The ability of students to excel in many areas, such as atletics and academics, makes Monacan ex- The Elements of A Successful School The elements of an ideal school are manifold. Among those most desirable are a strong academic program, a respected administration, a qualified faculty, and a di- verse extracurricular pro- gram. However, a definite difference exists between a functional school and an ideal school. If all the afore- mentioned elements are present, yet present with- out an underlying tone of | brotherhood or unified spir- it, then the operation seems to be lacking. In an ideal en- vironment, such as that of Monacan, the harmonious blending of each separate part with the others proves _ to be the necessary link. In such an institution, all the elements together are re- sponsible for making it work. By considering each part of our special school, the dynamic uniqueness evident in the success of the school as a whole is a fusion of separate parts to make a thriving whole work in such an exceptional way. At the core of the suc- cess of Monacan is its rig- orous and challenging aca- demic program. Proving that amity, rather than con- flict, makes Monacan work, the good relations among the various scholastic de- partments have resulted in an intelligent and chal- lenged student body. A stu- dent who can feel at home in both the English and the mathematics department, for instance, can develop seemingly very diverse skills, resulting in a well rounded individual. When a physical education teacher can admire a history teach- er, and vice versa, the mu- tual respect can be im- pressed upon their stu- dents, furthering the complete development of that person. Finally, when each department in a school is all-encompassing, progressive, and challeng- ing, the products of such an environment are of the high- est quality. Certainly, aca- demics are a large part of what makes Monacan work. Also helping to make Monacan work are the re- sponsible administrators and the highly qualified fac- ulty. Without a strong ad- ministration and a caring faculty, the remaining ele- ments of a successful school would be superflu- ous. At Monacan, the staff not only is highly qualified and hard-working, but it is also helpful and diverse. Principal, Larry Elliott has expressed his opinion of the importance of communi- cation. As long as the lines are open, he has said, any- thing can be worked out. Perhaps this is a big factor in the way that the faculty and administration at Mona- can make it work. contd on pg. 4 Opening '83-'84 3 ied , Monacan works. iversi dual.

The knowledge, the concern, and the amity of the faculty and administra- tion combine with the other excellent aspects of Mona- can to ‘‘Make It Work.”’ Dedication to the devel- opment of happy, well- rounded students is at the core of Monacan’s diversi- fied and comprehensive ex- tra-curricular program. From devoted sports teams to magnanimous ser- vice organizations to de- manding honor societies, the foundation of extracurri- cular activities enhances the academic tradition and the exceptional staff to make Monacan work. By providing supplements to classroom study, organiza- tions such as the language clubs, the yearbook staff, and the forensics and de- bate teams afford Monacan students the opportunities to broaden their knowledge and experience in an enter- taining and beneficial way. When these students also are encouraged to meet the rigorous requests of a lan- guage or National Honor Society, the mind is made even stronger. Finally, if this student has a gift such as theatrical talent or athle- tic ability, he or she can also develop that range. The result is the method in which the extracurricular program makes Monacan work — the emergence of a well-rounded, happy, and successful student. Of course, this is not all there is to an ideal aca- demic environment. Behind each major area are humer- ous, essential factors in the success of the Monacan environment. Academic programs need planning and supplemental material, faculties and administra- tions need workers other than themselves. Plays need stage crews as well as actors; sports teams need managers as well as athletes. The intricacies of a school that work are in- dispensable, yet often over- looked. Supportive back- ground figures definitely help make Monacan work. In conclusion, the suc- cessful fusion of the ex- tremely strong areas of Monacan is what makes it work. The productive coex- istence of academics, staff, extracurriculars, and be- hind the scenes elements create not only a functional but also an ideal environ- ment. Everyone involved in the working of the school can be credited for the pos- session of the attributes that make Monacan work. Beautiful Music.

Students find fun as well as challenge at a successful school. Opening '83-'84 5 o4 $s een Lit ue Nothing provides more contrasts than the life of a student. From one minute to the next, attitudes change from excited to bored, from joyful to sorrowful, from carefree to serious. Academics, social events, extracurricular activities, hobbies, athletics and relationships with others, be they friends, families, or teachers, all enter into the life of a student. Without these diverse aspects of life, a student would not be the special kind of person that makes Monacan work. The academic year 1983-84 saw, once again, the typically busy, bothered, and active Monacan student. Adopting the anxiety of their teachers, students nervously awaited the arrival of the dreaded visiting committee. With the committee came the first of the excellent drama productions of the year. Worries aside, everyone enjoyed the festivities of activities such as Home- coming and the State Fair. The holidays brought cheer and anticipation of winter break. Combined, all the events kept Monacan’s inhabitants enjoying their student life. When the 1983-84 school year is reflected upon in the future years, the students of the time will fondly recall the happiness and the excitement. The lessons learned from the trials and anxieties will finally be appreciated. In all, a sense of accomplishment will prevail due to the fact of being one of the unique students who make Monacan work. Waving Hands.

Everyone seems to be filled with joy and excite- ment of what this Christmas holds in store for them. A lot of Monacan students get jobs at nearby malls and all around town for extra money. It is a time where giving is as much Santa’s Helper. Teachers show their Christmas spirit by dressing for the season, as Mr. George has done. fun as receiving, if not more. Teachers as well as students anticipate the long break from school and seem to have an extra sparkle in their eyes. There were many different projects this Christmas at Monacan to help give needy families a more memorable Story Time. Bringing a tear to every- one’s eye, Beth Otte tells a Christmas tale of Barrington Bunny during the Christmas program. Christmas. One tradition at Monacan is the WRVA Shoe Fund sponsored by Mr. Bill Broaddus. Over $300.00 was raised in order to purchase shoes for people who could not even afford one pair. Mr. Broaddus would jump from ta- ble to table at lunch and ask for donations. Everyone dug down in their pockets after hearing the speeches inspir- ing speeches as the ones he gave. During the Christmas assembly all the boxes of canned goods which were col- lected earlier were put in front of the stage. Every homeroom was able to fill up at least one box and the seniors were able to collect a considerable amount of money for needy families. At the Christmas as- sembly, the mixed Chorus sang and the Concert Band played all of our Christmas fa- vorite. Any Scrooge — who entered the assembly with a frown left with a smile on his face. Another club that brought Christmas cheer to needy families was Future Business Leaders of America. They adopted a mother and three young children. All the mem- bers brought presents for ei- ther a child, or the mother and at the Christmas social they wrapped the presents. The French Club also shared their Christmas cheer. The mem- bers made cards and then went to Johnston-Willis Hospi- tal one evening and gave out the cards to patients while Christmas Caroling in the halls. Christmas at Monacan in 1983 was very memorable to more than just the students. We like to think that we shared our Christmas cheer with oth- ers and made many needy families happier on Christmas day. Party Time. The clubs meet during the holidays to celebrate.

Who would win the game? Who would be Homecoming Queen? Who would attend the dance? These were common ques- tions asked by all students. Homecoming was evident a week before the night of the game ever arrived. Spirit week began the Monday before the game. This year the first day of spirit week saw everyone dressed to the theme of West- A Hayride To Success. Some of our seniors, riding on their float have an early hayride to success; in only a short time the football team will have their success. ern Day; a casual atmosphere suitable for a Monday. Tues- day was Clash Day; the fresh- men were especially fond of this day. Wednesday, the fa- vorite day of the students, w as the everpopular Beach Day. This was a welcome reminder of the past summer and a hap- py indication of the summer to come. The teachers seemed to get a kick out of 50’s Day on Thursday; all they had to do was look in the back of their closet and pull out an old poo- dle skirt or a pair of high water pants. On Friday, everyone got to show their spirit be wearing orange, and brown, although some students used this day as ‘‘Grateful Dead Day’’ in recognition of the con- cert on Saturday. However you dressed, you ended up at the Pep Rally cheering the Chiefs to victory! This proved to be one of the most successful pep rallies of the year, not only did everyone yell and scream and have a good time, but the A Typical Pep Rally.

Yet another aspect of Homecoming was apparent during spirit week, with all the clubs and organizations busy- ing themselves to produce the best float.

Another Homecoming tradi- tion was joyously continued at halftime when Monacan’s Homecoming Court was an- nounced and Krista Mead was crowned 1983 Homecoming Queen. Krista led a beaming and beautiful court. The prin- cesses were as follows: fresh- men Kristen Mead and Heidi Shiner; sophomores Jill Cam- den and Kelley Melendy; ju- niors Karen Gorman and Leslie Belsha; and seniors Kristen King of the Sea.

As they walked onto the field at halftime, accompanied by their fathers, the happy girls epitomized the beauty of Monacan’s Homecoming tradi- tion. After the game the returning class of 1983 attended the Yearbook signing party to re- ceive their yearbooks, and to visit with their old school- mates. Some returned the next night to accompany their dates to the Homecoming Dance. Refreshments were served while the band, with no name, played. This Homecom- ing was an exciting time for the sweet reminder of the past four years at Monacan for the returning class of 1983. Dual Role.

Add, if you will, color — not just a little color, but a kaleidoscope of orange, ' brown, and white. Pretend that this color comes from decora- tions — streamers, banners, and balloons. After you have decorated the gym, place people in it. First, picture a football team and their dedi- cated coaches. Next, put cheerleaders, Monacettes, Color Guard members, and Majorettes on the gym floor. You're almost finished now, | just add a marching band and ' a crowd of enthusiastic stu- dents. What? Oh, yes — you need sound. Okay, open your ears to cheers, music, and fer- vent noise from the stands. Need you ask what you've cr e- ated? Why — you've pictured a pep rally. In essence, the above is a description of a pep ralley. However, to be a Monacan pep rally, the scene must be given some detail. Streamers and banners carry messages ranging from ‘‘Jiving Juniors,”’ in reference to classes, to “Cage the Tigers,’’ in refer- ence to the opposition, to ‘““Company’s Coming” in refer- ence to the visiting committee. The football team is a group of strong, dedicated young men that this year offered the ser- vices of two of its talented members. Orlando Alston and Charles Jackson needed only the opening strains of ‘‘Frea- kazoids’’ to cause them to break into their entertaining dance routines. The cheer- leaders lead the crowds in chants of ‘‘We are number one’ and persuade a chosen few to participate in contests between the classes. A memorable activity from the cheerleaders involved the girls dressed in the favorite night wear of the football play- ers. Lisa Walton displayed herself in cowboy boots, box- ing shorts, a Dead t-shirt, and Pep Fever. On their toes and jiv’n down, Charles Jackson and Orlando Austin get down to serious stuff. Fire up people! School mascot, Sta- cey Allen, tries hard to tempt the crowd with a shower of candies and goodies. lollypops. The marching band provides the familiar sounds of the Fight Song or while the crowds, the crowning element of a pep rally, cheer their team, their class, and their school. There you have it — the col- ors, the sounds, the sights, of a pep rally. The final element, that which makes this one solely Monacan’s, follows nat- urally from the presence of the unique Chiefs. This element is the spirit, the enthusiasm of the school of the special stu- dents at Monacan High School. Death to Gumby? The crowd seems full of Monacan spirit. Monacan Pep Rallies are one of those places where you can go wild and get crazy, just as long as you cheer for the right section. Pep Rallies 15 Thoreau Speaks. Playing Henry Da- vid Thoreau in Teach Your Children Well, Patrick Williamson speaks to John Petzold. 16 Teach Your Children Well Polished Play Before the rest of Monacan was in an upheaval over the arrival of the Visiting Commit- tee in October, the Advanced Drama Class and Chamber En- semble were already prepar- ing their production of Teach Your Children Well, for the upcoming visit. The show was built as ‘‘a musical and dra- matic entertainment’’ contain- ing scenes from five major plays and songs pertaining to education. Work on the show actually began with final exams last years, which were considered auditions. The cast was post- ed on the first day of school, and work immediately began. Hours were spent by the cast and director, Dennis Hood, try- ing to find a way to make the songs and scenes flow. In the end, Teach Your Chil- dren Well turned out to be one of the most polished and en- joyable productions ever put on by the Act | Company. Nar- rated by Krista Meade and Joe Skora, the show followed education through history, be- ginning with Patrick William- son playing Henry David Tho- reau in “‘The Night Thoreau Spent In Jail.’”’ It went forward through time to a modern-day classroom in ‘“‘Up The Down Staircase’’ in which Leslie Jones attempted to control rowdy students on her first day of teaching. In between were more scenes from the drama classes and excellent singing from the Chamber Ensemble, including a solo by Susan Mariner. The entire show was brought into perspective at the end with a monologue from ‘““Miss Margarida’s Way”’ per- formed by Susan Hoke. Her outstanding performance showed the Visiting Commit- tee that we all should, indeed, teach our children well. As Su- san stressed ‘‘Miss Margarida will always be with you,’ as will education, complete with its joys and frustrations. ae a A Letter For the Class.

This year however, we were fortunate in the rain department. Many Monacan | students who attended the fair ‘thought that this years pro- duction was the best ever. For only $6.95 fairgoers could park, enter, and entertain themselves from 8 am to mid- night. This years theme, ‘‘We have it made in Virginia’ high- lighted the numerous products made in Virginia. Everything from tobacco and peanuts to crafts and antiques were re- presented. There was some- thing for everyone. For the homemakers and farmers, State Fai contests were held for the best food and livestock. There were more than 81 rides and shows for fair-goers to try out, one of the most interesting be- ing the Q-94 Time Machine. There were thousands of songs playing, and cameras flashing everything from Mo- town to the Stones, the Doors, and Zeppelin. Probably the most impressive sights to see were the inflatable 8 story high King Kong and the 5 story high Budweiser 6-pack audito- rium. The tremendous turn-out of 600,000 people reflected the success of the fair, even though many left with empty pocketbooks due to the games played and the food eaten. ¢ ot Yi State Fair 19 House Guests for a Week The preparation for their visit lasted for a year; they stayed only four days. On Tuesday, October 18, the Vis- iting Committee was greeted at the doors of Monacan High School, and over twelve months of hard work was ready to be evaluated. The first day at school, the Com- mittee was treated to a tour of the building and grounds and to a performance by the Dra- ma Society entitled Teach Your Children Well. On the following day, Wednesday, the members divided them- selves into groups and met their designated committees in order to discuss different aspects of Monacan’s cCurricu- lum and facilities. During the third day, the group continued their committee meetings and classroom visitation. As their stay drew to aclose, the Visit- ing Committee, on Friday, pre- sented their report to the fac- ulty. Their visit was part of the procedure for accreditation by the Virginia Association of Schools and Colleges. For the year previous to their arrival, Monacan’s faculty and admin- istration had been meeting in designated groups as part ofa self-study; they attempted to discern both the schools weaknesses and strengths. The purpose of the ‘‘V.C.”’, as it was Commonly known, then, was to review this self-study and to make both recommen- dations and commendations on the faculty’s work. When the last Committee member left Monacan on Fri- day, October 21, a great sigh of relief was breathed. The work had not been in vain, The Verdict is: Monacans in tip top condition. The weeks of preparation and anticipation were rewarded with a fine report from the Visiting Commit- tee. 20 Visiting Committee Which one doesn’t Belong?

Though un- impressive in appearance, this struc- ture represents the culmination of a year of intensive introsp ection by Monacan faculty and staff. Upon com- pletion, everyone involved was enti- tled to a feeling of relief and accom- plishment. ee Class Continues as usual: Even though there’s an extra presence in this classroom, watching and studying everything the teacher and students do, class goes on as usual.

Work began immediately after Teach Your Children Well closed. Although the play revolves around three plots, director Dennis Hood chose to portray only that which involved the two pairs of lovers, played by John Petzold and Sandra Clay and Patrick Williamson and King Of the Jungle: She’s not the most courageous lion in the world, the Theresa Binns portrays this cowardly lion with a smile. Two Lovers on The Run: The two lovers in the play have escaped into the woods to be alone and to be to- gether. No He’s Mine!!!

Another amusing part of the play involved a group of Rus- ticks, or local rednecks, who attempt to put on a play of their own invention for the soon-to-be-wed lovers. Al- though written by Shake- speare, this section comes across as a farce of Elizabe- than play-writing. This section was included as a way to make the audience laugh, and it seemed to do its job. Allin all, the play was count- ed as a success. Outstanding performances were put in by Susan Hoke, Queen Hippoyta; Jim Cummings, King Theseus; Bill Auchmoedy, Theseus, and Beth Pope, Stacey Allen, Tami Richardson, Theresa Binns, and Beth Otte for their parts in the Rusticks.

