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.

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
