Prophecies of doom from all sides did not cramp styles; on the contrary, the Lancer uniqueness thrived and prospered as 1984 arrived. Attempts to accommodate the new tech- nology accompanying the New Year were evident from AP Computer courses to the sound of a tone instead of a dismissal bell. Other novelties included a new library with “‘sensored”’ instead of censored books, and new, air-conditioned build- ings. A new organization, the Inner-School Council, aspired to unify all clubs, while the newly chartered National Art Honor Society sought to recognize exceptional art students. The results of the changes proved to be positive for students and faculty, and avoided the normal predictions for 1984. George Orwell's 1984 possessed similar- ities in terms of change, but not in the gloomy outcomes. Students managed to keep spirit, hope, and individuality alive in 1984.

Opening 3 Changes Add to Spirit @ The excitement of the first week of school wore off; and, students began to realize that academics demanded their time. However, much more went into students’ days than studies, which were, of course, the most important priorities. Football games, parties, Pizza Hut, parties, dances, and parties were all important words in a Lancer’s vocabulary. Sports and spirit were important during the school year, as always. A push for more spirit resulted in the election of a new Lanny and a Lanny committee to help out with the workload. Both girls’ and boys’ basketball teams saw the re- sults of the extra effort to raise spirit. Re- cord crowds cheering at the games gave tremendous support to the teams. Both basketball teams had winning seasons. Cooperation and communication were the keys to getting things done. Changes occurred because of the Senior Forum, where Mr. Jones addressed questions and complaints. The first Senior-planned pep rally also showed the cooperation between the students and the administra- tion. As the school year ended with prom and graduation, all of the activities students participated in were on their minds. 1984 brought about many new things, all of which were taken in with the enthusi- asm each Lancer possessed throughout the year. V-I-C-T-O-R-Y is the cry the Varsity Cheerleaders cry at a football game. “Can’t this mule go any faster?” Coach Charlie Smith and friend go for two points at the Donkey Basket: ball Game.

From Homecoming to graduation, every undertaking demanded dedication from students. As projects moved from plan- ning to final stages, Lancer involvement and determination produced excellent re- sults. With help from all types of students from every class, activities were usually la- beled a success. Lancer devotion provided a wondertul Homecoming Parade due to precise orga- nization. An exciting Powderpuff game showed the hard work that went on during practices. Early 1984 brought with it exam tensions and dance preparations. Instead of a traditional Sadie Hawkins dance, Ju- niors decided to change the pace and have a dance that featured student disc- ‘jockeys. Spring arrived and so did Senior anticipa- tion. Excellence seemed to abound, even as students became anxious to get out of school. The production of Twelve Angry Jurers was a big hit as well as the activities sponsored by the Student Cooperative as- sociation to get larger club memberships. Spring break and beach trips brought an even higher anticipation of Graduation, Prom, the Awards Assembly, and the Sen- ior Banquet. Everything bore evidence of the hard work students put forth to ensure that all activities had the mark of excel- lence. “We are number one!” Seniors Mel Alexander, Chris Conk, David Harold, Keith Mann, and Robert Smith show their enthusiasm at a pep rally.

As Friday evening loomed in all Lancer horizons, club members, class representatives, cheerleaders, and princesses showed up at school to prepare for the parade. Float workers labored to produce the final product of their efforts over several weeks. All eyes were on the judges as they decided upon the first-place float. “Highjack the Skyhawks” was the theme of the winning Junior float. The second-place Senior float displayed the theme ‘Stuff the Skyhawks” while a bird was stuffed with Lancer power. During halftime, the floats made an- other trip around the field followed by the Homecoming princesses. The un- derclass princesses surrounded Senior princesses Cindy Damewood, Tracie Fischer, Mandy Hamner, Kelly Hathaway, Lisa Goldston, and Laura Musselman on the field. Last year’s queen, Kay Hargrave, built up tension as she walked back and forth behind each princess. Finally, Kay crowned Tracie Fischer as the 1983 Homecom- ing Queen. As tears of joy poured from Tracie, Mr. Jones escorted her to be ap- plauded by the entire Lancer Stadium. Later, princess Cindy Damewood re- marked that, ‘It was an honor to repre- sent the Senior class; and it was some- thing I will always remember.” Hargrave, crowns Mr. Jones observes. Crowd pleasers of a different kind, Robin Ellis and Jenny Mann attempt to put smiles on Lancer faces. Homecoming 9 Concentration!

Nancy Ames, Dean Johnson, Chris ratcher, and Barbara Dalmer enjoy dancing to “All light Long”’ at the Homecoming Dance. Making Memories Dancing to the sounds of Fullhouse, stu- dents began to see why the Homecoming Dance was a success. The theme was ‘Memories’, and it paid tribute to the twenty years that the Manchester building has been where it now dwells. And the nemories were great. Everyone enjoyed the music and had a great time. Sopho- more Kristin Benson even joined the band in a song and helped to make a magical evening for all. The Homecoming game was not as magi- cal but equally as exciting for the Lancers. L.C. Bird was the Homecoming rival, and the Skyhawks gave the Lancers a tough game. The Skyhawks scored in the first and second quarters, making the score O- 18. Still in the second quarter, the Lancers pushed hard for a first-half score. William Smith ran for six yards to make the score 7- 18 at halftime. During the second half the Lancers may have lacked a few points, but they did not lack determination. Special efforts by Glen Collins and Russell McKinnon looked hopeful; however, Bird defeated Manchester 7-31. Everyone was disap- pointed, especially senior players, who had played their last Homecoming. But the Lancers did not let one loss get them down for long. They bounced back to prepare for another game. Caged up, Chad Smith poses as a Skyhawk on the French Club float.

