Editor’s Message In your hands you hold a memoir that you will treasure for years and years to come. It will serve as a reminder of the glorious years you have spent here at Manning’s School. It will remind you of the happy moments, the sad moments, disappointments and great success. This school magazine serves as a milestone that marks our growth, unfolds our imaginations, and gives life to our thoughts and aspirations. It unleashes a wide spectrum of creative skills ranging from writing to editing and so much more. Manning’s School has been a great place to spend our adolescent years, and as we move on, let’s remember our friends we’ve met, the memories we’ve made, and the lessons that serve as the building blocks to a successful future. And so, it is with great pleasure that the magazine committee presents “The Journey 2016”. For you we have worked hard to bring back an exhilarating flashback of the times spent here at Manning’s, the events and the achievements during our 5 year tenure. Happy Reading! Jhenelle Small

Chairman’s Message I am pleased to acknowledge the formation of the Manning’s School Development Foundation. This is a charitable organization governed under the laws of Jamaica. It is worth noting that donors to the Foundation will be entitled to tax relief on their donations. The Directors of the Foundation are all Manning’s Past Students. The Board is encouraging all entities that raise funds and/or donate funds for/to the school, to do so via the Foundation. It will work closely with the School Board and the school’s administration, to determine the areas of priority for spending at the school. A donor who has identified a specific project that he wishes to fund can be facilitated. Transparency, accountability and a much less ad hoc means of soliciting funds for the school, are obvious and clear benefits that the Foundation offers. By Law, an annual report stating source of funds, and how applied, must be prepared. More details about the Foundation and how it will be operated will be circulated in due course. We are seeking the support of the entire Manning’s Family, to ensure the smooth and proper administration of the Manning’s School Development Foundation. On behalf of the Board of Management of Manning’s, I pray for God’s richest blessing on all the Staff, Students (present and past), Parents and the wider school community. I am confident that the students of Manning’s School will continue to excel, even as I am confident, we will continue to receive the support of all our stake holders. Osmond Clarke

TRIBUTE TO

TEACHERS High school, two words that sent shivers down most, if not all, of our spines. Who wouldn’t have been filled with apprehension as soon as they learnt that they were about to enter unchartered waters? After six (6) mostly idled years we weren’t expecting our parents to send us to their own version of purgatory in the name of higher learning for five (5) long years. Then we were introduced to the teachers of this noble institution, who we would have sworn were demons that escaped from hell and came here to plague our lives with too much homework, projects and presentations to complete on a daily basis. However we were judging a book by its cover as the teachers had our best interest at heart and encouraged us to achieve our best, even when we would rather do otherwise. Our teachers are our ‘ladders’, who assist us in achieving our goals. Even though most of the time, you don’t feel that we are thankful for the one hundred and fifty percent (150%) you give us. We can never repay our teachers in any term, for their unending dedication. We the graduating class of 2016 say a hearty thank you for your immeasurable support and guidance. ‘BIG UP ‘and ‘NUFF LOVE’ Racine Scott 5 Crimson

FIFTH FORM

Year Supervisor’s Message I welcome this opportunity to congratulate the Magazine Committee for demonstrating such tenacity in the compilation of our annual school magazine. The 2015-2016 academic year has brought new experiences, new challenges as well as accomplishments. As the beacon in the West, our continuous mission is to educate, train and prepare our students to meet the demands of society. To the Graduating Class of 2016, I encourage you to start this new phase of your journey with a broader perspective on life; one which transcends self-fulfillment. As a nation we have been experiencing a decline in moral conduct and unfortunately indiscipline has become one of the most pressing issues in our schools. We need individuals in the world today who possess sound moral principles. Become an agent of change and exploit every meaningful opportunity that will allow you to have a positive impact on society. Manning’s School has laid the foundation from which you can enact this new paradigm. Remember also to rely on God’s guidance with the knowledge that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Go forth therefore with God! As a school family we must all engender a spirit of optimism. Let us work with zeal to build a dynamic institution and ultimately a better society. May God continue to bless our own dear Manning’s School. S. Thorpe

