m All Men Are Created Equal (jive Me JCiberty Or Qive Me Death George Washington could not tell a lie about chopping down the cherry tree, and neither could the students and faculty tell a lie, for their expressions and actions tell the whole story. J Have Hot Vet Begun Zo Tight I have not yet begun to fight, or so says John Paul Jones. This statement depicts the fighting spirit in all of us. Some seem always ready for a fight and some would rather prefer not to. 11 dour Score And Seven years Ago 13 A year of smiling faces, ambition, harried nerves, teary eyes, THE BIG DAY, —a year in a week—, Homecoming '75--How great it was! Monday: bonnets, billboards, and shiny buttons filled the halls. At noon a tug-of-war broke down in the middle by a faulty rope. Got a friendly enemy! A quarter will put them in the stock any day of this week. Tuesday: Happy Day(s)! The Roaring 50's, slick hair, long skirts, red lips (right Freshmen?), rolled up jeans. Wednesday: Dress Up Day and the bubble blowing contest—the winner? Miss Swanland—how does that make you feel? Thursday: Slop Day—a day admired by all—also the pie eating contest, or was it the pie throwing contest? Who won? Does anyone know? The pep rally, snake dance, bonfire, King Jeff Poling G Queen Diane McMahon, the dummy followed by hundreds of voodoo dolls, and then back to the floats to finish up. Friday: October 3, 1975—Red G Black Day—egg toss, the parade, first place goes to the Sophomores, fire truck, the mayor, attendents, King G Queen, the fans, the loss of the game, the dance, the coronation. Proof: Homecoming—a year of memories over in a week. Yes, Homecoming 1975 was great! 19 The Homecoming Pep Rally was a great success. The Cheerleaders blindfolded some of the guys and then had them put on their football equipment. The winner was Jeff Poling who then picked who he wanted to be placed in the stocks. Jeff picked Larry Roland. The Bug-a-bug-aboo's struck again, which left lasting marks on their faces. The float prizes went as follows: Sophomores with The Devils Sting winning first place; Freshmen with Devils Strike Again receiving second place; Juniors with The Impossible Dream: re-cieving third place; Seniors with Lay 1 on Them recieved fourth place. 20 THE DEVIL’S STRIKE, STING, AND MARCH, DREAM, AND LAY ONE ON THEM FOR A VICTORY! 21 Forty-two football players burst through a paper door with a picture of a Red Devil painted on it and Homecoming night has begun. The fight for a victory rages on Manlius turf, but in the end, Manlius loses 6-7. The guys who played now know what losing really is. So with heavy hearts and never dying spirits, we go to the Homecoming Dance. At 10:00 on October 3, 1975 Homecoming Coronation Dance begins. A haze of people, smiling faces, a kiss by Mr. Sale, and Stairway to Heaven is all that's remembered of coronation. The King so tired and sore, the longest game, the longest dance he will ever know. Homecoming of 1975. After a week of hurried events and a night of unescapable memories to look back on, and for others, well, there are still a few ragged ribbons waving on the goal posts. 22 1.

