Student life was in perpetual motion. Morning rush hour in the halls brought hurried “hello’s” and questions about homework from the previous night Lunch was a social time — gabbing with friends and eating to the beat of various musical “talents.” Some students, however, chose to eat to the beat of a different drum in the open commons. When the final bell rang, the party moved to the parking lot. Students extended their school day 10-I5 minutes standing by their cars, mingling with friends and making plans for the weekend. Weekend hot spots included Midlo football and basketball games, the occasional party, and the last resort — McDonald’s. Homecoming with Casper attracted many ‘Knights in White Satin.” With prom back on the Southside, extravagantly attired prom goers danced the night away at the Holiday Inn, located on the endlessly expanding Midlothian Turnpike. When June I2 rolled around, most students felt they had done their share of growing throughout the year and were ready for their two month summer break. On the other hand, 410 Seniors assured themselves that graduation was not just the end of one growth cycle, but also the beginning of a brand new one.

The question students posed as home- coming week began was “What does THAT mean?” The that referred to the theme of the week, “Nights in White Satin.” Imagina- tions were put to the task of coming up with just the appropriate way to illustrate the theme. Another issue, the reinstatement of pep rallies came as a welcome relief to a long period of having no place to show off school spirit. The news of the rally to be held on Friday lent an air of anticipation. The week continued the tradition of spirit days organized by the cheerleaders. Tues- day was classified as dress-up day, and Wednesday was designated “role reversal” day. Thursday was hat, button, and college t-shirt day, and finally the week ended with the ever popular blue and gold day. The annual powderpuff game and bonfire were held on Wednesday night. Because the senior girls had lost the previous year’s game and the juniors girls had never played in a powderpuff game, the outcome was not an easy one to predict. However, the in- tense rivalry between the classes was heightened with the seniors’ “eat ‘em and smile’? defense campaign. This proved to be the key factor in their 8-6 victory over the juniors.

In the homecoming parade competition, the art guild received Ist place for their ‘princess and the pea” float with Emily Baehr portray- ing the princess.

Student Life Homecoming GROWING ... to the beat The band Casper performed on Saturday night for the homecoming dance. The band played a variety of music that seemed to sat- isfy everyones’ diverse tastes in music. The 20’s song ‘Twist and Shout” sent dancers into spasms of dancing and screaming. Other pop- ular tunes of the evening were Kool and the Gang’s “Celebration” and selected slow hits from Journey. Silver stars and trees decorated the com- mons for the evening; but as the night pro- gressed, the souvenir seekers dismantled the decorations and all that was left of “The Night in White Satin” were tired bodies, aching feet, and fond memories.

Their in- troductions brought out a number of truly talented acts. Musical ability was the most emphasized talent. The beautiful voices of Leslie Hayward and Kel- ley Ruth sent chills up the spines of attentive mem- bers of the audience. Stu- dents were astounded that so many of their fel- low classmates were so gifted in the musical in- strument department. As at least four acts were bands consisting of ap- proximately twenty members of Midlothian’s student body. Muffy Cave followed in her sister's footsteps by dancing her way across the stage, while Kim Mitchell and Carol Bode- man entertained with one-liners and bizarre phrases. When the final act de- parted the stage and the trio of announcers said farewell, the audience had grown in awareness and admiration of the tal- ent possessed by the evening's performers. 17 Talent Show Student Life 7 Virginia | EEL MATER 1 VA0203471 With the growth of stu- dent population, came a huge increase in the amount of cars in the parking lot. This increase spurred the owners to “spruce up” their cars. Many waxed their cars or got a new paint job, but one of the newest fads was the addition of per- sonalized license plates. Slogans or writing on personalized license plates at Midlothian var- ied from nicknames, wit- ty sayings, fads, exploit- ed relationships, hobbies, secret codes, and even dreams of college accep- tances. Although not ev- we 38225235) g q so 7 x vase O)” “UL “Virginia VANITY eryone possesed person- alized plates, it did seem to add character to the cars which displayed them. Hobbies of car owners were apparent with the plates “| HOOP” and “SURF 87”, a trait that was controversial and a topic of conversation, a great way to meet new people. Some even con- tained the names of their cars ina “SNAZZY” fash- ion. “JAY CRX,” “RAD CJ7,” “MS GHIA,” “MM MG,’’ and even “‘THE CJ7” revealed the dedi- cation of the owners to their cars. Nicknames as JUL VA = , 4 B35 37 Bs well as initials were also Bopmiame YLLEK,:% “| AD ROSS I,’ Stas Ne G-WELL,”’ “GINGE S$” were popular among the parking lot cliques. Names apparent- ly were the most popular, since most of them were not taken, and easier to decide on. More innova- tive individuals thought up the plates “YA KINO Wee FOR YSOR, SAUER Zo Ol2CRUZ;.” I FUN FI,” and “2 TOADS.” These were the individ- uals who dared to be dif- ferent in the license plate fad. Having a diverse [es hae amount of plates within the school allowed a sense of individuality to pervade throughout the system. While some stu- dents received them as gifts, some purchased them at a cost of $30 ini- tially and then $l0 extra annually. Since no two were alike, they were unique in many ways. The most unique facet about | them was the fact that anyone could obtain one and place it on their vehi- cle. Whether it was a “draggin wagon” or a “sleek sedan,” it still add- ed a superior status to the vehicle.

Rela- tionships have taken a new place in the halls of Midlothian. When school started, relation- ships were few; however, after girls and guys “scoped” out the prospects, relationships bloomed just like the flowers in the spring. Although there were many kinds of relation- ships, they basically fell under four main categories. The first category was the “extremists.” These individ- uals found hugging and kissing in the halls very desirable, even at 7:30 A.M. They also found themselves inseparable, meeting each other after classes, eating lunch together, and sometimes even schedul- ing classes together. This category not only contained the long term veterans, but also a few newcomers on the relationship scene! Couple number 2, was the less risque, the “‘lessers.”’ These people still hugged and kissed in the same manner as the ‘extremists’; however, they performed the routines with less enthusiasm and exu- berance. These people were committed, yet public displays of affection were not as impor- tant to them as it was to the PUPPY LOVE SEEMS TO QUENCH THE APPETITE of this “‘lesser’’ couple as they enjoy a tranquil 25 minutes to- gether during lunch. HOW CUTE! These ‘“‘casual daters”’ lean against the wall hoping the teach- er on hall duty will not invade their “spot.” “extremists.” These couples accepted their relationship in a laid-back fashion. The “casual daters,’ the third group, are those who will never exchange class rings. These individuals were found meeting only occasionally after classes. While kissing in the halls was permissible for them, few actually engaged in this activity. Committment was not on the minds of these individuals; only short quick flings were involved. This group consisted of shocking combinations of couples, re- vealing the short term of the relationship. These were also the individuals who “snaked” on each other at parties and never furthered the confron- tation (the one night stands). “One-sided affairs’ were the last kind of relationships. While the others dealt with love, or so called “love,” this one mainly dealt with lust. These were the people who worshipped their heartthrob from afar. Sending notes, fol- lowing their heartthrobs in the halls, and arranging meetings were very popular for this group. The lasting quality of high school relationships was defi- nitely unknown. However, the special quality of these rela- tionships would never be for- gotten. (Notice: no names were mentioned for the sake of reputation and posterity!)

The burden of the presidency was par- ticularly trying during 1987. Student Life 23 24 What could be better than a school cancellation because of snow? What about seven days? Yes, snow caused the cancellation of seven whole days of classes. Extending over the weekend, this meant there were nine days of vaca- tion imposed by the weather. Coming in the midst of exams, these days were met with mixed reactions. Junior, Mi- chelle Harris said “It was a pain, | never knew when to study.” Seniors who were exempt from their exams were the lucky ones during this time. They had no worries and were free to venture out in the snow. Underclassmen were nightly under the threat of im- proved road conditions and Student Life The Big Chill” the resumption of exams. However, even a few of these students managed to talk par- ents into a day of skiing at Wintergreen or a ride to the Country Club of Virginia to one of the best sledding hills in the area. Finally, students returned to school on Monday, February 2. They were able to finish exams and begin the second semes- ter — just in time to see an- other snow storm move up through the Carolinas’, drop- ping another four inches of snow on the Richmond area. Again, schools in Chesterfield County closed; this time for two days only. All the way through March snow remained a constant threat. Even the slackest of students had begun by this time to weary of the snow. One factor had alluded every- one for a while and that was the depressing thought of make-up days. The school board was faced with rather unpopular alternatives: wheth- er to add the days on to the end of the school year or to take away all of the scheduled clerical days as well as the spring holiday. A bill signed by Governor Baliles on March 17 forgave five of the missed days. The Chesterfield County School Board reinstated another of the missed days which gave the county a three-day spring holiday.

Seniors Tony Natale and Dave McCormack find it very relaxing as they kick back and have a snack. The Bug That Ate Midlo That insidious monster, the “spring bug,” crept into Mid- lothian a bit earlier than usual. The contagion spread quickly among the student body as students and faculty were glad to shake off the cold which had gripped them during the winter months. Summer-like temperatures at the beginning of March prompted visions of sun tans and outdoor fun. However, the few warm days faded into cold ones quickly. As spring break approached, expectations were high that the weather would be pleasant. Students were eager to leave classes behind to revel in their spring ‘‘sickness.’’ At one point the school board had de- cided to withdraw 2 of the 5 days set aside for the break in order to make up 2 of the 7 days missed because of snow. Joyfully, on Friday, April 18 (the day before the break was to begin), the school board re- versed its decision and rein- stated the 2 days, making April 20 to 24 the official holiday for Chesterfield students. Their decision came as a result of a circuit court ruling in response to a suit brought by 8 Chester- field County teachers who charged “breach of contract.” The vacation days turned cold, grey, and damp in Rich- mond. Hence, many left the vi- cinity in search of nicer condt- tions. While Angie Macri went to Nags Head to get the rays, she found even the Carolinas were plagued with this wretched weather. However, those who went to the outer limits were able located the sun. Cancun, Mexico seemed to be the perfect place to wor- ship the sun and surf in the company of Midlo’s Kay Cole- man and Denise McGlynn. So while Richmond was drenched in this dreadful “monsoon,” river excursions were impossi- ble. Typically, the day on which students returned to school, the weather turned sunny, as temperatures peaked in the high 60's. Spirits improved as the weather warmed and June 13 approached. The trips to tan- ning salons were no longer necessary. The sun craze hit Midlothian with a red-hot im- pact. While soaking up the sun was important in celebrating spring, educational tolerance began to dwindle. As teachers tried to complete the work load, students drifted farther away as the spring bug hit Midlothian. Student Life 27 28 Express Yourself Q: How do you feel about the exam exemption policy as it stands now with a minimum of 5 days which can be missed? A: ‘“‘Seniors should be exempt if they make the grade.’’ Sophomore, Lisa Hayward “It (the policy) is unfair fora person who is legitimately ab- sent for more than 5 days and still makes A’s B’s.” Senior, Lora Yowell “| hope we get exemptions when we are seniors.” Fresh- man, Shannon Hutcherson “Exemptions are the only thing to work for second se- mester senior year.” Junior, Blake Hilton Q: With all of the new rules at Midlothian, what do you think of the inflated demerit system? (getting suspended for tardies or other such of- fenses) A: “The worst thing that should come from tardies should be an afterschool de- tention.” Junior, Sean Looney “There shouldn't be suspen- sion just for tardies; I’m on my last one!’’ Freshman, Geoff Hunt “The rules keep getting more and more ridiculous, I’m just glad to be getting out.” Senior, prefers to be unidenti- fied Q: How do you feel about the Student Life dress code at Midlothian?

A: “| think sophomores shouldn't be allowed to drive.” Senior, Tim Hunt “There should be a senior parking lot.” Senior, Kelly Dean “Shouldn't sell more stickers than there are spaces.” Senior, Mary Wrenn “Driving to school should be an upperclassmen privilege.” Junior, Clarke Payne | Q: Do you think the smoking (and all tobacco products) rules enforced in Chesterfield County Schools are justifiable?

