Opening 5 Learning Counts formal education was not the first pri- ority of many students, but classroom ifstruc- tion was a fundamental in learning and distrib- uting basic knowledge. Classes ranged from having a guest speaker to doing term papers. Projects were assigned such as, building models, constructing bridges and designing kites. PERT stressed personal reading. A Fashion Show pre- sented by the Fashion Merchandising class showed the latest styles. Drama classes worked on plays and skits. Productions as The Imaginary Invalid, The American Dream, Zoo Story and Before Breakfast were stimulating as well as entertaining. To some students, substitutes were excuses to goof off and to have a break in their daily rou- tine. In a “tightening up” policy, the administra- tion cracked down on rules and regulations. Teachers monitoring the halls, checking stu- dents passes, and the elimination of the ten min- ute break, encouraged students to get serious about their education. The work program taught students how to manage going to school and working at part time job. The Tech students learned practical skills for a planned career. At Channel 23-TV, the Battle of the Brains team defeated Trinity Episcopal only to be eliminated in the second round of events by Courtland High School. Learning also took place outside the class- room walls. Trips were taken to the Library of Congress by the library aides. Biology students learned more about sea life at the Marine Har- bor National Aquarium in Baltimore, Mary- land. Earth Science classes visited the Science Museum to learn more about the Universe, and a raft trip down the James River was sponsored by the P.E. Department. Foreign Language stu- dents went to Europe and Mrs. Mary Jo Lux’s 11th grade English classes took a trip to Wash- ington D.C. to explore the depths of art. In all, learning was the first priorty of a for- mal education, even if it went unnoticed by some students. 6 Academic Divider Fireman Rich to the rescue.

The classroom grows quiet as con- versations come to a halt. The teachers check the roll and be- gin their planned lessons. Not all students are con- sumed with being attentive. Some take notes. Others write letters to friends, do other homework, daydream or go to sleep. These things are all part of an average school day. To avoid the day to day rou- tine, teachers brought in guest speakers or varied activities to give students a different look. The Family Living class under the guidance of Mrs. Donna Taylor, prepared a Mock Wed- ding. It included invitations, a ceremony and the reception. The Food Management class learned the art of cake decorat- ing and supplied the cake for the Mock Wedding. The Architectural Drawing and Engineering classes com- pleted projects such as building houses and constructing bridges out of toothpicks, being careful not to use over 150 toothpicks and Elmer’s glue. Students also chose classes that emphasized creativity such as art, shop, computer and music. Outside speakers not only educated students but drew from their interests. A disc jockey from XL-102, Rick Maybe talked to the Work Pro- gram Students on a career in i] broadcasting. The English Department in- vited several speakers to talk to their classes. Mrs. Dolly Apes- sos invited Michael Parent, a professional storyteller, who amused as well as informed stu- dents about the trauma of being a teenager. Mrs. Alice Harding invited a sports writer, Tim Pearrell, from the Richmond News Leader who talked to her English classes and to the Sceptre staff about effective sports writing. The Social Studies Depart- ment invited many speakers from other countries. Mrs. Bar- bara Winston invited speakers from Bolivia, Australia, Africa, Israel, a dancer from Poland, and a member of “Sing Out South’, Mrs. Thurston, who “See this” Mrs. Ruth Hodge, from Commonwealth College, shows Donna Massengill a work sheet on how people’s perceptions differ. Cheers! Before cutting the cake, Deron Jackson and Melinda Harvey drinks a toast to each others good health. Final touchs.

Paul Murray carefully drills a hole into a piece of pine for a table leg. 10 Classroom Activities talked about her visit to Russia: They spoke on the different cus- toms, government, food and languages of their countries. Mrs. Michelle Gittens of the Special Education Department also hosted speakers from Afri- ca who spoke on their countries’ people and customs. The Business Department in- vited many speakers from local colleges including VCU Busi- ness Department and Kee Busi- ness College. Mrs. Moore, own- er of Imp Pedler, also came to talk about job interviews and managing a business. Mrs. Donna Taylor of Home Economics invited three speak- ers, one from a local bank, Ms. Donna Waldrin from Casual Corner and Lin Pack, a local restauranteur, spoke on seafood cookery. Another method teachers used to break up the humdrum of everyday school life was field trips. The Media Club visited the Library of Congress and the science classes toured the Sci- ence Museum and the Balti- more Harbor National Aquar- ium. The physical education department coordinated a raft trip down the James River. Some students did not go on any field trips but did leave the school grounds for their class activities. These students at- tended the Chesterfield Techni- cal Center and had a “hands- on” type of learning. They also enjoyed “Free Days”, planned fun activities, which were peri- odic breaks from classwork. Other classroom activities in- cluded some unpleasant sur- prises in the form of pop quizzes Hi, Mickey! Kathy Ruckart masters the art of cake decorating in the Food Man- agement Course. oe All Ina Day’s Work (cont’d) and tests. There were also “dog days” when the teachers as- signed term papers or essays that required a great deal of outside work. Still, if students took a Study Hall they could work on their homework or catch up on studying so there would be time to do things after school. Some school days were rep- etitious, but the effort made by many teachers to plan trips and activities provided stimulating experiences. Five minutes left in class. Restless students start packing up their books, drumming their pencils and shifting around in their seats. Eyeing the clock, curious minds wonder when that bell will ring and what surprises await them in their next class. Enter Data ...

Gary Hess, Conor Shiel, David Griles and Jon Stonestreet look stumped by one of ‘the Battle of the Brains questions. Now for the next question. Mr. Mac Angell, Mrs. Katie Rosenbaum, Mr. Jackie Rooney decide what the next question will be. The World of Trivia o you know the four provinces of Ireland? Do you know who the president of South Yemen is or how often kangaroos reproduce? These are the types of questions often asked to The Battle of the Brains team. To be competitor, a student must have a good general knowledge or be knowledgeable in a specific area and must be able to recall facts quickly. The importance of Battle of the Brains, according to sponsors, Mac Angell, Joel Dexter and Katie Rosenbaum, agreed that it demonstrated to people that students can be competitive and representative of their schools in areas other than sports. It Yeah! Conol Shiel, David Griles, Jon Stonestreet and Gary Hess chalk one up for the students over the faculty. Stiff Competition. Battling it out with the faculty, the student team of Gary Hess, Conor Shiel, David Griles, and Jon Stonestreet arrive at the correct an- swer. made academics respectable. The team was chosen in the spring by a series of competitive rounds as well as a written test of general knowledge. Accord- ing to Mr. Angell, “Once we re- ceive notice from Channel 23 in the early fall about when we will be on the air, we begin in- tensive preparations, consisting of competitive rounds several times a week as well as individ- ual study in numerous areas of knowledge.” All Chesterfield County Schools as well as neighboring schools participated as Channel 23 airs the program. Schools from as far away as Williams- burg and Fredericksburg also participated in this challenging competition. For the first time, the team progressed to the sec- ond round of competition. After soundly defeating Trinity Epis- copal, they lost a close second- round match to Courtland High School. The Battle of the Brains team consisted of five strong and able-minded individuals who gave it all they could so as to do a great job in competition. Sen- ior David Griles, the captain of the team, were the specialist in science and mathematics. Gary Hess, also a senior, was knowl- edgeable in the areas of reli- gion, sports, and American his- tory. Junior Conor Shiel was an important member with his strong awareness esoteric sub- jects. Senior Jon Stonestreet specialized in history and poli- tics and was considered to be the general knowledge expert. And, last but not least was Joe Mayer, a sophomore and alter- nate, who held up his end of the deal with his strong ge neral knowledge. Mr. Angell thought the members truly functioned as a team, with all of the members contributing to its success. He commented, “I am extremely proud of this year’s team, which became the first team to ad- vance beyond the first round of competition. Though we lost a close second round, the team members handled themselves well and have every reason to be proud of themselves!” Concentration! Faculty members Mr. Everette Butler, Mrs. Mary Jo Lux, Mrs. Thelma Wyatt, and Miss Lee Chase test their wits in a practice round with the student team. What could it be! Mrs. Mary Jo Lux is in deep thought over the trivia question. Battle of the Brains 13 “Watching our P Q’s. [WEI student Shines like glass.

These students participated in work related programs called IWE and ICT. IWE, Industrial Work Ex- perience, (freshman and sopho- mores) and ICT, Industrial Co- operative Training, (juniors and seniors) were programs which aided students whose in- terests were more vocational than academic. In addition to the academic curriculum, students included one class of IWE or ICT in their schedules. Those classes em- phasized pre-employment skills, employer-employee rela- tions, self-evaluation, money- management, and the correct way to fill out income tax forms. They received two credits for their participation; one for Deli Delight. D.E. Marketing student, Bambi Bell prepares club sandwiches at the Safeway in the Meadowdale Shop- ping Center. classroom work and one for on- the-job training. Each nine weeks, students received an em- ployer evaluation, the main fac- tor in determining their on-the- job grade. Students in the work pro- gram had a paying job and worked at least fifteen hours a week. Some found jobs on their own and others received help from coordinators. However, most students were encouraged to find their own jobs. Bobby Felts, a ICT student, comment- ed “The coordinator tells you the different places where jobs are available, but they leave it up to you to go and apply. This helps the students learn what is involved in finding a job and how to apply.” When asked whether the work programs were beneficial to job or college bound students, Mrs. Lao, coordinator of IWE, responded, “If you’re in IWE or ICT it doesn’t mean that you are not intelligent enough to go to college, it just means that you are more geared towards voca- tional training.” “Cleanliness is next to...” Gena Wes- tray cleans up the counter after com- pleting an order at What-a-burger on Jefferson Davis Highway.

Work Program 15 Earning Early (cont'd) Having the largest number of work participants in the county, the IWE and ICT programs’ accomplishments were indicat- ed in the annual earnings re- port. Mr. John Hardie reported twenty five IWE students to- taled 9,795 hours and earned $31,724.43. Thirty-four coordi- nated by Mr. Howard Lewis completed 13,007 hours and grossed $48,734.65 and stu- dents under Mrs. Lao’s supervi- sion worked 15,000 hours and earned $49,769.00. Ms. Gayle Babcock reported that forty- eight students worked a total of 36,534.75 hours and earned $136,548.61. On May 24th, an employer employee banquet was held at the Meadowbrook Country Club. Students and their em- ployees enjoyed a fine meal while certificates of completion were presented and seven awards were given to the out- “Stack them High.” Farm Fresh em- ployee and D.E.

The superior job per- formance award was given to ICT student Thomas Frank and the ICT Student-Of-The- Year was given to Dana Drumheller. At 8:00 p.m. two hundred students rushed for the time clock ran to the cars and sped homeward. For them, their workday was completed; at school, for four hours and at work, for another six to eight hours. After putting in a full day of school and work, IWE and ICT students could rest assured that they had learned skills neces- sary for a head start in the the working world. “May I help you?” Working at Whit- ney’s in Southside Plaza, IWE II stu- dent Brandy Bigley politely waits on a customer.

Work Program 17 “SHRIEK!” “Who Put the Rubber Snake on my Chair?” ubstitute teacher, Mrs. Wilma Mauren said she would never forget the day when she was substituting in the English hall and was showing filmstrips on the Scarlet Letter. She got up to fix the projector when she returned to her seat, there was a black rubber snake in her chair. Or there was the time when she reached for her pencil, she found that it would not come off the desk. A “sneaky” student in Mr. Min- gus’ class glued my pencil to the desk when I wasn’t looking. ..a quaint New Year’s joke on Jan- uary 3rd,” quipped Mrs. Wilma Mauren. ‘ Substitutes were taken ad- vantage of because the students knew they could get away with unusual pranks and shenani- gans that they would not have tried with their regular teach- ers. Some popular tricks were erasing letters off the board or making obscene additions, bringing a “fake” note from the office to call a class member out, and exchanging names when the roll is called. Mrs. Gywen Prideaux, a frequent and friendly face seen substitut- ing, added that few pranks were played on her and the ones that did occur were all good-natured fun, “life would be pretty dull without humor.” All the substitute teachers agree that the most famous an- tic was to have a friend come by the room and signal or maybe call out that he was wanted in the office by Mr. Wilson or Mr. “B”. Sometimes, there was an urgent phone call from his 18 Substitute Teachers mother and she was waiting on the line. Of course, there was never a pass to prove any of this. Alice Cudlipz, another sub- stitute, told in a questionnaire that the atmosphere here was good and that “students seem to like themselves and their school. ““Therefore, they like to learn and meet challenges suc- cessfully.” She went on to com- ment that she always enjoyed the fresh enthusiasm and ener- getic minds of high school stu- dents. “‘Substituting was a chance to meet interesting peo- ple and it was a pleasant way to spend the day,” remarked Ms. Cudlipz. Mrs. Wilma Mauren foundly remembered the incident that could have been a disaster but a student, Rob Lohr, saved the day. The lesson plans were ruined when the video recorder and T.V. monitor would not work. Rob Lohr came to the rescue by playing his guitar to the class. The job of the substitute was not an easy one. Substitutes were more than just babysitters. They were qualified to teach. On the average, most substi- tutes had a B.A. degree from college. Many had M.A. de- grees and some had doctoral work. The substitutes greatly appreciated the teacher who left adequate lesson plans, roll sheets, seating charts, etc. This made the job much easier and the day went by with more ease. Even though these things happened, substitutes enjoyed their jobs because they looked forward to meeting new people and to accepting each day as a challenge. “Where are you going?” Substitute, Gwynn Prideaux fulfills all the duties of a teacher, including checking Teresa Wiley’s pass. “Say What?” Mrs. Beverly Deacon, Science Department Chairperson, ex- plains Mrs. Tammy Nickel’s lesson plan to substitute Mike Gross. “Alright, who’s the wise guy?” While substituting in the English hall, Mrs. Wilma Mauren returns to her seat to find a black rubber snake waiting for her. a + b? = ?

Mr. John Mingus instructed students in skills necessary to continue on the stage after graduation. To provide an op- portunity to display their acting ability the Drama Department performed four plays. The Imaginary Invalid, an eighteenth century, French comedy was performed on No- vember 19th and 20th. The stu- dent spent well over forty-five hours practicing and rehears- ing. Argon, and main character, suffering was from hypocondra was played by Rob Howe. Bon- efoi (Bryan Tunnell) the “sneaky and conniving” and Beline (Lee Ann Wiiki) tried to persuade Argon to give the in- heritance money to them in- stead of writing a will and wait- ing until he dies. Meanwhile, Toinette (Sandy Gilford) the ““spicey’’ young maid, saw through their plan and warned Argon. Angelique (Cynthia An- drews) Argon’s daughter, mar- ried the man of her dreams Cleante (Jeff Brown) and solved her father’s dilemma. By planning to become a doctor, Argon’s son-in-law could save him a tremendous amount of money on his prescriptions. What could have been a dis- asterous situation for Argon at the beginning of the play turned into an advantageous one of him at the end. “It’s time.” Angelique (Cynthia An- drews) and Bonefoi (Bryan Tunnell) nervously wait in the wings before the Imaginary Invalid begins. “Bills, Bills, Bills!” In the Imaginary In- valid Argon (Rob Howe) is frustrated over his debts.

LIBRARY The Imaginary Invalid 21 Encore! Encore! (cont'd) uring the spring, the Drama department performed three one-act plays entitled “American Dream and other Delusions.” Over twenty-five hours of rehearsing were appre- ciated by three hundred fifty viewers. They gave four perfor- mances, three during the day to the English classes and another during the evening to the gener- al public. Before Breakfast, an ironic production, by Eugene O’Neill, starred one performer Shawn Stockwell as Mrs. Rowland. The play suggested the lack of communication in peoples lives. The audience observed Mrs. Rowland (alone on the stage) as she awoke before her husband, prepared breakfast and got ready to go to work. As she per- formed these chores she nagged her husband (in bedroom off stage) about his laziness and his unfaithfulness. During her de- No, it’s not to heavy. The Young Man (Barry Cook) takes Grandma’s pack- ages to the van. “Yes, quite good isn’t it.” In the Ameri- can Dream the Young Man (Barry Cook) explains his handsome features to Grandma (Sandy Gilford). nN Nm nunciations, gagging noises were heard from the bedroom. She gazed into the room and saw her husband with his throat cut from the razor he was hold- ing. A second play American Dream, was the climax of the three play series. The main characters included Daddy (Paul Haynes), Mommy (Cathy Cloud), Grandma (Sandy Gilford), the Young Man (Barry Cook) and Mrs. Barker (April Green). As Mr. Mingus stated “This play re- presented how people failed to communicate, love or show re- spect, honor or dignity. In addi- tion, they were denying those virtues upon which their society was founded.” In the play, Daddy, Mommy and Grandma lived together in a small meekly furnished apart- ment. Mommy and Daddy showed little respect to the old, but vivacious Grandma. They constantly threatened to call And Furthermore ...

Before Breakfast American Dream The Zoo Story the “van man” and have her carted away to the old folks’ home. A misunderstanding arose when Ms. Barker and the Young Man arrived unexpecta- bly. No one but Grandma knew the reason for the Young Man’s visit. This comedy pointed out the absurdity of life when individ- ual roles were not understood. Drama student, Cathy Cloud reviewed the play’s success: “It was the first play which I was really a part of. Mr. Mingus did an excellent job of directing and the play came together very well.” The Zoo Story, an Edward Albee play was of a “different sort’. It drew the audience into the character’s emotional tur- moil. One sunny day Peter (Bryan Tunnell) was relaxing on a park bench when he was approached by Jerry (Rob Howe). Jerry joined Peter on the bench and they talked for a while, until, suddenly Jerry be- “Don’t do that!” Jerry (Rob Howe) ex- presses his anger towards Peter (Bryan Tunnell) over who has the right to sit on the Park Bench in The Zoo Story. came angry about having to share the bench. The argument turned into violence when a knife was introduced and Peter accidently killed Jerry. Jerry’s death left Peter and the audi- ence numb. All three plays focused on the loss of faith in traditional American values and the break- down of the ability to communi- cate. As i n most “dark com- edies,” there was humor in the tragedy of the characters’ in- ability to communicate. As the drama students “en- trance” into the world of the- atre was the drama classes’ in- troductory skills, the “‘exit”’ was the professional and personal theatrical expertise gained from their experience on the stage during their high school years.

In the fall, Mrs. Sandy Lee’s Advanced P.E. classes took to the woods for a lesson in fishing at Swift Creek Reservoir. Even though they didn’t catch many fish, the students had a good time trying. For a different view of fish and reptiles, Mrs. Joyce Gaston took fifty people to the Marine Harbor Aquarium in Balti- more, Maryland, at $16.00 per person. Participants of this all day field trip not only toured the aquarium, they also visited Washington D.C. and the Washington Zoo. Mrs. Joyce Gaston commented “It was a fantastic experience and very educational.” Washington D.C. was the site of other visits by students j gw so EEE Be ES Hook and Sinker.

Eleven library aides and chaperones toured the Library of Congress, the Su- preme Court Building, Virginia Senator Paul Trible’s Office and the Air and Space Muse- um. Library aide, Dorse Taylor remarked “The architectural design of the government build- ings were unbelievable.” In April, Mrs. Mary Jo Lux’s 11th grade English classes went to the American Gallery of Art and the National Gallery of Art. They were gone the whole day to conduct research on art- ists. They had lunch on the Mall lawn, between the Washington Monument and the Capitol Building, and enjoyed watching the joggers pass by. While some of us were at home thinking of something to do over Spring Break, Mrs. Lin- da Davidson and fifteen foreign language students were touring Germany, France, Belgium and Holland.

The cost for this visit to experience “Uni- verse” was $3.25 per person. On a clear June afternoon, fifty students and seven faculty braved the brisk currents on the | James River on a raft trip. Be- ginning at Pony Pasture, the three hour trip cost $11.00 per person and was sponsored by the Physical Education Depart- ment. When students returned to the inside world of the school building they realized by the knowledge that they had ac- quired that field trips were more than a day away from school.

