WALL STREET y? 1 7:00 a.m. and, like it or not, everybody rolls over, shuts off their alarm, and jumps out of bed for the beginning of another day of school. After clothes are selected, breakfasts eaten, and last-minute notes, lunch tokens, and instructions are handed out, everyone is ready to go. Some kids will be walking while others will be riding buses or driving to school. By 8:15 the halls are full and kids are either talking about the night before or their upcoming tests. At the sound of the bell, everyone is headed for their first hour class and another school day has begun. 2 3 wm, JMM, and mart Jeans Jeans seem to make up a big part of M.H.S. students' wardrobes. They're not only worn for Dress-down Day, but for any day. Jeans seem to fit into any mood or situation. If you asked the students why they wear jeans, they would probably tell you that they can be worn with anything or they're more comfortable than anything else. They might even tell you they study better when they are wearing jeans. You never seem to get tired of jeans-there are too many variations. Jeans are made high-waisted or hiphuggers, baggy or tight, new or recycled, frayed or cuffed. Some are left the way they are bought, and some have patches or rick-rack added. They seem even more special because of the shortage of denim to make them and everyone seems to agree that nothing could really take the place of jeans. Jeans are by no means the only IN fashion. The girls are wearing platform shoes and the guys heels aren't much lower. Bow ties for guys are back and large colored beads are seen on the girls all through school. Both girls and guys are wearing baggy, cuffed pants for dress as well as for messing around and plaid suits seem to be the most popular for a special occasion. As soon as it got cold, parkas were seen throughout the school in blue, brown, and green along with the new short coats for girls. The styles of today seem to be both new and old with fashions from as far back as the 20's, but with something special added: a touch of 74 . Food for Thought .. . After two hours of studying, everyone has a chance to relax for a few minutes. As the bell rings ending third hour at 10:30, most of the kids head for the vending machines in the hall for a snack or a can of pop. Change for a quarter is the important issue of the ten minute break. If you can't find a dime to borrow or change for a quarter, you have to settle for a bite of someone else's candy bar or a sip of pop. The remains of Cheetos and Dr. Pepper are either tucked away in a locker or given away to someone else as the next bell rings From 11:00 until 12:30, the cafeteria continually fills and empties At lunch, the cafeteria is not only for eating, but for telling jokes and exchanging the morning news. All in all the cafeteria provides a much needed and appreciated service. Faces... Bright, Shining, Glowing Smiling faces. Each face with a meaning all it's own . A smiling face expressing joy, love, happiness and friendship. Smiles when you're proud of a friend, when you've reached a goal. .. Smiles when you win. . . Smiles when they say you're doin' fine or lookin' good. Smiling Faces-Whatcha smiling about? 9 Everyone waits for the day when he can walk up the M.H.S. steps and know that he is a Senior. A Senior Year is full of many new things-running the concession stand, selling Giftique, sponsoring the 5th 6th Grade Tourney, and initiating the Freshmen. Although there is no real initiation, the Freshmen girls suffer through water balloons and their tents falling down at the GAA FHA Campout in the fall. Wearing lipstick and signs at school, the boys play Buck-Buck at noon and Senior Says. The Seniors have the opportunity to look at the lower classes and know that they are at the top, but Freshmen will always have to look up and say, Just wait 'til we're Seniors! 10 Knowing. Guessing.

Directed by Mrs. Kay Grimmer Sheridan Whiteside was dining at the home of the Stanleys when he slips on their door-step and breaks his hip. He is laid up for six weeks, in a wheelchair, and full of tranquility when strange gifts arrive from his friends. When Maggie, his secretary, falls in love with the reporter, Bert Jefferson, Whiteside summons a glamorous actress, Lorraine Sheldon, to win the affections of the young man. Knowing the girl's charms, Maggie has a clever impersonator, Beverly Carlton, call Lorraine as Lord Bottomley, who the actress hopes to marry. He asks her by phone to return to him and be married, but Whiteside becomes suspicious and finds that no calls have come through from London. In revenge, Lorraine suggests a three-week rewrite on a play of Bert's at Lake Placid. Whiteside, knowing the trouble he's caused, seeks a way to get rid of Lorraine and the unexpected arrival of a mummy case furnishes a malicious idea.