From The Shadows Comes Talent To Be Remembered Monacan’s Fifth Annual Tal- ent Show took place on Satur- day, February 25 at 7:30 p.m. in the theatre. This was a show to be remembered. It was entitled From the Shad- Ows and featured two exciting bands — The Edicats and The Law. Glittering dance perfor- mances by Teresa and Maria Dressed to Kill: Susan Mariner sings the theme song from Flash Dance in this year’s Talent Show. Binns and Charles Jackson and Orlando Allston were both great crowd pleasers. Some of Monacan’s well known stage talents presented acts, including Susan Mariner; Beth Butler; and the trio of Chris Grantier, Michelle McBride, and Beth Parker. Darren Otero played his heart out on his composition for piano — Dat Dere. Carolyn Adams and Kel- ley Ruth both gave beautiful solo performances as song- sters. Alumni Bob Jennings and Frank Coleman thrilled the audience with two songs, Nor- wegian Wood and Moon- dance. The four part harmony quartet, the Sweet Adelines, performed brilliantly once again as they have in all of the past talent shows. From the Shadows differed in many respects from those talent shows of the past. One of the biggest differences was the use of special lighting ef- fects instead of sets. Many different techniques were em- ployed in the show’s produc- tion, including strobe light ef- fects, colored lights, and cast crystal ball reflections. Each lighting technique was used to present a mood to go with the performance. A second difference was the process used to select performers. Each act planning to be in the sh ow was required to perform twice before get- ting a nod that they were in the show. This process helped to give all the performers audi- tioning at least two chances to present their act and to im- prove. It also helped to keep the show of an enjoyable length. A third great difference was the increased amount of prize money, — a great goal for those performing. First place winners claimed $50.00, and second place winners were awarded $25.00, with third place taking $15.00. At the end of the evening the four judges handed the enve- lope, containing the names of the winners, to emcee Angela Pickles. Third place winner was Darren Otero. Second place recipients were Charles Jackson and Orlando Allston. The first place winner was the talented band known as THE LAW, consisting of members Sam Mustafa, Chris Doyle, Tom Patch, and Harrison Dean. Sliding Across The Floor: Winning second place in this year’s Talent Show was Charles Jackson and Or- lando Allston’s famous dancing. From The Shadows 25 26 Readers Theatre An Evening of Storytelling Brims with Professionalism What is a multiple? How does one person act out a sto- ry with many characters? Can one merely utilize the voice in a dramatic interpretation or are body movements accept- able? These are a few of the questions that Monacan’s speech students and foren- sics team tried to answer with the March production of ‘An Evening Of Reader’s Theatre’”’ the evening’s entertainment was, overall, outstanding and brimmed with professionalism. All acts, both group and indi- vidual, deserve mention along with the “‘behind the scenes”’ lightmen and setting design- ers. The multiple acts, groups of five to ten persons presenting a central theme through a col- lection of poems, stories and songs, were written and di- rected by the students. Themes included nuclear war, runaways, and handicapped people. The multiple ‘‘Born Losers’’ lent comic relief be- tween the more serious groups and was extremely well received. The final multi- ple, ‘‘Moonshadows,”’ proved itself deserving of the many out of state honors which it has received this year. All of the multiple participants were unerringly professional and the hard work and long hours of practice put into their acts was evident. The individual and duo acts were also impressive. On the humorous side Chris Hughes’ Who Are You? Portraying two elderly people, Laura Leesburg and Richard Corbett bicker back and forth about who they are and who they think the other is. ‘Playground’ and Richard Corbett and Laura Leesburg’s “I’m Herbert’? were both suc- cessful and evoked waves of laughter. More serious sub- jects included Patrick William- son's ‘“‘Runaways”’ and Rich- ard Corbett’s. ‘‘In Cold Blood”’ Laurie Maxwell’s storytelling brought down the house. Her interpretation of children’s ac- tions as well as her voice changes were uncanny. The lights were very effec- tive at producing a variety of moods. Special effects such as stars and skulls added much to the performance. The set, a random array of white blocks and platforms, added concretness without distract- ing the audience’s attention from the acts. As a whole, the Reader’s Theatre was a great success. The work put into the total product was evident in the poise and confidence that all performers displayed. View- ing the unique talents of these Monacan students left the au- dience looking forward to a re- peat performance next year. However, the 1984 production will be a tough act to follow. Bringing It All Together. Hard work and long practices led to outstanding multiples in the Reader’s Theatre. We’re Nobodies. Lending some com- ic relief to some of the more serious multiples, the ‘‘Born Losers’ make the audience laugh. No More War!! Of the more serious multiples was a discussion of war. The students shout their cries of opposi- tion to nuclear war. Readers Theatre Classic Tale Continuing the Act | Com- pany’s reputation for excel- lence, Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta H.M.S. Pinafore, was presented May 10, 11, and 12. It was a story of a lad, Rackstraw (played by Scott Bew) who loved a lady (Susan Mariner) who is much above his station. It is a classic tale of mixed up babies, social snobberies, and of course, a happy ending. Visually, this play was pos- sibly the most exciting in Mon- acan’s history. The elaborate and colorful costumes of both the leads and the chorus, not to mention the choreography, done by Bernard Toliver, made the play a joy to watch. Excel- lent performances were put in by Seniors Jim Cummings, Scott Bew, Todd Withers, Mary Renstorf, Susan Mariner and juniors Beth Parker, each of whom delighted the audi- ence with witty, and often hi- larious Characterizations. Credit must also be given to the crews that worked so hard to make H.M.S. Pinafore a success. Upholding the ideals of the Theatre Society, they did everything from applying make-up to hammering nails to lighting the set. Also, expec- tedly, Mr. Dennis Hood and Mr. Dwight Graham dovoted their time and talents to staging a superlative production by unit- ing the drama and the choral departments. Once again, the stage in the Monacan theatre was the site of an entertaining, first-class musical. The theatrical talent at Monacan joined forces to present an example of the tal- ent and teamwork that makes Monacan work. 28 H.M.S. Pinafore aptain And Daughter.

Six groups competed for the $200 first place prize ina contest that ended with the smallest margin of victory. in the four year history of the competition. For three and one half hours the battle raged between bands vying for top honors. When it was all over, ‘‘Chaos”’ narrowly beat out ‘‘Skid Row’”’ to emerge victorous with their brand of heavy metal and hard rock. ‘‘Skid Row”’ thrilled and excited the crowd with a vari- ety of music ranging from Led Zeppelin to the Who, and earned $125 for the evening. “Rude Awakening” captured the third place $50 prize. They scored many points for their highly original set — a living A Battle of Words and Music room complete with rocking chair, reading lamps, televi- sions, and a family pet (Fang, the stuffed tiger). ‘“‘Zader’, ‘‘Shatterproof’’, and ‘‘Special FX’’ rounded out the competitors with a blend of music by such bands as Rush, Van Halen, Duran Duran, and others.

American Marines had a frolic through the tropical island of Grenada, using for the most part fiteen year old tourist maps as navigation aids. The ini- tial invasion came under attack (figura- tively speaking) by both allies and adver- saries who questioned the official expla- nation that American students were endangered by the chaos of revolution which threatened to bring an openly pro- Soviet government to power. After over- coming opposition from Cuban airport construction workers, whose shovels seemed to work surprisingly like subma- chine guns, the Marines began to rid the island of large caches of eastern block arms. The interim government is now drawing large amounts of aid from Ameri- can tax payers, and the airport is sched- uled to open soon for tourists (maybe Seniors on beach week?). Additionally, the United States contin- ued to play a somewhat paradoxidal role on the Central American mainland. In El Salvador, the U.S. continued to support the establishment against Sandinista rebels. The small tropical nation had elections, as of late, with the apparent victor, Jose Duarte, following the exam- ple of his supporters in the U.S. adminis- tration by promising to set up a presiden- tial commission to investigate death squads and rebes grievances. Both El Salvador and neighboring Honduras were sites for countless congressional ‘‘fact finding’’ (ie. vacation trips). On the other hand, the contras of Nica- ragua were the recipients of American aid, help which for some strange reason is referred to as ‘‘covert.’”’ ‘“‘Covert’’ aid was a political battlefront between Con- gress and President Reagan, with issues 32 Current Events the year in review such as summer jobs for teenagers, being used to try and sneak through Central American funds. The U.S. shocked the world when it was revealed that the CIA was in the process of mining Nicaraguan harbors. Although Secretary of State Schultz met with Nicaraguan leaders in the spring, relations still remained ex- tremely strained as summer neared. While in El Salvador and Nicaragua are embroiled in a civil war, other countries in Central and South America face a more gradual and less noticeable problem: the debts they owe western banks are so large as to endanger the stability of the banking system in the U.S. and Europe. Soviets abandoned the negotiations de- signed to regulate medium range mis- siles. Then, on the morning of September 1, word reached the U.S. that a Korean airlines jet, KAL 007 had been shot down by Soviet fighters over the military com- plex on Sakhalin island. Two hundred and sixty-nine persons, including a U.S. Con- gressman, were killed in the crash, which brought instant condemnation from the United States. However, as time passed, more details of U.S. activity in the area were revealed. An American surveillance plane was acknowledged to have been in the area, and while the Soviets remained quiet, the administration produced heav- ily doctored tapes to ‘‘prove’’ that the Haitzinger Oberdesterreichische Nachrichten Linz A shot heard Worldwide Much that happened in the last year had to do with East-West relations. In the fall, a continuing crumble of U.S.-Soviet ties involved the placement of new U.S. missiles in Europe, following which the Soviets had fired no warning shots. Only later was it reavealed that the real tapes confirmed the warning theory. While the Soviet explanation proved ludicrous, the fact-filled fight recorder was (big sur- prise) never found, so the truth may never be known. The incident allowed Reagan to push funding for the MX missile, chemi- cal and nerve gas production through Congress while the European peace movement suffered a death blow. How op: | portune. Premiere Andropov’s ‘‘cold’’ of late! summer turned into a kidney ailment from which he died in February. Konstantin Ghernenko, equally fossilized at age sev- enty-two, took over apparent control of the Soviet bureaucracy, but power seems to have been more distributed in case of future death. Soviet dissident Andrei Sakharov at- tracted attention from the world’s humani- tarian community as he hunger-fasted for ‘the safe passage of his wife to receive western medical aide. The Sakharov’s occasionally drop out of sight; one hopes ‘they don’t contract the same kind of cold as Andropov had. In a far more symbolic move, the Sovi- ets, in the spring, withdrew their team from the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Sitting security threats as a pri- mary reason for the boycott, the soviets probably wished to return the favor of the 1980 American boycott. While more teams than ever will be competing at L.A., the fourteen boycotting countries repre- sent the forefront of sports technology, greatly hurting the competition at the games. Stage is set for big race Ronald Reagan surprised virtually no one by declaring that he would run for re- election. Meanwhile, the Democratic pri- maries took their toll on the seven man field, with a rather unlikely trio emerging before the convention fight. Walter Mon- dale was the undisputed frontrunner after Glenn failed to make his expected im- pact. Following Glenn’s dropout, Mondale haters had Gary Hart (pence), a rather nonstellar candidate in the early part of the primary season, to whom they could turn. Finally, Jesse Jackson, the black minister who at times seemed to be America’s primary alm bussador to des- potic regimes, remained in the running through the help of mass black voter reg- istration even though he was quoted as making derogatory remarks about Jew- ish-Americans. Ah, such is the way of the Campaign. However, it appears unlikely that the Democrats will be able to weld their party back together to be able to take on Reagan, who at the moment is riding a wave of relative economic suc- cess and therefore public support. After all, while Fritz, Gary, and Jesse were fighting out the last primaries, Ron was either in China or on the beaches of Nor- mandy with other world leaders, trying to look ‘‘presidential.’’ Problems that never die Lebanon, following the trend of its long history, continued to be a mess. During the U.N. presence there, the Palestine Liberation Organization of Yassir Arafat was driven out, but the U.S. forces, faced with terrorist activity, bombings, and Donato Toronto Sun rocket attacks, were finally withdrawn in February, leaving a country divided and unsafe. In Israel, Prime Minister Begin re- signed his post in a surprisingly peaceful transfer of power. Libyan leader Quaddafi continued threats against world leaders, and the threat of conspiracy sent the place from a window if the British Libyan embassy. The diplomatic status of the killers was honored as the delegation was allowed to leave the country. Finally, the Iran-Iraq war continued, threatening oil traffic in the Strait of Hormuz as super- tankers came under attack from both sides.

These students are preparing for their future by learning the knowledge and skills needed to enter the world of work or continue their training in post-secondary in- Stitutions. Popular areas of training for Monacan students are Cos- metology, Auto Mechanics, Carpentry, Data Processing, Technical Drafting, Electron- ics, Food Service, Heating Air Conditioning, Auto Body Re- pair Painting, Horticulture, Welding, Nursing Assistant, Practical Nursing, Commercial Photography, Plumbing, and Printing. Most of the programs at the Tech Center require two years for completion. Stu- dents who successfully com- plete the program receive a “Certificate of Completion’’ and earn three credits per year towards high school graduation. Chesterfield Technical Cen- ter is unique among the schools of Chesterfield Coun- ty. Brought together to give students the greatest oppor- tunity for learning are the building and equipment that represents the industry for which students are training and a staff of teachers with experience in that industry. Business and industry contin- ues to advise the Tech Center staff to changes in the field through craft advisory com- mittees. Programs are contin- ually being updated so that students are trained with the skills that employers are seeking. Students who attend the Tech Center spend three hours in technical training and take two academic classes in their home sc hools. All county high schools participate in sending students to the Tech Center. Students may become in- volved in numerous activities that are available at the Tech Center that are related to their training. These include skill and leadership competition VICA, FBLA, FFA, and HOSA, tour guide, student speakers bureau, student safety com- mittee or the student advisory committee. In VICA District XIl Competition, Tony Sutton won 2nd place in Cabinetmaking and Mill work; Kathy Salinas, 2nd place in Cosmetology, An- drienna Bryant, 2nd place Cosmetology Model; Fred Mashburn, 3rd place in Indus- trial Electronics; Scott Grow, 2nd place in Machine Drafting and Larry Lester, 3rd place in Technical Illustration. Jennifer Stevens won 5th place in the State HOSA talent competi- tion.

With the help of Mr. Carloni, Robert George is able to bet- ter understand his computer problem. High school mathematics has recently received in- creased attention nationwide from a concerned public which considers it a top priority for the future success of Ameri- 'ca’s youth. The importance of _math is not overrated; nor is it ignored at Monacan. Guidance counselors press students into taking more advanced classes, following a progres- sion up to AP Calculus, which offers the opportunity of col- lege credit for work per- formed. Now, some of the less fore-sighted of our breed : might argue that the math re- a subjects are, in fact, ir- relevant and useless in mod- -ernlife. Admittedly, very few of us will be offered an all-ex- pense-paid trip to Cleveland by a stranger on the street if we Can just solve a quadradic equation; nor are we likely to eeniront a soft drink machine displaying a placard: ‘‘Insert : coin of cash value equivalent to the definite integral from zero to ten of the function x squared.’’ Although some math teachers may disagree, such everyday applications of higher mathematics are just not that common. However, math is an essential segment of today’s mushrooming engi- neering, scientific and com- puter fields and the logic and problem-solving skills demon- strated by a good math stu- dent are clues for an employer looking for creativity and de- termination. Calculus might not help you shovel grease at your local fast food establishment, but most bosses know that if an applicant has put up with inte- grals, related rates, and trigin- ometry long enough to gra- duate, he is more likely to ac- cept the challenge of too much work — too little pay with nary a grumble. The school’s math depart- ment supports well the entire sequence of mathematical learning, offering a niche for almost any want or need. Ba- sic Algebra, Geometry, Trigin- Math and Computers Indispensible ometry, Intermidiate Algebra, Math Analysis, and Calculus are included in course offer- ings. Of special interest is the newest addition to the Mona- can math family: a Special To- pics class has been created for interested seniors who have passed Pre-Calculus but choose not to take Advance Placement-oriented Calculus class. This is a prime example of how classes are altered or added in response to stu- dents’ needs. An important, heretofore un- mentioned, subset of the math department is the computer department. Using the school’s new Apple lles, stu- dents can take classes from basic computer skills to the new Pascal-oriented AP Com- puter class. This year’s AP students faced the problem that few colleges immediately grant credit for the Advanced Placement Test in computer science because this is the first year that it is offered. With any luck, this problem will be resolved and students as- piring to advanced learning will be given appropriate cred- it for their work. In addition to taking a separate computer class, students can choose to take basic computer work as part of their Algebra Il — Trig class. Finally, the computer department helps the student body by offering SAT prepara- tory classes aimed in improv- ing scores on College Board Tests. In today’s growing high-tech society, math is clearly an im- portant subject to learn. High schools such as ours are the important link to expanded math understanding, and with qualified teachers such as the ones in the mathematics de- partment, the future is as boundless as the interest of the student. So when you think math, don’t think irrelevant, think indispensible. Math and Computers 37 38 Science Department Taking A Peak.

