After school till late Then back by eight After school till late then back by eight describes a typical weekly schedule of a yearbook member. Since legends hold that a yearbook is just simply a quick “snap, cut, paste picture’ job, nobody really explores the truth behind the leg- end. A yearbook staff must capture and illuminate the memorable events of the school year. To do so, requires immea- surable hours by the selected staff. Deadlines! Meeting them can be haz- ardous to one’s health. For the Legend staff, the pressure mounts continuously through the year to meet deadlines. At the end of the year, the staff and editor Youth Advisory Committee: FRONT ROW: Mrs. Barbara Blankenship (Sponsor), Kelley Tilley (Trea- surer), Tori Melendy, Frieda Bass (Secretary); BACK ROW: Kevin Heine (President), Walt Williams, Diane Wilson (Vice-President), Lee Hyden. What do you think? In a meeting of the YAC Club, Lee Hyden samples a newly introduced food while other club members wait for her reaction. 192 Legend Arrow YAC worked frantically to meet one last dead- line before easing into summer vacation. One welcome respite during the year came from a fall weekend spent at the University of Virginia. The yearbook work- shop held there gave the staff many new ideas. Despite all the hours each member must devote to the production of the Leg- end, the staff agrees that the experience gained is invaluable. Step right up. Students wait patiently in line for their first Monacan annual while others take part in the yearbook signing party in the commons.

From amateur to pro, Many talents displayed The Great Radio Show was aired as the theme of the 1981 talent show. The sec- ond annual talent show held on Friday, February 27 was a true success. Troy Pe- ple simulated Bob Hope with his jokes as the master of ceremonies for the first half of the show, followed by Anne Driscoll and Kevin Jones who filled this role after intermission. A highlight of the evening was a Surprise visit from ‘‘Carol Burnett”’ (known to students as Mrs. Sally Sou- thall.) She sang ‘‘Hello Again.’’ Other per- forming teachers were Mr. Dwight Gra- ham who sang ‘‘Even Now,”’ and Mr. Bill Broaddus who warbled ‘‘As Time Goes By.’’ Miss Joy Connors drew applause for her modern dance. The major attractions were the perfor- mances of the many talented Monacan students, both amateur and professional. An amusing skit was a take-off of ‘‘The Twelve Twelve Days of Christmas”’ enti- tled ‘The Twelve Years of School.”’ It en- abled many kids a chance to demonstrate hidden talent. Chiefs Announcing and Broadcasting Staff: FRONT ROW: Troy Peple, Donna Foltz (Secretary), Joey Cooper, Tommy Woo, Suzy Sulzbach, Andy Adams, Joan McEwen; SECOND ROW: Sean Farley, 194 CABS Drama Lighting Jay Clayton, who swept the Keys with an original composition, was judged win- ner in the amateur competition. Placing second were the robot-type dance team of Neal Jackson and Terence Johnson. Their routine was enhanced by special effect lighting which they themselves de- signed. Southbound earned third place by exciting the crowd to madness with a sud- den flash of light concurrent with the drum rolling finish to Led Zeppelin’s ‘‘Rock and Roll.”’ Attired in long-johns, Tucker Wright strummed his guitar and chanted an origi- nal ballad based on one of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. His strumming and singing merited first place in the profes- sional participants group. What a shame Hollywood talent scouts were not present, since many of our per- formers would be treasures to show biz! Schick chic legs. During the talent show, Mary Ker- nich participates in ‘‘The Twelve Years of School”’ skit.
