Whose compassion and interest in young people helped build many a bridge between aspiration and accomplishment. Whose obvious enjoyment of his occupation and whose efficiency and excellence as first principal of Meadowbrook gained the respect of his students and colleagues. For all these admirable qualities, it is with af¬ fection and graditude that we dedicate the 1967 Sceptre to Mr. Mack D.

School Organ Is Goal Of SCA And ICC As their principal project for the year the SCA decided to purchase an organ for the school; and the club devoted all of its projects to raising mon¬ ey for it. In addition, all clubs were asked to do¬ nate to an organ fund which had been established. For their Christmas activities, the SCA asked each homeroom to fill baskets with food and toys, which were then distributed in the county by the Chesterfield Welfare Department. The club also sponsored their annual Christmas dance, this year featuring the music of King Edward and the B.D.’s. In March the SCA held the Miss Meadowbrook Contest and Talent Show. In the competition a girl was chosen to represent the school, and judges also chose the best examples of Meadowbrook’s talent. Later in March, the magazine campaign was held, which increased the organ fund. Working with the SCA, the Interclub Council asked each club to participate in cleaning the school parking lot.

Hi-Y Sells Monarch License Plates A very active club this year, the Hi-Y began their year early when they accompanied the Tri-Hi-Y and others from the Southside area to the beautiful mountain camp at Blue Ridge, North Carolina. After learning about the basic rules of how to organize and maintain an active and prosperous club, the boys decided to come home and put these good ideas into practice. After electing their officers, the members began projects which were beneficial to the school and community as well as financially beneficial to their club. As a club they attended different churches in the area, and they attended the special candlelight induction ceremony held at Bethany Place Baptist Church. Parking cars at football games and at college night, and buying a tree for the student courtyard were other club projects this year. 35 Pat Rand and Robert Watts carry out the club project of paint¬ ing lines on the parking lot.

The VOT class started out with eleven enthu¬ siastic members, who were interested in learning of¬ fice and machine practices through class proced¬ ures and on-the-job training. The major purpose of VOT was to learn the fundamentals of the business world in order to achieve success. Through on-the-job training, the VOT students learned many different office proce¬ dures and tactfulness in business relationships. They gained experience, which is often the “key word” in achieving their goal as good business workers. r-Employee Banquet Row 1: Mrs. Charlynne Kovach, Janice Colgin.

Keeping up on the latest edu¬ cational devices available to students, the club made a trip to the E.T.V. station. They followed this trip up with a visit to the Library of Congress. Since funds were needed, the Library Club held a bake sale. The members organized a club picnic. They were eager to receive long-awaited pins. Donna Wilmoth helps Candy Mentz locate a magazine.

While continuing to add to their personal art col¬ lection, the members of the Art Club participated in many aspects of the school’s activities. Many of the art students visited the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Several also contributed paintings to dec¬ orate the school. Working throughout the year, the art students were responsible for the scenery in many of the presentations held during the year. Their work ornamented the stage and increased the effect of these shows. For the Flomecoming Parade, Pat Tyson designed and built a replica of Arty, the club’s symbol. The club also visited Washington to view the exhibits in the National Art Gallery. In the spring the Art Club, under the direction of Mrs. Waters, sponsored an Art, Science, and Technology Fair, for which they designed a cop¬ per mural representing all the clubs and activities in the school. The other schools in the area were invited to participate in the fair in which art works by the students were exhibited and sold. 54 “No, it doesn’t look exactly like a vase,” sighs Betty Rowsey.

Mixed Chorus Adds Ensemble Classes Doing their part to support the school and com¬ munity through music, the Mixed Chorus provided their renditions of popular tunes, marching music, show tunes, and religious songs. They participated in the Thanksgiving Assembly and the Christmas and Spring Concerts. Something new for the year in our music de¬ partment was the formation of music ensembles, consisting of two or more members from each of the performing groups. These special ensembles not only performed at Meadowbrook, but also performed at several other schools in the area. Meadowbrook can boast of the only music ensemble classes in the county, though other schools plan to follow our example next year. Money making projects this year included sell¬ ing fruit cakes and candy in association with Mea- dowbrook’s Music Boosters. The money went toward new robes and uniforms.

