On Friday, the week before homecoming, the announcement of Queen Sherry Clark, and King Gary Hartman and the court was made. On the morning of October 11, the parade began with Grand Marshall, Mr. Irvin Ray waving proudly to the crowd. Colorful floats lined the streets, showing off their brilliant colors, and the hard work that had been put into them. Awards went to: The Junior Class for 1st; A.F.S. for 2nd; and the Band for 3rd. The game that afternoon against Tecum-seh High School was hard fought. Though West Carrollton lost, (14-13), the spirit was still there. Saturday evening the students of W.C. and their dates, had an evening of fun and dancing. The dimly lit, decorated little gym gave the atmosphere a lift even higher. Couples had a good time.

Student Council's major accomplishment of the 1975-1976 school year, was the reconstruction of the Student Council. Council members, led by President Chris Horner, decided to change the structure of the Student Council for future members. There will no longer be District Representatives, instead, club and organization presidents will be members of the council. A smaller council will be composed of the president, vice-president, and senators of each class, and will meet weekly. A larger council composed of the small council and club presidents, will meet monthly. In a letter published by Chris Homer, she said, I feel good about what we have done and wish great success to next year's council. Remember, an organization is only as strong as it's weakest member. 85 GETTING HIGH WITH 1976 Piratan Staff Co- Editors............ Business Manager . . . . Advisor................

But, being part of a group that is responsible for making plans for a whole class isn't so easy. These class officers did a good job in looking out for the well being not only of the SENIORS, but the other students as well. Trying to find something to do that EVERYONE would like wasn't easy . What they needed was a lot more people who were enthusiastic. Working together on Prom was an example of one of their most successful contributions.

Being in ERA throughout high school, N.H.S., B.H.S., and being N. H. S. president were just a few of her accomplishments. Though she will be going to Miami University on her Guiler Scholarship, Karen has no immediate plans for the future. 108 the Class of 76 Dana, of Don-Yell , was very well known for his morning announcements.

While 387 graduating Seniors and Juniors practiced in the gym, good ole Mr. Huffman was up front shouting out sayings like- Arm and arm and , or Keep it going! We'll be here till I think you've got it! Though it was hot and sticky, everyone did a pretty good job. The class was a little shaky on some things, (like the removal of the caps), but everyone would find out at the Honors Assembly the next day. The Honors Assembly went smoothly. The Seniors marched in, took their places and participated in receiving and presenting awards. After the class marched out, the Junior class of '77 ran over to the Senior side of the gym to take their places as the next Senior class at West Carrollton. At the same time, the graduates-to-be went out partying at places such as Walhdrue Park, Hueston Woods, and Glen Helen. On Sunday, June 6, 1976, Baccalaureate services were held in the gym, with Rev. Robert E. Butcher giving the sermon. The choir sang the hymn 'Old Irish Blessing,' and the Senior choir members sang 'The Lord Bless You And Keep You'. (Under the direction of Mr. Patterson) The tenseness of graduating was getting to the Seniors. ■ lure Monday, June 7, 1976, the Seniors marched into the NCR Auditorium so proud to be the class of '76. Taking their seats in front of the audience and going through the exercise, the Seniors knew it was only moments before they were really graduates. While receiving their diplomas from Mrs. Russell and Mrs. Mann, the Seniors knew that this was what graduation was all about. Not only getting that diploma, but being with friends together as a class for one last time. Knowing that there is a future ahead, and that they are going to strive for it. Hey Seniors!

The main job of a wrestlerette is to promote and give lots of spirit to the wrestlers. At the beginning of the season, the wrestlerettes had a big turn out, but it went down to less than half of the beginning membership. Nevertheless, they had a spirited year with the change of wearing uniforms. Hoarse voices and worn-out hands proves that wrestlerettes had a great season. Wrestlerettes had great leadership this year with Jana Dunn as President, Donna Crone-wett as Vice-President, Patty Kneer as Secretary, and Kim Westray as Treasurer. Their advisor is Coach Thayer. 160 161 Penny Starnes 1975-1976 Liz Hery 162 Donna Bogan 163 TOP ROW: S. Justice, V. Blackstone, L. Middleton, A. Pearson, K. Cooper, K. Marsh, D Taylor, J. Glass, D.