Whiteside, then, departs from the Stanley's home triumphantly, but a second later a crash is heard—he has again slipped and fallen. 23 The week of October 1, 1973. It had been that time again when everyone was working on floats, memorizing plays and preparing skits. Homecoming time was here again. Friday was the most confusing day of the week. The parade began at 1:30 p.m. with the Sophomores having the winning float with the theme Live and Let Die. Guess Who's Coming to Dinner was the second place float by the Juniors. The Seniors got third place with the theme Get a Bucket Eagles. Shoot'en for a Victory was the fourth place float by the Freshmen. The Wells Fargo played for the Homecoming Dance which was held after the game in the activity room. Mrs. Grimmer crowned King Greg Dabler and Queen Pam Roush. Senior attendants were Denise Hartz and Ron Nelson. Representing the Junior class was Joyce Hadley and Jim Poling. Sophomore attendants were Cindy Lanxon and Jeff Poling. Freshman attendants were Cecilia Miller and Kevin Schisler. This year's Homecoming lived up to its tradition of being the most special and exciting event of the school year. We all had a chance to work hard together and enjoy ourselves at the same time. Most of all it gives everyone some memorable times to look back on. 24 cing week consisted of Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights working on the floats from 6:30-9:00 p. m. Although this takes a lot of work and time, it is the most enjoyable part of the Homecoming week. The Snake Dance and Bonfire were Thursday night with the cheerleaders yelling cheers all the way down to the park. Speeches were given by the football captains, Mr. Bourquin announced the 1973 King Queen, and the dummy and voo-doo dolls were then burned. The football game began at 7:30 p.m. with the Devils proving victorious with a score of 14-6. The half time show was based on Walt Disney songs and characters. There were the three little pigs and the wolf, snow white and five of the seven dwarfs. 26 The Annual Christmas Concert was held Friday, December 14, 1973, at the Bollman Memorial Field-house. The program consisted of Kindergarten through the Eighth Grade singing various Christmas tunes. The Fifth Grade and Grade School Band played three numbers apiece. The High School Chorus sang two numbers and they were: Old St. Nick Takes a Rockin' Trip, and Rock-A-Bell Jingle. The High School Band played: Totem Pole (concert march), Winter Frolic, and Sleigh Ride An added attraction this year was the High School Jazz Band playing This End Up and Movin' Up. This was an enjoyable evening for everyone who attended. December 21, 1973 The Student Council decided to do something a little bid different for their Annual Christmas Party. Believe us, it was a little bit different. The Student Council set the scene as the day after Christmas vacation starting off with a Welcome Back speech from Mr. Sale, portrayed by Wanda Larsen. He introduced a few new teachers, welcomed back a few old, and set the audience up for only a taste of the humor. The school day went on as a scene was shown of an inside view of the Drivers Ed. Car starring Joyce Hadley as Mr. Ricci and Pam Roush as the student driver. Mr. Ricci gave the student the run-around, as usual, and had the student in tears. Next period was Mr. Lane's study hall, everybody's favorite! Pam Roush, portraying Mr. Lane, was reading his newspaper sitting at the desk as King of the Study Hall. The study hall was being quiet as usual with the exception of a few flying erasers, a few airplanes and John Dale's fatal attempts at cutting up with Audie Rudiger, Shiela Donahue, Jeanine Bour-quin, Cecilia Miller, and Mary Webber. Wanda Larsen, portraying Mrs. Johanson's Chemistry Class, showed the easy-going teacher and the classes' reactions to her theories. The Price is Right was next with John Dale heading the whole show. Wanda Larsen, Shiela Donahue, and Mrs. Behrens were the contestants. Mrs. Behrens, of course, wins a Live Latin was her prize. Latin was portrayed by Joyce. The program was followed by teachers getting their usual Christmas presents. Pop and candy bars were then served to everyone furnished by the Student Council. 31 1.ELVER WATSON F.S. STATION 720 N.

