Manchester High School 7401 Hull Street Road Richmond, VA 23235 Title Page 1 Reflections: When we reflect upon this year, what will we remem- ber? Well, looking back, our year as Lancers began with the annual yearbook signing party. And for several weeks prior to the official opening of school, active Lancers were preparing for the year through sports, band, and squad practices. The S.C.A. introduced new Lancers to the school at Orientation, but nothing could quite prepare them for the unbearable heat of our unairconditioned school. Almost immediately upon returning to school, we exper- ienced our first big controversy. With construction occur- ing where the old smoking area had been, the administra- tion moved the area to the courtyard. Almost all Lancers were enraged with the Seniors topping the list. After a petition and meetings with the administration, the smoking area was moved. The Seniors had succeeded in preserv- ing the quality of the courtyard and their gazebo. After this controversy had blown over, the Juniors and Seniors prepared for the traditional Powderpuff contest.

The Lancer offense tries to score against a strong Varina team. 4 Opening Pages Into Ourselves The teams proved to be so evenly matched that neither team won but had to settle for a 22-22 tie. Of course, all did not revolve around extra-curricular. activities. Many people were fighting for their academic survival with the Seniors having most at stake. However, ; one there was one thing that proved the highlight of fall, would have to be Homecoming. Homecoming offered something for everyone. We may have lost to the Varina Blue Devils, but excitement charac- terized the week and helped Lancers feel good about themselves. With floats, princesses, male cheerleaders, and a new queen, we probably never felt more united as a school. : And as fall ran into winter, as the Homecoming Dance ss made way for the Sadie Hawkins Dance, our identity as a Ou school began to emerge. We are not, nor have we ever © been, a particularly large school with numerous state titles or very much fame. What we are is one of the oldest — county high school from whose traditions and excellence | subsequent high schools have copied. What excellence we have comes from the people who are part of Manches- ter High School. So as you, the reader, flip through the pages of our annual, think of it as a mirror, as a reflection of ourselves. : Contents .

This includes working experiments in chemistry and dissecting fetal pigs and white rats in biology. In fact, the science department gave approxi- mately 10 students the opportunity to see the launch of the Space Shuttle Colum- bia. Unfortunately, the Florida-bound Lancers missed the launch when it was postponed. Filling vacancies occupied the math department through most of the spring. Mrs. Yates, Mr. Hodnett, and Mrs. Par- sons all left for other occupations. De- spite the losses, it did manage to sponsor the math contest which was won by Mi- chael Pemberton.

A career day was held Friday, March 20, 1981 during the first three periods. After being polled for vocational interests, students were as- signed four lectures on different careers. Following a breakfast in the library for the speakers, student aids, and teachers; the freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors heard representatives from such occupations as photography, law, ac- counting, and computer programming. The visitors told the students what was required for their particular occupations, what kind of education they needed, and what salary range was to be expected. The discussions also included the advan- tages and disadvantages of the job and descriptions of a typical day at work. Us- ing displays, handouts, and short films, the speakers gave the students realistic views of the ‘“‘real’’ world. All dressed up and nowhere to go.

Offered this year for the first time were advanced place- ment American History, Socialolgy and two classes Practical Law. Considering that these new electives are only open to juniors and seniors and that all four of the courses are full, prompted Mrs. Caven- augh, department chairman, to remark, “We as a department are pleased that we have received such a wide reception for this experiment. Plans for its continuation are underway.” Keeping with the tradition of having guest speakers, Mrs. Cavenaugh invited several people to talk to her socialolgy classes while they were studying the con- cept of ‘‘Death and Dying’. Bringing in various points of view were a Morman minister, a Jewish Rabbi, a Catholic Priest and a Protestant minister. Pro-Reagan introduction.

Visiting French students talked to Miss Lowrey’s classes, explaining many of their customs and beliefs. Participating in the Friendship Force, Miss Lowrey kept one student from Costa Rica. The Costa Rican demonstrated folk dancing in the language classes. Continuing with this in- terest in dancing, the Spanish and French classes went to the Empire Theater to see the Mexican Ballet Folklorico. Furthermore, Debbie Musselman was chosen to participate in the Friendship Force exchange program. She spent ten days in Costa Rica in December. On the way to France, Harriet Spring, Amy Weston, and Mrs. Lowrey anticipate their travels. This French exchange student, points at a map of France as she describes her homeland.

Foreign Languages 17 Guthrie Shelton Star In Dr. Faustus This year’s fall production was Christo- pher Marlowe’s “‘The Tragedy of Dr. Faustus.”’ The play is based upon an old German legend about a learned man who, in order to acquire a higher position, sells his soul to the Devil. The play starred Ja- net Guthrie who played the minister of the Devil, Mephistophilis, and Chuck Shelton in the title role of Dr. Faustus. Both Janet and Chuck were making their acting de- but. Asked how she felt about her role, Senior Janet Guthrie said, ‘‘Since it was my first [acting] role | felt apprehensive at first, but then | got into the character and enjoyed the role a great deal.”’ The play, which was presented Decem- ber 3, 4, and 6, was unique in that it was a classical play. ‘‘l chose the play,” said Dennis Wrenn, MHS drama teacher, ‘‘be- cause | wanted to do a classical play. It’s been a long time since Manchester at- tempted the last one.”’ The production featured many other talented actors including Steve Melton as Wagner, John Hooper as Robin the Clown, Ricky Davis as Ralph the Horse Courser, and Harold Goldston as the nar- rator. Other characters included M. Weaver, A. Hotchkiss, A. Wannamaker, M. Meade, P. Ventrella, T. Richardson, S. Fisher, L. Cohen, D. Hernandez, K. Harris, J. Bucklin, S. Hill, M. Fore, K. Blanken- ship, N. Payne, M. Millard, M. Braswell, M. Wenbery, G. Sides, J. Brandt, S. Spears, C. Spence, T. Austin, M. Fender, and P. Thomas. First time actors, Janet Guthrie and Chuck Shelton starred as Mephistophilis and Dr. Faustus in the fall play.

It starred John Hooper as Finch, the scheming and ambitious business executive who climbs his way out of the mailroom of a hopelessly unor- ganized company to eventually become chairman of the board of the global com- pany. Although he has a book to help him in his quest for success, Finch must still avoid the boss’ bratty nephew (played by Ricky Davis), aless than All-American girl (played by Gwen Reid), and the plotting of a lovesick woman (Janet Guthrie) and her accomplice in crime (Betty Jean Snead). In what turned out to have been a de- lightful play, the audience witnessed a hu- morous account of the workings of any large corporation. It turns out that Finch’s successful climb is due not to hard work, nor to any ancient prescriptions for suc- cess. He gets ahead by following the sim- ple rules in a book called ‘‘How to Suc- ceed in Business Without Really Trying.”’ And as it turns out, these rules work. Bratty caffeine adict.

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY LIBH Pa ea the e VIRGINIA All Bands Have Shown Tremendous Hard Work The four bands, intermediate and ad- vanced stage bands, concert band and wind ensemble worked to produce two school concerts, Christmas and Spring. In addition, the wind ensemble participated in the District III Instrumental Festival this year. Playing a grade IV music, the group received a rating of excellent. The ad- vanced band presented the Parent’s Prom which has become an annual event. “The bands this year have worked ex- tremely hard and have shown enthusiasm for all their projects,’’ praised Mr. Ed Woolridge, the director of the band. Mr. Woolridge also instructs one class of gui- tar that has grown in popularity over the past few years. Christmas time Director Ed Woolridge conducts the band during a rousing Christmas carol.

The addition of Capital Swing made Manchester the first county high school to have an exclusively jazz choir. Capital Swing joined with the Madrigal Singers to sing at McGuire Veteran’s Hospi- tal while the Madrigals sang exclusively at the Governor’s Mansion. In the fall, all of the choirs combined to present Faure’s Reguiem. Other music pre- sentations included a Christmas Concert, a trip to James Madison University for Capital Swing, and a Spring Concert entitled ‘“‘Listen to the Music’. The Madrigals, Lance Singers, and Mixed Choir traveled to the District Ill Choral Festi- val, and after being evaluated by three very tough judges, all three choirs received ex- cellent ratings. All in all, it was a successful year for the choruses what with a new choir being added to the curriculum, and with the choirs bring- ing top honors home from the District IIl Cho- ral Festival.

The students learn how to profitably buy or sell mer- chandise, to understand fashion cycles, and to be able to identify different types of fibers. Mr. Wilder also discusses ad- vertising, sales promotions, and product displays. Fashion Merchandising | is mostly ‘‘how to sell’’, and Fashion Mer- chandising Il is ‘“‘buying and entepreneur- ship, the owning and running of a store.”’ The highlight of the year was a trip to the major fashion center of New York City. These classes also produce the school fashion show which is highly supported by local merchants. Can they be the same girls we once knew?

