It was just there — aconsistency that was regulated by sixteen years of tradition, but influencable by time. No one could see it. No one could hear it. But all felt its presence. Growth affected every aspect of the school including the students, teachers, staff, and even the physical appearance of the building. It was this growth that marked each new academic session. Continuing with changes, life pulsated in the halls as ideas, talents and knowledge formed. Growth continued inside and was reflected on the outside. Building and’ construction, new facets to the school, left their distinguishable marks on the home of Monarch Country, and change was praised in the local media. But such laudations threw attention on the less important area of change. The construction resulted from a need to accomodate overcrowded classes, it did not show, however, the true growth — the continual development of the essence of Menchville. The school would still be the same with or without the construction because there were always new developments and events taking place inside the school that had more impact on the personal lives of the students. Bricks and mortar did not matter to their lives; grades, dates, or something else aid. The new wings in the courtyard and beside the second cafeteria were just embodiments of the growth that was always present and constant. The building served as a marker for change and allowed the school and the community to stop and consider the changes and events of the past sixteen years. Menchville kept going, growing and adapting.

Studies constantly were a large part of students’ lives, which were complemented by involvement in athletics and activities. Each of these major aspects of Monarch life contributed to the excellence so common to the school. These qualities propelled Menchville forward, maintaining a standard of excellence unequaled in the region. This high set of standards enabled everyone to have the opportunity to strive for his hopes, areams, and desires. In this way, each and every student continued to grow, to mold his future from beginning to end.

Unable to cut across the courtyard, many were tardy to class prompting the aaministration to extend class change time to six minutes compared to the usual five. Wet snow covers a deserted courtyard. Students love the snow for its snowball and snowman making quality, not to mention two Jays out of school. citle make teed Broken tree limbs, downed power lines, and tape marks on windows are not uncommon sights as Hurricane Gloria rolls through the Peninsula. This tree in Denbigh Plantation fell in the 70+ miles per hour wind. — HARWOOD — HOLLAND a — HARWOOD Hurricane Gloria provides more inclement weather. Schools closed due to the activation of the Civil Authority units on September 20 as the storm inched to the shore. The fence surrounding Menchville’s tennis court suffered from Gloria’s wrath and might. NEW FACES NEW PLACES Expansion and growth had their benefits of providing new experiences and opportunities which allowed the tradition of excellence to continue. Since the opening of the school, excellence has been a hallmark as bigger and better goals were set and achieved. Problems or inconviences aid not daunt the efforts dedicated to reaching those objectives. Students accepted changes in life as a standard — the one constant that never faltered. Within this framework of constancy, new goals were established and pursued without regard for problems, those were just dealt with as a given condition, a fact of life. This was part of the high school experience, part of growing that never stopped. The people in Menchville grew and watched themselves and the school grow from the ground up, from the beginning to an undetermined end. MENCHVILLE R LANDFILL CLOSED USE NEW LANDF IY — HARWOOD Traditions die hard at Menchville, but the clos ing of the landfill opposite the campus was a welcome change, ending the swarms of flies and seagulls at the school.

Once situated in the side courtyard, the flagpole was moved due to the onset of construction. Support beams help hold up the newly erected walls which will form Menchville’s third cafeteria.

Enthusiasm for home basketball games unify the spectators. — FOSTER — MATTHEWS Menchville varsity jackets, a preponderance of purple and gold, and school pride accompany most Monarchs who attend away basketball games. Senior Chuck Longacre acknowledges the greeting of a friend as he searches for a seat in the bleachers. Hackey-sack sweeps the school, and enthusiasts enjoy playing during lunch or any free time. Ryan Jones demonstrates his prowess under the close observations of Charles Zachary, John Bane, and David Umphlett. 8 Life “Life, be in it’ aptly served as an un- stated slogan for the people at Mench- ville. Each person had his own character- istics, including the desire to be with oth- ers at school, work, play, or the family. Each aspect of a person’s life marked an unprecedented event that deserved attention. These aspects included feel- ings, thoughts, and actions which consti- tuted a person’s individual beliefs. Ob- served Ted Watts, ‘If anything, a person should be asked to join a group to give it a different perspective.” After six or seven periods of classes, some students furthered their exper- lences by working at a part time job or club activities. Although, as Cindy Brock exclaimed, ‘Work is something | do to gain independence from my mom,” it also created hardships within the family unit that accentuated the pleasures of being home. ! really enjoy coming home at times because it gives me a break from the hassles of life,“” admitted one junior.

Seniors enjoy leaving sampus for one period, but grimace at the cost of such excursions. 4 ‘it’s very expensive to be a senior,” said an exasperated Tonia Dingle. “You get a job and then where does all the money go?” What caused a senior’s hard-earned money to disappear? Common culprits were senior portraits, announcements, caps and gowns, diplomas, and class dues. Pictures, though expensive, were a tradition for seniors. Commented Lisa Bankett, ‘Pictures are an important part of your senior year. You want to remember your friends and want them to remember you.” With the wide variety of picture packages available, checks nearing the one hundred dollar mark were not uncommon. Graduation caps and gowns required a sixteen dollar payment, and because of the selection of a new style of gown, made of a better quality material, seniors were unable to borrow robes from past graduates. The cost of diploma covers was included in this fee. Class dues of twelve dollars coupled with the purchase of announcements, thank-you notes, name caras, and other official senior memorabilia, resulted in the loss of almost fifty dollars of personal spending money or parents’ money. Carl Brunson admitted, ‘it’s very expensive; however, it’s worth the JEFF BARNES MICHAEL BARNETT ADDIE BASKERVILLE CARLTON BATKIN DONNA BATTLE SHERRIE BEAVER RUSSELL BELMORE FRANKIE BELVIN CARLA BENNETT DEBORAH BENNETT GILBERT BETHEA MARLENE BIDELMAN EDWARD BIMLER CARON BINDER ALICIA BISHOP MARK BITTNER JAMES BLACK MINDY BLACKWELL NANCY BOLLINGER DAVID BOTT MICHAEL BOUTWELL SCOTT BRABRAND TANYA BRADFORD LYDIA BRANCH JEROME BRAXTON KEEYA BRAXTON LAMBERTO BRAZA SPENDIRPIFES price because these are sentimental thoughts of your senior year.’” Agreeing with Carl, Wanda Featherson added, ‘It’s expensive to be a senior, but it’s well worth it.” Yearbooks were also popular items for seniors. This permanent collection of faces, events, and achievements was an excellent souvenir from the final year of high school. ‘Pictures make the memories last,“ said publications photographer Mike Esber. These expenses were in large part voluntary. As Ed Singer remarked, ‘'It’s not ‘you have fo buy this.’ These things are there to buy if you want them.” Ah, college. In adaition to being concemed about money for memorabilia, seniors had to worry about money for college application fees. Fees began around fifteen dollars and went up from there. Transcript request forms cost $1.50 for each one after the first request. All totalled, seniors were out almost three hunared dollars by the end of the year, if they so chose. Many saved the money for spring break, beach week, summer vacation.

American involvement grew aramatically in order to prevent the imminent South Vietnamese collapse under Communist pressure and fo shift momentum to the anti-Communist side. — BLACKWELL Most students agreed that the United States involvement in Vietnam was a mistake. ‘It was a senseless war. Vietnam had no direction because no matter where it went, we would lose. t served as another example of United States imperialism, “ — AP Inscribed with the names of more than 58,000 dead or missing soldiers from the Vietnam conflict, the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C., symbolizes that America has not forgotten the men and women that gave their lives in an unpopular war. commented Esther Lockwood. Many others were critical of the government's decision. ‘There was nothing in Vietnam that was a threat to the freedom of the citizens of the United States of America. Forcing someone to fight and kill contradicts the entire principle on which this country is based,’ commented Frank Albert. Though most thought American involvement in Vietnam was wrong, they did not believe in the treatment of the veterans upon their return to the United States. ‘It was not our war. Many Americans lost their lives meaninglessly. We treated the returning veterans like outcasts,“ stated Ed Singer. Others felt the same. ‘They were treated poorly, because these people fought for our country and did not get any recognition. When the hostages returned from Iran, they were treated like heroes,’’ added Scott Norman. “The soldiers should not have been blamed.” — Steffen Brocks — Seemingly senseless loss of American lives in the Vietnam conflict outrages Scott Norman.

Finally, the moment arrives. David Zoby learns trom Mrs. Elaine Clevenson that his physique has been enhanced by playing football as offensive guard. ee Rules and regulations provided a framework to follow in certain aspects of high school life. One such regulated activity was the state stipulated weight and height measurement, conducted twice a year. Although mandated by state health rules, these medical investigations allowed for a review of the general health and well being of the students. Government procedures often created opinions that revealed diverse attitudes. When being weighed and measured, some students commented that there ‘“‘were benefits such as sighting a possible problem.’’ On the other hand, students also felt that the proceaure constituted a needless waste of time and created an embarassing situation for those sensitve Foster DANA DONAU BOBBY DONAVAN JOHNNIE DRIVER CHRISTEN DUCHEMIN D EBORAH DUDLEY DONNIE EDWARDS KARI ELLIOT IVY ELLISON REGINA ELLISON MIKE ESBER LILLIAN EVERETTE KELLY EVERSOLE WESLEY EVERSON THOMAS FAULKNER LORI FALLS WANDA FEATHERSON JERRY FENNELL LAWRENCE FERBEE JASMIN FESTERIDGE VICTOR FIELDS MARY FINCH ANN FITZGERALD MICHAEL FLANIGAN MICHAEL FOLEY KARINE FORD PAMELA FORD STEPHANIE FOSTER MEASURING UP to their weight or height. Senior Stephanie Foster said, ‘'!’m glad they keep track of our measurements because it’s a great excuse to get out of English class twice a year.” Teachers also expressed negative opinions concerning the twice yearly measurement taking. Mrs. Lucy Kelly, an English teacher, felt that herding students to the clinic ‘“‘wasted valuable class time.” English teacher Mrs. Diane Scott added, '! think departments other than the English and P.E. should share the burden of interruptions.’ Mrs. Elaine Clevenson, the school nurse, stated, ''Perhaps once a year would be sufficient.“ — Sara Mouring — Seniors 19 11, 12; Science Club 9; Who's Who 12.

The board was the perfect answer.” Debbie Vaughan, like most seniors, tried out for the board to take an active part in class activities to make her final year at Menchville memorable. In adaition to attending car washes, selling magazines, and collecting dues of twelve dollars, the executive board continued its unique tradition of service projects. They made their annual Halloween visit to the children’s ward of Riverside Hospital and donated one hunared dollars to the Daily Press Christmas Fund. They also included fun events in their busy calendar. A Christmas party at board member Deborah Powers’ house ‘provided a welcome and timely relief from the endless work during the senior year,” commented Brian Holland. Work and satisfaction were also involved in the planning of such events as the Senior Banquet and Prom. The amount of work required for the success of these projects was overshadowed by the dreams and aspirations of the culmination of the senior year. ‘The board intermixed the work and fun projects to have a successful senior year,” noticed Lisa Bankett.

SO many minds were developed to be the contri- buters and controllers of tomorrow’s world. Developing the mind was an impor- tant aspect of a Menchville education. However, the body was not neglected as was evident by the senior’s endur- ance or determination to excel in ath- letics. As well as the fun of playing and competing, sports offered a place to release stress. Mike Nice commented, “After a long day of failing tests and getting yelled aft, it’s a good way fo release the pressures of school.” Creativity also distinguished some seniors. Artists, musicians, and actors were another group who had a means of releasing energy through artistic cre- ativity. David Hinson stated, ‘Playing in a band as a extra-curricular activity al- lows me to express myself as well as to release the pressure stored up during the school week.’’ Other seniors took their creative abilities even further. _ Frank Albert, who hoped to perform in a | professional orchestra, exclaimed, ‘‘Mu- sic is my life; just ask my teachers.” | | Recognition for high academic stan- dards also characterized the graduat- ing class. These high standards offered a challenge to many students, such as Scott Brabrand who accepted it and succeeded. He said, ‘It is important that when you look back on your high school career that you know you had set goals and accomplished them. It gives you pride and self-satisfaction. Some seniors sought leadership posi- tions. Nick Anthony, president of the SCA, stated, “When you are a student leader, you must have the type of per- sonality that keeps everyone in a happy and delightful mood. A leader cannot afford to let the pressure get to him.” For Nick Anthony, personality generat- ed leadership traits. Characteristics of a typical senior in- cluded a desire to be the best. David Custer stated, “'A typical senior enjoys being on top of the high school world, but stops short of thinking he knows it all as a ‘new beginning’ (college or career) approaches.” Although at the top in one world, the seniors knew that they would have far to go in their new post- | lives. high school lives Bem 12; Varsity Club 10, 11, 12, Chaplain 11, Vice-President 12. 0 JUGLAS WILLIAM HARVEY: Basebail 10, 11, 12.

