Their spirit was dynamic and invigorating. In the classrooms, informality stimulated creativeness. Students were individuals; not statistics. Teachers were friends. The lively pace absorbed the entire student body. Its smallness created a warm and friendly atmosphere. ‘66 was a year charged with drive and vigor. Modernized science courses and additional. classes enhanced the individual departments. Echoes of “We're the Champs,” rang onto the football field and resounded in the gym. Screaming at pep rallies, girating to the. latest dances, and cramming for those winter and spring exams— each student became a vital part of MHS. Each student was a TROJAN— proud of his school and its achievements. Proud of MHS, as he watched it Going Places. Going Places In Academics’ In Activities In Classes In Advertisements In Clubs In the Directory In Athletics In the Index Mr. Chenery Adds Zip to Activities In ‘66, as in the past four years, Mr. Alan Chenery, vice-principal, has helped to keep MHS moving in today’s jet-age pace. Whether supervising bus schedules, organizing students’ transportation to foot- ball and basketball games, or just helping wherever needed, he was always in the midst of school activities. There was no student at school who did not recognize Mr. Chenery’s hearty laugh and booming voice. He was always ready to share a joke or to help a dis- heartened student. Through his drive and dedication to MHS, he has gained the deepest admiration and respect from all his students. With this same enthusiasm and drive, he has helped to keep MHS Going Places. Therefore, the student body wishes to Ae a say “thank you” with this 1966 edition of enim the Trojan. Keeping the clock, Mr. Chenery supported the Trojans at all the games. ‘ t | : e. ee ie Left: “Swinging” to the tune at the juniors’ sock hop, Mr. Cheney‘s zeal and drive never relented. The entire student body agrees that he is the greatest. Center: Organizing is a special knack of Mr. Chenery’s. Every spring for the past four years, he has devoted his time and energy in helping the juniors decorate for their prom. Right: Leaving no stone unturned, Mr. Chenery has also directed the senior play for the past four years. With his instruction and assistance, he has molded each cast into a group of successful players. Going Places In Academics Continual changes erupted in ‘66. Modernized biology, chemistry, and science courses challenged the student to think and reason independently. Establishing advanced math and new senior English classes, MHS recognized colleges’ increasing demand for higher standards of academic development. Students realized that college acceptances would result only from serious reflections. In a congenial atmosphere, teachers strove to help each student. Whether instructing, discussing, or listening, the teacher was always ready to lend a hand. E. CAR In addition to handling many weighty decisions, a principal must handle a countless number of small jobs. Mr. Harry Carter busily signs notes, resets the clock, and fixes a picture for framing. Midlothian Surges Forward In ’66 Moving ever forward, MHS marked ‘66 as a year of important improvements in updating and expanding the curriculum. The science department featured new text- books. The school added new advanced math, advanced senior English, and third year French classes. After nervously experiencing an evaluation in ‘65, MHS joyously received the news that it had been accredited in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. Mr. Harry Carter, in his fourth year at MHS, handled the weighty decisions a principal encounters. Mr. Alan Chenery, assistant principal, tackled the job of supervision of the elementary grades. Her desk piled high with students’ records, college boards, and a variety of tests, Mrs. Jones guided the 460 students as to ineir immediate and future needs. Mrs. Frady and her office helpers manned the secre- tarial end of the office’s work—sorting mail, typing let- ters, scheduling, and preparing absentee ists. Mr. Alan Chenery, vice-principal, busily directs many elementary as well as high school activities. a RO he eS Pe Tee TY TS nS AA nl hl a tne nae “Are these to be filed?’’ office helper Darlene Vance asks Mrs. Alease Frady, secretary to Mr. Carter. Sort—Type—Duplicate—Deliver. These are the steps taken each morning by Linda Walton in preparing the absentee list for each teacher. Mrs. Dorothy Jones, the guidance counselor, reaches for a college manual from the “library of manuals’ just outside her office. é = g a . F i Students Initiate Heighten Interest in Armed with bottles, a rubber snake, and a copy of Mad maga- zine, Mike Guss baffles the senior English class when the radio he has assembled actually plays. Hidden under Mike’s apron is a tiny transistor radio. Mrs. Lux, pointing to a portrait of Shakespeare, introduces his life and works to a group of inquisitive eighth graders. “Bonjour, Ma Mere!’ greets Nancy Gallagher while Linda Parsons and Donald Glasser act out their parts in a French skit. Skits and Discussions to English Classes Students, beginning their study of literature in the eighth grade, were introduced to the world of Shakespeare. Mod- els of the Globe Theater and a puppet show of “Romeo and Juliet” were a few of their undertakings. Reading David Copperfield for the first time, freshmen discussed Dicken’s style and his method of writing. Among other things, they drew sketches and presented plays to add interest to the class. In the tenth grade students pried deeper into the world of Shakespeare by reading “Julius Caesar.” As they tackled grammar, the sophomores were presented the rules of parliamentary procedure. Studying American literature, the juniors encountered the philosophy of Thoreau and began an intensive study of poetry analyzing Poe’s “Annabel Lee” and “The Raven.” With the stress on creative writing and public speaking, our school added this year an advanced senior English class. Again Shakespeare was presented as seniors tackled “Macbeth” and “As You Like It.” Those students who took a foreign language took pride in mastering a foreign tongue. Beginning in the ninth grade, foreign languages were offered to students. Pupils in all of these classes studied basic grammar, advancing to translations, and finally independent reading.

Upon bravely peering into the room, students saw sophomore history students busily forming a gigantic map from papier mache. Despite the fumes of baking powder in its ingredients, the history students mixed, molded, and painted the paper mache into a replica of the battlefield of World War Il.

Creative thinking was encouraged in the government courses, as students not only learned more about their government but prepared for future college work. 5 Mae EV AY Edna Rolfe carefully sews another star on “Old Glory” which is her history project. Mrs. Sandra Helsel’s eighth grade history class worked diligently making various projects throughout the year. “Here’s Sudan!” exclaims Bobby Harper in front of Mr. Hester’s geography class. Through their study of foreign peoples and their customs, Mr. William Hes- ter’s students could better understand modern inter- national affairs and developments. Math Department Expands in ’66 Wielding graph paper, compasses, rulers, protractors, and reams of paper, students journeyed to various math classes. The eighth graders touched upon the generals of math, gaining a basic foundation for future years in the field of mathematics. Discovering polynomials, Algebra | students tackled with the slope of a line and determinants. Geometry students, both plain and solid, were faced with proving theorems and constructing intricate geomet- ric figures. With solid prisms, cones, pyramids, and spheres, they could better visualize difficult problems. Those taking trigonometry advanced to solving trian- gles using sine, cosine and tangent, while other basics included learning how to recognize functions and to in- terpolate. The ‘66 math department offered a.new course—ad- vanced math. Students investigated the theories of math functions and were introduced to matrix algebra. MRS. JEAN ELLIS MR.

