exactly one half hour after the clock had sounded eleven the music stopped, and as I watched the couples file past me, I saw the football hero escort his beautiful partner from the dance, which only a few minutes before had been a thing of the present but was now only a pleasant memory. This dance was one of the most successful of the school year. It was sponsored by the Franklin Literary Society under the leadership of Irvin Hendryson. The Senior Picnic Why had all the Seniors been looking forward to the date of September 21st? Because on that day the members of the faculty were to throw dignity to the winds and join them in their annual picnic given to the Seniors. At four oiclock everyone was on the way in a car to the mysterious place where the fun was to begin. Mr. Pease led Hthe big parade through alleys, up side-streets and into every imaginable place. Finally they arrived at their destination, which was a little below the museum at City Park. It was abeautiful wide open space carpeted by an extensive lawn and framed with shrubs and trees. Page Seventy-six Page Sffventy-sfwn ' The first attraction of the afternoon was an indoor baseball game between the Faculty and a team of Senior girls. The game proved to be extremely exciting and humorous. The score ended 13 to 11 in favor of the Faculty. Mr. Rhodes, as the Faculty's first baseman, was the hero of the day. Following the game were various races: the three-legged race for both boys and girls, the wheel-barrow race, the girls' indoor baseball throw, and the potato race. Prizes were given to the winner in each. While we were thus enjoying ourselves Mr. Bradley and Mr. Foster and some others of the Faculty were getting ready the main issue of the day, the eats. These were delicious- sandwiches, pickles, peanuts, apples, red and blue iced cakes, and Mr. Bradley's delicious coffee. The picnic broke up with cheers given by the Seniors for each member of the faculty. Truly it was a wonderful day. Booster Party Hello, Claire! Say dearie, did you go to the Booster party given in honor of the football boys, December 9th? You didn'tl Well, you don't know what you missed. It was a keen affair. We gave it in the music room and had lots of fun dancing the Virginial reel. Even some of the sponsors danced. Refreshments did you say? They were certainly good. When we all got tired of dancing we were served ice cream and cake. Then Carl Schneider, who was the toastmaster of the evening, introduced the speakers: Mr. 'Zanoni, Coach jones, John Tarter, Harold Sandberg, Lucille Lewis and Keppel Brierly. Were the speeches good? I'll say they were. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, Keppel Brierly presented a cigarette case to Mr. Zanoni and a wrist watch to Coach Jones on behalf of the team. We went home about the usual time, 11:00 o'clock, and each guest was given a cute little football. It was a splendid party. Yes, it is too bad you couldn't go. Be sure you don't miss the next one. Bye-bye. Christmas Program The Yuletide season was celebrated at Manual this year by the presentation of a one-act play, f'The Maid of France, by several members of the drama class, aided by the musical organizations. The part of Joan of Arc was taken by Irene McRae. Dona Belle Shilling showed her ability in the part of the Hower girl. The parts of the American officer and of Tommy were played by Sherril Martin and Max Susman, while the French ofl'icer's part was carried by Paul Gottrick. The scene, the interior of a cathedral, was most beautiful and impressive, and no small credit is due to Mr. Pease, who made the scenery. The Processional, which entered at the rear of the auditorium and passed singing down the aisles, was a beautiful feature, while the singing behind ,the scenes added much to the effectiveness of the play. Afterwards came Christmas carols, a delight to everyone. Miss Daly and Miss McKelvey both deserve great praise for their hard work in helping to entertain us. They will always be remembered by those who know them best and know of their efforts to help Manual in every way. Christmas Dance One of the most pleasant parties of the year was the Christmas dance given by the Morey Literary Society on the sixteenth of December, 1927. On that evening a great number of gay and lively members assembled in our gym, which had been converted into a picturesque ballroom. In the middle stood a twinkling evergreen tree illuminated by red and green lights, while all around the room the eyes of the guests were greeted with the good old words, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. Everyone who came felt like dancing. And, Oh,'what dancing! Lario's Orchestra blared out some very jazzy music. The feet of the dancers scarcely touched the floor as their owners became more and more enraptured by the spirit of happiness. The best refreshments were served! Punch and wafers! How good they tasted! Nothing that would help to make the affair a success had been overlooked by the committee, which consisted of Virginia Gerber, Josephine Siemer, Ruby Burkhardt and Dorothy Richards. At the stroke of 11:00 the guests trooped merrily away, and soon the Christmas tree was left looking at gloomy space, but every mind was full of pleasant memories. Page Seventy-eight Pagz' Svfvfrzty-fzim Staf Party Everybody seemed to have a Uperfectly scrumptious time at the Staff party given March 16th in the music room for Staffmembers and their guests. With the aid of lamps and candles a twilight glow was produced, making it seem very dreamy and romanticg then the music started. It was the Twilight