Events that you could participate in freely with no pressure; and besides, they were fun! The first thing everyone looked to at the beginning of school was Homecoming Week. The Parade, the Dance, Spirit Jug, Spirit Chain and last also least, (this year) the Bonfire. Unfortunately, the construction took over the Bonfire sites. Beside that one inconvience it was ever exciting with Anne Carter crowned Homecoming Queen, the Seniors winning the Spirit Chain and Sophomores taking the overall Spirit Jug. Once again the Drama department put out an excellent production of “Rumplestiltskin.” After the play was presented to Meadowbrook students and the public, the cast began giving matinee performances for the elementary schools in the area. These productions have brought the Drama department out of debt and into Some much needed revenue. Being as successful as they were, Ms. Barth, Mr. Benns plan to do the same in coming years. College night (annual event) brough many higher learning establishments and their representatives into Meadowbrook. The chance to visit with three colleges of your choice helped many in their decisions of where to apply. The Christmas Concert, given by the Choral and band groups, were well put together and choreographed as usual. Directed by Mr. Benns and Mr. Minnigh, each number had a special flair with Christmas spirit. The arrival of Santa added that “special touch,” “Merry Christmas to alle The Senior class, wanting very much to get, once again, into the lime light, put on the first annual Meadowbrook Gong Show! Using student and faculty talent made it all the more fun. Owww! A night that is always highly attended is the Miss Meadowbrook Pageant. The SCA made the stage decorations and Stage Band supplied the music for the magical crowning of Miss Meadowbrook 1978. The night that Juniors dread, till it came, and Seniors looked to as “The Point of No Return” was the Jr., Sr. Prom. Decorations, as usual, weren’t finished till the last minute but everything came off fine and a good time was had by all who attended. The drama department spring production was the musical ‘‘Camelot.” The singing was good and talent unlimited. There may be “‘stars”’ in the futures of Meadowbrook graduates. These were the memories of the year “78.” May they always be remembered. SEPCIAL EVENTS Enthusias and a creative endeavor by Pam Duncan and Carl Kersey are what made happenings more exciting and worth participating in. Santa and the Misses bring in the “3 Christmas Cheer by singing , at the Christmas Concert. 10 Smiling happily, Anne Carter receives the homecoming crown from Mr. Buchanan. Waving to the crowd, Debbie Baker takes her place as a senior princess. Cheering at the homecoming pep rally, Lisa Creel and Carolyn Collins raise the spirit of the sophomore class. Spirit week opened with a quiet bang. Because of the construction around school, two of the traditional events were not planned. A bonfire was not built and dummies were not | constructed by the classes. Other | events, class colors day, school | colors day, and the pep rally were at _ the end of the week. The competition between the classes ended at the outdoor pep _ rally with the sophomores winning the class colors day, school colors | day, and the pep rally of the week. The seniors received second place and the juniors came in third. Homecoming parade opened with radiant floats and faces. The seniors won their float category with ‘‘Hang It Up, Confederates’’. The Drill team won in the club category. Class princesses were presented at halftime, and they were Tamara Privitera, Paula Allen, sophomores; Lora Lenhart, Sherry Ruckart, Beth King, juniors; Debbie Baker, Cathy Carden, Donna Conner, Anne Carter, Tammy Bell, seniors. At halftime, the announcement of homecoming queen was made. queen. camera. Anne Carter was named Homecoming queen, and Tammy Bell was named maid of honor. The Homecoming Dance was held the following Saturday night. The cheerleaders worked after school every day to bring to life the theme ‘ ‘We May Never Pass This Way Again’’. A boat was in the one corner of the gym and a swing of flowers in the other. Lyrics from the song decorated one wall of the gym. Music was provided by M. F. Rattlesnake as the dancers danced away another memory of the year. After talking to the crowd, Kathy King returned to crown the new homecoming Ho lding up her sign, Cathy Miller helps the crowd to shout the players’ names. Marching proudly, Gary Jones leads the homecoming parade. In a moment of craziness, Pam Duncan and Dr. Strange (Carl Kersey) pose for the Promoting school spirit, the varsity cheerleaders cheer their hardest at the homecoming pep rallies. 12 “A SELLOUT | CROWD”’ Tying for first place, the Meadowbrook Marching Monarchs Men’s Musical Choir sing ‘‘Barbara Ann.”’ Wearing boats, Laura Anderson, Kim Owens and Darlene Woodward dance to “‘Rock the Boat.’’ Warming up for the stage, SSIK, a punk rock group, practice ‘‘punking.”’ Showing his talent, Johnny Atkinson sings and plays the piano. Playing to a standing room only crowd in the auditorium, the _ Gong Show,”’ sponsored by the senior class, was a roaring success. Emcee by Timmy Pearrell, the show had acts ranging from serious to outrageous talents such as’ _ dancing, singing and comedy were | performed. An appearance was also made by Gene-Gene, the Dancing Machine (Richard Grantham). A tie for first place was broken by the judges’ decision. Brad Tucker and Dale Payne won over the Meadowbrook Marching Men’s Musical Choir. Brad and Dale played guitars and sang ‘‘Scarborough Fair.’’ The Men’s Musical Choir sang ““Barbara Ann.”’ The prize for the most outrageious act went to the punk rock group, SSIK. Brad and Dale won a cash prize of $53.16, and SSIK won $16.36. SSIK’s money went to pay for broken drumheads. The money raised by the senior class provided caps and gowns for teachers to wear at graduation. Dancing to ‘‘Lay Down, Sally,’’ Doug Russell lifts his skirts for a ‘‘sneak peek.’’ Judging the Gong Show was hard for the three judges from local radio stations. Presenting the style that won them “‘The most outrageous Act,’’ SSIK performs for the audience. Showing that backstage was as crazy as on stage are John Osterhout, Kim Owen, Johnny Atkinson, Laura Anderson, Darlene Woodward and Hank Branch. Performing the song ‘‘After the Gold Rush,”’ Loran Byers, Malinda Henderson, Alison Kirke, and Vicki Guffey entertain the crowd. Practicing their dance, the Disco 4 are caught in the act. 13 14 ‘‘1T BRUISES”’ Posing for the camera, Rumpelstiltskin (Ron Callaway) gets his picture taken for the RICHMOND NEWS LEADER. Pleading with the guards, the miller’s daughter tries to prevent the prince (Brad Tucker) from being put in the dungeon. Giving her flowers to Rumpelstiltskin, the miller’s daughter (Lisa Green) persuades him to spin straw into gold. Kneeling by her spinning wheel, the miller’s daughter also has her picture taken for the newspaper. “It bruises!’’ commented Ron Calloway, when asked about his part in the play ‘‘Rumpelstiltskin’’. This fall production was of special interest to elementary school children who came to matinees during school hours. Presenting a children’s play posed a few problems for the cast. Some of the lines were left out for being too violent for young audiences. All costumes were made by the crew headed by Darlene Woodward. The backstage crew worked as hard as the actors to control lights, sound effects and curtains on cue. Miss Priscilla Barth directed this play. Rumpelstiltskin’’ also had extra publicity when a photographer from the Richmond Newsleader took a picture of the cast. It appeared on the front page of the ‘‘Young Virginians’’ section. Playfully tugging on the rabbit’s ears (Linda Baldwin) the children get a close-up view of an actor. Worrying about their daughter’s fate the miller and his wife clasp hands for strength. Fighting the prince, the guards take him to the dungeon. Dr. Sullins, Superintendant of schools, dicusses the play with Miss Barth. Dressed as a rabbit, Linda Baldwin narrates the play. 16 COLLEGE IGHT Helping parents find their way, members of the Key Club and Keyettes, Doug Russell and Diane Lilly, pause for a minute to rest. Studying the pamphlets, Karen Tatum talks with the dean to decide which college she likes. Mark Morrell, his mother, Phil Coggins and Mark Kelly decide which college they should visit first before the program starts. College Night provided an opportunity for area high school students and their parents to discover more about the colleges they wanted to attend. Schools involved were Manchester, Midlothian, Thomas Dale, Prince George, Clover Hill, Matoaca and Powhatan. Many out-of-state colleges were represented as well as state colleges. Catalogues and pamphlets were given to participants to study the colleges further. The Key Club and the Keyettes helped by handing out programs and showing visitors to rooms. College Night was coordinated by William Sin dlinger, senior guidance counselor. 17 IN A MANGER SMASHING ay ae ce in Directing the band, Mr. Minnigh leads them through a Christmas song. Mr. Binns leads the combined choirs through a Carol. Dressed as Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus, Kathy Fields and Johnny Atkinson sing their solo, “Mr. and Mrs. S. Claus.”’ Presenting Mr. Binns a present.