Business students, besides helping with open house demonstrations, also had a chance to visit the new Federal Reserve Building in downtown Richmond. ‘‘Touring the building and viewing a film were interest- ing,’ said Ms. Moxley, ‘‘but the highlight was seeing the security system and the ex- ecutive board room which has a direct line to the President.” Both the business and home economics departments utilized the availability of speakers in the Richmond area.

This was just the right time of the year as this new building is air conditioned. The first comment made by Mr. Swelnis after spending a day in his new classroom was “Cool’’, and then he just smiled. The new sections houses the drafting classes, shop rooms and an English class. According to Mr. Thomas, the building was primarily designed for voca- tional purposes. It includes such features as a wood shop with an all new central dust collector, a photograph laboratory run by Ms. Catherine Robinson, and a small engine room. Situated between the two shops are a foundry and a dustproof finishing room. A real mudslinger. Mrs. Loden lends a helping hand with a pottery project. Is it right?

It is a place where students prepare themselves for their planned career. The Technical Center, which is located across the street from L.C. Bird High School, offers such classes as Data Processing, Drafting, Electronics, Food Service, Nursing Assis- tant, Surgical Technicians, Horticulture, and Photography, just to name a few. Some Lancers attend Tech to prepare themselves for the career they will enter directly following high school, but most take their selected course as preparation for college courses dealing with their ca- reer choice.

These include archery, bowling, basketball, tennis, gymnastics, softball, and field hockey. The ninth and tenth graders also have units on alternating weeks of health, first aid, driver’s educa- tion, and mental health. The students get a chance to see shocking and realistic films that often leave lasting impressions. Dana Jolly remarked, ‘‘The film | saw on car accidents really made me think about abusing the right to drive.” The advanced P.E. classes have a larger variety of sports because they have to spend less time in the classroom. New sports for this year were aerobic dancing and fencing. The advanced classes also have the opportunity to take swimming at the YMCA across the road from Manchester. ‘‘Continuing with P.E. classes has really helped me stay in shape and be more aware of physical fit- ” ness,’’ noted senior Sheila Johnston. Volleyball? Well, not quite. This group of Sopho- mores enjoy a rousing game with an oversized ball called a ‘‘cage ball’. Barely moving at all, Scott Austin struggles to make one more pullup.

Unfortunately for the Seniors, win- ning and losing also seemed to be re- versed this year. In what is commonly re- garded as a ‘rigged game,’ a game where a Senior victory is regarded as vir- tually a birth right, the Seniors had to set- tle for a 22-22 tie. While the score didn’t exactly excite the Seniors, many other things did. Senior Powderpuff Majorettes, Lancerettes, and Cheerleaders kept the Senior crowd row- dy at both the Powderpuff Pep Rally and Game.

Then we answered a trivial question ina formal [dress]. Then after some discussion among the judges, they announced the runners- up and the winner.’ Gwen Reid was one of the names the judges announced as she was selected second run- ner-up.

Since then, she has been riding for seven years and spends an estimated four hours a day practicing. Sherry started riding horses at the Dou- ble D Stables. When she enrolled at Gill School, Sherry stopped riding for a while, but her love for horses wouldn’t let her quit. She soon started riding again at Kes- wich Farm and before long, she began to pile up an impressive list of awards. She has won first and second places in the Western Pleasure. She has won the Re- serve Championship at Gill School. She also won first place in the English Plea- sure Contest. Currently, Sherry teaches other kids how to ride and is starting to train her own horse in what she hopes can become the foundation of a career.

Besides having to rebuild a Prom-de- pleted treasury, the officers still had to worry about the ordering of caps and gowns and announcements, the Senior privileges (or the lack thereof), Bacca- laureate, Senior Banquet, Senior Assem- bly, and Graduation. The schedule proved tiresome at times, but overall, the officers enjoyed it. President Chuck Shelton said, ‘‘At times we felt like a complaint office. People were either upset about dues, angry with the administration, hav ing problems with | their announcement orders, or whatever. But we didn’t mind because that’s our job; we're supposed to heip the class when- ever possible.

With the filing in of the first seniors onto the gym floor, the first Senior event had officially begun. Chaplain Beth Robertson opened the assembly with an invocation followed by Senior Class President, Chuck Shelton, with his welcome and the presentation of the school gift. Then, after the mascots song, Class Poet Susanne Newman read her poem entitled ‘Our Time’. Carla Cash followed with her Class History which included a humorous comment about Mr. Thomas’ parking habits. The entire assembly was in honor of the graduating class because the long await- ed day was only ‘‘two weeks and count- ing”’. Early dismissals are a tradition on Senior Day.

The graduates listened as Class Presi- dent and Valedictorian, Chuck Shelton, told them that they must be unafraid to face problems in the future. Lynda John- son Robb, daughter of President L.B. Johnson and wife of Lt. Gov. Charles Robb, then followed with another short address. Following the two speeches, friends, relatives, and parents watched as each graduate received his diploma. Each gra- duate held different feelings, some hap- py, some sad, but each with thoughts for the future. A sky filled with caps and tassles marked the seniors’ last moments at Manchester.

As Junior Class President Lila Ghatak said, “‘All through the year, the Junior Class, through carwashes, bake sales, doughnut sales, and candy sales, has been working to earn money for the Prom.”’ Indeed the major responsibility of the Junior Class was to make this year’s Junior-Senior Prom a success. The Juniors had many firsts this year. They won first place in the Homecoming Float contest, tied the Seniors for the first time in a decade in Powderpuff, and moved the Prom away from the school. All in all, the officers seemed to enjoy their year, although there were only a handful of Juniors working for the class. The Junior-Senior Prom would finally end their ‘long and winding road.”’ Lois Davis Ricky Davis Sue Davis Mechael Dedeian Chris DeHart Patricia Demonbreun Lucy Dodson Deanna Donley Larry Douberly Mac Drane Beth Duffie Joyce Eades Don Eagle Russell East Kim Eastep Malcolm Edwards Laura Ellison Brenda Estep Nancy Eubank Mary Ellen Fischer Mike Fisher Michael Flinn Cynthia Foster Darry Gadomski 70 Juniors Da — Ga A “Long and Winding Road.”’ Junior Officers: Pres.

They edged out the Seniors by a razor-thin three points to capture the top honors. The float’s theme was entitled, ‘‘Illegal Cargo in Lancer Country’’ and featured a Bugs Bunny Lancer defending the Lancer for- tress from the Tazmanian Devil. The Ju- niors were, of course, estatic about this victory. AS Mark Lucas put it, “I’m happy because our hard work paid off.”’ Bruce Harris and Katherine Grady also had cause to be estatic. Both girls were chosen to represent their class as Junior Homecoming princesses. They rode in the parade which another Junior, Nancy Raikes, led on horseback. Many more Ju- niors added to the atmosphere as band members, football players, or spectators. Sitting on top of the world are Junior princesses Bruce Harris and Katherine Grady.

In a rare exception to the usually lop-sided contest, the Sen- iors did not win this year’s Powderpuff Game. The game ended in a 22-22 tie but for the Juniors, it was as good as a win. The September 27th game started with an eight point Junior lead early in the first quarter with Mary Ames making the first touchdown. Subsequent Junior touch- downs were made by Virginia Grady and again, Mary Ames, to give the Juniors a 22-14 lead at half-time. The Seniors held’ the Class of ’82 scoreless in the second half and scored in the closing moments to tie the game. Though the Juniors didn’t win, it was enough to say that the Seniors had been denied a Powderpuff victory for the first time in a decade. Perhaps this would for- ever dispel charges of Powderpuff being a ‘rigged game.” We got spirit, yes we do! Juniors respond to a Senior spirit challenge. Well-endowed.

For the Juniors, its no different. For most Juniors, this is their first year working, and everyone interviewed men- tioned that they went to work ‘“‘for the money.’’ They mentioned the increased money demands for gas, clothes, and dating that forced them to find a job. Asked why she works, Junior Lisa Crewy, who works at Roy Rogers said that she needed ‘‘money for gas and clothes. | felt guilty taking it from my parents.” Seven of the eight interviewed Juniors said that friends got them their jobs, and they admit that its a whole lot easier to land a job ‘‘if you know someone.” Not Surprisingly, all but one Junior made the minimum wage. The part they enjoyed most about their jobs was as Foxmoor employee Kathy Musselman said, ‘‘the people | work with.” The working Juniors or the so called “Junior Achievers”’ did feel they miss out on a lot because they work. As Jonathan Baumgart, a Ukrop’s employee said, ‘‘l miss Out on too many things that go on while I’m working.’’ Mark Lucas who works at Chess King said, ‘‘It takes up my weekends and its boring.”’ Nevertheless, as long as they need the money, the Juniors will continue to work. Yet, if one would expect their grades to suffer that just didn’t seem to happen.