Entertainers. Dreamy waltzes and oriental fox-trots filled the air. About the middle of the evening refreshments were served. After this the dancing was resumed until 11:00 o'clock, when the strains of Home, Sweet Homel' told the happy young people that the good time was over. The success of the party was largely due to the committees, which consisted of Catherine Flynn, Doris Romig and James Peloff for refreshments, and for decorations--Gerald Willsea, Beatrice Lindsay and Ella Verdeckberg. ' Second Semester Party for New Girls A charming welcome! Something to make one feel at easel That is what the party for the new girls who came to Manual proved to be, for you see it had been planned by the Girl Reserves and the Girls' League. This was the first time these two clubs had ever had a joint affair, and it was surely a great success. Dora Reviera, president of the Girl Reserves, and Antoinette Setaro, president of the Girls' League, each gave a welcoming address at the beginning of the party. After playing a few games and dancing, the new girls felt as if they had been in Manual all their lives, such clever hostesses did the members of the two clubs prove to be. As a climax to the affair, refreshments of ice cream and cup cakes were served to everyone. Arbor Day g To celebrate Arbor Day in the right way, the Forest Service enlisted the aid of Manual's men in 1927. The boys who were planning to go were instructed in the art of tree-planting by the use of slides shown by a forester. The next day they came to school in their old clothes and left after lunch in cars owned by some of the students. Their destination was Chimney Gulch, above Golden, where they were greeted with mattocks, young trees, and more instructions. The boys worked in pairs, one digging the holes and the other planting the small trees. It was estimated that a thousand or more trees were planted by the Manualites. The boys did good work, had a fine time and wound up the affair with a hike through the mountains before going home. The invitation to Come again in 1928 will be accepted without a doubt by those who had the experience. Smoker Manual held its annual Smoker-Rally on Friday evening, January 27, 1928. It was man- aged by Mr. john L. Zanoni, who amused the audience between bouts with some original num- bers. Much promising talent in boxing was displayed and some excellent bouts were fought. The feature of the evening was the McMillan and Letman bout, in which McMillan got the decision. The last number, the Battle Royal, was a draw between Pfretschner and Miller. The Senior 'Uaucleville , Boom! Whiz! It happened on a Saturday in February, at 7:00 o'clock sharp. The star cast of the Senior Vaudeville met to don their paraphernalia. Screams issued from the building as one approached, and all was wrapped in darkness. Someone had forgotten the lights. However, almost immediately the lights went on, and our Page Eighty - Page Eighfy-one hero and Master of Ceremonies, Mr. Zanoni, hurried us off to our respective dressing rooms. Laughter and questions were hurled right and left. Harold Teen called for help--he had his shoulder pads on backwards and they were slowly but surely choking his manly throat. Over in the corner a howl went up. An unknown person had taken a seat in the stove polish used for the Minstrel Act. In another corner excitedly paced Mr. Levi, Mr. Cohen had not yet arrived, and it was very near the time for their act to be given. Stage property was being carried to various parts of the scene of action. The dark, mys- terious play, f'Danger, called for water, therefore two tubs of it and a mop appeared, carried by two of our cadets. The play proved worthy of its name, as some of the members of the Grand Minstrel Show almost performed a high dive into one of the tubs instead of singing the high Z they were expected to sing. Meanwhile a large and enthusiastic audience had gathered and impatiently awaited the rising of the curtain. At last it went up, and the operation by Doctor Radetski was shown to be a great success. The Gerber, Gerber and Rifkin act pleased the audience so greatly that Mr. Zanoni could hardly subdue them enough to introduce the chic Madame Jarley. The Japanese Wrestlers gave an exhibition of jiujitsu that was well worth seeing. One after another the splendid stunts that had been so anxiously prepared entertained and thrilled the crowd, while Mr. Zanoni presided over and animated it all. Then with a swish and a flourish the Vaudeville was over-good things never last-but it left over one hundred dollars in our treasury and made possible our Annual. Three Live Ghosts Three Live Ghosts, the faculty farce, was presented at the Manual Training High School on January 20th and 21st. The audience heralded the play with gales of laughter and bursts of applause. Mr. Steele, our dignified Assistant Principal, was the cause of much of this in his role of Spoofy. Suppressed giggles were heard when Miss Bostwick fPeg Woofersl, with her numerous pigtails, came upon the stage. Her apparent shyness was probably caused by the attentions of Mr. Pease Uimmie Gubbinsj. Rose Gorden fMrs. Grimsleyj and William jones CCoach jonesj conducted a typical American Romance much to the amusement and enjoyment of the audience. We were shocked to discover that Miss Thompson is leading a double life-one as Old Sweetheart with her bottle of gin and the other as secretary of Manual. The play was coached by Miss Daly and her efiicient assistants. Mrs. Gubbinr, Old Sweeihearf' ................. ..... M ISS THOMPSON Peg Woofers .................... ....

