In our search for self-discovery, our IT generation has adopted the past and made it our own. This can be seen in pastimes such as skateboarding and surf- ing, designs of tie-dye and peace sym- bols, and even revivals of musical classics like “Louie, Louie’’ and the songs of the Carhy Paul eeling the Difference Beatles. Thus, even though we seem ro be echoing the past, we have modern- ized it, making it reflect our present ideas and philosophy. Today we realize thar it is the little differences which seem to matter the most. When a student or member of the faculty takes the time fo listen, support, Discovering a different way to practice his violin, freshman Stephen Levine uses one of the lockers on the band hall as a music stand. “| enjoy finding orginial ways to display my musical talent,”” he says.

This strong rap- port berween students and faculry helps each to grow, and that growth is shown iN our excellence. Through communica- tion, the Monarchs use each day fo its advantage in making us A Little Bir Differ- ent. Allison Creech Resting after the ride, seniors Dan Mackay and Byron Weare take advantage of a bench after bicycling to Menchville. To many, riding a bicycle is viewed not only as fun, but as transportation as well. Opening 5 From school spirit to romantic relations, every aspect of our lives was changing in some way. While some Monarchs tried to adapt to the differences of high school life Carhy Paul Jarvis Jackson discovers just how different things look up close. Many students gained a new perspective through experiments in science class. Sophomore Susie Van Guilder and senior Laura Reiger collabo- rate on a math problem. Many students discovered that friends are invaluable in mastering difficult equations. 6 Life in general, others noticed the variances in our school itself. However, regardless of the changes, the Monarchs participated in life with their characteristic zeal, eager to get the most from it. Their dedication to activities outside of school merely en- riched their academic experiences and provided for a well-rounded individual. Allison Creech Enjoying a well-deserved rest, Derrick Payne, An gela MacGruder, Joy Maxwell, Tina Haywood, and Rob Doane take a break from school and wait for the field hockey game to begin. Attendance at athletic games can be both school spirited and social events for Monarchs. Tommy Zuckerwar Jennifer Payne enjoys a slice of pizza while her sister Kathy looks on.

On a cold October night a small band of Menchville seniors, unit- ed by a common cause, assembled ar thesfork of Lucas Creek Road. Their purpose was an OBVIOUS one, surveying the abun- dance of ‘spray cans, brushes, paint, and.card- board stencils: they had a duty to defend the good name of their alma mater. The task per- formed, an annual one, was fo reclaim Lucas Creelk Road from Den- bigh High School and re- store the dominance of the Mormarchs for anoth- er year. This was only one ex- ample ‘of...the renewed sense of pride shared by students. Increased attendance at sporting events, the appearance of paw prints in the stu- dent parking lot (compli: ments of the Pep Club) and the success’ of Spirit Week all demonstrated the newly revitalized spirit of the Monarchs. Referring to the success of Spirit Week, SCA Presi- dent Tasha Barnes com- mented, ‘“Menchville has undergone a metamor- phosis. There is an overall feeling of spirit and loyal- ty to the Purple and Gold. ’ With the increase of schoolspirit, the attend- ance af sporting events increased. Spirited Mon- archs� and parents were G COMMON sight ar sport- INQ events instead of a ghostly memory. One such group of spirited Monarchs™iwas the Pep Club. These individuals were the driving force behind “the scenes at many games. They_dis- played their spirit by painting paw prints on their faces and fashioning colorful banners fo en- courage athletic teams. Junior Rob Doane stared, “We go to a lot of activi- ties, not just foorball games. School spirit only need- ed a.shor in the arm for ifs impact fo be felr.

Seated at far back left, Amy Bright and Amy Cohen focus their attention on the streets of Paris, France. They stopped often to enjoy the sights. A Sima Familant Amy Bright Students and teachers vacation to unique and memorable parts The day every Monarch had anxiously been antici- parting for nine long months had finally arrived. The bell struck 10:30 and the stu- dents flew our, ready fo spend three leisurely months away from school. Wherher a “true tourist’ or an “‘out for fun’’ vacationer, students and teachers found traveling to be a great break from the usual, daily routine. Junior Sima Familant’s most memorable experi- ence over the summer was a six week trip to Israel with forty other confirmation stu- dents from around the Unit- ed Srares. Junior William Phil- ips also participated in the trip. They traveled exten- sively on tours of all the ma- 10 Summer jor cities such as Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Haifa, and were also able to shop in these various cities. In addi- tion to shopping, Sima en- joyed “the wonderful dance clubs’’ and also the free time which she de- scribed as ‘a break from re- ality.”’ Another junior also had quife a summer vacation. Scott Baker thoroughly en- joyed the beautiful sites of Niagara Falls with his par- ents. He was fascinated with how well kept and clean the country is. The most pleasurable activity for Scort was the visit to the sec- ond largest mall in the world, The Eaton Center. The mall has over three hundred stores. Scott ex- claimed, ‘“You just can't see it all in one day.” Spring Break was no ordi- nary week for seniors Amy Bright and Amy Cohen. They traveled to the glam- orous cities in France and Spain for ten days. The trip was a school-affiliated func- tion of French clubs all over the United States. The two spent most of their time viewing popular landmarks, such as the famous Eiffel Tower and St. Paul's Cathe- dral. ‘The highlight of the occasion was the boar ride down the Seine River through Paris. The only downfall of the trip was the disgusting food,’’ explained Amy Cohen. Teachers, such as Mrs. Mamye Bacote and Mrs. Lucy Kelly, both found excit- ing ways to get their minds off ‘the students.’’ Not only did Mrs. Bacote go to the Bahamas on a cruise to Dol- phin Cove Island for a family reunion, bur she also re- laxed at Cape Cod for a week. She was able to ex- plore Plymouth Rock for the first time and stated, ‘My trips were most relaxing af- ter grading senior govern- ment exams. Mrs. Kelly found her va- cation not to be “all fun and games, bur a lor of hard work.’’ Mrs. Kelly, along with three other ladies, flew to Texas with a goal of mar- keting two books. The cook- book and children's party book sold, with grear de- mand, to benefit the Junior of the world League Organizarion. As for senior Laura Kallio, she spent two weeks over the summer in a wise and useful manner. With college just around the corner, Lau- ra visited Massachusetts and spent time art various col leges such as Boston, Srone- hill, and Emerson. Laura srar- ed thar ‘Simmons all girls’ school is my first choice be- cause it specializes in com- munication, which is my pri- mary career interest.”’ For some a week of va- cation was a week of work: while for orhers, if was a week of complete relax- ation. Whichever the case may have been, exotic lo- cations fulfilled the need for adventure.

If was excep- tional. ’ Exceptional could also be used to describe the parade to Toda Stadium. In addition to the four class floars, there were floats represented by the band, Pep Club, FBLA, and varsity and jv cheer- leaders. The homecoming court rode in converribles. City residents showed inter- est by gathering to warch the parade and by waving, honking their horns, and ex- pressing their support. Yelling was another way for students fo support their class float. The rivalry be- tween the junior and senior Classes peaked during the judging. Trying to our yell one another, the students became psyched for the game. The Pep Club kepr the enthusiasm up and the support alive throughout the game. The game seemed to be going well for the Monarchs when the team scored on the first kickoff. According to captain Marlon Bacote, the problems came when the offense had a breakdown. “We didn't work on our power offense,’’ explained Bacote, ‘‘and our defense had some mental mistakes. | think that’s whar allowed them to win. ’ The final score was 14-6, in Bethel’s favor. Halftime festivities boost- ed the crowd's morale. The band’s upbear rhythm primed the anticipating spectators for the an- nouncemenr of foorball sweetheart, selected by senior foorball players. Cho- sen from the varsity cheer- memories (continued) leaders, this year’s recipienr, Peggy Heubner, stated, '| was really surprised to have been chosen; if was ex- tremely flattering. It made my senior homecoming special. ’ Suspense increased by the minute. After each at- rendant was escorted onto the field, the attention shift- ed to the mistresses of cere- monies, Tasha Barnes and Jackie Parnacott. It was their duty to name the new queen. Elated screams filled the stadium when Christy Ascher accepred the crown. Christy's smiling face concluded halftime. Finally it was dancing time! Couples danced, are, talked with friends, and then danced some more. Sophomore Ashley Woodall commented thar the dance was a big improvement over last year's. ‘There were a lof more people dancing and having fun!”’ Thanks to the faculty and the student body's efforr, the dance was one fo re- member. Homecoming ‘88 provid- ed memories that students would hold on to long after the excitement had faded. According to Keith Pankoe, that would not be any time soon. “The total combina- tion of events made an un- forgettable week, especially painting the paw prints on Lucas Creek. Even though we lost the game, the im- portant parr was thar we had fun, and we really did have a wonderful time.” Allison Creech and Sharon Cole Homecoming 15 Taking time to Teflect on the past Year, Tosho Bornes and Buck Wells share 0 moment together before his Gracuotion to Say good-bye. 16 Dating Cathy Paul An important part of any date is transportation.

Among these are the many interesting restaurants thar studenrs en- joyed for their unique armo- sphere and of course, good food. Some of these includ- ed Cheddar's, Cheers, Red Baron, and Two Pesos. Cheddar's, located in the parking lor of Patrick Henry mall, is a casual, Texas-ori- ented cafe and lounge. Cheddar's offers Mexican- American cuisine in a warm atmosphere. Complete with - abar and appetizers, Ched- car's specializes in grilled, hometown Texas-style foods, Cheer's Unlimited, locat- ed in Oyster Point Industrial Park, is anorher inreresting resraurant.