It is open to sophomores only and is a kind of class government in exile. Representa- tives to the committee are elected from each sophomore homeroom and a chair- man was chosen by the homeroom repre- sentatives. This year’s Ring Committee chairman was April Garrison. The committee’s responsibilities were numerous. After the committee was cho- sen, sales representatives from several ring companies displayed their selec- tions and after much deliberation, the Ring Committee decided that Herff Jones Company would be responsible for the making of the high school rings. Manchester’s committee is one of the few area schools to change their school ring annually.

His sporting career at MHS includes football, basketball, and track. Of the three, Shawn's favorite sport is football. In only his sophomore year, Shawn Rossi had the honor of being varsity quarterback, and he helped lead the team to a 4-5-1 season. In the 1980-81 basketball season, he played on the JV team as a forward. His best 84 Sophomores Gr — Ho track event is the high jump. Besides doing well athletically, Shawn also does well academically. In the summer of 1981, he plans to attend the Governor’s School For The Gifted. He also was one of Manchester’s re- presentatives who went to Florida to see the launch of the space shuttle Columbia. Shawn is an honor roll stu- dent and is in the SCA, Monogram Club, Ring Committee, and Latin Club. Asked what he would like to say about himself, Shawn replied, ‘‘I’d like to think that I’ve dispelled the ‘dumb jock’ stereotype.” In his own world, Shawn Rossi appears to be think- ing about the day’s health test.

Biology; NHS Sponsor Although he has only been at Manches- ter for two years, Mr. Henry’s unique char- acter has made him a conspicuous teach- er. He frequently participates in student dress-up days and tries to dress more absurd than his students. Every once ina while he will hang up his lab coat, and change from Mr. Henry, chemistry teach- er, to Mr. Henry, Spirit Booster. If you were at the Sadie Hawkins Dance last year, you might remember Mr. Henry as the farmer who “‘unknowingly”’ slept in the ‘‘kissin korner.’’ Or you might have visions of Mr. Henry, the basketball play- er bringing a chemistry book to make a foul shot at the Student-Faculty Basket- ball Game. Or you might remember a horned and balding Blue Devil who got a pie in his eye at this year’s Homecoming pep rally. Asked why he does it, Mr. Henry replies that he feels school spirit is im- portant, “‘it improves the morale of the faculty and the student body.”’ Of course, Mr. Henry is a teacher be- fore spirit booster. He enjoys teaching 100 Faculty Ba — Co and in particular, likes contact with bright, cheerful, and enthusiastic young people. As Mr. Henry remarks, ‘“‘Helping young people to understand and appreciate the mysteries of nature is quite satisfying. Mr. Henry is helping young people in still yet another way. This year he is Ju- nior class sponsor and finds the responsi- bilities overwhelming. With his duties as teacher, father, sponsor, and department chairman, it seems remarkable that he has any time at all to cheer on his alma mater, the University of Virginia. Asked what he would like to see im- proved at Manchester, Mr. Henry sug- gested better school spirit, a greater number of students involved in school ac- tivities, and better communication be- tween students and faculty. He also men- tioned improving the physical facilities such as equipment and space. All in all, Mr. Henry is a big Lancer booster. His concern for many facets of school morale makes him an avid Lancer Fan. Re Sailor. Mr. Henry prepares his boat for an outing on Lake Brandermill.

She teach- es goemetry, calculus, Honors Algebra II — Trig., and Algebra | part one. Ms. Yates also serves as chairman of the math department. Born in Halyville, Alabama, she re- ceived her Bachelor’s degree in math- ematics at the University of Alabama. What she likes most about teaching is seeing the reaction of a student when “the light goes on; and he grasps a con- cept she is teaching. Ms. Yates feels, however, that students at Manchester are generally lacking in inspiration. She says the overall apathy and lack of re- spect among the student body is really depressing, and that itis really sad to see such a small percentage of the students maintaining the school spirit. In 1969, while expecting her second child, Ms. Yates began her hobby in painting to help pass the time. She has never taken any lessons and uses copies of photographs from magazines or pic- aS a ae Like a little girl, Ms. Yates peers above the ani- mals. Artistic touch. Ms. Yates painted this sports mural for her teenage sons. tures she has taken herself for ideas. Her favorite piece of artwork is one she calls, “Thanksgiving ’79.” It is a view of the James River from Drewry’s Bluff at Fort Darling. For her two teenage sons, Ms. Yates painted a mural of twelve sports scenes and famous sports figures. It took her two months to complete, and she used regular laytex paint for the mural. Asked what she would like to see im- proved at Manchester, Ms. Yates replied, “respect.’’ She says students, as well as teachers, should exhibit a greater show of respect for the property of our school, to teachers to administrators, and to the other students. She would also like to see an improvement in the pride, not only in our school, but also in ourselves. ‘‘Every- one, students and faculty, should take pride in their work and live up to the po- tential God gave us,’ says Ms. Yates.

Manchester's drama department is overflowing with talent. One of the main actors is Dennis Wrenn, drama teacher. He likes teaching at Manchester a great deal and says the faculty and administra- tion are very supportive of the drama de- partment. Mr. Wrenn began acting when he was five years old. His acting experience in- cludes productions in high school, com- munity, college, and the dinner theatre circuit. Mr. Wrenn has been assistant manager and resident choreographer at the Barn Dinner Theatre in Goochland for three years. You may have seen him in either one of his two productions he has had broadcast on local and national tele- vision. According to Mr. Wrenn, there is great- er potential in acting ability at Manches- ter than ever surfaces. Too many stu- dents wait until their Senior year to audi- tion for a show or sign up for a drama class.

There are close relationships that evolve between the students and the teacher in mounting a production. ‘‘The greatest thrill for me,”’ says Mr. Wrenn, ‘‘is to sit in the back row and see the play come together.’ There is a sense of electricity that runs through the audience when they watch the play. As someone had said before, ‘‘Opening night is worth the pains that the cast, the director and the crew have gone through.” ‘‘Admittedly,’’ says Mr. Wrenn, “as a director, | feel a little as God might have felt when he viewed His Creation.” In the Navy.

She is a member of the United States Army Reserve. She joined the Reserves for a change of pace and for an opportunity to travel. Mrs. Brown says she admires the military dis- cipline. So, once a month, from Saturday morning at 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sun- day evening, Mrs. Brown reports for duty to the U.S. Army Reserve Central on Strathmore Road. Her job is that of ste- nographer in the Command section. But to use a quote from another branch of the service, it’s not just a job, it’s an adven- ture. Mrs. Brown must also know how to fire a machine gun, throw hand granades, and jump out of six-foot deep foxholes. It’s a Clark Kent type of existence most of the time, but every once in a while, Mrs. Brown has the chance to show the effec- tiveness of our nation’s women soldiers. At Manchester, Mrs. Brown teaches Uncle Sam Wants Her typing and business in addition to spon- soring the Future Business Leaders of America. Mrs. Brown enjoys the continu- ous and difficult challenge of motivating young people in vocational and business fields. She also enjoys working with what she considers some of the best teachers in Chesterfield County. Mrs. Brown is bothered, however, about her students’ enthusiasm; approxi- mately seventy-five percent of her gener- al business and typing students are inter- ested in grades, not in learning or retain- ing knowledge. In her spare time, which isn’t alot, Mrs. Brown enjoys tennis, jogging and reading. Asked about any improvements she’d like to see, Mrs. Brown mentions a new library and vocational business wing. It would also be nice to go into clean bath- rooms and have enough classroom space to do away with trailors. Laura Trimble: Longwood Col- lege, B.S.; English 10; Memoir Sponsor Robin J.

Lancer Life 109 After The Final Bell When the final bell rings at 1:50 pm., Lancers go their separate ways to spend nearly 17 hours away from Manchester. What do they do in that spare time? Well for many Lancers, much of that time is spent still at school going to club meetings, practicing sports, making up tests, working on a drama presentation. In fact, if outsiders suspect that the school’s halls empty after 1:50, they are sadly mistaken. In fact, with the diverse range of activities offered, the halls lay quiet only late at night. When the bell sounds, many other Lancers go to part time jobs in order to earn a little extra money. Some people catchup on the sleep they lose by waking up so early; others do homework, but only when they have to. It seems that when the final bell rings, the day has only begun. Giving the camera a squint, Junior Randy Keys prepares for a Cross Country meet. Silenced halls.

