Like at the pep session on Thursday when Rick Hensel, Steve Carrell, Rod Sugars, and Greg Whitmer, got to dunk Keven Kelly in the pool of water. There Is more fun and activities to come!

The play was a mystery-comedy in three acts. Lenore Lebahn played Laura, a sweet, unspoiled young lady who showed a vast amount of courage. Jean, played by Viva Polte, was Laura's stepmother. She was a self-centered young woman, who let her money rule her. Debbie Morgan, as Harriet, was the comedy element of the play. She was a very high strung and excitable maid. Darrel, played by Rodney Polte, was crippled, but a man of the mind. Victor, played by Kevin Schisler was a tall, handsome and polished man of the world. Randy Lootens, who played Jack, was Laura's sweetheart and one of those chaps with a readymade smile. Ned, played by Greg Oloffson, was the family lawyer. He was a frank-spoken individual with a good sense of humor. Miriam, played by Doreen Wig-gim, was Ned's secretary who went everywhere with him. Peggy Martin, who played Lela, was a very business like nurse, but very feminine. Joseph, played by Ron DeBrock, was a detective. As the plot unfolded, the audience was held at the edge of their seats, until a very surprise ending. Mrs. Forth directed the play and Janet Doubler student-directed iL Much work went into the play and as everyone could tell, it was well worth the effort. 20 The annual football banquet was held November 23 in the cafeteria with a large crowd present. Varsity letters were awarded as well as minor letters and numerals for the Freshmen. Henry Sale was emcee and Reverend Cain gave the invocation and benediction. A pot luck supper was also served. Most Valuable Player(s) was (or were) awarded to Greg Whitmer and Rodney Sugars. Cheerleader sponsor Donna Med-hurst presented letters at this time, also.

It took place in the study hall and all he freshmen were invited to attend and bring parents. The program consisted of short speeches by various club and organization leaders. Each leader described the events and activities of his club or organization and encouraged freshmen to join. After this, a panel discussion was held. It centered around success in high school. Questions were posed to the club leaders, in the panel, by parents and freshmen. It proved to be an interesting and fun way to start freshmen off on the right foot. 24 Christmas Party The Student Council members were in charge of putting on the Christmas Party this year. Planning began in advance (the day before to be exact). But despite last minute preparations, the council members managed to put on an outstanding show. It began with an introduction by President Kevin Schisler and after a few elephant jokes and some skits by other members, it ended with a passionate love scene, then a cold slap in the face. What violence. INdeed, it was a Christmas Party to be remembered. 25 Sweetheart Prom was held at Western High School on Saturday, February 19th at 8:00 P.M. Couples from Manlius, Tiskilwa, and Western danced to the music of The Other Side. Coronation was held at 10:00 P.M. Second attendants were Linette Rombout and Craig Miller.

Kevin Schisler acknowledged for the Senior Class. Janet Doubler read the senior class prophecy and Jeanine Bour-quin read the senior class wills. The Benediction was given by Kevin Schisler. Pictures of the couples were taken by Laurin Williamson, the school photographer.

Gratefully, David Berry, a neighbor of Lively's, could. The following is his piece of prose titled, Memorial Tribute to Lively Hornbeck. Lively — a perfect name for him. It was rare, yet plain; uneducated, yet discerning and knowledgeable. He was a friend of the earth and its creatures. Now he's gone back to the earth he loved so well. He was a character — one of those too rare a breed of men whose joy is In working outdoors. And doing kind deeds. And being generous. And being a friend to a little boy. He could make the simplest things into a wonder — a newspaper became a kite, a string and stick became a fun noisemaker. A can of snuff seemed always full. A pet raccoon was named Amos. A big shotgun was called his gas pipe. He had no enemies — he was too genuine and humorous to have any. He never yelled at a boy's dog (or a boy) who ran across his yard. Or Garden. And what a garden! Actually two — one for food, and one for flowers. It was always immaculate. Always abundant. Always cared for. But mostly he had time — time to teach a young kid how to hunt, or fish, and know the ways of the animals. Time to pull a radish, wash it, and give it to you as a special treat. Time to play ball off his shed. Time to help a scared, confused, young man — and make him feel better. Time to mow a yard, or shovel a neighbor's sidewalk full of snow. Time to visit. He was a teacher; he taught arts and crafts. He was a weatherman; he could sense a change. He was a railroad man; he loved them. He was a jack of all trades and a master of each. He was a friend; he had time. He was a ... a ... a Lively. And we're better for it Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are you. Lively ...

