YEAR IN REVIEW Having never lost a half-time, the Marching Mustangs line up for another super show. Bravery overriding ner- vousness led many students to support the annual Stu- dent Government Blood Drive. Students waited up to two hours for the chance to have a neddle jammed in their arm, in order to give the gift of life. The success of the 1981 drive was hampered by too few Red Cross workers. Stu- dents were willing and many were turned away as two o’clock neared. Susan Conk- lin was one of the many brave souls to donate blood. The increased cost of lunches is a topic of conversation as Brenda Jacobs and Eddie Gilli- kin checkout of the cafeteria. A new angle for an old routine is reflected through a bus mirror.

The quiet before graduation is reflected in the faces of members of the class of 1982. The twelve years of waiting was finally over. The proudest moment came as each senior received his high school diploma. The smiles and hugs of the graduating seniors reflect the mixed emotions of graduation night. Obviously happy to be graduating, many seniors also realize that graduation means saying farewell to old friends and facing a future that is filled with uncertainty. Opening 7 Years Of Spirit SGA sponsor, Richard Cash, dressed for Clown Day, provided one of the highlights of Homecoming Week. Vincent Knight and his mellowphone help to get the crowd on its feet as only the Marching Mustangs can do. Burning the effigy of Oscar Smith was a highlight of the Thursday night bon-fire. The Varsity Cheerleaders entertain the student body with an appro priate pom-pom routine, ‘’Celebration!”’ 10 Student Life The traditional bonfire provided Manor’s football team with the opportunity to unite the school against Oscar Smith. As drum major, Oretious Wright added style to Manor's halftime shows. Carrying the saber, Angela Albergottie had what it took to keep the percussion section in step. Hammering and nailing, the members of the chorus started from scratch on Thursday afternoon to transform this flatbed into a prize- winning float. A special kind of spirit surrounded the school during Homecom- ing Week. With “The Greatest Show on Earth” as its theme, spirit week was a time for reviving school spirit. Costumed as their favorite circus characters, the students and faculty wore costumes of ringmasters, clowns, and aerialists. Spirits were fired up for the bonfire as members of the student body cheered and clapped to the music of the band. It was announced at the Friday pep rally that the senior class had won both the graffiti wall contest and the spirit link contest. A high point of the afternoon came when the Marching Mustangs played and danced as only they can. Student Life 11 Summer Sweat During the heart of the sum- mer, few students gave much thought to school. There were, however, some groups of stu- dents who were working hard throughout the summer prepar- ing for the opening of school. Even in June, when most of us were thinking only of being out of school, the yearbook staff was working hard on selling ads and thinking of ideas. The newspaper staff was also busy preparing an edition of the paper which was handed out to students on the first day of school. Early in July, the varsity cheer- leaders participated in the East Coast Cheering Camp held at Methodist College in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Returning home, In August, the football players began prac- ticing long, hard hours for the fall season. Saar cect cee 12 Student Life the varsity cheerleaders began practicing with junior varsity on the new mounts and stunts for the upcoming football season. In the hottest month of the summer, the football players and band members began gearing up for the season ahead. Under a blazing sun, the football players practiced a grueling 4 to 6 hours a day, 5 days a week. With the guid- ance of the new band director, Mr. Bill Gibson, the Marching Mustangs worked daily preparing themselves for the opening of school. Although the school year runs from September to June, the practice and planning go on all year. Intense concentration shows through on the faces of Orelius Wright and Cedric Reed. ae The Yearbook staff worked for hours to meet the deadlines that haunted them until March.

Homecoming ’81-’82 It is no secret that for the past ten years, Manor High School's homecomings have been held well away from “home.” Due to lack of a place to call ‘‘home,” the Mustangs have been referred to as the ‘‘orphans of the Southeast- ern District.” In spite of the nu- merous taunts poked at us and the trauma of floats that blew away on the trin to the homecoming The Mustang flag corps sets the pace for the Marching Mustangs to parade on and off of the field. ¢ ae yay? ¢ hg ¥at Soh td The Society of Arts and Crafts captured beauty, color, and theme in their pictur- esque float. 14 Student Life game, the Mustangs have stuck together in true family form. Our school spirit has not been les- sened even though our home- comings should be called ‘““home- goings.” Manor’s pride and digni- ty on these occasions have shown the other schools in our area that the Mustangs definitely know how to ‘Do It In Style!’”’ The frustration of the sideline is part of being on the team.

After a brillant performance the Marching Mustangs return to the bleachers to cheer on the football team. The 1981 Homecoming Court consisted of: Pam Smith and Jeff Brown, Homecoming Queen and King; Shirvelle Parker and Jack Salmon, first runners-up; Teri Brown and John Mixon, Senior Attendants; Roxanne Long and Rickey Randall, Junior Attendants; Lisa Thompson, Sophomore Attendant; and Jewell Vincent and Joe King, Freshman At- tendants.

With the first football game having been played before the The V opening of school, school spirit in unfolded slowly. When the Ju- nior, Sophomore, and Freshman classe s joined the Seniors in cheering and showing school spir- it at the pep rallies, school spirit had returned to Manor. October was the month of Homecoming. It also brought an end to the first grading period. Students moaned and groaned about unit tests, book reports, and projects. School, it seemed, was finally well under way. —— — Lunch lines always slowed as the students stopped to choose their meal. The Class of 1982 set a spirited example at a Friday pep rally yelling and shouting, es- pecially for the “SENIORS.” 16 Student Life In the line-up for the tackle, the Mustangs square off against the Bruins of Western Branch. The long hours of practice after school paid off when the Marching Mustangs won several first place awards in com- petition this past fall. i The Varsity Cheerleaders made their stunts seem easy as ’ they boosted spirits at the pep rallies. j © Mrs. Betty Parent, our audio-visual specialist, assisted with research in the library. Sights — Sounds Student Life 17 The calm and quiet seemed to cover the school as viewed from a plane. The favorite short cut of most students was to walk across the square. Mrs. Jackie Thompson, Office Manager, handled administrative and faculty problems efficiently and with a smile. 18 Student-tife—————— Above: The combination was hard to remember but a lock was a part of students school life. Below: The noise of machines was familiar to all shop students. nS RYE EE ATES _. @ Everyday Sights The sights and sounds of a school were not really unique. ; The day began with the sounds of the school bus. The din of j conversation could deafen a person. The only salvation was t that most students were not fully awake. Upon entering the building, students seemed to revive. The volume in the commons area got quite loud as conver- sations competed with the slamming of lockers and the ringing of bells. A regular occurence was the sound of ‘Base to 44 ...” which constantly plagued administrators. The walkie-talkie was an essential companion which staff members carried while on duty. As the end of the day approached, the volume of noise reached its peak. The two o'clock bell ended the day and quiet and calm once more covered the halls. An unusual sight was provided by senior pom pons which appear to have framed Deidre Hinton. Top: Base to 44 ... base to 44” the ever present walkie-talkie was a familiar sight and sound that would bring an administrator on the run. Above: The buses marked the beginning and end of a day.

For others the work is just beginning. Many students spent hours after school involved in extra-curricu- lar activities. Track, basketball, and practicing for sports took many exhausting hours after school. The Senior Class, the National Honor Society, and other clubs and orga- nizations met regularly to plan ac- tivities. Chorus rehea rsals were held in preparation for the shows and concerts for which Manor has became so well known. Even after the meetings and practices were over there was still activity in our building. Manor stayed open until 10:00 pm. It housed community education, Ju- nior Achievement, square danc- ing, and the Little Theatre of Portsmouth. Students often left the classroom only to spend more working hours after school than they spent in academic class. — Frank Rogers concentrated on perfecting his foul shot.

