THE FIFTIES PEP Rally added some excite- ment to the school day. The local hoods stand on the sidelines looking for trouble. AT THE FIFTIES dance, MHS girls turned to swirling skirts and Bobby socks to fit the mood. DIFFERENT DANCES, LIKE different clothes were all to be seen at the Fifties Dance, as all joined in the fun and a brief look into the past. In January, the $.C.A. sponsored the 50’s dance. The guys got out their Vitalis and slicked back their hair, while some of the girls got out their mother’s old poodle skirts and wore bobby socks and saddle oxfords. Paula Love and Hal Kelly were chosen as the best dressed. There was a juke box at the dance to make it seem like a typical 50’s hop. A disc jockey was on hand to play hits from the 50’s and 60’s. Several people got together and danced the bunny hop, along with some other dances that were popular during the 50’s. Ankie Chancey and Timmy White were chosen as best dancers. Everyone seemed to enjoy reliving the 50’s. 14 50’s Day Bonfire And Clash Day eek “ss PSP MOMCCOMNNE sanwenrsnembens chan “Spirit Week” ne AE OIE. a ae, UP Day, and so every type of cap i ene “Spirit Week.” ae CLOSETS WERE SEARCHED in Pp ef ‘ or hat was visible on the n THE DUTIES OF a Varsity Cheerleader are many as shown by Pat Graham in pre- paring the “spirit Dummy.” The events that filled the days of the week before Homecoming were meant to get everyone ready for the game between Manchester and Midlothian. Traditionally, there was “Dirt-Farmer Day”, and Lancers dressed up as “hicks” from Midlo- thian. Another day students wore clothes that clashed to symbolize the clash between the two schools. A new day was even added this year. “Top the Trojans” could have been the slogan for “Hat Day”. Every- thing from Nazi helmets to Mexican sombreros were seen atop heads that day. After the Bon Fire on Thursday night, spirits were roaring to go!

The Lancers battled hard for a home- coming victory against one of the strongest teams in the district. The team and the coaches put forth a good effort, but the Trojans de- feated us with a score of 35-11. Before the game the band and the club floats paraded around the track. During half-time the winners of the float competition were an- nounced. The band performed a good half-time show, while the Homecoming Court was formed. Sonia Collier was crowned as the 1976-77 Homecoming Queen. The Homecoming Dance took place the next night. Everyone enjoyed dancing to the music of the band “Candlelight.” The cafe- teria was decorated in stars, which fit well with the theme of the dance, “Dancing in the Moonlight.” PROVIDING MUSIC FOR the dance was the band, “Candlelight” performing many popular tunes including “Midnight Blue.” AS OTHERS LOOK on, Junior Homecoming Prin- cess Charlotte Horsley and her date dance to the figure theme of ‘Feelings.’ CANDLELIGHT PROVIDES THE music, as Zoe Corletto and her date move to the beat. Homecoming 17 A Sign Of The Times Women’s Movement And Political Corruption Highlight “Bedfellows” 7 Aue : + th a, A CONFRONTATION BETWEEN Tilly Sparker and some of the more “‘respectable”’ ladies proves comical as they discuss the town’s future. The Tryptich Players’ first pro- duction was “Strange Bedfellows.” The play was a comedy dealing with a young woman who was an active supporter of women’s rights at the turn of the century. Kelly Shea made her debut portraying Clorisa, the female activist, who married into a prominent and very conser- vative family. The conflicts Clorisa caused in the Cromwell family were the heart of the’ comedy. Students worked hard in order to make the play a success. Lee Smilek designed the sets for “Strange Bedfellows” and every- one helped in the building and painting. Mark Pennington handled the lights. Everyone’s efforts were thrown together to make the play fun and exciting. SENATOR MATTHEW CROMWELL finds a great deal of controversy in introducing to his family, his new bride Claressa Blynn Cromwell, a well-known leader in the women’s movement. 18 Play CLOVERLEAF MALL HAS a versitile reputation for MHS students.

Opportunities of work were avail- able in any of the local stores and offices. For leisure time, the malls, parks, movies, and many night spots were popular and visited often by MHS students. Community 19 These are just a few of the many Beauties that at one time cheered MHS spirit on to victory. Congratulated by Coach P:K7Pér or of being installed as the Butch Nunnally Installed In The Manchester Hall Of Fame Butch Nunally, an alumni of MHS who grad- uated in 1959, was installed in the Manchester Hall of Fame during half time of the faculty game. He was the eighth to be installed. Partici- pating in all four sports; football, track, basket- ball, baseball, during his senior year; he played every minute of each game except one play. He held shotput records, played on two champion baseball teams and held all punting records. In football, he was all state, Southern, and All American honorable mention. The battle was on, as the alumni of the 70’s struggled with the alumni of the 50’s and 60's to obtain a victory. 20 Alumni Basketball Game A PLAY OF many questions and answers, in ‘The GREAT Nebula in Orion’, Susan Shumaker wonders over the problems of life. LOUISE, AS PLAYED by Erica Pash, ponders over memories of times past in ‘The Great Nebula in Orion.’ a Path And Shumaker Debut In Starring Roles In the spring, Manchester’s Tryptich Players tried something new and different for the student body. Four one-acts were performed instead of one major play. The plays, “Opening Night,” “The Flattering Word,” “The Great Nebulai in Orion’ and “Triffles’ were done in repetoire—the de- partment gave two each night, alternating plays each evening. The stage was arranged different than usual for these performances. The drama department experimented with “thrust production’ —the audience sat in a semi- circle around the stage—a “theatre in the round.” In this way, the audience fel t a part of the play and was able to become involved in the emotions of the actors. The purpose of the plays was to introduce the students to American drama, each of the plays being written by an American author. STARS OF ‘THE Flattering Word,’ Kelly Shea and Lee Smilek perfom to perfection after many long hours of practice.

