It is you, the students. You are West. These words echoed throughout a hushed gymnasium at our first pep assembly nine months ago. Without us students, West is indeed nothing, a mere skeleton without a personality. We have given it personality. We have given life, vitality, and spirit in everything we have done. While shouting during a close basketball game, we felt it. While crowding into an already packed gym for an assembly, we sensed it. Even while hurrying through a crowded stairwell or scrambling through the a la carte lunch line, we experienced the personality that envelops West, a personality unique to our school. At any other high school, a different mood prevailed: the feeling was not the same. West's personality was based on people. Although each one of us is a separate individual, we all contributed. No two people here were the same. Each person had different motivations, attitudes, and goals. Some may have had similar interests, but beyond tlzose similarities, everyone was unique. Everyone had their own direction that their life was taking, a course on which they were moving. Each one of our lives had a course that we chose. No matter this course, no matter our direction, we were all an essential part of West. We students, with all of our varied directions, made West unique. in QR 'iw i A F 1 i I I Y t-is 1 FR I V YI I 'fy X rv ' MAY A-- 1 K .

School becomes a significant part of our lives, and West is where we spent much of our time. Some of us used West to expand our directions, taking advantage of the opportunities offered. Others of us found what we were looking for outside of school, and West became our secondary interest. Either way, we received our rewards. Very few of us had actual glory or praise, hut we had a sense of accomplishment, a feeling of involvement. At school, if we were determined to do our best, we received a great amount of personal satisfaction, whether it came through grades, awards, or the kind words of our coaches or classmates. Because of our determination, we did succeed. The direction we took did not matter: our effort counted. 34- I5 f 1- L N-,,.. 'bf 5: S- ,gg-f .g..,e, -,- --' ' ..,l g, v 'Q . L i. , shui -. v . kv - -A '-R i For many of us, the groups we were involved in became a part of our direction. We found pleasure in interacting with others. Whether we were a member of the chess team, forensics, or VICA, we found companionship with people of similar interests. The group's size didn't matter: our feeling of belonging and contribution counted. Many chose sports to express themselves. We all wanted the interaction that groups gave us, but many needed a more physical part to play. Whether competing on a one-to-one basis, such as in swimming, or competing as part of a team, as in softball, we played to win, attempting to push ourselves to the limit. Competition gave us the chance to test ourselves through physical activity. To others of us, extracurricular activities were not so important. We sought our direction through a traditional approach to schoolp through the classes we took. We found solitary pursuits more challenging and rewarding: studying, reading, pursuing our own goal. Some chose to go out into the community. We became involved outside of school, perhaps as volunteers-for example doing church work, or we found part-time jobs. We contributed, and in doing so, learned by experience. Our reward for these activities could have been regular paycheck, or perhaps, the atisfaction of knowing that we were eeded. 0 nm ' :R -f i .WV 0 5 ,llr m U N, X H L x x 7 1, O . v , , is ': ' QF X, A 'f' FAI? ss ' .f lg .

Our friends affected us the most. We became like the people with whom we associated. We took the same classes, joined the same clubs, ate the same pizza, and many times did things we didn 't really want to do. Most of us had close friends, and all of us had casual acquaintances. Some we will remember, others we will not. But whether we had only one close companion, or the whole world was our friend, people had a great impact on our lives. Another group that affected us greatly was our teachers. We spent a lot of time listening to them. Through lectures covering the course, or through personal anecdotes or jokes, we grew to know and to respect them. A few dared to become our friends, respecting us for what we were. Those we remember, because to them, we were more than a job. They were there when we needed them. Through their help we were changed, and with us, our directions. .si . r- . . X . 'vs ax .' 5 3.is'.

At 'West, we were forjggourl-spirit, for pride in our school. We caretfwliat happened here. We supported each other in our pursuits, regardless of what they happened to he. Perhaps acceptability said more about West than anything else. No matter our direction, we were accepted at school. Cliques seemed weaker, and stereotypes were few. If this was true, then we do have much to he proud of: a friendly atmosphere in which our learning took place. We may all have different directions, but these directions came together to form West. Our friendliness, our spirit, and everything else that was unique to West was a result of the students and our directions. We have shaped West, and our directions have shaped us. We will never be the same again. 4', W . , ,,' as il ' ' -full Wit . , .., we- -, ,, - l 4 4 1 l X. -5 -1 t ss '1 C as ,Y . 3 Talzee ab Cautenlb Involvement Competition Happenings Expression Knowledge Faces Ads and Index 14 44 98 128 170V 4 196 304 P- f, 1 X, . -I ,,.V,q.dev-N J-34-9' -.- gc 'ff.?,.:,,,,-3+ 4 .Q P- .4-5, 1 7 7' YJ!

For most people, the time from lune to August is their favorite part of the year. Everyone tries to utilize this time away from school in a way that is both beneficial and fun. Some choose to take a iob while others loaf. The possi- bilities are endless. Summer is the season for swimming, water skiing, tennis, and other athletic activities. It also brings opportunities to view outdoor theatre and enjoy con- certs. Driving around often takes up many nights during summer. Many families also tra vel during the tourist season of the year. ln addition to fun activities, many opportunities open up. Some students remain being students by enrolling in summer school. Others take full or part- time jobs to save for some goal such as college or a car. Many new iobs are available, and the chances for extra hours increase. During the middle ofAugust, most people will find themselves wondering where the summer has gone, with school just around the corner again. And with the start ofschool we will begin thinking, Nine more months until summer vacation. . . I N ,Ar 1- 1 , ..f-.. .Xu . . 4 - ,.. .- . ., a.,V ' Q D , 1 . 1.

With thirty organizations from which to choose, most of us had no problem in selecting clubs suitable to us, ones in which we could feel comfortable. The groups we chose were a reflection of ourselves, and these groups, in turn, were a reflection of West. With the majority of the student body being involved in Pep Club, it wasn't hard for other schools to observe the awesome spirit we projected. Our directions led some to large groups, and others to smaller ones, but in one respect, we were the same. We saw the opportunities at West and took advantage of them. We became involved.

This group had tireless leaders: President Dave Boos, Vice President Teri Leckie, Treasurer Chet DeFonso, and Secretary Eva Allen. At semester, Teri Leckie stepped in as StuCo President. The officers met with Terry Herman seventh hour to evaluate past meetings and to plan upcoming ones. The officers started early to work for StuCo, as they attended summer conferences in Emporia, Kan- sas, and Cheley, Colorado. These summer camps brought students together from all over the U.S. All StuCo representatives went to a leadership conference at lohnson County Community College, tt as W C Te Left-During StuCo's United Way drive, three large jars sit in mute evidence of the high hopes for record contributions. 16 Student Congress IJBIDDI t di! where they listened to guest speakers and discussed involving every pupil in school activities. Student Congress became a better working group as a result of the IUCO conference. StuCo initiated and conducted many major pro- jects during the year. To raise money for the United Way Fund, Student Congress stageda telethon on the Bridge in which rock groups and singers performed for contributions. A slave auction aided the cam- paign. StuCo's other projects included the Blood- mobile, Sophomore Orientation, and the Christmas project to aid Cross-Lines. StuCo successfully planned and executed all of the dances, namely Homecoming, Sweetheart and the super-popular W. P.A., discos, and mixers.

This group was designed to spotlight intelligent and actively involved students. The method of choosing members has been under some criticism during the past few years. A commit- tee evolved to study the problem of entrance into the organization. The committee met during the summer and discussed the problems. The year proved decision-filled. One of the issues that raised some questions was the grade point average. The committee decided it needed to be raised, To strengthen the group, the grade requirement went up to 3.3. Presiding over the National Honor Society, Doug Nyberg received help from Vice President Chet DeFonso, Secretary Carrie Carpenter, and Treasurer Beth Ronning. The outstanding N.H.S. students chosen by the staff made up one of the leading groups at Shawnee Mission West. Many of the students involved in National Honor Society were active and gave of their productive talents in other school activities. The newest members were in- ducted into N.H.S. during the candlelit initiation ceremony held in the spring.

Obviously all students couldn't be athletes, so they combined themselves into Pep Club, the largest and most energetic organization at school. Their main function consisted of giving moral support and spirit for games. This year the roughly 7,600 members participated in fewer pep assemblies than ever before. Nevertheless, they still maintained a ter- rifically high level of enthusiasm. Pep Club had car rallies, buses to away games, and occasional decora- tions and posters on the bridge for various events. 22 Pep Club Students signified their membership in Pep Club by wearing their official Pep Club T-shirts. For the first time in recent years the design of the T-shirts was determined by a contest. Interested students submit- ted their ideas to the officers, who chose a caricature of Ferdlip. The officers played a key role in all of the Pep Club goings-on. lim Cum, Kevin McCracken, Allison McKim, and Beth Schumaker put hours of time and talent into each of the activities and two extremely important happenings of the year, the Homecoming and Sweetheart ceremonies. ----ning-u-,.

Qld .X- I 99 For traditional reasons, all schools choose a mascot, a character representative of the school that is supposed to bring good luck. These characters are seen most often at sporting events and pep assemblies, their iob being to promote pep. For the first years of West history, the mascot was a tall Viking named She-Mi-We-Vi, which was his nickname for Shawnee Mission West Vikings. With his structure made out of reinforced papier-mache, She-Mi-We-Vi stood about seven feet tall. Through predicted wear-and-tear came the need for a replace ment. From there evolved the idea for a new mascot, a character named Ferdlip. Since the change in mascots, Ferdlip has been rebuilt several times. A new model was used this year. His three main parts, the head, body, and feet, were made of foam rubber. This year Ferdlip became a celebrity, with his picture on the Pep Club T-shirts and spirit buttons. One student summed it up with, Everyone loves Ferdlip. --if I S, ' ,..f- ' w. W, Top-Learning that he is expected to perform for yet another half time performance, Ferdlip simp- ly becomes unglued.