Peering over his lab partner's shoulder, Raymond Keevins offers his assistance when it is need- ed. A Mental Challenge Someone realistic must have planned the schedule that placed AP Chemistry and AP Biology at the end of the school day. If not for this fact about one half of Monacan’s future doctors and engineers would be woefully unprepared for their profession's require- ments aS a consequence of not having completed at home questions, labs, reading, and studying. In fact, it can be said that these two classes alone take up more time during the first four periods of the day than just about any other duo of subjects. The lunch time that the advanced sciences use is alSo a prime contributor to the loss of revenue the cafeteria experiences on test days. Analysis of the infamous “lunch cram session’’ pro- vides a suitable explanation for the observed phenomena of greatly increased french-fry grease, catsup, and other similar food stain concentra- tions, in AP Biology and Chem- istry books. Certainly, these two classes deserve all the mystique given them. AP Biology is taught by Mrs. Margaret Jefferson. Under her guidance, students explore such diverse subjects as Mel- vin Calvin’s Cycle, fetal pig anatomy, and the sex life of the earthworm. In addition, Mrs. Susan Heath, AP Biolo- gy’s student teacher, led the class through the topics of en- ergy use, photosynthesis, and biochemistry in a manner that was mentally challenging but nonetheless academically humbling. Rumor has it that some students began to phos- phorylize spontaneously, with ADP going in one ear and ATP out the other. Following tests the halls of the school rang true with comments such as “But we never did that’ and ‘‘What was the enzyme in num- ber twenty seven?” Just as certainly came the answer, ‘“‘Everybody bombed out’’ along with the hopeful but in- credibly sarcastic “‘But the point system will take care of it,’ a phrase none too comfort- ing to a hapless scholar that only answered a third of the questions on the whole test. Chemistry is a far more ex- act and mathematically based subject than its biological counterpart. Mrs. Barbara Goehle presents her students with the opportunity to memo- rize boardfuls of mathematical equations, chemical reac- tions, constants named after everyone and his dog, and ad- ditional scientific hodgepodge all in an effort to predict the behavior of matter and energy. AP Chemists’ minds are daz- zled with a subject assortment from sigma and pi bonds in mo- lecular orbitals to related rate equations to the nomenclature of organic chemistry. And in the Spring, chemistry proves its inherent superiority to biol- ogy as the smell of hydrogen sulfide wafting through the halls soundly subdues the odor of fetal pig preserving flu- id. In short, AP chemistry and AP biology represent the pin- nacle of high school science achievement as other ad- vanced placement classes do in the humanities and the mathematics. The incentive of college credit drives some to these two rather difficult classes. But for the most part, people enroll to satisfy their curiousity about themselves, their world, and the universe around them. Science Department 39 A Cultural Experience.

The ultimate goal of a smoothly run school is the education of the stu- dents. What goes on in the classroom is the most impor- tant aspect of school life. Each department then has the responsibility to have the best course of study for the stu- dents. The English department in- troduces students to the lit- erature of worlds past. Stu- dents venture into the works of Shakespeare, including Ro- meo and Juliet, and Mac- beth. They read poems, epics, novels, and short stories by authors who attempt to cap- ture their world or feelings into words so they will be pre- served for the future. Besides reading literature, students undertake their own writing. Short stories, sonnets, and the dreaded term papers are required by many teachers. Term Papers are also part of another department — So- cial Studies. Geography takes students to Africa, Asia, and Australia. Geography stu- dents explore mountains, riv- ers, and oceans, learning their locations and about the peo- ple who live there. World His- tory, American History, and European History offer stu- dents an insight to history around the world and here in the U.S. Another aspect of the Social Studies department is the Sociology and Law courses offered as electives. The English and the Social Studies try to accomodate the students at Monacan. Elec- tives such as law and sociolo- gy are offered by the social studies department, and the English department offers such electives as speech. Be- sides electives, students who excel in these subjects are also offered AP courses. Chal- lenging students minds and preparing them for college, AP English and European History prove most beneficial. The wide range of topics discussed leaves the student with a vast amount of knowl- edge. The well run English and Social Studies departments give their students the impor- tant knowledge of past and continuing arts and cultures. By teaching well the English and Social Studies depart- ments help make Monacan work. LE Y )) MWA Humoring Her Class.

Aiming toward mak- ing Monacan students ‘‘citi- zens of the world”’ is the for- eign language department, headed by Mrs. Ann K. Dris- coll. Through the study of French, German, Latin, or Spanish, students become the well-rounded people that Mon- acan desires. Academically, students are required to study at least two years of one language, al- though many choose to com- plete as many as five years and or undertake classes in more than one language. In 1984, the department honored Kathryn Settle and Lisa Bar- nard in French, Wendi Pohlig in German, Karen Woo in Latin, and Hunter Applewhite in Spanish, as having exempli- fied the qualities admired in a — Usirig the tapes so familiar to foreign language students, Mrs. Carol Thomas makes a point with her French class. students of foreign languages and cultures. In extra-curricular activities, each language offers a lan- guage club that enables stu- dents to broaden their knowl- edge of the people and cul- tures about which they are studying. Each year students and teachers alike enjoy For- eign Language Week, the For- eign Language Taster’s Sup- per, the Honors Seminars that are offered to advanced for- eign language students and For You the Chesterfield County Fine Arts Festival, in which lan- guage students have tradition- ally taken part. Without a doubt, the For- eign Language Department helps to make Monacan work. This is accomplished through encouragement of intensive study and availability of activi- ties outside the classroom which enhances knowledge and interest. Excellence in academics breeds excellence at Monacan. Foreign Languages 43 - ee e ‘ mong) is a storm, Jim¥glio: Monacan High School has gained a reputation as the successful creator of a well- rounded student body. Mona- can’s music program is a large facet of the student life. It cov- ers many varied areas and of- fers something for every music lover. From the symphonic and concert bands to the jazz and percussion ensembles, band director Bill Buck leads many talented and dedicated stu- dents. In addition to the regu- lar concerts, Monacan’s var- ious bands attended their indi- 44 Band and Orchestra Bands With Talent And Dedignnae vidual band festivals where again this year their dedica- tion and hard work paid off with excellent ratings. This year the band had a new ex- perience when the Coventry High School Band from Con- necticut visited and joined with Monacan’s band to give a concert. Monacan’s bands then returned this visit when they went to Conn. May 3-6. They also gave a concert where Monacan’s own Jazz Band was featured. In addition to all of this, many individual band members took part in an- nual music events such as the All-County Band, which was held at Monacan this year, and the All-Regional Band. Mona- Can was proud to have good representation this year. Along with its traditional band program, Monacan dem- onstrated its ingenuity and Originality when Dwight Gra- ham, the Chorus director, started a Handbell Choir. This Choir has received tremen- dous praise in their exemplary efforts at the regular Chorus Concerts and the County- Wide Arts Festival. Their repu- tation gave them the chance to debut at one of Monacan’s Pep Rallies where they chimed a Dwight Graham original, the Monacan fight song with all the spirit of a Chief. Monacan High School’s mu- Sic program is filled with strong and dedicated stu- dents whose love for music is shown in each concert. With- out this music program, Mona- can could not boast of such SUCCESS in turning out the well- rounded students who gra- duate each year. Music Genius. Playing the keyboard Christmas Cheer.

This year started off with the ‘‘Monacan Quartet Plus Six.’”’ This group of guys from the Chamber En- semble sang at many school events including the football games, pep rallies, and even at lunches. The many moods capable of being conveyed by the chorus was demonstrated in the Christmas Concert, with songs ranging from the opera +, COS aa Se it Sy Ny Fy RE sak eee! Choir Of Angels. The ladies of the Monacan Chorus programs sing and look lovely at the Spring Chorus Con- cert 46 Chorus style of the Poloretzian Dance by Borodin, to many popular, traditional favorites of today. Monacan also had an excel- lent representation in the All- Regional Chorus this year in both the junior and the senior choruses. On March 17 all the Mona- can choruses went to Clover Hill to participate in the 1984 Festival. The Chamber En- semble, Girls Chorus, Mixed Chorus, and Combined Chorus competed with many schools from Chesterfield County and Surrounding areas. All the Monacan choirs received one or superior ratings in their per- formances. On April 3-8, the choruses, after raising over $3000, em- barked on a new encounter. They traveled on two Winn buses to Lake Buena Vista, Florida to compete in the Great Southern Choral Clas- Sic: To round out a great year, the choruses put on their an- WaeniincnnabeiniasisitmonTiiows nual Spring Concert. This in- cluded dance numbers by the mixed chorus, A West Side Story medley by the Chamber Ensemble, some oldies by the entire group that included songs from Fame, Pippin, and other favorites. In conclusion, special congratulations go to Mr. Christopher Todd With- ers and Miss Teresa Marie Binns both of whom were elected Most Outstanding Chorus Students. Join Together.

Chorus 47 Creativity Spurred By Knowledge Many students have found a refuge from the regular class- room procedures of memori- zation, papers, and daily notes by delivery into the arts. The Art Department features classes in photography and crafts as well as art classes ranging from Art | to Advanced Art. The photography classes study the different types of subject matter, ways to create interesting photographs, light- ing, and the different ways of creating photographic im- ages. Ms. Lynn Poulos teach- es all of Monacan’s photogra- phy classes. Monacan has its own dark room in which the students of the classes learn to develop their own film. When assignments are due it is not uncommon to see these picture-hungry students wan- dering the halls to find willing subjects to photograph. Students in crafts classes learn methods and techniques in such areas as basketry, weaving, metalworking and stitchery. Class members get to experiment and create with the skills they are taught. Beautiful baskets were cre- ated using grapevines and reeds. Those who worked with metals such as brass, copper, and pewter learned to safely use acids and blow torches to create jewelery and other small objects which were sold or kept and used by the own- ers. Students learned to weave using various types of looms and materials. The craftsman created scarves, shawls, and sweaters and oth- er useful articles. Stitchery was used in many different ways. Pillows, soft-sculpture, and wall hangings were often subjects of stitchery skills. The art classes are de- signed for enjoyment as well as betterment of skills in the visual arts. The Art | student is introduced to art and to many different components of a work of art. A first year Art stu- dent is shown just how many different ways of visual ex- pression are possible. Draw- ing and painting are only the tip of the iceberg for a first year art student. A second year art student delves deeper into the world of art. New techniques are in- troduced. Concepts are dis- cussed more in depth. Partici- pants are encouraged to learn more about art history and what is happening in modern art. The Advanced Art classes are for those students who have taken three, four, or five years of art. Students continue to work on improving their skills and techniques. Monacan has a fine art de- partment, which offers a wide range of classes. Mrs. Betty Brinser was recognized by her fellow teachers as an out- standing teacher. Also, the Chesterfield Fine Arts Festival gives the Art Department a chance to display its creativity and talent. In addition, this year the art students showed just what they could do by hav- ing art demonstrations during Virginia Art Week. Another opportunity to en- hance traditional classroom study by the Home Economics department. Students study cooking, sewing, home man- agement and anything else that deals with running a household efficiently. In the Home and Family Living course students learn about cooking, home management, and even how to plan and take part in a wedding. The Art and Home Econom- ics Departments feature classes in which students are encouraged to watch and then act. Not many written tests are given, but the real tests are given each day by the per- forming of what has been dem- onstrated and taught.

The game was close until the Seniors blew the game wide open in the final stanza to make the final score 63-43. The second game of the nights tripleheader saw the Freshman take on the Ju- niors. The Juniors almost lost a lead but held off the Fresh- man’s comeback try. The game finished with the Juniors winning 29-27 in the closest game of the night. The stage was set. The championship game between the Juniors and the Seniors finally became re- ality. The Seniors were in con- trol for most of the game when the Juniors made a last ditch effort but still came up short. The Seniors won the game 54- 47. The Seniors earned the right to play the faculty in front of a packed gym during school. The students were very partial toward the Sen- iors and let the refs know it time and time again during the game. The game see-sawed back and forth. The fourth quarter was going to decide this ball game. The faculty won the bruising game with clutch foul shooting at the end to make the final score bad guys 30 and Seniors 28. In Action.

As Seniors took over the roles of teachers, they quickly learned that teaching involves much more than writing on the board and issuing tardies. Before the actual class- room experience began, a great deal of planning and preparation was required. Teachers were sent letters which they returned if they de- sired to ‘‘hand over’’ the class period to a senior instructor. Next, interested Seniors were requested to sign up, listing the classes they preferred to teach. In the final step, teach- ers, classes, and students were matched together. Participating Seniors were required to meet at least twice with their teachers in order to make lesson plans and to pre- pare for the Teach Day. The day could not be wasted as Seniors were required to actu- ally and realistically teach in- formation pertinent to their subjects. In return for their hard work, participating Sen- iors were excused from the classes in the day (pending make-up work, of course). All things considered, Sen- ior Teach Day was a success for students and teachers who were offered a change of pace.

Senior Teach Day 53 Ny BAS What would a school be without active, interested students? The need to challenge and motivate students is essential to a successful school. By providing extracurricular activities to develop talent and to supplement academic interest, Monacan gives students outlets for curiosity and creativ- ity. From forensics to French, from art to drama, from business to photogra- phy, extra-curricular activities, by helping in the education of students, make Monacan work. The 1983-1984 school year saw extracurricular excellence. Two blood drives showed the generosity of Monacan’s charitable students, as did the Christmas time activities of the language clubs, who provided gifts for hospitalized children. Capturing prestigious titles, the still young forensics team proved an ideal showcase for chief talent. The drama productions also revealed the creativity of Monacan students. Both the service of organiza- tions such as the Student Council Association and the National Honor Society to the performance of groups such as debate and forensics, create a strong, broad extracurricular program. So, in observing the quality of Monacan, one must give credit to among many other factors, the extracurricular program. By developing talents and interest, the extracurricular activities make Monacan work. Flower of Success.

For example, President Reagan has built an entire National de- fense policy around the ideas of “‘might makes right’ and “there is strength in num- bers.’’ On the other hand, if the Monacan Yearbook staff staked its existence on the latter, you would not be read- ing this. It is definitely a small, yet dedicated staff that cre- ated this book about what makes Monacan work. So, it is only natural curiosity that would prompt one to examine what makes the yearbook staff work. 56 Yearbook Always Prepared.

Under the guidance of spon- sor Tom Tanton and Herff Jones representative Mike Smith, editor Jacqui Smith plays the role of both slave and slavedriver. The reason why her staff is so willing to bend to her iron fist is that she herself has signed away much of her senior year to the pro- duction of a yearbook worthy of the school it represents. Remember those beautiful spring afternoons, those long restful weekends, and those special social events? On the days that most Monacan stu- dents were frolicking, Jacqui was cropping pictures and do- ing layouts. With her, prob- ably, was Michael Halle. Even with a load of AP courses and a commitment to the track team, Michael devoted hours to the taking and developing of the pictures in this book. Not many people would cheerfully devote 8 hours at a stretch to a darkroom (at least not for picture development.) With the leadership of these two, the rest of the staff — Howard Estes, James Woo, Bonnie McDuffee, Maya Lear, Teresa Overacre, Courtney Swartz, Missy Meadows, Nancy McLean, Sissy Estes, and Chris Ockler — felt inspired it Work for everyone (and compelled) to do their part.

Size and Enthusiasm Equal Success The French Club, along with its sister the French Honor Society, can claim one of the largest memberships at Monacan High School. Because of not only it’s size, but also the enthusiasm of it’s members, the French club had a very productive year. Christmas was an especially busy time this year, not only within the Monacan building, but also outside in the communi- ty. French Students sold holiday-grams in order to earn money for a Christmas Party that was held with the other 3 langauge clubs. At the celebration, representatives from each club explained unique christ- mas customs of their respective coun- tries. Another holiday activity which spread the good will of the Monacan French club was an afternoon of Caroling at Johnston-Wollis Hospital. The students walked the halls singing in both French and English while handing out handmade 58 French Club Christmas cards. Regular meetings of the French Club were held twice a month and usually re- volved around a committment to a greater understanding of the French Culture. One Such meeting was a crepe party during which the students actually tried their hand at preparing this French delicacy. French folk songs were the focal point of another regular meeting. Meetings during February and March were devoted to preparing for Foreign language week at Monacan. Plans were made for the annual Taster’s Supper, al- ways a popular event during the school year. The French Club also sponsored a ‘cafe’ during the Fine Arts Festival as well as participating in many of the cultur- al exchange events held during this annu- al affair. On the academic side, French Club members also stood out. Representa- tives were sent to St. Christophers to par- ticipate in the national French contest. All of the students nominated placed well up in the standings proving the strength of the French program at Monacan. Another intellectually stimulating activity was the continuation of the Honors Seminars. These seminars were given every few months and drew not only Monacan lan- guage students, but also those from sur- rounding schools. The topics were extre- memly diverse, ranging from lectures on Inca jewelry to lessons in the Japanese language. This year definitely proved to be suc- cessful for the French Club not only in contributions to the school, but to the community as well. While participating in fun activities, students explored the var- ious facets of French language and cul- ture; therefore, gaining a better under- Standing of the ever-expanding world. pie ee bbbbbbadl Domestic Life.