But behind the scenes, the life of a fashion model is drudgery; long hours of preparation, practice and self- discipline. In order to appreciate the rig- ors of the demanding career of Fashion Merchandising, Mrs. Francine Haymes’ and Mrs. Lisa Bear’s classes presented students with an opportunity to look inside the world of fashion. The Fashion Show, “Swing into Spring,” presented by the Fashion Merchandising classes was a Students’ way of looking into the world of frills and fab- rics. On May 3rd and 4th twen- ty-nine female models and six male models presented current spring fashions to students and guests. The new look for Spring con- sisted of business-wear, “new wave’, beach casual and for- mal apparel. Business wear for women was comfortable, easy- to-wear styles in soft pastels and whites. The shoes were low- heeled for easy movement. In mens’ fashions, business suits were of brown tones. The next scene entitled “‘Fif- ties” was like a flashback to the 50’s and the early 60’s. A soda shop setting complete with jukebox, blared “Rock around the Clock’’ while models danced the jitter bug and the twist. Much of the influence of the Marilyn Monroe era had reappeared and had been re- styled to meet the mod of the eighties. The cigarette leg jeans were shown in shades of purple and worn with brightly colored stockings and high heels. Final- ly the mini-skirts of the 60’s made a big come back. In “Beach and Casual” wear, the styles were designed for the fun filled days in the summer sun. The colors for men were rich shades of green and fuch- sia. Casual wear for women in- cluded bermuda shorts, sun- dresses in pastel prints and stripes and swimsuits in the same hues and patterns. For special occasions, the prom dresses were of soft colors, in off-the-shoulder feminine styles. To learn more about fashion, thirteen Fashion Merchandis- ing students took a trip to the “Big Apple.” While in New York, they met a “Halston” male model and the editor-in- chief of Gentlemens’ Quarterly (GQ) magazine. The students also saw the new clothing for a Broadway show which starred Twiggy and enjoyed going backstage to meet the cast of the Broadway show “Snoopy”. They concluded their visit by attending the Broadway pro- duction of “Joseph”’ starring David Cassidy. To raise the $375 per student cost of the trip, the students sold cookies, worked jobs after school and borrowed the rest of the money from their parents. The classes attended a “Tali Girl” fashion show at the down- town Thalhimers Department Store. They also received “‘in- valuable” assistance from Mr. John Mingus, Drama teacher. He instructed them on stage poise and stressed the “in the mood” mentality to fit a par- ticular scene. “Put another quarter in.” Kelly Tuck brings back the styles of the 50’s and 60’s while listening to the jukebox. eg Ready for business.

They chose the assort- ment and styles of clothing that they wished to present to each model. Models chose one outfit from their own wardrobes and one from local clothing stores such as Foxmoor, Penney’s and Dee’s Casuals. The performance raised $300 which covered the cost of the production. The show helped the students to learn many of the aspects involved in the com- plex world of fashion designing and fashion promotion. They were informed about the new 8th and Main.

In addi- tion, they learned to select ap- propriate merchandise and to understand fashion trends and cycles. The act of modeling in front of friends, peers, and fam- ily taught self-discipline, con- trol, poise and self-confidence. When asked if the fashion show was a profitable produc- tion, Mrs. Lisa Bear comment- ed, “I feel that both the teach- ers and students worked together to make the show a success. Much of the effort that went into the fashion show was unseen, but credit is due to the Ready for a dip.

Let Us Entertain You veryone knows that entertainment is more than watching television for six hours a day, or listening to the stereo on the way home from school, or on a Friday or Satur- day night while out cruisin’. En- tertainment is any art form that stimulates whether funny, sad, musical or thought provoking. It can consist of a one man band to a cast of thousands. It can make you laugh or cry or stand up and dance. A large spectrum of enter- tainment was provided from a Gong Show toa Air Band, from dances to a music video. A vari- ety of entertainment tastes were quenched. The Senior Class held the annual Gong Show. Winning acts such as the °83 Rockers, singing “Lies” and ‘‘Boom, Boom, Out Go the Lights” and singers doing an original rendition of ‘‘The Twelve Grades of School” were some favorites. During the Miss Meadow- brook Pageant, actors Bryan Tunnell, Chase Tunnell and “Here’s to you” At the Harambe Ban- quet in October, Jackie Fields sang a tribute called ““Donnie’s Song”. Barry Cook performed a comi- cal bar room skit entitled “Wanted.” At the Mock Wed- ding for the Family Living Class, Guy Miles and James Branch sang along with the Lio- nel Richie song “One in a Mil- lion”, while Jackie Fields and Paul Haynes sang a duet named “With You I’m Born Again”. As an outside project with the Media Club and Chesterfield Cable Chris Kontoponas, Jeff Combs, Rob Lohr and Scott Murphy worked on a Music video based on Chris’ original song called “Cover Girl’. Not to be forgotten, Jazz Lab per- formed during halftime at the Boys’ Varsity Basketball games and also for one of the Universi- ty of Richmond Spiders’ Half- time shows. The Air Band Con- test was a new additon to Senior Week. Acts such as the Village People, Joan Jett and the Black Hearts, The Rolling Stones and The Weather Girls were all big hits. Entertainment was found be- hind every corner from the class clown to an elaborate stage pro- duction. The wide variety of en- joyment grabbed the attention of all and brought “‘a smile to everyone’s taste’. “Flashdance”’.

It was PERT day. From 7:50 a.m.-8:15 a.m. every Wednes- day was set aside for PERT. PERT, Pleasurable Reading Time, in its second year of exis- tence, was a program to encour- age students to enjoy reading. As Mrs. Rosenbaum, Coordin- ator of the program, explained, ‘PERT has been about seventy- five percent successful this year.” She went on to say, “on the other hand, some people don’t like PERT. Most students have never had a good exper- ience reading a book so they would much rather do other things. They resent PERT be- Monotous ...

When asked what they would do, “I would rather be doing my homework than reading,” stat- ed Amanda Stiltner. As SCA Sponsor Mrs. Da- vidson said, “Reading is some- thing you will do for the rest of your life. In many rooms PERT is a success. In others, PERT is not so successful.’ Mrs. David- son feels that it was because “teachers are not stressing or encouraging PERT as much as they should.” She felt that stu- dents may not read because they have not taken time to pick out a book or magazine they like. While it took time for people to get use to PERT, it became an accepted part of the school day. Some people even looked forward to Wednesday to break up a monotous week. PERT-Lag!

Ray Fisher makes the final t ouches in a circuit band before dipping it in an acid bath. 34 In an anonymous question- naire Tech students gave their opinions of the Center. Some in- teresting results were uncov- ered. For instance, many of the students didn’t mind missing school activities while they were at the Tech Center. One student stated that “I’m already two years ahead of someone who hasn’t had Tech experience.” The students get a chance to do what they like while learning a skill that will help them later in life. They felt the instructors were very helpful and were skilled in their fields of work. Another student added, ‘“‘we have picnics, free days, rallys, and other fun things.’ The same student went on to say that the Tech Center is an op- portunity not given to everyone and if someone got the chance to go then they should...” A “Not Too Short!” While attending Chesterfield Tech Center, April Plum- mer, Kim Alston, Rebecca Jennette, and Andrea Stuart practice the new method of styling hair in their Cosme- tology class. Horticulture student when asked what improvements were needed at the center replied, “do you really believe in that thing about everything needs improvement? It’s possible, but some things are best the way they are.’ The students felt they were being treated like adults. Some also felt that the Tech Center was a great place to learn a career. Today with the greater vari- ety in student scheduling, there are more choices offered for de- cisions about careers and life after school. The Tech Center provides these students with a unique outlet for learning and having fun. Hot Wire. Jamie Glidewell works on a circuit break in the Electricity Course at Chesterfield Tech.

The completed brick pillars with the school name located at the entrance and exit of the driveway gave the finishing touches to the school’s appearance. Fall ushered in the tradition of Homecoming, but it wasn’t so traditional. Seniors Brian Sadler and Mark Shaffer boosted class spirit by coming dressed in Hefty 32 gallon trash bags. The Class of °84 was a “big hit” at the Homecoming pep rally by carrying a 8 ft. x 4 ft. banner across the football field that stated ““Awesome °84.” The chilly winds of November were warmed by an enjoyable “‘first’’, Powder Puff football game. Teachers and seniors squared off against underclassmen, with the younger members reigning victorious. ' Throughout the year, the new construction reflected the change in physical alterations as well as creating new dimensions for student life. Choices for entering and exiting the building were limited. One day there was an exit at the end of the Health Hall, the next day, the exit disappeared. Not all the changes were pleasing but practi- cality dictated the removal of windows looking onto the SCA courtyard and the building of a cement wall in order to add two new science Classes. While somethings were going up, others were coming down. The canopy in the smoking area used to protect smokers from the weather myste- riously collapsed one day. However, the addition of benches and painted barrels for trash cans improved this area. The parking lot could not go unnoticed be- cause it showed the imagination of frustrated drivers. As the new construction reduced the number of parking spaces by 60 spaces, creative parking emerged. Parking spaces were supplied on the football field, around the back of school, on the edges of the front lawn and across the street — anywhere there was an available spot! As the most intricate details were observed, students watched as both the structure of school and student life took a new shape. 36 Student Life Divider Nap time.

Hoping to get the blood circulating in his numb hands and feet, he decided to climb down from his stand and prowl around. Thus goes a day in a hunt- er’s life. As the leaves turned bright shades of red and orange, the last days of summer fade into fall. Vacations to the mountains, vis- its to the world’s fair, outings to the beach, water skiing, and swim- ming would have to make way for other outdoor activities. Hunting, | camping and chilly Friday night football games brought out heavy — coats and Thermoses of warm drinks.

Those last few weeks of the beach, summer jobs, and lazing around faded quickly as a new school year began, bringing fall with it. For the football team, the cheer- leaders and the band, hours of summer practice finally paid off when the first football game and the first day of school came for the Marching Band. Fall meant a chance to compete at county and state fairs. Our own Miss Mea- dowbrook, Sarah Stewart, was honored at the county fair by being crowned Miss Chesterfield County Fair. As Homecoming Week ap- proached, pep rallies went from competition between the four classes to encouragement for the football team from the school as a whole. Every Friday, banners hung outside the school and stadi- um giving the team much inspira- tion. The first bonfire in years was a bright highlight in the events promoting football. Another football event that re- ceived vigorous support was the powder-puff football game. The all female teams consisted of under- classmen against seniors and teachers. A cheering section was led by male faculty and students dressed as girls. The whole school turned out for this amusing dis- play. Teachers, those benevolent bes- towers of knowledge, helped boast the spirit of Homecoming week by celebrating Tacky Teacher Day. Dressing in outlandish clothing, origin unknown, they arrived at school looking like characters of disrepair, disrespect and possibly ill-repute. Everyone enjoyed the change in pace. Dances were a frequently held event after a football game or to celebrate a holiday activity. People showed up in the latest fashions and danced to the new wave and old wave sounds. Besides dances, students enjoyed hanging out at lo- cal night spots. As October approached, so did the upcoming holiday cheer. At Halloween, many students worked in “The Haunted Hotel’ others dressed in wild costumes for the day at school. In November, Meadowbrook hosted the Girls’ Dominion Dis- Snap! Crackle! Pop!

You wrecked your car and have a hot date for Friday night. Your friend offers the use of his wheels and tells you “it’s nothin’.” Or you're pressed for time and need to pick up a couple of concert tickets. Your friend offers to pick up yours as well as his tickets. Think back on all those Monday mornings when you and your friends would stand in the hall and chat about the weekend events; the party at John’s after Friday night’s game, the shopping trip to the mall, and the midnight movies. Friendships are also handy for studying at mid-terms, triple-dat- ing to the prom and just goofing off when there’s nothing else to do. Friends band together to win a pep rally for their class, to prepare for Homecoming Week and to partici- pate in fundraising activities. While girl friends spend hours gossiping on the phone, fixing each others’ hair and planning their new strategy for getting the boys to ask them out; boys are busy discussing or playing sports, comparing ears, trading information about after- school jobs and girl-watching.

Homecoming, the most memora- ble week of the fall, began with the wearing of class colors. Blue white, dark light blue, and enliv- ened the halls with spirit. On Monday, the senior class got off to a head start in enthusiastic participation by winning four points for wearing its class colors of blue and white. Tuesday’s fes- _ tivities included the crowding into of students into the gym for the -SCA’s “Banana Eat.” For the sec- ond year in a row, Scott Shapiro was the first to down four bananas. But Jackie Nashette showed that he wasn’t monkeying around when he finished with a close second. Halls decorated with class spirit made it easy to get through Hump Day. Creative energies were put to use. The walls were decked with socks, playing cards and posters. The Seniors gambled on the theme of “Victory is in the Cards” and hit. the jackpot with first place. The Sophomores fired up and came in second by “Executing the Eagles” with a judge and jury. Upon arriving at school on Thursday, students searched fran- tically for paper footballs that were hidden in secret places throughout the school. The Sopho- mores proved to be the best hunt- ers, winning first place while the juniors were hot on the trail with second place. Finally the big day arrived. The excitement and intensity filled the air. Sophomores dressed up in win- ter clothes to “Freeze the Eagles,” while seniors pulled out their toy guns and camouflaged jackets in order to “Hunt down the Eagles.” After the Marching Band proudly played the National An- them all the week’s pent-up spirit was released at the outdoor pep rally.

Do you talk with °S0’s and °60’s expressions or are you up-to-date with the catchy phrases and new ways of commu- nication? Have you plugged into new technology? Are computers, mu- sic, videos or video arcades your passion? Are you still watching “Leave It To Beaver” reruns or are you turned into the cinema verité of “Hill Street Blues?” Is eating at a fast food restau- rant slowing your digestion down? Or are you dining with ease in an exotic setting? Or does it matter, if your style is “in” or “out”, as long as it reflects your personality. The following list of “‘in’s” and “‘out’s” represent stu- dent observations in the beginning of 1983 of what’s “thot” and what’s not.” The instability of trends tells us that they tend to change from day “se to day. Something that is “in” to- day, maybe “out” tomorrow and something “‘out’? today maybe “in” tomorrow. ee « a Music DEVO Rex Smith Scott Baio Shawn Cassidy Blondie Cars The Doobie Brothers The Spinners Linda Ronstadt Boston Village People Earth, Wind, and Fire Elton John Stevie Wonder Woody Guthrie Supertramp Dolly Parton Donna Summer Andy Gibb Marilyn McCoo Tammy Wynette Barry Manilow George Jones October’s issue.

It really didn’t matter where; all that was needed was a good place to have fun with your friends. On week nights, you could find teenagers eating at Co- losseo’s, Pizza Inn, Pizza Den at Meadowdale Plaza, gossiping about the days events at school. In addition to “pigging out” on pizza, a main attraction was the game room at Pizza Den. A large crowd could always be seen gathered around Pac Man, Donkey Kong or any other video game. Senior Rob- in King said, ““Going to Pizza Den, there seems to be always some- thing to do and my friends like go- ing there, too.” If you weren't in the mood for eating, maybe catching the latest horror, romance or adventure movie at Midlothian Cinema was the thing to do. Couples, friends, small and large groups regularly gathered at this popular hang-out. Monarch Magic!

The Gang’s All Here (cont’d) It, too, had a game room and was always filled with sounds of elec- tronic blips and blasts as well as exclamations of joy and defeat. Right across from the cinema was Putt Putt, an outdoor game of skill and frustration. There, many of your friends could be seen tak- ing on the challenge of that little white golf ball. For music and dancing, Much More, a local night spot, was the place to be. On Friday and Satur- day nights, “Young Virginians’ Night” drew an enthusiastic group of punkers, rockers, and lookers- on. If it was action you wanted, cruisin’ Broad Street was a sure way to see those friends who had the money for gas but no place to go. Sophomores Wanda Gentry and Steve Neal both liked cruisin’ Broad Street because “‘you can see many exciting and weird happen- ings.” But the weekends couldn’t last forever. The next thing you knew, Monday morning had arrived and you were back in school. But the social life continued, for there were many places around the school where people could hang out. Before school the cafeteria wasn’t just for eating a quick breakfast or juice and biscuits; stu- dents gathered around tables to discuss the previous weekend’s events. Neither was the library just for studying or for doing last minute homework. Small groups of two or three students would be checking out the flow of traffic in and out of the library, while couples would be sitting at isolated tables with eyes only for each other. A very popular place to congre- gate before homeroom was the in- tersection of the 100 hall and the new wing. Pushing your way through throngs of people, you’d see students talking with friends or teachers, studying for tests or quiz- zes, getting books out of lockers or just waiting around for a friend. The smoking area was also a. good place to hang out before the bell, between classes and duri lunches. The elements of weathe and the collapse of the canopy did not discourage students from s fying that nicotine fit or cate up on the latest news. For a breath of fresh air many students gathered out in the court yard. In the morning, during lunc time, during study hall for seniors only, and after school, students lounged around outdoors. Talking on the phone or to friends sitting on — the stone benches provided a break from the noisy and hectic: atmo- sphere indoors. But the trials and tribulations of the week days finally came to an end. Once again it was Friday. “What are we se do to- night?” “I don’t know, whatcha wanna do?” “I don’t know either, why don’ t J we just hang out?”’ : “Jim’s Bad SS” Proud of the engine power of his Big Block 402, Jimmy Hen- drick’s ’71 Chevelle is well equipped to race at South- side Speedway. “David’s Bad 69” To assure the high performance of his engine, David Deal spends a great deal of time working on his pick-up truck.

A car beside you jumps and revs up its engine; the driver wants to race. The red light switches to green. You take off with a piercing screech, spinning wheels, and a lin- gering cloud of dust in the air. What type of car and what kind of person would take on such a chal- lenge to drag? The cars people drive and the way they drive them tell us a great deal about the drivers and their personalities. For example, if you want speed you might drive a loud and rough “bad” car with wide tires, crager rims, a chrome breather, and an internal high per- formance motor. Such a car would be driven by someone who likes to work on cars to get the utmost performance and showmanship. “I like my car be- cause I built it, says Jimmy Hen- drick, and I am proud of the job I have done.” Paul Weedon agreed with Jimmy, as he remembered, “When I wrecked my car, it felt great to know that I put it back together, not some mechanic.” If it’s style you want, you might buy a sporty car with good han- dling, four wheel disc breaks, and a T-Top. This type of car might be driven by someone who likes to cruise with his stereo blasting on XL-102 or Q94. “I feel my car is special because it’s the fastest Trans-Am ever built,” says Ted Driskill. Of course, maybe the sporty look isn’t your style. Maybe you want the sophisticated look. A sporty little TR7, like Chris Da- vis’, with two doors, a white body, black racing stripes, and a red and black interior might be more your choice. Ridin’ in style!

Such cars are usually driven by someone who feels that “they don’t make cars like they used to.” Another classic car that turns heads is Paul Prideaux’s 68 Mus- tang with its keystone rims, white letter radials and fog lights. “Ever since I was young I’ve admired and wanted a Mustang. Now I’ve got it,” boasted Paul. If practicality is what one pre- fers, look for a small economic car that is good on gas. Such a driver might be saving his or her money for something else, more special than a car. This is the case with Senior Kathy Ruckart who stated, “IT need an economical car with good gas because I'll be paying for half of my college education.” If you are a nature lover you _ might like to drive something more _ rugged than a car. Having the power under the hood to get through mud or up hills appeals to truck owner David Deal. But no matter what type of vehi- cle each person might want, every- one wants to be behind the driver’s seat of his or her own car. As Sniff- n-Tears say in their song Driver’s Seat, “Doing alright a little driv- ing on a Saturday night, and come what may, gonna drive this day away.” You'll find all of these types of | cars in the parking lot at 4901 Cogbill Road. There, 300 regis- tered student-driven cars faithful- ly sit side by side, waiting for their owners to return. Surprisingly, 28% of the cars are economical, 24% are sporty, 16% are souped- up, 13% rugged, 10% are an as- sortment, 6% are foreign, with classic cars trailing with only 3%. The number of working students increases every year, and conse- quently, the number of cars driven to school increases. This year the parking space has been decreased by 60 spaces because of construc- tion. Assistant Principal, Wayne Wilson reported, “We did have 196 spaces before construction but by January 1983, we only had 136. However, this didn’t stop many students from driving to school.” Of the 900 eligible student driv- ers, and the 300 registered stu- dent-drivers very few actually own their cars. Although many students don’t always get their “dream car” right away, even an old clunker gives the satisfaction of ownership. Wheth- er you buy it yourself by working at McDonald’s, Farm Fresh, Phil- ip Morris, or a paper route, or get it as a gift, you know it’s yours. “It’s a lot better having my own car. People notice me more in my Mustang than they do when they see me driving my parent’s car,” says Jeff Burgess. “After all, you are what you drive.” “I would much rather own my own car,” re- marked Angie Lawson, “because it’s something of mine and I can take care of it the way I want to.” For some of us the dream of own- ing a car may not come true as soon as we wish, but we can all keep on dreaming of being in our own driver’s seat someday.

A catchy beat filling the air seems ap- propriate when cruising Broad Street, doing homework or just driving home after a long day at school. In a school poll taken in early February, rock topped the charts school-wide as the most popular musical style, but soul and country also had a large following. Groups like Van Halen, L ynard Skynard and The Rolling Stones were still among the favorite bands. Van Halen was also voted the best concert band because it “was a great perfor- mance, and it jammed hard.” Coming up on the soul chart were Prince, The Time, and Grand Master Flash. Alabama was the favorite for country. The seniors and sophomores liked the song “Freebird” by Lynard Skynard, as their all time favorite, while the juniors liked the old-time clas- sic “Stairway to Heaven” by Led Zeppelin. The freshmen preferred Rick Springfield as their favorite male singer, the sophomores liked Billy Squier and the juniors and seniors favored Bob Seger. Pat Benatar was voted the favorite female vocalist by everyone. The song “Down Under” was extremely popular school-wide. Hearing the sounds of music to suit one’s mood makes everything ‘‘Feel so Right.” The intensity of musical rhythms makes people want to tap their feet or even stand up and dance. Stuck on you.