Student Life “O’'DEM GOLDEN SLIPPERS!’’ Gold and silver accessories added a little sparkle to fashion this year. MARCHING TO THE BEAT OF A DIF- FEERENT DRUMMER, MONTY JONES combines classic and casual clothing and comes up with his own style. “Oh the times they are a changing.’’ Nowhere were these changes as outwardly visible as they were in fashion and styles. With so many new tashivir ideas and statements, it was hard to keep up with the trends. Excursions to the shop- ping malls were a necessary element in obtaining the latest craze. Sometimes, however, students found themselves purchasing items that became passé or obsolete as fast as they had come in style. Stu- dents had to make new pur- chases almost weekly just to keep up with the latest style, to be in the “in” group. Girls, as usual, were the har- dest hit with the fad scene. From head to toe, fashion was changing, and they made the % 4 � | , appropriate changes. Big bows highlighted the hair, as well as decorative clips. Kim Tracy and others exemplified this fashion statement. These ac- “cessories ranged in price from $3-$15. ‘“Prairie-look outfits” included a white lacy blouse and a long denim skirt, a look Christy Hodge found to be very complimentary. Leg- gings, an inexpensive clothing complement, were worn under long and short skirts. Cheryl Mason found these served a dual purpose. Not only did they make a fashion statement, but they also helped to keep the wearer warm. Outback Red clothing, dis- tinguishable often by its exte- rior labeling, also found its way into Midlothian as The Limited became a chief shopping stop “Ch Gh Changes” a ak for girls. These clothes were prevalent among all the classes. The flashiest new fashions were the silver and gold cloth- ing accessories. These includ- ed shoes, purse, belts, bows and a motley assortment of other accessories. Kelly Dean and Wellons Mast were fre- quently seen with this attire draped from head to toe, as sil- ver seemed to be “IN.” The guys at Midlothian even took part in their own trends. Crew cuts, for example, were a major fad for the guys, mainly the athletes. The “Dead” shirts were a fad of some of the boys who favored that mu- sic group. To surfers and ska- teboaders, WRV shirts were the “in” thing to wear. Most guys, whether surfers or Dead fans, found the wearing of colorful braided thread brace- lets a way to accentuate their outfits Brandon Cowan was noted for wearing 2 or 3 of these bracelets. Boys shunned the traditional dull colors and chose pastel shades of pink, purple, yellow and green. The classic good looks were kept alive as khaki pants and oxford button-down shirts be- came popular with some of the guys. Pat O'Toole copied the college trend of wearing penny loafers without socks — an- other must for this group. It was never boring, that fashion show which daily oc- curred, metallic or khaki, den- im or knit, what it was — was fashion. Student Life 31 ——_ iim It’s a Hard Life Ever wished for more than 24 hours in a day? Well, Mid- lothian students found that time was a valuable commod- ity with all of the school and extracurricular activities. The most courageous tried to con- quer classes, clubs, and jobs. Junior Alex Swartz juggled academics, soccer, and bag- ging groceries at Ukrops. Even in slight set-back, such as his broken hand, did not discour- age him. Holding club offices and managing a job at the Country Club of Virginia, Heather Cash felt life was very strenuous. Others also felt that mixing activities was not as easy as they had anticipated. In addition to school respon- sibilities, students had to deal with home responsibilities. Working parents and younger siblings provided students with responsibilities at every turn. Making dinner, driving Student Life car pools and babysitting her younger brother, Ann Schick found she could maintain aca- demic excellence along with these domestic obligations. Other unpolular tasks such as cleaning the house, taking out the trash and mowing the grass plagued many students. But according to Tim Hunt, “that’s what younger brothers are for, mowing the grass.” Setting aside time for per- sonal relationships while main- taining jobs and grades was another hassle. It was difficult to allow extra time for phone calls and dates. Often it just was not worth the effort. All students had to have self-discipline in order to maintain this delicate balance. Thankfully they did not know at the time that they were es- tablishing a pattern for their lives.

Student Life 33 34 Student Life Prom For Seniors it was the... Last Dance As the morning of Saturday, May 9, drew near, the Prom excitement turned to jitters at the thought of preparation. Picking up tuxedos, ordering last minute flowers, and actu- ally dressing only intensified students’ nervousness. Around 4:00 the home photo sessions started with trees, decks, and other outdoor scenes serving as backdrops. Guys donned their rented tuxs and girls wore the long dresses that were products of their endless searches. The dinner spots ranged from the Williamsburg Inn to the Goochland Foxhead Inn to Sean Spangler’s shrimp fest. As 8:00 approached, a string of limos, luxury cars, and even recreational vehicles began ar- riving at the newly construct- ed Holiday Inn Koger Center. The actual Prom began with AFTER MONICA TESSIERI AND JENNI- FER ELMORE announce the senior re- presentatives to tbe prom figure and their dates, the lines began to move to form the infinity symbol and the circle of friendship. the usual bustle as seniors scurried to take their places in the figure. As usual, some cou- ples who lingered over dinner barely managed to make the 8:45 deadline. The announce- ment of prom king and queen created a stir. Grady Daniels won the honor of being crowned queen, but where was her king, Chip Boone? As the figure confusion sub- sided the “Sparkplugs” took the stage. Though the name left much to be desired, tbe band overall was extremely en- tertaining.

Prom Student Life 37 GRYE'WING If there’s one thing Midlothian students loved to brag about it was the academic excellence of their school. From chants at basketball games to T-shirts to bumper stickers, students flaunted their academic talent and potential. Their boastfulness was not unfounded. As Midlothian grew in physical size, athletic ability and population, it also grew in academic standings. The nickname “Midlo U” spoke for itself. Academic competitions occupied much time in school and out of school. Whether it was forensics, Latin certamen, or Model General Assembly, students devoted long hours to their academic interests. Students also competed for places on the Battle of the Brains team and in the Virginia Junior Academy of Science. In an attempt to further their academic careers students turned to a variety of activities. Seniors attended seminars set up by guidance counselors. Also, talented students became involved in the year’s musical presentation of Funny Girl. Artists displayed their variety of accomplishments in the school’s library. The 9 days school was closed owing to an abundance of snow did not mar students’ academic performances. Unavoidably, missing these days did extend the school year, and rob students and faculty of several much-needed vacation days.

This music drifted from the band room. The marching band, the concert band, and the orchestra each had its own time of the day to practice in Midlo’s “home of instrumental splendor.” The marching band shared its talent in the most obvious way by performing at football games and at pep rallies. The band, full of spirit, helped spread spirit to students with its special, recognizable beat. The combination of music and marching skill impressed stu- dents in the sports halftime performances. They further proved their skill and dedication by partici- pating in competitions such as the Thomas Dale Marching Band Invitational, The VBODA State Ma rching Band Festival, and the Churchland High School Competition. But their work did not stop there. They performed as the Symphonic Band when marching season ended. In addition, 30-40 mem- bers participated in All Region- al Band and many played in the orchestra for the musical “Funny Girl.” Also, several per- cussionists played for the bas- ketball team’s send-off and the state tournament game at the Robbin’s Center. The concert band consisted mainly of underclassmen who had to spend time in ‘‘the ranks” before being promoted to the marching band. The members did not let this hinder their performance. Most of them, however, were most grateful to complete their year in the stage band so that they would be eligible for the marching band. The orchestra, though small- er than the bands, was a close group of talented people who also donated much of their time to their music. Their hard work was rewarded when sev- eral of the members went to Regional Orchestra and showed other musicians from the region just what Midlo stu- dents could do. Many mem- bers also ended their year by adding hours of rehearsals to their schedules to perform in the school musical ‘Funny Girl.” CONCENTRATING ON HIS WORK, as a teacher supervises, Larry Lescoult learns the necessary skills for a career in masonry.

Experienced teachers who had worked at the trade which they taught a Midlo Students Get Technical offered many benefits of their experience.

Excelling in their chosen fields gave the students a sense of accomplishment and self-worth. Students like Tom Jordan, who was judged “Best in Carpentry” in a regional competition, were practically assured successful careers. Courses in horticulture, cos- motology, printing, welding, and food service offered a va- riety of classes for those who wanted to use their time and talent. Drawbacks such as the 30 minute bus ride to the center or a few missed assemblies or pep rallies at Midlo did not de- ter these students. The privi- lege of attending a school where they learned a valuable trade or skill far outweighed these kinds of disadvantages. Technical Center Academics 43 Tapped into Honor Missing a favorite sitcom, spending spare hours at the li- brary, and skipping a carefree afternoon drive around town all paid off for some students interested in reaching aca- demic success. The Virginia A. Justis chapter of the National Honor Society tapped 45 stu- dents on November 25, 1986, while the Midlothian Junior Honor Society tapped 74 stu- dents on March [8, 1987. The recognition gave many stu- dents the incentive to earn “good” grades. To be tapped into the NHS. one must maintain a 3.6 grade point average, be involved in 2 extra curricular activities, and obtain favorable faculty evalu- ations on service, character, and leadership.

Academics 45 Foreign Students A Fair Exchange An international flavor was added to the halls of Midloth- ian High School with various European countries, including England, France, Germany, and Spain. Each of these students participated in a home-stay program, some living with the host family for 6 months, oth- ers for only 3 weeks. Although their time in the United States differed, the purpose was the same — to acquire an enrich- ing and learning experience. Many of the students trav- eled extensively and partici- pated in organized activities during their stay in America. New York City, Virginia Beach, Williamsburg, Wash- ington, D.C., and King’s Do- minion were among the places visited by students. Host fam- ilies planned some trips while the school sponsors organized other trips involving the whole group. The students enjoyed mak- ing American friends as well as meeting other exchange stu- dents. Classroom interview sessions extended their inter- action with other cultures . Through the sessions, the dif- ference among the cultures became apparent. Toby Tay- lor, a student from London, England, noted how American students had more parental re- strictions. However, accord- ing to Bernd Lienamann, in Eu- ropean schools the teachers are much stricter. The teach- ers receive more respect and WARMING UP BEFORE THE POWHA- TAN GAME, Andy Meinke practices his skills. He played on the varsity soccer team during his year-long stay in Amer- ica. 46 Academics the atmosphere is less relaxed. Bernd also commented on American girls. He said that the Midlothian girls were much nicer and easi er to talk to than European girls. Transportation was another major difference between America and Europe. Many Eu- ropeans prefer public trans- portation to cars. The Europe- an students were surprised with the number of cars Americans had. Martine Bi- gondeaud, a French student, was amazed at the amount of traffic in the school parking lot. She commented that in Eu- rope most students rode a pub- lic bus to school. The experience enjoyed by the host students was also en- riching. “You start to look at yourself differently after showing them everything you did from day to day. You had to step outside yourself,” com- mented Ann Schick, a junior hosting a French girl. Laura Meredith has hosted three ex- change students during high school. She said, ‘It got easier each time. You knew what to expect.” Her parents also en- joyed the interaction with an- other culture as well as the help around the house! All in all, the experience of hosting exchange students provided a learning exper- ience which broadened and enlightened both European and American students. STEPHANE AYMARD, NADIA WOZ- NIEZKO, AND STEPHANIE BOUTIN prove that fashion was similar in France as in America. MIDLOTHIAN CUISINE!

Academics 47 Home-Ec: It’s More Than Cookies The home-economics classes worked on shattering stereotypes. The traditional home-economics student was a female and was interested in learning how to sew or cook. That stereotype is now gone, replaced by the modern stu- dent, male or female, who was interested in a variety of home-related activities. The two types of home-eco- nomics classes, life manage- ment and family management, were not the same.

The classes totally planned and executed the wedding, from invitations to reception. An interesting pro- ject at Easter time was the “baby-egg”’ project. Students decorated and named eggs and then made them part of their lives. One teacher had to “egg-sit” with one of her stu- dents charges. In March, Mrs. Roberson and her students sponsored a week of activities aimed to attract the interest of students who might not know what was of-: fered in the classes. They served treats such as sugar flips made in a wok and fresh vegetables with an assortment of dips. Also, students viewed the mock wedding ceremony from the previous year as part of the promotion. It was the hope that these kinds of ac- tivities would attract a wider range of students to enroll in these classes. DRESSED TO KILL.