MIRROR Image WIEKO wade The me | see in you; the you | Have you ever won- dered if there was some- one else, somewhere in the world who was a mirror im- age of yourself? The phrase “mirror image does not only refer to people who simply look alike; it may also refer to people who reflect similar mannerisms. It's not hard to find mirror images among family members, bur there are also those thar are unrelated and could easily pass for twins. Although they are not twins, Kathy Grist and Suzy Grist bear a close resem- blance. “‘People | don’t know often look ar me like they're on the verge of say- ing hello, bur instead ger a confused expression on their face and look away,’ Kathy admitted while dis- cussing her mirror image Suzy. 22 Mirror Image Debbie Nataupsky didn't have to go far to find her mirror image. She has been told all of her life thar she looks like her mother. ‘We have more in common than just looks,’’ Debbie ex- plained. “People say we have the same laugh, smile, and sense of humor.” Many people believe that when two people are near each other for a long period of time thar they ac- quire the same mannerisms. If this is true Mr. Don Roberts and Mrs. Page Roberts of the English department are a prime example. “'It’s al- most like having the same teacher for two years in a row, stated senior Lisa VanGuilder. Another amazing pair is Brian Butcher and John Vaughn, who are often mis- taken for brothers. Having see in me known each other for three years, they have devel- oped similar mannerisms, academic interests and ex- tra curricular activities. They both express enthusiastic in- volvement in class execu- tive board and church youth functions. “On occa- sion we've been asked if we're brothers, and we do have a lot similarities, but our personalities are differ- ent,’’ stated Brian Butcher. Whether brothers, sisters, or no relation at all, many students continue to roam the halls along with their “mirror image. So don't be surprised if someone you don't know comes up fo you and speaks, for it may be that they've mistaken you for your “mirror im- age.” Christy Gianerrino John Vaughn and Brian Butcher pause before class to discuss plans for the day.

Although only two weeks ago you and your mother spent six hours shopping in the Coliseum Mall, there seems to be nothing fo wecr. Fashion can make or break students during rheir high school careers. The trends of ‘88-89 and those who wore them were no exception to this unspoken rule. “You can do so many things with clothes,” said junior Adriel Thornton, “they allow you fo be cre- ative in a world thar lacks creativity.’ 1988-89 saw some of the old styles in a little different light. For example, farran plaids that were once worn to achieve a proper or so- phisticated look were worn in Q@ more contemporary fashion with black paren shoes, pins, or bows.

You can be casual or dressy depending on what you wear with it,’ nored senior Felicia Pearson. The traditional clothes of Polo, Guess, and Liz Clai- borne will always be popu- lar fro those who stay away from being too differenr. “Clothes like those of Liz Claiborne will always be popular, nor only because they are comfortable and practical, bur also because they have a look thar wil never go out of sryle,’’ said junior Audra Carraway. Hairstyles also reflected a little bit of difference. Crew- cuts, bowl cuts, and mo- hawks made their come- back. Senior Jeff Sheppard boasted one of the shorrests haircuts at Menchville. °| don't do it for style, bur jusr because it makes it easier for me to run, and besides it's a lot more practical.” Junior Richard Rountree commented ‘a person's hairsryle tells a lor abour rhar individual.”’ No martrer whar the par- ticular mode of expression, whether a little bit different or a little traditional, fashion was an essential aspect of Monarch life. Senior Marl Nimmo nored, ‘‘Fashion should express a person's in- dividualiry.”’ Maureen Kelley Fashion 25 The pressures of school: rests, quizzes, homework, reports, projects, papers, and everybody's favorites: mid-term and final exams, often seemed overwhelm- ing To students. On top of this, seniors also had to wor- ry about college admission. “It's like a long, drawn out torture. Colleges make you apply in the fall and then don't tell you about admis- sion until spring, leaving five months for you to drive yourself nuts,’ said senior Craig Lynch. The amount of time spent on projects, papers, and reports often resulted with a student spending 26 Stress endless hours into the night and sometimes the morn- ing. ‘It seems as if teachers assign everything at the same time come? TO think of it, they do! ’, joking- ly remarked senior Brian Klose. With activities and athletics that many were in- volved in, there was barely time left for sleep. Many students agreed that second semester was easier. For seniors this was true mainly because there was more fo look forward to, such as graduation and prom. Burt for the majoriry just Knowing that summer vacation was nearing was enough to make second se- mester better.

Senior Milke Lett commented, “'If you're al- ways worrying abour what other people think about you, how can you concen- trare on the real meaning of school — ro learn. If you like it — wear ift!’’ Lett pointed our, however, that some people felt the need fo pro- ject to what groups they be- longed or even to what groups they wished to be- long. “Some people feel that by wearing a certain style, they are automatically part of a particular group,” Lett believed. Many teachers believed thar the shirts thar students wear today would not have been tolerated in earli- er years. Times have changed and so have the styles and images thar kids wished to project.

While some Monarchs chose fo study for their classes and others spent their free time with friends, some chose to work after schoo! to occupy their time. Why did some Monarchs choose to work instead of having the afternoon to themselves? Senior Dure Trvong stated, ‘| work for money and thar's ir.’ Mon- ey is the main reason most people chose to work, but there were other reasons roo.

Buying clothes, going to rhe movies, and going on dares were some of the most popular expenses students faced. As junior Todd Filer stated, “Most of my money goes to the upkeep of my car, like gas and insurance costs. No matter what jobs sru- dents had, they learned new skills, mer new friends, and enjoyed their pay- checks. Monarchs showed their pride in their work as well as in their school.

A few of these changes included the adci- tion of snack machines, stronger school spirit, stricter rules, and new faculty members. One of the changes most noted by the returning stu- dents was the addition of snack machines in the hall- ways. Now, not only drinks were purchased, bur also potato chips and candy. The snack machines gained instant popularity. “When- ever | used to get hungry in the morning, the only thing | could do was wait for lunch- time, ’ replied junior Shawn Purgold. ‘‘But now whenev- er | need something fo eat, | can go to the snack ma- chines and ger something.” Another difference be- tween this year and last was the stronger school spir- it which was linked with the Pep Club, an organization that focused on school en- 34 Changes in School thusiasm. This spirited group was responsible for the parking lot paw prints that greeted students back fo school. They also made up the cheering section af many of the sporting events. School spirit this year was also shown with the great participation in spirit week. This week before Home- coming gave students a chance to show off their spirit by participating in the week's activities, like college day, class color day, twin day, fifties day, and of course, purple and gold day. “Overall, participation in spirit week was very good,’” replied Mrs. Joyce Douglas, SCA sponsor, 'es- pecially with rivalry be- tween the juniors and sen- iors with spirit links. With the coming of new school spirit also came strict- er rules with the arrival of a new principal. Closed cam- ous policy was enforced by chains which restricted stu- dents from leaving the parl- ing lor. “It’s humiliating,” Stretching across the ceiling in front of the cafeterias, spirit links gave proof of the strong sense of pride that students possessed. said senior David Holokai. “Ir's like they're trapping us in Between classes, teach- ers were required to stand outside their rooms fo insure the safety of the students, which seemed to be the reason behind many new rules. At foorball games, stu- dents were forced fo re- main in the bleachers. Perhaps the newest twist to the school year was the new faces behind the desks and in the classrooms, in- cluding the new principal, Dr. John Kilpatrick. Formerly principal at Ferguson High School, ‘‘Killer’’ emphasized enthusiasm in school activi- fies. Although a few of these changes were accepted with a bit of hesitation, many realized thar all things eventually change.

Lockers revolred and re- fused fo open ar the begin- ning of the year. All of the kicking and pounding they had taken over the past years pushed the lockers to their limits. Sometime during the summer the lockers had deliberately switched their combinations so they could not be opened. For the first week and a half of the school year, No one could be issued a locker. At first, none of the stu- dents complained. They did not have to pur up with the hassles of lockers sticking or books not fitting. Another wave of relief swepr over the students when the ad- ministration announced that teachers were not to hand our books until the lockers were fixed. However, as time passed, feachers were forced to disobey this order. This angered the students. Junior Andrew Bartelr ex- plained, “| didn't like the fact that the administration said textbooks should nor be issued, bur teachers did so anyway. | had to carry around all those heavy books for a week. Afrer the combination mix-ups were solved, sfu- dents still found reasons fo complain. Seniors especially found it unfair that they had to share lockers. ‘Seniors shouldn't have to share the small half-lockers. They are too tiny. We need more space, and we deserve ir,” declared senior Amy Brighr. Seniors were not the only ones thar grumbled about the size of the lockers. “How am | supposed to fir all of my books, nores, and my jacker in that thing?” asked freshman Stephanie McMorris. Junior Hale Hern- don gave his opinion, srar- ing, “They should make the lockers bigger, and the books smaller!” Orher problems occurred with the lockers. Often they got stuck or would nor close properly. Freshman Jennie Shields exclaimed, “It was nice if my locker opened for me once a week.” On the flip side of the coin, Many students were scared thar their belongings would be srolen since some lockers would nor shur prop- erly. Junior Anneli Coolbear explained, “Sometimes | wonder if teachers give Our wrong combinations. For example, my locker opens on every other number bur the right one.” While lockers gave has- sles fo many, Most admitted thar withour them their lives would have been even more chaotic. Lockers pro- vided a haven for most stu- dents to unload their heavy books, char with rheir friends, and organize their thoughts for the next peri- 09. Shannon Barringer Lockers 37 Weurcwille PS. For many, the pay doesn't end at 1:45 For many students, the tone of the bell at 1:45 was just another signal to ‘con- tinue on.’ Whether the case was a make-up test, a club meeting, or sports in- volvemenr, students found themselves spending valu- able time in school after hours. Athleric students had strong commitments fo stay- ing after hours. Practice time involved nearly two fo three hours of workout dai- ly. Malinda Woodman com- mented, ‘‘Practice time is great when you enjoy the sport as much as | do. ’ The act of staying after school every day became a habit for some students through almost the entire year. Derek Peartree, a junior who participated in foorball and wrestling, stated, °'| have forgotten what it’s like to go home before five, bur 38 Menchville P.S. the hard worl pays off.’ For athletes, dedication and dererminarion in sports overpowered the desire to head home early. Students, in some cases, were forced fo stay after school withour any say so. Detention was an example of this. Rick Parnell felr this rule unfair. He commented, ‘Second through sixth peri- od is no problem, bur first period is almost impossible to get to on time.” Workshops after school, particularly in marth classes, tended to be helpful for many students. The special aid helped students catch up on missed lessons and feel more confident before a test.