Ping-pong Sparks Enthusiasm From Students A new sports activity joined the physical education program at school—ping pong. During physical education periods stu- dents determinedly battled one another over the nets. Students in the physical education class- es played basketball, performed tumbling feats, and bounded daringly on the tram- poline. In the spring, the classes enjoyed baseball, softball, and track. With classroom instruction, Mrs. Ash- craft taught the 8th and 9th grade stu- dents the first aid principles two days a week. The sophomore course included driver's education in the classroom and behind the wheel. Enjoying a new sport at school, Debbie Wood battles an opponent in a fast game of ping pong. “This must be easier said than done!’ exclaims Paula Johnson as she vainly attempts to jack up a car for driver’s education class.

New “Tools’”’ Propel Students into Business World Loud, frustrated sighs accompanied the tapping of the typewriters heard in the business department. Students taking typing composed and typed letters, manvu- scripts, envelopes; and took timings. Neat- ness, which sometimes seemed virtually impossible, was foremost. For some, shorthand proved as harrow- ing as typing. These students took dic- tation for speed and accuracy. Also, there were tests on brief forms, the “alphabet’’ of shorthand. In its second year at MHS, personal typ- ing aided those students headed for col- lege. Seniors who planned to seek employ- Addition—Subtraction—Multiplication—Division!

New Science Courses Begin “How is the earth formed?” queries a puzzled eighth grader. Aided by a new textbook, MODERN PHYSICAL SCIENCE, the student’s question was answered. Even through they were studying earth science, the course also touched upon chemistry and physics. The new book called for many demonstrations which proved enlighten- ing and helpful to the students. Freshmen, concentrated upon several general fields— earth science, biology and chemistry. Constructing mole- cules, aided the student in visualizing abstract terms. “You don’t expect me to touch that frog, do you?” a frantic girl exclaims. Miss Easterling mischievously nods her head in the affirmative. In biology all students were expected to participate. Gazing at slides under the microscope and taking notes on the life cycle of a jelly fish were a few of the many things that took place in class. Chemistry experienced the biggest change over this year. With the new book, CHEMISTRY—AN EXPERIMEN- TAL SCIENCE, students no longer had to memorize the chemical laws as dull facts. They performed experi- ments to prove these laws themselves. Requiring much thought and thorough concen tration, the new course was a challenge to all its students. Instead of a mere acceptance of facts, physics students questioned the “why” of such phenomenons as “the sun’s rising,” the “tides,” and the “wind.” Freshmen busily study earth science and biology in their science course. After constructing a styrefoam molecule, Susan Smith quiz- zically examines its complex structure. With a change over in the chemistry course this year, students perform more experiments.

CONSTANCE PHILLIPS Art, English 8 Creativity Expresses Itself in Many Forms of Media Donning old shirts emblazoned with every color of paint imaginable, many of Midlothian’s students labored creatively in the art classes. The Art II class, added to the curriculum this year, enabled students to delve further into the world of art. Experimenting with charcoal, pencil, water colors, and pastels, the students gradually progressed to working with oils. Other media they dealt in ranged from molding plaster of Paris to creating new products, such as new tooth powders, along with plaster of Paris teeth. Strik- ing creations of the Christmas spirit were displayed in hall showcases. More practical forms of art beckoned to the boys in the industrial arts classes. In shop saws buzzed and sparks flew as wood was cut and planed. While newer students made knife holders and nut bowls, the experienced ones tackled coffee tables and book racks. Perched upon high wooden stools, the mechanical drawing classes learned the importance of accuracy. As they gained familiarity, the architectural students pro- gressed to the difficult task of mastering detailed house plans. MRS. RUTH TILMAN Librarian Red Cross MRS. JO GATES Home Ec., FHA Varied Activities Stimulate Students’ Interests “Hey! Look at this car!’ exclaimed an astonished eighth grader. The latest Hot Rod magazine had appeared in the library. From the beginning to the end of the school day, the library buzzed with activities. Students selected their favorite books, studied for an approaching test, or did research for term papers. Whatever their need, the library always provided its assistance. Swept by waves of enthusiasm, the girls who took home- making studied child care, cooking, sewing, flower ar- ranging, home management, budget planning, and furni- ture styles In the fall the senior, second, third, and fourth year classes of home ec. visited the David M. Lea furni- ture factory. Here they saw all types of furniture being made, from its first to its last stages. A special course for seniors involved examining the problems of marriage. Slowly and carefully, Betty Jo Hicks pins lining to a skirt that is in its primary stages. This year, for the first time, the home ec. department offered sewing to the eighth graders. Flower arrangement is a different and interesting aspect of homemaking. Pam Williams, who drew the illustrations on the board, points out how different arrangements can be made. Informal practice sessions, led by Miss Bradley, joined here by Kathy Boykin, Carolyn Henshaw, Kathy Ward, and Becky Dietrich, were a must for the talent show, in which many of the girls participated. Picture Not Available MISS CAROLE BRADLEY Chorus, Trojan Players MR. JOHN HA MILTON Band Practicing ‘’Climb Every Mountain,” Jackie Hart perfects her part for the regular Christmas program. Intensive Practicing Accompanies Busy Schedule Students going to lunch were often ac- companied by strains of music floating from the bandroom. Under the direction of Mr. Hamilton, new at MHS, the band determinedly practiced throughout the year. Their effort was climaxed in the spring when MHS won a superior rating in the band festival held at Varina High School. Several new and varied instruments— the oboe, french horn, and piccolo—com- plemented the brass and woodwind sec- tions. Practice sessions were also in order for the chorus. These sessions proved reward- ing when the chorus presented a Christ- mas program for the school and _partic- ipated in a Spring Festival at Manchester High School. Sponsoring a talent show, in which many of the members were contest- ants, was a main attraction of the chorus’s year. Wearing granny gowns and singing a medley of songs, the girls opened the Drama Club’s production of “Meet Me In St. Louis.” Staffs Help to Keep MHS Running Efficiently Keeping on a bus schedule can often be trying.

