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.

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.

Blue Jackets Plan Events November 15, 1941 tM.T,H.S.l. Manual's oldest and best, known pep club is once again busily engaged in plans for the coming year. This club is widely known and membership has long been based on specific qualihcations that have proven profitable and are in no way limited. As only a limited number of new members are taken in they must understand and live up to each qualification thoroughly. Each person wishing to become a member of the club must be voted in by previous members. He must have a B average and a willingness to work for the in- terest of the school. All mem- bers of the club must llphold the school's honor and must earnest- ly support their club and school activities. The Blue Jackets for many years have sponsored the Annual Homecoming Dance and Com- munity Chest. drive. From the grand results obtained in both affairs, the club has specified its lasting value. This year the members have furnished color guards for as- semblies and football games. Ms: 3 B E251 K is A b They have sponsored many school rallies and have , pre- sented their school with a beau- tiful new banner of Manual cadet blue with red letters and trim- ming bearing the white Thun- derbolt.. R . Members of the National Honor Society, Prime Requisitcs Prove Valuable Character, Scholarship. Lead- ership, and Service-ethese are the requisites which a candidat.e t'or membership in the National Honor Society must possess. Character may be demon- strated by meeting all obliga- tions promiztly, by working faith- fully in classes, and by demon- strating a spirit of cordiality and sincerity. To be eligible for membership a student must rank in the upper 33 per cent of the class in schol- arship. Leadership is interpreted to mean demonstrating a. high de- gree of recitation in classroom activities, successfully holding positions of responsibility, and otherwise demonstrating initia- tive. Service can be shown by a willingness to help when called upon, by sho'wing courtesy to visitors, and by helping to main- tain a loyal attitude toward the regulations of the school. At the completion of the 1942 school year the National Honor Society is to be discontinued. A Don A. Carr-Biology and National Honor Society sponsor. Frances H.