It was a classic 3 act, one set play featuring two faintly-on-the-old-side ladies, Abbey and Martha Brewster played by Diane McMahon and Linette Rombout. Abbey and Martha had developed a propensity for relieving other people from miseiy. Elderberry wine spiked with arsenic had enough kick to exterminate a dozen ailing gentlemen. Abbey and Martha were ready to go for more when Mortimer Brewster, portrayed by Steve Oloffson, enters the scene. Mortimer, who is woed and wanted by Elaine the fair Mandy Martin, realizes life cannot go on or end as the case may be like this. He tries to discourage the Aunts from their hobby, but alas they are set in their ways. Mortimer thinks he has his hands full but the play has just begun. Jonathen, Ron De Brock, and his faithful assistant Dr. Einstein (that's Herman not Albert), alias Randy Toots Lootens, who set out to prove that not only are they as good as, but better than the Aunts at the game the Brewsters play. While Sargent O'Hara, Deb Morgan, and the rest of the 53rd precinct, Leslye Anderson, Roger Craine, and Lenore Lebahn, try to handle the legal aspects of this mind-bewitching case. Teddy, Kevin Schisler, calmly strolls in to inspect the Panama Canal, as all good Presidents do. Mrs. Gibbs, Mrs. Whitherspoon, and Mrs. Harper, played by Ann McMahon, Karen Roush, and Doreen Wiggim, are the three ladies who escape. The poor body, Chris Wise, is the only one who didn't make it. A special thanks to director Mrs. Kay Burton and Student Director Jeanine Bourquin and to all the committees who helped make this play possible. FOOTBALL. BASKETBALL BANQUETS w NOTHIN PHONEY ABOUT the DEVILS i! pUji VJIkd With the season ending four and five, the football banquet was held in the cafeteria. Huge skunks and flowers covered the walls to illustrate the theme, We're SCENT-imental About Cur Devils . Jeff Poling was voted Most Valuable Player. Everyone was truly proud of our little stinkers . In March, the basketball banquet was held with the motto, Nothin' PHONEY About the Devils . MVP on varsity was Audie Rudiger, Most Improved, Greg Whitmer, Best Defense, Rodney Johnson, Most Improved Defense, Steve Carrell, and various others. Most Valuable J.V. was Bill Hensel, Most Improved, Rich Williams, Best Defense, Greg Polte, and Most Imp. freshmen, Corie Hartz. Coach Hunter presented her players with a rose. Viva Polte was MVP, and Diane McMahon, Most Improved on the girl's team. All cheerleaders received their awards and flowers were given to Miss Langellier. The evening came to an end with a standing ovation for Coach Burton. It was indeed a very special night for all who attended. Christmas Comes Zo M-M.S. The Student Council did an excellent job on the Christmas party this year. On the program were a dramatization of a daily office procedure, various talent contests, and a near professional wrestling match. In the office, people were inspected, detected, neglected, rejected, and all kinds of stuff. A board meeting was also held to determine the punishment for a fugitive from justice who had hung George . The talent contest pitted the faculty against the student body. The show was topped off with a wrestling match between two teams of experts: Roly Poly DeBrock and Biggie Monson vs John Andrews and Putski Jensen. The match ended in double take downs, leaving the choice of victor to the audience. 28 After hours of studying and cramming for semester tests, the students of Manlius High School were privileged again this year to have Mini Courses. For some it was a breather , for others, ... a way to get out of class! The courses offered were: C.B. Radios, Jim Rutledge; Italian Cooking, Mrs. Be a Wiggin; Photography, Mr. Burton; Body Language, Mrs. Burton; Tennis, Mr. Andre-sen; Judo, Mr. Merle Horwedel; French Cooking, Miss Langellier; Football For Girls, Mr. Bourquin; Macrame, Miss Langellier; Chess, Mr. Burton; Music Appreciation, Mr. Partridge; Hunting, Mr. Ed Wirth; Trapping, Mr. Orey Zeca. Because of the time limit of one day and the overabundance of students signing up to take the courses, only the above courses were able to be squeezed into the schedule. Some of the courses attracted swarms of students. Three examples of these were: Tennis, three different times in one day, Italian Cooking, and C. B. Radios. Italian cooking, with its large turnout, featured lasagna, sweet and sour pork, rice, and garlic bread. Now, that's Italian ! Mr. Andresen't Tennis course was a hit—it taught the basics of beginning tennis along with a little pro on the side. V Mini-Curses (0 The student body gave the C. B. Radios course a big 10-4 and when we found out that the Judo course, taught by Mr. Horwedel, was only for one day, we were crushed! In French Cooking, taught by Mademoiselle Langellier, we made crepes.. or is it pronounced craps? We all felt that body language was sufficient, but we found that more students took photography to see what would develop. Many girls took football for kicks and Macrame had us all in knots. All in all, the many mini-courses were a lot of fun and we're looking forward to them next year! 33 This year's Sweetheart Prom was very special, because it was held on February 14, St. Valentines Day, at Tiskilwa High School. As in the past, the F.F.A. and F.H.A., or Home Ec. Club Chapters of Manlius, Western, and Tiskilwa consolidated to meet the cost of Sweetheart Prom. The Prom started at 8:00 and ended at 11:00, with the band Delicious preforming many popular songs excellently. The theme of Sweetheart Prom was A Treasury of Thought . At 10:00 the Manlius Coronation began, with Chris Peterson intoducing each member of the court. The 1976 Sweetheart Prom Court was: Karla Stenros and Rodney Johnson for second attendants; Karen Roush and John Andrews for first attendants, with Ron Wright standing in for John. The 1976 King Queen were Jackie Benavidez and Roger Craine, who were crowned by Mr. and Mrs. Maas. The Manlius coronation dance song was Color My World . All in all, for those who attended, Sweetheart Prom was A Treasury of Thought for our memories to hold. 35 The annual Christmas Concert was heldDecember 11, 1975, at 7:30 p.m., at the Bollman Memorial Fieldhouse in New Bedford, under the direction of Mr. Roger Partridge. With the theme Christmas Around the World , songs from different countries of the world filled the hearts of all who were there. Songs ranged from German, American, and Spanish origin, sung by the High School Chorus, to the traditional English songs such as Jolly Old St. Nicholas, proudly belted out by the spunky Kindergarteners. To say the least, the Partridge Family did an excellent job in reviving the native and foreign favorites and promoting the Christmas spirit. Stairway Zo Heaven ‘Junior-Senior Prom Social Highlight Of School year PROM, 1976, was highlighted by the crowning of the king and queen, Mike Wirth and Jackie Benavidez. Senior attendants were Kathy Polte and Jeff Poling. Junior attendants were Jeanine Bourquin and Kevin Schisler. Prom this year was again at the Emerald Hills Country Club in Sterling, on May 14. The festivities began at 6:30 with a dinner of Swiss steak, baked potatoes, green beans and ice cream. Viva Polte welcomed the seniors and guests, Jeff Poling replied on behalf of the seniors, and Kevin Schisler gave the invocation. After dinner Chris Peterson read the senior prophesies and Diane McMahon read the wills. Later, couples pictures were taken, and we danced to the Rock-n-Roll Boogie Band. Coronation was at 10:00 p. m., and later you could either play pool, bowl, or watch a movie (Trinity is Still My Name.) Prom ended at 2:00 a.m. with many couples returning to Diane McMahon's house for breakfast. For all who attended this year's prom, it will remain a treasured memory. 42 The awards assembly this year was held on May 20. The NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY held the opening ceremony with graduating NHS students leading the program. Participating seniors were Jeff Poling, John Andrews, Diane McMahon and Kathy Polte.