The annual Sadie Hawkins dance was held in February. Memior sponsored the dance, and put a lot of work into it. The cafeteria was decorated with outhouses on the wall, along with an old log cabin complete with rocking chairs on the front porch. Everyone arrived dressed in country styles: hitched up overalls and ragged skirts. Daisy Mae and Little Abner were chosen, and Ginger Argenbright and Billy Allsbrook took their “thrones”in front of their “Home, Sweet Home”. The band, “White Horse,” played top 40 hits, as well as a couple of good ole blue- grass tunes. Everybody had a fine time at the hoe-down.

BARNABY CONTEMPLATES HIS adventure to the city and tries to decide if his experiences are living up to his expectations. 24 Spring Production BARNABY COMES OUT of his hiding place momentarily to discuss the situation with his fellow cohart, Cornelius. This year the Triptych Players pre- sented “The Matchmaker” as their Spring Production. Lee Smilek de- signed the set for the play. Christy Irving played the role of the match- maker, who was trying to fix up Jeff Prim, who played the part of a store- owner, with Susan Shumaker. All the while, the matchmaker really liked Jeff, and they ended up getting married. Chris Minnigh played the part of a clerk and ended up marrying Susan Shumaker. Janet Porter played Jeff's daughter, and married Lee Smilek, who played the role of an artist. The running crew was a huge help, as they changed sets, adjusted lights and helped with the costumes.

IN THE RESTUARANT scene, Mrs. Mallory, as played by Susan Schumaker, despairs as her “evening on the town” appears to be going down the drain. Spring Production 25 PROVIDING ENTERTAINMENT FOR the evening was Keith McPeters, singing music that had a special message to Seniors as they realized Graduation was less than a month away. WHITE DRESSES AND suits were acommon sight for the special occasion of the Senior Banquet, the first of many events honor- ing Seniors. The Senior Banquet took place at Vale’s Steak House near the end of May. It was the first of the special senior events that would lead up to Gradua- tion in June. There were not many who missed the dinner. The evening began with the meal. After- v.ards, while everyone was finishing his dessert, Keith McPeters entertained with his voice and his guitar. Lanny Ann LaTora announced the Senior Superlatives. Mike Foley read the Last Will and Testament. With generally sound minds and bodies, Se Nn ] O r B a Nd U ef members of the Class of 77 deposited glad-to-be- rid-of items to various persons and left good times P m8 d B h and memories to others.

ONE OF THE DUTIES of the Junior Marshalls © at the Banquet was to greet Seniors and take up tickets at the door, as shown here by Kelly Shea, David Crank and Scott Comes. VOTED “CUTEST COUPLE” of the Senior Class, Joey Moore and Carol Randall pause in a moment of thought at the close of the banquet. Juniors Work Hard So Seniors Can “Hold On To Yesterday” The Juniors made plans for the Prom months in advance. The court yard needed to be ra cleaned up, themes needed to j be decided on, and a band ¥. had to be chosen. A group of Juniors put in many long hours of work after school, during weekends, and Spring Vaca- tion to design, paint and build for the Prom. The Roarin’ Twenties was chosen as the decoration theme. The cafeteria was decorated with an old man- sion, blue skies and a golf course. One wall was designed to look like Lowe’s theatre and streamers decorated the ceiling. A gazebo was placed in the courtyard. Everyone’s hard work seemed to pay off when we enjoyed a memor- able evening. Decorating for the prom required work for Juniors both inside and out, as Dereck Rossi and Anne Louise Hyatt paint the Gazebo. Pausing a moment from her work, Kate Dunham shows that being a Junior can sometimes be a bit dangerous as she decorates from the heights of the cafeteria. Prom Decorating 27 Smiling happily are Karen Hutcherson and Hal Kelly after they were announced as 1977 prom king and queen. The Juniors worked hard this year to create an atmosphere that the Seniors would long remember. Figure practices proved worthwhile, and helped make the evening memorable as Seniors realized their high school years were coming to an end. Karen Hutcherson and Hal Kelly were chosen as prom king and queen and reigned proudly over the prom. The band, “Just Us”, provided some great entertainment for everyone. The theme song of the Prom was “Hold- ing on to Yesterday’. The night was one everyone would long remember as a special part of their high school years. Juniors, Teresa Freeman and her date Chris Chalkley take a break from the dance floor to enjoy refreshments. 28 Prom : ee Riss jee) ee oH ” ey The Junior Class deserves much recognition with: their great-choice of the band “Just Us‘ whic nh provided some great sounds. : : — Se Juniors Keep Secret—Prom Surprise For Seniors Finally after many long hours at work, Juniors Vince Redden and Gwen Mc- Michen see that it was all worthwhile as they enjoy the prom.

The Senior Mascots began the program with a unique rendition of “School Days’. Though everyone laughed and smiled with the four year olds, thoughts like “it hasn’t been so long since | was four” drifted through many minds. After the song, the Senior poem was read by the Class Poet, Sarah Wood, and then following this, Cheryl Morrison gave the Class of 77’s four-year story. The program finished, Mr. Thomas pre- sented awards and honors to deserving seniors. When the assembly was over, Seniors lined up in their caps and gowns for graduation pictures. For the majority of students it was a sad day, for most it was the last day of school—from then on high school was merely a memory. ALONG WITH THE traditional Senior Assembly, the graduating class also has their picture taken in caps and Seniors arrived early for the evening Baccaulaureate services. An hour before the services blue and white robes and caps filled the parking lot at Reveille Baptist Church. Many parents were al- ready waiting anxiously in the pews for the moment when their son or daughter would proceed down the aisle of the sanctuary. The Senior class officers led the pro- cessional into the church, followed by the Madrigal singers and the senior class. The madrigal singers sang two selections during the evening. Dennis Maxwell gave the invocation and benediction. Steve St. Cyr, president of the Senior class, and Sara Wood wait for the ceremony to begin. Seniors Inspired By Commencement Services Getting ready to enter the church, Mike Foley and Hal Kelly take time to discuss matters. Mr. Broadus stands outside the church talking to some of the parents of graduating Seniors. 31 Class Of AO ia The final event—Graduation. Seniors met at school in the Lancer stadium Friday morning before Graduation to prepare for that event. Waiting on the field for instruction, thoughts were sud- denly of past homecomings, Powderpuff and that first Lancer football game. Each person held different feelings that night, some of anxiety, some of hope—many felt nostalgic and others were thinking only of the future. But whatever the emotions, each one, as he stepped upon the platform and re- ceived his diploma from Mr. Thomas, had a feeling of victory. The ceremony is over, diplomas in hand, seniors were ready to celebrate. High school already appeared as an event of the past—only a memory of a time gone by.