Killackey PROMISE OF PEACE Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and the President of the United States Ronald Reagan offered a renewal for a chance of terminating the buildup of each country’s nuclear arsenal at the summit in Geneva, Switzerland, in November, 1985. The meeting formed promises of peace. The summit discussed the so-called arms race between the two superpowers. For some seniors if was not a race. ‘‘How can it be a race when there will be no winner?” questioned Sherrie Beaver. Others feared a lack of concern by the American public of the nuclear arms buildup. ‘'! do not understand the idea of winning a nuclear war because it is not possible. We do not take it seriously enough,’’ commented Rob Young. Many students expressed a lack of faith in President Reagan’s Space Defense Initiative program, better known as Star Wars, as an end to ee ee ee a he A. mae «od Bae 7.

Terry Parrisher felt the arms buildup is a costly mistake. ‘We are running and running, getting nowhere, just wasting money.” Other Monarchs believed nuclear weapons as necessary to counter the supposed Soviet threat. 'As long as the Soviet Union is advancing, we need to keep going to stay ahead,”’ emphasized David Zoby. Given a chance for peace between the United States and the Soviet Union, Trey Daniels optimistically stated, ‘‘One day we will cross the great sea of bitterness that surrounds us, and cast aside our flags of aifferent ideologies. We will not be Americans or Soviets, but human beings, living under one flag the white flag.” — Steffen Brocks — “a Seniors 25 Lund al aa Most cars get an overhaul every 5,000 miles. But this car, a 1975 General Moters Kadett, waits only for the Saturday when metal meets sledgehammer and faces certain destruction. No one interrupts senior Scott Mewborn during his swing.

The powerful swing of a sledgehammer released bottled up anxieties of school, sports, cars, and loved ones. Tickets were one dollar for five swings. For some pleasuread-filled students, the smashing of the car symbolized the end to school failures. Passing English and Government courses constituted a must for graduation. Decisions of college and employment after high school suffocated many seniors. Jonathan Ward commented, ‘! get so frustrated when | can’t figure Out a problem, that | want to hit something.” Deaicated sports fans got upset when losing struck them. Obvious tension was evident when wrestlers did not make weight, and when Monarchs lost the Menchville-Denbigh basketball game. Terry Parisher said, '... the biggest blow of disappointment and rage appeared when the Miami IETY Dolphins beat the Chicago Bears.” These feelings of rage and anxiety were released with the bash of the sledgehammer. Tension and anger were evident in the student parking lot as cars were wrecked and tickets handed out. Hit and run accidents left students with no alibi, no money, and no car. Aarian Moris commented, ‘'! was flaming mad when | received a ticket for speeding back from lunch.” Parking restrictions remained stiff and students were upset. Peers and parents were causes of the frustrations released at the ‘Car Bash.“ Fights and disagreements between girlfriends and boyfriends were a major focus of frustrations. Marlene Bidelman related, '' really get angry when my boyfriend acts inconsiderate and unfeeling.’ Some people placed demands on students causing stress to surface. ‘'My parents feel | am irresponsible,’ stated Garrett Davenport. Instead of resorting to hitting walls or throwing books, students got a chance fo blow frustrations at the ‘Car Bash.” — Nancy Bollinger — i — SINGER KRISTY LYNN LEE: Concert Choir 9; Swing Ensemble 10, 11; FBLA 12; Homeroom Representative 9; Key Club 9; Teacher's Aide 11.

Class President Scott Brabrand felt, ‘Our class has reached out to new people, tapping talents of a larger proportion of students than any other class in recent years.” Cooperation was the essence of the seniors’ success. The officers, executive board, and sponsors worked well togeth- er; as secretary Andreanna Anastasiou commented, ''We are all friends.” Enthu- siastic reporter Andria Maestrello com- mended sponsors Mrs. Valerie Kenney and Mrs. Sonara Morton for doing... “a great job holding the class together. Mrs. Kenney stands back and lets us go through our trials and tribulations, letting us learn from our mistakes.“ As a result of the sponsors’ desire for the officers to work on their own, these student leaders learned the value of leadership. Andria Maestrello noted, ‘Be- ing reporter has made me more interest- ed in the class, more active. As an Officer, lam forced into a leadership role; people know | am a class representative, and they expect me to behave accoraing- ly.’ The other officers also benefited from serving the class in their respective posi- tions. Vice-President Eddie Miller conced- ed that being an officer required dedica- tion and “a lot of responsibility in that | want to please as many people as possi- ble; | want to contribute the best effort possible so the class can stand out ... it enhances my self-confidence when tak- ing on roles of leadership.” Serving as class leaders benefited the Officers in other aspects of the school. President Scott Brabrand observed that treasurer Missy Martin’s ‘talent was rec- ognized not only as a class officer, but also as Homecoming Chairman.’ Class service developed into school service for this treasurer. Remembering the constituents in the class was never a problem for President Scott Brabrand. His enthusiasm for his po- sition and duties was revealed when he stated, “Our senior class embodies the spirit of excellence in academics, activi- ties, and athletics unlike any other class before. Our greatest asset, though, is the people themselves. Their depth, diversity, and commitment to excellence are un- equaled in the history of Menchville High SCIOOlE: — Missy Martin — Seniors 29 The student life of the class of 1986 was as diverse as the students. Football games, parties, concerts, movies, and school activities were all part of student life. The most important aspect of these activities was the role they played in shaping a person’s character. Seniors followed what most interested them and learned from the experience of their involvement. However, fun usually constituted the main objectives of these pursuits. Some used the resources of the school while some aid not. Music played a large part in student life. Seniors enjoyed listening to music and going to concerts. Eric Helm commented, ‘! like concerts because you get to feel the music as well as communicate with the performers.” Menchville seniors also liked to party. Parties introduced the seniors to adult situations. Stacy Walls believed, “Most students are responsible about their arinking habits. ’’ James Poplin suggested that there was more fo parties than just fun. He stated, ‘Parties are the ever-present nucleus of high school sphere of society, meaning parties directly affect the moral and attituainal voice of a generation.” While partying on the weekend, some seniors also engaged in school related activities. During the Christmas holidays, clubs abounded with activity such as the Key Club’s volunteer work 30 Seniors Developing Diversity Distributing candy fo young children is part of the entertainment pro vided at the annual Christmas concert. Lisa Woolard spreads enthusiasm among the audience as she portrays an elf. — TALBOT for the Salvation Army, consisting of donating man hours during the cold of winter. Stated senior Doug Powell, “Even though the weather was not always pleasant, | felt assured aft times that the work being done contributed to the worthy cause of helping less fortunate people in Newport News.” Being active in a club for several years had its advantages for those seniors with high aspiritions in life. Reggie Owens, president of the FBLA, noted, ‘Leadership is a skill that can be nurtured with experience. Seniors have an advantage in this sense because they have been involved with Menchville activities longer than anyone else.”’ Group involvment netted leadership positions for some seniors. Leading a club had its strains; however, avenues existed allowing for a creative outlet of energy. Every senior was aware of the beach, knowing that it cultivated surfers who loved their sport. Todd Zenetti stated, Surfing is a fun sport. Some surfers study tide charts to find the best time to ride.“’ Even having fun called for research and plans. Growing as an individual marked the senior class. Working as a class to obtain the common goal of personal achievement aistinguished the seniors as people different from who they were four years earlier. — Ted Watts — trial Arts Club 9, 10; Intramurals 10; Science Ciub 11; Teach- er'’s Aide 11; SADD 12; Vo Tech 11, 12.

By play- ing a role in amock government, partici- pants learned about democracy, the two-party system of Caucuses, Conven- tions, campaigns, and citizens’ rights and privileges. It was an honor to be chosen to attend the Boy’s and Girl’s State. Mak- ing the most of this once in a lifetime opportunity, Nick Anthony, Eric Holloway, Missy Martin, Lee Ratledge, and Amy Rus- sell learned about government in an in- teresting way. Nick Anthony, determined to make a name for himself during his week with boys from all over Virginia, immediately assumed a position of leadership by be- ing chosen arill sergeant for his city. He earned the right to be in charge of keep- ing his city in line while marching from place to place because he was the most experienced Jr ROTC member present. Caught in the enthusiasm of Boy’s State, Nick campaigned for the office of Lieu- tenant Governor, one of the three top positions in the state, and one which Nick won. Nick reflected, ‘! knew nothing about running for office; | hadn’t even planned to run. | just wanted to obtain knowledge of our government to help in my senior year.“ Planning on being a poll- tician later in life, Nick ‘thought the ex- perience would be a good way to get votes in the future.“ Eric Holloway called Boy’s State ‘‘an exercise in leadership and development, an opportunity to express patriotic feel- ings.’” Elected Commonwealth Attorney from his city, he had two cases and had fun being involved and running the state. What impressed Eric the most was ‘“'the unity, determination, and power exper- ilenced marching in unison.“ The girls agreed that marching double file with yellow beanies on the leff and blue beanies on the right to assemblies and speeches added to the fun of Girl’s State. ‘‘We did so much in one week!” commented Amy Russell, ' really learned alot from the soeeches of Attorney Gen- eral Baliles and Governor Robb ... Our nominating conventions for these state Offices often lasted for four hours, but now | understand how the system works. We also learned about the corruption in politics, For example, Missy Martin ran for attorney general but was defeated be- cause her ‘sister city’ split its vote be- tween her and another candidate.” Lee Ratledge spoke for all who attena- ed when she said, ‘The lasting friendships that we formed made Girl’s State spe- cial. Being thrown together with 600 oth- er girls you’ve never seen before forces you to make friends. | think it was good for us all, and we still write to friends we made there!” — Missy Martin — Seniors 33 Priode MAN WITH A MISSION On my honor, I'll do my best to do my duty, to God and my country, and to obey the Scout Law,” recited kris Van Deusen when he entered the Boy Scouts. He then expanded his experiences by volunteering his time for the community, and dedicating himself to his church. Badges and patches aid not keep Kris in the scouting program. Rather, he stayed because of the fun and leadership experience obtained with his troop located at Hiddenwood Presbyterian Church, where he served as Senior Patrol Leader. He remembered a time when on a camping trio he was alone with his patrol group and no adults were around. ‘These two guys started fussing and arguing about who should! wash dishes. | had to bring them under control, then talk them into being reasonable. That was my job.” kris was also Senior Patrol Leader at the National Jamboree which placed ROBERT PRIODE WILLIAM QUANTZ LeELYN RAPER LEE RATLEDGE JOHN REILLY STEPHANIE REQUA BILLY RHODES KATHY RICHARDSON MICHAEL RICHARDSON RENEE RICHARDSON SHANNON RIDDLE BRIAN RIDLEY ANGELA ROBERSON RHONDA ROBERTS ANDRE ROBINSON DALE ROBINSON JANICE ROBINSON SUZANNE ROE KELLY ROGERS TRICIA RONE ELEANOR ROUSE DEAN ROYAL DARICH RUNYAN AMY RUSSELL LIEN RYDER WORTH SAUNDERS FELECIA SAVAGE 34 Seniors him in the position of responsibility of running his troop, conducting inspections, and hanaling problems. He aamitted that spotting those who needed help “... was difficult. But | wanted to help, so ! tried my hardest to give helo when and if needed.” His dedication resulted in his reception of the Eagle Scout Award, the highest award offered by the Scouting organization. Not only did Kris lead, he also learned. Leadership experiences directed him to a position of responsiblity in his church. He believed that he must help fulfill the word of God, and he saw a chance to do this while at a church retreat. At the Virginia United Methoaist Assembly Center, Kris was exposed to the topic of missionary work, In fact, .. the theme of this session was ‘Missionary.’ | became enticed with the whole deal, filled out an application and got accepted in January, 1986.” Departing the second week in Community oriented and dedicated fo serving others, Kris Van Deusen plans to do missionary work in the summer of ‘86. August, Kris’s destination was Coste. Rica, where he would spend threé weeks helping the people. The money for the trip was provided, in part, by his church, his youth group, private donations, parents, and working a job ‘ don’t think raising the money will be as hard as getting there,’’ admitted kris, “| have a choice — walk for twenty days or risk landing on hilly ground. Costa Rica has no airports. Buf, | know this will sound corny, | want} some adventure in my life. Besides, | wil help to build an agricultural school.’ Perhaps a hilly landing did await Kris in Costa Rica, but so aid his call to help others, Helping people through his work with the Scouts and his ae characterized part of Kris Van Deusen’s life.

