Programming A Change Academics keyed into a new attendance policy, extended computer us- age and initiating ESL students. t was a year of change throughout Academics. The major transfor- mation was the advent of a new attendance policy. Seven teach- ers enforced a new program, which mandated, if a student missed more than 5 days that were not made up after school, the student’s grade would be affected. Teachers stressed teaching methods that en- couraged more discussion rather than strict book work. Guest speak- ers from Russia, China, Zambia, Gha- na, South Africa etc. spoke to stu- dents in Mrs. Barbara Winston’s ge- ography class and opened the minds of many students to international di- plomacy. IWE, ICT and DE students worked at such places as Ukrops, The Medi- cal Center or Spa Lady while some students learned marketable job skills by spending half of the day at ‘Tech. Behind the leadership of the new drama teacher, Miss Priscilla Barth, the drama department was rebuilt by emphasizing skills in communica- tions and self-esteem. Performances consisted of small mime productions acted out for English classes, Miss Meadowbrook and Battle of the Bands. The changing fashion scene was well represented by the fashion mer- chandising classes through fashion shows in the cafeteria and field trips to New York. Field trips were also taken to Italy, France, Switzerland, Washington D.C., The Virginia Muse- um, James River Park and The Swift Creek Mill Playhouse by foreign lan- guage, history, English 11, gym and drama students. Computers played a vital role in modernizing education. Each depart- ment received its own computer as well as the office, the library and the guidance department. | English as a Second Language stu- dents adapted well to their new sur- roundings in America by learning a new culture and language and shar- ing theirs with us.

Most had started to partially or completely use a variety of teaching methods, rather than strict bookwork and homework. Although most had not abandoned textbooks, more and more were using discussion periods with question and an- swer learning. ‘| lecture sparsely, preferring large and small group discus- sions with question and answer teaching’’, said English teacher Mrs. Fran Boswell. This feeling was shared by a lot of teachers, but many other approaches to Making it Perfect.

There was wide spread use of audio-visual aids in all classes. Overhead projectors were used in geometry and pre-calculus classes. Mrs. Karen Schaefer said that she used such objects as: oranges, rolls of paper tow- els and tape measures in some of her lectures. Audio-visual aids were used in many other classes to make ordindary classroom activities more inter- esting. In foreign language classes emphasis on culture was evi- dent. Foreign food days and fes- tivals were common, providing Food for Thought. In homeconomics class, Stephanie Moore puts the finish- ing touches on her chocolate cake.

Students received wide spread exposure in many areas with the help of guest speakers. No one did more project and hands-on work than those stu- dents in the home economics and business classes. Business classes did hands-on job pro- grams, along with occupational and job analysis reports. Some classes were conducted as busi- ness meetings to enhance the self awareness activities and budgeting programs. Quest speakers were abundant in the home economics classes, which heard speakers on child abuse, single parent life, inde- pendant living and even toy safety. Activities included pie and cake parties, teas, field trips on the selection of china and crystal, and their most pop- ular activities, fashion shows and the mock wedding. These were all used to help students see more tangible uses for their education. Teaching moved away from strict textbook learning, and switched to personal and group discussions. As, choral teacher, Mr. Earl Binns said, ‘‘Student participation is important, and teacher interaction must take place with the group and indi- viduals.’ All of this helped to make classroom activities a lit- tle more exciting and enjoyable for all.

These stu- dents took courses entitled IWE, ICT or DE: These: pro- grams prepared students for the world of work. The coordinators for IWE (In- dustrial Work Experience) were Mr. Howard Lewis and Mrs. Margaret Johnson. This pro- gram helped students develop skills for employment, such as personal skills, mathematical skills and communication skills. Mr. Lewis had 34 students in his program. Students’ hourly wage was $3.50 and they worked a total of 15-30 hours. They made over $70,000, and A new look. At Utility Industries Inc., Mike Corp sands and repaints a truck. Finally a Rest!

The students had to work a mini- mum of 15 to 40 hours a week and received between $3.35 to $5.00. The 33 students in her program worked 25,481 hours and earned $99,992. The ICT Student-of-the-Year was given to Angie Bowles. The coordinators for DE (Marketing and Distributive Education) were Ms. Donna Wainscott and Mr. Harold Saunders. They had a total of 125 students in their programs. DE students worked a total of 15-40 hours a week and made $3.35 to $5.75. They totalled $151,000.00 for 17,000 hours of work. The Outstanding Marketing Award went to Eddie Hankins for Advanced Marketing Award; to Archie Spencer for Marketing II and to Peggy Bor- ron for Fundamentals of Mar- keting. Ms. Wainscott commented, “Every DE student did very well and I’m proud of them.” On May 30, the IWE, ICT and DE Employer-Employee Ban- quet was held at the Meadow- brook Country Club. The ban- quet honored both the employ- ers and the student employees. Awards for outstanding job per- formances were given at this event. In addressing those present at the banquet, Principal Kent Walker summed up, ‘‘The coop- erative effort between employer and employee brings the com- munity and the school closer to- gether. By working cooperative- ly, both employer and employ- ee gain. The employer has the opportunity to develop future competent workers while the student employee benefits from the job experience for future use.” Proud of it.

Some students travelled to the Chesterfield Technical Center to receive an- other type of education. At the Center, students were taught skills that will be useful in their lives after high school. They had the choice of many occupa- tional prepatory courses such as: cosmetology, auto mechan- ics, carpentry, photography, electronics, etc. Every school day, the stu- dents travelled by bus to the Center, which is located near Bird High School. They spent one half of a school day, either morning or afternoon, prepar- ing for future jobs. Survey results, of the stu- dents who attended the Tech Center, indicated that 50% were enrolled in cosmetology; 20% in data processing and the remain- ing students worked with food services, carpentry and com- mercial photography. Eighty percent of the Tech students felt that the time they spent at the center prepared them for their future occupa: tions. Sixty-five percent of the survey responses indicated that they would pursue the line of work that deals with what they studied at the Technical Center. Even though the afternoon Tech students felt left out of afternoon activities, they thought that they received more benefits from the training they got at the center. Marie Miller said, ‘The time at Tech was a special activity to me.” The students were equally di- vided as to their preference be- tween morning and afternoon Tech. The students that attend- ed in the morning liked this time because they did not miss aftei- noon activities. The afternoon Tech students liked the air con- ditioning at the center on hot days and ending the day on a more relaxed note. The Tech students had var- ious opinions about what could Students were trained for future occupations at (GANG, be done to improve the center. Suggestions included improv- ing the food and getting back the smoking area. They also said, ‘‘The center is just what you make it.” The students that attended the Technical Center spent a half of a day, every school day, learning skills that they will be able to use for the rest of their lives. They were taught to be mechanics, carpenters, hair dressers, photographers or any- thing else that they wished to be. The Chesterfield Technical Center was an important part of the education of every student who attended. There they were trained for jobs and prepared to face their futures. —_ The Real Thing!

The most impor- tant thing that the drama stu- dents learned was self-esteem, respect for others, communica- tion and especially how to pre- sent themselves. About forty students, from the two drama classes, partici- pated in several performances. Setting the Scene. The living manne quins: Kedrin Flowers and Brian Brom- seth are set in place by James Nelson. 18 Drama These included a mime show, for both school classes and at the Miss Meadowbrook Pag- eant, and a live video perfor- mance at the Battle of the Bands. A few major problems hin- dered the drama classes’ perfor- mances. When the drama coach left in 1984, the drama club disbanded. Miss Barth took over teaching the drama classes and began rebuilding. Facial Readiness.

The flooring in the audi- torium came up when it was flooded. All the tile had to be removed and recarpeting was done. The stage floor was sand- ed and re-varnished. The light- ing system still created prob- lems. Despite these problems, the — Rush interest level in drama was high- er. Class enrollment continued to grow.