SIXTH FORM

Year Supervisor’s Message Dear Upper Sixth Formers: Congratulations on completing this significant milestone in your educational pursuit! Indeed, you are now armed with the necessary skills and knowledge to prepare you for tertiary level and the world of work. However, whether or not you're overjoyed to be getting out of high school or sad to take off, your journey has just begun. Don’t confuse the beginning with the end. Your education to date has been a dress rehearsal for your life ahead. No matter what your circumstances in life — where you live, the family you were born into, what happened to you as a young child that was beyond your control — NOW is the time to step forward into your own true self and begin the chapter of life that is truly yours for the making. The knowledge and skills that you have acquired at this noble institution and the tools that you have at your disposal are ready to be put to the best use for yourself, for those you love and for a host of people you are yet to meet. Never take for granted the opportunity to think, the privilege to serve, and the chance to make a positive contribution as you go forward. As you embark on this next leg of the journey, hold true to yourself. Remember to hold on to your value system, your work ethic and most importantly, your humanity. It is these qualities that will guide you further on your journey. Above all, make God a priority in all your undertakings – commit your ways to Him so that He can direct your paths. Walk good. Enjoy the journey! Stay the course! Jennifer Brown Sixth Form Year Supervisor 46

INSIDE THE MINDS OF GENIUSES

Jason Reid According to Ralph Marston, “Excellence is not a skill. It is an attitude.” No man has ever reached excellence in any one art or profession without having passed through the slow and painful process of study and preparation. This statement is quite fitting for the Top Male CSEC performer this year. This person is no other than Jason Reid, a former student of the Little London Primary School. He has always had an attitude of excellence and as such, has amazed us all by being successful in a total of 16 CSEC subjects in the year 2015. One may describe this young man, who happens to be only 16 years old as brilliant, intelligent or simply a genius. He however sees himself as a regular individual who seeks to challenge himself and to reach for the stars. Jason’s philosophy is “Life is all about choices” and goes on further to explain that one is indeed in total control of his own destiny, but it all depends on the choices he or she makes. When asked the reason for doing so many subjects he stated that his father had always wished for him to pursue the sciences, however he wished to pursue subjects in the arts and business as well. He decided to do the extraordinary and challenged himself to do subjects in all three areas. One is somewhat awed at his level of perseverance and determination. Jason is constantly motivated by the fact that with a high level of education, one may have the freedom to do all that they wish to do and also enjoy the pleasures of life, which would be not be achievable without a good quality education. He gathers his inspiration from a number of persons who include his recently deceased grandfather, ZJ Rush, Albert Einstein and also Steve Jobs. After completing 10 CAPE subjects, this industrious individual plans to pursue a business management course at the prestigious University of the West Indies accompanied by another course in either engineering, economics or medicine. Though still unsure of what career path he would like venture into, Jason is fond of the idea of being a Financial Engineer. Jason has received quite a number of awards from this institution: The Certificate for Outstanding Academic

When asked what advice he would give to students who doubt themselves, he stated, “Believe in yourself.” He also reminds us to surround ourselves with positive people who will push us to excel and not to encourage negativity. Jason Reid is indeed a fitting example of one whom students can emulate as he reminds us to always believe in ourselves and to aim for the sky. We thank you for your tremendous contribution to the Manning’s School and wish for you all the best in your endeavors. By: Jhenelle Small 5 Crimson

Trecia Montique Manning’s School continues to produce exceptional students. One such individual is Trecia Montique. This promising young lady who is 17 years of age began her life at this noble institution in 2010 after graduating from Unity Primary School. Upon entering high school, she was awestruck at the size of Manning’s School campus and even felt a bit inadequate to attend such a worthy institution. She vowed to herself, however, that she would make the best of it. She chose to do the Arts primarily because she loves to read and would be exposed to subjects such as History, which would enable her to learn about her past and appreciate her culture. Trecia is driven by her parents to excel. She stated, “I get up every day and go to school and work hard for them because each day they sacrifice to give me the education that they never had. I work hard to ensure that later on in life I can give them anything they desire.” This determination has enabled Trecia to not only be successful in her C.S.E.C passes but to be the top performer (girl) at Manning’s School where she walked away with an outstanding 8 distinctions. This illustrious individual is not only book smart but is also quite involved in extra-curricular activities at this institution namely Spanish, Reading, Key and Environmental clubs. Whilst still unsure of what path she will take in the future after completing Sixth Form, Trecia is somewhat keen on attending Sam Sharpe Teachers College where she will study to become a teacher of Caribbean History. This peculiar choice is influenced by her love for history which was developed from being taught by Ms. Frith in her 4th -5th form years. Ms. Frith, she confesses, was her motivation and became her role model throughout her senior years. Trecia’s dream for Manning’s is that it will continue to be a beacon of excellence in Jamaica, that it will continue to mould and nurture the life of every child that walks through its gates and that it will persist in producing students of excellence. The philosophy that she lives by is taken from the great Martin Luther King Jr. which states,

