COLLEGE BUSINESS MILITARY ) MARRIAGE Onward... Ever Upward describes the Manor philos- ophy, in that our students are constantly striving for higher goals, To some, the graduation from high school is a final step in the educational process, but to most it is but a stepping stone to the future. The elation of graduation passes quickly with the grim reminder that the future awaits. Decisions must be made, plans finalized, and steps must be taken. Today’s society does not readily accept the person with no vi- sions of the future. Manor’s graduating class has climbed tha twelve steps leading to this point in life and are uniquely prepared for the new challenge. The number of steps remaining depends on the individual. Some set their goals higher, but all are aware that new challenges, new experiences, and new responsibilities, require the reach- ing u p, the stepping up to the future. Manor has done its part. The student has been chal- lenged throughout the high school steps and has been proven capable of continuing on. The direction of the next step depends on the goals each individual sets. For some, higher education, for others business, a family, military service, but for all, the greatest teacher, the greatest experience, awaits them on their next level. Reality and life requires each of us to step Onward... Ever Upward. The 1981 SGA and sponser: left to right - Mr. Cash, Jeff Brown, Bridnetta Watson, and Sherri Pittman The SGA is an indispensible, school wide organization which unites the student body, faculty, and staff creating a better Manor High The SGA officers for 1980-81 were President: Sherri Pittman, Vice President: Jeff Brown, Secretary: Marian Tisdom, Treasurer: Mary Lindsay and Publicity Director: Bridnetta Watson. The SGA officers and the members of the executuve board (Cassandra Butts, David Spruill, Beatrice Wilson, Stephanie Wilks, Janet Rathbone, Sandran- ette Moses) and the homeroom representatives met to discuss school problems and school and community projects. The SGA has in every aspect of the word, united the Mustangs and promoted school spirit through various functions. To start of the 180- 81 school year, the SGA sponsored the Homecoming festivities in October by selecting and developing a creative theme—The Wild, Wild West. In order to intiate enthusiasm, the SGA sold Mustang pennants and megaphones to outwardly display the Mustang Pride. Following Homecoming, the SGA began promoting the United Way Drive. It once again proved to be successful at Manor. A grant total of $401.66 was donated by the student body, faculty, and staff, which would be distributed among various health and welfare organizations such as the Red Cross and March of Dimes. Oppertion Santa Claus and the Canned Food Drive were two pro- jects which were appropriately planned for the Christmas season. Operation Santa Claus enabled under privileged children to enjoy a grand party with numerous gifts and an abundance of cake, cookies, candy and other goodies. The Canned Food Drive, which received 100% Participation from the “Mustangs” enabled many needy fam- ilies to have a real Christmas dinner. As an annual event, the Blood Drive was scheduled for the spring. The SGA anticipated the same enthusiasm and cooperation of every- one in making the Blood Drive a traditional success. Vampires take notice! The year ended in June with the election of the 1981-82 officers. Without the guidance and supervision from sponser Mr. Cash, the SGA would not have been able to support and promote the annual events at Manor. Teh SGA officers and staff went beyond what was expected of them in order to keep Manor 1 in pride and spirit! The SGA Executive Advisory Committee. DEDICATION The dedication of the Mustang Year book has become a Manor tradition. The yearbook is dedicated to a person worthy of recognition for their many services to the student body and faculty of Manor High School. We feel this year’s selection is a woman who will long be remem- bered not only for her devotion to Manor but for her quick smile and unusual personality. She has not only exhibited outstanding leader- ship qualities through her teaching but also in sponsering various school organizations. Our selection for the 1981 Mustang is Mrs. Judy Moore. Mrs. Moore, a native of Newport News is a graduate of East Carolina University at Greenville. She holds a BS degree and MA degree in education. : Mrs. Moore is chairman of the History Department for the seventh | consecutive year. She teaches U.S. History and World History. She | was sponser of the Junior Class for two years and was sponsor of the Junior Class for two years and was sponser of the 1981 Senior Class. She worked patiently and willingly with the Senior Class to help make their senior year a memorable one. Mrs. Moore has been a part i of Manor since 1972 and has proven to be an asset to the student | body. Through her many talents, patience, loyalty and encouragement, | the Seniors have been motivated to reach higher and stronger for their goals. As for the underclassmen; they have something to look forward to. Hopefully she will remain the indispensable senior advi- sor. Her class offers the students a chance to express themselves in their own language—and opportunity rarely extended to the younger gen- erations. We thank you for all the time, love and support you have shared with the students at Manor. Therefore, We the Staff of the 1981 Mustang, do hereby dedicate this, the ninth edition, to Mrs. Judy Moore. We wish you all the happiness and good fortune that such an extraordinary person de- serves. einai = te Sa HAPPENINGS The 1980-81 school year was distinguished by many special events. Homecoming 1980 was per- haps the most exciting of our Mustang “Happen- ings.” For the community at large MHS students provided Operation Santa Claus. This was a most rewarding experience for the members of the stu- dent body who participated in it. The nation as a whole also affected MHS by a special “Happening”. The election of Ronald Reagan to the Presidency of the U.S. undoubted- ly will influence our future as it did our 1980 school year and Manor High’s mock Presidential election. First runner up Pam Johnston and escort Joey Futrell. The Mustang Homecoming celebration took place at Church- land Stadium on October 10, 1980. Festivities began with the presen- tation of the Homecoming Court and class attendents. All were dressed in formal attire; the gen- tlemen in white tuxedos and the ladies in long evening gowns. The air was filled with suspense and anticipation as the crowning of the King and Queen drew near. The class attendents were intro- duced and greeted by the cheering crowd. A drum roll from the band accompanied the announcement of Dudley Brooks and Sabrina Moody as the 1980 Homecoming King and Queen. Mr. Mills had the honor of crowning the Queen. Halftime activities also includ- ed an excellent performance from the band on the field and the an- nual Homecoming float parade. Second runner up Ginger Jones and escort Bryan Hester. Sophomore attendents Mark Whitaker and Kathleen Johnson. Freshmen attendents Victor Johnson and Maria Moore. 