Title Page 1 Reaching the top — We did KR When the front doors opened to_ fourteen hundred students on August 31, 1982, it was going to be just another year to get through. The thought of hav- ing alittle fun or improving the activities entered the minds of some students, but for most, they were only there for the ride. A ride is just what it turned out to be. The ride went up and never plunged Hide-away munchie Wendy Allen takes a break while waiting for her hotdogs to get done during the Senior Picnic.

As this ride built upon itself, it caught more and more students, faculty, and adminis- trators in its path. There was a certain need or want for most to be a part of this ride called pride. This pride was built of little things. It used, as its base, the willingness to give and the elation to receive. And upon that base WE BUILT A NEW PRIDE. Garden raid?

Opening 5 Learning of a different kind 6 Academics Divider For many students, academics took a backseat to other priori- ties in their lives. But for oth- ers, academics was an obses- sion. The irony is that students do much of their learning without even realizing it. Learning took place in many forms along with books, re- ports, films, lectures, and other vehicles directed the way to knowledge. For drama-orient- ed people, everything covered the four academics areas came together, in the characters they portrayed in plays. A fash- ion show provided the neces- sary learning experience for fashion merchandising — stu- dents. A trip to Europe helped forty language students and faculty to appreciate another culture and language. Chesterfield Technical com- muters learned by means of hands-on, the trade of their in- terest. Academically, for both faculty and student hands-on experience was the real pro- fessor. For some knowledge was gathered easily from teachers and stored, others had to work or experience their knowledge. But for all in- volved academics was the steering wheel toward the fu- ture.

But other people can really ‘get into’ studying in some weird places. Have you ever heard of studying in the bathroom, or in the parking lot? Well, some people just need a little atmosphere and a little music, and, then their true brilliance just flows. In study hall?! This Freshman puts study hall to its proper use as he reads his Literature. 8 Studying However, the students that really get into studying usually need total peace and quiet. As Robin Hambright said, “I need total silence so | can really understand and concentrate on what I’m studying.’” The more com- plex person can’t exist, much less study, without the ac- companiment of Juice New- ton or AC DC.

Concentration While acting like she’s reading, Debbie Everheart takes a quick nap. Studying 9 Suzanne Stevens comment- ed that “l can’t concentrate without the radio, because if I’m in total silence | wonder what other people are do- ing.” For the Freshmen, learning how to study is one of the hardest things to master. When high school status has been reached, the teachers no longer guide students through their books. Fresh- men are on their own and it can be pretty scary. Learning to study for ex- ams can be a devastating ex- perience. Not only is hair pulled out, nails bitten to the quick, but over half the stu- dent body resembles walking zombies.

According to Senior Diane Bodsford, ‘It’s really won- derful to know all those months of hard work paid off by not having to take exams.” After being at MBK for four years you really get used to people lounging on a courtyard bench with an al- gebra book gently resting over their head, or passing through the senior hall and happening to notice some- one sitting in a knee-high pile of books, frantically flip- ping through a government notebook in hopes of finding that dittoed worksheet.

Studying 11 “Come what may. Time and Hour runs through the roughest day,” saith Shake- speare, and rough days and long hours of rehearsal are just what the theatrical arts performers put forth for the productions of The Brick and the Rose a serious play, and The Boar, a comedy. The Brick and the Rose consisted of ten cast members and The Boar consisted of three cast members. Both of these plays were concluded in one act. The performers spent ap- proximately 270 hours prac- ticing and perfecting their characters. There were sev- eral lighting cues in The Brick and the Rose, that took hours to get just right. The productions were un- der the leadership of Mr. John Mingus. This is Mr. Mingus’ first year teaching at the school, however, he has been actively involved in dramatics for twenty years. When questioned about the production of, and the performance of the plays, Mr. Mingus said that he was “very pleased with the out- come of the shows and the Behind the Scenes participation of the students. “However,” he continued, “it takes a while for a group of people to change their ways when they’re used to a system from the past.” Paul Haynes, a performer in The Boar, commented on his new director, ““Mr. Min- gus knows his stuff. He runs everything he does in an pro- fessional manner.’’ Sandy Cox, another involved in the plays, said that “everything was worth the trouble: the long hours and the long re- hearsals.”” When curtain time arrive d on October 20 and 21, the performers were ready. They put on productions for both the students of the English classes, and the general pub- lic. Approximately 150 peo- ple attended the evening performances. As the last minute details fell into place and the last minute jitters diminished, the curtain arose to a recep- tive crowd. The Thespians presented, in the opinion of Mr. Mingus, ‘a very pleasing performance.” Seriously Sophomore Susan Hanks listens for her cue during a serious moment in The Brick and The Rose. 12 Dramatics I can feel it!

Life or death Every June ina fictional town somewhere in the United States, the people gather and draw for a lottery.

Each performer played a major role in The Lottery be- cause the lives of the charac- ters of the town were so in- tertwined. The critical aspect for the cast was the crucial timing in delivery. All in all, the performers proved that they could han- dle any challenge, even “ex- periencing” the horror of premeditated death.

A poll taken of the stu- dents reveals that they feel there are many advantages in attending the Tech Center. Among the favorable com- ments was the following: “The Tech Center is GREAT!

You'll really be ready to face the world.” The Tech Center is fast be- coming a practical place for a student to get ahead in the ever-decreasing job market, and more and more students are taking advantage of it. eo Patio pusher Mark Garrett finishes up a cement block at the Tech.

The theme for the fashion show put on for the school and community by members of Fashion Merchandising | and Il was ‘Steppin’ Out.’”” You can be sure that is exactly what these amateur models did. With the help of Ms. Erica Melner, the Fashion Coor- dinator from Thalhimers, each girl chose two outfits to model in the show. One out- fit was taken from the girl’s personal wardrobe and an- other was rented from area stores such as Thalhimers and Foxmoor Casuals. Junior Pam Laslie commented that ‘‘fash- ion modeling comes natural- ly if you’re really into fash- ion.” That is where the courses 18 Fashion Show “Steppin’ Out” in Fashion Merchandising | and II, under the direction of Miss Francine Haymes, came in. Still, it’s not all work and no play. Students learned how to organize their fashion show by attending a local fashion show at the Miller and Rhoads Tea Room and Thalhimers. Also two. stu- dents, Kim Norton and Pam Laslie, participated in a fash- ion show at the Spring Arts Festival. Twelve members of the class went to New York City for four days during April. The participating students sold cookies and candy to raise the funds for this worthwhile trip. In addition to visiting such department stores as Bloomingdale’s , Macy’s, Sak’s and Gimbels, they toured Chinatown and saw two Broadway plays. The highlight of the trip was meeting a successful male model who worked for Hal- ston, a major designer. The one wish many of the girls enrolled in the Fashion Merchandising | and _ Il courses have is that the school could overcome its prejudice against male mod- els. The male image is need- ed in modeling to show the styles for men. The year in merchandising was a successful one. Don’t be surprised if one day you pass a newstand and see on the cover of Vogue or Gen- tlemen’s Quarterly one of our very own models.

Some foreign lan- guage students led by Mrs. Linda Davidson and Mrs. Evelyn Shelton had the op- portunity to live out their dreams when they traveled to France, Switerland, Ger- many, England and Spain during the spring break. Ap- proximately forty-four stu- dents, teachers, and parents tripped the light fantastic to such towns as London, Paris, Luscerne, and Heidleburg, Barcelona and Madrid. The group which traveled throughout Spain was led by Mrs. Shelton. Junior Debbie Jessup said, “The most excit- ing place was definitely the beach at Toremolintas.” Debbie also commented that “the only bad experience was when the lights went out when every one was prepar- ing to go to the disco.” The Spanish students en- joyed entertainment such as the Flamenco dancers, walk- ing the streets, and taking in the sights. The food was real- ly no different from Ameri- can food. There was one small extra, however: where- as American teenagers are only able to buy a hamburger and coke at an American Wendy’s, a Spanish teenager could order a hamburger and a beer! You can see why 20 Trips Abroad “ny Spanish teenager have reason to go any place see The group led by Mrs. Da- vidson traveled in England, France, Switerland, and Ger- many. Said Junior Bryan Tun- nell, ‘The trip was really great! The only bad exper- ience was the four hour stop- over in Boston’s Logan Air- port because of the icy weather.” Bryan said that his favorite place was Switer- land” because of its extreme- ly clean, crisp view.” For excitement, the un- derground in London of- fered some “punk adven- tures” — bizarre exper- iences. Or, if you wished, you could disco all night in the Paris hot spots, or, better yet, eat all the great food in Swi- terland. Fortunately for stu- dents who wished to make purchases, most of the shop owners spoke English, mak- ing business transactions fair- ly simple. Many of the stu- dents purchased paintings from the Left Bank in Paris or beer in Switzerland. All in all, forty-four lucky foreign language students lived out the fantasies of many people. Taking a for- eign language may turn out to be the first step to getting a passport to some exotic place.

Through the support of the guidance office, college pre- paratory courses were sug- gested to interested students in order to equip them with the tools needed to succeed in college. Then of course, there were the dreaded Standardized Aptitude Tests, better known as S.A.T.’s. As an influential factor in col- lege admission procedures, students got up early on a scheduled Saturday morn- ing, only to face three hours of solid testing in hopes of getting a high enough score to attend the college of their choice.

Career Day featured repre- sentatives from different jobs who were assigned a class- room where they told inter- ested students of their ca- reers and answered ques- tions. Unlike reading about a job, students found out what they were really like. Those intent on pursuing a career immediately after high school were given many opportunities of practical ap- plication. On location were courses such as Computer, C.O.E. Block Courses, Ac- counting, Fashion Merchan- dising, etc. as well as the job placement activities of I.C.T. and |I.W.E.

Students took courses ranging from Auto Mechanics to Photography to Nursing. Throughout high school, each student has made choices that will affect the future either directly or indi- rectly. Each course has made an effect, each course has been important in its own way. Some have been liked, others not. But isn’t that the way it is in the real world? Futures 27 Celebrating life From the very first dance on Au- gust 27, the “life” of students gained momentum and built up to a final feeling of joyful togetherness. As stu- dents drifted through the year at their own pace, bumps along the way threw them off the track and into a fun filled rage. Joining together to provide activities and to enjoy them created a memorable year for stu- dents. With better publicity, traditional events, such as Homecoming were better attended and turned out to be much more than traditional! Holidays were an opportunity for some to provide for the needy, sell greetings or carnations, or simply to share in the happiness of upcoming vacation time. A ballroom prom ina real ballroom turned out to be a grand and elegant event. The culmination of student life was a celebration of life. With spring, came an exuberant sense of togeth- erness as students, faculty and many community members assembled on the front lawn of the school to share the joy of one student's gift. That gift was a van that symbolized the spirit of giving that touched his life and unit- ed student life. The masses On Van Day, groups of people find different ways to relax and relate their feelings about this eventful day. 28 Student Life Divider aetietics: REA WE BUILT A NEW PRIDE Student Life Contents PeDuRalieSrncite tra tear ere 0=0 | EIOMECOMING ae-cnar ctor seu OLa IS Wied th element acer cece wee 4 a7 FASMNONSH ene near ne CO 4i HHONGAVS ce trae at. teaeee caren FoR 4 Junior Senior PEOM cc-ccscese.0007-0-4. 40-49 DANCES Mente eee eet eo neeeeanec see DOU =D On the Road Again...................

Most of the time, Junior “Punks” shared the spirit stick with the Sophomore “paws.” In fact, these students were so busy competing against each other, they often forgot that the band was in the gym also. However MBK’s marching band was no “shrinking violet.” The band came alive with their own original gimmicks. They wore wild- looking hats and stole the spirit stick away from the Juniors. Almost every Friday, students went “wild’’, screamed for the sports teams and rivaled between the classes to gain recognition as being the most spirited class. Go ’84!

Mr. Buchanan gives Robin Johnson, the Homecoming queen, a whisper of congratulations. Coming home to homecoming The players warmed up on the field and the bundled-up students, teachers, alumni, and parents crowded on and around the bleach- ers. Most of the people were wrapped in their winter coats and scarfs to protect them- selves from the chilly October wind. Conver- sation grew louder with anticipation for the start of the exciting night ahead. Many alumni that were home for home- coming from colleges, jobs, and from just taking it easy, renewed acquaintances with familiar surroundings, friends, and dance dates. Some talked about and compared pre- vious and present homecoming weeks. Homecoming week had begun with class colors day on Monday and blue and gold day on Tuesday. The spirit chains began to lengthen with paper links sold during lunches by Keyette members. Wednesday halls were decorated with signs, crepe paper, balloons and other spirited items. The search for those little paper footballs, that had been hidden by the cheerleaders, also went on Wednesday. The Seniors won the football finding contest and the Juniors won the hall decorating contest, thus giving them both more spirit points. On Thursday the classes congregated in the gym during activities period for the “Spirit Spectacular.” The Spirit Spectacular was a new feature sponsored by the SCA and the cheerleaders. It was an activity in which the classes competed in relays for spirit points. The relays included: the cup and sau- cer relay, won by the Seniors; the show scramble, also won by the Seniors; the spell- ing of ‘““MBK” relay, won by the Juniors; and the general spirit contest in which the Soph- omores won for their yelling and noise-mak- ing. The final day of the week was spent in last minute preparation for Friday’s outdoor pep rally. Points were totaled and the winner of the spirit chain, which by now had made plenty of money for the Keyette Club, was announced. The Seniors had won. Overall, the Juniors won the spirit contest for their all-out spirit during homecoming week. Friday evening arrived bringing the hour for the football game against Colonial Heights. Although MBK was defeated its spirit was not. During half-time the annual parade took place. The band marched on, the floats flooded in (including the winning Sophomore Float), the princesses rode by and soon Robin Johnson was crowned as the 1981 Homecoming Queen. Last but not least, the homecoming dance came. The beat of the band, Friday’s Child, let the people dance on. At 12:00 p.m. the dance ended and some left to continue the festivities at private parties. The week of October 12 to 17 was a busy one, filled with many events, but most of all, it was filled with spirit; the spirt of coming home to homecoming. Wild and Rabid!

And yet, the snow didn’t materialize until later, but when it came, it came with a Bang! Ap- pearing right in the middle of first semester exams, it gave many des- perate students extra time to study (cram). The break was well appre- ciated until it began consuming holidays and eventually added ex- tra days to the school year. Well, enough and the snow melted and everything was back to normal. But then, it happened — Spring Fever hit. All the symptoms were there: eyes drifting past the teach- er to gaze out the windows to the tempting outside; daydreams of playing ball after school; the lack of concentration; the steadily dropping grades. Not all was lost, however, for the teachers knew what was coming and had pre- pared well. Lectures were given and warnings were made. Some went unheeded, but most had a Camera Shy Teresa shys away from the photographers and towards her covat for warmth. fairly positive effect. The Spring Holidays also helped by giving most the chance to get “the fever” out of their systems. With the fourth nine weeks came a sense of bringing the year to a close. The weather, by now frequently hot, distracted those in the unairconditioned areas of the school. Gatherings near the 300 hall congested traffic more than ever as a few minutes of relief were sought during the breaks. As the heat continued, every one sur- vived and kept reminding them- selves that it would only be a little while longer till the end of school — and summer. TR Take Cover!

Just as new students and faculty come to Meadowbrook every year, new styles also come to MBK. In the past years at Mea- dowbrook the styles came in a wide variety. There was every- thing from prep to punk. What were these styles like? During the fall of 1981 the “Preppy” was favored by many students. The Preppy Hand- book advised the prep on how to look, how to act, and even what kind of dog to buy. There were even subdivisions of preps. There were preps who wore alligators to be preppy, some who went into the more expensive preppy look with Ralph Lauren clothes, and some went all the way with the preppy jewelry, shoes, and even hairstyles. Was preppy just a fad? Keith Simmons, one of Meadowbrook’s more promi- nent preps, said not. “It’s a cer- tain look that doesn’t go out of style,” said Keith, “prep isn’t just wearing an alligator, it’s be- ing a person that is really con- cerned with what he she wears — it’s having a distinguished look.” Although the prep-look was still seen throughout the win- ter, the styles changed to a wild and risqué look. Colors bright- ened and became almost flores- cent, neck collars stood up, Sea-bound Sailor Debbie Fuller, while modeling in the Fashion Show, represents the all American “sailoress’’. a Shhh, brain at work Here, stripes and khaki protray the look of Jay Mahone.

Friends and stripes forever Posing as pals, Susan Hanks and Shelly Downey show that stripes were in abundance this year. 40 Fashions What You Wear skirts began to shorten, and hair did almost anything as it was held by a headband. This new look was calmly known as “Punk Rock’. Punk was reveled in metallic clothes, wide belts, brightly colored shoes, and most anything that could shock the looker-on. Punk sytles were inspired by the B-52’s, the Go- Go's, Devo, Joan Jet and the Blackhearts, and an assortment of other new wave music groups. Between the “prep” and the a “punk” could be seen many personal looks in clothes. Of course there could still be found the “head” look with its Levi jeans and T-shirts, desert boots, or frye-boots, and leath- er or jean jackets. Levis domi- nated this country. 1981-82 was the year of the preppy and punk-rock look but, along with new people, there will always be a new per- sonality and a new look. This year MBK gained, along with new personality, new spunk.