“If you can’t fly, then run, If you can’t run, then walk, If you can’t walk, then crawl, But whatever you do, You have to keep moving forward.” Whatever the future holds for Trecia, we the students of Manning’s School are certain she will continue be an exemplary product of excellence and that she will supersede the expectations of others.

end of a good story but now it was time to start a whole new chapter in our life. Fourth form! Finally, we are upper school students. It felt like first form all over again because we were back to having only one stripe, but definitely not with the workload! We can finally boss around the lower school students. Just kidding, we knew the penalties for doing that. We were now free from the cumbersome subjects that we had no interest of pursuing. Now the pressure of CXC was on. We were introduced to labs, SBAs and so much more. Teachers were constantly warning us to start buckling down for the test of our lives (for now) –the Caribbean Examination Council. The road for this journey was starting to come to an end. Fifth form…What a year fifth form had become. The teachers piled up the assignments faster than Barry in ‘The Flash’. SBAs to be completed, lab works to be handed in and practicals to do. There was hardly any time to breathe, much less to study. The rest of the school hardly saw us because we were always so busy. The final lap of our personal race was quickly approaching. Now was really the time to become focused. Of course, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy so Manning’s ensured that we had a string of activities to look forward to. Before we knew, it was already March. Mock Exams! Getting a taste of what CXC would really be like. Needless to say, it was quite a wakeup call of what was to come. The weeks leading up to CXC were hectic as we memorized all that we had forgotten. Now, here we are. The past few years leading up to this moment. Looking around at the marvelous people who have come into our lives and shaped who we are today. For the sixth formers, you have worn your white and blue shirts with pride. You were selected out of many to further your education at this institution and you have done the school proud with your achievements. For the transferees who decided that this was the school you would prefer to be, thank you for being a part of our big family and making our high school journey memorable. But like all the journeys of life, this one must end as well. Now we are all off to our different adventures in life, moving up and away. No longer are we gawky adolescents with no sense of self identity, these years have taught us so many lessons that we will never forget. The teachers that have been our anchors and our rocks, they entered into our lives and changed our ways of thinking. Shout out to Nurse for taking care of us and the guidance counselors for their support. Here at this school, lifelong bonds have been formed. Even though we are going out in to the world separately, this is not the end but a beautiful new beginning of a whole new journey that is filled with even more fun and more people that will have an impact on our lives. However, we will never forget our time here at Manning’s School. Farewell graduating class of 2k16 and good luck! Shari McIntosh 5 Green

she has been able to ensure her grandson's success at school. She is the only person working with Roshino as her husband is receiving medical treatment in the United States of America. Rosihdo was successful in the GSAT examination and was placed at Manning's School. Roshido loves Mathematics, Spanish, Principles of Accounts and Physics. At Manning's he had difficulty fitting in, but with his grandmother's help he was able to respond correctly to teachers, move from class to class following his classmates. He is afraid of using the stairs but he just followed his classmates as they moved from classes. With the loving care of his grandmother Roshido has been able to overcome numerous hurdles as she is extremely patient with him. She laughed as she recounted her experiences with her precious grandson. On one such occasion, he was asked to read the Bible at the graduation ceremony for School of Hope and his response was "can't they read it for themselves?" His grandmother responded â&#x20AC;&#x153;they can but they want you to read it." He wanted his own Bible, wanting to use his own and on the day of the graduation he looked for the text and he studied it on the way to the function and read it so well that the entire room applauded enthusiastically. At times she is unable to understand the cruelty of some persons towards him, as he has been hit often in the forehead and chest by his classmates. Other times he has been the butt of jokes and pranks played by his classmates. His childlike qualities would be displayed in the fact that he would often run alongside cars which he finds to be fun. He does not understand concepts such as danger and death as his grandmother has to keep the doors of her home closed in order to keep him safe. It is a miracle that he still loves school, considering all of what he has been through. One interesting experience his grandmother shared was that when he receives full marks for his work, he would say that he should not get 100 % again as it is not fair to the other students. He is considerate and polite, qualities that his grandmother taught him. His grandmother knows his timetable and he has a set schedule for packing his bag and going to bed each night. His grandmother has gone to the point of instructing him how to do his tests and exams. She told him that when the teacher told him to put his pen/pencil down he should obey. He has difficulty controlling his frustration and sometimes might push persons away when he is being questioned. He loves school and his grandmother would have to use this as the means of getting him to behave correctly. In the evenings when he gets home from school he would remain in his room on his computer either doing his homework or playing games. Roshido is such a loveable child, that he would hug his classmates but they would misinterpret his intentions. He is currently in third form at Manning's School and he wants to do every subject in external examinations as he loves them all. His last report for Christmas 2015, showed an average of 77%. The sky is the limit for Roshido Hines, and we want to commend him and his grandmother for the major accomplishments in his life and thank God for the tremendous sacrifices his grandmother and other loved ones have made. - A.