11 THE WILD WILD WEST Western frontier life marks one of the most exciting yet difficult eras in American history. The settlement of the West represented the dreams of gold-hungry miners and of homesteaders whose hard labor developed the barren plains. Cowboy hats, leather boots, levi jeans and colorful bandanas — that was the decor for life in the west and the Mustang homecoming 1980. The Mustangs presented their inter- pretation of the good ’ole days in the wild west through Art, fashion, and music. The parade of floats displayed the western lifestyle from stagecoaches to sunset showdowns. The 1980 Homecoming would not have been such a great success without the organization, hard work and creativity from the SGA. The advice and supervision given to the SGA by Mr. Cash was un- doubtedly an essential factor in making this Homecoming, Manor’s best ever! Second place float by the Art Club - The Electric Stagecoach. The Senior Class Float - Mustang Gulch received an honorable men- tion. The Chorus achieved a third place ranking for the third consecutive year with their float - Oklahoma. The Mustang can-can girls. 13 ELECTION 1980 On November 4, 1980, once again the citizens of the U.S. were given the opportunity to select some- one who, for the next four years would hold the office of Chief Executive. The candidates for this position were Democrat President Jimmy Carter, Republican Candidate Ronald Reagan and Independent John Anderson. All of the national television broadcasting stations kept viewers informed of the progressing tally of the votes throughout the evening. President Carter delivered his concession speech to fellow Americans long before the final results had been announced because Ronald Reagan had already ac- quired the majority of popular votes. Finally, in the early. hours of November 5, the official results were announced. Undoubtedly, Ron- ald Reagan won by a landslide. He carried 44 states with a total of 489 electoral votes to Carter’s six states (Minn., W. VA., Maryland, GA, RI, and Ha- wali) with only 49 electoral votes. The inauguration of Ronald Reagan marked the beginning of a new era of Conservatism in the United States. To replace the moderate Democratic policies of Jimmy Carter, Americans have picked the most popular representative of Republican Conservatism. This may be the most abrupt switch in the govern- ment’s viewpoint of problems since FDR defeated Herbert Hoover in 1932. Reagan faces challenges that few other Presidents have experienced. The nation’s citizens are looking to him to bring them out of a difficult period in history. The hardship of inflation and humiliation of 52 American hostages in Iran have left them longing for a clean change. Americans hold high expectations as Ronald Rea- gan enters the White House, they realize even a President cannot work miracles. The Americans are looking for a strong administration that will bring prosperity, rebuild U.S. Military strength and re- store the nation’s prestige around the world, yet they acknowledge that none of these can be accomplished over night. UNOFFICIAL RESULTS Carter 34,964,583 Reagan 43,267,489 Anderson 5,588,014 ELECTORAL VOTES Reagan - 44 States - 489 votes Carter 6 States - 49 votes Ww 4 4 RESULTS OF MOCK ELECTION Carter Reagan Anderson eerie a —— A agi Once again, Manor held a mock election corre- sponding to the national presidential election. Yes, the Manor tradition of choosing the loser as our school winner remained unbroken. Since 1974, when the first schoolwide mock election was held, the can- didate selected by the Mustangs, lost the official election. A different technique was used in casting ballots this year. Instead of having mock polls on the com- mons, during lunch periods, all students voted in homeroom. The dirty political techniques used last year such as stuffing ballot boxes and bribing offi- cials, were responsible for this change. Mrs. Yearby, election supervisor, felt in order to give the candi- dates a fair chance and to acquire the most acurate results of the students opinion, it was necessary to change the procedure for student voting. Of the 905 votes cast on November 4th in the mock election, 680 students voted for Democrat Jimmy Carter, 177 for Republican Ronald Reagan and only 48 for independent John Anderson. The Seniors were required in U.S. Government classes to campaign for the candidate of their choice. Posters, buttons and candy favors were distributed among the faculty and students prior tothe election to create enthusiasm. The main point of this assign- ment was to express the importance of being in- volved. One particualr slogan, supporting Ronald Reagan, in tune with the Dr. Pepper song was: I’m for Reagan, He’s for Reagan, She’s for Reagan, Wouldn’t you like to be for Reagan too? MANOR’S ELECTION CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES VISIT MANOR UNOFFICIAL RESULTS Daniel 92,444 Jenkins 59,476 Congressman Bob Daniel Prior to the November election, the incumbent Fourth District Congressman Bob Daniel and his opponent Cecil Jenkins visited Manor to present their views to the students. A selected group of Seniors were chosen to question the candidated on specific issues. Bob Daniel has been a U.S. Congressman for eight years and has created a reputation as an intelligent and hardworking representative. Dur- ing these eight years, he has acquired the ability to understand and speak out on the issues which will affect not only the Fourth District but the nation as well. He agrees that government spending must be controlled and taxes lowered. Daniel sets National Defense as a priority for America. The U.S. must protect the security and interests of the American people. He has taken a special interest in environ- mental, historic and neighborhood conservation issues. His campaign slogan reminded the con- stituents of his accomplishments while in Con- gress: YOU KNOW HE WORKS FOR YOU. Cecil Jenkins, presently serving on Chesapeake City Council believed the Fourth District needed a real representative. His stand on the issues showed a deep concern for the welfare of the peo- ple in the Fourth District and the Nation. He felt, as does Congressman Daniel, that government spending must be controlled in order to end the high rate of inflation. However, although, Jenkins Mr. Cecil Jenkins views were similiar to those of Daniel, Mr. Jenkins did not have the experience needed to defeat Dan- iel. The citizens of the Fourth District have seen the results of Daniel’s hard work as a Congress- 16 man and know he’ll continue to work for them. Brigadier General William G.T. Tuttle, Jr. was commissioned upon graduation from the United Stated Military Academy in 1958. Upon completion of basic Infantry Officer, Ranger and Airborne training, he was assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division.

