Change. One of the older high schools in Ches- terfield County, Midlothian High School is the oldest still located at its original site. The high school was accredited in 1923, and there were three graduates in the first graduating class. Until 1966 Midloth- ian housed grades one through twelve. There have been a number of building ad- ditions and remodeling programs, the most extensive of which was a renovation in 1971 when a library and auditorium were added. Through these transitions of growth and flexibility, Midlothian is striv- ing to meet the changing needs of the young people it serves... Midlothian High School has seen stu- dents enter wide-eyed and dumbfounded and leave possessing perhaps the finest high school education the state can offer. Midlothian has seen faculty members come and go, each in his or her own way having contributed something to the Mid- lothian story. And Midlothian has seen athletic teams graciously accept the ac- claim of victory and yet hold their heads high in defeat. The world of Midlothian High School has changed, but the change is part of its being. The school has grown in size and stature, but this is the only way it could remain true to itself. It is obvious that Midlothian is still a young school, her potentialities unlimited and her resources and reputation undis- puted. Her climb to excellence has been one of countless transitions, accompa- nied by anxieties, joys, and sorrows. Yet we find ourselves not at the end of our story, but at the crossroads. The names may change, the building structure may look different, but 1981 is just a milestone in our history. The close of recent eras and the beginning of new and surely even greater ones can now be seen. 2 Transitions Top: Midlothian School in 1951. The building housed grades one through twelve, and was later re- placed by a larger, more modern structure on the same site. Right: In 1971 Midlothian Junior-Senior High School underwent an exten- sive building addition. The library, office, auditorium, and senior hall were added at this time.

The new and the old are beautifully combined as old, red brick rests adjacent to the light brown mortar and brick of modern times. aMIDLOTHI SOUR INVESTMENT at Won Fy F 9, ANSITIONS SCHOOL.... n ALTERATIONS AND ADDITION AN JR-SR HIGH SCHOOL it THE TRANSITIO woA YEARBOOK The earliest Midlothian High School yearbook on record the 1938 Tattler. With sixteen graduating seniors, the class secretary dutifully penned the fol- lowing inauspicious paragraph in the sen- ior class history: “This year the school purchased a mimeograph machine and we made plans to make use of it by printing an annual. The school has not had an annual before and we found the job to be quite a task.”’ Quite a task indeed! Yearbook production was suspended at Midlothian between the years of 1939 and 1950, partly because of the global conflicts entangling the entire world. In 1950, however, the Midlo Memories was born, featuring a graduating class of fif- teen. The Midlothian yearbook was regu- larly published under the Midlo Memories title until 1957. In that year, the Trojan was conceived and produced for the very first time. The senior class historian re- corded that ‘‘... our annual staff...dida wonderful job and produced a new and different type of annual... ”’ Twenty-four editions later, the Midloth- ian Trojan is still the official yearbook, dutifully documenting the Midlothian sto- ry. There are ten times as many seniors today as there were back in 1957, the yearbook length has tripled, and the total yearbook budget has quadrupled almost twice. The Trojan is still a reflection on the growth of our school, with memories of our high school days. Twenty five years of remarkable progress — — a growing stu- dent body and faculty, new buildings, ad- ditions, and ever-expanding curriculum, new opportunities ... The Trojan is still the record of our so- journ at Midlothian High School, our in- volvement in sports and organizations, our attempt to set individual goals and find means of achieving them, the deci- sions we had to make, the joyful events and quiet times we shared with friends, the efforts on our studies, the pride we felt for our school ... our lives as stu- dents who walked the hallways of Mid- lothian High School... This, the twenty-fifth anniversary edi- tion of the Midlothian Trojan, continues a fine tradition begun in 1957. Transitions 3 The Faces of Individuals .. . the many faces of our school.

Helping students grow socially as well as academically are many activities and events that encourage a smooth tran- sition from childhood to adulthood. Whether it be the colorful flurry of Home- coming Week, or the boisterous enthusi- asm of the pep rallies, or the quiet dignity of the Junior-Senior Prom, students were given every opportunity to rid themselves of the scholastic rigors of Midlothian life by participating in the many facets of Midlo student life.

Students arrived at a a if : school in the traditional blue and gold on one day, wearing the ever-popular Trojan lapel buttons another, and dressed as anti-disco militants on a Punk Rock Day. On the last day of Spirit Week, students appeared dressed as gold miners in a play-on-words that fit the week’s theme of ‘‘Go for the Gold!”’ Some of the yearbook staff turns punk. Stacy Elliot is all ‘‘punked-out’’. Sue Whitney and Kelly Burns get a kick out of each other's attire. 10 Student Life Homecoming Could it be that Susan DePew is amused by David Dechiara’s hair?

Student Life Homecoming 11 Packed Thursday night hosted the traditional Powderpuff Football game, a contest pitting the cheerleaders against the members of the Pep Club. The Pep Club kept everyone excited with that Trojan spirit as they swept to a 12-0 victory over the cheerleaders. During the Powderpuff halftime, the Powderpuff King and Prince were crowned. Joe Pierce received the king’s crown, and Barry Sprigg was named Powderpuff Prince. After the rousing game, the breathless cheerleaders led in vigorous expressions of Trojan spirit at a bonfire that served to intensify already mounting enthusiasm. Even the spirit and the pep of the week, coupled with the mighty strength of the football team, do not make victory inevitable for the home forces — as Matoaca so rudely proved. The Trojans succumbed 28-12 to the Matoaca Warriors. 12 Student Life Homecoming The football team executes acrobatic skill. yore aS: cs ae prt ae Pein Sea ee Resa 14 Walking, working, laughing, loating, dancing, romancing, snuggling, leeping...

Student Life Candids 15 Gong Hits It wasn’t too long ago that the irreverent, and sometimes objec- tionalble, ‘‘Gong Show’’ graced the airwaves in Richmond. The show featured amateur talent that was judged by a panel of ce- lebrity judges. On January 14th, the MHS Hon- or Guard Drill Team presented a ‘Midlothian Gong Show” with emcee Jeff Connors and ‘‘celeb- rity’’ judges Mr. Hale, Mr. Olsen, and Mr. Dixon. The acts ranged from serious singing to insane ka- zoo-dancing. Three acts were gonged: the “Stumpie Stompers” dancing to “Boogie Shoes,’’ the Unknown Abominable Kazoo Players, and the Obnoxious Animal Band. Four acts received eight points each: the pom-pom squad, shaking to the Knack’s ‘‘My Sharona’’; LeeAnn Sizer’s rendi- tion of Edith Ann; Julie Duffield’s baton twirling to ‘‘Skatetown U.S.A.’’; and Kyle Bowles and the “Once-a-Month Nature Boys” original hit, ‘‘The Ballad of Todd Farmer.” Two acts tied for first place with ten points each: guys dressed as ‘‘Luscious Lovelies”’ singing the HeeHaw hit, ‘‘When Will | Be Loved?” and Liz Hod- der’s ‘‘The Rose.”’ The informal, tacky, and some- times tasteless performances created a hilarity always wel- comed, seldom seen, at Midloth- ian.