The Exit Of An Icon Just once in a blue moon does a wonderful teacher and colleague like you come along. This is a salute to our friend, colleague and teacher Mrs. Gloria Green. Hailing from the capital city, Mrs. Gloria Green, the first of six children, attended the Queens school and later the Shortwood Teacher’s College. She joined the Mannings staff in 1992 and served a period of twenty two years. During that time Mrs. Green proved herself to be a cut above the rest. She was not just an exceptional teacher whom her students could always depend on for clarity of content, but also a mother, a confidant and someone whom you could always depend on. She never says no. Mrs. Green aka ‘Greenie’, working with you was a great honor and joy. We will reminisce on your varied sense of humor, your warmth, honesty, peacemaking skills and exuberant personality. Greenie your retirement is a reminder that all good things in life must come to an end, however, you have stopped being a colleague but you will always remain a friend. Here’s wishing you success and happiness always. A colleague like you is hard to find. To the most awesome colleague and English teacher in the world. Bon voyage

Miss Manning’s 2016

Sara-Dale Smith

Vibrant ,articulate, multi-talented, intelligent and outspoken are just a few of the many words that could describe this promising young lady whose radiant smile and regal aura won the hearts of the crowd and judging panel at the annual Miss Manning’s Competition. This beautiful lady is no other than Sara-Dale Smith. What inspired you to enter the Miss Manning’s competition this year? I was inspired to enter the Miss Manning’s competition because of the encouragement from other people that I could win. Without that boost I would never have had the confidence to enter. How confident were you that you would win? In a competition you cannot lack confidence. You have to believe that you can win. If you don't believe that you can win who will?

What lessons have you learnt from this competition? From this competition I have learnt that confidence is key, not only in competitions but in everything you do. I have also learnt that helping each other is not illegal in a competition. Everyone needs a little brush up here and there and if you are better at it then why not help? Your performance in academics and co-curricular activities is exceptional. What is your recipe for success? Well, timing is very important so I must learn how to manage it. I cannot do academics all the time neither can I do co-curricular activities 24/7. What words of advice can you offer to young ladies who wish to follow in your footsteps? Believe in yourself. Believe that you have what it takes to win. It is a competition so be competitive and nice at the same time. Remember no one is better than you because God made us all. Everyone has flaws just in different places so just own it.

PAST STUDENTS WHO ARE CREATING WAVES

Gillian ‘Minka’ Francis 1. What is your most memorable event as a student? My most memorable experience in high school was at a school concert when a friend of mine and I went to perform. The reception was overwhelming. We went up and did a rendition of Beenie Man' “I Am Going Home On The Girls Train”. We sang "I am going home on Rasta man train" and the whole auditorium erupted. Even people I thought didn't like me were cheering us on. I'll never forget that. Lol. 2. How did your experience at Manning's impact your life? During my tenure at Manning’s it was a much disciplined school and even in sports I was always pushed to do my best and never get complacent. I remember once I thought I received an excellent report card only to be told by my year supervisor at the time, Mr. Dawkins, not to become complacent. I cried so much, I had really expected to be lauded for my good grades and efforts, until I realized that that was one of the best lessons anyone could ever teach me. I'll always be grateful to him for that. Never get complacent, always try to be better than you are even if you are already the best. All the knowledge and leadership skills I developed at Manning’s have helped to make my life the success it is today. Being entrusted with leadership roles such as house captain, netball captain etc. helped create the necessary foundation of belief in self and ones capabilities, skills that make achieving ones goals that much easier. 3. Who was your role model during your years at Manning's? I had several. Lol. My aunt, Sheina is someone I've always looked up to. She is so neat in her dressing and carries herself so well.....she's always taught me to look presentable and that how you bring across yourself through your dressing and mannerism will have a huge impact on your life. Miss Smalling was also another role model for me. She was my first form teacher and her nurturing and dedication to her craft has encouraged me to do the same with mine. My netball coaches Miss G, Miss Thompson and Mrs. Walcott, I still to this day revere these ladies. The dedication to help change young lives through experience in sports is so admirable. As a netball team we were frequently awarded with the most disciplined award as testimony to what they inspired in us. I admired all my teachers even if they didn't teach me. They were always noteworthy people to look up to. I had superb examples and they all contributed to our growth as students. We were one big family. 4. What did you do after completing your studies at Manning's? I've worked as a store manager for a short while. I partnered with a company and was a graphic and makeup artist and production manager there. Since then I've done several courses. I'm a certified media producer, a Feng Shui consultant, a life coach, a certified herbalist and I'm still studying to be a Master Herbalist. Of course I've also made a name for myself in the fashion world and I continue to expand my craft and talent among those lines hoping to M A N N I N G ’ S