It began with a poster contest and a project foir on Monday. The posters and projects were on display in the library. The first place winner in the poster contest was Tim Jackson. Tim Cherry and Avery Davis were first place winners in the project fair. On Tuesday a Declamation contest was held. Each student competing was to read a paragraph in his or her foreign lan- gauge. All three languages competed on beginning and ad- vanced levels. The first place winners for French, Latin, and Spanish were: Beginning French - Roger Culpepper, Advanced French - Joan Cherry, Intermediate Latin - Lori Wilson, Ad- vanced Latin - Tim Cherry and Kenneth Corum, Beginning Spanish - Roxanne Long, Advanced Spanish - Cheryl Clisby. An International Buffet was held at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday at which the King and Queen, Mark Whitaker and Sharon Herring, and their court were presented and crowned. The first runners up were Angela Albergottie and Todd Hall. Second runners up were Lynette Hatcher and Reddell Windley. Par- ticipating students and their parents were invited to the Inter- national Buffet. The students did an excellent job of preparing some complicated and delicious dishes. The first place winners in the International Buffet were: French Meats - Janet Miller, French Vegetables - Lynn Stallings and Amand Mines, French Desserts - Robert Sarver, Latin Meats - Lori Wilson, Spanish Meats - Sandy Cox, Spanish Vegetables - Lisa Towns, Spanish Desserts - Terrence Epps. The Mardi Gras Parade was held Wednesday during lunch periods. The band, floats, banners and costumes worn by the foreign language students called much attention to Foreign Language. For the first time an awards assembly was held on Friday. This assembly presented trophies, ribbons, and certificates to the contest winners. Thanks to the careful planning by Mrs. Lucas - Department Head, Mrs. Flynn, Mr. Crute, and Mrs. Bradley, Foreign Lan- guage Week at Manor was a complete success. 18 MARDI GRAS ———_- 1s LOCO) ike) In striving for the best, students at MHS achieved a degree of excellence in many and var- ious areas.