Meadowbrook seemed to have an extra amount of holiday spirit this year with its organiza- tions and people working togeth- er to show that they could care and share. Halloween showed that MBK students could give excitement and fun to a chilly October day. The SCA hid orange paper pump- kins around the school and award- ed the finders with Halloween treats. The Foreign Language club sold Ghoul-a-grams, which were trick-or-treat messages written by the buyer and delivered along with a sucker by the club members during homeroom. Lots of stu- dents dressed up in costumes. There were male cheerleaders, walking raisins, walking Rubic’s cubes, clowns, gypsies, punk- rockers, and everything the imagi- nation of enthusiastic students could dream up. The extra fun in Halloween this year was in the three-day weekend, which gave students time to party, trick-or- treat, and do whatever else was desired. Christmas week at Meadow- brook was full of active students; the caring and sharing continued.

The Foreign Language Club went around the halls during classes singing Christmas carols in a vari- ety of languages: French, Spanish, Latin, and German. The History Club got into the spirit by selling poinsettias and the FBLA club sold messages attached to candy canes. The SCA kept the spirit flowing with an array of activities, like get- ting the Metropolitan Blood Bank here, which resulted in their re- ceiving ninety-four pints of blood from giving Meadowbrook stu- dents. SCA members also did things like stuffing ninety-nine stockings for Hening Elementary students with items brought in by homerooms and like sponsoring the Christmas Dance Marathon as a money raiser for the Mike Morris Fund. A party was also given by the Ziggy!! The Christmas gift, Debbie Mitch- ell has just reveived, takes its place among her school books. SCA the last day before Christmas break began. Munchies and soft- drinks were supplied along with music from the band “‘Flight’’, and plenty of Christmas spirit for all the students. Christmas did bring an extra special treat this year, though — SNOW! Richmond experienced its first ‘‘White Christmas” in the past years. Finally in February, Valentine’s Day brought the sharing of Valen- tine cards and carnations. Keyette members sold 850 carnations and the Foreign Language club sold eight-five Valentine messages written in foreign languages. Sweethearts were everywhere. Undoubtedly the holiday brought their share of spirit, fun and festivity to Meadowbrook, and Meadowbrook students re- sponded enthusiastically with their ability to share and care. Trick or Treat.

Most people would agree that going ona date in your parents car, or going places on a bus isn’t the ideal way for a sixteen year old teenager. Meadowbrook people understood this and given the help, organization and time, they de- cided to do something about it. They united to give Mike one present that would represent ex- actly what Meadowbrook stood for: caring, and giving. Time, effort and alot of strength made 1982 stand out in more ways than one.

Everyone jumped in and _ helped, whether it was through a club or on their own initiative. Fund raisers were occuring everywhere. The three most successful fundraisers that he helped MBK push toward its $15,000 goal, were the Telethon, Red Lobster Campaign and Carni- val. The telethon was put together by students and faculty and resulted in raising more money than any other single activity. In two broadcast- ings over Chesterfield and Richmond Cable T.V., $4486 was raised. As a tribute to this tele- thon, Governor Robb declared May 16 National Telethon Day in Virginia. Red Lobster raised the second largest amount of money for the Mike Morris Fund. By donat- ing money from bowls of clam chowder sold during the months of March and April, Red Lobster raised $3,634. The carnival involved almost everyone. On April 25, students, faculty, and families gathered on the front lawn for a day of fun and festivity. There were booths for everything: food, kissing, dunking, riding horses and many other things.

With $9,801 raised, the goal was well on its way to being reached. MBK continued to work towards the top. Various clubs held countless fund raisers and even donated extra money from their treasur- ies. Some of those activities were: The Air Bands, a Saddie Hawkins Dance, donut and car- nation sales, a comedy show, and many more. With all the clubs trying so diligently, the fund grew to $16,042. One of MBK’s goals for 1982 had been reached and exceeded. On May 28 at 11:00 students and faculty gath- ered in the gym to hear the seniors give their thanks for ‘a great year.’’ Also at this time a representative from Home Insurance Compan- ies presented a $5,000 check to add to the fund, raising it to over $20,000. There seemed no bet- ter way to celebrate than to have one big party, and that’s exactly what followed. Once more everyone met on the front lawn where they saw all their hard work materialize. Q-94, Channels 6,8, 12, and Cable TV were there to capture the excitement. At about 12:15 a 1982 Ford van with special features driven by Mr. Buchanan was presented to Mike. When asked by Tommy Ter- ry what he thought of it, Mike said, “I love it.” Tommy in return explained, ‘‘Well, Mike, we love you.” The excitement continued with music from the band “Crossfire,” foot-long hotdogs from “Momma Cook’s” kitchen, and plenty of other excitement from people doing their own thing. That year showed that Meadowbrook was not just another high school. It showed that its peo- ple and friends could unite into one big caring group.

Angela Wilmoth was chosen as first runner-up by the judges and Dana Peake was selected ‘Miss Congeniality” by fellow contestants. Sarah Stewart said that, along with the excite- ment and surprise of being crowned the new Miss Meadowbrook, she was “really honored to be chosen as the school’s representative!!”” The sets were artistically designed by Mark Ragland and Tim Jones sang the romantic theme song “Only One You.” Throughout the evening the band “Southern Breeze” provided mellow background music. The audience was entertained by the four- teen contestants’ individual talent acts which ranged from song and dance numbers to a com- edy sketch. In addition, it was a night of ‘‘firsts’”” for the pageant. Woody Thomas thrilled the crowd with his magic tricks while the contes- tants showed much school spirit in their inter- pretation of the Beach Boys’ hit “Be True to Your School” and demonstrated their poise in modeling sun suits. However, the girls’ escorts were not to be outdone. A male fashion show of tuxedo wear from Mitchells was a big hit. Mrs. Davidson, the S.C.A. sponsor who orga- nized the pageant, happily remarked, “this has been the best pageant we have had.” Everyone agreed.

An SCA sponsored Air Band Contest featured students impersonating rock groups where the “Go-Go's” were the winners. Soon after, the Air Force Band created a dance fever with their music and the Senior Class Gong Show was a smash hit with its zany acts. Talent ranged froma take-off on Mid-Atlantic wrestling to the ‘Most Outrageous Act’’ of the Figettes to the ‘Best Act” of the Johnny B. Goode rock ‘n’ roll tune. The soccer team’s Variety Show exhibited a wide vareity of talent. Everything from stand-up comedians to rock ‘n’ rollers to sensational sing- ers wore out the stage.

Goodbye The last days of school for every- one are exciting, but for seniors they are more than a little bit spe- cial. The final days were filled with fun, excitement, and together- ness. With only three weeks left, sen- ior activities began to roll. On class night, a reception with refresh- ments for family and students fol- lowed a slide show depicting past times and fond memories. There were proud class speakers and sponsors, and lots of awards. The S.C.A. kept the ball rolling with the Senior Appreciation Dance on Saturday, May 22. On Monday, May 24, Senior Slave Day marked the beginning of Senior Week. Flying into hiding places to avoid being trapped, un- derclassmen cleared the halls. For the less fortunate ones who were enslaved by the seniors, the con- sequences they paid included pushings nickels down the hall with their noses, singing songs, and quacking like ducks.

Futures Day was held on Friday plus a special treat for the end of the week. Everyone had a chance to enjoy a 2% hour activity period in which time Mike Morris’ van was present- ed. Still the final day had not come. On Sunday, June sixth, Seniors in cap and gown lined up in front of the Church of Nazarene for the Baccalaureate service. A sermon was given by Reverend Keith H. Harris and “Footsteps,” an_ interpretive dance group did several dances. There was only one more for- mal presentation left before the class of ‘82 became graduates. June 11th was a busy day. The class picture was taken at 9:00 a.m. Graduation practice was held at 10:00 followed by a re- ception for parents, faculty and students at 2:00 p.m. Finally graduation time came as ex- cited seniors, parents, and fam- ily came together once again.

Then the list of 246 names was called out as Mr. Buchanan handed out proxy diplomas and President of the class, Venson Wallin, handed out special book- markers as mementos. Hands were clasped, lifted high and the Alma mater was sung. Mr. “B” — pronounced the class of ‘82 — graduates and caps were flung up in the air. After hugs and tears were shared, the alumni then marched off the football field and into the gym to throw caps and gowns in a heap on the floor and to receive their real diplomas.

Learning to deal with others, acquiring the skills needed to improve the team, and exper- iencing togetherness built a prideful unit. Not all teams had a fantastic year as far as numbers were concerned, but they improved and built up strength as well as pride in what they did achieve — togetherness.

They at- tended cheerleading camp at the University of Richmond during the summer. At camp, the J.V. and Varsity girls won several blue and red ribbons for their pep, spirit, and con- scientious attitude. The squads of peppy girls practiced twice a week dur- ing the summer. Once school began they practiced once a week and cheered for games at night. On the aver- age, cheering kept the girls busy approximately three nights a week between foot- ball and basketball games and other sports. Besides the practices and games, cheerleaders are re- quired to maintain passing grades. Unlike some athletes who must maintain good grades in four subjects, the cheerleaders must keep their grades up in all their subjects. The cheerleaders not only J.V. Cheerleaders kneeling Barbara Shoemaker, Suzanne Duff (co-cap- tain), Julie Northcutt (co-captain), 72 J.V. Varsity Cheerleaders inspired spirit and rallied fel- low Monarchs to victory, but they handled the responsi- bilities of selling advertise- ments in the football pro- grams. The girls worked hard on the programs from the initial ad purchase to selling the programs at football games. The Varsity Girls traveled to competitions such as the Tobacco Bowl and the Clo- verleaf Mall Cheerleaders’ Competition. The Varsity squad captured a third-place trophy at the Tobacco Bowl and made a good, strong showing at the Cloverleaf Mall Competition even though they failed to place. A few additions to the cheerleader squads may have been noticed. Along with the usual mascot lion, Nettie Haught, MBK obtained two cubs, Audrey Hudgins and Diane Dickinson. Nettie, Au- drey, and Diane were chosen not for their cheering abili- ties but for their school spirit Kelly Wills.

Candidates for mascots were interviewed by Ms. Linda Rusher, sponser of the cheerleaders, and an- other teacher. The “pride’’ of lions certainly encouraged students to participate at pep rallies and games. Along with the new mas- cots, the cheerleaders re- ceived new uniforms. Be- cause the school provides lit- tle for the cheerleaders, the girls earned money to fi- nance their expenditures. They conducted cheering clinics, sold candy, spon- sored car washes, and sold “Paw Power” buttons to help offset the expenses. Ms. Rusher, the sponsor, said “The girls work well togeth- er; unified even though each person is different and in- volved in various things. They work hard, put in a lot of time cheering, and keep their grades up. It’s been a great year.” Wauford, Stephanie Clark, Paula Hill. Front Row: Angela Wilmoth, Wanda Mounting spirit!

They are members of the Monarette Drill Team who competed throughout the state. They attended three parades. At the Peanut Festival in Emporia, Virginia on September 26, the Marching band, Monarettes, and Majorettes received a first place trophy. On No- vember 7, all three groups went to Urbana, Virginia for the Oyster Festival Parade. All received a second place trophy. The Monarettes also attended the Christmas Pa- rade in nearby Williamsburg on December 5, where they took second place honors. During the year, the Mon- arettes had two fund-raising activities, a car wash and a doughnut sale, for uniforms, traveling, and competition fees. 74 Majorettes Monarettes For the Homecoming pa- rade, they combined busi- ness with pleasure when they had a slumber party to com- plete the work on their float; a white marching boot with tassels. Without a doubt, these dancing ladies stole some smiles along with their tro- phies and honors for their performances. Early start brings recognition Beginning in August, while most students are enjoying the last weeks of summer va- cation, the Majorettes prac- ticed Monday through Thursday every week. This rigorous routine continued even after school started. The Majorettes performed at the pep-rallies and at each football game enchancing school spirit. At one particu- lar game, seniors, Suzanne Stevens (co-captain) and Sheila Hailey, twirled raging fire-covered batons, while the other members per- formed breath-taking feats of their own. The squad has competed in several contests. They per- formed in the Emporia Pea- nut Festival where they re- ceived a first place trophy. They received a second place in both, the Urbana Festival and in the Christmas Parade at Williamsburg. The Majorettes have brought Meadowbrook hon- ors, recognition, and appre- ciation from other parts of the state, which has long been strived for. The ladies dedication to twirling, and desire to strive for excel- lence in performance was an important part of this year. Vaudeville days are back ...

Majorettes Monarettes 75 Looking Forward Plagued by misfortune and a haunting past, the coaches and players for the Varsity Football Team set about to make this one of the most in- teresting seasons Meadow- brook had seen in awhile. Al- though twenty-six players returned, Head Coach Dick Overton, assisted by Coaches Scott Dupre and new- comers Ron Lester and Jamie Carayianus, found it neces- sary to rebuild the entire of- fensive line. Though the quartet of coaches planned the season mostly in preparation for the years to come, “ ... giving experience to the younger kids, so they'll be around in the later years,’’ commented Coach Overton, some good things did result from this year’s season. The team learned to work together 76 Varsity Football and stopped beating them- selves (though this effort came too late). As a running- back Ostin Whitaker ob- served, ‘‘I guess they (the team and coaches) finally started getting together as a team: realizing that you have to play as a team, not as indi- viduals, ‘cause that’s what | believe we were doing at the beginning of the year, but then they started crackin’ down. Getting to business, but it was a bit too late.” Coach Overton had _ his own comments about the team’s performance, “They play well — they wound up beating themselves most of the time.” In spite of its limitations, the football team coura- geously plowed through the season with optimism and determination.

Being smaller in numbers does not always mean the season is doomed. The Junior Varsity Football Team proved this by doing better than ex- pected. Consisting of youn- ger and less experienced players, the team defeated Matoaca, Clover Hill, and Thomas Dale for a 3-5 season. This was one-half game bet- ter than the previous year. “Even though the record does not show it, some of those losses were close and very hard fought,’’ Coach Beckner remarked proudly. Coach Beckner purpose- fully drove the young team of inexperienced players to produce tremendous playing freshmen. Upon this founda- tion the team built the po- tential to become a serious threat to other teams in the Dominion District.

In addition to losing almost half of the team, very little fresh interest had been shown by students coming up from the middle schools. Because of these de- terrents, there was almost no field hockey tem this year to play the schedule. However, despite the lack of players and interest, Coach Kim Hall managed to get thirteen girls out on the playing field. These ‘‘gals’’ weren't out there just for the sake of hav- ing a team either: they were there to play hockey. As Coach Hall put it, “They came out to play... (know- ing that) the team could fold. | expect a lot from my kids.” — and a lot is what she got! Although they made mis- takes, they learned and made improvements. Anyone who watched and witnessed the changes and the expertise that came about later in the season, would have called the im- provement unreal.

The cross country team quickly forgot their butterflies and weak knees. They made tracks and put the school on the map with their abilities, victories, and enthusiasm. This year’s team got off to a victorious start and ended up with a tri- umphant record and the best overall season ever at Mea- dowbrook. Coaches Ken Barber and Dave Cathers worked hard, and it paid off with honors. The team finished a proud fourth place in the district, fourth in the region, and fif- teenth in the state. Coach Cathers stated that his goal was “to change the team’s attitude to a more positive outlook. Winning later made the difference by inspiring the team to per- form better and built a pride in each runner to drive him to do his best.” The early season leader was Brian Sadler but, unfor- SCORES Meadowbrook Opponent 15 Powhatan 50 22 Midlothian 33 23 Varina 35 22 Thomas Dale 36 17 Matoaca 41 23 Colonial Heights 32 24 Clover Hill 31 31 Manchester 27 33 L.C.

They'll be even better prepared for spring track and continue making tracks for themselves and the team.” James Hambright, Sopho- more, summed up the sea- son, “In the beginning, just bettering our times was im- portant to us.

The Varsity girls’ basketball team finished another season. The outstanding team members for the season were co-captain Susan Garr with her basketball-handling experience, and Bev Wig- gins, anew player who came in later in the season. Coach “mamma” Lee said Sopho- more, Gina Torres, was a “really improved player.” “She moved from the bench to the starting lineup.” “Overall, Diane Entsminger was the most improved play- er,” continued Coach Lee. Coach Lee also said Gwenna Walker shows ‘great prom- ise for future years at MBK.” Gwenna Walker made one very outstanding contribu- tion to the team. In the close, tension-building game against Matoaca, Gwenna’s fine defensive skill kept their leading scorer down from her usual thirty points per game to a mere fifteen points. Gwenna’s hard work combined with the team’s spirit, paid off with a victory by one point over Matoaca. Coach Lee made the sea- son a season for rebuilding and improving basic skills. During the season, the girls’ improved and progressed in 4 their playing. Their goal was to obtain a 500 season; how- ever, their record fell slightly short with a 9-11 record. The loss of Senior co-captains, Susan Garr and Diane Ents- minger, along with the rest of the graduating Seniors will be felt by the team next year. Co-captain Diane Ents- minger summed up the sea- son. ‘We had a blast! All the girls were energetic and ex- cited about the games which made sitting the bench just as much fun as playing. We really had a better team than our record showed, and all in all, it was worth it.” SCORES Meadowbrook Opponent 37 Varina 35 30 Manchester 62 32 Colonial Heights 58 27, L.C.