Co., Buda M E Greenhouse, Sheffield The Market, Princeton Mrs. Johan ns en is our Math and Science teacher. One year of math is required so every Freshman is enrolled in either Algebra 1 or Practical Math. The Practical Math students leam the practical application of basic math ideas. This is to enable them to work with the math they have already learned without any advanced courses. One addition this year was a unit on the metric system. The Algebra I class teaches basic algebraic functions. Geometry is a second year math course. The class learned both plane and solid geometry. In plane geometry, two-dimensional figures such as circles and triangles are sketched and studied. Solid geometry is the study of three-dimensional figures such as spheres, cylinders, and pyramids. The students learned theorems and how to prove them. Sophomore Science was a new addition this year. Each course covered a period of 12 weeks. The first period was spent on the slide rule and metric system. During the second period, the students were taught basic Physics ideas. This course is now required before Chemistry or Physics can be taken. The Math Analysis class studies Trigonometry the first semester and the second is spent on Elementary Mathematical Analysis and Analytic Geometry. Chemistry is basically a study of the elements, their compounds, properties, and uses. The first semester was spent on learning basic chemistry while the second semester was spent more on the individual elements. Class time was spent in listening to lectures and in lab. Long class periods on Tuesdays and Thursdays enabled the class to have hour-long lab days. This time was spent observing various unknown ions. An addition to lab activities this year was the making of commercial products by the students. The Calculus course taught this year was quite different from other math courses. It began in the middle of the year and was offered on a volunteer basis. No credit was given for taking the course and no grades were recorded. It helped to prepare the students a little better for college math courses. Mr. Poling, one of our new teachers this year, teaches Biology class. It is offered to Freshmen and is one of the two science courses required for graduation. Biology class is taught in the lab and is a study of life in both of the two SI Miss Langellier, our newest teacher at teaches English IH and IV, and French 1 and II. French I had an all-girl class this year. The girls listened to tapes as well as their own taped conversations, in order to improve their speech. They learned the different sounds and pronunciation of French as well as how to structure sentences. Through memorization of conves—rioo and repetition, they gained 4mm skills. Beside conversations, they also learned the days of the week, months, numbers, and the alphabet. French 11, besides using their text- challenge. Quite a bit of time during the second semester was spent on learning to correctly write a term paper. English I II and English Communications, and Latin I II are taught by Mrs. Behrens. English I II are taken by all Freshman and Sophomores. English Communications is offered to Juniors as a 3rd year course. English I develops proficiency in the 4 areas of communication: reading, writing, listening and speaking. Students learn to express their feelings in writing and speaking. book, read and translated, Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince). The English 111 class studied American Literature. This included all the writings from the first settlers in the 1600's to the present. Both prose and poetry were studied in different forms. Croup discussion took up most of the time, but the students also listened to records, had small group projects, and worked on individual projects. Mini-causes were introduced this year, including a few weeks each on the supernatural, music, and science fiction. One of the highlights of the year was a trip taken English □ develops vocabulary and grammar. Advanced work is done with emphasis on each individual's abilities. Lit. including drama, essays and short stories are studied. English Communications includes job applications, and interpreting advertising, graphs, and other symbols. One project was an antilitter campaign. Students posted Please Don't Litter signs all over school. I. S. U. to see the play Spoon River Anthology . The English IV class studied English Literature. English Lit. is different from American Lit. not only in that different authors are studied, but it includes other forms of the English language besides modem. A study of the history of language is included in the English Lit. Along with the textbook, several weeks each were taught on music and science fiction. As with the jtmiers, these courses depended mostly on student in-put and therefore gave them a new kind of Miss Shull teaches Home Ec I, □ and 111 IV, which are combined, and Girl's Physical Education classes. Home Ec 1 studied grooming, family relations, knitting, crocheting, and sewing, nutrition and breakfasts and child care. Cooking was covered