Bloom- ingdale’s in Rockville, Maryland was one of the many places where students shopped. Other excursions were to the Tali Girl Fashion Show at Downtown Thalhimers and to New York's Garment District. According to Ms. Donna Wainscott, Fashion Merchan- dising teacher, ‘‘Students worked very hard on Fashion Shows.”’ They kicked off the school year with a Fall fashion show. “Treats to Trick’’ was the theme of the Halloween fashion show held in the cafete- ria during all lunches. Students wore clothing from Foxmoor’s and Mitchell's. Using balloons to brighten up the cafeteria, the ‘Spring Into Reminiscing. The fashion merchandis- ing showcase, “Look Into The Past,”’ was displayed in the senior hall. 20 Fashion Merchandising Theory and prac- tice came togeth- er in retail and sales as fashion students dressed to thrill. Fashion’ show featured fash- ions from Foxmoor, Whitney's and Hip Pocket. If they were not taking field trips or working on shows, they were in class working. Areas that were studied were; Trends in Fashion, Self-Development, Job Interview Skills, Develop- ment of Fashion as an Industry, Product Knowledge (Men’s Wear and Women’s Wear), and Fashion Promotion. Ms. Wains- cott assigned projects to help re-inforce and give realistic ex- perience of the subject matter being studied. Samantha Sims, was singled out by Ms. Wainscott as the most outstanding fashion mar- keting student. She was a su- pervisor of Bradlees and will at- tend V.C.d. majoring in fashion.

For only $1100 those seeking a wide variety of Europe went on the trip to England, Switzer- land, Germany and France. Hours after departure from Dulles, the students were in England. The twenty-one par- ticipants were ready for tour after tour including such sights as Big Ben. St. Pauls Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. Then to Geneva, Switz. and on to Lu- cerne. In Germany they saw Strasbourg and then moved onto France. In Paris they vis- ited the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel Tower. Before head- ing home the group made a quick stop in Chartes, France. A few of Mrs. Hawthorne's Latin students traveled to Italy and Greece over spring break. They say many of the ancient cities of Europe, including Ath- ens, Rome, Delphi and Pompeii. While in Rome they saw the crew of the American ‘‘Today”’ show and got the autographs of Bryant Gumbel and Jane Pau- ley. The students traveled with a group of students from Bird H.S. because Mrs. Hawthorne was not able to attend due toa broken arm. Within our own country, sev- eral Geography classes trav- elled to our nations capital, Washington D.C. There they ob- served the National Geographic Museum, The Smithsonian Mu- seum of Natural History and the National Zoo. The trip which included eighty-four students at a cost of $11 each was a great success according to Mrs. Barbara Win- ston, the leader. The purpose of the field trip was, “‘to enhance the student's knowledge of their national capital, see his- torical sights, to review geo- graphical information and to Seeing the Sights.

Mi- chelle Shultz said, ‘‘l enjoyed seeing the White House and the place where President Regan was shot.” Twenty of Mrs. Fran Bos- well’s A.P. English students also went to Washington D.C. to see Cyrano de Beregerac at the Kennedy Center and Man and Superman at a theater in the round. ‘“‘The purpose of the trip was to expose the students to places of social and historical significance,’’ said Mrs. Bos- well. Narice Bowman's home eco- nomics class received some cooking experience when they went to the Magic Pan at Regen- cy Square. There they learned how to make crepes and eat their creations. Drama classes were led by Mrs. Barth to the Swift Creek Mill Playhouse and the Virginia Center for the Performing Arts to experience live theater, to ex- pand the student's culture and to gain tips on acting. Mrs. Mary Jo Lux’s English classes went to the Virginia Mu- seum Theater to see A Rasin in the Sun. The two hundred stu- dents observed the play after studing it in class. Mrs. Lee's advanced P.E. classes played nine holes of golf as a follow up to a class unit. They also traveled to an actual raquetball court and to the James River Park to go repel- ling down the cliffs. For many, students time spent at out-of-the-classroom activities was as academic as time spent in school. It was defi- nitely more exciting. Students continue to learn and exper- ience such things as live theater and see important historical and educational sights by see- ing the world on FIELD TRIPS. Field Trips 23 Syntax Error Line 30.

The office was completely automated. Principal, Mr. Walker and assis- tant Principal, Mr. Kelly could often be found in front of their computers, checking student records or keeping up with school inventory. The library provided teachers and students with an additional computer re- source. EMR LD students made extensive use of the com- puter in the library. The guidance department ac- quired the G.I.S. (Guidance In- formation System) which helps students with future planning. Some teachers began to use computers to record grades. As 24 Computers English teacher, Mrs. Mary Jo Lux pointed out. A survey on the impact of the computer wave was given to students, faculty and adminis- trators. Seventy-two percent of the people surveyed had some type of experience with a com- puter. Of those with computer experience, 37% primarily used it to play games; 22% to do homework, 22% programming; with additional uses of filing, teaching, etc. Ninety-nine people respond- ing owned some type of a home computer. Models owned ranged from Apple Il, Il+, Ilc, lle; IBM; PC and PCjr.; TRS 80 to Atari, Vic 20 and Adam. Computers affected people in many different ways. It helped one student by, ‘‘keep- ing my dad busy and off my back.” It also, “‘provides organi- zation and acts as a problem solver,’’ said a teacher. Computers made some lives easier but made others more dif- ficult. Advantages in having a computer were cited as: “‘great games’, ‘solves difficult prob- lems,” ‘‘no paperwork,” saves time,’ and of course, ‘‘fun!”’ Disadvantages included: ‘‘ex- pensive,’ everything ruined with small error,’ ‘“‘takes a while to learn,’ and “‘it doesn’t let you think for yourself.” Sixty-five percent of the peo- ple who had never used a com- puter would like to because “it’s the future,” or ‘“‘they’re in- teresting,’ or ‘‘it might help to get a better job.” People who had no exper- ience with a computer were asked how they felt about the The school “hung 10” on a sea of technology. expanding uses of computer in our culture. Responses were split between, ‘‘So far it’s okay,” and ‘I don’t like it be- cause people will depend on machines instead of them- selves.” Every aspect of school life from academics to sports was affected by computers. Modern technology has worked its mag- ic in the classroom, first with the TV and now with the com- puter. Computers’ efficiency and speed will continue to af- fect the academics room until something better, faster and more efficient comes along.

Most looked attentive and inter- ested as the teacher Mrs. Nor- ma Rogers wrote a few basic English words on the black- board asking the class to pro- nounce them. This was the class known as ESL (English-as-a-‘Second-Lan- guage) room where students from Cambodia, El Salvador, and China met at different per- iods in the day to learn to speak the English language. The students came to Amer- ica for different reasons: to es- cape fighting in their embattled lands ranging from South Amer- ica to Southeast Asia; to learn Booting up. Computers prove to be helpful to Hector Martinez when prac- ticing his English. 26 ESL Students EEUUL English and to see America. ‘China is a poor country and America is rich’’, a student from China gave as his reason for coming to America. Ruxuan Chu explained that he preferred his school in China even though he had to attend school for a daily session in the mornin g, afternoon and even- ing. In Cambodia, students walked to school stayed in the same class the whole day. Cam- bodian students sometimes covered sixteen different sub- jects in a year.

As for learning English, ac- cording to members of the class, speaking and writing could have been very hard while thinking in one’s native language. Their weekends were spent at the movies, playing basket- ball, football and rollerskating. Rock'n'Roll was popular among the E.S.L. students, with favor- ite musicians ranging from Van Halen and Madonna to Bruce Springstein and Prince. Popular shows were, ‘‘The Cosby Show” and ‘Miami Vice.’ According to the E.S.L. class, American teenagers were “crazy”, ‘‘friendly”’ and ‘‘fun”’. ‘Meeting them can be sort of scary, at first’, said Tal Taing. As with most American teen- agers, the pre-occupation of ESL students was, members of the opposite sex. A lot of Ameri- can girls have ‘‘sexy bodies,”’ said Mauricio Malara. Other ESL males found American girls to be “‘pretty”’ and ‘‘friend- ly’. The girls felt that American guys were also ‘‘friendly’’ and “crazier’’ then their old friends. America had provided a new life for most of the ESL stu- dents. For many, the picture of a nice beautiful country was a dream come true. The students had adjusted well to the hectic, wild, and crazy life of the American teen- ager.

These pasttimes helped stu- dents deal with the unpleasant thought of returning to school. In the Fall, students tackled a “Blue and Gold Autumn” with the Bruton Panthers at Homecoming. The colors of autumn were drama- tized in an assortment of floats in- cluding clowns, ‘‘Bruton Busters’’ and flags of the world. _ Music lovers proved to be faithful to their favorite rock stars (Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Pointer Sisters and Prince) by portraying them in their style of dress in ‘‘Fashion Beat”. Rockers were also serious about their sounds by possessing high perfor- mance high tech car and home ste- reos that were “Electrifying” to say the least. The zany and the unusual were ap- parent in everything from administra- tors with walkie-talkies to faculty members and students riding don- keys in ‘‘Not Necessarily Meadow- brook”’. To combat the monotony of rou- tine, students decorated their lock- ers, ‘‘Behind Closed Doors”’, with ev- erything from Smurfs to rock idol photos and Calvin Klein ads. When Spring arrived, Karen Tem- ple became the new Miss Meadow- brook, and the Junior Class spon- sored an elegant prom on May 11 at the John Marshall Hotel.