Everybody seemed to enjoy that. A lot of people stopped and listened to us.”’ Mixed Choir and Ensemble joined together for two novelty songs ‘‘Fruitcake’’ and ‘‘We Wish Youa Merry Christmas’’. Kathy Fields and John Atkinson were the stars of the song, ‘‘Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus’’. Kathy commented; with a smile, “ l was very nervous. | was afraid we’d get stuck in the sleigh. It was only made for one person!”’ After a brief intermission, the Concert Band continued the festivities by playing some more familiar carols. The Majorettes performed a routine to ‘‘Frosty the Snowman’’. Kissing after the song, Mr. Mrs. Santa Claus spread the joy of Christmas. Joining together, mixed choir and ensemble sing Christmas carols. Riding in their sleigh, Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus appear on stage. Directing the band, Mr. Minnigh conducts them through a difficult passage. Glowing with Christmas cheer, Gaye Weaver, Jan Pierce, Kathy Fields, Alison Kirke, Melinda Henderson, and Vickie Guffy sing a carol. 19 20 ‘“YOU LIGHT UP MY LIFE’’ Smiling for the judges, Lisa Gravitte takes the final walk before the decision. Tammy Bell is crowned Miss Congeniality, and Lora Lenhart is first runner-up. Lisa Gravitte is crowned Miss Meadowbrook. For her talent, Lora Lenhart plays the piano.

Knighted by King Arthur (Johnny Atkinson), Lancelot (Mark Winecoff) is rewarded for his pureness. Days of Chivalry and King Arthur were brought to the students with the musical ‘‘Camelot.’’ The drama department’s first attempt at a | musical was a huge success. Under the direction of Miss | Priscilla Barth and Mr. Earl Binns, | the cast developed an excellent play. Juniors and sophomores dominated the cast. so several new faces were seen. Kathy Fields, a junior, played Guenevere, and Mark Winecoff, also a junior, played Lancelot. Two sophomores had major roles: Jerry Dagenhart, as Pellinore, and Dean Driyer, as Mordred. Behind the scenes, alot of work was done. The crew worked after director, waits for his cues. fallen in love with each other. their well-deserved bows. his illegitimate son. giving her chocolates. Mordred coaxes Morgan LeFey (Wendy Rosen) to help him with his evil plans by school and Saturdays to get the set and props together. The orchestra and pianist, Beth Harris, also put in alot of time. Much time and effort were put into a fine production. “‘Yes, yes, yes!’’ replied Miss Barth when asked if she’d do another. ‘‘It was tons of work, but totally worth it.’’ Behind the scenes, John Osterhout, lighting Lancelot and Guenevere (Kathy Fields) have After a brilliant performance, the cast takes Mordred (Dean Driver) tells Arthur that he is 25 ‘‘NIGHTS ON BROADWAY”’ Diane Lilly and Shannon Futch Put finishing touches on their signs.

