The gym has long been the center ot' all outstanding activ- ities at Manual, and so, the dances in all their gaiety were held there. Large crowds were attracted by the sport dances. w h e re everyone was at ease and a gay time was had by all. The Prom, in all its grandeur, was the most popular affair of the year. IJ a n 1- i n g feet and sparkling eyes were everyyrliere, and here the Queen reigned in all her glory. The motto of each dance has been original ideas, better or- chestras, easier checking, and festive decorations. Each motto has been t'ollowed to achieve larger crowds, greater enjoy- ment, and better financial re- sults. It these niottoes have been achieved, as it seems they have, Manual dances were a huge suc- cess. Sponsoring clubs have done excellent jobs and have made these activities ot' outstanding importance.

This is to see that there are as many boys as there are girls. Other than this, there are no requirements made for stns dents wishing to become mem- bers. This year, the caller's spot was held by Clyde t'henault, His duty has been to call the steps tor all danees. Each year, the club takes part in the Annual Play Festival held at the City Auditorium.

It Has Been Said- Practice Makes Perfect November 18, 1941 fM.T.H.S.l. Practice, Practice -this has been the motto of the Thunder- birds and the band for the many past weeks. These c 0 n t i n u e d practices have taken place on the Manual playground, and the purpose has been to improve Manual's dem- onstrations at the fo o t b a ll games. The demonstrations are very colorful, and they add greatly to the entertainment of the crowd during the intermission of each game. The members have practiced arduously and, from the demon- strations they have given, their work has been well rewarded. Margaret H.

Once again the Thunderbirds have taken in new members, and each girl was happy to learn she had passed the requirements is- sued by the club. When the club flrst became or- ganized in Manual, a constitution was drawn up and the require- ments have never varied. Each girl.knows the purpose of this club, which is to create and maintain school spirit and coop- eration. The activities of the club consist of members sitting together at football games and participating in field demonstra- tions. Marching in parades and sponsoring pep rallies are two of the many services this club has given to Manual. lf a girl wishes to become a member of this club she must understand all rules, she must be a member of the junior or senior class, and she must purchase an M.A.P. which entitles her to attend all football games. Each member is willing to perform all duties as- signed to her by officers of the club and faculty. The girls are told of their se- lections shortly after the first of May by the officers and execu- tive body of the club. This group has the duty of selecting the new members. Although 7:30 practices during football season seemed tiring, the efforts of this group were well rewarded when the Thun- derbirds. arrayed in their strik- ing red and blue uniforms, marched faultlessly down the field to help cheer our team on. Enthusiastic Hi-Lites Plan Ga Events April 30, 1942 iM.T.H.S.l. The election of the Hi-Lites has been completed and Beatty Hobbs is the new president.

Since the time of its organi- zation by Mr, George Heywood in 1936 the club has accomplish- ed a great many valuable goals. lt has helped to increase the so- cial life and privileges of its members.
