Turn, Turn, Tu ... a time to give, hen school came back to life on August 29, 1983 students were inspired by changes that oc- curred over the summer. Changes that would affect all areas of the school community. Academics, student life, sports, clubs, organizations and people felt the transformation made by the ar- rival of a new administration. Students gave in to the teaching techniques of the faculty while reaping the rewards of new knowl- edge and more communication and interaction between the teachers and pupils. Classroom activities of sex edu- cation, guest speakers, lectures and reports presented students with the incentive for improving grades and spending more time on studies. As learning went beyond school Opening we a time to take boundaries, IWE and ICT stu- dents became better acquainted with the working world. Through the extra homework and time-on- tasks, students reached the goals set by the new Principal Kent Walker of Bringing Out Their Bestems Student life observed a change in the school’s interior and exteri- or. A change that students would recognize and have to adapt to. A mural designed by advanced art students allowed visitors a view of the school from the inside. Instead of indulging in cafeteria food, many students took in the sights in the library, smoking area or courtyard.

The trip could be rough and filled with academic anxieties of pos- sible failure. The course of this trip took turns down unexplored avenues of information. The tour guides on his trip ranged from practical veterans to ener- getic newcomers. What do teachers like to do most of the time ... talk! Lec- turing was a main teaching technique for 80% of the facul- ty. Mr. Brian Kane, Govern- ment teacher, stated that he ex- emplified the Socratic Method of asking questions to make his students think. In teaching French, Mrs. Linda Davidson also used “a lot of questions to stimulate conversations’, and she encouraged her students to express their ideas in French, of course. Teachers’ creative styles were reflected in projects as- had “Is this right?” Bobby Barker and class- mate, Homer Garr, work on wood carv- ing in Industrial Arts class. 8 Classroom Activities signed to their students. Miss Priscilla Barth’s English classes watched shows dealing with adolescent problems and _ stu- dents supplied an ending from their imaginations. Foreign lan- guage students had various cul- tural differences to discover. Spanish teacher, Mrs. Liz Sum- ner had her students prepare foods and observe Spanish holi- days for an ethnic treat. Learning went beyond books and ordinary writing assign- ments. In Mrs. Irene Peters AP History class, Seniors Stu Brumfield and Bruce Sadler presented a slide sound show displaying the horrors of Viet- nam. In addition, they role- played an interview between a State Department agent and a Vietnam Veteran. This was cablecasted on local cable TV. The words “‘term paper” struck panic into the hearts of most students. 68% of all teach- “Wake up Annie!”?

More than half of the teachers surveyed felt that oral reports were more beneficial than writ- ten, because they gave the stu- dents a chance to speak in front of others. 72% of the faculty felt that through audio-visual aides, students more fully understood their point. Learning took many differ- ent formats such as participa- tion in mixed choir and vocal ensembles. Mr. Earl Binns, Fine Arts Chairman, stated that these courses were “active classes rather than passive be- cause each student participated for a grade”. Guest speakers were abun- dant.

Cecil Chambers told Mrs. Helen Collins classes about his trip to the Soviet Union, Dr. Troncale and Dr. Tirs discussed life in the USSR for Mrs. Sumner’s students. Walking down the 300 hall, the sounds of tapping typewrit- ers, the beeping of syntax er- rors, the sliding of rulers, the clicking of cameras and the voices of guests were heard coming from business, math, mechanical drawing, photogra- phy, art and distributive educa- tion.

Can a course be mandatory and popular at the same time? “Yes!’’ shouted most sopho- morrs in Drivers Ed. For almost all, it was easier to learn about driving in a car than in a class- room. As Tammi Newman stat- ed, “You can see with your own eyes, the real things.” What you don’t know can hurt you! For the first time Sex Ed was offered to freshmen. The course was segregated and discussion was limited to “the facts”. After nine months, the tour came to an end. Even though the ride could be tough at times, the knowledge gained from the trip will last students for a life time. ““Where are we?” Freshmen Peggy Boroh and Jamie Dunford are absorbed in a map project in Mrs. Winston’s World Geography class.

De- pending on their class loads, students could be dismissed e1- ther after 4th or 5th period to attend various places of em- ployment such as gas stations, grocery stores, fast food restau- rants, and day care centers. The students received two credits, one for classroom work, and one for on-the-job training. The coordinators for IWE, Industrial Work Experience, were Mr. Howard Lewis and Mrs. Margaret Johnson. The objective of this course was to develop and demonstrate basic job entry skills, communica- tions skills, mathematical skills, production skills, personal skills (proper set of values) and ca- reer awareness. Students ac- quired their jobs through leads Keeping tabs. D.E. students April Plummer supervises cashiers at Brad- lees. given to them by coordinators, guidance, friends, and family members. Mrs. Johnson had 40 stu- dents in her program. Working an average of 15-20 hours per week, her students put in 77327 hours 7and made $57,562.72. The Outstanding Job Performance Award from Mrs. Johnson’s class went to Wendy Martin Jackson. Mr. Lewis had 30 students in his program. His students aver- aged working 20-25 hours per week.

On the Job All Day (cont'd) was a work release program for high school students who were at least 16 years old and a junior or senior. They received pre- employment training in the high school classroom and on- the-job training in an industrial or trade related occupation. Ms. Babcock had 44 students in her program. They worked 35,785 total hours and earned $138,526.83. The students were graded on classroom perfor- mance (based on academics) and job performance (based on employer evaluation). The stu- dents in the ICT program had to work a minimum of 15 hours per week, but most worked 25- 30 hours a week; some even worked 40 hours a week if they kept their grades up. Most of the students acquired their jobs either through contacts made by the teacher-coordinator (Ms. Babcock), or by finding the job themselves since part of the ICT curriculum was job- seeking skills. ICT Student-of- the-Year was Keith Aldridge. Outstanding Work Perfor- mance Awards went to Doug Walls and Dale Faulkner. The coordinators for DE, Marketing and Distributive Education, were Mrs. Julie Es- tes and Ms. Donna Wainscott. The purpose of DE was to pre- pare the student for a future in the field of marketing, and the courses were designed to equip students with marketable job skills. There were 98 students in the DE program with 43 going to work. The students in the DE program put in 29,248 hours and made $104,336, averaging 15-20 hours per student per week. Although teachers tried to help students find jobs relat- ing to their career interests, oc- casionally students found jobs on their own. Phillip DeSan- Martino was DECA Student- of-the- Year; Paul Murray and Teri Gravitte received awards for Superior Work Perfor- mance. The IWE-ICT-DE Employee-Employer Banquet was held at Meadowbrook Country Club on May 30th. The banquet was financed through fund raising through- out the year. The purpose of this banquet was to recognize em- ployers who had supported the program throughout the year and to honor outstanding stu- dents. Work Program 15 Nail her good!

Jeff Burgess had no problem voicing his opinion, “Tech is Great!” Not only was Tech an oppor- tunity to learn a trade, but it was a place to learn a career. Students took courses from 18 training programs ranging from auto mechanics, carpentry, photography, cosmetology, data processing, drafting, elec- tricity, electronics to food ser- vices, heating air-conditioning, horticulture, masonry, metal fabrication, metal, plumbing, on, a.

She is rescued by two police officers, McGin- nis (Pat Carr), and Richards (Tony Taylor) and is brought to the runaway house where her separated parents, played by Barry Cook and Kirn Royal come to bring her home. In the confrontation that follows the family finally faced its prob- lems and we are forced to real- ize that any young person can become a runaway.

She rushes right over and falls starstruck into Jesse’s trap. Resisting at first, she tries to stay casual, but with the help of time and a few drinks, Muriel finally succumbs to Jesse. This act soon pushes her to show that she wants to be seduced as bad- ly as Jesse wants to seduce her. As they move to the bedroom, the lights go out.

The weather was one of the many things that they would remem- ber about their weekend in the Big Apple. Senior, Karen Drinkwater recalled, “‘The weather was terrible while we were there, but we still had an excellent time.” The trip was filled with memorable exper- iences of bustling subways, breakdancing in the streets, and tall buildings filled with glass panes.

When we got to New York, Ms. Estes gave the students that participated in it ten dollars back.” Fashion and Marketing classes visted the Safeway Dis- tribution Center, White Flint Mall, Chrysler Museum, and ‘“Waterside’ Norfolk Mall. These trips exposed students to high fashion stores, marketing techniques, and displays. The year was chock full of ac- tivities. Fashion merchandising coordinators approached the manager of the new Farm Fresh with the idea of an in-store fash- ion show. On December 3 and 9 fashion students participated in two shows and were video taped by Media Club members. This was cablecast from Storer Ca- ble on the local access channel. The marketing department, headed by Francine Hymes, went to Miller Rhoads with the idea of students taking in- ventory as a fund raiser.

Many teachers captured the attention and en- thusiasm of their students by taking charge of outside activi- ties. They headed toward places such as the Washington Zoo, Ridge Cinema, The State Peni- tentiary and various local schools. Not only did students benefit from going outside the school to become more aware of their environment, but they brought to the community the talents that they learned at school. Art students, Chorus, Jazz Lab and Stage Band traveled to the courthouse on May 16 fora showcase of talent known as “Eat Lunch with Meadow- brook”. The purpose of the trip was to show that the arts were alive and well. The day was not as successful as hoped due to cool temperatures and wind which blew the exhibits down.

Mrs. Davidson also knew just how to enjoy her spring break. She and her husband Bill, along with her foreign language stu- dents and several adult chaper- ones, spent 12 days in France. It was particularly worthwhile in that they spent the entire time in French-speaking areas and were able to use French in con- versations. By spending more time in Paris, they were able to further their adventures going to the top of the Eiffel Tower, exploring St. Louis, the second island in the Seine, and having ice cream at the famous Berth- illon’s. One of the main attrac- tions to some students was the topless bodies at the beach. The French music was also very well liked. Mrs. Davidson added, “It was fun getting to know my stu- dents as people. They were well- behaved young adults because that was what we expected them to be.” Ms. Irene Peters took her 11th grade U.S. History classes to Appomatox Courthouse, Vir- ginia. This visit included a tour of the battlefields, museums and of the Flood Plantation nearby. Ann Riley’s father, Rev. Riley, pastor of Beulah Methodist Church, served as guide for Ms. Peters and her students. Other unusual school trips were taken by the Advanced P.E. classes. One of these was the White Water raft trip. It was headed by Mrs. Sandy Lee and involved 32 students. The cost was $13 per person. The purpose was simply to exper- ience a white water raft trip and to learn new skills. Todd Hal- linan stated, “I learned basic maneuvers in the water.” By extending their education beyond the confines of the school, students and teachers returned to the classroom en- riched by the people and places they encountered around the town.

A Plea for Academic Sanity Judge: The Case of Students Who Choose Not To Stay After Hours vs. Students Who Choose to Stay After Hours to Work on Academic Skills The defendants have been ac- cused of insanity for staying after school for extra academic work when it 1s not always re- quired. How do you plead? Defen- dants’ Lawyer: Your honor, my clients plead not guilty by rea- son of academic sanity. re these students out of their minds?” “‘Why would they stay beyond the required Cie vas Some students extended their academic ability only until the 1:50 p.m. bell, while others will- ingly remained past the regular day. Reasons for staying after hours varied from necessity to freedom of choice. As Senior Chris Miller stated, “During school hours you just don’t have the time to finish and you can work at your own pace after school.” Sophomore Tammy Breedon explained, “I can con- centrate better alone and with quiet. Finished! Four months of overtime resulted in a color-coded school map printed by Michie Izquierdo, Beth Aker, and Sindy Chavez. Required work was not al- ways what kept students after school. There were other volun- tary reasons, such as, catching up on computer math and tech- nical drawing, getting ahead on that term paper for English or History, perfecting that chem- istry experiment, or helping to put up a showcase. Extra work time was often re- quested by students to make up work or to improve grades. Freshman Karla Jones, staying after for Algebra, said, “I didn’t understand and the teacher ex- plains better after school be- cause you're by yourself.” Ju- nior Michelle Paley, working on Oilice, Tech=commented, =I stay to catch up from missed school ... I don’t want a zero.” The map of the school, on the wall across from the office, was a special project undertaken by three art students, Freshmen Beth Aker and Sindy Chavez and Junior Michie Izquierdo. The idea originated with art teacher, Mr. Everett Butler, when he saw the new wall added to the building. The map and its color-coded key indicating specific areas, was intended to help people find their way around the school. The project took four months (September-January) and two to three hours a day, to com- plete. When asked why they took on such a large task, the girls agreed that it was for the enjoy- ment. Michie added, “The idea of painting something that will last years and that many people will see, it kind of got to me, too.” If Murphy’s Law applied to this project, something usually goes wrong. There was no ex- ception to these girls. Sindy Chavez said, “Sometimes we couldn't get the right colors or we didn’t have enough paint, or one of us couldn’t stay after school.” Many students, faculty and staff appreciated their efforts. “Mrs. Fisher, the custodian, stopped by everyday to look at it and would say, ‘it’s looking good’,” recalled Beth Aker. Judge: You have presented a very convincing case for staying after hours. Jury, how do you find the defendants? Jury: Your honor, we find the defendants sane and academi- cally competent! om) Straight Lines.

After Hours 29 Exchange Means Change Visiting students from other lands find new and remem- bered interests in the U.S. Geovanni Barakat enjoys rock music that is popular here and in El Salvador. A re American girls pretty? Geovanni Barakat of El Salva- dorgexclaimeds sy cs ether blonde hair and blue eyes 1s very different from the black hair and brown eyes of girls in my country. Geovanni, an 18 year old stu- dent from the city of San Salva- dor, came to visit the U.S. for a year in the summer of 83. His main purpose for coming to stay with his uncle in America was “to learn English.” The interna- tional language. ““My father said, “The best way to learn English is to go to America,’ ex- plained Geovanni.” Although he found the work difficult due to the language barrier, Geo- vanni really liked attending MBK and specifically liked the people. “People like Mrs. Rog- ers, the Guidance Secretary and my teachers Mr. Kane and Mr. Cathers are very kind to me 30 Exchange Students I have not met a lot of friends because people are afraid to talk to me since my English isn’t that great,” he re- flected. Both in El Salvador and in the U.S. Geovanni enjoyed the music of the Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, AC DC, Oli- via Newton John and Pat Bena- tar. The punk and new wave fads raging in the U.S. were also popular in the modern cap- ital city of San Salvador. For fun, teenagers in El Salvador have “parties in the homes and dance to Michael Jackson. “Geovanni sounded like an All- American teenager when he said his favorite foods were “hotdogs, french fries, coke, and Big Mac’s.” Geovanni explained that there was no drinking age in San Salvador. The driving age was 16 years old(if you paid $1000) or waiting until 18 years old. The behind the wheel courses were not required as in the U.S. people learned to drive from their parents or friends. Although Geovanni found the U.S. friendly, as an only child expressed he missed his family and looked forward to being together with them. S hu-Yin Shih, Su-Jung Shih, and Shu-Yi Shih, better known as Pacy, Peggy and Jen- ny were three sisters that came to explore the United States from Taiwan. Peggy, 19, Pacy, 18 and Jen- ny, 17, agreed that the biggest difference between the U.S. and Taiwanese educational sys- tem was that the children were in school primarily to study. The emphasis was on “school as a place for learning, not as a place for meeting boyfriends and having parties,” related Peggy, who spoke for the sis- ters: Learning English was the main reason they came to the US. Peggy remarked. a We wanted to understand the American way of life better.” According to these Taiwan- escestudents on Lném Us Saestue dents have more freedom and school work was much easier.” To Taiwanese teenagers, drink- ing wasnt important. There- - fore, there was not a need for organizations to help alcoholics in Taiwan. In order to obtain a driving permit in Taiwan, an exam and a road test after your 18th birthday were required. Fitting in with American people was not easy for Peggy, Pacy and Jenny. Peggy said, “It took my sisters and I almost a year to adjust.” During their stay, the girls lived with their relatives but they will return to Taiwan after college. Even though they noticed there was a large cultural gap between the two countries, Peg- gy felt that “we will go home knowing what it is like to be “Westernized’.” A ll in favor of more parties should have gone home with Al- berto Baboun, an exchange stu- dent from Chile. Alberto found life in America was almost per- fect, with one excepirom “Americans need to have more parties, in Chile, there are par- ties every weekend and they are always ‘smashin’” Alberto stat- ed. Alberto was visiting the United States during the sum- mer break and staying with host family, Mr. and Mrs. Walsh. While in the United States Al- berto had explored Williams- burg, Dansville, Washington D.C., and Massanutten where he enjoyed skiing. Academically, Alberto thought that his school in Chile was more advanced. His school Su-Jung Shih continues the musical career that she began in Taiwan. had a greater number of com- puters and science lab equip- ment for their students. Chilean students have ten classes a day each 45 minutes long with two breaks one 45 minutes and the other 20 minutes. American fads, clothing and attitudes were similar to Chi- leans, but Alberto preferred the “American look” in girls better. In Chile, learners permits were not required, but they must be 18 years old to get their li- censes. Alberto told us, “You learn to drive with your father or older brother, nobody goes to driving school.” The only offi- cial requirement was a driving exam. Heavy drinking was very uncommon in Chile because there was no age restriction, but it is also uncommon to drink and drive. Even though the United States was not perfect, upon re- turning to Chile, Alberto’s memories of new friends, places, customs, and ideas will be perfectly cherished. Alberto Baboun tells Stephanie Seay that he prefers the “American look in girls.” places of interest in the U.S. and attend our school. While here Carsten spent half of his school day at the Chesterfield Technical Center studying Electronics II. When asked what he liked best about America, Carsten replied, “It’s hard to say, I like America just how it is, all very much, especially American girls. Some are nice and some are beautiful!” Like other stu- dents, Carsten’s favorite food during his stay was pizza. Carsten Meier relates to Kelly Aldridge that changing classes is more appealing. Wrat do American girls, pizza and moving from class- room to classroom have in com- mon? They are all qualities of the United States that made German exchange student Car- sten Meier want to stay longer than his scheduled ten weeks Visit. Carsten found himself very much at home with the family of sophomore Barry Tyler. He was born and raised in Buxten- hude-Hendendon, Germany where he was selected by the Ameruop Cultural Relations Fellowship Program to visit Carsten found the American school-day routine much more appealing than his schedule in Germany. Rather than chang- ing classes, Carsten remains in one classroom with the excep- tion of gym. Unlike most American students who drive to school, German students, like Carsten take the public trans- portation system. All in all, Carsten found life in America similar to that in his own country. He stated, “The people are basically the same, it’s just that they do things dif- ferently.” C loverleaf Mall, Putt-Putt and Midlothian Cinema were not only favorite escapes for American teenagers from the pressures of parents, teachers, and school work. Marlene Mol- davan, and exchange student from Sweden found these places pretty “hot” herself. She spent her weekends with her new American friends at these hang-outs. However, Marlene expressed how in Swe- den, People go out more to dis- co's and clubs, but you have to be 21 to get in. “She continued that she looked forward to reaching this age. In order to come to the US., she had to call the American Scandinavian Student Agency to make arrangements. She de- cided to visit, “Because I want- ed to improve my English and | also wanted to learn more about your country. I guess the best way to do that is to live in an American family,” Marlene ex- plained. Although she was placed in the Senior class here, in Sweden she has already graduated. In her school, they were allowed to leave school during the day, Marlene said, ““We have what you call, open campus.” In ad- dition, lunch was provided free for students. The driving age was 18 in Sweden and it was expensive to get a driver’s license. It cost $12 to $14 for a forty minute driving lesson and 15 to 20 lessons are required. According to Marlene, the most popular sports in Sweden were soccer, ice hockey, bas- ketball and track, but “sports are not in the schools.” Marlene’s visit to the U.S. was an enjoyable escape from the pressures of parents, teach- ers, and school work in Swe- den. When she retur ns home she will be able to say that American and Swedish teen- agers have a great deal in com- mon. Marlene Moldayan receives help from Mrs. Rita Root on triming her photo.

