Memoir 1983 Manchester High School 7401 Hull Street Road Richmond, Virginia 23235 Volume 45 Title Page 1 Moving Forward Fast If an outsider had to pick one word to de- scribe Manchester, its people, and its ac- tivities, he would probably have a difficult time choosing. To an insider, though, one word is likely to come to mind immediate- ly. That word is “Action.” Like never before, students took an active role in attempting to improve both the re- creational and the educational aspects of the school. By meeting with the administra- tion in informal ‘rap sessions,’ Lancers were able to communicate their hopes and expectations to the administration. They were also able to gain insight into the facul- ty’s policies. The results of the meetings were broad. Student faculty relationships improved as both parties got to know each other as indi- viduals, not just as teachers and pupils. Seniors were granted two new privi- ledges: a senior parking lot and a senior picnic. The Donkey Basketball game and the basketball game against WRVO were organized at the prompting of the students to earn money for the school as a whole. Clearly, we learned that the way to act most effectively was by working together for the common good. Without action and involvement, we could not have accom- plished the improvements that we did.

Of course, academics was the real reason we were here. Thus, it was vital that we take the responsibility to work as hard as we could to become a success. Several new practical courses such as Debate and Public Speaking gave us the chance to become involved in academic areas which were previously not the norm. Equally as vital was our extra-curricular in- volvement. Only by participating in sports, clubs, and organizations could we hope to round out ourselves and the school. Like academics, we obtained tangible results from our ‘after hours”’ involvement. Foot- ball, basketball, and girl's basketball teams all had winning seasons because of the in- volvement of Lancers. Clubs like the SCA began to live up to their names; it became a club in which the students acted together to clean-up the cafeteria, etc. And finally, our support for the activities sponsored by the clubs in and out of school helped to enrich our school life. Even those Lancers who did not partici- pate themselves in either clubs or sports nonetheless attended club-supported dances and plays, as well as sporting evenis. As Lancers we took action to make Man- chester everything that it is. Our sincere devotion to involvement in school life is something that we will long remember. The effects of our action will long be re- membered by the Manchester community as well. Excited by a victory over Matoaca, Scott Hover: male hoists Doug Staib into the air. Opening 5 LANCER Le, Making Memories Last An active social life was the one thing that made high school so appealing. Students wanted desperately to “‘fit in; to be a part of the excitement and the intensity that seemed to come with the territory. By par- ticipating in the events which make ‘'Lanc- er Life’ what it is, they grew to feel that they were truly a part of Manchester life. With the Homecoming game in the fall, Lancers got their first taste of the fun still to come. They looked eagerly forward to the Powderpulf game, the prom, and, ulti- mately, graduation. But as each event came and went, the students never lost the thrill that they felt along the way. Because Lancers gave so much of them- selves to school related activities, each and every Lancer life event was successful. Students worked long hours to prepare for the Homecoming parade. They worked equally as hard to help improve the school. Seniors and juniors practiced long atter- noons to prepare for the Powderpult game. What did the students get as a result of their active participation? They each ex- perienced situations which they will re- member always. Whether a Lancer re- members the thrill of winning Homecoming, the electric charge he got from the pep rallies, or the romance he felt as a result of the prom, he will definitely miss the action of Lancer life.

All of the noise which the students make serves an important purpose: it helps to build school pride and unity. Although the pep rallies often turn into a show of rival- ries among individual classes, they have also had one beneficial effect. The rallie s have led to a strong sense of school pride. chants Nobody does it better! The senior class sponse to Lanny’s question best class ? Senior Scott Sanger commented, '' How do they expect our class to ever win the spirit jug? We are such a small class that the prepubescent freshmen always sound louder than we do. In fact, however, the senior class did win the spirit jug and the title of ‘Most Spirited Class”’ once. Allyson Matheny said, It was great to finally beat those shrill-voiced underclassmen.

With the construction of the new library, gym, and classrooms in pro- gress, the school physically took on a new shape. This physical change signaled change in other areas of school life. The PTSA helped to begin the change by sponsoring post football game pizza dance parties in the gym. These activities went over fairly well until the freshmen realized they were the only class who at- tended the events. The lack of attendance at the pizza parties showed the apathy that existed at the be- ginning of the school year. Another exam- ple, the student ‘Walk-Out,’’ however, made many students and faculty members realize that a change in the student ad- ministration relationships could help solve the problems. Mr. Jones held meetings with members of the senior class to discuss how to improve the relationships. In the end, the seniors drafted a list of proposed senior privi- ledges for Mr. Jones and a self-picked committee to review. They granted two new rights: a senior parking lot and a sen- lor picnic. The “‘rap sessions’ with Mr. Jones also led to other changes. He sent luncheon invita- tions to various club officers to give them all a chance to informally talk about reve- lant school issues. The SCA launched a campaign to clean up the lunch room. In protest of ‘‘Mr. Fork and Mrs. Spoon’’ — type posters, the SCA designed posters which would not so bla- tantly insult the intelligence of the student body. Posters such as the Rolling Stones tongue with the slogan, ‘‘Throw Your Jumping Jack Trash in the Can Can Can now replace the silverware family. “The crazy class-change zoo.” Because of con- struction, students have to battle heavy traffic to enter the main building Enjoying the company of Mr. Jones, Apri!

A resur- gence of Fifties style clothing hit the fash- ion scene. The Marilyn Monroe look of polka dotted dresses with full skirts and cropped pants gained popularity. Pumps and costume jewelry completed the en- sembles. Likewise, New Wave impacted dress. The army look clothed students seeking to mimmick their tavorite musicians. Combat boots, mohawks, and second hand cloth- ing were the key to this look. By adapting new styles to their own lifestyles, students determined the look of the Eighties. Pierced ears.

The game commenced with Lord English making his grand en- trance in a blue velvet cape with accompa- nying trumpets roaring. The seniors were also psyched for victory. After his an- nouncement, Philip Ventrella was at- tacked by fans wanting autographs as he ran onto center court, protected by body- guard Mel Alexander. At the first two points shot by the senior team, a white cloud, in the form of toilet paper, descended onto the floor. After all the pre-game hoopla, however, the bas- ketball players got down to serious busi- ess. The seniors held the lead for the ma- jority of the game, until the final moments when the faculty members managed to make some clutch free throws. Despite the senior loss, the audience was treated to slam dunks, swishing free throws, and a lot of entertainment in between. Finding an opening, Julie Lewis prepares to make the shot which will make the seniors tied with the faculty. Is this fair?

The Agony of Giving Blood “T accepted the challenge!’’ proclaimed the stickers displayed proudly on the shirts of many students. The challenge they had accepted was donating blood. When the SCA sponsored a blood drive to benefit the Richmond Metropolitan Blood Service, they received great support from the student body. With the gym as a tem- porary donating chamber, students fear- lessly came to give blood. They had their pulse checked, their temperature taken, their finger pricked, and then waited for their turn at the needle. For some, their turn came too fast. Stu- dents were positioned on stretchers similar to chaise-lounges. The nurses then steril- ized and numbed their arms. After that they inserted the needle and pumped the donors’ blood into a transparent bag. Jen- nifer Johnston said, ‘It made me woozy to see my own blood.” Staring straight ahead, trying to get her mind off of what is going on around her, Lee Ann Haynes tells herself it will soon be over. Why am I doing this? John McLemore, with his “blood bag” in hand, tries to look nonchalant as he waits his turn to give blood.

After several warnings from Mom, he stumbles out of bed, show- ers, dresses, grabs a bite to eat, and dashes out the door. By bus or car, he speeds to school. Arriving before the 7:35 tone, students wander the halls to catch the latest scoop. Once homeroom is over and the halls are filled, the school day slowly starts. Class after class, students daydream, talk, fidget, sleep, and learn. Luckily, lunch quickly brings relief. Students use the peri- od to rap, to finish homework, and, if they are sly, to start a food fight. When the clock finally strikes 1:50, stu- dents rush home. Others, more attached to the school, stay to participate in sports or clubs. The only true break in the school day — lunch — revitalizes freshmen Sharon Webb, Barbara Palrner, and Paula Byrne who catch up on gossip. 24 The @ a) ( srind The toughest part of the daily grind — classwork — occupies Rory O'Connor, Wesley Owens, and Scott Sanger as they dutifully take notes in AP Histo- ry.