For those with good voices and a desire to share their voices, four choirs or choruses, all led by Miss Michelle Gregory, gave singers a natural outlet. All four groups, the mixed, treble, madrigals, and show chorus, got their first exper- ience at performing for audi- ences at the Vivaldi concert at Huguenot Road Baptist Church and at the Christmas assembly in the school auditorium. The Madrigals also performed at Dominion Place, a retirement home, entertaining elderly residents. In the spring, they also sang at the junior honor society tapping. Perfecting their skill led to several competitions. At the district choral contest, both treble and mixed choruses re- Academics Chorus ceived a superior rating, while the madrigals received an ex- cellent rating. The treble cho- rus also sang at the Blue Ridge School Choir Invitational held at E.C. Glass High School. Energy and enthusiasm marked the performance of “Just for Show.” Not only was it necessary to have a good voice for this chorus, but members also had to master some tricky choreography for their programs. Wearing flashy costumes (red sequined dresses for the girls and black -tuxedos with red cummber- bands for guys), they took competition a step further by traveling to Raleigh, North Carolina, and Lynchburg where they were enthusiasti- cally received by those audi- ences.

This musical exper- ience was attended by many different middle and high schools. (Monacan and Mid- lothian Middle to name a few) The concert presented one of the only times that Midlo stu- dents were allowed to listen to loud music in school! A few even sneaked hand fuls of M M’s sold by class officers. Robert Paquette taught the audience about life in his na- tive land, Canada. He also per- formed songs that taught parts of the body (some shall remain nameless) to French and Spanish students alike. He Amigos ventured into the crowd and sang to several lucky girls. The band’s music was upbeat as well as didactic. Students rushed the stage to be closer to Hola, the Spanish band. The members, decked out in white, entertained the audience with songs ranging from the sublime to the ridicu- lous. Songs like “Scorpions in my Shoes’’ and lines like “Moon in the Refrigerator,” amused students. Both group’s appeal caused students to search for more in- formation about them. After the concert, a few lucky fresh- men saw Rodolfo Barreras, the lead singer of Hola, looking lost in the maze of Midlo halls. Many girls thought Robert Pa- quette had a certain sex ap- peal, and some borrowed tapes of his music to listen to again and again. Hola members even befriended some Midlo stu- dents. Mary Vann Johnson went out to dinner with Hola once this year. She comment- ed that they were nice and in- teresting. Rafi Zeno, a member of Hola, dated Sarah Judd. He lived in Richmond to take time off from the band and continue his studies. Along with a day of enter- tainment, both bands taught students about foreign lan- guages and cultures. Most stu- dents insinuated that they learned more from the concert than from 50 minutes of class time. tJemics 53 COMMUNICATING WITH HAND MO- TIONS, Denise Hoff, prose reader, fin- ishes the short story ‘To Kill A Child” by Stig Daggerman. ye Me P ‘ ei aca a: a ee a“ oh cay SG BAN ie 4} é ST BS 80 SOE BA: BN a is ae: al Raa, MEMBERS OF THE PANEL DISCUSSION on Central America pause to consider the answer to a question. 54. Academics Forensics, Speakers SPEAKING TO A MIDLOTHIAN AUDI- ENCE in an emotional argument, Jose Quinanez from Guatemala criticizes U.S. foreign policy in Central America. Because communication of ideas was the basic education- al concept stressed in high school courses, a variety of ex- periences offered students op- portunities to grow in speaking skills and to observe the effec- tiveness of oral communica- tion. Programs involving stu- dents speakers as well as guest speakers were designed to aid in developing and appreciating the oral presentation of infor- mation. For most, the thought of standing before others to de- liver an oral presentation ‘caused extreme fear and ner- -vousness. However, one small group of students, the foren- ‘sics team, embraced the chal- lenge of speaking before oth- ers. It wasn’t that they weren't nervous or afraid; they just seemed to be able to control Speak Out! their fears and use their talent in presenting their ideas (and themselves) effectively be- fore an audience. The forensics team began with school competition in each category of prose read- ing, poetry reading, extempo- raneous speaking, original ora- tory, humorous and dramatic interpretation, and spelling. The school winners practiced with their coach, Mrs. Kather- ine Baugher, and then compet- ed in district competition at Monacan High School. Three Midlo students qualified to go on to regional competition. Denise Hoff, prose reader, and Brian King, original oratory speaker, both moved on to state competition in Char- lottesville where Denise placed second. Relying on guest speakers, Mr. Robert Turner, Spanish teacher, organized a confer- ence on Central America. This panel discussion was particu- larly interesting as speakers disagreed about the United States’ policies. In another pre- sentation, a representative of Virginia Power spoke to sct- ence classes about nuclear power and the accident at Chernobyl in the Soviet Union. In classrooms, speakers such as Joan Girone gave students a break from the normal routine. Mrs. Girone encouraged stu- dents in Mrs. Shirley Pappalar- do’s classes to take part in lo- cal government.

After all of those years and all of those students, they had both decided to retire. For Mrs. Bilmond, her first project in her retirement was one long postponed — the wallpapering of her dining room. Even such a mundane job offered a sense of excite- ment. Jobs such as this often A BEMUSED MR. HESTER CHECKS Jer- ry Haydel’s hall pass in his ‘official ca- pacity’ as lunchtime hall monitor. PATIENTLY WAITING, Mrs. Bilmond and Mr. Hester share a quiet moment before a faculty meeting. 56 Academics had been put off for lack of time. Grading all of those May- or of Casterbridge projects and vocabulary tests had tak- en almost all of her afternoons and evenings. In general, Mrs. Bilmond planned to stay at home and enjoy life with her husband, a former teacher at Midlothian. The couple had met when Mrs. Bilmond (then Miss Longo) had first come to Midlo. Having rooms side by side, they met in September, became engaged in December, and married in June, a rather whirlwind court- ship considering the tradition- al Mrs. Bilmond. In her first year, Mrs. Bil- mond taught an amazing vari- ety of subjects. Even though she had been trained in college to teach math, she was as- signed classes in Spanish, sci- ence, and English. Over the years she also taught plane ge- ometry and biology before set- tling on one subject, English. Arriving at Midlothian in I96l, Mr. Bill Hester already had extensive experience as a teacher. In Il years he had taught in 5 different schools. In his 26 year stint here he taught under numerous princi- pals and saw the change of fac- ulty members and, of course, the move to the new school fa- cility in 1984. He recorded the move as one of the most diffi- cult changes that he made in his career. His role as social studies chairman during this time accounted for the extra burden of that move. Rising early for 7:30 classes, Mr. Hester reveled in the thought of being able to sleep until 8:00 in the morning. After lazing around for awhile, he planned to travel a bit and catch up on old friends and rel- atives. In a profession where tangi- ble rewards are few, Mr. Hes- ter valued his associations with students, particularly those whose love of history grew in his class. One of his students who took four of his classes went on to receive a Ph.D. in history and taught American history at Leningrad University in Russia. According to Mr. Hester, Midlo hasn't seen the last of these two, though. As part of the early retirement contract, they are bound to substitute at least 20 days each year. What better place to sub than Mid- lothian High School? These two teachers have seen students come and gra- duate; they've seen faculties and administrations change. It was interesting for Mrs. Bil- mond to note that some of the very same problems that exist- ed when she arrived are the same ones being dealt with to- day. To permit smoking on school grounds or not was as strong an issue in 1954 as it was in 1987. Few regrets about leaving existed for both teachers. After all, the teaching profes- sion has a way of overwhelm- ing one’s entire life. After a lifetime of textbooks, one- armed desks, red pens, and faculty meetings, Mrs. Bil- mond and Mr. Hester were free at last! § 4 4 oi. 7 UH) by ed ioe a A son NI dk it Me LE UIOO - ti a i ni edge gee See ee da . oni ci ll 4 DOWN THE DE- ALLWAY, the two head to the office ir ne last'stop for the ‘ o ® Se Academics 57 LADDER AND DANCE, taken by Mark Gormus.

Another Show Students who were interest- ed in finding an outlet for their creative talents worked on putting together and present- ing theatrical productions for the school. For many of these devoted students and their sponsor, Mrs. Katherine Baugher, the year became one long showtime. Actually, the drama depart- ment presented two plays, The Night Thoreau spent in Jail and Funny Girl. Both productions called for long hours of work with practices beginning months before the opening night. These practices in- volved serious work, of course.

The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail taught the audience about Thoreau’s friendship with Ralph Waldo Emerson, his soli- tude on Walden pond, and his transcendental beliefs. The play appealed to people who wanted not only to be enter- tained but also to be made to think. Since Thoreau was stud- ied in eleventh grade English classes, both Manchester and Clover Hill eleventh grade Eng- lish classes attended special previews put on by the cast. Students at Midlothian could view the preview with their English class. The play itself consisted of an inexpensive, abstract set with lighting playing a very im- (continued on page 60) MAKING HIS POINT, Thoreau (Lyon Ewell) swings his arm out as he talks to two townspeople.

The role required that Lyon be on the stage for almost all of the performance, which was a taxing job for any actor. Matt Mitchell, playing the part of Emerson, provided the only comic relief to an oth- erwise serious play. Funny Girl, the spring musi- cal was an entirely different dramatic experience. Combin- ing the musical talents of or- chestra students, the dancing and singing talents of the cbor- uses, and the acting talents of the drama department, the re- sulting production depicted the musical success and ro- mantic disappointment of Fanny Brice. Kelly Ruth, who played Fanny Brice, had to put the rest of her life on hold while working on the play be- cause of the demands of tbe difficult role. The play had over twenty scene changes with many elaborate sets and costumes. All of the characters in the play had distinct personalities, from the suave Nick Arnstein to the unforgettable ladies of Mrs. Brice’s saloon. Funny Girl had a run of four nights with a special performance that took place during school. Both the fall play and the spring musical kept up the ex- cellent reputation that Mid- lothian holds for drama pro- ductions.

Academics Plays 6l 2 G P wy “We | N G With the addition of two new wings to the building, MHS added to its credit the distinction of being the largest school in Chesterfield County. The necessity for building growth had come as a direct result of the ever-growing student population. A grand total of 1834 students and 120 faculty and staff meshed their talents and personalities into one massive unit. Although the school was a unit, the class of 1990 seemed to be one of the exceptional freshman classes of MHS. Not intimidated by the upperclassmen, they were able to stand up for themselves and became one of the few freshmen classes to maintain their individual self-respect and dignity. Taking the initiative in enthusiasm, the sophomore class stood out because of their exceptional display of school spirit. At pep rallies this class was always the first to lead all the chants. They were not afraid to let their voices be heard. Juniors began their year with a carefre attitude, not realizing what a difficult year academically they had ahead of them. Receiving class ranks for the first time and taking the SAT’s, the juniors realized their last two years of high school would determine their future. As quickly as the first semester exams ended, ‘“senioritis” began. By this time many seniors had been accepted to college, relieving much of their : academic tension. This left room for thoughts of beach week and graduation in place of GPA’s and class rank. The greatest challenge teachers and administration faced were due to the opening of the new wings and the increased enrollment in school. The social studies teachers had to make their move into new classrooms in October while math teachers were transplanted in March. Movement of materials and students made the moves rather difficult. Thus, the combination of physical building growth and overall advancement of students blended to produce the County’s “biggest” and “best”!

The slogan ‘“Midlo U-Smart Enough To Say No To Drugs,” circulated throughout subur- ban Midlothian to produce a positive approach to the drug issue. After successfully complet- ing this project, the officers cleverly came up with the idea of selling T-shirts which dis- played the phrase “Battle of the Brains.” This effectively highlighted the competition with Monacan, as well as it generated funds. Although the officers were busy throughout the year, May seemed to be the month of tur- moil. Not only did prom roll around, but also much of the organizing for senior activities had to be done. Thus, with the new legisla- tion concerning senior ab- sences and incidents of pre- vious years, the officers were continually plagued with new activities and new problems.

Wanderlust could be seen in many eyes. Where did all these seniors want to be? Far away exotic places were prime choices in many daydreams. Susan Watson would have liked to be on an undiscovered island in the Ca- ribbean. Plaza Mayor in Sal- manca, Spain, was Chris Boo- berg’s first choice. Worship- ping sands in Bermuda was Heather Cash’s “hot spot,” while Christie Wiley chose 66 Seniors Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands. Some seniors did not dream about such far away places. Fritz Sitterding and Melissa Ramos just wanted to be at home asleep. Ginger Southall wished to be in Annapolis, and Lora Yowell wanted to be in Ra- leigh. Could this possible be because certain people were in these spots? (Nah.) Brent King and Eric Booker would have loved to be in Milwaukee. What could that reason be? A few seniors saw a different vi- sion for where they wanted t o be besides school: Richard Wood “Tibet” Kim Boerner “Skiing in Switzerland” Damon Cook ‘Jamie Farr’s lap” Mary Squares ‘A Grateful Dead concert” Camp Sommar- dahl ‘on a soccer field” Tim Hunt “In Manchuria with the ‘big stick’ policy” David Johnson “Ina dimly lit room with...” Pat O’Toole “With my parents, or Miami’ Scott Bezjak ‘Out making money” Kazaan Vivieros'‘A beach in Australia” ‘A a William Kirkpatrick Candler Catherine Austen Carmichael: “Cece”; Latin Club 9-Il; MILC II- 12; FBLA 10; National Latin Exam Cum Laude 9.