The symptoms were everywhere. Decorated halls, festive floats, ele- gant Homecoming Princesses, and dancing feet spread a fever of ex- citement thru the veins of the stu- dent body. The hidden football contest kicked off spirit week, on Monday. Competition between the classes was stiff but the Freshmen proved to be the best detectives by uncov- ering the most footballs and cap- turing four points. Tuesday’s brisk fall breezes did not discourage students from deck- ing out in their bathing suits, shorts, and sandals to participate in beach day. Riding the crest of a four point wave, the Seniors rolled into shore with the largest number of beach-goers. Bustin’ Loose.

Seniority reigned again when the Senior’s took hall honors adding four more spirit points to their total. On Thursday, spirits were dampened when the bonfire was rained out, but students’ hopes rose to a peak for Friday’s activities. Finally the day arrived. There was a feeling of excitement that lingered in the halls. The tradition of an outside pep-rally was changed when the festivities were brought inside. Students swarmed through the gym doors with noise- makers and signs.

All fell silent when the winners of the spir- it chain and the spirit stick were to be announced. The Seniors walked off with a victory in both categor- ies. By 7:00 p.m., the football stands were jam packed with anxious fans. As the Marching Band led in the parade of elaborately decorat- ed trucks and sport’s cars carrying the princesses, their faint strains of “Blinded me with Science” got louder and louder.

From the first snap of the ball, the awesome Monarchs showed their superb football ability to the Colonial Heights Colonials, scoring on the kick-off in the first ten seconds. This put the fans in high hopes of victory. At halftime, the Monarchs were ahead by 27 points. Once again the fans got another look at the floats and princesses. As each float passed by, the coun- cil of five faculty judges scrutini- zed each one carefully.

Three hundred fifty people were dressed in Sunday attire and “‘boo- gied down” from eight o’clock to midnight. Recuperating from the Home- coming disease was not easy.

Homecoming 37 Up in the Stands hether it was sitting in the bleachers or playing down on the field floor or shouting directions from the side- lined, there was lively interaction between fans, athletes, and coaches. Fans were “people that came out to keep the team’s spirits up,” according to 600 fans who were randomly selected and surveyed. When asked: “Which sport do you go to the most?” 50% of the people answered “football”: 40% said “Basketball”. the remainder were divided among baseball, soccer, track, gymnastics, softball, and wrestling. Field hockey, track. golf, and wrestling were among the list of sports that were hardly ever watched. When asked why, select- ed fans stated, “These sports are boring, or “They re not spectator sports. | When asked “the action” really was” B-O-R-I-N-G.

And they keep you going when you win. Concerning football, Scott Le- Grand explained, “Fan support could be the difference in winning or losing. If the crowd is at the game, they can help swing the mo- mentum to our side by getting row- dy.” This can turn a game around. For some athletes, fan support was the key to feeling “the thrill of vic- tory.” As Heth Dillon noted, “If the fans are not there, the hunger for victory is not as strong.’ Bas- ketball player, Vance Fuller re- torted, “Yes, the more support we have, the higher our confidence level is. On a personal level, fan support played a big part in most athletes’ performances. Basketball player and runner Margo Watkins said, ‘‘T perform better when there are some people rooting for me.” Steve Neal agreed, “For me, fan support brings better performance. But fan support wasnt the only thing necessary for winning. When playing field hockey and throwing the shot-put, Nicole Long ana- lyzed, “I try not to think about the fans or anything, other than the game when I’m playing ... You can’t let the fans affect the way you play.” Whether fan support was a ma- jor or minor consideration to team morale, to winning or losing and to personal performance, most ath- the Stands (cont'd) letes thought fans were an essen- tial part of sports. Varsity basket- ball and softball athlete, Chris Hudson summarized, “Hey, what’s a game without the fans; they make the ball game com- plete Varsity cheerleader [Theresa Campbell exclaimed, “Fan sup- port really affects the players. Many times the best games are when the gym is packed with peo- ple cheering for you and not against you!” Both sponsors agreed that fan support affected them personally.

Many things have affected the popularity of music in °84. What was in this week, may be out the next. As far as radio sta- tions, XL-102 remained on top with the “less top forty,” while Q-94’s “top forty” was a close second. The groups that topped the charts were Van Halen, Duran Duran, and Def Leppard! Van Halen, for their impressive come back with “Jump’’, Duran Duran for their unique sound and Def Leppard for their repu- tation as a heavy metal band. Another big item that hit America was the “new wave” sound and the latest dance craze, breakdancing. “Love is a Battlefield’ helped Pat Benatar to win the favorite female singer for a sec- ond time. Her raspy voice and provocation stage outfits con- tinued to promote her image as a “Singing Siren.” The music world stood by in awe as Michael Jackson won a record breaking grammy awards, for his “thrilling” tal- ents. The Album of the year was Van Halen’s “1984” with “Jump” as its hit single. Looking over the parking lot, compact economy cars to four- wheelers lined the rows. The most coveted set of wheels was the Corvette with the Mustang, following close behind. These cars and many others drove stu- dents to the Cellar Door, Putt- Putt, and other popular local hang-outs. New sayings popped up from nowhere and once a few people started repeating them, every- one else caught on too. This years biggest sayings were Pwonere s the beet?’ and “what’s the deal?” Everywhere you looked the “new wave’ craze dominated the scene with a multitude of shapes and colors in hair and clothing. Spiked hair, graffetti buttons, mismatched checks and plaids made a radical state- ment of individuality. As the flow of the ocean nev- er stops, the influx of new trends continues to sweep over the prevailing fads.

Food was a good target for venting frustra- tions of some discontended stu- dents, but provided enough fuel to finish off the day. Pizza was the most controversial item on the school menu. Interest- ingly enough, it headed both the most and least liked lists. Spa- ghetti, french fries, “junk food” (fruit pies, big wheels, pudding pops, or donuts) and NOTHING were the Favorites. Making up the least liked list topped by pizza, were burgers, spaghetti, french fries and soup. Many items appeared on both lists. You couldn't please all of the peo- ple all of the time! Over 50% found time to eat their lunches and mingled with their friends, 25% just ate lunch and 20% just mingled. The most favor- ite mingling place was the cafete- ria, followed close by the hallway and smoking area. Some under- classmen even tried to camouflage themselves in the courtyard, so as not to be noticed for their “illegal entry.” When it came to eating a full lunch or just snacking, snacking took the cake. Approximately, 40% ate a whole lunch, while one person said “I eat two lunches.” Ten people said they they ate a lunch and a snack. The most controversial issue concerning lunch was the subject of the courtyard. Should the un- derclassmen be allowed to go out into the sunshine with the seniors during lunch? Most seniors were very strongly opposed to equal courtyard privi- leges. One senior’s statement summed up the general feeling, ‘Seniors should have the prilivege because it’s our last year and it gives us time to be together.” The rest of the student body had its own ideas. The biggest under- class complaint was the heat and crowded conditions in the cafete- ria, especially in warmer weather. A freshman commented, “After spending the whole day in the classroom, it would be nice to go outside for 10 minutes. Although underclassmen were allowed in the smoking area during lunch, this was not enough for some of them. As several people explained, a pass was necessary to go there (smoking area).

The apathetic attitude was re- presented in a junior’s remark, “It’s not a big deal, I don’t care if we go out there or not.” ““A sopho- more generalized by reflecting, “They (the seniors) deserve more privileges, but we deserve some too.” Several suggestions were made about where the underclass should go during lunch. When underclass were asked, there were few su- prises. It was emphatically felt that the seniors should share the courtyard. One junior recom- mended that a student lounge could be built, or even an alternate courtyard for underclass. On the other hand, seniors were as ada- mant about their opinion, “Under- class should stay where they be- long, inthe cafeteria.” The aver- age amount of money spent for lunch was $.75 to a $1.00. 75% bought their own lunches, while 10% were human parasites who mooched off their friends and nev- er paid any money out of their own pockets. Many people preferred to munch on snacks and share their friends’ food, creating a smorges- bord. To add variety to the school menu, an assortment of serious and bizarre “specials” were sug- gested. How about steak or filet mignon, with a baked potato to ac- Centsthe entree?!’ The elite were partial to shrimp and lobster.

In a moment of magic, Chris Craig captures the atten- tion of each contestant as he sings the theme song. Star Light, ourteen stars, reflecting wide smiles and exciting talent, were out on the evening of March 23rd, but only one would shine the brightest. After long weeks of hard work and hours of prep- aration, the Miss Meadowbrook Pageant was ready to go on. Expectations were high. Tonight, one of the chosen fourteen girls would be crowned Miss Meadowbrook 1984. Robert Spain, S.C.A. President and Robin Ra- kestraw, 1984 Homecoming Queen, commenced with the traditional introductions of the contes- tants and their escorts. Introductions were made while past and present members of the Jazz Lab Rhythm Section played delightful backround music. The escorts added to the evening’s glam- our when they modeled their tuxedos from Mit- chell’s Formal Wear located in Cloverleaf Mall. In a routine done to Billy Joel’s recent hit sin- gle, “Uptown Girl,” the contestants showed off their style and class by modeling the latest fash- ions and by posing for Chris Miller, a would be fashion photographer. Debbie Fuller, Miss Meadowbrook 1983, made a guest appearance expressing the honor she felt bearing this title and her success in her career goals. To complete the evening, local ce- lebrities, ranging from a formal Miss MBK, toa local actor, to a Brigadier General judged the performance of the contestants. The “Flashdance” craze was evident in the routines of seven individuals’ talent. Classical music was represented by a piano solo and flute solo, in addition to a dramatic reading and a in- terpretative puppet. Talent wasn’t confined to fourteen young ladies. Dwayne Courton and Bob- by Barker delighted the audience by the demon- Star Bright stration of break-dancing, the newest dance fad. They spun on their heads and backs to Herbie Hancock’s “Interlock Pop.” Proud parents, congratulating contestants, and an appreciative audience heralded the presenta- tion of the six finalist. When asked what it would be like to visit a foreign country and what would they say to friends made there about America, each of the six finalists expressed that they would first mention our freedom and democratic gov- ernment. One contestant said that she would “‘use my hands alot” to get her point across. Freshman Chris Craig sang the pageant theme, “One in a Million You” in a deep throaty voice, which brought forth spontanous applause from the au- dience and earned him a kiss from the last fina- list. At the dramatic moment, the audience hushed taken away by the magic of the evening. The drumroll announcing the winners broke the still- ness. Tina Gurkin was titled first runner up and Susan Hanks was voted Miss Congenality. When Susan was called back to be crowned Miss Mea- dowbrook by Mr. Kent Walker, she exclaimed, “I was very shocked, happy, as if I was in a dream.” In a survey given to the contestants on the day of the pageant five girls chose Susan Hanks as the winner. As Mary Sobert predicted, “I hope Susan Hanks will win... she has been especially helpful to the others with her suggestions and encourage- ment.” As cameras clicked and applause thundered, the glow of fourteen stars illuminated the audito- rium with the feeling that “Everyone was a win- ner.

I’m calling to find out how much it costs to rent a room for a high school prom.” This was one of the many inquiries made by Junior Class President Mar- garet Wirt in preparation for the Junior-Senior Prom. Much careful preparation and hours of organizing were nec- essary to get the prom rolling. The Junior Class sponsored various activities to raise the $4000 needed to produce the prom. Fundraisers included the Powder Puff football game, dances, flower sales, raffles and bake sales. The main problem encoun- tered with raising money was the lack of participation and interest by members of the Ju- nior Class. Most of the work was done by the Junior Class officers with the assistance of Junior Class Sponsors Ms. Al- ice Harding and Mrs. Barbara Bowles. Special help with col- lecting dues came from Mrs. Linda Rusher. Ms. Harding stated, “Apathy among the students was a very real prob- lem. We needed all the juniors to participate in our fun- draisers; only a core handful did the work. But all enjoyed the benefits!”’ Despite the problems, the juniors came through with the money to produce an elaborate and ele- gant prom. On the evening of May 4th, three hundred couples readied themselves for a memorable evening. The first item on the agenda was the problem of where to go for dinner. Choices ranged from elegant dining in the Assembly Room to a romantic candle-light din- ner served at home. Some prom-goers chose to skip the meal and save their money for other things. Junior Pam Tay- lor remarked, ‘“We decided to save money that would be used for an expensive dinner and go to King’s Dominion the next day.” In the elegant Virginia Room of the John Marshall Hotel, soft lighting created by impressive chandeliers and candlelight set a romantic at- mosphere for the prom. The girls wore long gowns, and the Romance. Dorse Taylor and Cindy Bissette retreat into their own world as they dance to “Hello” by Lionel Richie. A little advice.

They waited patiently in long lines for photographer Gwen Prideaux to capture and pre- serve this once-in-a-lifetime event. The couples danced to the sounds of the band Krakayax. The dance floor was crowded with bodies swaying to the sounds of the top 40. The theme was “Just You and I,” and that was the feeling of many couples. An important event was the gathering of the Senior Figure honoring those students who had made distinctive contri- butions to the school. From this impressive group, the King and Queen were chosen. Vicki Ellis was crowned queen, and Bruce Sadler was presented with the king’s sceptre. When asked how they felt about being selected, they both agreed that it was a spe- cial honor to be chosen by their peers. As the evening drew to a close, the elegant ballroom of the John Marshall emptied slowly, and footsteps echoed down the hall. It was hard to believe that an event which had required weeks and weeks of planning could pass by so quickly. President Margaret Wirt said, “I feel the prom was a success because every- one seemed to be having a great time and after the prom, | received numerous compli- ments on its success from par- ents, teachers, and students alike.” What a Night!

These last few days would be the final time spent with friends. Graduation, June 12, would bring a glorious and long awaited climax to “the greatest years of their lives.” Slave Day was first in the line-up of events. For the underclassmen, better known as “the vic- tims’, it meant finding any and every available hiding place. All Seniors were out to prove that they were “the bosses’. Dog collars, penny push- ing and little red wagons were nothing unexpect- ed. ‘“‘The victims” all abided ‘‘willingly” of course, keeping in mind that their day for revenge would soon arrive. Next up, was the Air Bands Competition. Def Leppard — Mike Closter, Jim Herrin, Tommy Lloyd, Rob Mason and Jackie Nashette jammed the audience with “Photograph”. Sounds of the Pointer Sisters — Marion Hairfield, Susan Hanks, Karen Rice and Karen Rice singing “Automatic”, awed the crowd. Van Halen — Bobby Lawrence, Mike Balser, Tommy Lloyd and Pat Porter shook the stage with their presen- tation of “Everybody Wants Some”. And the winner is ... Quiet Riot. Kirk Phillips, Walter Brockwell, Mike Louth and Pat Porter rocked the gym with the song “Bang Your Head” winning the competition. On Wednesday, Seniors came prepared with their grills and coolers for the Senior Picnic — what a letdown, all they got was “rain on their parade”. Thursday came and after waiting for Mr. Walker’s verdict, the picnic was held on the front lawn. At 11:30 all Seniors ran madly to their cars. Amidst the steaks grilling, music blasting from stereos, all on different stations, frisbees flying wildly thru the air and chicken fights, even staring class sponsor, Dolly Apessos, the Senior Picnic was a big smash. A mass of delighted Seniors ate, drank and toasted their high school years. “Giddy-up!” Senior Class Sponsor, Dolly Apessos and Bobby Lawrence prepare to engage in a chicken fight. It’s Spiderman!

Breakin’ Out (cont'd) Senior week came to an end on Friday with Class Night where Seniors were recognized for their achievements. Jackie Fields shared her mu- sic, “We've Only Just Begun” and “‘The Greatest Love of All” asa special farewell and a slide show prepared by Teri Gravitte and John Redmond brought special memories and a few tears to the eyes of some Seniors. On Tuesday morning, June 12, the Seniors gathered on the front lawn for their Senior Class portrait. Later that day they were honored at a Senior Reception. Mrs. Linda Davidson, along with fifty teachers, organized the event. Seniors and their parents enjoyed delicacies of pineap- ple almond dip, fancy mints and sherbert punch provided by faculty members. Mrs. Davidson felt, “It was a nice thing that we, the teachers, do for the Seniors and their parents.’” However, she added, “We wished more Seniors had attended.” The Seniors left the reception knowing that in just a few more hours, their last days of high school would come to an end.

Seniors’ Last Days 59 A Whole New Outlook 9 “Welcome graduates!’ Salutatori- an, Conor Shiel gives the welcoming address at graduation to the seniors, their families and friends. H.... their exams behind them, the class of ’84 was both elated and sad that their high school days were now history. On June 10, at 2:00 P.M., families and friends filed into the Southside Church of the Nazarene as 213 seniors met for the annual Senior Bacca- laureate. After the invocation, delivered by Reverend C. L. Thompson, the upcoming graduates listened attentively to Reverend Cecil Chambers’ sermon. Reverend Chambers pointed out that the gradu- ates needed to understand themselves so that they could contribute to solving the world’s problems. After Reverend Chambers’ speech, the seniors left with a feeling that they were one step closer to finally graduating. Senior sponsor, Mrs. Dolly Apessos thought that advising the Senior Class was very satisfy- ing. She commented, “It was a chance to work with the students outside of a classroom atmo- sphere. I really got to know them.” Senior Class President, Vicki Ellis explained why the class gift was a marquee, “We felt that the community needed it to be informed of school events.” As the school band played the traditional Pomp and Circumstance throughout the Mack D. Moore Memorial Stadium on June 12, 8:00 P.M., 264 anxious seniors marched to their seats. Reverend Von Meysenberg began the ceremo- ny with his invocation calling upon the Lord to help the seniors make wise decisions. After Salu- tatorian, Conor Shiel’s welcoming words, Stuart Up, up and away. After the Senior Class was officially declared the graduates of °84, the Junior Class sent balloons upward, symbolizing the futures of the graduates. Congratulations! Principal, Kent Walker presents newly declared graduate Ty Huband with his diplo- ma. Prayers finally answered. Senior, Bobby Lawrence spells relief A-M- E-N now that his high school days are Over. Brumfield gave his Valedictorian speech. In his message to the senio rs, Stuart leaned on three main points. He encouraged the students to get involved in life and not to be afraid of failure. He reassured the seniors that their participation in school activities had increased the status of the school. Stuart concluded by telling the graduates, “In the future we must continue to be what we have always been in the past — Winners.” Next the scholarship awards were presented. Beverly Wiggins was awarded the Mack D. Moore Memorial Scholarship and Thuyloan Vo received the Faculty Scholarship. After the presentation of the scholarships, Vicki Ellis introduced the guest speaker, Mr. Larry Buchanan, Principal of Midlothian Middle School. Mr. Buchanan advised the Class of 84 to set high goals and if they were not reached, then he suggested that they readjust them. He sur- mised, ‘‘Even if you do not reach those goals, you have not failed as long as you gave your best.” With the help of Assistant Principals Donald Kelly and Wayne Wilson, Principal Kent Walker presented the diplomas to the seniors, officially making them graduates of 1984. Having their diplomas in hand, graduates mixed festivity with dignity. Some wept or hugged friends in joy while others threw their caps in the air. As Principal Walker announced the moving of the tassels signifying their entrance into the adult world, colorful balloons were re- leased and floated upward. So went the futures of the graduates of the class of °84. ‘Be all that you can be!” Former Principal of Meadowbrook, Larry Buchanan delivers this positive message as the Keynote speaker at graduation. 60 Graduation “It’s all yours.” Graduate Teri Corder receives her diploma, a symbol of passage into the adult world, from Principal Walk- er.

