“So that respect and tolerance is learned very early on,” said Manes. “I’ve traveled the world from Afghanistan to Georgia to Korea. I’ve seen so many different cultures and if you do not have respect for other people’s culture, you will not succeed in life because everybody is different.

For example, Vernon Voelker turned 18 during his senior year, having missed a year of school due to a child-hood illness. Unfortunately, Vernon was yanked out of school by our Logan County Draft Board, much to the chagrin and protest by MPTHS Principal, Lloyd Hargis. Finally, stars indicate the KIA’s, some of which have fallen off.