These are just a couple of comments that people heard at the beginning of the summer. While underclassmen were busy craming for exams, the seniors were busy making plans for being ‘“‘Beach Bound” after graduation. Some people started the summer off by ‘‘soak- ing in the rays”’ at the beach or pool while others began it by working or just laying back and taking it easy.

When students were asked what activities they participated in during the summer, a majority of them commented ‘‘Getting a tan and looking at the guys girls!’’ Others preferred swimming, wa- ter skiing and fishing. While still, others fancied playing volleyball, football, soccer, basketball, and tennis. Out of the summer months July was favored the most for such reasons as swimming, laying out in the sun, and sleeping in.

Five people answered both location and size in- fluenced their decisions to share a locker while 7 gave ‘“‘to be near friends” as their reason. The idea of decorating a locker ap- pealed to some people for a variety of reasons; Brian Whitaker remarked, ‘“‘to personalize it’’ and Tra- cey Rowe exclaimed, ‘| need something to cheer me up between classes.”’ Finally Pam _ Sink quipped, “This makes it more like my room at home, so every morning | start my day out right.”’ Another anonymous per- son felt that they need to be ‘“‘Livened up, because lockers are about as bor- ing as History class.” Some people decorated lockers to ‘‘spice up’’ the humdrum every day rou- tine of school or to cover up the blah-grey color. Self-esteem and ‘‘cheer- ing yourself up’ or even a reminder of something nice can be other reasons for decorating a locker. Although lockers were very big, and certainly not the nicest they could be, people seem to be able to make them ‘“‘liveable”’ or like my room at home.” They achieve this goal by putting pictures, stickers, memo boards, posters, and of course a lot of writ- ing on their lockers.

On Saturday night, April 27, 7:30 p.m. the Miss Meadowbrook pageant went over with- out a hitch. The pageant couldn’t have survived without some very important people. Sponsors Mr. Hesbach and Mrs. Southall were aided by Chris Craig and Kathy Jones. Contestants: Jennifer Childrey, Stephanie Clarke, April Green, Carla Irving, Debbi Lawton, Joy Mariner, Vanessa Phelps, Missy Salmon, Au- drey Simmons, Karen Temple, Michele Tinsley, Jenni Treadway, Margeret Wirt and Lisa Yeat- man had been practicing for weeks. Each girl arrived wearing the evening gown of her choice and walked down the aisle to the music of the band. Modeling tuxedos from Mitchell’s Formal Wear, fourteen handsome young men escorted the contestants onto the stage. As each girl was introduced, she told a little about her and her plans for the future. While the girls went back stage to prepare for their group act, the 6th period drama class provided enter- tainment with their ‘Tight Rope’ and ‘‘Man’s Best Friend”’ acts. Next, the 14 contestants arrived back on stage to model their cutest spring clothes to the hit song ‘‘California Girls’. At the end of this num- ber, the Mistresses of Ceremonies, Karen Padgett and Kristen Lofquist, introduced the judges. As the night wore on, the talent presentation began. Dancing, singing, and dramatic readings were among the most performed acts. When the talent competition concluded, the judges chose the six finalists: Jennifer Childrey, Stefanie Clarke, April Green, Vanessa Phelps, Karen Tem- ple and Margaret Wirt. Then came the interviews. The finalists were asked two questions each. The first being a brief question about the activities each girl has partici- pated in throughout her time spent at Meadow- brook. The other being, ‘‘What qualities do you look for in a friend?’’ The most common replies were: ‘loyalty,’ “‘honesty’’ and “someone | can talk with comfortably.’’ While the finalists waited for the announcement of the winner, Chris Craig entertained the audience by singing ‘Special And the winner is ...

Reflecting upon how she felt about being crowned Miss Meadowbrook Karen explained, “| represent the school spirit, the dedication, the talent and the uniqueness of each student at Meadowbrook.” After Karen took the traditional walk down the ramp the evening came to a close.

Do | have on too much make-up? Are you sure | look good?” ‘‘Hey Dad, how does this bow-tie thing work? Is it on straight? Is the car clean?”’ On May 11, echoes of Prom '85 were heard throughout the homes of prom-goers. As Saturday after- noon slowly passed, the exchang- ing of corsages and the clicking of the cameras started the evening off. Many couples drove up to the John Marshall Hotel in classy cars such as Fieros, Cameros and Cor- vettes. Some even went to the ex- treme of a chauffeured limousine. As they arrived at the elegant Vir- ginia Room, their appetites had been satisfied by the gourmet din- ing of The Tobacco Company, The Assembly Room, The Marriot and The Top of the Tower. Prom-goers were swept off their feet by the flashy sounds of ‘‘The Fabulous Waller Family’. While some couples were holding each other close on the dance floor, oth- ers were waiting to get their Prom picture taken by Mrs. Gwynn C. Prideaux. At 9:30 Mr. Earl Binns an- nounced the members of the Sen- ior Figure. After each participant took his her position on the dance floor, the titles of Prom King and Queen went to Tony Maverdes and Margaret Wirt. Tony and Mar- garet agreed that being crowned king and queen was a big surprise and a wonderful honor. With the Senior Figure behind them, the Junior class officers could sit back and enjoy the rest of the night. Junior Class President, April Green expressed, ‘Getting the little things together for Prom such as chaperones, pictures and parking was very difficult.

Many couples continued celebrating by cruising Broad Street or by going out for breakfast. Others went straight to the beach to catch a glimpse of the sunrise. Anthony Mercedante shared his after-Prom plans, “My date and | went to a scenic spot to sit with each other and look upon the starlit night.” “Mom, I’m home. The Prom was great!

Gradu- ation was just around the corner and there were only a few days left for friends to be together. As a bright Memorial Day Monday rolled around, students were stunned at the thought of having to come to school on a holiday. (although snow days had to be made up). It came as no surprise for Seniors to get into the swing of things for College T-shirt Day. Those Seniors who were excited about going to college participated. While looking down the hall, T-shirts from ODU, Va. Tech, JMU, Radford etc., could be seen. Still oth- ers wore their usual Ozzy Osbourne, Van Halen and Pink Floyd T-shirts. Next up was Take Over Day. Senior David Hastings displayed his style of authority when he took charge of Mrs. Southall’s 3rd period Spanish class. On Wednesday students took revenge with a new event. Seniors provided a junk car with each teachers’ name spray painted on it. For 25¢ a lick, students could take out their frustrations by bashing in the teachers’ names.

It was all in fun and making it voluntary took the sting out of this ‘‘otherwise terrifying’ event. ‘You got the grill’, “‘l got the burgers’’. ‘‘Who was supposed to bring the charcoal?’ For the first time the Senior Picnic took on a new mean- ing. It was a Multi-Educational Outdoor Exper- ience with lunch included. With frisbees flying, steaks grilling, and people laughing, “‘it was a fun filled afternoon which I'll remember,’’ remarked Senior Lorie Haynes. At 7:00p.m., May 31, Seniors gathered in the Auditorium for Class Night. It was a nostalgic walk through four years of high school with the reading of the class history and the slide show. Scholarships and awards capped off the evening by recognizing Seniors for their achievements. As the evening came to a close, the sun set over the high school and the Seniors’ high school days. Memories were created that would last a life time. Take a bow. During the Class Night Awards, Karen Winston awaits an award for perfect attendance. WIS � An instant table.