Both the Spanish and German clubs en- joyed another successful year in 1983- 84. The German club, guided by President Adam Nan, Vice President Samantha Wil- helm, Treasurer Dan Anderson, Secretary Laura Leesburg, and Historian Robin Shaw, participated in a wide variety of activities. The club held a picnic at Rock- wood Park in the fall, giving the members a chance to sample German wurst. The club joined with the other languages in a cultural exchange at Christmas and the annual volleyball tournament in the fall, -which the German club won. Also, during ‘the Christmas season, members visited a local nursing home to sing carols and bring the Christmas spirit to the people staying there. In February, the club helda dinner at which more sophisticated dishes were served. A more ambitious undertaking was the student exchange involving eleven Mona- can students and eleven students from Cologne, Germany. The visitors from Co- logne stayed with Monacan families and attended school here throughout the month of April. In June, the Monacan stu- dents returned the visit, as they stayed in Cologne for three weeks. The trip pro- vided a unique insight into German life and Culture.

In December, members brought with them games and toys to be added to the hospital’s collection. Indi- vidual gifts and refreshments were also provided while the Latin Club members played games and talked with the pa- tients. During February’s visit, students helped the kids to make puppets and Val- entines for their parents. At Easter time, the club prepared baskets and paper bunnies for the children.

Winning a first place award was John Sprinkle, and win- ning a second place award was Ronny Waters. The Student Council Association, or the SCA, had a very busy 1983-1984 school year. Beginning before school re- opened, the club began looking for a band to play at the Homecoming Dance. That was only the first of many activities involv- ing the SCA. The council felt that one of the most important things that they had accomplished was the changing of the constitution to allow a better representa- tion of the student body. The Homecom- ing Dance did, in fact, go well. Also along the dance lines, they sponsored a ‘‘Sock Hop”’ for the first time in school history.

Also, over 1,00¢ food items were collected for the Christ mas Food Drive. The most generous homeroom won a 6-foot sub by donating 98 food items. About this time, a Christ: mas party was also held for kids at the Diagnostic Center, at which there was e magic demonstration given by Steve Lipscomb. The SCA also invited and presented Mr. Reggie Smith, who talked to the entire student body about proper school atti- tudes and motivation.

Breaking New Ground in an old sport The Forensic season began Septem- ber 6 with a two day tournament at Edison High School in Alexandria, Virginia. When they returned, the team decided to host their own invitational tournament. It took place on November 19 and was attended by twenty high schools from around the state. Three-hundred students competed in nine forensic events. A few records were set, including three first place awards to Patrick Williamson who triple entered the tournament. The next tourna- ment was the Chatlottesville High School Invitational where the forty-seven mem- ber team set a school record by winning eleven trophies. The team also won the sweepstakes trophy topping the twenty- four schools present. Monacan High School began a new event for Virginia forensics. The event is known as a Multiple Group Reading. The Reading consists of three to eight per- sons who convey a message from the printed page. The message concerns the handicapped and stresses the impor- tance of accepting people for what they can do and treating them as human be- ings. The Reading is a collection of songs, plays, and poems and its mem- bers include: Patrick Williamson, Doug Langston, Joe Skora, Pam Shirah, Beth Walleck, Kristen Hargrave, Krista Mead, and Susan Mariner. A second group was put together by Mr. Broaddus’ 4th period speech class. The two groups placed 1st and 2nd in the first competition. The group has performed for both the Monacan and Charlottesville Tournaments. Also, in the spring a Reader’s Theatre Night was held to show off the team and to demonstrate the Multiple Reading to their fellow stu- dents. On February 24, 25, and 26, the Mona- can Forensics Team traveled to Gatlin- burg, Tennessee to attend the Great Smoky Mountain Forensic Invitational. Within the team of fifty active members, twelve were selected to attend and com- pete. Nine states and sixty-one schools from Michigan to Florida entered this na- tionally prestigious tournament. Trophy winners were: Krista Mead — 2nd place in Oratory, Laurie Maxwell — 6th place in ADS (After Dinner Speaking) and Bo Arta- bazon — 5th place in poetry. The Triathon is an event in which a con- testant may receive an award for placing in three different individual events. Pat- rick Williamson received a 2nd place award in the triathon by placing 6th in a duo with Susan Hoke, 4th in oratory, and 3rd in poetry. Overall the Monacan Foren- sic team was awarded a 2nd place trophy for excellence in individual events.

The members of the new Group Reading troupe rehearse their script. Forensics 67 The power of persuasion at work Monacan’s belief in the development of well-rounded students is exemplified in its wide range of extra-curricular offer- ings. For example, a student who has in- terests in performing or public speaking has the opportunity to participate in ac- tivities such as the Theatre Society or the Debate Team. The success of both orga- nizations in the furthering of achievement by students helps, without a doubt, to make Monacan work. Although Monacan’s debates team is only two years old, it’s growth and ac- complishments are highly commendable. During the 1983-84 school year, under the guidance of sponsor Mr. Lamar Brandt, the team attended seven tourna- ments, placed team members in various speaking and argumentation competions eight times, and placed eighth in the state. Many members of the team felt that CS SS Practice makes perfect. Rehearsing presentations pays off in competition. 68 Debate the culmination of the year came at the Great Smokey Mountain Invitational De- bate and Forensic Tournament, at which the varsity team placed ninth, the affirma- tive half of the four-man team placed first, and the negative half of the fourmanteam placed fourth. Combined, the scores of the four-man team earned Monacan a first-place trophy; this accomplishment contributed to Monacan’s winning of the forensics and debate sweepstakes tro- phy. With continued growth and achieve- ment, the debate team experienced a successful year. With the unity of crew members and performers, Monacan’s Theatre Society boasts of an outstanding history of pro- jects. In 1983-84 the Society’s projects consisted of two productions, Teach Your Children and HMS Pinafore; the annual Talent Show; and a banquet for members. As an active member of the Theatre Soci- ety, a student can choose to participate on crews such as those of publicity, house, sound, or stage. Of course, many members choose to devote their time and talents to performing. Either way, a stu- dent has the opportunity to accumulate enough points to become a member of the International Thespian Society. Due to the Theatre Society Monacan is able to enjoy the arts in a professional and well- planned setting. Obviously, a student who wishes to be either in the spotlight or behind the scenes has special opportunities at Mon- acan. Through organizations such as de- bate and theatre, students develop poise and comarderie. Their accomplishments help to make Monacan work. Solo performance.

Debate 69 Justice At Home “Innocent until proven guilty’’ — our country’s legal system was founded on this principle. Contrary to popular belief, Monacan’s concept of justice is based on the same idea, and it is embodied in the Honor System. A student cannot be pro- nounced guilty of a violation of the Honor Code simply by the insistence of a teach- er. B oth teachers and students have an alternative to a private, emotional con- frontation — an impartial body of stu- dents — the Honor Court. Sponsored by Assistant principal Mrs. Donna Crane and consisting of three sen- iors and two students from each of the other classes, the court serves the pur- pose of offering a student a trial by his peers. After carefully considering testi- mony given by both the teacher and stu- dent, or students, involved, any witnesses they may wish to call, and any evidence submitted, the Court announced its deci- sion. As another guarantee of justice, the student has the right to appeal to a Facul- ty Board of Review. In spite of what is said at large, the Honor Court exists to fairly judge the guilt or innocence of students. Students may claim that no one is found innocent and some teachers may say that the Court is biased toward the students. However, the truth can be seen in the record of the Court and in the respect with which a ma- jority of the faculty and student body view it. The justice of the Honor Court helps make Monacan work. 70 Honor Court ee Honor Court: (front) Mary Ann James, Wendy Pohlig, Bonnie McDuffie, Belsha, Ann Baldwin, unid.

This left the 1983-84 Society with only 14 members. Despite this, however, the So- ciety successfully participated in the co- ordination of the College Night program and in the hosting of the Visiting Commit- fee of Secondary School Accreditation. In the latter event, the society both pro- vided refreshments and served as greet- 2rs and tour guides.

All these characteristics are reflected in Monacan sports. Team work, a major part of the excellence of sports, brings the athletes together in an effort to reach similar goals. Working together through tough practices and intense games, or meets, leads the group to outstanding heights. The varsity Field Hockey Team, for example, finished second in the state, a pinnacle never before reached by the team. The girls achieved their victory by setting a goal and working together to reach it. The Cross- Country team, led by Jeff Slater, won Districts and moved into the number three position at Regionals. The Boys Varsity Basketball Team proved stronger than ever. They ended their season with a 15-5 record, the best yet. Hard work and dedication follow suit in making it work in sports. Consider- ing the fact that participating on a sports team requires a substantial amount of time and a certain academic standard, the Chief’s athletes are obviously dedicated students making not only their team but also their school, work. Many hours doing stretches, running courses, working drills, and planning strategies go into the making of a good team. Becoming physically and mentally fit allows the Chiefs’ teams to perform well against other teams and to receive honors for outstanding play. Making it work in sports enables the Chiefs to stand out above all others. Cheering on their Team. Managers and players alike cheer on the varsity basketball team, in hopes of another big win.

In Short - Even before the beginning of the school year, the varsity Lady Chiefs seemed well into their season, having faced tough competition in Williams- burg. While there, they were crowned the Tiger Division Champions. This victory got the girls fired up and kept them that way throughout the entire season. This was also the start of what would be a promising season for the girls basketball team, and indeed it was. The Lady Chiefs started off their regular season with an important victory over Mar- shall-Walker. They continued their winning streak until they faced the Royals of Prince George.

This playoff, involving Monacan, Prince George, and Marshall-Walker, was to de- termine the Regular Season Champion. Monacan received the bye by a coin toss, so the girls were able to sit out the first game before playing. By defeating Prince George, Monacan achieved two things: first, an automatic bye to the Regional Tournament and sec- ond, the number one seed for the District Tournament.

They also won more games (22) than any other sport at Monacan has done in any given season. Although the entire team possessed great talent, the Stats set apart three players in particular: Denise Williams, Beth Spence, and Julie Pin- kard.

This past year’s team, however, experienced perhaps more than its share. First, the omnipotent (and in- famous) School Board, acting in infinite wisdom and in the purported interests of public safety, chose to outlaw road running for high school ath- letes, a more than slight mal- ady for cross country runners, Driving Force And Winning Ways. With the talent of all the members of the girls Cross Country team, Mona- can dominated another Cross Country season. 80 Cross Country who log upwards of eight miles per day. Second, the team, composed of harriers of the highest caliber, was con- founded by a resurgence of cross country popularity statewide. Although both boys’ and girls’ teams pulled off impressive early season wins at N.C. State’s Wolfpack Invitational, while continuing their undefeated dual meet dynasty and easily carrying away both district meet titles, their travel away from local competition was tainted with opposing talent seldom seen in VHSL history. On the other hand, Monacan contributed its share to the state’s pool of elite competi- tion. In particular, a Slater- Slater brother and sister duo proved a driving force in the Chiefs’ winning ways. Jeff Slater, the area’s premier long distance runner, reigned victo- rious in almost every meet and invitational, including the Dis- trict, Regional, and State con- tests. His sister, freshman Tracy Slater, led the girls’ team while winning Districts Dedicated Harrier. Running in the state Cross Country meet, freshman Barry Maroney holds his own with the strong VHSL competition. and placing second in Region- als. A shocking fluke of nature, you say? No — just talent. The Cross Country team has always been faced with the fact, all vanity aside, that excellence is everyday. While some team members fell by the wayside, unable to with- stand the rigor and discipline required by the sport, the sur- viving harriers, both boys and girls alike, continue to ex- pound upon their rightful lega- cy, the legacy that is Monacan Cross Country.

A Successful Building Year Although the 1983 Chiefs fell short of having the season that they had hoped for, it was still a very successful building year, and another step toward putting together the quality football program at Monacan that everyone desires. Optimism ran high as the Chiefs opened fall practice in 1983. Having completed a very successful off-season strength program under the leadership of coaches Stadler, Wingfield and Ferrel, they were hoping for a produc- tive year and ended with a 2-8 record. The season began ona high note with a sterling 12-7 victo- ry over a strong Trinity Episco- pal squad. This win ran the string to two victories in two years over the Titans but, two straight losses, one 12-7 to Douglas Freeman and a nar- row 10-6 defeat, at the hands of Southside District Champi- ons Nottoway, left the Chiefs record at one win and two losses through the first three games. The always powerful Cavaliers of Marshall-Walker were the Chiefs next opponent and, after an evenly fought 0-0 first half, the Chiefs were beaten 20-0. The still deter- mined Tribe visited arch rival Petersburg the following Fri- day and played an outstanding game before bowing to the Wave in a hotly fought con- Ae “34% BO; 66 7 de Le? BP, SAE ie test, 7-6. Disappointed but not discouraged, the squad con- tinued to prepare very hard in preparation for the state ranked Sussex Central Tigers, who were next to invade Chief Territory. Playing with great pride and determination, the Chiefs emerged victorious with a convincing 12-7 Home- coming win. With 2 wins and 4 losses, a trip to Dinwiddie, the home of the Central District Champs, was next. A well ex- ecuted game scheme, both of- fensively and defensively, was evident for twenty-two minutes of the first half but, with the Chiefs behind 3-0, a quick General touchdown, just be- fore intermission, shifted the momentum to their opponent and the Tribe was beaten 23- O. Getting off to a great start the following Friday night against Prince George, the Chiefs jumped out to an early 14-0 lead however, several costly mental errors allowed the Royals to even the score and with less than a minute left on the clock, kicked a field goal to beat the Chiefs 17-14. Displaying pride and charac- ter, the Chiefs gave the Re- gional Champion Hopewell Blue-devils all they wanted in game nine. Taking a 7-2 lead into halftime, the Chief’s out- standing defense had held Hopewell’s offense to less than twenty yards rushing and only one first down in the first half however, again plagued by mental leftdowns, the third quarter belonged to Hopewell who finally won 17-13. The tenth game ended in another disappointing loss to the al- ways tough Benedictine Ca- dets 17-6, bringing to a close the 1983 season, a year that left everyone feeling that the Chiefs were a much better football team than their record indicated. Although the final record was very deceiving this squad was one of class and charac- ter who, under some extreme- ly difficult situations, showed no signs of ever quitting. They practiced hard, prepared well and played with intensity each week. They received out- standing leadership from the eight seniors; tri-captains Chris Hughes, David Kass- nove and John Klosky, also Loyal Pridgen, John Anderson, Tom Fussell, Mike Ragan and Billy Davis. The Chiefs J.V. team had one of the best years they have ever had in the short his- tory of Monacan. Led by Coach Joe Ferrel and Coach Billy Abbott, the J.V. Chiefs finished with a record of 1-4-1 and showed a lot of potential. If this is any sign of things to come for the varsity squad, the football program should enjoy success in the future. Football.

The many returning players from last year’s varsity and junior varsity teams brought the team to the highest level of skill in its history. In concrete terms this meant the estab- lishment of records that may stand unbroken for years to come. After a close loss to Albe- marle for first place in the Al- bemarle Invitational Tourna- ment, the girls began their reg- ular season with a record- breaking 15-0 defeat of Petersburg. From then on there was no stopping the Lady Chiefs in district play. Led by top-scorers Liz Smith, Manda Waroblak, and Mia Ra, the team scored 54 times in seven games, while goalie Mary Norford and an outstand- ing defense kept their oppo- nents to only one goal. This un- beatable teamwork sent the girls to the state semifinals for a momentous win over North Stafford. Not only did Liz Smith’s winning goal break the state record for most goals scored by a player in a single season, but the win meant Monacan would proceed to the final round for the first time after four years of playing in the state tournament. Even though the team lost the final game to South Lakes, the girls should be as proud of the ex- ceptional skill level displayed as they deserved — the State Runner-up Title. Several special awards were presented at the end of the season: Liz Smith was vot- ed Best Offensive Player, Au- drey Ladner and Lucy Fisher tied for the honor of Best De- fensive Player, and Mary Nor- ford received the Coach’s Award for three years of dedi- cated varsity play. Yet dedi- cation and team spirit was the ruler rather than the exception on Monacan’s hockey field; and the friendships found and the lessons learned will stand as a tribute to Coach Wilkin- son’s conscientious guidance even longer than the records will.

Field Hockey August saw a dedicated group of girls — most of them newcomers to the sport — out in the hot sun struggling to learn the basics of this strange game, field hockey. Many of the girls had attended the hockey camp at the Ste- ward School in early August and had had their baptisms of fire on some of the more swel- tering of summer days. Water tanks would empty almost as quickly as they were filled — and still the girls worked on. The work paid off. By the end of the season it seemed hard to believe that only seven members of the team had ever played hockey before this year. In fact, the team main- tained an impressive record against the private schools who specialize in the sport and even held their own against varsity second teams from Collegiate and Albe- marle. As the season passed, players progressed. Last Down and Out. With one of their teammates down on the ground, the J.V.

