Senior Class Of ' 70 Class Co-Officers President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Reporter In the fall of 1969 West End and Bluestone High Schools were joined to form the new Bluestone Senior High. For the second time since entering high school the Class of ' 70 once again had the exciting experience of making new acquaintances in their SEARCH FOR THE FUTURE. This made their senior year a very special year: not only was it A TIME FOR THE PAST but also A SEARCHING FOR THE FUTURE. It was A SEARCHING FOR THE FUTURE that had begun when eighth graders from the western portion of Mecklenburg County entered either Bluestone or West End High School in the fall of ' 65 and found out how great high school really was. The freshmen of both schools began SEARCHING FOR THE FUTURE by branching off to choose academ- ic, vocational, and business courses. Extra-curricular activities such as J.V. basketball, football, and cheer- leading played an important role in their lives. The ninth graders of Bluestone increased their treasury by selling magazines while the West End students were selling candy. These profits were added to the money for the Junior-Senior Proms. The sophomores began SEARCHING FOR THE FU- TURE by joining various organizations such as the S.C.A., the F.H.A. and the F.F.A., the Monogram Clubs, the Choral Clubs, and the Bands. The Bluestone sopho- mores also became members of the MONITOR STAFF and the GOLDEN LINK STAFF while the sophomores at West End joined the Dance Club, or the Co-Ed-Tri- Hi-Y. Jacqueline Baskerville, Dennis Wilson Paula Bouldin, Kathy Ferguson Nellie Bowers, Sylvia Inge Charles Scott, Ricky Van Hoy Gayle Brankley, Tyree Thomas The juniors continued SEARCHING FOR THE FU- TURE by getting ready for the GREAT SENIOR YEAR by ordering class rings and carrying out money-making projects. Bluestone juniors elected Boys ' and Girls ' State Delegates. An important event to West End juniors was the crowning of Debra Hill as Miss West End. Early in the year the Junior classes began SEARCH- ING FOR THE FUTURE by planning the Junior-Senior Proms. Seasonal Splendor and A Night in the Con- go were the two themes. Teacher supervision along with the determination of many juniors made the proms successful. Preparation for college began with College Boards and the National Merit Scholarship Exam. As the Class of ' 70 entered the final and most im- portant year the seniors realized that it was not only a TIME FOR THE PAST but also A SEARCHING FOR THE FUTURE. It was a year of fulfillment as they finally re- ceived their long-awaited class rings and senior pic- tures. As spring approached each senior focused his atten- tion on graduation and plans for the FUTURE by apply- ing to colleges or making plans for finding jobs. As the year drew to a close the seniors knew what a wonderful five years high school was. But each also knew that his memories and experiences at Bluestone Senior High School would always be with him, as the SEARCH FOR THE FUTURE continued. 28 — Seniors
