Mustangs Support March of Dimes With “Project Give a Dime” Mrs. June Black, March of Dimes represen- tative, receives check for funds raised at Manor from debate team member Perrie Coulter. Dr. T. M. Cherry and Mr. V. P. Mitchell receive plaque of appreciation from Mr. Charles Wright, regional director of the March of Dimes. While many of Tidewater’s youth were walking in the March of Dimes Walk-a-Thon, Manor’s students, un- der the direction of Mr. V. P. Mitchell and the debate team, took part in “Project Give a Dime.” The objective of the schoolwide project was to familiarize each student with the work of the March of Dimes organization and then hopefully, collect a dime. Contests were held between homerooms on each grade level to determine which four would receive a certificate for exceptional participation. To en- courage student participation, WNHS, Norcom’s student directed radio station, was on hand to con- duct its own radio-thon on the square. As the music vibrated throughout the entire square area, students came forward with their dimes and made this original effort a worthwhile one. etna rs Mrs. Black and Poster Child, Peach Carson, spark everyone’s interest. Mrs. Diane Brown, teacher of senior homeroom winner, accepts a cer- tificate. March of Dimes-27

King Neptune supervised the entire affair with the help of Mrs. Jo Gilbert and Mr. John Thomas, junior class sponsors. Music was provided by ‘“Week- end Affair” featuring Manor’s own Gloria Bagwell.