Discussions of various topics could always be heard in the halls and in the classrooms. Students reflected as many different personal- ities as they did opinions. True-to-life, MHS had apathetic students, however, the average Mus- tang showed interest in MHS and participated in some phase of Manor activity: The knowledge that a solid educational back- ground meant a more productive and successful future prompted most of MHS’S students to take their school work seriously.

Each stu- dent nominated one boy and girl for each of the 18 categories. After the votes were tallied the top three names from each category were placed on a final ballot. Then the seniors selected the final su- perlatives. The superlatives were selected based on the students appearance, ability, or personality towards their fellow classmates. These per- sons chosen are among the highest degree of comparison. They are the most outstanding students in their specific category based on the opinions of the Seniors. Chosing the superlatives is a time consuming and tedious task. Thanks to senior sponsers Mrs. Moore, and Mrs. Holleran, the se- lection of superlatives was done fairly and concisely.

They worked closely with the Senior class officers in planning the numerous activities which filled the Senior’s year with excitement and fun. To start off the year, Jostens came and took or- ders for caps and gowns, announcements and senior keys. Then came Homecoming! As usu- al, the Senior float was spectacular. Thanks to the hard work and supervision of Mrs. Moore and Mrs. Holleran, the float was completed on time. The most time consuming, tedious task giv- en to the sponsers is planning graduation. This includes arranging a guest speaker, re- hearsals and last minute details. The Seniors were lucky to have sponsers with such creativ- ity and orginality. For the first time, a local celebrity will be the guest speaker at gradu- ation. Without a doubt, graduation will be Manor’s most successful. Mrs. Holleran and Mrs. Moore are two spe- cial people who willingly helped the Seniors in every aspect of their school life. Their devo- tion and support is most appreciated. omen SS 2 a sae a Bernadette Boone Chris Boone David Brannock Allen Brewer Joyce Briley Carlton Brooks Dudley Brooks Cassandra Butts James Butts Rosalind Carey Kim Chamberlain Yolanda Chandler Bonita Yvette Albergottie - “Shortie” Activities: SGA, JV Cheerleader, Flag Carrier, Manor Singers, Mixed Chorus, Modern Dance Group, Regional Chorus Ambition: To attend college to become a health and physical education teacher or a legal secretary.

Such was the case with Valedictorian Joan Cherry and Salutatorian Janet Rathbone. Through four years of diligent study and hard work, they managed to uphold the highest academic stan- dards. It was not all work and no play for this pair, however, as Janet and Joan both participat- ed in a myriad of both school, community, and extra-curricu- lar activities.

Many worked at fast food res- taurants or stores at the local Mall. Senior portraits emptied many pockets of precious dol- lars as did dates, class dues, yearbooks, college applications and announcements. Fortu- nately, with commencement, came much appreciated gifts which helped to bolster the de- pleated budget of the grads.

It is a disease which affects all Seniors eventually. The symptoms are quite obvious; (1) lack of concentration (2) inability to respond enthusiastically in class and (3) falling grades. It is not un- common to walk into any Senior classroom around April and discover a student sleep- ing. No, he is not suffering from lack of rest but rather this unusual disease of Seniori- tis. There is no preventive action to protect a Senior from this desease. Within two weeks of commencement, the symptoms disappear and once again Seniors are the joyous, bubbling students that entered school the first day of “their year”. Sharon Jones Tyrone Jordan Joseph Kampman Erin Kelly Vickie Knight Rita Langston Rick Lawrence Debbie Lee 45 One Senior worthy of recognition for her outstanding accomplishment as a writer is Sherri Inman. She was chosen to represent Manor through her essay in the Voice of Democracy Contest. Her paper, entitled, “My Committment to My Country”, was also chosen to represent Portsmouth in the District Competition. Sherri received a cer- tificate of recognition from the school and a plague, a $25 check and a pin from the mayor which was presented to her at a City Council Meeting. Mr. Mitchell, played an important part in the success of her paper. He coached her on dictation, grammar and the general structure of her essay. Manoriis very proud to have such hard working, outstanding students as Sherri.