Science is required for freshman students. This may be in the form of biology or general science. The latter is the one chosen by those who wash to learn abilities they can apply to the principles they have already learned. Biology is the study of life, and the students learn the functions of mice and men. The students learn through disection, drawings, and literature the differences of animals they before thought alike. English is required on all grade levels. The freshman year is spent mostly on themes, short stories, and novels. It helps the student develop reading skills to a higher level, as well as teaching him to appreciate literature. This year, the English I class was more individualized, with students lining up contracts with the teacher. French I is a class which teaches the student the basis of the French language. The class is taught through written and spoken word. This class was also taught under the contract rule, as was English I. Industrial Arts I is the first year of a possible four year course. It gives the students experience in the fields of electricity, woodworking, and drafting. Using these skills, they undertake the project of constructing a lamp. Typing I is the first year of a possible two year course, that teaches the proper way to type business jobs. It is a conglomeration of fun and work. Two types of mathematics are offered to the freshman. He may take general math or algebra. General math is the studying of the principles the student already knows. Algebra teaches new ways of doing complex mathematics, including the use of letters in place of numbers. After learning the principles, the students are taught how these will help them in the problems they will encounter in future years. Agriculture I is another of the many four year type courses. Students learn the facts that they will need to help them in their farming careers. They learn of crops, wheels, livestock, and record keeping. They also become members of the Future Farmers of America. Home Economics I is another first year class. The girls learn to crochet, knit, embroider, cook, and sew. Sophomores are required to take composite education. The main parts of this class deal with driver's education, consumer's education, and health, taught in this order during die school year. Sophomore science is a class that explores the basic topics involved in science. Each six week period is dedicated to one of these topics, which range from a review of algebra to chemistry and physics. Speech is a class that teaches just what its name suggests. During the year the student learns how to give informative speeches, persuasive speeches, demonstrations, and interviews. Publications class teaches the students the organization of periodicals. The pupils write sport and news articles, editorials, and general newspaper and annual work. Geometry is an old favorite. It teaches of angles, polygons, shapes, and proofs. English II is mostly a literature class, Juniors and Seniors are, of course, the most privileged of all the high school. They are allowed to take all courses that the lower classes do. Three types of English classes are offered to the upperclassmen. The first, Communication Skills, deals with the basic English necessary to get a job, along with some literature. They learn how to fill out applications, and also some prose and poetry. English III and English IV have very much in common. Crammer, Vocabulary, and Term papers are dealt with in both classes. The only difference is English 111 teaches American Literature, while English IV teaches English Literature. Home Ec III and IV is a combined class of Juniors and Seniors. It goes into very advanced cooking, and spends a great amount of time on home planning. One division of this is interior decorating. Industrial Arts III is supposed to be one semester of electricity and one semester of sheet metal. But because they usually cover all the material in less time, they decide as a class which topic to cover in the extra time. Industrial Arts IV is a very individualized class. Each student decides upon which main skill they wish to undertake, whether it is sheet metal, electricity, or a number of others. Agriculture III deals with the various topics necessary for the modem farmer. as was English I. Students studied plays, humor, and various forms of propaganda. Home Economics II is the second year of a possible four year course. In this class girls learn more advanced cooking and sewing, along with canning and pickling. They also take the role of a housewife by planning meals for their families . Industrial Arts II is another second year class of a possible four year course. It involves one semester of woodworking. During the latter period of time, students may undertake projects involved with woodworking. Agriculture II is also another of the many classes involved in a four year course. It involves shop work, record keeping, agriculture projects, and the study of com. French II is the final year of French. It is more advanced than the first year class. Some basic areas are shop, grains, fertilizers, chemicals, and agriculture law. Agriculture IV is the final and most advanced year of agriculture. Engine and maintenance theories are taught, along with shop, the future's market, and genetics. Office practice is for those who have chosen a secretarial position. Each student has three or four bosses to work under. Shorthand is also taught. Bookkeeping is a class open to Juniors and Seniors. It teaches the ways to fill out tax forms, balance sheets, and how to use the cash register. World History is taught to Juniors. They learn the history of the seven continents, as well as geographical areas. American History is taught through a series of lectures and film strips, and must pass the constitution test. In Civics the students took a census of Manlius. Civics deals generally with government and American problems. This year's band consisted of quite a few students. Band participated in many parades, as well as playing at football and basketball games. The chorus was not exactly large. The lower voices were in a ratio of 1:2 to the higher voices, but the problem was overcome. P.E. is taught on all grade levels. In high school, both boy's and girl's were separate. Next year, however, P.E. classes will be co-ed. But remember, none of these classes would be possible without the work of the teachers. Classes COHt. School (skoal), n.

Since the 1957-1958 school year we have successfully competed with the much larger schools (275— 300 students) with an average enrollment of 115. During that time we have won four football titles and tied once in basketball. Traveling distance was the main factor in changing to the new 10-team conference. Goodbye to the Toulon Trojans, the Dunlap Eagles, Wyoming Indians, Wethersfield Flying Geese, Princeville Princes, and the Elmwood Trojans. Walnut, Western and Bradford will also go into the new conference. Most of the others will re-form a new Blackhawk fuither to the south. We originally voted to remain in the Blackhawk, but when Walnut and Western moved, so did we. Nineteen years have been a good relationship and we are nostalgic-goodbye, Blackhawk.

FOOTBALL, in 1975 ended with a three-win, six-loss record, with all the wins coming in the first three games. Princevi 11 won the conference, advancing to the state playoffs at Normal and placing high in the standings of the Class A field. Football, being traditionally the main sport at Manlius, had its ups and downs, probably coinciding with the shape of a 11-conference halfback Mike Wirth's knee, which became noticeably worse around mid-season. Coach Bourquin, who has an outstanding won-loss record, had the team fired up and well disciplined but lack of speed was felt throughout the season. Returning lettermen were all-conference Jeff Poling, Mike Wiith, Greg Whitmer, John Andrews, Rod Johnson, Steve Carre 11, Jim Haip, Rod Sugars, A1 Jensen, Rick Hensel, and Robin Hewitt. The Frosh-Soph team, coached by Joe Ricci, had two wins and four losses. Words like fire up, big red, and go, team, go, echoed across the field, while the noise and skits emanating from the gym pep assemblies typified our usual apprehension for our great team . Heroes were made each game and the Saturday morning quarterbacks rehashed the turning point of each game. Some fans used foul language, many stood at the wire so they could move around, some huddled under their blankets on the bleachers, and some found it a nice place to catch up on the latest gossip, and be seen. But whatever the reason, we all enjoy our football at Manlius High School, the home of the big red . And the boys who graduated this year, and the fans who are loyal, and the fans who like a winner, and the people in our small community who find innumerable reasons to be here, we will all feel the twinge of excitement when another year rolls around and we can anticipate with with the team the thrill of a victory. 'it matters not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game. The cheerleaders did a lot this year to promote the spirit of M.H.S. Both squads attended summer camp at I. S.U. Here they learned many new chants and motions which they used throughout the season. Homecoming was a big event for the cheerleaders. As a different twist, the girls held contests every noon hour. At the pep session Thursday night, the girls presented a cake to Coach Bourquin in appreciation for everything he's done. The cheerleaders also held a pizza party for the team after the last football game. Everyone worked hard to decorate for the annual football banquet in the cafeteria. The theme was We're SCQ'JT-imental about our Devils , displayed by colorful skunks and flowers. During Basketball season the spirit stick was introduced to the fans. Grades 8-12 participated in various yelling contests which really boosted the players. The theme of the basketball banquet was Nothin' PHONEY about the Devils . The decorations consisted of old and new telephones and catchy sayings all around. A big thanks goes to Miss Langellier for sponsoring the cheerleaders this 75-76 year. Junior Varsity: LEFT TO RIGHT—La Donna Wirth, Sophomore, Peggy Martin, Jill Andrews, Rhonda Rudiger, Freshmen, Debbie Morgan, Sophomore. Basketball ’75- ’76 62 the PLAYERS BASKETBALL, '75-’76 in terms of win-loss was probably not a successful year, but we practiced, played and travelled just as much as any other team. We played our hearts out and tried our best. What more can be asked of any team? Coach Gary Burton, back as head coach after a layoff between two previous years of coaching at MHS had a successful year in terms of team rapport. With five wins and eighteen losses, Bo 11man Memorial Fieldhouse was the scene of many exciting games. We seemed to play well against good teams. Against the fourth-place in the state Western, we were very close at halftime. Coach Burton felt satisfied with the teams performance and felt they put out 100%. The frosh-soph, coached by Mr. Ken Bourquin, ended the season with twelve wins and thirteen losses. The starting five were usually Bill Hensel, Cory Hartz, Ted Miller, Tim Miller, and Greg Polte. Said Mr. Bourquin, this team ended the season quite strong and has a bright future. At the varsity level, 6'4 Audie Rudiger was accorded second string a 11-conference. To he and the other hard-working team members, we say ' thank you. 64 VARSITY—(L TO R)—KNEELING—Steve Carrell, Randy Lootens, Rodney Johnson, Greg Polte, Bemie Benavidez. 2ND ROW—Coach Burton, John Sale, Greg Whitmer, Bill Hensel, Audie Rudiger, Rick Hensel, Ted Miller, Robbie Hewitt, Jim Harp.