Under new head coach Mike Sutton, the Monarchs weaved their magic through- out the Dominion District and while not finishing in the upper realm of teams, the team did have the final say as to who would be the best team in the Dominion Dis- trict. The former Virginia Com- monwealth coach took a bas- ketball program which was 2 — 16 and led the Monarchs to a 6 — 14 record. He did this with nine players who had no varsity experience. The record was deceiving because the Monarch’s lost three games by one point, two games by two points, one game by three points, and three games in overtime. No team in the league played as tenaciously as the Monarchs, who led the Do- minion District in defense against teams who were vir- tually senior laden and more talented. The team was led by junior guard Robbie Raikes, a second team Do- minion District selection, who led the team in scoring, free throw percentage, steals and assists. He received sup- port from the five seniors, Joe White, John Taylor, Jay Mahone, James Stafford and captain Robbie Anderson. Also contributing to the team were six juniors and two sophomores, all of whom lettered and will give the basketball program eight veterans for the 1982-83 sea- son. Coach Sutton said that when he came to Meadow- brook in August his first goal was to build a competitive basketball program. “Before Air borne In a game against Ma- toaca, Robbie Raikes (12) passes the ball to a teammate. you learn to walk you have to learn to crawl,” said Coach Sutton. The Monarchs cer- tainly accomplished that goal and went from a young and inexperienced squad to one who finished strong by win- ning three of their last six games. “We had to crawl to respectability due to the poor previous seasons and reached the point of walking by the end of the year,” stat- ed Coach Sutton. With a good summer pro- gram and some dedication from a number of players, the Monarchs can certainly quit walking and take off run- ning to the Dominion Dis- trict title next year.

The team learned a whole new offense and defense.” David Hastings, also a freshman, re- plied, ‘‘The team really im- proved and everyone played hard.’” With the new offen- sive and defensive plays, the hard work said its rewards with a double victory over Midlothian in the last game by both the J.V. and Varsity teams. For the team, this vic- tory was the high point of the season. At the season’s conclusion, the team had earned an 8 — 12 record and were looking J.V.

Basketball forward to an even better year next year with further development of the players and training by the coaches. Several players made out- standing contributions. Earl Lewis was a steadying force at the point guard position. Tony Mavredes, who was a freshman, became a season- long standout. The most im- proved players were Troy Hobson and David Hastings. Greg Rawls was important for his offensive leadership and Paul Weedon demonstrated his defensive skill and quick- ness. Other players who dis- tinguished themselves were David Padgett, for being a hard worker, and Vance Fuller, for his positive atti- tude and influence on the team. Under Coach Cathers’ guidance; the Junior Varsity team learned new defensive and offensive plays. Combin- ing this new growth, with the abilities of returning players, a new chance and new shot at victory was made possible. Shooting stars The star-struck girls’ Junior Varsity basketball team over shot their expectations by capturing the regular season championship. Coach Cathers attributed the win- nings to the team’s constant hard work and never-ending determination. “Each game we played, the girls’ playing improved. They learned from their mistakes, and that’s what counts,” said Coach Cathers. At the be- ginning of the season Coach Cathers and the team had hoped to have a break-even season. They did not think about becoming a leading team in the Dominion League. However, by beating Lloyd C. Bird twice and win- ning regular season games MBK’s J.V. team scrambled to top-dog in the district. Team members who made significant contributions were Chris Hudson, Sharon Blake, Jennifer Bixby, Nessie Dimeo, and Lori Williams. Chris Hudson showed over- all leadership on the floor, and Jennifer Bixby set a good example for the team with her positive attitude. Sharon Blake was the leading re- bounder; Nessie Dimeo and Lori Williams scored well from the inside. Jennifer Bixby, a guard, said, ‘Every- one played, and it was a lot of fun! Dee Branch was always psyched up and spirited!” A team like the J.V. girls’ basketball team demon- strates that with talent, spirit, and hard work nothing can prevent one from reaching a goal. The team set their goals and hopes high, and still their dreams excelled to the sky.

Moments later the buzzer blares and the wrestlers await the decision of the match by the officials. Even though the team did not experience a very suc- cessful season due to injur- ies, the team off-set the losses with a number of per- sonal standouts, vigorous training, and fan support. By working out each day, the wrestlers improved themselves in their skill and endurance. The team ran ev- ery day and per-thirty min- utes of calistenics. Towards the end of the season, they were doing ten to twleve minutes of continuous wres- tling. Coach Higginbotham felt that the season would have been better if there had been less complications. For exam- ple, Venson Wallin, a team captain, suffered an_ early season knee injury which si- delined him for the entire season. Also, Jimmy Zimmer, was kept from participating this year because of an age requirement. The wrestling monarchs had several outstanding indi- viduals. Jim Herrin, a 98- pound wrestler, definitely made a proud showing. He had a 9-2 regular season re- cord. Charlie Toney and Da- vid Deal also made a showing for the team. They placed third and fourth consecu- tively in the Hopewell Christmas Tournament. The team wrestled ten freshmen and sophomores which will provide promising talents in the future for the team. Captain, Charlie Toney, commented that “the team worked well together but we didn’t quite meet our poten- tial. Brad Anderson, Ricky Annelli, and Mike Louth gave good performances.” The peak of the season was the match against Bird. The team was supposed to score less in the match. However, they led the match up to the last three matches when Bird pulled ahead and won. How- ever, the Monarchs proved they could not be put down for the count without a fight. The fan support was good. The cheerleaders rallied the boys to victory and the par- ents gave their support. Stu- dent Coach, “Coach Zim- mer,’ encouraged the team to do their best. In conclusion, the team went out and competed and did their best. Several indi- viduals made outstanding ac- complishments while repre- senting MBK. Throughout the season, even with injur- ies, the team wrestled and fought. Their will and deter- mination could not be pinned. They trained, per- formed, and had fan support to even the score.

Top shape, a fine season of 3- 4,anda fifth place in the dis- trict meet, were the results of the labors of eleven girls who made up the members of the girls’ gymnastics team backed by Coach Debbie Rizzo. The hard work re- quired to make a good gym- nast did not start simply in the afternoons after school, nor did it end at five o'clock. Each girl who dreamed of be- ing a part of the gymnastics team had to start her hard work the very first day of school. Since gymnastics is a win- ter sport, the gymnasts need- ed to fulfill requirements on both the fall and spring se- mesters. Coach Rizzo kept tabs on her “prospects” through report card checks and Teacher Survey forms. Coach Rizzo looked after more than just grades. She SCORES Gymnastics Girls Opponent 79.9 90.8 53.95 84.6 91.15 76.45 DBS eyse) 74.45 74.7 90.55 85.65 75.4 75.45 L. C. Bird Clover Hill Manchester Matoaca Midlothian Godwin Thomas Dale kept a close eye on the ap- pearance of each of her “‘la- dies,’ as she called them. She continuosly checked their grace, form, and weight. “When overweight starts to hurt my eyes or affect per- formances, the gymnast is as- sisted in maintaining a maxi- mum weight through diet, exercise, and modifying be- havior,” said the coach. If, after all of this, the girls we re still “turned on” by the thought of being part of the “Rizzo ladies,” they would then be welcomed to come out. Coach Rizzo liked hard- working, dedicated people. The gymnasts were judged and chosen on their ability to: (1) perform basic gymnas- tic skills; (2) work one’s self; (3) work well with others; and (4) have an appropriate atti- tude toward the sport of gymnastics. The latter was decided through an inter- view with the Coach. Once a girl had been se- lected, the most physicially tiring, if not the most taxing, part of the being a gymnast began. Each girl was assigned an event and time slot during practice to either work on new tricks, routines, or parts of routines. Running was also a part of the workouts, with alternate days of endurance and speed work. So what were the practices like? “Very hard!” whipped off Coach Rizzo, taken aback at the thought that they might have been anything else. ‘Each girl is physically exerting herself at least one and a half hours (each day).”” When Coach Rizzo was asked if she ever had a “lady” who just didn’t improve, she firmly responded, “NO.” She added, “We both agree (coach and gymnast) on the goals at the beginning of the season...in order of simplist to most difficult; each one is broken down into progres- sions and taught one step ata time, moving to the next step only when we’re sure (confi- dent) about the step before, (continuously) adding the steps until the entire skill is learned.” Coach Rizzo often held a gymnast back from perform- ing a particular stunt if she felt the gymnast in question was not yet capable of the desired stunt. The girls of the gymnastics team took a great deal of pride in themselves. Manag- ers helped boost pre-meet morale with various slogans written on multi-colored buttons. After the work was over and done for the season, fig- ures and diets were tempo- rarily forgotten when the girls all got together for a dinner at Rizzo’s place. She had nothing but positive comments to say about their season. ‘Overall, the team’s attitude was to learn and practice as much as they could and do it (perform) to the best of their ability. No one can ask for anything more!” “., The team’s attitude was to learn and practice as much as they could and do it (perform) to the best of their a bility.” — Coach Debbie Rizzo Girls’ Gymnastics Splits Kristen Lof- quist, Tracy Salmon on the floor Anita Przystawik, Angela Wilmoth, Lori Bardon, Jane Futch, Vicki Ellis standing Heidi Nunnally, Robin King, Coach Debbie Rizzo, Desiree Barnett on top Margaret Wirt, Karen Woolard, Sarah Stewart.

Girls’ Gymnastics 93 Meadowbrook Learning the basic moves How can anyone arch his body like that? Or hold his body in sucha position for so long? How do they do it? With practice and hard work would be the reply from a member of the Boys’ Gym- nastics Team. Stretching and flexing were the basic moves for six young men on the gymnastics team. Freshman Joe Mulas, who had competed in junior high school, provided impressive talent on the floor exercise, parallel bars, and pommel horse. Another freshman, Chris Whittenbraker, com- peted well on the still rings and parallel bars. Holding up their own were freshmen Eddie Hankins and sophomore Dennis Brewer. Eddie Hankins performed well on the high bar and in vaulting, while Dennis Brew- er did well in vaulting and other events. Sophomore, Jim Herrin, competed in all events, and excelled in the floor exercise and parallel bars. The team captain, junior Mike Leonard, competed in several events and did espe- cially well when it came to vaulting and the still rings. In spite of its talented young men, the team had a few problems that plagued their season. As in the case of last year, the team again found itself traveling to Sa- lem Middle School to get their coaching. But these SCORES Boys’ Gymnastics Opponent L. C.

The team had a total of four meets and finished with 3-1 record. In post- season competi- tion, the team finished sec- ond on the district and third in regional competition. Team members qualified in four events for the State meet: Joe Mulas on the paral- lel bars; Chris Whittenbraker on the rings and floor exer- cise; and Mike Leonard in vaulting. One thing each of these gymnasts were concerned about was “the lack of inter- est and support from the stu- dent body.’”’ Captain Mike Leonard commented, “‘It used to be a sport where you were quiet all the time, but it has changed and spectators are now allowed to cheer on their team.’” As Coach Hee- sen said, ‘Any school that has a team that is doing as well in the district should and needs to be supported by the stu- dent body and faculty.” Although the team was small in number, it will gather no moss as it rolls and twists and turns into another sea- son with all members return- ing. The valuable experience gained, will take the team a long way. Still smiling Even during difficult manuevers, Eddie Hankins is still smiling.

Boys’ Gymnastics 95 The men’s” tennis was coached by student-teacher Ms. Sansone, who took on a young and_ inexperienced team. The team consisted of six young men, five sopho- mores and one senior. Of these, three were returning players; only one had pre- viously lettered. The players were ranked on the tennis ladder as fol- lows; Senior and captain Parag Kanitkar ranked first, followed by Bobby Lawrence and Paul Lee, who were sec- ond and third respectively. Matt Delap and Greg Rawls were seeded fourth and fifth. In mid-season Paul Lee moved to New York allowing Matt and Greg to move up in the standings. The team practiced daily.

Even though the team’s re- cord was 1-9 for the season Parag said, “Everyone learned a lot just playing.” Two members qualified for tournament competition. Bobby Lawrence played sin- gles in Dominion Districts while Parag Kanitkar com- peted in the V.C.U.I.A. Tour- nament and made it all by the way to the finals. Bobby and Parag teamed up as the num- ber one doubles and had the opportunity to participate in District competition. Captain Kanitkar summed up by saying, “This season was a learning experience for most of the team. The team will improve next year be- cause of its playing this year.” Break-point match With racquets in hand, the girls tennis team finished up with a winning record of 5-4. The team, which practiced faithfully at Meadowbrook Country Club after school, had its efforts rewarded with improvement in its skills and final record. Coach Rusher said, ‘ The high point of the season was the close match against Thomas Dale.” The girls were victorious over Dale; tri- umphing in the final doubles match. Winning the tie- breaker 5-4 gave the team the hard fought decision. Ms. Rusher said, “Jane Futch played well in the Thomas Dale match.” In addition, Al- lison Andrews and Susan Garr also played well this sea- son, gaining an opportunity to participate in the Domin- ion District doubles match. Summing up the year, Coach Rusher stated, ‘Any winning season is a successful one. The entire team was compatible and enjoyed playing. Player Beth Ashton ob- served, ‘“The season went rather well. Everyone worked together as a team. There was a lot of support for the individuals who were starting.” Because of the team’s dedication and _ consistent practice, the girls met their goal of having a winning sea- son. Furthermore, they built a strong fundation for the years to come. I see it! During practice, Parag Kani- tar is ready to smash the ball to his opponent. Energetic!

During a home meet Gwenna Walker makes a bound over the high jump bar. Sonoma tea i RG Running up the The girls’ track team had a very successful season, mak- ing its mark in the district, re- gion, and state with its supe- rior abilities. The members were composed of twelve freshmen, five sophomores, three juniors, and four sen- iors. The team’s common goal was to increase individ- ual expertise, break as many personal records as possible, and to be very competitive in every meet. The team met all their goals and proved much with a 6-4 record for the sea- son. Each practice was intend- ed to push the athlete to per- form her best. Practices al- ternated between demand- ing days and easier ones. For example: one day the sprinters and jumpers would run light 440’s; the next day they would jog the cross country course. One day dis- tance runners ran a six-mile road race while the next day they only jogged the course. There were several out- standing individuals on the team. Teena Brooks, a junior was undefeated for thirteen straight meets in the shot put. She was the District, Re- gional, and State Champion with a personal record of 45’- 6% in this event and a state record of 43’-9’ . Teena was records the District and Regional champion and fifth in the state. She was chosen as this year’s most valuable player by Coach Cathers. Teena also deserves much congratula- tions for winning first place shot put in the nationals in July 1982. Senior Diane Entsminger was another prominent ath- lete. She claimed the District High Jump title as well as the school record in the state meet with a 5’2”” jump. She improved eight inches over last years season. Furthermore, Gwenna Walker, a freshman, was fifth in the district and fifth in the region as a high jumper. Sophomore Joyce Lewis ran the 400 meter dash and placed third in district com- petition. Lewis also placed fifth in the 100 meter dash. Her personal record was 62.5 in the 400 meter. race. “She was a real hard worker,” commented Coach Barber. The Mile Relay Team of Vicki Ellis, Joyce Lewis, Gwenna Walker, and Annette Plante shattered the school record by ten seconds with a time of 4:26.0 Juli Mangum won the two-mile race against Colo- nial Heights when Pam Gizzi was out with injuries. The team contained much indi- vidual talent this year. The running Monarchs made a proud finish with their second consecutive winning season. There were many individuals = who claimed victories and titles. The team broke school re- cords, personal records, and established a fine mark for competitive track at each meet. ‘Next year there will be lots of young talent re- turning with the underclass- men and their experience from this season. We were super this year, but we'll be even better next year!’ boasted Coach Cathers. Quality, Not Quantity With only fifteen partici- pants, boys’ track still turned in a great season. Mark Coo- per, a freshmen, said, “Even though the team lacked the strength in numbers, it still did well in the district.” The team captured fifth place in the Dominion district of eleven teams. Coach Tucker’s goal was to be competitive. The team was indeed competitive and won four meets. According to coach Tucker, all the par- ticipants performed out- standingly and reached their as oe potentials. Along with Coach Tucker, Assistant Coach Steve Madison established a good working relationship with the team and helped them recognize that hard work brings good results. Individuals who continue- ly contributed over and be- yond the call of duty were Ostin Whitaker, Mark Coo- per, Brian Sadler, and Keith Simmons. Ostin Whitaker went to district, regional, and state meets. He smashed his personal bests and _ estab- lished new records. He was the only team member who qualified in the regional meet to go to the state meet for the long jump and won the triple jump in the dis- tricts. Mark ran 4:43.06 for the district mile and placed sixth in the district. Keith Simmons ran the two-mile in his personal best time of 10:21. Brian Sadler said, ‘‘The team improved a lot since last year. There was a lot more team spirit than in the past, especially with Nelson Mayfield.” Whitaker, Simmons, and Cooper were all district vic- tors. For a team with a small number of athletes, the Monarchs made a dynamic showing in the district and the state. It was a show of quality athletes. With results like those achieved by the boys’ track team the saying “The more, the better” would be disproven.

