The stands were jammed with rowdy students. Scott Rin- aldi, Jon DeNunzio, and Steve Spencer led the crowd in chants which increased specta- tor support for the team. These same students met at the school parking lot on away-game nights to journey ‘‘caravan” style. They also offered rides to anyone Deoy ee, transporta- tion. In hopes of improving grades and students pertor- mance, attendance and partici- pation policies underwent changes. Homeroom was moved to follow first period in hopes that students would be more conscientious about ar- riving on time to school. Stu- dents’ grades were not only composed of tests, quizzes, and homework grades, but also of participation grades. The faculty hoped that the addition of this participation grade would help stop students from skipping classes or at least penalize those who still insisted on following this practice. In the office, Mrs. Wauters car- ried out a new policy, making phone calls daily to parents of students not in school. Parents were often surprised to find S Sanne DRA A ARENNaRRR He ROE, their child was “‘sick.”’ Some smokers had problems accepting another ruling, the prohibition of smoking on school grounds, including the smoking area. The courtyard was taken from the smokers and given to the seniors for out- door dining and lounging. Even though Midlo was fac- ing many changes in rules and in policies, it was still the same old school that came through shining, improving through the changes.

To the average member of the student body, it meant hearing the same ques- tion over and over again, “Why is there no pep rally?” The answer to the question was not a popular reply. It was the behavior at the last pep rally that prompted the school administrators to ban further rallies. However, this disci- plinary action did not dampen the spirit of many students. In- stead, they showed support for their school by wearing wacky outtits during Spirit Week.

On Friday, which was Blue Gold Day, Trojan colors could be seen everywhere, from the cheerleaders, to the students, to the signs that hung on the walls. The annual Powderputt Game was held on Wednes- day night with the junior and senior girls ready to ‘‘fight it out.’ The rivalry didn't begin with the game, but that’s where it ended.

Prior to the game the parade of floats circled the field. At halftime the Latin Club was announced as the winner of Most Original Float Award with the Senior Class Float taking Best Theme. Also, dur- ing the halftime activities, the homecom- ing court was introduced and Julie Hulett was crowned Queen and Christy Gal- lagher was named Maid of Honor. The dance on Saturday night highlight- ed the week. The popular local group The Dads played at the dance. As 11:30 rolled around, the band had yet to play a slow song. However, this did not bother some who preferred to socialize or to just sit and talk to the ir dates. Only scattered remnants of torn decora- tions remained as visible proof that home- coming had actually occurred. However, the students held their memories of the hustle and bustle of the week that was Homecoming 1985.

However, along with this carefree feeling came the harsh reality of taking SATS and filling out involved college applications. Yet they hung to- gether and made their last per- formance their best.

The chorus department held auditions for three days after school. Because of great response, tryouts were ex- tended for several days. Attracted were many exper- ienced singers such as Kelley Ruth who sang a spanish song, Kristin Whisner who per- formed “Out Here On My Own,” and Leslie Hayward who was accompanied by her sister, Lisa Hayward. Popular bands such as C.A.S., Perfect Circle, and a band known as Extended Play also were con- testants. JAMMIN TO THE STONES, Ex- tended Play shows their impres- sive music abilities. Sean Hoppe and Greg Moo- galian sang popular ‘‘Dead” songs but were kicked off the stage when a few “‘foul’’ words were uttered. Most students were disgruntled when this oc- curred but the acts which fol- lowed diverted their anger into appreciation of the talents shown by other performers. Other acts included jug- gling, fiddling, dancing, and piano playing. Although no winner was announced at the show, students believed a more competitive spirit would be ar- roused had an award been giv- en.

August of '86. 18 Student Life Just when we thought we had it all tigured out... “Men are working in the building. If the fire alarm goes off, please disregard it.’’ There were so many false alarms that it became a joke among stu- dents and teachers. What if there was a real fire? Who woul d actually believe the alarm was functioning correct- ly? The frequency of false alarms was symptomatic of the building problems which, after a year, still remained. Another problem, a ‘'so- called” safety feature, existed as a result of the false alarm. The corridor doors automati- cally closed and locked follow- ing the fire alarm. Designed to prevent the spread ot fire, the doors became a nuisance, forc- ing students to manually open the heavy, noisy doors for the rest of the day after the mal- functioning alarm. Another electronic problem concerned the heating and cooling of the building. Many teachers complained of exces- sive heat with temperatures in the 90's in their rooms, while others had no heat at all and watched blue-lipped students shiver through the hour's in- struction. All the complaints were of no avail as these condi- tions persisted all year. At one point, however, Ms. Cortopassi received relief when techni- cians discovered a burnt-out computer chip at fault for the absence of circulating air and heat. The problems associated with room temperature and cir- culation caused students and teachers alike to suffer from year-long colds and head- aches. Midlothian’s student body grew, causing a definite over- crowding. One well known and not easily avoided traffic jam area was located between the library and English hall. Sometimes students took their frustrations out by shoving fel- low students out of the way. This excess of of students meant more classroom space was needed. For temporary re- lief, trailers were used to han- dle health, history, and govern- ment classes. Although the heating and cooling systems functioned adequately there, students complained of ‘facing the weather’’ when walking to and trom the trailers. With the spring came the construction crew as work be- gan on the addition on the western side of the sch ool. By early March, excavation be- gan. Construction, trailers, and heaps of building materials lit- tered the teacher's parking lot. One traffic problem was par- tially corrected. After dealing with the students complaints and the horn blowing while waiting to leave school, the county administrators re- opened LeGordon Road. Then students only complained about the rule regarding the buses and leaving school. Once the buses cleared the bus loop, students were permit- ted to leave, having little time to wait with both roads being opened. Although many of these mal- functions will be corrected with time, others will surely come to take their places. But one must remember, with a school the size of Midlothian, it’s a wonder that these are the only quirks with which Midlo is faced.

Whether jogging with a walkman, doing homework, partying, or just driving around, music is usually in the atmosphere. But what is the atmosphere? What kind of music do Mid- lothian High School students want to hear? In a survey taken in early March students were able to express their musical interests in topics ranging from favorite radio sta- tion to favorite concert to favorite song of all times. Coming through the speakers of the ma- iority of Midlothian’'s stereos were obvious- ly the various sounds of rock. According to the survey the major source of this music was XL-102, the radio station that ‘rocks ' Richmond.” | Though students showed that they had many common musical interests, they maintained their individuality in the diver- sity of the categories of Band and All-Time favorites. The spectrum of favorite bands ranged from Rush to The Psychedelic Furs to Bob Marley and the Wailers to The Gratetul Dead. Among the favorite songs of all times were the Beatles ‘Let It Be,’ the upbeat tempo of Kool and the Gang’s ‘Celebra- tion’, and the Led Zeppelin classic, ‘'Stair- way to Heaven.” Favorites topping the al- bum all-time list included freshman favor- ite Rush Moving Pictures, the Beatles White Album, and the longtime chart- topper the Eagles Hotel California. Music was a very important part to each students’ life throughout his high school years. Whether it was oldies but goodies from the past or new releases, music was always there as a dependable source of entertainment.

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY LIBRARY VIRGINIA Student Life Midlothian Weekends Your Ticket to Entertainment When the 6th period bell rang on Friday afternoon, Midlo students were heard talking about their long await- ed weekend. The word “‘week- end” meant different things to different people. To some it was the opportunity to spend quiet time with their boy girl friends and families. To others it was a time for meeting new people and partying with friends. Parties ranged from small get-togethers of under 30 people to big bashes of up to 150 people. Many of the larger parties concluded early or to use a familiar expression, ‘got busted” by the police. Without a doubt, the biggest question for the weekend was, ‘‘Where’s the party?” Because of the lack of par- ties, this question was often an- swered by ‘Let's go to McDon- alds and see if anything else is going on.” At this “hoppin”’ place, Midlo students over- come by boredom showed their more ‘‘mature”’ side which resulted in the hiring of a security guard by McDonalds. Many Midlo students coyly nicknamed this guard ‘‘Hitler’’ because of his rather militaristic tactics. People with more money who wanted to do something a little more extravagant on the Student Life weekends decided to take in a movie at $4.00 a ticket. Some of the more popular movies of the year were Pretty In Pink, Youngblood, Rock IV, Jag- ged Edge, and Down and Out in Beverly Hills. Because most of the night- time goings on were held in- side throughout the year, they remained fairly consistent. However, because daily week- end activities were outside, a change of seasons also created a change of activities. In the fall many people enjoyed the out- doors by playing tag football or watching the Trojans in their Friday night games. As the winter months rolled around groups flocked to nearby ski resorts such as Wintergreen and Massanutten. When the ice had all melted and the days became warmer, students spent time relaxing by the James River in spite of the ‘no swimming’ controversy. Even though there were sighs of boredom and every- one complained about the scarcity of weekend activities, Midlo students managed to keep themselves busy. If all else failed and the weekend blues were not overcome, just “riding around” or “hanging out’ was always there as an op- tion. STANDING AT A DISTANCE, McDonalds’ “‘Hitler’’ stoutly stands guard.

Students Go Their Own Way Atter the Bell Up at 6:30 A.M.., in class at 7:40, out of school at 1:50 — that’s the way the school day goes! However, there was life after school, even if it signified different things to different people. For some the end of the school day meant the start of the work day, earning money for such trivialities as the week- end or such serious things as college expenses. Some students and athletes found that even though the regular school day had ended, they still had responsibilities such as practices or make-up work. Those who had opted for the seventh period day found themselves staying at school until 4:00 P.M., 2 days a week. Student Life Hurrying home to watch a fa- vorite soap opera kept many girls (and some guys) busy dur- ing the afternoon. This T.V. watching was always mor e ap- pealing than the drudgery of homework. Of course, the fa- vorite pastime, talking on the telephone, was always an alter- native to which many turned. After along school day and a short lunch period, the idea of going to get food after school helped make the day bearable. McDonald's, Hardee's, and Wendy's each provided an at- mosphere where one could eat and socialize. For most students it did not matter what activity followed the school day. What was im- portant was ‘School's out!!”’ THESE TWO GIRLS, Kathy Brown and Becky Saunders de- cide to stay after school and fin- ish their homework a little early. “FIGHTING” OVER THE START- ING POSITION IN SOCCER, Sen- iors Tim McKeever and David De- lia are on their way to practice after school.

