There were many new teachers to arrive this year, and some new courses. The year got off to a good start with a winning football season and a spirited homecoming week. Homecoming brought some different and new days that added to the spirit of the week even more. That week everyone seemed to get in the act.

What a beautiful day for a quiet stroll through memory lane. When the students returned to school, they found that many changes had occurred in the school. Old teachers had left before students had the chance to say their good-byes and last year ' s vice-principal had become this year’s princi¬ pal. A new vice-principal and many new teachers, including a new librarian, were added to the rank-and-file. Two new classes, Oceanography and Computer Programming, were added to the curriculum, and Chemistry was replaced by Physics. More students had to ride to Osbourn High School this year because most of the language and science classes were moved over there. The old smoking lounge was replaced by a new fenced-off gravelled area with two picnic benches. The marching band got new uniforms and the library ac¬ quired seven new computers. A parking and maneuvering area was marked off for the students taking driver education, and the lockers in the locker rooms were unbent and fixed. And for the first time, an outside senior lounge was set up between the 200 and 300 wings, but that only lasted for about two weeks. Freda Metz plays her heart out for the cougars. Student Life 11 Our Spirit Will Never Die Jay Burke is down, but never out. p - The Seniors show their superior spirit at the pep rallies. Kelle Connolly enjoys the music at a Dressingupforschoolfunctionsisjustoneof dance after a football game. the many ways that Chrissy Proffitt shows her school spirit. 12 Student Life The spirit of Manassas Park High School is out¬ standing and exceeds that of the surrounding schools by far. Not only during homecoming week are we spirited, but also during the rest of the year. Our school spirit shines through at our football and basketball games, track meets, band concerts, and especially our pep rallies. Even our teachers are spirited and actively take part in school activities. Each of us, in our own way, is proud to be able to say, l go to Manassas Park High School. Dr. Creig supports the school at the football games. The Marching Cougars strut their stuff. Jenny Garmer gets ready to enjoy a great dance as Mr. Freeman looks on. Let ' s hear it for the Junior spirit, Go! Fight! Win! Student Life 13 BREAKING THE MONOTONY Matt Meadows and Ronnie Kidwell shovel sand during a break in their day. Roger Forsche concentrates on a project in industrial arts. Programmer Mike Harber stops for a minute to make sure he ' s doing the program right. 14 Student Life Tammy Davis checks out what ' s going on around her before getting a Coke. On a cold morning, Jack Keller and Doris Shipe start their day with a smoke and a Coke. Alice Moore and sandy Duvall check out an interesting article. Bonnie Martin and Beth Mullins have fun as they work in art class. Classes, books, paper, and pens occupy only a fraction of the average student ' s school life. When not indulg¬ ing in scholarly matters the students take part in the school ' s many recreational facilities, such as playing with the computers during lunch or just reading an in¬ teresting magazine in the li¬ brary. Let ' s face it! School can be awfully monotonous. So, to break this monotony the students find interesting things to do during their breaks. During lunch the students enjoy the talk in the smoking area and the Seniors enjoy the camoraderie in the Se¬ nior Lounge. Clubs, Pep Ral¬ lies, and sports help to make the day more interesting, as do Jay Burke ' s morning announcements and Dr. Creig ' s memos. Every day something hap¬ pens to make that day a little bit more bearable. For some, getting into trouble is the best way to break up the day. For others, all they can hope for is that a train delays their bus trip back from Osbourn. Warming up for practice, Robert Dillinger and Matt McBride check over their tunes. Student Life 15 THE THREE R ' S READING WRITING AND ARITHMETIC When the students can find nothing else to do, they stay in their classrooms. The classes at the high school range from the required courses such as En¬ glish, Math, and History to the more particular courses such as Cosmetology, Foreign Languages, and Distributive Education. Our high school pro¬ vides courses for both the academically minded stu¬ dent and the vocationally minded student. The guidance counselors are a great help to students trying to decide on a career and the teachers at the high school double up as friends, it is easy to see why our high school was cited for its excellent atmosphere, it is truly a fun place to learn. Yolanda Shrout practices on her mannikin head. Dawn Brown, Gail Valdez and Lucille Williams talk to Mrs. Rushdi about old times. Concentrating in individual projects, the art students More room in the new computer room show their creativity. gives Yvonne Romero more room to work on her project. 16 Student Life GUIDING LIGHT Faculty 17 ADMINISTRATORS Dr. Cary Smith, Superintendent 18 Faculty Dr. Richard Greig, Principal Mr. Robert Horn, Asst.