Boys’ and Girls’ Track 99 Swinging into play “Experience or a lot of play- ing time? Which does Meadowbrook want?” These were the questions the coach of the J.V. Baseball team, Coach Scott Dupre, said he had to answer at the beginning of the season. With a lot of pressure to let more kids play, Coach Dupre decided to try something different this year ... he de- cided not to cut any of the twenty-five men that had come out for the team, though only twenty-three lasted the entire season. Coach Dupre admits he 100 Varsity J.V. Baseball probably wouldn’t have found some of the talent that showed up in a lot of his young lads if he had cut the team. But there is a two sided argument that goes along with the deal. Coach Dupre said, “... a lot of talented young athletes didn’t get a lot of time on the field as they could have. With approximately fourteen subs per game, hardly anybody got much playing time. Those that were better didn’t get the experience.” With all these apparent strikes against this new the- ory, including a 4-9 record, Coach Dupre thinks he'll use the same tactics next year. Coach Dupre remarked, “It hurt in the long run, but a lot got to play ... and that’s really the purpose of the J.V. team, to give experience to as many as possible. After all, the record isn’t a reflection of the talent we had. The ob- ject of the J.V. is not strictly to win... that’s the job of the varsity team.” Led by new coach Gary Hig- ginbotham, the team en- tered the season with very little varsity experience. Still, they started off sensationally with a three game winning streak against Mills Godwin, Colonial Heights and Powha- tan. Following this exciting be- ginning, the team had one close call after another, los- ing several games by only one or two runs. Stuart Dal- ton, captain of the team, was a mainstay behind the plate, setting a tempo for the team. Bobby Yates was Monarch’s statistical leader, as he led the team in batting average, hits and runs scored. Under Coach Higginboth- am’s guidance, the spirit of this young team remained fresh and alive, with team members working well to- gether and building unity for the coming year. Go for it!

The Monarchs’ — linksters started the season with only two golfers who had pre- vious varsity experience since four of the top five golfers from the 1981 State Championship team had graduated. During pre-sea- son, the Monarchs were pre- dicted to finish in the middle of the pack in area golf cir- cles. However, they proudly responded by winning the Richmond Golf Association Prep Tournament against the top eighteen teams from the area. The Monarchs finished the season with a second place in the district tourna- ment anda third place in the regional tournament.

They made definite progress with team and individual recognition. Combining Coach Sutton’s supervision and the team’s talents, they improved them- selves and the golf program. Driving range?

With this triumph under their belts, they traveled to the re- gional tournament against Bluestone which, unfortu- nately, they lost 6-1. Howev- er, they should be applauded for being the first girls’ soft- ball team that MBK has sent to the regionals. Coach Lee’s pre-season goal was to win the district. She felt, ““We have the abili- ties and talents to win the district.” The team’s main concern was to defeat Bird, a county strong-hold. The team started the season off properly with a 4-3 victory over Bird. It was six straight victories for the team before Easter Vacation when the Monarchs fell to Powhatan with a double-header.

Cindy Kirk observed, ‘‘We had a great season this year. The fan support was good, especially at the Bird game. The fans lifted our spirits with their support. But we could always use more. It makes a difference.’” An- other player added, ‘It felt great being on top! We ap- preciated the district title more because we had played under a lot of pressure all season.” The Lady Monarchs struck up a winning spirit along with their victories. The team chalked up their mark on the field with their playing abili- ties. The team moved up, capturing the district title and shooting for the region- al.

Through many hours of grueling practice, the team, led by co-captains Steve Campbell, Tim Jones, and David Latham, proved that it could make up for losses due to graduation by playing ag- gressive, hard-nosed soccer and by giving up goals spar- ingly, if at all. The team dem- onstrated that soccer is ac- tion- packed and enjoyable to watch, as more fans came to see the Monarchs do bat- tle.

This togetherness, along with a variety of fund raising activi- ties, was responsible for raising $15,000 to purchase the van for Mike. In addition, each club had its own treasuries to keep full. Events like the tug-of-war pro- vided the History Club with money. For the publications, money was a necessity. The Sceptre Staff and the Debate and Forensics Team provided the Heights of Grass, and the bluegrass fans provided the yearbook with funds. The list of activities goes on and on.

Here’s to you! Ernest Gunzsberg, a German- American of a Nazi concentration camp, spoke of his pride to be an American, expects a plaque of appreciation from Tommy Terry for making the first Citizenship Day a SC success. GPUS Ee tas ee Be Os Re eS ee a) 8 Re ee Better than ever While most clubs were oriented to a specialized interest group, the Student Cooperative Association was “of the students, by the students, and for the students.” The year was filled with many interesting, informative, and sometimes informal events sponsored by the “school’s club.’’ As the year progressed, it was apparent that the organization was not limited to its sixty- nine elected members, but extended to the entire student body which it represented. As in previous years, the S.C.A. spon- sored Freshman Orientation, the Ba- nana Eat, and the Christmas Food Drive, and provided toy-stuffed stockings for the Trainable Mentally Retarded stu- dents at Hening Middle School. A high- ly successful blood drive, the Second Annual Air Band Contest, and the Miss Meadowbrook Pageant were also part of their impressive list of activities. Another characteristic of the year was the unusual number of ‘‘firsts.’’ As sponsor Mrs. Linda Davidson com- mented, ‘Because of the dedication and hard work of the officers and many members, the S.C.A. accomplished more and served the school better than in any year that I’ve worked with S.C.A.”” A pint a day keeps the doctor away At the blood drive, sponsored by the SCA, Stuart Dalton re- laxes as the nurse draws blood from his arm. These “firsts” included the Orientation Dance at which hundreds of students danced the night away to the tunes by Q-94’s radio personality Steve Kelley. Also included in this group were a con- cert by the United States Air Force Band, Students of the Week, and the “Sprit Spectacular” held during Home- coming Week activities. During the Citizenship Day assembly, Mr. Ernest Gunzsberg, a German-American, spoke of his days in a Nazi concentration camp and of his pride in being an American citizen. Later in November, quadriplegic Tony Lineberry told astunned audience of students and faculty of spinal cord injuries and of his own crippling acci- dent. The spirit generated at this assem- bly gave life to the idea of purchasing a van for junior Mike Morris that had originated with a few students and Mr. Buchanan in the fall. From there, a meeting of all clubs was called at which a goal of $15,000 for a van was set. The S.C.A. spear-headed the fund- raising for Mike’s van. Sponsoring the Christmas Dance, they set the ball in motion and followed up in April with a school-wide carnival under the guid- ance of Mrs. Laura Cathers. In coopera- tion with the Media Club, the Mike Morris Telethon, under Ms. Silvestre’s direction, was aired on the local access channel of Chesterfield Cablevision. Finally, May 28 arrived. The idea that began in the fall, harnessed the energy of students, faculty, and community members, then culminated in Mike Morris Van Day. During that memora- ble assembly, President Tommy Terry captured the essence of everyone’s feelings when he said, “The way we pulled together as a school made the whole year, ... Mike Morris has done more for Meadowbrook than we have done for him. He gave us a reason to pull together.” As Mike was presented the customized van on that special day, students truly felt part of one commu- nity. Because of its exceptional leadership, the S.C.A. gave a new direction and purpose to the school: a united feeling of “us.’” The two marquis on the front lawn funded by the S.C.A. will stand as constant reminders of an unforgettable year and of the club that served the stu- dent body with distinction. Munching out!! Before the Christmas break, the SCA had a Christmas Party full of goodies. Danny Brooks pigs out on all of the cookies and cakes. Come and get it! Debbie Randall dishes out the food at the refreshment stand for all of the hun- gray students during the SCA Christmas Party. SS: Aves “Best Club” says it all Although all of the clubs were excep- tionally active, one stood out from the rest. The Keyettes contributed much time in solving other people’s problems in their work for the school and com- munity. As a result of their hard work the Keyettes received The Club of the Year Award which was presented at the Academics Assembly. After new members were accepted in September, the total Keyette member- ship was brought to forty-five. These hard-working girls often met in the cafeteria after school or during the ten minute break. At these times activities were planned such as visiting area churches and holding fund raisers. As with any club, fund raising was im- portant, but so was the way the money was to be spent. The Keyettes not only contributed over $600 to the Mike Morris Fund, but also sponsored a child in Santiago, Chile, and “adopted” four grandparents. Dues to the International Keyette Club were paid as was a dona- tion to the National Keyette Scholarship Fund. During Spirit Week, the club sold twelve thousand, six hundred ‘‘spirit links’’, helping to add to the excitement of the week. At Halloween, patients in five local hospitals received candy anda dose of friendly cheerfulness.

In addition, in February, when many students wondered how they were going to let that special someone know their true feelings, the Keyettes were there to help out by sell- ing Valentine carnations. Onand on goes the list of the accom- plishments which were the trademark of this active club. As sponsor Mrs. Chambers remarked, “We are the best club! What more can be said?” More than just a little fizz Why shouldn’t you take drugs? What is sex? Should you take a drink if your’re offered one? How would you answer these questions to fifth grade students? The SODA Program (Students Orga- nized to Develop Attitudes) are trained to know how to answer questions like these and many more.

Five elementary schools — Hening, Beulah, Falling Creek, Bens- ley, and Hopkins — were visited by four teams each. The purpose of the visits to the fifth grade classes was to help devel- op attitudes to set high moral standards, to provide arole model for fifth graders, to help the students to build confi- dence in themselves and their abilities, and to keep interest in the school. The topics of discussion were choo- sen by the SODA members and the teachers of the elementary students. Divorce, drugs, responsibility, decision- making, careers, alcoholism were among the topics most talked about. The two-year old program was brought to Meadowbrook from Mr. Barret in Henrico. Mrs. Linda Davidson, sponsor of SODA, commented, ‘‘It is so very important to have contact with fifth graders. They look up to the SODA members and want to be like them. This is an extraordinarily worthwhile program that benefits everyone in- volved, including the SODA members, as well as the fifth grade elementary stu- dents.” Say What? Gayle Crank confused about the rib- bons for the carnations asked for assistant from Desireé Barnett. So many flowers.

Keyettes S.O.D.A. 115 Old club learns new tricks Since there were so many duplicate members in both the Key Club and the Hi-Y, and the clubs’ goals were very si- miliar, it was decided that the Key Club would be absorbed into the Hi-Y. The change proved to be successful. Under the direction of Mr. Steve Madison, the club was very active, sponsoring a Halloween Dance, fall and spring picnics at Forest Hill Park, a camping trip to Pocahontas State Park, a camping trip to Pocahontas State Park, and swim trips to the YMCA. In addi- tion, Hi-Y helped around the school by painting the trash cans in the football field area. Furthermore, the Hi-Y was an active participant in fund raising for Mike Morris. Through its efforts, the club raised approximately $200.00 in all. Hi- Y’s sponsorship of a car show for the Mike Morris Carnival was a big hit, earn- ing $80.00. Also the members contrib- uted their time and effort to help Mike Morris by participating in a softball game between the Hi-Y members and the radio personalities from Q-94. The final score was 9-6, with Hi-Y emerging as the winner! The main purpose of the year was achieved by the Hi-Y, to become more active in school. Said club President George Fuller, “I feel that Hi-Y has achieved our goal and served its pur- pose 100 percent.” Commitment to Christian Goals The main objective of the thirty-six girls and six brother members was to create, maintain and extend throughout the home, school, and community the high standards of Christian character. Invitations for new members was held at St. Augustine’s Catholic Church on the first Sunday when Tri-Hi-Y attend- ed as a formal club. The serious ritual was followed by a lighter touch at West- ern Sizzlin for the initiation dinner. Sev- eral other Sundays during the year the club attended various area churches such as Beulah Methodist Church and Branch’s Baptist Church. In offering their services to the school, Tri-Hi-Y members acted as guides for the annual ‘College Night.” They also sponsored a Sadie Hawkins Dance in March, the proceeds of which benefitted senior member Wendy Inge in the form of a $150 college scholar- ship. In addition, Tri-Hi-Y helped other clubs with their projects. They supplied the bake sale goods for the donors of the SCA-sponsored Blood Drive, sold refreshments at the Christmas Dance and contributed to the Mike Morris Fund. At the Mike Morris Carnival, the club offered marriage certificates and wed- ding photos — for fun, of course — to young couples in love. In addition, to the delight of parents and children alike, they painted youngsters faces as clowns and sold balloons shaped as dogs, bees, and mice. Janet Zaidel, a Tri- Hi-Y member who participated in the day’s events stated, “It was alot of work, but it was fun and well worth it.” By visiting young patients at the Crip- pled Children’s Hospital and supplying food for needy families at Thanksgiving, the organization ful-filled their Christ- mas goal of serving the community. In evaluating Tri-Hi-Y performance Suzanne Carter commented, ‘There was alot of work and effort that went into the year’s activities. The whole club took part, and it was a very successful year.” Starting Over! Marriage always seems to be better the second time as the couple repeats their vows by “Preacher” Debbie Randall at the Mike Morris Carnival. 116 TRI-HI-Y HI-Y Hi-Y Laying George Fuller (President), Chris Bar- ney (Treasurer), Seated Rhonda Meadows, Vicky Ellis, Kelly Wills, Erin Simms, Teresa Campbell, Robin Johnson, Lisa Beck, Gayle Grank, Melinda Harvey, Michael Meadows, Kim Martin, Mary Ann Daniels Standing Mr. Steve Madison (Spon- sor), Mark Wilkerson, Tommy Terry, Joe Lee, Dan- ny Brooks, Mike Tennebaum, Jordan Brady, Keith Thorton, Venson Wallin, Jay Mahone, Steve Campbell, John Taylor, Scott LeGrand, Jeff James, William Houtz, Scott Wagner (Social Director), Jimmy Lilly, Vance Fuller not pictured Scott Sha- piro (Vice President), Todd Tiller (Sargeant-at- Arms), James Stafford (Secretary), Mike Andrews (Historian), Ehab Elnahal, Mike Gordon, Jimmy Hendrick (Chaplin), Bill Whittenbraker, Mike Louth, Desiree Barnette, Susan Sprouse, Julie Northcut, Dana Peake, Lynne Price.

The time, 12:58 p.m., two minutes to show time — LIVE on Channel 3, Chesterfield Cable. The six- teen members of the Vocal Ensemble feel the butterflies in their stomachs as they warm up to sing ‘You'll Never Walk Aone” and “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother,’”’ the opening numbers for the Mike Morris Telethon. This perfor- mance set the inspirational tone for a day that would be remembered by many. In addition to this special perfor- mance, the members of the ensemble sang at the Chesterfield Nursing Home and performed at the dinner of the Sec- retaries Association for Chesterfield. The forty-two members of Mixed Choir along with the Vocal Ensemble held their annual Christmas and Spring Con- certs. They also gave a moving perfor- mance at the baccalaureate services at the Southside Church of the Nazarene as well as graduation. Honors were bestowed on both group and individual choir members.

Tim remembered, “participating in Honor Choir and All-State were great learning experiences.” ‘Honors Choir was harder and required extensive preparation but competing in All-State was challenging because it meant being one of three students out of forty-five regional competitors to be selected.” With their successful TV appearance, memorable performances at school and in the community, the Vocal Ensemble and Mixed Choir demonstrated the versatility and talent of the choral pro- gram. Raising an active stage “All the world is a star.’” Although this adage is not always true, many stars were born in our auditorium for the Thespian troupe 664. Not everyone who participated in the three plays produced this year were Thespians, but the majority either al- ready were members or became mem- bers at an initiation held in February at The Celebrity Room. Six members were inducted into the organization. Before their initiation at the Celebrity Room, the initiates were required to perform several duties. On one day they were required to dress as a character from a play assigned to them. Old members SE ORB ELE! AEB = Se .