one day provide numerous jobs for Jamaicans and put the Jamaica brand more out there in the fashion world. I am also working on a natural cosmetic skin and hair care line. 5. What was your biggest aspiration as a student at Manning's? My biggest aspiration was and still is to make people happy using several forums. Whether it's to help to beautify them with my clothing, jewelry and accessories, healing them with food and natural methods, empowering them with knowledge, helping to give them a peace of mind and live their dreams through my life coaching or providing entertainment with my music. 6. What inspired you to choose your career as fashion designer? Choosing to become a designer at the time offered me a sense of real independence. I could do something I love in the comfort of my own home and still be able to make enough money to cover my bills without stifling my creativity or being watched over by a boss. Honestly I was just working on a craft I love and had no idea my company would become a household and an international brand. 7. What is your greatest professional achievement? I would have to say the joy of being able to live out my dream. I was selected from a group of Jamaican designers to represent Jamaica, along with designers from over 40 odd other countries from around the world in a fashion exhibition put on by the Government of Germany. They were trying to get the people of Germany interested in fashion again. They were supposed to choose one outfit but instead chose two, and the display was supposed to be for one month but due to the overwhelming response it was extended for another month. I was also featured in a German magazine about fashion. I was also honored by the Cayman Government. They invited me there to conduct workshops and participate in their annual festivities a few years ago. I made the front of the Cayman newspaper while I was there. 8. What clubs and societies were you apart of during your years at Manning's? In high school netball was my life, lol. I ate breathed and slept netball. I was also on the volley ball team. I would've liked to have participated in other extracurricular activities but netball training was so intense and demanding. It was worth it though. The feeling of being western champions years in a row after working so hard with your team mates is indescribable. It is very disappointing not to be hearing about Manning’s in sports as much as when I was there. 9. What is the greatest change you have seen in the school aesthetic and culture? The lack of respect, ambition and drive amongst students in general and not just those from Manning’s is a concern. When I used to attend Manning’s we were the cream of the crop. Students don't take pride in their schools or school uniform anymore. They are not focused. Yes there are lot more distractions now but students need to realize what it means to sacrifice temporary gratification for long term success. 10. What is your message to this graduating class? Follow your dreams. It is said that 80% of people in this world live for other people. A lot of people are living their 78

parents’ dreams, living for society, doing things they don't love just to make money but are not truly happy. Spend some quiet time alone and think seriously about your passions. Also ask people what skills they think you are good at. Remember things are a lot different now. You don't have to choose one career. Most millionaires have several businesses. Don't limit yourselves. With discipline, hard work, dedication, faith and belief in yourself you can lead successful and inspirational lives. Learn about the laws of attraction and the power of positive thinking. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Treat others kindly and with respect. Develop an attitude of gratitude even for the smallest of blessings...and your challenges too....they will make you stronger. Respect your elders, protect the younger ones and you will be well on your way towards an amazing life experience. NEVER SETTLE FOR MEDIOCRITY! By: Kededra Dennis, 5 Aqua