Debbie Dorsey was one of the spring voices heard. The ensemble waits for the next song. 31 ATHLETIC FACILITIES EXPANDED As the saying goes “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” So after completing all the academic subjects for the day, you will find many students following this philosophy. These are the ones you find running track, hitting heads on the football field or shooting baskets in the gym. Not far behind these athletes are coaches insisting that they practice, practice, practice. With all the practice going on, it is not surprising that several of our teams ended their seasons successfully. Every Friday night, during the Fall, many supporters and students gathered watching the number one sport in America—Football. What some people don’t know is that on two other nights of the week the Girl’s Basketball Team is playing. This years team was led mostly by Seniors, although, because there was no JayVee team there were also a good member of sophomores. These girls seemed to work well together ending their season (12-4). Field Hockey, another fall sport, had a very good season. Even though they got anew coach this year, they proved that nothing could slow them down. Being a relatively new sport at Meadowbrook, no one really expected them to do well but they came in 2nd in the district. The Winter brings us two prominent indoor 32 sports—Boy’s Basketball and Wrestling. These two seem to get a large amount of attention from the students; probably contributing to their SUCCESS. In mid-February, while it’s still cold outside, the spring sports are beginning practice. Spring seems to be the best season for sports at Meadowbrook, the reason being that it’s near the end of school, which gives everyone a new outlook. With the convenient standbys such as, Baseball, Softball and Track, we have what used to be Known as the “Elite” sport—tennis. This year we adapted a new aspect by beginning a Girl’s tennis team. Along with the new team there came new tennis courts. The baseball field gave way to the courts and was moved a short distance away. Meadowbrook has always exceled in golf, and with the coaching of Mr. Porter 78’ was no exception. It is a game of coordination and patience. The rewards of winning are especially satisfying as competition is individual as well as with a team. Sports was an aspect of life at Meadowbrook that many enjoyed. Building the mind physically as well as mentally are all parts of a well rounded education. With the added facilities the Atheletic programs have expanded for the benefit of students, present and future. Denise Snader (voted most valuable player) goest up in ajump shot. Girl's Basketball was one of the many sports that excelled at Meadowbrook. What'd you say about field hockey? Is the quizzical expression on the face of Kentley Benson Dean. 34 Long before students began thinking about school, there was one group of students who were at school at 7:45 lining up on the football field ready to go. These students were the football players; the “Mighty Monarchs’ were getting ready for another season. They worked out from 7:45 to 10:45, with a half-hour break in the middle, for the first five days of practice in early August. Then, after they went into pads, they practiced two hours in the morning and two in the afternoon. On Saturdays they rana mile to work out the soreness from Friday night, then watched movies of the previous night’s game. Along with some new players, there were four other new faces to be seen with the team. Lisa Green, Terry Bingham, Michele Smith, and Vicki Guffy were the team’s managers. All of them were new to the job and, when asked what it was like, Terry said, “At first we didn’t like it because we didn’t know what to do. But after we learned and got used to it, it was great.” Their many jobs included taking care of equipment, administering first aid, taking water to the team on the field, cleaning the field house, washing towels, and running errands for both the players and Coach Rowe. Coach Rowe shows that the summer heat gets to everyone as he takes a water break during practice. Practice means a lot of vigorous running and hard work for the team.

Before the game begins, the team practices passing and catching. Anunsuspecting Robert Orfield is brought. down by an opponent As fans cheer them on, the Mighty Monarchs break through a banner held by the cheerleaders and run onto the field. A DISAPPOINTMENT” As in the past, the season began with a game against Henrico, but without the rain. The Monarchs seemed ready, but left with a loss of O to 28. They made a comeback and won the next 3 games but couldn’t seem to hold onto that streak. They won only 1 other game in the season and ended with a record of 4 wins, 6 losses. When asked how he and the team felt about the season, Coach Rowe replied, “It was a disappointment to us all. We just couldn’t seem to reach our potential.” Defense, led by linebacker George Dardoufas and defensive halfback Steve Burton, was the team’s strong point. Steve led in rushing with 551 yards and was chosen for the all- District and all-Regional teams. He was also awarded most valuable player. Coach Rowe said, “Il enjoy working with these kids and I’m looking forward to getting ready for next season.” With possession of the ball, the Monarchs begin another play. As they walk off the field, Coach Rowe and Scott Wilson give Steve Burton some advice for the next play. Opposing players run toward Steve Burton as he catches a pass from a teammate. oi 38 Helping to promote spirit and good sportsmanship throughout the school year is one of the many aspects of being a cheerleader. Some of the activities sponsored by the cheerleaders; include pep rallies, Homecoming parade and half-time activities, Homecoming dance, bake-sales and car-washes. The cheerleaders were chosen in the spring before a committee of students, faculty and past cheerleaders. They performed cheers, jumps and stunts which they had been practicing the preceeding week. Cheerleading is a ‘““CHANGED” activity. It has become more specialized and exact. The cheerleader is a performer and entertainer as well as a spirit leader. The J.V. and Varsity have done a good job in these requirements. “The school spirit of the 77-78 student body has been terrific,” says Ms. George, the Varsity cheerleading sponsor. “Many thanks to the group of students who supported their teams and really got the student body ‘Fired Up’. At the last game of the season, the J.V. cheerleaders cheer the team on with much enthusiasm. “Fight, Fight, Fight” was a cry often heard on the football field by the Varsity cheerleaders. Pat Finn is surprised here by a photographer. “FIRED OPS Performing a mount at a J.V. basketball game is displayed here by the J.V. cheerleaders. At the Homecoming pep rally, Cathy Miller gives recognition to Mark Roberts. While cheering, Brenda Barnes gives a big smile. IN THE - BEAT ° Hoping the fire on your baton would . Stay lit, or your hoop baton wouldn't roll down the football field were a few worries of the majorettes. With the help of sponsors Mrs. Adams, and Miss Cole, the majorettes got through this, and even competitions which were held in the spring. The drill team made a ‘‘Mighty Monarch” showing and received second place in statewide competition for a second year straight.

