194 194 'Thu Typical Manual Scenes I J Sandstone Railing tM.T.l'l.S.l. Anyone who has ever attended Manual has a ten- der spot in his heart for the sandstone railing. The railing runs from the main building to the gym. ln all weather, it has been a center of attraction. but in the summer months, especial- ly, it attracts many of Manual's students. During nice weather, this setting provides a typical scene at Manual. Students oc- cupv all sitting space, and ill? railing is truly a center ot' all joyous events. Manual Halls tM.T.H.S.l. When M a n u al halls are emptied each night, they hold an air of loneliness. With the coming ol' another day, however, they are once again filled with the hurry and scurry ot' all students. When the pass- ing bell rings at Manual, the halls are instantly filled. each student ru sh in g to his next period class. Once again, the bell rings and the halls are mag- ically emptied. Senior Alley tM.T.H.S.l. The tradition ot' senior alley was started a good many years ago. This tradition was started by senior students who felt that they had a right to regard their lockers in the most convenient and popular location in the school. For this reason, the second tloor across from the well was chosen. The tradition ol senior alley has long been a sacred one, and students other than seniors, dare not infringe upon this age-old tradition. The Well ' tM.T.ll.S.l. Tradition holds a sacred place in e a ch of o u r hearts. Of all spots in Manual, the most traditional is the Man- ual Well. Graduates still remem- ber the thrills it has held for them, and new students live in the thought that each day it will provide many exciting events. To see a large group of students around Manual's Well is to see a typical scene in Manual at all times of the day. The Well reigns as the center ot' all activity. nderbolt ,H lub: MK- I fi .

The peace of the United States has been disrupted. Japan has umnei'cifully pounded the shores of one of our American outposts. But one course lay open to the President and p e o p 1 e of the United Stateswan open declai'a- tion of war upon all axis powers of the world. A tense feeling s e e m e d to hover over the whole of Manual as each 'ndividual earnestly and quietly listened to the President of the United States speak be- fore Congress in Washington. Another scene, however, was be- ing enacted in the auditorium. Christmas carols were b e i n g sung. Peace on earth, good will toward men s e em e d to echo throughout the halls, These two scenes portrayed a striking con- trast which resulted in many of Manuals finest boys 1 e a vin g school to join the great armed forces of America to preserve our liberty, justice, and democ- racy. Patriotic gestures took place in the organization of girls' Red Cross Sewing Clubs, and boys and girls received per- mission to sell Defense Savings Stamps and Bonds to the stu- dents of Manual. The selling of Patsy Curley. . . . Typical Manual Girl November 7. 1941 tM.T.H.S.l. The campaign t'or a typical Manual girl has been completed at last. The outcome proved to be very exciting, indeed. When the final ballots were counted, Patsy Curley was found to be well ahead of the other contest- ants. Patsy has all of the qualifica- tions ot' a typical girl. ller sin- cere interest in people. her wit and her humor have won hcl' many friends. ller intelligence and scholastic standing rates as one of the higest in Manual, and her d i' a mat i c ability is well known to all students. Composing Patsy's club inte,-. ests are Girl Reserves, Girls' League, International Relations. Thunderbirds, National Honor Society, Thunderbolt Staff, and she functions as vice-president of the Student Council. Playing the piano is one of her hobbies. Lovely blond' hair and blue eyes accentuate Pat's attractive smile and winning personality. ls it any wonder that this charm- ing graduate will be missed by other Manualites? K these stamps and bonds resulted in hitting a new high and was met by an enthusiastic response. Most important of all, the feel- ing of Americanism has not been altered because ot' race, color, or creed. The true feeling of free- dom lies imbedded in the heart of each Zilanualite, All efforts have been directed toward main- taining the liberty awarded to us by our forefathers, and each of us will fight to the death to defend lt. The conservation of paper met an enthusiastic response by Man- ual students. Paper consei-va- tion is the watchword of faculty mnmhers Rnd students alike' September 4, 1942 tM.T.H.S.l. Pioneer Day 1941 marked the ending of a full year's work to complete the 19-41 Thunderbolt and the beginning of another year's efforts, prior to the pub- lication ot' the 1942 Thunderbolt. Each day, conferences were held. Ideas and suggestions were submitted in an effort to develop a suitable dedication for the year- book. Much research was com- pleted on various subjects. At last, the Staff arrived at a con- clusion. The 1942 Thunderbolt would be dedicated to the men and women engaged in Journal- ism. After poring over many yearbooks, th e Annual S t a ff could find no yearbook bearing the dedication to Journalism. ln this way could be acknowl- edged the unselfish attitude and pioneering spirit of those en- gaged in the growing profession of Journalism to bring to the world news-stirring e v e n t s so that a wider knowledge a n d deeper understanding of world- wide situations would be ac- quired. Necessity, as the mother of in- vention, introduced the printing press, and America published its first modern newspaper in 1833. Journalism to the a v e ra g e man in the street' is represent- ed by the reporter and photog- rapher. These men, with but lit- tle thought as to personal gain, put their lives, or at best, their health, into jeopardy in getting stories and p i c t u r e s of fires, floods, famine, p r i s o n breaks, and riots. At the present time, photographers and re por t ers work and move with the Army on all t'ront lines of action. The pictures of destruction which we see in our daily paper may have cost the life ot' an intrepid, ad- venturous-minded photographer. liecause of th e i r admirable character and courageous exhibi- tions in sui-mounting obstacles which stand in the path of the development of the newspaper- to the men and women engaged in Journalism we dedicate this -- the 19-12 Thunderbolt.
