A Working World Life is a long time. It consists of many years and many days. Those many years and days hold a lot of work in many different shapes and forms. Each different type of work has its own purpose. Students spend the first 18 years of their lives in school to prepare themselves to lead the community. They go to school to lay the mental ground work that will be used in future jobs. The youth of today will be the leaders of tomorrow. This is a very trite statement, but it is quite true. With a future like that ahead, one can’t afford to go in with cold feet. Most high school students have jobs working in stores around the community. This way, they get a first hand look along with experience before it is totally up to them. The students working in the community make up a large part of its working force and without them, many stores would be at a big disadvantage. The enrichment and betterment of students and community is gained, thus both are better prepared for the coming future. Who's winning, Pete—you or the cards? Sleeping on the job again, Cathy? For the latest on heel and sole news, talk to Donald Nelms. What's your bag? Lisa’s is testing the freshness of bread! Linda Woods seems to like this aspect of her job. Community Involvement—7 A Beginning... Concentration is a necessity when it comes to passing. And you say there’s an energy crisis—then look at our parking lot. f you don't like the lunches—eat ice cream! Chuck finds that skipping isn’t so easy anymore with hall monitors like Mac. If this is studying... Patty and Billy receive an A. Can Debby and Steve actually be working? Mr. Walters, a newcomer to Meadowbrook, manages to keep his cool in our busy office. These are the books that you don't receive after you pay $6.00. By the looks of them, I’d say they do need guidance. At the start of every school day is... the bus. 8—Sunrise Have you ever thought about how long a year is? If you think of it as 365 days, it is a long time. But when you think of all the things you’ve done in a year, it doesn’t seem so long. That’s what this yearbook is going to show you—a year as if it were one day. What's the first thing you see in the morning? People! Well, the first thing in this book is the people. You'll meet the students as well as the teachers. Of course you've got to buckle down to work sometime, and when you do, you'll meet the clubs and various organizations of Meadow- brook. A bit of exercise does everybody good and there’s loads of it to be found in our sports. At the end of the day, you like to relax. And re- laxation brings on the special events. -. Sound like fun? Even if it wasn’t fun, it hap- pened twelve times. Twelve years of our lives are spent in school. During those years, time seemed to drag its feet and waste away. But on the verge of leaving those twelve years behind, we wonder, ‘‘where did they go?” It seems as if they went by so fast. We can almost see them as twelve days instead of twelve years and this year as—a year ina day. 10—Student Life Spirit was high this shown here with the spiri UNmoments.

Buchanan: Small, But Tall Small as he may seem, there is a great man who fills the seat behind the large desk in the principal’s office. For the past three years, Mr. Buchanan has held this administrative position and again he has led Meadowbrook High School through another busy, eventful year. Mr. Buchanan has numerous administra- tive jobs to deal with, a few being: super- vising the budget of Meadowbrook to make sure the money is distributed properly and making sure that all events held here at school are properly supervised. Mr. B. is also head coordinator of all programs and departments. And if a teacher has a problem, they need somebody to turn 32 —Mr. Buchanan to—that somebody is Mr. Buchanan. Despite the fact that being principal of a high school is a neverending job, Mr. Buchanan always seems to have time for students. He is always there to help sup- port our activities (he participated in both Donkey Basketball and the WLEE game). And when the Biology class lost a bird, Mr. B. was there ready to help catch it! Mr. Buchanan must also deal with stu- dents’ problems, both academic and per- sonal. We, as a student body, are lucky and proud to have a principal such as Mr. Buchanan who is known for his fair and just discipline. Assistant Principals Keep Students Under Control Again this year, Meadowbrook has had two assistant principals, Mr. Thomas and Mr. Walters. Although each have specific duties, it seems that their tasks are virtually unlimited. Mr. Thomas is the assistant principal in charge of discipline. To a great extent, his work is directly related with the students of our school. He is also involved with the free- doms and limitations of student activities. Mr. Thomas’ duties also include student en- rollment and attendance, as well as the atten- dance of the teachers (for occasionally, our teachers like to “‘skip’’ a day, too). Mr. Walters is new to our school this year. A few of his several tasks are issuing early dismissals from classes and taking care of the parking lot by keeping current records of all students who drive to and from school. Most of Mr. Walters’ jobs are academically inclined. Mr. Walters’ smile has really brightened our office and for his excellent service to Meadowbrook, we wish him welcome. What do you mean you don’t want him home for three days? Ha Ha Ha, you can’t catch me! A good number two is hard to find. Good assistant number two's don’t come easy, either. What's your excuse for leaving today? Mr. Walters, Mr. Thomas—33 Thelma Grizzard Flo Taylor The office workers at Meadowbrook are literally invaluable to the operation of school. The secretaries, Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Grizzard; and teachers’ aids, Mrs. Padgett, and Mrs. Dorton; not only answer telephones, type, run mimeograph machines and handle in and out-going mail, but they also handle tardies and dismissals, take in money and keep account of all books and supplies used throughout the year. Guidance personnel are the students’ key to the future. Mr. Sindlinger (seniors), Mr. Hanson (juniors), Mr. Bailey (sopho- mores), and Mrs. Grizzard (freshmen), are all here at Meadow- brook to help students with job opportunities, scheduling Patricia Dorton problems, grades, choice of a college, and college boards. They Elizabeth Padgett may also be able to help with some personal problems or stu- dent-teacher crisis, just about anything to help plan a person’s future or organize his present. Susan Ritter Martha Rogers Christine Grizzard William Sindlinger George Hanson John Bailey OFFICE 34—Guidance This year, Meadowbrook students had the chance to develop the cultural aspects of their character to a fuller extent. The Drama Department led by newcomer Miss Brennan, had a very active year. They presented the two very successful plays “Come Blow Your Horn” in the fall, followed by the spring production of “You're a Good Man Char- lie Brown.” The music department also had a very good year. With the help and supervision of Mr. Winn, Mrs. Nichols, Mrs. Robertson and after her departure, Mr. Bozart, students with gold- en voices and a musical touch were able to show their talent at its best. Mr. Butler and Mr. Hamrick changed art greatly this year. The traditional classes were offered as well as specialized courses including photography, a completely new course. The very popular humanities class rounds out Fine Arts. Here, Mr. Kane has the students read and study material involving many differ- ent factors which shape society. So as well as providing athletic and aca- demic development, Meadowbrook provides her students with culture. Mr. Bozart directs the orchestra into success!

Lavene waits patiently for class to begin. 36—English Again this year as students eagerly filed into their English classes on the first day of school, the word ‘‘packet’” became a commonly used word. Of course, it was all new to the Freshmen. Again each student worked at his own rate, but was required to meet deadlines which seemed to defeat the purpose of the system. As mid-term rolled around, it seemed quite evident (by the number of students who re- ceived incompletes, the number of teachers leaving, and the number of student and teacher complaints) that the system had failed. Once again a new system was begun. It was new to everyone except the Seniors. The En- glish department returned to the six weeks system used when our Seniors were ‘‘Sophs.” In this system students studied topics at their grade level for six weeks. Six weeks tests were given, aS well as the exam. This way seemed to work better for all the students and teachers. Freshmen teachers were Miss Rielly and Ms. Morrison. Mrs. Troxell and Mr. Angell were the main sophomore teachers. It was the duty of Miss Woodroof, Miss Ford, and Mrs. Smith to teach our Juniors; Mrs. Osborne, Miss Brennan, Mrs. Appessos (with the aid of Mrs. Hawthorne and Miss Rielly) to enlighten our Seniors. We can hardly wait to see what new system will be at M.H.S. next year!