Three Midloth- ian High School seniors, three juniors, two sophomores and two freshmen, chosen and screened by the S.C.A., spent an entire day at Clover Hill High School. On April 2 the process was reversed, and ten Clover Hill students spent the day at Midlothian. These ‘“‘exchange students” were paired with a ‘‘host”’ student, and sat-in on the “‘host”’ student’s classes. Despite the fact that both Midlothian and Clover Hill are within the same school system, M.H.S. students were somewhat sur- prised at some obvious differences between the two high schools: Clover Hill is much newer, with more modern facili- ties; Clover Hill is much larger, with crowded classrooms and hallways. All students involved in this student exchange program were impressed with the differences and similarities in the two schools. Located as they are in totally different regions of Chesterfield County, some differences were expected, yet the entire program stressed the obvious similarities between the schools.

Perhaps the one object that guaranteed the most freedom was the automobile. The Midlothian area contains several affluent communities, and as a result, a great many Midlothian students owned their own cars. Many other students have worked for years to afford their own cars. But in either case, those four wheels gave a feeling of independence and accom- plishment. Even with the energy short- age, the 1981 school year saw no short- age of cars in the student parking lot.

Student Life Cars 19 Get a Job Midlothian students handled the high cost of living in various ways. Many stu- dents worked part-time during the week and on weekends to put that ‘“‘liquid gold”’ in their gas tanks as gasoline prices ho- vered at the $1.30 gallon mark. The cost of high school romance also skyrocket- ed, as movie prices hit $3.50, a good meal at a nice restaurant cost anywhere from $10 to $30, and a simple tuxedo for the prom cost $45. Whether it was selling clothes, bussing tables, or pumping gas, many MHS stu- dents found the money they needed in local employment opportunities. Schrafft’s Crepes ’n Cremes in Sycamore Square employed eight Midlo students, and Miller Rhoads at Chesterfield Mall hired nine. Smaller businesses in the area willingly took on high school students as part-time employees. These part-time employment opportunities allowed MHS students to face the transitions of high school life with money in their pockets. (above) Robert Morgan daringly violates the Ukrop’s dress code.

QHNSUHRFIELD COUNTY LIBRARY VIRGINIA Prom Prep With rising prices, the members of the junior class had their work cut out for them when they began to make prepara- tions for the prom. Co-chairmen Lisa Rin- aldi and Janice McElwee led the junior class in designing, painting, and decorat- ing for the May 9th event. Centered around a theme of ‘“‘A New York Fanta- sy,’ prom settings had to be provided for the enjoyment of 200 couples. All material used in the construction also had to be fireproofed under the watchful eyes of the Chesterfield fire marshall. In addition, a hugh parachute had to be precariously attached to the gym ceiling. As is traditional every year, tired junior class members spent the last week be- fore the event missing classes and much — needed rest in order to finish final preparations for the Junior-Senior Prom of 1981.

Student Life Prom Prep 21 A New York Fantasy The Junior-Senior Prom of 1981 was centered around a theme of “New York Fantasy.’ Featuring the music of ‘‘Union Pacific,” some 200 couples, most of them dressed in the traditional senior white, danced, laughed, and visited with their friends from 8:00 until 12:00. The figure, including ranking representatives from each school organization, started the event at 8:30. After the figure, the announcement of king and queen was made with Joe Pierce as king and Connie Boehling as queen. Then the dancing started with the rock music of ‘‘Union Pacific’’ and the evening slowly wound down at 12:00. Afterwards were the traditional parties, dinners, and breakfasts, but the obvious high- light of the evening was the prom produced by the hardworking juniors.

Prom Student Life 25 Practice Makes Perfect When the final bell ri ngs at 1:50 every afternoon, it symbolizes the end of the average student's ‘‘working day.”’ But for a great many other students, it signified the beginning of the real work — prac- tices, rehearsals, exercises, and other workouts. These students comprised the many Midlo squads that spent countless free hours perfecting the skills that won awards and honors for Midlothian High School. The football teams practiced in the broiling summer sun, the tennis teams in chilly March weather, and the track teams all year round. The cheerleaders practiced all year to perfect the cheers that fired-up the fans at athletic contests. The Honor Guard Drill Team endured cuts, bruises, and dangerous drills in or- der to learn routines that won state and national honors. All of these dedicated squad members, and the countless others not specifically mentioned, displayed unwavering enthu- siasm and perseverence in order to draw- out the Trojan pride of 1981. 3 = | (upper right) Neil Mott tries to bear the hot August sun.

There is now no time to worry about individual differences. Throughtout this personal transition, all efforts are directed to one and only one goal: to do your best, and to know that you can still hold your head high no matter what the outcome. - Sports CONTENTS Football Peete ran terran semitone Sects 30 Ginls@Basketballipeeereett eee ace: 36 RIClGHHOCK ey Merce. weet ds ccrscetect teats 40 (GROBS: (COMINAY cocsncasanopbadnancBeeossecsunoanGae 42 SOGCC Clmemreerreee aarti es ries oe ecai accuecarceunioes 44 Basketpallieemnrrc ees cisco aoe 46 WireSthingmmeerreste cine nscse: cceseocke onenonaes o2 GYMNASTICSH warren retiree co risnceuencees 54 SET | sec can cecee HAA en tk Or oe eee 55 SPUINGMliRACKitevesssncq cme ee ccc 56 Baseballimce.t.ciccrcouancs mentee. 60 Softball tas tence eee eee: 63 SE GTUMISeteae te teoedece ccc eves ceaas anaes Soneseeuenee 64 Sports 29 Another One Bites The Dust ers Rob Buell checks for a receiver. Mark Spangler ‘‘gets rough.” Midlothian football fans found them- selves in an unusual position in 1980: our team played excellent football (as ad- mitted openly by our rivals), yet we still ended the season with a disappointing 2- 7-1 record. Some of the best teams in the district found their formerly successful of- fensive strategies stymied by determined Trojan players. Some of the worst teams in the district found their usually mediocre chances at victory increased by frequent interceptions and Trojan fumbles. Midlothian opened the seas on with a 7- O victory over nearby Monacan. The victo- ry, not included in the Dominion District record, boosted Trojan morale as we faced Lloyd Bird the following week. The Bird team shut us out 14-0, and the only bright spot in an otherwise dismal game was a 78-yard interception by Bill Wat- son. At Clover Hill one week later three interceptions paralyzed Trojan hopes for victory as the Cavaliers coasted to a 6-0 victory. 30 Sports Football On September 26th Midlothian posted 328 yards of total offense but wasted three scoring opportunities within the 10- yard line, settling for a scoreless dead- lock with Manchester. Meadowbrook scored twice one week later and recovered five Trojan fumbles to extend our scoreless drought to nineteen quarters. At Varina a week later, Trojan team members rolled-up 224 yards, cut Varina’s average offensive yardage in half — which was no small feat — and intercepted four passes, only to succumb 8-7 to the Devils. We did end our string of scoreless quarters with a second quarter touchdown by Rob Owens. The Homecoming game, played against second-place Matoaca, also end- ed in Trojan defeat. We found the score- board late in the game when Rob Owens plowed three yards for a touchdown after a 48-yard Bill Watson run. Watson scored the final touchdown of the game with a 55- yard run.

