Amidst all of the hubbub of the season, some students were hard at work creating Christmas baskets and filling them with food. Members of the band, orchestra, and chorus were rehearsing for the Christmas Assembly. On Tuesday, December 17, Christmas baskets, filled with canned goods for needy families in the city, were displayed for judg- ing. The music department joined together to render its sentiments on the Christmas season through a musical medium. Homerooms 231, 300, one 322 are found to have the most creative Christmas baskets. Everyone is assembled to hear the Christmas concert of the music department.

Largest Freshman Class Is Introduced to Manor Curious newcomers see Manor for the first time. Mr. McGriff discusses homeroom assignments with students. 10-Orientation In August of 1974, the largest freshman class ever to enter Manor High School was invited to attend an orientation to familiarize themselves with the layout of the building. For those who attended, it was not only an introduction to a new building but an entirely new environment. Of course, the first obstacle which had to be overcome was locating the gym. This proved not to be the task many had feared it would be. After finding a seat, the new students were introduced to Dr. T. M. Cherry, Mr. John McGriff, Mr. Robert Urquhart, and various other administrators. All warmly welcomed the students and offered their assistance should any problems arise. Following the introductions, the students were assigned homerooms and taken on a tour of the building. After walking through seemingly endiess halls of classrooms, the Class of 1978 felt confident as it started a new year on the long road which would lead to graduation. Varsity cheerleaders provide entertainment. Mr. Urquhart explains school rules.

Homecoming Win Over Deep Creek © Ribbons from Homecoming flowers waved in the October breeze. Football players sat in the locker room of Trucker Stadium contemplating the time when they would show their strategic skills to the fans. Candidates for Mr. and Ms. Manor smiled anxiously. Deep Creek fans scattered themselves sparsely through the visitors’ bleachers. The Mighty Marching Mustangs positioned themselves and prepared to play their best. School spirit swarmed through the crowd. Half time arriv- ed. Kelvin Greene was announced as Mr. Manor, and Pat King became the reigning Ms. Manor. The band performed an excellent half time show. All too soon, the game was over. The Mustangs had exterminated the Hornets, 22- 14, and that was the third annual Manor Bowl. | The senior class is represented by Denise Sivertson and her escort, Greg The junior attendant, Delmando King, is escorted by Allison Thomas.