Student Life The monotonous sc hool days were interrupted by Holiday Celebrations! The day-to-day monotony of school life was thankfully inter- rupted from time to time by celebrations and holidays. Had it not been for these ‘‘disrup- tions,’ most students and teachers would have ‘gone crazy. Halloween was the first cele- bration, and Midlo students ob- served this with a costume con- test. There were many unusual outfits such as Liz Lenkey’s Rolling Paper’ costume. Out of 25 entries, Cathy Saunders’ Upside Down Football Play- er’ won her the ‘Most Origi- nal” award and $15.00. Rob Burns was awarded $15.00 and the title of ‘Cutest Cos- tume.’’ His bright orange pumpkin costume turned heads all day.

This same giving spirit carried into the Christmas season when Midlo students celebrat- ed the joyous season with the annual Christmas concert and a door-decorating contest. Mr. Terrell’s homeroom won. this contest, and they were award- ed a Dunkin’ Donuts breakfast. Love was in the air in Febru- ary as Valentine’s Day rolled around. The smell of carnations was everywhere as the Trojan Review sponsored a flower sale — red was for lovers, pink for special triends, white for a se- cret love, and the infamous black carnation for ‘special en- emies.’’ St. Patrick’s Day fol- lowed and there was now green in the air. Although this IN A BIT OF A BIND, English teacher Miss Adams seems to bea little “tied up” in the spirit of the Halloween holiday. was not a wildly celebrated holiday, there were still many people who wore the tradition- al green and the ‘‘Kiss me, I'm Irish!’ pins, to avoid getting a pinch. Easter was next and this spe- cial holiday was celebrated with candy giving, and there were even a few people with Easter flowers. There was also a little rabbit wandering the halls in the form of Mr. Terrell, who dressed in a Peter Rabbit outtit, complete with a carrot. The holidays at Midlo were celebrated with perhaps more spirit than they had been in the past. These ‘“‘disruptions’’ helped students relieve them- selves of the pressures of school. People relaxed and en- joyed themselves more be- cause of these pleasant inter- ruptions. THE WINNER! Mr. Terrell’s door, brightly decorated with a Christ- mas display, won his homeroom first place in Midlo’s annual door-decorating contest. “I MUST SAY, I MUST SAY!”, Steve Spencer dances up a storm, as he portrays Saturday Night Live character, Ed Greeley, for the Halloween costume contest.

No NI Student Life the en-Chonging personal tQVonites As quickly as one fad be- came vogue, it was gone, pop- ularized into oblivion. Trends in fashion and vocabulary came and went, symbols of the fickleness of high-school teen- agers. The most obvious trendy items were clothes. Girls be- gan the year in bright-colored Forenza sweaters. Around homecoming the sweater fad lengthened and short Forenza sweaters were replaced by the thigh hugging knits of the Limited Express. After Christ- mas girls and guys alike re- turned to school decked out in a popular gift item, the Britches rugby shirt. The transition from winter to spring increased the popularity of Guess? jeans. As the weather became warmer, skirts and pants got shorter and shorter. By final exams, tanned Midlo students constantly sported jeans, mini-skirts, and T-shirts. T-shirts ranged in vari- ety from the tie dye of the im- mortal Grateful Dead to the flashy colors and abstract de- signs of Wave Riding Vehicles. At the opposite end, the Nikes, K-Swisses, and Tretorns were being replaced by Reebok high and low tops. ““Out’’ was the big flashy costume jewelry and replacing it for both girls and guys were handmade bracelets of fish hooks and col- ored string. “Oh my Gawd, you don't understand”’ the many _ addi- tions brought to Midlo lingo this year. “It’s kind of scary” the way new terms were always being added to daily dialogue. The ‘‘not too cool’’ Midlo ‘groovers’’ weren't up on the new phrases, but it’s for sure that the ‘jammin’ ’ people knew ‘‘what was happenin’.”’ People running down the halls screaming, ‘Que Pasa, baby?” and ‘Hey, what's up?” were not few and far between. Ev- eryone asked each other, ‘What's goin’ on this week- end?” Parties were ‘‘busted”’ early — that was a “bummer” — had to “check out the McDonalds scene.”’ Sunny Sat- urdays meant ‘‘catching week- end rays at the Pony Pasture.” Graduation was not filled with “goodbye’s ’ but the more opti- mistic ‘‘catch ya’ laters.” SENIOR MEGAN DOUGHERTY stays cool in the senior courtyard by wearing the ever-popular tank top. 3 YES, EVEN TEACHERS FOLLOW FADS AND TRENDS.

Limosines lining Franklin Street and revolving glass doors set the scene for one of the most magnificent evenings in Midlothian history. The John Marshall Hotel became the stage for the 1986 prom as couples ascended the grand staircase into the mirrored lob- by, which led to a spacious ballroom resplendent with bal- conies and chandeliers. Commencing the evening's activities, the traditional figure wound itself from the balconies down the elegant staircase where Mr. Greg Hulcher an- nounced the prom king and queen.

Academics Divider GO Ui Foreigners expanded Midlo‘s Cullis In March, Midlo got a good taste of Eu- ropean cuture. Forty-five exchange stu- dents from France and Germany spent 3 weeks with selected students from the lan- guage club. The hosts and hostesses took their students to the places they normally went and also to places that the French and Germans had never seen, such as Washington D.C., Williamsburg, and Vir- ginia Beach. Most of the hosts and hostess- es enjoyed having a 3 week companion to exchange cultural ideas and experiences. Many students did not realize that there were foreign students attending Midlo un- til they turned down the language hall and thought they were in a European airport. Teachers throughout the school took ad- vantage of the visitors by having them speak to their classes. Common issues dis- cussed in and out of classes were dating, night life, and school. The foreign students were impressed by the casual American lifestyle. They also were surprised at the patriotic allegiances of the American people. On the subject of education, the foreign students comment- ed that they felt their schools were more difficult because they are required to take more math and science courses. Also, ac- cording to them, their examinations are much more difficult. As the students returned home to their native countries, they took with them spe- cial memories of their trip. They and their host families will long remember the ex- periences they shared and the ideas they traded. DURING THE INTERNATIONAL CAFE, the French sometimes appeared amused by the English accent carried over to the French lan- guage.

Campaigning for votes on Midlo Soil Durrette Captivates the Crowd In October, the honors gov- ernment classes were required to do honors projects dealing with either the state or local government. Michelle Bel- lanca went all out and invited the Republican candidate for governor, Wyatt Durrette, to Midlothian to speak to the gov- ernment classes and interested students. Mr. Durrette took time off the last days of his campaign to talk with students not yet even eligi- ble to vote, just to show that candidates did know that there were people below the age of 18, and that they were interest- ed in all age groups. Candi- date Durrette opened the as- sembly by giving his platform and clearning up any miscon- ceptions that the students had about his policies. Then he left the rest of the time as a question and answer period. The first questions were about his opponent and his running mates. Then the ques- tions everyone really wanted to hear started. One student broke the ice by asking, “So what's the deal with the drink- ing age?”’ Other questions were ones dealing with rating music albums and tapes and the possible decrease in mini- mum wage in order to raise job opportunities. The visit caused quite a com- motion as Durrette and his en- tourage trooped through the commons during lunchtime. TV newsmen photographed Durrette and his daughter Dea, a ninth grader, before Durrette and his followers left to resume his busy campaign schedule. JUNIOR MIKE FARABAUGH, one of the questioners asked Mr. Durrette about the possibility ofa state lottery. EVEN THE GREAT PUMPKIN, Rob Burns, came to Midlo on Hal- loween to hear Mr. Durrette and ask a few questions. We've Got A Job For You! Doctors, lawyers, hairdress- ers, models, and psychologists are some of the future profes- sions of Midlo students. Febru- ary 26 was designated Career Day. On that day students wan- dered from room to room lis- tening to professionals speak about their careers. The sched- ules followed by the students were chosen after a survey was administered and the students’ top four choices were sched- uled. Mrs. Joyce Morene, guid- ance counselor in charge of the career program, said that Mid- lothian sponsored a career day five years ago, but there has not been a program since that time. To prepare for Career Day, lists of possible speakers were compiled from other schools as well as parents of Midlo students. Following Career Day, stu- dents had an opportunity in a survey to express their opin- ions of the program. Seniors es- pecially commented that they felt they needed more time to talk to the speakers and to get to know the fields of study. Also, from the feedback the five most popular sessions were 40 Academics Career Day determined. They were busi- ness administration, engineer- ing, the F.B.I., psychology, and law. Two of the speakers added to their presentations with bul- let-proot vests, handcuffs, and heads of hair. Mr. Henry Handy, F.B.I. agent, gave his listeners pamphlets and showed them his wanted post- ers of the Briley Brothers. Phys- ical therapist, Mrs. Janet Showalter, even brought along an artificial leg to demonstrate part of her profession. Overall, the day was a suc- cess with students and faculty. Mrs. Morene quoted that, ‘‘Ca- reer Day as a whole gave a more realistic picture of job conditions and salaries.’’ The program itself was aimed at the majority of the choices desired by the students. The only major problem of the day was the time limit for each session. Most students felt the time con- straints limited “in-depth” re- search of the careers. Career day can best be described as helping students as they begin the climb to the professional world. 4 A BROADCASTER FROM CHAN- NEL 8, Gene Walsh helps stu- dents with a chart to explain the work of some jobs.

A motley mixture of foreign language shone through A Week of Cultural As a mixture of French, Spanish, German, and Italian cultures flooded Midlothian’s halls, Language Week began. Language Week 1986 was ac- companied by the visit of many French and German students. The German students arrived in mid-March while the French students arrived one week lat- er. They were welcomed into the homes of many Midlo stu- dents and attempted to adapt to Midlothian High School. Many of these students partook in frequent question and an- swer sessions. Students study- ing their native language were interested in learning the so- cial, school, and family lives of T TAT at Language Week A ademics k.xchange the foreign students. The highlight of the week was the International Café, sponsored by MILC and the Latin Club. The Café, which brought Language Week to an exciting end, was held on Thursday, March 27, the last day of school before spring break. Mrs. Paulsen headed-up the Café, an idea which she brought from Kansas. She stat- ed that, ‘The Café was a party the students created for thems- leves... The Café which lasted two hours after school was enjoyed by more than 600 students and faculty members including 40 German and French students. Each café served a meal, des- sert, and drink from their coun- try. Some of the mysterious meals were quiche, canneloni, and tacos. Tickets were sold beforehand for $4.00 or for $5.00 at the door. The students were required to speak the lan- guage of the café, and many students held positions ranging from hostess to food server. Students and language teachers began preparations and work on decorations months in advance to make the International Café and Lan- guage Week a roaring success! CARRIE MILLER AND PEGEEN CALPIN gave advertising for the Italian Café Di Trevi their first preference.

