Queen Angie and King Phil Fired-up ' Skins lose heartbreaker Hello, ladies and gentlemen, I ' m your local yearbook activities D.J. here to bring you the coverage on the fun filled Homecoming festivities. Highlighting the evening was the crowning of Home- coming King Philip Fingers and Queen Angie Mina. Throughout the week there were many enthusiastic and spirited activities that fired up our Redskin team. The freshman, sophomore, junior, and sen- ior classes of ' 81 and ' 82 showing the most spirit towards backing our team. This made a perfect record for the class of ' 81, which has won the sign contest each of its four years at Manual. Wednesday, October 1 , was Red and White Sock Day. Thursday, October 2, was Button Day and the Pep Session. Everyone wore different buttons that displayed his Manual spirit. The Pep Session was spectacular, with many groups involved in its production. Its major attraction was the old Manual cheerleaders portrayed by Captain Mrs. Marilyn Dever, Mrs. Terry Clark, Mrs. Toni Hammer, Miss Molly McGarry, Miss Dorothy Powell, and Miss Joyce Simmons. Friday, October 3, was Red and White Day. Manualites paraded through- out the school, showing their Redskin pride. Also on Friday, the Publications Redskin Rowdies dressed like Indians to help arouse excitement for the game. Masoma sold mums during the week for $1.25. Students picked them up Fri- day after school. Director of Activities, Miss Joyce Sim- mons commented, There was a great deal of cooperation between the clubs. I hope the years to come will run as smoothly as this Homecoming. ' ' Several clubs were involved in the festivities. Among them were Art club, DECA, FCA, and French club. Others who participated were Publications, Spanish club, stage craft, Track- ettes and Thespians. Our fighting Redskins played ex- tremely well but could not quite come out on top of a 21-23 score. Senior Mark Bowell commented, I was very depressed because I thought in the se- cond half we played the best football that we have played all year. I guess it just was not meant to be. We could not blame the loss on anybody in particular. We lost the game as a team. Bringing the exciting week to an end was the Key Club Masoma sponsored dance in the cafeteria following the game.

Band conquers Sweepstakes for three in a row Manual ' s Marching Redskins once again marched to victory during the 1980-1981 school year. Under the direction of Mr. Bruce R. Smith and drum major Christine Sauer, the band, defending champion of the Central Indiana Marching Band Contest, was again victorious at this contest. The band won the Sweep- stake trophy in Class C for the third consecutive year at Bush Stadium on Sept. 27. Chris Sauer was awarded the out- standing drum major trophy in Class C. She said, Being a senior, I ' m go- ing to miss many things, but nothing quite as much as the band. When you become part of the band, you become part of a family— a family that works and wins! The following week brought another victory for the band. Competing in the Indiana School Music Association Marching Band Contest at Columbus East High School on Oct. 4, the band won its seventh consecutive first divi- sion trophy in Class A. The Manual band is the proud holder of the longest series of first di- visions in marching and playing in central Indiana. Besides contests, the band was kept busy performing at all home foot- ball games. Playing a variety of music for their pre-game and half-time shows, the band also played the school song and cheered on the foot- ball team during the games. The Veteran ' s Day parade was the last marching performance until the band marched in the 500 Festival pa- rade on May 23. The concert season began as soon as the marching season ended. Band members changed styles of music, and some members changed to con- cert instruments. Concert season was also a busy one. The band gave a concert on March 13 and then was one of several groups performing at the Music De- partment ' s annual May Festival on May 8. The band also competed in the Indiana School Music Association ' s Organizational Contest on April 25. Rehearsals to prepare for the marching season began in August and continued through November, with members practicing every day af- ter school. Symphonic band members practiced after school on Thursdays, with separate sections of the band practicing on other days of the week to perfect their playing. Even after the marching season ended, the Warriorettes remained busy performing dance routines at home basketball games. During the basketball season, some of the members became the spirited Pep Band who played at home bas- ketball games and cheered on the team. Their music included a variety of current selections, the school song, a pep cheer, and a peppy drum solo. The band had a variety of fundrais- ing projects to help pay expenses for the year. With the assistance of Mr. Smith and the Band Boosters, a group of parents, former bandsmen, and other interested persons, a car- wash, a paper drive, and a cutathon were held. Band members also sold candy and magazine subscriptions. WARRIORETTES Front row: Sue Saylor, Chris Jones, Donna Harp, Lisa Underwood, Kitty Maxwell, Mary Jo Johnson, Allison Smith, Vanessa Garrett.
