SPIRIT ! PET Ste AR sills Thanks to the persistent cheer- leaders and supportive faculty, this year Manchester was able to hold its first in-school pep rallies in four years. Students were directed from their classes to the gym as the band toured the building. Activities in- cluded pie throwing and wheel bar- row racing.

The pep rallies were not the only opportunities in which Lancers cheered on their teams. Homecom- ing, being on Halloween, had a spe- cial excitement; and the Powder Puff game was filled with the usual antics. At a high point, the varsity basketball team defeated first place Petersburg. All through the year, Lancers showed their true colors. Class of ‘90 hopes for a second victory. The senior float: The Last Attempt.

The evening, however, would not have been complete without the en- thusiastic support of the faculty cheerleaders. Their rehearsed perfor- mance showed their true dedication to their peers. The night was a huge suc- cess as many students enjoyed watch- ing their teachers show their true col- ors. New students were also able to experience this Manchester tradition in support of their fellow classmates. “Hey coach Smith, uhh, where’s the ball?”’ The exhausted faculty rests up for their next shot on the floor.