The intensity of the yells and fierce competition could only mean that this pep rally would celebrate the annual grudge match between the Ju- niors and Seniors. Held in late September, the rally was the culmination of two weeks of foot- ball practice, sign making, pompom practice, and spying on the opponents. Each team was allotted three prac- tices. The Juniors chose Randy Keys, David Keys, Stig Owens, and Scott Staib to help with coaching. David Her- nandez, Bobby Dudas, and Timmy Wooten coached the Seniors. It was difficult to get organized, much less start practicing within this time; but somehow each team was ready. On Friday, the girls wore football jer- sies. The rally was the final faceoff be- fore Saturday’s main event. Signs were put up, and Seniors showed their spirit by decorating the Senior building and by giving each Senior player a Car- nation. The pep rally clearly was different from usual pep rallies. The crowd was rowdier, the football players smaller, and the girls uglier. Junior cheer- leaders included Glenn Sides, Antoine Thompson, Glenn Moore, Jack Bran- ley, Steve Melton, and Wayne Kish. Gary Burchett, Jeff Neblett, Mark Snow, and John Hooper were Senior Lancerettes. Seniors, Robbie Harlow, Robbie Seay, Mark Williams, Ricky Cundiff, and Jeff Robertson wore long johns and carried batons. Chuck Shel- ton, Gary Wallace, and Harold Gold- ston were Senior Cheerleaders. Final- ly, Morris Smith was Lanny of the Pow- derpuff Pep Rally. All in all, it was a wild but still con- trolled pep rally. The administration didn’t enjoy the Junior pyramid, but overall, the rally was a good way to prepare for the showdown the follow- ing night. RS Where’s the 0?

For the first time ina decade, the game ended ina tie. The Juniors took the lead most of the game with the Seniors having to play catch-up. The Juniors started off with an eight point lead early in the first quarter with Mary Ames scoring the touchdown and making the extra two points. The Ju- niors then kicked off to the Seniors for a negative eight yards. The second quarter started with the Senior girls quickly making up the differ- ence and sending the score into an 8-8 tie. Renee Ross scored the touchdown, and Gayle Pair made the conversion. Vir- ginia Grady returned the kickoff for six more points for the Juniors; the extra point attempt failed. Four minutes later, Renee Ross re-tied the score by making another touchdown for the Seniors. Their extra point attempt also failed. The half ended with Mary Ames scoring a Junior touchdown at the buzzer. She then scored two extra points. Complemented by selections per- formed by an all-volunteer band, the main halftime activities got under way. The five Powderpuff Princes, Harold Goldston, Courtney Goodwin, Mike Horne, Bernie Mimms, and Chuck Shelton, were intro- duced by announcer Barry Parham. Court- ney was crowned King of Powderpuff. The Seniors made the final points of the game with Robin Davis making the touch- down. Renee Ross got the extra two points to end the game in a 22-22 tie. Sideline huddle.

For a week, Manchester was asking that question. What is tomorrow? What should | wear? Are you going to dress up? It was all part of the Homecoming festivi- ties craftily devised by the SCA to raise school spirit for the Homecoming game. The five spirit days included Lunch Box day, Sixties day, Stuffed Animal day, Hat day, and Punk Rock day. Lunch Box day and Punk Rock day were new this year, and Sixties day replaced Fifties day as a part of the celebration. Lunch Box day was an obvious flop, but everything else seemed to get a fair amount of support. Of course dressing up wasn’t the only way Lancers prepared for Homecoming. The cheerleaders hosted a bonfire on Wednesday, the band prepared for its Homecoming show, male cheerleaders practiced, and clubs and classes worked on their Homecoming floats. As the week wore down, Lancers geared up. Princess elections were held, spirit ribbons and pompoms sold, finish- ing touches were put on floats. The Friday pep rally was the most school-spirited of the year, as Lancers anticipated a victory over the Varina Blue Devils. Chemistry teacher Mr. Henry came dressed as a Blue Devil complete with horns, and Lanny Darla Cash threw a pie on his face to symbolize Manchester’s imminent vic- tory over Varina. The game didn’t quite end as planned, but Spirit Week was a fun-filled five days that raised school spirit. Punks invade office.

Homecoming Spirit Week 119 Pep eee sees eye P Fall Brings Age of Elegance This past fall, the fashion merchandis- ing classes at Manchester put on a fash- ion show. The theme was entitled the Age of Elegance. ‘‘We wanted to use a theme that had not already been used. The fashions were supposed to be basic, but dressy. So we came up with the Age of Elegance,”’ stat- ed Mr. Wilder, teacher of the fashion mer- chandising classes. Asked about the major problem in put- ting on a fashion show, Mr. Wilder replied, ‘Organization is the key. It is the hardest part of the show, but we got through it without any major problems.”’ The classes also received help in prac- tice from Liz Porter, who is a model in the Richmond area. The clothes included such styles as early evening, casual, ou- terwear and formal wear for the fall win- ter season. Area stores such as Sea Dream Leather, La Vogue, Greentrees, Mitchells, and Jay Aldons contributed the clothing. It was the fashion student’s re- sponsibility to lineup, get, and return clothing for themselves and their escort. The outfits, including accessories, re- flected the high cost of clothing, with each outfit well exceeding the $100 mark. Students in charge of the show were commentators Teresa Adams and Donna Hedgepath, production supervisor Ronnie Market, and promotion chief Michelle Howard. The reception afterwards was done by the Distributive Education classes taught by Mr. Wilder. In general, the Fashion show was a fun, if hectic, way to learn more about fashion. As Mr. Wilder said, ‘‘The show took a lot of hard work and practice, but it was worth it.”’ Brrr... Tina Marshall and Don Carwile model the latest in outerwear. Preppy Wear.

Calhoun who performed the marriages un- til his voice could tolerate no more. Un- willing Abners were dragged kicking and screaming to the altar, however not ev- eryone needed to be dragged. One enter- prising young man married a total of five times. Although the dance’s theme was coun- try, most of the music was not. Mark Snow, the disc jockey, played mostly “‘funk’’ music behind his silver D.J. stand. Decorations included a red barn back- drop drawn by Bruce Evans and a West- ern Sizzlin Moo Cow. The Senior Class sponsored the dance to raise money for graduation expenses and made an incredible $350 on the dance. Beth Robertson and Chuck Shel- ton were in charge of the dance, and by most any account, it was the most suc- cessful Sadie Hawkins Dance ever. Said Chuck Shelton, who also sponsored the dance last year, ‘‘We were really pleased and surprised at the dance’s popularity, and | hope everyone had a good time.” One couple that had a particularly good time was Gary Burchett and Harriet Martin who were voted Little Abner and Daisy Mae of the dance. Their coronation marked the end of this Valentine’s Day Sadie Hawkins. All in all, the 250 people who attended and the Senior Class seemed pleased with the night.

Looking acting, and ultimately being Prep is not restricted to an elite minority lucky enough to attend prestigious private schools, just because an ancestor or two happened to arrive here on the May- flower. You don’t have to be rich, a regis- tered Republican, ace tennis player, or frequenters of Bermuda to be preppy. Take a look at Manchester for instance. It seems Manchester is flooded with preps. Loads of students actively partici- pate in this water sport. Water sport you say? (Preppies are known for overindulg- ing a bit.) To be a prep you must have some essentials like a closet full of khaki pants, alligator shirts and sweaters, Sperry Top-siders, button-down shirts, and for the girls, an add-a-bead necklace and kilt shirt. Preppies have become even more pop- ular with the recent publication of The Preppy Handbook. The handbook in- cludes such essays as ‘‘The Virtues of Pink and Green’, ‘“‘The Prep-Punk Con- nection,: ‘The Eight Leading College Gut Courses,” and the correct way to speak Prep. The rise of the University of Virginia basketball team to number one in the na- tional press polls has enraged Prep-hat- ers because after all, anything Cavalier is definitely Prep. Preppies maintain that the clothes make sense or as Kim Slayton said, ‘‘You can go just about anywhere with them and still be in place.”’ Anti-preps such as Su- san Preville maintain that, ‘‘People are just copying each other. They definitely are not individualists.”’ Not only do you find preppy students, but teachers can be preps also. Perhaps this is because, as Miss Leigh Haynes puts it, ‘Preppy dressing is an investment in dressing.’ Prep clothes are classics. They wear well; thus, they endure the tides of the ever-changing fashion world. Many styles such as button-down oxford shirts, plaid kilts, khakis, and loafers have come back repeatedly, showing that they are perennial favorites. Regardless of your opinion on the is- sue, it does seem Manchester has gone Prep. How long will the fad last? It’s hard to tell, but already a few OP’s (Ocean Pacific Clothing) are replacing standard prep clothes. ESS a aT So dS Winter prepped, DeeDee Sphar and Chuck Shelton end another day.