The members of each act stood nervously behind the stage as they waited for their time to perform to come. And, one by one, their turns came. First up on center stage, The New City Band. After they belted out a couple of Chicago-like tunes, the senior girls came out and performed the ‘‘Twelve Years of School”. By singing such witty lines as, ‘Don't stuff your bra,” the girls walked away with fourth place. Later in the show, such acts as the ‘‘Lone Rifle’’ and Buckwheat performed. Tony Hall's portrayal of this lovable Little Ras- cals character won him applause from the audience. Four other bands also bopped around on stage. Both the Female Go-Go’s and the Male Go-Go’s got loud cheers and laughs from the audience. In their first public appearance, Panic sang their original melodies for a crowd that simply ‘punked out.’ The Penetrators, veter- ans of the Richmond night club scene, had the crowd slam dancing in the aisles to their fast-paced renditions of tunes like ‘Brand New Cadillac.'’ The Penetrators won second place in the show. So who won the Variety Show? To much the audience's dismay and delight, the Varsity Cheerleaders were awarded the first place prize money for their dance rou- tine. “Hi boys and girls” Buckwheat Tony Hall reaches out and ‘‘dutches’’ somebody’s hand.

Variety Show Singling Out Achievers For the first time, the SCA Awards Assem- bly was conducted entirely by club offi- cers. President Philip Ventrella, Vice President Kay Hargrave, Secretary Beth McGill, Treasurer Julie Lewis, and Chap- lain-Reporter Robin Faison each inducted their replacement for next year. Likewise, they presented 15 Monograms. Wayne Bollinger and John Donnelly were named ‘Outstanding SCA Members.” Other clubs also presented awards at the assembly. The PTSA chose two students from each class, two faculty members, and two parents to receive awards for active involvement in the organization. Here ya go.

Prom-ing It Up Phase 1: The Invitation It began as much as a month prior to the actual date—preparations for the Junior- Senior Prom, that is. The Junior class had settled on a location, a band, a date, and a time. Now it was up to the guy to bravely extend an invitation to some lucky girl. And, if the belle of his choice was willing, his proposal would be accepted. Phase 2: The Preparations Once the couple had formed, the girl and the boy began making the necessary ar- rangements for the “big night.”’ The girl began her search for the ‘perfect dress,’ all the time worrying how many girls would be dressed as her twin. The guy rented a tux and, although he did not necessarily worry about having his look duplicated, he did wonder what type to get — black or colored, with or without tails. From there, they had to order matching, color-coordi- nated flowers. Phase 3: May 7th By this time, each couple should have de- cided where to dine — Hugo's, Le Chef's, Tobacco Co. — and should have made reservations. Beginning in the morning, the girl began testing her hairstyle and the boy began washing the “‘coach. ’ About an hour before departure, both slipped into their respective attire. The boy got in the car and drove to his date’s home. Phase 4: Almost There And, practically the minute the fellow stepped from his car, he was blinded by the flashes from cameras. After enduring various poses in various settings, the happy couple stepped into the car and left for the guy's house for pictures. Making that stop- over, they finally leave for dinner and ulti- mately: The Prom. After being named Prom Queen and King, Kate Lambert and Charles Page look surprised as their friends congratulate them.

As couples ascended the spiral staircase, they could hear Steps playing such hits as ‘Rock the Casbah” and “Truly.” At nine o'clock, the Prom Figure partici- pants meticulously executed such figures as an 'M” symbolic of the school and an 83 in honor of the graduating class. After the Prom Figure, it was time to crown the Prom King and Queen. Charles Page and Kate Lambert were made royalty for the night. As the night matured, the mood of the crowd stayed vibrant as students looked forward to the breakfasts or beach trips to come. Crowned by Mr. David L.

Before the Assembly, seniors were treated to a breakfast funded by the Senior Class and the administration. The meal included sweet rolls, ham and sausage biscuits, or- ange juice and coffee. After dining, the students lined up with their partners, and prepared to march into the gym. At the Assembly, seniors were honored by a poem from the Junior Class, awards from school departments, and scholarships from community organizations or colleges. Debbie Beatty was named “Graduate of the Year,’ the highest honor presented.

But, the $15-a-head banquet was more than a meal; it was a last chance for seniors to gather before Graduation. After the meal of beef and potatoes, the seniors were treated to surprise entertainment: sponsors Mrs. Eggleston and Mr. Storino sang Dy- lan tunes; Mark Weaver played “Yester- day’ on the guitar; and Philip Ventrella, Weaver, and an uninhibited Wayne Bol- linger sang ‘Bye, Bye Manchester High.” The Last Will and Testament was narrated by Scott Sanger and Tony Hall. Once stu- dents recovered from its biting wit, they heard the class prophesy — with a nuclear war theme — written by Mark Holt.

Marking the end of the high school careers of all 237 graduates, the night began with anxious students gathering in the gym.

Graduation CADEMICS Variety Makes The Ditterence Academics. No matter what a student's opinion of school work happens to be, there is no denying that it is the real reason for attending school. Day atter day, class period after class period, students listened to teachers deliver lectures, often without variety. As Wesley Owens noted, “Sitting through six classes a day, where each teacher does nothing but lecture can only be described by one word: monotonous. ” Many teachers, however, found solutions to the problem of keeping their students motivated and wide awake in class. In for- eign language classes, teachers revived the old custom of having culture days. Likewise, the home economics and family living classes held recipe-testing days and staged mock wedding ceremonies and re- ceptions. In the science department, teachers, espe- cially physics instructor Mr. Thorton, in- corporated more experiments and demon- strations into the classes so that students could actually learn first-hand the princi- ples which the teachers taught. The sci- ence fair allowed students to investigate those particular areas of science which in- terested them most. In the English and history departments, students got the unique chance to partici- pate in public speaking events and in a mock trial. The math department was en- larged to incorporate computers into much ot the class curriculum. Senior Laura Dillard remarked, ‘The class studies have been more in depth and inter- esting. I think it’s a move in the right direc- tion.” BRE ORES TEC, SEERA EER SR RRA RE SR CAP SURBITON ORGS Hoping that no one notices, Eric Thomas sneaks a cookie during the family living mock wedding recep- tion. 40 Academics sss sus essssssssssssssesssesssssssssesen laying or studying?

In the Speech I class, students gave how-to-speeches, read story books, and told their favorite jokes to help them feel more at ease and to gain poise when speaking. “The beginning of the year we were really nervous when we got up in front of the class to speak. After months of constantly making speeches in class; how- ever, | now feel more comfortable with my speaking abilities, commented Scott Sanger. Debate was revived with a Speech II De- bate class. Mr. Wildasin taught the class and organized the debaters for interscho- astic competition, first traveling to JMU to compete with 21 teams. They received an honorable mention. In February, MHS participated in the Longwood College In- vitational Debate Tournament and brought home a third place trophy. The debaters received a second place trophy for their debating skills in the Prince Ed- ward County High School Debate. Debat- ers included Laura Dillard, John McLe- more, Rooney Nelson, Scott Sanger, Mark Weaver, and John Winsor.