Language Weeks Academics The Leaders ot the Pack The exceptional students of Midlothian High School were banded together as members of the National Honor Society and Junior Honor Society. These academically oriented students possessed leadership qualities which were used in creating a number of new stu- dent-oriented activities. One of the more popular ideas sponsored by the NHS was the Battle of the Bands which was held in April. This Friday night event attracted not only many Midlo students but also students from other schools throughout the county. Another activity, candy sales, raised money to sponsor two club members, Maureen Feeney and Lynn Schutze, for the National Scholarhip Awards. At the year’s end, sponsors Betty Ballard and Sue Robertson were among the hosts of the NHS-sponsored re- ception held to honor teachers. The club also kept busy with annual activities such as the tapping for new members and the reception that followed. Jumping from a mere 35 members to 117 members, the Academics Honor Societies size of the JHS grew tremen- dously after the tapping in March. ‘The induction and re- ception that followed were really a great success,’ said co- sponsor Dalene Landes. Newly introduced this year by the JHS were the Incentive Service Awards. Presented at the end of the year, these awards were created to moti- vate club involvement. Also used to increase members’ in- terests was the invitation of a different guest speaker to each meeting. These specially se- lected speakers were chosen to speak on topics of interest, such as psychiatry. The JHS also helped in the community by a number of ser- vice projects such as painting at the Peterson Project and sponsoring a needy family at Christmas. At school, they helped by making computer programs for the library and sponsoring a dance in the com- mons following the last boys’ basketball game. Due to the leadership of President Glenn Abeln, the JHS “worked great as a cooperative body,” said co-sponsor Olethia Winfield.

A new county-wide program was introduced this year at Midlothian High School. It was called the seventh period day. The purpose of adding a sev- enth period to the regular school day was to provide extra time for students to fit in all the academic classes needed to fulfill the new standard of twen- ty-two credits. The seventh period was held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2-4. Transportation by bus was provided for those who needed it. Four teachers instructed students in the four subjects which were taught. They were Mr. Melillo, world geography; Mrs. Moss and Mrs. Dean, typing; and Mrs. Reese, computer mathematics. There were, however, some problems with the new pro- gram. First, the students who participated could not take part in any sports or extra-cur- ricular activities because of the time involved. Also, the teach- ers who taught this extra period were often tired after such a long day. As with all new programs, decisions regarding the effec- tiveness of the program were difficult to make after only one year. Administrators and _ stu- dents both were uncertain as to the future of the seventh period day.

Seventh Period Academics A 47 48 Midlo’s Night School Introducing a new program for the purpose of helping stu- dents improve their perfor- mance on their exams, the Key Club instituted the exam study hall. These study halls grabbed the attention of the news media including The Richmond News Leader, The Gazette and The Richmond Times Dispatch. They were also fea- tured in a story covered by a local television network WWEBT 12. The school building was open from 6:00 to 10:00 P.M. on the three nights of exam week for those students who needed help in specific sub- jects or just needed a place to study. Members of the National Academics Key Club Study Hall Honor Society, many teachers and Mrs. Montgomery's Ger- man students volunteered to help tutor the students in the cafeteria and open commons. The library was used by those who wished to study in silence. The students were required to sign in and out so that par- ents could check their child's attendance. The exam study halls were carefully monitored in order to maintain a serious, “get down to work attitude with no fooling around. A sin- gle fifteen-minute Little Cae- sar's pizza break was held which enabled the students to take a break from studying and to socialize a little. Then they were required to get back to tk e atmosphere promote - more effective studying. work. Approximately 200 students attended each night, signifying the acceptance and need for such a program. Overall, teachers and students alike felt that the study halls benefitted those who attended. Mr. Gray, who coordinated the activity, along with the Key Club mem- bers, stated, ‘Everybody kept telling me what a wonderful idea it was, and I kept wonder- ing whether it would work. Thanks to a lot of work by the Key Club and a lot of help from the faculty and students, it did work and I guess it was a good idea.”’ MR.

A committee of 15 teachers from a cross sec- tion of courses researched oth- er schools’ academic letter policies and processes to come up with the criteria and guide- lines for the selection of Midlo students. Requirements for this highly prized award were based on the students’ first three nine- weeks’ grading periods. Any student who earned all A’s and or B’s received the letter. make one C during the time if he had at least one A to offset the C. The teachers chose eight dif- ferent chenille letters and It was possible for a student to — placed them in the display case outside the main office. Then the entire student body voted for the letter of their choice. Number four was the winner. It was a white chenille letter with blue and gold trim. On May 21 during a special school assembly, 260 students received a academic letter, with five students receiving both the letter and the star. The four elite were Chris Cole, Jen- nifer Dundas, Carrie Miller, and Alice Yu. Guest speaker and the National Honor Soci- ety’s Teacher of the Year, Dr. Bill Rademaker, spoke about high academic achievement and commended Midlo’s “cream of the crop” for a job well done. AND THE WINNER IS! This che- nille letter was the one out of eight possible chosen by the Midlo student body to be awarded to those who achieved academic excellence.

From the fury of the cyclone to three clicks of Dorothy's heels, the cast and crew of The Wiz mesmerized audiences with a special magic seldom seen in amateur theatrical pro- duction. Emily Monroe, a freshman, starred as Dorothy and dis- played vocal talents that capti- vated the crowd during solos such as “Home” and “Be a Lion.” For Tom Schultheis, perfecting his role as scare- crow was not easy. Although a very talented dancer, he had to become as flexible and bouncy as a scarecrow. Matt Mitchell, The Tinman, also had to prac- tice long hours to perfect his stiff soft-shoe routine. He claimed, “I had never really danced before so it took me a lot longer than the others to AS PUNISHMENT FOR DISRE- SPECT, Lord High Underling, Scotti Smith, is forced to kiss the foot of Evilene, Andrea Johnson, giving her great pleasure.

SNAPPING THEIR FINGERS AND SINGING TO THE RYHTHM, Dorothy and the Scarecrow belted out the tunes in their duet “Ease on down the road“ Academics The Wiz learn the basic dance steps.” The King of the Jungle, Mike Farabaugh, roared his way into the hearts of the audience by his grave voice and his fierce outbursts of courage, followed by his quick retreat into cow- ardliness. With the help of professional choreographers, Harry Brice and Martin Gales, students twirled through the air in hours of brutal practice preparing for the unique dance numbers. Numbers such as Tornado Bal- let left the audience breathless. The eye of the Tornado, danced by Audrey Lubienski, was particulary visually dra- matic. Mr. Brice and his assistant Mr. Gales, theatre and dance professionals who had taught and worked in New York and Crowds Flocked en Masse Down The Yellow Brick Road! Tennessee, never expected to find the latent talent existing in a student cast. Both men said they were extremely chal- lenged by working with such enthustiastic students. Tom Schultise, the scarecrow, was a pertect example of this enthu- sism. When he began working with Mr. Brice and Mr. Gales, he commented, “I'll never be able to do the splits, but I'll try.” Sure enough, he did and suc- ceeded, bringing out some “‘oohs”' from the audience. The dance group also certainly re- sponded to direction as head monkey Greg Murphey led his frenzied dancers in wild danc- ing and acrobatic thrillers. On the week of the musical, students viewed sneak pre- views from dance scenes to en- courage attendance. T-shirts, buttons, posters, and an. nouncements publicized the attraction. ‘Munchkins’ ever passed out doughnut holes a Sycamore Square to draw at tention to the musical. The Wiz was presented three nights each with a full house. It was such a hit that students formec petitions to have The Wiz pre. sented again. Over 600 stu: dents signed, but the cast anc crew felt it would be anti-cli: matic to have a fourth show. Mrs. Katherine Baugher, the director and Grady Daniels the student director, both de- voted long, hard, and often ag: gravating hours in making The Wiz what it was — ‘A fabulou: and most enjoyable show.” Oe RRs cuss bi Pe : A ‘ Mite, THE COWARDLY LION, MIKE FARABAUGH, forced into scrub- bing the floors of the Witches’ castle, is in agony while carrying two heavy pails of water.

Clapping hands, foreign lyr- ics, and dancing feet was the scene in the Midlo auditorium. Students gathered to listen to Robert Paquet and Hola sing songs in their native lan- guages. Sitting and listening is not where the students ended their participation. They par- took in repertory songs, and some even danced to the “‘in- sounding’”’ tunes. Robert Paquet is a popular French singer who visited the Richmond area two times dur- ing the year. A native Canadi- an, Robert's young and hand- some appearance thrilled the female audience. His two ac- companying band members added to the excitement of the performance. Although the French students particularly enjoyed this segment of the concert since they understood the lyrics, everyone, including teachers, gave rave reviews of the event. The second section of the concert was performed by Hola, a Spanish band. Its mem- bers consisted of high school students from their native land of Puerto Rico. This band also had the excitement and “good LEAD BASE PLAYER OF HOLA, MARCO, concentrates on his mu- sic while the Midlo auditorium rocks. HOLA, PERFORMING THE SEC- OND SECTOR OF THE CON- CERT, received many winks and smiles with their attractive out- fits and looks. s Cultural Concert looks.’ Another interesting fac- tor noticed by the audience was the female drummer. Each member had a unique attrac- tion. The main singer and com- poser of the group received laughs when he translated some of the song titles — two being ‘Moon in the Refrigera- tor” and “Vampire on the Air- plane Wing.”’ Even French teacher, Mrs. O'Dell, who headed-up the cultural con- cert, got into “the act” and served as mistress of ceremo- nies wearing a homemade con- cert t-shirt. Since music was so impor- tant to the students, it seemed quite appropriate that this brand of cultural entertain- ment be introduced to them. The Midlo audience respond- ed favorably as evidenced by their enthusiastic applause and a few spontaneous outbursts of dancing in the aisles. Even days later students still hummed the international tunes and spoke of the exciting day.