After the group had inducted its new members, it was ready to plan fund rais- ing activities, not only for the club itself but also for the Mike Morris fund. Its fund raising for the Mike Morris Fund took place at the carnival, where the Thespians maintained four boothes. These included a dart throw (the most popular of the four), a carmel apple sale, a Root Beer Chug, and Horse rides. In all, the club took in well over $100.00 for the Mike Morris fund. To build up their own treasury, the members held a bake sale. The club members voted on the an- nual awards for best actor and best ac- tress as well as the new award for best technical aid. The winners chosen were senior Johnny West, best actor; junior Shawn Stockwell, best actress; and sen- ior Mark Jervis, best technical aid. Thespians participation in Home- coming was a walking float with mem- bers dressed as clowns, their theme be- ing ‘Clown the Colonials.” According to Jimmy Bixby, treasurer for the orga- nization, “It was a fun year for the par- ticipating members; hard work went into what we did and | think it showed.” The “maybe one day stars” or thespi- ans went outside the auditorium to pro- duce an active year for themselves as well as others and succeeded in putting a little “star” in everyone who was con- nected with them.

Choirs Thespians 119 Winner Takes All One fall day it seemed to be a typical drowsy Monday morning until the sounds of trumpets blaring, drums drumming and woodwinds screeching, blasted from the courtyard. To any nor- mal student walking to class, it appeared that the members of the Marching Band had gone “‘nuts.”, “peanuts” that is. They must be crazy to be in full dress unifrom at 7:30 a.m. on a Monday morning. This bizzare display aroused the curi- osity of Mr. Buchanan. When he en- tered the courtyard he was surprised by John Stimis, the drum major, as he handed “Mr. B” a first place trophy from the Peanut Festival. This was their first taste of victory in six years and in- spired the band to seek out more suc- cess. The Marching Band members had an active year traveling all over the state. It was well worth the time and effort as the many hours that they brought home proved. When they journeyed to Wil- liamsburg for the Christmas parade and to Urbana for the Oyster Festival, they took second place at each event.

They finished the season in nearby Richmond at the spring Azalea Festival, where they took a first place. The expense for traveling to all these festivals had to be raised by the members. Fund raisers such as sell- ing candy and raffles were organized to defray the costs. Being a member of the Marching Band was not all fun and games, much hard work, school spirit and devotion were evident. After attending these fes- tivals, band member Denise Hale com- mented “I love it (the band), it’s great. After you put in the hardwork, you get it all back through the audience!” Pam Smith stated “it is a lot of fun, but it takes hours of practice to have the fun,” and practiced is what they did. If you drove by the school in early August from eight a.m. to twelve noon, you’d see the band rehearsing formations on the front lawn until they were perfect. They didn’t stop there! When school started they practiced everyday after school from two to four o'clock. As John Stimis summed up the year, ‘we had a few problems at first with prac- tices but we gradually built things up and came together.” You deserve a break tonight. . .

Marching Band 121 Bands provide large variety Blues, Ragtime, Bop and free form all are a part of jazz. In the Stage Band the members learned the fundamentals of playing all these forms of jazz. The Stage Band became familar with the styles of such musicians as Duke Ellington and Louie Armstrong on such instruments as the piano, trumpet, trombone, saxo- phone and drums. Jazz Lab was more advanced than Stage Band. To be in Jazz Lab, a student had to audition, hoping to be accepted into the class of twelve to fifteen mem- bers. The specture of music the mem- bers played ranged from swing to melo- dies and from “easy listening’”’ to dance. During the year both groups partici- pated in area competitions. They at- tended the Jazz Lab Festival at Man- chester High School where the two bands received superior ratings. Jazz Lab also performed in the Fine Arts Fes- tival at Moncan High School where it also received a superior rating. In add- tion, they both performed for the Mike Morris Carnival and Telethon, as well as playing for the English classes through out the year. The season culminated in the spring when Stage Band and Jazz Lab held their annual concert. Under the directorship of Miss Thel- ma Loehr the two groups have thrived but she gave the credit for their excel- lence to the man who first directed them Mr. L. M. Minnigh. Miss Loehr commented, “It was an easy year for me because of the way he prepared them their attitude and willingness to work with me is a tribute to Mr. Min- nigh.” Orchestra front row Jimmy Chenoweth, Glenn Duane, Philip Clare, Chris Wittenbraker, Dale Hunt back row Jennifer Wood, Laura Benford, Pam Jenkins, Tammy Bradley, Tammy Benson, George Fidler, Greg Debruyn, Jay Forehand, Mrs. Brend Johnson. 122 Bands Orchestra Wanting to explore about their own talents, the Music Theory class, met ev- eryday, under the direction of Mr. Binns.

In its place an active media center has emerged where students can enjoy recreational reading, ask questions, do research and chat with friends, in addition to doing some quiet studying. Mrs. Carolyn Beard and Ms. Sandra Silvestre aided by their clerk Mrs. Jackie Kaye and student aides kept the wheels of this resource center turning. Their services ranged from helping students to find information for research and good books for reading to planning TV productions for broadcast over cable television. Library aides interested in learning more about the dynamics of a library joined the Library Club. They met to discuss ways to improve library media services and to plan visits to other li- braries and media facilities. In addition, to working together, the club held pic- nics in the fall and spring as well as en- joyed a Christmas party. They also took Seasons Greetings!!

Members met informally once a week with Ms. Silvestre and dis- cussed video assignments, techniques and new equipment. After receiving training in the operation of the school’s black and white camera and video cas- sette recorder, members videotaped during and after school such activities as sporting events (basketball, wrestling), class projects (news shows and inter- Library Club front row: Ruth Chesher, Tim Em- ery, Beth Barlow, Johnny West, Gail Keene, Carl Pedroil. back row: Ms. Silvestre, Bang Dao, Willie Smith, Hugh Crumpler, Charlie Antrom, Daryl McCauley, Mrs. Kaye, Ricky Wilmoth, John Dra- views), drama plays and assemblies. The highlight of the year for the Me- dia Club was to participate in the Mike Morris Telethon. The media members were the backbone of this five and one- half hours show that aired on Chester- field Cable. The behind the scenes ef- forts involved six months of video taping all the activities that were held to raise money for Mike and operating the television camera “live” from the studio the day of the Telethon. The club’s dedication and enthusiasm for video was instrumental in persuading the school to purchase its own color port-a- pak camera and video recorder.

Everyday during sixth period, room 300 affectionately called ‘‘the yearbook room” was the scene of frantic activity by the editor and staffers of the six- teenth edition of the Sceptre. Drawing layout and writing copy, taking pictures and meeting deadlines were some of the many activities performed by staff members. For a few devoted members of the yearbook staff, the 1:50 bell on June 14th did not ring dismissal. While most students were swimming and getting that golden tan at the beach, playing softball at the park or cruising Broad Street with friends, the yearbook staff was still at work re-writing stories, se- lecting and cropping pictures, drawing that final layout, and tying up loose ends. Working with new sponsor, Ms. San- dra Silvestre, meant some adjustments had to be made by all involved. After everyone got used to each other it was smooth sailing. Editor Jimmy Bixby in his third year of leadership was unceasing in his drive to get the job done, and to get it done well. Jimmy remarked, “Getting all the work to printable form was tough, but seeing it this way was worth all the effort’. Sceptre members wore out the pavement by soliciting ads from local businesses. These efforts were rewarded by bringing in $1200 in ad sales. In other fund raising activities, the Sceptre staff co-sponsored the Heights of Grass Concert, sold old yearbook photos at the Mike Morris Carnival, Medallion front row: Debbie Mitchell (News Edi- tor), Jenni Blaine, Lee Church, Ashley Bland. back row: Jon Stonestreet, Gary Hess, Anne Bruce, voted to donate 50¢ from each year- book to the Mike Morris Fund and pre- sented a slide show on the Mike Morris Telethon. In November, several staff members and sponsors attended a yearbook workshop at the University of Virginia, staffers learned many valuable skills and still found time to enjoy themselves. The Annual yearbook slide show “You in ‘82” was held on March 29, and was well received by all who attended. Mr. Buchanan summarized everyones’ feelings by stating at its conclusion, “That's the best slide show we've ever had — everyone was represented.” The year had indeed been filled to the brim. Ms. Silvestre remarked, ‘The Sceptre Staff had its work cut out for it with an action-packed year of activities and it did aremarkable job in tying it all together in a unique way.” Making the News A long long time ago (October 25, 1963) in another galaxy, when the world was recovering from a Cuban missile crisis, dancing the twist, and gyrating with the hulahoop, Volume | of the newspaper was born. In 1982, Volume XVII of the Medallion was still going strong. This publication continued to concentrate on news of interest to an everychanging population. Over the years, sports, student opin- ion, news articles, editorials, special fea- tures such as the comedy of ‘Mr. Fo- gerty,” and the latest gossip made up Kathy Mitchell, Norman Campbell. Not pictured: Mr. Rooney (sponsor). the basic format of the newspaper. A popular addition was the song dedica- tions. For 25¢, students were given the opportunity to choose a song title that expressed their feelings about that spe- cial someone. Under the sponsorship of Mr. Jackie Rooney, the Medallion expanded its publications by one issue, bringing the total to five newspapers for the year. The fifth issue was a special, “The Sen- iors’ Last Will and Testament.” In addi- tion to the expansion, the Medallion increased its ad campaign by forty per- cent. Even with a busy schedule, Medallion members found time to participate in the Mike Morris Carnival. They raised $143.00 by providing video games and selling 7-UP. This money was added to their earlier donation to the Mike Mor- ris Fund of 5¢ from every newspaper sold from the Christmas issue. Congratulations went out to an indi- vidual staff member, Dwight Rackley, As a reporter, he was one of ten Rich- mond area students who received a journalism award from the Richmond News Leader. In nearly two decades, the Medallion has covered topics from national catas- trophes such as the assassination of President Kennedy to joyful events closer to home such as the day Mike Morris was given his van.

For the student newly entering the working world, IWE | is designed as a preparation for adult responsibilities. This course teaches pre-employment information, employer-employee rela- tionships, self-analysis, family relation- ships and money management. Upon completion of this program, the stu- dent receives one credit for outside work classroom instruction and one credit for outside work. This year, a total of 23 IWE | students earned $52,671.75. Class activities included a demonstra- tion of fire-fighting equipment by Ran- dy Wells and a demonstration of com- puters by Dave Mock. Mrs. Margaret Lao, |WE | coordinator said, “More students completed the program this year and had more success in keeping their jobs.” IWE Il is a more advanced level of in- dustrial work experience. It focused on the practice of successful work activi- ties. Subjects covered in IWE Il included pre-employment, employable skills, human relations, productivity evalua- tions, and self-awareness. Mr. Lewis, the WE II coordinator stat- ed, ‘This was the most productive work group | have ever worked with, accu- mulating over $73,252.94 earnings in 18,926 working hours.” The annual Employer Employee Ban- quet was held in May at the Meadow- brook Country Club. The Student of the Year Award went to Keith Aldridge. Said Keith, “IWE has helped me under- stand my own business, which gave me the opportunity to put to use what I’ve learned.” John Hardie, in his second year as an IWE coordinator feels that he has “grown into the program” as a result of his experience with IWE, he related ‘I am more aware of the ramifications of employment, and am very impressed with employers who go out of their way to take one of our students as an em- ployee.” It’s the real thing Want to arrange your school schedule around your work schedule? COE (Co- operative Office Education) may allow you to do just that. Students who want to go to school while receiving on-the- job training are provided with credit to- ward graduation while earning money in a vocational occupation of their choice. Under the direction of Mrs. Evelyn Avery, Mrs. Barbara Tucker, and Mrs. Carol Davies, the COE classes taught ac- counting, shorthand, and clerical typ- ing. The three coordinators provided speakers from the F.B.I. and C P Tele- phone Company to discuss job position and salaries. The COE program is not all work and no play.

In addi- tion, COE held a banquet on May 19th at the Swift Creek Mill Playhouse where students saw the production of “Mame”. Another favorite of COE was the traditional senior breakfast at Aunt Sarah’s Pancake House. At this time, su- pervisors and principals met with stu- dents to say their ““good-byes”’. At the Mike Morris Carnival, COE members were able to donate $80.00 to the fund after sponsoring such games as the toss-a-coin. Mrs. Davies commented that COE was “a terrific group of students.

GOEAINGE 129 Selling the whole bill of goods Retailing and merchandising are the major concerns of the Distributive Edu- cation Clubs of America, otherwise known as DECA. DECA’s purpose, to teach marketing to students, includes developing social awareness, leadership abilities, and vocational understanding. These skills are taught through social and vocational projects and activities. Each year the DECA clubs of the local schools have a contest to promote skill in sales demonstrations. This contest originally started at the local level and has now progressed to state and nation- al levels. Learning how to use a sales pitch was only the beginning for the students who took distributive education under Mr. Ronald Fitch. He taught valuable job skills such as how to sell items, go on job interviews, and make good impres- sions. In other activities, the members of DECA entered a float in the Homecom- ing Parade, took food to the Chester- field Nursing Home at Thanksgiving and donated the first $100 to the Mike Mor- ris Fund. $400 was donated in all from the distributive education department to the Mike Morris Fund. In addition, officers of DECA attend- ed a workshop in leadership training at VCU. They also participated in a com- mercial contest promoting DECA at the fall Jamboree held at Clover Hill. Two students, Bobby Moseley and Paula Re- dell, received special recognition at the spring banquet. They were each select- ed the Student of the Year from their distributive education classes. When asked to sum up activities for the year, Mr. Fitch replied, “This year has been the most active year for mem- bership involvement in DECA, and I’m looking forward to a better year next year.” Working, it’s the real thing Job interviews, applications, personal budgets, banking, safety on the job, in- surance, individual trades and commu- nication with others were just a few of the skills that students in the Industrial Cooperative Training Program (ICT) ac- quired. Under the direction of Ms. Gayle 130 VICA DECA Babcock and Mr. John Hardie, this pro- gram was designed for eleventh and twelfth graders to meet their special needs and interests. Students spent half of the day in school and the other half in on-the-job training. When going out into the field, Ms. Babcock’s highest priority for her students is that they are able ‘to get along with co-workers, bosses and people in general”. Active ICT students formed the core of VICA (Vocational Industrial Clubs of America). Some of their activities in- cluded entering a float entitled “Char the Colonials” in the Homecoming Pa- rade, and participating in the District Leadership Skills Olympics where Tim Leimberger received a second place in the poster competition and Victor Fer- rell placed second in current events.

A highlight of the year was the ban- quet of ICT with IWE and DE held in the spring at Meadowbrook Country Club. Personal awards were presented to Tina Williams for the ICT Student of the Year and to Jim Spencer and Tim Leimberger for Superior Job Performance.

The Future Homemakers of America was organized in February of 1964, the first year Meadowbrook was open. This organization was especially designed for Home Economics Students. Amy person having had one year of home economics or presently enrolled was eligible to join. The State Association recognizes out- standing chapters at their annual con- vention. Meadowbrook has received this recognition for seventeen years out of the nineteen years. Three State Offi- cers had been chosen to serve in the Virginia Association of Future Home- makers of America for 1982-83. Diann Dickenson, will serve as the State Vice President. FHA’s fund raising activities consisted of a bake sale for the Mike Morris Fund which produced $75.00, a float in the Homecoming Parade, a M M candy sale, and the Tang and Doughnuts sales two mornings a week before school. In December, the club held the annual Christmas Tea and Bazaar which fea- tured craft items and baked goods made in the Home Economics Department. The Current Sale was a campaign drive which started with a “kick off” meeting. Prizes were awarded to the three high- est sales people.

The theme was the ‘Fascinating Red Rose”, which is the chapter flowers. Junior and Chapter degrees were awarded, and Karen Nash and Diann Dickenson received the State Homemakers Degree. Robin Lips- comb was recognized as outstanding member for 1981-82. The banquet closed with the impressive installation ceremony of new officers. One of the sponsors of FHA, Mrs. Narice Bowman, commented “This has been an out- standing year for FHA, having won rec- ognition on a Chapter, Federation and State level. This can be attributed to the enthusiasm and hard work of most of the officers and members of the club.” The Family Living Course sponsored a mock-wedding between two students, Mike Meadows and Nita Burns, for the Home Economics Department. The en- tire cast was made up of students from this class. The purpose of the activity was to give students the experience and responsibilty of planning an entire wed- ding.

The wedding was video- taped, and was used at the Conference of the Virginia Media Specialists. It was presented as information showing how real life situations are incorporated into the high school curriculum. The FHA members worked to pro- mote good family relations. Members learned how to start family councils to discuss family problems and plans. They also learned how to budget and spend money wisely. The main objectives of the Future Homemakers of American was to help members improve personal, family, and community living. More than just taking a letter Nowadays becoming a secretary in- volves more than just taking a letter. The forty-four members of FBLA try to better themselves through leadership and development of business skills. All that is required to join the club is to have one year of a business class or be presently enrolled. FBLA (Future Busi- ness Leaders of America) is an national organization for students interested in business opportunities. It provides edu- cation for career oriented students. A highlight of the year was the Re- gional FBLA Convention in Colonial Heights. Here members participated in conferences and skills competitions. At this convention, Jeri Back placed first in the Stenography | competition. This al- lowed her to compete on state and na- tional levels. Congratulations to Jeri for placing tenth in the National Competi- tion! In the other activities, at the Mike Morris Carnival members sold fortune cookies, candy apples, and set up a rain- bow game. In May, a picnic was held at Pocahontas State Park. Melody Daniel, a member of FBLA commented; “I enjoyed my member- ship in FBLA during this year. It is a very worthwhile organization.” F.H.A.