Look at the green slime. James Muller John Adams Mole—Tracheophytes—Velocity—Geosynclines If you need to know about things like this, Meadowbrook has a course for you. Earth Science was taught by Mrs. Living- ston, Mr. Madison, and Mr. Adams. An inves- tigative approach let the students learn about the earth and its changes. Biology is of basic importance to all students because it involves finding out about living things and the “ins and outs” of life. It was taught by Mrs. Deacan and Mr. Search pri- marily, but one class was taught by Mr. Adams. Stephen Madison There are two Chemistry courses—Chem- istry and Chem Study—both explaining our sur- roundings and natural chemical processes. The main difference is that Chem Study involves more math. Chem Study was taught by Mrs. Goehle and Chemistry by Mr. Muller. Physics was a class which proved to be quite baffling to those who took it. In the past, there were two branches of Physics, but this year the two were merged into one. The course dealt with scientific explanations of everyday happenings and was taught by Mr. Muller. Janice Busic Connie George David Bauer Winn Rogers Patricia Wells The Math department tried hard to stress the importance of mathematics and appeared to have succeeded. The higher-level courses, Math Analysis and Calculus, had an increase in enrollment with Calculus tripling in number. The lower level courses did not have as large an increase largely due to the lack of teachers. Thus, the classes were greatly overcrowded. This made teaching as well as learning difficult because teachers were unable to give the individual attention needed. For the second year, Mr. Bauer taught a computer class, with the addition of a new computer this year. All in all the math department had a very successful year and hopes to have the same next year.

You mean you don’t know what size shorts George Washington wore? 40—Social Studies Julian Porter Donald Hines : Howard Walker eo Sue McLain Lee Chase NS Those American History teachers gave a little extra again this year to vary the usual fare of lecture and discussion. First came a general survey, lasting the first 6-weeks, followed by the study of historical periods electéd by the students for the rest of the year. Cheers go to Mr. Porter, Ms. McClain, and Mr. Leslie. Government went back to lecture and discus- sion classes after last year’s failure of the 6- weeks survey system. However, in order to ease the monotony, changes were made in the form of various class discussions and guest speakers in Mr. Hines classes. In addition to Mr. Hines, Government was taught by Ms. Chase, Mr. Walker, and one class by Mr. Kane. Mrs. Geary’s and Mr. Pierson’s World His- tory classes, and Mr. Walker’s, Mr. Pierson’s, and Mrs. Grizzard’s World Geography classes, provided the basis for a well rounded education for the Freshman and Sophomores. Along with conventional Social Studies courses, elective classes were offered in 20th Century History, Practical Law, and Sociology. All added up to a very successful year for this department.

LAND, DIE SPRACHE, I 42—Languages Sara Woolford Sarah Brush Annette Prince m telling you now, don’t come in here unless you can parlez le francais. Linda Davidson Rolf Loock Foreign Languages are quickly becoming popular subjects at Meadowbrook. Students may choose from four languages—French, Spanish, Latin, and German. Spanish was taught by Senoras Woolford, Thalhimer, and, after Senora Thalhimer’s de- parture, Senora Shelton. French was taught by Mesdames Prince and Davidson, Latin by Mrs. Hawthorne, and Dr. Loock was the “illustrious leader” of the Ger- man classes. Katherine Hawthorne In French, Spanish, and German, students study mainly the basics of the language, in- cluding pronunciation, grammar, literature, conjugations, and ennunciation. Latin is cen- tered basically around Roman history and the influence of the Mediterranian world and our own culture, as well as the affects the Latin language has on the English language. Barbara Lester Physical Education is probably the single most important subject at school. Through the activities provided by this department, stu- dents are able to keep in shape. But not only basics for physical excellence are taught. In the ninth grade, first aid teaches what to do in emergencies and general per- sonal hygiene. For the sophomores, driver's ed. acquaints the sophs with laws of the road. After showing he understands the basics of driving, the stu- dent takes behind-the-wheel, where he experi- ences actual road conditions. Sophomores also hold discussions concern- Jim Rowe The girls take on gymnastics fearlessly. Harold Butler Sandra Lee ing teenage problems, and see films on the responsibilities assumed by turning 16. Though freshman and sophomore gym is the main part of this department, Phys. Ed. is offered to 11th and 12th graders. These upper classmen have the privilege of being able w choose which sport they wish to work with and are more or less on an “independent study” system. It’s easy to see that P.E. is not the ‘“‘easy-A”’ many people feel it is. Hard work and skill development are essential to excel in physical education. Hang in there David! Bobby Tucker lf | ever get through with these cards. .. Do you know how to write a check, balance a bank account, or plan a house- hold budget? If not, maybe General Business is the course for you. Perhaps you would rather learn about a type- writer and how to impress your teachers with typewritten term papers. Then typing is the course for you. Or maybe you have a teacher who can really throw out the words. If you need a system to take notes quickly, maybe you should be in shorthand. If selling is a trade you're interested in, Distributive Educa- tion is around. In the Business department, stu- dents learn things helpful in both the business world and a college education. 44— Business Mary Bowen Evelyn Avery Chery!

Glenn Smith Joel Dexter Student appreciation for the library in- creased tremendously over past years. Af- ter spending over $6000 and only having a net gain of five books, the library sent out a plea to the students to help regain the lost books. Their call was answered in the form of many of these books being returned. Along with them came a new appreciation and respect for Meadow- brook’s library. Mr. Smith and Mr. Dexter held casual and easy going Special Ed. classes which included an art class as a break in dull schoolwork. Classes were small enabling teachers to give needed individual atten- tion. Most work was done in the classroom so students seldom had to go other places for sources of material These men have done a good job and we are proud to have 46—Library-Special Education them at MHS.

Pearl Fisher Joe Allen Louise Brown The Cafeteria Staff has done a very good job planning and serving meals to the stu- dents. They have served a variety of meals including freshly made bread or rolls and homemade desserts, ranging all the way from a full three-course meal to a plain hamburger. And for either an addition to or in place of the regular meal, ice cream is offered, an extra which a majority of the students used to its fullest extent. No matter which of these were used, consid- ering the number of people they must feed, the Cafeteria Staff should be congratulated. Have you ever noticed that clean side of a hall, then followed it to find a lady with a broom at the end? Or seen a bathroom door propped open, then through further investi- gation, found another lady filling soap racks? Or seen busted radiator vents, only to return later to see the vents fixed and a man walking away, putting a screw-driver in his pocket?

Balfour Co. has always done an exceptional job on Meadow- brook rings to make them special for the students and this year their pride came through in the shape of a Ring Dinner. All Juniors who had received their rings from Balfour Co. got together in the school cafeteria and had a dinner with food provided by certain members of the class. You can always count on Balfour for the rings and Monarchs for a way to celebrate. ‘ : Pt yet es : me ae Eye nd | thought the cafeteria food-was-bad! 12 years of learning, 12 years of learning, What does it mean, _, Seeking, Does it mean a richer life, What shall it be?

But there is much more involved than just this. Members of the club must work very hard. The FHA Is very active, doing many things around Meadowbrook. These girls make and sell baked goods and also organize Mr. B’s luncheon. They also sponsored a mother- daughter banquet and had a skating party this year. The club is always eager for new members, so get involved in home economics and join our future homemakers!

Sponsored by our own Mrs. Woolford, the club tried to make Spain, its history, and its lan- guage come alive to those who were in the club. You know all those weird Spanish foods that you never quite had the nerve to try? Well, those were the main dishes served at the Span- ish banquets this year. Various dinners were held at different members’ homes each time and the seniors and senoritas came to enjoy. 88—Spanish Club When they grew tired of having so many suppers, there was always something else to do. For instance, in the fall, much of their time was occupied in putting their Don Quixote float together. They did a great job and cap- tured a second place prize in the Homecoming parade.

They took an active role in setting it up and contributed a lot to the entertainment. A trip to Washington in the spring had to be cancelled, due to the gas shortage; but, they had a busy year without the trip and a bunch of fun to boot! This year our Latin Club had very little to do; but even so, they had a good time. They took an active part in many of the ac- tivities that were to add flare to the foreign language department, such as the Language Day Banquet. And this year, they celebrated various Roman holidays and red-letter dates in Roman history. The highlight of the year was the celebration of the birthday of that great city founded by that dynamic duo— Romulus and Remus—Rome! Veni, Vidi, Vici! Veni, Vidi, Veci!