These were the student teach- ers. Five student teachers joined the teaching staff for the second semester at Midlothian in quest of valuable teaching experience. Four of the five students came from VCU. One of the four, Roger Mraz, who was ma- joring in theatre education, worked with Mrs. Baugher in the drama department. Aside from his classroom activities, Mr. Mraz was also a director and consultant in the play pro- duction “Blithe Spirit.” After graduating from VCU, Mr. School? teacher. Mr. Harry Hancock from VCU aided Mrs. Landes in the science department. Having already received a bachelor’s degree in graphic arts, Mr. Hancock was in the process of receiving a second degree in education. Miss Inge Schaar- man, also from VCU, taught in the science department with Mr. Overton. In the history department, Miss Sharon Shepard taught with Mrs. Cousins. Being a Phi Beta Kappa at the University of Richmond, she found the multi- faceted job of teaching slightly different from her role as a seri- ous student. Because the responsibilities were all-consuming, most of the student teachers were re- lieved when their time was fin- Mraz plans to move to the Northwest where he would like to teach.

Conquering the odds 3 Seniors Triumph The awarding of the NMSOT Scholarship goes to only a handful of students. The Schol- arship is based on PSAT Scores nationwide. After the scores had been calculated, Principal handled in one of two ways. The money from the Scholar- ship may go to a specific, merit scholarship college, or be awarded in a scholarship fund. Sounding like a sweepstakes Francis Poates had the honor of informing three Midlo seniors, Jon DeNunzio, Gretchen Van de Walle, and Newell Van Au- ken, that they were winners. Filling out certain forms and at- taining high SAT scores final- ized the qualifications of the scholarship. These scholarships may be winner, Jon DeNunzio ex- pressed the feelings of all the winners, ‘I was extremely sur- prised to find that I had won $2000. The odds were so great considering I was competing against thousands of people.” NMSQT FINALISTS: Newell Van Auken, Jon DeNunzio, and Gretchen Van de Walle.

Cane Go to the Head of the Senior Class This year’s top 20 seniors were a cut above the rest. In addition to their “way above average’ academic skills, they somehow found time for nu- merous extracurricular activi- ties. Jon DeNunzio, the number one senior, was the President ot the SCA as well as a dedi- cated Key Club and Polk County Club member. The number four rank, Carrie Mill- er played on the tennis team, and number nineteen, Bobby Morris, the soccer team. Jeff Sanborn the number five sen- 70 Seniors ior, was a member of a local band with a constantly chang- ing name. Between academics and atter school activities these seniors found themselves mak- ing numerous decisions as to where and how to spend their valuable time. A major decision had to be made this year by these 20 stu- dents. They had to choose among some of the top univer- sities in the nation, the one where they would further their educations. Jon DeNunzio, Jeff Sanborn, Buffy Blackburn, Maureen Feeney, and Bobby Morris have set their sights on “the’” University (of Virginia). Lynne Shutze and Lynn Cope are heading for William and Mary while number 7, Alice Yu, is changing coasts to attend Cal Berkley. These 20 people were not just a group of students, but a group of friends — friends who worked together, played to- gether, studied together, and created life-long friendships. ‘ a e i : Michelle J.

Quite a few of the 1986 sen- iors were ‘‘Dead.” No, they were not all buried under six feet of dirt. This phrase refers to the many seniors who were 'Gratetully Dedicated” to one of the most popular groups at Midlothian, the Grateful Dead. It was a familiar sight to see ior cars adorned with such bumper stickers as “Jerry's Kids,”’ referring to Dead band member, Jerry Garcia, and the ever-popular ‘‘Steal-Your- Face” stickers.

Townes Gellese Choices Propaganda 10-11. . Applications to the Future As spring rolled around, the acceptance to colleges was highly visible. Throughout the halls there were reactions of happiness or dejection as stu- dents shared their acceptances from college. Many things contributed to the choices of students. SAT scores, GPA, and class rank were the three major aspects in question when deciding to which schools students would apply. Representatives from schools around the state visited to encourage students to at- tend their schools. Colleges ranged from small private schools to larger uni- versities. In-state schools re- ceived the majority of applica- 80 Seniors tions from the students. Univer- sity of Virginia, Virginia Tech, James Madison, and Radford were the four most popular choices. The largest group of seniors were accepted to Va. Tech. Pam Charles, Kris Turfle, and Wayne Ellis were three of the large group selected. Brian Purcell, Dawn Niccolucci, and Maureen Feeney were accept- ed to UVA. Meredith Dona- hue, Julie Crawford, and Lee Overstreet decided to travel out of state to East Carolina. As the seniors decided which colleges to attend and acceptances were received, seniors were able to enjoy their final days as seniors. REPRESENTATIVE SGT.

It's Sweeping Midlothian The Polk County Club was originated because of the in- tense fevor created in a Mid- lothian U.S. Va. History Class. This marked the beginning of 11 students’ wild yearning for knowledge of the greatest — ‘Near Great’’ President the J.S. has ever known. Whether t was raising the industrial tar- uff or seizing Texas from a nas- y band of Mexicans, Polk was proficient to the end. + The inspired students orga- nized themselves into a fact- tinding quest about Polk. They 82 Seniors were obsessed with his hob- bies, idiosyncracies, pets, and his nationally acclaimed, uni- versally known FOUR POINTS. These facts were sur- passed only when the students discovered the innumerable land masses named after Mr. Polk, particulary counties. Thus, the students’ crave for Polk trivia was satisfied and the club disbanded 108 days after it was formed. Remarkably, this was the same number of days that James K. survived after leaving the presidency. Frank Lou Zierhl: “Chip”.

BRINGING BACK MEMORIE- S OF MIDDLE SCHOOL Chris Roberson and Karen Petrasy de- liver the Last Will and Testament to the senior class. 12 years and | practice lead to the Final Performance Even though the rowdiness of the banquet began Senior Week on a somewhat discor- dent note, seniors rallied to move through the other activi- ties with a degree of decorum and an abundance of satistac- tion. Since the banquet ended abruptly, seniors looked for- ward to the next activity, Skip Day. Armed with blankets and coolers, seniors flocked to Dan- ny McLean's uncle's farm in Powhatan. There _ they sprawled on the grass, listening to live music. The next event leading to graduation was Class Day. On Monday, June 2, senior girls wore their white dresses with daisy corsages while the guys were decked out in dress shirts, trousers, and ties. At school this mark of distinction in dress gave them a sense of being special. Seniors Graduation Later that night seniors re- turned to school — this time with their parents — for the awards presentations. Each de- partment awarded medals, plaques, or scholarships to out- standing seniors. Lynn Schutze, Jon DeNunzio, Jeff Sanborn, and Alice Yu cap- tured a large share of the rec- ognition. Then Karen Petrasy and Chris Roberson approached the microphone to read a doc- ument of much interest — the class history. As Karen and Chris brought back memories of the past, seniors laughed and joked at their antics. Other awards which created interest and anticipation were the superlative presentations.

Sunday, June 8, dark rain clouds threatened to ruin Bac- calaureate. Only minutes after the last senior filed into Bon Air Baptist Church for the proces- sional, the rain clouds gave way to a torrential downpour. Inside the church, Senior Scott Rinaldi welcomed the parents, relatives and seniors, followed by a meditation by Wendy Pember. She issued advice concerning moving to- wards goals. Dr. E. Benjamin Howerton IJ, State Assistant Superintendent of Schools, delivered the Bac- calaureate address, stressing numerous points concerning expectations for the future. Two days later seniors con- vened on the football field for a hot, two-hour practice for graduation. Many wished that give them what they had long- awaited, the diploma.

Their first task was selecting a place which was suitable for the prom’s theme, ‘An Even- ing In Elegance.” The officers selected the John Marshal Ho- tel ballroom, which led to a very costly affair. For the second task, the offi- cers, with the help of the junior class representatives, collected the necessary amount of mon- ey needed for a successtul prom. This amount, $3,000, was the highest amount ever collected by a junior class. Be- cause of the overwhelming size of the class, the class dues could supply the foundation for Craig Anderson Alyce Anthony Cliff Armstead Robert Ashby Pam Athens Walter Bailey B.B.

The extra money needed was raised through candy sales. Treasurer Kelly Dean commented that, “han- dling the money may have been a drag then, but we knew it paid off for on the night of May 24 we had a “first class prom.’ Their third task was selecting a band suitable for a “‘first class’’ prom. Appropriately enough, the band called them- selves First Class. The band and the atmosphere of the John Marshal combined to make an elegant event.

According to Francis- co, being a foreign exchange student has been one of the most rewarding exper- iences of his life. This was his fourth east coast visit to the United States, having trav- elled in North Carolina and New York state previously. Here in Midlothian he lived with sopho- more Chris Finn's family. A highlight of the winter season was a ski trip to Wintergreen with David Falls, John Owens, and Brian Bowe. Trying to master the slopes was somewhat difficult for Francisco since this was the first time he had skied. Although his native Spanish hometown of Vigo has a similar climate, Francisco said that it never snowed there. Francisco quickly acclamated himself to Midlo life. He enjoyed the blonde, blue- eyed girls and the weekend parties. An honor student, he took AP classes in hopes of returning to the U.S. for college at M.1.T. HERE FRANCISCO DISPLAYS his typical friendly smile. While at Midlo he impressed everyone with his carefree personality.