After battling knee injuries all year, he aimed for one thing—the big one. The Class A meet at Charleston. In the district, he was almost eliminated from his specialty when he knocked down a hurdle, but managed a 2nd place, later beating the first place winner. Mike's times at district were 14.9 in the 120 yd. high hurdles for 2nd place, and 39.8 in the 330 yd. low hurdles for 1st. At the state, he ran a 14.9 in the highs for 2nd place and 39.6 in the lows for 7th place. A school record was also established this year in the 2 mile relay, the first year it has been run, The record is 9:10 and was set by Rodney Sugars, Audie Rudiger, Ron Lootens, and Robin Hewitt. 6 1976 TRACK TEAM: FRONT, L.

As you will note from this series of pictures, there are many aspects to a season—loafing, getting ready, practicing, all leading up to the race. The strain and tension are shown above with the passing of the baton between Steve Carroll and Greg Whit-mer. FAR RIGHT, MIDDLE, shows Audie Rudiger in a photo finish. Art Hartz, RIGHT, is waiting, and Jim Harp, BELOW, is shown at the height of his training day. Other happenings during this track season include Rick Hensel's fourth place in the shot put at the final Blackhawk meet and the teams second place tie in the Bureau Valley Conference meet with Lamoille, behind Tampico's first place finish.

But when you're on the floor and it's game night, no matter how hard you try and how many times it has been perfect, the only time it really counts is that one time when it has to be perfect. So many times, I think back, it had to be perfect. Some times it was, sometimes it wasn't, but then that is a team. A team of people With people there are mistakes. A team of people working, striving, for the ultimate goal. Perfection. With the loss of senior player Kathy Polte due to a broken collar bone, for a couple of weeks things fell apart. Injuries plagued the season. However, we feel that success cannot be measured in wins and losses only how you play the game. Viva Polte was voted most valuable player, an award everyone knows she deserves. A special thanks goes to Coach Hunter, without whom we would have slept past 5:30 in the morning and who also put a lot of guts into a lot of people.

The trials and tribulations caused many to falter or drop out, but the stout-hearted remained. 75 78 earns SEATED (L TO R): Duane Wilson; Neil Monson; Chris Peterson; Mr. Lane, Adv.; SECOND ROW: Paul McMahon; Kim Sanden; Alan Jensen; John Andrews; Rod Johnson; THIRD ROW: Russel Monson; Tim Thompson; Robin Hewitt; Mark Donahue; Roger Craine; Randy Lootens; Kevin Schisler; Bill Hensel; FOURTH ROW: Connie Chesser; Steve Carrell; Marty Roush; Rick Hensel; Tim Donahue; Cory Hartz; Kevin Wilson.

Pres. 87 This year we had a new band director with a lot of enthusiasm, Mr. Roger Partridge. A new chapter to band life was added during marching season. Marching drills were learned and the band traveled with class. Football and half-time shows were unique and the Christmas parade was done in style. The Christmas concert followed the parade just as Mr. Partridge followed his piano across the gym. An interesting item was that Jazz Band practice was at 7:00 in the morning and they played The Stripper at basketball games! The picture in the above left shows the people who played at the IMEA festival; Chris Peterson in the Orchestra, and Sherie Powers, Kathy Polte, and Kevin Schisler, in the District Band. Two more concerts were given to end the year: the spring concert and the outdoor concert for the Manlius Bicentennial Celebration. The year was enjoyed by all, with many funny and even disappointing experiences to remember about our first year with Mr. Partridge. 88 FRONT ROW_______LEFT TO RIGHT — Chris Peterson, Linette Rombout, Lenore Lebahn, Karla Stenros, Sherie Powers, Viva Polte, Jeanine Bourquin, Rhonda Rudiger, Lori Jacobson, Marcia Michlig, Julie Wirth, Judy Bour-quin. 3RD ROW — Cindy Poling, Doreen Wiggim, Renee Johnson, Jill Andrews, Mary Ericson, Marie Rombouts, Charles Hansen, Kevin Kelly, Dean Craine, Barbie Raabe, Pat DeBrock, Rod Polte, Diane McMahon, Tanya Peterson, Tracy Miller, 4TH ROW — Deb DeBrock, Patricia Oloffson, Greg Oloffson, Glen Ericson, Roger Craine, Kevin Schisler, John Sale, Art Hartz, Mitch Doty, Chris Jacobson, Fred Lebahn, Maynard Thompkins, Kathy Polte, Doug Plata Jeff Petercon, Leslie Anderson, 4TH ROW — Director Roger Partridge, Sheryl Edlefson, Sherie Vance, LaDonna Wirth, Greg Polte, Tom Sale, Laeth Neahing, Kenneth Rasmussen, Ron DeBrock, Randy Rasmussen.

Everyone was nervous of course, but we all managed to keep our cool as we casually walked down the aisle. Music was played by the band. Pastor Strolberg gave the invocation and the benediction. Addresses were given by Valedictorian, Jeff Poling and Salutatorian, John An-drews. Kathy Polu , delivered a commencement address. Awards were presented as follows: V.F.W. Award, Audie Rudiger; American Legion Awards, Jeff Poling and Jackie Benavidez; Class Service Award, Sharon Powers; American Legion Auxiliary Scholarship, Sharon Powers; Kenneth Smith Scholarship, Sharon Powers; Woman's Club, Kathy Polte; Wirth Memorial, Mike Wirth. Then the graduating class was presented to Board President, Harold Craine and Board Member Robert Rudiger who presented the members of the class with their diplomas. And before we knew it, the whole thing was over. We were graduates! Kinda hard to believe, isn't it? Sunc n N % Time passes And suddenly you find That you're no longer a child.