New Departure As caps were hurled skyward, graduates prepared for the “real world.’’ wave of relief spread over the Senior Hall as June 12 slowly approached. There was a variety of emotions felt by Seniors about leaving high school. Michele Keppler ex- plained, “It’s exciting, but a little scary, while Chris Mund commented, ‘‘I feel relieved to have gotten through it.” At 2:00 p.m., Sunday June 9, 187 Seniors at- tended the Baccalaureate service at the South- side Church of the Nazarene. Both the invocation and the Baccalaureate sermon were delivered by Reverend C. L. Thompson. Reverend Thompson advised the Seniors to ask themselves questions. The Keys to Success were to be found in these questions and in their answers. As the band began to play Pomp and Circum- stance at 7:30 p.m. on June 12, the class of 1985 marched to their seats. After the pledge and the National Anthem, Father Uly Gooch of St. Barna- bus Episcopal Church led the invocation. Salutatorian Chris Hicks gave the welcoming speech. He opened with, ‘‘We could do nothing before we were born and we can do nothing after we are dead; So we must all set new traditions in the short life we have.” Karen Padgett followed with the Valedictorian Address. She stressed that the Seniors strive to be individuals and not to forget how MBK has helped them. With a clever introduction Mr. Ken Barber, Fac- ulty Representative, announced the winner of the Faculty Scholarship, ‘The recipient of this schol- arship will not have to walk very far to receive it.”’ He turned to acknowledge Karen Padgett as the winner. The Mack D. Moore Memorial Scholar- ship was presented by Principal Kent Walker to George Fidler for exemplifying the qualities of responsibility, determination and hard work. President Margaret Wirt then introduced guest speaker, Mr. Reggie Smith, Director of Leader- ship Development and Health Relations of VEA. Mr. Smith got off to a good start with his opening line, “You all look like new money just waiting to be circulated.’ He continued to tell the Seniors, “You are your own vehicle. It is up to you to get where you want to go in life.”’ In order to reach personal goals, he suggested each Senior be- comes a 4 level vehicle, which is having the “will” and using the ‘‘skill.”’ Seniors were individually announced by Princi- pals Mr. Don Kelly and Mr. Homer Garr while Principal Kent Walker presented each graduate with his her diploma. After the singing of the Alma Mater, caps were hurled skyward. The rain clouds had held, with the exception of a few raindrops. The only water shed were tears of joy and sadness. All ears.

The Varsity Football team had a slow start, but they were able to end the season with their heads held high. The 10-7 win over the heavily favored Varina Bluedevils was the spark that started the fire. The J.V. team, by placing third in the district proved youth and inexpe- rience was no handicap. For the first time, Field Hockey got swamped with girls wishing to try out. They ended their season by plac- ing fourth in the district. With alumnus Mike Gordon’s help, the Golf team was able to turn out a 7-5 record. Lack of experience and d epth were disadvantages for the girls and boys J.V. and Varsity Basketball team but they stuck together through thick and thin. _ Wrestling was handicapped with- out an unlimited wrestler while girls’ gymnastics was able to flex them- selves into fifth place at the Domin- ion Districts and a 4-4 record. Coach Dave Cathers continued to push Indoor Track to be an official sport instead of only competing in Invitationals. Developing a competitive attitude was a continued challenge for the Boys’ Tennis and Soccer teams. On the other hand, Girls’ Tennis was able to backhand their oppo- nents to a 6-3 season. Girls’ Track teams’ ongoing 30-0 record was an emotional upswing. Boys’ Track set and broke many P.R.’s and ran away with a 6-4 record. The wild cards of the spring season were the Varsity Baseball team. They stole 5th in the district and batted a 13-8 season. The 12-6 record of the J.V. Baseball team showed their on- going success.

Sponsor Linda Rusher described Vanessa as the most enthusiastic and de- pendable. Upon asking Varsity Sponser Linda Rusher, how she thought the returning of only one letterman affected the team, she stated, ‘‘I don’t think it affected the team that much at all.

This was displayed by the various trophies which line Ms. Thelma Loehr, the band teacher's, office window sill.

At band festival, both the symphonic band and concert band re- ceived an over-all excellent rating. One of the factors that contributed to the band’s success was, according to Miss Loehr, the marching style.

Concerning the morale of the band, the majority of the members agree that it rose throughout the season, espe- cially when the football sea- son ended and the parade competition began. Discipline was one of the points stressed in marching band. No unexcused ab- sences were allowed from neither practices nor perfor- mances. All of the practices and hard work, “‘payed off and showed in the band’s tro- phies, superior and excellent grades, and first and second place awards.” explained Becky Overton and Miss Loehr.

David Lawton com- mented, ‘“‘Thomas Dale bet- ter watch out!’’ The Mon- archs gave them more and more competition at each event they both participated in, and eventually the March- ing Monarchs would conquer their foe.

According to sophomore Monica Hudgins, being the only girl on the team for the second year was a challenge. She wasn’t treated any differently. She remarked, ‘‘Being a one year veteran, most of the guys ac- cepted me ... any likes or dislikes were personal and not caused by gender.” The team’s high point was the win over Cloverhill. Ju- nior Rodney Ridout, MVP, second in the District, re- called it as the most memo- rable match because, ‘‘We beat Cloverhill by 9 but lost to undefeated Manchester only by 2.” ‘The team was young but enthusiastic.

This attitude set the tempo for the Girls’ Cross Country team. Deter- mination influenced the de- velopment of their skills as runners and heightened their inner feelings to achieve ex- cellence. “It wasn’t the best of sea- sons, but we worked hard and everyone survived,”’ stated Chrissy Overton. Even though the score didn’t always reflect the hard work and the time and effort put into running, no one gave up. The team turned in a respect- able record of 2-6. The girls, despite compet- ing with only seven runners, kept improving throughout the season. The team suf- fered from a lack of competi- tive depth after the first three runners, and injuries slowed them down. Chrissy Overton, the most valuable runner, attained All- AA. District honors by placing 10th in the district. She com- mented, ‘‘l ran my fastest time and we all ran closer to- gether which means we each improved our times.’’ Chrissy went on to attain All- Regional status by placing 12th in the that meet and fin- ished a respectable 43rd at the State meet. Due to the enthusiasm and dedication of its mem- bers, the Girls’ Cross Coun- try team had an enjoyable season. Sharon Brown summed up, “We just all tried to do our best and have a good time.”’ UPS ‘N DOWNS All the pain and sweat of those early morning prac- tices in August helped the members of the Boys’ Cross Country team finish with a record of 6-5. They built up their endurance through in- tense competition within the nine member team. Coach Dave Cathers stated, ‘They were an excellent group to work with.” “The most exciting and memorable � .meet was against Thomas Dale, be- cause they were supposed to shut us out, but the whole team ran well and we gave them a good meet,’’ ex- plained Kim Taylor. Injuries were the main weakness that hurt the team. Mark Cooper compet- ed in only one meet before sitting out for the remainder of the season because of a leg injury which occurred during the summer. The team leader and MVP was one of the best runners in the state, Kim Taylor. He attained All-District and All- Regional honors by finishing 12th and 7th in the respec- tive meets, and placed 16th in the State meet to barely miss qualifying for All-State. At the UVa Invitationals, he placed 4th out of 300 run- ners. The team had fun and was dedicated. Coach Cathers concluded, ‘‘We performed about as well as could be ex- The positive attitudes of the boys’ and girls’ cross country teams set the tempo for a season filled with .. .

One returning starter, 80 three returning lettermen, and four seniors put in a 4-12- O season. ‘‘We expected to win the first four games which were needed as confi- dence builders,’’ stated Coach Lee, ‘‘but it wasn’t un- til the third game that we fi- nally won.”’ Little experience and lack of depth were obstacles to Overcome in order to be com- petitive. To begin with, not many girls went out for the team so there were less sea- soned players and not much height. To sum it all up, Mar- go Watkins noted, ‘‘We worked together putting skills that we had as individ- uals to get the game of the ball. Whether it was Nessie’s or Lori’s side shots, my speed or Marianne’s defense; they all came together as one.”’ As Coach Lee withstood the pressure of helping her girls defeat her High School Alma Mater, so too did the team endure the weight of competition by going be: yond the Dominion District to compete with two triple A Shhh!

The season did not go as well as it could have for the varsity team. Even under the leadership of captains Chris Mund, Troy Hobson and Tony Mavredes the players had a difficult time keeping up the morale. According to sé sophomore Mike Tiller, ‘‘a lot of us got down on our- selves after we lost our first couple of games and that had an effect on the team the rest of the season”’. There were also many high points that outshined the low. These included the 60-57 win over Colonial Heights and the exhileration of gong to the District Tour- nament. In the tournament our players suprisingly overthrew an old foe, Clover Hill.

One let down was when ju- nior, James Bell, didn’t make weight for regionals. Never having an unlimited wrestler hurt the team.