If not, then you were one of the few people who did not recog- nize the ‘‘ever-so-distin- guished’’ Monty Jones. He was best known for his abilities as a drummer. In 1985, he was a member of the Trojan March- ing band and also part of a popular band in the area named Classical Art Society, or just CAS. Monty has been playing the drums for over eight years and has become a devoted musi- cian. He put in many hard hours of practice at home and school, but he directed most of his efforts towards his band, CAS. He said that they were beginning to create their own material and, in addition to playing at weekend parties, had future plans of playing downtown. Music has not always had a stronghold on Monty’s lifestyle. PLAYING THE DRUMS AT THE TALENT SHOW IN NOVEMBER, Monty performed a solo with his band Classical Art Society, or CAS. Monty Jones “What A Guy” Richard Martin Russell Martin Scott Martin Chris Maslyk Chad Mason Cheryl Mason Wellons Mast Mark Mathews Russell McCallum Quintin McClellan Dave McCormack Bri an McCoy ennifer McCuen Dave McDaniel Andy McDermott Denise McGlynn Kitty McKee Patrick McNamee Christyne Meincke Holly Melhorn Laura Meredith He tried to avoid the trends which arose with different types of music. ‘To a lot of peo- ple, the music scene is a lifes- tyle, but for the musicians, they're just doing what they want to be doing. It's the peo- ple who follow along. I don't get into that stuff.” He was constantly broaden- ing his musical spectrum by lis- tening to a wide variety of groups. He enjoyed everything from Rush, to a local band called Awareness Art Ensem- ble, to the Beasty Boys. Reluctantly enough, he ad- mitted that he spent some of his spare time skateboarding but preferred not to advertise that fact because he did not like the people who skated. He could not appreciate the people who carried a board in their hands, but could not skate. It was obvi- ous that in all aspects of his life, Monty did what he did, not for the appearance, but strictly for the pleasure. That's the kind of guy Monty was. Juniors 95 Ross Prevatt “Mr. Excitement” ‘Mr. Excitement’ wore jer- sey number | on the football team, ‘‘Risky Business” glasses in the pep rallys, and got the whole school fired up with his enthusiastic speeches. Ross Prevatt was called ‘Mr. Excite- ment’ by his football team- mates and by many people that knew him and his bubbly char- acter. Ross moved to Midlothian at the end of his sophomore year from Blacksburg. The transi- tion was difficult because he missed his friends, his school, and his Blacksburg way of life. He said that everyone was en- thusiastic in Blacksburg, which was the main difference that he noticed in Midlothian. Ross’ Blacksburg football coach en- couraged enthusiasm and ex- citement before games, hoping that it would help the team get fired up. Ross thought it did, considering that they went to the state football playoffs last year. When asked what made him so exciting, Ross replied, “It's my heritage, my Southern tra- dition.”’ He felt his exciting and enthusiastic character got the football team started and that playing with emotion helps any team. ‘'l like to carry my excite- ment on and off the field,”’ said Ross, who did a good job carry- ing his exciting personality anywhere. Ross attirmly believed that ‘Teams with emotion can play better than what is physically possible. We have a goal to be one. The men in the jerseys, the women in the skirts, and the people in the stands should unite with enthusiasm and ex- citement. That's why I try my best to be plum wild!”’ WITH HIS FAMOUS GLASSES IN TACT, Ross Prevatt knows how to spread enthusiasm and excite- ment, even in the classroom.

Yes, they had survived the freshman year and the freshman stigma, but now they were endowed sophomore sta- tus-only a fraction better than being a freshman. Most sophomores ap- proached their schedule with a fair amount of happy anticipa- tion because not only was it the last time to take physical edu- cation, but if they passed the driver's education portion of that course, they would be able to get their driver’s permit.

That was Tricia Abshire. Tricia gained a start- ing position as a guard on the Lady Trojans varsity basketball team by exhibiting exceptional talent in the tryouts. Being the youngest team member, Tricia had reservations about going into the season as the youngest player. She said, ‘I was scared at first, but the older girls were so nice and treated me like | was their age.’’ An all around athlete, Tricia indulged in oth- er sports like tennis, swimming, and running. However, basket- ball remained her favorite. Concerning her ambitions to- wards a future in basketball, Tricia replied modestly, “I'd like to play (basketball) in col- lege, that is, if I can make the team.” Mr. Garrett, the Lady Tro- Tricia Abshire Sophomore Sensation jans’ coach considered Tricia a very big asset to the girls’ team. At first he was a little unsure of how Tricia would handle her- self, being the youngest mem- ber of the team. Because of Tri- cia’s excellent outside shoot- ing, which is the weakness of most girls, he had no doubts about putting Tricia on the var- sity team.

Tricia was the sec- ond leading scorer on the team with an average of twelve points per game and sixteen points in her highest scoring game against Varina.

Being a sophomore, the butt of our jokes, Learning about drinking more than just cokes. Counting the days til weekends and vacations, Who really cares about Men of Our Nations. Dealing in English but failing geometry, Not good enough for the Honor Society. Eating school food like ho-ho’s and apple pies, Pizza every day and ketchup with fries. Friday arrives, where are the parties? Making plans in the halls — demerits for tardies. Gossiping endlessly, who’s dating who? Who was driving that car? It was new! Having gym for the last nine weeks, Getting out of that class with the jocks and the geeks. Immaturity is disappearing, or so every- one is saying, No more hide and seek or going outside and playing. Juniors we'll be next year — can’t wait, We'll be more likely to get a date. 108 Sophomores Kinky hair, cropped pants, short socks, and flats, Tight sweater dresses, hair mousse, and hats. Licenses on the way, guys are excited, Behind the wheel instructors are fright- ened. Making decisions, who will drive us out tonight? This bumming for rides is getting quite trite. Notebook paper, spirals, calculators, clipboards Pocket folders, white-out, erasers, and chalkboards. Opening lockers decorated with pictures and memories of the past, Shoving in your books and scurrying to your next class. Picking out colors and designs for class rings, Choosing next year’s subjects, electives and things. Questions left unanswered, so much we'd like to know, Learning more each day: we have so much room to grow. Radical, awesome, cool, stud, geek, Yuppie, scumbag, weirdo, or freak. Sweet sixteen is slowly approaching, You've finally made it, through all of the coaching. Two years of school, two more to go, It seems like the years move so slow. Understanding algebra, but what are dependent clauses? Timed writings in typing class, no time for mental pauses. Verbs and formuals, standing broad jumps, and genes, Projects and term papers and dissecting beans. Women and men — We think we are, But we're not, not yet, not by far. X-ams and tests, quizzes — announced and pop, All of us wonder if it’s ever going to stop. Yaking on the telephone for hours at a time, Getting busy signals. Please get another line! Zooming through semesters our sopho- more year is coming to a close, What we'll do as juniors — Heaven only knows!

As is the custom, the class of ‘89 was the usual target of criticism and ridicule. This feel- ing became all to obvious at the second pep rally of the year when pandemonium broke out with seniors shouting deroga- tory statements across the gym floor at the freshmen. In retali- ation, the freshmen returned the ‘‘compliments.”’ A shouting match occurred which became abusive and loud. Finally, Mr. Poates halted the disorder with threats of having no more pep rallies.

Reagan came to Virginia to help campaign for Wyatt. Another exciting moment occurred when her baby brother Zachery, was born. Zach became a member of the Durrette family mid-way through the campaign. Dea's worst experience was election night in the Marriot Hotel as the results were tallied. Her father trailed by 10% throughout the night and final- ly conceded to his opponent. Although the campaign did not turn out as she wished, Dea is still glad she had a change of pace for a year and hopes to do it again someday — maybe it will be for her own campaign. 113 Freshmen Curtis and Cub A Stroke Above The Rest Traveling across the nation, her age group at twelve years winning awards, and obtaining old. high ranking sounds unobtain- They worked hard and also able for freshmen, but not for kept themselves in top mental John Curtis and Shannon Cu- and physical shape.

The class of ‘89 solved this problem by making Stuffy's their hangout. This res- taurant was easily reached by the freshmen who walked and rode their bikes from the many nearby subdivisions. Stuffy’s provides a sociable environment offering food, music and video games to the many cliques and groups. One freshman commented that Stuffy’s was not the best place, but in another year with a li- cense they would move up to bigger and better things.

New teachers also struggled to “find their way.” It was no easi- er for the teachers to adjust to the atmosphere of a new school than for incoming freshmen. However, it was true that the teachers did not get directions to elevators or swimming pools. One of the problems new teachers did face was adjust- ment. For first year teachers, it was hard to assume the role of the adult figure to their stu- dents. Graduating from col- lege and stepping into a high school classroom with students only 6 years younger, was diffi- cult for some. Gaining respect and making friends were im- portant, but young teachers quickly found that it was really impossible to do both at the same time.

Faculty members also faced new teach- ers. One new teacher, Mrs. Jan Healy, found that acclimating herself was not very difficult. This was because she had al- ready spent time at Midlothian as a student teacher. For oth- ers, this process was more diffi- cult. As first year chemistry teacher, Miss Lane, put it, “I felt like an outsider until the end of the third nine weeks.” Even though there were dif- ficulties for new teachers who were on hand for the opening day of school, the teachers who came after school found an even more difficult situation. Mrs. Kathy Barrett arrived in late September to find ninth grade students who had had a month's work under another teacher. Her greatest difficulty, she said, was to ascertain exact- ly where the students were at that point. When the end of the year came, these new teachers were ones who looked most forward to summer.

(Toward Educational Excellence) was the name of a Counselor. new county-wide program for teachers intended to upgrade instruction in the classroom. The program was brought about because of recent re- search in educational practices investigating better teaching methods. At Midlothian High School three teachers were trained in the summer to learn about the program so that they could teach the rest of the faculty about T.E.E. The trainers were Miss Gregory, Mrs. Robertson, and Mrs. O'Dell. The program brought new teaching ideas to the staff. A feedback system was put into use to inform each other about new methods which had been found to be William Wood — (not pictured) Technical Drawing, Architectural and Engineering Drafting.

Teachers changed their design for lesson plans and encour- aged student participation in class. The tedium of the day-long training sessions were alleviat- ed by snack breaks and lun- cheon buffets. According to English teacher Mrs. Tucker, The little touches the trainers added made the instruction more palatable.” The long-range effects of the project was a subject of specu- lation, but for the year, at least, the teachers examined their present methods and tried out a variety of other techniques.

To Face Adversity nder the watch- ful eye of Coach John lanucci both varsity and JV football teams exhibited a never-say- die attitude and sheer hard work to propel them to their best record since 1977. The program, began in 1983 when Coach Ianucci came to Mid- lothian from Iona Prep in New York state, finally reached a level of excellence. The right combination of commitment and discipline enabled them to attain a 7-3 record against for- midable opponents. As Chris Weinhold put it, “We were a very close-knit team which helped through the ‘ups and downs.’ ”’ The season's most memora- ble game was the Powahatan game. It provided everything the team experienced the en- tire year. From being down 14 points early in the first quarter to catching up to 7 points at halftime, the team still kept up its morale. Coming out slowly at halftime, and fighting back as a team, they pulled out a vic- tory on a last-second field goal by Lin Anderson. The efforts in this game typified the spirit that kept them in contention for the district title.

Ross Prevatt, team spirit leader, summed up the feelings most players felt — ‘‘We finally had our hand in the cookie jar!” The same feeling of team unity was even more evident with the Midlothian JV football team. Chris Killorn provided the offensive punch for the team while Dave Jones and Scott Roberson held the inex- perienced defense by shutting out some of their opponents. The team was at an obvious handicap at the beginning of the season, having only one coach. Even with this disadvan- tage, the team was able to finish with a satisfying 4-4 record.