Making the Usual Unusual he myth that school activities would be “the same old thing” was clearly exploded. Stu- dent activities were unusual events, new interpre- tations were given to familiar traditions and unique twists changed the ordinary into the ex- traordinary. During Homecoming, faculty members showed their school spirit and enthusiasm in an unorthodox way. The traditional picture of edu- cators dressed in professional clothing was given a new meaning. By combining outfits of various styles and eras, “Tacky Teacher Day” was born. Teachers, Administrators and staff shed their practical clothes and surprised students with their ingenious wardrobes. On a brisk fall afternoon the familiar tradition of football was given a new twist when a large excited crowd of fans climbed into the bleachers and stood along the fence to get a closer look at the action on the football field. Teachers and stu- dents of the female sex challenged a team of un- derclassmen in a serious but amusing game of skill and physical ability. This was pushed to the limit when male cheerleaders donned the girl’s cheerleading outfits and shouted cheers for their favorite team. Another favorite tradition of another fund rais- ers for clubs received some new areas of competi- tion. For ten cents a vote, students vied for the affections of their peers by conducting a Sweet- heart Contest. Kip Anderson and Sherry Balser won the hearts of the voters and were announced the winners at the Harambe Sweetheart Dance. 66 Unusual events A little skin was flashed in the Pretty Legs Contest to help support Tri-Hi-Y activities. For just one penny the student body choose their fa- vorite male “gam” on the football team. Bruce Salder’s legs were victorious. In the spring there was a school wide search to find out who demonstrated the greatest physical powers. The Physical Education and the Art De- partments’ Arm Wrestling Contest achieve the quest for the “strongest arm in the South.” An unique approach on the academic level was obvious in room 302. Instead of drawing and lis- tening to the instruction of Mr. Sterling Haw- kins, the Engineering Class was assigned an ex- traordinary “hands on” project that consisted of three hundred toothpicks and Elmer’s glue. Stu- dents took their ideas and transformed them into bridges. The ultimate test was for the bridges to withstand the weight of three bricks. There were just a couple of casualties. An activity that helped shed a new light on the everyday routine of attending school was the Stu- dent Exchange Program. Mills Godwin and Manchester High Schools swapped some of their students for some of ours. Outdoors, the drab atmosphere of the smoking area was spruced up by the arrival of wooden benches and new trash barrels. This needed im- provement helped to decorate the exterior of the building. Although some students may have thought that the activities were still “the same old thing,” others noticed that there were a few new surprises that changed the ordinary events into new excit- ing ones.

As the curtains drew back and the stage lights came up, the Miss Meadowbrook Pageant began. A night of dazzling entertainment and excitement would follow. Expectations ran high as the weeks of hard work and hours of rehearsals culminated in an unforgettable occasion for fourteen young ladies and their escorts. These excited contestants moved through their well-orchestrated steps to the crowning of a new Miss Meadowbrook. Brian Sadler, S.C.A. President and Lesley Driver, Homecoming Queen commenced with the traditional introduction of the participants and their escorts. The panels of judges ranged from professional television and radio personal- ities to cosmetic consultants and directors of Richmond Pageants. A different twist was added as the girls gave two group performances. They showed their originality and poise in a business routine called ‘Sophisticated Lady.’ Later, contestants “worked out” to an upbeat dance exercise from the music of “Magnum P.I.” Pageant Coordina- tor, Mrs. Linda Davidson commented, “‘All of the dance routines and business sketches gave the girls a different view and a relaxed look.” The audience was entertained by the contes- tants individual talents which ranged from sing- ing and dancing to dramatic readings and piano performances. In addition to the traditional participants in . the pageant, other people got involved in the pro- duction. Individual students in art, drama, band, and chorus shared their talents in brief interludes to enhance the pageant. The escorts had a chance to show their personalities by “strutting” across the stage in tuxedoes from Mitchell’s Formal Wear. The sights and sounds of Broadway were brought to life by the ingenious props designed by Bonnie Culbertson. Barry Cook, Bryan Tunnell, and Chase Tunnell treated the audience to some comic relief by presenting a pantemine, ““Want- ed.”” While the judges computed their final scores, the theme song “‘She’s the One” was sung in an unique rendition by Sherry Balser, Paul Haynes, Bridgette Simmons, Alan Baird, Lesley Driver, and Mike Estes. A variety of contempo- rary music was provided by alumnus, Ehab Elna- hal, as well as, Chris Kontanponas, Jeff Combs, and Rob Lohr. Tension was heightened in the concluding seg- ment of the pageant by the announcement of the six finalists. Each of the finalists was asked two questions: first, about her interest and hobbies; second, concerning her opinion on what the world would be like in the year 2000 and what role she - would play in that year. Some interesting com- ment reactions to the second question received an arousing response from the audience. The fina- lists predicted that in the year 2000 there would be everything from “robots” and “flying cars” to “ordering your baby”. Finally, the judges reached their decision. The moment of truth had arrived. The drum roll has- tened the audience’s anticipation of the winners. Debbie Fuller was voted ““Miss Congenality” by her fellow contestants and Michi Izquierdo was named first runner-up. In an unprecedented event, Debbie Fuller returned to center stage to be crowned Miss Meadowbrook. Debbie ex- pressed her joy at being selected, “I was sur- prised, excited and honored to be chosen by judges who did not know me”’. After numerous pictures and bountiful ap- plause, the lights on Broadway came down again, but the glow of the evening’s memories burned on. iTS GWNS “= DC ’ All smiles!

Thunder roars! Rain pours! Umbrellas go up! In- side, the Commonwealth Hall of the John Marshall Hotel the story was different. Candlelight, roman- tic music, elaborate decorations and warm laughter brightened the atmosphere. Six hundred twenty people at- tended the dance dressed in ele- gant long dresses and tuxedos. No Levis, Jordache jeans or tennis shoes could be found. Not only were the guys dressed in tuxedos but for the first time two girls, Brandy Bigley and Darlene Atkin- son also donned the traditional man’s attire. When asked about the reaction of her peers when they noticed her, Darlene Atkinson re- marked, “I got a lot of nasty looks from girls but most of the guys and teachers complimented me. I felt more with my date since we were alike; maybe we started a trend.” The prom theme was ‘‘Up Where We Belong.” As the band “Casper” played, many of the stu- dents and other guests boogied the night away from 8:00 p.m. to 12:00 p.m. Mid-way through the evening twenty-two seniors participated in the Senior Figure; Chris Konto- panos and Kathy Ruckart were an- nounced King and Queen of the prom. Chris received a sceptre and Kathy received a crown and a doz- en of roses. When asked her first reaction after becoming queen, Kathy Ruckart replied, “At the same time I was happy and sur- prised. I was excited and honored about being in the senior figure, but I had no idea I would be named queen.” The king, Chris Konto- panos replied, “it really didn’t sink in at first; I was in a daze.” As the night went on, people danced, munched out, and took photos.

Not all of those who attended the dance were accompanied by a date. Several prom-goers decided to go in a small group instead of paired off. As Debbie Dillard stat- ed, “Maybe since some of us went stag it will encourage others to at- tend next year. A prom doesn’t come everyday and one should not miss it! It was an experience to re- member!” For many prom-goers the dance was not the only exciting event of the evening. Before the prom many couples dined at the Tobacco Company, Red Lobster, and the Top of the Tower. After the prom some couples went out to breakfast or journeyed to Virginia Beach. Others like Robin King, Deanna Kennedy, and Diane Chewning ac- companied by their dates, contin- ued to dance the night away in their prom attire at MUCH MORE on Broad Street. Due to the organization and dedication of the Junior Class sponsored by Mrs. Carol Davies and Mrs. Barbara Tucker, the Ju- nior-Senior Prom was, as King Chris replied, “Excellent”’. All too soon, the gala event came to an end. Inside, the candles were blown out and holders were filled with melted wax. The music had subsided and the noise in the room diminished into complete si- lence. Outside, the rain had stopped, the storm was over and so was the prom.

The class of 83 knew this would be the final time that they would spend together before activities would cul- minate on the big night June 10th ... Gradu- ation. The week started off with Slave Day. To the underclassmen this span of time could be regard- ed as D-Day. ““Ankle-Biters” went through such ordeals as rolling pennies down the hall with their noses, duck-walking accompanied by ‘“quack- quacking” and scrubbing dirty clothes in a wash tub for distinguished Seniors. But all in all the underclassmen knew the taunting was in good taste and that their day for revenge would soon come. “Grab the blanket!” “Smash the ants!” “It’s time for the Senior Picnic!” At 11:30.a.m. Seniors made a mad dash to their cars to move onto the front lawn for two hours of nonstop excitement. This high old time had all the necessary fixin’s; hamburgers and steaks cooked on small tag-a- long grills, car stereo’s blaring rock music and frisbees averting human targets. Village People, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Mike Jagger and the Rolling Stones and the Weathergirls performed for an enthusiastic audi- ence in the Air Band Contest, the fourth event of Senior Week. Chris Kontopanos, Jeff Combs, Rob Lohr, Richard Ledford, and Scott Murphy walked away with Ist place for their imperson- ations of the Rolling Stones. Senior Take-Over Day took the students by storm.

One hundred sixty Seniors received their first taste of the joy of graduating at Baccalaureate on June 5th, at 3:00 p.m., as they gathered for the first time dressed in their caps and gowns. Participants and guests endured stiffling tem- peratures as they listened to Reverend C.L. Thompson, Senior Pastor at Southside Church of the Nazarene, open the ceremony with the invo- cation. Next, Reverend Cecil Chambers deliv- ered his concise message that students should uti- lize their talents and education in order to successfully attain their individual goals. After the sermon, the school choir sang “Prayer for Peace. The following week of school was among the most difficult for the 83ers. Most were busy studying for exams, finishing projects and term papers, and making arrangements for gradu- ation. However, on June 10th, Seniors had a very light schedule; — the Senior Class picture in the morning, followed by a reception that afternoon. Two silver candelabras one of the many gifts from the Class of 83, added a touch of class to the reception table. Several faculty members donat- ed and served baked goods, and scrumptious snacks for Seniors and their guest. Mrs. Linda Davidson, organizer of the event, was glad to see “teachers were more than willing to help out, even though it was a very hectic time.” It was a “compliment to the Seniors,” she added, “‘that so many teachers attended.” Friday, June 10th, 317 eager Seniors gathered at 8:00 p.m. for commencement exercises. Rever- end Gerald R. Chancellor opened the ceremonies and was followed by Salutatorian Laura Padgett, who welcomed all on a warm and optimistic note. Valedictorian Laura Woodlief, advised her class- mates that at this crossroads in their lives they needed to be flexible in order to make decisions and to handle careers. Scholarships included the Mack D. Moore Me- morial Scholarship awarded to Chi Pham and the Faculty Scholarship awarded to Paul Mosca. Senior Class President Paul Mosca introduced the guest speaker, Dr. John T. Casteen, III, Vir- ginia Secretary of Education. He suggested that Seniors take notice of advancing technology to keep up with a changing world. The first Senior to receive a diploma was Mi- chael R. Morris, followed by his elated and rowdy classmates. Special honorary diplomas were giv- en to Mrs. Toni Dawson and to Mr. Larry W. Buchanan, both of whom the Seniors considered part of the Class of 83. Finally the moment arrived. Principal, Mr. Bu- chanan, declared the class with the key, ““Gradu- ates of °83”'!!!

Graduation 79 Accepting Challenges hen athletes broke out of the huddle, rushed out of the locker room, or ran out of the dug out, their spirits fluctuated from moments of bot- toming out with disappointing defeats, to peaking with triumphant victories. Fall brought brisk breezes and an uneven feeling toward sports. Both J.V. and Varsity football were plagued by misfortunes, but they continued to play with the will to survive. Girls’ J.V. Basketball had moderate success, while Girls’ Varsity Basketball rose to the chal- lenge of their rivals as District Tournament Champs. In Cross Country “‘a giant leap for women-kind”’ was made when the girls established their own team. Boys’ Cross Country were District runner- ups and qualified for the state competition. Young and inexperienced, the Field Hockey team played enthusiastically. The change of the season from spring to fall didn’t hamper the golf team’s perfor- mance. Winter’s coldness was warmed by hot rivalries and competitiveness. Boys’ J.V. Basketball emerged as Dominion District Champions while Boys’ Varsity Basketball gained notoriety for plac- ing second in the Dominion District. Girls’ Gym- nastics finished fourth in District Tournaments. As spring flowers blossomed, spirits flourished. Varsity Baseball, “Cardiac Kids” provided the fans with exciting games. J.V. Baseball became prominent with its consistent wins. Softball main- tained its Champion status while Girls’ Track emerged undefeated. Boys’ Track had the best re- cord (8-2) in the school’s history. Young blood joined experience players in their devotion to soccer. Although Boys’ Gymnastics didn’t have many competitors, they strived for ex- cellence. Both Boys’ and Girls’ Tennis swung into District Tournaments. It was apparent that teams were “psyched up” to win by coaches, cheerleaders, Marching Unit and Monarettes. Fan support was in full view as stu- dents, faculty, parents and the community boosted morale. Each season’s distinctive flavor was evident. Challenges were accepted, dealt with and finished off. No matter what the outcome, individual and team efforts didn’t go unnoticed. 80 Sports Divider We'll show ya how it’s done!

Requirements includ- ed passing grades in all subjects as well as demonstrating phys- ical abilities in gymnastics skills and coordination. Personal as- sets such as communication skills, reliability, instilling school spirit and establishing good rapport with fans were necessary to qualify. J.V. and Varsity cheer- leaders practiced twice a week for two hours during the sum- mer months in preparation for cheerleading camp in August. They attended the Universal Cheerleading Association Camp at Old Dominion Univer- sity. At camp, the Varsity squad won the overall Spirit Award for their pep enthusi- asm, and cooperative attitude. J.V. Cheerleaders: Front Row: Ann Futch, Donna Wilkenson. Back Row: Lori Bardon, Kathy Jones, Lynn Whitt, They also placed second in per- formance among other Varsity squads in Virginia.

During the football season the girls practiced once a week and cheered at the night games. They also aroused spirit at two games a week for the en- tire season of Girls’ and Boys’ basketball. On the average, the time spent for cheering was three nights a week between football and basketball. “Cheering was worth all the time spent. It was a spirited year and we got a lot accom- plished,” commented Captain Becky Strobel. The cheerleaders not only created school spirit and cheered their fellow Monarchs to victory, they also handled the ads campaign for the football programs. The girls sold adver- tisements and sponsorships to area businesses and supporting parents.

Cheerleaders provided their own financial support through many fund-raisers. They sold candy, Monarch towels, flow- ers, and spirit buttons. These funds compensated for new uni- forms, paint sets for signs and lessened their debts. Cheerleaders received much help from mascots, Laura Ben- ford and Vicki Ellis to promote school spirit. Laura aided the J.V. squad while Vicki assisted the Varsity. Both were chosen for their spirit and creative ideas in getting their classes to cheer at the games and pep ral- lies. These enthusiastic mascots encouraged individual students to participate at the pep rallies and games. “Cheering itself is great but when you get to the people it feels like you’ve really accomplished something: feel- ing together to support the team.” Cheerleaders 83 Flag Corps Front Row: (left to right) Wade, Tamera Mercer, Sharon Cam- Hut, Hut.

Along with learning these com- mands that coincided with the movements of the Marching Bands, the Flag Corps had to start from scratch. Member- ship, uniforms, routines, poise, and justification for their exis- tence had to be attained before they could march out onto the field. The Flag Corps was a newly formed marching unit that used flags as visual implements to in- spire school spirit. It was orga- nized when the Marching Band realized that there was an inter- est and a need for such a Corps. Having a Flag Corps as part of their unit enabled them to qualify for more competition. In order to be selected as one of the nineteen girls in the Corps, the participants had to prove proficiency in marching skills, twirling flags, and per- forming difficult feats. The girls did their best when com- peting in front of a crowd, as Deanna Riggins commented “At times getting together at Monarettes Front Row: Tonya Terrell, Danielle Russell, Pam Bledsoe, Sherri Soyars, Kim Guidt (2nd Squad Lead- er), Bridgette Simmons (Co-Captain), Melinda Harvey (captain), Sheri Wil- practice was difficult, but when we performed under pressure, we worked together and really did our best.” Hours of practice and drilling were rewarded as the Corps garnered several honors.

The work did not stop there. After school had begun, they practiced two hours every day to perfect their routines for pep rallies, pre-game and half-time shows during the football sea- son. Dressed in white gloves and colorful uniforms, the members of the Monarette Drill team brought back to life the razzle dazzle of the Vaudeville days and the Ziegfeld Follies. Along with the Marching Band, Majorettes and Flag Corps, the Monarettes traveled to the Christmas Parade in Wil- liamsburg and to Urbana, Va. for the annual Oyster Festival Parade. The Monarettes were new to competition involving the whole Marching Band. Captain Me- linda Harvey explained, “This was the first year we marched on the field in a formation that was synchronized with the whole Unit. We were a new school at competing and there Seldon, Heidi Nunnally, Monique Smith, Kim Reynolds, Jodi Bowers.

The tickets for the raffle were don- ated by Mr. Calvin Moss. All profits from these money-mak- ers contributed to paying for traveling expenses, new uni- forms, competition fees and the previous year unpaid debts. ‘With the community support, it keeps us go- ing because we knew that we would get new uniforms; so we worked much harder.” They received some commu- nity support which helped tre- mendously to keep spirits high. Sheri Wilkinson commented, “With the community support, it keeps us going becuase we knew that we would get new uniforms, so we worked much harder.” After all the hours of practice and fund were over, the Monarettes were ready to “‘step out” onto the field with a pol- ished act in their new attire.

But it would not be a care-free, fun- filled day. The Marching Band was on Official business and the tension during the bus ride to the Fair was evident. The hours of practice would be put to a test. Everything had to be per- fect. The State Fair Marching Band competition was the first qualifying contest that the Marching Band entered. Chal- lenging fifty other school bands it participated in two events; the Fair Ground Competition and the State Marching Competi- tion. Excitement was in the air as the participants returned lat- er that night to find out their rating — Honorable Mention. Being part of the Marching Band was not all fun and games; long hours, loyalty and self-sac- rifice were required. Providing music for the back-to-school orientation, pep rallies, football games and graduation as well as preparing for a Christmas and Spring Concert made demands on band members’ personal time.

The group of twirlers added their unique precision style to that of the Marching Band at football games, pep rallies, pa- rades and competition. To achieve competency in movements such as finger twirls and toss turn away, the girls practiced during the summer months, from eight until twelve noon, under the guidance of Mrs. Cheryl Chambers. If the routine was difficult, it was re- peated again and again. Prac- tice did not end until it was per- fect.

Coached energetically by Richard Overton and Ron Les- ter, the “‘best of times” was seen in the individual efforts exerted by the players. Shawn Norvett broke the 100 yard barrier against three stiff opponents. Totaling 917 yards for the sea- son, this record earned Norvett the honors of the third leading rusher in the district, a place on the second team All Districts and Honorable Mention in All- Metro.

Loyal enthusiasts were at every game and boosted the morale of the team. However, the costly errors, the uneven morale and the in- ability to work as a whole team, made it the ‘“‘worst of times.” Co-Captain Scott Shapiro ana- lyzed, ““We made many mental mistakes and tried to correct them in practice but we just couldn’t get it together in the games.” Some observers felt that the “age of wisdom” was represent- ed by the parental involvement, while others saw it as an indica- tion of “the age of foolishness.” At every practice, it was the ‘spring of hope.” From the first scrimmage, the team showed competitiveness. At the begin- ning of each game, the players were mentally alert and phys- ically refreshed. However, the small number of try-outs, the shortage of coaches, the dwindling number of players and the nagging in- juries frustrated their hopes. Even though the scoreboard did not show the effort exerted by individuals, mutual respect and love of football fired up coaches and players to play harder with each game.