Before perfecting a difficult step, Debbie Lindsey shows great concentration. At an afternoon practice, Chris Crump waits patiently before he begins to play. “This was the best group of girls I’ve ever worked with. They weren't just individual players, but a group that worked together,’ commented Coach Lee about the girls’ basketball team. fi Under the supervision and guidance of Coach Lee and the overwhelming support of the fans, the Lady Monarchs had a successful season, winning second place in the district. “We weren't expecting it; we have no complaints about being second,” said Coach Lee. The season began with a 60-37 win over Thomas Dale, and this inspired the girls to strive to be no. 1. The Lady Monarchs were enthusiastic and won the next five games, with both offense and defense as their strong points. Nearing the end of the season, they ; were tied with Dinwiddie for 1st place § in the district; however, after an overtime in the deciding game, Dinwiddie went away with a 53-46 victory and 1st place, leaving the Lady Monarchs in 2nd place. The overall record for the year was 13wins, 6 losses. Support from the students was overwhelming and gave the Lady Monarchs incentive to win. The starting lineup gets cheered on by their teammates on the bench. Intense on the game, Patty O’Brien, Rick Morrisett, Caroline Collins watch as the Lady Monarchs make their way to another victory. Before an opponent can get the ball, Kay Marshall catches a pass from a teammate. 42 MEADOWBROOK MEADOWBROOK MEADOWBROOK MEADOW BROOK MEADOWBROOK MEADOWBROOK Meadowbrook MEADOWBROOK Meadowbrook Meadowbrook MEADOWBROOK MEADOWBROOK MEADOWBROOK Meadowbrook MEADOWBROOK Meadowbrook MEADOWBROOK MEADOWBROOK Meadowbrook Thomas Dale Manchester Prince George Petersburg Colonial Heights Hopewell DINWIDDIE Midlothian HENRICO THOMAS DALE Manchester Prince George Petersburg COLONIAL HEIGHTS.

Students packed a side of the gym at home games and often filled a special pep bus, driven by Coach Tucker, to away games. The managers were also a great help. Lisa Bailey, Mike Wright, and Tammy Dyson did odd jobs from filling water jugs to sweeping the gym floor. Coach Butler was a sepcial help to the team, too. He helped keep the fan support and the team’s excitement going and was an overall aid to the girls. Denise Snader was voted most valuable player and Gia Owens was chosen for the all-tournament team. The co-captains of the team were Kay Marshall and Cindy Kelly. Cindy also scored the most points for the season with 246 Girls’ Basketball Has Arrived!

This was the delemma of the Lady Monarchs Field Hockey Team. With the new construction going on, the girls had no field and were froced to play all of their games away. This was not the teams only problem. When the season began, there was no coach for them. But, finally a phys. ed. teacher from A.M. Davis, Loraine Wilkinson, took the job. She worked hard with the girls and with the help of managers Braxton Wallace and John Dimeo, they became 2nd in the district. They ended their season with a record of 5 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie. Debbie S tuart was voted most valuable player and Lisa Gravitte was chosen for the Tidewater All Star Team. In the words of Coach Wilkinson, “the Hockey Team has So little in the beginning and by the end of the season, they had so much; new friends, memorable times, and many wins.” As Lisa Gravitte looks on, Andrea Simmons and Cindy eard begin the game. Before facing the opposing team, the players huddle for some encouraging words from their coach. At ari afternoon practice, Kentley Dean and Beth Martin battle for possesion of the ball.

A wide variety of clubs and organizations offered membership to the students of MBK. Service groups such as Key Club, Keyettes, Hi-Y and Tri-Hi-Y, sent out applications at the first of the year. Honorary societies such as Math, Science, History, Honor Society and Quill and Scroll inducted their members with invitations or tapping ceremonies. These people were chosen on the basis of merit in their respective area of interest. School support groups such as the marching band, Majorettes, Monarettes, Drill Team and cheerleaders were chosen at tryouts held in the spring of the preceding school year. They performed at school functions and sports events to keep up student participation. General interest clubs such as Chess, Forensics, Debate, Language, F.H.A. and F.B.L.A. help their members to further individual interest in those areas. Language club held Language week to further interest in 64 electives. F.H.A. put on Mr. B’s Luncheon. F.B.L.A. goes along with the business classes to enhance the business ethics of the students. These clubs are open to any student with the interest to put in the required work and effort. Offering ways to extend in-and-outside of school; the clubs and organizations were well organized with supportive sponsors. Two of the best examples are DECA who sponsor many contests to send students in the categories of interviews, job training and general business techniques, and the SCA who work for the student body asa whole. Being a club for the students the SCA is always planning something to boost student involvement, besides building the homecoming float for the queen, putting on Miss Meadowbrook and throwing Christmas and Valentine parties, they held Thursday activities and were always busy. Clubs and Organizations should always play a major part in the aspect of furthering interest and enthusiasm in academics.

