The Gift Of Life It only hurts for a little while Mr. Mitchell! Some students went to great lengths to avoid finding themselves “‘stuck”’ on Blood Drive Day. However, most just grit- ted their teeth and rolled up their sleeves in true Mustang spirit. Due to an increased need for blood in the community, Manor held both a fall and spring blood drive this year. When the final count was in, nearly one- hundred students gave blood, with no fa- talities reported. tlds, ii The Symbol Of Class Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors all have one thing in common, they are not FRESHMEN! Howev- er, one of the most important things was the ordering and receiving of the class ring. The excitement was extremely high when the students received their rings and began to compare the stones as well as the sides. Even though the students may have compared and commented on their rings, they still were proud to own a Class ring because it marked a new milestone in their education. Cash in hand, Cynthia Graddy prepared to make her ring order final. 16 Student Life

A Time To Review, A Time To Learn Above: The square provided a place for studying as people finished Below: Studying Driver’s Ed in the library was Scott Corvello’s main their homework from the night before. concern during a break. Studying: Some people preferred absolute quiet. Others could only “concen- trate” to the TV or radio. Whatever environment one chose, everyone had to study in order to pass. For some, studying was a cram session during homeroom. For oth- ers, lunch time provided the minutes needed to instantly memorize two weeks of notes. The frantic freshmen who nightly carried the entire contents of their lockers home in order to be pre- pared, contrasted with some sophis- ticated seniors who seldom removed a book from school. The library provided a sanctuary from the annoying disturbances in the hall. Juniors became very famil- iar with its contents as they prepared their first term papers. Favorite study spots at school in- cluded the steps on the square, the floorspace between the lockers, the area near the doors of the Little The- ater, and, of course, the classroom. 18 Student Life