For the first time in Virginia’s history, a black and a woman were elected to two of the top three positions in the Commonwealth’s government. Douglas Wilder was elected Lieutenant Governor, and Mary Sue Terry won the office of Attorney General. Replacing Governor Charles Robb was former Attorney General Gerald Baliles. Most students at MHS concurred that women and blacks in office created a more fully reoresentative government. Fred Ciarlo commented, ‘Their election will expand the Virginia government and bring new views and opinions to the legislature. ’’ Kim Bajcsi agreed, “Our government needs the ideas and views of everybody, including women and blacks. ”’ Race and sex as qualifications for public office were widely ignored. Explained senior Lamberto Braza, ‘It doesn’t matter; just as long as they’re good. Physical attributes have no bearing on a candidate’s performance capabllities.’’ Mrs. Valerie Kenney said she never allowed these ‘‘physical attributes’ to bias her decision when voting: ''Because | look at a person’s ability and qualifications first, | never considered race or sex.” Wilder and Terry achieved personal goals, and many felt the two paved the way for future women and blacks who would seek state office. Edwin Green announced, “This election willl open the race wider for future blacks and women who want fo run for Office.“ — Missy Martin — Seniors 37 Oo TOM TOMPKINS: J.V.

Issac Asimov stated in an article in USA Today, ‘There is no way the nerves could have carried the message of pain fast enough. It was just like blinking out... .” — ESBER Presentation of a training suit marks Christa McAuliffe’s assurance that she is scheduled to be the first private American citizen to enter space. The New Hampshire teacher died with the other six astronauts on January 28, 1986. 4 a y — ALL PHOTOS BY AP All systems had the green light. As the liftoff commenced, the solid rocket 2o0osters and the engines fueled by the iquid hydrogen and oxygen tanks 2erformed their duties of proviaing ‘thrust to lift the space shuttle ‘Challenger into the morning air. But, these sources of thrust turned into a oowerful bomb after only one minute, twelve seconas into flight. The $1.2 illion dollar shuttle was no more; only a trail of smoke after an explosion ndicated that the craft had ever ‘existed. Commander Francis R. Scobee, Pilot Michael Smith, Judith Resnick, Ronald E. McNair, Ellison Onizuka, Christa VcAuliffe, and Gregory Jarvis were dead. Such an event (the only time American astronauts had been killed in flight) affected not only the personal lives of the families involved, but also he nation as a whole. Shock, disbelief, | and a new sense of conviction characterized the reaction throughout most of the nation. Like other Americans, students witnessed this event and considered the ramifications. Television played a unifying role because it was the way most students found out about the event. Scott Layman was “... just watching t.v., and | just happened to turn it to the channel.”’ He added, “! was shocked. | saw it and didn’t turn it back.” Although dismayed, he realized that such a tragedy should not alter the intention s of the space shuttle program: ‘You can’t let one incident interfere with the space exploration. We have the seven astronauts to keep us going. It’s what they would want.” Scott’s comment was not unique, for Mrs. Scobee, wife of Commandarder Scobee, asked for the program to continue. Because her dad worked with National Aeronautics and Space Aaministration and was connected with other space shuttle flights, Karen Hinson expressed, ‘'! was shocked and disbelieved it. | was also sad because dad would be upset.” Clearly, more ROBBIE THEOBALD ALBERTA THOMAS BRIAN THOMAS DONNIE THOMAS TOM THOMAS JON THON TAMMY TIMBERLAKE THOMAS TOMPKINS HATTIE TOPPING LUOM TRUONG RONALD TUCKER TONY TUCKER MARC TURNER KIMBERLY TYNES KRIS VAN DEUSEN SCOTT VAN DYKE DEBORAH VAUGHAN DOUG VAUGHAN TRACY VINSON SHERRY VORWALD THEODORE WALKER STACEY WALLS DANA WALLS KATHLEEN WALSH CHARLES WARD ERIC WARD JONATHAN WARD OF EPIC PROPORTION people than just the families of the shuttle crew felt the loss. Stunned silence marked Dana Danau’s family’s reaction to the catastrophe. She recalled that a friend told them to watch the news which made Dana ‘.. go into shock. The only thing | said was ‘Oh, my God!’ ” Without rationalizing this event or giving it a purpose, the loss of lives would become senseless. Many people agreed that the program should continue. Karen Hinson affirmed, ‘Don’t stop the program. It would be the worst thing to do. The accident is a learning experience.” Suffering an event of epic porportion must be given meaning. John Parker commented that 'now if a delay comes, let it delay ... get everything right.’ NASA sought to prevent the loss of lives. Its safety record of losing only ten lives (the other three being in the Apollo capsule fire which claimed the lives of astronauts Grissom, White, and Chaffee) airectly involved with a space launch proved its reliability. But the tragedy of January 28 delayed by at least a year America’s shuttle program. — Fric Holloway — Seniors 39 Ward KATHY WARD FRED WARREN KRAIG WARTHAN TERRY WASHINGTON CLINTON WATKINS DONNA WATKINS WARREN WATKINS TED WATTS TODD WEBB EARL WEBSTER PAIGE WENDT KATHLEEN WEST ANDREA WHEELER LESLIE WHITE WILL WHITE KATHY WHITE MICHAEL WHITE GRIFFIN WILLIAMS VICKI WILLIAMS JOHN WILMOTH CHENE WILSON JOHN WILSON TIMOTHY WILSON DANIEL WOOD KEITH WOODY LISA WOOLARD MICHELE YARBOROUGH KRISTEN YOUNG ROB YOUNG DAVID ZOBY 40 Seniors Ward Choir 11; Concert Choir 10; Male Chorus 10; JROTC Color Guard 10; Honor Club 11, 12; Hero Club 11, 12.

UNDERLYING SERIOUSNESS Designated as the seniors with the ten highest cumulative grade point averages, Scott Brabrand, Luther Jenkins, Eric Holloway, Tom Allen, Julie Peterson, Missy Martin, Sung Hong, Doug Powell, Worth Saunders, and Jan Morris comprised a group of students who ... had an opportunity and took it,” according to Worth Saunders. They represented what dedication to a goal, any goal, would achieve. Academically, they were the Top Ten and were pleased in earning this recognition, but they also realized that rough roads and other gifted people lay ahead. “Nothing comes without sacrifice, observed Scott Brabrand about the time and effort placed into the recognition granted to him and nine others. ‘It has taken sacrifices of personal, family, and leisure time ..., he expounded. But as Missy Martin noted, ‘‘No matter what, I’m happy ... It’s a reward to get a little recognition for having worked so hard.” Being in the top ten was viewed as an honor, but it was not gained without hardship that was seen as a positive force, one that, according to Scott Brabrand “pulls us together.” Grades, books, and tests did not control these students’ lives, however. Worth Saunders stated, ‘It’s a well rounded group. All are involved with activities, athletics, or something. We have people interested in business, science, law — it’s a diverse group.” This Civersity created various responses by those in the top ten. Tom Allen commented, ‘It’s more important because of college. It’s the only major reason why it’s important to me. | mean, | won’t make a big deal of it. My parents know,” and with a slight smile he added, ‘7! occasionally use it to pick up girls. They fall for it every time.“ Scott Brabrand qualified that by uu TOP TEN. Seated: Luther Jenkins, co-valedictorian,; Scott Brabrand, co-valedictorian. Standing: Jan Morris (10); Tom Allen (4); Doug Powell (7), Eric saying, ‘We joke about it, but it’s important underneath.” This importance caused an inner arive that “’... encouraged me along, even when | thought it all didn’t matter, ‘' reflected Missy Martin. Striving for academic excellence formed an intense, almost race-like atmosphere to get into the top ten. Such zest brought forth criticism from some not in the class, buf ... our preoccupation with grades has caused our Class to excel. It’s what we need. It would have been a different story if we had not been learning while we were making the grade. Competition did not make us lose sight of our true purpose,” exclaimed Luther Jenkins, ; there’s more to life than graduating third or fifth or whatever in a high school class,’ theorized Jan Morris. Pictured and framed, the top ten hung in a free space on a wall in the main office. Fifteen other groups at MHS like it had the same recognition and other groups across the nation basked in similar limelight. As such, the top ten viewed itself with pride for obtaining a common goal, but also remembered the limited extent of their achievements. Doug Powell admitted, ‘I’ve worked hard but I’m not the seventh smartest person in the class. There are other kids smarter than |.

Wayne demonstrated the ability to do both. Wayne, along with his class officers and executive board, led the Class of 1987 to a sizable treasury of approximately $4,000. Much of the money came from the “Trifles” trivia game funa-raiser. Wayne assisted in selling the game, and helped furn the project into a monetary success. Wayne’s ambition and energy were not only seen in school but on a personal level as well. He took a Job as an electrician’s assistant during the summer of 1985 ‘mainly for the money.” In addition to the money, however, he was able to learn about the construction business on a basic level as he helped wire houses with a master electrician.

His arive and sincere enthusiasm in his class’s activities began in his sophomore year, when he worried that the class was not doing enough to prepare for Junior Ring Dance and Senior Prom. Wayne said, ‘The Class of 1987 had potential; it just wasn't being brought out.” Wayne Sorrell used his spirit and energy and “prought the spirit out of the Class.” — Scott Mewborn — Juniors 47 Excited by their new ariving privileges, many juniors began to experience high school social life with an outright attempt to abuse this freedom. The embarass- ment of parents picking the kids up after Aances or dates vanished like early morn- ing fog in the summer time. Beth Galo commented, ‘it’s really good to be able to do what you want to do, go where you want to go without having your. par- ents Chauffeur you around all the time.” Since the kids earned the privilege of staying out later because the parents aid not have to worry about waiting to pick up the kids, the new arivers were allowed to stay out later than in years past. Later curfews enabled them to party or per- haps even aiscover intimate locations with a date. Although free to roam in their cars, some Juniors found themselves in an ironic situation, Initially, they sought a car for more freedom. Now, some juniors found that most of the time they spent outside of school pertained to their ‘freedom ve- hicles” that caused them financial short- comings. These shortcomings necessitat- ed the pursuit not of leisure activities, but, rather of a part-time job. These jobs en- abled the juniors to afford the cars that once offered so much freedom and promise. This created a less than party atmosphere that led some juniors to take the attitude of ‘party hard — but less often.” Jobs created roadblocks to personal freedom, but, school also absorbed the Juniors’ time. “The pressure of having to find a college next year makes you strive to ao well in classes that are a challenge sgigonpesescecune Se David Jones Jeff Jones George Jones Jennyfer Jones Margaret Jones Randy Jordan Scott Jordan Jeff Joyce Michelle Joyner Laura Keever Linda Keller Christine Kelly Billy Kelley Steven Kelley Barry Kennedy Baird Kilpatrick Sei Kim Joey Kimbel Anthony King Laura King Cheryl Knight Scott Laine James Lamm Mayorie Langford 48 Juniors FREE TO ROAM to you,” commented Harry Benz.

Though known for its new-found unity, the Junior Class discovered that the future also bonded them together. They had to determine their future, to decide if a career or college were the next few steps in their lives. Dualism marked this class and the typical junior. It was not common to hear that there existed no “typical” junior because the class consisted of individuals, not a group that always experienced the same events or held the same aesires for life. The individuality of this class consisted of diversification, not group identity that depended on the fluctuating opinions or beliefs of the masses. — Sandy Godwin — Michael Williams Terrance Williams Tony Williams Tyrena Williams Darrin Wills Anarea Wilson Kristi Wilson Steve Wilson Mike Winkles Lynne Wiseman lvan Woodard Lynnette Yaacy Sophanna Yang James Yarkey Shawn Yoder Patricia Young Charles Zachary Lisa Zartman Lynne Zartman Troy Zellers Larry Zimmerman Juniors 53 Joyce Adamowski Lamont Adkinson Thomas Alba Victor Albea Liz Alexander Frances Alfred Deana Alford Frances Alfred John Allen Tammy Allen Jean Amendolia Mary Anastasiou Charlene Anderson Kendal Ascher Christy Atkins Gary Austin Scott Auvil Matt Baker Otis Bailey Robyn Bailey Tryna Bailey Triene Baldwin La Tonya Ballard Reginald Baltimore John Bane Ernest Banks Kim Banks Melissa Bass Patrick Bateman Robert Baughans Amy Beamer Lynnel Beauchesne Kurt Beck Deanna Becker Wayne Bell David Belmonte Steve Bethea Lamont Bethea Brian Bevins Joey Biggs Kurt Bimler Angelia Blackburn David Blackwell Joyce Bodadie Brian Bolt Jamie Bond Stacy Bouteiller Aarian Bowden Jeffrey Bowen Stephen Bowman Charles Bradley Paula Bradshaw Kim Branch Lori Branning Kim Brant Amy Bray Leslie Brewer Charles Bridges Brian Britt Joy Britt Diane Brock Rhonda Brooks Joyce Brown Troy Brown Angela Browning Sean Browning Edna Brunson Susan Buch Michael Buchanan Stacie Buckley Hung Bui Vincent Bullock Bullock Sophomores 55 Bunn Lavonda Bunn Jaynee Burroughs Angela Camden Jeffery Camm Michelle Campbell Kevin Carolina James Carroll Chris Carper Tara Carraway Toni Catron Sean Chambers Danny Chapman Sophomore Class Officers: President Lee Coker; Treasurer Liz Alexander; Vice-president Brook Jones; Secretary Beverly Hughes; Reporter Amy DeBerry.