Working out more complicated routines, the members exhibited their skill at pep rallies and football games. Later in the year the girls marched in the Hull Street Christmas Parade and aided in the dedication of the Mack D. Moore Memorial Stadium. In May the group helped the art club during the Art Fair. Under the leadership of their new sponsor. Mr. G. H. Brown, the Monarettes were given a group study hall, which they used to plan improved routines.

Displaying their skills, the majorettes performed at all the football games and at several games twirled fire in their new sequined uniforms. To raise money for the new uniforms, the girls sold sweatshirts, jerseys, parkas, and decorated soap bars. Money for the football team and the Mack D. Moore Scholarship fund was raised by selling glasses bearing the Monarch’s crest.

Monarch Band Boosts Spirits And Performs Mr. Winn conducts, “How to catch a cold without even trying.” As one of the most vital organizations in our school, the Monarchs’ band contributed through music to accompany many school and community activities. Three of the major school performances for the band this year were the Christmas and Spring Concerts and Commencement. The band members demonstrated again their musical talents in the snappy marches and seasonal melodies during the Hull Street Christmas Parade. They also appeared in April in the Safety Patrol Parade in Washington, as well as in every football game. Band ensembles performed at concerts and for special events. Graded in competition, the Monarch band received a district festival rating of “Excellent” in the late spring of 1966. This year the band members accept¬ ed in the all-regional band were: Warren Chapman, Randy Parrish, and Lois Benton.

Football Team Boasts Improved Scores Ending the season with a 5-5 record, the Meadow- brook Monarchs were able to boast of a definite gain in strength. Meadowbrook’s victories over rivals, Manchester Thomas Dale, and Huguenot, sparked much enthusiasm throughout the school. Fans enjoyed a hard-fought battle against Cen¬ tral District Champions, Petersburg, in which the Monarchs sustained a loss of only two points. Vital to the Monarchs strategy was the passing-receiving combination executed by quarterback Morris Vaughan and end Richard Corrada. Harry Saferight, fullback, rolled up 575 yards on offense. Saferight, Vaughan, and Corrada were placed on the all Cen¬ tral District Team, while Richard Corrada was elected to the second team All-State. 70 SCORES MONARCHS OPPONENTS 18 Homer Ferguson 28 33 Patick Henry 12 17 Petersburg 21 20 Prince George 25 25 Thomas Dale 13 13 Hopewell 42 31 Huguenot 19 13 Lee Davis 34 14 Manchester 7 48 Colonial Heights 26 Coach Rowe examines John Gorman for injuries.

Basketball Team Confronts Although having undergone a losing season, the Varsity basketball team gained experience. Led by Johnny Robinson, who was high scorer for the year, and Ted Salmon, the number one rebounder, the team exhibited unfailing spirit. In the Monarch’s first victory over Patrick Henry, Wayne Haycox led the team amassing a final score of over twenty points. Wayne will return next year, along with Chuck Koch, David Coaker, and Jerry Smith. Midway through the season, the coach, Mr. Mar¬ shall Hughes, brought Junior Varsity players, Bob¬ by Wadkins and Dewaine Hammond, up to the Var¬ sity team.

Signs urging school spirit, decorated goal posts, and a well-fed lion mascot were outward signs of the presence of the Meadowbrook Varsity Cheering Squad. After practicing all summer, painting megaphones, and attending a cheering clinic, the cheerleaders began the year with pep rallies for the football games. To promote school spirit, the girls also spon¬ sored a bon fire pep rally and presented the senior football players with engraved key chains. All homecoming festivites were organized by the Varsity Cheerleaders. It was their job to coordi¬ nate the pre-game parade, the half-time festivities, and the Homecoming dance. Varsity cheerleaders also sponsored locker room parties for the teams and distributed treats to the members of each team on the day of their partic¬ ular game. The girls also performed such tasks as selling ads to finance costs of the football programs and the baseball, basketball, and football schedules. Their primary objective, to create more school spirit, was most noticeable at the football and bas¬ ketball games where the girls actively led in en¬ thusiastic support of their team.

