Yeah, I can see it now, sitting in my English class and my stomach growls, GREAT! Just what I need. There’s the ’ole school, another long day. Lunch is only 4 hours and 5 minutes away. Hey! What’s that . . . Donuts?!? How much? Only a quarter? Yeah, I’ll take one, the chocolate glazed. Say, you know what this means? Since they have donuts at school every morning, I can sleep an extra 10 minutes in the mornings!” Top: To raise money for SGA, Debbie Garcia and Kevin Bailey sell donuts every morning outside the school office.

They really pushed this message, encouraging teachers to take part in student activities, to help increase the already abundant activities, and give a new meaning to the word “chaperone.” A system was initiated where the teachers signed up to chaperone on a calendar in the main office. They could pick from various sporting events, overnight trips, concerts, movies, and dances. They were only required to chaperone a mere five events out of the thousands of events. Ms. Ann Marie Davis had these comments on chaperoning: “I enjoy chaperoning school activities. It gives teachers and students a chance to interact in a relaxed atmosphere.” Right: In his extravagant and humorous way Mr. George Lewis shows that even Bus Duty can be livened up. This was the first time any teacher dressed up for Bus Duty. Brenda Banks; Typing I Mark Bowersox; Government and U.S. and VA History Mary Buckley; Remedial Reading Dr. E. W.

Excuses, Excuses “Good Morning, glad you could join us, even if for a few minutes,” as you walk in late to 2nd period. As you slump in your seat, you watch the teacher’s face as she reads your excuse. “Please excuse this dear child, she was held hostage by some foreign exchange students.” You chuckle with the class as she reads it aloud in disbelief. So tell me really, what’s your excuse?

Left: One of the many, Dr. Howard, joined our staff this year as Director of Special Education and Special Services. Below: Dr. Aubrey, the Asst. Superintendent, discusses administrative detail while at a regular school board meeting with Renea Rigley of WPRW. It was widely known as a phrase that Bugs Bunny coined in his cartoons. Although it was also used as the title to a comedy movid and starred Barbara Streisand, neither had a Ph.D.?! Even still the phrase took on a new meaning when it was used as a question for some of our top school officials, like Dr. Gary Smith, our superintendent, or even Dr. Greig, our vice-principal. To complete a minimum of 8 years after high school working on a degree, only to have people call you ‘Doc’ seems unjust. Or does it?

The dull filmstrip on Early English Literature seemed to go on forever — no relief in sight. There is no way to combat this dreary feeling short of falling asleep. With your luck though, the teacher puts you in charge of turning the filmstrip. You are stuck listening to the drone of the boring voice from the tape recorder. When this happens — be prepared! Here are some helpful hints to aid in your ‘Battle Against Boredom.’ 1) TRY SKOAL and go smokeless! 2) Read the latest graffiti on the bathroom walls. 3) Drink Diet Coke — just for the taste of it! 4) Rock the upturned chairs in Mrs. Shockley’s room or Ms. Carius’ room. 5) Say “Chuck E. Cheese” 6) Become a ‘Waste Watcher.’ (Continued on next page) Administration Peter Egan; Principal Dr. Richard Greig; Vice-Principal Julie Lawson; Bookkeeper Iris Rinker; Attendance Clerk 24 Administration The Boredom Syndrome ■ ' ' ' ' • ' t .

The first year is always hard, though we all struggle through it. Being a Freshman is demanding; there are fundraisers and getting acquainted to the fast pace of high school life. But by the time you’re an “upper classman” you long for those free and easy days of “Freshman Life.” Responsibilities come into focus more and more each year, so hang on to those “Young and the Restless” days, and make the most of them while you can.

President, Bruce Cornwell; Vice President, Melissa Stewart; Stephanie Garrett, Secretary; and Sherry Weibel, Treasurer, helped bring the class of ’86 a long way. They started with nothing in their treasury, but by holding bake sales and cleaning lockers, made it possible for them to win the homecoming float and hall decorations contest.

And fight they did! Even before judging students from all classes were intrigued by the Freshmen hall, and the quickness and ease with which it was put up. In all other events freshmen tried their hardest to conquer. Being new the freshmen did have a handicap but that was more than cured by the wisdom of veteran class sponsor Ms. Pam Taylor.