Wow! Do you realize what benefits can come from taking French? Among other things, you can become a member of the French Club. And what a busy year they had this year. The Club had plans for many things as the year opened. They had dinners at various members homes. and came dressed as famous French characters. These dinners featured the elegant cuisine of the country. The French Club was in charge of the Language Day Banquet this year and working out the techni- calities. They planned to conclude their year with a trip to Washington, seeing the sights of our nation’s capital. Viva la France!

By helping students, members get a better chance to decide if they wish to go into the field of Library Science. This year, the Library club sponsored a Paper- back Book Fair to raise money for library uses. They also shelve books, work behind the desk, and write and deliver overdue book notices. A.F.S.

The Keyettes are one group at Meadow- brook that really shows their spirit. They sup- port girls’ basketball and wrestling. This year, they were especially involved with the wres- tling tournament by keeping the score cards and running errands for the coaches. They also sponsored the “Keyette Player of the Week” during football and basketball season. This is where the Keyettes pick one outstanding player for that week and put his picture and some- thing about him on the office window. The Keyettes are involved in the community, too. They do volunteer work and visit the Crippled Children’s Hospital on holidays. The Keyettes are definitely one club Meadowbrook can be proud of. Keyettes Show Spirit Joyce Mercer listens to new ideas. ... and that’s not even the punch line. Patti Orfield presides at Keyette meeting. ODD JOBBERS Key Club members ‘‘take root.” Mr. Hawkins tries to escape. Chris and Tucker show they've got a green thumb. The Key Club is another active club at Meadowbrook. They support our football team by raising and lowering the flag at the games and parking cars. This year the Key Club planned a ‘‘clean up the community” day, but it was rained out. As a part of their ecology program, they planted trees and bushes aroun d the school. They also rode bicycles and car- ried signs on Jefferson Davis Highway en- couraging people to slow down or ride bi- cycles to save gasoline and clean the air. The Key Club obviously had some ‘clean’ fun as well as helping others in the community.

During the Miss Meadow- brook Pageant, the club worked the conces- sionaire. In April while the bloodmobile was here, the Tri-Hi-Y (along with the Keyettes) served refreshments to donors. The week of February 14th was Tri-Hi-Y week. To celebrate, the members took their Little Brother (Tucker Perkins), and Sweet- heart (Ray Alexander) to dinner. Also that week, the Tri-Hi-Y had a slave day where the mem- bers were slaves. They did odd jobs such as cleaning out lockers and carrying books for set prices. The money they raised went into the treasury to be used for future projects. 94—Tri-Hi-Y pee ay A a ; ‘NX roo A % aim A CHESS CLUB LEFT TO RIGHT: John Huggins, Mike Valentine, Richard Linderman, Richard Getek, John Harrison, Ray Petteway, Mr. Muller, sponsor; Steve Meadows, Charles Woodcock, Scott Siddons, Kenneth Williams, Charles Grinenger.

That's just one of the many moves the Meadow- brook Chess Club uses. The members know whether or not that is the right move from their many hours of practice and concentra- tion. The club meets everyday after school at which time the members take each other on in a practice match. Sometimes, their sponsor, Mr. Muller, sets up difficult situations that the members work out to improve their games in competition. Have you ever wondered about the Bible? Do questions about God’s word run around in your mind? The Bible Fellowship searches for the answers to the questions anyone may have. They discuss the various questionable topics, giving their ideas and views. The meetings are open to all students who wish to come and share their feelings and thoughts, and are held twice weekly.

This team consisted of four debaters and a crew of researchers. These debaters have traveled all over the state participating in debate tournaments. They visited Hopewell High School, V.M.I., Long- wood, and Madison College, among other places. In addition to debating, these students have become an affiliate of the National Forensics League. This National Honor Society for speech and debate will give them an oppor- tunity to receive national recognition for themselves as well as Meadowbrook. The Debate Team is off to a good start. Hopefully, each year it will bring additional success to Meadowbrook. 96—Debate Team Players Produce First Musical The Court Players is an Honor Society for all persons who have been involved in two or more play productions at Meadowbrook. These plays provide entertainment and education in the world of Theatre Arts for the community. Funds for the productions are raised by the Court Players through contributions, patrons sold for play programs, and profits from tickets. In accordance with their tradition, they produced two plays at Meadowbrook this year. Miss Brennan, their new sponsor, was a wel- come addition to these productions. mw UY COURT PLAYERS LEFT TO RIGHT: Steve Williamson, Brenda Stillman, treasurer; Barbara Wood, Diane Wallin, Anna Whitehurst, Rhett Bledsoe, Charles Phelps, Carol Wincklehofer, Judy James, Karen Williams, Karen Beazley, sec- retary; Larry Hall, John Vance, Dermot Lydon, Paul Baldwin, president; Gary Hall.

Members are tapped in the spring and fall to raise the membership. Initiates must have an “A” average in math or a ‘'B” if they are on the honor’s program. Members must be en- rolled in Algebra I|-Trig, Math Analysis, or Calculus to be eligible. Mu Alpha is not a club that sits around solving equations, finding derivatives, or work- ing on other tedious math problems. Just like all other clubs, they have fund-raising pro- jects that require the hard work of its members. The Math Club watched the progress of the comet Kohoutek with interest, and traveled to various schools which sponsored comet watches. In the spring, the National MA@ test was given to those interested students. An annual spring banquet completed the Math Club’s year, including the installation of the new math whizzes! It's a bird... It’s a plane . . . No, it's only Comet Kohoutek streaking through space.

History Buffs Travel to NY, NY K Q © is one of the honorary clubs at Meadowbrook. Members are selected from applicants who are the most outstanding in the field of social studies—those who show a genuine interest in history. Initiation into the club is an accomplishment of which to be proud. New members were tapped in the fall, and as an added flavor, were required to dress as a famous historical person for a day. The most original costume was awarded to Angela Elam (alias Martha Washington). Membership in K @® requires a lot of hard work and time. Various projects were undertaken by the club to raise funds for a spring trip. In November, the annual “Battle of the Brains’ was sponsored. The Junior-Senior rivalry intensified; the Seniors finally won 320-295, but only after a shaky start. Several speakers were invited to talk to the club including Dave MacNally (political car- toonist), Lt. Paul Gallanti, and an expert on the Beale mystery. A trip to New York was taken in March. Those who went saw all the sights of the “big” city. Later, a Broadway musical was seen. The club ended a busy year with spring tappings.

Bluegrass Delights Folk Rock Crowd Our student government is one of the most important facets of school life. The purpose of the S.C.A. is to bring the students, faculty, and administration closer together through various activities, while. making our school more prominent in the community. The Student Cooperative Association is composed of the House of Representatives, the Senate and the Honor Court. Members of the House and Senate are elected each year by their respective classes. The Honor Court is chosen by different means. At the head of ‘the S.C.A. are the five officers who were elected at the end of last year. This year, our S.C.A. was very busy. Plagued by many apathetic members at first, the S.C.A. struggled to accomplish what they had planned. Through hard work, the S.C.A. put the Back to School Dance, the annual Folk Rock Concert, Christmas Dance, and the Miss Meadowbrook Pageant together. Unfortunately, the student body did not support these functions as well as they could have. Also, sponsored by the S.C.A. was a student- faculty basketball game, for the purpose of raising funds for a statue erected in memory of Dr. Roy Alcorn. Let’s hope that next year the S.C.A. will continue their hard work and that the stu- dents will not take them so much for granted.

Even so, very little is ever heard about it or what the Court does. The Honor Court is composed of eight justices, and one of these is a chief jus- tice. This position is permanently held by the President of the National Honor Society. The members must submit an application to the ad- visor telling why they wish to be considered for a seat and what their qualifications are. The justices are then selected on the basis of scholarship, leadership, ability, and concern. This group of students form the Judicial Branch of our SCA, and they have several important jobs. Their chief concern is dis- honesty and cheating within the school. As unfortunate as it is, these are problems which are very real at Meadowbrook; these students— as well as others—wish to see it stopped and are doing something about it. The Court consists of: one sophomore— ANDREW ©. WAtTeRs Kaye Throckmorton; three Juniors—Jimmy Pittman, Susan Roberts, and Tommy Sherrill: and four Seniors—Susie Pearse, Graham Wil- son, Anna Whitehurst, and Dale Finlay (chief justice). Most of the meetings are held during activities or before school. The Honor Court reviews cases involving students who were turned in by their teachers for cheating or similar actions. The Court then questions the student and makes a decision. lf they agree with the teacher, a formal writ- ten apology is usually required. If the student refuses to comply with the decision that is made, it could be necessary for a suspension by Mr. Thomas. Unfortunately, there was a marked increase in the number of cases this year. This kept the court and their sponsor very busy. These students deserve a hand for a job well-done— even when a decision is hard to make, they seemed to come up with the right answer.