in the 2nd senester which the students especially liked. The girls are divided between the 3 cooking units and work in small groups. For 2nd semester tests, they planned and prepared their own breakfasts. Home Ec II learned a variety of things this year. They covered just a little bit of sewing, home hygiene and care of the sick, electrical appliances and other household equipment. The sophomore year stresses foods and nutrition quite a bit. They spent a lot of time learning canning and also had a luncheon unit. The Juniors and Seniors were in one Home Ec class. This year they did the housing and home furnishings unit. The big project of the year was the house made by each girl. It gave them a chance to be creative and imaginative as well as to plan the house they really would like to have someday. Many hours were spent on the houses and much pride was taken in them. The girls also did a unit on foods, stressing meat cookery and foreign foods. More advanced sewing was also done by each of the girls as an individual project. The Latin I class is a study of not only the language but historical information as well. Basic grammar is necessary and special emphasis is placed on vocabulary including Imglish words derived from Latin. Study is also done on geographical background and Greek and Roman mythology. Basic grammar is completed in Latin II and study is done on readings on Greek and Roman life, government, culture, and history of Caesar's. The Industrial Arts classes, taught by Mr. Bourquin, are designed to develop skills in working with your hands and in the production and use of sketches, diagrams, graphs, and drawings. The class is intended to make leisure time productive. The Industrial Arts 1 class includes mechanical drawing, woodworking, electricity, and metalworking. Nine weeks is spent on each of these areas. Industrial Arts II gives the students a chance to begin development of skills in each of two areas-drafting and woodworking. A semester is spent on each of these. Industrial Arts III covers metals and electricity and Industrial Arts IV offers an advanced course for the entire year on one of the four areas. Each student may choose the course he wants to follow on the basis of his own interest and ability. Health Education was new this year and was taught during 2nd semester. It included: How your body works, Health and Ecology. Mr. Eugene Burton is head of the Business Dept. His classes include Typing I, Office Practice, Bookkeeping and Shorthand 1 II. Typing I is offered to all high school students. They learn to type letters, charts and tables, and to use dittos and stencils. The correct way to type a term paper including footnotes and bibliography are also learned. Office Practice is taught every other year, with Typing II the other year. Developing typing skills and speed are the main points. The students also learn to use different office machines, such as a dictaphone and adding machine. Each of the students is a secretary to a teacher which gives them some experience in this area. Bookkeeping is offered to Juniors and Seniors. Data processing is stressed much more than before. Also, income tax forms are studied more intensively. Shorthand I is offered to just Juniors and Seniors. Typing must have either been taken before this year or taken this year in order to take shorthand. In shorthand I, all the theory is taught through dictation either by Mr. Burton or from tapes or records, which are very useful. Shorthand II is a follow-up and the students learn to develop their skills in writing and reading. Speed is stressed very much. 53 Psychology is taught by Mrs. Grimmer. The 1st 6 weeks was spent on a study of schools of Psychology and experimentation. The 2nd 6 weeks dealt with learning and perception and the 3rd with personality development. Mrs. Grimmer also teaches Speech class. Speech is a multi-purpose class. It is designed to help a student learn to make a speech by going through each phase of it from deciding on a topic to presenting it in class. It also helps give the student self-confidence when in front of a group of people as well as making it easier to communicate with people at different levels. Many different types of speeches are studied including informative, emotional, entertaining, and impromptu. The students also prepared and presented their own plays. The Sociology class was taught by Mrs. Schmidt. It is only offered second semester to Seniors for 1 2 credit and was new this year. The class studied man and the way he behaves as an individual and in relation to others. They stress the point they do not judge people and try to decide how they should behave, just the way it really is. They followed a textbook minimally, and structured the class for the most part themselves. Each person also had an individual project in which he read a book related to some aspect of Sociology and gave an oral report. It is hoped that this class will not only be considered preparatory to college courses, but will also in itself give the students a better understanding of our society.

