CLOCKWISE: DURING HALF TIME OF THE The time spent away from school or classes was an important and valued part of the year for everyone. Student life was the point when classmates became friends and a school became Midlothian. Aca- demics, sports, and people combined to make the distinctive student life of Midlo. With the large student body, individuality was a prevailing characteristic, but it was precisely this individuality that united and formed life at Midlo. The whole school joined in homecom- ing activities and the ‘Going Out in Style” theme. The junior class later devoted much time and funds to honoring the Class of 1984 with yet another spectacular prom. Music fans remembered the many concerts attended and the fun times ac- companying them. But “big events’ did not occur every week and it was everyday happenings that composed the majority of student life. Whether it was the five minutes socializing POWDER PUFF GAME, Seniors Lauren Ellis and Stacey Elliot discuss the game plan.

As a break from school, many participated in outside activities or worked for various employers. Another type of free time for the student was the long-awaited weekend. The week- end allowed time to work on homework or time to go out with friends. Parties re- mained the highlight of the weekend. However, the number of willing hosts and hostesses diminished, and students resort- ed to other forms of entertainment. Foot- ball and basketball games and local restau- rants were places to meet and organize. Some students watched cable movies or went to local cinemas, despite the high ad- mission prices. Throughout the year students sought ways to spend free time and make new friends, and in this they created a point where a school assumed a personality of individuality and distinction.

GOING OUT IN STYLE The freshman class partici- pated in their first homecoming by electing Christy Hodge, Melissa Ramos, and Ginger Southall. The sophomore prin- cesses were Meredith Dona- hue, Julie Hulett, and Susan Matthews. The juniors, who will uphold Homecoming tradi- tions at the new Midlothian, Debbie Adams, Rebecca kice, and Marjorie Winslow were the princesses. The seniors, knowing that one of their can-. didates would be the 1984 Homecoming Queen, chose Ann-Margaret Baron, Debbie Black, Lauren Ellis, and Terry Lawler. Debbie Black was cho- sen Homecoming Queen of 1984 and Lauren Ellis stood as her Maid of Honor. Homecoming Week finished on Saturday night with the an- nual dance. Mellow tunes were furnished by the “Lazy Boys,” 12 Life Homecoming who played selections from the Grateful Dead and the Rolling Stones. . The decorations were the results of a hardwork- ing committee and were defi- nitely appropriate to the theme, ‘Going Out in Style.” Top hats, bow ties, gold glitter and night spot signs gave the otherwise drab cafeteria a per- fect ambience. . So Homecoming ‘83 passed, and would go down in the his- tory of the school. It was a final tribute to the energy and inno- — vation of students and faculty, and surely was one of the great turning points of 1983. TAKING A BREAK, Lance Wood — and Ginger Southall have ex- hausted their efforts to dance to the “Lazy Boys.” PRINCESS DEBBIE ADAMS and her father make their way through a tunnel of rifles.

Alive for the first time at a pep rally in their four year history, the class of ‘84 expressed a spirit never thought possible. Senior spirit. Only seniors can appreciate its magnitude, its energy. This special feeling began with the realization that graduation would really happen. College applications were completed in February and SAT scores forgotten. Academic worries lessened as the majority focused on having fun and celebrating, senior slump had set in. Envious students looked on as several lucky seniors were admitted early to colleges such as Duke, James Madison, UVA, and Wake Forest. Everyone was eager to leave the place they had spent so much of their lives. Leaving high school elicited a variety of emotions from the seniors, including joy as well as sadness, and curiousity as well as apprehension. The freedom waiting just ahead, the curiousity about the future, and the endless array of options combined to make a turning point in their lives and to form a senior spirit. It was unique to the graduating class and drew them together until graduation on June 12, when they were broken apart — the last graduating class of the original Midlothian High School. WITH MIXED EMOTIONS the senior princesses Terry Lawler, Debbie Black, and Lauren Ellis contemplate their last homecom- ing at Midlothian. EXPRESSIONS OF SENIOR SPIRIT are captured during a pep rally, one of the few occasions when the entire class of '84 is brought together to share their enthusiasm. Seniors Life 13 !

The sen- iors were, coached by Robbie Burch, Rusty Heaton, and Brad. Gregory. As Leane Doggett mentioned, “It was a new ex- perience to practice football and specific plays and_ posi- tions.’ The game opened with an entertaining warm-up by the seniors. Inspired by the varsity football team, the girls exer- cised to a variety of tunes. The first touchdown was scored by senior running back Diane Ma- munes. As the game pro- gyressed, seniors sensed a victo- ry but the juniors remained composed. In the final minutes of the game, the juniors made a comeback. Mary Beth Staton ran for the tying. touchdown, and the turning point occured when Marjorie Winslow scored the extra points to win the game. Senior Lauren Ellis later commented, ‘The spirit of the senior girls made our perfor- nance more sincere and in- tense, we really played as a team, which made the ques- tionable calls and sudden loss even more difficult to take.” After the game, Propaganda sponsored a bonfire and the cheerleaders lead popular chants and cheers. The juniors exuberantly celebrated their victory as the seniors tried to remain sportsmanlike while mourning their defeat. Part of the sadness came from the fact that it was the last powder puff game on the old football field. } ' IC OTA AND BRAD GREGPRY hold the sign as the seni irls run onto the field, full of excitement to perform their F warm up routine.

Toe eae AO ae Vis ao 3 beet ieee ry: oer sete Variety is the Spice ot Lite A song, a dance, or maybe a fiddle — whatever the prefer- ence, these and many other colorful acts were found at the 1984 Talent Show. “Every act was good,” said Mrs. Penberthy. Though it took many long hours for Kit Lazard and Sarah Cave to organize, they were pleased with the results. Because of the overwhelming profits, they were able to donate $260 to the Drill Team and over $600 towards new uniforms for the Marching Band. The acts chosen to perform ranged from ballet to karate to breakdancing, the latest danc- ing craze. The Break Masters, or- ganized by Chris Burford, dis- played their agility and rhythm in breakdancing. Their routine depicted a street fight between two gangs with dancing tech- niques as their weapons. Ken Swann played fiddle in the bluegrass style to the tune of “Orange Blossoms Special.” Brad Roberts and Alan Bedell backed him up on drums and piano. Brad's bass drum proved to be a problem as it repeatedly slid out ot his reach; but after the problem was corrected, their performance was very success- ful.

Pianist Lee Harris and electric guitarist Brian Fechino per- formed an original composition by Lee. A tremelo arm on the guitar added a distorted, warped sound to the music for a special effect. Mr. Hale, the band teacher who was emcee and helped organize the show, commented, “Lee is one of the most creative people at Midloth- ian. The show was not a contest — it was more of a chance for dar- ing students to show off their tal- ents. Donna Cook, who per- formed a dance with Renee Saunders and Sheri Turnbow, said, “It was a lot of hard work, but it was for a worthwhile cause and we had a blast.” POISE AND GRACE characterized the ballet performed by Robin Ni- chols. CHESTERFIELD COUNTY LIBRARY VIRGINIA Some sugar, much spice, and everything twice... What Midlo Weekends Were Made Of Weekends! Whether you are relaxing on the beach, dancing at a party, or simply resting at home, those precious forty- eight hours are most often the highlight of everyone's week. What makes a Midlo week- end so special? The addition of MTV, Music Television, seen on local cable channels, of- fered an alternative to regular weekend television. This new attraction depicted many of the popular songs as well as new releases in video production, and also made for very interest- ing conversation among var- ious rock fans. Another popular hangout among Midlo students was the addition of ‘‘Young Virginians NOT EVERYBODY'S WORKING FOR THE WEEKEND! Jeff Buell and J.T. Moore appear amused as they discuss possible plans. 22 Life Weekends Night” at several of the night- spots in the downtown area. The invitation was limited to students under the age of 18 and no alcoholic beverages were permitted. Various bands entertained students with a night of music, dance, and good times. ''It was a great way to meet students from other area high schools as well as re- lax and enjoy great music and dancing with your friends,” commented one student. To curb the rising costs of going out on weekends to places such as restaurants and cinemas, Midlothian students made their own fun at local parties, basketball games, foot- ball games, dates, and shop- CRUCIAL TO GETTING START- ED ON A WEEKEND is getting out of the parking lot, and junior Mark Johnson seems ready to do just that.

One student noted, “It does not really matter where you are, who you are with, or what you are doing (or not doing), as long as you are having a good time.’’ That summarizes the whole meaning behind Midlo weekends. Weekends can be a time to relax, a time to study, a time to party, a time to sleep, or a time to go out with your friends. As the weekend drew near, the popular symptons of “Weekend Syndrome” were evident everywhere. The first stage usually occurred around Wednesday when students could be found loitering in the halls, construing plans for weekend parties and other so- cial events. Thursday found most students amid cries of ‘One more day!’ Several des- perate students could be found in library corners calculating the final hours and minutes to the end... At this point, we entered the last and most anticipated phase. The final symptoms in- cluded the melodious slam- ming of lockers in a hurried at- tempt to leave school grounds, the squeal of tires in the student parking lot, and the soothing sigh of relief as the weekend began.