Inspite of all the hard work Seniors put in to in- sure grades for college, or maybe even just for graduation, everybody found the time to have some fun. Lunch time and activities period allowed for most of the free time for goofing off; but classes were not all run by strict schoolmasters with a whip in each hand. A heartily welcomed break came shortly after Christmas. The snow, that usually never appeared at all, seemed to by trying to make up for all the times it had passed us by before. It lasted almost for a week. Spring fever arrived at Manchester before spring itself. Seniors were ready for Sunday afternoons in the park, and homework became impossible to even attempt. School was work, of course, and four different papers were always due on the same day that six tests were scheduled—but there were always Good Times. FINDING A NEW method of transportation, Junior Billy Allsbrook, with the help of his friends, solves the parking lot problem. 34 Good Times “TO EACH HIS OWN is the saying —as this unidentified MHS student relaxes in his own way, indifferent to his surroundings. “WHAT ARE FRIENDS FOR?” Doug Burnett THE WINTER OF '76-’77 proved to bea cold one, providing many snow- seems to say as Beth DeBoer prepares to plant falls and the opportunities of winter sports.

Surprises always seem to amaze Lancers, and any- thing was to be expected. Lancers were seen in many places around school and at all times. Activities period provided a break in the day, when Lancers could compete in intramurals, or just get together with their friends. Frisbee was popular with many, especially during warmer days, when Sen- iors could go outside. Powderpuff raised class spirit to a maximum, as junior and senior girls competed against each other in flag football. No matter how busy they were, Lanc- ers always seemed to have time for fun and games. ae sino ait NOTICE THE STYLE Vince Redden shows in his attempt to shoot the ball into the basket during a pick-up game at Activities period. 36 Games People Play LMA LBM Spi JUNIOR KEVIN SUTTON shows what practice can do as he displays his style and grace in throwing a frisbee.

ENIOR — 40 Senior Class Back To School Not All Fun For Seniors Teresa Allman Janice Ammons Jan Applegate David Atkins Barbara Baltz The beginning of school held a lot of meaning for seniors, simply because it was to be their last year at Manchester. It was not strange coming back after a short, but every-moment-filled summer—it was al- most like coming back to a second home. (though some perhaps returned home a little reluctantly!) It was a new year to ex- plore, yet with teachers that had become old friends, and with other friendships that had grown close over the past three years. There were new subjects to be struggled through: Government, and all of Jimmy Carter’s cabinet members to be memorized; English—Beowulf and MacBeth. For some Seniors the school day was shortened; so that there would be time for that all-important, money-earning job. Though in September the year ahead appeared long; filled with the events lead- ing up to graduation, it would pass quickly.

The senior class elected Sheryl Gregory and Karen Hutcherson to represent them. The stands were crowded with the parents of the girls, and students who had come to cheer their friends. The podium was decorated with the bicentennial colors, and the platform was draped with gar- lands of red, white and blue. Ap- plause broke out as the twelve senior girls entered the grandstand. Nervous excitement was apparent on the face of each contestant as she was introduced and asked about her hobbies. After intermission, during which a band entertained the audience, the contestants reap- peared; this time in long dresses. Each girl clutched a rose tightly in her hand and nervously awaited her turn to cross the stage and answer her question. There was the usual wait before the announcement of the winner. Hopeful apprehension was felt throughout the stand. Sheryl Gregory won second runner- up, but the fun and excitement was enough of a success for everyone. or AWARDING SHERYL GREGORY her check for being runner-up in the County Fair Beauty Pageant is Mr. Holland. a Patty Benesh Gus Betzares Sandy Boettger Cathy Benson Ginny Bidwell Larry Boldt SMILING DURING COMPETITION at the Jill Borchardt Chesterfield County Fair is Karen Hutcherson. 42 Senior Class Teresa Bowles Nancy Brooks Dan Bramblett Tom Brown Keri Bristol Allen Bucknam PATRICIA JEAN BENESH Transfer—10; Powderpuff Team—12.

Susan Cary Susan Case Ankie Chancey Shelton Cherry DESPITE TWO WEEKS delay, senior spirit was still high as the seniors rolled over the juniors, 26-8. Powderpuff football and the “assured” victory of the seniors came with the beginning of school. Training began early in September. Chris Grey, whom the senior girls had elected as their head coach, could be heard along with his assistants shouting orders of “25 more sit-ups’ and “pick those legs up and run!” every day after school. Girls were seen limping to classes, each painful step an incentive to make sure that October Saturday would be the day when juniors died. Enthusiasm was boosted high, with spirit trains in the halls the Friday before the game, only to be brought down again. It seemed that the rain which postponed the Powderpuff game, caused muddy practices and dampened spirits would never end. But after two weeks of clouds, the game was played. The disappointment of repeated postponement served only to make the girls work harder to win. Victory was awarded to the seniors for all their afternoons lost in practice. The halftime celebration was the crowning of Hal Kelly as Pow- derpuff king, and the parties afterward made Powderpuff a night of frolic for everyone. DOWN SE eres il ip eeens HUT... .