Technology ‘Computer classes are a great opportunity for students, because in a few years, it will be a necessary skill to have in this techno- logical age,’’ commented Mrs. Dunkum, in- structor of the computer business courses. After years of time-sharing with the Math and Science Center,the school received fourteen Apple II Plus 48K computers. BASIC and PASCAL are the two comput- er languages which are being taught. As a result of the acquisition of these com- puters, two new courses were created: a computer mathematics class and a compu- ter business programming class. Teachers foresee offering an AP computer class next year, plus full semester classes in pro- gramming. ‘Now school boards are realiz- ing that computer knowledge is important because of its wide use in all aspects of life I think the program here will be expand- ing rapidly,’ noted Mrs. Hartley, « aoe er math teacher. Students expressed their computer inte est in several ways. A computer team com- posed of Wayne Bollinger, Mike Dikenzo, and Philip Ventrella ventured to Long- wood College to participate in the South- ern Piedmont Computer Competition. With only two hours to complete six prob- lems, they successfully worked three. This effort won them fourth place. Another way students vented their interest was through what Mrs. Hartley referred a as ae ‘sev- enth period.’’ Students stayed after school to write new programs or just to play games. An SAT program, to prep students for the SAT test, was offered for the first time. Overall, the outlook for computers looks positive, as there was definitely a de- es and an interested student body. Punching ina program, Wayne Boll ments with a new language, while Making lt Electives Give Space For Creativity Aside from the required courses, students had a variety of electives from which to choose. These courses, although not as high pressured as the required ones, gave students a chance to move out of their desks and use their imaginations. In Photography I, students made pin-hole cameras and learned to develop film. They also brought 35mm cameras to class, where Ms. Robertson taught them the ba- sics of photography and camera mainte- nance. Another branch of the department includ- ed crafts. Mrs. Garner instructed classes in basket weaving, rug hooking, macrame, and tie-dying. The classes learned about artists and the schools of art, such as Im- pressionism and Surrealism. Portraits by such artists as Toulouse-Lautrec and Van Gogh were studied, and their techniques analyzed. Students were given the chance to try and create their own masterpieces using water color or oil. In the shop building, Mr. Swelnis taught 48 Electives mechanical drawing. His students drafted precision sketches of cams and gears. Across the hall, Mr. Boardway trained would-be-woodworkers in power tool use. Projects included clocks, shelves, and stools. On the other side of the coin, home eco- nomics taught tomorrow's adults cooking, sewing, and family planning. In order to learn how to plan a reception, Mrs. Hunt held a mock wedding in her family living class. Out of these electives, students experi- mented and got satisfaction out of ‘making tthe Stitching the material, Clay Seamster makes a soft sculptured tank out of chicken wire, glue, and material in his Art | class.

They were given the script for a murder trial, were assigned roles as witnesses, jurors, and at- torneys, and were to create a realistic dra- matization of an actual trial. In the case of The Commonwealth of Virginia v. Mike Mean, the defendant was Charged with the murder of Miss Can- dy Kane, Mean’s neighbor and an employ- ee at the Old Folk’s Home. Their exact relationship, called a “growing love rela- tionship,’ was never established. After the jurors were sworn in, with Judge Wildasin presiding, the prosecution called its witnesses: Candy's employer, her moth- er, her roommate, a neighbor, and a bar- tender. Police Chief Slick confirmed that the murder had occurred in Miss Kane's apartment. Things looked grim for Mike, a lovesick guy with no future. After all, he had been accused of murdering the woman he loved. Surprisingly, Mean was found inno- cent due to insufficient evidence. Perea In addition to learning about the judicial ee eee = branch, students learned about the legisla- tive branch of government. All govern- ment students were assigned a bill to fol- low as it moved through the General Assembly. Students were expected to re- search it, and talk to its patrons. Govern- ment students took a field trip to the Gen- eral Assembly Building and the Capitol to see the legislature in work. In addition to the field trip, students were allowed to venture downtown on their own during other school days to do further re- search. These private excursions gave stu- dents a feeling of responsibility and pres- tige as they rubbed elbows with the officials.

Juniors and seniors had the option of taking a schedule of six academic courses at MHS or going to the Chesterfield Technical Center to re- ceive vocational training. All Tech students are expected to be at school in the morning; however, before the homeroom bell rings, they are re- quired to catch the bus to the Tech center, which is located near Bird High School. The afternoon Tech students go to classes in the morning and then leave for Tech at 10:30. If a students attends Tech, he or she is still required to meet the mandatory 16 units of credit necessary for graduation. The vocational programs offered at Tech include Business Data Processing, Heat- ing, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, Electricity, Electronics, Technical Drafting, Printing, Commercial Photography, Horti- culture, Auto Mechanics, Auto Body Re- pair and Painting, Cosmetology, Carpen- try, Cabinet-Making and Millwork, Masonry, Metal Fabrication, Nursing As- sistant, Surgical Technology, Practical Nursing, Food Service, Plumbing and Pi- petitting, and Welding. For many students, Tech is an excellent opportunity to gain a skill for employment directly after graduation. In this manner, Tech offers an alternative to the rising costs ot higher learning, as most universities in- crease their tuition annually.

The thought of having to do push ups and lunges at 8:15 in the morning seemed incomprehendable to most ninth and tenth graders. Most students feared first and sixth gym period classes the most; early in the morning they were too tired to think about stretching and late in the after- noon they were too hot to do the stretch- ing. Nevertheless, chipper gym teachers had their students donned in shorts, T- Shirts, and tennis shoes to participate in the various activities offered by the Phys- ical Education Department. Even though most students don't like gym class because they have to ‘dress out’’ or because they are required to take showers, they really benefited from the class. Throughout the year instructors intro- duced several ways for students to keep themselves physically fit. This way, they could choose which activity they liked best and continue with that after high school. Before students could begin playing, they were required to do calisthenics: jumping jacks, sit ups, wind mills, etc. Some of the sports taught to students included softball, tennis, archery, and volleyball. In addition to running for track, the essentials of the high and long jump, shot put, and baton passing were explained. Many students felt challenged with the Presidential Physical Fitness Test require- ments. During this week, P.E. students wore themselves out trying to beat their friends’ scores. Students were tested on their endurance and agility. Even though P.E. may not be the most enjoyable class for some, it had something to offer every- one.

Grabbing a rubber chicken from a student in the audience, mime Larry Golstein entertains English classes at an assembly designed to teach the art of pantomime. Oc qe OS Jigga KEG ICY Providing insight into the somewhat complicated literary movement, Transcendentalism, a guest speaker illustrates the concepts to Mrs. Farrell's Hon- s 11 class Gathered around the buffet, students help them- selves to servings of authentic British cuisine during Shakespeare's birthday celebration. 56 English ore Than Grammar Speakers, Celebrations Enrich Classes To break the monotony of diagramming sentences, memorizing vocabulary words, and reading silently in class, teachers in- corporated new methods of teaching to make English more interesting. To gain a greater appreciation of Shake- speare’s eloquence, Mr. Storino hosted a birthday celebration in ‘‘Bucky’’ Shake- speare’s honor. Students hung a British flag on the wall, served food from the Brit- ish Isles, and were serenaded by the Mad- rigals. Three brave knaves, Scott Sanger, Doug Staib, and Mark Weaver, rented an- d or created costumes like those of Fif- teenth century Anglo-Saxons. Another facet of English involved student participation. Ms. Crank’s Honors 10 class performed scenes from Fiddler on the Roof. Because Ms. Crank’s class was also studying pantomime, the English Depart ment sponsored Larry Goldstein who mimed for the classes. Guest speakers explained more abstract concepts to students. In Mrs. Farrell’s Eng- lish 11 Honors class, a speaker explained the theories behind Transcendentalism. This activity, coupled with the others, en- riched the curriculum of English classes. Presenting a scene from Fiddler on the Roof, Cindy Janis, as Golde, and Suzy Staib, as Yente, en tertain and enlighten their classmates in Ms. Crank’s class.

Protiting From Intimate Theater When the Drama II class decided to stage The Fantastiks, they knew that the pro- duction would be much better if it were close to the actors | don't think that the play would have been as effective.’ done in intimate theater. As Jennifer Brandt, the female lead character, stated, “It's a very personal show. It has a special meaning for everyone who sees it; every- one can relate to the subjects the play deals with. For these reasons, the audience should be close to the action so that they can feel like they are a real part of the activity.” Thus, the drama class positioned the audi- ence’s seats right up where the action was: on the stage. They arranged the seats so that the audience would encircle the new, smaller stage on three sides. This closeness led Kim Jenkins to remark, “'I really felt caught up in the play. If I hadn't been so Friends, Romans, countrymen. Chris Logan, as enry, delivers a nonsensical soliloquy. In the lead role of Luisa, Jennifer Brandt sings and lances up close to the audience. Because of the audience's location, only a limited number could view the perfor- mance at the same time. For this reason the drama department staged the production for five consecutive nights, all but one of which were standing room only. On the closing night, Chesterfield Cab- levision filmed the production to air it on a cable television channel. ‘‘We were rather intimidated by the cameras, but everyone, except Mr. Wrenn, who flubbed a line, did fine,” remarked Jennifer Brandt.

