Midlothian High School Route 60 Midlothian, Virginia 23113 MOLOD?bS4b 1982: A Year For Reaching New Heights Life at Midlothian High School has been described using numerous adjectives, some posi- tive and some negative. Unique. Humdrum. Academically ori- ented. Fun. Boring. However the members of the school com- munity describe their place of learning, it has been the pur- pose of each edition of the Tro- jan to recapture the feelings and events that shape those descrip- tions. Each edition attempts to discern the peculiarities that make each year different from years past. The 1982 Trojan is no differ- ent in this respect. The staff has attempted to capture the re- newed level of excellence that gripped Midlothian in both the academic and extracurricular phases of school life. 1982 was a year for Reaching New Heights at Midlothian. Renewed excellence could be seen throughout the school. For example, the football team had one of its most successful efforts in years, finishing a strong 5-3- 2, and remaining a contender for the district title to the very end. Among the victories was a Homecoming upset victory of the Varina Blue Devils, a fitting end to the week’s festivities. These accomplishments sparked feelings of pride and enthusiasm which snowballed into the new year. Basketball season saw a return of the row- dy crowds that have become a trademark of the school. The continued winning ways of the Trojan cagers elevated school spirit further. (continued on page 5) 2 Reaching New Heights Pep Rallies were fun for players and fans alike.

Snow and ice storms devastated the central Virginia area throughout the winter months. The icy hand of winter forced the cancellation of school for the longest total number of days in recent years. The biggest storm of the winter chose the second day of mid- terms to unleash its fury. Some students remarked that they subsequently found it hard to enjoy the missed snow days with the threat of the rest of ex- ams hanging over their heads. Basketball, for many a weekly entertainment and social tradi- tion, was also thrown into pan- demonium by the snow. Some games were postponed as many as three times, causing confu- We’re number 1!!

This was the year that the decision came. After years of debate, the issue was decided by Chesterfield voters in a $22 million bond ref- erendum. There would indeed be a new Midlothian High School built. The new school, it was decided, would accommo- date 1500 students and would be situated in Midlothian Vil- lage, as is the present school. The present building, voters de- cided, would serve as a middle school. This was, for some, a very emotional issue. Many felt that although Midlothian had one of the strongest academic reputa- tions in the area, it lacked prop- er facilities. Some were sad- dened at the prospect of Mid- lothian High School being any- where but where it has stood for over sixty years. In any event, most agreed that the new school would provide added space, fa- cilities, and educational oppor- tunities for a school that is con- tinually reaching new heights. ee ee en cee Nr a RR RY Shaking to the beat.

For some, the hours spent practicing for a sport are the enjoyable hours. For stu- dent socialites, parties, dances, and sporting events reigned su- preme. For still others, the hours spent hitting the books will be the memories they retain as they progress in life. Some aspects of this curious “student life’’ consisted of hours of plan- ning, such as banquets, dances, and the Princess Talent Show. On the other hand, some of the best moments at Midlothian oc- curred spontaneously, such as the rowdy cheers of fans at bas- ketball games and the im- promptu snowball fights in the parking lots this winter. Stu- dent Life means living. It’s Spring Fever. It’s hanging out at Stuffy’s. It’s roaming the halls of Midlo after almost ev- eryone has gone home. All the things that constitute Student Life are the “new heights” that make Midlo fun.

What did these girls have in common? They were all members of aux- illiary squads, the Majorettes, the Pom Pon Squad, and the Honor Guard Drill Team. These dedicated girls spent endless hours practicing during the hot summer months. These intense workouts resulted in pressure enough, but the pres- sure only heightened when school began. Most squads practiced every afternoon dur- ing football season. The gruel- ing routine did not slacken up during the winter. The Major- ettes and Pom Pon squads had The Price of Perfection to prepare routines for half- time performances at basket- ball games, while the Drill Team struggled to perfect diffi- cult silent drills for national competitions. The marching band and aux- illiary squads garnered many compliments for halftime per- formances at football games. In addition, outstanding routines were presented throughout the year by the individual squads. The girls welcomed the oppor- tunity to travel to Canada in May with the band as a reward for their hard work and dedica- tion. All of the auxilliary squad members agreed that the sacri- fices required were well worth the extra effort. Dancing to the beat.

The word echoed through the halls of Midlo with all the raw power of a tidal wave. Weekends formed a gauge of time for most stu- dents and provided a brief res- pite from the academic pres- sures of the school week. The countdown usually be- gan about Wednesday. The lethargy of Monday morning doldrums had subsided and the thoughts began. “Hey, it’s mid- week!” Just two more days stood between the student and the seeming equivalent of heav- en. Thursday the enthusiasm continued to mount and by Fri- day afternoon the pressures all seemed to subside as “‘exuber- ant” was the only way to de- scribe the student body at last bell.

Parties, dates, movies, basketball and football games, and trips to the malls all charac- terized most students’ “ideal weekend.” Local fast food restaurants, especially Stuffy’s two area sub shops, provided weekend hang- outs for Midlo students. Some students used the weekend as a time to catch up on their more time-consuming assignments, and others preferred just to rev- el in the conspicuous lack of daily schoolwork. However Midlothian — stu- dents chose to spend those two days, they were undoubtedly the most popular forty-eight hours of the week.

Student Life Weekends 19 Let’s Hear It Recent years have seen a re- naissance in school spirit at Midlothian. The Class of 1980 set a new tradition in motion during the 1979-80 basketball season. Unusual themes and imaginative gimmicks have made Midlothian’s brand of fan support unusual and trendset- ting in the area. Three years ago a large group of fans traveled to an away game at Manchester attired as the New Wave rock group “Devo.” Midlo spirit has not been the same since. Immedi- ately the student body had a purpose: innovation at basket- ball games. The themes that year consisted of Arabian Night, New Wave Night and Beach Night to “ride the Pe- tersburg ‘wave.’ Students came in all manner of attire. Last year the school was led by male “cheerleader” Kyle Bowles as “Trojans are what? RED HOT!” echoed week after week through the Trojans gym- nasium. Theme nights were again the order of the day as Trojan fans donned paper bags and laughed at Colonial Heights on “Unknown Comic Night” and wore ties and po- Chris OBrion’s “MIDLO 1” license plates are easy to remember for any Trojan fan. 20 Student Life School Spirit For Spirit! litely held up signs on “Polite Night.” This year, led by the Propa- ganda Committee, basketball fans decided to be as original as possible. “Skeeter” Paige of Varina was greeted by dozens of Trojan fly swatters as we “swatted Skeeter. “l@y Bird was welcomed with a sea of Kentucky Fried Chicken buck- ets as Midlo “Kentucky Fried” the Skyhawks. And so it went. Rowdy cheers and rowdy gimmicks reflected intense interest in Midlo athlet- ics. Football, as well as basket- ball, reflected the innovative new approach to fan support at Midlothian. Hundreds of but- tons could be seen in the halls the week of the contest with neighborhood rival Monacan. Most students were adorned with pictures of (gasp!) under- wear as fans expressed their de- sire to ““De-brief Monacan” and ‘Beat the briefs off the Chiefs!” It was nothing if not a unique year for Midlothian school spir- it.

The awards assemblies held this year provided an opportunity for the athletes, coaches, and managers of Midlo’s sports pro- grams to gain a measure of rec- ognition. In addition to honor- ing the efforts and accomplish- ments of team play, the assem- blies were also a time to recog- nize outstanding individuals in each sport. Awards were pre- sented to the most valuable per- formers on each team and to that team’s most improved indi- vidual. The fall assembly included football, field hockey, girls’ bas- ketball, and cross country. The winter awards assembly hon- ored the participants in girls’ gymnastics, wrestling, and bas- ketball. Athletes and coaches Diane Mamunes accepts her Most Valuable Player award in girls’ basket- ball.

Presiding over each assembly was hard working Midlothian Athletic Director Pete Koste. Mr. Koste made a special pre- sentation to the cheerleaders at the winter assembly. He deemed the varsity squad wor- t hy of keeping their blue and gold megaphones, which are traditionally passed on from year to year. It was largely Mr. Koste’s or- ganizational efforts which en- abled the teams to participate and receive the recognition they deserved. He administrated the earning of varsity letters, the scheduling throughout the year, the overseeing of the athletic budget, and finally, the coordi- nating of each awards assem- bly. Covering the card tables, co-chairman Gail Pond rushes through last minute preparations. Setting Sail Work on the 1982 Junior- Senior Prom began weeks and even months before the desig- nated prom date of Saturday, April 24. The Prom Committee, led by Junior co-chairman Gail Pond and Mark Rinaldi, select- ed the theme “Sail Tahiti” for the dance. When that decision was made in December, prom plans began to roll. Sketches had to be made of the projected finished product. Many of the materials necessary to turn the gym into an “island retreat” had to be ordered from various companies, and that process be- gan in January. Much of the actual construc- tion was done in the final weeks and days before the prom. Preparing the island paradise, Maria Osborne and Diane Hartz cut shapes for a construction paper mural. “Palm trees” were made on April 3, and on April 5 the com- mittee began to sketch the mon- strous ocean scenes that cov- ered the walls of the gym. In the last few days before the dance, tables had to be moved, posters painted, and streamers hung. The process was speeded by the cooperation of many juniors with the committee. The result was, according to numerous teachers and dents, one of the most success- ful proms in recent Midlothian history. Said co-chairman Gail upon reflection on the massive organizational task, “It was a lot of hard work ... but well worth it in the end.” stu- Student Life Prom Prep 23 ‘An island beckons with a melodious chorus of tropical bird songs backed by an orches- tra of rustling palms and waves lapping at a white sandy beach . a refuge.” Although this passage was taken from a travel brochure of exotic vacations, it seemed an accurate description of the 1982 Midlothian Junior-Senior Prom. Basing their efforts on the theme “Sail Tahiti,” the Prom Committee transformed the starkness of the Midlo gym into a lush “island paradise. ” Indeed, the entrance to the dance, characterized by all the splendor of an island welcome, brought looks of disbelief from A Memorable surprised seniors who just “couldn’t believe” it was the gym. Each arriving couple crossed a flower-covered bridge to the door of the building. Once inside, the sights and sounds aroused thoughts of “Fantasy Island,” revisited. Lights and streamers bathed the walls in the greens and blues of Carribbean waters. Native drums and music provided ap- propriate music for a transpor- tation into Tahiti. Even “na- tives” welcomed the new arri- vals, as sophomore servers in colorful dress presented each newcomer with a kiss and a flowery lei.

