7 Where were you on Wednesday, March 10, 1976? Many of the Mighty Mustangs were sitting on the gym floor rocking to the music of ‘Earth Opera,” which was spon- sored by the Science Club and SGA. The students enjoyed such great songs as “Grow Some Funk of Your Own,” by Elton John and “Roller- coaster,” by the Ohio Players. The girls went crazy and the guys got jealous as guitarist Jim Thomas sang ‘‘Stairway to Heaven.”’ To add to the excited atmosphere, Don “Funky” Perry, the leader of the band, removed his funky shoes so he could get into the mood of things. Little did he know that his socks had holes in their toes. It was a Wednesday night that all will remember. 16—Earth Opera

The occasion was a blissful one. All of the enthusiastic, devoted members of Manor High School were present for this prominent af- fair. It was the night designated for our election results and our annual bowl game, our fourth. Anxiety-twisted faces seemed to say ‘well tell us the winners, before we have a nervous breakdown.’ As the night sped on, our forceful foot- ball team provided the entertain- ment, by literally scraping the paint from it’s opponents faces. Finally the moment of the election arrived and tenseness filled the air. The speaker announced the contestants for Mr. and Miss Manor. The winners were Frederic Jones, and Renee’ Vinson. Slight ease swept the crowd. They listened with an- ticipation for the other winners. Miss Sandy Byrd was awarded the Miss Spirit of °76, and Mr. Mark Hudgins was granted the position of Mr. Bicentenial. After the festive sparkling of the halftime activities, the football clubs reentered the field. For In- dian River it was an insufferable defeat, but we had anticipated and sincerely expected for our team to win the game. We won 34-0. Renee’ Vinson is crowned ‘Miss Manor 1975- 76° by Pat King.

Bicentennial Week Brightens Square Manor High School observed our country’s Bicentennial with a week of activities. Located on the square were private collections of colonial crafts brought by students and citizens of our community. Mrs. Virgre Compton demonstrated the colonial art of making corn husk dolls. She let many students try their hand at the art. The results were interesting. In another display, Mrs. Charles Williams preformed the art of quilt making. She brought some lovely Bicentennial quilts to share with the students and faculty. One of the students’ favorite crafts was shared with them by Mr. Bill Moore. He make very popular leather craft articles. He gave us the opportunity to see his quite im- pressive masterpiece, a triangular dre you driving one of these? leather stool.