Some kids sought alcohol or arugs as a means to cope with life. Others thought it would be cool to beat up another person or make fun of others to divert attention from their own problems. But at least one sophomore, Kippy McGehee, chose an alternative life style to sustain herself — she chose to follow the word of God as she saw If, letting it affect every aspect of her life including the church, music, and school. As editor of the The Cornerstone, a monthly newspaper written by youth at Northside Church of God, Kippy expressed her religious views as well as learned the hardships of being an editor. ‘The staff works mostly at home, but on the first Sunday of every month, we plan what will be in the next issue, and on the remaining Sundays, we put the issue together.” She tried to follow her beliefs dally, particularly in not judging others.

The organization of the new procedures in attendance was established through the coorainated efforts of attendance policy chairman Miss Diane Limerick and committee vice-chairman Mrs. Lynne Griffin. These two compiled ideas, field research, and final suggestions into one plan. “Teachers knew that students skipped classes or were absent the entire day. If they ever found out, it was Gays after the fact,” stated Mrs. Griffin. ‘There was too much responsibility on the teacher to follow up on an absent student.” Instead, a new method of accounting for student absences was developed by the committee. This committee, according to Mrs. Griffin, “... at first brainstormed. Then all ideas were grouped and recommendations were formed. After this initial phase, the committee conducted field research in Hampton and Newport News public schools. ‘It’s a combination of what’s best and most feasible for Menchville, “’ observed Mrs. Griffin. The procedure stipulated that a student’s absence must be reported to the office. Any absences must be on the Official excuse list.

It’s a little bit more strict. I've seen guys get snagged for skipping classes which they've gotten away with in the past.” Senior Griff Williams added, ‘‘There’s no way around it. It'll be good for the upcoming classes.” Need for a more effective attendance policy led to the formation of the new system. Although bemoaned, it provided a time when the entire school looked at one function,” summarized Mrs. Griffin. Even though some students objected, “Once we get used to it, there will be no problems,” concluded Mrs. Millie Stephenson. — Eric Holloway — Zachary Joe Trechter Chip Triplett John Triplett Shawn Triplett Terry Trojak Charles Trumble Tina Tubbs Christopher Tucker Karen Turner Thomas Turnitsa Claudia Tynes Delmond Tynes Edward Tynes Melody Tynes Tracy Tynes kim Vaccarelli Fletcher Valentine Lisa Van Gilder Diana Vaughan Scott Vaughan Tonya Vaughn Juanita Venable Jeff Veraldo Lynette Vinson Diane Vrendenburgh Chris Wade Patrick Wade Frank Walian Anna Walke Michael Wallace David Ward Denise Ward Mike Warner Kenny Washington Vicki Washington Billy Waters Michael Watkins Elizabeth Watson Ann Way Byron Weare Vicki Weatherford Kevin Weech Sherri Weeks Buck Wells Angela Wenemoser Charles West Elizabeth Whanger Eric White Paula White Brian Whitehead Sarah Whitehead Raloh Whitfield Scott Wiatt Bernadette Wichman Brian Willis Cheryl Williams Todd Williams Tracy Williams Wanaa Williams Yolanda Williams Bill Wilmoth Blythe Wilson Gina Wilson Mark Wiseman Ricky Witherspoon Carolyn Woolard Caryn Woolley Cynthia Wright Patsy Wright Shauron Wright Ray Young Rick Zachary Sophomores 67 Bucklew Chris Adams Diane Adams Jennifer Agnew Uneita Alexander Bill Allen Donna Allen Scott Allen Brandon Allred Michael Alston Tenique Anderson Michele Appleton Michael Armer Christy Ascher Shelvon Askew Tammy Atkins Arshina Ayler Fchante Bacon Nona BaCote Marlon BaCote David Bailey Gracelyn Baker Chris Balderson Manuel Bandy Shannon Banks Terrence Banks William Banks Melissa Bargeron Donnie Barkley John Barnes Amy Barnett April Bartlett Jon Bartlett Tammy Baskerville Eric Bates Steve Batten Yardley Batten Jerry Batts Brice Beddingfield Calvin Bell Chad Bell Tina Bell Charles Bellinger Tonya Bellinger Carl Bennett Jeff Benson Michelle Berryman Sherri Bertrand Nehemiah Biggs Gayle Bimler Kevin Black Shaun Blair Rhoda Blizzard Helena Bodadie James Boldy Marcus Boothe Tricia Bowser Clara Boyce Julie Boyd David Bradley Glenda Branch Robin Braxton Tora Brewington Amy Bright Jennifer Brittingham Brian Brock Janise Brown Lari Brown Nichele Brown Sherman Bryant Susan Bryant Lafawn Buchanan Eric Bucklew Freshmen 69 Bullock Randy Bullock Tess Bunch Michael Burden Karen Burkett Brian Butcher Barney Butler Heather Byrd Brad Cain Vanetta Cain Michelle Callahan David Camm Stacy Campbell Zhan Caplan Carie Carpenter Diane Carroll Jonathan Carroll James Cary Joey Cassell Gary Chenkin Shaleeta Cherry Monica Childs Jeannie Chittenden Robby Chindler Clifford Clark George Clark Sanara Clements Steven Cloutier Stacey Cofield Amy Cohen Karen Cole Sharon Cole Kristin Collins Kimberly Coleman Raymond Colvard Aretha Combs Christopher Compton Kevin Conner Derrick Conway Darryl Cook Mariam Cooper Trinh Copeland Ericka Corbin Aaron Cordle George Cornwell Kevin Cox William Cramer Cathi Crowder Scott Crowder David Culp Stacy Custer Gerald Cuyle Harold Dale David Daniel Jodie Daniel David Daniels Angela Davenport Ann Davis Christopher Davis Deveda Davis Gary Davis Kerry Davis Kimberly Davis Spencer Davis Patrick Day Joanna Deal Doug DeBerry Brenda Deborous Linda Debroux Scott Dedmond Alex DeForest Michael Dennis Michelle Dennis 70 Freshmen “te Racing through the solar system on a trajectory that brought it to the realms _of the earth’s orbit in space, a celestial object hurtled through the cold and dark void on a path that encircled the sun, completing one revolution every seventy-six years. Identified by Edmund Halley in 1682, this well-known comet re-entered the earth’s sight of vision in November 1985 and came closest to the planet in April 1986. Highly publicized and eagerly anticipated by many, this comet spawned followers of its progress who _ charted its movement. Astronomers contended that the comet would be at its brightest during the pre-dawn hours in April, especially when viewed as far south as possible. Cruises to the - Caribbean were booked for early April to spy the comet in its traditional form — with a visible tail streaking across the sky. HALLE Center to see Halley’s Comet. Caribbean cruises were the ultimate way to see the comet. But most at Menchville accepted a trip to Yorktown as a compromise. Stephanie LeMaster made it to the battle fields to see the comet through a friend's telescope. It looked just like a star through the telescope. Shawn LaFlamme added, “The comet is unique. We may not ever get another chance to see it again.” Telescopes and powerful binoculars enabled interested viewers fo spy the celestial marvel at various times in late 1985 and early 1986. Some fans even bought telescopes to better view the phenomenon and several retail stores noticed an increase in the sale of telescopes as the comet made its approach.

The social scene of most fourteen and fifteen year olds consisted of school activities and being carted to wherever the parents agreed to take them. For those freshmen with older friends who had cars, the possibilities for recreation multiplied. Adventures to the malls as well as club meetings during the week proved to be popular. Limited on the weekends for lack of a car, most freshmen enjoyed the activities hosted by the school during the week. One such near-weekly event to which freshmen could migrate was the renowned Menchville dance, noted for its high degree of supervision, according to English teacher Mrs. Joyce Douglas. For three hours the freshmen danced and learned about each other in a non- academic atmosphere. Football and basketball games also formed rungs on the freshman social ladder. These events allowed them to enjoy an activity attended by all Monarchs, opportunities for everyone to release energy and stress, The freshmen girls envisioned their hearts’ intents making the crucial play during the game, while the guys saw themselves on the court in the years to come.

Mr. John Caywood has worked to ensure that the freshmen re treated ‘with a lot of consideration and care.” This year freshmen became involved in a goal setting procedure. leeting with guidance counselors at the beginning of the year, freshmen were asked to set goals. Periodically counselors checked to see if the freshmen had made progress in obtaining their goals. Even with the program, the typical freshman found his first year a challenge. Faced with a new school environment, the typical freshman was )“worried about getting to class on time, losing a book, or having an upperclassman pick on him,” said Hal Scarborough. Derek Vehile said the typical freshman was “afraid of three sossaneyeecsseinemmmensntete Results Conclusion things, he is frightened of being rejected, he is scared of being picked on, and he is petrified of being put down.” Yet if the typical freshman was gripped by fear and anxiety, he quickly tried to overcome it. Many, as Laura Rieger noted, started “trying out for different sports and signing up for different clubs.’ Jody Mirmelstein added, ‘Most freshmen go to all the football games, dances, and other school activities.’’ After a few uncertain months, freshmen “start feeling as if they are beginning fo fit in, and as if they belong,” said Tricia Quantz. The typical freshman also had to cope with new teachers and instruction methods. In order to understand the lessons, freshmen asked lots of questions. Scott Hent said that the typical freshman “carries all of his books and notebooks wherever he goes ... During lunch he will always be — MATTHEWS Zuckerwar doing his homework.” The typical freshman also experimented with a new lifestyle. Greater freedom in school allowed for more time to socialize. ‘‘We like to talk to guys, attend parties, and meet other people,” said Ann Bright. Many freshmen became more interested in the social aspects of school than in instruction. ‘We like the school but not the work,” said Jennifer McMicken, reflecting on the freshman attitude. The typical freshman was surely eager to put his freshman year behind him. Enduring a year of setting goals, doing homework, trying to fit in, and getting involved in athletics and activities gave the freshman valuable experience for his future years at Menchville. — Scott Brabrand — CREATING THE SCENE Snowpuff prepares to pounce, but it is calmed by Donnie Barkley at his house over the holidays waiting for his ride to a party.

Good music, friends and chaperones were essential for any successful dance. Chaperones at the dances kept a watchful and protective eye on the students to ensure that they remained safe while having fun. These guardians played an important role, for without their presence, the aaministration would not allow the event to occur. Teachers who chaperoned allowed clubs to sponsor dances that raised essential funds and allowed the students to gather at the school in a relatively less stressful environment. Mrs. Mayme BaCote explained, ‘'‘the kids want to come to the dances. We want them to have the dances and enjoy themselves, but it is policy to have chaperones. We are there if the dance organizers want us, helping the kids. °’ Teachers enjoyed seeing other sides of students.

While students complained of the inconvenience, | teachers discovered themselves competing with the noise and the large machines for the students’ attention during the first weeks of the second month of school. Such was the condition that some teachers resorted to pulling the window shades down ‘'to prevent the students from studying the progress of the building instead of the blackboard ... it is hard to compete with bulldozers,” exclaimed an exasperated Mrs. Dorothy Quesenberry. Yet, the teachers remained patient, realizing the need for expansion. Coach Richard “Pops” Pitts admitted, “Any time there is construction, it is short term pain for long term pleasures.’’ Art teacher Mr. Ken Bowen decided that building was the only possible solution to the conaition which affected both those trying to teach and those trying to learn: ‘The construction is less a problem than is the overcrowding ... cramped quarters lead to cramped thinking.’’ He added optimistically, ‘Next year should be better.” Social Studies Department Head Mrs. Mayme BaCote eagerly anticipated the improvements, as the completion of the new academic wing would “unify the Social Studies Department in one central area.” Pietrasanta Overcoming earlier hours, new policies, and building, teachers continued to shape impression able lives with their instruction, finding their jobs, for the most part, rewarding.

BILLY WHITE : _ — MATTHEWS NICHT SHIT Virginia teachers were among the lowest paid in the nation, explaining why students were not the only ones who had to rush home, _change, and go to work after school. Teachers, too, needed part time jobs. The need for extra income or a _ change in scenery encouraged daytime teachers to moonlight. Notoriously underpaid and collecting pay only ten times a year, teachers worked part time to pay bills or just to have some extra spending money. Many single teachers found it difficult to make ends meet on one salary. Mr. Hubert Logan worked for six years at Montgomery Wards for “a little spending change in between paychecks.” He maintained that school was his first priority, and said his employers allowed him to work his schedule around the school calendar, Though working three to four nights a week cut into free or personal time, it provided him and other teachers the opportunity ‘‘to meet other people” that they would not have met otherwise by teaching all the time. Mr. Don Miner had been night auditor for Ramada Inn for seven years, working Friday and Saturday nights. He was happy with his second, “minor,” job because ‘' enjoy the people there, the fringe benefits and the little extra money.” Teachers who taught night school or other classes kept their skills sharpened while earning extra income. Mr. Bob Johnson taught math classes at Thomas Nelson Community College which provided ‘‘money for nice things like property taxes, furniture, house payments ... ” Not all teachers had to leave home to earn extra money.