Todd Morse, a club member, said ‘‘We should win the UCF State High School Championship.’’ Like the Chess Club the Library Club members have to prepare and research. Library assistants get one credit for working a year. They are expected to do reference work sheets and then be tested. Club members learn to appreciate the library and have a different contact with students. ‘‘The club members act as a liaison between the students and the library,’’ said Mrs. Browder.

A few kids from ‘‘Up With People’’ show students a new creative program. The SCA better known for its Thursday activities, is a club that involves not just one or two members, but the whole student body. The SCA is composed of 5 officers and two houses; the Senate and the house of Representatives. This year’s SCA followed in the footsteps of last years SCA by continuing many worthwhile projects. A few examples are building a Homecoming float, sponsoring Miss Meadowbrook, the energy program (Pulse), raising money for Toney Lineberry Teacher of the Week. Not only did this club help its student body but it entertained it as well. Thursday activities included Brad and Dale, Up with People, the Spelling Bee, and Meadowbrooks own Jazz band. This year’s SCA deserves a “‘big hand’’ for its involvement and dedication to please the student body. “‘Queen Bee,’’ Carol Farrand won the Spelling Bee not only in MHS but also at the C hesterfield Competition. Evie Maxom, George Dardoufas and Robbie Menuet, wait for their last remaining senior partner to defeat the Juniors and Sophomores. OO OOOO oye 75 Future Homemakers of America worked diligently at just that. Using old-fashioned know-how and common sense, plus today’s new- fangled equipment to cook, bake, sew, create and clean in just about every aspect of house-hold up-keep. Some people may think that house workers are stereotyped. This is not so. Students in FHA study the changing ways in American society to adapt the ever changing rolls of housewives today. Cooperative Office Education tries to make available to the students in this program jobs to go along with their classes. They get classroom business procedure and on-the-job training. This program provides stu- dents with experience that they will need in their futures. When asked what she thought about the COE program Ms. Avery said, ‘‘It is a very good program. . . one of the best!”’ and that says it all. Mr. Ramney was helping himself to a piece of cake at a DECA Banquet. Members of DECA decided to put up their clubs name.

They had a float in the Homecoming parade on which they worked hard and were extremely proud. These students are self- satisfied with their club and the large number they boast is one example why. The Distributive Education Cooperative Association works with students to piace them in a working environment that suits their needs and interest. In the classroom they go to work part of the day in the field of their interest. DECA members learn interview procedures and ways to help themselves get better jobs. The students who are in D.E. are usually affiliated with DECA and they run the school store which is a great asset to the student body. During a FHA meeting a marine talks about his job.

People who are seriously inter- ested in Drama are usually members of the Thespian Troupe. If you work on stage productions and accumula- ted enough hours then you can become a member of the Thespians. They work hard so that they can further their education in drama and also further the theatrical presenta- tions at MHS. All members can be found working on productions or on stage work and background scenery. Ms. Barth and Mr. Benns are the two main and very dedicated workers behind this group of enthusiastic students. Two main performances this year were Ruplestilskin and Camelot. While the young were cap- tured in the performance Ruplestil- skin, the old enjoyed the per- formance Camelot. These students should be proud of leaving this year with such professional plays. Mr. Search said ‘‘In all of the drama programs produced throughout MHS, Camelot was the most excel- lent performance done here. Like actors, the drill team must perform in front of an audience. They have been known to be in MHS’s football half-times and at Festivals. This year’s activities in- cluded their performances in the peanut Parade and Oyster festival. The members worked hard with the Marching band which made each performance interesting and exciting. At the end of the year, they were trying to earn money through money raising projects so that they could have new uniforms for next year. } j Drill Team: First row-Kathy Flelds-Platoon Leader, and Kathy Snow.

Many students decided to sign up for a fourth period study hall so that they could work on their school book and get it published. During the summer of 1977, the Editors were chosen and the theme of the 1978 book was discussed. Some students went to a summer workshop to learn the basics of layout and design, photography, finance, and copy writing. When fall came members were running about selling ads, putting together ‘‘Dollar Day’’, a slide show presentation, and selling tickets to ‘‘Fire-Fall’’, a rock concert, so that they might raise money for the Sceptre. Now it was time to settle down and work on layout designs, headlines, pictures, captions and copy. The staff was young and unexperienced, but through their dedication and willingness to work after school, they met their last deadline on June 9th. Working on the yearbook is hard work and involves dedication, character and involvement from each student.. Mr. Joseph Hamrick..... Advisor Suzy Haley ........ Editor-in-Chief Robin Coffman......

Furthermore, they try to reach the young as well as the old. For these people are the foundation of our society. Tri-Hi-Y set the pace for helping their community by giving Thanksgiving baskets to needy citizens, donating $50 to the sponsored a party for the retarded children in October. To raise money for their projects they had bake sales, Pen sales and Car washes. The club affiliated with the Tri-Hi-Y is the Hi-Y. They raised money by cutting wood, in the fall. This club is better known as a social club which enjoyed themselves throughout the year. A good example of this is their basketball games played in wheelchairs. The Keyettes are a determined group that helped their school as well as the community. They gave Christmas stockings to crippled chilcren and collected toys for tots. They helped their school by selling wrestling programs. The club associated with the Keyettes is the Key Club. This nationaly renound club deals with problems in society and in school. The Key Club gave $100 to Coach Kane to finance News Week. They also park cars at football games and cleaned Meadowbrook plaza. These clubs left an imprint on society.