The Society is recognized nationally and mem- bership gives seniors a good recommendation for the college of their choice. This year, twenty-six members, more than have ever been in the Meadowbrook chapter before, worked in this organization. To be tapped as a mem- ber, you must conform to the national re- quirements of scholarship, leadership, char- acter, and service. This year’s society had a bake sale and used the money to help pay for their sashes to be worn at graduation. Spring tappings were held on April 25 in the courtyard, with Seniors in caps and gowns. The Seniors filed in, led by the National Honor Society. Dr. Brandt, president of Virginia Commonwealth University was the guest speak- er.. Then, the sixteen new members were tapped and took the official oath. Two of the tappees were seniors and will not return next year, but the fourteen remaining will uphold the high standards of the National Honor So- ciety in the coming year.

Hanniick Life is made up of past, present, and future. The present is short-lived and who knows what the future will bring? But the past is always there, to reflect upon and remember. A year- book is for your memories, and that’s what the SCEPTRE is all about. We have tried this year to give Meadowbrook the book they have wanted for so long. There is more color and special effects in this book than in any other to ever come out of this school. And this was made possible because for the first time, over two- thirds of the student body ordered a book. This, and ads obtained by our staff, gave us the money we needed to make this book some- thing special. Also the SCEPTRE Staff spon- sored a concert during 6th period in January. The Holidays (you know—that group with Mr. Search, Miss Ford, and Mr. Winn) were the star performers. The proceeds from this helped pay for these added extras. Remember the day of the first pep rally, or when you found out that your favorite teacher was leaving? Remember Senior Week and all those underclassmen on the flagpole? What about that pie-eating contest and winning the Prince George basketball game? Can’t you see the pictures of the Miss Meadowbrook Pageant and the prom flashing in your mind? All this goes to show that there are an awful lot of happenings in a day, and even more in a year. But 1974 passed so quickly, almost like a year in a day—and that’s what SCEPTRE '74 is showing, a year as if it were one day. We hope that this book will become a treas- ured keepsake of yours and will be as impor- tant to you as it is to the staff who worked so very hard on it. “And | could be writing my English theme! says Jennifer.

What a time to cut your nails, Karen! Ray, don’t you know that the wet head is dead? Susie takes time out from her hard work for a quick forty winks. “Would you grid this article?” “Can you cover the baseball game today?” These are familiar lines to people on our newspaper staff. The MEDALLION took on a new form this year. It was much bigger and all layouts, type- setting, and photography was done by the staff members. Financially, this helped them a great deal. Fifties-Sixties was the Cat’s Pajamas! Each edition of the paper this year was at least four pages, and several consisted of six or eight pages. Also, a special April Fool's edition was published. The papers were composed of all the usuals—news articles, covering events around the school, editorials, feature articles, and sports articles. Also, Monarchs of the Month were selected by the staff for each edition. “How in the world did they raise all the money?” is a very plausible question. Of course, the sale of the newspaper was im- portant, but other projects were sponsored as well. Cupid’s Hotline reappeared this year. But the biggest project was the 50’s and 60’s dance. Our school was turned into a relic of the past. Nostalgia filled the air as students came to school in the attire of the decade. The parti- cipation was really great, and this helped to pull the apathetic students into the swing of things. So you can see that we had a really “boss’”’ newspaper staff this year!

The Muse is one of three publications that appear at Meadowbrook. This hard-working staff of students puts together the Muse, our literary magazine. This publication is different in that it gives all students a chance to do their own creative writing and have their work appear before the school. Each year, students are invited to submit their poetry, short stories, haiku, or any other sort of literature for publishing. The staff edits and prepares the material and the magazine is distributed in the spring. To help cover costs this year, the Muse did their own typing and type-setting. They also sponsored a music concert to help students relax. True, the Muse is a hard-working staff, but unfortunately, they are not given credit where credit is due. 108—Muse “And the winner is...” Peyton becomes star-struck after being tapped by Dorline.

The Quill and Scroll is an honorary society that is composed of Juniors and Seniors who are in the upper one-third of their class and are involved in some sort of editing, man- aging or active participation in one of the three publications at Meadowbrook. Sixteen members were tapped this year to make a total of eighteen members. The major undertaking of the Quill and Scroll is publishing the Senior Paper. This year they had to do all of the griding, typing and typesetting themselves due to poor financial situations. Included in the paper this year were Senior Last Wills and Testaments, the puns with names, Senior superlatives, and an article on the history of this year’s Senior class. This year, the Quill and Scroll was helped by the experience of its two returning members— Paulette Privitera and Dorline Davidson.

Quill and Scroll—109 The Varsity Cheerleaders do a great job. They make signs for all sports, especially football and basketball, as well as actively supporting the spring sports. They make treats for all the athletes and attend most of their games. The biggest project our cheerleaders under- take is the Homecoming Week. They organize pep rallies all during the week, including the spirit chain and bon fire. They also organize the Homecoming Parade in which all the clubs enter a float. These floats are judged in the categories of most school spirited, most ori- ginal, and most attractive. The high point of the week is the big dance on Saturday where all the students and alumni get together for a big time of dancing and reminising. We certainly can’t forget those smiling, jumping girls who do such a fine job coor- dinating our Friday morning pep rallies. Meadowbrook athletes are lucky to have such a spirited group of girls supporting them.

Promoting school spirit at pep rallies and sporting events is the job of the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders, and they did the job well this year. By encouraging school spirit and pro- viding leadership for the student body in school sponsored activities (such as Homecoming in which they spent a lot of time), the J.V. Cheer- leaders showed that a small amount of spirit can go a long way toward making a great school. So by their contribution to school life, the Junior Varsity Cheerleaders helped Meadowbrook High School to be a better school to attend. All of their hard work should be greatly appreciated. Junior Varsity Cheerleaders—111 Majorettes Give Inspiration To M.H.S. As always, Meadowbrook’s majorettes worked hard on routines to perform before the student body. Their major events were pep-rallies, football games, parades, and concerts. But there’s a lot more to being a majorette than twirling. The Monarch T-shirts that were worn around school were sold by the major- ettes to raise money for camp. The support of the student body in the buying of these shirts was greatly appreciated. The squad not only performed with batons, but they also used pom-poms, as well as rou- tines they learned at majorette camp. All together the squad was inspiring to M.H.S. 112—Majorettes STRUTTERS MAJORETTES LEFT TO RIGHT: Linda Baird, captain; Denise Shenn, Dorline Davidson, Terry Gillespie, Selena Mullins, Nancy Robertson. The Drill Team did various types of rou- tines besides the regular marching and pom-pom routines this year. They added dance routines, flags, and guns (which they were taught how to twirl by the Fort Lee Honor Guard). For parades and pep-rallies, the squad broke into two separate groups; half twirled guns and half twirled flags. The old uniforms and boots were dis- posed of and new “mix and match” uni- forms were bought. The traditional white marching boots were replaced by high- heeled marching boots. Practice was held once a week during the summer and every day in August. Their hard work at the practices showed in their performances. Honor NOT Color This year, the Honor Guard held prac- tices separately from the Drill Team (from which they were split last year). They are called an Honor Guard—not a Color Guard—because they present the flag. The Honor Guard consists of six girls; four of which carry guns and two who carry flags. They presented the flags before pep- rallies, football, and basketball games. The Honor Guard also marches with the other marching units in parades. They do a good job and their service is greatly appreciated. COLOR GUARD LEFT TO RIGHT: Susan Phelps, Wendy Davis, Joanne Wright, Sharon Bates, Gayle Fobia, Donna Pancoast.