Life was unrelenting and often harsh, having a pace that forced some off its tracks. However, life also brought new experiences, including new state leadership and a new federal holiday. But Life’s partner, Death, also bared Its mask, The airline industry suffered its most costly year in terms of crashes that resulted in the loss of life. European hijackings were displays of continued aggression in the Middle East. Nature, too, claimed lives in Central and South America with natural disasters. In Virginia, the gubernatorial elections of November created history. The Democratic ticket captured all the state offices. Gerald Baliles led the victorious group, with Douglas Wilder as Lieutenant Governor, and Mary Sue Terry as Attorney General. Wilder became the first Black to hold public office since the Reconstruction Period following the Civil War. Menchville freshman George Cornwell commented, ‘Douglas Wilder earned experience for his current office during his state Senate tenure and well deserves his job.” This statewide first for Blacks was augmented by the first annual federal holiday for the Reverend Martin Luther King. The establishment of this holiday created controversy, with many contenaing that the cost of shutting down the federal government constituted too much of a financial burden. Others maintained that Dr. King’s work for the advancement of Blacks warranted the holiday. David Hinson reflected, ‘It’s good, no matter what's said, to recognize him as an influential person in our history.“ Also of interest was the safety of the nation’s airways. Pilot error, mechanical deficiencies, and weather troubles caused several mishaps. A New England crash claimed the life of Samantha Smith, the young girl who visited the Soviet Union as a peace ambassador for the world. Singer Rick Nelson died in a fiery crash in Texas on New Year's Eve.

The change in location evoked many different opinions, but most favored the Coliseum over the hot and sometimes wet Todd Stadium on Warwick Boulevard. Invariably, the new setting caused many aspects of the traditional graduation to change. James Poplin commented, ‘The progression of graduation was better than at Todd Stadium. You had comfortable seats and you could yell loud and still be heard.” Underclassmen in attendance who willl graduate at the Coliseum in the future cited some advantages. ‘You aian’t have to worry about the weather,’ Carol Matthews explained. Doug Powell said, ‘Some people can’t stand the heat, and you want everyboay to be there. It was more comfortable since everyone was in formal attire.’” Faculty members also approved of the change in location. Mrs. Carolyn Chittenden said, “We didn’t have to worry about rain.

After attending the modeling school at the store, Christy became one of six people selected by a panel of Judges out of 250 people to appear on television. Far from any source of American tele- vision, senior Marc Grosse and junior Lenny Familant toured Israel for six weeks this summer. The two pilgrims travelled from the country’s northern border to the southern one adjacent to Egypt as part of the trip which was sponsored by their synagogue as a cultural and religious ex- perience. They travelled the country by bus and stayed in hostels at night. “We went to the Hebrew University in Is- rael, and we played a simulation game where we acted ouf modern day gov- ernmental issues as in Model United Na- tions,“” commented Lenny.

Mr. Caywood was honored by the Principal’s Award.

Their purpose: the creation of a new academic building and a third cafeteria to reduce the crowded conditions. Although designed to alleviate long range problems, the construction created additional and more immediate worries. Some Monarchs were agitated by the inconveniences caused by the building. Sophomore Paula White exclaimed, “It’s slow. The construction should have started in the summer.” The construction also detracted from the physical appearance of the school Unusual sights like this trench digger are more familiar to the Monarchs as construction on the new academic wing and cafeteria makes progress. — BLACKWELL according to sophomore Angie Thomas who claimed, ‘‘Menchville is not as attractive, but more importantly it causes problems with getting to class on time.” The aaministration noted that problem and extended class change time to six minutes. Dorsie Fryear agreed with Paula and Angie, stating, ‘The building should have started at the end of school last year, and perhaps some of this mess Could have been avoided.” Armies invade, conquer, and eventually leave.

Diversions included movies, such as First Blood, Rocky IV, and Back fo the Future. Many students watched the action rather than participating in it. Senior Cindy Brock said, “like watching the soaps.’’ One popular soap was NBC's Santa Barbara. NBC also held the first place category in the Nelsen Ratings. Thursday nights, from 8:00 pm to 10:00 pm, was the most popular period on network television: The Cosby Show Family Ties, Cheers, and Night Court. Nick Jefferson commented on why he liked The Cosby Show: “His children — they‘re so funny because they behave like modern people.’ Many who rarely watched television at all paused on Thursday night to watch Alex Keaton, Judge Harry Stone, Sam and Diane, and Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable.

Food was a big part of the lives of students and faculty. Breakfast, lunch, ainner, between meal snacks, snacks at the mall or at the movies were times set aside for the consumption of calorie-infested and sometimes vitamin- enriched hunger subsidies. Because of late alarms or oversleeping, breakfast was a meal that was often skipped in the morning. A missed breakfast would create some hunger pains during fourth period, but students would aie rather than give up their lunch period. Lunch was an important time for many Monarchs. Julie Henderson declared, “‘It gives us time to catch up on things like gossip, homework, and sleep.” Underclassmen waited patiently for the privilege to venture off campus and invade the fast food restaurants as they watched seniors jump into their cars and speed off for that yearned for burger and fry combo. Whether they were going home or to a nearby fast food restaurant, some seniors found the need to leave everyday during their lunch periods. Doug Vaughan said, “ leave everyday whether | have money or not. When | don’t have money, | go home for lunch and sometimes | don’t even eat.” Seniors took full advantage of this privilege. The thought of food lay dormant in the minds of Monarchs and subconsciously controlled their lives. Liz Leib described a typical date as going out to eat and then to a movie. “You eat dinner then go have popcorn at the movie. All people do is eat.”’ Even shopping on Saturdays at the mall called for “lunch at a fast food restaurant, an ice cream cone, or even a big cookie, according to Stephanie Foster. Fast food restaurants evoked mixed feelings from Monarchs. Perceptions were based from being on both sides of the counter: the customer’s and the employee's. ‘| don’t mind eating there,“ said Lisa Buchanan, ‘‘but | woulan’t like to work there.” Lisa worked at a fast food restaurant but quit because she ‘couldn't stand alll the grease.” Ed Singer also worked at a fast food place but did not like cooking food all day. He described it as “boring.” Negative views from working experiences did not impede the patronage of the area fast food restaurants by Monarchs. 7 . + | — gers Mrs. Carter aeee: lunches for with a more singular appetite.

But ask any one of the school cafeteria workers what was for lunch, and all could tell. Menchville’s lunch program is a cycle menu which means that it is the same every six weeks. Mrs. Hida Molleur, the school’s cafeteria manager, said, ‘The high school has a choice of menus” and that it usually serves ‘'what the students prefer like pizza, hamburgers, or just anything served with fries.” However, all menus were recommended by the National School Lunch Program, headed by the United States Department of Agriculture, to contain servings from the four basic food groups. One serving from the meat group, two servings from both the fruit and vegetable group and the bread and cereal group, and one serving from the milk group constituted the official recommenaation from the U.S.D.A. Preparing the food began early in the morning, Mrs. Moeller came to school at 6:30 am and the other workers arrived at 7:00.

His class reunion is held at the Hampton Sheraton, ten years after his graduating in 1975. Students had! six periods each day to study in preparation for pursuing goals and areams. Little thought was given daily to what life actually would be like after graduation. The only peo- ple capable of commenting on the real world or what it was like after gradu- ation were those who had already left Menchville. Their observations con- firmed what was only envisioned by students at the school — the World outside Menchville. From a student’s perspective, the outside world appeared to be waiting to grant everyone more opportuni- | ties as well as responsibilities. Joan Har- wood noted, ‘Going to college and being on my own will allow me to do what! want when! want.

Coorainator of running programs, Coach Doug Dickinson, admitted that the 1986 team would have to adjust to the loss of so many senior members and the addition of younger runners. ‘We entered a developmental period because of graduation last year,’’ explained the coach, adaing, “Menchville does have a good nucleus of young people, though.” Inexperience did not daunt the team. Coach Dickinson optimistically viewed the rebuilding: ‘‘We can develop people.” He looked forward to a team with young members that could develop into a strong force in the state as well as the region Metal soars as Fred Ciarlo flings a 15 pound aiscus through the air.

It takes a lot of time but if pays off.” The payoff began with the first place award at the Denbigh Day Parade in September. Further honing their skills enabled the band members to make a veritable sweep at the Churchland Marching Band Classic, taking color guard and arum corps awaras, a feat rarely HARWOOD equaled. Even the College of William and Mary showered the band with honors by allowing it to participate in its annual homecoming parade. These recognitions typified the excellence of the band.

They also placed second in their next three matches at Langley, Fort Eustis, and Newport News. Playing at a new course, Ford’s Colony in Willamsburg, the Monarchs beat everyone in the district by more than 30 strokes to place first and claim the alstrict title. Ric Anthony finished the season as the second ranked player in the Aistrict. Onward to hopeful further victory, Menchville placed third in the regional meet, but failed to qualify for the state meet.

This three day competition graded the cheerleaders on cheering, chanting, and dance routines, all of which had to be completed within three minutes. Eighty-six squads competed, and though Menchville’s squad did not rank in the top twenty, Varsity Captain Jackie Carson estimated that they placed twenty- second in the competition. Jackie called the competition, A learning experience which showed us all the little things to improve on.” Cheerlead- ers hoped that their impressive gymnastic feats would make them “look better than everyone else,”” and help to enhance the school spirit.

Staying healthy was a top priority among Monarchs. The age of youth and vigor caused many students and teachers to work at developing their physiques as well as their will Dower. Students could pursue their physical fitness through required and elective physical education classes. Teachers, on the other hand, had to pursue their athletic endeavors through health clubs and aerobic classes. Monarchs trudged on through lost meals, loose waistlines, baggy clothes, sweat, and pain in search of the perfect boay. Physical education classes provided the perfect opportunity for students to work out. Every class started out with five to ten minutes of calisthenics such as push- ups, sit-ups, and stretching exercises. The physical education teachers taught several units including archery, volleyball, flag football, and bowling. The inclusion of a fitness class in an academic curriculum was considered an excellent idea by some. Will Saunders confessed, “’P.E. provides an opportunity to apply yourself physically as well as academically. ’’ Each student also completed a physical education test measuring his athletic ability. This test included 50 yard dash, 600 meter run, shuttle run, pull- ups, PUush-ups, and sit-ups. These tests and activities provoked the students to strive for an overall healthy condition. Students without P.E. Classes in their schedule were Just as concerned about their health. They exercised after school at either their houses or a fitness center. Luther Jenkins followed a simple but effective exercise program. He jogged, biked, lifted weights, or did push-ups and sit-ups before bed at night. “Staying fit does not require as much time as people think, it just requires dedication, ” he explained. Senior Amy Senft worked out at the Peninsula Wellness and Fitness Center in Newport News where she took aerobic classes, swam, and lifted weights. “1 like it because | meet so many interesting people. It also helps me because I’m interested in a fitness career.”’ The Weliness Center was just one of the outlets Monarchs had in their quest for physical fitness. Teachers also got into the Physical fitness act. Mrs. Page Roberts and Mrs. Julie Ferrell were two who practiced aerobics weekly. When asked why she spent time exerting herself, Mrs. Ferrell replied, “' want to be skinny and healthy.” Mrs. Roberts added, “Our jobs and lifestyles have no physical activity, so we have to find some way to exercise. We have no self- discipline. We need to exercise in a group.” Whether in a class, as an individual, or as a group, some Monarchs strived to obtain the body beautiful.

However, the experience of trying had its own benefits. It was these attempts that absorbed a majority of the students’ time while learning. After all, victories were had and then were over. What became important to look at then was not the result, but the methods used to reach those very same goals. At Menchville, academics and academic clubs, service clubs, and services in general furthered a student’s quest for education. Academics, books, notes, and tests benefited or terrorized students.

Quest 175 A TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW New additions marked the Drama Department as well as the other areas of the school. The art, choral, and arama departments were combined under the title of “Theater Arts.”’ The unified efforts of the three factions helped to produce stage productions with an overall “more professional appearance” according to drama student Mike Pingel. He added, ‘'We are much stronger working together. It lets us make use of people’s special talents in each area.” Kari Elliott stated simply, “We make beautiful music together.“ Traditionally presenting three productions a year, the arama department spent considerable time and effort preparing for Fame, The Sound of Music, and a Children’s Theater Production, ‘‘Wish Upon a Star’. Menchville’s drama department was the first high school ever to give a stage performance of Fame. For the spring production The Sound of Music, grade school children auditioned for parts, thus adding authenticity to the cast’s appearance. Third through fifth graders from Chapter One and from the TAG Program at B.C. Charles Elementary School were used in productions. The Children’s Theater Production involved thirty-two elementary school students acting in a play with Menchville students. ‘‘Wish Upon a Star’ was reviewed by its author, LeElyn Raper: ‘It’s a lot of fun and everybody involved is so enthusiastic. ’ Drama students began broadening the scope of their acting experiences by getting parts in plays performed by community theater groups. Lynne and Lisa Zartman qualified for parts in Bye Bye Birdie, Leflyn Raper performed in Center Stage’s West Side Story in the fall. This Christmas, Kari Elliott had a role in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, put on by the UCC Players, and Jeff Jones Joined the Williamsburg Players in Ten Little Indians.

