Festival Night Highlights Foreign Language Week February 12-20 was an exciting week for both foreign language teachers and students. Project, declamation, and bulletin board con- tests, a trip to Washington, D.C., and the Festival Night were some of the activities held that week. The cafeteria served typical French, Spanish, and Latin meals, and the menus were written in each ap- propriate language with translations. The Festival Night, to which all the parents of foreign language students were invited, began with an inter- national buffet. A parade of floats made by the students followed next. The night ended with an assembly program. Beautiful floats, such as this Spanish one, take much time and effort. : a0 —— French students do a dance named ‘Cafe, A mock bull fight is presented by a group of Spanish students.

Talent Show Raises Money and Promotes School Spirit Interested students prac- ticed long and hard in groups and individually for the big audition of the Talent Show. Four members of the faculty served as judges of the different acts performed by the students. The decisions were made with final consultations with choral director, Mrs. Harriet Heath, and Sherelle Cary, supervisor of the Talent Show. Paying a dollar to see the performance, the audience saw a variety of acts. There were dances varying from a modern dance routine with the theme song from the movie “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” to a dance routine seen on “Soul Train’ line. A never before Karate Exhibi- tion was also one of the many acts. There were the usual but talented acts of musical performances of group band players and singers.

Field Trips Prove To Be Fun as Well as Educational Despite high fuel costs, Manor had an extremely successful year in the planning and execution of field trips. The various outings used their own locations for their own pur- poses, but the main attraction for the year seemed to be Washington, D.C. On March 10, all honor roll students for the first semester were invited to participate in a trip to Washington, which was sponsored by Mrs. Cora Mae Fitzgerald. The highlight was the unexpected snow- fall which greeted the travelers just outside of Richmond. Another Washington trip, this time an overnight adventure, took place , on April 20-21. Ms. Ann Lyons and ny 3 her husband, Robert, were combina- tion sponsors and chaperones. Congressman Robert Daniel took time from his busy schedule to welcome the visitors on the steps of the House of Representatives. Enter- tainment was provided by Marcel Marceau at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Although he is internationally revered for his pan- tomime ability, his performance was a new experience for most. On May 2, the Math-Science Club set a precedent by venturing to the seldom heard of Tangier Island. Located between Virginia’s Eastern : L . Shore and the coast, Tangier Island Rep. Daniel explains functions of Congress. Ms. Lyons prepares for the long trip home. is the home of a small, extremely religious town dependent mainly on its crabbing industry. The club members visited the island’s small school and learned that the entire Fire Department consisted of two Volkswagens. All in all, Manor’s students were offered several opportunities to leave the traditional school walls and textbooks for the real world where learning was a firsthand experience.