Trying Hard The Powderpuff Game turned out to be a disappointment for many. As usual, the word got out that the Seniors were ‘“‘out for blood”, and, as usual, the juniors got scared. This year, though, the administra- tion decided that things had gone too far. With Seniors asking how the game could be played without the rivalry, Mr. Jones gave a warning to play fairly. On the night of the game, Senior spirit was at it’s peak as Seniors surrounded the Juniors exercising on the field. As the game started, the Seniors began to won- der why the warning against roughness was given to them. ‘‘Wait a minute”, re- marked Senior Paige Ganzert, ‘I thought we were the ones out for blood, what happened?” That was the sentiment felt throughout the game by many seniors. Everyone played as best as they could, and outstanding performances came from Seniors Kelly Brisby, Annette Eas- terling, and Treva Martin. Juniors Marci DiRenzo and Anne Ripley each had two touchdowns a piece to help bring about the defeat of the Seniors. The Seniors did not win, but they had the Senior attitude, and that was not to let anything get them down. To Seniors, to be the class of 1984 said it all.

Pandemonium was prevalent when the Lancerettes, Majorettes, and band performed one after the other. After the pep rally makeover, skits and plays dominated the action along with the class competition for the spirit banner. During the first pep rally, emotions were stirred up to combat the Clover Hill Cava- liers. Mike Wildasin narrated the story of the dead Lancer Spirit, played by Carol Bass, coming back to life to defeat the Cavalier, Donne Storino. Other pep rallies featured talent contests, football and bas- ketball games, and a Mr. Manchester pag- eant. A pep rally planned by seniors brought more changes in format. A tug-o-war be- tween the class officers and a senior pyra- mid were the highlights of this rally. By proving to the administration that they could handle the responsibility, students set a precedent for other pep rallies. Triumph! Lancer Spirit Carol Bass was resurrected to defeat the Cavalier, Donne Storino. Pep Rallies 15 What's lel... What's Not... One of the key concerns for students in 1984 was fashion. New fads, such as Break dancing and the popular game Trivial Pur- suit, were ushered in with enthusiasm. Tra- ditions such as long Homecoming dresses were booted out the door. Students were ready for the fashion changes and adapted well. One of the big- gest shifts of popularity was from listening to music on the radio to watching Music Television. For many, the “‘soaps’’ took a back seat to MTV. Other changes were evident in clothing and jewelry. Whatever was ‘in’ in 1984 was definitely HOT. Showing Their Stuff, Thomi Hauston and K.C. Carter demonstrate the current steps of Break Danc- ing. Give Me a Hug!

This year’s theme was ‘come in your favorite beach attire.’’ Many wore shorts, beach shirts and sunglasses. Also, to add to this change of theme, a D.J. con- test was introduced. Instead of hiring a professional D.J., students played the mu- sic. All the participants had a certain amount of time to play their music and to show how well they could mix the music. Many dancers liked the variety of the mu- sic played by Paula and Amy Bucklin. Asa result, they were the winners of the D.]. contest. Lancers made comments about the D.J. contest and Sadie Hawkins: ‘The variety of music was super great, com- mented lantha Finley. ‘The idea of going to Sadie Hawkins in beach attire was really a different idea,’’ repeated Johnny McGill; and Karen Akins said, “'I really like Tracy Jude's style and his music was great.” The Junior Class sponsor, Mr. Jim Henry, often referred to as ‘‘Captain Chemistry,”’ strolled through the crowd in his personal- ized beach clothes.

Prep- arations for the Prom began months in ad- vance of the May 19th date. While stu- dents were making dates, the Junior Class was hard at work deciding on a place to hold the Prom. They eventually decided on the Defense General Supply Center's Cafeteria. The day arrived and after many pictures and elegant dinners, students entered the DGSC Cafeteria and were greeted by Prom Servers taking invitations and hand- ing out memory books. Listening to the music of sophomore Kristen Benson and her band, Excalibur, students danced the night away. At 10 o'clock, Prom Figure participants executed the traditional fig- ures such as the symbolic ‘‘M” represent- ing the school and an ‘'84” honoring the — graduating class. As Prom Figure was completed, the Prom King and Queen were chosen. Scott Ford and Mandy Hamner reigned over the crowd for the remainder of the evening. As the night progressed, talk and expecta- tions turned to breakfasts, beach trips, and other activities to come. ‘4 me uve gue 4 5 45 wy 5 KX 44s am ws RIA SIM RM 4 are a ren ce ee . aa Singing the King and Queen’s song, sophomore Kristen Benson puts her heart into the melody.

But, somehow it also marked the beginning of a new, more successful life. Early that morning, Seniors were treated to a breakfast hosted by the Senior Class Sponsors. After eating, Seniors lined up with their escorts and proceeded into the gym. During the assembly, the student body lis- tened to their class history read by Kim Thomas as well as a special poem read by Vice President Marci DiRenzo from the Ju- nior Class. Many Seniors were honored with scholarships and awards from the school departments, colleges, and the community. Valedictorian Alan Donley and Salutatorian Kelly Hathaway were named. The highest honor presented to a Senior, ‘Graduate of the Year,’’ was given to Many Hamner for her outstanding lead- ership and scholastic achievements. She was given a standing ovation from the stu- dent body. At the culmination of the assembly, a tradi- tional ‘‘moving of the Junior Class’ to the Senior section took place. Juniors enjoyed some of the Senior Privileges for the rest of the day.

The night began as the Seniors were greeted by the Junior Marshalls. They then proceeded into the dining room where they were served an elegant dinner. After everyone had eaten all they could, the entertainment began. Mrs. Eggleston started off the events by singing, ‘You've Gota Friend,” Jennifer McCloughan add- ed her talent by singing, ‘‘Memories”, which bought a tear to many eyes. Enter- tainment was also given by the Seniors themselves as many decided to place their napkins on their heads instead of their laps. The Last Will and Testament was read by Mel A lexander and Jerry Ray, accompa- nied by many laughs from the audience. The faculty got their revenge when the Teachers’ Last Will and Testament was read. The night ended with many hugs and good-byes.