The SCA sponsored game at- tracted about ten faculty and eighteen student participants and was played on April 2 before a crowd of approximately two hundred spectators. Bucking the trend towards ‘‘working to contract’ faculty team members put aside their 2:45 quitting time rule to par- ticipate in the event. Faculty team mem- bers included Coach Richardson, Coach Swelnis, Mr. Mike Rose, Mr. DiOrio, Mr. Cournow, Coach Smith, Mr. Wilder, and Coach Spears. With superior ability, they were able to widen a 46-21 point half-time lead to a final 83-56 point margin of victo- ry. Student players included Ricky Cundiff, Mike Horne, Marvin Thompson, Eric Thomas, Mark Ingram, Morris Smith, Gary Wallace, Clyde Grant, Mike Brown, Brian Boldt, Jack Brannelly, Bernie Mimms, Ray Snead, K.C. Cave, Melvin Knight, Dave Deuer, and Alex Mitchell. Mark Wiliams and Dereck LaPrade were referees, and Barry Parham was the announcer. The SCA sponsored the event in an at- tempt to raise money. Asked about the game, SCA sponsor Mrs. Hartley replied that “It was not as successful as we hoped it would be, but we still had a good time and a good game.”’ Going for it, Morris gets out-jumped by the shorter Coach DiOrio.

The show was sponsored by Quill and Scroll and was a big success. ‘‘We owe much of the success of the show to the fantastic acts that participated,” said Kim Slayton, emcee of the show and president of Quill and Scroll. John Hooper, also an emcee, participated in the show by singing a song. Each act was judged by a panel of four judges on the act’s preparation, talent, overall effectiveness, and reaction from the audience. Totaling the most points was Kathy Key, singing her rendition of “Babe’’. She went on to receive the only standing ovation of the night. Kathy was also a member of the band, Pegasus, which captured second place. Other members of the band include Janet Guth- rie and Brian Bartlett. Other outstanding acts included ‘‘The Twelve Years of School,’’ with Betty Jean Snead, Robin Davis, Jill Lewis, Carla Cash, Darla Cash, Sandy Agee, Vanita Cox, Sheila Johnston, Beth Robertson, Lisa Taylor, Harriet Martin, and Susanne Newman; Janet Guthrie singing ‘‘Angel of the Morning’ and “‘It’s Too Late’’; and The Survivors, a band that sung their own original composition and also received much applause. The audience was enthu- siastic, proving the show to be as Kim Slayton put it, ‘‘very successful.” Pyramid Power. The Senior girls’ act does a ‘‘no, no”’.

Talent Show 133 Time For Starting Over On Friday, May 8, 1981, the annual SCA Awards Assembly was held to rec- ognize outstanding students and to induct new SCA and class officers. The Assem- bly began with a welcome by SCA Presi- dent Vanita Cox and an inspirational mes- sage from Chaplain Carolyn Glenn. After Vanita had told the 1980-81 SCA achievements, the presentation of awards began. SCA sponsor Mrs. Hartley presented the Old English monogram let- ters in recognition of school service to Carla Cash, Darla Cash, Vanita Cox, Kirk DeHart, Lila Ghatak, Chris Hansen, John Hooper, David Keeler, Susan Preville, Kim Slayton, and Betty Jean Snead. In recog- nition of outstanding service to Manches- ter, Mrs. Hartley also awarded stars to go with their previously attained letters to Ranu Ghatak, Michael Pemberton, and Chuck Shelton. Mrs. Hornick awarded the Jefferson Book Award to the most outstanding ju- nior, Wendy Tignor. She also announced that David Keys and Randy Keys would attend the American Legion’s Boy’s State and that Anita Lowery would attend Girl’s State. Deanna Donley and Shawn Roddi would attend the Governor’s school for the Gifted. Mr. Rose then announced the new Sen- ior Class officers followed by Mr. Henry who announced the new Junior Class offi- cers. Outstanding students were then an- nounced for Latin, French, Spanish, FBLA, Majorettes, Lancerettes, Newspa- per, Band, and Chorus. With the conclusion of the presentation of awards, the new SCA officers were in- stalled: Chaplain Denise Wiggins, Trea- surer John Wilks, Secretary Sandra Press, Vice-President Debbie Creasy, and President Mark Lucas. With Mark Lu- cas now as SCA president, everything was in place for starting over. Presidential Inauguration. Mark Lucas lights the last candle symbolic of his new office.

In a break with tradition, the Juniors decided to have their prom away from the school. The location they chose was the Oakhill Country Club in Goochland County. With the playing of the prom theme “The Long and Winding Road”’ and the beginning of the Prom Figure, Prom had officially begun. The figure which was led by Lila Ghatak and Wayne Kish and also by Vanita Cox and Chuck Shelton, formed the traditional heart, M, and the ’81 in honor of the gradu- ation seniors. At the end of the figure, Prom announcer Robert Glass an- nounced the 1981 Prom King and Queen, Scott Gore and Debbie Dvorak.

Since the prom was not held in the ugly cafeteria, the Juniors only had to do a minimum of decorating. What decorations they did have consisted of candles lighting the driveway to the country club, and a photo backdrop portraying the theme which was paint- ed by Jennifer Brandt. Prom music was played by Steve Bassett’s Virginia Breeze. His beach music wasn’t to everyone’s liking, how- ever, popular tapes played at band breaks got everyone dancing. All in all, the prom was a success largely due to the work of the Junior class and its officers Lila Ghatak, Wayne Kish, Marianne Seidel, Bruce Harris, and Mark Lucas.

The team was running in the District Meet at Pocahon- tas State Park. Sports Division 145 Lancers Denied A Winning Season Early in the season Varsity foot- ball coach, Lloyd Swelnis made a statement which was proved true by his team later in the year. “The good thing about having a young team is that they can only get better.’’ said Swelnis. The Lancers did indeed get bet- ter. Following a surprising 2-1 start they proceeded to lose four of their next five outings. The one they didn’t lose was a scoreless tie with Midlothian. Manchester then rolled to a pair of season ending wins over Clover Hill (14- 13) and Powhatan (21-14). All of this left the Lancers with a de- ceptive 4-5-1 record. Deceptive because statistics showed that, except for the 30-7 Homecoming embarassment to Varina, Manchester could have easily won any or all of their games. In the opener, they were victim- ized by eight turnovers, one when they appeared to be driving for a score. Result; Henrico 21, Man- chester 7. The next two contest were easy victories over Mea- dowbrook (17-6) and Thomas Dale (6-0). While the defense sparkled, holding their first three oponents to an average of just 93 yards per game, the offense re- mained sluggish and turnover prone. They were able to move the ball, but constantly hindered themselves with turnovers which all to often ended scoring threats. This pattern was to continue for most of the season. The defense led by Juniors Mac Drane and Bri- an Bartlett, and all-district safety Mark Ingram shut down opponent attacks. The offense, however, was sputtering in the face of tur- novers and penalties.

Tommy Tribble and Robert Glass reflect on the night’s loss. arsity Football Finishing With A Flurry It was not until the final three games that the Lancers came to gether offensively. Then, led by Sophomore quarterback Shawn Rossi and all-district running back Robert Galss, they eliminated the turnovers and penalties to wind up the season with a strong 2-1 fin- ish. 2-1 is the same record with which the Lanc- ers began. The difference is that in the first three games, the team turned the ball over 15 times and were pealized 14 times for 102 yards. Games 8, 9, and 10 were not marred by these mistakes at all. Only once was the ball turned over, and Manchester was penal- ized a total of four times for 20 yards. Thus, the Lancers did improve over the sea- son making Coach Swelnis look like a good prophet and even better coach. For the Sen- iors, it was perhaps a bittersweet improve- ment.

Their coach was Spears. This was the Jayvee Football team of 1980. By most standards 5-3 is a good year, but after 8-0 the year before, this season seemed like an off year. It wasn’t. As one player put it, “We weren’t unbeaten, but we still had a good year.” Offensively the team had Quarterback Glenn Collins. He did a solid job of back- ing the Lancer attack. Behind him was a host of running backs who all contributed to the offensive scheme. Despite missing several games due to illness, Scott Neff still headed the team in rushing. “Alex (Mitchell), Chris (Ochoa), Scott (Hovermale), and Donnie (Powell) did great,’’ stated Rick Crocker. Rick was one of many “‘little’’ Lancers that played both sides of the line. Keith Ochoa, for instance, doubled as both guard and linebacker and according to Coach Swelnis, has a bright future at Manchester. “He (Ochoa) can just flat out play. He’ll be a good one,”’ confides Swelnis. Last year’s version was tougher, but this team is going to be a difficult act to follow.

Ginger led the team in scoring, rebounding, shot locking, and minutes played. Why didn’t she play var- sity? Varsity girl’s coach Charlie Smith explained it this way. ‘‘Ginger Gay will be a big help to Varsity next year, but this year it’s better to let her develop with the Jayvee team.” She along with Kay Hargrave and Julie Lewis will give next year’s Varsity, which loses Robin Davis, a longer bench and more flexibility. Keep a close eye on these girls with Varsity next year; a duplicate season is highly possible. As to the Jayvee’s chances, that will depend upon the talent and spirit of the new Junior High players.

