Mrs. Norma Law, who was selected by the seniors as their Grand Marshall, rode through the parade waving a pom-pom to show her school spirit. Saturday afternoon brought a well-fought football game in which West Carrollton was edged 16-12 by Brookville. Carl DiGirolomo and Garry Key were responsible for the Pirates' touchdowns. All of the hard work that was put into building the floats wasn't ignored. During the halftime ceremonies awards were passed out. The sophomore class was awarded first place with A .F .S . close behind with second place. Third place was taken by the juniors.

Cleaiy, S. Doepel, F. Lowman, G. Sticker. In the anticipation of a night at the theater, the audience softly fidgets in its seats. Finally, a few people decided to use some of tlie time to explore the world of dramatics. They have lots of fun examining the effects of lighting, make-up, props, panto-mine, and characterization for the total meaning of the theater. TOP RIGHT: F. Lowman, A. Pietzek, S. Doepel, G. Sticker, J. Wagner. THEATER The Effects of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds Three lonely people live in a world of mistrust and isolation. A mother has been scorned from childhood. She and her daughters live in separate worlds from each other. Ruth tries to fit in and ignores her misfit family. Her ideas about society and life are cynical, and she has little empathy for her family as human beings. Tillie on the other hand cares very much for her family, but she finds it impossible to communicate. An experiment with gamma rays and marigold seeds teaches her not to become too involved in her own trials, so that she may find happiness in the knowledge that life can be a beautiful experience.

Johnson No matter where you eat— IT'S LUNCH! 28 If you had a lunch pass, a car, or a friend with a car, you had it made to go out for lunch. However, the question is , where to eat? To some of the students McDonald's, Hardee's, and Pizza King have become a traditional eating adventure, but a lot of students felt that a half hour wasn't enough time to go out, so they settled for the school cafeteria.

Apathy struck throughout the school, While others decorated their trees up cool. One week too early Santa did peer, Leaving only bright smiles to all who were near. Then lending an ear to a song of the season, The foreign languages were part of the reason. Steve McQueen in Bullit we saw. For 350 the crowds did draw. Summing it up in one simple line, New Year's Eve had lots more shine. TOP LEFT: The main office aids decorate their appetizing tree.

A mighty Pirate busts through a crash sheet and specialty clubs paint signs and do skits to promote spirit. Students and teachers dress up for a rockin' and rollin' good time at the Fifties Day dance. Sophomores, juniors, and seniors crowd into the student lounge before school and between classes. Even a sentimental moment is shared when the seniors and their parents are honored at senior night. These traditions may be overlooked, but they are certainly Worth Doing Again. 44 TOP LEFT: Mark Hammons busts through the crash sheet at the Greenville basketball game.

Are they just pieces of jewelery, hunks of qoId set with precious stones with our signatures inside? IMo, thinking about them, we can remember the pride we felt as we got our rings, and then walked around the halls with our hands stuck out for three weeks afterward. We finally belonged to high school. We were not just the rookies anymore. Receiving and showing their new class rings: TOP LEFT: Jolene Maley, Barb Sorrel. TOP MIDDLE: Mark Kaltenbach.

Such stars as Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh, Groucho Marx, Charlie Chaplin, Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz , Charo, Mae West, and many others were there to announce the newly selected NHS members. Forty-one juniors and twenty-nine seniors came down to be inducted into the National Honor Society on May 16.

The seniors who are about to leave one world for another full of choices and decisions. We have, in one way or another, cried together and laughed together. Friendships have grown and died, but always there was another person very similar around the next corner with the same feelings, problems, and plans. If something must be said about this class it should be, The class of '75 was a class together. All of the familiar cliques have dissolved even if only for this short time.

A night of thrills, chills, action and loads of fun. From 9 to 5 am the Twin Racers leaped down the tracks, the Kenton Keelboats drowned innocent victims and the Eiffel Tower provided an exciting view of all the fun. Pure Prairie League and Chicago Styx played to capacity crowds and everyone who came on down found out that they've got a happy place. 86 Honor Is Given MARTHA DEAN AWARD Laurie Maxwell TOM COMBS MEMORIAL AWARD Terry Adkins E.R .