Taking part in these campaigns enabled many seniors fo encounter responsibiliries thar they will face as adults. The government classes held a mock election, allow- ing seniors fo voice their opinions for the candidates of their choice. Seniors also volunteered their services by distributing literature and posting signs for their favor- ite candidates, helping our at campaign headquarters, or working af the polls on election day. For their hard work, seniors received extra credit in their government classes.

These experi- ences, along with research- ing the beliefs of the candi- dares, helped seniors decide who they would support in the mock election. Also, in government classes, teach- ers discussed with the stu- dents the aspects of a cam- paign. Seniors were encouraged to form their own beliefs by warching the debates on television, reading newspaper articles about the candidates, and talking over issues with fam- ily and friends. The seniors’ mock elec- tion held on October 25th permitted the students to vote for their favorite candi- dates. Also on the ballor, were two major referen- dums, the parimurual ber- ting bill and the waterworks bill. Students overwhelming- ly elected Bush, Robb, and Bateman. The two referen- dums easily passed as well. Interestingly enough, rhe re- sults of the mock election showed the seniors’ opin- ions reflected those of the adults in Virginia. The elec- tion was also a terrific learn- ing process. Senior Amy Bright commented, ‘The mock election heloed me to ger a feel for what to do in a real voting situation, so when | went to vore in rhe actual e lection on Novem ber 8th, | knew exactly what to do.’ Most seniors felt the mock election was a wonderful success. The climax of the seniors’ political srudies occurred on election day, November 8th. Most seniors were hap- py with the outcomes of the election, and all were glad thar they had contrib- ured in a small way during the campaigns.

The combination of the white blanket and a few hours off caused the minds of many to wander towards the approaching holidays.

Only 32 more minutes! As your teacher drones on, you be- gin drifting off to sleep. Then suddenly, just as your eyes close, you hear a dying duck — no! That's nor a duck; it’s the fire alarm! “| remember one time when the fire alarm went off,’’ reminisced senior Steve Sparkman. ‘'We stood our there for at least thirry minutes. Fire trucks came and everything. | gor excited for a few seconds, but of course there wasn't a fire. There were two small fires this year. The first was a motor in the library's video room thar burned our and started an electrical fire. '| was walking down the hall- way during lunch,’ said As- sistant Principal Mr. David Barr, ‘‘and | heard this pop- ping noise. We investigated, and found the motor spark- ing. Thankfully, we gor it un- der control right away.” The other fire was in the teachers’ lounge. “The wa- ter fountain exploded! ’ ex- claimed Amanda Smith. “'It was a mess. Apparently the Mr. Floyd Hicks helps direct firemen at a drill. The department's prompt attention provided assurance of safety in the event of an actual fire. A Fe fire alarm only went off in the main part of the build- ing. No one heard it in the new wing nor the academ- ic part of the building.”’ “| didn't even know there was a fire!’’ said junior Dawn Gremer. “| came out into the hall, and it smelled awful. Everybody starred saying that the warer foun- tain blew up. | didn't know what to think, because | hadn't heard a fire alarm.”’ Fire drills were conducted fo ensure our safety. They were usually scheduled in good weather, and no one bur a few administrators knew when they were fo be done. To senior Mike Pa- vusa, ‘Fire drills provided time to associate with peo- ple who aren't in my class. And of course there’s al- ways someone you haven't seen before, and you ask yourself “who is thar?” Some find the drills an- noying. Shane Brookman commented, “One time it went off when | was up in front of the class doing a project. | torally lost ir! Thar was embarrassing! Fire drills were annoying fo some, exciting to others, and for most a way fo get our of class. Bur no matter what, they were a fact of life. So the next time you're in class and you hear a dy- ing duck ... ahem ... fire alarm, just remember: our the door, fo the right, around the corner, and exit through the set of double doors.

Allison Creech A Little Bir Extra 53 Trends _of the 80's EVERYTHING OLD Is NEW AGAIN Everything old is new again was undoubtedly the saying applicable to the trends of the 1980's. Reflec- tions of the past could be seen not only in our clothing and hairstyles, but also in our pastimes and entertain- ment as well. As 1990 ap- proaches, the memories stu- dents will have will strongly resemble those of their par- ents. The fashions, for exam- ple, showed strong _ influ- ences from the past. The re- turn of psychedelic prints, mini skirts, and accessories such as hoop earrings were clear echoes of a bygone era. As Libby Stemann said, “| can wear my mother’s old clothes because they re- flect the styles of today.” Hairstyles were also_ influ- enced by earlier times, with the return of the ponyrail and the new resurgance of bows. Crew cuts and flar tops were cuts that re- gained popularity for men. Certain pastimes also re- turned. Skateboarding re- emerged to such an extent that laws were passed fo prevent their presence on school grounds. Surfing also gained a_ following, with many students spending their time catching a wave. The field of entertainment showed similarities to the past. Classics such as ‘‘Para- dise City’’ and ‘ Groovy Kind of Love were made into modern hits. However, the biggest revival was thar of the Bearles, and tunes such as ‘Twist and Shour.”’ The concept of traveling back in time also figured greatly in the entertainment scene. The movies Back to the Future, Peggy Sue Got Married, Platoon, and Stand By Me all had the basic precept of visiting a past era. Although many of the in- terests of today reflect past ideas, they are still essential- ly our own. The basic meaning might be the same, bur each was given a modern twist. By doing this, we have made the past the present, but a little bit differ- ent.

When each mem- ber contributed his individual poinr of view, the differences combined to form a meeting ground for alll. However, this was made easier by the fact thar each club had a common field of interest. If for- eign languages held one’s interest, then the French, German, Latin, or Spanish Clubs had some- thing to offer. Even a particular interest in a sub- ject, such as math or science, had an organization for further exploration. Thus, there was an ample choice for eager students. Each of these clubs, though made of a variety of students and formed for a different purpose, all had a key element in common — a desire to share and expand on a certain subject. Menchville has made important contributions, not only to the students, bur throughout the community, by offer- ing organizations in which students participate and learn.

The Show and Jazz Choir was selected to perform in “A Salure to Broadway.” “When Mr. Pipkin an- nounced fo US we were asked to perform in New York, everyone was speechless,’’ noted Antone Porter, president of the group. This concert was held in Avery Fisher Hall in New York City on May 21. While in New York the Show Choir joined three oth- er high school show choirs for extensive preparation for their concert. The choirs worked with professional musicians and choreogra- phers in order to perfect 20 pieces of music to perform. “We now know the impor- tance of rehearsals; we worked hard, and the per- formance was incredible,” explained junior Shannon Mclnnis. As part of an exchange program with their host school, Fox Lane High School, the Show Choir rook time our to perform their regular concert show ser.

ROTC cadets sponsored and participated in a wide vari- ery of activities orher than drilling and marching. The spectrum of ROTC activiries ranged from the sponsoring of Red Cross blood drives ro participating in national ac- riviries such as the National Leadership and Freedom Conference. In berween alll of their activities, cadets also found time to participare in drill meets and parades, in addition to acting as color guard at foorball games.

Bur what about the stu- dent who wants fo pursue a vocational career fo ex- pand his knowledge in bio- logical and technical _ sci- ences? This question can be answered in two words — New Horizons. New Horizons is a region- al technical center thar of- fers secondary vocational programs, Governor's School for Science and Tech- nology, advanced vocation- al programs, and state ap- prenticement and adult continuing education. Dr. Anderson, professor of biol- ogy at the center, said, “The curriculum is basically divided into two parts: the Governor's School for Sci- ence and Technology, and the vocational programs. The students are required to work five fo six hours a week in a mentorship or partnership with respective businesses, programs, and institutions.’ Principal P.M. Konopnicki elaborated, ‘“We try fo inte- grate curriculum so thar, for example, physics students can understand electronic concepts and cosmetology students can appreciate the chemistry involved in their work.'’ Vocational student Billy Joe Lawrence said, “New Horizons is like a job. It gives us a taste of the real world in that we're graded on our daily work, and not just how much we've learned. The programs are based on trying and im- provement.” If trying and improve- ment are the keys to learn- ing, then the students that participate in the science club learn quite a bit.

These clubs, which fo- cused on business, home making, and industrial arts, were geared towards pre- paring students for their planned careers. To do so, each club offered students hands-on experience to ex- pose them to the demands of that occupation. From FBLA, DECA, and COE for business, home economics and FHA for home-making, to industrial arts and AIASA for constructing, students of the technology clubs earned a distinct advantage in their planned careers. Preparing for the future was a main goal of all three business clubs: FBLA, DECA, and COE. “We're trying to have fun while striving to do the best we can business- wise. If we decide fo have a Christy Gianertino career in business, then we'll have a good back- ground,’’ said FBLA Presi- dent Nona Bacote. Future Business Leaders of America was geared to- ward preparing its members for a business career. “We're trying fo get people involved in business. We're also trying to become bert- ter leaders ourselves,’ said FBLA Vice-President Jurea Slaughter. Leadership, par- ticipation, and community service were three key points to the FBLA, accord- ing to Mrs. Molly Hampker, FBLA sponsor. ‘‘Our job is to inform, give students experi- ence, and make them knowledgeable.” Preparing for the future was also a goal for Distribu- tive Education Clubs of America. This clu0 was for marketing students, and it helped ‘“‘develop furure leaders for marketing and managemenr,’’ according to. Mrs. Maxine Morgan. Vice President Christy Ascher said, 'If you're going into the marketing field, it's a good club to be involved in. Also, if you're going to college, this program will help you excel.’’ DECA members strived for excel- lence in social and civic lead- ership, and vocational ar- eas, and still had fun in the process. The Co-operative Educa- tion brought the future to the present, allowing stu- dents to attend school for part of the day and work for the rest. These students got experience in their cho- sen fields, and gained valu- able knowledge of the busi- ness world. “By working at CEBAF, | have learned what working in the real world is like. | love being able to leave school after fourth pe- riod and get paid for it, ’ said Barbara Mahady. continued page 90 Proper instruction is necessary when working with industrial equipment.