Teenagers were saving their quarters, not to invest, but rather to deposit in countless num- ber of video games. These young people became addicted to strange sounds, darting lights, and a variety of dangerous alien creatures. These devoted defenders of our universe commanded starships which were based at game rooms, supermarkets, and convenience stores. Students were mys- teriously called away to these bases where they spent hours destroying enemy spaceships and attempting to beat machines at their own games. Arcade favorites included Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Asteroids, Defender, Star Castle, and Phoenix. Home video games also became popular. Many models conveniently attached to television sets and provided hours of entertainment. This made the trip to the local game room unnecessary. Though video games were sweeping the country, the pinball machine still had a loyal following. To some, playing the silver ball was just as addictive as inter-galactic combat. Whatever one’s taste, however, the electronic fun and fantasy of the 1980's was certainly irresistable. Pinball machines were still popular among game fans. Meteor (above) and Solar Fire (right) were quiet compared to the constant chatter of Eight Ball Deluxe (below) which called to players. Defender (above) attracted even the younger set with its fast action. Cinema | and Il employee Mike Long gave out tokens and checked the operation of Games Plus. 22 Student Life aE Sees Star Castle (above) was a favorite space game. The playing panel (below) was a familiar sight to video-game addicts. A favorite everywhere, Pac-Man (above) offered a chance to gobble little critters with names like “Winky” and “Clyde’’. Space Odyssey (below) gave the players a feeling of tr aveling through space. Getting through the spaceships was a landmark for Phoenix fans because it was the last obstacle in the game before beginning the cycle again.

The drive provided toys for children of low-income families. The children were selected through Ports- mouth’s Wesley Center. This year the $.G.A. sponsored nine chil- dren. The drive began with the collection of money in homerooms. This year $150 was raised. After the money was collected S.G.A. officers purchased the gifts. The culmination of the project was a Christmas party in honor of the children. The drive ended with an afternoon of games, refreshments, and plenty of Christmas spirit. Above right: The children enjoyed an afternoon of fun and games Above: Along with the presents the children were treated to punch, brownies, and other Christmas goodies.

(Above) David Gardner and Debra Chapman practiced choreography for the Cho- rus Department's musical production. The school year was long and tedious and many students needed a break from their studies. Some chose sports, some chose art, but others chose a world of fantasy. Theatrical per- formance offered a make-believe life. The drama club was the most logical choice for this escape. Music, however, provided an outlet too. In March, the chorus presented a production entitled “Flip Back to the Fifties.” This show was created by chorus members and featured music from “Grease.” The Drama Club was also active in March when they pre- sented the one-act play “Yes Means No” for the Festival Com- petition. Long hours of rehearsal could often affect the mind. Seniors Lynne Efird, David Gardner, Debra Chapman, Greg Haskins, and Laura Ko- zoyed enjoyed the show, but felt nostalgic as it was the last produc- tion of their high school career. Student Life 27 We All Play The Name Game Look around you and you'll notice that almost everyone you see is play- ing “The Name Game.” Gone are the days when we wore “jeans’’. Now they are affectionately known as our “designers”, and we are on a first name basis with Calvin, Sergio, and Gloria. Walking through the halls, one can hear such conversation as, “Yeah ... my mom said that | could have an- other pair of Calvins’” or ‘I think my Sergios shrank!”’ Another game known as “Go for Broke” is played with our pocket- books as we search for those ever- popular names. It is surprising what a person will pay for a name. If one is given the choice of buying a pair of designers for $40.00 or two pairs of “unknowns” for less, the decision will be for the more expensive de- signers. As an unwritten law, it’s not the style, but the label that is the “name of the game.” PSST SSS SHS Recess 544 PP Ma, —RIDIRD 2 hh 222122 Pe 3 Mee SOP?

She attended Manor during the second semester. During the first semester, — she lived with a family in South Carolina and attended a small : private school called Manning. At Manor, Annika participated in Junior Achievement which | she described as a good experience. As a senior, Annika’s schedule consisted of chemistry, analysis, English 12, U.S. Gov- ernment, sociology and Art I. She said that she really liked Manor and it was similar to the school she went to in Sweden. “American schools are easier than Swedish schools,” she said. — Since Swedish schools do not sponsor a Junior-Senior Prom and graduation is not the event it is here, Annika was excited about attending Manor’s prom and graduating with the class of _ ‘82. Although Annika graduated from Manor, as a Swedish Cte zen, she was also required to graduate from a Swedish high school. As an exchange student she received no credit for courses taken in the U.S. Therefore, when Annika returned to Sweden in July, she had to start preparing for another school year to make up for an exciting year in-between. Getting Ready The Junior Class officers and Advisory Board began early to prepare for the prom. This year’s theme was “An Evening on the Island of Desire.” Under the guidance of class sponsor Mrs. Evelyn Hargrove, fund-raising was necessary in order to buy the decorations and favors needed for the prom. The week before the prom required many hours after school as the juniors worked to turn the Square into a scene befitting a prom. Dana Brown studied one of the many catalogues of prom favors.

Ln Gn Toe Summer Sun During the long winter months it wasn’t too diffi- cult to put school first, but when the first signs of spring appeared, the thoughts of students generally turned towards the beach. The four day week went into effect for many students and the healthy glow of red skin often made teachers question notes which proclaimed “illness.” Virginia Beach was the local fun spot, but when an entire weekend of “fun in the sun” was desired, Nags Head, North Carolina was the place to be. Whether “crusin’” the strip or riding the surf, stu- dents were out for fun and relaxation. The T-shirts proclaimed ‘Pete Smith’s Surf Shop” or “Brew- Thru’. Tans were just the beginning as the months passed by and summer allowed students to “study” the beach full-time. Both ‘’gulls’” and boys often made the scene at the beach. Below: The beach chair and a cooler were familiar sights for local sun-worshippers. Above and below: A lonely surfer rode the waves. Left: Nags Head at sunset — a favorite place to be. 31 Popping The Question = lilneie Prst DES = A guy could phone or he could ask in person. Either way his nerves would suffer and his palms would sweat. (In order to avoid interference from teachers and or friends, note passing was out of the question.) The first phone call was usually “the pits!’’ Our guy would even jot down a few clever things to say. Just to be safe, he might write out the entire conversation. He probably practiced his routine for at least three days before dialing the well-memorized phone number. Swallowing or gulping, our hero would manage to croak, “Hello ... May | speak to your sister?’” The voice at the other end (obviously a juvenile) replied, “Yea,” and a piercing “Sis, it’s for you” resounded throughout the house. “It’s a guy!!”” followed and left our friend wondering if he was the only male to have ever dialed this number. The conversation, complete with gaps of silence, took about thirty seconds and was marred only by the sound of a kid brother, eavesdrpping and making kissing sounds into the phone receiver. The personal touch required a guy to ask for a date before or between classes. Runnning to his classroom and attempting to be “cool” before she arrived, our hero would pace and look, praying that the girl arrived before the final bell. She, of course, appeared ten seconds before the bell sounded. His courage, all his plans, faded as she passed by and he said, “Nice day, isn’t it?” Our hero, determined to catch her after class, hurried across the room to her desk and his ‘‘wouldyougooutwithme Saturday?’’ uttered in one breath, got a smile and a nod. Life can indeed be beautiful. 32 Dating Great Moments Making a move, whether trying to “corner” that special person or just walk her to class was part of the dating scene at school. 7:30 pm — Sharp The first date usually occurred during the high school years. It was only the beginning for the moments of joy and moments of PR Ete: sorrow that accompanied learning | to get along with that ‘special someone”. The first prom was an experience which belonged exclusively to high school. Waiting to be asked was one of life’s most exasperating periods for a girl. Deciding just how early to ask the In Dating Parties, particularly holiday celebrations, sorority and fra- ternity social gatherings, dances, birthday parties, and friendly get-togethers, dominated the free time of students during the winter and spring. Movies provided another outlet for students seeking recreation and relaxation. “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, “Taps”, and ‘‘Endless Love”’ were favorites among the movie goers. Eating remained the number one past-time. Pizza, hamburgers, subs, and tacos consti- tuted the main foods which satisfied Mus- tang’s appetites. The crowd usually gath- ered at Pizza Hut after home games. Susan Ball and Jon Do- ver found that involve- ment in extracurricular activities could often lead to a new relation- ship (above right). La- juana Townsend and Ricardo Evens were typical of the couples . found around the school (right). 4 Ne Bae pe girl was a difficult task for the guy. Couples not only made arrangements to go out to dinner before the prom, but they had to plan the parties and activities which would follow the dance. Outfits in a stunning array of colors were even coordinated by the couples. When the big night finally arrived, the entire family clustered around the young lady and helped her await the arrival of her date. Her biggest worry was not how she looked but rather, how her family might embarrass her. Her brother opened the door and began the embarrassment by saying, ‘She thought you’d never get around to asking her ... what took you so long?” The inquisition followed as the girl’s parent tried to get the young man’s life history in a ten minute conversation. The girl hurried to get downstairs before the family album containing her baby pictures was brought out. Downstairs and ready to go the couple headed for the door. At the same time her father suddenly appeared, Instamatic in hand. He requested just one shot, but of course, the flash bulb didn’t go off. One roll of film later, the couple headed out to the car. Her mother, a tear in her eye, whispered for all to hear, “Look how well she walks. All those years of corrective shoes were worth it.” The family waved as the couple left. The father continued to snap pictures. The date set for 7:30 sharp began promptly at eight. The memory of such an evening might fade. But the photgraphs and the crushed corsage remained as evidence of that special night and a dating ‘‘first’’.

