ariety of course 'a style all our By Alan Reeves cademics: the basic reason for school. How could the banal rituals associated with academics possibly help create a style all our own? A good question, but one MHS has been able to answer successfully. One style which highlights Manhattan High is the wide variety of course offerings. Through such ad- vanced classes as engineering physics and calculus, we have set a precedent most schools are unable to follow. The prodigious offering of specialized science courses such as genetics, cell biology and human anatomy and physiology also has made us unique. ln addition, MHS is the only Kansas high school to offer oceanology. l learned a lot about the ocean, which was neat, because l've never been there, said Angela Finn, junior. Every department offers something special. For example, the study of myths and legends and introduction to film add extra flair to the English department, while the social studies department is able to provide students with a better understanding of factors AT WORK. Time is limited for Amy Pedersen as she finishes up a filing assignment project in the Business Software Applications class. lphoto by dunkin photo-graphicsl 6 A Style All Our Own offerings demonstrate own' in the classroom affecting them through such courses as Minorities, Economics and Sociology. ln all, MHS offers more than 250 courses. MHS is able to boast it has its own natural wildlife area, Project Wolf, at the school's back door. The university and the vocational-technical school also present special opportunities, as studednts are able to combine college credit with high school credit. l like taking a class at K-State. I think it's harder, but discipline is good, said Aimee Hall, senior. Even the fun side to our academic program helps portray our ambience. Where but at MHS could you find yearly field trips to the inviting shores of Mexico or Florida as offered by Coastal Studies. The extracurricular academics such as debate, forensics and quiz bowl have literally become worth their weight in gold as medals and trophies pile up. We have reasonably bright students here at Manhattan High, said Dr. James Rezac, principal. It is for this reason, and some of the special educational tools, that we, the students at MHS, are able to set a style all our own in the academic field. A MM,

The atmosphere permitted us to let loose and forget our problems. - Stacey Connaughton, 1 1 I really liked the Mr. MHS competition. The greased bodies were my favorite part. - Chez McClellan, 10 Having my older brother in school is not really any different. The best thing about it is that l can get a ride to school with him instead of my parents. - Renee Gatschet, 9 Fall Homecoming was fun except the hounds should have been able to keep the senior float in the parade. -Julie Thomas and Val Peckham, 12 The musical Bye Bye Birdie was excellent. The characters really played their parts well, almost as if they were really that person they were portraying. -W Stacy Simmons, 9 UF!