From 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., prospective players ran sprints and worked out under the hot sun, anticipating the competition awaiting them. As a training program the skills learned at the junior varsi- ty level served as the building blocks for a solid varsity squad. Plagued by misfortunate throughout the season, the J.V. team finished with a 1-5-2 re- cord. The low number of try- outs and the lack of student sup- port were felt to be major factors affecting team perfor- mance. Starting with twenty-seven members and finishing with only seventeen took its toll on the team. Many players had to 92 J.V. Football play both offensive and defen- sive positions, the advantage be- ing a better understanding of the dynamics of the game; the disadvantage being mental and physical fatigue. ‘““We made many men- tal mistakes in the games and worked hard to correct them, we just couldn’t win the close games.” Co-captain Darren Lindsay remarked ‘‘we made many mental mistakes in the games and worked hard to correct them, we just couldn’t win the close games.” In addition, stu- dent attendance at J.V. games was usually low and hurt the team morale. What the team lacked in size and strength it made up for in its will to win. Along with team spirit, individual members made significant contributions. Coach Milo Beckner pointed out three first-year players who showed considerable improve- ments. Sophomore, Eddie Shin as defensive nose guard and of- fensive left guard; Sophomore, Mark Netherland as offensive and position; Freshman Artie Kelly as defensive end; all of- fered valuable support. Although the J.V. had an off- season, the team acquired the skills necessary to become good varsity players. They learned many things about team work and had fun in the process. In assessing the overall per- formance of the team, Coach Beckner proudly stated “these players played with great deter- mination, from the heart.” J.V.

Coach Kim Hall knew it was going to be a tough season right from the first practice. In addition to polishing up the skills she was faced with the job of coaching fourteen “fresh” team members. Field hockey continued to be a sport played exclusively by girls. Even though there were no specific rules that stated a player must be a girl; the draw of football, cross country and golf attracted boys to these fall sports. The appeal of the teams and the feeling that field hockey was dominated by girls, con- fined the number and sex of the team to seventeen and to all girls.

A major drawback for the young team was the tendency to give up after being scored on. In one of the most important games against Midlothian, Coach Hall appraised the team’s performance, ““They Ett MONARCHS Grimm, Pat Baker, Beth Lohr, Tracy Wilson, Belinda Poulston, Theresa Ste- vens, Nicole Long, Lori Ball, Rhonda Clopton, Tracy Jefferson.

The Monarchs also held their own against Colonial Heights. Again, they played well for a young team but the score was 0-5. Throughout the year offen- sive players, Vicki Ellis and Margaret Wirt led in scoring and were the leaders of the of- fensive line.

For their first time out on their own, they turned in a respectable record of 2-2. The losses to Clover Hill and Mid- lothian were by only three points. Marianne Newell, an out- standing runner, lost to only two competitors. Coach Dave Cathers said, “Sarah Garrett was a hard working inspiration and Julie Mangum, Robin Hess, and Karen Keene pro- vided valuable depth.” Mi- chelle Cooper, the most valu- able runner, was beaten by only one competitor during the regu- lar season. She placed seventh at the UVA Invitational and fourteenth out of one-hundred runners at the George Mason Invitational. “The biggest news in cross country this fall was the addition of a girls’ team.” For some individuals the glo- ry did not end at the conclusion of the regular season. Michele Cooper finished tenth in the state cross country meet and be- came Meadowbrook’s first freshman to earn All-State hon- ors. Marianne Newell placed twenty-fourth in the state, bringing more honors back home. Coach Ken Barber noted, “the biggest news in cross coun- try this fall was the addition of a girls’ team. Led by freshman Michele Cooper and Marianne Newell, these girls reached the state finals in their first of com- petition.” Due to their personal enthu- siasm and physical stamina, these six girls have opened the door for other interested fe- males to run through.

The team came out victoriously in the Dominion District Basket- ball Tournament. Coach Sandy Lee attributed this victory to many things. The home court advantage was a big help. An- other factor was the over- whelming support of enthusias- tic fans. Coach Lee said, “The girls played good team ball and had a lot of determination.” This was echoed by co-captain Gena Torres and Chris Hudson who also agreed, “Going from indi- vidual to team work was the cause of our winning.” Coach Lee also felt that the fan sup- port, near the end of the season, helped the players pull together as a team. The team members that made significant contributions were Bev Wiggins, who was high scorer, high rebounder, and who could really hold up in pressure situations. Co-captain, Gena Torres, a good ball-han- dler became progressively bet- ter at point guard and peaked at the regionals. Nessie DiMeo was the most improved player and made great contributions in the last several games. Co-cap- tain Bonnie Culbertson, accord- ing to Coach Sandy Lee, was easy to coach and a good leader.

Putting aside tradition, Coach Cathers did something out of the ordinary by choosing two “Most Valuable Players’”’, Margo Watkins and Teena Brooks. Margo set three indi- vidual records on the 100, 200, and long jump and broke the school record in long jump by almost a foot. She was most use- ful in sprints while on the oppo- site side of the track. Teena was valuable in the shotput and discus. She was the state champion in shotput and she set a new state AA record. All of this contributed to her be- ing named a “High School All- American.” Other individuals who made Jean Overton, Joyce Lewis, Margo Watkins, Francine Leeper, Dee Branch, Sharon Lewis. significant contributions were Freshman Marianne Newell who pulled through in the mid- dle distances and was less than one half a second from the school record in the 800 and 1600. Freshman Tracey Kline and Amy Rowe both broke re- cords in hurdles which Tracey currently holds. Not surprised at the success of his team, Cathers remarked ‘‘T expected to be undefeated so the challenge was for the indi- viduals to do the best they could and improve themselves.

The best record ever for the Boys’ Track team. The regular season record was 8-2, finished 2nd in the Districts, placing 4th in the Regionals and 7th in the State. Led by Co- Captains Carlton Williams and Ostin Whitaker, the team reached these great heights. Athletes’ interest and partici- pation in track improved the chances of accumulating more points. As Co-Captain Ostin Whitaker stated, ‘“‘The in- creased amount of athletes that came out for the team resulted in a very successful season.” s ¥ yi Sao ister : Furthermore, there was the addition of more coaches, who specialized in working with ath- letes on specific skills.

Barry Tyler stated, “In a matter of speaking our morale was down after some losses, but we didn’t give up; we had a good offense, especially our hitting.” Meanwhile, pitchers Melving Gentry, David Bibb, and Alan Walden led the defense. Alan Walden commented, “We had the best defense and we worked together but we just didn’t play together. We would lose by one or two runs. We should have won all of our games.” The season ended on a high- point when they overcame Manchester in the seventh in- ning after having a six run defi- cit and winning 10-9.

The Lady Mon- archs’ Softball team returned with few experienced starters and lost all but one of their in- field players, Kelly Wills, the second basemen. At the begin- ning of the season, team mem- bers were unsure that they would strike up enough victo- ries to become Dominion Dis- trict Champs. Playing as Dominion District Defending Champs, the team surprisingly leaped ahead with eight consecutive wins, bowing only to Powhatan. 5-12. Coach Sandy Lee attributed this loss to, “the overconfidence and maybe the psychological bar- rier of Powhatan being the only team to have defeated them in the past two years.” Teammate Lori Williams analyzed the teams performance against Po- whatan, “Even in the warm- ups, we weren’t thinking and we weren't together.” Recovering from this set- back, the players rallied to win another eight consecutive games before going into the Do- minion District Tournament. In the first game of the Districts, the Monarchs reigned victori- ously over Godwin with a score of 2-1. In the championship game, they lost to Manchester 4-5. Proud of the girls as run- ners-up, Coach Lee comment- “The team itself had inside unity. Everyone played as a team not as an individual.” ed, “all the girls played up to their potential.” The team’s excellence was re- warded when the following eight members were chosen for the All-District Team: First Team All-District; Kelly Wills, second baseman; Patricia Ba- ker, outfielder; Second Team All-District; Lori Williams, pitcher; Gina Torres, First baseman; Lisa Hess, third base- man; Robin Hess, outfielder and Lori Ball, designated hitter. Honorable Mention went to Nessie DiMeo, catcher, who sustained a knee injury in the Regional Tournament and saw no more action for the remain- der of the season. As Dominion District Champs, the team qualified for Regionals. In the Regionals, the girls smashed Tabb by a 14-1 margin. They went on to defeat Bluestone, 9-7. In the finals, they played Poquoson and lost 6-10. Players making the Re- gional team were Lori Wil- liams, pitcher and Lori Ball, designated hitter. Honorable Mention went to Senior Kelly Wills, second baseman. Several factors contributed to their successful season. The ability to control errors on the field and the support of team players off the field were a win- ning combination. ‘‘Even though there were people on the bench, they gave team spirit and were as valuable as every- one else out there in the field,” said Coach Lee. MVP Chris Hudson added, “The team itself had inside unity. Everyone played as a team not as an indi- vidual.” ““We were all depen- dent upon each other,” stated, catcher Nessie DiMeo.

Something Old, Something New Ven the buses rolled in and the school doors opened each club had its work cut out for it. One organization however, stood out. The Student Cooperative Associ- ation with an astounding 110 council mem- bers had been planning throughout the sum- mer to make an action packed calendar of events. In August, work began on the traditionally sponsored activities. At Freshmen Orienta- tion, Mr. “B” and SCA officers welcomed the new Monarchs. That night, the SCA sponsored the 3rd annual Back-to-School Dance, where everyone “‘boogied down”’ to the sounds of “Rafferty” from EZ104. The theme for Back-to-School Night was “Education is a Family Affair’, giving par- ents an opportunity to meet teachers and to find out the activities in which their children were involved. Council members spent Sep- tember constructing and painting backdrops for the Homecoming Court Float. One hundred twenty students signed up for the Annual Blood Drive. Asa result of the cold temperatures in the auxiliary gym 80 students gave of themselves a pint of them- selves. The SCA provided toy-stuffed stockings for the Trainable Mentally Retarded stu- dents at Hening Middle School. Christmas festivities included a dance held in the gym with disc jockey Anthony Terrell working the turntable. For 25¢ students could munch out on Christmas goodies sponsored by the SCA. Other events that carried the SCA’s rich traditions were the Banana Eat and the Miss Meadowbrook Pageant. To enhance traditional activities the SCA introduced some non-traditional events. The first item of change was the Constitution. All students in the school voted on the changes which included: all council members had to approve changes before they were presented to the student body, Seniors could no longer vote in SCA elections, any council members could be dismissed for the lack of participa- tion, and officers could be impeached for the same reason. SCA conducted a Student Ex- change Program with Godwin and Manches- ter. Sarah Stewart commented, “We got to learn more about other schools and the way that they functioned differently from ours.” SCA sponsored a new holiday activity, the Christmas Mother. Each club participated by buying clothes and toys for a needy child. According to Vice President Alan Baird, “The clubs were enthusiastic about the Christmas Mother. It was like playing Santa Claus.” On the lighthearted side, the SCA threw in the Powder Puff Football Game. Freshmen, sophomore, and junior girls battled it out against senior girls and faculty and scored an overwhelming victory. Sideline entertain- ment was provided by boys from each class and male faculty including Mr. ““B”, dressed in cheerleading skirts. “Super Saturday” gave the student “‘Pi- casso’s” a chance to show their artistic tal- ents by repain ting the Home Football bleachers, blue and gold. The rainy condi- tions didn’t put a damper on the strokes of the painters’ brushes. Springtime buzzed with the preparations for a banquet at the Holiday Inn on Midloth- ian to honor Principal, Mr. Larry Buchanan for his 15 years as an administrator. Mr. “B” was overwhelmed by the surprise tribute and commented, “I was thrilled, speechless. I just couldn’t believe it. It was the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me. I’ve never been more touched in my life.”” SCA Presi- dent Brian Sadler remarked, “The banquet was the most rewarding event for me. It was a great honor to recognize Mr. Buchanan for all that he has done for the school and to give him this special thanks.” Sponsor Linda Davidson, reviewed the year, “The year’s goal was to increase par- ticipation in the SCA, so it was great to see more people working for the SCA as council members and as helpers. We had really con- cerned leadership and all of the officers worked hard and were dedicated to every project. Two very diligent members Michelle Mitchell and Gena Stoltz volunteered many hours for the SCA. Their help was greatly appreciated.” When the buses rolled away and the school doors closed SCA members could breathe a sigh of relief for achieving their goals.

Divorce, drugs, drinking, cheating, careers, sex, good sportsmanship, and discrimination are a few of the subjects that young kids have wanted to learn more about. Enthusiastic SODA members tried to answer these questions. Every other week from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. SODA teams visited their fifth grade classes. SODA members acted a big brothers sisters and helped to form ideas and attitudes of fifth graders. Forty-five high school students adopted a fifth grade class. Each SODA team consist- ed of two or three students who were de- pendable, and willing to listen to adolescent concerns. Visiting classes bi-monthly, members worked at their job for the entire year and tried to make their lessons creative and interesting. Members traveled to Fall- ing Creek, Hening, Beulah, Salem, and Hopkins Road Elementary. Some even went with their fifth graders on field trips. When fifth graders were asked what SODA meant to them, several reactions were: “SODA means older students loving and taking the time to tell fifth graders about the one “R” (responsibility) and sharing their thoughts to make us more re- sponsible people.” Ms. Lee Chase and Mrs. Linda Davidson sponsored the SODA organization. Mrs. Davidson felt “this year was a super year.” The teams worked better together, perhaps because they applied themselves as a team for Responsibility rather than being paired up.” Fifth graders learned from SODA mem- bers as well as high school students benefit- ed from their experience with fifth graders. Mike Balser, a member remarked, “SODA is not only a learning experience for the kids but also for me. You grow a lot over the course of the year, especially in understand- ing and responsibilities.” Another member, Stuart Brumfield commented “SODA real- ly teaches you a lot. You feel so responsible for the kids and their well-being and they look up to you so much. It’s really a wonder- ful thing for both high school students and fifth graders.” Thanks to the efforts of the SODA teams, fifth graders had been given the guidance to deal with the pressures of their age group and the encouragement to make good decisions. Time is of the Essence hile most people were spending their weekends skiing in the mountains or just sitting at home watching T.V., Keyettes were spending their time playing Bingo with elderly people at the Chester- field Nursing Home. Serving the school and community was the Keyette Club’s main goal. Membership of the Keyettes to- taled forty-seven, including ten brothers. Applications were given in the fall and a tea was given at Erin Sims’ home to “get to know” each of the applicants. Brothers were voted on by the new members. Bi- monthly meetings were held in sponsor Ms. Lee Chase’s room. The club participated in several school activities such as selling “Spirit” links dur- ing Homecoming and doughnuts as well as carnations for Valentine’s Day. The $500 raised from these activities served to sup- plement club projects. These included spon- soring a little girl from Chile by providing support for her education and her basic needs. They also bought Christmas gifts for five needy children. The girls attended church as a group six times. At the close of the year, the Keyettes had a picnic at Forest Hill Park. A unique addition to Keyette activities was the first Mother-Daughter Banquet. Brothers were also invited to take part in the covered dish dinner held in the cafete- ria. Members took the opportunity to intro- duce their mothers to the group. Keyette, Theresa Stevens, commented, “The ban- quet was a great success and everyone en- joyed it. We all really got to know our mothers.” Vice-President Lynda Sullivan com- mented, “I felt that the Keyettes participat- ed in a greater variety of activities and it was a success.” As a new sponsor, Ms. Chase remarked, “The girls were really ter- rific to work with and I was very proud to be associated with the Keyettes this year.” In an era when time is so precious, the Keyettes spent a great deal of time making others happy.

This was Tri-Hi-Y’s way of showing their school spirit during the Homecoming Parade. This was only a beginning of the demonstration of their dedication and hard work that led them to being named club of the year. Tri-Hi-Y members first must find girls with the willingness to give of their time as well as of themselves to make things happen in the school and community. At a social gathering at Suzanne Carter’s home, pro- spective members applications were re- viewed for membership. The new members were inducted at St. Augustine Catholic Church. Tri-Hi-Y’s main objective for thirty-five girls and six brothers was to create and maintain throughout the home, school and community high standards of Christian character. They upheld this character by attending church once a month. They vis- ited area churches of different denomina- tions such as St. Augustine, Branches Bap- tist, and West End Assembly of God. In offering their services to the school, the club members served as hostesses at the annual College Night. In October, they held a “Pretty Legs” contest. Come and get it!

Each day teachers received a little something special in their mailboxes or on their desk. This was done in apprecia- tion for all the hard work and dedication of the teachers. . Tri-Hi-Y also assisted the SCA in four of their projects. For the Blood Drive, Tri-Hi- Y members supplied the baked goods for the donors, and supplied holiday goodies for the SCA Christmas Party. During Super Saturday, they donated hamburgers, pota- to chips and all the fixens to the painters. They also participated in the carnival by selling grab bags filled with school supplies, toys and candy. Not only did the club help the school, it benefited the community as well. In De- cember, the members spread Christmas cheer by visiting Chesterfield Nursing Home where they had a Christmas Carol sing along with the elderly and handi- capped residents. Tri-Hi-Y members found time from their busy schedules to have several picnics. In the fall at Pocahontas State Park and in the spring at Rockwood Park. They enjoyed good food, loud music and fun in the sun. Tri-Hi- Y members, like the Smurfs scur- ried around to get things efficiently accom- plished throughout the year without sacri- ficing the group’s enjoyment. Splash! Splash! Splash! et’s go to the Y!” Hi-Y members along with “Little Sisters” and “Sweet- hearts” enjoyed a cool dip in the pool at the YMCA. The thirty-five members of Hi-Y, the brother club of Tri-Hi-Y united to promote friendship. Applications for membership were taken in the fall and members were voted by the officers and select members. Girls called “Sweethearts” and “Little Sis- ters” were also chosen for the club. Although a variety of events were planned only one activity was held. Earlier in the year, the club visited the YMCA and spent an afternoon swimming. President Scott Shapiro commented, “‘The year didn’t go as well as Vance and I had planned. This was due to the lack of partici- pation. The members were all active in oth- er school functions. Ring, Ring! “Hello!” “Hi, don’t forget about the Hi-Y meeting tonight at my house. There is a lot of things to be discussed so try to be there.

Alto, soprano, bass and tenor. These styles of music and voice ranges were second nature to the sixteen members in- volved with the Mixed Choir. At its Christmas Concert, the choir’s singing “decked the halls” with holiday cheer and at the Spring Concert “razzle dazzled” with tunes such as “Charleston Flappers, and Razzamatazz.” Activities around school included the tra- ditional fund-raiser of candy sales used for music boosters. On June 4th, choir mem- bers attended a get-together for the entire Music Department at Bear Creek Lake sponsored by the Music Boosters. The choir then directed its energies to the end of the year activities. At Baccaluareate, members sang “Prayer for Peace” and gave a heartwarming performance at graduation “If Only You Believe”. For the select sixteen member Vocal En- semble their performances went beyond school functions. They traveled to D.G.S.C. during December to sing for the Bellwood Officers’ Wives Club and for the Saint Au- gustine’s Retirement Group. Honors were bestowed on both group and individual choir members. Vocal Ensemble received an excellent rating at the Vocal Festival and Bridgette Simmons, a senior, was selected to participate in All-County Choir, Regionals and VMEA Honors Choir. Bridgette reacted to receiving these distinctions, “I was overwhelmed and felt very privileged to be the first girl and the second person from Meadowbrook to be se- lected for Honors Choir.” With their memorable performances at school and in the community, the Vocal En- semble and Mixed Choir demonstrated the versatility and talent of the choral program and made Director, Mr. Earl Binns, “very pleased with the outstanding perfor- mances.” 132 Chorus Thespians Smash Hit! ights flashing, loud music rock- ing, students dressed as Ronald Reagan, pumpkins, monsters and other space crea- tures, boogied to the rock-and-roll sounds of the band “‘reactor’’. This eerie event was the Halloween Dance held after the Mid- lothian football game. It was the first dance of the school year and the most successful fund raiser for the Thespians. They raised over $500 which went towards purchasing sets, props, and costumes for plays and paid membership dues to the International Soci- ety. They also worked six nights at the Rich- mond Jaycees Haunted Hotel for the March of Dimes. Held at the Best Products Warehouse they raised over $100 for 25 hours of work. On November, 19th and 20th, the club performed a three act play “The Imaginary Invalid”’. The Thespians were mainly an honor Troop 664 of people who were interested in the performing arts. Fourteen members met weekly in Mr. John Mingus’ room 117 to discuss and plan activities. During the spring they performed a pro- duction of three one act plays including “The American Dream’, “The Zoo Sto- ry,’, and “Before Breakfast.” The Thespi- ans contributed their services to the carni- val by painting clown faces on eager children, while jugglers and pantamimes entertained the crowd. They also ran a dart game where treats such as candy and toys were the winner’s awards. As the curtains closed and lights went down the Thespians wrapped up an exciting and busy year, as many goals were reached and passed. Mr. John Mingus commented, “We had an especially active group of offi- cers and therefore we accomplished much.” Opening night.