There are five girls who are committed to the Honor Guard. Most of their time is spent in practicing and traveling to performances and competitions. Eliane Elliot said, “This school should be proud of the Honor Guard but they act as if it were a disgrace.”’ The team currently holds six national drill team titles, fou rteen regional drill team titles, eleven regional color guard titles, eighteen individual drill awards, and three two man competition awards won at Villanova University. On May 20, 1978, the Legionnaire Honor Guard will have performed for the last time for Congressional dignitaries in Washington D.C.

At Meadowbrook basic school work had top priority over all other activities. Because of this, we had been able to maintain the high academic standard MBK had a reputation for. As asophomore, courses required for graduation were: English, World Geography or World History; if you had already taken Earth Science and Math 9, you were free to choose from a wide variety of electives; four languages, Journalism, Drama, a selection of fine art classes, band classes, music, Business, Homemaking and Industrial Art classes. Students with a specific career in mind attended Chesterfield Technical Center for half the day. Juniors had only two required courses: English 11 and U.S. History; however if you excelled in History you could take advanced history (A. P. History) taught by Julian Porter, head of the Social Studies Department. The same electives were offered but now that you were a junior you could 88 also take creative writing, Humanities, Computer Programming, Photography, Sociology and Practical Law. Classroom atmosphere was more relaxed, with more emphasis on sel f- study programs. All high school years were great; but there was just something about being a senior that made the past eleven years worth while. You were only required to take Enlish 12 and U.S. Government if you had enough credits to graduate. Many people did just that and got out after second or third period to work or go home. A few more electives were added; advanced Biological Science, Physics, Consumer, Homemaking, Library Science and Social Consumer Education. If you received an AorB average you were exempted from taking your exams. This tended to make seniors Strive for better marks to enjoy three days of Leisure. In some ways Academics was the best part of school. With the help of guidance counselors and administration you were hand fitted to the courses that best fit your goals in life. ” O = LL x O � s Academic standards are kept high by the dedication of teachers and faculty Teachers think they have all the Fun! (MS. Barth) MAJOR CHANGES The beginning of construction brought about some major changes in the library. One wall was removed to make room for more books and two conference rooms. The conference rooms gave students space for group study and discussion without disturbing other students who wanted to just sit back and relax with a magazine. The librarians, Ms. Browder or Mrs. Beard, were always around to help answer questions. Mr. Jurgens was helptul with problems concerning audio-visual equipment. The library was the ideal place for talking to friends, reading magazines, or just doing some last-minute homework. Activity in the library comes to a complete halt while carpet is being installed. Mr. Jurgens helps Mark Lohner locate some information fora paper. Mrs. Browder and Kim Doty design a box for newspaper articles on Virginia Government. From the large selection of books, Buddy Yager looks for one that would interest him. The library offers relaxation in the lounge or tables where groups gather together to socialize. 91 During class participation, John Smith works some math problems on the board. Mr. Taylor works diligently to straighten up his desk before math class. Math teachers: Mr. Taylor, Mrs. Wyatt, Mrs. Wells, Mrs: George, Mrs. Rogers. id CALCULATIONS ee The math coures offered at Meadowbrook ranged from just basic Math to complexities such as calculus and math analysis. If you liked calculators, figures, computers that played games and teachers serious about their subject, then you definetely enjoyed your arithematic. A math club was available to anyone with the interest and the time. The math department gave math placement-achievement test. Many of our math-minded students excelled for these reasons. With such dedication and interest Meadow- brook has one of the best math programs in the county. Students take time away from math class to listen to some interesting conversation. Being distracted by an audience, Sharon Brumfield takes a break from a calculus program. 93 Other than the regular basic science, Chemistry and biology classes were offered. A class in the form of everyday science was one of interest. Students studied vitamin C content in juices and tested the strength of threads, etc. There was an advanced Physics class which studied organic chemistry and astronomy. They did independent studies and took turns teaching the class. A program was offered to seniors who were college bound. The class consisted of lectures and a minimum of six hours per week in laboratories at MCV dealing with medical and biological research. Instruction Is given by Mrs. Madison on the correct use of the buret. Science teachers: Mr. Tucker, Mr. Straub, Mr. Search, Mrs. Deacon, Mr. Madison, Mrs. Goehie.