The Business Classes at M.H.S. traveled to Peoria on April 2, 1974. They visited the Keystone Steel and Wire Company. In order to see the processing of steel, everyone was required to wear plastic glasses and a hard hat. Divided into three groups, the tour consisted of seeing many ways of melting steel. The most fascinating process was seeing a red hot steel block placed on rollers and pressed into long rods all of equal length. The tour in the afternoon was cancelled in order to see the Data Processing Center at Keystone. They demonstrated the operation of some of the machines, such as running off pictures made in letters and numbers. This part was especially interesting to the Bookkeeping class who had been studying Data Processing at that time. Lunch was eaten at the Ponderosa Steak House and the bus arrived back in Manlius around 3:45 p.m. 6 2 Latin Award-Sally Rodgers Outstanding Senior Vocalist-Pam Roush Outstanding Senior Band Member-Ron Kerchner Outstanding Senior Service for music-Craig Schisler English Award-Debbie Award French Award-Maribeth Miller History Award-Sheila Donahue Outstanding G.A .A.

The F.F.A. members rounded up the animals and brought them into school that morning. Mike Wirth brought in a pair of pheasants; John Andrews brought in five pigs; Chris Peterson brought in her horse; and rabbits, dogs, geese, a calf, and sheep made up the rest of the farm. Kindergarten through the fifth grade came in to see the animals and pet them. For some, this is an everyday thing. But for many, it was a new experience. The F.F.A. was celebrating National F. F. A. Week, February 16-23. 64 The MHS Band was very active during the school year. They practiced four times a week. Mr. Connor, the instructor, was very enthusiastic with everything and has really helped the band acquire some of the things they have been trying for. The band played many new and interesting songs this year. Some of the favorites were Cherish, Sweet Georgia Brown, Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart, Brasilia, and Rhapsodic Episode. The Donkey Basketball Game was held for a money-making project. It was very successful and proved a lot of fun.

A team, consisting of three returning lettermen, is a little inexperienced, but through the efforts of the coaches and the players, the season was well worth the time spent. Football season began on August 20, 1973 with double practices the first week. Beginning at 8:00 a. m. , our boys worked through the hot weather, determined to re-build the team. At 2:00 p.m., the work-outs continued, sweating their way through the afternoon. The team elected Greg Dabler and DuWayne Polte for this year's captains. Scouting reports helped the team this year and these men were Harry Wallace and Jerry Woodley. Finally, it was time for the opening game. The Red Devils, rather nervous in the locker room, came out determined to win and did so by defeating the Geese from Wethersfield by a score of 24-8. Due to the injuries of some of the players and the shifting of positions because of this, the Red Devils lost their first game to Wyoming on September 28. Meeting tougher teams as the season progressed, the Devils did prove victorious at Homecoming and won their last game by defeating Bradford. The season ended with a 4-5 record. After the Bradford game, the Seniors took off their helmets and cleats for the last time. The season might not have been what they wanted, but it was nothing to take lightly either. There were bright points, like our Homecoming victory, and then there were dark hours also, like the crushing defeat at the hands of Princeville. This one team in the Blackhawk Conference, with determination and guts, was the Manlius Red Devils of 1973. 82 TEAM-FIRST ROW: A1 Jensen, Tony Martin, Keith Carpenter, Ray Bolin, Gary Oloffson, Mike Wirth, Robin Hewitt, John Andrews.

It takes a lot of work, energy, and time. The most important responsibility is promoting school spirit. The Cheerleaders make signs, psyche up the team, and plan pep assemblies. They practice every Thursday after school, and make plans throughout the week of a big game. They attended a clinic at Illinois State University on October 13, 1973. During basketball season, the cheerleaders sold decals which said, Manlius Red Devils. It is a good feeling to know that there are 12 enthusiastic and willing girls behind the team and their efforts. Their advisor this year was Miss Langellier. Her time and concern was greatly appreciated. J. V.

M4 Many things are happening each year on the basketball court. Players get taller, equipment gets better, and fans get peppier in most cases. Basketball is one of the most appealing sports in America, but not as big as the drawing card as football. In the case of a small school, it's still the answer to the need for a major sport. Basketball is a complicated sport. There's more involved here than shooting at a basket. A lot of difficult maneuvers-both offensive and defensive-take place every second on the floor. The 1973-74 Basketball season fell below expectations as reflected in the team's record. It was hoped that the team, under the coaching of Coach Burton, would jell as last year, but this was not the case. Manlius slipped from a 4th place position to an 8th place position in Blackhawk standings. This showed a major setback compared to last seasons surge forward from the slump a year before last. The high points of the season included an outstanding victory over state ranked Wethersfield Geese earlier in the season and Senior Ron Ker-chner going over the 1,000 point mark for his Varsity career. As with any sport, the main goal is to go out and play with the idea of being a good sport, no matter what the outcome of the game or the season. This goal was met making the season a plus. Although this season was not an outstanding one, in many respects, it still deserves the right of having the fans give a hand to the Varsity team and Varsity Coach for a fine effort on the court of play. 90 LEFT TO RIGHT-Rodney Johnson, Harold Sarber, Kevin Schmidt, John Dale, Ron Kerchner, Bob Hensel, Ron Loo-tens, Coach Buxton.