Seniors 7I CLASS OF ’87 in 97 Looking forward, Midlothian seniors had high hopes for fu- ture careers. These high ex- pectations became even more apparent as the question, “What do you think you will be doing 10 years from now?” w as proposed to these seniors. While most of the replies were to be rich, married and own their own corporation, some were extremely different: “Manager of the Tempta- tions and the Four Tops on a reunion tour and living in Mo- town.” Kyle Knoernschild “An international business- man owning a flat and i2 wives in downtown Berlin.” Brian King “A nomad” Sue Klimmeck “Ruling you fools!” Todd Scudder “Editor of Surfer Magazine.” Laura Peters “A dancer on Broadway.” Audrey Lubienski ‘A gardener with immigrant workers.” Lindsey Hunt “An architect living in a stu- dio apartment in New York.” Kazaan Viveiros “Still trying to graduate.” Herbie Wrenn Although the expectations were high, it was curious as to whether they would succeed or not.

Twenty cars are a lot to have at your house, twenty books are a lot to carry home, and twenty school pizza slices are a lot to eat for lunch. For twenty sen- iors, though, twenty ranks are not necessarily enough. When they were juniors, the class of ’87 received their ranks, and some decided to work extremely hard to move up a few places. When senior ranks were finally provided, some seniors were not pleased with the way things worked 74 Seniors Ranking Hig Contest 12. Theresa Green 10-12; FBLA 12. out. Dropping only one or two places caused them to fall out of “the top 20.” This did not change their precentile in any significant matter, but it was enough to upset. So for this class at least, in- tense competition marked their senior year of high school. They had to maintain their GPA and watch out for devoted students moving their way up the class rank lad- der. Once in college, the com- petition was only with them- selves.

Patrick Mackenzie King: Sophomore Transfer; Marching Band Under a new State Board of Education ruling high school seniors could not miss more than 5 days from school in or- der to be exempt from their exams. Having only 5 days, seniors found themselves ina dilemma. Not only did many of them come to school when they were ill, but many also had to reschedule appoint- ments to meet the stringent attendance requirement. Obtaining exemptions for the first semester exams was particularly difficult because of the new regulation an- nounced to the seniors in mid- Seniors 78 10. Down, None to Go! October. By then many had al- ready missed the allotted 5 days. A few did manage to be- come exempt due to chronic illness or surgery, but many had to take exams because of the ruling. By the second se- mester, seniors had accepted the new policy and had decid- ed ona plan of action to handle their absences and still be exempt from final exams. Sen- ior Skip day was set aside, leaving 4 days to sleep in, re- cover from weekends, or spend a day at the river. lroni- cally, college trips to visit cam- puses which appealed to sen- | iors as college possibilities were “not school related”’ enough to be considered “ex- cused.” In the end, however, nothing was as important as achieving that final exam exemption. Having worked all year to maintain a B average, seniors were not going to allow an at- tendance rule to interfere with those delicious days when oth- er seniors were slaving over the exams and the fortunate ones relaxing, just waiting for the graduation ceremonies. ‘ JUST HANGING AROUND, DAVID JOHNSON finds park excursions to bea unique way to spend one of his 5 days.

Imagine the class of 1987 in the year 1983 as 8th graders. The 8th graders at Robious Middle School in June of 1983 insisted on walking to Stuffy’s as soon as school let out for the summer. With parental per- mission slips, eager 8th grad- ers waited in the forum for the signal to go. This was only one of the fond memories that so many seniors had of their younger days. The list of stu- pid incidents they have par- ticipated in was endless. Wel- lons Mast said she forgot to put the brakes on and wrecked Kelly’s moped back in the un- derclassmen moped gang days.

But seriously, the grade school and high school lives of the class of ’87 were filled with the usual trials and tribula- tions. The only thing seniors could have hoped for in the fu- ture was more of the same — the ups, the downs, and the laughs.

As April | rolled around Sen- iors were ina frenzy of antici- pation. It was college accep- tance time, and nervousness was the emotion of the day. mail boxes, looking for that special envelope. Most of the acceptances were discernable immediately by the size of the envelope. Thick was good; thin was disaster. Some colleges like Virginia Tech even had the words “Official Letter of 86 Seniors Each day, they assaulted © Cindy Rosser College Acceptance Syndrome Acceptance” printed boldly on the envelope. Only the first few words were important. ‘| am pleased ..’’ was the phrase everyone was looking for — no need to read further. However, a letter beginning with “We thank you for your interest in our school ” called for the recipient to read further, only to find out that there was no hope. Stu- dents were rejected for “kind” reasons: large numbers of applicants or competitive academic requirements. So as the college syndrome rolled around, the anxious sen- iors found themselves either in a state of depression or a state of exuberance. Hence, a sen- ior’s very life seemed to hang on one letter — the coveted letter to the school where they would spend the next four years. a A RR nS A A RAN A RR NR RR WITH A LOOK OF WORRY, Dave Mc- Cormack searches anxiously through the mail for his long-awaited college acceptance letters.

Seniors 87 Making Decisions Seniors found that making decisions was an intergral part of their final high school year. Decisions ranged from frivo- lous to fatal. Even the most trivial decisions as to what kind of invitations to buy for graduation seemed to perplex, while tough choices such as college overwhelmed. Many students had to make last minute decisions on col- lege preference since many did not get their first (and sometimes second) choice. Kazaan Viveiros, who wanted to attend Princeton, was placed on the waiting list. While she waited for the possi- bility of later acceptance at Princeton, she had to send a deposit of intention to UVA Michaei D. Smith: Football 9-12; Track 12; MILC 10.

Then there was the problem of which college to attend. Ap- plying at several schools and being accepted to more than one caused a perplexing situa- tion. Considerations such as majors, costs, distances, and size had to be made. Concentrating on the more trivial, seniors had to make de- cisions ranging from academic to extracurricular. Taking the AP Exams was a question that many students had to make. After turning in their money at an early stage, many changed their minds about taking the exams. The problem was mak- ing the choice of either asking Latin Club 10, Il. Lori Beth Sneden for a refund and losing $5 or risking taking the exam, failing it, and losing $53. Making deci- sions such as whether to go to a movie or a party prevailed in the minds of many seniors, es- pecially for the guys who had to make dates. While these de- cisions were sometimes triv- ial, they still had to be pon- dered over and decided upon. At the time, the decision- making process (while it seemed difficult) was a step in the right direction. Later these same teens would have to make more difficult or eco- nomic. Hence, the experience and knowledge gained in their high school career would carry over into their futures.

As freshman, they were in- nocent, bewildered, and, of course, short. They had looked forward to high school. Privileges such as chewing gum in class and eat- ing in the hallway added to the sense of freedom they felt. They quickly became used to the stairs and unaircondi- tioned areas of the school. As their sophomore year be- gan, they made the move down the road to the new Mid- lothian High School. This time, the building had no second floor, and all rooms were sup- posed to be temperature con- trolled. New faces came as a result of redistricting. By junior year, a routine was established. The class of ‘87 dealt with the traditional ju- nior workload and the SAT’s, but they still managed to have fun. Dwindling senior privileges were on senior minds as they began their final year. Their main objection was to changes in the exam exemption policy. They were still the graduating class, though, and on June 13, the high school doors closed behind them one last time.

A Finished Product Happy prospects of graduation, vaguely overshadowed by the sense of loss, ac- companied the arrival of graduation. Sen- iors scurried to address and mail their an- nouncements. They received their caps and gowns as well as their college accep- tances and rejections. The class of '87 counted down the days and prepared for their “big finish.” Senior week activities crept up stealthi- ly, beginning with Class Day on June I. With girls wearing white dresses and dai- sy corsages and the boys sporting ties and 94 Seniors Graduation dress shirts, the seniors had a definite feeling of distinction as they walked down the halls of the school. That night, Class Night began with Les- lie Hayward singing “Starmaker.” A tear- ful senior class listened solemnly to com- posers Carole Sager and Bruce Roberts’ lyrics about the future. Then, seniors with a 3.6 or better GPA were called to stage to be awarded the traditional gold cord and tassle. Filling the front part of the stage, 39 seniors constituted the largest group ever to receive this award. Each department then presented its academic awards and scholarships. Kyle Knoernschild, David Johnson, and Wendy DeGroat were the main recipients of these awards. In a lighter vein, the class history, read by Susan Watson and Patrick O'Toole, took many seniors back to their childhood days and their many adventur- ous antics. The awards in which the seniors were most interested were held to the end — the Superlatives. Although the categories for superlatives changed this year, each APPROPRIATELY TITLED “BIGGEST FLIRT’ — RICHARD WOOD receives a shotgun kiss from senior Class Secre- tary Kim Boerner.

AT THE BACCALAUREATE SERVICE IN BON AIR BAP- TIST CHURCH, 404 seniors and their parents, friends, and relatives wait for their cue to sit down. A Finished Product (continued) seemed to be appropriately awarded. Sur- prise, pride, and sometimes embarass- ment showed on the faces of the various winners. Rain-filled Thursday, June 4, was desig- nated as the day for the senior party orga- nized by the senior officers in lieu of a school-sponsored senior banquet. Despite the ominous clouds and falling rain, sen- iors managed to occupy themselves. Their activities included eating, playing frisbee in the downpour, and reading the class will. Friday was the traditional ‘skip day.” For the first time in years, a few seniors actually came to school. The new five-day absence policy for exam exemptions made attendance a ‘must’ for those who had reached their limit in absences. The absentee list for this day read “Seniors Present ...’’ Those who could afford to miss another day headed to Powhatan for a party at the Barnett’s land. This party was later attended by a troop of State Police who disbanded the party-goers. On a more serious note, Baccalaureate Service, held at Bon Air Baptist Church on Sunday, June 7, gave seniors the chance to try out their caps and gowns before graduation. A misprint in the senior ac- tivities bulletin concerning the time for the service left seniors standing in the sweltering heat for an hour and fifteen minutes wearing their caps and gowns over their dress clothes. Reverend Del- trich delivered the Baccalaureate sermon in which he warned the seniors about the effects of drugs and alcohol in today’s so- ciety. Seniors Graduation 97 The Final Product (continued) Finally June 4 arrived, the day that many had been anxiously anticipating since their freshman year — Graduation. At 10:00 on Saturday morning all 404 sen- iors gathered to practice for the ceremo- ny scheduled for 4:30 that afternoon. The mood of the day was wary, for the local weather forecasters were predicting vio- lent afternoon storms. Undaunted, how- ever, Mrs. Willis and Mr. Hagadorn, con- ducted the practice as if blue skies were there to stay. Promptly that afternoon, just as the procession began, rain drops began to fall on blue and white mortar boards. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the rain stopped and the graduation for the class of ’87 was in full swing. Address- es by Salutatorian Kazaan Viveiros and Valedictorian Mike Farabaugh both en- couraged the class never to give up, to search always for success. Administrative assistant Pete Koste called the names while Mr. Poates gave each senior a handshake and a diploma. Several seniors chose to give their princi- pal a hug instead of a handshake. With - ; . £ am X., this in mind, John Hudson, “Mr. Personal ity,” elected to enliven the ceremony by hugging and kissing his beloved principal. The one and a half-hour ceremony was then concluded with a Benediction by Reverend Dr. R. Benjamin Wagener, pas- tor of Winfree Memorial Baptist Churc' Tears of joy, sadness, and even relie were on the faces of many graduates. It had been a long, growing experience, and the graduation ceremony made this growth official. | GRADS LIN ANDERSON AND CLIFF ARMSTEAD, football standouts for Midlo, congratulate one an- other before the ceremony. the Class of 87...

Starting out with only $1,000 made this an overwhelming task. Unfortunately, they couldn't raise enough money through class dues only and were forced to organize an ad- ditional fund raiser. Selling Krispy Kreme dough- nuts seemed to be the best so- lution. One extremely cold Sat- urday in December a group of juniors sold the doughnuts door to door, raising the final $1,000. The class officers were also in charge of choosing a band and a location for the prom.