The eight dedicated girls performed cheers they learned at camp this summer and developed a variety of new ones throughout the year. During the football season they were assisted in boosting enthusiasm by eight male yell leaders whom they chose from tryouts before the season began. Unfortunately the girls were not allowed to have any yell leaders during basketball season. In order to perfect and improve their cheering abilities, the girls practiced five days a week in the summer at the ungodly hour of 6:00 a.m. They also went to Tulsa University in Oklahoma for a National Cheerleading Association clinic. In order to go to the clinic, they had to raise money weeks in advance. They did this by having car washes on Wednesdays and Saturdays before the clinic. The girls stayed in Tulsa for five days. They received three blue ribbons on the three days of competition for outstanding ex- ecution of their cheers. They were awarded the spirit stick for being one of the most spirited squads and voted by all the other girls as being the squad they would like to model their own after. Besides putting countless hours in on practicing cheers, the girls en- couraged teams on to victory by painting signs and making buttons.

The yell leaders held their practices on Thursday mornings at 6:15 a.m. They utilized this time to make their yells enthusiastic and to obtain smooth lifts that didn't cause the cheerleaders to nose-dive into the pavement below. shirt under a yellow sweater vest, completed with a pair of black corduroy pants. Led by co-captains Chris Hueben and lim Cum, the group assisted the cheerleaders in the task of pro- moting spirit in the sometimes disappointed fans. They also helped provide a feeling of good sports- manship by sharing pre-game meals with the cheerleaders and yell leaders of the rival team.

Masterminds of fantasti nd im inative ars The enthusiastic Wargamers met on odd Fridays throughout the year with sponsor lack Ashmore to discuss their involvement in their favorite weekend pastime, the game of Dungeons and Dragons. Dungeons and Dragons players took on the role of a character from fantasy and science-fiction novels. The object of the game was to achieve wealth and power. The character attained these goals by entering drawn-up dungeons and defeating unearthly monsters to get the treasures they possessed. This game required an intense imagination for a person to succeed. The odds of success were limited and the competition great. The Wargamers played several games other than Dungeons and Dragons. They also played a series of Microgames: Death Test, Melee, and Wizard. Aspects from these games and science-fiction stories were borrowed and used in Dungeons and Dragons to make the game more diversified, challenging, and entertaining. Wargames 35 Gal unnerclassmen unite to exhibit snirit and nride Nothing could be finer than to be a seventy-niner'j or at least that was the thought of the Senior Cirls, displaying this statement on their '78-'79 Senior Cirls' shirt. ln the fall, Senior girls met under the leadership of Sallie Bier and Caroline Upton. These meetings were held in the morning to decide on the color, design, and style of their shirts. The girls decided on a white baseball shirt with blue sleeves bearing the slogan Nothing Could Be Finer Than to Be a Seventy-niner . Mr. Knutson , senior class spon- sor, aided the girls in organizing the committee. Senior girls served mainly as a spirit raising organization. They sat together at Pep Assemblies to show their school spirit and also the pride in being female members of the Senior Class at West. The group originated several years ago by the class of '76-'77 senior girls. its continuancy proves that spirit and pride prevail at our school among the gals in the upper-class. -.

The Categories team matched their wits against other Shawnee Mission schools in a quiz show-like situation. To prepare themselves for competitions in this fun and demanding pursuit, the Categories team met every two weeks with coach Al Brox to compare notes on past tournaments and to prepare strategies and formulate ideas for upcoming competitions. West hosted another group devoted to intellectual advancement, the Math Club. This club met with other Shawnee Mission teams and competed by solv- ing complex mathematical problems. The Math Club had several highly successful competition partners, doing well in most of the meets this year. The math men prepared weekly for the tournaments by study- ing the problems given on the Math Association of America Test with Mr. Happ. The minds that made up the Chess Club spent time perfecting old strategies and reflecting on new tac- tics. The Chess Club met after school every other Tuesday with sponsor Ted Glenn and had matches within the group as good team practice. The club took part in many chess meets involving schools in the Kansas City area. The matches required the Chess Club to rank its members so that players of equal ability would play one another.

Meeting once and on occasion two times a month, issues concerning parents and instructors of West students received discussion. A tea for former graduates occurred among other events benefitting the students of West. Appreciated by all, the new silver punch set and ladle got positive recognition during Open House when punch and cookies were served in the cafeteria. Win, lose, or draw, West is one of the best schools going, boasted Don Keller, head of the Booster Club, composed of dads. The club provided monetary support for all school-sponsored athletics. During the football season, members of the Booster Club gathered to watch the films of the previous week 's game. The club also purchased an ice machine for the football team. An ever present fix- ture in the enthusiasm of West, the Booster Club pro- vided a stable framework of backing for all the hard- working athletes. Every week on Thursday during sixth hour, the Cur- ricular Council met. The heads of each department combined ideas and brainwork in keeping the school running smoothly. lt's one of the most important school planning and coordinating functions, stress- ed Dr. johnson, presiding officer. Curricular Council approved all activities such as the Pep Club assemblies and shortened schedules. Those activities appeared on the official calendar in Dr. lohnson's of- fice.

But even before the first game, injuries plagued the Vikes. With the starting quarterback Scott Chalene out with knee problems and starting fullback Bruce Nail on the sidelines with back troubles, the worries began. Iunior loe Heeney called the signals for the home opener against the tough Oak Park Northmen. Lack- ing in experience, West fought hard the whole game but came up short, losing to Oak Park, 6-27. Again in the second game, iniuries hurt the squad. With Heeney out due to ankle problems, iunior Thad Millard took over at the quarterback slot. Millard and senior Steve Miller combined for a fine running game. Trailing 6-7 at half, the Vikes established a remarkable fourth quarter drive of 70 yards. Unfor- tunately, an untimely interception by Rockhurst on the five yard line stole all hope for another score. The Hawklets maintained possession of the ball until the final seconds ticked off the clock, edging West, 6-7. An impressive passing game led the Vikings to a 6-3 half time lead in the East game. Seniors Marty Milburn and Dudley Grossman both made fine receptions to aid the team. In the second half, turn- overs ruined any chance for more West points. East scored another 14, defeating West, 6-17. ...nm ' ' ' -r Football Managers-Carl Cilner, Peter Lindahl, jim Lindahl -- i+a----- Y 46 Football Football Coaches-Front row: lerry Skakal, Nip Shepard Cary Taylor.

For an athlete to become the best he can be, it requires many hours of hard work and self-discipline. Without motivation, an athlete can hardly achieve success. However, what makes or breaks the athlete is the amount ofphysical and men- tal conditioning done. Numerous punishing calisthenics, monotonous drills, sprints, endurance running and strategy pep talks make up most of an athletes training. Often the strenuous work results in sore muscles, bruises, weakness, breathlessness, frustrations or anxiety and frayed nerves, Hopefully, victory makes those times bearable. But victory is not always the outcome. At those times, the athlete must reach down deep within himself, pick himself up, and work to do better the next time. Clory and fulfillment come when he knows he has done the best he can and pushed himself physically and mentally to his greatest poten- tial. Training and inner-drive give the athlete the chance to reach for higher accomplishments than scores could show. 52 Odds and Ends A. ,..,R., ,, fat- F A- f .L in A 'X ? mi. 'FV tl it LU. W..

Some sports re quire a rigorous scheduled routine of off-season training. This emphasizes the total devotion of a per- son to his selected sport. 0 Students involved in athletics can sign up for a seventh hour course entitled Educational Activity. This enables them to spend the last hour of the day conditioning. The training for footballplayers, for ex- ample, includes sprints, agility earercises, weight lif- ting, and distance running to improve endurance.

After being considered for about five years, soccer, the fastest growing sport in the nation, has finaly reached the school district. Henry Aiman, journalism teacher, will be the coach, explained athletic director Mr. Nelson. The team will begin conditioning and practicing in August when the other fall sports begin. The student interest and participation will deter- mine how many coaches will be selected and il there will be a IV team. If 36 players turn out to play on the co-ed team, an additional coach will be chosen, and a IV team will be formed. During the first season, the squad will play and practice at West. The next year the fields at 85th and Switzer will be available after their reconstruction.

The team contained six returning letterwomen: Mary Belden, Sharla Cook, loAnn Dapp, Becky Carter, Theresa Sullens, and lana Talley. Seniors Mary Belden and Sharla Cook led this experienced group as elected captains. The Vikings began their fierce '78-'79 season with a comeefrom-behind victory over the SM South Raiders. After this fine start the Vikes fell to defeat, losing the next eight matches. Placing fourth by cap- turing two matches from Turner and Wyandotte at the Wyandotte Tournament, the squad boosted its hopes for the post-season tourneys. In the League tourney West lost to the Cougars of Northwest. The Vikings rallied to defeat Topeka before SM South spoiled their chance of a League title by defeating them. In Regionals the Vikes played three hard fought games against tooseeded SM Northwest, emerging the victor. By crushing SM South the West V-ballers captured the Regional title, earning the right to compete in the State Tourney. West gave the defending state champs, the Lawrence Lions, a run for their money before losing in three tense games. The girls felt very pleased with the result after a frustrating year.

Although Crissy Evert failed to appear at tryouts for the Girls' Tennis team, many other qualified girls came out in mid-August to take a shot at netting a varsity position. With only one returning letter- woman, Sue McCinty, the Vike clay courters pushed towards the upcoming season utilizing time before or after school for serves, slams, and plenty of situation practice. Doubles partners, Patty and Nancy Melberg, along with singles competitors, lamie Sigler and Sue Whitney, all contributed to a victory in the first triangular meet matched against Northwest and Olathe. The wins gave the gals a 2-0 record. After dropping the next four matches, there seemed little hope for much league success. But in the final meet of the regular season, victory fell upon the Vikes as they slammed the mighty North Indians, sparking an optimistic outlook for upcoming league, regional, and state competition. In the Sunflower league tennis tourney played at East, West girls took third. In singles play, Sue McCinty and lamie Sigler both placed third, while in doubles Patty and Nancy Melberg grabbed fourth and Val Wells and Cindy Blackburn, fifth. Much to the dismay of the team, none of the six Vikings sent to regionals placed in the top three, and therefore failed to qualify for state competition. The girls ended with a 3-3 record.

Captain Missy Henderson led the girls' team, backed by returning letterwoman Cathy Saxon. The boys' squad, headed by Captain Ron lohnson, viewed the season with high hopes. West guys finished the regular season ranked in the upper half of the field. Sparked by Kipp Walters and Ron johnson, the male Vikings fared well during their regular season but failed to qualify to par- ticipate in the State meet. The Viking gals captured third in the League with medal-winning runs from Saxon and Henderson. The girls' team sent seven runners: Cathy Saxon, Kelley Ashner, Gigi Gutekunst, Katie Totten, Ann Strickler, Stacey Lempio, and Missy Henderson, to compete in the State meet.