Orpheus, the character from Greek Mythology, had the power to soothe the land, the wind and the trees with his music, so too, did Orchestra have the power to entertain and to stimulate the surround- ings with their harmonious sounds. Fourteen members of the Orchestra Club enjoyed playing all types of music from classical and rock to pop and bluegrass, with string instruments of violin, viola, cello and bass. Ninth grade Orchestra members partici- pated in The Chesterfield All-County Or- chestra, 10th, 11th, and 12th graders par- ticipated in All-Regional Orchestra. Orchestra performed in many concerts including the Christmas Concert, Orches- tra Festival in March, Solo-Ensemble Fes- tival, and Spring Concert. The Orchestra combined with the Marching Band to form a fall orchestra at Graduation. Brenda Johnson, noted, “It was a very productive year. This was evident of the individual honors received.”’ Musicians Au- drey Hudgins, Laura Benford, Pam Jenkins and Jay Forehand were selected to play a string quartet for the Foreign Language Symposium held at Bird High School. Au- drey Hudgins, Glen Doane, Laura Benford, Jay Forehand, Christy Leadbitter, Jeanne Overton, Michelle Cooper also performed at the Solo and Ensemble Festival held in April. Individual awards were garnered by Au- drey Hudgins who played the violin in the All-State Orchestra in April, and was also the outstanding Orchestra student of the year. Orpheus and the gods of Greek Mytho- logy, looking down from their heavenly perch, would have been proud of the classi- cal sounds performed by these musical mor- tals. 134 Bands Orchestra All That Jazz on’t Look Back’’, ‘“‘Swingin’ Low”, “Switch in Time’. Not quite the tunes of the contemporary top forty but the sounds made popular in the 30’s and 40’s by Count Basie and Glenn Miller. For those fifteen interested musicians of Stage Band and fourteen select musicians of Jazz Lab who played woodwinds, brass, and rhythm instruments these tunes would be familiar. These two versatile groups played all types of music from blues to funk and rock. At the Chesterfield County Jazz Festi- val, Stage Band and Jazz Lab received very promising remarks from Doug Richards, Director of VCU Jazz Lab. They also per- formed at the Chesterfield County Fine Arts Festival, where Jazz Lab received a superior rating. In addition, they played for English classes assemblies, and for local elementary and junior high school for re- cruiting purposes and for home basketball games. The Stage Band performed at the opening of Children’s World of Manches- ter. At basketball games the group played catchy rival tunes to lead the Monarchs to victories. The Spring Concert selection of music ranged from Jazz to Rock. The Jazz Lab could be heard around the Richmond area. They opened for the Heights of Grass at the Chesterfield Coun- ty Fair and entertained at St. Augustine’s Coffee House. The Jazz Lab performed for over 6,000 people at the Robbin’s Center, at a University of Richmond Basketball games, and for the grand opening of the Virginia Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Richmond. Sponsor Miss Thelma Loehr, was pleased with the active schedule. She com- mented, “Both bands were made up of many different talented musicians, and when put together they produce their own blend of an excellent unique sound.” Serenading the Spiders.

Bands Orchestra 135 “That's A Wrap” t wasn’t the “high tech” hardware of a video computer interface or a special ef- fects generator, but the purchase of a mod- est color video camera that brought excit- ing possibilities for capturing special moments on videotape. Whether it was an assembly, classroom activity or sports event, the Media Club was there to preserve the action for posterity. Born out of a curiosity to operate the school’s video camera and the more sophis- ticated equipment at Chesterfield Cable, the nine member group met on Tuesday afternoons to discuss video assignments for the following week with Sponsor, Ms. San- dra Silvestre. In addition to videotaping guest speakers for history, sociology, photography, distrib- utive education and home economics classes, rare occasions were immortalized. Former pro football player Ray Easterling impressed the students with his honest an- swers about his career and seventeen year old Kevin Tunell left the audience stunned with his tragic story of driving under the influence. Many students and teachers got in on the act too. In collaboration with Chesterfield Cable, several videotapes were aired on the local and educational access channels. Sen- ior Debbie Dillard interviewed Bart Dan- iels, a Hollywood jewelry designer. Portions of this show were cablecast on a national station.

During Vo- cational-Education Week, Fashion Merchandising DECA designed a TV spot featuring on-the-job student profiles. Har- ambe, a new organization, informed the ca- ble public of its goals. A music video was choreographed by a student group made up of Jeff Combs, Chris Kontopanos, Rob Lohr and Scott Murphy. In addition to videotaping for school functions, Media members offered video services to area schools and were sought by Chesterfield Cable as part-time camera op- erators. The age of video was upon the school and students and teachers benefited from its power. On the Move eep .: Deepens Deepe an peep! This was the sound of a new era in library media technology. A new $10,000.00 detec- tion system was installed in the library dur- ing spring vacation. This system was de- signed to monitor books as they were checked out. Library aides were instructed on how to sensitize and desensitize books in order to make the system work effectively. Head Li- brarian, Mrs. Carolyn Beard explained why the system was installed; ““We were loosing more books than we were getting money to buy. It’s also been proven to be effective in other schools.” Students reac- tions to the system were mixed. Aide Gary Lohr commented “It doesn’t seem to be worth all that money! But it’s better than nothing!” Senior Debbie Dil- lard countered “It is worth the money, It will pay itself off in two years by saving on the replacement of lost books.” In the past, books were a main source of information, but now with today’s technol- ogy, the library has become a resource cen- ter with many varieties of information for- mats. Filmstrips, records, films, video and audio cassettes have revolutionized the li- brary. Mrs. Beard and Ms. Sandie Silvestre as- sisted by Mrs. Jackie Kaye kept things run- ning smoothly. Student aides, earned a credit, contributing one period a day to as- sist in the circulation of books and in the utilization of media equipment. Vice Presi- dent Albert Vaughan stated, “Most mem- bers were hard working, dependable, and tried to keep on top of things.” In addition to working together, mem- bers held a “get acquainted picnic” at Mrs. Beard’s home in the fall, enjoying a game of touch football. In the spring, fifteen club members accompanied Ms. Silvestre, Mr. James Hensley and Mr. Dorse Taylor Sr. to Washington, D.C. They visited the Library of Congress, the Supreme Court, Air and Space Museum and received a personal tour of Senator Paul Treble’s office. Ms. Silvestre remarked, “The Library of Con- gress was more than just a library, it housed 10 million books, (receiving hundreds daily thousands of films and many exhibits.’’) The technology revolution has reached into another aspect of education, library where it has expanded its uses and has given it new meaning.

History at Work | Eee were tapping, pencils were writing, erasers were correcting, pho- tographers were printing and editors were screaming. It was a typical early Saturday morning in Room 300. In early August all yearbook staff mem- bers gathered at Forest Hill Park to mix “business with pleasure” in a get acquaint- ed cookout. For two months, the Sceptre staff pounded the pavement in pursuit of advertising sponsors from local businesses. These efforts raised over $3000 for the book’s production costs and additional col- or pages. To celebrate the success of the ads campaign, the staff feasted at Godfather’s Pizza on Robius Road. In November, fifteen members and Sponsor, Ms. Sandie Silvestre, attended the Virginia High School League Publications Conference at the University of Virginia. This workshop enabled staff members to learn valuable information about layouts, photography and writing styles. V.H.S.L., awarded a trophy to the 1982 Sceptre. In the spirit of Christmas giving, staff mem- bers contributed money, clothing, educa- tional materials and toys to a needy six year old Richmond boy. Tidings of good-will were exchanged at the staff Christmas par- ty held at Ms. Silvestre’s house. During the snowy February season, Co- Editors Debbie Dillard and Amanda Stiltner accompanied Ms. Silvestre to tour the Herff Jones Plant in Gettysburg, Penn- sylvania. They spent the day learning about production techniques and received help ' from plant personnel on the yearbook in progress. Amanda Stiltner remarked, “... the plant helped to better my understand- ing of how important yearbook is to devel- oping communication. It’s like writing a history book of information that is fre- quently forgotten before all the facts are completed”. To boost spirits during the mid-winter blahs and to help promote the yearbook sales, the staff presented to the student body, a favorite assembly, the an- nual yearbook Slide Show, “Making Histo- rynlo3 Co-Editor, Debbie Dillard commented, “Yearbook is a lingering ritual, you have to be on a constant alert as to what’s happen- ing at all times. It’s a lot of blood, sweat and tears but there is no greater feeling of ac- complishment than seeing your work in print.” Meeting deadlines, selecting a cover de- sign, completing the color section, revising copy and lay-outs monopolized most of the staff's time. A devoted handful spend Feb- ruary and April vacations, as well as, much of the summer to complete the book. Ms. Silvestre noted “Publishing a yearbook takes hundreds of hours that demand cre- ativity and unqualified dedication. I hope the readers appreciate the time and thought that the staff has put into the book.” Here are the results! A Dedicated Few 66 D.... May 29th! All Seniors hand in your Last Wills and Testaments by this time!” Many announcements like this were heard over the P.A. System, urging seniors to “put in order” their Last Wills for a farewell newspaper. In September, Sponsor Jackie Rooney and News Editor, Ashley Bland attended the Richmond Newspaper Seminar and learned valuable bits of knowledge about the newspaper business. In November, Edi- tor Dwight Rackley and news staff Jennie Blaine and Joe Mayer accompanied Mr. Rooney for a weekend in Charlottesville, attending a publications conference at Uni- versity of Virginia. With only four dedicated members, only one edition was possible. Mr. Rooney com- mented, “One of the main requirements of being a good newspaper reporter, is being a devoted worker.” After many months of preparation and hard work, the Medallion finally hit the market. Over 550 copies of the Seniors’ Last Wills and Testaments were sold at 50¢ each. Although over $275 was raised, pro- duction and publishing costs forced Medal- lion to end with a $20 deficit. Assessing the overall production of the staff, Mr. Rooney stated, “With the few devoted and hard working students there were, we did more to put together a newspa- per than ever before.” Thanks to Dwight Rackley, Ashley Bland, Gary Hess and Pat Carr, the presses rolled and a newspaper was published.

Forty-two students found that being a member of VICA offered many opportuni- ties for sharpening vocational skills. As An- gel Jarrett commented, “VICA brings out the different views of the working world.” In the fall, a Leadership Rally was held at Carolina County High School. After morning workshops to promote member- ship, the afternoon was reserved for riding the daring Rebel Yell at King’s Dominion. Filling Christmas “goodie bags” for the Crippled Children’s Hospital was VICA’s way of spreading holiday cheer to the com- munity. Closer to home, David Owen held a cover dish Christmas Party for members to socialize and to shoot pool. In March, students participated in the District Leadership Skills Olympics where four students won first place in their respec- tice areas. They included Dana Drumheller in the bulletin board competition, Shawn Johnson in the auto-parts’ counterman event, Mike Williams in current events and Angel Jarrett as a dental assistant. These winning students then traveled to the State Level Competition in Roanoke where Mike Williams captured third place. Ms. Bab- cock replied, ““The students had a very out- standing performance with more first place winners than any other county school. We showed how hard these students have been working.” At the ICT IWE DE banquet held in the spring at the Meadowbrook Country Club. Personal awards were presented to Dana Drumheller for the ICT student of the year and to Thomas Frank for superior Job Performance. VICA not only showed ICT students the fundamentals of working but it gave them an opportunity to practice what they learned on the job. It really gave them a “slice of life.” 140 DECA VICA miling faces and grateful glances were expressed by patients at Chippenham Manor. DECA members (Distributive Education Clubs of America) spread hap- piness to elderly citizens by having a Christmas Party for the residents. DECA members pulled from Santa’s bag, such things as transistor radios, fruit baskets and cash prizes for the elderly tenants. Refresh- ments of punch, cake, mints and entertain- ment provided by a ventriloquist, topped off the party. The DECA program taught marketing, leadership ability, civic consciousness, so- cial intelligence, vocational understanding and retailing and merchandising. Students involved in the DECA program attended school for half a day to take required sub- jects, then entered into the working field. Fashion Merchandising classes incorpo- rated field trips into the academic curricu- lum. They traveled to White Flint Mall lo- cated in Maryland, to the retailing district in New York, to Washington and to King’s Dominion. DECA also held many professional meetings in addition to less formal ones. At these meetings, businessmen spoke to stu- dents about their fields and related topics in the working world. During National Education Week i n February, Mrs. Francine Haymes, in con- junction with the Media Club members, co- ordinated a videotape that aired on cable. er (= . —_ Still Life.

One hun- dred sixty red balloons, released in unison and filled with invitations, gracefully float- ed upward. The Virginia skies were colored with this statewide promotional effort to join Future Homemakers of America. To stimulate student membership, FHA set upon an active public relations cam- paign. They prepared the main hall show- case with illustrations of the organization’s symbol, purpose and goals. To attract pro- spective members, they held program meet- ings on popular topics such as “Nutrition and Exercise,” “Foreign Food and Tradi- tion,” and “Fast Weight Loss.” FHA members were involved in many activities. They visited the Chesterfield Nursing Home to play Bingo, entered a Homecoming Float, served as hostesses during college night, went bowling and out to eat. In December, the Christmas Tea and Bazaar featured craft items and refresh- ments made by the Home Economics stu- dents. To support these activities fund raisers included selling Tupperware, M + Mv’s, baked goods and holding holiday cake raf- fles during football and basketball games. During classes, Tang and donuts were sold. National FHA Week was celebrated from February 6-12 with the theme of “An Hey, I’ve got an idea!

The club sponsored activities to raise money for many different projects. In Janu- ary, FBLA sold candy kisses, baked goods, pocket calendars, and Christmas carna- tions. Profits from these fund raisers were used to buy Christmas gifts for residents at Chesterfield Nursing Home. In May, mem- bers spent an afternoon eating, playing fris- bee and softball at Rockwood Park. On the last day of school, FBLA presented each senior members with a long stem red rose attached with a creed. In addition to many technological ad- vances in their field of study, FBLA made many personal gains. President Mary Smith commented, ““When we won the float for Homecoming I think that was a step- ping stone for pulling us together.

Chess Gaming Society mi oe Making the Right Moves our move!’’ You hope you’ve made the right decision but you’re not sure. You’ve studied your opponent’s face and tried to read his mind. What would he do next? Every Wednesday, twenty members and their sponsor Ms. Irene Peters, met in room sixteen to challenge their skills of concen- tration and quick thinking. Chess requires imagination and the abili- ty to think through most moves before play- ing them. Chess resembles war, in that it consisted of the duo of attack and defense since the aim in the game is to face the surrender of the opposing King. Ms. Irene Peters commented, “Every move is planned and every plan is moved.” She also remarked, “In September the membership of the club doubled from pre- vious years.” In October, the club held their annual doughnut sale. Members sold seventy-five dozen doughnuts and raised $75.00. All of the proceeds were u sed to purchase new chess sets. Although the club had twenty male members and one female, they kept looking for more female members. Jon Stonestreet commented, “We had a good year and I hope next year will expand.” Your opponent made his move. He was three moves away from checkmate. But you Jet i a lime Cr had the perfect plan to ward him off. Little did he know that you would checkmate him in two moves. Fantasy World ou’re a spy traveling through a city in search of a man who has been kid- napped, or you’re on earth after a nuclear war with command of armies that could take over the world. Is this for real? No, it’s a trip into a world of make believe charac- ters and situations that challenge your imagination. Thirty members of the Gaming Society met in sponsor, Mr. Joel Dexter’s room to enjoy the adventure of role-playing games and board games such as Top Secret, Gam- ma World, Tunnels and Trolls and Wizard Quest. Dungeons and Dragons (D D) a club favorite, was no longer played due it’s controversial nature. The Gaming Society sponsored a Bake Sale at Meadowbrook Plaza and raised $25.00. The end of the year bash was held at their regular meeting place. Even if you never rescue the kidnapped man or never take over the world, the quest of trying to achieve goals is what lures the Gaming Society members to continue the adventure.

For the next sixty minutes you’re in another dimension of intergalactic trav- el, where the stars come out and the planets move about. This was the atmosphere described by the Science Club members who attended the exciting trip to the Planetarium at the Virginia Science Museum. Planets, stars, and telescopes were just a few things that twenty-seven members learned about in the Science Club. By inviting guest speakers and taking field trips, the organization acquired better awareness of science and gave students a chance to share a common scientific inter- est. At the meetings the club listened to guest speakers such as Mr. Jean Paul Pri- deaux who explained how to take photo- graphs of Solar eclipses. Mrs. S.E. Paulson, Physics teacher discussed science courses required for college entrance and Mr. Mark Vergrano of Dupont explained how com- puters operate and how they are put to use at Dupont. The group entered the Homecoming Pa- rade with the appropiate science theme “Dissect the Eagles!” To show their festive spirit, the Science Club sold Christmas Grams for the Christmas Mother Project. During March, members ventured into the wilds of Pocahontas State Park on a canoe trip. Despite April’s rainy season, the club members put on their rain coats and entered the Super Walk-A-Thon for the March of Dimes. On Super Saturday the whole club donned on old jeans and sweat- shirts and participated in the project of painting the stadium bleachers.

At the second An- nual school carnival, they provided cotton candy. They also co-sponsored video games such as Donkey Kong and Ms. Pac-Man. President Lana Yan commented “I think we made a big effort this year to improve the quality of the activities making them more science oriented.” Sponsor, Mrs. Beverly Deacon remarked ‘“‘We have increased our membership and participation and that is due to the leader- ship of our president.” When the lights turned back on at the Planetarium, when the guest speakers had left school and when the school projects were over, the Science Club had not only learned of scientific things such as the solar system and the new technology of comput- ers; they had also helped to aid projects that benefited the community. Proud Monarch Fans! hosh! Whosh! Whosh! Zap! Upon entering the gymnasium for the first time during a sports event, you might wonder what craziness or delirium had overcome the crowd. Actually, it was the fans unique way of showing their support for their team. Although Forty-three students came out for the Pep Club, ten members made up the active core of the group. Students felt a need to organize unity and spirit in the stands. Thus, the Pep Club was born. With stand up, sit down, unison, clapping and shouting the club cheered on the Girls’ and Boys’ Basketball teams to victories. The club members dressed as Punk Rockers, Beach goers, Mafioso, Cowboys, Preppies and wore their PJ’s for Nite-Nite. The organization also participated in the school carnival by selling cold soft drinks. The heart of this club was to reinforce the spirit generated by the cheerleaders and to get the crowd involved during games by their “‘contagious” chants and “catchy” cheers. So the next time you hear some- thing like Zap! upon entering the gym don’t be shy, join in. Toot for the Tutors ey, Jim, let’s ride to McDonalds and get something to eat after school.” “Naw I can’t, I’m gonna be tutoring a junior in Algebra II.” Before that important quiz, or that mid- term or final exams, or whenever a student needed to polish up on some mathematic skills, members of the Mu Alpha Theta club were there to lend assistance. Mu Alpha Theta recognized students that demonstrated high achievements and interests in math. Each year the thirty-seven member club sponsored a National Mathematics Test for students enrolled in Calculus, Analysis, Al- gebra II, Trigonometrey, and Geometry. Senior Paul Mosca received the highest score on this test. While most students were going out to eat, watching television, or washing cars after school, Mu Alpha Theta members were helping math students overcome the hurdles of polynominal equations, geomet- ric shapes, and sines and cosines.