There’s just one thing you should always remember — never let your problems and troubles drag you down. There’s going to be some times when you can’t forget or put it all behind you, but just try, and 1 know deep in a little sealed pocket in my heart it’ll work out for the best things in life. by Ke y Floyd (donated by Cheryl Cornwell) 34 Memorial o On December 6, 1982, at 2:30 a.m. a student of Manassas Park High School died of a massive coronary. There isn’t a person in this school who isn’t saddened by her passing. Kelly was only 15 years old. She was a very popular girl. In the eighth grade she was voted Eighth Grade Princess. She was such a friendly person. She could reach out and touch students who were both older and younger than she. She was sensitive to the needs of others and she loved life. Anyone could talk over problems with Kelly. She was a good listener. She always had a good word for you and in spite of her own terrible problems she could find ways of cheering people up. Kelly was a positive thinker. She put negative thoughts out of her mind. She never complained, she never allowed self-pity to creep into her thoughts. Kelly was the bravest person I have ever known. During Homecoming Week last month, Kelly refused to sit on the sidelines. Sick as she was, she insisted on making paper flowers for the Freshman Class float. She had to stay home for part of the week but her loyalty to our school was evident when she sat in a car by the goal posts to watch the big game. Kelly never gave up. She worked hard to keep up with her class work. She accepted her condition without bitterness and always found a way to enjoy life. Funeral services were held on December 9,1982, at 10 o’clock in the morning at Emmanuel Baptist Church. Our Kelly was buried at Stonewall Memory Gardens. Farewell, dear classmate. Cindy Pearson Mark Allen Wendy Anderson Keri Bandy Debbie Bates Alesia Blevins Darrin Brandt John Benson Andy Birdsall Learning to i Lead The Sophomore Class officers took the reins to lead their peers in the summer month of July. At¬ tending the SGA summer con¬ ference gave them a chance to get things together for the up and com¬ ing year. In September two officers and two Sophomore represen¬ tatives took part in the SGA spon¬ sored Day Quest. Day Quest taught them many ways to utilize a group effort. The skills they learned at Day Quest were tested in November when the class was fac¬ ed with Homecoming Week. The Sophomores passed with flying col¬ ors by taking first place overall.

We are the spirit of the school.” “A Sophomore is a wonderful person.” “A Sophomore is having fun and one of the happiest years of your life.” “A Sophomore is the time of deciding what you are going to do with the rest of your life. If you are going to college or just going to get a job. It is also when you have to wait 32 weeks for Ms. Whaley to give you your book report back. That is what I think a Sophomore y y IS. “A Sophomore is . . . very active . . . They go through a lot of experiences . . . They’re mischievous and adventurous, but willing to lend a helping hand . . . they really are nice people.” “You’re getting closer to getting out.” Don Lee Patty Lucas Tina Lucas Sharon Magnuson Lisa Maitland Robin Marks Becky Marshall John Marshall Joy Marshall Chris Martin Mike Mauck •4 Matt McBride John McConnell Lisa McConnell Brian McDaniel Sophomores 39 Vicky McFall Andrew Monroe Alice Moore Denise Moore Kim Moore David Morris Steve Mudrey Karol Muehl Beth Mullins Kelly Murphy Darrell Murray Harold Murray Cliff Music Scott Palmer David Poarch Rhonda Propst Mike Puckett John Prusaitis Yvette Romero Angie Rostin Sergio Sanchez Ronnie Shifflett Doris Shipe Ricky Slawson Sandra Slemp Kristen Smith Marty Smith Brian Stepp Kathy Stewart Nan Sung Timmy Tangen Gina Taylor Missy Terrell Teresa Terrell Teri Testerman Teresa Tiller Vivian Tiller Valencia Valentine Wayne Walls Laurie Warfield A.

We’ve previously polled the Sophomore Class and discovered what they think being a Sophomore means. We on the yearbook staff wanted to get a little technical though, so we flipped through our trusty dictionary and this is what we found . . . soph o more — 1: a student in his or her second year at a secondary school. 2: a person with two years of experience. 3: lowerclassman, underclassman, (see student) sopho-mor-ic — 1: exhibiting a firm and often aggressive conviction of knowledge, unaware of limitations. There’s the technical definition, what’s yours? Left: Patrick Hollyfield adds an artistic shape to Timmy Tangen’s hair while he and Brian McDaniel review art sketches.

Life inside the Junior locker was one filled with frenzied excitement during the entire year. Even before school opened Juniors began their climb toward financing a successful prom. Ingenuity led them to fund raise in various ways. “Sell, sell, sell’’ was the Junior Class motto. They made money on everything from a cleaned car to a cleaned football field. In between they sold bumperstickers, baked goods, spirit pins, and everyone’s favorite — candy! Left Front: Sue Pettitt — President, Kelle Connolly — Secretary, Mrs. Davis — Sponsor.

It took almost half the year to get students organized and ready for action. Once they were motivated they found out how fun and exciting the Student Government could be. Everyone enjoyed finishing out the year with a gala celebration. The celebration was highlighted with the initiation of new officers. The officers this year were: Donald Krolak — President; Chris Novak and Jay Burke — Vice- Presidents; Terri Bates — Secretary; Teri Tester- man — Treasurer; Tim Hall — Sergeant-at-Arms. New positions available this year were filled by: Kristine Whetsel (curator), Tim Davis (chaplain), Melissa Stewart (historian), Keri Bandy (doorkeeper), Debbie Garcia, Stephanie Garrett, Eric Plaugher (Directors).