Inside the gym, the theme “Sail Tahiti” seemed to come alive. Picturesque scenes of Ta- hitian beaches, waters, and vil- lages surrounded the festivities. The tables around the dance floor were shaded by palm trees, and the dancers were flanked by a native hut, con- structed on the west wall, anda large sailboat near the east. Even the refreshments room presented a truly tropical atmo- sphere. Surrounded by palm trees and flowers, prom goers drank punch from a fountain and ate fresh fruit. The music for “Sail Tahiti” was provided by the Union Pa- cific Band, repeating their 1981 appearance by popular de- mand. Midway through the evening their lead singer burst out with, “Are you having a good time?!” It was apparent that everyone was. When the dance’s end rolled around, it was the crowd’s reluctance to leave that ultimately — pro- claimed it a success. Everyone gathered up their jackets, purses, lei’s, and mem- ory books, gazed around at the “tropics” one last time, and slowly headed for the door. Teachers and students alike proclaimed it one of the most successful proms in_ recent Midlo history. “It was incredi- ble,” said one senior before leaving, “the juniors really did a fantastic job.” Leigh Wilder and her date discover the unique pleasures of a Tahitian evening.

A spring picnic provides a refreshing break for junior Catherine Greer and senior Chris OBrion. Rites of Spring The symptoms of “spring fe- ver’ varied widely from student to student. Overall, however, there seemed to be a subtle re- shuffling of values among the student body. With the first warm days of spring came the inevitable feeling that perhaps frisbee throwing was more im- portant than studying for that English quiz. Radios and tape players be- gan to appear in the halls and music could be heard blasting from cars, which, for the first time, left the student parking lot at 1:50 with their windows down. Another obvious symp- tom of spring fever was atten- tion to the all-important pre- summer tan. Students talked of “laying out” on the weekend, and many took advantage of the rays beating down at lunchtime on famed “‘Midlo Beach,” the grassy area near the student parking lot entrance. Whatever the characteristics of each student’s “spring fe- ver, one could be positive that it had actually set in by listen- ing to the exclamations that seemed to begin in the class- rooms and halls around April: “TI wish summer would get DeLeon To many athletes, such as Monica Pierce of the Girls’ Softball Team, spring means the fun and hard work of training for spring sports. Student Life Spring Fever 29 The differences in students’ popular tastes manifested themselves nowhere more clear- ly than in the area of music. Music,especially popular mu- sic, played an undeniable role in the lives of a large section of the student body. Musical tastes were inevitably as motley as the members of the student body. Although there were fans and enthusiasts of virtually any and every type of music, certain “distinctive” musical factions surfaced at Midlothian; one concerned largely with the past accomplishments of a group be- gun in the 1960's, and another looking to the future of the “new music” of groups of the present. The first was a group of en- thusiasts of the Grateful Dead, ranging from fanatic to rabidly obsessive. What is a true “Dead head”? “Someone who really likes and respects the music and the talent in the band,” said Todd Usry. “Someone not driv- en by the shirts, buttons, and other paraphernalia .. . actual- ly about 10 or 15% of the people who say they like the Dead.” Another visible group of musical enthusiasts at Midlo centered on the efforts of bands formed more recently. Such progressive artists as the Clash and Elvis Costello dominated the listening time of a large con- tingency of students. “Between us and the bands there is no ‘ad- miration, ‘deep respect,’ or ‘humble appreciation’ — only energy. All barriers are broken. Love of the energy, the flash, and the noise is the common bond. My friends and I,” said Eddie Dean, “prefer this noise called ‘true rock-n-roll’ to any other; and we prefer anarchy, if not in the state, in spirit.” 30 Student Life MusicWars aioasbi gg i tach egy Ret RE a ERA ion ee eg The Dead or the Clash?

Trojan athletic teams enjoyed their most successful seasons in recent history, while the student body and the community were enthusiastic about the intense district rivalries. No longer were the Trojans pitted against such long-time state powers as Petersburg High School, and the possibilities for winning sea- sons were unlimited. Football season was marked by many close games which kept Mid- lothian in contention for the dis- trict title until the very end. Similarly, the basketball team vied for the title throughout an injury-hampered season, while other teams, such as field hock- ey, strived to continue their winning traditions. Some sports had to make new beginnings. The boys’ tennis team was forced to regroup completely following the graduation of most of its state championship team. However, Midlothian’s sports were fortunate to have adept coaches, enthusiastic ath- letes, supportive fans, and the dedicated guidance of Athletic Director Mr. Pete Koste. These factors combined to lead the teams in reaching new heights.

Tough schedules and tougher breaks had spelled mediocrity in recent years, but 1981-82 was a yearfor... Exceeding Expectations If two words could character- ize the 1981 Trojan football season, they would be determi- nation and spirit. After a disap- pointing 2-7-1 record last year, the team rallied to finish the season with an overall record of 5-3-2. One driving force behind the team was the support of the student body. Trojan fans, led by the spirited “Propaganda” Committee, turned out each Friday night to show their sup- port. Stalwart fans continually suffered through nights of tor- rential rains and bitter cold, but the loyal support gave the team renewed incentive. Often home crowds included members of the community as well as the student body. With that kind of support, the Tro- jans, drawing from a student body of less than 1000, defeated arch-rival Monacan for the sec- ond straight year and emerged as a AA power. The victory was a phenomenal one, as Monacan is listed state group AAA and draws from a student body of over 1700. The season-opening victory surprised some critics who were skeptical of the Tro- jans’ potential. The game was a fitting springboard as the Tro- jans continued winning with a victory over Lloyd Bird in the next game. The team was physically smaller than most of its oppo- nents. Because of this disadvan- tage, the players and coaches worked harder to make up for their limitations. This regimen, added to a winning attitude, en- abled the team to finish fourth in the closely-contested Domin- ion District. In addition, several outstanding performances were recognized at the end of the sea- son. Seniors Stan Yukevich, Richard Pittman, and Rob Owens and junior Ben Thomp- son were chosen for the All-Dis- trict team. Yukevich was hon- ored further when he _ was named to the second team of both the offensive and defensive All-Metro teams.

Also, Rob Owens was selected as Best Of- fensive Lineman, and Bill Wat- son as Best Defensive Back. Charlene Johnson was given the Managers’ Award for her long hours of hard work helping the team. Coaches Gabe Hicks, Jack Olsen, Vatel Dixon, and Dennis Moody led the feisty Trojans to their most successful season in years. The opening win over Monacan was followed by vic- tories in the next four out of five outings. Tied scores with Ma- toaca and Thomas Dale and a disappointing 21-20 loss to the Powhatan Indians dashed the Trojans’ hopes for a spot in the regional playoffs. However, the success of the team exceeded most critics’ expectations as the Trojans remained district con- tenders for most of the season. Sports Varsity Football 37 Preparations Are Primary After years of mediocre J.V. football, Coach Dennis Moody provided a new and refreshing outlook to the team in 1981. He introduced fresh ideas and a new philosophy which changed the goal of the team. As he coached the J.V.’s for the first year, he asserted his philosophy that the team is a preparatory Stage for varsity football and not a totally independent squad. After a loss to Clover Hill at the outset of the season, the Trojans quickly recovered to tie Manchester and win decisive victories over Meadowbrook and Monacan. Overshadowed by the successful varsity squad, the J.V.’s lost steam and were overcome by Matoaca, Thomas Dale, and Powhatan towards the end of the season.

They utilized their stronger points to make up for their lack of height. Increasing the speed of the games was one of the methods used by the aggressive team, and this strategy pro- duced a winning season. The Lady Trojans ended the regular season with a record of thirteen wins and seven losses. Their view of success was not measured as much in wins and losses as it was in improvement, explained forward Leslie Davis. “We learned a lot about the game We overcame our weaknesses. The team didn’t have much height, so we made it a faster game,” she said. The girls agreed that the highlight of the season was their defeat of Thomas Dale by a score of 83 to 47, the most points scored by a Midlothian girls’ basketball team in the last ten years. Their team work and spirit also helped them to defeat a strong Colonial Heights team by one point in overtime.

Facing Defeat Losing is a difficult situation to face, and the JV girls’ basket- ball team faced defeat sixteen out of seventeen times in 1981. While the season was, of course, disappointing for the players, Coach Dalene Landes said that they gained a great deal of knowledge and _ experience through defeat. The team consisted of ninth and tenth graders, and for most, the season was a period of ma- turing. They took some of the emphasis off of winning and got enjoyment out of playing the games. Facing defeat without losing spirit took courage and confidence that the next game would bring success. “They had a lot of guts to keep coming out every time. I Concentrating intensely on the game, Christine Farabaugh stands prepared for any action which may come her way. think every time they thought they were going to win,” said Coach Landes. One reason for their losing season was the fact that the team was always changing. Several players joined the team late in the season, and others were promoted to the varsity team. Injuries removed more members from the team al- though some were able to play with their injuries. As the season reached its close, the girls struggled to keep their spirit up. Although they were thankful for their personal improvement and enjoyment during the season, their 1-16 re- cord left something to be de- sired.

Often this trait is obtained only after months of experience, but the 1981 girls’ field hockey team was inexperi- enced and young. Although only two starters returned from last year, the players held up surprisingly well under pres- sure; in fact, they thrived on the competition. Indicative of a young team, they began their season some- what slowly, but they quickly built up momentum which car- ried them all the way to the re- gional tournament.