Powhaten buried the Trojans 40-16 on Halloween night, and Colonial Heights defeated us 21-18 in the final game of the season. It was a season of disappointment and defeat, but Trojan fans consoled them- selves with the fact that almost all of the outstanding players of 1980 will return next year, bringing hope for a more successful season in 1981. 32 Sports Football Tim Farmer, 30, helps fellow Trojans ‘“‘attack that quarterback.” Scoreboard Opponent Monacan (0) L.C.

Coached by Vatel Dixon and Pat Manuel, the jayvees had every reason to believe that their team would reassert the Trojan superiority of the past. However, football — both varsity and junior varsity — was in for a rough year at Midlothian in 1980. Starting the season against Clover Hill, the JV Cavalier’s racked-up 12 unan- swered points. Manchester checked out an 8-6 victory one week later. Meadow- brook crushed Midlothian 32-2 the next week, and neighboring Monacan showed no mercy with a 13-6 victory the following Thursday night. 34 Sports JV Football Midlothian’s jayvees finally boasted a win when they downed Matoaca 6-0. The feelings of success were shortlived, how- ever, aS Thomas Dale beat us 34-6 the next week. Godwin High School defeated the Trojans 18-16 the following week, and Powhatan won 21-8 in the final game of the season. An overall record of 1-7 is not exactly noteworthy, but the dedication of our JV players in the face of defeat was truly commendable. Our team worked at their game constantly but just didn’t ‘‘click’’ as a unit. With sixteen freshmen players, however, the year’s worth of on-the-fi eld experience will prove invaluable in sea- sons to come. e) 6 2 6 6 6 6 8 Scoreboard Opponent Clover Hill 12 Manchester Meadowbrook Monacan Matoaca Thomas Dale Godwin Powhatan VLE LIT Fe ee Top Left: Chase Dame and Jeff Chambers check out the JV cheerleaders.

Shoot two through the hoop Afier losing seven seniors and five letter- men, the Lady Trojans started the 1980-81 season with an emphasis on rebuilding. Yet the athletic maturity and poise of two new freshmen players, Diane Mamunes and Lauren Boclair, coupled with the all-around ability of senior Lisa Kipple (who dominated the game in scoring, passing, steals, and rebounds), provided for a highly successful season. It was Midlothian’s first year in the new Dominion District; and after losing the sea- son opener at home, Midlothian’s Lady Tro- jans did not lose at home again the entire season. The Lady Trojans finished third in the district with a record of 13-5. Kipple, who was heavily scouted during the season, racked-up 490 points in 20 games, with an average of 24.5 points per game. She played in every quarter of every game, and established a 74% free throw percentage —becoming the undisputed Lady Trojan of 1981. cham Lisa Kipple asks for the ball.

Co-captains Susan Kendrick and Lauren Roberge led the team through a ten-game winning streak that was disrupt- ed by a one-point loss to Manchester. Showing the dedication and drive nec- essary to be good athletes, these junior varsity girls offered plenty of promise for future varsity teams.

The Midlothian soccer team posted an- other successful season as only the sec- ond soccer team in M.H.S. history. Last year’s team — recognized as the best in the state — was comprised primarily of underclassmen. Therefore the ground- work was laid for a victorious 1981 sea- son. Ending the season with a 7-3-2 overall record, the team proved to all competi- tors that Midlothian is a force to be reck- oned with.

Sports Soccer 45 Working Our Way Most serious Trojan fans expected the 1981 varsity basketball season to be one of maturation and rebuilding. Yet with determi- nation, fiery enthusiasm, and relentless spir- it, the varsity players displayed some fancy ball handling and tricky manuevers in an ef- fort to outwit their rivals. The team steadily improved as a result of long, rigorous prac- tices, true dedication, and an intense will to win. With only one letterman returning, Midloth- ian fans accepted back-to-back, season- opening losses at the hands of Clover Hill and Manchester. Then Trojan fans rallied to- gether with their team as Midlothian forged a string of four impressive victories: 76-56 over Meadowbrook, 63-55 over Varina, 72- 61 over Powhatan. The sixth regular season game ended in defeat at the hands of Colo- nial Heights 66-56. Yet once again the taste of defeat spurred the team on to victory. In quick succession, we dominated five rivaling teams, defeating L. C. Bird by 12, Manchester by 13, Mea- dowbrook by 26, Varina by 7, and Matoaca by 4 (in overtime). Thomas Dale’s Knights abruptly handed us our last regular season loss — 74-50. The following four competi- tions ended in solid Trojan victory — Powha- tan lost by 27, Colonial Heights by 17, Thom- as Dale by 7, and Bird by 10. Inthe Dominion District tournament, however, L.C. Bird re- bounded to defeat Midlothian by five in dou- ble overtime. The Trojan ball club ended with an overall record of 13-6, and a Dominion District re- cord of 13-5. In a season where Midlothian was fully expected to end at the bottom of the rankings, we forged ahead to an impres- sive third place standing. Returning letterman Kim Chambers clearly dominated Midlothian’s game. He led in scoring, with an average of 20.2 points each game. He was selected as the most valuable player by his teammates. In addition, he was also selected to the first All-District team, the first All-Regional team, and the second All-Metro team.

In addi- tion, his teammates voted him the best offensive player. Senior Yancey Snavely led the team in rebounds, and was selected as the most improved player. Without exception the players credit their fiery on-court presence to the vocal- ly enthusiastic Trojan fans who jammed the stands. Every home game was char- acterized by cheering, appreciative fans who spurred their team on to victory. With unusual gimmicks like ‘‘Hat Night,’ “Beach Night,’’ ‘‘New Wave Night,’ and “Polite Night,’’ the fans responded in overwhelming numbers with colorful cos- tumes, loud cheers, and infectious spirit — sometimes to the chagrin of the school administration. It was an unforgettable varsity basket- ball season marked by an all-time high in student support and spirit.

Eventually their determination paid-off, and the JayVees completed the season with an overall record of 11-7. The J.V. games were marked by unusu- ally low fan support, even though some of the games were extremely close and very exciting. Each J.V. player played with de- termination and ability.

With a fifth place standing in the Dominion District and a tenth place re- cord in the Region, the squad spent countless hours in workouts and prac- tices. For days prior to an important match, team members could be seen pushing themselves through agonizing exercises in order to ‘‘make weight’ — that is, to lose enough weight to be offi- cially classified in a low weight grouping. The team was fortunate in 1981 to have several individual wrestlers achieve note- worthy recognition. Senior Chuck Chris- tie, in addition to serving as team tri-cap- tain, was district champion in his weight division. John Sampson also led his weight class in the district competition. Two Trojan wrestlers — Allen Stacy and Glenn Kelly — were selected to the sec- ond district team, and Terry Biringer and Matt Brown were chosen to the fourth dis- trict team.