This group also fit the theme “Times to Remember” with their nostalgic songs of the past. As for the location, the new Holiday Inn at Koger Cen- ter was the selection. In addi- tion the officers chose May 9 for the unforgettab;e 1987 prom. Although it took an ex- treme amount of work and time, the officers were in agreement that it was well worth it.

Saturday morning and the alarm went off at 7:30. Odd? Not for juniors who were getting up early for the hateful SAT’s and PSAT’s. They shook off their sluggishness, pulled on their sweats, and ate a very quick breakfast at the insis- tence of uptight parents. Mak- ing sure that they had their 2 pencils, proper identification, and admission tickets, they headed for Monocan, the area testing center. Once there, they waited, chatting with friends before the doors opened promptly at 8:00. Finally finding the cor- The Pressure’s On! Trauma rect room for their testings, they filed in. A command of “Silence Please,’ brought a heaviness to the room. The test administrators ex- plained the testing procedure, and the testing began. By 12:00 the juniors were exhausted. They had poured out heart, soul, and brain into the Scan- tron sheets. The relief that the tests were over was now replaced by the apprehensions of re- ceiving the grades. All they could do, however, was to wait for the mailman to deliver their scores.

During class, girls compared their rings and gos- siped about the differences in them: gold or siladium, onyx or diamond, traditional or mod- ern. The guys handled the situa- tion differently from the girls. For them, their class ring meant that they had lethal weapons in the palms of their hands. Literally, the guys would turn the ring so that the stone was palm side up, and then attack all of their unsu- Kim Gromel Crystal Guss Kevin Guyer Cary Hagen Allison Hagins Jill Hague Jennifer Hale Kirsten Halper David Hamilton Karen Hancock Mile Hancock Robin Hancock Rob Harding Kevin Harris Michelle Harris Detrease Harrison Mary Hart Bill Hartley Leenora Harvey Jerry Haydel Elaine Heckert Bill Heisler David Hemphill Meredith Hickman Blake Hilton Denise Hoff Chris Holt Rebecca Hooper 104 Juniors specting friends with a playful pound on the head. “Will you turn my ring?” and “What number am I?” were common questions that fol- lowed the arrival of the class rings. Excited juniors asked “everybody and their brother” to turn their ring towards their pinky. A turn toward the thumb provoked excitement as this movement erased all of the previous turns. On the eighty-eighth turn, proud ring owners received the tradition- al kiss that accompanied the last turn. ANN SCHICK DISPLAYS HER BOY- FRIEND’S CLASS RING, opening her locker.

With the easy accessibility of the new fitness centers, keeping in shape was the trend. The Briarwood Club be- came Briarwood Wellness and Fitness Center, and Salisbury built an addition to accomo- date the growing interest in the body. Most of the guys were in it for the muscles to impress the girls. Juniors Chris Kilorn and Mike Schwartz frequented Briarwood for the exercise, while John Earwood and Paul Rowe worked with free weights at Salisbury. Girls usu- ally had one goal in mind — to lose weight. Ann Schick and Amy Lau often utilized the Nautilus machines to shed an unwanted pound or two.

The school also provided a weight room where students worked-out daily. Coach lan- uccitand Mr. Bill Pugh conduct- ed regular weight training ses- sions during the off-season to keep the athletes in shape. Whether students were working out for their own rea- sons or for school athletics, it took hard work and a great amount of willpower. Accord- ing to public health officials, American kids were lacking proper exercise; however, Midlo students seemed to con- tradict this theory.

It was always the subject of conversation — “I’m broke.” “Can | Borrow five dollars?” For whatever purpose, juniors spent money and a lot of it! What one did with his or her money varied greatly. A ma- jority of the girls spent their money on clothes. The most popular stores were the Limit- ed and Benetton. Both carried a wide selection of oversized sweaters, priced generally around $50.00. Girls also spent money on entertainment, con- certs, albums, and gas. Some of the more popular groups to see or hear were R.E.M., U2, and the Smiths. For guys, dates were the ma- jor expense. With movies at $4.50 a ticket, there were no cheap dates! Another popular item was the dreaded car ex- penses, which seemed never to go away. Gas prices varied during the year from around $1.00 to 75¢ a gallon. Guys also spent a large amount of money on music, with the Grateful Dead, R.E.M., Dire Straits, and Pink Floyd being some of the more popular bands. With the advent of the compact disc player, or c.d., these groups could be heard in such a way that it sounded as if the group was in the same room as the person listening. The only drawback of the c.d. player was that it was not cheap, starting at around $100.00 for a basic component. Adding to this expense were the discs themselves, priced around $12.00 to $15.00 apiece. These were but a few of the common expenses of the ju- nior class. They were becom- ing a major part of the spend- ing public, and many did not realize the strength of their purchasing power. They were the buyers of tomorrow.

For a few juniors, dinner with a date highlighted their Saturday nights. Catching a favorite band concert was yet another favorite pastime. If Saturday night rolled around without any specific plans on the social agenda, then simply cruising in the car without any particular destination was considered a perfectly acceptable source of entertainment.

All had en- dured hours of driver’s educa- tion wondering if their pa- tience would hold to the end of the semester that marked the completion of the course. Along with the classroom por- tion of driver’s education was “behind-the-wheel” training fT Ss ie a he ON ne —— lI6 Sophomores which, for some, came natural- ly. For others, however, it was quite an experience. When asked the question of which sex performed better behind the wheel, driving in- struction, Coach Crozier, re- plied, “According to insurance companies, girls are better drivers. Boys cause four times as many deaths as girls. Insur- ance rates reflect this. But as far as ‘behind-the-wheel’ training is concerned, you can’t tell the difference.” Much of the credit for the suc- cess of these new drivers went to their instructors’ nerves of steel, incredible patience, and sense of humor. Gradually the new drivers emerged, and before long the entire sophomore class was driving. With a driver’s license there came a new feeling of freedom, especially from BEFORE ANOTHER DAY OF “BEHIND THE WHEEL” TRAINING, the new driv- ers check the trunk for the proper first aid items and essential emergency equipment.

Now, except for the lucky few who had their own wheels, came the task of borrowing “the car.” But, the frantic search for a ride was over; there seemed to be plenty of rides.

Some, like Jeff Duty, preferred to be called a “new waver’ while others, such as Jeff Mounce, simply preferred “punker.” All were easily recognized by their diverse haircuts and unusual attire.

Some felt ostracized from the Midlo atmosphere. “If we can relate to other people, why can’t they relate to us?” in- quired an anonymous new waver. “We just want to have fun like everybody else,” he further commented. Even with this feeling, they were content as they were and took pride in daring to be different.

One enthusias- tic student, Holly Mills, said “It’s great!

Sophomores 123 Melanie Whitehouse Shirey Wolstenholme The class of 1990 started Midlothian with feelings of both apprehension and excite- ment. Although they were a bit nervous at first, the freshmen soon learned the ins and outs of life at Midlo. This class proved to be ac- tive and highly spirited — nev- er afraid to show their spirit at pep rallies and sports events, and quick to get involved in clubs and activities. Led by of- ficers Jay Roberts, Missy Rob- erts, Beth Muncy, and Emillie Alford, the class of 90 showed a strength and initiative unique to their class.

Midlothian was well aware of the strength and promise that the freshman class possessed. The freshmen faced many scary ‘‘firsts’’ during the school year. Certainly the thing that scared freshmen most was taking their first ex- ams. Luckily, the dreaded three days were over quickly. Other “firsts” that freshmen won't soon forget include get- ting lost in the halls, and of course, the very first time someone called them a FRESH- MAN. Although the freshmen faced many challenges, they met them and came through with flying colors!

When the class of 1990 en- tered Midlo they, as all other freshmen, encountered many surprises. Although some were good, some of the surprises were embarrassing. One fresh- man, Mary Stuart Boling, said she was embarrassed the most when she ran into somebody in the hall and looked up to dis- cover that it was a senior who was almost twice her height. Much to her dismay, the boy grunted loudly and growled, “Freshman!” causing further embarassment. Other fresh- men mentioned getting lost and walking into the wrong class room as their face-red- dening moments of their first year of high school. Many mo- ments were uncomfortable for freshmen, but they certainly surpassed them all and never repeated their freshman mis- takes that caused such pain. perp soa t Freshmen 127 Jennifer Hall Melissa Halper Chris Ham Dianne Hamilton Robbie Hamilton David Hamm Chris Hanson Chris Hanuska Cindy Harding Pam Hardway Nicci Harris Kathleen Harris Brian Hartman John Harvick Surviving in Style Exercise discretion when Admit at any time that you are someone tells you your next a freshman. class is next to the elevator.

Ninth grade gym brought new, strange requirements to students. Freshmen were still required to “dress out” in the official county uniform and still had health half of the year, but some things were differ- ent. All freshmen were required to successfully complete a Red Cross First Aid Course. This course involved written exer- cises and practice of several techniques they learned in the course. Students usually enjoyed practicing bandaging tech- niques on classmates, but many were dismayed by the mere idea of practicing artifi- cial resuscitation. They were required to breathe into dum- mies that were lying on the floor and properly perform the techniques for tests before their teachers. Some students considered the whole idea to be disgusting or “gross,” but they learned valuable, life-sav- ing information. In the second semester they were offered an optional sex education course adminis- tered by nurses. The course was designed to inform stu- dents of facts and statistics relative to their age group. Although many didn’t seem too thrilled about parts of their gym classes, freshmen were actually relieved to escape the boredom of the usual physical education topics that are re- peated every year.

MAKING THE ADJUSTMENT to the barely palatable cafeteria food, Ryan Cole literally ‘stuffs his face.” You've come a long way, baby. In the beginning, freshmen had apprehensions about en- tering high school. They were greatly dismayed by the fact that they were the youngest students of the school and were thought by the upper- classmen to be ‘the lowest creatures on Earth.” Much of their new school life was a nightmare with huge, domineering students playing the parts of monsters, blocking hallways, ridiculing them, and making things rather difficult, but life soon improved. Picking on freshmen became boring so older students moved on to new, more exciting things, leaving the freshmen to re- sume normal lives. As the tor- ture decreased, more and more freshmen began to realize how far they had actually come. They had left eight years of school behind them and were actually real, full-fledged high schoolers. They worked hard to get to ninth grade and con- tinued to strive once they got there. They set their goals ear- ly and 100 freshmen even made Honor Roll in the first nine weeks. The class of 1990 came a long way to be fresh- men and continued to advance under the worst possible con- ditions once they got there.

By the end of the school year, most freshmen had been jolted out of bed by the alarm clock 183 times. They had fought the crowds in the hall- ways during 1,098 class changes and had heard the bell ring 3,294 times! The long- range statistics are even more unbelievable. After four years of high school, the class of 1990 will have spent 219,600 minutes in class, and 26, 352 minutes running from classroom to classroom!

With the addition of both new students and faculty, the task of operating one of the largest schools in the county system challenged Mr. Francis Poates, principal, and assistant principals Mr. Thornton Carter and Mr. D.I. Cheatham, as well as the administrative aide Mr. Pete Koste. Even before the school year officially began, they spent days preparing for the deluge of problems that such a large school population naturally brought, such as stu- dent schedules, teacher as- signments, building plans, and transportation. Above all, the administra- tors were highly visible. They were continually on the “go.” They popped in and out of classrooms and scanned the halls for individuals without passes. Wherever a student turned, there was an adminis- trator. The guidance counselors, on the other hand, worked more within their offices as a hea- vier work load meant more pa- per work for them. A neces- sary addition, computer termi- nals, aided the guidance office in storage of student informa- tion and adjustment of sched- ules. Along with their already strenuous schedules, guidance TRASHBUSTERS, Mr. Thornton Carter and Mr. Pete Koste make sure trash is disposed of properly, using the column as their crutch. MRS. JOAN BARNES, ALONG WITH MRS. DEBORAH UNDERHILL, diligently work on the flow of paperwork that en- gulfed the guidance office. 136 Faculty counselor, Mrs. Phyllis Jones, started a senior seminar pro- gram. This program aided sen- iors in filling out applications to colleges and in making ca- reer decisions. One course on stress management gave ad- vice on charging mental abili- ties. Along with the guidance counselors and administra- tors, the aides and secretaries played a vital role. Secretary Mrs. Frances Lavender and bookkeeper Mrs. Alease Frady seemed always in a frenzy of activity, typing or counting. Though their efforts were not always obvious, the secre- taries and aides were busy each day performing duties and responsibilities which kept the school functioning. In the clinic Mrs. Shirley Wauters and Mrs. Joan Robin- son had to deal with student absences by keeping rolls and calling home to some perpet- ually absent students. The work of keeping the school operating smoothly be- came even more difficult as student enrollments grew and physical facilities spread. Ad- ministrators, counselors, aides and secretaries shared in the responsibility of guiding that growth. GET OUT OF THAT SUN!