Louise Herceg played such intelligent defense that sweeper Jimi Bolt and new goalie Theresa Wirt were able to defend well against numerous attempts on goal. Newcomers Cathy Rob- inson, Monica Rowan, and Slade Johnson joined Heidi Williams, Betsy Downing, and Jill Moore in scoring for the team. Greatly improved attack players were Carin Lynch, Christy Latimer, Marlo Cutts, Kristin Hardin, Jill Camden, Amy Cushman, and veteran Debbie Chatnick. Strong de- fense was made by Sam Wil- helm, Cynthia Fuller, Jennifer Schulz, Paige Clements, Sarah Hawthorne, Dana Jor- genson, and Maria Chesley. Two special events oc- curred this year. At the begin- ning of the season tri-captains were elected: Cindy Odum, a first-year player, proved to be so good at the position of goalkeeper that she traveled with the Varsity ‘‘A’’ team for most of the season. Special also this season was the se- lection of Robynn Webb as head manager with Angie Northey, Heidi Schafer, and Valerie Smith as tri-managers under her supervision. Need- less to say, the team was well- lead and well-managed. Important learning, friend- ships, and memories devel- oped among them. The team certainly learned good stick- work and sportsmanship and rules. They also learned the value of helping a teammate in need, of joking through the in- evitable trash pick-ups and fruitcake sales, of observing ladylike behavior (ha, ha!) when celebrating at Friend- ly’s. This team was special, and the girls are all stronger and closer friends and athletes be- cause of this season of work and play. Stretching Out. An important part of pre-game warm-up is stretching.

Golf Team On Par In The Fall Monacan, due to its commit- ment to excellence, is con- stantly open to beneficial change. A prime example was found in the 1983 Golf Team, which, in order to keep pace with competition, competed during the fall season rather than the spring. Emerging from the change was a team that was both treading new ground and maintaining old standards of skill and sportsmanship. The two aspects of the team could be readily seen from the beginning of the season until the end. In the warm summer sun players such as Paul Kirit- sis and Brent Averette led the Chiefs to ten consecutive vic- Perfect Followthrough.

With support from oth- ers, Mark Morgan and Ivan Wu for example, the regular sea- son progressed toward the defeat of Prince George in the District Tournament Cham- pionship. Among the outstand- ing performances in the tour- nament were those of Andrew Hodson with a score of 77; senior Janet Matsey, who placed fifth with a score of 82; Averette, Kiritsis, Wu, and Morgan. Finally, the season drew to aclose with an 11-4-2 record and a third place finish against stiff competition in the Regional Tournament.

A fine example of this is Monacan’s girls gymnastics team. Coached by Frances Farmer and assistant coach, Dean Ar- ledge, the team made up of freshman manager, Jean Bet- tinger, two freshman, five sophomores, two juniors, and two seniors, attacked the 83- 84 season with determined minds, enthusiastic spirit and, yes, lots of hard work. Inthe regular season meets, the Lady Chiefs showed their ability with grace and agility. With only these defeats be- hind them, two being to teams outside of the Region, the team travelled to the Regional Tournament at Henrico High School on February 18 to per- form their hard worked rou- tines. In one of the closest Re- gional meets ever, Monacan placed second behind Hermit- age by only one-tenth of a point, thus qualifying the entire team to compete in the State meet. Quite an improvement after only placing fifth in last year’s Regionals. The most dominant trait of Monacan’s Gymnastics team, its depth, clearly shined through in all the season’s meets. This fact was proven by the first places captured in three events. Amy Gauntt placed first on floor, Mia Ra first on beam, and Terra Mc- Donald first on vault. Three Regional champions for the first time in Monacan’s history. In addition Donna Ladner placed fourth on bars and Ro- byn Shaw second on floor. Thus, with this outstanding show of depth and talent, es- pecially at the end of the sea- son, all eyes look forward to next year’s season which will, once again, be dominated by the Monacan Chiefs. 100 Gymnastics Point Those Toes.

Respectability for Chiefs The Chiefs took giant steps toward maturity and respect- ability in the 1983-84 season. It was truly a year of firsts for Monacan’s basketball pro- gram. This year marked the first time a Monacan Basket- ball team defeated Benedic- tine, Hopewell, or Marshall- Walker; with determination and never ending hustle the Chiefs of 83-84 posted the best record ever ending witha 15-6 mark, 6-4 in the district.

Also for the Chiefs was Mike Winiecki who, at 6’-6’’, is the ‘Tallest Chief Ever’’. Mike was a second-team All-Metro selection and led the team in rebounding with nearly 10 a game. These two super play- ers also landed spots on the first team all Central District squad. Mr. Assist and play- maker Tris Lipscomb was hon- ored for accumulating the most assists during the sea- son averaging 5.6 a game. Outside shooting power was another factor in making this season the best ever. It was provided on the floor by other starters Dan Lynch, Tim Swaim, and Rob Dunnington. These three proved invaluable to Chief success throughout the year. Outstanding efforts off the bench was put forth by Rodney Thomas and Doug Nierle.

Highlights of the 83-84 sea- son included double victories over Benedictine, Lee-Davis, and Hopewell. Notable wins were also notched over Mar- shall-Walker, Trinity, and a re- sounding defeat of Prince George. The last game of the regular season saw the Chiefs travel to Hopewell and emerge victorious by virtue of Chris Ur- ban’s last second shot. Last quarter heroics were also pro- vided by Rob Dunnington, Dan Lynch, and Doug Nierle. The Chiefs, after receiving a bye in the first round of the District Tournament, suffered defeat in their first outing of the event to Hopewell by a score of 83- G5: Although the eight Seniors on this years squad were the nucleus of the best team in Monacan’s history, they had set even higher goals prior to the season. These young men have played together for many years and were extremely dis- appointed in ending post-sea- son play so soon. However, they would like to thank all of the support given to the Bas- ketball program this season by the entire Monacan commu- nity. With strong returning players, the Chiefs should be able to make it work for years to come.

With early sea- son losses to Lee-Davis, Pe- tersburg and Marshall-Walker, the J.V. Chiefs managed a re- spectable 4-3 record by Janu- ary 3. With David Keogh aver- aging 13 points a game, the team looked towards a suc- cessful winning season, but in- juries and illness took their toll on the Chiefs. Keogh was lost for the season with an ankle injury against Benedictine on January 10, and no game for the remainder of the season was played with a full roster. Following numerous line-up changes and some tough losses to Hopewell, Lee-Davis and Petersburg, the Chiefs were 4-7 and struggling for leadership. Nevertheless, the team regrouped and complet- ed the last nine games 6-3, in- cluding an impressive victory against arch rival Benedictine. The 1983-84 season had many highlights for the Chiefs. On January 6, the J.V.’s broke the school record for points in a game. This was achieved with a 99-45 win over Prince- George. In this victory, all but J.V. ‘‘B’’ Basketball.

Another big victory came at the hands of Benedic- tine. Avenging a loss earlier in the season at Benedictine, the J.V. Chiefs handed the Cadets only their third loss of their season. Ricky Jarvis led the way with 14 points and 8 re- bounds. In perhaps the best game of the year forthe J.V.’s, the Chiefs fell short against Central District power Mar- shall-Walker, who earlier in the season handed the Chiefs an 18 point loss. The final score was 48-46, but the ef- fort and determination of the Chiefs showed the kind of basketball the J.V.’s were ca- pable of playing. In a year that resulted in a 10-10 record, it should be noted that 6 losses were suffered at the hands of the Central District’s final standing first, second, and third place teams — Hope- well, Petersburg, and Mar- shall-Walker. Despite a ‘“seemingly’’ mediocre re- cord, the J.V. ‘“‘A’’ Chiefs had a successful campaign and a growing experience. The 1983-84 J.V. ““A’’ team was composed of 13 sopho- mores and 2 freshmen, Rod- ney Brown and Anthony Thompson. With no player starting every game, the J.V.’s Saw a variety of lineups. Soph- omore Ricky Jarvis emerged as the team leader following the loss of David Keogh. Jar- vis averaged over 8 points and 5 rebounds a game, before be- ing lost to an ankle injury for the final two games. Freshman Rodney Brown was the defen- sive wizard on the squad aver- aging 5 steals per game, and also the point guard account- ing for many points with his passing. Eric Jones had a spo- radic season, but had several outstanding games both offen- sively and defensively. Casey Cronan added needed offen- sive support late in the season averaging 10 points a game in the final 7 games. Brent Aver- atte added leadership and steady play consistent effort in the backcourt. Marc Peck and Philip Hodges were the ‘Mr. Hustles”’ of the team with both starting and supporting efforts. Peck and Hodges were instrumental in the late season win streak. Terrence Glover war ‘‘Mr. Offense”’ off the bench scoring an impres- sive 86 points for the season. Paul Kiritsis added needed strength in the Center position despite missing several games due to illness. Game highs for the season were highlighted by David Keogh’s 22 points against Prince George; Eric Jones’ 14 re- bounds at Prince George; and Rodney Brown’s 8 steals and 7 assists against Dinwiddie. 4 ss. et “Listen To'Me And Listen Goo® Collaborating during ‘an ‘intense ti- meout, Coach Riléy di$cusses “the strategy with his team. fu J.V.

The Two Mile relay team of Ken Bark, Michael Halle, Chris Ockler, and Jeff Slater went undefeated for the sea- son with two first place fin- ishes scored at the East Coast Invitational and the Walt Cormack Invitational.

The Chiefs also excelled in tournament competition. Mon- acan won its second straight Richmond Invitational Christ- mas Tournament, the largest tournament on the East Coast. The Chiefs were District run- ner ups to Petersburg and fin- ished second in the Region to Petersburg by the narrow mar- gin of three and one half points.

Gravatt and White provided important defensive strenth, as did sophomore Mike Redding. The four shu- touts, against Hopewell twice, Godwin, and Midlothian were due largely to the talent of goalkeeper Noel Barber — a player so dedicated that he played part of the season with a broken nose. In the District Tournament, replacement goalkeeper Tony Bryson proved he, too, had skill, by allowing only one goal by Hopewell and none by Peters- burg. Offensively, Chris Scott, the leading scorer in the Rich- mond area with 27 goals, leda superior line up that included junior David Barna, who con- tributed six goals, and fresh- man Derek Wilson, adding four. A midfield squad consist- ing of junior James O'Neill; sophomores Jay Olsen, Chris Holder, and Paul Lawson; and freshman Chris Stevens rounded out a team that domi- nated victoriously until a dis- appointing, yet strong, finish against Freeman in the finals of the Regional Tournament.

Throughout the season, the team was led by the following players: Senior co-captain Manda Waroblak, who led the Lady Chiefs in runs scored with 26 and stolen bases with 22; Junior Kim Pearman had a team high .431 batting aver- age and 26 runs batted in (RBI’s); Junior Andrea Young collected the most hits (27) and had the second highest batting average (.409): and Sophomore Cindy Odum, who was selected the most valu- able player, was second in RBI’s with 22 and had a bat- ting average of .393. Seniors Manda Waroblak, Mary Norford, and Lois Kinch provided leadership for the successful young Monacan squad.

All four made it to Regionals in their individual events, while Halle and Slater advanced to States. Rounding out the men’s distance events was freshman Barry Maroney, who made it to state competi- tion in the 1600m with times consistently in the low 4:30’s. The girl’s team was at least equally successful. Beginning the season by winning the Monacan Relays, the girls zoomed through regular sea- son to be District regular sea- son champions. Although edged out in Districts and forced to take the number two spot (the boys were also sec- ond place district finishers), the girls took two relays and three other individuals (Cabel Anderson, Heather Shiner, Kelly McClain) to Regionals, one of largest Regional teams ever. The relay teams also had the distinction of placing at Vol Classic: the 4x400m team got third while the 4x200m team grabbed fourth.

Tennis 121 World of sports In today’s modern world, ex- ercise is the number one source of releasing tension and extra energy. Well, Mona- can High School is no excep- tion. Many of the most popular and celebrated students at Monacan, and most other schools as well, are the stu- dent-athletes who excell in those spo rts which the school offers as a letterman sport. Then there are the less known students who are, in fact, known quite well outside of school for their excellence in their own activities. Many stu- dents at Monacan participate in non-letterman sports such as bowling, lacrosse, swim- ming, and diving. To many, bowling is just a recreational sport where one can go with friends to have fun. Afterall, that is why bowl- ing was invented. For this rea- son, Monacan has a bowling program. For the last three years, the Monacan bowling teams have practiced at Bowl America every Tuesday at 4:00 in order to have fun and improve their game at the same time. Three years ago, senior Jeff Dato saw the need of some intrascholastic com- petition where the participant could have fun and release academic pressure as well. This year, Jeff and Mr. Ed- wards, a Driver’s Education in- structor at Monacan, helped to organize Richmond’s first interscholastic bowling league. Overall, twelve teams, three from Monacan, repre- senting seven area high schools participated. Mona- can’s teams and individuals faired very well against their competition. Monacan teams finshed third, fourth, and twelfth. Jeff won the boy’s high average (181), while ju- nior Sherry Golden won the girls’ high game with a beauti- ful 198 game. Another sport which is quickly gaining popularity at 122 Sports Monacan is lacrosse. Though unknown by many, this is a very physically demanding sport which is a cross be- tween soccer and rugby. Sen- iors Brian Maslyk and Chris Collins are active partici- pants. Both feel lacrosse and bowling will become letterman sports in Chesterfield County. These are the land sports. What about the water sports? Water sports at Monacan are bigger than most people think. An estimated 1 out of ev- ery 4 Monacan students are active in either swimming or diving or both sometime during the year. Monacan students Angela Winstead, Debbie Wills, and Jim Jones are known throughout the East for their incredible swimming abil- ity; while Eileen Heiry is equal- ly Known for her diving ability. Angela, Debbie, and Jim swim 12 months of the year. During the winter, these three swim for the Briarwood of Richmond Aquatic Club. BRAC is Known throughout the East as a major force in swimming. Eileen has an outstanding div- ing record which spands over five years. She has not lost a meet in that spand. It is also known that she has won Junior Olympic Qualifiers which have sent her to Florida and Penn- sylvania to compete; the Bran- dermill Invitational, which in- cludes the top divers from the East coast; and the 1983 State Diving Championships. All feel that water sports should be included in both Physical Education and the Virginia High School League’s letterman sports list. As one can see, Monacan has outstanding student-ath- letes who are not recognized by the student body, but are apart of the surrounding extra- Curricular environment which all students need in order to make themselves a healthy person, as well as a well- rounded student. ty ee al ana Good Form.

As a part of the Monacan track program he has excelled be- yond anyone’s original expec- tation. AS a sophomore Jeff thought his sports interests were with basketball. During the basketball team’s pre- season conditioning with the cross-country team, he was noticed by former Monacan track and cross country coach Granger Ancarrow. After mak- ing the basketball team that winter, Slater realized that he would probably get more com- petition and playing time on the track team and the rest is history, literally. Slater’s personal records and major placements in meets throughout the nation are seldom equaled by any athlete. During the cross- country seasons he has placed first in such presti- gious meets as Georgetown 126 Jeff Slater Prep and the UVA-Invitational, where he holds the course re- cord. He placed third in the Kinney Shoe South-Eastern Region meet, which qualified him for the National meet in San Diego, California where he placed twenty-fourth. He captured the State Cross- Country title as both a Junior and a Senior. On the track, he has kept the same pace. For the past two years he has been first in the One Mile at the East Coast Invitational. This year he was State Indoor Two Mile Champion. As a Sen- ior he also improved from his previous third place finish to win the E. Granger Ancarrow Memorial Mile at the notorious Volunteer Track Classic in Knoxville, Tennessee — a personal record. He was sev- enth in the mile at the world ae Bs a ad % 1 Lact Sepge he - One Among The Pack. At the State Cross Country meet Jeff Slater begins the race with contenders for the State title. Jeff won the race and kept his State title. er ee a ot a famous Penn Relays in Phila- delphia, Pennsylvania. His personal record, set during outdoor Districts of his Junior year, of 4:11.00 inthe mile has put him into the upper echelon of high school runners, a Ca- pacity that Slater as a three time state champion fills easi- ly. It has taken patience and hard work of both the late coach Ancarrow, to whom Jeff refers as his inspiration, and present Monacan Track coach Mont Linkenauger, responsi- ble for Jeff's guidance, to help put Jeff where he is now. Jeff enjoys team competitions bet- ter than individual endea- vours. For this reason he fa- vors Cross-Country (as team scores are kept) and relays. For Jeff it has been especially memorable to be anchor leg on the 3200m relay team con- sisting of Chris Ockler, Ken Bark, Michael Halle, and Slater. The team ran a school record of 8:06.02 which, like most of Slater’s records, should remain unbroken for many years to come. In the fu- ture Jeff speaks of more team efforts and running even long- er distances. Because of these accom- plishments and his potential for running the much hallowed sub-four minute mile, Jeff has been pursued by many col- leges on both the local and na- tional scene. His talent and dedication, in an often unno- ticed sport, will obviously lead to a bright, productive future. One can be sure that Jeff will continue to prove his competi- tion wrong as he beats them to the finish line. Jeff At Play.