This unity promoted enthusiasm and support from the student body that spilled over at football and basketball games and pep rallies. Nineteen eighty-one was a_ year marked by intense Trojan spirit.

This year’s winners were Glenn Dyke and Becky Conklin. The educational aspects stressed dur- ing Language Week provided Midlothian students with an opportunity to take a closer look at countries outside the bor- ders of the United States.

Anne Frank was a young Jewish girl born in Germany whose entire family was forced to hide from Hitler’s secret police during World War Il. The story of their life while in hiding was faithfully recorded ina diary kept by the young Anne. After her death at sixteen at the hands of Hitler’s Nazis, her journal was discovered and im- mediately recognized as a great literary work. After the war it was published, and has sold almost four million copies since then in twenty countries and twelve lan- guages. The story was later dramatized by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, and became one of the most successful Upper Right: Anne pleads forgiveness from Mrs. Van Daan. Right: Anne gets her point across. Anne shows her frustration with her mother. 74 Academics The Diary of Anne Frank enterprises in contemporary theater. It has been made into a movie, and in 1981 was presented as a made-for-television film. The story of Anne Frank has become probably the most celebrated document of a single human being’s ordeal during World War Il. Out of the millions who were gassed, burned, shot, hanged, starved, tortured, and buried alive, Anne Frank has become a prime symbol of the innocence of all those who died in the middle of the twentieth century at the hands of the most powerful state in western Europe. Under the masterful direction of Mrs. Katherine Baugher, the production im- pressed surprisingly small audiences dur- ing a four day run in early February. The cast members, many of whom were ap- pearing on Midlothian’s stage for the first time, creatively reasserted Midlothian’s reputation for theatrical excellence.

Each student was asked to choose the four careers about which he or she would be most interested in finding out more information. The nine hundred questionnaries were then tabulated by the Guidance Depart- ment. Mrs. Goodwin attempted to invite one representative from each profession listed to attend Midlothian’s first Career Fair on February 12th, 1981. Mrs. Jones individually scheduled each student into the four careers the student had selected previously. Mrs. Voight planned a formal reception for the guests, and Mrs. Led- better and the Business Department planned and printed student schedule cards. Each student attended four twenty min- ute seminars conducted by representa- tives of the careers in which he or she was interested. By all accounts, Midloth- ian’s first Career Fair was a success. Many local business and organizations freely gave of their time, experience, and expertise to share their educational and professional backgrounds with interested Midlothian students. The day was an unin- terrupted success, serving to solidify the career plans of many students. The Guidance Department spent hours planning the details that came together on February 12th in Midlothian’s first (and hopefully not last) career fair.

A fine tra- dition of theatrical excellence was contin- ued by the superior production under the direction of Mrs. Katherine Baugher and Ms. Rebecca Wright. The entire cast gave excellent perfor- mances. Liz Hodder was exceptional in the role of Maria, and her voice set a mood that remained throughout the entire evening. John Nowland’s portrayal of Max Detweiler brought many laughs, and the harmony of the nun’s chorus was superb. Playing to enthusiastic audiences, the cast and crew presented the Oscar and Hammerstein classic with talent and skill. Top: Maria (Liz Hodder) wishes that her day in the hills would not end.

For the first time Mid- lothian had a team member ranked first place at the state level. Intra-school com- petition, held early in January, deter- mined who would represent Midlothian in the nine categories involved. At the first level of competition — the Dominion Dis- trict AA Forensic Meet — the Midlothian team won in every category for the sec- ond consecutive year.

At the final stage of competi- tion, the statewide meet at the University of Virginia, Midlothian had its very first first-place winner — Jack Spencer. The entire team, coached by Mrs. Katherine Baugher, enthusiastically and capably carried the Trojan reputation of excel- lence in public speaking to each level of competition. Midlothian students who desired to learn a technical trade or skill had an op- portunity to participate in the Chesterfield Tech Center program. For three periods a day students worked at the Tech Center, deriving experience and education in the skill of their choice. From hairdressing to welding, bricklaying to horticulture, the programs of study were centered around the student’s desire to learn and work in the subject area of their choice. Pn... a.

The fall drama production, Noel Coward’s comedic Blithe Spirit, delighted audiences on November 13, 14, and 15, with a small cast portraying a writer, a doctor, a maid, a seer, and a seductive ghost, under the direction of Mrs. Baugher and student director Andrea Brady. The cast and crew worked together in creating special effects that added to the “‘ghostly’’ mood of the comedy. Se oS = s @ Top left: Madame Arcati gets her point across very dramatically.

For many Midlothian students, high school is just a stepping stone for the transition to higher goals. Some students pursue their interests at the Tech Center, while others begin to plan for the further- ing of their educations. College-bound students take the PSAT in October of their junior year, ushering in the worry, tension, and indecision. In November, a College Night is offered, and juniors have an opportunity to talk to representatives of several different colleges and universi- ties. In the spring many juniors visit these colleges and frequently spend weekends with college friends. By the beginning of the senior year, most twelfth grade stu- dents know where they would like to go to school, and the guidance counselors stay busy filling out applications and mailing transcripts while the students anxiously await the latest SAT and Achievement Test scores. Top students who have de- cided on the school which they would like to attend have the option to apply for ear- ly acceptance, thereby eliminating the worry associated with the senior year. Many others wait until spring for notifica- tion, and for some, that is when the real dilemma begins. Most Midlothian seniors continue their education at colleges and universities, but are faced with choosing the one most suitable for their own personal goals. Many others are faced with the realiza- tion that those years of high school “‘fun and failure’ really do matter — and these students must seriously reconsider their futures. During the senior year, MHS stu- dents are forced to make decisions that will affect them their entire lives. Sure, the senior year is full of fond reminiscing and fun activities, but the constant frus- tration over very important decisions makes the senior year a challenging one, too!

Academics College 85 Brains Battle Four Midlothian students were given an opportunity to demonstrate their aca- demic prowess in the local “‘Battle of the Brains’’ competition, produced for the third consecutive year by WCVE-23. Team members Steve Perry, Larry Secht- man, Lisa Lyons, and Stan Yukevich were selected through intensive intra-school competition. Sponsored by Mrs. Burt- chett, the Trojan team competed against schools from nearby counties and the city of Richmond.

These questions were then followed by bonus questions. All competi- tion was televised live from the studios of Channel 23. The competition, when completed, proved that Midlothian was one of the top-ranking schools in the area.