Show Choir officer Kraig Wartham commented, It takes a lot of time and hard work. Getting the choreography perfected is a lot of pressure.

It’s a lot of fun and yet a big challenge. You have the feeling of being on your own because you have to push yourself. There’s no one there to catch your mistakes except the audience and Mr. Pipkin.” Under the leadership of Mr. Vernon Pipkin, the choir performed in the Newport News City Day, the General’s Christmas Formal, the Grand Illumination in Williamsburg, the Congressional Dinner for the Governor, and for the centennial anniversary of the Newport News Shipyard. Highlighting the spring was the annual “Cabaret” and the “Best of Pip’s Concert.” This year’s group was “the most experienced group ever,’’ voiced Mr. Pipkin. “It’s a hard working group, but ninety percent of the group is seniors, so we'll be losing a lot of the experience next year.” Robbie Theobald noted, “it’s like a family...brothers and sisters, working together...we have our moments and we have our fun. Mr. Pipkin is more than just a director, though, he is a friend in and out of school.” Fund raisers this year included a car wash and the sale of pizzas, Cookies, and candles. The money raised paid for the choir’s road trips for out-of-town performances. Chuck Longacre concluded, “We have a lot of all-day practices and it’s hard work.

Under the alirection of Mrs. Georgianna Locklear, this year’s orchestra became more involved in both school and community functions. The orchestra, which played classical pieces and arrangements of modern songs, performed at various school assemblies, including the annual Homecoming Assembly, and the Christmas Assembly and Concert. They held other concerts during the year, and played in cooperation with the arama department’s “Children’s Theatre.” The orchestra accompanied the aramatization of “Wish Upon a Star,’” and selected members performed in the spring production, The Sound of Music. The string section participated in the all-city Fall Festival, held at Ferguson High School. Several orchestra members were players in the Peninsula Youth Orchestra, a prestigious group of musicians from all over the Peninsula, requiring an audition for entry. Member Jim Fryear commented, “Youth Orchestra is fun because it gives you an idea of what other musicians in the area play like.” Students from group included Mary Alexander, Frank Albert, Stephanie Anson, Derek Collins, Jim Fryear, Maryann Horch, and Lori Lovedahl. Fourteen Monarchs received awards at Regional Orchestra Competition, nine of these were seniors. Menchville’s orchestra also looked forward to the Band and Orchestra Festival held in March, where the orchestra performed before judges. Full orchestra rehearsals took place on Weanesdays after school, pending the arrival of those members who also took seventh period classes. Each member was given a chance to earn medals and awards by selling cookies and participating in other funaraisers. Stephanie Anson, noting the hours of practice and dedication required, aamitted, “It’s challenging to be in orchestra because you have to concentrate on what you are doing with many different instruments playing around you.” One difference in the orchestra was the large number of freshman members. Frank Albert believed that the young members enhanced the orchestra, saying, “We have many talented freshmen this year, who are good now, though inexperienced.

MATTHEWS OPEN [LINES OF COMMUNICATION Ways of communicating at Menchville were wide and varied. There were classes and clubs deaicated to smooth communication between students and faculty, special student groups and students, and people from other countries and students. Menchville underwent changes that hit every aspect of student life, including the way that the students, parents and faculty communicated their ideas, activities and special neeas. One significant change occurred when the two major student publications came together to form Monarch Publications. The Lion’s Roar and the Crown staffs shared Photographers, ideas, and classroom space. Lion’s Roar editor Doug Powell said, ''! feel the combination has increased the motivation of both staffs and made working on the publications more pleasant.’ Not only had the 182 Monarch Publications overall working conditions of the staff changed, but each of the publications had new goals, new formats, and new techniques due to the two new editors. According to Doug Powell, the newspaper staff was “trying to make the paper more interesting for everyone.” It was hoped that this objective would increase the newspaper's circulation, which was helped by the combined newspaper- yearbook subscription. When a student bought a yearbook, he also got a free newspaper subscription. Head typist for The Lion’s Roar, Debbie Vaughan, said, The new subscription process is better because it has increased sales.’’ Money was not the ultimate goal of the staff. The staff said their ultimate goal for the year was fo get first place in the Virginia High School League competition for newspapers while covering the news and events at the school. They set out on this goal by broadening their scope of investigative reporting and social commentary, such as the effect of apartheid on the Newport News community. In the adjoining room was the Crown Staff composed of twenty-two seniors and one junior. Mr. Don Roberts, the Crown aavisor, described the staff as “‘great.’’ He was impressed by both the leadership role that editor Eric Holloway had assumed and the independent work habits of the staff. Computers entered the Crown staff room when it switched to a new yearbook company, Jostens, and adopted their computer program for yearbook production. According to managing editor Luther Jenkins, ‘The Apple ile took some time to get used to, but it has turned out to be easier as far as making typographical corrections and preparing copy for deadlines.” Student journalist Christy Robinson perfects her interviewing techniques by questioning Ryan Jones about his summer experiences at Army Reserve boot camp. Concentration and skill are key objectives to turning out quality pictures in the darkroom.

MATTHEWS Monarch Publications 183 OPEN LINES CONTINUED 4 The yearbook had a reputation for making each year’s book different from the one before, and 1986 was no exception. The size of the yearbook was increased by an inch and a new magazine style was employed. Eric Holloway explained that the magazine style “has more graphics, bigger headlines, and longer articles that cover several pages.” Having to cover an immense and diver se student population mandated changes. To provide that coverage, the Crown and The Lion’s Roar staffs merged to share talents, interests, and ideas. Communication through the printed word was one of many forms. The Forensics and Debate Club, the foreign language classes, and the Sign Language Club communicated their thoughts and ideas by using tones of voice and hand gestures. Every day during the seventh period, the Forensics and Debate Ciub met to practice speaking in areas such as prose and poetry reading, extemporaneous speaking, and aramatic interpretation. They presented their soeeches and received constructive criticism from Mr, Ron Whitenack. The forensics team prepared itself “py becoming experts in their category.’ Mr. Whitenack commented that the team was young and their success ‘depends on how much they want it.” District first places went to Dietra Green (extemporaneous speaking), Blaine Mckinney (poetry reading), and Sean Pierre Chambers (prose reading), and Menchville took second place in the February tournament at Kecoughtan. Being understood in English was a challenge to the members of the forensics and debate teams, but being understood in a foreign language was also a challenge for many Menchville students, The foreign language students communicated in either French, German, Latin, or Spanish. New textbooks, and teachers like Mrs. Voula Vretakis, who was awarded the Teacher of the Year Award from the Ruritan Club, made speaking in a 184 Communication f Se : ee: foreign language possible. Mrs. Vretakis explained, ! felt honored that my peers chose me as the best among themselves. ’’ Changes that took place in the area of foreign languages were the addition of new teachers and the combining of the fourth and fifth year Spanish classes.

However, at Menchville parents were kept aware of what was happening at their child’s school by monthly newsletters and the newly installed robonics caller. With the serious rise in missing and abducted children, the Virginia legislature made it mandatory that each student who was not present in his first period class be personally called at his home. The robonics caller had a tape of Mr. John Caywood’s voice informing the student’s home that he was not present in first period. Mr. Bob Johnson explained, ‘The robonics caller serves a humanitarian purpose by notifying families where their children are or are not, hopefully making them feel more secure or enabling them to act in case something happens.” Both the aaministration and the gui dance department communicated frequently, audibly, and personally, in conferences and newsletters. Within the school building students were notified of school activities through the student and faculty P.A. announcements. Student P.A. announcers tried out in the spring for the following year and were judged by members of the English department. Scott Mewborn explained how he got involved in P.A. announcing: “1 was interested in public speaking during the ninth grade and | heard the students over the P.A. and decided to try out. | feel that it is a good way to communicate activities if the teachers keep their class quiet while they are on, however, they are not always effective because the classes are not always quiet.” Utilizing the public adaress system, students were kept aware of upcoming events and meetings. While students were in the classroom, the staff aides were in the halls keeping traffic running smoothly and communicating over the newly purchased walkie-talkie system. Mr. Jerry Solomon commented, “The school has become so big and spread out that the only effective method of communication the aaministration could think of was a walkie-talkie system.” English teachers provided the means to more effective communication among all students by stressing good usage and standard English in both oral and written projects. New grammar and literature textbooks for average 186 Communications and above-average classes made teachers re-think and reorganize some lessons; they also wrote “standardized” multiple-choice items for use on city- wide Criterion-Referenced Tests, which counted as 50% of the final exams each semester, a first in English classes. The many ways students and aaministrators communicated supplemented their education and personal growth. Menchville’s success depended on keeping its lines of communication open between all students, faculty, and parents. — Colleen Myers — — BLACKWELL Three year student P.A. announcer Scott Mewborn, and fellow announcer Tonia Dingle do the morning announcements to inform students of upcoming Menchville activities. .. — BLACKWELL CLOES GRebEE LRG RY | — HOLLAND — BLACKWELL | Giving his annual announcement fo the student Outside the main office Mr. Jerry Soloman body, Coach Richard Brooks asks the students to patrols the hallways with his walkie-talkie in hand, contribute to the canned food arive. watching for possible problems.

The team composed of Brian Bevins. Mark Bittner, Scott Brabrand, Parker Davis, Ann Fitzgerald, Scott Mewborn, Wes Russell, and Fred Warren, practiced throughout the summer to prepare for their first match in September against First Colonial High School of Virginia Beach. Ann Fitzgerald explained, “We simulated the show by sitting in rows of chairs while Mr. David Eddy asked us questions.” This type of arilling helped the team members prepare for their appearance on the firing line. For the first time team members were able to use a computer program that Menchville purchased which simulated the “buzzing in” process. Third year team member Scott Brabrand noted, “The buzzer simulation really gave us a better idea of what the competition was like.“ The four members who competed on the show were Scott Mewborn, Brian Bevins, Wes Russell, and Parker Davis. Each had a special area in which he was adept. Although the team worked hard, they had a disappointing loss to First Colonial in their first round match. Unfortunately, this loss eliminated them from further competition.

Brabrand expressed his disappointment: “After three years of not getting past the first round, | was cisappointed. We had put a lot of time in and we hoped to have succeeded in the match.” However, the 1985 team was composed of three sophomores and one senior; therefore, soring training opened with renewed optimism. BRAIN GAMES Thirty-six students and five advisors attended the North American Invitational Model United Nations for four days during February in Washington, D.C. The students represented aifferent foreign countries in four different aspects of the simulated United Nations. Students held positions on the Security Council, Economic and Social Council, Internation Simulation, and the International Court of Justice. Each Model U.N. activity had its own alstinctions. David Custer, who was on the Internation Simulation, commented, “It was challenging to represent the U.S.S.R. and try to keep in a communist state of mind as an American.” Christy Robinson explained the type of work on the Economic and Social Council, “We passed resolutions on apartheid, women in the meaia, and voluntary — MYERS disappearance acts.’ Colleen Myers was on the International Court of Justice, but felt her brother Ed best summed up the experience with “| saw the extent of power the Court has — nil.

Steffen Brocks noted, “Each presented his own views, and | felt that Kirkpatrick was a perfect puppet of President Ronald Reagan. Warnke held to his own beliefs, liberal as they were.” Work did not encompass the entire program. Entertainment and enjoyment also marked the event.

He Assistant Principal and co-sponsor of the National Honor Society, Mr. Robert Johnson, described this year’s members as “likeable, personable, handworking, and successful.’’ The Honor Society in- ducted twenty-five members of the senior class at the May 25 ceremony and five more seniors at the fall cere- mony on November 26. The greatest change was that for the first time in the history of the National Honor Soci- ety at Menchville, twelve juniors were inducted in the fall rather than the spring. NHS President Doug Powell said, ‘! was in favor of the juniors being in- Aucted in the fall because that gave them a chance to mix with the seniors and have a full year of the National Honor Society experience before they hae to run activities next year.’’ Doug also commented, “Activities are more successful and enjoyable with a larger body of members.” Junior inductee Lisa Bittner explained, '! was surprised to be tapped in the auditorium because my parents hadn't even given me a clue.” Another junior inductee Christy Robinson said, '! knew, but | was still nervous when the spotlight hit me and | was es- corted onto the stage.” Both girls ad- mitted that they were elated about being inducted because it gave them a chance to be involved with the up- per classmen.