Take A hook At e} dont You ee a The last year had finally arrived! The class of 1982 was soon faced with choices. Whether or not to go to college was the main deci- sion to be made, but there were many lessor decisions with which the class had to deal as individuals or aS a group. The first senior class meeting brought the reality of senior ex- penses into focus. Class dues were announced. Students gasped as sponsor Mrs. Judy Moore made them aware of graduation costs. The Senior Banquet, Baccalaure- ate, and the graduation ceremony itself required programs, flowers 36 Seniors A Matter Of Choice and speakers. Thirty-five dollars per senior seemed like a lot of money in order to participate in commencement activities, but the costs of the banquet alone were tremendous. Added to class expenses were the items which each individual senior could purchase. Caps and gowns as well as diploma covers were necessary graduation items. Manor remained the only school in the area where graduating sen- iors were willing to pay for stoles bearing the traditional “MHS”. Not necessary, but rather tradi- tional were numerous products and services available to seniors. Beginning with the senior picture taken in the fall and including T- shirts, memory books, a Senior class poster, jewelry, mini-diplo- mas, and, of course, the calling cards and graduation announce- ments, the costs of “Being No. 1” was staggering. Ask any senior, however, and one got the same responses “It’s worth it” and “I’ve waited a long time for this’. It really did cost to be a senior, but the special feeling made it worth the wait.

Seniors 39 One Special Senior Donald Savage was one senior who became determined to walk down that long aisle on graduation night and receive his diploma. Last summer, Donald was in an accident that resulted in the crushing of both of his legs. Since his accident, he has had ten operations. Nevertheless, Donald is not giving up. His determina- tion has been aided by the constant support of his friends who have not forgotten to call and visit. Donald’s mother has reported that he is doing better than ever in his schoolwork and is very proud of his grades. Now a senior, Donald’s classes are U.S. Government, English 12, Sociology, Business Law, and Accounting. Although Donald still faces at least two more operations, he is positive of success. His doctors are more than hopeful that he will recover the use of his legs. : Donald’s dream of graduation is a goal which he is determined et ey: Ei AU serer rat AST) to accomplish.

A Way To Get Involved: Senior Advisory Board Everyone needs a helping hand and when the Senior Class Officers ran into unexpected difficulties, the Senior Class Advisory Board was available. The Senior Class Advisory Board was a group of volunteer students who met after school and made decisions with the aid of the Senior Class Sponsor, Mrs. Judy Moore. The Board assisted the Senior Class officers in planning such activities as Homecoming, the Thanksgiving Food Drive and Operation Santa Claus. It also helped to make the final decisions of graduation colors, the class theme and song. Putting the wheels in motion towards planning the Senior Banquet, Baccalau- reate and Commencement, these members of the class of 1982 gave time and effort to be interested and in- volved in helping their class to be the best class ever.

Senior English: A required course — a must — a course that many seniors dread. Teachers Pfeifer, Wall, Swin- ton, and Williams have been through the ‘sweating’ of graduation many times before, but for each senior class the threat of senior English is new. Emphasizing vocabulary, composi- tion, and English literature, these senior English teachers attempted to prepare students for the job market as well as for college. Seniors often forgot that other sub- jects were required as they struggled to learn quotes from “MacBeth”, to memorize vocabulary words, and to complete the required term paper. Throughout the year, cries of anguish filled the Humanities wing as students constantly got behind in their studies or put English off until the last moment. Exams were truly a test of both teach- er and student endurance as the Class of ’82 completed senior English and joined the veterans of “The Canterbury Tales”. The Last Challenge Mr. Kenneth Pfeifer points out to senior Roger Newsom how to clarify his essay. Lynda Lee Lowe: DECA, SGA, Homeroom Representative. ee | Donna Lusk: FBLA, DECA, SGA.

Valedictorian of her class, majorette, clarinet player, pia- nist, and scientist all in one, Mary learned early to balance her studies with her inter- ests. The demands of band did not keep her from concentrating on a prize winning science project in the field of micro-biol- ogy. in 1981 Mary attended the National Sci- ence and Humanities Symposium at West Point, New York where she shared exper- iences in science with high school stu- dents who came from all over the U.S.A. Mary’s interest in using anti-biotics won her first place for 1980 and 1981 at the Tidewater Science Fair. Determination, discipline and dedica- tion characterize this versatile member of our class, The Application Acceptance or Rejection. The Senior year brought the arrival of college recruiting letters and endless application forms. Students were faced with the decision of what to do following graduation. If continuing one’s education was to be a goal, then where to go and what to study had to be decided. This inevitably meant that there would be a stampede to the Guidance Office. As February approached, Mrs. Geraldine Hatfield, Senior Guidance Counselor, had to assemble transcripts and recommendations for application deadlines. Filling out an application could be as difficult as meeting the requirements for admission. Students had to explain in essay why they chose a specific subject to study. It was a hard job trying to “sell’’ oneself to an admissions board. The end result of all this preparation was the letter. Being rejected Jackie Ricks: SGA. was a major disappointment. Being accepted and having a choice of schools was worth all the effort. A “yes” from Virginia Tech, Old Dominion, Norfolk State, or the University of Virginia made seniors more anxious for June to arrive so that they could move on to a new phase of their education.

The class was fortunate in that their sponsor, Mrs. Evelyn Har- grove, had had the experience of producing last year’s prom. The theme was chosen during the win- ter and plans went into production. Junior Marshalls assisted with the Senior Banquet as well as with graduation. The role of the Junior Class was one of enthusiasm, looking forward to the future and being seniors at last. Leaders of the Junior Class were: Dana Brown, Pres.; Deborah Howell, Vice-Pres.; Sherry Powell, Sec.-Treas.; Amy Harrison, Angela Williams, Cheryl Clisby, Mark Whitaker, Janet Millner, and their Sponsor, Mrs. Evelyn Hargrove.

Ordering the class ring was quite an experience. Choosing between aurora, lustrium, or the precious gold or silver metals was just the first step. Emblems or select- a-sides and the stone choices were the other major deci- sions to be made. Oversha- dowing the cost of the ring was the influence of the pocketbook. Arrival of the ring made the choices and decisions well worth the wait. As ju- niors sought out friends to “turn their rings’ 83 times, the pride of being an upper- classman was quite evident. Craig Elliot Scott Evans Richard Evans Sharon Evans Randy Fisher Denise Flowers Jackie Freeman Vicki Frey Juniors 65 66 Juniors Donard Gardner Rod Gardner Earl Giles Phillip Goodrich Michael Gravitt Kim Gray Sharon Griffin Jimmy Hamlin History A Must New areas of study were discovered by many ju- niors. U.S. History was a requirement. Through the use of films and lectures, the story of Anne Hutche- son and the colonial period was brought to life. A highlight of the year was the study of World War Il which previous history classes never seemed to reach. This period of U.S. pride and victory provided a contrast to students who have lived with the memories of Vietnam. Other areas of study included Junior English which emphasized American authors, and chemistry which left many students bogged down with formulas and experiments. Juniors became aware of increased academic re- sponsibility as the year drew to a close. Older and wiser, they were anxious to begin their last year of high school.

Juniors experienced the joy of paying to take a test when they registered for the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test in October. $3.75 for being asked questions about which one knows little or nothing, is only the beginning. The threat of college applications and the competition for be- ing accepted await the rising seniors. Being an expert in math and english does not come easy. Three hours of testing often makes one realize how little he knows. Julie Charlton is shown here in a deep period of concentration as she takes the written exam. The waiting for results was one part of the frustration which surrounds this process. Juniors each year must en- dure this process as they plan for the future. Juniors 69 70 Junior s A big waste of time — the annual term paper certainly takes up time. However, learning to com- pile, research, and express information is hardly a waste. Students became very familiar with index cards, legal size notepads, and especially the public library, which almost became a second home. Juniors worked night after night organizing para- Terrible Term Papers Richardo Randall Doris Reid Lisa Respass Pam Reynolds Jackie Richardson Debbie Ricketts Aloha Roberson Katrina Robinson ines oN graphs, developing themes, and reaching a logical conclusion. The final result of the hours of work was a neatly typed paper — ready for the red pen.