Old friendships were renewed and new friendships began. From September to June, MHS’ 460 students vibrated a warm and understanding spirit. Friendly relationships between upper and underclassmen thrived in a relaxed atmosphere. In the classrooms, students exhibited a seriousness of purpose. Armed with books, paper, and rulers, they tackled the year’s new challenges. Week ends no longer became glorious havens from homework. The emphasis was on learning. The students’ pursuit of excellence was relentless. HME | YAR PP - + ee f 21 22 In the new advanced math course, Dubby Combs finds an introduction to college-level work.

This was their year to graduate and sometimes they just couldn't believe it! The year was filled with many plans. “What college do | want to attend?” many students asked. Catalogues were consulted and applications were filled. Then came the agonizing ordeal of waiting for the replies. Others busily prepared for employment upon graduation. Being seniors, the class had certain recognized privi- leges such as going to lunch five minutes before the rest of the student body and being able to sit in the front rows of the auditorium. As their first class project, the seniors gave the Christ mas dance. The old gym was transformed into a marvelous AN Fran Watkins closely examines Pat Marrin’s DAR pin.

Government, a subject required for all seniors, had tangible rewards in May. Traveling to Washington, D.C., the classes visited the Capitol, the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, and Arlington Cemetery. As a special treat, Congressman David Satterfield IIl met and talked to the classes. As June approached, a whirlwind of graduation activi- ties appeared. Invitations, cards, caps and gowns had to be ordered. Finally June 10 arrived—the culmination of 12 years of schooling. With mixed emotions, seniors re- ceived their diplomas, becoming alumni of MHS. een BOP i : j George Henshaw aims for 2 of the 1,250 points he scored in his high school career—breaking all records at MHS. Some of his outstanding achievements were: All District I-B Capital—’64, ‘65; All District in Group II—’66. George also excelled in football where he earned the following awards: All District I-B Capital—’63, ‘65; All District Il Group I1—’65. Henshaw was outstanding as a 3-year man in baseball, a 2-year man in track, and a 4-year man in basketball and football.

Juniors’ Year Explodes With Activities Myriads of tests floated before the juniors’ eyes— PSAT's, SAT’s, NMSQT’s and special math and achievement exams. College loomed ahead for many. The pressures in today’s world demanded preparations and decisions from all students. Testing was only one phase of the juniors’ year. On November 22, the school rocked to the music of three bands in the cafeteria. “The Round Robin” dance netted handsome profits and went toward the juniors’ dream— the prom. With a flurry of excitement and squeals of delight, the class received their rings. Santa brought many of the rings as they arrived at Christmas time. The ‘66 junior class was the first one ever to receive their rings this early. On the playing field, juniors also exhibited their skill. Wayne Isbell received the most improved football player award for his outstanding performance during the tour- nament games. Ben Heath was named to the All District team. Also, at the sports banquet, Dickie Baltimore was presented a trophy for being ‘66’s most valuable player in baseball. In addition, special presentations went to junior, Dave Schoettinger, who took top honors in the National Current Events Quiz, in which all history classes participated. Be- cause of her tremendous contribution to the FHA, Becky Hall received the Crisco Award—the first time MHS has been given this award. The crowning event of the year was the prom. Students busily cut out Chinese symbols and hung crepe paper from the gym ceiling. On the magic night, May 14, the juniors grinned proudly amid the OOHS' and AAHS ' of awestruck parents and seniors. “Shangri La” was a tre- mendous success. What is this—a phone?! Just installed at MHS in the fall, the public phone came in very handy, especially during a free period. Wayne Isbell appreciates its value as he takes time to make a last minute date. 3] ay “Want to read a good book?” questions SCA treasurer Randy Welton.

They grew upward and. outward, physically, socially, and morally. Their pattern in school was just beginning to sef. Habits and attitudes were formed, but were subject to change. The restless spirit of going on to better things gripped the sophomores. Varsity teams and clubs presented an un- charted ocean of new experience and pleasure. Classes presented a challenge to their searching minds. As the choice of courses widened, their choice of electives shaped their future careers. Those sophomores taking bi- ology noticed a new approach to the course called ‘Meet the Challenge.” The new course emphasized thinking and relating. With the District Forensics Meet being held at MHS for the third year, many sophomores seized the opportunity for self expression. Both Gale King and Nancy Gallagher, respectively, won second place for Boys’ and Girls’ Public Speaking. Sandra Ward and Keith Simmons jokingly escape on- to the roof from autograph seekers. They were named the winners of the popularity contest when they collected the most money for the Bleacher Carnival.

Suddenly they realized that they were in a new educa- tional dimension. Competition was fierce. The warm shell of grammar school had been abandoned. Basic classes in the eighth grade were English, history, math, science, and physical education. The first application of pressure from college came when students decided whether or not they wanted to take a college preparatory course. Though they were at the bottom of the heap, educational- ly and socially, the eighth graders enjoyed high school’s active pace. They were MHS’s largest class with 125 students.

Action—reaction were the results. The newspaper won first place in Lexington at the Southern Interscholastic Press Association. Through rigid practice and toil, the band earned a superior rating in the annual band festival held at Varina High School. The SCA initiated a sweeping change when it established and managed MHS’ first book store. Proudest of all was the yearbook staff which won the coveted trophy from SIPA and the Virginia High School League competition. Every organization was bursting with activities in ‘66. The students’ personal contributions were great. Their inner satisfaction was greater. 56 me cone myn © ieee meses nia TLE Seren Top: Toting their Melto Mints are class presidents and club repre- sentatives: P. Salmon, B. Hall, K. Simmons, T.