In between classes, Mrs. Goehle spends some time grading papers. 95 During a little spare time, Mr. Porter glances over some history papers. Miss Mclain displays her knowledge of the map in aclass discussion. History teachers: Mr. Kain, Mr. Porter, Mr. Leslie, Miss Lunze, Mr. Walker, Miss Peters. LOOKING BACK Back into the future?.. . Learning from man’s trials and tribu- lations, accomplishments, and failures. All this and much more is expressed to classes offering social studies course. Students travel through time, space and even some of their teacher’s school days. Learning from man’s mistakes often gives a clearer picture for future goals and values. Yes, the History Department at MHS has a vital role in rounding out the educa- tion of their students. Unlike the U.S.S.R. where social studies are not taught, the U.S. has an open program where all the world’s governing systems may be taught. This is the way we show the reasons of free enterprise which have worked for over 200 years. Deep In thought, Rusty McDowell studies for a test. While sorting through some papers, Monica Coe is surprised by a photographer. History students in Miss Mclain’s class listen to a test review and take some last minute notes. Semel econo = = eee i sonmtrnencoaniceeaeeeRe 97 Working a computer might seem like fun, but would you like to make a career out of it? The DE department can help you make your choice of a career and train you for it. Students who have jobs can get out after fourth period and go straight to work. The students taking DE usually get two credits, one for classroom work, the other for their after school. These classes can be an immense step toward a better life ahead. A display of fashion is one of the projects by Deca. Mike Booze takes a break in French class to read a French magazine. Punch was also served at the Foreign Language Banquet. The school store was sponsored and run by Deca. 98 The foreign language classes included; Spanish, Latin, French and German. Student learned to read write, speak and count in their respective choice. These classes were always interesting and demanded your full attention. They made you wonder about the people whose language you were learning. Teachers complied with these interests by also teaching the ways, customs, origins and social aspects of each language. When you reached your 3rd and 4th years, you began reading the country’s classics and reliving their history. Taking a language gave you a look at a life other than your own, thus widening your perspective of life in another country, and being more thankful for your own! Nes es pas? DECA. . . COMPRENDE?

Mrs. Davidson looks over the wide variety of food bought by the Language club. 99 100 To help gain in-depth knowledge of Enigish literature and grammar techniques, all students were required to take an English course. Speeches, book reports, and term papers were assigned to the dismay of the students. Most courses emphasized these areas, but occasionally special things were planned. Jim Beall, a poet, spent four days working with English students on poetry. He read examples of his own work, and enforced writing skills. A variety of English courses were offered. Advanced Placement English was an accelerated class which concentrated on interpreting literature and practicing writing skills. If students participating in this course score high enough on the spring exam, they will receive college credit. Journalism, an elective, was also offered. This class emphasized writing techniques along with learning the history of newspapers and magazines. Creative Writing was another elective which was combined with the journalism class. Trying to find the exact words for his paper, Tracy Adams concentrates on his work. Billy Loving and Holly Hoffman discuss an English assignment. On her knees to draw a picture, Sharon Enstminger is watched by Randy Wise. VARIETY Collecting money for book fees is one additional job for Mr. Rooney and Miss Ford.

The Business Department is extensive and conditions have improved even more with the move to the new building. Taking a steno-block meant two periods of Typing, Dictation and short-hand. There were also one- period typing classes, accounting, general business and a variety of others that prepared graduates to go to work after school Surprised by a by-stander, Denise Snader looks away from her typing.

' eset eee a e.. he boys gym classes also played basketball. ii The expanded athletic facilities have helped greatly in the variety of opportunities now offered in P.E. They went bike-riding, bowling and swimming. Is it any wonder classes are full, even after the required 10th grade, and there is always a group of students gathered in the gym. Competition, fellowship and working together were some of the valuable lessons learned and taught. Some people question the mandatory requirements through 10th grade, but the argument is one-way on the favorable side. Our country needs more physically minded citizens and this is an education in itself. “ Sally, what did you get in Math, English and History?’’ asks mother. ‘““C’s mostly,: replies Sally, ‘‘but IgotanA-inP.E.,.... And so it goes. Physical Education class is usually a favorite. Although strenuous exercise, health and driver education classes are part of it, the basketball, volleyball, tennis, gymnastics and many other sports and activities more than made up for the work. Miss Cole talks to her class during tennis. SEXES) Eee Gym teachers: Mr. Tucker, Mrs. Lee, Mr. Butler, and Ms. Cole. WOO0D-WORK Board, footages, joints, wood fittings and cutting are only some of the useful things that are taught in Industrial Arts classes. Although these classes are usually all male, there have been a few females interested enough to cut, saw, design and construct. They turn out tables, chairs, gun- racks and chess boards. It’s fun and hard work plus you have something you made with your own hands and imagination, to take home. A student works diligently to shape the wood. Mike Ramkey makes a blueprint of his drawing.

It was more than just cooking and sewing. What was? Home Economics. Home Ec. was offered on four levels, with each level being alittle more advanced in studies. In all four years some time was spent on cooking and sewing but in no way was that all. Home Ec. | also covered consumer economics which dealt with the values ‘and goals a student had for life. Home Ec. Il, was concerned more with home nursing and interior decorating. Home Ec. Ill, went deeper into the consumer economics. This included marriage preparation, total meal preparation and home furnishings. Home Ec. IV was a special year which offered a special course on cake decorating. They also discussed food nutrition, parenthood and divorce. Thanks went to this class for preparing the food for “Mr. B” luncheon. When the students talked about china or nutrition, field trips were scheduled to Thalhimers and to different grocery stores. This allowed the students to compare prices and the nutritive value of foods. So with all these interesting subjects, students never became bored with Home Ec.

With the dedication of Earl Binns and the support of many interested students they under- stand the whys and hows of composition. This same concept is carried out in The Band. Talk about over- whelming enthusiasm and interest, The Band definitely had it. Not only did they play in class but they got together outside of school to perform for different events.

From lost lunch money to collecting hundreds of dollars coming in for school fees, the staff in the office have quite a job. Sure they have studen helpers for the leg-work but the master minds behind the operation sit behind desks, contemplating book- work, irate mothers, harrled teachers and aconstantly ringing phone. They are a very necessary part of school operations. Without their orgainization and willingness to help, many problems would arise without solutions. ‘ You say you haven’t paid your fees yet!?”’ 114 Assistant Principal, Mr. Thomas makes constant use of the telephone to perform his job completely.

