Years mark changes When the name Putnam City West is heard by an outsider it may be thought of as just another name, but to a Patriot it's not just a name, it's a reality. A reality growing yearly over the past ten years through - Phase 2, completion of the two levels known as J and K halls and a court- yard bell, in 1970, sit- ting area in the front drive 1972, an audito- rium and revolving pods, 1974, and in classes. Each of these devel- opments has helped West to grow and turn images into a reality. 1978 two rows of park- ing space were added. Land was purchased for future parking areas, tennis courts were built and the Li- brary media center re- ceived machines called the 'micro fiche for student reference use. West has become a big place not just in size but in enrollment as well. At the school's opening in 1968, 836 students found their ways through the halls. ln1979,2075 stu- dents competed in the hourly switch of ff ff? SS' 154, iilltiftk 5 'Q KT ,' ' ' ff 'T' w i ' .- 1.

Get it together 2 Getting on the bull is a lot easier than staying on as found out by sophomore Tony West. Cowboys, goatropers, kickers, just a few names of a group that makes up a part of West. The Rodeo Club was formed for the first year with Mr. Jim Brown as sponsor. Girls got together with the guys in the club of Fel- lowship of Christian Ath- letes. They had meetings separate from the boys and meetings just with the girls. They also held meet- ings together. One of their activities was a hayrack ride at Pleasurama Acres on November 18. Another new addition to clubs was Future Certified Public Accountants. Mrs. Jeannette Shadid spon- sored the club which in- cluded the Accounting I and II classes. Senior Bart Boatright drew up the con- stitution and helped orga- nize the club. A new class offered at West was Vocational Car- pentry. It was taught in both morning and after- noon classes. Five microfiches were a new addition in the library. These were given to the school from the Senior Class of 1978. College cata- logs, career material, ten years of back issues on Newsweek, part of which were given by the seniors, are a few of the things available on microfiche. Other magazines are U.S. News Today and Psychol- ogy Today. Some of the magazines obtained this year will be all on micro- fiche and some will be both the magazine and micro- fiche. A few of the advan- tages are if the magazine falls apart, the microfiche is available, or if the maga- zine is already checked out, it also saves a lot of storage space. It was a very un- usual giftffor the seniors to give, said Mrs. Gayle Miller, librarian. They were thinking of all the other students in future years in hope that it would help them in research. More microfiches are ex- pected to be obtained in the near future. Get It Together Clubs And Curriculum