CARROLL Stop Thief The Drama Club play, Stop Thief, a fast moving, highly exciting farce, held the audience spellbound for two solid hours on the evening of February 23rd. Sadie Grinstein and Gilpin Carlson, as the two crooks, were very clever thieves, and were ably aided by the absent-minded Albert Civis and the groom, Max Susman. The three detectives, Sam Bloom, Isadore Sunshine and Robert Kretschmar, lived up to their professional reputation by letting the thieves escape while they ran in the other direction in search of them. Meanwhile the ingenious burglars crept stealthily back to get the loot, but they were caught in the nick of time. William Edwards, the best man, showed his ability and experience in the art of love-making by persistently courting and finally winning Irene McRae. Grouped together the three side-splitting acts proved one of the best theatricals ever pro- duced by the Daly Drama Company, and did credit to all who were concerned in its production. Page Eighty-two Pagz' Eighty-Illrn' The Qperetta One of the most successful entertainments of the year was the operetta 'fCaptain Crossbones, given by the members of the Music Department on April 20th. The auditorium was crowded beyond its capacity-chairs had to be brought in, and still there were some people standing. With the first strains of the orchestra the hubbub of voices began to fall, and from the first scene on, silence reigned throughout the audience, broken only by laughter and applause. We didn't know Gerald Willsea could make such a dignified Spanish grandee. He was well supported by his wife, Audrey Shannon, while their daughter, Florence Gerber, as leading lady, performed her part with a great deal of poise. Miss Pelling CLaurene Croniny and Eleanor fMary Edith Arnoldj charmed the audience with their sweet voices as well as with their spirit. Carl Schneider as Richard Stoneybroke, American planter and pirate in one, was excellentg and, needless to say, our old favorite, john jameson, gave us some beautiful music as well as some fun. But speaking of fun-will you ever forget Don Deatherage as Bill Pilgrim or Lee Graham as Captain Bambastio with his police force Zim and Zam fFrank Zolanek and Jack Allenj? And we mustn't forget the pretty postmistress, Inez Wolters. When one looks back at the whole thing through, he isn't sure but what the choruses of relations, and of ser- vants, and of pirates and their wives and sweethearts, were really the best of all. As we write we see their pretty costumes and hear their ringing voices. It was certainly a wonderful per- formance, and everyone was glad when Don Cubeb came out between the acts and presented Miss McKelvey, the musical director, and Mr. Skein, dramatic director, with a token of apprecia- tion. They certainly deserved it. The ffuniorftgenior Prom The junior-Senior Prom was given in Manual's gymnasium on April 28, 1928. The gym was transformed into a fairyland of cerise and silver. The lovely gowns and dainty wrist bouquets of the girls added color and gaiety to the scene. All of the evening was spent in dancing to the delightful music of Krick's 'fTwilight Serenadersf' After all was over and the merry-makers were departing, the affair was declared to be the social success of the year. Many thanks are due to the sponsors and committees who worked hard to make it so. In the Next Room The annual Senior Class Day play will be given on the evening of May 25th. The play chosen for production is Hin the Next Roomf' written by Eleanore Robinson and Harriet Ford. It is to be presented in the school auditorium by a Cast which consists of Alma Brown in. the part of Lorna, Inez Walters as Julia, Mary Williams as Madame De Charriere, Keppel Brierly as Philip Vantine, William Edwards as Godfrey, Gerald VVillsea as Parks, Robert Mountjoy as Rogers, Al Ryzman as Simmond, Sherril Martin as Felix Armand, Sam Bloom as Colonel Piggot, and Charles Bailey as Grady. The story centers about Philip Vantine, who has bought a rare copy of an original Boule