Seniors 31 The Senior activities for this year started with the float parties at some of the seniors’ houses during Homecoming Week. The money for these parties and the float materials came from lollypop and cookie sales. There was a letdown at the beginning of the year when the Senior Trip was not given the consent of the school. Even with this cancellation the senior spirit wasn’t broken. The class won the hall decorations competition and they were also awarded the spirit stick at the Pep Rally, all during Homecom¬ ing. Despite a great effort, the powder puff football score remained 0-0. Kevin Bailey shows his Senior Spirit on hat day.

Wright, Dawn Yaider, Dana Terrell, Teresa ONE LIFE TO LIVE Juniors 53 cn O The Making of a Prom The Junior class officers spent most of their eleventh year in school preparing for the Junior- Senior Prom. This annual event sent them into a frenzy, as it has most Juniors in the previous years. Their main concern was raising enough money to put on a good Prom. The class fund was en¬ larged by the sale of jewelry, doughnuts, spirit links and tickets for the Powder Puff game. Besides fundraising, many big decisions had to be made. The of¬ ficers and involved classmates spent many hours in meetings choosing the prom theme, colors, song, decorations, band, and the list goes on. Their hard work paid off in the long run. The results, an enjoy¬ able evening.

Homecoming ... a grueling week of competition came to an end leaving the Juniors in fourth place. Using the Walt Disney char¬ acters Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs the class put a lot of effort into their hall and float decora¬ tions. Powder Puff was the event they most looked forward to, this being their first time playing. Everyone agreed that the role re¬ versal was great but the game didn ' t last long enough. The game ended with the Juniors and Seniors at a zip score. The Annual Homecoming Parade gives students a chance to show off their hard work and school spirit to the citizens of Manassas Park. — 31 - 11 1 m John Pumphrey Yvette Romero Angela Rostin Bonnie Rowe Ronnie Shifflett Doris Shipe Ricky Slawson Sandy Slemp Kristen Smith Brian Stepp Kathy Stewart Timmy Tangen Gina Taylor Teri Testerman Vivian Tiller Wayne walls Lori Warfield Kris Wentz SETH MULLINS I Junior Homecoming Princess Beth Mullins warms a chilly November day with her friendly smile.

Connie Breeden practices the skill of perming for her future profession as a hair stylist. Looking Forward When asked “What do you look forward to next year? most Juniors ' response was graduat¬ ing. Turning eighteen and having more freedom was another pop¬ ular answer. Many Juniors antici¬ pate using the Senior Lounge, playing sports, and being finished with a lot of the required courses.

Other reasons for watching soaps was to sit down and unwind after school and because they’re interesting. waiting for the bell to ring Lisa Keen converses with her classmates. 68 Sophomores ALL MY CHILDREN F R E S H M E N Freshmen 69 The Freshman class officers: Tina Bartlett, Secretary; Tammy Peacoe, Treasurers ' Assistant; Wanda Yates, Treasurer; Sarah Stallard, President; Patti Simmons, Secretary ' s Assistant.

Polled Freshmen found class- work, exams, and peer pressure the most challenging obstacles during their first year in high school. On the other hand, Freshmen felt that leaving Middle school opened doors of independence. Getting involved in their choice of high school sports and activities was a big step toward asserting their independence. As one stu¬ dent remarked, Starting high school was like coming to a new school.

This year there weren ' t Homeroom repre¬ sentatives, but SGA was made up of class officers and club officers. SGA’s big activity for the year was Homecoming. The SGA did most of the work by setting up the rules, doing all the organizing and sponsoring the dance after the game. They also organized the halftime show. Another activity they did was Operation Turkey, a canned food drive for Thanksgiving. At Christ¬ mas time they had a door dec¬ orating contest. The SGA also planned to have another dance and blood drive. This year not many demands were made by clubs asking for days for activities. The clubs have not been very active because of their late start which has created a lack of interest. The Student Government is what the students make it. The National Honor Society did not start until January. At that time they started filling out forms for scholarships. National Honor Society is made up of Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors who are eligible. Students are selected by a fac¬ ulty council.

This year MPHS has an all new newspaper. The name has been changed to Cougar Journal in¬ stead of last year ' s name, the Cougar Chronicle.The paper is free of charge to the student body and is paid for by MPHS. The newspaper, for the first time, has been considered a class to all in¬ terested students. This class is combined with the yearbook. With up-to-date news stories, fea¬ ture articles, editorials, and many other newsworthy items, the newspaper has been a great success. Under a new sponsor, Ms. Davin, and a new Editor, Darrell Fritter, and a staff of 15 people and growing, the issues of the newspaper can be considered MPHS Cougar classics.

The choir and band performed with the Drama Club. They also started off with a bake sale, in early Novem¬ ber. Another play was The Storm, which was about a man who was involved in a car accident in which he killed a woman and child. The other play was A Date For Bobby Socks, which is a comedy about a girl who goes out and comes in late because of all these things that happened.