Weekends Life 23 Finding Time To Relax Like teen-agers everywhere, Midlo students moved towards new types of relaxation in many forms. While the new fads like break dancing and hackey sack occupied the time and attention of many, the old pastime of simply “hanging- out” still remained the most popular. Break dancing, one of the newest crazes, quickly became one of the most individualistic fads around. Anyone who had the ability to spin around on their head, pop their body into unusual positions, and jump on the floor without tripping over themselves, had the qualifica- tions of a break dancer. The student body was given the op- portunity to see some examples of break dancing at the Mid- lothian Talent Show, where a group of ninth grade boys dis- played their unique talent. On any day, rain or shine, somewhere in the building, there was a group of hackey Life Fads sack players. Because the ad- ministration ruled out playing the game inside, diehard play- ers in the hallways had to keep a keen watch for teachers and principals. Because of the game's flexibility in its rules and because it can be played with any number of people, it became a passion with boys during any spare moments in the day. Lying in the sun has always been a popular pastime with Midlo students, particularly the girls. They even enjoyed catch- ing a few rays during lunch to start their tans. As soon as the warm weather arrived, many students used any excuse to re- lax outdoors, if only to just catch up on the latest gossip. With the heavy schedule that faced many students, time to unwind and relax were greatly needed to get through the long hours of study and school ac- tivities. BRAD GREGORY keeps the hackey in play as he practices his technique. SHOWING OFF THEIR GREAT MOVES, Dennis Collins and Scot- tie Smith perform during the tal- ent show.

Pcl pS ) y Sweet temptations were hard to resist tor students... Battling the Bulge Pizzas, candy bars, french fries, and hot fudge sundaes were among the array of great- tasting and frighttully fattening foods tempting students at ev- ery corner. Innocent dieters had a rough time making it to their next class without being hailed to buy popcorn, cakes or pies in support of a worthy cause. Probably the most dreaded were the M M's and NHS candy bars for sale most of the year — so readily avail- able and so cheap! ‘‘All of us in Mrs. Ballard’s class had to ad- mit that the M M's in the back of the room were a big tempta- tion,’’ said Marnie Crannis. The next test of willpower came in the cafeteria. Twinkies _.. Ho-Ho's ... Hostess: Fruit Pies... all colorfully wrapped, wonderfully inviting, and chock full of calories. The cafe- teria’s latest addition of the year was home-baked chocolate chip cookes, tickling the swee- tooth’s nose with their aroma. Sports teams, with nutrition and physical fitness as top priorities, jammed lockers full of sweet suprises. A ‘secret sis’’ might spend five to ten dollars on candy, cakes, and cookies to put in a teammate’s locker. The temptations mounted outside school walls. Mouth- watering billboards of Har- dee’s homemade biscuits and Friendly’s ice cream sundaes were hard to drive past. The pharmacy across the street of- fered every kind of candy imaginable. Opportunities to ‘munch out’ became greater on weekends when more time was spent at home, with the re- frigerator right down the hall. A date might have included buttery popcorn at the movies, pizza afterwards, and many more untold calories. Was there an escape? With society's emphasis on being thin, certainly some people must have resisted the tempta- tions. The many diet drinks, su- gar substitues, and diet pills on the market were partially re- sponsible. Exercising gained popularity as several industri- ous teachers formed a class which worked out to Jane Fon- da’s video to help stay slim. But possibly the greatest incentive for students to resist luscious foods was the reminder that Beach Week was also just around the corner!

Food Life P| fae Magic Memonies ll form a magic memory of pie times spent by you and me.” From the 1984 Junior Sen- ior Memory Book. It was a night for making magical memories at the Bell- wood cafe on May 12. The Prom, given by the juniors for the graduating seniors, pro- vided both classes with a won- derful evening for all who at- tended. Under the direction of Mrs. Stewart and Mrs. Pinover, the juniors decorated and orga- nized preparations for Satur- day night's event. After choos- ing the top-forty band Nickel- odeon, committees arranged for the production of memory books and hired professional magicians to entertain guests while they were not out on the dance floor. Once prepara- tions were completed, it wsa only a matter of hours until the long-awaited night arrived. Getting an early start, most couples arranged for plenty of time to enjoy a leisurely dinner and partake in traditional pic- ture-taking sessions. Arriving at Bellwood, couples were greeted by an oversized bunny and escorted through silv er streamers into a star-studded ballroom. Balloons and magi- cians’ cards and hats decorat- ed the walls and tables were romantically lit by candles sur- rounded by angel hair. The evening commenced with the figure which included seniors representing the var- ious clubs and organizations. Newly crowned Prom King Brad Adams and Queen Deb- bie Black then started the dancing as students and faculty crowded the floor. Sophomore servers, dressed assistants, pro- vided much needed refresh- many. Tommy Burtner, Megan Dougherty, Ju- lie Hulett, Kim Lindsey, Susan as magicians’ ment for Mathews, Bobby Morris, Scott Rinaldi, and Kenny Robinson supplied tired dancers with punch, fresh fruit, mints, and other hors d’oeurves. Prom Co-chairman Lisa Da- vidson commented, “I’m glad the hard work we put into it made an enjoyable evening for both the seniors and the ju- niors.’’ Senior Kaky Spruill typified the feelings of the Class of ‘84, ‘I thought the ju niors did an outstanding job! They provided an evening to help the seniors go out in style!” DESPITE THE FORMALITY OF THE OCCASION, Liz Pinkham and Chris Payne manage a smile.

Their aspirations, successes, and failures formed a pivotal axis on which they and the entire Midloth- ian society turned. Throughout the year, seniors were bound by the fact that they were the last class to graduate from the old building. Together they carried out old traditions and initiated new ones. Struggling through Macbeth, seniors apprehensive- ly awaited job or college acceptances. Juniors faced perhaps their toughest high school year; they finally received the status of upperclassmen yet also had to meet increased academic requirements. The class shared many memories, perhaps most notably the sponsoring of the prom for the seniors. Most juniors had mixed emotions about being the first class to gra- duate from the new school. Excited about improved facilities, they remained cau- AT A CROWDED FRIDAY NIGHT BASKET- BALL GAME, India Galloway appears more interested in the doll than the action on the court.

Having adjusted to the present Midlothian, they realized that next year they would face new surroundings. Fresh- men were thrust into a different environ- ment from middle school, and sophomores were in the awkward position of “upper lowerclassmen.’’ But holding their own, the underclassmen gained recognition as they excelled in spirit, sports, and academ- ics. The faculty and administration worked continually to lead and teach students. With more emphasis on education, en- forcement of school rules and tougher cur- riculums meant more work for students and teachers. However, their commitment did not stop outside the classroom; many faculty members involved themselves as packing organizers, sponsors of activities, or coaches of teams.

The Last Class At the end of a thirteen year cycle of primary and secon- dary education, the seniors en- countered a common yet also unique turning point. Each stu- dent individually dealt with the decisions of his future, but to- gether the class of ‘84 was unit- ed as the last graduating class of the old high school. The class proudly accepted tention on activities to cele- brate graduation. Yet, in the back of everyone’s mind was the thought that he would not return to the same football field for homecoming or know where to go to visit a former teacher.

The beginning of the school year marked both the beginning and the end in the lives of the seniors. Homecoming provided a week of final memories for sen- iors. Their float captured sec- ond place in the competition preceding the game. The float pictured an elegant party with seniors Erin Donahue, Ron Du- laney, Monica Pierce, and Tim McClellan dressed informal at- tire as they danced and sipped champagne. As the year sped by, seniors looked forward to June with in- creasing anticipation. The sen- ior banquet was held at Salis- bury Presbyterian gymnasium at the end of April with a large number of seniors attending. An ltalian covered dish dinner began the evening and was fol- lowed by dancing and min- gling. The tinal drafts of the last will and testament and the class prophecy were read at the banquet. With the arrival of May and June, senior activities reached their peak. Senior Skip Day was a success with the senior class, for obvious reasons, and a bash at Todd Heath's farm highlighted the day's events. Senior Skip Day also signi- fied the arrival of prom time. Saturday, May 12, marked the night of the Junior-Senior Prom at the Bellwood Cafe. ‘Magic Memories’ was the theme and seniors were determined to make just that — a magic and memorable night. The prom figure consisted of seniors and their dates, as each couple re- presented a club or office. Many couples attended break- fasts or drove to Virginia Beach to watch the sun rise after the prom. Prom night left a lasting impression on the seniors of their last year in high school and the classmates who exper- ienced it with them. Before graduating, the sen- ior class said good-bye to each other with a special day and night set aside for that purpose. Awards night provided seniors with the opportunity to remem- ber each other through class history, senior superlatives, awards, and scholarships. The evening closed as the gavel was passed from the senior class president to the junior who became the next senior class’ president. Exemptions occupied sen- iors’ thoughts as exam time ap- proached. The happiness (or sorrow) was soon replaced by the flurry of activity with gradu- ation practice, Baccalaureate, and finally, graduation itself. On June 12, 1984 the last graduating class of the old Midlothian High School crossed the football field to re- ceive their diplomas. The end of their four years of high school marked a turning point in the lives of the senior class. Seniors Computer Club 12; Yearbook 12; Honor Guard Drill Team 12.

College Decisions Applying, waiting, and de- ciding: three major activities believed to be a care-free and worry-free one demanded the full attention of those students who planned to attend college. The process required of stu- dents who desired entrance into a college or university in- volved three major responsibil- ities. These three responsibil- ities consisted of applying to various schools, waiting for re- sponses, and deciding which college to attend. Many seniors worked throughout the first semester to receive applications for admis- sions from various colleges and then to complete the tedious’ requirements of the applica- tion process. Most college ap- plications required some form of essay on the students’ lives and educational goals. The repetition of similar essays and general information questions proved confusing and time- consuming for students. Christmas break did not sig- nity relief for many seniors who strove to complete college ap- plications and to return them to the colleges via the guidance office betore application dead- lines. The completion of the appli- cation process did not com- plete seniors responsibilities. Many college-bound seniors spent their second semester maintaining grade point aver- age requirements and waiting to hear trom the colleges to which they applied for admis- sions. As the end of March steadily approached, seniors continued their frustrating wait for ‘the verdict from each col- lege. Those students who re- ceived early acceptance or re- jection trom various colleges faced other forms of frustration. Once seniors heard from each ot the colleges to which they had applied, they were confronted with a major deci- sion; which college to attend. Many considerations com- bined to make this decision even more diltficult. Expense, distance, size, and preference each played important roles in the decision process. Some stu- dents wished to follow their friends to one college while at the same time they were pulled toward another schoo; for other reasons. Whether to go out-ol- state or in-state was also a major consideration for many stu- dents. The schools to which these seniors would finally ma- triculate would affect them for the rest of their lives. As graduation approached and final college decisions were made, seniors reached a realization. Each student would soon be going his own separate way after four years of high school together. Even those seniors who attended the same college or university would have experienced a turning point in their lives, and their college choices provided a ma- jor influence in this turning point.