cabinet and ordered it shipped to his New York home from Paris. When it arrives it is found to be the original itself, the possession of which is desired by many strange people. Before the mystery concerned with the cabinet's shipment can be cleared up, two persons meet mysterious deaths for meddling with it, and the happiness of many persons is threatened. The mystery of the cabinet is finally cleared up, and the play has a very happy ending. Class Day Class Day, that farewell gathering of the Seniors, occurred on May 25th. The banquet was given in the library, and the girls from the Junior class served the tables. Entertaining toasts were given by prominent members of the class and several members of the faculty. The Senior Class Play, In the Next Room, was presented in the evening. Page Eighty-four Q I Page Eighty-fifve :X- NS' A r X, .I V V Wilcox Declamation Contest On December 2, 1927, Charles Neel of the class of 1928 was announced the winner of thc Wilcox Declamation Contest. He had delivered the oration, Hlntervention with Cuba, by John Thurston. Irvin Hendryson, a junior, with t'An Appeal to Arms by Patrick Henry, received second place. Other contestants were Wesley Nelson and Max Susman from the twelfth grade, Stewart Shaffer from the eleventh grade, and Henry Thomas from the tenth grade. This contest was first established in the Manual High School in the year 1925 by Charles McAllister Wilcox. The prize, consisting of S50 worth of books or a gold medal, is presented to the boy who delivers best an oration written by one of the world's greatest statesmen. Manual will always be grateful to Mr. Wilcox for having established this contest, which is not only a benefit to the participants, but to the student body as a whole. The Shafroth Contest In 1926 the Hon. john F. Shafroth established in the Denver high schools the Shafroth Oratorical Contest for Extempore Speaking. A boy and a girl are chosen from each of the five senior high schools to represent their school in the contest. The boys and the girls meet together on the evening of the contest. Each draws a slip of paper on which are written three topics. The contestants are then allowed one hour in which to choose and prepare one of these topics. The discourse must not exceed seven minutes in length. The winner receives a prize of S50 worth of books or a gold medal. The sixth contest of this kind was held in Manual High on january 6, 1928. Sam Bloom, the boy speaker from Manual, tied with William Landers of East for first place among the boys. Margaret Reedy, also of East, won first place among the girls. Other contestants were Alma Brown, Manual, Charles Housman and Helen Stark, Northg Charles Babcock and Isabel Hansen, Westg and Margaret Lator and Donald Healy, South. It is customary for every school to present a musical number to complete the program. This year North High contributed a Violin Duetg West High, Girls' Voice Classg East High, Violin Solog and South High, Boys' Vocal Trio. Manual's Instrumental Septet, assisted by Samuel Campbell, cornetist, Wesley Nelson, bass soloist, and Margaret Tuttle, pianist, helped much to make the program a success. Page Eighty-.fix The Morey Reading The Morey Prize was established in 1896 by Mr. Chester S. Morey to improve sight reading among the girls in Manual. This prize, which consists of S50 worth of books by standard authors, is given to thc girl who reads best at sight some piece of literature previously unknown to her. The thirty-third contest was held on April 6, 1928. The readers were very evenly matched, and the prize was awarded jointly to Alma Brown, Senior, and Fern Bloom, Junior. Others who contested were: Sadie Grinstein and Ruth Davis, twelfth grade, Thamar Peterson and Inez Cook, eleventh gradeg and Mary Ann Valdez, Lois Pinkett and Marjorie Axtel, tenth grade. The committee of award consisted of Mrs. James Rae Arneill, Mrs. A. B. Shuttleworth and Mr. Herbert M. Munroe. The quintet, accompanied by Donna Belle Shilling, sang 'AHabanera, and John jameson, with the chorus, sang Mid the Hills of Carolina. 