That’s how Midlo fans de- scribed the 1985 varsity girls’ bas- ketball team which proved to be one of the best in the school's history. This distinctive team used unity to conquer the Dominion District with a 16-0 record. This unity also enabled them to reach the regional se- mifinals, only the second time the Lady Trojans had done this. The team, led by senior co- captains Kristin Root and Tracy Hale, was a team of exper- ienced and skilled girls. Kristin was the third leading vote-get- ter on the All-District first team, and was named to the All-Re- gional second team. Along with Susan Comer and Alison . Walek, she was named the Ga- zette’s ‘Athlete of the Week.” The rest of the starting five con- sisted of Tracy Hale, Susan Basketball orts Girls Lady Trojans UNITE as 1! F Comer, and Alison Walek, who contributed to the height of the team; and sophomore standout Tricia Abshire, who added to the speed on the court. Seniors Kris Trutle, Stacey Wirt, and ju- niors Katrina Cunningham and Christy Wiley saw a lot of play- ing time and were big factors during the regular season by giving Midlothian such a strong bench. The starting five and the bench worked well together. Everyone was so unified. We were a team both on and off the court,’ remarked Tracy Hale. We had to struggle a little, but we usually made it through.” Perhaps the biggest struggle of the season was their timing. Their concentration level would not usually peak until the second halt. The team knew when they had to sustain a total effort in order to win. aye CHEERING THEIR SENIOR TEAMMATES ON, Lisa Siptroth, Kris Turfle, and Tricia Abshire wait their turn to give a yellow rose and a congratulatory hug to the graduating members of the team.

Sports Girls’ Basketball 137 Lady Trojans UNITE as 1 (continued) The girls did this in the regular season game against Colonial Heights. In the most exciting game of the season, Midlothian came out on top by one point, 62-61. This was also a year of many “firsts’’ for the Lady Trojans. This year the girls had an unde- feated district record, which was a first for any varsity girls’ basketball team. The team also defeated Manchester in all of the three times that they played. Defeating Manchester was a type of revenge for the girls because Manchester had ended the team's hopes of win- ning a third straight district championship the previous year. The Lady Trojans ended their spectacular season with an overall record of 21-3. Their season came to an end when they suffered a crushing loss to Franklin, 52-51. A win would have put them in the regional finals and possibly the state playotts. The JV girls’ basketball team shared a winning season along with the varsity. They attained an undefeated district record of 14-0 and an overall record of 15-2. The JV team repeated their undefeated district record and won the championship game, just as they had done the previous season. Coach Denise Manuel attributed the team’s success to the girls overall uni- ty. She said, “The uniqueness of the team was that no one per- son stood out above the others. The starters were strong and they had a strong bench to back them up.” The high points of their sea- son come when they defeated second place Thomas Dale twice, winning both by small margins. Mrs. Manuel did not expect a strong season from the girls because she had lost some key players to the varsity. She was surprised that the team worked together well and that their struggle to attain such a dynamic record was not a diffi- eult one.

They demonstrat- ed this team spirit and desire to win all the way to the last game, surprising other district teams with their determination. As Kitty McKee said, ‘The other teams didn't think we would be as good as last year because we had lost a lot of key players. We compensated for this, pulled together, and proved them wrong.” As last year, Manchester proved to be Midlothian’s toughest opponent. At the opening of the regular season, Manchester defeated Midloth- ian by 3 to 2 in a disappointing upset. However, the Trojans avenged the Lancers by over- coming them in an emotional triumph. The district game en- abled the girls to proceed on to regional competition. At regionals, North Hampton traveled to Midlothian, where the Trojans won in a tight over- time situation, 2-1. In the next regional match-up, they played Glouchester, their old: nemesis from years pas t and fell O-1 in a valiant fight. Within the solid foundation of teamwork and team spirit, in- dividuals emerged as district and regional award recipients.

Winning Seasons! Ithough Midloth- ian’s gymnastics and golf teams primarily de- pended upon their individual talents, the ele- ment of team spirit was an inte- gral part of their performances. Both teams finished with win- ning seasons, due to the fact that the members of both teams combined their individual etf- forts. This team spirit pulled out the unique talents of each team member. The gymnastics team under- went a dramatic change trom their losing 3-5 records of the past two years. The girls’ dis- trict record was 8-0, and they still remained undefeated, with a 16-0 record after they won first place in the district tourna- ment. The team was dominated by freshmen and sophomores, with only three of the fourteen girls being juniors. Six Trojan gymnasts went to the district and regional meets. Cheryl Woodyard, who received the Most Valuable Gymnast award, competed in the all- around competition, along with freshman Cookie Leyo. The team ended their season at the regional tournament held at York High School, where they placed third. Junior captain Lora Yowell comment- ed that the team got as far as the regionals because the girls en- couraged each other to do well and to try their best at all times. Midlothian’s golf team was also successtul, with a winning record of 8-4. Led by senior captain Rich Jaeger, the team found the district competition tough. All of the matches that were lost, were lost by only a couple of strokes. Two Midlo golfers made it to the state tournament. Richie Jaeger, who rec eived the MVP award, placed third in the re- gionals and sixth in the state. This was the fourth year in a row that Richie had been to the - state tournament. John Ohly placed fourth in the regional tournament and fifteenth in the state, quite a feat for a fresh- man! The team supported each other in all that they did. ‘Whenever someone needed a little extra help with their swing or their footing, every- one was always willing to help,” commented junior Rob- bie Wallace. All ten team mem- bers helped each other through their combined team spirit and enthusiasm, much of that coming trom sophomore Linda Hall, the only girl on the team.

Then, the luckiest breaks came in the 3 Meadowbrook games. The first one at Meadowbrook was won in the final minutes of the game, and when Meadow- brook played at Midlo, the Tro- jans won again by two points. Later, Midlo blew out Meadow- brook in a district tournament game by scoring 99 points.

Still Keeps Growing aking a step in the right direction, the 1985-86 Midlothian wrestling team had their most successful team in four years. With more people coming out for the team, Coach Dick Over- ton had no trouble filling up the weight classes. In the past, the team usually consisted of under 20 people with most wrestling on the varsity level. As aresult of having more peo- ple on the team, practice ses- sions became easier. The team was aided by the leadership of Kenny Robinson. Kenny started wrestling his freshman year. When he came out, the team had 17 wrestlers, and it was the last team to have a winning record. This year, the team had over 40 people, and they finished the year with a 8-6 record. Kenny used his experience to help some of the younger wrestlers. He symbol- izes the team because he ex- emplifies the type of athlete which was present on the Mid- lothian wrestling team. This team worked for everything they achieved, and the recog- nition they received from awards and crowd support was well deserved. The JV wrestling team was also a part of the varsity team. According to team rules, a member could challenge a var- sity wrestler, and if he won could take the varsity wrestler’s spot. This gave the extra incen- tive for the wrestlers to learn all their wrestling skills. This forced the varsity wrestlers to practice harder or else they could lose their spot. A perfect example came as Chris Meyer, a second year wrestler, came up from the ranks of the JV to finish fifth in the district match and earn a chance to wrestle in the regionals. As a team the JV’s finished with a 9-4-1] record with the tie coming against Colonial Heights. Coach Overton had some help with both teams with coach Dennis Moody giving his time. The extra coaching help give the JV wrestlers a chance to receive more time on the technique work which is so vital in wrestling. Since the team wrestles against those in the same weight class, the tech. nique is the difference be- tween a mediocre wrestler and an excellent one. Both teams had winning re: cords, which is a definite change from the past. This year showed many more people on the team being competitive, Eleven people placed in the district which qualified them for regionals. Kenny Robinson, Mark Wysong, William Stacy, and Grant Kim all advanced te the regionals and eventually tc the state tournament at James Madison. Both teams showed marked improvement, and as Brian McCormack said, “'It fell good to win.” � KENNY ROBINSON ATTEMPTS TO PLACE A HOLD ON HIS OP- PONENT.

Coach Moody and many par- ents and players worked long, hard hours during the summer and throughout the school year to get the field in shape. The new infield was ‘“‘better than the Diamond's,”’ stated Coach Moody, and the outfield “had a few holes, but it was a good playing field,” said lett fielder John Owens.

Baseball Sporis 153 A Tough Act to Follow (continued) hoped to receive another one, but his dreams and the team’s dreams were shattered by dis- trict- rivals Mills E. Godwin and Clover Hill. Godwin came out on top by winning the regular season, and Midlothian was defeated by Clover Hill in a heart- breaking 3-1 loss in the first round of the district tourna- ment. This loss ended their dreams of qualifying for re- gional and state play. Some high points of the sea- son were the many all-district honors that the team received. Tony Moore and Chip Boone received first team honors, while second team went to Mark Chambers and Lee Cole- man, and honorable mention went to John Owens, Lee Cole- man, David Massie, and Brent King. Tony Moore was also se- lected to play for the East-All Star team in the VHSL All-Star game in Lynchburg. Other high points included beating Meadowbrook 14-5 in the opening game (Midloth- ian’s only losses the previous season had been to Meadow- brook); and in their final district game, they defeated Godwin 2-1. The JV team had a winning season, with an overall 9-5-1 record. George Kerr, Garrick Shannon, and John O'Donnell led the team throughout the season. The JV team was a steady team, in that they had a hard time fielding, but they could hit the ball well. A high point of their season was beat- ing Varina 7-3. Like the varsity, the JVs finished the year in sec- ond place to Godwin, another successt{ul season for (contin- ued on page 154) Coach McChesney, a four year veter- an coach. Coach Moody remarked how proud he was of the whole baseball program at Midloth- ian. ‘We're tough on the boys when they start out on the JV team so they will be exper- ienced when they get to the varsity. That's why we have such a good program. I’m proud of the teams as a whole and as individuals.” 154 Sports Baseball CONCENTRATING ON WHAT HIS NEXT SIGNAL WILL BE, JV Coach McChesney ponders over the previous play. { re LEAPING HIGH INTO THE AIR, BEGINNING HIS PITCH, sopho- this Meadowbrook second base- more George Kerr prepares to man throw to his shortstop in throw another hopeful strike. hopes of getting Midlothian’s Ke- vin O’Donnell out; he was safe!