MHS Welcomes New Bookstore In 1965 the Student Cooperative Association broadened its responsibilities and included new activities. In August, the SCA presented an orientation program that introduced the school’s grounds and clubs to the new students. Beginning in the fall the SCA took over the task of making announcements over the P.A. system. “May | have your attention, please,” greeted students in home- room each morning as they heard Tom Caffrey and Jack Cosby read announcements for the day. During October, the SCA directed Homecoming actiivties, including the princess talent show and the election for Queen and Maid of Honor. In December, the SCA, with faculty support, initiated a candy sale to raise money for the various clubs and the general fund. Christmas spirit spread throughout the school as the SCA sponsored a contest in which the students gaily dec- orated their homeroom doors. In the Christmas assembly, homeroom 10B received the first-place award. A new sight at Midlothian was the SCA paperback book- store. The selection of paperbacks ranged from Peanuts to Shakespeare.

Trekking all over Richmond, the ambitious staff delivered their sales talks to any prospective advertiser. Next the yearbook staff members began planning their pages and writing copy. Being constantly reminded by their editor that deadlines were approaching or that pic- tures must be taken, the staff frantically stirred into action. In November, the yearbook and newspaper staffs pre- sented a skit, ‘Publications A-Go-Go,” to launch Publica- tions Week. Opening the show was the NBC peacock fol- lowed by the staffs’ singing and swinging to the music of the “Emports.” The show progressed, complete with fake commercials, and ended in the typical ‘Shindig’-show fashion complete with “Go-Go girls, bellowing ‘Shout- publications!” The subscription drive occurred throughout the week and ended with a dance at the American Legion Post. . A junior staff, selected in January, helped the seniors as deadlines came in sight.

The scoop was a well-planned April Fool’s joke. This was but one of the unique features that heightened the students’ interest in the Trumpet. During the Group II District Il basket- ball tournament, the newspaper sold a special program edition, listing each team’s outstanding characteristics. In November the Trojan Trumpet staff, in conjunction with the staff of the Trojan, staged a subscription drive highlighted by an original production entitled ‘Publica- tions a Go-Go.” With its lively six-page format, and its broad coverage of school activities, the Jeb Paarfus, Mike Boykin, Tom Caffrey, Bill Drake, and Jack Cosby—reporters Trojan Trumpet won a first place award and columnists—watch intently as Linda Parsons, art editor, stencils in a column at Southern Interscholastic Press Associa- habe tion in Lexington. tl a 60 aquithiiet Hit uit == Homecoming aM os ' i i ‘ i « nae Se = 4 tit ' ' : Carolyn Dance, news editor, and Luther Holloman, sports editor, tackle the tedious job of pasting up their pages. “Look at this mistake,’ points out Sandra Morris, feature editor.

Fourteen strong, these students worked during their study halls helping the li- brarian, Mrs. Ruth Tilman, with the end- less tasks which needed to be done. With the addition of a hand previewer, earphone attachments for the phono- graphs, and an increased number of film strips and records, the librarians were called upon to perform still other jobs. They were always ready to take on new responsibilities and to help other students. “Look at all those fines!’ exclaims librarians Debbie Prilliaman and Sharon Wood.

Pep Club’s Projects Brighten ’66 “Hey, give me some blue crepe paper for these goal posts!” yelled an indus- trious sophomore. “Who's going to volun- teer to decorate our float?’ questioned Pam Salmon, president of the Pep Club. The week of Homecoming was a busy one indeed. Pep banners decorated the school’s halls, and every student proudly donned his “Stomp Rebels” ribbon, sold by the Pep Club. The annual “powder puff” football game between the Pep Club and the cheerleaders created a flurry of. excite- ment. For the 3rd consecutive year the energetic Pep Club members tasted de- feat. Other activities during Homecoming in- cluded decorating the princesses’ float and presenting yellow chrysanthemums to the Homecoming princesses. During basketball season, the Pep Club sold booster badges. Another money-mak- ing project involved the sale of gaily dec- orated calendar towels. 3 3 Wes Officers—Nora Galvin, vice-president; Pam Salmon, president; Cheri Hoke, treasurer; and Janice Cosner, secretary; decide when to distribute their new project—calendar towels.

Befriend- ed by all the FHAers, the “little sister’ went to FHA rallies in Richmond with the club, but the biggest thrill for her occurred when she rode on: the FHA float in the Home- coming Parade. The “big sisters” also presented her with birthday presents and a party. Another important project was selecting MHS’‘s Future Homemaker of America. In March, senior Pam Williams, who has taken homemaking for four years, joyfully ac- cepted this title. Officers of the FHA were: Becky Hall, president; Pam Webb, vice-president; Pam Williams, secretary; and Linda Hall, treasurer. FHA Adopts ‘“‘Little Sister’’ 65 Thirsty Students Welcome Gift “| think I’d better lie down,” Dave Schoettinger moaned on stage, as the av- dience burst into laughter. In the Red Cross skit, “Ten Penny Tragedy,” Dave played the part of a school principal. From the proceeds of the skit and the an- nual Red Cross-Faculty basketball game, the club purchased a water cooler, which was installed in the main hall. The cooler became a welcome haven as thirsty stu- dents sought relief from the scorching weather. Earlier in the year, the Red Cross filled Christmas stockings, chocking them with toothbrushes, combs, gum, raisins, and other small useful items. They were taken to McGuire Veterans Hospital. Arriving at the hospital, members strung Christ- mas lights in the halls and decorated a gi- gantic tree which towered majestically in the patients’ cafeteria. In the spring, the annual Red Cross art show brought strong participation from MHS. Three proud students had their draw- ings chosen to be sent over-seas in the exchange program. eg Filling Christmas stockings for the Red Cross are officers Billy Jenkins, vice-president; Martha Rice, president; Debbie Riggs, secretary; and Dave Schoettinger, treasurer.

Doing everything from pushing pennies on the floor with their noses to washing cars, the captive Betas performed numerous feats for their masters. With Mr. Chenery as auctioneer, the club netted $60, which was used to purchase gold cords for senior Betas to wear at graduation. In March nine new members were tapped into the club. While old Betas lit candles for the new, eight regular club members gave brief summaries of the characteristics and qualities a Beta should possess. During the year, the members made the decision to change the club's affiliation to the National Honor Society, an organization which has the same membership require- ments but has wider recognition among high schools. To the delight of all the students, the new organization will be the Virginia A. Justis Chapter, recognizing the devo- tion and dedication of Mrs. Justis to MHS. N. Galvin, P. Salmon, S. Woodcock.