A Dignitied End Emerging from the dol- drums, seniors involved them- selves in activities which tradi- tionally mark the end of high school days. For most, it was a welcome relief from the seem- ingly endless routine of classes, teachers, and tests. Senior Banquet, held at Salisbury Presbyterian Church's activities building, featured a covered-dish sup- per. Seniors brought either a main or side dish and drinks were provided. Several juniors were chosen to help organize, serve, and clean up for the evening, and senior Chris Fisk acted as djj.

Michael Parker, the Youth Minister at Bon Air Baptist, Vaughan Gibson, the class Chaplain, delivered the meditation. The address was given by the Reverend John E. Leonard, pastor of the Church of the Epiphany. Reverend Leonard focused his comments on the many decisions that. must be made throughout a person's lite. He emphasized that these decisions should be based on the principles of un- conditional love. Atterwards, the seriousness of the service was broken as seniors and their church to socialize and take pictures. (continued on page ACCEPTING AWARDS ON CLASS NIGHT BECAME NATU- RAL FOR KARI BACHMAN.

Dignitied End (Continued) Breaking from the tradition of Class Day, seniors ap- proached a new ceremony with anticipation. Class Presi- dent Ann Margaret Baron opened the evening, followed by Leane Doggett and Henry Staples reading the Class His- tory. The superlatives were an- nounced by Joelle Keith and Chris Fisk who presented gag gifts to deserving recipients. Moving from the auditorium, marshals led the seniors through the courtyard to the cafeteria where the faculty and staff had prepared a reception. Finally, on Tuesday, June 12, graduation arrived. Lead- ing the procession of adminis- trators, faculty, and seniors were some of the 1924-1928 graduates of Midlothian. Opening the service with a meditation, Mr. John Regen, minister of Salisbury Presbyte- rian Church, reminded the seniors that they were at a turn- ing point: they had not fully ar- rived, but were on their way. The guest speaker for the oc- casion was a 1925 graduate of Midlothian, Miss Dorothy Hud- son, a well-known educator in Chesterfield County. Miss Hudson called herself ‘'a spo- kesperson for all those who had gone from this place before” and welcomed the ‘84 gradu- ates to the ranks of Midlothian High School graduates. After salutatory and valedic- tory addresses by Debbie Black and Kari Bachman, re- spectively, Mr. Poates recog- nized the top ten students of the class before extending in- dividual congratulations as he presented diplomas. As seniors walked to their homerooms to turn in their caps and gowns, they saw the empty bookcases and moving boxes throughout the school as symbols of not only their depar- ture, but also as an end of an era for the school itself. In da ys, the process of moving to the new facility was to begin, and the old high would then be- come a middle school. The 209 graduates and the building had faced the turning point and were “fully on their way.” Seniors 53 Q � Emotional lransitions The junior year marks a time in a student's life of much achievement. Having survived the challenges of the first two years of high school, the stu- dent is ready for the pressures of a heavier academic curricu- lum. Throughout the year, stu- dents looked forward to the privilege of becoming a senior. But in 1983-84, the junior class had a different outlook on what was to come. Feelings about being the first graduating class of the new school varied from student to student. Many wished that they would be the last class to gra- duate at the old Midlo. As Amy McCarthy commented, “'It breaks a big part of the tradi- tion of our school.’’ Martha Kerby said, ‘We'll feel like Billy Abato Debbie Adams Pam Adams Ray Adams Justin Aotrobius Keith Autry Don Bailey Jim Bampton Richard Barrett Shaun Beattie Bruce Bell Leanne Bell Steve Bell Susan Bell Ron Biringer Juniors NS uC S freshmen next year, not sen- iors.” But some students felt privi- leged to be a part of the move. The tact that they would be set- ting a new tradition sparked their interests. Better facilities were also one of the benefits seen in attending the new school. Gary McGregor stated, ‘New athletic fields will really help our teams. The air-condi- tioning and overall better qual- ity of the school will also be convenient.” With these opinions in mind, juniors finished their hard year to face new challenges await- ing them not only as seniors, but also as the first of many to graduate from a new environ- ment. r Curt Board Patti Bodie Joe Boisineau Peyton Bonner Kim Boone Louis Boone David Bowles Gil Bourcier Michelle Boyce Bill Brady John Breslin Beth Brown Sarah Brown Patrick Brundage Jeff Buell Chris Burns Kristin Burton David Butler John Calpin Doug Cannon John Carroll Lisa Carter Christine Case Sarah Cave Stacey Charles Eddie Childs Wendy Christian Linda Church Kelly Clodfelter David Cochran Susan Cope DeAnn Cothran David Crookshanks Lara Crowder Karen Dailey Lisa Davidson Larry Dean Jim Detrick Mary Dillard Brian Dintman Monty Dise Jeff Dittman Tommy Douglas Kathy Duckworth David Dundas Duke Durham Jill Easter T.J. Enderle Lisa Enders Sheri Enders Susie Everton Chris Faigle Chris Farabaugh Jeff Farleigh Tracy Farmer Juniors Faced with decisions about colleges, goals for the future, and numerous tests throughout the year, juniors spent much of the 1983-84 school year con- centrating on academics. Stu- dents took the. Pre-Scholastic Aptitude Test in the fall of 1983. This test prepared ju- niors for the more important and more dreaded Scholastic Aptitude Test which many ju- niors took in the spring of 1984. Those who scored well on the PSAT qualified for the National Merit Scholarship or received the commended scholar award. At the end of the first semes- ter, juniors received their class rank and cumulative grade Testing |, 2a point averages. As students be- came more concerned over college preparations and quali- fications, many juniors concen- trated more intensely on their grades. Two long days in March oc- cupied the juniors with even more testing as juniors and counselors sat through two mornings of tedious SRA test- ing. The tests were divided into sections of difficult questions, the hardest of which required students to mentally build boxes from confusing lines. Afterwards, students felt drained. As juniors prepared for SAT’s in March, many re- ceived propaganda from a number of colleges as a result of the PSAT student search program. Some students elect- ed to further prepare them- selves for the SAT by partici- pating in an after school com- puter class which provided questions and answers typical to those on the SAT. As more and more informa- tion from colleges bombarded juniors, many students visited the various campuses and ac- quired a better knowledge of prospective schools. The 1983-84 school year provided a turning point in juniors’ lives as they combined academics with other activities character- istic of students’ junior year in high school. =a = enn eS 5 = woe : oe a = _ RELAXING BETWEEN TESTS, John Hodder discusses the an- swer with some friends.

SHOWING OFF HIS NEW RING, a junior feels proud to finally have the mark of an upper classman. Juniors ise ee, Fall of 1983 signified the ar- rival of long awaited purchases for juniors. Class rings finally arrived and excited juniors compared rings and exclaimed over their new possessions. Re- ceiving class rings highlighted the beginning of an exciting year for juniors. From spring of 1983 when they ordered each band, stone, and design, juniors anxiously awaited arrival of their rings. Careful deliberation and dis- cussion between parents and students occured before ju- niors established a payment plan to purchase their rings. Some students paid for their rings themselves while others depended on their parents for the purchase of their class rings. sia a The Ring When the big day finallly ar- rived, juniors filled the main hall and tought to reach the Balfour representative. Occa- sionally, students with sympa- thetic teachers slipped out of class and claimed their rings during class time. As the Bal- four representative flipped through receipts and sorted through tiney plastic bags, the juniors waited patiently. Upon receiving his or her class ring, each junior began the ring- turning custom. Each turn of a ring was followed by the inevi- table question, ‘What number am |?” Class rings provided juniors with a lasting momento of high school, a turning point in their lives.

At the class meeting, President Joe Boisineau explained the need and procedure for funding. He announced that class dues would be set at ten dollars at first, inflating to twenty dollars as time went by. The officers also helped with prom prep- aration by assisting in the selec- tion of the band. They watched many bands preform and tried to choose a style which would be favorable to all students. The Junior Princess elections were moderated by the offi- cers, also. These leaders worked hard to make this ju- nior year profitable.

His punk rattail and blaring ‘box'’ set him apart trom the crowd. Lee's individuality was best shown through his musical in- terests. His musical prefer- ences range from Stravinsky to Talking Heads. His job as D.J. at the Univer- sity of Richmond radio station, WDCE, provided a natural out- let for Lee's tastes in music. The station was known for its wide variety of musical selections. Another aspect of Lee's musical inclinations was ex- pressed in Lee’s performances as a musician. Not only was he a member of Midlo's marching band, but he has also played in a variety of local bands. Lee commented, “I hope to go as far as 1 can with my music and to go wherever it takes me.” Lee had deep convictions about his life and his individ- uality. He felt that it was impor- tant to “be yourself and not worry so much about what oth- er people think. If those people are bothered by you, that is their problem. You should also accept people for what they are and not try to mold them into your dreams. ° A Step in the Right Direction It was a big step to go from the freshmen to the sophomore year. For most sophomores, school work entailed dissecting frogs in biology and studying William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. Sophomores also got a taste of upperclassmen life with the ordering of class rings and acquiring of learner’s permits and driver's licenses. Finally adjusted to the set- ting of Midlothian, the Class of ‘86 prepared to move again, on to the relocated high school.