A strong academic program may attract a school to the intellect of a student, but it does not endear it to the heart. Remembrance of a math class does not arouse sentimentality for the study of fourth — order determinants, it provokes memories of the friend who brought laughter or the teacher who provided understanding. The people of a school make it work. At Monacan, individuality is respected. Accepting each other provided the basis for relationships between two staff members, a staff member and a student, or two students. With mutual respect, the people of a school are able to find the incentive necessary to create a productive atmosphere. If one is working for or with a person who is held in high regards, the desire to perform well is great. The relationships developed at Monacan form the basis of the motivation needed to make the school work. On the following pages are the elements of the most special kinds of memories. The faces are capable of evoking both laughter and tears. The emotions provoked by these pictures are what makes Monacan work. Ways of the Weather. With the snow falling and covering the ground the students make their way to their buses because school has been dismissed early People Divider 129 Set Up To Her Ears In Work. Shuffling through the heap of attendance cards, Mrs. Foran attempts to set the affairs of the clinic straight. 130 Office Workers Hidden Behind A Desk. Seated at her desk, Mrs. North is busy handling the daily procedures of making the school run smoothly. All Those Numbers. Managing the fi- nances of the school can become a tedious job, but Mrs. Odum handles the job with ease. The Office Staff — They Run It All The mere size of Monacan necessitates the existence of a strong central administra- tion; otherwise the lack of leadership would result in cha- os. As the administrators serve as the basis for the ex- ecution of school policy, the environment which houses them acts as a clearinghouse for the rest of the school. To- gether, the administrators, the office staff, and the office aides create an efficient and perti-office, and school. When it comes to the office, looks can definately deceive. To see Mrs. North flustered by an overload of incoming phone call; Mrs. Odum buried be- neath a pile of bills; Mr. Jones besieged by an influx of stu- dents and teachers; or an aide attempting to juggle mes- sages, mail, and errands, the worst would immediately be suspected. However, it is the ability of the office workers to Leisure Time. With his feet propped up Mr. Jones chats on the phone, though his time is usually spent work- ing with students and teachers. deal patiently and carefully with stressful situations that is the rule. For example, Mrs. North is capable not only of dealing kindly with callers, but also of consulting with teach- ers, administrators, and stu- dents; of monitering office ac- tivity, and of serving as a dedi- cated professional. Mrs. Odum cheerfully handles even the largest number of bills and skillfully manages’ the school’s finances — not an easy task. Calm and caring are two essential factors in making the office work. Without a doubt, the office, because it is the nucleus of the administrative system, must be strong and well-orga- nized. Accomplishing that aim are all those present in the of- fice — administrators, staff, and aides. Together, they make the office work; in turn, the office helps to make Mon- acan work. Working Together. Thumbing through some papers an aide helps to relieve some of Mrs. Pittman’s heavy work load. Office Workers 131 The Task of Making Monacan Shine As any perceptive reader would be able to deduce, we are highlighting those people who ‘‘make it work’’ at Mona- can inthis year’s edition of the Legend. Perhaps the least appreciated and yet very im- portant component of our school is the custodial staff. Their faces are familiar but their names ar e not. Students and faculty are probably not aware of the many jobs our custodial staff perform during the course of a day, either. Headed by Lloyd Fountain, Monacan’s custodial staff has Hello Down There. Repair crews have become familiar sights in the task of making Monacan work. a truly mammoth task to per- form. Cleaning up after 1800 students and 130 faculty and staff members may be over- whelming, in itself. This, how- ever, is only the beginning of their responsibilities. As the “maintenance crew’’, one of their main jobs is to maintain the physical plant. Minor re- pairs in classrooms and bath- rooms, upkeep of the dining rooms, lockers and gymnasi- um are all part of a custodian’s job. In addition to the jobs men- tioned above, custodians must be at the school during any, and all activities. Dances, meetings, athletic events all require that a custodian be present. Due to this require- ment, the custodians are di- vided into two groups. One group is at the school during the day; the other group is at Monacan from 4pm to 11pm. In fact, it is rare that a member of the custodial staff is not at Monacan. Many components are re- quired to operate an effective school environment. Faculty, students, Administrators, aides are all prominent on any list. Do not, however, forget the custodians. Though rarely recognized, they make a valu- able contribution to making our school work. Here We Go Again. The toll of another day shows in the expression of this hardworking lady. | Know It’s Here.

If this generalization can be applied to a school’s faculty, Monacan’s Tom Tan- ton is a special teacher in- deed. His unique teaching style and methods combined with a questionable but admit- tedly conducive personality, make Mr. Tanton at once one of the best liked, the most chastized, and, in lieu of a per- haps more appropriate super- lative, one of the most unfor- getable of our faculty. “No one knew who he was or where he came from...” runs an old folk legend. Almost the same can be applied to Mr. Tanton. We do know that he is a graduate from UVA and has been teaching at Monacan for four years. This thirty year old teacher relates to his classes the fact that he is obviously a proverbial ‘‘man of the world,”’ aware of the problems of young people, and willing to lend an ear to help them cope. His dry (or maybe just a tad soggy) wit is often over the head of many a senioritis-in- fected government student, and his words, ‘‘Does anyone know a good joke’’ often serves to break the tension of class. Lest any lower classmen begin saying his bedtime pray- ers to be thrown into the graces of this man, it is our duty to warn the public that be- neath this charming exterior lies a person whose goodli- ness comes from a few steps lower than heaven. Mr. Tan- ton’s tests are acknowledged even by Honors students as bordering on the impossible. A’s are seen in his class about as often as Bigfoot is sighted Strolling through Chesterfield Mall. A myrid of tests, papers, and projects are the rule rath- er than the exception in Mr. Tanton’s course. Do not count on sympathy either: a good time is a good time, but you had better do what you have to do. Even the days when his classes get a chance to listen to politically motivated sixties music serve a particular pur- pose, a definate goal (and don’t you forget it). Underclassmen! Do Not pull out your Mr. Tanton voodoo dolls just yet. He does take steps to convince humanity that he is ‘‘one of the guys.”’ He is, of course, the Legend’s hardworking sponsor. No, really. He sometimes is seen out on the town doing things normally considered almost classy and certainly at least respectable. Finally, out of the goodness of his bizarre little heart, he seems to take year- ly, a pilgrimage to Europe with an eager group of (paying) Monacan students. He goes free, of course, but one must admire the sacrifice. Some questions remain un- answered: For example, where does Mr. Tanton disap- pear to for days on end, leav- ing a harried substitute to watch his classes? Exactly who is this man, and what does he want with us? As class after class tries to solve the question, they find what he is the most: A slightly unortho- dox teacher who cares greatly about his students.

Makes Learning Fun “Get wisdom and you have a bright future.’’ This proverbi- al sentiment expresses a re- spect for learning that is evi- dent in a teacher who is famil- iar to many seniors who may not share her feelings — Miss Mary Jacqueline Pendergraft. The continuance of education, formal or otherwise is of value to this influential teacher and, subsequently, to those who complete her class. Personal- ly and professionally, Miss Pendergraft exemplifies the benefits of the love of learn- ing. The desire to study in her areas of interest, not the asperation to be a teacher, led Miss Pendergraft to East Carolina University. Majoring in English and minoring in Spanish, she decided to put her knowledge to use by trans- mitting it to others. Thus, Miss Pendergraft embarked upon the career that, in spite of ini- tial difficulties, keeps her challenged and happy today. The largest indication of her success is the respect that she evokes from those who work with her — students and teachers alike. Students rec- ognize what Miss Pendergraft considers her necessary strength as an educator — the respect of the individuality of a student. Therefore, she has stated she is able to learn from the diversity and the spontaneity of those that she teaches. A statement by Mrs. Kathy Lewis reflects Miss Pendergraft’s success with her colleagues: ‘‘She is the best department head l’ve had, and I’ve worked in four schools.”’ Professionally, the love of learning possessed by Miss Pendergraft affords her the opportunity both to benefit her students by impressing it upon them and to provide ad- vantages for herself by learn- ing from those around her. The most revealing aspects of a human are the values that he holds. In her personal, as well as professional goals, Miss Pendergraft regards learning with great respect. In the future, she hopes to con- Horrors, what’s lurking here? No matter what the topic, Mrs. Pender- graft always seems to make it humor- Ous and enjoyable. tinue her studies, perhaps by attending classes full-time in the summer. A question that leads her ahead is, ‘‘What have | done today that | cando better tomorrow?’’ Tomorrow will find Miss Pendergraft, who has taught at schools in Mary- land and Florida, as well as at Clover Hill, Manchester, and Matoaca, at Monacan, con- tinuing to teach and to learn. Joking about having no ambi- tion, Miss Pendergraft con- vincingly states that she is so content teaching that she plans to remain in the profes- sion indefinitely. When all is said and done, in particular when senior English is successfully completed and graduation is but a memory, the fortunate students of Miss Pendergraft will carry with them her influence. In the course of future learning, an encounter with another true scholar, who possesses re- spect for both people and studies, may be in order. How- ever, it will serve simply as a remin der of the original lesson taught by a special high school English instructor. Without a doubt, Miss Pender- graft is one who, in the words of Geoffrey Chaucer, beloved to all seniors, ‘‘would gladly learn and gladly teach.”’ [SS “I know it’s here somewhere.”’ Searching for a quote, Mrs. Pender- graft consults a literature book. fs eeprene =e Faculty 139 Senior Class Officers.

As part of preparation for the Academy, Matt Cushmann pushes himself to the limit in track. 144 Class of ‘84 a all Great Way Of Life Ahead According to the Air Force, in order to discover a ‘“‘great way of life’? one must “aim high.’’ No doubt, those slo- gans have launched the dreams of many young people. One of those people is Senior Matt Cushman. Since junior high school, Matt has planned to enter the Air Force by be- coming a cadet at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Following along and difficult path, Matt has prepared him- self well for acceptance to the Academy by excelling in the areas of academics, athletics, and leadership. As a student, Matt has shown ability and de- termination by carrying four years of strong academic . classes and by succeeding in them. Leadership is evident in Matt’s involvement in the com- munity through membership in the Civil Air Patrol. All of the experiences of the years since his decision to attend the AFA will be invaluable to Matt. Not only has his indirect preparation for the AFA been extensive but also the appli- cation process has been com- plicated. Through an initial questionnaire, a complete medical examination by the government, and, most presti- gious of all, a Principal Nomi- — nation by Congressman Thom- | as J. Bliley, Jr., Matt has ner- — vously progressed toward his goal. Following the previously © mentioned steps, a physical” endurance test and a final re- view of the candidate’s file for an appointment determine the - acceptance of a cadet. . A final benefit of a clear definition of his goal is the op- portunity for Matt to look far into his future. After gradu- ation from the academy, Matt hopes to enter flight school — and, therefore, serve a man- © datory seven years in the Air § Force. At a time when a major-. ity of people are conras about the future, Matt has « clear vision and a straight, if long challenging, path to his | goals. With great appreciation, Matt credited his family an his teachers with supporting and encouraging him. | Most of his gratitude, however, v reserved for his friends endured his ‘‘continuous ra’ bling about airplanes and th Air Force.’” Without a doubt Matt’s family, teachers, anc friends respect his matur and responsibility in settit his goals and in working te ward them. ae Pir Singing In the Spotlight The stage set, spotlight and microphone at ready — such an atmosphere has partly con- tributed to Susan Mariner’s in- terest and accomplishment in the music and theatrical world. As most Monacan stu- dents know, Susan, a senior this year, has delivered many stunning performances during her high school career. Being a soprano has enabled her to play leading roles in musical and drama productions includ- ing the popular musical, ‘‘The Pirates of Penzance.’’ Addi- tionally, she sang ‘‘Endless Love’’ with Bob Jennings in last year’s talent show. Although she is deeply in- volved in her music — she is Currently a member of the Chamber Ensemble — Susan is engaged in such activities as French Honor Society, N.H.S., and Forensics. Susan has also taken an interest ina new opportunity that has been currently opened to students this year, the music theory class, which offers a chance to study music as well as write musical compositions. Susan aspires to attend ei- ther The College of William and Mary or to attend James Madison University. She plans to major in both voice and French. After college, Susan hopes to go into some field of music. With talents like Susan's, all that can be said for certain is that she will be missed by many here at Monacan. After all, who is going to be able to replace that kind of talent? Practice Makes Perfect.

Believe it or not men! Senior, Caren Goode, has been accepted at the United States Military Academy at West Point. Many might ask how Caren became interested in attending the Military Acad- emy. Her first sign of interest occured when she saw the movie, ‘“‘The Women of West Point,’’ during her Freshmen year. During her Sophomore year, as her interest expand- ed, she began sending away for information. After receiving great amounts of information, Caren decided that the acade- my was the school for her. During her Junior year, Caren actively began filing for an application to West Point. In order to have a file, she was required to complete a ques- tionaire. At this time, Caren re- Hard Working. After basing her future on her loyalty to her country, and her desire to receive a good education Caren Goode will be attending West Point.

Upon hearing this, Caren applied for one nomination from both Senators (Warner and Trible) and Representa- tive Tom Bliley. After filing for her application, Caren began exploring the academy fur- ther. She often spoke with ca- dets and visited West Point throughout the continuation of her Junior year. The more she discovered about the acade- my, the more she liked it. During the summer before notifing West Point of her deci- sion to apply under the early action plan, she was required to have a complete medical and dental examination. After hearing about Caren’s deci- sion and about her good health, the academy sent her a packet of forms. She re- ceived several recommenda- tion forms which were to be completed by several teach- ers. Another form requested a secondary school transcript including an essay on the rea- son why Caren wanted to at- tend West Point. Finally, her last requirement was taking a — Physical Aptitude Test con- sisting of such things as the flexed arm hang, the broad jump, and other things similar to the Presidential Aptitude Test. Now that the forms were completed, a long agonizing wait was to be expected for the results. After three months, Caren © received a letter notifying her of her acceptance to West Point, but only under the condi- tion that she would receive at least one nomination. Two days later after receiving the letter, Tom Bliley gave her his nomination after Caren had been interviewed several times by Bliley’s review board. | Caren immediately sent the — nomination to West Point and was readily accepted. f In the past few years, the field of opportunities has been opened greatly for women, Caren Goode is one young - lady who is willing to take ad- — vantage of opportunities intro- duced to her. a a + ae ) ) ; ) - et = i ee oO ; ) : : ; - Sherry Ann Phillips: Theater Society 11 IZ eGOE 12, Robert Scott Phipps: Julie Anne Pinkard: FCA 9, Track 9, V. | 9, 10, 11, 12; Spanish Club 9 Wendy Ellen Pohlig: Drama Clu JV Field Hockey 10; French Cli er 10; V.

During the fall, the school tors 11 12 Or ate, was gearing itself up for the visiting committee in charge of accreditation. Simultaneous- ly, the question of senior privi- ledges was also placed be- fore the administration. In re- sonse to a government study that only fourteen minutes of class time is spent in study, the traditional senior allowance of a early break for lunch was scrapped in order to keep derelicts from roaming in the halls prior to lunchtime. Along with an admitting sparse crop of other privileges, the lunchtime “‘injustice’’ has a rallying point for an otherwise unmotivated class. But rather than protest wild- ly the perceived injustice, the Class of ’84 followed the ad- ministrations advice to be “nice” to other classes and remain passive. While class competition may in fact look outwardly like a revolution on the brew, it is in actuality a demonstration of Capitalistic competition in ac- tion, something to be encour- 12; NHS 11, 12; Junior NV Honor Society 11, 12; German Club 12;H Mark Andrew Poley: JV Football 12; German Club 1 2 Sallie Jane Posenau: FBLA 12: C Laura Almyra Powell: DECA 1 Mark Thomas Price: Rebecca Kaye Price: FBLA 10 12: Spanish Club 10, 11; William Loyal Pridgen: Wanda Pulley: French Club 9 Mia Kristina Ra: SCA Rep. 9, 10; French Clut 11,.12; Drama Club 9; Gy istics 9, Field Hockey 10, 11, 12; SODA 11 Fashior RE 8 EE SAREE EEE PE EE A SI EES aged, not repressed.