The boys’ track team worked all season To Go the Distance For returning lettermen, the goal was obvious. The previous record had been 4-6, and they were determined to improve gave their whole effort in their individual capacities, but they also infused a spirit of winning in the team that helped to cre- the record. Newcomers to the team were encouraged to take up the challenge. Teamwork, combined with individual ef- fort, accomplished the goal when the boys’ track team cre- ated a dramatic reversal, end- ing the season with a respect- able 6-4. Led by seniors Roni Johnson, Brian Shay, and Chris Burford, the team had an edge on the competition; they had determi- nation. These three not only ate the reversal. In the field events Lin An- derson and Brandon Bonser added some strategic points in such events as the discus and shot put. Chris Burford and Clift Armistead were standouts in the triple and long jump events. On the track, points were gained by the efforts of Chris Burford, Chris Killorn, and Bri- an Shay. Hurdlers Roni John- son, Mike Couch, and David Lamm added to the scoring depth. Versatile athlete Chris Burford set a record in the 300 hurdles. In distance races, Tim Cheatham and Danny Sawyers were the leading point-getters. Even though the team showed remarkable improve- ment, expectations for future success were on the minds of the returning members of the team and particularly foremost in the thoughts of head coach Dick Overton. His comment, ‘I'm happy, but I plan to be happier!’’ indicated the spirit that led this team to a satisfying conclusion.

The word boredom was the unspoken adjective to describe the girls’ emotions. Winning had become a routine. However, the state tourna- ment became another matter. The girls’ excitement height- ened when they arrived in Radford for the tournament. The first match against Brook- ville was easily won 8-1. The tension built on the second day as the girls barely pulled out the championship match 5-4 against last year’s state champi- ons, Radford High School.

The boys had a chance at beating Godwin, but injury and sickness plagued the match. The night before the match John Hudson pulled a muscle in his back and John Dinardi, a strong sixth position on the team, was ill. Although the team lost the big match, 3- 6, it was a closer score than in the past against Godwin.

Clubs Divider 167 Beginning as a freshman in e concert band, orchestra, or mixed chorus and ending as a senior in the marching, sym- phonic, and or stage bands, orchestra, or show choir, many students’ school lives seemed to be filled with high and low notes, sharps, flats, majors, and minors. Promising young musicians began their careers playin g seasonal concerts and band festivals in the concert band. With hours of practice and their freshman year behind them, musical talents ad- vanced to the marching or symphonic band. This talented group of stu- dents was the backbone of the football games. Together with the auxiliary squads, the Marching band donned their newly purchased blue and gold uniforms and performed a � ) ASS Bisancs Gea ... of the Music Department much rehearsed band show during halftime of home games. As the year progressed, stu- dents furthered their musical knowledge by participating in a number of competitions. The Midlothian Marching Band re- ceived excellent ratings in Charlottesville and North Carolina at the VBODA Festi- val and the Cary Band Day re- spectively. In addition they took a second place in the Thomas Dale Invitational and all first places in the North Staf- ford Invitational. With all of this fun and ex- perience behind them, the marching band under the title of the symphonic band readied themselves for the annual spring concert. The last “straw” for the performance as well as the year came in the concert’s theme, a take off of the banjo- pickin’ and knee sla- pin’ of Roy Clark and the Bang from the ever-popular Hee Haw. The band was not the only group of talented musicians at Midlothian. The music of the wooden instruments also per- vaded the high school years of a select group of students, the orchestra. The orchestra com- peted in the Dixie Classic Or- chestra Competition at God- win where they placed second and received $100. They dis- played their abilities once again this year by receiving a rating of I (or excellent) at the Orchestra Festival. They per- formed for their classmates in the Christmas and spring con- certs and made an impression on all who attended the show- ings of The Wiz. Graduating senior Kim Lindsey, a four year orchestra student, said this of her orchestral instruction, ‘My experience in orchestra through the years has played a major part in my high school life. The close friendships which | have gained and the education which | have re- ceived are priceless. I'll defi- nitely miss the class!” The newly organized show choir has quickly grown to be a major part of the lives of stu- dents. This past year they trav- eled to JMU, Blue Ridge, and E. C. Glass where they re- ceived superior ratings. The Just for Show” choir left a sea- sonally spirited impression on students with their perfor- mance in the Christmas con- cert. Chorus was the begin- ning of the future for many stu- dents who depended on their voices to carry them to success. A CONELD..

Devoted ‘We worked twice as hard, but accomplished half as much.” This was the thought expressed by the cheerleaders concerning the work and effort they exerted in the name of school spirit. If the student body had matched the enthusi- asm and spirit of the cheer- leaders, their voices would have been heard all the way to Monacan. Beginning with practices in the spring and continuing through the basketball tourna- ment, the cheerleaders spent time, energy, and heart elicit- ing support from the fans. Dur- ing the summer the girls prac- ticed twice a week in prepara- tion for cheering camp at the Univeristy of Virginia. All of their hard work and dedication paid off as they won first place in the ‘‘High Performance” category. During the first pep rally they were ready to show some spirit and they did just that, raising the pitch of excitement and spirit to a new level.

The second pep rally proved to be a different story. The cheerleaders had the pep, but the students had other ideas. Disappointing the cheer- leaders, the poor behavior of the students resulted in a ban of further rallies. Spirits undaunted, the cheerleaders turned their etf- forts in other directions. For the first time they became actively involved in the wrestling pro- gram. Not only did they cheer at matches, but they also worked at the district tourna- ment as runners. Also the foot- ball program ads the cheer- leaders sold, they purchased ‘skirts for the girls’ tennis team and donated $300 for Softball team uniforms.

The tlag team made sure they had an early start for prac- ticing their van guards, back- scratchers, and flag tosses. This prepared the girls for their competition in Carey, North Carolina, and the County Fair Parade. The flags, along with the marching band and all of its performers displayed their tal- ent at all football half-time shows.

With the end of the football season, the drill team soon be- gan their intense practices to prepare for their winter drill team competitions. First was the Smithfield Competition, where they placed first in regu- lation drill and second in their trick drill. Continuing their travels, they competed in the Villanova University Drill Meet in Pennsylvania. Here they were subject to tougher com- petition which consisted of mostly males. This seemed to be a major disappointment. According to Mr. Hale, ‘It was unfortunate about the outcome since the team did not win as much as they are accustomed.’ To finish off the season, the girls performed their silent drill at the home basketball game Midlothian vs. Varinia.

Creative writing anyone? With a newspaper, literary magazine, and a yearbook, there was something for any- one. These publications were vital as they not only offered those students an opportunity to use and develop their writ- ing talents, but they also pro- vided a service for students who wanted to read, enjoy, and remember. In their five issues, the staff of _ the Trojan Review, the news- paper sponsored by Miss Patri- cia Adams, used more graph- ics, more creativity, and more student-involved stories to catch the interest of the student body. Jennifer Little, assistant editor of the Review, stated that ‘We had more people in the club then ever before, therefore giving us more imagination to come up with a better paper than we have had in the past.’’ In addition to sell- ing newspapers, they sold Val- entine personals. These helped in selling and promoting the paper. The quality of the paper and the hard work otf the staff became increasingly evident with each issue of the publica- tion. The newspaper was not the only club to expand its hori- zons. The literary magazine, sponsored by Miss Jeanne Hil- debrand, grew in numbers, also. In the past the class has only been one class period of 20 students. However, this year due to the popular demand of a creative writing class, the liter- ary magazine went into two classes of about 20 each. Most of the students contrib- uted works to the magazine, which consisted of poems, short stories, and other types of writings of the creative writing classes. As spring approached and the deadline for the maga- zine grew near, this creative group of writers worked furi- ously to sort out the best works from the students for publica- tion. Though the year started with enthusiasm, most of the staff members were shocked at the amount of work it took to be on the yearbook staff. With the help of the Mrs. Phyllis Miles, sponsor of the yearbook, and AT A TYPICAL GENERAL MEETING Mrs. Miles explains to the yearbook staff how to produce an appealing yearbook. the two editors, Karen Petrasy and Wendy Pember, adjust- ments were made, the work in- tensified. All of the staff's time and energy was spent frantical- ly drawing layouts, writing copies, and inventing catchy captions. At the same time, the staff had to capture all the ex- citement and memories of the year. Informing the student body of the years happenings, the three literary groups also gained from their experiences. ‘“Scooping” out the news, de- termining the literary value in student work and meeting deadlines taught these literary novices what it means to be a journalist. Yearbook, Newspaper, Literary Guild Clubs 177 Getting the Job Done Making their campaign promises realities, the Student Council Association officers began work early — even be- fore the traditional orientation program in August. Their earli- est accomplishment came when Mr. Poates approved their plan of allowing music in the enclosed cafeteria during lunch. The installation of the officers was highlighted by Larry El- liott, Director of Secondary In- struction for Chesterfield County Schools. In his speech he gave an inspiring talk about the growth and future of the community. He also spoke about the importance of lead- ership and the potential of stu- dents in assuming positions of leadership. As homecoming ap- proached, the SCA became immersed in the overwhelming task of organizing and sponsor- ing the events of the week. Jeff Sanborn, vice-president, was in charge of the parade activi- ties; and Chris Roberson, sec- STANDING PATIENTLY, S ficers, John DeNunzio, Jeff S born, Carrie Miller, Julie Hi and Chris Roberson, wait to stalled. 178 Clubs SCA retary, headed the dance ac- tivities. Other officers had their share of responsibilities. For in- stance, there was the responsi- bility of selling tickets and de- ciding upon the theme of the dance. Julie Hulett, treasurer, John DeNunzio, president, and Carrie Miller, chaplain, were responsible for promoting sales and advertising the dance. Though the officers carried the bulk of the responsibility, there was a small nucleus of workers who did dedicate thereselves to helping out with homecom- ing activities. Cammie Sey- mour, for instance, helped Chris in the decorations for the dance. Chris described Cam- mie as his ‘‘assistant coordina- tor.’ In addition to the homecom- ing events, the SCA planned two successful trips to the Diag- nostic Center. They visited once before Christmas and -once before spring break as a follow-up visit. At these visits the SCA provided refresh- ments and games for the cen- ter. While there, they played games like rummy, ping-pong, foos ball, and uno. A sense of understanding was created at these two encounters. Finally, the last tasks that the officers and the co-sponsors, Mrs. Marjory Willis and Mrs. Joan Cousins, undertook was the rewriting of the constitution of the SCA. They not only changed the name to Student Cooperative Association, but they also changed the execu- tive board from one vice-presi- dent to two. In addition, the of- fice of secretary and treasurer was combined into one office instead of two. In the April 16 assembly where the candidates for the 1986-1987 SCA presented themselves to the student body, the overwhelming idea which came through in all of the speeches was the necessity for a student-governing body. The SCA will not only lead the student body, but also serve the community. SPEAKING TO HIS FELLOW CLASSMATES, John DeNunzio, displaying optimistic goals, sights his plans for the new year. INSPIRING THE STUDENTS, Larry Elliott, Director of Secon- dary Instruction, talks about the future of our growing communi- ty.