Many juniors found that out as they took on jobs through the Distributive Education pro- gram. Under the guidance of co-ordina- tors Ms. Diane Babilon and Mr. Robert Copeland, students were placed on jobs. Students had to work at least 15 hours a week in order to be eligible for DE credit. That meant a total of 540 hours a year. Job areas included cashiers, store clerks, and gas station attendants. Juniors who received on the job training were learning the reality of practical experience and the importance of a paycheck. Greindora Bullock was one of the many juniors who participated in the DE pro- gram.

Sophomores are truly in- between. Stuck in the “gray” area of school life, Sopho- mores have no activities that are uniquely theirs. Just passing English, Histo- ry, Math and Science courses kept most 10th graders busy. This was a year which gave students a chance to concentrate on grades and to begin thinking about career plans. In the spring the big event for the Sophomore A Year In The Middle was ordering class rings. Manor was the only school in the area with this priviledge. Students met the ring man with “happy hands” extended. Sophomore’s enthusiasm was less than obvious at a basketball pep rally. A “happy hand” is eagerly ex- tended for a ring sizing. Sopho- mores ordered their rings in the spring and received them in Oc- tober of their Junior year.

The word was out ... The class of 1985 was alive and well, and attending Manor High School. However this class of 248 students was recorded as being the smallest Freshman class in the school’s ten year histo- ry. Before the opening of school, the Student Government Associ- ation sponsored a Freshman ori- entation assembly. Homeroom teachers, Administrators, and cheerleaders were introduced to the underclassmen and their par- ents. Following the orientation, representatives from clubs and sports teams briefly spoke about the organizations, their goals, and the qualifications for member- ship. Freshmen were recruited on the spot and urged to become in- volved in their new school. As the time for the opening of school drew near, students and parents hurried around getting clothes and necessary school sup- plies. The deadline when. all things had to be ready was Sep- tember eighth. Many Freshmen had a problem following their schedules. They wandered the halls searching for Physical Science, English, or World Geography classes long after the ringing of the tardy bell. As classroom numbers were memorized, the four minutes be- tween classes became almost ade- quate for getting to and from classes. Entering high school was very different from Waters or other Ju- nior High Schools. Teachers sud- denly expected more. Students were supposed to do their work without constant prodding and reminders. Spoon-feeding and pampering were out. Homework now included more to read and more to write. Each Freshman met this task in his own unique way. Freshmen were reluctant to join school clubs and activities. The newness of high school, the extra hours and learning to bud- get one’s time proved to be a challenge to many. But high school is not only academic and by midwinter many Freshmen were participating actively in both athletics and organizations. Freshmen had their first exper- ience with high school exams in January. Reviewing the notes of a semester and actually studying for the two hour exam left many Freshmen with a feeling that may- be a littlhe more studying would really have made a difference after all. Freshmen John Dawson and Kelvin Patillo watch intensely as Mr. Leathers demon- strates how the wood files operate.

Those who chose to plan ahead began studying after Christmas trying to condense eighteen weeks of notes and reading into two weeks of study or even two days of study was more than trying for the students. The impression of some freshmen was that the exams were going to ask questions they didn’t know. (In some cases this proved true when students didn’t study) Being scared and unsure were just normal feelings for freshmen who were facing their first exper- ience with a two hour test. The good news was that first semester material was not in- cluded on the final exam in June. During the fall, Freshmen had to reference material which would come back to ‘‘Haunt’’ them in January.

As of this year, the 1985 graduating Seniors will be among those required to have two years of Science. This requirement reduces the eligible electives that can be taken by a Freshman. Elective hours were easily filled as Freshmen completed their sched- ules. The choices were difficult as : one had to decide between Industri- al Arts, Graphic Arts, and Communi- Economics Creative Writing ... Senior Science ... and Interna- tional Relations — were new and in- teresting courses offered this year. Budget cuts within the school sys- tem had caused the discontinuation of such programs as Driver’s Ed, and the I.C.T. program. However new or revived courses included. Advanced Typing, Beginning Shorthand, Cre- ative Writing, International Rela- ct i's a salads PRT § LE e ‘£ ‘ : % Be Bik ide wii k od wan 4 = s wat ay r e . , s AANA tions, Metals |, and Wood Il. International Relations, taught by Mr. R. Cash, was revived after a in- terest was noted among History stu- dents. This course involved aware- ness of relations between foreign countries as well as the U.S. and an in-depth study of foreign cultures. The Science Department in- creased their courses this year by of- cations. Chorus, Band, and Art were available to students who sought ar- tistic choices, while Steno and typing were available to students who sought job training. During the Freshman year, many did not have room for electives, but they were able to look forward to many hours of elective delights.

Aaa 4 x a i a4 § oe 7 i . Learning to use the backswing on the tennis courts was one of the techniques taught by Coach C. Black. Playing on Manor’s courts allowed the students to experience individual competition. Open literature books and notebooks were not evidence enough to convince Miss K. Burcher of the students interest in her English lecture. Freshmen traditionally met several teachers who have the task of introducing them to high school homework, study habits, and courses. The faces of the teachers pictured here have become a part of the minds of many ninth graders who have worked hard, been guided, or pushed into passing material which will prepare them for the big move to sophomores. Classes generally taken by Freshmen included English, Physical Education, Science, and Mathematics. Mrs. G. Swinton, Mrs. S. Ward, Mr. M. Hillinch, and Mr. L. Schwab were several teachers who educated Freshmen throughout the day. Memories of the Freshmen year included corrected sentences and coloring maps of the world. Mrs. J. Moore provided curious young minds to respond to sight and sound observations and participations. Using maps, completing charts and viewing audio visual presentations were techniques used in her World History classes. Freshmen 97 mI nistration Mrs. Olivia T. Hinton, Principal The Administration at Manor High School is very proud of the Class of 1982. In your four years here you have demonstrated many talents and made many contributions to your school. It should be most exciting for you to reflect upon the opportunities that await you. Remember that the extent to which you will succeed depends largely upon your willing- 98 Administration ness to work diligently toward your future ambi- tions. Whether you choose to attend college or join the work force, you should not satisfy yourself with any- thing less than your best. Remember that your Alma Mater will always be interested in your success and ready to assist you in any way possible. James T. Roberts Leon Potter Lindell Wallace Assistant Principal Assistant Principal Assistant Principal Peaielion Charles Brown Administrator At the beginning of the school year. Mr. Pete Mills was a member of Manor’s Administration. Eventually he was transferred to the Transportation Department.

Leads The Way Homecoming, Operation Santa Claus, and the annual Red Cross Blood Drive were just a few of the activities organized and sponsored by the Stu- dent Government Association. The SCA officers coordinated activities as diverse as the student body. The SGA was an important link to the commu- nity. Collecting canned food and collecting mon- ey for the United Way campaign were two efforts to tie the student body to society as well as to make students aware of their responsibility to others. The final activity of the SGA was the election of officers for the coming year. The challenge was for the 1983 officers to lead and to match the excellence of the 1982 SGA.

The Able and Ambitious program “Holiday Celebra- tion” was announced b y a huge sign prepared as a backdrop by our own art students. This combined ef- fort of the Portsmouth City Schools was only one activ- ity to which the Art Club lent its talents. The Homecoming float was a major club effort and it placed second in the competition. Club members also competed regularly in state and local competition. The naming of the ‘Artist of the Month” was a regular in- school event. Students also entered galleries at the United Virginia Bank and Ledger-Star buildings. Other activities sponsored by the club included de- signing and completing a mural for Holiday House and preparing Easter Baskets for hospital patients. Bringing color and design to the community as well as to the school kept club members involved throughout the year. IAC Spirits Homecoming The Industrial Arts Club was a small but dedicated group of men who designed and built the first place float in the annual Homecoming competition. Constructing the calliope was a time consuming pro- ject. This club helped others by raising $50.00 which they donated to the United Way Campaign. During the Christmas Holiday Season, club members also gave a party for Tidewater orphans. Standing: Mr. David Cornelius — Sponsor, Clayton Hunter, Clarence Randall, Anth- ony Britton.