They were inexperienced but loved practice and worked well with Coach Ron Tuzzo. ‘“Good competition among the team at practice was strength and not making weight was a weakness,’’ Senior Steve Neal remarks. “Chris Williams gave me good competition and helped me a great deal in learning moves and getting into shape, along with Coach Tuzzo’'s conditioning, but at one match, four wrestlers didn’t make weight and we started 24 points down.” Jack Carter, Leo Ainsworth, Philip Bates, Coach Ron Tuzzo, Back Row: Allen Misegades, Robert De- Fazio, Jerry Bishop, Hank Keller, Robert Yeats, Craig Hicks, Todd Hal- linon, David Keyser, Rodney Hous- ton, Adam Lanthrip, Eddie Shin, Junior Chris Williams said, ‘‘The strenght of our team was the determination of all the wrestlers and work- ing together as a team, even though we were inexperi- enced, we still stuck togeth- er.

Runners were stretching and shaking the tension out of their mus- cles. Everything rested on the last event — the mile re- lay. The shot of the gun shat- tered the silence and the girls were off and running. Even though the event called for only four runners the whole team was running with them in their minds and in their hearts. Each athlete gave her all, but in the last leg the Lady Monarchs were the first to break the tape. The exceptional effort by the girls mile relay team de- feated unbeaten Clover Hill for the regular season title. Undefeated for the third straight year, with a record of 30-0, the Lady Monarchs retained their image of the ‘‘team-to-beat”’ in the Domin- ion District. V High points for the team included three victories with- in an eight day stretch over Midlothian, Bird, and Clover Hill, the toughest rivals in the district. The only low point for the girls was finishing second to Bird in the District meet. The success of the team was achieved not through one or two particular individ- uals, but through the com- bined efforts of the entire team. To compliment the girls’ individual victories as well as the team’s Coach Dave Cathers unexpectedly awarded this year’s “‘Most Valuable Player’ trophy to the entire team a first for the in Monarch history. The girls also shared mu- tual feelings about their coach.

The ten- sion in their muscles had been transformed into deter- mination. The goal set at the beginning of the year of re- maining undefeated had been achieved.

Tracey Smith remembered playing Midlothian at home, going into the last inning and being behind with two outs, the Lady Monarchs came back and won 8-7, due to Lori Williams’ base hit to right field, allowing the runner of third to come home. The best game, Coach Ma- son explained was against Clover Hill. The Monarchs needed to win in order to as- sure themselves a playoff spot. Joy Mariner went 4 for 4 and Jennifer Childrey 3 for 3. The biggest play of the day came in the top of the 6th inning when Clover Hill drove a pitch deep into left center field.” Joy Mariner stretched ev- ery inch of her body to catch a fly ball for the third out that would have been a sure grand slam,”’ recalled Coach Mason. The Lady Monarchs held on to win 4:3. Other highpoints of the season were Jeri Raynor's hitting and Nessie DiMeo’s defense Coach Mason add- ed, ‘It was great to see young people playing for the first time do well.”’ Teamwork showed to be helpful, once the girls got to know each other.

Treasurer Becky Woody stated that, ‘“‘the Home- coming parade made me very nervous. ’ The fall of 1984 also brought with it the presi- dential elections, and the SCA took part and pro- vided Meadowbrook with its own mock presidential elections in which Ronald Reagan won by over whelming results. At Thanksgiving, the SCA sponsored a cannec goods drive for the Crip pled Children’s Hospita and Student response was very impressive. By December, the clul was busy preparing fo! christmas.

They also participated in a student exchange with Mills E. Godwin High school. The highlight of the year was the Miss Mea- dowbrook Pageant.

Offi- cers and members alike felt pleased with their ef- forts. ivorce, drugs, drink- ing, cheating, ca- reers, sex, good bes some -, oe ee = - sportsmanship and dis- crimination are all sub- jects fifth graders are most interested in. Through SODA (Students Organized To Develop At- titudes) fifth graders are given support and guid- ance needed to make good decisions and to han- dle the pressures of grow- ing up where all of these situations are concerned. A SODA member serves as a role student for the fifth grader. HE She is someone they can look up to yet someone they also feel comfortable confid- ing in. Christy Western, a fifth grader from Bensley expressed this feeling when she said, ‘'l like SODA because they are people you can talk to.”’ The seventeen boy girl SODA teams were select- ed from juniors and sen- iors on the basis of how they would handle each situation mentioned above. These teams vis- ited neighboring elemen- tary schools (Falling Creek, Beulah, Hening, and Hopkins) once every two weeks. Each visit consisted of a creative les- son which was carefully planned by the SODA team and reviewed by the two sponsors Mrs. Sharon Paulson and Mrs. Linda Davidson. After the SODA team had present- ed their lesson there was a discussion in which every- one participated. Thro- ugh the group discussion personal fears and ques- tions were brought out into the open as stated by one fifth grader from Bensley, Erica Miller, ‘When at first | thought of going to junior high | was scared but SODA taught me more about it and now I’m not scared.” SODA is an experience through which both the SODA team and the fifth graders benefit. By work: ing with SODA the team develops an insight to their own lives as well as helping a fifth grader deal with his own life.

The Stage Band acted as a feeder up to the Jazz Lab. One learned the ba- sic style and form of jazz in stage band. Then after 1 or 2 years of playing jazz the member moved up to the Jazz Lab, depending on the openings in the dif- ferent sections. On the other hand, the z fo) Jazz Lab consisted of players who played the jazz idiom somewhat long: er and were ready to delve into jazz improvision. The Jazz Lab consisted of fifteen talented musi- cians. They participated in many school activities such as Basketball games, playing for ele- mentary and Jr. high schools, and PTSA meet- ings. The members en- joyed playing for these events and especially en- joyed going to the other schools. Colleen Mangum, a saxophone player said, “'l really enjoyed going to Hopkins because the kids ‘really enjoyed our music, and that was our best per- formance of the year.” Patti Newman, Outstand- ing Jazz Musician for the year, said, “It was fun to play for people, especially the elementary kids.” t has been said that music soothes the sav- age beast. The Orches- tra performed a variety of music this year that would soothe the most savage beast and put life : ; bt ta into any dull form. Senior Greg DeBruyn began the performances ; for the year by being se- lected for Regional Or- chestra in which he made first chair. At Christmas time, the Orchestra enter- tained shoppers at Clover- leaf Mall. They also opened the Christmas concert at Meadowbrook on December 17.

The major task was constructing a float for homecoming. The club members saw their hard work rewarded by receiving first prize for the club floats. Sponsor Linda Davidson com- mented, ‘‘l was delighted that so many members volunteered to make a flag. Putting all of the flags from different coun- tries together made a very meaningful backdrop.” The club prospered as attendance for meetings was consistant with an ac- tive membership of fifty. The club dined at La Petit France, La Siesta, And Ju- lian’s, enjoying Mexican French and Italian cui- sine.

Whether it was a Halloween Party, Valentine's Day or Easter each of the two groups en- joyed making new friends and learning things about another’s culture. The first week in March was designated as foreign language week. Students heard foreign exchange students speak, were taught words of another language by ESL stu- dents, saw foreign films and on Thursday attend- ed the Foreign Language Banquet. After eating many inter-national foods the students were enter- tained by the foreign Lan- guage Fued.

Well, here at Meadow- brook High School, we have our very own — Me- dia. Meadowbrook Media Club took over the VCdU studio! This was just one of the projects the Media Club took on, others were Football, Basketball, Soc- cer, Gymnastics, Special Olympics and many other school activities. When the club started out in September there were about 15 members and expectations were high, but only 5 remained active. Then Storer Cable changed station manag- ers and county schools were discouraged from using the cable studios and their equipment. Then in April the break they were waiting for ar- rived. A former MBK stu- dent needed help for a project so he came to us. The Media Club was able to use VCU's TV studio to make a 15 minute show. It gave them an opportunity to operate a college cam- era in a color studio equipped with a special effects generator and switcher. When Wes Lumpkin was asked what he thought about going to VCU he replied, ‘It was a very educational exper- ience.” When asking Sponsor, Ms. Silvestre what she thought of the club perfor- mance she stated, ‘‘Sever- al members held the club together. To them, the school owes gratitude for the service they provided to all organizations.”’ ue to the lack of par- ticipation and a lack of interest, Pep Club as not as active as it would have liked to be. President, Melissa Hay- dock expressed, ‘‘When Senior privileges were re- voked, many of us be- came uninterested in school.’’ The Pep Club tried to organize several activities to raise school spirit (a bus to an away game was canceled due to poo r turn-out), but most attempts failed. = Attention was turned to lack of participation in school-wide events. Solu- tions were being sought by the Pep Club and oth: ers. ena Pep Club Front Row: Karla Jones (Treasurer), Melissa Hay- dock (President), Kelly Newell (Vice-President).