I, Chris Peterson, being of liquid mind and body, do hereby will my cautious basket ball-playing ability to Viva Polte — may she never get bench splinters from fouling out! To Connie Chesser ( Chester ), I leave the Planters Peanuts she can eat, the Sheffield cop, and my ability to MAKE a party. (May she rest in Peace.) To Uta Anderson, I leave the girls from Annawan and one towel to dry off with when she visits their fair town. I, Jeff Poling do hereby will to Ricky Hensel the privilege and duty of taking care of the shot and discus at track meets, and for the locker room, I leave the what is left of my best snapping towel. I, Kathy Prolte , being of three broken collarbones to date, (but who's counting?) and three term papers (again, who's counting?) do hereby will to Linette Rombout, three used term papers I have no need for anymore; and a position 107 on the 76-77 girls basketball team on the condition that you practice daily at not breaking collarbones. I, Sharon Powers, being of sound mind and body, do hereby bequeath to Jeanine Bourquin one slightly used pair of red tights (for forgetful people), all the flute music I can play perfectly (very little), her own box of cups (she'll have to supply the water), a towel (to dry herself off with after she opens her locker), and one hot bath (whenever her hot water heater breaks down. ) I would also like to will Janet Doubler one Thrill and Fill Rabbit (for rainy evenings), and her very own Gene The year is 1981. Who would have thought we would have made it this far? We were the smallest class in the school. (Especially on Senior Skip Day!) No one really appreciated our tiny force of 21. We were the class that invented the YOMP! And what would you do if you had a grudge against a teacher? Thanx to our class there is now a place to go to get revenge for the detention or the extra assignment or the humiliation that a student suffers throughout a school year. This form of revenge, instigated by the great class of '76, is commonly known as 'taking out a contract. For a slight fee, JOHN ANDREWS, one of the leaders of the notorious 'Ag Boys', will leave a small green piece of paper on the desk of a teacher to warn them that the 'Ag Boys' are gonna get 'em. Yeah, the 'Ag Boys' were pretty powerful — now, John has gone on to teach other kids how to Minstrel (to take with her wherever she goes). I, Karen Roush, being of sound mind and body, will to Karla Oloff-son, a roll of toilet paper, a penny bank, and a case of green gum for the 76-77 school year. I, Audie Rudiger, being of sound mind and body, will to Rodney Sugars one years supply of spot remover, for those white spots on his pants, and the ability to sense when Mr. Bourquin is coming out to make us mn. I, Karla Stenros do hereby will SENIOR PROPHECY put out contracts and how to effectively YOMP. In between there somewhere he's also teaching Ag classes. I guess the U. of I. taught him more than how to increase his fishing skills. John always went fishing at Hickory Grove with MIKE WIRTH. The F.F.A. will never fo’iget taking trips to his father's place and trying to keep up with Mike while he did what he was best known for — running. Rumor has it that he practiced the hurdles over tree stumps. He always was quick. He's married now. Mike was one of the better Ag Boys — better at not getting caught. Have you been to the JENSEN-Thompson Sporting Goods Store lately? I hear Al's doing pretty good. He ought to — he gets 100% profit! He makes deliveries in a brand new, 1976, Limited Edition, Grain Truck. Now that's class! When Al's supply runs short, like when they start locking the locker room, he lends his grain Kathy Mueller my ability to get to Office Practice on time and working down in the Cafeteria. I, Kris Teske, being of sound mind and body, will Deb Neahring, one flat tire on a rainy night, along with the piece of railroad track. And when she's in the kitchen — another helping hand — so she doesn't have to do any cooking. 1, Duane Wilson, being of sound mind and body, will James Kirkpatrick many logical reasons for going to Princeton every weekend, and to Ag III, Mr. Lane, the shop, and its many obstacles, tools, etc., for further destruction of projects. truck to JABBER. Rodney is the first of Raymond Johnson's daughters to ever make it good at Manlius Grain and Supply. The only reason that he never made it good at his Dad's farm was because he kept sneaking out to go bowling with WORM WILSON. It's been rumored that Duane now keeps his gun cabinet at Crown Lanes. If Worm wasn't so accident prone he'd still be farming today. After all his wrecks, he's had to settle for being Jabber's agent for his pro-Bowling league. I've heard that Duane is going for his bicycle license, though. After his last wreck, he went to NURSE FOSTER for help. She didn't do much good because she could never get the alcohol past her mouth to pour on his cuts! We hated to see Kelly leave the Hen House to start nursing, but KRIS TESKE is still there. She can't work as much now because she's taking courses at Sauk College. (I didn't know they taught you how to properly ride 108 around Sheffield.) Of course, her favorite town was always Princeton. She used to go to a lot of weddings over there. I guess she's staying with SHERIE POWERS now. Sherie took secretarial courses at Sauk. Maybe she'll work in the MHS office, they need someone like her there. Sherie was the kind of a person who could drive the B.S. Love Counselor out of his mind. She wasn't the only one like that, though. I remember a person in our class who was exactly the opposite of Sherie, but could do the same thing to the love counselor. That was KATHY POLTE, better known as Prolte .or Poltz. If you ever saw Prolte walking down the hall you could talk to her for 5 minutes before she realized you were there, male or female! She'd be playing one-on-one basketball with Wilt Chamberlain, or one of the Robinsons or she'd be mentally running the 880 and just not realize that you were talking to her! We always knew that Kathy would go to the Olympics, but we just couldn't decide for which sport. Another athlete in our class was ROBBIE HEWITT. He was always remembered for being captain of the Basketball Bench Squad. You know, if Rob tries at Sauk as hard as he did in Princeton, he shouldn't have any trouble with Ag Mechanics. He was never alone in Princeton, though. DIANE MCMAHON was over there frequently, too. I don't know what her attraction was — must have been the courthouse, because she's a lawyer now. I remember when she first started to defend people. It was when some unknown person made too much popcorn one night at the Senior Stand. Her last case was one for JACKIE BENAVIDEZ. Jackie got caught stealing bedpans from the Rockford School of Nursing. (You tell Me what some- one would do with 2,OCX) bedpans!) Another of Diane's cases was KARLA STENROS. It seems that was caught skipping school one day. She was found guilty even though she claimed it was Senior Skip Day. There were three other people with her — KAREN ROUSH was one. She's got her own portable beauty shop now. It's a white Mach 1 with Ron in the back holding down the curlers. The only thing I remember about Karen is Ron, of course, that's all she ever talked about, too. Another member of the Fearsome