Anxious seniors lined up while frantic teachers saw that everyone was present and dressed in cap and gown. Seniors then marched onto the football field and took their respective seats. Seniors sat nervously and listened to the graduation speakers. Class Chaplin Laura Musselman began the ceremony with a touching invocation. Class President and Class Salutatorian, Kelly Hathaway, wel- comed the parents and distinguished guest and then gave the '’Class President's Address.’ Requested by the Senior Class, facutly member George Michael Wildasin gave a strong, moving Graduation Ad- dress. Senior Class Sponsor Myra Shu- mate announced scholarships. Special music was performed by the Symphonic Band. Finally, the presentation of diplomas was started with faculty member Donne Stor- ino calling the graduates’ names, while Principal David Jones handed out diplo- mas. A benediction was then given by Chaplin Laura Musselman. David Jones then announced the Senior Class full- fledged graduates. Cries of joy and the traditional hats went flying as the an- nouncement was made. After the ceremony ended, Seniors were greeted by jubilant parents and friends and then posed for pictures.

Graduation 27 AGAVE Changes Improve Outlook As the major influencing factor in the Lancer’s lives, academics became the re- quired reason for attending classes. Every- day, students could be seen going back and forth to classes. The new construction made it more convenient for the upper- classmen. There were no more broken down trailers or cold walks from building to building. For the new freshmen, howev- er, changing classes became increasingly difficult as the school expanded. Because of the new construction, many de- partmental changes took place. The Eng- ish department was given the upstairs floor of the round building, while the histo- ry and foreign language departments shared the lower floor. The math depart- nent was given the newly constructed air- conditioned addition. To the delight of Mrs. Frymier, a new library was opened with a security system. Each department was also given a new Apple computer. In English, students experienced Roman traditions by re-enacting the Feast of the Lupercal and by presenting Manchester's version of the Canterbury tales. Moreover, students brushed up on their government skills by visiting the Virginia General As- sembly. A new class, advanced placement biology, was offered in the science department, while the science fair helped students in the art of experimentation. Other new classes offered were in the math depart- ment. Two of these were Computer Math and AP Computer. The home economics classes held recep- tions, so did the foreign language depart- ment, as they hosted receptions for stu-’ dents with outstanding averages during the year.

Under the direction of Ray Goss and Don- na Fox, Moliere’s The Dr. in Spite of Himself and the one act version of Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest were given to school audiences as well as public audiences. As spring arrived, production of Reginald Rose's Twelve Angry Jurors began. The play under the direction of Mr. Goss re- ceived little attention however. The play depicted an argument between jurors lis- tening to a criminal case. The Triptych players had a busy year with organizing and producing these plays. ‘‘We have fun acting in these plays. It’s exciting to get out on stage and become another person,” re- marked Ellen Duffie, president of the Trip- tych players.

OO W English and Foreign Language Hands on Experience AP Course added Science courses gave students the very knowledge they needed to discover the world around them. Students gathered knowledge not only by textbooks and lec- ures, but also by ‘hands on experience” in the lab stations. In Chemistry, students struggled to main- tain a good grade while performing ex- tended experiments on liquids, gasses, and metals. In biology, a new advanced pla cement curriculum was offered. In that class, students developed college level bi- ology skills. To help students better understand sci- ence classes, demonstrations gave stu- dents a chance to view and accept scienti- fic concepts. The Science Fair allowed parents, teach- ers, and students to view work done by science students. The Science Fair also al- lowed pupils to dwell into an area of sci- ence they were interested in. The varied courses offered in the science department allowed MHS to understand its surroundings. Measuring the volume of a diatomic liquid, Caroline Saunders helps Anne Ripley with the re- sults.

Vocational Skills are a Possible Alternative As an alternative to a demanding college preparatory schedule, students were giv- en a chance to learn a vocation. Juniors, seniors, and some sophomores were given the opportunity of going to the Chester- field Technical Center to receive training in the vocation of their choice. At the Chestertield Technical Center, the programs offered include Air conditioning and Refrigeration, Auto Mechanics, Auto Body Repair, Business Data Processing, Heating, Electricity, Electronics, Technical Drafting, Commercial Photography, Print- ing, Horticulture, Cosmetology, Cabinet- Making and Millwork, Carpentry, Mason- ry, Metal Fabrication, Nursing, Food Ser- vice, Surgical Technology, Practical Nursing, Plumbing and Pipefitting, a nd Welding. Students catch a bus before homeroom and go to the Tech Center, located near the Chesterfield Courthouse. Afternoon tech students leave for Tech at 10:30 a.m., but attend classes before they leave. All tech students must meet the mandatory 16 credits necessary for a general diploma in order to graduate. To many students, the Technical Center is an outlet and an alternative to daily pres- sures in school. The technical Center also offers students an opportunity to gain a skill for employment after graduation. Diligently working in Data Processing, Sandra Faison finishes her test.

With so many applications, it was hard to choose, remarked Mr. Woodcock. Mrs. Barbara Snyder sponsored the Davis teams, while Mr. Woodcock sponsored the Chalkley teams. Students were to direct learning activities for fifth graders. Topics that were included dealt with responsibil- ity, decision making, and sharing. Lesson plans were scheduled every three weeks. SODA team members taught for half hour sessions. After every lesson, team mem- bers were required to evaluate themselves with an additional evaluation by the class- room teacher. “It turned out to be really enlightening.

A prep- aration for competitive, interscholastic tournaments was taught to the debaters by Mr. Michael Wildasin and to the forensics students by Mrs. Diane Harris. During the year, the debaters and forensics students participated in and won several competi- tions. The debaters participated in ten tourna- ments which culminated in the State De- bate Tournament held at The University of Virginia on May 18-19th. Eight debaters advanced to statewide competition: Gin- ger Gay Diane Pulley — Affirmative team, Kelly Robinson Noelle Reese — Negative team, Steve Ferguson Bart Smith and Sharon Webb Jon Turner, Switchside debate teams. At an invitational tournament held at James Madison Uni- versity, Kelly Robinson was ranked tenth, Ginger Gay was ranked fifth, and Diane Pulley placed first from a field of 144 de- baters. The Forensics students also participated in many tournaments. In November, these students participated in the Monacan Invi- tational Tournaments. Their next step was on to the Dominion District Forensics meet at Midlothian High School. Of seven stu- dents participating, six students placed. Among these was Amy Bucklin who placed first in prose reading. The Foren- sics team was invited to participate in the Regional Forensics Tournament held at Longwood College.