The Chess Club mem- bers, a group of diverse students, were dedicated and determined to strive for excellence. It was a dedication that showed it- self when involved in games against each other or teams from other schools. From students who have played for sev- eral years to those just be- ginning, the club has at- tracted a large following. One student said, ‘The large number of mem- bers, if anything, has made the competition the toughest ever.” Activities included an intramural tournament to determine the number one seated player, in the club. A new development this year was regular trips to McGuire’s Veterans’ Hospital, where members played both veterans and students from nearby VCU. Also, the group was involved in an interscho- lastic tournament, spon- sored by the United States Chess Federation. The team’s record stands at 2- 2-1.

Sceptre was the year- book staff, and it dealt with big workloads and ‘big expenses. In order to produce a book, it took dedication and money. “Dedication and drive are the major characteristics that | look for in selecting a staff member,’’ ex- plained Sponsor, Sandie Silvestre. In the Fall, 5 editors at- tended a workshop at Douglas Freeman and 30 staff members travelled to GVA for the V.H.L.L. publications conference. Sceptre earned $4660 dollars in ads, including color ads for the first time. Freshman, Dale Tucker recalled the chal- lenge of selling ads as “frustrating sometimes.’ To reach their financial goals, Coordinator, Mrs. Betsy Boggs organized a yard sale, raising $100. In addition, school calendars were produced by staff members and sold for $2.00. in December, $500 was raised by selling Christmas goods.

Whether this was their first year or their last year, they expressed them- selves in new traditions and made their input count. For the first few pep rallies the Freshman needed pro- gramming and ‘‘Pepping Up’’. Having ‘‘A Fresh New Start’ meant taking commands from upperclassmen and was one of the least liked things about being a Freshman. While 6% of the class always seemed to be moni- tored, 10% commented they were rarely ‘‘Being Grounded’’. The “UP and Coming’’ Sophomore year was definitely looked forward to. Sophomores were ‘Floating By With Class” winning the first place in the Homecoming parade for their ex- cellence graphics. ‘‘Friendships”’ were found to be very important to the majority of the class. 63% found ‘Spare Time’’ hard to find. Many knew the unforgettable feelings ex- pressed in the phrase “What a day | had!’’ and most knew the “Anxi- eties’’ of being a sophomore. Juniors felt good ‘‘Starting a Tradi- tion’’ with a class ring ceremony. ‘Dating Disasters’’ made unforgetta- ble memories. The Junior girls played ‘Role Reversal’ and booted out the Senior girls in a game of Pow- der Puff Football. The thought of ‘“‘becoming a Sen- ior’’ was exciting for most, but not all. The seniors’ year began with the privilege uproar, was it a ‘‘myth or reality?”’ It was resolved when Mr. Walker gave them to the seniors but added a new twist to some, such as, the Senior picnic was changed to the Multi-educational outdoor exper- ience with lunch included. The Bud- get Crunch was “‘taking the cents out of Seniors’”’ from $10.00 class dues to $200.00 prom expense. There was ‘‘No Escape’”’ from embarrassing sit- uations, they ranged from stumbling through an oral book report to spill- ing a drink while on a date. The question ‘‘What does the fu- ture hold for the class of 85’’ was asked and responses included, col- lege, trade school, or out into the working world.

For most of the Freshmen class the jump from junior high to high school was a major one. It was hard enough getting from one class to the other without getting lost, but on top of that you were swamped with deci- sions of what clubs and activi- ties to join. Just the word ‘Freshman’ im- plies how the ‘upper-classmen’ would treat you. But after the first week everything was down pat and the nervous butterflies and funny looks were gone and everything was down to busi- ness. The teachers started giv- ing more homework than ever and the ‘‘realness”’ of high school set in. One of the first big events For the class of 88, the first year in high school was a milestone. was electing class officers. Then came Homecoming week and the exciting game and dance. When the last two weeks of school rolled around the an- ticipation of summer was drowned out by the anxieties of the dreaded first exams. But when the last exam was fin- ished most the Freshmen came through alive and uttered a sigh of relief that, with only a few Sis aye exceptions, the class was now considered Sophomores, leav- ing all the freshmen anxieties behind. nn Freshmen Class Officers: Treasurer Julie Deeter, Secretary Lori Lohr, Presi- dent Audrey Simmons, Vice-President Jackie Jones, Historian Christy Miller, Sponsor Gerri Lohr. 7 ; ? i Y ‘ Mark Hagan Allison Hagins Bobby Hall Pam Hall Steve Hall Keith Hall Todd Hammer Donny Hanchey Tammi Hancock Kevin Harris Jimmy Harris Victoria Harris Tana Harrison Heather Hatch Bryan Hayden Tammy Heath Dawn Heffer Aubrey Heflin David Hindricson Patric Henshaw Steve Hess Tracey Hicks Robert Hines Mindy Holder Freshmen 139 Being Grounded “Beverly, Wait up.”’ “‘Hi Lori, what's wrong?” ‘‘Well you know the Madonna concert we were going to Thursday?’’ “Yeah, | can't wait.”’ ‘‘Forget it.

Other causes for being in trou- ble with ‘“The Law”’ were smart- talking, ‘Staying out too late, partying, breaking telephone rules, arguing with a brother or sister, Cursing, or lieing.”’ The frequency of being grounded ranged from ‘‘Every- day”’ to “Once in a Blue Moon Parents laid down the law, while Freshmen gave their reactions to restrictions. having an eclispe’’. 21% said they were never grounded while 6% said they seemed to be grounded all the time. 12% com- mented that it was rare to be grounded, 48% grounded some- times, and 10% were grounded fairly regularly.

Freshmen Heavy Thinking. Freshman Debbie Lawton daydreams about her upcoming Sophomore year. SER, Energize! Freshman Jackie Winfree, flashes those electric eyes at an upper- classmen’s remark. s upcoming Sopho- mores the class of 88 had much to look for- ward to. Hopefully, there would be easier acceptence since they would no longer be called ‘Freshmen’ and had already learned the ropes of high school. One Freshman stated, ‘Knowing that we are rising Sophomores we are looking for- ward to not being bad mouthed anymore because of being Freshmen.” Another Freshman stated, “The best thing about becom- ing a Sophomore is that you're not treated like scum, and knowing we'll have people to pick on, the new Freshman class.” As Sophomores they would soon be getting their license giv- ing them more freedom to do as Up And Coming Freshmen looked to Sophomore year as a relief from the bur- den of being the youngest class. they pleased. The class of 88 also had the choice of selecting their high school class rings, and were looking on these tasks as helping them become more mature and independant. Many Freshmen looked for- ward to having new classes and different teachers. One Fresh- man commented, ‘‘The best thing about becoming a Sopho- more isn't the fact that we would no longer be Freshmen, but that there is one more year gone by, meaning one more year closer to graduation and leaving school, and moving on to bigger and better things.” Richard Wagner Dionell Walker James Walker Laura Walker Amelia Wallace Tara Walston Steve Wasilewski Heather Watson Robert Watson Cathy Wells Joe Wells Mike Wells Colleen Weyant Barbara Whittaker Tammy Williams Tracie Williams Troy Williams Jeff Wilson Tammy Wilson Tony Wilson Shawn Winfree Jackie Winfree Terry Winn Audrey Woodcock Robert Woodson Christie Woody Caroline Worsham Diantha Yancey Jackson Yang Heather Yeagle Shawn Young Chrystal Zappulla Freshmen 145 146 Sophomores Hoating By With Class | he Sophomore class started the year off with a bang with its first place Homecoming float entitled, ‘‘Bruton Busters’’. Thirty-seven Sophomores ac: tively participated in the con- struction of the float; nine of whom were elected to ride on it. Busters were Robert Rogers, Weiman Seid, Richie Nashette, and Scot Anderson. Anne Ozlin and Dana James played the roles of the Bruton Panthers, while Cheryl Temple and James Lundberg handled the special effects of scaring the crowd with the howling sounds and the lit up haunted house. As James Lundberg said, ‘'It was great working with a bunch of friends and the special ef- fects was exactly what I wanted to do.”’ The hard work and deligent efforts of the Sophomores were rewarded with a check of 50 dol- lars for winning.