Technology Clubs 89 Ready, Set, Go (contd) The home economics class and their affiliated club, Furure Homemakers of America, also gave students the chance to learn. The food science class, for ex- ample, involved students cooking particular dishes, as well as learning the basics of measurement and urensil use. As Tricia Bowser com- ments, “'l think this class is beneficial because ir feach- es a person special tips for making a recipe work our.

Each course was counted as one math or science credit, an added enticement for students. Malaika Lynch comment- ed, ‘| like learning things thar will definitely play a part in my life; and because they are taught in such de- rail, if only males sense that they are credited.”’ The stu- dents came away with a firm basis for a future in homemaking.

Concentrating mostly on woodworking and machine use, they gave students the opportu- nity to refine their mechani- cal abilities. As Mike Todo said, “They've really helped me develop better skills in construction, which is the field | plan to pursue.” Charles Jones agreed, con- tinuing, “Although | don't plan a career in construc- tion, industrial arts has given me a better feel for my en- gineering career.’ Thus, by providing chances for students to get a taste of their careers, in- dustrial arts helps them ei- ther to cement or rethink their furure plans.

There was hard work in- volved, bur many students found the experience to be worth it. Their dedication and perseverance will un- doubtedly pay off for them in the future. ‘It’s something thar requires dedicarion,’’ commented Jurea Slaugh- rer. “If you really want to be successful, you have to put a lot into it.

Before he glues down copy, it is essential that his plan for the page be complete. Investigating a different look Creative staff designs new unique layouts Efficiency and creativity heightened the ability of The Lion's Roar. The staff kept on schedule, producing Qa paper every month. The new addition for pro- duction of the paper was a hard disk drive for the com- purer. Editor Ann Davis ex- plained, “The hard drive saves time and eliminates the need for floppy disks. We have a better selection of print types, also.”’ Creativity on the staff was a high point of the newspaper. The overall ap- pearance of the paper was greatly improved. Senior Amanda Smith comment- ed, “Layout has always been a challenge. Howev- er, this year we spent less time learning about the ba- sics, aNd More time making layout interesting. ’ The staff was full of incen- tive with swift and speedy production. With eight re- turning staffers, they were quick to organize and get to worl. Senior Scott Allen em- Carhy Paul phasized, ‘If made it easier at the beginning of the year to get the new people ac- quainted. Also, many of the new people rook Journalism |, so they were well pre- pared.”’ New page headings and by-lines gave the newspa- per a new look. Senior Edi- tor Ann Davis developed the page headings and title name plate on the comput- er. Junior Maureen Kelly confirmed, ‘‘Too offen there's a tendency for things fo stay the same, so its nice to have the change. ”’ To add to the depth of the staff, the journalists took part in a variety of pro- grams designed fo aid school newspapers. There was a seminar at UVA in the fall thar fourreen people attended. It included a newspaper judging, and The Lions Roar won second place. Also, the staff attend- ed a day long seminar spon- sored by the The Daily Press- Times Herald. There were workshops offered for which individuals signed up, including design, artwork, features, and sports. Anoth- er chance to broaden hori- zons was offered over the summer at VCU. Senior Deb- bie Nataupsky, who attend- ed the event, spent a week with newspaper writers from all over the state. She explained, ‘We worked on new ideas for headlines, and increased our knowl- edge of working with the computer.”’ Overall, the newspaper staff can boast of increased ingenuity this year. They ex- hibited amazing creativity, layour ability, and aptitude with computers. Editor Ann Davis summed it up, “I’ve been lucky fo see so much happen in one year, and I'm really proud of all we've accomplished. | couldn't have asked for a more ded- icated and talented staff.’’ Allyson Eubank Making necessary editorial deci- sions, Ann Davis and advisor Julie Ferrell discuss the layout for the Jan- uary issue.

Cathy Paul Capturing the Difference Yearbook staff works to make book unique earning was a require- ment, not an elective, to the ‘89 yearbook staff. The staff was com- posed of inexperienced staffers with the exception of a few students. With great potential, the year- book staff worked diligently and quickly to undersrand the process involved in mak- ing a yearbook. A work- shop, held ar the Universtiy of Virginia, provided an ide- al opportunity for the staff to learn how to creatively represent Menchville. Jillian Richardson, the yearbook editor, commented, “The responsibility as editor has not only taught me how to 98 Yearbook work better with people but also has given me more writing experience.” Realizing the differences established on the staff and throughout the school, the staff devored the beginning of the year to brainstorming a theme for the yearbook. The school and community were undergoing minor changes: a new principal and president, for example, and the yearbook staff de- cided fo recognize these changes with a yearbook entitled “A Little Bir Differ- ent. Representing the entire school was the long term goal of rhe staff and work- ing together was the key to the short term goals of mak- ing deadlines. It was not un- common for the dedicated staff to spend Friday eve- nings adding the finishing touches on the spreads in order for the yearbook to be printed in time. Howev- er, the entire staff used grades as an incentive to make deadlines. Yearbook students received a credit for a Journalism ll class and Matt Nazzaro felt thar the rewarding experience of contributing to the school was worth sacrificing a litle bit of extra time.

Each of us attempts this in his own way, either by studying in groups to get feedback, spending time each evening on homework, or putting extra effort into an oral report. Whatever the method, each chal- lenge posed is approached with Monarch dedica- tion. This dedication is a necessity in achieving our goals. From calculus to French, each course re- quires applicatiion for success. However, though P.J. Pcsolinski tries his hand at computers. Many students discov- ered that learning to work with computers is a necessity for the future. Courses offered gave students an opportunity to gain much needed experience with computers. Carhy Paul Joey Bell hurries to complete his homework during class in order to have his afternoon free to do as he pleases. Free afternoons are a luxury to most students. occasional lare nights postpone sleep until the weekend, the effort pur into a subject will un- doubtedly return its rewards. These rewards come nor only in the form of good grades, bur as a satisfying sense of achievement, which breeds further accomplishments. Another factor contributing to our academic superiority is the strong rapport between students and teachers. I feel we can talk to [the teachers], and it’s easier to learn from them when we real- ize they're people just like us, ” commented senior Cindy Vian.

This willingness can be seen throughour our school: from office secretaries answering questions abour an early dismissal, to the student leaving school an hour larer to catch up on a marth lesson. Devotion and understanding have both figured in Menchville’s academic success. The habits we acquire in our quest for knowledge establish a firm basis for our furures. Thus, from our Menchville experience, we are better prepared to achieve further goals in later life. Carhy Paul Josh Draper looks over his notes to prepare himself for an upcom- ing quiz.

BY Leaders Prepare For While most Monarchs were playing in the hot summer sun, there were a few gifted students who participated in different pro- grams designed ro stimulate their learning and broaden their knowledge. These stu- dents dedicated part of their summer vacations and at- tenged Governor's School, Girls’ Stare, Boys’ State, and the Summer Insture for the Arts. These programs were held at various colleges threughour Virginia during the summer months and enabled several Menchville students to meet people from other towns who shared their interests and dreams. Governor's School was heig at four locations. Amanda Smith attended the University of Richmond, where she studied art histo- ry and government. Amelia Huar, Sharon Wertz, and Erin Hickey went to The Governor's School for the Arts at Radford Universiry. 106 Summer Programs Nicole Fuller journeyed to Virginia Tech to study sci- ence and Lonnie Fender spent his summer learning with NASA and VIMS. While all of the stu- dents studied in their select- ed areas, some were lucky enough ro also learn about the Japanese language and cultures. The students af- tended classes during the regular school day and also heard various speakers. They took field trips to re- search their respective ar- eas of study. All encoun- tered instructors who made learning fun and interesting. “The best aspect of atrend- ing Governor's School was meeting people my own age with my same inter- ests,’’ Amanda Smith com- mented. Nicole Fuller agreed, adding “'It is so easy and fun to learn when you are surrounded by friends with similar goals.’ Sisters Sharon and Karen Cole spent a week at Long- wood College attending Erin Hickey works on a painting at Governor's School.

Do you feel thar the crowd- ed halls and busy schedules simply don''t fit into your life? The school system has three solutions to those problems: the New Horizons Technical Center (Vo-Tech), the Voca- tional Education Magnet School (Vo-Mag), and Point Option. Each has provided alrernate means of study to many students. The New Horizons Techni- cal Center and the Voca- tional Education Magnet School were closely linked options. In both schools, stu- dents attended regular classes af their home school for a portion of the day, and then left for instruction in specific courses related fo their intended career fields. As Lloyd Fitzgerald, an auto mechanic student at Vo- Tech explained, ‘‘Srudents come our with an idea of what's expected in that job.” Eric Bares, student of facility maintenance at Vo- Tech, said, “They have highly qualified teachers who try to help. By placing Ue i a ; ; ! rm, 2 ae you in a job, Vo-Tech helps you find yourself by giving you opportunity fo try.” The Vocational Education Magnet School worked on the same principles. Howev- er, this school centered on occupations such as the culi- nary arts. Spencer Carpen- fer, a cooking studenr, said, “We have fun here, and it's interesting for those who want to learn.” Although the program taught occupa- tional skills, this was nor all. Remarked Tim Marquez, also a cooking studenr, “‘It’s given me more pride in my- PO eed self and in what I'm doing.”’ Another choice for stu- dents was Point Option. In contrast to the half days ar the home school for Vo- Mag and Vo-Tech students, however, Point Option's stu- dents attended only the Deer Park campus. The at- mosphere there was entire- ly different from thar of the average school. ‘We have a lot more freedom,”’ said Edwin Milbury. He contin- ued, “It's very much like a college: it was set Up so that we attend classes to learn for ourselves, not because we were forced fo.”’ This open atmosphere has prov- en successful in promoting interest. Point Option, Vo-Mag, and Vo-Tech each had as- pects which answered the needs of their students. Whether if was more con- centration on career skills, or merely an alrernative to the “regular” schedule, these programs provided educa- tion with a twist. As Carpen- ter said, “This class has been enjoyable and thars what learning is really all abour — having fun.”’ oe Tommy Zuckerwaor Jonathan Hinkle enters a program into the computer during class.