Society members set an ex- ample to follow by helping others any way possible. Such dedication to help- ing those around them illustrated itself through the society's visit at Christmas to the children’s ward at Riverside Hos- pital and its tutoring program for Menchville students. Doug Powell com- mented on the effects of the tutoring program: “... tutoring is a challenging project, but it hasn’t been successful due to the lack of students willing to be tutored,” Continuing its community work, the NHS sponsored a mum and carnation sale to raise funds for two 250 dollar schol- arshios and new stolls for present and future graduates in the society. Sponsor Mr. Johnson reflected, ‘This year’s group is a tight group which enjoys being together and helping others, this is something rare compared to groups in the past.” The National Honor Society exemplified and continued the basic principles on which the group was based. — Colleen Myers — — MYERS — HOLLAND — MYERS Mums at Homecoming keep retuming.

Once in Office, it is easy to forget these pledges and just kill time. However, being in the Student Council Association, either as an officer or as an executive board member, calls for responsibility and commitment because each member of the SCA acts as a mediator between the students and the staff and provides effective communication between the two to establish a better learning environment. Being in the SCA afforded the officers an opportunity to enhance their relationship with the school and students. President Nick Anthony said, ‘Serving the SCA is a wonderful experience and it develops a sense of responsibility, motivation, and loyalty to the school.” Treasurer Mike Walker added, ‘The SCA is primarily for the students of Menchville and it encourages involvement.“ Setting the tone for the year is a task traditionally undertaken by the SCA. Starting with a concentrated arive on Homecoming, the officers and executive board members strained to encourage school-wide participation in activities. They organized and prepared and had great success; officers and board members happily announced that more students participated in the Annual Spirit Chain Contest than ever before. Homecoming was labeled 'a big success,’ including the assembly and the reception for the many returning alumni. Adaitional participation came from organizations in the float contest, and students commented about the dance and band for weeks afterwaras. One of the major efforts of the SCA was the Clean Campus Campaign. The goal was to get clubs and individual students to work together in keeping the campus clean. Robin Blackwell, an executive board member, said, ‘More people should get involved ... People have to work to make it happen.’ Not only did the SCA benefit the entire student boa, it also aided those who directly participated. Reporter Jack Hower commented, ‘The SCA shows that teenagers can be responsible and that they do realize the problems that need to be solved.” Sec retary Nancy Bollinger added, ‘It is a good chance to be responsible and more organized.’ The aaministration also recognized the efforts and importance of the SCA.

Charity minded sisters Christine and Amy Swanson ring the Christmas bells in front of the Denbigh K-Mart to encourage Salvation Army donations for needy people Menchville’s Key Club was a service organization dedicated to work in the school and the community. Three-year member and 1985-86 Key Club president Ryan Jones said, ‘From what I've seen as an Officer, there was more participation and organization in the club the past two years.’ The approximately ninety-eight member club participated in activities such as Pedal for Peariatics, playing bingo with the patients at Patrick Henry Nursing Home, delivering food to the needy auring the Christmas season, and ringing the Salvation Army bell at k- Mart. Second-year sponsor Mr. Don Miner commented, ‘! was quite pleased with the work done and! am also pleased with the way the officers have taken charge and decided to take control of the club.“ Running the large club’s activities is not the sole responsibility of the officers because the Key Club has an executive board made up of representative students from each class. ‘‘The Key Club is unique in that it has an executive { board and most clubs don’t.

Key Club 195 KAO I- FACIE TIE ID The Parent Teacher Student Association was no longer perceived as a group of conservative parents making more homework and less fun for students. The organization sought to improve the education given to students. The PTSA sought to bring the home and school into closer relations so that parents and teachers could cooperate intelligently in the education of children and youth. Scott Brabrand suggested, ‘If provides a community bond in expressing concerns of parents, teachers, and students.’ Back to School Night, the Cultural Arts Contest, the Financial Aid Workshop, and Teenage Concern workshops were just some of the ways that the PTSA proved its concern for the welfare and interests of the students. ‘Students don’t realize that the PTSA was formed to secure for all youth the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, and spiritual education,” said PTSA president Mrs. Nancy Sotak. Workshops on teenage suicide, student scholarships, the rezoning policy, and arug awareness have been sponsored by the PTSA for social welfare and to bridge the gap between parents, teachers, and students. With highly motivated leaders and interested parents and students, the PISA managed to meet every two months in order to increase involvement. The interests of the teachers and parents were also shared by the aaministration. Mr. John Caywood supported all PTSA actions. He exclaimed, ‘‘The PTSA has all of my support, I'll do anything to facilitate and contribute to the interests and welfare of the students.” The increased communication within the Monarch family exemplified the ever present concern with the quality of education and the harmonious operation and structure of the academic system. The PTSA was a perfect example of how the parent and the teacher can work together in educating the student. — Nancy Bollinger — 196 Parent Teacher Student Association Urgency marks the conversation between Mr John Caywood and Mrs. Judy Nimmo.

Members also sold fruit to raise money for a hunared dollar donation to the Daily Press-Times Herald Christmas Fund. To celebrate Valentine’s Day, the Varsity Club visited area hospitals to distribute canay to children. They also brought gifts to all the teachers at Menchville. Members also donated time and money to the Heart and kidney Foundation. Cammie Porter remarked, — FOSTER Interest and concern are readily observed in Vice-President John Harvell’s expression as he supervises the activities of fellow club members. “This is a very worthwhile organization which builds up good reputations for its members. It’s a chance to work together with friends to helo others.” Throughout the school year, the Varsity Club ran concession stands for half-days and basketball games. Each member received points for helping with concessions, food drives, and hospital visitations. The points were used as a basis for awards which were given at the annual banquet. Trophies and plaques for outstanding service, academic achievement, and leadership helped to commemorate a most successful and productive year. Mr. Richard Breoks, Varsity Club sponsor, summarized, “This is a service organization shared with the school and the community.

With increased public concern over the fate of the younger generation’s education, juniors and seniors in high school who had high grades in math and science were offered the opportunity to join a science magnet school to be built next to Thomas Nelson C ommunity College. Students chose either the Biology Chemistry or the Physics class. The students either attended classes from 7:30 to 9:30 in the morning or from 1:30 to 3:30 in the afternoon. When the students were not at the center, they took courses at Mencahville. Junior Sei Kim, who took the Biology Chemistry class, explained, “We are expected to attend everyday and either hear lectures, participate in lab work, or listen to guest speakers.’ Students were also required to work with mentors six hours a week and write summary reports on their accomplishments. Senior Kim Gorman noted, ‘It’s hard, harder than | thought it would be, but my biology teacher, Dr. Austin Anderson, and chemistry teacher, Miss Joi Phelps, are enthusiastic, which makes it fun.” Like their counter parts in the biology class, the physics students also were posed with an excruciating curriculum. Senior Billy Taylor commented, ‘The physics class is Calculus based, so the teacher has to work around our knowledge.” Senior Mark Brinkley added, “The course itself is demanding, and it taxes most of my capabilities. But Mr. Richard Purman, the physics teacher, is an effective instructor and makes the difficult aspects of the course seem sensible. Although the students enjoyed their experiences at the Center, problems plagued the program. The students had to sacrifice activities and athletics. Sei Kim lamented, ‘' had to give up track, science club, and French club because they all occurred before | got out of New Horizons.’’ However, Senior kim Gorman exclaimed, ' think that the experiences gained at New Horizons are worth it!’ Participants on a New Horizons field trip including Menchville students pose in front of � @, = the Lewis Hall sign.

Distributive Education Clubs of America allowed students to develop leadership characteristics and become more aware of career opportunities in marketing. “A student who is in a marketing class is automatically in the club,” stated Moni- ca Robinson. Although the club had limit- ed meetings after school because of many work-training students, DECA man- aged to participate in the Fall Rally at Deer Park which offered marketing ap- plied games. They also installed Maurice Grey, Cleveland Hedgepeth, Monica Robinson, and Donna Battle as officers at the Fort Eustis Officers Club.

Rather, some moved around with their parents who were in the military, seeing the entire United States and places like Japan, England, Belgium, Korea, and Germany. With their parents stationed at Fort Eustis, Langley Air Force Base, and Fort Monroe, certain students entered the Menchville scene, bringing their diverse experiences with them. ‘I’ve been to so many different places,” said Lisa Dillard, ‘and | loved it.” Although she has not moved since the seventh grade, Lisa enjoyed the Mmovings so much that she planned to follow in her father’s military footsteps. Lisa already decided to pursue a career in the Air Force by participating in Menchville’s JROTC program. Sandy Godwin, whose father was in the Navy, noted, ‘'Because my father was away so much when | was young, my mother had to adapt and found she could stand on her own.” Both career and independence could be found in the military. Contrasting opinions came from senior Patrice Phillips who, when asked about a military career of her own, ier eo : 214 Military Life exclaimed, ‘'No way!” Patrice had lived in Germany for six years, the longest stay in one place, until the middle of her senior year. Since her father was ordered to move to Ft. Eustis, Patrice had to pack up her belongings and leave her familiar surroundings and close friends. She admitted that it was difficult when she first moved to Germany. ‘Everything was Greek to e.” But having lived there for six years, travelling to Spain, Paris, London, and Greece, and tackling the German language, she “didn’t want to leave.” She had already ordered her class ring, graduation announcements, and cap and gown. Aside from these investments, leaving her friends ‘hurt the most.” Travel and cultural experiences were offered by the military. These opportunities sometimes arose at the most inopportune times — like before or during the senior year.

In accordance with the new name, the arafting department gained a new arafting device — a CAD system (Computer Aided Design). Mr. William Robinson said, “! try to familiarize the students with the CAD system by using it. It’s the same as using a drawing board, but you can erase and make changes easier.” Students also explored the arts of woodworking, electronics, and technical drawing. Students planned, built, and used both hand and power tools in developing wood projects. In electronics, they conducted experiments, constructed projects, and repaired household appliances to obtain an understanaing of electronics. Technical arawing classes enabled the students to learn about arafting, principles of engineering, and architecture. Senior Kelvin Mason took architectural drawing because “! want to pursue architecture further as a possible career.”’ Senior Rick Peterson added, “1 like industrial arts because | learn on my own and can work at my own pace.” Taking a course which offered the chance fo utilize skills learned in a class allowed these students to plan their futures and incorporate what they had learned. Technology Education taught its students not only how to sketch plans or build handcrafted furniture, it also prepared them for a possible career. Knowledge in the classroom extended far beyond the four walls enclosing these students. — Mark Bittner — Demand and need for the drill press forces David Baldwin to wait behind Kenneth Hart.

Guidance counselor Mrs. Margie Holt stated that the purpose of the school was “‘teaching students skills in a particular field that will aid them in securing a prosperous future.“” Vo-Magnet was divided into three areas: business, health, and home economics. The business department combined realistic office settings with on-the-job training to give its students a strong background in business vocations. Senior Lahoma Lawrence enrolled in the Office Simulation Word Processing class because,''! wanted to learn about computers and their role in an office setting.’ Data processing was popular among Menchville students. Using IBM PC computers, they wrote programs in the computer language COBOL. Seniors Winnibal Acena, Rhonda Phillips, Mike Boutwell, and Natasha Stills felt the two-hour class period was important in completing their assignments. Health occupation courses prepared students for a variety of entry level jobs such as medical receptionists and dental aides. Introduction to Health Occupations was available to tenth graders.

The Butler Farm Road campus, Which will serve students from Newport News, Hampton, Williamsburg, York County, and James City County, was financed in part by a 2.5 million dollar allocation from the Virginia General Assembly. The New Horizons Technical Center, informally known as Vo-Tech, expanded to better meet the growing demand for vocational courses. Like Vo-Magnet, the purpose of New Horizons was to teach job entry skills, thus giving the student a foundation in a particular field. New Horizons was primarily a “trade” school that offered such courses as air conditioning, diesel mechanics, and welding. After graduation, the students are encouraged to enter an apprenticeship program to further their skills. Courses pertaining to the medical field were also available at New Horizons. f a student successfully completed the practical nursing program, she graduated as a licensed practical nurse.

This enables the students to make wiser decisions about the future.’ With this philosophy in mind, the social studies department set forth to educate the entire student. This was accomplished by tests, studying, and special projects. History provided a convenient meaium to teach students about what should be learned from the past. “We want each student to have an international perspective, not to be so provincial in attitude.” This theory related to Mrs. Sonara Morton’s advanced history class where students aressed up as figures of the American past to ” ... act out personalities from that era. It helos the students learn and provides fun and a more indepth study of the 1920's to the 1980's, ” stated Mrs. Morton. Suitable clothing enabled students to aress the part and present their findings about their character in a creative fashion. Mrs. Sheila Myers stated that such activities “make the course all the more relevant ... and are valid when the projects pertain airectly to the course objectives.” Class activities accentuated class learning. In accordance with social studies objectives, Mrs. Mayme BaCote, department head, commented about the effectiveness of the department. “We want the students to be responsible citizens. They must realize that they have privileges, but also responsibilities. This is true in society and think if should be seen in school as well.” Sensing a need for the students to learn about the world community, the department made its impression on each student by teaching him and allowing him to teach himself. — Eric Holloway and Sara Mouring — Sunglasses and an officer’s wheel cap complete Mike Matthew’s costume for his presentation of General Douglas MacArthur.

