Senior Activities include Senior Day And Senior Night The first Senior class of Manor High School participated in a series of graduation-related activities beginning with Senior Day on which seniors dressed as they did when they were in the first grade. On June 4, an assembly was held for the student body. At this time, the Senior class presented gifts to the school — a walnut podium and a flag bearing the student-designed school seal. June 5 was Class Night directed by Mrs. Diggs and Mr. Roberts. The program was a parody on television shows and commercials that had been popular during the twelve years the seniors were in school. On June 8, a reception was held honoring graduates and their parents. A short program in the field house was followed by a beautifully catered reception in the cafeteria.