'tOn VVings of Song was played hy the violin quartet. Kiwanis The thirty-third Oratorical Contest for the Kiwanis Americanization Prize was held in North High School on March 9, 1928. Charles Babcock of VVest won first place, and Irvin Hendryson, Manual, was awarded second place. This contest was first established in 1895 by I. N. Stevens, Esq., and was continued in 1920 by the Kiwanis Club of Denver. It is open to one representative from each of the Denver high schools. The prize, Consisting of a work of art representing some patriotic subject, is given for the best original patriotic oration on a subject selected by the educational committee of the Kiwanis Club. This object becomes the property of the school, but the individual winner of the prize is presented with a gold medal. The contest takes place annually on the Friday nearest to February 22nd, but this year it had to be postponed until later, on account of the illness of two of the contestants. Music for the occasion was furnished by the various schools, Manual's contribution being given by the Double Octet, assisted by John jameson and Florence Gerber, soloists. Page Eighty-:elven j f Z ILM , Xfbf 1 i The Knauss Medal The Knauss medal is the only prize offered at Manual for a piece of written work. All other contests are occasions in which the entrants appear before an audience and are therefore publicly known. This is the reason, probably, why the contest for the Knauss medal is com- paratively little heard of. Another reason is the fact that it is not awarded until Graduation Day, when the school breaks up, and it is therefore never featured before the school. It is, how- ever, a vefry worth-while contest. The medal is given to a member of the Senior Class who writes the best essay on the subject of 'tAmerican Patriotism. The essay must not consist of more than a thousand words and must be strictly original in its development and expression, although information may be obtained from any source. In addition to style, originality and logical development, neatness, accuracy, spelling and punctuation are all considered. The medal is offered by Francis J. Knauss, a lawyer and also a member of the State Legislature. The winner of the medal in 1927 was Claire Munro. Other winners have been: 1923. .. ......... Allan Frank Elder 1918 ,.................... Adeline Denham 1924... ..... Maurita Mae Anderson 1920 ................. Lucy Margaret -lenner 1925... . ......... Mabel Pauline Israel 1922. . . . . .Mildred Eleanor Stewart 1926. . . .... Ogden VVelborn Bodenheimer Debate Manualls third year in the field of interscholastic debate proved to be exceedingly successful, and the forensic reputation established by those who participated, under the leadership of Miss Daly, is worthy of remembrance. The question contended in debate was: Resolved, That the United States Government should construct and maintain a Boulder Dam according to the Swing- Johnson Bill. Two debates were held with each high school in the city. Once Manual upheld the affirmative and once the negative. The first controversy was with East, and those who upheld the negati e for Manual were Alma Brown and Helen Benardg the return debate at East was taken by Pyred Zolneck and Harold Lindenmeyer, affirmative. Robert Kretschmar and joe Henry, aflirmative, went to South, and Stewart Shafer and Joe Rosenbaum, negative, argued at Manual. At North, Joe Rosenbaum and Irvin Hendryson represented Manual, while Bee Gregg and Mary Takamineiargued for the bill in our own auditorium. At West the Oxford type of debate was used for tihe first time in Denver-an informal, witty discussion, rather than the usual formal debate speech. Those who represented Manual were Sam Bloom, Isadore Sunshine, Beatrice Lowery and Sadie Grinstein. At Englewood High and in several extra debates Manual was represented by Alma Brown, Stewart Shafer, Isadore Sunshine, Keppel Brierly, Bill Edwards, Eve Gard and Joe Rosenbaum.