Carolyn Dietrich Skip Dietrich Ed Dixon Ramona Dodson Sherri Dove MHS Traditions Never Die Homecoming was especially important to seniors. It was their last one at Manchester. Most Seniors joined in on the fun of Homecoming week. The football team played Midlothian, the arch enemy of Man- chester. So on Dirt Farmer Day, everyone came clothed in ragged flannel shirts and work worn over-alls—chewing straw and tipping battered ; GANS hats. The Friday game gave seniors one last chance to dump the Midlo Hicks. A bonfire, Thursday night before the game, had spirits burning high. Though the game was lost, the night was still a success for the seniors. After three years of losing floats, their Homcoming float placed second. Sonia Collier was chosen Homecoming Queen and surrounded by her court, she circled the field during half-time. The thrill felt by those girls filled everyone the next night at the dance. 48 , 4 eeeg = =e, AS AS HER FATHER looks on, Sonia Collier is officially crowned Homecoming Queen by Lanny, Ann Latora.

The Annual Halloween Carnival is spon- sored by Memoir each year. The senior yearbook staff worked hard in preparing for the carnival. It was planned by them weeks in advance. Memoir made special preparations in settng up for the carnival the morning before. Many seniors manned some of the booths to raise money for their clubs.

They were involved in everything, trying to make the most of a last year in high school. Students became involved with the Presidential race in the fall and staged a Mock Election to predict the next President. Looking ahead to college, many students prepared themselves by taking advanced courses —the Advanced Biology class was able to dissect Fetal Pigs. Other students were active in sports; if not actually y on the team, they gave their support as team managers. Some Seniors offered their services to the administration and served as Office Aids, but whatever the interest, all were involved. ¢ A a — fy shee. bagi - ey - .

It was hard to believe that in only a few months they would actually be wearing the caps and gowns they were now being sized for. But many seniors were longing for graduation. As they were ready for college, jobs or simply the chance of finally starting their own life. Beach trips after graduation were already being looked forward to. In addition to having heads measured for caps, seniors ordered the rest of the items needed for graduation.

JEAN MARIE KUREK Fxemption Means Free Time For Seniors Ie EMPTY SENIOR HOMEROOMS were acommon sight during exams as seniors took advantage of their exemptions. BELOW: APPARENTLY EXHAUSTED after a strenuous government exam, Lanny, Ann Latora, catches up on some lost sleep. One of the great things about being a Senior was having the chance of exam exemption. Any Senior who held an average of an ‘A’ or ‘B’ was exempt from the exam of that particular class. Of course most Seniors relished the idea of a whole week off from school, while underclassmen struggled through class reviews and crammed the last minutes before beginning the battle. Students worked hard to pull up that 86 average just a couple of points, hopefully by studying a little more. The Seniors who were smart (or just lucky) spent their free days on the ski slopes, or at home resting up from the past hectic weeks. Whatever was done during the week, it was enjoyed. 56 Senior Class Fritz Langschultz Ann Latora Lynn Lawrence Tammy Lehner Kari Lewis Carolyn Lilley DURING EXAMS SENIORS enjoyed the privilege of being exempt.

N P | ix The privileges began with the start of the Cw IVI € (S last nine weeks of school. The Senior building was labeled off limits to all underclassmen during activities period (who entered the area MichellecMancini MichielMann there hee under risk of their lives) . During the half-hour break, Seniors tanned in the sun or engaged in wild games of football or frisbee. The snack machine and, especially, the drink machine were kept constantly busy after each was installed for “Seniors Only”. The Class of ’77 came up with a new idea this year for a privilege. The privilege, which was a three-minute early dismissal from sixth period, was put on a one-week trial basis. Sen- iors passed the test and added one more to the treasured list of “Senior Privileges”.

From Freshmen To Seniors; Class Spirit And Unity The closeness of the class grew stronger during the last year at Manches- ter. Knowing well that after June friends would be scattered, everyone reached out farther. From the beginning in September, starting with the Powderpuff, to the ending of the school year and graduation, the events brought them to- gether. Each month that went by reminded Seniors of the services in June. It was perhaps these thoughts that made them cheer harder at the pep rallies, the games and the track meets. Seniors helped each other along, working to patch up friendships, stumbling through physics or math courses together and craming for government tests. Not only during sports or pep rallies, Senior Unity was something which lasted throughout the year in everything. AT MANY PEP rallies senior spirit culminates in a pyramid.

Dismissals For Seniors Debbie Peebles Pt Pestn 1 SUR eeroehemaentinminvanuodet te coenatnoniasinas, MANY SENIORS, SUCH as David Atkins, are dismissed early in order to work at various jobs. Jobs Lead To Early The new year brought new opportunities for seniors, and many of them took advantage of the choice to leave school early. Students were allowed to take any number of classes they wished, but the only restriction was that they must take English 12 and U.S. Government which were courses required for graduation. Seniors left school from second period on. Usually these students held part-time, or in some cases full-time jobs. From department stores to business firms, they managed to find some sort of employment. The money earned from these jobs went to satisfy car payments and lay-away bills, to buy the latest albums or paperba ck books or simply to pay for an evening out. Working gave seniors experience in the world which lay ahead. ATTENDING ONE OF her many customers is senior Jill Borchardt, who works at Best Products.

The song “Holding On To Yesterday”, brought mixed emo- tions to Seniors who realized that THE BAND “JUST US” provided good dancing this would be their last prom, and that their high school years were music for Gregg Garbor and Dawn Wagner. coming to an end.

They left school by chartered bus. When they arrived in Washington, they visited several places such as the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial, and the Kennedy Cen- ter. After the seniors visited these and other places as a group, they were dropped off at the Washing- ton Monument to go where they pleased. The most common sights of inter- est were the White House, the Cap- itol, the Smithsonian Institution, and McDonald’s. Others ventured to lesser-known sights like the Na- tional Archives, Congressional of- fices, and the FBI. Even though the Seniors returned home blistered and sore, the trip was a most enjoyable one and will be remembered as one of the en- joyable senior traditions.