COMMEMORATIVE TICKET FIRST FOOTBALL GAME PLAYED IN THE NEW INDIAN VALLEY CONFERENCE BETWEEN ATKINSON TIGERS AND MANLIUS RED DEVILS FRIDAY, SEPT. 10, 1976 ADULT - $1.50 STUDENT - .75 Football V____________ 67 Everyone was anxious for football season to begin this year. With the new conference, it was interesting to see how we would rate compared to the other teams. Obviously, the Big Red machine was ready to go. The first couple practices were tough, but it paid off. And the spirit of the team was at an all-time high. With the four senior captains leading, a person could hear the team shouting a mile away. Nobody will forget the game we played against the Western Rams. We won!!! The team suffered their first defeat in the hands of Depue. This game was held in the afternoon. The whole town was ready to beat the Walnut Raiders, but no matter how hard we tried, we just couldn't do it. Then for some unknown reason, we lost the last game of the season to La-Moil le. But despite our defeats, the '76 football season proved to be a victorious one indeed. 68 A 6-3 Record Places Red Devils Fourth In Indian Valley Conference.

At cheering camp at Illinois State University, both squads received several ribbons, plus a SPIRIT STICK! The first for Manlius High!! ! Through the summer months, the girls put in a lot of hard work, and when the school year began, they practiced to get ready for the new conference season. Many new ideas popped up in all forms of cheers, posters and skits. On many downtown stores windows were words like, GO BIG RED . But what really helped was the student co-operation. Everyone participated in backing the football and basketball teams. During homecoming, the cheerleaders sold mums. There were also the usual dress-up days, egg throwing contests, kicking and roly-boly tournaments. A pep rally was held before the bonfire. The cheerleaders decorated for the sports banquets, and sponsored an all-conference band dance on March 19, which cleared $100. Miss Medhurst deserves a big thank you for helping these girls during the year. Girls Basketball Varsity, ABOVE, L. TO R., FRONT: Coach Amy Hunter, Lita Anderson, Manager.

The varsity ended the season with a 3 win, 11 loss record. The Frosh-Soph had a 6-win, 5 loss season. Billi Tracy was regarded as the spark-plug of the team and much determination was shown. This was the third season for girls basketball at MHS, and many regarded it as a building year. 83 BOTTOM L TO R: Deb Neahring, Lisa Jacobson, Trish Oloffson, Kelli Tracy, Lita Anderson, Karla Oloffson, Mapi. TOP L TO R: Miss Amy Hunter, Ann McMahon, Barb Raabe, Billi Tracy, Laurie Sugars, Connie Chesser, Kathy Mueller, and Colleen Miller, Manager. 1976 was the first season MHS has had volleyball. While the boys were practicing football, the girls were practicing volleyball. The first season proved to be successful but yet not a state championship. The A team won 2 matches and the B team won 4. The season was a long one with many ups and downs. The season ended in January (the boys were now in basketball) with our best game of the season. The girsl and Miss Hunter made their best performance of the year. With only 13 games and a season that lasted from Sept, until Jan., the girls improved 100%. The four seniors were Karla Oloffson, Kathy Mueller, Deb Neahring, and Mapi. Most Valuable Player was given to Kathy Muller, and Most Improved Player to Billie Tracy and Ann McMahon. Volleyball will be an interesting sport for Manlius in the year to come. 84 VOLLEYBALL SCORES 1976-77 B A Tampico lost 2-1 lost 2-0 Wyanet won 1-2 lost 2-0 Atkinson won 0-2 lost 2-0 Bradford won 2-0 lost 2-0 Walnut lost 2-1 lost 2-0 Western lost 2-1 lost 2-0 LaMoille lost 2-0 lost 2-1 Annawan won 0-2 won 1-2 Tampico A only lost 2-0 Malden won 0-2 won 0-2 Walnut A only lost 2-1 B Record 4-5 A Record 2-9 85 Girls Track FRONT, L.