Following the tra- dition of previous Midlothian field hockey teams, the team captured the district champion- ship. They lost to Bruton High School in the Regional tourna- ment by a score of 3 to 1. The deciding game for the district championship was the second match-up with Bird’s team. The pressure was intense because Midlothian and Bird were tied for first place in the Dominion district. Using the pressure to boost their adrena- lin, the girls came out on top by aiSCOre Ole. ton ls Although working well under pressure was an important as- set, the team could not have succeeded without talent. Much of the team’s success was attributed to several outstand- ing players. Seniors Susan McNice and Sharon Boswell led the Trojan offense. Susan, a team co-captain, scored nine goals and was. chosen as the most valuable player of the team. Defensive stand-outs were Joanne Gerow, Jane Phil- lips, Jennifer Wroniewicz, and Susan Holland, according to Coach Marjorie Brooks. Joanne Gerow was chosen as the team’s most improved player. “This year was Joanne’s first year,” commented team co- captain Geri Douglas. ‘She could hold up the defensive end of the team. In fact, she was probably the best defensive player we had.” Spontaneous pressure, com- bined with the legacy of Mid- lothian’s past record of unde- feated seasons, formed an ever present drive to succeed throughout the season. The team did not collapse under this stress, though. Instead, they used it to increase their deter- mination. Said Geri Douglas, “We played better when we were be- hind...

Falling to Varina and Meadow- brook early in the season, the Trojans realized that they had to get back to basics. With only one returning runner (Greg Dil- lon), the team spent many hard hours practicing and training. Their efforts were rewarded with decisive victories over Highland Springs and Colonial Heights. In the District meet the Trojans placed sixth with Scott McCumber distinguish- ing himself by qualifying for the All-District and All-Regional teams. McCumber placed thir- teenth in the Regional meet, and his work throughout the season earned him the title of most valuable runner of the 1981 team.

Scores like 15-50 (low score wins) were not uncommon as the Lady Tro- jans smashed Powhatan, Trin- ity, Bird and Clover Hill by over fifteen points each. The end of the regular season found the girls entering the District meet with a first place standing in the regular season. ae Personal achievements reached new heights as Sara Laposata placed first in the Dis- tricts and second in the Region- als.

Winning Is Routine Just as gymnasts seem to be born with grace and strength, winning was an inherent char- acteristic of the boys’ and girls’ gymnastics teams. Both teams concluded their seasons with one loss each, and they led the district in regular season com- petition. The girls’ team, coached by Ms. Kathy Beaumont, ended their season with a 6 and | re- cord. They were first in regular season district competition, but lost to Varina in a close district championship meet. Outstanding individual per- formances added to the season’s success.

Blair Marshall re- presented young talent on the team; he competed in all six events as a freshman. Though they lost one meet to Monacan High School, it was also one of the best meets of the season. As Andy Johnson de- scribed the meet, “Everybody hit their routines. We were all happy with ourselves though we lost.” Both teams excelled in com- petition, but personal achieve- ments of the members may have outweighed their admirable win-loss records.

Up and Down Pre-season newspaper polls predicted that the boys’ varsity basketball team would be only moderately successful. Fortu- nately, this prediction proved to be incorrect when the Trojans completed the season with a re- cord of thirteen wins and eight losses. That showing earned the team a ranking of fourth in the Dominion District. Early victories over Varina and Powhatan incited players and fans alike as the entire school community got into the spirit of the games. Christmas break provided an opportunity for the players to rest and gear up for the remainder of the games. For Stan Yukevich, a key starter, it was a welcome Opportunity to recover fully from a bout with mononucleo- SIS. January was a month of ex- citing victories, disappointing losses, and cancelled games. Snow interrupted the season and caused the team to miss many practices.

A one-point loss at home to Colonial Heights dem- onstrated the effect that the crowd’s support had on the team when the Trojans were later defeated by forty points in front of a partisan crowd at Co- lonial Heights. The season ended on a disap- pointing note when the team was defeated by Varina in the first round of the Dominion District tournament. However, Coach Jack Olsen emphasized that the final record was “‘still better than previously expect- ed.”’ Win or lose, the games cre- ated interest in the student body as the Trojans rejoiced and suf- fered through a season that was both Up and Down.

Al- though many of the games were close, the team members usual- ly left the court after these games with a feeling of dismay. The team consisted of seven freshmen and eight sopho- mores, and the starting line-up contained four freshmen by the end of the season. Not only did the young team lack experience, but also it lacked height. These two factors, combined with in- consistent outside shooting, led to their numerous defeats, ac- cording to Coach Pete Koste. The season seemed to be over-ridden with disappointing close defeats. The JV Trojans lost by four points in overtime to Varina then returned the next night to be defeated by Ma- toaca by a heartbreaking two points. The team’s leading player was freshman Larry Dean, who had an advantage over his oppo- nents because he is left-handed. His aggressive playing style and clear, level-headed thinking contributed to his success as one of the team’s guards. Dean’s ef- forts earned him a spot on the varsity tea m in the latter part of the season. Although they had some tal- ented players, the Trojans did not have enough depth of that talent. As they won only four games out of twenty during the season, the young team gained experience, but they failed to get enough momentum going to produce a winning season.

Samson Leads Wrestling Success Maintaining weight is an im- portant aspect of a wrestler’s life, and team members regulat- ed their diets constantly to “make weight” in different competitive classe s. John Sam- son, although he weighed only 112 pounds, stood out as Mid- lothian’s leading wrestler with a regular season record of thir- teen wins and _ two _ losses. Backed by Allen Stacy, Terry Biringer, and other determined wrestlers, the team enjoyed its most successful record since 1975. Although an overall record of SiX wins, eight losses, and one tie indicates a losing season, the team turned in many outstand- ing performances. Samson, Stacy, and Biringer qualified for the State AA tournament, where Samson placed third in his weight division. Also, Stacy won the Lloyd C. Bird Christ- mas Tournament in the 98 pound division. Both Samson and Stacy set school records for the fastest pins in their weight classes. The support of the entire team created the depth needed to win matches. In the dual meet against Meadowbrook Louis Utsch wrestled two weight classes higher than nor- mal, and his opponent, Charlie Toney, was heavily favored to win. Unwilling to succumb to the odds, Utsch defeated Toney by two points, thus breaking Toney’s undefeated record. This victory and T.K. Far- leigh’s unexpected win gave the Trojans enough points to pro- duce an upset victory. Utsch’s weight predicament is common to wrestling, and many tactics are used by the wrestlers to gain or lose weight in order to qualify for their divi- sions. As might be expected, losing weight is often the more difficult of the two tasks. Team members accomplished _ this goal by fasting for several days prior to matches and by losing water weight by running while dressed in several layers of sweat suits. Through hard work, dedication, and outstand- ing personal achievements, the wrestlers were able to complete a successful season. Scoreboard Record: 4-4-] Opponent Matoaca Manchester Lloyd C.

A Powerful Balance Combining powerful offen- sive and defensive forces was the key to success for the soccer team. Remaining undefeated throughout the regular season, the team compiled an over-all record of twelve wins and one loss. Players attributed their outstanding season to the bal- ance of talented players on the team. Rob Owens and_ Harvey Henn led the offense with over thirty goals between them. Rob Boclair played the first stage of defense at the center halfback position, and full back stand- outs Bill Watson and Peter Ma- munes bolstered Midlothian’s defensive force. Sami AAssar, playing the last defensive posi- tion of sweeper, often prevented the ball from reaching the goal- le or the net. As the soccer season began to approach its end, the team re- mained undefeated. Looming ahead was the game against Powhatan, another undefeated team, and the players nervously awaited the game. The playing proved brutal as both teams clashed in an aggressive game, yet Midlothian showed its strength by defeating their op- ponents by a score of 5 to 0. The team’s only loss came from AAA Monacan_ High School in a home tournament in May. After they reached the fi- nal match, Midlothian lost 0 to |, and placed second in the tour- nament. Still, victory reigned over the season. Peter Mamunes attri- butes the smooth teamwork to the fact that most of the players have been on the same team for four years.

The hard work did not pay off in many team victories, but several track athletes en- joyed personal best efforts. Coach Bill Schneider focused his coaching efforts on improve- ment of individual perfor- mances rather than on scoring points. He saw potential in ath- letes in all events, but the team did not have enough depth of talent to create a winning team. Pole vaulters Eric Faison and Brian Robinson were two of the outstanding team members. Faison qualified for the state meet by tying for third place at regionals. Robinson also com- peted in the state champion- ships after placing fifth in re- gionals. Scott McCumber excelled in the distance events.

Sports Boys’ Track 63 Distance Runners Were the Key — Experienced distance run- ners and inexperienced sprint- ers was again the story of the girls’ track team. With a record of five and four, the team bat- tled four early season defeats to come back with six strong victo- ries. Dominated by underclass- men, the team had a tremen- dous roster of fifty girls as the season started.

Amy McCarthy and Cindy Penning- ton chalked up points in the shot put and discus, also. Cindy Henry distinguished herself in the hurdles, sprints, and middle distance events. Allison Bur- ford excelled in sprinting events, while Debbie Black and Leslie Davis did as well in the high jump. Although the track and field runners were inexperienced, ‘Coach Crozier emphasized that the knowledge and experience they gained will pay off next year. As usual the distance events were Midlo’s strength. Most of the distance runners had exper- ience from the Cross-Country team or from last year’s track team. Both Becky Conklin and Sara Laposata had important wins that greatly contributed to the success of the entire Girls’ Track team. Because of her running prowess and overall contributions to the team, Becky Conklin was awarded the Most Valuable Runner award. Coach Crozier pointed out one difference in this year’s team. Participants in each event also took an interest in the re- sults of the rest of the team. Al- though team spirit reached a new high, dwindling member- ship was a handicap. Many girls joined for the physical aspect and dropped off the team when competition began. Despite dif- ficulties, twenty-four team members went to districts.