Baccalaureate Services Are An Inspiration | Friendships grew closer as the last days drew near—last days, a whole era of our lives had slipped by so quickly. But the memories re- mained. Graduation appeared a more definite turn in life, when we realized that when sum- mer ended, days at the beach over, we would not return to Manchester for another year. The closing events began with Senior Day, and rapidly tumbled one after another. On this day, scholarships and awards were pre- sented to Seniors who earned the honors. The following Sunday evening, the Bacca- laureate Service was held at Reveille Meth- odist Church. Each day drew us nearer to Graduation. We received our diplomas, the symbol of twelve years spent learning and reaching for know- ledge and experiences; we were ready for the world. Preparing for the Baccalaureate Services turns out to be an interesting task for Ronald Crouch, Jay Payne, Russ Barwick and Eddie Cross. SCA President, Vicky Garnett, looks ahead to graduation.

Many students did quite a bit of traveling during the summer. Some traveled out of state or out of the country, and many stayed at home and spent time at the pool; playing tennis or working. Other students were at school practicing and preparing for the upcoming athletic events. Curiosity about new classes and new teachers were the feelings of many. Others looked forward to meeting new friends. But all of this excitement would soon turn into a usual routi ne for many. For the juniors, the coming year would be full of new experiences. They would be participating in powder- puff for the first time, which would take much effort from all. Other juniors looked forward to planning for the prom and getting their rings.

The Ring Committee had chosen Herff Jones as the company from which the students would order their rings. Waiting for the day in early December when the rings were to arrive was hard; and when the date was postponed because of snow, long faces were seen on many Juniors. Finally, the night arrived and everyone received his ring. Then, following tradition, Juniors began having their rings turned 77 times for good luck. The 78th turn, respresenting the year of graduation, was reserved for someone special and a kiss. 74 Junior Class Conk, Joellyn Cooke, Chuck Couch, Karen Craddock, Rhonda Crank, David Crenshaw, Danny a P : i ie “TURN MY RING” could be heard in the halls when Juniors received their rings.

Practice began, bruises took shape, and limping bodies were seen wandering the halls. Still spirits were up and enthusiasm of anticipated victory kept Juniors hopeful for the night to come. After three weeks of cancellations because of weather, Mother Nature decided to give the Juniors a break, long enough to start the game anyway. The Junior class boys became cheerleaders for a night, and they livened up the evening with their charm and their animated cheers. Their spirit helped the Junior girls to smile through their winces of pain and agony. The evening continued on through mud and rain, and both Junior and Senior girls struggled for touchdowns. Even though the bruises, sore muscles, and aching bones didn’t pay off in a Junior victory; they paid off with a fantanstic evening of fun.

For Juniors it meant voting for two girls, Charlotte Horsley and Susan Austin, to represent their class on the Homecoming Court. Juniors also Participated in the election of the 1976 Homecoming Queen. The Court was introduced at halftime of the game. After many long hours of planning and pre- paration, the Class of ’78 proudly displayed their float in the pre-game parade. The float’s theme was “Tame the Trojans”, and was carried out as a circus cage which held Juniors representing the Trojans. Many Juniors also attended the Homecoming Dance which followed the night after the game. Everyone enjoyed listening to the music of “Candlelight”, and dancing to the theme song ‘Dancing in the Moon light.” The Class of ’78 put a lot of hard work into Homecoming ’76 and the good times were not forgotten.

Manchester was new and strange, yet there were exciting experiences to look forward to. The sophomores became aware of the many opportunities made available to them. The first few days of school were hectic. It was hard to let go of a relaxing summer and settle down for another year of school. Many sophomores could be seen wandering around the halls, especially those of the round building, looking lost and confused. During those first days of their first year of high school, sophomores realized that they must unite to show class spirit. The class of ‘79 showed much enthusiasm at the first pep rally of the year. Sophomore Class 83 Capps, Wanda Carnahan, Charles Carr, Bryan Carter, Wesley Cash, Janet Castle, Deborah Cayton, Ann Charles, Keith Cheatham, Butch Chenery, Donna Christian, Vickie Clark, Phil Clay, Loretta Collier, Mike Condrey, Jim Connell, Donna Cook, Tommy Cooke, Lynn Cottom, Gwyn Cox, Robert Cox, Valerie Sophomores enjoyed the new ex- perience of Homecoming. — They worked hard on planning and con- structing their class float. The class of ’79 proudly displayed the float on Homecoming Night. Some of those who worked on the float rode on it during the Homecoming Parade. Beth Moss and Ann Holmes were chosen as Sophomore princesses. The Homecoming dance was looked forward to by many Sophomores. It took place the night after the Home- coming Game _ against Midlothian. Active sophomores helped prepare for the dance. They signed up for the committees working on the dance to show their class spirit. The Homecoming festivities which were new to most sophomores were enjoyed by those who were involved.

Those partici- pating in fall sports gave up part of their summer vacation to attend team practices. Big efforts and determina- tion proved to be assets to our teams. The J.V. basketball team began prac- tice early in the fall. The competitive J.V. team ended up with a good season under Coach Smith. Some sophomores showed interest in wrestling, and became a valuable part of the team. Track teams interested both girls and boys alike. Many sopho- mores went out for baseball and softball. Some sophomores played on the golf team, for their sec- ond season. Their previous experiences benefitted the overall team scores. Tennis and gymnastics also gained the attention of sophomores. The class of ‘79 held much promise for the future of M.H.S. sports. The Sophomore class showed their school spirit throughout the year, by participating in sports. They showed enthusiasm at Hamilton, Mark Hancock, Cathy Hancock, Sherry Harind, Robin Henderson, Libby Harler, Tina Harlow, Cathy Harris, Brenda Harris, Robert Hayward, Kathy Hellermann, Edwin each pep rally during the year, and supported not only their own teams, but all of Manchester.

The future depended on each plan, hope, dream that passed through our minds. There was sadness on leaving behind the security of childhood and adoles- cence, but the freedom of the years that stretched ahead, empty and waiting to be filled with life gave us the spirit to challenge the unknown with courage and with optimistic expectations.

