SCEPTRE Volume 1 , 1964 Meadowbrook High School 4901 Cogbill Road Chesterfield, Virginia Co-editors: Jesse Ridout Sharon Bryant i In the Beginning • • • The beginning of Meadowbrook High School was a mere dream. The dream of those whose main interest was to sustain the high standard of their Chesterfield school system and to edify it. A transformation took place as the architects placed the dreams on paper in the form of blueprints and drawings; then men and machines converted the plans into a splendid structure. From a haven of densely-branched shrubs, a building emerged. The completion was neared during the summer of 1964; yet, it was insignificant just as a building—the dream was incom¬ plete . . . Halls and classrooms were waiting to be filled; an audito¬ rium awaited its first assembly; a faculty lounge was still un¬ occupied, and an office was yet to become the nerve center of an educational community. Then the school opened! Enthusiam ran high as the first students arrived. The halls filled; the library became a research center; and the office became a bustling well-organized headquarters for all school activities. A student body, a faculty, an office staff were present, yet, the dream was still unrealized. Confusion was great for the first few days but as the familiar routine of classroom instruction began, a bond of mutual re¬ spect and confidence grew between the teachers and students. A spark of school spirit over a football game ignited into the success of the team—and a transformation. The spark was fanned into a vigorous flame; the faculty and the student body were a united team. The building had grown into a school; the dream had become a reality. On the leaves of this book the staff has endeavored to record those events and people who were predominant in those activ¬ ities during this school year. It is hoped that this book will re¬ flect the evolution of Meadowbrook High School from a vision to an actuality, and will preserve some of the traits of the Meadowbrook students so that their achievements during this first year may once again be lived in the memories of tomorrow.

A Note From the Staff The 1964 Annual Staff dedicates this, the first volume, to the ones most responsible for the suc¬ cess of this school year, the ones who have given up allegiance to former schools. Your energy and enthusiasm for the well-being of Meadowbrook High School and its faculty have encouraged us to strive for the highest possible standards of achieve¬ ments. With sincere thanks we dedicate this, our first annual, the Sceptre, to the student body of Meadowbrook High School. The True Meaning of Sceptre A scepter is a symbol of royal authority—it is carried by kings and emperors; it denotes the royalty of monarchs,- it is evidence of the highest rank; it is proof of the supreme rule. The Meadow¬ brook Monarchs have chosen the scepter as the name for their yearbook because it is significant of the best and the Monarchs know that Meadow¬ brook High School is and will remain the very best of all.

Preparations are made by the S.C.A, for the Miss Mead- owbrook Contest. Ralph Spencer calls the meet¬ ing to order. Every student and teacher at Meadowbrook is a member of the Student Cooperative Associ¬ ation; therefore, the S.C.A. has the distinction of being the largest club in the school. Each home¬ room sends one representative to the Council Meetings held each Wednesday in the auditorium. Special projects for the year included the adop¬ tion of a constitution and by-laws, setting up of special committees, and working on projects for the welfare of Meadowbrook and her students. The purposes of the S.C.A. are many and varied; they include: to establish a better understanding between students and faculty members, to aid in the internal administration of the school, to pro¬ mote the general activities within the school, to establish and develop a spirit of cooperation and fellowship among the students, to develop within the students a growing appreciation of member¬ ship in a democracy by providing the privilege and the educational responsibilities of participation in such a democracy in the school.

