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.

WHICH STEP [IS NEXT? 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.

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