Tye Marching Band Halftime is the spotlight for Marching Band. Everyone tags behind the Marching Band as they form a spirit chain. Let's stay in step, gang. AO ReNRNIRRNKORAREEE MARCHING BAND Marching Band was handled a little different this year. For the first time, it was non-mandatory for band members. Membership was low, but that is to be expected for a “new” group. The Marching Monarchs attended all home football games and participated in several parades. Although they did not attend the away games, a Pep Band was sent. They also attended all the pep rallies to instill spirit as well as to provide accompaniment for the Drill Team and Majorettes. Another new note for the Marching Band is the fact that there are no officers, with the exception of Drum Major. Officers were previously needed to help curb the discipline problem. But with the Band being a select group, it was felt that there would be no severe discipline problems. The concept of ‘Voluntary Marching Band” was intro- duced with high hopes, and although the Marching Mon- archs w ere always being criticized for their lack of quan- tity, they proved that quality not quantity is what counts. Their performances were every bit as good as those of past bands and their spirit just as high. For their excellent service to Meadowbrook and the surrounding community during football season, we grant them the right of know- ing that they were a success. CONCERT BAND While Marching Band had its changes, Concert Band underwent a few changes as well. For the first time, the Concert Band (more commonly known as the Varsity Band) consisted of mostly underclassmen. All woodwinds in the school were placed in this Band, making J.V. Band a Brass Ensemble. The Band was smaller in number than it has ever been before, but as our Bands have repeatedly proven, small numbers don’t stop musical Monarchs. The Concert Band participated in two concerts: the Christmas Concert and the Spring Concert. They also took part in Band Festival, an event where bands are judged on a number of musical items such as: intonation, tone, quality, etc. They received a Superior rating (the highest possible rating a band could receive). And if that is any indication as to what is to come in future years, look out Henry Mancini! ORCHESTRA We also have string instruments and their talent ap- pears in our Orchestra. It was the second year for the Orchestra and the first year for their new director, Mr. Bozarth. Mr. Bozarth, who graduated from Meadowbrook in 1968, came from VCU to teach the Orchestra classes when Mrs. Robertson left. The Orchestra participated in the Christmas and Spring Concerts. Also this year, members of the Orchestra went to Solo and Ensemble as individuals and all received either a superior or an excellent rating. With the inclusion of the Orchestra, our Music Depart- ment is truly well-rounded with talent. Some new recruits for the Lawrence Welk Show. Concert Band displays their talents during the Christmas Concert. And a one, and a two, and a three.

Performers they are and performing they did. The New Sound Ensemble performed at many churches, dinners, the Spring Concert, and in the Arts Festival in the Courtyard. The group was paid when they performed at area dinners and this money was used for transpor- tation purposes. The group was made up of interested singers who had fifth period study hall. For once, this group did not lack in funds. This was partly due to the fact that it didn’t need as much money 116—Ensemble Perfect performances come from hard practicing. Was that a sour note, or my ears? Hey! You've got on my dress! as many of the other groups did. The Ensemble consists of singers only. All of the instrumentalists were interested musici- ans who wanted to help. T he Ensemble ‘‘class”’ receives no credit. Under the direction of Mr. Winn, the group worked very hard, rehearsing during activities period and occasionally after school. The New Sound Ensemble should be recog- nized as one of the fastest growing groups in the school.

ECOLOGISTS Energy Crisis Cramps Ecologists This year’s Science Club was small in size and small in activities. Although many interest- ing field trips were planned, only a few were carried out; this was due to the gas shortage. The club did go to Washington D.C. during the winter and they attended many interesting places there. A camping trip to Seashore State Park is scheduled for late spring and hopes are high that it will be a success. The size of this year’s club is just right ac- cording to Mr. Adams. He says that a large club cannot get as much done as a small one. There is no dire need of money, although the club would be better off if money was readily available. Mr. Adams says there will be a Science Club next year, but that it may possibly go into the field of ham radio or stamps. Next year, we hope the Science Club will have better luck planning their activities. “We've got to stop meeting like this, John!” “1 wonder if China is somewhere on the other side?” Pep Club Boosts Spirit Did you know that there is a group of stu- dents here at Meadowbrook who try to defeat the growing apathy and instill spirit at football and basketball games? Well, there is. They are called the Pep Club and rightly so. They are the ones who sell the spirit ribbons before games to get the students interested. They also sold pom-poms and Meadowbrook sweaters. The members are given trophies for participation and the member who sells the most ribbons gets a $10.00 gift certificate. This year’s cl ub has increased in size over last year’s club and has tried hard to “‘get it together.” The Pep Club has been handicapped in past years by the office. They are not al- lowed to wear uniforms and haven’t been a recognized group, but they will always supply the spirit M.H.S. needs.

These second and third year students are responsible for running the Mascot Den, with the funds to run the store being sup- plied by the administration. Through this, the students gain salesmanship experience. D.E.C.A. has a lot of activities during the year. They attend a fall rally with other D.E.C.A. clubs in the Chesterfield Henrico district. Their Christmas Dinner was canceled this year ‘because of snow, but in February they attended a district contest in which 10 Meadowbrook students competed with other students for a chance to go to the state contest in Roanoke. They wind up their year with an employer- employee banquet. This is where the second and third year students who work invite their employer to a banquet held at a restaurant in Richmond. D.E.C.A. prepares these students with sales- manship and leadership experience. It also gives them a head start over other students who do not intend to go to college.

Coach Rowe remarked, “This team worked harder and improved more as the season went on than any other team I’ve coached. These guys didn’t let defeat keep them down. Of course, it hurt at first, but this made the boys more determined, also. |’m real proud of these boys and what they accomplished.” All in all, it was a fine season. The team had good leadership and worked well together as a whole, an important characteristic of a winning team.

The team’s purpose was to give the guys a chance to play more and gain experience. Our J.V.’s were coached by several Meadow- brook Alumni: Joe Thomas, Jerry Bowman, and Jimmy Harris. These men really worked hard and their efforts paid off. The team was led by the fine running of Keith Williams, Tim Mays, and Dale Wadkins. Along with their running and the offensive line’s fine job of blocking the team moved very well. The defense proved effective and held opposing offenses to minimum yardage. The defensive line was led by Ricky Seelman and Mark Fanelli while the defensive backfield was led by linebacker Mike Toney. The team’s all-out effort was good and the varsity squad should be glad to get these guys next year. JV.

Our Girls Fired Up A Winning Season Meadowbrook’s Lady Monarchs really came forth this year when they finished their season with a 10-4 record and were third place in the district. There were six seniors on the team with two of them being the high scorers of the season, Suzie Owens and Karen Taylor. The 12 member team included a sophomore and a freshman, both of which proved to be great assets during the games. “| was really pleased with this year’s team,” said Mrs. Lester. “They really showed team- work on and off the court and were one of the best teams I’ve ever coached.” Although six girls are leaving, there will be six girls remaining with a few moving up from the J.V. team. This year was a good season, but many students felt the Lady Monarchs didn’t receive the support they should have.

A .500 season doesn’t seem like much to brag about, but with the competition our teams faced, it is! Led by co-captains Martin Hudgins and Tim Brooks, the team worked very hard in practices this year and were ready for every game. They worked hard on different defenses, developing their man-to-man and zone defenses almost to perfection. Everybody put forth their greatest 134—J.V. Basketball J.V.’s—Any Indication? ... effort to produce a season which would show an improvement. New members added alot to the team. Timmy Weddle, the team’s high scorer, helped with his fantastic outside shooting and ability to penetrate the opponent's defense. George Robinson was our big guy; along with Mark Rapalee, he pulled down a large part of our rebounds. Tim Brooks and Martin Hudgins also helped the team get set on the court and called the offenses and defenses to use. Glenn Kelly was also an asset, especially in our free throw department. Jack Oliver also proved to be a valuable player, and he gained alot of playing experience as did many others. Many long hours were spent in preparing for the games; if you ever wanted to see exciting games, our JV’s gave them to you! Several games were won by close margins and had to go into overtime periods. We can see that Coach Bauer had a good group of boys and that they were able to accomplish what they set out to do—improve! With only four players leaving this year, hopes for next year are bright.