We finished our first Sceptre. Sceptre Staff Slaves to Get Out First Edition Meeting each day at third period, the nineteen members of the Sceptre staff worked on the first edition of Meadowbrook ' s annual. The fact that none of the members had ever worked on an an¬ nual staff before proved to be a constant chal¬ lenge. Sharon Bryant and Jesse Ridout were cho- en as co-editors and other members were given specific assignments. Drawing layouts, writing copy, taking pictures, cropping pictures, proofreading, and meeting deadlines were many of the tasks that awaited the new staff members. Editors and members made good use of Room 201 which was affection¬ ately termed our yearbook room. The staff has endeavored to present in pictures and words the life of Meadowbrook from its be¬ ginning. Co-editors, Sharon Bryant and Jesse Ridout, and Sponsor, Mrs. Hash, look bewildered over layouts. 50 Will I ever find it? ' ' moans feature editor, Brenda Guill. Staff members: Sylvia Sudduth, Lynda Gill, and Kaye Crews count receipts. Laurie Bew, faculty editor, writes a re¬ minder for teachers to tourn in faculty statistics. Ranny Eichmann adjusts camera. Pictures are chosen by Vince Melton and Ellen Shaw. Sharon Staley, Linda Wine, and Martha Mooney decide on pictures to be used. Filing cabinets serve many purposes, which are shown by Ray Gallagher and Betty Jo Colonies. 51 Medallion Staff Undertakes the Task of Keeping an accurate file is one of the tasks assigned Ann Creery and Pat Wells. Newspaper staff members make up the jour¬ nalism class which is concerned with learning the fundamentals of newspaper publishing. By a ma¬ jority vote of the student body, the newspaper acquired the name, Medallion. It concentrates on the publication of any school news that is of in¬ terest to the student body: including, sports, spe¬ cial features, and editorials. Written contributions are accepted not only from the staff members, but from the student body as a whole. The Medallion is published monthly and issues are distributed in the cafeteria by representatives of the business and circulation staff.

The English teachers co-operated by as¬ signing essays, short stories, and poems to their classes and then selecting the ones they thought best. From these, the staff chose the ones which were to be published in the magazine. The dead¬ line for all articles to be in was April fifteenth. The magazine went on sale in May. Besides the short stories, poems and other articles, there were art contributions from the students and a special art design for the cover. Single Edition Edited by Magazine Staff L. to R.

F.T.A. Heads Projects to Help School Be kind to teachers was the motto of F.T.A. members during Teacher Appreciation Week. The week was highlighted by a tea for the faculty members after school. Apples per¬ sonalized for the teachers were delivered to them on the final day of Teacher Appreciation Week. F.T.A. Representatives from Meadowbrook to College Day, held at George Wythe High School, handed out programs for the evening ' s activities. Publishing a Student Directory was the chief money-raising project for the Future Teachers this year. Also, a Sock Hop was sponsored in the gym after a basketball game; combos of teachers and students were the main attrac¬ tions. Helping the teachers was also an aim of the F.T.A. this year. Coffee and doughnuts were served to teachers during a break on Clerical Day. Student teaching helped the members gain confidence and poise. Visits to observe elementary teachers at work were on the agenda of year ' s activities for the club. A membership drive was held by the club in April. People who met the requirements for membership were admitted to the club. For recreation the club held a picnic in April when the new officers for next year were installed. Even though the club was quite active in school life, the members still placed much emphasis on the important role of teachers in our nation by preparing themselves to be teachers. L to R.

Home Economics Students Join F.H.A. The Meadowbrook Chapter of the F.H.A. was well organized by October. The officers were elected at the beginning of Oc¬ tober and soon afterwards twenty-eight of the fifty-four mem¬ bers attended the Fall Federation meeting at Grange Hall High School. The Federation is made up of all F.H.A. Chapters in this area. Miss Biddle gave a most interesting talk on the importance of respect during the saluting of the flag, and at religious and political ceremonies. This program helped in the planned project for the year— Action For Citizenship. Most of the members brought food or toys for needy fam¬ ilies during December. Also, Christmas cards were sold in order to increase the treasury. A Keep Meadowbrook Beautiful ' campaign was started in January to last throughout the year. The reasons for planning such a campaign were twofold: To help students keep foremost in their minds that Meadowbrook is a new school and should be cared for; and to carry out the established project for the The Messy Monarch List is compiled. year by emphasizing good citizenship at school and everywhere. Civil Defense was another important part of our project.
