10 Years Ago Manchester High School students competed in their fourth annual class competition day recently on the high school track and field. “The biggest thing today is to have fun,” MHS guidance counselor David Owens told students. Competition included pyramid building, obstacle courses and a “spree,” where teams of four students from each class raced around the track with a shopping cart picking up miscellaneous items. The first team to complete one trip around the track won the race. MHS teachers supervised the events and prizes were awarded to the winners. 25 Years Ago Two advanced theater classes at WCHS took part in a mock disaster drill in Warsaw recently, sponsored by the Kosciusko Community Hospital safety committee.