On this day, students listened to speakers describing their various careers. The ca- reers represented ranged from Pro Sports to Medical Careers. With the help of dedi- cated SCA members, professionals were asked to volunteer their time to talk to stu- dents. While the project was in the primary stages, every students was given a career questionaire to fill out. From these ques- tionaires, career choices were narrowed down, and contact was begun. Career Day started with a small breakfast for the guest speakers and their SCA es- corts. Each guest speaker was then escort- ed to his assigned room. Students then proceeded to their 4 choices of careers. Students listened to each speaker for 20 minutes. After the sessions were over, ev- eryone was given an evaluation to com- plete in order to give an overall view of the day. The student consensus was generally good. As junior Lori Owen commented, ‘The sessions were good, but we needed more time for questions.’’ Career Days will be scheduled every 4 years so each class will have an opportunity to participate.

It was not uncommon to see seniors talking to freshmen. Teachers and students mixed well also. Mrs. Aparna Raghu, Mr. Mike Wilder, and Mr. Wildasin were seen con- versing with students over lunches. As Mr. Mike Wildasin noted, ‘It seems that talking with my students in lunch as well as in the halls keeps me atuned to the students’ feel- ings.’ A trust developed between the tac- ulty and students. ‘This trust helped us to feel comfortable,’’ Junior Cindy Janis com- mented, ‘‘When you get to know a teach- er, you develop sort of a friendship.” The freshman class became noticed as they mixed well with everyone. Standing out was Wendy Neely. She became the first treshman to capture a Dominion Dis- trict Championship in Cross Country. The Sophomore class stepped into and out of the spotlight as they became involved in various activities. In Forensics, Sophomore Amy Bucklin placed first in girls’ prose reading, while Kelly Robinson placed sec- ond in girls’ extemporaneous speaking at the Dominion District Forensics Tourna- ment. The juniors became a class to look up to, as they dominated important school activities such as sports. Juniors Chris Bratcher and Phil Deberry led the Varsity Basketball Team through the regional finals. More- over, Seniors developed a class unity that developed throughout the year. During pep rallies, Seniors could be seen display- ing signs saying ‘'Class of ‘84 and “'Kiss My Class.” As 1984 came and went, a closeness’ was kept strong between the student body as well as between the faculty. Led by jubilant Cindy Janis, the juniors charge onto the field after a triumphant victory over the seniors. Showing a different style, senior Daniel Harring- ton displays a growing trend. ninking hard about his next class, Rodney Light- ot takes time out for a picture. People 45 Seniors Breaking Misconceptions “To be the class of 1984 means much more than it seems. We are proof that soci- ety has not failed, and it is up to us to preserve that.’’ Such was the sentiment of Ginger Gay and practically the whole sen- ior class. Whether or not everyone was fa- miliar with George Orwell's 1984, the whole class certainly became familiar with it's concepts before they graduated. It seemed that everywhere talk of 1984 dominated discussions. The pressures that went along with waiting for college replies, job openings, and graduation were deepened with the over- shadowing preoccupation with Orwell's novel. However, the predictions for our year, 1984, could not be ignored. As graduation neared, fear and uncertainty Michael J. Acampora James A. Akers Melton Eugene Alexander about the future grew. All of the melancholy surroundings did not deter the Class of ‘84. Each senior seemed to strive just a little harder to cure false conceptions about their class. When the school seemed to think the seniors had no spirit, seniors proved them wrong by win- ning the spirit banner. And when the ad- ministration seemed to think the seniors lacked initiative and organization, the sen- iors put together a Senior Forum and planned their own pep rally. The qualities that George Orwell predict- ed the year to possess were certainly not true of the senior class. The Class of '84 pushed to create a positive and memora- ble year, and they succeeded.

They began to work on the float much earlier, making sure to use more water proot materials than on last year s float. With a lot of determination and dedication, the seniors put together a float featuring the theme “Stuff the Skyhawks’. A large bird sat on the flat- bed along with a huge box of stuffing and a few seniors ready to “’cook L.C. Bird’s hide.” Although the seniors put much energy into the float, they came up short when the prizes were given out. Settling for second place did not seem satisfying; however, everyone that worked hard on the float knew in their hearts that it was a winner. The good feelings that emerged later made all of the effort worthwhile.

But, the worries of next year, and what it would be like began to plague minds. 5 2) Seniors Fo-Fu 5 Spirit Soars Seniors Show Who's Boss The beginning of the football season marked the beginning of pep rallies. During the first two pep rallies, the school wondered if the Seniors were even alive. After realizing the image they were producing, the Seniors de- cided to change their attitude. The key was to be heard and seen. The next pep rally was more successful for the Seniors. They won the spirit banner. Finally, Senior spirit came to its summit with the Senior-planned pep rally.

Tending Talents “It looked like it would be tun.” That is how Mark Gettle became involved with ice hockey. This interest was sparked fourteen years ago, and Mark has been playing for tive years. He has been Goal tending in “pick-up’’ games in Mary- land and in Richmond when ice is avail- able. ‘Goal tending and hockey are two dif- ierent games. Goal tending is a last line of defense. And with shots coming at you at one hundred miles per hour, you have to play mental games with yourself to prepare ior that.’ commented Mark. Mark said that he decided to become a goal tender mainly because not many people want to do it or enjoy it. Mark has been playing for an organized team, the Aberdeen Royals, for three years. They keep their own records, and so far they are 54-6-2. Mark's inter- est in hockey prompted offers from Bos- ton University and Clarkson University to apply for scholarships. Mark decided against this because he felt that ” when one goes to college on a sport's scholarship, the college tends to over- look education.”’ Mark plans to attend Loyola or Washington College, both in Maryland, where he would like to major in business management or advertising. Making sure everything is right, Mark puts on his hockey equipment with care. dacquelin Elizabeth Hawkins Spanish Club 9; SCA rep. 9; Junior Class rep.; DECA 11; Senior Class rep.; Powderpuff 11.