Athletics Page Eighly-nim F P 1 1 ,COACH JONES COACH ZANONI L Coach jones Coach ones, who has for a number of years coached Boys' Athletics, has been very suc- cessful this ear in the turning out of fighting teams in the major sports. He has coached the football, ba ketball and baseball teams this year. Doc has not only stood for clean athletics, but for cle n living and clean studying. I l f Coach Zanoni Coach Zanoni has been with us for two years now, and has helped very much to promote interest in athletics. Besides being the assistant coach in football, he took full charge of track and boxing., i Tennis Tennis at Manual this year was a great success. The tournament was sponsored by Mr. Carrol and managed by Sherril Martin. All the players displayed skill, but many had to be eliminated ecause of the lack of experience. Among these was Walter Hoskins, who played a remarkablygood and consistent game. There were eighteen entrants in the singles. The four players left in the semi-finals were: Rudolph Hornstein, Sam Ozamoto, Sherril Martin and Raymond Henning. Hornstein won over Ozamoto, 615, 4-6, 6-3. Martin took his match from Henning in straight sets, 6-3, 6-1. This left Martin and Hornstein in the finals, the former of whom won the tournament by the score of 6-1, 6-O., There 'were but six teams entered in the doubles, and the champions were Sherril Martin and Wesley Nelson, who won over Bill Edwards and Rudolph Hornstein, 1-6, 6-3, 6-0. l Although there were not so many competitors, there was a great deal of competition and some very excellent games were played. 1 i r I L Page Nineliv E l I Track 192.7 About fifteen men answered the call for track candidates March 15, 1927, under the direc- tion of Coach john L. Zanoni and the leadership of Captain John Lonergan. Lonergan, Michael Albi and Lyman Prescott were the only returning letter men. Among the others, Keppel Brierly, Shirley Calkins, Vernon Dergance, Ed Ottercrans and Isadore Rosenbloom showed promising results. Coach Zanoni took Captain Lonergan, Albi, Prescott and Brierly to the State meet at Boulder, but none of them were able to place. In the Denver-Boulder League track meet held in the city May 14, 1927, Captain Lonergan raced to victory in the half-mile run, Albi came fourth in the mile, and Dergance took third place' in the shot-put. In the Inter-Class meet the Seniors carried off the honors, with the Sophomores and juniors trailing behind. Boxing The Denver-Boulder Inter-scholastic Boxing Tournament proved to be very successful. The VVest Denver Cowboys won the championship with the sum of twenty points. Manual tied with the Vikings for second place with ten points. South with five took third, and East did not produce a single man for the finals. John Slovek, Manual's 90-pounder, and Harold Letman of the 158-pound division were the ones who won their divisions for Manual. The other bouts ended as follows: 103 Pounds-Ray Vasques, West, won from Clement Lamoreaux, North. 115 Pounds-Bert Willis, West, beat Roland Thomis, North. 125 Pounds-Arthur McAvoy, North, defeated Tom Kennedy of West. 145 Pounds-Chuck Laverty, South, won from George Summer of North. 170 Pounds-john Krebbs of North had to take an extra round to win from Randal Nuss- baum of West. Heavyweights-Eugene Moore, West, beat Al Turner of North. Page Ninety-one Early i dates.

BASEBALL TE l l L Football l Football at Manual during the 1927 season was far from successful, even though the boys did show their opponents that the game was not won until the final whistle had blown. Manual was handicapped with a small team and a green one, and Coach Jones had little material to, choose from. Even though Manual had the smallest student body in the Denver- Boulder Inter-scholastic League, the Bricklayers were backed by more football rooters than any other school in the conference. They were behind the team from the start to the finish, and are to be complimented for their good school spirit. The team was perhaps the lightest in the league, and in several games this counted a lot against them. Giving way to the weight of the Boulder and North boys cost the loss of two games, an in the West game the heavier Cowboys managed to hold the Thunderbolts to a scoreless ti . The season was started against our friendly enemies, the East Denver Angels. Manual was outfought jnd outcharged, losing a heartless game. Manual did score, however, when late in the first q ,arter Barney Miller picked up a fumble and ran forty-five yards for a touchdown. Don Deatherage kicked a goal to give Manual seven points. The est Denver Cowboys were outfought and outplayed by the Thunderbolts throughout the whole ame, but Manual could not get the ball across the line. The Thunderbolts made thirteen firbt downs to the Cowboys' three, but West got several breaks that prevented the Bricklayersl from scoring. In thislcontest the fellows fought like Trojans, but West held them when close to their own line. With several minutes to play, Murphy, Manual's big gun, intercepted a pass and ran sixty-Five ylards before he was tackled. The Bricklayers bucked the line for four downs, but at the endiof the fourth down the ball was still one foot from the goal line. As the whistle blew, the ilfowboys kicked out of danger, and the game ended a scoreless tie. Bouldelr next came to Denver to show the Bricklayers how to play football. The Manual boys were dead on their feet, and the Preps went home with a 25-6 victory. On the last play before the half, Murphy passed to Deatherage, and it resulted in a touchdown. The try for the goal kick failed. - Then came the championship North eleven, and how the Hodcarriers did fight against their much heavlier and experienced team! Weight, and nothing else but that, lost for the Manual boys, and the 15 to 0 defeat was not hard to swallow when all the papers predicted a tremendous score against the Bricklayers. In the final game the Thunderbolts were pitted against the South Denver Rebels. The boys foug all the way to win a sweet victory, 19 to 12, over the opponents. Manual wasnit conceded al chance. in the world to win this game because of the wonderful showing the Rebels made whe they held the East Denver Angels to a scoreless tie. The Bricklayers played an aggressive ames and had the never die spirit. Touchdowns were scored by Sandberg, Murphy and Deatherage. Manual's Big Berthas during the season were Harold Murphy, Captain Briefly and Don Deatherag . The following men received their 'tD's for football: Captain Brierly, Schafer, Ryzman, arter, Sandberg, Bruce, Miller, Peloff, Landis, Deatherage, Murphy, Bosick, Otter- crans, Smi , and Manager Cohen. l STANDINGS Team I W.

