set’s Dance. Nancy Ames, Dean Johnson, Chris ratcher, and Barbara Dalmer enjoy dancing to “All light Long”’ at the Homecoming Dance. Making Memories Dancing to the sounds of Fullhouse, stu- dents began to see why the Homecoming Dance was a success. The theme was ‘Memories’, and it paid tribute to the twenty years that the Manchester building has been where it now dwells. And the nemories were great. Everyone enjoyed the music and had a great time. Sopho- more Kristin Benson even joined the band in a song and helped to make a magical evening for all. The Homecoming game was not as magi- cal but equally as exciting for the Lancers. L.C. Bird was the Homecoming rival, and the Skyhawks gave the Lancers a tough game. The Skyhawks scored in the first and second quarters, making the score O- 18. Still in the second quarter, the Lancers pushed hard for a first-half score. William Smith ran for six yards to make the score 7- 18 at halftime. During the second half the Lancers may have lacked a few points, but they did not lack determination. Special efforts by Glen Collins and Russell McKinnon looked hopeful; however, Bird defeated Manchester 7-31. Everyone was disap- pointed, especially senior players, who had played their last Homecoming. But the Lancers did not let one loss get them down for long. They bounced back to prepare for another game. Caged up, Chad Smith poses as a Skyhawk on the French Club float. Dancing with her date Troy Foote, Tracie Fischer is treated like a queen by spectators. Homecoming 11]

“Let's try that again.” Senior Powderpuff coach Glen Collins tells practicing girls Laura Musselman, ynn Tilghman, Kelly Brisby, and Treva Martin what o do. hake that thing Lancerettes John Donnelly, Wade rane, Rich Chalkley, David Poole, Mike Medlin, Mel Alexander, Scott Austin, and Eric Robertson synchronize their steps. Trying Hard The Powderpuff Game turned out to be a disappointment for many. As usual, the word got out that the Seniors were ‘“‘out for blood”, and, as usual, the juniors got scared. This year, though, the administra- tion decided that things had gone too far. With Seniors asking how the game could be played without the rivalry, Mr. Jones gave a warning to play fairly. On the night of the game, Senior spirit was at it’s peak as Seniors surrounded the Juniors exercising on the field. As the game started, the Seniors began to won- der why the warning against roughness was given to them. ‘‘Wait a minute”, re- marked Senior Paige Ganzert, ‘I thought we were the ones out for blood, what happened?” That was the sentiment felt throughout the game by many seniors. Everyone played as best as they could, and outstanding performances came from Seniors Kelly Brisby, Annette Eas- terling, and Treva Martin. Juniors Marci DiRenzo and Anne Ripley each had two touchdowns a piece to help bring about the defeat of the Seniors. The Seniors did not win, but they had the Senior attitude, and that was not to let anything get them down. To Seniors, to be the class of 1984 said it all.