Taking on the organization of graduation, the Senior Banquet, and the Senior Assem- bly demanded work and patience from all. Ordering announcements and caps and gowns, along with a brief T-shirt sale took up a lot of time. Early on in the year the seniors worked for a Senior Forum to discuss any ques- tions that seniors had. The forum, along with the senior pep rally proved that the otficers and representatives could take on responsibility and succeed in their goals.

The first four rows of the Parking lot were marked off for seniors, who were grateful not to have to walk as far in the rain. The parking lot also enabled sen- iors to make a fast get away after school. Another new priviledge was leaving sixth period three minutes early. Many seniors who had jobs appreciated this as well as those who just liked to leave ear- ly. Other senior priviledges such as the courtyard and the senior lunch area re- mained. The addition of the 1983 class gift made it easier to dine and relax in the courtyard. Catherine Elizabeth Leverton Gorman M.

Seniors usually feel by their twelfth year that they need a little variety in their schedules, and a break from a strict economic program. Home and family living provides just that; and it gives seniors the opportunity to manage and understand many aspects of life on their own or with a family of their own. Activities in the class include cooking and of their wedding cake. each year by seniors. Along with speech; Open Wide! David Duffy gives Robin Collier a bite Experiencing Lite: Seniors make “real life’ exciting sewing, child care and household finance management. The seniors made ice cream, warm-up suits and even had a mock wedding. The wedding was the larg- est project the classes took on, and it was held in the spring. It was authentic wed- ding with dresses, flowers, invitations, and a reception afterwards. Both classes had their own wedding, and both went well.

Many be- gan working in their junior year, and by their senior year had managed to suc- cessfully arrange their schedules s to devote enough time to school, sports, extracurricular activities, and jobs. It gets really tough when I have to stay after school, get my homework done, and then go to work,”’ commented Kelly Hathaway, who works at Harmony Hut. O as Seniors seemed to be working for one reason — MONEY. Many seniors worked to save money for college, cars, or just the beach. Whatever the reason, the money always had a purpose.

Many seniors wore them at school all day. It made them feel closer to that big day when they said goodbye to Manchester. Although that day would bring sadness as well as hap- piness, seniors could not wait. Cap and gown distribution was the be- ginning of senior activities that would fill schedules until June twelfth. Class pictures, taken in caps and gowns, was the next activity, and then prom. The first of June was the Senior Assembly and Banquet. The only other official Ac- tivity before graduation was Baccalau- reate. However, many other ‘‘unoffi- cial’ activities took place. “Harvard here I come!” Allan Donely, Andrew Guarino, and Jerry Ray try on caps and gowns.

After a long spring break, seniors just could not seem to manage to make it to school every day. Other symptoms of the disease includ- ed early dismissals to go to the park or river and excessive beach wear. Some activities did occur in school, such as lunch-picnics and beach days. The senior skip day was also another indication of the disease taking control. Whatever seniors did to make the pain of school a little better, each had some form, rare or common, of senioritis.

The Varsity Basketball Team's success had a lot to do with their two Junior guards, Chris Bratcher and Phil DeBerry. The two are con- sidered by many to be the best team of guards in the Dominion District. ‘We work well together because we think alike. We seem to anticipate what each other is going to do,” said Chris. Chris Bratcher, one of the leading scorers in the district, not only contributed points to the team, but is an excellent ball handler and team leader while on the floor. Co-cap- tain, Phil DeBerry, a high scorer, was also a team leader and a remarkable rebounder. Phil and Chris are indeed outstanding by themselves, but put together are unbeatable Another two, as Chris Bratcher puts the ball up over his defender. 86 Juniors and certainly unforgettable. One of the many reasons for their success was quoted by Coach Charlie Smith, They have more experience together than other guards in the district, because they played together last year as Sophomores.”’ The Varsity Basketball Team had a fantastic and well-deserving season. Phil and Chris are just two of the many contributors to that season. Other Juniors contributors include: Danny Seitter, Byron Nelson, Chris Pizzini, Trevor Gunn, and Donald Morrissette.

While all of the debators were valuable assets to the team, the sophomores were especially impor- tant, as they will serve as the foundation to build the team on tor the next two years.

She ran in middle school and then competed in the Junior Olympics, placing twelfth in her age group in nationals. Wendy stated, “'! like cross country because every course is different.

During the time she has taught she has participated in many school-related activities. Mrs. Bass has acted in two pep rallies as the ‘Lancer’. While portraying the ‘‘Lancer,” she has risen and destroyed the ‘‘Cavalier” of Clover Hill. Mrs. Bass has also judged each class on its spirit for the Spirit Award. The most well- known activity she has participated in is the annual Senior versus Faculty Basketball Game. Mrs. Bass has served as the coach for the faculty team for two years in a row. Be- cause of the not surprising losses to the Sen- iors, Mrs. Bass has received much grief from the faculty players. According to the faculty, the grief is all in fun. While noted for her extra-curricular activities, she has also been ‘ecognized for her teaching abilities. Mrs. Bass was voted ‘Teacher of the Year’’ by her peers. By participating in these various activi- ties, Mrs. Bass has shown that she is a great asset to our school. Judging the classes on their spirit, Mrs. Bass de- cides the winner at the Winter Pep Rally.

That word is di- versity. The teaching style of Mr. Wildasin is described as casual and relaxing. The educational process is a major factor in his lite. ‘Education gives me a sense of reward and gratification,’ said Mr. Wildasin. He also has criticisms of education.” There is a curriculum shortcoming. There is also a lack of emphasis on the humanities. With every student I try to teach humanities so they will remember who they are.’’ Com- menting on public education in Chester- field County, Mr. Wildasin said, ‘‘Educa- tion in Chestertield is superior. In general, the public attacks public education, but. it is not relevant to our area.’’ However di- verse Mr. Wildasin seems, the student con- sensus remains the same. As junior John Donnelly noted, ‘He's a great teacher. He has a unique way of teaching that inspires da person. After eating an “Altoid,” Mr. Wildasin begins a lesson on federalism. 110 Faculty Fo — Jo Sandy Johnson: VCU, B.S.; Phys. Ed J.V.