Never- theless, the team finished the season with a disappointing five wins and thirteen losses. Playing with one freshman and four sophomores, the varsi- ty was young and somewhat in- experienced; however, several outstanding upperclassmen led the team with experience. Keith Boitnott and James Cahoon played first and third bases, re- spectively, and shared the pitching position. Andy Dewey, and infielder, alternated be- tween second and third bases. The J.V. team, although it lost several players to the varsi- ty team, enjoyed a winning sea- son of nine wins and seven losses, This team was also young with five eighth graders, nine freshmen, and only two sophomores; yet they did not lack playing experience.

For years, winning tennis seasons have been a tradition at Midlothian, and this year was no exception. Led by Catherine Greer and Diane Wolfe, the Lady Trojans captured both the district championships and the Region I AA championships. These victories enabled the team to compete for the state title at Radford. As the season began, critics predicted that the team’s youth would hurt them but this theory was proven incorrect as the girls racked up a 9 and 0 record in the district. Under the coaching of Loraine Wilkinson, the total- ly underclassman team won both the district and region tournaments. Captain Cather- ine Greer, and Co-Captain Diane Wolfe, and Diane Calder all contributed undefeated indi- vidual performances. Many other achievements were attained during the sea- son. Michelle Rice, Rebecca Rice, Lauren Ellis, Vaughan Gibson, Cathy McNice and many others won key victories, while Diane Calder and Cath- erine Greer won the Dominion District doubles championship. In addition, Greer placed sec- ond in the district singles tour- nament. With every member returning, next year promises to be a possible record season for Midlothian Girl’s tennis.

This ambition was to make Midlothian superi- or in all areas of academics, or- ganizations, and sports. Each class had its own distinguishing feature. The ninth graders joined forces to gain a charac- teristic other than youth, and pep rallies were no longer just a time for seniors to “get rowdy” as the freshmen section repeat- edly won the spirit stick. Sopho- mores suffered through the last year of required P.E. classes and anxiously awaited behind- the-wheel sessions required for getting their driver’s licenses. Most juniors found that the ju- nior year was the hardest as they strived to keep up with tough courses while planning the Prom and worrying about SAT scores. For the seniors, the year meant not only the joy of graduating, but also the indeci- sion and worry of planning for the future. The Bash, Class Day, and Skip Day all signified the end of a phase of life, and many seniors sadly realized that they were leaving their high school friends behind as they embarked on new lives. Each class encountered and conquered their own special ob- stacles but in doing so combined in an effective force which en- hanced the reputation of the school. Classes ih. Seniors Class of ’82 A diversified yet unified group was an apt description of the class of 1982. The students had many different interests. Some devoted themselves to sports while others’ ideas of be- ing athletic was an occasional game of tennis. Others were en- | grossed in music. Several groups such as The Grateful — Dead, The Rolling Stones, and — The Clash developed large fol- lowings in the senior class. De- _ bates were often heard in the halls of Midlothian based on the — merits of these groups. The fashion world did not ef- fect the mode in which the sen- © iors dressed. Anything from overalls to New Wave outfits — were worn. Seniors’ plans for the future varied, also. Some | aye ee = cilia ieitl students attended the Chester- i ie ie aes field County Technical Center - . ms | Hatt where they prepared for a tech- nical career, while others strived towards making the grades for admission into col- lege. Even though there was a great variation in life styles among the class of °82, a sense of unity could be felt whenever it was gathered together. At pep rallies the seniors proudly sat together in their traditional area of the bleachers. At sport- ing events the seniors rousingly supported the various Trojan teams. The unity was also-evi- dent in the numbers of seniors who attended the Senior Ban- quet. The colorful diversity of the class of ’82 will be remem- bered, but also remembered will be it’s comaraderie. : RS RE ORE TY ET Class Officers: Chris Lindsey, Chap- lain; Dena Hylton, Secretary; Lisa Rin- aldi, Treasurer; Chris OBrion, Vice- President; Steve, Jones, President. 76 Seniors Seniors Ole Sami AAssar: “Pooh-Bear”: Junior Transfer; Soccer 11, 12 — All District 11; French Club 11, 12 — President 12; Literary Magazine 11; German Club 11; NHS 11, 12; SHF 12; Propaganda Committee 12.

Though these privileges do not seem like very much, they were thoroughly enjoyed by the class of °82. They were particu- larly enjoyed because the spirit and sense of unity of the class was greater than it had been in many years.

This combined with the two : minutes early dismissal gav the seniors a chance to avoid the — rush to get home after school. These privileges lent a special air to being a senior and helped - the class of ’82 to reach new heights in class spirit.

At The Top Reaching the top twenty in the senior class ranking is a goal of many students in a school with intense academic competi- tion such as Midlothian. Mem- bers of the top twenty are often social and extracurricular lead- ers as well as academic stan- douts. The top twenty included the SCA President, the Senior Class President, the Yearbook editor, captains of athletic teams, and officers of many clubs. 92 Seniors Seniors 1982's top twenty seniors have many auspicious college plans. Their college choices in- clude The Univ. of Virginia, Harvard, the Univ. of North Carolina, Duke, MIT, Dart- mouth, Oberlin, William and Mary, Georgetown, VCU, Hampden-Sydney, and Va. Tech. These high achievers will surely earn further honors as they attend the prestigious in- stitutions. “kt Top Twenty Seniors: Front: Dana Handy, Jane Boyer, Kathy Ranney, Becky — Slemp.

On Class Day, Superlatives were awarded in categories ranging from “Class Clown” to “Most Dependable.” Seniors first nominated a boy and a girl in each category, and then the top nominees were compiled by the Senior Council. The actual voting proved to be a difficult task for most seniors. Which senior has the “Best Per- sonality’? Even tougher, who is the “Best All-Around”? Many students voted for their friends; however, others gave serious thought to the merit of the nomi- nees. The results of the voting brought recognition to twenty-one seniors. Notably, Chris OBrion re- ceived three awards — “Most Tal- ented,” “Most School Spirited,” and “Best Personality.” Eric Pat- terson was also recognized in three categories —- “Most Athletic,” “Best Dressed,” and “Best Build.” Double winners included Stan Yu- kevich, Kendall Houghton, Beth Strine, Liz Hodder, and Chris Lindsey.

Poates and Mrs. Judith Goodwin awarded scholarships from many differ- ent civic and school groups. No- table among the “big winners” were Kendall Houghton, Lisa Lyons, Stan Yukevich, and _ Sami AAssar. Also, the top sen- iors with at least a 3.6 grade point average were given gold — tassels to distinguish them at — Baccalaureate and Graduation.

However, it also brought tears as the seniors re- - alized that their good times to- gether were coming to an end. John Kelly and Chris OBrion wrote and read the History, adding their usual brand of hu- mor (puns) to it. Tears could be seen in the eyes of many seniors as Liz Hodder sang two very emotion- _alsongs. Her renditions of “The Way We Were” and “Out Here On My Own” brought on tear- ful emotions not only because of their special meanings, but also because many seniors realized that it was the last time they would hear talented Liz sing.

They were urged to accept the challenges the future has to offer and to make the most of the adversities they will encounter. Bon Air Baptist Church was once again the site where the seniors were first able to wear their caps and gowns. The Rev- erend Doctor Paul E. Crandall, Minister of Pastoral Visitation, presided over the service. Sen- ior Class Chaplain Christine Michelle Lindsey delivered a meaningful meditation as she told her classmates to look to the future and not dwell on the good times in the past.

After the speeches and the in- vocation delivered by Dr. Ray Pollard, the students began re- ceiving their long-awaited di- plomas. As each graduate d e- scended the ramp they proudly changed their tassles from the left of their hats to the right. After the benediction, the foot- ball field was filled with gradu- ates, friends, and relatives cele- brating. Jubilation on the faces of the graduates was captured in many photographs that will be cherished for many years. Seniors Graduation 103 The best adjective to describe the junior year is “action- packed.” The students are sub- jected to tough courses, several batteries of tests, and numerous extra-curricular activities. The class of °83 found that their ju- nior year lived up to its reputa- tion of being the busiest year of high school. Many juniors found it hard to find time to do their homework because of other school activi- ties. Prime among these events was the prom. Countless hours were spent planning, organiz- ing, and actually carrying out the dance for the seniors. The juniors had to take many standardized tests, including SRA’s and PSAT’s. Many also took SAT’s in the spring. In ad- dition, class ranks were com- puted in the spring and served as an incentive for many juniors to work harder in order to im- prove their position in the class. The juniors made it through the year knowing that next year they would be seniors. When they received class rings in the fall, the ring served as a remind- er of what lay ahead. The class of °83 was already looking ahead to the day it graduates.

Junior-year grades carry a lot of weight in college admission decisions, and SAT?’s are also a very important consideration. Class ranks were revealed during the second semester, and some juniors were surprised at either their high or low position in the class.

The Scotland Yard Band gained a reputation in the school and has begun to receive notice in the community. Their first “gig” was at the James River Boat Club in April 1981, and several engagements fol- lowed. Playing at the Robious Mid- dle School Christmas Dance was nostalgic for the band members. The Robious stu- dents rocked to the songs of such groups as the Rolling 110 Juniors Stones, the Beatles, and the Kinks. Also, Midlo Latin Club members were treated to a con- cert at their Christmas Banquet and the Virginia Latin Conven- tion. Band members Tim O’Toole, Kevin Scruggs, Chip Knappen- berger, David Knight, and Greg Carleton put in a lot of hard hours practicing. They were re- warded with an_ increasing number of engagements and the admiration of their peers. Besides playing bass guitar, David Knight is a backup vocalist.

Bill added much to the pre- viously boring announcements. Students and teachers alike ap- preciated his jovial manner which made the announce- ments interesting.

On the 83rd turn the lucky turner received a kiss from the ring’s owner. This superstitious ceremony was a way to cele- brate receiving these long- awaited symbols of the upper- classman. However, more than that, the practice of ring turn- ing gave the proud owner a chance to subtly show off their new rings. 4 Class rings are proudly displayed by ju- niors as they collect turns until they reach the magical “83.” Juniors Working her way to number 83, Donna Sage gets yet one more person to turn her new ring.