Five returning lettermen, Dave VanLandingham, Steve Reeder, lay Brown, Dick Tootle, and Scott Cedstad, gave the squad add- ed strength and depth. Captains Reeder, VanLan- dingham, and Cedstad guided the nineteen man team to an even 3-3 duel competition record. In the East Invitational, the Vikes captured second out of a field of the top six teams in the state. East edged the Vikes by .37 of a point. At the Lombardi Invitational, the Vikes took se- cond with the contribution of VanLand- ingham's third place in all-around. Then the West males grasped third in League. At Regionals the guys placed third with Dave VanLandingham wrapping-up first in the bars, vaulting, and floor exercise. VanLan- dingham landed second place in all-around, junior Carl Hopkins took third in vaulting, and Cedstad placed sixth on the rings to spark the Viking team to a third place state finish. ,g.----- f - -A- I B A .5 at - ,I 1 L 27 tl f .vu i-r-.--4 Q We -,......- ,.-...-.

In the six dual meets of the season, the gals won two and lost four. The gals took victories against Lee's Summit and East. On West mats the combined efforts of Michele Herrington and Dawn Circle gave the squad their first win against the girls ofLee's Sum- mit. At home, the squad nearly defeated Northwest with a strong first place win by senior letterwoman Martha Crise on the uneven bars. Michele Her- rington and Martha Crise took first in their events at the East meet enabling the gals to take a victory. The girls suffered six losses total in the season, being edged out by a small margin in many of their meets. Still hopeful, the female tumblers nabbed fourth in league competition. With a spark from their fourth place finish at league, the girls went optimistically to the regional meet. Much to the disappointment of the entire team, no West girl placed high enough for state competition.

After long and grueling tryouts, ten young men emerged as the '78-'79 West Varsity basketball team. With six seniors, three juniors, and one sophomore, a well-rounded squad began their march against a demanding schedule of opponents. Wasting no time, the Vike cagers dunked their first four opponents. Behind the tough rebounds of letter- man Dudley Grossman and the hot shots of junior Bruce Hinz, the squad downed Miege in the home opener, 59-51. Senior letterman Marty Milburn's 16 points pushed the West roundballers past the East Lancers, 69-53 in the second game. Victory didn't come as easily as before when the Vikes pressed up against the Northwest Cougars. Superior defense by the team contained Northwest, and the third West victory ended at 63-58. Traveling to the home court of the Rockhurst Hawklets, the aggressive Viking squad plucked the Hawklets, 62-50 and upped their undefeated record to 4-0. Exchanging the lead throughout the whole game with Oak Park, the Vikings came up on the short end, losing at the final buzzer, 59-58. In the Lawrence game again West played an exciting, close matched four quarters. Like the Oak Park game, the two teams stayed close until the final seconds. Marty Milburn sunk two. additional free throws to sew up the fifth win, 62-59. The team brought their record up to 5-1 with the victory. 1 Boys' Varsity Basketball-Front row: Bruce Hinz, lohn McGrath, Craig Coldiron, Craig Nauta.

Falling to the East Lancers 64-52, the Vikes gave their lead in the Sunflower League to South. Poor percentage shooting on the squad's behalf caused frustration and ultimately defeat. Upon entrance of the North Kansas City Tournament, the Vikings look- ed ahead to perhaps a first or second place finish. The opening game matched West with the North Kansas City Hornets. Superb team play and driving offensive work enabled the West team to slash the Hornets, 96-74. A fine defensive game by Craig Cold- iron also aided the victory. But the good fortune ran dry as the Vikings fell prey to the Winnetonka Grif- fons in the semi-final round of the tourney. The Crif- fons ran the show the entire game, handing West a 57-74 defeat. In the game'to determine third place, the squad met up with the Northmen of Oak Park, The two teams exchanged the lead throughout the gameg however, the Northmen seemed to excel just at the correct time, and the Vikes never caught up. The 52-55 loss gave West a fourth place finish overall. Failing to shut down the South Raiders' drive to score in the second half, the Vikings dropped their third straight game. Although the Viking roundballers cut the lead down to two midway in the third quarter, South stayed on top and took West, 52-43. Traveling to North, the squad met the arrow fire of the Indians, falling 38-63. Boys' IV Basketball- Front row: Ron McMorris, leff Manning, Scott Burch, lack Epps, Fritz Cabler.

Leading the entire first half, a Viking victory seemed apparent. Untimely ankle trouble to both Marty Milburn and Dudley Grossman caused the team problems, and Lawrence took ad- vantage of the situation. A big crowd saw a bitter rivalry as the South Raiders took on the Vikes at home. A tiebreaking jumper by South at the final buzzer snatched a win from the hands of the Vikings, 47-39. lunior Bruce Hinz got 79 points, helping boost the struggling Vikes to a 63-53 win against the North Indians. Stretching out the lead throughout each quarter, many bench players got a chance to show their skill. Even 23 points by Marty Milburn and 77 points by senior Doug Blowey couldn't push the cagers past the Washington Wildcats. A splurge by the Wildcats in the third quarter broke West's hopes, and a 65-67 loss resulted. A streak of bad luck descended upon the squad as another heartbreaking loss came against the Trojans of Topeka. Again the third quarter blues hit the Vikes ending the battle at 65-61. A close race with the Cougars of Northwest finally concluded in a West victory. Holding on to the lead throughout the game, the West squad took the game, 65-63. The Vik- ings had trouble with the Ward Cyclones, but battl- ing in a fast paced overtime, West conquered, 54-53.

UQ Nl U1 lntramural games reveal hidden talents just for the fun of it! That seemed to be the general consensus around the intramural athletic program. Those who liked to compete, but not on the high level of the varsity sports, found a nice release from the everyday tension through after school practices and fun, exciting games. The extensive interest in basketball caused 17 teams to be formed. The teams battled with each other in the tough aggressive Senior League. Eight ad- ditional teams of juniors and sophomores made up another league. Big name stars emerged through the weeks such as Howie Richman of the Suave Seven and Big Brett Cerhardt of the Killer Seven. The facul- ty squad sported a strong season much to the help of the strength of Clark Hay and the ageless wonder, Bob Harris. All in all, the season gave hours of reviv- ing and healthful fun that helped provide entertain- ment for the guys. Renovated track comlorts soles Keeping up with other district schools, West received a new 400 meter track this summer. The track, made of rubberized asphalt, -helped cushion the soles of runners from every walk of life. The sur- face created a smooth run, and the softness of the track helped prevent runners from possible blisters, shin splints, and other running pains. Throughout the summer months, construction crews worked diligently to finish the track prior to the beginning of the school year. At times, it seemed completion would never come. Masses of rock and piles of dirt forced summer joggers to detour their everyday running routines. But when it came time for the Varsity Viking Foot- ball players to go for their make it, or break it mile run, the brand new running track stood alone, waiting anxiously for the pounding pitter-patter of the shoes of the squad. 76 New Track, Intramurals Job oi coaches no easy practice 5 l v '---- -- -7 ' E ' i jig giiietsltgtts' i 17 l.......f 8 .. ...

Without the coach, the squad and the individual would lack the organization and guidance necessary in making a good team. Tremendous dedication is a must for coaches to be able to give up so much of their timeg at practice, at games, planning team strategy and dai- ly practice schedules, not to mention the many hours spent thinking and worrying about the welfare of their players. Many times coaches were looked at as being mean or unfair. Their ideas about coaching, formed from schooling and their personal ex- periences, sometimes differed from our own, but hopefully we learned how to deal with the conflicts. Others looked at coaches as their friends, unique per- sons with valuable knowledge to give away. Whatever our views, coaches shaped and molded our lives a little, hopefully teaching us winning was not everything, self-pride was.

Early in September, nine female linksters teed-off with practices lasting atleast three and a half hours daily at Tomahawk, Overland Park, and St. Andrew's courses. The gals worked on chipping, putting, and driving for the upcoming season. Senior letterwomen Diane Southwick and Stacy Moser and seven other duffers made West's team. Throughout the season, Coach Seymour stressed the value of experience through tough competition and the building of a future team. West's fiercest com- petition came from SM East and SM South, both sporting teams of sixteen seasoned duffers. West took the four-gal team of Stacy Moser, Diane Southwick, Patti Cazzato, and Angel Rarick to the League Tourney and tied for third place. The same foursome captured seventh at Regionals.

Correct fundamentals and conditioning 5 helped give the squad winning qualities. A new f-ievw-we f- 1, ' coach, Ron Merfen, instilled new ideals in the teams la-u . Q and elaborated on some of the old ones. Going up V, against a hard eight game schedule, the Vike gals trained intensively to better ready themselves for superior team play. Returning letterwomen Kim Humphrey, Sharla Cook, Becky Carter, Laura Long, and Sue McCinty helped give depth and experience needed to be a suc- cess in their league. Teamwork, baserunning, hitting N power, pitching, strategy, and fielding skills became ' major practice elements. Going into each game with a positive attitude, the Viking girls hoped they might have a chance at knocking down many opposing teams throughout the season. -L. - ,- lr Above-Returning letterwoman Becky Carter prepares to whip her deadly slider into the awaiting glove of a West catcher.

But nevertheless, snow could not keep the squad from working out. Preparation for the upcoming competition began on March 12. Practices consisted of much jogging and sprinting for those in running events, and for those in the field events, weightlifting became routine. Coming off his football knee injury, senior letter- man Scott Chalene ga ve sprinting talents in several of the running events. Chris DeMoss also contributed in the sprinting competitions. Returning letterman Mark Pennybacker claimed his mark in the long distance categories. The relay teams also looked for- ward to gunning down records and defeating other schools throughout seasonal competition.

The outlook for the Vikes looked promising with the return of about a dozen letter- women. Seniors Lisa Waisner, Cathy Saxon, Heidi Stein, and Missy Henderson helped to build a com- petitively strong team with the contribution of their experience. The gals held practice and home meets on West's new track that was completed last luly. The Black and Cold team competed in their first meet against Wyandotte and Washington on March 29 at West. The Vikes second meet at SM East tested the gals against runners from East, Topeka, and Southwest. These first meets helped the Vikes to sift out their weaknesses as they diligently worked toward the West Invitational. The meet, prestigious because of the large number of competitors, oc- curred on April 6, at West. UQ? .M -.1 4 Etta X 3 ,QFE5 I c IV 'y-1 X faq 1 thi! 3, c.,-za QQ ff , X l ' l .