By season’s end the Lady Lancers had proven to be a district power. They rolled to 15 — 3 regular season record, which included an undefeated home slate, the district finals and regional qualifiers. At the beginning of the season, Coach Smith’s main concern was his team’s lack of height. ‘‘We’re not very big, so we are going to have to make up for the lack of size with defense and quickness,” claimed Smith. Smith’s problems were compounded by the loss of forward Lisa Blackburn to a pre-season ankle injury. This pushed 152 Girls’ Varsity Basketball Debbie Beglau into a starting role and left most of the front court scoring duties up to Kim Hunter. If things were going right most of the scoring would be handled by Guards Robin Davis and Mary Ames any- way. The Lancers also depended heavily on their bench. Led by Beglau and Freshmen Annette Easterling, the girls enabled Smith to rest players or keep key players from getting into foul trouble. All of these things combined to make the Lady Lancers a contender for State title honors.

Being a first year team would seem to give the players a small sense of apprehension. In reality, however, the consensus among the girls appeared to be one of relaxation and realism. “We knew that we might not do well since it was our first year, but we did try very hard,”’ stated one Field Hockey play- er. That they did. While tying only twice, this team seldom if ever gave up, and fora first year team with a losing record, they got a fair amount of support. Perhaps this support was due to the newness or the underdog status of the team, but regard- less of the reason, the support was great- ly appreciated. The girls realize that it will take some time and effort before the wins will begin, for it is seldom that first, second, or even third year sports get out of the blocks quickly. New teams need experience to gain potential. The future was not bright for next year’s team, but winning may be- come an unexpected reality sooner than most think. Coming to the rescue.

In fact, they were the only team in the first half of the year to make it to the state level of competition, an impressive achievement but a commonplace one for this team. Is there any pressure on the guys because of Cross Country’s winning tradition? “Of course,’ says freshmen John Page, ‘‘but we handle it well and really don’t think about it.”’ In spite of the pressure, the winning tra- dition should continue into next year even with the loss of senior Roger Moore. Rog- er has run for four years and been a major factor on four different Cross Country win- ners. His graduation can’t help but be missed.

Included among the Lancer’s close losses was an overtime defeat to Clover Hill, the eventu- al district champion, and an overtime sec- ond loss to Matoaca at Matoaca. Mike Fisher emphasized the closeness of the competition when he said, ‘‘We were never really blown out of any game this year. We had a chance to win most of Our games.”’ Indeed much of the credit for the un- characteristic competitiveness of the cagers can be attributed to the newly formed Dominion District. “Last year against teams like Walker and Petersburg we had almost no chance,’ added Fisher. “But in this league we all have a chance to win every game?” Unfortunately, varsity, like many other Lancer teams, was cursed by Able to leap tall Trojans in a single bound.

But this year’s youth will mean next year’s veterans and as Fred Grey said, “We had a lot of Juniors this year, so we should be in good shape next year.” In- deed, the Lancers started 3 Juniors and had 3 others which saw a great deal of playing time. In all they boasted 7 Juniors, a good sign for the future. Even with all the junior talent this team was led by Seniors Mark Williams and Derek LaPrade. During the better part of the season, Williams and LaPrade alter- nated scoring honors with Williams wind- ing up the team leader for the season. The pair played on the backcourt a year ago but with the loss of Bubba Brit- ton, the taller and stronger Williams was forced into the frontcourt position. With Williams’ past experience at guard, he had a soft, long range jumper which gave the team an outside scoring threat. Often Front Row: B. Thompson, M. Brown, M. Fisher, D. LaPrade, M. Noel, R.

Quick, times, however, teams would look for the long jumpers, so Williams used his back- court maneuverability to ease around slower forwards for short jump shots or layups. LaPrade, on the other hand, was the scoring threat from the second guard po- sition. Although his backcourt mate Mike Noel could shoot, his job was to run the offense and take few shots, thus leaving LaPrade to carry the scoring load. He, like Williams, handled his task well. The backcourt senior, while at times “streaky’’, is a fine shooter and got most of his points either on the payoff end of fast breaks of from 18 to 20 foot jumpers.

In fact at one point in the season, the jayvee Lancers were 7-0 and resting atop the Dominion District. The season didn’t turn out to be quite as excellent as the first g ames promised. The jayvee dropped 3 in a row and 6 of their next 11, following the winning streak. Nevertheless, the jayvee team managed a solid winning season and der- serves everyone’s credit.

Having lost their vet- eran Senior competitors, it proved quite difficult to match last year’s undefeated record. In fact, the gymnasts lost every meet they competed in. While on the sur- face this may appear disappointing, these gymnasts were successful in other ways. Perhaps the biggest thing they gained from this season was experience. The op- portunity to compete in 8 meets as well as the Manchester-hosted District meet proved invaluable. Asked about the lack of experience, Junior Dee Dee Sphar commented, ‘‘Yes, that was a major prob- lem. We simply haven’t the experience to compete with the other teams or last year’s Lancer team.”’ This certainly was true for this season, but as Dee Dee said of herself and the returning freshmen, ‘‘We’ll be back next year.”’ Showing polished form, Chrissy Will leaps high in air after her floor exercise.

It was kind of accepted that from a win-loss basis, the wrestling team definitely was in the base- ment. But starting last year, the wrestling team is making it slowly out from the bot- tom. The team included many fine wrestlers such as Robert Glass, Scott Neff, Mark Lucas and Mike Allinson. Going into the district tournament each of the three was seeded second in their weight class. Un- fortunately, due to either injury or slug- gishness, only Allinson performed well. He nearly won the district title in the unlim- ited weight class. With Lucas, Glass, Neff, and Allinson, why didn’t the wres- tlers have a better year? “We only had around 5 consistent wrestlers and with 12 weight classes, we’d wind up losing 6 or 7 of them and you can’t win that way,” says wrestling coach Rick Richardson. Consistency seems to be the key to the continued success of the program. When the team has it, perhaps then they will be ready for ‘‘mat smackin’ to the top.” Front Row: A. Thompson, R. Rice, S.

The girls were led by a very hard- driving coach, Mrs. Terri Vega, but the hard work paid big dividends. Because of the small size of the girls team, many girls had to do more than two events, some up to five. Senior team captains Yvonne McDaniel and Sheila Johnston typlified the character of the team, often partici- pating in meets after having been sick. Because of their lack of depth, the girls had to excel in each event as they had no room for error, a problem that didn’t plague other girls’ teams in the district.

Boys’ Track and Field 169 Sultans Of Swing The 1981 Lancers finished in seventh place in the new Dominion District with a 6-10 record. Lack of experienced play- ers, pitching depth, and defense were some of the problems the baseball team faced during the year. The Lancers did, however, have a very strong hitting team with Tommy Skinner, Scott Neff, Courtney Goodwyn, and Ran- dy King supplying most of the power dur- ing the season. The Lancers can expect a better season next year as Courtney Goodwyn is the only senior starter that will graduate. Coming out of a huddle, the Lancer baseball team attempts to come from behind.

Baseball team finished their highly successful 1981 season with a 9-4 record in the Dominion District and a 9-6 record overall. Careful scrutiny of the game scores shows that the Baby Lanc- ers either blasted their opponents or else lost by one run. For example, when the Baby Lancers won, they did so by an in- credible average of 6 points which is twice as much as their losing spread of 3 points. This season, unlike others in the past, was not hampered by rainouts and en- abled the young pitching staff to develop gradually. Leading the hurlers were Ricky Earley and Chris Bratcher with 4 wins and 3 wins respectively. Pacing the well-balanced hitting attack were Chris Ochoa, Donnie Powell, Doug Staib, and Jerry Ray. Defensively, Bobby Brown, Sheldon Bogaz, and Scott Hover- male were the mainstays of the team that held its opponents to just an average of 4 runs a game. Thus, the jayveers were not only swinging their way to their fine 9-4 Dominion District record. Inspecting the troops, Coach Cournow gets his team ready for the final game against L.C. Bird.

The golfers struggled for a 6-10 re- cord, however, no one was all that dis- couraged. Perhaps this optimism was for the team’s prospects next year. As Tom Cary said, ‘‘With the three strong teams (Clover Hill, Meadowbrook, Midlothian) losing a lot of their players and with us bringing so many back, we’ll be OK for the next couple of years.”’ On the green, Golf Coach Charlie Smith explains his strategy against some tough Meadowbrook op- ponents.