The president of this club is Keri Bandy, a hard working leader who plans to see great results from the club by the end of this year. Keri is the first Sophomore presi¬ dent in a long line of Senior Homecoming Queens and club presidents, but this doesn’t discourage her one bit. “I feel honored being the first Sophomore president of this club, and 1 hope that I can do a good job and get a lot accomplished this year,” says Keri. “With the help of the rest of the officers and Ms. Whaley, 1 will.” Vice President — Patty Lee, Secretary — Kelly Johnson, and Treasurer — Dawn Brown make up the rest of the Good News Club’s government. The club went on a retreat with a group called Young Life. There were five girls from the Good News Club, and Ms. Whaley, who went on the weekend retreat to Hilltop, Maryland. To philosophize is to wonder about life — about right and wrong, love and loneliness, war and death, about freedom, truth, beau¬ ty, time . . . and a thousand other things. To philosophize is to explore life. It means breaking free to ask questions. It means resisting easy answers. To philosophize is to seek in oneself the courage to ask pain¬ ful questions. But if, by chance, you have already asked all your ques¬ tions and found all the answers — if you’re sure you know right from wrong, and whether God exists, and what justice means, and why men fear and hate and pray — if indeed you have done your wonder¬ ing about freedom and love and loneliness and those thousand other things, then the following pages will waste your time. Philosophy is for those who are willing to be disturb¬ ed with a creative disturbance. Philosophy is for those who still have the capacity for wonder. Join the Philosophy Club.

Mr. Streb viewed his portfolios and student work from the six dif¬ ferent schools around the country. He discussed financial aid, scholar¬ ships and campus life. The Art Club sponsor, Mrs. Knestrick, threw a surprise lasagne dinner in honor of her advanced art class and Art Club members for painting the school halls with murals. Students were rewarded for their effort, work, and dedication. 90 Clubs 1st Row: Mike Puckett, Mary Carl, Rhonda Propst, Lisa McConnell, Mrs. Knestrick. 2nd Row: Michele Weikle, Theresa Toner, Amy Dolan- sky, Lavonne Woodard, John Pumphries, Kelly Johnson. 3rd Row: James Horn, John Prusaitis, David Poarch, Margie Adams, Vivian Tiller, Darren Cooper. !

The Science Club is known for being academic. The club is designed to give its members a chance to learn modern science. It also allows them to discuss their thoughts on new theories of modern science. This year’s sponsor was Ms. Carius. The Computer Club is a new addition to this year’s clubs. Students interested in becoming a member had to submit an ap¬ plication to sponsors, Mrs. Davis or Ms. Whaley. The Computer Club is dedicated to promoting computer literacy. This year they had a speaker come in to talk about the computer careers, participating in the “It’s academic” competition, and visited a large computer company. While viewing through a microscope Sherry Hooker writes down her discoveries under the microscope. Tom Westphal uses his science book knowledge for his Biology exam. 92 Clubs It’s Academic!

This Chess and Checker Club is purely a “fun” and “low-key” group open to anyone who enjoys playing chess and checkers or learning to play. Individual or “round robin” competitions were held when the club desired it. A goal was to hold matches with other schools.

This is the first year that the book has had color and the year¬ book staff hopes to continue to put color in the book. This year at MPHS the newspaper, the Cougar Chronicle, was reinstated. The paper is put out monthly and is supported by the ads brought in by staff members. Mr. Bowington reads Sherry Hooker’s work to see how it sounds for the school newspaper.

This year’s squad received new uniforms and went to camp at the University of Richmond. They also had many changes: They had three sponsors, two new cheerleaders, and a new captain. Alice Fewell replaced Mrs. Dutton and Ms. Rosen as sponsor and Cindy Donahue became the new co-captain. Carla Gentry, a J.V.

Their only win came at home against Quantico when they won 6-0. Along with this year came a few changes — new plays and new coaches. Coach Webber was head coach with Coach Farmer and Coach McElfish as assistants. This year the varsity team had 5 freshmen on it, which was a first.

To have both a varsity and junior varsity football program here at Manassas Park is a great accomplishment in itself. This year was what many refer to a rebuilding year. Coach Webber has stressed discipline, dedication, and hard work as basic ingredients to any successful football program. “If all of the football players would discipline themselves, and work hard on fundamentals we could have a very successful football program,” said Coach Ryan. There should be no doubt that the entire football coaching staff has dedicated themselves to work hard to achieve this goal. With this organization in place MPHS can rest assured that Cougar football during the 1983 season will be exciting. — Ryan Above: Front: Larry Combs (manager) First Row: Coach Ryan, Jerry Phipps, Billy Humpheries, Dennis Good, Brian Stepp, A.

Mike Spiller was the first runner from Manassas Park to cross the finish line; he was twenty-second overall. Cross country was a sport added to the list of sports at M.P.H.S.