The officers were: President Beatrice Wilson, Vice President Prell Hunter, Secretary Sharon Herring, Treasurer Lisa Jones and Publicity Directors Dwayne Coston and Tammy Schultz. The Advisory Committee consisted of Chrystal Bond, San- dranette Moses, Cindy Mauk, Pam Elam, and Emily Hubbard. To start off the year right, the Senior officers promoted a cam- paign in displaying school spirit. The Seniors ordered T-shirts with all the names of the 1981 graduat- ing class printed on them. During the Homecoming pep rally, all Seniors who had purchased T- shirts wore them to show the class of 1981 was the best! OFFICERS Doris Rodgers Marilyn Rogers Carla Rountree Gary Rowe Scotty Rupe Artie Russell Phyllis Scales Tammy Schultz Bonnie Simmons Janice Sivills Cathy Smith Gregg Smith For twelve years, they've known what has been expected of them. They’ve been guided, protected and pointed in the right direction. Now they have come to the crossroads. It is their turn to make the decisions. It is their turn to make the deci- sions. The Seniors are faced with a challenging situation. For some, the college life is where their heading. Others will find jobs, get married or go to_ technical school. Whatever the choice, Manor has given them the incentive to make their dreams come true. It has been a fun four years, full of many opportunities and challenges. Of course, there were trying times such as Pfeifers English class, term pa- pers and chemistry equations. It’s now time to say good-bye to their teachers and friends. As they walk through those doors, a part of Manor will go with them; for it is here they had their beginning.

The big day finally arrived. It seemed as though June would never come. Term papers completed, textbooks closed and _ lockers emptied; high school days were now a thing of the past for our Seniors. The festive occasion with it’s showers of gifts, hugs and kisses, marked the end of a long, trying year. As the names were called one by one, memories of football games, pep rallies and prom night came to mind. These people, who for four years played an impor- tant part in each Senior’s life, would soon be going their separate ways. It was a sad yet joyous occassion for the 1981 graduating class. They say now, they won’t be back; but they will. For Manor holds many very spe- cial memories for each one of them. amed by you ledge, and mig te our future to your demand. t justice, honor and truth art of Manor High School.

Teachers therefore placed grammar and writing among the top priority in every subject. Students found teachers to be more than just instructors as faculty members assisted with the clubs, organizations, and general counseling of the students. Faculty members at MHS showed a concern _ for their students as they helped to prepare them for the competitive world which they would soon face. 102 SECOND TIME AROUND Dear Students: As seniors you should be excited to know that you are about to reach a milestone in your lives. Receiving your diploma represents an investment of twelve years of your lives that have been devoted to preparing yourselves for college or the work world. Numerous golden opportunities are lying before you. The extent to which you will succeed depends upon you — not only upon the foundation that you have constructed but your future ambition and willingness to work diligently to achieve. Allow me to challenge you to satisfy yourself with nothing less than your best in all future undertak- ings. EKach of you has your very own special talents. Develop these talents and make a contribution to your fellow man. Recognize that your Alma Mater is proud of you and will always be interested in your success and ready to assist you in any way possible. Let me assure you that you indeed hold a special place in my eyes since I have known you for six years and was promoted with your class to Manor High School four years ago. Sincerely yours, (Qc Teen (Mrs.) Olivia T. Hinton ADMINISTRATION The Administration of Manor High School exists to aid in the learning process of all students. The primary goal of the administration is to insure that each student is given the best instructional program possible without interup- tion. This means that the principal and assistant princi- pals diligently strive to create an environment for teachers to work at maximum efficiency and students doing the same. Discipline, scheduling, general organization and planning have to be coordinated to make this goal possi- ble. Mr. Carlos L. Mills B. S. - Appalachian State M.

The services provided vary with the individual students and their goals and ambi- tions, but include testing, personal-social-academic counseling, career and college counseling, and course planning.

Electives offered in the department were drama, jour- nalism, and public speaking. We also have a diligent debate coach, as well as a newspaper sponser. The drama classes worked with students to develop a series of theatrical presentations; students competed in the “Voice of Democracy” contests and the newspaper sponser continued to produce an excellent newspaper, Mustang Highlights.

Learn something about the people and places, and learn to communicate with people who do not speak English. Take a foreign language now while you have the time and the opportunity. At Manor we offer you French, Latin, and Spanish, and these courses are open to any student who is inter- ested and willing to learn. The language courses empha- size the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing in the foreign language and learning about the culture of the people who speak the language you choose.

The science courses taught are Phys- ical Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. All of the science courses are lab oriented and major emphasis was placed upon the students ability to acquire knowledge and comprehension of facts and concepts through examples, theories, laws, terminology, diagrams, and pictures. Students were encouraged to participate in local, dis- trict and national competitions such as the Tidewater Science Congress and Virginia Junior Academy of Science. The main objective of our department was to provide all students with meaningful learning experiences in science through participation in the above activities. v Mr. Michael R. Hillinch B.