To permit the audi- ence to become wrapped up in the action, the plays were done in intimate theater. The first production was Butterflies Are Free with only four cast members. Mark Weaver played Don Baker, the young blind man whose mother, Jennifer Brandt, shelters him from reality. They make a deal that he be allowed to live on his own for a month. During this time, Don meets Jill, an eighteen year old divorcee played by Julie Williams, who doesn't have a real grip on lite. Eventually, the two strike up conversa- tion and Don brings out Jill's true charac- Iey. Everything is going well until Mrs. Baker arrives. She wants Don to move back with her. Thus, Jill leaves Don for Ralph, played by Philip Ventrella. In the end, however, Jill, who has learned a lot about life in one day, follows her heart and comes back to Don. The second production, Vanities, starred Jennifer Brandt as Mary, Ginger Gay as Kathy, and Laura Winsor as Joanne. The play begins in a gymnasium as the three cheerleaders contemplate college and wonder if they'll be popular. Fearing that they won't be popular, they vow to always be together. Six years later, the three unite as adults who have all changed immensely. In the end, Mary and Kathy, instead of drinking to the “good ole’ times,’’ drink to forget them. As the tension builds between the rivaling Ginger Gay and Jennifer Brandt, Laura Winsor frivilously pours herself another glass of wine. Serenading Julie Williams with his own song, Butterflies Are Free,’’ Mark Weaver brings out her superticiality. Spring Plays 6] PEOPLE Functioning As A Whole T have always felt that students and faculty should enjoy more than just a working re- lationship. This year I have gotten to know my teachers as more than just instructors; I've gotten to know them as individuals who respect me as much as | respect them,’ commented Andy Clark. Many such relationships helped to make stu- dents feel comfortable. Freshmen sought, and found, security in the midst of their confusion about “high school.” Sopho- mores turned to their teachers and admin- istrators to help choose classes and activi- ties. Juniors, experiencing the first problems of a heavy work load, gained reassurance from the faculty. And seniors, faced with the decision of what to do aiter graduation, found guidance and advice from the faculty. All of the ways in which students and teachers teachers functioned together made us a complete entity. “Without Mr. Jones’ help I don't know how Dana and | could have been successful as Lannies. The encouragement he gave us, we passed on to the whole school as we cheered at the pep rallies and games. | think the entire student body could really teel a comradeship toward one another,’ remarked Kay Hargrave. Without the cooperation of both students and faculty members, little could have been accomplished. The senior beach day, for instance, would not have been so successful had it not been for the mutual compromises made between students and the administration. The faith the adminis- tration entrusted in the pupils gave every- one a chance to grow as a whole and as individuals. ELS 8A APY RE LF CARRS AS PLES SP SS A SG ENERO Thirsting from knowledge?

Brew Bill Mary Sue Terry. That woman's name be- came a household word. With the backing of Governor Robb, Terry spent the greater part of the year trying to raise the legal beer drinking age to 21. This legislation caused quite a stir. Students were angered over the possibility of having to wait 3 or 4 years to legally drink a beer. Public hearings on the bill drew special interest groups from around the state, and opposition heightened. The Senate finally decided, however, that 21 was too high. They awaited a compromise bill from Terry — or no legislation would be passe d. Fi- nally, the legal beer drinking age was raised to 19, much to the dismay of many 17 and 18 year old seniors. A few seniors shared their views: “Attempts to reduce casualties due to drunken driving are indeed noble, but raising the drinking age is not the means to that end. Students will still be able to get beer and the problem will remain. The cause would be better served by enacting Made 19 and enforcing stronger driving laws and automatic license revocation.” Mark Weaver ‘Isn't it sad when a country who relies on 18 year olds to be mature enough to elect its foremost leaders, disallows the same 18 year olds to be mature enough to decide whether they want to drink beer.’’ — Deb- bie Beatty Although many of my peers regard a higher drinking age as naive, | feel that such an increase is a step in the right direc- tion. Most young people who drink now will probably not stop because of a higher drinking age, but perhaps a few younger people will be discouraged from drinking at a younger age in the future.’ — Mark Wenberg So we're adult enough to vote at 18 and adult enough to see Candy Goes to Hol- lywood at 18!

JTAC As seniors, many of us found ourselves no longer as interested in Manchester as we had once been. We had one foot in high school and one foot in college, and the latter seemed much more promising. After four years of the same routine, we were ready for a change. Around March, we began to count the days until graduation, ind we also began to slide. To get psyched, we had the illegal skip day. The day proved to be dreary weather-wise, but eniors held indoor parties and skipped B 84° Seniors Me-Mu regardless. Events peaked in May when we received our caps and gowns. Because we had made firm committments to college or jobs, we felt we could play around the rest of the year. Some seniors, however worked to snag that 87.99 semester aver- age to gain exam exemptions. To break the humdrumness, the seniors were amused by the mysterious kidnapping of Raoul. We also added a new member to the class, Myron Gerbil, who was ridiculed when he made straight F’s. Some students actually believed Myron was a real person. After June 10, the symptons of senioritis appeared to be tading away, as we pre- pared ourselves for summer fun and seri- ous college academics. Do they look that sick? As victims of senioritis, seniors could be found leaving school often.

Each girl repre- sented a theme from each school year, for example eleventh grade was “Don't Use A Fake J.D.’ After each senior ‘'sung’’ her line, they ran off stage while Dana Jolly did an impersonation of the Clinic’s own, Mrs, Jackson. At that, the girls ran back on stage dressed in their beach garb, showing that they had skipped school to be at the beach. They then proceeded to build the traditional senior pyramid.

After the excitement of trying on caps and gowns, the time came to reflect on the money spent on being a senior. Seniors were inundated with order forms throughout the year. Announce- ments, caps, gowns, tassels, memory books, yearbooks, calling cards, senior pictures, mini diplomas, banquet and Prom dresses, tuxedos, Powderpuff jer- seys, and other keepsakes were ordered, rented, or bought. In addition, seniors had to find the bucks to pay the $15 for the banquet and the $12.50 for the senior class portrait. Even though the year proved to be expensive, most seniors agreed that the costs were worth the re- ward: graduation.

We were the little people on campus, but we re- spected our “‘elders.’’ Life took on a new meaning in February. The death of Greg ' Carr made us open our eyes to the reality of death and the significance of life. High school introduced us to AAA sports and social events. Even when it meant driving miles to a shack in the woods, we found parties truly rewarding. Being seen at football games and Sal’s was very impor- tant to our social standings then. It was so long ago. It “got off!” Our sophomore year was a time of obscur- ity. While we enjoyed being able to call someone ELSE the little guy, we weren't too sure of our own place in the school. Tagging along with big brother and hitch- ing rides was starting to get old; then sud- denly, we found ourselves driving. Sur- reywood parking lot gained a new purpose. With seemingly nowhere else to go, hoards of sophomore-driven cars gath- ered at the popular night spot. Though an Achieving a state of nirvana, S.C.A. President Philip Ventrella contemplates graduation. uneventful year, it was one for growing up. Upperclassmen. The title was finally ours. As juniors, ‘’Farrellism'’ and chemistry recitations were implanted into our weary minds. Receiving class rings symbolized another step towards adulthood, and a boost to the class treasury. Although bas- ketball games and Midlothian Cinemas were our mainstay, concerts became an integral part of our lives. A surprise stop in Hampton by the Rolling Stones caused several students to leave school early to purchase tickets. After that, Prom popped up, with the John Marshall and Voltage Brothers hosting the event. Finally we emerged as seniors. Plans for our future and a last attempt to make the best of what we would soon leave behind unified our class, which once faced “‘cli- quedom.” Just when we were getting ner- vous over our futures — acceptance letters finally started rolling in from colleges. Now, we could relax. Replacing Surreywood parking lot, down- town Richmond became the scenario as local bands drew crowds of seniors. Many of us “took on new identities” in the pro- cess. Seniors guys 18 years old registered for the draft. Preparations for graduation and a little ‘‘senioritis’’ pulled us through. After attending our Prom, we neared our desired goal — escape from high school. And we made it!! Training for the Powderpuff game, Rene Instasi runs to make a play.