Karen Rice wipes away a tear as she and her class- mates Sandra Penny, Mary Sobert, Christy Talley, Kathy Walker, Su- san Hanks and others share a feeling of nostalgia for their high school days.

Junior Varsity Cheerleaders soared to new heights not only by moving competition but by adding two males to an other- wise all female squad. Sopho- mores Heth Dillon and Glen Magee created an extra spark by lifting and catching the girls during routines. ““They devoted just as much time,” remarked Sharon Spencer. “We took a lot of kidding from our friends, at first, but after they saw what we could do, they let off,” con- firmed Glenn Magee. In the middle of the year J.V. received a full-time sponsor, Mrs. Gloria Blake. She commented, “‘At first, it was a little awkward taking over in the middle of the season, but each girl in her own individual way made it easier for me. I did feel a part of the squad.” During football and basket- ball seasons, the squad had to cheer from two to five nights a week.

Missy Floyd com- mented, “It was fun leading 12 girls, but it was hard at times. It was fun because everyone liked to dance, and it was hard when we made up routines.” At their first performance at Freshmen Orientation, the 14 girls were anxious to make a good impression. As Tawni Newman stated, “It was my most nervous performance, | guess it was because it was our first performance and we want- ed to do our best.”” The Monar- ettes danced to “The Woman In You” as Drum Major Alan Baird assisted the girls in dance stunts.

In total they raised $375 to defray expenses. When asked to evaluate their overall performance, Sponsor Mrs. Betty Boggs, said, “Out- standing! They were a good group of girls.

As the clock went down to 6 seconds Jon Bolser kicked the winning field goal for a 10 to 7 victory over Manchester.

Bird and Manches- n a cold Wednesday evening on September 2lst, while the skies poured down buckets of rain on the football field, the J.V. Monarchs poured on pails of power over the Bird Skyhawks. A soggy and slip- pery field did not hamper the football players’ skills nor dam- pen their spirits. The 6-0 win over Bird gave them confidence and determination to fight on. The J.V. football team was on the rise under Head Coach Ron Tuzzo and Assistant Couch Mike Paley. The team showed a winning attitude, great sportsmanship, and team coordination. According to Coach Tuzzo, “The guys had a positive attitude and worked hard every day.’ Captain Donny Morgan agreed, “I think we accomplished having a good attitude on the field and being good sportsmen.” After the first two loses to Varina and Clover Hill, the J.V.

On the playing field and in her personal life, Coach Kim Hall faced two challenges this fall: training seven novice inex- perienced field hockey players and changing from a single toa married woman made it a hec- tic season. In her second year as head coach, Kim (Hall) Roof accomplished the only two wins out of the eight games after she became Mrs. Ronnie Roof. She jokingly accepted the team slo- gan, “We'll win it for Roof but not for Hall.” According to Coach Roof, this field hockey team present- ed a unique situation, as she stated, “I have never had to start out with as many inexperi- enced girls and help them to be- come skilled players by the end of the season.” ‘“ ‘Winning wasn t everything,” As she pointed out, “the girls had fun ‘‘Winning wasn’t ey- erything, the girls had fun and they improved from day to day, as a coach that’s all I could ask.” and they improved from day to day. as a coach that’s all I could Sku With the help of eight return- ing players, the game of field hockey became a little more un- derstanding to the newcomers. First year player Stacey Shel- burne stated, “as a new player | felt out of place but then as the season progressed and with the ielp of former players, I started to feel more comfortable.” The season rode like a roller coaster with its ups and downs. Kirsy Keller commented on one of the high points, “We came so close to winning in over time, lor example against Manches- ler, We went into sudden death with the score ending — in their favor.

For 14 golfers, it was a little of both of these images that beckoned them to the mad- ness of chasing that little white ball. The golf team consisted of eight returning golfers and sev- en newcomers; six sophomores, five juniors, three freshmen and one senior. The only female re- presentative on the team was Freshman, Monica Hudgins. Monica reflected on being the only girl on the team, “Golf to me is pretty much a sport that is good for both males and fe- males.” Matt Holland felt that having a girl on the team, “was no different all the guys treated her equally.” Sophomore, Rodney Ridout, MVP, fifth in the District and mane S (8 O REE Samm Golf Meadowbrook Opponent 172-170-194 Clover Hill — Varina WO-164-l63eus,.Go Bird — Manchester Godwin Midlothian Thomas Dale Colonial 177-154-173 169-157-181] Heights 2-6-0 Tongue in cheek.

According to Coach Sutton, “The leadership of the seniors played an important role as they proved the many hours of hard work were not in vain.” Those seniors providing leader- ship were Robert Spain, Bruce Sadler, Greg Rawls, Vance Fuller, and Anthony Drake- ford. Co-captain, Robert Spain led the team in scoring, re- bounding, field goal and free throw percentage, as well as placing All-District, All-Re- gional and All-Metro. He was the first in the history of the Do- minion District to make first team All-Metro. When he was chosen Player of the Week by Channel 6 and The Richmon Newsleader, he exclaimed, “‘It felt great! I finally realized that all my hard work during the summer was finally beginning to pay off.” Bruce Sadler also proved valuable. He was second lead- ing scorer and rebounder, as well as, the most versatile play- er. In evaluating the overall per- formance of the team he ana- lyzed. “T thought we played very well as a team. We were very bal- anced, each player had his role which allowed many to get playing time.” The team also consisted of many youthful players. Junior Chris Mund provided power under the boards until an ankle injury sidelined him in a home game against Manchester. At various points in the season, a freshman, Mike Tiller and two sophomores, Tony Glassco and Tom Hall, started the game. Coach Sutton summed up by stating, “These young men have turned our basketball program from District doormats to pe- rennial contenders at the top of the District.” Boys’ Varsity Basketball 89 Surviving Tuzzo’s Torture earts begin pumping as each competitor steps onto the mat. The whistle blows and he finds himself in moves that are absolutely impossible to get out of, but somehow he finds the in- ner strength to throw ina rever- sal and he’s back on top once again. It was a season packed full of new experiences and great achievements. The wrestling team was a youthful group, but this didn’t stop them. Individual contributions were made on and off the mat. Standing out in the center of the circle before the crowd was the 98 pound beginner, James Bell who had a great season with a 13-5 record. Bell ranked 3rd in Regionals, 2nd in Districts, and went on to State which was quite a feat for such a new comer. There were many exciting matches. John Nunn recalled his most exciting match as that He’s mine now.

Jim Herrin believed that upsetting the peanut districts third seed in Regionals was his most exciting match, because he was so highly seeded in his peanut district. Some interesting events took place throughout the season such as placing three wrestlers, Brad Anderson, James Bell, and Bryan Sapp in the finals at Districts and ending with An- derson and Bell going on to State. Both Bryan Sapp and Todd Hallinan had a great deal to do with exciting moments. Everytime they stepped on the mat they captivated the audi- ence. Sapp showed that he could be the unlimited wrestler and still have speed. He cap- tured Ist in Districts. Hallinan had it rough. He had a tough weight class but he never gave up.

All three captains agreed that the coaching was a major plus. “Coach Tuzzo is one of the few coaches I’ve had who will not only teach but participate and have a sense of humor through it all,” reflected John Nunn. Jim Herrin agreed, ‘We had a coach who cared and who had pride in us no matter how we did.” Coach Ron Tuzzo was an inspi- ration to the team. He initiated the idea of team T-shirts with the slogan “I Survived Tuzzo’s Third Row: Kelly McNutt (Manager), Michelle Paley, Danny Grinnel, Heth Dillon, Steve Neal, Neal Knight, Mark Thurston, Allen Misegades, Michelle Byrd (Manager).

Most Valuable Player Brad An- derson explained, “Our coach was not only easy to get along with but he really understood his team.” Coach Tuzzo re- plied, “This season I not only developed 25 wrestlers, but I made 25 friends that made the season very enjoyable. As a whole the season was very good. There were a lot of lower weight classes and first year wrestlers filling in the var- sity positions and they did ex- ceptionally well considering their inexperience. As the season came to an end hearts began slowing down. The minutes on the mat came to a fold.

Indoor Track started two years ago so that the serious track athlete could get in a sea- son prior to outdoor track. Run- ner Mark Cooper reflected, “Indoor running keeps the cross country and spring track ath- lete in shape for the outdoors.” Margo Watkins added, “As a long jumper, indoor track keeps me going so I don’t get inactive and lazy.” They competed in the William and Mary Indoor meet, the Jefferson-Hun- gounot-Wythe relays, and the East Coast Invitational Meet, as well as an informal meet at Clover Hill High School. Since at AA level, indoor track was not a team sport, there was no record but Margo Watkins and Robert Dortch both did outstanding as individ- uals. At the East Coast Invita- tional Meet, Robert came from behind to win the Hurdle final and was invited to run the next night with some of the higher “Indoor running keeps the cross country and spring track athlete in Shape for the out- doors.” ranked athletes in which he fin- ished third.

Unknown to many, the girls’ tennis team racked up eight wins and smashed their way into second in the Domin- ion Districts. “It was disappointing to play so well and not to have the rest of the school know it.” Unfortunately, their grand slam season went unnoticed by most of their peers. As Kirsy Keller commented, “It was dis- appointing to play so well and not to have the rest of the school know it.” Beating Mills Godwin and Clover Hill was a first for the tennis team and added a dash of spice to their best season ever. Maintaining a 7-0 record be- fore losing to Midlothian was a highlight in itself. But losing to the boys’ tennis team in a chal- lenge match was an embarrass- ing moment for the girls. First year Coach, Ms. Thel- ma Loehr, evaluated the year, “The girls had an excellent sea- son. Everyone played well and all of the girls had an attitude of wanting to win and were willing to work hard to obtain this goal.” “Oh my gosh!” Ina home match against Colonial Heights, Kirsy Keller anxious- ly awaits for the ball to hit back to her Colonial opponent. Girls’ Tennis 97 The Net Results he boys’ tennis team un- derwent several changes — a new coach and a new attitude. Coach Penny Stephens helped to bring a new outlook to this spring sport previously plagued with disappointing seasons. The team ended the season with a 3-7 record which proved to be the best in three years and landed them in 7th place. The attitudes about the team and about themselves shifted from that of losers to that of winners. The season’s highpoints were disabling Bird 7-2, skinning Matoaca 5-4, and scalping Po- whatan 7-2. According to first year Coach Stephens, their most memorable match was against Matoaca. She recalled, ‘““Com- ing down to the last match in doubles against Matoaca was a scare, but we stuck it out and Vek Boys’ Tennis Front row: Bao Dao, Greg DeBruyn, A.J.

They finished the season 10-0, no losses for the second trium- phant year in a row. MVP was Margo Watkins. She made All-State and broke school records in the 100, 200 and long jump. As a team, Coach Dave Cathers was often heard commenting, “one person doesn’t make or break the team. The chain is only as strong as its weakest link.” Margo reflected, “We were team oriented. When we had trouble in the sprints, distance pulled us up; when dis- tance was the weakness we were stronger in the sprints. Every- one worked together.” The high points for the team were placing second at the Monacan relays (against AAA teams) for the second consecu- tive year, winning the Bird meet, and being regular season champs for the second year ina row. Marianne Newell, another large contributor who made it to the state meet, felt that, “at the Jefferson-Hugenot — Wythe invitational when I got my best time for the mile”, was the best part of her year.

Varsity Soccer Keep the Ball Rolling fter a grueling first half against Thomas Dale, the mighty monarchs raced onto the field and within the first 5 minutes into the second half Mat Burton scored the one and only winning goal against the undefeated Knights. Even though the record was 5-4 in the regular season (witha win over Petersburg and a lose to Hopewell in scrimmages), there were several high points such as this one for varsity soc- cer. An overwhelming majority of the players cited beating the two undefeated teams, Thomas Dale (1-0) and Manchester (2- 1) in overtime as triumphant moments. On the other hand, the loss to arch-rival Powhatan and the inability of the team to play up to its full potential were disappointing. Captain Scott Turlington sized up the perfor- mance of the Varsity Soccer team, “The problem was that as a team we only played as good as we had to. We always played on the other teams level with a few exceptions.” There was no MVP. As coach Kim Roof stated, ““We have 28 Most Valuables. In this sport, you can’t have a more impor- tant player because of the team work needed in order to score.” Another unusual first for soc- cer was having a freshman goal- ie on a varsity team. As Danny “We have 28 Most Valuables. In this sport, you can’t have a more important player because of the team work needed in order to score.” Townsend recalled, “I thought to myself, as a freshman, you know you have to be the best out phiercoe According to Coach Roof, the last two games of the season were filled with outstanding plays. “Alot of excellent pass- ing and one on one situations. In two games we scored 14 goals, 6 against Varina and 8 against Colonial Heights.” On a per- sonal note, team player Mat Burton commented, “The high point for me personally was Varsity Soccer Front Row: Scott Turlington, (Co-Capt), Second Row: Mat Burton, Kirk Higgenbotham, Mike Estes, Rick Disberger, Greg Moore, Tuan Trong, Third Row: Sheri Deets (Mgr.), Sohka Ran, Danny Townsend, George Disberger, Eric Lin, Tommy Kardos, Lorie Haynes (Mgr.)

New Kicks nnoticed, the J.V. Soc- cer team showed their ability with a record of 3-1-1, and a defeat over Petersburg in a scrimmage. On the soccer field, 11 guys and 3 girls played as equals. Cristie Leadbitter commented, ‘First they (the boys) were tim- id to bump us around and now, gosh, well, they trample us when they get the chance.” Two things that J.V. and Varsity shared were their victo- ries over Thomas Dale (3-0) and Manchester (7-0) as Scott Anderson commented, “The most exciting game was against Manchester because everyone said they were so good and we beat them (7-0)” With only one loss to Clover Hill (1-0) and a tie with Powha- Gut Response!

When asked what their responsibilities were, Sheri Deets remarked, “‘In managing Soccer you have to make sure the players get what they need, you have to try and make things easier for the coach and you have to keep track of the equipment and scores.” Lori Williams, one of the Varsity Boys Basketball Man- agers noted, ““We had to make sure uniforms were washed, equipment ready for games, floors done, clock set, and after the games, I had to call the TV stations and give them the score. Another Basketball Man- ager, Beth Holder commented on what she liked most about managing, “Well, I got into the games free, but seriously, being a part of the team was the best, and when the team won, it felt like we did too!” “Strung together!” Getting ready for a home game against Bird, Manager Warren Stemmons gathers the helmets together while Nessie DiMeo warms up. 112. Managers Coaches Field Hockey Manager, Stephanie Stewart explained why she decided to manage a sport, “I played my freshman year, I can’t play that well so I decided to manage to stay close to the sport.” Tammy Taylor, a wrestling Manager stated, “Going to dif- ferent schools and meeting new people,” was what she liked most about managing. An unusual position for two girls was that of athletic train- ers. In working with the football players, Theda Sauls comment- ed, “At first, it was hard for them to accept that girls could do the work, but later we be- came good friends.” Serving in the same capacity, Kim Newell analyzed the player manager relationship as, “one of trust”. “It was my responsibility to get the guys back on their feet,” she explained. When coaches and players ran on and off the field, they could rest assured that manag- ers and trainers were the first to arrive and the last to leave. “To the rescue!” Trainer, Kim Newell stoops to help quarterback Warren Brockwell with an injured ankle. “Don’t forget the ice?” Two softball Managers, Stephanie Stewart and Tammy Jones fulfill one of their many responsibilities. ‘Pin him!’ Wrestling Coach, Ron Tuzzo and Manager Michelle Paley watch a match against Manchester. “Pye got ‘em!’ Much of Lorie Haynes time as a Soccer Manager is spent re- trieving soccer balls. en « How to Negotiate with a Milttar on Rape and incest, ¢ Our Exclusive Report On 100 Outstanding US.

Nm The Roaring Twentieth — 4 ey ce ae 4 a a God “othe: A Se Ki “ p 82 — Seniors cheer on their classmates at the Spirit Spectacular. he beginning of Meadowbrook High School was a mere dream. The dream was transformed into reality as architects placed the plans on paper in the form of blueprints and drawings. From a haven of densely branched shrubs, men and ma- chines converted the plans into a building structure. Completion was neared during the sum- mer of 1964; yet, it was insignificant for just as the building — the dream was in- complete. Halls and classrooms were to be filled; and the auditorium awaited it’s first assem- bly; a faculty lounge was still unoccupied, and an office was yet to become the nerve center of the educational community. Then the school opened! On the first day, students made their way through the freshly painted hallways and newly buffed floors. Student enthusiasm was on the rise. The halls were filled, the library books were shelved, and the cafete- ria food was in preparation for the hungry students. As the first month passed, changes in the organization and general routines took place. As the years passed, teaching tech- niques were altered and new activities and suggestions which were thought over by the principals were carried through. Many ac- tivities became traditional events, including °80 — Junior Kim Johnson as Statue of Liberty Miss Meadowbrook, Prom, Dances and carnivals. These activities helped to get the students minds off the daily routine. Sports records continued to fluctuate. New teams, including Indoor Track, Soc- cer, and Field Hockey caught, the interest of many students and caused an increase in sport participation. Districts and Finals were won and lost by many of the teams as they strived onward toward the top. Coaches and team members came and went, but spirit and enthusiasm continued at a high rate. Fads and Fashions had their fleeting mo- ments during the twenty years Meadow- brook has been open. From miniskirts to punk hairstyles, these fads always managed to influence the looks of many students. From McDonalds to Pizza Inn, the local hangouts changed little. Though the names changed, many of the present day hangouts resembled those of the sixties. Clubs rarely changed either. Though new organizations popped up in the past few years, accomplishments seemed to stay the same. Some clubs had provided leader- ship opportunities and social activities, while others had aided the students in var- ious subjects. Over the years, the SCA proved to be the — continued on page 14 — °76 Attentive in class. rom slide rulers to Apple Computers, from light bulbs to lazer beams. Academics and academic techniques changed drastically over the years. Classes were added and deleated as times rolled on but the main idea focused on of- fering the highest educa- 66 Mike Denton in Phys- ics. tional opportunity to the willing students. Every year students faced questions such as which classes to take to prepare themselves for the future. Almost every- one came to a fork in the road trying to make this decision. The selection of courses has nearly tripled since the opening in 1963-64. With the exception of a few years when an eighth grade was part of the pro- gram, graduation require- ments included 18 credits in the areas of English, Math, Science, and His- tory. Over the past two decades many classes were added. One impor- tant addition was the Computer Math course in 1976. Since that time class size grew from 11 students to 298. Drivers Ed courses be- came available and re- quired in 1969.

An important method of training, established in 1971, was the Industrial Work Experience (1.W.E.). One of the pre- sent I.W.E. coordinators, ll cn. ed he - : Howard Lewis stated, “T.W.E. has helped stu- dents to develop a true sense of self-awareness and the importance or value in becoming the best person one can be and to do one’s best in any given situation.” Along with I.W.E. came I.C.T. (Industrial Cooperative Training). Ms. Gayle Babcock, of I.C.T. noted that the purpose was to provide a high scholor graduate with a saleable skill that he she can use in the job market.

The main purpose of the Technical Center was to provide training for students to broaden their experience in the job related fields of the fu- ture. to recall things quickly, these members were able to “show off” their talents and get some recognition from fellow students. Those who participated: in Battle of the Brains made academics respect- able because they showed people that students can be competitive and repre- sentative of their schools in areas other than sports. There were many spot light drama productions at MBK since an estab- lished actor, Mr. Del Driver, first organized the group in the late 60s. In the 70s The Bus Stop, Winnie the Pooh, Rum- plestiltskin and others brought excitement to the school life.