For many teachers — specifi- cally coaches and sponsors of clubs and organizations — these times were seldom ob- served. These dedicated souls were generally at school at 7:00 and were often still hard at work until evening. A twelve-hour day was not un- common. The growth in the student body greatly influenced the growth in clubs, teams, as well as organizations. Because of the Call this growth, sponsors and coaches had to increase their responsibilities to their groups. Sponsors such as Mrs. Sue Robertson performed dou- ble duty as Latin Club sponsor and co-sponsor of the National Honor Society, while Mr. Rick Gray gave his time and leader- ship to the Key Club and Youth and Government Club.

These women were not simply victims of overeating, they were eating for two. Five teachers were expecting addi- tions to their families. Mrs. Landes, Mrs. Healy, Mrs. O’Dell, Mrs. Rothenburg, and Mrs. Tucker were all pregnant at some time during the school year. At first students reacted awkwardly to these pregnan- cies. Some were unsure of the situation. Mrs. Landes was not above playing tricks, though. When one of her students asked her if she was pregnant, she pretended that she was not. This left the student com- pletely bewildered. Students all reacted differently, but Evaline Jones — French, MILC. Faye Jones — Art. Phyllis Jones — Guidance Counselor. Doug Kellner — Orchestra.

It was also suggested that she put a remote control on her rolling chair to help in getting around the classroom. In the halls, students would make room for pregnant teachers, sometimes by yell- ing, “pregnant teacher”! Pregnant teachers encoun- tered difficulties with teach- ing. It became hard to maneu- ver in between the narrow aisles of the classrooms. Also, doctors advised them to keep their feet elevated, but this proved impossible. No matter what the prob- lems, the teachers all knew that much joy would result be- cause of the experience. WILL THE REAL MRS. ROTHENBERG PLEASE STAND UP!

Faculty 143 GROWING It was the year of championships for Midlothian’s athletics. Adding an A” to the AA status did not present an obstacle to the athletes or the coaches. In ’87 being a Midlo Trojan meant being a winner. The year began with the overwhelming success of the football team. With the first homecoming win in six years and the district title under their belt, the team advanced to regional competition. The field hockey team displayed their ability with a victory in the regional tournament, making them one of three teams to compete at the state level. Needless to say, the arrival of the cold weather did not freeze or even hamper the athletic abilities of Midlo teams. The winter season marked another growth period in Midlothian athletics. Wrestlers proved their ability by capturing the regional title. Coach Bomboske led the basketball team to an impressive 22 victories. The finale of their season came at the Robins Center where they faced Indian River in the state tournament. The winning tradition continued as spring sports came “into play.” Victories by the baseball, soccer, and softball teams reinforced the pattern set by the other teams. , No matter what the score, Midlo athletes and coaches proved their winning status in ’87. Growth was evident in their ability as well as their attitudes. 3 F Vea LIKE A FAN ON A TA CROSS COUNTRY THE SIDELINES, quarter- TRI-MEET Josh Rade- back George Kerr receives assis- maker leads the pack while rak- tance from manager Diana Nor- ing in points for Midlo at the ris. finish line. ‘ ee si ie ti mt . _ Wa !

Coach Jon lanucci First time in I8 years — Trojans Capture Title All the hot summer prac- tices and grueling weightlift- ing required by Coach John lanucci finally paid off for the varsity football team. Led by an outstanding squad of sen- iors, the Trojans had their most successful season since 1968 as they captured the Do- minion District Championship. The string of victories be- gan with a crushing win over Hopewell, 23-I4, in the first game of the season. What proved to be the only blemish on the near-perfect record oc- curred in the next game when the Trojans fell to Clover Hill. The experience of seniors such as team captains Lynn Anderson, Herbie Renn, Bran- don Bonser, Cliff Armstead, and Curtis Robinson was evi- dent when the Trojans came back in the next game to top- ple Wythe, 40-0. Even when the more experienced Trojans failed to dominate the oppos- ing team, younger team mem- bers filled in the gaps. Against the Monarchs of Meadowbrook. sophomore Da- vid Stone kicked a I yard field goal in the last seconds of the half to pull off another Trojan victory. Another underclass- men who was a tremendous as- set for the Trojans was junior George Kerr. When starting quarterback Jack Nelms suf- 146 Sports Football fered an injury early in the sea- son, Kerr stepped in taking over the position with success. A mid-season slump threat- ened the Trojans during their first away game against Thom- as Dale, but the team simply refused to be beaten. This spir- it and pride carried over and brought Midlothian their first homecoming victory in seven years. In this game L.C. Bird posed a tremendous threat to the Trojans because of their success throughout the sea- son; but hanging tough under the pressure, Midlo came out on top and edged closer to the district title. Refusing to let up, the Tro- jans stomped over Huguenot the following week 35-0. After taking the lead early in the game, Coach lanucci used this opportunity to give his start- ers a rest and check out the potential of some younger team members. Chris Killorn, Lee Langford and Charles Mill- er were just a few of the prom- ising players given a chance to prove their ability. The following week Midlo faced Henrico ina non-district match-up.

The fans were on their feet the en- tire game watching one offen- sive play after another. The Trojans were victorious with a 37-27 win over the Chiefs. Midlo finished out their reg- ular season with a ‘‘bang” by crusing Manchester 28-0. With the completion of the regular season, the Trojans were named the offical Dominion District Champions of 1986, which was the first time they have held the title in I8 years. Although the J.V. team was not as successful as the varsi- ty, the team was built with the same character and pride that led the varsity to victory. The team consisted of only twen- ty-five players, which placed a large share of responsibility on every individual on the field.

With returning seniors Ali- son Walek, Katrina Cunning- ham, and Christie Wiley, Coach Garrett claimed that “the ’86 Lady Trojans proved to be one of the tallest and skilled teams in the front court in the region.” In addition, Coach Doug Garrett with experience the guards improved their skills, having their best performances in the final games of the season. The regular season came to a close with the defeat of L.C. Bird, a team that later became season district champions. This was not only one of the most important games of the season, but as Coach Garrett said, “It also gave them valu- able momentum to go on and capture the Dominion District Tournament.” In recognizing the outstand- ing players of the season, lead- ing scorer Alison Walek won the Most Valuable Player Award.

It was the boxer shorts un- der the kilts that caught the attention. The shorts, brain- storm of Sheldon Light and Lori Parsons, were the visible sign of the spirit and unity of the team. This spirit was what had carried them through a victorious season. After a 5 to O win against Meadowbrook, they went on through the season, winning their district games.

Girls’ Field Hockey Sports 155 Coach Bob Wilkins We Are Family! Generally, running is a lonely sport. The runner is separated from others during the race. From the crack of the starter’s gun to the last stride across the finish line the runner sepa- rates himself from the others. This may have been the situ- ation during a race, but off the course, the cross country run- ners, boys and girls, bonded themselves together as a unit unlike a family. In the absence of individual “stars” on the team, the “fam- ily” of primarily young runners managed to finish 6-4 in the district for the girls and 4-4 for the boys. Although the team was young, there were a few ex- perienced runners. Two name- ly being Danny Sawyer and also, Matt Sutliff. On the girls’ team there were few stand- outs. The girls performed with unity as a team. Going into regional competi- tion the boys turned previous defeats by other teams into victories for Midlo runners. The unified spirit produced more than outstanding perfor- mances by team members. Ac- cording to Stephanie Carroll, senior runner, this espirit de corps taught them more about life — its triumphs and disap- pointments than they could have ever learned in a class- room.

They had the strength, talent, and determination. After all, they had won the state championship the year before, and and they thought they could do it again. To get to the state tourna- ment, the girls found little dif- ficulty in the season, capturing the district title by beating Clover Hill. Only the top sin- gles players and top two dou- bles teams played in the dis- trict tournament. Senior Kim Boerner and sophomore Shan- non Cubitt were the Trojans’ top singles players, with Shan- non playing number one. They won handily in the tournament as did the doubles teams. At the regional tournament at Douglas Freeman, the girls defeated Douglas Freeman, 6-3 in the finals. The matches were long, tension-filled con- tests as the Freeman top seeds were formidable opponents. As the girls traveled to the state tournament, it was like deja-vous. They had brought the trophy home before, and they hoped to repeat this suc- cess. Unfortunately, this didn’t happen again. However, their invincible spirit did carry them through the intensely close matches, to lose with a heart-breaking score of 5-4.

Coach Dick Bomboske Determination and heart marked — That Championship Season As the varsity boy’s basket- ball team walked into the Rob- ins Center, the feeling was overwhelming. They had made it to the state tournament, a task not many teams accom- plish. The vastness of the huge center was awesome. The team silently filed into the dressing room to prepare for this, the biggest game of the year. In fact, this was the biggest game Midlo had played in 26 years when they had last played in a game of this cali- ber. The desire was there; the spirit was there. The student body had turned out in force at the bus loop to send the team off with enthusiasm.

They were granted early dismissal if they had parental permission. In the dressing room, Coach Bomber prepared the team for the game, assuring them that anything could happen, and that Midlo could very well up- set their opponents, Indian River, a powerful team with a powerful center, Alonzo Mourning. As the game started, the Trojans made the first points with Senior Brad Pomeroy tak- ing the jump shot. Midlothian held Indian River within two points almost the entire first half.

The reason for their opponent's past success became apparent; they went on to beat the Trojans, 80-56. The taste of defeat was not bitter. After all, the season had been one of pride. In the dis- trict, the Trojans had dominat- ed, having an undefeated sea- son. Midlothian went on to win the district tournament, beat- ing L.C. Bird in the finals. In the regional tournament held at the Arthur Ashe Cen- ter, Midlothian had an exciting first game against Highland Springs, winning it after being down by 6 points in the second half. This put them in the finals against Hopewell. Hopewell defeated the Trojans. This was upsetting to the team, but both teams in the finals of the re- gionals were able to go to the state tournament. All starters for the season were seniors with the excep- tion of Eric Letts. Points scored in games and the awards garnered at season’s end proved that it was an ex- ceptionally good team. Everett Watkins had 441 total points for the season. Also, the Rich- mond Times Dispatch newspa- per selected him as All Metro player. He made All District, All Regional, All Tournament and the State-All Star teams. Brad Pomeroy also racked up the points with a total of 418 for the season. He also made first team All District, second team All Region, All District Tournament team, and All Re- gional Tournament team. An- thony Thompson made honor- able mention, and Brian Sha- heen made the All Academic team for the district. The JV boys’ basketball team finished in a tie for first place in the district. Coach Dale Travis succeeded in mak- ing a strong team out of both sophomores and a few fresh- men. Sophomore Mike Taylor led the team in scoring. Other standouts were freshmen Mike Adamick and Ashley Watson. With the move to AAA, Mid- lothian also had a freshman team coached by Vatel Dixon. They finished with a record of 8-3. The purpose of this team was to give freshmen players the chance to play and to de- velop for movement to the JV team. FRONT ROW — Ben Dorsey, Mike Adamick, Sean Hicks, Chris Roberson, Jeff Dorneman.