Romantic 1900’s Revisits MHS in ‘“‘Meet Me In St. Louis’’ On the night of March 27, the mellow lights in the auditorium cast forth a golden glow. Girls dressed in long costumes and Victorian hairdos appeared and ushered the audience to their seats. As the curtains opened, the nostalgic era of the 1900's sprang vividly to life. The drama club’s play “Meet Me In St. Louis” had begun. Twice during the year, the Trojan Players presented plays before the student body. In January, they staged “A Thing of Beauty,” a one-act production whose plot centered around a gnarled piece of driftwood. This production earned a merit rating in the play festival held at Matoaca. The day before the presen- tation of “Meet Me In St. Louis,’” a sneak preview was given at an assembly. At Homecoming, The Drama Club’s float ‘Midlothian Melo- drama” won the first prize of $5. As a reward for a hardworking year, the Trojan Players treated themselves to a picnic in May. Ginger Cavenaugh masterfully dabs ‘pancake’ on Anna Dietrich’s face for the presentation of “Meet Me In St. Louis.” Diane Ferguson (the cook) rolls her eyes in amazement while Mary Anne Vincent (Rose Smith) gasps at the unexpected news that the family will have to leave St. Louis before the World’s Fair arrives. The Drama Club’s rollicking play ‘“Meet Me In St. Louis,” made a tremendous hit on opening night. 69 1966 Majorettes—Gaye Bourne, Vicki Doug- las, Karen Canada, and Cynthia Whitaker. i MIDLOTHIA 4 HIGH SCHOOL BAN D 1966 Coior Guard—Front: Gayle King, Jeri Caven.

Band Achieves First Superior Rating in MHS History Off to another game! The MHS band was forever on the move. During football season, they added color to the games while they kept the pulsating beat of vic- tory alive. At the away games, the band actively supported their team. Representing MH S well, they marched in the Thalhimer’s Christmas parade and the Retail Merchant's parade. At the Spring Festival, held at Varina High School, the band battled stiff com- petition to earn a superior rating—the first in the history of MHS. Ending the season, they presented their Spring Concert, highlighted by excerpts from “The Sound of Music.” The majorettes and color guard added zip to the band’s performance as they marched at parades and football games. With the lights dimmed at half-time dur- ing several football games, the majorettes twirled fire batons to the enjoyment of the crowd. Preceded by majorettes Vicki Douglas and Karen Can- ada, the MHS band, led by Mike Boykin, drum major, exhibits its talent in the Homecoming Parade. 7| 72 Entertaining at the spring concert are Chorus members—Front row: B.

Sponsoring a talent show in April, in which many chorus members participa- ted, the acts ranged from original bal- lads to selections from musical scores. In May the MHS chorus presented a spring concert before the PTA and the student body. The Girls’ ensemble, wear- ing pastel formals, sang a variety of num- bers including “Michael Row the Boat Ashore” and Bach’s “To Spring.” As their last activity, they sang at Bac- calaureate and Graduation exercises.

School spirit rocked MHS, as it captured the Group Il, District Il football championship. The student body went wild when they watched their Trojans clinch the District Il basketball tournament, which sent them to the State finals at Charlottesville. The cindermen literally burned up the track as they smashed school records and posted the best performance in the team’s history. Not to be shut out, the baseball team, as did the girls’ basketball team, showed their best record in years. 73 Tommy Kelly crushes a Collegiate halfback as Greg Powers closes in to assist on the tackle. Trojans Capture District 11 Championship 74 The MHS football team trained long and hard in its quest for the Group II District Il championship. Armed with an experienced team, the Trojans advanced to the district championship with a perfect 6-0 district record. Traveling to the Atlantic Ocean for their first game, the Trojans tackled Va. Beach, losing by 18-8 but later claimed victory due to a forfeit. In another non-district game, Group I-A Lee-Davis was victorious over the Trojans. Several Trojan players received honors for their indi- vidual performances. Seniors Mike Watkins, Mike Carroll, Dickie Douglas, and George Henshaw won spots on the All-District team. Henshaw also was named to the first squad on the All-State team and received honorable men- tion for the High School All-American team. With a change in districts the Midlothian team emerged as the District Il powerhouse, claiming an overall record of nine victories against one defeat. The 1965 Trojan de- fensive unit held ten opponents to a total of only seventy points, laying claim to the best season in the history of the school. The Trojans recorded a winning season for the third consecutive year. As an All-District selection, Mike Watkins provides a boost to team spirit.

Gridders Suffer Disappointing Season Tackling all opposition at home in 1965, the wiry J.V. football team battled to post a 1-5-1 record. Pitted against Colonial Heights in the season opener, MHS tallied a 6-6 score as Larry Wallace crashed across the goal line for the tieing touchdown. With a 12-0 decision, the Trojans turned back the Monarchs from Meadowbrook. Everett Whitlock and Larry Wallace com- bined to score touchdowns. The remaining season proved to be a series of slow starts and drawn out defeats. The young grid- ders, although lacking in size and expe- rience, possessed a strong, determined backfield. Stretching to haul in a pass, Kevin Kelly scoops up the ball as a Hopewell defender charges ahead for a tackle. 78 Spirit and Teamwork Result in Dynamic Season The 1965-66 Trojan basketball team was an early sea- son choice to dominate Group II District Il action. The T rojan cagers, facing no stiff competition, combined to post an overall record of 17 wins against only 3 defeats for the best season in the past four years. Highlighting the Trojan’s triumphant season was the Group II District Il basketball tournament held at MHS. The tourney, held at MHS for the first time, was greeted enthusiastically by the student body. Selling popcorn, drinks, tickets, and programs the exuberant students sup- ported “their Champs” to the utmost. In the first two tournament games, the Trojans encountered little opposi- tion from William Monroe and Powhatan. Madison, who had slipped by MHS in the North-South playoffs, met a determined Trojan effort in the last game. Winning this game, the Trojans were given a berth in the state tourna- ment at Charlottesville, where they were overpowered by Turner Ashby of Harrisonburg. Seniors George Henshaw and Mike Watkins won posi- tions on the All-District team; while Larry Barthurst, Hen- shaw, and Watkins were named to the All-Tournament team. Struggling to gain possession of the ball, Mike Watkins tangles with a Collegiate player during the final nerve-racking moments of the game. Aiming for the goal, Larry Barthurst launches a jump shot against Madison as Mike Watkins closes in for a rebound. 79 Ben Heath converts a fast-break into a score despite a strong defensive effort by Collegiate’s Steve Drake. beginning the second half A straining Mike Watkins controls the tip-off in the state tournament at Charlottesville.