At Christmas, the club had a caroling party. After singing French carols from house to house, the shivering group hurried to David Crank’s home where hot chocolate and apple cider awaited them. In the spring the club went to the Magic Pan Crepery, and everyone feasted on every kind of mouth-watering crepes ever made. Then April finally came, and the students who were going to France, mae began preparing for the once-in-a- lifetime trip.

Old ideas from past years were thrown away and the staff started out from scratch to make sure that the ’77 Memior would be original. It seemed that deadlines always came two weeks too soon; and the weekend be- fore the Monday mail-off was spent under cropper grease pencils and_ lay-out sheet. Pictures often mys- teriously disappeared, and there were always reprints to be made. But despite all the last minute rush- es, Ms. Trimble managed to send the pages in— though not always on time—and the yearbook came together.

Members of the Communique Staff had an exciting year. The staff got statewide recognition because of the controversy over a sex poll. Monica Halle and Gregg Joy were elected as_ this year’s co-editors. The staff kept busy this year, alloting two pages for each section. The coke machine remained in school to help raise money for the Communique. A new feature was added to the newspaper this year.

Lanny attends all athletic events possible, occasionally makes pep notes, and bakes cakes and cookies for the athletes. Lanny always supports athletic games whether we win or lose. This years Lanny, Ann __Latora, was elected last year by the student body. The office of Lanny gave Ann honary membership in Quill and Scroll and Machelon. The job of Lanny requires a lot of hard work, but as Ann said, “It’s a lot of fun.”’ “ LANNY, ANN LATORA, attempts to boost spirit and give the teams confidence at the pep rally for spring sports.

The Lancerettes began practicing during the summer for the coming school year. They held carwashes to help raise money for the squad. Practices at 7:00 in the morning were tiresome, but proved to be worth- while during performances. The squad performed with the band at football games and competition at University of Richmond Band Day and the Williamsburg Christmas Parade. The Lancerettes helped keep up school spirit during the year and they also performed at each pep rally. ENJOYING THE LANCERETTE’S performance, captain Terri Farley sees much hard work pay off.

Over the summer months majorettes practiced regularly to per- fect their routines for the upcoming school year. Their many hours of practice on long, hot afternoons have proved to be an asset. Their excellent performances have kept the Lancers entertained at both football games and pep rallies. They have done well this year; even though, they were reduced in size to only five. Leading is captain Jackie Dow, co-captain Teresa Vincent, squad members are senior, Patti Unmussig, juniors, Tracy Kemp and Cindy Holland.

Perrin dis- cusses possible improvements for the baseball field. Many new girls became Backstoppers _ this year. Backstoppers sold key chains, baked goods and other things to raise money for the base- ball team. The Backstoppers assisted in plan- ning a Lancer Social at Bixby’s. They also served food and drinks there. The Backstoppers prepared the baseball field for the upcoming games, and helped with the upkeep throughout the entire season. The enthusiasm put forth by the back- stoppers boosted Lancer Spirit at both home and away games.

Besides cheering the wrestling team on this season, the wrestlerettes were instrumental and_ invaluable in assuring the smooth and orderly progress of an otherwise confusing sports event—a_ wrestling meet. Among their duties were: helping to unroll, clean, and tape the mats for a meet; setting up bleachers for the fans and chairs for both teams; keeping the overall score for the fans, and seeing that the visiting team enjoyed all the benefits of Manchester hospitality. Returning wrestlerettes will continue to support the hard working wrestling team at both home and away matches during next year’s season. The wrestling team was fortunate to have a group of girls who were willing to dedicate themselves to see that the wrestlers were well taken care of, and that the match went smoothly. Wrestlerettes 131 Varsity Monogram Club Makes Many Improvements DISCUSSING THE IMPROVEMENTS needed in the pressbox, President Nancy Brooks assigns members chairs to paint. Varsity Monogram is a club made up of students who have lettered in one or more sports. Miss Cole and Mr. Perrin served as sponsors. During the summer, members devoted _ their afternoons to painting the football scoreboard and the chairs in the press box. When football season began, they offered their services in directing traffic. They sold drinks and candy at basketball games, which everybody appreciated. The girls who lettered two times received sweat- suits, while the guys received monogramed jackets. 132 Varsity Monogram aw rit Ps HELPING THE VARSITY Monogram club prepare for the bon fire, varsity cheerleader Pat Graham stuffs the dummy. THE BON FIRE WAS a tremendous success as students came out to lift spirit for the football team. The Lancer Spirit Boost- er’s purpose is to promote school spirit. This task kept them busy during the school year. The Athlete of the Week was sponsored by LSB. The outstanding athlete _for each sport during the week was announced at the pep rally and awarded a certi- ficate for his performance. The LSB also sponsored the Queen’s float for the Homecoming parade. The float was decorated with a shimmering fountain — and yellow chrysanthemums, making it by far the most elegant float there. LSB works hard each year at Manchester and is greatly appreciated. Listening to “Athlete of the Week” nominations, Pat Miller decides who she is going to vote for. LSB Sponsors Athlete Of The Week Vice-President Debbie Davis listens to plans for the Homecoming float. Keeping attendance is a very important part of secretary, Angela Binns’ job.

Work and determination aided many of our athe- letes to reach these goals. Pat Perrin attained his goal of a regional singles title in tennis. Randall Miller also at- tained his goal in capturing a district championship in wrestling.

The Cross Country team, dubbed the “Manchester No Names” by their coach, Mr. Al Weaver, proved their potential during the season. Composed of mainly sophomores and jun- iors the team lacked leadership, however they made up for it in their hard work, determination, and desire to win. After the team’s first taste of victory against Colonial Heights, six other victories ensued to bring their record to 7 and 2. Manchester hosted the Central District Meet this year on September 30. Up against heavy competition, the rookie team achieved a third place standing. Following suit came a fourth place in Regionals and sixteenth in the State. Losing only a few Seniors, the team should be strong for the next few seasons. It looks like the “No Names” have de- finitely made a name for themselves.