As regular as clockwork, spring follows winter and with this change, there also comes a change in school life. Semester exams are past, basketball and wrestling are now memories of embarrassment and triumph. Ahead lay hopes for victory in our Spring sports. 1974 proved to be a good year for MHS and its Spring sports teams. Disappointing, though, was the sparce attendance at most sports functions. Varsity Baseball had to be the most disappointing of all of the Spring sports teams. The season, which would be rated as slightly less than mediocre, was a far cry from the hopes of having a dis- trict contender. However, their poor season was contrasted by the very fine season their JV counter- parts had. Our JV’s repeated as Central District titlist, tying Colo- nial Heights for first place. Enthusiasm is the only word to describe our golf, tennis, and girls softball teams. Golf had a great season finishing second in the dis- trict with a 22-4 record. They also finished seventh in State competition. Our tennis team was also a champion. In regular season play, they tied Midlothian, the strongest Practice Makes for... team in the district and one of the strongest in the region, for first place. However, they lost the play- off match. The Lady Monarchs, too, had a very impressive season. Their spirit and support of MHS was shown by their Central District Tournament Championship which they won through knocking off a team which had a two-year winning streak. Each of our Spring teams had high and low points as experienced in all sports. But these teams over- came the ‘lows’ and the high points greatly outweighed the low ones. Each individual really per- formed well and was a great repre- sentative of MHS..Each team sup- ported Meadowbrook as best they could. Can we say that we, Mea- dowbrook, supported these sports as best WE could? Unfortunately not. —Ronnie Gunter Sports editor JV. Baseball—145 ... A Winning Season—JV’s Win 10, Lose 2 What a season our JV Baseball team had! These guys pulled together and practiced long and hard to put together one of the best JV teams that Meadowbrook has ever seen. Our JV’s concluded with a mark of 10-2; the excel- lence of this record speaks for itself. Again this year, Jamie Acashian coached the JV’s. His hopes that hard practices would again make a fine, winning team came true. From the boys that make up the team this year, several will be prospects for our Varsity 146—J.V. Baseball team next year. Because of the experience our JV players will have gained, they will most likely prove to be valuable Varsity players. Also, those Freshmen who do not make the “big team’’ next year will be back to give the sup- port, leadership, and experience our JV’s will need. Our team was led by co-captain Mike Rapa- lee, the hitting specialist. His batting average was .900 for the season. With hitting like this, how can you lose? Also, ace hurler Dale Wat- kins led the team in pitching; his season record of 4-0, speaks for itself. School support this year was not very high; in fact, it was downright poor in view of the fact that their season was so good. Despite this, our JV’s came through—something they can be proud of—something our school should be proud of. The support will be much better next year and surely our junior squad will perform with magnificence . . . anyway, let’s hope so.

Unfortunately, our Varsity Baseball team didn’t enjoy a good season. Hopes were high that we would have a winning season after re- cording 10 wins and 6 losses last year. But this season proved to be only mediocre—to say the most. Our team won 4 and lost 11 games. Again this year, the support for baseball was better, but still not at the point it should be. Most of the support came at the start of the season, but soon began to trail off as the fans became tired of disappointing defeats. Several factors contributed to the season the “diamond” Monarchs had. One was that sever- al of the boys had never played together be- fore. The major reason, however, was the fact that several starters from last year’s squad graduated. Even though quite a few players re- turned, most of them lacked the playing experi- ence that is needed to start every game. The team was led by co-captains Mitch Dud- ley and Mark Bland. These two led the team in hitting and also helped to perk up team morale. The pitching of such hurlers as David Holbrook helped the team in pinched situations. Disappointing as the season was, the team undoubtedly gained alot of experience. Under the direction of Coach Butler, the team was able to sharpen its ragged edges somewhat, and look like a fairly decent team. This year, the team will not be hurt as much by graduation. True, the big sluggers (Bland and Dudley) will be leaving: but the closeness of this group of boys, combined with the spirit, attitude, and experiences gained this season, are sure to produce a well-balanced team next year—one that can do as good a job of repre- senting MHS as did our ’74 Monarchs.

The team faltered in the beginning losing its first two games, but the girls “pulled it all together” and at their third outing, they beat Colonial Heights, who was undefeated at that time. The Girls’ Softball Team was coached by Mrs. Sandy Lee, a newcomer to MHS this year. Along with her good leadership and the team’s determina- tion to win (lead by seniors: Karen Taylor-pitcher, Susie Owens-catcher, Patti Orfield-second base, Brenda Barham-third base, and Debby Jackson- right field), they placed fourth in the District. Meadowbrook Captures Central District Title This qualified them for the Central District Tournament. In the first round of tournament play, our girls beat Midlothian 15-3. In the semi- finals, our Lady Monarchs beat Dinwiddie 8-5. This was the first time Din- widdie had lost in two years. In the finals, the girls faced Manchester and won 14-6, making Meadowbrook’s Girls’ Softball Team the Central District Champions. Next year, the team will have to do quite a lot of rebuilding, but if their enthusiasm is an indication of their determination, rebuilding won't be a problem at all.

Our team did well this year and they handed District “Champ,” Thomas Dale, their only loss. The team is made up of six starters plus a varying number of boys who are in training. The six starters go to matches, usually a tri-team affair. Here, the three schools compete against each other. Each player shoots twelve holes of golf, weather permitting. The scores for all the players are added and the team having the fewest number of strokes is the winner. This year our team was led by Senior Mac Tyler, who was also selected Golf Team Places Second in District as Most Valuable Player. MHS finished second in the District and com- peted at State level where they finished seventh out of all the teams in the state. This is quite an accomplishment considering the number of teams in Virginia. Other important players to our team were Mark Owens, Chuck Wolff, Chris Meyer, and Kyle Miller. The rest of the team was filled with under- classmen. Although there are four seniors who will be graduating, five re- turners will be here to help our MHS golfers get swinging again. FORE!

Their only loss was to Midlothian which tied the Monarchs and the Trojans for first place. The Mon- archs later played against the Trojans again for the District title and lost 5-4. “They all played together as a team and knew what they were doing when they were out there against their opponents,” said Coach Bauer. Scott Wilson was nominated as the Most Valuable Player for this year’s Tennis Team. The rest of the team really put forth a lot of effort and this is one of the reasons they had such a great season. The team this year consisted of 3 seniors, 6 juniors, and 2 sophomores. The team also had two female members, Renée Menuet, who is a three year veteran, and a newcomer, Pat Dardoufas. Pat and the other few newcomers show great promise for the future tennis teams here at MHS. Although Coach Bauer and the 3 seniors will not be back next year, there are the remaining members left with hopes of a future Central District title.

The team greatly im- proved from last year and the future looks even better with most of the team return- ing next year. Manchester was the first to fall victim to Our minutemen as they raced towards a 4-4 season. This record may not seem too impressive, but it marks the best record a MHS track team has ever had. The team was well-rounded, but much of our strength was in pole-vaulting. In this event, Mark Taylor took Ist place in the District. Scott Mills, and Jay Thomas placed Work—Key To Best Record Ever 4th and 5th in Regional Competition, respectively. However, there were plenty of other standouts on the team. Edmund Collins took 5th place in the Triple jump in the Dis- trict meet, and Darrell Butler (who was voted as Most Valuable Player) won the In- termediate Hurdles at the District meet. Also in District competition, Steve Traylor took 2nd in the shotput, and Rodney Cooper placed 2nd in the mile. Two of our track stars, Jay Thomas and Scott Mills, w ent to State competition at the University of Virginia. There, Scott finished 6th. Even though these boys didn’t place near the top, it took alot of hard work to make it to the State Meet. This was quite an accomplishment. We can see that MHS is quickly improv- ing in track and will certainly prove to be a District contender next year. Keep on hurdling, Monarchs. .. Manchester, Midlothian . .