Hard work and long practices paid off from the start of the season as the “baby cagers” stomped Richmond Catholic by a score of 48-20. John Nicholls and Kevin Kelly led the scoring with 9 and 8 points respectively. The rest of the season was a mixture of hard fought defeats and easy victories. In their closest game of the season, the J.V.‘s were beaten by Matoaca by only 1 point after the Trojans staged a tre- mendous comeback. Leading scorers for the 1965-66 season were John Nicholls and Everett Whitlock. Kevin Kelly excelled at defense for the Trojans with numerous steals and _ inter- ceptions.

Thinclads Smash School Records; Soar to District Championship Completing their most successful year in the history of track at MHS, the thinclads tallied a searing 4-1 record. Overpowered only by Collegiate, the Trojans downed Cum- berland, Louisa, Lee Davis, and Matoaca in Group II, District Il competition. During the season, records were smashed in the mile (Watkins, 4 min. 53.8 sec.), mile relay (Isbell, Whitlock, Barthurst, Watkins—3 min. 43.6 sec.), 100-yd. dash (Dolan, 10.4 sec.), 220 (Dolan, 22.4 sec.), broad jump (Dolan, 21'S ), pole vault (Simmons, 10’9”), high hurdles (Mc- Gee, 16.6 sec.), 880 relay (Whitlock, Barthurst, Short and Dolan—1 min. 37 sec.), low hurdles (Dolan 21.5 sec.), and discus (Newcomb, 140’3”). The Trojans, showing great form, clinched the District Il meet, becoming District champions. Participating in the county meet, they came in second to District | Huguenot.

Only three more laps to go,” sighed a weary basketball player last September. Every day the girls’ team jogged determinedly around the gym, conditioning muscles and gaining stamina. Aided by continual practicing and with seven veteran members, the Lady Trojans chalked up an impressive 8-2 record. The cagers tallied a total of 294 points to complete their best season in five years. Triumphant over whipping their arch-rival Manchester, the girls lost only to Hugue- not and Matoaca. Throughout the season the Lady Trojans displayed an exceptional defense, often holding the opposition to 5 points a quarter. The girls, who suffered from lack of height, learned to score on the opposing teams’ mistakes. Kathy Grady, a senior forward, was the second highest Scorer averaging 7.3 points a game. Becky Hall, co-cap- tain, sparked the team with her rebounding and shooting and was awarded a trophy for most valuable player. Pitted against Huguenot, Bonnie Grady hurriedly attempts to snatch a rebound. 87 88 The 1965-66 J.V.

Junior Varsity Girls Gain Valuable Experience Every afternoon the enthusiastic J.V. squad practiced with the Varsity—shooting lay-ups, taking foul shots, and running laps. The team played only six games but was required to attend all home varsity games. The girls showed a marked improvement over previous J.V. teams by compiling a 3-3 record. Co-captain Lois Holder was the team’s highest scorer, averaging six points a game. Captain Betty Jo Hicks was a stand-out as a guard for the squad. The J.V. Girls worked well as a team and played their best. throughout the season. Bowlers Fail to Retain Championship Every Thursday afternoon students hopped into their cars and headed to the Plaza Bowl. These students, members of the MHS Bowling Team, competed against teams from other Chesterfield County schools. The Midlothian bowlers consisted of five separate teams with five students on each team. The Zilches (Bruce Graw- burg, Dwayne Cundiff, Jack Cosby, Clarke Jones, and Graham Rountree) were the outstanding bowlers. Although all of the MHS teams did their best, they were un- able to recapture the league champion- ship. At the end of the season, all teams were abandoned and the bowlers com- peted on an individual basis. In this tour- nament Martha Barger, who had one of the Trojans’ best averages, placed third. Dwayne Cundiff eases the ball down the alley hoping to find the spot which will bring him a strike.

Students sat on bleachers and lined the walls to yell for their class in the intramural games. Beginning with foot- ball in the autumn, contests ranged from basketball to whiffle ball to wrestling. The girls’ classes also participated in the games, competing in football, whiffle ball, and basketball. Healthy competition flourished as classes battled one another for points that were totaled at the end of the year for the school championship. Totaling the most number of points throughout the year, the sophomores won the competition. Effort and Organization Equal MHS’ First Golf Team “Let's have a golf team,” was the sentiment of several MHS golf enthusiasts. Following their interests, the boys formed a team which “teed off” every Monday and Tues- day at the Pocoshock golf course. The team was coached by Mr. Robertson and consisted of David Conyers, Dwayne Cundiff, Fred Gilbert, Bruce Grawburg, Steve Mitchell, Dean Sparkman, and Bud Bur- gess. Lining up putts, keeping their heads down, and making sure the left arm is stiff were only a few of the methods that these boys spent hours perfecting. Being a new team, their play consisted of only practice sessions. Fred Gilbert decides that golf is a matter of alignment. Carefully judging the distance, Fred will attempt to par the next hole.

Cheerleaders, who appeared in everything from frumpy dresses to football uniforms, entertained the stu- dent body with their pep rallies. Changing to District 2 brought transportation problems to many students when game time arrived. Since many of the games were so far away, the cheerleaders can- vassed the school selling bus tickets. After returning from Charlottesville in the autumn, the cheerleaders presented a new type of cheering with its straight-armed motions.