The club also shared a videotaped skit with various classes at school. The physically and mentally handicapped children were entertained with a Christmas party. This opportunity enabled the members of the FHA to help those in need. Other activi- ties during the year included visiting a for- eign food restaurant, celebrating National FHA Week, and attending the FHA State Leadership Conference in Roanoke, Va. Promoting Home Ec with a fashion show and inviting as guests students from Waters Junior High was the main project of the year. By showing great concern for others, the FHA filled the year with rewarding activities.

Combining talent with a keen inter- est in science, the members of the Sci- ence Club organized many activities and programs in all areas of their field. Even with plantetarium visits and spon- soring a school science fair complete with awards, club members still pur- sued individual projects. Mary Lind- say’s award winning topic in micro-bi- ology and Roxanne Long’s mathemat- ical analysis with the Rubic’s Cube were projects prepared for the Tidewater Science Fair. Club members also planned to attend and enter the com- petition at the Virginia Junior Academy of Science held at Virginia Tech in April. Under the leadership of Mrs. Ste- phenson, the Manor Science Fair opened up competition to underclass- men.

A bike race at City Park, and the Latin Olympics which consisted of Latin students from other schools were among oth- er activities sponsored by this group. The Latin club also participated in the annual Mardi Gras celebration. The main activity of this group, which was sponsored by Mr. John Crute, was the Latin Convention which took place at the Holiday Inn Scope in Norfolk. Shawn Blood- worth, club president, attended this convention which consisted of a Ro- man banquet, as well as a dance to finish off the evening.

The Spanish Club conducted a variety of interesting activities which enabled its members to become more acquainted with the many aspects of the Spanish-speaking world. Club members visited Mexican restaurants in which they had the chance not only to sample the spicy Mexican cuisine, but also to experience the Mexican culture. In an effort to give students a closer look at the Hispanic culture, guest speakers were invited to club meetings. In order to gain more speaking experience, students also watched Spanish-speaking movies and video tapes. With the aid of Club Sponsors, Betty Lucas and Barbara Flynn, the Spanish Club held bake sales and other fund raising projects to help support its many activities.

A practical application of the French language was evident in the various activities of the French Club. The group sponsored an all Portsmouth French movie and a French banquet, as well as a French breakfast. With visits from exchange students, club mem- bers had a chance to learn about France first- hand. The culture and the people were studied as well as the language. The major project of the French Club involved raising money for a scholarship to the VPI Foreign Language Camp to be held in June.

Excellence is the only way to describe the 1981-82 Marching Mustang Band. The members of this group proved themselves to be the best in the Tidewater area as they captured ten first place awards in the various competi- tions held in the fall. Marching at the Howard University Band Day in Washington, D.C. led to first place awards for the band, drum majors, and the majorettes. Halftime at the football games was dominated by Mustang enter- tainment. Under the direction of Mr. Bill Gibson, the band dis- played great talent, versatility, and discipline as their “dance” rou- tines brought the cheering crowds to their feet. The reputation of the Marching Mustangs spread, and in January they marched in Richmond at the inauguration of Virginia’s new governor, Charles Robb. The band was an organization whose hard work and many hours of practice brought honor and fame to our school.

The Christmas Concert signaled the official arrival of the Holidays at Manor. The singing of “Joy to the World”, ‘Do You Hear What | Hear”, and “Silent Night’’ created a warm and happy feel- ing among the members of the audi- ence. Preparing for a midwinter musical kept students busy as they learned mu- sic made popular by ‘Grease’. The pace continued as the Spring Concert, Senior Show, and the Annual Senior Banquet were planned and carried out. Outside of the school, chorus mem- bers participated in the Able and Am- bitious Program, the All-City Jazz Choir, Regional Chorus, and All State Chorus. These students were willing to give many extra hours of practice and rehearsal in order to bring honor to themselves and to our school. A group which rehearsed entirely during the free time of its members, Manor Singers was the goal of many chorus students. Entertaining at club meetings during the Holidays as well as representing the school at special func- tions kept these talented students very busy.

While other students enjoyed their last month of summer vaca- tion on the beach or just relaxing, six students worked diligently to produce a new school newspaper, the Mustang Express. The premiere issue was distributed free to the entire student body on the first day of school. Nine additional issues were published during the school year covering school and community activities. For thirty cents per issue, Manor students could read features such as Dear-Friend, Record Review, Manor-scope, and Special Manor Students. This paper was the first to be printed on real newsprint. Terri Pfeiffer — Editor, and Angela Williams — Associate Editor, kept their staff busy. Several staff members attended the fall publications workshop at Charlottesville sponsored by the Virginia High School League. Learning new layout techniques and ways of giving complete coverage were just two of the skills presented to staff members. Student Support Makes It Go! Above: Input from all members was necessary to get total coverage. Left: Mr. Cash points out how to crop the picture. Below: Paste-up was only the beginning as members put together the newspaper. Jj Newspaper Staff 129 130 Yearbook Staff Photography And Layouts: A Staff With Style Producing the 1982 Mustang was an effort that sel- dom ended when the two o’clock bell rang. Several students worked on the book during sixth period, but most of the time needed to complete the volume came from nights, weekends, and holidays. A six o’clock pm departure from school was not unusual for Shawn and Dixie as they worked to develop negatives and pic- tures. Planning the book began in April of 1981. The sum- mer was not left free as staff members sold ads to help support the cost of the book. Julie, Shawn, Tim, and Susan braved the heat to sell $1000.00 worth of ads. Designs were drawn up and the plans for pictures were discussed at several summer work sessions. Shawn and Dixie also attended photography workshops where yearbook photography was emphasized. The staff decided to include color pages in the 1982 book and financed it through their ad sales. The en- larged senior pictures were also new with this year’s Proofreading, mailing, and waiting to examine proofs were a major job for Tri-Editors Shawn Bloodworth, Julie Wright, and Dixie Jack. staff. The fall was rather chaotic as novice yearbook work- ers sought to meet their first deadline and turn in all color pages by November first. The hard work and long hours caused the size of the staff to diminish. While many students contributed to the book, only a few dedicated people actually worked on it from start to finish. Presenting a diary in picture and paragraph, the 1982 Mustang sought to personalize the school year. The book tried to include something which represented everyone. The emphasis on year round sports coverage and student life inside and outside of Manor were considered to be important additions to yearbook cov- erage. From idea to design to finished layouts and copy sheets, the book was an effort to keep Manor alive for the years to come. Often seen in many places around school, Staff Assistants Lisa Davis and Beverly Wig- gins ran errands for the staff. Robin Williams, Annette Jurgensen, Lynne Efird, Benita Respass, and Melodie Heath were among Manor stu dents that helped. Tim Cherry assisted the staff in ad selling, writing and editing copy. Yearbook Staff 131 Robin Williams was a special assistant on the yearbook staff. She gave time and effort to drawing layouts, choosing pictures, and running errands, as well as working on the faculty section and senior section of the book. Escaping from the hassles in the yearbook room, Julie finds a quiet spot to choose pictures. Julie and Dixie worked together, as well as individually, to agree upon layout designs for the Student Life section. The role of advisor often meant helping to design layouts and write copy, as well as advise and oversee the work of staff members. Mrs. Susan Yearby listened to problems and offered assistance wherever it was needed. 132 Yearbook Staff The hard work dominated, but a trip to Charlottesville for the Virginia High School League’s Publication Workshop showed that the staff could learn and have fun, too. Working late in the darkroom, Dixie and Shawn developed most of the pictures that are included in the 1982 Mustang.