Basketball Basketball at Manual during the season of 1928 was very successful. The Thunderbolts won two games in the first round of play and three in the second, making a total of five games won and live lost. The two games with South proved disastrous for Manual. The Rebels were in their best form for both games, taking the first 37 to 18, and the second 45 to 20. Boulder had a hard time winning from the Bricklayers in their first meeting. It was a close game,f with the Preps getting hot in the last few minutes to take the game 19 to 18. In the second 'meeting the Manual boys were off and lost an uninteresting game by the score of 27 to 17. The twlo contests with East were sweet ones. Manual took the first one 14 to 11, due to the good basket-shooting of Al Ryzman. The second meeting proved fatal for East, for the Thunderbolts won by the score of 16 to 15 and knocked the Angels out of the championship. Al Ryzmari made the first eleven points for Manual and practically won the game single-handed. Handidapped by North's low ceiling, the Bricklayers lost the first game 25 to 2. The next meeting was better, and Manual came out on top, the score being 16 to 15. The finst West game was a thriller. The score at the end of the first quarter was 15 to 3, when Al ldyzman got hot and closed the gap. It took the Bricklayers two extra periods to win out, ZQ to 25. Manual played rings around West in the final game and piled up the score of 30 to lb. Al Ryiman proved to be a stellar forward. He was chosen on the All-City, and was also the high sqoring ace of the Con e enqg, H-e pulled many of the games out of the fire, and is the best forward Manual hkha in years. Captaih Carl Schneider proved to be an excellent captain. He kept the spirit high in all the games,.coming through with his share of points., Don lleatherage, captain-elect, played both guard and forward. He was equally good at both positions and should come through well for Manual next season. Gip Carlson, otherwise known as Dynamite, played a clever game at forward. He also had a good eye for the basket. Aubrey Knight also showed some clever Hoor work at forward. Bill Edwards got hot in the last games. He showed clever guarding and passing. Kep Brierly, his team-mate, certainly could take the ball of the back-board. The lettermen for the season were: Captain Carl Schneider, Captain-elect Don Deatherage, Al Ryzman, Bill Edwards, Kep Brierly, Gip Carlson, Aubrey Knight, Jimmy Peloff and Man- ager john fMoulton. l l I 1 r H eiv,i,',,kf'fw lug, I I ' 'iW'i'IN fx 'lo 1 'NA 6, W' V: ' 1 V ,W iw klqfplygfg , NJ- . idfgi 1 ,Q 4' 1 - Henna , 1- H' ' uf gan, Qty, if' ,rdf 1 lf' 4 if .41 I f ,6 Y gn, 1 Page Niufly-six I fn' Nir11'Iy-,vfiwz BASK ETHALL TEAM A l f p Miss Carter Miss Carter, who has for a number of years coached the Girls' Athletics, has had a very successfullseason this year.

Girls' Athletics At first sight one might wonder why so little space is given to Girls' Athletics as compared with Boys. The reason is that there are no lnter-scholastic games for girls in the Denver schools. The Girls' Athletics are simply the outgrowth of the physical training department ot the school and all the match games are Inter-class instead of lnter-school. This does not arouse so much interest outside the department, hut is prohahlv all the hettrr for the girls. Certainly they show fine form and sportsmanlike spirit and are a great credit to their ahle instructor, Miss Carter. Page Ninrly-uint' Wn we-aqfw .,. fw1.m- . mn, -,v - V s A.