This was a major problem thar ESOL and foreign ex- change students faced. The students of ESOL, En- glish for Speakers of Orher Languages, came from thir- teen different countries. The ESOL teacher, Ms. Parma Deas, was in charge of teaching thirty reens how to speak, write, and read En- glish. “They want to learn the language,’’srated Ms. Deas. “They have fo learn English in order to survive. They push to learn.” Surviving was something they were used to. Most were from war-torn areas, or immigrants. ‘These kids have been through a lor,”’ said Ms. Deas, “'It’s a culture shock, walking into an American high school.”’ Foreign exchange stu- dent Sergio Bustamante de- scribed some of the differ- ences, saying, ‘The schools here are different because ar home there is one school for all grades, not just 9-12. There you know everyone, and it is easy to make friends. Here it takes time. Foreign exchange student Almun- dena Carcamo adapts to her new class. The program allows students to experience and understand vari- ous cultures. Sergio Bustamante is one of our ex- change students.

At home, they are huge, with dancing, and loud music, and you decorate your house with lights.

IN my country, you go fo school from 12 to 5:15, said Juan Hernandez. ‘At my school, you go fo school from 7-5, and you eat lunch and dinner there,’’ ex- claimed Jin Hi Parlx. ‘Food is different too,”’ said Wahsei Miran. Miran went on to say that one difference was tax. “If you guy somerthing in my country,”’ said Miran, “you don't have to pay tax! “In my country, T.V. stops at nine p.m.,’’ said Dinh Nguyen, ‘Vietnam runs the T.V. programs, and there is only one channel.”’ Foreign exchange stu- dents also found many dif- ferences in America and their own countries. Caroli- na Carazo and her two sis- ters, Gabriela and Maria, were from Costa Rica. They Allison Creech enjoyed it here, bur Carolina said she liked it better in Cos- ta Rica. “The people here are friendly, but | miss my family and friends,”’ said Carolina, ‘The biggest differ- ence is the way the young people live. Here you do things thar | couid never do. Even driving is different. Thar is one reason | enjoy living here, ’ said Carolina, “| can drive! At home you can't drive until you are eighteen. Here | have my lice nse. My friends back home are so jealous!”’ Both ESOL and foreign exchange students made many adjustments to life in America. “There are so many differences thar we can hardly start to compare them, ' states Sergio. These students had many new ex- periences while trying to carry on a normal life in a new country. However, they had a great sense of dedication. They handled the culture shock, and met their challenges with deter- minarion.

The program was designed to give gifted students the opportunity to gain experience in a profes- sion in which they are inter- ested.

However, Mrs. Lentz com- mented, ‘My main job is to handle the paperwork for PR while Mr. Outlaw han- dies after school derention.”’ Mrs. Lentz noticed thar “the children’s problems are more serious this year than last year.” Mrs. Brenda Eversole had the responsibliry of handling the absentee records of the students. Another group of people who directly affected the lives of the students were the guidance counselors. Composed of a staff of eight, the counselors helped students plan their schedules fo maximize their porentials. They more importantly, provided a support system for students who needed in- formation and advice. The latest in computer systems at the library had a positive impact on the stu- dents, as well as the librari- ans and assistants. In addi- tion to the city terminal, the _ library moved fo a comput — er method of checking our books. Each book has its own specific code number in the compurer.

Anew f data base called News — Bank’ was also available to students and covered many more periodicals. Mrs. Rossi _ said, “The advancement in _ technological growth is un- believable and will definitely prepare kids for college life.” Senior Peggy Huebner commented, “| don’t think any school day would run © as smoothly withour the presence of the secretaries, librarians, and the atrend- ance stoff.”’ continued page 117.

From skiing the slopes to shooting some pool, sfu- dents found recreational ac- tivities outside of school a great way fo have fun in their free time. However for some, these activities weren't just a way to have fun; many students have been involved in outside sports for several years and compete as well. Sophomore Karen Robin- son has been horseback rid- ing for five years at Hunter's Way. “| hope to continue my riding during my college years at UVA, ’ she srared. Jason Monk, who has been skiing for years, stated rhart “with the addition of the Ski Club this year and the in- creased number of ski trips I've been on, | think |'ll con- finue to enjoy cing for many more years.” Swimming seemed to be a popular though controver- sial tropic between Monarch swimmers and administra- tors.

Swimmer Kevin Mo- rello stated, ‘‘We did really well ar the ODU swim meet considering thar we didn't even really have a swim ream. It was really just the members of the Swim Club thar competed.’ One of the comperirors, Laura Whanger, commented, “Menchville has a lor of tal- ented swimmers, and | think thar it would grearly benefir the school if we had a swim team. Menchville achieved ex- cellence in school relared athletics, bur those people involved in outside sports also achieved personal ex- cellence. Even though their achievements went unrec- ognized most of the time, students involved in non- school relared activities were becoming more and more noticed. Lynerre Bevacqua Outside Sports 121 Trainers and managers give teams support Whether they filled up water bortles, taped ankles, or just lent moral suppor, managers were considered ‘another member of the ream.’ This kinship was seen on the gymnastics, field hockey, foorball, track, wrestling, and baskerball teams. Rob Doane and Matt Na- zarro were the managers for the gymnastics team. Junior Rob Doane, who managed lasr year also, stated, “| couldn't resist an- other year because | love the feeling of being needed and depended upon. It’s the hardest job you'll ever love.” These two arrived early ar every practice fo put up equipment and stayed late everyday to pull ir down. They also pulled spring boards, moved mats, and played floor routine tapes. Nazarro summed up his job by stating, ‘lr takes a lot of time and effort, our the gymnast’s determination made it worthwhile.” Junior Carmen Johnson was the manager for the 122 Managers track team. Her main job was keeping information about the ream organized for the coaches and aiding the runners. Carmen com- mented, “| do everything the team does except the actual sporr.”” Field hockey was man- aged by Glen Granger, Rob Granger, David Marinial, and Par Day. They consid- ered their job a feam effort, organizing tasks so thar one person would ger the water while the other kept score, for example. To keep up the interest, they continually switched jobs. The football and basket- ball teams were basically managed by the same peo- _ ple. Darren Johnson, Linda Debroux, Barbara Jordan, Nicky McCleadon, and Ven- etta Cain all aided rhe foor- ball team to a safe and comfortable season. These people were also student trainers. Darren Johnson and Venetta Cain continued through the winter season by also managing basker- ball. Venetta Cain, a dedi- cated manager for four years, commented, “| har- ed to give ir up — foorball is the best!” Those who experienced the life behind the scenes for the first time included Wayne Clark, a new bas- kerball trainer, and Daryl Griffiths, who helped with the wrestling team. Thus, the managers played a key role in keep- ing the team running smoothly. As Peogy Huebner of the gymnastics team said, “They were life- savers for all of the reams!” Karen Cole Liferouch Field hockey manager David Marin- iak helps team members to some water after a game.

Managers 123 | ake No Jive Cooperation Continuity is the key fo the cheerleading squad this year. The team has contin- ved their tradition of spirit and enthusiasm. Both varsi- ty and junior varsity have used creative energy more than ever before. The addition of new uni- form separates were anx- iously awaited by the girls. Varsity received new pur- ole sweaters, and turtle- necks from the Limited. The junior varsity team got new skirts. However, many felt the best addition was the new swearsuits. Soohomore Jennifer Boyd commented, “We enjoy wearing the swearsuits to the wrestling marches. They're comfort- able for sitting on the floor, and they march the wres- tlers’ uniforms. Both squads faced some adversity, since they could not go to summer camp. In past years, the cheerleaders have attended the National Cheerleading Associarion Summer Camp at Old Do- minion University in July. This is where they learn new 124 Cheerleaders and continuity key to squad cheers for the coming sea- son and are helped by pro- fessional cheerleaders.

When school spirit is high and cheerleaders are lead- ing the whole school to root for the team, we're doing what we're supposed fo. That’s what being a cheer- leader really should be abour.”’ The togetherness of the team, combined with a rise in school spirit, gave the cheerleaders a memorable year.

The ream had virtually no prob- lem in compiling a 9-0 record and the only close match was ar Lafayette where the team did nor have their complete line-up. Nor only did the players fare well together as a ream, but dominated the district as individuals also. Ev- ery starter had a winning record.

One of the most impor- rant factors contributing to the team’s success was a strong sense of reamwork. The team not only worked hard at practice, but often they went out on weelk- ends. As each member got to know each other better off the court, their bonds on the court became closer.

Coached by Don Miner, the team began practice in Au- gust with an arsenal of big hitters and consistent starters thar would eventually net them a second place stand- ing in the district and a fourth place in regionals. Mike Harvey, P.J. Pcso- linski, Kevin Rowe, Chris Seamster, Graham Williams, and Larry Paffrath were the six players that started in most of the matches. Of these, senior P.J. Pcsolinski commented that, ‘Mike Harvey was our most consis- tent player. He had the best round of any district player, shooting back-to-back 80's.”’ Yet, even with Harvey's 128 Golf consistency and the talent of the starters, Pcsolinski said thar the team “never could combine four good scores. We had an extremely good season with the exception of two matches, one in which four of our starters were disqualified, and one in which we simply choked. ’ Senior Bill Soren- son agreed thar the season was good, bur also thar, “the team didn't play fo its full porentrial.”’ Although the year could have been better, the golf- ers had a good time togeth- er and, as Pcsolinski said, “We messed around a lot bur the fact is, we got along well and thar helped us when if came fime fo play.” Doug DeBerry Senior P.J.