Four was CINDY BURGESS. For all I know, she's still eating lunch in the Biology Lab! Cindy was another quick one, a real track star. Now she does all her running for Bob. Speaking of running, I've never seen anyone run the FFA the way ROGER CRAINE did. He may not have an iron hand but he sure swung a mean gavel. I wonder if he will run for school board . . . AUDIE RUDIGER'S on the School board. He did so well as student council president, that they asked him to be on the board after he finished at Bradley. He flies down after work in Chicago at the Kory offices and makes the school board buy basketball shoes with Right and Left printed on them. He always was rather ingenious. That's the type of shoe that JEFF POLING needed. The only thing he could ever remember was Cecelia and math. Jeff was the brain of our class. Anyone that can go to ISU as a math major must know about more than love, but we wondered at times. Jeff and I had our own little war through high school. As our last names both begin with a P , our lockers were always located next to each other. This meant that every time Romeo switched girl friends, there was a new body there to lounge against my locker talking to Jeff. Ever tried to fight your way past a new girl each week to get a book? NEIL MONSON had the locker on the other side of me. He was always trying to find his history book to study for his Constitution test. Neil's biggest ambition in life was to babysit for Karla. He may never be rich at a job like that, but he gets all die food he can eat! Actually, LES NEAHRINC had the locker closest to mine but he came so seldom that he had to introduce himself to Mr. Sale everytime he came back! Les was one of the few kids in our class that learned to make a party. I've Learned to make a party out of my work. I have my own horse farm with every breed of horse there is. Out back is a motorcycle trail and right next door is a sound-proof music room. That was our class. All 21. Being small, we had to try twice as hard to keep ahead. The Bi-centennial year. Memories flow like the cafeteria ketchup. Our Senior year — a year to remember a year that lasts forever and a year that is almost over. Chris Peterson 109 Thursday, June 3, fifteen Seniors left Manlius for OHare Airport. After receiving tickets and getting luggage checked in, they left on a Southern jet for New Orleans, Louisiana. Arriving in New Orleans at approximately 9:00 A. M., Miss Swanlund and Mr. Ricci took the driver's positions of two station wagons. The group of seventeen arrived at the Sheraton Hotel and checked into their rooms, followed by tennis playing and swimming. That was followed by dinner at a seafood restaurant, where each person ordered as they wished — turtle soup, shrimp, lobster, fish, a seafood mixture, and chicken ?). They returned to the hotel and used the rest of the time as they wished. They later ventured on to Bourbon Street. The girls went to Preservation Hall, where six men played the jazz of yesteryear, rode a donkey-drawn carriage, obtained a watermelon (for the next days breakfast) and looked in different stores. The boys roamed the streets, looked in different stores, found out what Bourbon Street was like. The class left with pictures of some of the members of the class dressed in old costumes, such as Union and Confederate Uniforms, hoop skirts, and frilly dresses, to take home as souvenirs. Friday, everyone gradually awoke and used their time eating breakfast, swimming, taking advantage of the sauna, playing tennis, watching TV, and taking naps. Later that day, the members of the class went to tour the Superdome. There was no field set up, in view of the fact they were setting up for a circus. Saturday, after a watermelon breakfast, a morning swim, or just plain packing, they left for Biloxi, Mississippi. After arriving in Biloxi, and taking a mini-bus to the Sheraton, each member unpacked what they wanted and progressed to find out what Biloxi was made of. Most people went to the beach and ventured into the Gulf of Mexico. The rest of the day was left up to each member. Sunday was again left open to let each person do as he or she wished. Kathy Polte, Diane McMahon, and Chris Peterson went to witness the Blessing of the Fleets, for which all the ships had been decorated. That evening many of the class members went to the beach, where they made a sandwoman, a large sand-castle, and played frisbee. This is where Neil Monson cut his foot. (The fourth casualty after John Andrews scraped his nose on the pool bottom, Kathy Polte broke her toe, and A1 Jensen obtained heat rash. ) Jeff Poling and Les Neahring were assigned to carry Neil back to the hotel (three blocks away), where Neil was confined to quarters. Mondy afternoon, everyone, excluding the injured Neil, went for a tour on a shrimp boat. On the boat they had a tour of the coast and were shown how to net fish, such as shrimp, swordfish, and halibut. Returning to the hotel, each person could again find what he wished to do. That evening ended (3:00 A. M. ) with shaving cream showers, early morning swims, and other surprises. Tuesday, everyone began to ready themselves for the trip back to Manlius. After some last minute shopping, swimming, sailing, and other activities, they left for the airport, where they awaited (with fewer cool heads than begun with) the flight home. Arriving at OHare, all present — John Andrews, Jackie Benavidez, Roger Craine, Robin Hewitt, A1 Jensen, Diane McMahon, Neil Monson, Les Neahring, Chris Peterson, Jeff Poling, Kathy Polte, Sharon Powers, Mr. Joe Ricci, Audie Rudiger, Miss Mary Swanlund, Kris Teske, and Duane Wilson — were greeted by Virgil and Pam Bartman. After half an hour in Chicago (they got lost) the group of seventeen finally returned to Manlius, Illinois at approximately 1:30 A. M. , happy to be home, sad the trip was over, and very exhausted. (Written by Sherri Powers) HO Seniors Zour New Orleans, Milord After two years of struggle, the class of '77 finally became upper classmen. Our junior year was marked with many special events. For Homecoming, our attendants were Karla Oloffson and Steve Car-rell. The theme of our float was The Impossible Dream . We also sponsored the coat at the Field house during basketball season. For the more athletic juniors there was Donkey Basketball on March 30. This was our biggest money-making project of the year. It turned out to be quite amusing as donkeys stopped short, wouldn't move, and took off running with their fearless riders. The Junior class made about $300.00 on Donkey Basketball. Next came the International Supper featuring: tacos and chili from Mexico; fish and chips from England; and spaghetti from Italy. Spring arrived and with it came the Junior Senior Prom. For the '76 prom, the theme was Stairway to Heaven . For attendants, Jeanine Bourquin and Kevin Schisler were selected. Prom was held at Emerald Hills in Sterling and lasted until two A.M. Couples danced to the Rock 'n' Roll Boogie Band and after dancing they could bowl, play pool, and watch the movie. For all who attended Prom, it was a memorable event. As the year came to a close, Juniors said farewell to Seniors and looked forward to their final year at M. H. S. IJuniors Officers: FRONT Karla Oloffson, SEC, L. TO R. Viva Polte, pres.