Math Science Pep 147 Greetings From Many Worlds H ola, Bonjour, Guten Tag, Saluete. These are just a few expressions of a friend- ly greeting that is exchanged throughout the world. Whether it be in Spanish, French, German, or Latin, the world “hel- lo” brings smiles to faces from any nation. Students gained an appreciation of these different ways of communication by being involved in the Foreign Language Club. The year kicked off with the installation of new members. The cl ub float entry re- ceived runner-up for its artistic design and creative theme “Foreign Language Club Brings Bad News to the Eagles”. In Octo- ber, club members dined at Julian’s, an old established restaurant known for its Italian cuisine. During the holiday season the club sent cookies to the special education stu- dents at Hening Elementary School. The club threw a welcome party for a foreign exchange student Andres Baboun who came from Santigo, Chile. He gave speeches and stressed to students the differ- ences of how he lived, how the schools in Chile operated, and how he felt to be living in the United States. An exciting event, long awaited for by many foreign language students as well as teachers, was the Foreign Language Week. A different activity was planned for each day. The week ignited with E.T. (Extra Terrific) Day. Foreign Language students shared their interest in language by giving a non member a pass that could be cashed in for a candy prize by sponsor, Mrs. Evelyn Shelton. Tuesday, students wore tee shirts and buttons to represent their language and country. Wednesday, foreign films, such as bull fighting in Spain, were shown. Thurs- day evening, foreign posters, music of other countries and exotic foods transformed the school cafeteria into an international mar- ket place. Friday, all classes met on the front lawn for the big volleyball tourna- ment. National rivalries pitted the French against the Spanish and the German against the Latin in a test of athletic com- petitiveness. Cultural awareness was heightened by these events of a fun-filled week. In May, the club made strawberry crepes 148 and set up a balloon game for the annual school carnival. Learning about the languages, food, clothing, and customs of various countries helped to promote understanding among people of different nationalities and an ap- preciation of their unique cultural traits. Just as the way they said ““Good Bye”: Adi- os, Au Revoir, Auf Wiedersehen, and Val- vete. Trading Places ; as that Marie Antoinnette and Al Capone walking down the 300 hall? Actu- ally, it was the History Club members, dressed as famous historical characters, as part of the fall initiation rite of new mem- bers. Kappa Omega Phi, or the History Club, valued learning the facts and concepts of historical growth and interpretation. Mem- ber, Deshaun Nolley remarked, “It’s great being a part of the History Club. It encour- ages members to reflect on their own desti- nies.” The club accepted applications for mem- bership in October and in May. Member- ship required a scored interview by current members combined with a written applica- tion. Only those with the highest scores were accepted into the honorary club. In addition to sponsoring the Battle of the Brains team, the organization partici- pated in other activities. Along with the Science Club, the History Club sold “Christmas Grams” to raise funds for the Christmas Mother Project. It also com- bined efforts with Math and Science Clubs to present Christmas gifts for poverty stricken families. To celebrate spring, members ventured to Stanley Stegmeyer’s for dinner and were served by waiters and waitresses dressed as their “‘historical’” favorites: Mork, cheer- leaders, policemen, pirates and Hawaiian dancers. Next time you see Picasse or Joan of Arc walking down the hall, don’t flinch. It’s just the History Club “living out” the roles of the historical characters they most admire. They bring the past back to life and remind us that the present is just a fleeting moment in time. As Mr. Dexter commented, “By the time you read this, it will all be history.” Down the Lighted Path A s the lights dimmed, the crowd grew silent. The candles bright gleam caught everyone’s eye, as the new members took a step toward achieving the highest academic goal of induction into the Nation- al Honor Society. Family, friends and students were invited to attend the ceremony as twenty-three ju- niors and two seniors were tapped into the distinguished nation-wide organization. The reception following was made possible by funds raised during a St. Patrick’s Day flower sale. The NHS standards of academic excel- lence were due to the rigorous requirements for membership. A 3.4 grade point average along with teacher recommendations and participation in at least four school activi- ties were necessary for membership. Led by four officers 47 members showed their active school participation and offered free tutoring. When asked about her feelings concern- ing NHS’ significance to high school stu- dents, Senior Sherri Balser commented, “‘It gave us something to show ourselves and to others how hard we’ve worked during school.” Junior Kathy Walker, a new member re- marked, “It made me feel rewarded when I found out that I had been chosen, because all of my school work had finally paid off!” As the lights brightened, and the crowd grew louder, the old and new members stood side by side, proud of their academic achievement.

In June of °82, the goals and program for a new club were drawn up. Harambe would become another choice as a club for interested stu- dents. ““Harambe” an African term meaning to pull together stressed an awareness of dif- ferent ethnic groups. The formation of Har- ambe started when several students and teachers wanted to promote more school unity. Harambe was officially recognized as a club for the first time at Homecoming. Sweethearts Monique Smith and Michelle Burton rode in the parade bearing Har- ambe’s name. All activities were directed toward the goal of establishing a scholarship for a sen- ior member to further his her education in college. At Class Night, Senior Jay Wilker- son was the recipient of the $500 scholar- ship. In November, Harambe held their first banquet. It featured a covered dish dinner, a “Fashion Flash” presented by male and female members of the club. Girls modeled clothes from Hit or Miss and Foxmoor, while boys wore clothing from Jeans West and Fines Mens Shop. Formal wear came from Mitchells and Penneys Bridal Shop. In addition, guest speaker, Willie Lanier a former pro-football player spoke on differ- ent people uniting for a better world. In February, the club sponsored a Broth- erhood-Sweetheart Dance and a Sweet- heart Contest. Two hundred fifty people moved to the groove, as D.J.

Kip Anderson and Sherry Balser won the hearts of the judges and were crowned the Sweet- hearts. The club raised $400 toward their scholarship goal. Harambe also made a TV program in conjunction with Media Club which aired on the Education Channel of Chesterfield Cable. Sponsors, Mrs. Barbara Winston and Mrs. Joyce Gaston hosted the show. Highlights included club officers stating each of the club’s goals and an interview with two Afghanistani students. In the spring, the Richmond Newsleader article in the “Young Virginian Section” featured President Bobby Vaughan and Pam Taylor. It discussed how black and white students were working together. In May, the club honored the Senior members with a cover dish dinner and in June, it sponsored Junior Joyce Lewis for the Miss Virginia Teen Pageant. By its wide variety of activities and its high degree of students’ participation, Har- ambe proved itself to be a club worthy of recognition. The Big Catch n a rainy day in May, off the banks of Diaschun near the Chickohomony River, AIASA members Robbie Hart and Troy Fleming coordinated a fishing tourna- ment. The team of Theda Sauls and her father received the first place award with a catch of | lbs. 12 oz. Second place was pre- sented to the team of Wes Lumpkin and Tuan Truong with a catch of | lbs. 8 oz. and the Big Bass award was given to Wes Lumpkin. AIASA sponsored the teacher student of the year award. Member, Barry Roach presented a certificate of award to the re- cipients. Miss Priscilla Barth was selected for the teacher award while Teena Brooks was named the student of the year. AIASA (American Industrial Arts Stu- dents of America) was used as a support program for drawing classes. This unabled students to learn detailed fundamentals of drawing. Sponsor Mr. Sterling Hawkins set high standards for membership. One must perform exceedingly well in mechanical drawing class and must be asked by “‘invita- tion only” to join AIASA. In order to raise funds, AIASA sold spir- it ribbons for 25¢ during football season. The money earned was used to replace pa- per, erasers and other supplies used by me- chanical drawing students. The club displayed model homes in the front showcase. AIASA members partici- pated in the County Arts Festival held at Bird High School. Members’ independent engineering and mechanical drawing were exhibited. For the carnival, they set up the Rainbow Wheel Game and Erasers Toss. Prizes con- sisted of albums, note pads and ink pens. A total of $17.45 was raised. President Barry Roach commented, “We started out slow; however, we came to a fast paced end with our successful fishing tour- nament.” Hats Off!

Resolved: The U.S. should significantly curtail arms sales to other countries. Now it’s your turn to speak. You feel lightheaded, your stomach is queezy, your mouth is dry and your palms are sweating. You slowly walk up to the podium and pull out your notes. Everyone is looking straight at you and... you begin to speak. Each member of the debate team had to know as much about the opponents case as he knew about his own side. Debaters stud- ied the origin and the history of a proposi- tion, defend its term and surveyed carefully all the arguments for and against it. Twenty individual debaters were chossen to compete in teams according to compata- bility and win lose record. Debate helped students to better their public speaking skills as well as development of persuasive arguing. These skills have applied outside the debaters arena as Patty Wells stated, “Debate can be used for everything from getting your parents to give you extra mon- ey to getting good grades on oral reports.” The team competed at least once a month at area schools as well as two tournaments held at University of Richmond and Long- wood College. In addition, they hosted the District Tournament, attended the Region- als at Matoaca and States at U.V.A. To raise money for the State Tournament the members helped in such fund raisers as the sale of Christmas Cards. Many individual and team verbals bat- tles were won at the various tournaments. Jay Ferras, Salman Akbar, Deshaun Nol- ley, and Patty Wells earned six Ist place honors. These debaters also garnered six 2nd place honors along with team mates Jimmy Green and Danny Bennett. You return to your seat. Breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that you’ve used the facts and your debating skills to their fullest po- tential. Your part is over! Now it’s the judges turn to weigh whether your side of the issue is the most advantageous for the world to follow. Speaking Out magine. Having to confront more than twenty people and speak on a topic that you have been researching for weeks. People who enjoy this type of challenge and are willing to devote the time and energy necessary for competition joined the Foren- sics Society. The Forensics Society is an academically competitive group of students which at- tended tournaments several times a year. The Society was divided into two main groups. The Debate Team and the Speech Team. Most members participated in both Debate and individual speech events. The possible speech formats included po- etry, prose reading, dramatic and humor- ous interpretation. Activities consists of reading or reciting a memorized selection of known literary merit. Two other popular events were extemporaneous speaking and original oratory in which the contestant gave an original speech. In extemporaneous speaking the contestant had a limited amount of preparation time but in Original Oratory the speakers chose a topic and wrote a ten minute speech on it before the tournament. Many awards went to individal team members. Deshaun Nolley and Conor Shiel were crowned with the Double Ruby distin- guision, the highest honor given in Foren- sics. In the Regional Competition Patty Wells and Conor Shiel took first place for In the State Competition held at U.Va., Patty Wells received 3rd place in Extempo- raneous Speaking Competition. Spending weeks in the library and dig- ging up pertinent information to be prac- ticed aloud would make a formidable con- frontation. In the right order.

Fourteen hundred high school students crowded together on gym bleachers, and listened to a speaker for fif- ty-five straight minutes. No one moved while Kevin Tunnell, a seventeen year old speaker from Fairfax County had everyone on the edge of their seats hanging on to every word Kevin said. You could have heard a pin drop while he held the whole student body in the palm of his hand. What did he have to say that was so interesting to high school teenagers? He narrated his own personal tragedy of how driving under the influence of alcohol had affected his life. He told how on one New Year’s Eve he had had too much champagne, how a high school girls life ended because Kevin had too much to drink. Earlier, he had told his girlfriend he could drive home. However, along the way he drove his car across the yellow line and hit an oncoming car. An innocent girl lay dead after being hit so hard that she flew through the windshield onto the hood of the car. Kevin said that he sobered up quickly. What was he to do? He had killed someone! Kevin was sentenced to lecture to high school students against drunk driving 40 hours a week for a year. His situation came to the attention of Ms. Irene Peters, Soci- ology teacher whose class had conducted a drinking survey among the student body. The results were posted around the school and many people were alarmed at the re- sults. Out of this survey came a great concern among students to form an organization dealing with the problem of teenage drink- ing and driving. Thus, a chapter of SADD Students Against Drunk Driving was start- ed in November. Members participated in various activi- ties to stimulate awareness of the group’s purpose. Jennifer Blaine, President of SADD, attended a workshop that was a product of the Governor’s TASK Force. In addition, SADD members listened to COE Front Row: Pam Foxworth, Sandy Jordon, Tere- sa Joyce, Holly Inge, Amy Roach, Kristy Talley, Cathy Sarver, Jeri Back, Lisa Buchanan, Yvonne Ca- vanaugh. Back Row: Wendy Poulston, Deanna Kenne- dy, Portia Swindell, Kim Compton, Teresa Ridgeway, Sherri Allen, Lisa Newman, Bridgette Piacintini, Gail Morgan, Donna Workman, Lisa Olinger, Kathy Har- rison, Mary Smith.

They also drafted a letter to President Reagan with 1,100 signatures of students and faculty to encourage the President to speak out for SADD. The group also worked with Thomas Dale High School in starting a SADD chapter. By displaying posters, bulletin boards and video taping guest speakers the mem- bers of SADD helped publicize the new or- ganization. The influence on the students and faculty was overwhelming. At the outset, the club had only 25 members but it grew to 45 members after the talk by Kevin Tunnell. The impact of SADD upon the student body was seen by its sponsor Ms. Peters who commented, ““There’s no doubt that the students were receptive to the Sociology Survey on “Teenage Alcoholism” and to the information of an active group of Stu- dents Against Drunk Driving.” From a student’s point of view, Debbie Estes remarked “Drunk Driving is illegal. Weare not trying to put an end to drinking. We are only trying to put an end to Drink- ing and Driving.” When the bell rang for the end of the assembly, it was difficult to believe that so much time had passed. In those fifty-five minutes Kevin Tunnell made more of an impression on fourteen hundred students than hours of lecturing by parents, of preaching by clergymen, or coaxing by friends could ever do. Students walked away from the gym less swayed by the pleasure of drinking and more con- vinced of the reality of its dangers. Reaching Out For Experience ae ae ae ee SRT. et mtg ee aT oS _ H ello, may I help you? This is the State Highway Department.” Pleasant and efficient responses were just a few of the many practical business skills used by COE students working as clerks, receptionist and computer opera- tors. COE (Cooperative Office Education) consisted of thirty-six business students who have had at least two years experience in a business class such as general business, typing, shorthand, accounting, and office practice. Members attended various busi- ness Classes in the morning and reported for on-the-job training at places such as the Engineering Department at Philip Morris, the Virginia State Highway Department and Fort Lee. All positions held by these students are office related jobs. Program coordinators Mrs. Evelyn Avery, Mrs. Carol Davies and Mrs. Bar- bara Tucker met with COE students to dis- cuss job possibilities. Job leads were formed by the students and followed up by the stu- dents or one of the three coordinators. Many students have been fortunate in re- ceiving full time employment from their part time jobs. ““The program is the best in the county”’’, exclaimed Mrs. Avery, “‘as the COE program has had a successful history of finding full time employment for its members and opening doors for many in the future.” Throughout the year COE fund raising activities accumulated over $900 by selling pocket calendars during the holiday season and collecting membership dues from members. This money was used to finance the employee employer banquet. This an- nual get together held at the Swift Creek Mill Playhouse on May 12th, gave workers and bosses a chance to relax outside of the working environment. As the parents were also invited, the employers were able to get acquainted with employees’ families. COE students learned the fundamentals of business management and etiquette in the classroom and had a chance to apply this knowledge in the real working world. Alcohol Awareness.

Students, teachers and administrators. The Freshmen interpreted their stars, and found a new meaning in life. Sophomores took on more responsibilities by “Steppin’ Up” and ventured into Music Television (MTV). College bound Juniors found SAT’s and PSAT NMSQT’s mandatory for college accep- tance. Class Night and speeches made by the Class of 83 on Spirit Day prepared Seniors for a long awaited graduation. Teachers and adminis- trators came “‘Up Front From Behind the Scenes.” They took notice and got involved with a “Tightening Up” policy and “Tacky Teacher Day.” What was Escalating? Enunciating? Aggra- vating? Prom Graduation costs, June 10th and Pet Reeves: Fund raisers for Juniors included hat, maga- zine and bake sales to pay for the cost of Prom. Seniors were involved in a car wash, the annual Gong Show and the Air Band Contest to finance Graduation. These events, along with class dues helped to diminish the cost of Prom and Graa- duation. Teachers and administrators found teaching more demanding and less financially rewarding. Monetary need was a part of the main reason, but community involvement and hobbies were for creating a second career. Seniors caught onto sayings such as “I wish that I could be THAT cool’, “Virginia Beach or Bust,” “Myrtle Beach Bound,” and June 10th. Pet Peeves came to the attention of Freshmen. Pen tapping, hair twisting and biting nails were more noticeable. Sophomores took to the road and found that putting the “‘petal to the metal” could be liberating, but aggravating. For a num- ber of Freshmen, starting at a new school was exciting but some what exasperating. Not only were the surroundings unfamiliar, but the faces, too. The ordeal of moving from one school to another was confusing but going from one state or country to another was frightening. 156 People Divider Paw Power.

The main topic of conversation in the halls was the beach. The majority of the Senior Class was planning on hitting the great Atlantic. Crucial ques- tions yet unanswered were: “Who’s going, how long and where?” ““Who’s taking what?” “Who can drive?” and “How much is it going to cost?” Once the choice was made on roommates, the next step was deciding where to go. Would the bigger beach override the Early Birds. At Myrtle Beach Wesley Browder and Jeff Cauley lounge by the pool in order to catch some early morn- ing rays. traditional one, or does it make any difference? It was a split decision be- tween two favorite beaches: that of Myrtle Beach or Virgin- ia Beach. A constant debate over the two started in March when reservations were made. The decision depended on how much money was to be spent and who was going where. A choice of having a Pavillion or a Boardwalk, bigger shops, wa- terslides, amusements parks, go cart racing, and convenient transportation complicated matters. Then there was the night life; a selection between 2001, Cowboys, and the After- deck or Peabodys, the Pepper- mint Club, and Roxx’s. No matter what the verdict, the im- portant thing was to have the best time possible with close friends. The money that had been scrapped up from savings, in- come, and graduation presents were tucked safely away. Prices for hotels such as the Board- walk Inn, The Seahawk, and the Holiday Inn at Virginia Beach, ranged from $35 to $125 per person for the weekend. Condominiums at Myrtle Beach, at places such as Tilgh- am’s Beach and Racquet Club, Pelican’s Watch, and a Place at the Beach, varied from $65 to $200 per person for a week. The big day finally arrived. Graduation was here and all the plans were set. Everything was ready for the big week ahead of them. Excitement was at its peak. After the good-byes, hugs and kisses, the only thing left on everyone’s mind was the fun ’n the sun. Filled with a full tank of gas the cars were over packed and ready to go. Everything from- bathing suits and beach towels, to stereos and coolers. Off they went! Everyone was prepared to get sizzled and fried, wild and crazy. As memories of one of the biggest moments in their high school years began, the new graduates were ready to live it up. For it was the best fling ever; Seniors, friends hit the road, beach bound and hea- din’ down. Charlotte E. Booth Denise Marie Boyd COE 11; DECA 12; Guidance Aide 10, 11; DECA Competition.

In its second year of existence, the new tradition of Spirit Day took on a more seri- ous slant.

In addition, they shared their memories of the past and hopes for the future. Class President Paul Mosca served as the master of ceremo- nies by introducing each speak- er and by explaining the pur- pose of the speeches: a time to recall MBK’s part in preparing them for the adult world. In ad- dressing the whole student body, but especially speaking to his fellow classmates, he stressed, ““You must express an enthusiasm to enter the world as responsible citizens.”’ Debbie Estes went on “As we the Class of 1983 proceed on with our lives in other ways, we stop to take a look behind us to see how Meadowbrook has improved us in the last four years.” Whether it be on the job or in private lives, each speaker gave his her view on how to succeed. Dawn Craze shared this humor- “One Step at a Time.” Chris Konto- panos’ song lyrics explains how to suc- cessfully achieve personal goals. “Stop to take a look... ”’ Debbie Estes expresses how MBK has improved the Class of ’83 in the last four years.

Heads you win and tails you lose.” Chris Kontopanos’s advice for success was summed up in the lyrics of his original song “One Step at a Time.” In your mind you build a mountain of dreams, It towers too high or so it seems, But don’t feel you are too weak, Just take it one step at a time, Until you reach the peak.

As he re- marked, “I’ve taken several of the business courses while here at Meadowbrook and I can re- lay and fall back on these exper- iences later in life.” Two of the seniors thanked spe- cial people responsible for their success. Ostin Whitaker attrib- uted his success in sports “‘to the support of the coaching staff and my fellow students and friends’. Brian Sadler com- mented, ““‘We have administra- tors who feel that their success lies in our success.” The spirit of the day was cap- tured in the emotional words of Mike Morris.

Keith Simmons flashed his bikini to the crowd while his (oops), her back-up performed their own gyrations. Mick Jagger, alias, Chris Kontopanos and the Rolling Stones, Jeff Combs, Rob Lohr, Richard Ledford and Scott Murphy had everyone dancing with their rendition of “Hang Fire.’ Having all the right moves down to the beat their performance was the crowd’s favorite. Last, but not least, the fe- males were represented by De- Anna Riggins, Amanda Stiltner, and Teresa Wiley as the Weather Girls. Carrying umbrellas and seductively dressed with trench coats and coordinated bathing suits and shirts, they sang and danced to “It’s Raining Men.” Throwing out silver and red glitter and confetti, they flashdanced to the lyrics of the song. Although there was only one first place which was awarded to the Rolling Stones, all the groups were winners. For the last time, the Seniors rocked the walls of the gymnasium. Let her Riff!

March 11th, the Gong Show, favorite Senior-sponsored event. Talented students dis- played their skills and outra- geous ones took a chance at be- ing “gonged”. As the crowd shouted and sang along to “Lies” and “Boom, Boom Out Go the Lights,” the versatile band of Chris Kontopanos, Jeff Combs, Richard Ledford, Rob- bie Lohr and Scott Murphy won the audience’s approval and the first place award of $50. Another award of $25 was given to a group of Seniors that sang the ‘“‘Twelve Days of School” to the tune of the popu- lar Christmas song ‘‘The Twelve Days of Christmas.” The lyrics were the yearly ad- vice of a mother to a daughter as she grew up; “don’t wet your pants,” “don’t stuff your bra,” and “don’t pick your nose.”’ But after eleven grades of advice all the mother could say on the first day of her daughter’s 12th grade was ... “You’re what?” Another act that kept the au- dience laughing was “A Fairy Tale” starring Chris Davis, (The King), Lesley Driver (The beautiful daughter), Cindy Burnette (the ugly daughter), Kip Anderson (Messenger), Laura Woodlief (Dragon), and Dianne Wood (Narrator). The hilarious event netted $554.00 for the class treasury. On May 26th, several Sen- iors volunteered their talent to imitate rock groups with “air” instruments. Among the stars performing were the Village People, Joan Jett and the Black- hearts, the Rolling Stones and the Weather Girls. The Stones received the most applause and won the first Senior Air Band Contest. Proceeds from the event totaled $452.98. Senior dues covered gradu- ation costs, gifts to the adminis- tration, to class sponsors, and to class guidance counselor. In ad- dition, the class donated a Sen- ior bulletin board, a silk flower centerpiece, two candleabras, an overhead projector, ten classroom screens, and one cas- sette tape player. By modifying traditions and introducing new ones, the Class of ’83 left its imprint upon the school and set a precedent for future graduating classes.