The song Exodus was choosen as the song sung for the occasion by the A'Cappella choir and then the choir ended the services with All Good Gifts . FINALLY! At the start of the senior year many seniors have already begun the countdown until they finally graduate. At long last, April comes, and it all seems much closer. The senior days countdown starts and preparations for the final day are underway. It seems like graduation is so far in the future—hours and hours of practice, the Honors Assembly, and Baccalaureate. But, finally graduation night is upon us, and before we know it, it's all over. 93 All together for one last time 95 The People’s Choice: This year's Outstanding Senior Boy was Eric Westfall. Eric's talents lie in art and music. He has worked with the drama club on their backdrops, and he's painted murals that decorate many of the rooms in the school. Eric took part in the Spring Band Concert by playing Rhapsody in Blue . Eric has already composed five piano compositions, and his future hopes are to study composing and to become a composer. Next year he'll be on tour, playing organ with the Young Approach. 96 Outstanding Senior Boy and Girl Kim Scheffler was voted as the Outstanding Senior Girl by the Seniors. She was inducted into NHS her junior year and became the president her senior year. The Dean's Office has come to depend on Kim since she has worked with them for three years. Acting ability !s a gift that Kim was lucky enough to receive. Half-O-Sixpence and Many Moons were two plays that she had leading roles in. She's been active in various choirs all three years. The University of Cincinnati is Kim's choice for next year where she plans to study nursing, 97 Sports is an experience all its own. There are the long, tough practices, the pregame jitters, and often a season of ups and downs. Until that moment when time runs out, and it's a fact that you've won, the hardships don't seem worth it. One moment is all it takes to make even the worst of the grind seem not so bad. Whether you're a spectator, a participant, or a coach you're proud of the Mighty Pirate teams. Cros s Country Movin’ On The Cross Country team was an inexperienced club which kept improving by the hard work the boys were able to do. The team members were more than willing to work. Coach O'Kresik's first year at Cross Country was a new experience with a lot of wins. The team placed 4th in SWBL, improving over the previous year's 9th place.

Their desire to win helped build the confidence they needed to be successful. For the team as a unit this was their year, The year of the Mighty Pirate. The season started off with a victory over Miamisburg, (26-12). The first victory over The Burg , W.C.'srival, for five years. The season continued with a five game winning streak.

As a whole the team's record was 4-4, placing 2nd at Kettering Invitationals, 8th in the U.D. Tournament, 5th in League, and 6th in Sectionals. The greatest success of the Pirate wrestling story came at the end of the year when Tim Perry, Tom Smith, Gregg Beall, and Chuck Hopkins made it to District. Chuck Hopkins placed 2nd at this level of competition and 114 became State Bait. Once at State, he wrestled his way to 3rd place thus earning the title of the finest wrestler in West Carrollton's history. The 74-75 Pirate Grapplers were led by three outstanding athletes, tri-captains Tony Jaynes, Mark Maxon, and Chuck Hopkins. The dynamic coach was Dennis Thayer and assistant coach was Bill Poock. With this superior leadership, our team was able to produce power, pride, and prosperity, awarding the team with another thrilling chapter in the story of West Carrollton's Sports! Chuck Hopkins, 185, was a Senior Tri-Captain on the 74-75 W.C. Wrestling team. With a season of 25-7-2 he was able to prove to his opponents, his team, and himself his superiority in his sport. More than anyone he achieved the goals he had set according to his potential. Chuck placed 3rd in wrestling competition at State level. Chuck's great; he made it to State!

That's the way it was with the girl's soft-ball team. Even though the wins weren't many, the spirit, enthusiasm, and hard work always showed through. This has to of been one of the best years for girls' track. The girls and coaches put in alot of time and hard work, and it showed by all the wins they had. Spirit really rose when the team beat league champion, Trot-wood. 127 A .

This group of especially pirited people not only helped our teams on to ictory, but they also strived for it them- Summer camp and competition seemed ■ hardest part of their job, but the feel-' performance was payment these people. SPIRIT! Where ever you saw the West Carrollton Pep Band, you most likely saw the Majorettes producing pep right along with them. These four girls, Gail Starnes, Maureen Maguire, Penny Starnes, and Sheila Combs worked hard to prepare for football and basketball games, pep assemblies and contests. The Majorettes were also in four parades. Highlights were the Homecoming Parade and the Memorial Day Parade. The Majorettes were also able to capture honors by bringing home a second place trophy for their great performance at Fairborn. Another appreciated group, the Pep Band, added variety to pep assemblies and basketball games. The Pep Band consisted of about thirty vigourous sophomores, junior, and seniors. They were led by Mr. Grable, the assistant to band director. Still Another Change As each new year passes by changes occur. One change you might have noticed this year is seeing the same cheerleaders at both football and basketball games. Instead of two varsity groups and one reserve group we had one varsity and one reserve group. The girls really liked the change this year because they had a taste of the cold football season and the heat of basketball season. Through both seasons the girls kept the Pirate spirit going strong through pep assemblies and cheering at games. The girls ended their awards at the Winter Sports Banquet. This too carried on still another change because awards were received at the Spring Sports Banquet the past few years.