PERS PRATER ageeo’ SS Academics Battle of the Brains 87 Midlothian students got caught up in the excitement of Campaign ’80 by par- ticipating in a county-wide high school mock Presidential election. Social stud- ies teachers around the county organized an election complete with voter registra- tion, popular vote, and electoral college vote. The electoral votes were distributed according to each school’s total enroll- ment. The Carter, Reagan, and Anderson del- egations began meeting in September un- der the respective leadership of Mr. Dug- gan, Mrs. Cousins, and Mrs. Burchett. The groups elected chairmen, chose elec- tors, and began planning strategy for a school-wide rally to be held on October 20th. Amanda Bordelon and Mark Zanoni spoke in favor of Congressman John An- Midlo Students Favor derson, as his somewhat sparse support- ers cheered. Stephanie Sallé, Kendall Houghton, lan Haldimann, and a Carter campaign official led the rowdy support- ers of President Jimmy Carter. Kevin Hall, Kathy Nowland, and Vaughan Gibson, along with Midlothian Supervisor Joan Girone, urged students to vote for Ronald Reagan for ‘‘A New Beginning.” Midlothian students showed that they overwhelmingly supported a change in national leadership when the October 28th “Election Day’ arrived. Only stu- dents and faculty members who had pre- viously registered could actually vote. Midlothian gave Ronald Reagan a 2-to-1 landslide victory that foreshadowed a na- tional trend made evident on the real Election Day, November 4th.

To be eligible, juniors must have a 3.6 cumulative average and seniors are required to have a 3.4 average. In addition, candidates must participate in at least two activities and demonstrate leadership ability. Each fall, eligible students are “‘tapped’”’ into the society at an assembly attended by the entire student body. Once the students have been inducted, they must maintain high scholastic standards or face probation. Midlothian’s NHS chapter is named after Mrs. Virginia A. Justis, who has sponsored the society for many years. Under her leadership, the club has participated in several service activities. This year the NHS contributed to the SCA’s Christmas project, donated a water fountain to the school, selected “Teachers of the Year,’’ provided tutoring, and sponsored a schoolwide blood drive. ee (top) Having learned a little too closely to the can- dles, Eddie Dean thanks Judy Burtner for putting out the fire in his hair.

(below) Sophomores Carol Thom- as and Joanne Green finally learn to study the Midlo way! Each high school grade level is best characterized by certain activities and emotions: Freshmen experience bewilderment, confusion, journals, and course selec- tions. Sophomores’ handle harder classes, Julius Caesar, and junior varsity sports. Juniors are inundated with PSATs, school rings, and prom preparation. Sen- iors are confronted with MacBeth, achievement tests, college applications, “senior slum,’ and triumphant tears of farewell. After the transition from ninth to twelfth grade — after allthe chemistry equations and Victorian poets are forgotten, — our lab partners, our lockermates, our spe- cial ‘‘sidekicks’’, will always be remem- bered. These individuals, these faces in the Midlothian crowd, are so important — they are our friends.

Seniors handled SATs, Achievement Tests, college applications, ASVABs, and graduation ceremonies with ease. Seniors have worked diligently for twelve years to re- cieve the diplomas that are distributed on June 5th. Yet with the personal satisfaction of graduation comes a new worry: as graduates, they no longer are protected by the brick walls of Midlothian High School. Old horizons have ended and new ones wait to be discovered. For most seniors, college lies just ahead, with all of its transitions, experiences, and opportunities. For still other seniors the uncertainty of the job market is a very close reality. Oth- ers still have no plans whatsoever. Despite our varied futures, despite our worries and fears, the seniors of 1981 were proud to have been edu- cated at Midlothian High School. 96 Seniors Senior Class Officers Paddi Dean, president; Sarah Watson, vice president; Jacqueline Lewis, secre- tary; Kelly Burns, chaplain; Beth Watson, treasurer.

Inaclass of two hundred and fifty-six, the last per- son in the top twenty had a grade-point- average of 3.7 and the entire top five sen- iors had an average above 4.0. There was extensive jostling during the year as some seniors received higher grades and some lower. In the top twenty were twelve girls and eight guys — not that that proved anything!

Every year Midlothian has one or two outstanding athletes. The class of ’81 sported three superior ath- letes. Lisa Kipple, Kyle Tucker and Kathy Smith, each involved in differ- ent sports, received rewards in the form of scholarships. Kyle Tucker, who made the All- Metro Football Team, received a full scholarship to the University of Richmond. Kyle adjusted early to playing on a college team. Three times a week he could be found lift- ing weights with his future team- mates. Kyle felt that he would have a rewarding future with his team and with Coach Dal Shealey, whom Kyle described as ‘‘sincere and easy to work with.” Another receipient of a scholar- ship was Kathy Smith.

The summer before her senior year Kathy spent six weeks training with the team. One of the outstanding members on the girl's basketball team, Lisa Kipple was awarded a full VCU be- cause she played ‘open gym” with some of the players during the sum- mer prior to her senior year. In addi- tion, she planned to room with a for- mer Midlothian player, Racheal Jor- dan, also a member of the VCU team. The coach, Mike Mays, con- sidered using Lisa as the ‘‘swing man’ or the shooting guard. These three students have put not only many hard-working hours into their individual sports but liter- ally years preparing for this stage of their lives. The scholarships they were awarded proved, however, that it was that extra effort that counted most. Seniors 101 Coming Back for | More Author Thomas Wolfe once wrote that man could never return home after leaving, but several Midlo students proved him wrong. Cherie Myers, Vince Signorelli, and Wendy O’Dell returned and quickly accus- tomed themselves to student life. Cherie Myers, who moved to Williamsburg in the ninth grade, returned at the beginning of her senior year and found old friends — ready to receive her once more. Another senior girl, Wendy Q’ Dell, transferred to two private schools and finally made her way back to Midlo. Vince Signorelli attended school in Raleigh, North Carolina, b cause of a family move. He returned also a the start of the 1981 school year. Whatever the reason, these three seniors made their way home to graduate with classmates of years gone by. They welcomed as old friends, and slipped com- fortably into the MHS routine. Ili, Cherie Myers. William Leo Forst: Basketball 10, 117, 12: Golf 9, 11, 12.

Some seniors, only re- cently recovered from the expense of the Midlothian High School prom, found themselves destitute again. All seniors rented their graduation announces its gowns and mortarboards from Herff — Jones. The standard cost was $8.75. (Granencenient Grercises Most senior girls purchased a white dress 9 ; ‘ : for Class Day, doling out anywhere from riday ALIS June fifth $40 — $100. A red rose for Class Day 5 , carried a price tag of $2.00. Nineteen hundred and eighty-one Engraved announcements and person- che oly Cig hed! al name cards cost $11.60. Many seniors 7 realized, however, that the only way to Mdlothian High Chefeol receive gifts for graduation was to send the announcements. High prices once again struck the Mid- lothian Class of 1981 in the form of ex- pensive graduation costs. Yet graduation was finally here, and more than one senior was willing to pay any price to get that diploma. The standard Class of '81 graduation announcement. PRICE: 22¢ each.

In a dignified May 31st ceremony, sen- iors in cap and gown filed respectfully into Bon Air Baptist Church for Baccalaureate services. Opening with prayer was Bon Air youth minister, H. Glenn Chenning. Class Chaplain Kelly Burns followed with some thoughtful words on human nature. She told the graduates that life isn’t about winning but about sharing, and that real wealth isn’t about holding on to things, but about knowing how to let them go. Midlothian’s choir and chorus per- formed selections from Bach and da Via- dana, and then the Baccalaurete address was delivered by the Reverend Dr. Frank Voight of the Virginia Baptist Association. Dr. Voight advised the seniors to defy self -limitation and to be everything that they could possibly be in the world. Dr. Voight’s ability to make the seniors laugh and think seriously at the same time pro- duced an interesting, memorable ad- dress. The ceremony ended with the M.H.S. mixed choir’s performance of the Alma Mater. Top right: This group of senior guys looks ready for the ceremony to begin.