The library offers a vast amount of information which enables us to broaden our horizons. More Than Just Books The academic environment is not restricted just to reading and writing. The use of films, records, video cassettes, as well as frequent trips to the library are all part of the instructional techniques used by our faculty. Science is a field which receives much emphasis in today’s society. Manor’s curriculum offers advanced courses beyond General Biology and Chemistry. Calcu- lus and Math Analysis have been especially useful to students who want a career in engineering. The Humanities are not overlooked as World History, Sociology, and International Relations offer students an alternative to technical courses. Foreign Languages as well as a variety of English courses allow students the opportunity to use grammar and to expand their vocabularies. This year Creative Writing explored the “wonderful world of soap op- eras.’ Drama and Public Speaking emphasized poise and enunciation when students had to speak before the class and various audiences. The range of academics, including Social Studies, helps to prepare Mustangs for the reality of the outside e world. : Making Money can be “Fishy” Manor students spent their summers doing various things. Ten of Manor’s students, under the supervision of Mr. Mike Nold, spent ten weeks at Old Dominion University last summer learning how to grow and maintain fish. With this project, they learned how to grow a large quantity of protein in a small area. This process is inexpensive and can yield a profit. Students shared the responsibilities of caring for 250 catfish, cleaning out the filter system, and running chemical tests on the water. According to Mr. Nold, the catfish were the easiest type of fish to grow. They were inexpensive and could be eaten by many people. Mr. Nold supervises Kelly Miller in running chemical tests on the water. ‘‘The Mustang Fisheries’’: (Front) Billie Thompson, Deirdre Hinton, Sonya Jones, Kathleen Johnson, John Mixon; (Back) Rodney Price, Kelly Miller, Ricardo Randall. 140 Academics And Honors Music Brings Many Rewards Taking Time for the PSAT Taking the PSAT has many advantages and can bring honors to many people. To Mary Lindsay and Darryl Johnson it was rewarding to take the PSAT because they were chosen as semi-finalists for the National Achievement Scholarship Program for Outstanding Negro Students, Below. Darryl Johnson and Eric Griffith received commendations from the National Merit Scholarship Corporation for the 1982 Program. This award is presented for achievement on the PSAT. In September, auditions were held for the Virginia Music to be in this Choral Ensemble which included 130 selected Seniors who preformed November at the VMEA Conference Virginia Beach; Above: “Holiday Celebration,” directed by Bill musical production. From ‘‘We Shall Overcome” sung to commemorate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to a spectacular Christmas medley, the students entertained and brought many compliments from all who were present.

Competition for the Regional Chorus and the Regional Band positions were held early on Saturdays. The workshops and concerts which followed acceptance into these programs were also weekend activities. Mustangs won 22 positions in the Regional Chorus and 29 positions in the Regional Band. BBR, « The Regional Band performed a wide variety of music at a concert on February seventh. Members of the band, Junior and Senior divisions and the Workshop Band, are pictured here.

The Regional Chorus performed on Friday the nineteenth of February. David Gardner, Melodie Heath, and Shaun Suddeth later achieved positions in the All State Choral Ensemble. All-Portsmouth First Team Anita Cooper and Portia Rawles were unani- mous choices on the 1981-82 All-Portsmouth high school girls’ basketball team selected by the coaches on the cities five schools. Cooper main- tained a 22-point average when she achieved her one thousandth point during her final game against Indian River. Rawles, holding a 18-point average, missed double figures in only three games. Kim Greer (not pictured) was included in the second team. Donna Dabney (not pictured) recived an honorable mention. Darryl Johnson, Mary Lindsay, Melodie Heath, and Portia Ralwes (not pictured) represented the twelveth grade. Mary was singled out as our representative to the All Tidewater team. Tim Cherry, Marvette Warren, Lorie Wil- son and Robin Holley (not pictured) were selected to the tenth grade level team. Their academic excellence made them standouts in the sophomore class. Ledger-Star Scholastic Teams The Guidance Department had the job of locating all Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors who were academically eligible for the Ledger-Star Scholastic Team. The next stop was to present the list of students to the faculty advisory committee. Selection of school candidates also included considerations of leadership potential and atti- tude, as well as service to the school and the community. The finalists (pictured on this page) represent the high- est standards which students can achieve. Mary Lindsay as our candidate for the All Tidewater Team competed with the area’s top seniors for a $4,000 scholarship. Amond Mines, Angela Crabb, and Lyn- ette Hatcher were chosen for the second year in a row to be team members. New- comer Frances McDonald was also select- ed to represent the eleventh grade. Ledger-Star Scholastic Teams 143 The FBLA School-wide Competition was held in February. The winners included the following: Business Communications, Shirvelle Parker and Crystal Cutchin; Poster, Barbara Pitts and Sherry Anderson; Public Speaking, Adrian Yeality and Angela Peoples; Business Law, Hanna Thornton and Eddie Sites; Office Procedures, Lisa Sherman and Karen Atkinson; Accounting, Debbie Newman and Janie Perkins; Typewriting, Donna Mabus, Cynthia Graddy and Tammy Newman; Clerk Typist, Lynette Hatcher, and Barbara Pitts; Steno |, Annetta Vaughan and Pam Smith; and Steno Il, Susan Conklin and Patria Watkins. Honored Mustangs Students who regularly brought honor SINESS mneens : to themselves as well as to Manor were me BoM os indeed of a special nature. They were will- - ing to give of their free time in order to ° research, develop, or rehearse a project M U Sta N S B r | Nn or routine. There were many hours spent 5 5 striving for excellence. Often these stu- dents gave up leisure activities in order to pursue their interests. We pay tribute to each student who F A d H achieved excellence this past year. To al | 1e Nn O no lr these who were awarded scholarships, certificates, and commendations, we say “congratulations” for a job well done. The Portsmouth’s Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution chose Mary Lindsay to receive their 1982 citizenship certificate and pin. It was pre- sented by Miss Emily Sprong at a January meeting. Having been chosen to enter state competition, Terence Kendrick won a first alternate art award. His outstanding work led his instructor Mr. K. Porter to submit his work in other area Competitions. 144 Honors Timothy Cherry (below) and Marvette Warren (right) were nomin- ated for the Virginia’s Governor School for the Gifted. Governor's School was held during the summer at various colleges and univer- sities in the state. Each participant was allowed to choose his field of study within the programs available. These programs included mi- crobiology, cryogenics, and astronomy. Daily classes similiar to col- lege lectures were part of the academic activity. The social side was not ignored as formal dances and mixers were held. = ae 3 tae - ; e s rs ts Past participants, such as Darryl Johnson and Mary Lindsay, said that the Governor’s School experience was “unique with a relaxed learning atmosphere” and “a real life college experience.” Darryl was involved in the study of computer science and math at Mary Washington College while Mary enjoyed Mary Baldwin’s astron- omy and physiology department. The experience of working with students from over the state in a college environment was a won- derful opportunity for the participants. Voice Of Democracy Winner Turning talking into an advantage, senior David Gardner captured the first place award in the state Voice of Democracy Con- test. The contest was sponsored by the La- dies Auxilary and the Veterans for Foreign Wars. David’s topic was “Building American Together”. The prizes for first place includ- ed a gold plate, a $400.00 cash award, a four- day trip to New Orleans, and a two week trip to Washington D.C. for the national compe- tition. David’s background in forensics and music should be helpful to him as he pursues a career as a Minister of Music at Bluefield College in Bluefield, Virginia. David Gardner spoke of “the call, the cost, and the commitment of Building America Together.” After winning the local and district competition, David went on to win the state competition. This made him eligible to compete for a $14,000.00 national scholarship. Honors 145 Foreign Language Salve! Bonjour! Hola! Hello! Foreign Feasting continued this year with the advent of the For- eign Language Mardi Gras during the week of February 22nd through the 26th. On Monday, there was a project and poster fair in the library. Declamation con- tests added competition for each student as he read a paragraph in his foreign language. A parade was held to celebrate the week and costumes brought much attention to the students who worked on the floats.

Awards, including tro- phies, ribbons, and certificates were presented to the winners of the week. Other students participated in other activities including the “Foreign Language Olympics” won by the Spanish club. A Latin convention of the Virginia Junior Classical League was held in No- vember at Scope in Norfolk, Vir- ginia. The foreign language classes sang Christmas carols in French, Latin or Spanish and the halls echoed with “Tintinabule” and “‘Il estinew Above: Miss Lucas prepares the punch for the Foreign Language buffet held at the end of the week’s activities.

Female Invasion Girls invaded the Industrial Art’s classes in increased numbers this year, although the male population domi- nated Woodworking, Communications, and Mechanical Drawing | and II. Mini-courses, consisting of electronics, printing and design layout, graphic arts, and architecture, broadened the field of study in the Industrial Art’s department. Communication labs operated the offset printing presses where they produced the school stationary and the school handbook for the students. Mechanical draw- ing and architecture students designed scaled drawings of - ean objects and buildings. As their skills increased, they ad- vanced from drawing representations of screws to futuris- tic car designs. dy nd Getting the lines “just right’ required a steady hand and concentration.