Going for it, Sophomore Amy Weston gives it her all in an effort to return the ball. Trying To Boost Sprit 1980-81 was a year of accomplishment for both Manchester cheering units. Both squads made impressive finishes in a cheerleading competition during Decem- ber. The jayvees placed third and varsity tied for second in their respective divi- sions. While these are noteworthy achievements, other important strides were made as well. “We felt that if we could be appreciat- ed by teams and students, then all the work would be worth it,’’ stated Varsity cheerleader Lou Parrott. The work of which she speaks includes decorating the halls, making posters and banners for every athletic team at Man- chester, not to mention giving unprecent- ed support to the so-called secondary sports like cross country and field hock- ey. Support which was openly appreciat- ed by these and other teams like them. “It makes us feel good that teams like cross country appreciate us but the foot- ball team, for instance, hardly notice us,”’ confesses Parrott. This was one of the few complaints that was heard from Varsity. Why? First year cheerleader Karen Boggs thinks she knows the answer. “| think that this year we [Varsity] are all mature enough to deal with our prob- lems and deal with them openly.” Her sentiments were echoed by Lou Parrott. ‘““We’ve got ten people [really nine with Michelle Ginn’s mid-year departure] who really love cheering and we try to avoid unnecessary confrontation.”’ Perhaps the entire squads’ feelings were summed up best by Varsity Senior co-captain Susanne Newman. ‘‘This is the best squad that | have ever been on at Manchester or anywhere else.”’ The story was somewhat different for the junior varsity squad. Generally ac- cepted as a training ground for the future, these cheerleaders wished to be treated with the same respect as Varsity. “We think we’re as good as Varsity, and we’d like to be treated that way,”’ laments jayvee cheerleader Tracie Fi- scher. That annual complaint may at last have a factual base. Nearly every activity per- formed by the Varsity was matched by the younger squad. And they managed to make their teams feel just as important as the Varsity. One Jayvee football player put it this way. ‘‘For a change we are being treated with a little respect and the [jayvee] cheerleaders have been a big part of that?” Most of the childish complaints and ar- guments that usually hinder the cheer- leaders effectiveness have been all but alleviated. ‘‘The jayvees do a good job and we have a good relationship with them which makes our jobs much easier,”’ explains Lou Parrott. Varsity co-captain Wendy Tignor agrees. ‘‘Jayvee, for a change, is a really good squad and we love working with them.” As for that wish for equality? It came true.

Each year the SCA encourages all the clubs at Manchester to join together in a candy sale. This group also encourages students to participate in ‘“‘canned food drives’’ around various holidays. This year the junior class contributed the most food as a group and received candy treats for their efforts. The SCA sponsors the Homecoming activities. The group held a work shop in order to make prep- arations for this dance. The officers elected for this year were V. Cox as president, K. DeHart was vice-president, R. Ghatak for secretary, M. Pemberton as treasurer, and C. Glenn acted as chap- lain. Mrs. Hartley sponsored this year’s group. Sponsor of the SCA, Mrs. Hartley, serves drinks to the members who participated in the workshop.

They practiced nearly every day in order to perform expertly for each Friday show. At each home game, the 60+ marching unit entertained the home crowd with half-time performances; and at each away game, the band repre- sented Manchester in a pre-game pre- sentation. In addition to football games, the Marching Lancers also performed in pep rallies and parades. This year’s band Front Row: C. Thacker, S. Lee, H. Martin, V. Cox, L. Taylor, R. Ghatak, D.

This Year’s Flag Corps excited the crowds at two pep rallys, and performed side line routines at several home football games. The squad participated in many fund raising activities. They held a bake sale, a car wash, and a paper drive. The group also participated in the music de- partment’s yard sale. Try-outs for the Flag Corps are held in the spring. Those who audition for the squad are judged on their ability to follow orders, execution of a learned routine, and performance with music. Flag Corps members wait to begin their routine.

Dana Jolly, the only returning member of the squad, acted as captain. Betsy Muss- leman helped in carrying out duties and acted as co-captain of the group. Other members of the squad were Michelle Acampora, Bitsy Chilton, Jennifer John- ston, Beth Perry, Leslie Scott, and Lyn Tribbey.

This group is composed of nine girls who travel with the Marching Lancers to all band activities. They also performed at some of the home basketball games. The Lancerettes have the privilege of leading the Marching Band in parades and Lancer victory marches. This year’s squad consisted of: V. Cox, D. Creasy, R. Ghatak, N. lvankoe, H. Martin, G. Reid, B. Robertson, and L. Taylor. Try-outs for the squad are held in the spring; positions are open to all grade levels. Quoting one of the co-captains, Gwendolyn Reid, ‘‘With smiles, graceful- ness, and style, the 1980-1981 Lancer- ettes will pass on their routines and excit- ing times to the new members.” Ranu Ghatak, Harriet Martin, and Debbie Creasy smile on the side lines during a home football game.

The girls had summer practice twice a week to prepare for the upcoming football and band season. The squad performed with the band at all ac- tivities, including the University of Rich- mond Band Day held at City Stadium, where the squad received the third place award for their efforts. The majorettes also attended the second annual Azalia Festival where the Marching Lancers re- ceived the first place trophy for their per- formance in the parade. Co-captains of the squad, Lisa Taylor and Sharon Lee wanted to introduce a mascot to this auxi- lary. After discussing the idea with their sponsor Karen Reibsamen, Donna Syl- vester was adopted as mascot of the squad. When asked to comment on this year’s squad, two year member Lisa Tay- lor replied, ‘‘The squad worked hard this year; we’re proud of the awards we re- ceived in competition.”’ Senior Carol Thacker tosses candy to the crowd from hours of practice during the year. Mascot of the squad, Donna Sylvester, put in many hours of practice during the year.

People weren't as interested this year as they have been in the past; | hope it will have more success next year.’’ Many of the club’s members felt this same way. The Tri-Hi-Y had a problem with attendance this year. There were a handful of active members who always attended club and church meetings and helped with other community projects, but there seemed to be a general lack of interest. ‘‘l have real- ly enjoyed being in Tri-Hi-Y during my three years at MHS. | wish more girls would take an active interest in this club. It’s a club that any girl can be in because there are no qualifications other than wanting to have fun and help with service projects for the community,’’ remarked Darla Cash. This year’s officers were D. Grant, president; K. Jeffery, vice presi- dent; D. Cash, secretary; C. Cash, trea- surer; and S. Johnston, chaplain.

Tri-Hi-Y 195 The Two Clubs Combine This year, for the first time since both clubs were founded, the Monogram Club and the Varsity Club merged to form the Monogram — Varsity Club with members from both sexes. The idea behind the merger arose from the needless exis- tence of two clubs in the school with the same basic purpose: to uphold and pro- mote the integrity of Manchester ath- letes. For the transitionary period of 1980-1981, two sets of officers were elected, one set male, the other, female. For the guys the officers were Bernie Mimms, president; Derek LaPrade, vice president; Marvin Thompson, secretary; and Scott Gore, treasurer. The girl’s offi- cers were Carla Cash, president; Beth Robertson, vice president; Shelia John- ston, secretary; and Sandy Agee, trea- surer. Aside from promoting athletics, the club manned the concession stands at all basketball games and Bingo, as well as special events Manchester hosted. “To insure the eventual cohesiveness of the two clubs in the future was well worth the effort put out by many of the members, particularly the time and effort of co- sponsors Rick Richardson and Sandy Johnson,” said Bernie Mimms.

John Hooper and John Wilkes prepare the final draft pages of an issue of the school newspaper. the communique Beginning during the summer and working throughout the school year, the Commu- nique staff with the help of Mrs. Haynes, published six issues of the newspaper. “Even though it required a lot of work, and headaches,” said editor Kim Slayton, “We were happy to be able to have a successful year.’’ The Communique, which followed a news magazine format, featured monthly book reviews, in-depth stories, as well as the art work of Mike Flynn. This year the staff has reported on the new teachers at MHS, the Army Re- serves, favorite winter sports, preps and their characteristics, as well as many oth- er subjects. In addition reporter Paul Berkley was able to acquire an exclusive interview with Ray Bently from the Movie- Machine. Not only did Communique staff members work after school at Manches- ter, some were able to attend a VHSL journalism workshop at UVA last fall. ‘‘We were able to learn about many aspects of journalism,’’ commented Robin Medlin, “ranging from journalistic writing to jour- nalistic rights and responsibilities.”’ With much training, long hours, and creative ideas, the Communique staff has suc- cessfully completed another year. Senior Susan Preville points out an article to Harri- et Spring and Robin Thomasson. Mrs. Haynes and Cindy Childress collected sub- scriptions at orientation. Seniors Kim Slayton and John Hooper review arti- cles before beginning the work. Before school began, Kim Slayton was busy in- forming the new-comers about the school’s paper. Communique staff members attended a publica- tions workshop at UVA. Communique 199 The story of this year’s yearbook staff can best be described as improved. The inexperienced staff took great pains to better the quality of the book and to im- prove their own skills. Co-Editors-in-Chief Shelia Johnston and Chuck Shelton even went to a yearbook workshop at the Uni- versity of Virginia in an attempt to learn how to better the 1981 Memoir. Several layout workshops were also held for the Staff in an effort to improve the book; however, one large obstacle stood in the way of this staff, and that was time. Most schools give their yearbook the sta- tus of a fully-credited class, and therefore can work on the book together, everyday. This staff, however, had to function as an extracurricular activity. The problems were described by Editor Chuck Shelton, “Without being a class, the yearbook staff found it difficult to devote as much time as we wanted to the book, and though the book is a good one, its still not as good as we hoped.”’ Leaf fight.

