Manual football teams won state championshipsin 1925,
1936, 1938,1948, 1959and 1966,but none of thoselegendary
teamswon as many games-I3-as the 1988Crimsons. They
remainthewinningestteamin schoolhistory.
The alumni will honor the team at halftime of'the MaleManualgameat the stadiumon Oct. 25, but the teamshouldalso
be recognizedfor the adversityit overcame.
When SteveHaag took over as headcoachin the summerof
1985, he found nothing but frustration. Manual was just
beginningas a magnetschoolandthe changeover
meantthe loss
ofa lot oftalentedathletes.
Haag placeda tryout ad in the schoolpaperand only seven
playersanswered.All summerhis coachesstayedon the phone,
callingparentsofprospectiveplayers. They wrote letters,talked
to the P.E.teachersanddid everythinghumanlypossibleto field
a team.
They built characterthat season,but not muchof a team. Only
32 dressedvarsity,half of whom were freshmen,and they were
winlessin l0 games. The next year they won only three,then
improvedto 5-5 in 1987.
In 1988 Haag's Crimsons won all their games but one,
defeatingtheir old rival, Male High, not once,but trvice,the fint
Manualteamto do that since1899. Their only loss cameat the
handsof Trinity in the statechampionshipgame. It was the
most miraculouscoachingjob in the school's storied football
history.
Winning those13 gamesalsohelpedto unite a diversestudent
body. Today,Manual's large studentfollowing can perhapsbe
tracedto the excitementgenerated
by this team.
It was a specialteam that leamedto play together. It could
boast of only one Division One player, Wesley Jackson,who
earneda scholarshipat the University of Kentuckyand became
the Most Valuable Offensive Lineman for a Peach Bowl
Championship
team.
Jacksonwas also first team All-State along with teammate
Justin Smith, who played his college ball at Alcorn State.
Guard Ara Jackson played for Eastem Kentucky, and running
back Brian Jordan and wide receiverMike Faulkner boarded
a Greyhoundbus on their own, sold their abilitiesto the coachat
RiversideJuniorCollegein Califomiaandbecamemembersof a
NationalChampionshipJC team.
Come on alums! Let's all come out to honor this team for
their 25thanniversaryon Oct. 25.
We also hope to see you at our luncheon at Hurstboume
CountryClub on Sept.19whenyou canmeetour new principal.

I have been out of
town and am just now reading the
Alumni Newsletter,which is always so
very good.
I readyour column last year aboutthe
WAKY Rock & Roll Reunion and
Manual gradsand garagebands. I have
twin brothers,John and Bill Keeling
'74, who have a popularband that has
been playing throughoutKentucky for
a good while. Bill and John were in
the Manual marching band. John was the drum major and
played the sousaphone,and Bill played trumpet. They are the
founding membersof the band "Caribou," which played at the
WAKY Rock & Roll Reunionon June22. John plays bassand
sings, Bill is on keyboard and sings, along with frve other
members,including brass."Caribou" organizedThe Louisville4-Moore Benefit Concert at Iroquois Amphitheaterin June to
benefit Moore, Oklahomatornadovictims.
We have six Manual alumni in our family. Our nephew,

Editor's note: The Manual tradition was thrust upon him at
an early age. Mr. Mayes' mom, Patsy Mayes,was a member
of the secondco-ed graduating classin 1951. Going to the
Manual-Male gamesbecamepart of the fabric of his early
childhood. During Mr. Mayes' first stint at Manual, he had
the opportunity to work closely with the Alumni Office
which afforded him the opportunity to gain a deeper
understandingof what it meansto be a Crimson.

Mike,
Your announcementat the June Alumni luncheon indicating that
funds were still neededin order for this museumto come to life,
not only "nudged"me into action,but hascompelledme to write.
Enclosedyou will find my contributionfor the Manual Museum.
I should have taken care of this some time ago but for no good
reasonwhatsoever,I drug my feet.
I'm confident this planned museum will be a superb, lasting
tribute to Manual and will be filled with photos, stories, and a
collectionof memorabilia.What a grandopportunifyto re-visit our
youth and also learn so much about the colorful past of our great
school.
I issue a challengeto my fellow classmatesto come on board
also. You indicated that at this time our class (1964) had
contributed $609 toward the museumwhile the classesof 1949,
1953, 1956, 1962 and.2004 had,all either reachedor surpassed
their goal -- which is to match$l per graduateyear.
We simply cannotallow otherclassesto put us to shame!A mere
$1,355will enableus to match our goal of $1,964 (even more
would be awesome).Come on Class of 1964, we needyou! Dust
offthat checkbook andhelp us reach our classgoal of51,964.00.
I havefaith in you...I know we cando it.