During the fall season, the honor of state competi- tion fell upon three Viking squads. Each team con- tributed their utmost abilities in hopes of placing high or perhaps even winning a state title. The at- titudes ofthe coaches and athletes played an impor- tant role in their achievements. Going into Regionals seated last, the Girls' Volleyball team fought like Champions to steal a first place finish. The gals faced the Lions of Lawrence at State but fell short of claiminga victory. Still, their accomplishment was great. The West Viking Cross-Country team traveled to Manhattan for their State competition. The team took 7th with Missy Henderson placing 9th, Gigi Gutekunst 24th and Cathy Saxon 39th. Third place at State was claimed by the West Boys' Gymnastic team. Individuals who placed in the meet were Dave VanLandingham with four titles, Carl Hopkins and Scott Gedstad. I .. V X X .S , K V. ,-ff iw' n 's- ' Lg .

After a successful season of takedowns and pins, the West grapplers set off for state competi- tion in junction City. Overall, the wrestlers took thir- teenth. Individually, Bob Nickloy nailed third, and David Caldwell and Glen Abrams both secured fourth place finishes. The West girls' varsity basketball team went to Wichita for their state games. Following a surprising winning season, the squad seemed ready for their op- ponents. In the first round, a tough Wichita Heights team defeated the Viking girls, 74-52.

You are only young once. High school students with this motto in mind sought out different forms of fun in a genuine attempt to make their teenage years memorable. The options for entertainment were in- numerable, and Weststudents took fulladvantage of the opportunities that the area offered in the way of weekend enjoyment. The movie industry enjoyed yet another suc- cessful season with the theaters being frequented in record numbers by film lovers. Local movie houses provided viewers with a variety of films. Two block bus ters, Grease and Superman, entertained with light humor and fast moving plots. Animal House, most popular with the youth, introduced the latest rage in social gatherings of youth-toga parties. Music has become an ever present fixture in the lives of students. Young people spent great amounts of money each year on stereos, albums, and con- certs. Kansas City has been visited by a variety of celebrated rock artists, from Queen to Andy Cibb. Discos and bars with disc jockeys playing the latest pop records provided more musical entertainment for avid dancing fans. Another form of entertainment was the viewing of professional sports. With the Royals and Kings boasting successful seasons, many fans found sports an exciting way to grab some of the gusto that youth today enjoy so much. E ntertainment 1 01 females take the upper hand The females of West took on a different character during a role reversed evening. On Saturday, November 18, the girls readied themselves for the W. P.A. dance. The girls got a taste of what it was like to ask their fathers for the car and make reservations at a restaurant. The girls picked up their special dates and then proceeded on their self-motivated evenings. The bridge came alive with colored streamers, police lights, and strobes. Del Rice, disc jockey of KPRS, dubbed the disco Dance on the Bridge. The large attendance at the dance reflected an eager interest in music and disco dancing. W. P.A. was an enjoyable ,- . , X N I .

On Friday morning before the dance, a pep assembly was held, and the W.P.A. king and his attendants were selected by the student body. The ballots were tallied, and lim Gum was crowned during a special ceremony at the dance. Bruce Nail became first at- tendant, and Dave Vanlandingham was second runner-up at the dance. i.

O l The o o o Well, if West didn 't have the bridge, it would be like New York City losing Times Square on New Year's Eve. We wouldn't have any place to get together, commented senior john Poston about the bridge, which is probably West's single most out- standing characteristic. Containing 6,200 square feet of floor space, the bridge is a major thoroughfare between the two wings of the school. Most students walk the 150 foot span at least once and probably several times during the day. But besides connecting the school, the raised, totally-enclosed glass structure served as a major gathering place for pupils and as a multi- purpose area for most activities. The double row of benches running down the center caused the at- mosphere, providing students a ready made place to shoot the breeze. Many spent free time there before school, during lunch, and after school, enjoy- ing the opportunity to meet with friends not normally seen during the day. They could be called bridge people because they loved the atmosphere and mood of the bridge. Others, however, saw it in a different light. Non- bridge people dislikeda sometimes cliquish attitude and the fact that many felt it necessary to put on a special face to go onto the bridge. Generally, people either liked the bridge or disliked it, but no one could deny its importance. Although the bridge was not as free as it has been in past years, it remains as the cultural center of West. All dances, some pep assemblies, and most fund raising activities, such as the United Way telethon, were located there. It also served as a distribution center for everything from sophomore pictures to graduation gowns. People from other schools think of the bridge when West is mentioned. It is a gathering place anda center of activity, a melting pot of sorts. We assem- bled and met there daily, sharing this special struc- ture that is ours alone. 104 Bridge 1 Above lohn Ragan gives his impression of the Incredible Hulk but to please his mom reframs from ripping his shirt a ,.

Bridge 105 Unknown actiuitiea lining big neaullto Although West is known for its massive school support, some activities which do very well in com- petition receive little recognition. Conversely, some that are mediocre receive the most fan support. Many activities and teams have been consistently successful in past years, even though they receive lit- tle support. The forensics team is one such activity. For as many years as can be remembered, West's team has been the dominant force in the entire state of Kansas, winning first in most tournaments, and setting statewide records in several areas. In the same category, West's debate team posted its best year in West history, winning several tour- naments and doing well in all competition. Even though math competition has only been in existence for two years, West teams have dominated the Shawnee Mission area, placing first in nine out of ten meets. Coming off a district championship in 1978, Categories again secured a first place in 7979. On the sports scene, girls' basketball was one of the best teams in the West repertoire. Though they received little student support, the team won a record-breaking ten games straight and went on to win league. ..J,3 ..vM., .A ,,,. J T! 'ia an . . 14' if . Paooiag the hack. Again and again. . . Students and parents found themselves digging in- to their pockets for unexpected, extra expenditures involved in attending West. The costs for schooling mounted far beyond the twenty dollar book fee paid in the fall. The majority of West attenders opted to join Pep Club and to purchase a yearbook. Classes such as wood shop, math, and art somewhat required the students to buy goggles, calculators, and sup- plies in order to successfully participate in the class. Yet another costly element, students involved in any club or organization were often compelled to buy T-shirts depicting the title of their particular organization. However, the true money-eating items were the fund-raising sales that bombarded students each month. Groups sold everything from keychains to M8fM's to carnations. While some purchases seemed more necessary than others, the final out- come was still the same with the West economy flourishing, ii! 3 L ska? '-,L get '1- M 5 Tm we ' ..? . -' , .

Alumni and students, along with returning cheerleaders, Pep Club officers, and Vikettes watched the crowning ceremony. Last year's queen placed the crown on the new queen Deb Combest, and upon first attendant Laura Long and second attendant Renee Epps. The cool night air filled with emotion as Allen Green sang Queen's Song, written by a senior, Kevin Mc- Cracken. Emotion reached a peak as We May Never Pass This Way Again, the theme song, played for all to hear. To accent the theme, a backdrop depicting a Cothic castle stood behind the queen and her atten- dants. To further glorify the evening, the Vikes rallied to beat Southeast. ellueway ' The following evening, everyone finished prepara- tions for a big night out and for the Homecoming dance. Following romantic dinners, couples arrived at West and awaited others' company and great music provided by Harbour. Suits and long, flowing dresses prevailed as the couples swayed to the music. Setting the mood, the dance floor had crepe paper radiating from the center of the bridge in bright tones of purple and orange. Heightening the mood, Kevin McCracken sang his song as the queen and her attendants led in the dance. The hard work of StuCo members and other volunteers created the mood through decorations. The positive reaction of all who came to the dance showed that it was a success.

Receiving the title of second attendant was lulie Duckett, first attendant-julie Youngdoff, and queen-ludy Buz- zard. The girls reigned over the remainder of the game and the dance afterwards. The winners were recrowned later during the dance, experiencing the excitement all over again. Romance filled the air as couples discoed the evening away at the Sweetheart Dance. In honor of Valentine's Day, the Student Congress combined their efforts to decorate the bridge, hire a disc iockey, and show all who attended a good time. Providing the music and the disc jockey, the Disco Dukes, a company new to the area, dazzled the couples with spectacular and unusual lighting effects and occa- sional Lawrence Welk-type bubbles from a special machine. The Disco Dukes' D.l. added a bit of humor during the dance by unsuccessfully attempting to teach the discaers the King Tut strut. The dancers found better things to do with their own f'sweethearts .

The candidates were chosen for their involvement in school and for their academic achievements. The Saga juniors compiled lists of ac- tive students by talking to organization sponsors. The final list of names had students representing many organizations at West. The Saga Royalty crowning traditionally was preceded by a wild and crazy crowd-drawing event this year. The bo ys'and girls' varsity basketball teams vied in an outrageous Almost Anything Goes com- petition. First, the teams competed in an unusual spelling contest, the teams raced to form words with their bodies. Following this, the boys and girls fought it out in an obstacle course where they skateboarded, went over and under desks, jumped rope back wards, hula-hooped, and formed a human stagecoach. After this fun event, the b-ballers participated in a new team sport- the garden hose entanglement-tumble. The crowning ceremony followed the fun and games.

Many of the styles seen today originated in Europe several years ago and ha ve finally worked their way into the States. Women's garb was an offshoot of men's apparel. The style was coined the Annie Hall look, modeled from the clothing of Diane Keaton in the movie of the same name. Vests, neck and bow ties, and straight legged pleated pants dominated the fashion scene. Cals complemented their outfits with thin gold belts and spike heel shoes. Male fashion included hats, pullover sweaters, and leather coats. The crazes this year centered on athletics. With discos on the way out, many young people took up activities such as backgammon and raquetball. With more and more raquetball clubs opening up, this combination of tennis and handball chased tennis' popularity. With the trends on physical health, students, as well as heart patients and dieters, have hit the streets clad in sweats and tennis shoes. log- ging's popularity has reached an all-time high with sporting good shops reporting record sales. 116 Fads and Fashions Left- The latest in fashion this year was dressy tailored pants, thin gold belts and tunic tops, creating the layered look. Above- The bow tie, a fashion trend resurrected from male attire, is modeled with the new un- constructed blazer and dirndl skirt. 1 , . ., v If I I I J I -I A 'I ' IW' mia I 1 - -V ,..