Confidence, concern, persistance, and curiosity were the main characteristics of these people. It took confidence for a person to get up on a stage in front of one hundred people and still remember his lines. Persistance was needed for all of the beginning skiiers to keep trying even though they wiped out the first few times down the slopes. A little bit of curiosity helped students partially break away from our school to pursue careers, and many clubs were based on people's concern for others. Students Learn as They A group of people work year round to help foreign students feel welcome. AFS began it's activities when the exchange students arrived with a carry-in dinner at Wilson Park. The American Field Service received second place for their Homecoming float. Maria Koulouri and Henrick Sorensen became a year older during their short stay. Naturally, a birthday party was held for each. This ambitious group sold tee-shirts and worked in the concession stand to help pay some of the debts occured in the normal process of business. Hoping to interest more host families, AFS sponsored a carry-in desert. This affair featured many exotic delicaties. Henrick and Maria told of their native countries, and past host families shared their experiences. BELOW: AMERICAN FIELD SERVICE. L-R: FRONT ROW: P. Cramer, E. Bernandez, K. Kruse, M. Koulouri, H.

The club earned enough from this venture to sponsor a $200 scholarship for a WCSH student who plans to go into the field of education. They also sat-in for teachers during the spring conferences. During that same time the club wrote it's first formal constitution. TOP RIGHT: FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA. L-R: FRONT ROW: D. Christman, L. Stickler, P. Mann. SECOND ROW: B. Wanzer, D. Hendricks, R.

Mondays after school there was some heavy concentration in the library as Chess Club challenged each other's strategy of war on the chessboard and improved their skills. This year was the first year that West Carrollton participated in the television show As Schools Match Wits . Chosen by merit of all around knowledge of facts, theories, and current world events, our all-boy team was one of thirty-two schools to compete in the tournament for a cash prize. They seemed to learn more on the show than they did at school. Bible Club met every other Tuesday for meditation and some discussion of the Bible. They hosted various speakers and sponsored films in their study of how a student can relate his Christian beliefs to every aspect of his life. By holding bake sales and selling pretzels after school, they had enough money to purchase a large Bible for the school library. 146 Students Learn Faith, Facts, and Strategies of World Outside BOTTOM LEFT: As Schools Match Wits.

Some of the girls take other classes along with C.O.E. Students attend Region III meetings, Competitive Events on Region, State, and National levels. This year five out of eight students placed in Region Competitive Events. Of the five, three went to State Competitive Events. Accounting and related fifth place—Robin Gengler sixth place—Robin Watkins General Clerical second place—Angie Isham Information Communications first place—Hope Haines Typing and Related second place—Karen Garrison Karen Garrison received second place in typing and related in the state contest. There was one class where only practical things were taught. OWE students learned about income taxes, labor laws, family living, and other useful subjects. The sophomores involved in this program came to school in the morning and worked in the afternoon. They were encouraged to go to the Joint Vocational School or to join the regular school curriculum. Juniors developed good work habits. Seniors reinforced those habits and planned the annual banquet. The OWE students made name plates for their employers and the school board which were presented at the banquet. Learning Through Practical Experience BOTTOM CENTER: COE. FIRST ROW: L-R: L. Briley, S.

The Mighty Pirate Wrestlers have been sturdily backed again by the Wrestlerettes. Not only have Wrestlerettes gone to endless wrestling meets and screamed until they were hoarse, painted spirited signs and decorated wrestlers' lockers, furnished the team with Sunkist oranges on numerous occasions, held a garage sale, traveled to far-away places such as Trotwood and Tipp City, sold Pirate key chains and hosted the Second Annual Pizza Feast, they have to put up with the countless number of people who ask them if they're really girl wrestlers. VARSITY CLUB The Varsity Club recognizes those athletes who have earned a varsity letter in any type of sport. Their main objective, however, is to promote varsity athletics in high school. While in the process of reorganization, the Varsity Club seeks interested varsity athletes to take an active part in the club. A new constitution will allow male AND female athletes to participate in the club upon receiving their varsity letter. Under the advisement of Mr. Poock, projects of the club included cleaning the stadium after games, guarding the doors at Winter sports events, and, of course, receiving their ever-traditional letter jackets.