This winter, though, the magic words were never spoken in reference to snow. There was light snow or ice, but unfortunately, the weatherman could never re- port enough snow to keep the student body out of school. I woke up every morning and hoped to see white, but it seemed like old man weather was against me this year!’ Tom- my Burtner joked. This year was unique. Because of the lack of snow, two snow days that were not used during the winter months were added to the spring calender. So, in- stead of throwing snowballs on these snowdays, students sun- bathed and tickled their toes on the green grass.

The class of 1987 came to Midlothian confronted with the typical changes and prob- lems of adjustment. Freshmen found an atmo- sphere of freedom they had not experienced in their middle school. They found that they were no longer the respected upper class that they had been as eighth graders. Instead, freshmen were often scoffed at and ignored by the upperclass- men. For instance, when tresh- men asked directions to classes, upperclassmen would mislead them and send them in the wrong direction.

For most freshmen, the har- dest part of adjusting was knowing that the old Midloth- ian was only a ‘‘temporary” set- ting and that they would soon be faced with similar changes at the new Midlothian High School. As freshman Mark Chambers said, ‘A new school is great compensation for a short period of readjustment.” STUDYING DURING LUNCH, Beth Hague takes a break to talk to freshman friend, Uyen Tran.

WORKING ON HER FOREHANI Kim warms up with Midlothia: tennis team members at an afte noon practice. Freshman Brings National Attention Freshman tennis player Kim Boerner has travelled across the country, competed in na- tional competitions, and been awarded various honors through her favorite pastime, tennis. Kim was ranked second in the state for her age group at fourteen. At fifteen, Kim has had many memorable exper- iences from her tennis career. An all-expense paid trip to California to participate in the Seventeen national tourna- ment was one reward for Kim's hard work. Since Kim began competing at the age of ten, she has trav- elled to Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, and other states across the country. When Kim played in her first national tournament, she noted the fitness of the other girls and their seriousness about the game. Kim said, ‘I watched the other girls, and | realized how good they were, especially when they had competed na- tionally before.”’ Dedication to practice and willingness to work are neces- sary qualities in a sport such as tennis. Kim spent an average of two hours a day perfecting her game with clinics, private les- sons, and numerous matches. As a member of the Richmond Tennis Patrons’ Association, Kim received lessons and fund- ing tor her trips and equip- ment. The responsibilities to and from practices and match- es was assumed by her parents. 1984 was Kim's first year on the Midlothian girls’ tennis team. She enjoyed the compe- tition of her classmates and felt the members formed a strong, competitive team. Balancing the responsibilities of both school and tennis required most of Kim's time, but she con- sidered it to be a worthwhile challenge.

This year, leather, mini-skirts, and ripped shirts represented the punk rockers. Punkers dressed in vi- brant colors and wore the style with flair. Some students lived in tie-dyes and jeans. These Dead Heads combined the mood of the sixties with current fashions for a laid-back look. Others maintained the “'clas- sic’’ look with sott sweaters, tex- tured stockings, and polo shirts. The styles of 1984 ap- peared to a variety of students, each as an expression of his or her own taste and personality.

Led by Miss Mary Nell Blanton, they elected Tim Hunt, Grady Daniels, Molly Whitehurst, and Melissa Ramos as their leaders. During the year, the officers sponsored a magazine drive and an M M sale which to- gether earned $360.00. This money was earmarked for fu- ture homecomings and proms. At first, some freshmen thought these sales were to benefit the Senior Prom of ‘84 and were reluctant to participate.

As a part of an SCA project, freshmen homerooms collect- ed tood for the needy and money to buy video games for the diagnostic center. Class of- ticers held meetings concern- ing freshmen activities such as participation in homecoming and the freshmen pep club. The officers served to pro- mote spirit and a sense of be- longing among the class of ‘87. As treshman vice president, Grady Daniels, said, ‘‘Our class works well together, the split from Robious didn’t hurt us. Freshmen Extend Library Students in Mrs. Miles’ fresh- men English classes worked this year on a writing unit, the culmination of which was a project intended to benefit all students and staff members. Mrs. Miles guided students in writing letters to publishers re- questing complimentary opies of selected books which will be housed in a special sec- tion of the library at the new Midlothian High School. A letter writing unit intro- duced the project, and the stu- dents themselves aided in the selection of some of the books requested.

Teachers, too, were asked to submit titles they felt worthy of inclusion in the project. The projec t served as a posi- tive reinforcement of the in- structional unit while also in- creasing the collection of fic- tion and non-fiction in the library. The students were very enthusiastic about their project and are hopeful that their let- ters will result in providing the school with a fine new collec- tion of books.

Being fourteen years old was not easy; it meant no license, no mobility. It was hard to catch rides with upperclassmen and few wanted parents to drive them on dates or to parties. Therefore, one big social outlet became the telephone. Since it was difficult to get around on Friday and Saturday nights, many freshmen stayed home to talk on the phone with friends. A phone call lasting more than an hour was not un- USING THE PHONE JUST SEEMS NATURAL FOR FRESH- MEN. Eric Booker uses a break be- tween classes to call a friend. usual. Call-waiting and chil- drens’ lines revolutionized long calls as parents were not as quick to demand that calls be shortened. Little did they know of the ignored calls or the forgotten messages. Freshmen looked torward to their sophomore year and the beginning of their driver train- ing courses. They longed for the day that they would have a license and an available car. As one freshman, Brian King, stat- ed ‘‘Communication with friends will be alot easier with a car.

The office might not be where students like to be seen, but it is the chiet center of operations for the school. Everything from disci- pline of students to the approv- al of school-sponsored activi- ties, must clear the office first. Mrs. Frances Lavender, school secretary, took care of everything from writing notes for students to answering the phone. Mrs. Alease Frady, the bookkeeper, dealt mainly with the funds from all school activi- ties. Attendance records of ev- ery student were kept by Mrs. Shirley Wauters, also a school secretary. The administrators, Mr. Francis Poates, principal, Mr. Thorton Carter and Mr. Greg- ory Hulcher; assistant princi- pals, made sure everything was kept in order throughout the year. Their responsibilities en- tailed not only the activities from 7:30 in the morning to 1:50 in the afternoon but also after school hours with events such as sports functions and drama productions. Without the guidance de- partment PSAT's, SRA‘s, SAT's Achievement Tests, and all oth- er tests could not have taken place. Seniors learned just how important the guidance de- partment really was when it came time to decide on what to do after high school. Through the help of Mrs. Joanne Barnes, Mrs. Judith Goodwin, Mrs. Dorothy Voight, and Mrs. Phyl- lis Jones, the students of Mid- lothian were scheduling, col- leges, and work opportunities.

New Faces Come to Midlo Eleven new staff members joined the Midlothian faculty for the 1983-84 school year. For most of the eleven, this was a continuation of their teaching careers. However, for Miss Pa- tricia Adams and Miss Michelle Gregory, teaching was a new experience. Miss Gregory had taken a year after college graduation to work towards a masters degree at VCU while Miss Adams had been a feature writer for the Times-Picay- une in New Orleans. Although Mrs. Grogg, an L. D. teacher, had been a teacher previously, her experience before coming to Midlothian had been work- ing with four year-old learning disabled children. The new faculty members of- fered their impressions of the school. Many said that the stu- dents were self-motivated and seemed to be very concerned with academics. As Mrs. Amy Tucker said, ‘The air was filled Patricia Adams — English 9, 11. Economics. — Algebra II Trig.; Pre-Calculus; Calculus. Lynne Barnes — Computer Math. Jeannette Bilmond — English 10.

Mrs. Tucker, who taught in Chesapeake, said that, Academics seemed to be the number one concern of stu- dents and parents. Previously, athletics appeared to be the dominant concern of many.” Other new faculty members included Mrs. Betsy Moss and Mrs. Linda Smith, business; Mrs. Janice Paulsen, foreign languages; Mr. David Riley, science; Mr. John lannucci, physical education; and Mrs. Pamela Therrien, Library aide.

Let's Get Physical At three o'clock in the after- noon, after the faculty had had a= long, nard.day, a cry to ‘make it burn” was heard from behind the door of the teach- ers workroom. This sound sig- naled that the ‘‘Fondanettes” were hard at work. This group of about fifteen faculty members met two to four times a week to exercise to Jane Fonda's Workout video tape. In the beginning of the year, they tried to get involved with a professional class, but the hours were inconvenient. So, they decided to buy their own tape and hold their own class. After a hard day behind the podium, these teachers worked their bodies instead of their minds and released some of their tensions. This environ- ment was also good for their mental attitudes.

Rock the Cradle The school year of 1983-84 was the year of the faculty “baby boom at Midlothian. There were three teachers who had to deal with problems in- herent to deal with pregnancy. Mrs. Amy Tucker, who had her baby in November, found it very difficult to return to school. Mrs. Tucker said she would never feel really com- fortable leaving the baby, but WILL IT BE A BOY OR A GIRL? Mrs. Amy Tucker is suprised by the baby shower given by the faculty. 13mR ib didss | she did have the advantage of having a sitter come to her home, eliminating the hassles of early morning feeding and bathing the baby. Mrs. Robertson, Latin teacher and active sponsor for the Latin Club said, ‘My stu- dents have made my pregnan- Sue cy much easier, as they are us ally considerate and thought- ful. My club officers have been i superb in relieving me of my chores and responsibilities.”’ Mrs. Robertson was able to or- ganize her work and duties with a fair amount of ease since she had been pregnant with her daughter, Kelly, during the 1982-83 school year. Mrs. Patricia Hines com- mented on the discomfort of being a pregnant teacher. She said that she really was not un- comtortable, but she walked a little slower in the halls and did not get to run around the class- room as she would have liked. Because combining teach- ing and motherhood was de- manding, each new mother did confirm the fact that they were happily anticipating their summer vacations.