NEW ATTENDANCE For the first time in West history, administration ef- forts to keep students in class appeared to work. The administration waged war against poor attendance records from previous years by enacting strict rules and penalties, which included special passes for any missed class or day, a new bookkeeping system to check up on those who missed class, and an ill-famed in-schol suspension room? a detention center of sorts, for any who failed to conform to the new standards. Upperclassmen were generally outraged at the suggestion that they go to class on a regular basis, but new habits slowly formed as the year progressed. One senior commented, I'm amazed. They are ac- tually carrying through with this. Although sophomores knew no better, juniors and seniors CHANGES HABITS remembered bygone days of leaving school with no problem and returning with no excuse. But the method of suspension was the highlight of the new rules. Instead of being sent home, skippers and rule-breakers were sent to room 131, appropriate- ly dubbed the jail by the student body. Once there, they were closely watched and allowed to do schoolwork on their own. Contact with others during the three or five day tenure was severely limited. Despite the solitude, one pupil, who wished not to be identified commented, l almost felt like doing something illegal again, so I could have another three days. Another commented on the value, I'm not sure the punishment did anything for me. I had a lot of time to think, though, a lot of time. 18 New Attendance System Above- The new attendance system promoted bureaucracy as absence slips became mandatory for admittance to class, 1 Ia: -- --- --f V .LY 'F' r Alarm! , V .Y 5 Q-Y! , A r ' .J B - F3 ,X I , bm MJ Q - ' 1 VW , V .5 , X ffl Y- - W . .W aff- ' Bottom-Many people enjoy partaking in the . celebration of their Viking heritage amidst the t 8 F 1 8 5 land of sky blue waters Below-One of the many pastimes of youth, ' ' discos such as Pogo's, come alive with music, C 8 tl Id It H 8 1 S dancing, and new friendships. At any given time on Friday or Saturday night, West students could be found dispersed in a variety of meeting places. Some of the most popular hangouts were the local discos and bars. People with interests in dancing and making new acquaintances of the opposite sex congregated at Bo's, Fantasy, and Pogo's. The atmospheres of the discos ranged from a sophisticated, Saturday Night Fever-like decor of Pogo's to an informal liveliness of Bo's. One step in a different direction were the bars such as Minus Six where legal seniors met to play pool and listen to a jukebox. Eating joints such as McDonald's and pizza parlors served the purposes of eliminating late night hunger pangs and bringing friends together. The McDonald's parking lot's surge of popularity gave way to pizza places with the transition from summer to the start of school. Other weekend hangouts included the shopping malls where time could be spent window shopping or pinballing. Arcades, although more popular with the junior high crowd, allowed those with a gambling streak to battle the odds ofthe pinball machine. King Louie was also a common gathering place for pool sharks , bowlers, and pinballers. Meeting spots such as these provided young people with places for friends to gather and enjoy the company in a relaxed atmosphere.

The planning and hard work of the group were evident and made the Prom something to remember. The lunior class officers, David Hass, Malinda McGuire, and Todd Green, made up the core of the committee, and took the reigns of leader- ship. The forty committee members met early in the year to choose the theme for the Prom. ln a closed- door session in Ken Bingman's room, the ideas for the theme were cussed and discussed'j with Southern Nights voted as most popular. Following the decision on theme, Prom committee designed their T-shirts. The shirts had an ape logo to fool the school with a mock theme. The group divided into sub-committees to separate the work load. The subcommittees were assigned to work on the dance floor, the picture backdrop, and the eating room. The dance floor and the construction crews had the biggest tasks. They had to transform the West gym to look as if it was a Southern Plantations Carden party.

The theme, Southern Nights transformed the bridge and Times Square area into a southern plantation. As prom-goers arrived, they saw the courtyard twinkling with lights, and white magnolias covering the trees. The circle drive was lined with luminaries, and as couples approached the door, they walked across a small step-bridge that led into Times Square. Decorating the bridge area was a huge backdrop displaying a Southern mansion. A gazebo was built where couples could sit in solitude and enjoy the at- mosphere. For dancing pleasure, the band justice played, and surrounding the dance floor were eating tables. Couples could have their picture taken in a flower-covered porch swing. Prom servers dressed as Southern belles added to the Old South mood. After the dance, many couples filled the hours un- til dawn with champagne roasts and early morning breakfasts. For the couples with curfews, the roman- tic prom dance was a perfect way to end a very memorable high school experience.

's Throughout the year, we were constantly finding ways to use our creativity. We expressed how we felt and how we saw our world, Through this expression, we showed others the direction our life was taking. The paintings we made reflected the way we perceived imagesp the music we performed projected the way we heard sounds. Gathering our thoughts together, we expressed them through the spoken word in speech, or we 41153 J helped express someone else's thoughts in a drama production. Many of us favored music and turned our directions to any of the bands or choirs. Un paper we painted, and we also wrote-our words filling countless pages of EPIC, SAGA, or OUT OF HAND. Our directions limited the expressions we took. Our expressions limited nothing. ciifeao uni arms add sparfle lo lia Hsfime Sliows Early on fall mornings the residents of 85th Street found themselves treated to the melodic strains of music by a onehundred piece marching band. The Viking band members started their routine school day at 7:00 a.m. with a very rigorous practice that lasted until the end of first hour. The band attended a two week summer clinic in August to learn the art of forming straight lines as well as all the other basic marching skills. Providing entertainment at the half time of all home football games remained one of the main jobs of the band. This year's half time show included the two songs Best of My Love and Proud Mary. They also pro- vided the Fight Song, the school Alma Mater and The Star Spangled Banner during the pre-game show. Ron McClellan, 1 West's newly hired band director, supervised the 'band while the student leadership fell into the hands of lan Sigle and Cindy Stratton. During the summer, Mr. McClellan, lan, and Cindy visited band camps in Whitewater, Wisconsin and Hastings, Nebraska. The marching Vikes par- ticipated in the Overland Park Parade, State Mar- ching Festival and Shawnee Mission District Band Festival, held at North. Playing football with other district bands, par- ticipating in fund raising activities, and a family pan- cake supper filled up the remainder of the extra time that the Viking marchers had.

Second hour and numerous times before and after school, the director, Mrs. Lelia Rodabaugh, helped to im- prove and perfect the musical skills of the talented members. They covered almost all types of music, from classical to popular, and performed frequently with their own soloists. This year Orchestra went to more competitions than it ever had in the past. They participated in state and regional contests, hitting a high point with their performance in Enid, Oklahoma at the Tri-State Festival. ln order to be able to go to Tri-State, members had to raise money many weeks ahead of time by selling boxes of fruit. The musicians designed their own t-shirts and made a unique '78-'79 Orchestra handbook, which resulted in an effectively organized and highly effi- cient example of student leadership.

Led by Ron McClellan, the new band director at West, a company of twenty-two students played the music of Woody Herman and Stan Kenton, among an assort- ment of other composers. Stage Band presented a big band and a rhythmic night club sound. The combo blended a mixture of saxophones, trombones, trumpets, guitars, drums, and piano to perform at such events as the annual United Way drive, basketball half times and at elementary and junior high schools to promote instrumental music at West and display their exceptional talents. ln order to join Stage Band, musicians had to be actively involved in one of the other bands or or- chestras within the music department.

Q1 of music enfhirall seiolars Loosely woven best described the atmosphere of two classes offered at West, Music Theory and Folk Guitar. The music theory students studied the history and structure of music. The course also ex- posed the students to the classical works of famous composers. The class studied chords and intervals, and worked avidly toward their initial goal of creating an original composition by applying the fun- damentals learned in class. The budding composers started out writing simple one line melodies and later progressed to other more complex four-part tunes. Some students attempted orchestrations for added challenge. These pieces formed the basis of the grade for the course. Folk Guitar students also studied music, but their study concentrated on a single instrument, the guitar. Students gathered to share a tune, a rhythm, or some knowledge ofthe guitar. The players performed once a week for each other, and these performances became the determining factor of their grade. Folk Guitar could be taken by an expert guitarist or a beginner. The novices absorbed the knowledge of the more experienced pla yers, while the pros enjoyed playing teacher. Both courses enriched students by providing them with greater knowledge of the music world.

Many concerts were performed, including singing at junior highs to recruit choir members. An ensemble performed at the State Music Festival and received high marks. The men received credit this year for participating and performing with the choral group. Becoming a member of Men's Clee Club required the consent of Mr. Oldham. He asked the men in his Chorale andA Cappella choirs to join, and any others who wished to join auditioned.

They operated on the same basis as the other choral groups, with member- elected executives'j a president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer, whose duties consisted of taking ui roll and other business. After much hard work, A Cappella participated in all major concerts this year. lll They sent representatives, including soloists and ensembles, to the State Music Festival, When asked . about the results of the choir's efforts, Mr. Oldham said, A Cappella performs often, but not as fre quently as the Chorale, just like the junior varsity plays a full schedule but only the varsity goes to the big tournament. He added that A Cappella perform- ed up to and beyond all of his expectations and he hopes for much more of the same strong level of ' quality in years to come.

Sixty of the school 's finest voices made up Chorale, and worked hard to maintain the high level of excellence. Recognizable by their uniforms of brown and beige, choristers performed many times throughout the year. Upperclassmen made up Chorale, hand picked by Bill Oldham the previous spring. Those who entered this special group usually spent a year in another vocal group such as A Cappella. The choristers prid- ed themselves in having many interests, such as par- ticipating in the musical. Chorale performed many times during the year and always received high praise, regardless of the locale of the performance. Early this year, the Chorale and the orchestra performed a grand version of Cod's Trombones, a black spiritual. Later in the fall, Chorale sang at the clubhouse of the Kansas City Young Matrons, and at Breckenridge lnn. For the Yuletide season, the choristers performed at the holi- day season concert here at West. They sang for an au- dience which came from widespread areas, and the concert proved to be as popular as in the past. Clos- ing up for the school year, Chorale accompanied the orchestra and the band for a spring patio concert. ,J- Below- Waiting to receive the vibes of the per forming soloist, Beth Crawford takes a break to enjoy a moment to herself.