First, courses are offered to provide basic business educa- tion including occupational orientation and explora- tion for all students. Second, occupational prepara- tion coursed are offered for those who plan to enter business and office occupations The Manor Business Dept. provides the students with basic skills for a good administrative secretary or correspondence specialist. In the spring students operate a model office which is a classroom setting of a laboratory with equipment, furnishings, organiza- tion, and job tasks which resemble that of an actual office. D.E.-I.C.T.-C.O.E. Marketing and Distributive Education is a cooperative program that enables a student to combine part-time em- ployment with classroom instruction for retail, wholesale, and service occupations. There are three levels of distributive education at Man- or plus a specialized class in fashion merchandising. These classes are D.E. I-(Fundamentals of Marketing), D.E. II- (Marketing), D.E. III-(Advanced Marketing), and Fashion Merchandising. I.C.T. is an elective course, which enables students to work parttime in jobs of their choice or a closely related field. These students attend school half of the day and work for local employers the other half of the day. Class time is spent discussing such topics as employer- employee relations, How to get a job, labor laws, life and health insurance and communications skills. Their work is primarily vocational as opposed to con- sumer related. Through Cooperative Office Education (COE), class- room study and on-the-job training are coordinated. Schedules of COE students are arranged so that the stu- dents attend classes part of the day and are employed in offices during the other part of the day. The on-the-job office experience is an extension of the classroom instruc- tion. The in-school preparation is coordinated with the student’s on-the-job assignments by a business teacher coordinator.

The five instructors in the department are dedicated to the premise that students should experience as many facets of industry as possible. These include, not only the technical aspects, but the economic opportunities as well. Thereby the student gains a head start on impor- tant decisions for the future. LAr Mr. James L.

The Art Department has endeavored to implement a program of instruction which will aid in the develop- ment of students who are art oriented and artistically creative. In the pursuit of art, a student may become con- scious of his own growth as an individual. The courses in the Art program have been organized in order to give basis to this philosophy. Art I is basic art. Art II, III, and IV give a solid foundation in art through a course outline which includes lectures, audio visual aids, student projects, and demonstra- tions. The art laboratory has a unique appearance. The spacious and modern laboratory is all inclusive. The one large area utilized by two full-time instructors is well equipped and provides an area off of the main instruction area for ceramics. Just outside the art laboratory is a glass display case for students to place completed artwork. In recent years, the department has excelled in community service. Our department has served as host to the local museum’s travelling art show and art students from local colleges have been sent to observe art classes in our department as a means for them to gain experience in teaching art to students.

At first, it was difficult for students to get back into the routine of school life. Once the adjustment was made students began to get involved in the many orga- nizations and activities that were offered at WOs toe In addition to attending academic classes, stu- dents were involved in a myriad of both co-cirri- cular and extra-cirricular activities. These activi- ties combined to form a microcosm of the society within which our students live and learn.

GAMES WE PLAY The coaches and athletes joined in a continu- ous effort during the school year to improve the athletic program at MHS. The dedication and sportsmanship displayed by Manor athletes ex- emplified their desire to not only win, but to play the game well. Sports programs at Manor provided not only a way to gain physical fitness, they provided a wel- come relief from the monotony of school life. Athletics also helped to boost school spirit. The 1980 Manor Golf team showed true Mus- tang skill and pride by winning the AAA Virginia State Golf title. Their victory provided an exam- ple for all to follow. Lonely Mustang.

TOUGH START SLOWS SEASON Plagued by injuries to key per- sonel, the ’80 Mustangs endured one of its toughest season compil- ing a 1-9 record. By virtue of the computer scheduling system the players had to face three of the district’s toughest teams right at the start of league play: defending champion Great Bridge, Western Branch, and last year’s runner-up Wilson. Early on, the Mustangs had de- fensive difficulties and an offense that ran hot and cold. As the sea- son went on the players matured and began to play with more in- tensity. Manor’s nine game losing streak came to a halt as the team finally broke into the win column by sinking the Admirals of Cra- dock 12-7. As a result of his defen- sive efforts David Bannock re- ceived player of the week honors from the Currents section of the Ledger-Star. Several players exhibited com- mendable individual effort during the season. Quarterback Todd Hall reigned as the area’s top pass- er by completing 52 of 158 passes for a total of 824 yards and six touchdowns. In his first outing as quarterback in the game against Wilson, Todd tossed a 64 yard TD bomb to add to David Brannock’s field-goal Manor led in the contest 9-0. The; previously unscored- upon Presidents were stunned. They soon regained their compo- sure however, and went on to rout the Mustangs 40-9. Breaking Away.