Renovation Of The Food & Nutrition Lab As a Food and Nutrition student in the early 1990’s, I remember my time here in this Food and Economics laboratory. Upon my return as a teacher there had been little change to the lab. The unpleasantness of the lab’s environment as well as its inability to cater fully to the needs of the students led Mrs. Cohall-Bailey (H.O.D) to seek assistance for its renovation. In this new venture two main stake holders, the Manning’s Past Student Association (New York Chapter) and the Ministry of Education, answered the call for HELP and decided to take on this worthy cause. They saw the urgency of the need and sprang into action quite quickly by providing the funds necessary for the upgrade. Work on the official upgrade of the lab commenced in the summer of 2015 and was completed in October of that same year. The official opening ceremony of this new state of the art laboratory was held on Wednesday December 9, 2015 and saw many stakeholders coming out to support this accomplishment. The programme was a superb one and was hosted at the historic Thomas Manning building and was chaired by the vice principal, Ms. Megan Berry. The keynote speaker was Assistant Chief Education Officer for the Technical Vocational Unit, Mrs J. Latty Morrison. Mrs. Morrison hastened to remind us of the importance of Home Economics to the Ministry’s objective of every child graduating from a secondary institution with a skill. Her message gave a synopsis of the new curriculum mandated by the Ministry. Mannings School now serves as one of the institutions to pilot this skill based Caribbean Vocation Qualification Programme which falls under the Caribbean Examinations Council umbrella. She continued to praise the work of the team and the establishment of this new laboratory as that will facilitate this transition of educational innovation. On behalf of the department, I would like to express sincere gratitude to all those individuals who played a key role in the renovation and completion of the laboratory. The department is truly grateful for the opportunities this new infrastructural development will afford the Manning’s School community. Kimone Golaub (Acting H.O.D)

Zadique Carey of 5 Crimson is a published author. The name of his book is Zeus: The Rise of King. Book summary: The Titan Lord Cronus has overthrown his father the Primordial Oronus and has acquired full control over Greece and the entire universe, but on his last dying breath, Oronus cursed Cronus with a prophecy saying that one day he will have a child that will over throw him the same as way how he did. A hundred years have past and the wife of Cronus; the Titan Rhea has given birth to a son by the name of Zeus and sent him off to live with a small shepherd family far away from Mount Arthres/Earthrise before Cronus came and swallowed him up within his stomach. Over the years Zeus grew into a great Godly warrior, the evil of Cronus grew more when one day Zeus who was now living by himself upon Mount Olympus found out that his family except one out of his two adopted brothers have been murdered by the Titan army. His mother Rhea finds him and returns him into his father’s palace and brought him before Cronus and the entire Titan counsel who saw that Zeus was weak and not much of a threat to them and made him live within their midst in Titan’s palace upon Mount Arthres. Zeus then receives a potion from his mother Rhea and his grand mother Gaia to slip into Cronus’ drink so that Cronus regurgitates Zeus’ other siblings from his stomach so they can help Zeus to fight a war against the Titans and to bring down Cronus' reign once and for all.

SPORTS REPORT The Manning's Football Team Manning's School DaCosta cup team had a relatively good season this year in the DaCosta Cup competiton under the captaincy of Akeem Braham. The team was coached by Damian McCallum and was successful in making it to the quarter finals. In the first round Manning’s went up against Petersfield, Maud McLeod, Little London and Godfrey Stewart High Schools. Manning's ended the first round in second position and advanced to the second round where they played Spot Valley High, St. James High and Frome Technical. Once more they ended in second position which allowed them to advance to the quarter finals. After playing Marcus Garvey High and Vere Technical they were knocked out of the competition by St. Elizabeth Technical High. The Manning's Under 16 football team was coached by Courtney Hughes. The team progressed from the opening round and eventually lost in the quarter final round to the eventual champions, Munro. The Under 14 football team unfortunately did not make it out of the first round.

The Manning’s Junior Netball Team The Manning’s Junior Netball team coached by Ms. K. Kessna, did fairly well in the ISSA Under Sixteen Netball competition under the captaincy of J. Hewitt. In the first round of the competiton the team competed against Frome Technical, Godfrey Stewart, Maud McLeod and Petersfield High Schools. Manning’s was one of the two schools which advanced form the preliminary round in second position behind Frome Technical. The team did not have a strong showing in the second round as they only won two of five matches played, hence they were eliminated. 86

The Manning's Cricket & Female Volleyball Teams The Manning’s cricket team struggled and did not make it out of the group stage however they had good matches with impressive performances at intervals.

The Manning’s female volleyball team won the Western Championship and advanced to the all island finals where they were placed third. The male team came second in the western region however they did not make it through to the all island finals. Track and Field was reintroduced to the school this year. The track and field team performed creditably well at the Western Championships placing 8th out of 44 schools. However, they were not as successful at the national championships. Conclusively, it is safe to say we had a fairly good year where sports is concerned and it wouldn't have been possible without the students. Tiffany Salabie - 5 Blue

Paradise Poverty Jamaica is a paradise poverty Here some of our brothers and sisters Afford to eat healthy they can only Sit under a ackee tree and pray for it to come season.

