A Night to Remember The 1985 prom was unique for Manualites. In previous years ar Manual, rhe juniors and seniors held separate proms. For the first time the two proms were combined to form a joint Junior-Senior Prom. The seniors selected the Airport Holiday Inn as the sight of the prom, while the tradition of the ju- niors decorating the ballroom was maintained. The official prom col- ors of blue and white shimmered throughout the ballroom; Just the Two of Us was chosen for the theme. The band Promise, with Mark Peeper as the lead vocalist, helped couples romance the night away. The manner in which the royalty was chosen was slightly altered for this prom. A prince and princess were selected from the junior class, while the senior candidates vied for the title of king and queen. As the evening wound down, the time for the crowning of the royal family drew near. For the sixteen candi- dates, this was a moment of excite- ment as they eagerly waited for names of the winners to be an- nounced. Danny Johnston and Kim McNeely were voted prince and princess, while 1985 graduates Doug Richards and Laura Robling were crowned as the official king and queen. To top off the evening, a post- prom was held at the Boy ' s Club for all seniors and their guests. Swim- ming, basketball, and various other activities had been planned. This gave the seniors an opportunity to socialize and made them more aware that graduation was near. The post-prom, which lasted un- til 6:00 a.m., concluded with a breakfast served by the P.T.O. FLOWERS AND A program serve as mo- mentoes of a romantic evening. 8 Prom

School opens with changes m When the Redskins entered Manual in September, they encoun- tered many changes. The normal routine — pay rental, get schedules changed, and fill out attendance cards — remained the same. Be- cause of the construction, many students had to learn their way around again. Freshmen had to make the great- est adjustments because high school life was completely new to them. Changing classes, learning new teachers and new classmates, and getting used to a new building are things that go along with being a freshman. Most freshmen, howev- er, were eager to begin their four- SENIORS TIM HUGHES and Teresa McHenry look for homework before class starts. year journey through high school. Freshman Tanisha Lacy said, I was ready to become a freshman, even though it is a lot different than ju- nior high. While the start of school was hectic for the students, the faculty also had some problems to solve. Some classrooms were not finished, the gym classes met in study halls, and some rooms had no working PA system. The counselors spent many hours changing schedules, correcting errors, and making sure the students had the classes they needed. Fortunately, the hustle and bus- tle did not last very long. Within a few weeks, the Redskins settled into the routine of school. c UDEN1 EP-OUJ DANGEROUi ONL %tS FOLIC A SIGN WARNS students that a construc- tion area is off-limits.