New Uniforms and new cheers helped add pep to the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders this year. Since there was no JV football team, the girls’ main job was cheering the JV basketball team on to victory. The squad members sold programs at all home football games, participated in pep rallies, cheered during half-time at varsity games, and helped the Varsity Cheerleaders in various ways to arouse school spirit.

The captain of the team this year was Senior Mike Roberts, who finished with a winning season. At the Richmond Area Wrestling Tournament, which was held at Meadowbrook, A1 Cook finished in second place in his weight class; Mik e Roberts, David Bowles, and Troy McGuire wrestled their way to third place in their classes; and Ricky Garnett and Johnny Fallen finished fourth.

Having won this champion¬ ship, the team became one of twelve vying for the State Championship. Lanny Wadkins, Bud Bailey, David Sobrito, and Bobby Wadkins represented Meadowbrook at the Virginia State Championship, which was held on May 18-19 at the Prince George Country Club. For the first day of the tournament, Meadowbrook’s team compiled a score of 291, the lowest in the history of the tournament.

With the help of Eddie Atkins, Eddie Lacy, Richard Corrada, Wayne Wat¬ kins, and Billy Agee, all of whom are graduating Seniors, the Monarchs were able to compile an 11- 3-2 record for the season. The team was a top con¬ tender for the championship in the Central District League throughout the season, losing the three games in one error-filled week. Richard Corrada served as team captain, while Eddie Lacy had the highest batting average among the members of the team.

Coaching a large number of girls, Miss Claudia Dodson had only five veteran players on which to build a team. The strongest point of the team was the batting line-up. Co-captain Brenda Gray, the only senior, was the strongest batter for the year. Janet Ford and Barbara Thurston hit the most home runs with three each. Another asset to the team was Paulette Lowman on the mound pitching to co-captain and catcher Barbara Thurston. Bonnie Hope, also a pitcher, started her first year well by winning the two games she pitched. The outfield was filled by Brenda Gray and sophomores, Sharon Oliver and Gail Holde r. Janet Ford, a strong short stop, provided a frame for a good infield with Shirley Hall at third, Vangie Berry at second, and Bev Autry at first.

Montgomery, Principal. Efficient Direction Of Meadowbrook Attests To The Ability And Concern Of Mr. Montgomery And Mr. Stith Mr. John Stith, Assistant Principal. After becoming principal, Mr. John Montgomery assumed the many duties of his office. Directing the teachers, supervising ma intenance workers, and coordinating student clubs and activities were only a part of his administrative duties. The scheduling of school activities and the arrangement of class and teacher assignments required much of Mr. Montgomery’s attention. In addition, he was in charge of school finances, guidance and discipline, and community and parent relations with the school. The new assistant principal, Mr. John Stith, aided Mr. Montgomery in his duties of scheduling activi¬ ties, planning assignments, and disciplining students. Mr. Stith also had the responsibility of compiling reports, reviewing attendance matters, and keeping records of textbooks. Although Mr. Montgomery and Mr. Stith assumed their respective positions for the first time this year, both proved their ability and dedication to their work.

Guidance Valuable To All Students Mr. Sindlinger checks student records. i Meadowbrook’s students were helped by their guidance counselors throughout the year. Mr. Sind¬ linger, the senior counselor, was busy helping the seniors choose the college or vocation best suited for their needs. Mr. Hanson, the junior counselor, and Mr. Hughes, the sophomore counselor, both were kept busy helping their students make up next year’s course of study. In the office, Mrs. Reese and Mrs. Taylor helped to keep the school running smoothly. They ran the duplicating machine, occasionally made announce¬ ments, issued admittance slips to students, and per¬ formed the secretarial jobs necessary to keep the school efficient and organized.