These were just some of the exclamations that rang throughout the halls. Signs posted all over the school announcing the arrival of a long awaited pride — CLASS RINGS — were finally a reali- ty. The magical night was Sep- tember 1 6th at six o’clock in the school cafeteria. The junior class had sat by anxiously for two long years and watched curiously as two different classes ahead of them received their class rings. Now, it was their turn to experience the joy and individuality of a personal- ized school ring. Late in their sophomore year, the ordering of the rings began.

Each ring was a special memento that repre- sented some of the best years of their lives. After determining the style of the ring, each student made a down payment for it. This was the time that the juniors real- ized how much the price of gold had gone up over the years. For some, it was quite easy to pay for the rings because parents willingly gave the money to them. For others, it was not so easy. The money had to come out of their own pockets. All that was left to do was to sit back and wait: and wait they did. They waited all summer until the beginning of fall when school reopened. Waiting for the coming rings was almost un- bearable, and as school ap- proached, their impatience grew even stronger. Finally, the day arrived. Six o’clock seemed to roll around very slowly, but eventually it came. Juniors stood in line, waiting for the Balfour repre- sentative, Mr. Motley, to dig through a lot of receipts and rings to get to each individual’s special ring. People opened their little plastic bag which held their own secret treasure. There were gasps and “Wow’s!” uttered throughout the cafeteria and a lot of people running around showing off their rings and having them turned eighty-four times for good luck. That magic number ”84” that would always remain special in their hearts because of their class rings — their PRIDE. Right or left?

The prepara- tions for the Prom began during the freshman year of the class of 84. They were told by their class sponsors to start raising money for the gala event that would take place their junior year. The fund raisers were started early. Car washes and bake sales were just a beginning. Two of the three biggest fund raisers were hat sales and magazine sales. Juniors sold hats for one month and earned $300. They also sold magazine subscrip- tions from door to door, and earned $820. The weekly top salesperson (showing the most perservance) won a prize for the most sales. Class dues, the largest source 184 Juniors of money, were set at ten dollars per student. Any student that had not paid by their junior year did not receive an invita- tion to the dance. The total earnings of the fund raisers were approximately $1120. It was traditional for the juniors to honor the senior class with the Prom, so the need for money was prominent. The most important part of the preparations began in the junior year. The class officers, headed by president Vicki Ellis, did not only represent the Ju- nior class, but they were respon- sible for homecoming, and or- ganizing fund raisers, one of the most memorable events for sen- iors, the Prom. Different committees were set up to help organize the work for the Prom. The memory Book Committee was responsi- ble for listing the names of the junior and senior class officers and their class mottos in the memory booklet. They also composed a poem that included the theme which also appeared in the Memory Booklet. Three hundred and fifty memory booklets were ordered and cost approximately $75. The Deco- rating Committee obtained flowers and constructed a ban- ner with the theme on it, while the Invitation Committee wrote 500 invitations for the juniors, and teachers. The cost for these totaled $340. Caterers were contacted to help select the food. Such things as watermelon boats, cheese and vegetable trays, “chips and dip,’ and twenty gallons of punch were ordered, all totaling $640. A tiara crown for the queen and a Sceptre for the king were carefully selected costing $21 and $18. Two young children, Jennifer Garnett and Daniel Shelton, were selected from the community to present the crown and sceptre to the Queen and King. The Senior Committee was responsible for several things. They organized the selection of the participants in the Senior Figure. Teachers elected the twenty most outstanding sen- iors in the school. These seniors were notified a week before Prom. Two rehearsals were set up, one in the school gym and another at the John Marshall Class Officers: Rick Cooper, Treasurer; Teri Gravitte, Historian; Paula Hill, Secretary; Jill Hammer, Vice-Presi- dent; Vicki Ellis, President; Not Pic- tured: Sponsors, Mrs. Carol Davies, Mrs. Barbara Tucker.

They practiced the traf- fic pattern and formation which was used. The responsibility of dimming the lights and shining the spotlight on each senior rested with the juniors. Next, Mr. Earl Binns was contacted and asked to an- nounce these outstanding sen- iors at the Prom. An arch for the seniors to walk through was rented from Arrow Rentals and cost approximately $35. Mrs. Gwen Prideaux photographed the portraits of the couples, with no burden placed upon the Junior Class treasury. Prom- goers paid for their own photos. The most important commit- tee was the Theme Committee. The theme was finally deter- mined to be “Up Where We Be- long.” This reflected on the past four years of high school life for the seniors. The most expensive item was the band. The band was ob- tained through agent Al Shotwall who gave a list of names of the bands and their prices to the class. The cheapest Sock it to the Eagles!

Prideaux awaits their order. of the bands, Casper, was chose to perform for the dance at the cost of $1,500 for one night. This final expense made the Prom come to a total of $2700, leaving the Junior class with about $300 in which to enter their Senior year. Although $2,700 does not sound like a huge amount of money, the Prom would have been a great deal more expen- sive if the juniors had had to pay for the room in which the dance was held. Due to complications before the Prom, the room that was desired could not be ob- tained so the manager of the John Marshall offered another room, free of charge, taking much off the expense of the dance. Prom was not only expensive for the people who hosted it; it was also quite expensive for those who attened it. In this one night, close to $230 was spent between one couple. First, tux rentals were between $40 and $60. Dresses were in the price range of $60 to $130, not in- cluding all of the accesories. The boutanniere and corsage for the young man and lady cost about $12.50 together. Por- traits that were taken cost $10.00 for the couple and din- ner was an exorbitant $60. The Junior-Senior Prom was expensive and a great amount of work, but the finished prod- uct was quite satisfying. Vicki Ellis commented, “‘we ran into many complications, but through hard work, smooth talking, and many negotiations we had a good Prom.” Junior class secretary, Paula Hill, also agreed. “I felt that the Prom was a great success, and I’m looking forward to being the guest, instead of the host next year.” Treasurer Rick Cooper had this to say, “the hardest thing was getting organized, but after we did, everything ran smoothly and Prom turned out to be a really great event.” Jill Hammer, vice-president com- mented, “In planning for the Prom this year, we had our share of problems, but it was a success. Casper was excellent and I think everyone enjoyed being at the John Marshall again.” Sponsor Carol Davies added, “the Junior Class offi- cers organized committees to be in charge of various functions of the prom. They did their jobs so well that there was very little for me to do. This is one terrific class! The students put on a su- per Prom and I have enjoyed working with its members.” All of the daydreams, hopes, and hardwork for a successful Prom were fulfilled on April 15th, at the John Marshall Hotel, in downtown Richmond.

In fact, it was difficult to determine which was greater: the gloom on the outside or the gloom in the library. Why so much solemness? PSAT’s, of course! One may ask, “what was so awful about the PSAT?” It was not quite that terrible, but it could send a chill up your spine. The PSAT NMSQT, or the Preliminary Scholastic Apti- tude Test National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, was a multiple-choice test that measures developed verbal and mathematical reasoning abili- ties. These skills are important for academic achievement in college. The PSAT NMSQT consists of a verbal section of 188 Juniors sixty-five questions and a math- ematical section of fifty ques- tions. It was designed to test the ability to reason with facts and concepts instead of recalling or reciting them. Testing time to- tals one hour and forty minutes for each section. The test was administered throughout the nation in some 18,000 high schools and costs $4.25. The NMSQT (National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test) was the second part of the PSAT test. Those students with the highest PSAT’s scores re- ceive Merit Scholarships, and others whose scores are very high have their names released to four-year regionally accre- dited U.S. colleges and univer- sities. For many juniors, taking the PSAT NMSQT was quite a large mountain to climb. Junior Teri Gravitte commented, “It was more like a guessing game than an aptitude test.” Both of these tests were designed to pre- pare one for the SAT’s. After all, PSAT’s were only prelimi- nary tests! The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) was an important test for anyone wanting to go to col- lege after high school. It was a required part of acceptance at any college or university. Some schools do not require scores to be too high, but others require them to be absolutely outstand- ing. The SAT costs about $10.50 and was usuall y given early ona Saturday morning at a desig- nated high school. Taking this test was hard enough, but at eight o'clock in the morning, it was hard for anyone. Upon reflection, all was not bad. Many juniors were re- lieved when the test was over and felt that it was not quite as hard as they had anticipated and even by the end of the day, the sun had even begun to shine.

Ninety- eight percent of the sophomore students participated because this course would cost over a hundred dollars anywhere else. The classroom or written por- tion of driver’s education lasted one semester. It included learn- ing the basics such as driving in heavy traffic, traffic signs and Courtney Adams Richard Adams Bobby Adams Eddie Adkins Karen Allison Kim Alston Chris Anderson Billy Baicy Deborah Bailey Joey Bailey James Ball Lori Bardon Danny Barnes Charlene Bartlett Theresa Belford Laura Benford Allan Berry Mark Birch Kathy Bishop Jeff Blackburn Paula Blanchard Kim Blaska Troy Bogan Warren Boggs Miller Bonner Laura Boos Brian Bostic Jodi Bowers Angie Bowles Deidre Branch Kristin Bright Deborah Brocaddus Christina Brooks Sheila Brooks William Brown Cindy Bucknam Barbara Bullock Kim Burke Jeff Burton Barbie Bush Sophomores rules and regulations. About seventy-five percent of the stu- dents passed this part of driver’s education. The other portion of the course consisted of observing and driving behind the wheel. The program lasted fourteen days in school, seven days of which were observing, the re- maining seven days were driv- ing. Ironically, instructor, Mr. Overton commented “‘what the students learned in the class- room, they never did when they drove.” Both instructors, Mr. Dick Overton and Mrs. Cassell Bai- ley agreed that one of the most irritating things was the way other drivers reacted to their student drivers. When they saw the big yellow sign “STU- DENT DRIVER” on the top of the car, other drivers became impatient, beeping their horns and distracting student drivers from their concentration. In a friendly match of the battle between sexes, the in- structors gave their views of the similarities and differences of male and female drivers. Mr. Overton quipped, “the female of the species are the ones who have put me in a ditch and al- most killed me.” On the other hand, Mrs. Bailey thought, “the male was more aggressive” in his driving. Some of the most common mistakes in driving included running stop signs, driving too fast or too slow, and incorrect signaling. Mrs. Bailey pointed out, “Behind the Wheel teaches you the basics only. More par- ental guidance is needed.” Mr. Overton also remarked, “‘we can't teach a student to drive in two weeks, they have to have Start her up! Lisa Kushma is in prepara- tion to begin Behind the Wheel under the instruction of Mrs. Cassell Bailey.

In a survey taken from Mr. Overton’s first period class, the majority of students thought the judge was fair and lenient. A major concern in the news was high rate of accidents due to the problem of teenagers drivng under the influence. When asked, “should the legal age of drinking be raised to twenty-one?” ten students said “No” while nine said “Yes.” Sophomores Those who were opposed to rais- ing the drinking age felt that it would “just make it more ap- pealing to the people under twenty-one.” Others said teen- agers could get it anyway, so “it should stay at eighteen years old because people twenty-one and over would buy it for people under twenty-one.” These students which sup- ported raising the drinking age felt that many “eighteen year- olders couldn’t handle the re- sponsibility of drinking and driving,’ and on waiting to drink until twenty-one years old was wise because “‘it’s the age most people can control them- selves.” Comments from sophomore students that had taken Behind the Wheel pointed out what they liked and disliked about the course. In general they didn’t care too much for the ob- servation part and driving in heavy traffic, however, they were glad it was available for them during their sophomore year. Nevertheless, in order to get their licenses, these deter- mined students plodded through the up’s and downs of driver’s education. With tongue-in-cheek, upon completion of Behind the Wheel, Mr. Overton has a chocolate attack that has to be satisfied before forms get filled out.

I really made it to my sophomore year!” There was much more to “stepping up” than what “met the eye.’ Many responsibilities that were looked upon as unim- portant when freshmen, were now looked upon as important. Grades for instance were to be taken more seriously and were to improve as a result. Respon- sibilities such as bringing neces- sary materials to class, improv- ing classroom behavior, and getting to classes on time were also expected. When the new sophomores “stepped up,” they also realized that there were more choices of classes than the year before. One of the most popular sub- jects was drivers education and behind the wheel.” The thought of getting a driver’s li- cense in the near future was foremost on every sophomore’s mind. Sophomore, Kelly Rub- lee commented, “Getting my li- cense is a ‘dream come true’ for me and I’m so glad I’m able to take the drivers education class this year.” Exams were not as much of a 194 Sophomores horror show anymore because after a year’s experience of tak- ing exams, many sophomores felt they could “lick this mon- ster’. Sophomore, Michelle Pa- ley commented, “the exams were easier than last year be- cause as a freshman I didn’t know what I was getting into, but as a sophomore I realized that there was more studying to be done and it couldn’t be pushed into one night.” As the year progressed, the class of °85 began to obtain more school spirit. Pep rallies became louder and more of the sophomore students were seen at school sports and activities. Many students commented, “we just couldn’t get things to- gether when we were freshmen, but now we're stronger than ever! Sophomore athletes found it easier to be chosen for sports teams. Try-outs were not as dif- ficult for coaches or for ath- letes. For coaches, the perfor- mance of the sophomores in try- outs could be compared with their performance as freshmen. For athletes, the skills they learned as freshmen would be polished as sophomores. However, there were advan- tages and disadvantages to be- ing a sophomore athlete. As Steve Neal mentioned, “The experience of one year of play- ing and knowing the other play- ers and coaches was a great help. The coach knows who he can depend on and who he can’t depend on.” On the other hand, “some sophomores slack off, while in their freshmen year they went all out.” Unlike being a freshman, be- ing a sophomore made it easier to be accepted into many clubs and organizations. As an up- coming freshmen, they were un- aware of the choices of clubs and of the way of becoming a member. While the purpose of activities of the various clubs were passed on to the freshmen “through the grapevine,” the awkwardness of joining a club was overcome by talking to up- perclassmen. For some, their sophomore year was all it was cracked up to be. It was fun, exciting, adven- turous as well as more academic and involved. For others, it meant more work and more re- sponsibilities.

As you stumble to the “Fridge” to get a bite to eat, you remember a great show that will be on the “boob tube” at 3:00 p.m. Sud- denly, a spurt of energy over- comes you! You race to the tube, flip the switch, plop down on the couch and prepare for an afternoon of relaxation. Ahhhh! There’s no doubt about it! T.V. is one of the most popular pastimes for American teen- agers. In March, a survey taken among the sophomore class, three of the most popular televi- sion shows were, “M A S H”, “Magnum P.I.” and “The A Team.” On the other side of the story, sophomores thought the worst television shows were, Sophomores “Dukes of Hazzard , “Little House on the Prairie and “Family Feud.” Many students also enjoyed watching soap opera’s. Over all, the number one soap opera was “Guiding Light.” Sophomore, Carol Hodson remarked, “‘the characters are closely related to real life stories, and the show is the most exciting soap on televi- sion.” When asked could they sur- vive without television, 57% said “yes’’, while 26% said “no”. Sophomore Bill Colgate stated, “there’s no way I could survive without T.V., I would miss sports, violence, ex-“sex- “tra.” The approximate num- ber of hours students watched television was 4 hours daily and a majority of the students were glued to “the tube” at night. Most sophomores watched T.V. with their families, although some of them liked to watch it with friends or by themselves. One of the more exciting shows of the year was the last episode of M A S H. Seventy- seven percent of the sophomore class viewed the last episode of M A S H, while the other twenty-three percent chose to decline. A majority of the stu- dents felt “it was touching and sad: or it was the best M A S H there ever was.” Something new and exciting that tied viewers to their TV sets was the high technology of combining the great sounds of music with the magic of video to create M-TV. Many students’ opinions of M-TV were, “it’s great!” “It’s fun to watch the songs!” “M-TV is just one of the most brilliant ideas of all times.’’ Sophomore Robbie Radford stated, ‘it’s the best thing to come to cable.” On the other hand, some students fel that the new M-TV wasn’t a great as everyone thought it wa going to be. A student com mented, “it stinks, they sho the same thing over and over They never show any nev stuff.” As you hear the six o’cloc news come on, your Mom tell you to go do your homework.

Coming up from junior high school was an exciting and also frightening step into adulthood. Although many freshmen feared the first day, the majority of them con- sidered themselves a part of the young adult world and found it a new adventure. In high school, the teachers treat the students like adults but the pressures are much more intense. The work-load is heavier and more difficult. No one is babied. For some freshmen the thought of their first exam was terrifying. Jimmy Warren re- marked, “I wasn’t too crazy about the idea of taking exams; I’m not a very studious person.” 198 Freshmen Many freshmen found that high school life had more dances, pep rallies, and assem- blies than junior high. “It was really different to go to a pep rally where people get into the cheers. I didn’t know what to do; I felt kind of stupid!” com- mented Liz Jones. “There’s more school-spirit. Junior high was so boring when it came to school activities!” Freshman Cindy Poulson ex- claimed. It also has more opportunities for students to join clubs and sports that interest them. The time of year when freshmen fi- nally felt like they were really out of junior high was HOME- COMING! “It’s fun to be a part of the Homecoming Pa- rade and to be able to go to the Homecoming dance. I can’t wait until we are juniors and get to go to the Prom!,” exclaimed Robin Drganc. Freshmen had varied opin- ions about the treatment from the upper classes. “It may be a tradition to pick on the new- comers but is it right?” “They were freshmen once and I’m sure they didn’t like it much either.” Even though the flight through the first year of high school was rough at times, Freshmen learned how to soar with the pride and courage of the Monarch tradition.

This study is based on the belief that the heavenly bodies control the af- fairs of people and that the movements and positions can be used to predict the future. The zodiac and house are the most common terms in astrol- ogy. The zodiac is that portion of the sky through which the sun, moon, and planets move from east to west. For astrologi- cal purposes, the zodiac is divid- ed into twelve portions called houses, or the house of heavens. Each house is named for a con- stellation (a group of stars), called a sign of the zodiac. Horoscope comes from the Greek word horoskopos, mean- ing one who observes the hours.

Astrologers have predicted many events that never came to be, but astrologers have some- times made predictions that agree with events that actually took place. As a result, even to- day many persons have faith in astrology and check with it on the future. In the astrology survey given to the freshmen this year, two hundred and ninety-six of the four hundred and eighty-six freshmen completed the survey. The following are the results of the survey: two hundred and sixty-one believed in astrology, two hundred read their horo- scope and one hundred ninety- one believed that they came true. Over two hundred and fif- ty believed in other types of sci- entific astrology. Twenty-five respondants did not believe in other types of scientific astrol- ogy. They gave the following examples: looking at the stars, tarot cards, (used in fortune telling), palm reading, fortell- ing, and Biorhythms. Each zodiac sign has a key phrase which states the main characteristics and can be de - scribed in one word. They are as follows: Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) “I know’, Faithful. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 21) “I believe’, Trusting. Aries (March 22-March 21) “I am’, Outspoken. Taurus (April 21-April 20) “I have’’, Possessive. Gemini (May 22-June 21) “lI think”, Investigative. Cancer (June 22-July 21) “I feel”, Sentimental. Leo (July 23-Aug. 23) “I will” Noble. Virgo (July 23-Sept. 23) “1 analyze’, Conscientious. Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23) “I bal. ance’, Impressionate. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) “] desire’, Determined Sagitttarius (Nov 23-Dec. 23) “1 see’, bright. Capricorn (Dec. 23-Jan. 19) “l use’, authoritative.

You have just fifteen minutes to finish your test, the only thing you can think of is that annoying sound. The noise continues. Your temper grows short and your mind screams Sut LOP iT! Pet Peeves’, we all are famil- | iar with annoying habits, irra- tating quirks, or monotonous phrases that can push even the most mild mannered person into a frenzy. School situations offered a variety of occasions to notice such irratating habits. In Algebra, there was the student who sat next to you and tapped his fingers all period long. Then, there was that History teacher who constantly waved her hands around during the lecture. Observing students in class, you saw the foot tapper, hair twister, nail bitter, and obses- sive doodler. To the doer, these behaviors were usually uncon- cious, but to the viewers, they were all too obvious. In addition to annoying body language, there were verbal quirks that upset both students and teach- ers. The latest rage to push peo- ple to the brink of madness. Valley Talk: “Bart out’, “Gag me with a spoon,” “like totally.” The devotees of these overused phrases drove parents, teachers, and students to insan- ity. Most recent was a satiric way of talking that really got on people’s nerves; “Your mama,” mie a job, “Ob yep! Teachers remarked that one of their pet peeves were the freshman excuses for not com- pleting homework: “‘I left it at home”, “My dog ate it’’, “What homework?” Over and over again, teachers were tortured by these excuses. Freshmen noted that teach- ers who play favorites or “who give surprise quizzes” or “who refuse to admit they might be wrong” were just a few things that irked them about their teachers. Coping with the quirks of others is best a strain on your patience. Isn't it a comfort to know that you’re perfect and it’s just other people who have those nasty little habits. Just a little quirk: Freshman, Sharon Spencer, studying for an Algebra quiz in the library, unconsciously bites her fingernails to ease the tension.