Along with a permission slip, paper, and a pen, the class of ’87 received three weeks of basic sex education. The males and females were taught in seperate classes by two registered nurses, Mrs. Karen Metzler and jy? Marcella Sharp. When asked how aca- demics had changed the most, French teacher, Mrs. Linda Davidson, commented “the offerings for the gifted improved with classes for talented students, AP classes, Honors level, Govern- ment’s school, etc.” From Drivers Ed to Sex Ed, from audio recorders to video cassette record- ers, academics strived to heights of excellence and continues advancing each year. °66 Mrs. Bowman, Home Economics. = Outnith Olan °81 Theresa Joyce — ac- tivities t’s 1965, the Beatles I are blaring on your AM radio.

Students were con- cerned with the political issues of “civil rights,” as- sassinations of John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Robert Kenne- dy and Vietnam. Student clubs got in on the action in Vietnam by sending letters to our boys, and toys to refugees. °77 graduate Darrell Hodson explained, “Sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll was the pervading theme of many youths of the 70’s.” Music reflected the youthful unrest of the ear- ly 70’s. Such as Don McClean’s ‘‘American Pie.” Other bands that made a powerful impact were Aerosmith, Led Zepplin, Boston, the Roll- ing Stones and the Grate- ful Dead. The back-to-na- ture look was in with faded levi’s, flannel shirts and long johns with desert boots.

From prep to punk bright col- ors, stripes, rainbows were “in.” Punk was not only a label for the clothes, jewelry and hair- styles it was an attitude. It was a Statement of radical individuality.

On the national scene students kept an eye on the Iranian hostage situa- tion, and the Middle East on Crisis. At home, new band rooms and two new Science classes were com- pleted. In 1982, MBK was named one of the top 100 schools in the nation, mainly due to fund drive for a handicapped stu- dent, Mike Morris. $21,000 was raised by a variety of school activities including a carnival, tele- thon, and club activities.

F nduring a score (twenty years) of soar muscles and benefi- cial workouts, many Monarch teams earned well-deserved victories and suffered frustrating defeats. When the school first opened, student athletes could choose from the six original sports, (baseball, Boys’ basketball, Girls’ basketball, football, soft- ball and track) to exercise their athletic abilities. By the 1983, 17 additional sports emerged. In order to keep the athletic pro- gram alive, five men con- tributed, Jim Rowe (64- 77), Jim Haselett (78- 79), Earl Binns (79-80), Dick Overton (80-83), and presently Michael Sutton. Throughout a score of scoring, teams chalked up points on the scoreboard. No matter what the out- come, individual and team efforts didn’t go un- noticed. Baseball For the past years base- ball has been like a roller- coaster with its ups and downs. Varsity baseball had a seven year slump, but rose to high points in 73-77. In °73, the team had gained the experience and support it needed, and baseball promised to become one of Meadow- brook’s more popular sports. In °75, frustration set in when the team played well and then were defeated by a very slim margin, still ending the A Score of Scoring season with an 8-8-0 re- cord. In ’77 the team cap- tured the Central District Title twice, and Regional runner-up, Regular Sea- son Champs and Central District Tournament run- ner-up. In 1980 Varsity baseball had a 12-5-1 re- cord. The starting line-up consisted mainly of sen- iors, but while the seniors took the field, there were some dedicated members who remained to warm the bench. This group called themselves ‘“‘the union”. In 1983 the “Cardiac Kids” came to the Res- cue. The gang of guys adopted this nickname from the coach because of their ability to twist a game around from defeat to victory in the last in- ning. The team ended with a record of 7-11-0. Boys’ Basketball Two generations of cham- pions and challengers, up- holding one constant ... AMBITION DRIVE. During °64-’69, the Monarchs rose to new heights, capturing the All District Title in °65. [nai lvand- 7 oethey managed to catch the Christmas Tournament Runner Up Trophy. In 77 they earned the title of Central District Champs and Central District Tournament Runner-up. In 1981, lady luck smiled on the Monarchs as they scrapped to 6 wins and 16 losses. Monarchs set school re- cords in 82-83 witha 16-7 record, were Runners-up in the District Regular Season Race, and the Dis- trict Tournament, and had a 15-6 record in 83- 84. This three year era has made MBK’s basket- ball program one of the top programs in the Dis- trict as the Monarchs have become the “hunted team” on the hardwood rather than the hunters they were almost all of two decades. Girls’ Basketball Action spoke louder than words for the many dedi- cated girls who played a part in the 20 years of sports. For the first 10 years of girls’ basketball, junior varsity and varsity team were combined. After breaking into their own team in 1974, the J.V. girls had 10 promising seasons, winning 5, losing 1, and maintaining 3. During the ’67-’79 time span the girls managed to hold a trophy. In 67 they were Chesterfield County Champs; °68 Season Champs; and ’69 Tourna- ment Champs. Girls’ bas- ketball also held the title of Central District Tour- nament Champs from 71 83 Steve Neal. to 78 and in 78-79 they placed second in the Re- gion and Girls Basketball Fall Runners-Up. In °82 and °83 they also captured the title of Tournament Champions. Cheerleaders Whether a team was vic- torious or defeated enthu- siastic chants shouted by cheerleaders ‘‘psyched”’ up fans to get involved and lead fellow Monarchs to victory. In 1980 they placed second in the To- bacco Bowl Festival and 1982 they captured a third place trophy. Sever- al blue and red ribbons for their pep, spirit, and con- scientious attitude in 1982. Cross Country The first team was formed in 1967 and lasted until 1969. In 1966 they earned their first title as Central District Champs. °77 Track, Bobby Schlosser over hurdles. For eight years the team was discontinued until it was re-established in 1978. In 1982 and 1983 the team was the Dominion District Tournament Runners-up and placed fourth in the Region and 11th in the state. The girls program started in 1981. In 1982 they placed third in the District and fourth in the Region. The 1983 team was undefeated and cap- tured Ist in the District and Regional meets. Field Hockey Since 1976 the field hock- ey has had the effort, suc- cess, joy of winning, and the pain of defeat. In 1979 the team shone by achieving a 6-1-5 re- cord. Determination, grueling practices, dis- � couraging set backs, and gratifying victories drove girls back to play field hockey every fall. Football Wham, Bam, it’s the Monarchs! Football has been played in the heat of summer, and in the briskness of fall. A mass of fans with letter- man jackets and bulky blankets packed into the stadium to be warmed by hot rivalaries and com- petitive spirits. In 1972 and 1984 foot- ball emerged victorious with records of 7-1-2 and 6-3-1. In 1967 they broke even with a record of 5-5- 0. Surviving two decades of hair raising seasons, football showed some muscle with two trium- phant seasons, 14 losing seasons and one balanced season. Both J.V. and Varsity Football were plagued by misfortunes, but they con- tinued to play with’ the will to survive. Golf Golf has chalked up fourteen winning seasons sending players to Dis- tricts and Regional Com- petitions. They came a long way with a 15-6 re- cord to include girls on the traditionally male dominated links.

The girls have posted two more winning seasons and have sent representa- tives to the Regional Competition three years in a row. Since 1978, these teams have been small in number but powerful in results. Their first season produced 4 wins and one loss. After a short period of three seasons, our boys took third place in the re- gion. In 1982, their record dropped to 3 wins, one loss. The 1983 team qualified individuals to the regionals. As of spring 1984, this team has been disbanded due to lack of bodies! Soccer Soccer, one of the youngest sports is known to be one of the most pro- ductive. The first year of soccer, 1980 the team ended it’s season with 7 wins, and one tie, and were also recognized as the Central District Champs. In 1981 it broke away from the pack of 8 wins and 2 losses and 2 ties, and in 1982 it again showed it’s enthusiasm as it dominated with 6 wins no losses and 2 ties.

The girls achieved a phenomenal 13 winning seasons, out of 20. From the crack of the bat to the slide onto home plate, the softball team played like a grande finale.

In °68 they were undefeated and in ’69 they had the largest win- ning streak. Outstanding athletes who contributed to the 20 years of softball have a rightful place in school history. Girls Tennis and Boys Tennis Girls’ tennis began in 1972 when two girls were admitted to the boys’ ten- nis team. These two girls were sent to regionals and made semi-finals in dou- bles. By 1978 twelve girls had a team of their own. Under the leadership of Coach Wilkinson, they proved that girls’ tennis has a place at MBK. The girls had only one losing season while for 4 years they have shown the Mon- arch winning spirit. Swinging into action, the boys’ tennis team took on backhands, forehands and serves from all sides but were able to capture only a few wins. Boys Track The boys track team’s overall record for the past two decades have been 3- 15-5. The first winning season came in 1973 when many school records were broken. The greatest sea- , son was in 1983 witha re- | cord of 8-2, placing 2nd in the county and district tournaments. Hard work, team spirit and unity seemed to be the key to- ward victory after victory. Coaches felt that lack of recognition and school support were reasons for not having more winning seasons. Girls track first intro- duced in 1973, did ex- ceedingly well and main- tained their record for the next two years. In the years ’76-’80 they exper- ienced 5 losing seasons but came back in °81-’83 with 7-3, 6-4, and 10-0 re- cords. The 1983 team ful- filled all of the coaches’ expectations. The regular season undefeated and earned the title of Domin- ion District Champions. In the regional track meet they placed impressive 2nd out of twenty-nine teams, but they didn’t stop there. They went on to place 11 in the state. Wrestling When wrestling first be- gan, the few and proud grapplers had a hard time getting started, but dur- ing the 67-68 season the wrestlers earned the title of Regional Tournament Champs. Coming out on top they also had a win- ning streak going from 69 to 75. In’73 the grapplers were the Central District runners up, improving on that record in °74 when they tied up the title of Central District Champi- ons. Also in ’73 they were the Regular Season Cen- tral District Runners-Up and in °74 continued the title of Central District Regular Season Champs. Though many times the grapplers felt the pain of defeat they kept on pin- ning to win. ae 80 Varsity Cheerleaders. °66 Monarchs for Free- dom.” W hy did people join a club? Many joined for recognition, a need to help the school or commu- nity, social reasons or just because they enjoyed working with people. Since 1964 a wide variety of clubs had served the school and community in the four categories of business, vocational, aca- demics and service. Future Business Lead- ers of America, aided stu- dents who pursued busi- ness careers. In 1969, V.O.T., Voca- tional Office Training, changed it’s name to C.O.E. but the goals re- mained the same. Cooper- ative Office Education permitted students to ar- range their education around their work sched- ule. They attended school for half a day and then re- ceived on-the-job training at businesses around the city. 68 Pat O’Brien inspects books for Vietnam. 10 Twenty Years in the Making ———— ’84 Matt Burton looks heavenward as he hits a high note. yuh In the mid-seventies the “job market clubs” now known as DECA, the Distributive Clubs of America, and VICA, Vo- cational Industrial Clubs of America, were de- signed to compliment the marketing curriculum. According to Mrs. Wainscott, 1984 coordin- ator of DECA, “It helped to improve the occupa- tional competency of young adults already en- gaged in retail, wholesale, and service occupations.” VICA, provided lead- ership opportunities for members, performed community and civic pro- jects, and sponsored edu- cational and social activi- ties. FHA, Future Home- makers of America, formed in 1964, promoted good family relations, childcare, community im- provements, consumer education, and household management. A tradition of FHA was a Christmas Tea and Bazzaar which featured craft items and baked goods. FTA, Future Teachers of America, dealt with the preparation for students in the field of education. During its few years of ex- istence, the club was suc- cessful in providing qual- ity training for future educators. Unfortunately the club died out shortly after it’s formation in 1964. The Academics clubs strenthened the subjects and lessons that were taught during the school day. The Debate and Foren- sics team, through hard work and dedication, won every competition exclud- ing the state title. These students studied the ori- gin and history of a propo- sition, defined its terms and surveyed carefully all the arguments and evi- dence for and against it. The Foreign Language club held to tradition by sponsoring Foreign Lan- guage Week. Students took part in special activi- ties aimed at increasing their knowledge of for- eign countries. The Drama club or Thespians Society per- formed plays and skits to entertain the students and their families. Kappa Omega Phi, bet- ter known as the History Club offered the opportu- nity of studying the past in order to understand the present. In 1981 Kappa Omega Phi was awarded the Club of the Year. One of the oldest clubs, the Science Club motivat- ed students interested in the field of science. In 1969 science members Ptould be seen walking through the nature trail behind the school. In 1983, the club canoed on the James and traveled to Washington D.C. to ven- ture in the world of the Smithsonian Institute. Since °64 the Library Club members gained °66 Buddy Myers using the new camera. knowledge through actual work and provided ser- vices of checking out books, shelving, and help- ing with research. In 1981, the Media Club was established to provide the service of videotaping school activities that aired on local cable TV. AIASA, or American Industrial Arts Student Association had a simple objective, aiding top stu- dents involved in the Technical Drawing classes to perfect their skills. MU Alpha Theta, the honorary mathematical society, was founded to acknowledge students who excelled in math- ematics. Each year the club sponsored a National Competitive Math Test aimed at recognizing out- standing student math- ematical abilities. The National Honor Society, also an honorary club, sought students with excellent capabilities in academic and community activities. The standards of NHS changed from a 3.4 grade point average to a 3.6, making require-’ ment more selective. On May 20, 1978 after winning six national drill team titles, eighteen indi- vidual drill awards, and. three two-man competi- tive awards, the Honor Guard permanently re- tired leaving behind over 53 awards. The Marching Unit which included the Major- ettes, Monarettes, the Marching Band brought home many awards thru the years. In the National Tobacco Festival of 1979, they placed third as a unit. The Peanut Festival in 1981 brought them first place and the Best Band Award and in the | Azaela Festival, they re-_ ceived another first. In | the Urbana Oyster Festi- val of 1982, they captured | still another first place. Chorus was an organi- zation made up of aspir- ing vocalists. Starting in 1964, Mr. Jack Winn be- gan the choral group, made up of chorus and Vocal Ensemble, and con- tinued as its director until 1973 when Mr. Earl Binns took over. Both had directed performances for assemblies, concerts, church and civic group activities. Bands and Orchestra, made up of musicians of all trades, entranced their audiences with all types of music ranging from Clas- sical and Rock to Pop and Bluegrass. The musical groups performed in many concerts including the annual Christmas concert, Chesterfield Jazz Festival, the VCU Jazz Lab, the Solo-Ensemble Festival and the Spring Concert. Miss Thelma Loehr, sponsor of the Jazz Lab and the Stage Band since the death of Mr. Ludy Minnign in July 83, and Mrs. Brenda John- son, sponsor of Orchestra, helped the students with their musical competition and active schedules. As a newly formed .) 64 Clubs °84 school, there existed a few whose main purpose it was to serve the school and community as a whole. The Sceptre and the Medallion gave students the opportunity to get in- volved in journalism, pho- tography, and designs while producing publica- tions for the schools en- joyment. The Medallion staff had decreased it’s activities over the past few years but had contin- ued to publish the popular Seniors Last Wills and Testaments. The Quill and Scroll and the Muse started dur- ing the mid to late sixties. Both helped to bring out the writing abilities of many students but be- cause of lack of enthusi- asm in many of these °80 History Club depicting roaring ’20s. club, the Gaming Society strived to be recognized as a full fledged organiza- tion with puzzling games as the challenge. Chess was a game of skill and it required imagination and the abili- ty to think of the moves before playing them. The Chess Club was an orga- nization for students who enjoyed playing and com- peting in chess matches. It provided the opportuni- ty for students to learn the game which required con- centration and quick thinking. Although many of the other clubs did not con- fine themselves to the clubs, they were soon forced to stop publish- ment. The Red Cross Society, formed in the early ’60s, helped deal with the prob- lems that occurred as a re- sult of the Vietnam War. Volunteers helped to keep students informed as well as aided soldiers fighting in this foreign country. Toys and food were col- lected and sent to home- less Vietnam War victims to aid them in returning their life to normal. Two brother-sister groups, the Hi-Y and the Tri-Hi-Y, were for the members to create, main- tain, and extend the high standards of a Christian way of life through in- volvement and service to the community. Since it’s induction in 1980, SODA, Students Organized to Develop At- titudes, had held the re- sponsibility of teaching neighboring fifth graders the responsibilities and handling of problems and pressures that they would encounter in later years. .From the past, this club had been proclaimed a success by sponsor Mrs. Davidson who added, ‘“‘the younger students seemed to have learned and gained many ideas and solutions for what the future holds for them.” Keyettes paved the way for community serving or- ganizations with their participation with the el- derly and neighboring church groups. In the school, the members sold “spirit links’? during Homecoming and recent- ly added a Mother- Daughter Banquet to their activities. SCA, Student Cooper- ative Association, un- doubtedly the most active organization in twenty years had led the way in Homecoming since 1964 by sponsoring the Home- coming Queen and her °66 Miss Linda Holbrook on pogo stick. °78 Linda Baldwin narrating play. court. SCA members be- came better aware of the elective process by spon- soring the changing of the constitution in 1983 and many mock elections for Presidents and Congress- man alike. This club not only aided students of the club but it also helped the officers learn how to dele- gate responsibilities and it showed them how to plan ahead and anticipate problems and difficuli- ties. One of the SCA’s main projects in 1969 was when the student body voted in precincts to change the whole govern- ing system of the school. In 1983, the biggest year for the SCA, they led the community and students to raise over $20,000 for a handicapped student. This money allowed gra- duate Mike Morris to purchase a fully equipped van. The change in times had brought with it two recent clubs for students involvement. Harambe, African for “pulling to- gether’, arose to promote interracial and intereth- nic cooperation and un- derstanding. Their main activities included ones that would bring all seg- ments of students togeth- er to act as one. These in- cluded banquet dinners, fashion shows, and the do- nation of college scholar- ships. SADD, Students Against Drunk Driving, was brought about be- cause of the rising con- cern and fears of drunken driving. Their major ac- tivities included guest speakers and assemblies aimed at making students more aware of the rising problem. Though this is not the oldest school in the coun- try or even in the county, the students here have made it one of the best by their invaluable service and dedication to many of the various clubs. With their help and support, the clubs have made a name for Meadowbrook. A name that will always live in life’s ‘‘Hall of Fame.” °82 Mascots Audrey Hud- gins Diann Dickerson wenty years passed T since the doors first opened. Many different people came and left, each contributing some- thing special to the school. Mr. Mack D. Moore, principal in 1964, orga- nized the academic sched- ule, and activities, includ- ing sports events, plays, and dances until his un- timely death in 1966. Mr. Sindlinger added, “‘He was bright, knowledge- able of school administra- tion, and very well orga- nized with a brilliant mathematical mind.” He was also well respected by students and faculty and was honored by having the football stadium named after him. Mr. John Montgomery served as principal from 1966 to 1971. ““Cooperat- ing with the staff and stu- dents was a fine exper- ience.” Mr. Montgomery now serves on the Board of Education in West Vir- ginia.

When asked what his goals were, he stated, “By offering our best teaching, the stu- dents have the best oppor- tunity to work, grow, and learn to the best of their ability. The principals could not have handled all the tasks of the school with- out the help of the assis- tant principals. Mr. John Montgomery was the first. The second assistant principal was Mr. John Stith, current principal of Falling Creek Middle School. Mr. Larry Bu- chanan came next, filling this position for two years until he became principal For the next eleven years, Mr. Bill Thomas worked with “Mr. B.” Mr. Lamm worked for one year, fol- lowed by Mr. Andy Wal- cipals, many faculty members have made con- tributions to the school. Three faculty members have been here since the school opened in the fall of 1963: Mr. William Sindlinger of the Guid- ance Department; Mr. Brian Kane, government teacher, one time wres- tling coach, sponsor of the drill team and debate team; and Mrs. Katherine Hawthorne, teacher of English and Latin. We can’t overlook members who have been here ten years or more: Mr. Ralph Angell, Mrs. Carol Hud- son, Mrs. Dolly Apessos, Mr. Steve Madison, Mrs. Winn Rogers, Mrs. Thalma Wyatt, Mr. Howard Walker, Mr. Lee Chase (left in 84), Mrs. Linda Davidson, Mrs. Sandie Lee, Mrs. Beverly Johnson, Mrs. Barbara Tucker, Mr. Joel Dexter, Mr. Sterling Hawkins, Mrs. Martha Rodgers.