Whose else but the Juniors’ would be the task of creating the Junior and Senior Prom? Early this fall, the five Junior Class Officers were deciding the Prom theme. They all be- lieved that this year’s prom was the best Monacan had ever seen. With the support and help of the Junior Class, Mrs. Miller, the Junior Class sponsor, Mrs. Dufour, the Ju- nior Class co-sponsor, and the faculty, there was no reason why this year’s prom should not have been the best Mona- can had ever seen. Well, when the Junior Class Officers were not yet concern- ing themselves with the Home- coming float or Prom, they were preparing the Junior Class for receiving their high school rings. This was, and still is, a very special time, next to graduation, during one’s high school years. An issue that pressed the Junior Class Officers was the death of Junior, Chris Berry. He passed away this past summers as a result of a drowning accident. All of the Junior Class Officers: Leslie Belsha, Nina Ipsen, Maya Lear, Irene Dalton, 160 Juniors Junior Class was very con- cerned and horror stricken by his death and wished to do something in memory of Chris. In order to make everyone of the Junior Class feel as if he or she aided in the purchase of Chris’ memorial, the Junior Class Officers collected mon- ey from each of the junior class homerooms over a peri- od of a week. Much to the offi- cers surprise, they collected over two hundred dollars; which was enough money to purchase the beautiful sundia l that was placed in the upper class courtyard. Before the conclusion of their Junior year, the Junior Class Officers were asked what their goals were for the rest of their Junior year. They answered by saying that they wanted to create a fantastic prom, create more participa- tion among the Junior Class. Well they certainly did suc- ceed in the completion of their goals. Whether the Junior Class realizes it or not the Ju- nior year was and still is one of the toughest years in high school. With the Class of 85 it has gone by exceptionally smooth, thanks to their h ard work, cooperation, and ef- forts. Mary Ann James.

A major consideration many colleges look for is that a stu- dent is well-balanced. Melissa Chatfield is a Monacan Junior who has tried to balance ath- letics, school work, and extra- Curricular acitivites to give her a better looking application than other students. A famous proverb says that a ‘‘healthy body keeps a healthy mind’. Melissa has kept fit by playing softball ona Chesterfield County team since the sixth grade and this may have helped her keep an “A-B”’ average throughout her schooling. Her need for aca- demic excellence and vigor- Ous Course work has led her to plan on attending William Mary and majoring in research biology. A successful future is re- flected by her very successful high school career in various theatre productio ns. ‘‘Pip- pin’, in which she performed as the female lead, is perhaps the musical she is best known for. She has contributed her talents to many other Mona- Can productions such as ‘“‘Funny Girl’’, Diamond Studs’’, and this year’s ‘‘H.M.S. Pinafore’’. Her participation in these productions probably stems from her musical talent. Sing- ing in the chorus, in which she was honored by taking part in All-Regional and All-County, and the Chamber Ensemble along with playing in the Hand- bell Choir, all helped her to perfect her natural ability to perform on stage. In speaking of Mr. Graham, the one person who has helped Melissa de- velop all of her talents, she says, “‘l greatly respect Mr. Graham for his musical talents and feel that | have benefitted from his efforts towards di- recting us (Chamber Ensem- ble).”’ M-I-C’..... A mouser to the end, Melis- sa shows off her latest garb. poe Juniors 163 Bo Speaks Today, it seems like most people are riding the band- wagon. That is, everybody is trying to be ‘‘in’’ with today; for example, miniskirts, Cama- flouge pants, and O.P’s. There seems to be no end to this fashion wave. But, there is al- ways one person who stands out from the ‘‘crowd.’’ One of these unique people is Bo Ar- tabazon. When Bo dresses, he does not try to appeal to the other students, rather to him- self. But one always wonders, ‘‘Where did he get his ideas of dressing from?”’ Well, Bo says that his style of fashion mostly 164 Juniors A Real Individual. Yot only does Bo Artabazon express himse Peset his dress, but through, his ability. _— For Himself originates from the music that he listens to. He considers it as one of the biggest influ- ences on him overall. Never- theless, a true observer can notice that he makes a style of his own. Bo does not consider himself as an outcast to other people, but as a conformist to a smaller society. Moreover, Bo does not ex- press himself in his dress code alone. His speech is filled with conformity and a sense of ‘‘belonging’”’ to this smaller society. Whatever Bo seems to do, he is a person who speaks for himself.

However, some of our most suc- cessful athletes come from others, poorly termed, minor sports. Two ex- amples are juniors Donna Ladner and Robyn Shaw, members of the girls gymnastics team. Donna, a native of Pennsylvania, began participating in gymnastics in the sixth grade and competition in the ninth. When her family moved to Ches- terfield two years ago, she became a member of the Olympic Club, a local gymnastics organization. According to Donna her favorite events are the bars and the vaults as one can tell by her performances. She placed fourth at the Regionals and sixteenth at the State Championship meet. Donna’s Dedicated Athletes goal is to attend North Carolina State University and major in mechanical en- gineering. Robyn, on the other hand, has been competing in gymnastics for four years. She says she became interest- ed in gymnastics when she saw alive competition while on summer vaca- tion. Robyn enjoys the floor exercise the most and she placed second at the Regionals. Gymnastics is not the only extra-curricular activity she par- ticipates in. She is also German Club Historian and a volunteer instructor at the YWCA. She, too, hopes to attend North Carolina State University. Both of these girls reflect the qual- ity and dedication of all Monacan ath- letes, in both major and minor sports, as they strive to improve themselves and their school. Juniors As you go from class to class, you seem to meet peo- ple whom you never forget. James Woo fits into this cate- gory. They sure broke the mold when they made James. Everyday, he greets his friends with jokes and laughs which always brightens a dull day. His friendly smile and in- nocent questions charm his friends and teachers alike. Mrs. Showalter knows this better than any other teacher. James baked her a batch of cookies out of pure care and consideration — yet others called him a pure ‘‘brown- nose.”’ For instance, Mr. Tan- A Fun Guy. The personality of junior James Woo makes him a guy hard to forget. 168 Juniors Fun Games With James ton, James’ sponsor and guide for the Legend, can always put in a good comment on his good manners and extreme kindness to all. His outward reach and respect for people of all ages surely sets James above many. Mrs. Bomboske, Monacan’s debate and foren- sics coach, realizes how well James can communicate with others, and she wants him to express himself further by ex- tending his debating skills which would allow him to be included on the 1984-’85 for- ensics team. James is a very special guy whom many of us will always remember and we will always look forward to his next laugh and smile in the Monacan hall- ways.

Well, for Mike Winecki, a 6’ 6” junior on the varsity basketball team, it was a reality. He was able to make two pressure free-throws with only a few seconds left in the game to beat Trinity by only one deci- sive point. Mike can be de- scribed as an all-around dedi- cated basketball player. Whenever he is on the court, Mike contributes a great deal to the team. This year, he led the Chiefs with an impressive average of 9.4 rebounds a game. Going Up For The Shot Furthermore, he was sec- Ond in scoring with an average of 16.3 points a game giving him a shooting percentage of 59% from the floor and a 74% average from the free-throw line. Mike’s outstanding per- formances are not from pure luck, but from pure talent. He practices about 15 hours ev- ery week so that he can be twice as better as he was be- fore. After high school Mike plans to extend his basketball career in college. Afterwards, he plans to either play profes- sional basketball or go into a Career in business. Whatever he does, surely, Mike will truly succeed in it!

People ev- erywhere are striving to learn the new street dance. Al- though it has just recently be- come popular, breakdancing really began a long time ago. According to some, break- dancing first developed with the Three Stooges, who cre- ated flexible, rhythmic move- ments for humor; apparently, they unwittingly started a dance trend. The street gangs in New York City then picked it up and turned them into a dance that has spread across the country. Monacan, too, has felt the impact of the new art; it is no longer very unusual to see var- ious students spinning and gy- rating on the floor of the Com- mons after school. Sopho- mores Charles Jackson and Orlando Alston are two excel- lent examples of those that have been breakdancing since it first became a craze. Without lessons, they have turned their hobby into a talent Sophomores that many of their peers enjoy to watch. Charles and Orlando danced at school pep rallies and in the Spring musical, HMS Pinafore. They also par- ticipated in the school Talent Show in which they won Sec- ond Place. As well as breakdancing at school, Charles has partici- pated in a contest at Durham. Orlando has been a part of shows at both Cloverleaf Mall and Regency Square and has also performed in a contest at 2001 Supper Club. In addition, he teaches breakdancing to other young people. By doing so, he hopes to contribute his talents to the spread and growth of this enjoyable and unusual hobby. Thus, Monacan’s afficiona- dos of a nationwide fad, Charles and Orlando, truly demonstrate that students can be skilled and creative in areas that, while not exactly school related, do serve to make high school life a bit more bearable. Latest Fad. Stepping forward to re- ceive their second place award in-the Talent Show, Charles and Orlando -ean be proud of their breakdancing abilities.

It is the best way, she has felt, to express herself; and al- though it is difficult and time consuming, Maria enjoys dancing very much. Twice a week she takes classes in ballet, tap, toe, and jazz. Her most difficult classes seem to be tap and ballet, and her fa- vorite is jazz. Maria has attended a dance convention in New York City for six years, which she says has improved her dancing. She has been able to learn new steps and methods of dancing. Also, she was crowned the Dance Student of the Year in 1981 in her danc- ing school. An exciting benefit of dancing is the ability to per- fo rm. Maria has participated in a fund-raiser, and has per- formed in the Talent Show at Keep Dancing school with her sister, Teresa, for the past two years. Dancing is an important part of Maria’s life. She considers dancing professionally but re- alizes that there are many oth- er talented young people searching for the spotlight as well. Maria knows that to be a famous dancer takes luck and she may not get lucky. Even if she does not turn profession- al, Maria would like to teach dance or have a career that would allow her time to dance on the side. She would also like to pursue drama and act in a musical. Whatever Maria’s choice, she is sure to keep dancing as an important part of her life. Keeping With The Beat. Dancing is an important part of Maria's life, and she hopes to dance professionally one day.

Though the season, Octo- ber through April, is over for the ‘‘Battle of the Brains,’’ John is really looking forward to next year. He said next year Great Potential For Brains Monacan’s team has the po- tential of reaching first place, especially since the team is not losing any of it’s members. In the fast-paced action of “Battle of the Brains’’ compe- tition, one must be able to re- call quickly and have a vast knowledge of trivia, especially of historical trivia since that is what is mainly asked. When asked if he felt intimi- dated by the cameras, people, and the pressure of being a team member, he replied, ‘‘It never really bothered me.’’ He said that as long as he was able to answer the first ques- tion he would be alright.

Hard work- outs and early morning prac- tices are usually found in the training to be a swimmer. Deb- bie, a Sophmore this year, practices almost every after- noon in addition to practicing from 4:00 AM to 6:30 AM three times a week. Many people such as Deb- bie fail to recognize and ac- knowledge the amount of time and effort that is put into swim- ming. By lifting weights, eating right, and running, Debbie puts in many hours to help her swimming. Although much hard work and training goes into swimming, the most re- warding part in swimming to Debbie is meeting and com- en 180 Sophomores Spirit of Swimming peting with people. She has met heavy competition statewide as well as interna- tionally. Debbie feels that she has learned what it means to feel responsible through her swimming. It has also given her a sense of self-achieve- ment while she benefits her- self physically and emotional- ly. Most of all, Debbie enjoys working with other swimmers as a team and she feels that they should be recognized. It is easy to see why Debbie isa winner; it is because of her true spirit and dedication to- ward her team. Home Away from Home.

The new student does not conform to any of the old categories that used to be set as identities of students. The categories such as ‘“jocks’’ or ‘‘bookworm’”’ can- not be used to classify the new student. This student is a mix- ture of intelligence and athle- tic ability. Many students at Monacan are these types of students. They are the ones colleges call ‘‘well rounded.’’ Perhaps this is why students are trying to become the ‘‘new breed,”’ in order to have better looking Ce 3 k mete + : Ye s aa 4 m fo ite: , ay ‘ei rs ee at ki mM Saree Saas ae 182 Freshman transcript, and to develop fully all of their potentials.

Kim Johnson surely holds this spe- cial talent when it comes to playing the piano. She began playing the piano in the fourth grade. While waiting for her mother who helps out at a kin- dergarten, she began playing a piano located in the kinder- garten section of Crestwood Elementary. Seeing that Kim was becoming more and more interested in playing, her par- ents bought Kim a grand pi- ano. Kim practices every day for about one to two hours. Since Kim attended concerts, tedious recitals, and theory exams, she is now considered an advanced pianist by many. Furthermore, she was hon- ored by a national piano maga- zine. Kim also is a member of the Richmond Music Teach- er's Association has has earned over twenty certifi- cates. Kim, in addition to this, is a pianist for the Epworth Choir at Bon Air United Meth- odist Church. Moreover, she has been ranked as superior at piano auditions for five years. Although Kim admits piano playing takes a lot of patience, Kim enjoys it very much. As one can see, Kim is very dedi- cated and serious about her music. Patience And Practice. Playing the piano takes patience and practice, as exhibited by Kim Johnson. Freshman 185 sports, foo a ables year roun fe.

Whether it is football, racquet- ball, basketball, or even jog- ging. Well, for Mike Holley it is all of the above. This year, his first at Monacan, Mike has participated in several extra- Curricular activities. In the Fall, he played foot- ball for Monacan on the J.V. team. He played as a tight-end and as a defensive end. After football, Mike focused his at- tention to the J.V. basketball team where he played as a forward. After these sport seasons were over, he knew he must keep in shape. He 186 Freshman joined a conditioning program in which he lifts weights ap- proximately twelve hours a week. Many high school students try to find an average balance between athletics and intel- lectual achievements but Mike has gone beyond the average into the above average. His honor roll grades, along with athletic achievements in school sports, as well as ac- tivity he enjoys non-competi- tively, Mike will definitely have a record that will look well for anything he plans to do after high school. tee br a ee ee Kim Johnson Philip Johnson Rufus Johnson Susan Johnson Thomas Johnson James Jones Kim Jones Mark Jones Tim Jones Tracey Jones Russell Jordan Dana Jorgenson Sarah Judd Karen Kahahauser John Kassanove Raymond Keevins Jennifer Keitz Chris Kelly John Kelly Lea Keritsis Ron Kidd David King Kelly� King Patrick King Pamela Klein Karen Kocher Heather Kostyniuk Jonathan Kronimus Christophe Lamb Rodney Lambert Corey Landrum Kenneth Langston Blake Larose Michael Larue Anne Lavy Amanda Lawrence Melanie Lawrence David Lee Kwang Lee Mary Lee Quenton Lee Pamela Leggett Shane Leipertz Andrea Lester Tamara Lewis Elise Linder Danelle Lippin Kenneth Litten Rodney Lockett Linwood Logan Timothy Logan Kim Londan Melanie Long Angela Lordi Shannon Lowery Aubrey Lucy Kathleen Magin Scott Majcher Michael Malinsky Robert Manley Carrie Mariner Paul Marks Daniel Martin Davis Martin Martha Martin Matthew Martin Christophe Maslyk Cheryl Mason Lisa Mayhall Indrani Mazumder Sharon McCall John McCallum Kim McCormick Jennifer McCuen Lee McDaniel Christine McDavid Sean McGinley Sam Mcintyre Donald McKinney William McKinney aah =. ra ba 4 - Caroline Mcllean Jeff McManus Mark McNeil Eric Mead Kristen Mead Cheryl Menke Christophe Metcalf Hubert Metten James Miles Kim Miller Greg Mitchell John Monahan Gary Moore Raymond Morgan Tina Morrell Thomas Morris Tracy Morris Kyle Moseley Christine Murphey Mark Murphy Shawn Murray Michael Musselwhite Sarah Nan Amy Nash Freshman 187 Nancy Needham Clayton Neil William Nelms Robin Nelson Timothy Nemceff Gregory Newman Amy Newsome William Newton Gina Nicely Amy Norris Angela Northey Michael Novak Vincent Nowinski Megan O'Donnell Richard O'Hallaron Gretchen Olsen Jeff Packer Mary Parker Michael Parker Stephanie Parker Bruce Peachee Eric Pearn Keith Perry Lisa Pershan Michael Peterman John Peters Henny Pettite William Pettite Carlton Phillips Stephen Phillips William Phillips Lisa Phipps Daniel Piercy Robinett Pittman Julia Poland William Porter Ann Powell Staci Price Sean Pridgen Steven Pugh Stephanie Putney John Quinley Holly Rast Stephanie Reed Lisa Regan Peter Reil David Richards Darrel Richardson Mark Rickman Paul Riddick Rebecca Riley Jennifer Ritchie Edward Rivas Joan Rivas Chris Robertson Chris Robertson Meredith Robinson Pamela Robinson Wendy Robinson Jason Roediger Walter Rogers Hope Royer Stephen Rusher Kelley Ruth Steve Ryan Christophe Saady Sigrid Salinas Laurie Sawyer Rebecca Schardt Gerald Schepker Dana Schumann Ann Scott 188 Freshmen Sharen Scott Donna Seldon Teresa Sellers Tracy Selph Evan Settle David Sharry Matthew Sheahan Steven Sheldon Stacy Sherron Susanne Shim Heider Shiner Elaine Shirah Jennifer Shives Beth Short Robert Skora Allison Slack Kellie Slack Tracy Slater Michael Smeltzer Christophe Smith Jennifer Smith Michelle Smith Ronald Smith Rudolph Smith Dania Smoak Larry Smoke Laurie Smoke Lori Smoak Philip Snead Larry Snellings Donna Soles Charles Sommardahl A Band of the future The Police, the Doors, and the Beatles are all big name rOGKSOLrOuDS. 1.0 this Jist, Freshman Dru Adams would someday like to add the Edi- cats, the name of the band for which he is the bass guitarist. Dru and his fellow band mem- bers have already made something of a name for them- selves among Monacan stu- dents. They have become a popular group, often heard at parties and community cen- ters in the area. Dru’s talents are not limited to the guitar. He also plays the saxophone, which he has been doing for three years. But that has been the extent of his formal musical training. The rest has come naturally, since Dru is gifted with the ability to play by ear. Pos- sessing this gift, though, has not exempted Dru from the strenuous routine of practice. The Edicats get together to practice several times a week. In addition, Dru devotes several more hours a day to practicing at home. While Dru’s desire to pursue a musi- cal career consumes most of his time, he did manage to play J.V. basketball last sea- son. Asked about his favorite style of music, Dru names rockabilly, which he says he likes because of its strong beat and an association with the early roots of rock and roll. Mostly, though, he likes play- ing the kind of music he knows his audience would enjoy. And someday, just maybe, he hopes that the audience will like the Edicats well enough to want to hear them at a major coliseum. The Edicats. Posing with the rest of his band members, Dru hope’s that one day they will hit the big time. Freshmen 189 190 Freshman It's true — Melanie and Amanda Lawrence are not the same age; Melanie is older by three minutes. This technical- ity aside, the problems these girls face are for the most part inherent to all twins; namely, sharing the same birthday and coping with the sterotype that all twins are genetically, men- tally, and physically identical. And even though they are fra- ternal twins, not identical ones, several coincidences in interests and activities cause other people at school to do, if one will pardon the pun, a dou- ble-take. For example, both girls are SCA homeroom representa- tives and members of the French Club. Both play piano (though Melanie has been in- terested longer than Amanda) and both have received supe- rior ratings at the biannual pi- ano competition at the Univer- sity of Richmond. Outside of school, both girls are active in A Double-Take the youth choir and youth group of their church. Addi- tionally, Amanda is a member of church’s youth council. For the future, the twins both plan to attend four year colleges. Lest a reader think that Me- lanie and Amanda are, in fact, identical, the girls do have enough differences betwixt them so as to convince an im- partial observer that the fam- ilies not just trick done with mirrors. Amanda likes science and history, while Melanie en- joys math and working with computers. In fact, she plans on attending the Virginia Tech Computer Camp this summer. While Melanie cross-stitches and enjoys reading and col- lege basketball (especially the University of North Caroli- na Tarheels), Amanda is not ‘in’ to books and is not, in her words, a ‘basketball fanatic.”’ Instead, Amanda participates actively in cheerleading, and was selected this Spring to be ‘| � Par — a member of next year’s J.V. cheerleading squad. Though their interests and activities are obviously quite varied, the Lawrences cope with the previously mentioned problems of ‘‘twinship”’ rather well, perfering not to think of themselves as twins but as sisters and best friends. They confide in each other and when one has a problem with schoolwork, the other is usu- ally ready and willing to help. And so Melanie and Amanda Lawrence are able to overlook the occasional eccentricity of being twins, and can make the experience one of chance happiness of having a close friend and relative who just happens to have the same birthday.