Basketball Rose Promoted To Varsity Position This year’s Varsity basketball team had more troubles than an average squad. Halfway through the season, a coaching change took place that gave Mike Rose the head coaching job. Coach Rose automat- ically had a problem, his team was winless. In the Lancer’s biggest victory of the year against Colonial Heights, they completely overpowered the Colonials. Junior Mark Baldwin Netted 18 points and Senior Scott Preskitt scored 10 points. Other bright spots that night, Joe Downes shot 100% from the field and foul line, scoring 12 points. Also, Mark Baldwin pulled down 16 rebounds to help the winning effort.

Dennie had an out- standing season. The Lancer grapplers struggled through a long season this year. The majority of this year’s wres- tlers were first yearmen. Though the overall record was not overwhelm- ing, there were many bright spots. First, the Lancers matmen’s new coach, Rocky Bounds, was impres- sive in teaching techniques and disciplining his per- formers. Second, the young wrestlers gained valu- able experience that will help them next year. Also, senior Dan Bramblett was strong in the unlimited weight class with a record of eight and one. Dan will be going to the state tournament. Finally, fourth year wrestler Randall Miller has compiled a record of seventy wins and only fourteen losses. This year, Miller was district champion with a fifteen and zero record in regular season. He also finished second in the region and then went to state competiton.

But this season the Lancer Trackers took their training seriously. The Lancers o nly goal in winter track is to better themselves since it is a non-lettering sport. And im- prove they did. The Lancers set four school records in the four meet sea- son. Also, three members qualified for the state meet. In a “polar bear” meet, Doug Albach broke the school record in the first heat of the 300 yard run. 150 Indoor Track In the second heat, Lee Blackburn broke Doug’s record, but Doug came back to break the school record in the 600 yard run. Also, Paul Ryder tied the school record in high jump and in doing so qualified for the state meet. Shot-putter Bruce Young and dis- tance man John Gerencser also at- tended the state meet, after placing third in shot and fifth in the 1000 yard run in the Regionals.

Even so, the Lancers still finished with a winning season of 6-4 overall. The young team was lead by captain Joe Downes and senior Bruce Young. Joe (leading scorer 120 pts.) specialized in the three jumping events, while Bruce specialized in the weightman’s events. Other stand outs this season included captains Timmy Melton and Randal Miller. Randal was the ace high jumper (6 1’) and Tim- my was strong in both the high and intermediate hurdles. Juniors Doug Albach, Lee Blackburn, and Bobby Braaten were all strong in their events and will be a help next season. Only eight men on the forty-man team are graduating, so the Lancer trackers should be strong next year.

Jay Edwards was strong behind the plate and strong with the bat. Jay led the team in RBI's this season (14) while Mike Brown had the highest batting average (2525) Next year’s team will be com- posed of almost all of the same players, so it looks like Coach David George has a chance for another District title.

The only standouts on this season’s squad were Junior third baseman pitcher Mark Smith and second baseman Boyd Smith.

Here Wendy Burke and Kelly Nussman perform “Joy,” Jack Thomas Assumes Role Of Principal In February, after going several weeks without a head administrator, Mr. Jack Thomas arrived to take over the empty spot of principal at Manchester. Mr. Thomas came to us from Robius Junior High School where he had served as principal. During his first week at Man- chester, Mr. Thomas was busy orienting himself with our school. He could be seen introducing him- self to students between classes and even brushing up his skills on the field with the baseball players during afternoon practices. Mr. Thomas spoke to the Senior Class in one of its regular meetings, giv- ing the Seniors a better chance to get to know him. “Mr. Thomas is just a super per- P” son. I’m glad that he’ll be the one to hand me my diploma.” Debbie Webb SETTLING INTO HIS desk, Mr. Thomas acquaints himself with new procedures and problems.

Olle It takes a lot of hard work and time to be the principal of Manchester. Mr. Edward T. Jones has been principal of Manchester for many years, but had to resign in the middle of the year to do some health problems. Mr. Jones, along with Mr. Morris and Mr. Holland, were the overseers of everything that went on at Manchester. They handled regular office duties and also extra chores. Mr. Thomas, a former principal from Robious Junior High School, replaced Jones this winter, and became the new principal. MR. ARTHUR S. HOLLAND, Assistant Principal of Instruction. MR. WILLIAM E. MORRIS, Assistant Principal of Administration. THANK YOU! Administration 175 Office Staff Keeps School On Schedule The office and guidance staff at Manchester have endless jobs to keep the school running smoothly. Along with their regular office duties, many other hectic problems come up that the administration handles with ease. The clerical staff members are Mrs. Louise Hamrick, school secretary, Mrs. Francine Daniel, bookkeeper, Mrs. Adele Rudd, teacher aid, and Mrs. Mary Jackson, teacher aid. In the guidance department is Senior coun- selor Mr. Wayne Deane, Junior counselor Mrs. Polly Holland and Sophomore counselor Miss Julianna Duke. Mrs. Holland is the guid- ance Chairman.

Department Offers A Variety Of Classes Manchester had a very active and involved physical education program this year. Among some of the many activities were intramurals among the classes. The classes competed in bowl- ing, tennis, volleyball, and badminton. The advanced physical education classes took quick courses in swimming at the YMCA across the street and bowling at Bowl America on Route 60. During the first semester sophomore students had to take a course in Driver’s Education. The excitement of getting a driver’s license spread rapidly among them. So, as you can see it was an exciting year!

Members of the Math Depart- ment worked hard to _ interest students and enrich mathematical skills. Students at Manchester were able to choose from a wide range of math courses. Many students chose computer math or computer assisted classes to help them in future careers. The Math Department, headed by the chairman, Mr. Ronald Weeks, once again gave the Annual Mathematics High School Examina- tion. This test was sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Some of Man- chester’s students had the highest scores in the area. Monica Halle received the scholarship.