When it came to running the guid- ance department, Martha Rodgers helped to main- tain an efficient depart- ment. Students also left their mark. In 1966, Mr. John- ny Grubbs graduated and went on to be a profes- sional baseball player for the Detroit Tigers. The following year, Harry Sa- ; f Too. 72 Ms. McLain in Miniskirt. feright entered baseball with the Atlanta Braves. In ’70 Larry Green left to play for the Baltimore Orioles.

Many graduates pur- sured careers in various fields: °78 Tim Pearrell, journalism, sports writer for Richmond News- leader; °72 Wes Sander- son, engineering, research engineer for Philip Mor- ris; 73 Herbert Inge, medicine, chief surgeon at John Hopkins’ Hospital; °78 Kathy Singletary, ar- chitecture, architect in San Francisco; °69 Steve Baird, and ’73 Tommy Gordon, law, attorneys at law. In business, many graduates were success- ful: in the business world: 65 Ralph Spencer, presi- dent of a real estate orga- nization; Charlie Buck-. art, Vice President of sales at United Virginia Bank; ’75 John Atkinson, T.V. producer in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In public service relat- ed fields were the follow- ing grads: 68 Ted Salm- on, Athletics Director at Clover Hill; ’65 Rusty Mooberry, state police- man; ’71 Lynn Guild, sen- ior examiner of the Feder- al Reserve.

Graduates recalled thoughts of their high school years. I.W.E. Coordinator, Howard Lewis, a °66 graduate re- ported, ““Working with my former teachers was a strange experience at first,” Chesterfield po- liceman, Morris Vaughan, 67 grad, says he still enjoys attending sports events, particularly football and basketball. °76 Denis Toney re- membered, ““My high school years at Meadow- brook were really excit- ing. It was a time when I was old enough to enjoy life but still young en- ought to be carefree.” From another point of view, 83 Robin Johnson reflected on the recent changes. “With Mr. B gone, it doesn’t seem like stands by ’64 Corvette. Meadowbrook anymore.” Changes or not, the school served as a place to learn. The lockers tem- perarily held students’ books and the halls lead them to their future. More permanently, the memories of school were etched into the students’ minds. W hen comparing stu- dent life with the ” _ time they arrived here as teachers, several °84 fac- ulty members had inter- esting comments. “‘Stu- 64 People oy ’82 beloved Mr. Ludy Minnigh. dent life here is very simi- lar to that in other areas of the country; students are mostly concerned with dates and dances, clubs and organizations, and sports,” commented Mrs. Moira MacKinnon, first year English Department Chairperson. When asked how aca- demics changed, Guid- ance Counselor, Mr. Bill Sindlinger stated, “The ‘first students of this school, for the majority, had a strong seriousness of purpose. The late 60’s and early 70’s came along where laziness came in, individual structure, and everyone wanted to do their own thing,’ They were not strongly object- ed to advice; they felt they could make the right choices.” Mr. Earl Binns, Choral Director and Fine Art 80 Ostin Whittaker and Joan Tyler smile for camera. 84 Chairman, said, ‘“‘Stu- dents do not think alike.

When I came here, I felt we were in a Weera: Academics was modi- fied in that there is “‘more emphasis on marketable skills,” commented Busi- ness Department Chair- person, Mrs. Evelyn Avery. The most change has been in “the attitudes of rey iF . Lr 66 Lanny Watkin practices before a match. a the students towards teachers, learning, and authority. There is less re- spect now for all of these,” reflected Mr. Angell. “Lack of motivation of the students is the change, commented art teacher,” Mr. Everett Butler. There have been many improvements such as “equipment for the busi- ness department,” said Mrs. Evelyn Avery. Other improvements have been in the physical plant,” said Mr. Angell, “‘with the addition of the new wing, new band rooms, new science rooms, and new color to the walls.” The greatest improve- ment that Mr. Earl Binns has seen in the school was that “‘the facilities for 82 Mike Fitzgerald and Susan Hanks. teaching are much more conducive to education to- day than 10 years ago.” “We need to regain re- spect for learning and to teach students the basic skills that many are lack- ing,” said Mr. Angell. “Programs for poten- tial drop-outs would be a plus, commented Mr. Bill Sindlinger. “Teachers need to be more active with students outside of class. Too many teachers merely put in their time and then go home,” stated Mrs. Linda °82 Tophat, Tails, and Kane. Davidson, SCA Sponsor. As time passes both faculty and students atti- tudes changed toward each other. Is teaching more than just a job? Is school just a place to meet your friends?

In 1982 when a fellow student was left crippled by a diving accident, the students donated their time and talents through their clubs to put on a carnival and other fund raisers in order to raise money to help pay for a specialized equipped van. Teaching styles came and went with new trends in academic standards. From guest speakers to overhead projectors, the teach- ers always strived to provide quality educa- tion in an interesting way. From the original three teachers includ- ing Brian Kain, Catherine Hawthorne, and Bill Sindlinger many new individuals joined the faculty and brought with them more recent and productive teaching styles. The academic standards neither stayed the same nor slacked behind other schools. A big emphasis pushed students and teach- ers in producing a more quality-minded education. Parents became increasinly in- volved and helped the faculty with the job of educating their children. Advanced technology brought with it the opportunity for students to become better aquainted with computers, television broadcast and mathematical and science computations. The students involvement in °82 Beth Childress receives congratulations from class sponsor Ms. Irene Peters. these activities strengthened their chances for a prosperous life after high school. For those who wished to start their career early, IWE and ICT was set up so students wished to get technical training while still in high school. The newly formed Chesterfield Technical Center provided them with this opportunity. All of these new and produc- tive activities and ideas definitely showed the change of times and brought students closer to the real aspect of school: Learning. Though the halls may seem a dingy yel- low and the walls appeared faded, numer- ous aspiring individuals once walled these halls from class to class. Lannie and Bobby Watkins, professional golfers, Harry Safer- ight, who once played for the Atlanta Braves, and Johnny Grubbs, who played baseball also, got their start here... Dawn Barney a professional vocalist who toured Europe and the United States, was a bud- ding singer here. On June 12, 1984, 300 students made their way through the freshly painted halls. Never again would they return as students. Now they would further their education in college or go straight to work. As they left they took with them the knowledge and ex- perience that were brought together during the ROARING TWENTIES. °83 Audrey Hudgins helps Powderpuff Cheerleader, Mr. Carl Wood and Mr. Bill Sindlinger adjust their attire. ey ie og ot 4 A ye _ dig i , Ng ate 2 igor Ps ; % S, wh Te 5 eh i PORS a” eens [ols . i S Korvette Kustoms is Virginia’s only full service corvette specialty dealer.

The Girls Gymnastics Man- agers responsibilities were to “be there when I need them, to get things when I need them, to assist the coach,” said Debbie Rizzo. Coach, Sandy Lee explained that in Girls Basketball and Softball, “The equipment has to be taken care of before and after the games, water must al- ways be available and scores ac- curately recorded.” When the final scores were tallied, coaches and managers could rest assured that because of their close working relation- ship, the team outcome was re- warding for all!

Members of the Student Cooperative Association realized that the coming year would be one full of adjust- ments. Before school started, SCA and the new principal, Mr. Kent Walker, went to work welcoming freshmen to Meadowbrook at orientation. The Fourth Annual Back-to- school dance was also held, where both new and returning Monarchs danced the night away with Disc Jockey Anthony Terrell. Following these events, the SCA provided guides and refreshments for the Back to School night where parents had the oppor- tunity to become acquainted with their chil- dren’s teachers. In October, the club constructed frames and painted backdrops for the float entitled “The Best of Times” which carried the Homecoming Court. The following month, the SCA collected canned goods, and as a result, several hundred cans were given at Thanksgiving to the Crippled Childrens Hospital. During November, an Officers Work- shop was held to aid the many club officers in organizing and carrying through on their duties. DECA students from VCU met with 116 SCA the officers and shared their experience and advice. Guest speaker Mr. Ed Jones, the Supervisor of Special Projects for Chester- field, displayed to students an overview of Parliamentary Procedure. During December, members provided stockings stuffed with candy and toys to the trainable mentally retarded at Gates Ele- mentary. The SCA participated in the Christmas Mother Program, providing each member of an underpriviledged fam- ily with a variety of Christmas gifts. In the annual blood drive, students don- ated over 100 pints of blood to the Rich- mond Metropolitan Blood Service. The SCA then provided the Monarchs with a Christmas party to start off Christmas va- cation on a merry note. Nearly twenty clubs sponsored booths at the annual carnival with each donating a portion of it’s profits. As a result, $850 was contributed to the Medical College of Vir- ginia for it’s plan to renovate their “Hospi- tality House.” Along with the canned goods donation, blood drive, and Christmas Mother Program, these events prompted Robert Spain to express that “serving as SCA president revealed that the associ- ations major concern was not only that of serving the school but also serving the com- munity around us.” The theme “One in a Million You” cap- tured the attention of many students on March 23 during the Miss Meadowbrook Pageant. Here glamorous girls danced across the stage while trying to impress the judges selected from the community. Mrs. Linda Davidson, who had been the organization’s sponsor for twelve years, de- cided that she would no longer be able to sponsor the SCA. She reflected, ““This was a difficult year in SCA because everyone had to deal with their new principal anxi- eties. Despite this difficulty, the five offi- cers worked hard to continue the activities previously sponsored by the SCA, though they sometimes felt that their creativity was hindered. I was pleased with the suc- cess of all our functions, particularly the Miss Meadowbrook Pageant where every- one worked together to produce a first class event!” Though the year had ended quietly, much had been accomplished. The 10 min- ute break for example was brought back due to increased pressure from the SCA. Problems had been attacked and resolved. The SCA knew what had to be accom- plished and members didn’t stop until these problems had been worked out. Candy for kids. SCA President Robert Spain helps Drainin away.

The boy girl SODA teams were selected from juniors and seniors on the basis of how they would handle each situation. Each team visited one of six neighboring elemen- tary schools, (Falling Creek, Beulah, Bens- ley, Hening, Hopkins, and Salem Church) once every two weeks throughout the school year. During each visit, the Students Orga- nized to Develop Attitudes presented a les- son which was carefully prepared and re- viewed by the sponsors Mrs. Linda David- son, Miss Lee Chase, and Mrs. Sharon Paulson. Lessons were on such topics as responsi- bility, alcohol, and drugs, honesty, and ca- reer choosing. A clever activity such as a skit depicting child abduction was present- ed to involve the students, to keep them interested, and to get the point across. A discussion of the topic with the students usually followed. “Hey you!” Senior Bobby Lawrence amuses Keyette members Marcy Tenenbaum and Suzanne Duff as he attempts to sell Homecoming Spirit Links. “O.K., turn them in.” Seniors Danny Bennett and Sharon Blake collect SODA questionnaires from their class.

As member Kristen Lofquist explained “A responsible high school student is old enough for a fifth grader to look up to, but young enough for him to relate to.” SODA wrapped up with a “Social” in May. SODA members, their parents, par- ticipating elementary school teachers, and a fifth grader representing each class were invited. Certificates were awarded to each member, and each fifth grader gave a short talk in appreciation of his her SODA team. The sponsors also expressed their feelings on the program. Mrs. Paulson, a former SODA member herself commented, ‘I was overwhelmed by the dedication and respon- sibility of the SODA teams.” All SODA participants were certainly working hard and working together to make a good thing Detrere Reach Out ’ hen it came to dedication in Community Service, Keyettes headed the list. Consisting of 40 members and 10 sweethearts Keyettes enoyed being of ser- vice to others. Senior Theresa Campbell said, “Being a member of Keyettes is differ- ent than being a member of just any other club. We are closer and there is a great feeling of ‘togetherness’.’’ Sweetheart, Mike Louth said, “It’s a lot of fun being around all the people.” Keyettes remained active by attending local churches once a month and by partici- pating in fundraisers. Selling spirit links during Homecoming week, doughnuts and Valentine Day carnations, raised money for charities such as the Christmas Mothers Fund (Christmas presents and food for a needy family), MCV Hospitality House and supporting a little girl in Chile. In the spring, Keyettes had a Mother- Daughter Banquet at the Meadowbrook Restaurant. Thirteen girls and their moth- ers enjoyed a steak and shrimp dinner.

Tri-Hi-Y went beyond the limit when it exceeded its $300 scholarship goal by over $100 and in- creased its membership to 35 new mem- bers. Thus it earned recognition as the sec- ond best club of the year. During the fall, Tri-Hi-Y members held an induction for new members at Beulah Church. During the year, they went to ser- vices held at Southside Church of the Nazarene, Fairhaven Methodist Church and St. Agustines Church. After their meetings, members often enjoyed dining for lunch at Darryl’s, Red Lobster, and nu- merous other local restaurants. In October, the Tri-Hi-Y chapter hosted a district Hi-Y Tri-Hi-Y workshop led by Mark Coward, Associate Director of the Virginia YMCA. 175 members from the greater Richmond area attended and care- fully listened as Mr. Coward gave advice for helping the community around them. Members also took part in the Home- coming Parade by constructing a float enti- tled “Judge the Colonials.” The cold winds of winter were warmed by the Christmas spirit of selling tree orna- ments that started the great fund raising drive for their goal of a $300 scholarship. To celebrate these accomplishments, mem- bers took in a few hours of swimming at the YMCA in January. In early February, the club held the an- nual Tri- Hi-Y week which included: Color- day, teachers secret pal, and a saying for the day read on the morning announce- ments. Adding to the weeks festivities, they went out to eat pizza on Tuesday at the Celebrity Room and attended a Boys’ Var- sity Basketball game together on Friday night. On May 23, students gathered together at Kathy Jones’ house for an end of the year picnic. Here the graduating seniors were honored and the induction of the new offi- cers took place. President elect Glenna Koeppel pointed out, ‘‘We thought we could do it and we did! With all of our hard work and dedication, we raised over $300 that went to President Sandra Penny for her college expenses.” Overall the minutes spent together as Tri-Hi-Y were productive and exciting. They succeeded in taking their goals be- yond the limit. “Let me think.”” Members Robin Rakestraw and Bren- da Oullette discuss the upcoming events.

Director Earl Binns leads Ensemble members at the Chesterfield Courthouse Complex during a May performance. Singing for friendship. Mixed Choir members prepare for the next song during the Christmas Concert. Making a Joyful Noise t seemed like a regular class with regu- lar students but these students, in reality, were talented singers who brought music to every occasion. Even though it may have seemed easy to the audience, every perfor- mance had to be terrific because there was a grade attached. Mixed Choir and Vocal Ensemble made up of dedicated vocalists, were taught the fundamentals of music while a big empha- sis of enjoyment and compatability was placed upon them. Mixed choir was the first step to Vocal Ensemble. No tryouts were required for mixed choir but everyone worked hard and performed all year to learn how to sing with others. It was to balance Mixed Choir’s sound. The Vocal Ensemble, made up of selected vocalists were chosen on the basis of their singing ability. During the year Vocal Ensemble sang for the Meadowbrook Women’s Club, a wom- en’s group from St. Augustines and also for the incoming class of °87. On April 27, members entertained at an elementary leaders award assembly and later in May performed for the PTSA. In December, both the Mixed Choir and Vocal Ensemble traveled to Cloverleaf Mall and delighted the last minute Christ- mas shoppers. During school they gave an enthusiastic performance to students anx- ious for the holidays to arrive. At this per- formance, the Ensemble presented director Mr. Earl Binns with a Lacoste sweater for his guidance and support. In February, designated as Black Histo- ry Month, the Mixed Choir delighted May- or Ray West on his visit to the school. As President, Glenna Koeppel comment- ed, “Every performance we gave, turned out surprisingly well! Members were will- ing to work hard at practice and because of this the performances turned into a big hit! Mr. Earl Binns commended two students who “stood out in each group.” Sherri Le- gat, president of mixed choir, was said to have been an essential and helpful accom- panist on the piano for her first year. In Vocal Ensemble, freshman Chris Craig, re- ceived first place in solo at regionals in Feb- ruary. “It’s been a progressive year,” stated Earl Binns, “as well as any two groups I’ve ever had.” Looking to a Tony tudent apathy was a common reason for the lack of participation in many clubs. The Thespians were no exception. Mem- bers participated in the production of Runaways, the Act II of Plaza Suite, and sponsoring of a pantomine. As Sponsor John Mingus commented, “It was a dismal year for theatre at Meadowbrook with few exceptions. Students were unwilling to ac- cept the responsibility and the rigor of working up a role.” Mixed Choir Front Row: Mr. Earl Binns (Director).

Chorus Thespians 123 Striking up the Band ‘ive that were somewhat unfamiliar to many, took students, faculty, and parents by storm when the Jazz Lab and Stage Band performed at many local functions. For the musicians, the Jazz Lab and State Band were extra activities that helped to keep the students busy. As Jazz Lab mem- ber Tracy Capps commented, “It took up a lot of extra time, but the experience and fun made them both worthwhile.” These two versatile groups played many types of music from the blues to funk and rock. Both the State Band and the Jazz Lab entertained the audience in January during the District III] Band Festival. Later in March, members performed again at the Chesterfield Fine Arts Festival. Courthouse Complex employees were serenaded in May by both groups. During a picnic type lunch, spectators enjoyed classi- cal music while taking a break from work. The year was ended with another appear- ance May 14 at the last meeting of the PISAG At basketball games, the group played catchy rival tunes to lead the Monarchs to victories. In addition, they played for local elementary and junior high schools for re- cruiting purposes. Sponsor Miss Thelma Loehr was pleased with both groups. She commented, “I was especially proud of the Jazz Lab. During the beginning of the year, they were inexpe- rienced but as they performed more and more, they learned to pick it up. They both performed top notch work!” Contemporary Chamber Players ale harmonious sounds of music from the stringed instruments entertained the Greek gods, as did the orchestra entertain it's variety of audiences throughout the year. The strings: violin, viola, cello, and bass gave their audiences music ranging from rock to classical, bluegrass to showtunes. Freshman Orchestra members partici- pated in All-County Orchestra, while Ju- nior Greg DeBruyn was chosen first chair for All-Regional Orchestra held in Roa- noke. He then went on to participate in the All-State, a very high honor. During the holiday season, the Orchestra traveled to Cloverleaf Mall and delighted shoppers with their merry sounds of Christ- mas. On December 19, they provided the opening numbers at the annual Christmas Concert, setting the stage for the bands and choruses that followed. In March, Orchestra members partici- pated in the Cultural Arts Festival at Bens- ley. The group also received a one rating, the highest given, at the County Orchestra Festival held at Chester Intermediate. On May 21, the Orchestra performed Capriccio by Vivaldi at the Music Depart- ment’s Spring Concert. Director Brenda Johnson summed up the year and com- mented, “Each individual did their part to add to the sounds of the group and make the year a success.” 124 Bands Orchestra Golden age of violins.