A club incorporates all of this equip- ment. It is very difficult to become a member. One must do exceedingly well in the mechanical drawing class, and be asked by “invitation only” to join A.1.A.S.A., Association of Industrial Arts Students of America, otherwise known as the Mechanical Drawing Club. At Christmas, the group sponsored a door decorating contest which allowed homerooms to display their holiday spirit. The members also decorated two showcases to add a touch of color to the halls. The showcase which is located in the three-hundred hall was filled with photographs of Virginia Tech, which were taken by Mr. Sterling Hawkins, the club sponsor. Another showcase locat- ed near the office was decorated for Christmas with the slogan “From Our House to Yours”. All of this was done as part of a promotion of the door deco- rating contest. In March, members of A.1.A.S.A. par- ticipated in an exhibition at Monacan High School, in which members dis- played some of the work which they had been completing throughout the school year. In order to raise funds, A.1.A.S.A. sold spirit ribbons before every football game. The money earned was used to finance a trip to King’s Dominion, where the members again displayed their work. At the Mike Morris Carni- val, in April, they set up a booth of pop- ular video games including Pac-Man. They also sold tickets to the Swift Creek Mill Playhouse and donated the profits from these two events to the Mike Morris Fund. It was a busy year for the ten “‘invita- tion only” members.

The electrifying silence was broken only by a player’s triumphant cry of “CHECK- MATE” when his strategy had proven successful. Traditionally, chess has been consid- ered a male-dominated game, invented to keep peace among men and coun- tries; more recently, women have in- vaded this game of warfare and demon- strated their prowess in strategic moves. When the question was direct- ed to William Bolander, President, con- cerning his attitude toward women in the club, he replied, “No problem! If she can play, she can play.

Kappa Omega Phi, the formal name of the History Club, studied the past in order to un- derstand the present and to anticipate the future. Under the leadership of sponsor Joel Dexter, the club met once a month in room 205. Traditionally the member- ship is kept between twenty and twen- ty-five people. This year there were twenty-three students in the club; four- teen seniors, five juniors, three sopho- mores, and one freshman. In order to become amember, written applications and interviews took place in the fall and spring. The prospective members had to have an overall B average and an A or B in social studies class. For initiation the members had to dress like historical fig- ures for one day. The first activity was a Citizenship Day Assembly, held in Sep- tember. Kappa Omega Phi performed a skit called ‘The Battle of the North and South” which told the story about the conflict between the states, with the deep physical and emotional scars that were created when trying to patch up the country. Their next historical event was sponsoring the mock gubernational election in October. There were many fund-raising activities such as selling doughnuts, selling tickets for the final competition of the Battle of the Brains and selling poinsettias at Christmas for the Mike Morris Fund. Fund-raisers culminated in the spring when the sophomores reigned victori- ously in the tug of war competition. The profit from all these activities were split up between the Mike Morris Fund, the club, the spring trip and next year’s treasury. In addition, they showed extra effort in contributing two booths to the Mike Morris Carnival. Not only did they organize a cake walk, but they collabor- ated with the yearbook staff, encourag- ing people to have their photographs taken in old costumes. They provided a brief slide show of their Williamsburg trip in the Mike Morris telethon, as well as, contacted businesses to ask for do- nations. Mr. Dexter remarked, ‘There was almost 100% (many times 100%) cooperation in all fund-raising activi- ties.” Mr. Samuel J.T. Moore, Jr., one guest speaker of the history club, spoke to the fourth period social studies classes on the life of George Washing- ton. He also donated his book Guide to Civil War sites in Richmond, to the school’s library. All of the members agreed that the History Club, by its ac- tive participation numerous fund rais- ers, and cooperation among them- selves, had made a significant contribu- tion to school spirit, as well as to its his- tory. Bringing the far-away near Once every month, the Foreign Lan- guage Club brought the flavor of far away countries closer to home. Mem- bership to the club was open to anyone taking a language or interested in learn- ing about other countries. The activities for the year were kicked off with the entry of a float in the Homecoming Parade. In October, phone-a-grams (candy grams) were sold for Halloween. During the holiday sea- son, the club collected canned goods for the Chesterfield-Colonial Heights Christmas Committee Food Baskets and sponsored a party for the special educa- tion students at Hening School. In ad- dition, the members spread Christmas cheer throughout the halls by caroling in four different languages. In January, the club honored “The Day of the Dead and Day of Kings” with a party. On Valentine’s Day, members of the club carried messages to students and teachers in four different lan- guages. In May, at a show-and-tell day, members shared itmes from foreign countries with others in the group. The biggest event of the year was the Foreign Language Week. A different ac- tivity was planned for each day, includ- ing a tee shirt and button day, an assem- bly day for interviewing foreign ex- change students, a film festival, and a volleyball tournament. In addition, the cafeteria was the scene of a switch from American cuisine to foreign extrava- ganza. For the family and friends of the club, the annual international banquet was held with the French, Spanish, Lat- in, and German students preparing a dish of food representing their coun- tries. A folk dance followed, complete with students dressed in native cos- tumes providing the entertainment. Ev- eryone joined in and had a great time. The purpose of the club — to reach out a helping hand to someone in a for- eign country, to promote world peace, to try to spotlight the importance of taking a language,and to make other cultures real and exciting was certainly accomplished. In a concluding statement, Debbie Dillard commented, ‘As President for the second year, I’ve noticed change; but the one thing that stayed the same was the hard work and support by members and sponsors that helped pro- mote the purpose of the club. The group was extremely large with 59 members anxious to work and make things happen.” What’s my line?

The solemn procession of blue-robed students carrying lighted candles into the darkened gymnasium created the impression of judges entering a court- room to make a momentous decision. The reason for this dignified gathering was the annual installment of new members into the National Honor Soci- ety. Under the direction of Mrs. Smith, new members were tapped took the of- ficial oath. Parents, friends and students were invited to attend the ceremony, followed by a reception in the library for old and new members and their quests. Membership into this group is the highest academic honor that can be bestowed upon a high school junior or senior. National Honor Society, under the directorship of the National Associ- ation of Secondary School Principals, was founded in 1921. The society is rec- ognized nationally and being a member gives seniors a strong recommendation for the college of their choice. College scholarships are awarded each year to top ranking senior members. In order to be tapped as a member, a student had to conform to the national requirements of scholarship, leader- ship, character and service. A 3.4 grade average, participation in four member- ship activities, and teachers recommen- dations are vital prerequisites for mem- bership. A little fun, brains, a lot of hard work “Boards of education should have the right to ban books from public school libraries.” ‘Sex education courses should be offered in public schools.” These area few of the educational issues that were argued for and against by de- bators and forensics members.

At a Debate and Forensics Banquet, some members are initiated into the team by Mr. od 8 3h 140 N.H.S. Debate much about the opponents case as he knew about his own side. Good deba- tors studied the origin and history of a proposition, defined its terms and sur- veyed carefully all the arguments and evidence for and against it. Because of the intelligence required to successfully debate, many people might think that the forensics and de- bate team members would be “brains” who thought only of school work and getting good grades. This was not the case. The members also enjoyed com- peting because it meant that they would have fun meeting new people. Students in the upper two-thirds of their class who was willing to commit themselves was accepted into the team and given the opportunity to ‘prove’ themselves. A total of thirty-six students devoted much time and effort in order to develop into skilled debators and public speakers. The Forensics Society met on Tuesdays and the Debate Team met on Wednesdays. Both met every day when preparing for a tournament. Besides the hours of research, the team’s activities centered around the tournaments, which were held in col- leges around the state including George | Mason, Virginia Military Institute, James | Madison, Edison, University of Rich- mond, Longwood, and University of Virginia. The team also competed in the Greater Richmond Debate League, hosted two debates and one speech tournament here during the months of December and January. Although there were numerous awards at the various competitions, sev- eral members of the team advanced to compete at the state level. These par- ticipants were Tricia Workman, Beth Childress, Deshaun Nolley, Mike Winkler, Patty Wells, David Lohr, Laura Ehret, and Robbie Howe. In the Virginia High School League Forensics Tourna- ment, Deshaun Nolley placed first in POpeeeeeeeyeryeyys Boy’s Extemporaneous Speaking and Beth Childress received a third place for switchside speaker. Like all other organizations, the team needed money, and lots of it! The ex- penses of entry fees, traveling, and lodging required by the team to attend the tournaments were financed by a yard sale, doughnut sale, and M M sales; as well as by co-sponsoring a con- cert by the Heights of Grass. Of course, it wasn’t all work and no play. The Society held an Invitation and Installation Dinner, an Awards Dessert, and enjoyed many spontaneous get-to- gethers. Even with all of the frustrations, long hours, and hard work that went into preparing for debates, the debate and forensics members agreed that under the inspiring guidance of sponsor Mrs. Helen Collins, the team had accom- plished many of its goals. Member Jeff Brown commented, ‘We had a very successful year ... even though snow cancelled two tournaments, we still managed to accumulate enough points to place ninth nationally!” The candle of truth At the National Honor Society Ceremony, Maryanne Daniels lights one of the candles for the characteristics of the organization.

Take care of today first. Seniors often plan th eir careers through- out the year, pursuing it after completing school. But George Self, entrepreneur, has been in business for four years. When he had nothing else to do, George decided to go to work. He began working in the field of property main- tenance, starting out with only a push mower, electric weedeater and extension cord, and a pick-up truck. The funny part of it all was Cutting Success George Self, entre- preneur, trims a lawn as a part of his thriving business. Profile: George Self m) Taking Care of Business that George did not even have his driver’s license at the time. George commented that he liked to work outdoors, and property maintenance provided the perfect oppor- tunity to doso. He engages in such things as snow removal and furnishing firewood. In addition, he operates a crane service for installing air com- pressors. Sophomores who are working for George are David McDowell and Mat Thompson. George’s busi- ness operates just as any oth- er including having printed business cards and _statio- nery. Today, George owns a Massey-Ferguson, 45 HP die- sel tractor, a Gravely, a gas- powered weedeater, three push mowers, and other mis- cellaneous equipment. As far as the future is concerned, George wants to continue in property maintenance, pos- sibly returning to electricity and working with his father — but, for now, George is taking care of his future ca- reer by taking care of his pre- sent business.

However, when Angela Wilmoth dressed up ina dress made by her grandmother for a fabric shop competition when she was in grade school, she was unaware that she was launch- ing a career. Angela, who is currently working on a portfolio to take to modeling agencies, works with -photographer Thomas Marvin on week- ends to complete the con- tents. One comment Angela made was that she had to take all of her wardrobe with her to the photography ses- sions because she does not know in what she would have to pose. On December 6, 1981, An- gela competed in her first modeling competition spon- sored by the Richmond Modeling Registry and Fin- ishing School Inc. This ven- ture proved to be a very suc- 146 Seniors Caught ina freeze frame cessful one for Angela. She placed second runner-up in the photography and com- mercial divisions of the pro- gram. Angela was pleased with her performance which expanded her portfolio in addition to the enjoyment of participating in the competi- tion. One unusual thing that occurred during the compe- tition was that Angela’s sixth grade teacher was in the same competition. Angela was stunned to see her teacher again after such a long period of time. Now that Angela is grown- up and about to graduate, she wants to complete her portfolio in hopes of becom- ing a model. Even though years ago dressing up was only for fun, Angela hopes that dressing up now will mold her life into that of a successful model. Don’t look back!

Operating under less dra- matic conditions, senior Beth White puts her driving skills to the test on the Amelia Kart Track. Influenced by her fa- ther’s past experiences, she has been racing for about one year, accumulating Go Kart, Go all suited up, Beth White prepares for a race in old no. 82. twenty-five trophies in her efforts. Speeding around the track in the number 82 go-kart, Beth races in the adult divi- sion consisting mostly of males, but that does not stop Beth. Determined to win, the only female in the race “put the pedal to the metal,” pull- ing out a big win over the ten men competing against her. “It was great!’” exclaimed Beth. However, along with the thrill of victory comes the ag- ony of defeat and accidents. Beth recalls once she flipped the kart at age twelve just cruising the track. She was not seriously injured, just skinned knees. And that is why when she races compe- tively, Beth wears a helmet, jacket, gloves, and some- times boots to protect her from serious injuries. For now, Beth considers go-kart racing a hobby and wants to continue after graduation. It is a serious sport in which the danger challenges the skill of the driver. Although, one false move can turn into disaster, Beth White has proven to the basically male-oriented sport that women drivers can win in the field of competitive racing. Seniors 149 Profile: Yun Lee A picture paints a thousand words, and can express the innermost feelings of the art- ist. Music, on the other hand, plays a harmony of emotions expressed by the performer. The ability to compose such works is a result of natural ability and much practice. For senior Yun Lee, this abili- ty can be applied in two as- pects of her life. Playing the piano since first grade, Yun has developed a love of music, especially clas- sical. Using this great ability and talent to further obtain her life-long goal to become a performer, Yun composes some of her music, along with giving piano lessons.

Music role in Yun’s life, for several times she was forced to quit taking piano lessons due to illness, but she always re- turned and continued to play. On one occasion, when Yun was eight years old, a pot of boiling water fell on her feet and severely burned them the day of her recital. She was taken to the hospital and her feet were heavily bandaged. However, she was able to play in the recital. ‘It was a very painful exper- ience” recalled Yun. More than anything, Yun wants to become a perform- er. She intends to go as far as she can in music education, earning a doctorate in music; in addition, she would like to teach music. In the words of the artist herself, Yun comments on her decision to pursue music as her career. “For a long time, | had to decide wheth- er to go into art or music. But to me they are both equal, and they are both a very im- portant part of my life. It is a whole different world and there are no boundaries like this so-called real world. | can express myself freely without the danger of being criticized.” Practice Makes Perfect Yun Lee demonstrates the power of concen- tration that has made her an excel- lent pianist.

Profile: Stuart Dalton The alarm blares, and throughout the station, men quickly react to its signal, putting on equipment as they rush to their vehicles. The shrill alarm signifies the warning of urgent aid to an emergency. As the trucks speed to the location of the fire, thoughts of what they must do when they arrive race through the minds of each. The blazing fire must be extinguished before ex- tensive damage is done. Firemen are people that the community greatly de- pends upon. Without them, many lives would be endan- gered by the devastating ef- fects of fire. Volunteers to this service are of great importance also. Their assistance shortens the 152 Seniors time needed to faster extin- guish a threatening fire and is especially crucial in a life-or- death situation. Stuart Dalton, a senior, isa volunteer fireman at Com- pany 11 in Chesterfield County. Stuart remarked that he spends most of his free- time at the station, but as a volunteer, he must make the decision as to whether or not to respond to a fire call. This dilemma involves a lot of dedication on the part of the volunteer. Although volun- teers, required to be at least sixteen, are not allowed to leave school in response to a call, the decision thereafter remains a personal one. Part of Stuart’s responsibil- ities include the mainte- nance of the trucks and sta- Dedication Sparks a Career tion as well as picking up after the fire. These are only minor routine duties in- volved in his service, and the emphasis is placed on saving lives. Stuart commented that a feeling of grief come over him when a life could not be saved, but it is a feeling one must get used to. Although the life of a fire- fighter portrays itself as less than glamourous, Stuart plans to pursue his career asa firefighter. Enjoying his work as a volunteer, Stuart will take a test, and, after success- ful completion, he will be able to function as a full- fledged fireman. Dressed for the occasion Garbed with helmet and _fire-repellant clothing, Stuart Dalton is ready to respond at a minute’s notice. Jeanne Marie Lohner J.V.

Since she was anxious to con- tinue this interest Tammy had taken four years of art classes at MBK. She has de- veloped a satisfying appre- ciation for the different genres of art; even though she favors the oil colors. From entering her work at such exhibitions as the Man- chester Art Show and the Summer Teen Art Show at All great artists have to begin somewhere the Carillon, Tammy can ac- count for having received fif- teen awards ranging from first to third places. Besides show competition, last year Tammy worked at the Old Dominion Printing Company as a layout artist and photog- rapher, gaining valuable, practical experience in the use of art. Wanting to make her talent a vocation, Tammy applied and was accepted at the Art Institute of Fashion in Atlanta, Georgia, from which she hopes to earn a degree in art. Dana Renee Peake J.V.

