NIKOTC Bumps Christmas Assembly What does a Christmas assembly include? At some schools just music, but at Manor, the Mustangs really get into the spirit. Our assembly included perfect pitch music from the Manor Chorus and Band. Decorated baskets of foods to be presented to the Salvation Ar- my. But the main event of the year’s assembly was the showing of our NJROTC drill team. During their demonstration they per- formed expert gun control maneuvers and to top the show, they did ‘“‘The Bump” in unison. WE Ye NJROTC puts some fancy foot work into the show. Blow that horn. From right to left are the first, second, and third place winning baskets. 12—Christmas Assembly

to Successtul Pep-Kallies “One, two, three, four.” Kill!!! Kill!!! Instance replay. Tony Sutton shows his pride. A school needs some very talented, special young ladies, cheerleaders, to get the student body backing needed to have a successful athletic program. When the student body was not behind the girls, the girls supported the team alone. One of the many ways our team got prepared mentally for a game was through pep-rallies. This year’s rallies were rewarding for both the players and cheerleaders. The players did crazy skits, the cheerleaders lead cheer, and the band played music. As proof of their success, the football team lead Manor to its first championship. One of many Mustang victims. Pep-rallies—11

Class of ’76 Wins Again MS , ae Seniors are proud to show they’re No. 1. It was a cold night before Thanksgiving, when the Senior girls won the 2nd Annual Powder Puff game 8-0. The usual kick-off was omitted because the young ladies could not kick the football. To begin the game the Seniors took possession of the ball on their own 20 yard line and kept the ball for the entire quarter. In the last seconds of the Ist quarter, the only touchdown of the game was scored. The conversion was good, making the score at the end of the Ist quarter 8-0. In the 2nd quarter, the Juniors were fired-up for a comeback, but soon felt the wrath of the Seniors led by the brilliant quarterbacking of Yolonda Spann, who was selected the game’s Most Valuable Player. In the second half of the game, the battle con- tinued with the 3rd quarter ending in a draw. In the 4th quarter the Seniors began to tire and the Juniors, taking advantage of the situation, moved the ball close to the Seniors’ 25 yard line. The Senior defense held the line and with only two minutes to go, took possession of the ball keeping it for the remainder of the game. The game ended with the Seniors victorious, with the final score 8-0. The game was fun and vicious, but after it was over the harmony between the classes remained.