It is quite possible that this is not totally the fault of the club. Their actions might be the result of society's inconsistency to uphold the laws of our country. It seems that in day-to-day life, the majority of people ignore the laws and most forms of authority. People tend to make their own rules. But when someone is caught breaking a law, then it is a totally different thing. Everyone tends to preach to the violator about following rules and laws. This age-old problem exists in all facets of our life all around us. A good ex- ample is Watergate. Buggings, pay-offs, etc. have been occurring for years, but nobody considered it a wrong-doing. It was “okay.” But, somebody got caught. Now people are ready to stand right by the book in their punishment for the infraction. A closer-to-home example is cheating. When someone cheats on a quiz or a test, it is generally accepted as “okay.” But the minute somebody gets caught, it is a totally new story. Why is this such a problem? It will probably never be stopped, unless some- body finds a way to curb rationalizing. At any rate, maybe all groups at Meadow- brook will take heed. And hopefully, next year will see a new Hi-Y.

Christmas Concert—165 Bluegrass is the Hit at Folk Rock It was a small crowd that came to the gym to sit under a para- chute on November third and listen to the music. IF THAT PARACHUTE FALLS, WE'LL ALL BE SUFFOCATED. And did they hear music! There were guitar solos by Nancy Reed, Calvin Cecil, our own Mr. Muller and Stan Dorsey. IS STAN STILL PLAYING? Folk songs were sung by Karen Taylor and Company, along with Robert Day and Jurgen Korb. Hard Rock was represented by three groups, Live Oak, Fragile, and Lucifer. | DON’T THINK | CAN SIT MUCH LONGER, BOTH OF MY LEGS ARE ASLEEP. The monotony was brok- en by the Fencepost Five, who delighted everyone with Ham- bone. The crowd went crazy over a four-piece band called the Richmond Bluegrass Symphony. | LIKE THE TALL ONE. They were the favorite band and received two standing ovations. ONE MORE TIME! That's pretty good. Calvin. but it’s just not Bluegrass Mr Muller (assisted by Ray Arritt) played guitar and sang the theme from M.A.S.H Hard rock falls on deaf ears Tom and Mary clap happily (Maybe Stan has finished. ) Ray Alexander and Graham Wilson (not pictured) were the S.C.A hosts Now, that's Bluegrass! brought to you by the Richmond Bluegrass Symphony The Fencepost Five ham (bone) it up 166 Folk Rock 168—Spring Concert Farewell To Jack Winn “Of Times and Love and Sea- sons” was the theme of this year’s Spring Concert. It was on a serious note and was dedicated to Mr. Winn who was directing the Band and Choirs for the last time. A good-sized crowd was present in the auditorium on May 17th. WHEN IS THE INTERMISSION? | THINK I’M STARTING TO MELT! The crowd was entertained by not just the Band, Mixed Choir, and Girls Choir, but also by two vocal trios, the Ensemble, the Major- ettes, and the String Orchestra directed by Ron Bozarth. The Girls Choir, this year, in addition to singing in both concerts, also went to Festival and received an excellent rating. The members are: Theresa Lolley, Teri Davis, Gayle Osborn, Pam Bebout, Deb- bie Dean, Cathy Arnold, Becky Maxwell, Lynn Lauver, Cathy Gregory, Lori Garst, Donna Has- sell, Vicki Bryant, and Paula Marks. Keep your chin up, Mr. Winn! The Girls Choir sings songs of Spring. Quick, someone turn the page! The Mixed Choir harmonizes sight and sound. Everyone’s love for Mr. Winn shows through.

You guessed it! They're from the production of “You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown” that ran April 25, 26, and 27. The play consisted of excerpts from a day in Charlie Brown's life and many called for singing and dancing. HOORAY FOR IRVING BERLIN! The cast of characters were: Charlie Brown—Gary Hall, GOOD GRIEF; Linus—Ronnie Gunter, MY BLANKET!; Lucy—Leslie Large, YOU BLOCKHEAD!: Schroeder—Rhett Bled- soe, SAUCEPANS! | CAN'T STAND IT!; Patty—Kathleen Graham, RABBIT!; and Snoopy—Paul Baldwin, ARF! The musical showed characters that every- one can identify with. Charlie Brown tries, in vain, to win a baseball game and impress the little red-headed girl. | WONDER WHY SHE NEVER LOOKS AT ME. Linus attempts to outgrow his need for a security blanket. GOT YOU BACK AGAIN. Schroeder tries to keep his sanity around Lucy and Patty shows us that innocence is not dead. Snoopy lives in his imaginary world of ferocious animals and WWI fighter pilots. Lucy finally realizes she likes Charlie Brown and tells him, “You're a good man, Charlie Brown, if only you weren't so wishy-washy!” GOOD GRIEF! It's undemocratic to stop a person from being Queen, Linus. Schroeder has ears only for Beethovan, Lucy. I’ve got you this time, Red Baron! The “family portrait.” Snoopy avoids rabbit hunting with Patty. The Doctor is IN. We'll all call you Sugarlips from now on, Paul! Charlie Brown decides to win the game for the little red-headed girl. Move over Lassie, here comes the fastest supper dish in the west! Amen! Juniors Breath Sigh of Relief Magical May 4 finally arrived, much to the Seniors delight. Couples entered the gym and found themselves in a Night on the Carribean. CARRIBEAN, ISN'T THAT A KIND OF REINDEER? They walked up a wooden bridge that spanned a stream teeming with goldfish and led to a waterfall where each couple was an- nounced by two friendly natives in color- ful costumes. On every horizon, as far as the eye could see, were dark blue seascapes complete with whitecaps and sailboats. Palm trees dotted the island paradise beneath the star-studded streamers of the sky and at the far end of the island was the band, Chess, on a raised pier. IF A BAND MEMBER FALLS OFF THAT PLATFORM HE WILL NEED A BAND-AIDE. The outfits were varied and colorful. I'VE NEVER SEEN A FORMAL JUMPSUIT BEFORE. Halter tops, top hats, and sandals, all joined together and danced to the music of Chess. Prom night comes with its own cer- tain magic that makes everyone look their best. And for the best in tuxedos you should shop Tuxedo Junction. They have the widest selection of colors and sizes around, and their prices are the best too! So get the tux for your function at the Tuxedo Junction, 1807 Staple Mills Road. Sign welcomes couples to the transformed gym. Couples clap for their favorite Senior. Get it on! This native looks friendly enough. Look at the birdie and say, ‘‘Cheese.”’ Dancers take a break and watch the Senior Figure. Prom—179 180—Prom Gym Becomes Island Paradise Occasionally people would leave the mass of tuxedos and gowns to sit in the cool night air of the courtyard, stand in the line to get pictures taken, or to get a drink of punch and a piece of fresh fruit. WATERMELLON ANYONE? Finally the moment that everyone had been waiting for—the much debated Senior Figure and the crowning of the King and Queen of the Prom. The Se- niors who were voted into the figure promanaded as Mr. Search told of each one’s activ ities. And then, the winners were announced: King, Paul Baldwin and Queen, Brenda Barham. A perfect ending of a perfect evening that will be remem- bered for years to come, by both the Juniors and the Seniors. The Prom is one of the most memor- able moments in your life. Another mo- ment is when you receive that beautiful ring or necklace that you have wanted for so long. Jewelry is one of the best gifts to give and Zales is the best place to get jewelry. They have a wide selec- tion of men’s and women’s watches, rings, charms, pins, and hundreds of other things. Zales has the best of every kind of jewelry from A to Z. No fishing from bridge—violators will be drowned. Cecil Goolsby and Betty Jean Compton take advantage of the moonlight. Larry Thacker, Jean Sullivan, Dale Finlay, and Tom Lohner discuss dinner plans. Tables and chairs were available for tired couples. This is what it’s like when you don’t have a date to the Prom! King Paul Baldwin and Queen Brenda Barham start the Senior slowdance. Beauties and the Best (Talent) The auditorium was filled to capacity on March 28 for the Miss Meadowbrook Pageant. Chuck Wolff and Jill Vonder- haar, as master and mistress of cere- monies, introduced the six beauty and two talent judges. HOW COME ALL THE WOMEN JUDGES LOOK ALIKE? The contestants and their escorts were then introduced as they paraded down the aisles and onto the stage, which was set to resemble a garden. | KNOW HOW THEY MADE THE FOUNTAIN WORK... THEY USED ARTIFICIAL WATER! The talent competition started as Rhonda Riggins sang “The Way We Were’ to the girls and their escorts. Then Meadowbrook’s version of the Lettermen (Nim Lawrence, Larry Hall, and Rusty Lindsay) sang “Going Out of My Head.’ Paul Baldwin and Gary Hall did a song and dance comedy routine in which Paul thought he was a dog. The Fence Post Five Plus One brought down the house with their hambone and real country music. The contestants as seen on the oppo- site page are as follows: Karen Vaughan, Kathleen King, Donna Sizemore, Cyn- thia Scott, Lauren Mundy, Trina Hig- gins, Gail Parsons, Dana Ashley, Lisa Barnes, Pat Dardoufas, Carolyn Boutch- yard, Donna Malone, Sherry Clark, and Karen Taylor. Rhonda Riggins’ singing can calm anyone's nerves. Dana Ashley and escort Mark Bland enter through the Miss Meadowbrook arch. Chuck Wolff and Jill Vonderhaar were the master and mistress of ceremonies for the evening's festivities. The capacity crowd waits as the tension mounts. Fourteen of the most beautiful girls in Meadowbrook were the contestants. Tom Jones, eat your heart out! Rusty Lindsay helps to serenade the girls.