Jmages 6rougi?l fo mino flirougi voices o music Clad in white robes with gold stoles, girls in- terested in improving their voices and gaining in- telligence in music met every day during fourth hour. Although Choraliers was defined as an open group, director Bill Oldham auditioned the girls from junior highs in the district feeding into West and placed them in one of the choirs. Basically a training choir, Choraliers performed a variety of female threepart arrangements. Mr. Oldham selected an ensemble to perform fora variety of audiences and at the State Music Festival. The students who participated in that ensemble received points toward their letter in music. Choraliers also sang at all four of the vocal music concerts, including the impressive candlelit Christmas Vespers performance. The girls eagerly practiced and excelled as the year progressed, with their goals aimed towards Chorale. C horaliers prepared each of the girls with a good start for more advanced work.

Besides directing, the casting of parts and the choice ofpla ys became the total responsibility of the two directors, Sandi Bodge and Caroline Upton. The cast was chosen by tryouts and call-backs in the Lit- tle Theater. Student-Directed One-Acts have been part of the lineup of drama performances in the past, but this year for the first time mimes were introduced in the time between the two plays. Mimists provided a definite change of pace for the audiences. Mime topics covered such things as a nervous gymnast to a little boy in church. The first one act in the program, Childhood by Thorton Wilder, dealt with the complexity and evilness of childhood games. The children of the family portrayed in the play devised strange and fear- ful games in which they imagined their parents were dead. The oldest child and leader of the other two, Caroline, instigated most of the bizarre, imaginary scenes about their parents. The Twelve Pound Look by l.M. Barrie, the se- cond ofthe two plays, told a brief story of a wealthy Englishman who was about to be knighted. He hired a typist to answer his letter of congratulation. The typist turned out to be his ex-wife. Her example of happiness and independence made his present wife begin to think about her role as a very sheltered and suppressed' woman.

Under the guidance of Robert Lane and Miss Kessinger-Sheppeard, student teacher, pupils participated in a general survey of the drama concepts. The course utilized the textbook, Acting, as a guide for the curriculum. The textbook covered drama concepts such as voice and diction, im- provisation, and technique. Students of drama per- formed individually and on the stage for their grades. This grading system insured that the quality of acting shined through. Drama students could be recognized by their wit- ty, humorous, and sophisticated bearing. The at- titude ofthe class showed best in one pupil's words, Basically, we have a really good time! Drama students wishing to go further in dramatics usually headed for the Repertory Theatre class. Repertory Theatre, West's dramatic company, met every day in the Little Theatre. The twenty-four ad- vanced dramatists sharpened and refined their ac- ting, writing, and choreography skills for a letter grade. Those who took part in this class had an in- terest ln stage, not necessarily acting. Those pupils in Repertory Theatre, from dancers to writers, remained a group of distinct individuals. All functioned under the leadership of co-heads Chris Hueben and Vicky Collins, and the sponsor, Robert Lane. Called 'magination and Company , the Repertory Theatre put on works already published, and some original works. They showed their versatility by performing at grade schools and after school at West. Though much hard work was required, all enjoyed the class. Repertory Theatre- Front row: Donna Michael, Lisa Pratt, Karen Bowen, Mary Lou Childs, Jennifer Stone.

Offered only four hours of the da y, Forensics classes rapidly filled with students who wanted a professional and en- joyable performing experience. Forensics pupils per- formed in a classroom atmosphere and also visited junior high schools and civic organizations to enter- tain. The group participated in the United Way cam- paign by entertaining on the bridge with duet acts, improvisations, and oral interpretations of literature. Preparing for the contest season took up much of the team's time, and they hosted their own tournament on March 10. They also traveled to contests at Em- poria, Pittsburg, Bonner Springs, and all the Shawnee Mission high schools, where they had numerous suc- cesses. The competitors who received a first place medal at any previous contest advanced to the Na- tional Forensics League competition in Emporia, Kansas. To get a taste of professional theatre, the students ushered shows at the Lyric Theatre and the Music Hall. ln Ma y, pupils wrote, directed, and performed a Forensics Showtime to raise money for the depart- ment. The year closed with an awards ceremony and banquet that enabled students to say good-bye to graduating forensics seniors. 0 Forensics 1 59 Jie ooroing a year-lvng Saga in piefures and 001198 Capturing the year, complete with all of its ac- tivities and special memories, became the goal of the 1978-79 SACA staff. The strong responsibility to the rest of the student body to deliver the yearbooks on time gave the thirty-five individuals incentive to work hard and meet the deadlines. The eight separate staffs and the two co-editors, all with their own iobs to do, strove together as a unit towards this common goal. The seniors met in August, deciding that the theme this year would be more closely related to West and the students. The book went through the planning stages during these summer meetings, and the plans became a reality with the start of the school year. During fourth hour the seniors held numerous meetings in the backroom where they discussed senior secrets such as theme, features, and t-shirt design. The sometimes perplexed junior staff carried out the tasks that their respective editors set down for them to complete. The bulk of the work was done during the four deadline weekends. The deadlines consisted of crop- ping, captioning, proofreading, and lots of togetherness. The staff worked at one senior's home the entire weekend. By Sunday night, nerves were often frazzled and bodies fatigued, but a closeness grew between the members that went far beyond the final delivery of the yearbooks.

They contended to a judges decision and received a well deserved All- American rating. They received distinctive marks in four journalistic categories-editorials, appearance, coverage and contents, and photography. Up to this year, the Epic had won four consecutive All- American awards. Continuing this streak became the flmerican goal of the staff. Attaining this goal of distinction was not an easy task, as many long hours went into each edition. From the written copies to the printed pictures, the Epic was a veritable storehouse of quality.

His role was to teach them and then back off. The Epic covered school related events but began focusing on Public Affairs Reporting. This involved using a beat system where the reporters could locate community events and relay them to the student body through the Epic, The Epic staff rode high this year as recipients of an All-American Rating from the National Scho- lastic Press Association. They were also defend- ing champions in the District Writing Contest. They planned on entering the Gallup Contest in New York, and in the Quill and Scroll Contest. The staff ex- pected to do well in both, judging from their strength in the past. The quality of their publication certainly deserved recognition.

Out of Hand members collaborated to put out three creative newspapers which they distributed free of charge to anyone who wanted one. Near the end of the year, they sold their largest endeavor and final project, a book-like literary magazine. Besides the work of Out of Hand's own dedicated members, the student-created newspaper featured the writings, opinions, and artwork of anyone who turned in their expressions of individuality to the Out of Hand contribution box, The box was located in Mr. lack Ashmore's room, who was a sponsor of the organization along with Ms. loan Kersnowski. The most commonly received student contribution was the letter to the editor appropriately dubbed by the staff Bite the Bitter Carrot . Many students aired their appreciative or adverse opinions, which at the same time brought many long bottled problems of the school to lightsuch as lack ofspirit and disdain at tradition.

Visual arts have been strong here, with an abundance of talented people. Art enjoyed its surge of popularity as witnessed by the phenomenal success of the Shawnee Mission West Art Fair held in the spring. The large number and high quality of entries reflected the acceptance of art at West. The number of classes also illustrated the great development and the enhancement of ar- tistic tastes. The Shawnee Mission District hosted an Art Fair for those showing excellence in their craft. Only a few pieces of art could represent West, so the art staff chose which pieces would do so. Budding artists chose Art I class, a general survey of the arts. By gaining experience in the various aspects of creativity, the artisans could make deci- sions on their next field. Those interested in adver- tisements and their construction chose Commercial Art for insights into layouts and advertisement design. jewelry that students produced in jewelry Class turned out quite beautifully.

West's main function is to educate, and no matter how varied our directions may be, we cannot escape the path of knowledge. Learning, synonymous, it seems, with tests, quizzes, and homework, affects us all, and only hy examining our own direction can we ascertain its importance to as There will always he school, and with it-knowledge. It is up to as to make the best use of it. Classroom chatter internationalized Cultures and customs never experienced before opened up to students who enrolled in a foreign language class. Students in Spanish, German, and French learned languages similar to English in some ways and totally opposite from it in others. The basic skills of the language: reading, writing, and speaking correctly took up most of the class time. Parties, field trips, and the sampling of ethnic foods Iivened up the courses. Beginning classes mostly dealt with learning the basic words and phrases of the language. As the classes advanced, students built up a fluent speech. They learned about different cultures, ethnic tradi- tions, and the countries' histories. Students participated in many activities other than class work. German students planned an excursion to a local restaurant for a taste of authentic German cuisine. The students involved in the Spanish classes broke pinatas while French classes celebrated the an- nual Mardi Gras. The motive behind the Foreign Language program was not only to learn another language, but to help the students understand their own.

Foods I, instructed by Marjorie Card, taught the basics of food preparation and service. Demonstra- tions sparked an overall enthusiasm, and many of the students in Foods I learned everything they should know to confidently attempt any recipe. To highlight the year, the girls hosted a Mother's Luncheon and a Christmas Tea. Survival Skills relayed mandatory kitchen duties to bachelor chefs. The students learned the cooking procedures from the beginning. By the end of the year, the boys prepared complete meals, including meats, vegetables, and desserts. Mildred Wilson instructed Entertaining With Foods, which introduced the girls to hostessing and basic decoration ideas for social gatherings. The class ended with a short course in cakes. The girls in room 150 toiled over their clothing masterpieces. Clothing I and Sportswear and Separates, taught by Mildred Wilson, consisted of garment construction and basic knitting. Beverly Craven taught Housing and Interior Design. Among the students' activities, they design- ed kitchen and furniture arrangements, and the major project was designing and decorating an entire house.

' 19 4,1 ll im ' J lv.- l Q Close examine ion of mind rmatter An insight into how the world works unfolded to students who enrolled in science courses. A variety of classes were offered for the beginning and advanc- ed students. The most basic class, Applied Science, lasted only one semester and gave students general information in the science area. The next class in line, Biology I, introduced new and interesting food for thought. Students began the year by working with microscopes. They gradually advanced to different branches of studies, depen- ding on who the teacher was and how the topics were scheduled. Some of the classes moved on to the study of water pollution and ecology, while others centered on cell life. They explored many other aspects of the biological world also. Genetics, im- printing, and dissecting were a few of the things that comprised the course. Besides Biology I, Honors Biology I and Indepen- dent Studies courses were offered to some students. They involved more in-depth studies and access to more equipment and research materials. Students in- volved in the honors and independent programs competed in the Shawnee Mission Student Research and Development Forum. They also went to state, district, and area fairs, as did some of the people from the more advanced classes. One of the more advanced classes, Physiology, dealt mainly with the functions and structure of the human body. Through study and experiments on live turtles and frogs, students acquired knowledge of the interaction of internal organs. Chemistry dealt with interactions also, but of a totally different sort. Chemistry students in- vestigated compounds, reactions, and testing for unknown substances. The people who enrolled in Chemistry took a test at the beginning of the year which divided them into two classes. One class centered more on math and calculative problems while the other focused in on lab work. If students wished, after completing the Chemistry I course, they could continue on with Chemistry ll. The final and most difficult choice of courses along the science field, Physics, served as a college preparatory course. The students in Physics studied such things as sound, electricity, light, and natural laws governing motion.