Adults in general, and teachers more specifically, are fully aware of these worries as they, too, were once high school stu- dents. Perhaps this is why Midloth- ian students found teachers to be understanding and helpful. They stayed after school to help with problems of all sorts. Mr. Teachers enjoyed the inter- action with students outside of the classroom as they became better acquainted in a less structured atmosphere. It also temporarily relieved them of the jobs most teachers consider drudgery, such as grading pa- pers. Many teachers spent endless hours involved in ex- tra-curricular activities.

Faculty 99 Academics reached a turning point as new activities were begun and traditional programs were expanded. 1984 saw the first National Junior Honor Society tapping and the first Olympics of the Mind compe- tition. In the foreign language area an un- precedented three scholarships were pre- sented, proving that foreign language held a great interest to many students. Guest speakers added interest to curricu- lums in many classes. Poets and lobbyists presented a different approach to learn- ing, emphasizing practical application of their knowledge, skills, and talents. Competitions in academic areas occu- pied many weekends as students traveled to other schools to participate in contests. On many days in-school competitions and tests were held. Mrs. Betty Ballard com- mented, ‘The more tests you take, the bet- ter tester you become. Basically, the tests are for the student's personal benefit and Other students found re- recognition.” ward in practical experience gained from the Technical Center. Activities there ranged from operating computers to re- pairing automobile engines. Elective classes such as band, chorus, and drama appealed to a large section of the student body. A new addition to elec- tive courses was a photography class, taught by art teacher Pat Rose. All of these courses expanded cultural interest and en- forced belief in the well-rounded educa- tion. Administrators, guidance counselors, teachers, and even students have always believed that Midlothian is an academical- ly oriented school. The year proved to en- force that theory with even more intensity as the ‘Nation at Risk’ study forced county educators to increase restrictions and de- velop new programs. The Merit Pay issue for 1984-85 was debated, as programs such as the Governor's Seal proved to be an imminent reality.

The week began with a discus- sion panel of foreign exchange students living in the area. A motley mix of countries was re- presented. Students from Bel- gium, Germany, England, Spain, Sweden, and Chile gave descriptions of their life at home and answered student questions concerning favorite rock groups, weekend activi- ties, and political issues. Not only were Midlothian students enlightened as to foreign cul- tures, but they were also forced to take a closer look at their own lifestyles as the exchange students gave their percep- tions on American culture. On that Wednesday of Lan- guage Week, the Midlothian International Language Club and the Latin Club held a vol- leyball tournament in the gym- e® EASTERN nasium. Students competed with enthusiastic rivalry, at times showing more energy than skill. In the end, the Latin Club emerged as the victor. The French students came in second, the Spanish contin- gents took third, and the Ger- man students finished fourth. The tocal point of language week was the traditional Tast- er's Supper. The supper held Saturday night, finished off the week in a blaze of gastronomic glory. Over two- hundred dishes were sampled by over 400 people. Language Week 1984 passed leaving behind a heightened awareness of for- eign culture and full tummies.

Special speakers, a poet, and Drama II productions helped students discover that... Traditionally, Mr. Richard Duggan's government and so- ciology classes have invited outside speakers to the class- room to expound on various relevant subjects. This year was no different and the walls of room 108 reverberated with the vehemence of speakers like Sheriff Wingo, his political op- ponent Paul Fiedler, and for- mer principal of Robious Mid- dle School Jack Reid. Speakers were not only in the government classes; from time to time guest speakers vis- ited the language classes.

Mrs. Bilmond's English classes were also treat- ed to aguest speakerin the form of poet Max Ellison. Mr. Ellison All The World's A Stage is an enthusiastic poet who de- lights in sharing his personal work. The energy and excel- lence Mr. Ellison put into his performances made for several memorable class periods. Last but definitely not least among performers at Midloth- ian were members of the Dra- ma I] troupe. Under the spon- sorship of Mrs. Katherine Baugher, these experienced thespians performed a mime at the Christmas program and produced the play Our Town in the spring.

Speakers Academics 107 Three years of study and sac- rifice culminated in the impres- sive tapping ceremony held in December in the auditorium. No one who watched the splen- did candlelit ceremony was un- atfected. Twenty-three juniors were tapped, increasing the so- ciety’s membership to thirty- eight students. These students represented the cream of Mid- lothian’s academic crop as members of the National Honor Society. In order to be tapped, a student must maintain a 3.6 average, participate in at least two extra-curricular activities, obtain at least 75% teacher ap- proval, and display the highest standards of character and leadership. Said sponsor Mrs. Virginia Justice, ‘‘These stu- dents are the moral and intel- lectual models for Midlothian.” The National Honor Society was active in charitable func- tions throughout the year. A blood drive and donations to the SCA Christmas project were among their projects. Senior scholarships, awarded on the basis of community ser- vice and academic record, were also given. In order to fi- nance these projects, the Na- tional Honor Society sold can- dy bars.

The NJHS maintains the stringent qualifications of the National Honor Society except that as freshmen and sophomores, stu- dents tapped into the NJHS are required to participate in only one extra-curricular activity, in contrast with the necessary two activities required for induc- tion into the NHS. Mrs. Betty Ballard and Mrs. Sue Robert- son, the sponsors of the pro- gram, worked diligently on the time consuming task of estab- ‘lishing the society. As Mrs. Bal- lard notes, ‘“‘The NJHS will hopefully help students realize the necessity of making good grades early in their high school careers in preparation for college.” By honoring the excellence, both academic and moral, of Midlothian students, the NJHS and the NHS serv ed Midloth- ian in its quest for excellence during 1983-84.

Looking Ahead Preparing county high school students for a turning point in their lives — their graduation and entry into the working world, the Chester- field Technical Center pro- vided an alternative to the six- class school day. Students wishing to develop technical skills had the option of being transported to and trom the Tech Center by the county and attending two classes in either the morning or the afternoon. Programs ranged from a one-year course in surgical technology to two-year courses such as food service, horticul- ture, electronics, carpentry, auto mechanics, printing, and photography, to cosmetology, which required three years of training and 1500 hours of preparation for a state exam. Students learned vocational skills by working in an atmo- sphere much like that of the job for which they were preparing. Auto mechanics students learned skills valuable in main- taining their own cars by doing repair work in the auto shop. Those studying food services orepared lunches to be sold; and in styling the hair of man- 1equins, future cosmetologists acquired know-how which was useful in styling their own hair and that of their triends and tamily members. For some Midlothian stu- dents, the Tech Center pro- vided a chance to get a head start in future vocations. Said- commercial photography stu- dent Julie Roughton, ‘'I’m benetitting much more from the Tech Center program than would be if | were taking a bunch of classes that I didn't need or care about.

The Battle of the Brians team, which represent- ed the school in academic competition, consisted of sen- iors Kari Bachman, Mark Ly- ons, Scott Schmidt, junior Chris Payne, and senior alter- nate Patti Wetlaufer. The team and its sponsor, Mrs. Burtchett, worked from mid-Septemeber through mid-December, prac- ticing after school every Thurs- day.

Academics Battle of Brains skills necessary for the Battle of the Brains competition. The team’s practices included scrimmages against both the Midlothian teachers and the Monacan Battle of the Brains team. In addition, each student on the team was assigned a particular area of study such as history, music, geography, or literature and was responsible for researching the subject in- dividually. After having prepared them- selves both individually and as a team for three months prior to the Battle of the Brains match, the team members and Mrs. Burtchett were disappointed by their first round deteat by Lee Davis. However, they real- ized that the twenty minute competition could not properly demonstrate the team’s mental acuity. The Lee Davis match consisted of two halves which lasted ten minutes each. At halftime Patti Wetlaufer gave a slide presentation along with a brief description of Midlothian and its curriculum. As Mrs. Burtchett pointed out, the suc- cess of the team ultimately de- pended on the mere flip of a coin to determine the packet of questions each team would re- ceive. Moreover, Mrs. Burt- chett commented that the members of the team worked especially well together and that she was well pleased with their performance. Team mem- ber Chris Payne also noted that despite the loss, the Battle of the Brains team enjoyed the challenge of competition.

Set in Paris in 1640, the heroic com- edy tells the story of Hercule Savinien De Cyrano de Ber- gerac, the legendary swords- man known for his wit, his poet- ry, and his startlingly large nose. Auditions for the production were held in mid-September, and the cast of near forty peo- ple, including Jim Comer as Cyrano and Nancy Gunn as his love, the lovely Roxanne, be- gan rehearsing every day for eight weeks under the direc- tion of Mrs. Katherine Baugher. Besides the cast, technical and production crew members contributed their time and talents toward making he fall production a success. Wardrobe coordinators Lisa Kroll and Minda Morgan worked down to the last min- ute, enlisting the aid of local theatre companies and sewing a good deal of the costumes themselves. Many people were surprised to find language teacher Mrs. Kathy Myers was also a fencing coach. After sixth period, she put down her grade book and picked up a foil and spent afternoons in- structing cast members and co- ordinating the play's intricate swordfighting scenes. John Calpin contributed his knowl- edge of theatrical makeup and supervised the application of Cyrano’s nose.