Experience Through Dedication Teaching has given me the opportunity to be in contact with numerous young peo- ple,’ explained biology teacher Mrs. Gwen Coalter. “It has also been gratifying to see many of them later as adults, suc- cessful in their chosen careers.’ Mrs. Coalter came to Manchester in De- cember of 1956. Since then, she has taught hundreds of students; and in recent years, she taught the second generation of her earlier students. Besides teaching, she has been a friend to many college-bound students whom she helped as the sponsor of the G.H. Reid Chapter of the National Honor Society since 1966. ‘T've seen a lot of changes,’’ she comment- ed in an interview. Perhaps she has wit- nessed more changes here at MHS than anyone else.

Students could contribute to MHS by becoming involved in after school athletics. Students became ‘well rounded” and learned the rigors of phys- ical activity. As junior Jeff Bond com- mented, ‘The coaches are really tough, but after a while, you start to appreciate how they push you. It makes you do bet- ter.’ Many changes took place in the athletic department. MHS received a new foot- ball coach for the 1984-85 season, Mr. Billy Jarvis, after Mr. Mike Angelo re- signed this post. The athletic department was also given a new auxillary gym where many P.E. classes and practices took place. Among the teams that stood out were the basketball teams. The girls Varisty team finished the year with a strong 17-3 re- cord. The highlight of the sports season was the Varsity Boys Basketball Team. With the help of juniors Chris Bratcher and Phil Deberry, the Varsity team fin- ished the year with an 18-3 record and also captured the Dominion District championship. The basketball team then advanced to regionals, but were defeat- ed in the Ghampionelen game against Brunswick. While the Lancers were victorious, so were the many faculty, student, and par- ent supporters who came out at every game to support the Lancers. They cheered the players on and on, thus giv- ing more insentive for the Lancers to win. These crowds helped the teams to con- vince everyone that sports is a vital part of school life as well as a vital part of a stu- dents life.

The year climaxed with an upset victory over first placed Mills Godwin, 15-12. The score was tied 1 2- 12 with three seconds left when Allen Todd booted a thirty seven yard field goal to seal the win. This season marked the best record under head coach Mike Angelo in three years. The Lancer offensive attack was led by quarterback Glen Collins. All District linemen Keith Ochoa and Scott Hover- male led the fierce Lancer defense. On offense, defense, and special teams, the Lancers were led by Most Valuable Player powerhouse Russell McKinnon. Russell is the kind of player you like to have on your team.

With nineteen seconds left in the game, Clover Hill scored the first touchdown of the game despite the rain that had begun to fall. ‘We lost a lot of sophomores to Varsity, but we had a lot of players work hard to fill their spots,’’ commented Coach Spears. Paul Collins, Daryl Thompson, and Jeff Baldwin moved to Varsity and Jetf Wilkinson also did leaving the quar- terback spot vacant. With these losses, the Lancer offense was led by Shawn Burbage, quarterback Wayne Noel and Rodney Lightfoot. The J.V. defense was readed by outstanding performances py Tony Dowdy and Curtis Cornell.

They had a tough Pela: tion to live up to, but they did it. In fact, they improved their regular season re- cord with one more win, finishing 17-3. The girls’ season ended a little sooner than they had hoped, however, when they lost to Thomas Dale in the first game of district tournament. Two sen- iors, Ginger Gay and Annette Easterl- ing, were most affected by the loss be- cause it ended their high school basket- ball career. Co-captain Ginger Gay explained, “It really didn't hit‘me until hat final buzzer sounded and there wasn t any ‘we'll get them next year’ because | won't be here next year.”’ An- nette has played on the Varsity team since her freshman year. Allison Laing and Monique Hairston contributed their height and rebound- ing abilities to make Manchester one of the strongest teams in the district.

The girls earned the opportunity to play in a play- off against Thomas Dale preceding the final game of the Varsity tournament. Halfway through the season the team lost one of their starting guards, Nancy Ames, to the Varsity team; but they re- mained strong despite the loss. Forward Theresa Brisby led the team in re- bounding, steals, and was named the most valuable player at the awards ban- quet. Ethyl Cox, also a forward forward, demonstrated excellent rebounding and shooting abilities, as did freshman Robin Gaines, the year’s high scorer for the JV team. Sonja Owens and Claire Speno contributed their speed and de- fensive skills. Although inexperienced, the other team members, Joellyn Long, Chelly Cyrus, Theresa Glidewell, Danielle Brown, and Amy Harris proved to be valuable.

Golf ] 1 SI Breaking New Records District Co-Champions ad- vance to regionals When the boys’ Varsity basketball sea- son began, Coach Charlie Smith and the team knew that it was going to take a lot of teamwork if they wanted to win the Dominion District title. At the end of the season, Coach Smith commented, ‘Our success is a perfect example of the saying ‘There isnoI in TEAM”. The team showed an excellent example of teamwork, which is the key to success in any team sport.’ The outstanding team finished 18-3 and was Co-champion of the district. The Lancers were led by guards Chris Bratcher, who averaged more than 15 points a game, and Co- captain Phil Deberry. The starting line- up was rounded out with the powerful back line of Jerry Ray, David Harold, and Drew Hepler. The Lancers were aided by key players coming off the bench; such key players as Ricky Butts, Danny Seitter, and Don- ald Morrissette, who had 14 points against Powhatan. The Lancers built upon their spectacular season by being the first team ever to win both the regu- lar season and the tournament. The team then advanced to the regionals and won two key games putting them into the championship against Bruns- wick. Brunswick's defense proved to be too strong though for the Lancers as they fell 52-60. The record-breaking season was marked by many fine performances. Guards Chris Bratcher and Phil De- berry were both chosen to the All-Dis- trict team, while Bratcher went on to win All-Region and All-Metro honors. “'It would have been great to win the state, but we were glad to make it to region- als,’ commented Bryon Nelson.

