snowing Our — TRUE COLORS Overflowing With Color The true Lancer orange and blue pride overflowed into every aspect of Manchester High School this year. Red-hot excitement overtook MHS students and faculty at in- school pep rallies. Flamboyant fash- ion entered the building whether the temperature outside was 98 de- grees Fahrenheit or 28 degrees Fahrenheit. The spring sunshine greeted brand new athletic fields, making way for MHS sports. Due to the change in the grading scale, Manchester had more aca- demic stars than ever before. Ac- tivities such as Academic Trivia, Spotlight Awards, and Book Talks added to the long list of MHS gold- en achievements. Brand new orga- nizations, such as Brush-n-Canvas, Wes Waterman, George Townsend, and Chris Rowe expose the inside of a locker. 4 OPENING made a splash by allowing students to broaden their creativity and in- volvement at Manchester. All this and more added to the already radiant personalities in MHS. Filtrating this building was a student body full of diversity and uniqueness. While some came “decked out’’ from head to toe in leather, others decided to take the “casual approach’’ of blue jeans and docksiders. Many new faces entered with pizazz and freshness, helping returning students reestab- lish the MHS character of flaming pride and magnificent spirit. It could definitely be said that this year at Manchester we were SHOWING OUR TRUE COLORS. Displaying a winning score, the scoreboard is proof of Lancer success. Junior Melanie Abernathy is in action.

showing Our LANCER LIFE ach class that comes to L. Manchester is special in its own way. A certain spirit, or style, sets it apart from the rest. The four classes of the '88-’89 school year are no exception. Lancer sp irit prevailed and achieved our first string of in-school pep-rallies. This aspiring tradition was met by 6 LANCER LIFE Powder Puff’s ever-present one; once again, Seniors were victorious. Shortly after, Greg Mahan and Kristen Man- cini were crowned Homecoming King and Queen. For One Shining Moment was the theme to Prom, which was held downtown in the Richmond Cen- ter. The arrival of the S. C. A. and Senior assemblies, while recognizing the achievements of outstanding Lancers, covered the school with a sense of finality. Graduation aroused many memo- ries, while friends and family gathered to show Seniors the door to the future. When the next class arrives, they will see the marks left behind as we have all grown to show our true colors. Todd McCarthy and Beth Cabral prepare to crown the new Homecoming King and Queen. Drama Club shows the spirit of Our Town.