It was the first clas- sical play the department had done in several years.

A NEW NOTE This year the Vocal Music Department at MHS under- went a change as Ms. Michelle Gregory arrived to fill the va- cant position of chorus direc- tor. Ms. Gregory is a graduate of Meredith College and though this was her first year of teaching, she had no trouble proving herself to be an inno- vative and energetic director. She appeared to adapt well to Midlothian’s Music Depart- ment and was able to add inter- est to many concert-performed songs by infusing conventional vocal harmony with a blend of choreography and live music. In 1983-84 under her direc- tion the Chorus performed a Christmas concert at Johnston Willis Hospital, competed in Chorus Festival, and sent sing- ers to the prestigious All-State Chorus.

Through rain and heat and freezing cold THE BAND PLAYED ON Throughout the 1983-84 school year, the band enliv- ened many school and civic functions. Watching audi- ences, however, seldom real- ized the amount of work neces- sary to produce these polished performances. Band students all sacrificed parts of their sum- mers in the interests of band improvement. Drum Majors Mark Lyons, Jimmy Henry, and alternate Sarah Lindsey each spent a week at Ferrum Col- lege’s Band Camp. The last week before school started, all the band members were at school each afternoon, practic- ing for several hours in the sweltering heat. Once school pegan, these musicians prac- ticed marching for three hours one night a week. These night practices were in addition to fif- ty minutes of band class each day. Band members traveled statewide to present their melo- dies. In October they attended the Railroad Festival in Appo- matox. December found them marching through the rain in Williamsburg’s annual Christ- mas parade. Closer to home, the band performed Christmas concerts for local elementary schools. Midlothian's band also performed competitively, re- ceiving “good” ratings in both Band Academics the Thomas Dale marching competition and the VBODA State Competition at Old Do- minion University. All fund raising activities during the year were directed toward the goal of obtaining new uniforms. Band members felt that new uniforms would be appropriate for a new school. Though the cost of ninety new uniforms was daunting, mem- bers of the band were equal to the occasion. They set them- selves the task of earning mon- ey, employing both old and new tactics of fundraising. Be- sides holding a rock concert, the band also rattled off a car, sold jars, did inventory for a lo- cal retailer, and held an enor- mous paper drive. Parents helped the effort by starting the PSO AS0nGlub’ faimicoiball games. Everyone benefited from the band's contributions to the school in 1983-84 and despite the hard work, students in the band felt that they too had gained from the experience. Lee Harris, a longtime member of the Band, summed it up well. ‘Band gives students the chance to understand more about life through music. It re- inforces the education of the character as well as the mind.” INTENT ON HIS MUSIC, Maury Johnson, an orchestra member, demonstrates his violin — play- ing expertise during a perfor- mance.

The day before Christmas vacation students and faculty, _ excited with anticipation of the holiday break, gathered in the auditorium for the annual Christmas program. The Christmas program, which pro- - vided everyone with a needed break from academics, was produced by students in var- ious clubs and departments and was coordinated by teach- ers. The organizations that par- ticipated included the Midloth- ian International Language Club, the history and music de- 120 Academics Christmas Program partments, and the. Drama ig Class. Each club and class in- volved in the production worked on its pantomime, songs, or readings in practice sessions during and after school. Although the program was not rehearsed in its entirity until an hour before the actual production, mistress of cere- monies Leane Doggett noted that the individual practices of each group enabled the pro-. gram to run smoothly. After Leane Doggett welcomed ev- . eryone to the program, the his- tory and foreign lencusce de- partments gave brief readings describing Christmas customs around the world and in Amer- | ica. The Drama II class present- ed its humorous pantomine skit, “The Christmas Mime,’ and the music department, which featured the combined efforts of the band, orchestra, and choruses, performed both traditional carols and religious selections. Like the students, the teach- ers also planned and organized for the program. Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Baugher coordinated ¢ the efforts of the history and music departments respective- ly, while Mr. Hale, Mr. Kellner, and Miss Gregory were re- sponsible for the program's music. Miss Hildebrand, the program's overall coordinator, commented that many teach- ers contributed to the success , of the production by helping with decorations and seating ’ arrangements, but she also not- ed that it was the student's planning of the program that made it such a special event.

On almost any day after school, the halls were often cluttered | with paint and paper for cheering signs or Taster’s Supper posters. Some club mem- bers programmed computers or practiced for an upcoming fashion show. The many school organizations and committees played a vital role in develop- ing the total education of students by al- lowing them ways to apply their interests in group activities. In a more relaxed atmo- sphere without pressure of grades or homework, members increased their knowledge in areas from computers to journalism, to marketing and homemak- ing. SCA began the year with the annual orientation program in which clubs re- cruited new students and freshmen to join their organizations.

Field trips to museums and seminars ex- panded members’ knowledge. Other ac- tivities allowed students to work together and socialize. Many clubs constructed homecoming floats, attempting to relate the club to the ‘Going out in Style” theme. Latin Club members traveled to Norfolk for their yearly convention and returned with many awards on academic tests or projects. The propaganda committee and solidarity focused on promoting school spirit. Other clubs such as the cheer- leaders and pom-pon squad increased the audiences’ enthusiasm with their skills and performances. The diverse clubs and organizations of Midlothian provided students with still oth- er ways to use their knowledge and skills to expand their own educational experience.

[28 “Chiba beatimarions Even while juggling academic studies and extracurricular activities ... THEIR SPIRIT STILL SINGS Spirit and enthusiasm may be the most evident cheering traits, but behind those con- stant smiles and clapping hands are the hours spent per- fecting routines, painting signs, and organizing the var- ious service projects. The cheerleaders’ working season began when they at- tended cheering camp at Duke University for one week in late July. The trip to the camp was made less tiresome by the fact that the L.C. Bird cheerleaders traveled in the same bus. Once there, the girls practiced end- lessly and perfected old and new routines, taking much needed breaks with such ac- tivities as shaving cream battles between the different squads, and the investigation of the boys attending soccer camp there. In the final camp compe- tition involving all twenty-five squads, the girls’ hard work and talent resulted in the junior varsity placing third, and the varsity ranking first in the judg- ing. However, one mishap of the week at camp occured when Cheryl Mason broke her shoulder blade in a serious fall during one of the many stunts that the girls performed. Returning from camp, the varsity cheerleaders began the long process of soliciting ads for the football programs which the junior varsity sold at all the home games. The j.v.s. were also kept continuously busy un- der the new sponsorship of Mrs. Bonnie Moody. Another often unnoticed service of the cheerleaders was providing or- anges for the football, basket- ball, wrestling, and gymnastics teams, providing a refreshing break from competition. The students greatly antici- pated the pep rallies as both squads gave spirited and en- thusiastic performances and planned a number of interest- ing activities. For the Thomas Dale game, the ‘‘Daze the Knights’ theme was incorpo- rated into a relay between classes. Other such skits in- volved a toilet paper relay and a humorous impersonation of the football players’ pre-game warm-ups under Coach Iannu- ci's (Carla Goff) watchful eye. Throughout the year, the girls strove to find new ways of increasing school spirit, which in turn successfully resulted in increased attendance at foot- ball and basketball games. Their spirit was infectious, and they were a key to the high mo- rale in Midlothian athletics. fa i fn, I be 4 ACCEPTING FLOWERS FROM HEATHER FALLON, Donna Cook is congratulated for earning her trip to Hawaii.

Ab (HE RIGHT MOVES The pom-pon squad and honor guard drill team en- dured many tiring practices in smoltering summer heat to pre- pare for the year ahead. For the pom-pon girls, work began in July to prepare a routine to per- form at University of Maryland. At camp they learned new moves and routines as well as discipline and teamwork. A Spirit Pom, many blue ribbons in individual competitions, and a Sweepstakes trophy for over- all performance were awarded to the squad. Wecamp, Donna Cook earned a special award. She was chosen to participate in the Cotton Bowl parade in Texas and the Aloha Bowl Rainbow Classic festivities in Hawaii. Donna, co-captain Patti Wet- laufer, and sponsor Mrs. Cous- ins directed the squad. It took many strenuous practices to prepare for one performance. The squad was required to per- form with flags during the pre- game, half-time, and post- game tootball shows. Because this year was the first year Mid- lothian used flags, it was very challenging for them. In preparing for 1983, the honor guard drill team was faced with a precarious situa- tion. Of the twelve members eleven were newcomers. To overcome this dis-advantage, their captain Cindy Sizer and co-captain Jennifer Sweeney worked with the team for extra long hours. With the encour- agement and support of their sponsor Mr. Hale, drill in- structers coached them during their practices. Their efforts showed in their dynamic per- formances at the games. The most memorable performance was their homecoming drill done to ‘‘Trucking” by the Grateful Dead. The team remained busy selling pies and organizing a paper drive to raise money for their various traveling ex- penses. The honor guard drill team went to competitions as far as Florida. Some of their ac- complishments were a first in regulation drill and a second in trick (or silent) drill.