Social Studies Broaden Students’ Concepts Because Mr. Driver took a leave of absence to study at Yale, his position as chairman of the So¬ cial Studies Department was assumed by Mr. Mont¬ gomery and then by Mr. Porter. The senior government classes planned a trip to Washington, D. C. during the spring, in which a visit to Congress was scheduled. An exhibit was displayed by the department at the 1966 Chesterfield County Fair in September. This exhibit received a second place award. Now, the Civil War was like this, explains Miss Howard. Mr. Lomakowski, a senior government teacher, supervises study hall. 102 Miss Elizabeth Dillard, B.A., College of Wil¬ liam and Mary Mrs. Elizabeth Geiger, B.A., Westhampton Miss Emily Tucker, B.A., Westhamptoi. English Enlarges Program Mrs. Mildred Valz, B.A., Marshall Uni¬ versity Headed by Mr. Kane, the English department ini¬ tiated several activities to aid the students. The teachers undertook a study of new books to select textbooks for the future, and they also devised a standardized form for term papers and book re¬ views. To help the Junior and Senior English class¬ es in their study of literature, the PTA donated paperback books to the department. In the fall the Senior literature classes were in¬ vited to a special presentation of The Subject Was Roses at the Virginia Museum. In conjunction with the play, the students undertook a study of drama and theater. During the second semester, the Senior English teachers established an independent study course. For the project four Seniors were chosen, who con¬ ducted individual research. Journalism is taught to students by Mrs. Selden. 103 Sciences Offer Challenges To Students Mr. John S. Bailey, B.S., R.P.I. Mrs. Josie Lovelady, B.A., Westhampton Mr. J. E. Faulkner, B.S., V.P.I. Mrs. Margaret Me Kee, A.B., Randolph- Macon Chemistry labs are examined by Miss Nutter’s students. The Science Department this year offered various activities for student participation. Several Physics students were offered an opportunity to visit Vepco, and the Biology classes conducted studies in genetics, probability, and chance. Students were asked to express their special sci¬ entific interests, and the teachers then arranged studies for the students in these fields of interest. The students also used their scientific knowledge throughout the year to decorate the showcase outside the chemistry class. Chemistry classes made a Christ¬ mas tree, using various chemicals as decorations. Other science classes displayed a rock collection and geological leverage maps of the school area. Various summer courses were offered to science students by different colleges and high schools. Such courses were scheduled to be held at V.P.I. and Thomas Jefferson High School.

Mrs. Katherine Hawthorne, B.A., Longwood College Mrs. Sara Woolford, B.A., B.S., Iowa University Mrs. Betsy Bell, B.A., Westhampton College Mrs. Stark conjugates an irregular French verb for her students. Speakers from Argentina frequented the Span¬ ish classes this year and gave Spanish students an idea of the Argentine life and homeland. First year students, who learned Spanish this year by vocal lessons, were able to comprehend a great deal of the lecture. Different methods in teaching French were used this year by a new teacher. Mrs. Stark prompted second and third year students to use their know¬ ledge of the French language in class conversation. Giving skits, writing advertisements, and acting out French fables were also employed as teaching devices. Creating models and reading Roman literature occupied the minds of most Latin students this year. Caesar’s exploits were revealed to Latin II students while Latin III and IV students were in¬ troduced to the works of the Roman poet, Virgil. 105 Mr. E. Dale Clarke, R.P.I. Mr. 0. S. Thigpen, B.S.