Going Places In Activities In “66 MHS throbbed with activities. School spirit united everyone, as the flurry of the year’s activities began. Students had a “blast” at the sock hops, yelled themselves hoarse at football games, and marveled upon seeing the 40-foot fir tree at the Christmas dance. Christmas holidays provided a welcome relief, but the drudgery of studying for exams loomed ahead. Snow, snow, and more snow appeared when a record-breaking fall hit in January. Assemblies by the dozens delighted and sobered students. Prom time arrived in the spring as did the “itch” to get out of school. ‘66 was a year bursting with activities. The students’ zest was unending. Their participation never dwindled. Pep Rallies, Assemblies, and Holidays Transform ’66 into Singing ‘“Woutldn‘t It Be Loverly,’’ Carolyn Henshaw and Clarke Jones en- tertain at the chorus-sponsored talent show. Both tried to keep a straight face, but they broke up in the middle of the song. ‘ih edt zs hea Year Charged With Vigor Donald Guss, Rex Scott, Wayne Brown, and Jimmy Wilkinson scurry to the cafeteria to avoid the long wait in the lunch line. “Robin” (Luther Holloman) saves the day as he discovers and captures the ‘Villain’ (Mike Guss) in a pep rally skit. “Batman” (John Dolan) twirls his cape as Thing’ (Dubby Combs) guards the “Villain.” Top: Taking time out from biology for a nap, Douglas Rudd rates a sleepy glance from Richard Barton, who looks as if he too will “take five.” Bottom: “A Pepsi tastes much better during school hours,” thinks Bill Drake, as Mrs. C onnie Phillips reads the Trojan Trumpet. Everyone welcomed Christmas parties on the last day of school before the holidays. 97 98 g 20 Century-Fox PRODUCTION ‘66 was noted for many things, including the record-breaking snowfall. With two feet of snow on the ground, school was dis- missed for eight days while students went sleigh riding and partied. Jerking to the music ‘of the Challengers at the Christ- mas dance, Mary Henshaw, Bryant Hodges, Anna Dietrich, and Danny Daniels get into the right groove for the Christmas holidays. Richmond came alive with the “Sound of Music’’ when Rodgers and Hammerstein’s academy-award musical appeared. During its long reign (over a year and a half), almost everyone saw it at least once. e School Patterns a Complex a” Mosaic for Its Students me o Z A football game two days after school starts! Where? At Virginia Beach! Nevertheless many students drove 125 miles to watch MHS spar with Virginia Beach HS. This type of enthusiasm was characteristic of the student body’s drive and school spirit in “66. Changing from Group I-B to Group II this year, students tra veled extensively to support the Trojans. With the cheerleaders and Mr. Chenery, vice-principal, arranging bus transportation, students journeyed to places like Scottsville, Madison, and Louisa. During the school day, some activity was always brewing. A regular Friday occurrence was the pep rally. Throughout the year, students rocked with laughter at the cheerleaders’ skits—who can forget the spoof on the “Old Age Home for the MHS Faculty” when Mrs. Justis’s mimic appeared as a duck. Assemblies by the dozen entertained and informed the student body. In November the Princess Talent Show was given and “Eloise” literally stole the show. Speeches were given on leadership ability and job opportunities. Alumnus Guy Peters, winner of a $12,000 grant to Michigan State, spoke on good citizenship. A movie entitled “While Brave Men Die,” concerning Vietnam, stirred students to think seriously about the United States’ commitment. All the Organizations in ‘66 were active in presenting shows before the student body. Lunch period lasted from 12:25 until 1:20, but as little time as possible was spent in the cafeteria. During this free time, students attended meetings, pep rallies, intramural games, or just socialized. For night life, students attended the various sock hops and dances, and, of course, the various athlet ic events. The Bleacher-Carnival held for the second year struck generous response from the students. ‘66 was indeed a year fired with activity. The student was always involved in something. His zeal to do new things never relented. Top: “We made the basket!’ squeals Sandi Ward, as Dale Smith clasps her hands in delight. MHS fans watched their Trojans soar right up to the State finals at Charlottesville. Bottom: “| Can‘t Get No Satisfaction,” bellows Johnny Holland at the juniors’ “Round Robin” sock hop. Forming bands was the thing! The Rogues, The Emports, and several other groups of boys played at school. Top: With arms ouistretched, Jack Cosby pipelines down the sidewalk on a skateboard; a sport that has rapidly gained in popularity. Bottom: Everyone was singing with Nancy Sinatra to the tune of ‘These Boots Are Made for Walkin’,’” especially the eighth graders, who trod through rain, snow, and sunshine in their white boots. Discussing their favorite movie, ‘Thunderball,’ Nancy Smith’s and Bobby Clayton’s outfits typify the latest fashions. Nancy dons the popular poor boy sweater with matching legs and gillie shoes, while Bobby sports a paisley shirt, tapered pants, and Weejuns. 100 Wild — Neat — Tough Students Seized New Fads Bright, brighter, brightest—the trend in clothes in ‘66 was the “Op” or “Pop Art” look. Boys wore polka-dotted shirts and madras slacks, while girls sported neon-colored jewelry and dresses. Monogramming swept like wildfire as initials appeared on jackets, pocketbooks, rings, pins, and even hip pockets. The conservative students still wore the traditional Vil- lagers, Gants, and Weejuns. Boys adopted wingtip shoes, while girls seized the sling-back pumps. The Beatle cut continued in popularity with the boys, and even the girls began to wear a modified version of this cut. During the Christmas holidays, James Bond “hit” Rich- mond in “Thunderball” and students crowded into the theaters to oggle at the fabulous settings and wild plot. Everything from discotheques to boots was ‘a go go, and Beatles’ hits still climbed to the number one spot on the record polls. The dances were (according to the adults) wild, as kids jerked their bodies and kicked their feet to the beat of the music. People or things were either “neat,” “groovy,” “tough,” or “sharp.” After the games or movies, students frequented Sho- ney’s, Bill’s, the Venice, or Julian’s. Fads throughout the year changed rapidly. Students’ curiosity to do new things or see new sights was never whetted. A Gale King devours one of lan Fleming’s James Bond thrillers. The ‘Bond’ influence appeared in every form from movies to cologne. Are they Martians? Students wondered when Betty Kincaid and Pat Marrin appeared at school with those wild uniforms.