The team finished the season with a record of 12 wins and 8 losses. The JV basketball team highlighted their season in the final game when they played at home in front of a sell-out crowd against Meadowbrook. It took a 20-foot jump shot by Co-captain Keith Lowery at the buzzer in overtime to pull out a 68-66 victory. ‘We worked hard and accomplished a lot, but I am looking forward to having a better season next year,’ commented Wayen Noel on his first season.

This is the first win- ning season in a while for the team.” Senior Scott Hovermale, returning for his fourth year on the team, was the dis- trict champion at 167 pounds.

At the bottom of the Sth inning, the team was losing O-8. Determined to score, the JV’ers came back to score 9 runs and win the game. The Co-Captains were Freshman John Atkins and Sophomore Sean Burbage. Among the team were excelling players who included Jamie Wallace and Wes Self who ended their seasons with high batting averages.

Coach Al Weaver led the Girl's Team while Coach Jim Triempler led the boy’s. Ending their season with a 6-4 record, the Girl's team placed 4th in the district. Three team members broke school records. Donna Chavis broke 16.2 seconds in the 100 meter hurdle, while Amy Hamilton attained 13.4 seconds in the 100 meter dash. Also, Fresh- man Wendy Neely set the 3200 meter run record of 11:54.6 seconds. Wendy also ad- vanced to become District Champion and Re- gional Champion. The initial goals that nearly every coach de- sires are good development of the athletes and a winning season. The season was a posi- tive experience for most of the individuals involved,’ Coach Triempler commented on the 6-4-1 winning season for the Boy’s Track Team.

Throughout football and girl's bas- ketball, fans began to help the cheer- leaders root the teams on. By boy's bas- ketball the fans had taken control. ‘This made cheering more worthwhile and productive,’ commented varsity co- captain Donna Taylor. The cheer- leaders, however, performed numerous other duties. Both squads painted signs, made goodies for the teams, and planned pep-rallies. The Varsity squad also performed half-time routines, took turns attending and supporting the oth- er winter and spring sports, and helped in the channel 23 telethon. ‘Cheering through all seasons keeps us girls busy and in top shape. Yet, it’s all worth it in the end,” added Tracie Fi- scher. The entire year was exciting ... but winning the Dominion District title in boy's basketball ended the cheering season on its highest note,’ declared varsity co- captain Mandy Hamner. “Number one second to none,” is the cry for the JV cheerleaders in the victorious game over Clover Hill. During the cold football season, co-captain Shannon Smith gets the crowd into the ‘Battle Cry” cheer. Cheerleaders 149 CLUBS New Clubs Bring Out Involvement For the clubs, student participation is the key. Without membership, there c ould be no club and without leadership, most groups would become inactive. As junior, John Donnelly, co-editor of the yearbook, noted, ‘Without interested members on the yearbook staff, we would have trouble making the yearbook. We had a lot of in- terested, hard working people to help us.” Several new clubs were formed to partici- pate in school activities. The new club, SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving) was formed under the direction of Mr. Mi- chael Wildasin. After initial controversy, SADD was generally accepted by the stu- dent body. Another newly formed club was SODA (Student Organization for De- veloping Attitudes), which was an offspr- ing of SCA. From two hundred student applications, twenty students were chosen to visit area elementary schools. Another new club, ISC (Inner School Council) was formed under the supervi- sion of the SCA. The ISC was made up of |} the vice-presidents of each club and class. | As junior Mike Rozum remarked, '! think the ISC is a good idea. It gives the SCA a better view of the problems around school. | It allows more of the student body to get involved in various clubs.” Most importantly, the Lancers were the ones who made the clubs what they are. As junior Sharon Chapman, president of the French Club remarked, ‘Our organiza- tion has become stronger because of par- ' ticipation. We've been able to do more than in previous years.’’ From the new SCA calendar to eye catching signs around school, the clubs encouraged Lancers to become involved.

The Memoir tried a new editorial idea by appointing a junior, Jon Donnelly to the o-editorship. He and his co-editor, Kim Thomas, worked feverishly throughout the year to create a modern, concise, picture- filled yearbook. The Communique, with a large, 23- member statf, also worked toward change, a change toward conservatism. The staff obviously found the format and content Lancers wanted, as subscription sales skyr- ocketed tor the year.

Creation or LSC With the creation of the new Inner School Council, the Student Cooper ative Associ- ation began an active year by breaking new ground. The new committee, which consisted of the vice-presidents from each school club, helped bond the clubs more tightly together for the benefit of schedul- ing and unity of Lancers’ spirit. As the year progressed, President Diane Pulley presided over discussions and helped in the planning of such activities as Homecoming, the Fall Fling, creationg of a new Lanny committee, Career Day for stu- dents, flea market, and computer dating. The Homecoming Dance had a particular large turnout. The band Full House played to their namesake with a ''Memories”’ theme. With the creation of a Lanny committee, the S.C.A. developed the idea of a pep club that both aided and supported Lanny and her purpose. Besides individual team spirit, the S.C.A. gave a boost to unified school spirit. S.C.A. provided the juke box. Amy Bucklen chooses a selection to be played during lunch. BF UAV o3 S.C.A.

Webb New Unitorms Show Style Beginning the year under new director, Mrs. Phyliss Glaspie, the Marching Lanc- ers started practicing endless hours to make up new songs and routines. During the fall, they performed at all home and away football games. They were also invit- ed to perform in the Ashland Christmas Parade and the Williamsburg Christmas Parade. The Marching Lancers also par- ticipated at the Chesterfield County Fair. Throughout the entire year, the Marching Lancers held fund raisers to raise money for badly needed new uniforms. With the new uniforms costing $12,000 the March- ing Lancers sold candy, cleaning supplies, and cups in order to pay for them. After marching in blue jeans and T-shirts all fall, the new uniforms arrived at the end of April. The Marching Lancers were kept busy in the spring as they performed competively in various festivals and parades. They placed sixth out of 17 bands in the Interna- tional Azalea Festival in Norfolk. During the Westover Hills Azalea Festival in Rich- mond, the Marching Lancers placed sec- ond in band competition. With the close of the year, the Marching Lancers had a new reputation to live up to. With the new uniforms and new direction, the band became more noticed. Marching Lancers 157 Listening Attentively! Mandy Hamner explains the honor that has been bestowed upon Nicole Buzzo.