The school’s only two publi- cations, the yearbook and the literary magazine, presented the student body with both news and entertainment. Each year at the end of the summer, the students of Mid- lothian congregate in the school school’s cafeteria to catch up on news, relay the lat- est gossip, and, more impor- tantly, to leaf through a book filled with page after page of the past year’s memories. The 1983-84 Trojan is the result of a full year’s worth otf hard work by the yearbook statf{, spon- sored by Mrs. Phyllis Miles. Throughout the year the mem- bers of the staff and Mrs. Miles were faced with the task of pro- ducing a quality yearbook that would not only appeal to each of the students, but would also meet budget and procedural requirements. From the first week of school the stati began the tedious job of selling ads in order to raise money for pro- duction of the yearbook. After Clubs Yearbook and Literary Magazine many let-downs and a few rude responses, the yearbook staff could easily have become dis- couraged, but they persisted in their quest for more sponsors. Hectic weeks of yearbook sales, underclassmen picture taking, and club photographs kept the staff busy throughout the first semester. Once the new year arrived, the pace quickened and staff members faced seemingly impossible deadlines. For the next few months, the staff combined ef- forts to write copy, organize layouts, and sort through nu- merous pictures. Editor Leane Doggett and co-editor Diane Calder served as the staff's ad- visors and supporters through- out a year that marked a turn- ing point in Midlothian’s histo- ry as everyone strove fo capture it all in the 1984 Tro- jan. Poems, prose, prints, and artwork from Midlothian's best creative artists comprised the 1984 literary magazine. Head- ed by Miss Jeanne Hildebrand, the literary magazine staff con- sisted of members of the cre- ative writing class. Organizing and developing the literary magazine was a long and diffi- cult process. Members of the staff sought contributions in the form of any written or drawn material from the student body before decisions were made as to which works would be pub- lished. After voting on each of the works, the students began editing, laying out, and as- sembline the magazine. The hours spent designing pages, creating titles, and pasting-up resulted in the talent-filled 1984 literary magazine. As the school’s only two pub- lications, the yearbook and the literary magazine shouldered the responsibilities of inform- ing the student body on the year’s happenings, expressing the latest opinions, and pub- lishing the student's literary works.

Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) and the Marketing club ex- posed students to business skills beneficial for their fu- tures, while Future Homemak- ers of America stressed skills essential in home and family life. All three clubs attracted students for the intrinsic knowl- edge and valuable experience they provided. FBLA, sponsored by Mrs. Howard, competed in nation- wide typing and office proce- dure contests. Midlothian stu- dents received a number of awards for their outstanding of- fice skills and their business ap- titude. The students who com- prised the club attended at least one business class and ex- pressed an interest in local business and community af- fairs. FBLA participated in Vo- cational Education Week with a banquet commemorating those involved in vocational education and local employers of high school students. Fund raisers, such as the Sadie Haw- kins dance, contributed to the club's annual activities. These funds aided in financing the Hospitality House, a non-profit organization designed to alle- viate travel expenses of fam- ilies who have critically-ill rela- tives at MCV. Students involved in Market- ing and Fashion Merchandis- ing classes gained further ex- perience as members of the Marketing club. The club, sponsored by Miss Pierce, par- ticipated in activities that pre- pared students for careers in the marketing field. A fall rally with other marketing clubs opened the year’s activities. Clubs FHA,FBLA,MARKETING Throughout the year, the club members also participated in an officer's training conference at VCU, an employee-employ- er banquet, and a District Leadership contest at Clover- leaf Mall where many market- ing students were placed in various categories of competi- tion. Lisa McKenney placed first in Selling in Restaurant Marketing, John Breslin placed first in Selling in Food Market- ing, and Monti Lunsford placed first in the field of Pro- motion in Apparel and Acces- sories. Two of the club’s major accomplishments were a Mus- cular Dystrophy service pro- ject, coordinated by Lisa McKenney, and a full scale fashion show during Vocation- al Education Week, commen- tated by Rick Gray. These ac- tivities made the students aware of the demands and re- sponsibilities of the marketing field. Future Homemakers of America, sponsored by Mrs. Anderson, serviced both the school and the community. The club organized several com- munity projects, one being a Thanksgiving treat, organized by Dee Goodbody, for the sen- ior citizens of Mt. Pisgah Church. Students involved in FHA, who were enrolled in ei- ther Home Economics or family living, participated in several food, fashion, and hair care demonstrations. Emphasis on home management and family responsibilities prepared stu- dents for the transition from teenagers to adults. The basic functions that FBLA, FHA, and Marketing provided helped students in many ways to prepare for their careers and their futures.

Midlothian's Latin Club proved to be an Enduring Toga Working to prove that Latin was not dead at Midlothian, the Latin Club boasted 106 mem- bers and continually spon- sored activities for academic enrichment, socialization, and service to the school. With such a large club, participation and success in their many functions was continually insured. As members of the Virginia Junior Classical League, the club attended the annual state convention at the Norfolk Scope on November 18 and 19. With a total of 2,300 stu- dents trom ninety-six schools, Virginia maintained one of the largest conventions in the en- tire National Junior Classical League. The Midlothian dele- gates left school that Friday headed for the Holiday Inn Scope to begin a full weekend of activities. Projects such as mosaics and models created by students, were entered in com- petitions and judged by col- lege Latin students. Seminars, movies, and academic tests filled Friday's agenda, which ended with a dance for all the convention delegates. By Sat- urday afternoon, the Midloth- ian Latin Club had acquired a total of thirty-three awards, sev- enteen on academic tests and sixteen in arts and crafts. A spe- cial honor was received when junior fourth year student Curt Board was elected as state trea- surer for the entire Virginia Clubs Latin Club Tradition League. Special preparations and planning were made for the 1984 National Convention which was held over the sum- mer at the University of Rich- mond. The club's Christmas activi- ties included participation in the SCA project and a Christ- mas banquet. At the banquet, old members auctioned off newcomers to the club as slaves. The slaves, dressed in togas obeyed their masters faithtully throughout the dura- tion of one school day. For their October function, a Halloween party was held at Lance Wood's house. Dressed in costumes, members bobbed for apples and ate pizza. Later in the year the club sponsored a ski trip to Massanutten, pic- nics, and a senior banquet. A tull calender of activities throughout the year was proof that Midlothian Latin Club is definitely not dead. Latina Vi- vit!

Combining Ihree The Midlothian International Language Club was sponsored in its second year by devoted teachers who helped students run the club smoothly. Tips from experience were given to newly elected officers to plan the year’s activities. In Octo- ber, members of MILC chose their officers. President Marnie Crannis headed a long list: John Hodder, Vice President of Activities; Shannon Viveiros and Lynn Steele, Vice Presi- dents of Funds; Jon DeNunzio, Treasurer; Chris Farabaugh, Recording and Corresponding Secretary; Brian Purcell, Sec- retary of Attendance; and Nan- cy Welder, Reporter Histori- an. Following the elections, a Halloween party was given one day atter school. Entertainment included games such as bob- bing for apples. Mrs. Justis made an honorary appearance and told a ghost story. The Diner's Club was one as- pect of MILC which sought to emphasize different cultures. This group of students led by Chris Farabaugh organized trips to various local restaurants to sample their national cui- sine. Visits were made to Yen Ching, Casa Gallardo, the Taj Mahal, and others. The Christ- mas Banquet was a Diner's Club activity; French and Ital- ian foods were served. In keep- ing with tradition and the Christmas spirit of giving, the members of the club who brought presents exchanged them with one another through Santa Claus, played by Mr. Rick Gray. MILC played a large part in the organization of Language Week. Members escorted the foreign exchange students on AT THE CHRISTMAS BANQUET, club members work together to set up the festive decorations around the room. Into One the exchange day. The annual Taster’s Supper was supported by students who brought in dishes for the buffet dinner. It drew one of the largest tur- nouts in its history and profited over one thousand dollars. Because of the surplus in treasury due to the Taster’s Supper and candy sales, MILC was able to award three schol- arships to exceptionally quili- fied students. Teachers judged the applicants on academic performance, genuine interest in languages and foreign coun- tries, and impressions made in the personal interview. In the end, Sarah Cave and Shannon Viveiros received scholarships to France, and Chris Fara- baugh to Spain. MILC was more than a means of bringing students to- gether for social occasions; it united those with a common in- terest in foreign languages and cust oms.

From the student body to the commun ity ... Service was their Duty Throughout the year, the Student Council Association, otherwise known as the SCA, worked hard to keep in touch with the demands of the stu- dent body. They provided leadership and guidance, and it was through the SCA that stu- dents expressed their thoughts, feelings, and ideas about school life. Under the guidance of Mr. Duggan, SCA members par- ticipated in a number of benefi- cial activities. SCA prepared and organized the school ori- entation in late August for those newcomers who wanted to familiarize themselves with the school’s policies and struc- tural layout In the fall, they organized the Homecoming Parade and dance. This included the diffi- cult tasks of finding people will- ing to lend or drive their cars in the parade, and finding a band for the dance which would suit the tastes of the student body.

Headed by Mr. Gray, the committee led the students in chants and other spirit raising activities during basketball games and pep rallies through- out the year. Football season brought many strange and un- usual performances by the group. One such event oc- curred at an early pep rally when the male members of the committee dressed as cheer- leaders, entertaining both stu- dents and faculty. The surprise antic of the year was J.T.

Cavalier fans were baffled but Midlo stu- dents were delighted. The propaganda committee also joined the varsity cheer- leaders to help boost school spirit. They made frequent ap- pearances at basketball games, cheering and building pyra- mids with the cheerleaders. Special ‘‘theme nights,” used to intimidate opposing teams, were employed for each home basketball game. Beach Night, Toga Night, and Pajama Night were just some of the themes which brought exciting results on the court. The electrifying spirit and overall rowdiness of the group did indeed bring fear to rivals, as the Trojans won several close games throughout the season. This year’s propagan- da committee created a very different kind of spirit that greatly enhanced the 1983- 1984 sports season.