The Library Club is not a regular club, it doesn ' t meet as a whole group. The Library Club is made up of library aides which the library couldn ' t operate without. They circulate over 5,000 books a year. The aides not only shelve books, but also cut out magazine clippings, write overdues, straighten shleves, file back issues of magazines, and run errands. Mrs. Dyess is a new sponsor and plans to make it more like a club next year.

This year ' s Band program has been very successful, under the direction of Mr. Alan Freeman the Concert Band, Jazz Band, and Marching Band have had an eventful year. The Con¬ cert Band ' s schedule has been filled with Fall, Christmas, Spring and Win¬ ter concerts. The traditional ex¬ change trip, which was held with J.l. Burton High School, highlighted the band ' s successful year. The Jazz Band, underthe new name Jazzmanian Devils, put on exciting performances for audiences. The Manassas Park High School Cougar Marching Band has become one of the finest marching bands in the area. Starting out with the te¬ dious Marching Band Camp which was held in August, the Band has play¬ ed at many parades this year. The Mar¬ ching Band won second place and the Flag Corps third place in the Front Royal Parade. The Marching Band has also performed exciting halftime shows.

DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America) is designed to complement and enrich the development of occu¬ pational competence for careers in marketing and distribution; to prom¬ ote understanding and appreciation for the responsibilities of citizenship in our free enterprise system; and to provide an avenue for leadership and self development. DECA strives to achieve its purposes by encouraging student participation in competitive events, sales projects, officer training and social activities (Employer- Employee Banquet), in addition, the program helps students better understand the dignity of work and the responsibilities that accompany employment, thus, developing future business leaders in marketing and distribution. Officers: President — Doris Shipe, V. President — Teri Testerman, secre¬ tary — Cindy Hatfield, Treasurer — Tammy Milbourne, Reporter — Beth Mullins. The Good News Club started off with no sponsor this year. But after asking several teachers, all of whom had responsibilities and could not sponsor the club, Mrs. Pinckard agreed to take over as the sponsor. The club was to meet after school and that presented a problem for some students in the Good News Club. The club was able to get enough students together to bake cookies af¬ ter school for Christmas gifts for the entire school. The students in the club stayed after several days to bake, wrap, and make tags.

The Science Club is an academic club, but like the other clubs it got a late start this year. The Sci¬ ence Club had many speakers come to the library, where they met at night. The club met then because the officers worked right after school. The club planned to go to Goddard Space Flight Cen¬ ter and science seminars. They also planned a trip to D.C to the Air and Space Museum at the Smithsonian. This year ' s sponsor is Mr. Shirkey and the officers are: President — Kelly Price, Vice- President — Becky Bates, Secre¬ tary — Sherry Hooker, Treasurer — Debbie Bates.

VICA 95 To philosophize is to wonder about life — about right and wrong, love and loneliness, war and death, about freedom, truth, beauty, 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 painful questions. But if, by chance, you have already asked all your questions and found all the answers — if you ' re sure you know right from wrong, and whether Cod exists, and what justice means, and why men fear and hate and pray — if indeed you have done your wondering about freedom and love and loneliness and those thousand other things, then these pages will waste your time. Philosophy is for those who are willing to be disturbed with a creative disturbance. Philosophy is for those who still have the capacity for wonder.

Trying to cheer and not miss a play, Michelle Cray watches for a Cougar score. Don’t let the face fool you! Cheryl Cornwell is just cold. Our varsity cheerleaders worked hard this year practicing three times a week after school for about two hours each day. I thing they’re pretty terrific, says Mrs. Fewell, head sponsor of this year ' s varsity cheerleaders. The cheerleaders work hard to please the school and to cheer for the teams. They get no recognition, says Mrs. Fewell. It ' s like they’re not even there. They should be noticed and appreciated but she ' s still proud of them. The squad, states Mrs. Fewell, is a whole lot better than last year. They get along better and learned to work things out.” They had several fundraisers such as bake sales, selling buttons and ribbons, and they also had a bazaar on November 5. The squad plans (and hopes) to be bigger and better next year. Cheerleading is fun. says Michele Weikle. You get to meet a lot of people and enjoy yourself all year.” Michele ' s goals for the year are to be the best she can be and help others do the same. Cheerleading may be tough, but it ' s worth it.

Norma Lanham and Susan Smith add a big finish to the routine. This year’s flag corps has performed well in their half-time routines. Participating in flag corps is a challenge. It requires practice, time and hard work. This year ' s flag corps has had great routines and the members have worked hard to produce them. Captains this year are Sandy Morris and Robin Marks. Both have returned from last year ' s squad. The squad received new uniforms and flags this year. They raised money to pay for these by selling pizza kits and having car washes. The band participated in these fundraisers and in return received new band uniforms also. Manassas Park High School Flag Corps: Bottom row — Susan Smith, Stephanie Goolsby, Robin Marks.