Classring foundandreturned
The Manual Alumni web site posted that a 1966 class ring had
been found. It was recovered by Tim McNutt at Kentucky
Kingdom in Louisville during the restorationof an old ride site.
Tim notified the Alumni Office which alertedthe web site and the
hunt for the owner was on.
The 1966 ladies ring had the initials EMB and was found to
belong to Elsie May Botts. She was then contacted by Gene
Howell '69. Ellie (as shenow prefersto be called) had reluctantly
lent the ring to her daughter who lost it on one of the rides in
l997.It was retumedto Ellie in excellentcondition.
Manual iunior chosenfor
When Manualjunior Christopher Zhou retumsto schoolthis

For two alumni functionsin 2014
by Alan Cloyd '64
Back in the day Manualwas a rock and roll school. Kids were in
garagebands,pep rallies featuredimprovisedrock songsto
promotethe schoolpaper,and didn't we all like the soundsand
havefun at the talent shows?
RecentlyManualAlumni haveaddedmuchto Louisville'sRock
and Roll Reunionat the zoo,not to mentionthe additionof Wayne
Young '61 andWayneMcDonald'62 to our Hall of Fame-both
locally favoredentertainersin their own right.
Soooo...whatwould you think abouta tour of Cleveland's
famousRock and Roll Hall of Famein May of 2014? We'll travel
in a luxuriousMiller Motor Coach,visit the $98 million Hall, stay
nearbyin Cleveland,dine togetherandbe homethe next evening.
A small amountwould be addedto the modestcost of the trip to
help fund the new museum. Think aboutit. It'Il be fun to sing all
the way to Lake Erie and renewacquaintances
with old friends.

A secondeffort to increasefunding for our new museumwill
alsotakeplacein May.
I've riddenBMW motorcycles
well over200 thousandmilesand
have done24-hovr,1,000mile marathonsto raisemoneyfor other
goodcauses.I want to do it again and I want you to sponsor
me at $1 per mile. All contributionswill go to the museum
fund.
How many miles will you sponsorfor this event? Ten miles is
$10...Onehundredmilesis $100.
If a 68-yearold Manual grad can flog that Beemerall day and all
night, rain or shine,you oughtabe able to savesomecoins
betweennow andMay of 2014.
Savea buck a week and sponsorold Alan for 40 miles!
I love Manual and my classmates.I can't write the checkfor the
museumbut I can do a few thingsto help raisethe museum
funding. Help with rock and roll and with motorcycles.It doesn't
eet betterthan that.

of Manual's cherishedhistory now boasts a treasury of $29,
953.48as of August 17 with five classeshavingmet or exceeded
their goalsof $ 1 per year of graduation.
At the presenttime we are looking for a professionalcompany
to help designfirst classdisplaysof which we all can be proud.
The most logical place for the location seemsto be the vestibule
of the auditorium.
The classes
of 1949,1953,7956,1962
and2004havemet or
exceeded
theirgoals. The top 7 fund raisers,by class,are:

We would be remissif we didn't recognizeand thank
those leaderswho either contributedthe lion's shareper

classmates:Coleman Howlett '62, Bill Shain '530Roy
Burks '49, Hank Bertelkamp '49, Don Gambrell '56,
Merle Likens'61, and Boyd Hurst'58. The$10,000for
the Classof 2004was given by an anonymousdonor.
Coleman is responsiblefor a large donation generated
throughhis efforts at the 1962classreunion. Boyd did the
samething at the recent 1958 reunion. Many thanks to
thesefellows. What's happenedto the leadershipin the
otherclasseswe wonder?

Think of all thejobs that were filled alongthe way by Brook & Oak gradsin one of the training fields suchas sheetmetal work,
woodworking,pattemmaking and foundry work, mechanicaldrawing,machineshops,surveyingand electricity. Although MTHS
startedout emphasizingthe training aspectof education,therewas still a very solid academicprogram. For thosewho concentratedon
the academicpath the training classeswere a bonus. Theseclassesprovidedan introductionto skills that were useful for life.
I took woodworkingclasses.I leamedto use many handtools (hammer,saw,square,drill, chisel,plane,etc.) as well as power tools
(table saw,band saw,planer,lathe,drill press,etc.). Also therewas.thatversatiletool, spndpaper,which had many uses. We startedby
choosinga project such as an end table or a coffee table. Materials to be used were selectedand planning the work began. The
materialwas cut to size,planedand sanded.For largerpieceslike the top, severalpieceswere glued togetherto make the sizeneeded.
The piecewas sanded,cut to size and the edgeroutedwith selecteddesign. Mortise and tenonjoints were cut to fit the legs to the side
pieces,legs were cut to length and everythingwas dry-fitted before assembly. Drawer pieceswere cut, fitted and assembled.When
everythingwas readythe table was glued,assembled,squaredup and preparedfor finishing. Finishingwas the most tediouspart of the
process.The finish was vamish or shellac,I don't rememberwhich. This was in the daysbeforepolyurethanewas available. The first
coat was applied,then sandedsmooth. Sameprocessfor the secondcoat. The third coat was applied and srnoothed,using pumice
stoneand oil. Quite a bit of "Manual" labor! The final reward was an A if you did a good job. Then we were allowed to take the
finisheditem home. It was a commonsight to seeguys carryinga table aboarda city bus after classat the end of the semester.
Thereare probablya lot of Manual tablesaroundLouisville. I still have mine.