The coordination of activities in the special education department consisted of individual tutoring and attention to improve comprehension and learning. “Individualized instruction is the mainstream of special education; we encourage their talents and improve their weaknesses,” stated Mrs. Kathie Willams, department head. Instructors formed strong bonds with their students as honesty and positive reinforcement prevailed. “We not only offer our instruction to our students, we also develop a trusting friendship with them,” stressed Ms. Thweatt.

Director and certified librarian Mrs. Velma Rossi, Mrs. Mel Salnoske, Mrs. Patricia Smith, Mrs. Betty Joy, and Mrs. Betty Dresback did much more than file books on the shelves. Maintaining a myriad of audio-visual equipment, including color video cameras, filmstrip projectors, and record players, was just one taxing portion of the job. The group filed magazines, wrote over-due notices, worked around a class held in the busy periodical room, tracked down lost books, and wrote more over- due notices. Although Mrs. Velma Rossi's career progression was not always in the direction of library work, she was an avid reader since early childhood. As World War Il developed, Mrs. Rossi decided on a nursing career. However, she soon decided against that and took a job with Lockheed Aircraft in California. Mrs. Rossi obtained a home economics degree from the University of California and then joined the Air Force where she attained the rank of captain. Then, as Mrs. Rossi said, “Instead of becoming a major, | became a mother.’’ When she moved to the Tidewater area with her family, she became a library aide in Hampton. Mrs. Rossi then began to earn her librarian certification from Old Dominion University and The College of William and Mary. Mrs. Rossi was teaching home economics at Menchville when she accepted a Media Center job opening. This year was Mrs. Rossi's first as Media Center director. She enjoyed the new position and acknowledged it by saying, ‘The buck stops here!” Mrs. Front desk work is a complicated and | tedious job, but an essential part of work in the Media Center.

Since students are instructed not to reshelve books, school librarians must perform this tedious job. lists to decide what to order to supplement the library. Over-due materials generated over $2000. This money was put directly back into the library because it was used for buying books and filmstrips. Part of the money was used to purchase a new copy machine for use by the students. Teaching aids packed the library as well. These included computers, video cameras, tape recorders, film projectors, and television monitors. Although minor repairs were performed by the staff, the school system repaired any major equioment failures. Mrs. Rossi added, out of the over-due materials fund, a VHS video tape recorder.

The major problem was the lack of available computer terminals. With the current system, two classrooms could work out of the card catalog. Circulation and filing computers offered no substantial benefits and were not forseen at Menchville. Missing lost books was “not a huge problem, but unfortunately persistent, according to Mrs. Rossi. In 1984-1985, 239 books were either lost by students or stolen from the library. The Media Center staff concurred that vandalism was a much more bothersome problem. Mrs. Rossi said of disfigured books, ‘It hurts. | cry.”” Many destroyed books are out of print and cannot be replaced. Little inconveniences henpecked the library. Students complained about the Media Center’s “off limits” designation during the lunch periods, Mrs. Rossi said that as long as there was not one school-wide lunch period, the library will remain restricted. She explained that students with a class during one period must have the same use of the library as any other class at any other time of the day does: ‘If half of the school came in the library while a student was working on schoolwork, it would not be fair.“ Menchville’s Media Center exerted a tremendous effort on the part of each student. Keeping track of over 26,000 volumes, 2,000 filmstrips and videotapes, and hunareds of record albums was not an easy task, yet the Media Center kept it all available to Monarchs. — Scott Mewborn — Library 227 eee! eas ICEL ein : ; : — HOLLAND Clearing the school of trash inside and outside, custodian Mr. Rosco Walker enjoys the afterschool silence in the late evening hours. | Displaying the good relations between the students and the custodial staff, Mike White pushes the cleaning cart for Mrs. Sabra Williams.

These individuals were the problem solvers, the handymen, and the peace keepers of Monarch Country. Staff aides. Shadowy figures moving thro ugh the halls; monolithic statues of authority. The cool, almost placid, character of Menchville’s staff aides concealed an overwhelming list of responsibities. Staff aides, consisting of Mr. James White, Mr. Frankie Vann, Mr. Jerry Solomon, and Mrs. Shirley Anderson, had a wide range of duties, from assisting the administration to acting as preservers of peace among students. The staff had special training by the police department and were sworn in by a Circuit Court judge, giving them the power of arrest in cases of drug involvement and trespassers on school property. Staff aides also supervised the parking lot, and were responsible for school security and safety. Mr. White said, “We act not only as instructors, but as friends of the students, In their leisure time, several staff aides donated services on the basketball court. Mr. White and Mr. Vann worked through the Boy’s Club of Hampton Roads, Mr. White officiating, Mr. Vann coaching. Both married, the men found time in their busy schedules to contribute to the development of young men in their community. Mr. Jerry Solomon coached the girls’ basketball teams of Menchville, a job he has done for the past several years. Mrs. Shirley Anderson enjoyed the game of softball and devoted time to her family. The staff aides led diverse and varied lifestyles. Another important group of the | school staff was the maintenance personnel. Led by Mr. Billy Ester, the maintenance staff was the backbone | of the effort to maintain a clean and functioning campus. Each member of the maintenance crew had a specific area under his supervision. Mr. Nelson Brooks was responsible for the auditorium, Mr. Charles Fields, the second floor; Mr. Gary Small, the first floor; and Mr. Rosco Walker, the boys’ gym and hallways. Ever helpful, the maintenance staff was called on for Opening jammed lockers, repairing lights and heaters, and periodically maintaining the building are significant duties of the custodial staff. Custodian Mr. Nelson Brooks gets Steve Stratton’s locker unstuck and they both make a new friend. any problems within the school. Often overlooked for their tremendous services, the maintainance staff spent almost double the time that the students spent in school. True to his trade, Mr. Rosco Walker added, “Your time is my time.” These several faces appeared in the halls as students scampered in a futile attempt to escape the jaws of the tardy bell. Whether aaministrative or maintainance, there was never a time when one could not evoke a smile or a friendly “hel lo” from one of them.

The main office sometimes resembled a war zone with phones ringing, visitors calling, fire alarms going off, and irate parents complaining, but Mrs. Marie Pat rick never stopped working. ‘You just have to keep going,”’ she said. The whole office staff performed their duties ailigently. The staff consisted of Mrs. Marie Patrick, receptionist; Mrs. Delois Hawkins, instructional secretary; Mrs. Brenda Eversole, attendance secretary, Mrs. Gerri McCreary, bookkeeper, Mrs. kitty Bonnett, Mr. Caywood’s secretary, and Mrs. Janet St. John, guidance and office assistant. lf one was absent, the other 230 Attendance And Bookkeeping members picked up the slack and interworked together. ‘We help each other out,”’ Mrs. Patrick said. When asked what she enjoys about her job, Mrs. Patrick said, '! enjoy working with students. ”’ The fulfilment of working with students was also prevalent with the aaministrative aides, Mrs. Gail Lentz and Mr. Carlton Outlaw. Mrs. Lentz said, ‘! meet some of the best students in the school and 1 know each and every one of them. | pride myself on that.” Mr. Outlaw said that working with students creates ‘'a very good, warm feeling and environment. “” Mrs. Lentz and Mr. Outlaw’s duties changed from past years.

Her favorites include ‘! had to babysit the family pet,” or ! got shocked by the curling iron.” Typing is not the only task Mrs. Delois Hawkins completes. She is also receptive to helping students and visitors. Her duties include calling parents to verify the legitimacy of excuse notes, typing all suspensions resulting from truancy, drugs, or tardies, and taking notes from students.

Principal John M. Caywood handled the tasks, working with Assistant Principals Mr. Robert Johnson, Mr. Everett Hicks, Mr. David Barr, and Dr. Steve Hochman. Part of Mr. Caywood’s daily business was to be available to students, teachers, and his assistant principals; he met weekly with the assistant principals and monthly with the department heads to form policy and procedure. Perceiving the goals of the school, Mr. Caywood articulated and pursued them. In all policy making, he said, ‘Its impact on instruction is given first priority.“” He expressed no interest in a city administrative position, saying, ' don’t like bureacracy and red tape. | like to attack a problem and move n.”” His most important function, he claimed, was 'to try to bring people together.” Assistant Principal Mr. Robert Johnson, also concerned with working well with others, attended the College of William and Mary, where he obtained a certificate of advanced studies. His responsibilities at Menchville included supervision of English, Mathematics, and Foreign Languages. Mr. Johnson also developed the school master schedule and handled the intricacies of report caras and diplomas. Considering 232 Administration working towards a doctoral degree, he added that he was increasingly interested in eventually becoming a principal. Also len ding leadership to Menchville was Mr. David Barr, who joined the school on July 1, 1982. Mr. Barr acquired his master’s degree from Hampton University and continued his study at the College of William and Mary. Supervision of the departments of Fine and Performing Arts, Reserved Officers Training Corps, and Technology Education were several of his duties. He cooperated closely with the staff aides to keep the halls clear and operating smoothly. Mr. Barr also expressed an interest in city administration. Establishing himself as a capable aaministrator at Menchville enabled Dr. Steve Hochman to continue his leadership efforts. Here since 1983, Dr. Hochman wa s awarded his Doctorate in Education Aaministration this year. Attenaing Old Dominion University to obtain his bachelor’s degree, he attended Virginia Commonwealth University and Virginia Tech on his journey towards his Doctorate. Dr. Hochman aamitted, ‘‘Athletics has been a big part of my life.” He played football under Coach Charlie Nuttycombe at Newport News High School and, while serving as swimming coach at Kecoughtan High School, his team was undefeated. Responsible for providing aaministrative and instructional services for the Health and Physical Education, Driver’s Education, Science, and Special Education departments, Dr. Hochman also had under his jurisdiction the controversial parking permits. Ushered in with the bicentennial, another assistant principal, Mr. Everett Hicks, began serving Menchville on July 1, 1976. He received his undergraduate degree at Norfolk State University, and his masters at Hampton University. Mr. | Hicks had charge of athletics, Social Studies, Business, Marketing, Industrial Cooperative Training, and Home Economics. He helped to organize the Monarch Awards Night program and graduation. Controlling school office management, Mr. Hicks expressed an interest in becoming a high school principal.

Oddsmakers developed no prior consensus on who would eventually walk off with Best Picture, Best Actress, or Best Actor. Zany Robin Williams was a co- host for the ceremony, and was not without controversy. Williams poked fun at Motion Picture Association president Jack Valenti for being less than a dynamic speaker. More notably controversial was the shut-out of The Color Purple. Receiving eleven nominations and no Oscars, the picture was the story of a Southern black woman’s struggle to live in the early twentieth century. The night’s big winner was Out of Africa, which was awarded 7 Oscars, including Best Picture. The picture’s Producer-Director, Sydney Pollack, won Best Director. After being nominated 7 times for Best Actress, Geraldine Page won it for her role in Trip to Bountiful. William Hurt was awarded Best Actor for his role as a homosexual prisoner in Kiss of the Spider Woman. Best supporting actress was Anjelica Huston, appearing in Prizziis Honor. Cocoon co-star Don ‘Ameche was awarded Best Supporting Actor. The shut-out of The Color Purple was not unusual to the Award’s show, however. In 1977, The Turning Point received eleven nominations and did not win a single award. The shut-out did not stop Purple from being an immensely popular film and it was held over for many weeks.

A construction worker indicated in late April, “Everything’s on schedule” for a mid June completion. — TALBOT | — HOLLAND Empty hallways are an uncommon sight at Menchville. This shiny floor is soon to be trampled by Monarchs responaing to the dismissal bell. Hordes of students stampede through the auditorium hall at the end of the day. At least 1,872 of the total student body passes through this hallway each afternoon. — TALBOT — HOLLAND Packing their sports gear, Kim Goodbread and Natalie Thomas prepare to leave the girls’ locker room after basketball practice. They dress out in the small gym. LOOKING BACKWARD None envisioned the future when Menchville opened its doors for the first time sixteen years ago. No one could even begin to imagine what life held in store for this evolving educational community. People were too caught up in their lives to pay much attention. This lack of planning, however, did not stop the future from occurring. Changes came and affected the school, the students, and the people. This commonality of change united these three, as each continued from its beginnings, never wanting to cease. Changes occurred on many fronts. The construction of the new wing and cafeteria began August 28th and continued throughout the year, causing problems like traffic congestion in the halls; but the building also planted a hope that the congestion would be alleviated, showing that promise existed in any difficulty. Continued page 255 Ceiling support beams await placement. These iron structures are only part of the multitude of material used for completing the third cafeteria.