Sports Wrestling Wrestling Mat-ters Varsity wrestler Curtis Rob- inson summed up Midlo’s wrestling team’s first year in the AAA division when he said, “The coach always told us that if we worked hard we'd be champions — he was right.” The wrestling team was defi- nitely made up of champions. They were regular-season dis- trict champions and won both the district and regional cham- pionships as a team. Their major “pushes” were the effort they saw from other team members, encourage- ment they received from the coaches, and the support they received from their few fans. The seniors on the team were a dominant element that largely contributed to the success of the team. Most of the seniors had been wrestling for two or three years and were looked up to by the younger members of the team. Their experience on the mat worked to their ad- vantage as five of the eight wrestlers who participated in the state tournament were seniors. Every member of the team set his own goals and worked to satisfy them at practice while running, doing drills, or challenging another wrestler (which they had the opportu- nity to do each week.) Those who worked hardest usually enjoyed the most success dur- ing matches. The feeling of pinning an opponent or win- ning with more points was enough reward for all they gave of themselves during practice. Coach Overton and Coach Moody did their part to aid in the team’s success. Their prodding and their encourage- ment were enough to guide the team to the top. They had ev- ery right to be proud of their team and their additions to the school trophy case. Wrestler Curtis Robinson said about his coaches, ‘They were really great and encouraged us a lot. They didn’t yell at us after a match if we made a mistake like other coaches we saw — they just shook our hands and told us that we did a good job.” Again, the coaches were right; they did a good job. ae WAITING FOR THE REFEREE’S DECI- SION, Ryan Benhke holds his opponent on the mat, as he anticipates victory against his exasperated opponent.

Coach Dennis Moody Never Say Die It’s tough to begin a season with dire predictions of possible defeats and mediocre perfor- mances. Maybe it was just those predictions that accounted for the success attained by the var- sity baseball team. The team used these negative aspects and turned around a possibly disastrous season. De- spite the early forecasts, the team began to win. The team’s “never say die” attitude won them some games they might otherwise have lost. The game with Clover Hill was just one example. With two outs in the seventh inning, Midlo was down with a score of 5-3. The Cavalier pitcher walked two runs in. The bases were loaded and the catcher had the bal. He threw it to the pitcher, who missed it. Mike Shore then ran in clinching the game with a score of 6-5. This game eave the Trojans first place in the dis- trict. That same week Midlo lost a disappointing game to Mona- can, but they remained tied with the Chiefs for first place, finally going on to win the dis- LEict: Two varsity players deserve credit for their outstanding play.

That close 64-63 victory bound the boys as a team, leading them on to a win- ning season. Even their losses, such as the defeat by George Wythe later in the season did not break this bond among the team or inhibit their determi- nation. Several first year members helped establish the team as winners. Athletes such as Dan- ny Hilton, Chris Killorn, and Charles Miller added points in each meet. Mike Smith, an ex- ceptional newcomer, excelled in the 100 and 200 dashes, long jump, and triple jump. In field events, Herbie Renn and Rodney Baskerville proved to be valuable point-getters in the shot put and discus events. Mid-distance athletes who ex- celled included Jim Cheatham and Josh Rademaker. Some pace setters in tbe long dis- tance races were Jason Chris- tian, Brian Dunaway, and Matt Sports Boys’ Track - 2 2 h Sutliff. Another important point-getter for the Trojans was sophomore Damon Floyd. Perhaps the biggest success story in the ’87 boys track team was Cliff Armstead. With a measurement of 22’2” in the long jump, he captured 2nd place in the district meet. He also successively broke re- cords three times in the 300 meter hurdles, each time breaking his previous record. Such performances helped boost the team to proud victo- ries. Head coach Dick Overton stated that as long as the mid- dle schools continued to bring up good performers, the team would be in good shape. ““Coo- peration” was a big factor in the team’s winning record — cooperation on part of the team and the coaches. Coach Overton declared that he was, “real pleased with the coaches.” If not for the help of Coaches Dixon, Cacciotti, Manuel, and Wilkins, the team would not have been as high- caliber as it was.

Some of the new- comers who also made major contributions to the team were Jane Wickersham, Mary Kay Coleman, and Wendy Gett- man. In the field, Patti Whelan and Donna Morris led the shot and discus events. Turning in consistently solid perfor- mances in the long jump and the triple jump were Mary Heafner and Detrease Harri- son. Ruby Taylor dominated the high jump. In sprints, De- trease Harrison, Sheldon Light, and Renita Zimmerman set the pace while Susan Daily and Lisa Roberge were tops in the middle distance. Finally, in the distance Kay Coleman, Steph- anie Carroll, and Michelle Pel- tier outlasted their competi- tors. Junior, Detrease Harrison was District Champion in the 200 meter. There were also several records that were broken in such events as the discuss, the shot, the 200, the triple jump, and the long jump. Girls’ Track Sports 175 176 Swinging Singles The strength of youth, never a quality to be overlooked, be- came a source of power for both the JV and varsity soft- ball teams. The young players on both teams lent a vitality to the team play. Although the age factor did not always lead to victory, it definitely made its impact felt. The proof of the benefits of youth came when three JV players were moved up to the Varsity team midway through the season. Kathy Brown, Becky Saunders, and Tonia Sheffield stepped in and lent a hand to an ailing Varsity team.

The first all-district team consisted of senior Keith Woodyard; junior Clarke received a position on the sec- ond all-district team as well as the academic team along with goalkeeper, David Romig.

Morning announcements also informed everyone as to where and when these meetings would be held. With the variety of clubs at MHS every student had a chance to become involved in some type of school activity. The Key Club and MHS’ newest club, Interact, gave students the chance to be members of a service club involving not only the school and community, but other states and countries, also.

For those persons interested in expressing their school spirit and performing before 1,834 people at pep rallies, the cheering squads, pom- pons, majorettes, and the honor guard drill team were available. With the reinstatement of the pep rallies there were many opportunities for those persons to display their talents. Students bound for stardom found that the Drama Club gave them a chance to express their acting abilities. The Drama Club performed two plays this year — The Night Thoreau Spent In Jail in the fall and Funny Girl in the spring.

Foot stomping, screaming, clapping fans — the dream of every cheerleading squad — thrilled the 12 varsity girls who brought MHS fans from apathy to frenzy. This was the scene at the Robins Center during the state basketball tourna- ment where enthusiastic cheerleaders led fans in sup- port of the team. They had come a long way, these dedi- cated girls, and here was their reward. This kind of gratification came as a result of much hard work. Practices began in the summer at cheering camp. Both varsity and JV squads at- tended a week-long session at JMU where they learned new cheers and chants. Their hard work paid off there when the J.V.

When the school year be- gan, they were fully prepared, not only for the football sea- son, but for all sport seasons during the school year. They spent hours of work designing team banners for every sport throughout the year. On the first day of school, banners lined the commons area, get- ting the school year off to a spirited start. During the fall and winter seasons, similar banners lined the halls, pro- moting a team’s next game. As aresult of this all-around hard work they received nu- merous compliments, includ- ing those from other schools’ cheering squads. One reason for their excellence was the fact that none were first year cheerleaders. They had exper- ience behind them. Sponsor Nancy Price stated, ‘These cheerleaders are perhaps the best we've had in the past ten or fifteen years.” Some of the cheers that were most appealing to the crowds were ‘‘Shake It Off,” made popular in basketball sea- son, and ‘Clap Your Hands,” in which the entire school learned to do a series of clap- slaps. The cheerleaders’ school spirit was definitely conta- gious, and, as a result, they in- creased crowd attendance and enthusiasm at home and away games. J.V.

Twist and I wirl With practices after school until 4:00 everyday and giving up two weeks of summer vaca- tion for camps, it was no won- der that the pom-pon squad was made up of a select few. As seniors, Francine Carnevale said, ‘It took alot of hard work and extreme dedication.” Beginning in the summer, the pom-pon squad learned early about this hard work and dedication as they first at- tended a four-day camp at the University of Richmond. There the girls attended classes all day long where they learned many different routines. They also performed as a group and won two awards, ‘most spirit- ed group” and “most together group.” Later in the summer the squad travelled to Ferrum for band camp where they worked on the halftime show with the band. On the last day of camp they had to perform the rou- tine with the band. During the year the squad also went with the band to LEFT TO RIGHT — Francine Carana- vale, Kent Porterfield, Rebecca Hooper, Uyen Tran, Lisa Watkins, Leah Eichel- competitions, the Christmas parade, and the county fair. This participation required that they master the skills of marching, about-face, and mark-time march. One thing which they were most noted for was performing in pep ral- lies, which were reinstated this year. Another person who added to the school spirit was major- ette, Allison Hagin. She had the distinction of being the only majorette representing the school. Having this distinction did have positive side. As Alli- son put it, “It was easier be- cause you did not have to k eep in step with others.” She did have certain responsibilities. She attended band camp, per- formed in the band competi- tions, and marched with the band in parades. Whether it was a squad working together or one girl performing alone, the spirit was still present — the spirit of representing their high school. baum, Caroline Lamberth, Nicole Hink- son, Lisa Berry. Pom-Pon, Majorettes Clubs 189 Toss and Turn Was it the applause, the mu- sic, or the sheer excitement which thrilled the girls on the flag squad and the honor guard drill team? For what- ever reasons, these hard- working girls took their per- formances seriously and put on quite a show for their audi- ences. The old adage, “Practice makes perfect” was adopted as their own as they spent hours in preparing their rou- tines. Both teams began prac- tice in the spring. The flag team demonstrated the results of their work on several occasions. For each football game where the band performed, they were on the field. They also competed alongside the band in many of their competitions. In April, the squad showed their flag- twirling skill at the Chester- field County Fine Arts Festival. Th eir crowning moment came. however, in the Robins Center where they entertained fans at the half-time of the state basketball tournament. Doing their part to enhance the band performances as well as their own reputation, the honor guard drill team gained recognition both at the school and at the competitive events. They competed at places as near as Smithfield, N.C., where they placed first in basic drill and third in trick (silent) drill, and as far away as Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, where they placed first in the trick (silent) drill. At this contest sponsored by Villanova Uni- versity, they were the only all- female squad.

Soon after- wards, the staff was soliciting again, this t ime for yearbook sales. As first semester pro- gressed, the staff experienced their first deadline, and they all realized the true amount of work invoived in documenting a year. In the second semester, the Trojan staff experienced more and more pressure. Deadlines became more fre- quent and tensions rose.

For an entire year members dedicated at least part of their lives to what would be a basis for the reminiscing of future graduates.

The Trojan Review, Midlo’s students newspaper was the product of Miss Pat Adams’ fourth period journalism cl ass. These students could be found scouting for news iInevery cor- ner of the school, as well as at sporting events and communi- ty happenings. The staff produced the pa- per from beginning to end, and editor Jennifer Little felt that this gave her ‘a great deal of valuable experience in prepar- ing for a future in journalism.” The staff echoed her feelings and were very proud to be the “voice of the students.” Staff member John Elson stated that working on the paper ‘built character and leadership qual- ity,” and felt that learning to work and communicate with the other people on the staff was a great benefit. Fellow writer Dave McCormack agreed. ‘‘Definitely,’’ said Dave, ‘what you put into it is what you get out of it.” Other creative students found the literary magazine, published by Mr. Mark Cas- kie’s creative writing class, was a place where prose, poet- ry, and artwork could be cre- ated. Each member of the cre- ative writing class submitted work, and they invited other students to do the same. In fact, the group received so many submissions that editor Salina Hovey and the staff had the tough job of selecting the best of the work to be pub- lished in the magazine. ‘'l was very impressed,” said Salina, “at the quality and diversity of talent in our school.” Clubs Journalism Literary Magazine Leading the Way Throughout the year the Student Cooperative Associ- ation remained an active part of student life and community. Beginning with their annual freshman orientation in Au- gust, the SCA’s intent was to serve the school in all facets. Extending its services out- side the school community, the SCA, undertook several projects which benefitted oth- ers. At Thanksgiving they sponsored a food drive and collected approximately 1,500 cans of food for inner city needy families. Then at Christ- mas the council became in- volved in another philanthrop- ic project — the collection of money for needy children.

Ready, Willing, and Able The formation of two new clubs at Midlothian, Youth and Government and Interact, gave Midlo students the op- portunity to get involved and make a difference in the com- munity. For Interact, a service orga- nization associated with the local Rotary Club, this was pri- marily a time to get organized. Under the guidance of club sponsor, Mr. Dav e Terry, a steering committee selected sixty members from the junior, sophomore, and freshman classes. Selected on the basis of their applications and per- sonal interviews, the new In- teract members were some of the best the school had to of- fer. After many productive planning sessions during the 198 Clubs Youth and Government and Interact second semester, the club was ready to start the next school year in style. Indeed, Interact proved to be energetic, enthu- siastic, and well-prepared. In fact, they boasted about start- ing some “friendly competi- tion” with rival service organi- zation, the Key Club. Both clubs agreed that a little bit of rivalry would be beneficial to club morale and improve the quality of service projects. Another new addition to Midlothian was the Youth and Government Club. A pet pro- ject of sponsor Rick Gray and club president Scott Bezjak, the club attracted a member- ship numbering close to fifty by the end of the first semes- ter. The primary purpose of the club was to involve the young people of the area in lo- cal government. In November, the club hosted a regional con- ference to elect delegates for the Model General Assembly held in April. Midlothian stu- dents won elections in five of eight categories and sent a to- tal of seventeen students to MGA on April 2. The Midloth- ian bill, which would require passing laws by referendum, passed both houses and be- came a law. Also, two Midlo re- presentatives, Ann Schick and Rebecca Hooper, were chosen to continue in student govern- ment. Ann will be Speaker of the House Pro-tem at next year’s MGA, and Rebecca will attend a National Affairs Con- ference in North Carolina.