They felt much older than the lowly freshman, yet they were not quite old enough to be com- pletely accepted socially by the juniors and seniors. Many things are unique to each sophomore year. The stu- dents had to endure their last year of required physical educa- tion, but along with the passage of this course came the opportu- nity to obtain a driver’s license. Driving gave the sophomores a new sense of freedom and matu- rity. The sophomores were chal- lenged academically, also, as they took increasingly difficult courses. Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar was read and interpret- ed by each student as a require- ment of tenth grade English. Also, math and biology courses were taken by most tenth grad- ers, The sophomore class endured the year as they anticipated their rise to upperclass status. The students joined together as they await their graduation as the class of 1984.

No longer would they have to depend entirely on Mom and Dad to take them every- where. Social lives were less re- stricted when sophomores did not have to “bum” rides off of upperclassmen. The little card that is a Vir- ginia Driver's License was earned after many hours spent in the classroom and in behind- the-wheel sessions. As Coach Hicks drilled into his students, “driving is a privilege, not a right.” As they gradually turned sixteen, the sophomores themselves began chauffeuring their younger friends around. Only then did they realize the responsibility that they had un- | dertaken. With the obstacle of turning sixteen and obtaining their li- censes behind them, the sopho- mores began looking forward to additional milestones that await them.

Complaints ranged from laziness to dislike of the drab uniforms. However, most of the unrest stemmed from the routine of “dressing out,” and the knowledge that it was the last year of remembering to take home a smelly uniform and socks to be washed every Fri- day. Avoiding “dressing out” be- came an art as students used ev- ery excuse possible, from “Mom didn’t wash my gym- suit” to “somebody stole my gymsuit.” In addition, sopho- more P.E. included driver’s education, a necessary evil for getting a driver’s license.

Sophomores Sophomores —_— Freshmen Class of °85 What questions are on the mind of a newly arrived fresh- man on the first day of school at Midlo? Where is Room 206? What if I hate my teachers? What if I just can’t hack high school? The transition from the world of middle school to the academic and social pressures of high school is an important and a potentially difficult one. Most freshmen, however, re- solved to make the change a positive one and emerged with flying colors. For the most part, they had no choice: they asked an upperclassman where Room 206 was, they adjusted to their teachers, and they simply found a way to hack high school. Many freshmen involved them- selves in extracurricular pro- grams right away. Four mem- bers of the J.V. cheerleading squad were freshmen who tried out while still attending Ro- bious Middle School. The J.V. basketball team boasted six freshmen. This year’s freshmen made their mark unusually ear- ly in their Midlo careers: the re- sults were evident.

Most freshmen need at least a few months to adjust to high school before they can feel at ease in the Midlothian lime- light. A few freshmen, however, make the transition with re- markable ease. Such was the case with Larry Dean. Perhaps Larry’s love of sports, notably basketball and golf, contributed to his immedi- ate acceptance in Midlothian circles. He was a constant start- er on the J.V. basketball team, and his ballhandling abilities 130 Freshmen basketball” and court savvy later earned him an elevation to the varsity roster. Larry is also one of the top golfers on the Midlothian golf team. But while he is always ea- ger to walk the fairways, bas- ketball remains his true love. “I live for basketball,” the fresh- man says. Only time will tell if Larry’s whirlwind involvement in Mid- lothian extracurricular activi- ties will continue, but if this year is any indication, Midloth- ian could see Larry set records for ““most involved.” Larry Dean takes advantage of study hall to relax and talk with friends.

They had, of course, heard frighten- ing rumors about “killer” ex- ams and consequently many students were very nervous when exam time arrived in the middle of January. The Big Snow of 1982 caused the con- tinual postponement of exams, and the delays only served to further rattle the freshmen’s nerves.

These changes often included physical adjustments as well as social and academic differences. Con- sequently, many ninth graders wore glasses and braces to cor- rect their eyesight and straight- en their teeth. “Four Eyes” and “Brace Face” are typical childish taunts for students who wear glasses or braces. Presumably, Midlo students were mature enough to avoid such teasing; nevertheless, the glasses and braces added to the insecurities of the freshmen. They looked forward to the day when they would get contact lenses or when their braces would be re- moved. Smiling broadly, Holly Florence is not self-conscious about wearing braces and glasses.

The one outstanding feature that separated the ninth graders from the rest of the stu- dent body was their shortness. Sometimes the situation was laughable — a six-foot senior walking beside a less than five- foot freshmen. Many of the freshmen were self-conscious about their height. They held a low social status already, and their short- ness made them very conspicu- ous. Height (or a lack of it) is something that cannot be hid- den. Since they could not do anything about it, the freshmen had to bear with their shortness. Six-foot-two Ronnie Hobson towers over freshman Jim Starkey.

However, the class of °85 repeatedly won the spirit stick (to the disgust of many seniors!).

Mrs. Judith Goodwin, Mrs. Phyllis Jones, and Mrs. Doro- thy Voight helped the students to formulate a program of study suitable to their future voca- tional or academic goals. 140 Freshmen In addition, the freshmen re- lied on parents, older brothers and sisters, and older friends to help them plan their studies for the next four years.

Their educational philosophies may vary, but their goal of preparing young people to be successful in life was com- mon to all. Helping students achieve their best in the class- room, on a sports field, in re- gional or state competitions, or on a stage took countless hours; and the teachers and adminis- trators gave their time willingly toward this end. For Mr. Dug- gan, helping the SCA represen- tatives plan Homecoming meant guiding them even in their choice of bands for the dance. Mrs. Robertson accom- panied her Latin students to conventions and _ certamens where they demonstrated their superior knowledge of the lan- guage. The coaching staffs of the sports teams seldom left the field or the building before nightfall. Not only did the teachers prepare lessons for their classes, but they also as- sumed the role of students themselves. They took classes and participated in workshops which sharpened their skills and knowledge. The difficulty of these classes challenged the teachers as well as increased their wealth of knowledge to share with students. All of the educators strived to increase student awareness and open new vistas of learning.

Being a school administrator is a demanding job which en- compasses every facet of the school community. In the 1981- 82 school year, no one knew this fact as well as our trio of admin- istrators, Mr. Francis Poates, Mr. Thornton Carter, and Mr. Gregory Hulcher. Between arranging class schedules, counseling troubled students, and supporting teach- ers, these three faces were seen constantly around the halls of Midlothian. Sometimes these men were greeted cheerfully but at other times they were purposefully avoided by devious students trying to get away with something. Assistant principal, Mr. Gregory Hulcher, opened the school year with a freshman class orientation program. He urged the class of ’85 to meet the challenges of Midlothian both in academics and extra curricular activities. In addition to all their duties, during the sports seasons these three men took a genuine inter- est in our players and their per- formances. On cold rainy nights, Mr. Poates stood during most of the football games, watching and applauding the efforts of the Trojans. Mr. Carter faithfully came and sup- Filling out forms is just one of the in- valuable tasks that Mrs. Shirley Wauters performed daily. Rising To The Challenge ported the Midlothian wrestling team, while Mr. Hulcher at- tended many basketball games. Whether a student or teacher encountered our administrators in their offices or on duty in the cafetria or halls, it was obvious to all that each of these three men enjoyed and took pride in overseeing the activities of Mid- lothian High School. The efficient operation of school business was carried out by the office staff. The office staff consisted of three women, Mrs. Frances Lavender, Mrs. Alease Frady, and Mrs. Shirley Wauters, who shared the re- sponsibilities. Mrs. Frances Lavender answered the phone, wrote dismissals and absentee notes, and generally manged the comings and goings of the office. Mrs. Alease Frady handled all the accounts and ledgers for the general school funds and for separate clubs and organiza- tions within the school, while Mrs. Shirley Wauters typed and kept attendance records of each student. These three women com- bined with our three adminis- trators made it possible for the school to function in an orderly and proper fashion. Making announcements to the student body on disciplinary matters is one way Mr. Gregory Hulcher enforced the rules. Extending Helpful Hands High school is only a stepping stone to future plans. Students were fortunate enough to havea Guidance Department that worked throughout the year to counsel them on both their high school curriculum and _ their post-graduation plans. Mrs. Dorothy Voight, Mrs. Phyllis Jones, and Mrs. Judy Goodwin worked with the aid of Mrs. Joanne Barnes to help students find a direction for their talents and dreams. Not only the Guidance De- partment provided guidance throughout the year. The li- brarians, Mrs. Dorothy James and Mrs. Nina Hancock and li- Questioningly, Mrs. Nina Hancock asks Mrs. Dorothy James to repeat what she requested. Her candid smile shows how much Mrs. Phyllis Jones enjoys her work. 146 Faculty brary clerk Mrs. Lynn Heflin were always there to assist stu- dents with their research. Along with giving their assis- tance, they also went out of their way to call around for books our library did not have or for extra books with informa- tion that would help in re- searching a topic. As a result of the friendliness and smiling faces of the librar- ians, students found that the li- brary was a pleasant place. The librarians’ helpfulness _ dis- placed the dread that many stu- dents felt when a research paper was assigned. Checking through schedules, Mrs. Joanne Barnes helps the counselors by calling a student to guidance. Working hard, Mrs. Dorothy Voight fills out yet another application for a college-bound senior.

Faculty 147 Dedication Plus Commitment When Midlothian students are asked why they take Latin, the most common answer is that it is more fun than German, French, and Spanish. Mrs. Sue Robertson makes learning Lat- in enjoyable for students by pro- viding opportunities for many diverse language activities. She is a very dedicated teacher who spends much of her free time sponsoring Latin club activities. Each year Mrs. Robertson travels to state and national Latin conventions with her stu- dents. Due to excellent teach- ing, Midlothian students have traditionally garnered many academic awards at conven- tions. More than once her stu- dents have been elected to statewide offices, and this year Kendall Houghton became the first Midlothian student to be elected to the National Junior Classical League.