Trey Lawrence ) Golf 129 From aerobics to bowl ing, the physical education department introduced a variety of sports thar they hoped would intrigue stu- dents and get them in- volved in physical fitness even after the classes were over. Athletic Director Coach Jim Snow hoped thar, “By giving the students such a wide range of activi- ties, they can find one that will hold their interest and keep them physically active all their lives.” The physical education department has been in- creasingly successful in their efforts to interest students in exercise and various sports. Within the past few years, they have implemented programs such as the one thar allows the sophomores to go fo a bowling alley each day for three weeks to learn the sport. They used to bowl with make- shift lanes set up in the gym. Another new area of study is the aerobics program The end of a “‘flicker-ball’”” play gives the students a chance to rest from the demands of the game. With its intricate rules, flicker ball occupies the mind and body. 130 Gym Class Physical education promotes fitness for life which the sophomores also took part in. Senior Karen Cole, who had been an in- structor, made a thirty-five minute videotape of low impact aerobics that was shown to the classes on a regular basis. The students seemed to enjoy the diversity which gave them a change from the traditional team sports. “| like the team participation in the activities in gym, but | really enjoyed the aerobics sessions. If was something new and different for me to try, ’ commented sopho- more Mary Mills. Freshman Steve Johnson also enjoyed gym class. He remarked, 'l like the baskerball and track parts especially. I'd like to try something really different like swimming, though. That would be a nice change.” His classmate Belinda Hunt shared some of his views, bur did find a few faults with the program. ‘| could do without the tests and having to dress out everyday, bur Gerald Elder Mrs. Carolyn Chittenden provides an explanation of CPR to her health class. With the use of Resuscitation Annie, the students are able to ex- periment with CPR. gyM class is usually a lot of fun,’’ she said. Though they haven't converted all the students yet, the physical education department was well on the way fo their goal of helping students become physically active for life. They were implementing unique programs involving sports that many students would not get the chance to experience otherwise. The teachers also attremprt- ed to give Monarchs a taste of an activity that they might not have looked into on their own, but might find they enjoy. According to sophomore Jeff Jones, they are doing a fairly good job. He ob- served, “I like everything we've done in gym, but | prefer the sophomore class- es to the freshman ones.

Junior Monica Nygren stated, ‘'Practices were used to build up en- durance.

For insrance, at the Virginia Tech meet the team’s transportation en- countered a few difficulties ranging from shortage of gas to taking over nine hours to return home. Sen- ior Jeff Sheppard summed up the experience by say- ing, ‘It was such a ridiculous experience.

Determination, drive mark season Although the varsity foor- ball team suffered a dis- heartenin g loss to Denbigh in the final game of the sea- son, their determination and drive throughour the year culminated in a final surge that fell just short in the wan- ing minutes of the fourth quarter. The team finished the season with a 64 record. If was not the best they could have done, but as senior and captain Ric Richardson said, “As a ream, we were successful in achieving a winning season, and thar was exciting for all Of Us The season began on a positive note with successful preseason practices. The team expected fo continue their success in the up-com- ing games, and accordingly achieved a victory in the first against Kecoughtan, with a score of 33-25. This accomplishment kept es- reem up and gave the team a positive outlook. The following game, however, caused the team to falter in their pace when they lost to Phoebus 7-0. Kicker Mark Romero blamed the loss on the fact thar the team “'slacked off at practice after the victory against Kecoughtan. We thought we were almost in- vincible, but that’s where our captains came in. We got terrific leadership from Ric, Kwamie, Eric, and Mar- lon becouse they ler us know when fo srop playing around and get serious.” Despite this discipline, the ream continued on a see- saw of wins and losses, the most damaging of losses be- ing fo Hampidn. Wwe played well in thar game, the best we had so far, and still we lost. We could have won, and expected to, and that made ir all the more disappointing, explained Mark, However, despire the dis- appointments, Ric said he believed thar a key factor to their successes was the unfailing student body sup- port. (continued on p. 138) Foorball 137 Coach Phil Forbes and Coach Charles Nuttycomb often had to make split- second decisions. The coaching staff gave the team much support. Refreshments were vital with the hot sweats worked up during games and practices. Cory Ross feels much relief after gulping down a few mouthfuls of icy water. Winning Attitude continued “Knowing they were be- hind us gave us an incredi- ble incentive fo try our best,’” he commented. The support of the student body, however, did not lessen the blow of the de- feat to Denbigh. Although the team made a come- back in the final minutes with Fred Lassiter throwing a long bomb to Breck Hall, time ran our before an actu- al touchdown could be scored. The final score of 21- 14, though representative of a good game, was disheart- ening, and ended the sea- son despondently. The junior varsity foorball ream, in contrast, felt very positive about their season. Finishing with a 5-3 record, they had succeeded in many ways. Coach Phil Forbes felr, “We developed some young talent and from that point of view, we had a successful season.”’ “Nobody blew us away. That's the key,’’ Coach Ken Roberts said. Forbes agreed, commenting, “The games were close. But the most im- portant thing was thar the ream was very close Kknir. The players complemented each other in winning and losing situations. The team was very enthusiastic every 138 Foorball day. The first string line-up was comprised mainly of freshmen, including wide re- ceiver Chris Watson. He commented, “We could have done better, made fewer mistakes and turn- overs. We needed to take our time [with plays].’’ Orh- er outstanding players were wide receiver Tony Banks, center Mike Sax, defensive end Nate Franklin, and line backers Brian Rozos and Brad Forbes. This combina- tion led the team through their successful season. The coaches and players on both reams realized that some things could have been done differently, burt they felt satisfied with the effort and time pur into the strict regimen of practice and the determination with which the team members played their games. As Ro- mero said, ‘| have never been on a team that has wanted to win so badly.

Although the two losses to Lafayette were somewhat discourag- ing, senior Hearher Hayden commented thar “all the shots were there; they just didn't seem to want to go in.” A new addition to the varsity team, Melanie Haas was formerly junior varsity coach and was extremely pleased with the ourcome of the season. ‘The entire ream possessed talent, not ree gee ae a ae ae rere just one individual. We had five people who consistently scored throughout the sea- son, stated Coach Haas. Explained caprain Amy Bar- nett, ‘This year with Coach Haas and the team gave us an extra edge because we didn't need time to adapr to a new coach.” With a positive aftirude and roral commitment, the ream managed fo survive the overwhelming after- noon practice and still come out on top. “The miles of running, the dreaded five- minure drills, and the ‘rapid fire ‘til the lights go down’ exercise were just a few weapons Haas used, but they were worth irl” summed up Ashley Young's feelings abour the season. Similarly, the junior varsity field hockey team reaped the rewards of committ- ment and finished undefear- ed in the district. They also placed second in the Tabb Tournamenr. With only five returning players, the ream basically had to rebuild and produce a team of new faces.

The grueling battle resulted in a 2-0 loss to Hampton, the only de- feat of the season. This cru- cial game was the season's most disappointing, but only proved that a combination of bad luck and nature's fury was necessary in order to defeat the team. Coach Sam Khoshaba could not play his full starting team for this game and at- tributed the loss to this fact. The team was also forced to play on a field thar junior Scott Umphlert described as similar to a beach with “sand near the goals and water everywhere else.” Despite these limitations, the team played well. Junior Jeff Sykes commented, ‘‘My personal best was against Hampton.

This was the soccer team's year, and following the Kecoughtan game all factors began working fo- gether towards their suc- cess.

Of these players, Coach Khoshaba singled our juniors Charlie Sueddon and Scott Umphlett of the de- fense and junior Mark Ro- mero and seniors Glenn Hoaglund and Scott Vaughn of the offense as “truly our- standing. ’ Describing the team's strength, Coach Khoshaba said, “We had the best of- fense in the district.

This was their first win over Lafayette in seven years and was the high point of the season. The junior varsity team also fared well. Under the direction of Coach Bill Ditr- mar of Christopher Newport College, the team won half of its games.

As spectators Mr. and Mrs. Rex Philips noted, ‘The changes in attitude and discipline on the team were obvious.” The players commented on the strictness, but Forbes, who had coached for sever- al years, felt thar “following the rules verbatim comes naturally.”’ ‘Our team has gone through a lot of transi- tion, but | think we've adapted well.

This approval was reflected by many of the players. Donald Smith, a transfer stu- dent from Denbigh said, “I'm glad thar he played the younger kids because then they'll get experi- ence.” Rick Parnell, a guard for the team, agreed. He said, 'l think we had people that really wanted to play. We had the desire to win, bur our experience was be- low that of our opponents, so we had to work for ev- erything we got.” The jay vee team, under new coach Nathaniel Bell, had a successful season. The players, mostly ninth grad- ers, also had fo adapt to changes. Bur despite those obstacles, they succeeded in becoming one of the top teams in the district. Commenting on his rorat- ing line-up, Coach Bell said, “| don't like the saying ‘start- ing line-up.’ Switching the line-up caught the other teams off guard — made it more like a chess game.

Bur we gradually be- came the team we once were,’ reflected senior Rickie Watson. The Lady Monarchs per- formed very well in the an- nual Fort Eustis Christmas rournamenr. They beat Green Run in the first round, bur were then upset by rival Phoebus, who eventually won the tournament. The third round consisted of an easy win over Denbigh for a third place finish. “We pur a tremendous amount of effort into being the best. A lor of unneces- sary emorional problems slowed us down for a while, bur we pulled together ar the end of the season enough fo finish successful ly, ’ explained senior Lisa Van Guilder. The reorganization paid off, however. After earning a position in the “final eighr, ’ they continued on to defear First Colonial, and were then defeated by Phoebus. This loss pur them in to play as the Eastern Re- gional Runner-Up. After de- feating Cave Springs 63-61, the Lady Monarchs were defeated by Lake Braddock 44-61, making them finish third in the state. The junior varsity team also ended up this season with a very successful record of 7-1, tied with Den- bigh for first place.

Faced with many hard- ships, the varsity baseball team closed the season with six wins and twelve losses. The team had an overall ““good season,’’ con- sidering the terrible luck and bad weather which plagued the team. The jun- ior vasity team had an even better season with seven wins and nine losses.