Each class is unique, with different people, ideas, spirit and motives. You can tell them apart by the faces; or can you? With few exceptions, you could pull any under- classman, and put that person in a group of seniors and juniors with- out them looking out of place. The differences lie in attitude, English and gym classes. The sophomore class of ’80 came meekly into Meadowbrook and ended the year in aroar typical of Monarchs. It took them very little time to adjust to amore hecticpace and to get involved in activities. They brought with them amore dressy style in clothes and a maturity unsurpassed by previous sophomore classes. The junior class of ’79 was definitely ready for school in August, but as the year progressed the became caught up in the middle class apathy. However, they soon overcame it to pull together for a fantastic prom. They definitely weren't aclass of spectators. Leaders were prominent in 79 and they got involved to prove it. The senior class of ’78 was aclass ready to prove an equal to their title! Most had attended Meadowbrook since ’74. They were definitely ready to “move on’ to bigger and better things with more responsibility. As the top class, they had gained their position academically and accomplishment wise. They had dis- appointments and success. Above all the rest, they had finished at least 11 and mostly 12 years of school. Adult- hood was just across the way, Our first step to independence, anda fresh start in life.

Juniors became interested in their future and what they wanted out of life. The juniors that were interested in attending college took the PSAT test. Others interested in the business world joined one of the working programs. Class work and homework had become more difficult. and required more time to get the work done well. But because of the earlier time schedule there was plenty of time in the afternoon to get the necessary work done. The biggest and most trying responsibility that the juniors had was fund raising and the putting together of the prom. The prom being, a very special night that would never be forgotten by anyone attending. Preparing for Art class, Lisa Gravitte cuts the paper she needs.

School started at 7:40 a.m. and let out at 2:00 p.m. Maybe that didn't give students enough time to sleep, but they had plenty of ‘‘goof off” time and still get their work done.

We started the year as a school looking forward to more space and facilities. The new building became a part of our everyday routine. Without that, Meadowbrook wouldn't have seemed the same. Yes, we were finally all moved in and settled back. It was spring and we took full advantage of our tennis courts, baseball field, guidance offices, shop classes, academic classes and auxiliary gym. The added room provided space needed for the Coming freshman. Supporting the Sceptre staff with monetary aid, many businesses and patrons helped us through a financially difficult year. The contributions given to the yearbook were used towards the cover, quality paper, and special effects. Community businesses were able to advertise products available to us. Parents, neighbors, and friends of the student body also helped us financially. They purchased patrons from those who were competing for the first place prize for selling the most. A ski trip to Canaan Valley, W.Va. was awarded to Mary Duty as she sold more patrons than anyone else. Although this money-raising campaign wasn't as successful as we had hoped, it still provided us with some financial support. This year was centered around moving in the new building. Even through all the changes, we still continued to participate in academic and extracurricular activities. We studied for tests and went to athletic games as usual, but this year was different and special to us all. : INDEX CLOSING.

We had many new friends and developed special relationships with old ones. We went to games, dances, parties and school functions together. We got mad, made up, became closer or grew apart. School is a time when your personality and values grow or diminish. Your friends were people who felt the same as you, most of the time, and you tended to stick together. Hopefully, after graduation, we will all stay in touch and remain fast friends. Chip Hendricks, Cecil Wilmoth and Randall Welcher express their enjoyment at having their picture taken. ‘yf If you were actively involved in something that truly interested you, at school, then it was a more stimulating experience. Some people were artist, photographers, writers, enthusiast, organizers and leaders. They stayed after school, worked at home and between classes to develop what they enjoyed. They strived to do their best and were better students for the extra struggle. The rewards of doing your best was always worth all the hard work. The number of truly involved students at Mbk proved it. Charlie Craig takes his artwork very seriously. Stacey Roberts got “involved” by being the mascot for the “Mighty Monarchs.” Lisa Green enjoyed being an active manager for Varsity Football. George Dardoufas enjoys his typing class. 205 12) oO n o ne) = Q jou oO IS © o ig i s 9 D =) = — 2 c ® 12) io) = ne] ® cS) = } fe) = Cc © 2 a) Ao on “ ® Ja = — 2 (i= © oa co) a zo} ® 52) 1 ) (= S) 2 Ba: re) fs) om = 2 no re) fe) a ( Bonnie - ro) } © te Si was iss ° ® a i?)

As you looked back you regretted some, thought others were over too soon, and others you’d love to do again. Things you'll always remember and some you’d sooner forget, but always (memories), there in your background, and then to become pages in your life. “UP WITH PEOPLE” put on a memorable performance in the gym during a SCA activity. Donna Conner, Debbie Baker and Cathy Carden enjoyed particpating in Homecoming. Mrs. Tucker was amused with the way her cake was decorated. 207 DEDICATED © ARTIST AND FRIEND! We the yearbook staff of 1977-1978 hereby dedicate this year’s SCEPTRE to Mr. Joseph Hamrick. We admired his struggle in regaining his health and still being able to contain us, and make us work. Since coming to Meadowbrook in 1970, Mr. Hamrick has taught Mechanical drawing, art and been the advisor to the second most expensive project in school—the yearbook. Without his help, Mbk would have a rougher time running right, in many aspects. He is a dedicated photographer, artist and friend. Without him the Sceptre wouldn't be in the hands of students and faculty now. We could never have done it, as great, without him. “Hamrick,” we love you and thanks!
