A Year Faced With Change The year began like any other year, yet Manchester was faced with a year of reform and change. A new administra- tion began with an extensive program geared towards school improvement. Homerooms were rearranged and re- sulted in the loss of the Senior Building. The controversy ceased when seniors were granted extensive Senior privi- leges. The school took on an entirely new look and for the first time, the ad- ministrators took a sincere interest in the welfare of the student body. The summer heat quickly left our minds with the arrival of fall. The Girls’ Basketball Team had a 25 game winning streak and went all the way to Regionals. Indeed, Girls’ Basketball proved to be the most successful sport of the year. Football season arrived, and as tradition dic- tates, the senior girls emerged victori- ous over the juniors 40 to 26 in Powder- puff. On October 9, 1981, the Junior Class got its revenge by placing first in the Homecoming float contest. Sue Da- vis was crowned Homecoming Queen, following in the footsteps of her sister only the year before. The Lancers were defeated by Matoaca. In December, drink machines and a juke box were added to the cafeteria to raise money for the school. The SCA not only be- came a representative body for the stu- dents, but it also became an organiza- tion geared towards school improve- ment and responsibility. A return to Yorktown. On October 19, 1981, Manches- ter students participated in a reenactment of the surren- der of Cornwallis. Not your typical blind date. Tina Bowling demon- strates her spirit during the Halloween pep rally. Queens run in the family. Sue Davis, like her sister only a year before, is crowned the 1981 Homecoming Queen. Thank you for not smoking me. Lynn Linsey wears the familiar cigarette pack on Halloween Dress-Up Day. 2 Opening