Bands Orchestra 125 “a8 hhh!’’, “Do you have a pass?”, ‘‘Whose class are you with?’’, Quiet please.” Librarian Carolyn Beard’s job was tough trying to keep behavior in the library suitable for study. With the assistance of Mrs. Jackie Kaye, she ordered the materi- als and kept the budget for the library. The detection system installed last year was very effective and saved money which in turn was used to buy a new computer. Hundreds of books had been lost in the past years and this year with the system only 57 could not be accounted for. The library was used for silent study, re- search, social gatherings in the morning and during lunch, receptions and club and teacher meetings after school. The first and last months of the school year the library was very popular because of the air condi- tioning. When asked how to improve the high school library, Mrs. Beard stated, “The library was important in learning and should be used more by the classes.” In- cluded in the classes offered, was a library media science course where students aided the librarians and media specialist Ms. Sandie Silvestre by arranging books, taking inventory, helping students check out mate- rials and videotaping classroom activities. At the beginning of the year, there was a ‘get acquainted” picnic for the 21 library media aides at Mrs. Beard’s home. Stu- the Pages Turn dents enjoyed home cooking furnished by student Jeff Stanley and his super spaghetti sauce. Later, Mrs. Beard and Mrs. Kaye along with the aids took part in a friendly game of touch football. Although running a library could be a stressful job at times, the students aides made the job a little easier through their dedication and support. Quiet on the Set 74 ( ood evening, this is the Mea- dowbrook Media reporting to you live from the auditorium where the annual Gong Show is being videotaped.” This was just one of the many school events that was re- corded on tape by the Media Club. This organization provided the service of videotaping all important school activities including highlights of Homecoming and the Miss Meadowbrook Pageant. Not only did they tape affairs at school but members also traveled to the Crafts Fair VIII at the Richmond Arena and the Chesterfield County Fine Arts Festival at Monacan. The eight club members learned skills including the operation of video cameras and editing on sophisticated equipment at Storer Cable of Chesterfield. 126 Library Media Ms. Sandra Silvestre, club sponsor ex- plained how time consuming this extra- curricular activity could be. “Editing alone could take up to five or six hours straight. In addition to school work and part time jobs, membership in the club was very demand- ing on student’s time.” Despite the time factor, Senior Pat Carr benefited, as he commented, “I learned how to use the equipment, and how to make and produce my own shows. This was quite a reward.” Freshman Amy Dixon added, “I learned responsibility alot better and I’ve made many new friends.” Only two of the club members were fe- male and Ms. Silvestre believed that more girls should get involved. “The time is right for more women to move into the field of television as producers, camera operators, and directors,” she expressed. In addition to learning marketable Me- dia skills, the Media club helped to put school activities into the living rooms of the community by cablecasting on local access. Highlights of Homecoming, Crafts Fair VIII, A Look at Vietnam, and Miss Mea- dowbrook were seen on Educational Ac- cess. “Well, that’s all for this season in Media. Don’t be surprised if you turn on your T.V. set one day and find a former member of the Media Club behind the camera.” “No, it’s right here.” Librarian, Carolyn Beard assists Theda Sauls with her English paper while Richard Lasher looks on.

The editors, three staff members, and an advisor raced against the clock to complete the color deadline. At 10:00 P.M. that night, they reached their goal — with twenty-six hours to spare. Dealing with the pressure of deadline was a constant headache for the Sceptre staff. Work began on the book in the sum- mer of °83 at a workshop at the University of Richmond. Theme, story ideas and a rough organization of the book was laid out by the new editors and the advisor. In Octo- ber, four members and the advisor attended another developmental workshop at Doug- las Freeman High School. New ways for making copy interesting were presented by Ms. Nancy Patterson. In November, advi- sor Ms. Sandra Silvestre, parent, Mrs. San- dra Rublee, and English teacher Mrs. Alice Harding accompanied 30 members to the University of Virginia for the V.H.S.L.

During the Christmas season, money was collected from members and toys and gloves were given to a needy child thru the Christmas Mother Program. Sceptre staff members, along with other organizations in the school, helped with inventory at Miller and Rhoads. Over $200 was raised to help with the publication of the book. Mrs. Betty Boggs also volunteered her time to help raise funds and organized a flea market that brought in $75.00, still adding to the total amount brought in.

John Redmond stated, “Being an editor was exciting, but the position held with it a great deal of responsibility and hard work.” Kris Rublee added, “I’ve per- sonally learned many skills as editor, but the most difficult one is getting all 45 mem- bers to carry out their responsibilities.” Advisor Ms. Sandra Silvestre pointed out, “The time spent and academic skills learned by students thru yearbook should warrant course credit.

For a mere $1.00 or $2.00 students could express themselves thru personalized buttons. Opinions such as “Go away world, I’m a SENIOR” came alive in minutes be- cause of the VICA owner-operated button machine. This project of “Bring Out Your Best” campaign with buttons began in early September for IWE and ICT students who were members of Vocational Industrial Clubs of America. These skills of market- ing and salesmanship were stressed along with employment opportunities, personal budgets and insurance. Forty-five students found out what VICA was really like as President Keith Aldridge commented, “VICA had pre- pared us for the real world thru it’s use of field trips and numerous other assorted ac- tivities.” During September, students met at Her- mitage High School for Fall Leadership Rally and then traveled to Kings Dominion. In October, members elected officers who later participated in the SCA sponsored Leadership Training Program. November was the month for the final kickoff at VICA’s major fund raiser, the sale of buttons. A total of $650 was collect- ed from this profitable activity. Sponsor Ms. Gayle Babcock commended their hard work and replied, “This was the best year ever for the VICA club due to the participa- tion of many of the officers and members.” December brought with it a festival of giving. Students collected enough canned goods to assemble two baskets of food. These baskets along with clothes and toys were given to a needy family in the area. According to Secretary Sarah Eastwood, “There was a great amount of participation [MUN and Christmas spirit throughout the club. This spirit made a needy, family quite hap- by National Vocational Education Week in February brought with it a time for celebra- tion. Club members baked cupcakes for the faculty, held officers recognition day, came to school dressed for their favorite occupa- tion, and promoted the program to enroll students for next year. At the District XII Leadership and Skills Olympics during March, Keith Aldridge received first place Student of the Year and was also recognized as second in the state. To wind up the program, VICA met with it’s sister club DECA and held the annual Employer Employee Banquet at Meadow- brook Country Club. Superior Perfor- mance Awards were won by Doug Wallas, Dale Faulkner, and Dwayne King. Student of the Year went to Senior Keith Aldridge. After months of hard work and contribu- tions from students, VICA members ended the year with an “oink” at Bullocks Florist for a Pig Roast. VICA not only showed its IWE and ICT students the fundamentals of the working world, but also gave them an opportunity to practice what they had learned. If a VICA button were designed advertising the kind of year that VICA had it would undoubted- ly say “You Brought Out Your Best!” Successful Ending Be: of a colorful variety slowly began to inflate as eager youngsters looked on. Sweatshirts and teeshirts were handed out to willing customers. MARKEI The Deca program taught civic con- sciousness, social intelligence, vocational understanding and leadership develop- ment, the four points of the Deca diamond. Many students involved in Deca program attended school for half a day and then en- tered into the working world to earn extra spending money and gain valuable knowl- edge. Deca students in Fashion Merchandising used field trips to make the academic cur- riculum more interesting. They traveled to White Flint Mall in Maryland and to Chrysler Museum to participate in season fashion shows. During February, members took place in area competition by decorat- ing the display window at Mitchells For- malwear in Cloverleaf Mall with hearts and assorted flowers. Members were rewarded with a first place trophy. During the annual Spring carniaval, Deca students sold helium filled balloons and sweatshirts. Collecting over $28.00, the members donated it all to MCV for a new hospitality house. Throughout Vocational Education Week, members planned and presented two fashion shows to the student body during lunch. From this, members learned about preparations, fashion designs and model- ing. In May, employees of Deca students gathered at the Meadowbrook Country Club for the employers employee banquet. Phillip DaSanMartino was named student of the year, while Teri Gravitte and Paul Murray received Superior Work Perfor- mance Awards. The new coordinator, Ms. Donna Wains- cott looked back at the students participa- tion in many of the events and commented, “Though we started off with small interest and involvement, as the year drew on, ev- eryone seemed to add their talents and ideas to make it end successfully.” SS Snap!

Philip Morris, may I help you?” This was one of the many lines used by the members of COE (Cooperative Office Education). Students involved in the COE program learned the basics of business skills and how to put them to use in the every day working world. COE consisted of twenty-eight students who had at least two years in business courses including General Business, Typ- ing, Shorthand, Accounting, and Office Practice. Members attended various busi- ness Classes in the morning and then report- ed to job training places such as Philip Mor- ris Engineering Department, Fort Lee, and the Virginia State Highway Department. All of the positions held by COE students were office related jobs. Many part-time jobs led to full-time careers for some stu- dents after graduation. Mrs. Evelyn Avery and Mrs. Barbara Tucker helped the students to look for job leads and also helped them maintain part- time jobs. Mrs. Avery commented, “This program let the students use business skills that helped them in their future occupa- tions. An Employer Employee banquet was held at the Swift Creek Mill Playhouse on May 10. This dinner was attended by the working students, their families, and em- ployers. The most outstanding working stu- dents were commended for their dedication and participation. The banquet also al- lowed the students and their employers to relax and get to know one another in an pe. oe + he “ie to Success informal background. As member Kim Felts commented, “This was one of the best programs in the school. It was not only fun to participate in but at the same time, we received a lot of useful knowledge and experience.” Taking Charge dvancements including dicta- phones, Keypunch and word processors had become a part of the every day business routine. Future Business Leaders of Amer- ica (FBLA) learned the daily rituals of op- erating computers and coping with the fast pace of the business world. In March, two members participated in State Competition, Pat Carr in computer and Kim Craig in shorthand. Here the stu- dents demonstrated their business abilities against other similar high school students; however, neither placed. Later in May, spring weather permitted FBLA members to enjoy a friendly picnic at Pocohontos Park. Students took time to relax from their ‘business world” and played the traditional outdoor game of Frisbee while enjoying the home cooked food. In addition to advancements in machin- ery, FBLA members made advancements in their way of thinking and acting. As sec- retary Suzanne Carter commented, “Being a part of FBLA brought it’s members closer together. We learned to communicate with each other and during times of trouble, we talked more and just stuck by each other.” Filing a claim.

Your opponents queen dashed forward and before you knew it, you heard the familiar word, “check mate!” In the Fall, seven Chess Club members traveled to Clover Hill High School and participated in a tournament. “By winning five out of seven matches, the team showed very satisfactory results,” commented club sponsor, Ms. Irene Peters. During February, the club held competi- tions and found the two best ranking mem- bers. The best four out of seven matches produced the champion, Freshman, Mi- cheal Williams, with Sophomore Tammi Bruden, a close second. When the club gained yet another female chess player, its participation greatly in- creased. The members were allowed to play anytime after school because the structure was kept loose to accomodate playing time. Ms. Peters added, “The club was not only for veterans but many beginning chess players had a chance to improve their play- ing ability.” After an hour of playing, the match was finally over. Though your Kingdom had been conquered by your opponent, the con- frontation served to stimulate your com- petitive instincts for the next encounter. 134 Chess NHS Motto of Accomplishment 6) Saturday May 12th as the morn- ing broke, 22 students could be found load- ing the school bus bound for the Poquoson River. These students traveled over 70 miles to go canoeing on this river near the Chesapeake Bay. They glided down the riv- er, making frequent stops to admire and identify the vegetation growing on the banks, the numerous species of animals and the ecological make up of salt water marshes. This trip was made possible through the efforts of the National Honor Society, a club made up of those students who had excelled in areas of scholarship, leadership, service, and character. Included along with 7 NHS members, 17 non-members also en- joyed the bay experience. The club’s two major fund raisers includ- ing working at Casual Corner unloading stock and by selling $70 worth of carnations for St. Patricks Day. At the annual spring carnival, members took part in a palm read- ing booth and raised in excess of $20 which they donated to MCV for their Hospitality House. Phil Bayman from the Richmond Peace Center was invited to speak to faculty mem- bers and interested students during the fall on the topic of nuclear disarmament. From his talk, Mr. Bayman raised students curi- osity and made them think about the future of nuclear weapons. Mrs. Fran Boswell, NHS sponsor summed up the club’s accomplishments, “We all felt that our goal of increased ser- vice and intellectual activities had been met On May 8, parents, students, and faculty members were all invited to the Monarch gym for the induction of 30 new members into the National Honor Society. Each old member carried a long stem rose to one of the members and tapped him into accord- ing to member Kip Anderson, “one of the most prestigious organizations on the long list of available clubs.” On the close of the last major function of the year, Stuart Brumfield, Club President noted the societies endeavors and com- mented, “we made the club more than a mere honor, we lived out the motto of ac- complishment.” A day in the sun.

From tiny ants to enormous black holes, they studied it all. The twenty mem- bers who made up the Science Club did just that by stimulating an interest and involve- ment with science related activities. On December 1, National Reading Month was given an added lift by science students. Science Club members sold heli- um-filled balloons to willing customers who in turn added their name, address, and fa- vorite book to the attached card. As secre- tary Peggy Kite commented, “Much to our surprise, the first card returned had been one put in for the Science Club!” December 10 brought with it mystery and excitement as sixteen club members attended the “Christmas Star’ show at the Science Museum Planetarium and viewed the sky as it looked the night Jesus was born. Money for future club activities was col- lected as members sold flowers to friends and neighbors in mid-December. From this fund raiser, over $30 was collected for the club’s treasury. An adoption took place in March as Sci- ence club members donated money to the Maymont Foundation. For only $15, mem- bers became “cousins to a chipmunk” for a year. At the annual spring carnival, the Sci- ence Club raised the largest amount of money out of all the clubs that participated. From $110 over $70 was donated to MCV for renovations of their Hospitality House. Finishing up the year with increased par- ticipation and a large bank account, Presi- dent Jodi Bowers commented, “‘The deter- mination and dedication of the club made the carnival sales especially profitable to the less fortunate.

If students spoke any of these languages and were involved in French, Spanish, Latin, or German, they were eligi- ble to join the Foreign Language Club. The Foreign Language Club started out the year with a great deal of participation from members at its first meeting. This meeting was held in order to discuss plans for the clubs Homecoming float. However when Homecoming (day) arrived, the offi- cers were left with the task of building the float themselves. This float was one of the major disappointments for the club. Mrs. Evelyn Shelton, club sponsor, felt that “there was a certain apathy among club members which was apparent in the mak- ing of the float.” Christmas for the members was much more responsive. They collected money and food for a needy family to celebrate Christ- mas. President Jay Forehand felt that, “Due to more club participation, this activ- ity turned out to be successful as well as rewarding.” Students involved in the club participat- ed in numerous other activities including visiting foreign restaurants such as Casa Gallardo and trying strange but well liked Cuisine. Members made foreign dishes and sold them to hungry visitors at the annual spring carnival. Included in these dishes were cheese crepes and tacos, all of which the visitors seemed to favor. From the over- whelming response, the club was able to donate over $30 to the MCV Hospitality House. Vice President Pam Sink felt that the carnival was “the most rewarding activ- ity of the year because it benefited not only the school but the community as well.” The club banquet was held in dur- ing Foreign Language Week. The banquet received participation not only from the club members but the faculty and student body as well. Foreign delicasies including Quiche, Chocolate mousse, and Sauerkraut were served to the eager guests. As one member stated, “Even though there were some disappointments, we worked through them and had a lot of fun.” The Foreign Language Club did work through their disappointments and partici- pated in several activities that benefitted all.

The athletes raced to the field prepared for com- petition. They psyched up for the game be- cause they knew that the crowd was with them. This crowd was largely made up of Pep Club members who had an energetic way of showing their support for their team. Feeling the need for organized unity and Support, twenty members regularly attend- ed games and lent a hand in cheering the teams to victory. Members dressed in strange attire (pajamas, beach clothes, to- gas) to distract the opponent and increase morale and spirit. On the effectiveness of the Pep Club, President Kim Newell commented, ‘““We were a very big asset to the school. Club members helped the cheerleaders out by putting up banners and advertisements for sporting events and above all, by raising student morale at the games.” Though the cheering and spirit of the club involved hard work, members also managed to have fun. Enthusiastically, members abandoned the stands. Behind them they left a great win. They knew that their support and loud chants had added to the cheerleaders spirit which in turn helped the athletes to reach their goal of victory. Pep Club.

The first Tuesday of every month, the FHA presented a program to all Home Economics students centering around their emphasis, “Let FHA Compute Your Fu- ture.” To let students know about all of the many FHA activities planned, “Fred,” the friendly computer came to the first meeting and presented the program of work. Other program meetings were held on such topics as “Job Interviews Make the Difference,” “Careers in the Home Economics Field,” and a “Wardrobe Seminar.” In the fall, members enjoyed a family picnic at Beulah Recreational Park where everyone got acquainted and tasted favorite family foods. In October, College Night took time and work as baking cookies, serv- ing refreshments to about 100 guest speak- ers and being hostesses became a responsi- bility of FHA members. The favorite fall activity was taking a behind the curtains tour of Chuck E. Cheese’s Restaurant. Members saw the complete preparation and serving of pizzas and then enjoyed eat- ing samples and making their own sundaes. During midwinter, preparing for about 350 guests for the Christmas Tea and Ba- zaar was a Challenge along with participat- ing in the Christmas Mother project. National FHA week was celebrated Feb- ruary 12-18th with the theme “Creating Partnership for Excellence.” Daily activi- ties varied: bulletin board displays and signs throughout the halls; student appre- ciation day featuring FHA emblem find, guessing the number of hearts in a jar, and taking a chance from the FHA lollipop tree to draw a red lollipop and win a doliar bill. FHA notepads and pencils were presented to teachers and an “Open House” for the relaxation of faculty, administrators, and 140 FHA AIASA guests was also held. Smiling faces and grateful hearts were expressed by Chesterfield Nursing Home patients as Malynda Bixby led members in spreading a bit of happiness to residents of the home. FHA members gained a feeling of satisfaction as they made favors for the trays for Thanksgiving, decorated the home for Christmas, had a Bingo party for the 50 residents, participated in a bake sale and then ina raffle ticket sale to help buy a van for residents transportation. Malynda Bixby commented, “It was a lot of work but the personal rewards were well worth it all.” Members wrapped up the spring activi- ties with the completion of work on their individual and chapter degree work and by attending Dellwood Federation Spring Ral- ly in which students planned for Larry Goldstein, a mime, to entertain the audi- ence. The annual Family Banquet held at Meadowbrook Country Club was attended by eighty-five members and guests. High- lighting the banquet was the program, “‘As the Roles Turn” in which four couples at- tempted to answer questions as their spouses would concerning the changing roles of men and women in today’s homes. Six members were awarded individual De- grees and two received Chapter Degrees of Achievement. The impressive installaction of Officers Ceremony was a fitting closing for the banquet. A Community Cookbook sale sponsored by Ted Gillette representing the Great American Opportunities Inc. proved very successful by netting a profit of $900 for the chapter. Lisa Jenkins was named top sales person and grand prize winner of $80 for her efforts. In assessing the overall achievements of the year, sponsors Donna Lythgoe and Nar- ice Bowman stated, “We are proud of the Future Homemakers of America Chapter and we feel that the organization has made great progress in working toward their goal of improving individual, family, and com- munity living.” Supporting the Future Sea apathy seemed to play a large part in the lack of participation in many events this school year,” stated Chris Mill- er, Vice President of the American Indus- trial Arts Students of America. Among the few services provided by the club was the sale of the spirit ribbons for the fall football season. The ribbons sold were selected by the members of AIASA from a booster catalog. The sales were a success, the mon- ey raised was placed in the club account and used for drawing materials and other club functions. AIASA did not actively participate in the SCA carnival, which raised $800 dol- lars for the MCV Hospitality House, how- ever they made a cash donation of $15 to the fund. AIASA membership were selected from the various drawing classes. The selection was made by the members and the sponsor, Mr. Sterling Hawkins, based on grades and overall performance in the drawing class. AIASA was a support program for the drawing classes. At the beginning of the year members numbered only five seniors, however new members were invited to join. This induc- teeship raised the total membership to twelve. “How do you spell relief?” FHA sponsored Reggie Smith, explains to Sabrina Johnson how to puta spinal cord in his puppet friend, “self-esteem.” Exterior alternations.