New Society Added The honor societies grew at the begin- ning of the year as members of the art department formed the National Art Honor Society. As with the older Na- tional Honor Society and Quill Scroll, the new club's members must show and maintain high scholastic scholarship, leadership, service, and creativity. At the fall tapping, seventeen students re- ceived the honor of charter induction. With President Mandy Hamner, the Na- tional Honor Society seemed busy all year. Early on, senior members sold candy and prepared for the tapping. NHS inducted seventeen juniors. The new members helped during the sec- ond semester with the year-round pro- ject of tutoring math students. The club honored senior members and installed new Officers in May. While NHS stayed on the ball, Quill Scroll, under President Lisa Forsythe, all but disappeared from view as they became more an honor than a club. As a Club, their one major project culminat- ed the publications’ year. Quill Scroll hosted the Memoir Communique spring awards banquet.

The club also painted the field house, as well as the line markings in the parking lot. The club benefits the members as well as the school. Each senior is reimbursed for his athletic jacket and the members all learn responsibility needed to run a busi- ness and how to deal with the public.

Carrying A High Note Under the direction of Mrs. Susan Wood, the choirs performed for various audi- ences throughout the year. After endless class periods of singing dancing and chor- eographing, each chorus developed their own style. Another Jazz chorus, City Rhythm, was formed from advanced stu- dents from Capital Swing. After putting on a fall concert here to a packed house, practice for the Christmas concert, which was held at a local church, began. Starting after the Christmas con- cert and lasting through the winter, var- ious competitions were held at which both Jazz choirs and Madrigals competed. Capital Swing made a return visit to E. C. Glass High School in Lynchburg as return- ing champions. They put on an exhibition performance before the competition be- gan. The Jazz choir as well as the Madrigals traveled to James Madison University to compete in the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival. MHS had three choirs participating, the Madrigals, Capital Swing, and City Khythm. For the first year, Capital Swing captured a second place title in the jazz show choir competition. Two weeks later, the Jazz choirs performed at the Virginia Beach Festival held near Norfolk. Capital Swing captured another second place ti- tle. The singers spent an exciting weekend competing and relaxing on the beach. With the end of the year, all choirs put on a Spring Concert for the student body as well as the public. Because of their fine work and achievements, all the choirs have been praised by the faculty and par- ents for their fine work. Clubs Compete The language clubs are very active and competitive. Their first competition was during the Homecoming float parade where the Spanish club won Ist place. The competition was continued when plans were made for a volleyball game between the clubs. In addition to this good-natured competiveness the three clubs also have many activities of their own. For instance, the Latin club’s plans for the year included a New Foods Night and 5owling, as well as planting a tree for Ar- oor Day. Likewise, the French club had a very ac- tive year. They started out with a candy sale to raise funds. They also held a Mardi Gras Party and were involved with the Fine Arts Festival. Needing money also, the Spanish club had a candy sale. They enjoyed a party with native Spaniards who showed slides and who served them authentic Spanish food. The Spanish club offers a $50 scholarship to one person who plans to continue study- ing Spanish in college. The study of foreign languages is definitely enhanced by the three active language clubs.

Many upper- classmen became employees instead of customers. As the Chesterfield area grew, many students were influenced by advertising aimed specifically at them. An employee at McDonalds, junior Lori Owen commented, “It's important for students to work, to know what it’s like to be out in the real world making money.” For some Lancers, working became a ne- cessity. As junior John Donnelly re- marked, “I think you almost have to work in order to survive. Without money, I couldn't do most of the things | want to do.” Sats As the business community recognized the Lancers’ important part in their wel- fare, students became a familiar sight in some stores. At anytime, Lancers could be found frequenting McDonalds, Sal's and various other restaurants. Similarly many underclassmen could be seen pa- tronizing various clothing and depart- ment stores at Cloverleaf Mall. Diane Lawrence, a junior and clothes sa- lesperson at Hipp Pocket noted, “I don't mind working; it gives me an under- standing of the business community. Working allows me to see the diversity in the public. I think that working can help a student to decide on a future career.” cee RESTAURANT bith OFF,4 Best Pizza in Town, Sal's Pizza Restaurant serves man students after football games 168 Advertising arfenme sain sirronen ascii aet A well known name, Ukrops Supermarkets serve the Chesterfield community, and offer job positions. “Better Things For Your Home”.

We need your support. — Group Effort a” ate eee §=Beginning before the start of school, Edi- tors-in-Chief John Donnelly and Kim Thomas prepared for the hard work that was ahead. After moving the office up- stairs, looking for more staff members be- came the first priority after making sure everyone received his book from last year. Help came from a small, but supportive staff including Freshman Sophomore Edi- tor Noelle Reese, Junior Editor Nicole Buzzo, Sports Editor, Lisa Grimm, Clubs Editor, Mary Wampler, Ads Editor, Diane Pulley, and Lancer Life editor, Jennifer Tolpi. Special thanks to Pam Girten and Diane Lawrence for their help during the sales campaign. Much appreciation goes to Herff Jones representative, Mike Smith and sponsor Laura Smith for all their time and help. Special thanks to Mrs. Daniel for keeping financial records and to Mrs. Eggleston tor her help with the Senior sec- tion. Mrs. Robertson and the Photography II class supported the Memoir all year with their photos and time. Volume 46 of the Memoir of Manchester High School, Richmond, VA. was silk screened on front and backbone by Herff Jones of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. It un- derwent a press run of 650 copies, each with 188 pages. It is Smyth sewn with a trim size of 9 X 12. The cover is Antique Blue with applied color of Brill Orange 10.