Be- cause the members were cho- sen on the basis of applications and personal interviews, the club consisted of a highly di- versified group of students. “That particular aspect of the club,” said sophomore member David Neale, “helped promote unity between classes and dif- ferent types of students.” The club divided their pro- jects into two categories: school service and community service. School service pro- jects had the double purpose of raising money for the Key Club and boosting spirit among students. The club sold “Thank You” stickers, student phone directories, and Santa Hats, and organized the ‘‘football parking project.’ Key Club members directed traffic and parked cars to prevent parking lot traffic jams at home foot- ball games. In addition to these projects to benefit Midlothian, the club helped raise money for various charities throughout the year. Members participated in the spring walk-a-thon to raise money for the March of Dimes, and senior member Heather Coulson coordinated the extremely successful Midlo Blood Drive. At Christ- mastime, the club lent a help- ing hand to the Jaycees by tak- ing underprivileged children shopping for Christmas pre- sents. Club members Alison Bell and Denise Hoff described the shopping trip as “one of the most rewarding projects iit vw. PERIL, e Ts the club has done.” Perhaps the club’s most memorable projects were those done simply for fun. The club sponsored Cinco de Mayo Day to boost school spirit and draw a crowd to the soccer game against Powhatan. Stu- dents who attended the game were entertained during half- time with a “best sombrero” contest and a ‘‘bull fight.” Lat- er in May, the Key club spon- sored tbe third annual May Olympics. Various Midlo clubs entered teams in the two-day event, and the Senior Class team was victorious. Students competed in off-the-wall events like the egg chug, the pie-eating contest, and the tri- cycle race. The day provided fun and a little friendly com- peition and also raised money for the Special Olympics. tp FEELING A BIT DRAINED?

Both clubs engaged ina variety of activities that broadened the students’ cul- tural knowledge, and at the same time, provided enter- taining projects. The Latin Club, as usual, filled their calendar with a va- riety of activities, both aca- demic and social. In the fall the club planned several activities: a play and pizza, a Halloween party, and an ice cream party. In November the club traveled to the annual VJCL State Con- vention at the Norfolk Scope. There students competed in academic and art contests, as well as met with other Latin students in the state. The club continued its Latin tradition with the Saturnalia Banquet at Christmas. “Slaves’’ were auc- tioned before the banquet so 202 Clubs L anguage :. that they could serve their masters and entertain the au- dience. For its philanthropic project of the year, Latin Club mem- bers participated in the Walk- a-thon for the March of Dimes. For a change of pace, the club held a Latin Appreciation Ban- quet in May, to which adminis- tration, parents, and students were invited. At the banquet, award winners were recog- nized, new officers were in- ducted, and a speech presen- tation was given by a noted Latin teacher from Fairfax. The Latin Club continued its tradition of being an acadmic, philanthropic, and social group. MILC experienced its first “triumvirate” form of govern- ment this year. Jeff Cole, Brian King, and Laura Meredith di- vided the main duties of the club between themselves. Throughout the year, MILC or- ganized activities and ser- vices to fund the scholarships abroad that they annually awarded to worthy students. The main fund-raiser of the year was the International Cafe. At the French, Spanish, and German cafes, waiters and waitresses were required to use the appropriate foreign languages to communicate with their customers. The cus- tomers, too, were encouraged to use the native language when ordering the food. Fake money was even used to simu- late a true cafe situation. Stu- dents bought one ticket that allowed them to visit each of the three cafes. Entertainment as well as food was provided by each cafe, as the student and sponsor coordinators tried to create a culturally au- thentic atmosphere. The cafe proved to be a learning as well as entertaining experience for everyone. MILC found other means to raise money. On Valentine’s Lee ‘ Svan Vw © . . : Cultural Expansions Day they sold balloons and de- livered them to sweethearts who were fortunate enough to be remembered. During the state basketball tournament, they sold pom-pons in an at- tempt to raise school spirit. In addition to these activities, the club provided cultural-so- cial activities, such as the Luau and the Oktoberfest. The Din- er’s Club, an extension of MILC, also helped extend their cultural knowledge. As a group, members ate at several area foreign restaurants, exposing their palates to tasty exotic food. Both MILC and Latin had busy calenders of culturally stimulating activites. While at- tempting to expand the cultur- al knowledge of the students, however, both clubs did not forget to add a variety and spice to activities to make them entertaining and social | as well.

DILIGENTLY WORKING, two Art Guild members measure and design the artwork that will make their ‘Princess and the Pea”’ float the best in the pa- rade. Aesthetic Expression An outlet for expression — that’s what Midlothian’s Art Guild was to its members. These members mainly includ- ed those students who had at some time been enrolled in an art class. The club, however, was also opened to anyone in- terested in art. As co-sponsor Mr. Buddy Terrell stated, “The club stresses aesthetics appre- ciation.” He continued, saying the club’s purpose was to allow the members, as well as others, to “keep in contact” with art and all it has to offer. He and Mrs. Barbara Rothenberg, co- sponsors of the Art Guild, led the club to a successful and creative year. The club got off to a great start with their “Best of Show” first place award in the home- coming parade. With the club's interpretation of “Nights in White Satin,” they construct- ed a float depicting ‘The Prin- cess and the Pea.” Those long hours of tedious work, stuffing pillows and painting props, paid off when the Art Guild was announced as the winner. As a group, the Art Guild ventured on numerous field trips such as those to the Vir- ginia Museum's west wing, to the musical, Cats, and to the art gallery at VCU. They also performed community ser- vices such as setting up a show at Johnston Willis Hospital and decorating the Heritage Sav- ings and Loan Bank. In addition to these activities, the club COVERED IN ASTRONAUT-LIKE SUITS, several members prepare a decoration by imitating the unique painting meth- od of Jack ‘The Dripper’’ Pollock. scheduled speakers to talk about colleges, art careers, and other related topics. Per- haps the club’s biggest project of the year was the co-spon- soring, along with the Key Club, of the mural in the gym. In the spring they began the large task of painting the school’s symbol, the Troja n, on the gym’s front wall. In its second year of exis- tence, the Art Guild proved to be a strong and successful club. The many activities in- volved its members in infor- mative as well as entertaining activities, covering many as- pects of the artistic communi- ty.

All in a Day’s Work Whether at home or on the job, Midlothian students were preparing for their futures. Two clubs, the Future Business Leaders of America and the Future Homemakers of Amer- ica helped in this endeavor. The FBLA, sponsored by Miss Maureen McCarthy, was an active group, emphasizing fun and competition. Activi- ties designed for fun included a pizza party at school and a trip to Busch Gardens. Other activities which were also en- joyable generated money for the operation of the club. The Halloween costume contest at- tracted over 20 “‘zanies”’ whose original costumes amused the audience assem- bled in the closed cafeteria. The club’s biggest financial success came with the face- painting activity before the Midlo-Hopewell basketball game. Not only did the club reap the benefits of this, but they also did much to prove that Midlo students were spir- ited and loyal. The proceeds from the face-painting went to Project A.S.K., a project for contributing to the fight against cancer. In the state leadership con- ference FBLA students re- ceived a number of awards. Four students placed first in the competitions; Brandon Bonsor, Mr. FBLA; Casey Sow- ers, Business Law; Kim Bell, SENIORS MARY HEAFNER AND CLAU- DIA EAT from a smorgasbord of culi- nary delights at the FHA FBLA lun- cheon.

All of the money went to the American Cancer Society. As a group they watched after-school specials, giving them an opportunity to discuss the problems of con- temporary teens which were highlighted on the T.V. pro- grams. An honor for the Mid- lothian chapter, Marge Stamp- er, President of the club, re- ceived the FHA Hero Scholarhsip awarded by the state organization. FHA, FBLA Clubs 207 Preparing for the Future Two clubs, marketing and apple core, gave Midlo stu- dents an opportunity to pre- pare for future employment. Both clubs were active throughout the year, promot- ing achievement in business and computer-oriented fields. The marketing club, led by Ms. Beverly Pierce, was espe- cially active, attending special leadership conferences, tak- ing field trips, and operating the student bookstore in the open commons. The bookstore was run by students from the advanced marketing class, such as Billy Colavita. Operat- ing the store gave students the Opportunity to apply their knowledge of management and buying skills. The club also sponsored a fashion show in which the fashion merchandis- ing class modeled the latest fashions. Also, juniors and sen- iors involved in marketing par- ticipated in an on-the-job training program that allowed them to work at many differ- ent area businesses including Ukrop’s, Erol’s Video, and Wallpaper, Etc. The apple core also provided Midlo students with exciting, career-oriented activities.. In- terested students were able to share information, swap pro- grams, and assist each other with computer problems. Later in the year, they lent a much- appreciated helping hand to the yearbook staff. Rob Wade took over the sales records and computerized them in or- der to faciliate yearbook busi- ness procedures.

Clubs Marketing, Apple Core 209 OWING Trading in their dungarees for three-piece suits and leaving their dirt farming reputations in the dust, Midlothian merchants and business people experienced a phenomenal growth. This expansion provided goods and services to a large segment of northwest Chesterfield county, known as Midlothian. The businesses radiated from Midlothian Turnpike. While Sycamore Square remained one of the most frequented shopping areas, businesses such as Little Caesars Pizza, Loden Gallery, and the Sycamore Animal Hospital contributed extensively to the flow of patrons to the area. The construction of new convenience stores such as the new 7 Eleven and Lucky’s Food Store made after school and after practice snacks easily accessible. The Midlothian “motor mile’’ added four to six new dealerships this year — providing jobs as well as new cars to Midlo students. Business parks and professional offices attracted doctors, dentists, lawyers, and businessmen. Certainly Midlothian’s commercial community was and is a major factor in furthering Chesterfield County’s reputation as one of the fastest growing counties on the East Coast. Midlothian itself emerged as a major cosmopolitan commerce center. | L ee IN SYCAMORE ‘ W i ORKING AT THE SOCIAL SQUARE, Stuffy’s sand- GATHERING PLACE FOR wich shop is a great place for MIDLO MOTHERS, bag boy Midlo students to grab a healthy Todd Squire moves fertilizer as a fast-food meal. part of his Ukrops job.

overpowered all other impressions of the year. After all, high school was a time of evolution and change. Everyone and everything constantly made the adjustments to those changes. The building itself had stretched its size to cover at least a half-a-mile from one parking lot to another. Freshmen stretched in high school to their finish. Attitudes and values had been nurtured to fit the demands of a changing world. The greatest growth, of course, came in intelligence. Four years of 6 classes a day demanded it. Growth in 1987 was measured in many ways. Expansion sur- faced in everything.

In the eyes of Midlo students, parents, and facul- ty, the school and everything it represented received an ‘‘A” not only for effort but also for achievement. So, from opening to closing, growing changed from a present to past participle for students in 87. They had GROWN maturity, intelligence, size, and indepen- dence. Midlothian students left the 1987 school year with a sense of fulfillment. Be- hind them was a year of growth, but ahead of them was the possibility for endless ex- pansion.

Editors Note Throughout our 4 years at Midlothian, Yearbooks were a major source of memories for us. Whenever we needed to know a teacher or administra- tor or see a face that was new to us we went directly to the yearbook. We hope that the '87 Trojan will do just that for everyone who reads it. We have represented those times in Midlothians year of “growth” in ways we hoped would be most memorable to all those who were a part of Midlothian in 1986-87. This yearbook would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of our staff. They put up with our nagging and a lot of yelling and criticism, especially around deadline time. Thanks to all of you for tolerating us. Scott Bezjak, photography coordina- tor, you have put up with a lot — We love and thank you! And KazZaan you can churn out artwork at the drop of a hat — Thanks! A special thanks goes to the faculty and administration for their help and understanding throughout the year.