Students, who wished to continue in physics and chem- istry, took Advanced Science taught by Dr. Clark. This year several students were interested in studying biology in more depth, and with the approval of the administration, they created a new course. Mrs. Jefferson volunteered to teach Advanced Biology. “Mrs. Jefferson believes in keeping you busy .. . if you pay attention, you can really learn from her.”’ Jo Guthri« “Dr. Clark reflected on his momen- tous VMI life after his dynamic lectures. The refracted minds of the students found Dr. Clark’s perspectives normal, his lectures—magnitudes of force.” Mike Gillie BENJAMIN DYER; Biology, Earth Science 182 Science = | e ya f , ¢ � ae i ee i b.. a rs =, f SENIORS SARAH WOOD and Kathy Rudolf disect a fetal pig in their Advanced Biology studies.

The elective courses were continued this year, and had more variety than ever. The electives helped ease the boredom, by providing a change for students. The Department gave English grammar tests at the beginning of the year, and at the middle of the second semester the tests were re- issued to test the progress of English Students. Mrs. Donna Crane and Mr. Bill Broaddus helped to keep up interest in English by planning a trip to London. Some teachers chaperoned the trip, which proved to be a valuable and exciting experience.

The clubs worked individually to raise money for their groups. Each spon- sored a booth at the Halloween Carnival. An exchange student was brought in from Argentina this year. Monica Del Castillo stayed in Susan Hamilton’s home during her stay in the United States. The language stu- dents learned a lot from their visitor and were surprised to learn that they spend their weekends just like we do. A Language Ban- quet was held in March. The Band and Chorus entertained during the meal. (ABOVE) JANE BASKERVILLE; French De- partment Chairman, French Club Sponsor, S.C.A.

Trips to England, London and France and Rome provided exciting ex- periences abroad. On the trip to London, chaperoned by Mr. Broaddus and the Cranes, the group visited Windsor, the Tower of London, Pica- dilly circus, Canterbury and Shakespere’s birthplace to see ““MacBeth”. On the tour “A Tale of Two Cities”, Mrs. Baskerville’s group went to France in addition to London. Included in their tour was a ferry trip from Dover to Calais, a night in Tours, sightseeing trips in Paris, and a wine tasting trip to Vouvray. Students going to Rome, chaperoned by Mrs. Brister, enjoyed St. Peter’s, the Coliseum, and many other attractions. Smiling faces reflect a good time. The Chateau of Chambord Ks.

Vicky Garnett and Muffin Williamson were Democratic and Republican party chairmans respectively. In order to vote, students had to register with their history teachers. The student body took advantage of their right to vote in the mock elec- tion with the Republican candidate an easy winner. Gregg Joy was the Democratic speaker for the rally held in the audi- torium. Mike Gillie was the speaker for the Republicans. Mr. Matheny was sponsor for the Democratic party while Mr. Rose was sponsor for the Republican party. MIKE ROSE; United States History, Football, Winter Basketball Coach WILLIAM (P.K.)

TYPING UP LATE book notices is an everyday task for Mrs. Beachum. Mrs. Frymier, the Librarian, succeeded in keeping things quiet in the library most of the time. Some students became library helpers during their study hall. Audio Visual served as an extension to the Manchester library, and some stu- dents used their study hall to be AV workers. Although lack of space and extra facilities were a problem for most MHS students, the library did provide such services as; newspapers, Magazines, books and copying machines. These services aided many students and teach- ers with their classroom studies.

This past year Mrs. Belcher, the special educa- tion teacher, had ten students with whom she worked. Her main aim was to prepare her stu- dents for vocational training. Mrs. Belcher claimed that due to the budget cut, a number of the special programs would have to be cut. This left her thoroughly disap- pointed because extra activities were helpful in teaching. Trips to Williamsburg, Yorktown, and Jamestown had already been planned to be taken during the year. During the first semester, the students went to a bank to see how things actually worked. They found this very interesting and enjoyable.

Many students acquired skills that will later assist them in their careers. Others find in the classes interesting hobbies and pastimes. Many Industrial Art Students displayed their talents and crea- tions in various exhibits. The Musical Department performed at competitions around the state and held concerts.

It may be hard to determine the amount of zeal that most students put into studying, but it can be assured that an application of the mind to books was made. Every sophomore, junior and senior could be seen at least once during the day, and usually more often than that, working on some class assignment—perhaps strug- gling through an unbelievingly dull book or an utterly impossible math problem. But of course, there were the favorite classes, where studying was not work at all, but an earnest attention to the gaining of knowledge. 200 Curriculum ne Monday Is The Time To Catch Up On Sleep Relaxing—that was certainly one thing that could be observed every day. But it was not always easy to steal forty winks nonchalantly. Yet, some- how Lancers managed to sneak naps in class beneath the watchful or ignoring eyes of teachers. A weary head resting on folded arms was not a rare sight, especially on a Monday. Activities period was the favorite time for an “afternoon nap.” But not everyone spent his stolen moments sleeping; some just wanted a little time to unwind from the tension of a hard day—or perhaps to think about things other than school, to take time out for a littl e dreaming. po NADING ANYONE SERE — ag WHO will listen, Keith McPeters plays his mandolyn.

Here, Gayle Eubank laughs hysterically at a friend's joke. 201 Varied Curriculum Serves Student's Needs As the new school year began, students and faculty members found it hard to get back into the routine of school. Many were uncertain, yet anxious about the coming school year. The Lancers strove toward a good year. School spirit was high at the first foot- ball game of the season against Meadowbrook. Sophomores discovered a totally new atmosphere, the Junior Class participated actively all year, and created a successful prom. Seniors enjoyed their special privileges. Although school seemed to drag by at the begin- ning, the last few days seemed to arrive quickly. As the school year came to a close, students looked back on many memories. Good times will be remem- bered fondly, as we go forth into the future. IMPROVING THEIR BAKING skills in home- ec class are Dawn Phil- lips and Lyn Lawerence. CONGRATULATING MR.
