On April 29, MHS participated in Spirit Day competi- tions to bring the year's spirit race to an end. Thanks to the organization of the Student Council and spirit chairman Mike Miller the day ran smoothly. The fresh- man were victorious over the seniors in a grueling tug- of-war match. Amy Dockter avenged last year's loss in the limbo by setting an unofficial record in the event. Curt Beery and Paul Besel started an innovative new tricycle-riding method. And Bridget Davis, whoever told you that you could walk on stilts? Other events included the car push, wheelbarrow race, sack race, two-liter water race, and the obstacle course. Ironical- ly, the final standings were the same as last year: sen- iors, first; winning a trip to Great America, followed by the freshman, sophomores and the juniors, last as al- ways. spirit i III i if

This year's spring musical brought Charles Schult's beloved Peanuts gang to our stage in the play Snoopy. Snoopy was a light comedy in which the Peanuts gang told their stories of the funny incidents that have happened to them. Snoopy (Doug McKee) sung about his love for supper time and Charlie Brown (Mark Wood) told of his troubles as he worried about talking to the little red headed girl (Amy Dockter). These were only a few of the humerous tales that the gang revealed to us during the course of the performance. This year's cast included a majority of freshman who showed us some potential for future plays. The students were directed by Carol and Sam Davis. SIPPING

The Manchester High School Class of 1986 graduated on May 22, 1986, but it was almost invalid. Everything was fine as the seniors marched to their chairs keeping to the beat of the infamous “Pomp and Circumstance. Scott Meyer, Class President and all-around nice guy, gave the welcome, after which the choir sang a lovely graduation type song. Speeches by Valedictorian Dan Bolinger and Salutatorian Scott Meyer were humorous while at the same time meaningful and best of all, short. The various faculty members, such as the good Doctors, Day and Eckert, spoke on the first day of our new lives and knowing something good about the graduates. All was going as planned. The graduates-to-be marched across the stage and picked up their diplomas then formed the usual circle around the gym. John Whitcraft played Don't You Forget about Me on the piano as the seniors sang with their now lit candles illuminating the gym. Krishna ©IPADUATICN 20