Seniors 115 In a move designed to add some de- gree of dignity to Class Day activities, the program was held in the auditorium in- stead of the gymnasium. However, ex- cited and relieved senior class members still raised the roof with loud expressions of happiness at the rapidly approaching graduation exercises. Class Day opened with seniors filing into the auditorium as the audience, con- sisting entirely of junior class members, stood respectfully. To open the program Mr. Poates and Mrs. Goodwin presented honorary awards and announced scholar- ship recipients. Next Lee Ann Sizer and Kevin Hall announced the winners of sen- ior superlatives. Junior Liz Hodeer sang, class president Paddi Dean passed the gavel to rising class president Steve Jones, and Kyle Bowles presented the class history. Class Day ’81 Rowdier than Ever!

Practicing for the Big Event Mark Adams says, “‘Of course | made it!” Baccalaureate and Class Day were practically things of the past when June 5th finally rolled around. Seniors contin- ued through the hectic pace of their last week together with graduation practice on Friday morning. Mr. Hale, wearing his sunglasses and bermuda shorts for the fourth consecutive year, instructed the seniors on the finer points of the ceremo- ny and assigned the seniors to their indi- vidual seats. After what seemed like an eternity in the 90° heat, the seniors fi- nally felt confident as the time for the 8:00 p.m. ceremony slowly crept closer.

Graduation Practice 117 Into the World In one final transition the Class of 1981 experienced the end of twelve years of grammar school, junior high, and sen- ior high school. Parents and friends watched as the 240 graduating seniors received their diplomas, the visible evi- dence of their work and effort. For the first time, the adminis- tration and faculty took part in the services, lending yet an- other distinctive touch to the dignified ceremony. Valedictori- an Paddi Dean and Salutatorian Larry Diamond gave the com- mencements addresses. Robbie Buell, president of the stu- dent body, opened the ceremony and special recognition was given to the top ten students. The recessional marked the last time the Class of 1984 would be together as a group. Graduation — that long await- ed event — was now history.

Graduation 119 Class of ’81 Superlatives Late in the spring each senior was giv- en a blank nomination form listing fifteen senior superlative categories. These nomination sheets were filled-out by each senior and then tabulated. The three boys and three girls nominated most fre- quently in each category were then listed on an Official ballot, and the actual voting then took place. Class sponsor Marjory Willis tabulated the votes, recorded the results in sealed envelopes, and kept the outcome a secret until Class Day. On Class Day Lee Ann Sizer and Kevin Hall opened the envelopes and announced the winners, and Margaret Chaffin and Susan Miles presented each winner with an award worthy of the category involved.

Certainly 1981 was no ex- ception for the junior class. Not only did they have to contend with the everyday grind of school, but they also had to worry about PSAT’s and SAT’s. With the approach of spring, preparation for the prom was well underway.

It has no beginning and no end. A Midlothian High School class ring is an expensive, yet priceless, possession. With soaring gold pieces, the 1982 class rings reflected a tangible investment. The juniors wisely ordered their rings at the end of their sophomore year to insure an ear- ly delivery. In early October the ‘fateful’? day arrived — and for weeks thereafter the proud ju- niors were seen thrusting swollen sweaty fingers into the paths of unsuspecting ‘‘targets’’ in quest of the magical eighty-two revolu- tions. Within days, however, the rings became natural parts of the wearers. The rings provided something to play with in class, something to give to a very spe- cial friend, and something to be worn as a sign of maturity. More- over, the rings provided a perma- nent momento of these unforget- table years.

Therefore, the traditional description of sophomores as ‘‘low men on the totem pole’ was not true this year. Sophomores endured many emotions and experiences. Driver education was at hand, as was frog dissection, National Hunter Safety Week, and Julius Caesar.

A license gives a teenager that sense of responsibility and freedom craved by every school student. Driver’s education is one of the first steps. This course is taught alternately with phys- ical education in the sophomore year. The students learn rules of driving, basic infor- mation of the maintenance and construction of a car, and the results of not abiding by the law. Students will always remember the films shown — films filled with automobile acci- dents where all details are vividly pictured. Not only is classroom instruction part of Ease on Down the Road driver’s education, but behind-the-wheel in- struction is also required. This year students were able to ‘“‘student drive’’ during school if they had their learner’s license. They drove through the country, through the city, in the sun, in the rain, and even around Safety Town. Driver’s Education has improved sinced our parents took it. With power steering, power brakes, and other modern devices, driving has been simplified to the point where it is extremely enjoyable to the new driver. Driver’s education is one course that students will really use in their future lives.

Sophomores 145 FRESHMEN The Class of 1984 began the school year one day earlier than everybody else by attending a midday orienta- tion program. There they were told just what was expect- ed of them as Midlothian High School students, and the student life of Midlothian was patiently explained. In addi- tion, they were given reign to wander the ‘‘confusing’’ hallways before the hectic opening day. The freshmen only had to be told once what was ex- pected of them, and they performed admirably throughout the many transitions of the ninth grade. The challenge of adapting to high school, with all of its transitions, experiences, and opportunities, was foremost in the minds of the Class of 1984. 146 Freshmen Freshmen Class Officers Brad Adams, president; Lauren Ellis, vice-president; Debbie Black, treasurer; Terry Lawler, secretary.

To help allevi- ate the trauma of entering a new world — the world of high school — the Midlothian S.C.A. annually sponsors an orientation program for incoming freshmen. On Thursday morning, August 21, a mere five days before that fateful first day of school, some two hundred freshmen entered Midloth- ian High School for the first time. They were eagerly shepherded into the auditorium where they were greeted by Assistant principal Greg Hulcher and S.C.A. president Robby Buell. Then, for almost one hour, the nervous fresh- men, seemingly annoyed that their rapidly dwindling summer was so rudely interrupted, listened as representatives from every con- ceivable student organization briefly described the activity he or she represented and the cri- terion for admission into that particular organi- The First Step zation. From language clubs to student govern- ment to yearbook, the freshmen listened, sti- fled yawns and fidgeted in their seats. The tedi- um was interrupted by masterful performances by the drill team, and the varsity cheerleaders regaled the embarrassingly unspirited fresh- men with Trojan cheers. Finally, maps were distributed and the new students were allowed to wander through the building on their own. Admitted one sheepish freshmen, ‘‘l would rather get lost today when it doesn’t matter than Monday when it does make a difference!”’ But for those who did not decipher the Midlo maze, there were crafty upperclassmen wait- ing with helpful hints: ‘Oh, you need the gym?