In the area of Frosh-Soph play, it is not the contention of hashing over rank or the won-lost record for this year's season. Instead, the Frosh-Soph presented good showmanship on the court of play along with great promise for the years ahead. We tend to neglect the Frosh-Soph because of the dominance of the Varsity team, but it is the Frosh-Soph that paves the way for the future.

There can be no serious doubt that you will have the opportunity of influencing and experiencing more rapid and profound changes in your act of the play than have occurred in any act since the opening of the play. If you are to become a success at whatever parts you determine as important for yourselves, you must strive to become easily acclimated to the many changes which will certainly occur in the script.

During this summer of 1984 I had the opportunity to hire someone capable and trustworthy enough to leave my responsibilities to for a few weeks while I came to my home town of Manlius for a visit. I knew the girl I hired to take my place during a slack period was very responsible since she was a member of the class of '74. This girl, CAROLYN ANDERSON, took over my secretarial position for the President and did an outstanding job. I flew up in a 747 jet and you wouldn't believe who the head pilot was-JOEL PETERSON. I remember how he would fly down mainstreet of Manlius in his Charger and scare everyone to death, especially when Tater had a truck load of guys one noon. Upon my arrival, I landed at a beautiful airport-one example of how my small home town had developed into a prospering city. This airport was managed by STEVE HEWARD. Steve said he beat his mother's record-he now has a tribe of 14 kids. I started out on my tour of Manlius now. Knowing that Steve has lived here all of his life, he showed me a very nice place to eat. Walking along a much stretched out mainstTeet, I saw a large neon sign flashing Nyla'sCafe to the public. When 1 walked in, 1 could see that Betty's Diner had really changed. Seeing a sharp-looking woman coming to greet me, I recognized her as NYLA MONSON. I told Nyla I forgot my lunch token, but she said I could bring two tomorrow. That evening, Nyla was to be hostess to a group of gentlemen called the Happy (?) Bachelors ! DUWAYNE POLTE and KEVIN SCHMIDT were the two most responsible for organizing this group, so I lingered a few moments to talk to them. DuWayne was rather sleepy, but said that he was a prosperous welder in town and Kevin has his own pharmacy right down the street. 1 then decided 1 would go to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Hartz to see the former JULIE JACOBSON. Julie has her beauty salon right in her home now and sitting under the dryer was MARY SALE. Mary said she owns and operates a store downtown in which she sells pierced earrings. She sure wore all shapes and sizes of earrings in high school. After spending an enjoyable evening, it was decided that first thing in the morning, Julie and Mary would show me the town and tell me the outcome of the remainder of the Class of '74. The next morning, 1 could see one factor governing the expansion of Manlius. This was Manlius Community Hospital with RON KERCHNER as head doctor. As I turned around, I heard that old familiar chicken call. This could be none other than LORI HEWITT. R.N. Hewitt told me that another '74 classmate worked as head nurse on the 2nd floor, TERESA NEAHRINC. Attached to this center was a Special Education Department headed by BARB GAUNT. Barb said she drives a Cadillac now, a little more up in the world after trading in her Opel. Next, they pointed out the town newspaper building. KERRY JENSEN was the editor but I could not speak to him because he was running the paper. We then passed several new apartment buildings, owned by LORI SWANSON. She is quite wealthy now, with her name and picture plastered on many advertising billboards throughout town. Walking in the main office, I saw SALLY RODGERS at the secretaries desk. She was taking dictation from Lori, so I didn't bother her and proceeded. Manlius sure has a beautiful bank now. MICHAEL NELSON gets the credit for it. If it hadn't been for his outstanding speeches in the calm way in which he operates, the bank never would have been built. It seems the bank's main contributor is KEVIN STIER, who owns 'Stier' s Industries , the former Kory's. A new store in town which would catch any woman's eye was Bettie's Crochet Shop' owned by BETTIE HENSEL. Bettie is also a well-known author and just had her book of poetry published entitled Love-Is Ir Rea! 9 Our class surely has prominent people. JOHN SCHMIDT'S voice thrills the world with his own composition, My Blanket and ME . He is famed throughout the world for it with her other composition, MY Mutton and Me . We took a ride out to the new consolidated school outside of town. I couldn't believe how big it was. I wondered if it haa changed hands since I left. Can you imagine? RICK CHILDERS is the new Superintendent. For as many times as he was in the office during high school, he should have known all the procedures by heart. I asked Rick if any students of the Class of '74 came back there to teach and he mentioned MA RI BETH MILLER and PAM ROUSH. Maribeth is head of the Business Dept, and the students have nicknamed her GAL, in place of GUY. Pam is the art director of the entire school. I remember she really did fantastic artwork for the Devils Diary. While in Europe, I saw some of her paintings hanging in the Louvre Art Museum in Paris. Rick also told me that RANDY MONSON is head janitor at the school and now has his own lawn chair in the boiler room. Saying goodbye to Rick, I thought I had seen everything new. But they then pointed out the Mayor's house located on a place you probably remember as Pitman's Hill. This large, white, mansion on the outskirts of the city was a home for the best of mayors. SHEILA DONAHUE, now presiding over this position, is Manlius' first woman mayor. Mayor Donahue told me that she bought this land from GREG DABLER, a leading fanner in the Manlius area. She also said that CRAIG SCHISLER is now the Bureau County Farm Advisor and helped her pick out the most convenient and logical place place to build her home. On our way back, they told me that WANDA LARSON received her masters from ISU and is now an administrator at Blake University. I guess Kuster made his last stand-Wanda now has four kids. Speaking of kids, DENISE HARTZ turned out to be Mrs. Mother Hubbard with five kids and mns her own turkey farm now. Next, we stopped at the Stoller Tractor Company owned by NATHAN STOLLER . Nate told me he got out of the farming business when his farm was flooded by the canal. As I was talking to Nate, a 1200 C.C. Harley Davidson motorcycle pulled up and the driver was RANDY TESKE. Tater owns the Hen House now and still gets his kicks by working at the pumps. I remembered that Tater always knew the gossip about everybody so I asked him about our remaining classmates of '74. Sure enough he did know. RAY BOLIN is now a 5 star general in the Army and I can still hear his mother saying, That's My Boy ! KEITH CARPENTER plays the position of (fiarterback for the Green Bay Packers and his wife, Sheri plays fullback. RON NELSON is an Agricultural Engineer and does his own commercials to promote hisChiquita Bananas, and PATTI PIERSON is a national figure in the Girls' Basketball Team in Brooklyn. Patti got married and had twins and they talk twice as fast as Patti did. Tater was telling me this on the way back to the airport. That did it! I had seen everything and had to get back to the quiet of my own sanctuary at Washington D.C. and should let you get back to your household chores. I know now what time and the future is, but our class can take it if Manlius can be remodeled like that! Love, Cindy 1 1 1 Class Officers President-Ron Kerchner Vice President-Sheila Donahue Secretary-Reporter-Lori Swanson Treasurer-Ron Nelson Student Council-Pam Roush Wanda Larsen Sheila Donahue The Senior year is a special year, and so it was to the Class of 74 . Our last year of high school streaked by with such speed that we were graduates before we knew it. This year started off with all of the Seniors selling Giftique. This was our first money-making project and every Senior was on his own to earn money for the Senior Class Trip. Football season rolled along, and everyone pitched in and set up the Senior Concession stand. For the past three years, we had watched other Senior classes run this stand, and now it was our turn. Being enthusiastic, many Seniors took popcorn and candy to the people, rather than having them come to the stand. In a few months we moved everything