Kelly stated, “It was quite a surprise and lots of fun for me to be a princess.’ Kelly, who is vice- president of the junior class, was escorted by her father, Mr. Stan Hathaway. She was also one of the ten juniors to be tapped in to the National Honor Society. For the second year in a row, Andrea Trammell represented the class of '84 as princess, and was escorted by her father, Mr. William Trammell. When asked about the night, she stated, ‘It was very special to me because my best friend was also a prin- cess. The dance, sponsored by the SCA, was held in the cafeteria.

As marshals, they were required to attend the Senior Awards Assembly, where they gave out programs and ushered the seniors in; the Senior Ban- quet, where they took up tickets; and Bac- calaureate, where they also ushered the seniors. In addition, marshals helped make the Graduation ceremony run more smoothly by dividing up the rows of anx- ious seniors. Marshals included Oran Dil- lon, Alan Donley, Mandy Hamner, Kelly Hathaway, Jeff Hesler, Kathy Leverton, Kris Kotte, and Robby Newman. To be chosen a marsha! is quite an honor, as only eight juniors are allowed to partici- pate with the seniors during their gradu- ation rites. All the marshals were enrolled in intellectually stimulating classes such as Physics, and Honors English, which re- quired more input'than average courses. Plus, some worked part-time and or were involved in extra-curricular activities while still being required to maintain high GPA's.

The girls were observed for over a week and were chosen according to their leadership, cheering, partner stunts, gymastics, and dance abili- tles. The girls cheered for the WRXL radio crew as they competed against various middle and high school faculties in basketball games.

We need to start some- where, and this might put us ahead of the game,” stated many sophomore students. The administration took this into consider- ation, and they decided that it was a good idea. This started a new tradition — the election of sophomore class officers. The first major decision the officers faced was whether or not to construct a float for the homecoming festivities. The officers, headed by president Marvin Overton, called a meeting with two representatives from each homeroom. The decision was unanimous, and the sophomores con- structed a float. The theme was “Sopho- more Spirit Shines”’ and it won third place. That was the first of the many problems which the class confronted. ‘Money, what for?” asked Joe Massimilla. He was one of a number of students with the same question when the officers decid- ed to set two dollars as class dues. The officers found it hard to explain that the money was to be saved as a foundation for their junior and senior years, and also to help fund other money-making events. Mrs. Weideman and Mrs. Davis, the class sponsors, explained, ‘In any group situa- tion, there will always be those who will participate and those who won't.” This Kristen Nyman Eric O'Neal Lori Owen Kevin Owens Erik Packard Cynthia Palicia Melanie Parrish Shawn Pavey Joella Pemberton Ann Perlowski Jennifer Phillips Tracey Phillips Chris Pizzini Mike Powell Claudia Pratt Audra Price Lisa Price Mark Price 118 Sophomores Ny-Pr statement was focused on the collection of dues, the construction of the float, and the overall participation in all activities spon- sored by the class. Another big project was ordering class rings. The first step was selecting a small committee to decide on the design of the ring. Along with the five officers, Matt Lu- cas, Russ Johnson, Kelly Cunningham, and Suzy Staib were chosen to be on the committee. After this task was accom- plished, the entire class held an assembly with the ring company sponsor. Two days later, after much thought about the color, style, and cut of the stone, the students placed their orders. “It was a good experience for all of us to work together and make our own deci- sions,’ expressed Patricia Mealer. Lee Chapman noted, “Now we've had the chance to work with and get to know our classmates better. Even more important, the class has a little money to work with as a start for next year, particularly the Prom. We'll all be more aware of what to expect in the future.” Class Officers: President Marvin Overton, Vice- President Lee Chapman, Secretary Patricia Mealer, Treasurer Marci DeRenzo, Chaplain LeAnn Warren Mike Revels Paula Reynolds Tommy Richards Kathy Richardson Ricky Ricketts T Daryl Rickmond Angela Riggsbee Anne Ripley Grec J R« be rts Brenda Robertson Eric Robertson Jody Robertson Stephanie Robinette Andrea Robinson Herman Rogers Jamie Rorrer Donna Rowe Mike Rozum Hope Schaefer Richard Schwartz Mark Se kman Danny Seitter Becky Shalenk Theresa ; helt Tl Carl Shiles mermdan Elida Snow Harlan Spangler Kathy Spurlock Susan Stackpole Suzy Staib Stallard Chris Suzanne Steele Leigh Strawderman Donald Sturtz Eric Tatasciore Julie Thrower Robert Tiller hawna Upshaw ks A : vt 4 i vy ; ada VWVEK FE i VV CILIA ee | 1 West Kelly Wheeler Walter Whitt Laura Winsor Mary We ( d A7 nRoaney VVoodarda James Woodtin Joan Woodfin Nolan Woodfin Tara Yates leidi Yeatts ennifer Young ‘llen Yuntz Riding in the class float, Lisa Blasioli and Debbie Mason sail into a third place victory.

Class Spirit Shines By entering a float in the parade, the soph- omore class became a part of the Home- coming festivities for the first time. A committee of officers and representa- tives made many decisions: where to build the float, how to construct it, and where to find a big enough truck. With no money in the class treasury, the officers realized costs must be kept at a minimum. Atter deciding to make the float resemble a boat race, students met in Lisa Blasioli’s yard to construct it. “It was a lot of fun, and everyone worked great together. Now the blue grass adds color to the yard,” she commented. The result was a fancily-painted Lance sailboat sailing past a Meadowbrook Mon arch boat left to sink in the ocean. The boating theme was chosen to correspond to the Homecoming theme, ‘‘Sail On.” The float took third place in the parade. The effort was great, especially for their tirst year.

Many of our talented seniors have graduated, leaving many openings in Jazz.’ Filling these openings was a difficult task, as 150 stu- dents auditioned for positions. Five of these openings were filled by freshmen: Curtis Cornell, Howard Halvorson, Johnny McGill, Tommy Reed, and Peter Villiger. ‘Actually, this is the first year ever that freshmen have sung in the Jazz Choir,’ she stated. ‘'It is very unusual for freshmen to be singing in this choir.”’ These five students are not new to singing as they have had three years prior exper- ience at Providence. ‘They learned a lot at Providence,’ said Mrs. Wood. “It shows in their performance.

The team effort was reflected in various activities in which the teachers were the major participants. The Donkey Basketball game, the faculty chorus, and the Senior v. the Faculty Basketball game demonstrated teachers efforts to show stu- dents another side of themselves. Mrs. Eggleston felt these activities enabled her to be ‘more personally involved with her students. Faculty activities, which generat- ed excitement, were eagerly awaited and boosted school morale. Students and teachers agree that the activities, while promoting a rivalry of sorts, create more harmony among the teachers and stu- dents. Mrs. Bowden, a faculty cheerleader, said, ‘It's a way in which I show my students that | care.’ The students appreciate the teach- Mike Angelo: Cortland St. College, B.A U.N.Y., M.S.; Reading; Football Coach Pat Axel: James Madison Univ., B.S Carol Bass: Mary Washington, U.

After the final “tone,” one could find students staying after school, not just for help on an analysis problem, but just to 'rap”’ with their teach- ers. Students felt free to discuss with their instructors such topics ranging from col- lege anxieties to the thoughts on the last episode of Mash. Miss Crank, in order to keep in contact with new and old students, sent out congratulation and pep notes to students making honor roll or an outstand- ing athletic achievement. One senior com- mented, ‘'] think it says a lot for a teacher when they are willing to take time out of their busy schedule to recognize us for our efforts. It really means a lot, and in turn, makes us want to work harder in the class- room to show our appreciation.’ The P.T.S.A. commended students who made the honor roll with carnations. The former apathy between students and faculty appeared to be fading away. Teachers began taking a more active role in the school and with their students. The ‘‘teachers-are-inhuman’’ myth was re- solved when students began developing working teacher student relationships. '] think we were lucky in that our teachers were willing to take a personal stake in us as students,’’ commented Laura Dillard. Pettin’ a pup.