Each member of the Debate Team was responsible for knowing as much informa- tion on his her topic as possible. If he she was not prepared, he she would not be able to impress the judges. During June of °83, three members spent three weeks at the Wake Forest Debate Camp. Here Tracy Foster, Danny Bennett, and Theda Sauls learned the many tricks of debate from the nations finest college de- baters. With Wake Forest in the past, the team entered several successful tournaments. In August, members attended the four week long Geater Richmond Debate League at Trinity High School. Here Salmon Akbar placed second as did Danny Bennett who was also awarded the Most Improved De- bater Trophy. The Edison High School Tournament came next in October. Though the mem- bers worked hard to win, they did not place. At the Longwood Debate Tournament in December and the Monacan Tournament in February, students again attempted to win but did not place. In every tournament, these students knew they would never gain worldwide fame, but the thought of a first place trophy was strongly on their minds. Cautious Confrontation Se2 on a once unknown topic in front of large gatherings was challenging for students. When competition was added, this increased the work involved and many students were left behind. For those who could endure the challenge and work, were able to join the Forensics Society. 142 Debate Forensics Olympics of the Mind The Forensics Society, an academically competitive group of students, attended tournament several times during the year. Two of the most popular events were ex- temporaneous speaking and original orato- ry in which students picked a topic and wrote a discussion for the judges. Included among the speech formats were poetry, prose reading, dramatic and humorous in- terpretations. These activities consisted of reading or reciting a memorized selection of known literary merit. A Longwood College Tournament in Oc- tober and a Monacan Tournament in No- vember, started the year off right. Though the members did not place in either of these events, practice and knowledge were gained. Later in March, four hopefuls attended the District Competition held at Midloth- ian High School. Here Tracy Foster and Danny Bennett entered Original Oratory while Theda Sauls and Conor Shiel partici- pated in Dramatic Interpretation. Four awards were taken home when Danny and Conor took first place and Tracy and Theda received second. All four went on to compete at Regionals held at Longwood College. When asked about his reactions after District Competition, Member Danny Ben- nett commented, “I was extremely nervous. | knew | had either blown it or had gotten first place!” High School Scholars IDEs a moving vehicle powered only by a 2x4 inch mousetrap. The team must design and build five cars. In competition each car much run one leg of a relay race which will be from 12 to 20 feet long. There will be a balloon affixed to the end of each leg which will be worth points if the car can pop it. Each car must carry a flag which will be removed after it completes its leg of the race and put on the next car. Only when the flag is on the car can the next car be sent off. Design a structure which will support as much weight as possible and which will be made of ’% x x 36 inch strips of balsa wood and glue. In competition, each team will place weights on the structure. A sec- tion of the structure must be removed after each 25 lbs. of weight is added. Mind benders such as these were tackled by the newly formed Olympics of the Mind, a team of academically gifted students. A group of five to seven students got to- gether and spent all of their spare time for months, trying to solve a problem as cre- atively as possible. Their solutions were pit- ted against other schools in county competi- tion. In addition to these long-range problems, team members were isolated in a room and asked questions such as “Name as many uses of a balloon as you can think of,” on only one to two minutes. Points were awarded on the basis of creativity of their answers. At the regional competition, the teams captured first place honors and went on to state competition where they placed fourth in the state. Mrs. Sharon Bryant coached the teams for their spontaneous competitions, while Mr. Tom Hesbach coached the teams on their projects. Ms. Irene Peters, served as sponsor and judge of regional and state competition. As Ms. Peters commented, “It strength- ened their minds and increased their abili- ties.

With all these groups like SADD and PTSA pressuring the drinking age of 21, there isn’t much partying goin’ on anymore.” In November of 1982, one of the first high schools chapters in Virginia of SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving) was es- tablished here. SADD’s purpose was to broadcast the fact that more than 50,000 people die each year in traffic accidents — half of them caused by drunken driving. In April, SADD conducted an assembly featuring Mr. William J. Spaniol, an Asso- ciate Professor from Richard Bland Col- lege. Several hundred students listened with great curiosity as Mr. Spaniol spoke on the topic ‘“Alcohol Drug Abuse and Young People.’ Mr. Spaniol’s commitment to working with young people gave him the insight to relate to his young audience. Mr. Spaniol suggested several films to better influence students and faculty to the reali- ties of drinking and driving. Though few activities were planned, the effects of SADD’s influence and informa- tion was felt by all of the student body. As one student commented, ‘‘Well, there’s al- ways the movies, putt-putt, or just hang out.

Visitors received their money’s worth as 19 club members delighted the audience with their latest fashion and swimwear apparel to the sounds of Michael Jackson, the Mary Jane Girls, and Lionel Richie. George Stone, Pam Taylor, Moni- que Smith, and special guest model Robert Vaughan depicted a formal wedding sketch with fashionable formal wear from Mit- chells and Penny’s Bridal Shop. The show was later cablecast on Storer Cable Televi- sion of Chesterfield. A Brotherhood Sweetheart Dance was sponsored to celebrate Valentines Day. 150 students paid $2.00 to dance to Anthony Terrell on the turn table and his mixture of Rap, and slow romantic music. A dance contest demonstrating the new popular craze of Breakdancing was later held. Un- derclassmen Shawn Bogan and Sean Bogle “broke out” as the winners. For Black History Month, the club invit- ed Dr. Roy West, Major of Richmond, to speak about black-white relations and how to improve them. Although there were many highlights for the club, the Spring Dance planned for May 12th was cancelled due to student apa- thy.

You felt like you hadn't slept a wink be- cause you had visions of bub- bling in answers on form 4017. What precipitate cause this un- usual dream for a high school student on a Saturday morn- ing? The Scholastic Aptitude Test. SAT’s played an important role in determining a high school students acceptance into a college. Most colleges re- quired SAT scores before appli- cations could even be consid- ered. Along with good grades and extra-curricular activities, high scores on the tests deter- 148 Seniors mined whether or not students would get into the college of their choice. Scholastic Apti- tude Tests scores were used by universities and colleges as yardsticks for admission and for scholarships. 45% of the 590 juniors and Seniors paid $11.00 to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test. The highest cumulative scores possi- ble on SAT’s was 1600 which was 800 Verbal and 800 Math. The schools average scores were 425 and 468. However, many students and teachers felt that these tests could not accurately indicate intelligence and abili- ty. Chris Miller remarked “If you didn’t get much sleep the night before, it could affect your performance on the test.” John Redmond added, ‘“‘Stu- dents have four years to prove their knowledge in high school and only one short morning to take the SAT’s.” Senior Guidance Counselor Mrs. Sandra Moore expressed, “I feel that the high record of the students is the strongest in- dicator of what a student can do.” Although the question of the SAT’s validity has lingered over the past twenty years, they have survived. SAT’s will con- tinue to be a teenager’s night- mare. “Go Away!” Promptly at 6:00 A.M. on Saturday November Sth, Lewis Whitt’s alarm buzzes to awaken him for a morning of SAT’s.

The major thought on everyones’ minds was to hit the beach. In early March decisions had been made about reservations. They had decided where to go, what was there and how much it would cost. There was a choice between Mrytle Beach or Va. Beach. Deci- sions depended on the amount of money to be spent. Choices includ- ed boardwalks, waterslides, amusement parks, and a position close to the beach. Night life selec- tions included 2001 young Vir- ginians night), Cowboys, the Pep- permint Club and Roxx’s. Soon, however, students found out that the hotel prices were rath- er steep. Holiday Inn, Blue Marlin and the Sundowner all located at Va. Beach, ranged from $40 to $130 per person. The higher priced condominiums at Mrytle Beach al- lowed more room for accomodat- ing a crowd. From the Racquet Club to Pelican’s Watch, the price rose sharply and varied from $65 to $200 per person for a week in the sun. On June 12th, graduates hur- riedly packed their clothes and trunks and filled their tanks with gas. The journey was a long one, but their dreams of reaching the beach made the entire journey worth while. a eS Under the sun.

As graduates had been for generations, they too were anx- ious to get on to a new Stage in their lives; but they were appre- hensive about what life would have in store for them. Questionnaires revealed some of the specific plans and aspirations of those other than the ones going off to college. Those graduates who did not plan on attending college, did so for many reasons. Some of them simply had no desire to attend college. Some could not afford it, and others had previously arranged plans and goals. Those plans included a wide variety of interesting ca- Robert Grant Graves Teri Ann Gravitte Class Historian 11, 12; Hi-Y 11; Keyettes 11, 12; FBLA 11; SCA 11; DECA (Historian) 12; Who’s Who.

A few stu- dents expressed a desire to con- tinue their studies at the Ches- terfield Technical Center.

Graduating was a giant step and students realized it’s mag- nitude. That was why some stu- dents chose to “sit out a year and mature a little.” “Living life to the fullest” was a goal of one graduate. Seniors faced many decisions and problems. Some were “up- tight”, while others had con- cerns that were minor, such as, Scrubby dub dub. . .

Seniors faced the reality that they were on their own and had to save money and worry about their financial situation. An emotional side to gradu- ating was growing up and real- izing that the working world did not include all of those friends from high school. On the lighter side, the Class of 1984 had many things to look forward to after June 12th. After all, there was the beach, sleeping late, partying, and en- joying life. The Class gratefully ac- knowledged that it’s graduation was it’s preparation for the commencement of it’s adult life. Seniors 157 Mark Allen Miller J.YV.

Hope Celeste Wills 162 Seniors Under Pressure A, underclassmen antici- ated the day when they would njoy the pride and prestige eniors almost always pos- essed. At a glance the senior’s ife appeared simple and care- ree. Lunch in the courtyard, lave day, and senior picnic all nade the final year in high chool more enjoyable. But, un- ortunately, there was more to ing a senior than strutting hrough the halls and soaking p the admiring looks of the aculty and student body ... auch more. Many seniors worked to pay or cars, clothes and dates. hese same seniors often par- ticipated in sports and clubs in which they frequently assumed time consuming leadership roles. Practicing until four or five o’clock in the evenings and then working until early in the mornings left little time for study. Still, it was not all of the ac- tivity that made the senior year so trying; but uncertainty and confusion. Choices had to be made about future education or vocation, decisions which deter- mincdsatmentiresliletiine, “Which college? Is life going to be nothing more than one big hassle?’’ — these questions con- tinually haunted the senior, af- fecting both sleep and temper- ment. But for most seniors there came a time when they realized that the pressures were caused more by themselves than by anything else. The early panic gave way to the realization that all would be intact after gradu- ation, that their decisions were changeable, that their lives would be just as enjoyable in the future as they had been in the past. As Senior Stuart Brum- field commented, “Somehow | think we all grew from this ex- perience.” “Tt ain’t easy.”” Academic pressure is a constant reality for all seniors, as Paul Weedon tackles problems on a Math test.

The Junior class was blessed four sets of twins. One set was identical, Dawn and Donna Hylwa and three sets were fra- ternal, Terri and Traci Kline, Amy and Lisa Knoeller and Kelly and Kris Rublee.

The dis- advantages were getting names mixed up. One set felt that they competed over guys and atten- tion, while the other three sets each agreed that competion was not a problem. (Three twins wished they were not a twin while the rest weren’t bothered by it.) Being independent is im- portant, from another point of view, Kris stated, “I feel more independent than my sister and I’ve always been the opposite of her and more outgoing to get what I want, for myself and for my future! But four twins thought being a twin made them less independent Donna states, “I feel less independent because I feel like the other one is part of me. Being identical can sometimes cause a comical or tragic situation. Donna ex- plained, “One time my _ boy- friend went up to Dawn and kissed her thinking it was me!” All four sets of twins felt their relationship with the other twin was very close. When asked how they were treated at home, seven agreed that they were treated equal while only one felt the other was favored. Being a twin can sometimes be frustrating but over all the junior twins didn’t mind having someone to share birthdays, clothes and sisterly conversa- tion with. Kevin Carr Greg Cauley 2 plus 2.

We have all caught ourselves at one ti me or another using such excuses to get out of doing something. Ina Junior Class survey, the most quoted excuse to deal with any situation was “I forgot about it!’’ When faced by parents with work to do around the house, many students replied, “But I’ve got a ton of homework!” or “T’ve already got something else to do!” “May I be excused to the res- troom?” served as a favorite es- cape from doing work in classes. The juniors also believed that “I didn’t understand” was a good reason for not having home- work completed. In addition, “I had to work late.” was popular for getting out of this tight squeeze. “50% of the students sur- veyed believed that their ex- cuses worked the best on teach- ers, while the other half thought their parents were more gulible. According to the responses, a spur of the moment excuse was the most effective for most stu- dents. Still 30% perferred a well thought out alibi. Keeping a Straight face was the key to pulling off a successful excuse. However, most students ad- mitted to giving themselves away with body language such as blushing, biting nails, and laughing at i nappropriate times. 40% of the Junior Class expressed a desire to have friends back them up, while the rest would rather do it alone. For all the working juniors, the best way to bluff the boss was to use such escuses as “Something very important came up’’, slhere sean emergency , | have an appointment”, or “I’m sick.” Once or twice all juniors have tried to pull off a snow job and had it backfire, causing embar- rassment or more trouble. One junior exclaimed ‘‘Once I skipped school and had a friend write an excuse note but he spelled my name wrong!” An- other situation experienced by many (to get out of the house when grounded) was to use a particular place as an excuse. “I’ve got to go to school for an important meeting.” However, it backfired when parents called the school and found out that it was closed. There was no meet- ing. Excuses were used by the ju- niors as a survival tactic way to keep people out of trouble and a good way to stretch the truth without feeling too guilty about it. It also showed the creative side of people. One student ex- claimed, ““Making up excuses, is just human nature.” “But my mom didn’t understand!”’ While discussing English homework, Bill Colgate explains to Mr. Rooney why his answers are so outlandish!

Every year the Junior Class had thought of new ideas to make money for the Junior Senior Prom. Oxick the year off, fund raising began with the Powder Puff Football Game along with the Q-94 gorilla. During half time was the offi- cial crowning of “Macho Man” which was captured by Junior, Chris Farmer. The football game followed with Q-94’s Ke- vin Connors rockin’ the gym. This fund raiser brought in $1,800. Junior Class sponsor Alice Harding stated, ““The Powder Puff Football Game was the most successful because it was in the fall when students were ready for fun and didn’t mind working enthusiastical- ly.” The raffle of the Homecom- ing football made $32.00. Al- though this was not as lucrative it added to the class fund. Christmas rolled around and another idea popped into the minds of the Junior Class. A poinsettia sale was put together and added approximately $75.00. As the year progressed, two more dances were brought to the attention of the students. First with the defeat of L.C. Bird, students hung around after the game to celebrate and have a good time. Second was the “Michael Jackson Dance.” It was a very profitable dance bringing in $450.00. An award was given to the best dancer and Shawn Bogan was chosen. Mrs. Harding remarked, ““We used our own students and their equipment to provide the music. With no overhead we kept all the profit for ourselves.” In April they had an Azalea sale making approximately $250.00. The final task of the year was the bake sale. Goodies and cakes were made and drinks were prepared. The Juniors pulled in $25.00 to add to the account. Over all, an amount of ap- proximately $2,680 was made iropreali the fund raisers throughout the year. The Ju- niors were satisfied and the Prom was a total success.

They were identical twins who felt as if they we “mirror images” of each other. They both agreed that having a twin had advantages as well as certain drawbacks. “Something that really up- sets me,” said Tammi “‘is that people sometimes compare us. We both have completely oppo- site personalities.” They had two different opin- lions, however, about their names being mixed up. While | found it terribly embarrassing, Tawni said, it didn’t really mat- ter, she sometimes even an- swered to both. 174 Sophomores Tammi felt like there was a certain amount of competition, mostly for their friends. She felt as if their friends often threat- ened them as one person. The only time they recalled wishing they were not twins was when they began to date. Tawni remarked, “I feel like if some- one can't go out with one of us, hell simply ask the other.” As close as these two twins are, they didn’t feel less inde- pendent because they are a twin, they still argue, and they like being two totally separate individuals.

It was difficult to create the attire worn 300,000 years ago. Finding willing seamstresses and tailors to sew these bulky costumes was not an easy task. The cavemen’s outfits wwere made of artificial mammoths wool and the cavewomen’s, of imitation tiger skin. There were few problems en- countered building the float it- self. ““We were very fortunate that we didn’t run into many problems building the float. I think the biggest problem was getting the wood to build the float,” said Lauri Evans, Vice- President of the sophomore class. With the use of Mr. Art Kelly’s(Artie’s father) garage for three weeks, and everyone’s determination to stay on top of the competition between the classes, the float turned out to be a winner. As Karen Keene said, “It was fun riding on the float. It felt good knowing we build the whole thing and it turned out to be a success.” April Green Valerie Gregory Ray Grenke Lori Griggs Jeff Grow Kelly Guidry Lisa Gwynne Steve Hall Tom Hall Mike Hamilton Travis Hardy Frederica Hargrove Jeffery Hare Thomas Harlow Robin Harold Judy Harris Cheryl Harvey Sandy Harvey Randy Hatch Francis Hatch Michael Hawkins Tammy Healy Cathe Hendrickson Christopher Hester Keith Hicks Kirk Higginbotham Susan Holder Sharon Holloway Craig House Michelle Houtz Kenneth Hudgins Debbie Hughes Kim Hughes John Ickes Deborah Inge Royal Inge Carla Irving Billie Jo Jackson Traci Jefferson Lisa Jenkins Shelly Johnson Carlisse Jones Sophomores Jason Jones Kathy Jones Liz Jones Michael Jones Kevin J.

Well, you’re constantly cracking your knuckles, cussing, and tapping your pen and that’s to say noth- ing about your table manners.” Il students had habits. Some habits were obvious while others were not. Some were good habits but others could be annoying. Sophomores, sur- veyed on this subject showed their perceptiveness when asked if they noticed other peoples’ habits. 75% were alert to other people’s quirks while 25% were oblivious to them. The habits that were nost noticeable were: nail biting, smoking, twirling hair, tapping pen, nose picking, knuckle cracking and foot tap- ping, just to name a few. Friends had the most annoy- ing habits followed closely by brothers, fathers, sisters, moth- ers, teachers and neighbors. One girl remarked about a friend, “He is constantly smell- ing his armpits.” Fathers were observed ‘Eating noisely’’, “spitting” and “Not admitting when wrong.” Brothers, “cough to annoy me” “plays with his ear and “hums while he eats.” Sisters were criticized for being chronic “pains” and “hogging the bathroom.” Most sophomores were self- critical when discussing their own annoying habits. Although 40% didn’t admit to having any habits. The ones who did have habits have some interesting ones. A lot like to “hit on desk” “bite pens, fingernails and lips; clear throat, and act stupid”. One person remarked “‘I get the urge to burp in peoples’ ears.” One sadistic person giggled, ‘‘] like to kill mice, every time I see a mouse I try to kill it.” A very self-assured person boasted, “I’m cool, I don’t tap pens. etc.” Good habits among sopho- mores ranged from being polite, punctual, studying regularly, having good hygiene, smiling and cleaning their rooms. Bad habits included unth- oughtfulness, biting nails, pick- ing noses, talking back to par- ents, procrastination, drinking alcohol, lying and cursing. An insomniac yawned, “I think sleeping is a bad habit.” Trying to get rid of a bad habit was something that was not so easy to do. Most would just stop doing it “cold turkey”. This approach may be too hard for some, who would do it through self-control and deter- mination. Others believe that being aware of them helps or getting your mind off of them. Someon e said, “practice good habits” while another believes he should “‘start new (bad) hab- its.” A few people remarked, “‘] don't”. The masacistic among us gave us the advice to “kill yourself.” Habits, something we all have. Maybe they can be an- noying to others but aren’t what they make us who we are? Don't they make us individuals with his her own personality character and idiosyncrasies. Sa Thinking hard! Unconsciously biting her pencil, Twila Davis comes to grips with a grammar problem.