Bachelor Living, a popular course, introduced guys to the fundamentals of home life. Visiting furniture stores, material of bride and groom in a mock wedding ceremony. Students actually assembled and used bridal gowns, wedding cake, and formal invitations. A ceremony was written and performed in order to complete the project. During December, the Home Economic classes went to the and sewing shops, and decorating firms, they gathered needed research on the art of decorating and furnishing. After learning to operate sewing machines, the guys created ties, shirts, vests, sweatsuits, and stuffed animals. Other projects included preparation of cooked meals and producing items for semester projects. During their study of marriage, Rose Newsome and Chris Hopkins assumed the roles Holiday House to spread cheer. They prepared refreshments and gave each child a gift certificate from McDonald's. In the Senior Home Economics, a course specifically for seniors with little or no previous home economic experience, the girls tackled cooking and sewing, along with their study of child development and personal and family relations. Ovens, sinks, and dishes were a new area to bachelors taking Home Economics. Right: Andre Sapp checks on a meal during class. Please Be Quiet, Someone Is Trying To Study! With over 17,630 books to choose from, a student could find almost any- thing in our library. Re- search for term papers or projects could be difficult if someone else had your topic and got to the li- brary first, but the materi- al was there. Keeping up-to-date with magazines, ‘Facts on File’, and the Social Issues Resources Series was a full time job, but only one of the responsibilities of head librarian, Mrs. Lynn Bonner. Her knowledge of the library as well as her be The Sounds Of Silenc patience and willingness to help carried many a student through a difficult assignment. Students could also re- lax in the library. Maga- zines such as Hot Rod, Psychology Today, and Good Housekeeping of- fered an easy reading al- ternative to novels and bi- ographies. The choice was left up to the student: the books and other materials were available. The effort to use them depended on the individual and just how badly he wanted that “A”. Mrs. Swinton helped Andre Byrd with an English assignment during class time in the library. The card catalogue was well- thumbed through by research- ing students. The quiet before an invasion by a class was part of the early morning scene in the library. Linda Edwards and Renee Black checked out a source for reference. The card catalogue proved to be an important part of the library. Study Hall; The Extra Hour A time period, but not really a class, study hall provided students with a chance to catch up on work, complete homework or study for an upcoming quiz or a test. Under strict supervision, stu- dents were given time in school to complete necessary assign- ments. Students had other options be- sides remaining in the study halls. Many Mustangs regularly used the library during their study. sence Ot Be Others worked for Guidance or for the main office as runners. Some students spent their study producing the yearbook or the school newspaper. Seniors could leave the school after five periods. This early release allowed them to work or to study. Whether reading or playing chess, a study hall student had a break in his academic schedule and a chance to “catch his breath.” | seal Library research was a favorite task for study hall students. Kathy Neville replaced the returned books for the librarian (above). The various expressions of Freddy Cason, Wanda Rodger, Darren Vaughan, and John Dawson were typical of students concentrating on their studies. Left: Kenny Edwards completed an assignment, getting ahead on his homework. Academics 149 Numbers Are A Way Of Life Is man’s best friend really a calculator? It seemed so to anyone observing a math or science class in public schools. The days of tables and charts seemed long gone. Ability to punch in the numbers had replaced the ability to read tables. Students often became too dependent on the calculator and used it for homework with or with- out teacher approval. The calculator was a challenge, however, to the teacher. Innovations in the classroom were called for as games provided new learning techniques and experiences. Making math courses reflect the reality of daily life, the curriculum included consumer math courses as well as advanced math courses. Teach- ers emphasized that the root of all knowledge could be found in the logic of math. Above: Beverly Turner, and James McLean struggled at the Because the Serre MEE such a Ne Oe board with their math problems. The older techniques cern, the emphasis on math was necessary in or- often left students without the familiar calculator. der to help students understand the influence of numbers on their basic survival. Darryl Davis and Kenneth Prueitt examined kidney beans in order to “figure the odds” in their study of genetic engineering. Budget Cuts Science Depletions The rising cost of living also affected the availiablity of sci- ence materials. Shortages of equipment and the expense of replacement limited teachers in experimentation and field trips. The situation, however, was not entirely bad. Manor’s science department was able to sponsor an annual trip to the Virginia Institute of Marine Sci- ence at Yorktown as well as a trip to the engineering fair at Old Dominion University. Award winning projects were developed in the areas of micro-biology and aerodynam- ics. Students even competed at school in a second All School Science Fair sponsored by the Science club. The various areas of Physics, Biology, and Chemistry contin- ued to provide a background for the number of students planning to study engineering, computer science, and medi- cine in college. 150 Academics New York New York ... When asked how she felt about her first flight, Julie Wright re- plied, “I was scared to death!” A trip to the Big Apple for seven- teen International Relations and U.S. Government students began with a Piedmont Flight ... which left Norfolk International Airport at 8:10 am on January 29th. The landing on _ ice-covered runways at New York’s La Guardia Airport was smooth and the group was off on a wonderful learning experience and adven- ture. The bus ride with a New York driver in New York’s traffic was only the beginning. A walk from the Hotel Picadilly to the United Nation’s building gave students a first hand glimpse of Grand Cen- tral Station, the Pan Am Building, and the bustle of New York shop- pers. A tour of the U.N. facilities was most informative as all stu- dents were on international terri- tory for the first time. i i i i A Unique Experience The tour was followed by a visit to the Israeli mission where a briefing was presented. Security was most impressive as the group had to be screened before being allowed to actually enter the var- ied offices. A return to the U.N. followed and a protest demonstration against the Ayatollah Khomeini by Iranian students was in full opera- tion across from the group’s desti- nation. Several members of the tour re- mained at the U.N. for a special meeting of the General Assembly. Listening to the Israeli ambassador and then a representative from There was so much to see, so much to do in N.Y. Students walked miles taking in the sights and sounds of the metropolis. An awesome sight was the Em- pire State Building (left). Palestine was quite an experience. A visit by subway to Chinatown for dinner, shopping trips to Saks Fifth Avenue and Macy’s, and a tour of the Museum of Natural History filled the hours, and the two day trip passed by much too fast. Being on Times Square and see- ing a live Broadway musical were also included in the trip. The ex- posure to international politics and the cosmopolitian way of life made the trip an unforgettable part of the 1982 year for all in- volved. =a SS oe — EN ARAN aN eA ‘GN = Leadership, A The members of the 1981 football team (listed in alphabetical order) are: James Anderson, Oliver Ander- son, Anthony Brown, Jeffrey Butts, Andre Byrd, Phillip Coles, Edward Cooper, Irving Cross, Nathaniel Daughtry, Jeffrey Davis, Kenneth Davis, Terry Debnam, Keith Downs, Vincent Edwards, Milton Elliot, Rodney Fate, Randy Fisher, Kevin Gamble, Michael Gray, James Griffin, Todd Hall, Michael Hicks, Roland Holland, Right: 1981 Mustang coaching staff Cornelius Coleman, Scott Johnson, James Morrison (kneeling), Charles Thomas, and Leroy Williams. re rs rw) 154 Football Woodrow Holley, Reuben Howard, Robert Jeffreys, Henry Mabry, Terry Nixon, Jerry Outlaw, Darius Prayer, Vincent Pugh, Jerry Robinson, Keith Rogers, Jeffery Saunders, Aaron Sawyer, Rodney Sawyer, Wendell Scott, Oliver Webb, Huron Winstead, Michael Wilkins, Julius White, Also pictured are Coach Morrison, Coach Williams, and Mike Harris.

A Feeling Of “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Stretching and loosening the muscles before a game helps to prevent a player’s heartbreak — being injured. One of the hardest and most strenuous tasks in be- coming a varsity gridman comes during the hottest part of the year. For those who“make it, the challenge was well worth the effort. Beginning in August and continuing through the first week in November, Coach Jim Morrison § had expressed a feeling of optimism with his 1981 football team. “These guys have a terrific amount of desire to win. They don’t believe in quitting.” Strong evidence supporting this fact was visible in the fourth quarters of our games when most of their scoring was done. Although there were a few standouts on this year’s football team, most of the offense and defense was played as a team effort. Todd Hall, Julius White, and Kevin Gamble controlled the flow of the game on the field while the coaching staff directed the action from the sidelines. TODD HALL ADJUSTS QUICKLY TO CHANGES When Todd Hall began calling the signals in the Mustang backfield, he helped to de- velop the Mustangs into a mobile offensive unit. He quickly gained respect among his teammates and among his opponents. Todd led the district in passing in 1980 and in 1981 got off to another good start before being moved from the position of quarter- back to that of running back. Coach Morrison deemed this move necessary in order to better utilize Todd’s talents. As a reward for his versatility, Todd was selected to the second All-District team as a running back and to the second All-Ports- mouth team as a running back and a defen- sive back.