On December 22 many members of the class got together to share their Christ- mas spirit by going Christmas caroling in the Meadowbrook Estates area. Afterwards they all joined at Christa Peters house for refreshments. They decided that they also needed a few fund-raisers for upcoming activities. Their big- gest fund-raising effort was the sale of blue, plastic drinking cups, silkscreened with a gold lion and Meadowbrook High School. ‘‘Although the cups didn’t bring in as much money as planned, we still have hopes of earning more money in other ways,’ stated Laurie Lohr, trea- surer of the class. The Sophomores had learned what pulling together as a class was all about. As Sophomore Tara Havens said, ‘“‘It’s been a great year and we've hada lot of fun times with a lot more to come in our remaining years.”’ President Matt Fairholm also added, ‘‘Thank heaven for 87!”’ I ain’t ’fraid of no Panther! Anne Oz- lin and Dana James swing their tails while Weiman Seid and Richie Nashette get ready to ‘bust’ them. The class of 87 had a lot Work, Work, Work.

They're there to half the sorrow and multiply the happiness. Friends always stick by you even in the toughest fights. Friends will pass by the faults in you, but never miss a quality. A friend is someone special to tell your deepest secrets with and know they'll never tell. A friend is someone you can feel at ease with. A friend is someone you never forget. riends are some of the most important people in a persons life. They are someone to confide your most intimate secrets to, to share all your problems with, and also share all your happi- ness with. The class of 87 is an unusually close class. Unlike most classes there weren't cer- 148 tain ‘cliques’, but instead one big clique. Being such a big class with 347 students, the class officers had a big task of keeping the Sophomores close, but they managed. During Homecoming Spirit Week everyone pulled to- gether to beat out the Junior and Freshman classes to come in a close second to the Seniors with such activities as the Chain Link where 5 cents buys you a link tee shirt day. As Laurie Lohr, treasurer of the class put it, ‘‘In planning class activities, we try to include ev- eryone.”’ Just sittin’ around.

When asked to define spare time Sophomores felt it was ‘any time that you have to yourself where you can do whatever you want.’ When asked if they had a lot of spare time 37% said yes while 63% said no. When it came to homework 11% of the Sophomore class spent none of their spare time on homework, 42% spent up to one hour, 37% spent up to two hours, 5% spent up to three hours, with 5% spending over three hours on homework daily. One Sophomore stated that she would rather spend her time lis- tening to the radio then doing her homework. Playing sports, dancing, and reading the latest teen maga- zines were the main hobbies of the sophomore class. One Sophomore said, ‘‘I don’t really have any spare time to work on hobbies,’’ while others com- mented they had all the spare time they needed to do their homework, and have a little lei- 150 Sophomores Spare Time sure time on the side. Talking on the phone, watch- ing television, and listening to stereos were just some of the favorite pastimes of members of the Sophomore class. One member commented, ‘My life is spent on the phone which really interferes with my school- work, but that’s what I’d rather be doing.’’ Other favorite time consuming pastimes were lay- ing out in the sun, eating and sleeping. Spare time is also spent working on hobbies such as collecting various items from stamps to beer cans. Visiting art galleries and museums is a hob- by to some Sophomores. “‘It’s a fun way to spend some of my spare time where | don’t have anything special planned,’’ commented Sophomore Laurie Lohr. One Sophomore summed up what she thought of spare time by saying, ‘Spare time, when | can find some, is great, espe- cially spending time with peo- ple my age at parties, or the mall, or the park. Really any- where I’m with my friends.” “I’ve got a catch!’’ Sophomore Robert Absher enjoys fishing in his spare time.

The ex- citement in the air was thick and it was only a matter of time before people would be turning rings, showing them off to fam- ily and friends. There were many traditions surrounding the receiving of high school rings. Tradition dic- tated that the ring must be turned 86 times to indicate the year of graduation. Which way should the ring be turned to the left or to the right? Etiquette called for the rings to be turned to the right and on the last turn to the left, to ‘‘seal’”’ it. The per- son who seals the ring should be someone special; best friend, a boy or girl friend, anyone con- Starting a Tradition sidered close to you. There was something new to this years receiving of rings. A ceremony. In the past years there was a social gathering in the evening. This year it was more formal. April Green, Ju- nior class president, opened the ceremony with a few words en- couraging class spirit. Follow- ing, Mr. Walker placed the rings on all the officers hands. April Green, Vice President Ray Grenke, Secretary Jennifer Childrey, Treasurer Susan Hold- er, and Historian Carla Irving. Secretary Jennifer Childrey remembered, “‘It was such a special feeling to have Mr. Walker place the ring on the of- ficers fingers.’’ The class offi- cers then handed out the rest o the rings to their fellow class mates. It was all so very excit ing,’ commented Carla Irving ‘““‘when | handed out the rings, felt like | was giving then memories.’ ‘“Memories indeed,’ Susai Holder said, ‘When | look at m1 high school ring, | get flash backs of football and basketbal games and all of the days spen at MBK.” ‘‘| had been waiting since las year for this day and it’s just a: exciting as | thought it woul be,’’ remarked Junior Michell Houtz.

As a major fund raiser for the Prom the Junior class held the second anual powder puff foot- ball game between the junior and senior girls. The junior class girls were really looking forward to this game. They began having prac tices about a month ahead of the clash of wills. They were coached by Ray Grenke as head coach, assisted by Barry Tyler as defensive coordinator and Lacy Inge as of- fensive coordinator. Other coaches were Frank Rodriquez as defensive line, Ke- vin Foster coached offensive line, Warren Brockwell worked Coaches pet!

Matt Burton was the “‘Spiritu- al Motivator’ for the juniors, and kept them going through- out the game with words of in- spiration. The junior coaches were doubtful at first because the senior team had more size but, they had confidence in their ju- nior girls’ who had the quick- ness and the “‘positive atti- tude. Junior coach Ray Grenke commented, ‘‘l was very pleased with the way that the girls worked together as a team, they took the game seri- ously.”’ At first the Senior class had trouble recruiting interested participants. But finally the threat of having the prom can- celled encouraged them to get their team together. Eleven girls finally came forward. With- out them the game would not have been played.

Finally the night was here! As the play- ers were warming up on the field, the tension was evident in their faces. The officals were Coach Ja- mie Accashian, Coach Deron Mason, Milo Beckner, and U n- cas Webb. They acted as ‘peacemakers’ on the field. They discussed the rules with the coaches and then the game was underway. On the second possession the juniors shot up the field within scoring position, Margo Watkins scored the first touchdown of the game and put the juniors ahead 6-0.

Although the 1112.50 raised was a nice piece of change, beating the Seniors added the finishing touch! After 60 minutes of play 22 exhausted troopers exchanged congratulations and condo- lences. Eleven dragged off the field to lick their wounds while 11 stayed on the field to gloat in their victory. The Junior class also held a Macho Man contest where stu- dents voted for their favorite Macho Man. Willie Crews was the lucky one to be crowned Mr. Macho Man.