CAGERS MAKE PROGRESS Described as “a year away”, Manor’s Basketball Team was predicted by the Ledger-Star to finish no better than ninth in the Southeastern District. Con- trary to this prediction the Mighty Mus- tangs finished the season with an 11-9 re- cord, placing sixth in the District. Competition this year in the Southeast- ern District was keen, and upsets were not uncommon. This was exhibited by the fact that no District team finished the season with less than seven losses on their overall record. Although most teams played out an eighteen game schedule, only a ten game stretch was used to decide the champion- ship. Each team was allowed only one chance for the record with another District school. The District contests were tight, usually going down to the buzzer, and were clinched by one or two baskets. After dropping a two point decision to Oscar Smith in the opening game of the season, the Mustangs recorded their first win as they defeated the Bruins of Western Branch, 63-52. In the first two rounds of the Honret Christmas Classic, Manor suffered losses at the hands of two powerful out-of-state schools. The Mustangs then rallied against their third opponent, romping over North- eastern, 80-63. This victory sparked the team on and they reeled off four straight victories before bowing in tough games against Indian River and Cradock. In February, the Deep Creek Sure shot.

Manor was not to be intimidated as they kept the score close. The lead changed hands of- ten and the Hornets led by three points at the half. With the sup- port of a large home crowd the Mustangs played consistently, ca- pitalizing on mistakes made by the foul-prone Hornets. In the fi- nal seconds, clutch freethrow shooting lifted Manor past the Hornets in a 61-58 upset. This vic- tory over a much taller Deep Creek team was cited as the sea- son’s most satisfying win. The next game was a down to the wire 48-47 loss to I.C. Norcom. But the Mustangs rebounded, winning over Great Bridge and Churchland. In the last regular game of the season, the Mustangs rebounded, Winning over Great Bridge and Churchland. In the last regular game of the season, the Mustangs found them- selves in a tight spot facing Oscar Smith, a team hungry for a victo- ry. After three close quarters, the game was a lost 47-46 due to an abundance of Manor turnovers. Qualifying for the Southeastern District Tournament, the Mus- tangs were pitted against their arch-rival I.C. Norcom in the first round. The Ledger-Staf pre- dicted that Norcom would take the game by six points. With Man- or down by four at the half, it looked as if the prediction might come ture. However, the Mus- tangs cut Norcom’s lead to one point with only one quarter re- maining. A fourth quarter surge put manor ahead for the first time. As a result of three technical fouls on the Greyhounds, Bobby Bell sank ten freethrows to put the game out of Norcom’s reach. Man- or went on to win in a rout, 67-50. In the fourth quarter the Mus- tangs scored thirty-six points, the most points ever scored in one quarter by a Manor basketball team. In the semifinals against Churchland, Manor trailed throughout most of the game. The Mustangs never gave up and with tremendous effort they were able to tie the contest at 47 with only 1:50 to go. Foul shots again deter- mined the outcome as the Truck- ers hit on two opportunities escap- ing with a narrow 52-49 Victory. Building on this year’s exper- ience the Mustangs of 1981-82 should be very competitive in the Southeastern Distict. Hooping it up.

Cooper- ation was cited as the key to the teams success. “Everybody on the team was ” stated Laura Kozoyed. The season began with high hopes. Fhe first scores were en- couraging as Manor defeated Os- car Smith, 67-56 and Western Branch, 63-51 prior to participat- ing in the Portsmouth Girls Bas- ketball Christmas Tournament. After drawing a bye in the first round of the tournament, Manor confronted the Lady Truckers of chland. The game was tight, but the Mustangs reigned victorious winning by six, 65-59. In the championship game against Wil- son the schore was 52- 52 at end of regulation. Applying the pressure in overtime, the Lady Mustangs held off the Lady Presidents, win- ning the thriller by two points 58- 56. This victory upped their re- cord to an unblemished 4-0. Man- or had two players selected to be on the All-Tournament Team; Sa- brina Moody and Anita Cooper, the tournament’s most valuable player In the very next game against Wison the tables tables were turned. With two seconds remain- ing in the contest, Ann Theus of Wilson hit a twleve foot jump- shot, lifting the Presidents over Manor by one, 59-58. Undaunted by the close loss, the Lady Mustangs proceeded to dump their next three opponents, winning by an average margin of twenty-eight points. In their next contest Manor bowed to eventual Region Cham- pion Deep Creek.

The team practiced diligently, learning new techniques during after-school training sessions. Drills, weightlifting, running, and weight control were all a part of the weekly routine. Senior Lawrence Dawkins brought honor to the team as he clinched the 145 pound weight class at the District Tournament held at Manor. Dawkins also took fourth in the regional compeittion and went on to participate in the State Tournament in Northern Virginia. His overall record for the year was an impressive 15-4-1. Other individual standouts were: Alan Brewer, who placed second in the city and fifth in the District Tournament; and Greg Parker, who took sixth place in the District Tournament. With a large number of letter- men expected to return next year, the future of Manor’s Wrestling program looks bright. ee er ae ary ae re a B oa ‘ea OF : ¥ MUSTANGS FINISH AT 4-2 With wins over Cradock, Churchland, Wilson, and Oscar Smith, the Boys’ Cross Country Team compiled a 4-2 record and placed second in the Portsmouth City Meet.