The offensive team tries to move the ball as close to their op- ponents end zone as possible in an effort to score a touchdown. The defensive unit at- tempts to keep their opponents from scor- ing by preventing for- ward progress by the opposing offense. In an effort to make things easier for the offense, the defense must allow as little advancement as possible.

Reluctantly, these programs were not cut and the J.V. program at Manor has become stronger since this consideration was heavily opposed. Many people, with the ex- ception of the players, the coaches, and the players’ par- ents, are unaware of such pro- grams at the high school level. Junior Varsity programs are designed to instruct the ath- letes further in their particular sport and to prepare them for participation on the Varsity level of competition. This is the type of training and com- petition that will make today’s young athletes tomorrow’s super-stars. Having their best record since the school opened (5 wins and 3 losses), Manor’s young gridmen showed that our underclassmen’s athletic programs have strengthened and that they have become more developed over the years. According to freshman Defensive Back Anthony Everhart, ‘“There has been a noticeable improvement from last year’s team.” Getting A Kick Out Of Soccer A relatively new sport for our school, soccer has a ASB?

The winning trend continued in the match with Wilson followed by a twenty-two point slam over Great Bridge. Phil Whi- taker scored twenty-seven points in that victory. The Mustangs often con- trolled most of the game as they did against Western Branch. The strength of the team lay in its ability to work as a team. Use of bal- anced scoring and skill in pacing the game enabled the Mustangs to domi- nate often as they did in their thirty-six point thrashing of the Truckers.

Cagers Seek Goal Accuracy we play the way we’re capable of playing.” The main problems of the past season were rebounding and a lack of size. The Mustangs had a small front line and this hurt them when the game got more physical as it did in the Fort Eustis Christmas Tournament. Hustle and in- tensity usually made up for these deficiencies. With a good bench, the Mustangs had the depth and talent needed against most of their opponents.

Senior Co-Captains Anita Cooper and Portia Rawles had the exper- ience, but the team members had to learn not to depend on indivi- duals. The record did not truly indi- cate the ability of the team. Portia Rawles felt that mistakes were made because the team was inex- perienced and lacked the consis- tency it needed. She did feel that the team had kept up their confi- dence and their support of one another. Learning how to work : together made the year success- —. ful. The girls opened the season with a convincing victory over Oscar Smith. A slam over Norcom and an easy victory over Cradock helped to build the team’s confi- dence.

Basketball AUTOGRAPHS Wrestling 167 The Young And The Wrestless The hours our young ™ wrestling team spent after school were filled with exer- cises, learning drills, and wrestling in pairs. Candi- dates for the team gathered in early November to begin working with Coach Charles Thomas. Their devotion to the sport led them to run- ning and exercising even during the Christmas Holi- days. Staying in shape and main- taining one’s weight were major challenges for the team members. Their efforts paid off as Vincent Pugh, Calvin Watts, Tony Brown, Dean Holmes, and Calvin Daye placed in the Holiday Wrestling Tournament held at Wilson in December. The season ran through February.

Wrestling 169 “Shout, Shout, Shout ...” “Shout It Out!” April tryouts were only the beginning for the girls who made the varsity cheering squad. Varsity cheerleaders had the responsibility of supporting the school’s athletic teams through winning as well as losing seasons. The spirit and energy of the squad was important to the team’s morale and to school spirit in general. The East Coast Cheering Camp and hours of practice in August were two pre-school activities. Instruction by cheering professionals was very helpful to the squad who became experts at cheering mounts and stunts. Pompom routines were also a part of cheer- leading. The Varsity squad entertained at the fa ll pep rallies. Community projects were just as much a part of the cheerleaders’ activities as school spirit. The squad, sponsored by Mrs. Seba Sheavley, enter- tained disabled senior citizens at a Kiwanis Club picnic. They also participated in a Walk-a-thon held in October for Cystic Fibrosis. The Oyster Bowl provided the girls with a chance to assist the Shriners in aiding crippled children. Several fund raising projects were held in order to help pay for new uniforms. Through various activities which supported the “Mustangs”, the Varsity Cheerleaders contributed much to the student body and to the community. 1982 Varsity Cheerleaders: Top: Tami Evans.

Whether working hard to learn routines and mounts or assisting the Varsity Cheer- leaders at football games, the squad helped to develop school spirit. The JV’s participated in pep rallies and they braved the cold to cheer the JV football team on to a winning season. Supporting the JV team and arousing school spirit were not easy jobs, but the girls did it with smiles and pep. A typical Thursday afternoon found the JV’s on the field supporting their football team. Sponsor Ms. Diane Burroughs accom- panied the squad to games and hel ped to keep their spirit up.

Remaining undefeated dur- ing most of the season, the Mustangs lost only to Great Bridge during the last dual meet. Lead by Mark Anderson and James Baker, the team had the best one-two finishers in the district. Clifton Brown and Terry Robinson often sealed the fate of the opposi- tion as they finished third and fourth to Anderson and Baker. In post season action, the Mus- Cross Country Knows No Bounds tangs placed second in the Ports- mouth City Meet and fourth in the Southeastern District Meet. Mark Anderson was the Portsmouth City Champion and he repeated his vic- tory in the District competition. He went on to place fourth in the Re- gional meet. The success of the team was due to the dedication and hard work on the part of the team and its coach, Mike Hillinch. The hours of running and grueling exercises paid off for this successful team.

Returning to defend his 1600 meter win in the Southeastern District, Anderson brought the strength and experience to the team. He was able to inspire his teammates to strive for individual as well as team victories. Getting in good physical condition was the first task for potential track team members. Training began with distance running. Aver- aging two to three miles a day, team hope- fuls began to build stamina. The weight room became important for shot-putters, discus throwers, and for jump- ers. Flexibility and muscle control were of- ten needed by the versatile Mustangs who often had to vary the events in which they competed. The major weakness of the team was its size which made it difficult for indivi- duals to specialize in specific events. Interviewed prior to the beginning of the season, Coach Scott Johnson said, ‘| hope that we get a lot of new and young talent to come out so that we can build for the fu- ture.” The overall attitude and determination of the individuals were to be the major factors in deciding if the Mustangs would capture a victory in the Portsmouth City Track Meet held in April. The reflection shows the strain and concentration it takes for Julius White to lift weights in preparation for competing in field events.

He worked year-round and carried team members to meets as far away as California during the summer. Crute often took the girls to the doctor and personally treated their injuries. His dedication and concern made him a “super” coach and one who had the respect and cooperation of team mem- bers.

Swing Into Action Bobby Bell’s experience and skill show in his ability to play well under the “post-season tournament pressures.” Having won the Portsmouth City Golf Tournament in the summer of 1981, Tim Newsom proved that he has the abili ty to perform well under pressure. 178 Golf 1982 GOLF SCHEDULE Sleepy Hole Great Bridge Stumpy Lake Stumpy Lake Stumpy Lake Cradock Indian River Sleepy Hole District Tournament As the 1981 golf season came to an end, Mustang golfers found themselves participating in the group AAA state golf tournament for the second straight year. Throughout the 1981 season, seniors Roger New- som and Bobby Bell felt the pressure of having to bring this young team of golfers through the post-season tournaments with a respectable showing. Al- though they finished seventh in the state tournament in 1981, the 1982 golf team had the ex- perience to prove formidable at all levels of action. The respect for Coach Brown and his desire to have a cham- pionship team have inspired the Mustang golfers to become win- ners. Serving It Up With Tennis With most of last year’s team returning, the 1982 tennis team proved to be competitive once again. Seniors Kenny Corum, Charles Ter- rell, and Tyrone Boyd proved tough in singles and doubles matches. According to coach Cliff Black, “‘We should be very competitive this year since the only area team with a returning number one player is Churchland.” rT NI The expression on Brian Bright’s face shows his concentration and desire for competition. 1982 TENNIS SCHEDULE Mar. 12 Wilson Away 16 Cradock Home 19 Western Branch Home 23 Oscar Smith Away 26 Great Bridge = Away 30 Norcom Away 2 Deep Creek Away 16 Churchland Home 20 Indian River Home 29 District Tournament 30 District Tournament pene May 1 District Tournament ae aac� The pride that Kenny Corum takes in his tennis playing helped to motivate his teammates.