It was a year of laughing our heads off at the inexperienced freshmen, who, in a frenzy, asked, Where do I go for a detention? and then feeling our smiles fade as we remember that only one year ago we had wondered the same thing— only we weren't bold enough to ask! Sophomores can get sassy at times, but one must remember that a sophomore experiences a lot of pressures and mental strain each day such as: taking the GATB test and finding out that you don't excel in much of anything, so in years to come you will probably have to seek unemployment, or .. .driving with Mr. Ricci and finding out you weren't the superb driver you thought you were, or... learning to calculate the speed of sound in air, in Sophomore Sci- ence, and proving in Geometry, why Triangle A isn't congruent to Triangle B, ... and then confusing the two. Despite these handicaps, our Sophomore year was a good one: We selected Mandy Martin and Bill Hensel as Homecoming attendants to nobly represent our class and our float, The Devil Sting placed first. We also learned the value of money. We had a bakesale during the Holiday Basketball Tournament in which we earned approximately $40.00. February 7 we provided entertainment for M.H.S. by having a band dance featuring The John Moore Band. Being a Sophomore is hard at times, because just when you think you're not a novice any longer, you find out you're no graduate either! So you climb back onto the ladder and hang on tight, hoping to someday reach the top.

After getting our schedules and finding our rooms we decided high school wouldn't be so bad after all. The first memorable event was Homecoming. We decided our attendants would be Lori Jacobson and Art Hartz. We received a second on our float. Then in the middle of the year we had a spaghetti supper, which turned out really good. Latter in the year we also sponsored a car wash. freshmen Leslye Anderson Timothy Anderson Jill Andrews Joe Bartman Bemie Benavidez Carman Burall Ronald De Brock Mary Erickson Arthur Hartz Cory Hartz Lisa Jacobson Lori Jacobson Renee Johnson Sylvia Lowder Peggy Martin Paul McMahon Ted Miller Russell Monson Robert Mueller David Nelson Tonia Peterson Gregory Polte Marie Rombouts Rhonda Rudiger Tom Sale Kim Sanden Timothy Sugars Lloyd Tompkins Sherry Vance Kevin Wilson Chris Wise Charles Fox Mark Lee Ronnie Lee Tracy Miller Vicki Sisson 116 117 Eighth Qrade X Tom Linder Ann Rae Lough Marcia Michlig Coleen Miller Laeth Neahring Dean Craine Debra DeBrock Charles Hansen Chris Jacobson Kevin Kelly Fred Lebahn Pat DeBrock Mitchel Doty Kelli Eilers Glen Erickson James Fuhr David Graham 118 Eighth (grade Z Douglas Platz Rodney Polte Julie Powers Barbara Raabe Kenneth Rasmussen Toby Sanden Laurie Sugars Kathryn Thompson Maynard Thompkins Kelli Ann Tracy Kimberly Van Meter Charlie White Mathew Williams Mulia Wirth lisa Wright 119 I, WES ANDERSON, will to Vic Morgan a pet worm and to Symba my ability not to run into fire hydrants.

Out of nine games, the girls won seven with their strong zone defense. In the tournament games the girls learned man to man defense, in which they won First Place against Wyanet, 27-18.

They boys worked very hard, and their super attitude really helped them to a very success il season. A great many of the boys are going to basketball camp this year.

Exchange St. THE FIRST 200 YEARS A knowledge of American history is an invitation to experience the accomplishment, drama, tragedy and hope of an infant nation struggling to grow up. Sturdy, determined pioneers hacked away at the edges of a raw continent and, with blunders and achievements alike, modeled a country with a spirited nature and a united commitment to individual liberty for every one of its citizens. Americans, great and not so great, have given us a heritage to carry on and improve upon. Farmers and soldiers, industrialists and merchants, dreamers and leaders, are all there in two centuries of progress. But the maturing isn't finished. You'll find the boundaries of growth as endless today as when our forefathers first envisioned them. You can seek out your own destiny with the wisdom and judgement which comes with re-creation of the past. Your knowledge, dreams and industry will carry on through many more centuries of living history. In 00NG RESS, Jvly 4, jy . fic urtartt monS erfaratton � . � States of Xirtmca, - . A---- lyX.M.

The first blood of the American Revolution was spilled during one such incident at Boston in 1770. Several Amerkans lost their lives over a snowball thrown at a British sentry. In the fight to achieve commerce equality, the United States found itself in a naval war over shipping lanes. Fort McHenry was henocallv held during a British naval bombardment, and the stars and stripes still flew after a night of hard fighting The next morning Francis Scott Key penned the immortal words of what would become the national anthem Settlers had to have permanent access to the new lands, so canals and bridges were built to carry stages and wagon trams loaded with machinery destined for settlements in the West The pioneers foresaw great wealth in the cheap acreage that was available Frontiersmen cleared the wilderness, built settlements and drove back the Indians. The Pony Express and the telegraph became primary means of communication. Agriculture was the wealth of the country. American inventions of the time were often related to working the soil. The McCormick Reaper, mowing machines textile looms and the cotton gin were instrumental in the settling of new frontiers. In 1848, james Marshall found gold in the rate of a sawmill he was building for John Sutter at Coloma. California. The lust to' get rich quick wa the force behind this biggest and gaudiest gold rush ever While ‘gold rush fever gripped the country, states were increasingly more divided on the slavery i% ue Civil war bioke out in the East. This Brothers War” was bitterly fought and. though ihe scars remain even today, slavery was abolished. Cities grew at an alarming pace, often without icgard to the limits of safety The great Chicago fire of 1871 burned the bustling cattle market empire beyond recognition. But the pioneer spirit was not broken. Chicagoans began rebuilding and preparations were underway to celebrate the 100th birthday of the country The Iron Horse, carrying homesteaders greatly helped settlement of the new country The first transcontinental railroad connected the country at Promontory Summit. Utah on May 10. 1869. Tran port !ion setting the pattern for the American way of life The country became a mobile society with electric trolley - automobile farm machinery, and bicycle , all the rage Along with the acce ibil� ty of travel came a new era of nationalism. A World War called upon the nation' young men to unite and fight After the war � n Europe, the nation pulled itself together and industry flourished once again. A carefree America buried war memonr m the new moving pictures, telephones, light bulbs, electric generators, stock market ticker tape machine , phono-graphs and a wealth of inventions from the fertile mind of its young inventor Baseball became the national sport and prohibition was law Black Thursday. October 24. 1929. saw the American stock market crash to the lowest level in history. Panic set in as the unemployment level skyrocketed The country was in its worst economic crisis. Slowly but surely the wounds of the crash, the dust bowl. and poverty healed. •v JURATION! ♦s CRATIONI STAMP NG. STAM 0.1 gMfcr.ai.l £P8p..36J JKL- ATION| RATIONI STAMP HO.