Art Courses Contribute To School Decorum In addition to compulsory courses, classes in art, music, and mechanical and industrial arts were of¬ fered to students. The Music Department offered both band and chorus classes to students with mu¬ sical interests. These classes presented various pro¬ grams throughout the year for the entertainment of the school and the community. The Art Department sponsored an Art Fair, for which the classes de¬ signed a copper mural. In addition to this, the de¬ partment worked on the design of the stage set¬ tings, programs, and posters for the Court Players and SCA. The shop classes aided the Art Department in the construction of sets for the plays and frames for paintings. In mechanical drawing the students made models and drew isometrics, orthographies, and oth¬ er types of basic architectural drawings. Mr. Winn adds a personal touch to teaching chorus. 106 Physical Education Classes Smaller This Year Miss Claudia Dodson, B.S., Westhampton, M.S., University of Tennessee Aw, go on Coach Butler, give it back to him. Since there were no ninth graders at Meadow- brook this year, the number of students taking phys¬ ical education was lessened considerably. Classes were mainly made up of Sophomores. With the program divided into two parts, stu¬ dents received health instruction in the classroom, and athletic instruction in the gym and on the play¬ ing fields. Among the athletic activities were basket¬ ball, volleyball, baseball, and parallel bars, the horse, and stunts and tumbling. A new teacher was added to the department during the year when Mr. Butler filled the position vacated by Mr. Bazemore. Coach Rowe shows his students how it is done. 107 This year all of the teachers in the Business Department were members of committees for coun¬ ty courses of study. The department h osted an IBM school for all business teachers in Chesterfield Coun¬ ty. Du Pont invited the teachers to their plant for a tour through the data processing department. The teachers also attended an Administrative Manage¬ ment Society forum and a banquet following the forum. The Business Department was selected to be responsible for the bulletin board for the Chester¬ field County Fair in 1967 Performing various secretarial tasks, business students provided help for the office staff. Vocation¬ al Office Training and Distributive Education were introduced to students at Meadowbrook this year. Next year a course in data processing is expected to be added to the department.

Or that addition and multiplica¬ tion were undefined operations? This year, the students in the mathematics classes widened their knowledge of the different laws of Mathematics, and developed their skill in applying them. Plane and solid geometry were taught together for the first time this year. Although combined in¬ to one subject, the two types of geometry were taught in separate semesters.

The library con¬ tained various types of equipment for school use. Among these were the audio-visual equipment, tape recorders, a tape library, record players, television sets for classroom use, seven daily newspapers, ranging in subject matter from local to national issues, and over 6500 books. Back issues of pro¬ fessional books, magazines, and pamphlets for teach¬ ers were collected and stored. College catalogues and other such information were kept in conference rooms for the students. A project started by the social studies department several years ago requested authors to donate auto¬ graphed copies of their books to the school. These books were kept in the reference section of the li¬ brary. Among the authors who donated books to the school were Mrs. Douglas Southall Freeman, Pearl S. Buck, Bruce Catton, Robert Kennedy, and Barry Goldwater. Mrs. Williamson checks the records in the office. Larry Edminston files magazines in the library. Mrs. Marjorie Dietsch, B.S., Michi¬ gan State University, Richmond Professional Institute 110 Home economics classes, in addition to the reg¬ ular sewing and cooking units werg involved in other special activities this year. The girls studied such subjects as home decoration and child care. A fashion show to which parents were invited was held with the students modeling their own creations. An open house was held at Christmas displaying var¬ ious Christmas desserts made by the girls. Meals were also prepared and served to invited guests dur¬ ing the year. Mr. Gandt enjoys this kind of coffee break.

Sophomores Accept New Responsibility Because Meadowbrook became a senior high school, the Sophomores became the only under¬ classmen. This did not dampen their school spirit, for the roar of the lion was clearly heard as Soph¬ omores actively supported all sports and social func¬ tions and became valuable members of teams and clubs. Looking ahpad financially, the Sophomores col lected dues in order to get a head start on funds needed for their prom. Scholastic knowledge and ingenuity were chal¬ lenged as Sophomores took the S.C.A.T. and S.T.E.P. tests at the beginning of the year. Also the Soph¬ omores began to think more seriously about their future vocations. College bound students studied foreign languages, plane geometry, biology, and world history while future business workers studied courses in general business and typing. In the spring Sophomores ordered their class rings which will serve as a symbol in the coming years that they have become upperclassmen. Mrs. Londeree and David Heaton plan the next class meeting.