Any Soph., Junior, or Senior many join. P.G.O.C. meets once a month with people from different career areas for more information on entering these areas. However, we were unfortunate this year because many of our meetings were cancelled because of early school dismissals and snowstorms. Look at it this way: it sure beats unemployment after high school ! Parlez-vous Francais? French Club consists of those students who have taken, or are currently taking a course in French. Mrs. Bowman, our new advisor this year, helped us organize a banquet in which we invited Monsieur and Madame Jeannenot, two natives of France. At Christmas time, we held another banquet which featured a 7 course French meal!

Ill Senior Prophecy - A Semblance Of Truth Dear Nene, I was really sorry that you could not make it to our twentieth class reunion. I was hoping that we could reminisce about our Monday nights in Princeton. I suppose that since you're head administrator at the Ag-Boys Memorial Hospital, you have to travel a lot. I was really proud to hear that your hospital is located right in Manlius. The town sure has grown. Having such a clinic really put it on the map(and now it's even a suburb of Chicago!) I saw your house up on Rocky Hill. I was impressed. When I visited the hospital, SHERYL EDLEFSON told me that she's the chief surgeon at Ag-Boys Memorial. I was startled to learn that she uses accupuncture instead of anesthetic on her patients. She also told me she likes to do seamstress work on the side. It sounds like she's become pretty good with needles. Sheryl also told me that Cecelia Miller is her assistant nurse. Celia specializes in writing Latin prescriptions in shorthand. All of those classes with Mrs. Behrens and Mr. Burton must have helped. With so many brothers and sisters, it must be easy for VIVA POLTE to work in the maternity ward of Ag-Boys Memorial. I'm sure she won't have any trouble changing the diapers and I hear that she had a basketball court right there on the floor to keep the new mothers in shape. Since your hospital has so many new revelations, I wasn't surprised that one of your star patients was KEVIN SCHISLER, the first member of our class to become President of the United State. (This shouldn't be difficult for him since he was president of so many organizations in high school.) Kevin was in the hospital for a sprained ankle. He told me that he still likes to run hurdles in his spare time and that he tripped over a hurdle and sprained his ankle. Likely story. If I know Kevin, he was probably chasing girls. He's still trying to pick his first lady. I guess he can't decide if she should be from Princeton, Tiskilwa, Western, Bradford or (maybe) Manlius. His private nurse and secretary, LINETTE ROMBOUT was there with him. Kevin told me that he often sends Llnette out to work on foreign aid for him. After being Miss Flame for a year, she's become quite a hot talker. Across the hall from Kevin's room, I found MAPI, in the hospital library. After graduation, Mapi stayed here instead of going back to Peru. She is now an American citizen and the librarian at Ag-Boys Memorial. Mapi told me that she often hears from MARIA MORALES. Maria went back to Mexico after graduation and she now teaches English there. Mapi told me that someday she and Marla are going to open a chain of restaurants called M and M's Delight specializing in enchiladas and refried beans. On my way out of the hospital, I ran into JAME KIRKPATRICK. Jamie has followed in the footsteps of one of our great presidents, Jimmy Carter. He now owns his own peanut farm in Georgia. It's called K-Farms and he also raises pigs there. I was curious to know how Jamie kept his pigs out of the peanut patch. He told me that it's simple. He just puts Olympia beer in their drinking water and after they stagger around for a while they just go to sleep. After talking to Jamie, I decided that I wanted a new outfit for our reunion that evening. I checked out all the stores downtown and I finally ended up in a terrific-looking place called Linny- Lou's . I found that everything in the store was handmade by the owner, Le-nore Lebahn. When I asked Lenore how she first financed her store, she told me that she invented a pill to cure car-sickness and it made her a million. Lenore's cousin, RANDY LOOTENS was there visiting. Randy is now the biggest landownder in Bureau County. Asa matter of fact, he owns the whole county and raises quarter-horses, cattle and collie puppies. Toots told me that on Halloween, he still has a secret passion for sneaking up on unsuspecting pumpkin patches. I guess