Senior Mark May lead the varsity ream with a batting average of 016, and Brian Rozes lead the jay vee with a batting average of .471. The league leader in strike Outs was pitcher Rick Parnell. Donnie Kahler was second in the league for stolen bases. Ste- vie Thomas proved to be the best jay vee pitcher with an earned run aver- age of 2.10. Competition in the district was tough. “All of the reams in the district were fairly equal.

Then a close call in the Lafayette game caused a 3-1 loss. Ir got the team down and affected us neg- atively.’ After thar loss, the team played well, but showed a lack of consistency, losing even close games, which should have been won. “We would play well up to the last inning of a game, and then we'd make a cru- cial mistake, causing a loss. We lost seven games by one run during the last in- ning,’ explained Rick Par- nell. Although the team did not do as well as expected, there was a positive feeling from their effort. Their deci- cation and desire to win were strong enough fo pull them through the season, and, despite their losses, made them feel like it was essentially a ‘‘winning’’ sea- son.

This is a difficult, if nor impos- sible command for most stu- dents during the summer. However, for senior Ann Davis, thinlking and studying occupied three weeks of her summer. Ann was nominated to represent Menchville in the Young Women in Science program for three weeks at Mary Baldwin college. Ann's acceprance was based not only on her ex- cellent scientific achieve- ment, bur also on her gen- eral excellence as a student. Being accepted was an honorable and competitive task, considering only 33 girls were accepted our of 136 applicants in the srare of Virginia. The program was orga- nized to give the girls a taste of college life. While living on campus, the girls attend- ed classes six days a week, choosing two of the three classes offered in microbiolo- gy, field biology and organic chemistry fo study. Ann chose ro study the challeng- ing, bur interesting courses in microbiology and organic chemistry; microbiology ap- pealed to Ann the most. “lim interested in studying bio-medical engineering in college, and | feel microbiol- ogy may prove fo be an assert,’ replied Ann. Along with the four college credit hours Ann received, she felt thar the derailed lab experi- ence, involving the use of advanced scientific equip- ment, may give her an edge over the average col- lege freshman. Ann felr thar the benefits of the trip undoubredly compensated for the nega- tive aspects. “| missed my car and my friends from home, bur it just provided an incentive for me to de- votre my efforts entirely to studying, and besides, meeting 32 unique individ- uals and getting a feel for college life, while having fun ar the same time, was an opportunity | was glad to have experienced.’ Re flecting on the trip, Ann real- ized that sacrificing a portion of her summer was worth- while Sharon Cole Seniors 165 Nema Shalapur Shiraz Davis 166 Seniors Watch Closely Gerald Elder makes magic an occupation The Great Houdini, Merlin the Magician, David Copper- field, and Gerald Elder.

Holokai Hunt Takes the Lead in various school and community activities Senior Amelia Hunt participates Nor only a force to be reckoned with in the field of drama, senior Amelia Hunt was also an influential school and community leader. Amelia excelled in a variety of activities from the theater to Keyertres and the May- or’s Youth Commission. Amelia did nor relax her efforts, even during the summer. The vacation be- fore her junior year, she participated in the Summer Institute for the Arts in Dra- ma at Christopher Newport College. The experience she gained helped her to cap- ture the lead in last year’s Fine Arts Department pro- duction of A Raisin in the Sun. Hunt then won a spot at the prestigious Gover- nor’s School for the Arts this past summer at Radford Uni- versity. There, she was giv- en the opportunity to try her hand at a wide variety of styles of drama as well as many of the different per- forming arts. Because she had a solo in an excerpt from the musical Little Shop of Horrors, Amelia was given special voice les- sons. Amelia was also praised for her writing accomplish- ments. As an assignment, each student in the drama department had to write and perform his own mini- one-man show. ‘One of my instructors, Who's Q pro- fessor at the University of Ameilia Hunt discusses her role as the head of the Mayor's Youth Com- mission. She is involved with many community projects during the year. Chrisry Gianertino Nevada, Los Vegas, really liked my monologue, and she asked for copies of it to use with her college stu- dents,’’ exclaimed Amelia proudly. Besides excelling in the performing arts, Amelia kept busy with various lead- ership positions. She served as the president of the Keyettes, vice-president of the District _Keyettes, vice- president of the Internation- al Thespians, house manag- er of the auditorium, and senior representative in the orchestra. However, she felt her biggest responsibility was her position as chair- man of the Mayor's Youth Commission. This was Ame- lia's third year as a member of the commission which has served as a link be- tween the youth of the community and the local government. Their first ma- jor accomplishment of the year was fo work with the city high school principals to get dances reinstated, with conditions both groups could agree upon. Through her position on the Mayor's Youth Commis- sion, Amelia was also ap- poinred as the youth mem- ber on the Youth Services Commission. She comment- ed, ‘Because I’m involved in SO Many orher activities, it took a lot of conremplation for me to decide to do this.

Bur most students 170 Seniors planned to stay in-state. It’s too expensive to go our of state,’ Robyn Mooney ex- plained. Seniors read cata- logs and listened to admis- sions representatives to help them decide where to ap- ply. Ann Jenkins toured col- lege campuses. “If was real- ly helpful because | gor to see how students live ev- eryday, ’ she said. After deciding where to apply, the next part — the worst part — is filling out applications. “'It's so time consuming. | pur off starting for so long,” Bill Sorenson admitted. Peggy Huebner said, © I'm glad my father pushed me to get them done early. Bur it took so long because the essays were hard!” Even though guidance counselors urge students to get them done early, most find it is hard to do. Most seniors agree with Dan Mc- Kay, ‘It’s all a big, nerve- racking hassle!”’ Amanda Smith Because planning for the future is a necessity, especially for seniors that rapidly neared graduation, the ca- reer center was a big help. Offering information on a variety of colleges and universities from all over the U.S., the center gave students a chance to research in order to make the best choice when deciding where to apply.

The added expenses of sen- ior year can be frustrating. At the beginning of the year, senior picture money was paid. A variety of pack- ages and poses presented prices from $25 to $300. Soon after pictures came cries of “Class dues: the key to a successful prom.” Prom arrived all too quickly. Expensive dinner reservations were made, and dance fickets were bought and on top of thar, guys had to find tuxedos and girls needed to buy for- mals. Senior Tonya Bellinger searches her car for any lost change. This is a com- mon activity for seniors who often find themselves short of cash.

Audra was a competitive swimmer for Fort Eustis, and her devotion was apparent. Audra arose earlier than Most students fo practice an hour and a half before school, and she spenr three hours af the pool after school. Audra swam an av- erage of two fo three meets every month. This summer Audra per- formed well enough fo qualify for Junior Nationals. “| swam really well,’’ Audra stated. '| gor my best times in all events.’ Audra swam in all events except breaststroke, bur her best events were the 100m Muscles flexed, Audra dives into the water ready to go up against her competition. Her daily practices have perfected her form and in- creased her speed. Making a Splash Caraway swims way fo nationals and the 200m backstroke and the 100m and 200m freestyle. Audra's goal was to swim these four events at the Senior Nationals in April. It’s something thar | have to keep training hard for,”’ said Audra. Hard training was just something Audra had to learn to accept if she inrend- ed to meet her goals. “'| want to go fo the US. Opens this year, and hope- fully the '92 Olympics!’’ ex- claimed Audra. Audra swam in the pre- Olympics this past year, and it gave her a taste of the comperirion thar is fo come. “I'll just keep practicing hard, and if I'm lucky, it'll come around,” said Audra.

They also showed their dedication through successful fundraisers. Elana Bevacqua Planning Ahead Sophomores take financial advantage of time The sophomore class took advantage of the year and worked hard to raise money for their upcoming junior and senior years. One of the main goals of the class officers Lynette Bevac- qua (president), Randall Par- terson (vice president), Dar- cey Powers (secretary), Mandy Lee (treasurer), and Katie Fox (reporter), was To get more people involved in the class’s activities. Class Sponsors Ms. Betty Dixon and Mrs. Barbara Poplin pro- vided help and guidance along the way. Their fundraising plans be- gan early in the summer. “We scheduled two car washes at Heritage Auro Parts. The first one was rained our, bur the second 190 Sophomores one was a big success!” commented Randall Partter- son. A total of abour $540 was made off of the car wash, and according to Her- itage Auto Parts, it was the most successful car wash held there. The cookie sale was the class's first big fundraiser. Mandy Lee said, “It got more people involved and helped our our treasury greatly!’ After an assembly in the auditorium, the en- thusiasm picked up, and the final ourcome was a larger treasury for the class by $3500. One of the class's new ideas was the sale of Gob- ble Grams to celebrate Thanksgiving. Ir was an en- Joyable fundraiser rhar they f£ plan to cultivate in the fu- ture. As always, there was the drive to encourage class members to pay their dues. Truant members were re- minded of the impending “ourcast’’ state (such as be- ing excluded from their fu- ture prom) if they did not pay. The dedicated officers and sponsors cheered the sophomore class through a productive year. “'It’s time Now fo think of ring dance and prom before it’s too are, and we want to have enough money fo make them enjoyable,’’ com- mented Randall.

Here she re- lates the details of her mission to her friend, Marsha Cheek. tan Search Thomas expands horizons through space camp Have you ever looked up QF fhe stars at night, searched for the Big Dipper, and wondered what, or who, could be up there? Al- lison Thomas is one sopho- more who did exactly thar. “That's how | became inrer- ested in space and traveling to other planets,” said Allli- son. After seeing the Para- mount movie Space Camp, Allison's interest grew, and she applied to the camp in Alabama. For the last two years she has been attending a space camp for a week during the summer. The Space Camp _ pro- gram, which is very similar to school, consists of classes, lectures, and projects. Allison also participated in space simulations such as the multi- axis trainer, and NASA mis- sions. ‘My favorite part of the camp is the missions,”’ she said decidedly. “In them you simulate an actual space shuttle flight. You have to take a test rhar de- cides what position you have on a flight; | was a payload specialist. Then af- ter one day of training and practicing, the mission srarts. I's a real experience.”’ Allison looked forward to attending space camp this summer. She also planned to join the space industry. “When | ger our of school, | want to be a counselor at space camp while going to college. Ar college I’m going to study to have a career in the field of space, ’ she said. Right now, Allison warch- es the shuttle with interesr. “| think the space shuttle is NASA's best creation,’’ she said enthusiastically. “I'd love to fly in it someday. Living in an actual space sta- tion would also be exciting.” “The movie Space Camp is nothing like the ac- tual camp,’’ she continued. Allison said many things shown in the movie are not realistic. For example, there is MO Way one can get srabi- lized from a flat spin. She also considered the actual experience of the camp more exciting. “I'd recom- mend Space Camp to any- one who's interested in space. If you go, you'll have fun, concluded Allison.