To aid in the initial decision-making process, pupils made use of the Career Center. Headed by Stephen Clegg, the Career Center provided necessary information for students to acquire career ideas. Mr. Clegg emphasized the important idea that a person's lifestyle must be taken into account when choosing a career. Thus decision-making, value surveying, and breaking down on biases were covered day course offered during study halls skills labs. The course utilized the Ohio Interests Survey to find the aptitudes dividuals. Once discovering their values, in the ten and study Vocational of the in- needs, and interests, the students narrowed down their choices. For the many students that wanted to enter a field relating to health, West had the Health Careers Course. Available only to upperclassmen, Health Careers I students remained primarily in the classroom, studying the systems of the body, and learning medical terminology. Occasionally, guest speakers-dropped in to tell the students of their careers. Health Career ll pupils spent part of Tues- day through Thursday at the Kansas University Medical Center shadowing specialists. This time spent there helped pupils to see what the day-to-day schedule of the specialists was. For the people that aspired to be teachers, West offered the Cadet Teaching Program. Those in this program made daily excursions to local junior high or grade schools to assist teachers by doing odd tasks such as grading papers. Some cadet teachers went to schools that have children with handicaps. By assisting pupils at schools, the cadets gained ex- perience in teaching.

Because of our society's dependence on mathematics, some students took math courses in preparation for a career. Since most occupations re- quired some training in math, West offered courses to fit the need. The classes students took ranged from the basic course of Algebra I to the complex and esoteric Calculus. The first rung on the ladder of mathematics was Algebra I. The pupils went about defining the number systems, and the properties of the systems. They also learned important concepts of Algebra that remained necessary for students to ha ve success in higher mathematics classes. Geometry came next in line, and proved to be a radical departure from Algebra I. Where all classes before dealt with numerical calculations, Geometry dealt with spatial concepts difficult for some students to see, but the ideas became simpl ya matter of course with much application. jumping ahead to more complex concepts, Algebra Il and Trigonometry and Analytical Geometry expanded on knowledge gained in previous classes. Algebra II expanded upon ideas taught in Algebra I involving parabolas and polynomials. Trig. and Analyt. classes primarily em- phasized vector analysis. Pupils also worked on redefining commutative groups and fields. Math students also worked on the properties of mathematical induction with analytical geometry and trigonometry. Clearly the highest level of mathematics was achieved when students took Calculus. Strictly for honor mathematicians, calculus remained the class to take if one planned to head for a science- mathematics oriented career. This course centered on functions. Students found the limits and slopes of functions and explored the topsy-turvy world of the complex number system. Rounding out the math department, Computer Science I-III brought the enigmatic computer to work for the students. Basically, pupils wrote out sets of instructions, using the keypuncher. Some scholars wrote complicated programs, such as plotting others' biorhythms. As the students advanced, they learned of the computer's workings.

' 4 7 Gaining insights int mankind Covering a wide range of subjects, the Social Studies department educated students about everything from the history of the world to the many and diverse complexities of the human mind. World History offered interested students the op- portunity to study events in the history of the world. The students gained insight into the huge impact the past had on future civilizations. ' Students enrolled in American History studied every facet of our country's history, from its struggl- ing birth to present day problems. Current events and term papers helped to enrich the growth of knowledge in junior historians. American Government fulfilled a graduation re- quirement for seniors, who had the option of taking the course for a full year or a semester. Students discovered the intricacies of government and how it works by studying many aspects of the subject. Students left the course informed and prepared to cast their first vote with knowledge. Offered for three semesters, American Studies took the place of American History and American Government and fulfilled the requirements. The course allowed students to select nine-week elec- tives that covered a wide range of topics. Humanities helped students gain better understanding of how human beings live and interact with each other and with other countries. Archaeology gave students the opportunity to dig into ancient civilizations by studying the artifacts left behind by our ancestors. Anthropology taught the lifestyles and customs of present day cultures and looked at the parallels bet- ween other ways of life and our own. The study of our society proved fascinating to students who enrolled in Sociology. The class touch- ed down on the social structure and a few of society's problems. Students participated in creative dates , and play-acted the class system to learn about our society's customs. Psychology dealt with the complex behavior of human beings, and pupils studied aspects of psychology such as Pavlov's classical conditioning experiment. Through Social Studies, students became more aware of cultures, history, and themselves.

Wearing their pencil leads down, hopeful secretaries took dictation and careful notes. Notehand and shorthand taught the fundamental skills that also proved useful later on in life. Notehand training was basically directed towards college bound students for an added aid in studying. Office Education prepared. pupils for immediate placement in offices. Clerical practice was designed for those who planned on going directly into secretarial work. Guidance in their personal qualities was developed so that the pupils would be more like- ly to succeed in their jobs. The keeping of records for a business defined Ac- counting. Bookkeeping, the prerequisite for Accoun- ting, prepared students with the basics in keeping books organized. A junior college text was used which aided the pupils so much that some of them quizzed out of beginning college courses. The keys of the typewriters clacked away as students typed their way through the basics in Typing I, the fundamentals of office efficiency in Typing II, and advanced work in Typing III. Legal complications were discussed during the course of Business Law. They also delved into the very complicated American legal system. Personal Finance helped students plan their future money management, the process of borrowing money, and auto purchasing. The major areas of con- centration focused on rip-offs and fraud. Marketing and Retailing, or DECA, taught how to apply for jobs among other helpful hints that applied to the students. Primarily interested in showing a lot of different ways to spice up a department store and purchase merchandise, DECA also taught the many tasks of retail management. VICA, West's Cooperative Industrial Training pro- gram, helped students gain knowledge in their in- dividual career interests and aspirations. Out of school one to three hours early every day, Consortium participants held a part-time job and worked at least fifteen hours a week. All of these classes put together created a good background in the vast field of Business.

Six teachers taught Drivers' Education, daringly jumping in beside the amateur drivers, who occasionally practiced at home and knew only textbook material. A coalition of in-class lectures and on-the-road driving educated beginning drivers. As an added benefactor, simulation prepared the prospective drivers for every day problems faced on the road. 1978 cars transported them during the first semester and new 1979 autos during second. New textbooks were acquired this year. The textbooks come right to the point and leave out all the extra garbage, commented Mr. Newman, the head of the Drivers' Education department. More juniors enrolled in the fall semester, as juniors had priority, while sophomores dominated the enrollment in the spring semester. Motorcycle education became another very vital branch of safe driving in recent years. The course consisted of thirty-six hours of classroom instruction and on-the-range driving, with an equal number of hours set aside for each individual area. Taught after school by Mr. Newman and Mr. Barnhart, the course gave one quarter of a credit and the class D motorcy- cle license. Let loose to the world, the newly licensed drivers obtained a new feeling of independence.

Elementary Drafting students spent long hours over their drafting tables, learning the basics of technical drawing. The more advanced Architectural drawers further developed their skills by seizing the opportunity to design the homes of their dreams and to make scale models of them. Pupils in the woodshop gained valuable ex- perience in technical and safety procedures. Students took Wood for one of two basic reasons: to gain insight into a worthwhile career or to get a start into a lifetime hobby. Workers in Wood could take up to three years of advanced classes. Undergoing a metamorphosis, the metal shop received improved facilities to better serve the stu- dents' needs. Welding, soldering, and casting filled the hours of the beginning and advanced workers' day, and many fine products appeared. Beginning auto technicians learned the fundamen- tals of engine operation, and how to choose the right car. The advanced Auto Tech classes worked two hours and covered practical concepts. Auto Tech ll went into detail while diagnosing and servicing the air conditioning and brake systems. Third year auto technicians worked on engine rebuilding. All classes made use of electronic equipment to facilitate the repairs. Students used the diagnosis-repair process in stu- dying the intricacies of small engines such as those that run lawnmowers and small equipment. Power technologists defined the various types of energy and followed these to their sources. From there, the students ascertained the various uses of the power types, and their future.

On August sixth, Pope Paul VI's death terminated his,reign of fifteen years. A secret conclave by the col- lege of cardinals voted Cardinal Albino Lu- ciano as the new Pontiff. He chose the name Pope john Paul I in remembrance of his predecessors. After a brief 34 day reign, john Paul I died of a heart seizure. Surpris- ingly, Cardinal Karol Woityla became the first non-Italian Pontiff in 455 years. At the age of 58, Pope john Paul ll is the youngest pope since 1846.

Tickets were 50 cents, and all money became a part of the United Way fund. Many various forms of entertainment enhanced the day on the bridge. A local rock band, Spectrum donated their time and talent and provided the students with some rock-n-roll, The forensics department presented several well received perfor- mances throughout the telethon. West's own lazz Band also filled the bridge with their own breed of music. Enjoyed by all, the telethon reigned as the best money- maker for the United Way fund.

For what they got we didn't want-head lice. The fact that no lice epidemic erupted here says something about the cleanliness of West's student body, though many were too busy checking their combs and shampooing their hair to notice this dubious achievement. Lice jokes spread throughout the school, but that was as close as Vikings got to the real thing. So, when at the football game the opposing cheerleaders yelled, We got lice, how 'bout you? we gladly answered, No!