Americans once again waded into a new frontier. The energy crisis and ecology were prominent words in the language Ways to save nature from the neglect of mankind and ways of preserving precious fuel without damaging that balance of nature were the objectives of Americans across the country.

THE CHANGING NATION HAWAII (50th state) Admitted to the Union m 1959 ALASKA (49th slate) Admitted to the Union in 1959 Ownership of land had been just a dream to most of the colonists from feudal England. With the great expanse of cheap land opening up in the West, the dream became reality. The Louisiana Purchase of 1803 opened the first sizable frontier in the Midwest, but the nation was not ready for it yet. It took a growing market in the East, where land was getting high-priced and scarce, and development of good transportation, to really start the frontier movement The Gold Rush caused hordes of settlers to take various routes to the Pacific Coast and its yellow riches. The railroads brought farmers and ranchers, along with the miners, who decided to stop all along the routes and build their homes. Railroads were instrumental in the quick civilization of the West, bringing people in numbers so large that the resentful Indians were finally pushed back into unwanted and infertile areas. America became a haven for immigrants from every nation as freedom beckoned them to the teeming cities of the East, the plains, and the rich west coast farmlands. Sick of the Civil War and with their own lands divided up and lost, many Southerners set out to begin again in the virgin territories. Westering soon became the national tradition as North and South moved together toward a new life. Americanism was advanced socially, by the hard-working, bare-fisted types who settled the frontiers.

With trade goods cut to a minimum, determined young leaders of the time set out to find ways of surviving without support from the Mother Country. Agricultural methods and machines and labor saving devices were designed by our forefathers. As frontiers opened, Yankee genius had to conquer natural barriers in the wild new country, so suspension bridges were invented and methods of transportation were perfected for the purpose of opening the untamed areas. Later, they sought to section off the land with the revolutionary and controversial invention — barbed wire. Cooper's 1-horsepower Tom Thumb train in 1830 and later, automobiles like the first Model T, and the 4-horsepower airplane ; became American modes of travel from city to city and coast to coast. Americans knew that the fertile lands of this nation would produce unequalled harvests if machines were designed to take over for man. They knew also that trade routes were difficult to travel and manufacturing would have to be done close to home. The cotton gin, textile looms, drill presses and a reaper which could cut six times as much grain as a hand scythe were some of the tools invented. Protection for themselves and for their young country prodded inventors like Eli Whitney to perfect firearms and others to work on plans for the first submarine. Young inventors like Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison (called the nation's most valuable citizen) visualized machines that would light the country and open up communication with those in the far corners of the nation. The telephone, telegraph, phonograph and the first light bulb were discovered in the late 1800's and early twentieth century. This American way of doing for oneself inspired many to become inventors in their own right. Some sought to save labor and mass-produce for profit while others envisioned not only riches, but excitement and adventure as they discovered ways to defy nature. Throughout the past 200 years the American mind has been unleashed to take whatever paths necessary to fulfill the needs. In the last half-century, the pace of discovery has been overwhelming and inventions for the taming of the universe lie in the grasp of America while the habit of finding a way” is ingrained in its people. The seeds of industrial America were sown by these inventors resulting in today's mechanized society. THEY MADE THEIR MARK Men and women who helped shape America's history MORIN CAM 161 i wa a • U - «da tr i N« braved1 rf aaitb duty '« ' ' le di t' bate h« •««� � ho � '•« ’ « To ,fc h« UUbMUd ?tOO IMtoM � ‘“ “'a M 1 chat to • m toam and iwk crttoiMun to � � u !M throng!

Or, even at the higher price of $10. Those are the prices offered to our founding fathers to encourage settlement of the wilderness areas of this nation. A stage wasn t the most comfortable way to go. but you could get from city to city for as little as $3 — at the amazing pace of six miles per hour. Compare today's wages with a 12-hour day in the early 1800 s A man earned 50c a day Of course his dollar bought a little more than today s. Butter in 1820 was about 5C lb. in the Midwest, eggs. 3c doz.. corn oc bu , wheat. 25c bu . and a cow could be bought for $5 With travel becoming the American tradition. you could choose train, wagon, horseback or the water. A canal ride, with bed and board included, averaged 3 or 4c per mile And when you reached your destination. you could sit down to a 5. or even 10 course meal for 25c (Ladies 20c, in consideration of appetite.) Farmers in the early 1800 s could own the famous McCormick Reaper for a mere $100 But the Civil War increased prices as the machine became the first item farmers could buy on time payments for the sum of $1,500 A good suit of clothes then might cost $1.95 and ladies waists (blouses) were marketed for 49c to $3 50 with a whole dress pattern priced at 15c. Cookstoves, quality-satisfaction guaranteed. could cost you $29 25 at $4 per month and a dandy heating stove could set you back as much as $5.73 and up The first electric refrigerator cost $900 — which might be enough to make you faint on your 1907 fainting couch that had cost a mere $7 85 Your new baby travelled in the height of fashion in a wicker sleeping coach (stroller) for the sum of $12.04. If you had $1,500 in 1903 you could show off in one of the first automobiles Ah. those were the days. Some of the current prices are reminiscent of those days, but at frontier prices, which were a whole different story Hardy pioneers had to pay $2 a pound for sugar, too And the same for a pound of coffee or pepper Those items were only 15c per pound back in civilized St. Louis. Flour was marked up 100 times for sale to the frontiersmen and during the famous Gold Rush, that precious commodity went for $400 a barrel E DOLLAR ADAMS PATRvT ilVF.I.Msn Hearn tVftti ||;t « RriMc.tfi . � bo « Bsdnudi irt put iAjf«iher with- ft • r si. a 4 by amm «l ibs Wi JI a a ad M on� , tht S c� iag m fc p aa4 cIm- lf SI Ji! iiAifi ttitN (lie • A� t poM’bls irewbls. «b«.b W l« ftfcl 11 ■ A iboAS (AAii Albs ir.