Throughout his life different people have had influences on his work, bur Clarence named his uncle as one of the greatest. “'l used to just sit there and watch him, and | think that was what kept me at it.” Clarence enjoyed draw- ing at home in his spare time and even in school when he had nothing to do. Clarence was forrunare enough to have already had the chance to pur his talent to use. He drew com- ic strios for The Lion’s Roar and the logo for the ROTC Armed Drill Team. Clarence is extremely tal- ented and the facr thar he enjoys drawing is, no douor, going to be a tremendous help in his plans to take his artistic ability professional.

He has just discovered that the joy of having a car is balanced by the fi- nancial burden it represents. Lynette Bevacaqua Anticipation Countdown to license agony for class of 91 One thing the class of '91 looked forward to their sophomore year was driv- ing. ‘‘There’s only one catch,’ claimed Susan Wi- ley, “when you were born determines how late you get your license.”’ Sophomores Danny Calllis and Jeff Jones gor their |i- cense before the end of first semester. “I’m glad | took driver's education in sum- mer school. Now | don't have to wait as long to get my license, so | can give my friends rides to school,”’ said Danny. Jeff, who gots his license after passing driver's education first semester, stated, “| can’t wait until I'll be able to drive because then | don’t have to worry about my mom and dad taking me everywhere.” Sophomores Andy Wo- cik and Sharon Salony had to wait a while before they got their license. While Shar- on complained that she wouldn't even get her driv- ing permit unril July, Andy got his license at the start of summer. Srill he com- plained: “because | can’t drive, | have fo ride the bus every morning with my brother.’’ Although Andy's birthday is in December he claimed, “| won't be getting my license until sometime this summer because my dad thinks I’m too incompe- tent to drivel” However, despite most parents’ attitudes of caution, most sophomores could hardly wait for their big day to arrive. As Robin Tamburri commented, “No matter how long we have fo wait, one thing is for sure, it will be worth it!” Manoy Lee Sophomores 197 Jonathan Bennett's interest in skiing was the catalyst that created the Ski Club. Here, Jonathan discusses plans for an upcoming club trip. Lynette Bevacqua lies a Lift Student’s creation provides escape for many Skiing provided an es- cape from the winter blahs for students, and one of the people responsible was sophomore Jonathan Ben- nett. He and Jason Monk gave the boosr rhar gor the Ski Club off the ground and many people involved in a familiar sport. “Jason and | were just talking abour skiing one day, like we usually do, and then we discussed our idea with some teachers. Soon we had our first Ski Club meeting,’ stated Jonathan. Mrs. Annou Kitchen and Ms. Becky Wilcox became the sponsors of the new club, and though it was not a school sponsored activity, they had a successful turn- our with rhe ski trios planned 198 Sophomores early in the new year. Jonathan's skiing interest was nor just a new hobby. This year was his father’s 20th season in running ski trips to Wintergreen, Bryce, and Massanuttun. “He start- ed the trios before | was born so | guess you could say that | have been skiing practically all my life,” ex- plained Jonathan. The ski trips starred on January 12 and ran every Thursday un- til the end of the season. “| missed a lot of school, bur it was worth itl’ he com- mented. Last year, Jonathan raced in a NASTAR racing program for skiing and rook third place in slalom. “'It’s a lot different than recreation- al skiing in that it’s more rense.’’ He has also won a medal rhrough the Peninsu- la Ski Club for being the fast- est teenage skier in the area. Jonathan said, ‘'Skiing in comperition is very excit- ing, and | want to do better in the seasons to come.” Although skiing has kept Jonathan busy, he also finds time to play an active role in the wrestling ream and class activities. This year he won the Hugh O'Brien award for leadership and as soon as spring came and the snow on the ski slopes had melt- ed, he atrended the week long leadership seminar. “I've been pretty busy this year, but it’s been fun,”’ he stated.

Mary Ellen finds time in her busy schedule to maintain her high vocal standards. On the Move Freshman’s busy schedule becomes way of life “My schedule doesn't leave much time for my- self,’’ comments freshman Mary Ellen Lisagor. Mary El- len’s life gradually became more hecric with each week. “| receive a lot of pressure since I’m one of the only freshman in the Show Choir and my mom, Kathleen Lisagor is director of the group.” Other factors adding to her hectic schedule were the activities in Mary Ellen's life. She was the only fresh- man girl in the dance troupe. The fact that she was the youngest some- times made her feel uncom- forrable; yet, most of her closest friends were older and that helped her to cope. Mary Ellen was also a member of the gymnastic team, specializing in vault- iNg. Despite her busy extra- curricular schedule, she re- mained just as busy with her schoolwork. She was in ac- celeratred English, science, and world geography. ‘Ge- ometry is quire a challenge, bur | jusr have to work hard,’ Mary Ellen noted Trying fo maintain her A average, keep up with gymnastics and show choir, and spend time with family and friends didn’t leave much time for herself When asked if she wished things were different, she commented, “| wouldn't change a thing, because | couldn't function if | had time to spare!” Heather Wallser Steve Hammond Greg Hamrick Tiffani Hanna-Heise Nora Harden Jennifer Harrell April Harris Danielle Harris Sheryl Harris Rodney Harrison Ronald Harrison Scott Harvey Amanda Haskins Aimee Hay Brent Hayes Tina Haywood Michael Healy lan Heller Angel Henderson Corey Hendricks Robyn Hendricks Jose Hernandez Juan Hernandez Eric Heyliger Rachel Hickey Maria Hill Kim Hinnant Carina Hobbs George Holley Deon Holloman Shannon Holloman Rochelle Holmes Soong Hong Kris Howard Chandra Hubbard Victor Hundley Belinda Hundley Brian Huppert Mary Hutchinson Emilee Hydrick La In Freshmen 203 silvers Deserve Second hoo Twins accentuate their individuality through wrestling and weight lifting Identical twins?

Kevin stared, ‘ He told Us We WOUId be good at it because of our size, so we tried out and made it.” They received additional support from coaches Jim Bullock and Tommy Rea- mon. Kevin and Calvin both felt thar they trained with the besr, such as former stu- dents Lassiter and Derick Conway. Training with these two gave the twins the courage fo be assertive on a team of high school students. Although similar in appearance, Ke- vin and Calvin Silver do not share the same interests. Combining their perspectives on wrestling and weightlifting helps to make them well-rounded individuals. Calvin and Kevin did agree that twins are no dif- ferent than everyone else and share the same prob- lems.

Secret pals unmask real ‘kids’ Teachers definitely de- serve more credit than they receive. Whar orher adults go fo school each day to revert to childhood? Mench- Ville’s teachers have found Qa way fo be kids again — acquiring secret pals! Mrs. Mamye BaCote comments, “It's fun, fun, fun! | love opening up presents be- cause I’m just like a litrle child!’ Secret pals have been a | tradition carried on among | teachers in different depart- ‘| ments for two years. There is also a Newcomer: the En- glish department is partici- paring in the secret pal tradi- | tion for the first time, due to | urgings from Mrs. Page Rob- erts. Having a secret pal es- sentially means receiving a 'Esmall gift on a birthday, holi- day, or any time when a morale boost is needed. Mrs. Paula Alford explains, “Secret pals make special days even more special.’’ Secret pals nor only lift teachers’ spirits during the year, bur also motivate teachers who look forward to a disclosing revelation at the end of the year. At a dinner party, teachers dis- cover the identity of their secret pal and reflect on the fun had during the year. As Mrs. Roberts comments, “Secret pals re-emphasize the togetherness of the de- partment in a fun way, and for that reason, | hope they're here fo stay.” Sharon Cole Mrs.Elaine Clevenson:School Nurse.

Faculty 216 ! | In M The deaths of two well accomplished teachers meant a grear loss to the entire Menchville family. Mrs. Nancy Livesay and Mr. Vernon Pipkin were two outstanding individuals and will always be remembered as such. Their contrioutions as teachers, as well as pex ple, have given inspiratic to many students as proc that excellence can be c tained through dedicatio and hard work. Kindness and effort con peted for dominance in Mr Livesay’s life. Remembere of ee 4) H] ‘i ‘ | for her generosity, Mrs. Live- say gave her attention and interest to all of her students. She was effective with all ability levels and personally strived for each student's understanding. Mrs. Live- say's sense of humor and caring manner made math- emoriam emarics easier fo vunder- stand by making if more personal. Mrs. Page Roberts feels that Mrs. Livesay’s wit brought happiness to every- one, and rhar she will be remembered for her love of life, friends, and teaching. Directing the Show Choir for nine years, Mr. Pipkin de- veloped close relationships with teachers and his stu- dents, using music as a fool. Teaching enabled Mr. Pipkin to share his personal love for music with others. Students recognized not only his de- votion as a teacher bur also as a friend. Carl Bennett commented, ‘He was my best friend. He supported me in everything | did and had the confidence in me thar | sometimes didn't have in myself.’’ Approaching his job enthusiastically and en- ergetically, Mr. Pipkin defi- nitely established a positive name for himself and our school thar will always be remembered. Mrs. Livesay and Mr. Pip- kin greatly influenced the lives of everyone they knew, and their contribu- tions to the students they taught will never be forgot- ten. Reflecting back, people will be reminded of Mrs. Li- vesay and Mr. Pipkin, as they greatly attribured to our excellence. Sharon Cole Mrs.Jean Stevens:Teacher:Basic Math, Aigebra Trigono- metry.
