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. Sophomores Were

MELISSA ; =e Pre ro tebaca ile A : ;, j ohn Ragmussen ADAM support. a a ee ders a que s to the Tee a Monacan’s ‘‘Battle of the Brains’’ team again lost out this year from finishing in first place by a “‘stroke of misfor- tune.’’ As John Rasmussen, a ‘Brain’? team member, put it, “it was a rebuilding year, for last year Monacan lost it’s whole team because of gradu- ating Seniors.”’ This year the team under went a whole new change, it took Mrs. Smith on as the team coach, Adam Nan as team captain (a Junior), Andy West as a team member ( a Junior), Greg Reynolds and John Rasmussen (both Soph- omores). 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. Being a star in his own right, John considers it an honor to be a member of the ‘‘Battle of the Brains’’ team here at Mon- acan. ae Me Laura Leasburg Jenny Lloyd Anne Martin Wanda Leigh Richard Lloyd John Mather Kelley McClain Matthew McClist Andrea Lenhart Michelle Loan Mark Mathers Bruce McCloy Ben Lent Erin Lombardo David Matney John McCluskey Robinne Lightfoot Sonji Long Kevin Mawyer Brian McCormacl Bob Linkonis Jodi Lumpkin Brenda Maxey Terra McDonald Joe Little Carin Lynch Tarnetta Mayfield Brian McGuire Ginny Littlejohn William Marchese Karen McCallister Majorie McLain 178 Sophomores