some people never grow old. When I finally made it to our reunion that evening, I found myself seated next to KATHY MUELLER. Kathy had just flown in from Hol- lywood where she styles hair for Twentieth Century Fox pictures. She says she loves to fit toupees on Burt Reynolds and that the toughest job she ever had was Telly Sa-valas. I asked Kathy about DEBBIE NEAHRING and she showed me a newspaper clipping dated shortly after our graduation. The headline read White Tornado Steals Debbie Neahring Away . No one knows quite where it stole Debbie away to, but rumor has it that she may be living in Walnut. Our reunion dinner was furnished by Whitmer Carrell Acres. It was a huge roasted pig complete with an apple in his mouth. Greg and Steve went into the pig farming business right after graduation. They started out with just two pigs, but you know how things multiply. One section of their farm is fenced off for a football field. They still play in their spare time. Sometimes, RODNEY SUGARS plays with them. He's a professional now. He plays with the Baltimore Colts, but he still finds time to come back and visit his old friends. After dinner, I ran into CRAIG MILLER. He was just leaving to go home and work on his farm. He said that since it's spring he has to keep busy, but he did take time to mention that in the summer he likes to travel and go yachting. He owns his own yacht, called the WIggy . That name sounds familiar, but somehow, I can't remember where I've heard it before. When Craig left, I spotted a studious looking pair in a far corner of the room. As I walked nearer, I saw that it was CONNIE KLIENAU and VICKIE BARTMAN and they seemed to be discussing business. Connie is now the wealthy owner of a chain of stores called Jeans, Etc. . She told me she made her first million by journeying to the farthest jungles of Africa and selling blue jeans to the natives. The worst tribe she ever ran into was a group of South African cannibals. I guess, they really kept her in a stew for a while. Connie was trying to persuade Vickie to do some commercial art for her. Vickie would have readily agreed, except she already does art for another company called Zinko. She told SENIOR PROPHECY (Cont.d. from p. 112) me that most of her commercial art involves a little character called Rusty, who cleans out clogged pipes. She also said that more Zink-0 is sold to the MHS cafeteria than any other place in the world. While I was talking to Vickie and Connie, RICK HENSEL came over. Rick is now the proud owner of Kory Industries. Kory has grown I right along with Manlius and now Rick can afford to take a Caribbean Cruise every year. He also likes to stay active in sports, expecially football. I left the reunion about two hours later, after I'd had a chance to talk to almost everybody. I was really afraid that our class would have grown apart, but, I guess after twelve years together, we'll always have a lot in common. The next morning I had to leave to return to New York. On my way to the airport, I stopped at a little restaurant called Karla's Kove. The name didn't sound familiar until I met the owner, KARLA OLOFF-SON. Karla told me that she started building up her restaurant a few years ago. One of its major attractions is a nightly basketball game right In the dining room. This game features the Harlem Globetrotters against Karla's own team, the Kovaliers. I said I would have liked to stay for the evening game, but I had to be getting back. When I boarded the plane, I heard a familiar voice introducing himself as our pilot, TIM DONAHUE. This surprised me so I had to go see it with my own eyes. Sure enough, when I reached the cock- pit, there was Tim in the pilot's conrols. He told me that he ended up being a pilot because, while in college, he got Interested in building planes and then he learned to fly them. His hobby is collecting World War I antique planes and getting in dog fights with other planes. This knowledge made me nervous, so I returned to my seat. Needless to say, I arrived back in New York safely. Try to come to our next reunion and we'll reminisce, O.K. By the way, NeNe, if you're ever in New York, stop in and see me at the Times. I work in the Feature department and you can usually find me there, (asleep on my typewriter, of course!) Love, Janet Last Wills And Testaments I, Vickie Bartman, being of sound mind and body, do hereby will to Kelli Eilers my ability to walk through cornfields in the middle of the night without a flashlight, and to Joy Lough and Billi Tracy, my new car since I know without a doubt that it will be in safe hands.