The building of stamina needed for the 3.1 mile event was both exhaust- ing and exhilarating. Tracksters practiced an average of two hours a day in preparation of their event. Running, running, and more running is the only way to win a Cross Country meet. Endur- ance and speed combined enabled Manor to win sixty percent of their meets.

VARSITY CHEERLEADERS BOOST SCHOOL SPIRIT _— w I Busy throughout the summer months, the Varsity Cheerleaders prepared for the up-coming sea- son. The squad attended the Nation- al Cheerleaders Association Camp at the College of William and Mary, July 7-10. There they learned new routines, improved their cheering ability, and made new friends. At the end of the four day session, the Varsity Squad re- ceived a rating of “Excellent”. In addition to summer practices, the Cheerleaders marketed stationery and raffle tickets. During the school year, squad members sold spirit ribbons, buttons, Homecom- ing flowers and other items to cov- er financial needs. In November, Manor Cheer- leaders sponsored a one day cheer- ing workshop that was held at Manor. Cheerleaders from other area schools participated. Pete Alexander and Karen Bucaro, both representatives from the Na- tional Cheerleaders Association, directed the session. Performing in_ pep-rallies, sporting events and for other spe- cial activities, the Varsity Cheer- leaders exhibited much school, spirit and pride. 1980 Varsity Cheerleaders Left to Right: Sharon Suttles, Lisa Cox, Debbie Newman, Melodie Heath, Susan Ball, Kathy Hutsenpillar, Renee McRae, Melinda Fly, Connie Parker, Tami Evans.

After one single stroke kept the golf team from competing at the State level last year, Manor had a score to settle. And settle it they did. The RED HOT Mustangs breezed to 9-0 record Southeast- ern District play sett ing course re- cords at Stumpy Lake and City Park. They then proceeded to easily with the district Tourna- ment. At the Regional Tournament, held at Sleepy Hole, the Mustangs were not to be stopped as they carded a 291 en route to a 20 stroke victory over runner-up Princess Anne. Following this vic- tory, the Manor Golf Team set its sights on the State Golf Title. Practicing on the Kingsmill Golf Course in Williamsburg, May 17-18, the team readied itself for the State Tournament to be held May 19-20. Shooting a 312 in the first round, the Mustangs led by only three strokes. 312 was the highest score they recorded as a team all year. Coach Brown was not at all worried, “If we can take the lead when we were not at our best, then we should have little trouble in the final round if we play our usu- al game.” But half-way through the final round, the Mustangs were five strokes ahead of their first round mid-point score. Thats when Manor made the move. The team members broke out of their temporary lull and conquered the last nine holes, and giving Manor a total score of 618 and their first State Title. No team came closer than 16 strokes to the Mustangs score. After the victory, Coach Brown commented, “The team worked hard for this. Manor has never had a Regional Championship be- fore in any sport, much less a State Title. And I’ m proud of the team.” . a ba “igs, ,. , i= A , it oe ay a an, ea ED Practice makes perfect.

From these memories we hope to inspire the members of the student body to build on what they have learned; to grow and reach new goals and to climb onward, ever upward. 1981 YEARBOOK STAFF | We started off this year with great expectations. Thirty-six people showed up for our first meeting. That was the way we started .... The way we ended was slightly different. This year culminates the gallant ef- forts of our Senior Editor in Chief Jean Williamson and Assistant Editor Jenni- fer Farless. For four years, they have worked dilligently to record the passing history of Manor High School. Without their sacrifice of time, sweat, and tears, this book could never be. Our Sports Editor, Senior Bryan Hes- teralmost singlehandedly completed the record of our fall and winter sports. We cannot give the entire credit for the ’81 Mustang to our three Senior Editors. There are other students who deserve recoginition for sticking it out to the bitter end. These people had the thankless job of drawing layouts, taking pictures, typing copy, making prints, and all of the time consuming “un-fun” aspects of producing the yearbook. Spe- cial thanks for their efforts go to: Gary Hudson, Tricia McLaughlin, Jo Ann Smith, Shirley Watkins, Angie Furman, April Hughes, Rhond Fly, Dennis Smith, Phylis Jennings. To you the student; these students present the 1981 Mustang, a recorded passing of time and efforts. This is your book, compiled and created for your memories. = Bryan Hester has a good laugh when asked about completed pages. Jo Ann Smith checks pages for completion. Dennis Smith lends a hand in selecting pictures. 195 Today, where we The futur actor, cowb inflation. T ta Seo : é Pttlanta With nerclucs as to f ¢, ’ at s t 5 3 7 oy 8 ; ' y + ‘