It was for sopho- mores, who were surveyed on the topic of borrowing the fam- ily car. Getting a license was a very important event in the lives of sophomores. For some, the li- cense was a sign of maturity, the first stage of entering the adult world and of gaining an air of importance. For others, it meant the freedom to go to places and do things. But for all it meant responsibility. In April, sophomores gave a variety of answers for what it meant to them to get a license: from “Nothing really” to “I don't have to bother my parents for a ride anymore.” “By hav- ing a license, I can get help fas- ter in an emergency.” The gen- eral consensus was, “It means independence, to be able to drive when you want.” 80% of the people surveyed planned to own their own cars. Most would pay with earnings from a job and with savings. Some lucky individuals would receive cars from their parents. A few would get loans. Of the 20% who planned to use their parents cars, most could have it any time they needed it. But there were those who hardly ever got the car. As one person complained, “I never get to use the car at all.” It was 60-40 split between students-parents paying for gas. The average person spent $20 a week for fuel. A few students only spent $5 and there was the drive-a-holic who quipped “I spent $35 a week on gas.” The same 60-40 split existed on the staggering insurance premi- ums. Students again carried the larger burden.

This was how Webster’s New World Dictionary defined curfews, but for 76 out of 113 sophomores with curfews, (who were always or sometimes late for them) this six-letter word had another meaning — trouble. The two most popular punshiments for breaking a curfew were getting yelled at by parents, and sor a shortened curfew.

The average curfew time on Friday and Sat- urday night’s was between 12:00 and 12:30 A.M. On week- days and Sunday’s, 10:00 P.M. was the average curfew time. When asked who set the cur- few in the family, 55% of the students said both mother and father, 35% said just mother, and only 10% said just father. The question receiving the largest majority was, Which do you feel has the earlier curfew- males or females?’ Girls re- sponded with 96% earlier cur- fews for girls and only 4% for boys. The boys’ responses were somewhat the same with 86% voting for an earlier curfew for girls and 14% for boys. One fe- male sophomore who did not agree with the results stated “Girls like to have as much fun as guys.” But males had their grips too. “On a date, the boy has to get the girl home before her curfew, then make it home before his,” complained one male sopho- more. Everyone surveyed but 2% said they feel girls and boys should have the same curfew. “Tm not really for E.R.A., but there are certain things a girl and guy should be equal on. One of which is a curfew,” ex- plained Sophomore Sue Ann Lundberg. “See ya later Mom, I’ll be home early.” “Alright dear!

However, there was a divided opinion about the “pleasures” of being a fresh- man. For some, it was their hardest year, but many will always remember it as a new experience as well as a new beginning. Even with the divided opinion, the majority agreed that they were eager to be- come a sophomore. Fresh- men class officers Dena McWilliams and Cheryl Temple agreed, “Our fresh- men year was lots of fun but we are ready to be sopho- mores.” Nearly 60% of the fresh- man believed that being in sixth grade was totally dif- ferent from ninth grade even though one is the youngest in both “Definitely told Christa Peters, ““We have alot more freedom in high school than we did in junior high school.” About 50% of these fresh- men felt as if the upperclass- men looked down upon them but they also felt like it would be worth it all when they, themselves would have Amy Dixon the same privilege in their senior year. They all agreed that they would rather be in high school because they were able to go out more often and they may have been consid- ered more mature.

There were many more older sisters than older brothers, and one set of twins in the class. One-third of the freshmen surveyed with older siblings got along better at home than at school, but a quarter 186 Freshmen EAPO ANNE AP HNESTETARNNR of the students felt being at school was easier. The other freshmen surveyed had the opinion that they got along the same, or that they couldn't tolerate their sibling either place! Of the 75 freshmen who have an older brother or sis- ter, 33% were pressured by their parents to get grades equal to the marks of their siblings. The majority of the parents were understanding and as one girl commented, “They expect me to do only the best [can:” According to the survey, there were many complaints among freshmen concerning siblings: ranging from being compared with them, meet- ing teacher expectations, liv- ing up to their sibling’s repu- tation, to being bothered by the older sibling, having peo- ple say how much you look alike, and being tattled on by the sibling. The biggest peeve about having an older relative at the same school was walking in the elder’s shoes. “Every- one expects me to be like my older sisters,” was a common complaint. The comparisons that inevitably occurred, caused much anger for the younger siblings. One boy made the point, “I don’t like people comparing us, be- cause we're two totally dif- ferent people.” The student who had an uncanny resemblance to his or her sibling were often called the wrong name, or worse, the younger sibling was referred to as “the little sister brother: of = eeeas one girl reflected, “instead of just being me.” A problem also arose if things were going on that the freshman would rather not have their parents find out about. Asa boy explained, “I don’t want them to know what I’m doing.” In addition there were those who dis- liked “sharing” the school. This was expressed by a stu- dent who felt his brother was “always in the way.” Despite all of the negative aspects many students found OF MONARCH it a definite advantage to have an older sibling. “They can help you with your homework,” was one benefit realized by a girl. Borrowing clothes was common among girls, which meant twice the wardrobe for the same price! Another didn’t mind her brother because, as she stat- ed, “I’ve met a lot of people through him.” Even though the other sib- lings were thought to be as asset, the survey showed that only 30% of the freshmen as- sociated with their older sib- lings at school. There were some that had the same friends and even walked around with tbeir older counterparts. Being a younger brother or sister could be annoying at times, but really wasn’t that bad as the freshmen found out. “Is that your sister?

Write Backs Loves ie her oes this letter sound like one of yours? In a fresh- men class survey, 75% of the students said they write at least one letter a day to one of their friends. Why? Brid- gette Robertson explained, “Most of the time it’s be- cause my Close friends are in different classes and I don’t have time to talk to them.” Boredom has a lot to do with it also. Kim Smith added, “Usually I write just to say hello, sometimes to make plans.’ According to the sur- vey the most popular type of letter was a friendly one, love letters were the second most frequently written. More girls wrote letters then boys. One freshman boy put it this way, “Girls are always writ- ing me letters. I like that but | never write back and they still keep sending me notes.” Almost all of the Fresh- men who responded to the Survey reported that they write notes after they do Stanley Hobbs Robert Hogwood Margaret Hoover Jeff Horton Rooney Houston Jon Howe Lionel Howell Monica Hudgins Kathy Hudson Susan Huffman Mark Hunter Tim Inge Jennifer Irving Charlene Izquierdo Arvin Jackson Stacy Jackson Freshmen their classwork. Cheree Jen- kins commented, “Only if someone asks me an impor- ant question do I write them a letter before doing my homework.” Writing letters in class annoyed teachers for obvious reasons, primarliary because it distracted them from classtime learning Cin- dy Burton added, ““Some- times they post it on a bulle- tin board in the class or throw it away.” “It seems to be a fad with the 9th grade this year,’ quipped Mrs. Bowles,” It shows me that they are immature and irre- sponsible.’’ Mr. Dexter laughingly stated “‘I read them occasionally, they area learning experience.” Notes also got students in trouble with other students. The most reoccuring bad exper- ience was the situation where someone read the note when it was not intended for them. One freshman commented, “Once my little sister found a note in my purse which she had no business going through in the first place. Anyway the nosey brat read it out loud to my mother. Needless to say there was some stuff in that note that didn’t thrill her. I was grounded for a week. Funny thing was my little sister didn’t understand half the words she read and kept ask- ing my mother to explain them to her.” Writing letters in class was typical activity of every- day life in high school.

It is said everybody has a twin, but Freshmen Lynne and Leigh Hester know the feeling first- hand. hey are fraternal twins, which means they don’t look alike, but share the same genet- ic makeup. Both Lynne and Leigh felt that being a twin was a special experience because not many people have a twin, and they love it. There are many advantages to being a twin, such as being able to “‘share clothes, have twice as many friends, and al- ways have someone to go places with.” Leigh thought “if we were identical, we could have the same boyfriend.” The most important advantage to Lynne and Leigh was that they would always have a friend, someone who understands them. As Lynne stated, ““We are best friends and very close sisters, we know we can count on each pina hance ' other.” The only disadvantages that the girls had wasn’t among themselves, but that other peo- ple had the misconception that just because they were twins they would be alike. They are physically alike in size and hair color, but their personalities are very different. Lynne likes sports and Leigh enjoys her studies. According to twins their par- ents didn’t play favorites, and they treated Lynne and Leigh equally. Neither believed that being a twin made them less indepen- dent. As Leigh commented, ‘People don’t want to mix us together so they treat us as indi- viduals.” Lynne felt, “We al- ways the option of going places together or with our friends.” Although they don’t look alike, people did manage to mix them up because their names are so similar. They were used to it now and Lynne laughs at it, unless she’s in a bad mood. There was little competition between them, except in play- ing J.V. basketball, where their competitive edge came out. Lynne had a very unusual ex- perience as a result of having a sibling of the exact same age. One night when she was at a friends house she thought some- thing had happened to Leigh. She called home and found out that her sister wasn't feeling well and soon got very ill. “Just a sense I had told me something was wrong, was how Lynne ex- plained knowing her sister was sick. Even if the idea of being a twin isn’t appealing, or if the world isn't ready for two of you, some people don’t mind being a twin. Leigh and Lynne had no regrets, and neither wished that they could change and just be regular sisters. “I think it’s very special,’ stated Leigh, and Lynne summed up the feelings of them both by remarking, “I love being a twin!” My buddy.

Freshman, Leigh Crumpler gins brightly showing off her braces while in the library. shouldn’t hurt I’m just going to look at your teeth.” In a Freshmen class survey, 85% said they were nervous. Well then, ifthey thought it was going to be so bad, why were they there? Almost half of the 9th graders reported that they made the decision for braces. About one fourth said it was the dentist's idea, and the rest had parents who felt their children needed braces. The reasons why varied, however most were for cosmetic or overbite correc- lions. According to the sur- vey, the average time for wear- ing braces was two years. The ost depended upon the length of time, from around $900 to 52600. “The worst thing about hem was getting them tight- ened. “My teeth still hurt two days later,” quoted one pathetic student. When asked about be- ng teased, most freshmen felt he same way, “No one really 1otices them. Neil Vaughan re- lied,” Mine are only on the yottom, so they’re not that nuch of a big deal.” Freshman also believed that the attitude of wearing braces in the high school years has changed. As braces become more and more common and more widely available in the fu- ture the stigma of wearing them might fade away. “They might be a pain, but a great smile is worth it.” As you left the office, smil- ing, with your new mettalic mouth, “they're not as bad as | thought they would be,” you told yourself as you ran your tongue across your teeth. “All of that anxiety was a waste.” Shine, Shine.

It was called Morale and Attitude Development, other- wise known as MAD. MAD was organized by In- dustrial Arts teacher, Milo Beckner to give the teachers a chance to release pressures and anxieties in the friendly compe- tition of volleyball. As Mr. Battle won, nobody lost! After school on a Friday afternoon, Carl Wood, Bar- bara Bowles, Jim Walker, student James Ball, unwind from a week of work by playing a relaxing game of vol- leyball. Beckner affirmed, “MAD was intended to promote faculty so- cialization and to encourage mental and physical exercise.” Music teacher, Earl Binns agreed. “After a long day of in- struction, our attitudes can be aimed at fun and enjoyment.” Every Monday night, Tues- day and Friday afternoons, a group as small as four or as large as fifteen spiked, set-up, bumped and served. Not only did the faculty compete with each other, but often students, spouses and friends joined in on the fun. There were some dubi- ous advantages derived from MAD. “Sore muscles, broken glasses, etc.,”’ said Science teacher Carl Wood. “Students see us in a differ- ent light than instructors when playing. We see students in a new or different setting. It’s good for our perspectives.” English teacher, Mrs. Barbara Bowles remarked, “It is deligh- ful to discover the humor and wit of colleagues you usually perceive only in a business like manner.” Although they may have looked crazy jumping, laugh- ing, and spiking a big rubber ball, there was a “method to their madness’’. It was a healthy way to deal with the maddening pressures of school life. Take that! English teacher, Alice Har- ding puts in a winning serve at one of the MAD volleyball games, on Tuesday afternoon.

And we all knew it was to provide a means of open debate about school issues between the parents and teachers. For the first time since 1963, the idea for a parent-teacher- student association came to life with new principal, Mr. Kent Walker. Not only did the idea include having a PTA but even better, a PTSA which would in- clude parents, teachers and stu- dents. The function of the PTSA ac- COrdine t0eMr Als Lemple, President of the committee, was to provide “an avenue of more effective communication among parents, students, and teachers.” What started out with a few posters and catchy slogans at the beginning of the year turned into a major campaign. Princi- pal, Mr. Kent Walker wrote to many students, parents, and teachers urging them to join. “A strong PTSA,” he said, “‘is an invaluable help to a school because it involves the commu- nity in the education process.” Out of 300 people that showed up for the meeting on September b2,51983, 293 agreed to enroll. When asked why she got in- volved, Miss Priscilla Barth, an English teacher and presently second Vice-President of the or- ganization claimed, “I wanted to contribute something to the school and community. I was also very honored that I was asked to join.” She continued, “The time in- volved with being a member is not as bad as everyone seems to think. Usually they meet once a month every other month with the meetings lasting one to three hours.” The PTSA has sponsored some activities. Many dealt with the issues of peer pressure, academic pressure and rapidly approaching adulthood and its accompanying responsibilities. The first program featured was “The Rights Of Parents, Teachers, and Students in the Classroom.” The guest speak- ers included, Dr. William Bost of VCU, Dr. Frank Cain, Assis- tant Superintendent of Chester- field County Schools, and Mr. Homer Garr, Co-ordinator of Discipline. Another meeting concerned the new standards of credits in Virginia and Chesterfield County Schools where Dr. Rob- ert Jewel, Superviser of Secon- dary Schools accreditation and Mrs. Dot Jones, Superviser of Secondary Guidance spoke. The most controversial issue however was the one concerning students, parties, alcohol, and the law, where the Honorable Judge John Thomas gave an in- credible speech. The stormy weather on January 30th didn’t stop the 185 people that showed up and surprisingly enough many of them were teenagers. As quoted by Rex Springston in the Richmond News Leader, “ “Judging by the cases he’s sees in court, Thomas said marijuana use by youngsters had declined but drinking is up. “I am seeing more and more (teenage alcoholics) in court,’ Thomas told the audi- ence. Teens also found that they could be liable without taking a sip of beer. “Parents don’t need to worry about search warrants PTSA Executive Committee Front Row: Mr. Aubrey Baird, President, Music Boosters; Mrs. Ann Christopher, Legis- lature; Mrs. Glenda Tample, Publicity; Mrs. Kathy Legat, Ist Vice-President; Mrs. Connie Capps, Hospitality; Vicki Sinsel, Sophomore Representative; Stu- art Brumfield, Senior Representative; Robert Rogers, Freshman Representa- tive; Mr. Al Temple, President.

Mrs. Rita Intrevado Root if they think their children have been hiding drugs,’ Thomas said... Parents“aren ty police, They can be tyrants if they want.” The PTSA has definitely done a great deal in its first year. Just imagine what it can do in the years to come. But then you may ask“How does it really benefit the school? Well, according to Mr. Al Temple, through the PTSA parents, stu- dents and teacher can share ideas and information, whether it deals with academics, athlet- ics, extra curricular activities, eiCes Mrs. Connie Capps, Mrs. Glenda Temple, and Mrs. Kathy Legat, three of the six parents who prepared a Buffet Luncheon for teachers on the last day of school were asked why they joined. “Being in- volved brings us closer to what my children are doing at school,” was the general con- sensus. Student members gave sug- gestions on how to improve the PTSA. More concern and in- volvement was the answer most received. Stuart Brumfield, a senior PTSA member, had a few suggestions to the new stu- dent members. “Don’t let the adults run over you. Be more than a token member of the board. It does not involve a lot of time or effort so take the PTSA seriously for the pro- gram is designed for the PTSA. Though there was an encour- aging turnout for the first year, the PTSA could use more voices to help them make decisions. As Mr. Kent Walker said, ““Every- one has a choice.” “So why not make the right one? Help your- self and your school by joining a highly successful and beneficial organization of the PTSA.” Sitting Proudly.

Administrators, office personnel, guidance, cus- todians and cafeteria workers were the heart that kept the fundamental parts of the school running smoothly. Administrators and teachers were here from 7:00 to 3:00 each day and sometimes longer. Principal Kent Walker, Assis- tant Principals Wayne Wilson and Don Kelly were always around when needed. They were seen at all extracurricular activities cheering on our teams along with the students. ATtereo years eres 7 sst3 Principal, Wayne Wilson will move to Midlothian Middle as Asst. Principal. He will be re- membered for his ‘Phil Dono- hue” look, and his serene and refined manner with students and faculty. telephone. But where did everyone turn when they needed a paper typed or something zeroxed? Of course, the secretaries were al- ways ready to answer many questions and the ever-ringing telepbone. Mrs. Thelma Grizzard came in the fall of 1970. She typed for the assistant principals along “Another one?” Mrs. Thelma Grizzard tackles the mound of paperwork that occupies her desk daily. “Pll take this one.” During her planning period Evelyn Avery samples one of the many breakfast delicaccies prepared by Mrs. Glennis Cooke. 200 Behind the Scenes with taking care of and coun t- ing money. When asked what she thought of her job she said, “T lovent™ Mrs. Flo Taylor has been with the school for twenty years and took care of the bookkeep- ing, mainly, as well as typing for the principal. She also loves her job and working with Mrs. Grizzard. ‘““We’re always kid- ding around and joking.”, she said. For example, Thelma and Flo once gave the new staff members a welcome they would never forget. They told the staff that there was to be an egg hunt and ended up sending them ona wild goose chase that would have everyone laughing in the end. Whoever said all work and no play was essentially wrong! The secretaries could not sur- vive without the help of the teachers’ aides. Mrs. Toni Daw- son took care of attendance while Mrs. Sherri Gallagher and Mrs. Cathy Troch typed and ran off materials. Mrs. Glo- ria Blake was in charge of the clinic and dismissals. After seven years Mrs. Jack- ie Kaye, as library clerk, left to move to Florida. She provided valuable services to the librar- ians and was highly regarded by faculty and students. Who did we turn to when there was a problem? For aca- demics there were Mrs. Joyce Bostick and Mr. William Sind- linger who split the job of coun- seling ninth and eleventh grad- ers. Mrs. Linda DeTreville took care of the tenth graders and Mrs. Sandra Moore could be seen with the seniors. They were all supported by Mrs. Martha Rodgers who made sure every- one did their job. And what ex- actly was their job? They helped the students with class selection and school related concerns. On another level, school psy- chologists Mr. Tom Bunce and Dr. Pam Oksman advised on personal matters. Without the watchful eye of Mrs. Mildred Jones, the school nurse many student ailments would have gone unattended. A very special person that has left the school scene was Mrs. Pearl Fisher. She retired after eighteen years of much hard and dedicated work. Along with the other eight members of the custodial staff kept everything spotless. She brought a ray of sunshine into every teacher’s room. At the faculty’s last meeting of the year, they surprised her with a new set of luggage. “I just couldn't hold back the tears,” she said. “I loved working here with the students and faculty. The people here are great!” The cafeteria workers were also always on the go to make sure everyone got nutritious meals. Mrs. Glennis Cooke has managed the cafeteria for thir- teen years. She enjoyed serving spaghetti because it was the stu- dents’ favorite. In addition, she made special breakfasts con- sisting of homemade biscuits, cinnamon buns, quiche, and sour cream coffee cake for the faculty on in-service days. Each and every one of the ad- ministrators, office personnel, guidance, cafeteria, and custo- dians were a very important part of the school and helped by contributing their time and ef- fort to keep the school running smoothly.