Seniors Tour New Orleans, Biloxi 116 Culminating Four Years Of High School The annual Senior Class Trip, this year to New Orleans and Biloxi, was chaperoned by Mr. Joe Ricci, Mrs. Christine Gross, and Mr. Jerry Mathews. More money was earned by this class than any other in MHS history through sales of Tom Wat, the concession stand, pancake breakfast,and the pop and candy machines in the student lounge. After trip expenses, including a paid-for dinner, the class was able to purchase senior graduating pictures,and donated about $600 to the school for selected projects. Only a portion of the trip is shown by the accompanying pictures shown here, but annual staff photographer Sheryl Edlefson said this was the highlight of her trip. The group left Manlius by bus on June 1, at about 1:30 a.m. (Sponsor Ricci overslept, but with help from his friends barely made it.) They left O'Hare Airport at 7:00 aboard Southern Airlines. They arrived at New Orleans International Airport at 10:00 and checked in at the Sheraton Inn and had Free time until evening. They went to Lake Pontchartrain for the evening. The second day (Thursday) featured a morning tour to Cabildo, Pirates Alley, Slave Market, St. Louis Cathedral, Pontabla, Quadroon Ballroom, Napoleon's house, Jackson Square, Dueling Grounds, Haunted House, Little Theatre, Royal Street, and the cemetaries. There was then free time to browse in the French Quarter. In the afternoon, they toured the modern city, including the Garden District, Superdome, Sugar Bowl, Huey Long's Mansion, Tulane and Loyola University. That evening they visited Basin Street, Mariaritie Tomb, Street Car Named Desire, French Market, Preservation hall, Court of Two Sisters, Brennans, Bour-bon Street, and Touloun Street Day three they took a DC-9 to Gulfport and checked in at the Sheraton Biloxi Inn. That evening was ad dinner at Popps. Day four was a free day, and day five, at noon, there was a 1 172 hour cruise aboard the Sailfish. Day Six was the return trip, at 3:00 p.m., arriving at O'Hare at 8:00. The Senior Trip, culminating four years of high school, and for many of us, twelve years with many of the same classmates,is a perfect ending that will be remembered all our lives, and is the point at which our class motto refers, the beginning. 117 The class of 78 fully realizing the Importance of being upperclassmen joined forces with the Seniors in helping beat the boredom throughout the school year. But of course, we cannot forget the responsibilities that are part of being a Junior. We began the year busily preparing for Homecoming watching our attendants for this year, Janelle Peterson and Tim Miller glamourously riding down the street and also rejoicing over the first-place finish of our float, entitled WE'LL CAGE 'EM! Fall came and with it the gathering of manpower to organize the annual International Supper. It proved a big success for our class and satisfied the hunger of waiting customers who experienced such delicacies as Fish 'n' Chips, Tacos, and Spaghetti. Spring soon blossomed and with it came the anticipation of preparing for the Jr.-Sr. Prom. We chose as our attendants, Kathy Kelly and Rich Williams. The dance and dinner proved to be most enlightening, making the evening a total success. But the headaches for the Jr. Class began afterwards as the bills began pouring in. Fortunately, through a few ALMOST successful money-making projects, such as our supper, bake sales, light bulb sales, and the ever-pop-ular Jr. Coat Check, we got through it with a few dollars to spare. We enjoyed being Juniors, but now it's our turn to be the class that everyone looks up to. So look out. MHS, here we come.

Mr. Andresen, our advisor, the grounded us for almost the remainder of the year. Our only other acitivity was a fish supper on May 6 preceding the Spring concert. It was very well attended and hardly anyone noticed that the catfish had turned to turbot. Those of us in the Biology or General Science classes were able to travel one Saturday to Chicago to visit the Field Museum and Shedd Aquarium with Mssr.s Poling and Lane.

Teachers are spread out in various Jr. High and High School activities. With the many extra-curricular activities, including the many curricular activities, many nights are spent for the Manlius school. In a small school there is many activities for few people, and our teachers have met this added responsibility, for which we are grateful. 124 Special Education Teachers MRS.