Lesson plans had to be pre- pared, papers had to be correct- ed, and new materials had to be studied. Also, teams had to be coached and club activities had to be sponsored. Amid all these tasks some teachers even found time for extra classes. Seeking advice, Mrs. Joyce Smith asks Mr. Don Currie for help on her re- search. Many teachers at Midlothian were students themselves in the 1981-82 school year, furthering their own educations. Some were working towards another degree, while others were up- dating their knowledge of sub- jects to teach their students. Students at Midlothian were proud of the teachers. Their hard work not only benefitted the teachers themselves but also the students. This combined with conscientious students kept the school one of the best in the state academically.

Extra- curricular activities provided an opportunity for learning as well as for achievement and recogni- tion. For example, drama en- thusiasts gained valuable ex- perience and exposure in the three plays presented by the Drama Department. The Battle of the Brains team spent long hours learning trivial facts and figures, but they were rewarded with the prestige of television appearances. The National Honor Society gave deserved awards to top students, while the Forensics team served as an outlet for students who enjoy public speaking. Vocationally inclined students were afforded the opportunity to attend the Chesterfield Technical Center and learn a technical skill. Events outside of school also added to the academic excel- lence of Midlothian. Several po- litical figures lectured govern- ment classes throughout the year, and select students at- tended conventions and politi- cal discussions. Midlothian’s academic superiority was prev- alent outside of the classroom as well as in the prescribed cur- riculum. Academics 153 e Boys’ State delegates (Mark Murray, Summer Events Broaden Horizons scm Summer is a season of relax- ation and renewal.

Stan Yukevich and Steve Jones represented the school at the Governor’s School for the Gifted. Because no grades or tests are given, the Governor’s School is run in a relaxed atmo- sphere and recreation is empha- sized. Both Stan and Steve agreed that making friends from all over the state was the best part of the program. Seven students had the honor of attending Virginia’s Boys’ and Girls’ States. Mark Mur- ray, Tommy Tierney, and Glenn Dyke attended Boys’ State. Linda Phillips, Janice McElwee, Kendall Houghton, and Lisa Lyons attended its conterpart. They learned through active participation how the government functions and were able to participate in mock elections. Two students spent the sum- mer outside the United States. Glenn Dyke’s Spanish im- proved immensely during his stay with a family in Spain, and Becky Conklin’s dream of visit- ing France became a reality. Both were able to visit these countries due to scholarships sponsored by the Language De- partment. Visiting the country of their language proved to be an educational as well as an en- joyable experience. The summer of 1981 for these students was very special. The students regretted leaving their new freinds, but all eager- ly returned home to renew old acquaintances and start the school year anew. 154 Academics Summer Programs eet A arty vee | te eae —-—. fig 9 =o bet s eiedibenn a ee ee oe ae en eS Gifted students Steve Jones and Stan Yukevich enjoy recalling certain “inci- dents” at Governor’s School.

The summer event is the source of many memorable and often un- usual experiences for students annually. The Midlothian representa- tives’ contributions helped the Virginia delegation to place first in the athletic competition and second in academic and graphic skills. In addition to in- dividual honors, the Virginia basketball team, consisting of five Midlo students, took first place. The Virginia volleyball team, including five Midlo stu- dents, also won first place. Kendall Houghton, with the assistance of her campaign manager Steve Jones, was elect- ed National Historian. She be- came the first Chesterfield County student to ever hold a national office in the Junior Classical League. Also, Kevin Scruggs was appointed to be the 1981-82 Virginia Junior Classi- cal League Historian. The Latin students retain many fond memories of their week at Convention. Other members of the Midlothian Latin Club have caught the spirit and enthusiam of those students who attended the con- vention. Mrs. Robertson hopes that even more Latin students will attend the 1982 National Convention. “It only takes one NJCL Convention to get hooked, and you don’t want to miss any.” 7—hb ( Ais mete Gey ai Roman times are relived by students on the “Old Day in Rome” at National Convention.

These speakers were campaigning for state elections, and the school appearances were beneficial to both the candidates and the stu- dents. The visits were arranged by a government teacher, Mr. Richard Duggan. The first guest was Mr. Wy- att Durrette, a candidate for the state office of Attorney Gener- al. His visit featured questions from the government students. The students asked questions dealing with such controversial issues as uniform sentencing and the Equal Rights Amend- ment. This question and answer platform was videotaped, and from viewing it, government students learned a great deal about the office of Attorney On the spot.

He brought with him a_ special guest of honor, Mrs. Niki Cole- man. She is the wife of Mr. Marshall Coleman, who ran for the office of Governor of Vir- ginia. She successfully ex- plained her own personal views on campaign issues as well as the views of her husband. The students found the visits both informative and interest- ing. In addition, these visits helped the voting seniors deter- mine which candidates to sup- port. The speakers not only ex- pressed their views, but also asked for the students’ opinions and answered the students’ questions. Through this ex- change of views, the students learned much about state gov- ernment and the candidates. In return, the speakers learned the needs and wants of Midlothian students. Academics Speakers 157 The Prisoner of Second Avenue This winter the Drama De- partment presented not just one, but two plays. From De- cember 9-12 on alternating nights, Play it Again, Sam and The Prisoner of Second Avenue were shown. Because of the stu- dents’ desire to make things run smoothly, the department was successful in offering audiences the two comedy hits. The Prisoner of Second Ave- nue was presented to the stu- dent body in a matinee in addi- tion to the evening perfor- mances. Students eagerly sought the chance to be excused from fifth and sixth period classes as well as to see the Neil Simon comedy. The students found the modern comedy a re- freshing change of pace com- pared to former, more serious plays. The Prisoner of Second Ave- nue involved the modern frus- trations of life in urban Amer- ica that a couple (portrayed by Jack Spencer and- Bobbie Rob- inson) experience. The play hu- morously showed how the Edi- son couple coped with their problems. The audience readily identified with the feelings of Mel and Edna Edison. The Edison’s first exper- ienced financial problems when their apartment was robbed and Mel was fired from his job. Un- able to find employment or to cope with frustration, Mel had a nervous breakdown. With the help of his wife, he pulled him- self out of his slump. Together Mel and Edna learned to accept life with humour. The production was a critical success. The small cast worked together with the guidance of director Mrs. Katherine Baugher and student director Robyn Hall to present the hu- morous play to enthusiastic au- diences. During the intermission, Jack Spencer and Bobbie Robinson double-check lines for the next scene. 158 Academics Prisoner of Second Avenue Unable to take the strain, Mel Edison (Jack Spencer) exhibits his lunacy to his wife, Edna (Bobbie Robinson).

In Allan’s imagination, Dick Christie (Scott Pollard) warns Allan (Bruce Henshaw) to stay away from his wife. Play It Again, Sam The Drama Department pre- sented a sparkling rendition of Play It Again, Sam. In the Woody Allen comedy, Allan Felix (Bruce Henshaw) lost all of his self-confidence when he was dumped by his wife, Nancy (Susan McCreary). His friends, Dick and Linda Chris- tie (Scott Pollard and Jeannie Boiseneau), arranged several blind dates for him in order to boost his ego. These bizarre dates were with females who definitely were not the girl- | next-door type. Allan’s imagination had an active role in the play. An avid fan of Humphrey Bogart (Ter- rence O’Toole), Allan wished that he could have Bogey’s tal- ent with women. In several in- stances Bogey “appeared” and gave Allan advice. With the la- dykiller Humphrey Bogart as his guide, how could he fail? A deadly scene?? Bruce Henshaw and Susan McCreary ham it up during in- termission. Well, with Allan it was easy. Allan finally came to realize that he had fallen in love with Linda Christie, his best friend’s wife. On the big night alone with Linda, he was on his own because Nancy, his former wife, appeared in his imagina- tion and shot Bogey. When AI- lan expressed his feelings to Linda, she admitted that she thought she was in love with him, too. However, she decided that she must return to her hus- band. Play It Again, Sam did as well as The Prisoner of Second Avenue. Though the two plays were comedies, they were quite different from each other. The two plays complimented each other well. The casts worked to- gether to make the plays a suc- cess under the supervision of Mrs. Katherine Baugher and student directors Becky Slemp and Robyn Hall. The two com- edies combined to provide a double treat for the audiences. Academics Play It Again, Sam 161 With a tender kiss, King Arthur (Scott Pollard) exhibits his undying love for Guenevere (Edie Morgan). � = Camelot The Drama and Music De- partments presented the musi- cal Camelot on May 5-8 and also at a special matinee perfor- mance on May 14. Based on the legend of King Arthur and the knights of the Round Table, Camelot recounted the roman- tic days of chivalry in the Mid- dle Ages. The audience became entranced with this tale of ad- venture, magic, and love. Justice, love, and betrayal were underlying themes of Camelot. King Arthur (Scott Pollard), a crusader for justice, created the Round Table in hopes of making Camelot a uto- pian society. His one love was Guenevere (Edie Morgan), Queen of Camelot. However, she and Lancelot (Adam Har- ris), the bravest of the knights, fell in love. Evil Mordred (Mark Lyons) used this fact to create dissention among the Reciting words of love, Lancelot (Adam Harris) attempts to win the heart of Guenevere (Edie Morgan). Celebrating the arrival of spring, Queen Guenevere (Edie Morgan) rejoices with the towns people of Camelot. knights. Thus, the musical end- ed with the shattering of King Arthur’s dream of a pure and just society. The musical was a produc- tion that entailed the labor of many groups. The construction crew created the backdrop and scenery that was essential to the atmosphere of Medieval Eng- land. The stage crew worked to make the technical aspects of the production run smoothly. Members of the band and or- chestra prepared weeks in ad- vance in order to learn the musi- cal instrumentation of Camelot. The cast had to concentrate on choral skills as well as dramatic interpretations. These students worked under the guidance of director Katherine Baugher, vocal director Rebecca Wright, and instrumental director James G. Hale. The amount of time spent working on the musical was evi- dent in the wonderfully pro- duced musical. However, the hours of work and practice were rewarded with enthusiastic au- diences. Audiences left the musical awed by the profession- alism of the students and the magical realism of the musical. Academics Camelot 163 You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown The Drama II class produced the musical You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown by Charles Schulz. Kathy Ranney and Stephanie Lombardo directed the musical, and the cast was composed of members of the Drama II class and selected members of the Drama I class. The cast received assistance from Mrs. Baugher, Miss Wright, the stagecraft class, and others in the production of the musical. The musical is a comic strip tale of the trials and tribula- tions of Charlie Brown (por- trayed by Pat Anonick) and his friends. During the course of the play, Charlie Brown had problems meeting the little red- headed girl, managing his base- ball team, and flying his kite. Scott Pollard played the role of Linus, blanket and all. Crabby and bossy Lucy was portrayed by Sue McCreary. Bridget Chisholm played the part of tomboy Peppermint Patty. Su- san Ellis had the difficult role of Charlie Brown’s dog, Snoopy. In the role of Schroeder, David Lamberton spent most of his time escaping the clutches of Lucy. At the end of the play, Lucy told Charlie Brown that he was a good man after all. Because of the lighthearted nature of the musical, Mrs. Baugher decided to show it to elementary students during school on two occasions. The children had the opportunity to ask questions and give their opinions about the play. The production was offered to the general public for only one night; the cast, student direc- tors, and crew all performed ad- mirably.

