Missing The Space Shuttle Columbia The science department tries to give its students firsthand experience as much as possible. This includes working experiments in chemistry and dissecting fetal pigs and white rats in biology. In fact, the science department gave approxi- mately 10 students the opportunity to see the launch of the Space Shuttle Colum- bia. Unfortunately, the Florida-bound Lancers missed the launch when it was postponed. Filling vacancies occupied the math department through most of the spring. Mrs. Yates, Mr. Hodnett, and Mrs. Par- sons all left for other occupations. De- spite the losses, it did manage to sponsor the math contest which was won by Mi- chael Pemberton. Pretending to be a mad scientist, Junior Glenn Sides mixes a chemical solution as Robert Turner explains what to do next. Help me!

Career Day, A Big Success The guidance department, along with the Future Homemakers of America and the Future Business Leaders, sponsored a first at Manchester. A career day was held Friday, March 20, 1981 during the first three periods. After being polled for vocational interests, students were as- signed four lectures on different careers. Following a breakfast in the library for the speakers, student aids, and teachers; the freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors heard representatives from such occupations as photography, law, ac- counting, and computer programming. The visitors told the students what was required for their particular occupations, what kind of education they needed, and what salary range was to be expected. The discussions also included the advan- tages and disadvantages of the job and descriptions of a typical day at work. Us- ing displays, handouts, and short films, the speakers gave the students realistic views of the ‘“‘real’’ world. All dressed up and nowhere to go. Student aids Beth Robertson and Brian Boldt wait for their speak- ers to arrive. Playing the role of host, Mr. Thomas socializes with the speakers. A warm embrace. Senior Chuck Shelton congratu- lates Vanita Cox for having shown her speaker out the building. 12 Career Day