The princesses vying for Homecoming Queen are: Sandra Ward, Jessica Carter, Dee Hankins, Joan Harris, Carol Thompson, Pat Marrin, Judy Simmons, Martha Barger, and Betty Kincaid. In a rare moment the pace slackens as couples sway to the music provided by the “Teardrops” at the SCA sponsored dance, ‘’Crown- ing Glory”. Homecoming ‘65 Sparkles “We'll never finish that float by Friday! Where’s the wood for the bonfire? Who's playing for the dance?” These various comments issued from frenzied students as Homecoming week arrived. On Tuesday, October 12, cheerleaders battled the Pep Club in a powder-puff football game. To the crowd’s amaze- ment, the cheerleaders won for the third year. Excitement continued to surge as the princesses entertained the students with their talent show. The girls’ acts ranged from the precocious Eloise to a Roaring 20's flapper. Thursday night students held a “March on Louisa.” Bear- ing torches, the senior football players led a crowd onto the school grounds where a fiery blaze awaited the dummy of a Louisa Rebel. In a flurry of activity on Friday, students cast ballots for Homecoming Queen and Maid of Honor. Clubs and classes, competing for the best float award, added the finishing touch- es to their projects. To the delight of the students, the Trojans downed the Rebels 13-0. During halftime, gaily decorated floats and cars passed before the reviewing stand. After much deliberation, the judges presented the Drama Club with the award for the best float. Highlighting the night's activities was the crowning of Betty Kincaid, 1965 Homecoming Queen, and Judy Sim- mons, Maid of Honor. Saturday night capped off the festive weekend with the Homecoming dance. Following the introduction of the Queen and her court, students jammed onto the gym floor, while the strains of “Louie, Louie’ surrounded them. Betty Kincaid gasps in amazement as she learns she is the 1965 Homecoming Queen. Her escort, Jim Meade, grins in delighted approval. 103 With the gigantic Christmas tree in the background, Patsy Steffen- hagen, queen of the Senior Dance, leads off the first dance with her Pa escort, Pau] Lawson. “This is too much,” screams Clarke Jones, “me with four girls under the mistletoe!” Gail Ferguson, Edna Henshaw, Carol Thompson, and Sherry Coker amusingly watch Clarke’s reaction at the Senior Dance, ‘Chestnuts Roasting an re | Py ' Oa An Open iFire” With blasts of “Long Tall Texan’’ blaring forth, couples rock to the music of the “Challengers.” Clarke Jones (Mr. Pipgrass) delights the audience with his antics. “Hit it girls!’ giggles Carol Shropshire (Stella) as she leads her band (Darlene Condrey, Sherry Coker, and Martha Barger) strained version of ‘’‘When The Saints Go Marching In.” Bed J, Nikiesy 1H; motley into a ‘‘Chestnuts’’ and “Dobie Gillis’’ Spark Seniors’ Activities Heave ho! Pull it through the door! Senior boys struggled and strained, but at last they had done it. Towering ma- jestically in the center of the gym floor was a 40 x 20 foot fir tree. With a combined effort, the class strung lights, made decorations, hung up mistletoe, and painted pine cones for center pieces. To the pleasure of all, the dance finally arrived on December 18. Highlighting the evening, Patsy Steffen- hagen was chosen by her classmates as Snow Queen. Vy- ing for this honor were: Janice Bowles, Carolyn Dance, Nora Galvin, Sandra Morris, Linda Walton, Pam Williams, Sylvia Woodcock, and Darlene Condrey. On April 29, before the largest crowd ever, the senior class presented “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis,” a three- act comedy. Collecting more funds than any other play in the history of the school, the performance was a smash. As an extra reward for their services, all the cast mem- bers were given tickets to attend the rib-tickling farce, “You Can‘t Take It With You,” at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.

Yes, prom time had definitely arrived. Upholding a cherished tradition, juniors escaped from classes the week of the dance to decorate. Boys ham- mered on refreshment huts, chopped down bamboo trees by the score, and strung crepe paper ac ross the entire length of the ceiling. In the meantime, the girls made every kind of Oriental flower imaginable, helped paint backdrops, and set up table arrangements. Finally, May 14 arrived. With strains of “Shangri-La” emitting from the band, juniors and seniors dreamily glid- ed into the patterns of the figure. The co-chairmen, Mary Ann Vincent and Jeb Paarfus, announced to a hushed audi- ence the King and Queen the juniors had selected for their prom—Clarke Jones and Darlene Condrey. As the dancing began, juniors happily looked about the world that they had created. No detail in making their setting authentic had been overlooked; even fortune cook- ies were served. Time, however, soon slipped by. Midnight approached and couples left with a somewhat nostalgic feeling. “Shangri-La” left a beautiful memory to cherish. “Whoops! There goes my crown!’ exclaims Darlene Condrey as she and Clarke Jones lead the first dance in honor of the prom King and Queen. 107 Seniors recalled many memories during the class history. Some of the class, who have attended MHS since the first grade, delighted the student body when they presented their first grade operetta.

Who will speak? How many invitations do | need? The number of graduation details was endless as the days slipped rapidly by. On Senior Day, at an afternoon assem- bly, the student body chuckled to the comical account of the seniors’ history, fol- lowed by the traditional prophecy, and the last will and testament. Baccalaureate services were held at Central Baptist Church on June 5. The Reverend Bryan W. Holloman, pastor at Bethlehem Baptist Church, delivered a challenging sermon to sixty-eight pensive seniors. As strains of “Pomp and Circumstance” resounded in the gym, the class slowly marched to their places. After Clarke Jones, senior class president, welcomed the audience, the student speakers deliv- ered their addresses. Carolyn Dance, vale- dictorian; Emily Salle’, salutatorian; Pat Kepner, and Pat Marrin based their topics on the theme, “Life is a ladder, infinite stepped.” Mr. Harry Carter and Mr. Alan Chenery awarded the diplomas. Among those re- ceiving special recognition were Carolyn Dance, who received the Panhellenic Award, and Betty Kincaid, who was given the Kiwanis Club Award. Six individual scholarships were given to members of the class. Two of these coveted scholar- ships went to Luther Holloman (V.M.I. State Cadetship and Sears and Roebuck Foundation), and Larry Barthurst (Gran- ville Meade, Settle Scholarship from U. of Richmond, and Bon Air Junior Women’s Club). Leaving the gym, the graduates moved forward to many places—some to college, some to jobs, and still others to marriage. “I've finally made it!’ grins Tom Caffrey, as he clutches his cherished diploma. After the ceremonies were over, the jubilant graduates welcomed congratulations from relatives and friends. Going Places In Advertisements Weejuns, John Meyers, Gants, and Villagers were names familiar to teenagers. In ‘66 these clothes were “in. Students adopted these styles. Their unending curiosity to try something different started new fads and created new demands. Advertisers recognized the students’ buying power. The teens’ influence saturated the community. In clothes, cosmetics, cars, and every field, the students’ direction was aimed at quality. The advertiser met this requirement. Mutual satisfaction was the result. Mi TELEPHONE.