A Friend Today I found a friend Who knew everything I felt She knew my every weakness And the problems I’ve been dealt She understood my wonders And listened to my dreams She listened to how I felt about life and love She knew what they all meant Not once did she interrupt Or tell me I was wrong She listened to all my problems And promise she’d stay long

Jamaica is a paradise poverty Tourist come here off the big iron bird And open the airport doors and what do They see, garbage and mad people strolling the streets.

I reach out to this friend To show that I care Then to realize that this perfect friend Wasn’t really there.

Jamaica is a paradise poverty Government doesn’t care it’s like slavery All over again, people had to work and don’t get much pay that’s just cruelty, Jamaican people get up, step up and make Jamaica the best paradise country it could ever be.

Once upon a time, there was a donkey. It was a stupid, stubborn old donkey and even the farmer who owned it didn’t like him. The farmer owned a large property and one day he heard in the distance the loud, distinctive “eye-ore, eye-ore” of the donkey. He wondered what the stupid donkey had done now, so he looked all over his property until at last he found the animal at the bottom of an old abandoned well. Exasperated, the farmer rang his neighbours and asked them each to bring a shovel. He’d had enough of the stupid donkey, so he had decided to bury it in the well. All of his friends came over and together they started to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey protested loudly, braying with all of his might, but after about 10 minutes, he stopped. The farmers kept shoveling. After a while, someone decided to have a look into the well to see what had happened to the donkey. What he saw astonished him. Instead of being buried, the donkey would dodge the incoming dirt, standing on the ever-increasing mound. Now the mission changed and the farmers went from trying to bury the donkey to trying to save him, shoveling more and more dirt into the abandoned well until he jumped out of the top victorious. Upon his release, the farmers all dropped their shovels and applauded the old stubborn beast with a newfound admiration. There are times in life when it seems as though we are that donkey. Trapped and feeling as though life is trying to bury us. Don’t go under, but continue to find a way to overcome your challenges one at a time until you too emerge victorious. (Adapted) 88

Scammers. They are seemingly everywhere. Despite its indisputably immoral nature, the lottery scam industry is booming and its champions are ubiquitous in what is apparently their uniform: long football socks, long-sleeved sweaters and pants that swing loosely off their waists. These persons are almost always flamboyant with their illgotten wealth, driving to the nearest of destinations in top-range, expensive cars. The glittering surface of these scammers’ lives attracts the young generation but is it really worth eschewing good morals and education? This industry centres on deceiving people into sending their hard-earned money to the ruthless scammers who often prey on foreigners, particularly Americans, who possess a different culture than that of Jamaicans. These unseen people are very much real and are devastated when they are victims of this unthinkable act. It is often their life savings, retirement funds, etc. that they send to the scammers and the seriousness of their plight paints Jamaica black on an international scale. Many of the people who are involved in the lottery scam industry are youths who are clearly of a particular socio-economic background. It can be observed that the majority of these persons possess little or none of the qualifications that are required for them to pursue tertiary education. Obviously, these youths either do not have the resources or interest in doing so. Therefore they turn to a means of making “easy money” by indulging in a despicable trade which victimizes others. It is truly sorrowful indeed that even students enrolled in secondary school are perpetrators of this illegal act. They are confident that their spoils will buoy their future prospects of having a life of ease and comfort. Some insist that due to financial constraints, scamming is one of the more palatable ways out of poverty. They clearly do not comprehend the true value of a solid education. With a good education, one is eligible for the job market and when one is settled into a career, satisfaction can be felt, knowing that every dollar earned is due to hard work, dedication and determination. There have been people from slums and ghettoes who reached the pinnacle of success in this way without ever scamming, despite numerous challenges and trials. It is evident that taking this route is longer and harder than simply conning people with the aid of modern technology, but it is worth not being sent to prison and being labelled as a criminal. Without a doubt, scamming is a product of sloth, the desire to remain idle and exert one’s self as little as possible. So, like the worst kind of predator there is, scammers destroy persons they do not even know financially, crushing lives, hopes and dreams in the process. Therefore how can it be a marvel that the practitioners of such a detestable field have such an alarmingly high death toll? 90
