GIVE ME A LIFT . . . 1982 graduate Mike Porter chats with senior Robin Mallory. After school, many students spend time in casual conversation. High spirits falling together The beginning of school in the fall opened up new ad- ventures and an exciting year ahead. Leaving the summer sun and the excitement came all too soon for the restless students. The once carefree days of laughter and friends would be filled with books, tea- chers, and schedules. The life of summer was unpredic- table and thrilling. So it was difficult to resume classes and live in a world where everything was planned, where homework, study, and concentration were expected. However, the hard work, study, and practice paid off. The athletic teams, determined to prove that they had the ability to go all the way, fired up for their push toward winning seasons. Clubs launched into new activities, accepting the chal- lenge to work together to achieve new goals. Spirited students were willing to give this year their best and strive for the top in every class. With all the exciting activities offered, Redskins fired up with enthusiasm. The many adventures that confronted the Manualites were to make the return to school worthwhile and to provide a great finale to a memorable summer, a great beginning to a promising school year. 1 + 2 IS . . .

Excitement keeps the life burning Activities filled the lives of the stu- dents. Keeping up the bustling pace of homework and extra duties was no easy task. The extra effort that was taken by the students to participate in all the extracurriculer activities was quite rewarding. One of the advan- tages of being in so many functions is the knowledge you gain, from being in so many situations. Also you learn to be able to handle resposibility and be dependable. The disadvantages of being in so much is that you ' re con- stantly busy and never have time to rest. Sometimes things can really pile up at one time and it can be frustrat- ing, commented senior Marcell Gib- son. There were at least twenty clubs or activities offered to the students. This left room for some imagination and colorful ideas for special trips or pro- grams. Attending different functions meant getting involved. That was what student life at Manual was all about. I like being in so much because of all the different and interesting peo- ple you meet. Also I like to keep busy and by being in so much you always have something to think about, jun- ior Susie Smith stated. A student ' s life was one of excite- ment and thrills. It was like an un- quenchable fire that continually burned. WIN A GOLDFISH . . . 1982 graduate, An- thony Golden, watches carefully as junior Ro- bert Bruce tries his best to win a goldfish at the science booth during the Pow Wow. WHICH WAY DID HE GO? . . .