to the field house where basketball games began. The profits of working were quite successful, especially during the Holiday Tournament, the 5th and 6th Grade Tournament which the Senior class sponsored, and the Regional Tournament which we were fortunate to have this year. On Palm Sunday, April 7, we had our Pancake and Sausage Breakfast. It was held at the Sportsman's Club in Manlius from 6:00 a.m. - 2.00 p.m. A few Seniors sold Rex Soap in which they profited a dollar per bottle. But most of the Seniors were getting tired of selling and were ready to pay in the money they did not earn for the trip. Throughout the year, everyone was frantically trying to figure out how much money they really had. While working, we had but one goal in our minds-New Orleans! The trip cost $220.00. Of course, these were only the main events of our Senior year. It was also filled with little incidents such as making the Freshmen sing to us and play Simon Says; dancing to Sha Na Na in the newsroom; singing the Star Spangled Banner to the flag-less flagpole, and setting up three tables of popcorn during the finals of the Regional Tourney. Then came Graduation night. Real tears filled our eyes for the first time. There was both happiness and sadness that night. Happiness because we had achieved a long-time goal, and sadness because we knew we would never be as close to each other as we were that night. We would never again pass through the halls of M.H.S. , hear the clanging of the radiators, or participate in any high school events. Time had brought an end to our high school days, but time will never end the wonderful memories we have of the Class of 1974. 112 Invocation: Rev.

I'm afraid it didn't work out that way. It's taken four years of Seeing and Hearing; of Doing and Undoing; of Talking to people and Realizing. Realizing all the things I've done, And all that's still left to do. Realizing that now I've got to Decide- Working? More Studying? Just Hangin' Around? Realizing that the World's out there waiting. .. Ready to break my back Willing to heal my wounds. But I'm ready, too. I know what it's all about now. Thanks, Manlius High for subtly Pointing to things. Soon, you'll be but a memory cherished. But it's O. K., because I've found out. 115 New Orleans, Louis., —Biloxi, Miss. —June3-5, 1974 On Monday June 3, 1974, the Senior Class left for their trip by bus from school to Midway airport in Chicago. The first day was spent in Biloxi, Mississippi. We all layed out in the sun by the Gulf of Mexico and got burned to a crisp, and went to Gus Stevens for dinner that night. On June 4, we went on a cruise and and the next day we left for New Orleans, Louisiana. In New Orleans, we saw the French Quarters and went to Masson s Restaurant which is noted for having one of the best ten chefs in the world. Everyone had a great time and really enjoyed the trip. 116 Bartman, Cindy Behrens, Jane Anne Behrens, Nancy Boone, Gary Bourquin, Julie Creason, Dana Dale, John Foster, Colleen Hadley, Joyce Ham, Nancy Hensel, Bob Kelm, Karla Lathrop, Scott Lathrop, Sherrie Latstetter, Rodney Lebahn, Lorraine Lootens, Ron McMahon, Teresa 118 Class of 1975 Officers President-Debbie Roush Vice President-Joyce Hadley Secretary-Teresa McMahon Treasurer-Julie Bourquin Reporter-Sherrie Lathrop Student Council-Karla Kelm The Junior Class at M.H.S. took on many responsibilities this year. It really felt great being upperclassmen-partici-pating in Varsity sports and sponsoring the Junior-Senior Prom. There was one new member to our class this year, Jim Poling. Jim fit into M.H.S. quickly and made many new friends. He and Joyce Hadley were the Homecoming attendants. Our float, in which we plaoed second was Guess Who's Coming to Dinner . On April 19, 1974, our class sponsored an International Supper and on May 17, the Junior-Senior Prom was held at Emerald Hills Country Club.

Beginning high school, we faced many problems, but also had many enjoyable times such as singing to the Seniors and doing little odd jobs for them throughout the year. Our class sponsored a dance during the year and the band was the Dog Bite . It was very successful. Our class sponsor was Mr. Lane. We would like to thank him for all that he has done for us this year. We are looking forward to next year and leaving our Freshmen year as a memory to look back on.