Seniors Receive Belated Respect Picnics, bicycles, slaves, and busts sum up the activities of Se- nior Week. Monday and Friday all Seniors were to ride bikes, but few did because of the heat.

Senior Week—191 192—Class Night Class Night: Smooth as a Zipper On May 24, the Senior Class along with their families and friends attended Class Night. It began as the class marched in and Peyton Coleman, as class president, officially welcomed everyone. The program started as Mr. B. turned the tables on sever- al students and “‘told on them”. | HOPE HE DIDN'T FIND OUT ABOUT ME! Then various awards and scholarships were presented. Sashes were given to NHS Mem- bers and honor students received tassels. Finally, the time came for the Senior Play. Students went through a normal school day that started with a Pep Rally and showed every period of the day. IT’S TIME FOR THE CONTINUING STORY OF JULIAN AND “ ee Several teachers were imperson- ated with fascinating results. WHY YES! The play ended with the Senior version of ‘Those Were The Days” and the singing of the Alma Mater. Seniors line up to march into assembly. Ray and Gail give a brief class history. M-0-N-A-R-C-H, Yeah! “Give me a Red! Give me a Neck!” “This is a job for Captain Audio!”’ “Some dumb yo-yo...” “Well Miss Thompson, do you have a pass?” Nancy knows just how Mrs. Smith is!

Early in the morning Seniors showed up in caps and gowns to have their class picture taken and to rehearse. Baccalaure- ate had been held the day before under rainy skies, but this evening brought clear skies as the class marched onto the football field and listened to various speakers, including Richard D. Obenshain and Peyton Coleman. Two scholar- ships were presented and then the choir sang “We've Only Seniors march in as the crowd watches. Seniors and faculty listen to speakers. -Mr. Obenshain and Peyton give rousing speeches. Choir sings to Class of ’74 for the last time. Just Begun’, the Senior Class Motto. Diplomas were pre- sented and the Class of '74 left realizing that they really had only just begun. Have you ever wondered where your cap and gown, graduation stationary, and diplomas came from? Well, Herff Jones has it all for you. So whenever you look at your diploma, think of Herff Jones and you're think- ing of the best. Seniors take their seats on the field. Patti Orfield receives her diploma. Renee Menuet is given the Mac D. Moore Scholarship and Dale Finlay is given the Faculty Scholarship. Seniors turn their tassels and become graduates.

Advertisement—197 Teachers seem to get all types of answers to their ques- tions. The answer Mr. Kane just received seems to have left him in dismay. A good teacher is one who will listen, as well as talk. And as can be seen, Mr. Kane listens quite attentively. When you wrestle, you need constant encouragement; and Coach Kane definitely gives a lot of encouragement to his Grapplers. SCEPTRE Salutes Brian Kane We, the 1974 SCEPTRE Staff, would like to dedicate this yearbook to Mr. Brian Kane. There are many problems to dedicating a yearbook. After working hard for a full year, we wanted to dedicate the ’74 SCEPTRE to a very deserving and hard working person. We chose Brian Kane. Mr. Kane has been with Meadowbrook from the beginning of its existence. He began teach- ing English and Government and has since picked up Humanities. Mr. Kane isn’t just an ordinary teacher, though. Instead of lecturing and expecting you to memorize facts and phra- ses, he teaches you to use your mind—he teaches you to think. Mr. Kane is the type of teacher that wants a student to feel like he has really learned something when he leaves High School. Brian Kane also coaches Wrestling and it is here that his true dedication shows through. When Meadowbrook first opened, there was no Wrestling Team. Coach Kane brought our Grap- plers from nonexistence to club status and fin- ally to Team status. For the last three years, our Grapplers have had winning seasons. We have had many fine Wrestlers, but without Coach Kane, they would never have done it. When it’s time for Wrestling Season, Coach Kane lives, breathes, eats, and sleeps Wrestling, as well as maintain the integ- rity of his classroom. He throws his whole self into coaching our Grapplers. It is his dedication as a coach that boosts our Wrestling Team to continuous wins. And it is for this dedication to the student body that we dedicate the 74 SCEPTRE to Coach Brian Kane. It’s been said that Meadowbrook is full of big eaters and here they are waiting for the pies to appear. Our courtyard is quite popular during the warmer months. Need we say why? Traffic jams occur in the weirdest places, right boys? That’s right, Rebecca, we finally took your picture. No, Graham, we're not going to help you with anymore ‘Naval’ Academy polls! One would think that Beverley would get tired of reading announcements. A lot of different people go to Meadowbrook and with them they bring a lot of different styles of dress. Shoes are no exception and here are a few examples. Who's answering that phone, Justin, you or the computer? Spring means having Phy. Ed. outside. Along with that comes the long trek to and from the football field. Hawkins, why are we building these dollhouses? Usually the only time beauties come out are at the beach, but there are exceptions to every rule, right Coaches Tucker and Butler! Mr. Winn shows appreciation of the gift that Brenda and Dorline gave him from the Band. And you can see why the Band appreciates Mr. Winn so much.

You look at life’s prism, and you wonder... why? Why is learning what our forefathers passed down for many years. So great a bother, That they shed so many Bie Freedom to learn, to listen, without a shadow of a doubt. So you wonder why the glisten, what is it all about? | apa: rise into studies, learn what is passed on. Though tests are kind of muddy, Ripe like a song. Life In a Day yes... he shouted liberty! The afternoon hussle, bussle, “watch out, catch that ball!” Fun, games. Is this what it is? No, that’s not quite all. The evening closeness at the prom with your friends. — In so many ways, : you hate to see it end. Then once on the steps, you look all around. Finally, at last, education you have found. And now on graduation, the fact is made perfectly clear, Why so many did act, and so many shed tears. —Robin Pavey 4 PENG g We, the 1974 SCEPTRE Staff, would like to thank the following people for making our book a success: our advertisers and patrons for their monetary support; Mr. Watson for his guidance and patience; Mr. Bu- chanan for his constant concern and help; Mr. E.G. Butler for putting up with us, especially during dead- lines; Mr. Pennell for his service through our many frustrating days of picture-taking: the students who bought a 74 SCEPTRE and helped us to make it a real- ity; and last but by no means least, we would like to thank Mr. Hamrick for all of the time, work, and devo- tion that he put into our book. He went through a lot of headaches and gave us the confidence we needed to put out a yearbook. We couldn’t have done it with- out him. Spies ae ee SN SS cs SS