There were strangers who stare at you as if you were a creature from outer space. Starting at a new school can be scary, confusing, frightening and quite an ordeal for anyone about to begin at a new school where everything was totally different. For the six percent of the Freshman at our school who came from another state or country, arriving at a school where things were so un- usual from what they were used to be was terrifying. On the other hand, for Fresh- man Candy Sigler, going to a 204 Freshman new school was not so out of the ordinary. Because of job trans- fers in her family, she attended schools from Minnesota to Ohio, from California to Texas, and from Nevada to Missouri. In all, she attended fifteen schools. When asked what she found different about school in Virginia, she replied “they’re much smaller, and are closed schools.” She explained that the other schools were larger and used open classrooms. She had trouble getting used to having the closed classroom situation. Freshman Lisa Wooten, stat- ed that she thought Virginia’s school were not as advanced as those in Georgia, when it came down to teaching skills. She felt that Georgia was ahead aca- demically and that the teachers were better, but she found that the grading system in Virginia was much harder. Lisa also commented that she “likes the people in Georgia better than those in Virginia because they’re much friendlier to someone who is new at school.” As for Freshman Allen Barnes, he found that Virginia schools were the same academi- cally at his formal school, but the classes were some what dif- ferent. Attending a total of eight different schools, six in Virginia and two in Pennsylva- nia, he was not use to the system of having only six classes. At Allen’s former was taking eight classes and when he came here he had to drop typing and in- dustrial arts. When asked about how he was treated he first ar- rive d, he replied, “when I first moved here, I thought I would have trouble making friends, but when I got here I met a few people even the first day, and they helped me make more friends.” He found his year here interesting but said he missed — his friends and his former teachers. : Freshman David Fox stated that at his former school, Enloe High in North Carolina, they had eight credits. They had- courses such as space science, astronomy, and Bus Driver’s Ed. If you were a senior, you could drive one of the school buses to and from school and receive a credit for it. They also” had fifteen different languages. such as Russian, Japanese, and Korean. When asked what he felt his year was like he com-— mented, “exciting and differ- ent. I was ignored at first.”” He also said that his former school The first day of school.

Living in one state and going to school in another may seem unlikely, but that was what Freshman J. Victor McElroy did. Because he lived in Ala- bama on the Georgia-Alabama state line, he went to the closest school, which was in Georgia. Making friends here was some- what easy for him, but the change from a small town in Alabama to a big city like Rich- mond was one that took time getting used to. According to J. Victor “Virginia’s alright, but Alabama is my home.” When Freshman Kim Owen first arrived in Virginia she commented, “people were very nice to me. It wasn’t hard to make friends at all. It made moving alot easier!” Kim for- merly went to school in Hous- ton, Texas where she found the 206 Freshmen grading scale much easier and said that what she missed most was her best friend. When asked what she liked the most about Virginia’s schools, she said that she liked the break we use to have and the smoking area. For Freshman Nancy Kirk- ham, the year had been really nice and she found the classes very challenging which she called “different”. Nancy at- tended schools in Alabama, Ne- braska, Pennsylvania, and Utah, and found that what she missed the most was the carpet- ing in her former school. She also said that our school was sl ightly smaller. As for Nancy’s first day here, she said it went nicely. She spent the day with a friend who showed her around and introduced her to some peo- ple. Students who came from oth- Nomadic Newcomer (cont'd) er countries became familiar with American high school life. They come from Cuba, Af- ghanistan, Korea, Japan, Viet- nam and Cambodia. Abida and Aziz .A., two students from Af- ghanistan stated that American schools were more interesting because students moved from class to class. Freshman Matt Walker, al- though an American, went to school in Stuttgart, Germany, for two years. While living in Germany attended an Ameri- can private school on a military base. He enjoyed the modern school building where class- rooms had carpet and skylights. He liked the sports and pep ral- lies in Germany better than those in the American schools. When asked what he missed most he replied, “I would have to say the German food, my German country side.” Most of the students that were new to our school from an- other state or country, were their friends. They also have found schools in Virginia much smaller and less modern than those in other states. When asked what they would like to see changed about Mea- dowbrook, many replied, “the crowded halls,” “the hopes for a warmer welcome.” The year had been interest- ing, fun, and different for the majority of the newcomers. If one word could describe what the year was like, it would be “unforgettable.” Sen ee ee Se Happy Easter!

Prof ile: leacher Burnout? Dreaded Disease re there people suffer- ing from “teacher burn out?” Teachers were surveyed con- cerning their feelings about this “disease” afflicting many pro- fessions. Instructors enjoyed various aspects of teaching. They liked the interaction with students in and outside of the classroom. Teachers expressed satisfaction in knowing that students learned a subject they loved and seeing improvement in pupils who had difficulty. For many teachers the variety of day to day teaching made for a never- a-dull moment. However not everything was enjoyable about teaching. Some duties were seen as drudgery: grading papers, filling out re- ports, distributing notices, writ- ing out passes, and checking at- tendance. 208 Faculty Other sources of concern in- cluded students who lacked self-discipline and respect. To many teachers, “it was frustrat- ing to see students who did not put forth an effort and use their full potential.” Many reasons were given for teachers leaving their profes- sion and going on to other areas. For example, financial difficul- ty was the most common rea- son. Another cause was the lack of respect and appreciation felt by some teachers, not being re- warded for their efforts and long hours they put in. Teachers were frustrated when students no longer had the desire to learn. Teaching has become more demanding and the work load has become greater. Teachers were asked what they would be doing in the next five years. Most teachers com- mented that they would still be teaching. Some teachers stated they would be doing adminis- trative work. Other saw them- selves in the private industry, or starting their own business. Seventy percent of the facul- ty explains the effort and mon- ey that was put into their educa- tion to become a teacher was worth the price, while thirty percent disagreed. One teacher commented, “Yes, it was worth it. But often I feel I’m still put- ting in more time and my stu- dents are putting in less time to learn.” Another teacher said, “If given a chance to start over, I would probably choose an- other profession.’’ Another teacher stated, “Yes, because | really wanted to work with stu- dents. | knew the money would never be there; however, | thought I would always be ap- preciated and that has changed.” A positive response from one teacher was “Yes, I get up in the morning and I’m excited about each day! Can't wait to get to school.” There was no concensus among the faculty as to why the public was so critical. These quotes represent opinions of the faculty’s point of view. “Kids have so many more extra-cur- ricular activities and jobs that most didn’t have in the past. Therefore, more lower scores on the SAT’s, and the press. and parents want to blame some- body — so it is the teachers who get the blame” was one opinion. Another opinion was “Teaching is looked on as a cure-all for parents’ and societies’ failure. They expect results that should be accomplished in the home. They want Joe Stupid to be Joe Genius and he can't be.” A dif- ferent response was ““Many people feel their children are not receiving a good education. Perhaps they have a right to be critical when you are helping to mold the lives of their children. Perhaps they feel the quality is not what it should be.” , One aspect of teaching that teachers would like to see changed is their financial sta- tus. Other teachers would like to hire more aides to do clerical work. This would leave more time for teaching. They would like to change the class load, the number of students per teacher, and transform attitudes of stu- dents toward learning. Teach- ers would prefer to be recog- nized and appreciated as a professional in the eyes of the public. Is there such a thing as “teacher burn out.” Apparent- ly, to some educators there is. The wearing down of energy and enthusiasm are apparent in all professions. But something keeps the faculty coming back everyday for more. What is that something? A concern for the education of young people and a love of their profession. Mrs. Mary Bowen Typing I, Department Head Mrs. Barbara Bowles English 9.

For some teachers, teaching from 7:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. was not the sum total of their work day. Of the 51 faculty members that responded to an anony- mous questionnaire, 31% had part time jobs. While 43% of them listed “teaching” as their sole occupation, 57% said they have another job on the side. Why two jobs? “Not enough pay.” “To help with my hus- band’s occupation.” I enjoy cre- ating.” “To leave high school teaching.” “To broaden my concept of the business world ... to earn extra money.” “Son in college.” The main reason seemed to be financial support, but there Mrs. Ann Ellington English 10, 12 Mrs. Lynn Faison LD Reading; LD Study Skills 9; LD English 11, 12.

One teacher who worked as a board member for the Commu- nity Service Board commented, “As a concerned citizen, | am interested in good mental health. I enjoy helping others.” Another teacher stated, ‘I want to turn my hobby as a car- penter and a cabinet-maker into a profit-making one.” What ever the reason, more and more teachers found the need for that second job. Ninety-seven percent of the teachers who did obtain a sec- ond job enjoyed their work but three percent didn’t find it plea- surable. One teacher did not en- joy the part-time job but said, “I need the extra money to meet my bills.” Some teachers said that com- pared to teaching, their extra job gave them more satisfac- tion. As several teachers stated, “My extra job gives me more fulfillment because people are more complimentary, I have more responsibility and more authority.” For others, nothing could compare with teaching. “There is no comparison, teach- ing is 1,” exclaimed one teach- er. Most felt that their extra job gave them satisfaction but teaching was their first prefer- ence. As one teacher stated, “Teaching is more rewarding mentally because it allows me to feel that I have enlightened a mind and it keeps me in time with youth, and the future gen- eration.” Fifty-five percent didn’t want their extra job to turn into full time careers, teaching was still their main source of income. “Teaching is more secure than my second job right now, I can’t afford to risk it,” explained one teacher. Yet 45% would consid- er taking that step toward a new full time career. “Yes, I would consider making this part-time job a full time career,” one teacher stated, “the financial rewards are greater.” An interesting interpretation of having an “extra job” was made by one coach. “Coaching and training add an additional 15-30 hours a week to my work load. The money doesn’t com- pensate for the extra time put in but the satisfaction makes it worthwhile.” Some teachers had a second job but were not paid income. One teacher ex- plained, “the work of planning, cleaning, and cooking for my family is a job in itself, but not another paying one.” When students leave for home everyday, for some of them their work was done, but to 57% of the teachers, theirs has just begun.

Yes, I’m go- ing to sponsor that new club. I missed not working with the students last year. The kids made me get involved! How about you?”’ “No, I've had enough, last year was great but it was so time consuming and this year I don’t have the time to put into it. But I do want to participate in activities that promotes school spirit.” This was the concensus of many faculty members. Some wanted to get involved while others were inclined to give sup- port without getting directly in- volved. In the anonymous faculty survey, teachers were asked a series of questions concerning their views on school spirit, teacher-student involvement, and on the “Tightening Up” policy. When questioned about pep rallies, 74% of the faculty re- sponded that pep rallies were a pertinent aspect to student life. One teacher who was in favor of pep rallies said, “School spirit is important. It helps student life as well as encourages the athle- tic teams.” Another teacher agreed, “They stimulate school spirit the way nothing else is able to do.” Still there were teachers who thought that pep rallies were not important; “Students are not totally in- volved.’ Pep rallies are out dated, they were better for the 50’s and 60's.” When asked to comment about their school spirit, 52% of the respondents said that the teachers school spirit was fair. Two faculty members com- mented on the spirit by saying, “Teachers out grow Rah! Rah!” “The school spirit really de- pends on the individual teach- er!” “Some teachers are fair in school spirit some excellent, and some poor. Each member of the staff gets up and cheers for some school affair. Some have all the spirit, while others had none.” Many teachers felt the reason for poor school spirit among the faculty was because very few attended pep rallies and games. One teacher stated, “It has been excellent in the past; however, some behind the — scenes events this year have done much to destroy the spir- it One way some of the teachers tried to arouse more spirit was by promoting “Tacky Teacher Day.” Out of the 42 surveys re- turned, twenty teachers said they had participated in this special activity, but twenty- three had not. One member of the staff stated, “A teacher is a professional and should dress as one.” Another replied, “I was a chicken.” Fifty-seven percent of the faculty responding to the poll said they sponsored a club or coached a sport. One teacher said, “I want out-of-class con- tact with students. With the students I would like to be more personal, and less class and sub- ject oriented. I enjoy working on projects with students and socializing with them in a less structured atmosphere than class time permits.” Another commented, “it’s a disease!” On the other hand, 43% of the teachers felt that sponsoring an afterschool activity wasn't a “bed of roses.” One teacher added, “We wind up doing all the work.” When asked how they felt about the “Tightening Up” policy —- checking hall passes, and suspension of the 10 minute break, 95% said that they agreed with the “Tightening Up” policy. One teacher re- marked, “Too many yo-yo's take advantage of the slack of the system.” Two teachers disa- greed with the new policy. One commented, “it makes school like a prison and makes both the staff and students unhappy.” Another said, “The policy is a reaction to outside pressure.” There were three varied opi n- ions, among teachers about the situation between students and themselves. The majority of the faculty staff felt that teacher- student involvement was diffi- cult to evaluate. Seventy-five percent of the teachers agreed the student teacher relation- ships was good to excellent but a small 5% noted that the in- volvement was poor. One ob- served, “It really seems to be the same. The teachers have al- — ways been concerned.” Another — teacher replied, “Teacher mo- rale is poor because of the be- hind-the-scenes problems this year.” The teachers who were unsure of their reaction to teacher-student involvement — explained, “there has been too — much unfair parent criticism.” There were many reasons — _why teachers didn’t get fully in- — volved in school activities but everyone contributed to the welfare of the school in their — own special way. - Rah!

Faculty 213 Profile: Behind the Scenes Up Front from Behind the Scenes wo very different but equally important groups of people were the backbone of the school. Their job was to run the school in a smooth and orderly fashion. They were the “Up Front. and “Behind the Scene’s” people. ‘Lhe--Gp Front. people. teachers and administrators, were seen at school from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and long after on many days. Students were educated by the “Up Front” teachers and by the administra- tors. The administrators, Larry Buchanan, Don Kelly, and Wayne Wilson, were present at 214 Behind the Scenes all times. They were visible at assemblies, at pep rallies, in the halls, at sporting and club events, and at night time activi- ties. Then there were the “Behind the Scene’s” personnel, not so often seen but available at all times for duty. This group in- cluded the secretaries, cafeteria workers, and the custodial staff. They were always around to do the little things that made a big difference. The cafeteria workers and custodial staff worked on a day- to-day basis to keep their areas running smoothly. The cafete- ria workers, led by Mrs. Cook, not only served the students lunches everyday but, also cooked for evaluation banquets and other special occasions. Teachers and administration were assisted by the business skills of the office personnel. Whenever a paper was needed to be typed, a form filled out, or a document zeroxed, secretaries _and office workers could be de- pended on to lend a helping hand. The least noticed and appre- ciated group were the nine members of the custodial staff. Jill Branch, and James Mason, kept things running during the day and turned things over to Fred Bonner who headed the af- ternoon night crew. Their job was never easy because students didn’t hit the trash can as often as they should, and spills and messes were often left for them to attend to. Even though it may have not been noticed by many, the “Up Front” and “Behind the Scenes” people worked to- gether as a team. : They were a very important part in the management of the school, each contributing in their own way to make the whole system work. You're in good hands. Senior Guidance Counselor, Mr. Bill Sindlinger advises Senior Chayna Black on her course se- lection needed for college. “Heave ho!” Assistant Principal, Mr. Don Kelly stacks a large supply of re- freshing beverages in the faculty lounge for thirsty teachers. “Where do I go?” On the first week of school, Office Secretary, Mrs. Thelma Grizzard points out the proper schedule to a new student and his father. we gS tt — oc oe a ee — aa g' if A An all day job.

Behind the Scenes 217 The envelope, please. Mr. Buchanan carries out one of the many privileges of being a principal by bestowing the aca- demic distinction of becoming a Na- tional Honor Society member upon qualified students. “Papa B” Mr. Buchanan regards all 1456 students as if they were his own, even prospective Monarch Heather Cathers, daughter of Laura and David Cathers. 218 Tribute Always There! Leaning against the gymnasium wall, “Mr. B” watches a home basketball game and is always seen attending extracurricular events. Unforgettable Moment. Mike Morris, his sister, Donna, Mr. Buchanan and Mike’s Mom pose in front of Mike’s new van for T.V., newspaper, and school cameras on Van Day, May 28, 1982. Pena ne OCS Me ¢ Ps de alti a) Seiad ee PES. de” A Principal of Principles o you remember the ba- nana eats? The egg throws? The tugs-of-war? The mini- Olympics? None of these would have taken place without Mr. Buchanan’s approval. Oh, they were fun, even frivolous, but perhaps necessary to break the routine of the school year. Of course, there were other activities of a more serious na- ture. Did you know that the campaign to raise money for Mike Morris’ van, which may have been Meadowbrook’s fin- est hour, was entirely Mr. Bu- chanan’s idea? He also instituted an “open door” policy, soliciting the in- put of students, faculty and par- ents through Mr. B’s lucheons, the Faculty Committee, the , “a Parent-Advisory Committee and Parents’ Visitation Days. Moreover, with his encour- agement, students shared their knowledge with local elemen- tary school students through teach-in’s as well as the SODA program and got to find out if the grass really was “greener”, in the exchange program with other high schools. Just who is Larry Buchanan, better known to most of us as “Mr. B”? A native of North Carolina, he holds degrees from Wake Forest University and the University of Virginia. He is also a devoted husband and father who is active in his church and community. As a member of the Bon Air Baptist Church, Mr. Buchanan served as a Deacon, taught in the Sun- day School and worked with the Young Adult Group. He was a former member of the Man- chester Optomist Club and served as a member of the For- est View Rescue Squad. He was assistant principal of Meadowbrook from 1968 to 1971 and principal from 1971 to 1983. He is a man who has represented the Chesterfield County School System in nu- merous capacities, including at- tendance at conventions in Dal- las, Las Vegas, and San Francisco. But, most of all, he is some- one who had an affair of the heart with Meadowbrook High School and us with him. Mr. B., We Salute You! “Come on in, the water’s fine.” At the spring clubs-sponsored Carnival, “Mr. B” volunteers to be the victim in the dunking booth. WE LOVE You NR B |. STA Come Dancing. Supporting students’ social events is one of Mr. B’s favorite past-times as he enjoys a dance with student Diann Dickinson at Homecom- ing. Business As Usual. Principal, Mr. Larry Buchanan performs one of the many du- ties of an administrators talking on his office phone with parents and the public about school matters. Top Billing! On May 25th at the Holi- day Inn on Midlothian Turnpike, the SCA held a banquet in honor of “Mr. B”, for his contributions to the school. Tribute 219 Acknowledging All n index is not just an alphabetized listing of names, places, and subjects included in a printed work that gives the page location, but where every person, organization, sport, and event from A to Z were represented. The school wasn’t just noticed by the students but also by the neighboring and distant commu- nities. Exchanging yearbooks with other Virgin- ia high schools at the V.H.S.L. publications con- ference gave the yearbook statewide exposure. When the Sceptre staff pounded the pave- ment from as near as Meadowbrook Plaza to as far away as Carytown it earned $3000 in busi- ness advertisements. Business support from the community ranged from $100 full page ads from W.S. Carnes, Ukrops, Athletic Department, the Navy, and Anny’s Restaurant, and Balfour to $5 sponsors from students, parents, faculty and community. School doors opened up to the community for local activities such as Bingo sponsored by the Athletic Department and sporting events. In the evenings adult education classes, plays, and con- certs were held. Other schools were invited in- side for the exchange program and College Night. The Chesterfield County Recreational Department used the facilities for athletic pro- grams for all ages. The number of times a person’s name is listed indicated the extent to which a student took no- tice of the school activities and participated in them. Acknowledging each and everyone who made up the school environment was the staff’s goal. 220 Ads Index Divider Get into It!

It’s not just a job, its an adventure. The young men and women of today’s Navy respond to the same call to adventure that has brought sailors to the sea for generations. It's an exciting challenge, one that can take you around the world and show you new places, new people and a new life. It takes a person with a strong desire to succeed, one who is ready to work hard and take advantage of the Navy's many opportunities. The Navy fs a good place to make good — because long ago we realized that even with the finest ships and most sophisticated equipment, the most important part of the Navy is people. It was true when a sailing ship was only as good as the hand at the helm and the men at the sails. And it’s true today when computers are only as good as the judgment of their operators. This is why the Navy provides the best schools and teachers, and insists its people get the finest training and education for their jobs. Obviously, you can't prove yourself until you're given the chance. You'll get that chance in the Navy. Advancement is based on ability, and Navy people are encouraged to use their ability to get ahead. BRIG ial Alf MS2 USN NAvY RECRUITER NAVY RECRUITING STATION 21 BUFORD RD.