Rh. $ = Site, Se, © Winey O Hera ws, Beran, WHAT A NERD! Mr. Terrell hob- bles in late for an Art Guild meet- ing. a 88 a More Than Meets the Eye An art club? Who would ever think of such an idea — unless that crazy art teacher who runs around every other day with a crazy outfit on spon- sored it! Yes, Mr. Buddy Ter- rell, with the help of Mrs. Bar- bara Rothenberg created a new club, called the Art Guild. As Mr. Terrell said, ‘The idea was to form an organization that promoted aesthetics throughout the school.”’ In ad- dition to just learning about art and drawing, the club’s main goals were to make art a more noticable subject in our school. The club not only created art, but they also helped in dis- playing the art at various shows. For instance, they helped display students’ art works at Johnston Willis Hospi- tal, the Fine Arts Festival, and in the library. In addition to helping the members of the art classes in displaying their art, they also decorated for the Christmas concert and then used the snow flakes as winter decora- tions around the school. Also, a special exhibit tor the seniors was sponsored by the club. Asagroup, the club traveled outside the limits of school grounds to the Anderson Gal- lery at Virginia Common- wealth University. There they were taken on a special tour of the gallery to see the art facili- ties at VCU and the works of students majoring in art fields. Visiting Best Products, they saw contemporary art and art displays at the Virginia Muse- um. As a first year club, the orga- nization ‘helped people see art and then present it at the school,’ Mr. Terrell replied with self-satisfaction in his and Mrs. Rothenberg’s creation. Art Guild Clubs 18] Q9 OL LOOKING INTENSELY AT THEIR COMPUTER SCREENS, Mark Campbell and Rob Wade work on the financial program for the yearbook. Inputs and Outputs The Apple Core, which stands for A Computer Orient- ed Research Enterprise, does exactly what their name im- plies. They make signs, ban- ners, pictures, graphics, and programs tor anyone who needs them. During the foot- ball season they ran a program for Coach John Iannucci which kept all of the statistics. Later in the year, the group devised a financial program for the year- book staff which greatly aided the record-keeping operations of the publication. On an individual basis, the Clubs Computer Club, Apple Core Apple Core typed many stu- dents’ term papers for the cost of one dollar a page. If any problems arose that needed as- sistance from computers, the Apple Core was sure to solve it. The Computer Club, on the other hand, had as its purpose, the simple enjoyment of meet- ing to share programs and work on computers among its members. Taking their enjoy- ment of computers a step fur- ther, they competed in a con- test at Longwood College where they came in third place.

Both clubs were active throughout the school year promoting cultural evenis. One event, the international cafe, became a massive project involving students, teachers, and administrators. Foods from foreign countries such as Ger- many, France, Italy, and Spain were featured at the culinary event. An estimated 600 diners participated, and the profits were used to support the trav- eling homestay students. The MILC club consisted of the students who took French, German, or Spanish. The spon- sors, along with the officers, or- ganized functions which gave SETTING UP THE ITALIAN CAFE, Doug Zerkel helps to im- prove the atmosphere by setting up plants. POSING FOR A PICTURE, the Latin Club students enjoy every free minute they have at conven- tion. Clubs Latin, MILC their members a taste of their language. Some of the mem- bers attended dinner dates with their classmates in such restaurants as Eric's, serving a variety of French and Italian cuisine. They also visited Dena’s Grecian restaurant, where they dined on Greek foods. MILC club also sponsored several students in their travels abroad to live with a hosting family. During this time the stu- dents studied and lived the customs which had previously been so foreign to them. While MILC studied the present”’ of foreign countries, the Latin club studied the ‘‘past.’’ Some of the members attended the annual conven- tion, sponsored by the VJCL, held in Roanoke, Virginia. Here the students competed with schools from all over Vir- ginia, in such contests as scho- lastic testing, costume designs, and art projects. At this con- vention one of Midlo’s stu- dents, Cindy Weinhold, was elected treasurer of the VJCL. Continuing their active schedule, the Latin club held many social functions such as, picnics, bowling and pizza par- ties, a Halloween costume par- ty, and a Christmas Banquet. The activity of the language students and their teachers was highly visible. The large num- bers of language students who held membership in the clubs was also proof of the vitality of the language department.

Elisa Nat- - SN ics ai. ing, and VICA had as their goal the acquisition of exper- ience and information about the business world. The club members also incorporated elements of fun and service into this goal. The clubs’ activi- ties were held in environments that promoted a business atmo- sphere. The students in VICA were involved in an Industrial Coop- erative Training Work Pro- gram. Many of these students held jobs in warehouses, lands- caping, construction, and sur- veying. For example, Shannon Hartman, installed dental equipment as part of this work. Besides monthly meetings, VICA offered several outings and held lunches and dinners. Competition was also an im- portant part of another club, the FBLA. Several members at- tended a regional competition at Virginia State University. Each student took a different kind of test and many students alie scored third place in Data Processing Concepts while Casey Sowers scored first place in Entrepeneurship. FBLA also sponsored the Hal- loween dress-up day and the door-decorating contest at Christmas. In the spring the club sold beach towels for a fund-raiser. The Marketing Club operat- ed their organization with a membership of 60 students. The group held monthly meet- ings and participated in a num- ber of projects. One of these was centered around an idea to help the school remain clean. The members sponsored a school-wide clean-up cam- paign. They hung posters, made several announcements, and encouraged everyone to clean up their trash. _ The three clubs expanded their memberships this year as more and more students ex- pressed a desire to become in- volved with business activities.

Members of both the Drama club and Center Stage, as well as Mrs. Katherine Baugher, ad- visor, performed every job imaginable connected with play production. The four big productions in which the club members were involved included Vanities, Chapter Two, Blithe Spirit and The Wiz. With the help of the drama club, sets and props were made, put up, and some- times completed only hours be- fore the play. This ‘working to curtain’’ was nerve-racking. Scott Street said that ‘‘Al- though there is a large mem- bership turn-out at all the meet- ings, only a small group of workers actually show up to do the hard work. This becomes a real problem.” Besides their work on plays, the club also participated in ac- tivities such as May Olympics. At Christmas they held their annual “Crimpus’’ party. All members brought gag gifts for other members to be distribut- ed out by Father Crimpus, a male senior member of the club. Gifts included whoopy cushions, coloring books, and baby items — all just for fun. The Center Stage Company was a select group of actors and actresses who accumulat- ed at least ten points through their work in drama. Role-play- ing, working with special ac- tivities, and serving on commit- ees provided opportunities for earning these points.

A SERIOUS MOMENT! Key Club members Scott Rinaldi and Ka- ren Petrasy reflect on what is ob- viously an intense issue. Serving Dedicated to serving, the Key Club was responsible for accomplishing many projects which benefitted the school and the community. The annual fund raiser, the door-to-door car wash in Sep- tember, combined a day of fun with a worthwhile project. ‘Atter a hard day's work, it was pleasing to find that we collect- ed over 1,000 dollars,”’ said Todd Scudder an active mem- ber. By far, the project involving more student participation was the annual May Olympics. Here clubs in the school com- peted with one another in events such as pie-eating con- tests, egg chugging contests, clothes relays, and other fun activities. This extravaganza not only benefitted the school by involving all clubs in com- petition with one another, but it also supported another Olym- pic endeavor, the Special Olympics. Another service project per- formed by the Key Club was the blood drive. The club asked fellow students to donate blood for the Meterpolitan Blood Service. In doing so, the school was able to donate near- ly 100 pints of blood. To wrap up the year’s activi- ties, the Key Club held its an- nual banquet at Dena’s Gre- cian Restaurant. Here they in- stalled the new officers and gave out the year’s awards. The Key Award, the most presti- gious award, was given to Steve Spencer for his service to the club. The Key Club, under the di- rection of Rick Gray and assis- tant John Hagadorn, provided many profitable functions for the school, community, and themselves. 5 192 Into The Future Operating on the premise that service and fun could be incorporated into one organi- zation, the Future Homemakers of America Club organized and initiated activities which were mutually beneficial to themselves and others. Teachers were surprised and pleased when treats such as candied apples and muttins appeared in their mail boxes. The snacks, prepared by FHA members, were intended as a gesture of gratitude. During the Dominion District Basketball Tournament, Mrs. Gracia Robertson, adviser, along with the club hosted a hospitality room for the coaches and officials. Some of the club’s monthly programs featured movies or guest speakers. A specialist on make-up spoke to the group about skin care and the latest trends in make-up. ‘‘After- Clubs FHA school movie specials’ pro- vided a time to look at social issues together. A shopping trip to Sixth Street Marketplace showed the latest shopping op- portunities ‘downtown.’ In May, a trip to King’s Dominion proved to be the highlight of the year’s activities with fifteen girls taking in a day’s fun at the amusement park. Three members carried their FHA activities outside the con- fines of Midlo. Sonya Easter traveled to Roanoke where she was a voting member of the state convention. Two fresh- men, Holly Bognar and Deana Elliott, became involved in the FHA national cooking contest. From all of these activities, FHA members learned valu- able ‘‘life lessons.’ The actual experience the FHA members obtained allowed them to grow and extend their interest in ho- memaking.

Somehow thé remembrance of the awful gym elass-or that embarrassing English speech combined with the fact that it was survived, evoked a sense of pride from Midlo students. A burdensome year was compléted; and while it was good to see the curtain tall, there was a sadness in the finale. NO A Note From The Editors For the past year, through derstanding kept us all togeth- er. writing and pictures, we have tried to express just what Mid- lothian High School is. This yearbook is just a finalization of those thoughts. We know we could not have covered every event that occurred, but we at- tempted to show events that were of interest to everyone. We wish to thank Mrs. Phy]- lis Miles for the many hours she put into the book. We also wish to thank our staff for putting up with our ‘‘little quirks.” Our Herff Jones Representa- tive Mike Smith also has put countless hours of time into the production and final success of this book.

CO-EDITORS WENDY PEMBER AND KAREN PETRASY laugh at the thought of tearing apart 80 pages for the next deadline. 4 Closing Finally, we wish to thank the administration and faculty, es- pecially Mr. Poates, Mr. Carter, and Mr. Hulcher for their constant support of our cause. This is our final performance for the 1985-86 year at Midlo, but it is not the end by far. This yearbook will continue to re- mind us of those times which have made our years at Mid- lothian memorable. We dedicate the 1986 Tro- jan to the students, faculty, and administration. They are Midlo!