Every year there are changes in our cheerleaders, whether it be one or two graduating or some new ones coming in. No matter what the changes are, one thing is for sure-they're great! The girls stay after school practicing their routines so they will be just perfect to perform at our next game or pep assembly, and so the team will know we're behind them all the way to root them on to a victory. Even when the guys lose, the cheerleaders are always there to cheer them on and even occasionally to cheer them up. No matter where the teams go, the girls are there to let the opposition know that West Carrollton is there and ready to fight. We have the spirit and power to win. 167 sjomnp ★★★★★★★ ★★★★★★ ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ ★★★★★★ ★★★ ★★★★★★ ★★★ ★★★★★★★ ★★★ ★★★★★★★ ★★★ ★★★ ★★★ ★★★ ★★★ ★★★ ★★★ ★★★★★★★ ★★★ ★★★★★★★ ★★★ ★★★★★ Greg Adkins Joey Adkins Paul Ahlquist Jane Aldridge Bobbi Andronaco Jeff Atherton Deanna Baily Wade Barnett Krista Battaglia Laura Bauer Cindy Bell Sandy Bell Mark Benbow Sheryl Benett Pam Benton Alice Berryman Bob Bickert Darlene Biehn Mike Bitonti Wanda Blain Dave Blaylock Jeff Bogan Joey Bowman Monica Bramlish Debbie Brandenburg Keith Brane Bill Branham Debbie Brock Brenda Broerman Dale Brown Kevin Brown Chris Brun Kelly Buirley Mark Burford Eric Burneson Steve Burns Mike Bush Patty Camden Karen Cassell Jack Clark Scott Clark Dorthy Clair Jonnie Clibbery Dina Cole Keith Cole Jim Cole Joyce Cole Greg Colegate Beth Combs Glenn Combs Shelia Combs Don Conrad Clinton Cook Joni Cook Cheryl Cooney Brian Cooper 170 Ruth Cooper Paul Coots Dave Cope Martha Comely Dwaine Cox Greg Cradduck Tim Cunnagin Mark Currie Patsy Currin Dave Dalrymple Alica Davis Patricia Davis Scott Dearth Diana Deisher Lauri Dempster Beverly De Vilbiss Loren Dewey Sue DiGirolomo Kathy Dilley Debbie Dixon Pam Domi Danna Dorsey Donna Dorsey June Dunn Cheryl Durham Bob Durham Lori Edmundson Mike Enterman Jeff Erickson Dennis Erwin Gale Estridge Carla Evans Larry Fannin Christi Faust Kevin Ferguson Karen Figgins Donna Finch Judy Flesch Donna Freeman Scott Gabbard James Gabel Karen Gebhardt Steve Gengler Debbie Gibbons Gary Gibson Bob Gilbert Karen Gilman Jay Gould Alynn Grantham Rick Gray Marcia Greenlee Cindy Guidry Scott Grothjan Becky Gutwein Marsha Gyourko Carole Haggerty 171 Brent Hale Frances Hall Pam Hall Tammi Hamilton Brenda Hanes Roger Hanney Paul Harbeck Tim Harris Terri Harville Pam Helfinstine Dave Helm Gary Helmick Dwayne Henson Kathy Hess Pam Herbst Herb Hetzer Tamie Hilderbrandt Mary Hitchcock Joy Hochwalt Claudia Hopkins Mark Howell Dave Huesman Diane Hughes Cynthia Hutchinson Sunthary Ith Rob Jaeggi Cindy Johnson Darrell Johnson Glen Johnson Joy Johnson Wilbur Johnson Michael Juenger Tim Justice Debbie Kaley Mark Kaltenback Kim Kegley Margie Keith Pam Kidwell Lois Knight Karen Koehnen Larry Kolpek Gary Kruse Debbie Layne Jim Leadingham Jeff Leis Terri Leist Donna Lewis Mike Lewis Gary Link Terri Linville Jim Loeb Jerry Loffer Larry Lovell Tom Lowry Phil Luzius Jolene Maley 172 Tammy Malmsbury Monica Manning Jeff Marsh Leslie Marsh Sue Martin Greg Martina Richard Maxwell Debbie Mayton Julie McClellan Vicky McCrossin Julie McCullough Kim McDaniel Mary McGrath Mike McKinney Kelly McKenzie Johanna McQuilkin Gary Meddock Mike Meek Jerry Mescher Terri Meyer Dennis Michael Libby Middleton Jeff Mikesell John Miller Pricilla Miller Tom Mize Ed Moody Brenda Moore Judy Mumma Sue Napier Tammy Neal Vicki NeCamp Rechelle Neese Linda Neuberg Steve Oda Rosie Overstreet Jerri Parke Jenny Parker Cheryl Payne John Payne Jack Payner Tim Perry Dale Petrey Dirk Pettit Mark Phillips Kent Porter Trilla Presley Keith Proctor Lester Profitt Roger Purvis Carla Qualls Duane Quillen Patti Rayle Brenda Reagan Susan Reid Ramona Reinhart 173 Nancy Reynolds Mike Rhoda Diana Rickey Tim Riddlebarger Jim Ritchie Randy Robinson Steve Rodgers Steve Rogers Rod Rohovsky Carol Rollins Glenda Rumpke Kevin Ryan Eva Salley Steve Saunders Karen Saupe Dave Schlorman Ann Schott Linda Schwab Jeff Schwager Chris Seale Tom Seats Donna Shively Dave Shockey Denise Shultz Buddy Shutts Pam Siegel Bev Simpson Vicki Smith Joy Snell Barb Sorrell Pam Stapleton Penny Starnes Tony Stephens Dale Still Keith Strader Gayle Strickler Christi Sturgill Teresa Swank Charles Szeman Gail Taliaferro Liz Tate Debbie Taylor James Taylor Gayne Terry Sandy Thacker Viann Thevenin Brad Thien Gary Thomas Kim Townsend Karen Tysseling Lisa Urschel Barry Vaught Kim Vaught Patte Viers Dave Wade Karen Wade 174 Bob Wanzer Janet Ward Beth Waters Jon Watkins Trent Weaver James Welch Mark Westfall Angie Whaley Janet Wheeler Frank White Danny Wiley Linda Williams John Wills Alice Wilson Anne Wilson Donna Wilson Karen Wilson Jeff Whitham Cindy Woxman Alan Wright Gerald Wright Welling Ziegler Billy Branham Fred Kline CLASS OFFICERS: L-R: Alice Wilson, vice pres., Dave Hues-man, pres., Jerri Parke, treas., Laura Bauer, sec.