Leaders Club was a huge success for its third year. Miss Grist is the advisor for the all-girl club. The girls act as gym assistants for the gym classes and are also in charge of equipment. The only two requirements for joining GAA are that you enjoy sports and like to have fun. The girls enjoy free play in the gym, have gone bowling and skating, and planned a mother and daughter banquet. By selling buttons at the homecoming parade and candy during the second quarter, GAA was able to attend a Red's baseball game. BELOW: Leaders (T-B, L-R):P. Mann, C. Sharitts, R. Grist, B.

Each May the student body elects their student council members for the following school year. Each class is represented in council by four Senators, five District Representatives, and their class president and vice-president. Foreign Exchange students are automatically members of the council. During the 1974-75 school year, the student council sponsored the Dr. Irwin Ross Assembly, the movie Bullitt, the Annual Powder Puff Game, and a questionable removal of the lounge furniture. They have also sponsored two informal dances, which came off with some limited success. Student Council is also in charge of running the concession stand during basketball games, wrestling meets, and after school. 156 for Themselves and Others Life Lab is a learning experience. It helps a person to decide what he does and does not like, and where his special place in life is. Students feel that Life Lab gives them a brighter outlook for the future. Food Council led by Miss Mahaney is an organization designed to act as the go-between for the students and the cafeteria staff. They receive complaints from the students and act to improve the situation. They have also started work on a mural to decorate the cafeteria wall. 157 Q WMQ8M the girls in Dean’s These are the students who braved Mrs. Chambers, Mr. Ousley, and Mrs. Russell, and gave their assistant to help make our school function properly.

The Library was run by one giraffe, assisted by a small white kitty. The giraffe and the kitten were helped by elves, library elves plus Dud the Dragon and one Oaf. The Library was a wondrous old mansion, filled with whimsical and mystical books. In one room of the Library there were the ancient Roman duplicating crystal balls. In another room were kept all the miraculous and mystifying projecting and recording what-nots. This was the domain of the little white kitten and was kept locked and secured behind heavy oaken doors. Leading off from the magical tile road toward the valley of the Wise Ones is the dark alcove where the newly throned Black Prince reigns. In the farthest distant dungeon are kept the ancient treasures of Life and Happiness neatly inscribed on scrolls. Countless times during the day the weary warriors came trudging into the mansion to rest their weary bones on our magical toadstools while increasing their knowledge by reviewing our books of wizardry, intellectual what-nots, and trivia. So if one day YOUR battle runs old; knock upon the north gate and enter the realm of the unknown quiet.

Drama Club learned how to apply stage make-up, and in the spring they held a cookie drawing. The winners received dinner out and tickets to the spring play. Radio and Morning announcement staff worked to get on the air, making the station better with a new antenna and some new equipment. Ham Radio made and donated a new scoreboard to the athletic department. They also ran communications during the Homecoming parade. L TOP LEFT: Drama Club. FIRST ROW: L. Mikesell, S. Johnson, P.

Following tradition, the newspaper was appointed a new advisor, Mrs. Kemper, although she advised the paper previously. Because of the magazine type format, each of the four returning seniors and one junior became editors of a page, front, editorial, feature, sports and entertainment. The rest of the staff filled these pages with timeless, interesting prose. All staff members learned how to rough and final, a process of typing in columns, and paste-up, which is arranging the stories on a layout. And the group was called the Sketches of the Mind An unusual group of people who spend their time Writing down their thoughts, dreams, and desires And even though what they write isn't truthful One could never call them a group of liars For fiction and dreams is the one thing To which they are all faithful And to help them open their mind's door Is a golden locked lady of legendary lore.

All of the food we consume in the cafeteria has to be made by someone and these ladies do the job well. If you live far away a bus feels much better than a walk would on a cold winter morning. The custodians take good care of the school by keeping it clean and in tip-top shape. These people often blend into the daily routine, but they are certainly people we couldn't do without.

Financially hard times was the excuse used by some of the businesses. Maybe they were afraid that our yearbook wouldn't turn out well, and yet some businesses did have faith in us.