Verbal expression has never been lacking at Midlothian High School, often much to the teachers’ dismay. However, a certain group of students per- fected their verbal skills with the blessings of the teachers. Both the Debate Team and the Forensics Team won honors and contributed to Midlothian’s tro- phy case. Students and faculty alike are proud of these elo- quent speakers that represent Midlothian High School in ora- tory contests. This year was a period of transition for the Debate Team. The team was composed of in- terested members of the Debate Club and sponsored by Ms. Kim Rennolds. Though small in number, the club was full of en- thusiasm and verbal skill. With only a few graduating students, the club and the team hopes to grow within the next few years. The Forensics Team was composed of students who re- present the school in individual divisions. These divisions were Boys’ and Girls’ Poetry, Boys’ and Girls’ Prose, Boys’ and Girls’ Oratory, Boys’ and Girls’ Extemporaneous Speaking, and Spelling. The team won the school trophy at Regionals for the greatest total points. The accomplishments of the team are evidence of hours of prac- tice with the guidance of Mrs. Katherine Baugher, the Drama instructor. The achievements of the De- bate Team and the Forensics Team indicated the high caliber of students who attended Mid- lothian High School. Even the teachers fell victim to the per- suasive manner of their speech. The accomplishments of these two teams showed that students who like to talk and argue can become successes if they make the most of their skills. Mem- bers of both the Debate Team and the Forensics Team expect to move on up in the world of oratory. 166 Academics Debate and Forensics During a Debate Club Meeting, Ms. Kim Rennolds discusses with Heather Barefoot a new approach to debating.

Academics Debate and Forensics 167 An Exchange of Cultural Experiences Language Week was a fun- filled week in which students learned the cultures and man- ners of other countries. This special week featured a volley- ball tournament between lan- guage students, a tasters’ sup- per, and a teachers’ exchange. Language Week is a Midloth- ian tradition that language stu- dents look forward to each year. The event offers students study- ing Latin, French, Spanish, or German the opportunity to learn the similarities and differ- ences between different coun- tries and languages. The visit from exchange stu- dents proved to be an especially enlightening event this year. Several exchange students from various countries were inter- viewed by the Midlothian stu- dents. Different issues, ranging from rock music to anti-Ameri- 168 Academics Language Week canism, were discussed. From the visit, Midlothian students discovered the lifestyles and problems in different countries. Overall, the visit by the ex- change students was Language Week’s most educational fea- ture. Each language offered at Midlothian entered a boys’ and girls’ team for the volleyball tournament. Students, loyal to their language, considered the game to be more than just a game. Here was the chance to show the dominance of one lan- guage over the others. The boys’ tournament and girls’ tourna- ment were held on different afternoons. The team repre- senting Latin won the boys’ tournament. The girls’ tourna- ment was won by the team of Spanish students. The volley- ball tournament allowed stu- Discussing their views, exchange stu- dents are interested in each others’ ex- periences.

The Tasters’ Supper was at- tended by students and adults from all parts of Chesterfield County. Students supplied the foreign dishes for the event. For a small fee, members of the community could feast on the foreign dishes. The money made from the dinner was used for the language scholarships given to deserving students. Spanish student Alicia White was this year’s lucky winner. One event of Language Week that students enjoyed was the teacher exchange. On that day, language students experienced studying a different language. It was a change of routine for the students and allowed each student to learn about a differ- ent country and _ language. Teachers also found it a re- freshing change to teach a new group of students. Language Week succeeded in bringing the language stu- dents closer together. The ex- periences and _ knowledge gained from this one week helped the students develop a new perspective of foreign lan- guages as a whole. In addition Language Week allowed stu- dents to view life outside the United States. The study of for- eign languages is of vital impor- tance not only for educational purposes, but also for the devel- opment of positive attitudes to- ward foreign countries. Lan- guage Week is a tradition that will be carried on for many years to come. In the volleyball tournament, Latin stu- dents and French students vie for the trophy.

Academics Language Week 169 Academic Heights One of Midlothian’s most prestigious clubs, the National Honor Society, is composed of students who combine a 3.6 grade point average with high standards in both character and leadership. This year twenty-six new members were inducted into the National Honor Soci- ety through the annual tapping ceremony, thus boosting the club’s membership total to thir- ty-six. Sponsor Mrs. Virginia Justis led the organization in func- tions that were both varied and numerous. The club participat- ed in the SCA Christmas pro- ject, sponsored two generous student scholarships (one for an NHS member, another for a student from the student body at large), and selected the ““teachers-of-the-year.” The NHS constantly at- tempted to bring money into its coffers to fund these events; this year, members old candy bars to raise money. Clearly, the Na- tional Honor Society reflects Midlothian’s dedication to both academic excellence and civic responsibility.

The time spent in class is only a small part of these large- ly extracurricular activities. Band, orchestra, and chorus students spent many _ hours practicing and performing out- side of school. Concert band began march- ing practice two weeks before school started, and the hard work paid off with spectacular football halftime shows and pa- rade performances. Led by drum majors Brian Louthan and Leslie Davis, the band marched in two parades, in- cluding a frigid Williamsburg Christmas Parade. In addition, the band received a superior 172 Academics Band, Chorus, and Orchestra Working To Play rating in the County Band Fes- tival. In May the band traveled to Ottawa, Canada and held three public concerts; this trip was partially funded by a yard sale earlier in the spring. Chorus members had an equally full schedule. Constant- ly preparing for performances, they spent class periods practic- ing breathing, posture, and singing exercises. Among other performances, they sang in a Winter Concert in December and a chorus festival in the spring. In the festival competi- tion, ensemble, mixed, and girls’ choruses received excel- lent and superior ratings. Hours of practice produced success for the orchestra. In fes- tival competition they received a rating of “excellent.” With the guidance of Mr. Trevett, the orchestra director, they perfect- ed their talent with the classics. Members of all three music groups excelled in individual competition. Nine chorus mem- bers, eight band members, and orchestra members won All- Regional honors. Vikki Dorsey and Scott Pollard were chosen as alternates in the All- Virginia Chorus. Sophomore Mark Ly- ons achieved a position in the All-State band by his audition on the clarinet. In the orchestra division, David Knight won All- State honors for his cello talent. Hard work on the part of musi- cal students brought honors to all three musical groups as well as to individuals.

Diversity Is The Key To Success Midlothian High School is made up of students of varied interests and skills. Two differ- ent types of students have at- tained heights of success in their particular fields. The stu- dents on the Battle of the Brains Team and the students in the Tech Center program both achieved several accomplish- ments. The members of the Battle of the Brains Team were Stan Yu- kevich (Captain), Lisa Lyons, Tim O’Toole, Rena Zieve, and Steve Jones (alternate). The team held practices once a week under the guidance of Mrs. Burchett, their sponsor. On a few occasions, the team com- peted against a team composed of Midlothian teachers for practice. When the moment came for the actual competition against Godwin High School, however, the team had an ill- fated defeat. Due to admitted errors on the part of the judges, the team had a loss which right- ly should have been a victory. The team appealed this injus- tice, but the judges’ decision was final. The Chesterfield Technical Center offers students the op- portunity to develop technical skills. Auto mechanics, elec- tronics, nursing, and hairdress- ing are just a few of the pro- grams that are offered. The stu- dents were able to spend three hours of the school day at the Tech Center, thus preparing for future vocations. Both groups of students re- presented the school admirably. Although the Battle of the Brains Team’s loss was disap- pointing, they joined the Tech Center students in demonstrat- ing -the superiority of Midloth- ian throughout the community. Working with computers at the Tech Center, Lisa Ricker gains invaluable experience for a future career. A career in hairdressing is a possibility for Leslie Lee, who appears amused by her latest creation at the Tech Center.

Extracurricular opportunities played as large a role in student life as did aca- demics. Although classes offi- cially ended at 1:50, most stu- dents poured out of the class- rooms and library and into club meetings and practice sessions. The clubs and activities offered were indeed diverse, and variety abounded. A student could in- volve himself in the organiza- tional efforts of preparing the literary magazine, or paint signs for a basketball game with the “Propaganda” Committee. There was something for almost everyone. Student effort was the main proponent of most club activities and when affairs did not run smoothly the stu- dents assumed the blame. Frus- tration, organization, head- aches, and utter joy: all were elements of making the organi- zations run effectively.

Measuring precisely, Junior Becky Conklin draws a sports page with com- plete accuracy. The production of a yearbook is a very complicated and in- volved process. Many hours of work were spent by the dedi- cated staff to produce the 1982 Trojan. The students used their study hall to work on the book, but in addition they spent many hours outside of class doing such things as writing copy and drawing layouts. Sponsor Mrs. Phyllis Miles and editor Linda Phillips guid- ed the largely inexperienced staff who quickly learned how much hard work was involved in the publication. Dedicated pho- tographers took and developed countless pictures and were fre- quently badgered for photo- graphs as deadlines ap- proached. However, the staff felt that the 1982 Trojan would “reach new heights” in excel- lence and that the school would be proud of the accomplish- ment.