Diane Ma- munes and Lauren Boclair, while new to Midlothian, were not new to basketball. Both girls have played exten sively the past few years, and their playing here at Midlo was merely a transi- tion in their athletic development. Lauren, never having attended any type of basketball camp, enjoyed playing on the Midlothian team. Lauren started as a wing on the junior varsity team, but was promoted at mid-season to the varsity team. Basketball is not the only sport at which she excells, however. Lauren also played on the softball team, and swims and plays football as hobbies. Diane Mamunes played basketball on the Robious Middle School team last year, and intends to play for the Lady Trojans next year. Diane started the season on the varsity team, and played in every quarter on every game. Diane also played on the softball team at Midlothian. Both freshmen contributed greatly to the Midlothian athletic department, and their participation and achievement was espe- cially noteworthy.

Many students found plenty of time during the school day to enjoy themselves — whether it was talking hurriedly with friends, or walking the halls during lunch, or reading in the li- brary.

CPR is a series of basic medical procedures that anyone, when properly trained, can use to save the life of a victim of cardiac arrest. Involving split-second timing and ex- act knowledge of hand placement, CPR is a timely and useful tool. The American Heart Association has developed a lifelike human mannequin named ‘‘Resusci-Annie’”’ to aid students learn the CPR technique. Wired to re- spond to correct CPR procedures, and to sound an alarm when subjected to incorrect techniques, ‘‘Re- susci-Annie”’ proved an invaluable ally in attempts to learn this life-saving procedure. Freshmen had their lighter moments with the heartless ‘‘Annie,”’ as did the coaching staff. Coach Gabe Hicks spent consid- erable time seducing the cold Annie, and ultimately achieved his goal: he finally danced her around the classroom, whispering ‘‘sweet nothings”’ in her ear the whole time.

The fresh- men, contrary to popular belief, enhanced rather than hindered life at Midlothian. They contributed greatly to sports, clubs, and other school activities. The ninth-graders arrived at Midlothian expecting to discover unfriendly attitudes in endless, maze-like hallways. Within a week, however, they realized that a ma- jority of the upperclassmen accepted them as a vital part of the student popula- tion. Freshmen also found that a lot was ex- pected of them. Formerly classified as an official part of junior high school, they suddenly were reclassified as the youn- gest portion of the county high schools. They were expected to be mature, yet inconspicuous, and active, but quiet. So many confusing images and ideas sur- rounded the freshmen that it was no small wonder that they were bewildered. They were bombarded with more work than they had ever seen. They were as- signed journals, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and noticeably thicker textbooks. They were subtley informed that the fun and frolic of middle school was over, and it was finally time to work. The Class of 1984 mastered all the challenges of 1981 and lived through countless transitions. From orientation to June 5th, the freshmen proved again and again that they could be valuable addi- tions to the Midlothian student body. Freshmen 157 1.

Chesterfield Coun- ty’s teachers protested what they viewed as an inadequate salary increase by “working to the contract’ — that is, they performed only those duties specifically Outlined in their contracts. this caused a serious curtailment in homework assign- ments, testing severity, and after-school sponsorship of student activities. With two teachers actually leaving the profession because of the financial con- siderations and several new ones joining the staff, the faculty underwent tremen- dous transitions as the teaching staff at- tempted to guide the 950 students at Mid- lothian.

Because each administrator is le- gally the ‘‘parent’’ of each student during school hours, rules and regulations must necessarily be enforced so that the school staff knows where each student is at all times. While this has a tendency to “cramp”’ more independent-minded stu- dents, it is a very necessary legal obliga- tion of the three principals. Mr. Francis Poates spent another year as principal, overseeing the day-to-day operations of our school. Mr. Thornton Carter returned for his fourth year as as- sistant principal. Mr. Greg Hulcher, who taught biology and chemistry at Midloth- ian several years ago, returned in 1980- 81 as an assistant principal. These three men were the overseers of our school. In addition to their cumber- some office duties, they spent countless hours after school supervising athletic events, dramatic productions, and other school functions. In fact, it was not un- common for these administrators to log fifteen hour workdays. However, despite the long and demanding hours, all three were always alvailable for a quick smile and reassuring words. 160 Faculty Administration (above) Principal Francis Poates.

Guidance Relates to Students Helping to guide Midlothian students through the oftentimes difficult transitions of high school life were three guidance counselors — Mrs. Judy Goodwin, Mrs. Phyllis Jones, and Mrs. Dorothy Voight. With ready advice, quick smiles, and open doors, these three counselors stood ready to assist students with SAT problems, Achievement Test problems, schedule problems, and personal prob- lems. The seniors needed nelp with college applications. The juniors had problems with the PSAT and the SAT. The sopho- mores and freshman had trouble with course selections. All three ladies, with the diligent skills of secretary Joanne Barnes, were anxious to resolve some of the doubts, questions, and fears associ- ated with the transitions of high school life. Guidance Faculty 161 Getting the Job Done Many people work quietly and efficient- ly ‘‘behind the scenes’’ to insure the smooth, day-to-day functioning of the school. These people, the hardworking secretaries and teacher aides, worked so quietly, in fact, that many students were unaware of the great volume of work that passed throug h their hands each day. With the retirement of librarian Ruth Til- man last year, after 23 years at Midloth- ian, Mrs. Dorothy James and Mrs. Lynne Heflin joined the returning Mrs. Nina Han- cock in providing friendly, helpful assis- tance with every student’s need for infor- mation.

New Names The teaching profession has been un- der constant public pressure recently. The media contributed much to this new awareness. The public is showered with articles criticizing teachers. Teachers are leaving the profession annually to pur- sue other, higher paying careers. Despite this, Chesterfield county has had an influx of new teachers. Midlothian is no exception. This year we welcome a variety of additions to the faculty. The English department is glad to have Mrs. Lela Martin and Mrs. Kim Rennolds. Dr. William Rademker and Mr. Charles Davis are welcome additions to the Science de- partment. Mrs. Sharon Strong and Mess. Beverly Atkisson are welcome to the Business department. Mrs. Mercedes Tuggle joined Midlothian’s Foreign Lan- guage department, and Mrs. Mary Keys is new in the Math Department.

As athlete, coach, and spectator, Olsen dedicates himself to this love. Sports have made him the man we know today: competitive, disci- plined, respectful, involved. According to Olsen, ‘‘l cannot remember not playing sports.”’ As his father was at one time a boxer, he grew up in a sports-centered atmo- sphere. In high school Coach Olsen participated in football, basketball, baseball, and track. Through his involvement in these sports, he learned to respect rules and to practice self-disci- pline. Also, he was thrust into a competitive en- viornment, which has resulted in the competitive nature that emanates from him. In college, Olsen participated in football, base - ball, basketball, track, and golf. He excelled in baseball and was named all-American in this sport. Olsen was such a skilled player, in fact, that he was invited to tryout for the Cincinnati Reds. Spanish | jack of all sports The tryouts went well, but Olsen’s height pre- cluded that he play a certain position, and that position did not work out for him. Through the tryouts, Coach Olsen realized that he was not going to play professional sports. With this realization came the decision that he would coach. Although he could not be a professional athlete, he might be able to co ach a kid who could. Although golf is the only sport Olsen himself competes in regularly, he is involved actively, in the welfare of sports at Midlothian. According to Olsen, ‘‘My life is rolled up in Midlothian; | feel that | owe the school a lot.’’ Through his love and respect for sports and his unselfish dedication to Midlothian High School, Coach Olsen has instilled some of his admirable characteristics — com- petitiveness, dedication, respectfulness, involve- ment — in the school’s student bodies, past and present. We owe him a lot. Coach Olsen makes notes on Friday night strategies.