Bigger and bet- ter opportunities opened up to the juniors. They were offered more course choices and given a chance to participate in varsity sports and other upper- classmen only groups and activities. One very im- portant aspect of life ahead, the taking of college preparatory tests, gave juniors a peek at senior responsibilities and of what would be expected of them in college. The most important event planned and carried out by the junior class, the annual junior-senior prom, highlighted the end of the year activities. junior class officers began preparation for prom months in ad- vance. Meetings held by the officers and the prom committee decided the theme, and they chose to hold the prom inside our own school gymnasium for the first time in several years. Not new to the atmosphere of high school and not yet the most upper of the upperclassmen, juniors found themselves sandwiched in between new and old students of the school. ln comparing them to a sandwich, it could also be said that they provided much of the sustenance for West. aber Below- Three mature junior women hold a perfect composure, while this sophomore youth flakes out in the usual manner.

The thief ran to the wooded area of South Lake Park for a hideaway. Although the thief was caught, South Lake over the years has been known as an excellent hideaway for partying and parking, before school, at lunch, after school, and many warm summer nights. The children of this area have used the lake for skating during the winter and the park for a game of baseball in the spring. What has happened to the park? The city had it drained due to a faulty dam. The park is no longer known for its beauty, yet it serves its purpose as a hideaway. .. V at Vi.

Riding terrain improved light years with the opening of the Rolling Magic Skatepark with its challenging, sophisticated con- tours. Skaters from the Kansas City area flocked here to catch the excitement of car- ving clean lines on the vertical walls. Before the opening of the Skatepark, skaters were limited to wooden ramps, dry drainage dit- ches, and to empty swimming pools. Skateboard equipment also improved with skaters going to the ten inch wide pig skateboards to improve stability. The new equipment and high-level skating projected a new image for skateboardingg that of a sport. 226 junior Album Scott Dupree lulie Dutton Rich Earnshaw David Eastwood Carla E ckerberg Brian Eddy Craig C loninger fingers gingerly the can of skoal that he found on the floor and tries to figure what to do with it.

The bridge was blown up because of deteriorating condi- tions due to snow and ice treatments. A demolition expert was flown in from California. After four days of surveying, the charges were set. When they blew up the bridge, all the charges went off except the one in the middle, leaving the center stand- ing with the ends down. E yewitnesses com- mented that there was such a cloud of dust that nothing could be seen for a few minutes. As a result of the bridge being out, traffic was rerouted from 87th to other thorough fares. 234 Iunior Album Mike Lorenz Mitch Love Denelle Lovelady lim Loveridge RoseLee Lowerey Kathy Lundy Pat MacCormick Michelle Majors Carol Malinowski Lenna Mallin Daryll Malnicof leff Manning Bonnie Martin Connie Martin Alice Martz Kathy Maschler David Matone NEE MISSION 'Though there is a great dispute over where the West began, it is not difficult at all to discover the origin of the Shawnee Mission. The Shawnee Methodist Mission and Indian Manual Labor School first began construction in 7830, Founded by the Rev. Thomas johnson, it was decided that the mission be expanded and moved to its pre- sent site, in what is now lohnson County. The Indians, Delaware, Chippewa, Shaw- nee, Kickapoo, and others, studied and worked 72 hours a day. Though forgotten by many of us, the mission, now a museum, still lends us its name, and because of it we are Shawnee Mission West.

If we had our parents' car, gas proved to be no problem. But for those who owned their own vehicles, it seemed as though the gas just guzzled away. Rising prices caused problems for drivers when they found their cars in need ofa fill-up. Handfuls ofstations turned self- service in efforts to battle the cost. Coasting to the pump ofa nearby gas station brought a sigh of relief to those who found their gauge on empty. They breathed easier knowing they wouldn't have to resort to primitive ways of getting around-their own two feet. .af Bob Russell Yukie Sakamoto Greg Salsbury Cigi Sands 'L Corden Sangster Chantal Schlatter leff Schlemmer Nancy Schmer junior Album 241 Mitzi Scotten Kevin Seaquist lean Severson lerri Sewell Shawn Sexton Sandy Shafer Bruce Smith Cara Smith lerry Smith Kathy Smith Stewart Smith Tim Smith Steve Spohrer Doug Stack Karen Stangohr Blake Stanley Scott Stanley Paula Steffenhagen 242 Junior Album Mike Schmidt Diane Schraad lo Lynne Schuster Keith Schute Cindy Schwindt CTP Donna Sill Chuck Simpson Sheri Sitzmann Chris Slevin john Smidl i ,J . ft if s ., ,.,. ,..

A mountain top If we're luclsy, the school will burn to the ground, and they'Il give us our diplomas early. Thoughts such as this began to pass through the minds of seniors this winter, As the final semester of their high school years progressed, the seniors began to look forward to post high school life. tarly in the fall, they had begun applying to colleges or thinking about a possible vocation. The collegebound students took the ACT and SAT tests to gain entrance into the school of their choice and to broaden their oppor- tunities. Throughout the year, the senior class displayed their pride in being King of the Mountain . The ex- clusive senior bench on the bridge, Senior Girls Club, and the commencement committee all showed the enthusiasm the upperclassrnen felt, In the spring, the seniors indulged in an unauthorized Senior Skip Day which eased their af- fliction with senioritis . School ended one full week early for the seniors, the last day being the day of - graduation. As the upperclassmen set priorities and made choices, they found themselves growing at- tached to the fulfillment of their goals for their post '- high school years. ,M ? fs' 4 ' hu.

One of the most important choices was whether or not to go on to col- lege. For those who chose to further their education many more questions needed to be answered such as what type ofschool to go to: in-state out-of-state community trade vocational or private. The costs of room and board books and tuition were contributing factors in the choice of a school, In an effort to fight the rising cost of a college education many seniors applied for financial aid and scholarships or opted to work full-time to pay their way.

This event, highly popular with the students and least liked by the admin- istration, was held annually. This year, April 25th marked the day that the attendance center had its hands full. Drink and Drown, an event held the night before skip da y, was li held at a local bar, and the seniors tried to Chet Defonso lvhfl DGCNOOI Kathy DGVUO out-drink the class that preceded them, Whether the record was broken or not, all tended to agree that it was fun trying to set an all-time record.

Each test was offered four times throughout the year to give students ample opportunities to take them. The average cost of the tests was be tween seven and eight dollars. Students could have their scores sent to three col- leges of their choice free of charge. The tests were formulated to be difficult so as to accurately measure the students ' - telligence. Students allotted three hours of their time to take the tests. Although many students weren t looking forward to taking the tests most colleges required them for entrance.

I .,-1' With twelve years of education behind us, we seniors have now come to the end of a road, with a bridge to cross to a new and unfamiliar path. Graduation is that bridge between our past and our future. High school has been important for us. It has not only taught us by means of education, but through experiences it has taught us values, goals, and the importance of individuality. Our years in school have helped prepare us for the adult world and have played an important part in the shaping of our attitudes. Although there are many things we would still like to accomplish at school, we must no'w look beyond Shawnee Mission West to what lies ahead. Commencement is defined as a ima l it 4' 'f A beginning , and with our commencement exercises, we will end one phase of our life and begin another one. Each senior will go his own direction and formualte his individual goals. It now becomes our responsibility to make our best effort to attain these goals. The future scares us but we are prepared. It is at the graduation ceremony that we will receive our diplomas, a symbol of our efforts in school. As we gather for the last time in the symbolic gold and black, we regret parting with our closest friends, teachers, and a school that almost feels like home. Savoring our final moments as Vikings, the class of 1979 will stand, silently reminiscing about the years we are to leave behind us. v ig 2 , ., ,V E- :TT -EE. I ., ., . V cz. ,.

Five counselors aided students with any problems ranging from schedule conflicts to undecided futures. Alphabetically assigned to their counselor, students could visit their offices any time, by appointment. Each of the eight secretaries in the front office took charge of one specialized job. Not only did the ladies perform their jobs with bull 's eye accuracy, but they assisted the students by performing many small courtesies every day. Betty Wilkerson, our resident Florence Nightingale'j helped salve our wounds with a pleasant smile, kind words and an occasional aspirin, with parental permission. Mel Smith-assistantprincipal.

The custodial and cafeteria staff undertook the tremendous job of maintaining the school facilities and cooking for the student body every day during the week. Repairing lockers, sweeping and general maintenance appeared every day on the agenda for the seventeen hardworking custodians. Many thankless duties went unseen by students and faculty who could not function without the custodial help. Balanced meals appeared day-in and day-out in the cafeteria for the pupils to enioy. Twenty-two cooks prepared the meals in the smoldering kitchen and served the food with a cheery disposition. The components of basic meals were offered, and a la carte made available a variety of food which could be purchased to satisfy the students'pangs of hunger felt around lunchtime. The work of the service personnel rarely received recognition but was appreciated by all. l ' l 1 i if laws iii - Q, , k ,f -4, ---s ll . g s... 'ith ' -il! .

V fa 1 1 As we sit here looking at the last pages of the 1 979 book, about ready to be sent to the publisher, we remember this past year. When we started working in early july, we didn't have a clear idea of how the book would turn out, what we did have were goals that we would try to achieve. We wanted a book that would pertain to the students at West, not necessarily a book for the judges and rating services. ln our early meetings, we laid a groundwork for the year: new ideas, new sections, new styles. Though not perfect, we feel that what developed is as good a representation of West as is possible. At times we didn't think we'd make it, and of course mistakes slipped in-but we hope we've captured the feeling of West, the mood of the students themselves. This is the direction we followed, the goal we wanted to achieve. As for your direc- tion? Only you can say. Have a good one. ,Q.f Aim fm viutppw Co-Editors in Chief, Co-Theme Editors .... .....

For some, the memories have been good-a time filled with friends, laughter and happiness. For others the memories could very well be called scars. But most fall somewhere in between. We've all laughed this year, and whether we want to admit it or not, we've all cried a little too. High school at times has hurt, but as we matured, we overcame these hurts. Hopefully this year has brought pleasant memories for us all, no matter what our direction. Ten years from now we will not remember the color of the bricks on the way to second hour or those months of slush and cold that seemed to drag on forever. We will remember our friends and the special times we had together. Memories are strange. Single, unrelated incidents float into our minds, a slide show of events: a smile, a shared look, a secret known only by two, a time standing alone doing nothing. Though our directions are different, we have many things in common. We have been together for a year or more. We have grown together, shared together, learned together. We have been a part of each other's lives. But now we are ready for change. Some of us will not be back again, but there will be new sophomores to fill our space. One thing we can be sure of- West would not have been the same this year without each one of us. Our directions have shaped West. Z i ' l r - di i l I - . V: , v' , I A A -4...
