Special wii Om JUNIOR YEAR 26—Milton Elliott A Uery MILTON ELLIOTT DIED FEBRUARY 10, 1975 Milton Elliott lived at 504 Roosevelt Boulevard in the Cavalier Manor section of Portsmouth, Virginia. In his three years at Manor High School, he became the friend of various members of his graduating class, the Class of 1976. We all learned to love Milton Elliott. He was, and still is a very special Manor Mustang. All of Milton’s interests were not in his school alone. He was a faithful Christian and attended United House of Prayer for All People. He was a member of Musical State Band, McCullough Alternator Singing Group, and The Shout Band. Even though Milton Elliott has departed, his memories are still in our hearts. The Class of 1976 loves you, Milton.

sentors went to the extreme opposite, for Friday, May 29, was designated Bum Day. The seniors wore all their old, holely, raged clothes that were ready for the trash heap. Moving closer to June 10th, graduation, the seniors presented the underclassmen with an assembly. In the assembly the seniors sang their class song, written by Renee Newby, Kim Williams, and Lynn Waters. Seniors also preformed skits such as the fashion show which represented kiddy world to Prom night, with a special guest appearance of Mickey Mouse, Mickey Moss, and Mini Mouse, Sandy Johnson, and a skit starring S.W.A.T. Also making a starring appearance was Larry Hamilton as ‘Star Child”. The best that the seniors found to ease the tension of graduation was Senior Skip Day. Many seniors ended up at the various beaches surroun- ding the Tidewater area, such beaches as Sandbridge, Virginia Beach, and Chesapeake Beach. The big day was drawing nearer with every heart beat. The next event for the seniors was Baccalaureate, which took place on Sunday, June 6, 1976 at 3:00 p.m. Finally the big day arrived. Thursday, June 10, 1976 at 8:00 p.m. the graduation ceremonie: were just beginning. In a surprising nontensed atmosphere, Thomas Jones opened the services. The seniors did get serious rapidly for a glorious mo- ment when Cindy Byrd paid memory to a loved member of the graduating class who had left them a year ago, Milton Elliott. It quickly returned toa untensed feeling as the senior class gave Charles, Tweety Bird, Harris a standing ovation for finally graduating. It took him seven years to finish high school. Finally the ceremonies were over and the seniors were no longer seniors, but graduates out on the own. But on this night the seniors partied all night in celebration of their accomplishments.

Sandy Johnson Instructor In 1972 Sandy Johnson went out for the JV Cheering squad at her new school, Manor High School. She was chosen for the squad. This made her the only Freshman on the first JV Cheering squad. Sandy enjoyed cheering her first year and became very school spirited. In Sandy’s second year at Manor she was elected captain of the JV Cheering squad. This was a great honor for her. In this year Sandy learned a lot about being a leader. Sandy’s Junior year at Manor was ex- citing for her. She became a Varsity Cheerleader and became acquainted with the activities carried out by the Varsity Cheerleaders, such activities as buying favors for the members of the sports teams, heading spirited pep-rallies, and raising money for uniforms and other needed items. In her Senior year, Sandy was chosen to be the captain of the Varsity Cheering squad. With all this experience, Sandy was advised by her cheering sponsor, Miss Brenda McCoy, to try out for a position on the Golden Eagle East Coast Instructor’s team. To Sandy’s surprise, in mid May, 1976, she received a letter from Golden Eagles saying that she was accepted from 102 applicants to be one of few instructors at the Golden Eagle East Coast Cheering Camp in North Carolina. This was a great honor for a Senior Mustang. spansnanetsrnthae jaro oo Funior. At Golden Eagle Johnson, Sandy—27