To most ju- niors the world of a Senior was full of the privileges of a ruling class, but in reality there were responsibilities that took away from the glory of being the elite. These topics were everyday conversations for juniors heard throughout the halls. Juniors took a look into the future and most were excited about be- coming a senior and claiming the privileges. “Next year will be the best. Just thinking of only one more year of school left gets you ex- cited,’’ remarked Junior SueAnn Lundberg. Becoming a senior was a big step for most juniors but to oth- ers it was just another school year. Tim McKnight quipped, ‘‘l’ll become a senior when | become a senior. I’ts not really that much of a big deal.” ‘With all the privileges taken away, there’s nothing really to look forward to being a senior,”’ re- torted Lisa Fairgrieve. Jull Sheppard agreed, ‘‘The only good thing about becoming a senior is that it is our last year.”’ But many other Juniors felt differently, ‘I think I'll have more freedom from my parents and I’m looking forward to ap- plying to colleges,’’ was Kevin Glenn’s opinion. Mat Culbert: son also commented, “My sen- ior year will rap up my fun at MBK and prove what | have ac- complished in my last three years.” Trev Utz Rick Vanover Greg Vaughan Kristen Vaughan Michael Vaughan Cecilie Velle Allen Walden Amy Walker Kevin Walker Matt Walker Terry Walton Jimmy Warren Monica Wells Peter Wells Angela Welton Charlie West Brian Whitaker May White Lynn Whitt Brenda Williams Chris Williams Keith Williams Stacey Williamson Barbara Willis Lindsey Wilson Jimmy Wood Becky Woody Myra Woolard Shannon Worch Scott Worley Sherri Wright Leah Zebley Juniors 163 n August 27, the ru- mors spread like “Wild Fire’, senior privileges were being cut back. In the halls, in the courtyard, in the cafeteria, and the class- rooms, discussions centered on the demise of senior privileges. There would be no more cutting in the lunch line, no courtyard, and no senior parking. What else? “‘I felt that the new rules weren't fair, because we had to wait four years for the privi- leges, when we finally got there, then they took them away,” stated senior Kris Rublee. In a survey given to seniors, many said they remembered the privileges seniors had when they were underclassmen such as the Senior parking lot, the respect of letting seniors leave the gym first from school wide activities, and leaving 6th peri- od 3 minutes early. Ella Courtney Adams Senior Privileges | But the most exciting privi- lege according to the Class of °85 was Senior Week. Rumors were rampant that there would be no picnic, slave day, or the senior week activities in gener- al. A meeting on May 3rd cleared that up. Senior week was back in the swing but with a new twist. The senior picnic had been demolished by a policy that came down from the State Board of Education cancelling this event, because this event would take students away from “Time on Task.” But the Senior class wouldn't let this stop them. If they could not have the picnic, they would come up with something better. According to Assistant Prin- cipal Mr. Don Kelly the senior class officers President Marga- ret Wirt, Vice President Stefanie Clarke, Secretary Kristen Loft- Reality? quist, Treasurer Donna Wilken- son, and Historian Vanessa Phelps presented him with a proposal for an alternative to the Senior Picnic. He revised the proposal and the outcome was the Multi-Educational Out- door Experience with lunch. On June 12th graduates marched to the stadium few Seniors were worried about the Senior privileges that had not been received. Most of the sen- Are They a Myth or a iors were concerned with the ul- timate privileges of graduating and moving on into the adult world.

If you answered ‘“‘yea’”’ to any of the above then you know what it means to be embarrassed! In a survey, given to the Sen- ior Class, questions dealt with disturbing situations that have occurred at school, home, on a date or at work, showed that no one escaped ‘“‘the unescapable”’ At school, the most common humiliating situations dealt with the classroom, friends, peer pressure and boy-girl rela- tionships. Being in the front of the class, ‘stumbling through an oral book report’, ‘talking about someone as they walked that have created many ‘‘red”’ faced students. At home, most students said that they rarely got embar- rassed, but a common situation was ‘burning dinner” and when someone comes to visit you, when you look gross”! The most frequent place for “The unexpected” to happen seemed to be on a date. And some well known situations were ‘running into an old boy- friend’ and saying or doing the wrong things!! At work, most unforeseen things happened to those who worked with the public, and the majority said ‘‘tripping and fall- ing’’, and having things fall over while you're working with the customer when you least ex- “Walking out of the locl dressed,” ‘‘telling a joke laughed at,’’were a few « situations for some senic Who did Seniors get the most mortified around, ‘‘boys, girls, parents or teachers? Boys was the surprising response. As one girls said, ‘‘you try to impress the guys and not make a fool of yourself’. On the other side of the coin, another overshelmly response was becoming shame: faced around girls. “you want to be impressive’ and “‘you gotta be cool”’ were the reasons given by many of ‘‘cool”’ senior guys! What do you do when you be- come embarrassed? One stu- dent stated ‘‘Sometimes I'd like to just crawl in a hole” or “'l try and laugh it off’’. OOPS!

S graduation neared, the Senior Class looked towards leav- ing with mixed feelings. Their short-term goals were close to being achieved. For some of the seniors that meant an exemp- tion from final exams, for oth- ers, it simply meant to get a di- ploma, despite senoritis. Gradu- ation was a way of ‘‘escaping from Meadowbrook,” knowing there was nothing else free. Seniors have recognized that economics will be a determin- ing factor in their future. It will determine when and how much education they will get or when they can leave home. As one senior stated, ‘Yes, college kids are the poorest people in Amer- ica,’ however, those trying to support themselves have agreed that money will affect their lifestyles. A majority of seniors have planned to attend colleges throughout Virginia, such as Virginia Commonwealth Uni- versity (VCU), University of Vir- ginia (AVA), James Madison University (JMU), Longwood, John Tyler, Mary Washington, and Old Dominion. Several have applied to out-of-state col- leges as far as Utah, Florida and Massachusetts, and others have planned to go to trade school.

Gui reparing students for the future and organiz- ing them in the present are but two of the many duties of the Guidance Department. These duties and more were handled by only six people; Mr. William Sindlinger, Mrs. Joyce Antrim, Mrs. Linda Detreville, Mrs. Sandra Moore, Mrs. Susan Butterworth, and Mrs. Martha Rodgers. Mr. Sindlinger, the head of the department, worked with the other counselors, along with handling the seniors. Mrs. Joyce Antrim, Mrs. Linda De- treville, and Mrs. Sandra Moore handled the rest of the students. Between the four, they listened to such problems as failing, al- cohol and drugs, and choosing a career. Since choosing a career was so important, they used the new G.I.S. (Guidance Information System), computer to help with 184 Faculty ing the choices careers and col- leges. Their new vocational counselor, Mrs. Butterworth, also helped with careers, plus pre-employment skills, voca- tional counseling, and work ex- perience. Mrs. DeTreville explained “Our biggest problem is time”’, and the additional paperwork didn't help. To tackle the paper- work, the Department had an- other computer, and ‘‘it greatly decreases the amount of paper- work”’, said Mr. Sindlinger. ‘We cannot possibly see every stu- dent’, commented Mrs. Moore, and Mrs. Antrim added ‘'It would be easier if they came to us with any problems.” As an indispensable member of the department, Mrs. Martha Rodgers, the department secre- tary, tried to keep all the com- ings and goings of the counsel- ors straight. She also organized the Guidance Department From helping to plan academic schedules to guiding the selection of future careers, the guidance depart- ment showed students the way. Aides. The aides were students who handled miscellaneous duties. The duties ranged from the dai- ly delivery of student passes, to gathering pine needles for a showcase. It was also the department's duty to organize students for the future. Such pre-collegiate activities as the annual college night, the scholastic aptitude tests, and career night every other year, were sponsored by the guidance department. If the need arose, counselors served as tutors, scheduled parent- teacher conferences, wrote let- ters of recommendation, and registered new students. They took care in preparing future schedules by using one-on-one counseling instead of group counseling in program plan- ning. ‘| don't think anyone should tell a student where to go or what to do, they should make their own choices,’’ comment- ed Mr. Sindlinger. With a care- ful balance of daily and future plans, they provided an excel- lent source of information for students to make such impor- tant choices. ‘Where do I go?”’’ The first day of school is filled with a myriad of ques- tions for Counselor Bill Sindlinger to an- swer.

We would like you to sponsor our high school yearbook in the ads section of the Sceptre.” With over 45 mem- bers of the staff going around the county to ask for ads, 102 businesses agreed to support the yearbook by placing an ad. Ads numbered 26 pages, an in- crease of three. The Sceptre staff added color to the advertisements which added more interest to the sec- tion. More money was raised by selling color ads than black and white. Thir- ty eight businesses purchased color totalling $2300. Forty six businesses bought black and white ads equalling $2000. Patrons (names printed in bold in ads section) raised $255. The ads campaign came to grand total of $4660. Special appreciation went to W. S. Carnes for a full color spread at $275. Department stores placed the most ads with twelve, while restaurants and automotive businesses tied for second with eight. Seventeen par- ents, neighbors, and friends of the students body also helped by pur- chasing a patron. In exchange for contributing their time and talents, students, faculty, administrato rs, and staff were recog- nized for their continued participa- tion in the school and community. Four hundred thirty nine freshmen and 344 sophomores were represent- ed in photos while 302 juniors and 242 seniors could also be found in- volved in activities of academics, sports, clubs or student life. The arranged indexed in alphabeti- cal order, showed where every per- son, organization, sport, and event was represented in the 224 page Sceptre.