M.I Algebra Carrying A Yuletide Tune Watch out Capital Swing. Don't look back Madrigals. Something is gaining on you. The faculty chorus of MHS presented its Yuletide melodies to the students during the Christmas choral assembly. As the teachers began to sing ‘We Three Kings of Manchester High”, the three kings, Mr. Jones, Mr. Walker, and Mr. Wood, walked solemnly down the isle. Special lyrics to Christmas favorites were provided by Mr. Gunter. The teachers turned the tables on the vacation-yearning students in one song by happily proclaiming “one more day ‘til school lets out!’ The number which brought students to their feet was the ‘Twelve Da ys of Christmas.’’ Mrs. Raghu’s turtle dove, Mr. Storino’s resonating “! gold rings,’ and Mr. Wingard's impromtu word substitutions evoked cheers from the students. The teacher’s chorus was a su! prise Christmas gift to the students. Getting into the Christmas spirit, th 10rus performs its original melodies for the st Alumnus Returns In New Role ‘The phrase ‘Go Lancers’ probably means more to me than people might think,” re- marked Assistant Principal Mr. Aubrey Wood. ‘Manchester is more than just my place of occupation: it is my alma mater.” Things have changed since Mr. Wood was a student. The school moved from its old building to the present location. Mr. Wood noted changes in other areas. ‘Cars, out- side jobs, and activities unrelated to school now seem to dominate a student's inter- ests. Back when | was a student here, school was the center of our social lives.” Mr. Wood cited a positive difference be- tween school life now and school life dur- ing his high school days. ‘Better relation- ships have developed between the faculty and the students.

As the game heated up, so did the packed gym. The more ornery the donkeys became, the louder the cheers. But, were the students rooting for the donkeys or the teachers? Mr. Wood spent the second half of the game avoiding the kicks of his little, but fiesty burro. Miss Wallmeyer’s donkey thought he'd get a pick-up game going in the halls. The clean up crew, Mr. Swelnis and Mr. Jones, wast- ed no time in getting the dirty work done. The next day Mr. Storino, who paintully admitted that he could not sit down, com- mented, “I suspect that donkeys do not altogether enjoy being ridden.” Stubborn donkeys and teachers, who were good sports, combined for a winning combina- tion that had the Lancer gym packed full with enthusiastic students. What do you say faculty, anybody for another game of donkey basketball? Finally getting his bands on the ball, Coach Smith hesitantly trots his donkey down the art SPORT. Winning Even While Losing Athletics to many Lancers was more than just gym class; it was a form of alter school involvement. Students who otherwise might not have felt they really contributed to the school found their contribution in various forms of sports. As freshman Dean Johnson commented, “Sports made me feel like | was really a part of the school. If] hadn't played sports right from the begin- ning, | don't think | would have gotten to know so many other students and upper- classmen so fast.” No team went through the school year without racking up at least one victory. And certain sports, such as Varsity boys, Varsity girls, and JV boys’, and JV girls’ basketball teams, not to mention others tal- lied up enough victories to make them- selves vital threats to other teams in the county. But even if each team did not win every game, they still each walked off of the field, the court, the course, or the track as win- ners: each player had done his or her best to cap off a victory. If they failed to win, they still had the experience to remember. They could possibly even use the mistakes they made as a means of improving their talent and as a way of insuring that they not make similar mistakes again. Besides the rewards that the players got from the experience of playing team sports, other Lancers, the spectators, came out as victors. They cheered endlessly, even when it seemed hopeless. The spec- tators helped the players make sports a vital link to their active school lives.

We were forced to play a lot of the youn- ger guys who would not ordinarily have gone in the game. This gave them valuable experience, plus a couple of pleasant sur- prises for the whole team,’’ Coach Johnson added. Despite injuries, several team members were chosen for the All District team: Keith Ochoa and Doug Staib made 2nd team, and Co-Captain Dwayne Ligon, Layne Farmer, and Allan Todd received honor- able mentions. Senior Doug Staib was awarded three of the four awards at the football banquet; he was named Back of the Year, Most Valuable Player, and re- ceived the Coachs’ Award.

But, after the team had won three games in a row, the outlook improved. Much of the credit for the victories be- longed to Coach Spears and Coach Reyn- olds. But, as Coach Reynolds explained, ‘The freshmen and sophomores had such a great desire to win, no opponents could seem to stop them.” The team’s desire led them to victory against all opponents but Varina. The offense scored a total of 108 points during the season, 30 coming from Darry] Thompson. The defense aided the offense, particularly due to the tacklers Chris Piz- zini, Larry Kriebel, and Darryl Thompson. Together they racked up 158 tackles. The defense gave up an average of 84 yards per game, holding seven teams scoreless. Looking for an opening, halfback Ken Crocker zooms down the field to lead the team to a 21-0 victory against Bird.

Most of the new members had never played hockey before, so practices concentrated on orientating them to the game. With half a team of sophomores, Coach Wallmeyer called the year “'a building season.” A J.V. team was formed, giving freshmen and sophomores experience. The season also marked the end of the careers of mem- bers from the original team.

The team consisted of twelve members, only three of whom were seniors. In the words of golf coach Lloyd Swelnis, Doug Hartz, a fourth year mem- ber of the team, ‘'set the pace for the rest of the guys because of his experience and leadership.” The team finished up its season with a re- cord of 6 wins, 2 losses, and | tie. In an outstanding game against Godwin, the golf team set a new school record of twelve holes with the score of 196-199. Advanc- ing to the District Championship, they fin- ished in third place. And, for the first time ever, the team qualified for the Regional Tournament. There, they also came in third place. Freshman Steve Serrao was chosen to be a member of the All District golf team.

We had lost last year’s five starters and only had three seniors to fill the positions,’’ stated Coach Charlie Smith. Once the season was underway, however, the team proved that they were just as capable of winning as any team in the district. In fact, they were the only team in the district to finish undefeated to L.C. Bird. Seniors Kelvin Haskins and Todd Ukrop led the team in scoring and rebounds. Their talent enabled them to receive All District honors: Ukrop received an honor- able mention and Haskins was named to the second District team. Two sophomores also helped the team to advance their record to 1 2-8. Phil DeBerry and Chris Bratcher, as guards, rounded out the starting line-up consisting also of Todd Ukrop, Kelvin Haskins, and Drew Hepler. These five players led the team to the District Tournament where they were eliminated in the first round by Varina by a score of 47 to 58.

The team finished the season with a record of 14 wins and 6 losses. Two of their most impressive victo- ries came when they beat Meadowbrook, the number one team in the district. For the second year in a row, the team advanced to the District Tournament Championship final. And, for the second year in a row, they went home in second place. Co-captain Danny Seiter remarked, “It was pretty upsetting not to finish first in the district, especially since we had had our chance once before.” At the awards banquet several team mem- bers won honors. Freshmen William Smith was named the Best Rebounder, sopho- more Chris Pizzini was chosen Best Hustle, and Co-captain Bryon Nelson was named the team’s Most Valuable Player.

Wrestling Coach Johnson commented, ‘We had a very good turnout of wrestlers. The large number of freshmen and sopho- mores who wrestled really added a lot to our team.’ Although the team’s overall re- cord may not show it, many individual wrestlers excelled. Three team members, Randy Hanvey, Scott Hovermale, and Jeff Saunders, advanced to state competition. At 138 pounds, senior Randy Hanvey fin- ished third in the entire state of Virginia. The gymnastics team, led by Coach Terri Vega, won the most points in the balance beam category. As Laura Winsor re- marked, “Tracie Settle, Suzie Rozum, and Patricia Mealer were probably our out- standing team members. Their ability to rack up high scores in a variety of events helped to win several matches.” The girls participated in floor routines, the beam, the unparallel bars, and the vault. Tracie Settle represented the team at the regional meet. During a wrestling match, Scott Hovermale has the advantage as he attempts to pin his opponent down to the mat. Another Olga?

The girls tennis team, with five freshmen and only three return- ing members, knew this would be a build- ing season. Laura Mussleman, however, the number one seed, traveled to Districts to play singles. Along with Laura, fresh- men Sonja Owens and Tracy Hesler went to Districts for their compatibility as dou- bles partners. The boys team, with more experience, lost only three matches. An exchange student from Germany, Rainer Wenzel, provided strong play for the team as the number one seed. Rainer was chosen to represent the team in District singles. Scott Sanger and Eric Robertson compiled their talents and wits to advance to the semi-finals in the District meet. David Gore, Ricky Butts, and Terence Harrington also provided the team with strong performances. Aiming to hit the sweet spot, Scott Sanger bends down to hit a forehand during practice.