Teaching in Midlothian class- rooms for nine years, Mr. Duggan has earned the reputa- tion of being the staunchest Democrat in the building. His liberal views have aggravated countless conservative stu- dents, while his obvious knowledge and understanding with regard to current events is the envy of all he encoun- ters. Mr. Duggan hasn’t always been an extremely loyal Democrat. “| wasn’t involved in politics until | became a teacher. Other teachers first encouraged me to participate. I’ve been somewhat liberal ever since college — but! am from a conservative family.” At the University of Richmond, Mr. Duggan was instruct- ed by a political science professor who unknowingly en- couraged Duggan’s fledgling political interests. Since those days Mr. Duggan has worked at the polls for local Democratic candidates. He also has instilled in his stu- dents a sense of open-eyed awareness of the political world around them. While his liberal veiws usually encoun- ter strong opposition from students in the conservative Chesterfield County area, even those students disagree- ing with him find much to respect about Mr. Duggan. In fact, during the 1980 mock presidential election the name “‘Duggan”’ appeared on more than just a handful of official ballots. Could it be that this bearded, relaxed government teacher has political aspirations of his own? ‘No! I’m a homebody — besides, I’m not suited to that lifestyle.” Yet his eyes hold that curious, far-away look that ex- poses his true feelings. Maybe ... just maybe...

The members made weekly posters encourag- ing attendance and enthusiasm at athletic events, drew and distributed pro-Midlo leaflets, and planned themes for the games such as ‘‘Unknown Comic Night’”’ and ‘‘New Wave Night.’’ The club received some notoriety late in the basketball season when the Richmond Times-Dispatch mentioned the club and the roof-raising spirit of Midlo fans in general. ‘“‘Some nights they just won’t let us lose,’’ Coach Olsen was quoted as saying. The spirit promises to continue into next year as the club, comprised primarily of rising seniors, resumes action in the fall. Row one: Steve Jones, John Kelly, Greg Byrd.

A wrestlerette is a girl who works with the wrestling team during the wrestling season. Each was responsible for keeping score at match- es, keeping the wrestling mats spotless, supplying oranges and cold drinks, put- ting up posters advertising upcoming matches, taking care of small cuts and bruises, keeping statistics and times at practices, and many other things that go on within the sport of wrestling. This year there was a group of five hard-working girls who took on those re- sponsibilities. They were lead by Mrs. O’Dell. To have been a wrestlerette was hard, but rewarding work.

Each year carries a spirit — aspirit that is created by people, by places, by events. Our time is now. The twenty-fifth anniversary edition of the Trojan has captured that spirit and presents it here. The very best photographs need no caption, so we present the uncap- tioned eloquence of 1981... TRANSITIO ...AND BLACK-AND-WHITE ba e ‘ % ‘ : courtesy Beth Landi, The Gazette 208 Advertisements (left) Courtney Harris fills-in at the Miller Rhoads bakery while a co- worker takes a break. (below) Monica Littke in an ABC Store? No — it’s the Miller Rhoads wine department. Without the continued supports of local merchants, it would have been difficult for the Trojan staff to offer the 1981 year- book at the low price that was set. In addition to providing local employment opportunities to Midlothian students, these employers were eager to have their advertisements published in a perma- nently-bound record of contemporary memories. These businesses, many of which were located at Sycamore Square and Ches- terfield Mall, were generous patrons. Their support to the Midlothian students and to the Trojan staff was greatly appre- ciated.

COLOPHON Midlothian High School's twenty-fifth anniversary edition of the Trojan was published by Herff Jones Publishing Com- pany in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Press run: 665 copies of 224 pages. Cover: sil- ver silk-screen on antique blue back- ground featuring a theme logo connected with the book title. Type: 8, 10, 18, and 30 point Helvetica with medium. A majority of the black and white and color photo- graphs were taken and printed by student photographers. All faculty and student photographs and some special work was done by Olan Mills Studios. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS | wish to thank: Phyllis Miles, yearbook sponsor, whose good advice and hard work kept everything running with some semblance of order; Mike Smith, our Herff Jones represen- tative, who spent long hours repeated- ly correcting our mistakes; Bill Thompson, who took countless pic- tures of special events where special photographic equipment and skill was needed; Mr. Francis Poates, whose constant support and understanding helped us along the way. Editor's Page Only in the actual production of a year- book does one fully realize the true meaning of what is contained between the two cov- ers. It is evident after several weeks’ work that a yearbook is something more than pic- tures, copy, and layout forms. It is something alive, something that slowly grows. Finally, all the hours of work appear to have materi- alized into the final goal — over two hundred pages of life, the life of Midlothian High School for one year. This year the yearbook staff, consisting of seniors assisted by a staff of juniors, was placed in the challenging position of produc- ing the twenty-fifth Trojan. We received our greatest help by being handed such a year as the one just ended. In many respects Mid- lothian enjoyed its most unforgettable year. Nineteen eighty-one marked the end of sev- eral eras and at the same time the beginning of many more, making this year a milestone not only for Midlothian but for the Trojan as well. For the opportunity, the challenge of pro- ducing this yearbook, | thank Mrs. Phyllis Miles, the sponsor, and the yearbook staff — thank you for not falling to pieces when | demanded perfection.

To the casual observer, each student make the inevitable transition from high school to college. Yet there are subtler transitions caused not by the teachers or the studies, but by the school itself — its traditions, ideals, and reputation. Mid- lothian forces us all to accept the realiza- tion that we are all citizens of a much larger community than just Midlothian, Virginia. We come to realize that life is not about winning, but about sharing ... that real wealth is not about holding on to things, but about knowing how to let them go... This realization, this gradual transition, is what life is really all about. All of us will move forward through countless transitions. College life will seemingly overshadow everything that we have experienced thus far. The job market will seemingly force us to accept the harsh realities of today’s world. But ten years from now, or twenty years, or thirty years, we will be able to look back at these brief years — the high school years — and we will recognize them as the origin of all of life’s transitions, the period of our intense growth as individ- uals. We will recognize these years of smiles, frowns, tears, and joys — years of sharing and growing — the Midlothian years. This, the twenty-fifth anniversary edi- tion of the Midlothian Trojan, is one at- tempt to preserve these important years, an attempt to focus on the life of Midloth- ian High School during nineteen eighty- one. é PAing vile ny . ree a GS Beenie ian see ee Viet ie } ae rel sth o ay aipls 1010976536 OtDL OTA TAN HIGH SCHOOL NMI DLOTHIANw VA- TROJANS 1781- LH 37L-89?b M 194) O0e5-000 EE e—eeEEE————— . 25th anniversar ‘