A Different Kind of Spirit Perhaps the true test of an athlete or an athletic team lies not in winning the game, the match, or tha race, but in the attempt to win. Trojan athletes and fans learned that there was more to the game than winning. {Team effort did not diminish, but there was more emphasis on overcoming mistakes and improving personal records. When coaches saw a deficiency, they worked their athletes to excel in other areas. Per- sonal effort showed as athletes worked in- dividually to improve their performance, yet teammates remained united as they en- couraged each other. Familiar cries of ‘Come on, only one more interval!”’ were often heard coming from the track. Several Midlothian teams ended their 'seasons on victorious notes. Both boys’ basketball teams enjoyed promising re- coveries as the JV’s readjusted after many injuries for end of the season wins and as the varsity remained in contention for tour- nament play.

One of the nice things about the new school will be its improved facilities, such as a new track and training facilities. eda ‘never quit” attitude which set Trojan athletes apart from others. The boys’ bas- ketball team with its ‘Kamikaze defense’”’ and assertive play typified this spirit. The wrestling team was often defeated before a match began. Even with a lack of partici- pants the team competed and worked out together. Adjusting to a new coach, the varsity football team experienced early victories and hard fought games. Despite limits of size, the girls’ basketball team went on to capture a district title and play in regional competition. The soccer team had continued success with a strong re- cord, despite the fact that many key start- ers had graduated. Deserving recognition was the JV foot- ball team which finished with an outstand- ing record and a second place district fin- ish.

Last years’ coach, Dennis Moody, chose not to return as head coach for the team, leav- ing Midlothian without a head coach.

Despite the team’s early problems, they exploded into the season with three consecu- tive victories against Colonial Heights, Thomas Dale, and Po- whatan. Although the team had a good start, Coach lannucci was worried. “'In the first game against Colonial Heights we had four fumbles. These turn- overs foreshadowed the trou- bles we were going to have.” Coach lannucci was right. In the next game against Mato- coa, Midlothian had a disap- pointing seven turnovers.

Sophomore Kenny Robin- son brought points tor the team, but illness during the season curtailed his success. Toward the end of the season he was forced to forteit several matches. The lack of wrestlers was definitely the team’s greatest deficiency. When other schools from the district sent thirteen wrestlers to participate in matches and Midlothian could only send eight or nine, the Trojan grapplers were de- feated almost before they be- gan. Kevin Thompson, junior wrestler, summed up the feel- ing of the team by comment- ing, ‘Before we went to a meet, we had already lost because we had to forfeit to many.” LOOKING FOR A MOVE against his Godwin opponent, Kenny Robinson thinks about every chance he has for a pin.

No matter what the score, the Trojans were never “out of the game.” Their ‘nev- er quit” attitude provided the momentum which carried them to several important wins in the twenty-one game sched- ule.

The im- provement made in their play, according to the coach, more than doubled. While handicapped by be- ing a small team, Midlothian compensated by using their defensive talents. Led by Jeff Chambers, Larry Dean, and Mike Stallings, the Trojan’s backcourt press enabled them to come back and defeat their opponents after being behind by more than ten points at the half. This backcourt press, termed by Bird's coach as the ‘kamikaze press,’ helped them throughout the season. The leading scorer and re- bounder during the season was Todd Parks.

Advanced in Regional Competition oming off a 1-9 sea- son in 1983, the Midlo boys’ track team improved in 1984 by finishing with a record of four wins and six losses. With wins over Colonial Heights, Godwin, Matoaca, and Powha- tan the boys were pleased with this year’s effort. Coach Bill Schneider was excited about the teams’ improvement and felt the boys were a much bet- ter team than in ‘83. As the first meet at Colonial Heights approached, the team was pumped up and prepared to defeat the Colonials. Midlo placed first, second, and third in the pole vault, and first and second in the high jump. When the running events start- ed, the team was not ready to give up. After a second and a third in the mile and a first and second in the two mile, the team had wrapped-up the meet by scoring over forty points. With winning only only more meet before the last meet, the boys were disap- pointed with their mid-season performance. The team then traveled to Matoaca for a tri- meet with Matoaca and Powha- tan. Once again, as in almost all meets, the boys placed first, second, and third in the pole vault. The team finished their season with a 4-6 record after beating both Matoaca and Po- whatan. In the district meet, the boys were confident of doing well. The pole vaulters, led by Eric Faison, placed well with Eric winning with a twelve foot vault. David Burton won the high jump at 6’4 , and Bryan Hyler placed fourth. Jeff Kerr placed sixth in the discus, Scott McCumber third in the two mile, and Chris Burford fourth in the 400. The team placed fourth overall in the meet. At regionals, Eric Faison won the pole vault at 13'6 and Bri- an Hyler won the high jump with a jump of 6'4”. Improved individual perfor- mances and strong determina- tion helped the boys improve their season record. In the last three years Midlo had only won three meets. After 1984, the team, by winning four meets, had established a win- ning tradition that they had lost earlier.

Sports Boys’ Tennis 177 i or sates a te st As a suburban development outside the capital city, Midlothian — including its businessmen and retailers — experience continued expansion and success. Once humorously rumored occupied by “dirt farmers,’ Midlothian has proved its versa- tility by blending recreational facilities, housing developments, retail stores, and businesses into one community. Located in Chesterfield County, one of the fastest growing counties on the east coast, Mid- lothian businesses’ futures point in a posi- tive direction of growth. At times, yearbook staffers felt that they attended school for one purpose: to raise money. As members of many other school organizations, the students sold M M's, candy bars, and pop corn in addition to the yearbook ads. But from soliciting to area businessmen outside the school envi- ronment, staffers refreshingly received the merchants’ welcome smiles and contribu- tions. CAREFULLY CHOOSING PARTY DECORA- TIONS a mother browses through the many stationary accessories at RSVP. A SALES- CLERK AT THE POPCORN THEATER fills an order. Many of the stores at Sycamore Square are specialty shops which carry unique mer- chandise and emphasize personal customer service. BOTH THE CUSTOMER AND THE RETAILER seem pleased over a new purchase. The De’al has become a popular place for Mid- lothian girls to purchase clothes and accesso- ries. DURING LUNCHTIME, the Midlothian Pharmacy serves from their grill menu. Later in the afternoon, the bar is crowded with hungry students. In keeping with the traditional values of the community's rural setting, Midlothian area business parks and shops, such as Sycamore Square, depend on very colo- nial architecture to blend with surround- ing residential areas. Conveniently located near the school, Midlothian Station and the Midlothian Pharmacy served many students needs. At 1:50 with the dismissal of school or about 4:30 with the ending of many practices, these local retailers could expect an influx of hungry students. Ice crear and pizza restaurants with video games attracted some, while others opted for the candy and snack grill of the pharmacy. As business parks and professional of- fices continue to open, and Route 60 be- comes more built up with shopping cen- ters and fast food restaurants, Midlothian businesses continue to point towards more successful futures.

Index 203 Never before have | under- taken such a large responsibil- ity as serving as editor of the 1983-84 Trojan. Over the past four years, Midlothian and everything it represented was a main influence in my life. This yearbook serves as a token of my appreciation to the school and all its memories. Mrs. Miles, the staff, and my- self set out to capture a turning point in Midlothian High School's history. I only hope that the staff learned as much as I did. I thank them for their de- dicatlon and perserverance throughout the year, without their help this book would not have been possible. A special thanks for their support goes to the faculty and administration, especially Mr. Carter, Mr. Hulcher, and Mr. Poates. Mike Smith, our Hertt Jones representative, was a constant source of stability throughout all deadlines. His invaluable assistance and ad- vice, as well as his sense of hu- mor, was always appreciated by the staff. 1 extend my deep- est thanks to him for his dedica- tion and patience. Finally, | wish there was Colophon Midlothian High School's Volume 28 of the Trojan was published by Herff Jones Pub- lishing Company in Gettys- burg, Pennsylvania.

Her devotion to this yearbook, the many hours spent proofing and organizing, can only be known by those who work with her. Thank you, Mrs. Miles, for supporting and guiding me. I dedicate the 1983-84 Tro- jan tothestudent body, faculty, and administration of Midloth- ian High School — they are the memories of the past and the hope of the future. Together and alone we have and will face many turning points, this yearbook is to the hope that they all be as rewarding as our years at Midlothian.

DISCUSSING A BASKETBALL THEME NIGHT, Mr. Gray and Miss Price coordinate the cheer- leaders and Solidarity plans. Graduation and exams marked the end of a Turning Point In years past, the last days of school and the freedom of sum- mer vacation were greatly an- ticipated, but suddenly the or- dinary activities aroused more poignant emotions as they were intensified by thoughts of the move to the new building. Thesis papers, projects, and exams characterized the end of another typical school year. A new dimension of finality arose trom the realization by students and faculty that they were ap- proaching the end of the last ; year the present Midlothian would serve as a high school. (continued) CHEERING THE TEAM ON, cheerleaders contemplate the last home game to be played on the familiar field. Turning Point (continued) Normal end-of-the-year ac- tivities aroused more sentimen- tal emotions as Midlothian's termination as a high school grew nearer. Students cleaned out lockers for the last time and teachers cleaned out shelves and cabinets to pack books and materials in preparation for the move. The final baseball game and track meet were held on present facilities and students gathered at the familiar ‘‘Midlo beach” during lunch for the last time. 1983-84 was atime of added responsibility for many. With the acquisition of drivers’ li- censes, becoming a legal adult, or even holding a first job, stu- dents were preparing them- selves for the future. Academi- cally, students and faculty ex- panded their knowledge with special presentations by speak- ers or dramatists and by class- room studies of Shakespeare, Pascal, and Pasteur. Battle of the Brains and Olympics of the Mind challenged young schol- ars to perform under pressure. Athletic participants constantly learned the values of sports- manship, team spirit, and dedi- cation and realized that win- ning was not everything. The school and those within it had grown and were at a turning point.
