Aspects Of A Lancer's Life Are Manyg Some Old, Some New Freshmen Carol Underwood and Melba Walton seem to be captivated by Manchester as Debbie Detweiler explains the pros and cons of Lancer Life on Student Orientation Day. lt's a big moment in the life of a junior: Mrs. Edward T. Jones assists Melissa Little and Gail Jennings as they order their class rings. As an introduction to the regular school year, Student Orientation Day was held August 29, l967. This program acquainted freshmen and transfer students with the rules, regulations, and opportunities of Lancer Life. After meeting the faculty leaders, the students were in- troduced to their SCA officers. Next. the functions of the Honor Code and the Honor Council were explained. To promote school spirit. the varsity cheerleaders taught the group several MHS cheers. Guided tours of the school concluded the program. In spite of the success of Orientation Day, mass confu- sion existed on the opening day of school. Old acquaint- ances were renewed and new ones made. The school was now officially in session: thus, the Lancer Life began an- other year. Anticipating the prompt arrival of yearbooks, the ,Manoir staff arranged a Yearbook Signing Party . The unique- ness of this party was that a band. the Shades. played and that it was held before the alumni left for college. This enabled the students to both dance and sign Memoirs. 11

Powder-Puff Game ,Mom Senior coach Ken Catlett assists team member Betty Beamon with a bit of advice on tactics to use. Kslam Junior class Lancerettes Jimmy Hayes, Doug Miller, Tyler Lee, Cal- vin Belcher, Mack Woodcock, and Greg Hicks display a tremendous amount of skill during one of their routines. X if .seam am mm Ama Q- Senior Danny Holt, escorted by June Laine, expresses a sigh of relief as he is crowned Powder-Puff King by Senior Class Sponsor Mrs. Evamon Green. On September 30 a whistle blew. This whistle preceded the kickoff of the l967 Powder-Puff Game. The senior girls once again donned football helmets and jerseys, while the juniors tried their jerseys on for size. Anxiety crept into the hearts of the girls as they exer- cised diligently to get in shape for the big game. Practice was the key word for this event. While the girls were learning big plays like the quarterback sweep and the right roll, the boys learned cheers and maiorette routines. Rivalry between all of the classes mounted to its peak at the pep rally. Songs were sung, mascots and sweet- hearts were announced, and the teams were officially pre- sented to their fans. During halftime the royalty activities occurred. The awaited moment was the announcement of Danny Holt as the I967 Powder-Puff King. At the conclusion of the game, the girls were tied with a score of 27-27. Exhausted and weary, they headed to the locker rooms to dress for the Powder-Puff Dance where the Deadbeats played. At the dance following the game, Betty Beamon, Nancy Crooks, Margaret Garber, Pat Hamilton, Geraldine Duty, and Norma Ragland were named as the most valuable players of the game. This announcement concluded the evening's festivities. 13