Leading the team, Allen Todd accumulat- ed 20 goals and 7 assists while lineman Jeff Tarkington collected 9 goals and 14 as- sists. John Lambert contributed 7 goals and 8 assists. The only senior, Steve Harris, maintained an overall 89.0% save per- centage as goalie. Receiving awards were Allen Todd for Most Valuable Player, Richard Schwartz for Most Improved, and Darren Lee for Coach's Award.

The team placed third in the District, which matched them against Powhatan and Mea- dowbrook in the District Tournament. The Lancers defeated the number two and one teams in the tourney to advance to Region- al play. They defeated Brunswick, but lost to Poquoson by a score of 8 to 4. Leading the team were pitcher Lynn Tilgh- man and strong batter Julie Lewis. Lynn broke two school records for pitching: one for the most strike-outs in a game, which was ten, and the other for the most strike- outs in a season, which was 110. With a batting average of .483, Julie had the high- est average on the team. Coach Johnson awarded several of her players for their hustle and determination. The MVP was Lynn Tilghman, Most Im- proved was Karen Martin, Golden Glove Awardees were Cindy Damewood and Annette Easterling, and Coaches’ Award went to Julie Lewis.

The team succeeded in improving its record from over the past three years, ’ commented Coach Spears. The Varsity team, led by Captains Lonnie Johnson and Randy King, received sixth place in a league of eleven teams. The team, howev- er, lost their bid to the District Tournament by one game. The team was characterized by young, but effective, pitching on the part of junior Scott Hovermale and sophomore Chris Bratcher. Junior Sheldon Bogaz and Sen- iors Doug Staib and Malcolm Case pro- vided the team with a strong hitting base. Bobby Brown and Randy King were named first team All District as representa- tives from the team. At the end of the sea- son, the team posted an eight win, ten loss record. After hitting a successful grounder, Senior Doug Staib watches his teammates round the bases as he approaches first base.

However, we lost a lot of strong players to the Varsity. Unfortunately, we also lost some close games and made a few errors,” stated Coach Daniels. He felt that his most prom- ising player was Mike Spear who had a 425 batting average. He also pitched a no hitter against Matoaca. He added that Scott Larson “had a good arm” and was “‘a strong defensive catcher.’’ Other players cited were Larry Kriebel who batted a .444 and Chris Bartlett who batted a .385. The Best Pitcher Award went to Jeff Bond who pitched three shut-outs: two against Godwin and one against Powhatan. In ad- dition, he batted a .388. Also receiving an award was Rick Chalkley as MVP. Rick was Co-Captain, played first base and the outfield, and pitched. He batted a .594.

Fiercely, Track Teams zoomed into competition against district opponents. Led by Tri-Captains Lisa Blackburn, Lisa Kin, and Jennifer Johnston, the Girls’ Track Team completed the season with a 6-4 record. At Regionals, Lisa Blackburn ran the 220, 440, and competed in the shotput and discus; Sarah Clark ran the 880; Jody Walton, Lisa Kin, Jackie Walker, and Sarah Clark ran the mile relay. The Boys’ Track Team also enjoyed a suc- cessful season. Senior Shawn Rossi set a school record of 6’4 in the high jump. The 880 relay team of Mike Lucas, John Dandy, Steve Mitchell, and Phil DeBerry set a record of 131.9 seconds. The 880 relay team, hurdler Tony Hall, jumper Shawn Rossi, and runners Peter Villiger and John Page advanced to Regionals. Freshman Jeff Baldwin pole vaulted to the State Meet.

The varsity squad, sponsored by Miss Mozingo, placed first in the Variety Show competition. They performed a dance routine to the sound of ‘‘The Beat Goes On. ’ The SCA awarded the group $75, which they divided among them- elves. Karen Kilpatrick stated, “Winning first place made it worth all the hard work and practices we went through!” rr J During the winter season, the cheerlead ing squads made pep signs for the football and basketball teams. Aside from cheering at all sporting events, the varsity squad sold book covers and donuts to raise mon- ey for the purchase of new Homecoming uniforms. They also answered telephones for the “‘Channel 23 Telethon.'’ The JV squad, sponsored by Ms. Marshall, sold suntan lotion to raise money for new Homecoming uniforms for next year.

After all, it is the people who make a club either effec- tive or ineffective, active or inactive. And, surely sound leadership keeps all of a club’s members motivated and in line. As yearbook editor Andy Clark noted, “There is no denying that the members, not so much the leaders and officers, are the people who really enable a club to succeed. | know that if we hadni had a staff who was eager to accept responsibil- ity, we never would have been able to pro- duce the annual.” Several clubs did work ettectively to make their goals accessible. The Student Coop- erative Association, with Mrs. Easton as sponsor, moved ‘fast forward making school improvements. They fearlessly took the challenge of re-writing each clubs constitution. They also organized a candy sale and a flea market. The Variety Show, as SCA Vice-President Kay Hargrave de- scribed it, was perhaps ‘the most success- ful club-sponsored activity of the year. Likewise, the National Honor Society moved away irom its previous classifica- tion as merely an honorary society to func- tion as more of a club. All of the changes and improvements made in the various clubs were the actual work of club officers and members. All credit rightfully belonged to the Lancers. They had attempted new activities and had succeeded in changing for the better. Lancers had made the clubs meaningful activities; not just organizations to join, but organizations to participate in.

Just trying to meet deadlines is a near impossi- ble feat,’ commented Memoir Editors Andy Clark and Amy Weston. The year- book underwent several changes. The staff sought to update the overall appearance of the yearbook with graphics and a new type style. With its new headquarters located in an office in Mrs. Smith's room, the Editors established a center for yearbook activity. The editors and Editors-in-Chief endured many sleepless nights trying to finish enough layouts to complete a deadline. The Communique staff, too, worked many long hours attempting to complete their layouts in time to send to the publish er. Editors Kelly Cunningham and Paul Berkley changed the format of the news- paper so that it focused on the more unusu- al aspects of Lancer life. The Communi- que added a staff artist, Amy Bucklen, who designed the covers and artwork used throughout the issues. Although both staffs were often discouraged by the pressures of the responsibility, they succeeded in producing their literary opus’.

Since the band was relatively small, each member had to work with great devotion to make the performances first-rate. They began by practicing their routines several times a week during the summer. Then, even once school had begun, the band id the auxiliary units practiced every day after school to insure that their formations and routines would remain fresh in their minds. All this practice payed off; as Susie Staib commented, “It was obvious that the band had rehearsed their routines many times before their football game perfor- mances. ” e)) Part of the attraction of the Marching Lanc- ers is the ornate show they put on at halt times. With the majorettes, Lancerettes, ri- tle squad, and flag team all performing in unison, the band provides endless attrac- tion to one’s eyes. And, to top off the visual display, they play up-to-date tunes to stim- ulate one’s ears. egies ina eres ae Murrell freezes in a itue-like pose and waits to begin playing the next minis the orientation performance, Cindy he waits to begin her routine.

Lancers prepare to present their show Staging New Routines Hectic Schedule Requires Dedication For each event in which the Marching Lancers performed, it seemed, they re- hearsed and presented a different show. This of course meant that each member of the band and its auxiliaries had to keep pace with their busy schedule. Football season was by far the band’s bu- siest time of year. Lancerette Captain April Garrison commented, ‘Naturally fall was our most hectic time. One advantage of having to perform so often, however, was that it kept the routines fresh in minds.” Besides performing at all the football games, the Lancerette squad, spelling out the school’s motto, led the Marching Lanc- ers in several parades. They marched in the Williamsburg Christmas Parade, the Bensley Parade, and the Azalea Parade. The squad also showed off their upbeat routines at pep rallies, orientation, and the Student Faculty Basketball game. “We tried to make our show even more interest- ing by incorporating a glove routine to ‘On Broadway’,”’ stated Diane Pulley. Like the Lancerette s, the flag team and the rifle squad performed their routines in the various parades and at the football games. Flag squad Captain Kate Lambert stated, ‘I missed the opportunity of performing at the pep rallies. Still, we got the chance to perform at the front of the band during a few more songs at the football games.” Both squads found it hard to keep up with the new songs that the band was constantly incorporating into the show. ‘We really had to practice a lot to invent new routines to go with the music. It was kinda challeng- ing to constantly be creating new steps,”’ remarked Paige Ganzert. Marching Lancers Front Row: Mr. Wooldridge, M. Hamrick, V. King, C. Will, J. Greene, T. Hall; Row 2: B.