Yearbook 201 NHS Gets Involve The National Honor Society is a group composed of juniors and seniors who have a3.6 average. The group compiles a student directory and a senior directory which lists the college each senior plans to attend. Members of the NHS also tutor other students. Two of the fund raising activities the NHS participated in were a bake sale and a car wash. The money earned goes towards a scholarship fund which is awarded to a senior member of the group. Seniors L. A. Carol and Sharon Lee tap junior Tracy Reymore twice on each shoulder to induct her. Senior Chuck Shelton lights the candle which represents leadership before delivering his speech.

National Honor Society 203 Display of Talent Quill and Scroll, the international honor society for high school journalists, has over 7,500 chapters in the United States and throughout the world. The Manches- ter chapter of Quill and Scroll is small but active. This year, the organization has sponsored Santa-gram and Cardio-gram sales, the National Current Events Test, as well as the Manchester Talent Show. They also tapped in eight new members in May. Perhaps the reason for the small membership is the stiff requirements for membership. A member must be recom- mended by his publication’s advisor for his outstanding contributions in the busi- ness, writing, art, or editorial aspects of journalism. In addition, the student must be in the upper-third of his class. 1980-1981 Quill and Scroll members: Darla Cash, Mary Beth McCloughan, Shelia Johnston, Chuck Shelton, Lila Ghatak, Kim Slayton, Carla Cash, sponsor Millie Jenkins.

In the fall, VICA members volunteered to do work at Camp Baker, a local mental retardation camp. Between fund raising sales, VICA re- opened and gave new life to the Lancer Shoppe. Inthe spring, VICA members par- ticipated in the District Il competition where many faired well. These winners went on to compete in the state competi- tion where Patty Williams came away with a state leadership award. ‘‘The Gang”’ painted at Camp Baker, a rehabilita- tion center in Chesterfield.

Vocational Industrial Clubs of America 205 Entertain, Enrich, Educate Those three words (entertain, enrich, and educate) is the motto and purpose of the Triptych Players, Manchester’s thes- pian society. Led by President Ricky Da- vis and Drama teacher Dennis Wrenn, the Triptych Players tried to expand its mem- bership and to produce high quality shows. Throughout the year, members of T.P. worked on sets, helped with lighting, and sang and acted in the three dramatic shows. The first dramatic show was The Trag- edy of Dr. Faustus by Christopher Mar- low. The show was the first classical play attempted at Manchester for some time. The production starred Chuck Shelton as Dr. Faustus and Janet Guthrie as Mephis- tophilis, the Devil’s servant. Both eventu- ally became club members. The Triptych Players’ contribution to the one act festival was Impromptu. The show which starred Janet Guthrie, Harold Gloston, Jennifer Blandt and Chuck Shel- ton, was about 4 actors who are left to improvise a play. The play turned out to be so successful, that it made its was up to the state level of competition. The musical How to Succeed in Busi- ness Without Really Trying ended the string of drama productions. The musical starred Janet Guthrie, John Hooper, Ricky Davis, David Hernandez and Gwen Reid, and was about an ambitious young man who becomes chairman of the board of a large company by reading one simple book. The Triptych Players ended the year with a banquet at That Steak Place. The meal featured Delmanico steak. Presi- dent Ricky Davis presided over the event in which slides of the past year were shown, and in which each senior got a chance to ‘‘cut each other down.’’ Among the most coveted awards given that night were Best supporting actor to Harold Goldston, Best Actress to Janet Guthrie, Best Actor to Chuck Shelton, and out- standing senior to David Hernandez. All in all, it was a successful year to entertain, enrich, and educate. Smitty (B. Snead) greets Hedi (G. Reid) in the spring musical ‘‘How to Succeed.”’ Mephistophilis, played by J.

The club is open to all students taking a business class, who have leader- ship as a criteria. The FBLA sold Spook- a-grams, Bunny-grams, Christmas orna- ments, and stuffed animals to help fi- nance their activities. During November, Mrs. Brown, Lois Davis, Giselle Clark, and Pam Montgomery attended the Southern Region Leadership Conference in Louis- ville, Kentucky. At the local level, mem- bers of Manchester’s FBLA attended the fall and spring Virginia State University Region Workshops. At the meeting in March, many members entered competi- tive events. Christi Jordan won third place in Business Ma thematics |, Robin Wilhelm placed second in Steonography |, and Michael Pemberton won the Mr. FBLA event. Pam Montgomery was elect- ed Regional Secretary, succeeding Lois Davis. At the State Conference Manches- ter was recognized as an ‘‘Honor Chap- ter.’’ Quoting Michael A. Pemberton, ‘‘All ‘in all, this year was highly successful for FBLA.”’ The 1980-1981 officers were Mi- chael Pemberton, president; Lois Davis, vice president; Mary Ann Ivankoe, secre- tary; Ray Townsend, treasurer; Pam Goode, reporter; and Cliff Dodson, histo- rian. Enjoying refreshments at an after school social gathering, are many of the club’s members. Surprised by their efforts, sponsor Adelaide Brown smiles at the table set by club members.

During Homecoming, they entered a float entitled ‘‘Exorcise the Devils,’’ and received third place. Many of the stu- dents attended the Virginia Junior Classi- cal League Convention in Roanoke. David Keeler and Chris Currivan each received state trophies for their Latin skills. The fall was filled with car washes and candy sales to earn money for the activities. The club sang Christmas carols at a nursing home. Afterwards, a party was held. The group attended the first annual County Language Banquet, and participated in the Fine Arts Festival. Mrs. Nickerson said, ‘‘This year was very successful with a larger involvement from the students. We have seen a significant increase in membership.’’ The Certamen Team be- came very well known in our area and state. They won several awards around the state. This year’s officers were Betty Jean Snead, president; L.A. Carroll, vice president; Wendy Tignor, secretary; Da- vid Keeler, treasurer; Jamie Cook, histori- an; and Kim Blankenship, chaplain. The Latin Club spent many hours working to receive the third place award for their float. Betty Jean Snead, this year’s Latin Club president, enjoyed preparing for the Homecoming parade. Row 1: B.

The group held an initiation banquet at a club member’s house. Many of the club members attended the Fine Arts Festival held at L. C. Bird and partici- pated in the activities. The Spanish club held its annual installation banquet at C. C. Chicano’s. Also, Club members visited King’s Dominion. During the holiday sea- son, the Spanish club went Christmas carolling.

Homecoming was an important event to the club members; they spent much time and effort building and decorating their Homecoming float. During the Christmas season, club mem- bers went carolling at Chippenham Hospi- tal. Some members went to Farrell’s ice cream parlor at Regency Square Mall as an after school outing. An important duty of the French club is paying the dues for the National French Honor Society mem- bers in the club. New members of the French club are initiated during the annual banquet where the newly elected officers are introduced.

Acknowledgments 237 Reflections: Page by Page As the year continued to unfold, and we added to the understanding of ourselves, gave way to the festive atmo- sphere of the Christmas season. And as we left for Christ- mas break, the pages were almost half-complete. Midwinter blues, essays, exams, cold blasts of air when walking between buildings, mud leading to the trailers, a very late vocational building, still no new parking lot, cold weather but no snow, were all just. part of our mid-winter reflections. We seemed like the weather, frozen in time, waiting for the spring thaw. Surely enough, when the weather brightened and the outside began to come alive, we too came alive in the face of the new opportunities and activities of spring. For the Seniors, it was time to gather their thoughts, reflect upon themselves, and make critical decisions about their future. But it was also a festive time, as Juniors and Seniors enjoyed the May 2nd Prom at Oak Hill Country Club. Again, as was the case with Homecoming, it was a time when we could feel united, as individuals sharing the com- mon thread of our school identity. As the year began, so it ended — with a controversy. Keeping a tradition alive, these Seniors enjoy the final Senior Pep Rally that they fought so hard to get. : All decked out.

Seeking to safeguard a tradition, the Senior Class fought for their Senior Pep Rally. After showing that they had the maturity to back up their activism, the Senior Pep Rally went on as tradition mandated. Another page had been added as further insight into the Lancer character. But for the Seniors, there was but one more unfinished p age. On June 5, 1981 among a crowd of 2,000 well- wishers, the 1981 Senior Class said goodbye to MHS. Throughout their three years here, the pages have grown 240 Closing slowly, just as they; as individuals, have slowly grown. Graduation marked the final page on this part of their life, and so for Manchester, graduation marked the final page of this year. With a new class and a slightly different student body next year, the spirit of this year could never be exactly recaptured. The photos, the words, the spirit of this book, are now all just reflections of the way we, the Lancers of Manchester High School, once were. J ’ -