Both Gayle and Mike express themselves in an interpretative dance group, Footsteps. This group originated about two years ago and is currently under the direction of Connie Schuler who works with the dancers to convey a Christian message. Dances are choreo- graphed according to the meaning of the song and are performed with a lot of feel- ing in order to convey its context. Gayle performs in a plain white dress and Mike in black pants and a white shirt: this is to take the attention away from the dancer and place more emphasis on the message of the dance. Because the group does not charge a fee for their performances, donations are accepted from organizations and supplemented with ad- Profile: Gayle Crank Michael Meadows Follow In My Footsteps ditional income from selling greeting cards. Members of the group each save their own money in hopes to trav- el to foreign countries to perform. Footsteps is plan- ning to travel to China and Africa in the near future with another group. Gayle has been in Foot- steps for about three months and plans to continue with the group and even enter the field of dance at college. She feels that participating in the group is a good learning ex- perience for her. Mike, who has been in Footsteps for a year and a half, wants to con- tinue in the group, but does not plan to further his dance career. Truly, Footsteps gives a new dimension to the phrase “follow in my footsteps.” Lookin’ up “Footsteps” performers Mike Meadows and Gayle Crank show a gesture often used in their routines.

Most stations play con- temporary music with mod- ern tempos. But WGOE (1600 AM) is a station that relives the past by playing songs from the fifties and the six- ties. Along with the stations routine activities, WGOE has a mascot who promotes the station by visiting several places in the city Lawrence Be Boppin’ along ... Gomer the Gopher, mascot for WGOE radio alias Lawrence Tibbetts amuses on- looking fans with his cunning antics. Tibbetts, alias Gomer the Go- pher, is this mascot as well as the SCA reporter here at school. Lawrence has been work- ing at WGOE for two years. He broadcasts from 6-8:30 a.m. Outside the station, Lawrence transforms into Gomer the Gopher for pub- licity at such places as Much More and State Fairgrounds. On one occasion, Bill Dell and the Rondells were at the fairgrounds. As Gomer danced across the stage, Bill Dell picked him up and spun him until Gomer was dizzy. When Bill Dell set him back down on the stage, Gomer staggered back and forth, arousing the crowd’s inter- est, therefore promoting WGOE. Aside from the fun of be- ing mascot, Lawrence plans to enter a career in broad- casting on a business level rather than actual broadcast- ing. Although Lawrence only works part-time at WGOE, he enjoys what he is doing and takes his job seriously. Years from now, Lawrence will look back on his ““Gomer the Gopher” days and relive his past in a pleasant way just as WGOE does today. Seniors 159 Profile: Rick Chancellor Tim Robinson That’s the fact, gf JaGkeaae America has produced many great leaders through the armed services. Whether they joined voluntarily or through conscription, these leaders have led our nation to great success. Seniors Rick Chancellor and Tim Robin- son have a good chance to become one of the future leaders in this country, for both students received nominations and have ob- tained appointments to na- tional service academies. Rick and Tim wrote several letters to Congressman Thomas J. Bliley, Jr., asking for the required nomination to aservice academy, prefer- ably the United States Air Force Academy. After re- viewing all of the material submitted, Congressman Bli- ley gave Rick anomination to the Air Force Academy, and Tim a nomination to the United States Merchant Ma- rine Academy, a second al- ternate to the Air Force Academy, and an eighth al- ternate to the United States 160 Seniors Military Academy. Based on their outstanding records the United States Air Force Academy offered Rick and Tim appointments to at- tend the Academy. Both sen- iors have decided to accept the Air Force Academys’ of- fer rather than of the other offers Rick and Tim were giv- en. Rick and Tim will have a very great challenge before them when they report to the Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on June 28. They face six weeks of training and a year of harass- ment by upperclassmen. But the seniors plan to accept this exciting challenge as a step toward reaching their goals as military personnel.

So drama it was: And ever since, acting has been a great part of his life! The first play in which he participated while a student in the eight grade was ““Mountain Madness.’ “Church was sort of a con- tributor to acting also be- cause | did several Variety Shows,” says Paul. Paul has participated in many Meadowbrook Pro- ductions such as ‘The Boor”, and he was part of the tech- nical crew and Assistant Di- rector of ‘King Arthur’s Sword.” His favorite produc- tion here at Meadowbrook, Taking Time Out Taking a dramatic pose comes naturally for actor Paul Haynes. however, was the 1980 Spring Musical Production Hello Dolly. Paul played the character Rudolph. Rudolph was the Maitre de at the Har- monia Garden Restaurant in New York City. Paul com- ments that ‘the character Rudolph was somewhat like him: loud, rambunctious and curious, and wanted things doneright away. Hello Dolly, I think, was the best play that Meadowbrook has ever pro- duced. | liked the excite- ment, music, the comedy it portrayed, and | met many people and made new friends. In general it was a great show,” says Paul. The funniest experience that Paul had on stage was during a rehearsal of Hello Dolly. Paul explained, ‘We started rehearsal and all of us were in our places ready to say our lines when all of the sudden Dolly’s dress began to fall off, and it started com- ing off real fast, and | had to run across the stage and help her get into it.” Paul also has earned some small parts in plays at the Swift Creek Mill Playhouse, a local dinner theatre located on Jefferson Davis Highway in Chester. Paul has been tak- ing voice, dancing, and act- ing lessons and he had a part in the chorus of “Mame” at the Mill in the spring. Paul auditioned for the play Good News at Theatre IV, and he sang, his way to become a part of the chorus. “It is very difficult to be picked for a part in a play at Theatre IV. The auditioning goes on and on and it seems like it will never end, but | do enjoy acting in front of an au- dience, and | like to hear lots of clapping and yelling.” Through Paul’s hard work and determination he has come a long way from an eighth grade play to many outstanding productions.

Homecoming week. 170 Juniors A hub of a wheel could be used as a symbol of the school itself, as a focal point of learning. However, a hub alone does not constitute a wheel, for it must have other components before it can serve a useful purpose. Each phase of school life is repre- sented by the spokes, which are fastened to the hub and encircled by the rim, which represents the encompass- ing year of 1982. Now, follow the path of the ’82 junior ac- tivities of Meadowbrook High School as the wheel CUMS ec The clanging of the 7:40 bell ended buzzing conver- sations and sent students scurring about the halls. The first day of school had once again brought bustling activ- ity. At first glance, everything seemed to be the s ame as in previous years: students climbing steps, opening lockers, going through lines, and closing doors ina pattern that was almost changeless. The building also appeared to be unchanged, with the usual auditorium, gymnasi- um, and classrooms. The fa- miliar faces of sophomores, Anapplea day... Corey Chalkey is caught “munching out” during lunch. juniors and seniors appeared throughout the halls. Even so, all was not old and famil- iar. Changes had taken place. There were new faces in the halls belonging to bewil- dered freshmen. Last year’s sophomores and_ juniors stepped up to be juniors and seniors. Accomplishments in the classroom effected the big- gest change in the juniors. The classroom guides them toward a goal, an objective, or a special field of interest. The things that have been obtained through changes in the classroom were the many different subjects that were being taken and learned. For example, the chemist learned of the mysterious powers of H,SO,; the English student marveled at the mag- nificant characters of Edgar Allan Poe, Nathanial Haw- thorne, and many other early American writers; the math- ematician solved a baffling al- gebraic problem; the Latin student entered the world of Juluis Caesar; the band mem- ber mastered a different piece of music; and the artist and photographer discov- ered how to create beauty with color. All of these things proved that juniors had Ever Changing... learned most about change in the classroom. The class of ’83 will always cherish the memories of such junior activities as the excitement of getting class rings, taking PSAT’s and SAT’s and other college en- trance exams, the anticipa- tion of the first football game, the dread of mid-year and final exams, the respon- sibility and commitments toa part-time job, the relief of not having to dress for gym anymore; the beauty and thrill of the dancing at the Ju- nior-Senior Prom, and spe- cial friendships which turned into relationships. All of these were part of change. However, some things never change, such as the closeness and concern of a best friend or your feelings toward that special someone. As_ the countless events changed from one to another, the wheel rotated and the ju- niors experienced a new sen- sation. It was a growing awareness of the true mean- ing of activities, and of the Junior Class Officers Laura Padgett (Secretary), Lesley Driver (Treasurer), Bruce Croxton (Historian), Kathy proper place for each event in the student’s heart. The juniors eventually realized the true significance of the school’s special occasions, and took pride in them, cherishing their memory. Changes in life gave a non- participating Monarch the chance to become a student who belonged, who worked, and who began to care about Meadowbrook. It gave us something to labor for, and something to look forward to. All of us have matured since our freshmen year and all of the activities for Mea- dowbrook Juniors have formed the spoke which have completed the wheel. As time rolls on we will have collected many other spokes on the wheel, but the hub was the most central point of our school life. When the Ju- nior Class will meet again, if ever again, we will have changed, and many new spokes will be added to the wheel of life. Ruckart (Vice President), Not Pic- tured: John Hunt (President). Juniors 171 Profile: Chris Kontopanos Rob Lohr On the Way to the Top Live in Concert! Sold Out! These are the words that Chris Kontopanos and Rob Lohr would like to hear someday. Both juniors have made major con tributions to the music field. The notes of the songs they play seem to flow like a gentle breeze. But striving for professionalism has been hard work. The hard work began at an early age for Chris. He was three when he started tuning into the radio. “I would be walking around the house humming and singing, and Mom said | sung in a good tune,” replied Chris. Then, at the age of eight, his parents bought him a guitar. Al- though Chris plays other in- struments such as drums, bass, and the bozuki, his fa- vorite instrument is the gui- tar. Rob started at the age of six on a ukulele. “My hands were so little that it was the only instrument that | could hold,” he remarked. His fa- voirte instrument is the gui- tar also, but he plays the trombone, bass, tuba, piano, and saxophone. Music has become an im- portant part of Chris and Rob’s life. They are members of “Sing Out South.” Chris was band director in 1979 and they spent three weeks in the summer in Russia and Poland. With the one-hun- dred percent support of their parents they have ex- celled tremendously. But Randy Morris Paul Mosca Bobby Moseley Laura Mulas Scott Murphy Richard Nash Julia Negron Paul Newman 172 Juniors Rob’s parents feel that he should spend more time on his school work. Chris also commented, “I don’t ask for money from my Mom and Dad for equipment, | buy it myself. | feel when I buy it on my own | appreciate it more.’”” Both have been in several bands. Stonewall, a local rock band which played at many bars and night clubs around the city. The ques- tion was asked ‘Now that Stonewall has broken up, what are your plans for anew band?’”” Chris commented “Presently, | don’t know, but | want to get another band together. During the sum- mer | think that we will prac- tice on our skills, and try to reform a band.” Rob has been in four bands since the age of eleven. He likes to play rock-n-roll but has “jazz roots.” He has played jazz, while Chris has played mostly rock-n-roll. Chris replied, “I like every kind of music, rock; ethnic, country, — anything. | also enjoy classical and jazz simply because it is a challenge to play.”” But when you play rock-n-roll you are really just putting on a show for the audience, and having a good time doing it.” Chris prefers groups like Rush, Led Zepplin, Beatles, and the Rolling Stones, which he saw in concert. “If | had to choose a rock idol | would have to say that it would be Jimmy Page for a guitar, Jerry Fields who is my guitar teacher, George Ben- son and D’Jango Reinhart. Rob on the other hand likes Journey and Toto. Rob’s idol is his guitar teacher Jerry Fields. ‘He is the best guitar teacher that | have ever had — he’s great!!”” Rob also ad- mires Steve Gaines and John McLoughin. ‘Oh, and Chris too,” he adds. But these are among the few of his idols. Rob remarked, “I get off playing my guitar in the be- gining of the day. — Music Theory Class is where | met Chris.” Rob and_— Chris formed a strong friendship. Both want to major in music at the number one music col- lege, Berklee College of Mu- sic in Boston, Massachusetts. Chris’ interest in music has allowed him to come in con- tact with recording artists and rock stars such as Jerry Reed, Elvis Presley, and Ozzy Osbourne. “I met Jerry Reed by my Dad and | gave him a ride to his hotel and got his autograph. | algo got Elvis’ autograph. | also met Ozzy Osbourne and talked to him backstage after the Rich- mond concert. Also his lead guitarist asked me if he could use my guitar as his backup guitar for the concert.” Both Chris and Rob were given a hypothetical ques- tion: given a choice between two jobs — one, being a member of a band that might be successful in two or three years or one sitting at a desk job that paid up to sixty- thousand a year with a raise of ten-thousand after two years, which job would each choose? Chris replied, “The band, because music is my life, that is what | do.’” Rob commented, “Forget it man, Ill play my guitar any day, rather than set behind a desk for any amount of money.” Rob and Chris have had many interesting exper- iences while preforming. The most memorable exper- ience that Chris and Rob have ever had was at a Girl's Detention Home. Chris ex- plained “I was just on stage preforming as usual, and | started walking into the crowd and all of the sudden | was literally attacked by about one hundred girls! Rob was smart, he kept on playing and remained on the bandstand. That really was an experience that | will never forget. The greatest thing that can happen to you up on stage is when you get a stand- ing ovation.”” Chris replied, “My greatest joy in music is ... well, | guess, personal sa- tisfation, the satisfaction that | make people enjoy the mu- slew Rob added, “I love the thrill of a big rowdy audience and the excitement, of play- ing on stage.’’ He also got to spend last summer in Boston, Massachusetts studying mu- sic at Berklee College. It was an intensive seven week mu- sic program covering every- thing from music ear training a eee to lessons involving big band. In order to qualify for this program a student had to be highly gifted in music and in- terested in pursuing a musi- cal career. Rob managed to pay the 2500 dollar tuition with a one hundred dollar scholarship, and help from his parents. Being on his own really appealed to Rob, he remembered, “It was really great, because my parents weren't there to look over my shoulder and | had to rely on myself.” His flair for musical excel- lence goes back to the third grade when he began win- ning music contests. He wrote a complete orchestra- tion entitled ‘‘Them on America’, which brought him school, township, and district honors. Even with all the excite- ment, fun, and strange ex- periences that they have en- countered, Rob and Chris take their work seriously. The hardwork has paid off for both musicians. For Chris, his former band Stonewall and his plans for a new band have given him great satisfaction. For Rob, an early acceptance for his musical ability at V.C.U., is his significant ac- complishment. Dueling guitars — Chris Konto- panos and Rob Lohr challenge each other with their guitar skills.

These are not the everyday concerns of an American teenager, but they were the constant companions of a fif- teen year old Vietnamese boy named Bang Anh Dao. Bang lived in Saigon, Viet- nam with the other members of his family. In 1979, he came to the United States with his younger brother, Bao Qui, because he wanted to avoid being drafted by the Communist government that was now ruling his country. His father, a high command- er of the South Vietnamese Army, was captured and put into a concentration camp. His mother, a teacher, is still in Vietnam with his sister and grandmother. Bang and Bao left Vietnam with an uncle, traveling illegally by boat. After permission to dock was denied at Thailand, Bang and 174 Juniors the other ‘‘Boat People” were sent to Malaysia. They stayed there for several months in an internment camp until they could find sponsors who would take them into their countries. At this time he wrote to another uncle in the U.S. who agreed to sponsor him and his brother. The documents were drawn up and soon Bang and Bao were flown to Richmond, Virginia. Once he was in the U.S., he took special classes at John Tyler for three months to learn the English language. Bang says, “The language was the most difficult thing to ad- just to.” Comparing his lifestyle in Vietnam with that of the United States, Bang noted that many things are differ- ent. Vietnamese housing, for example, is made of brick, not just on the outside as in many American homes, but also on the inside. Food is also more plentiful in Amer- ica. As he remarked, “You can eat all you want.”” Bang pointed out major differ- ences that exist between the educational systems of Viet- nam and the United States. In Vietnamese school, the stu- dents stayed in the same classrooms while the teach- ers change classes for each period. The school day was made up of five periods in- stead of the United States’ six periods. Lunches were not served in Vietnamese schools because school was over at twelve o'clock noon. Students ate lunch at home with their families. The Viet- namese curriculum is basical- ly the same as the United States’ with the exception of physical education and for- eign languages. After the Communists took over Vietnam, a new course entitled History Hour was introduced in which stu- dents were taught the origins of the Soviet Union and oth- er aspects of Communist his- tory. Bang remembered that “with all of this extra work It’s all it is cracked up to be Bang Dao shows an appreciation for an American education by taking his studies seriously. you barely had enough time to do your homework after school ... because in the evenings the students were required to work until five o'clock p.m. cleaning the streets and the community.” Under the Communist sys- tem, a head master was as- signed to each village. Every- day at seven o'clock a.m., the students had physical educa- tion for thirty minutes. Then food was rationed for one week. On Saturdays all of the children were required to go door-to-door and to ask for money for the Communist Party. Villages were watched very closely by the Commu- nists. At the end of every week, the students had to write a report of the events in which they had participat- ed and submit it to their headmaster. Bang cited that the Communists did not per- mit anyone to attend church because in such situations people were together and might exchange ideas to re- bel against the party. “The best thing about America is the lifestyle, the freedom, and the fact that you don’t have to take orders from any- one,” replied Bang. “But one thing that | don’t like is the fact that in America there are many drugs.” According to Bang, alcohol abuse was the most serious drug problem in Vietnam. There were open markets in front of the school that sold alcohol. After | school students would go to © the market and the clerk would sell it to them, illegal- ly, without any identification. The legal drinking age in Vietnam was the same as in the U.S., 18 years old. Now Bang does not have to worry about being drafted by the Communist government, or suffer from a lack of food. Bang’s life has changed greatly since he has been in _ America. He is especially grateful for the opportunity to receive a better education and plans to pursue a career in engineering by attending Virginia Tech.