They began by sponsoring the Miss Manchester Pageant, a beauty and talent contest for female students. The con- testants were judged in various categories, including talent, evening dress, swim suit, personality, and poise. When the judges’ votes were tabulated, Chrissy Will was first runner-up and Kelly Brisby was crowned Miss Manchester. Late in the fall the Triptych Players pro- duced the play ‘The Fantastiks.’’ This show, done in intimate theater, was unique because the audience sat not more than a few feet away from the actors and ac- tresses. The play told the touching story of two lovers who, after being betrothed t one another by their parents, began to an noy each other to the point that each could not tolerate the other. Philip Ventrella re marked, “It was hard for me to block the audience out. Just the fact that they were sitting so close to the action intimidated me.” To cap off the year, the Triptych Players sponsored a spring play. The organization also held an awards banquet where each senior club member read his or her last will and testament. Truly, the club had a busy year. Double Image.

NHS made a 3.8 grade point aver- age necessary for me mbership. Member- ship was also based on school leadership, service, personal integrity, and personal- ity. This made it important for students to be active participants in extra-curricular activities or sports. Once students were approved for mem- bership by both the faculty and the guid- ance department, they were inducted into NHS during the tapping ceremony. Mem- bers, adorned in purple gowns and armed with tapping sticks, ventured into the audi- ence to tap the unsuspecting students once on each shoulder. After the induction ceremony, new members and their par- ents adjourned to the library for congratu- lation refreshments. NHS sponsored two major fund-raising ac- tivities. Club members braved the chill of cold Saturday mornings to sell baked goods at Ukrop’s. They raffled off a stereo radio in the ‘Take a Chance” project. The club used the money earned from these projects for a scholarship. This scholarship was awarded to a deserving senior. Quill Scroll, a society for honoring jour- nalists, grew in membership. The club in- ducted Nicole Buzzo, Kelly Cunningham, Laura Dillard, Marci Dikenzo and Kim Thomas at this year’s ceremonies. Each 1ew member was recommended by either the sponsor of the yearbook or of the news- paper. New inductees were also all mem- bers of the top third portion of their class.

A member must work the concession stands during sport- ing events and Bingo. The workers are re- quired to set up the food displays, cook hot dogs, keep track of money, and clean up afterwards. Usually a member works for the club four or five times a year. Through the club, jackets and sweaters are ordered. As a reward for working the con- cession stands, the organization pays back seniors in full for their letter jacket or sweater. ‘Monogram has been a good in- vestment for me because while I enjoyed working for the club, I also received my sweater free of charge,’ commented Julie Lewis.

Under the direction of Mrs. Susan Wood, all four choruses, the Mixed Choir, Lance Singers, Madrigals, and Capital Swing, achieved excellence. The Mixed Choir, Lance Singers, and Madrigals participated in the district festi- val in March. For the first time since the groups began competing in this festival, each received a superior rating of “1” from all three judges. On March 26, Capital Swing traveled to E.C. Glass High School in Lynchburg to compete in the third annual E.C. Glass In- vitational Show Choir Competition. They brought home the Grand Champion tro- phy, $250, and another trophy for the best vocal quality of all performing groups. Choirs from four states participated in the event and the MHS choirs faced strong competitors. In addition to these festivals, the choirs presented four school assemblies, three major concerts, and participated in All- County, All-Regional, and All-State chor- uses. They also performed for civic organi- zations, churches, and the Virginia Museum. In May, the Madrigals sang at the National Cathedral in Washington. In the various performances the choruses gave during the year, a medley of songs were presented. Capital Swing sang ‘'Fan- tasy’ along with a choreographed pro- gram. The Lance Singers exclaimed “| Am Woman,” while the Madrigals vocalized Their Playing My Song.”’ When all four choruses combined their talent into one program, their endless variety of songs captivated the audience. Slappin’ their thighs and stompin’ their feet, Dan ny Seitter and Steve Phillips sing “Rocky Toy European Flair Without Traveling Abroad Parlez-vous francais? Tu hablas espanol? Non vocamus Latinam. Students who take a foreign language, either French, Span- sh, or Latin, would be privy to the mean- ing of these phrases. During Foreign Lan- guage Week, students were urged to take a foreign language. Posters, buttons, and hats were made by students to boast sign- ing up for the classes. Announcements were also made in the morning in French, German, and Spanish. The French Club participated in several activities. A Homecoming float was made with the theme ‘‘Decapitez-les Monarchs.” They hosted a reception in the spring for all students who made an ’A” in their for- eign language. When Sylvie Grasland and Caroline Grandierre from visited MHS, the club provided for their lunch. Buttons and pens were sold to raise money during the Fine Arts Festival as well candy during the SCA sale. For Christmas, they sponsored a needy family. The Spanish Club sold food in the Fine Arts Festival. For a service project they went caroling at a convalescent center. To raise money, they participated in the SCA candy sale and saved newspapers for re- cycling. At the end of the year, the club awarded a $75 scholarship to an outstand- ing Spanish student. The Latin Club sent Certamin Teams from the lower levels to Woodson High School in Fairfax. They attended the Latin Con- vention in Norfolk at the Omni and also attended the County Wide Latin Banquet at Bird High School. With all these stu- dents taking foreign languages, MHS has become a cosmopolitan school. Behead the Monarchs.

A Clubs Gear Members To Careers When a person thinks of home economics, usually ‘“Suzy Homemaker’ with her apron and broom comes to mind. FHA members at MHS, however, proved this myth to be a fallacy, as they worked in the kitchen as well as outside of it. FHA, otherwise known as the Future Homemakers of America, was an organiza- tion open to any student who had taken a semester of home economics. In working with the Federation, the club hosted the Fall Rally. They set a new tradition by en- tering the first FHA float in the Homecom- ing parade. In order to raise money, they participated in the SCA candy drive and also sold cookbooks. The home economics and family living classes held a mock wed- ding and reception, joining in “marriage” Connie Jamerson and Cliff Connell. FBLA, a club for business students, also entered a float in the Homemaking pa- rade. To inflate their treasury, they sold M M's and stationery supplies. In a joint effort, FBLA and FHA sponsored the facul- ty Christmas party. ‘We got to see the fac- ulty let their hair down and mingle among the students, ’ stated Karen Woodson, FHA president. As service projects, FBLA provided a needy child with Christmas presents and made typing favors for chil- dren at Chippenham Hospital. They en- tered students in the state typing competi- tion and brought home first place prize winners. Both FBLA and FHA were clubs dedicated to expounding on classroom sit- uations by creating real-life experiments. In the FHA induction ceremony, president Karen Woodson speaks to club members as she lights her candle. Celebrating their ‘marriage,’ Connie Jamers and Cliff Connell feed each other wedding cake dur ing the mock wedding in family living. CRUCH-PUT ADS Businesses Give Link To Real World As residents of Chesterfield County, stu- dents were naturally alfected by the com- munity events and businesses which sur- rounded them. Lancers were influenced by advertising, often aimed specitically at teenagers, and thus shopped in certain stores or areas. Many students became more than mere consumers; they became responsible for offering services to other people by actively seeking employment. Amy Weston, a senior and a clothes sale- sperson, commented, | think that by working for a business or company a stu- dent can gain valuable experience in de- ciding a future career or aspiration. Even if a person doesn't plan to continue working in one area, at least he has gotten to learn how business works. ” Store discounts olfered students incentives to work at local stores. Most clothing, de- partment, and specialty shops offered their employees store discounts. A few tast food restaurants gave their employees left over iood at closing time. As April Garrison re- marked, ‘I would be more apt to shop at a store where | worked, not only because of the convenience, but also because of the discounts.” Obviously the community businesses real- ize the business high school students give them. Sal’s and McDonald's are examples of the importance certain businesses play in student's lives. On almost any day after school and after sporting events, Lancers can be found frequenting these restau- rants. Likewise, on any evening students can be found shopping in the various clothing and department stores.

Myron and Bettie Gerbil Credit Where It’s Due After setting up an office, Editors-in-Chief Andy Clark and Amy Weston began de- termining deadlines.