The Senior Banquet was to mark the beginning of the end. It was the first of the Senior activities that preceeded the long awaited moment — graduation. The Seniors moved into the room and min- gled with friends, finally taking their seats, eager for the night’s festivities to begin. Senior class President Hunter Applewhite made a few remarks of welcome, and Kris- ten Hargrave followed with a prayer of thanks for the even- ing and for the past four years. The dinner began with salad followed by a main course of New York Strip steak. The class of 1984 enjoyed the meal but were anxious for the entertainment to begin. Dawn Adkins, John Beckner, and Rick Bauer took the stage and immediately captured the Seniors attention with the song ‘‘Sugar Mountain.’’ Some of the Seniors were even roused from their seats and began dancing in the aisles as John and Rick played guitar and Dawn sang her version of “Good Lovin’ ”’ Bonnie McDuffee, Sarah Moore, Doug Langston, and Patrick Williamson took cen- ter stage to present the Su- perlatives. Among the recipi- ents were Senior class Presi- dent, Hunter Applewhite, “Most Serious’, and ‘‘Most Likely to Succeed,’’ Hunter was later prophesized to be Governor of Virginia; Sarah Moore and Jeff Slater ran away with ‘‘Most Athletic’’ and Mary Norford was voted ‘‘Big- gest Brown Nose,”’ and ‘‘Wit- tiest’’ And so went the evening as John Anderson ap- proached the microphone to read the last will and testa- ment. Many people left their friends the reminders of ‘‘Pri- vate Jokes”’ and high hopes for the future. For example, three friends of Bonnie McDuf- fee even left her the hopes for success in life, which covered both private humor and hope- ful wishes. Last but definitely not least of the evening was the proph- ecy, presented by Leslie Spei- gel. Much time and effort went into her prophecy for the class of 1984. We will all have to pa- tiently wait to see how much of her “insight” into the future comes true. The evening drew to aclose with Hunter Applewhite thank- ing everyone for making the evening such a success. The efforts of banquet Chairman Jacqui Smith and her commit- tee — Kathryn Settle, Julie Pinkard, Leslie Spiegel, Liz Selby, Chris Ockler, and Aly- soun Richards — were cer- tainly not in vain. The memo- ries of the Senior Banquet will remain with all the Seniors along with the rest of the good times the class of ’84 shared. | A Class Greeting.

Sayonara Seniors Capturing a touch of the Ori- ent to most would appear as an impossible feat, but not for this year’s junior class. The Juniors created an astonish- ing prom that would not soon be forgotten. Using Sayonara as this year’s Prom theme, the Juniors were able to display many aspects of the Japa- nese Culture, from a beautiful Japanese pagoda at the en- trance to a huge portrait of a typical Japanese scene with pagodas, bridges, water, mountains, and a beautiful sunset. Never before has an entrance into the school been so grand as this particular one. As the doors were opened by two Karate professionals each couple was engulfed by a beautiful display of kites of all styles, shapes, and colors. The entrance to the dance floor was a depiction of a beautiful Japanese garden with everything from a pool with goldfish to a bamboo archway. Nothing at all was left out of this evening. The Ju- niors remembered the mystify- ing lanterns, the delicate para- sols, the bold banners. with words unknown even to their writers, the fine silk screens, and even the fortune cookies. The Juniors, wanting to cap- ture the true romance of Ja- pan, with every intricate deta il succeeded in accomplishing their goal. They were com- mended by the band Casper, the seniors, and the faculty alike. Nina Ipsen, the Junior Class President, introduced the 1984 figure with Senior Class President, Hunter Applewhite and his date, Leslie Spiegel at the head. Surprisingly 1984’s prom had the most people that have ever attended a prom at Monacan. Everyone was truly impressed by the portraits of the Orient and the chosen band Casper. The Juniors did well in saying Sayonara (Fare- well) to the Class of 1984 and in wishing them good luck in all they do. Cooling Off.

With his humorous, yet touching, poem, Chris Hughes helps the Seniors relive their years at Monacan. One More Time. By the time Michael Halle finished receiving awards, he was able to count among his posses- sions five honors presented to him on Class Day. Bidding The final weeks of the Class of 1984’s Senior year pro- vided each student with a wealth of memories upon which to reflect fondly. June 5, 1984 will certainly stand out as a day of both sorrow and excitement — a fitting prelude to graduation. For some, who proved lucky enough to exempt from all exams, Class Day truly was the end of the school year; for all it marked a ceremonial finish. On the morning of June 5, the halls filled with girls in white dresses and boys in ties. With the restlessness of the Seniors, classes provided only a pretense under which students could visit with each other and prepare for the afternoon’s assembly. Follow- ing sixth period the Seniors re- ported to the gym where genu- ine chaos followed until every- one had found the appropriate escort and lined up. Finally, led by the Class Officers and directed by the Junior Mar- shals, the Seniors moved to the auditorium. The assembly was opened by Class President Hunter Ap- plewhite and a beautiful song from Pippin by the Chamber Ensemble. Next onthe agenda was the poem by Class Poet Chris Hughes. Combining hu- mor with gravity, Chris cre- ated an outstanding poem. Then, in rapid succession, honors were bestowed upon worthy Seniors. Notably, two Farewell military academy appoint- ments were made — one by Monacan alumnus Barry Cle- ments from the United States Military Academy to Caren Goode and the other from the United States Air Force Acad- emy to Matt Cushman. Multi- ple winners included Michael Halle, for whom a seat on the stage should have been pro- by vided; Wendi Pohlig, who was presented with, among other honors, the Valedictorian Award; and Hunter Apple- h white, who was named Out- , standing Graduate. One very special award was given with love and appreciation to Mr. Bill Broaddus, Senior Class Sponsor, without whose sup- port and understanding the Class of 1984 could never have achieved the things it did. The diversity of the awards, from scholarship to service to academic to athle- tic, and the number of different students receiving these awards proved the ability and the talent of the graduates of 1984.

Baccalaureate Time of Fellowship Is A Prelude To Graduation Occasionally even the Sen- iors themselves were a bit be- wildered by the abundance of ceremonies and traditions that accompanied the close of their high school careers. The Baccalaureate service, held the Sunday before Com- mencement, was a notable ex- ample: many Seniors ques- tioned the purpose of the whole ceremony. As they soon found out, Baccalaureate is simply a reli- gious service which serves as a kind of tranquil prelude to that most blessed event, graduation. It is a time to gath- er the class together, along with their families and friends, to quietly search their own hearts in the presence of their creator. The students may also gain insight from the ser- mon traditionally preached to them at the service. This description was pre- Preparations. The time immediately before Baccalaureate was used for the visiting, primping, and thoughful reflection that awaited these Seniors. cisely filled on June 10 at Rev- eille Methodist Church. Due to excellent preparation by Mr. Broaddus and his trusty Junior Marshals, the seniors were free to adjust their caps, laugh with friends, or simply ponder the impending phenomenon as they lined up tp process in. When they finally made their entrance, it was into an im- pressive sanctuary filled to overflowing. The congregation joined in praise by singing “God of Our Fathers,’’ and then solemnly listened to the Reverend Michael Murphy’s Invocation, which came not only from his own heart but also from the famous words of St. Francis. The Monacan Chamber Ensemble contribut- ed two anthems before Mr. Mi- chael Parker began his ser- mon. If somewhat unorthodox, the sermon was nevertheless effective; the seniors listened Fellowship. Whether its pinning a cap or standing by in times of trouble, the Class of 1984 learned the true mean- ing of friendship. attentively as Mr. Parker ad- vised them how to enjoy the beach and then led them on to realize the constantly pursu- ing pleasure leads not to hap- piness, but to emptiness. One must love and serve some- thing or someone greater than oneself in order to achieve ful- fillment and peace. This point was emphasized again in the duet song by Beth Mclver and Doug Langston, which described the wonder of friendships that last for- ever. Anyone witnessing the hugs, cheers, and tears out- side the church after the ser- vice would have had no doubt that the lesson struck home. The Class of 1984 may have been sharing one of its last times together, but it would never forget the love and fel- lowship that had brought it so far. Procession.

Practice Held In Sweltering Heat For most Seniors, June 12 was the day synonymous with graduation. However, the planning and preparation for that day actually predated even the beginning of school in August. Late in the summer, the Senior Class Officers met to discuss whom they thought the class would like to have speak at the Commencement Ceremony. The names of sev- eral prominent citizens were suggested, and, after further discussion with the Executive Committee, the name of Sena- tor Harry F. Byrd, Jr. was de- cided upon. The invitation was extended, and the former Vir- ginia Senator cordially ac- cepted. As Spring rolled around so did the time for the arrival of announcements and caps and gowns. These basic but indis- pensible elements of gradu- ation were distributed as Sen- iors began to turn their atten- tion toward the big day and toward the most important post-graduation activity — Fun In The Sun. Happy Seniors find relief from the heat by frolicking in the water from the sprinklers. the Beach. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity to some and an instant to others, June 12 was upon us. For Steve Finch and the members of his Graduation Committee, the day began at 7:00 AM. Platforms were con- structed, chairs were lined up, and the audio system was connected. As the mass of the Senior class began arriving at 10:00 they were greeted by the day’s heat which almost reached sweltering propor- tion. As the Seniors arrived, they were assembled in the theatre where Mr. Elliott and Mr. Broaddus discussed de- tails concerning the after- noon’s practice and the even- ing’s ceremony. The Seniors were then lined up alphabeti- cally, and they proceeded to the field as the anticipation became almost visible. During practice, each graduate went through the motions of receiv- ing his diploma as some Sen- iors, unable to stand the heat, played in the stadium’s sprin- Laid Back.

Practice ended with a reminder that graduates were to be in their homerooms by 7:00 that evening. To the outsider looking in, the scene at 7:30 graduation evening must have resembled near chaos, on the contrary, things were running very smoothly as a last minute roll call was taken and diplomas were readied for the final time. At 7:45, the graduates were lined up, and at 8:00 the pro- cession began. Seniors, pre- ceeded by the Junior Mar- shalls and mace-bearing, ris- ing Senior Class President James Woo, slowly filed into their pre-assigned seats as the faculty followed. The Com- mencement Exercises were opened by an invocation from Class Chaplain, Kristen Har- grave. Class President Hunter Applewhite followed with his address. He brought attention to the accomplishments of the Class while urging the gradu- ates to accept the future with independence and truth of thought and character, and with courage. He closed by urging the Seniors to always remember the friendships they had formed. The guest speak- er, Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr. followed. In his address, he brought attention to the issue of the national deficit and urged the graduates to take part in the governmental pro- cess. The ceremony was brought to a close as Mr. Mi- chael Parker gave the bene- diction and Mr. Elliott pro- nounced the Class of 1984 graduated. As the graduates went about the receiving of congratulations, they also be- gan a new Stage of their lives. Regardless of what the future holds for them, though, they will always have the memories of Monacan High School and the light of these memories to guide their way. The Final Moments.

Just as there are certain elements that make a school work, there are also certain elements that make a community work. On the following pages are the evidences of generous patronage from the area’s merchants, doc- tors, and various other professionals. Note those who have made such a much needed (and greatly appreciated) contribution to making the year- book work. Not only do these businesses serve the community, they also directly help many Monacan students by providing employment. From one end of the county to the other, Monacan students are found in various Ukrops grocery stores, several McDonald’s restaurants, and Sunday drugstores and places of private enterprize. For the experience and the wages, Monacan students thank the different establishments for letting (or making) them work. From a school whose tradition is excellence to entrepreneurs whose tradition is excellence — thank you. All those found on the ads pages have done much to make Monacan and the community work.

As always the beginning of the year looked promising; many students showed an interest in helping with the book. As the year continued, the number of will- ing helpers dwindled to a very few dedicated staff members. These members deserve much more than simple thank you. Three people who stand out in my mind are Mike Halle, Bonnie McDuffee, and Mr. Tom Tanton. Mike Halle, our pho- tographer, is to be thanked for the wonderful pictures in this book. He dedicated a great deal of time taking, develop- ing, and printing pictures to be used in the book. Bonnie McDuffee, our Copy Editor, did a splendid job bringing the theme, ‘‘Making It Work,’’ alive in the articles she wrote and rewrote for the book. Fi- nally, Mr. Tom Tanton who was always there to calm me when | turned a minor problem into a major ordeal. He has been very helpful in making the 1983-84 Legend possible. All Dressed Up. The girls dressed in white, and the guys wearing ties made the Seniors look very impressive as they lined up for the Class Day assem- bly. Covering all the activities, organizations, assemblies, and sports events was made easier by those people who wrote articles for this book. | wish more people would take an interest in the yearbook. Putting together a layout en- tails a lot of involved work. You must have an article, pic- tures, Captions, and a head- line for each spread. Each ele- ment must be fitted on the page, the article written, edit- ed, and typed; the pictures, taken, developed, printed, and cropped; and the captions and headline arranged on the page carefully before you have a completed spread. It is your yearbook and | hope that more of you become involved in helping put the book together in the future. My thanks again to those who committed their time, en- ergy, and creativity to making the Monacan Legend a suc- cess. We hope the book cap- tures some of our fondest memories, those you will al- ways treasure. Jacqui Smith Editor 83-84 Uniqueness Of Students Making Monacan work is no easy task. Obviously, a great deal of work and blessing are necessary in making a success of each individual part of the school. The components on the 1983-84 school year, however, ne- glected to acknowledge any difficulty and, without a doubt, made Monacan work. At the heart of making Mona- can work are the giving and receiving of wisdom. Whether it is the calm un- derstanding of an administrator or the demanding knowledge of an instruc- tor, wisdom concerning facts and re- lationships has built a foundation at Monacan that has the ability to weather incorrigible or apathetic op- position. With strong and sagacious leadership, students themselves have the example of the organization, Caring, and wisdom that make Mona- can work to draw upon in any chosen endeavor. = Students.