Rand, REPORTER; Miss Rutter, Mr. Seaton—Sponsors. Juniors Find Prominence As Upperclassmen Pat Tyson concentrates on finishing Artie. Faced with an industrious and decisive year of study and activities, the Juniors constantly created a lion’s roar. Great tenacity was shown by the Jun- ors as they worked to obtain the money needed to finance their primary concern, the Junior-Senior Prom. In the fall Juniors were in charge of con¬ cession stands at Little League football games, and they sponsored a dance featuring Shirley and the Carousels. Later in the year a bake sale was held and dues were collected. All Juniors took a more serious look at their fu¬ tures. Those who were planning to further their ed¬ ucation were confronted with choosing and apply¬ ing to colleges, continuing college preparatory cour¬ ses, and taking College Board Examinations, VOT, ICT, DE, and other business programs occupied the attention of other Juniors. In the latter part of the first semester, Juniors eagerly received their long awaited class rings—a verification of the fact that they had at last become upperclassmen. 125 John Abernathy Chuck Adams Bill Addison Fay Allen Kay Allen Ray Alvis Janice Anderson Pete Andreu Clark Ashbrook Beverly Autry Quiet Moments Are Difficult To Find In Juniors’ Busy Schedule Patricia Baicy Bud Bailey Mary Bailey Donna Baker Joan Bannister Donnie Bassett John Bates Teresa Bausell Gwen Beasley Dabney Beattie Lestra Bell Thomas Bell Mary Bendrick Vangie Berry Carmen Bickett Barbara Blanton Brenda Blount David Blount Pam Bowers Diane Bowles 126 Ronnie Bozarth Helen Breland Jimmy Martin pauses at his locker.

Working diligently throughout the year, Seniors raised the money necessary for graduation and for a class gift. In addition to money collected for class dues, funds were increased by projects which in¬ cluded a candle sale, a sock hop, and a car wash. Anticipating graduation, Seniors ordered an¬ nouncements in December and were measured for caps and gowns in January. The class chose the red rose as its flower and red and white as its colors. In the fall college acceptances were received by college bound Seniors. Those who did not plan to attend college either enrolled in business schools, searched for employment, or began to decide in which of the armed forces they would serve. The Junior-Senior Prom, Baccalaureate, and Sen¬ ior Class Night brought the year to a memorable close. Thfe Monarch lion was last heard to roar as the Seniors attended graduation and received their diplomas. 136 Patricia Elaine Andrews “Patsy” Brenda Anne Arnold “Brenda” Edward Allen Atkins “Eddie” Jane Wyatt Ballard “Jane” Larry Raymond Bannister “Larry” Jacqueline Erwin “Jackie” Hugh Nelson Bartlett “Butch” John Wayne Barton “John 137 Herbert Bobbitt, Wayne Watkins, and Lillian Kagels vote for the senators of their choice in the mock election.

And now, a tour of our advanced science classroom. SCA speeches are a necessary evil, aren’t they Eddie? 164 School Life Is Filled With Cares And Diversions Mr. Pike, a speaker on safety, seems to be shocked about something. Careful, Mr. Stith may be watching. Wayne Wadkins and Buddy Gordon finally find a use for their short study. 165 p f Graduating Qass of ’67 begins processional, led by Mr. Montgomery and Mr. Stith. Commencement Held For Class Of ’67 After four years of responsibilities and pleasur¬ able activities, Senior Monarchs arrived at their graduation day. The Commencement Exercises for the Class of 1967, held in the Mack D. Moore Memorial Stadi¬ um, were opened with an invocation by Rev. John Kincheloe and by a welcoming address by Mike Roberts, Senior Class President. Graduating Seniors, Sylvia Evans and Jim Lewis, then gave speeches which were followed by a hymn sung by the school choir. An address by Dr. Robert Anderson, Assistant Superintendent of Schools in Chesterfield County, preceded the presentation of diplomas by J. R. Montgomery. After singing the Alma Mater the new alumni marched from the stadium. Graduation was at an end, but the future of the graduates was only just commencing. Rev. Gregory reads scripture at Baccalaureate Service. Jim Lewis receives from Mr. Montgomery the first Mack D. Moore scholarship. Mike Roberts introduces speakers at commencement. Sylvia Evans speaks of decisions facing Class of ’67. 167 TAYLOR PUBLISHING COMPANY The World ' s Best Yearbooks Are Taylor-made” 4