They began their season by attending the National Cheerleader Asso- ciation Clinic at Randolph-Ma- con Women’s College during July. The J.V. squad won supe- rior and excellent ribbons, and the combined efforts of the squads won them a spirit stick, symbolizing their spirited en- thusiasm. The girls brought their spirit home from the camp. They gave many memorable performances at pep rallies, ranging from a shaving cream tug-of-war be- tween varsity cheerleaders and football players to a tricycle race among football players and coaches. Both squads played against the Pep Club in the an- nual Homecoming Powder- Puff football game. The. J.V.

Basketball fans were awed by the silent drill performed at halftime of a game, and their admiration was some consolation to the girls when Nationals were cancelled.

The homeroom representatives and officers had the responsibility of deciding what actions would be taken to achieve these goals at their monthly meetings. At Christmas, needy families were the recipients of toys, clothing, and food donated by various clubs, and the SCA co- ordinated this project. The homerooms collected food for several weeks and clubs made donations in the form of toys and clothing contributed by members or purchases made from the club’s treasury. The SCA also demonstrated its coordinating abilities during Homecoming. It was responsi- ble for arranging nearly every aspect of Homecoming Week. Committees were formed to au- dition various bands and to pro- vide refreshments and decora- 10. The Student Council was also responsible for organizing the Homecoming Parade. This involved ensuring that each float followed all specifications and was in its proper place at the start of the parade. The Princess Talent Show and elec- tion of the Homecoming Queen were among the SCA’s other activities during Homecoming. In addition to the special ac- tivities at Christmas and Homecoming, the Student Council provided daily services. Each morning the Vice Presi- dent, Bill Fischer, read the morning announcements, noti- fying the student body of var- ious Club meetings and other ac- tivities of the day. SCA treasur- er Mike Weiss operated the bookstore each morning before homeroom, providing items such as paper, notebooks, pens and other school supplies.

Hungry students and teach- ers were able to satisfy their ap- petites on Monday afternoons by patronizing the bake sales sponsored by the literary maga- zine. The magazine found that extra money-making projects such as bake sales were neces- sary to meet the spiraling cost of publishing the magazine. Raising money was just one of the responsibilities as the greater task lay in the produc- tion of a body of poetry, essays, short stories, photographs and drawings by the student body. The hours spent in lay-out labs and assembling the actual mag- azine were rewarded by the completion of the work which was sold to the student body.

This involved shelving books, covering new books, and pasting pockets in the books. They were also re- sponsible for writing overdue notices and stamping books.

Although they partici- pated in several of the same ac- tivities, such as the Homecom- ing Parade and Language Week, the scope of their activi- ties varied greatly. The Latin club was perhaps the largest of the language clubs and by far the most active, while the Ger- man Club had a much smaller membership. A trip to Busch Gardens on October 3 kicked off the y ear for German Club members. They spent the day there and experienced the German “‘Ok- toberfest” as well as challeng- ing Busch Garden’s famed “Loch Ness Monster” and oth- er thrilling rides. They had a Christmas progressive dinner in which each course of the dinner was eaten at a different club member’s home. They also held a picnic and softball game in the spring. Latin Club members demonstrated a superior ability in scholastic achievements this year. Their most noted accom- plishments were at the Virginia Junior Classical League Con- vention in Norfolk, Virginia. Thirteen Latin students also competed at the National Ju- nior Classical League Conven- tion in Oxford, Ohio. Kendall Houghton was elected National Stacy Helfrich, Amy McCarthy, The- resa Reynolds, Grayce Campbell, Su- san Hardaway, Cindy White, Chad Karl.

Club members also par- ticipated in county-wide certa- mina, a competition similar to “Battle of the Brains.” The up- per level team, composed of Latin IV and V students, placed in the finals at virtually every competition. The Latin Club’s activities were not limited to scholastic activities. The Fall Latin Ban- quet featured a buffet dinner and music by the Scotland Yard Band. The highlight of the evening was the slave auction at which students attending the banquet for the first time were “sold” to the other club mem- bers. These slaves had to obey their “master’s” every com- mand. Another banquet was held in the spring for Latin students throughout the county at L.C. Bird High School. Students were provided with an opportu- nity to “do as the Romans do” as they dressed in Roman togas and feasted on Roman food.

A Unique Style of Spirit The Propaganda Committee was a driving force behind spirit at Midlothian this year. Chris OBrion, committee chairman, summed up the group’s ideals, “We felt that the approach to spirit at Midlothian had been unchanged for years and was boring. From the start our main goal was to make spirit at Midlo something uniqu e — different from every other school in the area. Our second goal was to overthrow the government.” Their goals seem to have be- Clad in sunglasses and short skirts, Chris OBrion and Steve Jones make their entrance at a home basketball game. Plotting their next move, Chris OBrion, Mark Murray, and Steve Jones strive to bring Midlo fans’ enthusiasm to a peak. come a reality as the Propagan- da Committee was one of the most successful clubs at Mid- lothian. Among Propaganda’s many activities this year was the pur- chase of Committee tee-shirts, the sale of “University of Mid- lothian” tee-shirts, and the do- nation of a new American flag for the gym. They were known best for the distribution of inno- vative flyers to publicize bas- ketball and football games and to give directions to the away games. Thanks to the Propa- ganda Committee, spirit at Midlothian is now stronger than ever.

Dropping in for an after school snack is a common practice of students. The close proximity of the Pharmacy makes it a popular spot with students. Working at Ukrop’s is a way some stu- dents earn spending money. Chris Kar- dian helps a customer with her grocer- ies. reaching new heights in Ads The economic hardships that affected the nation also touched the finances of students. Social lives became expensive proposi- tions as money grew tighter and prices rose steadily. More and more dates consisted of a night at home watching cable TV rather than “blowing” seven dollars on a movie, plus the cost of refreshments. Many students had to find part-time jobs to supplement their spending money when parents were forced to limit allowances. Similarly, businesses suffered from the recession and conse- quently decreased their adver- tising budgets. Thus, soliciting advertisements was a challeng- ing job for Trojan staff mem- bers. They could count on the continued support of such boosters as Ukrop’s and Wat- kin’s Nurseries, but enlisting the aid of new advertisers proved difficult. The opening of the Midlothian Station shop- ping center helped when several stores and restaurants, such as Villa Pizza, purchased advertis- ing space. Trojan staffers rose to the occasion as they perse- vered in seeking out the amount of advertising income essential to the publication of the year- book. A very warm thank you is extended to all advertisers who generously spent their money in support of the publication of the 1982 Trojan.

Together 1982 was an _ outstanding year at Midlothian in many ways. New heights were reached in all areas of school activities, both academic and extracurricular. How could these achievements be account- ed for? Perhaps the best expla- nation was the general mood or outlook of the student body, the faculty, and the administration. These three groups worked closely together, and a sense of comaraderie was _ prevalent throughout the school. Without the combined efforts of many people, Homecoming Week would not have been the over- whelming success that it was. For the first time in years, the Trojans were victorious on the football field, and the Saturday night dance was a true celebra- tion. Many reasons could be found for the unique bonding of stu- dents and faculty. A smaller student body paved the way for smaller classes, and many teachers found that they could relate better to less students. Also, a renewed feeling of pa- triotism throughout the country was transmitted to the students. Seemingly, the present genera- tion, the high schoolers of the Stopping by Stuffy’s on their way home from school, Carole Hartsfield, Chris Walking through the halls, Kostas Ro- zos, a student from Greece, finds that he likes American life. OBrion, and Jane Sorenson order their sandwiches. 1980’s, are more receptive to traditions and guidelines than past generations. Academically, a peak of ex- cellence rarely before exceeded was realized. The senior class was composed of many top stu- dents who will now go on to fine academic institutions and spread Midlothian’s prestige nationwide. Certainly many of the new achievements will carry on in future years. The successful sports teams. The active clubs. The fine drama department. The superior academic reputa- tion. But most of all, the exem- plary relationship between the members of the school commu- nity — their comaraderie made it possible for the school to excel in reaching new heights. The class of 1982 stands on the hill by the tennis courts waiting to get their picture taken. Watching from the sidelines, Brock Os- borne and Bill Fischer await their turn to play in the soccer game. bho ht Closing 3 The production of this year- book was a monumental task. The staff, Mrs. Miles, and I set out to publish the finest book ever at Midlothian — to reach new heights in excellence. I sin- cerely believe that we have ac- complished this task to the best of our ability. I demanded perfection from the staff as they spent countless hours writing copy, drawing layouts, and taking pictures. At times I grew impatient, but I hope they realize that the atten- tion we gave to detail is what makes this book the fine publi- cation that it is. Many people contributed to the effort, and I would especial- ly like to extend my thanks to Mr. Poates, Mr. Carter, and Mr. Hulcher for their support throughout the year. Mike Smith, our Herff Jones Repre- sentative, provided invaluable guidance to the entire staff. I would like to thank him for an- swering all of my questions and for easing my mind when I would call him in a panic over some seemingly insurmount- able problem. Also, Chris OBrion deserves . special recognition. His draw- ing was used to emboss the cov- er of this book and it is a fine example of his talent. Most of all, I wish there was some way that I could ade- quately express my gratitude to Mrs. Miles. She helped me put a perspective on tough situa- tions and made me laugh more Colophon Midlothian High School’s Volume 26 of the Trojan was published by Herff Jones Pub- lishing Company in Gettys- burg, Pennsylvania.

Thanks, Mr. Miles, for the hours you spent working and worrying with me. This edition of the Trojan contains many different memo- ries for many people. To me, it means a lot of hard work, but along with that hard work comes a feeling of satisfaction, the kind of satisfaction felt when a job has been successful- ly completed. So, to my classmates in the class of 1982, I dedicate this yearbook. Our years at Mid- lothian have meant a great deal to us all. Now, as we graduate and our lives take on new di- mensions, I hope that this year- book will serve as a reminder of a lot of happy memories at Mid- lothian.