Candy stripers help the nursing staff by discharging patients, fill- ing water pitchers, carrying flowers and mail, and cheer- ing up the patients. Students serve mainly as candystripers at Chippen- ham Hospital. While most of the students who go to this school are ex- ceedingly comfy in_ their homes on weekend morn- ings, candy stripers are get- ting ready to cheer up pa- tients in the hospital. Many girls get to the hospital as early as nine o'clock on Sat- urday mornings and work for four hours. “I like bringing flowers and mail to the pa- tients because | like to see them smile when they re- cieve them.” says Beth Ash- 176 Sophomores z i, Profile: Candystriping Caring for the Sick Jane Futch has a different view; “I like helping the kids in the Pediatric wing and making them feel comfort- able.’”” Jane and Beth work at Chippenham Hospital on Saturdays in the summer- time, and sometimes during a vacation from school. “People think sports are hard on you. | have exper- ienced both sports and can- dystriping. When you spend four hours constantly rush- ing from place to place, your feet really start to ache,” says Beth. “Some people even work double-shifts,” says Jane. “Sometimes someone can’t get to work at the hos- pital, but that usually isn’t a problem because there is al- ways a cheerful volunteer who offers to fill up the emp- ty place.” Candy striping exposes volunteers to a variety of medical wonders. One can- dystriper who was interested in the medicine field was for- tunate enough to be able to watch open heart surgery at MCV. Don’t think that volun- teering is limited to girls only. There are also boy vol- unteers called grey coats. Most of the time, they trans- port people. However, hos- pitals need many more of them.

Catching animals in traps was one of man’s earliest means of getting food and clothing. People in many parts of the world today still capture animals in traps. Keith Aldridge, a trapper, has his own point of view on trapping. ‘‘People don’t real- ize that trapping is a necessi- ty of life. Trapping is also one of the best ways to control small destructive animals.” Trapping is an important A way of life, Keith Aldridge skins a raccoon in his shop by using a tech- nique called the Case Method. part of Keith’s life. At the age of twelve, Keith became in- terested in trapping while trying to catch a squirrel in his front yard. After buying a trap from a local hardware store, he set the trap; only to return the next day to find both the trap and the squirrel missing. About one year later his fa- ther, who then worked in a sporting good store, told him of the advantages of trap- ping. Trapping is very profit- able for Keith. He has several regular customers but many other people come to him for advice and trapping sup- plies. Trapping for profit is best in winter months when the animals fur is heaviest. Forest land makes the best land for trapping. But trap- ping is more profitable when it is done in wood lots and along creeks. But Keith pre- fers to trap in the surround- ing area. Traps should be disguised in different ways depending on the kind of animal sought. A trapper should wear gloves while handling any type of traps or bait, to avoid leaving human scent. So along with a close friend, Keith launched his first year of trapping. Now Keith has opened his own business called Aldridge Enterprises. He sells traps, trapping supplies and buys raw furs. The kinds of traps Keith uses are double- springs, coil spring and body traps. He plans to continue with trapping as long as possible. He objects to people who do not trap because they feel that trapping is unjust; ‘“peo- ple who down-grade trap- ping don’t realize what a ne- cessity trapping really is.”” Keith also has other inter- ests such as swimming, doing electrical work, running track and racing motorcy- cles. Keith has been racing motorcycle’s for two years. He started out riding ona Ya- maha YZ 125. After having his motorcycle for almost one month, he went to his first race in May of 1980. Keith was in second place when his handle bars came loose, and he had to drop out of the race. Keith has gone from a beginner to fifteen points from an expert in four months time. He has attend- ed Gary Bailey’s Motor-Cross School in Axton, Virginia for four days for the past two summers. One of the funniest things that has happened to Keith while racing is that another racer tried to kick his bike over but Keith braked and the racer wrecked. Keith went on to trophy in the main event. Keith keeps himself busy in the winter months by trap- ping and uses the summer months for motorcycle rac- ing. Though Keith is kept busy during the summer with rac- ing, profits in his winter trap- ping business will most likely keep him on the wheels to his future.

Mat’s love for horses was horses since he was fifteen, says there are several things 182 Sophomores that one must do to prepare prior toacompetition. “First, you must make sure that your horse is in the best of health, and that you are the best of health also.” In horse competitions, there are three classes: speed classes, which take three to four months to train for; pleasure riding, which takes up to a year to train for; and calf roping, which takes a about a year and a half to train for. Training for a horse com- petition takes a long time. “Approximately four hours each day,” stated Mat. You also have to pay a fee to enter a competition. “For rodeos, it’s about three dollars,’’ said Mat. Besides his love and care for horses, Mat loves to play basketball. He played in ju- nior high, and now plays in the high school level. At six foot plus, one “looks up at” Mat. His height is a great as- set to his position as center on the basketball team. Even though Mat is active at school, he still manages to budget his time between his school activities and his re- sponsibilities to his horses. Whether Mat plans to train horses as a career is still un- decided, but he is sure about one thing — horses will al- ways have a part in his life.

You know you have won the race. It is an accomplishment that you have earned by practic- ing day and night.” Mark Cooper has exper- ienced this many times. He first started running when he was just a child, and started running competitively in the fifth grade on the Salem Church Junior High team. Ever since then, he has been on track teams. This year was Running on Empty ... Mark Cooper pushes his way around the Richmond Cole- sium’s indoor track in hopes of another first place. “It’s A Great Feeling” also Mark’s first year on a cross country team, although it wasn’t his first year running long distance. Mark usually runs before coming to school, at practice each day after school, and before he goes to sleep. Mark has run in fourteen outside races, such as the Pe- terburg Road Race, and the Newport News Relays held in March. Now at fifteen, he runs for the United States As- sociation for Blind Athletes. He is partially blind, and has been that way since birth. Mark races against other blind athletes who have the same vision as he does. When Mark was asked why he runs, he replied, “It’s the sport that | really love to do.” Mark has had his share of being in the limelight.

In eighth grade, he won the mile in the district meet. In his cross-country season here, he was second on his team. Mark will run in a ten kilo- meter race in Texas. If he qualifies, he will go on to Eu- rope to compete. He will tour Spain, France, and Ger- many, and the games will be in Switzerland. This will cov- er a three-week period. Mark also has goals; his biggest being the 1988 Olympics. When Mark was asked what he thought about Meadowbrook, he replied, “I've made friends. They've helped me with my running. I’m proud of Meadow- brook.” Scott Closter Tammy Coggin Bill Colgate Sherese Collins Cheryl Colon Brian Connelly Don Conner Mark Cooper Dwayne Courton Kenneth Crumpler Billy Custalow Kim Cutrell Robin Dail Michelle Daniels Alvin Davis Deanna Davis Freshmen 185 Profile: Donna Wilkinson Just For Fun Stress, Exhaustion, and Pain. This is the price paid by some dancers who want to be- come the best in their field. Some endure blisters on their toes, sprained ankles, and pulled ligaments. Some go through all of this to be- come professional dancers and to make it to the stage, but others like Donna Wil- kinson say, “I do it just for fun.” Donna, who began ballet at the age of three, at Heri- tage School of Dance, re- ceived her inspiration for ballet from her sister Sheri. At one time Sheri was taking ballet and Donna enjoyed watching her. Later, Sheri quit the class and Donna was her replacement. At the Concert Ballet of Virginia, Donna has partici- pated in several programs such as Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Coppelia, and the magical Christmas story the Nutcracker. The perfor- mance Donna enjoyed the most was her role in The Nut- cracker at the Empire The- atre in Emporia, Virginia. Many expenses are associ- ated with taking ballet such as renting costumes, ranging in price from fifteen to twen- ty-seven dollars. In addition, there are instructional costs Lisa Davis Patricia Dean Gregory Debruyen Nessie Dimeo Trudi Dingle Kathy Dinsmore Raymond Dixon Glenn Doane John Dowdy Shelia Dowdy Karen Drinkwater Kevin Edwards Mike Ehert Kim Eller Michele Elms Myra Epps 186 Freshmen by a school instructor; one ballet lesson is two dollars and fifty cents. However, if the school is honored with the presence of an instructor from New York or France, the cost of a lesson could be as high as five dollars. In addi- tion, to these expenditures, a twenty-five dollar fee must be paid to become a member of the Concert Ballet. Some- times unexpected costs arise, such as medical bills for sprained ankles, and other injuries. “I have pulled sever- al muscles during rehearsals and warm-ups, but nothing serious,” says Donna. Ballet has led Donna to participate in extra-curricu- lar activities at school such as the Monarette Squad. Donna attended the Peanut Festival in Emporia, in which the Monarettes received a First Place trophy for their perfor- mance. “Ballet and Monar- ettes have many things in common suchas long and tir- ing practices and it takes so long to learn just one rou- tine, however, all of the hard work paid off during perfor- mances and pep rallies,’”’ said Donna. Donna also com- mented, ‘The Monarette routines and ballet require concentration, and you try not to make mistakes and make a fool out of yourself but, really, all of the hard work is a lot of fun. | guess that is why | like both ballet and Monarettes, because they have so many things in common.” Although Donna doesn’t want to become a professional dancer she _ is enjoying all of the excite- ment as an amateur. Donna says, “Besides I’m doing it just for fun.” Always on her toes! Donna Wilkin- son demonstrates the top form she uses when performing with the Richmond Ballet.

What a feeling! You feel like just grabbing on to someone, anyone — even a complete stranger and beg- ging him to help and give you directions. It is really terrify- ing to be lost in a big school like Meadowbrook with lots of classrooms and so many students around. That is how the SCA anticipated that many freshman would feel in the fall. So, realizing the need for orientation at the beginning of the school year, the SCA provided a day in which all upcoming freshmen met at Meadowbrook for a look around the school. The offi- cers of the SCA and Mr. Bu- chanan spoke on_ various subjects such as rules, regula- tions, activities and the cur- riculum. The cheerleaders also had a part in welcoming the freshmen by doing a few cheers and arousing the spirit of the nervous freshmen. They were divided into small Little Lost Sheep groups and SCA members were appointed as_ tour guides. The ninth graders were shown all of the school such as the library, office, the one-hundred hall, the up- stairs, the new wing, the Eng- lish hall and, of course, the cafeteria. A freshman orientation would not be complete with- out being introduced to one of the high points of Mea- dowbrook student life — an evening of fun and dance. In order to launch a swinging year, the SCA and Steve Kel- ley of Q-94 Radio Station hosted an August ‘’Back-to- school’ dance for all the stu- dents at Meadowbrook. This dance was held a couple of days before the school year started. The SCA sponsor, Mrs. Davidson, commented, “This dance was one of the best that Meadowbrook has Freshmen Class Officers: Bill Col- gate (President), Kristen Lofquist (Vice President), Margaret Wirt (Sec- retary), Laura Benford (Treasurer), Vanessa Phelps (Historian) ever had. It was at the right time and everyone was in the right frame of mind and ready to see friends and start off the school year.” This dance was for everyone, but especially for the freshmen.

In addition to taking com- puter class, Matt has built two computers of his own: one took two hours to com- plete, the other took three weeks. He says that what he admires most about comput- ers is their efficiency and perfections, but also men- tions that if he could make one change in computer us- age, it would be to add mixed graphics and text. When the Christmas holi- day time came around Matt was able to take a computer home which’ was _ pro- grammed non-stop allowing about only six hours of sleep Ronnie Yingling at night. Matt also managed to keep his grades as well as enjoyed frisbee throwing, drama and involvement in his church choir. Appearing on the cover of the March issue of the Vir- ginia Journal of Education, Matt has helped to put him- self and the school on the map. He plans to further his ca- reer by attending VCU and advancing his education in computer. His goal is to be- come an Imaging Scientist at NASA in time for the Nep- tune Encounter. Matt proudly states about his comput ers: “If cars had advanced as quickly as com- puters, a Rolls Royce would cost $2.95 get 3,000,000 miles per gallon and have the horsepower to pull the (yacht) Queen Elizabeth!’ What do computers and Matt’s computer craze have in store for us next? Perhaps computers will be used in all homes for all household shopping and budgeting. We may even have a computer- ized car. And what about Matt’s role in all of this? Matt might someday end up being the human input for one of the thousands of things go- ing computer. WHIZ KID!!!

The _ business, which started back in the 1800’s and dwindled away, has returned with the popu- larity of wood stoves again as an old tradition. Ethnic clothes are worn on the job. The attire consists of a black turtle-neck shirt, top hat, and black tails. The rea- son for wearing these clothes is a tradition. The sweepers were popular in England and Europe during the period of Oliver Twist. The low classes of people would take jobs as sweepers. People would not let the sweepers into their homes, but then the sweep- ers got a bright idea. They thought ... if | look like I’m 192 Faculty Top Hat, professional they will think I’m professional. So the sweepers began to go to un- dertakers and get cast off clothing in order to look professional. It appeared that clothes do make the man, and the chimney sweepers were soon busily cleaning. The Brian Kane Chimney Sweeping Inc. carries on this long-lived tradition of clean- ing chimneys. The business is owned by Mr. Kane, a gov- ernment teacher who has taught at Meadowbrook since 1963. He began his ca- reer at Meadowbrook by teaching English and serving as chairman of the English Department. Then he trans- ferred to the Social Studies Department to teach gov- ernment and a little human- ities. Mr. Kane also coached wrestling after school in ear- lier years. A combination of events influenced him in starting the business: the decision to Tails and Kane stop coaching the wrestling team, reaching the top of the teaching scale; the a-quisi- tion of awood stove; and the need for money. When the question was asked, “Why Chimney Sweeping’? His re- ply was, “I felt like | had an obligation and responsibil- ities to my family. Five years ago | was scared and worried about college for my two children. | was wondering if | could send them to a good college and pay for the cost of the tuition, but my princi- ple reason for the business was to financially benefit my wife and myself at the time of retirement. An important as- pect also deals with all of us working together, it main- tains the family relationship.” The Kane business is located at their home so that the family can spend time to- gether even when _ they work. The basic job is scheduled for two hours, but it really takes approximately forty- five minutes. The two hours are in case there are any problems that may arise. The busiest months are Septem- ber and November. During these months they have to have a sixty hour week. The work is done after school hours and on weekends. In addition to family members, Mr. Kane has two employ- ees, former Meadowbrook students. The kind of equip- ment used for the job con- sists of a six hundred dollar ladder, mountain climbing equipment, an adjustable brushes, rods and a powerful vacuum. Chimney deodor- ant, covers, and basic hand tools are sold to the custom- ers for the regular mainte- nance and cleaning of a chimney. The price is thirty dollars in slow months, forty- five dollars in moderate months, and forty-nine dol- lars in the busiest season. The process for cleaning a chimney is first, to lay the tar- paulin on the floor. This is used to protect the custom- 2rs carpet or floor from get- ‘ing soot on it while the chimney is being swept. Then a steel brush attached to a rod, which is a flexible unit, is inserted into the chimney. Then soot, ashes, and debris begins to fall down and the suction power of the vacuum at one hun- dred miles per hour then collects the soot and dust particles. Mr. Kane has had many in- teresting encounters dressed up in his top hat and tails. One experience that was rather funny occurred while | was attending a convention in Atlantic City. | walked into a 7-Eleven Store with my tra- ditional outfit on, and a man walking by started to stare at me (but that is to be expect- ed). Then he started smiling, humming, and singing the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Apparently | reminded him of Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War. Wearing the eth- Up, Up and away On the job, Mr. Brian Kane climbs up his ladder clad in his usual attire. Mr. Kane intends to con- tinue this part-time career to have extra money for his family and for retirement and to keep the family together. nic attire is good for business. It attracts attention and puts a smile on faces, and people enjoy having you around and in their homes.” Mrs. Francis Boswell English 10, Advanced Placement Eng- lish. Miss Mary Bowen Typing I.

More than just a few students were amazed to find out that their teachers were people, too. Not only were they class- room fixtures but teachers were caring individuals who gave of themselves to go over an assignment with a student or even help out with a personal problem. Other people “behind the scenes” gave of their time and aid also. For example, there was Mrs. Fisher, a kind and gentle lady who cleaned and cared for the school with pride.

At the beginning of the year Mr. Don Kelly with the aid of the guidance department helped many students to set- tle into just the right sched- ule of classes. A little later, during Homecoming week Mr. Wayne Wilson become “Mr. Spirit” and was a willing victim for an eager pie- thrower. At almost every dance, Mr. Larry Buchanan could be seen spearheading school spirit. Whever you had a question, you could go to the bookroom window or the office and could find an answer from the staff there.

Once start- ed, the growth of activities was like a brush fire. People who used to hide away in crevices and behind the scenes came out. It was all part of uniting and building a pride. And it wasn’t just the people here in school who participat- ed in creating this new pride. The community stepped into the scene and helped to gen- erate enthusiasm already growing.
